Armed Forces Day Saturday, May 18 ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Once a holiday that drew crowds to watch parades and celebrate the United States military’s state of preparation, as well as learn how each branch serves this country overseas and on U.S. soil, Armed Forces Day is fading in the eyes of many Knox Countians. Lt. Cmdr. Bob Cosby, Farragut High School senior naval science instructor for Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, recalls Armed Forces Day celebrations while active in the U.S. Navy. While on base, he said he remembers attending picnics during Armed Forces week. Something so simple, yet so meaningful to the sailors to “break the monotony.” He once attended the annual “Fleet Celebration,” or “Fleet Week,” in New York City in 1995. “New York City basically throws us a party every year. It was a really unique
celebration. They treated us very well and took care of the sailors,” Cosby said. Both Cosby and Master Sgt. Jimmy Johnson FHS NJROTC naval science instructor, spark lights in their students’ eyes to serve their country after graduating. Out of 17 graduation seniors, eight of them plan on going into a branch of the Depart-ment of Defense. “We just want them to be successful,” Cosby said. Due to finals, the school is unable to have any sort of celebration during Armed Forces Week. However, an awards ceremony took place for the students on May 2 for all of their accomplishments of the past school year. Bill Coker, FHS Class of 1945, served in the U.S. Navy from 1942 to 1946 during World War II. Unfortunately, he has never had the opportunity to participate in an Armed Forces Day celebration, he laughingly said, “But we See FORCES on Page 3A
Bearden High School chosen for PLD program ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Chosen as one of only two Knox County high schools — one of just 10 K12 public schools countywide — to have each of its estimated 2,000 students equipped with electronic Personalized Learning Devices beginning next school year, Bearden High School is in a unique position. Funded entirely by Knox County Schools, “I think we’re on the cutting edge as far as nationally,” said Dr. John Bartlett, BHS
principal, after his school earned the “1:1” learning device honor following a 15-minute student-led “School Technology Challenge” presentation before a KCS panel of judges March 18. “It’s terribly exciting.” “These devices will take the place of textbooks,” Bartlett added, estimating the value of BHS’s 1:1 PLD technology as “real close to $1 million.” “For a school this size, at 2,000, I’ve done some looking online trying to find a school of 2,000 that’s already done 1-to-1.
There’s not very many of them. Not in Tennessee, not nationally. It’s revolutionary. ... But I realize the responsibility.” Bartlett said he’s looking to communicate with any fellow principal of a similar sized or larger school nationwide that’s had 1:1 PLD technology experience. That would include “visiting their school, depending on where they are,” he added. Meeting this month with the other nine Knox K-12 schools selected, Bartlett said common PLD technology would be chosen from
those meetings. Hoping to have similar PLD technology to West Valley Middle School, another of the 10 schools chosen that is a major feeder to BHS, “We may end up with everybody on the same page, or it may just be the elementary on one page, and all the middle and high school on another page,” Bartlett said. “I think we’ll end up with laptops, to be honest with you. I don’t think we need iPads,” Bartlett See PDL on Page 2A

Despite months of work by Farragut Schools Education Relations Committee, attempting to coordinate volunteers who would assist Farragut area schools in the learning process, some disheartening news was presented May 7. Attempting to get at the heart of the matter concerning “community engagement in schools,”
Mark Littleton, SERC chair, reported highlights of his recent communication with Scott Bacon, Knox County Schools supervisor of school partnerships, during SERC’s monthly first Tuesday meeting in Farragut Town Hall boardroom. Referencing school security as a “sensitive, hot topic” following the kindergarten murders last December in Connecticut, “One See SERC on Page 5A

Concerned business owner Sam Patel voiced his opinion about the proposed hotel/motel tax during the May 9 Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting. “I really oppose this new tax,” said Patel, owner of Country Inn & Suites, 805 North Campbell Station Road. “On paper this tax
looks great. In reality it’s going to hurt not only our business but also surrounding businesses that benefit from our guests. “The vote went through without proper notification of the tax … You should have approached us and at least told us how it impacts us.

Moore keynotes Rotary ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Vacant buildings within town of Farragut limits was a curiosity point for one member of The Rotary Club of Farragut. But a sore point for another RCF member, a Farragut businessman, as two local real estate experts were asked about Farragut’s vacant building status as featured speakers during the club’s regular Wednesday meeting, April 24, in Fox Den Country Club. Roger M. Moore, managing director with Sperry Van Ness/R.M. Moore LLC, said he agreed with Aaron Schmissrauter, owner of Restaurant Linderhof in Farragut Towne Center, about the state of vacant buildings adjacent to Ingles and around Schmissrauter’s business. “I agree, Ingles shouldn’t be the way it is down there ... I think it’s just ownership’s decision on how they want to keep their property,” said Moore, also joined by Suzy Trotta, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Wallace & Wallace, 124 N. Winston Road. Saying Ingles owns all buildings in Farragut Towne Square, Schmissrauter added, “It’s a sore spot there. They’re not really actively trying to lease it. They say they are. ... Is Farragut going

to take anything against Ingles, really force them to do anything with that?” Moore said, “I don’t know how proactive they can be about that. I think it’s just ownership’s decision on how they want to keep their property. ... Farragut can control a lot on the outside of things, but they can’t control a whole lot on the inside of things.” Moore asked Noah Myers, RCF member, co-owner of Myers Bros. Holdings and commissioner on Farragut Municipal
Planning Commission, about his thoughts. “You’ve got some owners that are in the grocery store business that are in the real estate business, and so I think it’s just the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing,” Myers said. “It’s just not a priority for them.”
policereports • May 9: Knox County Sheriff’s Office responded to a Smith Road address on a theft call. The call was prompted by the victim receiving a telephone call from a friend, who passed a construction site on which the victim had been working, asking if someone was supposed to be picking up his Bobcat. The victim advised police that no one had permission to remove the Bobcat. The witness was able to provide a description of the suspect’s vehicle and a partial license plate number. • May 6: Police were advised by a Rockwell Farms Lane resident of the break-in to her vehicle that was parked at The Rush fitness center off Canton Hollow Road. The victim told police she discovered the break-in when she came out of the gym following a workout. Missing was the victim’s purse and other property valued at about $800. • May 5: Police were called to Kohl’s department store in Farragut in response to a shoplifting attempt. Complainant stated the suspect came into the store and was observed concealing store property into a large black purse the suspect was carrying. The suspect then left the store without paying for the items
and was confronted by the complainant. The suspect dropped the purse and fled in a maroon Dodge minivan. All the items were recovered. • May 4: A Derby Run Drive man reported to police someone he had come work for him for a couple of days stoles some money out of his wallet. Reported loss was $400. • May 3: A representative of Kroger Marketplace off Brooklawn Street in Farragut reported to police an unknown suspect picked up a bag of rings that had dropped to the ground and left with them. Complainant stated the victim dropped the rings off at the jewelry store inside of Kroger Marketplace. The jeweler finished cleaning the rings and put them in her pocket and went outside the store to smoke a cigarette. As the jeweler exited the store, she dropped the bag of rings and the suspect picked them up. Value of the loss is $4,000. • May 3: A Concord Road woman reported to police an unknown suspect had broken the door off her storage barn and took a chainsaw and a Lincoln welding machine. Value of the loss is about $750.

son that should stop.� Patel continued to say that with the hotel’s current tax rate being 14.25 percent, three percent lower than that in Knoxville, many travelers choose to stay in Farragut. “If they see a huge tax rate increase, they are going to stop staying in this area,� Patel said. “Hotels are the first area [municipalities] start to tax because they think ‘we’re not affecting the local community.’ This impacts everyone. Families in this area send their friends and relatives to stay here, and we have churches that we direct bill.� Another point Patel made is that visitors who are doing business in other parts of Knox County may choose to no longer stay in Farragut hotels, thus not boosting the local economy. “I might start staying at Cedar Bluff or Papermill,� Patel said. “Why would I drive back to Farragut to go to Kroger or Ingles? One goal of Farragut is to increase the local economy. We want to build a positive reputation for the town of Farragut [as a business friendly community]. If we go down this road, it’s going to put a bad taste in the mouths of business owners.� Mayor Ralph McGill agreed the town of Farragut should have notified area hotels of the proposed tax. “I agree with you — we should have sent a letter,� McGill said. “However, we have been talking about this for two or three years. We have to have a second reading. The purpose of getting together is to get all of us on the same page.� The Farragut Business Alliance will host a community forum to discuss the hotel/motel tax at 8:30 a.m., Thursday, May 16.

celebrated at the end of the War!â€? Although many of the most well known Armed Forces organizations in this area are not celebrating this historic holiday, Ben Atchley Veterans Home refuses to look past it. In fact, they have some special things planned for their residents Saturday, May 18. The East Tennessee Corvette Show group is hosting a public showing at Ben Atchley from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday morning. There is a party for just the residents and their families to celebrate with food and music after the showing. “What’s a better way than to celebrate with the veterans themselves,â€? said Ginny Howe, Ben Atchley activity director. Ginny’s favorite part about celebrating Armed Forces Day is to “see their smiles and brighten their faces at a party just for them ‌ to honor them ‌ makes planning an event like this worthwhile.â€? FHS alumnus Stephanie Jordan’s father, Luther Cole, is a World War II veteran and resident at Ben Atchley. He is thankful for any kind of celebration for veterans, because a genuine thanks does not seem to come around as often as it should.

reunions with his unit over the years. Whenever Cole was honored, Jordan remembers her father coming home “touched and grateful.� Veteran Gus Johnson, quartermaster for the Veterans of Foreign Wars of Knoxville, looks forward to their celebration this
weekend as well. “We have a live band coming in to play — the Steel Eagles. They are a part of the 278 National Guard Unit, stationed here in Knoxville,� Johnson said. He added, “[Veterans] don’t really ask for much. We just provide something to do.�

ourview: No new tax Taxes are part of life in the United States. We are charged taxes on about everything we consume. Everything from vehicles to food generates taxes for the Town, the County, the state and the country. Generally, when taxes are levied on consumers, an explanation focused on a need for the revenue those taxes would generate is provided in some form to validate the raising or creation of a new tax. For example, when Knox County needed funds to build Hardin Valley Academy it increased the amount of Wheel Tax each vehicle owner paid in order to generate additional funds. When Knox County government needs more money to fund schools, police or other services it provides for its citizens, it raises Property Tax to generate revenue. The City of Knoxville does the same for its citizens. The town of Farragut also levies taxes on its citizens, visitors and businesses. Those include beer taxes, liquor taxes, cable TV taxes and the list goes on. Farragut also operates with no debt. The majority of Farragut revenue comes from local and state Sales Tax. Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen introduced a new tax aimed at hotel/motel owners during a workshop prior to its April 25 meeting. At that same meeting, the Board voted 4-1 on first reading to implement an ordinance creating a 3 percent Farragut Hotel/Motel Tax. The second and final reading of the ordinance will take place at the Board’s May 23 meeting. The funds will be deposited into the Town’s general fund and are not earmarked for any special project. Basically, the Town is creating a tax because it can and not because it has a need. The Town’s FY2013 budget shows $7.5 million in revenue with $6.2 million in expenditures leaving $1.3 million in excess. Taxing without need is not in the best interest of the Town or the businesses to which it is home. With the economy in the shape it is today, travelers are looking to vacation with their families in the most economical way possible. Businesses also are looking for ways to decrease costs of sending representatives to this area on sales calls and construction/consulting housing. Three percent can mean a lot to families trying to make do in hard times and still enjoy traveling. Owners of the seven, soon to be eight, Farragut hotels/motels are opposed to the ordinance saying that offering rooms at a rate lower than their Knoxville competitors is a win-win for the town of Farragut. The 3 percent savings keeps travelers staying in their hotels and motels, and spending in the town of Farragut at its grocery stores, retail businesses and restaurants. There are other ways for the Town to generate revenue if the need arises. The Town still could annex the corner of Canton Hollow Road and Kingston Pike in accordance to the Urban Growth Plan agreed upon by the City of Knoxville, Knox County and the town of Farragut, which is home to many Sales Tax-generating businesses and would incur no extra cost to consumers. The Town should not pass the Farragut Hotel/Motel Tax on second reading. There are other ways to generate revenue that don’t impact citizens’ and consumers’ pockets.
guestview: Gov. Bill Haslam The 108th General Assembly adjourned on April 19 finishing up its business for the first half of the two-year legislative session. In the spirit of efficient and effective government, this was the earliest the Legislature has adjourned s i n c e 1 9 9 0 , which is notable. I am g r a t e f u l Bill for Lt. Gov. Haslam R o n Tennessee Ramsey’s, R-BlountGovernor ville, and H o u s e Speaker Beth Harwell’s, RNashville, leadership and appreciate Majority Leaders Mark Norris, R-Collierville, and Gerald McCormick, R-Chattanooga, for guiding our legislative proposals through the process. Through working together with the House and Senate, we accomplished a lot this year. Legislators overwhelmingly approved our balanced budget
proposal that includes a continued focus on strategic education investments and continues to cut taxes. The budget lowers the sales tax on food from 5.25 percent to 5 percent, and it lowers the burden of the Hall income tax on seniors. We raised the exemption level of the Hall tax for citizens 65 and older from $26,200 to $33,000 for single filers and from $37,000 to $59,000 for joint filers. We also funded important capital projects in higher education and made investments to address capacity and equipment issues at our technology centers. We also established WGUTennessee, an online competency-based program aimed at helping adults who have some college credits to complete their degrees. These investments support our “Drive to 55” initiative to raise the percentage of Tennesseans who have post-secondary degrees from 32 percent — the current rate — to 55 percent by 2025. While making a number of important investments, we were also intentional about saving for the future by putting $100 mil-
lion into the state’s Rainy Day Fund. That will bring it to a total of $456 million by July 1, 2014, as we work to build it back up to pre-recession levels. In addition to the budget, there were several significant bills that were passed. We strengthened Tennessee’s already attractive business climate by reforming our outdated worker’s compensation system. The new law simplifies the process and makes it equitable for both the employer and the employee. We also beefed up public safety by giving law enforcement officials more tools when it comes to fighting gang violence by clarifying and simplifying the law. I am proud of what we accomplished together this session and look forward to turning my attention to visiting communities across the state this spring and summer. I’ll continue to focus on the issues that are important: jobs, education, an efficient and effective state government and public safety. Feel free to let me know what is on your mind. I look forward to hearing from you at bill.haslam@tn.gov/

• Yes, I’d like to commend the farragutpress for the fair and balanced way in which they have covered the issue involving the gun ordinance. I think that you’ve tried to show both sides of the story and you’ve done a very balanced job. • The [former Mayor Eddy] Ford is very nice. Inside the property line there should be built a nice new 25-foot highway with a 5-foot bicycle riding lane and a 5-foot sidewalk-walking lane. This is the way things were built when Mr. Ford was mayor. This property would make a beautiful park for baseball, soccer, tennis, bicycle riding, football, and at some point, a nice swimming park. This would need lights and other walkways. Farragut doesn’t need any more businesses with the vacant build-
ings they now have. Any place you go, the signs are so small you cannot read them. Wonder when they will pass a law against flying the American flag? We hope they never do unless it’s replaced with a large Confederate flag. The Union won the war but look at the casualties. • It’s been raining for a couple of months and I’m surprised people in the Farragut area, as well as the whole state of Tennessee, do not know if it’s raining they need to have their car lights on. That seems to be a big problem in this area and I just don’t understand why people can’t remember when it’s raining lights need to go on, as well as using windshield wipers when the lights go on, it’s automatic. • I read the comment in presstalk last week about the
lawn-mowing problem in Campbell Station Library Park. I noticed last week that the large lawnmower goes so close around the trees and memorial markers that it almost scrapes them. The mower also throws so much grass clippings on the tree markers and the mulch surrounding the trees that it really looks like a mess that you can’t even read the markers and they don’t seem to blow the clippings off. It seems like they should use a small lawnmower around these trees, mowing around the mulch would be more appropriate than using that large mower. • I just found out about the new proposed hotel/motel tax. How is raising taxes going to attract new businesses and tourists to travel to Farragut? This tax makes no sense at all.

thing that Mr. Bacon expressed was that that might have put an artificial damper or cloud on the whole topic of just having community involvement,” Littleton said. Moreover, with the exception of Kay Wellons, Farragut Intermediate School principal, “I don’t think we really felt like we had found the school that was saying they could use this type of engagement,” Littleton said. However, committee member Nancy Wentz said, “Farragut Middle School said if anybody wanted to teach after school classes, they’d be willing. “I think we’ve all struggled a bit with how do you do this, how do you make the link?” Littleton said. “How do you find the people? “And is there a model in the state or the county or the nation that we could look to for any group of community members. And school administrators and teachers that are making this kind of link?” While background checks on any prospective school volunteers would be required, Littleton reported that KCS “is completing negotiations with a vendor to handle background checks,” meaning “the volunteers will not have to own this process.” However, committee member Russell Barber pointed out that “vendor” background checks for prospective volunteers apparently would be at county expense. “Somebody’s going to have to
say, ‘OK, we want them as a volunteer,’ because there’s going to be an expense involved then,” Barber added. “The schools are going to have to pay for it, I would think.” Whenever KCS “would agree that some people could be on campus, then you’ve got to have a policy on how you’re going to do that,” Littleton said, referring to a specific policy “issued in September 2012” he received from Bacon. “I haven’t read through the whole policy,” Littleton added. Committee member Julia Craze, former Farragut Primary School principal, pointed out “you can go online to Knox County Schools” website (www.knoxschools.org)” to obtain the policy. Littleton added, “It’s found under “instructional goals and objectives ... it’s called ‘School Volunteers.’” Bacon recalled examples based on “his own personal knowledge,” according to Littleton, “That schools in our area are using people to come in as guest speakers, guest lecturers. “In his opinion they’re being called in by specific faculty members;’ of course that would be with the approval of the principals,” Littleton added. KCS does “recognize that there is a need at each campus, at each school, to have a site coordinator to broker and coordinate and help facilitate any volunteer efforts,” Littleton said. Concerning guests entering a given school, Craze said that when the vendor is hired and whenever schools have a site coordinator in place, “When
someone comes through the door, are they going to say, ‘are your fingerprints on file?’” As for possible volunteer success stories within other Tennessee counties, Bacon “referenced Davidson County and the metro schools in Nashville ... he felt like he had heard of some links between their various academies and various subject matter experts,” Littleton said. Wentz said, “Farragut schools are lucky in the fact that they have a large parent-volunteer basis.”

Peyton Givens, BHS sophomore, aided in the presentation and was one of an estimated 75 students contributing. “I said, ‘It’s a need that we’re going to have to have because the future’s coming,’” Givens said. “‘Eventually, everything’s going to be electronic here. We need to get our school in front. We need this to help our school succeed in the long run.’” Getting his faculty familiar with the new technology will require “10 additional days of inservice” training this summer, Bartlett said. Even before earning the PLD designation, “We’ve been laying the groundwork for over a year at Bearden High School to get us fully wireless in this building,” Bartlett said. “Why do I have kids with 75-pound backpacks running around my building when they could do it all with an iPad or laptop?”

Art in the Park recognizes winners ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
To get his Best of Show-winning photograph, titled “Blue Skies – Hackney Mill,” Ambler Brown took 271 images and went to Hackney Mill three different times. Along with other winners in the paintings and photography categories, Brown was recognized at the Farragut Art in the Park Reception & Gallery Sale Monday, April 29, at The Gallery | Renaissance Farragut. Brown shot photos on the Saturday of the Art in the Park weekend. “I was there at dawn, got there right at 7 that morning, Saturday morning, went back about 11:30 and then back about 6:30 in the evening and just shot different angles and different light configurations that, to me, gave me the best look that I was hoping for,” he said. From 271 images, he whittled it down to 70 before enlisting his wife for help in the selection process, he said. Brown said he believed the winning photo came from his mid-day session. “The thing I like about the image is the color: the red roof, the green of the grasses and the
trees and the blue sky and the white clouds,” he said. Going into the competition, Brown planned to snap photos at the location multiple times, as the light changed, he said. “The thing about being a photographer is light changes constantly,” he said. “And one of the key elements in photography is seeing the light and knowing, or anticipating if you can, what it’s going to do and getting an angle, compositionwise, that’s pleasing to the eye.” Janis Wilkey took first place for her oil painting called “Hackney Mill.” She said she was trying to convey the peace and quiet of the place. “Right behind where I was standing was this really nice stream, and you could hear the water running the whole time,” she said. “And the new colors of the new foliage coming out on the trees, it was just a really nice, quiet spot.” Oil is Wilkey’s main medium, she said. “I just like how it feels under the brush,” she said. “I love the colors. You have really luscious colors, and it also gives you time to manipulate because it doesn’t dry immediately. And I like that. It gives you a little open time that you can work with it.”

Wilkey, of Chattanooga, said she has painted full-time for about 15 years now. “I was in real estate for many, many years in sales, and also I was a broker in charge of an office, so strictly business,” she said. “So when our kids got older See PARK on Page 13A

Putting aside all the intelligence, hard work and creative thinking from Farragut Middle School’s eighth-grade national championship trio of Nalin Varma, Austin Hoag and Parin Bhaduri, just looking at where they’re spending their $1,000 C-SPAN StudentCam first-prize winnings perhaps is the best indicator of success. “He [Parin] bought a Mac [computer] with it, I’m putting mine in the stock market,” said Austin after the StudentCam team was one of four FMS teams among 75 honored nationwide. C-SPAN brass arrived in their nationally recognized red bus for a ceremony, in front of the entire
FMS student body and parents, in Bob Henry Gymnasium Wednesday morning, May 7. As for Nalin’s $1,000, “I’m going to save it for college,” he said, as each of the three boys combined forces on their national championship video “Public Transportation in the Nation,” which is required to last between five and eight minutes, include “balanced points of view” and incorporate relevant C-SPAN video. Doug Hemmig, C-SPAN marketing representative who led the awards ceremony, emphasized that this FMS trio was the only middle school champion nationwide among all middle and high school awardees (about 2,000 See FMS on Page 11A

FHS, HVA, BHS rank in U.S. New’s state top 20 ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Breaking down “Silver” rankings of Farragut, Hardin Valley Academy and Bearden for their performances during the 2010-11 school year — silver based on being ranked from 501 to 2,290 among 21,035 public high schools nationwide — Farragut Schools Education Relations Committee came to some of its own conclusions. Based on 2013 U.S. News & World Report High Schools Rankings within Tennessee, HVA led at No. 10, followed by FHS at No. 13 and Bearden No. 14. “I personally congratulate Farragut and the other schools
for doing so well ... I feel like we can be proud of what our schools have accomplished,” said Mike Singletary, SERC committee member who compiled a report on U.S. News rankings presented during SERC’s Tuesday, May 7 meeting in Farragut Town Hall boardroom. Singletary’s U.S. News statistics outline stated that Farragut has 27.7 percent of students who scored as ready for college, which “is good for Tennessee schools.” Michael Reynolds, FHS principal, said about his students, “It’s a great honor to be selected, and I’m just so proud of the tremendous effort that our students and teachers have put forth. “And I think it not only reflects
on the high school, but also the contributions made by the elementary and intermediate and middle schools to the development of our students,” he added. “I think it’s a great reflection of what Knox County is doing overall.” Sallee Reynolds, HVA principal, said one key at her school is “working up to the level of expectations and not taking the easy way out. Some kids like to coast when they get to their senior year, but we’re pushing ours pretty hard so they’ll truly be ready for college.” That “push” includes “the number of advanced placement offerings that we have and that we push our kids to take,” Sallee
Reynolds added. In an e-mailed statement, Dr. John Bartlett, BHS principal, stated, “Of course, we are never satisfied with the top 15. Our teachers and students strive for educational excellence every day. As a result of that effort, we were ranked in the top 15 in the state and in the top five percent nationally. “The teachers, students, and community of Bearden High School deserve a top high because we have a great community,” he added. Singletary also presented schooldigger.com rankings, with Bearden on top locally at No. 7 statewide, followed by FHS at No. 8 and HVA at No. 10. Oak Ridge
was 14th. Despite the statistics and favorable comments, Singletary also reported, “There really is a lot of room for improvement ... we don’t need to sit around and pat ourselves on the shoulder. We need to continue to press for support and encouragement.” Concerning “preparedness for college” percentage, Singletary stated that FHS’s 27.7 “is 7 percentage points behind [Oak Ridge at 34.5] and about 60 points behind Hume-Fogg, a Nashville magnet school [at 92.9].” Bearden’s college preparedness percentage was 27.6, Singletary reported, while HVA’s was tops locally at 30.3.

WORKING JOE:
Rev. Victor Herron Multilingual minister charms customers
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Inspired to pursue multiple languages by his mother and a Latin teacher at Farragut High School, the Rev. Victor Herron makes good use of his fluent grasp of five secondary languages. One is Aramaic. “It is the prayer language of my church, the Syrian Orthodox Church,” said Herron, a 1971 FHS graduate who has been a Syrian priest for 30 years, most recently at a church in Kodak. “It’s an ancient language. It’s the language that Jesus spoke, and his disciples,” added Herron, who also oversees Syrian Orthodox churches in Cookeville and Black Mountain, S.C. While also “pretty good” in German, Greek and Arabic, Herron also has made use of his fluent Russian as a clerk at Prestige Cleaners in Farragut. “One of my Russian speaking customer here who is from Russia, when she picked up her things I thanked her and said goodbye to her in Russian,” using “the old word for comrade,” Herron said. “And she laughed and laughed and she said, ‘I haven’t heard that in so long.’ I think I have three Russian speaking customers,” he added. “What I have discovered is that when I make any effort at speaking someone else’s language, they light up and they appreciate it so much. They see someone making an effort to bridge a certain gap that exists between us.” While studying for the priesthood, “I studied Greek and

Hebrew and Aramaic,” Herron said. “I’ve been very fortunate to have met, and have friendships with, a number of people I could practice different languages with, that’s especially in the Orthodox Church, that’s a side benefit. “Because Orthodoxy tends to arrange itself in ethnic families, by virtue of being Orthodox for a long enough time, you meet people and hang out with people who speak Russian and who speak Greek and who speak Arabic,” he added. In addition to his fluent languages, “I also speak a little Serbian,” he said. “And I know some polite, conversational things in several other languages.” “If a Jeanie or something could grant me a wish, my wish would be to be fluent in all languages,” Herron added. “I think languages have kept people apart in many, many ways.” Herron said another motivating factor concerning languages came “from wanting to understand my own ancestral roots bet-
ter, which is Scottish and Irish. “That took me into an interest in the roots of language, and learning the roots of all Western languages” by his early 20s, Herron added. Having worked for Prestige since summer of 2010, Herron said his Farragut job is vital. “I’ve had my son in private schools since he was in kindergarten” who’s now in college, “and you can’t pay for those on what I would make just as a pastor,” he said. “So I’ve always had to have a second job.”
director of communications and public relations for Kroger’s Atlanta Division. “This home is a special and deserved gift for one of our own, and we applaud each person who took part in creating a new living space for Greg and his family.” Coleman, a Drug GM clerk who has been with Kroger for five years, is expected to move into his home in June 2013, along with his wife and baby. In addition to Coleman’s key presentation, Kroger donated $5,000 to Habitat for Humanity.

Whad’ya want? to Look younger or just not look older? I watched the Academy Awards and couldn’t wait to hear Barbra Streisand sing a tribute to her close friend Marvin Hamlisch. She sang The Way We Were and I wish she were the way she was. I’m not positive, but I think she’s had a facelift and bless her heart, she looked wonderful, but when she sang, her lips didn’t move! I love her genius as a singer, actor and producer, but I was disap- Pam p o i n t e d Young that she Make it put herFun! s e l f through that procedure. We’re the same age and she definitely looks younger than I do, but at least my lips move when I talk! What is it really with us women? Do we want to look younger or just not look older? When we were children I know we wanted to be older, that’s why we’d answer, “I’m seven and a half.” But we didn’t think about wanting to look older. I do remember having to show ID in my twenties because I looked younger than 21, but I didn’t have a desire to be or look older, because drinking wasn’t my thing and age really didn’t concern me. However, at about 35, I started seeing the first signs of looking older, as daring, stray, gray hairs began sprouting at my temples. I paid the kids a penny a hair to pull them. By the time I was 55 my offspring had moved on to better paying jobs and besides if they’d still been willing to work for me, I’d have been rendered 2/3s bald. At 60, I dyed my hair for the first time, but after about four years I let my real color grow out and the gray take over. I got tired of hearing a wolf whistle, turning around and shocking the life out of some young guy who thought he was going to get the attention of a young lassie only to find an old lady glaring at him. I actually prefer being a “Q-Tip” because the wolf whistles have stopped and I am officially invisible to the opposite sex. It’s a good thing. I think one big reason why we women are more aware of looking older is because we wear make-up and as we get older we end up having to use a magnifying mirror to see what we’re doing. I bought the one I have today at a garage sale and I swear it enlarges my face so much I can watch my cells divide. The thing even has lights and I asked the woman who was in her 70s why she was selling it. “It’s just too scary!” she replied. Men don’t need a magnifying mirror to shave and I think if they had to look into one of those mirrors every day, they’d be considering facelifts the same way women do. A couple of years ago, I was at a local Chamber of Commerce event and my neighbor had a little table of beauty products she was selling. I went up to her to say hello and she asked, “Would you like to try this wonderful hand scrub?” Before I could ask what a hand scrub was she took my hands and poured water over them and smeared about a teaspoon of gritty substance in my palm. “Rub your hands together real good,” she instructed. As I moved the sandy grit around as if I were rolling my hands in glee, she said, “Now hold your hands over this bowl and I’ll rinse them off.” Once they were rinsed, to my utter amazement, they felt as See YOUNG on Page 13A

The team of Maggie Olson, far right, Lauren Dickerson (beside Olson) and Delaney Weller (pink sweater) produced the video “Inefficient Government Spending.” Right: Presented a $3,000 check as C-SPAN StudentCam national champions in Middle School division by Doug Hemmig, C-SPAN marketing representative, far left, this Farragut Middle School eighth-grade trio was among those recognized during a special ceremony in Bob Henry Gymnasium May 7.

FMS had three other teams each place third among the 75 nationwide top finishers. “That’s outstanding,” Hemmig told the gathering. “We come here every year, it seems like. ... The reason we’re here is some of the wonderful work that your students have done over the past year.” Third place teams were Lauren Fiet, Eunice Baek and Tali Graham (StudentCam on “A Game of Risk” on the Middle East); Julia Hammon, Maggie Murr and Grace Shoffner (“Education Across the Nation”); plus Maggie Olson, Delaney Weller and Lauren Dickerson (“Inefficient Government Spending”).
About their work, which began early in the 2012-13 school year, “I was shocked to know how bad our roads and bridges are,” Parim said, adding that public transportation “helps our economy and the surrounding areas, and can help us solve climate change, too.” Austin said the task “was really hard, but it was also really rewarding.” Nalin praised the work of FMS teacher Karen Rehder, whose eighth-grade C-SPAN honors class annually participates in StudentCam. This year it was 19. “Mrs. Rehder is a very good teacher to be instructing us on this because she’s done it for several years,” Nalim said, giving an example of how Reeder advised the team about a potential mistake. “She really knows what’s going on, what makes a winning video and it’s just helps us along.”

smooth as a dolphin’s tummy! I was impressed as I dried on a paper towel. “Come over to my house some time and I’ll give you a free facial!” she invited. That’s when I really looked at her and realized she looked amazingly young and she had to be somewhere around my age! The next day I went for my free facial and walked out of her house with $497 in beauty care products for my face. I went from washing my face in the shower when I shampoo my hair, to preforming a ten minute, six-step beauty regime every night. Spending that kind of money compelled me to use the products, but six months later when it was time to fork out another wad, I gazed into my magnifying mirror of horror, and had to admit, I looked no different than I had before I’d scrubbed my hands at the Chamber of Commerce. One of the gifts of aging is we have more time to think about things. I’ve come to the conclusion that since my face is 70 years old, my husband’s face is 70 and most of our friend’s faces are in the 70 range, I’m just going to enjoy the faces in my life just as they are.
moments as Brooke, a 2006 FHS graduate, died in September 2006 due to heart-related complications. She was 18. During the 2004 season, “At one of the practices, she called us after we lost, and told us on coach Wallie [Culbreth’s] phone that we ‘needed to suck it up,’” said Austin Rhodes, a forward from the Class of 2005. “She pushed us. She was like a little sister to all of us. We loved her.
“Trust me, we all miss her still.” After Brooke’s scolding, that 2004 Farragut team went on to win the program’s second consecutive Class AAA state title. On the other hand, “She could always take the load off of very intense games,” said William Beuerlein, a multi-position player from the Class of 2008. “Even though she really wanted us to win and everything, I always felt like she had a way of lightening up the bench, helping us out. “Calling us out a little bit, but getting us going, too, in a positive
way,” Beuerlein added. A tribute to Brooke was announced to the crowd before gametime: “Anyone who knew Brooke knew she loved Farragut High School Soccer. She loved the game and especially the relationships she formed with the players. ... She was a gentle person with a fierce, competitive nature when ‘her boys’ hit the field. ...” Wallie Culbreth, Brooke’s father and longtime FHS boys soccer head coach, said, “It’s really exciting to have the guys come back as they do every year.”

and out of college – and we didn’t have any grandkids yet – I said, ‘I’m going to take this time to do something that I want to do,’ so I completely changed everything about my life, as far as my work. So I wanted this to be the work the rest of my life, so I could keep doing it for as long as I’m able.”

Café changes with seasons ■

The tentative date for the opening of a new Seasons Café location in Turkey Creek is May 28. The restaurant will be located at 11605 Parkside Drive and will mark the restaurant’s third location, with others in Farragut and Bearden. Deron Little, Seasons Café owner and executive chef, said he wanted the name of Seasons Café, which started in 2006, to represent what the business does. “That is two different things: utilizing the freshest ingredients of each season but secondly, we wanted people to enjoy the different seasons of their lives together around the dinner table,” he said. The restaurant changes its menu with each season. “Our tea changes, our water garnish, the menu, food menu, wine list,” he said. “We offer seasonal beers, and we also offer a very innovative drink menu from martinis to margaritas that are influenced by each season, that changes with each season.” The very look of the restaurant changes with the calendar, as well. “Our linen colors, our table centerpieces and ... we have a seasonal scent that we use in the restaurant,” he said. “There’s no other concept like

this. That’s what makes us very unique. It’s a different restaurant each season.” Centerpieces, white like snow, adorn tables in winter. “Now when we get into summer, the first thing I think about during summer is the beach,” he said. “... Our scent for the restaurant will be suntan lotion. The color of the napkins will be blue like the ocean.” Little said the restaurant has the “best hamburgers in town.”
It requires using both hands to eat it, he said. The Season’s Classic burger, Little’s favorite burger, is two patties on a toasted ciabatta roll, with two Swiss-cheese slices and caramelized onions between each patty, he said. “I said if I’m going to have a hamburger on the menu, it’s going to be the best, and I think that represents what we’re trying to do: a wide variety of food offerings from hamburgers to
New York strips to lamb,” he said. “Lamb is one of our biggest sellers also.” Little said the restaurant was lucky to have support from friends and patrons. “We take each day and each plate very seriously,” he said. “We don’t take anything for granted. I tell my employees the day we tell someone thank you for coming in and we don’t mean it from our heart is the day we’ll shut our doors.”
Weichert, Realtors celebrates anniversary

The anniversary open house happened in early May, but Weichert, Realtors Advantage Plus began in April 2008. Jeff Grebe, principal owner and broker, said the business finished last year in the top 10 offices in the Weichert, Realtors franchise system. The office, located at 114 Lovell Road, suite 102, has about 54 agents, he said, and serves Farragut, Knoxville and all the contiguous counties. “We’re primarily residential real estate,” he said. “We do some commercial, and we do
property management.” The timing of the initial opening was not the greatest, he said. “2008 was not exactly the best time to open a real estate company,” he said. “It was the latter part of 2008 where we really started locally seeing the signs of the real estate market taking a dip.” The business was up over 25 percent in unit sales in 2012 versus the previous year, he said. “This year, the first quarter has been strong as well, so we’re definitely improving year over year, and in 2008, ’09, ’10, it was more survival than it was really See WEICHERT on Page 2B

growing,” he said. “It was about surviving the downturn in the market, and we’ve grown every year. Our sales have grown by some percentage, even if it’s been small. Last year was our biggest growth.” The business holds career sessions for people looking into a career in real estate. For new hires, there is a comprehensive training program and a mentor program. “So we put an experienced agent with them to help them when they get started,” he said. The business focuses on hiring people who are new to real estate, he said. “I really do enjoy seeing peo-
ple grow in a new career, and some of my top agents have been agents that came into the business brand new with me years ago, so that’s gratifying to see them grow and succeed in a career,” he said. “I really enjoy this position of being a broker and owner and having the opportunity to reach their goals.” In real estate, new challenges and opportunities always present themselves, he said. “It’s kinda cliché, but it goes back to the American Dream,” he said. “And it’s the biggest purchase that most people make, so there’s a lot of potential challenges and stresses along the way, but when you help them succeed in their goal, there’s a lot of appreciation too.”

With his team down 3-1 in the Region 2-AAA semifinal against Powell Monday night and just three outs away from elimination, Farragut third baseman Duncan Pence decided to act, clobbering a two-run home run to left centerfield. The game went to extra innings, where the Farragut late-inning heroics continued. In the bottom of the eighth, centerfielder Jammer Strickland connected with a base hit up the middle to plate a run and make the Admirals (30-8) walk-off winners, 4-3. Before the late-inning comeback, Strickland said the mood in the dugout was down. “We were up against the wall the whole time,” Strickland said. “And we had a little talk with each other right before the fifth inning. And we said, ‘Hey, guys, we’ve been here before. We can do this.’ You’ve just got to believe in yourself because you’ve got to learn how to get punched in the face and get right back up and punch right
back.” Strickland’s game-winning hit came on a “fastball, middle away, about thigh high,” he said. “We can come back when we’re even down by that much and just come back and gut through it and win because last weekend was not easy at all in the district tournament,” he said. Admirals 4 “This just shows Panthers 3 that we’ve got a lot of fight, and we’re not going to give up.” Pence, a freshman, saw the ball well all night, hitting two singles and a double before the homer that tied it. “I felt pretty good,” Pence said. “At the beginning of the year, I didn’t do too great, and I’ve just been gaining confidence and gaining more and more and more.” Pence said he welcomes the opportunity to be in that gameon-the-line situation. “We were picking up on certain little things that the pitcher was doing, and I was reading that, See FHS BASEBALL on page 7B

Emilio Moore’s name might not have shown up in the box score but he had plenty to celebrate Friday night after Farragut High School won the District 4-AAA Tournament boys soccer championship. “This is my senior year and there was no way that I was going to miss this game,” Moore said after the Admirals outlasted Knoxville Catholic 1-0 in the district title match before a packed house at Farragut Soccer Stadium May 10. “I had a high ankle sprain and the doctor told me not to play. “I wasn’t going to miss the district finals.” Moore, a senior captain, had missed Farragut’s previous four games due to the injury. His effort symbolized the Admirals’ effort against the Irish in an elimination match. “Emilio Moore was a hero tonight,” Farragut head coach Wallie Culbreth said. “He’s missed the last four games and wasn’t supposed to play tonight. “He’s a senior and he’s one of my captains and he showed up and he made plays.” Farragut got the lead when Marvin Mendy scored in the 10th minute. Mendy’s marker was enough but the Admirals (17-3) had plenty of anxious moments against Catholic (13-61), which upset top-seeded Maryville in overtime in Thursday night’s semifinal game. The Irish’s 1-0 overtime victory in Blount County made Friday night’s title tilt an elimination match. The Rebels earned an automatic berth to this week’s

Late-inning wins have been the norm for Farragut High School's softball team this season and the Lady Admirals nabbed another comeback victory Monday night. “We've had a lot of comeback wins this year and we're 11 or 12-1 in one-run games,” Farragut head coach David Moore said after his team rallied for a 4-3 eight-inning win at Halls in the Region 2-AAA Tournament semifinals. “This was just a great wonderful team effort. “It was just a gutsy win.” Farragut (30-10) took its first lead of the game in the eighth when Hannah Leavell’s groundball plated Hannah Stephenson with the eventual winning run. Stephenson doubled to lead off the frame and took third when Halls pitcher Lexie Helm uncorked a wild pitch. “That was a happy groundball,” Leavell said. The Lady Red Devils (385) jumped out to an early lead with three runs in the bottom of the first. Halls, District 3-AAA regular-seaSee SOFTBALL on page 4B

on Hawks finish the season 24-9. About Catholic's six-run fifth, “That’s the way it goes, baseball’s a funny game,” said HVA head coach Kirk Renegar, who chose not to make any Hawks players available for post-game comment. “You’ve got to credit Catholic, they're a good baseball team. They had a couple of big knocks when they needed them. … We had a play to maybe get out of the inning, but it didn't happen for us. “I'll never be disappointed in our team, they’re a great group of young men, they played hard.” Sam Nelson’s walk, Blaine Harrison’s infield hit and a huge infield error followed that fifth inning pickoff, allowing two Irish runs for a 3-1 Catholic lead. Kole Cottam’s infield hit preceded Reed’s RBI single making it 4-1. Kearney’s sacrifice fly upped the KCHS lead to 5-1. After a hit-batter, Mason Sawicki’s RBI single made it 6-1.

Twice in the span of one inning, Knoxville Catholic overcame adversity for a big strikeout and a huge offensive outburst at Hardin Valley Academy. The Hawks tied Catholic 1-1 in the bottom of the fourth, as Irish pitcher Hunter Hayes dropped a toss covering first base with the bases loaded and two out. However, Hayes rebounded for a critical strikeout, as the senior staff ace went the distance while allowing six hits, three walks and one earned run with four strikeouts. Hayes did not allow an HVA hit until the fourth. Catholic was fueled by a sixrun fifth inning aided by a few Hardin Valley mistakes, despite getting its leadoff runner picked off first base to begin the frame, to win this Region 2-AAA semifinal 7-2 Monday evening, May 13. Mostly using his fastball and curveball, Hayes rated his performance “at about a B. I’ve got a great group of guys behind me, so I don't have to worry.” “We wanted to go out and give a senior a chance to prove himself. And Hunter studded up and stepped up,” said KCHS head coach Adam Sullivan, whose Irish, District 4-AAA Tournament runner-up, improved to 28-10 and faced 4-AAA regular season and tourney champ Farragut at FHS Wednesday, May 15 (after deadline). Sullivan also praised second baseman Austin Kearney, with two hits and two RBI, for “bat-

Coming from a tough district, “We've seen all the best [pitchers],” Kearney said, including sophomore Will Neely, HVA starter and losing pitcher (4 1/3 innings). “Were used to it.” Hardin Valley’s run in the fourth inning was set up by consecutive Irish 7 one-out singles by Hawks 2 D y l a n Harris, Ian Pung and Zach Sears. Pung's two-out RBI single in the HVA sixth inning scored Seth Hunt, who walked. Harris also added a sixth-inning single. Sully Smoak also singled for Hardin Valley. In the KCHS first inning, Kearney’s two-out sharp single down the left field line scored Harrison, who reached on a leadoff infield single and was sacrificed to second by John Mark Broussard. Broussard, Aaron Jenness and Dom Souder also had hits for the Irish.

“I've never been prouder of my two pitchers,” said Leavell, the Lady Admirals’ junior catcher. “I’m so proud of both of them. “They deserve this. We wanted this and we wanted it bad.” Farragut finally broke through with a pair of runs in the top of the fifth. Avery Blankenburg drew a bases-loaded walk and Shelby Miller had an RBI single to pull the Lady Ads to within 3-2. Then, facing elimination with two outs in the seventh, Farragut scored the tying run. Leavell opened the frame with a leadoff single. She was lifted for courtesy runner Taylor Duncan. Blankenburg singled one out later to put runners at first and third before Mary Claire Coyne walked to load the bases. Smith drew a base-on-balls to score Duncan with the tying run. Sims averted damage as Halls stranded two more runners in the bottom of the seventh. Farragut, which played in the regional championship game at District 4-AAA rival Maryville on Wednesday (results not available at press time), has qualified for the Section 1-AAA game Friday, May 17, and hopes to reach the TSSAA Class AAA state tournament for the first time since 2008. “The good thing about this is that we have two games left and we're one win away from the state,” Moore said.

Moore said his team got a solid effort from both his pitchers with his team facing elimination. “Emily threw some big pitches and Sierra threw big pitches,” Moore said. “They kept us in it.” Leavell echoed her coach’s sentiments.

OAK RIDGE -— Little worry that Hardin Valley Academy boys soccer could rally at Oak Ridge’s Blankenship Field Friday evening, trailing 1-0 at halftime in the District 3-AAA Tournament title game. The Hawks were less than five minutes from season elimination at Karns two days before, trailing 2-0 before rallying for a pair of last-minute regulation goals — then two more in overtime for an improbable 4-2 victory.

For the third consecutive year, soccer rivals Bearden and Farragut met in the District 4AAA Tournament Semifinals and it was the host Admirals who came away with a 1-0 overtime victory Wednesday, May 8, at Farragut Soccer Stadium. This match took nearly 100 minutes to decide as the Admirals Admirals 1 prevailed w h e n SoccerDawgs 0 Fletcher Ekern scored the game’s lone goal with four seconds remaining in the overtime period. “It feels amazing,” said Ekern, who took a pass from freshman forward Dami Omitaomu and banged it past Bearden junior goalkeeper Rhys Fielder and into the back of the net. “It was crazy how the ball went all the way through. “I read it and I put it in.” Omitaomu said he knew that Ekern would score. “I saw Fletcher coming to the ball and I got it to him,” Omitaomu said. “I knew that he was going to put it in.” The Admirals, who lost to the Bulldogs (7-12-2) in last year’s
semifinals at home, had plenty of chances on this night. The Ads, however, could not find the shooting touch. Farragut attackers hit the crossbar or the goalposts several times throughout the match. “I’ve never coached a game or seen a game when the posts were hit so much,” Farragut head coach Wallie Culbreth said. “We had opportunities every two or three minutes. I knew that we would get [a goal] eventually but I didn’t think that we would get to overtime.” Farragut beat the Bulldogs 6-0 in the regular-season tilt between the two tradition-rich powerhouses. “You have to hand it to Bearden,” Culbreth said. “They really tried hard. “Those guys really wanted it badly. Their guys were still running when we were walking.” Farragut, which upset the Bulldogs in the 2011 semifinals, had a goal nullified by an offsides call with 6 minutes, 24 seconds left in the second half of the overtime session. That was just one of many missed chances for the Admirals. Junior forward Marvin Mendy See BEARDEN-ADS on page 6B

During a team photo with their 3-AAA award in hand, HVA players and coaches held up four fingers in recognition of the program's Hawks 2 fourth consecuWildcats 1 tive 3AAA Tournament title. “These guys, I mean they've just got great character,” HVA head coach Mike McLean said about his Hawks, improving to 86-3 after the win. “I told them, ‘that’s great for the future in life, not only soccer.’ I’m just proud of these guys.” About “four in a row,” McLean added, “We proved that this is
our district, now it’s time to move on [to District 4-AAA starting next season].” About coming from behind, Schneider said, “We're kind of getting used to it now. It might not be a good thing, but we're getting comfortable coming from behind. We know we have the ability to score. We just have confidence that we can score, and we trust in our teammates. That we can pull it out in the end.” Praising his defense, which slowed down Oak Ridge's attack after allowing a goal in the game's third minute, McLean said, “Other than that goal there wasn't much threat.

us [in the region tournament] because we couldn’t relax.” The Admirals and Irish were obviously on edge but things got more nerve-racking for Farragut late in the first half when senior goalkeeper Gus Green, a firstyear soccer player, was injured with 4 minutes, 31 seconds to go before halftime. “Coming in, I was having flulike symptoms, so this was already hard,” said Green, who collided with Catholic’s Gabe Saavedra. “I took a shoulder in the face and when I got up, I had double vision and then, I couldn’t see anything.”
Freshman Eli Lewis replaced Green, who didn’t return. Lewis had a huge save in the final 40 seconds to seal the title for the Admirals. Admirals 1 “ T h e intensity Irish 0 w a s there,” Moore said. “We had a freshman goalie come in when Gus went out and Eli made a big play. “This is probably the best game we played all year.” The win-or-go-home atmosphere made substituting tough for Culbreth, who admitted that he was nervous when Green left the match. “Normally [in the district championship game], you can
sub more and I was really nervous without Gus,” Culbreth said. “If I would’ve had Gus, I wouldn’t have been worried. “Gus could be our MVP.” Culbreth added that he contemplated putting senior sweeper Justin Lomax, who made a kick save on a shot by Noah Keener shortly after Green was injured, in goal. “I thought about putting my sweeper in the goal, but I had to have him on the field,” he said. Irish coach Gordon Heins was obviously disappointed after his team’s season came to an abrupt end. However, “It was a good game and it was a great win for Farragut,” Heins said. “They deserved it.”

hit the goal in the 37th minute. In the second half, Kai Miettinen missed a breakaway opportunity. Mendy banged the ball off the goalpost, Omitaomu had a shot sail over the crossbar and James Tourville hit the crossbar. “It feels really good to get this win,” said Omitaomu,
who assisted Ekern’s goal. “We had so many shots that hit the crossbar.” Bulldogs head coach Eric Turner said about his team, one of Knox County’s youngest, “The kids gave us everything they had. They competed. They played hard and that’s all you can ask for. I’m very proud of our guys. At the end of the day, Farragut’s talent just took over for them.”

“What I’m most proud of is we're starting to figure out the field conditions and what kind of team we’re playing,” McLean added. “We’re starting to figure out how to play, where we didn’t do throughout the year much.” Individually, “Our three center-mids, I didn’t even sub them they were so good, they did a great job,” McLean said about Ethan Haskell, Logan Kington and Kyle Pacelli. “We’ve started playing better as a team at distributing the ball, and even just our team character, that’s what I think it come down to,” Pacelli said. “Our team character, just through the Karns game, being down 2-0 and coming back with four minutes left and winning was a great feeling. And I think it carried over to this game. I think we’re going to carry it through the tournament.” Haskell said, “We’re good at getting up when we’re down.” About this latest championship, Haskell said it was “great, espe-
cially being a senior and winning it four years in a row.” Following a Schneider throwin toward the Oak Ridge box, Sturgeon came out of a scrum with possession and tied the game from about five yards out in the 43rd minute. “I saw [the ball] was going to come back post, so I came in from back post. When it was, like, knocking around, I just knew I just had to finish it,” Sturgeon said. “We changed our formation in the second half to have more attacking mid[fielders]. It worked for us,” he added. Hardin Valley went ahead for good in the 66th minute following Schneider’s corner kick. Ryan controlled the ball, left side of the box, then blasted a shot from about 15 yards out that hit a Wildcat defender in the leg, deflecting into the net. McLean admitted that Oak Ridge was minus a major scoring threat in Victor Shem. Shem scored both Wildcat goals in a 20 regular season win against HVA.
said. Powell head coach Jay Scarbro said his District 3-AAA Tournament runner-up team (2212) turned it on down the stretch of the season. “I really can’t say
enough about our guys,” Scarbro said. “They bought into what we were trying to do. ... I am really proud. Regardless of the outcome tonight, I am very proud of my guys.”

Swicegood, Crockett, Templeton win region
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
While a handful of Farragutarea track and field talent excelled in last Saturdays Region 1-AAA meet, with champs and multiple state qualifiers including Hardin Valley Academy distance runner Aaron Templeton and HVA thrower Tamia Crockett, Farragut junior pole vaulter Mack Swicegood follows in her dad’s footsteps. Region champ with a high vault of 10-feet, her career personal best, “I thought that I would get, like, top two, but I didn't know I was going to get first.” said Swicegood, whose father, Luke, was pole vault state runner-up at FHS in 1986 and No. 3 at state in 1985 before receiving a scholarship to The University of Tennessee. Heading to her first-ever state tournament, to be held at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro next week, “This is the best thing,” said Swicegood, in her second year of pole vaulting, after her success at HVA May 11. Saying she was influenced by her dad’s success, without being pushed, to finally take up pole vaulting, “He held the school record at Farragut for a really long time,” Swicegood added. “He's been a really big help.” Swicegood said pole vault coach Tim Mack, former UT national champ and Olympic

(Left) Farragut junior Mack Swicegood barely misses on this attempt to clear 10-feet-6, though she won Region 1-AAA. (Above) After winning region in discus, HVA sophomore Tamia Crockett went on to finish second in shot put.
Games gold medalist, "Is the reason I can do this.” Coming painfully close to clearing 10-foot-6 Saturday, Swicegood said her goal "is to break the school record, and I think to do that I need to get 11." Meanwhile, it was easy to know without looking immediately following Crockett last two discus tosses, given onlookers' reaction after this Lady Hawks sophomore had career-best tossed consecutively. Her top toss earning the region title, 127feet-3, was her last. “I am just proud of myself and my coaches. Coach [Bryan] Brown and coach [Wes] Jones, they have put a lot into me,” a happy Crockett said. “I’m peaking right now.”

Crockett also finished second in shot put. Qualifying for state in both events (second place) as a freshman last year, Crockett’s eighthplace state finish in shot put helped the Lady Hawks edge Tennessee High to capture the Class AAA state title. Crockett said she became a thrower in sixth-grade because of encouragement “from my dad,” in reference to Kevin Simon, former UT Football AllSEC linebacker. “If it wasn’t for him I wouldn't be here.” Templeton was champ in 1600 (4:19.35) and 3200 (9:26.18). Bearden’s Chase Hilton, a junior, won 800 dash (1:55.97). Bearden senior sprinter/triple jumper Christian Robinson captured first in 300 hurdles (38.77), while also qualifying for state with runner-up finishes in 110
hurdles and triple jump. Other FHS qualifiers were Katie Beuerlein, at-large entry in pentathlon, and Shannon McBride, fourth in 200 dash. Other HVA qualifiers were Lachlan Dickie in 3200 (third) and 1600 (fourth); Jayde Hodge, fourth in 100 dash, and Kayla Carey, fourth in shot put. Other Bearden qualifiers were Jackson Elmore, second in pole vault, and Bryan Fitzsimmons, fourth in 3200. Catholic high jumper Camille Baker, a junior, took third. Three Lady Hawks relay teams qualified: second in 4 X 200 and fourth in both 4 X 800 and 4 X 100. Boys relay qualifiers were Bearden in 4 X 800, finishing second. Hardin Valley was third. Farragut boys qualified in the 4 X 100 by placing third. In team standings, HVA’s boys placed second (75). BHS took fourth. HVA's girls finished third (72). Farragut was eighth.

Open House Tips
Your open house is scheduled, now what? Here are some quick easy tips that will help your home make a lasting impression on potential buyers. • A recently mowed and trimmed lawn makes a house look like it is well cared for. • The front porch/ entrance should be clean and welcoming. If your doormat is worn, get rid of it! A pot of seasonal flowers is a great touch. • Your coat closet should be thinned out. Put away off season coats, etc. • Clean windows through out and open all blinds. You want to let in as much natural sunlight as possible in every room. • Do not use air fresheners as they can be overpowering , distracting and makes one feel you are ”hiding” something. Your home should smell “clean”. Fresh baked cookies is a memorable scent and the cookies a bonus for your guests to enjoy. • If possible, soft music is more soothing and inviting than dead silence during your open house. • All lights should be on, lighting creates ambiance and coziness. Make sure you do not have any burned out bulbs. • Kitchen counters should be free of all clutter. You want to showcase your counter space not your toaster! • Have utility bills on display. Potential buyers will appreciate this additional information. • Put out pictures of your yard during other seasons. It is nice to see how the trees fill out to give privacy and the beautiful spring / fall colors. • Take your pets with you for the duration of your open house. Future owners may not
love your furry friends like you do. • Put away all personal care items, nobody wants to see shampoos, razors, etc!! Toilet seats down please. • Tile and grout in your bathrooms should be free of mold. You want this area to be as pristine as possible. • If your floors are a selling feature hide all rugs. This also will make your rooms look larger. • Back patio and deck should be clean and inviting. Seasonal
flowers here is a nice touch. You love your home and you want someone else to love it just as much as you have. Let your potential buyers see the features of your home ….they are not buying your “clutter”. Now you are ready, good luck! Submitted by Natalie Bogusky, Keller Williams Realty, 865-694-5904
