First Utility District to ‘smoke out’ violators ■
HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com
In a month or so, Knox County Sheriff’s officers and Rural Metro will have been alerted to the possibility of smoke in Village Green subdivision — but it won’t be from a fire.
It will be the result of First Utility District’s pilot smoke test, which tests for illegal connections to the Utility’s wastewater system by pumping smoke and air into the pipes, usually from a manhole. “This will be our first go at it,” Pat Spangler said during First
Utility’s board meeting Tuesday, June 26. The smoke in the pipes finds its way out through the path of least resistance, identifying defects such as broken manholes and cleanouts or illegal connections such as roof drains, yard drains and sump pumps.
Those illegal connections are identified visually from the sight of the smoke. Village Green’s sewer system is First Utility’s oldest, and Spangler said he expected to find illegal connections in the 22,040 linear feet that will be tested — particularly from roof drains
because of roofing debris found in manholes. “I’m sure we have some tied on,” he said. Through its Capacity, Management, Operation and Maintenance program, FUD has seen “a See FUD on Page 3A

Hundreds of people lined the sides of Kingston Pike Wednesday morning, July 4, to watch Farragut’s annual Independence Day Parade. Lauren Morgan, who attended with her 13-month-old son, Jack, said, “We wanted to celebrate the Fourth and enjoy the things going on in the city.” “We’ve come every year since it started,” said Dot Cross.

Farragut Business Alliance’s third annual Red, White & Blues event attracted massive crowds celebrating Independence Day with friends, food and funky music — all while enjoying a cool July evening. The lull in record-breaking temperatures came just in time for Red, White & Blues, held on property adjacent to farragutpress Tuesday night, July 3. “Look at the number of people here — it’s unbelievable,” said Marianne McGill, wife of Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill. Susan Horne said, “I am thrilled to see the fabulous turnout and the Farragut Business Alliance — along with president David Purvis — has done a great job pulling together this third annual event.” “We couldn’t have asked for better weather. I came out tonight to have an opportunity to meet some of the people in Farragut ... it’s just great that we have an opportunity like this,” Knox County Commissioner Richard Briggs said. The event featured food from restaurants around Farragut, including Archer’s Barbecue, Mario’s Pizza, Meksiko Cantina,

“This is the 15th year in a row we’ve come. We’ve always come out ever since our kids were little. It’s a wonderful small-town parade,” said Barbara Ruggiero. More than 90 parade entrants processed down the Pike from Farragut High School to Boring Road in antique cars, on floats, marching and even riding horses. WATE-TV anchor Gene Patterson was the parade’s grand marshal. See PARADE on Page 3A

After its popular governor from just a few years back said no to a run against Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, Tennessee Democrats got a bitter view “of the larger lay of the land.” That’s according to Dr. Mark O’Gorman, associate professor of political science and environmental studies at Maryville Top: As headliner Dishwater Blonde provides music, Gina Pack, left, Cindy Van Dyke, center, and Mika Rogers dance to the music.

College, speaking about Democratic and other GOP challengers to Corker’s bid for reelection come Nov. 6. “I think there was a movement among Democrats in Tennessee to see if they could get [former governor] Phil Bredesen to come and be a challenger to Corker,” O’Gorman said. “Bredesen didn’t agree.” See ELECTION on Page 5A
Kingston Pike lane reduction to last months The traffic shift at Everett Road that reduced Kingston Pike to one lane in each direction likely will last for several months. TDOT shifted traffic to make room for bridge construction. The bridge — and that stretch of Kingston Pike — is being widened to five lanes, including a center turn lane. Once it’s
complete, a traffic signal will be installed at the Everett Road intersection. Kingston Pike has been reduced to one lane eastbound and one lane westbound near the intersection, and likely will remain that way for months. Everett Road will remain closed.

DJ John Rutherford of Pro Audio opened the event at 6:30 p.m. and musical headliner Dishwater Blonde went on at 8 p.m. “We’re out here celebrating with good food, good people and funky music,” said Dishwater Blonde lead singer Davis Mitchell. The event attracted more than 1,500 guests. Stephanie Barnes said, “We’ve been the past few years and had such a great time. The kids enjoy it; the food is great. We always get to mingle with people we haven’t seen in a while. It’s a great celebration.” State Representative Ryan Haynes, who helped Farragut elected officials man the watermelon-eating contest, said, “I think it’s a good opportunity for the whole community to get together.

Spangler said in certain cases, the smoke could enter a Village Green resident’s home, especially through illegal basement sump pump connections or through dry traps in drains that aren’t often used. “We’ll probably have a case or two” of smoke entering a home, Spangler said. According to Spangler, the smoke testing likely will take place in the next four to five weeks while the weather is dry.

letterstotheeditor Critique response To use one of Ron Honken’s homilies, “it looks like I’ve poked the bear.” Since the Inklebargers did not understand many of the words in my June 28 article, or have put their own interpretation on them, let me clarify. I did NOT “accuse” Mr. [David] Smoak or Mr. [Ron] Honken of writing the presstalk article of June 14. I said, “ … it sounds like it was … .” So please save your “to defend their honor” nonsense. Since [the] piece was unsigned and well written, I only speculated that a ringer could have submitted it. For the record, I have great respect for the experience and ability of Mr. Smoak and Alderman Honken, though I may not always agree with them. With Mr. Honken in particular I have had one-on-one conversations, and I just plain like him. The main problem I have with your view and others is the plethora of negativity concerning the re-use of existing facilities without “putting pencil to the paper.” Yes, that is how I used the expression — not the way you interpreted it. You state you are “skeptical” about the re-use of existing facilities, but you have not put pencil to the paper for the feasibility or an estimated cost of this approach. I have only seen a $20 million figure and do not know what it represents or how it
was obtained. With [more than] 30 years engineering and project experience, and having been a licensed professional engineer in 10 states before I retired, what I would do is start with a basic new community center conceptual design and cost by a qualified architect/engineer. Then continue with optional add-on features, with their costs identified, so that the residents can intelligently decide what the words “community center” means to them and the cost for that vision. For example, with all the pools and swimming opportunities in the area, do a majority of the residents really want to spend the incremental amount for aquatic facilities in a community center. After establishing a base plan, I would then have the architect/engineer take a look at the adaptability and associated cost of using any of the candidate existing sites for comparison with the base plan. The last step could be moot if a political decision was made to simply go new, which is fine, but could not be called due diligence with the residents’ money. Ken Frazer Farragut Reader calls for explanation I am disappointed with our Board of Mayor and Alderman. After the first reading of the budget,
presstalk • What is the speed limit on Campbell Station Road between, basically, the Interstate and Kingston Pike? My property borders Campbell Station Road and ever since the road has been widened, there are cars that regularly drive 60 miles an hour and higher up and down that road. And the thing about it is, we’ve got schools at either end. We’ve got school zones with Farragut [Primary] at one end, down near Grigsby Chapel [Road], and then we have Farragut High School zone at the other end. And yet repeatedly, and consistently, I hear and see and occasionally when I drive up and down Campbell Station, there are cars going 50 and 60 miles an hour and higher. It’s not a road; it’s a highway. When is the town of Farragut going to do something about reducing the speed on Campbell Station Road? Is it going to have to be an accident? Is there going to have to be a death? Is there going to have to be some pedestrian trying to cross, with all the nice sidewalks, that gets hit? Something
BOMA had decided to cut funding of the KAT program. Then minds were changed at the second reading. The minutes of the meeting do not explain what the discussion was, but Cindy McGinnis, a representative from KAT was there, evidently to ask for money. Jeremy Chandler, a Concord resident according to farragutpress (does that mean he is or is not a Farragut resident?), was present to support the program, according to BOMA minutes. Mr. Chandler talked of “progressive communities” and how “public transit is a basic tenet of progressive communities.” Does he realize that rampant crime and joblessness also are basic tenets of “progressive communities?” Our community tends to believe in freedom and liberty and limiting government spending to those items that make our communities safer and a better place to live. Mr. Chandler, a doctoral student at The University of Tennessee, went on to argue that the money should be directed to the KAT program and not to the schools because he sees no “correlation between technology and good students,” according to farragutpress. Did not our Knox County School Board just argue otherwise? Alderman Jeff Elliott understands free-
dom. Thank you! Jeff Elliott understands that taxes belong to us and not to the government. Alderman [Bob] Markli seems to understand individual liberty as he voted against a metal building prohibition, but then he voted to take our money and give it to KAT. There is no mention in the record why Mayor [Ralph] McGill and Aldermen [Dot] LaMarche and [Ron] Honken voted to support KAT funding. If we have extra money in the budget, return it to the businesses of Farragut, or to the citizens of Farragut. We need to keep our politicians honest and I regret I failed in my duty as a citizen. The Farragut BOMA does try to make it easy for us to contact them; the fault does not lie with them or with this paper. As the old saying goes, either you are at lunch or you are lunch. Whether it is at the federal, state or local level, we can never completely trust our elected representatives. We must contact them with our thoughts and concerns and verify their votes. We must stay engaged if we want to retain our freedom and liberty — even in Farragut, Tennessee. Aaron Margulies Farragut

presstalk@farragutpress.com interested in the stores — but his attitude or her attitude of “those people” that she or he is tolerant of them and love and accept them. You know, my question is, what if they had someone in their family that was gay? Their attitude about gay people would be totally different. They would not call them “those people.” Everyday when I read something like this, I just think of my loved one that is gay, and I love him and I love his partner. Life is wonderful. Why can’t people get along with each other? Thank you. • Thanks again this year to Fox Den for another wonderful Fourth of July fireworks show. The community appreciates your efforts. • This goes out to those bickering over whether gay marriage should be supported by corporate companies or not. Is it really your business?? What people do in their bedrooms is their business and no one else’s. Please try to understand that these companies are doing the right thing by not making it
needs to be done about it. Editor’s Note: The posted speed limit on that stretch of Campbell Station Road is 40 miles per hour. The default speed limit on Farragut roads, unless otherwise posted, is 25 miles per hour, which is also the speed limit in school zones when lights are flashing. Farragut has no police force to enforce speed limits; that job belongs to Knox County Sheriff’s Office. • I have noticed there has been quite a reduction in the number of comments in the presstalk ever since the town of Farragut put pressure on the farragutpress to only print positive things. I don’t think this is a coincidence. Editor’s Note: We print all presstalks that are submitted providing presstalk rules of engagement are followed. Presstalk calls historically are fewer during summer months. • Today, as I read the presstalk, I see this subject of gays mentioned. This person who wrote this — you know, I’m not
about religion but about rights as a human being. If you take religion out of the equation, there is nothing wrong with gay marriage. Marriage is not a religious thing to some. It is a right to marry the person they love, which is why you can be married in a courthouse rather than a church. So I can appreciate your opinions on gay marriage due to your religious beliefs but please keep in mind this is America, not everyone follows the same religious beliefs and try to respect that instead of lashing out in a public forum. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but just like opinions, religious beliefs can differ as well. Try practicing acceptance of people for who they are not what you think they should be. Just a suggestion. Peace. • This comment follows earlier postings about whether or not to shop at certain stores because they or their foundation affiliates support gay or anti-gay causes. We all have a right to shop where we want to shop, for any reason, period. The more
poignant issue in this debate is whether the Bible condemns homosexuality in the seven passages where it is thought to be mentioned. Some people use those seven passages to “condemn the sin” and thereby feel justified in denying basic civil and human rights to people who happen to love people of the same gender. First of all, the Bible counsels lots of things our modern world finds morally repugnant. Genesis 21:7, for example, appears to sanction selling one’s daughter into slavery. Who decides that passage can be ignored but others can be treated as gospel? Second, for centuries the Church used Genesis 9:25-27 to justify slavery. When does one’s own moral compass outweigh what some preacher THINKS the King James version says? Think about it. • I had the pleasure of meeting Farragut’s mayor, Ralph McGill, and his wife, Marianne in Florida. What a lovely couple! Farragut is very lucky to have such a fine and learned gentleman as mayor!

Election From page 1A
As a result, “There just weren’t any strong Democratic challengers that were willing to step up and run in this race,” O’Gorman said. “I think part of it is Democrats see the larger lay of the land out there, that I think these are more complex times for Democrats running for office. And also, I think they see in Sen. Corker a strong incumbent candidate.” Between Democratic candidates Park Overall, an actress reportedly running on a pro-environment platform, and political activist Mark Clayton, “It’ll be a close race,” O’Gorman said,
adding he’s “not quite sure” who’s the favorite to square off against Corker in November. Corker’s GOP challengers are Tea Party activists Brenda S. Lenard, currently seeking a doctorate degree at The University of Tennessee, and Zach Poskevich, a U.S. Army veteran and technology consultant. Also running is Republican James Durkan, a former manufacturing manager. “I don’t think anybody’s done any polling in part because I don’t think they believe, at least the Aug. 2 primary, is competitive at all,” O’Gorman said. Corker does have concerns. “In the general [campaign /election], I think one issue
could be, in terms of his connections to financial dealings — he’s pro-business and a good person — but I’ve looked up on different campaign websites that [indicate] one of his larger campaign contributors is Goldman Sachs,” O’Gorman said of the controversial investment brokerage firm. “It’s not surprising he’s on the subcommittee dealing with financial institution issues. “I do know that’s something the Democrats probably could use, hammer against him in terms of being cozy with investment bankers,” O’Gorman added. However, even apart from possible “coattails” from anticipated GOP presidential nominee Mitt
Romney, “I think Corker’s going to win pretty handily, this is a pretty red state,” O’Gorman said. “I think the senator’s got his own record he can stand on. … By most national magazines and organizations who do rankings of senators, he has a solid conservative record.” Saying Corker and almost all
GOP senatorial candidates move at least a little right come an election year, O’Gorman said, “I think the effect of the Tea Party, especially in the 2010 elections, gave pause to every elected official in Washington, especially Republicans, that they better make sure and show as much conservatism as they can.”

Archer Bagley is relocating his business, Archer’s BBQ, to Bearden within the next month. Archer’s BBQ will close in Farragut and reopen at 5415 Kingston Pike, perhaps by Aug. 1. “We’re shifting things up a bit. We fully intend on being out in West Knoxville again,” Bagley said. Bagley said he hopes Farragut customers follow him to his new location — or to his Archer’s BBQ Express in Rocky Hill — but says he has no plans to return to Farragut. “I’m really, really frustrated with the city of Farragut. When I had the opportunity to buy my way out of my lease ... I was getting out of the city of Farragut.
Until those people wake up and learn to rein in the codes enforcement people, you’re going to be looking at more and more empty spaces on Kingston Pike,” Bagley said. “They need to wake up.” “They make it extremely difficult to do business in that Town,” he added. Bagley and his wife, Yvonne, opened Archer’s BBQ in Farragut a little more than a year ago at 11151 Kingston Pike. Archer’s BBQ in Bearden will seat about 45 and will change to serving food in a cafeteria-style line. “You’ll actually walk in and say ‘I want a pork sandwich,’ and I’ll make it for you right there. We have really nothing to hide: it’s all fresh food,” Bagley said. Food will be cooked, and bar-

becue will be smoked, for the Bearden and Rocky Hill locations, as well as the Squeal Mobile, at a commissary kitchen off Weisgarber Road. “We’re going to be set up for further expansion,” Bagley said.
Bagley said he hopes to serve dinners near Farragut from his Squeal Mobile — but he says he can’t serve in Farragut because the Town doesn’t allow food See ARCHER’S on Page 7A

Rodgers pair from Farragut claim 2 of 4 Willow Creek Invitational golf titles

Like Farragut father, like Farragut son — for the second time in three years. This time, unlike 2010, Brandon Rodgers and his father, Bryan Rodgers, didn't need sudden death playoff holes to win separate Willow Creek Invitational flights. Brandon, a contributor to back-to-back Farragut High School boys golf state tiles in 2008 and 2009 (Class of 2010) and a Tennessee Vols rising junior, held off a late charge from Craig Reasor to win 2012 WCI Championship Flight. Firing a two-day 10-under-par 133 (7,211 yards), including a sizzling 64 during the final round of this annual event Sunday, July 8, Brandon — who said he's played WCGC regularly since age 10 — claimed a four-shot victory against Reasor (70-67-137). “I’ve been hitting it great all summer. I made some swing changes last November with the swing coaches there [at UT] … and it's really coming along nice,” said Brandon, bolstered by two high finishes recently against southeastern U.S. and national competition. Following a top 15 finish at Greystone Invitational in Birmingham, Ala., and a solid effort during “match-play last week at Spring Creek in Memphis,” Brandon added, “Coming in here, I felt pretty confident about how I was hitting it.” Playing even par through seven holes Sunday, “until [No.] eight, that's when I kinda got on a run there,” Brandon said about birdies on holes 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 18. “The putter got hot today on that back side.” Bryan Rodgers won Senior Flight (67-70-137, 5,936 yards) by three strokes versus runnerup John Thomas (70-70-140). “The key was yesterday, I hit all 18 greens yesterday; really, it

was an easy 67,” Bryan said about his Saturday round. “My longest par putt was about a foot. “Today I played well, except I bogeyed 16 and 18 on three putts,” Bryan added. “Today I more or less played conservative to try and stay out of trouble.” Brandon highlighted a handful of former FHS Admiral star players found among Championship Flight's top finishers. Hayden Anderson (FHS 2010) and a rising junior at Georgia Southern, took third place (70-71-141). Elliott Wickenden (FHS Class of 2009), a rising senior and No. 1 golfer at Belmont University
(Nashville), finished tied for third (even par, 72-71-143) with Michael Markiewicz, former Knoxville Catholic star (72-71), and Brandon Skeen (74-69). “Even par's not bad, I'm happy with it,” Wickenden said, adding that after some off-the-tee difficulties during Saturday's opening round, “I worked it out on the range” prior to Sunday's round. Regular Flight's First Flight champ was Scott Helle (67-74141, 6,398). Second Flight champ was Rob Gosselin, rising sophomore at Hardin Valley Academy (82-73155, 6,398).
As for Championship flight drama, Reasor lit up the back nine with four straight birdies Sunday (holes 10-13), and trailed Brandon by just one stroke with two holes remaining. “Craig really brought it on the back nine,” Brandon said. While Brandon sank a short birdie putt on No. 17 (par 4, 409 yards), Reason settled for par. Rodgers' second shot at the par 4, 462-yard 18th settled things without question, taking a “pitching wedge” and landing his fairway shot from 135 yards to within less than a foot of the hole, ending with an easy birdie. Reasor bogeyed No. 18.

With top Southern Gospel Music talent slated each Sunday throughout July, inaugural First Baptist Concord Summer Concert Series is stirring up quite a reaction. Tiffany Roy, FBC communications coordinator, said that upon naming Summer Concert Series lineup to a woman inquiring over the phone, “She just said, ‘Oh my word, that is the best lineup I’ve ever of.’ She’s a huge Gospel music fan.” “And my parents, they live in Atlanta, and I called mom, and she was like, ‘I wish we lived up See FBC on Page 5B

Having met with U.S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan and state Rep. Ryan Haynes, 16-yearold Alexandra Christopoulos has immersed herself into the cause of helping treat, and prevent, drug-addicted newborn babies. “It’s just heartbreaking what you see,” said Christopoulos, a rising junior at Hardin Valley Academy, who first became aware of what she calls “such an epidemic” of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome while a volunteer at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. “Going through withdrawal is such a painful process. These babies are crying constantly, they are vomiting. They’re in constant pain, their body has depended on those drugs, that’s what they’ve fed off of during the pregnancy,” she said. Though under 18 and therefore unable to swaddle NAS babies at the hospital — the most effective way to comfort — Christopoulos has formed Project BeanSprout “to raise awareness.” It features “15 to 20” youth volunteers. Speaking with Haynes (R-District 14) in mid-June, Christopoulos said she discussed the feasibility of “passing a resolution during the next General Assembly to encourage the State Board of Education to include in the school curriculum a discussion of drug abuse and the impact this has on women and their babies. “I feel like educating teens, kind of reaching out to the teens, is a first step toward basically trying to stop the problem,” Christopoulos added. “We’re not educated about NAS and the effects of using drugs
Davis fulfills father’s wish

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Seeking the best way to fulfill the wish of her deceased father, 17-year-old Kathy Davis has chosen to champion a cause she said is under appreciated: abolishing modern slavery, also Davis known as human trafficking. “Before he died, he wrote a few letters … only to be read after he died,” this Farragut teenager said. “About two or three days
after he died, I opened the letter, and one of the things that really stuck out was that I was supposed to go and help others, kind of what he did.” Five years later, having raised about $5,000 to help stop human trafficking, Davis is among 25 cyclists ages 16 to 56 who each are championing their own causes with a fundraising/awareness “Freedom Tour” ride from Cincinnati to Washington, D.C. June 12-23; “about 550 miles” beginning with four days of training in Cincy June 12. Davis said she “had to raise $2,000” just to make the Cincy trip possible, but has raised
during pregnancy, like what the effects are on the babies.” Haynes said he advised Christopoulos they should both go “and talk with the local Board of Education and the State Board of Education to see what kind of awareness programs” currently are being taught. “If they are not teaching it, we’re looking perhaps at introducing some legislation next year encouraging State Board of Education to make that part of their Family Wellness Curriculum,” Haynes added. Christopoulos said she first met with Duncan (RSecond District) and later learned “he has assigned two of his aids to the NAS research. … I spoke with one aid, and he is now going to refocus his research specifically to East Tennessee.” Jean Heise, supervisor for humanities with Knox County Schools, said KCS has hired Knox County Health Department educators who “work in conjunction with wellness teachers at the 10th-grade level and then also with the middle health teachers” covering “teen pregnancy and the emotional toll it takes … and drug abuse and substance abuse. “I applaud her efforts.

another $3,000 going directly to her cause. “I started in 2009, and before this [fundraiser] I collected about $2,000,” Davis added. Davis said the cause of abolishing human trafficking caught her attention because “I thought slavery had ended in the 1800s, and I was so surprised that there was still slavery — in the United States as well as the world. “And that hardly anyone knew about it really stuck out, and I'm like, ‘maybe I could make a difference.’” Saying there currently are 27 million slaves worldwide, Davis added there are “200,000 in the United States.” Specifically, “Right now a lot of it, probably most of it, is for sexual slaves,” Davis said. “They enslave them, they’ll put them in brothels, use them for prostitution. A lot of them will be just little girls, minors.” “They're from different countries, they flew them over to the United States. They don’t know the language, they don’t know how to get out of the cycle,” Davis added. “And also, they’ll threaten them by saying that ‘if you leave I’m going to go find your mother and father and kill them, and I’ll kill you too.’ They don’t want to hurt their families, so they stay there.”
Looking to support their families financially, young girls are lured into this trafficking web by those pretending “to help them, they said they can take them to the U.S. and be a nanny there or do housework there and they'll pay them really good. “Once they arrived in the U.S. they’re captured and they take their passports away,” Davis added. To combat the problem, Davis said International Justice Missions is “a human rights organization. And what they’ll do, they’ll go to different countries like India or Africa, and they’ll find these brothels and pretend to go and try to buy sex. “But, once they get there they tell the girls they're going to rescue them,” Davis added. “Next day they’ll come with the police and raid the place and be able to free the girls.” These girls will go to an IJM rehabilitation center “so they can kind of clear their mind from everything that's happened,” Davis said, adding that in 2011 “they freed about 3,000 from slavery.” Davis also said she “would love” to go undercover and help free sex slave girls. With a biking pace of “80 to 100 miles a day” toward Washington, D.C., Davis said she’s been in training “for a few months now. I’ve never done anything like this.” As for future efforts, “I’m trying to start a 501(C)3, an official nonprofit organization,” Davis said.

Aspiring to be an environmental lobbyist, Chris Woudstra said he’d like to use his Michigan State University degree in environmental policy and appear before Tennessee General Assembly to “lobby” on behalf of town of Farragut. However, when this 23-year-old Americorps assistant assumes his 10-month-long duties with the Town later this summer, “I’d like him to step up his efforts in the Adopt-A-Stream program,” said Jason Scott, Town stormwater coordinator. “I kind of hope that we could adopt every section of stream here in Farragut and have some kind of group invested into it.” Also, “He may end up coordi-

nating an effort to label the storm drains that were found to not have a [public advisory] message,” Scott added. “And we might actually have him go back and look at those inlets, at least a section of them, just to see if everything is good with them.” As for choosing this Canton, Mich., native who has never spent extended time in the south, “We interviewed several candidates, and he seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the type of work,” Scott said. “His background was a good match. ... His general enthusiasm about the work specifically really stood out to me. “He also had interned with his state’s environmental compliance department,” Scott added. “He even has some experience that was pretty relevant.”
Woudstra said he “just wanted the opportunity to do something new. I loved the description on the Americorps website. I searched pretty heavily through a lot of different programs. I thought this one was pretty good after talking to John Harris and Jason Scott, I got a really good feeling those are people I want to be involved with. “And generally, I just have a pretty large passion for the environment. It seems like they do, too. I’d be privileged to jump on board and do some of the projects that they're doing,” Woudstra added. “I think I have a good ability to connect with people.” Woudstra said it’s his understanding that part of his duties See AMERICORPS on Page 8B

When should we take our kitten for her first vet appointment? Q: There has been a stray kitten outside our home for a couple of weeks. She seems very friendly and gets along with our other pets, so our family has decided to keep her. We have not yet taken her to the vet. When should we take her for Stephanie her first a p p o i n t - Myers Ask ment, and w h a t the Vet should we expect? Amy, Farragut A: Congratulations on your decision to give this kitten a home. She is a lucky girl, and I’m glad to know that she is fitting in well with your family. Since you have decided to keep her, she should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as you can. The first thing your veterinarian will do is perform a physical exam, including checking her eyes, ears, and skin, and listening to her heart and lungs. Since she was a stray, he/she will also estimate her age. Your kitten will be tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), both of which are impor-
tant, serious viruses which are contagious to other cats. Your kitten will also be checked for parasites, which would be contagious to other dogs and cats in your home, such as ear mites, fleas, and ticks. You may bring a stool sample to the appointment, and it will be checked for intestinal worms, which are also contagious to your other pets, but also some of which are contagious to people. If your new kitten is healthy enough and old enough, your veterinarian will vaccinate her. First vaccinations are given when kittens are approximately 8 weeks old. A plan for future vaccines will be discussed and will be based on her current age, her lifestyle (if she will be living indoors, outdoors, or both), and the current health status of your other cats. Other topics typically discussed on your kitten’s first visit include diet, spaying and neutering, advantages of keeping your kittens indoors, litterbox training, and answering any questions or concerns that you may have. You can expect to be at your first appointment for about an hour. And again, thanks for giving this kitten a great home.

there’ because she loves The Isaacs,” Roy added about the Series’ July 22 group. “I think people are excited about it and loving it. A lot of members have been talking about it for a long time. “I’ve been here four years, and we haven’t done anything like this.” Next up is Gordon Mote this Sunday, July 15, the latest in a month-long series of Gospel talent scheduled to perform inside FBC’s main auditorium through July 29.
All remaining concerts begin at 6 p.m. Doors open at 5:15. “Gordon Mote has been called one of the best musicians in America,” Roy said. Following The Isaacs July 22, Mark Trammell Quartet closes things out July 29. “The Isaacs have done a lot with The Gaithers. I know tons of people who know The Isaacs,” Roy said. Mark Trammell himself has been named Southern Gospel's favorite baritone five times by Singing News Fan Awards. Performances are expected to last around 90 minutes.
The Talleys kicked off the series, free of charge and open to the public, in impressive fashion July 1 to the delight of an estimated 600 to 700, Roy said. “The Talleys are originally from East Tennessee, and so I think a lot of people in this community know them,” Roy said. Tapping into FBC talent July 8, and veering off from the Southern Gospel theme, was Pops Concert: The Music of America Featuring the church’s Concord Orchestra, which drew similar attendance numbers. “That’s music by American composers,” Roy said.

Van Sickle From page 2B
state soccer forward has discovered her passion: helping women enhance self esteem through physical training. “For the first time, I can start dreaming again,” said Van Sickle, currently working toward earning her NSCA-CPT personal training certificate, and who recently earned a top 10 spot nationally among hundreds in Under Armour’s “What’s Beautiful” national contest relating to physical fitness. Reluctant to sign up after being discouraged by a torn hamstring, Van Sickle wasn’t on board until a special message came across loud and clear. “All I kept hearing from Him, God just kept saying, ‘Sarah, this time it’s not going to be about you,’” Van Sickle recalled. “For the next couple of hours He showed me this vision to get women in Knoxville moving, to get them active,” Van Sickle added. “Reinstate their self worth and their self esteem, and redefine what beauty is by physical activity and showing them that they can do more than they thought.” Van Sickle embraced her nickname, “Sarah the Beauty Hunter” because “that was my goal, to hunt the beauty out of every single woman that God would entrust to me,” said Van Sickle, also a former All-Academic SEC Lady Vols soccer defender. To be in Under Armour’s top 10 “is flattering, it’s an honor, I’m more than humbled,” she said. The basic challenge toward making Under Armour's top 10 includes each contestant “picking your own athletic goal, your own athletic endeavor, pursue
that hardcore and try and beat other people out on the site and basically document it with pictures and videos along the way,” Van Sickle said. “Mainly, my goal has been focused on my girls.” The top three — two chosen by Under Armour and one by Internet vote ending July 3 — will be announced Monday, July 16. If finishing in the top three, “I would be one of the three faces of Under Armour,” which would include “photo shoots with them, and in the advertising campaign, a basically a spokesmodel for them. ... And four personal training sessions with celebrity train-
ers,” Van Sickle said. Now training more than 200 women seven days a week, nine classes, throughout Knox County in what she calls “What’s Beautiful, Team Knoxville,” Van Sickle started with a KOC group. “They were having their version of The Biggest Loser competition,” said Van Sickle, who earned a degree in exercise science kinesiology from UT in December 2010, about her first experience training a group. “From January through May ... I was training those women four days a week for free.” Photo submitted

atrician and he sees that with newborns,” Heise added about Christopoulos. Project BeanSprout started out with this HVA rising junior “making size-specific hand-made blankets to swaddle and comfort these babies. … I have made over 100 blankets,” she said. “They need 45-by-45[inch] blankets to swaddle these babies,” Christopoulos added. Also part of BeanSprout, “I’ve
also purchased baby mobiles … to occupy the babies and help with their motor skills,” Christopoulos said. “I’ve also purchased the Baby Einstein DVDs, a video to keep them occupied and help them learn.” Besides swaddling, “There’s not much else we can do” about NAS, Christopoulos said. NAS babies account for “about half” of the hospital’s new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which opened last November, Christopoulos said, adding the unit treats 30 NAS babies on a continuous basis.
Alexandra Christopoulos finishes up one of more than 100 custom-made swaddling blankets she’s made to comfort Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome babies, which are taken to a special Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.

resident P Quotes ‘n Notes by Bettye Sisco
Einstein’s Lesson for Success Follow Your Curiosity “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” What piques your curiosity? What causes one person to succeed while another person fails? The pursuit of your curiosity is the secret to your success. Perseverance is Priceless “It's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer.” Through perseverance the turtle reached the ark. Are you willing to persevere until you get to your intended destination? Focus on the Present “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.” You can do anything, but not everything. Learn to be present where you are; give your all to whatever you’re currently doing. Focused energy is power, and the difference between success and failure. The Imagination is Powerful “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Are you using and exercising your “imagination muscles” daily? Don’t let something as powerful as your imagination lie dormant. Make Mistakes “A person who never made a mistake, never tried anything new.” Never be afraid of making a mistake. A mistake is not a failure. Mistakes can make you better, smarter and faster. Discover the power of making mistakes. Live in the Moment “I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.” The only way to properly address your future is to be as present as possible, “in the present.” You cannot “presently” change yesterday or tomorrow, so dedicate your efforts to “right now.” It’s the only time that matters and the only time there is. Create Value “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." Don’t waste your time trying to be successful, spend your time creating value. Discover the talents and gifts that you possess, then learn how to offer them in a way that most benefits others. Don’t Expect Different Results “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Doing the same thing every day will not achieve different results. In order for your life to change, you must change. The degree of change can determine the degree of success. Knowledge Comes From Experience “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.” Knowledge comes from experience. You can discuss a task, but discussion is only the beginning; you must experience the task first hand to “know it.” Don’t spend your time hiding behind speculative information, go out and do it, and you will gain priceless knowledge. Learn the Rules and Then Play Better “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” Simply, there are two things that you must do. The first vital thing to do is to learn the rules of the game. Second, commit to play the game better than anyone else.

Meadow View Greenhouse & Garden Center is Knoxville’s go-to place for all of your gardening needs. This family run business has played a beneficial part in many of Knoxville residents’ garden success stories, with many still to come
in the future. Manager Lisa Grugin’s family has farmed for over 25 years in Fentress County, Tennessee. When Lisa and her husband Rodney were finished serving with the United States Army, they decided to move to Knoxville. At the time, Lisa’s parents were interested in opening a retail store for the family grown plants and so the Meadow View Greenhouse & Garden Center doors opened in 1997. “It just seemed like a good fit,” said Lisa Grugin on the timing of the grand opening. She added, “We bought the land in 1996, opened in ’97, and have been here ever since!” Meadow View offers an array of options in their retail garden center. From trees and shrubs, to vegetables, flowers and a garden gift shop, you are sure to find exactly what you are looking for and are guaranteed top notch customer service. “We try to keep just about everything,” explained Grugin. As an added bonus, all of the annual perennials and vegetables are grown on the family farm in Fentress County and are delivered regularly. In addition to gardening supplies and products, Meadow View also has a landscape designer, works with an installation business, offers periodical gardening classes and will even attend garden club meetings, all to make your garden as successful as possible. Lisa explained that what makes Meadow View different from any other like store in the area is customer service. The people who work at Meadow View know what they are talking about. “We know our plants, and we just want our customers to be successful. That is why we talk to them! We genuinely care about what our customers want,” she said. For more information on Meadow View Greenhouse & Garden Center, check out the store on Highway 11 behind the landmark oversized watering can, call 986-7229, or visit www.meadowviewgreenhouse.com. Also be sure to “Like” their Facebook page, follow them on Twitter, and sign up for their enewsletter for information on class times, new blogs, or any other information for that month. Happy gardening!
Is Your Business Fiscally Fit? by Robert Karpick Senior Business Partner, TSBDC
Physical fitness has once again become an important part of my life. I recently realized Robert Karpick that I was so out of shape that I decided to invest the time, energy, and effort into reversing the destruction that a few too many bowls of ice cream and lunches out of the office had done for me. In February, I invested in the P90X program from Team BeachBody and never looked back. I work out at least one hour per day and monitor my caloric intake. In addition to that, I track my workouts with such detail that I even have a spreadsheet that displays my performance results graphically. Knowledge is power and power creates change. The same can be said for a lot of businesses when it comes to their “fiscal” fitness. It may have been some time since you have really paid attention to your financial performance. Fiscal fitness is more than seeing a positive balance in your bank account. Here are some things you should know about your company’s financial picture… Are there ways that I can improve my cash flow? How do the balance sheet and income statements help me diagnose problems and opportunities in my business? How can a breakeven analysis help me make better pricing and investment decisions? Do I have enough working capital to support growth? If you do not know the answers to these questions, you need to consider doing as I did for my physical fitness. You should invest in the resources, you should dedicate the time, effort and energy to understand your business’ financial condition. If you do not track your fiscal performance, you should do so and review those results so that changes can be made and your business can be optimized. As a result of my efforts, I have now shed over 50 pounds and over 10% body fat. The investment paid off and it will for you. TSBDC business specialists can assist you in achieving fiscal fitness for your business. The Tennessee Small Business Development Center is a free and confidential service. Visit the website at www.tsbdc.org or call the office at 865-246-2663 for additional information or to make an appointment.
