Record crowd turns out for annual FWK Chamber auction ■ HEATHER BECK
hbeck@farragutpress.com
A record crowd helped Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce celebrate its 25th anniversary at the Chamber’s annual auction and dinner Friday night, April 20. More than 250 businesses were represented at the annual fundraiser, which raises funds not only for the Chamber’s
events and for continuing education grants for Chamber members in good standing, but also for a charity. This year, a portion of the event proceeds will go to Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding. “We thank you so very much,” Chamber president and CEO Bettye Sisco told event-goers Friday night. “Thank you for what you do for us to
help us grow,” she added. Fundraising numbers weren’t available by press deadline. Chamber board of directors chairman Tim Williams said, “I am sometimes asked, ‘What makes this Chamber as strong and as vibrant as it is?’ Well, the answer is the passion, the spirit and the support.” “Look what it’s done tonight,” he added. The silent and live auction, plus dinner,
was themed “Puttin’ on the Ritz” and was held at Rothchild Catering & Conference Center. Tables were decorated on themes of each of the past 25 years. Silent and live auction items included things as varied as a set of tires, paintings and artwork, jewelry, spa packages, design consultations and restaurant gift certifiSee CHAMBER on Page 3A
Remembering Brooke FHS soccer family pays homage to team manager
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Brooke Culbreth undoubtedly would be proud of her little nephew, 10-month-old Casen Brooks Culbreth. Someday soon, Casen will learn to be proud of his late aunt. About Brooke, a popular and beloved former team manager with Farragut High School boys soccer team while a student at FHS in the early to mid-2000s, “Quite honestly, she always made us just feel better for being out there on the field,” said Dustin Crouse, a Class of 2003 player. “If you were down in the dumps about a bad game or a bad practice, or coach is on your rear end for something, she was always there with a bright smile and a friendly word for us. And she’s telling us jokes.” Crouse was among dozens of former Farragut High School alumni soccer players who paid tribute to Brooke’s memory during Sixth Annual Brooke Culbreth Memorial Alumni Games, Odd versus Even graduating years, at Farragut Soccer Complex Saturday afternoon, April 21. “Actually, I kinda grew up with Brooke,” said Josh Riner, Class of 2008 player. “We had a lot of good times together. She was a great girl. Brooke was just the sweetest girl, the nicest girl.” “I went to the prom with her my freshman year” during

Brooke’s junior year, Riner added. “We used to cut up all the time about our older brothers. “She was a good friend. I loved her.” Wallie Culbreth, Brooke’s father and FHS boys soccer varsity head coach, said he was
impressed with Saturday’s turnout. “You look on the hill and I see my current players, and I look out here and I see 10 years of my players [2002-2011],” he said. See BROOKE on Page 3A
‘Decorative lighting’ planned for Concord Road
■
HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com
Decorative streetlights are on the list for Farragut’s 2013 capital investment plan — but this time along Concord Road, not Campbell Station Road. “We’re looking to try to avoid the same mistake we made before,” assistant Town administrator Gary Palmer told Farragut Municipal Planning Commissioners during their meeting Thursday, April 19.
The Town is proposing to budget $400,000 to place decorative streetlights along Concord Road, to be installed while TDOT is widening the street from Turkey Creek Road to Northshore Drive, which is expected to begin in 2013. The widened road is set to be five lanes — including the center turn lane — with medians, bike lanes, a sidewalk and a walking trail. Palmer said the Town would need to have the funds in place if it hoped to have TDOT place dec-
orative lights during the work project, rather than after. “We have to have this money in place before they let the project,” he said. Farragut recently endured harsh citizen criticism for attempting to spend more than $500,000 to replace streetlights along Camp-bell Station with decorative fixtures. Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen eventually tabled that project See CIP on Page 6A

Pointing out that Knox County property taxes “haven’t changed since 1990,” Karen Carson said it’s time to bite the bullet for children’s long-term public education. “In order to take the giant steps forward that we need to for our kids, we need to take a step forward in funding,” said Carson, recently elected 5th District Knox County Board of Education representative who formally announced the School Board’s recent passage of Knox County Schools’ Key Educational Investment Proposal, fiscal years 2013-2017. The proposal, costing an additional $35 million per year — on top of a built-in 12.5 percent education increase for FY 2013 — and subject to approval from Knox County Commission, was discussed during Carson’s keynote address during the Farragut High School Parent Connection meeting Thursday, April 12, at Crú Bistro & Wine Bar. “The areas that we’re going to
focus on are technology, performance pay, instructional time,” Carson said. FHS principal Michael Reynolds declared the proposal “a huge leap of faith for Knox County at any point in time,” but much more so “in economic hard times.” “The education system drives the economy,” Reynolds added. “People are not willing to go to a place where you do not have strong education.” Moreover, “If you want your property values to drop overnight, let the educational system falter,” Reynolds said. Reynolds also announced that FHS Education Foundation “drafted a proposal to support this, which I think is incredible and admirable on their part, no pun intended.” Speaking about the proposal last month, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, who expressed a level of skepticism about the proposal but said he still wanted to learn more, said it would take roughly a 35-cent property tax increase to pay the $35 million See CONNECTION on Page 5A

cates, among other items. The night also included an appearance by popular auctioneer Bear Stephenson, an honorary Chamber member. “Puttin’ on the Ritz” event chairs were Michelle Carr and Diane Jones of Pinnacle Financial, plus Sisco. Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce was founded by the Town of Farragut in 1982 and had 139 charter members.

At Farragut Municipal Planning Commission’s meeting in March, NHC Place representatives asked for relief from a sidewalk requirement triggered by a planned expansion to the facility. “These days, cost is everything,” NHC spokesman Tom Campbell said. The expansion, which would add a roughly 3,000-square-foot therapy center to NHC’s facility
near Sugarwood subdivision, is a small one, Campbell said. Being forced to build pedestrian facilities — which would include a sidewalk along Sugarwood Drive, a connector from that sidewalk to NHC and another connector from an existing walking trail to an existing sidewalk that fronts Kingston Pike — would have “a significant impact on our budget,” Campbell said. “If this were a larger project, you wouldn’t be hearing from us,” he added.
In addition, sidewalk connections to NHC from the neighboring subdivision could create a security concern for residents. “Our concern is that some of our residents might wander off,” Campbell said. Having sidewalks that currently only go through main entrances of NHC lessens the likelihood of residents wandering — but having sidewalks in the rear of the property could be dangerous, increasing the likeliSee NHC on Page 5A
According to Sisco, 28 of those charter members are still members of Farragut West Knox Chamber. “And that is pretty fabulous,” she said. Sisco joined the Chamber in 2001, and she estimates the Chamber has more than 675 members today.

She was only 18. Proceeds will go toward finishing FHS Soccer Stadium’s concession stand. That building will be dedicated in Brooke’s honor according to Underwood, a program booster and friend of Brooke’s whose idea for an annual Brooke Memorial game first became a reality in 2007.

guestview: public input wanted As you may be aware, the town of Farragut is working in 2012 to update our Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Just what is a Comprehensive Land Use Plan? It is a look into the future to see Ralph where growth McGill and development Farragut are likely to Mayor occur so that the Town can make the best decisions regarding planning and infrastructure. Along with input from the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Municipal Planning
Commission, staff and volunteer committees, we need YOUR input — the citizens — regarding your own vision and priorities for the Town’s future. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan is essential in many ways, because it will help in: • Determining how the Town grows, which has an impact on how much it costs to serve that growth without leaving a financial burden on future generations. • Maintaining the Town as a wonderful place to live and work as we grow. • Generating public support so that elected officials (both present and in the future) can follow a Land Use Plan with confidence that citizens are onboard. • Ensuring predictability so that
presstalk • Why are our worst drivers also the rudest? I was trying to make a left hand turn off Watt Road onto Kingston Pike when a black Ford Edge tried to pass me in the turn and then proceeded to pass me down the street and shoot me “the bird.” Similarly, in Turkey Creek at the Pinnacle not too long ago, a car ran the three way stop sign and proceeded to shoot the bird as I raised my hand to question why he was doing it. Again, the worst drivers [are] also the rudest. • Is there a reason the Farragut meeting agendas are no longer published in the farragutpress? I sure hope it’s not retribution for defending the First Amendment from the Board [of Mayor and Aldermen]’s interference. Thank you. Editor’s Note: Farragut meeting agendas are published in farragutpress and have appeared non-stop for several decades. • Via e-mail: Thank you so much for your great coverage of the track team at Farragut High School. We really appreciate it. • Via e-mail: I am curious as to why there are two different “school zones” on Campbell
businesses will know what future development might occur near their investment. We are offering three opportunities on Tuesday, May 8, at the Farragut Town Hall for you to share your input on Farragut’s future: • Citizen Academy, 8:30 a.m. – To discuss a downtown district and redevelopment for Farragut (live 3D visualizations will be done during this session). • Citizen Academy, 1:30 p.m. – To discuss Farragut’s historic resources. • Community Dialogue, 6 p.m. – To discuss the Land Use Plan process as a whole. An important element of this meeting is that every attendee will have an equal chance to
share his or her input anonymously on a variety of questions through individual electronic keypads. In the words of Yogi Berra, “You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.” I encourage you to be an active participant in both the present and future of your Town by getting involved in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan process. You can also give your input and stay up-to-date on the process at www.farragut2025.com. On behalf of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, I thank you in advance for your support of our great Town.

presstalk@farragutpress.com Station and yet none at all on Kingston Pike. It would seem that there is the same risk from fast moving traffic to students crossing (or walking along) Kingston Pike in Farragut as there is in Knoxville at the Bearden Elementary School where there is a posted “school zone.” Editor’s Note: According to Mark Nagi with TDOT, in 1976, TDOT had a request to sign the section of Kingston Pike near Farragut High School for a school zone speed limit. The Regional Traffic Office found correspondence from 1979 that flashing beacons were to be installed by Knox County for the “new” Farragut High School along Kingston Pike, but Farragut incorporated in 1980. Now, the flashing beacons on Campbell Station Road are set up as the primary school zone for the Farragut schools, with direct access to the facilities. Flashing beacon control is not present on Kingston Pike for several reasons: the schools are significantly set back from Kingston Pike, the schools access a side road and not directly onto Kingston Pike, and lastly, since there are multiple signalized intersections
in proximity to the schools’ access along the Pike, there are sufficient locations for pedestrians, bikes and left-turning vehicles to cross safely. First Baptist Concord does not have school speed limit signals because the school is private, and TDOT cannot install school zone flashing beacons for them. FBC could request permission to install them at their cost and sign an agreement to maintain them, a request that also would have to be approved by Farragut officials. • Via e-mail: Do Knox County “Dirty Lot” ordinances (O-91-3102 and O-98-11-101) apply to property within the confines of the town of Farragut? If not, are there comparable ordinances for property within Farragut, and which activity is responsible for their enforcement? Editor’s Note: The short answer is yes. Compliance is overseen by town of Farragut Code Enforcement Division. • Via e-mail: Vietnam plans to ban pseudonyms and crack down on bloggers. Imagine it being illegal to post anything online without using your real name. For Internet users in Vietnam, that could be reality
in about six weeks. Last week, the Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications announced a draft decree of sweeping Internet restrictions. The decree would “criminalize any [online] expression of dissident views. Vietnam is already one of 12 countries labeled an “Enemy of the Internet.” Perhaps the Republic of Farragut will be 13. • Via e-mail: Regarding complaints suggesting misconduct by Farragut officials. Our state legislature has provided a means to address any such legitimate situations, it’s T.C.A. 39-16-402 Official Misconduct, where conviction is a felony. Personally, I found that bringing this statute to the attention of an overzealous zoning official was very beneficial to get them to recognize the potential impact of their over reaching. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities. With that in mind, the farragutpress has developed policies that will be followed regarding the publication of presstalk comments: • Libelous comments will not be published. • Malicious comments will not be published. • Comments will remain
anonymous. • Recorded comments will be limited to 30 seconds. • Written comments should be limited to about 100 words. • Names of individuals or businesses mentioned in the call may not be published (including public figures and officials) depending on the issue. • Comments mentioning names of public figures, not issue related, will be published as a “Letter to the Editor” and must be signed. • farragutpress reserves the right not to publish any comment for any reason. • Because of space limitations, not every comment will be published. Also, portions of the 30-second message and written comments with more than 100 words may be omitted, but the basic message of the call or email will remain intact. • Vulgar language will not be printed. That’s it. The forum is open for comments regarding anything you have on your mind — local politics, world affairs, sports, religion, community affairs, city-county unification or anything else.

annually. Carson said the additional $35 million would raise Knox County’s per student/per year spending “$1,000 to $1,500.” Knox County’s spending per student ($7,453), Carson said, is lower than city school systems in Oak Ridge ($10,998), Maryville ($8,400), Alcoa ($9,679) and Greeneville ($8,799). Statewide among the “big four” municipalities, Carson said Shelby County’s is $8,151. After the meeting, Carson e-mailed information stating Hamilton County’s spending per pupil is $9,398. However, Carson listed a much lower per student amount in her district. Among elementary schools, Farragut Primary, $4,300; Farragut Intermediate, $3,900; Bluegrass, $4,200, and A.L. Lotts, $4,300. That’s opposed to Sarah Moore Green Elementary’s $7,500 per
student. Among middle schools, both Farragut Middle and West Valley each are $4,400. That’s versus Vine Middle at $9,000. Among high schools, FHS is $4,993; Hardin Valley Academy is $4.079; Bearden is $4,500. On the other hand, AustinEast is $10,000. “I want to see Farragut and Bearden the last five years; are our numbers going up?” Carson said, adding that, for example, FHS cannot offer an “ACT prep course” that is offered at West High School. While Carson said she understands and “supports” more dollars and resources going to schools in less affluent communities, “I also believe you reach a saturation point,” she added. Breaking down the annual $35 million: • $8.6 million to capital improvements • $7.2 million toward providing “each student with a robust technology device” • $5.4 million toward expand-
ed performance pay for teachers as incentive to improve on Knox County’s rank of No. 37 in Tennessee in average teacher salary • $4.6 million to provide students with “more time exposed [to] high quality learning” • $4.6 million to provide teachers “more resources and supports” such as “lead teachers” and “instructional coaches” • $1.5 million for “interventions for struggling students” and “enrichment opportunities for excelling students” • $1.4 additional “portfolio” support of magnet schools • $1 million to help make each county school “the center of the community” • a proposal for “full day kindergarten,” listed as “largely budget neutral,” would end up providing “more than 300 additional hours of instruction per child.”

hood that residents wander as well as the likelihood that strangers enter the facility unbeknownst to staff. Mayor Ralph McGill, a Sugarwood resident, said he didn’t see the reason for the pedestrian connections himself. “Sugarwood has no sidewalk,” he said. “I don’t get it.” Community development director Ruth Hawk said the pedestrian connections were mandated by ordinance and it was not up to FMPC members to grant variances. Variances must be granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Campbell asked if the FMPC could make a recommendation to the BZA. “It would not be appropriate,” Hawk said. Alderman Ron Honken moved to approve the site plan for NHC’s
expansion — along with the required pedestrian connections — and Ed St. Clair seconded. The motion was unanimously approved. Planning commissioners also unanimously approved new building façade requirements, which state a building cannot be constructed of more than 15 percent metal, metal composites and/or aluminum. Metal roofs and metal window frames aren’t included in the calculations. Hawk said this is the first, small step in Farragut adopting more aesthetic design standards for buildings. This particular requirement was in reaction to Costco’s building, which will be metal. In other business, FMPC: • Approved, on annual review, the concept plan for The Cottages at Pryse Farm, which is under new ownership • Approved a subdivision plat for NHC Place to move an interior property line.

Briggs: Voters should decide whether to close Charter residency loophole
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Knox County Commissioner Richard Briggs said he wants to give voters a chance to close a residency loophole in the Knox County Charter, one that allowed a candidate to run for office seeking to represent Farragut schools though she didn’t live in District 5. Currently, Charter language requires a candidate for elected office to live in the district where they seek elected office for one year prior to running. “But, on years where they have a Census, or a year where there’s redistricting just like we went through … the way the Charter reads now is that you can live anywhere in the county and run in any district,” said Briggs, 5th District commissioner and member of Knox County Charter Review Committee considering referendum items to place on August and November ballots. “I think that needs to be changed.” For example, “Elaine Davis,

with the option of picking it up again at a later date. “It’s a key entrance to our Town. But it’s hard to do after the face, as we have seen, and it’s more expensive. But while they’re out there digging the holes, why not?” Palmer said. Palmer said the $400,000 the Town has budgeted for the Concord Road project was “hopefully overestimated.” TDOT is planning a public meeting regarding the Concord Road widening from 5 to 7 p.m., Thursday, May 31. FMPC members approved the CIP as it was presented, adding a request that funding for a
that ran against Karen Carson” in the 5th District (Farragut area) School Board race, “she did not live in the 5th District,” Briggs said. This was allowed because “this was the first election after redistricting on the basis of the Census,” Briggs added. Briggs said the current Charter allowance is intended to fight “political gerrymandering” to change district lines and that a candidate “was drawn out of the district.” Which gets back to Carson, former 4th District (Bearden area) representative whose district was redrawn to 5th District to include all Farragut schools plus Blue Grass and A.L. Lotts elementary schools. “She should be able to run again for one election, even though she didn’t live in the district for that first election after the Census,” Briggs said. “You should either have to live in the district or you have to have represented that district in the previous election.”

Cinco de Mayo Meksiko Cantina to host three-day Cinco de Mayo festival
■
HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com
Meksiko Cantina owners Mario, Claudia and Jorge Navarro are hosting a three-day Cinco de Mayo festival at the West End Avenue restaurant — and everyone is invited. “Last year it was busy, very, very busy on just the one day, Thursday. So we thought that this year we would do the whole weekend up to Cinco de Mayo. We’ll have something special every day, and food and drink,” Mario said. “The big focus we have is what people told us last year that it was the best party in Farragut,” he added. The festival will kick off Thursday, May 3, with a live mariachi band, salsa dance contest and music by DJ Waldo. Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce also will have an
evening networking at the restaurant beginning at 5 p.m. “The mariachi band is traditional folklore songs for the Hispanic community and that’s an opportunity for people to know more about Hispanic traditions, and that’s the idea for Thursday,” Mario said. Mario said he hoped the Cinco de Mayo festival would help the restaurant and bring more attention to the West End Center. “And we wanted to spread the days out so people can pick the best day for them,” Mario said. “And every day we’ll have events.” Friday, May 4, live music will be provided by The Southern Drawl from 7 to 10 p.m., plus entertainment by DJ Waldo. Saturday, May 5, entertainers include Brewsters Millions from 5 to 9:30 p.m. and The Royal Hounds from 10 p.m. to close,

Garfield said. Getting2Great encourages Tennova’s associates and physicians to be servant leaders and to act with high integrity. “It’s not what we do; it’s who we are,” Garfield said. A former patient’s wife congratulated Turkey Creek Medical Center’s staff on their attitudes. Linda Bowden said she spent many hours at the hospital with her terminally ill husband, Bill. “When you go into a hospital with someone as sick as Bill, it’s scary. The smiles and the words you said meant so much to us. You nurses don’t know how much your words can make a difference,” she said.
“I left this hospital without Bill, but I left with a family. “You all need to be proud of this hospital and of what you do,” she added. The hospital held a cookout for associates on the grounds of the hospital, even hosting “corn hole” tournaments and a dunking booth while associates and Bowden gave testimonials regarding the hospital’s recent changes and improvements and the employees’ positive attitudes. Turkey Creek Medical Center CEO Lance Jones said, “Never underestimate your impact on people’s lives.” “We have so many great things going on at our hospital we shouldn’t keep it a secret,” he added.

Farragut High School’s lacrosse club scored early and often in a key 15-7 road victory over Webb Wednesday, April 18. The Admirals set the tone early with four goals in the first quarter. From there, Farragut, which opened a 4-1 lead by first quarter’s end, would dominate the game. “We don’t have many rivals in Knoxville but this is one of the big ones,” said Ryan Noland, who paced the Admirals’ potent attack against the Spartans. “It’s nice to come out here and show who’s boss in Knoxville. “It’s nice to come out and score early because it really sets the tone.” Farragut doubled its offensive output and opened an 8-3 lead by halftime. And the Admirals’ attack Admirals 15 was especially balSpartans 7 anced in the opening 24 minutes. Tyler Poage and Logan Lambert each scored two goals before the break while Noland, Gus Green, Drew Wassenaar and Galen Williams each buried the ball behind Spartans senior goalie Alex Bosse once. “This was a big win and great team win for us,” Farragut coach Mike Sommi said. “We did pretty well in unsettled situations and our midfielders really picked up the slack and made things happen.” The second half was more of the same as Webb never quite seemed to sustain much consistent offensive pressure. “Farragut played very well

Farragut High School soccer head coach Wallie Culbreth knows that when his Admirals tangle with Bearden that all the records are meaningless. “It doesn’t matter if one team is 16-0 and the other team is 016, this is the kind of game you’re going to get,” Culbreth said after Admirals 1 Farragut outlasted Bulldogs 0 the Bulldogs 1-0 in a District 4-AAA match Friday night, April 20, before a packed house at Farragut Stadium. “[Bearden] coach [Eric] Turner and I and our teams have dominated soccer in Tennessee for seven of the last nine years. “Bearden is the best team we’ve faced all year. We’ve played some great teams but not a team as good as Bearden.” Early on, the two defenses dominated the action and senior goalkeepers Brad Timmis of the
Ads and Logan Dodson of Bearden made the necessary saves to keep the match scoreless. The Admirals (10-1-2 overall, 4-0-1 in district after the win) finally broke the deadlock when Marvin Mendy took the ball the length of the field and chipped the ball past Dodson late in the opening half. “This was good,” said Mendy, who scored the breakaway goal in the 33rd minute. “It was good to get that goal but I can’t really describe how it feels. “It’s great to come out and beat Bearden and that was really tough, but it felt great.” It had to feel especially good for Mendy, who finished a breakaway opportunity for the first time. The goal was huge because it gave the Ads a critical win over the Bulldogs (7-3-3, 1-1-1). “The invisible wall is finally gone for Marvin,” Culbreth said. “He scores those kind of goals See SOCCER on page 3B

Only a freshman, Hardin Valley Academy’s Zach Sears gave new meaning to the phrase “triple double,” normally associated with outstanding basketball play. Sears, Hawks’ designated hitter, smacked three doubles producing three RBI and joined sophomore catcher Sully Smoak as offensive catalysts in HVA’s 5-4 District 3-AAA home win against Clinton Wednesday, April 18. With all three doubles coming against CHS pitcher Marc Marsh, “I was seeing the ball well, good pitch recognition,” said Sears, whose Hawks improved to 11-2 in district, 16-8 overall.

“Cole really competed his butt off and really did an excellent job of mixing speeds,” Renegar said.
Wassenaar and Poage closed out the third-quarter scoring for the Admirals. Wassenaar completed his hat trick early in the final quarter
and Noland picked up his fourth goal to open scoring in the frame. “It was great for us to score early goals,” Wassenaar said. “This was a really big win.”
Yates Congleton had a hat trick for the Spartans. Ross Ewers scored twice while Johnny Chun and Parker Moseley scored single goals.

Hardin Valley, KDB tie ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutpress.com
Though decimated by injury — three starters lost to season-ending knee injuries — Hardin Valley Academy boys soccer was a last-second shot off the left upright away from a dramatic win Thursday. But the Hawks dodged the bullet of defeat thanks in large part to a pair of goals from junior forward Chris Gallaher, as this HVA home game against “a very strong” Kingsport DobynsBennett team ended 2-2 April 19.
Down 2-1, Gallaher’s sharpangle shot to the right from about 10 yards tied the game with 9:57 left. “I prayed two minutes before and asked God for a chance and He gave Hawks 2 me one,” Indians 2 he said. Tr e n t Stethen, Hawks senior middle defender “played great,” said HVA head coach Mike McLean, adding sophomore goalkeeper Ivan Torres “did a great job in the air” while senior midfielder Jonathan Perelman “on a hurt ankle played well.”

Bearden had some chances but Timmis and the Admirals defense came up with the stops they had to have. “We played well tonight,” Turner said. “But for us, it all comes down to not getting a free kick over a wall.”

have actually done it. Some of the people we talked to the first year have actually went through the process and they’ll be one of our vendors this year. “It’s cool to see the smaller families and small farms actually having a venue to do this,” Cannon said. Dixie Lee Farmer’s Market will offer a wide array of seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as free range eggs, grass fed meats, honey, cheese, herbs and baked goods. The Market also will feature vendors selling flowers, potted plants, pottery and handmade crafts. Vendors will set up space in the front parking lot of
Renaissance’s lowest level. Customers can park at Renaissance in upper level lots, or across the street at First Farragut United Methodist Church. The east entrance to Renaissance will be closed to vehicular traffic. “Everyone will have to enter at the west entrance,” Cannon said. “The inflow and outflow, the circle, they’re constantly in and out. We got almost no complaints last year,” she added. Customers are welcome to bring “well-behaved furry friends,” she added.

The congregation of Faith Lutheran Church was able to gather together in one single service for the first time in years Easter Sunday, April 8 — after the Jamestowne Boulevard church purchased a neighboring sanctuary. The Rev. Bob Stelter said, “We liked the idea of that being the biggest day of all days for Christians, but also for our church, that’s one of the biggest days of all time for us, too, as a congregation.” Faith Lutheran had outgrown its former sanctuary space, resulting in three services each Sunday and the moving of Sunday School classes to Wednesday nights. But in the larger sanctuary in the building next door — the site of the former New Light Presbyterian and St. John Neumann churches — there is room for everyone to attend two services. The Easter Sunday service was the first time the Sunday service was held in the new building, which was closed on in late March. “It was really quick, but we thought that was a very fitting, symbolic type of starting over,” Stelter said. “It’s one chance to have everybody together in one space,” he added. Faith Lutheran Church now owns more than 11 acres — and more than 61,000 square feet of building space — at the corner of Jamestowne Boulevard and Campbell

On a normal Sunday, Faith Lutheran now will have a 9 a.m. traditional service, a Sunday School hour and a contemporary service at 11:11 a.m. “We’ll go from three services a Sunday to two at this campus, which will let everybody just have some time together [and] the staff to not be so rushed ... let us slow down and spend some time with our members,” Stelter
said. Faith Lutheran also operates a “Lake Campus” of the church in Tellico Village. The new building also will be used to expand Faith Lutheran’s parochial school, or Faith Early Learning Center. Stelter said he hopes to add a first grade in the coming year, adding grades consecutively. “Right now we have a kindergarten and all those parents keep asking, ‘Can you keep us together?’ So eventually, we will See FAITH on Page 7B

Webb Middles ‘The Curious Savage’ presented May 1 Webb School of Knoxville’s Middle School drama students. John Patrick’s “The Curious Savage,” at 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 1, in Webb’s Bishop Center auditorium on the Webb School campus. Admission is free and open to the public. Stephen Perkins, Webb Middle School drama and Latin teacher, said he chose “The Curious Savage” because of its underlying themes of love, dignity, friendship and family. “For me the main draw in choosing this piece was the amount of dignity and humanity the play grants to the group of patients in the sanatorium,” Perkins said. “And the play's stance on friendship and what makes a real family.” He also noted the play’s reputation as a quality show and the fact that it has maintained its popularity for more than 50 years. “It’s clear to see why it’s a cornerstone of community theater,” Perkins added. “Featuring a large ensemble of highly memorable oddball characters and proving totally malleable to any casting shifts one might need.” The play’s large ensemble enabled Perkins to cast a wide range of students, including returning and experienced actors as well as newer actors such as sixth graders. It’s been a challenge balancing the various skill levels of his cast and crew, Perkins admits, but it’s also provided him with the opportunity to teach. “Putting this show together has been so much fun,” Perkins said. “They’re a great group of kids and I look forward to seeing the show when it all comes together."

have a parochial school ... probably just add a grade at a time. “That new space gives us the chance to do that,” Stelter said. Faith Lutheran’s gymnasium also will be freed up for more community use, since worship services no longer will be held in the space. “It really frees us to use this facility as our ministry and gift to the community,” Stelter said. The building was purchased with pledges through a capital
campaign called “Creating Holy Space,” launched in 2011 with the intent of building a new sanctuary. The goal changed when the adjacent property was made available. The new church space will be consecrated during a ceremony at 5 p.m., Saturday, May 5, by Bishop Julian Gordy of Southeastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. The public is welcome to attend. For more information, visit www.faithloves.org/

was among 400 high schools in National CyberPatriot Competition in October and December. “Then I get an e-mail [in early April] that says, ‘Congratulations, you’re the state champions in the CyberPatriot,’” Galaska added, noting his team was eliminated from national competition after Round 2 in December. “I thought we were pretty much done.” Matt Perlov, sophomore team member, said, “This was like our first year, so I was assuming we wouldn’t do too well.” The task involved “a messed up operating system that had a lot of security problems, and we had to go find them and fix them,”

Not long ago, the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced that it plans to keep short-term interest rates near zero until late 2014. The Fed initially pushed rates to that level in 2008, in an effort to stimulate economic growth. Clearly, low interest rates have a wide-ranging impact — but what effect will they have on you, as an individual investor? If you need income from your investments, then the continuation of ultralow interest rates may be a matter of some concern, particularly if you own certain types of fixed-income investments, such as certificates of deposit. While CDs are insured, offer return of principal at maturity and provide regular interest payments, they are not riskfree. With low interest rates, you risk losing purchasing power. Still, fixed-rate vehicles may well have a place in your portfolio. If you’re even somewhat dependent on your investments for income, you may need to broaden your search. Here are a few ideas to consider: • Build a bond ladder. Long-term bonds, by their nature, are more subject to interest rate risk than shorterterm vehicles. In other words, interest rates are more likely to rise during the life span of a longer-term bond — and when rates go up, the prices of existing bonds will fall. To help lower this risk, you may want to build a “ladder” of bonds of varying maturities. Then, if market interest rates are low, you’ll still have your long-term bonds earning higher rates, but if rates rise, you can take advantage of them by reinvesting the proceeds of your maturing shortterm bonds. But remember to work with your financial advisor to evaluate whether a bond ladder and the securities held within it are consistent with
Perlov said. “It was difficult. We found the first few of them pretty fast, and then we had a really long, slow period of not finding any of them. And, like, the last hour we found the last half of them. “Basically both of the rounds happened like that.” Dealing with “Cyber security … It’s six continuous hours to solve all the vulnerabilities,” Galaska said about both rounds. Other Cyber Admirals are senior David Meece, juniors Bryce Ballard, Andrew LaPlaunt and Daniel Garcia and freshman Bailey Holland. About CyberPatroit, Meece said, “It’s pretty hard stuff. Most of us, we were kinda learning throughout the whole thing. It was all new.”
Individually, “I learned how to close certain ports,” Meece added. “Just make the computer as a whole more secure.” Farragut won state honors among seven teams in Open Division, a feat recognized by “the local Air Force Association Chapter” of CyberPatriot, Galaska said.

Even with Low Rates, You Can Invest for Income your investment objectives, risk tolerance and financial circumstances. • Dividend-paying stocks. You can find companies that have paid dividends for many consecutive years — and in some cases, increased their dividend payout each year. In 2012, companies listed in the S&P 500 are on track to pay out more than $252 billion in dividends, a record amount, according to data compiled from Standard & Poor’s. (Keep in mind that the S&P 500 is an unmanaged index and is not available for direct investment.) Of course, stock prices will fluctuate in value, and you may receive more or less than your original investment when you sell. Historically, dividend-paying stocks have been less volatile than non-dividend-paying stocks. Be aware, though, that companies can lower or discontinue dividend payments at any time without notice. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. • Refinance your mortgage. Today’s low rates are good news for borrowers. With tougher standards in place, it may not be as easy to refinance a mortgage as it once was, but if you qualify, you may want to think about refinancing. You may be able to save quite a bit of money on your monthly payments — and lower payments can translate into a greater cash flow. Plus, if you don’t need all the savings, you can put some of the money into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or another retirement savings vehicles. Ultimately, an extended period of low interest rates is just one more factor to consider in creating and adjusting your investment strategy. Work with your financial advisor to help ensure low rates won’t affect your income needs.

me to her. “For me the hardest part was figuring out how Sarah was supposed to react to Sky Masterson, her love interest,” Wood added. “At first when I started playing her I acted more annoyed than I should have when we first meet him. I didn’t take into [account] the fact that she was trying to help gamblers get away from the sins of their lives.” Wood said getting down “inflections in my voice that I had to do and how I treated him” was “hard.” Rehearsing since January, production fell behind early in the semester because Scoggins was on maternity leave for about five weeks. “We’ve had to go through a lot to get this play done, but we’re getting there,” Wood said. Scoggins said her cast didn’t get enough time early in the semester “to familiarize themselves with the characters.” Wood added, “It’s a hard musical because there’s so much we have to put into it and so much acting. And so many supporting characters and so many lines for the lead characters, and so many songs. “This is the biggest challenge for me, personally,” she added. “It’s been difficult, but I love it.” Senior Brandon Cartagena, a violinist with “a strong passion for music” who is playing “Sky Masterson,” said he’s “never really played a role like Sky because Sky’s very sneaky, but at the same time he’s very smooth. So I’ve never had to play a role that’s so double-sided.”
