Saying he got rid of his bed and started sleeping on the floor despite the discomfort, Soni added, “The moment you become comfortable you stop living.” Kenneth Ye, Class of 2014 valedictorian and National Merit Finalist with a 4.821 grade point average, discussed the “G” word, which he ultimately said were the “G words: from graduation to going to giving.” “We have been one of the most kind-hearted and communitycentered classes to ever come through Farragut,” Ye added while asking his fellow graduates to continue “giving to others” and “giving your all.” Michael Reynolds, FHS princi-

Don’t get too comfortable with daily life, you may miss out on discovering fascinating things about yourself and the world — that was Akshay Soni’s advice to his fellow Farragut High School seniors during FHS Commencement for Class of 2014 Saturday evening, May 17. Reflecting back to last summer, “Even though it seems paradoxical, I was completely content and incredibly unhappy. My life seemed meaningless …,” Soni said during the ceremony in Thompson-Boling Arena. Soni said he “took action” and discovered his unhappiness came “from my own suppressed fear.” “Every day from that point on I started taking a cold shower, a freezing cold shower. … It truly

Daniel Paul Barry is recognized as Hardin Valley Academy Class of 2014 valedictorian by HVA assistant principal George Ashe, during HVA Commencement Saturday afternoon, May 17, in Thompson-Boling Arena.

Two deeply personal stories of overcoming adversity and a new level for all-time best grade point average, these were among the highlights of Hardin Valley Academy Commencement for Class of 2014 Saturday afternoon, May 17, in ThompsonBoling Arena Principal Sallee Reynolds recognized valedictorian Daniel Paul Barry (STEM Academy), adding that his grade point average of 4.5667 “is the highest GPA obtained by any graduate of Hardin Valley Academy ever.” The HVA principal also recognized salutatorian Carolyn Emily Barnes (4.5 GPA, STEM Academy). Assistant principal George
Ashe announced $19,605,516 was earned in scholarships by “85 percent” of the 425 Class of 2014 graduates. Speaker Amani C. Moreland said about her fellow graduates, “We’ve all had to push harder, add a little more weight onto our shoulders and do more than we thought was possible. That’s the only way to improve ourselves.” Getting personal, Moreland said “extra weight” in her life was added during her years as a Cedar Bluff Middle School student: “my parents divorced … we moved twice in two years. … My mom dropped a bomb, she had cancer.” Moreover, because of friends who were a bad influence on her study habits and personality as a sixth-grader, “Every inch of me wanted to give up on school,”
Moreland said. However, being “full of grit” helped rescue Moreland, she said. Vital in support of her were “my family, my brother and my school,” Moreland, fighting back tears, added. Graduate Sullivan “Sully” Smoak earned the annual Hawk Award, presented by Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., Knox County Schools superintendent, and announced by Reynolds. Smoak, one of eight finalists for the award, best exemplified “high standards of dependability, responsibility, citizenship, cheerfulness, moral character and academic performance,” Reynolds announced. Collective teacher feedback about Smoak labeled him as “one See HARDIN VALLEY on Page 2A

Excited, hyped and anxious about the future are sentiments Bearden High School graduates shared as they lined up to walk before their family members and friends and graduate. More than 400 Bearden seniors graduated Friday, May 16, in Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville. “I’m just ready to sleep in,” Hunter Walters said. Tyler Wallace said he felt “pretty amazing” that he was graduating. “I wasn’t going to be graduat-
ing but now that I am, I’m pretty hyped,” he said. Tyler Lutz said he was excited about graduating while Dakota Cox said he was looking forward to life after high school. Angela Dayets said she was also excited but anxious about the future, and Christian Ironside said he was ready to move on. “I’ve had these kids [in class],” Rhonda Sternfels, BHS wellness teacher, said. “It’s hard to let them go, but you have to let them go.” “Objects in the rearview mirror are larger than they appear,” Kiytoko Cecilia Reidy, class vale-

dictorian, said in her speech. Reidy quoted the late Judy Garland, who said, “It’s better to be the first-rate version of yourself than a second-rate version of someone else.” Dr. John Bartlett, Bearden High principal, said students must be true to themselves as well. Bartlett dispelled some myths, saying life will not be handed to them. “Education doesn’t guarantee your success,” he said. “No one is going to hand you anything. “Life is not like soccer,” Bartlett said. “You don’t get trophies for showing up. Success is
earned; playtime is earned. Now, it’s real life. It’s time to go to work for real.” He urged them to fight and work hard to realize their dreams. “Life is hard,” Bartlett added. “It requires someone to pull up their sleeves and work. Additionally, he advised them to invest in and think of others. Bartlett recognized the graduates who received scholarships, adding $23.7 million in scholarships were awarded this year. Of the graduates, 113 were in the National Honor Society, and Michelle Pamela Lames was salutatorian.

Having just finished U.S. Marine Corps basic training and unable to attend the ceremony, Jessica Megan Dyer’s graduation was recognized in a special ceremony. Retired USMC Master Sgt.
Jimmy Johnson, FHS Navy Junior ROTC Naval Science instructor, accepted on behalf of the former NJROTC cadet. In a letter to Reynolds read by assistant principal Seth Smith, Dyer is quoted as saying, “‘It would be phenomenal if you could announce the exciting news that I have become a United States Marine. … These 13 weeks have been the hardest challenge I have ever faced. …’” Barbara Wachter, FHS resource teacher, earned “Teacher of the Year” honors “for significant contributions to our students and our school, nominated by peers” as announced by Debbie Sayers, assistant principal. “… Goes above and beyond in her care for students.
Sometimes giving clothing, supplies and money out of her own pocket for those in need.” In his speech, Ethan Garrison Young warned his fellow graduates not to look ahead with too much intensity to where you miss out on the joys of present life. Young quoted Irish author C.S. Lewis about ambition: “… Perpetually in pursuit of the rainbow’s end, and never honest, nor kind, nor happy now. But always using every real gift, which is offered us in the present, as mere fuel to heap upon the alter of the future. …” The ceremony included “the Toiling of the Bell” to remember all FHS alumni who are deceased.
• May 13: Knox County Sheriff’s Office was advised an unknown person sprayed graffiti on the retaining wall at the back of Parkside Medical Plaza off Parkside Drive in Farragut. The suspect used black spray paint to make designs on the wall. Complainant attempted to clean it off but was unsuccessful. Estimated damage is pending. • May 12: Police were dispatched to an Augusta National Way address in response to a complainant lodged by the homeowner stating the home had been burglarized. The victim stated she had been out of town for the past week and her husband and son were living in the house while she was away. • May 11: A Trails End Road woman reported to police an unknown suspect got into her vehicle and took multiple items. Complainant stated the vehicle was parked in the driveway of her mother’s Union Road residence when the incident occurred. The vehicle was not locked. Complainant added the only thing
taken she did not find while checking her neighborhood was a pair of shorts but everything else taken was found randomly scattered throughout the neighborhood. Estimated loss is $20. • May 8: Police arrested two 51-yearold women after employees at Kohl’s department store off Kingston Pike in Farragut reported seeing the pair conceal items and leave the store without paying for them. Between them, the pair had more than $300 in merchandise and jewelry. • May 7: Police arrested a 28-yearold woman after employees at Kohl’s department store off Kingston Pike in Farragut apprehended the woman after seeing her concealing merchandise in her purse. Staff escorted the suspect to the Loss Prevention office when it was found the she had two sterling silver earrings valued at $100 in her possession.

Perspective is what I needed to re-ignite the light of my life,” Kroninger said. “With a great deal of help from others, particularly our theater department at Hardin Valley, I was able to see … life is a struggle on a daily basis. But there’s always someone behind you every step of the way.” The result was “fierce determination in which I was able to earn a 4.0 grade point average,” Kroninger added. “More importantly, I realized there are things in life that are really worth living for.”

While speaking with moviegoers who just saw the film “Cesar Chavez” in Regal Cinemas Pinnacle 18 Stadium Saturday afternoon, April 5, Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero displays proChavez and pro-United Farm Workers Union pins she acquired in the 1970s while traveling the nation as a college student supporting a UFWU boycott.
Chavez From page 2A
famed migrant worker union activist Cesar Chavez, as the 110-minute movie “Cesar Chavez” documented his fight — including his 35-day hunger strike — to create The United Farm Workers Union. While the movie ended in formation of UFWU in 1970 despite years of police, political and corporate bigotry, brutality and general disregard for the lives of
mostly poor Mexican and Filipino workers, other eras came to light. Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero was in the middle of another era in the fight as a young college student. She shared a thumbnail account of her support of a UFWU boycott from 1974 into 1977 following the movie. Julz Chavez, Cesar’s great niece, joined her. “I actually started working with farm workers in 1974” during the boycott of wines includ-
ing Gallo, Rogero said about her start in the movement while a student at The Ohio State University in Columbus. Her roughly three-year effort in support of the farm workers led Rogero nationwide including Chicago and California. However, “The struggle still continues actually today,” Rogero added. That was a point made clear by one woman in the audience saying she “worked in southwest Virginia for a little bit, working with the migrant workers,” adding about discrimination, “They still have that going on.” The woman said area “doctors and nurses … did not want to provide health care” for the migrant workers. “It was really sad driving them home to their homes.” She then pointed out “one particular family that lived in a twocar garage with three other families. And their walls were sheets.” “I’m talking about today.” Lourdes Garza of Farragut, director of Hispanic Ministry for The Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville, said she bought movie tickets and sponsored 30 members “of a grass-roots organizing group, Comité Popular, and it’s made up of people from Mexico and Guatemala, and they’re organizing for immigration reform. … I collaborate with them.”
“They’re mostly from urban areas of Knoxville,” Garza added. Also pointing out little known correspondence between Cesar and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — showing copies of actually telegrams between the human rights leaders — Julz made three stops at Knox County high schools Friday, April 4. Two were at Farragut High School and Hardin Valley Academy. Allison Maldonado, FHS Spanish 2 and Spanish 3 teacher, said all of the school’s Spanish class students were invited to Vickie B. Wells Auditorium Friday afternoon to hear Julz. Roughly 150 students and teachers attended. Maldonado said most of her students were “not very” familiar with Cesar Chavez until just before Julz’s visit. “We don’t seem to get a lot of Latin American history in our schools,” she said. “I probably had two or three people in each class that had heard his name before.” Benjamin Wood, an HVA senior, attended the movie with friend, Victoria Hans, an HVA sophomore. “Three or four days ago I didn’t even know about Cesar Chavez,” Wood said. “Just by watching him in this movie and learning about him in Spanish class [just before Julz’s visit] I learned that he was a very brave and great man.”

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
While two Farragut players each scored their first goals of the season in a big spotlight game, head coach Wallie Culbreth began planning strategy, in the second half, for his team’s latest trip to the TSSAA Class AAA Boys Soccer State Tournament in Murfreesboro. Second half goals by Gabe Parish and Johnny Totten padded a Admirals 4 2-0 Admirals Trojans 1 lead in what became an easy 4-1 victory against Morristown West in Sectional play Saturday, May 17, in Farragut Stadium. “I won the ball and I saw Fletcher, so I played him and he played me back,” Totten, sophomore center fullback, said about his goal. Parish, a sophomore midfielder who transferred from a school in Asheville, N.C., said about his goal, “I knew I had [the goalkeeper] one-on-one, and I took a touch pass and I saw that he was going to get to it first so I just slid in there and reached for it. It was quite surprising when it went in.”
The Admirals (21-2-0) faced N. Overton (14-5-4) in the state tourney quarterfinals Tuesday afternoon, May 20 (after deadline). If Farragut won they played the winner of Riverdale versus Collierville Wednesday afternoon, May 21. If FHS reaches the title game, it will play either Franklin, Science Hill, Cookeville or White Station starting at 4 p.m. CDT, 5 p.m. EDT, Friday, May 23, in Richard Siegel Soccer Complex. Though Farragut was held scoreless until the 38th minute, center midfielder Ethan Snow said his Admirals “just started connecting passes around and put it all together in the end.” Tyler Klarner’s goal from about seven yards out with 2:35 left in the first half broke the ice, following up Konner McCarley’s shot that was deflected by the goalkeeper. The play started with a crossing pass from the right side by Alex Schupp. “I think we played very well. We were able to keep the ball and possess around them and tire them down,” Klarner, a senior center-fullback and team co-captain, said. “Losing last year was a big hit to us, so we’ll real pumped to

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
With Farragut staff ace Patrick Raby on the mound, Sevier County head coach Casey Taylor said one thing was vital for his Smoky Bears in order to pull off a Class AAA Sectional baseball upset. “With all due respect to our hitters, we kind of had a feeling that if they got more than two runs they’re probably going to win that ballgame,” said Taylor, whose team didn’t exactly follow the low-run formula: six baserunners who eventually scored in an FHS seven-run bottom of the third inning reached on four walks and two booted ground balls. With Raby facing the minimum 15 batters — no runs, no hits and
a hit batter the only baserunner — these 2014 Admirals (30-12) earned the program’s 14th trip to the state tourney in 16 years with an 11-0 victory in five innings Monday, May 16, at FHS’s John Heatherly Field.

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
OAK RIDGE — Though Hardin Valley Academy isn’t part of this week’s Class AAA Boys Soccer State Tournament, four Hawks enjoyed one final shining moment in a dramatic spotlight. Especially senior goalkeeper Andrew Meek, who frustrated Oak Ridge overtime shootout kickers by stopping all three of their shots, allowing HVA to advance into the Region 2-AAA title game with a 3-0 edge in “pk’s” after 110 minutes of a 1-1 tie. “You can’t explain it,” Meek, still trying to catch his breath, said moments after pulling off the final of his three shootout saves at Oak Ridge High School in Region 2-AAA semifinal play Tuesday, May 13. “You’ve just got to look in their face, trying to get in their head, and just trust your instincts. It’s mostly instincts and you try and read their body language as much as possible,” Meek added. As for Wildcat shooters giving away which direction they were going, “They did a little bit,” Meek said. “I’ve never done that before. I can mark that off my bucket

list.” “For Meek to save three in a
row, that was freaking awesome,” said HVA senior defender David
Klett, who scored Hardin Valley’s only regulation time goal before beginning the overtime shootout by beating Wildcat goalkeeper Joel Turner into the upper right part of the goal net. As for getting HVA off to a good start in the shootout, “I had all the confidence in the world in myself to make mine right off the bat,” Klett said. “And for every one of my other guys to make it.” Hawks teammates Shawn Foster and Cameron Schneider also converted shootout goals. As for Hawks 3 shootout “ p k ” Wildcats 0 experience, “We lost in it last year, so we practice it a bit more this year,” HVA head coach Mike McLean said about Maryville ending HVA’s 2013 season in a region semifinal shootout. “We kind of knew who our five [shooters] were going into it.” About the Hawks’ only regulation goal, scored in the 18th minute, Klett said, “Cameron [Schneider] had a throw-in and Logan [Kington] flicked it on. Jeff [Lohman] actually hit the crossbar and I was just in the right spot.” Klett added that the Wildcats “were really gritty and they wanted it more than us most of the game. … We were lucky to get it into overtime in the first place.” Oak Ridge, playing only one
senior, finishes its 2014 season 13-6-3. Hardin Valley’s 4-1 defeat at Farragut in the region championship game Thursday, May 15, was followed up with a 3-2 loss at Johnson City Science Hill in Sectional play Saturday, May 17. The Hawks end 2014 with a 145-2 record. However, McLean said after the win at ORHS that his Hawks “showed character all year getting results.” Jon Day, Wildcats head coach, labeled the contest “a sensational match for both squads. It was a battle.” However, “I sensed that our energy was low and we were hanging on” late in the overtime periods, Day added. “… I asked maybe a little bit more out of my boys than they were capable tonight.” Day said Meek “absolutely stopped the balls that came his way, and for that we applaud a keeper like that.” McLean said Oak Ridge “played well to their gameplan: defend, defend, defend and look for the long balls. And they snuck one by us. We were struggling to go forward tonight.” One long ball by the Wildcats, which beat the HVA defense, resulted in a goal by Blade Kimbro, who beat a charging Meek from about 18 yards out in the 68th minute.
Soccer Admirals blank Gibbs in Region 2-AAA semifinal ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
Farragut High School boys soccer head coach Wallie Culbreth got a pleasant and unexpected surprise after his Admirals knocked off Gibbs in the Region 2-AAA quarterfinals Tuesday, May 13. After the Ads defeated the Eagles 4-0 at Farragut Stadium, Culbreth, Admirals 4 FarraEagles 0 gut’s vete r a n coach, was reunited with former player Kirk Ruoff. Ruoff was in town to watch his brother, Jared, a junior at Gibbs. “It was great to get this win but the thing that was really special was that I got a chance to see one of my former players, Kirk Ruoff,” Culbreth said. “His brother plays for [Gibbs] and he came in from Murfreesboro. “It was great to see him.” Farragut (21-2-0) got off to a slow start but the Admirals took
control when Marvin Mendy scored the game’s first goal in the sixth minute. That marker began the next phase in Farragut’s march to get back to the Class AAA State Tournament in Murfreesboro. “You just have to take things one goal at a time and one game at a time,” Mendy said. “We want to get back to the state tournament and we want to get back to the state finals. “But you have to get one goal before you can get two.” Culbreth noted that Farragut’s start was due to playing some tough matches in the District 4AAA Tournament. “We were ready to play but we weren’t quite as ready as we should’ve been because we had played three tough games,” he said. Farragut took a 2-0 lead on a goal by Konner McCarley in the 35th minute. Sophomore Dami Omitaomu, who picked up assists on the Admirals’ first two tallies, was
pleased with the team’s performance but acknowledged that Farragut still has plenty of work to do if it is to reach its ultimate goal. “We want to get back to the state finals and we just have to
keep the momentum,” Omitaomu said. “Every team comes out strong against us and we just have to keep stepping up.” FHS really turned up the heat in after halftime and that gave Culbreth the opportunity to give
reserves some key postseason playing time. “This was a chance for me to give some younger guys some time in the playoffs,” Culbreth See REGION on Page 7A

Turner resigns with 5 state titles, 1 national ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A coach whose talents helped create one of the best high school soccer rivalries in Tennessee, if not the best, has resigned as a five-time state champion. Eric Turner, whose biggest claim to fame in 17 seasons as Bearden High School boys soccer head coach was leading his 2002 SoccerDawg boys to a perfect season and national championship, resigned officially Tuesday, May 13. With a final boys record of 27678-33 in 17 seasons that included a 56-game winning streak (2001-

EST, Friday, May 23, in Middle Tennessee’s Reese Smith Jr. Field. As for opposing pitchers, Raby “is one of the best ones around, there’s no disputing that,” Taylor, whose Smoky Bears finish 2014 with a 28-14 overall record and a District 2-AAA championship, said. “We knew we were going to have our hands full. … We were going to have a very difficult time scoring against them.” Recalling “a young team” that was “trying to find our way” in March and early April, FHS head coach Matt Buckner said, “It took us a while, but that’s OK because doesn’t matter how you play then; all that matters is how you play now. “I’m proud of our guys.” Pitching on three days rest after firing 111 pitches in a 7-0 Region 2-AAA semifinal win against Karns Monday, May 12, Raby struck out six in five innings. “He’s a competitor, man. You’d had to beat the ball out of his hand today” for Raby not to pitch,
2 0 0 3 ) , Turner led his SoccerDawgs to TSSAA Class AAA state titles in 2001, 2002 and 2006 plus 10 Turner other “final four” state appearances. In 16 seasons as BHS Lady SoccerDawgs head coach [25573-35], Turner won back-to-back state crowns in 2006 and 2007. “It was a tough decision from the standpoint that I’m going to miss all my players and parents,” Buckner said. “He’s awesome. He did a great job. That’s the reason he’s going to Vanderbilt. … You give him a lead and you’re going to have a hard time with him.” “My curveball was working, one of the best it’s worked all year,” Raby said. “I was very pleased with it today. And my fastball and my command was good.” Offensive star for Farragut was catcher Nico Mascia. The junior made Sevier County pay for its third inning walks and errors with a bases-clearing three-RBI double down the left field line. Mascia added a fourth-inning RBI double to deep centerfield. Jumping on first-pitch fastballs during both at-bats, “That’s a pitch I can hit,” Mascia said, adding that with the bases loaded during his third-inning at-bat, “I knew he couldn’t afford to walk me, so I knew he was going to throw something in the zone. And I knew he was going to throw a fastball.” Buckner said of Mascia, “He’s been an RBI machine all year. I think he’s got like 65 RBIs. … Those guys before him do a great job getting on base.” John Painter, sophomore desig-
Turner, 43, said. “But I was just tired. It was just my time, and it was just kind of wearing on me.” Also chair of National Soccer Coaches Association of America “for six or seven years” and a club youth soccer coach in the mid-tolate-1990s, Turner said his support from BHS administration, boosters, parents and players “was just overwhelming” while they provided “a family atmosphere.” “We were the envy of the state as far as how our program ran because we had great cinergy between the boys boosters and the girls boosters, which allowed us to build that great soccer com-
plex that we have [Allender Field],” Turner added. Morgan Shinlever, BHS athletics director and football head coach, said Turner “has done an outstanding job of raising the bar for soccer programs and expectations and standards of programs, not only in the Knoxville area but all over the state of Tennessee. “He’s won over 500 games [531151-68] and multiple championships, and he’s done it by teaching kids discipline and accountability,” Shinlever added. A fireworks rivalry with equally powerful Farragut was at its peak between 2001 and 2009 when two schools combined to win seven
state titles in nine years. With Turner and Farragut head coach Wallie Culbreth (four state titles, one national title) each labeling the other “a close friend,” Culbreth said Turner “is a great coach, one of the best coaches I ever met. He’s able to get more out of less talent than most people. He’s a tactician and an excellent ‘politician.’” Mike McLean, Hardin Valley Academy soccer head coach (one state title), said Turner “has done so much for the soccer community in Knoxville and for Bearden High School and he’s just so well respected amongst the high school coaches.”

said. Farragut made frequent substitutions throughout the game but continued to dictate the tempo throughout the second half of the match. Senior Fletcher Eckern extended Farragut’s advantage to 3-0 when he chipped a goal past Gibbs sophomore goalkeeper Robbie Kincaid in the 52nd minute. That goal came a short time after the Admirals had a goal nullified by an offsides call. Eckern, a senior who had a big postseason last year, is eager to make a return trip to Murfreesboro. “Once we got rolling, we did really well and once we got going, they really couldn’t stop us,” Eckern said. “It was a really big win but things are going to get tougher as we move forward.” The Ads played some stingy defense as they surrendered just two shots. The Eagles, who closed the season at 9-5-3, didn’t manage a shot after halftime. Mendy closed the scoring with a tally in the in the 57th minute.

the second half. “We’ve played in four big games where we’ve come back and scored three goals in the second half,” Culbreth said. “That’s the good thing about this team, with the senior leadership, is that we don’t panic. “At halftime, my captains are the ones that are telling them, ‘Hey, we never lose the second half,’” he added about Klarner, star senior midfielders Fletcher Ekern and Ryan Coughenour and senior scoring machine forward Marvin Mendy. Farragut out-shot Morristown
West 17-8. The Trojans finished 2014 at 13-6-3. Mendy, Ekern, Coughenour and Klarner were selected to annual East/West All-Star Soccer Game in Hendersonville later this spring. As Class AAA state runner-up coach last season, Culbreth earned the right to become East team head coach. Culbreth said he used the second half against Morristown West to strategically prepare “for one of the big powers in the state” in Murfreesboro this week without saying which team he was referencing. The FHS skipper said his Admirals “played a new formation” after getting ahead of the Trojans. “… We’ve got to learn
this formation.” In his 13th season as Farragut head coach, Culbreth is making his ninth state tournament trip (four state titles, one runner-up). “I think this team has as good a chance to win a state championship as any team I’ve taken over there,” Culbreth said. Morristown West head coach Todd Bradley said about FHS, “They play as a unit and they’re very quick on transition. They did a very good job of that today, transitioning and going to goal.” Farragut earned its right to host the Trojans after beating rival Hardin Valley Academy 4-1 in the region title game Thursday, May 15, at Farragut Stadium.

If you keep pushing students with intellectual disabilities, most can make tremendous strides in learning and growth as citizens. Two Hardin Valley Academy seniors have learned that lesson well, making them all the more eager to serve as co-chairs for the this year’s Special Olympics of Greater Knoxville Track and Field Events at HVA. Special Olympians of all ages — elementary/middle, high school and adult — competed in three separate events Wednesday and Thursday, April 16-17. Joe Underwood co-chaired with Michael Chambers, both being peer tutors and SGA officers, to run this year’s event. Chambers said Tim Lee, HVA special education teacher and SOGR co-director, asked him to join his comprehensive developmental class activities program last school year as a junior. “Within a week I was like, ‘This is what I need to do.’ I completely fell in love with it like that,” Chambers said. “God had a plan to put me in that class. I’m going to Tennessee Tech and I’m majoring in special ed[ucation] there.” Annually held at Hardin Valley, this SOGR event is run by roughly 80 members of the school’s Student Government Association and peer tutoring students, the latter of which work all school year with HVA’s special education students (18 this school year) on and off campus. Chambers said he’s learned there’s misperceptions about the potential of intellectually disabled people — especially
students. “A lot of people think with these guys there’s walls, that they’ll hit their full potential and they can’t get any better, but that’s just not the case,” he said. “You look at some of the guys from where they’ve been, even in my time being involved in the program, to where they are now, it’s unbelievable. “People think, ‘Well, they’ve got an intellectual disability so we probably shouldn’t try to teach them this or that.’ But it’s so not the case,” Chambers added. “If you keep pushing they’re going to keep doing better. If you keep raising the bar they’re going to keep shooting for that.” Since becoming a peer tutor his sophomore year, Underwood said, “It’s crazy where I’ve come from. It’s just shown me what the little things in life can do and how much you can learn from students with intellectual disabilities. They have so much to offer, and people don’t know that.” Lee said intellectually disabled students “have to rise up” in order to learn and grow, adding, “We’re not trying to lower standards and expectations just so they can be successful.” Saying he’s been “blessed” with athletic ability as an AllDistrict 4-AAA linebacker and fullback with the Hawks’ football team, Underwood said, “I think it’s great to see athletes come out here that wouldn’t be able to compete in sports otherwise and have fun. They compete against athletes on their same level.” Lee estimated that Chambers and Underwood put in “60-plus See HVA on Page 4B
FHS Special Olympian Hirtz dashes to gold

Mark Hirtz may not be a whiz at verbal communication, but this Farragut High School Special Olympian let his legs do the talking at Hardin Valley Academy Thursday morning, April 17. With FHS CDCA special education teacher Michael Morrow sprinting alongside for encouragement — and to make sure his fast sophomore stayed in his lane — Mark shot out to a quick lead in the 100-yard dash, winning a gold medal during Special Olympics Knox-Area High School competition at HVA.
“He’s a fast kid as long as he stays focused and keeps his eyes on the finish line,” said Mororw, who was on hand assisting Mark and six other FHS Special Olympic athletes who competed in several events among scores from Knox and surrounding counties. “He was pretty excited. He had to wait a long time, and that’s tough for Mark. So we’re really proud of him for waiting and winning the race,” Morrow added. Other Farragut Senior Olympians were Ethan Long, Sarah Kohl, Melody Wade, Chad Frey, Garrett Bohnenberger and Michael J. Rucinski.
“I think it’s a wonderful opportunity for them to come out, participate with a lot of peers, both peers with disabilities and peers that are typically developing. They get recognized by the community.” At FHS, Morrow and Brooke Fogarty handle similar CDCA responsibilities for what he estimated are “13 to 14” students. However, unlike Morrow, “She has students that don’t have autism. She has kids that have multiple disabilities, or kind of more mild things,” he added. “I deal with more of the severe behavior type issues. Communication type issues as well.”

Attendees had an opportunity to shop for fashions before and after the luncheon and show, which featured styles by The Paris Apartment Boutique in Bearden. The show featured brightly colored fabrics for spring, among them fashions from Paris, Debbie Oden, owner of the boutique, said. Lubert said money raised from the event goes toward the club’s operating costs, speakers and toward charity. This year, the charity is Horizon, which provides independent living to adults with

Hundreds ‘Skate for Andy’ ■

Hundreds of skaters crowded the Icearium rink to support Andy Whitcomb’s battle with stomach cancer. Laps around the rink was the featured activity Saturday afternoon, April 26, as Skate for Andy fundraising dollars went to support mounting medical expenses for the 15-year-old Knoxville Amateur Hockey Association player and freshman at Webb School of Knoxville. Upon hearing the news of Andy’s diagnosis of cancer in mid-February, “We were all floored. It hit us all hard,” John Johannes, KAHA High School director, said. Andy’s parents, Pete and Patti Whitcomb, and younger sister, Kate, 12 — also a KAHA hockey player — were on hand to share some good news. Being treated at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, “Andy got a weekend pass. He got to come home for the first time since Feb. 13,” Patti said about Andy coming home Friday, April 25. “It’s a wonderful sign. It’s a great step in the right direction. “Will still have a very long journey ahead of us, but this was a great step forward in our journey,” she added. Saying Andy “has loved playing hockey for the last seven years,” Patti added that Saturday’s turnout “has been completely amazing and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. We’re completely overwhelmed by the

Scott’s No. 5 Admirals jersey was officially retired and a “No. 5” logo in his honor was unveiled on the field’s left centerfield wall.
Full Speed Ahead Kay! Thank you to Farragut Intermediate School principal Kay Wellons for your 31 years of service. You are a committed and dedicated educator for our children. Your impact is and will be felt for years to come. We wish you all the best in your retirement.

Thank You Kay, for your hard work, outstanding leadership and dedication to Farragut Intermediate School. Now it is time for the next chapter of your life. Relax and enjoy your retirement with family and friends. ~ Best Wishes, Martha Hill
It’s not the end but the beginning of the next chapter in your life. I’m glad you’re old enough to retire but young enough to enjoy it. May your retirement days be full of joy and happiness doing things you love to do. –Linda Frederick
I enjoyed getting to know you as Assistant Principal when I was PTA President 2005-06. After losing Dr. Frazier I couldn't think of anyone else who could step into that role. I was honored to work with you and his family on the Memorial Garden the next year. You are a great inspiration to our past, present and future education leaders. May your retirement be filled with long relaxing days and lots of wonderful memories. ~ Charlotte Jensen
Best Wishes for smooth sailing in your retirement! Keep on laughing!

FARRAGUTPRESS THURSDAY, MAY 22, 2014 • 5B
Organize clutter? No way! Well, I guess there’s always a way. You could go to one of those organizer stores and get shelves, storage containers, a label gun, jars, little drawers and a hundred other cutesy products that ring your desire-to-be-organized chimes, but guess what! If you really took on a project to organize your clutter, you’d end up with a home that resembles your local Goodwill store. Get the Picture Just imagine your home peaceful and free of clutter as I take you on a m a k e believe tour of your h o m e , room-byroom. Y o u r Children’s Bedrooms T h e y Pam hold your children’s Young currently Make it loved toys, Fun! games and books and their closets and drawers hold just the garments that fit them and are in season now. Beds are made because you’ve provided your children with easy bedspreads. The floors are vacuumed and dusted because your children have chore charts on their bulletin boards and they know what’s required of them. It’s also easy for them to dust and vacuum because the floors are clear of dirty clothes, clean clothes, toys, books, games and garbage. That’s because you’ve provided them with clothes hampers, simple ways to hang up garments, dresser drawers that are easy for children to open, containers for toys, shelves for books and games and a waste paper basket. Your Bedroom It invites you to rest and promises intimacy and comfy sleep. It’s free of distraction. No television. A chair for relaxation and contemplation is free of the clothes you wore yesterday and the day before. It beckons you to sit and enjoy a hot cup of tea. One (1) current magazine shares space with a single pink rosebud in a vase and a scented candle on the small table beside the chair. The floor is vacuumed and the room smells fresh and clean. Your Closet I hope I didn’t blow your peaceful visualization by bringing up your closet, as I’ve seen women shrivel at the thought of having me, or anyone see their closets. Ah, but your closet is beautiful! It holds slacks, blouses, shirts, jeans, shoes, scarves, skirts and dresses. You love EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING fits. It smells fresh, like sheets straight off a clothesline. (I’m sure many of my readers have never smelled that smell.) There’s order in your closet and it’s easy and fun to decide what to wear. Your Kitchen The kitchen is the heart of your home and its counters are clean and clear. It invites everyone into it to enjoy its tantalizing aromas of good cooking and because it’s maintained, the family is eager to help with clean-up after meals. There’s no IPOD (Important Pile of Decisions) on the kitchen table or counter. The cupboard shelves are clean and hold wholesome foods. The refrigerator is clean and the contents are tempting. All processed foods (which there are few) have current dates for consumption. Your Living Room The living room has room for family and friends to, uhhh . . . live. The sofa is free of clean laundry to fold and put away and dirty laundry because no one changes clothes in there. There are no IPODs on the coffee table, end tables or floor space. The room is vacuumed and the furniture is dusted and polished, because there are clear surfaces
in which to perform those tasks. Your Family Room The family room is filled with the joyous vibes of fun and entertainment, not the clutter of bad habits. There’s an organized shelf of games complete with all their parts. Puzzles, books, videos, CDs and art supplies are organized and stored for easy access. No IPODs or dried up food from last night’s Family Pizza and Movie time. The Garage The car is in the garage because there’s room for it. The garden tools, bicycles, sports equipment, outdoor toys are organized and easy to get to. This imaginary tour of your home may be far-fetched right now, but if you’re serious about creating peace in your home, you can start by committing to a weekly trip to Goodwill with as
much clutter as you can collect and leave there. The second recommendation is to stop buying what ends up being clutter. The next time you’re tempted to purchase something for your children, or grandchildren, imagine it on the floor of their rooms or the family room. Stop clutter at the cash register. De-cluttering is like going on a diet Establishing peace in your home by getting rid of clutter is no different than going on a diet to lose weight. If you really want peace, you have to reduce more clutter than you take in. When I got organized in 1977, I was 35 and my kids were four, nine and twelve. I made it a habit to fill my trunk every week and donate it to Goodwill. They got to know me there! In my years teaching mom’s to
Andy From page 4B
de-clutter, the one thing I kept hearing was, “what if I give this away and then I need it?” I discovered the answer and it has helped thousands, if not millions of moms. If you miss something you got rid of, it’s at Goodwill. Consider Goodwill as your storage unit. You can buy the item back if you absolutely need it and help the good work Goodwill does. You can also go to Goodwill just to visit your stuff. Peace. For more from Pam Young go to www.makeitfunanditwillgetdone.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized, ways to lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.
Also available was a desk where participants could share well-wishing messages that were sent to Andy. Gus Wrightmyer, 14, was a teammate of Andy’s on their 201213 Pee-Wee Bantam Penguins KAHA team. “He’s a really good friend,” Wrightmyer said. As a forward, “Andy had a lot of speed, and he would just go down and shoot at the net and most likely score,” Wrightmyer said. As a person, “He is a really nice guy. He would always have a smile on the bench. And like nothing would get him down,” Wrightmyer added. Upon first hearing of Andy’s diagnosis, “I was in shock,” Wrightmyer said. Sean Read, a classmate of Andy’s at Webb, said Andy “is compassionate and he’s caring and he’s strong. He keeps on going.”

Attendees, from left in front, Bethany Norton, Marilyn Derbyshire and Ashley Pettit, enjoy fellowship during Saint John Neumann Catholic Church Women’s Club annual luncheon and fashion show fundraiser Saturday, April 26, in SJN Catholic School cafeteria.
show is a social event where the women can see friends they do not normally see on Sundays. “It’s a fun way to find out what’s going on and an opportunity to serve,” she said. Rolawn Rehmann, communications chairman for the Women’s Club Board, said the turnout was what organizers anticipated. Rehmann and her husband, Chris Rehmann, are members of Saint John Neumann Church. “We estimated we had 120 tickets,” Rehmann said. “We had about 150 tickets sold. “The Paris Apartment Boutique has brought amazing and unique items – one of a kind,” Rehmann said. “For [the boutique] to come to Farragut, it is a great opportuni-
ty to see some of the different and unique items.” Attendee Jocelyn Brodd of Knoxville said she came as a guest of a parishoner, Barbara O’Brien, adding she also is a friend of Lubert. “I think this event is great,” Brodd said. “We are all in Bible study together at All Saints Church. It’s fun to support our
friends.” Brodd added she enjoyed The Paris Apartment Boutique fashions. Another attendee and guest of O’Brien’s said she also enjoyed being with friends and looking at the boutique’s fashions. “It’s very nice of Barbara that she invited us,” Zain said.

Culbreth honors sister while helping daughter
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragupress.com
While honoring the precious memory of his deceased sibling each April in Brooke Culbreth Memorial Alumni Soccer Games, Bradley Culbreth played in this year’s 8th annul game with the added goal of invigorating life. His daughter, 7-month-old Collyns Faith Culbreth, was born prematurely and weighed just 3 pounds when Bradley’s wife, Megan Culbreth, gave birth Sept. 19, 2013. “She’s been in the hospital five out of those seven months,” Bradley said. “She’s had multiple surgeries. “This is very difficult for me and Megan,” he added. “… It’s been a rollercoaster ride.” Looking ahead, “There are a lot of unknowns,” Culbreth said. “Time is our best friend and worst enemy.” Auction proceeds from the lunch held in FHS Commons following the Alumni versus current FHS players games Saturday, April 26, at Farragut Intermediate School field went to fund Collyns’ mounting medical expenses. “The people that are putting in the work to make some kind of recognition for her is a great thing for us,” Culbreth added. For more information about donations, contact Pbergin@charter.net/ Meanwhile, Culbreth, a 2002 FHS graduate, played alongside a handful of former Admirals teammates who, in addition to showing up in respect for Brooke because of their fond memories of her as a
team manager (Class of 2006), said they were extra motivated to show up and support Bradley, Megan and Collyns. In all roughly 35 alumni showed up to participate despite an “email glitch” slowing down contact attempts according to Wallie Culbreth, Bradley’s father and FHS varsity boys soccer head coach. “The turnout for Brooke, the turnout for Collyns shows how close this program really is,” Bradley, 30, said. “There’s something special here, that’s why they come back.” Cory Stinton [Class of 2004] said, “I know Bradley real well. When he had Collyns we were all concerned. Just trying to help him out any way that we can.” Now an FHS assistant coach, Austin Rhodes (Class of 2005) said he’s known Bradley “for a long, long time.” Upon graduating, “Bradley actually gave me his No. 6 jersey, so every since then we’ve been really close. Brooke and I were very, very close. They are family to us. … We’ll do whatever we can to help them.” Kevin Underwood (Class of 2007) remembers Bradley as an FHS assistant coach. “I know Bradley really well. … We know this is a hard time for the family. The best thing to do is to get together with old friends and family,” he said. “We hope today is a special day for them and helps to take their mind off the serious things temporarily and let them know we love them and support them.” The couple’s oldest child, Casen Brooks, will turn 3 in June.

Goin’ Postal goes to Village Green shopping center ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Goin’ Postal, a shipping and postal store, has moved. Previously in Ingles shopping center, last month it moved to Village Green shopping center, 11519 Kingston Pike. in Farragut. “It was really about the location,” Frankie Carmley, manager, said. “My dad, Bill Groce, bought this business Nov. 1. He also owns a pharmaceutical company for cattle. We needed the space for both businesses. “[Groce] ships a lot of medicine to his customers, and he was the biggest shipper using [Goin’ Postal], so when it came up for sale, he decided to buy it,” Carmley added. The Village Green site provides for both businesses, with more traffic and more convenience for customers, he said. “I think it’s wonderful he moved up here because it’s an ideal location,” Farragut customer Bev
Landguth said. “I love it. I am so glad,” Jean Darwin, another Farragut customer of Goin’ Postal, said. Another factor for the move was the lease. Carmley said Goin’ Postal was on a month-to-month lease at the Ingles site. The manager said he loved the new location as well. “We’re getting all the Farragut people in,” he said. “Our biggest customer base is the older generation. They just want things quick and easy, so they can get out of here.” Carmley said Goin’ Postal offers shipping with FedEd, UPS and DHL, an international shipping company; a drop-off service for packages, a mailbox rental service and packing. Goin’ Postal also shreds documents for customers, sells greeting cards, provides color and black-and-white prints, a fax service and a fingerprinting service; and Carmley is a notary public.

Instructors into Knoxville Academy of Music and Farragut Academy of Music reflects the incomparable and amazingly diverse programs not offered anywhere else in the Knoxville area,” Misha Byrne, Allied director of operations, said. “The specialized Childbloom Guitar Program, as well as the distinguished young guitarist’s ensemble, Knoxville Bella Corda, are two remarkable programs taught exclusively in the Knoxville area at the new Knoxville Academy of Music and Farragut Academy of Music.” Allied “is excited” to welcome the public to see six more music studios offered between the two academies of music, Byrne added.
Allied’s instruction in the Farragut community is not new. “We started music instruction in Farragut in 2003, and we’ve been somewhere in the community ever since,” Comas said, adding he thinks locating a school in Farragut will help make Allied more visible to and convenient for the community. Allied offers classes to students as young as age 4. “We hired office managers to help manage lesson schedules, and we hired many new instructors,” Comas said. “We’ve updated our facility, added modern electronic drum sets and made other cosmetic improvements. Also, we will have added a small amount of retail.”
