SERC members discuss ‘adoptaclassroom’ ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Looking for avenues to encourage local businesses to contribute to Farragut schools, Farragut’s Schools Education Relations Committee introduced a newly discovered website link. Meanwhile, one member commented that $25,000 would be an appropriate amount for town of Farragut to spend on recognizing teacher accomplishments, pinpointing the five public K-12 schools Board of Mayor and Aldermen support with yearly funding ($22,000 per school). Committee member Mike

Singletary presented non-profit organization Adopt-A-Classroom and its website www.adoptaclassroom.org during SERC’s meeting Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 7, in Town Hall. “What I think is that we might need to let the schools and the PTAs of the schools know about this program … call this to the attention of our principals … and they should call it to the attention of the PTOs and PTAs … ,” Singletary said. “And then I would encourage the PTAs to start writing letters … send letters to businesses inviting them to adopt a classroom. .... They can contribute to a classroom or

a specific school.” Committee member Kristen Pennycuff-Trent added, “We do need to ask that the teachers create a classroom profile for the businesses to be able to view.” Two Farragut High School teachers were shown to have expressed their needs through www.adoptaclassroom.org/ Lori Parks, who teaches desktop publishing, interactive multimedia presentation and advanced computer applicants, was quoted as saying her classes need updated technology and software. “… It is very difficult See SERC on Page 5A

Thirteen Farragut area residents have decided to take part in this year’s “Introduction to Farragut” program. “You are going to learn a lot you didn’t know about Farragut,” Mayor Ralph McGill told the 2014 participants during a kickoff at the Town Hall. Holly Janney, Montre’ Deshaun Hudson, Marie Meszaros, Terri Lenoci, Macy Britt, Edwin G. Anderson IV, Wayne Stormer, Richard and

Dorothy Ettensohn, Tony Carasso, Robert Keener, Clark Brekke and Terry Nelson will spend the next six weeks learning about the Town’s history, government structure and operations, public safety, education and volunteer opportunities. “I’ve been in Farragut for seven years now, and I want to be more than just a resident,” Anderson said. “I want to learn how the Town works and ways I can possibly help out and be part of the community.” He said he hopes to gain a better understanding of how a town such as

Farragut works. Meszaros said she is interested in learning more about the Town’s history and how she can get more involved in the community’s activities. “Our daughter graduated from Farragut [High School] five years ago, and I used to do a lot of things, working with the ceramics club, the art club and can drive for the Bearden and Farragut games,” she said. “I just don’t do anything with schools anymore, and I thought this was See INTRO on Page 4A

Town enters lease agreement with Russell property tenants ■

Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen agreed to enter into a commercial lease agreement with Harriet Williams, owner of Dog Days Canine Playschool. Aldermen Ron Honken made the motion to approve the lease agreement and Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche seconded his motion.

The business is housed in the former dairy barn on the back of the Russell House property at 101 N. Campbell Station Road, at the Kingston Pike intersection. Town administrator David Smoak said the lease is the same situation as the Town Hall building. “The [Knox County Sheriff’s Office] and County Clerk and Trustee’s offices are upstairs, so,

Frigid weather and icy conditions early in the week of Monday, Jan. 6, had an effect on some local businesses in the area but not all. Brenda Reid, Publix spokesperson, said customers at the Publix Super Market, 11656 Parkside Drive, in Farragut were buying items early that week as a result of the cold weather. “It was more things like firewood, logs, hot chocolate,” Reid said. “In the meat department, it was ground meats and roasts. In the bakery, it was mostly breads, and in the produce, it was mostly potatoes and bananas.” Traditionally, there are some items that see an uptick in sales when inclement weather hits. “Usually we get an increase in sales for things like bread, water, milk, eggs,” she said. “... These are your staples. People don’t want to run out of their staples.” Glynn Jenkins, director of communications and public relations with Kroger, Atlanta Division, commented on the effect at the Kroger

SJNCS expands

St. John Neumann Catholic School is adding two new classrooms and other additions. The Rev. Msgr. G.

An expansion at St. John Neumann Catholic School adds two new classrooms. Janet Harrigan, director of admissions and development with SJN Catholic School, said the expansion includes further additions also. “It includes some storage space,” Harrigan said. “It includes an office. It also includes men’s and women’s restrooms that open to the exterior of the building only. Those

restrooms are put in place to support our outdoor facilities here.” The new classrooms are due to the school now enrolling 3 and 4 year olds, she said. These preschool-aged children began at the school in August 2013. “Our school has grown this year,” she said. “This year is the first year we’ve included preschool-age children. We have 3and 4-year-olds this year, and in order to accommodate the additional age groups of students, we See SJN on Page 5A

lettertotheeditor Reader questions story Your reporter is completely off base in the farragutpress issue of Jan. 16. The issue before the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission is about an amendment to the Farragut Zoning Ordinance to allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) within Rural Single Family Residentially Zoned neighborhoods. It has nothing to do with rental proper-

ty. An ADU is defined as “ A small, secondary dwelling unit on the same lot as the principal dwelling unit”. A minimum lot size of 30,000 square feet in one scenario or 43,560 in another would be required for a property owner to build an ADU adjacent to his principal dwelling. The ADU would be built, with appropriate requirements, to house

presstalk

elderly or other family members up to maximum of two individuals. The maximum size of the ADU would be 800 square feet with no more than two bedrooms. Further, negative resident comments are not creating tensions between members of the Planning Commission and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The Town governing bodies do

reasonable, mature adult. This was about picking on an innocent kid with a medical condition, not about parents failing to control their children when they are clearly misbehaving in a situation where good behavior and self-control is warranted. I am a parent with two children, and you better believe we have left stores, church and restaurants when they got out of line. • To the person who wrote in last week: You are not the only one with a brain and common sense in this town (there are at least two more!). We were eating in a local restaurant a couple months back when a child not far from our table started screaming, loudly. It continued for a good 5 minutes solid. The waitress could tell we were upset, she called the manager, he came to apologize to us. He said he was sorry, but he couldn’t very well ask them to leave either. It’s sad that he would have had to worry about the repercussions if he asked them to leave. We cannot do anything anymore. You can’t quiet a child without it being considered abuse. You can’t ask for separate seating for kids because that’s discrimination. You can’t discuss your religious beliefs anymore because you might offend someone. If you say or do anything that might offend one or two people, you can bet there will be threats, lawsuits, termination, banishment, or any or all of the above. No longer are parents required to teach their kids right from wrong, and the law does nothing either. I’m TIRED too. But that’s society I guess … deserted island anyone? • Interesting remarks by the caller last week concerning noisy people in restaurants. My

experience was with a table of four seemingly intoxicated patrons in a Turkey Creek restaurant. After waiting for nearly an hour for a table, we had the misfortune to be seated by a table of four who wanted, in loud voices, to talk about their lewd activities and plans they had for the night. The table got looks from around the dining room, yet there was never a manager to quiet them down or to cut off their supply of alcohol. • I am a resident of Farragut, living in the Kings Gate subdivision for 20 years. Recently, for the fourth time, I have been a target of someone setting fires in my front yard. I have lost 2 holly shrubs, a holly tree, a rolling trash container from Waste Management, and pampas grass which was planted to replace the burned shrubs. I have a beautiful magnolia tree with fire damage. Fortunately it was damp when the fire was set under the magnolia and it did not catch. I do not know why I am being targeted or if I am the only one who is having this problem. I do not see any of my close neighbors with damage. The first incident was one of several according to the sheriff’s deputy who came to the door at 1:30 am followed by a truck from Rural Metro. This was about three years ago. Since then, there have been 3 more incidents, twice in the past six months. I do not know who is doing [this] or why. If anyone knows anything, please help stop this, either by turning the culprit in to the sheriff’s office or convincing them to stop this behavior. I have always felt Farragut to be a relatively safe community and this is very frightening to feel that someone

Hudson, a Farragut High graduate and former football player, said he signed up for the program to get more information about Farragut and how he can be more involved. Town administrator David Smoak said he hopes the program will get the participants motivated to become ambassadors of the Town. Each participant will be expected to attend four of five classes, attend a Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, a Farragut Municipal Planning Commission meeting and take part in a Food for Kids charity program.

Thank you for making such a wonderful contribution to our community. • I am calling to complain about the outrageous digital billboard that has been put up outside the Turkey Creek commercial development alongside the [I-40/75] Interstate. I was driving by at night recently and the glare from that digital billboard is absolutely blinding. It is an incredible traffic distraction and a safety hazard. I can’t believe that public authorities approved it. It should be taken down immediately.

• I just read the snarky post regarding the little girl with the squeaky shoes in the news this week, and I had to respond. Perhaps the poster didn’t hear the whole story — the shoes were specially designed to help the little girl walk properly as she suffers a medical condition that prevented her from stepping properly, and the shoes were designed to make the noise when she was walking correctly and encourage her to keep doing so. The [restaurant] employee, new or not, should have called the manager over to investigate, not humiliate the parents for something trivial. And yeah, picking on a small child and her family over a pair of shoes is a little much. Have a seat. To the poster, you say “we” shouldn’t have to tolerate such behavior, but I must ask ... What if it had been someone in a squeaky wheelchair, or on noisy crutches, or a little hard of hearing that they speak a little louder without realizing it? Would you be saying the same thing if they were asked to leave someplace? And don’t tell me well, it’s obvious they are on noisy crutches, in a squeaky wheelchair, they can’t help it — that’s a load of bull. The little girl couldn’t help it either. Did [the restaurant] give the mother a chance to explain about the noise? Probably not. Not that it would have made a difference because the way I see it, anyone who would complain about a child’s shoes in a restaurant that was probably already a little noisy already, needs to get over themselves. … Also? Poster, you are right. You’re not the only ones with brains in this town. The difference is, you seem to have forgotten how to use yours to be a

Russell home, there also is a former dairy barn on the property that has been leased to numerous tenants over the years and at one time was the location of the town of Farragut Town Hall,” he said. Williams has been at the site for 10 years and had an agreement with the Russell family. “Since we have bought the property, it requires us to get a new lease agreement,” Smoak said. That new agreement provides for a month-to-month arrangement with 90-days’ notice of either party to terminate the lease, he said.

Department, talked about how the fire department responded to the weather. “From a fire department perspective, we did put on extra manpower for the inclement weather period and staffed additional vehicles ... that were better equipped to manage the icy conditions to prevent service interruptions and to continue to provide timely emergency response for those people that called to request it,” Cumesty said.

Cops From page 2A an unknown suspect had entered the residence by kicking in one of the back doors on the upper deck. After entering the residence the unknown suspect went throughout the house opening drawers and looking through things in each of the bedrooms. The victim advised the only thing he found to be missing at this time was a 52inch flat screen television from the living room. The victim also advised his neighbor had noticed a newer model clean white pickup truck with someone sitting the in the passenger seat parked in the driveway around 2:30 p.m. • Jan. 12: Police were advised by a Concord Road woman an unknown suspect had broken out two windows at an unoccupied residence off Concord Road. Complainant stated the last time she saw the windows intact on the house was sometime in late December 2013. • Jan. 12: A Rolling Creek Road man reported to police an unknown suspect had made several holes in the side of his travel trailer cover. No damage was reported to the trailer and the complainant stated he had no idea when it was done. • Jan. 11: Police were advised by a North Fox Den Drive woman jewelry valued at about $11,000 was missing from a jewelry box located in her bedroom. The victim reported there was no evidence of a break in. • Jan. 10: A West Kingsgate Road woman reported to police unknown suspects had burned down the shrubs on her property. Complainant advised incidents such as this have occurred twice before. • Jan. 8: A representative of Wild

The agreement is similar to her previous agreement with the former owners, he added. “The execution of the agreement will allow the tenant to continue her business on the property while the Town undergoes the task of hiring an architect and working on future decision about renovating and any site changes to the property,” Smoak said. “I think the feeling was we were about to embark on some architectural review of the building,” he added. “This is a month-to-month lease, so if at any time we were to change that agreement in the future, we could certainly go forward and do that.” He said the agreement also gives Williams similar flexibility if she found another place for her business and wanted to move.

said Regal Cinemas Pinnacle Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX did not have to close either for the winter weather conditions. “With school being out and many people still on holiday vacations, we were happy to welcome all moviegoers,” White said. “... Anytime school is out, whether it be for a holiday or otherwise, we typically do see a trend where more moviegoers [are] electing to spend their time off at Regal Cinemas.” She said the cold weather and icy conditions had no effect on Regal Cinemas Pinnacle Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX.

needed to make an expansion on the building.” The kindergarteners will go to the two new classrooms, while the 3 and 4 year olds will stay in the kindergarteners’ previous classrooms, she said. “As soon as we get our certificate for occupancy, we will have, our kindergarten class will move down there immediately,” she said. “They’ll finish this school year in that new expansion.” The new restrooms are for the

to teach students about technology and software when the resources you have are outdated or you lack the amount of software needed.” Wendie Love, art teacher, was quoted as saying her ceramics students need a kiln shed that would allow them to “fire the kiln more frequently.” Committee voted unanimously to “notify our schools of the tool,” SERC chair Mark Littleton said. Other business included suggestions from Alderman Ron Honken for the Town to further

convenience of people attending outdoor events, she said. Without those restrooms, people have to walk inside the school to use the restroom. “[The new restrooms] will only be unlocked if there is an outdoor event taking place here on our campus,” she said. “For instance ... [an] event at our outdoor pavilion, whether it’s church or school related, if there’s a soccer game out on the soccer fields, things like that, those exterior restrooms will be unlocked and available, but if there’s not an outdoor event hap-

pening, those restrooms will be locked.” She talked about how additional storage space was included in the expansion. “That was just another thing we took advantage of,” she said. “We’re building this expansion. We need some more storage space, so we built that into the plan as well. And we also had a need for an additional office. Our administrative offices were at capacity there, so we decided to add an additional office back there as well.”

recognize Farragut schools’ accomplishments. Honken suggested using “a few hundred, maybe a couple thousand dollars” out of Town coffers to recognize the accomplishments of “at least one teacher, if not several, from each school.” If such a proposal came before Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Honken said he’d “fight tooth and nail for it.” Committee voted unanimously to develop a program to establish criteria for a teacher recognition award. Committee member Nancy Wentz said she’d like to see SERC approach BOMA asking $25,000 ($5,000 for each of four

Farragut public schools plus Hardin Valley Academy) for recognition award costs. Honken also suggested adding “three or four more pages” of school accomplishments to Town’s “Farragut Tennessee Annual Report” magazine. “Spending an extra couple thousand bucks on three or four more pages, I think, would a great thing,” he said. Committee voted unanimously “to come up with a draft list of items for our target schools” to present at the Tuesday, Feb. 4, SERC meeting, Littleton said. Honken suggested SERC have its information ready to present to BOMA by April 1.

Acclaimed tuba ensemble at FHS Jan. 29 ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

In preparation for its upcoming eight appearance at Carnegie Hall in New York City, internationally acclaimed Tennessee Tech University Tuba Ensemble is treating the Farragut community to a free concert. The 26-member Tennessee Tech University Tuba Ensemble of Cookeville will perform starting at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29, in the Vickie B. Wells auditorium at Farragut High School, 11237 Kington Pike. The event is open to the public. William Hunley, one of three band directors at Farragut Middle School, said he and his wife, Ann, are alumni of the 26member ensemble, led by R. Winston Morris, founder and director of the ensemble and Tennessee Tech professor of music. “Mr. Morris was looking for performance opportunities for the group in preparation for the Carnegie Hall appearance,” Hunley said. The ensemble is scheduled to perform Thursday, March 13, at Carnegie Hall. “When we knew that we would be coming through Knoxville on one of our tours, we contacted the Hunleys, and they expressed a strong interest in having the

The West Knox Preschool and Activities Fair will take place from 9:30 to 11 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 25, at Farragut Town Hall. The Farragut MOMS Club is putting on the event. The Farragut MOMS Club is the Farragut chapter of the International MOMS Club, said Carol Slatas, president of the

Farragut MOMS Club. Slatas described the Farragut chapter. “We have a monthly members meeting,” She said. “We have monthly mom’s night outs. We have weekly playgroups and monthly events.” The club is “designed to support stay-at-home moms,” Slatas added. The fair is free and open to the public, she said.

“We want people to have a warm place where they can go and learn about a lot of different programs, so they can make an important decision about where they want to send their kid for preschool or any type of activity,” she added. The idea for the event came from a question that people, usually when they had just moved to See TOWN on Page 8A

8A • FARRAGUTPRESS THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 2014

Watches are good If we tend to be late for appointments and such, I think one of the main reasons is because we’re like kids when it comes to time. We have no adult concept of it…even though we are adults. We hyperfocus and lose all awareness of the passing of the grains of sand as the world turns. And since life is so delicious to us we are ( m o r e often than Pam n o t ) Young swept up Make it by what Fun! w e ’ r e focused on at the moment and are shocked by how time flies! However once an event quits being interesting or fun to us, we are easily sidetracked. My definition of sidetracked is: being pulled away from one thing because it got boring, to something new to do that sounds more fun. I remember when writing Sidetracked Home Executives: from pigpen to paradise, I decided I should wear a watch! What a novel idea! I went out and got a cheap one knowing how easy it would be to lose it or get it wet accidently. At first I was overly conscious of the thing on my wrist so it wouldn’t get wet or bang into something, but after awhile I got use to it until I lost it and had to

buy another one. Wearing a watch really did help me get a better handle on time. That first one had a big face and a second hand and since I was interested in how much time each task takes in a home, I began timing them. I was shocked at how little time most chores take! So where was all my time going? How come I couldn’t get my bed made in the 3 1/2 minutes I found out it takes? Well my little sidetrackers, I figured it out! At the time I didn’t know about Nelly (my inner child) so I didn’t know it was her doing! See any job in the home that is boring from the get go (and I rank bed making right up there with peeling hard boiled eggs and matching socks) the inner child in us gets bored and thinks up other things for us to do. What I wanted to know back then was; at what point in the making of the bed did I come up with a brilliant idea to do something else? I had to find out. Armed with my watch with the second hand, I waited until it was on the 12 and began the project while waiting for Nelly to come and pull me away from the work at hand. SIX SECONDS into the make there it was! ‘There’s pie in the refrigerator!’ Now had I not been aware of my thinking I would have ended up in the kitchen with a mouthful of blackberry pie. NELLY! Back to the bed. Instead of minding that thought, I said, “Shut up!” and continued with the mission. All in all, I was interrupted about 17 times. ‘Let’s call Mom.’ ‘Is the mail here yet?’ ‘Oh

meeting the actual people that you’re entrusting your children to.” Slatas described some of those participating in the fair. “Some of them are preschools,” she said. “Some of them are mom’s day out. Some are daycares. Some are activities ... activities that people can do or programs for kids to attend who are preschool age.” As of a Wednesday, Jan. 8, interview, a complete listing of those participating in the event was not finalized, she said.

there’s the dog let’s play with her.’ ‘Did you take your vitamin?’ ‘When’s your dental appointment?’ ‘Let’s see what’s on television.’ Each time a thought came into my consciousness I’d tell it to “Shut up,” and continued on with my work. (If I would have known it was just Nelly getting bored with such a dumb job I would never have told her to shut up. Instead I would have said, and still do to this day, ‘Not now sweetie, let’s finish this job first.’) You are blessed if you have the ability to hyper-focus. It’s a form of meditation really. The whole world as we know it stands still while we get to be in our own little worlds and I think BOPs (born organized peole) have a very hard time doing that! The trouble comes when there’s work we need to do like fix dinner and we’re exhausted because we just spent the last three hours detailing the grout in the tiles around the bath tub with a toothbrush. With just a little awareness of what your inner child is up to and a kind and loving response can allow you to finish all the boring stuff and then you get to hyperfocus on play! Oh and watches are good.

big family because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a feeling of camaraderie. And the feeling that, I notice that any time thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any problem or any concern with people, everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willing to jump in, and that gives us a sense of security. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the best things is you can come in, and no matter what you have going on, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people that are more than happy and want to be there for you, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, to me, what the church is all about.â&#x20AC;?

Another championship for FHS Special Olympics hoops team ■ ALAN SLOAN

asloan@farragutpress.com

Despite having only six players, Farragut High School’s Special Olympics co-ed basketball team recently came away with another Knox County championship. Traveling to Hardin Valley Academy, Farragut defeated Austin-East before edging SouthDoyle 15-13 in the Traditional Division A championship game Friday, Nov. 22. “They were incredibly enthusiastic about it,” Joseph Book, FHS Special Education teacher and team coach, said . Pointing out his team “had won that division previously, the year before,” Book added, “A lot of them were seniors [this school year] and they really wanted to give it one more go-around.” Team members are seniors Alex

Moczadlo, Sierra White, Keno Callier, Emannuel Howard and Tre Booker plus sophomore Katherine Parker. “Being outside the general school day, this would be one of the bigger events that they go to,” Book said. Farragut is success also included being part of a television news clip. “They were so excited about winning because if they have enough funding to hold a state tournament, we can be considered to go. I know that our kids would really like to go to it.” With funds pending, a state tournament location and date still had not been determined as of late 2013, Book said. “Sometime next semester.” Reflection on his own joy about Farragut’s team, “It’s really nice to be able to spend time and get to know the kids outside of the class-

room,” Book said. “Everything’s so based around getting ready for the Common Core, putting them through CPlevel classes, that a lot of times they get stressed,” he added. “Sometimes you miss that connection that should be there between student and teacher. “But when we have special events like this, that allows us to bond in a different way, that way we can understand each other better.” By winning in Traditional Division A, “That means that our kids competed on their own without the use of peer tutors,” Book said. Farragut won despite an obstacle or two. “Unfortunately we didn’t get any practice time this year,” Book said. “… I’d say the majority of them can’t stay after school to practice.”

Gift Shop comes to FPS

■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Farragut Primary School children recently had an opportunity last week to shop for their family members at school. Farragut Parent-Teacher Association teamed up with Fun Services to provide The Holiday Gift Shop in the school’s library. Arlene Driver, PTA president, said the program allowed students to shop for their family members without mom and dad watching. “It was like Black Friday for 400 kindergartners all at once,” Driver said, smiling. “It was pure chaos. It was just lines, but they had a great time.” There were about 5,000 items – from stuffed toys to clothing – and 80 percent of the items cost less than $5, Driver noted. “They are buying things pretty

much at cost,” she explained. “The main point is for the children to be able to buy secretly for family members,” she said. “Teachers, parents and volunteers have said it’s been a great experience for the children. They loved it.” The response has been overwhelming, she said. “We didn’t know what to expect,” she added. The teachers, parents and other volunteers related how children exclaimed such things as: “My mommy is just going to love this!” “They just love picking things out themselves,” Driver said. They were so proud, and it was so heartwarming.” “It’s been interesting,” Jeannette Wilson, a volunteer whose son is in kindergarten at See FPS on Page 11A

In celebration of their fiftieth wedding anniversary, Charles Edward “Ed” Beltz and Carol Sue Clay Beltz renewed their vows before friends and family Sunday, Jan. 19. Pastor James Kirk, formerly of Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church, officiated. They were married Jan. 18, 1964, at Lutheran Church of the Atonement, Syracuse, N.Y. with the blessings of their parents, late Charles Henry Clay and late Beatrice Ardell Clay of Syracuse, and late Herman Elwood Beltz and late Mary Julia Beltz of Suitland, Md. The Rev. Paul D. Joslyn officiated. The couple have four daughters: Mary Allison Sousa, Victoria Ardell Beltz of Bridgewater, N.J.; Jennifer Ann Beltz of Boston; and Katherine Amanda Beltz now of Portland, Maine. Sue works part-time as a Registered Nurse certified in Neonatal Intensive Care at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. She also runs her own catering business, “SueChef.” Since retiring as a vice president and complex manager in different regions of the country for investment firms Merrill Lynch and Prudential Securities, Ed, an avid runner who holds a black belt in three styles of karate,

remains active in sports officiating with local high school and middle school baseball, softball and basketball leagues. The couple’s grandchildren, Lauren Schnitzer, Cameron and Jamison Sousa and Adam Schnitzer, will stand up for the proud couple at the recommitment ceremony, A brunch reception is scheduled to follow the ceremony, both to be held at Knoxville’s The Orangery.

really had the temptation,” Morgan said. “Watching videos in here, there’s some really, I guess, graphic videos showing really scary [accidents] just seeing those people. It really puts you in the thought that, ‘wow, this could happen to anybody.’” Chip Thomas, FHS sophomore also in Moore’s class, said texting-and-driving “is always tempting. Like [Nugent] said,

and euphoniums is uncommon. “My tuba and baritone section is really excited to hear them [the ensemble],” he said. “I hope they will be inspired and amazed what

the tuba and euphonium instrumentalists can do and see what the capabilities of these instruments are. It’s going to open their eyes to possibilities.”

parents without their parents being around,” Wilson added. “Then they got to wrap it at the end. That’s all part of the fun.” “I really think this is awesome the school is doing this,” Ashley Vittitow, a volunteer and parent

of two FPS students, said . “It’s good the kids can shop for their parents.” This year is the first time in 18 years Farragut Primary has held The Holiday Shop, Driver said.

‘you always want to see what your friends have to say.’ But it can always wait.” Concerning serious accidents, “You hear about it all the time on the news, just a bunch of wrecks from it,” Thomas said. “This class definitely helps with all the videos, all the graphic stuff that really scares you.” Driver’s education teacher at FHS the past 30 years, Moore said texting while driving “is becoming more and more of a problem … one of the biggest

one.” In addition to a driver texting while he is moving along a road or highway, red-light-stop texting “also is illegal, and that can distract you enough to cause a problem, too. … They’ll finish that text when they start to move. You can tell that’s what they’re doing, their eyes are down. “I’ve had students talk about putting their phones where they can’t even get to them when they’re driving,” Moore added.

“THE WORLD’S BEST YOUNG ELVIS” Saturday, January 25th • 8:00pm Ronald & Lynda Nutt Theatre

Travis LeDoyt has been called “the best young Elvis in the world,” and there are four good reasons why; 1) he looks like Elvis; 2) he sings like Elvis; 3) he moves like Elvis; and 4) his personality and mannerisms both on and off stage are strikingly similar to Elvis. Travis flawlessly captures the essence of Elvis in his prime, and restricts his shows to the hits and ambience of 1954-1959.

Mother Earth Meats opens ■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

Mother Earth Meats, located at 11151 Kingston Pike, Suite A, opened in December. It will mark the second location for the business. The Maryville location has existed for about five years, Tracy Monday, owner of Mother Earth Meats, said. “I was a farmer who started growing organic meats and selling them from a pick-up truck and wound up with a store in Maryville, and now it’s grown to another store,” Monday said. Monday talked about how he got the idea for his business. “It kind of grew from my own experience growing up as a country boy,” he said. “We raised and butchered our own meats, and they were just so much better than the grocery store. And there I was, a farmer, raising animals

and then buying my meat at the grocery store, and it’s just not good meat.” Eventually he started selling meat by individual pieces at farmer’s markets in Oak Ridge and Maryville, he said, after developing a relationship with R&D Slaughtering in Dunlap. “They process animals for local farmers under USDA inspection, so that we can sell it piece by piece,” he said. The demand of customers at the farmer’s markets caused Monday to increase variety of meats. “And then people who bought the beef wanted chicken, they wanted the pork, and I started growing all those animals,” he said. “And next thing you knew, I was growing all these different types of meat just so I could go with a fully loaded wagon to the farmer’s market. There were lines waiting for the farmer’s

market to open at my booth, so there was a huge demand for it.” Most of the beef, poultry, pork and exotic meats at Mother Earth Meats are processed in East Tennessee and locally grown, he said. If he had to use one word to describe Mother Earth Meats in Farragut, it would be unique. “To sum it up in one word, it’s unique because we’re going to be a butcher shop that’s also a restaurant that’s also a craft beer store that’s also a grocery store, so you can’t really categorize it,” he said. “It’s so unique.” Examples of burger options at the Farragut restaurant include elk burger, bison burger, yak burger, lamb burger and grass-fed beef burger. “We’re going to have a huge burger menu, or you could pick out a piece of sea bass and we’ll grill it for you,” he said.

Lea’s Natural Health Solutions LLC grew out of one of the owners’ personal health experiences. Overton Lea and his wife, Linda, are the owners of the business. Overton Lea said his wife was diagnosed in the mid 1990s with chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus markers, fibromyalgia, pernicious anemia and Hashimoto’s disease. The couple went to see a natural health professional in Memphis, her husband said, and the professional helped Linda Lea eliminate those ailments. Linda Lea now is a natural health professional herself, Overton Lea said. “Linda did not originally plan to be a health care practitioner, but she was so enthused by her own experience that she learned how to do what this person in Memphis had done for her,” he added. “And she’s been doing it for about 12 years now.” Lea’s Natural Health Solutions LLC, 620 N. Campbell Station Road, suite 23, celebrates its 10th anniversary in January, Overton Lea said. “It’s a nice collection of natural products and services,” he added. “We provide a variety of services in natural health from biofeedback computer to reflexology to emotional work, and then we also provide esthetician services, facials and waxing from a natural perspective. “And then we have the products to support those services.”

Farragut ENT Allergy now one of three ■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

At one building in Farragut, what was once one business has become three. Farragut ENT and Allergy moved from 11201 West Point Drive, suite 103, to its new location at 144 Concord Road. The first day of operation for the business at Concord Road was Wednesday, Dec. 4, said Brittany Bidwell, information management officer and marketer with the three businesses. But the business location is not just Farragut ENT and Allergy anymore, she said. “We actually have turned into three total businesses: The parent company is Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Associates, and then we have branched off into three assumed businesses,” she said. The three businesses also include Farragut Hearing Aids and Audiology and Knoxville Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, she said. The switch was made official in October. “We’re growing as a practice,”

she said. “And we also have several specialties in the building, which they’re growing, so it was kind of time to make that decision.” Farragut ENT and Allergy had all of the services of the three businesses previously, she said. She described how the three businesses work together. “They are all owned by the same parent company, and they work cohe-

sively,” she said. “They all work together. The front desk is the same for all businesses.” With the move, there is more room for each service, as well, she said. “Our audiology department now has their own rooms, which they only had one small area before,” she said. She described the benefits to the Farragut ENT and Allergy component from the move.

“They didn’t have testing rooms for the patients,” she said. “There was only one small area where we could perform testing. ... And we didn’t have shot bays, and with our shot bays, now that we have those, we’re actually able to get the patients in and out faster, which is important to them. “They don’t want to sit and wait just to get an allergy shot.”

Admirals break out the broom ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

The Farragut High School basketball teams swept Hardin Valley Academy Friday night, Jan. 17, at Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium. The Admirals notched a thrilling 52-51 victory over the Hawks while the Lady Ads nabbed a 74-37 victory over HVA. In the boys game, Farragut, thanks to a last second shot by center Billy Williams, prevailed after trailing the Hawks all night. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for the Admirals Admirals 52 ( 7 - 1 2 Hawks 51 overall, 45 in District 4-AAA). The Ads fell behind 18-6 in the first quarter. Farragut clawed its way back and trailed by just four points by halftime. Hardin Valley clung to a 39-35 lead heading to the third quarter before Williams and the Admirals battled back and claimed a crucial district victory as time expired. “It feels really good to hit that shot,” Williams, who scored nine of his 17 points in the fourth quarter, said. “We just kept fighting and this came down to the last shot. “Every game in our district is tough and everybody just kept fighting hard.” Williams buried three shots in the final 49 seconds to help propel the Admirals past the Hawks (12-7, 6-3). “Billy Williams is the man, OK,” Farragut head coach Chris Cool said. “He’s one of those guys barking at me in practice and

telling me to get him the ball. “Well, we’re going to get him the ball from now on. This was a big win for us and this is the type of win that can turn our season around. This feels great because we’ve been so close all year and we get to that point where we make mistakes that cost us.” Farragut had that key mistake when it had a late turnover that led to a bucket by the Hawks’ Blaine Shockley that gave HVA a 51-47 lead with 32.1 seconds left. Williams then buried a 3pointer to make it 51-50 with 13.9 seconds left. Farragut’s defense then broke up the ensuing inAdmirals 74 bounds Lady Hawks 37 pass. The ball was awarded to HVA, which turned the ball over to give the Ads the chance they needed. HVA head coach Keith Galloway pointed to missed fourthquarter foul shots as the reason for his team’s loss. “If we hit our free throws, we win this game,” he said. “You’ve got to hit your free throws.” The Hawks missed four crucial foul shots down the stretch, Shockley scored 13 points to lead HVA. The Lady Admirals continued their winning ways Friday night as they got some offense from a pair of new sources. Junior forward Kristen Freeman came off the bench shared high–scoring honors with Anna Woodford. Both players scored 17 points for Farragut (18-1, 9-0). Junior point guard Sue-Yun Kim scored eight points See ADMIRALS on Page 4B

Bearden boys roll with ‘D,’ girls back on track ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

While Bearden’s Lady Bulldogs were just shaking off the effects of a three-game losing streak thanks to a pair of decisive wins last week, Mark Blevins’ BHS boys are starting to roll. Edging Farragut in overtime at FHS, then sticking 96 points on Lenoir City, the Bulldogs came out aggressive defensively against

West in a rivals showdown Friday, Jan. 17, in BHS gymnasium. Seizing control from the start and leading 44-22 at the half, Bearden was never challenged in w h a t Bulldogs 79 ended up a 79-61 Rebels 61 rout. “I thought everybody played just superb defensively,” Blevins, whose team improved to 14-7 overall, 7-2 in District 4-AAA, said.

“And offensively, I thought Sam Phillips [junior post] was the difference in the first half, he had 10 [points] and four boards and controlled the inside. “ We ’ v e r e a l l y Lady Bulldogs 58 played Lady Rebels 22 well in the last week,” he added. “No. 14, that’s big for us.” West fell to 4-15, 3-6. Bearden’s balanced scoring

was led by senior wing Jack Graham with 15 points, followed by Phillips with 11. “Our press really worked well tonight. We were all hustling, we were all working hard, really getting after them,” Graham said. “We got on top of them early,” Phillips, who returned Friday after missing two games with a hip pointer, said. “Our defense really creates our offense most of the times. But when we get in the

half court, the guys do a great job of hitting me whenever I’m open.” The Lady Bulldogs improved to 17-4 overall, 6-3 in district winning 58-22, while led in scoring by senior guard Erin Walsh with 17. Junior post Madison Rice came off the bench to score 16. Coming off “losing three games by seven points” before last week’s routs of West and Lenoir See BHS on Page 3B

Farragut seniors go out winners, despite team loss ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

With Farragut High School wrestling’s depleted numbers, the team’s Senior Night celebration Tuesday, Jan. 14, was not going to culminate in a team victory against rival Hardin Valley Academy. Despite a 60-21 loss during the season’s final duals match in FHS’s Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium, the Admirals did win four of six contested individual matches — including both seniors. Farragut senior Blade Martin (160-pound class) outlasted

HVA’s Josh Uphoff 16-10, while FHS senior Shawndale Davila (220) scored a second period pin against Hawk Adam Clapp. “I got real tired. … All I’ve had in the last two days is a banana and a bottle of water,” Martin said about trying to make weight, and the resulting effects. Davila said being aggressive is key. “I might not be as big as these guys, but I try to go after them as hard as I can,” he said. Other Admirals wins included Tyler Stinnett at 113, striking with a first period pin against Dawson Belitz. Ryan Coke (170) scored a

first-period pin after being down early 2-0 against HVA’s Nathaniel Broemmel. “He was a lot stronger than me, but I knew a lot more moves to work on,” Coke, a junior, said. “I tried to tire him out, work more moves on him.” Hardin Valley, No. 2 in District 4-AAA duals behind Bearden, was led by victories — both first period pins — from senior Jon Schumann (152) and freshman Chase Matlack (126). “We’re really excited about Chase. It’s his freshman year,” Diego Contreras, HVA first year

head coach, said. “… When we get wins like the one we got out of Chase it really lets us know that we’re going in the right direction. We’re excited about that.” Overall, “We’ve got a really young team,” Contreras said. “We’re trying to get these guys to the point to where they can compete. It’s going to take a little time.” Hawk sophomore Ian McNitt (120), who won by forfeit Jan. 14, was a state qualifier as a freshman (106) who finished No. 2 in Catholic Invitational. “We’re expecting him to go to state, and we’re excited about that,” Contreras said. Schumann returned to action Jan. 14 after missing a big chunk of the season. “I dislocated my thumb in the Catholic tournament, and I was out for four weeks,” he said. Hoping to sharpen his skills, “I want to do well in regions so I can go to state,” Schumann added. Photos by Alan Sloan

City, “What we’re trying to do is put together four quarters of defensive effort because it seems to fuel our offense,” BHS head

coach Justin Underwood said. Walsh said her girls “are playing better defense and playing as a team. We’ve come together and kind of worked some things out.” Individually, “I thought Kaci Mitchell did a good job defensive-

ly in the paint,” Underwood said. “I thought she did a good job of being able to give us some strength down low, both on the offensive and defensive end. “Madison Rice, she’s great around the basket with her left

hand and her right hand, and I thought her defense was better tonight,” Underwood added. Rice said, “I got a lot of good passes from my teammates like Chanler [Geer] and Carly [Shuler].”

(all in the first half) to set the tone for the Lady Ads, who led 10-7 at the end of the first quarter. Farragut led 34-22 at halftime before blowing things open with a 22-10 third-quarter run. “It’s usually my job to get my teammates the ball but I saw the opportunity to score,” said Kim, a transfer from Bearden who hit two 3-pointers to open the game. Freeman came off the bench and was a force in the second and third stanzas for Farragut. “We started out a bit slow,” Freeman, who scored six points in the second quarter and 11 more in the third frame, said. “But then we started rebounding. Rebounding was a big thing for us. “Our defense was big. Our goal is to give up 35 points and tonight, we gave up 37.” Madison Maples finished with 10 points for Farragut and Maegen Hudson had eight. “This is what happens when we share the basketball,” FHS head coach Jason Mayfield said. “As long as we share the ball, we have eight girls who can score,” Mayfield wasn’t quite as pleased with the Lady Ads’ defense – particularly in the second quarter. “It may sound silly but I wasn’t all that happy with our defense,” he said. “I think we gave them too many easy buckets in the second quarter.” Lacy Cantrell scored 13 points to lead the Lady Hawks (10-9, 45). It was her offense that kept Hardin Valley within striking distance. “Lacy did a good job for us early,” Lady Hawks’ head coach

Resolve to organize Are the words "organize," "declutter" or "purge" somewhere in your 2014 New Year's resolutions? Every family has it's struggles with clutter whether it's Great Grandma's doll collection you inherited, little Johnny's endless lego stash, clothing that we will "one skinny day" wear, to plain ole junk drawers. The National Association of Professional Organizers reports that we don't use eigthty percent of the stuff we

keep! The goal of organizing isn't to make your home pristine, but rather to make your life calm and functional resulting in more quality time for yourself and your family. Here's a few ideas to get you started: • Keep a small squeegee in the shower to wipe down stall and doors, this will save you time when cleaning. • Use a plastic tub with a handle to stow away hairsprays,

lotions and other toiletries. When you are finished getting ready in the morning simply put the tub under your sink. Viola! Clean counters!! • Place all soaps, shampoos, conditioners, etc into a shower caddy • Trash cans are wonderful for corralling "things" like sporting equipment, balls, and even wrapping paper looks great in a cut

basket in your craft room! • Make it a habit to clean out your refrigerator before you put new groceries in! • Take the time to make over your pantry ... keep heavy items on the bottom shelf and stuff you use everyday at eye level. Group baking items in one section, breakfast items in another, and if you have kids set up a "snack zone" An organized house not only

feels cleaner, but looks bigger and will show better when it's on the market! Good Luck!
