They’ll come by here pretty soon with either water or coffee. And then they’ll come back by with a delicious lunch,” Reeves said. “And then they’ll check on us in the afternoon and make sure everything’s going OK. “When we sign in they give us a treat bag,” Reeves added. “And they have a fabulous reception [Friday, May 9].” Stephanie Cobb’s mode of expression was a Nikon D-3000 camera to capture the beauty alongside Turkey Creek in the woods behind the Old Hackney Mill off Concord Road.

■ For local and area artists, the natural beauty within town of Farragut is year-round fodder. Enter Farragut Business Alliance to bring artists of all ages and beautiful Farragut landscapes together in a comfortable, supportive setting: its all about hospitality and outreach that various artists said requires them to mark down annual Art in the Park as a mustdo event. With FBA volunteers leading the way, the Fourth Annual Art in the Park presented by TDS received rave reviews during daylong activities Saturday and Sunday, April 26-27, throughout the Town. Using acrylic to paint a home in Old Concord while stationed not more than 20 feet from the railroad tracks, Karen Reeves of Farragut was joined by friends Richard and Gail O’Brien. “In the past three Art in the

Battlefield Knoxville apparently is making Farragut High School’s Graduation Celebration all the more successful. Winning over most of FHS Class of 2013 last May with it’s all-night entertainment, fellowship and good food — including big-screen video games and movies, an obstacle course, nongambling casino, dancing accompanied by a deejay and inflatables — Battlefield again is the location as the Class of 2014 has the same opportunity. Battlefield is open for new FHS graduates beginning at 11:30 p.m. following their graduation ceremony in ThompsonBoling Arena starting at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 17.

years ago,” Carson said “businesses from the National Chamber [of Commerce] standpoint” became concerned about varying high school competency standards nationwide. “Why did they do that? Because they started realizing that kids coming out of college, and to a lesser degree high school, couldn’t do the job,” Carson added. “We were teaching a lot of facts that we all learned. … But what the kids didn’t know is how to use them.” Moreover, “The world has changed enough so that anybody

Don’t talk “bottled water purchase” when around Bruce Giles. About First Utility District water, “I tell people all the time: ‘it’s the best value in the business for .2 cents per gallon,’ where you pay a $1.50 for a bottle of water,” Giles, FUD manager, said about the utility’s water quality that’s good enough to be nominated for state awards. “Basically for the price of two bottles we can put 1,000 gallons through your tap that’s better regulated.” However, “People don’t think that way,” Giles added. “It’s not nearly as regulated as
sory dwelling units; but Honkin said he expected the ordinance “was coming.” Markli, who initiated the ordinance proposal several months ago, said he was dumbfounded and awed at the Board’s reaction. “America is changing,” he said. “The need is pounding at our door.” LaMarche said she had mixed feelings about the ordinance but after going over a study from Lori Saal, sustainability coordinator, she thought the ADUs were “inevitable.” Village Green resident Ken Frazer asked if Markli, a custom home builder, should not step down from voting because of a conflict of interest. Markli and Honkin disagreed. On another matter, the Board unanimously voted to approve a change order on the outdoor classroom project to add $1,518.36 to alter the pitch of the roof on a Poligon structure.

■ Funding requests and a proposed accessory dwelling units ordinance dominated discussion among Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen members T h u r s d a y, April 24. During a workshop prior to the BOMA meeting, Board members heard from various nonp r o f i t Sousa groups seeking funding from the Town. However, no action on any request was taken. Among the groups was Farragut Business Alliance, w h i c h requested $100,000 the next fiscal year. C a t h y Ackerman w i t h Ackerman Ackerman Public Relations said this funding is not long-term, and the alliance is working toward a sustainable funding plan. “We believe it will need one year of bumping up funding by the Town,” Ackerman said. “Hopefully it would be used to establish a more robust corporate base.” Among the events FBA sponsors are Shop Farragut, Red, White and Blue festival, Light the Park, Art in the Park, Taste of Farragut and the newly created Go & Glow event. “Art in the Park will draw

My daughter [Kathryn, 9] thought I was famous.” While praising FBA volunteers for “pampering you and looking after you all day long,” oil painter Rose Montgomery from Dayton (Rhea County) came back for her second Art in the Park after first coming in 2012. Christina Cavanaugh from Philadelphia (Loudon County) could be found sitting on the tail gate of her pick-up truck capturing Bridgemore subdivision landscape in watercolor. Enjoying her first Art in the Park, “I was sent an e-mail from the Business Alliance. … One of the girls that heads up the Art thing, Robin Purvis [co-owner of sponsor Farragut Wine & Spirits], she recommended about three spots,” Cavanaugh said. “She was one of the ones who had been contacting me about the whole Art [in the Park].” Hundreds of children and their parents flocked to Art for Kids in Founders Park along Campbell Station Road Saturday.

Darla Berdal, FBA chairman of the board and an Art in the Park volunteer, said she was touched by one artist’s kindness in Founders Park. “Elizabeth Kidder (with Einstein Brothers Bagels in Farragut), she’s doing watercolors, and there was a little girl who was about 3 years old that was watching her, and she handed the girl the paint brush and showed her how to paint, where to paint on her picture,” Berdal said. “… That’s what this is all about.” Sousa estimated “between 350 and 400” children and parents enjoyed Art for Kids Saturday.

Jensen estimating there were “50 or 60” volunteers last year.” One example of service, “Restaurants will donate food that we have to come and get it,” Jensen said. Tickets may be purchased during school-time lunch break or during the Class of 2014 “breakfast at “Pinnacle” Stadium 18 for $35. Though tickets are available at the Battlefield door for $50, Jensen emphasizes that students buy their tickets ahead of time.

We don’t expect it to be much different, but this class is a little bit larger than last year’s class so we could have more kids come to it.” Jensen said she and Lee Wickman are looking for volunteers, stressing that you don’t have to be a parent of a 2014

At FUD Water Treatment Plant, 1239 Jenkins Lane in Concord, “Our utility serves a significant number of people … somewhere between 80,000 and 95,000,” Giles said. “We’re one of the larger systems in the state. … By [utility] district standards we’re the largest wastewater utility district in the state and the second largest water utility district.” That doesn’t count “municipal providers” such as KUB, which is “two or three times our size.” Serving all of Farragut and southwest Knox County up to roughly Walker Springs Road, FUD service also includes “a
TCAPs, “One said to me, ‘If I don’t do good my teacher can get fired.’” The PARCC testing, which evaluates Common Core teaching success, has been “delayed one year” by Tennessee General Assembly, meaning teachers are supposed to teach Common Core but yet children are tested on TCAPs. TCAP test results “count toward [teacher] evaluations,” Carson said. As a result, teachers say, “‘Where do you think I’m going to focus my teaching?’ … It’s crazy.” Under the current teacher evaluation system, FHS assistant principal Seth Smith said there is “night and day” difference in terms of teacher improvements since the stricter evaluations began in the 2011-12 school year. As a result, already highachieving students “continue to grow,” Smith added. In recent years, dealing with under-performing tenured teachers in KCS has gotten stricter. Before Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr. became KSC superintendent, “There was a tendency in Knox County to kind of pass them along somewhere else under the guise of giving them another try,” Carson said. Whereas Carson only recalled “about four” tenured teachers the board recommended for termination “during my first four years” on the school board (starting in 2004), Carson said that figure “last year was in the 30s. … All had performed at a 1 or 2 level [1 to 5 scale] for two consecutive years.”

can get facts,” Carson said. “… How do you work in groups? How do you problem-solve? … How do you develop the grit to stick it out and get through? … How do you collaborate over Skype and things like that? “Common Core sets standards for English, reading and math,” Carson added. As for having equally high standards for all students in a given classroom regardless of ability, Carson cited a story from the head of a charter school in Atlanta. “He said, ‘I’ll admit, these [lower achieving students] didn’t get [the highest scores], but they got here [signaling a higher level of achievement with her hands], which is that much above the bar we used to set for them,’” she said. Based on her 33 years as a pediatric nurse, Carson said about children today, “We make sure that their self-esteem is OK. We want them to be challenged but not to fail. And we want them all to get trophies.” “… We’re so careful about stress. But we don’t teach kids how to handle stress,” she added. “We just want to remove it.” Back to the classroom, “I think there is excessive testing, I think we need to get that back down,” Carson said. Moreover, “I see kids and hear so many that are test-anxious. … I went and talked to some third-graders, their first year of taking TCAPs. This was last year.” Hearing various children fretting about their upcoming

The [turning lane] needs to be removed before it opens for the safety of vehicle operators. Editor’s Note: The turn lane off Kingston Pike onto Thornton Drive was discussed during a Farragut Municipal Planning Commission meeting at which time comment from the public was solicited. The plan passed and the turn lane is open and functioning.

With warm weather, termites, flying ants and other pests are on the swarm. Carl Haynes, owner of Southeast Termite & Pest Control, said his business can help Farragut homeowners get rid of pests this spring. “Termites always swarm, usually April or May,” he said. “They look real similar to flying ants, which also swarm, not only in April and May but throughout the summer. So, [homeowners] need an expert to determine the difference between flying ants and termites. “And, of course, with the warmer weather, all of our insects — ants, spiders, crickets, water bugs, ground beetles, millipedes, centipedes — are more active,” Haynes said. “One thing people can do is to not have clutter,” he said. “Insects are always looking for a place to hide, and if they’ve got a lot of clothes, packages and toys laying around everywhere, [the insects] can find good hiding places.” He also recommended keeping all food sealed up and not out on a counter and not stacking wood against the outside of the house. Southeast also offers moisture and bird control services. “We have a monthly and a quarterly service that we service regularly, and it not only takes care of pests inside the house, it prevents others from coming inside,” he said.

Newsom bought that first electronic cigarette for himself as a matter of convenience. “I purchased it because it was 5 degrees out, and I didn’t want to go out to smoke,” he said. “That’s why I purchased mine.” As for regular cigarettes, “About a week into it, I did light one, took one puff of it and threw it out,” he said. “It was awful, absolutely awful.” And this is said by someone who described himself as a “heavy smoker for 25 years.” “My mom was a smoker for over 40 years,” he said. “I gave her one.

Between his bouts of wildness in the fourth and sixth innings along with a handful of Hawks defensive blunders, Neely said, “To be honest, I kind of did lose my composure just a little bit there.” Blowing a 3-0 lead and falling behind 5-3, the Hawks bounced back to lead 7-5 after five innings.

The win secured Hardin Valley the regular season District 4-AAA regular season Hawks 12 champiBulldogs 9 onship and No. 1 seed for the 4-AAA tournament (12-2, 24-5 overall) that began this week. “I think it says a lot about the kids, their heart and desire to win. They’ve been in some games like that this year,” HVA head coach Joe Michalski said. Neely added, “Our defense wasn’t the best in this game, but our bats were hot today and that’s what kept us in the game.” Jack Tate, BHS interim head coach, said both teams” swung the bat so well today. (Tate, an assistant coach, was filling in for head coach John Rice, who fell ill April 22 according to Tate). “I was just proud of our guys. Will Neely no-hit Farragut into the seventh inning a couple of weeks ago. And we hit the ball hard the entire game. “He’s a great pitcher, Lane Thomas is a great pitcher, but tonight the hitters had the advantage.” Despite the loss, the Bulldogs (18-11 overall after the game) were 10-3 in district play to begin the week.

David Moore, FHS head coach, said about his team’s rally, “The bottom of our order was with our young kids. A couple of them got on and got back to the top [of the order] and gave ourselves a chance. They did a good job of battling up there, working counts. Hannah had a big hit and Niki had a big hit.” “I’m proud of them.”

Smoky Mountain Hot Shots, 2013 Senior Olympics national champions (65-to-69 age group), recently came home with another gold medal from the qualifying tournament “Nothin’ but Net” in Hot Springs, Ark. The team completed an undefeated run for the championship. They defeated Bedford County of Tennessee 36-24, Arkansas 46-31, Oklahoma 48-28, Age Defiers of Tennessee 45-15, and Colorado 45-29. Team members, from left, are coach Rob Hargis, Cherie Martin, Susie Hargis, Jo Farmer, Joanne Sargent, and Neak Alexander. Not pictured is Anna Bright.

ner-up Louisiana Lightening, this Knox-area group won the six-team Nothing But Net Classic in Hot Springs, Ark., March 15-16. “She played in the [19]76 Olympics,” Susie said about Sargent as a member of Canada’s women’s basketball team during the Montreal Olympic Games. “She’s in like two or three hall of fames.” Though the Louisiana team “had never been beaten” to that point in 2013 before Hot Shots brought them down according to Susie, Sargent “wasn’t pleased playing with [the Louisiana team]. She loved playing with us.” Hot Shots went 5-0 in the roundrobin format. “We thought we would win,” Susie said. However, the competition in

Jay Mullens had no intention of delving into the performing arts as he entered Farragut High School as a freshman. But some gentle nudging from Lea McMahan, FHS theater teacher and Admiral’s Performing Arts Company director, was a way to suggest he might have APAC-level talent. “I totally happened upon theater by accident,” Mullens, an FHS APAC senior who has been inspired to direct, said. A “close family friend” with McMahan, “I happened to be in her theater class just as a class, I really didn’t expect it to go anywhere,” added Mullens, who among his APAC successes starred as “Calvin” in the Interp state-winning performance of “Calvin and Hobbs” last school year. “But then she asked me to help out and I just fell in love with it.” Still deciding between “pursuing acting as a career or whether I’m going to be a theater teacher,” Mullens will

Jennings Gatorade State Player of the Year
■ Josie Jennings is an AllAmerican girls soccer sweeper, a Farragut Lady Admiral named District 4-AAA Most Valuable Player last fall, who has signed as a student-athlete with The University of Tennessee. Adding Gatorade State Player of the Year honors, which rewards high-level academic and athletic success, caught this 18-year-old off guard. “My soccer, yes, is good and compares very well against who else [was] competing. … But I’d just marked off [my chances] because they probably had more community service hours and higher GPA,” Jennings, with a 4.2 grade point average, said. “But when I got the notification that said I had gotten it, I think my jaw dropped because I was so surprised that I actually had won this very prestigious award.” As for her major of pre-pharmacy at UT, “Both of my parents [mother, Jenny, father, Phillip Jennings] are pharmacists, so I’ve grown up around that community I guess you could call it,” See JENNINGS on Page 4B

to play the American division’s top team, Utah, in the semifinals Saturday, April 4. “They were sort of rated as a team that had the best chance of winning the tournament,” Despins said of Utah. “I think they were unbeaten through the round-robin.” Instead, “We came in there and scored early in the game and got a pretty convincing lead,” Despins said about the eventual 8-4 victory. “I don’t think that team was prepared for us. We played three hard periods of hockey and our kids didn’t stop.” Idaho players and parents tipped off Despins and the Jr. Ice Bears that Utah “’was hoping to play the Tennessee team’ because they thought that would be the easiest team,” the coach said. In the national title game, “Idaho was known for its speed. They had the top scorer of the tournament,” coach Despins said. “We changed a little bit our defensive strategy. “We went in and scored three goals on them in the first period and they didn’t have a shot at our net,” coach Despins added. “That’s how intense our defense was.” Lindsey and Bjurstrom were half of a Jr. Ice Bears defensive unit which comprised “the best defensive stats in the tournament out of all of the divsions [including 2A]” despite lacking depth, coach Despins said. Up 3-0, “Some very basic hockey” was plenty enough,”Individually in goal scoring points during the tournament, “I think Gage was tied for second with three other players,” coach Despins said about the forward and 2013 FHS graduate.

A forward on Bradford High School’s girls team (West Tennessee) who graduated in 1962, “I’m very fast and I’m a good shooter,” Susie said. “I guess I’m a pretty good defender. Probably pretty rough.” Normally a starter, Susie said she came off the bench during the Arkansas classic and “let them get it going. I would go in when anyone would need a rest.” “Some of my other players are from Maryville, and they had great [high school] coaching,” Susie added. As for her husband’s coaching style, “He’s kind of rough on me,” Susie said. “He wants so much for me. … He expects perfection. We work out at Fort Sanders five days

KAHA Jr. Ice Bears, ex-FHS players, national champs ■ Led by the head coach of Farragut High School hockey team plus four of his current and former Admirals players, Knox Amateur Hockey Association Jr. Ice Bears became the first-ever Knox County youth hockey team to ever win a national championship. “I don’t think there’s ever been a team in Tennessee to win a youth hockey national title,” Jr. Ice Bears head coach Rob Despins said after his team defeated Idaho 5-1, in the title game, to claim the Tier II 1-A National Championship in Wayne, N.J. Sunday, April 6. Among an eight team field as official Tennessee representative, Jr. Ice Bears key players with FHS ties included twothirds of Despins’ triplet boys, forwards Gage and Lucas Despins, who joined defensemen Kyle Lindsey and Felix Bjurstrom. They helped bring a national championship banner to Cool Sports Home of the Icearium in Farragut, KAHA’s home ice. Despins said many of the nonsouthern teams in the eightteam field wanted to play the Tennessee representative thinking the Jr. Ice Bears would be an easy mark. “We came out and surprised them,” he added. “We came out really strong.” Winning two out of three games in the “National” 1A division, beating West Virginia (6-3 Wednesday, April 2) and South Carolina (6-1 Thursday, April 3) to secure a semifinal round game, the Jr. Ice Bears were two wins from a national title. Despins’ Tennessee team lost to Montana 2-1 Friday, April 3, leaving them as the National Division runner-up and having

about an hour-and-a-half, two hours. I also had pre calculus and I also took calculus. But math is not my strong suit, I had to spend a little extra time on that.” Recalling her procrastination with reading “In [Farragut] Intermediate and [FPS] Middle school … “I would always put that off until the last minute, and reading a book you can’t put off until the last minute. So I definitely learned some time management skills. … Space it out each day, don’t cram it all in on the last week and then stress about it every single day.” Earning honor roll recognition every semester during her four years, Jennings told of a Humanities academy research project where she excelled during fall 2013 semester. “You create a website on a certain history my website won our school and also made it to the state competition,” Jennings said as one of three FHS students to earn the state honor. “… I decided to do Title IX [women’s equal rights law pertaining to NCAA athletics]. That was real close to my heart, since I’m going to play college sports. …. Creativity was one of the aspects they looked for. … It was public for a little bit.”

Jennings said. A year-round club soccer player who also has been named AllSouth while a three-time Allstate sweeper at FHS, Jennings recalled her preparation for being a major college studentathlete. “They always talk about how in college your time is completely consumed by college classes and sports training and fitness,” she said. “… I think taking rigorous courses and having that load of homework when I come home each night. Plus soccer has really made it an easier transition into the college atmosphere because I’m prepared and ready for time-consuming activities and everything that I have to do in college.” With fall season practices running “from 4 to 6:30” p.m., Jennings said that following dinner after 7 p.m., “I can’t allow myself to procrastinate. … I think soccer has really made us much better in our time management skills. “This past semester of my senior year I had some pretty difficult classes. … My junior year was pretty difficult because I had U.S. history, which is a lot of reading of the textbook.

attend Middle Tennessee State University, looking to major in theater education, beginning this fall. “The fact that I’m pursuing it with my life, I pretty much owe it entirely to Ms. McMahan,” he added. As for his motivation to teach, “I want to help other people learn to love it the way Ms. Mac helped me,” Mullens said. As his last APAC duty, Mullens, 18, is directing an eight-student cast in the comedy-drama “Almost, Maine.” Its three-performance runs begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 2-3, and at 3 p.m., Sunday, May 4, in FHS’s Ferguson Theater. “I wanted to see how well I could do at it,” Mullens said.
“I’ve had my own directors do so well in directing me that I wanted to see if I could make the same kind of impact on another one of the students. Really create something that could provide some meaning for somebody.” Not only directing, “I cast the show … I partially designed the set and I’m doing the lighting design as well,” Mullens said. Since casting was completed in early April, Mullens said about leading the overall process, “It’s been a pretty big challenge. … There’s a lot of impending problems that can be pretty terrifying. It’s stressful.” Also, “I didn’t think that casting the show would be that hard. But it took hours and hours to finally get a good list together of people,” he added. “It was really complicated.”

However, Mullens said his cast and other APAC behind-thescenes workers “are making the rehearsing process pretty seamless.” Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and children. About one week from the opening performance, Mullens said, “I think it’s going really well.” If Mullens chooses an acting career, “I would try to go up to New York, I think, because I think I prefer Broadway and live acting to film acting,” he said. “… Not that I’m overly confident, I just think that if anybody sticks with it long enough that they’ll find the means to success.”

MOTHER’S up to you to do the investigative work. Pay attention to conversations and see if there is anything she mentions wanting to try or something around the house that may need updating. Practical gifts are less likely to end up unopened in the basement or attic. • Check expiration dates. Gift certificates and cards for particular stores or services are popular come Mother's Day. But it is essential to check expiration dates on the certificates or find gifts, as there is a good chance Mom will put off pampering herself and you would not want the gift to expire before she has a chance to use it. In compliance with the law, chain restaurant gift cards don't expire for at least five years from purchase. Those might be your safest bet. • Verify a business. Although Mom may love a cute boutique that just opened, verify the business before buy-
Choose that Come spring, shoppers often ask, "What gift should I get Mom for Mother's Day?" How do people transform the sentiments they have for their mother into gifts that represent love and devotion? Buying a Mother's Day gift is no easy task, especially for those who wait until the last minute to do their shopping. Beginning early can ease the pressure of Mother's Day shopping. Research gift options at least a month prior so that you can read reviews on products and services to guarantee quality. You also want to make sure the gift will arrive on time if you will be ordering your gift online. Here are other ways to shop in a smart manner. • Do some sleuthing. Play detective and take inventory of what Mom likes to do the most. If you ask your mother what she wants, she will likely brush off the question and tell you nothing. It is

DAY 2014 sales may come with restrictions on returns or exchanges. Unless you know Mom will like what you pick out, avoid the "final sale" racks in favor of items that can be returned or exchanged. • Ask for a price match. In an effort to keep a loyal customer base, many stores will price match against competitors' ads. Therefore, if you feel more comfortable at a certain store, print out the advertised price and bring it to your favorite store. There's a good chance they will give you the item for the same price. This works particularly well for tech gifts that typically go on sale in the days leading up to a holiday or special event. There are different ways to make shopping for Mother's Day gifts a little easier and guarantee the best experience for Mom as well.
Special Gift ing a gift card from it. An unpredictable economy has made it even harder for new businesses to succeed, and you don't Mom to be stuck with a worthless gift card should the new business not thrive. If she really likes a particular new business, take her on a shopping spree at the store instead. • Skip the chocolate overload. Flowers and chocolates are traditional Mother's Day gifts. However, calorieconscious women may not want to be faced with the temptation of a warehouse-sized box of chocolate treats. If Mom truly loves chocolate, treat her to a gourmet piece or two, but don't make that your main gift. • Avoid "final sale" items. It can be tempting to peruse the deep-discount rack at Mom's favorite store when retailers cut prices on items in anticipation of a new season. However, these

right next to Woodland, Washington.) No wonder Victoria kept trying to get me off the freeway. She thought we were going to La Center. When I got settled and quiet in church, it struck me that Victoria was like one of those nagging worry thoughts that can try to take over our peace. We can forget that all is well and let those worry thoughts drag us down if we let them. But we don’t have to let them. The next time I’m worried about something, I’m just going to say, “Shut up Victoria, you don’t know diddly-squat,” and be about my happy business. Oh, and I am also going to get my GPS 101 lesson today and learn how to use Victoria for future trips.
Shut up Victoria! You don’t know diddly-squat! to my dashboard! I told you Terry had programmed the address into the contraption, but I didn’t tell you why. Okay, okay I don’t exactly know how to do it. . .yet! I also don’t know how to turn Victoria’s volume down or make her go away, especially while driving 70 miles per hour. I know I should have given myself a cushion of time to go to a new destination, but I didn’t. So if I’d taken the time to pull over and figure out how to shut her up, I would have been late to church. Consequently, I was stuck listening to her tell me to “take the next right” at every possible exit off I-5, for the next 52 miles all the way to the church! But something very interesting happened mid-trip. Because I had the Mapquest directions as backup, I knew that Victoria was wrong. Relentlessly wrong! So, I just tuned her out of my mind. When I got to the church I looked at the address Terry had programed into the contraption. Instead of the city being Lake Oswego (a suburb of Portland) he had hit La Center (the small town

Last Sunday I decided to visit a new church near Portland, Oregon. I got the address and Terry, my husband, went out to the car and programmed it into our new GPS for me. I don’t quite trust the thing yet. (Once it got me going in circles and I’d still be trying to get to my destination if I hadn’t Pam recognized Young the same Make it barn, for the third Fun! time.) W h e n going someplace new, I always back myself up with MapQuest. It said the church was an hour from my home and mostly freeway. I set off out of Woodland, Washington and before I’d gone two miles Victoria (that’s the name I gave her) popped up in a breathy British accent, “Take the next exit right.” I want you to know, Terry is the one who picked Victoria out of the choice of voices, and quite frankly, I think he has a digital crush on her. She sounds like Marilyn Monroe if she’d been raised in London. “Take the next exit right? You idiot we’ve got 50 miles to go,” I replied angrily. She ignored me! “Turn right,” she directed, her sensuous tone threatening to fog up the inside of my windows.” “No!!” I shouted at the Brit stuck

A Farragut High School fundraiser Thursday, April 3, with proceeds going to American Cancer Society, ended up with assistant principal Kim Gray getting her hair dyed purple and assistant principal/athletic director Seth Smith getting a pie in the face. A Penny Wars contest during FHS lunch breaks allowed students to “vote,” based on donations, for Smith or Gray. While Penny Wars raised roughly $125, Second Annual FHS Relay For Life Friday evening, April 4, at Bill Clabo Field track raised $3,300 for ACS.
