Few would have begrudged former Ten-nessee Governor Phil Bredesen if he had taken a victory lap during his visit to the Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy last Tuesday. After all, as ETSU President Dr. Brian Noland pointed out, the independent col-lege that rests on a quiet corner of the VA Mountain Home Campus owes its existence to Bredesen and former ETSU President Dr. Paul Stanton. “This college would not be here were it not for his leadership and his vision,” Noland said. “So partially today was an op-portunity to say thank you to the governor and for him to see the legacy that has been established at Gatton.” But instead of taking a victory lap, Bre-desen opted to take a seat between Stanton and Noland in a conference room inside the College of Pharmacy building. And even though politicians are wont to pontificate on the issues – especially during a heated

campaign – Bredesen, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat Bob Corker is vacating, spent nearly 90 minutes on Tuesday morn-ing peppering the faculty and staff of the Gatton College of Phramacy with questions regarding the opioid epidemic and listening intently to their answers. “This opioid crisis is a huge problem in this state, and I think some of the very best work in the country is being done here at ETSU,” Bredesen said after the roundtable discussion wrapped up. “I wanted to come here and learn about it from the experts, and I’m really glad that Tennessee has something of this quality. The stuff they’re doing here ought to be very widely known across the nation.” Bredesen is hoping to join a Senate that is currently mounting a response to a national public health crisis that has hit the state of Tennessee particularly hard.

Last Thursday was truly a red-letter day for those gathered at Mountain Home National Cemetery. Cemetery director Jeny Walker and Dean Borsos – the director of the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center – welcomed Gold Star families, veterans, various dignitaries and the general public to the official opening of a new section of the National Cemetery. The event fell on Flag Day and the U.S. Ar-my’s 243rd birthday, which gave a noteworthy ceremo-

ny additional meaning to those in attendance. Randy Reeves, the VA Undersecretary for Memorial Affairs, gave the keynote address and Bill Darden, Senior Field Representative for Con-gressman Phil Roe, also offered remarks. The ETSU jazz ensemble provided the music while the Vietnam Veterans of America #979 Color Guard presented the colors and the American Legion #3 and #265 Honor Guard offered a three-vol-ley rifle salute.

Matthew Adkins, an Eagle Scout with Troop 237 and a recent Science Hill High School graduate, decided last spring he wanted to build a picnic pa-vilion at Willow Springs Park, where he spent much of his formative youth. Adkins – along with City officials, Johnson City Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members, scouts and others – celebrated the completion of the 20-by-20 amenity with a ribbon cutting last Wednesday. “I’d like to thank City Manager Pete Peterson and Parks and Recreation Di-rector James Ellis for the opportunity,”

Adkins said. “I also want to thank Parks and Recreation employee Rich Ma-rosites for his guidance and help with construction.” After sifting through several sugges-tions from City Manager Pete Peterson about projects that would help the city, the 18-year-old hit on the idea. Adkins and seven members of his troop began construction about eight months ago. Others helped, including family, friends and city employees. The project cost $3,300, with Adkins receiving $2,100 in donations.

The James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center recently an-nounced that its nursing home received 5-stars as part of its annual perfor-mance rating. James H. Quillen VAMC’s announcement comes after VA extend-ed its unprecedented 18-month record of transparency disclosures by making public for the first time its annual nursing home ratings for every facility in the country. The data show that, overall, VA’s nurs-ing home system – com-posed of more than 130 community living centers – compares closely with

private sector nursing homes, even though the department on average cares for sicker patients in its nursing homes than do private facilities. In fact, the overall star rating for VA’s nursing homes compared to the 15,487 private sector nursing homes rated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows that VA has a significantly lower percentage (34.1 percent lower) of one-star, or low-est rated, facilities than the rest of the nation. Of note, 60 of VA’s nursing homes improved their quality score from last year to this year.

After announcing his in-tention to run for another term as the representative of Tennessee’s 1st Congres-sional District on Monday morning, Congressman Phil Roe dropped by the News & Neighbor Monday afternoon and explained what drove him to seek a sixth term in Washington D.C. Roe started by high-lighting some of the things he’s accomplished since taking his place in the U.S. House of Representatives in January of 2009. When he took office, Roe was the last person selected to the Veterans’ Affairs Com-mittee, leaving him 29th in seniority. He was also part of a Congress in which his Republican Party was outnumbered 257-178 by the Democrats. “We couldn’t stop anything,” Roe recalled. “But I just got in there, and I just went to work.” Persistence has certainly paid off for Roe, and his efforts to overturn a provision in the Affordable Care Act called the Independent Payment Advisory Board are a prime example of that. It took nearly eight years to ac-complish, but the bill he introduced along with Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-Cal.) sailed through the House last November and the IPAB was officially repealed in February of this

year when the new budget was passed. “I worked on that bill for 7 years and 11 months,” Roe said. “(The Indepen-dent Payment Advisory Board) is finally in the dust bin of bad ideas. I definite-ly stayed after it.” Roe steadily climbed through the ranks of the Veterans’ Affairs Commit-tee before being chosen as the Chairman in 2010, a post he holds to this day. Given his work on behalf of veterans, seeing the VA MISSION Act signed into law by President Donald

Trump late last month may be Roe’s crowning achieve-ment to this point. The bill was designed to improve veterans’ medical care, improve the VA appeals process and expand the GI Bill. But as Roe spoke about the VA MISSION Act, it became obvious that he saw the bill he helped shepherd from the halls of Capitol Hill to President Trump’s desk more as unfinished business than a signature accom-plishment. “It will be one of two things – it will either be trans-formational for the VA about how it provides care, or it will be another piece of paper in Washington D.C. with a signature on it if it is not implemented properly,” he said. In Roe’s view, the VA is at a critical juncture, and he believes his experience will be needed to ensure veterans are able to get the care they deserve. The VA recently signed a $10 billion contract for a new electronic medical system, and Roe said there is a lot riding on the success of the project. “The largest electronic health record implementation in the world is going to take place now with the VA,” Roe said. “I’ve already been out to Fairchild Air Force Base, and I’m going to say it was a bumpy roll out. I’m going to be kind to them. If the VA messes this up, it’s going to be a massive black eye. I’m setting up a small subcommittee in my committee that will do nothing but keep an eye on technology.” Among the other unfinished business Roe will focus on during his reelection bid is finding ways to lower the cost of healthcare, combatting the opioid epidemic and working to establish an immigration policy that secures our borders. The immigration issue has moved to the forefront of the national discussion as the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy has drawn attention to the fact that children are being separated from adults who are being arrested while trying to enter the United States illegally. Roe encountered a handful of protesters at his campaign kickoff on Monday morning, and he said Congress is likely to act on immigration reform sooner rather than later, citing a scheduled meeting with Presi-

dent Trump for the following day. While Congress will soon consider a bill by Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia as well as President Trump’s “four pillars” in the near future – both of which Roe said he will support - Roe is hoping to be part of more compre-hensive reforms down the road that will help address issues he sees in his home district. “The more comprehensive one goes into H2A – agri-culture workers – and we want to move that to the Ag Committee,” he said. “Over here at Scott Farms, they know how many people they need. Let them work with the Agriculture Department, not the Labor Department. The other one in our district that is really big over in Sevier County is the hotel/motel business. They need those workers in there, so those H2B visas, allow those to match the number of people you actually need.”

Garland Farms Crawfish Boil raises $38,000

Mary Duke Cooks! Sassy Southern CuisineThis salad highlights summer pro-duce. It tastes farm stand fresh and is a refreshing change from baked potatoes or rice.

Charred Corn and Tomato Salad

• 3 ears corn, husks and silks removed• 1 cup halved grape tomatoes• 1 cup diced red pepper, ¾-inch dice• 1 teaspoon minced garlic• 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper• Zest and juice of 2 limes• 3 tablespoons canola oil • 1 teaspoon full fat mayonnaise (I use

Duke’s mayonnaise)• ¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves• Garnish: ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions

(green part only)

Char corn on a grill or gas range. (I hold the corn with tongs and use the gas burner on my range. The corn pops and sounds

like popcorn popping then chars!) Cut corn from cob using a knife. Try to leave large pieces of corn intact. Set aside. In a small bowl mix garlic, jalapeno, zest, lime juice, oil, mayonnaise, and cilantro with a wire whisk. Set aside. Layer corn, tomatoes, and red pepper in 2 layers on a serving platter. Drizzle dress-ing on top of vegetables instead of stirring dressing into vegetables. (Stirring breaks up the corn and does not look as pretty as leaving the corn intact.) Makes 4 servings.

Becoming Aware Hearing Aid Won’t Help

Julia Looney, HISNu Hearing Centers

Johnson City • 282-4327Bristol & Kingsport

Many patients that benefit and have improved quality of life with Widex hearing aids’ have unfortunately been told by other hearing aid companies and audiologists “they can’t be helped” or “hearing aid won’t help”.

It appears some of these companies and individuals just want the “easy” patients or “sure things”.

Often perhaps, “ego” or “reputation” seems to get in the way of helping the patient by referring them to Nu Hearing Centers where the patient could benefit from exclusive technology and training not available at any other center.

If you or a loved one has been told “can’t be helped”, call Nu Hearing Centers for a second opinion.

With opioids ravaging our communities, it’s critical we use every available resource to fight this deadly epidem-ic. Did you know that 80 percent of opioids prescribed in the world are prescribed in the United States? According to the Tennessee Department of Health, in 2016 alone, 1,186 people died from opioid over-doses. In fact, in 2016, we lost more people to opioid-related deaths than we lost in combat during the entire Vietnam War. Opioids have become one of the leading causes of death in the

United States, and this is a clear sign that we have to aggres-sively address this crisis. Over the next two weeks, the House will consider dozens of bills to expand treatment and recovery options; increase overdose and misuse prevention; protect communities by giving law enforcement the resources they need to get these dangerous drugs out of our communities; and better fight ever-expanding and changing synthetic drugs. You can read more about our efforts at www.opioidcrisis.gop. These bills follow a significant infusion of funding that was received as a result of this year’s funding bill, which provided $4 billion in opioid-related funding. One of the bills we are considering this week, Jessie’s Law,

introduced by Rep. Tim Walberg (MI), will ensure doctors are made aware of a patient’s prescribing history so that patients with a history of addiction can avoid being given opioids. The law is named after a young woman who was a recovering addict and was prescribed opioids following a running injury, which ultimately led to her death. So many of the stories you hear about opioid overdoses are all the more tragic because they are entirely preventable. President Trump is taking this epidemic very seriously and already declared it a “national public health emergency,” which designates federal agencies to devote more resources to help states fight this crisis. This March, the president also discussed the White House Opioid Initiative, which is designed to reduce drug demand through education, awareness and preventing over-prescribing; to cut off the flow of illicit drugs; and to expand opportunities for recovery and treatment. In addition, the Office of National Drug Control Policy recently launched a campaign targeted at preventing the misuse of opioids among youth and young adults. It’s clear this issue is a priority for the president, and I thank the Trump administration for their commitment to addressing this epidemic that is affecting East Tennessee especially hard. Opioids aren’t only affecting adults. This week, the First Lady and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released information on the health care costs associated with the births of babies suffering from neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). NAS occurs when a baby experiences the withdrawal effects of an addictive drug that he or she was exposed to in the womb. As a physician who delivered nearly 5,000 babies, I rarely saw a case of NAS in my practice. Now, East Tennessee has the highest rate of NAS in the state. According to the Tennessee State Government, in 1999, there were around 50 opioid NAS babies; however, in 2016, there were over 1000 NAS babies. This is a heartbreaking statistic; one I fear is often overlooked as we debate the best ways to curb and prevent opioid abuse and overdoses around the country. The opioid epidemic is plaguing individuals and families all across America and in East Tennessee. I’m proud President Trump and Congress are working through solutions to this ter-rible problem in our country, but the solution won’t come from one place. We must work together with local and state agencies in order to tackle this devastating crisis, and I look forward to continuing to do just that. Feel free to contact my office if I can be of assistance to you or your family.

A few years ago the immigration department announced a new set of cit-izenship questions for legal immigrants. They felt the current set of 100 questions was too easy and not intro-spective enough. After last year’s hard winter there are more Yankees than ever moving south.

Since his visit, the bill was approved unanimously by the Senate Health, Educa-tion, Labor and Pensions Committee and has been added to the legislative calendar. Like Alexander, Bredesen was clearly on a fact-finding mission when he came to Johnson City last week to probe the faculty and staff of the pharmacy school for the latest information on effective treatment meth-ods for those addicted to opioids. Bredesen was briefed on treatment options, which included an update on the effectiveness of medica-tion-assisted treatment, but he was clearly most excited about some of the ideas presented during the roundtable that focused on preventing addiction. “I think prevention is always the best. It’s less expensive and has far less human cost, obviously. My first line of defense has always been prevention.”

Bredesen mentioned em-ployee assistance programs designed to give workers a low-barrier, confidential way to seek help quickly before a small struggle with opioids becomes a full-blown addiction as a proactive approach. He was also excited about some measures designed to curb the overprescription of opioids. “I come to this process of running for Senate out of an executive background,” Bredesen said. “I’ve been CEO, mayor or governor, so I tend to think of these things in terms of ‘I want to do something’ as opposed to ‘let’s do a study or let’s pass a law.’ I got some good ideas here today about how you might really make some changes that would espe-cially help people not get hooked in the first place.” Dr. McKenzie Calhoun, an assistant professor at the college, told Bredesen an effort has been made to change the culture among

doctors in our area when it comes to prescribing opi-oids. She cited the progress Ballad Health has made in reducing the amount of opioids prescribed at its hospitals. “We started an opioid task force here about two years ago, and we’ve seen a 40-percent reduction in the prescription rate for opioids in the hospitals,” Ballad CEO, president and executive chairman Alan Levine said during Alexan-der’s visit to the Niwsonger Children’s Hospital in April. “Our ERs have a 26-percent lower rate of prescription for opioids than the national average, and this year, we’re seeing about a 17-percent decrease from even prior years.” While progress is being made, an overriding theme during last week’s roundtable was that the opioid epidemic is too big of a problem to be solved through legislation or edu-cation alone. As Alexander

admitted while talking about his bill, a “moonshot” from Capitol Hill won’t be enough. “There’s not one single profession that alone can combat this epidemic,” Noland said afterward. “It’s physicians, it’s pharmacists, it’s physical therapists, it’s occupational therapists, it’s educators. All facets of the community are involved in outreach, treatment and prevention.”

Johnson City Cardinals gear up for the Appalachian League season

Millennials are different, but still right on course

After a year away from Johnson City, the former assistant general man-ager of the Johnson City Cardinals is back for his first season as the general manager, and Zac Clark couldn’t be more excited. Since he was an-nounced as the new GM last November, Clark has been busy putting togeth-er an exciting promotion-al schedule for the upcoming Appala-chian League season and overseeing his team as they completed the laundry list of tasks necessary to get TVA Cred-it Union Ballpark ready for another summer of minor league baseball. The organization even unveiled new logos over the offseason. Sunday night’s FanFest was a finish line of sorts for Clark and his team, a chance to watch this year’s team interact with fans a couple days before Opening Day. “I wish I had a couple more days, but overall, we’re ready,” Clark said. “Once we set up FanFest, we knew the ball-park would be ready to go. We’re excit-ed. This is kind of a cherry on top for us to know we’re ready for the season.” Clark worked side-by-side with for-mer GM Tyler Parsons, who departed

at the end of last season. He has seen his share of good rosters in Johnson City, including a pair of teams that won league championships in 2014 and 2016. With St. Louis’ first-round draft pick Nolan Gorman leading the way, Clark is excited about the talented roster of players that will take the field this season. “Looking at the roster St. Louis sent us, year in and year out they always send us a really competitive roster,” Clark said. “The product on the field is going to be just as exciting as the prod-uct off the field. When that happens, it’s a great marriage.” Indeed, Clark and his team have put together another fun promotional schedule this season. There will be five postgame fireworks shows (July 3, 13, 27 and Aug. 10, 25) to go along with

several giveaways and themed nights. The Cardinals open their home sched-ule Friday night against the Kingsport

Mets. For a full list of promotions and information on tickets, visit www.jccardinals.com.

I love to listen to golfers talking in the pro shop. It is amazing what you take in when you spend more time with perky ears than a loose tongue. Family issues, health problems, religious beliefs, political views, no issue is off limits. Given the right setting many people will not hesitate to open up with their thoughts, suggestions and opin-ions. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes it’s bad, but it is almost always entertaining. Seniors are the most fun to listen to. They have reached an “I don’t care” stage in life that affords them the confi-dence to openly pontificate on most any issue. It typically does not matter who is listening or their expertise on the topic, they are ready to share their viewpoints. What I have found is that it is usually wise to listen and take advantage of their wis-dom and past experiences. One area where I do not pay as much attention is when the conversation turns to today’s youth. “All they do is sit around, play video games and punch buttons on those phones.” They will rattle on like this for a period of time with the frustra-tion in their voice escalating with each comment. For kicks, I will wait a little bit then ask, “So how are your grandchildren doing?” Quickly they reply about how great they are doing, what good kids they are and how proud they are of how they have turned out. I think the moral to that story is that once you get to know and under-stand the millennial generation they are pretty impressive. Make no mistake; millennials see the world a little different than those of us beyond that generation. And regardless if that is good or bad, the world is start-ing to shift a little to accommodate their vision. We see it in how industries market

their products; we see it in our changing church services; we see it in how companies recruit and retain their workforce, and yes, we are seeing it in golf. Everything in today’s society revolves around time, and millennials have

little to spare. As a result, when they do get free time it is going to be full of activities that are fun, stress-free and involve friends and family. To attract this new millennial market segment, golf facilities are going to have to offer an experience that is quicker, easier, more fun and less demanding than the traditional golf experience. They want to show up, have some fun and go home. You are going to see games on the driv-ing range, shorter holes, less than 9-hole rounds, music playing from carts and, in general, events that cater more to the social experience than the golf. Don’t despair – courses will always offer the traditional experience many of us were brought up on. But I think you are going to see the “loosening up” of the game. I honestly think that as this happens golf will only grow in popularity. I think you will see “fun seekers” become more serious and the traditional hardcore golfers relax a little. I am a huge fan of the millennial gener-ation. They are smart, passionate about enjoying life and they understand the value of relationships. I think our country could benefit with more of this type of thinking, so I hope they are successful. I just hope we overlook the few quirks they have and give them a chance to make a difference, and that includes giving them a little leeway at the golf course too. Mike Jennings is the head golf profes-sional at Pine Oaks Golf Course. For more information on instruction or events at Pine Oaks, call (423) 434-6250.
