President calls for reduced emissions Impact on LCUB ratepayers too soon to know, officials say
■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
President Barack Obama announced a climate action plan during a speech given at Georgetown University Tuesday, June 25. In the president’s plan is a directive to the Environmental Protection Agency. “Power plants can still dump unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into the air for free,” Obama said. “That’s not right. That’s not safe, and it needs to stop. So today for the sake of our children and the health and safety of all Americans, I’m directing the Environmental Protection Agency to put an end to the limitless dumping of carbon pollution from our power plants and complete new pollution standards for both new and existing power plants. I’m also directing the EPA to develop
these standards in an open and transparent way, to provide flexibility to different states with different needs.” Lenoir City Utilities Board general manager M. Shannon Littleton said the power that LCUB distributes is generated by TVA. “It concerns me that we’re focusing so much on green energy, if you will, in our nation, and we look around the world, and it’s simply the amount of pollution that other nations are emitting is much greater than what we’re doing,” Littleton said. “...There’s always issues concerning these power generators and what they do with either emissions or spent fuel. I just don’t agree we need to raise the price to consumers with that concept.” On the effect on ratepayers, See RATES on Page 2A

America is slowly moving toward cleaner sources of energy and using less of it overall. President Barack Obama’s plan to fight climate change will accelerate those trends. The most ambitious part of the plan seeks to rein in one of the biggest sources of carbon dioxide emissions: coalfired power plants such as the TVA Bull Run Fossil Plant near Oak Ridge, which supplies some power to LCUB. Obama will direct the Environmental Protection Agency to create the first-ever federal limits on these emissions, which trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere.

Four Rural Metro Fire Department responder trucks fought a home fire along W. Kingsgate Road May 10, 2012, after a 9year-old spotted smoke and flames and a neighbor called 911, according Town fire marshal Dan Johnson. Flames and smoke combined to cause an estimated $75,000 in damage to the deck, roof and ceiling, Johnson added.
Town fire marshal offers safety advice ■ ALAN SLOAN

For all home fires in Farragut caused by scented candles, space heaters and over-loaded circuitry, Town residents have a positive streak going. “Within the town of Farragut, in the last 10 years, we have not had a fire fatality,” Town fire marshal Dan Johnson said. However, Farragut has had its share of non-fatal home fires in recent years, many caused by “failures of electrical components or items that are hooked into the electrical system,” Johnson said. “Overloaded or improperly installed. And overloaded power strips.” Even if a given electrical item
is turned off, “Anything you plug into an outlet is a potential cause for a fire,” Johnson added, stressing that upon leaving a home uninhabited, all electrical items should be unplugged including televisions and radios. “Unplug everything that doesn’t essentially need to be plugged in. You have live energy running from the wall to that device.” Especially harmful if left plugged in, even if turned off, are “space heaters and electric blankets,” Johnson said. “The other item we run into in Farragut is candles,” he added. “Candle-use fires were up dramatically within the past decade. They’ve started to take a See SAFETY on Page 4A

Dixie Lee Farmers Market recently expanded with the addition of a new market at Pinnacle at Turkey Creek. Dixie Lee Farmers Market now has two locations: the Pinnacle site and the original site at Renaissance | Farragut. The market began at Renaissance | Farragut in 2008, said Virginia Cannon, who founded the market with her husband, Jeff. They manage the market. The first date for the Dixie Lee Farmers Market at the Pinnacle at Turkey Creek, 11251 Parkside Drive, was April 30, Virginia Cannon said. The Pinnacle market takes place from 3 to 6 p.m.,Tuesdays, she said, while the Renaissance | Farragut one takes place Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Thought Farragut appears to be a mosquito breeding paradise because of it’s abundant pools of standing water, no cases of West Nile Virus has been found in trapped mosquitoes after testing done through June. From the most recent tested samples at deadline, those from late June, “came back negative
throughout the whole county,” said Ronnie Nease, Knox County Health Department environmental health director. Visiting Farragut Monday, July 8, “There was just water everywhere out through Farragut,” Nease said. “The only concern we have now, is that with all of this rain there’s water standing everywhere,” Nease added. “And we would encourage everybody, to
the best of their ability, to look on their property and pour out any standing water. … That’s going to be a tremendous amount of breeding places available for adults to breed and be able to lay their eggs in.” Such considerations are both “for nuisance [general avoidance] and to help alleviate the chance of West Nile being transSee MOSQUITOES on Page 3A

some vendors that already had Saturday markets that weren’t a part of ours, but they were looking for another place to do it, so they came out on Tuesday.” Among the offerings at the Pinnacle market are honey, jewelry, flowers, plants, handmade soaps and gourmet chicken salad, she said. “Every year, almost every farmers market starts at the end of April, it’s usually the last weekend in April, first weekend in May, and we almost all end at the end of October,” she said. “... We always end the last weekend of October or the first weekend of November.” Farming season started late, she said. “Last season, the first month of the farmers market, we had strawberries from the very

Littleton said he deferred to the power generators, but he was concerned that this measure would only raise electricity costs to LCUB consumers. TVA spokesman Duncan Mansfield said, “TVA’s plans align with the president’s proposal, and while we haven’t gotten the details to know specifically how this would affect TVA, we can say that our reductions of carbon dioxide already meets the target that [the president] has proposed in that plan.” TVA has lowered carbon dioxide emissions by 23 percent
beginning, and that’s usually a tradition,” she added. “But since the rain this year, we didn’t even get our strawberries until the middle of June, somewhere in early June, middle of June, and usually the strawberries are gone by then.” Cannon began as a customer of farmers markets. “I developed Rheumatoid arthritis, and trying to live as naturally as possible, I was trying to eat as organically as possible and going to different farmers markets to get local, organic food,” she said. “... But where we lived in Lenoir City, we were having to go to downtown Knoxville or out to Oak Ridge to find local foods, and while we were out in Oak Ridge one time, this guy said, ‘Well you should start your own farmers market,’ so basically that’s what we did.” since 2005, Mansfield said. “Cleaner air and reductions in emissions of both conventional pollutants and greenhouse gasses are consistent with TVA’s vision to be a leader in cleaner air, cleaner energy through new nuclear generation and greater energy efficiency by 2020,” a TVA statement stated. “TVA has reduced sulfur and nitrogen emissions significantly — by 94 percent and 90 percent, respectively — from historical levels and will make further reductions through the installation of emission controls and a balanced power portfolio with cleaner natural gas and nuclear power.”

Complainant stated an unknown suspect broke into her vehicle and took her purse. Complainant added the doors to the vehicle were locked and the suspect broke out the passenger-side front window to gain entry. Estimated loss was about $300. • July 11: A worker at Summit Medical Center off Kingston Pike in Farragut reported to police an unknown suspect had broken into her vehicle and taken multiple items. Complainant stated the vehicle was locked and the suspect broke her passenger-side rear window to gain entry. Complainant stated the vehicle was fine when she returned to work from her lunch break, but later in the afternoon somebody came in and told her some vehicles had been broken into, one being hers. Estimated loss was about $300. • July 11: Police arrested a 42-yearold woman for attempting to shoplift items from Kroger Marketplace off Brooklawn Street in Farragut. Store personnel stopped the woman as she was exiting the store with about $35
in unpaid merchandise in her purse and shopping cart. During processing, it was discovered the suspect also is wanted in Illinois for larceny without extradition and was arrested for shoplifting at Kohl’s department store in Farragut in April 2011. • July 10: A Sedgefield Road resident complained to police an unknown suspect took a golf cart and a four-wheeler that were strapped to a trailer parked in her driveway. Complainant advised the golf cart was homemade so there are no serial numbers to it and the four-wheeler was just purchased the day before so its numbers also are unknown. Estimated loss is about $700. • July 10: A 51-year-old woman was arrested for attempting to steal four books and a pack of trading cards from Kroger Marketplace off Brooklawn Street in Farragut. The arrestee was stopped after she left the store with about $80 in unpaid merchandise in her possession. • July 10: Police were advised by a Cassidy Lane resident an unknown suspect attempted to steal a clarinet he was advertising for sale on Craig’s List. Complainant stated he began receiving text messages and e-mails from the suspect, who was using a telephone with a Washington, D.C.,
area code. Complainant added he wanted to actually speak to the person about the clarinet instead of handling the transaction just by e-mail and text, so he called the number. A male, who sounded as if he had a foreign accent, answered the phone. Complainant stated the phone line had a lot of background noise and the man kept saying they had a bad connection. Later, the victim stated he received a certified check sent via the U.S. Postal Service in the amount of $2,110. Victim stated he was asking $1,500 for the clarinet. The suspect explained the difference in amount was because the suspect was going to have someone come to the victim’s residence and pick up the clarinet and wanted the victim to wire the difference between the sale price and the amount to the check to the person who would be picking up the instrument. The victim deposited the check and later was advised by the bank that the bank upon which the check had been drawn notified them the check was fraudulent. Postal Service tracking advised the victim the check was sent from San Diego, Calif. Victim still has possession of

Mobile Meals concert slated in Farragut July 22
■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Cassadee Pope, who won NBC’s “The Voice” last year, will perform a concert to benefit Mobile Meals at the Cotton Eyed Joe in Farragut Monday, July 22. Q100 is hosting the benefit concert, said Mike Hammond, Knox County commissioner and program director for Q100. “After she won ‘The Voice,’ she got a record deal with Republic Nashville, and so she has her first single out and she is going around the country visiting different cities,” Hammond said. “And I had asked if she could come to Knoxville, and they worked it out for her to come on the 22nd and it also worked out for her to do this benefit for the Mobile Meals program.” “[Pope’s] record label, Republic Nashville, has been involved with stamping out hunger campaigns,” Hammond said. “Knowing that, I thought this would be a great tie-in. ... So they’re actually flying her in from Los Angeles that morning to get her here that evening.” Hammond added, “If they come, I think they will be very See CONCERT on Page 4A

mitted,” Nease added. Moreover, Nease said the rain in the first few days of July “was just horrendous, and it messed all of our trapping up. … We’ll have fewer samples when it rains.” “We follow the Center For Disease Control’s policy or plan on how to respond to West Nile Virus,” Nease added. Suffering mosquito bites should not be any call for alarm, Nease said, especially during a weekly period when no West Nile was detected in the particular part of Knox County where you were bitten. To avoid such bites, Nease said to “use repellent or wear longsleeved light-colored clothing, especially late in the afternoon and early in the morning when they’re more prevalent. … They’re not drawn to the light colors.” In the Farragut area, KCHD tests “off Choto Road,” Nease said. “We’ve been down there for several years. … This one community [near Choto] has a lot of standing water in it. It’s an area that we’ve worked with a long time trying to make sure we keep it under control. There’s a huge retention pond that retains a lot of water. … Got a lot of history of having a lot of mosquito breeding going on.” KCHD “shoots for Thursdays” between 9 p.m. and midnight to
spray after conformation of West Nile, Nease said, which has been determined after testing trapped mosquitoes the previous Friday in most cases. Any citizens out in their yard, or walking in the road and/or sidewalk in a subdivision being sprayed can jeopardize the spraying effort. “We have those problems where people come out of their houses … we shut the machine off and do not spray their area,” Nease said, emphasizing that KCHD gives out public warnings, both in signage and in advertising, about upcoming spraying locations and times — usually beginning the Monday before a Thursday spraying. “Sometimes we’ll stop and see if they’ll go in their homes. If they don’t we’ll turn the machine off and bypass them,” he added. “And that reduces the effectiveness of our spraying effort. Some people just won’t

• When the Tennessee legislature removed [its] parks [firearms] carry ban in 2009, they allowed local governments to keep their preexisting bans. We now have the opportunity to get the town of Farragut to remove [its] ban. Four years of non events by permit holders shows that permit holders can be trusted to be lawfully armed in parks, and should not be forced to make a choice between enjoying a park, and being able to defend themselves. • Concerning the Russell House: a 210-year-old historic home that the town of Farragut hopes to save from destruction. If you are the opposing citizen to this project, you must be a transient to the Concord/Farragut area in the last 40 years, we forgive your ignorance of our own history. You seem to be unhappy with every improvement the town of Farragut makes and with that kind of unhappiness I think that you might want to go back from where you migrated. Those of us who are descendants of David Campbell, Samuel Martin, Matthew, Robert and Avery Russell thank the town of Farragut for saving what is left of our history. If one knows so much about real estate in the Farragut area, then I am sure you know you pay no property taxes to the Town and the .009 percent of 1 cent Sales Tax you might pay would not buy a tile for the roof of that house. Get a life, enjoy the four parks and miles of walking trails provided, which is more than any other small town in Tennessee. Give thanks you live in one of the most beautiful communities in
America. • Just a suggestion for anyone who takes occasional walks in Farragut Campbell Station Library Park, stop and deadhead a few marigolds. It will keep them alive and they will keep blooming for a much longer time and become a lot larger. • I would like to comment on all the fireworks that are being shot in Bent Tree subdivision. I’ve called the Knox County Sheriff’s Department for the last six years and they have not done anything about this. I understand the fireworks are illegal and I need to know who is supposed to enforce this law. And also, I have had them come into my yard, on top of my house and I’ve told the Sheriff’s Department this and still nothing is being done about it. I want to know who is supposed to enforce this. I am getting real tired of this. And they are also shooting fireworks when it not a holiday in this subdivision. This is the worst place I have ever seen for fireworks. • As a resident of Farragut I would just like to say it’s great that we have certain grocery stores that offer great pricing and discounts on gas. [Inaudible] confrontation and rudeness I have witnessed is unbelievable. I’d just like to say I find it personally ironic and silly to see people with $35,000 vehicles cursing one another to save five or six dollars on a fillup. I just think the good folks of Farragut can do better. • I just heard on the news that the Zimmerman case in Florida, that he was found not guilty. It turns out it was a clear case of self-defense once all the
facts, as in the truth, came out. Because of the sensationalized and inflammatory media coverage, I assumed that this guy was guilty. It turns out that Travon Martin was not the innocent child he was being portrayed by the prosecution and it also turns out that a lot of the clips shown on the news about what Zimmerman said had been edited to be especially inflammatory. Also, the district attorney of that area skipped going to the Grand Jury. That being said, we need to get our civic and community leaders and law enforcement to obey the law, to look at all the facts before they proceed and start throwing profiling, racism, hatred, ugly words and making accusatory and inflammatory remarks. This kid is gone and that is sad. Unfortunately, he brought it on himself. Zimmerman has to live with this the rest of his life, but he did not commit murder. It was selfdefense. • Once again this week somebody has called in all up in arms and upset because someone has dared to criticize something about their church. The point that everybody has been trying to make by calling in about their concerns with traffic on Kingston Pike and having a lane shut down going east has to do about public safety and basic courtesy and common sense — nothing more; nothing less. It seems these people are very sensitive and I guess in some respects they have a right to do because the reputation of their church was severely tarnished several years ago by some of the decisions made by the previous administration. That being said,
yes, we all know that the church does a lot of good things in the community. But, being a good neighbor is more than just sending out the kids from the school once or twice a year to pick up trash in people’s front yards — you know, sticks, weeds and so forth. It’s about being a good neighbor 365 days a year, which encompasses common sense, common courtesy and public safety. • I agree with the person [who] complained about the town of Farragut plan to buy the Russell House. $1.5 million for the said property is outrageously high. If the Town has extra money to spend, the Town should donate some of that money to Farragut schools maybe, the schools can certainly use the money for all sorts of projects. The Town can also donate money to the Farragut Branch Library; the library can always use money to expand their collection of books, etc. Meals on Wheels for Knox County elderly can use some money. Farragut is part of Knox County, so helping the residents of Knox County is a worthwhile project. The Town could also keep the extra money in a reserve for future use in a worthwhile project. No need to waste money on purchasing the Russell House. • Had to laugh when I read in presstalk last week someone claiming his or her family was taking the high road, never complaining about things and always looking for the good. Yet, what were you doing but complaining about the callers and offering a sarcastic solution? Kind of hypocritical or typical for Farragut.

either a fire extinguisher or water hose ready “just in case some ashes fall.” Upon emptying a charcoal grill, “Make sure the ashes are put into a metal container,” Johnson said. “Don’t put them immediately in your trash can … wet them down, put them in something metal and leave them outside for a few days.” For propane grills in use, Johnson said the Town recommends “at least 18 to 24 inches” distance from your house, deck railing or any other obstacle. “You really need to read the
[grill] instructions.” As for landscaping concerns, Johnson said to check for “dry, woody type of landscaping materials close to the house.” As for fire extinguisher use and care, “The Town offers, through our Fire Prevention Office probably every six months, a fire extinguisher training class,” Johnson said. Short of that is remembering PASS. “What that means is pull the pin, aim, squeeze and sweep,” Johnson said. “Don’t get yourself cornered in a situation where you’re trying to
fight the fire,” he added. “Fire extinguishers are for small fires.” For all but the smallest fires, “Call 911,” Johnson said. Maintenance-wise, “You should check your extinguisher monthly,” Johnson said. “We recommend that you get it serviced once a year by a licensed extinguishing contractor.” For more information, call Town’s Fire Marshal’s Office at 865-675-2384. Not to be forgotten, “Make sure you have a working smoke detector,” Johnson said.

Corks serves up Knox Craft Beer Week ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Corks Wine and Spirits, 11668 Parkside Drive, served up a special beer tasting to celebrate Knoxville Craft Beer Week Friday evening, June 28. The new wine and spirits store in Farragut brought in a representative from Blue Pants Brewery and Taproom so customers could experience a different type of craft beer. Blue Pants, a company from Madison, Ala, brought in three flavors to expand the taste buds of Farragut residents. “We have a great high gravity beer selection, and Knox Beer Week is a great opportunity to showcase that aspect of the store,” Corks owner and certified sommelier Ryan McElveen said. Knoxville Beer Week tastings and events took place every day from Saturday, June 22, until Saturday, June 29 both in and around Knoxville. The first day
included a number of kick-off events such as the Flying Pints 5k, benefiting Eternal Valor, the Big Kahuna Wing Fest downtown, a kayaking and canning event on the Tennessee River and more. However, Corks was the only Farragut store to participate in the festivities throughout the entire week. “We are a full service wine and spirits store … Knoxville has provided Knoxville Beer Week, and it seemed like a natural fit … we wanted to be a part of that in any way,” McElveen said. He believes that craft beer brands such as Blue Pants add variety to the typical beer selections most people are used to buying. “You no longer are handcuffed to big brands. There are other options now,” he said. Corks carries more than 140 high gravity beer brands, a fact that McElveen believes many customers look past. “In addition to having great

Hardin Valley Academy hosted its second annual STEM Camp at the school June 17-21, hoping to turn the gears on in the brains of rising second-through seventhgraders, igniting new passions for this field. Debbie Sayers, HVA’s science, technology, engineering and math academy dean and science teacher, organizes the entire camp with the goal of sharing her passion with the next generation by “generating interest in STEM disciplines,” as she likes to say. “If you capture kids’ attention and interest early, then they’ll stay with it longer. That’s the goal … to let them see that STEM and health science stuff is interesting and intriguing, and there’s so
much to learn,” Sayers said. “Then if they think that’s fun and exciting, they’ll go back to their elementary schools, and when their teachers go to teach science or math, they’ll be real enthusiastic about it,” she added. The camp experienced a significant increase in registrations from last summer, accepting students from more than six area schools and even a camper from Charlotte, NC. The high influx in campers meant a larger demand for volunteers, but it was not an issue to get people to agree to help. Sayers had no idea how responsive the teachers of HVA would be when the request was made. “When I sent the initial e-mail and just asked for volunteers, the See STEM on Page 11A

I left a freezer "Hello?" full of food, some to "How ya doin'?" cook from scratch "Good, I'm watchin’ (scratch that option, the Gladiator." (Terry Terry can cook rice premeditated a murder and boil eggs) and mystery and gory movie soups and entrées he stack of DVDs to watch Pam could simply defrost while I was gone.) and heat.

"Uh, like broccoli and berries?" "Nope, corn chips and wine." "Corn chips and wine? Honey you've got to eat better than that!" "I will. I just got to eatin' the chips and I sorta filled up on 'em." After three nights of "vegetables and fruits" Terry got tired of that meal and ate a little better the rest of the week (so I'm told). As we've talked more about our individual experiences while away from each other, several restaurants crept into his conversations. I was sort of jealous.
We don't eat out much because I love to cook and because I'm a good cook, restaurants have a hard time competing with me. I'll think as I look over a menu, 'Don't want that, I can make it better, that's not as good as homemade, that's too much money, I can cook it for an eighth of that price.' I do love to eat in restaurants however, but I follow my KISS rule (keep it special sweety) so it's once a week at the most and I look for things I don't like to cook like fish. (I don't like it stinking up my house and Terry says I can only cook it the night
before garbage collection day.) Someone once said, "Hunger is the best sauce." I have found that I enjoy being hungry because it makes my meal taste better when it's time to eat. A snack robs me of the sauce produced by hunger! As the hour approaches for a meal, instead of eating a snack, I let my hunger come into play for the sole purpose of enjoying it. In order to play with this, you have to intend to enjoy the feeling of being hungry. By playing my hunger game I’ve learned the difSee YOUNG on Page 13A

Singletary reflects back to mother during speech at FBC
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A discussion of faith, family and football, in Farragut at First Baptist Church Concord, came from a famous NFL Hall of Famer. Michael Singletary’s story, as told to an FBC audience Saturday evening, June 22, was one of fighting hardship, forgiveness, fueling up for his future and a fantastic mother. “I remember at 12 years old, my dad left home. I was the last of 10 kids,” said Singletary, Chicago Bears Hall of Fame linebacker and current linebackers coach for the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings, during a local stop on his Christian speaking tour to help FBC’s Helping Hands Adult Ministry raise funds. Singletary addressed “teenagers who may not have a dad, I don’t want you to feel left behind.” He also addressed other teenagers and parents — specifically single parents. “I remember what that felt like when I was standing at the back door and I watched my dad walk away. … I was torn with so many different feelings. And I just remembered thinking, ‘Did I have anything to do with this?’” he said. “I remember my mother praying and crying through the nights. … She worked literally 23
hours a day for a couple of years. We came very close to losing our home,” added Singletary, former San Francisco 49ers head coach. His mother had some big words for her youngest son. “‘Son, I just want you to know, I need you to become the man of the house,’” Singletary recalled. “You don’t realize that I had already given up. “And then she did something that really changed my life: she put her hands on my forearm and said, ‘Son, I need you, I need you to go to school and do your very best. I’ve got to go to work,’” he added. “For the first time I realized that she really needed me. And that day, at 12 years old, I wrote out my vision statement: … ‘find a way to get a scholarship, become an All-American; get my degree; get drafted and go to the NFL; build my mom a house; become an All-star and own my own business.’” Singletary recalled one request he made of his mother — saying she’s “the most unselfish person I’ve ever known” — with a promise to pay her back with an allstar football career if she could come through. “‘If you can’t do it, I understand. … Mom, I need three meals a day. If you can do that, somehow, some way, I’m going to make you so proud.”

Master Seong J. Eun is celebrating 25 years in Farragut, a quarter century teaching students of all ages confidence, respect and humility through martial arts training. Owner of Eun’s Martial Arts Center, 11110 Kingston Pike in Aspen Square, since 1988, Eun is a former South Korean Marine who has trained Marines as a taekwondo instructor. Coming to the United States in 1987, “I wanted to teach the American people taekw o n d o , karate,” said Eun, 52, a Master Eun martial arts instructor for 32 years. As for why he came to Farragut, “I had family living here,” Eun said. With 260 students currently training under Eun among “more than 12” center instructors, the martial arts master estimates “around 1,700” have received training at EMAC during the 25 years. One of his instructors “was learning under me when he was 4 or 5 years old,” Eun said. “One instructor, 25 years I’ve been teaching him.” Conveniently for Eun, martial arts instruction “is my hobby and my full-time job,” he said. “I
love to teach martial arts. “For example, every single day I’m very excited about my class. I enjoy. … Children class, teenager class or adult class.” Growing up in South Korea, Eun said he started learning martial arts at age 8. Despite having a lot to learn as a child, “Confidence was not a problem for me. “My master is a very old instructor now,” Eun added without giving his name. Remaining in contact with his master, “The rest of my life I cannot forget him. He’s very important to me,” Eun said. Saying she was impressed with the instructors and how Eun has helped instill discipline into her son, one Farragut mother pinpointed Eun’s reputation. “He used to work with The University of Tennessee athletes, so I knew he had a good background, including Korea as well,” said Melissa Cate, who son, Jonathan, 8, (pictured above with Eun) already has earned a black belt while under Eun’s instruction for about four years. “I was referred to him by several friends that I really respected,” she added. “He’s part of our family now, and he treats us like family.” Eun said most of his beginning students are “learning [starting] between 4- and 8years-old.” Among Eun’s current students is his youngest ever, at “3-and-ahalf,” he said. “In 25 years, that’s the first time” for a student that young.

church,” he said. “And we love Jesus, but we really didn’t want to make a big deal out of it actually.” So what resulted was a wedding at Regal Cinemas Pinnacle Stadium 18 & IMAX theater on December 12, 2012 (or 12/12/12). “We did it at a movie theater because that’s kind of a staple of our livelihood and our relationship,” he said. “So we showed up at the Pinnacle, and it took about 15 minutes and we got married in the front area where they take the tickets when you first walk in.”

Farragut High School’s Michael David Greene Memorial Scholarship honorees for 2012-13 are seniors Susie Jensen, left, and Abigail Icenhour. This scholarship, annually awarded to an FHS senior, including one member of Marching Admirals band, is named in honor of former FHS student Michael David Greene. Despite being diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a malignant and inoperable brain tumor, in 1992 at age 14, Michael took a full load of courses while homebound as a sophomore, including Honors courses in Algebra II and Chemistry, and earned a 4.0 grade point average. Michael died Sept. 25, 1994, at age 16.

response was overwhelming. The teachers here, the staff here, they really want to get involved, help the kids, and transferring that to younger kids is just the same thing,” Sayers said. A total of 45 teachers donated their time throughout the week, whether teaching, organizing, leading or preparing activities for the kids to do. There also were 47 student volunteers, three parents and two teachers from elementary schools. Diversifying the camp even more was the fact that the teachers and students had representatives from all four academies and subject areas.

mended the school, he said. “Out of all the colleges I visited and applied for, that one felt the best to me,” he said. Right now Buckman plans to major in mathematics, though that could change, he said. “My mom’s a math teacher, so I think that helped,” he said. “But
that’s always just a class that I thought was my favorite and the easiest through high school, so why not give it a try?” Buckmanwould like to be an actuarial scientist or a statistician, he said. “Since it’s such a useful skill, even if I decide not to be a statistician, I can still apply mathematics to most any other job I want to choose,” he said.
He will go to Columbia, S.C. in August. He said he is not nervous about going to an out-of-state school. “I think that it’s kind of a nice distance, to get a tad bit of freedom but still be able to visit when I want to or need to,” he said. “So the distance doesn’t really scare me. I’m thinking about saving up and getting a car, so I could come back whenever I want to.”

It makes a nice, satisfying thunking sound.”

Young From page 8A
ference between real hunger and false hunger brought on by habit. Habit hunger is what you experience after you've eaten dinner and you're watching TV and you think, 'popcorn sounds good,’ or ‘I wonder if there's any ice cream left.' You're really not hungry you’re just wanting to eat while you watch the program. If you want to play with your hunger, try this: skip lunch and don't snack in the afternoon. You’ll start really being hungry around 2:00 pm and hunger thoughts (I think it’s your inner child) will start messing with you. You'll be minding your own business and you'll find yourself in the kitchen without remembering you walked in there. If you’re at work you'll catch yourself diving into your purse for money for the snack machine. Your sense of
smell will be acute and you'll smell people's gum, and if you take a walk in the area of restaurants you'll become like a Bassett Hound ruled by your nose. If you want to try this be sure to be in full control of your portions at dinner and remember to eat mindfully or you could turn this learning experience into an overeating session. All this talk of food is making me hungry. Dinner is two hours away. I’m playing with my hunger. I’m playing with my hunger. I’m playing with my hunger. For more from Pam Young go to www.makeitfunanditwillgetdone.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.

Beautification awards presented ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
The 30th annual Landscape Beautification Awards were presented at the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting June 13. Winners included Jefferson Federal Bank, Ingles Market, Hampton Inn, Clarity Pointe, First Baptist Concord, Fox Den and Parkside Plaza. “One of the reasons Farragut was founded in 1980 was a need to control land use and zoning, and part of that comes with green and beautification and a certain level of maintenance,” said Sue Stuhl, parks & leisure services director. “And this goes right hand-in-hand with that.” Winners were chosen by category, and the categories were commercial/office building, commercial/retail building, hotel/motel, multi-family residential complex, religious institution, residential entrance and retail commercial complex. Hotel/motel was a new category this year, Stuhl said, because of the number of them in town. “It’s wonderful that we can have a specific category for them,” she said. People from the Beautification Committee decided the awards, she said. A press release stated, “The criteria for evaluating each area included landscape design, selection of plant material, visual appeal and general maintenance of landscaped areas.” Marty Rodgers, chair of the Beautification Committee, said the judging takes place in one day. “I suppose that one of the things we are attracted to is color in the plants,” Rodgers said. “If they’re blooming, blossoming, then that’s always an appeal to us, and the maintaining of it seems to bring about comments.” In particular, the judges’ first impression of Clarity Pointe Knoxville was favorable, Rodgers said. “When we drove up to Clarity Pointe this year, almost in unison, everyone was oohing and ahhing because we thought it was so beautiful,” she said.

Winners of the 30th annual Landscape Beautification Awards included Jefferson Federal Bank, Ingles Market, Hampton Inn, Clarity Pointe, First Baptist Concord, Fox Den and Parkside Plaza.
Doug Oliver, Clarity Pointe Knoxville executive director, said, “We’re honored to receive the award, having been opened only a short amount of time. As a new community, we’re very proud of our campus, both inwardly, for the serene and dignified lifestyle we provide, and
outwardly, as it showcases beauty to residents and staff, as well as those who visit or pass by.” Amy Barnett, First Baptist Concord campus operations manager, said getting picked for the award was humbling. “We were humbled to see that our hard work was recognized
because we do work very hard to keep our facility nice, so that’s it’s welcoming to the community,” Barnett said. “... We do try to coordinate our annuals with the season to provide color to the campus, since we do have so much greenspace.”
Restaurant Linderhof moving to Renaissance ■ ROBBY O’DANIEL
rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Seasons Café at Renaissance | Farragut has closed, and Restaurant Linderhof will move to Renaissance | Farragut. The last day of operation for Seasons Café at Renaissance | Farragut was June 30, said Deron Little, Seasons Café owner and executive chef. “When we first opened that particular restaurant — by the way, it’s been a wonderful restaurant and the flagship of Seasons — but when we first opened, started building, eight years ago, the vision for that development was to have 15 buildings put up, and due to the economy, the developers quit building,” Little said. “And it
was just a challenging, challenging location for a restaurant. ... I decided to close the Farragut location, so that I could commit all my time and efforts to the Turkey Creek and Bearden locations.” Noah Myers, of Myers Brothers Holdings, said, “The economy has been challenging; however, building a 33,000square-foot office building at Renaissance as we speak, so we’re trying to make up for lost time.” Aaron Schmissrauter, owner of Restaurant Linderhof, said he considers the Myers brothers to be Town leaders. “I befriended the Myers brothers inside the restaurant one night eating, and they liked what I was doing,”
Schmissrauter said. “And we held an Oktoberfest down there, and it went real well, and I think one thing led to another.” Restaurant Linderhof will add lunch, he said. “It’s not just going to have German menu items,” he said. “... We’re going to have a hamburger. We’re going to have a club sandwich. We’re going to have different salads, chef salads, Caesar salad, have some lighter options, soup options.” He said the lunch would be affordable, quick and light. “Our service is centered around the customer,” he said. “If you want to take all day, we’ll accommodate that. If you want to be in and out, we’ll accommodate that too.” The dinner menu will be
expanded, as well, he said. “The dinner is going to really stick to what we do,” he said. “Like I said, we’re just going to incorporate some more steakhouse options.” He called Renaissance | Farragut “an up-and-coming attractive center.” “We might be trying to do a beer garden with the patio out there, and we’re really excited about that,” he said. Restaurant Linderhof concentrates on the simple things, he said. “Visiting with friends, good food, taking your time, breathing it all in, I think that embodies what it means to be in an oldworld restaurant,” he said. “But we do accommodate, like I say, whatever pace of the customer.”

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
The scent of high school football Friday nights to come, minus bands and uniforms, could be detected at Farragut’s Bill Clabo Field late Tuesday morning and early afternoon, July 9. Passing League practice, 7-on7, began last week and found Campbell County’s skill position offensive and defensive players, plus linebackers, traveling south to work against Eddie Courtney’s Farragut Admirals. Rising senior Billy Williams, one of FHS’s top receiving targets in 2012, said having competition to work against “is good because it helps, like, because when we go against each other in practice, like most people know each other, know what we’re going to do. “But this team really didn’t know what we were going to do,” Williams added about what was a series of 10-play interchanging workouts for each team’s first and second string defenses and offenses on one side of the field. The other side, in a similar 10play interchange, found FHS and Campbell County freshmen. “Of course, we were rusty, but
we just come out looking to dominate.” Rising senior Bryan Phillips, FHS returning quarterback, said about Tuesday’s execution, “I thought it went pretty well for the first competition we’ve had since spring. “Obviously there’s some things that we need to work on. I made some bad reads,” Phillips added. “We just all need to work together; work on the little things, like running routes right and focusing on catching the football. “On the defensive side of the ball as well.” Williams said the passing game “brings a lot more things that go along with it” versus the running game, making 7-on-7 work especially important. Look for Williams to possibly become Phillips’ main target in 2013. “I’m expecting big things out of him this year,” Phillips said of Williams, 17. Making mention of last year’s disastrous 3-7 record — the program’s worst since 2001 — “We’re just trying to prepare ourselves every day, that’s why we work hard,” Williams said. Following the end of spring See 7-ON-7, page 3B

7-on-7 From page 2B
practice in May leading up to last week, Phillips, 17, said receivers and quarterbacks have “set up their own stuff after workouts, after hitting the weights. … Usually twice a week. We tell everyone to go out there and throw. Anywhere from 10 to 12 receivers will be out there.” As for a specific workout schedule, “coach [Rusty] Partin
will give us a list of things to do. If he wants us to work on our short game, it will be about 30 minutes,” Phillips added. “But if he wants us to go all through our route tree, it could be up to an hour, maybe.” Farragut’s 7-on-7 play was highlighted by an annual “allday” 7-on-7 tournament at Maryville College Saturday morning and afternoon, July 13. Farragut will be prominently featured, among nine Farragut-
West Knox-area teams, in 2013 farragutpress high school football preview section in Thursday, Aug. 15 issue. Lenoir City, Grace Christian Academy and perennial Class 6A power Maryville will be profiled alongside FHS and five other traditional farragutpress preview teams: Hardin Valley Academy, Bearden, Christian Academy of Knoxville, Knoxville Catholic and Webb School of Knoxville.
