Farley spelling his way to Washington Next stop is News Sentinel Southern Appalachian Regional Spelling Bee at The University of Tennessee in March
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
The words “festinate” and “nebula” decided the winner of Farragut Middle School’s annual spelling bee. After 12 rounds, seventh-grader Caden Farley won the spelling bee, which took place Wednesday, Jan. 21, at the school. Brooke Creasy, an eighth-grader, was first runner-up in the competition. “I feel great,” Caden, son of Kevin and Amy Farley, said. “It was fun. I like spelling bees.” The Jan. 21 competition was not Caden’s first. “I was in it three times before,” he said. “I practiced a lot.”
“I was so excited,” Amy Farley said. “I teared up, and I started shaking when it got to the end. He did study though.” Caden and his mother said they were surprised he was given the word “nebula.” She said when Caden was in preschool, the children had to bring in a word with a letter of the alphabet, and he was given the letter “n.” He chose the word “nebula.” “So, when he got that word, I started smiling,” she said. Caden will go on to compete in the News Sentinel Southern Appalachian Regional Spelling Bee March at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Brooke, daughter of Scott and
Gayla Creasy, will serve as an alternate at the regional spelling bee. “I haven’t participated in the spelling bee since the fifth grade,” she said. “I am glad that I studied or I would not have made first runner up.” Caden and Brooke are two of 25 students who competed in the schoolwide event, bee coordinator Judy Rule said. “We modeled our bee after the national competition,” she said. “The students take a written test and then they have the oral round of competition. “We started with 50 students. They took a written test last See BEE on Page 2A

‘Drive-thrus’ topic for BOMA ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen again are looking to whether or not to allow businesses to have drive-thrus in its proposed downtown district. Although Board members at their meeting Thursday, Jan. 22, voted unanimously to approve Ordinance 14-21, which adds specific regulations such as restricting drive-thrus, it directed Town staff to bring back to the Board language in the ordinance that could allow for some drive-thrus. This action came on the heels of hearing from developers of property that was previously the Silver Spoon site off South Campbell Station Road. Clint Woffard with Woffard Development of Chattanooga, said his firm took under contract the lot at 103 Campbell Station Road and presented a site plan. Woffard said his group recently learned about the ordinance but said one of the potential tenants would require a drive-thru. “After meeting with Mark [Shipley], Farragut Community Development director, last week, the architects and I have done everything we could to try to come up with a plan to try to accommodate everything you asked for in the MUTC 14-21 ordinance with the exception of this drive-thru aspect,” Woffard said, adding he and his architects are trying to conceal the
drive-thru as much as they can. “It’s not a fast-food operation,” he said. “It’s a high-end use that I think will very well justify a mixed-use town development situation.” He asked how to move forward to request a variance. “Without that drive-thru, that tenant will not come,” Woffard said. “I will not be able to move forward without those guys there.” Parker Bartholomew with Hatcher Hill Properties said the former Phillips 66 property is no longer an option for that development but the 103 Campbell Station Road property is. “We really ask that you guys take a look at this,” Bartholomew said. “Turkey Creek is full, so this is the next natural area for growth.” The drive-thru issue has been volleyed back and forth since the Board and Farragut Municipal Planning Commission started talking about a Downtown District, Shipley said. The Commission voted ultimately to disallow drive-thrus, he added. To keep momentum going for a downtown district, Alderman Bob Markli voted to approve Ordinance 14-21 but he added the directive for drive-thrus. “We thought if we could relax [the regulation], we would relax it specific to a site,” Alderman Ron Honken said.

When Goody’s headquarters moved from Athens to West Knoxville just beyond the town of Farragut, the former Trucker’s Lane in the early 1990s — deadending before connecting with Lovell Road — soon became Parkside Drive connecting Lovell Road and Cedar Bluff Road. This eventually lucrative process, which later connected Cedar Bluff to Campbell Station Road in Turkey Creek, started in the late 1980s according to a pair of prominent figures. “When we saw that happening we realized how good a piece of ground the Turkey Creek tract was,” John Turley, prominent real estate developer and chief manager

Growing from a quiet pastureland in 2000, this 1.8-mile almost solid row stretch of retail stores, north and south side — 8/10ths of mile in Farragut — annually generates millions of dollars in sales. “Turkey Creek has been an
economic bonanza for both Knoxville and Farragut,” said Victor Ashe, former Knoxville mayor who was instrumental in bringing Goody’s to West Knoxville — said to be the most critical factor leading to Parkside’s growth. “I don’t think in our wildest dreams we thought it would reach the level See TURKEY CREEK on Page 4A

You can take the interim tag off of Stephanie Thompson’s title at Farragut High School. “I have appointed Stephanie Thompson principal at Farragut High School,” Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., superintendent of Knox County Schools, stated in a press release Thursday, Jan. 29. “I was blessed as a child to grow up in Atlanta in a brand new school that was just beginning to set [its] traditions of excellence,” Thompson told the gathering for FHS Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony,
Class of 2015, Saturday evening, Jan. 31, in the school’s Commons. “ T h a t school has gone on to be an extraordinary institution. But at that time we were small. “One of Thompson my mentors always said, it penetrated everything he told us, ‘I expect excellence no matter what,’” added Thompson, who began the school
year as interim principal replacing Michael Reynolds, who served as FHS principal for 10 school years. “It didn’t matter if we were on the court, in the classroom or we were on the stage, they expected us to give our very best. That is very similar to what we experience every day here at Farragut High School.” A KCS press released stated Thompson began teaching in Ocala, Fla., then joined KCS in 2005 as a business teacher at Farragut and Halls high schools. Thompson also has served as a See THOMPSON on Page 4A

FHS cell tower project dies ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A little more than two years after coming forward to propose building a cellular tower at Farragut High School that would be a source of revenue for the school, U.S. Cellular has pulled out. “We had submitted contract amendments to U.S. Cellular quite some time ago, and we were awaiting their response. The Knox County law department received a communication from U.S. Cellular in November indicating that they are not currently interested in the Farragut High School site,” Russ Oaks, chief of staff for Knox County Schools, stated in an e-mail. The law department “submitted contract revisions to U.S. Cellular as requested on May 9,” another Oaks e-mail stated. A U.S. Cellular press release dated Jan. 6 stated: “Following initial conversations with Farragut High School, we determined that we could satisfy our customers’ immediate needs for data services without constructing an additional tower at the high school.” “Last I heard everything was great, and then it just like all of sudden kind of bogged down and we weren’t hearing anything,” Jerry Martin, FHS Education Foundation president, said. In reference to U.S. Cellular, Martin said that in the early stages of considering a tower for FHS, “From their point of view it was a necessity. That they needed to get more tower capacity because of the technology and
the boom of everybody using data and everything like that. There may be very legitimate technological changes. “Obviously, we were excited when this proposal first came up,” Martin added about U.S. Cellular’s first contact with FHS and Knox County Schools in October 2012. While the proposal included sharing profits with KCS, Martin said, “We saw it as a good way for Farragut High School to get some very necessary funds without much downside. Especially when we got everybody together and thought putting a tower in the area of the football stadium would not have any negative effect on visuals or anything. That’s because you already had a bunch of light poles sticking up down there anyway. “It seemed to be a win-win for everybody.” Karen Carson, District 5 representative on Knox County Board of Education (includes Farragut public schools), said, “I felt like it was an opportunity to get a little extra cash in a school that has many needs that aren’t met right now.” Carson pointed out “a number of hurdles” needing to be cleared in order for the tower to be approved by all parties involved. “There seemed to be so many layers of red tape. … There were a lot of questions about how money would be used,” Carson said. Had U.S. Cellular pursued the tower, Farragut Board of Mayor and Alderman would have been

year,” Rule said. The number of students was narrowed down to 25. After several rounds the words became more difficult until a winner was determined. “I think it shows they and the other kids did a good job,” Rule said. “We had to go with the more difficult words because they
were doing so well. The students were well-prepared,” English teacher Sarah Mayer said. “Caden is amazing. I have no doubt he would do this well with this.” As in the FMS event, students who take part in the regional bee will take a written test before they move on to the oral rounds, Rule added. Winners of the regional bee will advance to the The E.W. Scripps Company National
Spelling Bee near Washington, D.C. According to Scripps, every fall, tens of thousands of schools enroll in its program. During the fall and winter, schools will conduct spelling bee programs at the classroom, grade and/or school level, and send their spelling champions to the next level of competition as designated by their local spelling bee sponsors.

Answers from the eye doctor
Q:
Have there been advances in treatments for age-related macular degeneration? Southeastern Retina Associates
Nicholas G. Anderson, MD Age-related macular degeneration affects over 11 million Americans today, and the number is only expected to increase as the population ages. Recently, a new technology has been scientifically proven to dramatically increase the early detection of a sub-type of visually threatening degeneration. This FDA-approved device is used in the home to monitor the health of the retina, the part of the eye typically affected by degeneration. The home examination takes about five minutes per eye and should be used at least twice weekly. The results of the home monitoring device are sent by cellphone to a central database that can be monitored by the patient's physician. Prior to this device, the rate of early detection of this type of degeneration ranged from 15 to 25 percent. In contrast, the device has demonstrated a rate of early disease detection between 87 to 94 percent.

How Did We Get Here? Some parents choose to remain silent and not invade their children’s space. They leave their child to learn from other sources. Being silent will cause parents and their children a whole lot of trouble in life. It’s true they are learning, but are they learning what we, as parents, want them to learn? Your child’s discovery could be fatal. Because some children can be so vocal and strong-willed against their parents’ policies and rules, many parents refuse to get involve in their child’s life. How did we get here? Often, we as parents, go through life with the perception that experience is the best teacher for our children. Experience can and will teach one a whole lot, but it is not the best teacher. Parents are the best teachers. Could it be that this is where part of our problems with rebellious, defiant and disrespectful children originates? How did we get here? Could it be that the parents of these children were never taught lessons on obedience and respect? Parents who find themselves in this situation should seek help. No child should have to overcome life’s obstacles by finding out the hard way. We, as parents owe our children the opportunity to live a productive life. When a child is not taught to respect and obey authority, it usually leads to an unproductive lifestyle. There was a time in our society when one could see and hear respect without even looking for
it, but times have changed. In today’s society, respect has to be demanded, and even when it is, most people don’t know what it looks or sounds like. Some people don’t know if there is such thing as respect. This is why parents must start early to teach their children the important of respect toward them as parents and for those in authority. Many people don’t respect the Constitutional rights of others, yet they demand that their own rights not be violated. Many people don’t respect the property of others. Children that challenge law enforcement personnel and others in authority positions were never taught to respect and obey authority at any level. They were never taught to respect — and consequently, they have no respect for any authority. How did we get here? If we, as parents, fail to teach our children the importance of respect while they are young, it could be our own children who later commit violence against us, in our own community, on our own streets and in our own homes. Many times, the children that pollute our streets with drugs and gangs were born and raised in the very houses they are menacing. How did we get here? If someone wants what you have badly enough, they will stop at nothing to get it. Where is the respect for mankind? How did we get here? I guess the more important question would be, how do we get back?
• Many of us have houses under construction in our neighborhoods. In my neighborhood I’m dealing with contractors and their [subcontractors] going through stop signs, speeding, haphazard parking, litter — both construction and personal, aggregate in the street, pallets of construction material blocking the sidewalk and loud music. I have called the Town about violations and they have responded expeditiously but does the Town ever issue citations for repeated violations by the same contractor? I certainly don’t see evidence of these violations occurring infrequently, but the contrary. The Town claims that they lack the personnel for enforcement yet their code inspectors are capable of observing and reporting violations when on site for inspections. The Town should
be more vigilant in keeping a safe environment for its residents, in my opinion. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

Martin said about the tower, “Even if they built the tower, other carriers would be able to hang their antennas on it. … The more carriers and people who wanted to use the tower, the more revenue there was going to be to the high school.” Carson added, “I wanted to be able to put it out there and see if it was doable. … We never got to the point where we could put it out to the community and say, ‘What do you think?’”
and said, ‘Well, if you’ll come and move from Athens and bring all these jobs here and build this big facility, we will extend Trucker’s Lane over to Lovell Road,’” Turley added. Bedwell said he was “in charge of finding the sites” for Goody’s, which also included a site in Lenoir City. “With the City and County’s cooperation, we had to punch [Trucker’s Lane] through, that was the key thing, we had to get it from Mabry Hood to Lovell Road. … That’s what then allowed the next phase to go from Lovell Road to Campbell Station.” Ashe said the deal “involved Goody’s coming up and the voluntary annexation of the Turkey Creek area. … They went together.” Having ended City of Knoxville’s lawsuit fighting Farragut’s incorporation as a Town soon after taking office Jan. 1, 1988, Ashe and the City
“reached an agreement with Farragut where a portion of [Turkey Creek] would be in the town of Farragut and a portion of it would be in Knoxville,” Ashe said. Turley said one of Schumpert’s first actions upon first being elected, “He immediately bought the right-of-way” along Trucker’s Lane leading to “three hotels that came out of the ground. And Trucker’s Lane became Parkside. It went all the way to Lovell Road. … Tommy stepped up and got the county to participate in the road.” According to the latest statistics, Turley said Lovell Road “has a higher traffic count than Cedar Bluff [Road].” Prior to the connection, “One of the real visionaries out there was the family that opened the [Beaty] Chevrolet dealership,” Turley said. “They opened that when Trucker’s Lane was not connected to Cedar Bluff.”

required to grant a variance because such towers, by ordinance, can only be placed on Town property. Board of Education and Knox County Commission also would have had to approve the tower. U.S. Cellular was the lone bidder after a request for proposals through Knox County, Martin said.

The real groundwork is [from] Victor Ashe and Tommy Schumpert,” Turley added about the work of Ashe and then Knox County Executive Schumpert starting in the late 1980s. In addition to Kingston Pike, “There was obviously a need to have a second artery through there” that connected Cedar Bluff to Lovell Road,” Turley said. “… What happened was, Robert Bedwell was hired by Bobby Goodfriend to find him a tract of ground. And Robert put together the piece of ground where Goody’s [new headquarters] went. “And then Victor stepped up

When Gail Edwards moved her boutique business from Loudon to Farragut and changed its name to Veronica G Boutique Feb. 5, 2014, she brought trendy fashions for an age group that was not being addressed, Edwards said. Veronica G Boutique, 11655 Parkside Drive, was named after the owner, Veronica Gail Edwards, who said business has been good for the past year. “We’ve been very delighted by the response we’ve gotten,” she said. “It has been rewarding.” This spring, she said the boutique is adding six new lines. Another new addition this year is sales associate, Debbie Stauffenberg, who brings with her 15-plus years experience in fashion sales. Edwards attributed the boutique’s success to its selection of unique apparel for women in the 40-to-80 age group. “We are filling a niche in the area that’s not been filled with the age group we are reaching here,” she said. “We have so many ladies that come in, and when they see what we have to offer in the store, our response we get over and over is, ‘Finally, someone is addressing ladies in our age group and bringing us fun, comfortable, fashionable, on-trend clothes.’ “What we hear from ladies so much in that age group is the teens and 20-year-olds are being addressed in the market but they think that after 40, we don’t want to be fashionable anymore, so we meet that need,” she said. Edwards said when she goes to market to choose clothing and accessories, she tries to find as many USA-made products as she can, as well products from women-owned businesses as she can, as well as small design houses with styles one does see everywhere else.

Ads end regular season strong ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
MARYVILLE — Though Farragut ended its regular season beating a winless team in District 4-AAA, Chris Cool left William Blount’s Marvin L. Boring Memorial Gym quite happy. “I told our kids, ‘Anybody that can come into William Blount and beat them on Senior Night, on their floor, by 22 points, means we played a good ballgame,’” Cool, FHS skipper, said about a 66-44 victory Tuesday night, Feb. 3. “I think our kids have regained a little bit of our focus we had at the beginning of the year” during an 8-1 start. Senior point guard Keegan McGuire and senior wing Ty Allen led Farragut in scoring with 12 points each. Guard Nick Rogers came off Admirals 66 the bench to score 11. Guard Luke Governors 44 Janney added 10. Will Doerger and Matt Eggert each scored six. “If everybody’s working their tail off we’re a pretty special team. … As long as we play with heart and energy we can beat anybody,” Cool said about his Admirals, which finished 7-7 in district (No. 4 tourney seed), 14-13 overall in the regular season. Although saying “basketball’s a grind,” Cool added about his team, “I think they’re starting to get re-energized again because we’ve played with a lot of energy the last two or three games.” Individually, “I liked the way Keegan McGuire played tonight,” Cool said. “That’s kind of the way he played at the beginning of the season. He’s attacking the basket and hitting shots, going to the free throw line. “I like the way Will Doerger’s coming in and driving the ball to the basket,” Cool added about his senior reserve post. “He and Matt Eggert are both doing a great job in the post.” McGuire said about the regular season, “I think we had to battle through some adversity during the year. I think we went through some slumps. … I think that was

really the story of our year. “When we play to our full potential I think we can beat anyone in the league.” Joel Graham and Hunter Pesterfield led William Blount with eight points each. Jai Atkins, Govs’ 6-foot-7, 260-pound junior post, was held to four points. “When we feed it in [opponents] collapse and either he knocks down a lay-up or he passes out and we get good outside shots. That’s when we shoot the best,” Pesterfield, WBHS junior guard, said. Cool was pleased about his team’s play despite a 58-53 loss at home Monday, Feb. 2, to a Bradley Central team Farragut defeated at BCHS Nov. 21. “The first time we played them they were missing two of their better players,” Cool said. “They’ve locked up the No. 1 seed in their district [5-AAA]. … I thought our kids played with a lot of heart See FARRAGUT on Page 10A

MARYVILLE — Farragut’s Lady Admirals were riding a big wave of momentum after avenging an early season blowout loss to Bradley Central, beating the Bearettes 36-32 Lady Govs 64 Monday night, Feb. Lady Admirals 56 2, at FHS. But missing junior star post Jaiden McCoy Tuesday night, Feb. 3, at William Blount — out with the flu — the Lady Govs dealt with much less resistance than Bradley Central when attempting to score in the paint. Missing a chance to finish No. 2 in District 4-AAA and earn an automatic Region 2-AAA Tournament berth after a
64-56 loss, Farragut fell behind 26-12 thanks in large part to five WBHS threepoint field goals. “I was proud of them coming out and making some shots, it got our intensity up,” WBHS head coach Todd Wright said about his team’s first quarter. “We had some defensive lapses we need to take care of,” FHS head coach Jason Mayfield said. Saying his FHS girls “didn’t get things done defensively,” Mayfield added the resulting early deficit meant “using all your energy in the second quarter coming back.” “Communication problems, that’s what hit us the first quarter,” said FHS senior post Kristen Freeman, who helped take up See LADY ADMIRALS, Page 10A

MARYVILLE — A freshmansenior combination got Hardin Valley Academy's girls off to a winning start during the District 4-AAA Basketball tournament. Twelve first-quarter points from Abbey Cornelius, 6-foot-2 freshman post, and nine more from Mandi Hylton, senior wing, accounted for all HVA points in a 21-10 first quarter lead against No. 7 seed Lenoir City. The Lady Panthers (10-20) got no closer against No. 6 seed Hardin Valley (17-12), losing 6541 Monday night, Feb. 9, during opening round tourney action at Maryville High School. “We knew that if we pounded it inside and were strong we could score,” Cornelius, who tallied a game-high 26 points, said. Hylton, who ended with 12 points, said about her team's fast start, “One of the goals we talked about in the locker room was delivering the first blow, and I
think our quick start really helped us gain momentum into the rest of the game.” “I felt like that we came out and we were the aggressor from the beginning,” HVA head coach Jennifer Galloway said. “That's what we emphasized in the locker room. Some of the smaller adjustments that we tried to emphasize in practice yesterday, we were able to carry over to the game. I was pleased with that. “All the Lady Hawks 65 girls, we Lady Panthers 41 were able to work the ball around and get the ball inside,” Galloway added. “Everybody was focused on getting to the rim, whether it was with the pass or with the dribble. Abbey was able to finish inside, and that opened up things for Mandi as well.” Defensively, “I thought we were able to get out on shooters early,” Galloway said. “And we were able to get back quicker in transition, which enabled us to
match up quicker.” LCHS head coach Rebecca Muncy said her team “just got outrebounded major in the first half, so that really put us in a hole early.” Muncy said Cornelius “is a good player,” but added, “She hadn't been the one to hurt us in the first two [regular season] games. “In this game she stepped up a little bit. … [No.] 44, Symphony [Buxton] is who hurt us in the regular season [two HVA wins], and so we were very concerned with her coming in.” Other Hardin Valley scorers were Maddie Massey with six, Lizzie Davis with five points, four each for Brooklyn Battle, Hampton and Buxton, and two points for Taylor Bishop. The Zeller duo of Amberlee, 13 points, and Ashlyn, 10, led the Lady Panthers offensively. A tourney quarterfinal battle between HVA and No. 3 seed Farragut, the loser having its season ended, was Wednesday night, Feb. 11 (after deadline).

Neilson lifts Hardin Valley boys to Senior Night win ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Tiny Maryville Christian School, with a little more than 100 high school students according to boys head coach Scott Kidd, played a hastily scheduled game against Hardin Valley Academy on HVA Senior Night Saturday, Feb. 7. Despite coming in with a 9-11 record, most games against programs of similar size and few TSSAA opponents, the Eagles rallied from a 39-25 halftime deficit. Maryville Christian actually took a 45-44 lead against the Hawks with less than two minutes left in the third quarter. However, Tristan Neilson, a 6foot-6 junior reserve post, gave Hardin Valley a spark in the game's final eight minutes. Neilson scored all 15 of his points in the fourth quarter to lead his Hawks to a 79-59 victory. “We weren't, like, playing how we should, so I just wanted to come in and help my team any way I could,” said Neilson, whose Hawks end the regular season 918, 3-11 in District 4-AAA (No. 7 seed in this week's district tourney at Maryville High School). Hardin Valley played No. 6 seed Lenoir City Tuesday evening, Feb. 10, in first round tourney action (after deadline).
Senior wing Blaine Shockley scored 14 for HVA followed by junior post Tyler Thompson with 10. Senior wing Jacob Schopmann added nine. Senior point Caleb Clevenger scored eight for the Hawks, as did junior post Tyler Durden. Senior wing/post Jordan McCroskey added seven and senior Caleb Davis four. Senior Hunter Canon Hawks 79 a l s o played. Eagles 59 “ W e could have played harder,” Schopmann said. “… The fourth quarter we played better, showed something. Tristan played really good tonight.” Peyton O'Briant, Eagles senior post and the team's leading scorer this season, led all scorers with 22. Ben Cardwell, sophomore post, added 18 for MCS. Playing a much bigger school so close for three quarter, Kidd said, “I don't know if you call it a moral victory. We've got a talented team and they really played hard. They didn't give up. They got a lot of confidence when they hit a few of those baskets” in the third quarter “and things started going our way and they played really well.” According to HVA head coach See HAWKS on Page 9A

Patterson again region champ; Hawks, Admirals combine for 9 to state

KEN LAY Correspondent
For the second consecutive year Bearden High School’s Zach Patterson is a Region 2-AAA wrestling champion. Patterson won the 120-pound title when he pinned Gibbs High’s Landon Adzima in 59 seconds at the Region 2-AAA Wrestling Championships Saturday, Feb. 7, at Halls High School. Patterson, a senior, also claimed the regional championship in 2014 and earned a berth in the state championships. He’ll make a return trip to Franklin Friday, Feb. 13, and he’ll take a different approach the second time around. “Last year, I went 1-2 down there and I got a little cocky,” Patterson said. “This year, I’m going to be humble and I feel like I have a good chance to win it. “Not being humble got me in trouble last year and this year, I’m going to be humble and I’m going to win. This is special because I’m the first back-toback [region] champion that coach [Donnie] Floyd has ever had.” Patterson knows that his second journey inside the Williamson County Convention Center won’t be easy. “The second time you go there, you have a big X on your
back,” he said. For his part, Floyd is expecting big things from Patterson, who is one of eight Bulldogs headed to state. “We really built him up last year and he went down there and fell back into reality,” Floyd said of Patterson. “He can really do something special but he has to take things one match at a time.” Bearden also had Max Grayson wrestle for the 152-pound championship. Grayson lost a 6-2 decision to top-ranked Sirrel Robinson of Halls. Floyd said that his squad rebounded nicely from a dismal showing in the semifinals at Halls. “We had a terrible semifinal
round and that was pretty rough,” Floyd said. “But we picked it up and finished strong on the back end.” Bearden’s other wrestlers headed to Franklin are: Teo Lopez (a 106-pounder who finished third); David Garabrandt (a 132-pounder, to took third by defeating Hardin Valley Academy junior Ian McNitt 1-0 in the consolation championship); Shaun Gambino (who finished fourth in the 145-pound division); Isaac Courett (138 pounds) reached the state tournament with a fourth-place finish. He dropped a 6-0 decision to the Hawks’ Nick Moore in the consolation final. At 170, Bearden’s Jacob Gerken pinned Farragut’s Ryan Coke in 2
minutes, 13 seconds. BHS’s Wesley Goultry (195 pounds) finished fourth in the 195-pound division. The top four finishers in each weight class advanced to the midstate. Meanwhile, HVA will send seven wrestlers to state: freshman Tyler Henry (who finished third in the 113-pound division); Kameron Isbell, (fourth in the 120 class); Chase Matlack (who came in fourth at 126); McNitt (fourth in the 132-pound weight class); Moore; Jacob Jackson (who took fourth in the 182-pound division) and Charles Chappell (who finished third in the 220-pound class). Hawks’ head coach Diego Contreras said he was pleased
with his team’s performance Saturday. “We’re sending seven to state and that’s one more than we had last year,” he said. “We had a lot of seniors graduate after last season. “We’re going to approach this like any other tournament. We’re going to do the best we can and hopefully, our guys will give 100 percent.” Moore also noted that he’s looking forward to his second trip to Franklin. “The last match that I wrestled today was my best,” he said. “My goal was to get back to state and this year, I won’t be overwhelmed See WRESTLING, Page 9A

BHS girls cap 14-0 district season with a win; Dawgs roll ■ KEN LAY
Correspondent
The Bearden High School basketball teams ended the regular season with a sweep of Powell at home Thursday, Feb. 5. Both the Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs had to notch comeback victories. Bearden’s boys defeated the Panthers 70-58 while the Lady Bulldogs prevailed 48-34. The Bearden boys, who were coming off a heartbreaking home loss to Maryville 48 hours earlier, opened a Lady Bulldogs 48 slim lead a g a i n s t Lady Panthers 34 the Panthers before Powell stormed back to take a 37-30 halftime lead. “The seniors let the team down in the first half,” said Bearden senior center Sam Phillips, who scored nine of his 11 points after halftime. “We were still pretty down after losing to Maryville and we knew that this might be our last shot to play at home.” Phillips did his part to spark the Bulldogs’ comeback early in the third quarter as he scored Bearden’s first five points of the frame. He Bulldogs 70 also grabbed some Panthers 58 crucial rebounds and forced the Panthers (10-13) into a pair of key turnovers. For his part, BHS head coach Mark Blevins said he didn’t think his squad, which improved to 262, was suffering from a hangover from its loss to the Red Rebels, who claimed the District 4-AAA championship with the win Tuesday, Feb. 3, at BHS. “Powell just outplayed us [in the second quarter],” Blevins said. “They did everything right and they hit shots.”
The Bulldogs turned up the pressure after halftime. Bearden used a 22-11 third-quarter surge to open a 52-48 lead by the end of the frame. Phillips scored seven points in the quarter, after which the Bulldogs never trailed again. “Sam’s play really helped,” Blevins said. Junior point guard Quez Fair also came up big in the third quarter, scoring six of his 11 points in the frame, adding to the 52-48 advantage heading to the final stanza. Bearden dominated things over the final eight minutes and blew open a close game. The Bulldogs had five players score in double figures. Austin Duncan led the way with 15 points.

immediately.” The Admirals will be represented by Coke and 160-pounder Garret Broda. Both finished fourth in their respective weight classes. Farragut’s first-year head coach Jonathan Durham said his duo was rewarded for its hard work. “It’s a small team but these guys have worked extremely hard,” Durham said. “Coke had been wrestling at 182 and I knew that for him to be successful, that he’d have to cut weight and go down to 170. But he never once complained. “Garret kind of surprised me. He’s a light 160 but he’s a lot like Ryan and he’s worked hard. These guys deserve to be going where they’re going.” Broda was ecstatic after he reached the state tournament. “This feels great,” he said. “I’m excited.” Coke experienced the same emotions. “I’m really proud of us both,” he said. “This is my first time going to state and its going to be fun. “I’m happy to be going and I’m glad Garret is coming too.” Halls won the tournament with 242.5 points. Gibbs was second (173). Bearden was third (139.5) followed by Anderson County (122) and Hardin Valley (99). Farragut finished ninth with 30 points.

guard Dakota McGowan added 14. Jason Smith had 12. Fair and Phillips scored 11 points each. McGowan said he hopes the win will be just what Bearden needs to make a postseason run. “It feels good to come back and win,” he said. “Hopefully, this win will build our confidence.” The Lady Bulldogs also had trouble with Powell. Bearden (263) started slow and seemed to be fighting an uphill battle all night. The Lady Panthers (15-8) opened a 3-0 lead before Holly Hagood finally got Bearden on the board after nearly two minutes. Hagood’s bucket ignited the Lady Bulldogs. Jalia Arnwine followed that basket with a pair of 3pointers to help Bearden open an 8-3 lead with 3 minutes, 19 sec-

onds left in the first quarter. Despite that early lead, Bearden had to rally to take a 2621 halftime advantage. It was the Lady Bulldogs’ backcourt that enabled the home team to hold the upper hand early. Freshman Trinity Lee scored a game-high 15 points and Arnwine hit three long-range jumpers over the first 16 minutes. “We didn’t start well,” Lee said. “But in the second half, we came out and rebounded better. We played better defense and we turned that defense into offense.” Powell, however, didn’t go away. The Lady Panthers actually took a 34-33 lead on free throws by Tori Lentz with 5:30 left in the game. But the Lady Bulldogs closed the game with a 14-0 run. Madison Rice scored 11 points for Bearden. Lentz led Powell with 14.

the slack in McCoy’s absence offensively with a game-high 21 points. “Our goal is 35 points a game to hold a team.” Freeman said about McCoy’s absence, “It’s hard to replace a 6[foot]-3 post that does a lot of our scoring that’s one of our best offensive players and defensive players and rebounders.” But the Lady Admirals rallied thanks to a 20-4 second quarter run, leading 34-33 at halftime and 44-40 after three quarters. Unlike its long range success early, William Blount (finishing 77 in district for the No. 5 tourney seed) took it to the hoop late, using lay-ups and free throw shooting to rally past Farragut, converting 13 of 14 free throws in the fourth quarter.
Lindsay Roddy led the Lady Govs with 20 points, 15 in the fourth quarter. The Lady Ads finish regular season play 19-8 overall, 10-4 in district. William Blount improved to 19-9 overall after its win. Also taking up the slack offensively was FHS senior wing Anna Woodford, who scored 15. “They played well,” Mayfield said about Freeman and Woodford. “This season, as far as consistent scoring, it’s been Jaiden, Anna and Kristen — especially the first half of the season.” As 4-AAA tournament No. 3 seed, Farragut played No. 6 seed Hardin Valley Academy in quarterful action Wednesday night, Feb. 11, at Maryville High School (after deadline). The winner plays No. 2 seed host Maryville in one semifinal starting at 6 p.m., Friday evening, Feb. 13.

and a lot of energy. I told them I was no way disappointed in what we did [against Bradley].” Allen scored a game-high 23 points — seven three-point baskets — against the Bears. “Ty is wonderful. He’s scores points, he rebounds,” Cool said. As No. 4 district tourney seed, Farragut plays the winner of No. 5 Heritage versus No. 8 William Blount (decided after deadline) starting at 6 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 12, in a quarterfinal game at Maryville High School. The winner plays top seed Maryville at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 13. The loser’s season is over. Alan Sloan

FHS social studies top 3 Exam reveals high marks, improvement among state’s top public schools
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Farragut High School social studies department finished among the state’s top three public high schools, as measured from the Class of 2015, after a state exam revealed excellence in two areas last school year. Evaluated by Tennessee Board of Education and recently recognized, FHS Class of 2015 students achieved in the top three statewide based on high scores and level of improvement in social studies courses: government, economics, world history, geography, European history, U.S. history, psychology, sociology and world religious studies. “We have advanced placement [social studies] classes, this doesn’t even include those kids,” Angela Breeding, department chair, said. “These are your good, college-prep solid, regular U.S. history kids that are blowing it out of the water. “Now, to be recognized on the state level, is kind of a neat deal,” she added. “I attribute it to having a really strong department, and we work well together. … I think that the kids know the teachers on this wing are the kind of teachers who are approachable, that are willing to help them when they need it. I think we have a good rapport with our kids.” Alivia LaPlaunt, one of the Class of 2015 students tested, said FHS social studies “is a very involved department, where it’s like you can speak out and they’ll debate with you. If you can argue your opinion, they’ll listen to you.” LaPlaunt, who is taking an AP European history class as a senior despite already meeting her social studies graduation requirements, said “it is probably my favorite class. … It’s so much fun. All the history teachers here are great. It’s very interactive.”

Christina Craig also is taking AP U.S. History as a senior. “I did have a little trouble in U.S. history last year and Mrs. Breeding offered to help me,” she said. “That really made me feel comfortable in the class so I could get better.” Chelsea Osborne, social studies teacher, said she and Breeden “take kids to [Washington] D.C.” every other year in the spring. “Having those personal experiences with U.S. history and being able to show them those gets the kids more excited and gives them a little bit of a different viewpoint and aspect on a lot of different

things.” Carrying that over internationally since 2006, Breeding and Osborne “take kids to Europe every summer,” Breeding said, emphasizing these are not field trips for grades. “… It’s so
rewarding.” This summer Osborne is planning to take students “to France, Austria, Switzerland and Germany. One of the world language teachers is also traveling with kids, they’re doing Spain and Italy.

Two Farragut High School athletes will continue their athletic endeavors in college. Soccer player Ethan Snow and football player Nathan Gilliam made that official when they each signed National Letters of Intent at a ceremony Wednesday, Feb. 4, in FHS’s Vickie B. Wells Auditorium. Snow will play soccer at East Tennessee State University while Gilliam will play football at Wake Forest and become the third Farragut player to play for the Demon Deacons. Gilliam, whose brother Jacob recently finished his college football career at The University of Tennessee, will follow Tyson Clabo and Michael Hoag to Winston-Salem, N.C. Like Hoag and Clabo, Gilliam is an offensive lineman. “Wake Forest likes our football program,” Admirals’ football head coach Eddie Courtney said. “We’ve had two other players go there and excel. They like our school.

Six romantic ways to spark up your marriage (part I) Romance is not just about sex. My mom cracked me up, after reading some article in a woman’s magazine about sex being the main reason for a happy marriage, when she said, “If sex was the cause of happiness, then hookers would be the happiest people in the world.” To me romance is not just about sex. It’s all about creating magical moments in your relationship that’ll take little time out of your busy schedule. Stop thinking you’re too busy for romance. Here are 6 ideas I’ve collected from some very happy couples as well as some tried and true ideas from yours truly. Pam ( P l e a s e Young note: I’m on Make it my second Fun! marriage.) 1. Use your calendar: Most of us SHEs (Sidetracked Home Exec-utives) are romantics at least in the literary sense of the word. I advise having a date night once a week. I love books and movies about romance and I know that being organized helps in the romance department. (If you don’t shave your legs regularly, you’re not going to want to be romantic and your mate probably won’t be either.) Just a little bit of planning will pay off. Plan a romantic rendezvous during the month. You can get a room at a local hotel or plan to have the house all to yourselves. Just the anticipation of being
together in this way will add spark to your romantic life. As you read the ideas, write the ones you like on your calendar and don’t plan on doing all of these in one month. Spread out the ideas throughout the year. Maybe you’ve thought, ‘how can romance be put on a calendar?’ Well, you’ve got four Saturdays this February and one of them is Valentine’s Day, so go get your calendar and put a heart on every Saturday this month and let your creative mind come up with some great ideas for each one of them. If date night has sort of fallen off your radar, now’s a good time to start over and reinstate it. 2. Let the pros help: I’m not talking about getting a call girl for your husband or partner, but you can let the professional writers help you express your deepest sentiments in words. Now is the time to buy Valentine cards, so don’t just get one, get 12 and send him one every month on the fourteenth. 3. Pay attention: Whenever you can, take the time to give your partner 100% of your attention when he wants to talk to you. Put down the cell phone, dog, book, shovel, or whatever you've got in your hands (unless it’s the baby and it needs you) and face your partner, so you can really hear what he’s saying. It’ll make him feel loved and important to you and that’s romantic. 4.Keep him guessing: If you took Psych 101, you probably learned about random reinforcement. Researchers put three groups of rats in three separate cages, each equipped with a button to push. The A group of rats got a treat every time they pushed the button. The B group never got a treat, no matter how
often they pushed the button. And the C group got treats just once in a while. The A group eventually got bored with the guaranteed reward, and the B rats who never got treats gave up, too. But the C rats that received random treats would be pushing that button if they were still alive today, hoping each time they pushed it they just might get lucky. (Sounds like me in Vegas.) Romance is a treat, a magical moment in your relationship, and whether you’ve been with your mate for six months or sixty years you’ll always love little surprises and he will too. 5. Be prepared: When you’re out and about (even at the grocery store) shopping, keep your eyes open for little "surprise gifts" you know he’d like. The next time he or she is feeling down, give him one of the gifts. (Remember the C rats.) This is a wonderful and uplifting act of love and it will be remembered for a very long time. 6. 20 second hug and kiss: Years ago, I saw a marriage counselor on a television talk show talk about the best tip she had to spark up a marriage. She said this one tip had helped failing marriages and enhanced good marriages. She called it the 20 second kiss. She suggested kissing for the full 20 seconds, not coming apart. (Sort of like you did when you were dating.) I was single at the time, but I told my sister who was married about it and she tried it on her policeman husband as he went out the door for work. (He was 45 minutes late for duty.) To eliminate tardiness at work, use the 20 second kiss and hug when you’ve been apart for the day or any time more than five hours. By giving him a 20 second hug and
Are poinsettias poisonous to pets? Q: I saw your article in last month’s Farragut Press referencing the toxicity of chocolate in dogs. Your article got me thinking about poinsettias. I Stephanie have been Myers told that Ask poinsettias the Vet are poisonous to pets. I also believe that my cat, Ashley, has eaten poinsettia leaves in years past and has not appeared sick. Should I be concerned? E.B., Farragut
deathnotices birthnotices Parkwest Medical Center announces: • No births were reported this week
A: Poinsettias are really not that toxic. They have a chemical in their leaves that can be irritating to the mouth and gastrointestinal system. Due to this irritation, many pets will not eat too much of it. If dogs or cats do eat enough of it, mild nausea or vomiting may be seen. So, yes, it is safe for you to have poinsettias around the house, as they pose minimal threats to Ashley or other pets in the home. While we are on the subject, there are other potential winter hazards to be aware of. Common items that should be kept away from pets include: - Ice melt products - Antifreeze - Rat and mouse bait - Holly, mistletoe, lilies - Liquid potpourri (potential for burns) If your pet has ingested some-
thing they shouldn’t have, call your veterinarian right away. If your veterinarian is not available, the ASPCA operates a poison control center that is available 24 hours a day. Their website, www.aspca.org also provides excellent information about plants, toxins, and other sources of poisonings for pets. If you have questions about your pet, please email them to lenoircityac@gmail.com

Gilliam knows all too well about waiting. He watched his brother enroll at Tennessee as a walk-on and toil tirelessly until he was granted a scholarship as a senior in 2014. “Jacob was a big help to him when it came to making his decision,” Courtney said. Early in the recruiting process, Nathan wanted to stay close to home but that changed when Wake Forest came calling. “At first, I wanted to stay close to home but as time went on, that didn’t really matter,” Gilliam said. “I didn’t get to talk to Tyson Clabo [now with the Houston Texans] but I reached out and leaned on Michael Hoag and he gave me some great advice. “When I made my official visit, I really liked it and now I’ll have the chance to play in the ACC and that’s a Power 5 conference.” He also considered Kentucky and Mississippi State. While it wasn’t important for Gilliam to stay close to home, it was a big factor in Snow’s decision. “I wanted to stay close to home so my family could see me play,” said Snow, who also had offers

His decision to play for the Buccaneers ended a long recruiting process. “It was nerve-racking because you have to sell yourself to coaches,” Snow said. Farragut soccer head coach Wallie Culbreth said Snow doesn’t have to sell himself or his skills. “I’ve played Ethan everywhere,” Culbreth said. “He’s a textbook player and a textbook leader. “As a soccer coach, I can’t call timeouts and Ethan is a coach on the field. ETSU doesn’t know what kind of player they’re getting and the schools that missed him don’t know what they’re missing. He will be the best soccer player ever at Farragut High School and I’ve had some great ones.” Snow also spoke highly of his high school coach. “He’s been a great leader and a great motivator for me,” Snow said of Culbreth. Snow will enroll in Johnson City as an undeclared major but said he plans on a business career.
