Rain threat didn’t dampen Independence Day parade spirit
■
ANTHONY ELIAS aelias@farragutpress.com
The 28th Annual Independence Day Parade on Saturday, July 4, was unlike any of the previous ones. “It’s threatened to rain [in the past], it’s been overcast, but I don’t ever remember [having rain],” parade participant Jeannie Sellars said. “It didn’t damper the spirits. There was a big turnout for it. And people look forward to it so much. We were bringing our truck down going over to the high school — this was at 8 a.m. this morning
— and there were already chairs set up along the parade route where people were saving their spots.” People were able to see this year’s Grand Marshal, Helen Ashe, twin sister of the late Ellen Turner and co-founder of the Love Kitchen, leading the parade. The joyful Abbeville, S.C., native sat up in the passenger seat of the leading Mitsubishi and said she was “in another world.” As for the parade behind Ashe, some viewers noticed a larger line behind the grand marshal. From horseback riding and
remote-control cars to Lady Liberties and American flag sunglasses, the parade saw all sorts of creativity — in the parade or viewing — put to work. According to Town of Farragut Public Relations coordinator Chelsey Riemann, “at least 70 of our approximately 90 entries still participated.” “I thought it was great,” parade spectator Lisa Copeland said. “Looks like there’s more in the parade this year, it seems like; more participation.” “[It’s] nice to see patriotic See PARADE on Page 3A

Edmonds new principal at FMS ■
ANTHONY ELIAS aelias@farragutpress.com
Farragut Middle School named Weston “Wes” Edmonds its new principal Friday, June 26. Edmonds, the former assistant principal, will be taking over responsibilities from his predecessor, Danny Trent, on a job he says he’s “built for.” “I even started as a teacher here at Farragut High [School] back in 2004,” Edmonds said. “I was a teacher and a girl’s basketball coach for eight years. In that time, starting off as a firstyear teacher, I got to know the community pretty well and coaching, I got to know a lot of community members and was very engaged in that.” Edmonds became well-known in the Farragut community with his work on the court with Farragut’s girls high school basketball team. In the eight years he spent on the coaching staff, four were spent as the head coach leading the Lady Admirals to an 82-33 record with two consecutive Class AAA sectional appearances.
Edmonds left FHS a year later after being hired by Trent at Central High School. “He was a mentor for me,” Edmonds said. “A really visionary leader kind of guy. [He is] always pushing everybody and trying to get the most out of people. At the same time, a very family-oriented individual; very supportive of your need to your family and doing what’s best for your family, but also expecting the best out of your work. So it was just an honor to work for him for the three years that I did.” Edmonds moved back to Farragut a year later after Trent was named principal at FMS and brought the former FHS teacher with him. The former social studies teacher took over as athletic director. Edmonds and Trent worked alongside one another for another two years before Edmonds took over, but not without his mentor being close by. “We have a very good relationship,” Edmonds said. “We talk about everyday; multiple times a day since I was appointed. I think that part of my appoint-

ment was that Trent would be invested in really helping make sure that I was successful here. Making sure that Farragut Middle School keeps on being as
successful as it is. So, yes, we’re in constant communication.” Edmonds said his likeliest challenge will be the increase in students he’s seeing.

Families and individuals from the Farragut area and beyond gathered to celebrate Independence Day early at the Red, White & Blues Pre-Independence Day Picnic. The event, sponsored by TDS Telecom and co-sponsored by Farragut Business Alliance and town of Farragut, took place Friday, July 3, at Renaissance | farragut. It featured multiinstrumentalist Casey Abrams in concert, which was sponsored by Tennova Health Systems. More highlights of the event included patriotic tunes by Concord Brass, food, beverages, a watermelon-eating contest and
free children’s activities, such as GameTruck, face painting, Briks 4 Kidz and more. “I’m really pleased with the turnout, especially considering the weather,” Allison Sousa, FBA executive director, said. “We come every year,” Amy Kilpatrick of Farragut said, adding she loves the community atmosphere of the Red, White & Blues event. “It’s a good way to start the Independence Day celebration,” Kilpatrick’s husband, Blake, said. The concert featuring Abrams proved a regional draw, Sousa said. “People are excited,” Sousa added. “I got calls from Nashville, Bristol and Soddy
Daisy, that I know of.” ”It’s really fun,” Emilie McNatt of Farragut said about the picnic. “I’m here to see Casey Abrams.” Likewise, Marilyn Everett and Steven Everett of Soddy Daisy said they came to see Abrams. “We’re happy you are here,” Abrams told the crowd. During the concert, Abrams moved his music from the stage to the center of the crowd as he performed “Georgia on My Mind.” “I really like the blues,” Jane Andreaco of Farragut said. “That’s why I came.” Since Farragut High School Band was busy preparing for the Independence Day Parade in Farragut, Lenoir City High See BLUES on Page 3A

Dr. Joseph Rick Kalister, 56, wife, Betty Hall Kalister, 52, and daughter, Nicole Marie Kalister, 18, died as a result of a plane crash Sunday, June 28, in the Boston area. Dr. Kalister was emergency room direcDr. Kalister tor at Starr Regional Medical Center, and he volunteered as a McMinn County Sheriff’s Office reserve deputy, assigned as a medic to MCSO SWAT team. Lt. Eric Allman, who supervises detectives and patrol for the sheriff’s office, said Kalister was a fighter pilot and experienced airman with the U.S. Air Force but was humble about it. “He didn’t brag about that sort of thing at all,” Allman said of Kalister. “He was a humble person, and he was reliable. “If anyone had a medical question about their family, they would call Dr. Kalister because he made himself available to everybody,” Allman said. “He was a kind guy. He would give the shirt off his back. “He usually flew some of our
guys to different schools for training,” Allman said of Kalister. Area residents who took yoga at Farragut Town Hall, as well as Town staff, knew Betty Kalister from those classes. “Betty started teaching yoga for the town of Farragut in 2 0 1 2 , ” Lauren Cox, Betty special events and program coordinator for Farragut Parks & Leisure Services. “Her classes were always full. “She was a wonderful instructor,” Cox said. “The thing that made her special was that she loved each and every Nicole one of her students.

FHS Principal Stephanie Thompson said she learned of the plane to rain, but the sun is out and there is a little bit of wind,” Knick Myers of Myers Bros.

MacIntosh said he and Laymon graduated in 1959 from high school in Covington. The two get together five times a year and attend ball games and other events like Red, White & Blues. “Every time I come up, we look for things to do. We just act like a couple of teenagers,” MacIntosh said.

Unlike most parades in Farragut, though, umbrellas and raincoats were the trend along Kingston Pike. The rain was off and on before it showered the parade’s finish, but did little to dampen the town’s patriotic energy. “It’s the largest 4th of July parade in the state,” Wayne
Sellars, president of the Concord Farragut Republican Club, said about the Independence Day parade. “We really enjoy coming down to see it and it’s kind of a family gathering. [You get to see] old friends and you get to see a lot of people you haven’t seen.” “We’ve never missed one; we’ve always participated,” Jeannie Sellars said. “See, we do an entry. We always have our business in it. Then we watch the rest of the parade. So we love participating in it.”

letterstotheeditor Setting the record straight As the current president of the Fox Run Home Owners Association, I would like to correct the record regarding a 2 July “ presstalk” comment. The Fox Run HOA has never issued a statement on behalf of the neighborhood regarding the proposed re-zoning request by Continental Properties, however, this project was discussed at the May 26 HOA monthly board meeting. There were a variety of opinions reflected by the Board, and as a result, homeowners were “encouraged to attend town of Farragut meetings to gain more information and to comment, as individual residents.” Joleen Dewald Fox Run Village Green pool questioned The call by the Village Green Homeowners Association Board for a July 12 vote to approve
special assessments totaling $1.47 million over the next eight-year period is premature and should be cancelled. It represents poor project planning and bad business practices. The homeowners are being asked to approve the collection of these funds without any formal resolution or other approved Board commitment as to exactly what these special assessment funds will be spent for. At this point in time, the Board could spend the funds for whatever it wishes and in any amount it wishes for any of the proposed recreational facilities it has envisioned without any further approval from the residents. There are no design drawings, blueprints, or specifications for any of the envisioned facilities. There is not even an artist’s rendering of what the proposed facilities will look like. Accordingly, there have been no firm bids by reliable, reputable, contractors quoting exact costs for each of the proposed facilities, nor time
of completion estimates nor guarantees of quality performance. The estimated costs of the new facilities included in recent information sent to homeowners by the Board are “guesstimates” at best, based on Board conversations with unnamed persons in the Knoxville area. There have been no studies on the environmental impacts of increased wastewater discharge of a larger swimming pool, the effects of increased traffic flow on the neighborhood streets, nor the effects of increased lighting and noise levels on homes in the immediate vicinity of the new facilities. Without the results of such studies, the Board might take actions, which could expose homeowners to costly litigation. Board statements about the demise of the present swimming pools are greatly exaggerated. Although more than 45 years old, the pools are presently operable, and most of the perceived problems are cosmetic in
nature. Several years ago, the Board increased regular annual homeowner assessments by an additional $75 to be included in a Capital Improvements Fund for maintaining these pools and other Village facilities in top condition. This additional $34,500 per year was to make repairs and replacements not included in annual maintenance expenditures. Because the present Board has not issued audited financial statements for the 2014-year, which ended this past December, one cannot determine the present balance in the Capital Improvements Fund or the nature of expenditures from the Fund. Certainly, the use of such set-aside funds would go along way in remedying any serious problems with the existing pools. Homeowners also should be aware that that building the new facilities will increase the present annual assessments of $295 by $100 to $150 per year to provide for the increased opera-
presstalk
tion and maintenance of those facilities, and an appropriate increase in the Capital Improvements Fund. The total of future regular and special assessments could easily increase to more than $800 per year. The Board’s reported “straw poll” of Village homeowners who approved of the proposed new facilities was a seemingly biased survey of far less than all of the total 460 households in the Village. The urgency of the Board’s push for new facilities is unwarranted. The Board’s call for $1.47 million in unobligated funds at this time is unjustified, based on the non-existence of firm plans and costs for the proposed new recreational facilities. The July 12 vote to approve the special assessments should be cancelled. William L. Perry 44-year resident of Village Green

• There are at least two sides to a situation. I’ve lived in Village Green [subdivision] and now Wyndham Hall [subdivision] for 39 years — Concord then Farragut. I’m now at an older point in my life and my circumstances indicate that I should downsize and rent a small apartment. Naturally, I want to remain in the same area where my family, friends, church and community are. This is a traumatic move for me. So I want to look forward to this next phase of my life. Of course I would like to continue the same lifestyle during my retirement years. I think Farragut should offer choices without lowering its standards. • I’m calling about the person who wrote in to presstalk last week about the Village Green
[subdivision] swimming pool who says [presstalk] was always biased. His comment that there were almost 200 of us who signed a straw poll ballot who said they wanted a larger pool. Well, my friend, No. 1, nobody asked me and nobody asked anybody else I know who I asked in the subdivision if they ever saw that straw poll. And even if had, you have to know 200 is less than half the population of the subdivision. There are over 460 homes in the subdivision. So that’s not really a resounding majority, is it? We need to get real on this folks. It’s not the rebuilding of the pool; it’s the scope of the thing and the catering and [gerry]mandering to the swim team. Vote no. • I would like to see more Village Green homeowners inter-
viewed on the story about the “Village Green residents battle over pool assessment.” There are a number of people, if you go around and knock on a few doors, I think you will find that there are a number of people who will go on the record and talk about their concerns about the project. • I’m calling about the article in the farragutpress about “Village Green residents battle over pool assessment.” I’m a resident there and I understand the need for another pool. They are old and like many people I support that, but I am just concerned over the size of the pool that we’re going overboard on it and why not just close down the Monticello pool? I guess I’m concerned too that in the article the Association’s vice president said
it really wasn’t for the swim team, but then he is quoted saying with only five lanes for competition at the Monticello, it’s small and shallow, adding a new pool will have eight lanes. Well sorry sir, but that kind of tells me you really are building that massive pool for the swim team and that’ why I object to it and I think some other people also. • I wanted to comment about the townview in the farragutpress about our new logo of “LIVE CLOSER GO FURTHER farragut.” No. 1 it’s interesting the word “farragut” is not capitalized, but talking to people you will find that most people who live within the city limits of Farragut say they live in Knoxville. We have friends in all the different areas and every
time you ask them where do you live, they say Knoxville. We have friends, who ask us where we live because it used to be Concord, then it was Knoxville, and we always put Farragut because we’re proud to live in Farragut. We also are not recognized anywhere that you call a place or set up an account with Amazon or any of those types of places, they come up 37934 Knoxville. We don’t get fire protection, we don’t get free garbage, we don’t get police protection, we don’t get free trash pickup, we have to pay for Rural Metro, we don’t have fire and police and I just think it’s very interesting, we need to work on getting people to realize that Farragut is a place to be proud of. We need to say, we live in Farragut, Tenn., not Knoxville.

Farragut welcomes Staybridge ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
About 150 people from the Farragut area turned out to congratulate Stokely Company on its grand opening of Staybridge Suites Knoxville-West in Farragut. The grand opening, which took place Tuesday, June 9, at the new hotel at 1139 Campbell Lakes Drive, Farragut, gave the community an opportunity to tour the site and meet the hotel’s officials. “We’re very proud to introduce this property to the town of Farragut,” William “Bill” Stokely, CEO of the Stokely Company, said. “We believe it’s a beautiful extended-stay hotel in an ideal location of Turkey Creek.” Among those who attended the opening were Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett and U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan Jr. “Staybridge Suites is a great addition to the Farragut community, as it offers visitors yet another reason to stay overnight and enjoy all that our area has to offer,” McGill said. “I think it’s wonderful,” Burchett said about the hotel’s opening. “Growth within our Knox County’s travel and tourism industry continues to be an economic development asset. “The addition of top-notch hotel properties, like the Staybridge Suites Knoxville-West, make Knox County even more appealing to travelers who are visiting our area for both business and pleasure. Duncan said for the first time in history, Tennessee tourism topped 100 million visitors. “As you all know, tourism makes a tremendous economic impact on our nation,” he said. “Increases in visitor volume
translate into increases in Tennessee revenues.” Duncan added those who are traveling for business or pleasure can stay at Staybridge Suites. Tracy Porier, Staybridge Suites director of sales, said the hotel features 101 smartly-designed and spacious rooms that are all suites. “Every suite has fully equipped kitchens with refrigerators, icemakers, microwaves, stovetops and dishwashers,” Porier said. “These suites are ideal for the long-term traveler, as well as families.” The hotel in Farragut is the first Staybridge in the Knoxville area but not the first hotel from Stokely Company. Stokely said the company also owns Edgewater Hotel in Gatlinburg “We had this land for development,” Stokely said about the Farragut site, adding he looked at the success of the Turkey Creek area. “We thought it was an outstanding product,” he said. Stokely credited Andrea White, president of Stokely Company, as the driving force behind getting the hotel opened. “We’re appreciative of all our partners in the industry who helped make the Staybridge

Proposed development faces road concerns ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress
Bryan E. Testerman received some good news and bad news concerning his attempts to develop a subdivision at 430 Virtue Road. While Testerman would have little problem having the property redesignated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and rezoned, he is facing the cost of improvements to Virtue Road. “The road is going to have to be dealt with as part of the development,” Mark Shipley, Farragut Community Development director, said. “That would affect the rezoning.” “That road is a big deal,” Testerman said during a Farragut Municipal Planning Commission meeting May 21. “I’m not in the road business myself. I’m a home builder.” Testerman, who is considering buying the 87.1 acres off Virtue Road, submitted a request to amend town of Farragut’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan from medium-density residential to open space cluster residential and
its zoning from agriculture to R-1 Open Space Residential. So far, the requests have not been withdrawn, Shipley said Tuesday, July 7. “Basically, the property is the Harville property off of Virtue Road,” Shipley said. “To the north is Sugarwood and to the south is Kingsgate.” Shipley said Virtue Road, similar to Everett Road, does not meet Town standards as a major collector road. “We do have a plan in place [on Everett Road],’ he said. “We’re getting ready to improve that road. We don’t have that in place for this road. It would have to be brought up to the standards that we require in our subdivision regulations.” Those improvements would include pedestrian facilities along the frontage. “The staff would not support any rezoning of the property without the noted improvements to Virtue Road,” he said, adding a traffic impact study is required also. “We’ve already had two or three meetings with [Darryl Smith, Town engineer],” Testerman said.

Bryan E. Testerman of Knoxville faces expenses to improve Virtue Road if he builds a housing development at 430 Virtue Road. Testerman applied for an amendment to Farragut’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan and a rezoning request for that site. So far, the requests have not been withdrawn.
“He’s supposed to come up with some estimates on this road, and I’ve not heard a word yet. “We’re talking about a piece of property we don’t know will be developed.” Shipley said Smith has put together a proposal but the staff is still looking at it. “I think a month ought to be adequate to come up with an estimate,” Testerman said. “No one is holding you to it. I think I deserve

the same respect you all want from me. “I sit and listen to what you demand of other people. I think you all ought to do the same.” “In all due respect, I don’t think it’s an easy calculation to determine what the cost to improve that road is,” Commissioner Noah Myers said. “We’ve tried to shotgun our improvements before and our numbers have been significant off. We just want it to be fair.”

Rain slows FHS track project ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
The Farragut High School track is undergoing a facelift. Work began on Monday, July 6, and will continue through midAugust. That’s if the weather cooperates. The project is already behind schedule due to rainstorms that pelted the Farragut area last week. The project was slated to begin on Wednesday, July 1, but inclement weather delayed work until Monday and FHS athletic director Donald Dodgen said that the track must be completed by the start of the 2015 high school football season. “The track will be closed to the public until mid-August,” Dodgen said. “But it has to be finished by the time we have our first football game. “I’m not moving any games.” The FHS football team opens its 2015 campaign on the road at Powell Friday, Aug. 21, before hosting Gibbs at Bill Clabo Field Friday, Aug. 28. The track is undergoing its
first major renovation in nearly two decades. “They’re redoing the whole track,” Dodgen said. “It’s been nearly 20 years since it’s been done. I think the last time was either 1998 or 1999.” The project was approved on July 1 by the Knox County Board of Education. The cost of the project is $295,000 and is being completed by Baseline Sports Construction, LLC in Knoxville according to Knox County Schools spokesperson Melissa Ogden. The project also is part of the Knox County Schools Capital Improvement Plan, which was approved by the Board of Education earlier this month. The cost of the renovation includes the resurfacing of the track as well as a retaining wall. Baseline Construction Company recently built the Sansom Emerald Youth Sports Complex, a seven-acre soccer facility off Dale Avenue, the Knoxville Force and Lady Force semi-pro soccer teams’ home field. That complex also is home to Emerald Youth Foundation’s

soccer and flag football teams and is slated to host the Knox County High School Girls Soccer Jamboree in August.
The track will be resurfaced from scratch. “They’re taking out the whole thing,” Dodgen said. “They’re
going to put in a new concrete slab and then we’ll have a rubberized track.

Before Saturday morning, July 4, Jordan Burdette had said his strategy was determined based on the time of year. The Farragut High School alum’s strategy in the overnight stretch at the 7th annual Gary Lindsey Firecracker Fishing Tournament, July 3-4, at Tellico
Dam — he felt — should have placed him in the top five. However, the weather and dam had other ideas and, when Burdette finally came back from his overnight tournament, the competitive edge — that helped him and partner Casey Manji finish 17th out of 175 other boats, nonetheless — showed, saying he See BURDETTE on Page 7A

Farragut High School officially welcomed the newest member of its coaching family Monday night. The school ushered in the Ray Dover era Monday night with a reception at Milestones Event Center. Dover, a 2000 FHS graduate, was hired last month to replace Wallie Culbreth as the Admirals’ boys soccer coach. He was welcomed to Farragut by returning soccer players, parents, Lady Ads’ coach Dennis Lindsay, athletic director Donald Dodgen and principal Stephanie Thompson. “This is a great welcome home party for me,” said Dover, who most recently served as an assistant coach at Knoxville Catholic High School under Gordon Heins. “I would like to thank my parents, all of you and Gordon Heins. “I wouldn’t be here without Gordon. He was my club coach and he gave me the opportunity at Catholic.”

Ray Dover, left, formally met the FHS boys soccer team Monday, July 6, at Milestones Event Center.
Dover said that he wasn’t surprised by the warm welcome he received from the Admiral family. “I grew up here and this is a great community,” he said. “They just do things like this.” During his playing days at Farragut, Dover played for Lindsay (who remains the girls coach) and Lindsay remembered Dover as a star player and great person. “This is the first time that I’m
seen him in a while,” Lindsay said of his former star who served as a team captain and was an allKnoxville Interscholastic League standout. “He was a great player and he was a good kid too. “He scored a goal in the State Championship Game and he started after that.” Dover’s Farragut roots run deep and Dodgen once taught See DOVER on Page 7A

Burdette From page 6A
“hated to sound like a sore loser,” but he preferred a better finish. “Last night got a little bit difficult on us,” Burdette said. “The weather muddied-up our boat. Unfortunately after getting several inches of rain throughout the week, the upper end of Fort Loudoun where we were planning on going was real, real muddy, so fish aren’t biting very good; the water temperature dropped several degrees and it just made our bite tough so we actually had to scrap our entire game plan and do something different and last night was a product of just our knowledge of the lake just ‘fly-offthe-seat-of-our-pants-type’ of fishing.” The FHS fishing team founder, though, saw a plus in Saturday’s finish: his alternative game-planning. “It’s always a good feeling to completely scrap a game plan and still be able to cash a check. We were hoping to catch some-
thing a little better based on what we’ve been catching the last few years and also the last few weeks, but you know it doesn’t always happen like that; you can’t fish a perfect tournament.” The event honors late local angler Gary Lindsey who died in a boating accident in 2009. Proceeds from the event are split between the Smoky Mountain Service Dogs group, which helps disabled American veterans, and the Blount Special Operations Response Team, which does rescue dives to recover important items lost underwater and ground search missions.

have Ray join the Farragut family as a coach,” she said. “What Ray brings is not only a high expectation; he has a vision of growing student athletes into soccer players and great young men. “We’re a grower of young men of character.” Thompson said that Dover handled a rigorous interview process. “That’s a testament to the kind of person that we wanted to head our boys soccer program,” Thompson said. Monday night was Dover’s first opportunity to meet some returners from Farragut’s 2015 squad that lost in the Region 2-AAA semifinals to Oak Ridge and he
told those returners that he will build a culture of accountability and poise. “We are going to be poised when we deal with officials,” he said. “If we have a bad call go against us in the State Championship Game, we’re going to overcome it. “We’re going to have a culture of accountability and winning comes with that culture of accountability. We’re going to be everywhere 10 minutes early. If practice starts at 10 after four, and it will, we’re going to be here are 4 o’clock with our shirts tucked in and we’re going to be ready to go.”

2nd Annual Guardians for Garrett Dodgeball tournament July 31 ■ ANTHONY ELIAS
aelias@farragutpress.com
Scott and Kelli Jablonski have learned two very important things in six years: patience and, as Scott Jablonski said, “if you’re having a bad day, it’s not so bad.” Their 6 year-old son, Garrett, was diagnosed in January 2014 with a rapidly degenerative and terminal illness called Sanfilippo Syndrome or MPS III A, named after one of the doctors who described the condition in 1963. “Cells in the body break down then there’s enzymes in the body
that get rid of the cells,” Scott Jablonski said. “He doesn’t produce the enzymes. Therefore the dead cells build up in his body and it’ll affect his speech, his motor skills, eating ability, he’ll inevitably go into a pediatric Alzheimer’s and then die.” The disease usually has three main stages: the child’s overactive behavior, the gradual loss of language and understanding, and a tendency to fall frequently, losing the ability to walk. Garrett’s positive energy around the house, however, has helped his parents see beyond
these obstacles. “He likes music,” Scott Jablonski said, “and he likes to laugh. And he loves his trampoline. Not a whole lot of jumping; he kind of just runs around on it.” Friends Holly and Chris DeFranco are helping the Jablonskis’s cause as they organize the 2nd Annual Guardians For Garrett Dodgeball Tournament held at Knoxville Volleyball Academy, starting at 5 p.m., Friday, July 31, and staring at 3 p.m., Saturday, August 1.

Danner retires after 30 years Bittersweet goodbye for the Concord United Methodist Church organist
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
For Terrissa “Terrye” Danner, retiring as organist at Concord United Methodist Church, Farragut, after serving for 30 years, is bittersweet. While she and her husband Larry Danner, are planning to travel she remembers those whom she accompanied on the organ and those with whom she served. To commemorate her service, CUMC’s adult choirs honored her with a dinner Tuesday, June 2, at Gettysvue Country Club. About 80 people attended the event. Among them were former and current ministers and music directors, Phylis Garrison, church member, said. “It was truly a joyous occasion,” Garrison added. “The choir gave a lovely party at Gettysvue,” Danner said. “They gave me a plaque, which is on the organ now. It’s one of the proudest things given to me.” Danner said she will have served the church for 30 years and five months when she leaves CUMC June 28. She first started playing in 1985. “This position was never a job; it was a way to give back my talent and to help lead in worship
every Sunday,” she said. “It’s been one of the biggest thrills to me.” During those 30 years, Danner has served with six senior ministers, eight associate ministers, three full-time choir directors, four music associates and four children’s choir directors. “I had the privilege of accompanying with some of the most talented, outstanding members in the area and beyond,” she said. Some of the performers who traveled to this area with whom she accompanied were Knoxville Symphony Orchestra members and opera singers. One of the highlights of those 30 years has been playing the church’s tracker pipe organ. “We have a fabulous tracker organ, an Opus 145, built by Karl Wilhelm from Quebec, Canada,” she said. “The tracker itself is a mechanical action organ. It was built for our sanctuary.” The instrument contains 32 ranks, two manuals, 1,650 pipes and 26 stops, Danner said. “It’s an absolutely gorgeous instrument,” she said. “It was installed in late fall 1997 and first played in December 1997.” Danner was the first to play the instrument at that church. “I was really kind of scared I wouldn’t meet the standard I had

set for mysef as a church organist, she said. So, she went back to study under The University of Tennessee School of Music’s Professor John Brock.”
Before getting the Tracker organ, the church had an electronic Seville organ. The Tracker organ had a different touch of the keyboard than
the electronic one, and the action of the Tracker instrument is different when she hit a note, See DANNER on Page 6B

ALAN SLOAN Special to farragutpress
Twelve-year-old Owen Cianciolo pointed out one huge benefit of attending Two Blues STEM Camp. “It keeps your brain alive during the summer so you’re not just sitting around wasting your brain on video games,” said Owen, a rising seventh grader at Farragut Middle School who attended his second consecutive Two Blues camp. A combined effort between the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics departments at Farragut High School and Hardin Valley Academy, this year’s camp was held at FHS Monday-Friday, June 15-19. It
drew 67 students who are rising second graders through rising seventh graders. “We were dissecting rats, and they’re pretty much the same as our body parts. It’s cool seeing something a little bit smaller than what you are, and cool seeing something you don’t get to see every day,” said Arriona Davis, an 11-year-old from Hardin Valley attending her third Two Blues STEM Camp. “We did some coding and we some fun experiments [including] carbon dioxide bubbles, and it was really fun. Dissecting a rat was a lot of fun,” Owen said. “We also did a hydraulic arm, which you can pick stuff up with and you can move it around with hydraulics.”
Two of roughly 50 high school volunteers were Emily Constantin, a rising junior at FHS, and Sydnie Toler, a rising FHS senior. “Math and science have always been a passion for me, and I love little kids,” Constantin said. “I baby-sit to make money so this was perfect. I was asked to because [Natalie] Sisk is one of my favorite teachers. I absolutely love it, I love helping out and I love learning new things.” Before becoming a volunteer for Two Blues last year, which was held at HVA, “I thought I’d be walking little kids to the bathroom,” Constantin said. “Instead, I get to learn new things every See STEM on Page 5B

Two Farragut actors will be performing with The WordPlayers, starting Friday, July 10 through Sunday, July, 12, in “The Spitfire Grill” at the Bijou Theatre. “The Spitfire Grill” is the story of Percy Talbott, a young woman who must overcome her past while searching for a new life which brings her to a mostly deserted Wisconsin town and a job at The Spitfire Grill. To keep

popular demand. “Even the people who didn’t register last year, like one of the sponsors, [said], ‘Is it coming up or what’s the information?’” Kelli Jablonski said. “I was going through e-mails from last year last night,” Holly DeFranco said. “and there was somebody from last year who had e-mailed us talking about it, saying they had a friend in Nashville who (said) people were talking in Nashville.” In the tournament debut’s last year, the adult-division champion, the DodgeFathers, gave its first place trophy to Garrett and the event raised over $20,000. “Everybody had a great time,”
the Spitfire from shutting down, the owner decides to raffle it off. Mail starts arriving by the wheelbarrow full and so things begin to really pick up at The Spitfire Grill. The town sees an economic turn because of the contest and in the midst of it all, Percy realizes she has finally found a home, something she’s always wanted. Audiences will be impacted by Percy’s journey of renewal and forgiveness. See SPITFIRE on Page 5B
Chris DeFranco said. “We had adults in fairy costumes, we had gangster-kind of outfits, and the most creative costume winners were dressed in German lederhosen. It should be bigger this year; I think last year, since it was the first year, people didn’t realize the amount of dress-up that some people could do.” An extra day and division were added this year; now there will be an 8-team 10-and-under, 8-team teen and a 24-team adult division bracket—increased from 18 teams last year. First-place prizes will be also be given out to top dodgeball teams, fundraisers and most creative. There will be competition, fundraising and creativity, but Scott Jablonski wants everyone to know what it’s really about.

I was talking to a good friend of mine who is definitely a BO (Born Organized), and I asked her, “Have you ever not written a thank you note for a gift or for having a meal at someone’s house and such?” She answered immediately, “Oh no! Never! Energy drain!” She’s a massage therapist and has studied a great deal in the holistic health field. She went on, “If I didn’t take care of a thank you as soon as possible, I wouldn’t be able to get my mind off the person. Pam Why would Young someone Make it not take Fun! care of it r i g h t away?” Well, Miss BO, here’s why! We’re creative. Our creativity gets in the way of getting a quickie thank you (it takes less than five minutes to write a thank you note, address an envelope and put a stamp on it) off in the mail. We were devastated! Years ago, my sister’s neighbor was killed in a freak accident (a tree fell on him in his backyard) and we were all devastated. His poor wife was left with three small children and our hearts were broken for the family. My sister spent an hour at the
Hallmark store looking for just the right sympathy card, but none seemed to fit the situation. She went home and called me saying she’d like to write her own sentiment and could I help her. Of course I was moved to be part of a thoughtful note to convey our sympathy. I told her to write something and I would make it rhyme. With the thought of a poetic epistle, she got the idea to apply her pen and ink techniques she’d learned in an art class she’d taken in high school. By the time she wrote the message and I made it rhyme, and she brushed up on her calligraphy skills and found just the right parchment paper and the perfect frame for the masterpiece, her friend had remarried! We hid behind a cereal display in the grocery store! She never got a single word from my sister or me! And the guilt we both carried caused us to hide behind cereal displays at the grocery store when we saw her and look the other way when passing in our cars. Once we got organized we decided, when you care enough to send the very best, let Hallmark do it! I was talking with my daughter Peggy today and I told her about the woman who felt guilty because she hadn’t sent out thank you notes for her wedding gifts. (Her wedding was 43 years ago and she’d been divorced for 39 years.) Peggy laughed and said, “Oh mom, I’ve never told you this before because
I’ve been too embarrassed, but I never sent out thank you notes for the baby shower for Jacob.” (Jacob turned 20 this year.) She continued, “I know what happened. I was eight and a half months pregnant at the shower and I decided that when the baby was born I’d dress him in each outfit, take a picture of him and put the picture in each thank you note. Then, well you know what happened. Papa died, Jake had to have open-heart surgery and I was a basket case for a long time.” I said, “You know you could send each person a baby shower thank you note now (you remember everyone who was there) and slip a little note in it that says, ‘Thank you so much for the outfit you gave me for Jacob. Unfortunately it doesn’t fit him now, and if I could exchange it for his size I don’t think he’d wear it as he’s an intern with Microsoft and finishing up his second year at the University.” Can you imagine getting a thank you note like that? I would love it! Do you have a story to share with me? I’d love to know what kind of thank you cards you owe and what came between you and the mailbox. You can email me at pam@pamyoung.org. For more from Pam Young go to www.cluborganized.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized, ways to lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.
“It’s not something that you’re going to get a professional career out of,” Scott Jablonski said. “It’s not that stressful as a player. You’re just there to have fun.” The Jablonskis and DeFrancos will also be raising awareness about MPS III A, Saturday, July 11, and partnering with Glenn and Cara O’Neill of Columbia, S.C. in a nationwide simultaneous garage, yard and lemonade sales
campaign known as “#7Eleven to Cure Sanfilippo” in hopes of also raise funds for a cure. Eliza O’Neill also has Sanfilippo Syndrome and the O’Neills had raised over $1.8 million of the required $2 million, but funds have slowed recently. The “#7Eleven to Cure Sanfilippo” campaign already has 40 sales in 20 states set up for the event from California to Massachusetts.
All dodgeball tournament proceeds go directly to the Jablonski family for Garrett's current and future care. Team’s registration and minimum $200 donation turned in by Friday, July 10th to secure a spot. The Jablonskis and DeFrancos can be reached at dodgeball4garrett@gmail.com or 865-368-9694 or 865-368-0411 for any questions.

NHC donation funds Pellissippi State nursing equipment ■ STAFF REPORTS
editor@farragutpress.com
A $10,000 donation to the Pellissippi State Community College Foundation by local affiliates of the National HealthCare Corporation is earmarked for the purchase of state-of-the-art teaching equipment for the college’s Nursing degree program. The equipment includes a bed with a headwall containing electronic patient monitors and is to be used in the simulation lab at the Strawberry Plains Campus. The donation was presented to the Pellissippi State Foundation by Ray Blevins, senior regional vice president of the NHC, Eastern Region, June 12. L. Anthony Wise Jr., Pellissippi State president, and Peggy Wilson, executive director of the Pellissippi State Foundation and vice president of College Advancement, accepted the check. The Foundation works on the college’s behalf to provide student scholarships and emergency loans, as well as to improve facilities and secure new equipment. “The Nursing department is very grateful for NHC’s support,” said Lisa Stamm, dean of the program at Pellissippi State. “We currently have students completing clinical rotations at NHC Farragut, and we appreciate the many opportunities NHC contin-
ues to provide for our students, in addition to this gracious gift.” The donation was made by NHC Farragut, NHC Fort Sanders, NHC Knoxville, Holston Health and Rehabilitation Center, and NHC Oak Ridge. NHC affiliates operate long-term health-care centers, as well as home-care programs, independent living centers and assisted living communities throughout the country. Pellissippi State’s Nursing degree program began in 2010 and is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing. Each of the college’s five campuses in Knox and Blount counties offers prenursing courses, and the Nursing program is offered at the Blount County, Magnolia Avenue, and Strawberry Plains campuses. The program runs two years, and students graduate with an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing degree. They are then prepared to take the national licensure exam to become a registered nurse. Pellissippi State also offers a fast-track degree option through the Bridge to Registered Nurse program that allows licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and paramedics to enter nursing school following the successful completion of one summer transitional course. The college partners with other schools to offer the RN to

Is laser surgery common? Q: My neighbor was telling me that her pet recently had laser surgery. I have never heard of that - is this common? Why would her pet have laser surgery? R.S., Farragut A: Laser surgery has become increasing common in veterinary Stephanie medicine for Myers the past 5-10 Ask years. At our the Vet practice, we use the laser for some procedure almost every day. There are multiple reasons why your neighbor’s pet (or any pet, for that matter) would have laser surgery. When a laser is used for cutting instead of a scalpel blade, there is little or no blood loss. A laser is ideal for surgery areas that
commonly bleed a lot, such as in the ears or mouth. A surgical laser sterilizes as it cuts, so the possibility of postoperative infections is decreased. The laser also is able to seal small lymphatics when it cuts, so there is typically less swelling after surgery. In veterinary medicine, a carbon dioxide laser is most commonly used. It produces an invisible beam of light at a specific wavelength that can remove a precise layer of tissue at once time. The precision that the laser allows is certainly another advantage. The many benefits of laser surgery can translate into your pet being able to return to normal activities more quickly. If your pet should need surgery, pet owners should discuss of the possibility of laser surgery with their veterinarian. The laser is not recommended for every procedure, and your veterinarian will be able to guide you if there is a benefit for you pet.

Spitfire From page 3B
Joe Jaynes, one of the company’s core actors, was “asked to consider” playing as Eli, or “The Visitor”. “It tends to be somewhat hard to cast because this role has no lines unlike everybody else in the show,” Jaynes said, “This is a musical too, so people sing but it’s often hard to recruit an actor to come take a part that has no lines in it. So, I was happy to do it. I actually think the character’s very interesting and very challenging to play even though he never says anything. I think he has an important role to play and it’s been really fun.” Christi Watson, will be playing as Shelby Goddard, daughter-in law to Spitfire Grill owner Hannah Ferguson and is really excited about performing for the Knoxville-based theatre company she’d auditioned for since she moved into town in 2013. “I think we have a lot of hopelessness in the world, in general today. Just a feeling of, you know, ‘things aren’t getting any better and they never will’ and this story really kind of confronts that and says, ‘Yes, they can, even in the worst of situations

Danner From page 1B
Danner said. “But, the biggest challenge is
the tracker organ had no pistons, and the electronic organ did,” she said. “The pistons allow you to set different sounds. They are automatically recorded.
The tracker doesn’t.” Danner graduated from the UT in 1971 as an educator witha minor in piano. She studied the organ throughout a span of
20 years. “From the time I was in high school I studied with Brock,” she said. She has two daughters,
Christen Davis and Shannon Stramel, and three grandchildren, all living in Washington State.
