Art in the Park for Kids fills Founders Park
Tindal fills health vacancy

Sunshine and clear skies welcomed a crowd of roughly 600 to the third annual Art in the Park for Kids. The Farragut Business Alliance event, presented by TDS Telecom, took place Saturday afternoon, May 2, in Founders Park at Campbell Station. It offered children a chance to catch and learn about butterflies in butterfly tents and create hands-on arts and crafts at various booths. “We had beautiful weather, a steady, well-paced crowd, lots of smiles and budding artists everywhere,” Allison Sousa, executive director of FBA, said. “It’s just a wonderful thing on a beautiful day to do all these things,” Sandy Rea, a Farragut grandparent said. Children could paint on fish to make gyotaku art, decorate cookies or marbles, arrange flowers into May Day cones, have their faces painted and draw with chalk. “All of the art activities and the volunteers and vendors who provided them were wonderful; however, the butterfly tent — or ‘Nature’s Art,’ as we call it — was definitely a huge draw,” Sousa said. “Being able to interact with a variety of beautiful butterflies fascinated both the children in attendance and their parents.” Founder’s Park’s statues and streams drew children, too, as they took time from crafts to climb on the stream’s boulders or on a turtle statue. “It’s very good,” Jwala See ART on Page 2A

Wary about traffic congestion after being e-mailed stories of constituents “sitting and not moving for 30 minutes” in traffic during Farragut’s first-ever half marathon last November, Town Mayor Ralph McGill said he doesn’t want that repeated in May. Race 13.1 Farragut/Knoxville, which also includes a 10k and 5k race, begins at 7 a.m., Sunday, May 17, at the Pinnacle at Turkey Creek along Parkside Drive. “I think we need to be more deliberate about the traffic and make sure it’s not going to put everything in a mess like it was last time,” said McGill, who added he was among those motorists delayed by the
November marathon held on a Saturday morning (not sponsored by Race 13.1) while “headed to the airport.” “I think they just need to do a better job of separating the lanes between the runners and the cars,” McGill added. “It seems like last year there were conflicts with those two groups. It made for a mess.” Chris Brown, senior vice president of Race 13.1, said he and other race officials “were able to get it approved” by vote of Town’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen late last year. While “expecting around 600 runners” according to Brown, race chairman, he advised motorist may want to “avoid” the intersection of Parkside Drive, North Campbell Station Road and Grigsby Chapel Road “from 7
to 8 o’clock [a.m.] for sure” due to the heavy congestion of halfmarathon runners heading from the start to “Grigsby Chapel Greenway” soon after entering Grigsby Chapel. Westbound Parkside traffic from the starting point at Pinnacle at Turkey Creek to Parkside Drive “will be closed for 30 to 40 minutes” prior to and just after the 7 a.m. start, Brown said. “One of our main concerns is not disrupting the community at all.” With “runners coming back the same way” heading toward the finish line according to Brown, traffic at that intersection will be halted periodically by Knox County Sheriff’s Office officers — whenever a runner or See RACE on Page 5A
Board approves playground for Mayor Bob Leonard Park

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Plans for a new playground at Mayor Bob Leonard Park are taking shape as a contract to install a new playground is approved. Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved unanimously a contract with GameTime for $82,990. Sue Stuhl, Farragut Parks and Leisure Services director, anticipated the completion date will be late summer of this year. “The current playground at Mayor Bob Leonard Park was constructed during the summer of 2002 and replaced an old wooden playground on the same
site,” Stuhl said. She added the average life of a playground structure from that era is about 10 years. “So, we are fast approaching the projected end of life at 12 years for the current structure,” she said. Besides the age, Stuhl said the pour-in-place surface is in distress, and it is at the point where it cannot be patched anymore. “Safety is the most important consideration in parks, and this is especially true for playgrounds,” she said. “Any play structure that is constructed must address standards through the U.S. Consumer Production See BOMA on Page 5A

Karen Tindal has been chosen to fill a vacancy on the Community Health Council. Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen elected the 20-year Farragut resident by a 3-2 vote in favor of Tindal during its meeting April 23. “I’m looking forward to serving the community,” Tindal said, adding she hopes to bring a perspective of Tindal health and fitness related experience to get people active in the community. Tindal said when she read an article in the newspaper, she wanted to apply for the Community Health Council seat. “I just really enjoy serving the community. I like to volunteer,” she said. “I was with the YMCA for 20 years, so leadership is something I’m always interested in.” Tindal added she would like to make a difference concerning health and well-being in the community. “I love the Farragut community,” she said. “I was on their website and was familiar with the other organizations involved with the Community Health Council. “I was very interested in seeing the diversity of the organizations, getting everyone together to make our community a better, healthier place for everybody,” she said. Tindal has a Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of Tennessee, she oversaw all aspects of Girls on the Run Council as executive director between December 2012 and December 2014 and served as director of health and well-being and as a fitness instructor for YMCA of East Tennessee from August 1995 to December 2012. Tindal vied for the Community Health Council seat with Dale Collins, a retired CEO and president of Baptist Health System of East Tennessee. He served for 35 years in healthcare administration in Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. Alderman Ron Honken nominated Collins based on his experience but Alderman Ron Pinchok, who said his wife is on See TINDAL on Page 2A

They are having a blast. “It’s good; it’s fun,” Tuoc Phan said about Art in the Park for Kids. “It’s basically for kids.” “This is great for the kids,” Sarah Hunter of Knoxville said. “I like it,” Bryan Cron of Farragut said. “We came out here last year, too.

lettertotheeditor Resident says no to zone change It has come to our attention that a developer, Mr. Peter Falk, is requesting to rezone the property at the corner of Herron and Campbell Station roads (currently zoned residential) to allow for the development of a multi-unit, 24 hour, assisted living facility. We have some significant concerns about this potential development. As homeowners and residents of the town of Farragut, we believe the rezoning will have a significant impact on the character and quality not only of our neighborhood, but Farragut as a whole. Campbell Station Road is a primary entry point to Farragut, and we urge you to preserve the residential sections of our community. These are the reasons we have chosen to live here, and we should work together to preserve the high quality community feel that attracted us here. There is an excess of property already zoned commercial in Farragut that would be ideal for this development, and we believe it is impractical and unwise to change existing residential zoning to add more commercial space. The corner of Herron and Campbell Station roads is currently a pedestrian friendly intersection where runners, walkers and
families access the park, library, and even walk to and from Farragut Primary, Middle and High schools. Adding a 24 hour assisted living facility to this corner will lead to increased traffic and a change in traffic patterns that will pose an unnecessary safety risk to Farragut children and families. The entrance to the proposed facility will likely be off of Herron Road. This will cause additional safety concerns due to very limited visibility on this road approaching the property. Finally, we believe that the proposed zoning change directly contradicts the Comprehensive Land Use Plan developed by the town of Farragut. If passed, this could set a precedent for additional zoning changes that could adversely impact many neighborhoods in Farragut and harm our family community. I sincerely hope that the [Farragut Municipal Planning Commission] members will vote to stop the commercialization of the land across from our park (changing PARCEL 117 R 2 to R 6)! Please plan to attend this 7 p.m., May 21, meeting at the Farragut Courthouse and let FMPC members know your concerns too. Gary and Christy Mahoney Farragut

• Farragut does not have a comforting police presence in general, much less having regular patrols in the greenway and park areas. I do not feel safe in these areas, especially in light of what occurred at the greenway off Sutherland Avenue recently. I cannot help but feel this gives credence to the current initiative to have guns in parks in the state of Tennessee. We need more visible and vigilant police presence in the Farragut area. I have been to other greenways and Parks in the Knoxville area and have never seen any patrols of any kind there. I resent [Knoxville] Mayor [Madeline] Rogero stating that these areas are absolutely safe and are regularly monitored by police. They are not. • I am excited about the apartment community coming in off Peterson Road in the middle of Farragut. We need more housing choice for teachers, nurses, young professionals and people who want
to downsize their homes when they don’t have smaller units to purchase they can rent in an apartment community. We are exited about that. Fox Den has condominium apartments in the back of Fox Den that have been there for 30-plus years. There are real good apartment communities at Lanesborough and Derby Run. So we need, as strategic objective No. 3 in the town of Farragut [Land Use Plan] — that they spent over $100,000 and spent months accumulating comments — says that we need to encourage greater housing choice and that’s certainly what we need in Farragut. Everyone cannot afford a $400,000-plus house in Farragut. It’s a great community and we need better housing choice as the Board of Mayor and Aldermen have said in their strategic objective No. 3. It says we need greater housing choice. So, we are exited about the project.
guestview: Gov. Bill Haslam When we launched our Drive to 55 initiative, where our goal is to have 55 percent of our adults with a college degree or certificate by 2025, we knew we would need to do two things. We knew we needed to increase the number of high school seniors who go on to college, and we knew we would Bill need to Haslam reach out Tennessee to adults in Governor Tennessee who need a college degree and get them back into the higher education system. We hope the Tennessee Reconnect grant will serve as a catalyst for those adults who were perhaps unsure whether they should enroll in higher education to go ahead and take the next step. Under Tennessee Reconnect, adults in our state will be able to attend a Tennessee college of applied technology free of
tuition and fees. Our TCATs have an 80 percent graduation rate and an 85 percent job placement rate. They are recognized across the country as models of student success. To reach our goal, we know we have to reach those who didn’t get a credential and get them back into higher education. We have 27 technical colleges, and their students are gaining the necessary skills to succeed and go on to higher paying jobs and better lives. Our ability to attract and retain business is tied directly to the quality of our workforce. At our TCATs, students are gaining skills in advanced manufacturing, welding, nursing and range of other fields. Tennessee Reconnect is a lastdollar scholarship program that was part of our Tennessee Promise legislation the General Assembly passed last year. The Tennessee Promise is known primarily for its goal of getting more high school graduates to attend our community colleges or technical schools or other eligible institution offering an associate’s degree. We were excited to see the results as 58,000 high school seniors
applied. But reaching out to adults is also a priority. Tennesseans can sign up for the Tennessee Reconnect grant at tnreconnect.gov, and we ask that they do so before May 15. Applicants will be guided through the admission and financial aid process by their local TCAT. Attracting adults to go back to college is a challenging task, because adult students have complex lives. They often juggle children, family, work and church. Data tell us that when adult students re-enter higher education they do very well. It is crucial that we find a way for more adults to succeed. Their success also means opportunity for employers, who are able to have a highly trained set of workers ready to contribute and be productive on day one. We know our state’s ability to compete economically and recruit business is directly tied to how many of our residents have the skills and credentials to succeed in the workforce. Returning to college can seem like only a dream. But Tennessee Reconnect is designed to help people reach their dreams.

group of runners approach the intersection — until around 10 a.m. “That’s one of our main concerns is not disrupting the community at all,” Brown said. “That’s one reason why we run at 7 a.m. on Sunday morning and try to get ahead of the church traffic as much as possible,” he added. “… Knox County Sheriff’s Office will be controlling that intersection as well as other key points along the route.”
“Runners will be running down Parkside, across Campbell Station, on to Grigsby Chapel, but then they will very quickly be getting on to the Grigsby Chapel Greenway.” This is one of 20 Race 13.1 half marathons “across the southeast right now,” Brown said. “We’re very excited to be bringing this race to the Farragut/Knoxville area.” The 10k and 5k races start at 7:15 a.m. Both races begin at Pinnacle at Turkey Creek. “The majority of them will be from Tennessee, but they’ll be
people from surrounding states as well,” Brown said. To sign up for any of the races, visit www.race131.com or contact Brown at 615-202-4230 or chris@race131.com/ Among the treats for those supporting runners, “We’ll be able to have a sign-making station for families and kids who want to make signs for their family or friends [running],” Brown said. “They’ll be a DJ on hand to play music before and during the event.” Proceeds benefit Huntington’s Disease Society of America.

Farragut High School ace pitcher Patrick Raby got off to a rocky start Monday night. Yet, he wasn’t concerned. “I really wasn’t too worried,” Raby said after he surrendered two runs and four hits in the first inning of the Admirals’ 103 victory over Karns in the Region 2-AAA semifinals on John Admirals 10 Heatherly Field Beavers 3 at The Ballpark in Farragut May 11. “I wasn’t worried because I knew my offense would score some runs. As fate would have it Raby, a Vanderbilt signee, wouldn’t have much to worry about. He would eventually settle in and throw another gem. But the Beavers (22-14) scored a pair of early runs to take the lead. Karns, the District 3-AAA tourney runnerup, took a 1-0 lead when catcher Tucker Pate singled home Nick Beauchat, who singled to lead off the game and later stole second.

Simple execution of two bunts helped launch Hardin Valley Academy to the program’s first ever Region 2-AAA Baseball Tournament victory. Throw in clutch bases-clearing three-RBI hits from senior shortstop Seth Hunt (double) and senior second baseman Dom Leo (triple), plus staff pitching ace Will Neely allowing just one earned run, four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in four innings. The result was an 11-1 region semifinal victory, in five innings, at Powell’s Danny T. Maples Field Monday evening, May 11. “We talked about going somewhere where the program’s never gone before,” HVA head coach Joe Michalski said about the region win. “We talked about
getting a signature win.” In terms of execution, “We talked about those bunts all day in practice the last couple of days. That those bunts were going to be key to the game,” Michalski said about key fourthinning bunt singles from Ian Pung and Hawks 11 Vinny GamPanthers 1 buzza igniting a six-run frame. Jay Scarbro, Powell head coach, said the two bunts and Panthers mistakes “forced us into tough positions that we weren’t really ready for.” Concerning the bases-clearing extra-base hits, “Seth is just the toughest guy we’ve got,” Michalski said. “He’s playing with two injured thumbs, gutting it out for us this season. ...

Soccer Hawks claim 4-AAA Tournament crown 2-0 Easy region win puts HVA in sectional

KEN LAY Correspondent
A pair of first-half goals would prove to be all Hardin Valley Academy’s boys soccer team needed to win the District 4-AAA Tournament championship Friday night, May 8. “We knew [Farragut] was going to come in here and start fast,” HVA defender Logan Kington said after the Hawks notched a 2-0 victory before a packed and boisterous house at Hardin Valley. “We knew that we had to put our chances away early.” T h e Hawks 2 Hawks (16-0-2) Admirals 0 reached the Region 2-AAA title game tonight, Thursday, May 14, after an 8-3 region semifinal win against Halls at HVA Monday evening, May 11. Hardin Valley would have to hold off a late charge from the Admirals (14-3-2) to win the 4AAA tourney title. Kington scored the game’s first goal on a penalty kick in the 13th minute, and from there Hardin Valley would go on to control the first half of the match. “For Logan to hit that was a great momentum builder,” Hawks’ head coach Mike McLean said. “Both of our keepers came up big and made some huge saves. “Any time you play in a district championship game, both teams are going to come in and give it their best. They’re a champi-

onship team and you know they’re not going to quit.” All season, Jeremy Wise and Drew Foster have split time in the net for the Hawks. The duo did so again Friday night. Wise started and played the first half. He made three saves before giving way to Foster after halftime. Foster was tested early after the break and stopped a point-blank shot from Dami Omitaomu. Foster would make eight saves, including a stop on a penalty shot from Ethan Snow in the 73rd minute. “They got behind us a couple of times and both of our keepers came up huge,” McLean said.

advances to play at HVA Thursday, while the loser’s season ends. Should a third meeting between the two District 4-AAA rivals become a reality, Schneider said he expects that his squad would employ the same tactics. “I feel like if we see them again, I expect that the game plan will be much the same as it was tonight,” he said. Culbreth said his team should be better prepared for region play. “If we see them again, I think you’ll see the Phoenix rising. I think our guys got a wakeup call tonight. You can lose two games and still win a state championship,” he said.
Despite being unbeaten, HVA has a pair of ties on its résumé. One was a scoreless draw against the Admirals and the other draw came against Oak Ridge. “We knew this game would be big and not only for the district championship,” Kington said. “We knew that it would be big for us to get home-field advantage [for the regional semifinals; so we wouldn’t have to go to Oak Ridge. “We played Oak Ridge earlier this year and we’ve had to play there [in the regional tournament] the last couple of years,” he added. Farragut notched a 3-2 comeback win against the Wildcats during the regular season.

Red Rebs run out of luck, soccer Ads dominate 3-1 Doyle goals help FHS reach region
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
MARYVILLE — A combination of revenge, urgency and not enough Red Rebel luck gave Farragut boys soccer an extra boost against Maryville. “Hats off to Farragut, they were the better team tonight,” Steve Feather, MHS head coach, said about the Admirals’ 3-1 District 4-AAA Tournament semifinal Admirals 3 victory on John Red Rebels 1 Sevier Elementary School field Wednesday evening, May 6. Beating Farragut 3-2 during the regular season in Maryville, “We got a little lucky, we finished our chances,” Feather said. “We knew the second time through it would take a little luck again. “… Farragut moves as fast to the ball as any team we’ve played,” Feather added. The No. 3 tourney seed, Farragut’s record stood at 13-3-2 after a 2-0 loss to top seed Hardin Valley Academy in the 4-
AAA title game Friday, May 8, at HVA. Maryville, No. 2 seed, finishes its season 13-5-1. “This was the team’s dream, was to play Maryville again,” FHS head coach Wallie Culbreth said. “We didn’t care where. “This was a team effort tonight. “We were upset about the last time we played them. They didn’t deserve it, we deserved to win,” Ethan Snow, FHS senior captain who had one assist, said. “So we came out for revenge. “When we stepped off the bus not a single one of us thought that we were going to lose this game,” Snow added. “… We wanted to show Maryville we were the better team.” With a 19-9 Farragut edge in shots-on-goal according to Maryville statistics, it was Joe Doyle, sophomore forward, scoring the Admirals’ final two goals after FHS built a 1-0 halftime lead. The first came off a Snow corner kick, heading the ball from about eight yards out with 35 minutes left in the game. “Ethan’s really good at corners,

he played a perfect ball,” Doyle said. “I saw it in the air, gave the defender a little push and just played it over the keeper.” The second was an easy tap-in goal at the 30:40 mark, set up by some nifty maneuvers from Dami Omitaomu, who beat the
Maryville keeper before a short pass to Doyle. “Dami dribbled down the line, he went one-on-one with the keeper, took a pretty big touch around the keeper and I was just there to tap it in,” Doyle said. Farragut continuously put

pressure on the Red Rebels’ defense in the first 40 minutes, breaking through with 6:31 left before halftime. Mark Coffey, senior midfielder, took a deflected ball on a short-hop off the ground and, from about 20 yards in front, connected on a frozen rope shot beating the MHS goalkeeper to his left in the upper portion of the goal. “It was a half-volley, it was just barely bouncing off the ground. It just caught my foot right and it swerved in perfectly,” Coffey said about his goal. “… I think it might have deflected off a Maryville player, and then it came out and rolled perfectly off my foot.” Not affected by roughly one hour combined in weather and injury delays, the Admirals “played well. We passed decently … I think we just wanted it more. We connected awesomely, and I couldn’t be more proud of my boys,” Coffey said. The only Red Rebels goal was a converted penalty kick from Chris Fernandez with 9:50 to play.
had 12 strikeouts. The Lady Hawks finally got on the board in the fifth inning. Sydney Dukes singled then moved third on a double by Wynne. Both Dukes and Wynne appeared to score when second baseman Haley Cloud reached on a three-base error. (35-11). Dukes scored but Wynne was ruled to have missed home plate when Halls head coach Bryan Gordon won an appeal. The Lady Red Devils scored the tying run with two down in the seventh inning thanks to three passed balls.

plate. “More than anything, I was pleased with the approach that we took at the plate,” Hurley said. “I wouldn’t say that we felt good. But we had a good inning. “We knew that this was going to be a dogfight. These kids have battled hard all year. There’s just no quit in this baseball team. I couldn’t ask for a better group of guys.” Farragut head coach Matt Buckner said Raby struggled. “That wasn’t a typical start for him,” Buckner said about his senior ace. “He’d given up three earned runs all year. They [the Beavers] did a good job. “They were able to put some hits together.” While Raby struggled, Karns starting pitcher Greg Tye gave up a leadoff double to Cole Morgan in the bottom of the first but he kept the Ads off the scoreboard that inning. But Farragut’s bats didn’t stay silent for long. The Admirals (34-6) scored six runs in the bottom of the second. Tye would finish the frame but he wouldn’t go to the mound for the third. The Ads sent 10 hitters to the
plate in the second and score six runs on just four hits. Jake Hagenow started the inning with a leadoff walk. He advanced to second when Tyler Lugo singled and took third when Tye uncorked a wild pitch. Chandler Chambers pulled Farragut to with 2-1 when his single plated Hagenow. The Admirals would tie the game when Tye balked, allowing Chambers to score. FHS picked up another run when Morgan reached on an error. John Painter’s sacrifice fly drove in another run. Chase Fullington and Nico Mascia added RBI doubles later in the frame. Morgan said the six-run second inning changed the complexion of the contest. “We went down 2-0 and then we scored six runs in that second inning and that was the knockout punch,” Morgan said. “We knew that we could get some runs off of them.” Trevor Adams took the mound for the Beavers in the bottom of the third. He pitched a scoreless inning before surrendering a run in the fourth. Farragut’s Duncan Pence led off the fourth with a single. Pence would score two outs later
on Lugo’s sacrifice fly. In the fifth, the Ads expanded their advantage to 10-2. Farragut scored three runs in the inning as Lugo had a two-run single and Mascia knocked drove Painter home with a sacrifice fly. Painter started the rally with a one-out single. Raby gave way to left-handed reliever Eric Lessig in the sixth. Lessig surrendered a run in the top of the sixth before working a scoreless seventh. Buckner said he’s pleased to be moving on. “Now, it’s all about winning,” he said. “Now, we have to survive and advance.” Farragut played district rival Hardin Valley Academy Wed-nesday, May 13, in the region title game (after deadline). Both both teams advanced to Friday’s sectional round versus opponents from Region 1-AAA.

on the biggest night tonight.” Hunt also saved at least one run defensivley with a diving stop of a grounder, to his right, and put-out with two outs and two on base in the third inning. Hardin Valley (25-14 after the win) is guaranteed a spot in Friday’s sectional game, placing HVA one win away from the program’s first-ever state tourney trip. The Hawks traveled to Farragut Wednesday for the region title game (after deadline). Winner is home for Friday’s sectional, the loser plays the Region 1-AAA champ on the road. Powell, District 3-AAA champion, finishes 21-14. Scoreless into the top of the fourth inning, HVA exploded for six runs versus Panthers staff ace Peyton Alford, a junior southpaw. Landen Beyer was hit by a pitch. Pung’s nice bunt single was thrown away, leaving runners at second and third. Gambuzza followed with his own bunt single, scoring courtesy runner Dawson
Byard. Zach Sears’ RBI groundout made it 2-0. After Tyler Thompson walked, Ryder Green singled to left field. Hunt promptly delivered his three-RBI double into the leftcenterfield gap making it 5-0. “It was a fastball. I had my twostrike approach, coach has been talking about it all year. ...[Alford] brought it over the middle part of the plate and I just kept my hands inside,” Hunt said. Two walks and a hit batter preceded Leo’s three-RBI triple to right-centerfield in a five-run Hawks fifth inning. “Dom is just one of those kids you can never count out,” Michalski said. Dylan Harris walked and stole second base, allowing Leo to score. Harris scored on an infield throwing error off Beyer’s bat. Harris had two singles for the Hawks. Beyer also singled. Neely said about his performance, “At the beginning of the game my sinker and my curveball were working really well,” adding his fastball was “92, 93” mph. Greg Valentine relieved Neely in the fifth (one walk, no hits).

Wallpaper is making a comeback with a user-friendly product, Rachel Sheridan, designer for Town House Interiors near Farragut, said. The product, Sure Strip, already has the adhesive backing on the paper, so it is easier to put up and take down, Sheridan added. “We had started to see a pulse of life in wallpaper last year,” Janice Moore, registered interior designer and owner of Town House Interiors, 11071 Parkside Drive, said. “This product, Sure Strip, will truly revitalize wallpaper again,” Moore said, adding the product eliminates the biggest complaint people have about using wallcoverings as a part of an interior design plan. “It’s pretty phenomenal,” Sheridan said, adding for her the product was easy to understand in terms of how to use the product and install it. She said the cost is about the same as traditional wallpaper but people don’t have to buy the adhesive backing separately. The time to install the product depends on the installer’s skill, she said, but added, “It’s really quite fast, so you can install an entire dining room in an afternoon. “With revolutionary new paper, environmentally friendly inks, pre-pasted and washable qualities, Sure Strip wallpapers are the easiest you‘ll ever put up or take down,” Joanne Berwager,

With summer just around the corner, Farragut residents have a new resource for their pool, spa and billiard needs. Aurora Pool, Spa & Billiard Gallery opened Thursday, April 9, at its new location, 142 West End Ave. next to Echelon Bikes in Farragut. John Gifford, president, said an official grand opening took place Thursday, April 23. “We’re pretty excited,” Gifford said. “We think we have a goodlooking store.” “It will be an exciting new store,” Scott McDonald, store manager, said. “We didn’t get a lot of clientele from this area at
our other locations even though it’s 20 minutes away.” “We felt the Farragut market needed a full-line pool and spatype business,” Gifford said. “We’re hoping for growth. “We feel Farragut is a great area,” he added. “We have been well-received by the people we’ve talked to. Our main objective is to offer quality products and great service at great prices.” Aurora sells and installs pools, spas, billiard tables, tanning beds and saunas, Gifford said. Area residents also will find patio furniture, chemicals for pools and spas and free water analysis, he added. “We have all your accessories and parts for in-ground and above-ground pools,” Gifford
said. “We offer zero percent financing for 12 months.” The Farragut location marks Aurora’s third site.

Puckett retiring as security officer Retired U.S. Army vet with HVA since it opened in 2008

Standing beside the mascot symbol of the school he’s helped keep safe since Hardin Valley Academy opened in August 2008, Knox County Schools Security Officer James Puckett is retiring after this school year.
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A military career took James Puckett off “the road to nowhere” after growing up in Hickory Valley near Memphis. The discipline and respect for authority he learned in the U.S. Army, retiring as chief warrant officer 4 after almost 25 years of service that included 12 years in foreign tours, has helped Puckett become a highly respected Knox County Schools Security officer. His home base has been Hardin Valley Academy for the past seven school years — since HVA opened in August 2008. “I had a lot of the friends around me, they were getting in trouble. Up to no good,” Puckett, who is serving his final few days at HVA before retiring at the end of this school year, said about his grade-school years. “So I had to do something with my life. Something meaningful, so I chose the military.” Though “my mom and dad were disciplinarians, when I got out there on my own I sort of strayed away,” Puckett added. Moving to Milwaukee, Wis., after graduating high school in 1973,
Puckett joined the Army in 1975. “It was challenging, but that’s what I needed,” he said. “I needed someone to hold me accountable.” An “automotive maintenance technician” in the Army, Puckett served two tours in South Korea in 2nd Infantry Division (seven years), two more in Germany (two years) and one in Japan (three years). Upon retiring with several military decorations and honors from the Army in September 2000, “I went to work for Knox County Schools as a teacher’s assistant in special ed[ucation],” Puckett said. “I worked there for seven years. An author of nine books, “I was looking for something challenging. My wife [Brenda] was in education, working with Special Needs. She encouraged me to do that,” Puckett said. “I learned a whole lot.” Seeking yet another challenge led Puckett into school security, beginning at Austin-East High School during the 2007-08 school year. “During my military career I had a lot of training in security. … It was a real easy transition for me,” he said. “To be able to be trusted with the See PUCKETT on Page 3B
Annual Croquet Tournament supports the arts ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut area residents can support the arts while playing a game of croquet. Knoxville Opera Guild will hold its 11th Annual Knoxville Croquet Tournament starting at 10:30 a.m., Sunday, May 17, on the grounds of The University of Tennessee RecSports Field Complex across from Dead End BBQ off Sutherland Avenue, Knoxville. Registration will begin at 10:30 a.m. followed by the gourmet brunch and tournament. “Participation is open to the
public, and no experience is necessary to enjoy the event’s relaxed, easy-to-learn game of croquet,” Michael Torano, Knoxville Opera marketing and public relations director, said. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “We are having a phenomenal gourmet brunch and access to the UT sports fields, which are generally closed to the public.” Participants may register to play solo or with a partner, or they may choose to attend and mingle in support of the arts organization, Torano said. The tournament is a fundraiser for Knoxville Opera Guild, the largest fundraising arm for
Knoxville Opera, he said. “They raise money for Knoxville Opera itself for everything — its productions and vast educational outreach programs,” he said. The tournament was the brainchild of KOG event chairwoman Audrey Duncan, who started it 11 years ago when she was on the KOG board. “Everyone is encouraged to come up with [fundraising event] ideas,” Duncan said. Originally from England, where her husband played croquet, she suggested the tournament. See CROQUET on Page 6B

FHS, Bearden grads to ‘celebrate’ at Cool Sports; HVA grads ‘at home’
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Though rivals in sports, Farragut and Bearden high schools are collaborating to make graduation night safe while keeping costs down in planning their annual overnight funfests. Both schools’ overnight graduation events — Farragut’s Graduation Celebration (11:30 p.m. to 5 a.m.) following its Saturday evening, May 16, graduation ceremony (7:30 p.m. start) in Thompson-Boling Area, and Bearden’s Grad Night (11 a.m. to 5 a.m.) after its Friday evening,
May 15, ceremony (8 p.m. start) in T-BA — are being held in Cool Sports Home of the Icearium in Farragut. “Bearden’s there on Friday night, we’re there on Saturday night, so that makes us have the ability to share some costs with Bearden, which has been very helpful,” saving “probably close to $1,500 to $2,000,” Charlotte Jensen, FHS Graduation Celebration Committee chair, said. “We split the costs of a lot of things like rentals,” Missy Holladay, chair of BHS Grad Night Committee, said. “… We set it up and they take it down.”
Meanwhile, Hardin Valley Academy’s 2015 graduates took part “in a survey” and voted “in a landslide” to stay at home and enjoy their final Graduation Celebration moments together in HVA gymnasium, Lori White, event chair, said. It follows HVA’s graduation ceremony Saturday afternoon, May 16 (4:30 p.m. start), in T-BA. As of May 7, “We’re at 190,” Jensen said about FHS Class of 2015 participation. For those graduates paying at the door, cost is $50. Pre-registration is $35 by going to the main office by Friday or paying Kellie Ivens, FHS Senior Class principal and
assistant principal, during graduation practice Friday. Activities include “ice skating … dodgeball, volleyball, soccer. … rotating about every 30 minutes,” Jensen said. Also available will be “a rolling video game trailer” parked just outside of the building, Jensen said. Drawings of graduates’ names will result in “big prizes.” Various games including “casino,” which includes blackjack and roulette, and “bingo” pay off in tickets for a chance at “smaller prizes,” Jensen said. To be a part of FHS Graduation Celebration, graduates
must be at Cool Sports no later than midnight. At HVA, “Some space outside” will feature “a rock climbing wall,” White said. “The kids arrive from 10 to 11 p.m. … If they’re close” to arriving after 11 p.m., “We’ll cut them a break and let them in.” However, “If they’re not there by 11 and they already signed up, we start calling their parents,” White added. “Because their parents … need to know if their graduate didn’t arrive.” Graduates can purchase tickets in advance until noon, See GRADS on Page 3B

Chess team state wins for FMS, FHS ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut Middle and Farragut High School chess teams brought home wins from Tennessee State Scholastic Chess Tournament, both finishing undefeated with perfect 4-0 scores. “Both Farragut Middle School and Farragut High School teams played excellent chess,” Dean Lee, Tennessee Chess Association Region 1 coordinator, said. Tennessee State Scholastic Chess Tournament, which took place March 28 on Tennessee Tech University campus, Cookeville, began in 1992 and is one of the most competitive scholastic team chess matches in the Southeast, Lee said. Meanwhile, Farragut Primary and Farragut Intermediate schools’ chess teams went home with wins at a regional competition. FPS Chess Team, which had a perfect 4.0 score, won the championship in the primary section of the Region 1 state Scholastic Chess Tournament
March 7 at L&N STEM Academy. FIS won fourth place in the elementary section of that tournament, Lee said. On the high school level, FHS chess team members, seniors Jason Fu and Shreyas Muralidharan, junior Kevin Hong and sophomore Abraham Joo, competed against teams from Crossville Home School, White Station High School, Montgomery Bell Academy and Brentwood High School. “The team cleaned house against the extremely competitive field from Region 1I [Chattanooga], Region III [Nashville] and Region IV [Memphis,]” Lee said. “The entire Farragut team played exceptionally well,” Kunlun Hong, FHS chess coach, said. “Nobody expects us to win it at all because there were five other teams better than us. “We had two members of the team win every game, and all the members won or drew key games that allowed us to beat other teams with much higherSee CHESS on Page 6B
Make YOU a priority in 2015
Q: I hear a lot of discussions at the dog park about pets being overweight. From a veterinarian’s point of view, could you speak to that? S.P., Farragut A: The obesity epidemic in America is definitely affecting our pets. The last Stephanie n a t i o n a l Myers study in Ask 2012 estithe Vet mates 56% of dogs and cats are overweight or obese. Unfortunately in our office, I would say those estimates match up with our patient population. Obesity is defined as being 20% or more over the normal weight. Due to great differences in sizes and breeds of dogs, it may be difficult for some pet owners to know the ideal body weight for their pet. We use a
few different ways to gauge a pet’s ideal weight. You should be able to feel your pet’s ribs, but should not be able to see them. When you stand above or behind your pet, you should be able to see a waist. Neither dogs nor cats should have a rounded or enlarged abdomen. Being overweight or obese can lead to medical problems for your pet, such as diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease. In cats, obesity can also lead to a severe, even fatal liver condition called hepatic lipidosis. Obesity in our pets is occurring for multiple reasons. Our pets have become more sedentary, with most pets staying indoors more and exercising less. Pet owners sometimes believe that food equals love, so we give extra snacks and overfeed them to pamper them. There are medical reasons, such as hypothyroidism, that can cause our pets to gain weight. Most of the time, it’s quite simple – the pet is consuming more calories that are being expended.
For your pet to lose weight, first see your veterinarian to rule out medical problems that could be contributing to your pet’s weight gain. Your veterinarian can help you set a target weight for your pet, and plan a safe diet and exercise schedule for your pet. A diet of fewer calories and increased exercise to burn more calories is ultimately necessary for weight loss. A healthy pet is a happy pet. Yes, it will take some time and effort to help your pet become healthier and stay healthy. Yes, your pet may beg for more food. You may provide healthy, low calorie, and low fat snacks, such as small bites of lean meats or vegetables. Walking with your pet several times per week can also be a great way to spend quality time with him or her, while helping them lose weight at the same time.
Grads
based on drawings, White said. White was not sure of an HVA graduate participation count. For Grad Night among BHS graduates (220 signed up as of May 11) 12:30 a.m. is the arrival deadline, Holladay said. Cost is $25 in advance, check or cash, to be paid – with a signed permission slop from a parent required – at BHS West Mall Office during school hours. Cost at the door also $25 (cash only) with signed slip required. Bearden entertainment is a combination of “karaoke” and
“deejay,” Holladay said. With a “90s theme” based on class vote, Grad Night will reflect the 1990s in music, movies “and posters as decorations,” Holladay said. Also unique to BHS is “bubble soccer,” where participants wear a plastic bubble covering their arms and the trunk of their body. Top Grad Night prizes include a miniature refrigerator and “laptops” and are awarded based on a drawing, Holladay said.
“… I have to throw out a big ‘thank you’ in to the administrative team here [led by principal Sallee Reynolds],” Puckett added. “They have been awesome, they have worked with me. They have been very supportive. … The teachers and the entire staff here has been fantastic.” While saying he’s had “a lot of good students” to work around
at HVA, Puckett added that during his eight school years in KSC security, “I’m seen a downward spiral in the lack of respect towards authority. That’s my biggest concern.” About retiring, Puckett said, “It’s a bittersweet thing. … I’m just ready to move on and see what God has in line for me next.”

Friday, May 15, in the school office ($25). Price at the door Saturday night is $40. “We have a mechanical bull,” White said about unique activities. To win prizes, “We play all these crazy minute-to-win-it games … like trying to blow a ping pong ball across a table with a straw,” White said. Larger prizes including “an iPad, a Kendall … and lots of gift cards” will be awarded

safety and security of our children, it has been very rewarding. “There’s not a day that I come to work that I don’t feel blessed because I’ve had an opportunity to make a difference,” he added. Moving to HVA from A-E, ”I requested it as they were building the school,” Puckett said.

FPS Round-ups help families prepare for next school year
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut Primary School families got ready for the 2015-2016 school year by attending roundups for kindergarten, pre-kindergarten and preschool. Families gathered Tuesday, April 7, for FPS round-up. Amanda Johnson, public affairs specialist with Knox County Schools, said all elementary schools in its system held such round-ups for the 2015-2016 school year. A voluntary pre-kindergarten, Title 1 preschool and Head Start schools round-up, when the schools will accept applications, began Monday, April 13. To attend pre-kindergarten, children must be 4 years old on or before Aug. 15 and meet eligibility guidelines established by Tennessee Department of Education. Once Farragut parents signed in, they registered their children for school in the cafeteria and visited classrooms. Some parents picked up their kindergarten packets early while others picked up their packets at the April 7 event, FPS principal Gina Byrd said. “It’s gone great,” Byrd said. “We’ve had a very good turnout. I think a lot of media coverage has helped with that. “We’ve had classrooms open, so teachers could answer questions parents might have; and children were able to meet kindergarten teachers,” Byrd said. “That helped alleviate some of the fears.” Farragut Primary is looking at having about 320 kindergarten students in the fall, she said. “We’re good to go for next year,” Byrd said, adding she expects the school to have 16 kindergarten classrooms next school year.

“That’s a full house,” she added. For many families, the event was their first round-up. Such was the case with Beth Floyd, who said her first two children were home-schooled, but her son, Caleb, will start kindergarten at FPS.
Although she said the experience was nerve-wracking for her, it was exciting for Caleb. Rachael Bennett said she did not attend the round-up with her first child. “This is my second child going

The farewell wearing ceremony Spring is what I call ex-husband season. Mine was always unpredictable and the only thing predictable about him was his unpredictability. Before you unconsciously store the warm sweaters and knits that are for colder days, to m a k e room in your closet for your spring c l o t h e s , Pam remember how Young ex-husMake it b a n d y Fun! spring’s weather can be and join me in a few Farewell Wearing Ceremonies. What’s a Farewell Wearing Ceremony? It was coined by my good friend Krista. She’s very organized and she always looks great. I see her once a week because we sing in a chorus together. She shared with me this fabulous idea she partakes in regularly to keep her wardrobe reflecting just what she loves and therefore wears. I just had to tell you about it, before you unconsciously store your warmer clothes that’ve seen better days. Krista doesn’t celebrate the Farewell Wearing Ceremony just
during spring or when the seasons change, but it’s a recurring event for her. She’s always looking for items of clothing she doesn’t wear regularly (those articles in your closet or dresser drawers, you keep passing over for various reasons, ending up picking something you really want to wear). Say she chooses a blouse she hasn’t worn in a couple of months, she puts it on and wears it for the day to wherever she goes out in public. (She often wears such garments to our chorus rehearsals and had a jacket that was being worn for its Farewell Wearing when she told me about this.) During the day of wearing the blouse, she remembers as much about it as she can; where she bought it or who gave it to her. She thinks about all the times she has worn it, and if there were special occasions she remembers wearing it and she pulls up specifics about those events and relishes the fun she had. She talks to it and thanks it for its service. Saved by a Compliment At the end of the day, the blouse goes in the Salvation Army bag, but here’s the best part. She informs the garment that she’s wearing for the last time, that IF, during the day, someone compliments it, it gets a temporary reprieve! (She didn’t tell me how much time the compliment buys, but I suppose that’d be an individual thing.)
So before you pack those sweaters and jackets away to make room for your spring wardrobe, why not try Krista’s idea? As spring gets closer to summer and the weather is more predictable, you’ll have a nice collection of garments that need to take part in a Farewell Wearing Ceremony. Mother Nature’s Closet Don’t you love the change in seasons? I like to think of the trees in my yard as people. I’ve got a flowering cherry tree that’s all decked out in her new dress right now and in another couple of days all the trees will be dressed in a multitude of shades of green. We can learn from Mother Nature. She gets rid of the old, worn out garments of last year, and dons new clothes in the spring. Wouldn’t it be great to get all new clothes every spring? I don’t have Mother Nature’s limitless budget for all new clothes, but for every Farewell Wearing Ceremony victim, I’ve promised myself a new spring garment. For more from Pam Young go to www.cluborganized.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized and ways to lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.

to Farragut Primary,” Bennett said. “My first one is going to be in the second grade this fall.” Xiaoying Shi, who brought her daughter, Rachel Mao, said the
event gave her and father, Jiatu Mao, the opportunity to see what a U.S. kindergarten class was like. “It’s totally different from a Chinese classroom,” Shi said. Teresa Puterbaugh, vice president of FPS Parent-Teacher Association, said the round-up
gave parents a chance to learn about the PTA and to win a raffle for some spirit teamwear. “We’re here tonight representing the PTA, trying to get parents involved for next year,” Puterbaugh said.

rated players,” Hong added. “It was very fulfilling to finally see our hard work come to fruition with our win.” For FHS’s chess team’s efforts, each member received a four-year Academic Service Scholarship of $4,000 per year for a total value of $16,000 from TTU. On the middle school level, this marks the second year Farragut Middle’s team won the Junior High School level for ninth grades and lower, Lee said. During the competition, FMS members, seventh-graders Forest Chen and Kevin Wang, and eighth-graders Kevin Chen and Will Hong, competed against 16 teams from all four regions of the state, Lee said. FMS faced teams from Oak Ridge High, Douglass K-8, White Station Middle School and Campbell Home School. “The 2014 FMS Team’s 3.5-0 score was our best tournament

record,” Feng Chen, FMS team coach, said. “We had to knock out a tough team from University School of Nashville to win the championship last year. So, we were both surprised and satisfied to see a perfect 4-0 performance in 2015.” March 7, the team won the Region 1 tournament. Lee said only four teams from each region qualified to compete in the state tournament. “Our team, along with Jefferson Middle School, Webb Middle School and Oak Ridge High School, represented our region and advanced to the final,” he said.

Duncan said she has found the game is popular in the United States and Canada as well. Ticket prices for the tournament begin at $100 and can be purchased online, he said. “The croquet tournament allows us to gather and enjoy fellowship as a community while enjoying some friendly competition for a worthy cause,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to strengthen our support base and end the 2014-2015 season with a bang.” Knoxville Opera has an education program made up of two components, Opera 101 and the in-school performances, Torano said. As part of that outreach, it performed “Carmen” in January to Farragut Middle School students. Last year, 100 players took part in the tournament on the estate grounds of Pete and Cindi DeBusk. The lively tournament consists of two-player teams who will proceed through up to five wickets, Torano said. Along with playing croquet on the green, attendees will enjoy the brunch and high tea, raffle prizes, a bocce game and vintage automobiles, he said. And, they can participate in the vintage costume contest, with the judging panel consisting of special guests Mary Lynn Majors

WEICHERT, REALTORS® Advantage Plus
Participates in Run for the Classics Event supporting Paideia Academy Knoxville, Tenn. / May 1, 2015 – On March 21 more than 400 people including students of Paideia Academy, their family members and friends were involved in the ninth annual Run for the Classics. WEICHERT, REALTORS® – Advantage Plus was represented for the 9th time by agent John R. Sadler, while agent Charlotte Bouyssou and her friend Meredith Mackay made their debut this year. The 5K run and 1-mile walk, held at Victor Ashe Park in Knoxville, is an annual event that raises funds for
Paideia Academy's Tuition Assistance program. “For almost 10 years this healthy and family friendly event has been helping make a good education financially possible for those in need,” said Principal BROKER® Jeff Grebe. “We couldn’t be more proud of John and Charlotte for donating their time and energy to raise money for this noble cause. This year, over $10,000 was raised from the event.” See WEICHERT on Page 9B
