Town heritage discussed ■
HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com
Farragut’s history, as well as its ties to historic figures, were the topic of conversation during a land use plan citizen academy Tuesday afternoon, May 8. “Is there a heritage we care about?” asked consultant Noré Winter, of Winter & Co., working with Winston Associates on Farragut’s land use plan. “Does Farragut have a history? It’s new,” he added. Farragut was incorporated in 1980. Residents and elected officials in attendance said Farragut did have historical ties, even if the incorporated Town itself is very new. “The beginning of Farragut was Campbell’s Station,” said Old Concord resident Mac Abel. Concord sprang up after the railroad was completed in 1854. Other Farragut ties to history include a connection to the U.S. Navy’s first admiral, James David Glasgow Farragut. It is widely believed he was born at Stony Point, about eight miles outside Town limits off Northshore Drive. Farragut also has legitimate historical sites, the group decided: the Campbell Station Inn, which sits at the corner of Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike; Pleasant Forest Cemetery, which dates to 1796 and is the burial site of Gov. Archibald Roane; remnants of Virtue Mill, the Red Mill marble dam and various other aged homes and barns. The Civil War Battle of

Beverly Hammond said historic sites are interesting and should be part of the community’s heritage, “but I don’t think it will bring people from out of town.” Winter agreed. “It’s not the silver bullet. This will not put the Town on the map,” he said. Heritage could, however, be part of an overall strategy to brand the Town. Farragut could simply ensure historic sites are preserved, could open them to responsible redevelopment or could even place them within parks as iconic community

A Farragut High School junior has joined an elite group of students who have earned a perfect score on their SATs. Lawrence Wang is humble about that achievement — even though, according to FHS principal Michael Reynolds, Lawrence is the only student in the nation to reach 2400 on the test so far this year. “The school told me about the rarity ... so I thought it was pretty interesting,” Lawrence said. “It’s cool,” he added. Lawrence said he didn’t complete any special preparations for the test. “I wouldn’t say I did anything special. I just looked up a couple practice tests and read a bunch of passages,” he said. “A bunch of the things from all of the sections I could relate to as things we’d learned in class. I’d say that was a lot of indirect
help,” he added. Lawrence also scored a 35 on his ACT — one point short of a perfect score. “I was off by a question,” he said with a laugh. “That’s fine. It was interesting though,” he added. Lawrence moved to Farragut his freshman year from Blacksburg, Va. His parents are Dr. Fei Wang and Dr. Yilu Liu, both electrical engineers. As for his own career and collegiate plans, Lawrence is undecided. “Where I want to go to school: I was thinking somewhere up in the northeast, or out in California. Or maybe if I’m bold enough, to go overseas to somewhere like Oxford,” he said. “But area of study — I’m still a bit torn on that. No matter what I choose, I’d have to be giving up something I like. It’s most likely something to do with science, but I’m not really sure. Some form of engineering,” he

accents. The land use plan sets 25-year goals for how land should develop and redevelop in Farragut. It’s not legally binding, nor is it the same as zoning. The heritage academy May 8 was one of three public meetings held that day to discuss the land use plan. Academy attendees came up with several ideas of uses of historic sites. The Town has long considered acquiring the Campbell Station Inn at some point, with the possibility of converting it into the See HISTORY on Page 5A

said. But “I really like English and history and some motley things, psychology and random medical stuff. There’s too many subjects to choose from. It’s hard to narrow down,” Lawrence said.

According to Lawrence, the attention from his perfect SAT score has been a bit embarrassing. “They did this awkward cere-

Campbell Station also took place largely within Town limits. “This is not a one theme situation. There’s a lot of heritage here to talk about. The question is, ‘So what?’” Winter asked. “Do we have enough heritage in Farragut that it would be worth taking advantage of?” he added. At least one citizen said no. “Farragut is the suburban bedroom community of Oak Ridge,” said Anna Frazer, adding historical sites do not make Farragut historic. “What’s missing is the reason for people to come,” she added.

Farragut’s School Education Relations Committee presented its “School Needs List” — the product of the past year’s work — to Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen last month. The list enumerates the needs of the five schools serving Farragut children: Farragut Primary, Farragut Intermediate, Farragut Middle, Farragut High and Hardin Valley Academy. “The best schools generally receive broad community support, beyond government funding,” SERC chair Mark Littleton said. “We thought the community would likely be more engaged if school needs were specifically known,” he added. The school needs list — available online at www.townoffarragut.org/index.aspx?NID=9 6 (or from the homepage, click on the “government” link and follow links to “Farragut/Knox County school education relations committee”) — outlines a number of needs, ranging from streetlights to computers to mulch. “A theme throughout the schools is technology: they want more computers,” Littleton said. Littleton said he and other SERC members hoped citizens, business owners or even elected officials could help make the list more widely available. “If we can get these needs before the public, maybe more of them can be met,” he said. Alderman Ron Honken agreed. “They needs here are great, and quite frankly, they’re not too hard to solve,” he said. In other business, Farragut’s Board: • Approved, on first reading, an amendment to Farragut Municipal Code that would create a business registration program The registration program — essentially a business license — would require businesses to pay a $15 fee to obtain a license, and also would require a yearly renewal. All renewals of licenses filed in a timely manner would not be charged a renewal fee,” Town recorder Allison Myers said.

lettertotheeditor I truly believe the most important piece of infrastructure in any community is the school system. As a community we are blessed to have great schools at all levels teaching our children. How many communities with 20,000 people can say they have two of the best high schools not only in the state, but in the nation? I doubt many. I’m probably like many of you in that a great part of our decision to live in Farragut was due to the well-earned reputation of the quality of our schools. When I was reviewing Knox County as a potential site for a new office for my employer, I was able to peek under the tent to see the performance of each school. Those in Farragut were obviously doing a great job. Make sure you thank those that serve our children every chance you get! So what does the town of Farragut currently do for our schools? Right now we give each principal $10,000 per year. We also give the foundations at both Farragut High School and Hardin Valley Academy an additional $10,000. I hope over time we can give even more, as I know the need is great. It is also worth mentioning that our Public Works department has helped
throughthelens
with several projects at the schools over the years. I recently participated in the “Principal for the Day” program and was assigned to FHS. Mike Reynolds does a great job leading FHS and his wife, Sallee, does the same at HVA. Mike can clearly tell you what the needs of FHS are, and you may have seen a list of the same recently in the paper. You also may have read his comment about how easy it is to get money for athletics, but at times almost impossible for the academic side. Let’s not let this be the case for any of our schools. Can you imagine the impact on our community of any of these five schools failing? Did you notice that when the town of Farragut received the award for “Most Business Friendly City” one of the criteria was the quality of our schools? It is today, and will continue to be in the future. Not only would I not live in Farragut, my employer would not be located in Knox County if we didn’t have a quality school system. Stay tuned!

Focusing on a ‘downtown’ A session of last week’s Land Use academies focused on the possibility of creating a “downtown” area in the town of Farragut. Do you think the Town needs an area designated as “downtown?” What would a “downtown” Farragut look like to you? Where should the “downtown” be physically located? Should it include both retail and residential property? Let us know. Call or e-mail presstalk at 671-TALK (8255) or presstalk@farragutpress.com

• You raise an important subject — brain injury in athletes. Some universities and the pro football teams have programs to minimize impacts that cause concussions and provide care about allowing players to continue in a game or even in a sport. Your readers may be interested in this perspective: http://secondlevelfootball.wordpress.com/ 2012/05/04/football-and-braininjury/ Every sports program should have a program to minimize concussions and other injuries. As I understand it, that often involves modification of the practice routines and drills. For football, players should wear only helmets that have been tested and proven superior for service. Interested high school athletic directors and coaches can get good information on suitable equipment and practice modifications from a number of institutions. Virginia Tech has helmet
information and rating at this site: www.cib.vt.edu/news/main_ news.html/ The head of their safety program is Dr. Stefan Duma, a 1995 graduate of The University of Tennessee. • Was just wondering what is happening with plans to build our community center in the middle of Town in the old Kroger Building that is sitting so forlorn just begging to be used? Will it be another 10 years before any action happens for the Farragut residents who have asked and pleaded for a community center; gee, get the lead out and get moving, we are not going to live forever! Editor’s Note: As far as we know, there are no plans to create a community center in the old Kroger building. • In reference to your “through the lens,” I saw a report last week claiming girl soccer players have twice the number of
concussions as do boy players. • Just got off the phone with Farragut Town Hall calling to find out if I can own chickens for egg consumption in my “fencedin” backyard and was told flat out, no. Seems I remember reading and hearing plenty of talk about it being considered and approved in Knoxville, so guess now I’m suddenly no longer part of Knoxville, but am to consider myself a resident of Farragut only, when at all other times saying I live in Farragut is disregarded and I’ve been lumped in as being a resident of Knoxville. What is that about? Double standards sounds like to me. If you keep chickens properly they are sweet animals that do their duty to rid you of nasty bugs thus no need for chemicals in the yard, which is a plus if you are environmentally sound and an avid gardener such as myself. So it is a sad day that your only
life has to be chicken free if you live in Farragut. Editor’s Note: If you live within the boundaries of the town of Farragut, you have never been a resident of Knoxville, only Knox County or Concord, as some out west note. • Yes, I would like to comment about the trucker that [allegedly] murdered the lady, the schoolteacher from Loudon County. I think these big trucks should be made to follow on a road of their own; they shouldn’t be allowed on the streets or highways where cars are because they get right on top of you, they think they own the road, like “Get out of my way or I’m going to run over you.” And I personally don’t use the Interstate when I don’t have to because of this, yet I have to pay taxes to help keep it up. I think they should be taken off the road and put on a road of their own, or better still use the
freight system. Use the railways: that would make it a lot better and that would get rid of them permanently. … Like I said, they think they own the road and I don’t think they should be allowed to drive near cars because they’re too large. And they handle the truck like it’s a [weapon]. And I’m assuming nothing will be done about this trucker because everyone knows the law is for the criminal. Thank you. Editor’s Note: A separate road for trucks would cost taxpayers billions of dollars to construct. Trucks are used to move railroad freight to its destination. • I fancy an opportunity to voice my opinion on an item of concern. I think it’s wonderful to see photographs of all the kids doing their thing before they go See PRESSTALK on Page 6A

Abel said he was “violently opposed” to annexation, but that Concord residents would participate in expanding on Farragut’s heritage. “I would lose a great deal if Concord was annexed by Farragut. We are very comfortable partners,” he added.

Local residents at Strang Senior Center seemed to be in favor of Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s budget proposal during his presentation and questionand-answer session Thursday morning, May 3. “I hope you stick to your guns,” Donna McEvers told Burchett about his stance against a property tax increase. The potential of a tax hike is related to a budget request from Knox County Schools superintendent Jim McIntyre, requesting $35 million this year on top of a planned increase of $12 million, plus an additional $35 million each year for the next five years. “I’m going to keep my word. We’ll see what happens,” Burchett told McEvers. Burchett has vowed to veto any Knox County Commission budget that includes McIntyre’s full budget request. Burchett’s $673,717,291 budget includes $13 million in new fund-

ing for the school system, which accounts for 73 percent of the $20.8 million this year’s budget exceeds last year’s. “They’ll have $13 million in new funding this year, more than the last three years combined,” Burchett said. About $3 million of that schools funding would be targeted specifically for “an intensive kindergarten through third grade reading effort.” “Not one single elementary
school in Knox County is meeting its reading goals,” Burchett said. According to him, 56 percent of Knox County third graders are reading below grade level. “Reading is fundamental,” he added. The budget also includes funding for 27 miles of paving, 10 miles more than this year. “That would be like paving a road from Farragut to Gibbs High See BUDGET on Page 6A

She wanted to be in the middle of the action, regardless of where it was. Kay loved her family. She made the effort to maintain contact with her children and grandchildren even though they are scattered all over the country. Her grandchildren held a special place in her heart. Kay loved to cook and when asked for a recipe her response was often that she didn’t have one, it was in her head. Chicken and dumplings was a favorite of her family and she made the best. She also made the best fruit cakes, although they were not a universal family favorite. She also loved her cats. They have been her constant companion in the past few years and she had a special bond with them. If someone would like a cat, hers is ready to be adopted. Kay was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Walter L. Payne. She is survived by her children, Vickie Dickerson, Jan Ballard, Keith Payne, and Kellye Galli; nine grandchildren; and 14 great grandchildren.

However, schools have public signing ceremonies only for athletes. • I want to join the other voices who have spoken up about not spending our money in Farragut on lighting, be it on Campbell Station Road or Concord Road. That is not the highest priority. We have bicyclists who want to ride along our roadways out here and they have nowhere to ride. We would like sidewalks and we would like bike paths. That is what our community needs to really lead the way in what a family community is about in the year 2012 and beyond. It’s not about lighting.

School,” Burchett said. An employee pay raise implemented earlier this year will cost $3 million; funding the Uniformed Officers Pension Plan will cost roughly $5 million, not including bond payments. Burchett said his budget would reduce county debt by $20 million in fiscal year 2013, with a goal to cut that debt by $110 million over the next five years. “We have $669 million in debt, which is more than $1 billion with interest,” Burchett said. Jim McEvers told Burchett, “This County has a reputation” for financial fiascos, referencing the P-card
scandal involving Burchett’s predecessor, Mike Ragsdale. “It’s a symptom of a disease,” McEvers said. “That’s the reason I ran for office, is that stupid lobster dinner,” Burchett said. “When it’s your tax dollars, there should be accountability,” he added. D.H. “Andy” Andrews told Burchett he wanted to see less funding for Knoxville Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission, which he felt had overstepped the bounds of its charter. “I cut them $100,000 this year,” Burchett told him, adding he had plans to eventually bring the MPC into a contractual agreement with the County.

requirements for such a development. Winston said West End Center provided an “interesting opportunity” for redevelopment as a downtown district, even showing three-dimensional renderings of what one could look like. “It seems like an ideal place to do some revitalization,” Gene Larson said. Resident Denny Wren said Farragut should not encourage the building of any new commercial buildings until it filled vacant ones. “You’re not just going to fill them as they are,” Winston said. “Somehow, the pattern has to change.” The group decided any potential downtown should focus on a
true mix of residential, commercial and office space in each block or building, be completely walkable and be timeless. “We’re not trying to be better and fancier [than Turkey Creek]. We’ll never win that game,” Winston said. Primer said a downtown could help Farragut overcome negative perceptions. “Farragut lacks an identity. In the absence of an identity ... we do nothing to reaffirm the future, we just validate the past. So say, ‘Here’s what we think we can develop in the future,’” he said. Developers will come to Farragut, he said, when the Town can provide an opportunity for stimulus and a dream for the future, “rather than just putting a rec center in an old grocery store.”

KEN LAY Correspondent
A.J. Simcox is one of Farragut High School’s clutch hitters and potent offensive weapons. But Monday night his biggest impact came from the mound as he hurled a perfect seventh inning to help the Admirals notch a 5-4 victory over Halls in the Region Admirals 5 2-AAA semifinals Red Devils 4 before a near-capacity crowd at Farragut’s John Heatherly Field. Simcox, who went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run at the plate, slammed the door on the Red Devils, who matched the Admirals punch for punch between two of Knox County’s baseball powerhouses. “It’s a great feeling to know that you have the game in your hands,” said Simcox, Farragut’s senior pitcher and shortstop as well as a Tennessee Volunteers commitment. “I love getting the ball in that situation because it’s my best against your best and if you can hit it, then hat’s off to you. “But if you can’t, I’m sorry.” The Red Devils (27-7) couldn’t hit Simcox’s stuff on this night. Farragut’s closer opened the inning by striking out pinchhitter Blake Shuler before ending the game by inducing a pair of fly balls to punch the Admirals’ ticket to the region championship game. Farragut head coach Matt Buckner commended Halls’ effort. “They did a good job,” Buckner said of the District 3-

With 17 hits total in an performance that Tate said was “probably one of the top two or three” this season, Bulldog players are especially motivated to continue post-season play to honor Tate, a long-time Bearden assistant coach retiring after three seasons at the helm. Trey York, BHS senior second baseman who had three hits, said “the main thing is, we really want to do this for coach Tate. We want to finish strong here.” Derel Lance ended with three hits for Bearden (26-12) while Elijah Helton connected for two, as did Lane Thomas.

Roy steps up, Hawks beat Karns to win 3-AAA ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
With Hardin Valley Academy missing its leading scorer in addition to all of its season-ending knee injury victims, the Hawks still managed to win a District 3AAA Tournament title. Senior forward Brandon Roy stepped up and scored all three goals, as HVA (10-5-2) fought off a second-half Karns rally to win 3-1 at KHS Friday, May 12. Roy, recording his first-ever three-goal game at HVA, said his Hawks “were just trying to maintain the district championship” after winning it last season en route to a Class AAA state title. In the 30th minute, Roy scored HVA’s first goal, about five yards out in front of the net, after sophomore defender Zach Webb’s free kick from about 40 yards out went to sophomore midfielder
Kyle Pacelli in the box, who fed Roy. “We had to score an early goal to set the tone,” Roy said Roy’s second goal, a little more than one minute later, was set up when Jonathan Perelman, senior midfielder, placed a near perfect diagonal pass down the middle to Roy on the dead run. Roy knocked Hawks 3 home the second Beavers 1 Hawks goal from about 15 yards out. “Oh man, he is great,” Roy said of Perelman. “Me and him have been playing together for a long time. We have good chemistry.” Mike McLean, HVA head coach, singled out three players’ efforts. “We had a freshman, Logan Kington, he was our ball winner in the middle and he played unbelievable all night,” McLean said. “Trent Stethen’s always consistent. And Brandon, you know,
scoring the goals, that’s a threat up front for us.” HVA won without injured leading scorer Chris Gallaher, who McLean said “hopefully” would be back for the Hawks’ Region 2AAA semifinal home game versus Maryville, District 4-AAA runnerup, Tuesday, May 15. McLean said about Karns (136-1), “I knew they’d come out fighting in the second half. “ KHS cut the Hawks’ 2-0 lead in half on a goal from Eric Berman in the 44th minute. “Their goal changed the momentum of the entire game,” McLean said. “It broke us out of our system and we had to change it up a bit. “We held on and got a lucky goal at the end.” That luck came when Roy’s third goal, from about 40 yards out in the 76th minute, caught Karns’ goalkeeper Kevin Ellis “way off his line.”

ters he faced. During that stint, Serrano surrendered only a hit and a walk. It was the Ads who broke the scoreless deadlock in the bottom of the third inning with two runs. Center fielder Jammer Strickland singled to lead off the frame. He would score two outs later on an RBI single by third baseman David Logan to give the Ads a 1-0 lead. Farragut would pick up another run in the inning when Nick Senzel came home on a wild pitch after drawing an intentional walk earlier in the inning. Halls would pull to within 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth when District 3-AAA Player of the Year Austin Smith drew a walk to open the frame. An errant pick-
off throw, a balk and a ground out produced the run. Halls knotted things at 2-2 in the top of the fifth on a solo home run by shortstop Clay Walker. Walker’s blast came after Painter struck out the side in the bottom of the fourth. “Hat’s off to Painter, he threw a great game,” Simcox said. The Admirals took a 5-2 lead in the bottom of the inning as Senzel, Farragut’s junior second baseman, blasted a two-run homer with one out. Brett Hagenow added an RBI double. “I’m pretty sure that the count was 2-2 and he [Painter] had been working me in all night,” Senzel said. “Then, he gave me a great pitch right down the middle and I was able to hit it.” The Red Devils pulled to within 5-4 on Ryan Galyon’s two-rundouble in the sixth.

Dawgs capture 4-AAA crown
Bearden-HVA From page 1B
On heels of upsetting Farragut, BHS edges Maryville
■
KEN LAY Correspondent
If ever there was a match that seemed to be a microcosm of Bearden High School’s soccer season it was played Friday night at Bruce Allender Field. And when the dust had settled, the No. 3 seeded Bulldogs came away with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over No. 5 seed Maryville to win the 2012 District 4-AAA Tournament Championship. “We knew that if we stuck together Bulldogs 3 then the results Rebels 2 would come,” said Bearden senior forward Conner McCarty, who scored the game-winning goal in the 75th minute. “To finally get a district title in our senior year is great. Our freshman and sophomore years, we lost to Farragut when they were the No. 1 team in the state.” Then there was the huge disappointment in 2011 when the Soccer Dawgs were top-ranked in Tennessee only to see the Admirals end Bearden’s season in the district semifinals. The third-seeded Bulldogs (133-5) advanced to the 2012 title match with a 3-2 victory over the Ads to avenge last year’s heartbreak. “We waited a long time to beat Farragut after what they did to us last year,” Bulldogs midfielder Andrew Fulcher said. “That served as motivation for us and we talked about that ever since we started conditioning in December.” Bearden had to wait exactly
364 days to get its revenge, then the Bulldogs claimed a district championship 48 hours later. Bearden took a 1-0 lead in the eighth minute when James Ferguson headed the ball past Rebels goalkeeper Ryan Jorgensen and into the net off a throw-in by Jake Goodman. Maryville pulled even on a penalty kick seven minutes later, then took a 2-1 lead on a breakaway in the 57th minute. Bearden scored the game’s second equalizer on another set play. Brandon Mansfield had a free kick from just inside the midfield stripe. He promptly fired the ball over the top of Maryville defenders to a waiting Fulcher, who promptly banged the ball past Rebels netminder Bailey Humphreys. “Brandon just gave me a great ball and I flicked it into the net,” said Fulcher, who assisted on the game-winner. “It feels awesome to win a district championship and beating Farragut was the hugest win in our careers.” Looking ahead, “We’re one step closer to a state championship,” said McCarty, a Maryville College signee who scored two goals in the upset of Farragut.

Winning its second straight District 3-AAA tourney title, HVA's season ends 23-13. Elliot Whitt, HVA senior right fielder with one hit Monday, said it “was a great year. As a team, this year, we definitely expected to win district again. “It's been a great four years.” Clay Fielden, Hawks senior infielder/designated hitter, said that although his Hawks “didn't come out with the right energy” against Bearden, “we played great this season. … Won another district championship.” HVA’s Chase Kirk also singled.

A sports medicine physician from Farragut is in special company nationally, sharing an important task while involved in a sport he describes as “my passion.”
Dr. Chris Shaver has been selected as one of 120 “pool physicians” nationwide by U.S. Ski Team to treat injuries while orthopedically monitoring team members during events and practices at locations nationally and worldwide. “One of the guys I trained under
when I was in residency at Greenville, S.C., Dr. Jason Folk, he was in the physicians pool, and he told me about it and it sparked an interest in it for me,” said Shaver, a Fox Run resident who practices at Tennessee Orthopedic Clinic in Lenoir City.
“I grew up and I fell in love with skiing, and I absolutely love being in the mountains, being on skis,” he added. “It’s a perfect blend to combine that passion with what I do professionally.” See SHAVER on Page 11B
FHS grad Haun reflects Cyber bullying on ALCOA, books FMS principal, staff, concerned parents address growing issue

In the 50 years since he graduated from Farragut High School in 1962, Charlie Haun’s life has centered around aluminum, writing and service in the U.S. Navy. Now, at 68 and following 31 years at ALCOA, Haun still works 12hour shifts whenever he’s not authoring books and poems. Don’t feel too Haun bad about those 12-hour days, though. “I retired for a week. … I always said I’d quit if it wasn’t fun,” said Haun, who upon graduating from FHS served three years in the Navy with a final rank of “E4.” Though retired from ALCOA, “I contract out to ALCOA aluminum company. I’m just a systems tech with automated guided vehicle systems that we have,” said Haun, who still works a series of consecutive 12hour days at ALCOA while employed with Express Professionals.

Cyber bullying through use of “personal communications or electronic devices” among Knox County K-12 students has exploded, “Seeing kids just hammer other kids” regularly within the last four years. That’s according to Steven D. Griffin, Knox County Schools system chief enforcement officer, adding that cyber bullying is “happening every day.” Griffin appeared in Farragut Middle School auditorium to address “Cyber-Bullying: State Law and School Policy” to a handful of concerned Farragut parents, teachers and FMS principal Heather Karnes Tuesday evening, April 3. Griffin recalled two especially harsh examples of cyber bullying, where two “high school girls here in Knox County … had to leave the state because they were harassed with Photoshop pictures … to the point where people were following them. “Not pictures of [their body]; that’s what kids don’t understand,” Griffin added. “Somebody gets a picture of your face, they can put it on anything they want to on a computer, and send it anywhere they want to. “If you think Facebook is bad, Twitter is the devil’s right hand.”
One grandmother of a Farragut schools student said her grandchild’s bullying was so bad “they ran him off the bus … and torturing the family and bullying him every which way. “He just felt he didn’t want to go out and play anymore.” At FMS among 1,330 students, “Our girls’ cyber bullying is worse than the boys. Girl-ongirl,” Karnes said. “Just getting other people mad at somebody and calling them terrible names and using foul language and maybe threats.” However, “We address them immediately. With all bullying at this school, we stop everything and deal with the bullying incident,” Karnes added. “Right now we’re doing pretty well. ... We have a compliant group of students with regard to our cell phone policy. We may have five or six in a box that have been confiscated from the students.” To fight cyber bullying and other student abuses against other students away from school — including posting nude photos — Tennessee General Assembly responded with House Bill 301, passed in July 2011. HB 301 allows Griffin and other KCS officials and school principals “to discipline your kid for something he did on the weekend outside of school and it’s not a schoolsponsored function,” Griffin See BULLYING on Page 8B
FHS graduate ordained into Baptist faith
■
HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com
A 2005 Farragut High School graduate recently stepped out into a faith calling by being ordained into the Baptist faith. “Ordination is the church recognizing a person sent to fulfill a role of pastor, or the role of a minister,” said Farragut native Dane Deatherage. He is the son of Bill and Star Deatherage. Deatherage was ordained earlier this year at Fairview Heights
Northside Baptist Church in Anniston, Ala., where he currently is serving as minister of students. “I’ve been there for about two years,” he said. Deatherage said that, as minister of students, he leads Wednesday night Bible studies and teaches Sunday School classes for middle and high school students. “I mostly work with teenagers teaching and also mentoring and trying to build relationships with
them,” Deatherage said. For Deatherage, ordination was both an inward and outward calling. “There’s an inward calling where a person feels led by God to pursue full-time ministry, and there’s also an outward calling and that is the church or the local congregation calling out that person for ministry, saying they are equipped, they are ready, they are fit,” Deatherage See ORDAINED on Page 10B

Haun From page 4B
“I like to work,â€? Haun said. Although saying he has “a very attractiveâ€? retirement package from ALCOA, Haun said the only reason he retired in 1996 at age 52 was because “my mother was terminally ill. I was going to take care of a lot of things for mother.â€? However, Margaret Moore Haun died six days after her son retired. At ALCOA, “I had at least 20 different jobs ‌ I went from labor to shift administrator in those 30 years. I liked what I did,â€? Haun added. “Then I went to work in a material handling system that has automated guided vehicles. Vehicles that carry 30,000-pound spools of aluminum.â€? “I retired as a shift supervisor.

“I’ve always written ‌ I now write a thousand words a day,â€? he said. “You just call on me and I’ll write something for you. I’ll write a poem for you. I used to do that at work for people at luncheons and retirement [ceremonies]. “Then this thing came up about the missing marker for [Adm. James David Glasgow] Farragut. I grew up there in Blue Grass community,â€? he added. “I actually played on that marker.â€? Haun’s book, “Looking For Admiral Farragut,â€? is a 142-page fictional account about the missing monument, published in February. Originally intended to be “more historical,â€?

82% of Seniors Prefer to Stay at Home BrightStar Can Help Most people wish to stay in their homes as long as possible – in fact, an AARP study indicates that 82% of seniors would prefer to remain in their homes. BrightStar Home Care brings professional care into the home that can allow your loved one to remain in their most comfortable and familiar surroundings without sacrificing safety or disrupting the care plans prescribed by doctors. BrightStar Home Care is a good alternative arrangement for seniors who do not want to live in a nursing home.
Home Care BeneďŹ ts For everyone, from children to seniors, the thought of leaving the familiarity of home can be a scary and intimidating experience. Relocating to new surroundings can prove to be a huge lifestyle shift for anyone at any age. Whether it’s after treatment, post-op, or even elder care as we age, home care can mean more than just comfort, but also health and safety. Another study has indicated that half of infection deaths are linked to hospital care. According to a Wall Street Journal article, sepsis and pneumonia, two infections that can often be prevented with tight infection control practices in hospitals, killed 48,000 patients and added $8.1 billion to heath care costs in 2006 alone. And yet another study has indicated that patients with chronic heart disease fare better at home versus the hospital.

said. “My church and I have had a dialogue going on for about a year about whether I should be ordained and how that would work. The process for me was very slow going and very thoughtful,” he added. According to Deatherage, he met with Fairview Heights’s pastor and with a church council, answering questions on doctrine and pastoral behavior. “For me, it was the capstone to a calling I’ve felt for some time. It was very special in that sense,” Deatherage. “I still have a whole lot to learn. But it was a great affirmation, a great assurance to have a local congregation back me and support me in this,” he added. Deatherage is a junior at Beeson Divinity School, affiliated with Sanford University, and will

graduate next year with a Master of Divinity. “In spring 2013, I should be a free man, in a sense,” he said with a laugh. Deatherage said he was interested in someday becoming a pastor, but was open to other experiences and callings along the way. “Right now I’m still very much open to trying to figure out what’s right for me in the next step ... such as continuing student ministry [and] I’m open to mission work, going overseas and things like that if an opportunity presented itself or I felt called to seek that out,” Deatherage said. “Upon graduation I’ll be looking for a pastoral role to fill. I may not be the pastor of a church, but as long as I’m fulfilling a pastoral role where I’m teaching and serving, trying to build relationships among the congregants of a church.

Farragut High School continues to hold the all-time Knox County record for most pints of blood donated by a school at one event, which is 210 from Jan. 23, 2009. But Hardin Valley Academy, perhaps fueled by the inspiration of a popular late student and its recent competition with FHS, just finished setting a new Knox County record for total pints donated during a school year: 326. Most importantly, however, was the critical need for a combined 321 pints donated during that recent competition: 189 from HVA April 20, 132 from FHS April 13. During early-to-mid April, Medic Regional Blood Center was “on emergency appeal and had been back-ordered to local hospitals on blood. Couldn’t provide them with blood” for a two-week span, said Mike Prowell, Medic director of business development, in charge of public relations and recruiting. “And these schools have put us where we need to be in order to provide blood products for hospitals,” Prowell added. “Each donation can save up to three lives. Multiply that 326 times three and that tells you how many patients were possibly saved. See BLOOD on Page 12B

Dr. Chris Shaver during his evaluation trip with a U.S. Ski “Bteam Nor-Am event” in Park City Mountain Resort (Utah) in early 2011.
Shaver From page 4B
As for earning his U.S. Ski Team spot, “Once I got out of my residency and fellowship and got into practice I applied for the physicians pool,” Shaver said. “Once they say, ‘this is an appropriate person for the [U.S.] Ski Team physicians pool’ you end up doing a course called The Medical Emergencies in Skiing and Snowboarding,” Shaver added. “That’s a three or four day pretty intensive course about all the specialty injuries that can occur in skiing and snowboarding events.” Shaver pointed out this course also is required as a refresher “every three to four years.” In passing that course, “You’re a candidate for the

pool,” Shaver said. “And then you have to do a trip, or sometimes two, and be evaluated by the training staff and the coaches and the team members.” Shaver’s evaluation trip was during a U.S. Ski “B-team NorAm event” in Park City Mountain Resort (Utah) in early 2011. Shaver said he and fellow pool physicians volunteer solo “usually a week at a time to go with the team, whether it be just an international competition or a North American competition, or eventually you could possibly do the Olympics.” “They ask you to do one at minimum every other year,” he added. Shaver said he isn’t yet sure which U.S. Ski Team event he’ll be volunteering for -no expenses- paid because “the schedule doesn’t come out until summer.”

BLOOD
LOOKING FOR A GOOD HOME
From page 10B
“We appreciate both schools, they did an excellent job with the competition.” As for HVA’s 326 pints collected, “It’s definitely a record for one school within the last 10 years” since Medic started keeping records, Prowell added. Perhaps Hardin Valley students, teachers, administrators, family members and visitors were inspired by the memory of “a fantastic student,” simply referred to as Jimmy, whose death due to a “horrific disease … rocked this school,” said Tami Russell, HVA Health Science academy dean and blood drive coordinator. Farragut’s blood drive was held in honor of a highly popular coach and teacher, the late Ryan Shoup. Shoup, FHS football varsity’s wide receiver coach/special teams coordinator and a business teacher, died in fall 2010. “This is just another way that this community and this student body is remembering coach Shoup,” FHS head coach Eddie Courtney said. “He’s sadly missed all the time because of the impact he had.” Morgan Knight, HVA junior, said giving blood is for those “people like us that are perfectly healthy and really blessed.” Russell added, “I'm sure the competitive factor between the two schools played a huge part in our surpassing that previous record. It's great when two friendly rivals can come together and do something so worthwhile in support of such an important cause. “I feel blessed just to have been a part of seeing our students and staff give so unselfishly of themselves.” For more information: medicblood.org

Inquisitive Crowd for Inquisitor’s Key
One would think two people who have cowritten six fiction and two non-fiction books over the last decade would know all there is to know about each other. But Dr. Bill Bass surprised the crowd at Fox Den Country Club as he guessed at his junior writing partner’s age, cheerfully speculating for 110 fans, “You’re 52? … 53? … Fifty-SIX, Jon?” This sort of banter, case stories, and an intriguing history on the evolution of the final book, The Inquisitor’s Key, by writing duo Jefferson Bass quickly filled the second in the Chamber’s Breakfast Speaker series, held on May 8. Chamber members and local fans of Dr. Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson arrived early for the 7:30 a.m. event to pick up preordered copies of the latest book, or purchase others in The Body Farm series featuring lead character, Dr. Bill Brockton. Both Bass and Jefferson expressed gratitude to attendees for the warm reception they continually receive by the Chamber and Knoxville. Since the breakfast was held on the new book’s release date, Jefferson focused on explaining where it began, revealing that “the seed of this story began 14 years ago” when Jefferson visited Avignon, France for a documentary assign-
ment. While taken aback by the beauty of Avignon’s historical sites and the devoted religious culture, Jefferson simultaneously came across a 13th century missing person record where foul play was suspected but unconfirmed. The Inquisitor’s Key weaves that story in with a modern murder mystery along with the discovery by Dr. Brockton and his assistant, Miranda, of a tomb that may contain the remains of Christ. A large part of the story focuses on whether the remains could be Christ, and how one would test such a thing. Here, Bass interjected how difficult it is to separate fact from fiction in the books because of how they’re written, not only for the local names used, but because real forensic techniques are detailed. He explained “Jon does the stories, while I do the science.” Bass gave an example of how
Jefferson once wanted a body to be discovered in a cave; Bass immediately wanted to know if it was a wet or dry cave; it would be the difference between finding a body that appeared waxy or one that was mummified. Jon later added that in The Inquisitor’s Key real techniques from a tough case that spanned three chapters in the non-fiction book, Beyond the Body Farm, were used. Audience members were invited to ask ques-
tions of the duo, and many asked if this really was their last book. Bass and Jefferson stated this is the last book they’ve been contracted to write, and they haven’t really discussed plans for additional books. They both like all the books they’ve written, when asked if they had a favorite; Jefferson chose Bones of Betrayal due to the Oak Ridge, Tennessee setting and wealth

The 2012 Annual Dinner and Silent and Live Auction was the most successful in the Chamber’s history. Over 250 businesses were represented in the silent and live auctions and tabletop decorations. From the time guests walked into Rothchild’s Catering & Conference Center, they felt that they were somewhere spectacular, from the beautiful decorations to the finery of their attire to the magnificent tabletops. “I am in total awe – I do lots of events myself and have never seen anything quite like this”, stated Kim Olen of Independent Insurance Consultants.
The Farragut/West Knox Chamber is pleased to welcome back these members who have renewed their investment in the Chamber and in the community where they do business.

resident P Quotes ‘n Notes by Bettye Sisco “When you know something, say what you know. When you don't know something, say that you don't know. That is knowledge.” ~Kung Fu Tzu (Confucius) As I prepare to watch my nephew receive his Masters Degree, I think of all graduates at every level. Here are words of wisdom given at commencement addresses for graduates that can apply to everyone! "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. Most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." ~ Steve Jobs Co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Inc. “I work in a business where everyone is waiting for the next big thing. Sometimes it comes, sometimes not. Get out there and go for it, but don't be caught waiting. It's great to plan for your future, just don't live there. Whatever happens happens now, live your life where the action is, now. And one more thing: If you're going to be on television, don't call your friends and tell them to watch until after you've seen it.” ~ Jerry Zuker Director-Movie Producer "You must have a high threshold for frustration. Take it from the guy who was turned down by every studio in Hollywood. You must knock on doors until your knuckles bleed. Doors will slam in your face. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again. It’s the only way to achieve your goals in life." ~Michael Uslan Originator of the Batman Movies "Understand that whatever else may fail you, your personal integrity is always in your own hands and can never be taken from you.” ~David Calhoun Chief Executive Officer of Nielsen

Bass From page 1 of history there. Dr. Bass agreed, but Jefferson felt the first non-fiction, Death’s Acre, was Bass’ true favorite. Bass conjectured that it may be, adding his students at the University of Tennessee had long asked when he was going to write a popular book. Jefferson quickly quipped, “They’re still waiting!” at which Bass and the audience both erupted in laughter. A jovial Bass answered more macabre questions such as what happens to hair and nails after death, clearing up the myth that they continue to grow and can help determine post-mortem period length. He branched off to explain hair/nails are significant after death because they contain evidence of death by poison exposure, such as arsenic, and can even tell the examiner if the exposure was prolonged or immediate. Bass did express enthusiastic pride when he stated that determining time after death is complex and current methods the world over come from 40 years of work done at “that 3 acre facility” in Knoxville, TN (casually known as The Body Farm). Bass and Jefferson stayed after the event to sign books and pose for photos. The Chamber would like to thank event sponsor the Town of Farragut; community sponsors Enrichment Federal Credit Union and NHC Assisted Living; media sponsors farragutpress and WFIV myi105.3FM; and Dr. Bass’ assistant, Susan Seals, for all helping bring about this wonderful breakfast!

Dixie Lee Wines & Liquors For twenty-three years, Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors has proudly served the Farragut community. This family owned and operated business is sure to provide for all of your wine and spirit Courtney Such needs, both conveniently and affordably. Original owners Sam and Linda Taylor opened the store Labor Day weekend of 1990. As they reached retirement, they passed the business on to their three children, Ellen Jones, Sam Taylor, Jr., and Melanie Brown, so they could retire. “To keep the business going and keep it in the family was important to all of us,” said co-owner Ellen Jones. She went on to say, “The pride of owning my own business and working hard…that’s my favorite part.” Located right in the Dixie Lee Junction on Kingston Pike, Dixie Lee Wines and Liquors has over 7,000 square feet of products to ensure you find exactly what you are searching for in the market. This fully stocked store is constantly receiving new shipments of a variety of products. On the off chance you do not find what you are searching for, the associates are happy to order the product for you. “Our number one priority is striving for customer service,” explained Jones. “Second to that is our selection and value. The past five to ten years we really began to focus heavily on wine selection. It is very diverse and value oriented. We have good wines, a good selection, and we don’t break the bank!” The store runs sales and specials every two weeks. Right now, Jones is “aggressively collecting emails to add to the list to let our customers know when their favorite are in,” and to keep everyone up to date about what is happening. Check out their website at www.dixieleewines.com to find all about the biweekly specials, new products, news, and the blogs.

Need Financing for your Business? Thinking Outside the Box can Pay Off!
by Marilyn Cobble Senior Business Specialist
Financing can be a critical component to small businesses success but it can be Marilyn Cobble challenging to come by, especially in this economy. This is an area where a little research and ‘thinking outside the box’ can really pay off! Big Business Support Companies like Starbucks, Sears and Wal-Mart along with many others have instituted programs to help small businesses grow and prosper. Starbucks is lending a hand to job creation efforts by partnering with the nonprofit Opportunity Finance Network, a national network of 180 community development financial institutions (CDFIs) that orchestrate loans to businesses in low-income communities. Starbucks says the Create Jobs for USA Fund is a “peer to peer job creation program,” citing economic studies indicating that the jobs that are being created tend to be at small businesses. Mega-retailer Sears held a grant competition, which provided $5,000 grants to Hispanic small business owners to strengthen and improve their businesses. In addition to scholarship programs for business-related education, Wal-Mart initiatives include a partnership between Sam’s Club and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to assist small business owners interested in strengthening their businesses. While traditional financing through lending institutions and the U.S. Small Business Administration is a necessary component of any business plan, it is a good idea to explore non-traditional opportunities. Who knows, it may just pay off! TSBDC business specialists can assist you in finding financing for your business. Our services are free and confidential. Visit our website at www.tsbdc.org or call our office for an appointment at 865-246-2663.
