Fishing Rodeo draws anglers of all ages ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Children from 1 year old to 14 fished Anchor Park’s banks for catfish during the 32nd Annual Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo. The event, hosted by town of Farragut, took place at Anchor Park in Farragut on May 14 and was sponsored by the Watt family, Farragut resident Charley Benziger and Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency, which stocked the pond with about 600 pounds of catfish on Monday, May 9. “It’s just a beautiful day, and the kids are excited about fishing,” Stephanie Brown, Farragut resident, said. “[Daughter Nellie-Kate, 2,] kept saying, ‘Fish. Fish.” “Do the fish know we are fishing for them?” Hamza Muhammed, a Farragut boy, asked. “Are they that smart?” “I think it’s wonderful,” Betty Watt, widow of the late Bob Watt, after whom the event was named, said. “It’s so special to our family.” “This is just the highlight of our year to do this,” Rachel Watt David, Betty and the late Bob Watt’s daughter, said. “Bob was born and raised in Farragut, and he knew the area,”

Betty said. “He used to hunt and fish here. “It used to be Farragut Fishing Rodeo, but when he was an alderman in Farragut and left office, [former] Mayor Eddy Ford renamed the event Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo,” Betty said. David said her father was honored and humbled the event was renamed after him. Lauren Cox, Farragut Special Event and Program coordinator, said 104 children attended this year and by 10 a.m., some had caught quite a few so far. This year’s winners for the biggest fish were Nevaeh Pray, girls 6 and under category; Xavier Truman, boys 6 and under; Greysen Delph, girls 7 to 9; Aiden Gaston, boys 7 to 9; Kate Giancalone, girls 10 to 13; and Ben Crutchfield, boys 10 to 13. There was a tie, Victoria Khomenko and Jonathan Godderz for the most fish caught, and Alyvia Dubay won for the smallest fish, Cox said. Volunteers handed out bait and fishing rods and reels to children who needed them, fixed fishing lines and got fish off hooks for weighing, she said. “It’s pretty nice,” Jonathan Goedderz, 9, of LaFollette, said.

“I like to fish.” “We saw the ad. My daughter picked it up online,” Jim Goedderz, Jonathan’s grandfather and LaFollette resident, said. “It’s a chance to spend time together. He likes to fish and I like to fish.” Dylan Kimble of Knoxville brought four poles for which to fish with his grandmother, Julia Stumpft of Clinton. “Mama saw the poster in Knoxville,” Dylan said. “I like it. I like the sport, and I know how to do it.” “I came to supervise the tournament champ,” Stumpft said. “In the past, he won the championship.” “We love it,” Caitlin Curtis, Farragut resident, said. “It’s such a great, cute event. We just moved here last summer. They didn’t have anything like this where we were from.” Jennifer Roles, Lenoir City resident, said she brought her children, Kingston, 7, and Emery Roles, to do some fishing. “I just thought it would be fun to do,” Roles said. “I like it,” Kingston said. “I like being patient and watching the line.” See RODEO on Page 3A

Knox County Sheriff’s Office cited eight Farragut food and drink establishments for allegedly serving beer to minors. KCSO cited Big Kahuna Wings, El Paraiso, Casual Pint, Hana Sushi & Hibachi, Mind Yer Ps and Qs, Snappy Tomato and China Pearl with selling beer to undercover underage officers during an April 21 sting. Farragut Beer Board heard each of their cases May 12. All of them received a choice between fine or temporary suspension. Representatives from all of the businesses plead guilty except

for two of them, El Paraiso, for which no representative attended the meeting and Snappy Tomato, for which Simeon Kross, the owner and operator, said he was not guilty of the charge. “The sale was not completed,” Kross said. He said the beers had remained on the counter. “That is not the customer’s table, not the customer’s hand,” he said. Snappy Tomato received a choice between a $100 fine or seven day suspension. El Paraiso did not send a representative. It received the choice of a 30-day suspension of beer serving privileges or a $700 fine, both harsher penalties than any other establishment

received. “They had the opportunity to be here,” Thomas M. Hale, Town attorney, said. While China Pearl, Hana Sushi and Hibachi and Casual Pint received $200 fines or 7-day probations, Big Kahuna Wings and Mind Yer Ps and Qs both received $100 fines as alternatives to a week suspension. In both cases, representatives cited large fines already charged by the state. Marci Stiles of Mind Yer Ps and Qs said her business had already been fined $1,500. Matt Dealer of Big Kahuna Wings said he had already paid See FINES on Page 2A

Town, FBA discuss funding for FY 2016-17 ■

BEN POUNDS bpounds@farragutpress.com

Farragut Business Alliance requested $70,000 of Town funding for next fiscal year. David Purvis, FBA president, and Alderman Louise Povlin, FBA Board member, explained their reasoning for the request and the actions of Farragut Business Alliance at a Board of Mayor and Alderman Workshop Thursday, May 12, at Town Hall. “FBA funding is not for the businesses. It’s for the Town,” Purvis said. “To be honest with

you, if I was not involved in FBA, my income would go up.” Purvis said 68 percent of the Town’s budget came from Sales Tax, yet the Town spends less than 1.64 percent of its total budget on economic development activities. FBA sponsors several events and projects. Purvis presented a budget of the organization’s proposed expenses and income for next fiscal year. Under the proposed budget $61,226 would be for general expenses, $30,000 would go to Shop Farragut, $2,500 would go

to Art in the Park, $27,500 would go toward Farragut Food Festival, $2,000 would go toward Light the Park and $4,000 would go toward attending the International Council of Shopping Centers and attracting business from it. Purvis said total expenses for the year would be $127,226. Purvis predicted a net gain of $2,774 for the organization this year. Purvis said about $45,000 out of the general expenses category was slated toward salaries. The category also includes the FBA website and storage facilities.

He said that amount for salaries will come out of the total budget, not just the $70,000 he requested from the Town. He said FBA had a goal to increase sponsorship dollars from other sources as well. Separate from the workshop, Allison Sousa provided a budget detail via e-mail, which listed the amount for contract labor as $46,500. Shop Farragut, which includes a mobile app and e-mail notification project, would receive $25,356 more under the proposed budget than last fiscal

year. The app includes links to a business directory, which is searchable for businesses by business name or category. It has links to businesses’ social media, events and deals. “We’re trying to expand it. We’re trying to get outside the market, meaning outside of just Farragut and drive more traffic with that. We’re trying to expand the time frame we’re doing it as well,” Purvis said. Sponsorships would pay $5,500 for events at shopping centers. See FBA on Page 4A

Beer Board approves two on-site licenses ■ BEN POUNDS

bpounds@farragutpress.com

Thanks to recent decisions by the town of Farragut Beer Board, Crossfit Farragut may now serve beer after yoga classes and the Kroger Marketplace at Brooklawn may serve 4-ounce samples of beer from local breweries on site. Mary Ann “Molly” Stiles, store manager of Kroger Marketplace at 189 Brooklawn St. applied for a permit to have a growler station inside of that store. The application is unrelated to Kroger’s recent approval for wine sales, although wine would be located nearby. The bar would serve beer from local breweries. “Those beers typically are not pasteurized. They’re a little bit pricey at times, but they’re also made here very locally,” she said. She said customers could try and see if they liked the beers from the different local breweries. The station would serve up to two pints in total, but only with-

$1,000 to the state due to wine license issues. Alderman Bob Markli said the lowered fine for Big Kahuna came with the condition that Big Kahuna Wings could provide a receipt for the transaction. “We’re zero tolerance, just like law enforcement,” Dealer said. He said Big Kahuna wings fired the employee who served the underage officer. Cory Barton, full-time manag-

in the 12 seat serving area. The Beer Board unanimously approved a Class 2 on site permit for Kroger’s growler area. Crossfit’s beer yoga classes will feature yoga routines followed by beer drinking. “Beer and yoga has taken off in many other states,” Shane Poteat, co-owner of Crossfit Farragut, said. “The example I can give you is probably Echelon [Bicycles]. That’s kind of the setup we’re looking at is just to provide a beer after a long hard, workout,” he said describing the idea behind beer and yoga. The Beer Board voted unanimously to approve a Class 2 on-site permit for the upcoming classes. Crossfit Farragut’s will hold the classes at their future location, 10803 Kingston Pike, which they have not yet opened. “The facility that we have right now just does not support the size or the occupancy we would have with the yoga classes,” he See BEER on Page 4A

er of Hana Suchi and Hibachi said the restaurant’s owners had hired him as a result of this incident. He described the owners as “devastated.” “Such a misrepresentation of the family name,” he said. Chang Sheng Yuan, manager for China Pearl spoke to the beer board through a translator about the incident and his efforts to prevent it from happening again. “We have taken tremendous measures,” he said. “My goal is to be moral, to operate by conscience,” he said.

policereports • On April 22, 2016, at 1:08 p.m., Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a vandalism to a business call at Sir Goony’s Family Fun Center at 10925 Kingston Pike in Farragut. The victim, owner of Sir Goony’s Family Fun Center, stated that he witnessed the suspect’s vehicle allegedly drive through the grass, running over the go cart railing and then onto the go cart track. The suspect drove around the track several times. The victim approached the suspect’s vehicle, a 2013 BMW SUV, to investigate and take pictures of the suspect’s vehicle. The victim was taking pictures of the suspect when the suspect tried to leave the go cart track bumping the victim’s leg. The suspect then backed up on the track went to the opposite side of the track, then ran over the railing onto the grass then circling around to exit onto the parking lot. The suspect then exited the business westbound onto Kingston Pike. The picture showed the suspect’s tag and Farragut High School parking pass number. Upon investigation the vehicle was located at Farragut High School. The suspect admitted to leaving Farragut High School and going onto property at 10925 Kingston Pike and driving onto the go cart tracks. The go cart railings were bent and the tires around the track were damaged as a result of the suspect driving over them. Warrants were issued

for aggravated assault and vandalism. Estimated loss is $500. • On April 23 at around 3:53 p.m., a Cross Bridge Circle complainant advised KCSO the suspect was allowed into his home to move items, upon the suspect leaving the complainant realized the items were missing. The complainant advised there could be others items missing but this is all he knows of at this time. The complainant advised the suspect works for the company he is selling his house through and was allowed into the home. The complainant was advised to contact Teleserve if more information arises. Estimated loss is $2,900. • On April 22 at around 3:51 p.m., a Somersworth Drive complainant advised KCSO he was looking over his Mastercard statement and noticed a transaction that he did not make. He advised the transaction was for a DeWalt drill kit from a store in Texas on March 28. The store advised the complainant the drill was ordered on-line and shipped to him at a Confederate Circle address. He advised he did not order it and that is not his residence. He advised the purchase was for $329. • On April 26 at around 11:54 a.m., a Sedgefield Road victim stated to KCSO that between 10 p.m., April 25, and 11:54 a.m., April 26, an unknown suspect took the 2016 renewal stickers off of the license plates of his

2002 Dodge Ram pickup truck and his 1995 Ford Explorer while the vehicles were parked at the residence. Value of the loss is $120. • On April 27 at around 10:40 a.m., an Alpine Road complainant advised KCSO that between noon, April 11, and 10:40 a.m., April 18, an unknown suspect stole her items from inside the hotel room at the Hampton Inn & Suites, 11340 Campbell Lakes Drive, Farragut. Complainant advised the only person she allowed in the room at this time was the cleaning lady. Complainant told the hotel supervisor and they stated she needed to file a police report. Missing were cosmetics, clothing and jewelry valued at $643. • On April 27 at around 3:09 p.m., a Crowfield Road complainant advised KCSO his phone was taken by two suspects. Complainant advised he went to Walgreens, 10701 Kingston Pike, and when he got home he noticed his phone missing. Complainant advised his friend then explained she accidentally gave it away to someone while at Walgreens, not realizing it belonged to the complainant. Complainant advised his friend stated she was standing outside, noticed a phone on the sidewalk, and starting asking people around her if the phone belonged to any of them. See COPS on Page 3A

“It’s exciting,” Alena Khomenko, Hardin Valley resident, said. “It’s fun for little ones. I wish they had something like that when I was growing up.” Patty Carter, Hardin Valley resident, brought her grandchildren, Preston Wagener, 6, and Jacob Stoner, 7, to Anchor Park for the fishing rodeo. “Bryan Watt, part of the [late] Bob Watt family, told us about the fishing event,” Kelley Stoner, Jacob’s mother, said. “I went with daddy fishing once, but I ate most of the [bait] corn,” Preston said. “The last time I fished it was in a little lake at my grandfather’s,” Jacob said. “I thought we were going to catch a bunch of fish,” Craig Dicus, Farragut resident said. He brought wife, Maggy, and sons, Joseph, Jackson and Cooper.

presstalk • I would encourage the town of Farragut leadership to please take a serious look at implementing a Hotel/Motel Tax. I just spent one night in Atlanta, Ga., and the State Tax $12.53, County Tax $8.95, Georgia State Hotel/Motel Fee $5. It would seem to me that the Town could implement this and help stave off the talk about Property Tax. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

you collapsed from exhaustion trying to be sure to make it go, trying to be manager, server, waiter busboy and probably even dishwasher? It’s not just that it’s our neighborhood restaurant, our comfort place. The Farragut Aubrey’s is an institution in this Town because of your support of schools and other organizations

delighted to see homeowners associations mentioned as partners for the FBA. She also said accountability was important. “What are the results? Seventy thousand dollars in the cosmos of things is not that much, but it is certainly enough that the people of Farragut want to know that we’re actually having progress with our Town’s future,” she said. “I haven’t read it enough to really make a comment,” she said following the workshop. Povlin said Farragut/West Knox Chamber of Commerce could not do FBA’s job because only 31 percent of its business members are located in Farragut. “Extending the services the

FBA provides to businesses outside of Farragut would not serve Farragut at all,” she said. Purvis said, “People look to [FBA] as an events organization, but we’ve done so much more behind the scenes … They only see the events, the fun stuff that we do, but that’s not what our Board’s here for. They’re all serious about trying to help the economic condition of this community. They don’t really want to be party planners. They want to be engaged in helping do the economic development.” He said FBA works on drawing in businesses and consumers from elsewhere to come to Farragut.

Purvis said these events would replace the Red White and Blues event, which was dropped from the FBA event calendar during a recent Board meeting. Farragut’s Economic Development Committee previously approved the FBA Memorandum of Understanding proposal at its meeting Wednesday, May 4.

Non-profit groups apply for Town grants ■

BEN POUNDS bpounds@farragutpress.com

Thirteen nonprofits applied for grants during a workshop for the Board of Mayor and Aldermen April 7. While money will not be granted to them for fiscal year 2016/2017 until BOMA approves a budget for that year, the event gave the organizations an opportunity to present their cases to the Aldermen. The total amount of money requested was $89,885. Kandis Burney, executive director, spoke for the Autism Society of East Tennessee and requested a grant of $3,000. Her group puts together activities for people with autism as well as their parents, and did not apply for any grants this year. R.E. Foust represented the Knoxville Volunteer Emergency Rescue Squad. He asked for $5,000 next year. “In Farragut, we estimate we have responded to at least 20 automobile accidents per

month,” he said. Elaine Streno, executive director of Second Harvest Food Bank, requested $2,385 to support a program to provide food for children at Farragut Primary and Farragut Intermediate schools. Celia Gruzalzki, assistant director of Concord Day Enrich-ment Services requested $5,000, an increase of $2,000 from this year. She is seeking money to provide scholarships to people who have early onset Alzheimer’s but cannot afford the $62 charge per day for people in her day programs. Karen Wooten requested $15,000 for Dogwood Arts, which would be an increase of $5,000 from this year. The funding increase would lead to a new sculpture to be displayed in Farragut as part of the Art in Public Places program. Jerry Martin requested $10,000 for Farragut High School Foundation, the same amount as last year. The FHS foundation secures funding to support cutting-edge programs and resources to ensure FHS students reach

their greatest potential. Gary Rowcliffe. president of the Hardin Valley Academy Education Foundation, requested $10,000, the same amount received this year. He said priorities for spending the money included advanced placement and honors training for teachers and the language lab. Ariel Allen, board member of Keep Knoxville Beautiful, requested $1,000, the same amount as this year. She said the money would pay for the green miles program and trash runs, cleanup supplies to lend to other groups and a recycling truck to lend for private or public events. Colin Cumesty requested

$3,000, $1,000 more than this year for the Knox County Fire Prevention Bureau. He said it would fund the annual Fall Fire Prevention Festival, the replacement of equipment including the generator on the events trailer, educational handout supplies and batteries to give away for smoke detectors. Buck Jones represented Knoxville News Sentinel Charities and requested $21,500, the same amount as this year. He talked about the News Sentinel Open at Fox Den Country Club. He said the event “has close to $1 million now to run it, but is putting more than $100,000 back into charities in the area.”

Andrew Wentzel, Knoxville Opera board member, requested $5,000, $3,000 more than this year. He said he would continue to bring educational programs to Farragut’s schools and community centers. Melaine O’Dowd, executive director of Sunshine Ambassadors requested $2,000, $1,000 more than last year for her group. Sunshine Ambassadors is a dance class for individuals living with disabilities. Dr. Ric Best requested $2,000 for Tennessee Wind Symphony, the same as this year. He said his group would continue to perform at Farragut schools and community locations.

Anthony DiFranco III, a 1998 Farragut High School graduate and Karns resident, is bringing his barbecue business to the greater Farragut area. DiFranco, owner of Fullservice BBQ, is converting the former ConocoPhillips gas station, located at the corner of Kingston Pike and David Lane in Knoxville, into a barbecue restaurant. “After the plans and permits are approved, it will take six to seven weeks of work before [the store] opens, if nothing goes wrong,” he said. The location will accommodate drive-thru and picnic-style service for outdoor dining. “We will have outdoor tables underneath the canopy,” DiFranco said. “We will have seating for about 55 to 60 [customers].” The former gas station building will house one big kitchen. Fullservice BBQ will carry pulled pork, pulled chicken, smoked sausage and St. Louiscut dry-rub ribs and all the fix-

ings to go with them. “We have some of the best beef brisket in the country,” DiFranco said. “We cook barbecue correctly, so we have exclusive woodfired smokers that don’t use gas or electricity. We produce our own smokers in house.” The David Lane location makes his third store. “We’re making a triangle around Knoxville, so, we have south, west and north, and they are all 20 minutes away from each other,” he said. DiFranco came up with the concept for the restaurant in 2008 and opened his first store in a gas station in Maryville in 2009. “That’s where the name [Fullservice] came from,” he said. “I’m a restaurateur. I was renting the location in Maryville with the intention of opening a burger restaurant. Due to construction issues with that property, I had to abandon the burger idea and chose something I could cook outside, so I taught myself how to cook barbecue.” DiFranco opened his second location at 104 Cedar Lane in 2015. Now, he has chosen to add

Rain barrel workshop scheduled

BEN POUNDS bpounds@farragutpress.com

Participants can build rain barrels and learn about their benefits at Farragut’s Rain Barrel Workshop. In partnership with the Water Quality Forum, town of Farragut will host the workshop from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, May 21, in Farragut Town Hall. “Rain barrels can serve really multiple functions,” Lori Saal, Farragut Stormwater coordinator, said. One function is water conservation. “They allow people to capture water as it falls off of their roof and they can utilize it for whatever purposes later, like irrigation of the garden they have. So, they’re saving water,” she said. Another benefit of rain barrels is saving money. “They’re saving money on their water bill in that they’re not using the public water source and having to pay that money for the same function of, perhaps, watering plants,” she said. The workshop will teach participants about benefits of rainwater harvesting. On a more practical level, Saal said participants also will learn how to build and install rain barrels to bring home. Every participant will receive a 55-gallon rain barrel ready for installation. All necessary hardware, including the hose for a See BARREL on Page 5B

Nystrom estimated a little more than 500 attendees are coming out to this year’s Oysterfest. “My hope is we run out of food,” he said. “We have about 4,000 oysters, and we have barbecued chicken, baked oysters and jambalaya. “This event helps us raise money for Childhelp, which operates Knox County’s child advocacy See OYSTER on Page 4B

Oysters, music and a good cause brought out hundreds to the 21st Annual Oysterfest to benefit Childhelp, which is celebrating 20 years of serving victims of child abuse in Tennessee, The festival, which started as a backyard event in the mid-1900s, attracted hundreds to Concord Marina off South Northshore Drive on Saturday, May 7. Attendees went around the vendors, trying peel ‘n eat

shrimp, oysters, barbecued chicken, fried okra, steamed mussels, a French fry bar, mac ‘n cheese, gourmet popsicles, beer, wine and margaritas. Attendees also were able to support Childhelp by participating in a silent auction to raise money for the agency. “It’s just a good cause,” Lauren Fansler, Knoxville resident, said. “I like to support Childhelp, and it’s good margaritas.” “We have gotten the best weather,” Hugh Nystrom, Childhelp director, said. “I’m

Farragut Primary School students had an opportunity to meet Schmitty the Weather Dog and learn about the weather during a visit from Schmitty and her owners, Elly McGuire and Ron Trotta. Elly McGuire, author of the children’s book, “Schmitty the Weather Dog: Daydream,” and her fiancé, Ron Trotta, New York meteorologist, read to the children and presented a weather program and sing-along to inspire students’ interest in science. “When you have a passion, and you use your brain, you can do anything you want,” McGuire said. “You just have to work hard and study hard.” “When I wrote the book, it took 35 times, over and over again to get it right.” “This is a big honor at Farragut Primary School,” Marshanda Pinchok, FPS Parent-Teacher Association vice president, said. The visit came about when Alison McKenzie, mother of Conner McKenzie, an FPS student and Trotter’s grandson, reached out to Pinchok, she said. “Her [fiancé's] grandson goes to this school, and he’s in class with my son, Brady Pinchok,” Pinchok said. “Conner’s mom told me about their program and said that they would make a special trip to Knoxville because [Con-ner] goes to school here.” McGuire said they already were traveling to Nashville and were

Thousands of attendees from the South last year flocked to Big Kahuna Wings Festival to enjoy wings from competitors, watch wing-cooking competitions and listen to live music. This year’s event is slated for Saturday, June 11, at World’s Fair Park in Knoxville.

It’s never too late to change your life A woman wrote that she'd been married for 25 years. Her husband had cheated on her more than once and she'd “lost” herself and hardly recognized her home or her person. She also wrote she knew it was never too late to change her life! This woman had successfully raised two happy sons and worrying about what her husband did and not focusing on what she was doing could very well have given him (in his cheating mind) a good excuse for the affairs. She knew focusing on getting her act together, could erase that excuse and down the road, he'd wonder what happened. When someone is unfaithful it's his/her problem. It’s only OUR problem if we make it ours. I remember going to my minister when my first husband was caught having an affair (I had three little kids and they came to the session with me because I couldn’t get a babysitter) and he told me that my job was to be the best me I could be, not for my husband but for me. Back when I was frumpy, suspicious, overweight and keeping a totally cluttered and dirty home, I knew what I needed to do. I knew disorganization affected every aspect of my life; my health, relationships, finances, appearance, recreation, hospitality etc. but I got temporarily stuck in self-pity. How can you eat a whole elephant? When I discovered that I could be organized with a sim-

ple system, I let go of the vision of a mountain to climb. In Sidetracked Home Executives: from pigpen to paradise my sister and I wrote, “You can only eat an elephant one bite at a time!” Not that we were into eating elephants, we just initially saw our “problem” as something so much bigger than Pam we were. Young When you Make it break any Fun! problem down into little bites you see that you are bigger than the problem and you can do anything in baby bites! Start with the intention to get organized just enough to please you. The best revenge is having a happy, successful life. My adult children have told me that their father would never be able to come to my home for any family get-together because he’d be too jealous of my success and happiness. My adult self isn’t into revenge, but there is a part of me that relishes that thought. Maybe it’s the good feeling we get when we know, “What goes around, comes around.” My prayer for you, if you have a story similar to the woman I wrote about in my story, is that you'll find yourself (if you are

lost in clutter and chaos) and realize you can do more than just survive; you can thrive. It's your job to be the best YOU that you can be, first for you and then for those you love. Baby bites. For more from Pam Young go to www.cluborganized.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized, lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.

asked to stop in Farragut. After McGuire read to the children, she and Trotta introduced Schmitty and presented the weather lesson. Each child in Conner’s class was given a book free of charge, Pinchok said. Trotta and Schmitty are the National Science Teachers As-sociation’s weather team. Schmitty has appeared on “Ellen” TV show, “World News Tonight,” on Central Park stage and with Oprah Womfrey. McGuire and Trotta combined their skills to do the program that merged their love of dogs and the weather, she said.

The agency’s services are free of charge for children, but Nystrom said it takes money to provide those services. Lucas Haan, Knoxville resident, said he came because the event supported a good cause and he came for the oysters. “We’ve been here the year before they started [the event],” Joe Thompson, Andersonville resident, said. While Chris Pooler of Andersonville said this was his fourth year to attend Oysterfest, Brian Butler, Andersonville resident, said this was his first year. “I used to work for Department of Human Services,” Shelby

Quinley, Lovell Hills resident, said. “We used Childhelp, and we’re here for them.” “We’ve been wanting to try Oysterfest,” Teckla Patterson, Farragut resident, said. “We’ve heard about it for several years so we decided to come and check it out,” Lydia Weems, Farragut resident, said. “We’ve been to this event for quite a few years,” Barbara Byrum said. “We like to support Childhelp,” Patrick Miller said. “This is good food and good fun for a great cause,” Trevor Carlyle, Maryville resident, said. “It’s a great charitable event,” Kim Gignac, who recently moved to Farragut, said. “Frank Venable, a sponsor, told me about it, so I decided to come and check it out. I think it’s great. It’s delicious.”

She said they will begin to build their barrels at the workshop and receive instruction on how to set up their barrels at home. “We call it a ‘make it take it workshop,’ because they really do make it there and then take it home” Saal said. Because there is a limited number of barrels, participants should register in advance. They can register by e-mailing Kellie Caughorn with Tennessee Water

Resources Research Center at kcaughor@utk.edu or by calling 865-974-2151. When calling or emailing, include their names, the workshop location at Farragut Town Hall, number of attendees, number of rain barrels, email address and phone number. While the rain barrels made in this workshop do not treat water for drinking, she said rain barrel users can use the water for other purposes, such as washing cars. Rain barrels often include a spigot to which users can attach a hose. They also often include netting for filtering leaves and mosquito eggs.

Farragut wins region opener KEN LAY Correspondent

KNOXVILLE — Farragut High School baseball coach Matt Buckner wasn’t quite sure if his team’s latest victory would score many style points and frankly, he didn’t really care. “We won the game and that’s all that counts this time of year,” Buckner said after the Admirals claimed a 3-0 victory over Karns in the Region 2-AAA Semifinal at Karns High’s Coach Dwight Smith Field Monday night. “We won and now we’re one win away from going to the State Tournament. “At Farragut, we take those things for granted sometimes because we get there so much. But if we win, we’ll get to go to the state tournament. Farragut (35-6) hosted Powell in the regional championship game Wednesday night at 6:30 at John Heatherly Field at The Ballpark at Farragut.

Both the Panthers (22-12) and the Admirals advanced to the state sectional round on Saturday by virtue of their respective victories Monday night. Powell also won on the road in the opening round of the region tournament when it outlasted defending Class AAA State Champion Hardin Valley Academy 2-1 in nine innings. F H S scored Admirals 3 t h r e e Beavers 0 unearned runs in the top of the first inning and that would be all of the offense that the Admirals needed thanks to a stellar performance from senior starting pitcher Dylan Pacifico. “I got a lead early and that really help,” said Pacifico, who hurled a complete game and kept the Beavers (30-9) at bay throughout the contest. “Nothing is easy this time of the year and they’re a good hitting team.

“I just let my defense do the work against the heart of their [batting] order.” Karns catcher Tucker Pate was one of the county’s top hitters in 2016 and cleanup man Chris Norton and No. 5 hitter Carson Roush are among the area’s top run produces. But on this night, that trio managed to go just 1-for-6 against Pacifico, who yielded just two hits and two walks against Karns, the District 3-AAA Champion. He finished the contest with eight strikeouts and ended the game when he got Josh Fielden to rap into a double play. “He was special tonight,” Buckner said of Pacifico. “This isn’t his first rodeo. He won in the district tournament this year and he won two games in the state tournament last year. “Tonight, he was all that I dreamed that he would be.” Pacifico and Admirals got an early lead when Farragut scored

HARDIN VALLEY — The Hardin Valley Academy softball team won its second consecutive District 4-AAA Tournament Championship Saturday afternoon. The Hawks, which won the title last seaHawks 2 son as the fifth seed, Red Rebels 0 prevailed in a 2-0 pitcher’s duel against topseeded Maryville. HVA won this title as the fourth seed. The Hawks stayed hot Monday night. HVA claimed a 2-1 victory over Powell at home in the Region 2-AAA Tournament. McCord’s tworun homer provided all the offense that HVA would need against Powell ace Allison Farr. Wynne had seven strikeouts in the game. “These kids have so much heart and when they set their minds on what they want, they go out and get it,” Hawks coach Whitney Hickam-Cruze said. “When they get a goal on their minds, they go out and achieve it.” Hardin Valley’s journey in the district tournament wasn’t without a few road bumps. The Hawks (26-12-1) emerged from the winner’s bracket but lost to William Blount on Tuesday May 10. HVA faced the Governors again the following day and hung on to record an 8-7 victory and advanced to the championship game. The title game was rescheduled for Saturday due to rain on Thursday, May 12. Maryville held its graduation ceremony Friday night and answered an early wake-up call on Saturday. The Red Rebels (36-10-2) and Hawks battled through two scoreless innings with pitchers Caylan Arnold (Maryville) and Kaleigh Wynne (Hardin Valley) each posting dominant performances in the circle.

Admirals pitching ace Dylan Pacifico threw a complete shutout game against the Karns Beavers to help Farragut advance to the regional championship Monday, May 16 at Karns High School.

Bearden wins title despite shooting woes ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

KNOXVILLE — Despite struggling to find its shooting touch, the Bearden High School boys soccer team managed to manufacture enough offense to capture the 2016 District 4AAA Tournament Championship Saturday night. The Bulldogs, which won the regular-season title, hit the goalposts or the crossbar five times in a 1-0 victory over second-seeded Maryville at Bruce Allender Field. “I guess we’re going to need wider goals,” Bearden coach Ryan Radcliffe said. “We hit the crossbar a lot and we could’ve gotten

frustrated but we kept going at it. “That shows the maturity of our team. We could’ve hung our heads and given up. But our kids didn’t.” The Red Rebels (14-5-2) sustained Bulldogs 1 s o m e e a r l y Red Rebels 0 pressure and fired the first two shots of the match.

Defending state champs fall in region semifinals

KEN LAY Correspondent

HARDIN VALLEY — Hardin Valley won’t get the chance to defend its 2015 Class AAA State Championship. The Hawks saw its season come to an abrupt end in Monday night’s Region 2-AAA Semifinals. HVA came up on the short end of a 2-1 nine-inning contest against Powell at home. “It’s tough,” Hawks coach Joe Michalski Hawks 1 said. “It’s t o u g h Panthers 2 because any time that you get to this point, you can almost taste it because you’re two wins away from going to the State Tournament. “We came into the season wanting to win a state championship and we went after it.” Powell, the District 3-AAA runner-up, took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when pitcher Peyton Alford’s sacrifice fly plated Cameron Payne with the game’s first run. The Hawks (27-8-1) tied the game with a run in the bottom of the opening frame. Dylan Harris led off with a single and later scored when senior Tyler Thompson (an Austin Peay signee) tripled. “Dylan legged out an infield hit and he scored when Tyler tripled,” Michalski said. “Our kids really competed hard. But Powell was really competing hard too. “This is a disappointment because we really thought that we would win this game. This was one of the best baseball games that I’ve ever seen. It’s a game that I will never forget. It stinks to come out on the wrong end of a game like this. We thought we would win. But Powell had the same kind of attitude. These

things just happen sometimes.” Hardin Valley sophomore starter Ryder Green (a Kentucky commitment) battled Alford pitch for pitch but left the game with one out in the top of the seventh. Green surrendered an unearned run, five hits and three walks before giving way to Thompson, who went 2 2/3 innings. He gave up a hit, an unearned run and three walks. He struck out three Panthers.

Powell (22-14) scored the eventual winning run in the top of the ninth. Payne singled to lead off the frame and stole second. He advanced to third when Thompson uncorked a wild pitch. Payne, who stole two bases and scored both of the Panthers’ runs, came home with the goahead run when Noah Malicoat singled. Hardin Valley had two runners on in the ninth but Alford

escaped damage. “My guys battled,” Michalski said. “Ryder pitched well and so did Tyler. But Peyton did a great job. “We had four or five great plays that kept us in the game. When we had those two runners on in the ninth, we thought we would win the game.” Michalski was obviously emo-

HARDIN VALLEY — An injury riddled and adversity filled Admirals 3 2016 season Red Rebels 6 came to an end for the Farragut High School softball team recently. The Admirals saw its season come to a close with a 6-3 loss to top-seeded Maryville in the District 4-AAA Tournament on Wednesday, May 11, at Hardin Valley Academy. Farragut (23-14) battled adversity throughout the 2016 campaign as many of its top players missed significant playing time due to injury but coach David Moore said that he was pleased with the way that his veteran squad handled misfortune throughout the year. “I was really proud of our girls for their effort,” Moore said. “It would’ve been nice to have them all together to see what we could’ve done. But it is what it is. “If we didn’t learn anything else this year, we certainly learned how to handle adversity.”

Admirals season ends with hard loss to rival ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

MARYVILLE — Farragut High School boys soccer coach Ray Dover saw his first season come to an end on Wednesday, May 11, in the District 4-AAA semifinals. The Admirals dropped a 2-1 decision to Maryville at John Sevier Elementary School but Dover and his squad aren’t dwelling on the past. The coach, who completed his first year, and his team have already turned the calendar to next year. “The 2017 season began at 8:47 p.m. on May 11,” Dover said. “It began when that final whistle

sounded in Maryville. “We’re going to take the kids to camp this summer for the first time and we’re going to begin working to get better for next year. I’m really proud of the boys for the effort that they gave us. But you have to tip your hat to Maryville. They played really well.” Farragut (11-4-4) outshot the Red Rebels 15-13 and took the early lead in the match. Senior John Totten scored the game’s first goal on a header in the sixth minute. “We took the lead when we scored early against Maryville,” Dover said. “We outshot Maryville. “We outshot in most of the

games that we played. We just had trouble finishing. We had trouble getting the ball in the back of the net. Scoring is an art. It’s not a science. We had probl e m s scoring Admirals 1 this year Red Rebels 2 and that was a problem last year too. We had trouble finishing shots.” Maryville (14-4-2) pulled even when Admirals senior goalkeeper when Chris Fernandez tallied in the 16th minute. That sequence began when Admirals senior goalkeeper Eli Lewis was called for a foul when he collided

with Maryville’s Will Barham in the goal box. Red Rebels forward Chris Fernandez misfired on the set piece but came up with the rebound and buried the ball in the back of the net to knot the game 1-1. The Red Rebels tallied the game-winning goal in the 75th minute when Matthew Campbell found the back of the Admirals’ net. The goal sealed the win for Maryville, which beat the Admirals twice this season and knocked Farragut out of the postseason for the first time. The victory also helped the Red

Arnold, who finished the contest with 12 strikeouts, retired the first six Hawks she faced and fanned four hitters over the first two frames. Wynne, meanwhile, surrendered a one-out single to Callahan Baker in the bottom of the first. She finished the game with 18 strikeouts. She opened the game by fanning the side in each of the first three innings and that gave the Hawks the opportunity to take the lead in the top of the third. Freshman Jasmine Goodman doubled after running the count full against Arnold. Emalee McCord, another freshman, also ran the count full before drawing a walk to put runners on first and second. Both runners advanced when Aubry McGuire successfully executed a sacrifice bunt. After Arnold struck out Haley Cloud, Wynne came to the plate and was intentionally walked to load the bases. That set the stage for sophomore Mikaela Chavis. Chavis, a key player in HVA’s deep postseason run last year (that ended at the Class AAA State Tournament in Murfreesboro) singled to drive in Goodman and McCord with what would turn out to be the only two runs of the contest. “When Kaleigh got walked, it made us all mad and we all knew that we had to have her back,” Chavis said. “I think the pitch was a drop ball, but I’m not sure. But I knew that I had to get a hit. “Any time Kaleigh gets walked, she gets mad because she wants

Ben Smith. “Bearden played a great game,” Red Rebels coach Steve Feather said. “They’re just so quick.” The Bulldogs created several scoring opportunities. But Smith made some stops and got some help from the goal frame. “I really thought we would get more [goals], Bearden junior midfielder T.J. Seaman said. “We hit the posts several times but when we hit the posts, I think it really gave us the confidence that we needed. “When we hit the posts, we knew we could get shots against them. We’re confident but Maryville is a great team and I bet we’ll see them again [in Thursday’s Region 2-AAA Championship match].” The Bulldogs, which struggled with shooting accuracy throughout the opening 40 minutes, finally got on the board in the 16th minute when senior forward Gabe Alvarez fielded a pass from Seaman and banged it past Smith and into the back of the Maryville net from 25 yards out.

to hit. I like the fact that I can get a hit and help out my teammates.” Wynne noted that she thought that her intentional walk irritated Chavis. “I think when I got walked, it made her mad,” Wynne said. It was the fourth game between Maryville and the Hawks. Both teams recorded two wins with the Red Rebels sweeping the regularseason series and Hardin Valley nabbing two postseason wins. “I’m glad it was Maryville [in the district championship game],” said Wynne, who struck out the side in the bottom of the third. “You always want to beat a team that wants to get revenge on you. “We played solid defense and we got some clutch hits.” Hardin Valley left the bases

loaded in the fourth and came up empty despite getting a single from Leslie Beecham before Goodman and McGuire walked. Arnold averted damage when she caught Cloud swinging. Maryville had its chances to win the district championship in the bottom of the fourth. The Red Rebels got a pair of one out hits when Anna Alloway singled and advanced to third on a double by Arnold. But Maryville was turned away when Wynne fanned Kallie Singleton and Brooke Parker to extinguish the threat and end the inning. Red Rebels coach David Allen commended the work of his senior pitcher, who recently signed with the University of Tennessee.

Rebels avenge two consecutive playoff losses to the Admirals. For Dover, the 2016 campaign served as a building year and he noted that he wanted his players to leave the field having learned some vital life lessons. “Year one is really year zero [for a new coach], he said. “You come in and you establish a culture. “I’m using this [loss] to teach the boys lessons about life and not just sports. In life, you’re going to have these things happen to you. You have disappointments is life. We all do and you have to know how to come back from them.”

Bearden tallied its lone marker of the match from long range but the Bulldogs misfired on several shots from point-blank range as the ball often sailed over the top or went wide. “It [the goal] was from about 25 yards,” Alvarez said. That marker was enough to enable the Bulldogs to capture a second victory over the Red Rebels and claim the district championship. Bearden won the regular-season match between the two sides. The Bulldogs notched a hard-fought 4-3 win in Blount County on April 14. Alvarez said that the earlier game against Maryville served as a bit of a wakeup call. “I told the team before the game that we really needed to win this game,” he said. “Nothing is ever easy in this district. This is the district of death “Going forward, we can take nothing lightly.” Bearden had already advanced to the Region 2-AAA Tournament by virtue of its regular-season championship but Seaman said that Saturday night’s win was huge for the Bulldogs.

Farragut From page 7B

The third-seeded Admirals opened the postseason with a pair of wins over Lenoir City and second-seeded William Blount and appeared poised to make a run to the Region 2-AAA Tournament. Farragut emerged from the winner’s bracket before losing to top-seeded Maryville twice. The Admirals had a chance to advance to the district championship game but dropped a 3-0 decision to the Red Rebels on Tuesday, May 10, as Maryville’s

ace pitcher Caylan Arnold tossed a no-hitter and posted 18 strikeouts. The Admirals’ loss set up a second game against the Red Rebels. Arnold, again, fanned 18 Farragut hitters. But this time, the Admirals managed three hits off The University of Tennessee signee. Farragut, which was without center fielder Andrea Sarhatt (who suffered a hand injury in the first tournament game against Maryville) fell behind 5-1 after three innings before coming back to make things interesting. The Admirals pulled to within

5-3 in the top of the fifth before the Red Rebels tallied another run in the bottom of the frame. “We battled our way back and we gave ourselves a chance to win. That’s all you can ask,” Moore said. “Our kids battled hard all year. “We came back and scored a couple of runs and we kept battling. This year we had some younger players who had to come in and step up because we had so many injuries. Hopefully, they’ll be ready for next year. We’re really going to miss our seniors.” Sophomore third baseman Kelsie Tuggle had two key hits

for the Admirals. She had a solo home run and contributed an RBI single. She was named to the all-tournament team, along with senior first baseman Mary Claire Coyne. Senior Morgan Stapleton drove in Farragut’s other run with a hit. Despite the injuries, Farragut won some big games and had some bright spots in 2016. Senior shortstop Niki Slone, Coyne and junior catcher Lexee Lamoree were named to the all-District 4-AAA team by the league’s coaches. Tuggle and Sarhatt received all-district honorable mentions.

Hawks From page 7B

tionally shaken after the game but he took the time to commend the 2016 senior class for its accomplishments. “This group of seniors won the first District 4 championship in school history this year,” Michalski said. “They won a State Championship last year and they also won a District 3 Championship. “The one year that they didn’t win a district championship, they finished in first place during the regular season.”
