Farragut will host its annual Independence Day Wednesday, July 4 with special guest and grand marshal Gene Patterson. “The Independence Day Parade is one of the highlights of the year in the town of Farragut. We hope the community will grab their chairs and coolers and join us along Kingston Pike for this fun celebration of our nation’s freedom,” said Town spokesperson Chelsey Riemann. The parade will begin at 9:30 a.m. and progress along Kingston Pike from Lyndon Welch Way (at

FARRAGUT, TENNESSEE

the Farragut High School entrance) and continue to Boring Road, near the old Ingles store site. Kingston Pike will be closed to all traffic from Concord Road to Boring Road from 8:30 a.m. to about noon. WATE-TV anchor Gene Patterson will be the parade’s grand marshal. “The Parks and Athletics Council picks the grand marshal every year ... and they normally try to pick a local celebrity. Gene has been in the community for a long time and with Channel 6 for a long time, so they wanted to invite him, and he graciously

accepted,” Riemann said. Parade entrants will include the Farragut High School marching band as well as other area schools, churches, businesses and community and civic organizations. They’ll process down the Pike in floats and antique cars. One unusual parade entry will be RiverView Family Farm, pulling a “cow train.” According to Riemann, the train will be a lawn mower pulling eight barrels, with a child riding in each barrel. Other entrants include Miss Knoxville Teen Princess Kerrington Grabill, Women Marines Association, American

Arguments on both sides of the “annex Concord” coin boiled down to the importance of history during a Concord Residents’ Association meeting Monday night, June 18, held in response to Farragut’s announced plans to annex Old Concord. Residents attended the meeting, held at Concord Presbyterian Church, to learn more about Farragut’s annexation plans, which include portions of the historic village that are part of a Knox County historic overlay. “We are not required to do a referendum. [But] we’re not going to force anything down anyone’s throats,” Mayor Ralph McGill said. Old Concord lies within Farragut’s urban growth boundary, an agreed-upon area in which Farragut can annex without contestation from Knox County or City of Knoxville.

Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill addresses citizens of the Village of Concord concerning the town of Farragut annexing the area at a meeting June 18 at Concord Presbyterian Church.

Concord residents, however, seemed largely opposed to the idea. “I feel there’s something else that hasn’t been spoken,” said Robert Switzer, one of many to point out Farragut couldn’t offer residents of Old Concord anything they didn’t already have. Police and fire protection would remain unchanged, as would school zoning. Concord already has protection, development-wise, through a historic overlay from Knox County’s historic zoning commission. Residents already shop in Farragut, use Farragut parks and

greenways. Many are involved as volunteers at Town Hall. In regards to service, basically nothing would change, residents said. “Some of this [benefit] is a little nebulous, but you know it when you see it,” McGill said. Residents’ next question was, why is Farragut interested in annexing Concord? “We’d be able to say we have history in our Town,” McGill said, adding he wanted to preserve the historic nature of the village. One woman countered that See CONCORD on Page 5A

As a handful of Farragut and West Knox County business owners react to town of Farragut’s proposed “business registration” ordinance, the Town is redefining language in its ordinance no longer requiring businesses located outside of Town limits to comply with such registration. West Knoxville businessmen Damon Falconnier, owner of Falconnier Design Company, and Steve Williams, owner of Patriot’s Corner, spoke in opposition of the ordinance — originally requiring any company, contractor or individual businessperson doing business in the town of Farragut to register annually with the Town — during Board of Mayor and Aldermen’s April 26 meeting. “I think I was a mouthpiece among a couple of other people who have stepped forward,” said Falconnier, whose architectural firm is located outside Farragut. The ordinance passed first reading April 12 (3-0 vote, with Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche and Alderman Ron Honken absent). However, after Falconnier and Williams spoke out during Citizens Forum, it was deferred April 26 because “we’re definitely changing some things in the

ordinance,” said David Smoak, Town administrator. “The main thing that we’re going back and looking at right now is to only require this for businesses that have a physical presence in the Town of Farragut,” Smoak added. As for being outspoken, Falconnier said, “I guess my feeling is that it would have probably passed that night” if he and Williams hadn’t spoken. Among his problems with the ordinance, Falconnier said, “It’s very vague. It doesn’t really let you know, OK, if you do business [in Farragut] does you your office have to be located in Farragut? “It’s not clear at all what the parameters are.” Businesses would have 90 days from the time the ordinance was enacted to register without paying a $15 fee. Jerry Godolphin, owner of Godolphin Photography out of his Midhurst Drive home in Farragut, said he “hates to be managed. I’ve had free enterprise here for 34 years.” “Even if I didn’t have to pay anything because that is the first step,” Godolphin added. “Then you add the taxes later.” Mary Henry, a Farragut businesswoman for 29 years and See BUSINESS on Page 5A

guestview: community center funding In 2011, the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen identified a community center as one of the top priorities in the town of Farragut Strategic Plan 2025. The citizens of Farragut then David echoed a Smoak communiFarragut ty center Town as a prioriAdministrator ty at a community forum held on April 30 at Town Hall. With a community center identified as a priority, the town of Farragut must now outline possible ways that it can grow from an idea into a reality. The Town, through conservative budgeting practices, has been fortunate to pay cash for its large capital projects and has held no debt since 2001. Past projects have required the Town to carry short-term debt, including construction of Town Hall, land purchases, road improvement projects (Campbell Station, Grigsby Chapel and Smith roads), and the installation of traffic signals at the I-40/75 ramp. When considering funding options for a community center, the Town has two viable options. First, we could designate money from the budget over the next eight years and then proceed with construction

of the center once the funds are in place. The second option would allow the Town to build a community center sooner, and to do this, the Town would need to issue general obligation bonds. The potential benefits of this option to the town of Farragut include capitalizing on the current historic low interest rates and lower construction costs due to the state of the economy. The savings from building now rather than several years in the future could mitigate some of the interest cost on the debt. In addition to the construction funding, the Town also will need to determine an ongoing revenue source for operations and staffing. Regardless of how FBMA and Farragut citizens decide to move forward with the addition of a community center, the Town will continue, as it has since its incorporation, to use a conservative budget approach when estimating revenues and expenditures. We also will continue to ensure we maintain our current savings account, or rainy day fund, of at least 30 percent of expenditures. I encourage you, our citizens, to share your input with FBMA and Town staff regarding funding options for a community center. You can reach us by calling the Town Hall at 865966-7057 or sharing your opinions via Community Voice at townoffarragut.org (link located directly on the homepage). Your input is vital if the residents of Farragut want to make this priority a reality.

letterstotheeditor Taxpayers beware I am having a very difficult time reconciling myself to the concept of a business owner inviting governmental intrusion into their business. I am referring to the proposed “one time” $15 fee to register your business with the town of Farragut. One of the reasons given by a Farragut business owner (and the Town) in a recent published interview was that the government could then identify all the businesses in the Town and thereby be in a position to help those they were not aware of. Really. Pardon me but I was always taught that one of the big lies was, “I’m from the government

and I am here to help.” Actually, it is not a lie at all; it is the truth and particularly in this case. When the town of Farragut came into existence the purpose was, in my mind, to further define the area as an upscale neighborhood like Buckhead, Germantown or Franklin and promote itself as such. I won’t judge whether those goals have materialized, but I will say that the Town has done what every other government known to man has done, it has grown and continually spread its roots through the community with regulation and at some point I feel certain, taxation. I have become ever leery of the Town not only because of

plaque like that or if there was someone we could ask. I was just kind of interested in seeing it if there was something like that around over there. Thanks very much. • After all the hoopla about de-funding the [Knoxville Area Transit] Farragut Express bus service and using those funds to support the Hardin Valley Academy Education Foundation,

Moreover, have they observed nothing of the world they are living in? … Asking who wants to spend money we don’t have is the question strayed from but the very question that should be asked. My advice is that any

I tried to learn something about that organization but couldn’t find any evidence that exists. If it doesn’t, how can the Board of Mayor and Aldermen vote to donate money to a non-existent organization? I also want to know if [any member of Town government] has any affiliation with this yet-to-be-incorporated, “shadow organization?” If [they] do, isn’t this a clear violation of

state ethics law because those funds would be a direct benefit to [their] family? The citizens of Farragut deserve answers to these questions before our tax money is given away!

time you hear a politician talking about making investments in our future, beware. … Beware citizens of Farragut. Once the borrowing starts, that benign list of businesses that have been helped by the Town will get a visit from the tax collector and the one time fee will become a permanent annual addition and the $15 will become whatever they want it to be. … Be very wary, indeed. Bill Daugherty Knox County

owner of Apple Cake Tea Room and Gift Shop, 11312 Station West Road, said she hadn’t “read enough about it to understand it.” However, “I would be very curious if they would do that,” she added. Michael Broyles, owner of Michael Broyles Photography, 12748 Kingston Pike Suite 106, said he was not familiar with details of the ordinance but would be “very much in favor” of any mechanism that would help uncover home-owned businesses not paying proper taxes. One exception, as written in the original ordinance and expected to remain according to Smoak, would be vendors doing business in “booths” such as those at The Turkey Creek Public Market. They would be required to register as a Town business would — same 90-day period — or pay a $1 per day fee. In addition to non-profit exemptions, “Lemonade stands and kids mowing lawns and stuff like that; if they are a very minor

To those who destroyed my mailbox: Shortly after 10 p.m., last Friday, June 22, two vehicles entered Smithfield subdivision and parked on Kittredge Court. Although the car lights were off, a neighbor observed you spending a few minutes apparently discussing which mailbox to hit. You must have chosen mine because I’m the last box in Smithfield and my location allowed you to make an easy escape. I do not know what devices you used, but you were completely successful in destroying my heavy metal mailbox. On Saturday morning Kittredge Court was littered with metal fragments. Fortunately I can afford to replace the mailbox; however, I can think of many better uses for the $400. Your mischief puzzles me. By little more than an accident of birth you are privileged to live in the greatest nation on earth. I suspect that you live in a wonderful community known as Farragut. You probably didn’t buy and pay for the cars you were in or the gasoline in the tank, yet you had nothing better to do than blow up my mailbox — shame on you. I’ll close with this observation — please stop this foolishness — it’s dangerous. Not only could you get hurt; worse still, you could injure an innocent third party. Jack B. Draper Farragut Putting pencil to paper This week’s (June 14) presstalk starts with a ringer. It sounds like it was either submitted by David Smoak, Ron Honken, a developer or municipal planning consultant. Giving credit where due, it is professionally written using all the prerequisite buzz words these people are never without. It appears that too much movement towards making use of former food stores for a community center was detected by the unlimited spending coalition and a counter attack was needed. Note the negative descriptive wording: “an abandoned grocery store ... , limited capacity and function ... , poorly conceived adaptive reuse of a low end retail building ... , diminish the attractiveness of the downtown area.” And what’s all this “we” stuff? Who are we? I think anyone who can write a professional piece like that should be willing to identify him/herself. As Alderman Bob Markli reportedly said during the infamous First Amendment attack by BOMA, “presstalk comments couldn’t be taken seriously because they had unknown origin.” This caller also should be willing to put pencil to the paper and develop an honest, serious look at an alternate plan to his (it’s not my money) plan reflecting the wishes of many in the community. All of the proposed existing sites have suitable locations, some better than others, but with parking and a core building that many architects would find exciting to transform into an attractive community center with new interiors, landscaping and a new exterior design.

type of business then they don’t have to get any type of permit or license,” Smoak said. Current ordinance language not expected to change includes requiring new businesses, those locating within Town limits after the ordinance is enacted, to pay the one-time $15 fee. Business owners with more than one business location in Town limits would be required to register each business or location. As for the revised ordinance, “We’ll try to get it to the Board here either [in late June] if we can get it in good shape, or it’ll be a couple of weeks after that,” Smoak said. “The main reason we’re doing this is trying to assist the business and support them because we just don’t know who they are right now” Smoak added. “We don’t have a really good, accurate reflection of the types of businesses and the number of businesses in our community.”

Concord From page 1A

Farragut did nothing to preserve an old home on the Costco property. McGill said he hadn’t known it was there. Preservation of Concord’s streets, homes and history clearly is important to the residents of the historic village. Carole Montgomery, a resident and member of Knox County’s historic zoning commission, said the overlay already protected the village. McGill said those overlays were abused from time to time. He and Town administrator David Smoak said, if Farragut did annex, the Town would initiate a similar historic zoning commission and enact a similar overlay. Neither could offer specifics about

presstalk 671-TALK (8255)

how that would be set up, saying this was the first discussion of hopefully many. “Preservation is the main reason we would want to annex,” Smoak said. McGill denied the Town had economic interest in Concord, claiming the Town would receive only about $20,000 in stateshared sales tax revenues from Concord per year, calculated by population. McGill said, “If you don’t want to be annexed, we will not annex. I can’t make that any clearer.” Town administrator David Smoak added that McGill’s vote was only one on a five-member Board of Mayor and Aldermen, and that no one could promise how the rest of the Board would vote.

For Julie Morris, it’s all about promises. Morris — who just launched her marketing, advertising, branding and public relations firm — is promising to be the “bombdiggity.” Bombdiggity, the name of the Farragut-area Morris’s business, is defined by Urban Dictionary as “awesomeness in its purest form,” and Morris said it’s a branding promise she’s making to her clients. “Talk about a brand promise — in the name alone, I’ve said I’m the bombdiggity. I use it as an example,” Morris said. Branding is all about what a business promises to its customers and that’s one of Morris’s

Julie Morris

focuses in her new business. “Branding is one of those things that oftentimes companies forget to do, but it’s really the core of all of those other

things you build on. Every business has a brand: it’s what you promise your customer, whether you realize you have one or not,” Morris said. “So I kind of help somebody figure out what they want to promise their customer, or what they’re currently promising their customer, and help them live up to that. That’s what builds a successful business,” she added. For example, Morris said she encouraged client SmartBank to live up to the “smart” in its name. But back to her own business name, “It’s a good energy, a good positive word, and it kind of describes me, I think.” Morris said she has experience in not only branding, but also marketing, advertising and public relations, and can offer her clients a one-stop shop for those

services. “I have that big picture for my clients that pulls it all together,” she said. Morris has worked with WBIR on its “Straight From the Heart” campaign, as well as with The Super Bowl; Lattimore, Black, Morgan and Cain and others. “I’ve had a lot of breadth in my experience and that’s been a fun ride,” Morris said. “I’ve worked for big companies and I wanted to be the small guy doing great work and really loving what I do,” she added. Staying in the area was important to her. “Farragut is home to me. I raised my kids here; two of my three kids went to Farragut High School,” Morris said.

importance of networking — something the Farragut West Knox Chamber is famous for. “I’ve always come to each job I’ve had through a networking process so I’m a big believer in networking. It works well,” she said. In fact, Lester found out about the Farragut Chamber position through networking. “Networking has always been a big part of everything I’ve done,” Lester said. “The way it all came together is very, very neat,” she added.

Nicky Delmonico certainly is enjoying his first full season of professional baseball. Delmonico, the 2011 Farragut High School graduate who’s now rated as the No. 6 prospect in the Baltimore Orioles organization by Baseball America, recently won Most Valuable Player honors in South Atlantic Delmonico League (Class A) All-Star Game at Riley Park in Charleston, S.C. Delmonico, a second baseman for the Delmarva Shorebirds, went 2-for-4 and scored a pair of runs to lead the South Atlantic League North Division All-Stars to a 3-2 victory over the South Division’s All-Star squad Tuesday, June 19. “It was awesome,” Delmonico said of his all-star experience. “It’s a reward for all of my hard work. “The fans there were awesome. A lot of my friends and family came to see me down there at the all-star game. And you knew that with every at-bat that you were going to see a good pitcher.” Delmonico, who began the 2012 campaign as a first baseman, is one of Delmarva’s top offensive weapons. He entered last week hitting .256. He’s socked six home runs. As of late June Delmonico led the Shorebirds in hits, doubles, total bases and runs batted in. Despite some early success, he hasn’t forgotten how privileged he is to make a living on the diamond. “There’s some stuff that I miss [about Knoxville] but I’m blessed to be able to play baseball for a living,” said Delmonico, who led the Admirals to a fourth consecutive Class AAA State Championship

during his senior season in 2011. “It really is a blessing to play baseball for a living. During his high school career, Delmonico terrorized opposing pitchers and said that the transition to facing professional pitching wasn’t quite as difficult as he expected. “I love [hitting] it,” he said of South Atlantic League pitching. “It’s one of those things that’s not quite what you expect.” Delmonico hails from a baseball family and is the youngest of three brothers to star on the diamond for Farragut High School. Tony, the eldest of the Delmonico brothers, played at

Tennessee and Florida State and recently was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Joey plays for the University of Georgia. Rod, the family patriarch, was a longtime head coach at The University of Tennessee. Nicky said that he leans heavily upon his family. “Tony is kind of busy right now,” Nicky said. “But me and my dad talk every day and I also talk to Joey a lot. “It’s a big baseball family and I [also] talk to my mom almost every day.” When Nicky calls Rod or Joey, baseball’s not always on his mind.

“Sometimes, I talk to my dad and Joey about baseball. But other times, we just get away from it and talk about life,” Nicky said. Delmonico has obviously made a splash during his brief pro career. He’s impressed the Orioles front office. While in spring training, Delmonico was on the Major League roster for five preseason games. “I was called up for five big league spring training games,” he said. “That was a great experience. I got to see just how hard those guys [Major Leaguers] work.”

FHS duo, Breazeale, Clifton chosen for ‘Showcase’

KEN LAY Correspondent

Four area high School baseball players recently were selected to play in upcoming East Coast Pro Showcase in Syracuse, N.Y. Farragut players Nick Senzel and Kyle Serrano will be joined by Knoxville Catholic catcher Ben Breazeale and Heritage High School pitching ace Trevor Clifton in the event, which begins Aug. 1 in upstate New York. Senzel and Serrano helped lead the Admirals to the District

4-AAA regular-season and tournament championships and another Class AAA state tournament appearance. Senzel Breazeale was a team leader for a young Irish squad in 2012. Clifton was one of the top pitchers in Tennessee’s most competitive Class AAA district. This East Tennessee quartet will compete with the best ris-

ing senior prospects in the country at the four-day event. And these District 4-AAA rivals are looking forward to playing together. “It’s a great opportunity to get a chance to play with [Serrano, Senzel and Clifton],” Breazeale said. “You get to see another side of them. It’s nice to get a chance to play with some guys that you’ve never played with. “We’ve played against each other and it’s great to be one of the select few to get to play in this. It’s a great honor to be selected.” Serrano, who battled injuries

during 2012, his first season with Farragut, said the competition in Syracuse will be stiff. “I’m looking forward Serrano to playing against some good competition and getting some exposure with some teams and scouts,” he said. “It’s good to have the guys from here going up there with See SHOWCASE on Page 2B

Rodgers ‘over hump,’ FDCC Sr. Club champ

Ben Breazeale, Knoxville Catholic catcher, in action during his junior year last spring

A short par putt on No. 2 hole of sudden death allowed Bryan Rodgers, left with his trophy, to edge defending champ Greg McGraw and win Fox Den Country Club Sr. Club championship Sunday, June 24. Though a three-time FDCC President’s Cup champ, Rodgers was 0-4 in sudden death club title matches before Sunday. Trailing Rodgers by seven strokes after firstround play Saturday (71 versus 78), McGraw fired a 69 Sunday versus Rodgers’ 76 and nailed a 10-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to force sudden death.

me. “It’s going to be fun to go up there and play. We’re going to go up and play baseball and we’re going to have a lot of fun. It’s truly an honor to be selected.” Serrano, Senzel, Clifton and Breazeale were invited to a showcase in Ohio. At least one was surprised to hear that he made the team. “I went to Ohio and I thought we were playing in a showcase,” Clifton said. “I was surprised when I got the phone call telling me that I had made a team. “I had no idea that we were trying out for something like this.” Unlike Clifton, Senzel knew he was auditioning. “We tried out in Dayton, Ohio,” he said. “When I tried out, there were a lot of scouts there and I was really excited.” He’s excited to be heading to Syracuse.

“This is a great opportunity for me,” Senzel said. “I’m looking forward to getting this recruiting process going. I’m keeping my options open. “Hopefully, we’ll all do well.” Breazeale also knew what was at stake. “When I got the call, I was super pumped,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to go up there and play.” For these players, baseball will be the top priority in Upstate New York, but they’re also looking forward to the trip. “I’ve been to New York City once and I’ve been to Cooperstown [home of the Baseball Hall of Fame] and that was awesome,” Breazeale said. “I’m looking forward to going to Syracuse. I’m looking forward to seeing what the culture has to offer and meeting the people there.” Clifton said he’s “hoping to meet people and establish relationships. ... Hopefully, I can learn something from the guys at Farragut.”

Positive ‘reactions’ For elementary school pair at first HVA STEM camp

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Jordan Parker and Will Feldmen, 10-year-old rising fifth-grade students at Hardin Valley Elementary School, have a special interest in science and math. Chemical reactions made an impression. “I really enjoyed all of the chemical reactions that we were doing in the lab, when [the instructor] lit stuff on fire and used the chemicals to make really cool stuff,” said Will, who along with Jordan were two of 40 children, grades first through sixth, enjoying inaugural Hardin Valley Academy Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Camp last week. “And when she lit the metal on fire to make really cool colors,” Will added about Science Day Monday, June 18, part of a 20-hour effort to make math and science fun through hands-on activities, that ran Monday morning through Friday morning, June 1822, at HVA. Also enjoying chemical reactions during Monday’s Science Day, Jordan said his favorite camp activity was “doing the experiments and seeing what would happen, seeing the chemical reactions.”

Sam Feldman, Will’s older brother, is a rising HVA sophomore in the STEM Academy among roughly 55 HVA student volunteers, alumni and parents — in addition to about 30 school faculty and staff plus two elementary school teachers and three science professionals — to run the camp. “It seemed like a really good way to help kids learn more about science and help them get interested in doing more stuff with science once they got into high school,” Sam, 15, said. As for little brother, “I help him understand some of the chemical reactions that he’s been shown,” Sam added. Will and Jordan both assisted Robert Palmer, president of Ingenutec, LLC in Oak Ridge, in building a hovercraft out of plywood, heavy plastic wrapping and use of a vacuum to create a cushion of air during Wednesday morning’s Engineering Day. “When we got to ride on that hovercraft, we had a lot of fun,” Will said about the homemade hovercraft coming off the classroom floor a couple of inches while he was riding it, as all other fifth-and sixthgraders took their turn riding on air. See HVA STEM on Page 4B

Going back about 10 years, it’s clear why Abbie Odom and Rachel Duffy are more than eager to help run Farragut High School’s Annual Cheerleading Duffy Camp. “I remember when the camp was actually held at [Farragut] Middle School, and I remember just like, looking up to those cheerleaders thinking they were so cool,” said Duffy, an FHS ris-

ing junior and Admirals varsity cheerleader, about her first FHS camp experience at age 6. “I always wanted to be them.” “It’s really cool to actually be one now.” Duffy and Odom, also a rising junior, are among 18 FHS varsity cheerleaders who will run the annual Odom camp from 6 to 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday, July 9-12, in the school’s Commons for ages 5-11. Registration is 5:30 See CHEER on Page 6B

Ten months in Farragut resulted in nearly 1,500 pounds of refuse being removed from Turkey Creek and more than 2,700 pounds of trash being recycled from Town Hall and at special events. So said Josh Cunningham, Farragut’s first Americorps volunteer, who’s spent 10 months in Town Hall promoting economic responsibility and water quality. Cunningham served as water quality assistant under Jason Scott, the Town’s stormwater coordinator, who happens to be an Americorps alum. “My baby in the entirety of this has been Turkey Creek,” Cunningham told Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen

Josh Cunningham, the Town’s first Americorps volunteer, spent 10 months working with Farragut’s stormwater program.

Thursday, June 14. Cunningham primarily was tasked with mapping stormwater inlets to the area’s water system — namely storm drains — in one quadrant of Farragut. He completed the mapping for

the entire 16-square mile Town. “He was really good at it,” said Town engineer Darryl Smith. All in all, Cunningham inspected and mapped 3,387 drains. He See AMERICORPS on Page 9B

LZR7 Allergy Relief Laser Treatment Making allergens a thing of the past for a healthier way of life.

Above: Sophie Thompson, 6, finishes off a practice run with her hovercraft, in which each HVA STEM Camp first- and second-grade participant used a CD and balloon to create their hovercraft and it’s “float-on-air” features. Assisting Sophie is Elizabeth Chambers, a rising HVA sophomore in Liberal Arts Academy.

HVA Stem From page 3B

In reference to Palmer cutting out the hovercraft’s shape and various features with power tools in front of the campers, “I learned about how you have to have a man to build something first before you [use] it,” Will added. “The hovercraft can carry very

heavy objects over water and over land,” Jordan said. Other camp science and math activities included math/science computer games during Tuesday’s Technology Day, plus Friday’s Health Science Day featuring exploration into forensics, dissecting a sheep’s eye and learning safety tips and first aid courtesy of Karns Fire Department.

We all know the symptoms – a runny nose, puffy and watery eyes, headache, congestion – allergies, they affect most of us. And did you know East Tennessee is one of the worst locations in the United States for allergy sufferers? Until now the tests to determine allergies have been associated with painful scratch test, allergy shots and countless prescription and over the counter medications. All that has now changed with LZR7 Allergy Relief Laser Treatment available only by Pamela Bull of 3D Laser Allergy Relief located at 11416 Grigsby Chapel Road, Suite 101 in Farragut. This laser actually retrains the body to react normally to allergens by exposing the patient to a digitized allergens. Once exposed to the digitized allergen the one-of-akind induction laser stimulates very specific nerve bundles and educates the body so it can react normally to any future exposure to the actual allergen. Using the LZR7 laser the allergens are identified. Treatment is quick, painless and, most importantly effective. Patient satisfaction rate is an astounding 88 – 90%. Some of the patients already treated by Pamela Bull using the LZR7 laser technology have been so moved by treatment effectiveness they have offered their advice: “After the 4th treatment I was able to eat almonds again and I am eating them several times a week with no problems at all” “I am able to mow my grass now without sneezing a single time. Before the treatments I would sneeze 15 to 20 times while I was mowing.” Many patients may suffer from other physical complications caused by food allergies or digestive issues. The LZR7 laser treatment can identify the specific allergies. “Once the body is introduced and balanced to the specific allergen it can deal with it.” said owner Pamela Bull. “This causes many related symptoms to sub-

side or go away.” “The LZR7 Laser actually balances the nervous system and the immune system and helps the body move itself to a healthier state.” adds Bull, “And the LZR7 balancing is completely safe for all ages. Children and their parents really like the fact this treatment is painless.” After suffering through years of allergies and its complications some patients find that any of the payment plans to be less than they were paying for traditional medication. Yet with this system its only a 13 visit protocol. A lot of people think you can take a allergy shot for food allergies. A shot for food allergies doesn’t exist. Patients have to just avoid the food. The LZR7 Laser balances the nervous system and the immune system to recognize the allergen and then moves the body to a healthier state of being. People wanting relief from the pain and suffering connected to allergies may find effective, painless and safe relief by making an appointment with Pamela Bull. She may be reached at 3D Laser Allergy Relief located at 11416 Grigsby Chapel Road, Suite 101 or by calling 865-705-4305. Visit her website at www.3dlaserallergyrelief.com for more information.

p.m., July 9, in the Commons. “When I was that age, of course I just really enjoyed it,” Duffy said. “But I guess when I got in high school is when I really started to, like, appreciate all the cheerleaders have to do to make the camps happen and make it go smoothly. I want to really, like, do my best to make other girls want to do it. “I'll be helping the 6-year-olds,” Duffy added. Odom recalled her first FHS cheer camp at age 5. “I wasn’t scared at all, I actually loved it,” she said. “And it was fun because all my friends did it, too. “I remember the instructor that I had, she was actually one of my coaches for, like, my tumbling class,” Odom added. “I went with a group of my closest friends. And it was just so exciting. It made my want to be, like, a leader or a role model one day. ... I wanted to be like the instructor. “I’m so glad that I can do it now for everybody else.”

Let us be your Small Business Partner!

Duffy and Odom, both 16, will be camp instructors for a third straight year. Odom said she’ll be in charge of “the 5-year-olds” for a third straight year. “I like working with the younger kids, teaching them new things,” she said. “You teach them a cheer and you teach them a routine that they perform on the last day when their parents come and watch. ... And we teach them fun little chants and dances.” Odom said she’s learned “to be very patient, and be the best role model you can be because every little girl is, like, watching you and looking up to you.” Duffy added, “We try to teach them basic cheerleading things like jumps and little things like cartwheels. And you really work on teamwork because that’s a big deal.” In addition, “The days are themed: we’ll have, like, a Beach Day and the kids will dress up in their favorite beachy outfit, like a hula skirt,” Odom said. “And then we have Uniform Day where they can wear their favorite uniform.”

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

HVA grads win major awards at ISEP international ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Fourth among 130 of the world’s top high school science minds in one category. And first in the minds of United States Army judges. Aspiring teenage engineers Andrew Messing and Philip Keller, Hardin Valley Academy Class of 2012 honor students and graduates, took home two major awards during ISEP international engineering “research/invention” poster project competition in Pittsburgh, Pa., May 11-14. The pair earned honors for their omni-directional track system, “a new type of drive system,” illustrating how to combine “two types of drive systems for superior control” and how it would work in motorized vehicles and machines. “We were awarded the Team Award from the United States Army,” Messing said. “They really liked our project … our project is something that could work on, like, a tank or a large number of vehicles that the Army uses. So they found it would be something they could use.” “It was kind of uplifting because we had been kind of discouraged because we hadn’t gotten any of the awards from any of the other judges that had come to see our project.” Overall, “There were over 1,500 students from 68 different countries,” Messing said. “Doing as well as we did was pretty amazing because [our] category, engineering/electrical-mechanical, had the most projects in it, over 130 projects. “It was probably one of the more difficult categories just because it had so many projects,” Messing added. “It was really awesome.” “When you go just down the aisles you see all these amazing projects, some of which are, like, so amazing you would never think of them, but they’re, like, really cool. So amazing that high school students would be able to come up with something like this.”

Westside Unitarian Universalist Church Sunday Services 11 a.m.

As a result, “I definitely was sort of intimidated by some of the projects,” Messing said. Keller said he was “a little bit intimidated on some of them that were, like, really fancy.” As for practical applications of their omni-directional concepts, “This summer Philip and I are working full time at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. … It’s like a summer internship,” Messing said. “We work at Oak Ridge’s newest facility, their demonstration facility. … We’re mainly doing a lot of robotics; some stuff for different companies.” “One of the projects is we’re making a new omni-directional vehicle,” Messing added. “Oak Ridge has this one omni-directional vehicle. … We modified some of the parts to make them better and more efficient. We changed which material we had on the rollers. … We looked for new materials that would hold up and last longer. I did a lot more proving, simulationwise … off-terrain type simula-

tion.” Using math and physics, “I was able to come up with a controller that would allow you to control which direction it’s going, and how fast,” Messing added. Messing and Keller, an engineering project team since last August, were assisted in pre-competition work by HVA classmate Josh Penny. Messing credited Dr. Lonnie Love at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for assisting the team. “He really wanted us thinking outside the box and coming up with something really crazy that could actually work,” Messing said. Messing said he’ll major in engineering at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, while Keller will attend Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. Messing said these competitions taught him and Keller “a lot of concepts, like engineering, math, physics-type concepts that aren’t necessarily taught in high school. I think that’ll definitely

benefit us for college. “I’d say we have a lot more experience in real engineering than a lot of people that are going

into the kinds of fields that we’re looking at for college,” Messing added. “And just the [Oak Ridge] connections.”

flagged 45 during health assessments. He noted illicit discharges in 24. He also noted 212 discharge points into Turkey Creek after rains. Twelve of those were tested for common pollutants, including chlorine and ammonia, and none raised red flags. Over his 10 months in Farragut, Cunningham removed 1,470 pounds of refuse from Turkey Creek. He gifted 350 trees to the community, planting many along Turkey Creek’s banks to help with

erosion and giving others to members of the community. He recycled at Town Hall and at special events such as Picnic on the Pike, taking 2,720 pounds of materials to a recycling center in his Nissan Versa. “If it seems I’m patting myself on the back, it might be because I am,” Cunningham joked. In addition to his work in the Town, Cunningham also conducted a recycling education program at The University of Tennessee, which included hanging whimsical recycling posters featuring Lady Gaga and unicorns, among other things. “They were a big hit.”

“There are 500 copies on the UT campus and as of 2013, they will become permanent recycling bin wrappers for The University of

From the Desk of the Mayor… As the Town of Farragut begins its new fiscal year on July 1, we look forward to an outstanding year filled with important improvements for the Town, as well as the continued high level of services we provide our citizens. The FY2013 budget is balanced and continues to meet the needs of the community while maintaining services. We look forward to increased sales tax revenues from new businesses opening this year, including Costco and Publix, which will allow the Town to sustain current service levels. Summer is an especially family-friendly time in the Town of Farragut. One of the most anticipated annual events is Farragut’s Independence Day Parade. Be sure to join us on July 4 along Kingston Pike for this wonderful community event. We also look forward to partnering again this year with the Farragut Business Alliance on the Red, White & Blues and Taste of Farragut. See the article in this newsletter and visit farragutbusiness.com for more details. I also encourage you to take advantage of the many recreational opportunities available in the Town during the warm months. Farragut’s extensive greenway system welcomes you for an early morning jog or casual afternoon stroll, and the kids can cool off daily at the splash pad at McFee Park. Have a fun and enjoyable summer! The Town of Farragut – it’s our history, beauty of both the natural and built, high quality residential choices, multiple activity centers, convenient living, outstanding recreational opportunities and community spirit that make us distinctive.

Help keep Farragut clean Adopt A Mile, Greenway or Stream The Town of Farragut offers its citizens many opportunities to go “green” while giving back to the community! The following adoption programs are a great way to get involved and keep Farragut clean. Find more information on these three programs at townoffarragut.org or by calling 966-7057. • ADOPT A MILE PROGRAM - Volunteers from businesses, civic clubs, churches, neighborhood associations, scouts, school groups, families and other organizations adopt a mile of a Farragut road. Participants must be at least 11 years of age, sign a liability release

form (parents must sign for minor children) and watch a safety video before the first scheduled pickup. Groups adopting the mile agree to clean the road at least once a quarter for a two-year period. The Town agrees to place two signs identifying the group that has adopted that mile and to provide all safety equipment and supplies for the cleanup. • ADOPT A GREENWAY PROGRAM - The Adopt A Greenway Program is a wonderful way for organizations with younger children to be part of a community clean-up effort. Sections of the Town’s four main greenways are

available under similar guidelines as the Adopt A Mile Program - a group, individual or family agrees to clean that section of the greenway at least once a quarter for a oneyear period. The Town will provide all the necessary supplies and will identify the adopting group with a twosided sign located on that section of the greenway. • ADOPT-A-STREAM PROGRAM - Annual responsibilities for adopting groups include conducting a stream walk, three stream watches, a pipe and drainage ditch inventory (if applicable) and two stream clean-ups. The group coordinator will attend

a simple and brief training to learn Adopt-A-Stream protocols and then will coordinate their implementation. The Town will provide supplies, signage, technical guidance and maintenance of documentation of the group’s

efforts. This program operates under the auspices of the Water Quality Forum, a consortium of agencies, organizations, schools, businesses and citizens working to protect and restore our regional waterways.
