FBA, Town set stage for annual Red, White & Blues Tuesday, July 3
■
HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com
Farragut Business Alliance’s third annual Red, White & Blues Festival will be bigger and better than ever, said FBA president Allison Sousa. “It’s Farragut’s tip of the hat to our nation’s birthday,” Sousa said. “It’s an annual event and a chance to get out and celebrate with your neighbors,” she added. Red, White & Blues, presented by TDS Telecom, will be held from 6:30 to 10 p.m., Tuesday,
July 3, on property adjacent to farragutpress, 11863 Kingston Pike. Tickets will only be sold at the door and are $5 for adults and $2 for children under age 12, payable with cash or card, except for American Express. This year, the event will start later and feature more food vendors and more entertainment. “We wanted to start it later for a couple of reasons. No. 1, it was really hot last year ... and No. 2, folks wanted it to go a little later and they wanted to hang out and listen to the music a little later,” Sousa said.
DJ John Rutherford of Pro Audio will open at 6:30 and play until shortly before 8. Headliner Dishwater Blonde will open at 8 p.m. and play two 45-minute sets. “It’s a funk, rock, R&B band and they’re pretty well known regionally,” Sousa said. Food vendors include Archer’s Barbecue, Mario’s Pizza, Meksiko Cantina, Newk’s Café, Oskie’s Bar & Grill, Scoop’d and The Shrimp Dock. The vendors will be selling barbecue, pizza, Mexican dishes, sandwiches, burgers, shrimp
boils and of course, frozen desserts. Food vendors will charge $7 per meal. Frozen desserts, beer and wine will cost extra. Dixie Lee Wine & Liquors and Farragut Wine & Spirits will sponsor the adult beverage booth. Wine will be provided by Fetzer Wines, margaritas by Cordina Margaritas and beer by Smoky Mountain Brewery. Other activities will include a face-painting booth, watermelon eating contest — manned by State Rep. Ryan Haynes — and glow sticks for sale. TDS and
Allied Music Instructors also will have booths. A children’s play area will include inflatables and bouncy houses. Because the event is being held later in the evening, the tents, stage and kids’ play area will be lit. Event attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs, and can park at area businesses. Presenting sponsor of Red, White & Blues is TDS Telecom. Other event sponsors include Town of Farragut, BB&T, Hampton Inn & Suites, i105.3, WMTY and farragutpress.
Hardin Valley Academy BOMA tables budget funding questioned ■ HEATHER BECK

A member of Farragut’s school education relations committee cautioned the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to be aware of its funding for Hardin Valley Academy, in comparison to Farragut High School, at the Board’s June 14 meeting. Russ Barber said he supported the Board’s increase in funding for schools, but was unsure if Hardin Valley should receive the same level. “There is a big difference between Farragut High School and Hardin Valley as far as the members of the community that attend those schools. Based on information I was given, there are only 166 students from Farragut that attend Hardin
Valley,” Barber said. “That might be something to consider in the future, as far as giving more preference to what Farragut High School receives as opposed to Hardin Valley,” he added. In first reading of the fiscal year 2013 budget, the Board cut $40,000 in funding from Knoxville Area Transit and divided it evenly among the five schools serving Farragut students. If the budget passes on second reading, Farragut Primary, Intermediate, Middle and High schools and Hardin Valley Academy each would receive $22,000 this year. The schools historically receive $10,000 See SCHOOLS on Page 3A
After a citizen’s plea to keep Knoxville Area Transit funding in the budget, Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen tabled second reading of its fiscal year 2013 budget until June 28. “The bus truly does benefit many commuters ... but the benefit goes beyond just those who ride,” Farragut Crossing resident Mark Calvert told the Board at its meeting Thursday, June 14. “No matter how beautiful the aesthetics of the area, or how attractive the residential and commercial properties are, or how receptive and accommodating the community is to new businesses and new residents, Farragut will be at a disadvantage in attracting new residents and new businesses — and in keeping current residents and businesses — if the air quality
is regularly unhealthy,” he said. And if Farragut were to have no access to public transportation, that also would be disadvantageous, he added. In first reading of the budget, the Board had voted — with Alderman Bob Markli dissenting — to cut $40,000 in funding from the KAT Farragut Express bus route and to divide most of that money between schools serving Farragut children. Markli said he’d voted against “pulling the rug from under KAT.” He made a motion to restore $35,000 of funding to KAT and use $5,000 to promote the Express bus route, which runs from Campbell Station Road to downtown Knoxville several times a day. His motion died for lack of a second. Only Alderman Jeff Elliott and Mayor Ralph McGill were in attendance at the See BOMA on Page 3A

deathnotices • COLE, Catherine Croll, age 99, died peacefully in her sleep at home in Knoxville Thursday, June 14, 2012, of natural causes. Born May 31, 1913, to Ella Cole Croll and Perry Bean Croll in Skippack, Pa., her family moved to Dunellen, N.J., where she grew up. After graduating from Trenton State Teachers College with a bachelor’s degree she continued her education at Penn State where she graduated with a master’s degree. During World War II she served in the U.S. Navy as a lieutenant from January 1943 until October 1946. While in the navy she married her sweetheart, Bill, and after her discharge they settled in Lebanon, N.J., where she began using her degrees as a teacher in an area school until they started their family. In 1956, they purchased the business that Bill worked for and moved into the business property of Hildebrant and Cole Heating oil in Whitehouse Station, N.J., where she spent a long happy life. Catherine started a local chapter of the Girl Scouts of America and was a member of the Eastern Star. She was a member of the Whitehouse United Methodist Church and loved baking her apple pies for the Harvest Home dinners there. At the age of 70, after the death of her beloved Bill, she moved to St. Simons Island, Ga., where she spent almost 21 years learning and playing bridge, walking along the ocean and spending time with her new friends and daughter, Bonnie. In 2004, she and her daughter moved to their home in Knoxville where she spent the last eight years of her life enjoying the views out her windows, spending time with both of her daughters, reading many books and watching her favorite TV shows. Catherine is survived by her loving daughters, Kathy Cole Rinaca, Bonnie Sue Cole and Bonnie’s fiancé, Bill Union; a grandson; three
policereports loved great-grandchildren; special daughters, her caregivers, Debra Riddle, Niki Souder and Angel Ewing, all of whom she loved; several nieces and nephews and their families.

BOMA From page 1A
June 14 meeting. McGill recommended tabling the discussion until June 28, when the full Board presumably will be present. Elliott and Markli agreed. Calvert said the Farragut Express takes an average of 20 cars off the road each morning and evening, equaling 10,700 car trips and 160,000 miles per year. “That benefits the air we all breathe,” Calvert said, particularly in an area that ranks high in air pollution dangers. Calvert said at current funding levels — the $40,000 per year the Town has allocated recently — riders are paying about 34 percent of the cost of operating the Farragut Express, with Farragut funding about 65 percent. In most public transportation setups, riders pay about 20 percent and governments fund 80 percent. “The benefits of public transportation are not free,” Calvert said. KAT requests $80,000 per year from the Town. The City of Knoxville normally makes up the difference. KAT general manager Cynthia McGinnis said that arrangement
seemed to be “the happy medium” between what the Town was willing to pay and what Knoxville was willing to subsidize. “Suggesting less funding might not do the route much good,” McGinnis said. McGinnis admitted the Express “is not a high productivity route,” but said that was largely due to parking problems at the Town’s park and ride lot off Campbell Station. A number of other groups use the lot, leaving little room for bus riders. “The parking has been the problem. That’s why we’ve plateaud,” Calvert said. All the same, ridership on the Express is up 12 percent over last year, McGinnis said. “I’m willing to discuss it some more,” McGill told her. Markli asked Town staff to research solutions to the park and ride problem before the June 28 meeting, and particularly to recruit Farragut Business Alliance and Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce to help find a new site. “We’ve got to get some muscle behind it,” Markli said.

per year. Mayor Ralph McGill asked Barber if he was suggesting the Town figure out how many Farragut residents attend each school they fund. “A lot of Farragut school kids don’t live in Farragut,” McGill said. Barber said he wanted the Board to be aware of the wide discrepancy in the makeup of school children from Farragut comprising the two high schools. The Board didn’t vote on Barber’s suggestion, nor did they vote on second reading of the budget at all. With only three members in attendance, the
Board opted to table second reading of the budget until June 28. Alderman Ron Honken and Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche were absent. The Board did approve two resolutions June 14, including its fiscal year 2013 fee schedule and a resolution supporting a local parks and recreation fund grant application that would pay up to 50 percent of a $122,000 renovation of field two at Mayor Bob Leonard Park. The Board also approved a host of annual maintenance contracts: • Road maintenance contract was awarded to J.G. Mullins Construction Company Inc. for $65,000
• Installation of pavement markings contract was awarded to Volunteer Highway Supply for $30,000 • Guardrail maintenance contract was awarded to Tennessee Guardrail Inc. for $55,000 • Signal maintenance contract was awarded to Progression Electric LLC to $28,000 The Board also approved fiscal year 2013 committee appointments: • Pamela Ziegler, Sandy Garber, William Nichols, Kim Arms, Beverly Hammond, Kimberly Hollis, Lisa Rives and Nancy Wentz to Arts Council • Marty Rodgers, Marie Leonard, Betty Scott and Barbara Allman to Beautification Committee.

• This is in regards to the person who made the comment about how they won’t “contribute another dollar to” [some West Knox stores] for their support of “the legalization of homosexual marriage.” Please do take your dollars elsewhere! I’m sure these businesses can survive without money from a customer full of intolerance and hate such as yourself. Maybe people like you should read and follow the principles from the Bible regarding “love and acceptance” of all people before they ignorantly call into a newspaper with comments such as yours. Thanks! • I don’t understand why our gas prices are higher in Farragut than in other areas just a few miles away. Yesterday, Thursday, regular gas was $3.15 at Weigel’s and Pilot in Farragut, at Kingston Pike/Smith Road and on Campbell Station [Road]. But right down Highway 70 (Kingston Pike) at the intersection of 321 near Lenoir City, Weigel’s was $3.08. It’s been like that for a month or more. That Weigel’s is just eight miles from the Smith Road Weigel’s. A friend texted me a picture yesterday from a Pilot in South Knoxville off Chapman Highway. Gas there was only $2.98. Why are we being discriminated against in Farragut? Does anyone know? • The author questioning the $8 million boon doggle is on the money. There
is no community clamor for even one artificial turf field that so excites [the Board of Mayor and Aldermen] — let alone two. Similarly, I do not see a community call for an amphitheater. What I see is a group of well-intentioned community idea people who, in a sincere effort to improve the Town and provide nice things, invent projects that who could say wouldn’t be nice. And since they are not constrained by the budget woes that most cities and states have these days, and as long as Farragut can afford it — the general community feels — that’s nice — why not? The Presstalk author also insightfully points out we are surrounded by the Tennessee River and five parks. The Editor’s correction that the Northshore parks are county parks is technically correct, but so what. Are we not Knox County and does Farragut have to duplicate what Knox offers? His community center comments are also right on, and as to his question when do we get to say what we want, the answer is — at the next election. Regarding the questions on trucks, the answer is enforcement. How often have you seen a semi pulled over by a Tennessee smokey? Our 65 limit for auto and 55 for trucks are a joke. Actuals are 80 for cars and 65 for trucks. When Tennessee starts enforcing speed and lane restrictions like Georgia and other states with a strong trooper
presence, you will see improved safety. • I was just driving down Campbell Station Road, toward Farragut off of the Interstate, and it just dawned on me how lovely it would have been for Farragut to have the nice [street] lighting that was earlier proposed by our Mayor [Ralph McGill]. I hope they will reconsider that. That’s a beautiful drive down through there now and I think that would be a wonderful asset to the community, for us to have the decorative lighting. Please don’t be discouraged by the ones in the community who worry so much over many things. Go ahead and keep Farragut progressing in a way that brings respect for our community. And we thank you. • Farragut [Municipal Planning Commission]: please let Krispy Kreme come to Farragut with the “hot” sign on. • To the business owner who is having the problem with illegal dumping from people too lazy to drive to the dump: our business had the same problem. We called the company who owns the dumpster and they installed a bar that covers the opening. We lock it and we hold the key. Problem solved.

Burleson, who owns Aubrey’s across the Knoxville metro area, began his restaurateur career when he opened Aubrey’s in Farragut at age 25. Burleson’s birthday and anniversary party included hundreds of guests — family, friends, employees and long-time supporters and customers of Aubrey’s.

Valerie Weissinger Guess, Farragut class of 1999, opened Val’s Boutique at 707 N. Campbell Station Road Saturday, June 2. “We decided to open a second location ... because both of us being from Farragut, we know that there’s such a market here, especially with Turkey Creek being so busy,” Guess said of her decision, along with her husband, to open a Farragut location. “We figured Farragut would be a good location for us,” she added. Val’s Boutique offers a wide array of women’s apparel, ranging from tops, pants, skirts and dresses — and specializing in dresses during summer months. “Like our first store, we’re

Almost everyone would agree: Moving is a hassle. In addition to selling your current home and finding a new one, you may need to deal with a new school for your kids, a new doctor, a new dentist — the list goes on and on. But you’ll also need to consider the financial aspects of your move — specifically, your investments, insurance, taxes and even your estate plans. How can you help make sure that your move doesn’t slow your progress toward your financial goals? Consider the following relocation “checklist”: • Open new bank accounts, and set up automatic transfers. If your move requires you to change banks, open your new accounts as soon as possible. And if you had your previous bank automatically move money each month from a checking or savings account into an investment, set up a similar arrangement at your new bank. • Decide what to do with your employer-sponsored retirement plan. If you are leaving your job, you’ll need to make some decisions about your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. For example, you might have the option of leaving your money in your former employer’s plan, or you may be able to roll the money over to a new employer’s plan. Alternatively, you could decide to transfer the assets into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Your financial advisor can help you make the choice that’s right for your situation. • Discuss your situation with a tax professional. You may want to meet with your tax professional to consider the benefits or liabilities of any differences in tax laws between your new location and your old one. You may also

Consider These Financial Moves When You Relocate need to address any implications resulting from moving and changing jobs. • Review your financial goals. Some of your goals, such as those related to housing and where you want to retire, may have changed as a result of your move. So it’s a good idea to meet with your financial advisor to review your objectives. • Evaluate your monthly budget. If you followed a budget detailing your expenses and cash flow before your move, you may need to update it after you’ve settled in to your new home. If you haven’t set up a budget in the past, you’ve now got a good reason to establish one — because a well-planned budget can help you avoid dipping into your long-term investments to pay for short-term needs. • Update your insurance coverage. Make sure your vehicles, stored possessions and new residence are covered during your move. And if your health insurance is changing, be aware of what’s covered under your new policy. • Review your estate plans. If your move coincides with other important life events, such as marriage, divorce or remarriage, you may need to make some moves related to your estate plans, such as ensuring you have the correct beneficiary designations on any life insurance policies and your 401(k), IRA and other investment accounts. Check with your legal advisor to determine which steps make sense for your situation. Moving may require you to adjust many aspects of your life. Reviewing the items on this checklist can help you get your financial house in order when you move into your new home

THINGS TO LOOK FOR WHEN SHOPPING FOR YOUR DREAM HOME A dream home means different things to different people. To some, an ideal home sits atop a hill and has enough rooms to accommodate generations upon generations of family members. To others, a home small in stature but with views to die for is all a homeowner needs. While preferences may vary on the home itself, there are a few things buyers of all shapes and sizes prefer when shopping for the home of their dreams.

• Agreeable weather. Vacation home shoppers often prefer year-round warm weather so they know their respite from the cold is never too far away. • Affordability. A dream home stays a dream for many people because of the misconception that it is beyond their financial reach. "While a seaside villa in Italy might never be a reality, there are places where it is still affordable to own and maintain a vacation home," says Andrew Nadalin, President of Pace 2000 Inc. • Accessibility of activities. While an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life is great, no one wants to escape to a place with nothing to do. When shopping for a place to buy or build your dream getaway, be sure there's plenty of accessibility to popular activities like boating, fishing, diving, surfing, canoeing, or kayaking. • Proximity to other hotspots. Even if you're looking for a place to simply unwind, a dream home's proximity to hotspots or other exotic locales never hurts. • Proximity to major airports. Unless you plan on living in your vacation home year-round, you'll want the home to be somewhere that's close to major airports. This makes it easier to get to your home and flights won't be as expensive.

Regardless of how his Astros fared against the mighty undefeated Mets in CBFO Softball 810 League’s tournament, head coach David Spates emphasized just how far his team has come. “This doesn’t even look like the same team I started with. They’ve gotten so much better now,” Spates said after his No. 2 tourney-seeded Astros (12-3) beat the Tigers 10-2 Saturday, June 16, in winners bracket play at Northshore Fields. “One of the best things I like about working with girls this age is seeing the improvement from the beginning of the season to the end of the season.” The No. 6 seeded Tigers did upset the No. 3 seeded Cardinals earlier in this double-elimination tournament ending June 20. Meanwhile, in 11-12 League tourney play, the No. 3-seeded Braves upset the top-seed Indians 4-1 Saturday afternoon.

FUD’s ‘Fuddy Duddy’ among 59 teams preparing for 10th Annual KARM race
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
In addition to its fundraising importance, Knox Area Rescue Ministries’ annual Dragon Boat Festival racing — much more than just racing — is all about family. Your workplace family and your biological family. Not phased by the struggles of grasping a sport new to him last year, Chris Martin said, “I liked it; I enjoyed the boat and all the camaraderie and all the kids playing, running around. Just a wonderful experience.” Martin, chief operator of wastewater treatment for First Utility District and team captain of FUD’s “Fuddy Duddy” 2012 dragon boat team, added, “My daughter had her face painted and my son ran around here chasing ducks. And they had arts and crafts, so they enjoyed it.”
“Fuddy Duddy” will compete among 59 teams, including defending champion Rick Cox Construction’s “Dawn Treaders,” of Harriman and three out-of-state teams, during the 10th Annual KARM event Saturday, June 23, on Fort Loudoun Lake at The Cove in Concord Park. Racing begins at 8:30 a.m. Final heats are tentatively set for 2:30 p.m. Team member April Cansler, who also is back after competing last year, said 2011 “was a lot more fun than we thought. We were kind of intimidated before we came, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. We had a good time with all the employees. “The festival was a lot larger event than we thought it was going to be,” Cansler added. “I had never been to it before. There was a lot of children’s activities, and for the families. A lot of people here. “I have a 2-year-old named Ezra, and there was a See DRAGON BOAT on Page 10B

A cold shoulder the facilitator in the Admiral Farragut monument controversy said he received attempting to contact Knox County law director’s office, and Daughters of the American Revolution’s Bonny Kate chapter-reportedly on board to move the monument to county property-appear to give this dispute some clarity.
It’s less a matter of location disagreements and more a matter of ownership rights. But the mystery of locating and communicating with Bonny Kate’s attorney has more than one side scratching its head. Still unresolved are matters leading to the reappearance, and eventual home, of a turn-of-thecentury marker dedicated to Adm. James David Glasgow See MONUMENT on Page 10B

As judged by more than 100 Farragut area children having signed up for 7th Annual Movers and Shakers Club, it’s “cool” to exercise this summer. An annual town of Farragut program to promote fitness during the summer for kindergarten through high school youth — free of charge — Movers and Shakers promoters offer a new
incentive this summer: an ice skating party at Cool Sports, Home of the Icearium. For children completing Levels 3 and 4 — the program’s top levels with 39 hours (L3) or 52 hours (L4) of exercise completed and charted after completing any combination of running, walking, rollerblading, roller skating, ice skating, bicycling and swimming laps — a free Cool Sports ice skating party awaits from noon to 2 p.m.,
Monday, Aug. 13. “They’re really excited about getting to go to Cool Sports” if they complete the Level 3 or 4, said Lauren Cox, Farragut’s program and special events coordinator. At the party, each child’s name “will be put into a drawing, it will be a random drawing,” with the name drawn winning “a pass to Wilderness at the Smokies, which See MOVERS on Page 6B

is the indoor water park in Sevierville,” Cox said. For Level 4, children also get a backpack. For completing Level 3, children get a water bottle. Through mid-June, participation in 2012 is way up according to Cox. “We had 111 signed up,” she said. “Most of the ones participating this year are elementary age, five- to nine-year-olds.” Though the club’s exercise period began May 14, it’s not too late to join. Deadline is Friday, June 29. Club’s exercise period ends Friday, Aug. 3. A registration form is be available at www.townoffarragut.org/FormCenter or a printed form can be completed at Farragut Town Hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive. Once registered, each youth receives an informational packet that includes a complete information sheet about the program, an exercise time chart, a Farragut parks and greenways map, exercise safety tips and stickers. Packets will be mailed to students who register online. Points are granted through “an honor system” of taking the word
of a child that they exercise, as noted on the time chart of daily activity required by the Town. “For every 30 minutes of activity that they do, they put a sticker on there,” Cox said. In addition to running, “There’s a letter to parents telling them what is acceptable activity,” Cox said. “Playing in the swimming pool is not acceptable. Swimming laps for a summer swim team, that would count. “Riding your bike on the greenway would count,” Cox added. “Rollerblading, going to Cool Sports and ice skating. … Just playing doesn’t count.” Swimming “will be our No. 1 [activity], we have a lot that are on swim teams,” Cox said. “Also, there’s a lot of track and field that goes on in the summer. And then there are a lot of camps. And at camps, if they are doing, like, basketball camps and they’re running hard and stuff, we count that.” For completing Level 2, “That’s 26 hours,” Cox said. “That will get you a waterproof container.” If completing Level 1, “That’s 13 hours of activity,” Cox said. “That gets you a certificate to McDonalds for their yogurt parfait.”

The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer’s Memory Care Center of Excellence completes the 10-acre senior care complex in Lenoir City. Radel The opening of the $5 million complex means 40 more apartments for seniors with Alzheimer’s and other memory care disorders. “We at Morning Pointe are committed to offering choices in care for this growing population,” said Greg A. Vital, founder and CEO of Morning Pointe and IHP. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, one out of every eight older Americans is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The Lantern Alzheimer’s and Memory Care Center of Excellence is a 33,000-squarefoot building specially constructed and designed for seniors with Alzheimer’s and other memory care disorders. Carefully selected and themed life enrichment areas depicting nostalgic scenes of the past, along with countless photographs capturing the history of Lenoir City and Loudon County, add to Morning Pointe’s specially developed “Meaningful Day” programming.
Morning Pointe has selected Shannon Radel as the assistant executive director for the Lantern at Morning Pointe. Radel has her master’s degree in social work management and community practice along with a Bachelor of Science, in community health education and psychology. She previously worked as administrator of residential and educational services at Florence Crittenton, Knoxville and as a behavioral health manager at The Bridge at Rockwood Nursing Community in Rockwood. “Ms. Radel brings the knowledge, expertise and the specific skills necessary to execute quality leadership and direction in our new Alzheimer’s Memory Care community,” said Suzanne Foster, senior vice president of operations for Morning Pointe. “We are excited to have her on board in her role as the assistant executive director of The Lantern at Morning Pointe of Lenoir City.” Located off of Town Creek Road East on Morning Pointe Drive, adjacent to Fort Loudoun Medical Center, Morning Pointe of Lenoir City Senior Campus is situated near medical services, shopping and other support networks. Together the assisted living and Alzheimer’s Memory Care Communities employ about 50 full-time staff. The newly completed Lantern will provide a positive economic impact of more than $8 million annually considering payroll, property taxes and the local purchase of goods and services.

“I spoke to one of the deputy law directors [Daniel Sanders]; I didn’t feel like there was a great deal of cooperation there,” she said. Repeated attempts by farragutpress to reach Sanders or any Bonny Kate representative have failed. “Mr. Sanders said he spoke to the DAR’s attorney,” Rosseel said, but added Sanders did not divulge any contact information or a name. Jonathan Griswold, Mayor’s office community outreach manager, said he went “several months ago and made that appeal to the DAR membership at a little Methodist church downtown where they meet, and they voted unanimously for the county to house it … over at Admiral Farragut Park.” Worthington said Fitzgerald “is seeking to work out a deed of gift with respect to the monument, and she has been working primarily with Knox County,” adding Fitzgerald “wants her privacy because she has been subjected to trespassers and vandals.” Rosseel said, “There’s always a concern that if you’re in the process of deeding something, that if a third party is trying to sue over that, I think there’s a certain hesitation to proceed.” Admiral Farragut Park “as a location would be acceptable,” Worthington said. “If the town of Farragut receives the monument, then the proposal for locating it in the town center would be acceptable.” Worthington said about the County, “All I can say is that Mayor Burchett has said it is tied up in bureaucracy. I have not talked to Mayor Burchett.” Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill and Town Administrator David Smoak both said the Town would be interested in possibly acquiring the monument — but only if the County can’t work out an arrangement.
Monument From page 2B
Farragut. The monument went missing last fall from its 111-year home near what is considered his birthplace at Stoney Point Farm in Blue Grass along Fort Loudoun Lake, owned by Lylan Fitzgerald. “I think there are two snags right now: one is the DAR,” said facilitator Tom Rosseel about DAR’s Bonny Kate Chapter, adding this chapter “has been hinting at filing a lawsuit” against Fitzgerald — whose attorney Carole Worthington, said the monument can be delivered “when arrangements are made” — claiming ownership of the monument its DAR chapter dedicated in 1900. Rosseel said he had a brief conversation with Nancy Cantrell, Bonny Kate regent, but Cantrell “would not reveal [the attorney’s] name to me. … It was clear she did not want to speak to me at any length.” Worthington echoed those frustrations. “I do not understand why the DAR or their attorney has not opened a dialogue with us,” she said. “I have tried. Other people on behalf of Mrs. Fitzgerald have tried.” Rosseel said the other snag “is Knox County, they’re not all on the same page. The County Mayor’s office says one thing and the County law department says something quite different. “I hesitate to state too much except that Mayor [Tim] Burchett seems very interested in getting the monument to be placed in Admiral Farragut Park for public display,” he added. However, “The law department seems to be less disposed towards signing a deed of gift,” Rosseel said about what Fitzgerald is seeking according to Worthington, which would include language guaranteeing the monument be located well off her property.

bouncy house he got to jump in. We also had a cookout for our company.” About competing in FUD’s first-ever dragon boat event, Martin said, “We were in shock last year. It’s not how strong you are, you’ve got to be on the same page” with your teammates. For this year, Martin said “most everybody’s back” from last year’s “Fuddy Duddy” team “except four or five. The majority of them are First Utility District employees.” With a year's worth of seasoning, “Everybody knows what to expect now,” Martin said. “Everybody's got their feet wet in it, knows the operation.” Each race, which features four teams racing in 46-foot long boats, is 250 meters in length. “We’re up 13 teams over last year,” said Penny Behling, race organizer and co-owner (with husband, Chris) of Dynamic Dragon Boat Racing, LLC, in Knoxville, who owns all eight dragon boats to be used. “We’re really happy with the turnout.” Also returning is last year’s No. 2 finisher Team SoNo, a community team. Teams are comprised of “20 paddlers, a drummer … and we provide the steer person,” Behling said. “And then they can have three alternates.” Annually a co-ed event, KARM Dragon Boat rules require “a

minimum of eight female paddlers” in each race, Behling said. One overall key to success: “You want to paddle as close to the dragon boat as you possibly can and push water behind them,” Behling said. Each team is allotted one 90minute on-site practice session, which took place June 15-22. With team registration fee
($650 to $800) going to KARM, its goal to raise $187,000 “would provide 100,000 meals for KARM,” Behling said. “We have about 125 volunteers.” Other prizes awarded are for Best Team Name, Most Team Spirit, Best Dressed Drummer, Best Tent Decoration and Best Tshirt plus prizes for top three individual and team fundraisers.

RN who’s also been a successful Farragut businesswoman and long-time volunteer at Farragut Folklife Museum under Owens, then FFM director, where Jones attained the rank of “admiral” having served more than 3,000 hours. Keys to longevity? “To do what you think is right, and to keep on working,” Jones said. “Never waste time doing nothing. I exercise a lot. I walked probably a mile a day forever. And I play bridge once a week at three different bridge clubs.” As for genetics, Jones pointed to “my mother’s side.” Jones said her mother, Jennie DeBusk, lived to age 99. “She never slowed down,” added Jones, who moved to an assisted living facility last December. “She was always out walking when she lived with me.” “I gave my car away when I was 90,” Jones said. “That’s the worst thing that could happen, really, but I thought at 90 I had no business out there driving.” However, “I was still able, there wasn’t a thing wrong with me,” she added. “I gave my car to my grandson, John Conover Jones.” Jones has one son, Gilbert Guy Jones III, and John plus two other grandchildren, who live in North Carolina. Other than taking “a multivitamin daily,” Jones said there are no dietary longevity secrets. “I just eat a normal diet.” Saying she started smoking “in my late 20s” before quitting “a

long time ago,” Jones added, “I’d smoke two months and quit for a few weeks or months. … And then somebody would say, ‘well have a smoke with us,’ and I would and then I’d smoke for like three months.” Stopping for long periods “wasn’t hard for me. I did
not what you’d call inhale. But I inhaled a little.” In addition to her former smoking habits, Jones beats the odds in another way. “If there’s anything to be won like the lottery or if you're sitting in the right seat at one of our banquets where they
drew numbers, had a number under your plate, Roberta would win it,” Owens said. “She is the luckiest person. We always teased her about it.” Having recently attended Farragut High School’s annual Grand Reunion, “I’m the only one
left in my class,” Jones said about her Class of 1941. Jones “is one of our newest members of our DAR [Samuel Frazier] Chapter. ... We figured out her ancestors that went back to the Revolutionary War.,” Owens said.
