HWWW trophy presented to Knoxville Catholic ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Among Steve Matthews’ accomplishments after two seasons as Knoxville Catholic High School varsity football head coach is a stellar regular season record. Farragutpress How the West Was Won trophy presented by 3 Minute Magic Carwash was earned by Matthews’ Irish with nine regular season wins (9-1 record), three better than runner-up Hardin Valley Academy. The trophy was presented to Matthews during the Catholic 2014 Football Awards Banquet — which also honored band, dance team and cheerleaders — in the school’s gym Sunday evening, Jan. 11. “It was a clear runaway,” Jim Rooney, owner/operator of 3 Minute Magic Carwash and contest sponsor the past six seasons, said. “It’s super impressive, two years in a row, back to back. Shows excellence in coaching and athletics and dedication to team.” Though Rooney was unable to
attend the ceremony, Julie Gunter, farragutpress advertising representative, presented the award to Matthews. “We want to thank Jim Rooney and 3 Minute Magic Carwash for their continued sponsorship of this award,” Gunter said. In a brief speech, Gunter addressed Matthews, the entire KCHS coaching staff, team and parents along with Catholic boosters, teachers and administrators. “We would like to present the farragutpress How the West Was Won trophy, sponsored by 3 Minute Magic Carwash, on behalf of its owner, Jim Rooney. The farragutpress would like to congratulate the Fighting Irish of Knoxville Catholic on an outstanding season,” Gunter said. “For the second year in a row the Fighting Irish have won the farragutpress How the West Was Won contest for the best regular season record. “This contest pits the best records of the three West Knox County [public] high schools and See HWWW on Page 2A

Continental plans apartments ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A Wisconsin-based properties company is looking to build a two story, 236-unit “gated and fenced Class-A market rate multi-family apartment unit” in the town of Farragut. At an estimated cost of “over $30 million” according to its director of development, Continental 333 Fund LLC, which is owned by Continental Properties Company, Inc. of metropolitan Milwaukee, is seeking to have 19.7 acres of property along Smith Road rezoned, near the office of farragutpress. Peterson Road would be extended north at its intersection with Kingston Pike to serve as the project’s main entrance-exit point should it receive Town approval. If that happens in a timely fashion, “We would break ground in the fall of this year and the first buildings would open in the
second quarter of 2016,” John Minihan, director of development for Continental, said among a handful of his colleagues while answering a number of questions from roughly 35 concerned residents, from Baldwin Park and Waverly Court, living near the proposed complex. This gathering took place in Town Hall Community Room Wednesday evening, Jan. 7. Questions included, “How does this proposed plan support the town of Farragut’s long-term Land Use Plan as shown on their website?” “When we looked at Knoxville, we looked at markets where there was a need for multi-family [housing],” Minihan said. “And the Comp Plan supported multifamily. And if you look at the long-term Comp Plan in the town of Farragut, this site has medium density residential on it.” See PLAN on Page 2A
This illustration shows the site of where Continental Properties Company, Inc. plans to construct 236 apartments between Farragut Church of Christ and Waverly Court along Smith Road. The tree-lined property only would be accessed via an extension of Peterson Road north between Click Funeral Home and farragutpress — the site of the annual Red, White& Blues event.
Adm. Farragut collector donates to FHS ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A New Year’s Eve delivery of rare memorabilia, donated by a top collector of Adm. James David Glasgow Farragut memorabilia nationwide, had Farragut High School principal Stephanie Thompson and assistant principal Kim Gray quite excited. Adding to the excitement for Thompson and Gray in the early afternoon of Wednesday, Dec. 31,
was the unknown: what was coming? “Oh my, it’s like Christmas,” Thompson said among shouts of joy from the administrators when Paul DeHaan of Kalamazoo, Mich., announced that a 7-by-10foot “vinyl banner” reproduced painting of Adm. Farragut aboard the U.S.S. Hartford, “blown up” from the actual 16by-20 inch painting, “Is coming here.” “Oh, I’m so excited,” Gray said,
adding the vinyl banner likely would be placed on a second story wall in the Commons above the main office entrance. DeHaan and wife, Pat DeHaan — saying they’ve specialized in collecting Adm. Farragut memorabilia “since 1993” — proceeded to unveil “16 to 18” rare Adm. Farragut memorabilia they donated to FHS. Saying it’s the couple’s biggest donation ever to a school — owning close to 300 Adm.
Farragut items at one time — Paul DeHaan placed the donated items’ total value at “a little over $2,000.” Memorabilia also includes actual photographs of the Admiral, two life-size cutouts of actual photos in uniform, a 1936 3-cent stamp honoring the Admiral, his actual signature on a document, various 19th century advertising using his image plus a handful of paintings. It all will find a home in the
Commons, inside a roughly 10by-20-foot glass encased area of shelving behind the administrators and teachers lunch tables, Thompson said. “I’m telling you, I cannot believe this,” Gray said. “… How blessed are we that Paul has been kind enough and generous enough to give us these wonderful artifacts. There’s no others like them. It’s going to build a See FHS on Page 4A

Plan From page 1A
Minihan said the property in question — which is owned by Doug Horne, owner of Republic Newspapers, Inc., parent company of farragutpress — would have to be rezoned from R-2 single-family density to R-6 multifamily for Continental to purchase the property. The deal would not close “until all the approvals and permits are in place,” Minihan added. That zoning change would need approval from Board of Mayor and Aldermen, which would follow a recommendation from Farragut Municipal Planning Commission. However, “We are under contract with the owner to buy the property … with a number of contingencies,” Minihan said. Apartment sizes and costs would range from three-bedroom (approximately $1,400 per month including a one-car garage) to studio ($900) according to Minihan. Range of square footage would be 1,400 to 625. Amenities would include “a clubhouse of about 3,500 square feet … a pool, a fitness center, WiFi access, a pet park,” Ashley

the two West Knox County private high schools,” she added. “Knoxville Catholic ran away with the competition as compared with 3 Minute Magic rivals CAK, Farragut, Hardin Valley Academy and Bearden. “The Irish have taken their game to a new level under head coach Steve Matthews the past two seasons. A state semifinal appearance in 2013 was followed up with a 10-win season last fall.” Moments prior to the ceremony, Matthews said about the honor, “3 Minute Magic Carwash has been very good to us. The
Lazich, Continental construction project manager, said earlier in the evening. “This is really good fit for your Town. … This is 12 units per acre. This is less dense than the Lanesborough project. … It has 50 percent open space. A lot of greenery,” Minihan said. “… No common corridors, direct access into the unit, attached garages.” Another attraction, Minihan said, is walking distance proximity “to pick up their groceries; they can go to CVS.” Kimberly Grimm, Continental vice president of development, said the complex would combine “attached and detached [onecar] garages [an extra charge]” comprising “50 percent” of all units. “We do have outdoor surface parking.” “All of these units are going to have granite,” Minihan said. “They’re all going to have washers and dryers. … 9-foot ceilings.” Profiling the typical renter of these apartments, Minihan said, “We have a good mix of residents in our communities. What we think is very attractive about Farragut are empty nesters. Over the 10,000 units we’ve built across the country [15 states] in
support they give the high school teams in the area means a lot to not only to myself, but I think all the other area coaches.” Zac Jancek, senior starting quarterback, said, “It feels pretty good knowing you beat a couple of bigger schools like Bearden and Farragut and Hardin Valley. It’s just all the seniors and the coaching staff, all the hard work that we put in to earn that award for two years in a row.” “Since coach Matthews came in we got a lot better,” Blake Mayo, senior starting right tackle, said. About the regular season, Mayo added, “We’re playing good competition still.”

Despite their differences concerning a proposed apartment complex in Farragut, John Minihan, left, director of Development for Continental Properties Company, Inc., shakes hands with Jon Holztrager of Baldwin Park. Holztrager was one of roughly 35 Baldwin Park and Waverly Court residents on hand to give feedback during a community meeting in Town Hall about Continental’s proposed apartment complex Wednesday evening, Jan. 6.
the last 12 years, there are a lot of empty nesters. And we attract young professionals. And so that’s typically what our residents look like. … People want to downsize.” Moreover, “We do criminal background checks,” Minihan added. “We have a very stringent screening process. We do all of
our own internal property management.” However, one resident spoke up and said, “I’m going to bet 90 to 95 percent of these will have children. … That would add an additional 400 to 500 kids coming into the Farragut district. … They will do anything to put their kids in school here.”

Obama at Pell State
U.S. President Barack Obama speaks to a standing-room only crowd packed into the Clayton Performing Arts Center Friday, Jan. 9. The President unveiled plans patterned after Gov. Bill Haslam’s “Tennessee Promise” to propose investing $60 billion over the next 10 years years to make tuition free for nearly 9 million community-college students nationwide. The program dubbed “America’s College Promise” would be one of Obama’s “most important” policy proposals and urged the Republican-controlled Congress to support the plan. U.S. Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker and U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr. all oppose the plan.

Farragut items to FHS, to Gray through Ebay during the 2013-14 school year, he also has sold and donated items to Farragut Folklife Museum dating back to the mid-
1990s. “We have donated and sold probably 25 to 30 items to the museum,” Paul DeHaan said. “I knew he had been born in this area, and we were on the Interstate and saw the Farragut sign and got off at the next exit [Watt Road] and backtracked,” Paul DeHaan added about the couple’s first visit to town of Farragut “ in the mid-1990s.” Pat DeHaan recalled “chatting with Linda Ford,” wife of then Mayor Eddy Ford.

• I was just wondering if anyone else found it ironic that Farragut has such a real strict sign law but yet there are so many junky looking signs. The first thing or sign you see when you get off the Interstate is [a bunch of unattractive temporary signs]. It’s that way all through Town. It’s especially bad along Kingston Pike [toward Dixie Lee Junction in Farragut] where the businesses can’t put up signs so they have to put up these awful looking wooden signs that are supposed to be temporary yet stay up month after month after month. Editor’s Note: The recent increase in signage along the major routes in Farragut is due to businesses participating in the Shop Farragut holiday promotion sponsored by town of Farragut and Farragut
Business Alliance. All the signs are required to have the Shop Farragut logo. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

He came and met with us.” Taco Boy is Calderon’s first business endeavor, although he has been working in the restaurant industry for about 13 years.

Buzzer-beater, Duncan negate Ads’ upset bid ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Option No. 2 in Bearden’s desperate attempt to tie Farragut and force overtime, a quick jumper from junior center Jason Smith, worked out well. Though mostly held in check offensively by Farragut’s defense, Smith’s 10-foot bank shot at the regulation buzzer — off an inbounds pass from Austin Duncan with just 1.4 seconds to play — brought the Bulldogs back from a 41-36 deficit with 1:36 remaining, forcing overtime at 46-46. Bearden claimed a dramatic 54-51 come-from-behind overtime win in a loud and packed BHS gym Friday night, Jan. 9. “I came down the lane and, I don’t know, got it and shot it like I always have in my backyard and it just fell,”said Smith, who was held to six points by Farragut’s triangle-and-two defense (man-to-man on Smith and junior point guard Quez Fair, with other defenders playing a triangle zone). “I couldn’t really see the basket either, I had a hand in my face. I just kind of pitched it up there and prayed. “When we went into overtime I just knew that we had the momentum behind us and we had them,” added Smith, who managed to stay in the game despite picking up his fourth foul with 3:02 left in the third quarter. Smith’s tying, buzzer-beating basket “changed the momentum,” BHS head coach Mark Blevins said. “We were much, much better in the last four minutes than
we had been at any other point in the game.” From there it was two baskets from senior wing Duncan, the game’s star, with a 15-foot jumper and tip-in, that pushed District 4-AAA-leading Bearden to a fourpoint OT lead, 50-46. Duncan’s game-high 23 points “was the best game of his career. He hasn’t hit double digits too many times this Bulldogs 54 year. He was realAdmirals 51 ly phenomenal,” Blevins, whose team improved to 19-1 overall and 6-1 in district, said. Farragut fell to 10-8, 3-4. “He had seven boards, that’s his high for the year, and four assists and no turnovers,” Blevins added about Duncan. Duncan said, “I’m just enjoying every last game as a senior. I guess my shots were just falling because I’ve been taking those shots in every game.” Tipping his hat to the Admirals, “Farragut deserves a lot of credit, especially the posts,” Blevins said. “The post guys were phenomenal for them tonight. They really beat us bad in the post.” Tied 16-16 at halftime and 28-28 after three quarters, the Admirals were able to maintain a one- to five-point lead for most of the last quarter. Luke Janney’s lay-up with 1:36 remaining gave Farragut its biggest lead of the game, 41-36. Duncan responded with a three-point basket from the corner with 1:20 left, cutting the Ads’ lead to 41-39. “That was a See FHS-BULLDOGS on Page 7A

It was a night of mixed results for the Hardin Valley Academy basketball teams Friday at West High School. The Lady Hawks snapped a two-game losing streak as Lady Hawks 59 they routed the Lady Rebels 22 Lady Rebels 59-22 Jan. 9. Meanwhile big spurts by the Rebels spelled defeat for the Hawks in a 79-64 loss. The Lady Hawks (12-7 overall, 2-5 in District 4-AAA starting the week) overcame a slow start Friday night and fell behind 2-1 early before closing the first quarter with a 11-5 run. From there, HVA went on to take control of the game as it used a stifling defense to smother the hapless Lady Rebels (1-12, 0-7). While Hardin Valley’s defense was intense, the Lady Hawks’ offense sputtered over the first 16 minutes of the contest. “I think our defense was consistent throughout the game but [offensively] we struggled to find our rhythm in the first half,” Lady Hawks head coach Jennifer Galloway said. Despite its early offensive trials and tribulations, Hardin Valley got a big offensive jolt from sophomore center Symphony Buxton. She came off the bench and scored 11 of her 15 points in the first half. Buxton gave the Lady Hawks a 20-9 lead when she made a layup midway through the second
quarter. HVA was able to open a 22-15 halftime lead thanks to a strong effort at the free throw line. The Lady Hawks made six of their seven foul shots but the Lady Rebels hung around and closed the second stanza with a modest 6-2 run. The Lady Hawks, however, blew things open early in the third quarter. Hardin Valley opened the period with a huge offensive surge. Hardin Valley’s offense clicked after halftime and that coupled with the Lady Hawks’ defense all but salted the game away. Hardin Valley surrendered just one point in the third quarter and when Rebels 79 the dust Hawks 64 had settled, the Lady Hawks held a 4016 advantage going into the fourth quarter. “I’m so proud of our team,” Buxton said. “We proved that we could play for four quarters. “It felt good to get this win because we work so hard.” Buxton, who grabbed six rebounds in the game, carried the bulk of the offensive load in the first half. But she got plenty of help after halftime from freshman Abbey Cornelius, who scored 10 of her game-high 16 points after the break. “Abbey is starting to grow up right before our eyes,” Galloway said. “She may be a freshman but she’s learning to play like a veteran.” While the Lady Hawks returned

A scoring drought of more than 11 minutes in the second half sank the Farragut Lady Admirals, turning a 23-18 Bearden lead into a 41-18 blowout at BHS Friday night, Jan. 9. The final score was 48-26. “It was the most complete defensive Lady Bulldogs 48 game we put Lady Admirals 26 together all year,” Justin Underwood, Bearden head coach, said. “I thought they did a fantastic job of just all five [players] being on the same page communicating, knowing their rotations and then executing that. I’m very proud of them.” Specifically, “We mixed up some defenses, we tried some different sets and really tried to key to their shooters and also account for Jaiden [McCoy],” Underwood said about Farragut’s junior post who was held to eight points. “Made sure that we kept contact on her and help on her.” Jason Mayfield, Farragut skipper, said his team “didn’t respond well to the physical part of the game. And they were letting us play pretty well. Bearden does a good job of kind of sliding their feet and playing defense and keeping their hands up. “We were just trying to go through people instead of moving the ball around and being more patient on offense,” he added. “Making shots for us, for some reason, is a big deal.” The Lady Admirals fell to 13-5 overall, 6-1 in District 4-AAA entering the week. Bearden

improved to 18-3 overall while taking sole possession of first place in district at 7-0 starting the week. Offensively, Underwood said, “I was pleased with how balanced we were. … This group does an excellent job of sharing the basketball. … It makes it tougher for other teams to key on us. Just a very unselfish group.” Individually, Underwood praised junior point guard Holly Hagood, who scored a game-high 13, for her hustle — especially after the game was decided.
“That’s what she does every day. She does it in practice, she does it in games,” he said. “She’s just our heartbeat. And our girls respond off of that.” Hagood said her team was fired up to avenge several close losses to Farragut last season. “I think we were all really pumped. It’s a big rivalry game,” Hagood said. “… We had our heads in it and played some the best defense we’ve played this year.” See LADY ADS-BHS on Page 7A

Anajae Stephney, Bearden junior post who scored seven, rated her team’s performance a “nine,” on a scale of 1 to 10 (higher the better). However, Stephney said her Bulldogs “could have done a lot better. We gave up a lot of offensive rebounds. But we talked a lot better than we have these past couple of games. Just talking, moving.” In her match-up with Farragut junior post Jaiden McCoy, Stephney said, “I did decent when I kind of got into a move. I looked forward to it because I hadn’t really played anyone her size and it’s always good to have competition.” Trinity Lee, BHS freshman guard and one of Underwood’s few options in the game off the bench, scored nine. Madison Rice had seven points, Olivia Pfeifer and Chanler Geer five each and Jalia Arnwine two. Miranda Burt scored seven for Farragut and Kristen Freeman added four points. Annie McMurry scored three while Maegan Hudson and Kate McMurry each had two points. Sue Yun Kim, Lady Ads senior
to their winning ways, the Hardin Valley boys saw their losing streak grow to eight games. After playing the Rebels (11-6, 5-2) to an 18-18 tie in the first quarter, the Hawks saw things unravel in the second quarter. HVA scored just three points in the second stanza while West erupted and opened a 41-21 lead at halftime. West scored the first seven points of the second quarter before Hardin Valley’s Aaron Dykes made a shot to pull the Hawks to within 28-20 midway through the frame. After that, however, the Hawks endured a scoreless streak that lasted nearly three minutes. HVA finally scored when Caleb Clevenger made a free throw with 1 minute, 21 seconds remaining in the first half. Hawks’ head coach Keith Galloway attributed his squad’s slump to playing out of character. “This is really starting to hurt us,” he said. “The problem is that we’re trying to be something that we’re not. We tried to slow things down and we’re a speed-up team. “We’re just going to have to get it and go and what happens happens. I think we’ll find our groove around [district] tournament time and when we do, we’re going to be hard to deal with. We’ll find it eventually.”

big-time play,” Blevins said about the importance of that basket. “That one was off a special play.” The Admirals zoomed back ahead 43-39 on a Matthew Eggert lay-up, off an assist from Keegan McGuire, with 58 seconds to go. Fair, who along with Smith are Bearden’s top two scorers, nailed a three-point jumper from in front at the 44.6-second mark cutting lead back to one. He ended with 11. Another Janney lay-up, off an assist from McGuire, put the Ads back up 45-42 with 30.2 seconds remaining. Duncan came up big on the offensive boards, drawing a foul and hitting both free throws with 17.8 seconds left, making it 45-44. McGuire, FHS senior point guard, was fouled and made the first free throw but missed the second, and Bearden came downcourt and called timeout with

11.4 seconds to play. “I think the difference in that game, I told our kids in the locker room, ‘You were flawless and played with heart, we did everything we asked you to do. But free throws killed us tonight [made 12 of 22],” Ads skipper Chris Cool said. “We beat them all night long on their floor, but we gave them hope by missing free throws.” A driving 7-foot jumper rimmed off, and the ball was knocked out of bounds under the basket, Bulldogs ball, with 1.4 seconds left before Smith’s tying shot. Smith’s lay-up in OT made it 5249 with 1:27 left. Two Fair free throws at the 30.8-second mark of OT increased the BHS lead to 5449. Sam Phillips scored nine for Bearden. Adam Fulcher added four and Jake Elkins two points. “Our gameplan coming in was to limit Jason Smith and Quez because they’re 70 percent of their scoring,” Cool said. “… I don’t think we gave up many offensive rebounds in the first
half. And we played like that in the second half. ... All of our kids were really aggressive taking the ball to the basket. Did a great job, didn’t back down.” Eggert, senior post, led Farragut with 18 points. Alexander Rather, junior wing, scored 13. Ty Allen, senior post/wing, had nine. “I thought Matthew Eggert drove the ball well on Jason Smith, got him in foul trouble,” Cool said. Eggert said about holding down Smith and Fair, “I think they both had zero points at halftime. I think it really worked, but I think coach Blevins made some adjustments at halftime and got them the ball a little more. “But our defense was great the whole night, it really was.” Rather said, “We came up with a gameplan coach put in, we executed it, shut them down. I think we played better the whole game, but we’ve got to hit free throws and finish out the game.”
The Hawks (7-11, 2-5 staring the week) found some offense in the second half. They played the Rebels evenly in the third quarter before outscoring the Rebels 2115 over the final eight minutes. Tyler Durden was Hardin Valley’s most consistent offensive weapon on this night, scoring eight of his 14 points in the first quarter. Blaine Shockley had 16 points but made just one shot before halftime. “Losing hurts, but we’re having fun,” Durden said. “We win together and we lose together. “I love my teammates and I love my coach.” While Hardin Valley had more than its share of difficulties at times Friday night, the Rebels boasted a balanced attack and had four players score in double figures. Greg Yarbrough led the way with 16 points. Shandel Willis added 12. David Kraski had 11 and Tyrone Patterson finished with 10. “We have 10 guys who are about even,” West head coach Chris Kesler said. “We don’t have any superstars and we’re young. “So we need two or three guys in double figures and we need other guys to score eight or nine points. We have good nights and we have bad nights because we have such a young team,” he added.

Shown practicing her shooting accuracy, Eva Irwin of Farragut formed Aphrodite Shooters Ladies Only Gun Club in May 2013. It has grown to about 125 members ranging in ages from 10 to 81. Irwin said roughly 75 percent of Aphrodite members, upon joining, were new shooters — many of whom probably had never even held a firearm.

Except for the Jan. 15 awards luncheon, the celebration events are free and open to the public.

Women need a supportive environment in which to pursue their love of, or at least curiosity in various forms of firearms according to one Farragut gun enthusiast. Eva Irwin of Farragut said she realized this roughly two years ago and formed Aphrodite Shooters Ladies Only Gun Irwin Club in May 2013. It has grown to “about 125,” ranging in ages from 10 to 81, Irwin said. Of those 125, “I’d say probably 75 percent of my shooters were new shooters, probably never held a firearm” when joining, Irwin added. Though “shooting tins cans off a fence post” as a teenager “without knowing the mechanics of a gun,” Irwin said she started getting interested in guns “probably three, four years ago” because of her travel “as a program manager out at Y-12” in Oak Ridge. “I decided I’d get a gun just for personal protection.” Learning more about guns to where she started shooting recreationally and competitively “a couple of years ago” while realizing “I was a pretty good shot,” Irwin added she was “looking for a place where the women were shooting.” However, “Whenever I went to any of the ranges around [the Farragut area] it was predominantly male oriented,”
she added. “So I decided I would start a ladies shooting club, first of all just for the opportunity just to meet other ladies and to introduce other ladies to the sport of shooting. … We try to give them a safe place, a comfortable place and as least intimidating as we can make it. “We want them to ask questions and not feel foolish if they ask a question.” Jennifer Bates, a Farragut resident and avid shooter who said she “helped Eva start” the club, added her main focus is “personal protection, and somewhat in competition.” Bates also said she assists with instruction on “basic handgun safety.” Each Thursday evening, club members meet at Tactical Advantage Corp, 10737 Dutchtown Road — paying $12 at each meeting after a $25 fee for new members’ orientation (no other dues or fees). New members, regardless of firearm skill level, go through a “basic handgun orientation,” Irwin said. “We do that once or twice a month. … It’s an awareness training that teaches them the range safety rules, basic handgun safety rules, and introduces them to guns if they have never shot before. We have various instructors that are [National Rifle Association] certified and range officers. And we have a shooting simulator that we use, and live fire on the range. “Then we do what’s called ‘Skills and Drills’ on Thursday nights and gear it toward whatever the skill level is,” Irwin added about how all members See GUN CLUB on Page 3B

A retired journalism professor at The University of Tennessee, Dr. Mike Singletary should be a good judge of educational talent. Singletary, a town of Farragut Schools Education Relations Committee member, reported his experience as “Principal For a Day” at Farragut Intermediate School last fall during SERC’s Tuesday, Jan. 6, meeting in Town Hall. “I felt like I had a notion of how they run, having been in academics my whole career. But not in the grade school area,” Singletary said. “… I was impressed with the school. Farragut Intermediate is clean, neat, orderly.” Instruction-wise, “Teachers went to great lengths to personalize the classes to be familiar with the children and to lead them carefully,” Singletary said. “I found the teachers to be engaged. The children seemed to be engaged. Whenever the teacher would ask a question” children would eagerly respond “‘I know, I know.’ “… We saw lots of different classes. All of them heavily laden with technology,” Singletary added. Handling discipline has changed over the years. “I found there were policies in place to deal with special circumstances. For instance, if a child got unruly, had a big tantrum, something like that, and if the teacher couldn’t handle it, they have a teacher behavioral team,” Singletary said. “… They run down the hall, jump in and take care of the problem.” For the disadvantaged, “They See SINGLETARY on Page 6B

That includes “three-gun: shotgun, pistol, rifle competitions. … There’s a competition every Saturday.” Aphrodite supplies each member with a gun if that member doesn’t own one, Irwin said. “We’d prefer they come to a couple of classes and try out different firearms before they purchase one, that way they know exactly what they want.” For more information, call Irwin at 865-740-6901, go to www.aphroditeshooters.com or email her at aphroditeshooters@gmail.com/

Carroll’s professional golf leads to 8 Latino American Tour nations ■
Girls on the run
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Chase Carroll was willing to leave the United States for months and travel thousands of miles to perfect his craft in 2014. It was a determined effort by this 2005 Bearden High School graduate to earn his way onto Professional Golf Association’s web.com Tour. Carroll, a professional golfer since 2009, joined PGA Latino America Tour this season and played in 10 tournaments that took him to Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Argentina, Peru, Columbia, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic. In combined play on Latino America and NGA tours this season, “I’ve had one runner-up [finish], I think two top-10s, a couple of top-fives and three or four top 20s,” said Carroll, a two-time South Atlantic Conference individual champion at Tusculum College in Mosheim (Class of 2009) where he recently was inducted into its Athletic Hall of Fame. However, Carroll added, “Nowadays it’s extremely tough to try and make a living” as a pro golfer below the web.com Tour. While this BHS alumnus made the cut in 12 of his first 15 tournaments in 2014, Carroll said his gross golf earnings “were in the ballpark of $18,000 to $20,000” in 2014. Sponsorships from Knox are and East Tennessee businesses helped Carroll stay afloat, he said. Coming close to qualifying for web.com Tour through its QSchool last year, Carroll said he was forced into international travel in 2014 because three United States professional tours

right below web.com, NGA, EGolf and Hopkins tours, have lost value. “None of those tours provide a pathway to the web.com,” he said. “A perfect example is in 2012, I finished 15th on the money list on the NGA Tour; unfortunately it didn’t do anything for me” toward earning web.com Tour status. Though saying the Latino American Tour “was pretty
expensive,” Carroll added, “it’s certainly interesting … “and extremely well done. … You start to get used to the different culture, the food, the Spanish.” Carroll said there were few noticeable shows of security, or security concerns. Moreover, “The event in Guatemala was very neat,” Carroll said. “The golf course is CARROLL on Page 5B

literally played alongside a volcano, and it was an active volcano. Legitimately every 10 or 15 minutes the volcano would erupt, and it sounded like thunder. … And even on the golf course … ash from the volcano.” However, mainly because of his limited net earnings, “I won’t go back down to Latin America next year,” Carroll said. In early September, Carroll, 28, failed to get past the first stage of European Q-School in Vienna, Austria, attempting to qualify for European Tour. Carroll then failed to earn his 2015 web.com Tour card at its Q-
School starting in late October, not advancing past first stage in Pinehurst, N. C. “Toward the end of the year, things didn’t go results-wise that great for me,” Carroll said. Among his problems, “The airlines lost my golf clubs for five days,” he added. “I actually had to borrow clubs for the first two rounds [in Vienna].” While Carroll said his 2015 golf plans are uncertain, one good result happened Dec. 23: Carroll became engaged to Whitney Hensen, a 2005 Farragut High School graduate and former Lady Admirals star soccer player. As for nuptials, “Maybe sometime in September, October, November,” Carroll said.

Two ways to stop being a loser! The definition for “loser” depends on the circumstance in which a loser finds him or herself. One definition has to do with losing at a sport, gambling or some kind of game or competition. I’m the first one to say it sucks to lose, but if we’ve been raised by loving people who taught us how to be good losers, we spare ourselves being the “bad sport.” So you lost at Monopoly and landed on Park Place laden with hotels, or you didn’t win the Miss America contest; boo hoo, big deal. It’s not like you fell off or climbed down from some social ladder, but you’re still considered a loser. Anyway, that’s not the kind of loser this Pam column is Young about. Make it S H E s Lose Fun! I know for sure we SHEs (Sidetracked Home Executives) are losers, because we spend a lot of our valuable time looking for stuff. As SHEs, we’ve had a lot of experience calling the Lost & Found department in various establishments like hotels, restaurants, theatres, airports etc. and like the guy who doesn’t take car maintenance seriously and becomes known by the local towing company in town, SHEs usually get to know the Lost & Found people in familiar institutions like the building at work, the kids’ school, your

had plans and contingencies to help with kids who came in hungry or without proper apparel,” Singletary said. “I was so glad to hear that.” Singletary labeled FIS principal Reggie Mosley “a very fine and engaging fellow; pleasant, helpful, optimistic. “We greeted the children as they came in in the morning. And just right off the bat it was such a treat to see these little guys,” Singletary added. “They come in smiling and waving,” saying, “’Hello Mr. Mosley,’ and he’s say, ‘Hello Sally.’”
school, your gym etc. I want to share two ways to curb the search for your stuff. Curb the search by establishing a home for the stuff you most frequently lose. Just think how much time you spend each year looking for your stuff! (It’s probably at least a couple of days.) It seems easier at the time to just put those items down somewhere, or out of sight in a drawer, because there aren’t dedicated places to put them. When you establish homes for each individual item, you’re on your way to curbing those mad searches, usually when you’re in a hurry. If we minded the rule “A place for everything and everything in its place,” we’d never have to search for our glasses, car keys, purse, coat, cell phone, shoes, scissors, or tweezers again. To break the cycle of losing things and finding homes for stuff you want to keep, I suggest you use your imagination. 1. Use Drama and be a Romantic If you’re a romantic, you could pretend to be Cupid. For example, take an item that you tend to spend a lot of time looking for, your car key for instance. Pretend you’re a matchmaker and you’re going to hook up Miss Car Key with Mr. Wooden Peg and Mr. Right Pocket (that place in your purse where you are going to put Miss Key whenever you’re out with your car). As a matchmaker, you can relish seeing them together and be so happy for the new couple, that every time you see them together you feel like Cupid. Awwwww. 2. Be the Care-Giver Or, here’s another idea. If you
think of Miss Key as a real person who’s directionally challenged, or a child who needs your compassion and help to make sure she gets home each time she’s in your care, you’ll have more fun establishing this habit. Think of it as a “keys-are-people-too” concept. Say to your car key, “Okay Miss Key, I’m going to find two homes for you this very minute. At home, it’s going to be a convenient spot so when I head for the car you’ll be right there in my face. When I get out of the car after I’ve driven somewhere, I’m going to choose a home for you in my purse where you’ll always go.” Once you’ve established homes for the common things you tend to lose, the stories you’ve attached to them will help you practice using the new homes until they are second nature for you. Once you’ve considered yourself as a caregiver for your often lost items, leaving any of them in the wrong place would be like a mom leaving her toddler at the mall. It may take about 21 days before you’ll stop leaving things where they don’t belong, but if you keep remembering you’re Cupid or the Care-Giving, you’ll gradually establish the habit of putting things back where they belong. Thank you for reading my essay! I hope you share this with the losers in your life!

Knoxville Opera to perform at Farragut Middle School, Hardin Valley Academy
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut Middle School and Hardin Valley Academy students have the opportunity to see free performances of the opera, “Carmen.” They are two of 19 Knox County Schools that are part of Knoxville Opera’s fourth school tour. Knoxville Opera will present the opera beginning at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 13, in Farragut Middle School, and have a performance beginning at 2:05 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 14, at Hardin Valley Academy. “We’re fortunate in Knox County to have the opera company,” Janna Waldrupe, FMS choral music teacher, said. “They are interested in helping students who don’t know about opera to develop an appreciation for this part of our culture.”
“I think it’s a great opportunity for the students because a lot of them won’t ever go to an opera themselves, and this will, at least, expose them to it,” Teresa Scoggins, Hardin Valley Academy choral director, said. She added the performance would also provide students with a different perspective than what they probably have. “And, ‘Carmen’ is a good first opera to see,” Scoggins said, adding students will probably recognize some of the music, as they may have heard it in commercials or even cartoons. “For many students, this is their only introduction to opera,” Waldrupe said, adding some of those students want to go to a performance again. “We’re fortunate to have had [Knoxville Opera Company] here for several years,” she said. Waldrupe said the opera compa-
ny is taking scenery from current shows, and it will perform the shows for students in English. Scoggins said she thinks this is the first time the opera company has brought props for these performances. Besides seeing a show, the students, opera company cast and crew answer students’ questions and show students the job opportunities available, Waldrupe said. “They get a chance to see opera is not just singing,” she added. Bizet’s “Carmen” showcases the music of Spain, including famous melodies and a cast full of charisma, Michael J. Torano, director of marketing and public relations for Knoxville Opera, said. “Knoxville Opera board members are excited to continue the school tours, due to the previous three years of positive responses from students, teachers and school administrators,” Torano
