hen many people think of art, their first thought is a painting on a wall. But art encompasses many different forms of expression, all of which impact our lives by bringing beauty and meaning to everyday subjects. Although sidewalk painting has been around for many years, it is one of the lesser-known forms of art and is becoming increasingly popular—especially in the Bartlett area—due to a vision by Bartlett Arts Council Chairman-elect and St. Ann’s art teacher, Deidre Seymour. Several years ago, Deidre Seymour attended the Tennessee Arts Academy at Belmont University in Nashville where Florida-based featured artist, Lee Jones, promoted sidewalk painting as a great community event incorporating art, history, community and fundraising. Seymour was excited about trying to bring a similar event to Bartlett. “I saw a need in Bartlett for the community to come together in some sort of creative endeavor to gain awareness for the many talented artists in and around Bartlett, but also for the Bartlett Arts Council and our member organizations to be involved in a direct communitycentered art making experience.” Seymour had a trial run with the idea in 2010 with her middle school students as part of a schoolwide Environmental Fair which was featured on WKNO’s show hosted by Ken Tucker, Tennessee Wild. The students created images of native Tennessee animals and endangered species using high quality chalk pastels on the sidewalk around St. Ann School. The event at St. Ann was such a success that Seymour was able to persuade the Bartlett Arts Council to sponsor an event called “Chalk the Walk” for the community at large in an effort to gain awareness for the arts in Bartlett and to raise money for ongoing community programming. Over the past three years, the Bartlett Arts Council has sponsored Chalk the Walk in conjunction with St. Ann’s Annual Bartlett Block Party, and the event has grown from rather modest beginnings to being at capacity for the space available in the St. Ann courtyard. Each year, participation and attendance for the fall event has doubled, and event organizers are hoping to continue to grow the festival even more in the upcoming years. Sidewalk painting is part fine art, part installation,

and part performance art. The barriers between the artist and the viewer or audience are removed. While existing as a sidewalk gallery, the event also functions as a social center allowing viewers to interact with artists, artists to gain insight and interact with one another, and for the process of creation to be revealed and transparent; the experience is in stark contrast with the traditional method of producing and displaying art, where artists create in the solitude of their studio, and the public only sees the art when it is revealed in shows or traditional galleries after it is completed. Another aspect of this art form that is unique is the emphasis on the creation of art for art’s sake. The work is in essence transitory, not meant to last; in fact, after a period

Bringing Modern Day Sidewalk Painting to Bartlett of time the work is pressure washed off of the concrete. The first artists to produce art on the ground were the madonnari, 16th century Italian vagabond artists who produced art for alms, using it as a sort of Renaissance-era advertising in the hopes of gaining commissions for larger pieces. The madonnari usually depicted images of the Virgin Mary outside of churches and cathedrals. The origins of modern-day street painting began in the late 19th century in England. The first documented street painting festival was in 1902 in London. In keeping with historical traditions, the Bartlett Arts Council loves that they have been able to host their Chalk the Walk community festival in the courtyard in front of St. Ann Church. 5

Despite the extensive history of this unique art form, sidewalk painting festivals did not begin in the United States until the 1980s at a festival in Santa Barbara, California, after the festival founder had traveled to Italy and witnessed the huge International Street Painting Festival in the village of Grazie di Curtatone which is held each year in August. One of the largest events in the United States is Lake Worth Street Painting Festival, held in Lake Worth, Florida. Since its inception in 1994, the event has attracted over 100,000 visitors to see over 250 works of art come to life by more than 400 artists. Over the past few decades, awareness of these types of festivals and how they so uniquely and effectively tie the community together and reveal the creation process in a way other art forms do not have spread across the country as community organizations and not-for-profits have chosen to incorporate sidewalk painting into their own events. “Chalk the Walk has brought a renewing of the arts to the community by bringing all ages together to express and embrace a fun and creative way for artists, families, friends and community to enjoy a very unique art medium,” said Lisa Johnson, President of the Bartlett Arts Council. “You have the experience to watch a painting come to life in front of your eyes. All of the artists are able to practice their love for art and be able to support their community at such a unique event.” Chalk the Walk artists have included artists from other states as well as local artists, art teachers, and students as young as 12-years-old. Participants have even spanned generations including mother/daughter and father/ daughter teams. Jennifer Hughes, the featured artist and winner of the 2014 people’s choice award at Chalk the Walk, traveled from Little Rock, Arkansas, to participate in the annual event. Hughes, mother of two and Special Events Coordinator for the State of Arkansas, looks forward to

chalking in Bartlett every year. “Participating in Chalk the Walk for the past two years was an amazing experience! In my adulthood, I don’t find many opportunities to focus on creating something just for the pure joy of creating, so I look forward to the event when I can let go of ‘real life’ and be energized and inspired by the other artists around me.” The Bartlett Arts Council hosts a workshop prior to their event where prospective artists can get a brief history of the art form, go over tips and tricks for quickly and effectively transferring an original work to concrete, and have any questions answered about the event in advance. Artists who choose to participate receive complimentary lunch and a box of 64 high-quality pastels that they keep after the event. Event organizers have put together a juried exhibition after completion where the participants are judged according to pre-set criteria, and awards are given based on best of show, use of medium, most creative, and first through third place. People viewing the art are also allowed to vote on their favorite with the most popular artwork given the people’s choice award. Frequently, families arrive at the free community festival, and their children are so eager and excited for the event, that they want to participate as well. For this reason, the Bartlett Arts Council has a dedicated KIDS KORNER in the courtyard for the very young artists—those who are too young to officially participate in the event. Money for the event is raised through sponsorship of the spaces by local businesses and corporate partners who receive advertising and a photograph copy of the artist’s work upon completion of the event. Bartlett Arts Council President, Lisa Johnson, shares her enthusiasm for the increasingly popular event for both artists and attendees: “All art forms are very important to every community by keeping the arts alive for every generation to enjoy and pass on, but, for me personally, it is the excitement to watch how creative each individual makes their idea come to life!”

hen the inaugural class of Leadership Bartlett undertook the monumental task of getting a performing arts center built in Bartlett, little did they know just how much impact their actions would have on the entire Bartlett area for many years to come. Although the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center has had an enormous influence on Bartlett and its livability appeal for residents, another lesser-known benefit came from the project. What started out as just a small piece to a big plan has now become a vital part of the Bartlett art community: the Bartlett Community Concert Band. Even though in the early 1990s the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center (BPACC) had been on the books for the city to build for years, the project was underfunded. With the promise of having only a few shows a year at the new facility, city officials could not approve funding for the enormous project without a more elaborate and sustainable schedule planned. Leadership Bartlett, along with a newly-formed cultural arts committee of the
The Bartlett Community Concert Band

Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce, planned various uses for the proposed facility, including a Bartlett Community Chorus, a kids’ chorus, a children’s theatre, an adult drama group, a Renaissance fair, and more. Through the planning and foresight of this committee, the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center was able to Conductor Dr. Rhendle Millen come to fruition. The Memphis Arts Council gave funding for the Bartlett Community Chorus, and then in the second year (1991) for a concert band. Now, over 20 years later, three of the original members still play in the Bartlett Community Concert Band. Although the band was not included as one of the original ideas for using space at BPACC, the concert band has certainly been the most successful in terms of participation and longevity. “We bring something to Bartlett that other cities don’t have,” says Bartlett Community Concert Band President Chris Thorne. “We’re happy we have the Bartlett name and love promoting the city.” The Bartlett Community Concert Band has grown to 90 members and plays more concerts than any other community concert band in the country. Unlike most community bands who play only a handful of concerts per year, the Bartlett Community Concert Band plays over 20 concerts per year.

“The band is a really good ambassador for the city,” says one of the band’s founders who is still playing with the band almost 24 years later, David Skelton. “It’s not a chore. Everybody loves playing and looks forward to coming.” Many people throughout not only the Memphis area but also in Bartlett proper do not realize that the band is available to play for events throughout the year, including at venues outside of Bartlett. Their extensive concerts range from playing at BPACC to the Bartlett Festival to the Pigeon Estate’s 4th of July Celebration to the Veteran’s Day Ceremony at Memphis National Cemetery.
the flexibility of schedules, not having to live in Bartlett to be a member, and having a built-in family with the band. “It’s an immediate place of belonging and fellowship. We all just love to play music,” says band member Skelton. Because the band members are all volunteers, the organization understands that people have lives other than the community band. In order to play an event, they must have a full band—usually anywhere from 40 to 70 of the 90 total members participate in any given concert, depending on members’ schedules. The only stipulation they ask of their members is that if members commit to play in a concert, they must follow
Members of the Bartlett Community Concert band range from middle-school age all the way up to 78- years-young; they live from Arkansas to Mississippi to Collierville to Bartlett. All of the band’s members are volunteers who pay the nominal fee of $40 per year to be part of the group. The annual fee covers the cost of buying music and paying the conductor, Dr. Rhendle Millen. Millen, who is a Doctor of Musical Arts, conducts, teaches, and serves as Chair of the Performing Arts department at St. Mary’s Episcopal School for Girls in Memphis. “The band is a great opportunity for people who got away from playing music but who still enjoy it and just want to continue,” says President Thorne. “It’s a great organization with great people.” While love of music is the key reason members of the band keep coming back year after year, many other features appeal to band members. These include
through on the obligation to the organization and to the community. Member David Wiemar, owner of Wiemar’s Jewelry, has been playing with the band for about 10 years and loves the band because “it does something for the community. People in the community recognize people in the band. We all have folks in the audience who know us and are happy to see us.” Wiemar, who is known in the Bartlett area for not only his community involvement but also for his sense of humor, jokes, “It also gives me an opportunity to blow my own horn.” The band members pride themselves on being a dynamic group of musicians who welcome participants of all ages and skill levels. Members include teachers, businessmen and women, professionals in medicine and law, busy full-time homemakers, community leaders, retirees, and middle and high school students. And they don’t require auditions.
“You just have to want to play,” says Wiemar. If you’re interested in joining, the Bartlett Community Concert Band invites you to come ready to play at their rehearsals each Monday at Whitten Memorial Baptist Church from 7-9pm.

school. He was a great one—a national gymnastics champion, to be exact. In 1947 and 1948, he won first place in the US gymnastics all-around competition. However, in order to finish his degree in Beaux Arts School of Architectural Design from the University of Illinois, Tom gave up gymnastics and married his first wife, Nona. After working for the Corps of Engineers and starting his family—which would one day include eight children and 34 grandchildren—he was recruited to Chicago to work for Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill (SOM). At the time, SOM was the largest architectural firm in the world and built the highest building in the world in Dubai. In 1961, a Memphis architect named A.L. Ayedelott flew to Chicago to recruit for his newest project, the VA Hospital. He came across Tom’s resume that happened to still be on file with an employment agency years later and immediately loved Tom’s Parke Davis window drawings. Renowned for bringing modern architecture to Memphis, Ayedelott also became the man

A twin from Illinois, Tom was not just an athlete in high
responsible for bringing Tom to Memphis. Ayedelott quickly put him in charge of the production and working drawings of the hospital (a 6-year project), and so began Tom’s mark on the Memphis architectural landscape. “I came here at the right time,” comments Tom. “When I got here, Memphis was on the move.” Later, Tom worked with Trammell Crow, designing and managing numerous projects in the Memphis area, including the J.M. Smucker Co. Plant and the Nike Shoe Distribution Center. Tom placed his design signature into these projects by incorporating the office function outside the plant, as well as by placing circular parking around the street corners. Eventually, he owned and operated his own architectural firm, Total Planning & Architecture, Inc. (continued on p. 13) 11

Tom’s design influence has touched over 80 buildings and numerous parks in the Memphis area throughout his 35+ year architectural career. Some of his many noteworthy buildings included the two Nike facilities, Disney Distribution Buildings, the Navy Mess Hall in Millington, Willow Lake Business Park, Bartlett Shopping Center, and Wolfchase Animal Hospital—the last building he designed, fittingly in the city he loves, Bartlett. However, the many facets of his artistic talent—watch and clock designer, jewelry designer, and painter—didn’t become apparent to Tom until later in life. Coincidentally, he also found his true love later in life, his second wife, Anita. After retiring, Tom began a second career that has established him in the Bartlett community in his true artistic passion: painting. “I just want to paint,” says Tom. After studying watercolor at the Memphis College of Art, Tom now

paints local scenes, buildings, and businesses. As a watercolor, mixed media, and color pastel artist, Tom has had his artwork displayed at Bartlett Performing Arts & Conference Center and currently at the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce. Perusing the display of Tom’s artwork at the chamber alone, you’ll see extraordinary depictions of the Gotten House, Cedar Hall, Veteran’s Park, Side Porch Steak House, Wiemar’s Jewelry, Bartlett High School, Bartlett United Methodist Church, Bartlett Station, and more. One of his special talents is his ability to capture the essence of Bartlett and its businesses. David Wiemar, owner of Wiemar’s Jewelry, is one of Tom’s biggest supporters. Not only did he commission Tom to paint an original of his store, but he also sells many of Tom’s other paintings in Wiemar’s Jewelry. “Tom is a talented artist, and I like his paintings even more because I know Tom and Anita,” says Wiemar. Once you meet Tom, you’ll agree with Wiemar. Tom has a personality that is like a hidden gem—once you find it, you want to treasure it forever. Tom’s love, enthusiasm, and passion for his artwork and for his loving wife, Anita, is something to be admired. It is rare. When having a conversation with Tom, you want to hear the complete Story of Tom. It’s a great story told in an interesting way by an extraordinary
man. While this article may touch on a few of the facets of his life, the best way to hear the Story of Tom is from Tom himself. It’s remarkable, and he’ll make you smile the entire time. All of Tom’s art is available for sale, and he can be commissioned to paint businesses, landscapes, churches, homes, or just about anything else—“while I still have time,” jokes an 86-year-young Tom.

A Letter From
I t has been my honor and prIvIlege to serve this great city. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you for four more. We have so much to be proud of in Bartlett. We have been recognized in so many top 10 lists this year—safety, jobs, and places to live, just to name a few. In addition, we now have our own Bartlett City Schools. So many of us have multigenerational families in our city—families that have put down deep roots. We have young families coming to Bartlett to start their new households and great new senior-living facilities. We have a rich culture with parks and bikeways that have drawn regional attention. Our Public Safety Employees make us feel safe. Our Public Works Department keeps our pride high for our cleanliness and beauty. I get so many compliments on our Sanitation group. We have a very intimate theatre that brings in great talent from around the world. Our Children’s Theatre productions pack the house and teach a lot of self-value and talent. We have great jobs in so many areas—medical device manufacturers, Brother International, Brim’s Snack Foods, Kele, and the list goes on and on. I brought my family here about 40 years ago, and now I have grandchildren in some of the same schools my children went to. This is a great city and I love it! Don’t you?

ith two seasons successfully completed, the Bartlett Station Commission is in full swing for a trilogy. Planning has begun to take place as members from the City of Bartlett’s Bartlett Station Commission look to build on the huge success from the first two seasons. The original motive was to highlight all the wonderful amenities and businesses the Bartlett Station area of Bartlett has to offer, all while giving the citizens of Bartlett a fun outlet for their families. (Bartlett Station is the area along Stage Road from just east of Bartlett Boulevard to the city limits heading west down Stage Road.) The idea quickly formed to offer an outdoor summer movie series— something that had not been done in the city on this scale. Through this project, the Bartlett Station Commission hoped to address the core issues behind their purpose— to showcase downtown Bartlett, strengthen businesses in Bartlett Station, and attract families to the area. With the idea of starting small and building from there, the decision was made to set up inside W. J. Freeman Park, which is within the Bartlett Station area, and to provide a high-quality sound system and a screen big enough to view the movie. The plan wasn’t much more than that.

A Rising Star
“The city is open to fresh ideas that will allow for new and interesting events for people who live in Bartlett and beyond,” said Brooks McDonald, commission and planning committee member. “We were trying to highlight our city to our citizens but also to those around us as well.” As each movie season has passed, the season has gotten longer. The first series premiered with three movies which opened with A Night at the Museum

followed by the animated children’s film Horton Hears a Who and ending with an online community Facebook contest. The public had five action movies on which to vote, with the movie receiving the most “likes” being shown on the third and final night of Movies in the Park. Ultimately, the citizens chose Independence Day. Through social media and newspaper ads, the project was able to reach out to the Bartlett area and build awareness and excitement. “I remember the feeling of excitement in the air that first night,” said Jason Sykes, Bartlett Station Commissioner and project lead for Movies in the Park. “It’s one thing to have an idea, but seeing it through is what really matters. It was great to see so many families come together and experience part of what the Bartlett Station area has to offer—plus enjoy a free family-friendly event. It was a great experience.” The Movies in the Park project opened up with a crowd of 300 and grew to its largest crowd of 1600. The sun began to set, and the crowd anxiously waited as the first movie night got underway. As the night went on and darkness settled in, the stars made the night feel especially magical. The second season expanded to five movie nights, showing the following movies: Monsters, Inc.; Frozen; Ever After; The Sandlot; and The Incredibles. After finishing up the second season (April-July 2014), it was clear that a star project was on the rise. “As the momentum continues to build for Movies in the Park, it is obvious that the community loved the idea of a fun,
free event that the entire family can enjoy,” said Sykes. “The response from the very beginning was extremely positive and well received.” As it turned out, the business community is very receptive to the idea as well. The Bartlett Station Commission members have developed a marketing and sponsorship strategy and have actively worked to solicit local businesses to partner with the project. As a result, Bartlett Movies in the Park was 100% funded by the local business community, thus making it free to the public. A huge thank you is due to these companies for bearing the financial burden of this popular event. The Bartlett Station Commission also added several food trucks to the line-up for the second season, and movie goers had the option of purchasing kettle corn, frozen treats, or carnival food to enjoy during the movies. The group is in discussions to continue to expand for the third season and make it even bigger and more interactive. The target dates for the third season are for Spring of 2015.

Saint Francis HospitalBartlett Celebrating Ten Years of Service, Advancements, and Community Involvement 6,781 births. 486,347 outpatient visits. 284,930 emergency room visits. 51,884 admissions. Those numbers give you a feel for the impact Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett has had on the community since the hospital’s doors opened to the public ten years ago. At the time, Bartlett was the largest city in Tennessee not to have its own hospital. “There are some services that are key to having a vibrant city,” said Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald. “Good schools, safe neighborhoods, and quality medical services are high on that list. We fought hard to get Saint Francis Hospital in Bartlett, and we are so pleased with the level of services they have provided. I believe that their services and quality staff will only expand and improve in the years to come.” “There is a special relationship between our hospital and the community,” said Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett chief executive officer Jeremy Clark. “The City of Bartlett fought to get this hospital approved and built. As a result, when we opened, we had 19
Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett CEO Jeremy Clark
outstanding community support which continues to this day. That support motivates us to provide Bartlett and the surrounding area with high-quality healthcare.” Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett has changed significantly over the past decade. The facility originally held 90 beds, but a recent expansion has increased the bed count to 196 and added more than 100,000 square feet to the hospital’s footprint. Additional improvements to the hospital include the expansion and remodeling of the emergency room, as well as the construction of a freestanding diagnostic imaging center. “The physical growth of the hospital has been amazing,” said Clark. “That being said, the maturation of our hospital’s services is the most exciting thing to me. We want to be able to provide area residents with the care they need in their community.” Expansion of service lines has occurred in areas such as surgery. Just three years ago, spine surgeries were not performed at the hospital. In contrast, more than 200 spine surgeries were performed at the hospital in 2014. Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett also recently began a robotic surgery program. This type of surgery can result in less blood loss, less pain, and a quicker recovery for the patient. In 2014 Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett initiated their STEMI program, allowing patients who experience the most serious type of heart attack to be treated at the hospital. The hospital has also received chest pain center accreditation from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care, Primary Stroke Center certification from the Joint Commission, and an “A” Hospital Safety Score from the Leapfrog Group.

“Ten years old is still a very young age for hospitals,” said Clark. “We have certainly grown up quickly by providing a wide variety of services to the community. However, providing these services is just one part of the equation. We also know we have to deliver exceptional care.” The leadership of Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett believes that the hospital must go beyond providing high-quality healthcare; they must also focus on being a good corporate citizen. In addition to lending financial support to numerous nonprofit organizations, several of the hospital’s staff members show their commitment to the community by volunteering their time to programs and groups needing assistance. It was this spirit of giving back to the community that made the decision to celebrate the hospital’s 10th anniversary with the public an easy one. “We wanted to celebrate this occasion with the community as a way of letting them know how much we appreciate their support over the past ten years,” said Jane Garrett, Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett director of community outreach. “That’s why we held a free community carnival, complete with rides, games, prizes, music and a festive atmosphere. It was a great experience interacting with our past, present, and future patients while reflecting on what an amazing ten years this has been!” “Not only has Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett provided a much-needed service to the area and created many jobs since opening ten years ago, but the hospital also continues to play a significant part in helping to build
a better community,” said John Threadgill, Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce president. “Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett plays an active role in numerous community-related activities, from the Bartlett Kids Triathlon to Chalk the Walk. Their commitment to the community’s long-term health and prosperity could not be better exhibited than in their leadership position in the Bartlett Area Chamber’s Economic Development Vision 20/20 program. Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett is a true corporate citizen and continues to be a true asset to the entire area in many ways.”

PARK
ig things are happening at Shelby Farms Park! Major improvements are underway that will give rise to an iconic Heart of the Park that will offer more adventures, healthier ecology and a lot more to love. Heart of the Park is a visionary reimagining of Patriot Lake – a well-loved but ecologically dysfunctional lake at the center of the Park. Patriot Lake came from humble beginnings—it was created when dirt was needed to cap a nearby landfill. Environmental sustainability is at the heart of everything that Shelby Farms Park Conservancy (SFPC) does, and the innovative urban landscape design plans for both ecological and recreational improvements to the lake. Patriot Lake will grow from 55 to about 80 acres. The newly expanded lake will address and correct critical ecological issues, including erosion, and the watershed will be improved as well. A bio-based liner will line the lake bottom, and native wetland vegetation will be planted along the lake’s edge to restore and revitalize ecosystems around the newly expanded lake. The watershed around the lake will also be improved, growing BARTLETT
INSIGHTS
from a land-to-lake ratio of 4:1 to 7:1. Heart of the Park will feature more than 3,000 new, native trees, and will restore native grasses and meadows around the lake.
MORE LAKE (AND AMENITIES) TO LOVE A bigger, healthier lake will offer more lake to love in many ways. The open water and new boat kiosk will offer ample opportunities for paddling and sailing. The new Visitor Center and Restaurant + Retreat Center will be constructed to meet LEED standards. The Visitor Center will include educational space, a gift shop, rooftop solar panels and a big front porch where visitors can enjoy scenic views of the lake. The Restaurant + Retreat Center will feature a signature “farm-to-table” restaurant on the eastern edge of Heart of the Park, offering a dramatic view of the expanded lake. A new promenade and bike path will circle the lake, and an innovative Wetland Walk will offer new educational opportunities for visitors. Children will enjoy a new water play area and will enjoy exploring the quiet forest walk on the south side of the lake, which will feature wet-footed trees. (continued on p. 30)
(continued from p. 28)
A PARK THAT’S BIG ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY, ALL THE TIME One of the greatest things about America’s biggest urban park is the number of ways visitors can enjoy the Park. While the Heart of the Park enhancements are going on, there are still plenty of ways to play at Shelby Farms Park, from horseback riding to exploring The Outback OffLeash Dog Park to going on an adventure in the Woodland Discovery Playground to fishing in one of the 20+ bodies of water found within the Park to running, biking or walking more than 40 miles of trails. In addition to the everyday activities that the Park offers, Shelby Farms Park Conservancy hosts several signature events throughout the year. An annual favorite is Orion Starry Nights – the largest holiday light show and festival in the Mid-South. More than two million lights illuminate the Park each night of the show, and guests can meet Santa, ride camels and more in Magical Mistletoe Village. In the past year, SFPC launched three new events: Spooky Nights, Dog-A-Roo Festival and Splash + Splatter. Spooky Nights is a Halloween-themed event that features the only haunted trail in Memphis, zombie paintball hayrides, nocturnal nature hikes and more. The Dog-A-Roo Festival is a paw-esome, one-day event held in the spring that brings dogs, their owners and pet experts from all over the Mid-South together for a day of fun in The Outback Off-Leash Dog Park. Dog-A-Roo features a

canine costume contest, an agility course and pup-friendly businesses and organizations. Splash + Splatter is a water play festival that offers Park visitors a chance to beat the summer heat.

Each event that SFPC produces helps raise critical funds that help keep Shelby Farms Park and Greenline clean, green and safe.
SUPPORT YOUR PARK How can you give back to the Park that gives you so much? There are plenty of options! Attending SFPCproduced events is a great start, but if you want to make a bigger impact, becoming a Park Member will help provide year-round support for the trails, lakes and green spaces you love. Park Members can join as individuals or as families, and all members receive Park Perks including discounts on Starry Nights tickets and discounts at more than two dozen local businesses. The Park belongs to you. Shouldn’t you belong to the Park? Volunteering is another option for giving back. Did you know that SFPC logged more than 30,000 hours of volunteer service in the past year? Taking care of America’s biggest urban park is a big job! Volunteer opportunities are available for individuals and groups, and are offered as one-time events and long-term opportunities.

A
Patriotic Tradition in Cordova BARTLETT
INSIGHTS
By Emilee Lewis
T
he town of Cordova, once a farming community with fewer than 200 residents, now boasts a population close to 60,000. The days of dirt trails and cotton fields are long gone, but every year on July 4th, Cordova returns to its small-town roots with a patriotic parade. Other towns have abandoned the tradition for more elaborate fireworks shows, but for Cordova residents, the parade is a valued custom that they hope to continue for years to come. Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell, who was the Grand Marshall at the 2014 Independence Day Celebration and Parade and is also a Cordova resident himself, commented, “The July 4th parade gives the Cordova community the opportunity to demonstrate its pride within the community and reaffirm their faith in the values of America.� Mayor Luttrell rode in the parade with his wife, Pat, and his grandson, Grant Terrell Luttrell. Carl Coker, a 93-year-old Bartlett resident, was recognized in the 2014 parade as the Veteran of Honor for his service as a Marine during World War II. Coker, who enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1941 just a few weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, fought in
several major battles, as well as in the Korean War. Antique cars, horses, and wagons decked out in red, white, and blue pass patriotic spectators who wave their flags to the sound of music as children collect candy thrown by parade participants. The parade procession takes place on Sanga Road across from the Cordova Community Center, which has its own special history. The building was originally constructed in 1913 as Cordova School and now is home to the Cordova Museum with memorabilia from the days before fields were turned into subdivisions. The building is listed on the Tennessee and National Register of Historic Places. After the parade, prizes are awarded for the Best Child in Costume; Best Decorated Bicycle, Tricycle, or Pet; Best Decorated Float, Wagon, or Horse; Best Decorated Motorized Vehicle; Best Overall Children’s Entry; and Best Overall Adult Entry. The original motto of the town – “Farms, Flowers, Fellowship” – seems especially relevant at the annual Fourth of July parade. When groups of friends and families gather to celebrate the country’s birthday among the original buildings of the historic town, the scene is idyllic: neighbors talking to neighbors, elected officials meeting their constituents, and Cordova exuding the small-town charm that is so often lost in modern suburbs.

An Interview with Superintendent Stephens
By Krista Antonuk
Building A Foundation
B
uild a great foundation. That statement is true for homes, businesses, and the new Bartlett City Schools (BCS) in the eyes of Superintendent David Stephens. He calls this foundation the “Bartlett City Schools Four Cornerstones for Success.” Stephens, father of two and long-time resident of Bartlett, moved to Bartlett 14 years ago in order for his son to be able to attend Altruria Elementary. He always felt that the one missing piece to truly putting Bartlett on the map for being a destination community was having its own school system, so when BCS needed a superintendent to lead the new schools, it was an easy decision for Stephens to apply. “Bartlett is home,” says Stephens. “I live where I live so that my son could go to Altruria. I have two kids now in Bartlett City Schools. I think the future is bright, and there’s no place I’d rather be than with all of the great people I get to be around every day.” It’s this passion, dedication, and enthusiasm that is the driving force for Stephens’ goal of ensuring that Bartlett has safe, great, innovative schools moving forward. Research shows the most significant school-determined
factor in student achievement is having highly-effective teachers. Therefore, when preparing to launch its own school system, it was the logical starting point for BCS to start with having the right teachers when beginning to build the school system’s foundation. “We have to have the best and the brightest,” says Stephens. They focused—and still focus—on the strategic recruitment of the best teachers. With a strong teaching staff in place to start the 2014-2105 school year, Stephens said they then began focusing on how to retain and further
Because of an archaic state law, a moratorium had been placed on the formation of new school systems for over three decades. Municipalities which had experienced dramatic growth in the 1980s were forbidden to establish their own school systems in Tennessee. That law was overturned in 2013, and the City of Bartlett took full advantage of creating its own destiny in educating its youth.

Kasandra Berry, Principal at Bon Lin Elementary for 5 years, expressed her enthusiasm for the new school system. “Being a part of Bartlett City Schools is a unique opportunity for us all to work together to provide a high quality education for our community. We are large enough to provide quality programs, and yet small enough to be a close family. I am proud to be the principal of Bon Lin Elementary and am looking forward to watching BCS become the very best school district in Tennessee (maybe the country)!” Stephens’ third cornerstone for a strong foundation is to have a supportive and efficient administrative central office - Alexa Pangonas, 8th Grader and President of staff who ensures that principals Bon Lin Middle School Student Council and teachers have what they need to be successful. “We have a very strong school board. They’re not in it to be political. develop those teachers’ academic, professional, and softThey believe in Bartlett and in public education. They are leadership skills—how they can effectively communicate to smart and are committed to making our schools in Bartlett students—in future years. strong.” The largest factor, though, in retaining good teachers is The last cornerstone to the foundation is strong parent to have good leadership in the buildings—the principals. and community support. Parents and local businesses have “We are very fortunate to have an experienced principal been very supportive of the schools but Stephens wants core. All of our principals stayed, and they have many to extend those relationships further to see how they can years of experience.”
“i believe it was a great idea to have our own school system! as the President of Bon Lin Middle School, i believe the leaders of Bartlett will make good decisions on how to make our schools the best they can be for us kids. We will then have a better chance at college success. as someone who was on the Mayor’s Youth council last year, i learned about our government systems, and i understand it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make this all happen. Like our motto says, we are ‘all in!’ i am proud to live in Bartlett.”

“Bartlett city Schools has truly been a breath of fresh air. Local control of education provides the teachers, parents and students with the opportunity to have their voices heard. Superintendent Stephens and the Board of education members have certainly been responsive to my suggestions and concerns. i am optimistic that we have a community dedicated to providing our children with a rigorous, high quality education.” - Derek Venckus, Parent of Two Children in Bartlett City Schools
leverage local businesses and partner with them to better serve students and the community. Stephens believes that BCS is a prime candidate for a huge STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) thread from elementary through high school. With a large biotech industry including medical devices in the area, Stephens is looking for ways to partner for internships and externships to help students excel by not only keeping jobs in the area but also by keeping people who are vested in Bartlett in the area to raise their families to build the community. One of the initiatives that makes the new Bartlett City School System so unique is that Stephens implemented the Bartlett Freshman Academy. The reasoning was two-fold: 1) Academic Benefit many freshmen struggle and don’t have the foundation to attend, behave, study, and in general, be prepared to succeed in high school due to the change in environment and expectations. 2) Operational Benefit—When BCS settled with Shelby County Schools, they received all of the buildings but didn’t keep all of the students. They only had enough students for three—not four—middle school campuses in order to still be able to offer all of the programs to all of the schools. On the other hand, they looked at the potential that Bartlett High School could have an enormous student population of over 3,000 students if they kept it 9th through 12th grades. Fortunately, making the decision to have the Freshman Academy was both an educational win and an operational win. Although the Freshman Academy was one of the biggest challenges when forming the new school system since it was a new concept to Bartlett, because of the teachers who love
instructing freshmen and extra counseling and other programs that were put in to place specifically at the Freshman Academy, the school has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from teachers, kids, parents, and the community. “We want there to be a bridge for students,” says Stephens when referring to the transition from middle school to high school. While keeping their own identity at the Freshman Academy, BCS keeps freshmen engaged at the high school level in various ways including letting them be part of the pep rallies at the high school. By having the Freshman Academy and the additional support for that transition year from middle school to high school, Stephens is striving to have all of the class of 2018 students graduate. Stephens believes that overall for BCS, a key to success is local control. “I’m fortunate to be a superintendent who can interact directly with schools to make an impact.” Stephens holds a district meeting every week with the principals and frequently has conversations with all of the principals. With only 11 schools, Stephens said it’s possible for him to even visit all of the schools in one day—as he and Bartlett City School Board Chairman, Jeff Norris, did on the first day of school. “Size does make a difference on the impact you can make. We’re big enough relative to other school systems but are small enough to be able to take a more hands-on approach and stay more connected to the individual schools.” With the new school system in place and the first school year underway, Stephens and the BCS Board will focus on continuous improvement and implementing their strategic plan to
position the students and Bartlett City Schools for a successful future. “It’s people not programs. That’s always our focus—people who love our community and love our kids,” concludes Stephens. “We have great schools with great principals in a safe, great community. Bartlett has good people who are committed to the kids and to the community. It has a small town feel but is a big city.”

The Critical Role of the
Bartlett Education Foundation By Jason Sykes
~ President
of the
Bartlett education foundation
W
ith the educational landscape in Bartlett having changed over the last year, the Bartlett Education Foundation has a renewed sense of energy and purpose as it moves forward in supporting the new Bartlett City Schools. The Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce created the Bartlett Education Foundation in 1998 because of administrators voicing concerns about teachers not having enough money for special student-related projects. Chamber members recognized the financial deficit and the importance of supporting teachers in their quest to provide the best education for local students; as a result, the Bartlett Education Foundation was formed to help address this significant funding issue. At the time, the foundation’s mission was to promote academic excellence in Shelby County Schools within the Bartlett area by providing educational opportunities over and above those provided by the regular school budget. While the focus of the Bartlett Education Foundation still remains to promote academic excellence, efforts have now shifted to specifically support the newly-formed Bartlett City Schools. With this new school system, the Bartlett Education Foundation will play an expanded critical role. The foundation’s seasoned and energetic Board of Directors has worked continuously alongside the Bartlett City School district and the Bartlett City School Board to promote and support the district, the teachers and staff, and the many value-added programs and learning initiatives throughout the district. The foundation has also focused on engaging the community and parents. “We see this board as the go-to organization for all things Bartlett schools-related,” said Jason Sykes, president of the Bartlett Education Foundation. “Our charge as we partner with our district superintendent BARTLETT
INSiGHtS
and the administration is to identify areas of need and then work to make a positive difference in that area. One of the biggest needs is to engage the business community and individuals to rally support for our schools.” One of the single largest projects that the Bartlett Education Foundation funds is the annual teacher grant program, available to all teachers in the Bartlett City School District. These application-based grants are intended to carry out innovative projects that enrich the standard curriculum in ways that directly affect students’ day-to-day classroom experiences, as well as to improve the education system as a whole. Since its formation, the Bartlett Education Foundation has awarded over $140,000 directly to the teacher grant program to fund such projects. In order to be able to provide significant funding for these grants, though, the Bartlett Education Foundation is tasked with raising all of the money—the foundation’s entire income—through fundraising projects, as well as through business sponsorships and individual donations. Recent fundraisers throughout the year have included a dinner, an art show, balloon rides at the Bartlett Festival, and school-based projects. Due to the increased demand (continued on p. 40)

Bank of Bartlett: Making Dreams Come True
I
ncorporated in the City of Bartlett by local investors and opened for business in 1980, Bank of Bartlett attributes much of its success to its involvement in area churches, schools, and charitable organizations. Bank of Bartlett has grown rapidly to become one of the largest community banks in the Memphis market, and is among the top 30 banks in Tennessee. Bartlett Mortgage, a subsidiary opened in 1983, has made home dreams come true by nancing over 40,000 homes in the metro area and consistently ranks among the top mortgage companies yearly in home loans originated. Bartlett Travel opened in 1987 as another subsidiary of Bank of Bartlett and provides quality travel arrangements for its clients in the metro area. uality, friendly, and responsive customer service helps our clientele “feel at home.” That—along with “making nancial opportunities happen” for our customers—has been the key driving force for the bank’s growth and expansion to eight strategic locations within the adjacent metropolitan area.

all area algreens, at the airport, and in other key metro locations.

Student Feedback The Making of A Good School
E
veryone wants their kids to go to a “good” school. But what makes a good school? The community, parents, teachers, principals, and administrators all have opinions. Fifth grader Charlie at Bon Lin Elementary comments, “I like how the rules keep us safe. Even though there’s a lot of them, we have fun!” Elementary school isn’t what it used to be. As parents, we think back to how it was when we were kids. We’re not our grandparents, telling far-fetched stories about walking to school uphill both ways in the snow, but we do say, “It wasn’t like that when we were kids” and maybe that’s a really good thing. We were seldomly asked for our opinions or suggestions and were rarely, if ever, able to make changes or given a reason about why an idea wasn’t feasible. The view not so long ago was that adults knew best. But times have changed. Now, kids’ ideas are valued and even instrumental in making improvements to keep the schools in Bartlett a place where students and teachers not only learn but also enjoy being for a large portion of their weekdays. Both kids and teachers are happier and more vested in their school if they feel ownership in the improvement and quality of their environment. BARTLETT
INSiGHtS
At Bon Lin Elementary, Principal Kasandra Berry holds monthly student advisory council meetings with two students from each grade level. The students rotate each month to represent the various homerooms and advise Berry about what can be improved at the school and why (based on suggestions from their respective grade-level peers). “I began the student advisory council five years ago when I became principal of Bon Lin Elementary,” says Berry. “I thought it would be a great way for the students’ voices to be heard and to teach them about leadership.” Getting both positive and critical student feedback are of utmost importance to Berry in order to keep the school focused on what is working well and to improve in areas that may not have been considered before. Not only is Berry interested in the ideas and the reasoning behind them, but she then asks the group for possible solutions to the problems. Berry acknowledges that some of the ideas can be implemented immediately, such as getting out more balls to play with during recess; some may be long-term projects Photos by Marc Burford
like installing electronic hand dryers; some may need to be researched to see if a solution is possible, as is the case with the suggestion to avoid having middle school buses come during recess (which pauses the playtime of the elementary students); and, some may not be possible at all, such as installing a swimming pool at the school. Principal Berry reports back to the students at the next month’s meeting on the status of ideas that can be implemented and the timeframe needed to complete each project. If an idea isn’t possible, Berry lets the students know at the next month’s meeting why it can’t be done. It might be due to monetary or safety concerns, such as the case with the swimming pool. But when fourth grader Trinity brought up her concern that it’s frustrating for the students and the teacher when the promethium board freezes and needs to be reset, Berry explained onthe-spot, in terms the students could understand, that with great new technology also comes minor difficulties. With so many schools and classrooms running off of a central server, there will be times that technology will delay or need a reset. Trinity immediately understood. “Sometimes we just have to deal with it.” Bon Lin Elementary School has been able to implement many past ideas suggested by the student advisory council. Some of the major projects have included a covered awning for the pickup and drop-off car line, playground equipment, painted bathroom doors, 5th grade basketball teams, a 5th grade dance, healthier food
options, electronic hand dryers, kindness projects and a long list of other minor projects. All of the students selected for the advisory council take their role seriously. Many bring written lists with numerous concerns to voice to Berry. At the first meeting of the 2014-2015 school year, ideas ranged from having additional healthy food choices available to fixing a crack in the parking lot to trying to stop bullying. The students like being a part of the process and taking ownership of their school. By seeing that some of their ideas will possibly be implemented, the kids are excited to obtain more feedback from their peers. One of the most invigorating aspects of the council meetings occurs when Berry asks all of the kids to report on what they like about their school. The students and Berry light up with school pride as they express how they love the new colored hallways, the number of clubs available, the neat computer labs, and that “all the adults and kids are friendly.” “This is a great school,” says second grader, Breann. “It has so much fun stuff.” Bon Lin Elementary School is one of the many great schools in the new 11-school Bartlett City Schools because of innovative ideas like the student advisory council which allows students to take ownership in the quality of their school. Having a leadership team that is willing to listen and make changes is vital to foster positive attitudes and a constructive atmosphere in the making of a good school.

inancial institutions consistently score near the bottom of all organizations when it comes to customer satisfaction. As a credit union, we’re proud of the fact that, on average, we do score a little better than our bank friends. owever, a little better than worst is not good enough for our standards. If there is one truth that the 2008 recession taught all of us, it’s that nancial services is an industry that could use some heavy-duty housecleaning. Between the TAR bailout and Bank Transfer Day, banks and credit unions nationwide were scrambling to protect what we all hold most dear: our shareholders. The major difference: who our shareholder is. At Leaders Credit nion, our customer and shareholder are one and the same. Since we are a not-for-pro t entity, our memberships’ demands dictate how we operate, and that makes banking with us much more consumer-friendly.
ur mantra of “Investing in each other. ” is much more than marketing uff it’s a reminder of our call-to-action. The money we lend for auto, home, and personal loans comes directly from our member deposits, and that’s how we keep loan rates low and savings rates high. The cooperative model is something we’re very proud of, and we celebrate it daily. ur members have clearly taken notice. Since we began collecting ratings and reviews in early 2014 on our website (www.leader c .com), over 400 reviews have been written, and we boast an average rating of 4.8 out of stars. ur score isn’t passed down from some distant ranking bureau or paid vendor. It’s determined by those good people who use our products and services every day, and we’re proud to say that they love their Credit nion. Add to those favorable reviews our recognition in 2014 by DepositAccounts.com as the 38th ealthiest Credit nion in America, and you have a consensus winner. (That recognition places us among the top 0. in nancial performance nationwide.) So, our question is simple: do you consider your banking experience to be -star hat do people say about your bank If you’re not sure of the answer to either question, maybe it’s time to try investing in each other. eader red t n on located at mmer a r e n artlett. e er e t e nanc al need o c t en n t e em metro ol tan area n t e eld o ealt care ed cat on and comm n cat on a well a em loyee o o er trate c em loyer artner . or more n ormat on abo t ow yo or yo r b ne can o n eader red t n on lea e t leader c .com a ly or call . . .

Runners Club Much More Than Running
N
o one would deny that physical activity improves overall health. In an age when fitness is a fad, the solution to losing weight and staying healthy is exercise. Outlets for exercise are endless, with online tutorials, physical fitness classes and gyms all advertising the secret to buff biceps and abdominals of steel. But does this modern focus on fitness appreciate all the benefits physical exercise offers Paul Ireland, otherwise known as “Spunky,” began running at age 30 to get in shape. He felt the benefits of running and noticed that they were not solely physical. Running was keeping him fit, but it was also strengthening him mentally and emotionally. He had found a new healthy hobby for himself, but he had no idea it would turn into a constructive program for the young people of Youth Villages, a nonprofit organization helping children with emotional and behavioral problems. Ireland had previously served as an auxiliary officer for the Memphis and Shelby County Juvenile Court and had worked with troubled youth struggling with issues through additional outlets. When a Youth Villages’ employee asked for his help on how to train Youth Villages youth for a race, Ireland enjoyed the task. Merging his work experience with his newfound hobby, he began to consider running as a possible means of therapy for the struggling youth in his community. With this idea, he became the founder and leader of Youth Villages’ Runners Club. With its national headquarters in Bartlett, Youth Villages helps children and their families live successfully. The organization utilizes a variety of programs, including in-home services, residential treatment, foster care and adoption, mentoring, and transitional living. Youth Villages serves more than 22,000 children and their families nationwide each year. Runners Club takes place at the Bartlett and Dogwood residential campuses in the Memphis-area. The youth who live on campus are boys and girls with serious to severe emotional and behavioral problems combined with other needs. Many have been physically, mentally, or sexually abused, neglected, or experienced household issues that
have required separation from their families. The goal of residential treatment is to return children to a less restrictive environment and to continue their progress through intensive in-home services, with their family when safely possible, or through therapeutic foster care when it is not. The youth of Bartlett campus live in on-campus cottages. They come out to Runners Club one cottage at a time and are allowed enough time to run or walk at least one mile. When youth participate in the Runners Club, they strive to reach their own personal goals, one mile at a time. When they reach certain mileage goals, they earn a (continued on p. 49) 47

Moving Our Community Toward First-class Spine Care
any people are confused about what to do when confronted with an episode of back pain. nfortunately, that confusion also extends into the healthcare system. As a result, some patients don’t receive effective, evidencebased back pain treatment. As scientists discover the most effective treatments for spine problems, researchers aggregate that information to form clinical practice guidelines for doctors. The following guidelines for the treatment of new low back pain were published in e ne o rnal in 2010: 1. Avoid narcotic pain medication 2. Avoid passive treatments (such as bed rest, heat, or back braces) 3. ursue an aerobic exercise program 4. se a short course of non-steroidal anti-in ammatory drugs (Tylenol, Advil), unless medically contraindicated . tilize lumbar spine manipulation
therapy (chiropractic manipulation) 6. Seek education and reassurance about low back pain The same journal analyzed the treatment of 92 people with new onset low back pain and found that most patients failed to seek treatment consistent with these evidence-based guidelines. This resulted in higher cost of care and slower improvement. In contrast, those receiving the evidencebased treatment–including chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy–had

signi cantly greater improvement in low back function 8, 16, and 24 weeks later. This is no small problem. In fact, back pain is the second most common reason for making a doctor’s appointment. It affects 0 of Americans yearly and 80 of Americans at least once during a lifetime. Also, chronic back pain is one of the three most expensive ailments to manage.

The youth who participate in Runners Club also receive more lasting benefits from the program.The program’s benefits extend beyond material possessions. The youth learn to set goals and work diligently toward achievement. One of Ireland’s first youth participants could not run half a lap on his first day of Runners Club. Before he was discharged from residential treatment returned home, he finished a full 5K and said that it made him proud and happy. Running also serves as a healthy outlet to blow off steam and lower stress levels. The American Heart Association says physical activity does much more than establish hearthealthy habits. It boosts mental wellness as it helps manage stress, release tension, promote optimism and counter depression. One point Spunky Ireland likes to make clear is this: There is much more to Runners Club than running. The exercise has countless benefits, but something else occurs when participating in Runners Club. The youth and volunteers engage in conversation.
“You don’t have to be an elite runner to volunteer with us,” Ireland says. He reveals that many volunteers and kids walk rather than run at Runners Club. He also stresses that volunteers do not have to be experienced in working with troubled teens. Spunky’s Ireland’s goal for the program is to have a 1:1 volunteer-to-child ratio because the most important aspects of Runners Club are conversing with the youth and appreciating the benefits of exercise for everyone involved. If you’re looking for a volunteer opportunity in your Bartlett community, consider spending some time with Ireland and the kids at Youth Villages’ Runners Club.

ou’ve stuck with your no-frills workout routine for months, maybe even years, and now you’re in a rut. As rewarding as exercise can be, there’s just something so unstimulating about counting burned calories from a boring treadmill. It’s time to swap your standby workout routine with new—and fun—options for getting fit, and Bartlett offers a variety of exciting ways to get you toned and trim. Shake up your regular routine, and check out the Bartlett Recreation Center Aquatic Center, W. J. Freeman Park, CrossFit Bartlett, or Nesbit Park (also known as Stanky Creek) to get your blood pumping.

classes. If you don’t know how to swim or don’t remember the strokes, it may only take a few sessions to get you swimming properly. Tone your muscles and burn fat with lap swimming, or throw a kickboard into the mix to target your hips and glutes. Note that many gym exercises can be modified for the pool for all the same health benefits— but without the pounding music! Moving your aerobics routine into the water provides the toning and cardiovascular benefits of exercise on dry land with less strain on your muscles, joints and bones. Even shallow water-walking can burn approximately 260 calories per half hour, whereas walking on land only burns about 130 calories. Put on a water belt and cinch it at your waist before you move to deeper water to keep your chest above the water’s surface. Try alternating water-walking, water-jogging, and high knees for a few minutes each for added intensity.

fields, four tennis courts, a small playground, and soccer field. Walk the 10-mile fitness trail, or join your kids on the playground for an effective calisthenics workout that requires little equipment and is easy to do outdoors. From park bench pushups to open-air runs, fitness experts agree that a playground workout can challenge even the most die-hard gym users. Skip the high-priced suspension training straps, and instead try knee tucks on the swing set to strengthen your abs and obliques. Or swing on the monkey bars to help build your upper body and back strength. Once you get the feel for moving forward across the monkey bars, work on moving backward.

Local Cardiac Care Makes a Life-Saving Difference
T
he rst day of 2014 was nearly the last day of ohanna Deaton’s life. ohanna had been feeling a bit under the weather for a few days and had spent a quiet New ear’s Eve, staying up just long enough to welcome in 2014. The next day she wanted to get some fresh air, so she and her husband Chris decided to do some shopping. n the way to almart, despite the chilly temperature, ohanna was sweating. She opened the car window to get some fresh air. nce inside the store, while Chris went off to do some shopping, ohanna didn’t have the energy to accompany him and stayed behind to browse some books. Before long, she was leaning on a display to hold herself upright. Then she was sitting on the ground. “Chris came back to check on me,” said ohanna, a mother of three children. “I was feeling worse. My arms felt like jelly. Stabbing pains started in my back. Chris decided it was time to call 9-1-1.” City of Bartlett re ghter paramedics aul ing and Ronald rench quickly arrived on the scene and began evaluating ohanna. “ hen we rst arrived, there were multiple possibilities for Ms. Deaton’s symptoms,” said rench, an EMS provider with 24 years of experience. “It could have been anything from a stroke to dehydration or u. But once we did the 12 lead E and saw the
ST elevation, we knew we had a serious situation with a STEMI.” “I heard someone say I think she’s having a heart attack,’” says ohanna. “I thought, They can’t be talking about me.’” But they were talking about her. ohanna was soon being transported to Saint rancis ospital-Bartlett, where she would be the rst patient to be treated as part of the hospital’s new STEMI program. A STEMI is a very serious type of heart attack in which one of the heart’s major arteries is completely blocked. After arriving in the emergency room, ohanna was quickly transported to one of the hospital’s new interventional labs for treatment. As the STEMI team assembled, ohanna was unable to open her eyes. But she was aware of her surroundings, and she felt con dent about the treatment she was receiving. “I remember feeling very safe. eople in the room were calmly communicating with each other about what they were going to do. I never had any doubt that I was in good hands,” said ohanna. Led by cardiologist Muhammad anjua, M.D., the team treated ohanna by inserting a stent into the artery. The purpose of a stent is to restore blood ow through narrow or blocked arteries. The effect was immediate. “Do you feel great ” asked Dr. anjua. “I didn’t feel great, but I felt a whole lot better,” ohanna said with a smile. “I could open my eyes. I was able to talk. The pain

was gone as quick as it had come.” “ ohanna had a 100 percent blockage of the left anterior descending artery,” said anjua, a physician with Saint rancis Cardiology Associates of Memphis. “The stent allowed us to remove that blockage and immediately restore the ow of blood to her heart.” In addition to the STEMI program at Saint rancis-Bartlett, the hospital has received chest pain center accreditation from the Society of Cardiovascular atient Care (SC C). This accreditation is a result of the hospital meeting or exceeding the stringent criteria and onsite review by SC C’s accreditation review specialists. The hospital has also met the American eart Association’s time guidelines for treatment in all of their STEMI cases. “As a paramedic, we are really excited about the advancements Saint rancisBartlett has made in cardiac care,” said rench. “ hen you are dealing with a heart attack, time is muscle. That’s why the service Saint rancis is providing is extremely valuable to citizens.”

The area is relatively young with an average age of 37 and an average household income near $100,000. The Bartlett I-40 Corridor contains numerous multi-million dollar corporate and regional headquarters, some of which exceed $1 billion in annual revenues. Entrepreneurialism is alive and well in Bartlett and is reflected by the numerous start-up companies in medical devices, food processing, electrical equipment, hospitality, and human services. Bartlett Corporate Park is a testament to the can-do spirit that defines American

ingenuity and determination. Many of these “home-grown” companies have become multi-million-dollar corporations that are still headquartered in Bartlett. In recent years, Bartlett has emerged as having one of the largest concentrations of medical device manufacturing in the country. This dynamic industry provides good-paying jobs for both professional technicians and advanced-degreed engineers and specialists. In addition, the area contains a large number of other life-science-related industries, including pharmaceuticals, laboratories, and healthcare.

veryone wants to live in an attractive city with outstanding services and a safe environment, but not all cities can meet those expectations. Bartlett, however, continues to earn national recognition and accolades, but residents, businesses, and government must all play a role in ensuring Bartlett’s future prosperity. When additional revenues are needed to support services (such as a new school system), citizens, businesses, and elected officials alike would prefer the path of least resistance—increasing the sales tax instead of increasing property taxes. Yet sales tax is dependent on consumers and where they make purchases. Bartlett residents have many options regarding where to buy their groceries, gas, clothes, and entertainment. But how often does the average citizen think about where they’re buying their goods and services—and what effect that buying has on BARTLETT
INSIGHtS
their local community? By choosing to make purchases within the city limits of Bartlett, residents not only support local retailers and help to sustain jobs at those businesses, but they also invest in the community’s future. Shopping in Bartlett provides an additional and more direct benefit for all residents, too: a portion of the sales tax from buying locally goes to the City of Bartlett to support essential city services, such as the new Bartlett City Schools. More money from sales tax translates into less need to increase property taxes. So buying in Bartlett helps retailers, the city, schools, and residents? That sounds like a win for everyone—because it IS a win for everyone. To attract residents to shop in Bartlett, though, requires a wealth of retail choices of all varieties. Government officials and the chamber of commerce are actively involved in assisting existing retail business to grow and in attracting new retail establishments to the Photos by Marc Burford

If you haven’t been to a bowling alley in a while, be prepared to have your jaw drop when walking in to the VIB lounge. You’ll say, “Wow! This isn’t how I remember bowling. This place is nice!” And the food! With new, upscale dishes like cashew butter pasta, in addition to traditional bowling favorites such as pizza or nachos, you’re in for a treat. Priding themselves on their cleanliness, the entire Andy B’s facility is also non-smoking and features 32 traditional lanes and a large gaming area.

t’s Great People. It’s Passion.” Dr. W. Craig Esrael, President and CEO of First South Financial, attributed his company’s success to those two key factors when he accepted the Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce last year. Bartlett Area Chamber President, John Threadgill, presented the Entrepreneur of the Year Award to Esrael in front of nearly 100 chamber members at the organization’s monthly membership luncheon in June of 2014. Esrael becomes the 8th recipient of the award that honors an individual with the entrepreneurial spirit

when accepting the award, Esrael went on to say that he was proud to be part of the community but was most proud of the impact they are able to have on the community.
who has built a long-standing, successful business and who has made a significant contribution to the local economy. Esrael stated that he was “proud and honored to receive the Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Full credit for our organizational metamorphosis is rooted in the quality of our Board of Directors, our management team, and our staff. So, I proudly accept this wonderful award.” When accepting the award, Esrael went on to say that he was proud to be part of the community but was most proud of the impact they are able to have on the community. Because of their financial strength, First South Financial is able to have branches in locations where there are no longer other financial institutions, which greatly serves a need in the community. Bartlett Mayor A. Keith McDonald was in attendance at the presentation of the award and commented afterward, “Craig is very humble and deserving. For someone who has been as successful as he has, he is still focused on people and our community. We’re very thankful to have First South’s headquarters in Bartlett—not to mention they have one of the most beautiful front yards.”
Esrael started his career at First South Financial as Executive Vice President 31 years ago as a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin. Unbeknownst to Esrael at the time, the organization was one step away from conservatorship. Six straight quarters of net losses and rising delinquencies had sunk employee morale and almost caused the organization to close its doors. After only a short time, Esrael was asked to take over as President and CEO. He could have declined the offer, deeming the organization was too far-gone but as he joked at the Entrepreneur of the Year ceremony, he accepted the challenge because “as a young CEO at 24, if you go into an organization that is failing, what’s the worst that can happen?” After a complete assessment of the organization’s status, Esrael immediately began to chart a course for First South Financial that has led to one of the most extraordinary transformations in Tennessee banking history. He revamped the entire organization including everything from overhauling all financial policies and procedures to redeveloping and re-pricing all products to redeploying the staff and their incentive program to spur
63
growth. Years of a deeply set culture had to be erased and replaced with new ways of thinking. First South Financial began improving upon its very poor financial ratings, reaching the very highest ratings for financial strength and performance in the early 1990s and maintained those highest marks all while building its membership base, expanding from two to 12 locations, and moving its corporate headquarters in the mid-90s to its current location at 6471 Stage Rd in Bartlett. First South Financial’s marketing and branding throughout the years has been just as unique and as successful as Esrael’s approach to the industry. The organization started with an image campaign to inform the general public that they could do all of their banking with First South Financial more easily than they could with any bank in town, which evolved into a simple message of “You can bank on us.” Eventually, a tag line was added to the logo that states “Banking with Friends since 1957.” Through high-level strategic planning, the message was placed across all media outlets – TV, radio, Internet, print, and outdoor – in such a way that gave First South Financial the appearance of being everywhere without the enormous media campaign price tag. In order to differentiate itself from the impersonal image of other local banking institutions, Esrael also
BARTLETT
INSIGHtS
took on the role of being the face and spokesman for the organization. The idea that the President and CEO of First South Financial is so confident that his organization offers the best products, prices and service that he’s willing to personally guarantee it was unheard of in this market. And the response was overwhelmingly positive. New members and even new employees frequently mention that the commitment, honesty and sincerity of the CEO were the primary reason they looked at First South Financial as a viable alternative for them. And when the economy sank into a deep recession in early 2008 and the financial markets tumbled, First South Financial was able to immediately quash any fears regarding its financial strength and stability with a media blitz communicating the fact that ALL independent rating agencies ranked the organization as one of the strongest and safest financial institutions in the entire nation. And this is still true today. Throughout his 31 years at First South Financial, Esrael has grown a small credit union into the 13th largest financial institution in the region with a capital position so strong that it can withstand over 10 years of severe economic conditions without any effect on its ability to offer products and services to members or on its locations or staff…all while receiving consistently high member service scores of 3.92 or higher on a 4.0 scale.

A United Voice for Shelby County Medical Device Manufacturers
t was a historic day in Bartlett in July of 2014 when representatives from 17 medical device manufacturers throughout Shelby County met at Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center to do something unprecedented within the medical-device industry— form an incorporated not-for-profit association to address workforce needs and other issues that are critically important for the health of the industry. Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell and Bartlett Mayor A. Keith McDonald opened the meeting by each addressing the group. “We need to focus on what we can do collectively to make us stronger,” said Mayor Luttrell. “We, as a county, need to embrace this technology and do what we can to promote it.” Pledging their support, both mayors stated that the best they can do to help is to remove obstacles and to
worked closely over the past two years with a medical device steering committee. From the committee, a task force was created comprised of three original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and four suppliers to identify their specific needs and how to best address the common impediments affecting their growth and prosperity. The result was a template for a standard curriculum and the task force’s recommendation to form an incorporated notfor-profit 501(c)(6) medical device council to ensure that the workforce needs were being addressed. “Today, we do not have a united voice for our industry,” commented Gene Baker, Vice President of Operations for Smith & Nephew, when he addressed the group at the July formation meeting. “If you look across the country in areas that have successful business sectors, they typically have a forum like this. We won’t become as successful as
listen to the needs of the industry through the unified voice of the council. “We’re fortunate to have about 10 medical device companies here in the [Bartlett] city limits, employing about 500 people, and we’re committed to try to provide you with an educated workforce,” said Mayor McDonald. “In starting this new school system, one of the things that the new school board, the new superintendent, and I are in harmony on is the STEM initiative—starting children when they’re young to understand the importance of mathematics, engineering, technology and science.” The road to being able to come together to form a council was a long one that started back in the fall of 2011 when the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce conducted a study that identified three primary concerns as potential threats to the industry’s viability: 1) over-regulation, 2) lack of a standard training and recruitment program for skilled workers, and 3) a lack of cohesion within the industry, which weakens it in the publicpolicy arena. As a result, the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce
we could be without a forum like this.” Over the past decade, Shelby County has emerged as Tennessee’s medical device corridor and is the second largest cluster of orthopedic medical device companies in North America – second only to Warsaw, Indiana. Currently, more than 40 life science companies operate in the area, the majority of which are in northeast Shelby County. These companies are one of the region’s largest employing manufacturing industries, so a properly skilled workforce and a career pipeline dedicated to sustaining the skill sets required in the medical device industry are vital for the industry’s growth and the area’s economy. “There were 18,000 unfilled jobs in Shelby County in 2013 because we didn’t have a qualified workforce,” said Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell. While the medical device industry only accounted for a portion of those jobs, it’s a trend that has continued over the past few years and has been of concern to the industry. “The medical device industry is not only a significant employer in terms of number of jobs in Shelby County (continued on p. 68)

while providing extraordinary service every time. Because of the quality of the employees and the size of the organization, Renasant is well positioned to deliver all the products of a mega-bank but still have the personal touch of a community bank. At its core, Renasant is a bank that knows its clients by name and meets their needs through understanding. Building relationships, helping individuals, families and businesses reach their nancial dreams, and supporting the communities Renasant serves has always been the company’s calling. In turbulent times within the nancial services industry, Renasant remains strong by holding to this calling and its time-tested conservative business model.
(continued from p. 66) but also in the quality of jobs,” commented Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce President John Threadgill. “The industry coming together to talk is the first step in really making some progress for the greater good of the industry—and for the community.” At the historic July 2014 meeting, 17 medical device companies officially agreed to form the Greater Memphis Medical Device Council and voted on a nine-member board of directors to oversee the council. Gene Baker with Smith & Nephew was elected chairman of the board; Jodie Gilmore with Onyx Medical Corporation as chairman-elect; and Stan McKee with Medtronic as secretary-treasurer. “We can effect change, and it’s going to start today. Ultimately, coming together for the benefit of the whole industry—this is an important catalyst for the Memphis metropolitan area and beyond,” stated Chairman-elect Gilmore. The council’s main objective is to address the workforce issue, along with helping direct government and education policy toward a more productive pipeline of skill sets to grow the industry and jobs. The council will also review legislation and government policies that may have an adverse impact on the industry’s growth and sustainability and is further responsible for initiating programs to benefit the overall industry through education, innovation, and technology and career-path curriculums “We are all excited about forming the Greater Memphis

Medical Device Council to more successfully collaborate as an industry, identify shared employee development needs, and guide an educational structure that will effectively close the respective skills gap for all levels of biomedical careers,” said Gilmore. “We must thank the Bartlett Area Chamber, which has been such a strong catalyst in this effort and for which we are very grateful.” The charter members of the Greater Memphis Medical Device Council were Ariste Medical, Inc.; Big River Engineering; Bioventus, LLC; Enteroptyx, Inc.; Innovision, Inc.; MB Innovations, Inc.; Medtronic; MicroPort Orthopedics; Gyrus ACMI, Inc.; Onyx Medical Corporation; Restore Medical Solutions, LLC; Smith & Nephew; Surface Dynamics LLC; Titan Medical, LLC; Wright Medical Technology, Inc; Y&W Technologies; and Zimmer Spine. “The medical device business is a clean, fastgrowing industry that helps people restore their lives,” said Chairman Baker. “There is no reason Memphis cannot be the medical device capital of the world. The greater Memphis area has key advantages today such as a favorable tax structure and a relatively low cost of living. When we combine this strong base with a united medicaldevice voice, a highly-trained workforce, and favorable government policy, there will be no reason the greater Memphis area cannot become the world’s capital for medical devices—at a minimum, we should be the U.S. capital for our industry.”
