Farragut High School’s 427 graduating seniors talked about struggles, becoming leaders and going after dreams. The school held its commencement exercises Saturday, May 16, in Thompson-Boling Arena. “I waited my whole life for this one hour,” Jade Pride said before the event. FHS principal Stephanie Thompson said scholarships offered for the FHS class totaled about $40 million. One scholarship was to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, which chose seniors Daniel Ford and Michael Larson to receive a $400,000 four-year scholarship. Commencement speaker Chase Biefeldt described his rise
from the struggles following a house fire resulting from a lightning strike to his excelling in school. “Every single one of us face struggles,” Biefeldt said, adding school and athletics were his safe havens from the stress at home. “I finally realized college was just around the corner,” he said. “I worked hard to build back my GPA.” Biefeldt said this year he had the best academic semester of his life. “I went from dirt and rubble to a blossoming flower,” he said. “We will face hardships. It’s how we deal with those hardships that define our lives.” Another speaker, Joshua Cook, encouraged fellow classmates to
make a difference. “I encourage you all to be difference makers,” Cook said. He referred to U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander’s guiding principles, to be leaders and pioneers in what they care about. “Farragut High School already prepared us to be leaders and pioneers,” he said. “Thus, every single one of us has the opportunity to be leaders and pioneers and make a difference.” Cook also referred to David Foster Wallace who talked about taking a forgiving perspective and give the benefit of a doubt to others. Bailey Newsom, another speaker, invited classmates to look back at their years at See FHS on Page 4A

Hardin Valley Academy seniors prepare to cheer once they are declared graduates at commencement exercises Saturday, May 16, at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Hardin Valley Academy’s senior class members were challenged to strive for an unstoppable work ethic, be an individual and keep learning during their graduation ceremony. “I feel great,” Will Neely said. “These last four years have flown by.” The event, Saturday, May 16, in Thompson-Boling Arena marked a beginning of the class furthering its education.
HVA principal Sallee Reynolds said total scholarships offered the HVA class was more than $24.2 million. “I believe my education is my responsibility and absolutely critical to my success,” Mary Elizabeth Dew, one of Hardin Valley’s commencement speakers, said. “I have a lot to learn as much as I can. “We are given the opportunity to expand our knowledge,” she said. While at HVA, she said an administrator told students,
“Strap in and get your learn on.” Dew said she learned that teacher was telling students to focus. “Strive for a work ethic that is unstoppable,” she said. “We were endowed with a gift of a free education in Tennessee to help us discover our own success,” she said. Dew quoted Albert Schweitzer: “‘Success is not the key to happiness; happiness is the key to success.’” See HVA on Page 4A

Bearden High School graduates challenged fellow graduates to find their place in the world. Bearden seniors graduated Friday, May 15, in ThompsonBoling Arena. “Walking through the halls of Bearden High School every day, I have seen the impact of each and every one of you on our school,” class president Adam Hasan said during the commencement. “You are the artists, the scholars, the leaders, the athletes and the activists. “We find unity in shared experiences, these moments of connection that bring us together as a school, as a community,” he said. “But as we all transition to the next stage of our lives, many of our paths will lead us to the far corners of the Earth. But, I’m
certain no matter how far our travels take us, we will find a home and a family that cares about us right here at Bearden High School. Hasan quoted educator Tom Little: “‘Success can be measured in how we find our place in the world.’” “I challenge each of you to find your place in the world and strive to make that place a happy one,” he said. Katherine Bobrek, co-valedictorian, said she found a short essay in a to-go paper bag at Chipoltle’s. The essayist, producer Joe Apatow, described 500 people at his high school, many he never got the chance to meet because of the size of the school and their diverse interests. “He expressed that their personality differences prevented See BHS on Page 4A

Farragut area residents will get to hear singer/songwriter Casey Abrams celebrate the Independence Day holiday when he performs at the Red, White & Blues Pre-Independence Day Picnic. “I’m stoked on it,” Abrams said about performing in Farragut. “It’s going to be pretty hot.” Co-hosted by town of Farragut and Farragut Business Alliance, the event is slated for 6:30 p.m., Friday, July 3, at Renaissance | Farragut, a move from last year’s venue in Farragut. “The property next to the farragutpress has been a terrific location for this event, so I have very mixed feelings about moving it,” Allison Sousa, FBA executive director, said. “But the lawn at Renaissance | Farragut is gorgeous, the infrastructure is more accessible, and we’re excited that that Myers Bros.

“I’m very excited to be playing some music,” Abrams said. “I’ve never played this event. I’ve heard some good things about it.” He described his music as jazzrock. See ABRAMS on Page 2A

“It’s got the sound of rock and roll but the improvisation of jazz,” he said. The Farragut community can expect to be part of the performance, Abrams added. “If you come to the show, no one is safe,” he said, adding he sings and interacts with his audiences. “I like to make it a 3-D performance,” he said. Abrams’ creative influences started early with his parents, Ira Abrams and Pamela Pierce. While both were in the film industry, he said his father plays guitar and his mother plays a little piano. “But it’s also a story of a person who studied diligently and worked extremely hard, striving toward his dream of a life in music,” his agent, Susie Giang, said of Abrams. Creative influences continued while he was a student of Idyllwild Arts Academy, a private film school above Palm Springs, Calif., but Abrams said his music was influenced by Jack Black’s band, Tenacious D, and Frank Sinatra. “Tenacious D really helped me with the rock aspect, and the Frank Sinatra [influence] really helped me with the jazz aspect,” he said. After competing on “American Idol” in 2011, he released a selftitled debut album in 2012 through Concord Records. Abrams is about to go on tour
with the band Postmodern Jukebox. He will join the group midway through that tour, starting in North Carolina before it heads to Nashville, Chicago, Florida and Toronto, he said. “[Postmodern Juke-box] is popular on YouTube,” Abrams said. “They will take a song from Taylor Swift and remix it into an old song.” Another project to which Abrams said he is looking forward is another musical release. ”I will be playing some new songs at the [Red, White & Blues] event,” he said. “Hopefully, I will put those songs on a new record.” Besides the RW&B, Abrams said he also will be performing at a couple of jazz festivals. Tennova Healthcare is sponsoring Abrams’ appearance at Red, White & Blues. “Tennova Healthcare is excited to partner with the Farragut Business Alliance in bringing Casey Abrams to Town for the Red, White & Blues PreIndependence Day Picnic,” Melanie Burgess, vice president of development for Tennova Healthcare, said. “The physicians and staff of Tennova Healthcare are committed to this community, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate with you than through the Red, White & Blues Pre-Independence Day Picnic. We hope to see a big crowd join us for Casey’s show and this great event.”

Farragut slow learner? Didn’t Farragut learn anything from last November’s fiasco brought on by an organizer who messed traffic up terribly during “Farragut’s first-ever half marathon?” This new marathon, Race 13.1, May 17, is being held by a for profit organization. [Board of Mayor and Aldermen] — Where was your head when you approved? This organization will be making a profit from our suffering the traffic woes they bring on. There were all sorts of traffic problems last November. I live in Andover Place (Only one in and out). Will I be able to drive to church or must I have to join the runners in order to attend church services? My run will need to be 2.5 miles. I’m an old geezer. Will someone supply oxygen for me? Once again I would like to emphasize this is a for profit organization! Why are we allowing this? This is contrary to the last sentence in the farragutpress article stating, “Proceeds benefit Huntington’s Disease Society of America.” This statement is very misleading. They will donate all proceeds donated by you, designated to the HDSA, to HDSA. They will get credit for your donation. The Race 13 entrance form calls for an entrance fee of $35, $45 or $85 depending on the length of race desired. Near the
any lasting relationship,” she said. “But, I disagree with Apatow,” Bobrek said. “Five hundred different people are here tonight to graduate. We’re all taking diverging paths at this point.” “The differences between us does not mean we did not make lasting relationships with each other over these four years,” she said, then quoted Walt Disney: “‘All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.’ “It definitely takes courage to understand different points of view,” Bobrek said. “Each one of you is a protago-
From page 1A
bottom of the entrance form is a box labeled as follows from the entrance form: “Donations: Huntington’s Disease Society of America The Huntington’s Disease Society of America is the largest 501(c)(3) non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by Huntington’s Disease. The Society works to provide the family services, education, advocacy and research to provide help for today and hope for tomorrow to the more than 30,000 people diagnosed with HD and the 200,000 at-risk in the United States. Race 13.1’s charity partner will receive 100 percent of all proceeds from donations.” You are crazy to fill this out. Donate yourself and receive credit for a charitable donation when you do your tax return. In summary — Why are we allowing a for profit organization to disrupt our community? Oh – wait a minute! Are you thinking they might stop and smell the flowers while running? They might want to live here? I’m sending this on Saturday May 16, 2015. I hope things go well tomorrow. Hopefully, you won’t be reading my “OBIT” on Monday morning. Roger C. Legako Farragut

nist in the story which we experience daily,” Evan Hill, co-valedictorian, said. “According to our perspective, we are located at the epicenter of the events that make up life. “We all experience life on our own first-person perspective,” he said. “Even though we may not be selfish people, it’s easy to fall into the trap that our own lives occupy the most important position.” Hill urged classmates to pay attention to their fellow protagonists, making their way through their own stories, and remember each has a story as complicated as classmates’ own stories. BHS principal Dr. John Bartlett challenged the class to be thankful, count their bless-
ings and accept the responsibilities to improve on their education, make a better world with it and use it. Likewise, he challenged them to share their gifts with others and to show unconditional love to others. Bartlett said U.S. News and World Report ranked BHS eighth in Tennessee. Along with that ranking, Barlett said the total scholarships offered for BHS Class of 2015 is more than $24.1 million. He recognized retiring faculty and staff: Stanley Hillard, Paulette Milligan, Marilyn Paulk -Hillard and Kathryn Waddel. Doug Harris was named Alumnus of the Year.
remember what it felt like to work hard for things he cared about. “As each semester passed, the skill of learning itself was sharpened,” he said. “Our careers may change, but we will have to keep learning to succeed.” Sierra Palmer, the third commencement speaker, urged her class to have he courage to “stay weird” and be an individual. Palmer related how Graham Moore of “Imitation Game” said he felt weird and different in high school. She said she felt weird as well. “I felt like I didn’t fit in,” she said. Then Palmer met students on the robotics team and found her place. “I was soon welcomed into a world where I could expand my scientific knowledge,” she said. Palmer urged the class to follow their passions and dreams as well.
“You have to take your passions wherever you go. You never know who you might inspire,” she said. Another speaker, Weldon Wright, talked about “Sweating it out,” talking about developing a worth ethic. Wright said his father would get up at 4 a.m. to get to work before everyone else and had that ethic, but added it was his teachers who saw his potential and prepared him to be a lifelong learner. He challenged his class to develop mental toughness, do not lose focus and “straighten up and fly right.” During the commencement, senior Brandon Pollock won a $250 Hawk Award from the Hardin Valley’s Parent Teacher Association. Sam Feldman and Kaitlin McLeod shared valedictorian, and Chase Tope was salutatorian.

“Go after your dreams,” Edge said. Thompson announced this year’s valedictorians are, Hyungdon Joo and Kai Smith, and salutatorian is Melissa Yu. Joo, Smith and four others were in Nebraska, competing in the National Science Olympiad Tournament, during the graduation ceremony, so the school arranged to have a live feed, allowing these seniors to graduate with their class. Smith’s mother, Chang-Hong Yu, accepted her son’s valedictorian medal.

Farragut High School and shoot for the stars as they prepare themselves for future occupations. Newsom reminded her class they were big dreamers as youngsters but later settled for seeking practical occupations. “Why are we pushing ourselves so hard to be settling and going to college for a nine-to-five job? That one thing is money,” she said. “We are letting those numbers decide whether we let our dreams stay dreams.
Karate Summer Camp Program
“KIDS LOVE IT!” “Children should do two things as young as possible. Learn to swim and take karate.” This summer we can help you accomplish part of that recommendation. The purpose of our Summer Camp is to teach children sportsmanship, how to respect authority, the value of being disciplined, self-defense without fighting and stimulating self-confidence. Our course has proven time and time again that once a child develops these attributes – self-esteem, courage, healthy minded body – then attitudes change and their overall happiness improves. Call now to make reservations for the first session.

Cops From page 2A
Complainant advised when he confronted the suspects the female left the store and fled in a white Toyota Camry and the male suspect was combative towards him before he also left Marshalls. • On May 11, a Lake Heather Road complainant stated between April 14 and now, an unknown suspect has used her and her husband’s personal information to file federal taxes. She advised they received a letter from the IRS advising them to file a report. • On May 14, a Midhurst Drive complainant states between 8 p.m., May 13, and 7:05 a.m., May 14, an unknown suspect took his vehicle from the residence driveway. Complainant advised the vehicle was left unlocked but no spare key was inside. Copy of report sent to LEIDS for NCIC entry. Value of loss is about $8,000. • On May 11, a Woodedge Lane complainant stated between April 25 and now, his father/victim had a Ruger LCR .38 special revolver with black laser grips built in and a nickel plated barrel firearm taken from his residence. Complainant advised his father’s residence has been undergoing some remodeling
and he does not have any signs of his residence being burglarized. He said his father/victim has had several people in and out of his home during this time. His father advised the last time he had seen the firearm was before he had a plumber come to the residence and after that the firearm was gone. He did not want to list the plumber as a suspect because he is not positive of him being the one who took the weapon. He did want to state the name of the company and the phone number. He advised KCSO of the plumber’s name and that he had an unknown male helper with him. Copy of report sent to LEIDS for NCIC entry. Value of the loss is $650. • On May 14, an Amberset Drive complainant states between 12:30 and 2:25 p.m. an unknown suspect entered his vehicle while it was parked at Gold’s Gym off Canton Hollow Road and took various items from his wallet. Complainant advised the vehicle was locked at time of incident but no damage was done. Value of the loss is $150. • On May 15 at about 11:35 a.m., a Kenesaw Avenue complainant stated between 7:30 and 11:35 a.m., an unknown suspect had taken the license plate from her vehicle while it was parked at Turkey Creek Medical
Center. She advised all the screws are gone along with the license plate. Complainant’s husband looked at all of the security footage they have at their residence the night before this happened and he could not find anything. The license plate was not on file due to the complainant having renewed a previous plate and the DMV did not have the updated information on file at the time of the report. Complainant faxed over her registration with the vehicle information on it for NCIC entry. The plate was supposed to be on a GMC Yukon, but the DMV advises that the plate was not transferred over to the Yukon and therefore is not coming back on file. • On May 15 at about 5 p.m., a Battle Front Trail compliant stated sometime around April 16 a suspect came to his residence and spoke with the victim about doing lawn work for him. Victim agreed to let suspect build some flower beds using railroad ties and mulch. Suspect and victim agreed on a price of $2,800 for the work that was to be done. Suspect told victim that he needed $1,400 in advance to pay for the 40 railroad ties and mulch. Victim gave him a check. Suspect brought a few railroad ties and built a mulch bed on the property but never returned to

World War II POW recounts experience For more than three decades, George Hatcher has found a therapeutic way of dealing with the unimaginable trauma, depravation and punishment endured as a German prisoner of war, for almost one year, during World War II. “Most veterans, about 99 percent, when they come home from a war they don’t George Hatcher want to talk about it. They want to forget it, and I was the same way,” said Hatcher, age 94 from Erwin in Unicoi County, a U.S. Army Eighth Air Corps radio operator, 457th Heavy Bomber Group, 749th Bomb Squadron — the “Flying Fortress” crew.

Hatcher From page 5A
Hatcher was shot down by German fire May, 27. 1944. Liberated April 29, 1945, while weighing just 134 pounds, “I got an honorable discharge the 20th of October [1945]. I went back to work two days later to try and put the war behind me,” Hatcher said. “When I retired in ’83 I went to the VA Mountain Home and met a psychiatrist … and I asked him when I would start forgetting some of this stuff. I couldn’t sleep,” Hatcher, who earned a Silver Star and Bronze Star for his sacrifice, added. “He said, ‘You’ll never forget it,’ and I said, ‘Well, what am I going to do?’ “He said, ‘The best thing for you to do, George, is to go to schools and churches and tell your story.’ And he said the best thing I could do is write my story.” Putting that advise into practice, “I’ve told my story a lot of times, and it does help,” said Hatcher, who between his various speaking engagements and two hours of daily exercise also authored a book about his experiences. That book, “My World War II Experiences,” has been used by his niece, Farragut Primary School second-grade teacher Melinda Day Webster, as a teaching tool.
“My second-grade students at Farragut Primary have been keeping a scrapbook, which includes photos of Mr. Hatcher. … It also includes patriotic poems from George, a copy of his book he wrote and photos of the Flying Fortress crew,” Webster said. “Each student wrote a reflection page with an illustration to share what they learned from his experience, and we created a class book to mail to my Uncle George. They also generated some questions they had about his book for him to answer. “I hardly ever turn anybody down. … People seem to really enjoy it. And it gives me a feeling that I’m worth something,” Hatcher said about speaking. Hatcher is one of the famed Erwin Nine — nine pilots all from Erwin who found themselves starving and suffering in the same German POW camp among hundreds, Stalag Luft 4. “I knew all of them. We grew up together, played ball together, went fishing together. … We went to school together. We all survived the war, all came back,” Hatcher said of the nine. Two of the other eight are still living according to Hatcher: Dick Franklin and Stanley “Homer” Norris. Reflecting back to when he was shot down, “When I was captured I was wounded. … I didn’t have any medical attention,” Hatcher said.
However, “I remembered the Bible saying, ‘God will never leave you nor forsake you.’ And another place it said, ‘He will never put on you more than you can bear.’ It gave me a lot of courage and a lot of confidence,” Hatcher said. “And I think that’s what brought me and the rest of the Erwin Nine through it all. “I guess the Lord is still with me. I’m 94 years old and still in pretty good health.” But on May 27, 1944, “I was alone when I was captured and the Germans marched me through town, with people on both sides of the street shaking clubs and sticks and calling me a ‘gangster’ and ‘swine,’” Hatcher said. “It was a very tough time. “Then they took me to the top of a mountain where they shot me down, took our picture. I have the picture in my possession,” he added. “Then they took and put me in a dungeon.” However, “The worst time of my entire POW experience” came when scores of POWs were transferred inside one boxcar in early 1945, Hatcher said. Though told it was 13 days, “I’m not sure. It was several days.” “We were in a 40-by-80-[foot] boxcar, it’s made for 40 men or eight horses. And they put 70, 72 men in each car,” Hatcher added. “We didn’t have any water to drink for a long time … at least two or three days. And my tongue got hard like a rock.”

Finally, “They gave us one drink of water out of the same cup and that was just a couple of swallows of water. And that’s all we had during that time,” Hatcher said. “And we had one bucket for a toilet,” he added. “There wasn’t any room for anybody in the car to lay down to get comfortable. … We had a little bit of food, but we couldn’t eat the food without water.” With Allied Forces not knowing American POWs were in the boxcars, “We were bombed and strafed by American planes and British planes. … The train was not marked by Red Cross markings,” Hatcher said. Bringing in “a lot of wounded prisoners” following the Battle of the Bulge in late 1944, German guards were spreading the erroneous news that “New York City is devastated” by Axis bombing, Hatcher said. “When I got on the ship to come home, we were, I believe, about 12 days coming across the ocean, coming to New York Harbor,” Hatcher said. “I had a sleepless night. I couldn’t wait for it to get daylight so I could see the damage the Germans said about what happened to New York. “When it finally did get daylight, the sun was shining on the buildings and they were beautiful,” Hatcher added. “They were untouched by the war, and it
gave me a warm feeling of pride knowing that our motto ‘In God We Trust’ is great. “And I looked to my left, and that’s when I saw the Statue of Liberty, and tears filled my eyes. I realized at that moment that my horrible ordeal was finally over.” When liberated in April 1945, “I hadn’t heard from home in about 19 months. I didn’t know how many of my friends or family was still living,” Hatcher said. “It was a dread to me all the way home, I didn’t know what I was going to encounter when I got home.” One of 11 children, “When I got home my mother [Fanny Lasure Hatcher] and some of my brothers met me on the bus. … They walked around to be sure I didn’t have a leg or an arm or anything missing,” Hatcher said. “It was a wonderful, wonderful experience. I guess there were a few tears shed.” “We were closer together, more so, after the war.” As for communication while Hatcher was a POW, “After my mother received the first telegram saying I was missing in action, I think it was about six weeks — I don’t know exactly how low — before she got the second telegram that I was a prison of war,” he said. “I’m sure that was a relief to them.”

sectional thriller. With the Admirals six outs from losing down 2-0, it ended 32 in eight innings Friday, May 15, at FHS’s John Heatherly Field. “To our credit we just never give in,” FHS head coach Matt Buckner said about his Admirals, who improved to 37-6. “We’ve found a way a lot. … Our guys See FHS TO STATE, Page 11A

Hardin Valley Academy boys soccer team will try to send off its highly regarded senior class, and the only head coach this seven-year-old program has ever had, with a state championship and undefeated season.

Despite last year’s regular season success for Hardin Valley Academy baseball, which included a District 4-AAA league championship, “I don’t think it prepared us well for the postseason,” HVA head coach Joe
Michalski said. Whereas last season ended in disappointment during district tournaHawks 7 ment play, the Indians 2 lessons learned from the Hawks’ 2015 mid-season “rough patch” proved valuable.
The end result is the program’s first-ever trip to the Class AAA State Tournament in Murfreesboro (26-15). “The fact that we had to fight through a lot of different things, and tough losses — and we got beat up a couple of times — I think having to deal with that made us tougher and made us
more prepared for the post season,” Michalski said after a 7-2 sectional victory at Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett Friday, May 15. “We felt like we were going to make this run once we hit the district tournament,” Michalski added. “We got a lot of guys back healthier when post-season started. … A bunch of guys

As a senior at Central High School, Whitney Hickam-Cruze played in the Class AAA State Softball Tournament and now she’ll return to the grand stage as Hardin Valley Academy’s head coach. “I played in the state tournament as a senior and I really wanted to see these kids get to experience that, and now we’re going to have fun this week,” Hickam-Cruze said after her Lady Hawks downed Seymour 83 in a Section 1-AAA game at HVA Friday night, May 15. “These upper classmen have worked really hard and I have freshmen stepping up and making plays all over the place. “These are memories that these girls will always remember.”
Hardin Valley’s postseason run has been dramatic in 2015 as the Lady Hawks prevailed in a couple of Region 2-AAA Tournament nailbiters. T hose thrilling walk-off victories came on the heels of HVA advancing through the loser’s bracket Lady Hawks 8 to win the Lady Eagles 3 District 4-AAA Tournament as the fifth seed. “We’ve had a couple of walkoff wins [against Halls and Bearden in the region tournament],” Hickam-Cruze said. But there would be no walkoff on this night as the only question all night would be if or when the game against the Lady Eagles would get underway. The contest finally got started after a rain delay of nearly two hours. The wait, however didn’t appear
to bother the Lady Hawks, who used a six-run second inning to punch their ticket to Murfreesboro. The teams played a scoreless first inning before Hardin Valley (29-12) erupted for the big inning. Junior pitcher Kaleigh Wynne, who has been dominant in the circle recently, delivered the big blow with her bat against Seymour (21-14) when she smashed a three-run double See LADY HAWKS, Page 9A With one state championship under her belt in Arkansas, Hawks junior pitcher Kaleigh Wynne is looking for a Tennessee championship to add to her résumé as she shuts the door on Seymour Friday, May 15, at HVA

down the third-base line that gave the Lady Hawks a 4-0 lead. Hardin Valley scored its first run of the contest when Aubry McGuire singed in Leslie Beecham, who reached on a fielder’s choice and advanced to third when freshman designated player Jodie Parham doubled. An error on the play enabled McGuire to advance to second. Seymour pitcher Sam Trentham then walked Sydney Dukes to load the bases. That set the stage for Wynne, who has been intentionally walked in the majority of her plate appearances in the last three games. With the bases loaded, Trentham had no choice but to pitch to her counterpart, who laced her big hit up the line. “Obviously, I thought it was foul but [the umpire] called it foul,” Lady Eagles’ head coach Jessica Sterling said. “Our third baseman [Bailey Pierce] thought it was very foul. “But he called it fair, so there’s nothing you can do about it now. That’s just part of it.” Hardin Valley went on to add two more runs in the frame on RBI doubles by Chelsey Texeira and Makaela Chavis. The Lady Hawks took an 8-0 when Parham had a single that plated Olivia LaSorsa, who walked earlier in the inning. A
first ever, after rallying with two runs in the sixth and seventh innings Lady Bulldogs 4 for a 4-2 sectional Lady Patriots 2 win at Jefferson County Friday afternoon, May 15. “I looked back through all the records, and I think this is the subsequent Seymour error allowed Beecham to score and Parham to advance to third. “It just doesn’t feel real,” Parham said of Hardin Valley’s victory. “It’s just an incredible feeling.” The win was the most lopsided one for Hardin Valley during the postseason and Texeira said that was a welcome change. “We’ve usually played our games pretty close, so it was nice to go out and show that we could score some runs, This is a big week for me,” said Texeira, HVA’s senior center fielder, who graduated Saturday afternoon. “We win tonight. Then I graduate and then we head out to state on Tuesday. “This is the best graduation present that I could ask for.” Wynne, who is no stranger to state tournaments, was emotional after the game. “I just didn’t feel like I performed the way I wanted to,” said Wynne, who won an Arkansas state championship as a freshman at North Little Rock High School. “My stuff just wasn’t working as good as it usually does. I’m just happy that the other girls had my back and picked me up.” She still had seven strikeouts. Wynne surrendered three runs and seven hits, while hitting a batter and walking another. Seymour scored a run in the sixth and two in the seventh.

Let’s work on base hits. … I do not want to see the ball hit up in the air, let’s hit it through the infield.’ They took their hands a little higher ... and all of a sudden they started hitting hard balls.” Sadie Coons led the comeback with RBI singles in the sixth and
seventh innings. Cassidy Heemsoth and Rachael Goodson also had RBI singles. “Rachael started off with a hard single in the sixth, got us going,” Sams said. Winning pitcher Dana Steinbacher, Bearden senior staff ace, allowed two earned runs, four hits and one walk with nine strikeouts in seven innings.

While Farragut pitcher Dylan Pacifico improved to a perfect 70 this season, the junior helped lead his Admirals to yet another Region 2-AAA Tournament title. Pacifico went the distance, allowing two earned runs and just three hits with two walks, two hit batters and eight strikeouts, as FHS beat Hardin Valley Academy for the fourth time in six tries this season. The Ads’ 4-2 win came Wednesday, May 13, at FHS’s John Heatherly Field. “I just felt good today,” Pacifico said. “My slider, I was hitting my spots and they were swinging at my good pitches. They were attacking and I was attacking too.” Matt Buckner, FHS head coach, said Pacifico had “a huge performance, I’m really proud of him. … He’s a big-time pitcher, got great stuff. He’s going to be a Division I pitcher.”

battle. “We put a lot of work into this.” Lugo’s two-out single to right field on a no-ball, two-strike count brought home Pence sending the defending Class AAA champs to the program’s 14th state tourney in the last 15 years. “I was just thinking drive it backside if I got a pitch near the zone,” Lugo said. “It was an outside fastball. I didn’t know if it was going to sneak through or not, but it went right under [the first baseman’s] glove.” “Lugo there, what a hit. Patty tows it up for eight innings; what can I say, the dude’s special,” Buckner said. Mascia “is a warrior, man, he ain’t going to lose. He refuses to lose.” Trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the sixth, the Admirals got a tworun homer by Mascia, senior catcher/designated hitter, fol-
Hardin Valley pitching — starter Matt Turner and relievers Tyler Thompson and Drew Parks — combined to allow just five hits with four strikeouts. But two of Farragut’s four earned runs came on Admirals 4 walks — a total of Hawks 2 10 by Hawks pitching. About the walks, “You can’t do that, they’re too good. When you’re playing the best team in the state your can’t give them free passes,” HVA head coach Joe Michalski said. Three of those came in the third inning, as Jake Hagenow earned an RBI with a bases loaded free pass tying the game 1-1. The Admirals went ahead for good in the fourth. Chandler Chambers’ infield hit and Carmelo Venero’s hit-and-run single preceded Cole Morgan’s RBI fielder’s choice. Morgan, junior centerfielder, also singled.
Nico Mascia, Farragut senior catcher/designated hitter, continued his hot post-season with the bat by belting a solo homer in the fifth. Hagenow walked and later scored on Jake Blevins’ pinch-hit RBI bloop single to right field in the fifth. It was 4-1. “That was a huge run,” Buckner said, adding about Blevins, “He’s come up with some huge hits for us.” Chambers, FHS right fielder, threw out an HVA baserunner trying to score from second in the fifth inning. A third-inning RBI double from Dylan Harris put HVA up 10. Zach Sears’ solo home run to right centerfield came with two outs in the sixth for HVA. “Pacifico pitched very well. He limited his walks. He was hitting his spots very good,” Sears, a senior first baseman, said. The other Hawks hit was a single from Dom Leo.
lowing Pence’s leadoff bloop single. “Right before I got up I told Duncan, he was on deck, I told him if he got on base ‘I’m hitting you in,’” Mascia, who also doubled, said. “It was a fastball low inside. It’s probably the only one this year I knew was gone off the bat.” Pence led off the bottom of the eighth with an infield single. He advanced to second on Mascia’s groundout before Lugo’s two-out heroics. While Raby allowed only two hits, the Vanderbilt signee did walk eight — three in the top of the eighth. “I was just living in the moment going off adrenaline probably,” Raby said about his work in the eighth inning. “I don’t even know what to say, I’m just so happy we won. We never gave up.” Cole Morgan, Admirals junior centerfielder, did his part offen-
sively by reaching base in all four at-bats: triple, double, single and a walk. Chase Fullington, senior second baseman, connected for a single. He also had a nice defensive play, a diving stop to his right, to take away a hit in the first inning. A solo home run plus an RBI double, which followed a walk, in the fourth inning had Science Hill (28-11) threatening upset up 2-0. Meanwhile, Hilltoppers staff ace Grant Rabbits was in the middle of two jams — first and second, none out in the first inning and second and third none out in the fourth — without allowing a run. A base-running mistake helped in the fourth. Rabbits ended up going all eight innings, allowing three

However, “Some games you get a little unlucky, and we made a few mistakes and they won fair and square,” Ethan Snow, FHS senior star midfielder, said about a 2-1 overtime loss at Oak Ridge in Region 2-AAA semis May 12. It not only ended the high school careers of Snow and his Class of 2015 teammates, but Culbreth’s Admirals coaching era. Saying his 2015 team was especially close, Snow added about Culbreth, “He definitely cares about the program more than anyone else. It was nice to have somebody that cared so much. I think that’s an important thing to have in a coach.” Alex Schupp’s goal in the 52nd minute was the lone marker for FHS (14-4-2).

HVA softball walks off with region title ■

Throughout the 2015 postseason Hardin Valley Academy’s softball team has had a flare for the dramatic. This was again the case Wednesday, May 13. It was then that the Lady Hawks notched a 4-3 comeback win over Lady Hawks 4 r i v a l Bearden Lady Bulldogs 3 to capture the Region 2-AAA championship before a boisterous crowd at HVA. It was the first-ever region title for Hardin Valley, which culminated its comeback when freshman right fielder Mikaela Chavis singled in Kaleigh Wynne with the winning run. For Chavis, it was a case of sweet redemption. She misplayed a fly ball in the top of the seventh that allowed Bearden designated player Kierra Smith to reach third base to open the frame. Smith would later score the tying run when Elena Schusterick grounded out to knot the contest 3-3. In its last at-bat, Hardin Valley (28-12) was able to win the game with heroics from the freshman right fielder. Wynne was intentionally walked to open the bottom of the inning. Wynne moved to second when Haley Cloud reached on an error and came home on Chavis’ gamewinning hit. “This feels really good because I knew that I had to make up for

Hickam-Cruze said. The Lady Hawks may have triumphed on this night but the early chapters of this dramatic saga belonged to the Lady Bulldogs (28-11-1). Bearden took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Shortstop Alaeni Ray, a Tennessee Volunteers signee, led off the See REGION CHAMPS, Page 14A

game with an infield single. She advanced to second on a passed ball, stole third and came home on a wild pitch. Bearden added a run in the top of the fourth to expand its advantage to 2-0. Rachael Goodson singled to lead off the frame and scored when second baseman Sadie Coons reached on defensive miscue by the Lady Hawks. Hardin Valley mounted a threat in the bottom of the inning as Chavis singled and Olivia LaSorsa was hit by a pitch. But Bearden pitcher Dana Steinbacher slammed the door by retiring the next three hitters she faced. In the fifth, the Lady Hawks
came up with a big inning. Hardin Valley scored three runs in the frame to take the lead. With one out, Wynne drew another intentional pass. Steinbacher then walked Cloud to put runners on first and second. Chelsey Texeira knocked in HVA’s first run with an RBI single. Chavis added another scoring single and Haley Cloud came home on a wild pitch. Bearden tied the game when Smith scored in the seventh. The Lady Bulldogs, however, missed a chance to retake the lead when Texeira robbed Maxey House of a hit with Kierstyn Freeman on third thanks to errors by Hardin Valley. “... It was a great play. The wind kept it in here or it would’ve been gone,” Bearden head coach Leonard Sams said.

Tournament in Murfreesboro. But HVA had to withstand some early pressure from the Wildcats, who played the Hawks to a draw in a regular-season meeting. Hardin Valley starting goalkeeper Jeremy Wise made four point-blank saves in the first 40 minutes before giving way to Andrew Foster after halftime. Foster also kept the Wildcats (154-2) at bay and helped HVA record its 12th shutout of the season. “Drew is a great goalkeeper,” Wise said. “Splitting time for us has really been good. He’s bigger and stronger than I am and he always plays well in the second half.”

HVA’s Feldman ready to shed light on climate change ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Following an internship at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the summer of 2014, 18-year-old Sam Feldman not only has chosen his profession — he’s passionate about helping to reverse the effects of mad-made climate change. “That’s when I first found out about climate change research, and that got me interested,” Feldman, a Hardin Valley Academy 2015 graduate and advanced placement honors stu-
dent, said. “All the data we studied pointed toward it being a reality. And the fact that ice sheets are melting [at the earth’s poles]. … I specifically studied ice sheets so I learned a lot about how they are currently melting. “And what kind of effects that can have,” he added. “… I found out about how physics interacts with the climate.” Planning to attend The University of Tennessee and majoring in physics, Feldman will help pay his expenses with a $20,000 UT-Battelle Scholarship he earned after writing a roughly
5,000-word essay “about my plans to study climate change in the future,” he said. It impressed ORNL officials among scores of high school entries. “I was definitely surprised and I was very happy,” Feldman said. However, “UT doesn’t have much of a climate science program, so I’m going to focus on physics,” Feldman added. Working under Dr. Kate Evans, a member of ORNL Climate Change Science Institute, “for 12 weeks or so” Feldman said he originally signed up for the
internship because “I already knew her and it was easier to get started with the internship. … I knew about climate change but I wasn’t strongly interested in it.” However, “When I started learning about it I just thought it was really, really interesting,” Feldman said. “I think the biggest thing is just how big of an impact it can make on the world, and how major climate change is and how important it is that we stop it.” Evans “was a really, really great mentor,” Feldman said. “She was there for anything I needed.”
Also earning a $1,000 National Corporate Merit Scholarship from UT-Battelle, Feldman was HVA president and state secretary of Technology Student Association. “It prepares students for jobs in science, technology, engineering and math,” he said. “It’s really impacted me because I’ve learned a lot about working in STEM because that’s where I plan to end up” careerwise. “And also learning about leadership as a member of TSA.” Perhaps a chip off the old See FELDMAN on Page 4B

Susan Bolinger, Farragut High School guidance counselor, was one of only 55 guidance counselors worldwide invited to Scotland, visiting one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious universities Feb. 22-25. As a result, a handful of her more accomplished students at FHS have discovered an overseas route in seeking a top-quality college education. Tying all together was the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, visiting FHS and prompting a “welcoming” proclamation from Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill. Roughly 60 FHS advanced placement students, mostly juniors, came to hear Alexander Allen, St. Andrews Summer School director and North American advisor, in the school’s media center Wednesday, April 22.

which was founded in 1413, those FHS students would be among a small, select group. “Every year we take on about 1,200” students, Allen said. “… The most popular subject for American students is International Relations. … However, the university made it reputation in the humanities, so literature, philosophy and the classics are popular.” However, “Economics and management have become the center of interest,” Allen added. “One of the reasons I’m looking at it is the prestigious grad school programs, and a really good internships with the big European companies,” said FHS advanced placement junior Mihir Barot, who added he’s going to take a “pre-law path, kind of applied economics, and then go to law school after that, which is part of their graduate program.” Barot said Bolinger “gave me See ST.

Farragut High School golf teams have found fundraising help from Farragut Lions Club, in exchange for donating community service hours. Second Annual Hole-In-One Shootout, held in a field adjacent to farragutpress, 11863 Kingston Pike, expands to two weekends starting from 1 to 7 p.m., Friday, May 29, and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday, May 30. The times remain the same one week later, Friday and Saturday, June 5-6. Event is open to the public. The objective is finishing in the top three each day driving the ball closest to the pin, roughly 150 yards away. The top 12 earn one chance at a new car, a Mercedes-Benz Smart Car, with one drive from No. 11 hole (165 yards), at Willow Creek Golf Club in Farragut needing a hole-in-one. That begins at 7 p.m., Friday, June 12. “That’s a certified golf hole for a hole-in-one contest,” Norvell Burrow, FLC and Hole-In-One Shootout Committee member, said. Cost to qualify as one of the top 12 is two balls for $5, six balls for $10 and 20 balls for $20. “You can’t double win, we want 12 different people,” Burrow added. If one of the 12 connects for a hole-in-one at Willow Creek, the remaining qualifiers would be “out of luck … it’s done” without getting a chance to match the

Quadcopter sales explode ■
ESK chemist
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Sales of quadcopters, tiny radio-controlled four-bladed helicopters often mistakenly called drones, “exploded about the middle of last year and it has no signs of stopping” amid legal and national security connotations based on national news reports. Ryan Wilson, manager of HobbyTown, 111145 Turkey Drive, added that his store “has offered them for over two years now. Christmastime it obviously picks up a lot.” Wilson’s quadcopters range from “Proto X, smaller than the palm of your hand” to “the largest one I sell is the Inspire 1 … . “There are versions that are toys for kids, and then there are the ones that are hobby quality, which is a higher quality … very high tech photography and video uses out of them,” Wilson added. “They start at $29 for more your toy-grade ones. I have them going all the way up to $3,600. Their most popular models are, on the less expensive end, the $99 Ethos 130 “is more an intro into the hobby aircraft,” Wilson said. Most popular among the more sophisticated quadcopters is the DJI Phantom 2, which can run as low as $1,159. “When you get to the $450 range, you get into models that basically have GPS in them” allowing it “to fly to a certain spot” and stay there despite winds of up to “10 or 15 mph … because GPS is locked into that location. It’s not going to move unless you tell in to move.” As for purpose, “A lot of people just like the recreational use of them,” he said. “… I’ve actually had multiple people here recently buy them to take up above

Fifth-grader Sean Grace, a student at The Episcopal School of Knoxville, bested a field of 30 fifth-to-eighth-grade students Monday afternoon, April 13, to become the 2015 Tennessee State You Be The Chemist Challenge Champion. Sean will represent Tennessee at the National You Be The Chemist Challenge in Philadelphia this June. Developed by the Chemical Educational Foundation, the You Be The Chemist Challenge is a question-and-answer competition that motivates fifth-to-eighthgrade students to sharpen their knowledge of chemistry concepts and their real-world applications. Students compete for prizes at the local and state levels, and the ultimate prize is a trip to Philadelphia to vie for college scholarships. The Challenge program relies on partnerships between community members who seek to foster student engagement with science, including industry, schools, universities and community organizations. Sean is pictured with his parents, Jennifer and Christopher Grace.

Four keys to preventing premature death in the garden Death by good intention Have you ever seen a honey bee that’s got so much pollen on her feet and thighs that she can barely fly? I often wonder if some of them never make it back to their hives they’re so overloaded. It’s spring again and Pam all the more rea- Young son to be Make it organized Fun! not just with housecleaning, but in the garden. This time of year the nurseries
are teaming with flowers that beseech us like friendly puppies at the Humane Society to take them home. And we SHEs (Sidetracked Home Executives) are like busy bees around those beautiful flowers. After all, we survived winter and we’re sick of gray and ready for sunny colors. But like those bees, we can get carried away buying more than we can plant. We fly home with our trunks full of flats of flowers and the optimism we’ll plant them all in a day. But so often we poop out in the middle of the plant and the remaining purchase is at the mercy of our next planting mood which can easily result in death of the remaining purchase. Death by good intention 4 Keys all start with a P A good rule of your green thumb is the four Key Ps. Plan, Prepare,
Purchase, Plant. If you try to prepare and plant at the same time, you’ll poop out and then those plants that you’ve taken into your care face possible death. Of course it’s not premeditated, but the plants will be just as dead. Key 1 Plan~ Divide your yard into zones. When you divide up a project into manageable parts you won’t get overwhelmed. Figure out what you’d like to have brighten each zone and write down how many of each plant you want. It’ll be like a grocery list. Don’t plan another zone until you’ve finished planting one you’ve planned. I like to add at least one perennial each year (those are the plants that come back) in each of my zones. Key 2 Prepare~ Prepare the soil and even dig the holes before you head to the nursery. Key 3 Purchase~ Take your list
and limit what you buy to the amount of holes you’ve already dug. Don’t be tempted while you’re in the beauty of all the colors and fragrances. You don’t have to stick to the exact kind of flowers on your list, just the number of plants. Key 4 Plant~ When you actually get to plant, you’ll be so happy with yourself for doing all the hard work first. And you won’t have the guilt that comes with unintentionally killing innocent life. This year I’ve turned one of my pet peeves into an advantage. We have a big meadow and every spring the moles convene like they’re at a mole retreat. Their underground social network rivals Face Book. They seem to converge on our meadow about when the grass starts growing. As I walked
through the grass and inspected the hills I noticed how rich the dirt was and I thought, ‘I should use it when planting flowers in the beds that have a great deal of clay.’ I went to my local nursery and asked what I could add to the dirt to make it good as a potting soil. You won’t want miss the video where I show how to turn mole hills into potting soil. www.cluborganized.com

schools within the U.S. [such as] William & Mary and the University of Virginia. And their connection with the top 100 American corporations, and how students are kind of able to not only get a prestigious education outside of the U.S. but be able to come back and kind of savor the benefits of the degree within the United States.” The connection between U.S. corporations and St. Andrews “was definitely something I was not expecting,” Matthews said, adding his interest in attending St. Andrews “has gone up tremendously” because the school “paves
your way back into the United States working with the top 100 corporations.” As for Bolinger earning her invitation to visit St. Andrews, “I think they looked for high schools that have high-quality students, high academic achievement and large college participation rates,” Bolinger said. “The overall experience of going to St. Andrews was truly impressive. … It was truly humbling to be there because of the history of the university,” she added. “It was a great opportunity to learn more so I could better understand what it takes to com-
pete and gain admission at an international university.” Among the “cutting-edge research” at St. Andrews features “Graphene, which will be out in the
next 10 years. Which means you’ll be able to fold up a computer and put it in your pocket,” Allen said. “There’s strong work in astronomy and astrophysics as well.”

charities, “The Lions Club has pledged to give us $300 toward our Farragut golf account. … For us participating and helping out,” Jonathan Cox, FHS boys and girls teams head coach, said. “I got contacted by the Lions Club about two months ago,” Cox added in early May. “… They contacted me wanting to know if we would be looking for some community service hours and give back to the community a little bit and be present at the Hole-InOne Shootout. “With as many kids as I had participating last year, I was more than willing to help out. Lions Club, they’ve been good to us, they’ve been good to Farragut High School.” Cox estimated “10 to 12” members of his golf team for next school year would volunteer. While serving, Cox said his student/athletes “will be able to meet the different Lions Club members and also the people in the community that support them every season over at Farragut High School.” Cox also has fond memories from his teenage years of Lions Club service. “I received a Lake City Lions Club scholarship when I was in high school. It was worth $1,000,” Cox said about using the scholarship to help support him at Tennessee Tech. The club raised “in excess of a couple thousand dollars” for last year’s inaugural Hole-In-One Shootout, Burrow said.
Talent abounds at FMS Art Show ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut Middle School students and their families turned out to view the students’ art works during the annual FMS Art Show. Presented by Farragut Arts Council, the show and reception, Tuesday, April 14, in Farragut Town Hall, displayed talents of budding artists and musicians, as the school’s string ensemble performed for the crowd. “I think it’s pretty cool seeing the different degrees of art,” FMS student Ellyx Martinez said. “I really like all the different types of art there are.” “It’s a great exhibit,” Sandy Dean, Farragut Arts Council member, said. “There’s a wide variety of art. They have a lot of different concepts and medium, pastels and watercolors to pen and ink, sculptures and masks.” One parent, Mary Lin, said she came because the works of two of
her daughters, Abby and Katie Lin, were being displayed, and her daughter, Emily, was performing the violin with FMS Orchestra’s string ensemble. “All of my daughters have something in the show,” she said. “It’s great for these kids to show off their talents,” Arlene Driver, mother of FMS student Connell Driver, said. “For the kids who come see [the show], it encourages them to get involved in art.” Debra Patterson, who conducts FMS Orchestra, said the ensemble is made up of sixth- through eighth-graders who auditioned to participate. “We have six to 12 performances a year,” Patterson said. “There are 15 in this group. They are loving the opportunity to perform.” “We appreciate [Farragut Arts Council’s] doing this show so much,” Angie McCarter, one of Farragut Middle School’s art teachers, said. “It’s a great opporSee FMS on Page 6B

However, “Private [sales] heavily outweighs the commercial,” Wilson said. “They are very easy to use,” Wilson added.

Gwen Johnson, another FMS art teacher, said the art show was great. “It gives students recognition that they did a great job,” she said. “Everyone should be recognized for what they do, and some students didn’t think they could do this [artwork]. I told them they could.”
“It’s really fun and cool to see our pictures here,” FMS sixthgrader Haley Henderson said. “It’s the first time for a lot of these artists to see their work displayed,” her grandmother, Faye Hale said. “We have some very talented kids in the school.” “I think it’s excellent,” Jamie Witthauer said about the show. “It was very well-presented. They did a great job.”

You cannot charge somebody for the filming you have done for them.” However, “There is actually no rule [preventing] flying over other people’s property,” Wilson
added. “That’s just common courtesy [not to], I believe. “They’re actually not called drones, they’re actually called quadcopters or multirotors … a four-bladed helicopter,” Wilson added. “The media has kind of blown the term ‘drone’ out of proportion. Drones are actually a military radio-controlled vehicle. A military drone looks similar to a plane. Quadcopters are what you’re seeing on the news being referred to as drones.”
