Carson enters District 14 state house race ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
The same motivation that led Karen Carson to run for Knox County Board of Education representative in 2004, “seeing a need for service,” has led this Concord resident into the world of partisan state politics. Carson, a third-term School Board representative currently serving District 5 (including Farragut public schools), announced late last week she
was a candidate to fill the vacant District 14 State Representative seat last held by new state Republican Party Chairman Ryan Haynes. A special Carson primary election Wednesday, Aug. 12, has been set up to fill Haynes’ seat. Special General
Election is Tuesday, Sept. 29. “The more that I try to deal with some of the educational issues that we’re dealing with today, a lot of the real struggles that we’ve had have come from changes at the state level,” Carson, a Republican, said. “So it’s keyed me in more to the importance of what our state legislators do. “As I’ve been watching, more and more I hear politicians focusing in on what’s wrong at the county, state and national
level instead of focusing on, ‘What are the solutions to the problems we face?’” Carson added. “And I think this has caused us to get into a rut of people digging into a position and we’re not solving the problems. “So I just believe that I can be, I guess, more proactive in getting the focus back on, ‘What are the potential solutions?’ I think our elected leaders need to do that.” A pediatric nurse for 35 years, Carson said, “I think I have a lot
to offer just with my experience in education and health care. And those are obviously two areas that take a tremendous amount of financial resources. And two areas where we still have work to do. “I have said frequently on the board, I think that corporate reform was a necessary push to get the changes in education that we have to do,” she added. “… We need to have that corpoSee CARSON on Page 5A
Bass, Jefferson debut two new books ■

Dr. William Bass, nationally known forensic anthropologist, and noted writer Jon Jefferson, writing as Jefferson Bass in the Body Farm fiction series, captured the audience’s attention at Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce’s Speaker Series Breakfast as they talked about one of their newest books. The event, which was part of the Chamber’s 2015 speaker series, took place Tuesday, June 9, at Fox Den Country Club. Part of the proceeds from the event benefited Volunteer Ministry Center, which facilitates permanent supportive housing for the homeless. At the event, Bass and Jefferson signed their newest book, “The Breaking Point,” and introduced another book coming out, “Identity Crisis.” Bass said the Chamber breakfasts are a great place to premier their books. “The Farragut Chamber mem-
bers have been great supporters,” he said. “These [presentations] are a ritual,” Jefferson said. “Through the years, they have been kind of a kick off for us. It has been great. The Chamber always makes us feel welcome.” “I loved it,” Chamber member Andrew Hartung said about the duo’s presentation. “[Bass] always has a way of holding someone’s attention and discussing bones on an early morning like this,” Chamber member Keith Meese said. “This was my first time,” Chamber member Sonia Holas said about attending the presentation. “This was excellent. They made it fun.” No sooner did Bass and Jefferson have “The Breaking Point” on the bookshelves than they had “Identity Crisis,” a short nonfiction book, follow June 15. “Identity Crisis” delves into a 1978 cold case of an Anderson See BASS on Page 4A

Beginning around 8 a.m., Monday, June 22, one lane of Grigsby Chapel Road — from its intersection with North Campbell Station Road to roughly East Fox Den Road — will be closed intermittently for resurfacing of all lanes. “There’s a time restriction on any lane closures, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. [Monday through Friday] so that no work will be done at night to disrupt the residents trying to sleep,” David A. Sparks, Town assistant engineer, said. “… They’re going to grind up the old pavement and put [new] back on. … Rebuild it to give it better structure because it’s failing in places.” No work will take place Friday, July 3. Estimated completion of work is mid-July, according to a Town press release. However,

Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen started the ball rolling on making improvements to Everett Road. The Board approved a bid and a contract for the work for McKinnon Construction Company LLC, which bid $3,331,706.30, during its meeting Thursday, May 14. The company was the low bidder with Jones Brothers Inc. bidding $3,702,243.30 and APAC Harrison Construction bidding $3,925,070.38, Town engineer Darryl Smith said. “The project was identified as a priority by the Town in 2007, when the Town entered into agreements with the original developers of the subdivision that has since become Split Rail Farm,” Smith said.
“The project includes reconstruction of .94 miles of Everett Road with two 12-foot lanes, curb and gutter, sidewalk and greenways.” As part of the project, the Board approved a proposal from Qk4 Inc. to provide inspection services on the Everett Road improvement project. “This is the largest capital improvement project ever fully funded by the Town, and the largest roadway construction project to be managed by our own staff,” Smith added. “Please understand that while our Engineering staff has a broad engineering experience with various types of construction, we believe it is in the best interests of the Town to employ a professional See EVERETT on Page 2A

engineering company to perform the construction inspections, materials testing and provide assistance to the Town with contract administration, thus ensuring the quality of the final project,” Smith added. On a related matter, the Board approved an agreement with Knoxville Utilities Board to relocate gas facilities along Everett Road. Smith said gas line relocation was required as part of the Everett Road improvement project. Smith said the funding was already budgeted for utilities relocation. “Virtually all major roadway projects require adjustments and relocations of utility lines to accommodate the new roadway,” he said. “While this work is often completed by the utilities’ own forces or under their own separate contracts, combining their work with the roadway contractor’s work can often lead to a much more efficient operation.”
The agreement includes a provision that KUB will deposit $610,352.50, the actual bid for the work, into the Town’s accounts before the notice to proceed so the Town will see no cost, Smith said. “KUB inspectors will be onsite and will approve payment requisitions as the work proceeds,” he said. In other business, the Board approved unanimously: • Ordinance 15-06, which amends the Town’s budget equipment fund to add $10,000 to that fund, currently at $60,000, to purchase a newer bucket truck. Subsequently, the Board approved unanimously the purchase of a 2010 Dodge 5500 truck for $67,210. • A resolution to update the Town’s Occupational Safety and Health Program plan. • A certificate of compliance for Dixie Lee Wines & Liquors, which adds the name of Fred Andrew Taylor as co-owner on the retail liquor store license application.

I had a quadruple bypass. And throughout the whole process, including my cardiac rehab, I got excellent care. My wife agrees. She’s a retired nurse.

• Please [inaudible] use your imagination: a tagline is a branding slogan to market the Town. “Live Close” suggests that we live in proximity to Knoxville, Oak Ridge, UT, the Smokies, recreational activities and the Interstate. “Go Further” suggests, perhaps pompously, that by living in Farragut one can go further and pursue satisfaction or happiness. Your suggested slogan, “Live Better Go Further” is just another way of saying, “live well and prosper.” An amusing riff on a famous [inaudible] saying, but one that could easily be inverted by the rest of Knox County into, “We’re prosperous so we live better.” I’ll take a tagline that is grammatically challenged, and perhaps a little silly, over one that reinforces an image that silly, snooty people live here. • After reading last week’s farragutpress, my thoughts turn to Yogi Berra, who famously said, “It’s déjà vu all over again.” More than five years ago, if memory serves me correctly, the Town whiffed on Impact Fees and recycling. Let’s hope they correct past mistakes. • Village Green homeowners, please read and pay attention to the proxy ballot that you were just sent by the homeowners association. As all Village Green homeowners know, the HOA is pushing a very controversial project for a major rebuilding of one of the pools, tennis courts and other nearby improvements that would entail a special assessment paid by each homeowner of $3,000, or $400 annually over eight years. And that assumes that their $1 million cost estimate is accurate, and
we all know how that goes. It also doesn’t address the other pool, which will need major work in the next eight years. Please be aware who you sign your proxy vote over to. Make sure it is someone who you know will vote in the way you intended, and if you leave the appointed name blank then the HOA president can use your vote any way they want. Is that really what you had in mind? My big problem is that the proxy package mailed to homeowners had the blank proxy ballot as the front page, leaving many busy residents not fully aware of the impact to just sign it over to the HOA without giving it a second thought. Nowhere in the explanations does it recommend residents attend the July 12 meeting for the vote and only use the proxy ballot if necessary. The whole process sounds a little slanted to me. Please read the entire proposal, ask questions, attend the July 12 meeting and, above all, be careful in using the proxy ballot. • To the farragutpress in regards to the vote in Village Green for assessments to the residents to build a swimming pool: It seems to me that the main reason a pool is being built is for the use of the swim team. I do not think that money needs to be assessed [to] residents for an outside person. I think the money should be spent for the residents and not the swim team. If the swim team wants a pool let them built it. • I got my proxy for the Village Green subdivision on major improvements and other things. I don’t understand why
we need to pay out $3,000 in one year, or $400 in eight years per household to do a new pool in the clubhouse, mostly for the swim team. It wasn’t long ago that we sank money into the South Monticello pool for the swim team. Why isn’t this good enough for them now? The board also said that the subdivision is over 40 years old and needs a lot of repairs. Why does it need to all be done all at once and why didn’t they have a building fund to pay for large projects? They knew about these things coming down the road at some time. You know the bill for all of this is going to go up as they start to work on it. • I’m calling about the Village Green Homeowners Association attempting to get approval for a whopping $8 million renovation of the pool and other things that is largely for the swim team. Most of our homes were built in the 1970s and started to need major renovation years ago because of their age. It takes a toll on the fair market value of our homes. Raising our annual assessments will put further pressure on the value of our homes. In addition, they keep saying that having a swim team raises the value of our property. I’ve never found that to be the case. I’ve talked to other realtors and that doesn’t factor into it. I think this whole thing is a sham being pushed by the swim team. • I’m calling about Village Green subdivision trying to put a large, additional assessment on all the residents just to build a larger pool for the swim team. I think the swim team should shoulder a lot of that burden,

and in our area and we have people like Dr. Bass to answer people’s questions and mysteries.” “It’s always amazing,” Steve Barnes with YMCA said. “I’m here every time [Bass and Jefferson] come here.” “I thought it was wonderful,” Marion Bayless, another attendee said about the presentation. “I remember that picture [of the deceased woman] in the newspaper.” Bayless said she liked how they put a lot of love into the research and made it interest-
ing. “And, they were able to laugh, even though [the case] took almost two years to solve,” she added. Bass, known for his research on human osteology and human decomposition and for founding the Body Farm at The University of Tennessee, and Jon Jefferson, author and TV documentary maker, teamed up in 2002. Jefferson said he met Bass while doing a documentary and writing a National Geographic article on the Body Farm.

especially for those non-Village Green swimmers. If they need a larger pool, well, they should have major fundraisers for it. Non-swim team families should not have to burden this expense. And I never understood the need for two pools when they’re less than a mile apart. • I read in the paper that the apartment complex is approved. Evidently they didn’t care what all the people that attended the meetings said. Looks like it’s all about the money. I don’t think they looked into all the homes and the subdivisions on Smith Road and Grigsby Chapel. The people who live in the apartments will make a right turn on Kingston Pike and another on Smith Road to get to Parkside Drive and the Interstate. And I wonder how many accidents will happen with all the homeowners trying to get out of the subdivisions [including going] to work or to take kids to school. Why not use that property for something all of Fox Den could use? You could have a wonderful park and a place for cookouts where the people of Farragut could use [it]. Swings and slides and other things for children. There are many things that could be done other than the apartments. • I am a member of Gold’s Gym. I live in Lenoir City. Last night I came to Farragut to the one on Kingston Pike and Canton Hollow Road. My truck’s door lock was busted and my Alpine stereo system was stolen. It not only took police an hour to get there, but the one that did come said I should have filed a report over the phone.

“underground water that’s been coming up through the pavement. … A project right before this, we installed some underdrains to capture underground water.” With the previous repavement of this stretch of road coming “about 10 years ago,” Sparks said the under-drains should help this repavement and restructuring last even longer before needing future repairs.
He then said it had to be someone I knew. He also asked me questions that had nothing to do with my vehicle being broken into. He asked me for my [Social Security number] and where I worked. I was not sure how this had anything to do with my stolen radio or the fact that I can’t park my car there without it being broken into. I was then told to estimate the damage to my vehicle and the price of the radio. I would not know either of these, I know the price of the radio at the time of purchase but that was about 10 years ago. Also, I am not into the “car key hole” business and have no clue what it would cost to fix the damage to my car’s key hole. Gold’s says it is not their parking lot, and they do not surveillance. This area is becoming crime riddled from cars being stolen from Turkey Creek to cars being broken into on Kingston Pike. Apparently no one cares if you got it honest and they definitely don’t care if you have it taken from you. • It appears that [our local telephone company] is trying to earn a lower customer service rating than [one of the largest cable companies]. I was on hold for over 26 minutes to report a service problem before giving up in frustration. At least it won’t be long before the streaming services are ready for prime time. • I’ll wager that the New York Department of Prisons has cancelled all future screenings of “The Shawshank Redemption.”
Sparks advised motorists to avoid the area “during rush hour periods” — roughly 8 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. — and enter Grigsby Chapel from the Kingston Pike-Smith Road intersection. “We realize it’s an inconvenience on the traveling public,” Sparks said. Grigsby Chapel Road west of East Fox Den Road intersection “is in good shape,” Sparks said.

11422 Kingston Pike, in Farragut. An undercover detective was sent in to the location. Upon entry to the business there were two State of Tennessee Massage Therapy licenses posted on the wall, which were plainly visible to patrons. The undercover detective paid the defendant for a 90 minute massage and table shower. The defendant performed a table shower and massage on the undercover detective. On June 4 at around 11:41 a.m., detectives with the Knox County Vice Unit went to the listed location to perform a license check on the business. The defendant did not have the required license to perform massage in the State of Tennessee. The defendant advised detectives she was the co-owner of the business. The defendant also had two unlicensed employees in the business at the time of arrest. The defendant was taken into custody for impersonating a licensed professional and transported to the Knox County Sheriff’s Detention Facility. • On June 9, KCSO responded to the initial report of a burglary of a residence off Crippled Mule Point in Farragut.

The victim advised that he is missing two pieces of jewelry that his wife had in a jewelry box under the bed in the master bedroom. According to the victim the alarm was armed and ready, but the suspect broke the connector on the lower right portion of the front door that would have signaled the alarm that the door was open. Value of the loss is $8,500. • On June 12, a representative of Belk department store in Farragut advised on June 12 at around 2 p.m., the suspects took multiple items from the store. The complainant stated the suspects selected the items and ran from the store before they could be confronted and stopped. The complainant believes the suspects had a male with them to be a distraction but they were unsure of his role in the incident at the time of report. The complainant was transferred to communications to have the surveillance footage picked up as evidence. Value of the loss was about $600. • On Saturday, June 13, at around 1:35 a.m., officers were dispatched to Barnsley Road on the report of a home burglary.

When she looked out the side entrance to the driveway, she observed an unknown male in a plaid shirt and khaki pants standing in the driveway looking in a vehicle. She ran upstairs and yelled at the man and said he was polite and apologized. He walked to a dark color “dually” pick up parked in the roadway. Officers observed a partial hand print on the driver side back door window of the Lexus SUV. The print was consistent with a person leaning against the window to look inside the vehicle. • On June 14, a Walgreens representative advised KCSO several items were taken from Walgreens by two female suspects between 12:20 and 12:24 p.m. The two suspects entered the store, removed the items from the shelf, and exited the store without attempt or intention to pay. Suspects were seen leaving the area in a gray 2000 Mazda driven by the male suspect.

Farragut area parks are currently experiencing an increase in thefts of owner’s cars, Capt. Brad Hall, Knox County Sheriff’s Office liaison for Farragut, said. “Unlocked vehicles are the biggest villain,” Hall said, adding many of these burglaries occur because owner’s cars are unlocked and their personal items are in plain view in the vehicle. Since 2010, residents can track burglaries and other crimes in their communities with a website from which they can link onto the Sheriff’s Office website — RAIDSOnline.com. Hall said he wants to make Farragut residents aware they can link onto that website. “I get phone calls all the time about crime in the area,” he said. “I want to let people know there is a website they can go.” “There’s nowhere you can escape crime,” Capt. Robert Hubbs, KCSO Crime Analysis and Information Technology Division, said. RAIDSOnline.com gives citizens free access to timely crime maps and daily crime e-mail
alerts. Hall said residents can link to RAIDSOnline.com by going to the Sheriff’s Office’s website, knoxsheriff.org, and clicking on the link, “Crime Map of Knox County,” which takes them to that website. Once there, they can create an account and an alert on their home address, he said. Similarly, neighborhood watch groups can use the site to make themselves aware of crime in and around their neighborhoods and take measures to prevent crime, Hubbs said. “The sheriff’s goal was to put some emphasis on neighborhood watch and crime prevention,” he said. The crime report updates used to be a 30-day cycle, which was behind the curve, he added. “This system here allows you to sign up for an alert,” Hubbs said. “Every day you get an email from them describing all the events that have happened in your neighborhood, and it’s updated hourly.” KCSO was one of the first agencies to participate in RAIDSOnline.com, joining 20 other counties and more than 1,000 law enforcement agencies. challenges of campaigning and taking part in whatever debate forums take shape.

LaMarche presents Adm. Farragut
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
George Farragut was the father of a familiar town namesake, plus the friend and military colleague of two other famed Tennesseans for which counties are named. That’s in addition to becoming a major landowner in Knox County in the 1790s, leading to the birth of his famous son in 1801. The father of James David Glasgow Farragut, George Farragut was born “in the Mediterranean Sea off the Spanish coast,” said Lou LaMarche, Farragut Folklife Museum docent and Farragut family expert who narrated a roughly 40-minute power point biographical presentation on both Farragut men in Town Hall boardroom. Dressed in an Adm. Farragut replica uniform, pictured left, LaMarche spoke to an audience of about 20 Saturday afternoon, May 2. Just as his son would do at roughly the same age in the early 1800s, George Farragut “goes to sea in the Spanish Navy at 10 years old,” LaMarche said. “In 1776 he knew about what was going on here in the United States with respect to The Revolutionary War, and he was an advocate of this United States, he wanted to come here so he did,” LaMarche added. “So he came to Charleston [S.C.] he fought in the Revolution.

part of the forces that tried to take Savannah [Ga.]. And the British beat them down there.” “… He went back to Charleston and stayed there at the seize of Charleston and became a prisoner of the British. “After the [prisoner] exchange between the British and the Americans, George went up with John Sevier and fought in the Battle at Camden, S.C. and also at Kings Mountain. Became very good friends with him.” In 1782 “he was promoted to captain in the North Carolina Cavalry,” LaMarche said. “… After the war he went west, he became a surveyor and a farmer in what [was] called Washington District, N.C.,” now “part of East Tennessee.” “He met William Blount, and [Blount] commissions him as a major in what was the Washington Cavalry, which became the Tennessee Cavalry at that time,” LaMarche added. “… In 1793 John Sevier had a campaign against the Cherokee Indians. What happened is the Cherokee had slaughtered a group of settlers in East Tennessee. “They traced the Cherokees into Georgia, and they whipped them up pretty good.” In 1794, Sevier gave Jorge Farragut “the job as keeper of inspection of arms, and that was near Knoxville,” LaMarche said. “In 1794 [Jorge Farragut] purchased lots in Knoxville from James White, a name familiar to
all of you. Then he purchased 200 acres in Knox County from a guy named Thomas King. And then he purchased 380 acres in Grassy Valley, Knox County.” Marrying Elizabeth Shine in 1795, “In 1796 he purchased two other tracts of land in Knox County,” LaMarche said. “During that same year he started selling off some of this land. This is when he purchased 640 acres on the north bank of the Holston River.” The birthplace of James David Glasgow Farragut, his father “built a 20-by-40-foot cabin at Stony Point, which is called Lowe’s Ferry,” LaMarche said. “At Lowe’s Ferry he ran a ferry there. And there is where four of his children were born [James David Glasgow the second of those four].” George Farragut moved to the New Orleans area in 1807, four years after the United State completed The Louisiana Purchase. “They asked George if he would go down to New Orleans and help as a sailing master,” LaMarche said. To make the move required family members to endure a “two-and-half month” ride on a raft from the Tennessee River “up to the Ohio, from the Ohio to the Mississippi, and from the Mississippi down to New Orleans,” LaMarche said. “Twoand-a-half months with four children, and [Elizabeth] was [pregnant] with the fifth child. She had to be a real strong woman to do that.”

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Greg McGraw was full of praise after winning Fox Den Country Club Senior Club Championship late Sunday morning, June 14. “I love this golf club, and the greens were fantastic. They’ve got to be the best in the state,” said McGraw, finishing 1-over par for 36 holes during the twoday championship (74-71-145) for club members ages 50 to 64. “I hit the ball very solid today. Made a big putt on No. 9 to make the turn at two-under. Just tried to cruise on the back [nine holes].” Final round playing partners David Bunn and Garry Siddons, both of whom finish tied for second (149), “Made for a great threesome,” McGraw, 56, said. “Both are first-class players. I play with David quite often. It was special playing with those guys.” Other top finishers were Tim Patterson, Senior Net Division champ; Ron Kilgore, Tom Foree Cup (ages 65 and above) Gross Division champ, and Dennis Falls, Tom Foree Net Division

An 80-year-old log cabin hidden in the woods off Kingston Pike in Farragut has a new lease on life and a new purpose. Daniel Feehan and Christian “Chris” Johnson, both Farragut residents, purchased the property at 12604 Kingston Pike, across from Everett Road, a couple of months ago to locate their business, Natural Roots Landscape & Design. “I’m super-excited to be here and have a business in Farragut,” Feehan, owner and lead designer, said. “It just meets all of our needs,” Johnson, lead project manager, said. They had been looking for a central location for 12 to 18 months, Johnson said. “We didn’t want an industrial piece of property,” Feehan said. “We wanted something unique.” “We had seen the property had come up for sale and went after it,” Johnson said. “We were able to lock it in and buy it. We love it. It’s a super-neat and very unique piece of property in the heart of

Annual Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo brings out family friendly competition ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Apparently 7-year-old Reid Vining is a chip off the old block in two regards. In reference to 31st Annual Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo and how it motives Reid’s father, Jaime Vining, “It’s a family friendly event but he wants to win,” Kristi Vining, Reid’s mother, said. “We’re all having fun but he’s the competitive one.” Reid, a first-grader at Farragut Primary School, seemed to match his father’s fishing skill and competitive nature Saturday morning, May 9, in the Fort Loudoun Lakefed pond at Anchor Park. His 17 fish caught was the most among more than 100 youth competitors from under age 6 to 13 during the 90-minute event. “We moved here last summer, this is our first year doing it,” said Kristi Vining, also joined at the Rodeo by daughter, Carly, and family friend, Abby Freshour. “We love to fish and we just wanted to participate. We’re really enjoying it. It’s a great morning for it and a great way to spend time together.” Six other young fishermen were recognized for “Biggest Fish Caught” in six categories, including two relatives of event founder, the late Bob Watt. All seven winners earned a Regal Cinemas gift card.

Six of the seven children winners for “Biggest Fish Caught” in six age categories and “Most Fish Caught” overall show off their certificates during 31st Annual Bob Watt Fishing Rodeo in the Fort Loudoun Lake-fed pond at Anchor Park Saturday morning, May 9. Front row, from left, are Jaela Watt (girls age 6-andunder), Ellie Boertje (girls 7-9), Reid Vining (Most Fish Caught overall, 17) and Charlie Clarno (boys 10-13). In back are Keyton Watt (boys 7-9) and Brianna Cantrell (girls 10-13). Not pictured is Saddler Sims (boys 6-and-under winner).
Most of the Biggest Fish winning catches were catfish, which we stocked in the pond just prior to the rodeo: girls 6and-under winner, Jaela Watt (2.06 pounds); boys 6-andunder, Saddler Sims (2.79); girls 7-9, Ellie Boertje (2.67); boys 79, Keyton Watt (2.41); girls 1013, Brianna Cantrell (2.75), and boys 10-13, Charlie Clarno (2.30). Bennett Elton, 6, came close to a Biggest Fish award after catching a 2.5-pound catfish. “This is our first time at the Fishing Rodeo, but he’s an avid
fisherman. He’s been fishing since he was probably 2 years old,” Brian Elton, Bennett’s father, said. “We all like to fish.” This Farragut family also includes Bennett’s little brother, Brady, 4, who also was on hand trying his luck. Helping supervise was the boys’ mother, Valerie Elton. In his first-ever Fishing Rodeo, Sawyer Howard, 3, caught six catfish roughly halfway through the competition. See WATT on Page 9B

Slightly more than 200 participants in 24th Annual Wendy’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes Golf Classic, reaching right at six figures in proceeds, allow about three times as many children go to a Christian camp. “We hope to net right at $100,000,” Dwayne Sanders, FCA Knoxville area representative, said about the Wendy’s FCA event featuring an 18-hole best ball format, morning and afternoon session with three flights each, Monday, May 18, at Fox Den Country Club. “I think we’re right close to that.” Proceeds benefit “our Camp Scholarship Fund,” Sanders said, adding the roughly $100,000 raised “will take care of all our camp scholarships. We should have about 600 kids going to camp in the East Tennessee area.” Offering a number of different camping options, the goal is “making the camping experience easier on the family,” said Sanders, one of a half dozen Knoxville FCA staff plus “around 35 volunteers” running the tournament. “So we just basically say,

Responding to a request from Knox County Juvenile Court, Fox Den Country Club is helping make things easier for small children caught up in court matters. That’s in addition to the club’s year-round focus to help end breast cancer among its other charitable fundraisers. Inaugural FDCC Stuffed Animal Drive, which ran from April 4 through Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, collected more than 200 “new stuffed animals” following a request from Juvenile Court Judge Tim Irwin, said Jess Curtis, FDCC Communications & Administrative assistant. “That’s pretty much for when the little kids have to come up on the court and speak, they get to choose any [stuffed] animal of their choice before they go,” Curtis added. “If I got a stuffed animal I would be more comfortable speaking in front of
everyone. To make the kids fell as comfortable as they can in an uncomfortable situation.” Curtis said “more than 200” new stuffed animals were collected. They were displayed in club’s clubhouse rotunda. While a majority of those who donated were FDCC members, Curtis said others who regularly use the club as a meeting hub such as “bridge groups that come through” also donated. That’s in addition to “The Rotary [Club of Farragut] and Erisa services that have their meetings here,” Curtis added. Dave Largent, FDCC General manager and a friend of Irwin’s, delivered the stuffed animals to the judge Thursday, May 28. “Tim’s children grew up in the Catholic Schools System with my kids, so I’ve known Tim for probably 20-plus years,” Largent said. “His office actually contacted us a couple of months ago and said they were running low on Teddy Bears and See FDCC on Page 6B

Father, son share life of service ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
As Farragut’s Stormwater coordinator, Jason Scott oversees the Town’s water quality. Jason said his father’s life of service, his work ethic and support has helped shape Jason’s own destiny to serve others. “My dad has always worked very hard to achieve the things that he has and to get where he has,” Jason said about Lonnie Scott III. “My dad showed me that hard work, even in the face of mediocrity, complacency and laziness, will lift you up.” He tells his father today, “‘I love you dad.’ ‘I am the person I am today because of you,’ Jason said. ‘Any pride you feel about my good works are, in some very tangible ways, a reflection of how you raised me.’” Lonnie Scott III, who resides in Clarksville, spent nearly 30 years as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army, with the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Ky., before serving as a safety professional, leading Fort Campbell’s motorcycle safety program. “He became a pilot because he wanted to fly; he became a safety officer because he wanted to preserve life,” Jason said, adding his father’s commitment to service influenced Jason to follow a path of service. “He is hard-working and unwaveringly dependable,” Jason added about his father. “He is passionate about his work and

always true to his word. “Often, when I mention that my dad was in the military, people make assumptions that he would be incredibly structured with very traditional ideas about life and what I ought to do with mine,” he said. “The reality is that my dad has always been incredibly kind, empathetic and always encouraged me to pursue my passions; so while he never pushed me toward
a specific occupation, he always encouraged me to do what I love and it turns out that is what I ended up doing.” Jason said the words he heard from his father that touched his life the most are “I love you.” “Sometimes men are hesitant to express their love or affection towards their sons because it goes against some sort of arbitrary, dated construct of masculinity or

perhaps it just isn’t how they express themselves,” Jason said. “My dad has always been able to communicate his love and appreciation of me as a son and as a person, even during some of my more difficult teen years. I always knew that my dad loved me.” Lonnie Scott’s service to his country took him around the world to Korea, Somalia and Iraq, Jason Scott said. Even when his
father was not home, Jason said he felt his father’s presence. “He loves his family more than anything,” Jason said. “Growing up, my dad would get deployed with some frequency for what typically amounted to one-year blocks, but I never felt like I missed out on his love because he was always so present and available for his family when he was home.”

Two of Geoff Courtney’s favorite quality time memories with his father, Eddie Courtney, came alongside “The Old Ball Coach” himself: South Carolina Gamecocks Football head coach Steve Spurrier. With Geoff already following in his father’s footsteps as a high school football coach, “The best memories are, we’ll go out in the springtime … when all these colleges are in spring practice or they’re doing their clinics, and visit. We’ve been everywhere from Duke to UNC to Wake Forest to Clemson to South Carolina, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn,” Geoff said. “It’s one of the things I most look forward to every year.” Most recently, “We went to South Carolina and watched them practice one day and got to talk to coach Spurrier there,” Geoff added about a visit with Spurrier 10 years after he and his father first visited Spurrier, when Geoff was a Farragut High School junior, in 2005.

Four reasons you are still disorganized 1. You are denying disorganization is effecting your life in a negative way 2. You are comparing your organizational skills to reality show hoarders 3. You are blaming your family for the mess you’re in 4. You are minimizing the problem and the gifts you possess to solve them In Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) it speaks of the four defenses an alcoholic uses while he/she continues to drink. In Get Your Act Together, I wrote how SHEs (Sidetracked Home Executives) use the same defenses to remain in a mess. There is really no difference except for the outcome… drunk or disorderly. Like an alcoholic, once a SHE stops using the four defenses, she is then able to change. Could one of these de-fenses be holding you back from the life you want to live? Denial You probably don’t deny you’re in a mess, but I know when I was living in chaos, I acted like it didn’t bother me. Haven’t you heard the classic messy person’s excuse for a messy desk say, “I know where everything is on my desk!” Yeah right! Denial! I also remember a constant desire to get out of the house and go play. My three kids spent much of our time outside where I didn’t have to face the mess in the house. While at the park it was easy to deny I had a problem, but I always had to come home to the truth. Rationalization If you find yourself making excuses by comparing yourself to someone you know who is more disorganized than you, it probably makes you feel better, but it won’t help you change. Don’t watch those reality shows
featuring hoarders and extremely disorganized people. You are not like that. (If you are, my writing will not help you very much. The hoarders I’ve seen in my career h e l p i n g Pam SHEs have Young s e v e r e Make it mental disorders and Fun! I’m not a psychiatrist so I have no business trying to help those people. I think you just want to be organized just enough to have a neat, cozy, peaceful home to play in with your family. Projection Blame is a great defense. Blame the mess on the kids. Blame it on your husband. Blame it on your mom because she didn’t teach you. Blame will give you years of status quo. Minimization I’m guilty of minimizing disorganization, but mainly because I’ve learned that most of us SHEs make such a big deal about it, we can afford a little of this defense as long as we seek
to be organized just enough to please us. On the same subject, we SHEs tend to minimize our talents and God-given gifts of creativity, and fun-loving spirits. I knew in the depths of my pigpen days that if I used my creativity, I could get organized and have enough money to hire a person to help with the housework. If you’ve made the decision to get organized (I hope it’s going to be just enough to please you) and you drop your defenses, take on the project with joy. Decide to have fun getting organized. Treat it like a hobby. Ask for help from BOs who come by it naturally. Don’t’ allow anyone to cause you do doubt your ability to succeed. Get organized for selfish reasons…to be free to play, and enjoy the liberation of knowing you are on top of the game, not floundering somewhere underneath it. For more from Pam Young go to www. makeitfunanditwillgetdone.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized and ways to lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.

them five scholarships,” Sanders added. Sanders said he “believes” this was the 12th Wendy’s FCA event held at Fox Den. As for the 204 participants (51 teams), Sanders said, “If we average 25 [teams] a round that’s a great showing.” Among the event’s Eagle Sponsors was Horne Properties, Inc., whose owner, Doug Horne, also owns Republic Newspapers, Inc. (parent company of farragutpress). Top low score during the two rounds combined — a 54 from the foursome of Tommy Bryant, Wes Channell, Jordan Jennings and Payne Derma — earns these golfers a special opportunity. “They get to go to the National Scramble, it’s the TPC Sawgrass [course], it’s in Ponte Verde Beach, Fla., in mid-November. It’s where they play the Players Championship,” Sanders said. A 54-hole, three-day event, “They’ll be one of about 65 teams nationwide. … They’ll have a Net
Team winner and a Gross Team winner,” Sanders said. “One plays without a handicap and one plays with. “We’ve actually had a team from our group win it before,” Sanders added. Two years ago Phil Erwin … and his foursome won the national championship, so it was kind of neat.” Other winners during Wendy’s FCA event: A.M. Round First Flight champions, Mark Morrell, Bryan Good, Chuck Adkins, Joe Sponcia (57). Second Flight champs: Steve Best, Brian Lawhorn, Cam Humby, Randy Hamilton (64). Third Flight champs, Frank Slagle, Jay Slagle, Doug Mooney, Rob Carrico (67). Closest to the Pin winners A.M.

‘Positive’ Murray addresses Farragut Rotary
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A overview of economic conditions locally, statewide and nationally came from Dr. Matthew Murray, director of Howard Baker Center at The University of Tennessee with the Center For Business & Research in the Department of Economics. “The overall economic outlook is relatively positive,” Murray told The Rotary Club of Farragut as featured speaker during its Wednesday, May 27, meeting in Fox Den Country Club clubhouse. “Aftershocks” following the recession that started in December 2007 were felt to the point where “it was only last year where we saw employment for the national economy and employment here in Tennessee recover to the levels that prevailed before the recession started,” he added. Economic growth for the first quarter of 2015, as measured by gross national product, “did not come in as had been anticipated because of bad weather, it hurt automobile sales, it hurt the housing sector of the national and state economies,” Murray said. Savings from lower gas prices were not spent by consumers as had been anticipated during this period, Murray added. At the heart of slow growth in new housing. “Building permits continue to disappoint,” Murray said. “We’re really not close to where we were before the recession started in terms of building permits. … The reality is housing affordability is really good right now. It’s a good time to buy a home.” However, “Lots of young people, including my children, have

absolutely no interest in owning a home,” Murray added. “… I think young people saw that that investment didn’t always pay off. And young people have different tastes. They don’t want to mow a lawn, they don’t want to take care of a house.” Within East Tennessee, “We’re only at two-third the level” in terms of housing growth “going back to 2001,” Murray said. “A long way to go, but movement in the right direction.” Murray predicted a spike in interest rates “in September or October. The economy is strong enough to withstand a slow and steady increase in interest rates” thanks to factors including “an ongoing reduction in the unemployment rate.” Murray said poorer physical
health among Tennesseans “is contributing to relatively lower levels of income and relatively higher levels of unemployment.” However, the overall outlook for Tennessee “is one of decent economic growth over the course of the next couple of years. Job growth this year is around two percent,” Murray said. By rejecting Insure Tennessee, Murray said state lawmakers turned down $1 billion in federal assistance “and about 15,000 jobs that would have been created. … A huge economic impact that was forgone by Tennessee. “It would have provided health insurance to 250,000 to 300,000 Tennesseans,” Murray added. “There was no state money that was to go into funding of Insure Tennessee.”

Area children get a head start on reading ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut and other area children can get a head start on reading before the next school year with the summer reading program, “Heroes Read,” at Farragut Branch Knox County Public Library. “The biggest thing they keep up with is their reading skills over the summer,” said Marilyn Jones, library manager for the Farragut branch, 417 N. Campbell Station Road. Jones said the program, which started May 16 and continues through July 31, involves infants to 12-year-olds who are reading or are being read to over the course of the summer. “We ask [school-age children] to read 20 hours for the entire summer,’ she said, adding younger children can have someone read to them. For children who are starting to read on their own, the program can help them be ready to read when they start school, Jones said. Knox County Public Library has had a summer reading program for decades, Jones said. Besides having children read or someone reading to them, the program features story times for different age groups, craft projects and special visits from Knoxville Zoo or a magician. For example, Wednesday, June 3, children made superhero paper bag puppets, and June 10, magician Michael Messing performed. “It varies from week to week, what is going on,” she said.
Storytimes begin at 10:30 a.m., Mondays and Fridays for pre-schoolers ages 3 to 5; 10:30 a.m., Tuesdays, for preschoolers ages 4 to 6; 10:30 a.m., Wednesdays, for a Baby Bookworms group for infants to 2-year-olds and 10:30 a.m., Thursdays, for toddlers. The Farragut branch offers these programs Wednesdays. On Wednesday, June 17, children made superhero masks and cuffs; 11:30 a.m. June 19, Dr. Al Hazari will conduct a science project; 2 p.m., June 24, Knoxville Zoo will visit; 2 p.m., July 1, children will make koi fish streamers; 2 p.m., July 8, storyteller Laurie Fisher will visit; 2 p.m. July 15, children will make superhero capes; 2 p.m., July 22, children will make
paper lanterns and 2 p.m., July 29, the library will have a Harry Potter birthday celebration. “We just moved to the area,” Jianbing Nu said during a craft program June 3. “We were in Athens before, and [the library in Athens] had a summer reading program. I can’t wait to see what this one offers.” Rosie Dyar of Knoxville brought her grandchildren, Mya and Ian Hastings, to a program, Wednesday, June 3. “They are both avid readers,” Dyar said. “We go to different libraries each Wednesday to see which ones do the best of what [Mya and Ian] like to do.” For more information about the summer reading program, call 865-777-1750.
