Mosquito virus diagnosed in Knox County ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

With Knox County’s first case of chikungunya virus diagnosed last week — only the second in Tennessee and 57th nationwide — Knox County Health Department now has an added concern to go with West Nile Virus.

“KCHD is investigating an additional five suspect cases. All of the cases, confirmed and suspect, have recently traveled to the Caribbean,” a KCHD press release stated.

“It’s important to emphasize that the current infection risk is to those who travel to areas, such as the Caribbean, where the disease is highly prevalent,” Dr.

Martha Buchanan, KCHD director, said via e-mail. “We have not seen local transmission in the [United States], meaning that the mosquitoes in the [United States] have not been infected with the disease and cannot, at this time, spread it to humans.”

With any mosquito virus case reported in Knox County, “We’re going to follow [Center For

Disease Control] protocol, which is we try to educate the people that have it about staying indoors and being sure that they don’t get bitten by mosquitoes,” Ronnie Nease, KCHD director of Environmental Health, said. “We would encourage a member of the family to go outside and check all of the standing water because it is a container breeder

Cats gone missing ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Nita Smothers lost her identical twin sister, Rita Burch, to cancer December 27, 2013.

It so happens that Rita was, like Nita, a huge cat lover.

Which makes it all the harder for Smothers and her husband, Michael Smothers, of Sugarwood subdivision to deal with finding one of the family’s two missing cats — Mango, a 2-year-old orange tabby that went missing Friday, June 13 — dead inside a plastic bag near their home Thursday, June 19.

This is just one of several missing cat or killed cat stories all within the last few weeks involving Town residents plus three other subdivisions in Concord.

“My stepdad had been going in the woods around the subdivision and found a plastic bag out there and opened it up and found one of our cats in it,” Nita Smothers’ daughter, Lindsay DeLay, said about Mango.

“I was crying my eyes out after my husband had walked up to the porch and said, ‘I just found Mango’s body,’” Nita Smothers said. “We’re heartbroken. It’s

hard for me to even think about.”

Scrambles, a 5 or 6-year-old “gray-and-black-strip-ped” tabby, went missing between Tuesday night, June 17, and Wednesday morning, June 18.

Making regular trips to YoungWilliams Animal Shelter off Sutherland Avenue in search of Scrambles, DeLay said she was planning to stop by Knox County Sheriff’s Office’s Town Hall office and file a report. “I feel like there should be something done,” she added.

“It’s so horrible, they’re a part of our family,” Nita Smothers said. “We’ve had Scrambles for almost seven years now. Mango was 3-and-a-half years old, maybe 4.”

Nikki Conley, a Derby Chase subdivision resident, said her “really big, orange, long-haired” cat, Leo, went missing May 18. “… He doesn’t have a tag, he’s not micro-chipped.

“It does seem like something’s going on, but I don’t know what,” she added. “I’ve had people call and say that they’ve seen a cat like him, and I’ve checked everySee CATS on Page 4A

Redflex contract end draws near ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Town of Farragut’s five-year red-light camera contract with Redflex, which ends “somewhere around the first of November,” has been “real close to cost neutral” and “focused on getting people to stop at red lights” versus making money.

That’s the accessment from Town Traffic Enforcement manager Ben Harkins, emphasizing the only revenue stream Redflex receives from the Town has been based on a percentage of citation dollars, and that no tax dollars have been spent for the installation, operation or maintenance of the cameras.

“The only cost the Town has, they have to employ me, or

somebody like me to handle the program. And they have to pay for office space,” Harkins, the Town’s only red-light camera employee (part-time), added.

With Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen left to decide whether or not to renew the contract, “I suspect they’ll make a decision sometimes after the elections are over [Tuesday, Aug. 7]. I don’t think they’ll be a decision made by the current Board,” Harkins said. “… It’ll probably be one of the first things that hits them when the new member or members come on board.

“Professionally I believe that they should continue [the program] because I think it’s an effective way to get people to See REDFLEX on Page 4A

that carries this. It’s important that they do a thorough search of their property. Pour out any standing water that they find. …

You need to use an appropriate repellant when you’re outdoors. I use it personally every time you go outside. … If you don’t want to use repellant, use long sleeves See VIRUS on Page 2A

As Independence Day approaches safety is an important aspect to keep in mind, especially with fireworks.

Town of Farragut, as well as all of Knox County, enforces a ban on fireworks, a law that some individuals forget or ignore in the heat of the season.

Capt. Jeff Palmer, Farragut liaison with Knox County Sheriff’s Office describes the ban on fireworks from the actual code itself.

Fireworks are technically considered contraband in all of Knox County, including Farragut, meaning officers have the right to confiscate them as contraband. The owner and/or user of the fireworks would be charged with a civil offense and issued a citation for violating the provision of the adopted fire code.

“And basically follow their physician’s recommendations.”

Moreover, “Children’s toys and wading pools are really bad,” Nease added. “Any tires or buckets or drip pans under flower pots.”

However, “We’ve been very clean on West Nile” as of testing countywide through Friday, June 20, No KCHD spraying takes place “until we have a positive confirmation from the [tested] mosquitoes of West Nile Virus,” Nease said.

West Nile “came into the United States in 1999 in New York state,” Nease added. “…

It’s transferred by birds, so when

they migrated out of the north they brought it south with them.”

West Nile “is a lot more deadly” versus chikungunya, Nease added.

As for chikungunya, where most of those infected recently visited the Caribbean, it is not considered deadly for those who have healthy or relatively healthy immune systems.

However, it would be a major concern “for those [age] 70 and above or people with immune compromise” such as cancer patients undergoing radiation and/or chemotherapy according to Nease.

“If they develop the symptoms they need to stay inside and reduce their risk of coming in contact with mosquitoes,” Nease added.

Conley said she goes by Young Williams Animal Shelter “every three days. And I check Craig’s List every day.”

Along with husband, Brian Conley, “We have a little girl, Savannah, who just turned 5 and every day she asks about him,” Conley added. “Of course, she goes to the animal shelter with me looking for him.

“It’s hard not knowing what’s become of him. He’s very well loved. We’re missing him a lot.

which is in chapter 33 within the international fire code says, ‘The possession, manufacture, storage, sale, handling and use of fireworks are prohibited’ and the qualification is that you have to have a permit,” Palmer said.

Knox County and the Town’s adoption of this code is a feature set up for safety purposes, according to Dan Johnson, town of Farragut fire marshal.

“The ordinance has been long standing and put in place for the safety of our residents, especially our youth, because that tends to be where a lot of injuries occur,” Johnson said.

But neither Johnson nor Palmer is against fireworks — if used legally.

“It’s not that we don’t allow fireworks. We only allow permanent firework shows by state licensed fireworks shooters … our recommendation is that they attend one of the professionally conducted shows, which have a great deal of safety levels built into them,” Johnson added.

Despite the illegality of fireworks, the Town and Knox

stop for red lights,” Harkins added.

Harkins said Redflex “could extend the contract with or without modifications” should the Town agree, “or they can re-bid it and open it up to other vendors, potentially, or they could completely do away with it.”

As for red-light camera effectiveness safety-wise, Harkins said, “I talk to many people and have many friends out here, and

We’d had him since he was a kitten, about four years.”

Barbara Perfetto of North Fox Den subdivision said she and her family “don’t really know” what happened to her roughly 2year-old “shorthaired, domestic cat” with “blond” fur, Oliver, which went missing Saturday, June 14.

“Our cat is an indoor cat, and somehow he got out,” she added. “… He has a tag around his neck that says ‘Monty.’”

No one from the three families said they knew of any fellow subdivision residents with cats missing.

County annually receive countless complaint calls for fireworks use.

“It’s not something we aggressively enforce, so it would be so overwhelming,” Palmer said.

The high number of complaint calls often results in the officers stacking the reports into a tier system, allowing them to check on the areas while on their standard routes for the evening.

“There’s so many people doing that, and what we try to do is just limit our response to problem situations … people that are being blatantly reckless or using them around children, or if we get several complaints within a particular neighborhood or something … it’s just we get everybody and their brother firing off firecrackers or fireworks during the fourth,” he added.

Johnson and Palmer recommend going outside Knox County lines if shooting fireworks is something residents want to do.

Call Knox County Sheriff’s Office at 865-215-2243 or town of Farragut office at 865-966-7057 to report the use of fireworks or to ask questions about the adopted fire code. it’s amazing the number of people I talk to who tell me that they have changed their habits as they approach traffic lights.”

That’s despite red-light camera enforcement for right-turnon-red violations having been overturned by the state’s General Assembly “a couple of years ago, maybe two-and-a-half years ago,” Harkins added.

Harkins noted that caution light time at all four red-light camera intersections (Kingston Pike-Smith Road, Kingston PikeCampbell Station Road, Kings-

• I can’t believe the nonsense coming out of the mouth of the owner of a local … store and I am intentionally not using its name because publicity is clearly what this guy is after. To knowingly rent space in a community that has and enforces its sign ordinances … I drive by his place all the time and his truck was clearly a sign. Instead, he ignores the Town sign ordinance claiming the rules don’t apply to him and somehow he should be exempt from the same rules that all the other businesses follow within our town. I say good riddance to him and applaud our Town leaders for enforcing this ordinance. As for his threats of legal action, yeah right, does he really think any court is going to say a town can’t enforce its own ordinance?

• Please don’t allow a cellular tower at the corner of Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road in the center of Farragut. How can you have sign ordinances and other rules to keep Farragut beautiful and even consider

allowing a cell tower right in the middle of town at the major intersection?

• Everyone contact the town of Farragut and let them know strongly that you are against the 160-foot-tall, 16-story cell tower right in the middle of the town of Farragut. One is being proposed on the old Silver Spoon site. This is what you’ll see every single day.

• I read that the town of Farragut is considering allowing a 16-story (160 ft) cellular tower on the corner of Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road!

Everyone rise up and fight this.

Remember where Silver Spoon was, right in the center of town?

That, ladies and gentlemen, is where this will be, where you can see it every single day, as you go to school, run errands, grocery shop, dine at Aubrey’s, what a beautiful picturesque historical town we will be, won’t we?

Editor’s Note: Though a Chicago-based company expressed interest in installing a tower, the Town has not approved any cellular tower at

the corner of Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road. Town ordinances do not allow anyone to erect a cellular tower on any land within the Town except on Town property.

• The gentleman who offered to help move a business out of Farragut, maybe he ought to buy some moving trucks and go into business for himself and move all the businesses that are going to be moving out of Farragut.

Maybe he needs to look around and see all the empty spaces in buildings there are in Farragut and needs to realize that when one business moves out it’s not just the business he brought to the area, it’s the business that he did with the other local businesses. Pretty soon it will be nothing but a ghost town or large Fortune 500 companies and your small, little town will be overrun.

There are five billboards in front of my business, none of which are advertising local businesses.

Better wake up.

“We have that independently verified each year,” he added.

“… The caution lights are plenty long enough, if you’re paying attention, to have plenty of time to stop.”

Though Harkins said he’s “conservative” about issuing citations — citing only clear violators as opposed to borderline situations

the camera still records — “nobody from Redflex and nobody from the Town has suggested more tickets or less tickets be given or that any particular person should or shouldn’t get a ticket,” he added.

Steffen-Jet’s Pizza charity golf raises $14,000-plus ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Sinking long birdie putts, such as the 30-footer Dan Wallace nailed on No. 6 hole at Landmark Golf Club at Avalon, helps make events such as the 5th annual Don Steffen Charity Golf Classic presented by Jet’s Pizza especially rewarding.

Playing partners Steve Prince and Ty Merchant celebrated Wallace’s success — one of 11 teams participating in this 18hole best ball fundraiser Saturday, June 21 — with a couple of cold beers and lighthearted humor moments later in their golf cart.

But in the end it was the foursome of Paul White, Eric Johnson, Tim Hamilton and Joe Hamilton taking home the firstplace spoils.

Peter Smith, David Mayes, Steve Wilson and Brian Rose finished second.

Ashley Middlebrooks, marketing manager for Jet’s Pizza in East Tennessee, announced that 44 participants helped raise more than $14,000 to beat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.”

Brian Rose tees off on No. 8 hole, Landmark Golf Club at Avalon, during 5th annual Don Steffen Charity Golf Classic presented by Jet’s Pizza, Saturday, June 21. Looking on are playing partners, from left, Steve Wilson, Peter Smith and David Mayes. This foursome finished second among the 11-team field. Rose, meanwhile, earned the chance at $5,000 if he holed a 50-putt at No. 18 during a special post-tourney contest. Rose did not make the putt.

Dodgen, ex-FHS hoops coach, named District 4-AAA coordinator ■ ALAN SLOAN

asloan@farragutpress.com

Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association’s top man, Bernard Childress, recognized that Donald Dodgen was the right man to oversee District 4AAA athletics.

With 30 years as a high school basketball head coach, and in recent years serving as 4-AAA

Basketball Tournament director while chair of Physical Education a n d We l l n e s s Department at Farragut Dodgen High School, Dodgen was named coordinator

for District 4-AAA athletics on behalf of TSSAA last week. “... It is our hope that you will take this position ...,” Childress, TSSAA executive director, stated in a letter to the former FHS varsity hoops skipper (1996-2010) dated May 28.

Dodgen said he accepted Thursday, June 12.

“It’s an honor to be asked and an honor to serve. I was sur-

TERMITES?

prised when they called me from TSSAA and asked me if I would serve,” Dodgen, with 41 years experience as an educator and 37 as a head coach overall, said.

“Bernard Childress called me and asked me if I would be interested in serving.

“I asked, ‘Do I qualify?’”

Dodgen, also a physical education teacher and assistant athletic director at FHS, added. “The

reason I asked that is normally you’re either a principal, assistant principal or athletic director that serves on this. He said, ‘You meet all the criteria.’”

High school athletics “is something I have a passion for,” Dodgen, 64, said.

where he’s led the Red Rebels to several state champions, also is MHS athletic director.

Knowing Dodgen well, “I think he loves all athletics. Extremely organized. He’s up on the latest rule changes and issues that we have to think about in our sports,” Quarles said. “I think it’s a great choice. I think District 4AAA is going to be very well represented with coach Dodgen.”

Representing FHS, Hardin Valley Academy, Bearden, Heritage, Maryville, Lenoir City, William Blount and West, Dodgen will “work with all eight schools if there’s anything that needs to be done like questions to be answered. Tournament stuff,” he said. “All awards will be sent to me and I’ll deliver all the awards to all the tournaments for all the schools.

“If school A has a problem and I can’t help them with that problem, then I’ll call and talk to TSSAA” asking “‘What do you recommend?’” Dodgen added.

Other examples include “help them work on sportsmanship and if they have problems with scheduling, things like that,” Dodgen said. “If school A has a problem scheduling school B, then I’m going to talk to school A and school B” and ask, “‘What can we do to remedy this?’

“I will work closely with the athletic directors and principals at all eight schools,” he added.

Dodgen included a special salute to a pair of his former coaches: Eugene Huskey at Gatlinburg-Pittman, where Dodgen was a high school AllAmerican in the late 1960s, and Dwain Farmer at Tennessee Wesleyan College, where Dodgen was a star forward in the early 1970s.

“I learned a lot about life and a lot about athletics from those two guys,” Dodgen said.

Though the turnout “wasn’t as many as we wanted this year,” Middlebrooks added, “I am thrilled with the amount of money and that’s what it’s all about. We’ll be able to give back to [fight] ALS.” As for the spoils, “First-place winners win a $100 gift card to the Avalon pro shop and a plaque that has their picture on it,” Middlebrooks said. “Second place will get Jet’s Pizza coupons plus and a $50 gift card to the pro shop.”

Rose earned the right, based on qualifying putts, to sink a 50foot putt on No. 18 hole and win $2,500.

Steve Noland and Wayne Walls each took a shot at $50,000, earning the right for a “Shootout:” teeing off at No. 18 and attempting a hole-in-one, from 160 yards, which if successful would earn either the $50,000.

None of the three won big money.

Among the participants was Diann Steffen, event co-founder, with family members Angela Steffen, Brian Steffen and Richard Steffen plus Sandy Hanson making up one of the 11 teams.

Five FHS students singled out, each earn Rotary scholarship

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Five Farragut High School Career Technical Education students from the Class of 2014, all scheduled to attend Pellissippi State Community College, were singled out for merit and each given a $500 Rotary scholarship.

The brainchild of Ed Engle,

past president of The Rotary Club of Turkey Creek Sunset, these club scholarships were officially awarded during the club’s regular Tuesday meeting, May 20, in Faith Lutheran Church.

Lisa Bolt (majoring in graphics design); Arturo Leon (accounting); Alexander Crateau (criminal justice); Kelsey Hughes (computer science) and Christian

Boone (career in mechanical/automotive engineering) were recognized by Jerry Martin, FHS Education Foundation president.

Martin reinforced a point made earlier in the ceremony by Engel.

“Most scholarships that are available at the high school level are for students going on to four-year schools and going on to other

career-type paths,” he said.

“When Ed first approached me a couple of years ago with the idea of doing this, we were very excited. So we’re very happy to administer the Rotary Club scholarships as well as other scholarships.”

As for criteria, Martin said, “The actual choosing of the students is done by the faculty of the

Since his freshman year at Knoxville Catholic High School, Ben Nadolsky of Farragut had dreamed of attending Stanford University: known worldwide for its top resources, highachieving students, award-winning scholars and renowned graduates.

But just when Nadolsky’s dream fell into his lap thanks to excellent academic work in four years at KCHS — with Stanford accepting him March 28 — Nadolsky already had developed the heart of a Bulldog.

That would be a Yale Bulldog, an Ivy League school matching Stanford for worldwide acclaim.

To major in biomedical engineering, Nadolsky’s new address starting in August will be New Haven, Conn. after a “real tough decision” started with Yale accepting him in December 2013.

“I had to make a decision by May 1,” Nadolsky, 17, said. “I made it like the day before.”

“You can only apply early to either Stanford or Yale, you can’t do both. So he applied early to Yale,” Pam Nadolsky, Ben’s mother, said.

Stanford’s late March acceptance, after Ben said he sent his application into Stanford in November, created a good problem for this high achieving 2014 KCHS graduate and National Honors Society honoree.

“Stanford has always been the school I wanted to go to,” Ben said. “I was shocked. I didn’t See NADOLSKY on Page 6B

museum committee members, as well as Maj. Brian Tobler, who served with U.S. Special Operations in Iwo Jima, Operation Desert Storm and Iraq.

“I just think it’s important for people to see these things they wouldn’t get to see otherwise,” Tobler said. Many veterans, Tobler added, usually do not take out items for people to see.

Among the items Tobler shared are pre-mission notes from his service in Iraq, documents from Operation Desert Storm and Iraq and items from Iwo Jima.

“These were things I carried with me every day,” he said. “They are a reminder of the missions I went on and things like that.

“I hope people will enjoy it,” he added.

Admiral Performing Arts Company Drama Camp will take the stage for the fourth consecutive year at Farragut High School starting Monday, July 21 through Friday, July 25, thanks to a couple of teachers and even more high school volunteer counselors.

The camp is designed for students ages 8-14 and goes from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. each day.

Campers will learn new acting skills, improvisation and prepare a musical production to show on the last day, all for $100. David Crutcher, FHS drama teacher, is in the process of planning the camp for his third year.

“They do 40 minute sessions on things like improvisation, musical theatre, theatre games and get excited about all this with kids in their age group. In the afternoon, they do some scene work and they work on a big group musical number together,” Crutcher said about the camp schedule.

“At the end of the week on Friday, parents come to a showcase and we show their musical number with all of them in it,” he added.

Drama Camp seems to be growing in popularity, as the department had to cap the number of campers last summer at 40. Applications are available on the FHS homepage. Spots are given on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Farragut Intermediate School fifth-graders entertained their fellow students and learned about prominent people in history while portraying characters in a wax museum.

“We have done this for several years, and the students really enjoy it, not the writing of the paper as much as the dressing up and displaying their knowledge of the character,” said Antoinette Williams, Professional Learning Community leader and one of the teachers involved in the program.

“All of our fifth-grade classes

participated,” Williams added.

The wax museum took place Thursday, May 15, and Tuesday, May 20, in the school cafeteria.

Parents were invited to attend.

The students read a book and researched a character on the Internet then wrote a research paper, dressed as the character chosen and gave their presentation.

Each student chose a different person to read in biography books or research on the Internet, Williams said.

In the museum, the students would “become” those persons in the form of a statue. Visitors and other FIS students could walk by

the “characters,” touch the student-made “buttons,” and the students would tell about the characters they portrayed. They had to tell for what the person was best known or what made them famous, what were some tools the person might have used, how the person dressed and other interesting information about the famous person.

Many students dressed as historical figures, such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or Gen. John J. Pershing, who led the American Expeditionary Forces in World War 1.

Hot weather cause for dog owners’ concern

■

COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com

The typical East Tennessee summer weather has officially hit the Farragut area and is heating up all kinds of safety questions, including those concerning the four-legged friends.

Questioning the safety of dogs exercising with their owners in the heat of the year is a popular one with a simple answer — be conscious of the time of day the exercising happens.

“If it is too hot for a person to go out, I would apply that to an animal,” Dr. Matt Brent from Concord Veterinary Hospital, 11904 Kingston Pike, said.

“It is really a question of whether or not you are doing it in a correct time of the day and where you are taking your pet,” Photo submitted

Tate a loyal BHS ‘Dawg’

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

It would be hard for anyone to match Jack Tate’s loyalty and affection for, and enjoyment at, Bearden High School.

Apparently his students feel the same loyalty toward Tate.

On top of coaching baseball at Bearden for the past 33 years — in addition to being a 1978 BHS graduate — Tate recently finished his 19th year at the school teaching a combination of film studies, government, economics, personal finance and U.S. history.

“To me, the kids at Bearden, they are so well behaved and have great manners. I’ve never had a bad class at Bearden High School in 19 years,” Tate said.

“I haven’t sent a kid to the office in 19 years, not once.”

Moreover, as a baseball coach — which included three years as Bulldogs head coach during which Tate led his 2012 team to the Class AAA state title game — “I’ve had a ball every day for 33 years coaching baseball. I’ve never had a bad day,” he said. “… I’ve worked with seven different head baseball coaches I think.

“Bearden High School is where I feel at home,” he added. “I love being with the players and the students in class.”

Dr. John Bartlett, BHS principal, said Tate “is a teacher and coach that is fully invested in Bearden High School. When you walk into his classroom you recognize it is a student-centered classroom by just seeing the pictures of current and former students on his wall.

“Coach Tate is a student centered, excellent teacher. If you were to ask his students, you will quickly find out they felt valued and comfortable in his classroom, enabling them to be themselves and learn the curriculum,” Bartlett added.

Volunteering right and left assisting Bulldogs sports while a BHS student, “I was always around the team doing statistics and other things to help out,” Tate, 53, said. “I was keeping basketball stats at the time for boys and girls, and football stats.”

While still doing Bulldogs football stats “now I think for 33 years,” Tate added, “I haven’t missed a football game since 1975; 401 straight football games. I’ve kept stats for roughly 340 games. I started that in the early 80s.”

As for coaching, “I started coaching on a voluntary basis while I was in college my junior year,” Tate said. “Some of the players and parents asked me to coach them in the summer. …

Coaching some JV games, things like that.”

When not teaching at BHS,

Tate was a Tennessee history, world studies and health teacher at Bearden Middle School from the 1985-86 through 1992-93 school years.

The bottom line is, “I’ve never taken one day or one game for granted,” Tate said.

tures of the camp for Crutcher is the fact that his high school students serve as counselors for the young campers. Jay Muller, a FHS Class of 2014 graduate, plans on helping with the organization and serving as a counselor this year despite receiving his diploma in May. “I look forward to some of the kids of whom I already know there and new ones and just kind of

Dr. Stephanie Hickey from Admiral Veterinary Hospital, 204 Watt Road, said.

“We always avoid running in the heat of the day,” Dr. Catherine Moe from Village Veterinary Medical Center, 11301 Kingston Pike, said.

The general rule for owners to keep in mind is that if it is too hot for the human to go exercise, then it is also too hot for the dog. This rule applies to both the time of day and hydration tendencies.

“Animals need to hydrate before, during — depending on the length of exercise or the heat — and definitely after [exercising] they need to drink,” Brent said.

“I recommend that if people go out on a hot day even walking that you hydrate, and that if you

are going to be out for more than an hour or so that you hydrate during that event, even if it is just going to the dog park or running, allowing access to water is certainly wise,” he added.

Hydration is not the only area of concern when exercising your pet in the summer, though.

Sunburn and footpad burns are major afflictions to watch for in dogs.

“Some dogs that have the longer hair coat can actually be protected against the heat, so sometimes shaving that longer hair coat can actually predispose them to having more trouble with the heat,” Moe said.

“In the heat of the day, you always have to remember that

watching as they learn new things and grow to love it … they kind of develop a sense of joy for whatever it is we are doing,” Muller said.

The student counselors’ enthusiasm is what makes the camp successful for Crutcher.

“You know, when you are in intermediate or middle school, there is nothing in the world cooler than a high school student taking an interest in what you are doing,” Crutcher said.

Another added bonus for the FHS drama department is that some of

the campers eventually get involved with the Admiral Performing Arts Company because of their positive camp experiences.

“We are actually already reaping the direct benefits. We have some students in the high school program who participated in the camp as middle schoolers,” Crutcher said.

Write that thank you note before bed! Do it now With graduations and weddings soon upon us, it occurred to me to write about the dreaded “Thank You Note.” I know we’re all grateful people and so are our kids, but somehow writing thank you notes can loom over us. One survey revealed that writing thank you notes was number seven on the top ten things we tend to put off doing. For me, it’s number three on my list of put-offs.

My best advice is to keep a good supply of Pam Thank You Young Notes on Make it hand. It’d be a good Fun! idea to put a few in a Zip-Lock bag along with some stamps in your purse for those times you end up having to wait, like in the dentist’s office, on a flight or while you wait at the beauty salon. (Just think how thankful you could be when at a standstill in a traffic jam!) I found that The Dollar Store has a wonderful supply of Thank You Notes for; you guessed it, a dollar!

When I was a little girl, my mom was relentless about mak-

ing me send my grandparents thank you notes after Christmas and birthdays. Grandma Dot and Grandpa Buddy’s check came faithfully on those occasions and every day until I’d finally sit down and write the card, mom was on my case. I remember hating those nagging words, “Have you written your thank you note yet?”

I asked my friend Marci who is an exemplar mother with two adorable adult children, “Did you hound your kids to write thank you notes after Christmas, birthdays and graduations?”

“Nope.”

“Really? You mean they just did it without being badgered?”

“Well, not exactly. I just said, ‘You wanna play with that toy, read that new book spend that money? Write your thank you notes first and then you can.’”

“You mean they had to write thank you notes BEFORE they got to have the gift?”

“Yep.” There you go! I think that’s brilliant! The proverbial toy, book or money on a stick thing. I asked my three adult children if they remembered me being a stickler for them to write thank you notes and they don’t remember that.

It’s probably because I wasn’t good at writing them myself. Just last year I put off sending a thank you note to our friends after a lovely dinner (mainly because I was out of thank you notes) and

finally many months later I just sent them a thank you in a leftover Congratulations on Your New Job card explaining my reason for being late and why I used the inappropriate card.)

Now as a grandparent, I’m more often than not on the receiving (or not receiving) end of the thank you note problem.

With 12 grandchildren and half of them far away, I send cash, so I’m always a little antsy to know if a child received the money. I don’t fault them when they’re late in sending thank you notes, I just want to know they got the money, not some birthday card thief. I really understand how busy children are. I know our grandchildren love us and they truly appreciate getting the money. By the way, I have created a video with ten funny and clever ways to give cash as a gift. It’s called Everybody Loves Money (ELM) and if you go to my website you can order it.

Just this month, I hadn’t heard from my 15-year-old granddaughter whom we’d sent money to for her birthday on May 1, so I called my son.

Ring, ring, ring, “Hello?”

“Hi, Michael. I was wonderin’ if Brooklyn got her birthday card and the money.”

“Big sigh….yeah, she did and I told her, ‘you gotta thank the old people ‘cause they don’t have

anything else to do but sit around waitin’ to know if you got your card and money.’”

“Well! I beg your pardon Mister, is that what you picture us doing?”

He snickered his way out of that, blaming his opinion more on his father (my ex) doing that.

Short and Sweet Marci and I agreed that one of the problems kids face when writing a thank you note is knowing what to say. We both agreed that the message can be very simple.

Dear Grandma Dot, Thank you for the money, I really appreciate it. I love you and miss you.

Love, Pammy (The, “I love you and miss you” are very important things to say to those “old people.”)

Incidentally, I hand wrote that thank you note and it took me less than a minute; another minute and I could have addressed an envelope and put a stamp on it.

Because I know how busy our grandchildren are, I have thought that I could include with the card and money, a thank you note already written and to include a self-addressed stamped envelope.

All the kid would have to do is sign it and send it! It would say something like: Dear Grandma and Grandpa, I love you and miss you soooo

much. You are the most wonderful, youthful, handsome and beautiful grandparents I have.

Thank you for the money, I’m saving it toward college with some in a special fund so I can help take care of you when you need it.

XOXOXOXO Love, I don’t know, maybe we shouldn’t let kids off the thank-you-notehook. Maybe it’s good to teach them to be thankful and have the decency to write to their benefactors. If you think so, let’s adopt Marci’s thank you note model of thank before you use. And if you have older children who are graduating, give them a nice supply of thank you notes and hold all monies and gifts ransom until the notes are written and sent.

I read that Emily Post said the bride and groom have one year to send out thank you notes for wedding gifts, but I don’t think Marci would approve. I’ll bet she told her kids on their wedding day “You get those thank you notes out before you go to bed!”

Speaking of thank yous, thank you for reading my olumn. To see more go here http://hub.am/R3ICtA To see what Pam’s got up her cyber-sleeve, check out www.cluborganized.com. Want to get organized? Join the club!

While Ben Nadolsky goes over some of his Yale University literature, his grandmother, Theresa Nadolsky, right, points out some exciting information during Ben’s visit to her home in Fox Den Saturday afternoon, May 31. Also joining in are Pam Nadolsky’s, Ben’s mother, and Julian Nadolsky, his grandfather.

think it was possible.

“We flew out there the summer after my sophomore year.”

Acceptance from this Palo Alto, Calif. University surprised Ben’s mother.

“They sent notification on his phone,” Pam said. “And he rolls into my bedroom and says, ‘Mom I’ve been accepted to Stanford.’

And I said, ‘Ben it’s not April Fools yet.’ … Then he showed it to me.”

With an excruciating decision looming, “We went and visited Stanford again, and we went up to Yale and visited again,” Ben said.

Given Ben’s long-standing love of Stanford, how did Yale become his choice?

“One is being closer to home: you can drive to Yale; you can’t

drive to Stanford,” Ben said.

“And we had more family in the area. Not in Connecticut but in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania. That was one of the big factors.”

Another huge factor involves the fact that Ben has been wheelchair bound following paralysis “when my immune system attacked my spinal cord” at age 9.

“It was just a freak accident. It was an overreaction to a cold.”

His resulting challenge “almost makes you work harder because you want to prove to everyone else that you can do it,” Ben added.

Therefore, Yale scoring big on “housing, personal care assistance, personal needs accommodations,” was a huge factor, Ben said. That also included the Yale campus having a flatter terrain that would allow Ben to get around easier.

One factor Pam said impressed her, “Yale wants you to contact them. They’re very open and very welcoming.

Whereas Stanford is more reserved.”

In addition, “It’s very affordable,” Ben said about Yale.

Yale also won out with Ben and Pam among the four Ivy League schools they toured in June 2013: also Harvard, Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania.

“I didn’t like Philadelphia, that’s why I didn’t like Penn.

The big city isn’t me,” Ben said.

“The reason I didn’t like Harvard, they just felt cold, they didn’t feel real welcoming. And Cambridge was too busy for me.”

“Dartmouth was really beautiful, but I just didn’t feel as attached to it as I did after going to Yale and Stanford,” Ben added.

The wax museum was a joint effort on part of all fifth-grade teachers, Williams said. Williams, fellow PLC leader Karen Harris

and other grade-level teachers helped pull it together.

In addition to the wax museum, students also took part in a variety/talent show Friday, May 16, in Farragut Middle School gym, a fifth-grade field day and an awards ceremony, during which every grade had at least four winners.

During the variety show, students showed their talents by singing, dancing and even skateboarding before fellow students, teachers and parents.

“I’m really excited and really proud of myself for all that I’ve achieved,” Foster said before the ceremony.

Leon said before the ceremony, “I would like to thank Rotary for the scholarship. It will be very useful. It won’t go to waste.”

Announcing his college plans to the gathering, Leon said, “I’ll probably be [at PSCC] for one year, and after that I’ll transfer to UT.” In addition to seeking his undergraduate degree in accounting, Leon added, “A master’s degree too.”

you are wearing shoes and they are not, so they can get hurt,” Brent added.

Although the pad burns are not the most common injury veterinarians see, the burns can get severe if the owner is not aware that it could happen.

Recommendations for avoiding the burns include keeping the dog on the grass or off of blacktop surfaces.

Another aspect all veterinarians agree upon is that some breeds are not anatomically made for running. These “smoosh-faced” breeds, such as pugs and bulldogs, do not have

the ability to cool off as efficiently as other dogs. Arctic breeds, such as the great pyrenees and the husky, also are not made for extreme heat, so caution must be taken.

Common advice from area veterinarians include bringing water on the run, staying on a shaded path, going out in the early hours of the day or near the sunset and checking with the dog’s veterinarian before bringing the furry friend on the typical exercise regimen. Parks, dog parks and hikes are other ways to get your dog active in the summer.

“Common sense should rule when you are exercising an animal,” Brent added.

Dixie Lee Wines & Liquors, 13044 Kingston Pike at Dixie Lee Junction, is expanding its business.

The owners, the Taylor family, are adding a walk-in beer cooler, tasting room and additional office space, which are currently under construction.

“It really has been a labor of love for us,” co-owner Ellen Taylor Jones said. “Everybody’s had a hand in the decisions being made, all of the planning, everything.”

Sam Taylor II and his wife, Linda, bought the business in 1988. They are both now retired and their four children, Ellen Jones, Sam Taylor III, Andy Taylor and Melanie Brown run the business.

The store’s expansion will mean an additional 1,400 square feet to its existing 7,000-squarefoot building, store manager Andy Taylor said.

“We’ve been looking for a location [in Farragut] for a year or so because we have a lot of customers who come from Farragut, Lenoir City and out west,” Susan Tate said. “We just really liked the space that we found.

“It has 20-foot ceilings, really nice windows and an outdoor patio,” she added. “And, there’s just something about it that looks French to me.”

Alan Tate said the Farragut site also will offer better parking.

He said the Farragut restaurant will have a similar décor as the downtown site, featuring chande-

liers and items the couple brought back from France.

Susan Tate said they chose Farragut was because they liked the aesthetics.

“It just seems like a nice community to have a business. It’s a beautiful town,” she said.

French Market Crêperie opened in downtown Knoxville Oct. 1, 2008, Alan Tate said.

“My husband and I spent two winters in Paris, and we usually spend a lot of time in France and in Paris,” Susan Tate said. “There was a crêperie around the corner from an apartment we lived in when we were in Paris, so we

really became fascinated with crêpes; and we liked to cook, so we just thought [opening a French restaurant] would be fun.”

People can come in to French Market Crêperie for breakfast, lunch or supper. Susan Tate said most of the items are not over $10.

Alan Tate said flour for the crêpes are all imported from France. Patrons can get traditional or buckwheat savory crêpes and sweet crêpes made with traditional flour.

one-stop shopping experience for our customers,” Jones said. “We certainly want to thank our loyal customers for putting up with all the noise and mess during this construction phase. We can’t wait for everyone to see the finished product.”

Additionally, the store has its own mobile App, which was launched Friday, June 13. It will have App-only specials, as well as access to weekly specials, and the “Dixie Lee Lickers” album,

which has photos of customers’ pets.

“I think the main focus here will be what it’s always been, to have great customer service, the most variety of products and competitive pricing” Jones said.

The recent changes in state laws allow liquor stores, such as Dixie Lee Wines & Liquors, to sell beer and other items starting Sunday, July 1, Andy Taylor said.

“Right now, it’s crunch time,” Jones said. “Plans are to have the beer cooler operational before July 4 so we will be able to sell domestic and regular beers, in

addition to the high gravity beers that we currently sell.

Jones said her family has been hoping to add a wine tasting room for many years. Tennessee passed legislation that allowed retailers to have in-store tastings.

“We’re very excited about [getting the wine tasting room],” she said. “A lot of the ideas for the wine tasting room were actually my father’s. He had a vision for that.

“We tweaked it a little bit with advice from other people, so it’s really going to be interesting to see how it all comes together.”
