Man killed by train at Town’s Anchor Park ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Alcohol and railroad track walking appears to have been a deadly combination for a man Sunday evening, Aug. 12, along Anchor Park near Turkey Creek Road in Farragut. The victim’s name had not been released as of deadline Tuesday morning pending notification of “out-of-state” relatives, according to Knox County
Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Hillary Coward. According to Coward, the victim was pronounced dead on the scene by Rural Metro emergency responders. An eastbound Norfolk Southern train struck the victim shortly before 8 p.m., according to an online report filed by Coward. “It appears as though alcohol was involved on the part of the victim,” her report stated.
“According to the initial investigation, the victim appeared to have been crossing the tracks on foot.” KCSO officers and Rural Metro responded “after a passerby notified E-911 that someone had been struck by a train,” Coward’s report stated. The train was carrying 105 coal cars and had three engines, the report also noted. Alan Sloan/farragutpress
Costco Farragut schools welcome students traffic revamps ■ begin Back to School ALAN SLOAN

Implementation of Common Core standards for Knox County K-12 students has Kay Wellons, Farragut Intermediate School principal, excited about the 2012-13 school year. “I’m excited about what this is going to do for the learning and achievement of our boys and girls,” said Wellons, in charge of about 1,080 students in grades 3-5. “We really focus on not only reasoning and thinking, but we really focus on applying what boys and girls know to real world situations.” Wellons announces six new teachers have been added: five in third grade and one in fourth. Debbie Adorante, new FIS assistant principal, moves up from “curriculum person” last year, Wellons said. Meanwhile, Farragut High School enrollment “is way up” from its 2011-12 total of 1,765. Farragut’s growth spurt is according to Kim Gray, FHS assistant principal in charge of school public relations/communications. Gray did not divulge a projected enrollment number to begin 2012-13. “Instead of ‘Early Release Wednesdays,’ we’re doing ‘Late Arrival Fridays,’” Gray added about moving up Friday class start times from 8:30 to 9 a.m., while no longer ending each Wednesday school day 45 minutes early (was 2:45 p.m., now is back to regular 3:30 end). Eight new teachers/administrators/counselors have been added at FHS, which is headed by principal Michael Reynolds: Mollie Errington and Thomas Moore, English; Stacie Haire, guidance counselor; Amy Eichelberger, Barbara Wachter and Cheryl Kiernan, special education; Marta Rivera, world languages, and Liz Gargan,

Tod Evans, HVES principal (kindergarten through fifth grade), said his school added about 60 extra students to begin this school year, versus 2011-12. “Frankly, we don’t have any rooms left.

Motorists traversing the Kingston Pike/Lovell Road intersection can expect to see changes to both roads as Costco nears its expected opening date in early- to mid-November. Two new traffic signals will be placed at Costco’s main entrances — one on Kingston Pike and the other on Lovell Road — and both streets will be restriped to show new turn lane configurations. In addition, Knox County will begin work to realign Farlow Drive in September, moving the road east to meet Costco’s Kingston Pike entrance. “What we’re going to do is move Farlow approximately 250 or 300 feet to the east to line up with the new Costco driveway,” said Knox County public works spokesman Jim Snowden. The realignment will feature a roundabout near Korean Church of Knoxville that diverts traffic toward the new intersection, which will meet Kingston Pike at the current APR recycling lot. The APR facility will move further back onto its property with an entrance on the new Farlow. “The roundabout will be similar to what you’d see at Northshore and Concord, just a lot smaller. It won’t have any grass; it’ll be totally concrete, that way, if a large truck needs to come through there, he can actually go over top of the island,” Snowden said. “We did the mini-roundabout because it saves space,” he added. Snowden said the new

Vendor call for Picnic on the Pike
Farragut’s second annual Picnic on the Pike in 2011 hosted between 800 and 1,000 event attendees.
■
HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com
Farragut will host its third annual “Picnic on the Pike” from 1 to 5 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 30, on farragutpress grounds, 11863 Kingston Pike, and is seeking vendors. The event will feature art, craft and food vendors; entertainment including The Coveralls, the 75-member East Tennessee Concert Band and The Akima Singers, as well as children’s activities including inflatables and games. “The first year was such a hit that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen asked us to keep it going,” parks and leisure services director Sue Stuhl said. “There will be entertainment on the great lawn in front of the [farragutpress office]. And in the great field next to the house there will be food vendors ... there will be games hosted by local non-profits,” Stuhl said. “There will be lots to do and entertain. There is no admission charge; you’re welcome to bring picnics or your lawn chairs and just have a great afternoon,” she added. Any food, art or craft vendors may participate, as well as nonprofit organizations and
Farragut businesses. Booths for vendors can be rented for $10; get more information and application forms at www.townoffarragut.org/ Spaces for jewelry and woodworking booths already have been filled. Non-profits such as civic clubs, churches and youth sports teams can participate in “Picnic on the Pike” for free by providing a game or activity for event attendees. Farragut volunteers will sell tickets, and non-profit groups will keep 100 percent of their activity’s proceeds. “This event will provide an ideal opportunity for non-profit groups to raise funds and earn recognition,” said Farragut spokesperson Chelsey Riemann in a press release. “There will be costs for the games but they are fundraisers for the groups,” Stuhl said. Businesses located in Farragut can set up information booths for a $50 fee. Interested vendors can get more information at www.townoffarragut.org or at Town Hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive, 865-966-7057. Deadline to submit applications is Wednesday, Aug. 29, or when all slots are full.
Tips From page 1A
From the vehicle or the store, call the police. “Let us come out and see what their story is, but most of them are scamming for money for drugs or alcohol,” Palmer said. He said everyone — especially people shopping or traveling alone — should be vigilant of their surroundings. Palmer advised residents never to give to panhandlers despite their stories, which often involve vehicular breakdowns or other situations in which someone might need cash.

“The usual spiel is that their car broke down or their house burned down, and they need money to get to this place or that place to get more help. And it’s just a scam,” Palmer said. “Never give to a panhandler. Never give them anything other than an offer to call the police. In fact, that’s what I’ve done. I’ve said, ‘I’m not going to give you any money, but I will call the police and then they will come out and help you,’” he added. A panhandler would not want police contacted, but someone with a legitimate need would. If residents wish to help individuals legitimately in crisis,
they should make donations to programs such as Salvation Army or Knox Area Rescue Ministries, both of which have working relationships with KCSO. “We use them a bunch for folks who are having a legitimate problem,” Palmer said. According to Palmer, customers should keep in mind that often panhandlers are on private property when asking for money in store parking lots. In that case, panhandlers are trespassing. “Right off, we can tell them to get off the property,” Palmer said.

• I am calling to ask about the Town’s policy on nuisance vehicles. Where are the Farragut fashion police when you need them? There has been a dilapidated Jeep, abandoned at the curb of Autumn Leaf Lane in Kingsgate, or near Kingsgate, for nearly six months now. It has a torn-out rear window and a very flat tire or two. Clearly it’s not going anywhere. It should not be left on the street like this for an indefinite period of time. If someone owns the vehicle, they should move it into their driveway, not just abandon it out on the street. What an eyesore. Please, town of Farragut, investigate this matter. Thank you in advance. • There is a message board in front of a local church at a busy Kingston Pike intersection with a short statement concerning the exploitation of women on the internet, intended to elicit in the mind of the reader certain moral and ethical aspects of our contemporary society and what could or should be done about the situation. It is an altogether fitting and appropriate comment. Perhaps the editor will include the message board statement here for context, since it is publicly displayed in the area covered by his newspaper, on private, tax-exempt property protected at public expense. But one wonders how the author of the message would respond if he looked in the direction of the pharmacy across the street and read from a similar board — That woman who is poor, pays nearly 10 percent of her income in sales tax, has been denied proper health care for herself and her family, but is unable to help change her situation due to restricted voting rights, all because of the politicians you support, is some parent’s little girl. Or, if turning in another direction and looking further away, one might read from a message board at the nearby hospital — Those people at the Batman movie who were murdered by a man able to purchase military type weapons and then order so much ammunition using a computer screen, all because of the politicians you support,
were some parents’ little boys and girls. And it could go on and on. So, if you are composing a public message, or sitting in stalled traffic reading that message, or looking at an electronic screen in a private place, it might behoove us all to examine more directions of the moral compass. • Well, [I] just finished reading about the young mother with the two children who was approached by a bum asking for money in the Turkey Creek shopping area. I’m 58 and shop the Turkey Creek mile all the time and I too have been approached several times over the years in parking lots mostly; it’s quite scary to suddenly come face to face with a bum out of the blue who’s begging for money. It gets worse when these beggars start with the “I’m from out of town and trying to get home,” “But I’m out of gas can you spare any change;” that story is used up and old. So now they have other equally as hard to believe stories to get you to toss them your hard earned pennies. My most recent encounter was the beginning of August at [a] Turkey Creek [store]: I’m minding my own business when a nicely dressed young lady of 35 or so comes asking if I can add to her hand full of cash (which she eagerly shows as a wad of bills) to pay for a tow truck to deliver her out of order car to Maryville; she claims it costs $30 and she was just short $5 and did I think I could help her out and could “I hurry” since the tow truck was on its way and should be arriving any minute ... . First of all, I thought, “Wow, a tow to Maryville for just $30; what a deal,” then reality set in and I said, “Oh dear, you really need to ask the manager for help, he surely will be able to assist you much better than I can.” She is shaking her head vigorously saying “no, no, no” she did not want to bother the manager (there was no sense of urgency in her story as far as I was concerned) so I felt I was done with her. As I meandered to the register I mentioned this incident to the manager, she quickly got on the phone [and] asked me what the lady was
Costco traffic
With Costco’s anticipated opening in November and an expected addition of 10,000 vehicles traveling Lovell Road and Kingston Pike per day, construction is set to begin on traffic signals for Costco’s two main entrances — one off Kingston Pike and one off Lovell Road — as well as the realignment of Farlow Drive and the addition of a roundabout. Do you think the signals will help traffic at this busy intersection? If you travel on Farlow Drive, do you think the roundabout and realignment will make entering Kingston Pike easier and safer? Do you plan to brave the traffic to shop at Costco? Let us know. Call or e-mail presstalk at 865671-TALK or at presstalk@farragutpress.com
wearing and as I am telling her, we see the woman through the window right in front of the door begging from a man and I said, “Oh, that’s her.” There is nothing we can do about bums begging on the sides of the street and I do mean to call them bums, or in the parking lots, but we should not have to deal with these desperate individuals interrupting our shopping, taking away our security and sense of feeling safe while inside … any store, so what can be done to protect ourselves from these beggars? What is the best response to someone asking for money? … I’m telling you if word gets out and about that these vagrants are allowed to panhandle for money in broad daylight inside of stores, it may not be so good for Turkey Creek come this Christmas. I’d hate to see the stores suffer for yet another year in such a poor economy due to a fixable problem. • I am still amazed at how long a certain medical practice has been in business in Farragut, right on Kingston Pike between Lovell and Concord Road! Every time I pass the place, the tiny
parking lot in the front is full, as well as the huge gravel overflow parking lot hidden in the back. Also, I notice that most of the tags are out of the county and not local. I wonder what that medical practice is giving those patients that they can’t get closer to their home? In my opinion, this type of business invites people to Farragut that can only cause harm. As I read a comment in this week’s farragutpress about a lady being approached in the Turkey Creek shopping area by a shaking and agitated man demanding money, I can’t help but wonder if he frequents this certain medical practice? With how active Farragut citizens are, I am amazed that this is not discussed more and actions/protests are not being taken to remove this business from our community. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

Farlow Drive will provide drivers a safer way to access the Pike and Costco. “The people coming out at Farlow now, whereas now they’re unsignalized, [soon] they’ll come out at a traffic signal so they don’t have to try to cross all that heavy traffic on Kingston Pike,” Snowden said. According to Snowden, the road projects are being timed to coincide as closely as possible with Costco’s projected opening date. According to Costco spokesman Roger Campbell, that’s early November. Snowden said they were shooting for a road project completion date before Black Friday.

“We’ll be within a few weeks of each other,” Snowden said. Costco developers are responsible for installing the new traffic lights and for the road restriping. “All those lights were generated and warranted by their development more than the existing roads, so they’ll be responsible for that,” Snowden said. Costco is expected to add about 10,000 vehicles per day to the traffic already rushing along Lovell Road and the Pike. The Farlow Drive project is set to begin in early September and take 90 days to complete. The contract — up for approval at County Commission’s August meeting — is expected to go to apparent low bidder Volunteer Excavating for $252,493.20.

Children were encouraged to come forward and accompany Half Past by playing tambourines. Food and drink were plentiful.

KIM JOHNSON Correspondent
For contemporary keyboard instructor Kurt Grossman, one of the most important parts of playing music is emotional expression, which is why students of contemporarykeyboardinstruction.com are encouraged to play music that touches them on an emotional level. Grossman, who is trained in a number of styles including rock, R & B, blues, country and classical jazz, teaches contemporary keyboarding from his home studio in Farragut, but also will travel to his students’ homes for lessons. “It is important for students to play music they are interested in,” Grossman said. “That is the whole point. I want to teach the students what they want to learn and what they like.” Contemporary keyboarding, as opposed to classical, places more emphasis on learning to play by ear, musical theory, rhythm and emotions, as well as focusing on popular music from the 1960s to the present.
Grossman said his desire to teach contemporary piano and keyboard stems, in part, from his own difficulty as a child to find a contemporary instructor. “I started playing at age six, but by the age of 12 I had learned all of the fundamentals and became interested in popular music, but I couldn’t find a teacher, and even today it is hard,” he said. “So I learned on my own. I started playing by ear and I went into music stores and bought my own sheet music,” he added. In addition to teaching for the last 15 years, Grossman also has been busy putting together his own curriculum. “In my opinion, there is not a really good contemporary or pop curriculum out there, so over the years I have been pulling together, from different places, my own curriculum,” he said. “Musicship is very important to me because I want students to have the musicship and skills See MUSIC on Page 8A

to be able to go out later and play whatever they want, so I have to balance what they want to learn and what they need to learn,” he added. While Grossman teaches students of “all ages and stages,” he said it is important for children to be exposed to music lessons at an early age. “When I have an adult student who has never taken a music lesson I can tell as soon as they sit down at the keyboard,” he said. “When you are young your hands and muscles are stretched and grow around the keyboard, and motor skills and development of the ear … a lot of that happens when you are young. “Some parents sign their

Einstein Bros. Bagels now offer the people of Farragut and Knoxville an alternative to other fast food chains and have brought the area a “hole” new world of bagelosity (the accumulation of bagel wisdom obtained only by consuming Einstein Bros. Bagels). One might think only of Bagels when reading the name Einstein Bros. Bagels but the menu offers much more. Not only can you get the healthful and traditional bagel in 22 plus flavors, you can also top them with your favorite shmear or stuff them with a delicious egg creation. For lunch or dinner try one of their delectable panini, like the new BBQ Chicken panini or a fresh new Strawberry Chicken Chopped Salad. Both locations have a full espresso bar where your barista can steam you a caramel macchiato or prepare your favorite specialty beverage like the Ultimate Blueberry Smoothie. Whether you need a quick coffee and breakfast on your way to work or want a sandwich for lunch or dinner try the drive-thru at the Campbell Station Rd. and Turkey Creek
location. “We are not your traditional drive-thru, we don’t make your orders up from a stock of pre-made ingredients. Instead, every order is made fresh every time your order is placed”, said local owner and Farragut resident Jon Kidder. “It’s a challenge and we’ve proven to be up for it. People want their order fresh and they want it now. Location is also very important to us. It allows us to serve our customers better", continued Kidder. If you’re trying to figure out what to feed your small get-together of friends or feeding many more, Einstein Bros. Bagels, at both locations, offers catering to your door. You need only call either store or 675-NOSH to talk to a catering professional that will tailor the order to your specific needs. Einstein Bros. Bagels has two locations to serve you: Farragut at 11693 Parkside (just a single stone throw from I-40 highway) and at 1049 N. Cedar Bluff Road making both locations perfect for "on the fly" commuter breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Visit www.myeinsteinbagels.com for everything bagel.

Area teams eye state titles, address concerns
Katie Cloud, Lady Admirals
As the 2012 girls high school soccer season looms, all area teams have their eyes on State Championships. But as the campaign unfolds the local squads must answer several questions. The Farragut Lady Admirals and Bearden Lady Bulldogs each will look to make a return trip to the Class 3A state tournament. Farragut reached the championship match in 2011 before falling 3-0 to Franklin. Bearden also was eliminated by Franklin in Chattanooga last season. The Lady Admirals knocked off the Lady Bulldogs to win both the district and region titles and Farragut is hoping to come home with the state championship trophy this year. “I definitely want to stay undefeated and I’m looking forward to going back to state,” said Lady Admirals senior midfielder and co-captain Chelsea Jordan. “We have some good young talent. We were the underdogs last year.” Farragut, which ended Bearden’s consecutive run of district championships in 2011, is looking to extend its own run. The Lady Ads, however, have only three return-
ing seniors, including goalkeeper Jordan, goalkeeper Katy Hill and defender Heather Murphy. But that doesn’t mean that expectations have been tempered. “I believe in our team,” Murphy said. “I know that we have freshmen who can play. “I believe that we can actually win state this year and that’s all we want to do.” Meanwhile at Bearden, head coach Eric Turner’s squad again has high hopes. “We have to be confident,” said senior co-captain Gabrielle Gianeselli. “We have a young team, but every team in our district lost a lot of players so we’ll all be evenly matched.” Kelly Riemer, Bearden’s other senior cocaptain, agreed. “All the teams are probably even,” she said. “It’s our last year and it would be great to go out and win state and go out with a bang. “There’s a lot of work and we just have to go out and play hard.” Also in District 4-AAA: Knoxville Catholic High School is looking to rebuild after suffering through an injury-plagued 2011 campaign. The Lady Irish will be
young this season. “Once we get to know each other, we should do pretty well,” Lady Irish senior midfielder Kathryn Culhane said. “We have a lot of young talent and we stay positive. “We just need to go out there and get a couple of wins.” In District 3-AAA, Hardin Valley Academy enters 2012 as the defending champion. The Lady Hawks likely will battle Oak Ridge for the title and senior midfielder Emily Smith is looking for the squad to have a breakout year. “We’re the defending champions and once again, we’ll battle Oak Ridge,” said Smith, who led the Lady Hawks to the Region 2-AAA Tournament. “Last year, we were happy just to reach that game [where the Lady Hawks lost to Bearden]. “This year, we want to win that game and make it to sub-state. Once you get to sub-state, anything can happen.” In District 4-A/AA: Christian Academy of Knoxville will look to defend its third state title in four years. The Lady Warriors are rebuilding. CAK, however, wants another state championship.
“That’s our goal,” said Lady Warriors senior midfielder Laura Foster. “We lost eight starters. People have been saying that we’re not going to be very good and we want to prove them wrong. “We have a bunch of new faces and I just want to see everybody improve as much as they can. If that happens, things will take care of themselves.” Meanwhile at Webb: The Lady Spartans will have eight seniors, including five senior captains. Webb also has a special motivation. The Lady Spartans want a state championship trophy to duplicate the accomplishment by Webb’s boys in the spring. “We want to get the first state championship for the girls soccer team at Webb,” said senior midfielder Katie Thompson. “The boys winning really pushed us.” Area teams open the season Tuesday, Aug. 21. Hardin Valley will host the Lady Admirals. Bearden entertains Maryville in a key early-season district match. The Lady Irish host Oak Ridge and the Lady Spartans will travel to Powell.

Within mere minutes of hard, extended rainfall, Farragut High School football practices can resume without any concern for standing water or bad footing. Workouts can continue throughout winter without fear of turning an FHS practice field into a muddy mess, permanently chewing away all grass. The Admirals program, led by head coach Eddie Courtney, decided last spring to invest $135,000 into a synthetic turf practice field that is regulation width (53 yards, 8 inches), 55 yards long and includes a regulation 10-yard long end zone with a goalpost and all yardage and sideline markings. “You can come out here and get your reps in whether it’s raining or not.

For example, “They talk about the kinds of exercises and meditations and mental exercises that can help to reduce stress,” Monty said.

Farragut Artist Directory is a handy reference source of local artists, more than 80 listings in four artistic categories, at www.townoffarragut.org But it means so much more to Kay Meredith. “There’s a little bit of prestige to being listed in Farragut Artist Directory,” said Meredith, watercolor artist from Concord whose work has been on display in such businesses as Olde Concord Gallery, among the 60-plus Visual Artists listed. “It’s a pride thing for me. I’m proud I’m in there. “And it’s helpful for me to see other artists listed in there,” added Meredith, who estimated she’s been listed “three or four years.” Town of Farragut, through Farragut Arts Council, has extended an invitation for area artists to list their basic contact information, free of charge, in the directory — or update existing information.

and smelling awful stuff. … Leaking sewers,” Howard added. “It’s fun. It shows off the river. It makes people appreciate that we have this beautiful river running right through our city.” The trip ends at Sequoyah Hills Park, Cherokee Boulevard Boat Ramp.

field, located between the program’s fieldhouse, which is adjacent to Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium, and Bill Clabo Field. Construction began July 7 and finished just before Courtney’s Admirals began workouts in helmets and pads July 30. FHS rising senior running back Jackson Fain said, “It’s a lot better than playing on a normal field when it rains.” Moreover, three of Farragut’s five regular season road games will be against schools with fields having similar surfaces: Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett (Aug. 17) plus brand new synthetic surfaces at Knoxville Catholic (Sept. 1) and Maryville (Oct. 12). “That was a minor reason for doing it,” Courtney said. Brett Dockery, rising senior offensive lineman, said, “Since we have three games on it this year, it’s going to be a real advantage for us. … It’s a little bit more bouncy because of the rub-
ber. Runs about the same as a grass field does.” Synthetic field turf combines artificial blades of grass, “about four inches,” supported by “what is called the in-fill, which is ground-up tires that are chemically treated so it’s safe, put in there with a sand base, which is about two-and-a-half inches thick,” Courtney said. “Then we have a drainage system underneath it, drains the water completely out of here.” Unlike artificial sports playing surfaces common in the 1970s and 1980s, the new surface’s blades “go down in all directions” when walking or running on it, Courtney said. “The old tartan turf, abrasive turf, the grain went one way. That’s why you had a lot of injuries. If you were going across the grain, you might get your leg hung up.” As for any adjustment going from practicing on synthetic surface, then playing a game on grass, “I think this product now has become so much closer to real, thick Bermuda field,” Courtney said.

Tennessee Valley Fair history infamously has included an influenza outbreak causing event cancellations in the 1920s, while evolving for almost one century under four different names.

Hammer (Sept. 7) and several new events. In addition to its annual sta-
ples such as fun rides, tractor pulls, a rodeo, tasty food, stimulating concerts and vital fundraising for area charities, fair executive director Scott Suchomski hopes 2012 will successfully blend old favorites with new twists. “We go out and talk to people, and the first thing people say is, ‘Hey, what’s new at the fair?’” said Suchomski, featured speaker during Turkey Creek Rotary Sunset’s weekly Tuesday evening meeting in Faith Lutheran Church community building July 17.

Don’t Fret Over Changing Bond Prices
When you own stocks, you know their prices will always fluctuate. To help ease the effects of this volatility on your portfolio, you could add other types of investments, such as bonds. Yet bond prices will also rise and fall. But there may be — in fact, there should be — a big difference in how you view the ups and downs of stocks versus those of bonds. Any number of reasons can cause stock prices to go up or down. But in the case of bonds, prices go up and down largely, though not exclusively, for one reason: changes in interest rates. Suppose you purchase a bond that pays 4% interest and then, a year later, newly issued bonds pay 3%. You could now potentially sell your bond for more than its face value because it provides more income to investors than the new bonds. Conversely, if newly issued bonds pay 5% interest, the value of your existing bond would drop because it’s unlikely that someone would pay full price for a bond that provides less income than newer bonds. When you own stocks, or stockbased investments, you want their price to rise because you probably plan on selling those stocks someday — and you’d like to sell them for more than you paid for them. But it’s not so cut-and-dried with bonds. While some people may indeed purchase bonds in hope of selling them for a profit before they mature, many other investors own bonds for other reasons. First, as mentioned above, owning bonds can be a good way to help diversify your portfolio. Second, and probably more importantly, people
invest in bonds for the income they provide in the form of interest payments. And here’s the good thing about those interest payments: They’ll always continue at the same level as long as you own your bond, except in the rare case of a default. (Although defaults are not common, they can occur, so you do need to take a bond’s “credit risk” into account before investing.) Thus, if you plan to hold your bonds until they mature, you don’t have to worry about a possible drop in their value. But if you need to sell your bonds before they mature, the price you receive will depend on current interest rates. You can’t control or predict interest rates, but you can help soften their impact on bond prices by building a “ladder” of bonds with varying maturities. Then, if market interest rates rise, you can sell your maturing short-term bonds and purchase new ones at the higher rates. And if market rates fall, you’ll still have your longer-term bonds working for you at higher rates. (Usually, but not always, longer-term bonds pay higher rates to compensate investors for incurring inflation risk over time.) Keep in mind, though, that the investments within your bond ladder should be consistent with your investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance. Whether you own your bonds until maturity or build a bond ladder, you can do something to protect yourself from price movements. And that type of control can prove valuable to you as you chart your course through the investment world.

Marching Ads frosh growing London, England’s New Year’s Day Parade awaits
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Despite next to no experience marching and playing an instrument at the same time, freshmen members of Farragut High School Marching Admirals Band will have to grow up fast. An appearance in London, England’s New Year’s Day Parade awaits. Four local competitions are scheduled this fall. Being prepared to march internationally in prestigious company might be a scary thought, perhaps, considering that 45 freshman make up more than one-third of this 120-member band for 2012-13. On top of everything else, a program “much tougher than last year” according to secondyear band director Keith Clupper, entitled “The Grid,” will have to be mastered. Though entering FHS Band

Camp Monday, July 23, as green as Bill Clabo Field’s grass, FHS Class of 2016 is ahead of schedule after two weeks of training. “They’ve made amazing progress … I think our freshmen class this year is one of the strongest that I have worked with, top to bottom, every section,” Clupper said about his freshmen. They’ve helped the overall band move ahead of the program’s pace last season, following an end-of-camp performance for band parents Friday evening, Aug. 3, in the FHS “vocational” parking lot. “We’re marching freshmen in percussion with drums, and usually freshmen don’t get to march,” he added. “They’re usually down here in front playing keyboard or playing symbols or playing drums on the sideline. “They came into camp not knowing the first thing about how to move and play at the
same time.” Especially challenging is “marching in-step, staying in time with their feet, especially at the faster tempos we’re going with the music,” Clupper said. “There’s a lot of pressure on them. “Everybody has to do their part, there’s nobody sitting out. There’s no sideline,” Clupper added. “We have to bring the freshmen along pretty quickly, because we’ll have our first competition the last Saturday in September (Karns Marching Invitational at KHS Sept. 29).” Freshman Bradley Balltrip, alto saxophone player, said marching “is a whole other level once we get up here” versus the limited marching he did with Farragut Middle School Band. “It was a big challenge at first; it was a little intimidating comSee FHS BAND on Page 9B

“We’ve found that a lot of our challenges are keeping the old new, and bringing in new,” Suchomski added. Among new competitions, “This year we’re doing a homemade wine-making competition,” Suchomski said. “We’re going into our second year of a Lego Build Contest {Sept. 15},” he added of a competition that can be individual or involve the whole family. Also new, “We’re doing a Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, where they do stuff with the chainsaws and the log roll and all that,” Suchomski said.
“Sunday [Sept 9], a new thing we’re doing is the ATV pull,” he added. “Bring your Gator or your ATV and you can pull weights up and down the track with that.” Wednesday, Sept. 12, features a “Football Free-For-All, a Florida versus UT Demolition Football Game. ... We're really excited about how that’s going to go,” Suchomski said. This year food will be a special point of emphasis, the executive director said. In keeping with that theme “are a whole lot of cooking competitions,” Suchomski added. “We’re doing some culinary art competitions where we’ve got different chefs that are going to come in.”
Other concert acts include five Country artists: Kip Moore Sept. 10; Josh Thompson (Sept 11.); Easton Corbin (Sept 12.), David Nail (Sept 13.) and Sawyer Brown to close out the fair Sunday, Sept. 16. Also featured is classic rock group Night Ranger (Sept. 14), “and we always have Con Hunley there [Saturday, Sept. 15], a great local artist,” Suchomski said.

ing in with upperclassmen who have been marching,” Balltrip said. “But once you get used to it — everyone helps you learn how to march — over time it becomes easier,” he added following the end of camp, crediting senior M. J. Badgett and sophomore Brandon Smith as especially helpful. “I have so much more confidence than I did” starting out,” Balltrip added. Lauren Lundy, a freshman flutist and former FMS band member, said “the basics were quite confusing during the early portion of band camp.
“It’s not as easy as it looks. You have to keep your legs straight and roll your feet,” she added. “Keeping all the marching skills in mind while you’re playing advanced music. “I’m way more comfortable now. The first day I was extremely nervous.” Graham Wright, senior baritone, said, “I think our freshmen and underclassmen have really been a lot more comfortable with things this year for some reason. I’m not really sure why.” Megan Earnest, senior piccolo player, said the freshmen “are just doing an awesome job this year. They seem to pick up on it pretty quickly. Sounding strong and sounding good.”
