Thompson appointed interim FHS principal ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A former business teacher at Farragut High School during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 school years returns to lead FHS as its new principal for the 2014-15 school year. Stephanie Thompson, with three years administrative experience as freshman principal at Austin-East Magnet High School, was appointed as new FHS principal — on an interim basis for
the upcoming school year — Friday, July 25, by Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., Knox County Schools superintendent. An educator for 15 years, the Thompson last nine with KCS, “Ms. Thompson has an excellent record as a high school
administrator and has distinguished herself as an instructional leader at the high school level,” McIntyre said via e-mail. “I believe she will continue the strong academic focus and exceptional student success that are hallmarks of Farragut High School.” While Thompson also has taught at Halls and Austin-East high schools, “Her most recent assignment was as supervisor of federal programs … for the Knox County Schools for just over one
year,” a KCS press release stated. As for why Thompson was chosen on an interim basis for 201415 versus long term, “We believe taking the time to go through a comprehensive search process will help identify the selection of the best qualified and most capable leader for the long term at Farragut High School,” the KCS press release stated. “We anticipate the comprehensive search and selection process to appoint a permanent principal at Farragut High School will take
several months.” Though no list of potential candidates was released by KCS at deadline, “Ms. Thompson may apply if she so desires,” the press release stated. Attempts to contact Thompson Monday and Tuesday prior to deadline were unsuccessful. Thompson takes over from Michael Reynolds, who McIntyre appointed as principal at Central High School earlier this summer.
Wiser takes on Witt for Register of Deeds job
Early voting ends Aug. 2

Early voting for the town of Farragut municipal and Knox County general elections and state of Tennessee and federal primary elections ends Saturday, Aug. 2. Election Day at assigned precincts is slated for Thursday, Aug. 7, at assigned precincts.

Independent candidate Donald M. Wiser is making a unique pledge in his bid to become Knox County Register of Deeds — in addition to his pledge to serve just one four-year term. If elected in his campaign versus Republican incumbent Sherry Witt, Wiser said he would “just pack my bags up and resign” after two years if failing to get a referendum to vote on changing the county Charter: combining the Register of Deeds, Property Assessor and Trustee offices into one a “money-saving” office. Also part of that referendum to change the charter, Wiser added, is to make this combined office a Human Resources appointment and not an elected “political” position.
“I think I can get it on the Charter in two years, to do what I want to get done,” said Wiser, a United States Navy veteran who served 24 years as Knoxville Police Department officer. Unless, “People decided to keep the old antiquated ways,” he added. Witt has been Register of Deeds since being appointed in 2007. She won a special elelction in 2008, then was elected to her first full term in 2010. “You don’t want the same person that is setting your tax rate to be collecting your taxes,” Witt, serving in her 30th year as an employee in that office, said. “… They are separated for a reason, and that works not only in Tennessee but across the country. … Working up here all these years has given me a better See DEEDS on Page 4A

Town of Farragut announced the addition of Athanasia Lewis, a fellow from The University of Tennessee Municipal Technical Advisory Service, to its staff. “We have a new fellow with us from MTAS,” Town administrator David Smoak said. “She just started a couple weeks ago, and she is going to be working with us and, from there, going on to Oak Ridge and the cities of Alcoa and Maryville. “We will have [Lewis] again this time next year,” he added. “Athanasia was selected from dozens of applicants as the top candidate for the fellowship program,” Smoak said. “Her previous experience in local government will be an asset while assisting on various projects throughout the course of her fellowship.” “I applied for the MTAS
Fellowship to gain more experience in local government across departments and this fellowship provides an opportunity to work in four unique communities with seasoned city/town Lewis managers,” Lewis said. “I am grateful to have been selected for this invaluable opportunity and hope to add value in each community as well.” She is starting the first of her two three-month commitments to the Town, which partnered with The University of Tennessee’s MTAS, Alcoa, Maryville and Oak Ridge to participate in the fellowship program. Chelsey Riemann, Town public
relations coordinator, said four fellows have completed MTAS’s Public Management Fellow Program since 2006, and two are currently participating. “The program’s purpose is to prepare fellows for a career in local government by training them in various cities under differing management styles over a two-year period,” Riemann said. “The program provides a win-win relationship. “Municipalities benefit by having a qualified post-master’s in public administration graduate fellow to produce quality work, and fellows benefit from the opportunity to work under four experienced city managers,” she said. In 2009, Lewis received a Master’s of Public Administration degree with a focus in environmental policy from UT Knoxville. Between May 2008 and

Those interested in sponsoring a tree can donate between $200 and $250 and choose from more than a dozen tree varieties, Smelser said, adding the donor does not have to be a Town resident to participate.

The smaller trees, such as dogwoods, run $200 each while the larger trees run $250 each, he added. “Depending on where they want to plant the tree, the Town staff evaluates the location,” Smelser said. “With assistance from Town staff, a location will be chosen for the tree, which will be installed during the optimal planting season of November or December.” He added Town staff looks at the donor’s choices to see which Department on sustainability/ environmental initiatives, grants and special projects for the city manager.

Foster supports Pinchok I am writing this letter to encourage those of you on the southside of Kingston Pike (Ward II), to vote for and elect Ron Pinchok your alderman. I have known Ron and Debbie for 20 years (worked with Debbie for most of that time) and have found both to be hardworking, civic-minded people. Their three sons are graduates of the Farragut school system as well as The University of Tennessee. Ron has proven to be an honest, hard working and energetic public servant with his work in the community as a volunteer for the Town’s Parks and Recreation Committee. He has also volunteered for the Economic Development Committee for over two years, and recently was elected chairman of the EDC. Ron is quite interested in working to find ways to fill all those large empty retail spaces, as well as finding use for the many vacant buildings in our community that are quickly becoming eyesores. Ron is also for a more business friendly community and wants to change the perception to a more positive attitude about Farragut and private business. Our main source of revenue comes from Sales tax dollars which we need to fund all of the wonderful things we want to accomplish for
Pinchok asks for votes For those of you who have been supporting me and helping with my campaign I want to publicly thank all of you. For those of you who do not yet know me, I am a 26 year resident of Farragut. I raised three boys in the Farragut schools and all three are graduates of The University of Tennessee. Farragut is my home and I am very proud of our beautiful community. I retired from Hallmark Cards in 2010 after 35 years in sales and marketing and several years in market development. I quickly realized I wanted to “give back” to our community by volunteering. I am an “independent voice” and have no ties to any special interest groups. My campaign has received no financial contributions. In 2011, I applied and was appointed to be on the Parks and Athletics Committee and last
our community including possibly a community center as well as expansion of our parks and greenways. We need these and they need us — and we really need Ron Pinchok. Remember, early voting began July 18, with election taking place on [Thursday] Aug. 7. Please join me in supporting and electing Ron Pinchok our alderman. Jane Foster Farragut
year was elected chairman. In the past few years we presented a plan that was approved by the Board of Mayor and Alderman for the expansion of McFee Park from 25 acres to 50 acres. We also built a new artificial turf multipurpose field at Mayor Bob Leonard Park. I am proud of what we have accomplished the past four years but we still have much more to achieve. In 2012, I applied and was appointed to be on the Economic Development Committee as well. This is a committee that works to attract new local businesses and supports their development and growth. For the past year I have been the chairperson of the EDC. Most of the Town’s revenue comes from Sales Tax. If we want to continue to be a progressive community we need to grow our business community so we can continue to improve our parks and greenways as well as complete other community projects. These are very exciting times for the town of Farragut. With my experience over the past four years working on these committees and working with the Town’s staff, I am the best candidate for Ward 2 Alderman. I am eager to continue to serve the citizens of Farragut and I would very much appreciate your vote in the current election. Ron Pinchok Farragut
• I just wanted to make our neighbors in Farragut aware of an incident that occurred around 7:30 p.m., Monday evening, July 21, off Southwick Circle in Andover Place. Our teenage son was home and answered the door to a man who said he was there to do yard work, trim bushes etc. My son called me and I was pretty certain that was not true but called my husband who was at work. My husband verified it by telling me, no, that was not true. A few minutes later my son called me again. The man gets on the phone telling me he had just spoken with my husband (my son admitted he had) and that it was all good, that my husband had just forgotten and that he’d go ahead and start working. The guy also asked me to go to my ATM on the way home so I could give him cash instead of a check. I thought it all sounded crazy so I called my husband again who told me that it was all not true and he told the man No, he did not want his help. My husband left work and got home and there were three men working in our yard. They told my son they’d been working for us for 15 years. My husband had never seen these guys before. The men were in their mid 20s and obviously desperate for money. My husband asked them to leave and not to return. They left in a gold Mercedes SUV. The police were notified. • Yes, I’m calling about the daylily fellow who was complaining about the signage on McFee Road. I just wanted to say he was complaining about his neighbor
next to him has a donkey that gets to do everything it wants to do. I just wanted to let him know it’s a pony and his name is Captain. I’m sure that if Captain knew he had called him a donkey he would horse laugh him. • Boy, I know I feel better when I have a guy with an MBA and an MPA who writes in to tell us all how to vote. That’s what I wait for every week. • Yes, I pass through the Watt Road extension and Old Stage [Road] intersection multiple times each day from different directions and can see absolutely no reason that a four-way stop sign is needed. • I was just calling about the Farragut Post Office. It’s just amazing how, what the place looks like, the lack of attention to lawn care, cutting the grass, keeping the shrubs and stuff. We’ve got such a nice Farragut facility and across the street is the Post Office. It’s just appalling the condition the Post Office looks in just the appearance. It seems like there should be some codes or it seems like some pressure from the community should be put on the U.S. Post Office in Farragut to really make the Post Office here in our Town look better than it does. I don’t know where the lack of attention is but I just wanted to call and hope that this makes the paper and the community will step up and start talking about it. • I just drove up to the town of Farragut building and it’s just appalling and laughable how many political signs are on the property. You would think the
leadership of the town of Farragut would pass an ordinance where there would just be on their property, just one sign per candidate and that would be sufficient. It’s absolutely appalling and looks totally
ridiculous. The next thing I’m wondering is if they’re going to put a giant gorilla or something out here on the town of Farragut property. I just wanted to call and maybe something could be done about that. It’s embarrass-
ing living in the town of Farragut and then you drive by the Post Office in the town of Farragut and it just looks awful.

and then you could hire you a professional person making $80,000, $90,000 a year,” he added. “You’d have them in line waiting to take that office.” As for Wiser’s qualifications for office, “I have more education than she does. I have more experience that she does,” he said. “… I am educated to think, not trained just to do a job.” Witt, however, said Wiser “doesn’t know anything about the Register’s office and had never shown an interest in the
Register’s office” until Knox County Election Commission ruled in February that Wiser did not meet all qualifications to run for Knox County Sheriff. “I can’t take his candidacy seriously,” she added. Witt, Wiser said, “Was trained in backdoor politics” as an alleged political ally of Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones. … “That takes away your vision and forethought.” Witt, president of The Register’s Association of
Tennessee representing all 95 counties, fired back that Wiser apparently is angry with Jones. Moreover, “There’s never been any controversy in the Register’s office,” she added. Early voting continues through Saturday, Aug. 2. Election day is Thursday, Aug. 7. Though saying he wasn’t sure how many employees Witt’s office currently has, “I know it has more employees than “Chattanooga and Nashville and these other places,” Wiser said.
“Through attrition I would streamline it down,” which includes trimming down “middle management people that they have.”

understanding of exactly how it works and why it works.” Wiser said the Trustee, Register of Deeds and Property Assessor “all do the same job. You’re paying out $2.5 million or more a year just for that upper management part. … Everybody’s trying to protect their own turf and keep their own little thing going. “Take all that politics out of it

Pence ‘the fan’ also likes UT players, support ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A love affair with coaches, players and academic support within the Tennessee Volunteers’ Baseball program was a huge selling point for Duncan Pence of Farragut High School. However, “I chose UT because I’ve always been a UT fan,” Pence, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound AllRegion 2-AAA shortstop and rising junior, said, after committing to head coach Dave Serrano’s Baseball Vols in mid-July. “I love the university and I’m very interested in everything they do. “I kind of had my mind made up about where I wanted to go,” he added. “It’s always been UT. I didn’t see a point in dragging it along any longer. … Just get it over with.” Pence said he wants to help Serrano and his staff “get the program back to where it’s supposed to be. … I love all the coaches and I know a bunch of the players there.” “I felt like they can help me out a lot, and I want to help them out, too. I had a conversation with Nick Senzel about it,” Pence said about the former FHS All-state infielder and Freshman All-American at UT in 2014, “. … He said there’s a bunch of positive attributes to the university, like they have a bunch of academic support, which will be helpful with how busy my schedule will be. You have a lot of support systems there with your coaches and with your academic advisor.
“He said he loves it, so it seems to fit me pretty well.” In addition, “The academic situation fits me perfectly,” Pence said. As for where he’ll play for the Vols, “From what I’ve heard and everything, and what I’ve talked to coach Serrano about, I’m pretty sure shortstop is where I’ll be,” Pence said. As a sophomore last spring, Pence hit .377 (clean-up spot in the line-up) with nine home runs and 38 RBIs in helping to lead Farragut to the program’s ninth Class AAA state title. Playing summer ball tournaments in Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina with 17-andunder Diamond Baseball Simcox Academy, Pence recalled one tournament in Nashville where “I batted around .360.” Overall this summer, “I think I’ve played pretty well,” Pence said. Defensively, Pence said he’s mostly been at shortstop with a little work at third base. “I’ve made almost all my plays in the field. And I’ve batted pretty well, too. I’ve had three home runs and only struck out, maybe like, twice,” he added. Should Pence continue to mature and improve, to the point of possibly being a high enough Major League Baseball draft choice, the rising junior said about signing a Minor League contract and kissing the Vols goodbye, “I think it’ll be a possibility. But I’d have to get quite a bit of money because I really want to go to UT,” Pence added.

Mike Wegzyn is coming home —- well sort of. Wegzyn, who was Knoxville Catholic High School’s quarterback during the 2011 season, is returning to Knoxville and he’ll play his final two years of college football at The University of Tennessee. Wegzyn returns to East Tennessee after spending the previous three years at the University of Massachusetts. He redshirted as a freshman in Amherst then started at quarterback for two seasons (21 Mike Wegzyn, UMass quartergames, 14 starts, completing back, playing at “The Big 231-of-447 passes, 51.7 perHouse” versus Michigan. centage, for 2,428 yards, nine TDs and 17 interceptions). so I felt like I was at home The Michigan native, who right away. moved with his family to Knox “I knew some of the older County before the 2010 footguys on the team and at the ball season, graduated from spring game, I knew more peoUMASS with a kinesiology ple who graduated.

That was good because it helped me grow up a little bit. I loved the school in Amherst.” Having already played before a huge crowd at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Wegzyn grew up outside Detroit and cheered for the Michigan Wolverines. Wegzyn relished his opportunity to play at the venue commonly dubbed “The Big House” while he was a member of the Minutemen. “I’ve already gotten the chance to play at the Big House and that was fun,” he said. “I think I knew half the stadium.” As for adjustments, “I came from a spread offense in Amherst and at Tennessee we run some of the same plays,” Wegzyn said. “ ... Right now, I’m spending a lot of time in the film room and trying to learn a new offense and that takes a lot of my time.” At UT, Wegzyn will pursue his Master’s Degree in kinesiology. After football, Wegzyn said he plans to enroll in the physical therapy program.

Concord Hills swimmer Chandler Ott closed out her club career on a high note Sunday afternoon, July 27, at the 2014 Greater Knoxville Area Interclub Swimming Association City Championship Meet. Ott, an 18-year old who graduated from Bearden High School in the spring, won a pair of events on the city’s biggest stage at The University of Tennessee’s Allan Jones Aquatic Center. Ott’s good fortune began when she won the 15-18 200-yard individual medley (2:29.60) to edge Village Green rival Maggie Melhorn by four one-hundredths of a second. The race marked the second straight year that Ott had beaten Melhorn for the city championship. “It’s great to go out on a high note,” Ott said. “It was great to win this one last time.” As it turned out, Ott wasn’t finished capturing races. She also won the 50-yard butterfly with a time of 26.02 seconds. While Concord Hills finished fifth in the three-day weekend event, Village Green had anoth-

‘Katelyns Wish’ is Eleni’s mission ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Though dying of osteosarcoma (bone cancer) while only a child, Katelyn Norman taught members of the Christopoulos family a lesson about what’s really important. Staying overnight at the Christopoulos family home in Farragut, Katelyn was witnessing Xrisanthe Christopoulos “bickering” with her oldest daughter, Xrista. Xrisanthe recalled Katelyn saying to Xrista, “’Xrista, just do what you need to do, make your grades.’ And what she was trying to say to Xrista was there’s no sense wasting time on bickering and fighting and being upset. “She knew her time was short, she knew that there was not a good outcome for her,” Xrisanthe added about Katelyn. “Katelyn taught us that we shouldn’t waste our time on silly things like fighting and bickering and being angry. And she brought that to our household.” Twelve-year-old Eleni Christopoulos began her fundraising cause, Katelyn’s Wish, at Episcopal School of Knoxville last school year as an 11-year-old sixthgrader in honor of her late friend.
Katelyn was only 13 when she died in April 2013. “Katelyn had a want that there would be money where the cancer patients in the Oncology Clinic [at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital], if they had non-medicals wants,” Eleni said about Katelyn’s Wish proceeds. “If they wanted snacks [for example], they could get different snacks. “I pitched an idea to the student government at ESK,” Eleni added. The end result of that idea came during “Spirit Week” at ESK in mid-May. “Students would wear cancer awareness ribbons throughout the week, and they would make cards for the cancer patients in the oncology clinic. And they would donate bandanas,” Eleni said. “And then, at the end of the week, we had a fundraising dance.” The hospital’s Oncology Clinic received a $409 check from Katelyn’s Wish proceeds at ESK. Eleni, who had known and become good friends with Katelyn for about two years, is looking to bring Katelyn’s Wish to her new school, St. John Neumann Catholic School in Farragut, as a seventhgrader in 2014-15.

Patrick Doucette, left, a 2013 Farragut High School graduate and rising sophomore cadet/football player at Virginia Military Institute, has a laugh with Dan Hipsher, immediate past president of Knoxville Breakfast Rotary Club, after Doucette’s address to The Rotary Club of Farragut during its regular Wednesday lunch meeting, July 9, in Fox Den Country Club.
To the club that awarded him a $1,500 scholarship last year, Patrick Doucette came back to The Rotary Club of Farragut Wednesday, July 9, to account for his first year as a cadet/athlete at Virginia Military Institute. “VMI’s definitely a different experience from most colleges, but I’m glad I’m there,” said Doucette, a 2013 Farragut High School graduate and stellar football lineman who, as a rising VMI sophomore, is slated to start on the Keydets’ offensive line this fall. “It’s a tough experience but it’s taught me a lot of things,” added Doucette, the club’s featured speaker during its regular lunch meeting in Fox Den Country Club. Announcing he earned Dean’s
List honors both semesters of his freshman year, “Academically, you’ve got a real tight schedule,” Doucette said. “It’s a lot of hard work,” which also includes fitting in football practices, meetings and games. Matriculation Day begins Hell Week at VMI, which “is about nine days” just before the start of classes according to Doucette. It includes sleeping “on an elevated piece of wood,” he said.
“You barely have time to meet the roommates that you’re with,” Doucette added. “It’s filled with drills, physical activity, running.” “The Crucible” follows, which is “four or five hours of physical activity. We start out by swimming in the river,” Doucette said. Also included is “an obstacle course.” Known as “Rats” during their first semester, Doucette and his See DOUCETTE on Page 7B

“She was a very nice person, she thought of everyone before herself,” Eleni said about Katelyn, who had been diagnosed with osteosarcoma around age 9 according to Xrisanthe. “And she never got mad or upset, she always had a smile on her face.” Learning from Katelyn’s exam-
ple, Eleni added, “When I get mad or upset there’s really no need because she was the one who was diagnosed with cancer and I don’t have any problems. “And she was always happy.” When Katelyn died, “I spent two days crying about it,” Eleni said.

Microchipped dogs still a rare breed ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Fireworks, cool weather, bunny rabbits or the neighbors on a walk — whatever the distraction or stress factor is for your dog, it sometimes causes them to escape from the house, especially during the summer months. When panic starts after the pooch takes off down the street, is he or she microchipped? Farragut area veterinarians see all lengths of the microchipspectrum. The pet either is microchipped with information registration, not microchipped, or in the middle — microchipped and not information-registered. “When I do see a microchipped dog that is strayed, within 30 minutes the dog is back home. Microchipping really does work and it has gotten dogs back to their homes very quickly,” Dr. Stephanie Hickey, owner of Concord Veterinary Hospital, 204 Watt Road, said. “Unfortunately, it’s a rare occurrence,” she added. There are multiple ways to approach the microchipping process. If a puppy is adopted from a local shelter, he or she typically comes with a chip already in place. Veterinarians also have the ability to insert a chip and register them with the clinic’s information. Occasions also exist when a chip is
inserted and it is left up to the owner to register the information. This is sometimes a skipped step for some, though, and could prevent the pet from ever being reunited with its owner. “Partially it’s an unawareness thing. Not to specify older generations of people, but people who are typically older, middle-aged or elderly, they didn’t do that when they were younger, that didn’t even exist, so when they get a new dog, it just not something that is on their mind. With younger owners, I find that they are more aware of microchipping and tend to be the ones that do microchip,” Hickey added. Sharon McGuire, a Farragut resident and owner of two dogs, chose to get her family pets microchipped as a safety precaution. “It is kind of like insurance. You never really know when you are going to need it, but it’s always there in case you have it,” McGuire said. Dr. Adele Mays, one of the practice owners at Village Veterinary Clinic, 11301 Kingston Pike, also encourages the use and follow through of microchips in both dogs and cats. “I have seen many different microchip scenarios through the years. The chips have evolved and the chip companies have impSee MICROCHIP on Page 6B

roved over time with the options and ease of registration … it is true if the dog is microchipped and it’s never registered then it
can be almost impossible to find an owner and that certainly can be a case, especially with the older chip programs,” Mays said. “You can go in online with the company that monitors the chip, like what I did, I went ahead

fellow VMI freshmen also go through the annual “20 Mile March” in late November. “My dad [Tom] accompanied me on the march. That was good to have somebody with you had already
done it before and kind of knew what was going on,” Doucette said. “Breakout” is another session of demanding physical activity, “one full day,” happening just after cadets return from holiday break early in the new calendar year. “At the end of that day we become ‘Fourth Classmen’ as opposed to
Rats,” Doucette added. “It’s a rewarding day at the end.” However, of the “503 kids” who Doucette said were freshman Rats starting early last fall, “Right now I believe we’re down to maybe 380,” he added. Looking ahead to his “full ride scholarship” as a VMI offensive
