FARRAGUT, TENNESSEE

Schoonmaker weighs in on school expansion

Ultimate sacrifice ■

ALAN SLOAN Alan Sloan

asloan@farragutpress.com

Expressing concern with Knox County Schools/Board of Education “bond debt of $255, 509,840 from 2015 through 2035” according to county budget figures he released, Knox County Commissioner John Schoonmaker said he questions the wisdom of going deeper into debt to fund three new KCS schools — including a Hardin Valley middle school. “With the mayor’s budget, I was very impressed,” Schoonmaker, Fifth District representative (including town of Farragut), said about Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s proposed budget of $747,189,546. It includes neither funding for new schools nor any tax increases ($435 million for KCS). “Another interesting figure that’s been thrown around: in the last five years [Knox County] Schools have received $56 million. I guess the obvious question is, ‘Where’s all that money gone?’ Because $56 million sure hasn’t gone to the classroom teachers,” Schoonmaker said. “… They have had revenue increases all along.” That includes “an increase of approximately $10.1 million over the current [fiscal] year,” a Mayor’s Office press release stated. In requesting funds for a new Hardin Valley middle and two other schools, Schoonmaker said, “They didn’t include in their plans to, once those schools are built, down the road to put the $3 million each into the operation of those schools. “There’s a lot of questions out there.” In reacting to published and broadcasted comments from KCS superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., Schoonmaker said he was “a little disturbed” after McIntyre “said some comment like, ‘If we don’t get our full amount we’re not going to be able to give our teachers a raise.’ I don’t think that was right. If you’ve got $435 million [KCS budget] I think you could find some money for teachers.” Preparing for Commission’s Joint Work Session with Board of Education, Thursday, May 21, Schoonmaker shared two specific questions he said he wants answered. “The questions would be, ‘If there is a new Hardin Valley middle school built, what does that do to the structure of all the Farragut schools?’” he said. At Farragut Middle School, “Are you going to go from let’s just say a 600-student populaSee SCHOOLS on Page 4A

Lt. Alexander Bonnyman Marine Corps League Detachment 924 Honor Guard gives a rifle salute to fallen troops in combat during Bonnyman Young Marines Memorial Day Ceremony. This remembrance, annually held at Sgt. Mitchell W. Stout Medal of Honor Memorial, Virtue Cemetery, was Monday morning, May 25.

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

One of 59 members of Lt. Alexander Bonnyman unit of the Young Marines, Sgt. Maj. Tyler Ward, 16, said he’s learned a lot about sacrifice. There’s sacrifices he’s made as a Young Marine, much bigger ones ahead when he becomes a U.S. Marine — and the ultimate sacrifice of soldiers fallen defending this country. “Before I joined the Young

Marines I never really understood, and I still don’t really understand, the full sacrifice like these veterans do,” said Ward, who in his seventh year as a Young Marine helped coordinate annual Bonnyman Young Marines Memorial Day Ceremony in Sgt. Mitchell W. Stout Medal of Honor Memorial, Virtue Cemetery, from 11 a.m. to noon, Monday, May 25. “But you get a better understanding of See SACRIFICE on Page 4A

A rather happy bunch of Hardin Valley Academy Hawks baseball players surround equally happy head coach Joe Michalski, who holds the Class AAA state championship trophy his Hawks earned moments before. Hardin Valley defeated rival Farragut 10-2 in nine innings Friday evening, May 22, at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro. (See stories and more photos beginning on page 5A).

Max Cruse, a junior, became “sweethearts” with an older woman, senior Carroll Hutchens, during the 1952-53 school year at Farragut High. “That’s exactly right. I still claim it,” Carroll Hutchens Grubbs said moments after an affectionate embrace with Cruse among roughly 60 alumni, mostly from the 1940s, 50s and early 60s See REUNION on Page 2A

Peterson Road rezoning postponed ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

While Farragut Municipal Planning Commission was postponing action on a request to rezone 19.66 acres just north of Kingston Pike at Peterson Road, neighboring residents demanded Commissioners take action at its June 18 meeting. The applicant, Continental Properties Company Inc., asked in March that the property be rezoned from R-2 to R-6, which would allow for apartment dwellings, but it asked for a postponement of action at the May 21 Commission meeting due to

an annual International Council of Shopping Centers Convention. “The reason we had to meet in June was Horne Properties Inc. and Continental Properties Company Inc. were both at the ICSC Convention the week of May 18 and did not get back until Friday,” Doug Horne, owner/ president of Horne Properties, Inc. and owner of Republic Newspapers, Inc., parent company of farragutpress, said. “We’ll be there [at the FMPC meeting] June 18, and we’ll discuss thoroughly, again, the proposal for the ‘elite apartment community,’ and at that meeting, we may ask for a vote,”

Horne said. Continental Properties has an option to buy the property from Horne Properties, Inc. and is proposing to build The Springs at Farragut, a Class A, upscale apartment complex with 236 units. Mark Shipley, Farragut Community Development director, said during the Commission’s meeting Thursday, May 21, the request was discussed as a workshop item March 19, when Continental Properties made a formal presentation and a number of residents spoke. “Last month, the applicant requested that their rezoning

graduating classes, during annual FHS Grand Reunion. This annual spring pilgrimage was held in Virtue Cumberland Presbyterian Church’s Family Life Center Saturday morning, May 2. Grubbs recalled her first date with Cruse “probably was after a basketball game,” adding, “That’s about all there was to do back then. I mean, Farragut in 1953? And I [lived] all the way up at Cedar Bluff.” Going their separate ways after graduating from FHS, “He went to college and I went to [Knoxville] Business College,” Grubbs, a secretary with Knoxville City Schools for 43 years, said. “He found another woman and I found another man. We’ve still got them.” Cruse is a retired chemical engineer from Texas who has moved back to the area, living in Tellico Village. Grubbs and Cruse were a couple among a foursome of friends, joining the late Ross Boring (Class of 1954) and Libbie McBee Haynes (Class of 1953) who stayed in touch periodically. That closeness was especially important to Grubbs a little more than 10 years ago. “I had cancer in 2004, and here I am” she said about beating cancer. “The three of them being there was a big help. … Ross was a stand-up comedian type of guy, and he would make anybody feel

better.” “When Carroll came from Cedar Bluff to Farragut we immediately became friends,” Haynes said. “That was in the seventh or eighth grade. My mother [Evelyn McBee] loved her. “My dad [Floyd McBee] was principal of the elementary school,” Haynes added. “… He came in ’38 and was there until ’73.” Among more than three hours of reuniting with classmates while recalling special times from their FHS days, original reunion organizers George Hamilton (Class of 1943) and his younger brother, Horace Hamilton (Class of 1945) were honored by fellow alumni. A bag of gifts and a certificate came with special congratulations from Mayor Ralph McGill, Mona Smith (Class of 1962) and Ginger Benson Fox (Class of 1953) during a roughly10-minute ceremony. George Hamilton entertained the gathering with some humor then played his harmonica. The Hamilton brothers were the major force behind starting this reunion in the mid-1990s, focusing on graduates whose schooling came at the former FHS site near the intersection of Concord Road and Kingston Pike (through the Class of 1976). Although McGill isn’t an FHS graduate, he said during an address to the gathering, “You guys have something special going on here.”

671-TALK

• It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and my two girls and I were playing in McFee park. After playing in the fountain, we wandered into the grass area right besides the parking lot. My girls were running around, when two dogs ran down the hill from the parking lot and started to chase my daughters. They were not on leashes. My daughters have not been around pets a lot so they ran toward me for protection. I shouted to the dogs: “Stop!” My daughters were scared and started to cry. Meanwhile, the owners of the dogs came down. Instead of apologizing, they blamed me for not treating the dogs friendly enough. I told them that their dogs were scaring my kids. What kind of reply I got: “What can you do? Call the cops?” I was not going to do that, but since they

were so rude, I did. It was around 5:30 p.m. I called 911. After asking me about my name and location, they asked the following very unexpected question: “What’s the ethnicity of the owner?” We waited for the police to show up until 6 p.m., the police did not come and we had to leave. I cannot believe what I experienced. There were lots of kids around and some people driving by the parking lot commented to the dog owners that they should not yell at the kids, and they replied that they were yelling at me, not at the kids. We’ve loved McFee park and thought that it was a great addition to the area. What shall I tell my kids about what they have seen and experienced? Do I tell them that we cannot come to the park any more? Do I tell them that dogs are unfriendly crea-

tures and should be avoided? Please consider reinforcing the rule of having dogs on leashes in parks, especially where children are playing. … We don’t want to see similar things happen to other kids. However nice and friendly dogs are to their owners, they are not to be left running freely in the park. Not every family has pets and not every child feels comfortable with them, especially some rather large dogs. • I must say that I am underwhelmed by the town of Farragut’s new slogan. It sounds as if it was it was the motto for an electric car with backup gasoline engine: “Live close; go further.” Is it too late to have nominations and a community vote on the community slogan? That’s what I would recommend.

Bonnyman MCL Detachment Honor Guard gave its rifle firing salute followed by Gasche playing Taps. All flags — U.S., state of Tennessee and Prisoner of War/Missing in Action — were hoisted back to full staff. Young praised Ward, “Our most experienced and senior Young Marine in the unit now. “He’s done everything; he’s been on the staff of our leadership schools, he’s gone on summer training programs, he’s gone to work with other units that maybe have some problems with some of their Young Marines,” Young added after the ceremony. “He’s done just an incredible job during that time.”

what it’s like for your brother around you to die for your life. “They bring that attitude to the Young Marine program. We instill it from day one when you join,” added Ward, who has been named “Unit Young Marine of the Year, Battalion YM of the Year, Regiment YM of the Year and Division YM of the Year.” Jim Williams, former U.S. Marine and Vietnam veteran now Commandant of Bonnyman MCL 924, spoke to the gathering and told of two soldiers making the ultimate sacrifice who “watched out for me.” Recalling his earliest Vietnam service days, which eventually became “one-and-a-half tours of duty,” as a 17-year-old lance corporal radio operator, Williams said he “got sent to an artillery battery as a forward observer. We went out with the infantry. “… There’s two names on the [Vietnam Veterans Memorial] wall in [Washington] D.C. with guys that watched out for me,” Williams added. “… This day is important. It isn’t Veterans Day. This is Memorial Day: we celebrate the men who didn’t come back, who died for you and me so we may have what freedoms we have left.” Ceremony began with Virgil Young, YM Unit Commander and

If they can’t make it, tough. We’ve been ready. They had plenty of time to get ready. “When someone asks for a postponement on an action, we have always given consideration to and accepted,” Shipley said, adding the applicant submitted the request so it controls the process. “That may be something we need to contact Tom Hale, the Town’s attorney, about to get some guidance on how to procedurally make sure we are handling this correctly,” Commissioner Noah Myers said. Shipley agreed, adding, “This is a little bit unchartered territory to us. “Certainly an applicant has a right to request a postponement, but when it becomes recurrent, then that does create a problem for public notice and public participation,” he said.

of UHaul off Kingston Pike in Farragut contacted the KCSO to report a stolen vehicle.

Schoonmaker said Commission will vote on its budget expenditures Monday, June 15, to prepare for the July 1 fiscal year start when the new budget kicks into gear. “We get one shot to make it right for the next year, so we want to make sure it’s right,” Schoonmaker said.

KEN LAY Correspondent

MURFREESBORO — Friday morning Hardin Valley Academy baseball head coach Joe Michalski received a text message from his brother that turned out to be prophetic. “My brother Mike sent me a text this morning and he said that we would win in extra innings,” Michalski said after the Hawks notched a 10-2 nineinning victory over Farragut in the Class AAA state championship game at Middle Tennessee State University’s Reese L. Smith Jr. Field. “He said we would win in extra

innings and we did.” It was the third comeback win of the tournament for Hardin Valley (31-16), which rallied to beat Bartlett and Soddy-Daisy to reach the title game against a familiar foe. Mike Michalski might’ve had a hunch that his brother’s squad would have to work a little overtime but he certainly couldn’t have predicted that the Hawks would win the game with an eight-run outburst in the ninth inning. The Hawks sent 13 hitters to the plate in the frame that also saw the Admirals use four relief pitchers after starter Patrick Raby threw eight strong innings.

The inning opened with Zach Sears drawing a leadoff walk. Tyler Thompson singled before junior left fielder Matt Martin doubled to plate Sears with the go-ahead run. ThompHawks 10 son advanced Admirals 2 to third on the play before Seth Hunt drew an intentional pass to load the bases. Dom Leo then reached on an error which allowed Thompson and Martin to score. Dylan Harris then had a two-run triple and Ian Pung’s double drove in Harris to make the score 9-2. The Hawks added another run on a sacrifice fly by

Thompson. Martin said that the ninth inning epitomized HVA’s 2015 season. “One thing we’ve always said is that we have to get it to the next guy,” he said. “If that ninth inning wasn’t that, I don’t know what was. “I can’t describe this right now. I’m speechless. No one deserves this more than our seniors. They built this program. For eight innings, Raby and Hardin Valley ace Will Neely were locked in a classic pitchers’ duel. Raby, however, didn’t pitch the ninth and that’s when things fell apart for the Ads. “I went as far as I could with

Patty,” Farragut coach Matt Buckner said of his ace, who pitched a pair of complete games in Murfreesboro before hurling an inning of scoreless relief against Houston in the semifinals. “The bottom line is he took us as far as he could take us. “They got some good swings on Patty. They were ready to play. To their credit, they had a big inning and we couldn’t stop the bleeding.” Raby, who was obviously exhausted, said he wanted the ball in the ninth. “Coach Buckner was more worried about my career than a state See HAWKS CHAMPS, Page 9A

MURFREESBORO — Throughout the 2015 season Farragut High School’s baseball team has Admirals 4 responded Mustangs 3 when its had to. This was again the case on Thursday, May 21. “These kids know how to win,” Admirals’ head coach Matt Buckner said after his team swept a pair of elimination games against Houston in the Class AAA State Tournament at Siegel High School. “They’ve been through the battles.”

Farragut opened an unseasonably cold day in the Midstate with a 7-2 victory over the Mustangs, who bounced the Ads from the winner’s bracket Wednesday, May 20, in a game that was far from dramatic. The second game against Houston was a different story as Farragut had to score three sixth-inning runs with a berth in the State Championship hanging in the balance. Houston, which defeated Farragut 5-1 in the first meeting between the two teams at Siegel, surrendered an unearned run in the bottom of the first. Ads’ center fielder Cole Morgan reached on an error. Morgan advanced to

third when Chase Fullington reached on another defensive miscue by Houston. Morgan scored the game’s first run when Duncan Pence reached on a fielder’s choice. Pence’s RBI gave Admirals 7 Farragut the lead Mustangs 2 but he was ejected after he was caught stealing. The score remained 1-0 until the top of the of the fifth when the Mustangs pulled even when Jared Schmidt’s sacrifice fly plated Logan Brown with the tying run. The Mustangs then took a 3See FHS-HOUSTON, Page 8A

Crockett state throw champ Lady Ad Carey No. 2 in shot put

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

While Farragut junior Destiny Carey was queen of East Tennessee shot put as KIL and Section 1-AAA champ, Tamia Crockett is state queen in two throwing events. Crockett, a Hardin Valley Academy Class of 2015 graduate, ended her Lady Hawks throwing career by recapturing what she accomplished as a sophomore: Class AAA state crowns in both shot put and discus. “I’m really happy, 20 more points for the team,” said Crockett, a University of Missouri signee who set a personal record in discus “by nine feet” with a long throw of 143-11. That was accomplished despite wind and temperatures in the low 50s during girls state meet at Middle Tennessee State University Thursday, May 21. “To go out with any PR is great,” Crockett added. “It was actually wonderful to have a PR to finish off the season, especially the state meet,” said Aslynn Halverson, HVA throwing coach plus track-andfield strength and conditioning coordinator. “There’s so much more potential there. I’m super excited about how nationals is going to go for her.” Crockett’s winning shot put throw (42-04.25) bested Carey, who was runner-up (41-01.00). That success came as Crockett changed her shot put technique as a senior, “Switching from the glide to the rotational shot technique,” she said. “Sophomore year I won state using the glide. I changed because I know I’m going to be doing rotational when I get to Mizzou, so I wanted to get a jump-start, a nice feel of it.” While AAA shot put took place during periods of drizzle on top of the cold and wind, “You just have to make sure you stay warm, your muscles are warm,” Crockett said. “I didn’t have to change much other than running a little bit more than I usually do. “I’m pretty proud of how I did mentally, that I stayed in the right mindset to compete well,” Crockett added. As for adjusting her discus throws for weather, Crockett said, “We had a variety of crosswinds, so I had to change how I released. But other than that it didn’t affect me.” Crockett also helped the Lady See GIRLS TRACK-FIELD, Page 11A

MURFREESBORO — Winning Class AAA state titles in both the long jump and triple jump while setting personal records by roughly one foot in both events, Hardin Valley Academy’s Weldon Wright has a simple formula for success. “Hard work, taking a rest and just praying,” Wright, a senior, said after reaching 23-07.00 in long jump and 47-05.50 in high jump at Middle Tennessee State University Friday afternoon, May 22. “God’s everything in my household. … I wanted to do it with grace, dignity and with respect,”

Wright added. “I’m so blessed, I came out here and had peace.” Physically, “I felt really, really fresh,” Wright, also KIL and Sectional 1-AAA champ in both events, said. “We had to rest a lot, on coach [Bryan] Brown’s orders. He was like, ‘rest Weldon, ice bath’ and I did a lot of those things. My mom made me go to bed early.” Qualifying for his first state meet, Wright said there’s a reason he’s performing so much better as a senior. “I work really, really hard because I’m a workhorse, and I like pushing myself to the limit.

Science Hill ruined Mike McLean’s going-away gift as Hardin Valley Academy soccer head coach last Wednesd a y, Hawks 5 May 20. Bruins 0 “ I thought it was a fairly even game. I think the penalty kick call changed the game a bit,” McLean, who coached his final game at HVA last week after seven seasons and one state title (2011), said about the 2-0 Class AAA state semifinal loss in Murfressboro. It was HVA’s first setback of 2015 (19-1-2). “We had to push forward a bit and they’re such a good possession team that they were able to get in behind us later in the game. And once the rain broke out and we’re 2-nill b e Hilltoppers 2 hind Hawks 0 i t was so hard to move the ball and go forward on them. … We didn’t really develop too much possession like we wanted to. “I feel that playing the same team that you’d already beat [in the regular season], mentally is tough,” McLean added. “Us playing Farragut twice was tough. “If we’d played a different team we might have been a big more relaxed.” Although McLean said his Hawks failed to accomplish “their No. 1 goal” of a state championship, he added, “Getting two championships, a district championship in a really hard district and a regional championship over a very good Oak Ridge team” resulted in “a great year.” Crushing Brentwood 5-0 in the quarterfinals Tuesday, May 19, “We were able to come out and play well right from the start,” McLean said. Individually versus Brentwood, “I felt Cameron Schneider had a good game, he was giving them trouble going forward,” McLean said about his senior midfielder. Defensively, the HVA coach praised his “back line with Logan Kington and Kai Zhao, they were able to get the [shutout].”

MURFREESBORO — Webb School of Knoxville boys soccer continued a fruitful season of Spartans sports success, edging Battle Ground Academy 2-1 to win the Division II-A state title at Richard Siegel Soccer Complex Thursday, May 21. T h e Spartans 2 Spartans, coached Wildcats 1 by Jordan Wormsley, defeated Sacred Heart in semifinal round play 1-0 Wednesday, May 20. Meanwhile, Jon Day was saying a rematch of his Christian Academy of Knoxville Warriors versus Christ Presbyterian Academy in the Class A-AA boys soccer state final “was probably what was on the cards for this day.” Though stronger thanks to more intense off-season weightlifting after losing the 2014 Class A-AA state title game to CPA 1-0, Day’s Warriors still suffered the same fate in 2015. A Lions goal off a rebounded shot from about 15 yards in the 69th minute gave CPA a 1-0 victory Friday afternoon, May 21, at Richard Siegel Soccer Complex. “Compared to last year’s match we held our ground a lot more,” said Day, whose Warriors dominated district, region and sectional play while ending the season 19-5-1. “I’m very proud of the boys, they committed to fitness

had a heck of a season and I’m extremely proud of the effort, the buy-in and the passion these guys have,” Day said. Day’s head coaching opponent, his former boss, is a famous name within CAK athletic circles: Tom Gerlach, who led the Warriors to six Class A-AA state titles before resigning in 2010, finished his first season at CPA.

“CAK brought it, they were very physical but not in a dirty way,” Gerlach said. Day said his Warriors “had tremendous momentum in the 20 minutes before” the Lions’ goal. “That was our moment to seize it, but we let that slip away and the fouls mounted up,” he added. “The See SOCCER on Page 11A

MURFREESBORO — Making their first trip as programs to the state softball tournament, Hardin Valley Academy and Bearden each went 0-2. “I do Lady Stars 3 think that Lady Hawks 2 we were probably a little nervous that first game,” Whitney Hickam-Cruze said about her HVA Lady Hawks, a 3-2 loser to Siegel Tuesday, May 19. Scored with eight errors, “A lot of those errors were tough errors … I don’t necessarily think we had eight errors in that game to be honest with you,” HickamCruze said. “We did have some plays there that cost us. Defensively we struggled a little bit. “We most certainly played good defense before the state tournament,” the coach added. Finishing fifth in District 4-AAA regular season, “We started out

rough,” Hickam-Cruze said after being eliminated by Collierville 21 May 20. “I told the girls, ‘It’s not how you start it’s how you finish.’ They stuck with that and worked hard throughout the year. … They started coming together at the end of the season. “I truly believe the turning point is when we double-dipped Maryville,” Cruze added about staying alive by sweeping, and eliminating, the district powerhouse Lady Red Rebels at MHS during 4-AAA tourney play. “I think those girls felt like they could do anything after that. “Our district is so tough. There’s five teams in our district that could have been playing in the state tournament.” Winning both the district and region tournaments and sectional game, Hardin Valley finishes 2913. “I’m extremely proud of these girls and all they’ve accomplished,” Hickam-Cruze said. Bearden High School’s first trip to the Class AAA Softball

Tournament might’ve been a short one, but head coach Leonard Sams couldn’t have been prouder of his team. “I really felt like we out-hit both of the teams we played,” Sams said after his squad dropped a pair of g a m e s Lady Mustangs 3 May 20 on Lady Bulldogs 2 the state’s biggest stage. “We just couldn’t get timely hits. “We hit the ball hard but we hit it right at people.” The Lady Bulldogs dropped their tournament opener 5-0 to

Ooltewah and were later eliminated by Houston in a tough 3-2 loss. In the season finale, Bearden (25-13-1) fell behind early as senior pitcher Dana Steinbacher struggled with her control. She hit two of the first three batters she faced and issued a walk. Steinbacher overcame her shaky start. She surrendered only one run in the first inning of her final high school game. Steinbacher escaped with minimal damage as she struck out the side after her inauspicious start. She would go on to strike out See SOFTBALL on page 8A

1 lead on a two-run double by Ayrton Shafer that put the defending champs on the ropes. The Ads, who improved to 41-7 with their second win of the day, missed a scoring chance in the bottom of the frame. With one out, John Painter and Jake Hagenow reached on consecutive singles but Mustangs’ pitcher Nico Warmus escaped when Carmelo Venero rapped into an inning-ending double play. Farragut reliever Danny Abel opened the top of the sixth by surrendering a double to Houston first baseman Cooper Bullough. One out later, Logan Farmer legged out a bunt single. Buckner then called on Dylan Pacifico, who got out of the jam by retiring the next two hitters and setting the stage for a dramatic comeback by the Admirals. Morgan, the Ads’ junior center fielder, led off the sixth with a single and advanced to third on a double by Fullington. Mustangs’ coach Lane McCarter then opted to intentionally walk Nico Mascia to load the bases and face Tyler Lugo. And Lugo delivered a two-run game-tying double that scored Morgan and Fullington. One out later, Painter walked to reload the bags before a free pass to Hagenow, scored Nate Clark (who was running for Mascia) with the winning run. McCarter said that the walks proved costly for his team. “When you play a team like Farragut, every mistake you make, they capitalize,” he said. For Farragut the big inning

the side in the second and third innings respectively. “I can’t say enough about Dana Steinbacher,” Sams said. “We rode her all year. She’s been our leader. It was cold and rainy and she had some early control issues but she battled back.” Steinbacher gave up just three hits to the Lady Mustangs and finished the game with 12 strikeouts. Bearden tied the contest on an RBI double by catcher Kelly Bozich in the top of the third inning.

culminated another comeback when the stakes were high. “That was the biggest walk in my career in the biggest game of my life,” Hagenow said. “We’re a team and we battle.” Lugo said that he wasn’t surprised with the Ads’ late inning heroics. “We’ve been down a few times this year and we just never quit,” he said. “It was big for Jake to get that walk.” After Farragut’s big sixth inning, Buckner gave the ball to ace Patrick Raby, who struck out the side after giving up a leadoff double to Jack Kenley. Shafer reached on an error with one out before Raby slammed the door. McCarter noted that he knew his squad would see Raby in the bottom of the seventh. “If they tied the game or took the lead, they would bring in Raby,” he said. “Raby has been Lady Bulldogs in scoring position. “We had runners on base but we left them in scoring position,” Sams said. “We had the bases loaded with one out a few times [in the tournament].” In its tournament opener against the Lady Owls, BHS had its share of offensive struggles. In that game, the Lady Bulldogs got just four hits and stranded nine runners on base. The Lady Bulldogs got a double by senior shortstop Alaeni Ray and singles from Sadie Coons, Kierra Smith and Heemsoth. Ooltewah freshman pitcher Kayla Bozeman walked three hitters but Bearden couldn’t score. “If you look at our roster, we have several seniors but we also have a lot of freshmen and sophomores and we want to get back here,” Sams said. “This was our first trip to state and I told the younger kids that they’re setting the standard for Bearden High School.

MURFREESBORO — For the second consecutive year Knoxville Catholic made an appearance in the Class AA state championship game and for the second straight time the Irish fell short. Catholic came up on the losing end of a 2-1 decision against Christ Presbyterian Academy Friday afternoon, May 22, at Middle Tennessee State University’s Reese L. Smith Jr. Field. The loss came nearly one year after the Irish lost the 2014 championship tilt to rival Christian Academy of Knoxville 6-5. The game against CPA was a pitcher’s duel and Lions’ hurler Devin McKnight stifled the Irish offense. McKnight, with help from his defense, allowed just a pair of second-inning singles. “He [McKnight] did a good job,” KCHS head coach Adam Sullivan said. “We hit the ball hard today but we hit it right at people and they made some great plays. “Sometimes you have days like this. That’s just baseball.” The Irish (30-16) squandered a chance to take the lead in the bottom of the second. With one out, Cullen Smith and Hunter Judd scratched out back-to-back singles. Both runners advanced when Sammy Nelson successfully executed a sacrifice bunt before McKnight induced an inning-ending groundout from Mike Fitzgerald. CPA head coach Larry Nesbitt said that McKnight is no stranger

to escaping jams. “... It had nothing to do with technique. It had nothing to do with pitches or anything. ... He was a competitor,” Nesbitt said about McKnight. Irish ace Ethan Elliott started the game by throwing a pair of scoreless innings before giving way to Judd, who entered and hit CPA catcher Phillip Clarke. Taylor Phillips parked a solo home run over the left-field wall to give the Lions (31-10) a 1-0 lead. Catholic responded in the bottom of the frame with its lone run. The Irish scored without the benefit of a hit. Aucker drew a leadoff walk. He advanced Lions 2 to second on a passIrish 1 ed ball and took third on a wild pitch before scoring the tying run on a sacrifice fly by senior Dom Souder. Judd opened the third by plunking Sam Knell, who later came home on a single. With a 2-1 lead, McKnight was in command the rest of the way. He surrendered a walk to Sean Purcell in the fourth and hit Souder in the bottom of the sixth before retiring the last six hitters. “We’re truly a team,” Cottam said. “We came together and we bought in. We came so close. This is the best group of kids that I’ve ever played with.” “Kole Cottam is a stud,” Sullivan said. “Kentucky is getting a freaking stud and Tennessee should be ashamed [for not getting him].”

Championship, which shows what kind of man he is,” Raby said. “I was not 100 percent. I was tired out there, running on fumes. I felt fine but I knew that I probably wasn’t the same. “My curve ball wasn’t there today. I relied more on my change-up. I was throwing it the best I’ve ever thrown it, getting outs and doing what I needed to do with it.” Coach Michalski said that his team went to its first state tournament with one goal and that was to win. Mission accomplished. “We made up our mind coming into Murfreesboro that we weren’t going to lose,” coach Michalski said. “This is the toughest team that I’ve ever coached and they’re the best elimination team in the state. “This shows the character that these kids have. People see what they do with baseball but they don’t see them every day and they don’t know them like I do.” The Hawks never faced elimination in Murfreesboro as they reeled off four straight wins en route to claiming their first state championship, but Hardin Valley won two elimination games on

the road to make it to the Midstate, but the road to the title packed plenty of adversity for the Hawks, who found themselves down 1-0 after the third inning. The Ads took the lead in the frame when Chandler Chambers doubled home sophomore Justen Freeman, who singled to reach base. Freeman was playing because Duncan Pence, junior starting shortstop, was serving a suspension after being ejected in the semifinals. HVA answered in the top of the fourth on Martin’s RBI single that plated Gambuzza with the tying run. Farragut, which squandered several scoring opportunities in the game, regained the lead on a triple by Chambers. Freeman scored after being hit by Neely. Thompson said that the Hawks never panicked in the game. “We just knew when they got up that we had to keep fighting,” he said. “We had to fight back and we started striking the ball hard. Hardin Valley knotted the game 2-2 in the six when Sears singled in Pung, who reached on an error. The Admirals had chances to win in the seventh and eighth but Neely escaped a pair of jams with

no damage when Chambers grounded out to close the seventh and Tyler Lugo rapped into an inning-ending double play in the eighth. “We’re a tough team,” said Neely, who yielded to closer Greg Valentine in the ninth. “This is just awesome for our seniors to end things like this and go out on top.” For the Admirals, it was a game of missed opportunities according to Buckner. “We had some chances to score a few more runs early but we didn’t get it done,” he said.

MURFREESBORO — Hardin Valley Academy made its first trip to the Class AAA Baseball State Tournament in 2015 and at first glance, it looked as though the Hawks advanced to the championship game with relative ease. HVA swept its portion of the tournament bracket and although the Hawks never faced elimination, they had to come from behind to beat Bartlett to earn a spot in the title game. The Hawks had to overcome an early 3-0 deficit to claim an 8-3 victory over the Panthers Thursday, May 21 at Oakland High School. “We talked about there being a game with adversity; lots of it and we talked about the reason that we were going to win with the adversity is because we’re ready for it,” HVA coach Joe Michalski said. “They’ve been waiting for a game where the other team threw the first punch so they could throw the second punch and win it. “I think they definitely used the season to pull strength from.” The Hawks, who improved to 28-15 with the win, definitely faced some early adversity as the Panthers scored three runs over the first three innings off Hardin Valley starter Ryder Green pitched a scoreless fourth and eventually earned the win. Hardin Valley, which mustered only five hits in the game pulled to within 3-1 in the fourth before taking the lead by plating four runs in the fourth. The Hawks enjoyed a three-run seventh and relievers Drew Parks and Greg Valentine were able to shut

Bartlett down. Offensively, Dylan Harris went 2-for-3 and drove in a run. He also scored twice. Junior left fielder Matt Martin, who went 1-for-3 with a run batted in. “This time last year we were all sitting at home on our couches,” Hawks 8 Martin said. “We Panthers 3 knew we didn’t want that again. “It’s kill or be killed.” Hardin Valley advanced to the semifinals with a 6-1 victory over Soddy-Daisy Wednesday, May 20. In that game, the Hawks spotted the Trojans a run in the top of the first before scoring six unanswered runs of their own. Zach Sears had three hits and two RBIs for the Hawks while catcher Vinny Gambuzza went 2for-4 and knocked in two runs. Third baseman Ian Pung had a hit and scored three times. Tyler Thompson had two hits and knocked in a run. Hardin Valley played its firstever State Tournament game Tuesday, May 19, against Bartlett. Not only did the Hawks win the game 2-0 but HVA ace and Tennessee Vols signee Will Neely, one of Knox County’s top pitchers, tossed a no-hitter as he outdueled Nick Bramlett. Neely walked four and hit a batter in the contest. He struck out eight. The Hawks generated the game’s only two runs in the bottom of the third inning. Hardin Valley’s Dom Leo’s double was the only extra-base hit. Seth Hunt and Landen Beyer got the other two Hawks hits Hawks. Dylan Harris drove in a run.

Advice for the Newlyweds Dear Catherine and Eric,

State-of-the-Art Collision Repair Facility

KEN LAY

Congratulations on becoming man and wife. Mom and I could not be more excited for you. Thanks to both of you for asking for our opinions on certain things. We will only provide when asked and only in the context that you ask them. Please put us back in the appropriate parental box when the questions have been answered and don’t let me answer without first being asked. Your first question dealt with what should be one of the first financial priorities of all families—the emergency fund. You cannot predict an emergency. It happens to everyone. The car breaks down, the air conditioner goes out, the ice machine breaks. You could find yourself in credit card debt or a really bad financial jam early on without a fully funded rainy day fund. There is very little that can add more stress to a marriage than a financial problem.

So here we go: • Make savings a priorityIt’s a necessity, not a luxury. It is your way of dealing with what the world sometimes leaves on your doorstep or under your hood. • Know how much to saveGet the first $1,000 saved. Do not do begin any other types of savings plans until that minimal goal is accomplished, then build on that. Advance then to three to six months of your income in an emergency fund. Like your marriage, it will take time and discipline and love and attention to make it happen. • Decide where to saveThis money is for you in the time of need. It is not an investment. Go to the bank or credit union and open a money market or an add-on CD account so funds are accessible in an emergency. • Find money to saveYou may need to work at trimming some things in your life such as cell phone

plan or cable TV features, or eating out. You may even need to drive your current car another year to make it work but with a sharp eye on your budget you will find the funds to save. • Automate your savingsAllocate a specified amount to save automatically each and every pay period. You will never miss it if you do not see it. • Celebrate your accomplishmentsApply advice 1-5 and you will be pleased with your results when you celebrate your first anniversary together. Remember, everything that we share with you is because either we did it ourselves and it worked out well or we did not do it and wished that we had. We love you.

Webb girls, boys state tennis champs; Irish No. 1, Bearden 2nd

I

KEN LAY Correspondent

MURFREESBORO — Lorenzo Rollhauser closed out his high school tennis career in grand style Friday afternoon, May 22. Rollhauser, who has starred at Webb School of Knoxville for five years, left Old Fort Park as Division II-A State Singles champion. “It feels great winning again,” said Rollhauser, who defeated University School of Nashville’s Will Johnston 6-1, 6-2 to claim his third career singles title. “Every time you win a state championship, it’s a big deal. Since he was an eighth grader, Rollhauser has been a part of four Webb state championship teams, won three singles titles and a doubles championship. He helped lead the Spartans to the 2015 team title early last week (which was Webb’s third straight) but he’s never one to take things for granted. “Coach Jimmy [Pitkanen] has meant so much to me in my career and in my life,” Rollhauser said. “He’s taught us never to take anything for granted and he’s taught us that every state championship is special.” Rollhauser’s singles title culminated another magical stay in Murfreesboro for the Spartans. Webb won both the boys and girls team titles Wednesday, May 20, at Old Fort. The boys claimed their third consecutive team title with a 4-0 victory over University School of Jackson. Rollhauser, Thomas Loaiza, Ohm Sharma and Parker Hamilton each won their matches in the finals. The Lady Spartans won their sixth consecutive state title with

a 4-1 victory over St. Mary’s. There, Webb picked up wins from Lauren Yoon, Anna Wisniewski Diana Grandas and Divya Agarawal. Agarawal and Quinn Riley played in the doubles title. The duo won a quarterfinal match before falling in the second round. Grandas and Wisniewski reached the doubles state title match before losing. In girls singles; Yoon reached the semifinals before falling. Webb had two boys doubles

teams (Loaiza and Sharma and Hamilton and Rajeev Jadhav) reach the state quarterfinals. Pitkanen was humble after his program left with multiple state titles again. “You never take these wins for granted because all of these championships are special,” he said. “They’re all special because you just never know when you’re

going to get back here. We have great kids who are coachable and we teach them to be their own coaches on the court.” In Class A/AA, Knoxville Catholic’s boys won a second consecutive team championship. The Irish successfully defended the 2014 title with a 4-0 sweep of Trinity Christian. Catholic picked up wins from Mitchell Jostes, Jacob Lorino, Michael Holloway and Michael Aleman. The Irish advanced to the title match with a 4-0 win over David Lipscomb. “This is great,” Rusty Morris, KCHS coach, said. “It was so important for us to win this and send our five seniors out the right way. These boys are match tested and they know what it takes to win. They know how to handle everything.” Jostes teamed up with Holloway Friday to win the Class A/AA Doubles championship. “We have five seniors and we won last year,” he said. “We knew we had a chance to win if we stayed focused,” he said. Holloway agreed. “We just kept playing hard and we knew that if we kept playing hard that we could win,” he said. Lorino brought KCHS another state championship when he captured the individual singles title. The Lady Irish had a state qualifier in Sara Myers, who reached the quarterfinals. In Class A/AA girls doubles, Christian Academy of Knoxville’s tandem of Allison Ivey and Elise DeNicola won a second consecutive championship. They won the title as eighth graders last season and also led CAK to its first-ever

team championship in 2014. “If the school shut down tennis, these girls would be the most decorated players in school history,” Lady Warriors’ coach David Helbig said. “They’re only freshmen but they were a big part of our first team championship last year.” In Class AAA girls singles, Bearden took an undefeated record into the state championship Match before losing 4-2 to perennial powerhouse Ravenwood. Julia Adams and Brittany Foust won their singles matches against the Lady Raptors. From there, the duo would go on to play for a state doubles championship Friday. They lost the title match to Olivia Crawley and Chloe Mitchell of SoddyDaisy, 6-0, 7-6. “I’m proud that we made it to the final,” Foust said. “This is the first time that the Lady Bulldogs have made the finals in doubles.” Adams, a freshman, agreed with her teammate. “I’m glad that we made it to state this year,” she said. Bearden coach Tyler Lane was also pleased. “Our goal every year is to get somebody to Murfreesboro and when you’re able to take a team, it’s that much more special,” he said. “It was a great year for our program.” In Class AAA girls singles, Farragut sophomore Hannah Price reached the state tourney and lost in the quarterfinals. In Class AAA boys singles, FHS junior Gary Carter won a state quarterfinal match against Will Spencer of Germantown 6-2, 6-3 before falling in the semis to eventual state champ Steven Karl from Ravenwood in straight sets.

break to rest, to recuperate and get stronger, affected me last season,” he said. As a result of not allowing himself sufficient recovery time with rest last season, “I had a bone bruise, I had tendinitis in both my knees. … My knee was all black and swollen,” Wright, who was undecided on a college as of May 22, said. Wright and senior Ben McCay, HVA pole vault state champ (1500.00), also helped Hardin Valley finish tied with Brentwood for fourth place statewide as a team (43 points). “Ben had a great day [Thursday],” Brown said. “... I knew he would have a good day. He was on. He had a great jump at 15[-feet].” About his personal records set Friday, Wright said, “I didn’t expect to PR by that much. It was shocking, it was great.” “He just rose to the occasion. A great day for him in both the long and triple jump,” Brown said, adding Wright’s significant PR improvement in both events “is an enormous accomplishment.” Also labeling Wright a major college jumping talent, Brown said, “He’s got great potential, sky’s the limit for him.” Only a freshman, Bearden thrower Joshua Saboto, 14, finished fifth in state in shot put

referee kind of slowed the game down a little more. I felt things were squeezing away from us and they were able to capitalize.” The Warriors’ best scoring chance was midway through the first half: Creel broke away from a scrum on the left side of the pitch then get open in the middle before firing a shot, from about 15 yards out, just above the crossbar. “That’s one that I usually put away, I should have had that one in the first half,” Creel said. “It’s doubly frustrating seeing this team win two times, but you’re got to respect them,” Creel added. “… We were looking for-

ward to this game all year, so it hurts a little bit for sure.” “Creel has been our magic man all season long,” Day said, adding CPA has “a very talented, very fast defense.” “Jon Creel is a goal-scorer, I think he had 45 goals going into this game,” Gerlach said. Matt Zacyzk, CAK sophomore midfielder, “is probably one of the best players in the state,” Gerlach added. “… a workhorse, he was probably my biggest fear of the day. He’s a beast. He is top-notch.” Gerlach said Day, his former assistant coach at CAK, “is my best friend,” adding, “I know they’re being fed as young men in Christ and Jon does a great job of that.”

(51-06.50) and sixth in discus (149-11). “He’s done outstanding. He PR’d in both events,” Hunter Fendley, BHS head coach, said. “He had never broken 50 feet in the shot, and he clustered three throws 50-plus [feet] today. … Almost a 2-foot PR, so that was huge. “His discus PR was two feet,” Fendley added. Other top four state finishes among Westsiders in Class AAA boys events were senior Hawk Jose Parrilla, who finished fourth in 800-meter run.

Hawks capture eighth place as a team. Other top four AAA state finishers for the Lady Hawks was its 4 X 100 relay team, which took fourth. Carey, who finished fourth in shot put at state last season, said she “was expecting it to be nice and pretty, but I just dealt with it

… it wasn’t that big of a factor. I think I did alright. “… But I felt a lot of stress from everything that’s been going on this past week,” she added. “I do better when I’m calm and relaxed.” Willie Parker, Farragut field events and sprints coach, said Carey “improved four feet from last year. … I think some college coaches will start to notice her throwing that far as a junior.”

Wallie Culbreth, retiring FHS boys soccer head coach, center, receives a plaque of appreciation from Donald Dodgen, Farragut athletics director, during a reception in Culbreth’s honor at Milestones Event Center Saturday evening, April 18. Also present was Eddie Courtney, Admirals varsity football head coach.

Culbreth retires after 4 state, one national title as FHS soccer coach

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Wallie Culbreth took note of his “many” former Farragut High School boys soccer players showing up at Bearden High School’s Bruce Allender Field April 2: they wanted to see what turned out to be Culbreth’s last game coaching against his biggest rival. “Look at all these former players coming back,” said Culbreth, who won four state titles (2003, 2004, 2007 and 2009), one national crown (2004) and one National Coach of the Year honor in 14 seasons at the helm before retiring following the 2015 season. That announcement came just a few days prior to an exciting come-from-behind 3-2 victory against the SoccerDawgs — capping Culbreth’s impressive 14-year record versus the Admirals’ most bitter rival and three-time Class AAA state champion program. Farragut’s soccer booster club sponsored a reception in Culbreth’s honor Saturday evening, April 18, in Milestones Event Center in Farragut. Ryan Stinton, a former Admirals All-state midfielder (Class of 2010) and current FHS assistant coach, is one of the few FHS alumni who has both played for and coached under Culbreth. “He was able to really get the best out of his players. I played for him four years, and I’ve been coaching with him three years. He’s really just a

role model for all the players,” Stinton said. “All the players really understand that, and they know that they can come to him for anything — on or off the field. He’s not just a coach, but he’s really a mentor to everybody who plays under him. “One thing I didn’t understand” before becoming a coach, is the time he puts in on and off the field is a lot,” Stinton added. “I think what’s helped me the most with his coaching is his specifics to detail.” Dave Stinton and Bruce Mottern are two program boosters who have had more than one son excel at FHS under Culbreth. Both spoke to the gathering about the now retired FHS skipper. Although Culbreth “has upset a player or two over the years” with his coaching methods according to Mottern, he added the coach was “teaching accountability, he was teaching teamwork, he was teaching you to show up and be ready to play physically and mentally. It was about pride.” Using his own sons as examples, Mottern said such methods “taught them how to stand up, how to be prepared. They’re accountable to a team. It was a great experience. “I think that’s a tribute to Wallie,” Mottern added. “… You have to come down sometimes on players.” Thanks to Culbreth’s success in garnering national rankings and beating outstanding teams See CULBRETH on Page 8B

Four generations of Culbreths were represented at Wallie Culbreth's reception, including his father, Walter Culbreth Jr., who enjoys some playful moments with his great-grandson, Casen Culbreth, 3.

FHS class opens the door to law enforcement ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Not ruling out a career in law enforcement, Trainor Gray and Justin Kirkendall took Criminal Justice I class at Farragut High School during spring semester of 2014-15 school year. Though Kirkendall, a junior, said his goal “is to be somewhere in the engineering field” as a career, he added, “It’s good to see other careers and have other options as well to think about.” Planning to join the U.S. Army and train to become a Ranger in homes of “making a career out the Army,” Gray, also an FHS junior, added, “I’ve thought about law enforcement after I come out of the military.” In retired police Sgt. Derek Pacifico’s criminal justice classes (CJ I, II and III), visits have already been made to FHS from “the FBI, the Secret Service” plus an elaborate display from Knox County Sheriff’s Office, Kirkendall said. “Special Agent Jeff Walls came and he talked about doing a security detail on [former President] George W. Bush’s father,” former President George H.W. Bush, Kirkendall said. “It was really cool to learn about all he did, how he protected him and stuff.” “The FBI training process is a

lot like the military. … They go to an academy and train there months on end,” Gray said he learned after FBI’s visit to Pacifico’s classes. “That really surprised me.” KCSO visited April 23, for about 3-and-a-half hours, and drew roughly 200 FHS students. “They came in and they told us everything about the SWAT Team, about the Bomb Squads, about the K-9 Units and they brought in a chopper. We got to look at the chopper. … They landed it up on the middle school soccer field,” Gray, 17, said. “It’s really light. You touch it and it feels like you could crumble it with your hands. … “we got to look at these bomb robots that disassemble the bombs, and we got to watch the [K-9] dog and his obedience training.” “They got to hear from the officers themselves about what it takes to get on the department, and what it takes to get on those specialized details,” Pacifico said. “… Most people don’t know how much is actually involved in becoming a police officer or a peace officer. How much education’s involved. How much training is involved.” Kirkendall and Gray both said they “plan on taking” Criminal Justice II under Pacifico during fall semester as seniors.

Clifton parking woes recalled during Fulmer Golf Classic ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

An All-Southeastern Conference and All-Pro NFL offensive lineman, Chad Clifton is one of the few former Tennessee Volunteers Football players to earn both a national championship ring and a Super Bowl ring. But it was “earning” a series of parking tickets “either my freshman or my redshirt freshman year” that brought a big smile to the face of this former Vol and ex-Green Bay Packers offensive tackle. “I would drive to class and I accumulated a lot of parking tickets. And I remember my mother calling coach [Phil Fulmer] and saying, ‘I don’t know what to do, I’m getting all these tickets?’ said Clifton, coming from his home in

Franklin to be special guest of Fulmer’s during 16th Annual Phil Fulmer Golf Classic to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley. Featuring three morning and three afternoon best ball flights, event was held Friday, April 17, at Willow Creek Golf Club. “And coach Fulmer said, ‘Well, I know how to put an end to this.’ So he took my car for, like, a semester, and made me park at, I think, coach Mark Bradley’s house. So I had to walk to class for, like, a whole semester I believe.” Clifton was eager to remind Fulmer about this story while the former Vols head coach held his grandson, Noah Ennen, 2. “I remember that,” Fulmer said with a big laugh. “Just like my girls at UT, we had parking issues from time to time and still do on cam-

It’s all in your head Did you know that a daily routine that directs your day and leaves you organized with lots of free time to be spontaneous and play, is filled with good habits? It’s kind of obvious, isn’t it? Of course the opposite is true too. A day that la- Pam cks a collection of good Young habits and Make it is filled wiFun! th a bunch of bad ones will leave you frustrated and pooped at the end of the day. But once you’ve established a daily routine filled with good habits, you’ll see how fun and easy it is to be organized. Once you see how making a good habit is so easy (it just takes time), you can handle more than one new habit at a time. Baby stepping into change is good, but there comes a time when you have to grow up, if you intend to thrive. Once a bird learns how to fly, it flies; it doesn’t flutter and flop around for years complaining to its flock that it struggles to fly.

Neyland [Stadium] and play football.” Clifton and wife, , Candy have two sons: Corbin, 9, and Cruz, 7. Event winners: AM Flight 1 (60), Griffin Brownlee, Joe Fielden Jr., Spike McCamy and Stuart Oakes. AM Flight 2 (59), Brooks Keisler, Shawn Snyder and John Vandergriff.

If you’ve told me you’re struggling to be organized, it’s time to stop saying that, because there’s no need to struggle. It’s just a thought that carries high negative voltage. They’re thoughts you’ve collected in your life that have become habitual thoughts and they’re the ones that wear you down and keep you from succeeding. They are thoughts you’ve thought so often you don’t even realize you’re thinking them. Here’s the deal, any thought you think long enough, becomes a belief. Those of my readers who believe they have to struggle to get organized are right; because once you believe something, it’s true for you! But what if you changed your belief? What if you started a new thought like, I love how fun it is to be organized. When you start thinking that thought (I love how fun it is to be organized), it’ll only be a matter of time that it’ll be installed as a belief. You can’t just think the new thought once or twice or even all day long for one day, you have to keep thinking it until it becomes a routine thought and that takes approximately 21 days! I believe the reason my book, Sidetracked Home Executives is so popular with disorganized women, is because it speaks directly to the talented and gifted, loving, caring,

creative part of each woman, not the disorganized part. The disorganized part is minimal! There are millions of successful women who are disorganized and they’ve learned to get help in that area. Learn to delegate, it’s that simple. Start thinking, “I love how fun it is to be organized.” Write it on 3x5 cards and put them in places where you’ll bump into them as a reminder of your new thought. Whatever circumstance you’re in today, good or bad, it is the result of your habitual thoughts and when you want to change a circumstance, do you see that to get to a different circumstance you’ll need to change your habitual thinking? The only thing that stands in the way of what you want is your negative thinking. You’re the only one who can remove the habit of thinking those thoughts that aren’t serving you. Begin today and refuse to allow anyone, including yourself, to cause you to doubt your ability to succeed.

Farragut Rotary hosts inaugural Food Gala fundraiser ■ TAMMY CHEEK

tcheek@farragutpress.com

Rotary Club of Farragut members said they were pleased with the turnout for the club’s inaugural fundraising event, International Food Gala. “I think it’s going to be a real nice signature event,” Farragut Rotarian Tom Marsh said about the gala, which took place Saturday night, April 18, at The University of Tennessee Visitors Center along Neyland Drive, Knoxville. “I think it’s a great opportunity to learn about different cultures, and it’s a great opportunity to meet with Rotarians to discuss the internationality of Rotary,” John Germ of Chattanooga, the event’s guest of honor who will take office as Rotary International president July 1, 2016, said. “Rotarians around the world are providing service to make lives better, and events like this truly calls the attention to the international aspects of Rotary that we are all in one world,” Germ added. Jerry Wear, Rotary District 6780 governor, said the event was really exceptional.

“I think it’s going to be a good fundraiser in the future,” Wear said. “It’s a good experience for Rotarians to experience foods from different cultures. “I hope more people in the district will take advantage of it next year,” he added. “They made this a cultural event, as well as a fundraiser, and had a really good turnout their first year. Obviously, there’s good interest in being here.” Keith Bryson, one of the event chairmen along with Wes Cate and Drake Little, said the gala replaced the adult spelling bee as the club’s major spring fundraiser. “We were just looking for something different,” he said. “We heard of other clubs doing an international food dinner. We felt the international theme goes well with Rotary International.” “We met our expectations for the event,” Little said. “It takes care of our main fundraiser for the year.” “I thought for a first-time event, it was really great,” Cate said. “It exceeded our expectations.” Rotarian club members sold 120 tickets for the gala, Bryson said.

Proceeds from the fundraiser benefited Farragut High School and PSCC scholarships, World of Rotary Day and other RCF-sponsored projects, Bryson said. “I think it’s going great,” Nancy Bosson said. “I’m looking forward to it. With this being inaugural,

it’s the first of great things to come.” Lee Mrazek, Rotary Club of Farragut president, said she also is excited as well about the event. “The committee had to plan a brand new event,” Mrazek said. “Obviously, they did an excellent

job, and I’m proud of them.” Pellissippi State Community College’s Culinary Arts Institute student teams partnered with the institute’s faculty to prepare the food and competing to see See ROTARY on Page 7B

who had the best dishes. The team presenting Spanish cuisine won that competition. “[The students] are the ones who made it happen,” Bryson said. “I love it,” PCSS student Juli Stewart, who was part of the Middle Eastern cuisine team, said. “It gives us experience with this event, and I think a lot of people go into culinary arts because they like to do things for people, and it’s a happy occasion.” Student teams were judged by three “celebrity chefs,” Deron Little, owner/chef of Seasons Innovative Bar & Grille; Doug Scarlett, Crossville Rotarian, former Air Force One chef, and owner of Scartlett’s Catering,and John Volpe, general manager of Abuelos Mexican Restaurants. The event involved four different “rooms” in which attendees could go in and choose samples of food from different countries: France, Italy, Spain and coun-

Culbreth From page 1B

outside of Tennessee, Mottern said that upon his travels to Georgia and South Carolina, “It’s kind of funny when I run into people, they know about Farragut soccer. … I’ve been on the beach at Hilton Head and run into people who know about Farragut High School [soccer].” Dave Stinton said to the gathering, “Three of my four boys played for Wallie [including Ryan Stinton] and he really helped them grow up. He helped them learn how to speak for themselves, learn how to think for themselves.” “I just want to say this: thank you very much parents for loaning me your sons. The blessing’s

been mine. I’ve grown and learned a lot coaching these boys,” Culbreth told the gathering. “… I so appreciate you all coming here because I know it’s an inconvenience on Saturday night. “My appreciation to you parents, my appreciation to my boys,” he added. “I’m a better person today because of what everybody in this room has done for me. When my boys leave, every one of them knows they can get me 24 hours a day seven days a week. “I’ve had my character challenged a lot, but I think that when I’ve been challenged I have a history of not being that way. Usually someone steps in to defend me because I’ve been steady in my character.”

Four generations of Culbreths were on hand at the reception: coach Culbreth’s parents, Walter Culbreth Jr. and Peg; coach’s wife, Dee Dee Culbreth; son, Bradley Culbreth and his wife, Megan, and their son, Casen, 3. While coach Culbreth was speaking, Bradley Culbreth came up and put his arm around his father and said, “If you’ve had the pleasure of watching me argue with this old man on the sideline raise your hand?” Most hands went up with laughter. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for him and the family,” Bradley Culbreth, a senior on coach Culbreth’s first FHS team in 2002, added. Mottern became emotional when recalling Culbreth’s late daughter, Brooke Culbreth, who

as team manager and an FHS senior died from heart complications at age 18 in 2006. “She was really invested in the team. She was a sweet young lady,” Mottern said. “I’d give anything in the world to have Brooke here to see this,” Culbreth said. “… Those who didn’t know her really missed a treat. She was a special girl. “My teams hated to loose because she’d cry. … She considered the soccer team her boys. She was at every practice we ever had.” A banner in coach Culbreth’s honor was available to be signed during the annual Brooke Culbreth Memorial Game earlier that day at the program’s Farragut Intermediate School home field and during the recep-

tion. Former players, boosters, family, friends, teachers and administrators combined to fill the roughly 4-by-8-foot banner with signatures. Derek Wright, an assistant under Culbreth for seven seasons (2002-2007, 2012) who helped coach three of Culbreth’s four state championship teams, said his former boss “is a hard-working coach who is really committed to the players.” “With all the things you’ve done for us, we appreciate it,” Donald Dodgen, FHS athletics director, said to Culbreth before presenting him with a plaque during the reception. The plaque was inscribed: “Deep appreciation for your many years of service for Farragut High School boys soccer.”

• Paul West, the next president of Rotary Club of Turkey Creek-Sunset, joined 449 fellow Rotary leaders in completing a recent threestate training program in Nashville. Presidentelects from K e n t u c k y, Tennessee and West Alabama participated in the training program. West, a geologist at CB&I, was selected by the club to serve as its president. He has been a Rotarian for three years. • Audrey Williams has been named Pellissippi State Community College’s new vice president of WIlliams Information Services. Williams has worked at Pellissippi State since 1999, serving as an instructional technology specialist and, most recently, as director of Educational Technology Services. • Culinary Arts at Pellissippi State Community College has gained accreditation through American Culinary Federation Accrediting Commission. Enrollment for fall semester now is open and Pellissippi State’s Culinary Arts Institute prepares students for an Associate of Applied Science degree in business with a concentration in culinary arts. The college’s culinary degree program is the only one accredited in Knoxville. • Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce will hold a networking from 5 to 6:30 p.m., Thursday, May 28, hosted by Tennessee Smokies at Smokies Park, 3540 Line Drive, Kodak. • Jeff Devlin of Farragut, battalion chief with Rural Metro Fire Department, has received the designation of chief fire officer. He is the second among all Rural Metro departments to receive that designation and the first in Knox County.

Farragut has a new optometrist in town. Dr. Jeffrey Silbernagel, OD, has opened his practice, Eyedoc Jeff, next to Costco, May 4. He is accepting new patients and most insurances at the clinic located at 10745 Kingston Pike. “I like being in Farragut,” he said. “I find the people to be very nice and hard-working.” “This is an interesting arrangement with Costco, though, because it is not a necessity for my patients to be Costco members but most of them are,” he added. The patient records from the previous optometrist have remained at the clinic. For Silbernagel, whom patients know as Dr. Jeff, opening a practice came second to moving to East Tennessee. A New Orleans native, he and his wife, Diana Davis, a medical nutritionist, bought a house in 2009 in Tellico Plains. “The mountains, clear mountain rivers, fresh air and temperate climate brought me here,” he said. “We liked it so much in East Tennessee, we moved here fulltime in 2014.” Silbernagel worked part-time in some optometrist offices until he learned Costco had an opening, he said. “It takes time to find the right location and get on insurance plans,” the doctor said. Silbernagel practices medical optometry and pediatric optometry with a special interest in functional vision assessment, contact lens fittings and developing a center for macula health. He is available for urgent care such as removing foreign bodies, red eyes and eye infections. His contact lens practice focuses on contact lens patients that require bifocals or multifo-

cal correction as well as the standard near-sighted or far-sighted conditions. From his days as a clinical instructor at Louisiana State University Medical Center Department of Ophthalmology in New Orleans, he is accomplished in fitting specialty rigid gas permeable lenses for the use in treating keratonconus and post surgical cases such as corneal transplant and RK, Silbernagel said. His remedy for a common cause of blindness, Macular Degeneration, he said, “I believe in early detection and prevention. That’s the best way to take care of [diseases].” Silbernagel has specialized equipment such as a retinal camera that allows a full picture of the retina without dilating the

eyes, and a high-definition computerized refractor, with which a computer takes baseline measurements to determine prescriptions for eyeglasses. “These instruments are not currently in every clinic,” he said. Silbernagel has been practicing optometry for 26 years. “I enjoy listening to the patients and solving their visual problems, whether that is prescribing simple glasses or contacts or handling a complicated case such as surgeries or eye disease,” he said. He graduated from University of New Orleans in 1984 and then from University of Houston College of Optometry in 1989, completed his internship from Little Rock, Va., Hospital in 1989 and completed his residency from the LSUMC Department of

Statcare Pulmonary Consultants expands to Farragut ■ TAMMY CHEEK

tcheek@farragutpress.com

Farragut patients of Statcare Pulmonary Consultants will no longer have to drive as far. Statcare Pulmonary Consultants, a division of Summit Medical Group, has expanded its services to offer a new location in Farragut, an addition to its downtown office. Statcare opened the new office April 27 at 10904 Kingston Pike. The new office provides convenient access, greater hours and ample parking for patients, Jennifer Burke, Statcare marketing/communications manager, said. “We are very excited,” Amber Singleton, site manager for Statcare Pulmonary Consultants, said. “We have been wanting to expand in the West Knoxville area. ‘We started that expansion a year ago,” Singleton added. “We were seeing patients at our Summit Express Clinic Farragut

office in the morning. We were limited in our growth because

we could only see patients for a few hours a day.

“We have expanded to an allday location, so now we can grow,” she said. “Now, we are open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., five days a week, Mondays through Fridays,” Singleton said. The new offices will have five physicians on staff — Dr. Scott Luchsinger, Dr. John Prince, Dr. Matthew Reichert, Dr. Corey Cudzilo and Dr. Shannon Byrd. “These are pulmonary physicians who specialize in the treatment of lung-related disorders that include asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,” Burke said. Singleton added the physicians also focus on such diagnoses as abnormal chest X-rays, asbestos, chronic cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, lung nodules or masses, plural effusions, pulmonary infections, sarcoidosis, sleep disorders. Statcare Pulmonary Consultants, with an office in Cherokee Mills off Sutherland Avenue,

Knoxville, has been in existence since August 2000, she said. Burke said the Farragut office is accepting new patients, as well as existing patients from its Sutherland Avenue office. For more information or to make an appointment, call 865588-8831 or visit summitmedical.com. Summit Medical Group has more than 220 physicians at 54 practice locations in 12 East Tennessee counties, and it has four ancillary service centers, eight physical therapy centers, four express clinics and one sleep services center, Burke said. “Summit provides healthcare services to an average of more than 270,000 patients,” she said. “It is dedicated to offering value-based care. “Summit’s Statcare division provides superior care for hospitalized patients and includes more than 60 physicians working with mid-level providers,” Burke said.

Repeats Galore, formerly located along Kingston Pike, has a new location and a new name. The Farragut business, owned by Jill Jordon, has been rebranded as The Consignment Shoppe @ Campbell Station and moved to 11316 Station West Drive, off Campbell Station Road. Shoppers can find her shop in the log cabin next to Apple Cake Tea Room. She can be reached at 865-675-7222. “The cabin is cozy and warm, has two levels and six rooms to display women’s and men’s clothing, jewelry and handbags, as well as home furnishings and accessories,” Jordan added. “I even have a large covered porch for patio and garden items. “... We accept only the best of the best in all categories,” she added. “In furniture, we try to stick to a blend of rustic, industrial and modern.” Jordan said she and her staff will research, price and display people’s items free of charge. “You, as the consignor, get paid a percentage of the selling price once it has sold. And if after a couple of months an item doesn’t sell, you can take the item back, let it go on clearance or let it be donated to a local non-profit, Ladies of Charity, and you get the tax write-off,” she said.

The aftershocks continue to shake our nation 150 years later.
