Local DAR ceases pursuit of Farragut marker ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

After a few years of controversy, Lylan Fitzgerald apparently has won her battle with Bonny Kate Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, over rights to own and place Adm. James Davis Glasgow Farragut Monument.

This marker, dedicated in 1900, was located on Fitzgerald’s property close to what is considered Adm. Farragut’s birthplace in Stoney Point Farm along Fort Loudoun Lake in Concord,

before it went missing in fall of 2011.

According to Joyce Condry, regent for Bonny Kate Chapter, “The Bonny Kate Chapter DAR is no longer pursing the issue of the possession or placement of this Marker because the Chapter does not have the support of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution under which auspices the Chapter operates.”

Condry e-mailed a quote from what she said is a letter sent to Bonny Kate Chapter earlier this year from Ann Arnold Hunter,

NSDAR Historian General: “If the maker is located on private property, the property owner is the owner of the marker; we do not have the force of the law to require anyone to give up the marker. If the maker were located on public property, the DAR chapter might persuasively argue that it has authority over disposition of it.”

As a result “The matter of Adm. Farragut Marker is closed as far as the Bonny Kate Chapter DAR is concerned,” Condry said.

participate, she said.

“From the business perspective, the biggest benefit is the additional signage that they are allowed during the entire campaign period, and it ties back to the four special event signs that they are typically allowed per year for 10 days each,” she said.

“This does not impinge upon that time. They can still do their four special event signs throughout the year if they apply with the Town. The signage allowed during the Shop Farragut campaign is in addition to, above and beyond, what the Town allows each business, and instead of leaving it up for only 10 days, which is the period they’re allowed during the year, they can leave it up during that entire campaign period – Nov. 23 through Dec. 31 – and the $25 fee that is typically charged throughout the year is waived by the Town.”

The signs still must be compliant, See SHOP on Page 2A

Shop Farragut Holiday Campaign will take place from Nov. 23 through Dec. 31.

Shop Farragut Holiday Campaign is part of the Shop Farragut program, said Allison Sousa, Farragut Business Alliance executive director.

“Shop Farragut is a program in partnership with the town of Farragut and the Farragut Business Alliance to promote shopping in Farragut to both Farragut residents and to folks outside of Farragut in an attempt to bring them into the Town,” Sousa said.

In order to participate in the holiday campaign, businesses need to have a Farragut business privilege license and a complimentary listing on the FBA website, as well as complete the forms, available on the FBA website, she said.

Those ageless Love Sisters, 95-year-old twins Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner, haven’t lost their enthusiasm for giving after starting The Love Kitchen in East Knoxville in 1986.

Nor their sense of astonishment for those who give a lot, as Helen continuously said, “Look Ellen, a gift from God,” as Farragut High School Student Government Association teens kept piling out of SUVs in waves with hundreds of cases of canned food donations Friday afternoon, Nov. 8.

Both sisters were determined to go out to the Love Kitchen parking lot off Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue — Helen using a cane and Ellen a walker — and exchange hugs and photo opportunities with SGA students who broke away, with big smiles, during the delivery of some 12,000 cans benefitting the less fortunate. It culminated SGA’s Love Kitchen Canned Food Drive Week at FHS Nov. 4-8.

“Lord you all don’t know what a blessing this is, thank you so much,” Helen told Ethan Young, SGA president. “I can’t believe this.”

“I’m in dream land honey; Patrick, look at all we’ve got,” Helen said to Patrick Riggins, president of The Love Kitchen Board of Directors. “Do you see how the Lord takes care of you.”

Meanwhile, Farragut SGA’s massive donation, led by some 50 students plus FHS teacher sponsors Elizabeth Blankenship, Angela Breeding, Shasta Todd and Valarie Cagle, came at the perfect time.

“We were down to nothing … we didn’t have enough cans to do next Wednesday’s deliveries,” said Jerri Shelley, Love Kitchen volunteer.

Helen said about the massive delivery, “That’s a big plus for us because we need it.

Don’t you know that’s a big blessing for us, and I thank the Lord for those kids.

“At this particular time, we’re out of canned food.”

Concern about The Love Kitchen “keeps us going, to help other people in need,” Helen said.

“To me it’s just a blessing to be able to help them out in everything they do,” said SGA sophomore Bradley Balltrip, who upon the sisters’ request did a dance between

Wireless technology upgrades are coming soon for Farragut Intermediate and Farragut Middle schools.

Meanwhile, FIS also is looking to upgrade its physical security.

Deborah Adorante, FIS assistant principal, elaborated on details during town of Farragut’s Schools Education Relations Committee monthly first Tuesday meeting, Nov. 5, in Town Hall boardroom.

“We’re going to be able to upgrade the technology infrastructure within the building,” Adorante said. “… I believe it’s through a grant that Knox County has. The county’s going to take care of that for us, we won’t have to pay for that.

“We’re thrilled with that.”

“They’ll update access points, the wiring. We’re kind of sharing it with the [Farragut] Middle School. The middle school gets it first,” she added. “… By Dec. 1 they’re going to be working on ours. It’s just going to bring us up to date.

Everything will be faster; it’ll be a more efficient system for iPads or any kind of mobile devices that we hope we gain as we go forward.”

Adorante said she did not know when the upgraded system would be ready for use.

With upcoming Common Core standards testing required to be taken online, “Just in parent meetings they’ll mention, ‘What are you doing to prepare my child for taking a test online?’” Adorante said.

“We are also focusing on getting a projector and a screen for our gym, similar to what the middle school has,” Adorante added. “Just to support P.E. and for special meetings we have.”

Moreover, in the matter of increased security, “We recently went through a 22page security assessment with our full time [security officer Stephen Davis and officer] Yearwood with Knox County Sheriff’s [Office],” Adorante said. “And we were able to put in five of our top requests to help with security. The first one was a fence around the portables in

Adorante did not know when FIS would hear feedback on its security requests.

Among other SERC business, Town recently erected warning signs for motorists approaching intersection of Lendon Welch Way and Kingston Pike of pedestrian traffic crossing the Pike.

“I will just go on record as saying I’m a little disappointed we couldn’t get more visibility,”

she said.

No special-event signage will be allowed two weeks before the holiday campaign begins and two weeks after the holiday campaign ends, she said.

“The whole reason for that is that once the Shop Farragut campaign hits, it explodes,” she said. “It just pops and becomes more meaningful than just having scattered signs here and there. It’s a very coordinated effort.”

With the holiday campaign signage, businesses advertise things such as discounts, their business names, open houses

SERC chair Mark Littleton said.

“I really like a device that I found in the [Oak Ridge] community that has flashing lights.”

However, “We’ve got a couple of committee members that don’t see a concern,” Littleton added.

Committee member Mike Singletary added about Farragut High, FMS and FIS, “If they have concerns we follow it up, if they don’t have concerns we leave it and move on.”

Singletary raised the idea of specifically welcoming Parent Teacher student organization/association representatives “from each of the schools on different days. And tell us their views of what’s going on with the schools as it would relate to our interests here at the Town. and special events, she said.

Businesses also get their information to “over 2,000 selfidentified subscribers to the Shop Farragut mobile app or the Shop Farragut DealMail,” she said.

The holiday campaign also brings benefits for shoppers.

“Because the majority of the folks that are involved in the Shop Farragut Holiday Campaign offer deals, and those deals are coupons typically,” she said. “... That information is also accessible on the shopfarragut.com website and the Shop Farragut mobile app.”

A business deadline to register is Nov. 11, but that does not mark the last day that business-

deliveries. “Feeding people is something that means a lot to them.”

It wasn’t just The Love Sisters who were floored upon seeing SGA’s massive delivery.

“Oh Honey, this is probably the most we’ve ever had at one time,” Shelley said. “This could not have been better.”

With eight long dinner tables packed with canned cases plus several chairs and side tables, “I figured we’d have three or four tables packed,” Shelley added.

“This is absolutely unbelievable.”

“I think these are the nicest ladies I’ve ever met in my life,” said SGA senior Freddy Bahati.

“Spending their time to help the people that are in need.”

Young said, “It’s really humbling to come out here and be able to give back in this way. …

It’s the happiest day of the year, we get to give back. And it’s really impactful for all the students.”

The Love Sisters “are the most God-loving people, and they are just so inspiring to all of us,” said SGA senior Tessa Watson. “I just think it’s amazing what they’ve done.”

Blankenship credited the entire school. “It’s an entire building effort,” Blankenship said, adding that the interaction of her SGA students and Helen and Ellen “has made my year.”

In addition to its weekly deliveries each Thursday serving about 3,000 people, The Love Kitchen serves breakfast and lunch meals each Wednesday and Thursday.

guestview: Gov. Bill Haslam

A couple of weeks ago, there was an article in the farragutpress that criticized Congressman [John J.] Duncan [Jr.’s] voting record in the U.S. House of Representatives. Nothing could have been further from the truth.

I am convinced that had many of the other members of Congress voted the same way as our 2nd District representative, this country would not be faced with nearly the number of problems that have been hurting countless numbers of Americans.

Jimmy Duncan is without question, one of the most fiscally conservative members of the Congress. He has consistently spoken loudly against government waste, fraud and abuse.

Congressman Duncan is one of the few representatives to return to his district every time the Congress is not in session to

meet with his constituents right here in Tennessee. Attempting to say that he has been a part of the problem in Washington is grossly inaccurate and has compelled me to right (sic) this letter in support of Jimmy.

I am often saddened when I see politicians spread false information just in order to be elected to office. This is the core reason many people are so turned off by public service. I am very happy to say my Congressman is not a person who adds to this terrible problem by spraying false attacks on political opponents.

It is important to remember that when criticizing someone’s voting record the facts be told.

When examining the facts you can’t deny our Congressman represents our area’s beliefs.

act on it. … The Mayor [Tim Burchett] and County Commission would make a decision.”

Acknowledging that Fitzgerald was concerned about her privacy being violated whenever people would visit the monument before it was taken, Worthington, in a 2012 story, referenced “a deed of gift” where the governing body accepting the monument would do so on the condition the monument not be located on county property near Fitzgerald’s property.

However, Buuck said, “I can assure you this: the county is not prone to take donations with any conditions attached to it.”

Town Administrator David Smoak said information he received about the Bonny Kate decision late last week “is the most I’ve heard about that subject in more than a year.”

Smoak said that although “the county was trying to work with them first,” he added, “We’d be more than happy to take the monument. … Certainly we would have some places we could figure out where to put it.”

“We’ve always been a back-up plan to the county. … We’ll be glad to talk to the county and Ms. Fitzgerald again and see if we can come up with some kind of solution to it.”

Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill agreed with Smoak, but added that Knox County “should have first dibs at it, I would think.”

Tennessee received some exciting news this month about the progress we’re making in education.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress results for 2013 were released, a n d Tennessee students showed the largest growth of any other state.

Tennessee Bill also had the largest Haslam growth of Tennessee any state Governor in a single testing c y c l e since NAEP began nationwide testing a decade ago.

NAEP, also known as the “nation’s report card,” is a highly-regarded independent assessment that tests fourth and eighth graders in reading and math, and Tennessee students made significant gains on all four

From page 1A

Carole Worthington, attorney for Fitzgerald, said Bonny Kate’s decision “is positive news,” adding the monument “belongs to her and she has not made a decision regarding” any donation.

Worthington neither confirmed nor denied Fitzgerald was responsible for moving the monument in 2011.

While “this does remove apparent hurdles,” any donation “remains to be seen.”

Without divulging the location of the monument, Worthington said, “It can be obtained by Ms. Fitzgerald.”

However, Worthington said Fitzgerald “is busy on other matters,” adding neither has been contacted by anyone seeking to speak about acquiring the monument.

Worthington did not discourage the possibility of either a Knox County or town of Farragut official contacting her to talk about a possible donation. “I’m always willing to talk with people,” she said. “We are not initiating anything at this time.”

David Buuck, Knox County chief deputy law director, said his office “never heard an offer” from Worthington or Fitzgerald.

“If they want to offer to give that to the county, then their attorney can make that [happen] … and then County Commission would

tests.

Tennessee’s scores showed students improving half a grade level compared to just two years ago. We moved from scoring in the bottom 10 in the country on all four tests in 2011, to scoring within one point of the national average on 3 of the 4 tests in 2013. Essentially, we are solidly now in the 30s instead of the 40s on state rankings, and within sight of the national average.

Tennessee showed extremely strong progress for African American students. We also significantly increased the participation rates for students with disabilities.

These historic gains are due to the hard work of educators, students, parents, school board members, lawmakers and many others.

I see my time in office as part of a bigger picture. It is like being in a relay race. I took the baton that was handed to me, and it is my job to advance the state and hand the baton off further up the track.

• I thought the comments from a parent about panhandlers our children occasionally see on the streets to be very cold and callous, as well as a terrible example to children. Some quick facts on homelessness that she should let her daughter know include: nationally, approximately 50 percent of all women and children experiencing homelessness are fleeing domestic violence. Research indicates that 40 percent of homeless men have served in the armed forces, as compared to 34 percent of the

general adult population.

Persons with severe mental illness represented about 26 percent of all sheltered homeless persons. Compared to 26 percent suffering from mental illnesses, moderate to severe, in the general population. Among surveyed homeless people 38 percent have an alcohol problem, and 26 percent report problems with other drugs. Compared to almost 7 percent alcoholics and 8 percent drug addicts in the general population. 2005 survey of 24 American cities found that 13 percent of the urban homeless population were employed.

Declining wages have put housing out of reach for many workers. So, this winter season especially, please be more tolerant of those less fortunate. ... Please temper your first reaction of being appalled and gain a little understanding and humanity yourself. ...

Bristol, Va., has done this and it is a boon to all the citizens. Make Farragut the first “hot spot” in East Tennessee and do something that will be of benefit to the Town and all its citizens.

• How interesting, Farragut can spend a half millon dollars on an artificial surface sports field and over a million on an old house, but it can’t pay Knox County Schools its state mandated liquor taxes. Now I know where the money for these extravagances comes from — school-owed taxes.

• Couldn’t help but read with interest the mayor’s letter about his vote to continue to ban guns in Farragut parks. The mayor stated that the state has passed a law that says school children cannot visit parks that allow folks to carry guns. I looked and looked and could not find any such law. Also, school children (even those from Knox County) take field trips to portions of the Great Smoky Mountains and all federal national parks allow guns to be carried by licensed citizens.

academic standards started in 2009 under my predecessor, Gov. Phil Bredesen. It was a bipartisan effort that spanned two administrations, and it changed the conversation about education in our state.

Since taking office, this administration’s goal has been for Tennessee to be the fastest improving state in the nation by the year 2015. While we can say that today, we know there is more work to do. We aren’t satisfied that we’re in the 30s and below the national average, but these gains are certainly a remarkable achievement.

I am extremely grateful for of all the hard work of our teachers and students. We’re expecting more from them, and they’re responding. This is a time to celebrate our progress across the state and build on that momentum as we continue to do the best job we can in preparing our students for the future.

LDS mission to teach ■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

The Tennessee Knoxville Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at 11320 Station West Drive, suite 101, came from the Tennessee Nashville Mission and became its own mission in 1993.

“We’re an effort to help teach the gospel of Jesus Christ, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and invite others to come to Jesus Christ and invite others to become members of our church,” said Richard Irion, president of the Tennessee Knoxville Mission. “So we actively teach and proselyte, and we have approximately 200 missionaries ... and their purpose is to both find people to teach and to teach them about The Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to help them come into membership in that church.”

The Tennessee Knoxville Mission is one of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ 408 missions around the world, Irion said.

There are 200 missionaries with the Tennessee Knoxville Mission, he said.

“The mission serves Eastern Tennessee, a small part of Kentucky, a small part of Virginia, a small part of Georgia and to the Great Smoky Mountain area of North Carolina, Asheville area,” he said.

Missionaries come from all over the nation, and they live in all of those areas, he said.

Faith Lutheran blesses local animals ■

tcheek@farragutpress.com

Dogs, horses, a cat and a bird joined their owners so they could be blessed Saturday, Oct. 12, at Farragut’s Faith Lutheran Church.

Every year the church holds its Blessing of the Animals. This year, it started with a parade from the Town park at Campbell Station Road to the church at 225 Jamestowne Blvd.

“We’ve been doing it for 12 to 13 years,” said the Rev. Dr. Bob Stelter, pastor of Faith Lutheran.

“It just gets better every year,” said Lisa Johnson, a member of the church. She added all the chil-

dren in the area enjoy the event.

At Faith Lutheran, Stelter officiated a service starting with Genesis 2:18-25 and cited: “God creates the animals from the same ground that the first human is created. We are kin and partners. The first human names the animals as part of a living family in Eden.”

The event also commemorates Saint Francis Day, which is observed Oct. 4. Saint Francis of Assisi was an Italian Catholic friar known for his love of animals and for founding the men’s Order of Friars Minor, the women’s Order of Saint Claire and the Third Order of See ANIMALS on Page 9A

“Everyone was saying it was the best fall fest ever,” she added. “We probably had more than 4,000 people come out.

“Nobody had to wait in line,” she said, adding the wait was usually only a minute or two.

“There were great games, great crafts.”

Heaven’s Pantry there for struggling families

■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

The Farragut Church of Christ Heaven’s Pantry focuses on nonfood items for those struggling.

Sheila Cooper, Rita Duncan and Anna Williams started Heaven’s Pantry in June 2004, Cooper said.

“It’s a pantry that’s open as an outreach to the community to help struggling families,” Cooper said. “... So the pantry provides items. They’re non-food items like household cleaners and

paper products like toilet tissue and paper towels, personal care products like shampoos and toothpaste and soap and then baby products. We don’t have a lot of baby products, but we have some diapers and baby shampoo and wipes, those kind of items.”

The pantry is open Wednesday evenings from 6 to 7 p.m., she said.

“When we first opened, we were available to the whole area, and unfortunately, especially with the economy changing and everything, there were so many

people needing help that we did end up having to limit it to three ZIP codes: 37922, 37932 and 37934,” she said. “And those are kind of the zip codes around our church.”

People can come to the pantry once a month, she said.

“We have a list of all the items that we have there, and they pick five items or up to five of whichever items they need the most that month,” she said.

Cooper talked about how they See PANTRY on Page 10A

8A • FARRAGUTPRESS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2013

Only one problem; she’s a liar Summer before last, we were tempted to buy a newer car even though we hadn't saved what we would need. We refer to our car as "The Old Lady" because cars are like dogs. You just multiply a car’s mechanical age times seven to get the actual age. That makes The Old Lady 105 (15 x 7=105). She was born in 1998 and we remember her fondly when Pam she was a Young baby. I love Make it the smell of new baby Fun! cars, but I love having NO CAR PAYMENT better!

Planning our car trip that summer with some of our children and grandchildren, we knew we'd be travelling over the Continental Divide which meant some seriously high mountains! Sometimes The Old Lady had difficulty climbing 800 feet to our home especially when it was really hot outside.

Typically her temperature would rise above normal and by the time we’d get in our garage, she’d pee all over the floor. With our concern over her ability to make it over the mountains knowing it was summer and could be very hot, we took her to the doctor.

Dr. Jim at Dave's Auto Repair and Used Car Sales gave her a checkup and proclaimed everything looked pretty good. However when asked if he would take her on the trip, he answered, "I can't answer that." She’d had a heart transplant in 2007, but he explained, “When we gave The Old Lady a new heart she was still left with the old veins and other organs.”

In keeping with my own teachings in the GOOD Book: Get Out Of Debt, we had promised ourselves we would not buy another car on credit, so the thought of doing that was just a brief consid-

eration. When Dr. Jim wouldn’t answer our question (medical liability issues I guess) we thought about renting a car. In the end we decided since we were going on the trip in two cars, if The Old Lady died along the way, we’d just leave her and join our kids in their van.

We headed out with two gallons of water in the trunk (in case of an accident ahemm) and a case of oil (she tends to lose vital fluids).

Our first test of her wellbeing was over the Cascade Mountains.

When we got to Timberline Lodge (approximately 7,000 feet) she peed all over the parking lot in front of skiers and tourists alike.

It was one thing to have it happen in the privacy of our own garage, but in public, well it was very embarrassing. After she cooled down, we gave her a gallon of water which she gulped appreciatively. We proceeded to head east to spend time with Terry’s cousin and his wife.

I told the relatives of her problem and both being devout Christians they prayed over The Old Lady. I felt the prayer was really directed more at us, that if she died we’d be able to handle the loss in a positive way. Turns out The Old Lady has never had another accident! We proceeded to travel more than 2,500 miles over hill, dale and mountain in temperatures that soared into three digits many days. It has been a couple of years since “the prayer,” and The Old Lady has not had a problem with the 800 foot hill to our home either.

Really now, the only real problem we have with The Old Lady is that she’s a liar. When she says she can go 50 miles until a fill up, she can really just go ten. How I found that out is another story.

Surrounded by family and friends, Nora Gillette celebrates her 100th birthday at Morning Pointe Assisted Living in Lenoir City Saturday afternoon, Oct. 12.

Gillette celebrates 100 ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Constantly working and staying busy, the key formula that feisty Nora Gillette has used to live past age 100.

“I had a very hard-working life,” Nora said on her 100 birthday Saturday, Oct. 12, as a resident at Morning Pointe Assisted Living in Lenoir City.

Growing up in Ilion, N.Y. (upstate) and quitting high school with only “one-half year to go” before graduating, “I started working when I was 16 years old for 14-and-a-half cents an hour … winding yarn in a mill” for sweaters, Nora added with a laugh a few hours before family and friends gathered at Morning Pointe for a birthday party.

Nora said about her work as a volunteer after retiring at age 66, “I think that’s why God gave me this life. I loved to volunteer. … I volunteered in a senior center … and in a hospital, and I worked in

B

a nursing home.”

Nora said one key to longevity is, “I never had a dull life.

Keeping busy and staying on the go. That’s the biggest key.”

“Work hard and volunteer.”

Nora’s longest job came “as a floor lady” at a store supervising roughly three-dozen women. “I was a floor lady for 35 years,” she said.

Back to her school days, “When we were kids we never had a

deathnotices birthnotices

vacation,” she said. “We had to go pick strawberries, raspberries, peas, beans.

“I was on the go all the time.”

Remaining quite independent until recent years, “I think I drove until I was 92,” Nora said.

As for how she got to the Farragut area, Nora lived in Leesburg, Va. with her son, Joseph, until about four years See GILLETTE on Page 11A • No deaths were reported this week

WORKING JOE:

Bryan Timmis From accountant to Special Agent

■

Animals From page 6A

Saint Francis for men and women.

During the service, the congregation recited Saint Francis’ prayer.

The service continued as Stelter blessed each animal in attendance.

“The goal of the blessing is to lead us to praise our Creator God,” the pastor said. “The hope of the blessing is that health, healing and life are mediated from God for the benefit of the animal and its relationship with its human partners.”

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Bored with his career in accounting because “it was very repetitious” in the early 1980s, Bryan Timmis said he “wanted some more variety and something more challenging and exciting.”

“And that’s what I found in the Bureau,” Timmis, a Farragut resident, said about 29 years in Federal Bureau of Investigation leading to his current status as Special Agent and highlighted by the dangers of serving on FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team for several years.

Despite suffering a “compressed spine” among his training and action injures, “It’s been very rewarding,” he said. “It was quite a privilege to make the Hostage Rescue Team.”

Now “senior principal firearms instructor. …

Training coordinator and also FBI National Academy coordinator” in FBI’s Knoxville Bureau, Timmis, 55, estimates he’s trained “a couple thousand” agents over the years.

His Hostage Rescue Team experience also included a trip to England for a few weeks of joint training with British forces. “It’s kind of their equivalent to our U.S. Navy SEALS,” Timmis said.

“The Director of the FBI had traveled to Saudi Arabia.

We were able to go and help with the protection detail when they were short of some people,” he said. “That was probably around 2006.”

For “several weeks” In 2008, “I was asked to help train Iraqi Police candidates at their police academy,”

Then the event moved inside the church for a presentation, emceed

by Bob Ellis, during which pet owners had an opportunity to talk about their pets’ talents and idiosyncrasies. To end the event, pet owners won prizes for their pets, from being the shaggiest to the one most looking like its owner.

This year, the church welcomed Carson Farmer, a National High School Rodeo Association member and Farragut teen, and his horse, Trooper. Farmer was on hand to give a roping demonstration, both on horseback and on the ground.

While attendance to the festival was free, people could buy tickets to take part in activities and buy food. Proceeds from those tickets benefited the school through the PTA. Driver said preliminary figures show the PTA raised more than $30,000 from the event.

“We raised what we wanted,” she said. She explained the money goes back into the school and funds FPS’ library; supplies for the first-aid clinic; programs for the students such as the Zoo Mobile from Knox County Zoo, puppet shows, authors’ visits, Science Night with Dr. Al Hazari, Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and movie nights; improvements to the school grounds; maintaining and improving the playground; awnings in the cafeteria to reduce

noise, and updating technology.

“In the past we have gotten Active Boards,” Driver said. “The PTA has paid for every one [of them] in the school right now.”

Driver said many sponsors, who offered everything from yogurt and snow cones to pizzas and barbecue, supported this year’s event. They also turned out in costume – cows and frogs – and even Finley the FPS Dolphin made an appearance.

Additionally, Driver said sponsors provided parking space, prizes, and demonstrations, a mini train ride, hair styling and face painting.

The town of Farragut also supported the event by bringing out its snow plows and other town equipment, while Rural Metro provided its fire truck for an hour and Festivalgoers could park at the library and the parking lot of Christ Connection Church, she said.

“Because we have several food pantries in the area, and it just seemed like there were enough places for people to go to get food,” she said.

Donations for the pantry are welcome, she said.

“Just call the church office and bring it by,” she said. “... If they want to bring donations, they could bring them to the office, or if they wanted to leave a check or money, they could leave it there at the church office.”

For more information call the church office at 865-966-5025, she said.

People coming to the pantry are invited to a Wednesday night meal at the church, she said.

“We work with members of our church here, and we work with people who are interested in finding out about our church and teach them about our faith and give them an opportunity to learn about it for themselves and then to become members themselves,” he said.

ago. “My son decided to sell his house and come out here,” Nora said. “I don’t like the weather here. There’s something about allergies. … I can’t go out on account of my allergies and my eyes.”

However, “I like the people here,” Nora said about the Morning Pointe staff. “They’ve been very good to me.”

As for her favorite things to do, “I love the Hallmark Channel,” Nora said. “And Judge Judy. …

throughout the places that I mentioned [the area Tennessee Knoxville Mission serves], so a rep-

resentative would be happy to come and visit,” he said.

She’ll sit there and say [to a defendant or plaintiff], ‘I don’t believe a word you say.’”

Nora has three grandchildren, seven great grandchildren “and two great-great granddaughters,” she said.

Theresa Henslee, area community relations director at Morning Pointe, said Nora “is just awesome. There isn’t enough wonderful things to say about her.

“She’s funny, and she rules,” Hensley added. “And she loves music and she loves to dance.

“She’s one of my favorite people. I love her.”

At age 18, “My father opened up a grocery store, and he had me working in the grocery store,” Nora said.

Next came a job as an inspector at a plant that “made insulated garments.”

Nora married her late husband, Charles, in 1939. “He was the best man,” she said.

Joseph was born in 1942. Nora took another yarn-winding job “two-and-a-half years later,” she said.

Nora, the youngest of six children, went back to her inspector’s job a few years later.

crime-major offender BCMO Squad. … I was also the principal firearms instructor. And then, became the SWAT Team leader.”

Timmis handled both of those jobs “for about 11 years,” he said, before relinquishing SWAT Team leader duties.

After earning a business administration degree, with a minor in accounting, at Towson State University in Baltimore, where he grew up, in 1980, “I was doing some accounting for a non-profit research company in Washington, D.C., and I called in the agent in Baltimore that I played rugby with, told him I wanted to apply,” Timmis said.

“I’ve been in a lot of the crisis that have been in the media,” he said. “The most rewarding one was probably the Talladega [Alabama] prison in 1991.”

“About 150 of them took over this prison cell,” Timmis added.

“And took the nine guards and nurses and staff hostage.”

Timmis and his team made their move “at 2 in the morning,” he said. “Within about two minutes, we had all nine of the hostages accounted for.”

“That’s probably one of the happiest memories I’ve had in the bureau.”

Sherrill Hills Retirement Community, 271 Moss Grove Boulevard in West Knoxville, had its grand opening Oct. 12.

Bob Epstein and his wife, Nancy, are community relations managers for the community, Bob Epstein said.

“Sherrill Hills is a community that says a lot of yeses to retirees,” Bob Epstein said.

“We’re 55-and-above. We have very unique amenities in our community. One and most important is, as I said, we’re a yes community, which means the residents have freedom dining. In facilities, residents have to come down at a specific time to have a meal. In our community, they have freedom to come down. A perfect example is breakfast is from 6:30 to 9:30. Lunch is from 11:30 to 2. Instead of having to be

at a particular time, they can come at any time.”

Residents also can choose what to eat, he said.

“For breakfast, if they go down the serving line, they don’t have a pre-planned meal,” he said.

“They do have certain items, but if a resident says, ‘You know what? I’d like to have an omelet today,’ they can have an omelet.

If they want waffles, they can have waffles. Pancakes, they can have pancakes. So we allow the residents to have exactly what they’re looking for, the freedom to choose.”

The community, which opened Aug. 1, has features such as a 150-seat theater, a pharmacy, a beauty salon, a fitness center, postal area, dining room, bank and lounge, he said.

“We’re very, very resident-driven in our theater,” he said. “Every night we have movies for the residents. We have, throughout the

Farragut new home to AccuQuest Hearing ■ ROBBY O’DANIEL

rodaniel@farragutpress.com

A new AccuQuest Hearing Center opened in Farragut Tuesday, Nov. 5.

The Farragut location, 11121 Kingston Pike, suite B, has two doctors — including Bobbie McCue, doctor of audiology and regional director for the Knoxville region locations with AccuQuest — and a patient care coordinator on staff, she said.

AccuQuest offers a variety of services, she said.

“We provide a comprehensive evaluation with the video otoscopy, the familiar voice and then the diagnostic hearing evaluation,” she said.

A video otoscopy is helpful, McCue added.

Why? “It allows me as the audiologist or any of our practitioners to show the patient what their ear canal and ear drum looks like up on a computer monitor or large TV screen within our office,” she said. “... It looks for obstructions in the outer ear such as wax blockage, maybe a perforated ear drum, debris that may be in the ear canal or even fluid.”

Robby O’Daniel

Bobbie McCue, doctor of audiology and regional director for AccuQuest’s Knoxville region locations, works at the new Farragut location, 11121 Kingston Pike, suite B.

The comprehensive evaluation’s second part involves a familiar voice, McCue said.

“We like to use a familiar voice, meaning a loved one or a spouse that can attend the appointment

with the patient and have the loved one read a list of words to the patient and assess how well the patient is reporting or responding to these words, how well they’re repeating these

words back,” she said. “That kind of gives us a big picture of some of the difficulties the patient may be having in an environment such as home, in the car, at church even.”

The diagnostic hearing evaluation includes tone testing and speech testing, she said.

“Once we receive the results from all those three parts in our comprehensive evaluation, if there is truly a permanent component or permanent hearing loss, we then go over the different types and styles of hearing aids, typically give a hearing aid demonstration within the office and give recommendations based on the patient’s hearing loss, hearing needs and day-to-day activities,” she said.

AccuQuest does hearing aid fittings, McCue said.

“We also provide in-services,” she said. “We attend a couple of different senior living facilities in and around Knoxville and Farragut. And what we provide are just in-services on hearing, hearing aids, things that are related to hearing health care, giving them information about See ACCUQUEST on page 2B

what they need to do within the town of Farragut,” she added.

“And if they have issues or if they have questions, we get them in touch with the right people with the town of Farragut. For example, if there are signage issues, we’ll get them in touch with the people who are in charge of signage. ... We work with the town of Farragut staff to direct them where they need to go to solve problems.”

Berdal also would like to see a structured mentoring program for the FBA. “It’s something I would like to see us work on,” she said. “It’s almost like a mentoring program, using existing businesses and owners and business people who are in Farragut to mentor to those who are opening new businesses to help them with that process of conducting business within Farragut.”

Group LLC at the time], and I managed his office for five years,” she said.

Berdal, who started with Myers Bros.

Losing heat?

Neglected or overlooked window cracks, heating system glitches can add up to chilling problems this winter

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Losing heat in the winter, either because of problems around your windows or because your heating system isn’t running efficiently, can be a costly and chilly problem.

Doug Boals is executive vice president of Renewal By Andersen of Knoxville, 111 Northview St., Knoxville.

Boals warns that “cracked seals” between window panes and their frames, and between the window’s frames and the wall, can allow enough winter air inside to drive up heating costs.

“Where the seal up against the house has kind of pulled away. What would be

common is vinyl windows in winter will contract,” Boals said, adding that summertime expansion of vinyl adds to the overall loosening. “… When the temperature drops, that material will contract. Over time [the window frame] will actually pull away from the home. That’s when it needs to be re-caulked or replaced.”

Boals quoted one industry study concluding that “17 percent on your energy bill can be saved with a premium, properly installed window.”

However, Boals added there are enough “variables” such as children leaving doors and windows cracked to where, “I try to shy away from, ‘If you do this you’ll see a 17 percent reduction in your bill.’”

Meanwhile, Danny Holbert is sales man-

ager with Premier Services Group, Inc., 333 Troy Circle, Knoxville.

Holbert recommends an annual check of your heating unit. “It can save you not only money, but on some items that can be very inexpensive to replace, [replacing those] can keep from having larger items to go out,” Holbert added.

For do-it-yourself maintenance homeowners, Holbert said, “On your heat pumps, a person should check all the electric components, the contactors, the reversing valve operation, Freon pressures, check out your electric heat strips. … On your heat pumps you should check your defrost operations. And checking you fan motors.”

Holbert recommends “having it hired

out to check.”

For all homeowners, “The main thing they can do is listen for any unusual noises.” Also “One of the main things they need to do is keep their air filters clean,” Holbert said about a monthly check that could coincide “with when you get your heating bill.”

“Poor air flow can cause high energy costs and can cause problems with the unit itself,” Holbert added.

Holbert said if a given room isn’t heating as well as every other portion of your home, “A lot of times it’s because of the duct ventilation that’s going into your room. It’s not sized property and according to the locaSee HEAT on Page 5B

While adding colorful life and special style to your home landscape as winter approaches, what you plant in late fall also can assist in home insulation.

Meanwhile, it’s time to gear down with underground irrigation while preparing to properly mothball lawnmowers, Weedeaters and any other gas-powered lawn care machine.

Lisa Stanley, customer service manager with Stanley’s Greenhouse, Garden Center & Plant Farm, 3029 Davenport Road, and Lee Strunk, owner of All Seasons Lawn Care

(www.allseasonslawncare.us), offer advice.

As for when it’s the perfect time to plant shrubs and trees, “It’s so funny that people think spring,” Stanley said. “But really, as close to November. Now is the perfect time. In fact, our ground really never freezes here. You want to start to catch the winter rains. The way a plant relaxes as we go into the winter months, and so November is right on cue. … Most people aren’t going to be doing it because of the holidays in December.”

What’s vital is “to catch the winter rains of January and February,” Stanley said. “Then the plant is already situated for

the stress of summer here. But if you plant in March, plant in April, plant in May, then the roots have not gotten very well established by the time we get to the droughtful months of June to July, and July to August,” she added.

“You can still plant in January; you can still plant in February.

But the more winter you can give the plant to get established, you’re better off.”

As for style points, small trees such as contorted filbert, “The limbs are twisted and contorted on it,” Stanley said. “Even when it’s bare of leaves you’ve got an interesting specimen to look at.”

Let the pros handle winterizing boats ■

Poor handling? Try nitrogen ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Using nitrogen versus regular compressed air, a tire care decision motorists need to consider for their vehicle — especially factoring in wintertime loss of air and resulting road handling issues with ice, snow and cold rain.

Tim Williams, branch manager of Matlock Tire Service & Auto Repair, 10730 Kingston Pike in Farragut, and Ray Fisher, owner of Fisher Tire Co. West, 10232 Kingston Pike just outside of Farragut who also owns a location in Bearden (5001 Kingston Pike), weigh in about nitrogen’s advantages.

“Nitrogen is a little more dense gas … less moisture,” Williams said. “There’s less susceptibility to temperature changes. … Along with that there’s less migration, leakage, through the wall of the tire, too.”

With compressed air, “Generally, for every 10 degrees of air temperature change, your tire pressure can change by one pound,” Williams said.

As for using nitrogen, “We’ve been doing it probably four to five years,” Williams said, adding industry charges range “$3 to $5 per tire” for fill-ups.

“It doesn’t make any immediate, instant gratification for anybody, but over the life of a set of tires, just not having the current, ongoing loss of air pressure, your fuel economy is much better,” Williams added. “Tires are lasting longer because they’re staying inflated like they should be for longer intervals.”

Fisher also stressed the advantages of “better fuel economy, longer tire life, better handling,” using nitrogen. “Your air pressure will maintain four times longer with nitrogen than it will with conventional air because the moisture’s been eliminated.”

Fisher said “the moisture” in compressed air “is the key” difference in creating a greater risk of corrosion.

“That is a big thing, corrode your wheels,” Fisher added.

“We see all these new aluminum alloy wheels that have got corrosion between the bead of the tire and the rim,” Fisher said. “And corrosion builds up in there, and that allows tires to leak. You wouldn’t believe how many wheels we have to clean that corrosion off the bead.”

However, “If you start with nitrogen it won’t happen at all,” Fisher said.

As for being cutting edge with offering nitrogen, “We were the very first people in Knoxville to do it,” Fisher said. “… We realized the value of it.”

However, “We charge $2.50 a tire,” Fisher said about the charge for those who buy Fisher See NITROGEN on Page 5B

Boat winterization is tricky business, a point made by a marina manager and a boat company sales manager.

That advice comes from Patrick Boring, co-manager of Stardust Marina on Norris Lake in Anderson County “about nineand-a-half miles” east of Interstate-75 along Highway 61, and Ryan Jones, sales manager of American Boat Center, 10250 Cogdill Road in West Knoxville.

Boring recommends hiring out your boat winterization to a professional, “As inexpensive as it is to have a mechanic come and do it,” he said. “That’s definitely what I’d recommend. Most mechanics will charge anywhere from $50 to $100, somewhere in that range, to winterize a boat.

“If somebody’s not 100 percent confident with doing it themselves, call a mechanic for sure,” he added.

If you’re not familiar with boat mechanics, Boring suggested checking with Better Business Bureau. “That wouldn’t be a bad idea,” he said. “Word of mouth and how long they’ve been in business is really important.

“In the event that they’ve done something wrong, they should pay [for example] for whatever it costs to replace the engine,” Boring added. “Mechanics usually carry insurance for that kind of stuff.”

However, “I can’t think of any cases off the top of my head where somebody’s winterized one but didn’t do a good job at it,” Boring said.

With Stardust Marina boat owners, “Probably 95 percent of the people get a qualified mechanic to do it rather than do

it themselves,” Boring said.

However, “I would imagine that the people that trailer their boats, keep it in their garage and bring it back to the lake themselves, a greater percentage of them do it themselves,” Boring said. “That’s been my experience.”

Jones said, “We always recommend they have someone do it, ...

On average it costs about $150 to winterize your boat with an authorized service center. …

Consider it insurance.

“If a certified shop messes up your winterization, they take care of it,” Jones added. “If you’re not real familiar with how to do it, and you mess it up, it’s going to cost you $1,000.

“There’s definitely people who are do-it-yourselfers, and we don’t discourage that by any means.”

However, “With today’s motors, they’re really, really expensive to replace,” Jones said. “If you miss one of two little things it could cost you thousands of dollars.

“Not all these motors today are the same,” he added. “So the way they drain and the way they need to be winterized, that person may not be up to date on those and they may miss a hose or a plug, and there’s water still within the system and it can freeze and crack and bust it.”

Jones warned about potential do-it-yourselfers going online for advice because that advice “may not apply to your specific motor.”

“The different brands of motors out there have different cooling systems on them,” he added. “One way to drain your manifold on one motor may be different than another motor.”

tion and the size of your room.

Sometimes they may need to add another vent to their systems. Or increase the size of the vent they’ve got going to it.”

Because of deadly carbon monoxide getting trapped in your home, “That’s the reason I recommend that all your gas furnaces be checked out in the fall of the year,” Holbert said. “To check to make sure your heat exchanger is not busted or not stopped up that can cause carbon monoxide to get back into the house.

“That is a silent killer.”

Also, check for debris, or landscaping growth, that might be “blocking the air flow” into your heating unit, Holbert said.

With cracks around windows, “Sometimes you can get away with just resealing it” with caulk, Boals said. “Sometimes it moves enough to where it breaks the seal on the glass.”

From the time a new home is completed with vinyl-framed windows, “You’re probably going to be good for five to seven years,” Boals said, adding that vinyl, however, “is in vogue because it’s affordable. … And it doesn’t let a

and the resulting maintenance differences may catch some new boat owners off guard, especially those who have owned older boats where maintenance requirements were more standardized.

For example, “You used to have a Mercruiser, but you have a Volvo now, and it may have a couple of extra plugs and hoses that need to come off that you’re haven’t been used to in the past,” Jones said. “Where they get in trouble is, they assume it’s like their old one, but it’s different because they’ve changed the system on it. … It may be similar,

lot of energy in [through the material]. It will keep the cold out unlike an aluminum-framed window.”

Despite its frame-contraction problem, vinyl windows remain the area’s biggest seller, Boals said.

A somewhat more expensive alternative, Boals said, “Is a synthetic material that is 40 percent vinyl, 60 percent wood … overengineered wood,” Boals said.

“This does not rot.”

Boals said he “thinks” the vinyl-wood combination, called fibrex, is the better long-run value.

Beyond loss of heating efficiency with vinyl windows, Boals said, “When moisture gets in behind that window, between the frame and the wall, that’s when you have a problem. That could lead to rot.”

As for checking the sturdiness of a window’s frame-wall seal, Boals said, “Take an ink pen, take a screwdriver, and kind of bury it, if you will, into the seal of your window. If it’s soft, if it feels like you can drive that ink pen or screwdriver on through the seal, then you have a problem. Not ramming it through, just gently.”

Plants From page 3B

Other examples include “your river burdge, which has an interesting peeling bark in the winter,” Stanley added. “There’s even a few Japanese maples, like the coral bark maple, it actually does have red color come to the bark in the winter. It gives you something to look at when the leaves are off the tree.”

As for plants, “You’d be surprised; a lot of plants can take our winter,” Stanley said. “Your roses are fine with our winter, so you can continue to plant your roses.”

Moreover, “Your bulbs have to go in now,” Stanley said. “Often people are looking for the tulips and the daffodils when they’re shining in the garden in April and May … and they see the daffodils in the ground in March and think they can go buy them in the store then. … But those bulbs have to be placed in the ground in the fall when you’re not really thinking about it. To get the blooms in March and April.”

Plant your bulbs right away.

“When you’re getting right after Christmas, it’s almost too late,” she added. “You do need to get three months of good, cold chill

but you may miss one little plug on there that could cost you thousands.”

“Smaller boats, bigger boats, it doesn’t really matter on the size,” he added. “It depends on the brands.”

The bottom line: “If you’re not a hundred percent sure how to do it, call a professional,” Jones said.

Among his most underlined warnings, Jones said, “Never put a space heater in your boat. Some people put space heaters in there just to kind of get through the night, and that’s a big no-no because they can catch on fire.

Space heaters on boats are a major fire hazard.”

tires.

“A tire inflated with compressed air will normally lose one to three pounds of pressure every month,” Fisher added.

“Any time you have a tire with low air pressure, the tire builds up heat, and heat in the biggest enemy to a tire. Even in the winter.”

At new car dealerships, Williams said, “They’re probably using [nitrogen in tires] as an add-on sale … part of your prep package,” adding it’s “pretty much a common practice.”

Stanley suggested giving all newly planted small trees, shrubs, bulbs and plants a good soaking of water, “Giving the roots a good moisture base heading into winter,” especially if “we get into dry weather in December and January.”

Stanley said it’s better to give all planted winter growth an occasional “good, solid, slow soaking” rather than “a little bit here and there.”

Also an important watering tip, “It needs to go to the roots” and not the foliage, Stanley said, to avoid “a worse burn” on the foliage from winter exposure.

Excessive water on foliage “also can bring on disease a little bit more,” she added.

Struck said about preparing lawnmowers and other gas-powered lawn care machines, “The biggest mistake people will make in the wintertime when they put their equipment up, whether it be a Weedeater or lawnmower or whatever, they leave gas in it.

“What I like to do is, as you use it, let it get down close to empty, then when you’re done with it just let it sit and run until it runs out of gas,” he added. “That would be the best thing to do.”

acceptable in the winter thinking a flatter tire will grip better on icy, snowy or cold rainy roads, Williams offers a correction.

“That might have been relevant in the past with old-style tires,” Williams said.

But with modern tires, “You’re reducing the traction capability of that tire,” Williams said.

Fisher said lowered air pressure “defeats the purpose” because “it can damage the sidewalls of the tire, it wears the edges off the tire.”

“That was done 40 years ago when everything was rear-wheel drive,” he added.

Williams said cold tires are more rigid than that same tire in moderate or warm weather,

therefore, “Probably a little more susceptible to a shock rupture, bruising damage” if, for example, you hit a curb hard.

Williams stressed that drivers whose vehicle indicator light comes on concerning a tire issue should not hesitate: either check tire pressures and add necessary air or nitrogen or get their tires examined by a professional.

Williams said indicator lights coming on indicate a loss of air pressure from “10 percent to 25 percent.”

If it’s 25 percent low, “That’s scrubbing away a lot of life out of the tire,” he said. “… It’s going to be more susceptible to going down a second time, third time, fourth time.”

on those bulbs.”

To add a decorative touch yet provide some insulation from excessive chill, “Collect leaf matter and tuck in around shrubs where you know it’s extra chilly,” Stanley said.

Also a misconception about shrubs, Stanley said, is pruning at the wrong time. “Do we really want to prune shrubs now?”

Stanley said. “Because if we cut, we’re going to be looking at those cuts until they blossom with spring growth. And, you take away insulation from the foundation of your home. … Shrubs can benefit you to hold the warmth in and keep the cold out.”

Because its also serves as insulation for the home, “It might be a good time to plant an extra shrub or two if you know your border’s bare,” Stanley said. “These items actually do help you with the cost of keeping the home warm.

“People are actually surprised that they can have some color in the winter,” Stanley added. “It surprises them that some plants do actually bloom and thrive all winter, like your pansy group.”

As for cold tolerance, “You could probably take a pansy down to 0, and most of your bulbs, too,” Stanley said.

Basketball season underway New look, tough competition for boys 4-AAA

Farragut's Brian Park, 33, takes the ball to the hoop against an Austin-East player during the 2013 Knox County Schools Tennova Tip-Off Classica held at Thompson-Boling Arena Monday, Nov. 11.

KEN LAY Correspondent

As the 2013-14 high school boys basketball season looms, District 4-AAA has a new look.

Knoxville Catholic High School departed and re-alignment has landed Hardin Valley Academy in the district along with Bearden, Farragut, Maryville, West, Lenoir City, William Blount and Heritage.

The conference is traditionally one of the toughest in Tennessee and that hasn’t changed.

“The district is always tough,” Bearden head coach Mark Blevins said. “I guess it’s just going to get tougher.”

Maryville looks to be the preseason favorite but the Red Rebels won’t have an easy road.

“If you asked me to rank the teams in our district, Maryville is probably No. 1,” Admirals head coach Chris Cool said. “I think Hardin Valley is one of the most talented teams in our league.”

The Hawks might be a factor but they’re coming off a disappointing 10-19 campaign in District 3-AAA. This, however, is a new season and HVA head coach Keith Galloway is hoping that his squad can have a breakout year in its sixth season of basketball.

“It should be a fun year,” Galloway said. “These kids just want to win and they’ll do whatever it takes. They want to win ball games.

“The two districts are pretty much even but we’re looking for-

ward to the new challenge.”

At Farragut, Cool opens his fourth season. He’s led the Ads to consecutive Region 2-AAA Tournaments and FHS has seen its season end in Powell in each of the last two campaigns.

He’s hoping that the Admirals, who went 16-15 last season, will make another regional appearance.

“Getting to the region tournament is tough,” Cool said.

He does, however, have a luxury that he hasn’t enjoyed in the past.

Farragut’s roster features top players that have varsity experience.

“This is the first year that I’ve had more than three people returning,” Cool said. “This year, we have all juniors and seniors.”

Key returners include: Cameron Turner (senior, point guard); Matt Odom (senior, guard); Billy Williams (senior, forward/center); Brian Park (junior, guard); Harris Bollinger (senior, center); Marvin Mendy (senior, center); Drew Driscoll (junior, guard); Keegan McGuire (junior, guard); Matt Eggert (junior, forward) and Ty Allen (junior, guard).

Farragut has a bevy of returners but the Admirals must find a consistent scorer to replace DeMarcus Martin, who graduated last spring.

“We’ve been preaching about playing hard and doing all the little things like making free See BOYS on Page 7B

KEN LAY Correspondent

The chase for the District 4AAA girls basketball title has gotten a bit tougher as Hardin Valley Academy has joined the fray.

The Lady Hawks, who have spent the last five seasons in District 3-AAA, have moved to face the likes of defending district champion Farragut, 2013 Region 2-AAA Champ Bearden and 2012 region champ Maryville.

Hardin Valley replaces Knoxville Catholic High School, which struggled to compete in the conference full of heavyweights. All three area squads have high hopes for the upcoming season. The Lady Bulldogs look to make a return to the Class AAA State Tournament.

The Lady Ads, who reached the Sectional round in each of the last three seasons, will look to make a trip to Murfreesboro while HVA, which won 20 games last season, will look to make an impact in its new district.

“Hardin Valley is another school close to us and it should be fun to have them in our district,” Lady Admirals’ head coach Jason Mayfield said. “They will be another tough opponent for us.”

throws,” Cool said. “We’ve got to find a consistent scorer.

“We don’t have a DeMarcus Martin or a Blake Williams [who graduated in 2012].”

Farragut must find a consistent offensive weapon but it does have an experienced backcourt, which features Turner and Park.

“We will need to find a scorer who will step up whether it be me, Cameron or Billy,” Park said. “We will probably be more balanced but the district is going to be tough.

“Hardin Valley is going to be tough. Maryville is good and West will probably be looking for a big year and Bearden is always good.”

Turner is looking to surprise the basketball world.

“Nobody is expecting much from us but our goal is to get to the Region 2-AAA Tournament,” he said. “I think we’re projected to finish seventh in the district, so we’re going to have to surprise some people.”

Meanwhile, HVA makes the move to District 4-AAA after spending the last five seasons in District 3-AAA. For the Hawks, the change signals a new beginning.

“This year, we have new leadership and we feel like we’ve got a team that’s ready to go into the new district,” said senior forward/center Zak Carter. “We’re excited about going to the new district and we’re looking forward to making some noise.”

Senior guard Daniel Linebaugh agreed.

“All the teams in [District 4AAA] have traditions and our tradition starts now,” he said. “It’s going to be a competitive district and we’ll have to adjust. But I’m excited.

“We’re ready to play those other teams and we have no option but to succeed.”

Top returners for the Hawks include: Caleb Clevenger (junior, guard); Austin Glasgow (senior, guard); Will Brayton (senior, guard); Michael Beckham (senior, forward); Linebaugh; Carter; Blaine Shockley (junior, guard) and Dyonta Bizzle-Brown (senior, forward/center).

Key newcomers are: Hunter Canon (junior, forward); Jacob Schopmann (junior, guard); Tyler Thompson (sophomore, forward); Caleb Davis (junior, forward); Grant Martin (senior, forward) and Jordan McCroskey (junior, forward).

Meanwhile at Bearden, the Bulldogs have some lofty expectations again. Bearden went 28-5 last year and won the regular-season district title.

Bearden was runner-up in the district tournament and reached the Region 2-AAA semifinals.

The Bulldogs are looking for another big season despite returning just three players who saw significant playing time last season.

“We have three guys back with varsity experience,” said Blevins, who opens his 20th season as head

coach of the Bulldogs. “We’re going to work on building depth and everybody is going to have to step up for us.

“Right now, we’re just focused on getting better every week and getting better in every game. We don’t return a double-figure scorer.”

Top returners for the Bulldogs include: Isaiah Campbell (senior, point guard); Jack Graham (senior, guard/forward) and Noah Gettelfinger (senior, guard/forward).

Junior guards Austin Duncan and Jake Elkins also made varsity contributions last season and their roles will almost definitely be expanded.

Expectations will be lofty for Bearden, which has reached the State Tournament in 2011 and 2012.

“As seniors, we want to lead this team and we want another district title,” Campbell said. “We’re a really young team but for me, it’s

state or bust.”

Gettelfinger also harbors high expectations and added that the new district will provide some different challenges.

“Bearden has never lost to Catholic in the history of the school,” he said. “Hardin Valley is going to be tough.

“We will be good enough and if we’re not good enough, coach Blevins will make us good enough.

We want to win the district and right now, we don’t want to look too far past that.”

Graham also wants to win a league title.

“We’re definitely eyeing a district title,” he said. “My freshman year, we went to state and I got to dress and that was a lot of fun.”

SIGNAL MOUNTAIN — Knoxville Catholic High School had to work a little overtime Friday night to advance to the quarterfinals of the Class 4A playoffs.

Irish 38 But the Irish will Signal Mountain 37 move on thanks to a 38-37 double-overtime comeback victory over the Signal Mountain Eagles in a game that was decided when Irish freshman defensive lineman Josh Silvey stopped a 2point conversion that would’ve won the game for the home team. “ J o s h Silvey made a big play and threw them for a loss on that 2-point conversion,” Catholic head coach Brown S t e v e Matthews said.

The Irish (9-3) had to overcome a pair of small deficits early. The Eagles took a 3-0 lead when Houston McClain kicked a 22-yard field goal.

The Irish, however, would answer when junior quarterback Zac Jancek connected with senior running back Elijah Brown on an 18-yard touchdown pass, Wyatt Price’s extra point followed and gave KCHS the 7-3 lead it enjoyed at the end of the first quarter.

Signal Mountain (8-4) regained the lead in the second stanza on a 9-yard run by James McClellan that made the score 10-7. The Eagles’ slim advantage, however, was short-lived as the Irish took a 14-10 lead when Jancek, who completed 10-of-14 passes (including a pair of touchdowns), connected with Will Martinez on a 34-yard scoring strike.

Brown’s second TD came later in the frame and gave the Irish a

21-10 lead by halftime.

“We were actually in control in the first half. We were up 2110 and our quarterback did a great job,” Matthews said. “Zac was 10-for-14 and had a couple of touchdowns in the first half.

“We scored on all three of our possessions.”

After halftime, however, it was a different story.

McClellan, a 260-pound running back, scored consecutive touchdowns and made a 2-point conversion to enable Signal Mountain to regain the lead. He had a pair of 3-yard scoring plunges. His first, in the third quarter, made the score 21-16.

McClain missed the PAT but another touchdown from McClellan gave the Eagles a 2221 lead. His conversion made the score 24-21.

Catholic, which travels to Hixon (a 15-12 winner over Sequoyah Friday night) this week, tied the game on Price’s 27-yard field goal late in regulation.

The Eagles scored in the first overtime on Kaleb Manzel’s 4yard run. McClain’s extra point gave Signal Mountain a 31-24 lead before Jancek Connected with Martinez on a 5-yard scoring strike. Price’s extra point knotted things at 31.

KCHS scored on its possession in the second overtime on Brown’s 5-yard run. Price made it 38-31 before Diamez Franklin pulled the Eagles to within 3837 with the game’s final points.

Next up for the Irish is another road tilt against Hixon (9-3) and Matthews is confident that his squad, which won at Tyner in the regular season, can win a third game in Chattanooga.

“We’re getting healthier every day and this will be our fourth trip to Chattanooga this year,” Matthews said. “We actually went down and scrimmaged McCallie to prepare us for the Tyner game and this trip is getting to be old hat for us.

“I think if we play well, then we’ll have a chance.”

KEN LAY Correspondent

The Farragut Admirals hockey club opened defense of its 201213 KAHA high school championship with a 5-2 victory over the Knoxville Knights Thursday, Nov. 14 at the Icearium.

Farragut, which went 19-0 last year, used a big third period to win its 20th consecutive game.

The Admirals (1-0) scored three unanswered goals in the third period after the two teams played to a 2-2 stalemate after the first 26 minutes.

Farragut dominated the third period against the Knights despite lack of depth.

“I was a little concerned going into the third period because we

have a short bench,” Farragut coach Rob Despins said. “We only have 13 players.”

Senior forward Felix Bjurstrom scored two goals in the final period, including the eventual gamewinner with 7 minutes, 10 seconds remaining off an assist from Ross Ludington.

“It’s my Admirals 5 senior year and Knoxville Knights 2 it was good to start things off with a nice win,” said Bjurstrom, who also closed out the scoring with 3:19 left in the contest. “We definitely have a target on our backs, especially after going 19-0 last season.

“People definitely want to come out here and beat us.”

The Admirals started fast as

defenseman Kyle Lindsay scored an unassisted marker with 11:19 remaining in the opening frame.

“That was a great goal because he took it [the puck] from deep in our end and scored,” Despins said.

The Ads had a chance to put the Knights away early. Farragut had 11 shots on goal in the first stanza but only managed to score twice in the period.

Farragut got its second goal from forward Harley Gorlewski with 3:07 left in the opening period. That marker put the Ads up 21 and broke a tie just 18 seconds after Mason Jobe scored the equalizer for Knoxville (0-1).

Whitaker Cunningham’s broken finger earlier this season meant, “I had to get surgery and get two pins in it.”

Cunningham not only is back as a major receiving weapon for Christian Academy of Knoxville, he managed to break apart from Johnson County’s single coverage and haul in three touchdown passes from freshman quarterback Cole Smith.

About that single coverage, “They kept doing it, so we kept scoring, so it was fine,” Cunningham said about the Warriors’ Warriors 56 56-19 victory durJohnson Co. 19 ing Class 3A playoff second round action at CAK Friday night, Nov. 15.

Cunningham, a senior, hauled in TD passes of 35, 16 and 44 yards. “I don’t really focus on personal stats or records or anything like that, but it’s good to get out here and play well like that,” Cunningham said.

“Whitaker just happened to be Cunningham who they were giving us tonight in the passing game tonight,” CAK head coach Rusty Bradley said. “So that’s who we took advantage with. Whitaker is a speed player for us, does a lot of things after the catch.”

As for Smith’s performance in his sixth varsity start, Bradley said, “Cole is very well ahead of where he should be for a fresh-

man. But he still makes mistakes at times. … He’s getting the ball out of his hand quicker, not as uncertain about things. Just his communication in running our offense.”

Smith finished 13-of-21 for 262 yards, four touchdowns, one interception and one rushing score (4 yards) as No. 6 seeded CAK (6-6) pulled away after leading 21-6 at halftime. Johnson County, No. 7 seeded, finishes 57.

Smith also hooked up with Phillip Nichols on a 27-yard TD strike. “I just relax more, and I’ve gotten more into the offense,” Smith said. “… My whole team, they’ve been there every single time, touchdown, pick, it doesn’t matter. They’re always there to back me up.”

Adding balance was the running of CAK senior Drew Jost (25 carries, 189 yards, TD runs of 9 and 4 yards). “Drew Jost has been an unbelievable player for us this year. … I think he’s the first back that we’ve had to get over a 1,000 yards in the regular season running the football,” Bradley said.

Fresheman running back Keegan Piety scored from 10 yards out lates.

Stephen Neu, Warriors senior kicker, converted all eight of his extra point attempts.

Next up is a second visit to No. 1-ranked Alcoa (11-1) in the 3A quarterfinals starting a 7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 22, as the Warriors look to improve upon a regular season blowout loss at AHS. Despite giving up only one touchdown, the Warriors’ defense struggled a bit in the first half slowing down the Longhorns’ See CAK on Page 9B

ground game, led by junior running back Patrick South (22 carries, 110 yards, two touchdowns).

“We didn’t come out as fast as we wanted to, but we definitely got some fire,” senior defensive back Jake Morganstern said.

Johnson County head coach Mike Atwood said CAK’s passing

attack is right there at the top with Longhorns opponent Sullivan South. “Different styles of throwing the ball. … [CAK] is as good as anybody we’ve played passing the ball.

“And that No. 6 [Cunningham] is just a great receiver,” Atwood added. “He got behind us. We worked on trying to stop him. We saw him on film.”

KEN LAY Correspondent

Webb School of Knoxville has won three of the last four Division II-A state football championships and the Spartans’ lone postseason loss in that span came to University School of Jackson in the 2011 semifinals.

Well, USJ invaded Webb again Friday Spartans 48 night and running USJ 21 b a c k Matthew Melton did his part to help Webb claim a 48-21 victory over the Bruins.

“When they put us out our sophomore year they were celebrating on the field, I remember looking at Todd [Kelly, Jr.] and saying ‘Never again. It’s not Melton gonna happen,’” Melton said after scoring four touchdowns against the Bruins. “For us, it’s all about the [championship] ring and it’s all about that gold ball. We definitely have some unfinished business. A lot of us aren’t going to play at the next level so we want to keep this thing going for as long as we can.

And we don’t want to go out on a sour note.

“My freshman year, we won the back end of a back-to-back and we lost it our sophomore year. We won

last year and we want to win another back-to-back.”

Melton, who was Most Valuable Player of the 2010 state championship game as a freshman, did his part to make sure that the Spartans (8-2) didn’t have a repeat of their 2011 performance against the Bruins (7-5) He rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns on just seven carries and was on the receiving end of a 26yard scoring strike from senior quarterback Johnny Chun.

“I’m certainly proud of Matthew, he’s had a great year,” Spartans’ head coach Dave Meske said.

Friday night’s effort in the quarterfinals represented another stellar effort for Melton. He set the tone by scoring Webb’s first two touchdowns. His first scoring run came on Webb’s inaugural drive and covered 33 yards and gave the Spartans an early lead with 10 minutes, 29 seconds remaining in opening quarter. It capped a fourplay 64-yard drive.

The Bruins would answer that score by engineering a 17-play drive that covered 80 yards. It was prolonged when Webb was flagged for roughing USJ kicker William Cobb on a successful 37-yard field goal attempt. Bruins’ coach Mickey Marley, who opted to take the points off the board, saw his team score two plays later on a 5yard run by sophomore quarterback Easton Underwood. Cobb’s extra point knotted the game at 7 with 5:52 remaining in the first quarter.

Meske was disappointed by the

penalty that prolonged the drive.

“We had too many penalties in the first half, but fortunately, we were able to recover from them,” said Meske, who will lead his squad into battle against undefeated Evangelical Christian School this week in Memphis.

“From here on out, we can’t have those or we’re going to get beat.”

The Spartans dominated things throughout the rest of the first half and took a 14-7 lead on Melton’s 43-yard touchdown with 4:38 to go in the opening frame.

Webb extended its advantage to 21-7 a short time later on a 6-yard run by Kelly, who scored three touchdowns and rushed for 132 yards on 11 carries.

The Spartans scored the only points of the second stanza on Chun’s touchdown strike to Melton just before halftime.

USJ scored first after halftime.

The Bruins took the opening kickoff and engineered a seven-play drive, which was capped by Underwood’s 27-yard touchdown pass to Austin Orr on a fourth-and5 play.

Kelly, scored the next two touchdowns. His had a 10-yard scoring run and scored from 39 yards out to give the Spartans a 42-14 lead early in the second quarter.

Thomas Jordan’s 7-yard touchdown dash made it 48-14 before USJ closed the scoring when Orr caught a 14-yard pass from backup quarterback Jacob Denbrook.

tions are lofty again.

“Our goal is always the same and that’s to go to state,” FHS senior guard Madison Maples said. “That never changes and as far as I know, Farragut has never made it to the state tournament.”

The Lady Ads lost point guard Whitney Smith, guard/forward Madison Blevins and center Katie Overton to graduation and that trio accounted for a majority the squad’s scoring last season.

Those players may have departed but that doesn’t mean that the cupboard is bare.

“We’re probably deeper than we were last year,” Mayfield said.

“But we lost about 60 percent of our scoring.

Top returners for the Lady Admirals include: Maples; Becca Jameson (a senior guard/forward who led the team in scoring in 2012-13); Madyson Newby (senior, center); Miranda Burt (a sophomore guard/forward who made significant contributions when Blevins was injured); Anna Woodford (junior, point guard) and Kristen Freeman (a versatile junior who made the most of her opportunities last year).

In addition to her varsity experience, Freeman was a JV star last season.

“She can play,” Mayfield said of Freeman. “This year, she’ll really get a chance to see what she can do.

“She’ll get a chance to see where she can improve and she averaged 15 or 20 points per game on the JV team the last two

of the second period as Tyler Peter buried the puck behind Farragut senior goalkeeper Dakota Christian and into the back of the net late in the frame.

Christian, a senior at Seymour High School, said he battled nerves early despite being a thirdyear player for the Admirals.

“It was nervous time for me,” he said. “But those nerves seemed to go away once we scored that early goal. It really helped.

“This is definitely tough, but luckily I had some great forwards and they really kept us in it.”

Bjurstrom credited Christian’s effort between the pipes.

“He made some great saves,” Bjurstrom said of Christian.

Farragut had a battle on its hands throughout the first two periods but Bjurstrom said Despins had some encouraging words for the team in the locker

years.”

Top newcomers include sophomore point guard Maegan Hudson (a transfer from Lenoir City) and Sue-Yun Kim, a junior point guard who transferred from Bearden.

Like her coach and teammates, Jameson has big plans for the team.

“It’s going to be a competitive district,” she said. “I’m really excited because we’re really deep and I think all the girls on the varsity [team] can play.”

Meanwhile, Hardin Valley will look to find its place. The Lady Hawks went 20-10 last season and they also have lofty expectations.

“Our expectation is to play hard and see what we can do against our new rivals,” said junior forward/center Lacy Cantrell, who missed last season with a knee injury. “The tougher competition will help everybody get better.

“The [the other teams in the district] will make us better and we will make them better.”

Top returners for the Lady Hawks include: Cantrell; Ja’Tia Williamson (senior, guard); Taylor Bishop (junior, guard); Brooklyn Battle (junior, guard) and Brie Carter (senior, center).

Lady Hawks’ head coach Jennifer Galloway, who begins her sixth year at the school, said her team will prepare well and play hard in its new surroundings.

“I think we’ll be very balanced,” she said. “It will be a challenge but our strengths are that we play hard and we prepare well.

“We have a lot of new people and obviously, we’ve set high goals and we want to make the

region tournament,” Williamson noted that the team will look to improve and prove that it can play.

“This is a district of heavy hitters and we just want to compete as hard as we can,” she said. “We want to play hard and play up to our potential and prove that we’re worthy of playing in this district.”

Bearden had a big season last year and won the Region 2-AAA title without a senior. The Lady Bulldogs went 24-9 but had a short stay in Murfreesboro. There were no seniors last season and the returners are looking for a return trip to the midstate.

“It will definitely be a tougher district this year but we have our goals set high,” said senior guard Erin Walsh. “I think we’ll be ready.

“We’re just taking things one game at a time.”

BHS has added some new players who will look to make their respective marks on the program.

“We have new girls and we can go deeper,” Walsh said.

Lady Bulldogs, coach Justin Underwood, who opens his third season as head coach, said that his team is unselfish and noted that the new players will have to find their way.

“The first thing we have to do is learn how to play with each other,” he said. “We added some pieces and we have players coming back and we have others coming back from injury.

“Our success will depend upon how well we come together.”

Top returners include: Walsh; Lexus Norwood (a senior guard

room at intermission.

“Coach told us to just keep playing hard,” Bjurstrom said.

“He told us not to go easy on them. He told us to keep playing and he told us to keep taking it to them.”

The Ads went out and heeded the coach’s advice. Farragut, which never trailed, took the lead for good when Bjurstrom scored.

Farragut would add two more markers.

Forward Trey Rogoski gave Farragut a 4-2 lead when he scored with 5:54 to go. Gorlewski and Ludington picked up assists on the goal that all but salted the game away.

Bjurstrom scored the Ads’ fifth goal with 3:19 left. It was an unassisted marker.

Despins said he was pleased with his squad’s first game.

“I thought we played pretty good defense and our forwards scored,” Despins said. “We have some great new players and we have some veterans out there.”

Farragut’s might’ve prevailed in its season opener but the victory might’ve been costly as defenseman Austin Scheidt sus-

Stately, contemporary Reynolds has it all A handsome and stately contemporary plan, the Reynolds offers close to 4,000 square feet of indoor living space, plus a three-car garage with plenty of storage.

Smooth painted columns support the graceful entry. Stepped brick detailing rims arched openings to windows and doors, while sidelights and transoms provide additional sparkling accents to the lofty entry.

Stepping inside the vaulted foyer, you can’t help being impressed by the sense of spaciousness. The high ceiling here angles to become fully two stories up in the great room, which is straight ahead. A loft/library bridges and overlooks the first floor, front and back.

To the left of the foyer is a den (or home office). On the right, a wide arched opening leads into the dining room, which is linked to the kitchen via a pass through with a built-in buffet.

A large walk-in pantry is opposite the buffet. The kitchen and nook are bright and spacious. A raised conversation bar defines the two spaces, and an eating bar edges one side of a work island with a vegetable sink.

The adjacent utility room is larger

than most, and has a bathroom specially designed for cleaning off after coming in with muddy footgear and/or clothes.

A two-sided fireplace can be enjoyed from the great room as well as the poolroom, which has a full bar with a bottle storage closet behind it.

Pocket doors on both sides of the fireplace allow the two large rooms to be opened or closed to each other.

All of the bedrooms are upstairs.

Each boasts direct balcony access plus a walk-in closet. The Reynolds’ owners’ suite is, of course, expansive and luxurious.

Visit AssociatedDesigns.com for more information or to search our home plans. A review plan of the Reynolds 30-396, including floor plans, elevations, section, and artist’s conception, can be purchased for $25.

Our home plan catalog, featuring 550 home plans, costs $15. Both are available online, by mail or phone. Add $5 s/h. Associated Designs, 1100 Jacobs Dr., Eugene, OR 97402, (800) 6340123. ~ By Associated Designs
