hank you for taking time to read this edition of the Bartlett Insights Magazine. We have a vibrant business community, and I hope you will do everything you can to support it. When you do business with the companies located in our city limits, you help provide jobs and funding for our schools. Over the course of our rich history, Bartlett has grown from a sleepy stagecoach town to a thriving farming community to an industrial business hub. Today, we are the 10th largest city in Tennessee with nearly 60,000 residents who make up our vibrant community life. Bartlett is consistently recognized by national publications as one of the country’s most desirable places to live for the safety, opportunity, education and affordability it provides residents and their families. Many of them enjoy the big city attractions that make Bartlett an active cultural, recreational and entertainment center. But all can appreciate the unique small-town spirit which preserves and strengthens our community. I am proud of the accomplishments we have made, and I’m sure the best is yet to come. Bartlett will continue to be a city of choice where good people can work, live, play and learn. Bartlett is place where we can both educate our children and care for our elders from generation to generation.

How Bartlett Became its Epicenter
he story behind the development of the medical device industry in Bartlett and Memphis is one of innovation, entrepreneurship and a dynamic collaboration between world-class physicians and the creative individuals who could translate concepts into physical reality. It begins in the small town of Warsaw in Northern Indiana, moves to Memphis and then to 140 countries throughout the developed and developing world. And that sense of “can do� creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation continues today, right here in Bartlett.

QUANTIFYING an
INDUSTRY IM P ACT O F MEDICAL DEVICES IN T H E MEM P H IS EC O N O MY
Exactly how big is the medical device industry in the Memphis economy and is it as dynamic as everyone thinks?
I
n the fall of 2015 the Memphis & Shelby County Economic Development Growth Engine (EDGE) commissioned a study to determine what impact the medical device industry has on the local economy. It had been assumed for years that the industry played an important role in the growth of the region, but there was no empirical evidence. However, there were certain established facts that helped justify this thinking, the medical device industry is one of the largest manufacturing sectors in Shelby County, its recognition by the US Department of Commerce as the largest single exporting industry in the State of Tennessee, that the industry possesses a large contingent of skilled professionals with higher than average wages, and the medical devices sector is prized by economic analysts as a “growth� industry for the 21st Century. Taken anecdotally this was an impressive list of factors, but it needed quantifying.

The medical device industry is, indeed, an economic engine for the Memphis area and has the potential for ample growth.
The study by EDGE ended the speculation and helped define an industry that has a huge impact on Memphis and its metropolitan area. As a job maker, the industry employs about 7,000 people yet it is responsible for an additional 10,000 indirect jobs. The economic impact it produces annually is in excess of $2.4 billion and generates $50 million in tax revenues. The approximately 45 medical device companies in the greater Memphis area comprise less than Ÿ of 1% of the total number of business establishments but support 3.5% of the employment and 3.7% of its GDP. The average wages paid to employees within the industry are 65% greater than the overall annual average wage in Shelby County. For the retail and hospitality sectors the industry’s impact is substantial contributing over $1 billion annually to consumer spending. To put this in perspective the Volkswagen plant BARTLETT
INSIGHTS
in Chattanooga created 5,000 fewer jobs and half the total income. In addition the local taxes generated by the medical device industry are more than double that generated by the automotive plant and its auxiliary businesses. In a nutshell, the medical device industry is, indeed, an economic engine for the Memphis area and has the potential for ample growth. How did this very important and dynamic industry take root in Memphis? Where did the industry originate? Was it recruited by State and local economic development professionals or did it simply grow organically? And most importantly for the citizens of Bartlett, how did our community become the epicenter for the medical device industry in Tennessee? And how can we sustain this vital industry and help it grow? This Issue will delve into the industry’s history and provide a picture of how it all came about in Memphis. Prepare yourself for some very interesting reading!

In the Beginning
xperts within the industry agree that the development of a medical device cluster in Memphis was not orchestrated, conceived of, or planned…it simply happened. Yet to have a beginning you need a starting point or impetus. That push originated with two key individuals, a physician and an entrepreneur in the early 1900’s. Dr. Willis C. Campbell is viewed by many as one of the founders of modern orthopaedics. Born in 1880 in Jackson, MS, Campbell received his medical degree at the University of Virginia and set up practice in Memphis. His interest in orthopaedics took him to London and Vienna where he studied the latest techniques. He returned to Memphis and in 1909 set up his orthopaedic practice. When the University of Tennessee – Memphis Medical Campus was established in 1910, Dr. Campbell was asked to organize the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University. He established the first orthopaedic residency program, and co-founded The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and served as its first president. His knowledge and influence ran so deep that he even wrote the first textbook on the subject—known as Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics—which soon became the definitive work on the specialty, and retains that status even now with the publication of the 13th edition in 2016. Our story now turns to a small town in Indiana by the name of Warsaw. It was here that the world’s first commercial orthopaedic manufacturer was founded. Revra DePuy, a native of Michigan, and considered by many to have been a born entrepreneur, had clerked in a drug store when young and his interest in pharmaceuticals led him to earn a degree in

chemistry from the University of Toronto. After college he invented a technique for sugar coated pills. Later he worked as a traveling salesman and decided to settle down in Warsaw. It was here that he developed a fiber splint to replace the wooden barrel splints which had been used primarily by the Army to set bone fractures. In 1895 DePuy Manufacturing was born and the US Army soon became his biggest customer. When DePuy died in 1921, the company’s first sales representative, Justin O. Zimmer, offered to buy the company from his widow. When she refused to sell, Zimmer went across town and set up a competing business in 1927 and named it after himself. These two companies established Warsaw as the medical device capital of America and both are still giants within the industry. Richards Medical, The Campbell Clinic and Dr. John J. Shea
Dr. John J. Shea
The development of the medical device industry in Warsaw and the reputation of Dr. Campbell, the clinic he founded and his overall influence in the field of orthopaedics, helped set the stage for our next main character: J. Don Richards a Mississippi native. A salesman by profession, Richards just happened to be one of Zimmer’s top salesmen, in addition to being Justin Zimmer’s first cousin. He had a good grasp of the industry, and decided he could make a go of it competing with his employer and its arch rival DePuy. But instead of setting up shop in Warsaw he chose a location that had a strong reputation in medical orthopaedics established by the Campbell Clinic and where he could operate in proximity to some of the leading practitioners in the country. He also was married to Euna, a New Orleans native who strongly balked
Willis Campbell (center)
at the idea of living in northern Indiana. So Richards chose Memphis and in 1934 established Richards Manufacturing in a basement garage on Madison Avenue. This was the beginning of the medical device industry in Memphis. In the early years Richards Manufacturing, renamed Richards Medical, focused on simple orthopaedic splints and rib belts. The company benefited greatly from its association with the Campbell Clinic and expanded its product line often by collaborating with and using intellectual property of local orthopaedic surgeons. Another significant collaboration took place in the early 1950’s between a famous Memphis physician and an engineer at Richards Medical that resulted in a revolutionary medical device. Dr. John J. Shea met with Harry Treace on a Friday afternoon in his office at Richards to discuss creating a Teflon replica of a stapes, a small bone that rests against the eardrum and picks up vibrations, translating them to sound. The first stapes modeled by Treace was made from a bar of Ivory Soap. This was the beginning of Richards Medical move into the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) medical device market. Harry Treace was a talented artist and designer and created the first compression hip screw, which became the standard for treatment of broken hips. Treace became the president and sole owner of Richards upon the death of J. Don Richards. The Shea/Richards collaboration began an unprecedented period of innovation which resulted in revolutionary advances in otology, including and most BARTLETT
INSIGHTS
notably, the stapedectomy operation for otosclerosis, a leading cause of conductive deafness. The operation is performed worldwide with very few changes to Dr. Shea’s procedure and firmly established Memphis as a hotbed of medical innovation. Dr. Shea performed over 25,000 stapedectomies during his career and the Shea Ear Clinic remains one of the preeminent centers in the world in performing this very difficult procedure. Dr. John Shea was also responsible for many other advances in otology, including middle ear prostheses, microscopes, drills and other surgical instruments, and intratympanic perfusion, a major advance in the treatment of inner ear disorders including Meniere’s disease. Growth and Acquisition – Smith & Nephew, Gyrus and Olympus In 1984 Richards purchased twenty acres in the Bartlett Industrial Park, the park’s first tenant, and constructed a 116,000 sq. ft. facility totally dedicated to the manufacture of ear, nose and throat products (ENT). In1986, Richards was acquired by Smith & Nephew, a British healthcare company and became Smith & Nephew ENT. By 1992, sales reach $25 million and doubled by the year 2000. In 2001, Smith & Nephew ENT is purchased by Gyrus Group forming Gyrus ENT. In 2012, Gyrus was acquired by Olympus Surgical Technologies America which recently broke ground in Bartlett for a new $12 million facility. The two-story 110,000 sq. ft. service and distribution center will be completed this year and add more than 280 new employees.
Willis Campbell’s 60th birthday celebration
The orthopedic branch of Richards was also purchased by Smith & Nephew, becoming Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics with five manufacturing, research and distribution facilities located in the Memphis area. Wright for Memphis Frank O. Wright was another key character instrumental in the history of the orthopaedic industry in Memphis. A salesman for Richards Medical, Frank came up with an idea to lessen back pain for people walking in leg casts. In 1950 Wright created and marketed his “all rubber walking heels” for leg casts. His company, Wright Manufacturing, quickly grew and moved to Arlington in 1970. In the following decade a new line of implants, featuring an exciting new technology, silicone, was introduced for the small joints of the fingers and toes. Dow Corning purchased Wright in 1977, two years after Frank’s death, and renamed it Dow Corning Wright. In 1986 Dow formed a plastic surgery division and added breast implants as a new product line. In 1990 Wright introduced the Whiteside Modular Knee, BARTLETT
INSIGHTS
named after Dr. Leo Whiteside of St. Louis, which became an industry breakthrough. A class-action law suit against Dow Corning and its siliconegel breast implants prompted Dow to sell off the Arlington-based company and in 1993 it was acquired by a group of investors who changed the name to Wright Medical Technologies. In 2003, Wright Medical Technologies was the fastest-growing orthopaedic company in the country. Among its product lines are various devices designed in collaboration with local orthopaedic surgeons, one of which is an expandable femoral replacement prosthesis allowing noninvasive femoral lengthening in pediatric limb salvage procedures such as those done at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. As with most other orthopaedic companies, Wright has a spectrum of biologic tissue implants that supplement its robust product line. Wright continued to grow and acquire other companies and in 2014 made the decision to focus on its niche market of extremities (fingers and toes) and spun off its traditional hip and knee division to MicroPort, a Shanghai based medical device manufacturer. Wright relocated its corporate offices to east Memphis but maintained its manufacturing operation in Arlington alongside MicroPort.
Memphis Grows a Spine Industry Once again, the story turns to Indiana, and a company named Warsaw Orthopedics which manufactured basic products like pins and wires used in surgery. A partner in, and president of, Warsaw Orthopedics, LD Beard, lived in Memphis and commuted weekly to Indiana. Tired of the commute, Warsaw Orthopedics merged with a small Memphis company owned by Alan Olson, DANEK, the name a combination of Olson’s children, Danielle and Erick. Soon after the merger, DANEK was requested to produce a product for a spinal surgery by a hospital in Texas, creating a new focus for the Memphis-based company. In 1993 DANEK was purchased by a French firm called Sofamor and became Sofamor-DANEK. Under the leadership of LD Beard and Ron Pickard, a previous president of Smith & Nephew, the company prospered. In 1998, Medtronic, the world’s largest medical technology company, purchased Sofamor-DANEK. Now called Medtronic Spine, the company continues to dominate the spinal market.

One such example is Tony Prescott, a former research engineer at the ENT Division of Richards Medical. Working in his garage in Bartlett in 1995, Prescott developed a titanium ventilation tube that significantly improved the then existing models used in ear implants. Today, the company Prescott founded from his garage is Grace Medical, a leader in ENT product innovation and manufacture headquartered in Bartlett. So once again, a major The Levitt ShellBartlett area Memphis and medical device company has its beginnings in a family garage. When asked why so many device companies found their way to Bartlett, Prescott noted that entrepreneurs tended to headquarter their operations not far from where they

live, a matter of convenience and a small commute. “Not necessarily so,” said Kayla Rodriguez Graff, Co-Founder of SweetBio, a bio-technical company specializing in tissue and bone growth as well as wound care. “I’m from San Francisco. We could have gone anywhere but chose this area because it is the center of medical device innovation and expertise. And the proximity of Fed Ex was a consideration as well.” But the continued growth of this vital industry is no sure thing. As noted in the opening paragraphs of this article, the medical device industry in this area involves “a large contingent Tony Prescott of skilled professionals.” The Tennessee Higher Education Commission has identified an annual deficit of 4,557 qualified Tennesseans to fill jobs within the precision production sector. Companies will not locate to or grow in an area where they cannot find skilled employees. Kayla Rodriguez Graff (center)
Greater Memphis Medical Device Council
In July 2014, representatives from 17 medical device manufacturers and suppliers met in the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center and formed a
not-for-profit association to address present and future workforce needs. The Greater Memphis Medical Device Council (GMMDC. org) provides a united voice for the industry to confront two primary concerns: the lack of a standard training and recruitment program for skilled workers and governmental overregulation. Because of the cluster of medical
device companies located in the Bartlett area, the Council, working with the office of the mayor and the city’s newly formed school district, focused on Bartlett High School and came up with a curriculum and protocol to introduce students with operating Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. The program began in October 2016 at Bartlett High School and is just
the beginning. In addition, the GMMDC along with the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce has been working with the area’s community and technical colleges to design curriculum and certification programs for the next generation of machinists, quality inspectors, packagers and metal finishers. Today, the GMMDC is composed of over 30 companies throughout the Greater Memphis area including both OEM’s (original equipment manufacturers) and their suppliers. These companies all share the same vision to make our region the medical device capital of the world. Medical Device Institute The ultimate goal of the GMMDC has been to develop a training facility solely dedicated to medical device manufacturing. In November of 2016 a $4 million grant from the State of Tennessee was awarded to TCAT (Tennessee College of Applied Technology) Memphis to create a state-ofthe-art advanced manufacturing facility in Bartlett. Additional funding for the new institute has been pledged by the City of Bartlett and the Haas Foundation. When completed, the institute along with the program at Bartlett High School will prepare students to operate CNC machines as well as other career paths needed by the industry. These programs will be taught at community and technical colleges like Moore Tech, Arkansas State University MidSouth and Southwest Tennessee Community College and will provide the workforce that will enable the medical device industry to prosper, grow and attract even more companies to the Memphis area. Ultimately the industry will continue to provide the technical and biologic advances that improve all lives and thus enhance the future of the Bartlett and Memphis economy.

Lester Brown
n a recent trip to my hair salon on South Main downtown, I could see several different groups of visitors strolling along the streets by the National Civil Rights Museum and the Blues Hall of Fame. Just ahead of me, I observed a couple looking at a map and appearing a bit puzzled. Immediately, a resident stopped and said, “Can I help y’all find something?” As I waited for my appointment, this scenario repeated itself not once, but twice, with different visitors and residents. What’s remarkable about this? It just illustrates the heart of service that beats in our Memphis area. Memphis is widely known for our generosity, having placed #3 of the Most Generous Cities in the US according to Barna Group research. We are not only generous with our dollars, but we are generous with our time as well. In my position as Volunteer Services Manager at Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett, I am surrounded by people that give of their time without expecting anything in return. The Mid-South is filled with such volunteers that give to others and gain priceless benefits. Lester Brown, a Private Relationship Manager with First Tennessee Bank, is a perfect example of this service. I have worked with Lester as an Ambassador for the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce, but that BARTLETT

is only the tip of his volunteer iceberg. Lester serves on the Board of Directors for Playhouse on the Square and is a member of the Bartlett Rotary. He graduated Leadership Bartlett (1998) and has served on the Board of Directors for the Chamber. As I asked Lester about his volunteer service, he mentioned helping with Memphis in May, St. Jude, SRVS (a charity dedicated to serving people with disabilities), American Heart Association and the Cooper Young Festival. Lester says, “I help in a way that supports the organization so they don’t have to pay someone to do what I’m doing.” What does Lester get out of all this time and energy he gives away? “I get the opportunity to engage with so many people of various backgrounds, different cultures. That’s a blast for me. I get bored with being around people that are just like me. I learn from others, I grow from them.” How does Lester find time for all this? “I could be doing other stuff but this is fun to me. I feel good about myself when I’m helping children and reaching a special group.” Victor Crutchfield retired from UT Health Science Center after working in purchasing for 30 years. His retirement lasted about a week. Vic says, “I told myself, I’m going to find a volunteer job.” As a lifelong Mid-South resident, Vic was raised by a mother that volunteered at Wonders exhibitions, garden clubs, and church organizations. Perhaps this spurred Vic to contact Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett to inquire about a volunteer position. Just put me where the need is,” Vic said. Vic began to serve three mornings a week but was always willing to change service positions whenever needed. “Where you see a need, you just go ahead and fill it,” Vic explains. “I didn’t plan it that way, it just turned out. I serve four days a week now.” Vic runs the goody cart to all areas of the hospital and helps the IT department. Mark Lawrence, Manager of Information Systems, says, “Vic has been invaluable documenting equipment and his attention to detail has given us very accurate records.” In less than two years, Vic has served over 1,250 hours and knows virtually every employee in the hospital. He feels that he saves the employees time and helps those that

Vic Crutchfield says, “You have to keep busy. If you don’t keep busy, you’re not going to be here very long. You know, we see lots of volunteers over 80 years old, they have kept busy. People are so nice here; you just can’t help but be nice back!” Lester Brown asks this challenging question, “How much do you care about the development of your community or neighborhood?” If you care about it, you should be ready to give at the personal level. “You’ve got to care about the cause.” Marian advises that people need to be committed to giving of themselves but not to over commit. “The essence of volunteering is sharing your personal gifts. There are real needs everywhere in our community. It’s the right thing to do.” Clearly, the volunteer spirit is alive and well in the Mid-South. I see it every day with the dozens of volunteers that find joy in their service at our hospital. I see it in area churches providing reading instruction to local schools. I see it in people riding bikes to deliver food to the homeless. I even see it on the way to the hair salon. Keep watch, you’ll see the heart of volunteering all around you.

Her business helped her connect to others in the area, and Marian very quickly began to serve charities with causes close to her heart. Marian is an Ambassador for the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce, but she also serves on the Bartlett Education Foundation Board and is heavily involved in Madonna Circle. Madonna Circle is a group of more than 350 women that support charities throughout the Mid-South. A highlight of Marian’s volunteer service was chairing the recent 80th anniversary Madonna Circle Gala that raised more than $82,000 for the RISE Foundation, a non-profit committed to fostering financial literacy for low-income individuals and youth. “That was the biggest thing I have done. It took gathering a whole village of women who volunteer their time to make it all come together.” Marian has a particular affinity for senior citizens saying, “It’s really important for us to put ourselves out there. We may be the only connection they have.” With all the time Marian gives away, she still feels that she gains more than she gives. “I get great satisfaction. I am enlarging my circle of friends.

T
he rich culture of the Mid South has had a profound influence on the world’s literature, art and especially music. Preserving, protecting and projecting that heritage is of immense concern and pride to the citizens of the region. Today, visitors as well as residents are intrigued by the large venue of museums and interesting places to explore and experience. The Stax Museum of American Soul Music The world- renowned Stax Records recording studio is now a 17,000-squarefoot museum with more than 2,000 videos, films, photographs and original instruments. The museum celebrates the legacy of the studio and artists such as Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, the Staple Singers, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, Booker T. & the MGs, Rufus and Carla Thomas. Visitors also are treated to vintage video footage of non-Stax artists such as Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and others. The Memphis Zoo In 2008, the Memphis Zoo was ranked “#1 Zoo in the U.S.” by TripAdvisor. Located in Midtown’s Overton Park, the Memphis Zoo has been a major tenant of the park for more than 100 years and is home to more than 3,500 animals representing over 500 different species. Main attractions in the zoo include: Cat Country, Animals of the Night, Dragon’s Lair, Primate Canyon, Giant Panda Exhibit, Northwest Passage, Teton Trek and the newest exhibit the Zambezi River Hippo Camp. An interactive “Down on the Farm” section is designed for young children.

National Civil Rights Museum Tracing the history of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States from the 17th century to the present, the National Civil Rights Museum involves a complex of buildings and properties focused on the former Lorraine Motel where Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. In 2016, the museum was honored by becoming a Smithsonian Affiliate museum. The museum’s most popular exhibits include: Room 306 (where Dr. King was staying when he died), the replica sanitation truck (Dr. King came to Memphis to support an AFSCME sanitation workers’ strike), and the replica of the bus Rosa Parks rode in Montgomery, Alabama, before initiating the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-56. One of the newer exhibits features a replica of the U.S. Supreme Court room where oral argument was heard in 1954 in the seminal Brown v. Board of Education, in which the Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. BARTLETT

NIGHTLIFE ENTERTAINMENT Our region is known for its music and its unique entertainment style. If you are looking for a fun night out on the town for music and dancing there is a wide array of clubs and entertainment districts throughout the area that can match any taste. Downtown Memphis Beale Street Voted the most recognized entertainment district in the country, Beale originally served as the Main Street of the African-American community. During the weekday it was bustling with commercial activity and on the weekends the storefronts came alive with music. It was Beale Street that inspired Elvis Presley and B.B. King and many other world renowned entertainers. Today, these two city blocks are jammed packed with music, food, merchandising and fun. South Main Street Originally the warehouse district of 19th Century Memphis, South Main has become one of the most desired locations for artists, local restaurants and bars, off-Beale music venues and new downtown residents.

Cardiac Age Screenings
hen it comes to cardiovascular disease, the statistics for Tennesseans are not encouraging. Tennessee has the seventh highest death rate from cardiovascular disease in the United States and ranks among the worst states in the nation when it comes to heart age. So, what is heart age? It’s the age of your heart and blood vessels when considering risk factors such as heart attack and stroke. The hope is that the heart age is equal to or less than a person’s chronological age. “Studies have shown that half of all men and forty percent of all women have a heart age that is five or more years older than their actual age,” said Shelly Shellenbarger, Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett chest pain coordinator. “In fact, the average adult in the United States has a heart age that is seven years older than it should be.” While factors such as age and family history are out of your control, the good news is that there are several factors that can be controlled. These include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and diabetes. At Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett, free cardiac age screenings are offered to the community to help detect minor problems before they turn into significant health risks. The free screenings allow individuals to learn their body mass index, cholesterol level, glucose level, and blood pressure. Using these results, Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett is then able to provide a person with their cardiac age, the opportunity to speak with a medical professional, put the results into perspective and provide answers to any questions. Making A Difference “I believe these free screenings saved my life,” said Marius Payton. Marius had attended a cardiac age screening with his wife, Susan. They had recently started a vegetarian diet and exercise program, and Marius was excited to see the effect this had on his cholesterol level. The good news was that his cholesterol was in the normal range for the BARTLETT

first time in many years. The bad news was that his blood pressure was extremely high resulting in a heart age of 67, 20 years older than his chronological age. “I had thought my recent headaches were a result of allergies,” explained Marius. “I went to the doctor because of the blood pressure results at the heart age screening, and it was discovered that I had a complete blockage of an artery to my brain. I am currently being treated, and I hope that I am on the road to recovery. If I hadn’t gone to the screening, I hate to think about what might have happened.” Schedule Your Free Screening If you are ready to find out if you are young at heart, it’s a great time to schedule your free cardiac age screening.

The Mississippi River Corridor contains over 250,000 acres of bluff and bottomland that offer a unique experience for those seeking a change of scenery. Beginning at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers is a high bluff that parallels the west bank of the Mississippi. The Chickasaw Bluff continues into Tennessee and provides breathtaking vistas of the river and affords “high ground” above the flood-prone bottomland. In fact Memphis was sited where it is not

by accident but simply because it was located on top of a strategic portion of the bluff. The first nickname for Memphis was “Bluff City”. Four state parks and thousands of acres of wildlife refuge land exist within the Corridor. Hunting, fishing, boating, hiking, biking and wildlife observing are all popular activities within the Corridor.

Pickwick Lake
The Mississippi River has created numerous lakes within the bottomland some many thousands of acres. The crown jewel of these is Reelfoot Lake. Reelfoot is Tennessee’s largest natural lake but geographically it is a newborn - actually younger than the State. In the winter of 1811-1812 a series of massive earthquakes shook the region and the Mississippi River actually spilled over its banks and filled a swampy depression creating the lake. Cypress trees that existed before 1812 still grow in the middle of this shallow lake. Today Reelfoot is regarded as a sportsmen’s paradise for trophy fish and waterfowl: 15,000 acres of open lake and cypress swamps make this a unique natural asset. Bald Eagles that winter here are probably Reelfoot’s most famous attraction. People come from hundreds of miles to get a peek at these majestic birds. Accommodations are plentiful along the south and eastern shore. No visit is complete, however, without a self- guided boat tour or a managed boat tour by the State Park service or the numerous private guides. Discovery Park of America is a museum, park and garden located in Union City, Tennessee. The park sits on 50 acres and features exhibits and activities on local history, nature, military history, art and science. Design commenced on the $100 million project in July 2008 and opened in November 2013. It was financed by Union City-based Robert E. and Jenny D. Kirkland Foundation, which has also earmarked $2 million a year for 20 years to cover operating costs and buy exhibits. Discovery Park is a great family venue and offers a little bit of everything from toddlers to mature adults. For more information visit discoveryparkofamerica.com. Pickwick Lake. Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama This is THE Lake for many Mid-Southerners - two hours due east of Memphis, Pickwick stretches for over 50 miles bordering three states. The lake is the impoundment of the Tennessee River, one of the nation’s largest tributary systems within the Mississippi River Valley. Pickwick is wide - over one mile in most places BARTLETT

and white caps are common. Most of the water sports take place in the numerous coves and creeks throughout its length, while the large transport barges use the main channel for carrying their heavy loads. The marinas at Pickwick have some very impressive sized boats and yachts many of which are ocean worthy, as well as boats available for rental. In fact, one can actually take a large water craft from Pickwick to the Gulf of Mexico through the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Canal. The lake is nestled in a narrow valley with step sided cliffs with large homes gracing their crest. Numerous waterfalls dot the shoreline. The Tennessee portion of the lake contains Pickwick Landing State Park with a full service lodge and marina. Many motels and restaurants service the thousands of annual visitors in both Tennessee and Mississippi. Much of the Alabama shore is a wildlife refuge which ensures a large undeveloped area. Hot Springs, Arkansas Hot Springs is internationally renowned for possessing some of the best therapeutic spring waters in the world. The famous Bathhouse Row is part of Hot Springs National Park and a few of the renovated bathhouses offer the full bath/message treatment. Located an easy three-hour drive from the Bartlett area, Hot Springs sits in a beautiful valley at the beginning of the Ouachita Mountain Range. No visit is complete without a stop at the famous Arlington Hotel - the epicenter of the Bath District. There are numerous trails and other outdoor activities throughout the region. The lakes that surround Hot Springs, Lake Hamilton and Ouachita Lake, are some of the nation’s finest in terms of clarity and purity. Eureka Springs & Crystal Bridges, Arkansas Selected as one of America’s Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Eureka is a popular tourist destination for its unique character as a resort village filled with Victorian-style cottages and manors. The buildings are primarily constructed of local
stone and are built along streets that curve around the hills and rise and fall with the topography in a five-mile long loop. No two streets intersect at a 90 degree angle and there are no traffic lights. One of the nation’s best museums of American Art – Crystal Bridges - is located just 45 minutes to the west of Eureka Springs. Conceived by Alice Walton, the daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, and spearheaded by the Walton Family Foundation, the museum features a series of pavilions nestled around two creek-fed ponds. The complex includes 217,000 square feet of galleries, several meeting and classroom spaces, a library, a sculpture garden, and a gift shop. It is the first major art museum (over $200 million endowment) to open in the United States since 1974. Spring, Current and Buffalo Rivers, Arkansas Just hours from Memphis in Northern Arkansas and Southern Missouri are some of the most scenic and crystalline rivers in the country, perfect for trout fishing, canoeing or providing the perfect picnic spot. Located near Hardy, Arkansas, the Spring River as the name implies is created by one of the largest springs in the US – Mammoth Springs. The river is a typical water mountain stream and is extremely cold. Because of its source the river remains perpetually cold for most of its flow before it runs into the Black River. This is a great
trout fishing river and is responsible for many trophy catches. It is also a favorite recreational area for canoeist, swimmers and folks who just like the outdoors. The community of Hardy, AR caters to visitors to the area and still maintains much of its rustic image. The Current River is a short three-hour drive from Memphis to Van Buren, MO. It is the ideal destination for people who enjoy the outdoors and being on the water in lazy fashion. The river and its environment are typical of the rivers of the Ozarks. Fed by numerous springs along its 100-mile-plus course, the Current is a tubers paradise. It gets its name from the continuous swift flow of the river and this makes for ideal conditions for simply letting the current carry you down river – with cooler in toe, of course. This is great fun for the entire family. Tube and canoe outfitters provide rentals and access to and from the river. Camping and overnight canoe trips are also very popular. The Buffalo River, located near Mountain View, Arkansas, was the nation’s first National Scenic River designation and is one of the most beautiful natural freeflowing rivers remaining in America. The river begins in the highest ridges of the Boston Mountains and carves a deep canyon through the white limestone plateau as it works its way east to its confluence with the White River. It is extremely popular with canoeists whether for the day or over a week. The scenery is breathtaking on the river as well as above it.

REAL ESTATE
I
n July 2007 the national real estate bubble burst bringing tough economic times with bank foreclosures, short sales, and home builders going out of business. The government tried to help stimulate the economy with $5,000 tax credits for first-time home buyers, but real estate values continued to drop. Bartlett’s market was no different. In 2006, Bartlett had 300 plus permits pulled for new construction. That number dropped in 2007 to 215 permits and the number continued to fall. In 2010 only 81 permits were pulled. By 2015, with the market beginning to recover, 221 permits were pulled and 2016 surpassed 250. BARTLETT

MARKET With continued low interest rates and rising property values, Northeast Shelby County remains a very affordable place to live. In 2016 over 100 homes sold in Bartlett with an average sales price of $200,000. This is a stark contrast to 2010 when 44 homes sold and the average price was $140,000 and of those 11 were bankowned properties. Northeast Shelby County is currently seeing a seller’s market with low housing inventory and high demand. More homes for sale are experiencing multiple offers. In September of 2007 there were 13,227 homes available for sale on the market. In August of 2016 there were 5,666. This rebound partly can be attributed to the

new municipal school systems and the private sector investment in the communities. With the economy bouncing back and more confidence in the market, builders, such as CMCC, Grant, Magnolia, and Regency, are beginning to increase the amount of new housing inventory which will ease discrepancy between supply and demand, but there is still a shortage of available lots. John Linthicum, the managing broker of Crye-Leike in Bartlett said, “In 2010 our realtors could easily find you a place to call home, but were struggling to sell homes, now in 2016 they can easily sell your home, but are having to work diligently to find you a home to buy.” The rental market remains strong although it is still
cheaper to buy in Northeast Shelby County than it is to rent, the average rate being $1,446 per month in Bartlett. Investors and hedge funds like FREO of TN, which has purchased about 2,000 homes in the area, are buying homes both large and small because the rent demand is up and they see growth in retail and education. Some of the most recent commercial developments in the area are the opening of Ikea, Walmart Super Center on Whitten, Lakeland Middle Preparatory School, The Lake District multiuse development (formerly Lakeland Outlet Mall), the Parkside renovations at Shelby Farms, Main Event Entertainment Center, Sprouts Farmer’s Market, and the $12 million dollar industrial expansion announced

by Olympus. The new dual enrollment partnership between the Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) and Bartlett High School allows students to receive training on Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) equipment such as lathes and mills, including how to use and program the machines for professional purposes, is an exceptional plus for the Bartlett area. As the second largest producer of medical device components in the nation, this is a huge opportunity for Bartlett students and the medical device

industry. The announcement in November 2016 that a medical device training institute is to be established in Bartlett will go far to ensure a sustainable pipeline of skilled workers thus growing the local industry. Given the strong infrastructure and amenities that exist in the Bartlett area, there is plenty of growth potential for the 21st Century. Finally with construction complete on the I-40 fly over, northeast Shelby County residents are seeing reduced travel times and are able to enjoy shorter commute times throughout the metro area.

Bartlett and the
MEDICAL DEVICE INDUSTRY
O
ur focus as a state on what I call “the four E’s of Tennessee” – employment, education, economic opportunity and enforcement of the law – is producing results right here in Bartlett, Tennessee. The city will soon be home to a new Medical Device Institute – a satellite campus of TCAT (Tennessee College of Applied Technology) Memphis where secondary and post-secondary students of all ages will be able to work, earn and learn. For more than a year I’ve worked closely with Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald, the Greater Memphis Medical Device Council, Bartlett Chamber, TCAT Memphis, the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and others to make this a reality. TCAT Memphis, under the direction of Roland Raynor with additional funding by the City of Bartlett and the Haas Foundation, will utilize this grant to create a stateof-the-art advanced manufacturing training facility. The November 16th, 2016 announcement of funding for the new Institute under a $4 million grant from the State of Tennessee coincides nicely with the 150th Anniversary celebration of the City of Bartlett, the state’s 10th largest city. One of the reasons for Bartlett’s strong growth,
BARTLETT
INSIGHTS
By State Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris
in addition to its conservative leadership, is Tennessee’s strong economy. The Brookings Institution recently ranked Tennessee No. 1 in the U.S. for advanced industry job growth. Nearly 344,000 Tennesseans work in manufacturing and, since 2010, Tennessee has gained more than 45,400 net new manufacturing jobs, the fifth-largest increase in the U.S. Another reason is that Bartlett and Shelby County are home to some of the leading orthopedic medical device industries in the world. Shelby County has more medical device manufacturers and suppliers than almost any county in the United States. The medical device industry is Tennessee’s largest exporter responsible for 17,000 local jobs. It contributes $2.6 billion to the economy and some $46 million in annual revenues to state and local governments. Yet Tennessee, like most states, is short on skilled workers adequately trained in advanced manufacturing and precision production. Closing the “skills gap” is one of my top priorities. The Tennessee Higher Education Commission has identified an annual deficit of 4,557 qualified Tennesseans to fill jobs within the precision production sector. When Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald and the Greater Memphis Medical Device Council first came to me in 2015, they clearly articulated the need – and the opportunity. Our ability to seize the opportunity as a state is due to our conservative, yet creative, ability to respond when opportunity knocks. As citizen legislators, we are close to our constituents and more cognizant of our community’s needs. This facilitates the type of collaboration we have seen in making this dream come true. Under Tennessee’s Drive to
55, the state’s goal to get 55% of Tennesseans equipped with a college degree or certificate by the year 2025, I spearheaded LEAP – the Labor Education Alignment Program – which laid the groundwork and provided some of the initial funding for October’s opening of the new Advanced Manufacturing Center at Bartlett High School. This is where dual enrollment and training in basic machining begins. It will help assure high school graduates qualified to enroll at the new Institute. Thanks to the additional autonomy and flexibility afforded under the FOCUS Act (Focus on College and University Success) which I sponsored and passed earlier this year, we are able to custom-build the curriculum and provide funding for the training required by the private sector. By creating an industry-driven training institute in Bartlett, the new facility will not only help to close the skills gap by completing the training of approximately 240 Tennesseans annually in three high demand programs focusing on the medical device sector. It will also support Tennessee’s Drive to 55 initiative by adding approximately 1,600 post-secondary credentials by 2025. Most importantly perhaps, it will provide existing industries with a pipeline of workers they need to sustain and expand their operations right here in Tennessee. The Bartlett success story is a good example of the way we keep Tennessee safe and strong. By working together we can help ensure a vigorous economy and assure that the medical device industry remains a vital part of that economy. A ready, skilled workforce is essential and the creation of the Medical Device Institute exemplifies what we can do, right here in Bartlett, for all of Tennessee.

OF THE YEAR
ach year the Bartlett Chamber recognizes an individual that has contributed to the growth of our community. An individual who has seized upon an opportunity and created a successful outcome that has benefited not only themselves and their family but numerous others by providing stable and fulfilling employment that in-turn leads to a sustainable environment. We recognize entrepreneurs because they are leaders, willing to take risks and to venture into unchartered waters. It is by far much easier to play it safe and be an employee in a proven and successful organization than it is to forge a new path as an employer. Some may
BARTLETT
INSIGHTS
question the importance of acknowledging the successful businessperson. There are a number of reasons why this Chamber is dedicated to enhancing the image of our members, a few of which are: A. Success in business is rare (8 out of 10 businesses fail within the first 18 months) • Reason #1: Not really in touch with customers • Reason #2: No real differentiation in the market or lack of unique value. • Reason #3: Failure to communicate value in clear, concise and compelling fashion. • Reason #4: Leadership breakdown at the top (founder dysfunction). • Reason #5: Inability to manage cash flow.

“Our business is faith based, we believe that God uses ordinary people for extra ordinary works. I believe that our employees are our greatest asset along with our customers. Without either, we are not Titan Medical.” B. Successful businesses grow the community and create wealth. C. New businesses replace the old which ensures the continuation of each new generation. D. Without business there would be no revenue for government, thus no services nor a rule of law. Too often we, in this country, take our economy for granted. We don’t appreciate the freedom that we enjoy to do business and sadly, too many people are being raised and educated without a real understanding and appreciation for just how difficult it is to succeed in a business venture and how society‘s very survival is dependent on free enterprise. This year, as in the past nine years, we are paying tribute to someone who has created a significant asset for Bartlett and Shelby County. Someone, who deserves our thanks and respect. Robert Kenyon was born nearby in Millington, TN, son of a navy professional, and grew up in Munford and Jackson, TN. The family moved to Dallas when Robert was still in high school and it was at South Grand Prairie HS that our entrepreneur became hooked on machining. It was a skill that was well suited for Robert…it took to him like a duck to water. In 1977 he began his career as a machinist in the defense contracting industry of the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. In 1979 he moved back to Jackson and worked in a large job shop for eleven years that focused primarily in the food industry. In ‘91 Robert moved to Memphis to work in a Job Shop that had a more diverse industrial clientele. It was in 1995 that Robert Kenyon had his first introduction to the medical device industry that would define his career. In October of that year Robert took a job with Premier Tool which was located here in Bartlett (now Odyssey Medical). He started out as a machinist and within 3 years became general manager. In 2003, an opportunity arose in which a group of local business people decided to enter the medical device industry. With Robert Kenyon, as one of its partners and its chief machinist, EMS or Engineered Medical Systems was created. The company grew rapidly and remains one of Bartlett’s largest medical device manufacturing employers. By 2009 Robert was ready for another change and with a couple of partners from West Texas, Titan Medical was formed. With modest beginnings within an industrial park just outside Bartlett, the company expanded each year and soon outgrew its existing facility. In 2014 Titan BARTLETT
INSIGHTS
acquired the old Radians facility on Bartlett Corporate Dr. to become another Bartlett based medical device manufacturer. Many who know Robert will say he is a man of few words but his action’s speaks volumes. Titan Medical’s first year was less than a million in sales, but six years on, Titan is approaching the $20 million mark. With 42 employees when they first moved to Bartlett, Titan has grown its staff within the last two years by nearly 70% to 68 today. These employees are highly skilled men and women in various areas including Machining, finishing, inspection, packaging and shipping. And because of the challenges in hiring pre-qualified workers, Titan does a lot of On-the-Job Training Robert is adamant in crediting the Titan team for his company’s success. For him the employees and their customers are Titan’s greatest assets. Overall Titan has over 20 customers, about 7 primary customers in the local area and another 15 or so scattered across the country and one international client. Like many of the medical device suppliers in the Memphis area, Titan Medical is a family owned and operated business. His wife, Donna, of 22 years is the CFO. His two sons work at Titan and are quickly learning the business and the daughter is in California working on a doctorate degree. Robert and Donna currently reside in Cordova but have purchased a site in Bartlett on Brunswick Road where they plan to build their new home. Every successful entrepreneur I have ever known seems to have a philosophy that keeps them focused and serves as a guiding principle. Robert is no different. “Our business is faith based, we believe that God uses ordinary people for extra ordinary works. I believe that our employees are our greatest asset along with our customers. Without either, we are not Titan Medical”. Robert is committed to the growth of the medical device industry and is a founding member of the Greater Memphis Medical Device Council and serves on its Board of Directors. He recognizes, through his own personal experience, the need for a sustainable pipeline of skilled workers and that without them the industry cannot prosper. Robert, along with his family and partners, has definitely made an impact on Bartlett and the medical device industry of Shelby County. Seizing opportunities at the right time and place have enabled Robert to fulfill his dreams and to be a leader in his community.
