Mayor Bob Leonard Park’s 60by-84-foot playground is celebrating a 10th anniversary with town of Farragut announcing it’s time for renovation, which would include a new surface and all new slides, swings and possible other amusements. The type of new amusements chosen will be a matter involving public input, as Town leaders will host the first of two public forums starting at 5 p.m. tonight, Thursday, Feb. 27, in Town Hall boardroom. “We’d like to hear ideas. … We’d like to hear from the community about what they’d like to see,” Sue Stuhl, Farragut Parks and Leisure Services Director, said. “And that’s an important part of getting a grant, also.” While the Town has roughly $80,000 “in our Capital Investment Plan for next fiscal year” to cover such improve-
ments according to Stuhl, she added the Town hopes to spend just $40,000, seeking a “50-50 … Local Parks and Recreation Fund Grant” from state of Tennessee. While emphasizing the park’s playground currently is safe for children to use despite the planned renovation, Stuhl added, “We’re trying to be proactive in our renovation schedule here to make sure everything stays safe. … The surface is very distressed. It’s a pour-in-place, rubber surface.” “Most playgrounds are constructed to last around 10 years or so. … different pieces are starting to show their wear.” Two Farragut parents whose children were enjoying the playground Monday afternoon, Feb. 17, gave their thoughts. “Possibly add a big kid swing and redo the rest of it,” Jessica Kegley, with her son, Andrew, 3, said. “Overall, it’s a good place to be. I come, I’d say, twice a week.
He loves it here. It’s big and it’s open.” Diana Hundley accompanied her son, Parker, 2. “I think a splash pad would be great. He loves a splash pad,” Hundley said. “We come when the weather’s good, about once a week.” Both mothers said they’d be interested in possibly attending one of the forums, the second of which is 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 4, in Town Hall boardroom. In addition to appearing at Town Hall, parents and other residents can submit ideas online at: Facebook at Town of Farragut, Twitter at townoffarragut or parks@townoffarragut.org/ Deadline for comments in Saturday, March 15. For more information, contact Stuhl at sue.stuhl@townoffarragut.org or call 865-966-7057. While saying “there isn’t much room there,” Stuhl added, “We See PARK on Page 3A

After hearing from several business owners about the Town’s vehicular signage ordinance, Farragut Visual Resources Review Board voted unanimously to table action on any amendments to the ordinance until March. The vote came during its Monday, Feb. 24, meeting. Mark Shipley, interim community development director, said
the postponement would give his staff time to work on the ordinance’s wording and get recommendations from Farragut Business Alliance. Board member Cynthia Hollyfield said the Board wants to promote business in Farragut but also does not want the Town to look like a circus. At the same time, she said she wants the ordinance to be fair to all businesses. So, Board members said See SIGNS on Page 4A Tammy Cheek

Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce’s 2014 Breakfast Speaker Series begins the year with Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer speaking. The breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m., Tuesday, March 4, at Fox Den Country Club. “At each of our [breakfast] events, we give 15 percent [of ticket sales] to a charity of choice, and also we have a signed book for the speaker to give to Primrose School [of Farragut],” Bettye Sisco, FWKCC president and CEO, said. “ ... In addition, monies received for all the events help with our continuing education grants and chamber obligations.” “[Speakers are] chosen by a
request of membership, as well as current issues,” Sisco added. “We want to keep everybody current.” “[John Schroer] oversees the statewide transportation system ... and therefore that’s the reason he will be interesting,” she said. “... He’s certainly trying to make our roads more effective and more efficient.” The chamber tries to have about four Breakfast Speaker Series events per year, Sisco added. “What I’m doing is kind of going around the state and basically giving some updates on our budgets and where we stand as a state compared to other states financially [in terms of transportation],” Schroer said. “I’ll talk about projects that we’re working on in that area and See CHAMBER on Page 4A

Campbell Station Park name changed
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen agreed to change the name of Campbell Station Park to Founders Park at Campbell Station at its Thursday, Jan. 23, meeting at Town Hall. Town administrator David Smoak said the park was originally named in May 1998, when the Board named it Campbell Station Park because of the area’s history and the park’s beauty. Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche brought up the matter during the Board’s Thursday, Jan. 9, Board meeting, when she asked for the item to be added to the Jan. 23 Board agenda. The Parks and Athletics Council recommended the
change because of the heritage trail makers erected in 2013 and to “pay homage to the many founders that have made our community what it is today,” Smoak said Jan. 14. LaMarche’s motion was approved unanimously. “I guess it emphasizes the fact history is all around the park and the series of founders,” Mayor Ralph McGill said. Alderman Bob Markli said the change was appropriate. “I’m very proud of the fact that we followed through on my motion,” LaMarche said. “Now, we need to have a plaque placed in the park with the names of all the people who were involved in it and to probably change the sign at the entrance to the park. “The people who founded it need to be honored and remem-

bered. They worked very hard,” she added. Alderman Jeff Elliott said he is all in favor of the name change. “I think it’s a very appropriate way to recognize people who got the Town to where it is today,” he said. “We need to celebrate the folks who did that,” he added. “[The new name is] appropriate and it calls attention to the story that the Town didn’t just happen out of nowhere; it was the result of a lot of hard work from very dedicated people.” In other business, the Board voted to declare two GMS-2 GPS units to be surplus and to be auctioned off.

Snow day; worst day ■ ROBBY O’DANIEL
rodaniel@farragutpress.com
The snow that began Wednesday, Feb. 12, had an impact on local businesses in Farragut. Apple Cake Tea Room closed early at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, owner Mary Henry said. The tea room was closed Thursday, Feb. 13, and reopened Friday, Feb. 14. “We have people [employees] that come, that live in the Lenoir City and Loudon area, and ... if it snows so bad that it would jeopardize them coming into work, we don’t open at all,” Henry said concerning the restaurant’s inclimate weather policy. “... We don’t want to put anybody in harm’s way. And we’re a small business, a family-owned business, so we can kind of go by what would be best for us.” Henry added it is damaging to miss a day of business. “You don’t ever want to just close,” she said. Greg Carroll, owner and master barber of Farragut Mens Barber Shop, estimated the barber shop closed at around 3 p.m., Feb. 12. It also was closed all day Thursday, Feb. 13, before reopening Friday, Feb. 14. Carroll said he was still receiving customers on Feb. 12, even as weather reports called for snow. “Maybe a little bit below nor-
mal, but it was busier than I thought it would be up until it started really falling,” he said. Though the shop closed Feb. 13, he said Feb. 14 and Saturday, Feb. 15, were busy days. “[Regular customers] just waited until Friday and Saturday to come in because I was closed, or maybe they just didn’t get out,” he said. “... I was busier than normal on Friday and Saturday.” Repeats Galore owner Jill Jordan said her store stayed open Feb. 12 but closed Feb. 13. The store reopened Friday, Feb. 14. Jordan called Feb. 12 the “worst day of the month” that the store was open in terms of business. “Just the threat of the weather on its way was enough to keep people from venturing out,” she said. Debi Tuttle, owner of The Town Framery & Gifts, said her business closed at around 3 p.m., Feb. 12 and opened at around noon Feb. 13. But on Feb. 13, the store had just one guest, Tuttle said. The store was open its normal hours Feb. 14, she said. “We did have delays receiving framing supplies out of Atlanta because of the weather obviously, but we did not miss a deadline, and we’re very excited that things are back to normal this week,” she said.

lettertotheeditor Sign solution proposed I have a correct and simple solution to the sign controversy. The sign police should ban ALL signs in the Township. This includes signs on all businesses, real estate for sale or rent signs, all posters for yard sales, billboards, and all signs on all vehicles, including the Farragut vehicles, police cars, ambulances, fire engines, school buses, and mail or delivery vehicles. There should be NO signage of any kind in our Farragut community. There should be no “grandfather” of any present signs, and ALL present signs should be removed. This will encourage business to locate outside our pristine area. An additional proposal is to have the sign police stationed at
presstalk
every entrance to our Township, preventing any vehicle with a sign from entering. If a vehicle inadvertently does get into our Township, that vehicle and contents could be confiscated and sold at auction. Or perhaps a third proposal is to have any entity wishing to do business in our Township is to have that entity apply for a sign license, each costing perhaps $500 annually. Each sign would be limited to a height of 4 inches, and limited to door entrances or the driver door of a vehicle. NO signs should be affixed to any building. Again the sign police should check and fine any violation heavily. I also propose that ALL present lighted sign [sic] be eliminated because of their distrac-
tion at night, and the heat from lighted signs (and street lights) contributes to global warming. The signs on official vehicles can cause distraction to drivers. Any business with a window facing the public area should have that window “blacked” out so no one would be offended. This is beyond silly. In reality, I do think that our “leadership” has become top heavy. By eliminating some of the bureaucrats and their silly and burdensome regulations, businesses could thrive; perhaps more job openings would be opened. I really do appreciate the signs and see no harm in businesses doing all they can to attract customers. What is wrong with a sign? Thomas Adams Knoxville

Town hosts Black History event Sunday, Feb. 23 ■

were times I felt like quitting, but I would go and talk to him and he kept me going.” The lives of black leaders Bacon and Carl Alfred Cowan, a local legal legend from Concord who waged Civil Rights legal battles in Knox County, including ending segregation, and held groundbreaking positions of distinction, were highlighted and memorialized during the ceremony. During his dedication address before a packed boardroom, Hughie Moulden detailed Bacon’s accomplishments. After the speech, Bacon’s daughter, JoAnn Bacon, accepted a plaque for her father’s “distinguished service as a Army Veteran, community leader and steward of Concord AME Zion Church,” Mayor Ralph McGill said before presenting the plaque.
With Bacon’s widow, Pauline Bacon, also in attendance, Moulden closed with a question concerning Bacon’s recognition: “why not before?” “My mother and I are deeply honored to receive this plaque,” JoAnn Bacon said to the gathering. “… All of you who knew him knew that he was a very humble, gentle and kind man. He never expected any kind of accolades.” After the ceremony, JoAnn added, “I never remember my father raising his voice to us.” Growing up along what is now Loop Road in Farragut, Bacon was labeled “a great man who was an asset to all who knew him,” Moulden said. “At an early age he helped his father drive the school bus from Concord and other numerous spots to East Knoxville’s destination, Austin High School,” Moulden added. Nicknamed “Headquarters by
his male friends in the community,” Moulden added that Bacon “was a brilliant man, smart, well educated.” After retiring, “He took on more duties within the community,” Moulden said. “He helped widows and others take their garbage to the dump. “Limon was an overseer of getting men together to fellowship at different churches,” Moulden added. Limon died June 23, 2013, at age 84. Cowan, the namesake for Carl Cowan Park in Concord, was remembered during an address from Robert Booker, a Knoxville Civil Rights leader dating back to the 1960s who became the first black person to be elected to the state legislature from Knox County. Named Carl Cowan Park in 1946, “It was so important and
attractive” for black people in the 1940s and 50s because, unlike any other Knoxville or Knox County park, “We could come any day of the week and stay as long as we desired,” Booker said. The park “has been a source of pride for 68 years,” Booker added. As for Cowan, a recipient of national, regional and local awards, “On July 25, 1953, he became the first black to serve as assistant District Attorney General for Knox County,” Booker said. Cowan died May 5, 1985. He was 83. Among those recognized for Black History related work was Doris Owens, former director of Farragut Folklife Museum. Her efforts started the Town’s annual Black History Month ceremony in 1996.
ing business owners to park their vehicles anywhere they want on their property. FBA executive director Allison Sousa said the FBA has not taken a stand on the issue. ”We are optimistic we can come to some sort of resolution,” Sousa said. The Board will meet again at 7 p.m. Monday, March 24, in Town Hall. The business owners who
addressed the Board during its Monday, Feb. 24, meeting said they want to be able to park their vehicles in front of their businesses or near the road. John Elliott of Elliott’s Boots said his vehicle is a mobile shoe store and parks it close to the road because the vehicle is safer and because he can use it for marketing. “[The ordinance is] a big, ugly thing that needs a lot of definition,” Elliott said.

Giving most of the credit for 70 years of marriage and generally good health to their Christian faith, Dick and Mary Ruth Williams simply refuse to sleep on whatever marital problem arise. “We need to straighten things out before we go to bed,” Mary Ruth, 89, said one day after the Williams celebrated their 70th anniversary Thursday, Feb. 20, with a quiet day of “reminiscing” in their Village Green home of 49 years. First Baptist Concord played a roughly two-minute video to honor the church’s senior mar-
ried members during its morning worship service Sunday, Feb. 23. In that video, Mary Ruth said, “The first thing that attracted me was his looks. … But that’s not the most important thing. I looked for somebody that loved the Lord, because I said, ‘I need somebody to keep me on the road.’” On the video, Dick, 93, said about whatever marital problems arose, “We were able to overcome that because of our Christian principals. … I think that’s the real thing that’s held us together for these 70 years. … We’ve kept the faith.” Speaking at their Village Green home Feb. 21, “I think
the very reason why we’re existing is because we’ve been faithful to our church work and the Lord,” Dick said. “We’ve had a very happy married life. We just didn’t have divorce in our vocabulary. We never threatened each other with, ‘If you don’t quit doing something, we’ll just get divorced.’ “We’ve been willing to adjust. I tell everybody, ‘When you’re dating you see the best of each other, but when you get married you see the worst of each other. So there’s an adjusting time that has to take place,” Dick added. “And we’ve always been willSee WILLIAMS on Page 6A

About 150 senior citizens gathered to have their voices heard about what they would like done at the Frank R. Strang Senior Center during a Community’s First Words event at the center. Their responses ran from better marketing of the center to more parking and a new building. “Senior centers, like Strang, are an ideal place to find something to do,” George Hannye said. He added he would like to see the center, located at 109 Lovell Heights Road, advertised more. “I feel this center is a well-kept secret,” Kay Henson said, but added, “We would have more attendance but there would be no place to park.” Jim McEvers said he enjoys the programs but agreed there is not enough space to park. He also promoted allowing its users to bring firearms into the building. Alexander Dumas, who provides art classes at the center, said there is not enough room at the center and there is no way to display the paintings of his students.

Also, he said he would like World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans to be recognized as a group. Buz Monahan added the center’s budget was inadequate. “They run the place on a shoestring,” he said. While some audience members said they would like the center in a new building, one member, Virginia Shaw, said she thought the speakers’ comments were too ambiguous. She asked, “Are you

All squares are created equal January has 31 squares on the calend a r. A l l squares are created equal and we’re the ones who Pam make some s q u a r e s Young more speMake it cial than Fun! others. We tend to make that first square in January special because it can be kind of like the starting gate at a race or the start of a sports game. There’s such energy in “the beginning” of just about everything. But now that we’re in February, I’ve taken a new look at these February squares and I’ve decided I can keep that fresh start feeling going in February and, who knows, throughout 2014. All it takes is a little focus on the wonder of the ordinary. I remember watching an interview a few years ago on Oprah’s channel OWN. She interviewed Mark Nepo who wrote The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You
Want by Being Present to the Life You Have. One of his quotes was, “The key to knowing joy is being easily pleased.” I think that’s the key to living each square filled with energy and awe. Have you ever heard the term, easy date? I’m not talking about those girls who’ll “do it” on the first date, I mean a date who doesn’t take much to be pleased and appreciative. Let’s be easy dates! Let’s slow down enough in the course of each square and make sure we get every ounce of love and joy we can sop up before the next square comes. Mark Nepo reminded us to want less and love more of what we have now. He said, “Light is in both the broken bottle and the diamond.” and “God is under the porch and on the mountain top.” We are immersed in a miracle called life and as humans we can get buried temporarily in our problems and forget the truth, but if we can pause and breathe we give ourselves a chance to remember we are loved and life is awesome. Be easily pleased in the squares you have left; easily pleased starting with yourself and then your family, your friends, your country and your world. Start now to see
good more quickly than you see wrong, understand more quickly than you judge, relax more easily than you get upset and laugh more effortlessly than you complain. Every square can be January first if we practice being thankful for what we have, loving who we’re with, adoring who we are and spreading light by being kind to everyone we come in contact with. Have you ever noticed it’s easier to have happy squares when you get enough sleep? Let’s be selfish about getting the sleep we need. Let’s be firm about a bedtime that gives us the rest we need. We can’t start our squares with that fresh start feeling if we didn’t go to bed at the right time in the last square. All squares are created equal, but it’s totally up to us how we’ll get the most out of them.

Farragut Lions Club celebrates 40 years ■ ROBBY O’DANIEL
rodaniel@farragutpress.com
The Farragut Lions Club held its 40th anniversary celebration T h u r s d a y, Jan. 9, at Rothchild Catering & Conference Center. “Actually our anniversary was in December, Stephens but because of the holidays, we’re doing it now, and we will be talking about the last 40 years and looking forward to the future,” Kathy Burrow, treasurer of the Farragut Lions Club, said before the event began Jan. 9. Burrow called the club a “uniquely wonderful club.” “We’re very active and very busy,” she said. “... The Lions’ mis-
sion is to cure preventable blindness and to help with eyesight. We provide a lot of glasses, a lot of eye exams. We also do a KidSight program, which is a vision screening for children ages 1 through 5 in the private daycare centers. Our club, in order to do all that, we have to raise money. So we have to have fundraisers. ... This is not a fundraiser. This is a celebration. ... We have to have fundraisers, but our promise to ourselves is that, yeah, we have to raise money, but we’re going to have fun doing it. So we do. We have a good time.” For six years, Burrow has been a club member, she said. “I love it,” she said. “We’re busy, and we’re active. And as I mentioned, we’re friends, and we’re a really cohesive group and I really enjoy it. There’s a lot of work, a lot more work that could be done. We do a lot of work, and we have active members who really believe in what we’re doing.”
Fletcher Stephens, FLC president, said eye care is the club’s main focus. “People who are less fortunate than others and they need help with vision, they contact us,” Stephens said. “We get them in contact with a vision eye exam, and then if glasses are required, we make it available for them to get glasses at a minimal to no cost to them. We usually pay most of that. We also are involved in a diabetes program.” David Crawford, club secretary, said the club was originally called the Concord Lions Club. Crawford talked about the different ways the club is involved with vision work and sight. “We do KidSight,” Crawford said. “... And then we started a glucose screening program checking for diabetes, and then we have our eyeglass and exam purchasing program for indigent people who need our help.”

health is at least partially the result of no smoking and no alcohol consumption. “We never did night life,” Dick said. As for remaining active, “They’re still involved with their church,” Loy said. In addition to being a trusted and popular deacon at FBC, “I taught Sunday School co-ed class at our present location for 35 years, and I was in the choir for 65 years,” Dick said. Moving to Village Green at their current Nassau Drive home in 1965, “We were about the second house to build in Village Green when it was first developed,” Dick said. Optimistic about the future, “We’re looking forward now to our 75th,” Dick said.

Locals participate in National Catholic Schools Week ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
National Catholic Schools Week took place Sunday, Jan. 26 through Saturday, Feb. 1, and Catholic schools all over the country, including Knoxville Catholic High School and St. John Neumann Catholic School, participated and celebrated. Sister Mary Marta Abbott, the Diocese of Knoxville’s superintendent of Catholic schools, talked about the importance of Catholic schools. “In our Catholic schools, it’s great because we integrate throughout our day our faith, so we have the academics going on, but we have that faith piece throughout our day,” she said. At both Knoxville Catholic and SJN, snow days during the week changed schedules for Catholic Schools Week activities. Dickie Sompayrac, KCHS principal, said a number of activities happened at Knoxville Catholic when school was in session during the week, including dodgeball and trivia day. “It’s really a celebration of being in a Catholic school, what Catholic Schools Week is all
about,” Sompayrac said. “So we do want to gear to service – we want to always keep that a part of who we are and what we do – but really, from a student standpoint, it’s kind of a mini spirit week. We have a spirit week in the fall where kids do all kinds of decorating of the school and get real involved. Catholic Schools Week is kind of like a second-semester spirit week where we just get to celebrate the fact that we go to Catholic schools and the benefits that come with that.” Bill Derbyshire, SJN principal, said one event on Monday, Jan. 27 of the week was the Com-munity and Career Fair. “We had approximately 20 different professions come to school, and each of them were set up at a table in our gym,” Derbyshire said. “And each grade came down to the gym, and the students were free to walk around the gym and discuss with each one of those parents what their profession entailed and how they got into it, what they do and those type of things.” The professionals that came included lawyers and sales people, among others, he said.

Area churches serve as host churches or support the Family Promise of Knoxville program. “We are a shelter program for homeless families with children, and we operate with partnerships in the faith community,” Mary Thomson LeMense, Family Promise of Knoxville executive director, said. “At the Day Center, we have case management and try to meet all the needs and connect our families with the service that they need and find them sustainable housing, that’s the ultimate goal.” Those who are in the program spend the day at the Day Center, job searching, looking for housing and taking classes, and stay overnight at one of the churches involved in the program, she said. Families rotate weekly to different churches. “We work with 16 host churches and another 28 support churches,” she said. “... The host churches are the ones who actually house the families for a week at a time, so they turn their Sunday School classrooms into bedrooms for a week, and then they provide overnight hosts to stay with our families and dinner for the families and usually a big

breakfast on Saturday morning. ... They support churches ... come in and help provide meals and volunteers.” Some of the churches involved in the program include host churches Westside Unitarian Universalist Church, First Farragut United Methodist Church and Grassy Valley Baptist Church, along with support churches St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church and Grigsby Chapel United Methodist Church, she said. The average length of time an individual stays in the program is 70 days, she said. “We help the families to search for housing and take them through the different mazes of qualifications for particular types of housing, but they do the research for themselves and they make their own applications and they make their own decisions,” she said. “... Once we locate housing for a family, we help them move to their new apartment ... and we also help them furnish it. And then our program will follow that family for two years to try to
help smooth over any bumps in the road, so that they can make that housing sustainable.” There are two qualifications for participating in the program. “The qualifications for our program are merely that you be without a home and that you have children,” she said. Mary Isaac, Westside Unitarian Universalist Family Promise coordinator, said Westside hosts “every three to four months.” “We really don’t have a lot of special facilities at Westside for this, so we turn every room in the entire church into housing for the week,” Isaac said. Westside also has raised funds for Family Promise, Isaac said. “Westside has been a host congregation for almost three years,” Isaac said. The church provides hotcooked dinners during the week, as well as food for breakfast or packing a lunch, she said. Amanda Lynn Bratcher started with the program Oct. 28. She was homeless from July until See PROMISE on Page 9A

Jackson active, independent, loves her new life at Parkveiw ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
At age 78, Evelyn Jackson maintains an active and independent lifestyle while socially active in her hometown of Farragut. She’s plenty able to drive and take care of every basic need by herself. However, Jackson sold her Steeplechase subdivision home in late 2011 — a widow for five years — and fell in love with the community and conveniences found at Parkview, A Senior Living Community, in Farragut. “I am one of the younger ones here,” Jackson, a former homemaker and Town resident for “16 or 17 years,” said. At Parkview, where anyone at least 55 can reside, “You’ve always got somebody to eat with,” Jackson said. “You’ve got somebody to talk to. … A lot of nice people here. … It’s a home away from home.” “I like people and I like things going on,” she added. “… A lot of people living alone, they get depressed. They don’t know they are, but they are.” Living alone, Jackson said her daughters’ worry was the final straw prior to Parkview.

event, in which 36 students, as of the Friday, Jan. 31 interview, from SJN will donate hair for cancer patients, he said. Harrigan said the ponytail cutting event was rescheduled to Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 19. The school also has projects to benefit the Pregnancy Help Center, Derbyshire said. Children are decorating burp cloths to donate to the Pregnancy Help Center, Har-
“Donna called me one night from the San Francisco airport at 12:30 [a.m.] and I thought to myself, ‘That’s it. I will not worry you one more day,’” Jackson said. “Donna had a friend who had her mother-in-law here and said, ‘Her mother-in-law loves it,’” Jackson added. “… I decided, ‘Come and stay 30 days and see what happens.’” As for activities she enjoys, Jackson listed “bingo three times a week … a craft room, a theater upstairs. … And we have entertainment that brings a lot of people together. “I like to read and I like to watch good movies,” she added. Able to come and go as she pleases in her car, Jackson said she maintains social activities outside of Parkview, especially with her church. “I’m 10 minutes from my church, Farragut Presbyterian,” she said. “We have lots of stuff to do there. What this place doesn’t have to offer, [the church] does.” In generally good health with an outgoing personality, Jackson said the keys to maintaining vitality include “how you eat, what kind of hobbies you have and how you feel about what’s going on around you.” rigan said. “The entire school, all of our kids are asked to donate babyrelated supplies to go along with the burp cloths to the Pregnancy Help Center,” Harrigan said. Derbyshire described the baby bottle campaign. “Each student receives a baby bottle, and they are to fill it with some sort of monetary value that hopefully they earn through chores at home or something like that,” he said, “... and then turn it into the Pregnancy Help Center as a donation.”

less,” Bratcher said. Bratcher, who stayed in the program with her son, David Hinkle, said she learned from taking financial classes and nutrition classes as part of the program. “For the nutrition class, I’ve
learned to cut my servings down, and watch what I eat,” Bratcher said. “And as far as the financial classes, I have learned to budget my money more and watch what I spend.”
“I want to thank everyone in this room for what you have done for our great community,” he said. “Programs and events like this, of course, are just one way we can recognize everyone of you for your lifelong service.” He described the Strang Center
as the most active senior center in Knox County. He acknowledged Senior Services manager April Tomlin and Veterans Senior Services director Robert “Buzz” Buswell for their service to seniors.

Farragut Church of Christ helps Hope Central ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Farragut Church of Christ is one church that helps Hope Central regularly, and the church does so in a myriad of ways. Veta Sprinkle is Leadership Team chairman with Hope Central. “We are a ministry,” Sprinkle said. “We are a neighborhood ministry serving a 50-block area, which is bounded by Magnolia, Cherry, I-40 and Hall of Fame. And we have two goals: one is to be a neighbor as Jesus would be, and two is to be a place where people who love God can come and serve.” Sprinkle was one of the founders of Hope Central, she said. At the time of Hope Central’s founding in September 2010, Sprinkle was a member of Farragut Church of Christ. She said that 13 churches support Hope Central on a regular basis. Sprinkle said Farragut Church of Christ has helped Hope Central since the beginning. Middle schoolers, high schoolers, college students and adults from Farragut Church of Christ all volunteer once a week during the school year with Hope Central’s after-school program Kingdom Kids, said Jason Terry, youth minister at Farragut Church of Christ. Kingdom Kids involves neighborhood children going to the Hope Central house three days a week, Sprinkle said.
The first thing that happens when the volunteers from the church get to the after-school program is they help in Kingdom Kids children with their homework or worksheets that focus on concepts being taught at school, Terry said. “After they’re done with their homework, we spend some time talking about some Biblical principles,” he said. “... It really centers around teaching them things that are just basic Biblical concepts: that God loves you, that we need to try to be like God, that everyone is valuable. That we need to treat everyone with that value, we need to strive to show the same love for others that God shows for us, things like that. And once we’re finished with that is when we’ll have supper with the kids. And we’ll sit down and eat with them and talk about whatever they want to talk about, hear what’s going on with their families.” Women from the church prepare the food for the supper when Farragut Church of Christ volunteers, he said. “We’ve got a bunch of ladies here that every week they take turns cooking food for all of those kids,” he said. After supper is usually activities, which might include games outside or arts and crafts, Terry said. The church also is involved with the Knoxville Work Camp, which involves a number of area churches, he said. The Knoxville Work

Camp, which takes place one week during the summer, has existed for almost 20 years. “It’s made up of eight to 10 youth groups from the area and a couple from other areas that will come in,” he said. “... We spend the week doing all kinds of physical labor essentially just to serve other people.” During the camp the last two years, the church and other churches have helped with the
Hope Central building, as well as Hope Central’s neighborhood service area. A Christmas program, Present Hope, involves Farragut Church of Christ and other churches buying age- and gender-appropriate gifts for the children involved in Hope Central’s, he said, as well as other children in the Hope Central service area. At an event in which the children and their families are invit-
ed, family portraits are done free of charge; children eat snacks and do crafts and parents can purchase the gifts at 10 percent of the cost, Terry said. “The children who come to Present Hope also get the opportunity to select gifts for the adults who live in their home, and those gifts are free of charge,” he said. The church also provides monetary support to Hope Central each month, he said.

clothing and shoes,” Oberdecker said in a Wednesday, Jan. 8 interview. “... 5,468 children have been clothed by Wesley’s Attic since March 2008.” Donations mostly come from the First Farragut congregation, but a few area churches also donate what is left over from consignment sales that people did not wish to get back from the ministry, she said. The clothing and shoes are gently used, except for socks and underwear, which are purchased new from Wesley’s Attic funds, she said. “Each child gets three pairs of underwear and three pairs of socks,” Oberdecker said. “That is a cash purchase that we are always fundraising for.” Three major clothing distributions take place each year, usually in March, August and November, she said. For information on where and when
future clothing distributions are taking place, to donate or to report a need, call the church office at 865-966-8430. The next Wesley’s Attic clothing giveaway begins at 9 a.m., Saturday, April 5, at Central United Methodist Church in Lenoir City. “If they know of someone or they themselves are in a position where they are needing things,
they can call the church office, and we will try to help them as much as we can,” she said. “... If they call and tell the secretary that they have a need or know of somebody, she passes that on to me, and we make sure we fill it. ... They do have to come to the church to pick it up, but we fill it.”

Local TN State Bank turns 5 ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Tennessee State Bank’s Farragut branch, 1470 Parkside Drive, celebrated its fifth anniversary in January. “We are a full-service community bank, anything from checking accounts to loan needs for personal and business,” Robin Kurtz, marketing director with Tennessee State Bank, said. The Parkside Drive location, the bank’s Turkey Creek branch, will most likely have a celebration of the anniversary in early spring, Kurtz said. “We’ll probably do an afterhours event, inviting the community to come celebrate with us [in early spring],” she said. The event would include door prizes, food and giveaways, she said. Kurtz praised the bank branch’s manager, Stacy Connatser. “She has really gone
out, above and beyond, getting to know people in the community,” Kurtz said. Kurtz talked about the impact that the Parkside Drive business has had on the local community. “I think we’re able to bring a community bank essence [compared] to the bigger banks that are out there, help people with their lending needs,” Kurtz said. Kurtz described Tennessee State Bank as a whole. “We’re going into our 42nd year, and we are locally owned, headquartered in Pigeon Forge,” she said. “We have 15 locations in four counties, and Turkey Creek happened to be our last one that we built.” The four counties where the bank has locations also include Jefferson, Sevier and Cocke, she said. Tennessee State Bank as a whole is doing very well, she said. “It was tough for everybody, all of the banks, but we were able to pull through when the recession
happened, and everything is bouncing back now,” she said. “People are wanting to get loans, and we have money to lend.” Tennessee State Bank began in 1972, Kurtz said. The customer service and the products make the business stand out, she said. “If you want an efficient, customer friendly bank, you need to go to Tennessee State Bank,” she said. Kurtz identified what makes the bank efficient. “I just think they’ve [the employees] been doing it for so many years that they’ve streamlined their processes,” she said. “They’ve [the bank] brought in new technology. We’re keeping up with the bigger banks, with the mobile phone banking, the text banking. We have a Facebook page, but then when you look at the people when you walk into the actual branch, it’s still, those people are here to service those customers one-on-one.”

Jan Barnett, director of marketing with The Egg & I Restaurants, likened the restaurants to “the Cheers of breakfast.” “We get to know our guests,” she said. “Serving our friends daily is our brand promise, and that’s something that we do really pride ourselves on. ... And typically if you’re eating breakfast outside the home, you’re going to the same place every day or almost every weekend, so we should get to know you.” The Egg & I is slated to open Monday, March 24, at The Shops at Lovell Place near Costco. “We were founded in 1987 in Fort Collins, Colo.,” she said. “We are a breakfast and lunch concept, opening at 6 [a.m.] Monday through Friday and closing at 2 [p.m.]. On weekends, we open at 7 [a.m.], and we close at 2:30 [p.m.].” Also offered include pancakes and waffles, she said. “We’re known for our whole wheat, large pancake. It’s 10 inches in diameter, fills the plate.” But the restaurant’s specialty is eggs, she said. The restaurant boasts of more than 41 different egg dishes. Breakfast is always served at the restaurant, as is lunch, with the exception of the homemade soups, she said. Soups are not available until after 10 a.m. “Lunch, we have entrée salads and specialty sandwiches all prepared to order, and we also have homemade, from-scratch soups, a different one every day,” she said. “... We’ve got the soup and salad combos too, so you can mix and match.”
Lighthouse Coffee in Renaissance I to open March 4
■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Lighthouse Coffee, located at the former Webster’s Deli at Renaissance | Farragut off Kingston Pike, is set to open Tuesday, March 4. The location changed ownership effective Monday, Jan. 6, with Debra Sparks becoming the new owner. “We purchased Webster’s Deli because we wanted a location,” Sparks said. “So then now we’re just completely remodeling it, changing the name and bringing our own brand to it.” Sparks estimated the drinks offered at Lighthouse Coffee “80percent espresso-based drinks and 20-percent tea.” Starting most likely in the spring or summer, the business will offer smoothies, she said. As for its coffee, “We’re also going to have a local roaster [Josh Steedley], who is a friend of ours ... but 98 percent, 99 percent of our coffee will be Land of a Thousand Hills,” she said. “For breakfast, we’ll have
bagels, fresh-baked muffins, cookies, yogurt parfaits with fruit on them and then breakfast sandwiches,” she added. The lunch menu would have four sandwiches, Sparks said. “I’ve been asking existing customers of their favorites at Webster’s to see if I could incorporate that in, and the prime rib sandwich, everybody seems to love, and the chicken salad, so we’re going to keep that on the menu. And then we’ll add a vegetarian, a very healthy vegetarian, and a turkey.” The name Lighthouse Coffee has many meanings for Sparks. “... First of all, I grew up on an island and lived five miles from a lighthouse. So that’s kind of how I grew up was around a lighthouse, and it just always kind of inspired me ...,” she said. “And then just knowing the Lord in my life and feeling that he is my guiding light and always kind of steering us away from the stormy seas and calling us back into him. So there’s a guiding light is what Lighthouse is going to be about,” Sparks added.

Debra Sparks is owner of Lighthouse Coffee, set to open March 4 at the former Webster’s Deli at Renaissance | Farragut.
Lighthouse Coffee is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. six days a week, excluding Sundays, she said. In

Lady Ads escape, earn substate Maryville ends Lady Bulldogs’ season, 48-31

Alan Sloan
Madison Maples, Farragut senior wing, looks to make a quick pass despite defense from Heritage post Maddie Sutton. The Lady Admirals won 40-37 in a Region 2-AAA semifinal at FHS Monday evening, Feb. 24.
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Pushed to the brink of season-ending elimination by a poised Heritage team and its loud fans, No. 6 state-ranked Farragut blew a 10-point third quarter lead and were sinking fast. Down 37-33 after two free throws from Lady Mountaineer Jordan Johnson with 2:47 to play, the FHS trio of Sue Yun-Kim, Madyson Newby and Lady Admirals 40 Miranda Burt came Lady Mountaineers 37 to the rescue in dramatic fashion. Two huge offensive rebound baskets by Newby, senior post, provided Farragut its final two field goals. Two equally huge steals from Yun-Kim, junior point guard, came in the game’s final 15 seconds to give the Lady Ads a 40-37 nailbiting win in Region 2-AAA semifinal action in FHS’s Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium. “Every game, somebody different steps up. Sue played huge down the stretch, Newby played huge. Burt has a huge rebound,” said FHS head coach Jason Mayfield, whose team improved to 27-2 and faced Maryville in the region title game Wednesday, Feb. 26, at FHS (played after deadline). Heritage ends its season 25-8. The Lady Red Rebels beat Bearden 48-31 in the other semifinal at Farragut Monday. (More on this game later in story) With the Lady Ads down four late, Newby rebounded a driving Burt shot and stuck it back in the hoop, also drawing a foul shot. “We just had to calm down because we were still in it. There was time left,” Newby, who scored a team-high eight points, said.
Burt, a sophomore wing, returned the rebound favor, gathering in Newby’s missed free throw before earning two free throws of her own. Burt nailed both, tying the game at 37 with 2:25 showing. After Johnson’s driving shot misfired out of bounds, the Lady Ads let the air out of the ball, stalling until senior wing Madison Maples missed a three-point corner jumper with 20 seconds left. But Newby gobbled up the rebound and put Farragut up 39-37 with her layup at the 17-second mark. A couple of seconds later, Yun-Kim stole a Heritage pass and, with 11.8 seconds remaining, hit one free throw. It was 40-37. The Lady Mountaineers tried to set up a game-tying three-pointer from the top of the key, but Yun-Kim read the pass, interLady Red Rebels 48 cepted and raced downcourt as time Lady Bulldogs 31 ran out. “Two of our defenders trapped the girl who had the ball, and I just saw her look over there and I just sprinted as fast as I could,” said Yun-Kim, who scored four. Maples and Rebecca Jameson, senior post, scored seven apiece for FHS. Burt added six, while Anna Woodford and Kristen Freeman each had four. Heritage forward Bethany Massey and HHS guard Leah Thomas each scored 11. A Lady Bulldogs run cut a 24-11 Maryville lead to 26-23 early in the third quarter. But Bearden (25-8) suffered an extended scoring drought as the Lady Red Rebels (256) build a 35-23 lead after three quarters and were never threatened again. Erin Walsh, BHS senior wing, scored a team-high 14. Madison Coulter’s 24 led Maryville.
Frosh rallies No. 7 ’Cats from FHS zone; Dawgs, HVA fall ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutpress.com
OAK RIDGE — While all four District 4-AAA boys basketball teams got wiped out in Region 2AAA quarterfinals Saturday, Farragut put up the best fight. In fact, the No. 4-seeded Admirals managed to build a 2825 halftime lead at mighty No. 7 state-ranked Oak Ridge (28-6), District 3-AAA champs, thanks largely to a stout 1-3-1-zone defense. Wildcats 59 Though t h e Admirals 48 Wildcats’ ability to use their quickness and penetrate to the basket was limited, a freshman sharpshooter made all the difference Feb 22. Oak Ridge freshman wing DeAndre Gibson came off the bench and nailed four threepoint baskets in the third quarter, two during a game-changing 15-second period, as ORHS took control, 45-38, late in the third and cruised to a 59-48 victory. “We made some threes, and obviously we played great defense. And one key was not letting anybody drive,” Brian Park, FHS senior point guard who scored nine points, said. As for Gibson, “He was at the volleyball line hitting some crazy threes,” Park added.
Star senior guard Jaylin Henderson led Oak Ridge with a game-high 23 points. “Probably the best effort we gave on both ends all year. They stuck to the gameplan,” FHS head coach Chris Cool said. About his team’s 1-3-1 zone, he added, “I don’t think they really figured it out in the whole first half. … We had them on the ropes a majority of the game. In the second half we made a couple of silly turnovers against the press, and they brought [Gibson] in.” Admirals senior All-District post Billy Williams scored a team-high 15 points. Williams failed to convert a field goal in the second half (6-of-6 free throws). Cameron Turner, Ads senior guard, scored 10. Ty Allen, junior wing, finished with eight. FHS ended the season 11-18 on the court, but officially was 11-17 because Hardin Valley Academy had to vacate all of its November and December wins due to using, unknowingly, an ineligible player according to George Ashe, Hawks athletic director. A mistake of counting “passed classes” instead of “necessary credits,” which was six, from Spring 2013 semester was discovered by a Hawks coach Tuesday, Feb. 18. It was turned in that day to TSSAA, which ruled HVA still eligible for the District 4-AAA
tourney title, Ashe said. Hardin Valley lost 70-56 versus rival Karns Saturday in another Region 2Beavers 70 AAA quarHawks 56 terfinal despite 26 points from senior post Zak Carter. Ending 7-3 in district instead of 11-3, HVA’s 19-11 overall record drops to 11-11. Despite 14 points from post Sam Phillips and 12 from post Jason Smith, Bearden (22-10) fell at Halls 82-66 Saturday. Senior g u a r d Red Devils 82 J a c k Graham Bulldogs 66 ended his BHS career with 1,004 points, scoring seven Saturday. Citing a slick playing surface, “They were the better ice hockey team,” said Mark Blevins, BHS head coach who picked up his 800th career win (32 years) during the District 4-AAA Tournament.
