Town unveils new playground upgrade at MBL Park ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
“Awesome” and “beautiful” are just two of the adjectives Farragut officials used to describe the new playground at Mayor Bob Leonard Park before cutting the ribbon Thursday, Aug. 13, at the park. “It’s awesome,” Sue Stuhl, Farragut Parks & Leisure Services director, said about the playground’s completion. “It’s really different and exciting. “We’ve been getting a lot of phone calls
and Facebook messages, so we know the kids will be excited about this [playground],” Stuhl said. “This is another great day for the town of Farragut,” Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill said, describing the new playground as “state of the art.” “It’s a great addition to our park system, and we’re glad we are getting a lot of great use of it already,” Town administrator David Smoak said, pointing out children playing on the equipment. “This is just awesome,” Alder-man Ron
Honken said. “You know, the parks are one of the greatest assets in our community. They get a lot of use, and we are blessed to be able to do this.” The playground’s replacement was funded in part by a state Local Parks and Recreation Fund grant from Gov. Bill Haslam and Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, April Johnson, recreation services coordinator with TDEC Recreation Education Services, said. “April had a lot to do with the grant for

this project,” McGill said and told Johnson, “We appreciate what you do.” ”We are very grateful to TDEC to be able to put up this equipment because we only had to pay half [of the cost],” Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche said. “[The playground is] beautiful, it’s futuristic and it’s an asset to the community.” Johnson said the Town staff worked hard on the grant-writing process for the playground replacement project.

Rain did not stop Farragut and other area youngsters from attending Fun with Farragut Fleet for a chance to play in police cars, fire trucks and Farragut Public Works equipment. About 150 to 200 children turned out for the town of Farragut-sponsored annual event, Saturday, Aug. 15, at Mayor Bob Leonard Park, Chelsey Riemann, Farragut public relations coordinator, said. “Our kids love trucks and tractors, and we thought it would be a good experience for them to see what they’re like,” Kim Carter of Knoxville said. “We had no idea it was going to rain.” Children scrambled into backhoes and on to tow truck beds, honked horns and petted Knox County Sheriff’s Office K-9 officer Argo, and more. While many children climbed on the equipment, others played on Mayor Bob Leonard Park’s new playground or checked out Knoxville Moms Blog’s tent, which offered goodies for children. “Despite the unexpected rainy weather, we were very pleased with the turnout at the event,” Riemann said. “The kids enjoyed climbing on all of the equipment and trucks, especially annual favorites like the Knox County Sheriff squad car, as well as new vehicles, such as the First Utility District TV van and vac truck. “We were also thrilled to have our new

Small business owner Jason Zachary had little time to reflect after last year’s Republican primary election loss to U.S. Rep. John J. Duncan. After winning the Republican primary nomination for the vacant District 14 seat in the Tennessee House of Representatives Wednesday night, Aug. 12, Zachary was proud to. Zachary defeated Republican primary opponent Karen Carson, 2,397 to 1,742 — 58 percent of the 4,139 votes — according to unofficial results. “It has been a busy three years,” Zachary said. “The Lord called us, our family, to a journey about four years ago and not really understanding why, I ran for Congress. That was not what we expected or what we hoped, but he has proven himself faithful and kind of put his stamp [on] why he called me to run for [legislature], which now gives me the ability to serve the people here in the 14th District and to be able to represent them. “It will truly be the honor of my life to be able to represent the people of Southwest Knox County in Nashville.” Carson, who did win ballot majorities at A.L. Lotts and Rocky Hill poll centers, 134119 and 73-38 respectively, said she’s proud of the way her campaign was run and wouldn’t do anything differently. “I think, while the outcome wasn’t what we had hoped for,” Carson said, “There’s See HOUSE on Page 2A

Various Farragut homeowner association board members and residents, who have joined together as Farragut Citizens for Responsible Growth, are preparing their opposition to a rezoning request, which would allow apartments north of Farragut Church of Christ and north of Kingston Pike at Peterson Road. About 50 residents gathered for a citizens meeting to discuss the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission upcoming Aug. 20 meeting for which the rezoning request is on the agenda and has
been planned for a vote Thursday, Aug. 13, in the Community Room of Farragut Town Hall. “This is going to happen, and it’s going to happen very, very soon,” Martin Ritter of Fox Den subdivision said. “I was told [FMPC and Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen] will vote on the issue,” Michael Wilson, a Baldwin Park resident, said. “The Town leadership needs to know we don’t want this [rezoning].” Continental Properties Company Inc. has an option to buy the 19.66-acre Parcel 69, owned
by Doug Horne, president of Horne Properties Inc. and Republic Newspapers Inc., parent company of farragutpress. Continental requested the property be rezoned from R-2 to R-6 to develop The Springs at Farragut, upscale apartments. Last June, the company withdrew its rezoning request but has since submitted a new request and site plan. Gwen Wheeler, development associate with Continental Properties was present at the citizens Aug. 13 meeting, but declined to comment. See CONTINENTAL on Page 4A

“In 2015, Gov. Haslam awarded a total of $6.6 million to fund Local Parks and Recreation projects across Tennessee,” Chelsey Riemann, Farragut public relations coordinator said. “The state has Local Parks and Recreation money to provide facilities at 50 percent,” Johnson said. “The Town received a $43,000 matching grant for the new play-
ground at Mayor Bob Leonard Park,” Riemann said, adding the LPRF grant program, established by Tennessee General Assembly in 1991, provides local governments with funds to purchase land for parks, natural areas, greenways, recreational facilities and to develop trails and projects within those spaces. “We always love to partner with different communities,” Johnson said.

at is the process and I think the campaign process went well. “There are good things about going through a campaign and it’s an incredibly intense time. It’s a very busy time, but it’s also
a time that, you know, forces you to stop and really assess your positions on many things which I think is always healthy and good and it gave me an opportunity.”

Baldwin Park residents oppose rezoning I attended the Farragut Citizens for Responsible Growth and Development Town Hall meeting last Thursday to learn about the Smith Road apartment rezoning. This appears to me to be an illegal spot zoning. Nowhere in Farragut have we ever had a rezoning where R1 rural zoning touches R6 high-density apartment zoning. There is also commercial zoning next to this. Spot zoning is the rezoning of a specific parcel or parcels of land within a larger zoned area when that rezoning is usually at odds with a city’s master land use plan and current zoning restrictions. Michael Wilson, a resident of Baldwin Park, which is adjacent to the proposed apartment complex, gave a PowerPoint presentation that showed many violations of the Farragut Comprehensive Land Use Plan with regard to the Smith Road apartment R6 rezoning. You can find this information at the website http://fcrgd.blogspot.com/ This rezoning only benefits the property owner and apartment builder. That is another sign of spot zoning. Like most
Farragut residents I believe that our town must follow its own zoning rules. I ask the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to reject this illegal zoning. David Rice Baldwin Park

“That plan was negotiated in good faith by the Town leadership and the citizens of Farragut,” Wilson said. While FMPC approved the plan in 2012, the Board never approved it as an ordinance. Wilson Ritter said there were four factors making the rezoning inconsistent with the Town’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan. “These inconsistencies are driving the numerous complaints from residents,” he said. Wilson said the plan requires FMPC to “protect existing neighborhoods “ by using transitions with surrounding properties and to connect surrounding developments when possible. “This rezoning and development hinders connectivity by

Following the meeting, Bill Johns, former Economic Development Committee member, said he was in favor of the proposed development. “I am in favor of economic development and smart growth,” Johns said. “The key thing I want to start out with, those of us who have organized have nothing against Continental Properties LLC,” Wilson said. “Actually we were invited by Continental early on to view the quality of their product. “They brought many pictures of their property, etc., much like they brought tonight over here,” he said. “We think it’s a quality product. “The issue we have is with the town of Farragut, and it really revolves around the Comprehensive Land Use Plan that was signed out in December 2012 by Farragut Municipal Planning Commission,” he said.

This Thursday (Aug 20th) at 7:00 PM the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission, FMPC, will have a final vote on the Smith Road R6 high density apartment rezoning. In 2012 the FMPC created the Farragut Comprehensive Land Use Plan, CLUP, to protect both residents and future developers. I have made the case to the FMPC on two occasions that this proposed Smith Road apartment rezoning does not follow the Land Use Plan. The FMPC must follow the plan they negotiated in good faith with the residents of Farragut. Fox Den Home Owners Association President Martin Ritter said in last week’s Town Hall meeting on this rezoning, “How can the town of Farragut contest any future R2 to R6 rezoning when they refuse to follow the Farragut Comprehensive Land Use Plan? By not following its own rules the town of

• I’m calling as a reminder to the parents of students at Farragut Primary School that Olde Colony Parkway is not a parking lot. Parking on this road not only blocks a lane that enters and exits the Village Green neighborhood, it’s also dangerous to park here. I have witnessed on several occasions children exiting a car on the road side and the distracted parent not noticing that their child is in the path of a moving car. If you choose to park and walk your child into school, please use the parking lot at the library. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

But those consequences may be farther reaching than the FMPC understands. Michael Wilson Baldwin Park
Fleet playground open for the kids to explore,” she said. “We comes out every year,” Chris Watson of Cedar Bluff said. “We started coming when [Watson’s son, Ashoke] was really young.” “Both of our boys are big fans of trucks and tractors, anything with lights,” Alexis Gallati said. “They are pretty much typical boys. Even the rain didn’t stop them.”
However, little boys were not the only ones enjoying the event. Girls also climbed aboard trucks and tractors. Clay Hamlin said he brought daughter, Kate, because she likes to see the big trucks. A little rain also did not stop James DeAnna, 2, from attending Fun with Farragut Fleet with his family. “He’s been excited all week,” Katherine DeAnna said about her son, James.
loss of gridded/semi-gridded streets and connection of these 64.99 acres directly to Kingston Pike,” he said. Wilson added the development lacks pedestrian amenities, such as walking trails, and it Wilson fails to meet the definition of medium-density residential characteristics, which he said the CLUP describes as single-family houses, as well as small multi-family dwellings — duplexes, triplexes, town homes and small condos or apartment buildings. Horne said, commenting Monday, Aug. 17, the apartment development was in accordance to the Town’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan. “We do meet the intent of the Farragut Comprehensive Land
Use Plan,” Horne said. “The Land Use Plan called for medium-density units on this property and we have modified our plan to go from 12 [units per acre] down to 10 units per acre with b i g g e r buffers and we put it closer to Horne Kingston Pike. We do have walking trails, heavy, heavy landscaping around the property and as far as connectivity, if people wanted us to have a road between Smith and Boring [roads] we could have proposed that, but we didn’t propose that. We didn’t propose a connecting road between Smith and Boring roads. “So, our position is we do need the Farragut Land Use Plan and … we must have elite apartment homes for the millennials, for the older people who want to
come back to be with their children and grandchildren.” Horne added, “We need to continue to encourage these big investment dollars in Farragut so that other developers in residential, both multi-family and commercial, will come to Farragut. We don’t want to scare off big dollar developments. “If we don’t encourage major investment dollars for Farragut, very soon we will be talking about a Property Tax. If you scare away all the developers and investment dollars for Farragut with bigger residential projects like this and retail projects, then you’re headed for a Property Tax. Homeowners sure don’t like a Property Tax.” Wilson and Ritter urged the crowd to attend the Town meetings then Ritter asked them to keep the tone civil. “Very few people — you can probably count them with a hand — that come and menace, cajole, use fowl language. Don’t,” Ritter said.

A new fitness center, Orangetheory Fitness, is moving into the Farragut area. Chris Davis, franchise owner and studio manager, said he had a “soft” opening of Orange-theory Fitness in July at 11674 Parkside Drive, Suite 674, in Turkey Creek. Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting Aug. 11, at its Turkey Creek location. “It’s not your typical big gym, where you just walk in and work out,” the owner said regarding Orangetheory Fitness. Davis said the facility provides group personal training classes, led by a group instructor, and heart rate-based interval training. Everyone wears a heart rate strap to monitor heart rates during a workout and follows the results, Davis said. “In training, we have five different heart rate zones,” he said. “One of those zones we focus on is ‘orange zone.’ “Orange stands for energy,” he said. “The theory is that’s when the heart rate is between 84 and 91 percent of the maximum heart rate. “You have an after-burn effect in 24 to 36 hours after the workout,” Davis said. Workouts are divided into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training designed for

maximum energy and calorie burn, he said. “In one hour, you will feel the burn,” he added. Members also will find some of Orangetheory’s equipment different, he said. “We use treadmills for integral training, water rowers for endurance and power and TRX for strength,” Davis said. The location in Turkey Creek will be the first Orangetheory Fitness in East Tennessee, he said. Besides Farragut, there are
studios in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Hendersonville, Germantown and Memphis. Other than the Turkey Creek location, Davis said another studio is opening up in Green Hills and another in Memphis. Davis said he learned about Orangetheory while he was working independently “I was doing personal training in Nashville,” he said. “I had the opportunity to try out Orangetheory in a number of cities. “I thought it was a great program, and I wanted to be
involved,” Davis said. He said he chose Turkey Creek because he likes the area. “We just want to be in the Turkey Creek area,” Davis said. “We like the shopping center. This is a great area with the demographics and shopping.” Orangetheory Fitness’ hours are from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday. Some classes will be planned for Saturday as well.

Careers in Retail Initiative helps workers advance ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
The Farragut community has been invited to get involved in a new project, Careers in Retail Initiative, being initiated by Goodwill Industries-Knoxville. Careers in Retail Initiative is a program designed to prepare employees with skills and credentials required to advance to indemand, mid-level management positions in retail, food and beverage or hospitality and tourism industries, Erin Rosolina, Goodwill Industries Knoxville public relations and marketing coordinator, said. For more than 40 years, Goodwill Industries-Knoxville has provided vocational services and employment opportunities to individuals with barriers to employment in East Tennessee. “The present program helps people obtain entry levels of employment, which is needed in our community,” Rosolina said. “But, this [Careers in Retail] program, is unique in it helps them move their careers forward.” Careers in Retail Intiative classes are free and open to the public, and classes are designed to fit busy work schedules. She said the program offers opportunities to connect with potential hiring employers and provides ongoing support after new employment is obtained. Goodwill Industries-Knoxville
had its first public interest meeting Thursday, July 9, in its Bearden store, 5307 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, Rosolina said, adding all people from the surrounding areas were encouraged to participate. She said the meeting was held to gauge the interest in the program. “We talked to local businesses about what characteristics they are looking for when hiring middle management,” she said. Goodwill is using that feedback from that meeting to help develop staff training and to recruit members of the general public who want to further their careers, Rosolina said. “We are listening,” she said. “Those are the characteristics we are teaching in these classes. “We are encouraging the general public and businesses,” she said. “We are one of eight organizations across the country selected to pilot this new program, so it is an exciting honor for us.” Participants include some of the staff from the Farragut store, she said. “If we see enough interest, it may expand,” Rosolina said. “We are working with businesses in Farragut on the program, and people of Farragut are welcome to sign up for this.” For more information on Careers in Retail and Goodwill Industries, call 865-558-8567 or go to gwiktn.org.

Kicking off with the Classic
First test of the season for area teams against current, past rivals
■
KEN LAY Correspondent
Farragut’s Admirals got a defensive touchdown and scored another on a long pass play in a 14-0 victory over former rival Hardin Valley Academy, a squad which entered Friday night’s, Aug. 14, action in the Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic Kick-off Classic before a near capacity crowd at West High School’s Bill Wilson Field nursing several injuries. The Hawks, which went 6-5 last year and will open its 2015 campaign tonight [Aug. 20] against defending Class 5A State Champion West High at home, were without senior wide receiver and defensive end Joe DeFur (who recently suffered a knee injury) and junior quarterback Gavin Greene [who sustained a season-ending compound leg fracture in a scrimmage against Cocke County]. The Admirals quickly jumped on its wounded opponents. HVA, which used quarterbacks Mihir Barot and Braden Cloyd, started fast and drove the ball deep in Farragut territory only to see Ads’ junior defensive back Jack
DeVault intercept a pass and return it 100 yards for a touchdown with 8:39 left to make the score 6-0. “That was a big play for our defense because they were driving and they were about to score,” Farragut coach Eddie Courtney said. “Jack made a great read.” Carter Phillipy’s PAT made the score 7-0. It didn’t take long for Farragut’s offense to get in on the scoring. The Admirals extended its advantage to 14-0 when senior quarterback Jacob Naumoff connected with Justin Kirkendall on a 70-yard scoring strike with 4:31 remaining. “That was just a great ball,” Courtney said. Farragut’s veteran head coach said things couldn’t have gone much better for his team Friday night. “Any time you play in the jamboree, it’s good because you get to see a team that you don’t normally get to see,” Courtney said. “You always want to get as many kids into the game as you can. “You also don’t want to get anybody hurt.” With his team’s final dress rehearsal in the rear-view mirror,

Courtney said that he and his team would turn their attention to the Panthers, who went 1-9 last season. “We’re getting ready for Powell now,” he said. For coach Wes Jones and the Hawks, Friday night represented another tough chapter in the preseason. “Any time you lose a player like Joe DeFur and you’re starting quarterback, it’s hard,” Jones said. “But there’s no excuses. We
just have to continue to work and get better. “We have to get ready for West.” Cloyd said he struggled against the Admirals. “I kind of got thrown into the fire tonight,” he said. “We had a hard time but I just feel like we’ve got to get better.” Meanwhile, Bearden also picked up a win Friday night. But it wasn’t easy. The Bulldogs overcame an early fumble deep in its own territory.
Bearden also had a costly penalty and were stopped on fourth down late. But Bearden, thanks to a crazy late play, was able to notch a 7-3 comeback victory over former District 4-AAA rival Lenoir City. The Bulldogs, which had only one victory last season, got off to an inauspicious start when it fumbled early. Bearden, however, saw its defense stiffen and the See CLASSIC on Page 8A
Webb, CAK looking to stay healthy for long run ■
ANTHONY ELIAS aelias@farragutpress.com
The 2015 season looks to be a reloading year for private schools CAK and Webb School of Knoxville after their finishes in 2014. CAK was upset in the Class AAA substates last season by Jackson Christian, 2-1. CAK coach Reid Estus and Webb head coach Sonny Trotter stressed health and attitude at the KIL Girls Soccer Jamboree, Aug. 1, at Samson Sports Complex. CAK scrimmaged against Farragut and Hardin Valley while Webb scrimmaged against the Lady Admirals and Morristown West. “Any time you lose seniors, you lose special players,” CAK head
coach Estus said. “Ruth Ellen Bailey was a big loss for us; she’s going to play at Wheaton this year. Carter Steedly was a midfielder and she’s going to be at Covenant next year.” Despite losing five seniors — four were starters — from its 2014 team, CAK is still getting All-State forwards Emily Threatt and Addy Cronan back for one more season. Threatt scored 24 goals last year and Cronan added 22 for the Warriors. “On paper, we’re a pretty good team,” Estus said. “and in [Region] 2-A/AA soccer this year there are a lot of pretty good teams. You know Catholic’s always going to be strong. You’ve always got Chattanooga Christian, Notre Dame, CPA, you know Jackson Christian last year; they’re all good enough to win it.
“Who’s healthy and who’s playing well for one week of the season, you know, that last week of the season.” Emily Patti also will return at midfield and be backed by Virginia Ozment and Rieley Chambers, a pair of central defenders in CAK’s defense. Chambers will be a four-year starter for the Warriors. “Right down the middle of the field, we’re pretty solid,” Estus said. CAK will be bringing in some young talent, including one central midfielder he's called “special.” “[There's] Eva Toler, a girl named Camille Franklin. There’s going to be another player, she’s had health issues, but right now, See WEBB, CAK on Page 9A

Bulldogs were able to hold Loudon County’s Panthers to a 35-yard field goal by Sergio Cornejo. LCHS stayed in control until late. The Panthers stopped Bearden on fourth down late and appeared poised to record a victory in the one-quarter contest. But Lenoir City fumbled in its end zone and Bearden junior defensive lineman Tyler Cooper recovered the ball in the end zone with 23.5 seconds left to play to give the Bulldogs a 6-3 lead. “That was the first touchdown that I’ve ever had in my football career and I’m glad it happened right there,” Cooper said. “I saw [BHS linebacker] Nate Adkins and then I saw the ball and I dove on it. “Our defense just keeps going and going.” After junior kicker John Matthew Lee added an extra point, Bearden was able to hold the Panthers in check. Bulldogs’ coach Morgan Shinlever said he was pleased with his squad’s perseverance. “We talked to our kids about not getting anything handed to us,” Shinlever said. “Our defense stepped up and did what they had to do. “They battled through adversity. We weathered the storm and we’re getting better.” Bearden, which went 1-9 last year and started the season with nine consecutive losses, obviously battled more than its share of adversity last season and Shinlever said that his team is ready for its 2015 season opener, a road game against Karns on Friday night. “They’ve had their struggles over there and because of where our program is, this will be a big game and it will be a good game,” Shinlever said. “In the first game of the season, the team that makes the least mistakes will win the game.” Webb School of Knoxville football coach David Meske saw his team grow up a little bit Friday night. “There were a lot of good

things that happened out there tonight,” Meske said after his Spartans notched a 7-6 victory over Karns in the KOC Kick-off Classic. “We have to continue to get better every day because we have three seniors who are back from last year. We have a few juniors and we’re playing a lot of sophomores and we’re playing a lot of freshmen.” Webb, the three-time defending Division II-A State Champion, took on the Karns Beavers, which were 0-10 in 2014, in the final dress rehearsal of the preseason for both schools. Karns will open the regular season Friday night against Bearden at home. The Spartans, meanwhile, will head to Blount County to take on two-time defending Class 3A State Champion Alcoa. Webb darted out ahead against Karns when senior Alexander Berube scored with 6 minutes, 39 seconds remaining in the onequarter contest. The extra point by junior kicker Andrew Favaro gave the Spartans a 7-0 lead. Favaro’s conversion would eventually prove to provide the winning margin. Berube said that he was

pleased with his squad’s progress during the 2015 preseason. “If you compare us now to where we were about two weeks ago, we’re a completely different team,” he said. “Even though we don’t have a lot of depth, we’re surrounding ourselves with people who know what they’re doing.” The Webb senior running back and defensive back said that he’s looking forward to taking on the Tornadoes [which went 14-1 last season] in hostile territory. “We’re looking forward to the challenge and we’re going over there to win,” he said. “We want to play the best and we want to be challenged and that’s why coach Meske schedules such a tough schedule.” Meske echoed his senior’s sentiments. “We face a big challenge in Alcoa and I’m sure that they’re going to be ready to play,” he said. “We’ve been getting better and we’ll have to continue to get better. We have to sprint. We can’t crawl, we have to sprint.”

Webb, CAK From page 7A
Lydia Heintz is a special player. She’ll make us a better team when she gets back. “We’re going to be pretty competitive on paper. We have goal scorers and we’re going to be pretty strong defensively.” Skyler Woldtke has been tabbed as the starting CAK goalkeeper. Jane Ann Foncea, who started last year in the goal box for the Warriors, switched to defender. “[Woldtke] started most of the season last year when [Foncea] blew out her knee so Year 2, she’s looking so much better.” Trotter was mainly impressed with the attitude and effort out of the Spartans when they kicked off preseason at Samson Sports Complex, Aug. 1, in scrimmages with Farragut and Morristown West. “The attitude and the effort has been really, really good, you know if we can keep everybody healthy, we’ll have a shot,” Trotter said. “We were two games away from playing for a state championship last year and we got some people hurt in the last regular season game that couldn’t play for the rest of the season.” Webb lost All-KIL members Caroline Cassity and all-time Lady Spartans scoring leader Halsey Howard, who was awarded her second straight all-state honor last year after 33 goals and 12 assists and helping lead Webb to the Division II-A Sub-state match the Lady Spartans lost, 30, to St. George’s, a game that ignited returning goalkeeper/midfielder Evie Satterfield and forward Alexi Reaves. “Well last season we had a very strong senior group,” Satterfield said. “but we lost them, we’ve grown together as a team and from last season just to end how we finished, I don’t think anybody was happy with that. That’s
given us inspiration, preseason, to work harder.” That inspiration has pushed the Spartans players to be tougher and try non-traditional ways to improve their team chemistry. “We’ve made that our goal this season,” Satterfield said. “I mean, we’ve started new traditions. We went kickboxing for conditioning one morning. We slept in our gym one night; had a sleepover, played dodgeball. Things like that really bring the girls together.” “We want to be tough,” Reaves said. “We were actually the first girls soccer team at our school to use the workout room. It’s good. We like it. It’s big, tons of space, there’s air-conditioning in it now, so that’s nice.” CAK and Webb — two teams that haven’t faced each other since Sept. 25, 2008 — face off, Sept. 11. The Lady Warriors beat the Spartans, 6-1, that year. CAK’s season begins on the road Tuesday, Aug. 18, when it takes on Alcoa in its district opener. The Warriors shut down the Lady Tornadoes, 7-1, in last year’s district opener between the two schools. CAK’s home opener, Aug. 20, will be with Chattanooga Christian. The Lady Warriors defeated the Lady Chargers in its 2013 meeting, 1-0. Oliver Springs also will pay CAK a visit, Aug. 25, in a rematch of last year’s District 4-A/AA quarterfinal between the two schools. The Lady Warriors won, 5-0. CAK will then look to avenge a
4-0 loss last year when it takes on District 4-AAA’s Maryville. CAK’s next two games will be on the road against Karns and Oneida, two teams which the Warriors outscored 12-2 combined. CAK travels to face Catholic this year, Sept. 15, in a rematch of last year’s District 4AAA and Region 2A-AA championships. Catholic won both matchups and the regular season meeting, sweeping the season series three games to none. CAK travels to Chattanooga for the CCS Tournament, Sept. 8-9, where it will play District 8-AAA finalist and Region 4-AAA semifinalist Tullahoma, Page — which the Lady Warriors beat in last year’s matchup, 4-2, in the Hendersonville Tournament — and defending District 8A-AA champion and Region 4A-AA semifinalist Murfreesboro Central Magnet. CAK will pay a visit to Grace Christian-Knoxville, which it beat 6-1, at home last year. CAK’s final four home games will be with Region 3A-AA champion Grace Baptist-Chattanooga, Sept. 24, Kingston, Scott, Oct. 1, and Knoxville West, Oct. 6. The Lady Warriors have outscored its last three home opponents combined, 13-3. Webb opens up its season against Central, Mon. Aug. 17. The Spartans and Bobcats last met on Sept. 3, 2013; Webb won 61. Webb remains at home, Aug. 20, against Powell, which it lost to, 4-1, last year on the road. NOW OFFERING

Grand Reunion
➤
Starting roughly 20 years ago, George and Horace Hamilton began organizing a Farragut High School Grand Reunion for FHS graduates who attended the school’s former location, near the intersection of Concord Road and Kingston Pike (through the Class of 1976). The Hamilton brothers (George Class of 1943 and Horace 1945) were honored for their years of work with various gifts during a ceremony in the middle of the most recent Grand Reunion, Saturday morning, May 2, in Virtue Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Roughly 70 alumni — from the early 1940s into the mid-1960s — enjoyed seeing classmates for the first time in years and recalling “the good old days” while hooking up with other classmates from more recent times.

Farragut High School Lady Admirals volleyball program held its first co-ed 4-on-4 Sand Volleyball Tournament fundraiser at Mayor Bob Leonard Park Saturday, Aug. 15. Concession stands were being operated by Lady Ads staff and players during the sand volleyball tournament, selling hamburgers, hot dogs, watermelon, drinks and chips. Music also was provided during tournament action. All proceeds benefit the Lady Ads and a return trip back to the Class AAA state tournament in Murfreesboro. The 11 teams entered into the tournament were split into Aand B-league divisions. Black Beans and Rice won the A-league tournament while the Itsy-Bitsy Spikers won the B-league. Scattered showers threatened to Sat. rainout the event. “Which is a great start,” FHS head coach Susan Davidson said about the 11-team turnout. “It was a good size for us to begin with. It really was. Actually we would still be playing probably until about 10 p.m. tonight if we had 18 at least. We didn't get to start until a little later. You know, it’s a good thing we didn't start early because we would've gotten rained out, but now it’s perfect. [Earlier] It flooded.” Returning seniors Ann Abernathy, Allie Rogers, Madi Howell
and Tennessee Sports Writers Association All-State team member Alexis Parker were among the Lady Admirals players working concessions, officiating tournament play and even getting in on the action. “I was playing,” Parker said. The All-State member played for 865 Crossfit, one of the tournament teams.” The Lady Ads are raising money for a return trip to Murfreesboro, but its main focus is towards its season-opening visit to Catholic Wednesday, Aug. 19. “You know for us, we take every game one game at a time,” Davidson said. “One set at a time, one match at a time and they're very disciplined on that. Yes, you know, everybody's expecting us to return, but we've got to take care of business on the front end to make it back and do what we need to do, so it's the little things that we focus on. You know, building that relationship between our team.” “I think coming up short last year's kind of what motivates everyone for this year,” Rogers said. FHS finished 54-4 in the 2014 season, its best finish in the volleyball program”s history. Brentwood defeated the Lady Ads, 3-2, to capture its 10th state championship, but had to come from behind after Farragut led the match, 2-0, giving returning players like Abernathy motiva-
tion for a better finish this year. “We’ve finally gotten everyone kind of back together starting at the end of July,” Abernathy said. “We”ve been rebuilding some this year, but it's gotten really well and we're bonding and getting that chemistry back. It's really important. And we always aim for state. We want to win it this year.” The Lady Ads lost four seniors —Sarah Lorick, Natalie Hartman and TSWA All-State team members Raegan Grooms and Emma Milstead — from the 2014 state finalist team, but gain a freshman class from head coach Heather Ackerman’s Farragut Middle School volleyball proSee VOLLEYBALL on Page 3B

Hundreds turned out with lawn chairs and blankets to sit back and listen to local singers during Farragut’s first Lawn Chair Concert Series. The inaugural event took place Thursday, July 30, in Founders Park at Campbell Station off Campbell Station Road.
Presented by MamaJam Productions, the event featured Roger Allen Wade and the Lost Band, Kelsey’s Woods and Sparkling Motion. “We’re just getting started,” Amy Boling with MamaJam Productions said. Boling said she and friend, Shandy Dixon, thought the concert series would be a good idea See CONCERT on Page 4B
Farragut dog and wine lovers gathered to support small dogs and enjoy a glass of wine or two when Dixie Lee Wines & Liquors hosted a Chateau La Paws wine tasting and animal adoption. The event, which took place Friday, July 31, at Dixie Lee Wines & Liquors, 13044 Kingston Pike at Dixie Lee Junction, benefited two animal rescue efforts, no-kill shelters and Small Rare Breed Rescue of East Tennessee. While trying wines from Chateau La Paws, attendees also could meet adoptable dogs from SBRET. “This is combining two things we love, wine and animals,” Andy Taylor, Dixie Lee Wines & Liquors co-owner, said. “The wine that we are featuring is Chateau La Paws. It features shelter animals that are to be adopted, and the wine maker donates a portion of the proceeds to no-kill animal shelters, so we decided to team up with SBRET, and [its members] have these adoptable dogs they foster until they are adopted.” And, to top off the event, Taylor said July 30 was National Mutt Day. “That was a pleasant coincidence,” he said. “[The timing] wasn’t planned.” During the event, Dixie Lee Wines & Liquors featured six varieties of Chateau La Paws

wine. “I think this is a different cause, in which the wine maker supports no-kill shelters,” Anvi Shah with Chateau LaPaws said. “[The crowd is] excited about it.” “This is awesome,” attendee Karrie Grene said. “This is wonderful. I’m excited to be here. “I think it’s a great fit because they are pouring Chateau La Paws wine, which features dogs in shelters on their labels, and [the wine maker] gives a portion of the sales to no-kill shelters.” Karen Marguana, a SBRET vol-
unteer, said she would like to see more of those events at the store. “I think it’s fantastic, absolutely fantastic,” Stacie Greene of Louisville said. “Any place I can go and take my dog, that’s where I want to be.” “I think it’s absolutely incredible,” Stephanie O’Brien said. “Who doesn’t love puppies and wine?” The Taylor family, store owners, also allow customers to show off their pets on their “Licker” wall, See PAWS on Page 8B

gram, which Davidson spoke highly of. “We’ve got a great group of freshman that have come in,” Davidson said. “Our freshman coming in, we’ve got a couple, Sidney Cherney’s a phenomenal setter, you know, and even at her age, she does a great job. Really
looking forward to three and four years with her. And then we have Caroline Bower, who we’ve not always had a lot of tall middles in our program and so we’ve got some height in the middles, and so it’s going to be fun. Becca Fisher has come in and made a good impact on varsity this summer as well.”

After almost a year at Crossroads Christian Church off Canton Hollow Road, the church’s new pastor, Nakomis Yeldell Jr., is looking at plans to build on the church’s spiritual growth. Yeldell started as pastor of Crossroads Christian Church Sept. 1, 2014. “You are really on a probationary period for about a year,” he said. “I guess they plan on keeping me.” “They went for a while without a pastor,” Yeldell said. “They had several different pastors and ministers come to speak, and after several months and several speaking engagements, they asked me if I would consider being their pastor on an interim basis.” Yeldell agreed and after a month or so, church members voted to have him as their senior pastor.

First Farragut United Methodist Church has partnered with Central United Methodist Church in Lenoir City to help area families with school supplies, food and clothing as part of its back-to-school ministry. “I think it’s wonderful,” Jennifer Smith, a giveaway recipient, said during a giveaway Saturday, July 31, at CUMC. “It helps everybody out.” “This is the first one I’ve been to,” another recipient, Amy McMahan of Lenoir City said. “I think it’s awesome. I think it’s a good thing they are doing for the community.” “We’ve been partners with [CUMC] for a year and a half,” Laura Derr, who heads First Farragut UMC’s food pantry ministry, said.
First Farragut has been operating a food pantry, as part of a food ministry, for about seven or eight years, Derr said. The church partnered with CUMC after Second Harvest changed its policy to not deliver food in Knox County, saying that county was overserved, she added. “So, when we were unable to do [the pantry distribution] at our church, we partnered with Loudon County,” she said. “We draw from seven or eight different counties, distributing the items in Loudon County. Even though the churches give away clothing and school supplies, she said the people who come are drawn to the food. “People are very appreciative,” First Farragut UMC volunteer Kelly Clancy said. “I honestly get more out of [the giveaway] See FFUMC on Page 6B

It’s Not Your Fault – Blame it on Mother Nature If you have a sweet tooth, you have an inner child. While you’re out and about today, notice how kids light up when given sugar! That delight in sugar comes from a natural instinct. (If you’ve ever tasted human breast milk, it’s sickeningly sweet.) Mother Nature used sugar (lactose) to get the baby to suck. And the rest is history! Fast forward to what you are now…an adult who loves desserts, cookies, candy, cake, pie, ice cream etc. If your mouth is watering just reading that previous sentence, and if you’re overweight, my guess is that sugar has a hold on you. Sugar is addicting whether you want to admit it or not. I got an email the other day from a lovely woman who has decided to cut out all processed sugar from her life and she’s asked me to help her. She messed up over the weekend and said she didn’t know why she caved and she asked what she should do now? Here’s what I told her and I
know it’ll help you if you struggle with eating too much sugar. To get your inner child back on track, start by talking to her about how disappointed you are and note how Pam awful you both feel, Young eating all Make it that sugar. Fun! (Of course she already knows how disappointed you are, but actually talking to her helps.) You already know one of the main reasons you slipped regarding sugar is because...it IS addicting. For that first year my husband and I cut it out of our diet (it’s been four years), I had sugar dreams just like in T'was the
Night Before Christmas. The sugar plums didn’t dance in my head, but I was routinely at buffets of delicious desserts and I’d wake up remembering how good it all tasted. Your choice to cut sugar out of your life is courageous and even though you know it is life-threatening and a matter of survival for you and your family, it’s still not easy, but you can do it. And just like drunks who go to AA, you have to do this one day at a time. I think staying away from alcohol is easier for alcoholics, than sugar addicts staying away from sugar, because we’re constantly around sugar pushers...even at church! We sugar addicts are like alcoholics, if we take one bite of that chocolate cake, we’re going to finish it and get more if we can. There is no middle of the road for us. Consider this weekend as a message from God, showing you the truth of how addicting sugar is. When you have this talk with
Make YOU a priority in 2015
TERMITES?
your inner child, invite God into the conversation and ask for His help. It’s too bad we don’t have sponsors like AA people do. Trouble is, with the prevalence of sugar, we’d have them on the phone all the time. Let’s start fresh today and put the bad weekend behind. You can do this. I’d like you to write down what you pass up today that has sugar in it, so tonight when you go to bed you can see how strong you were. You could get a little note book and start keeping track every day. It’s so fun to look back over a week and see your progress! It’s also very helpful to start noting how many carbs there are in candy, cookies, doughnuts, etc. If you want to restrict your carb intake to 20 to 30 carbs a day, you’ll need to be mindful of the carb count in foods. Oh, one more thing, you can do this because your success will help your daughter with her sugar addiction and obesity,

your failure won’t. I totally understand how easy it is to minimize the problem of sugar addiction. My rational mind said to me when I first heard the term, ‘Come on, sugar addiction? Big deal! I’m an addict, but I’m not hurting anyone! When I drive home from church after having cake and punch, I’m not swerving all over the road! Go ahead, give me the breathalyzer…all you’re going to get is a chocolate reading.’ The trouble with this addiction is it’s slow, and it does its damage over time. I just read that the US now has more obese citizens than overweight citizens. Thank you SUGAR! For more from Pam Young go to www.cluborganized.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized, ways to lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.

than the people do. “They say, “It’s better to give than receive.’ I truly believe this,” Clancy said. “We did at least 20 such giveaways at our church,” Betty White, who co-chairs CUMC’s mobile food pantry with husband, Bob White, said. “The mobile pantry gives at least 16,000 pounds of food,” she said. “We wanted to do it because it is a good, strong ministry. “We have a data base of people who generally come,” White said. “We found we generally attract 50 percent new people. “We are thrilled when we have folks who are willing to help,” she said. Besides food, Anita Oberdecker, chairwoman of Wesley’s Attic ministry at First FUMC, said recipients also can find gently used clothing at the giveaway through the church’s Wesley’s Attic ministry. Wesley’s Attic started in 2008 as a children’s ministry to “spread the love for God to children in need,” she said. She added, to date, 6,500 children have been served by the ministry. During a giveaway July 31, children also received new school supplies appropriate for their grade level, Oberdecker said. The community can help any time during the year to donate to these ministries, she added. Oberdecker said Wesley’s Attic is an ongoing ministry and serves all over East Tennessee, not just Loudon and Knox counties. “People come from all different counties,” she said.

Rev. Steve Graham
Gen 12:3 www.cfijerusalem.org
Yeldell ship positions at my last church that prepared me for this [pastor position].” Before coming to Crossroads Christian Church, Yeldell served at Foster Chapel Baptist Church in East Knoxville as chairman of trustees, president of the layman’s organization, the choir, associate minister for four and a half years and in other positions. Yeldell said he went into the ministry because he felt God had begun speaking to him. “A couple of years before I started getting these revelations, I felt from God, I would have these sermons in my mind,” he said. “I felt I was getting closer to God but I ran from it for a couple of years.” Finally, Yeldell said he went to his pastor and told him he was going to submit to God’s will. He had attended Southwest Christian College in Terrell, Texas, and then was in the U.S. Air Force for four years before he moved to Knoxville. He attended The University of Tennessee for a couple more years. “I strayed away from the church for several years,” Yeldell said. “Then I came back to church, my wife, Jobita.” The pastor said he thinks his worldly experiences will help him relate to people in need. “I am now able to share about the pitfalls of life without God,” he said. Yeldell said plans are for the church to build its spiritual growth then its numerical growth, and for its members to be disciples for God. “We have already expanded our mission outreach programs to give away food and clothing to the homeless,” he said. “What the Bible commands is once we are saved to seek to save others. I definitely believe in unadulterated preaching the scriptural doctrine.” Yeldell and Jobita have five children and eight grandchildren.
