Farragut election final ■ ALAN SLOAN

With a significantly bigger turnout versus the Town’s last election in 2009, Farragut voters chose a 65-year-old political rookie among its three positions up for grabs on Election Day, Thursday, Aug. 7. Ron Pinchok, 65, credits family and volunteers for a strong campaign push toward being elected as Farragut’s new South Ward Alderman (2), beating Ronald Edward Williams (52.81 percent versus 47.19 — 1,799 votes cast). Meanwhile, Bob Markli, 63, took a relaxed approach on Election Day in his bid for a second four-year term as North Ward Alderman 1. “I was on the Nantahala River up in Bryson City, N.C., whitewater rafting with my grandchildren,” Markli, who also won a close election, said Friday, Aug. 9. “I got some congratulatory voice mails, that’s how I found out.” Markli’s relatively slim margin
of victory against John Underwood (52.68 percent versus 47.32 — 2,147 votes cast), “ M e a n s nearly half the people of Farragut in the North W a r d thought that somebody else could do a better McGill j o b . O b v i o u s l y, that’s sobering,” he added. Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill, 71, earned a second term after running unopposed. Pinchok, chair of Town’s Economic Development Committee, said serving as South Ward alderman “is going to be an exciting opportunity for me give back to the community.” Preparation for becoming an aldermen — becoming familiar with Town operations and municipal challenges — came with “my experience on the different committees I worked on,” which included “Parks and ath-
letics,” Pinchok said. As for campaign work, “I have to give a lot of credit to my wife, Debbie, she became my campaign m a n a g e r, ” Pinchok said. “… I had some really good volunteers, and she Markli helped coordinate them. So without my wife and the volunteers it would have been a very difficult task. “I appreciate what they did.” Running unopposed, McGill said, “It was nice not to have to do much this time. … Pinchok The fact that I ran unopSee ELECTION on Page 4A

If a pair of professional estimates are close to reality, a reconfigured and supposedly much safer Dixie Lee Junction (intersection of state highways 11 and 70) would be constructed and operational by 2017. “The Right of Way plans are scheduled to be issued to begin appraisals in early October 2014. While we anticipate a fall 2015 construction letting, the progress of the Right of Way phase will determine the earliest letting date,” Mark Nagi, Tennessee Department of Transportation Region 1 Community Relations officer, said. Projecting a reasonably accurate date for completion of Dixie Lee Junction reconfiguration also “depends on which plan [TDOT] goes with,” Pat Phillips, executive director of Loudon County Economic Development Agency, said. “There’s three different scenarios” which are being considered. Following “design” work and “alignment issues,” the next step is “a decision on which layout they will go with,” Phillips added. To let bids then begin construction within an estimated 30 to 45 days, “I think probably late 2015 could be a possibility,” Phillips said. “I think that’s very aggressive but it’s doable.” Phillips said right-of-way acquisitions “will certainly cause some delays.” However, projecting a possible construction completion date, “I think theoretically it could be done by 2017 personally,” Phillips added. Mike Conger, Knox Transportation Regional Planning Organization senior engineer, said “it would probably take a year, yearand-a-half for construction. Best case scenario would be early 2017 when it was completed.” Moreover, “We’ve got it pro-
grammed, construction, for fiscal year 2016 [October 2015 through September 2016],” Conger added. Phillips said this project was on the TPO “Transportation Improvement [Program] for [20]14, [20]15 and [20]16. The funding will be available through the TPO and the state. … I think the funding is pretty much in line. Eighty percent of the project cost will come in the form of surface transportation program funding … those are Federal Highway Administration funds. And the remaining 20 percent will come from the state.” Conger agreed that funding “is basically in place,” though Nagi added, “Any cost estimates that we have currently are very preliminary in nature and range from $2 to $3 million.” Conger added, “It doesn’t mean it can’t be amended or modified.” Options being considered: Option 2 ($2 million estimated cost as of January 2013) has Highway. 11 straightened up to intersect with Highway 70 at Two Rivers’ main entrance (running due north and south), with a traffic signal. New Highway. 11 would run behind The Fireside & Patio Shop instead of its current curved intersection with Highway. 70. That curve would be closed to highway traffic. Option 3 ($3.6 million estimate as of January 2013) closes current Highway. 70 in front of Twin Lakes Materials eastward to just past eastern entrance to Two Rivers. New Highway 70 curves to run behind Fireside & Patio and intersect with Highway 11 a few hundred yards south of Fireside Patio near the entrance of Evolution Motorcars and City Electric Supply. The curved section of Highway. 11 near its intersection with Highway. 70 would be moved a few hundred feet to the See DIXIE LEE on Page 2A
Dodgen selected as Farragut High School AD Norris new assistant principal

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Farragut High School’s new athletic director, Donald Dodgen, is an old hand at dealing with athletic issues at FHS. Meanwhile, the school’s new assistant principal, Anthony Norris, brings 14 years of experience from South-Doyle High School. Norris, a TAP Mentor Teacher at SDHS, will serve as freshman class principal. “Mr. Norris is a strong instructional leader, and he is very knowledgeable in the areas of cur-
riculum and instruction,” Dr. Jim McIntyre, Knox County Schools superintendent, said about his appointment of Norris late last week. “He was a dynamic teacher and leader at Dodgen South-Doyle High School, and I am confident he will do an outstanding job at Farragut High School.” Dodgen, 64, an educator for 40 years and a former high school and college basketball coach for more than 30 years, was appoint-
ed AD by McIntyre Thursday, Aug. 7. Having begun his 19th school year at FHS, Dodgen also is chair of F H S Physical Education a n d Norris We l l n e s s Department, coordinator for District 4-AAA athletics on behalf of TSSAA and a physical education teacher. “Mr. Dodgen has served Farragut High School with distinction for almost 20 years, and he has assisted with athletic
director duties for a significant time. He is well qualified to assume the full responsibilities of athletic director,” McIntyre said. “Mr. Dodgen is highly respected at Farragut High School and in the Farragut community, and I know he will do an exceptional job.” “I do appreciate Dr. McIntyre, Dr. [Clifford] Davis [KCS executive director] and Stephanie Thompson,” new FHS principal who made the recommendation, Dodgen said. “It’s something I’ve looked forward to doing for a long, long time. … It couldn’t happen to me at any better school that I love. “The community of Farragut has been so wonderful to me.”
A handful of long-time FHS coaches, and one former AD at the school, also weighed in about Dodgen as new AD. “When I was athletic director, he pretty much did all the set-up stuff,” Dwayne Simmons, an FHS assistant principal and former Admirals AD, said. “Whenever we had ballgames, soccer matches, he always tried to make sure that the fields were in great shape, or the gym was ready to go and helped with the football field. He’s always worked in the role of an athletic director anyway. “To me he has great leadership ability,” Simmons added. “He’s a great team player and he’s knowlSee DODGEN on Page 3A

Option 4 ($2.7 million estimate as of January 2013) is placing a roundabout behind Fireside & Patio and closing the curved portion of Highway. 11 — leaving it as a business road — from its current intersection with Highway. 70 southward about one-half mile. Highway 70 would be closed in

Though Knox County Schools is one of only 46 school districts nationwide with membership in League of Innovative Schools — districts that support and are implementing electronic personalized learning devices — further expansion of PLDs within Knox County is an inexact science. With KCS “invited” to join LIS based on “demonstrating we were fairly far along” in PLD learning according to superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., 13 of KCS’s 90 schools — including Bearden High School — currently are using PLDs. “I believe we’re the only district in Tennessee in the League of Innovative Schools. … They’re fairly selective.” As for when this technology to greatly reduce reliance on physi-
cal textbooks might come to a Farragut school “is largely based on resource questions,” McIntyre said about budget considerations. “My hope and my belief is that we will be able to roll out comprehensive instructional technology to McIntyre support personalized learning in all of our schools,” McIntyre added. “That would require a considerable investment.” The pecking order for acquiring PLD learning, McIntyre said, “Is based first on those that express interest and have some capacity to do it, and we probably in the near term have a similar type of process where we

solicit interest and ask individual schools what their plan would be.” The final step that determined the first 11 KCS school to receive PLDs during the 2013-14 school year came when BHS and the other 10 schools won a 15minute student-led “School Technology Challenge” presentation before a KCS panel of judges during the 2012-13 school year. “I would imagine, as we begin to consider further rollout, that See KCS on Page 3A

The new Highway. 11 section would run behind Fireside & Patio beginning about a halfmile south of that business before connecting to the roundabout.

we would have a similar type of process in the future,” he added. “I feel good about what we’ve done so far.” Releasing information about “a survey we did of our students in May in PLD schools,” McIntyre said questions included, “‘Do you feel more responsible for your schoolwork?’ And 85 or 86 percent of the kids said yes. “I would say more engaged as well,” McIntyre added. Another question in the student survey according to McIntyre: “‘are you more interested in class when you use your computer?’ The exact numbers were probably about the same range, about 82 percent” saying yes. McIntyre said he hopes teachers and administrators will grasp the potential of PLD learning. “I’m not sure that we or our
teachers or principals truly understood how transformational a personalized learning environment is,” he said. “… How do you make it more creative and innovative and engaging instruction when you have access to this type of technology? “Rather than just thinking of it as an electronic textbook.” McIntyre said having PLDs in place at the 13 schools to begin the 2014-15 year, versus installing them last school year “in September and October” is further encouragement for improved PLD learning this school year. As for using LIS membership as a learning tool, “We’ve had so much conversation with Mooresville, N.C. about their implementation,” McIntyre said. Learning more about, for example, “How to collect and refurbish the machines at the end of the year,” McIntyre said. “… How you can enhance instruction.”

edgeable about the TSSAA.” “It’s good to have someone that’s been around and knows how the athletics at Farragut operate,” Dennis Lindsay, FHS girls soccer head coach, said. “He’s familiar with all the coaches, so the transition will be smooth.” Susan Davidson, Lady Admirals volleyball head coach,
said Dodgen’s appointment “could not have been a better selection. He has experience in all sports, and he’s all about the kids and them developing into a great student-athlete.” Chris Cool, FHS varsity boys basketball head coach, said Dodgen “is basically the face of Farragut athletics for the last seven years since I’ve been there. He cares about the athletes, he cares about the coaching staffs
and he genuinely loves Farragut.” David Moore, FHS softball head coach, said he was “happy for Don. He knows the school and the coaches, and he’ll do a good job as our AD.” Dodgen and Norris both replace Seth Smith, who served both as AD and assistant principal at FHS before being appointed assistant principal at Central High School in July.

letterstotheeditor Message from Mayor McGill The greatest honor that I’ve ever received is the collective trust you have placed in me through two elections now. It’s truly a humbling experience, and I cannot find words to express my appreciation of your support. So, on Aug. 28 we’ll embark on the work of the next four years. For me it will be a second, and final term. I’m proud of, and happy with the progress and the direction that we have in store for the Town. We have a good relationship with our business community, and I think the cooperative spirit that we enjoy with our businesses has brought about a much greater sense of “community.” Think about it: It’s a “no-brainer.” If we are going to rely on Sales Tax for 70 percent of our revenue, doesn’t it mean that we should have good relations with the business community? By the same token, it also means that we need to be very proactive in terms of recruiting new businesses as well as helping to maintain those that already are here. Costco told us when they were
presstalk
contemplating locating in East Tennessee that their conclusion was that they were going to be in Farragut or not in East Tennessee. That’s quite an endorsement of what we are doing in Farragut. Of course, I understand that some of you are going to complain about our sign ordinance, but the bottom line is that it’s a level playing field. And, frequently we hear people saying that you can tell a difference when you drive into Town. Isn’t that something to aspire to? The schools located in Farragut continue to produce great results in terms of test scores, scholarships, etc. And, of course, we don’t run the schools. But the credit goes to the teachers and parents of those students who excel. I keep saying that successful education requires two active verbs — teach and learn, and learning requires motivation. Where there is no motivation to learn, schools fail. Money alone will not rescue them. For the next four years you can expect more of what we’ve been doing lately. We expect to be working on bringing the Russell House up to its look in 1835 and ultimately be a “house” museum.
That is, the house itself is the museum. We’re going to continue to advance the amenities in our parks. We’ll be adding more trails. The turf field at [Mayor Bob] Leonard Park is a very popular field, and we’ll be adding two more such fields at Leonard Park. That will attract some tournaments. Please consider getting involved in the Town’s activities. We have a lot of people working on committees to advise the Board of Mayor and Aldermen about directions that we should take. Thank you again for your trust and faith in all of our elected officials. It really makes a difference to know that we have the backing of the people we serve. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, join the discussion, or advise us. That’s what we’re here for. God Bless You, and God Bless America.

• Hi, Damn the Torpedoes! What did [Adm. James David Glasgow] Farragut really say at Mobile Bay? Posted on July 8, 2014, by rscoddington, the actual words by Adm. David Farragut during the 1864 Battle of Mobile Bay that became paraphrased as “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” are still something of a mystery 150 years after they were uttered. Several sources note that Farragut originally cried, “Damn the torpedoes! Four bells. Capt. Drayton, go ahead! Jouett, full speed!” But according to a newly discovered primary source, the true words spoken by Farragut were “Damn the torpedoes! Go on! Put the helm a-starboard, Capt. Drayton!” http://ronaldscoddington.wordpress.com/2014/07/08/w hat-did-farragut-really-say-atmobile-bay/ • It’s now four days after the election and there are still election signs around Town.

Farragut event ... The Farragut Food Festival (previously called Taste of Farragut). The Farragut Business Alliance (FBA) is planning a few changes to the event, all of which are very exciting. This event, being held Friday night, Sept. 26 (save the date NOW please) has gone through a name change to better reflect its regional draw and scope. With more than 25 Farragut restaurants, it has evolved into a true “festival of food.” We are fortunate also to have four wine stores, numerous wine distributors — and possibly even a couple of new beverage businesses — participating with various types of wine and beer. General admission tickets are $25 for adults (if purchased in advance through noon the day of the event) or $30 if purchased at the gate. Admission for children under 10 is $10 in advance or $15 at the gate, with children under 5 free. Tickets can be purchased at www.farragutbusiness.com beginning Aug. 29. Another change this year is the location. The event has relocated to Renaissance | Farragut. This location will provide better parking, more space and an enticing atmosphere.
Finally, we also have added a VIP tent or, as we’re calling it, a “VIB” (Very Important Bites) tent! This special seating area will house six tables of eight people each and will feature EXCLUSIVE tastes from Seasons (personally prepared by Chef Deron Little) Aubreys, The Shrimp Dock and a special dessert. These tastes will be paired with wines appropriate for each. As an added bonus, VIPs in the VIB tent will have access to all of the general admission restaurant offerings as well. Tickets to the VIB tent are limited to 48 and are $100 per person, $20 of which is being donated to Second Harvest Food Bank. These tickets will be first-come, first-served, so act fast when tickets go on sale online on Aug. 29! The FBA is excited by the sixth year of this exclusively Farragut event. We hope to see all of you there on Friday, Sept. 26.

thing.” “We were hanging out there in April by ourselves having an election, and the turnout was dismal. … We didn’t make it convenient for them,” McGill said. “Only a couple hundred people were electing people.” Looking ahead specifically, “I’d like to get on with refurbishing the Russell House,” McGill said. “That’s on our schedule. Whether we can get it done in four years I don’t know. … That’s going to be a great asset to the Town once we get it finished and open and usable. “Then we’ve got great plans for additional amenities in the parks,” McGill added. “We’re still going to be aggressive about recruiting businesses to the Town.”

posed this time probably is a good indicator of satisfaction with what we’re doing. “When you see the results of your worries and studies and strategies and all that, it does feel good to know that we’re moving in a very positive direction,” McGill added. “… I look for another four years of growth and good times. “Of course, all of us get a little grumpy at times when people are complaining, but overall it’s been a very pleasant five years.” Beating then incumbent Mayor Eddy Ford in the 2009 Town election, McGill served a five-year first term because Town leaders decided to align their elections with county, state and federal elections. “We had nearly double the turnout we had last time [2009] as far as I can tell,” Markli said. “… I think shifting our election schedule to align with Knox County was a very positive

Championship Celebration One final celebration of Farragut High School baseball’s 2014 Class AAA state championship, the program’s ninth overall, was enjoyed inside the Ballpark at Farragut above John Heatherly Field Tuesday evening, June 3. Boosters, mostly parents of Admirals players, grilled hamburgers and hotdogs along with providing various other snacks as players and coaches enjoyed one last get-together before FHS Class of 2014 players headed to college. A celebration cake was unveiled and promptly gobbled up. A few short speeches came before a video highlight of the season was played, which included moments of humor, inside Dean Field House.

• Two Rivers Church just outside of Farragut in Loudon County welcomes new high school pastor, David Mead, a Te n n e s s e e native. Mead has 13 years of student ministry service. He and his wife, Lauren, are relocating Mead from Ohio. • Marsha Coggins has been named vice president and branch manager for First National Bank’s West Knoxville office, 10514 Kingston Pike.

Archer’s BBQ has returned to the Farragut area. Monday, July 21, owner Archer Bagley opened the doors to his new 1,400-square-foot site, 10205 Kingston Pike, located across from Fort Sanders West in Lovell Heights. “All the meat we smoke ourselves,” Bagley said. “We do pork, chicken and baby back ribs. “It’s all fresh food; as fresh as we can make it,” he added. “It’s all homemade as much as possible.” Customers will find such sides as baked beans, coleslaw, collard greens, creamed corn, green beans and sweet potato chips. “We make all those from scratch,” he said. However, Bagley said he does not bake his own bread. Archer’s BBQ buys the bread from Quality Bakeries, which bakes all the bread for Aubrey’s and Litton’s. Archer’s BBQ first opened for business in February 2011 right across from the Shrimp Dock in Farragut, he said. Because of location issues, Bagley closed the original Archer’s BBQ location. In August 2012, he relocated his business to Bearden. “We kind of switched up our concept from the original Farragut location,” he said. “We basically got rid of our fryers. “Archer’s BBQ did fried foods there, catfish, hushpuppies and French fries,” Bagley added. “We took all those things off the menu, and I built a 1,800-squarefoot commissary space off Baum Drive in the Bearden area. “We cook everything now at the commissary. We satellite out fresh food every morning to all the stores. What I’ve learned, after getting into the barbecue business, is there are two ways barbecue restaurants serve meat,” he said, adding many restaurants pull the pork in the morning, refrigerate it then reheat it as they go.”

Archer Bagley, owner of Archer’s BBQ, shows a sampling of the barbecue offered at his restaurant. Archer’s has returned to the Farragut area with a new location, 10205 Kingston Pike, across from Fort Sanders West in Lovell Heights.
Bagley said makes sure that everything is “held hot.” “Everything comes off the smoker; it is double-wrapped in aluminum foil and held hot so it doesn’t get cooled down,” he added. “We have pork butts pulled to order and chicken pulled to order. It’s steaming hot
because it hasn’t been cooled down and reheated.” “That’s literally half the secret to our success. In addition to the Farragut area restaurant and the Bearden site, Bagley also has an Archer’s BBQ along Central Avenue Pike in Powell and another off Oak
Ridge Highway in Karns. Archer’s BBQ is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday and from noon to 7 p.m., Sundays. For more information about Archer’s, call 865-771-2601 or go to www.archersbbq.com.

Wheeler 5K fundraiser Saturday, Aug. 23 ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
With strong support from Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Farragut where she’s a member, Becky Johnson relied on her Christian faith when dealing with traumatic news. Johnson’s d a u g h t e r, B r o o k e Wheeler of Austin, Texas, “had a seizure on June 28, 2013,” mom said. Wheeler An inoperable malignant brain tumor was discovered “on her right frontal motor cortex, which affects the left side of her body. If they removed it, it would paralyze her,” Johnson added. As a result of brain trauma from a biopsy that indicated the tumor was cancerous, “It took her from July 1 [2013] until the first few weeks of March to walk without assistance,” Johnson said. “She had to learn how to eat again.” Crediting answered prayers from God, “She’s doing really well. She’s walking, she’s driving, she’s traveling, she’s parasailing,” Johnson said. “… She’s gone from being totally helpless to working full time maintaining websites for

veterinary clinics.” Mom credits “great physical therapy and a lot of prayer” from UCP members and several friends who stayed with her around the clock — nine shaving their heads in Wheeler’s honor when she lost her hair during radiation treatment. “Her [Christian] faith is incredible. … She’s always had a heart for missions,” Johnson added. “She’s been to Africa, she’s been to Haiti and worked on the orphanages down there.” Wheeler’s cancer apparently is in remission thanks to the radiation treatments, which ran from Aug. 8, 2013, to “either Sept. 17 or Sept. 19,” Johnson said. As a celebration of Wheeler’s recovery while looking to fund brain cancer research, inaugural Friends of Brooke Wheeler’s Victory Birds 5K/Pet-and-Kid Walk/Gathering fundraiser begins at UCP at 8 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 23. “Our church is going to have like a little community gathering and do like a hotdog luncheon kind of thing afterwards,” Johnson, president of UCP Women’s Ministry and a Bible study teacher, said. “There’s going to be some entertainment. We will talk a little bit about brain tumor research. See WHEELER on Page 2B

The latest in a series of surgeries for a tiny baby girl less than 1 year old, open heart surgery, is scheduled in September at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.

Peters Road, is responding: holding a benefit yard sale for 11-month-old Collyns Culbreth from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 16, in the business’s front parking lot. “We’re taking just about anything, clothes, furniture, household goods,” Megan, an inside sales representative at Whirlpool, said. Donations can be taken at Whirlpool’s North Peters location from 8 a.m. to noon through Friday, Aug. 15. “We’re asking most people to bring them in already priced,
but I have a feeling we’ll probably be pricing a lot ourselves.” Donations of smaller items are requested to be bagged in groups where each item in that bag has the same price: a $1 bag, a $5 bag, a $10 bag, etc. A new undertaking for the Culbreths, “This is actually one of my good friend’s ideas that I just brought on board into Whirlpool Corporation,” Megan said about Tiffany LaBarre. “… She’s putting it together and she’s done an amazing job and she’s just really putting

Marital spat strategies
From page 1B
Expert shares 4 steps to tiff and win I must warn you I’m not a marriage counselor and I’m on my second marriage, but I have learned some successful spatting skills in the 41 years I’ve been married and I think you’ll find them helpful. My ideas will work for many fights, but to illustrate my strategies, I decided to pick a f i g h t that’s common among c o u p l e s ; Pam c l u t t e r Young conflicts. Make it ( W o w Fun! that’s a tongue twister: common couple’s clutter conflicts. I dare you to try and say it five times without screwing up.) The underlying cause of this conflict is stuff. It’s the my-stuff vs your-stuff which is the most common cause of a bout about clutter, because one sees his stuff as his stuff and the other guy’s stuff as clutter and it works the other way around, so it’s a blame game and couples have been playing it since Adam and Eve argued about whose leaf was whose that got left on the ground. The other common clutter clashes surface when stuff gets lost, stuff gets left out, stuff gets thrown out, stuff gets wrecked, stuff gets dirty and stuff gets stuffed just to get it out of the way. One thing you might be thinking is that planning to win a fight is manipulative, conniving, sneaky and conspiratorial especially coming from a woman, but wait a minute! Our history is filled with male heroes who won wars because, hello, they planned them. Men have created War Colleges, boot camps and military handbooks to win wars, so if you are a woman reading this article, you are perfectly within your female rights to plan to win your battles and especially a war on the other guy’s clutter. Why do we get labelled as manipulative and men get turned into bronze statues for doing the same thing? So with this fight in mind, I hope you’ll read my ideas for winning it.
Step One: The first step in this specific war is to put all your stuff away. I know it’s a preemptive strike, but it works every time. With all your stuff put away, it’s going to be obvious that he needs to do a little clean up. Step Two: Don’t bring up a problem with a man who hasn’t eaten in the last three hours. Feed him first and include lots of protein, followed by just a taste of something sweet. Step Three: Don’t argue in your grubbies, or pajamas (unless it’s a sexy negligée). Argue when you are dressed up, well coifed and have make-up on. I call it the Doris Day ploy. Remember she always had fights with her leading men and she always looked adorable. Or you can choose the Marilyn Monroe trick, but that one requires showing off cleavage and you’ll still need to have your make-up on (although it’s not as important). It doesn’t hurt to use
your Marilyn Monroe voice and never let it rise to the frequency of fingernails on the blackboard range. Tip: If you keep your voice just above a whisper he’ll have to listen harder. Step Four: Have a plan. Be organized going into the spat by following steps one, two and three. Have a goal that is clear (a clutter-free living room for example). The reward for a clutter-free home is peace. Lead your adversary into the battle front understanding the reward. We all want peace so there needn’t be a battle in the first place. So you’ve got the plan, now go put away your stuff, feed him, get cute and bring it on. Thank you for reading my article! I hope you’ll share it with your friends and family.

For more information, or to sign up, contact Sherri Campbell at 850-6918210 or on Facebook. Participants may sign up on site prior to the 8 a.m. start, Johnson said. Mary Jo Turner, wife of UCP pastor Leonard Turner, came up with the idea to have a run/walk fundraiser, Johnson said. Mary Jo Turner drove Johnson to Austin upon hearing of Wheeler’s seizure. “She would not let me drive myself,” Johnson said. As for UCP support overall, “They’ve boxed stuff up and sent it to her, they’ve prayed with me, they’ve prayed with Brooke,” Johnson said. “And we have new members at our church who have never met Brooke, but they have called. “Anything we’ve needed to have done, they have done. … The phone calls, the prayers, the tears they’ve cried with us. When we were in Texas, they prayed with her on the phone before her surgery.”

How can I help my cat’s hairball issues Q: “Willie,” my cat, has been having a lot of hairballs lately. He’s never had this problem until the last 6 months or so, and the special hairball food doesn’t seem to be helping. My veterinarian thought I should bring him in to be checked out, but he seems just fine except for the hairballs. Any thoughts? E.A., Farragut A: Hairballs, also known as trichobezoars, can be quite common in cats, as they groom themselves often. Long haired cats especially can ingest a substantial amount of hair, irritating the stomach, and causing them to vomit the hair.
Most cats can handle n o r m a l amounts of hair, but not all can. The hairball diets contain a small amount of Stephanie laxative, which may be Myers Ask enough in some cats to the Vet control hairballs. Some cats may need more, and oral laxa-
tive products are available over the counter. These products can be chicken or fish flavored and aid in lubricating the digestive tract and easing the hairball down. Dosing varies with the cat, from once weekly to every other day. When this is ineffective, it’s appropriate to talk to your veterinarian. Your veterinarian is also likely concerned because Willie has never has this problem before. You didn’t mention how old he is, but there are several medical conditions (some age-related) that could cause this change. There are multiple skin prob-
lems that could cause increased licking and/or grooming, such as bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infections. Cats can also have various GI disorders that can increase the incidence of hairballs. For examples, in cats with motility disorders, the natural movement of the intestines is slower than normal. This allows the hair to stay in the intestines for a longer period, increasing the chances of hairballs being produced. Cats with joint problems or arthritis can also lick excessively over painful areas, causing hairballs.
If these or any other medical condition is contributing to Willie’s hairballs, the condition must be treated to control the hairballs. It doesn’t happen often, but cats, dogs, and pet rabbits can have hairballs so large that surgery is required. Continual hairballs should be addressed for the comfort of the cat, but also so that the problem doesn’t progress to something more serious. If you have a question about your pet, e-mail lcac@lenoircityanimalclinic.com
