Continental Properties to go ‘back to the drawing board’ ■ TAMMY CHEEK

tcheek@farragutpress.com

Continental Properties Companies Inc., also known as Continental 333 Fund, has withdrawn its request to rezone 19.66 acres just north of Kingston Pike at Peterson Road for The Springs at Farragut, an upscale apartment development.

“We are going take that item off the agenda,” Mayor Ralph McGill said during Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting Thursday, June 25.

“There won’t be any action taken

but representatives of Continental, at that time, would like to make a statement.”

Town administrator David Smoak said Continental Properties’ withdrawal of the application means the firm would have to come back and go through the whole process again. Smoak’s announcement elicited applause from residents.

Despite the announcement, Smith Road and other area residents asked to speak on the proposed rezoning Baldwin Park subdivision resident Michael Wilson said resi-

dents did not have an issue with the developer.

“It’s a nice project, but there are inconsistencies with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan,” Wilson said.

Mul Wyman, a resident of Wyndham Hall subdivision off Grigsby Chapel Road, said he thought the development should be built in the Mixed-Use Town Center District, and other residents agreed.

While residents were given the opportunity to speak, they objected to the firm’s having an opportunity to give public expla-

nation for its withdraw.

“I object to Continental Properties making any kind of statement,” resident John Nehls said.

“There’s no longer an item before the Board, and for them to make a statement, not as a resident, I think would deprive the citizens of what I believe is following the procedure or the protocol.”

Along that line, the crowd interjected, saying Continental Properties representatives were not residents.

Town attorney Tom Hale spoke over them, saying, “The chair-

man is entitled to manage the agenda. Let’s be fair about this.

“Everyone who comes in here has rights, not just one group,” he said. “When we start denying rights, we run the risk of being sued.”

Still, residents such as Martin Ritter of Fox Den subdivision objected.

“It’s not an issue on the agenda,” Ritter said.

“You weren’t on the agenda either,” McGill said.

“Don’t you guys want to find See ZONE on Page 5A

Village Green residents Cottrell to head Cedar battle over pool assessment Bluff Elementary School ■

Kristi Hulsey, Village Green Homeowners Association president, and Rob Eddins, HOA vice president, in front of the pool and tennis court, 218 West Heritage Drive, they are looking to replace with a $1.05 million proposed renovation.

■

Special to farragutpress

The fate of a proposed $1.05 million pool, tennis courts, sports court and parking lot renovation for Village Green subdivision, 218 West Heritage Drive, will be decided Saturday, July 12.

That’s the date where residents representing Village Green’s 462 households will gather in the subdivision clubhouse and vote whether or not to accept the plan, which would include a $400 annual spike in homeowners dues over eight years (currently $295 yearly) or a one-time “special assessment” fee of $3,000 per household for one year.

Proxy ballots for those unable to attend the July 12 meeting in Village Green clubhouse, 218 West Heritage Drive, recently were distributed to each home, Village Green HOA president Kristi Hulsey said.

A 60-percent quorum at the meeting, and at least a two-third vote of approval from household representatives is needed to make the project a reality,

Hulsey added.

Breaking down the numbers of those outspoken in favor versus those outspoken against as of mid-June, “It’s about 180 verbal yes’s and about four dozen verbal no’s,” Rob Eddins, Village Green HOA vice president, said.

The biggest negative they hear is, “’I don’t use the pool so why should I pay for it?’” Eddins said. “… Most of the disapproval and negative comments and attitudes about it are pretty basic pocket book.”

The new “L-shaped” pool’s main swimming area “would be 25 yards long and about 50 feet in width” plus “a shallow end in the short arm of the ‘L,’” Eddins said, adding the current West Heritage Drive pool “is about a third of that size.”

Though saying the new pool is not being built just to satisfy the swim team, the Village Green Gators, with “north of 100” subdivision youth ages 6 to 18, Eddins added, “It is a factor.”

With only five lanes for Gators competitions at the Monticello pool, “It is the smallest and shallowest pool for competitive,

neighborhood swimming in Knoxville,” Eddins said, adding the new pool would have “eight lanes.”

The West Heritage and Monticello pools were “built more than 40 years ago” according to Eddins, with both on the verge of needing extensive repair. “It’s difficult to maintain and operate. They’re money pits.”

The $1.05 million estimate is based on “a local landscape architect who has significant experience with projects like this,” Eddins said.

Also included in the renovation are “two bathrooms” plus a bare structure for a future “snack bar” without making it operational immediately based on current limited funds, Eddins said.

One subdivision resident on record opposing the project, Bill Shunk, said he’s lived in Village Green “since 1977.”

Village Green resident pool usage is inflated, Shunk said, because “there’s probably a halfSee POOL on Page 2A

When Keith Cottrell refers to Farragut Primary School as his administrative “boot camp” for learning about how a kindergarten through second-grade school operates, it’s anything but a harsh reference.

“Farragut Primary was a fantastic area to Cottrell grow for me,” Cottrell, FPS assistant principal for three school years, said after being appointed new principal at Cedar Bluff Elementary School Tuesday, June 2. “The school was great, the community was wonderful.

“First off all, I have to say that the principal, Gina Byrd, was a wonderful friend to me, a wonderful mentor to me,”

Cottrell added. “She’s a great school leader as the community knows.

“And she was just fantastic for letting me have opportunities at the school to lead different instructional initiatives. To certainly interact with the kids, interact with the parents.”

Though an elementary school teacher for 13 years “prior to going into the Leadership Academy” to train as an administrator, “All my teaching experience was with intermediate-aged students,” Cottrell said. “So actually working in a primary school for three years was like primary school boot camp for me. It gave me a great opportunity to learn more about the curriculum and the types of teachers that gravitate towards those grades and the students.

“So it was a great training ground in that regard.”

Shandy Dixon and Amy Boling recently took a labor of love and the duo soon hopes to reap the fruits of that labor.

“My friend Amy Boling and I wanted to do something for the town of Farragut,” Dixon said.

“We love music. Our kids play music and I’m the daughter of a musician.”

Dixon and Boling set out on a mission that resulted in The Lawn Chair Concert Series, which will debut on July 30 at Founders Park at Campbell Station.

The concerts will be on Thursday night from 6 to 9 p.m.,

July 30 and Aug. 27.

“This is for the town of Farragut and this is for fun,” Dixon said. “We wanted to do something simple without all of the money and politics involved.

“This all started when they had an open-mic night at Farragut High School and they had kids who couldn’t get in to the auditorium,” Dixon said.

“Amy and I knew that these kids just want to listen to music. You know that if the kids wanted to listen to music, then their parents probably want to listen too.

“This is grass roots and anytime you want to do anything, you have to go downtown. We See CONCERT on Page 2A

experience actually began at CBES “in the Leadership Academy during the 2011-12 school year” before coming to FPS. “Cedar Bluff was my internship place” under then principal Susan Davis, he said.

About his new job, “It’s a huge honor. It’s been a great ride so far. I’m very, very excited,” Cottrell said. “It was Tuesday [June 2] when I got the call from Dr. [Jim] McIntyre [Jr.],” Knox County Schools superintendent who appointed Cottrell to CBES.

increases in the building process.

“I would say by the time they got done, you would probably be looking at $2 million,” Shunk added.

Eddins said the issue of building a new pool “has been bubbling up for a couple of years now. … The idea of replacing one of our old pools was first broached in 2011.”

that encouraged him to become an administrator.

“My second year as a teacher and I was working at A.L. Lotts Elementary and my principal there, his name was Fred Nidiffer, very early on in my teaching career encouraged me to consider administration,” Cottrell said. “He saw a skill set in me that he thought would be a good fit for that.

“I thought about it, but I wanted to wait until it just felt right,” Cottrell added. “… When Knox County started the Leadership Academy that was kind of the catalyst for me because I thought that program would be a great bridge between the classroom and administration.

“And it was.”

Cottrell’s CBES duties officially begin July 1.

• On June 24 at around 8:10 p.m., Knox County Sheriff’s Office responded to Kohl’s department store, 11530 Kingston Pike in Farragut, for a theft by shoplifting. Complainant/witness/loss prevention reported that she observed the suspect, a 39-year-old white female, take merchandise into a fitting room and then not bring it out with her. The fitting rooms were checked and the merchandise was not there. Suspect attempted to exit the store without making any attempt to pay for the merchandise. Complainant stopped the suspect and discovered that the suspect was wearing the merchandise under her clothing. Merchandise was recovered but cannot be resold due to suspect wearing the merchandise. The merchandise total was $127.03, which is a Class A Misdemeanor. Suspect was arrested. There is Kohl’s securi-

ty video of the incident.

• On June 24, a City Bank complainant called and reported suspicious activity on her credit card. Complainant then realized several items including her credit card were missing from her billfold. She had last seen the items before leaving her car at the Gold’s Gym parking lot near Farragut at 7 p.m., June 24.

Victim’s car was locked but no damage appears to have been done. Complainant advised she has canceled her debit and credit cards and was missing $110 in currency.

• On June 27 at around 8:24 p.m., KCSO responded to JCPenney, 11534 Parkside Drive in Farragut, for a theft by shoplifting. Complainant reported that the suspect, a 24-year-old white male, had just put on a pair of shoes from the shelf and ran out of the store while not making any attempt to pay for the mer-

chandise. Suspect was also with another suspect, a 22-year-old white female, who had attempted to do a return and then possibly taken some unknown merchandise by concealing it in her purse. Suspect fled from the store and ran down the street.

KCSO was unable to locate the suspects. Merchandise total was $79.99 making it a Class A Misdemeanor. There is JCPenney security video of the incident.

• On June 26 around 10:16 a.m., a complainant advised his Wells Fargo credit account was compromised by the suspect during the listed dates. The account had been paid off by the complainant but was charged for a total of $2,093.46 by the suspect.

It is unknown how the suspect obtained the information necessary to gain access to the account.

“Everybody should just come out and bring a picnic basket or their lawn chair and have fun,” she said.

Dixon also noted that the event organizers are in negotiations to obtain food trucks.

Dixon recently took her quest to the town of Farragut and said she was surprised that the Town embraced her idea.

“We called the town of Farragut and I expected to get shut down or ‘a maybe next year,’” she said but I’d like to thank Sue Stuhl with Parks and Recreation for all of her help.

The town of Farragut agreed to let us use the park and they agreed to provide us with electricity. We’re just so excited

In 2014, the town of Farragut partnered with North Star Destination Strategies, a national leader in its industry, to help us develop a new community brand. North Star’s process, applied in more than 200 communities nationwide, involves extensive research, targeted strategies, distinctive creative and action ideas for bringing a brand to Dot life.

LaMarche North Star underFarragut stands that Vice Mayor communities that initiate branding efforts with thoughtful research and then proceed from a distinct strategic position are the most successful. More than 15 pieces of quantitative and qualitative research — including perception studies, demographic profiling and a competitive analysis — were conducted to understand Farragut from a community, consumer and competitive perspective. Throughout the research phase, we heard that Farragut is an amazing place to live thanks to great schools, engaged parents, and a safe community that is well cared for and welcoming. The Town also is a major shopping destination for those in the greater Knoxville area and is in a prime location offering residents an easy commute. Finally, we heard that Farragut offers an exceptional quality of life that includes beautiful parks and

Farragut, Tennessee

greenways and a thriving business community.

A creative committee — made up of Town staff, elected officials, business owners and community leaders — selected “Live Closer • Go Further” for our strapline. Farragut is close to so much that matters to residents and visitors: The University of Tennessee, Interstate 40/75, great shopping and dining, toprated Knox County Schools, a multitude of housing options, greenways and parks, and more.

Because of this literal and figurative closeness to everything that matters, our residents, businesses and visitors can “Go Further” in life. The second half of the strapline is an open-ended invitation to go further in school, in business and in life.

We hope you will find Farragut’s new logo to be progressive, youthful, friendly and memorable. The logo comes to life in color with a blue and bright green — a reference to our well-manicured landscapes, proximity to the Tennessee River, and parks and greenways.

The blue maintains a similarity to the Farragut blue our residents are used to seeing while also adding the fresh modern green.

Over the next weeks and months, you will begin seeing this new brand integrated around Farragut in a variety of areas including Town entrance and park signs, decals on Town vehicles and the Town’s website.

We hope you will embrace the meaning behind our brand and continue to celebrate what makes Farragut special to our East Tennessee region. The town of Farragut: Live Closer • Go Further.

We had some exciting news this month when we announced that Tennessee students made significant gains in the 2015 Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) scores.

We saw gains in all high school subjects and in the majority of subjects in grades 3-8. The scores show strong growth for the third consecutive year. In fact, we have seen dramatic gains in key areas since we came into office in 2011.

We have 131,000 more students performing on grade level in math than in 2011. We also have nearly 60,000 more students performing at grade level in science since that time. We have seen particularly significant increases in Algebra II. In 2011, less than one-third of students in Algebra II were performing at grade level. This year, more than 54 percent of our students performed at or above grade level in that subject.

We also saw advances in scores among black, Hispanic, Native American and economically disadvantaged students, with every one of those groups making gains in all high school subjects. Black, Hispanic and Native American students also made gains in math and reading in grades 3-8, narrowing achievement gaps with peers.

While high school students and seventh- and eighth-grade students made gains in literacy, the state average in literacy declined in grades 3-6. This shows we need to push harder

than ever to ensure our students hit the mark in reading in the early grades.

It is reassuring to know we are making broad gains in education, but we want to bolster that trend every way we can. That is why we see great promise in establishing the Governor’s Teacher Cabinet. We’ve had a number of conversations with teachers in a variety of settings, and this is another way to receive direct feedback from teachers who are in front of a class every day. As Tennessee continues to build on the success we’ve seen in our schools over the past four years, we want to hear from teachers about what is working and what needs improvement.

The cabinet will meet quarterly with Education Commissioner Candice McQueen and me to share timely information from the classroom, advise us on policy considerations and provide a direct line of communication to schools and communities.

We asked directors of schools to nominate one teacher from each of their districts, and 18 classroom teachers were selected based on the following criteria: focused on student achievement, encourages collaboration among colleagues, demonstrates leadership, solutions-oriented and relentlessly pursues excellence. They are: Elisabeth McArthur Bellah, Maryville City Schools; Melissa Bennett, Blount County Schools; Marsha Buck, Kingsport City Schools; Nick Darnell, Hamblen County

Yet Fox Run, Saddle Ridge and Concord Hills are absent from the meeting. Fox Run’s board stated they are in support and ambivalent of the project. The more I learn, I discover they are not speaking for the majority of our citizens.

They have a lot on their plates, so I really appreciate their willingness to serve the state in this way. Our first meeting is planned for July.

We know that nothing is more important for us than getting education right. We are asking Tennessee students and teachers to do more than they ever have before, and the results continue to show growth. We are always looking for where we can improve. It is all part of our effort to help every Tennessee student graduate from high school, obtain a postsecondary degree and be successful in the workforce.

She explained, if I understand her right, that it was a debt of the owner of record the year the special assessment was placed. So, for example, if you pay $400 this year and next year put your home on the market, you will have to pay the remaining $2,800 at one time before you

sell the home. Surprise, surprise, nobody tells us this stuff. For Pete’s sake, please vote no.

extravagance. I heard too, someone told me, that when we’re done paying for this pool in eight years they’re going to slap another assessment on us for the other pool. That’s ridiculous. We need something done.

• I’m a resident of Village Green and I would like to complain about the person who writes Presstalk. This person is very, very biased and is not printing both sides of the story.

Village Green’s swimming pool was built before July 1966, when Village Green opened. It was built by Marvin Ellison. This pool will be 50 years old in the spring and it needs to be replaced or it will not be able to be used anymore. As for people writing in to complain that there were secret meetings, there were signs all over the place in Village Green about these meetings and they were not secret meetings because I was at them. Those people do not read their mail, they do not read flyers. I cannot believe that there are so many people in Village Green that don’t know what’s going on because they don’t bother to read. … There are people in Village Green that do not want to pay money for anything, but there are almost 200 of us who signed a straw poll ballot that said we wanted this done. Just because the other

what they have to say.”

“I want to know what they want to do and what they are going to do,” LaMarche said. “I think we need to hear what [Continental] is going to tell us.

Guys, be kind.”

Board members voted unanimously to allow Johnson to speak.

Continental Properties’ developers opted to withdraw its rezoning application its site plan and come back with another one, Sara Johnson, Continental

Properties development director, said.

“We’ve been looking at this market for over a year now, and we found a site that we feel fits very well within the context of the Comprehensive Land Use map,” Johnson said but added after hearing from members of the planning commission, the Board and staff, there was a concern about density.

“So rather than proceeding forward with our plans, we

people who never bother to read anything are finally reading something, because they have to vote, and we want everybody to vote. There are over 400 homes here in Village Green. Anyway, I expect to see something in the Presstalk about the other side of the story and not just these few people who are complaining that it is too much money because the swimming pool, tennis courts, the club house were all built by the developer, Marvin Ellison, in 1966. You cannot let anything go that long without replacing it or repairing it and it is beyond repair.

Editor’s Note: Presstalk is not written. It is compiled from material that is called in or emailed to our Presstalk telephone number (671-TALK) or email address (presstalk@farragutpress.com) without bias.

We enjoy having both sides of an issue presented. However, until we received this call in, there have been no communications from Village Green residents in

support of this project. We cannot print “the other side” if no one presents it.

• Has anyone noticed all the “burn out” tire marks all over the streets in Farragut. They can be seen on West End Boulevard, South Campbell Station Road, McFee Road, Kingston Pike and Boyd Station Road. How can people do drag racing and burn their tires without some police seeing or hearing it? Something needs to be done to make our streets safe.

• I’m a resident of Kings Gate and I take offense at all the talk about people making below $40,000 a year not being worthy to live in Farragut that was made during the [Farragut Municipal] Planning Commission meeting [June 18]. Our subdivision was here long before both Baldwin Park and Waverly Court and Grigsby Chapel Road was nothing more than a two-lane alley, so what makes you think we want to live next to you?

Johnson said the firm has decided to take another look at

the density and site plan layout, work with the property owner on those items and come back with another application.

Sir Goony’s gets a facelift ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

For Sir Goony’s Family Fun Center co-owner Johnnie Stringfield remodeling work is never done.

“This past year, we have done a lot of things that needed to be done,” Stringfield said about his most recent and biggest remodeling project that started in March. “We’re constantly upgrading stuff. We still have more to do.”

The 7.98-acre family-run center at 10925 Kingston Pike, Farragut, has undergone a major remodeling of its concrete and rebar animals, putting surfaces and 12 holes, as well as adding all new water slides and Hilton Head hand-dipped ice cream on its menu. Still, Stringfield said he expects to look at making more changes in the fall.

“As soon as we get it all done, we start (remodeling) all over again,” he said. “Once we get to the end of the season, we’ll look at what we want to do in the spring.”

Upgrades are made as the Stringfields save enough for the work, he said, adding, “We’ve been blessed in our business.”

Customers will note some changes to the animals. For example, the dinosaur was changed from purple to orange and it is slamming a caveman.

Another change includes the addition of a princess in the castle.

“We had a 4-year-old little girl who named her Princess Rose,” he said.

Stringfield and his daughter, Shelby, and 14-year-old family friend, Lydia Cage, were involved in the remodels.

“My daughter, Shelby, picked out the color of the castle,” he said. “I kind of like it.”

His daughter, Sydney, is involved with the business as well, helping with the bookkeeping, Stringfield added.

While Stringfield and wife, Sheila, bought the business April 7, 1997, Sir Goony’s was built in the late 1980s, he said.

“This place has a lot of histo-

ry,” he added. When the Stringfields bought the business, it included two miniature golf courses, one of which was a championship course and two gokart tracks. Since then, they have added on to the golf courses and added paintball in 1999 and a radio-controlled car racing speedway track three and a half years ago.

“We have 36 holes of golf,” he said, adding the center has two 18-hole golf courses, the more laid-back course with the animals and a championship course.

“What I like most is the family environment,” he said. “I think the best thing I like about this [business] is there is nothing better than kids’ laughter.”

Sir Gooney’s draws families from all over the area, from Farragut to Bearden, Hardin Valley and even Karns and Knoxville.

“We get a lot of camp and school groups in the summer,” he said.

Sir Gooney’s Family Fun Center is open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Thursday, from 10 a.m. to midnight, Friday and Saturday and from noon to 10 p.m., Sunday.

Hickam-Cruze named ‘coach of the year’ ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

When Whitney Hickam-Cruze became softball coach at Hardin Valley Academy seven years ago, she set out to build the Lady Hawks’ program from scratch.

It took seven seasons of ups and downs but Hickam-Cruze and the Lady Hawks finally saw their hard work pay off in 2015.

Hardin Valley won its first-ever District 4-AAA and Region 2-AAA Championships and made an appearance in the Class AAA State Tournament.

Recently Hickam-Cruze, who saw her team rewarded so handsomely, was named Prep Xtra Coach of the Year.

She may have received a high honor, but she’s giving credit to those around her.

“It’s very rewarding,” she said of being named Coach of the Year. “But when you have a special group of girls like this, it makes your job easier.

“I never had to harp on them or yell at them for not playing hard. We have a great team chemistry and when you think about this team, the word that comes to mind is resilience.”

Hardin Valley, which went 2914 and finished fifth in District 4AAA during the regular season, had to come from the loser’s bracket and win the tournament on the road against top-seeded

Bearden. And that was only one leg of a journey that landed the Lady Hawks in Murfreesboro.

The Lady Hawks lost to the Lady Bulldogs in the winner’s bracket semifinal. But HVA rallied to upset No. 2 seed and district co-champion Maryville twice to earn a return trip to Bearden, where it knocked off the Lady Bulldogs (who also made their first-ever trip to Murfreesboro) to win the district title.

The Lady Hawks then posted Region 2-AAA Tournament wins over Halls and Bearden before beating Seymour at home to make the State Tournament field.

“I’m so proud of these girls,” said Hickam-Cruze, a 2004 Central High School graduate, who played in the State Tournament during her senior season with the Lady Bobcats.

“When you play in our district, you have to have a short memory.

You’ve got to learn quickly and move on.”

Hickam-Cruze only made one trip to the Spring Fling as an athlete with a veteran team. At Hardin Valley, however, the 2015 team had a mix up veterans and youngsters/ The Lady Hawks, with some hard work, may end up on the grand stage in the Midstate again soon.

Standifer at home in Rocky Top League ■ KEN LAY

Correspondent

Drew Standifer spent the summer doing what he loves and that’s playing college basketball in his hometown.

“I love playing in the Rocky Top League,” said Standifer, a 2012 Bearden High School graduate who will soon begin his senior year at King University in Bristol. “I’m playing close to home and it’s good to have all those people come out and see us play.

“And it’s at [Knoxville] Catholic High School, so it’s just a short drive down the road from my house.”

King University is an NCAA Division II School but the Pilot Rocky Top League gives

Standifer and other small college players the chance to play with and against some top Division I players and some former college standouts that now play professionally overseas.

“It’s a great chance for me to play against some UT guys and when you play against those players, it makes you better, even though those players aren’t exactly playing super great defense.

“This also gives me the chance to play with some of my teammates in the summer close to home. When I play in the Rocky Top League, I get to catch up with some old friends like [former Tennessee] player Wayne Chism.”

This summer [in the league that completed its eighth season

on July 1], Standifer played for Campus Lights, a team coached by former Farragut High School and Maryville College standout Brent Watts.

Watts, though extremely competitive, is easygoing compared to King University coach George Pitts and Bearden head man Mark Blevins. Standifer thrived under those mentors but his basketball life hasn’t always been easy.

“Coach Pitts and coach Blevins are old-school hardnosed coaches,” he said. “Playing for coach Blevins was a great experience but it was hard.

“He’s one of the most unique coaches that I’ve ever had and he prepared me to play college See STANDIFER on Page 11A

Dover named new Farragut Boys Soccer coach ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

Ray Dover is no stranger to the Farragut High School boys soccer team. And he’s glad to be coming home.

“I’m excited,” said Dover, who was recently named to replace Dover W a l l i e Culbreth as the Admirals’ soccer coach. “I’ve got to meet with the players, work on the schedule and do the adm-inistrative things. I’ve got to hire my staff. It’s a busy time.

Dover replaces Culbreth, who coached at Farragut for 14 seasons and won four Class AAA State Championships. The new coach knows that he has some big shoes to fill.

But he’s looking forward to the challenge.

“The truth is that these are the jobs you want,” said Dover, a 2000 Farragut High School graduate, two year starter and team captain on the soccer pitch. “At Farragut, it’s a disappointment when you don’t win a State Championship and nobody has higher expectations than me, not any parent and not any administrator.”

After his playing days with the Ads, Dover went on to attend The University of Tennessee before making several stops to establish

himself in the health insurance business. He spent time in Little Rock, Ark., Kansas City, Mo., Houston, Texas, and Nashville.

While he solidified himself in the business world, he coached at soccer clinics and camps.

He returned to East Tennessee to become an assistant coach under Gordon Heins at Knoxville Catholic High School. Dover was a varsity assistant and the Irish’s junior varsity coach for three years.

“I grew up with Gordon. When I was a kid, he was my club coach.

He has 25 years of coaching experience,” Dover said. “He told me that he had an opportunity for me and that’s when I came back and took the job at Catholic.

While with the Irish, Dover con-

tinued to shore up his standing in the health insurance industry and that has allowed him to dedicate himself more to coaching.

“Now, I’m at a place professionally where I can dedicate the time to being a head coach,” Dover said. I learned a lot about organization from Gordon and I learned a lot from Brian Donnelley [another club coach who was an AllAmerican at Duke, who played for the United States under-21 National Team].”

FHS principal Stephanie Thompson said that the hire was a critical one for the school and the soccer program.

“It was incredibly important to fill this position with a coach who understands the tradition and expectations of our program,”

Thompson said in a school press release.

Farragut athletic director Donald Dodgen agreed.

“We’ve got a good one,” he said.

“He’s the right guy to maintain success of our soccer program.”

Dover noted that the interview process was a rigorous one.

“At Farragut, you have the support of the administration,” Dover said. “That was apparent throughout the interview process.

“I met with every grade level principal, along with Stephanie Thompson and coach Dodgen. I still call him coach Dodgen. He was my PE coach and he coached some of my good friends [in basketball].”

Rocky Top League for Watts, his ‘basketball fix’ ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

Brent Watts is and has always been a competitor. He was once a basketball star at Farragut High School and went on to be a standout at Maryville College.

His playing days are now over.

He’s now a business owner and family man but basketball remains close to his heart and for the last eight summers, he’s returned to the game he loves.

Since 2008, Watts has coached in the Pilot Rocky Top League.

Watts, who coaches Campus Lights and guided the squad to a league championship in 2014, is one of four coaches (including Chad Smith, Pat Walden and Rick Campbell) to coach in the fan-friendly summer league since it began in a hot Bearden High School gym.

“It’s just nice and it leads to me paying more attention to high school and college basketball during the season,” said Watts,

the 1997 Farragut High School graduate who recently opened Logo Braces, a company that manufactures ankle braces. “The league has given me the chance to interact and have a personal interest in so many different players.”

It’s also given Watts the chance to compete again and while coaching in the league, he’s coached the Watts likes of Armani Moore and Dane Bradshaw among others.

“This gives me the chance to get my basketball fix and it’s an opportunity for all of us to catch up with old friends,” Watts said.

“We have all kinds of talented players. You have Division I, Division II, Division III, and NAIA players and you get to see these players grow through the

years.

“The league is all about maturity. When guys are being recruited to play college basketball, they’re 17 and 18 years old. By the time they’re seniors in college, they’re 22 or 23 years old. In that time, they grow and develop and that’s why you have some small college players who can compete with the guys playing for Tennessee.”

The Pilot Rocky Top League features current and former college and professional basketball players. It’s an athlete’s league but that doesn’t mean that coaches don’t have an impact.

“In this league, you put guys into situations and see how they react,” Watts said. “You see what they do and you see how they play.

“And then, you find out how smart they are and what kind of basketball players they are going to be.”

During his time in the league, Watts has seen changes for the

better.

One change was the move from Bearden to Knoxville Catholic High School, an air conditioned venue. Bearden had no climate control in the gym when the league contested its games there between 2008 and 2012. In 2013, Christian Academy of Knoxville was the league’s home. It moved

to Catholic the following year where it remains.

“The first good change was the air conditioning,” Watts said.

Over the years, the league’s dynamic has also changed. It was once dominated by college stars like Chris Lofton, Ron Slay and See WATTS on Page 11A

Dover’s Farragut roots run extremely deep. He played soccer for Dennis Lindsay (who remains the girls coach at FHS. “I got a lot out of the Farragut soccer program,” Dover said. “I feel that it’s time to give back.

“My roots in Farragut are very, very deep. I played for Dennis Lindsay. {Assistant principal Kellie Ivens] taught me and she coached my brothers in track and cross country. My roots in Farragut go back to when I was in first grade in the old building at Farragut Primary School.”

Dover makes it no secret that his ultimate goal is to win State Championships but also knows that the District 4-AAA schedule is tough as it includes the likes of Bearden, Hardin Valley Academy, Maryville and West High.

C.J. Watson (a former Volunteer, who played in the summer after finding a place in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors and later with Chicago and Indiana).

“We don’t have the star power that we used to have and we don’t have the athletes. But we have basketball players and we have good basketball players,” Watts said.

During his time in basketball, Watts has made numerous stops.

He will, however, will always have fond memories of his days with the Admirals in Farragut.

“I was fortunate enough to play for Farragut at a time when Knoxville was a pretty talented market,” he said. “I was fortunate enough to go through high school with some talented players.”

basketball. He’s great with disciplining his players and it’s tough when you have to go through running drills.

“He’ll have you do something 1,000 times until you do it the way he wants it done.”

Blevins definitely impacts his players and his lessons go far beyond the basketball court.

“Coach Blevins wanted us to play hard and he wanted us to look after our [younger] teammates,” Standifer said. “He had me mentor a young guy, who sometimes had trouble getting to class and I had to call [the teammate] and sometimes, I had to pick him up.

“One time, we were playing in an exhibition game and coach Blevins benched all of the seniors because one of our teammates missed a tutoring appoint-

The Lady Hawks’ stay at the tournament was a brief one.

That, however, didn’t tarnish a historical season.

“I was, and we were so happy to be a part of all of this,” Hickam-Cruze said. “Hardin Valley is a great school and great place and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

She also credits HVA’s administration for her team’s success. “[Principal] Sallee Reynolds and [assistant principal] Jon Miller have been great,” HickamCruze said. “They mentored me in high school.”

Miller was the principal at Central and Reynolds was an assistant principal during Hickam-Cruse’s playing days in Fountain City. The coach also had high praise for athletic director George Ashe.

“He’s a great athletic director,” she said. “He supports you and he keeps you in line with the TSSAA.”

“This 2015 team will always be special to me,” she said. “We had a great mix of upper classmen and underclassmen. These girls have already started working toward next year.”

As for the coach, she also remains hungry.

“I’m not satisfied and as a coach, you’re never really satisfied,” Hickam-Cruze said. “I look at this in terms as a beginning.

“Hopefully, this is the beginning of great things for our program. This group has hit the ground hard and running.

Getting to the State Tournament never gets old and nothing’s more fun than winning ball games.”

The softball team was only part of an epic spring at Hardin Valley.

The baseball team won a State Championship. The boys soccer team made it to Murfreesboro for a second time and the track programs had some stellar perform-

ment. Coach Blevins wanted us to be strong and he wants us to be successful in life.”

Although Standifer acknowledged that life was sometimes hard in high school, he noted that Blevins had a lighter side.

“He’s knowledgeable man and sometimes, he’s a man of few words,” Standifer said of Blevins and sometimes, when you don’t expect it, he could be funny. A lot of times, he would tell us some funny stories when we were driving back from a summer trip.”

Standifer also took a class from his high school coach and he said that Blevins brought history to life.

“He teaches a class called Americans at War and it’s all about the Civil War,” Standifer said. “Coach Blevins knew all the generals and he knew their strategies.

“We went on field trips and we went to a Civil War reenactment

and he was in it.”

Blevins prepared Standifer, who will soon enroll in graduate school and later become a physical therapist, to play for Pitts, another legendary old-school coach.

“Coach Pitts breaks you down and makes you a better player,” Standifer said. “He plays mind games. If you make a mistake twice, he’ll take you out.

“He’ll explain what you did wrong and then put you right back in the game. He always gives his players second chances.”

While Standifer is accustomed to gritty basketball, the Pilot Rocky Top League gives him and other players to have a little fun.

“In the Rocky Top League, it’s just guys playing basketball,” he said. “We have fun and get a chance to interact with kids, who come out and warm up for us and that’s great.”

28th annual

Independence Day Parade Happening this Saturday, the annual event is Farragut's most popular and well-attended

■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Thousands of Farragut area residents are expected at this year’s Farragut 28th annual Independence Day Parade.

The Town will host the parade beginning at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, July 4, on Kingston Pike starting at Farragut High School entrance, Lendon Welch Way, and continuing to Boring Road, just east of Farragut Towne Square Shopping Center, which is the former Ingles store site.

"The Independence Day Parade continues to be Farragut's most popular and well-attended community event each year,”

Chelsey Riemann, Farragut public relations coordinator, said.

“We invite our citizens and the surrounding community to spend July 4 morning with us for this family-friendly event. Kids — and their parents — will love the horses, bands, dancers and giveaways from local businesses.

“We expect between 1,000 to 1,250 parade participants and 10,000-plus attendees on Kingston Pike,” Riemann said.

“We're excited to announce attendees can expect a special Farragut giveaway to be handed out during the parade by our Board of Mayor and Aldermen.”

This year’s grand marshal will be Helen Ashe, founder of the Love Kitchen. A Knoxville charity, the Love Kitchen provides meals, clothing and emergency food packages to those who are homebound and unemployed, Riemann said.

“We have 91 entries in the parade,” she said, adding the cutoff every year is 95 entries.

Parade-goers can expect to see such entries as Mayfield Dairy, Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt, RiverView Family Farm, Sir Goony’s Family Fun Center and Chick-Fil-A. Eun’s Martial Arts Center’s entry will involve between 80 to 100 youngsters, and East

Farragut Business Alliance members invite Farragut and surrounding communities to celebrate Independence Day at the eighth annual Red, White & Blues Pre-Independence Day Picnic.

The event, presented by TDS Telecom and co-hosted by FBA and town of Farragut, will take place from 6:30 to 10 p.m., Friday, July 3, on the lawn of Renaissance | farragut at 12849 Kingston Pike, Allison Sousa, FBA executive director, said.

“Bring your lawn chairs and picnic blankets,” she said.

Renaissance | farragut is a move from last year’s location, Sousa said.

“With Two Rivers Church taking a break from its traditional July 3 event, we thought a location closer to that end of town

might draw some new folks to our event,” Sousa said.

“We never know for sure, but traditionally we’ve had 1,200 to 1,500,” she said. “With Casey Abrams as our headliner this year, we’re anticipating 1,500 to 2,000, so folks should go ahead and get their tickets online now.”

Families can gather for the live concert, presented by Tennova Healthcare, featuring Casey Abrams, who will take the stage at 8 p.m., or take part in a watermelon-eating contest, sponsored

by Ingles Markets.

After competing in 2011 on “American Idol, Abrams, 24, singer, songwriter and multiinstrumentalist released a selftitled album on Concord Records in 2012 and had an acting role in the upcoming movie, “Offer and Compromise.”

“The FBA has been trying, hoping, to secure a ‘big fish’ for

several years now, and thanks to Tennova Healthcare, we’ve finally done it with Casey Abrams,” Sousa said. “He’s proven to be a draw already, as we’ve sold tickets to this event all the way to Nashville so far.”

Besides Abrams, entertainment will include Concord Brass, which will open the celebration with a variety of patriotic tunes.

“We’re happy to have the Concord Brass return this year to get folks in a festive mood with their patriotic music,” she said.

While adults enjoy the music, children can take part in a number of free activities, such as Game Truck, face painting, Bricks 4 Kidz, RoHAWKtics, Bouncy Castle and Hamster Ball.

Premium rides, for which an additional charge applies, include Zip Line, Euro-Bungy See RW&B on Page 2B

Johnson also had a few words of advice for dealing with barbecue fires, saying, “Please remember to maintain and extinguishing method around any open fire and only grill with a properly maintained appliance.”

Johnson went on to add that although they haven’t set up anything in case people find and/or take photos of suspicious material they find at one of the events, people should still get the word if such a situation calls for it.

“We don’t currently have a central point established, but they can be emailed directly to my office for follow up or contact the Knox County Sheriff’s Office.”

Johnson went on to say that due to the “inconsistencies” of making these fireworks, the results tend to be unpredictable and taken for granted.

“Due to the limited quality control and oversight of these products, the destructive values of these products can be easily underestimated. We emphasize leaving it up to professionals and going to a licensed public display.”

David Hayes: business owner, patriot From his strong support of veterans to his Made in the USA merchandise, Hayes understands the unique nature of our Republic.

David’s Abbey Carpet & Floors is one of many local businesses proud of the country where they live and make business decisions to show it. The store’s location in Patriot Corner is home to the 25-by-40-foot American flag that cannot be missed while driving down Kingston Pike. The flag is replaced twice per year to prevent a tethered look.

“I couldn’t be sitting here in business if we didn’t have the freedom and the people to fight for that freedom,” said David Hayes, owner of David’s Abbey Carpet & Floors. “We are lucky to live in the US. It’s the best country in the world.”

David’s Abbey Carpet & Floors has a wide selection of strictly American made merchandise. “In my business, half of our products are made in the

USA. We have one of the best groups of associates you could put together and the best selection of carpet, vinyl, wood, ceramic and area rugs,” Hayes said.”

The store also is a strong supporter of HonorAir and gives their customers the chance to participate, as well. They offer each customer the opportunity to donate to the organization, and the store will match that donation.

More than 60 years ago a remarkable generation of Americans joined forces to protect civilizations in the largest war in world history. No amount of gratitude could ever repay the debt for the gift of democracy these veterans gave the world.

HonorAir Knoxville is dedicated to honoring East Tennessee World War II

and Korean War veterans and the sacrifices they made to ensure our freedoms. HonorAir flies the veterans to see the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. free of charge, a trip most would not be able to make without the HonorAir program. HonorAir is completely funded through donations.

“These flights are very expensive.

They cost about $60,000 each flight, they take about 125 veterans each flight and they do two flights per

year,” Hayes said. “Whether they are World War II or whether they are last week’s veterans, I couldn’t operate a business in a free country without people like that.”

Hayes, a Farragut resident, has four children and nine grandchildren that choose to celebrate Independence Day together at his home each year and occasionally attend the annual town of Farragut parade. “They all come over here, and we enjoy it,” he added.

Fox Den Country Club 18-Hole League held a “50 Shades of “Green” tournament Thursday, June 25, at FDCC, giving those who turned out a glimpse into its creative worlds.

As part of its annual member/guest tournament, league members come up with a creative theme to make the day more entertaining.

“Every year, the 18-hole ladies pick a theme for this day,” Betty Dick, chairman of the league said. “As chairman of the group, it’s my responsibility to introduce my ideas. I went to the internet, actually, and I had three or four ideas, but this was the one, when I said it, everybody just laughed and it just went from there.”

Betty Macdonald, Brooke Walker, Linda Arbuckle and

Karen Gilbertson won the event, but talk throughout the course came from Hole 16, where Dick scored her first hole-in-one, helping her team finish with 99.

“Well I had a 5-hybrid and it happened to be good that the pin was 3-position and it rolled in.

We all cheered because I’ve never had one before. It’s quite exciting.”

For tournament teammate — and 9-hole member-gone-guest — Thursday, Angie Beeler and the rest of Team Tee No. 13A, it was just as exciting for them watching as it must’ve been for Dick.

“She hit the ball and it went right on the green. I thought it rolled past the pin because I couldn’t see it, but it rolled right in and we were like, ‘Oh my God, she made it!”

Casual Pint fundrasier reunites military pilot with dogs ■

Alan Sloan

U.S. Air Force Retired Maj. Kevin Cook thanks Katie and Andy Brown for taking care of his dogs, Indi and Ruby, during his most recent overseas deployment of roughly six months. Katie Brown is Knoxville coordinator and liaison for Dogs On Deployment.

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

To help support the care of pets whose military personnel owners are deployed overseas, or moved to another base where having a pet is not allowed, The Casual Pint in Farragut stepped to the plate.

“I approached The Casual Pint to participate in what we call a Beer-Dog Veterans Challenge. For every beer that is sold from 6 [p.m.] to midnight, $1 goes to Dogs On Deployment,” Katie Brown, Knoxville coordinator for Dogs On Deployment, said about the Friday evening, June 12, event. It featured the reuniting of retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Kevin Cook with his two Australian cattle dogs, Indi and Ruby, for the first time in more than six months while Cook was deployed overseas.

Dogs On Deployment facilitates the care of such pets.

A packed house witnessed Cook, a Special Operations military pilot looking to become an

airline pilot, embracing Indi and Ruby with cheers all around.

“I was set to go on my first deployment, which was January of 2014 and I needed to find something to do with the dogs,” Cook, said. “You can always board them, but you don’t really want to do that, it’s kind of cost prohibitive. … I was looking for an alternative, somewhere where they’d be happy.”

Brown and her husband, DOD volunteer Alex Brown, took in Ruby and Indi, both 10 years old.

“I had them for six months, and then he came back for a month or two, and then was redeployed for another six months. I’ve have them overall about a year,” Katie Brown said.

“Through a good old Internet search I ran across Dogs On Deployment. … I found Alex and Katie up there in Lenoir City.”

Cook said. “I just can’t say enough good things about the way Alex and Katie took care of them.”

Chris Mulgrew, The Casual Pint manager, said co-owner Patrick O’Brien “is part of the Air

National Guard, he’s the flight surgeon for them. Pat and [coowner] Barbara O’Brien are very involved with Young-Williams [Animal Shelter]” and other petrelated organization, “So they came across this charity.

“Luckily, we were able to have the reunion and the fundraiser, which was amazing for us and amazing for the charity,” Mulgrew added. “We’re just very grateful that they wanted us to host the event. Kevin deserved several beers from us. We’re happy he’s willing to do this at our store.

We’re happy and proud of what he’s done.”

Mulgrew said many such military personnel who need care for one or more pets “have families, but sometimes for individuals they don’t have family members close to them [logistically]. …

It’s kind of overlooked that they need that assistance.”

“We have over 700 pets that we have watched and fostered since 2011 when we were established” locally, Katie Brown said. “It’s based in San Diego.”

Club Organized Admissions Exam I’m starting an exclusive club for disorganized women, but not just anyone can join. Each person will have to pass an admissions exam. You can be one of my charter members as long as you can answer yes to at least five of the scenarios in the exam.

I’m in heaven as I think about starting this exclusive, club Pam (no BOs allowed) and Young Make it I’m calling it CLUB Fun! O R G A NIZED. Really, I’m just changing the name of my website from www.makeitfunanditwillgetdone.com to www.cluborganized.com but in the excitement of being able to get this perfect name for my website, I started fantasizing about having a real club for us!)

Of course we won’t have meetings (we’re all too busy) and there won’t be dues or uniforms or secret handshakes, but we’ll all know we belong. And we just might start having an annual convention here in Woodland, Washington. We’ll be a sisterhood of SLOBS (remember SLOB stands for Spontaneous, Lighthearted, Optimistic and Beloved) and we’ll be bound together by our love for our families and our desire to have clean, cozy, peaceful homes.

Here’s the test. Incidentally, if you can honestly answer yes to every one of these SHE scenarios, you’ll eligible for admission into the highly coveted DE status (Deficiency Expert) of the club and you’ll receive all the goodies

that go along with it and as soon as I figure out what they’ll be.

Kachelle O’Connor and Betty Davis weren’t afraid to show their creative colors, dressing in green tutus, bowties and hats.

O’Connor got to see just the kind of support her teammates showed for the bold idea.

“I’m just grateful because I had the bag of their stuff and I was afraid I was going to have to do it by myself and they were going to say, ‘No, I hope you have your receipt; let’s take it back’, but they were troopers, they were great sports because they like to have fun and we like to play good golf but we like to have

a great time doing it and look adorable.”

“Aren’t they cute?” Judy Weisser of ‘group’ Tee No. 18B said about O’Connor’s team’s tutus.

The double-eagle scorer at Hole 16 went on to compliment the turnout for “Fifty Shades of Green” tournament, saying, “It’s been a ball. It’s been fun.

Everybody dressed for it. The greens are blinding.”

The Fox Den tournament ended with an awards ceremony.

Karen Jones walked away with a $125 gift certificate to K-Town Specialty after finding the winning sticker on the bottom of her seat.

Family fun at Free Fishing Day ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

The fish were biting for families and friends attending Free Fishing Day. The annual event was presented by Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Knox County Parks and Recreation and Tennessee Valley Sportsman Club Saturday, June 6, at The Cove at Concord Park, 11808 S. Northshore Drive.

It provided area families a chance to fish permit-free.

“It’s a beautiful day to be fishing,” Jason Anderson of Farragut said. “The weather is perfect.”

Anderson brought his daughters, Ana, 9, and Lauren, 7.

“Ana’s been here before,” he said.

“I like talking about fishing while I wait for a bite,” the 9-year-

old said.

TWRA stocked catfish in the pond and supplied fishing equipment to attendees during the event, Sgt. Joe Durnin, event organizer with TWRA, said.

“Things are going well,” Sgt. Russell Young, TWRA fisheries technician, said. He estimated TWRA officers handed out about 100 fishing poles to attendees.

“I’m not sure the number of people who brought their own,” he said, adding the number of attendees trickled in and out of the park as the day progressed.

We just hope people are having fun,” he said.

“Awesome,” Charles Rowe Jr., 10, of Farragut said. “I caught my See FREE FISHING on Page 5C

Farragut area senior citizens had an opportunity to learn more about services available to them during a Senior Expo.

The Senior Expo, which took place Wednesday, June 3, at Frank R. Strang Senior Center, 109 Lovell Heights Road, was the first such

event for the center, Lauren Monahan, coordinator, said.

She estimated about 200 attended the Expo.

“They were busting the doors down,” Monahan said. “I knew this [event] was gold. It’s going to be fun.”

first fish.

Charles Rowe Sr. of Farragut said he has been taking his son since he was little but Saturday’s catch was the first one the 10year-old had ever caught.

“They love to fish, so when we get an opportunity to go to a free fishing day, we go,” Stephen Peairs of Farragut said of his sons, Gavin, 2 and Garrett, 4.

Leslie Musto of Knoxville said her daughters, MacKenzie and Kylie, her mother, Pat DuPree, and she came to the event for a chance to catch fish.

“We’ve been coming for six years,” she said. “We haven’t caught one but we keep trying.

My daughter, MacKenzie, likes coming out here to catch fish.”

“I think it’s pretty awesome,” Billy Inman Jr., 12, of Knoxville, said about the Free Fishing Day. “Last year I got [a fish] and this year I got one. I hope to catch two.”

Dylan Cook, 14, of Jefferson County said coming to Free Fishing Day was a tradition. This year marks his third year in a row he and his friends have attended.

“It’s gone pretty well so far,” he said.

“It’s exciting when you have a fish that grabs onto your line,” Evan Hartsell, 11, of Knoxville, said.

Pickleball debuts in Farragut area ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

While trying to help promote a growing sport in their View Harbor subdivision in Concord, Joe and Karen Carson have been testing the famous phrase from the movie “Field of Dreams:” “build it and they will come.”

Having already built a two-goal 60-by-40-foot basketball court 15 years ago for public use in their backyard, Joe decided in early May, with Karen’s blessing, to line off the court to also become a public use pickleball court (40by-22-foot).

“This was definitely Joe’s idea,” Karen Carson said about the roughly $500 conversion, adding she was “a reluctant agreer …

I’m more conservative with the money.”

However, “I love having some-

thing we can do outside and have fun and not have to go somewhere,” she added. “I enjoy it. I think we’ll have fun at it.”

A combination of “ping pong, badminton and tennis” played on a court roughly half the size of tennis dimensions according to Joe Carson, pickleball has become a growing sport among those 50-and-over since the early 2000s.

Just add a “tennis height” net of three feet, while having pickleball paddles (more than twice the size of ping pong paddles) and a plastic ball (resembling a whiffle ball used with plastic bats in stickball) and the Carsons’ court is ready for public use.

“About a year ago I read in the paper where they had converted some of the [tennis] courts in Tellico Village to pickleball because tennis courts weren’t

being used that much. Pickleball courts were getting a lot of use so they converted a few more to pickleball,” Joe Carson said.

“And then I read a little bit about pickleball … and it’s more for people that are past their [athletic] prime. It’s not as demanding as tennis.”

Inspired to build a public-use basketball court in his backyard to give neighborhood youth a place to play, Carson recalled that while growing up in Brooklyn “some of my happiest memories as a teenager were going out and playing pick-up basketball on the playgrounds.”

Although saying his public use hoop court hadn’t caught on “as much as I’d hoped,” Joe Carson added, “Kids shoot regularly, kids come by and play” without any See PICKLEBALL on Page 10C

Farragut turns out for Rain Barrel workshop

■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Farragut area residents turned out to learn more about the benefits of and how to install rain barrels.

Town of Farragut partnered with Knox County Water Quality Forum to host a Rain Barrel Workshop Saturday morning, June 13, in Farragut Town Hall.

By attending, each participant received a 55-gallon rain barrel and learned how to install and maintain it.

“This has been a popular program,” Jason Scott, Farragut Stormwater Management coordinator, said. He added the Town has been doing the workshops since 2008.

“Farragut [housing] is booming,” Scott said, adding more houses lead to fewer areas for

water to run off, except onto the streets and stormwater drains.

“What goes into the storm drains goes into the Tennessee River or into a sewage system, where it is treated,” he said. Rain barrels, Scott said, can help reduce some of that run-off.

While some attendees said they came to find a solution to their water problems, others said they were looking for a cheaper source for buying a rain barrel.

Cheryl Rodgers of Knoxville said she knew much about the benefits of installing a rain barrel. She said water from the rain barrel tends to have not as much “stuff” as treated water from a garden hose.

“The garden does not grow as well as water from the garden hose,” Rodgers said, adding she learned from the workshop how much water she could conserve

by using a rain barrel.

Mary Ball, who attended as a Boys and Girls Club representative, said she came to the workshop to see if having a rain barrel would suit the Boys and Girls Club’s needs.

“We don’t have an outdoor water source,” Ball said, adding the club was introduced to the rain barrel concept and she came to explore that possibility.

“This [workshop] I great,” Annie Gray, Pellissippi State Community College English professor and Service Learning program coordinator, said. “We have a lot of interest at Pellissippi State on sustainability.”

“We have a huge sustainability campus initiative on our campuses, and we have a huge ServiceLearning program, a type of expeSee RAIN BARREL on Page 12C

Knoxville said. “I came to know about so many different things I didn’t know about before.”

“We invited any agency that works with seniors to put up a table and tell what they do,” Monahan said, adding about 40 agencies participated.

“In two hours, I didn’t have any more room,” Monahan said. “We have everything from transportation to caregivers, real estate, CPAs, chiropractors and health screenings.”

Besides the information available, the center provided refreshments as well.

While some came for the information, others said they came for the food or “goodies.”

“It would be nice to see all these goodies,’ Doris Bianucci of Knoxville said.

John May of Knoxville said he came for the freebies.

Monahan said the event came about because she wanted to showcase all the offerings these senior agencies have.

“We’ve had one or two but I’ve never had them all together,” Monahan said. “It’s a nice way to get everyone together.”

“I didn’t expect a response this great,” she said. “The nice part is every table has a door prize to give away, but the grand prize is a $100 gift certificate.”

Attendees could win a gift certificate for a car wash and their choice of any the University of Tennessee Volunteers basketball game as well.

Leanette Coyne of Farragut said she came to the center for the exercise and saw the Expo taking place.

“I think it’s a real good thing.

It’s convenient,” she said. “I come here a lot,” she said. “I thought while I was here I might as well get checked [with the health screenings].”

Bernie and Aggie Wallace enjoyed what might be called a 50th wedding anniversary weekend enjoying one of their favorite entertainment pleasures: Second Saturday Concert Series at The Cove at Concord Park.

“It’s just enjoying people having fun, and good old-timey music,” Bernie said about this June 13 gathering, the first Second Saturday Concert of the 2015 season (through Sept. 12).

“And we like to watch the dogs, the dogs are so friendly and having a good time,” Aggie said. “This is special.”

Bernie and Aggie said they have attended almost all Second Saturday Concerts, seven years worth, since moving to West Knox County from the Reading, Pa., area.

They were among a few hun-

dred on hand during a sunny but hot evening to enjoy classic rock hits from the group Second Opinion.

“We’ve heard them before and we like them,” Aggie said about Second Opinion. “I can’t think of any we didn’t like.”

“They’re one of our favorites,” Bernie added.

Although Bernie said, “More often that not it’s just us two” attending Second Saturday, Aggie added, “I have some knitting

friends that come out sometimes”.

However, on this Second Saturday, “They’re all going to Secret City tonight to hear Three Dog Night,” she said.

Cindy Van Dyke, a 1981 graduate of Farragut High School, was alongside her mother, Judy Van Dyke, a Bearden High School graduate, and family friend, Gina Pack, a Farragut High School graduate.

While daughter said one of best things about Second Saturday Concert is “free entertainment,”

Judy added, “It’s outside.”

Cindy said her family “has been coming for several years.”

“I like to watch people having a really good time,” Judy said.

“They’re having picnics and they’re having fun, that’s what I get out of it.

“I used to bring my husband. He was in a wheelchair,” Judy added about her husband, the late Thomas Van Dyke. “We really miss him, he loved to come over here, too.

“… His birthday was on June 9.

We have actually been here on June 9 and had his birthday party here.”

“Our granddaughter [Megan Bright], she’s 23 now, and we’ve actually had her birthday party down here before.”

Pack was a first-time Second Saturday Concert attendee. “I like it. The music’s really good. Of course, I get to be with my friends,” she said.

Hole-In-One turns into family affair ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

After Glyn Hughes of Farragut saw a sign promoting Second Annual Farragut Lions Club Hole-In-One Shootout, his family would end up comprising one-third of the shootout field.

“I saw it advertised on the side of the road on the way to Ingles,” Hughes said about how his family ended up taking part in qualifying rounds before he, wife, Denise, and daughters, Eiri-anwen and Teleri Hughes, earned their tries at Willow Creek Golf Club’s No. 11 hole (177 yards) Friday evening, June 12. A hole-in-one would have meant ownership of a Mercedes-Benz Smart Car. “I said to my wife, ‘Let’s go try it.’ We all went different days” to qualify. … Some of the girls from Farragut High School [golf team] were helping out, and we knew some of the girls,” added Glyn, whose younger daughter, Teleri, was a former Lady Admirals star player now a member of the Tennessee Volunteers Women’s Golf team.

“She just got back from playing in the Welsh Ladies Amateur” in May, Denise said about Teleri.

While none of the Hughes

family members said they had ever nailed a hole-in-one in any type of golf contest, Glyn added, “Today would be a good day to get one.”

Though none of the Hughes family, nor any of the other six qualifiers on hand Friday nailed the hole-in-one, Teleri’s drive was closest, about 10 feet from the hole.

The Hughes foursome were four of 12 who qualified during “closest to the pin” rounds Friday and Saturday, May 29-30 and June 5-6, in a field next to farragutpress office, 11863 Kingston Pike. (Two of the 12 were unable to be at Willow Creek Friday).

Glyn, Eirianwen and Teleri all were quick to point out that Denise’s qualifying drive “was closest to the pin, about two feet-nine inches.”

Before the Shootout, “I hadn’t played in three years,” Eirianwen said. “I was kind of reluctant because I hadn’t played in so long.

“But I got into the swing of things.”

Other qualifiers were Chip Thomas, Jesse Hawkins, John Covington, Sidney Hankins, Joe McConnell and Wes Clenney.

Pickleball From page 6C

notice needed to the Carsons.

However, “Kids today don’t do pick-up [basketball] the way I did pick-up when I was a young man,” Carson added.

With pickleball as an option, “Now maybe some of the [baby] boomers will do some pick-up again, pick up pickleball,” Carson said. “In fact, they have picked up pickleball a couple of times a week at City of Knoxville rec centers.”

Rules are similar to tennis except points only are earned while serving, and no volleys are allowed within 10 feet of the net.

Returns of serve must also bounce before being returned. Games are to 11, win by at least two points.

As of late May, the only pickleball games have mostly been between the Carsons, with Joe, a safety oversight engineer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, holding a 2-1 edge against Karen, a pediatric nurse and Dist-rict 5 representative on Knox County Board of Education.

For anyone interested in using the Carsons’ pickleball court, or possibly arranging a game versus Joe or Karen (when her shoulder improves), go online to http://whsknox.blogs.com/pickleball

The Rotary Club of Farragut presented its Service Above Self Award to Knoxville Fire Department senior firefighter Cory Darnell, center, during its Wednesday, June 3, meeting. Tom Touzeau, left, was out running on a greenway trail along Melton Hill Lake Drive near the Oak Ridge Marina Jan. 5, 2014, when Darnell saw Touzeau lying facedown on the running trail in full cardiac arrest. Darnell began CPR immediately and is credited for saving his life. Also on hand was KFD chief Stan Sharp, right.

Dale Read (not pictured), club president for the 2015-16 Rotary year, presented the Service Above Self plaque to Darnell and a $100 gift certificate to a Knoxville restaurant.

Cheryl Rodgers, a Fountain City area resident, said she attended town of Farragut’s Rain Barrel Workshop Saturday, June 13, at Farragut Town Hall to find a cheaper rain barrel source.

riential learning facility we use to teach course skills and concepts in a hands-on way,” Gray said.

Pellissippi State Community College students have partnered with the Town on building a community garden at the Town’s

Outdoor Classroom off North Campbell Station Road.

“We want to use sustainable agricultural practices, so a lot of us are going to school on what the town of Farragut is doing,” Gray said.

Scott said the workshop allowed the Town and Knox County Water Quality Forum to do something that improved

water quality and educated area residents on conservation and rainwater harvesting benefits.

Since the rain barrel initiative, Scott said nearly 3,000 rain barrels have been distributed throughout the Knox County area. This provided about 150,000 gallons of stormwater runoff reduction.
