report of a stabbing. According to a KCSO website update, the victim, whose name is being withheld, was stabbed in the leg during an argument with another man. The victim was later transported by ambulance to The University of Tennessee Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Officials said the suspect has been identified and his vehicle
was found and processed by KCSO. KCSO took out a warrant on the suspect and is presently searching for him. A representative of Farragut Market stated the altercation did not involve any store employees and no employees were harmed. More details will be released as the investigation continues.

Beer permits for The Casual Pint Craft Beer Market and The French Market Crêperie got the green light as the businesses are preparing to open their doors in Farragut. Farragut Beer Board approved a Class 5 Off-Premise and Class 4 On-Premise Tavern permit for The Casual Pint during its meeting Thursday, Aug. 14. Dr. Patrick O’Brien and wife, Barbara, plan to locate at 143 Brooklawn St., in the former Sunset Tanning Company building in Kroger Marketplace. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted May 22 to allow additional classes of beer permits, such as Class 4 on-premise tavern. “I’m excited,” Barbara O’Brien said. “I think it’s going to be a place where people can get together, have a pint of beer, socialize with friends and neighbors and enjoy relaxing.” “Thank you for choosing Farragut,” Alderman Bob Markli said. Barbara O’Brien said they plan to open in mid-October. See PERMITS on Page 3A

Martin Piller of Fort Worth, Texas, a 2008 Texas A&M graduate, stares upward with joy at the crystal trophy he earned, along with $99,000, as champion of 25th News Sentinel Open presented by Pilot. Despite a cloudy and rainy final round Sunday afternoon, Aug. 17, at Fox Den Country Club, Piller fired an 8-under-par 63 to finish 22-under par 262. Bronson Burgoon of The Woodlands, Texas, finished second, two strokes behind Piller at 20-under.

Farragut area residents and businesses experienced a power outage when a 69,000-volt switch failed Friday, Aug. 15. “That’s the main feed that comes into the substation,” Mark Robinson, Lenoir City Utilities Board assistant to the superintendent of operations, said. “That’s the reason everyone was out of power. “We replaced the switch,” he added. “When that goes out, we’ve got to fix it right then. They did pretty good at two hours to fix it.” The area from Choto Road to Northshore Drive, along Kingston Pike, the Fox Den subdivision and the northeast end of Loudon County were affected, Robinson said. He said such a switch failure does not happen very often. “Most often, it’s storm damage or an animal,” Robinson See POWER on Page 2A
SERC welcomes new members, ponders teacher rewards ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutprss.com
A new member of Farragut Schools Education Relations Committee tapped into her personal experience, warning the committee of its consideration “to reward money” to top achieving teachers in four Farragut public schools and Hardin Valley Academy. “One of the things that happens when you start giving money to people as an award, is that Miss So-And-So down the hallway says, ‘I did that as well, why am I not getting awarded?’”
said Carla Werner, a teacher “for 40 years” who recently retired from Maryville City Schools. “You might want to look at taking away the money component and giving them an honor where they are recognized in the paper or something to that effect,” added Werner, one of three new SERC members who attended their first meeting Tuesday, Aug. 5, in Town Hall boardroom. Mark Littleton, SERC chair, said committee member Mike Singletary “is a strong ally … also in that same camp” against See SERC on Page 2A

using a monetary award. While strongly considering a proposal last spring to go before Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen and ask for money to be set aside for monetary awards for two teachers — criteria to be determined — at each of the five schools, Littleton added, “I think we could probably back up and better consider [Werner’s] type of idea.” Werner said a monetary award “is very dividing when you’re in a situation where people are team players.” Any action on the matter was delayed until SERC’s September meeting. Werner joins fellow new members Lee Wickman, a former Farragut High School Parent Teacher Student Organization president, and Tony Carasso, president of Jefferson Federal Bank in Knox County.

“This is exciting to have new people on our committee this year,” Littleton, who was chosen for yet another year as SERC chair during the meeting, said. Gary Palmer, assistant Town administrator, presented SERC with Authentic Youth Civic Engagement program to be run by the Town. The program is intended “to engage the youth of our community,” Palmer added. AYCE information states that municipal goals should include developing “an infrastructure that supports youth participation in government” and “building a youth-adult partnership to support civic engagement.” Littleton added that Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill “is keen on youth involvement.” “The Town manager [David Smoak] and I talked about it this past week, and he asked that I bring it back up to this committee to see if it’s something this committee could kind of take and kind of run with,”
Palmer said. “Come back with some recommendations on how to develop this program.” Palmer added it’s still to be decided how the program is
implemented, whether “through individual teachers or civics clubs or whatever.” Littleton said SERC would place the issue as a “lead agenda
item” for its September meeting. Committee member Kristen Pennycuff-Trent was chosen as vice-chair and Wickman as secretary during the meeting.

Patrick O’Brien said Monday, Aug. 11, he and his wife have lived in Farragut for 26 years, have been involved in the community in various ways. “We are looking toward the next phase of our lives as I slow down my practice of emergency medicine,” Patrick O’Brien said. “We were looking for a business opportunity in the Farragut community.” As a home brewer, Patrick O’Brien said he saw The Casual Pint as an excellent business opportunity, and the Town’s going forward with the beer ordi-

Farragut receives LPRF grant for Mayor Bob Leonard Park playground replacement Town of Farragut has received a Local Parks and Recreation Fund grant from Gov. Bill Haslam and Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation in support of the playground replacement project at Mayor Bob Leonard Park. Sue Stuhl, Town Parks and Leisure Servisces director, said, “We are thrilled to be receiving the 2014 Local Parks and Recreation Fund grant for $43,000 that will pay for 50 percent of our upcoming playground renovation project. The playground at Mayor Bob Leonard Park has been well loved for 12 years and it is time for a replacement. Receiving these funds will allow us to put the $43,000 back in to the Capital Investment Plan budget for other park related projects in the future.” Haslam awarded a total of $6.6
million this year to fund local parks and recreation projects across Tennessee; the Town is receiving a $43,000 matching grant for the new playground at Leonard Park. The project will include a new playground structure, ADA approved playground surface and energy efficient LED lighting. The LPRF grant program was established by the General Assembly in 1991 to provide local governments with funds to purchase land for parks, natural areas, greenways and recreational facilities as well as to develop trails and projects within these spaces. Grant recipients were selected through a scoring process that gave careful consideration to the projects that met the selection criteria and expressed the greatest local recreation need.

letterstotheeditor Clean it up I’m writing to complain about the terrible mess the town of Farragut road crew made on Andover Boulevard. [The crew was] supposed to repave Brighton Court and Lindendall Circle, which is off Andover Boulevard. After stripping old asphalt, [the crew] came back with a truck containing a black sludgy material, which they spread on the two streets to help the new asphalt adhere to the old. [The crew] left a trail of this material for a half mile on Andover Boulevard continuing onto Smith Road and down Grigsby [Chapel Road]. At each stop they left a “puddle” of this material. For some reason unknown to me, the tracks are such that it appears the driver of the truck was having fun depositing this material or was drunk. A full half mile down Andover Boulevard has squiggly lines. I, and at least two other residents called to complain. NO response. This is unacceptable. One resident was able to reach someone in Town Hall who told him, “The mess will disappear

after a few rains.” We’ve had a few downpours since the mess was deposited. I see no difference. The puddles of this material will take several years to wear away. The Town was out recently at the intersection of Smith Road and Hickory Woods using machinery to remove some of these “puddles.” Good old muscle power would have done a better job since there is still a good amount of this material remaining at the stop sign. Slippery? [Andover subdivision] recently “earned” and was awarded for the Most Attractive Entrance. No longer attractive! The Town needs to send a crew to clean up this mess. I suggest a spray bottle and a toothbrush for the individual responsible. It is negatively impacting our home values.

FMPC approves Split Rail Farm concept plan, prelim plat
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farmstead Developments, LLC, developers for Split Rail Farm Subdivision, received the green light for a concept plan and preliminary plat, which includes adding more lots and changing its walking paths. Farragut Municipal Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the new concept plan and plat of the subdivision on the north side of Everett Road, allowing stacked stones on headwalls around storm pipes and pea gravel or pug mix on the private trails during its meeting June 19. Planning Commissioner Ron Honken, who made the motion for approval, said he had no problem with their requests either way. “You’ve done what we’ve asked people to do, to allow people to move from one development to
another,” Honken said. Mark Shipley, Community Development director, recommended using precast concrete headwalls, similar to the public trails, to lessen the potential for soil reduction and erosion around the pipe edges. Shipley also said pea gravel could become an issue for the homeowners association if they are not properly maintained. “If we do accept these private pea gravel trails, it needs to be made clear these do not meet the Town standards for public walking trails; and if they are to be private trails, they need to be maintained as long as they are an amenity of Split Rail Farms Homeowners Association,” Shipley said. Justin Morgan, one of the developers, said the developers want to make the trails affordable to install, so Commissioner Noah Myers suggested using pug mix or paver.

Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen will allow Dura-Line to have two signs placed on the Parkview Plaza building at Parkside Drive. The Board voted unanimously to amend the Town’s sign ordinance on second reading, allowing two additional signs on the five-story building, during the Board’s meeting Thursday, Aug. 14. “I feel comfortable with [the amendment],” Alderman Bob Markli said. The ordinance originally allowed only two wall signs on the building; however, businesses in the building asked for additional signage, Mark Shipley, Community Development director, said. Shipley said the signs are to be 288 square feet, distributed among the four signs across the building. On another matter, the Board approved unanimously a zoning change on first reading for Villas at Anchor Park. The Villas’ previous plan called for attached dwellings — duplexes — but when the market changed, its owners, Saddlebrook Properties, asked to amend the zoning from R-4, resi-

dential, to R-1/OSMR to allow detached dwellings. Shipley said the change would lower the density from 99 units to 62 units and provide more open space. “This is a no-brainer,” Markli said. “It reduces the density.” In other business, the Board voted unanimously to approve an agreement with Farmstead Properties concerning the repair of roads into Split Rail Farms subdivision. “You will recall, historically, the two roads leading into the [Split Rail Farms] subdivision property are substandard,” Town attorney Tom Hale said. “We worked with the developer to develop a complicated agreement,” Hale said, adding the Town negotiated the road improvement so the developers will pay $3,276 per unit developed to repair the roads. He said that could bring the amount up to $314,496. However, developers will pay over time as each property is developed rather than all at once. After an executive session, the Board voted unanimously for Town administrator David Smoak and Hale to formulate a proposal to Knox County and
Knox County Board of Education concerning what it owes to Knox County Schools from the Liquor Tax. The Town owes Knox County Schools nearly $1.3 million in unpaid taxes since the Town began allowing the sale of mixed drinks. In other business, the Board approved unanimously: • A bid of $23,190 for a new 2015 two-wheel-drive, half-ton pick-up truck for the Public Works department. There is $24,000 in the budget. • An agreement with White Realty and Service Corporation for reciprocal and access easements for property at 11409 Kingston Pike. The Town will install the access ways at Campbell Station and Kingston Pike, and the Town and White Realty will share the access road.

Sixty-two Knox area youth basketball players, from rising sixthgraders through rising high school juniors, took part in inaugural Wade and Allan Houston Shooting Clinic in the Knoxville Christian School gym baring the Houstons’ names Sunday, Aug. 3. “We’re going to talk about being a little more efficient,” said Allan Houston, former Tennessee Vols and New York Knicks star guard now Knicks assistant to the president for basketball operations, while demonstrating a catch, two dribbles and shoot drill, constantly emphasizing to
“stay low” as they pull up. Wade Houston, former UT and Louisville coach and ex-Cardinals star, said to the campers, “In the summer it’s great to play AAU Basketball. … But in most cases your fundamentals will go out the window. … It’s critical that you don’t only do AAU Basketball.” Luke Komistek, 13, a KCS seventh-grader and point guard, said he learned about “getting open and how to shoot on the move.” Being instructed by a former NBA All-star “is really cool and exciting,” Luke added. T. J. Brown, 16, KCS junior guard/forward, said he learned “better footwork and a better release” on his shot.

HobbyTown USA has relocated its store from 11364 Parkside Drive to the old Thomasville Furniture location, 11145 Turkey Drive, behind Steak & Shake, in Turkey Creek. Gary and Angela Phillips, president and vice president of the locally owned and operated store, opened their new location Friday, Aug. 15. They closed the current site Monday, Aug. 11. “We’re so excited about going over there,” Angela Phillips said. Of course, their Smokey the Bear will have a home in the new location, she added. Gary Phillips said one of the motivators for the move is interstate exposure, with roughly 120,000 cars a day passing by the store. Also, he said the new site will have easier access, and HobbyTown USA can use the parking lot for rock crawling and parking lot racing. The new store will have almost 8,000 square feet, which compares to the present site, which has 7,500 square feet, he said. Angela Phillips said they have outgrown the store’s room, in which the public gathers for various meetings. “Now, we have Scouts, we have a plastic model builder club, we have the Maritime Model Builders Club comes in here, we have Magic, the Gathering that comes in here on Wednesday and Friday nights,”

Farragut Presbyterian new pastor welcomed
Medal of Honor convention key player at Rotary

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
The Farragut Presbyterian Church congregation has welcome a new pastor to its fold. The church’s Pastor Nominating Committee has called the R e v . Matthew R. Nieman of Bellevue, Neb., as its new minister. ‘ “ We ’ r e really excitNieman ed and look forward to making the move,” he said. “The people of Tennessee and the Farragut area really seem to be great people, and we’re looking forward to being part of the community.” Nieman has left First Presbyterian Church of Belllevue. “Basically, it comes down to my wife and I really felt called by God to the Farragut Presbyterian Church,” the pastor said. “The people there were very welcoming and inviting to my wife and me. They really decided to place their trust in me and believe that God was calling me to be their pastor.” Nieman, his wife, Jenni, and sons, Jacob, 9, and Joey, 6, left Nebraska Tuesday, July 22. They arrived the end of July, and his first service at the church was Sunday, Aug. 10. It will be followed by a congregation-wide lunch to celebrate his arrival, Mikie Lancaster of Farragut Presbyterian Church said. Prior to Nieman’s arrival, the church was being served by an interim pastor, the Rev. Craig Hendrix, for two years, Ned Clapp, PNC chairman said. Before that, the Rev. Dr. Tom Nelson pastored Farragut Presbyterian. “We spent a little over a year looking at ministers’ résumés,” Clapp said. They received a litSee NIEMAN on Page 7B

While Anne mainly was a housewife whose did “some secretarial work along the way” according to Greene, “She was a docent at Farragut Folklife Museum for years and years.” Dot Steele is a good friend of Anne’s who daughter, Becky Lay, was Greene’s best friend dating back to second grade.

Celebrating her 99th birthday Sunday afternoon, Aug. 9, in a stunning pink Cinderella dress, Anne Underwood Davis already was planning for next year. “I told them that I would take this [celebration] this year, but next year I want a party,” Anne said, as roughly one hundred family and friends — including her little sister, 95-year-old Marguerite Campbell — dropped by her Wagon Wheel Road home in Farragut to fuel the celebration. Growing up on a farm in Columbia, Tenn., Anne continues to stay active. “I love painting and playing Scrabble and working crossword puzzles,” Anne said. “I love bridge, play bridge. “I just like living. … Live life to the enth degree, but be careful.” Marguerite jumped in and said another key to good health is she and Anne “eat fish, we were reared on fish.” Anne said, “Fish and country ham. … We grew up on vegetables and cornbread, bacon,” adding

Coming to ... Knoxville, in the history of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, was the first unanimous vote they ever had,” Thompson added after the meeting. “Several of them had already been here and had a great experience and got behind us and endorsed us.” While crediting help from other Raymond James employees, “I organized the bid. Raymond James footed the initial bill to really bring it here,” Thompson said after the meeting. “The Medal of Honor is our nation’s highest award,” Thompson told the gathering. “Just under 3,500” service men — and

Dick outlines Town government changes since the 1980s ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Betty Dick has just about seen it all, in addition to making things happen, concerning town of Farragut government. Among a handful of those living in the “Farragut community” in the late 1970s who became active to form a town, Dick also has served Town government off and on for four decades. She’s served on both of the Town’s major governing bodies: Board of Mayor and Aldermen (alderman from 1981 to 1987) and Farragut Municipal Planning Commission (’81 to ’85), then
back to FMPC where she currently serves (since 2010). As for getting back into Town government after 23 years, “You never lose interest. I never did,” Dick said, Dick adding she and husband, Jeremy, “moved to Chattanooga for 10 years.” Comparing her two eras of service, “Things are very different. Of course, the facilities were totally
different,” Dick said. “More residents came to the meetings. The rooms were small but many times they were packed. People seemed to be more interested. Today, they’ve become somewhat complacent, I think.” In the early- to mid-1980s, “It was not as politically correct then as now,” Dick said. “I think people were more outspoken then. If I disagreed with you I didn’t worry whether I hurt your feelings or not, I worried about getting my point across. “We were not necessarily rude to each other, but we very were clear in our discussions,” she added. “Now it’s so much more a
calmer atmosphere.” In 2014, “I’m still direct, but not quite as often, though,” Dick said. “Maybe I listen a little more now, I’m not sure. The issues aren’t quite as contentious, maybe, as they were in the early days. There was a lot more animosity from the people in the audience.” However, “things are more sophisticated now,” she added. “The Board today has lots of training throughout the year. In the early days we had to do a lot of it on the spot. There wasn’t a lot of time for training. “Also, I think the Board meetings [now] are more structured.
Everybody has a microphone.” Dick recalled getting “stuck” with one unenviable duty during her early years of service. “It’s kind of funny in a way: nobody wanted to be chairman of the Beer Board,” she said. “It was not a popular thing to be as far as the citizens were concerned. … They thought of it very different then from what they do now. “It became who could nominate someone first, and [then Mayor] Eddy [Ford] nominated me before I could nominate him,” Dick added. “That’s how I became chairman of the Beer Board for a couple of years, I think.”

Parkview’s angel Minix’s compassion for seniors comes out every day
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Having worked “in retail, catering and the restaurant business,” Kimberly Minix said she always had the desire to work with senior citizens. Then, on a whim, Minix “finally found what I love to do” at Parkview West Senior Living facility, 10914 Kingston Pike. “I live here in Farragut and drove by on my way to go shopping a n d thought I would stop in,” Minix, Minix a residential services employee at Parkview since spring 2013, said. “I’ve always wanted to work with seniors but I didn’t know how. “There was an elderly man that met me at the front door, and I just knew that this is where I wanted to be,” she added. “He welcomed me with open arms and something told me this is where I needed to be.” Minix “kind of dropped out of heaven for us,” Terry McKinney, Parkview director of operations, said. “She’s very caring, compassionate to each and every resident we have in here. She’s a real asset to the company. There’s not a person who walks through the door
that she doesn’t speak to. And it’s very genuine, it’s not superficial. “When families have questions, she’s always on top of every individual’s needs.” “I love seniors; I truly, deeply love them with all my heart,” Minix said. “And this job has been the most rewarding to me because … seniors are so appreciative for everything you do — everything. “My love for seniors just comes out,” she added. “I love coming to work every day. I love every single resident here. … It’s like a home full of grandmothers and grandfathers that I don’t have. I lost mine years ago. “I really think this suits me and my personality well.” Parkview seniors “appreciate the smallest things that you do, even just sitting there talking to them. … Some of them are very lonely and they just want a friend,” Minix said. “I feel like seniors don’t get the love from society, they’re kind of forgotten. “You love them and they’ll love you right back, regardless.” As for her specific tasks, “I take care of anything the residents ask me to do, whether it be finding something in their room that they seemed to have lost, to making appointments for them, to taking them somewhere if need be,” Minix said. “I do medication reminders where we do assigned times of the day.”
‘Empty nesters’ look to fill the void ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
As many parents send their children back to school, there also exists another type of parents — the empty nesters. Parents become an “empty nester” when “children grow up and move out, and there is a space or a hole in your parent’s life that has revolved around taking care of their children,” according to Beth Simpson, a Well Being Sciences practitioner. But while the term may seem daunting, Simpson encourages people to look at it in a positive light. “It’s actually a life change. It’s a part of growing forward [with] life changing kinds of opportunities. It’s a part of the life changing and of the growing, not only in the children, but in the adults,” Simpson added. The beginning stages of this phase are often characterized with grief, sadness, loneliness and a sense of loss, but there are alternate ways to shifting your time and energy to other places. Estaire Tomczak, a Farragut mom of three, is approaching her fourth year of being an empty nester and has learned quite a bit along the way. “I think what I experienced is this is a very common feeling … at first to just feel that loss, because part of what you’re doing, especially if you have just dedicated their years during growing up, [is] teaching them, and then volunteering at school and cub scouts and just leading different activities,” Tomczak
said. Tomczak has found fulfillment elsewhere, though, just by sticking to a few simple suggestions she has picked up throughout the last few years. “I think the first thing is not to deny that you have that sense of loss, because … it’s normal to feel that way. The second thing is connect with other women in the same phase of your life. It’s very important to have that sup-
port system. Third is to just get involved. In my case, I started … volunteering at a women’s shelter, and it’s just been so gratifying, because I can share my experiences as mom. I can help them grow and be a better parent,” she said. Simpson emphasizes that this phase should not be characterized by the fact that the children are gone, but instead that you have a new opportunity.

ing to Farragut, said, adding she and her friend talked about it, and her friend thought Rickerson should start one in Knox County. Rickerson said she got the blog started after her first son was born. “I didn’t really have a lot of friends who had children already, so I wanted to find a way to connect to other moms through activities and with local businesses as well,” she said. “Before I had kids, I worked at Wells Fargo,” Rickerson, who has a sales-management background, said. “I missed that interaction with other people in business.”
The Knoxville Moms Blog is part of the City Moms Blog Network, which encompasses cities across the United States, she said. The blog offers personal stories and upcoming seasonal events, DIY projects, crafts, recipes and reviews of businesses, Rickerson said. “We also sponsor posts for businesses and reviews and giveaways,” she said. “Everyday we have daily content from our 13 writers, who are all local.” One writer, Beth Rivers, said she was not a blogger before writing See MOMS on Page 5B

4 Tips for Getting Guilt-Free Couch Time Have you ever traveled a long way and upon arrival to someone’s home the host asks, “Would you like to freshen up?” Indeed, freshen up after a long journey sounds fabulous! Often, right before my dad came home from work, my mom would say to my Pam sister Peggy Young and me, Make it “Girls, your Fun! dad’ll be home in 15 minutes, I’m going to go freshen up.” She’d be in the bathroom for about ten minutes and when she’d come out, she looked fresh. What I didn’t realize back then was my BOP (Born Organized Person) mother was setting the stage for her leisurely evening with my dad. During your day, find as many ways as you can to get things done so that you can stop work at 6:00 pm. Consider it quitting time. Of course if you’re a mom, your little Snuggle Bunnies will need your love and attention after six, but I’m talking about the household workload. If you tend to be frazzled in the
evening, you’ll love my 4 tips for making guilt-free couch time a reality. Read more Get Organized By getting organized and creating a routine, you’ll work smart in your day, and give yourself leisure evenings. Peggy and I were in bed by 8:30 and that gave my dad and mom time alone to relax and enjoy their evenings with each other, Pam and Peggy-free. When I had kids of my own, I remember wanting that same goal, but because I was disorganized, I didn’t have good habits and wasn’t in control of a routine that enabled me to get the kids in bed by 8:30. Instead of heading to the bathroom to freshen up before my husband got home for dinner, I’d be thawing steaks in the dishwasher (no soap)(pre-microwave days) and deciding whether to get dressed or just stay in my pajamas. We’d eat late, and the kids would be in bed by 9:30 or 10:00 if I were lucky. Make ahead Meals Freeze Some Free Time Having a freezer is like having a time capsule. With a freezer, you can actually freeze free time. For example, when I make chili and soups, I make enough for four to six extra meals and freeze in ZipLock freezer bags to use when I’m super busy or I’m not in the mood to cook. Since you’re going to
make a mess anyway when you cook, you might as well get more meals for your mess. When you cook double a couple times a week and freeze your entrées for another night, you become your own convenience food company. By freezing meals, you save the prep and clean-up time for those frozen meals to be served later. When I make a salad for my husband and me, I make enough for two nights and before I put dressing on it, I put half the lettuce and vegetables (tomatoes, green onions, fresh parsley, radishes etc.) in a Zip-Lock bag for the next night. I make my own salad dressings (a week’s supply at a time) and add it to the salad and toss, right before serving. The convenience food industry would love us to believe that they are helping busy people, get food on the table quick and easy, but in reality, it takes the same amount of time and energy to bake a chicken, roast some healthy sweet potatoes, and toss a fresh, green salad as it does to prepare stuff from a box, and when you prepare enough for another day or two, you’ll be freezing free time for the future. Learn to Delegate Think about all the chores that can be done before six and get the family into a routine that involves them accomplishing those chores.
Kids can bathe, set out clothes for tomorrow, and tidy up their rooms before dinner. They can also help with laundry, vacuum, dust, set the table and meal preparation. After six, when dinner is over, delegate kitchen clean-up to the family and go get in your jammies. In my book The Joy of Being Disorganized, (available on Amazon) I wrote about the art of delegation. It is an art and most moms I know are not very good at it. Here’s an excerpt from the book about the art. What’s very interesting about delegating is that once a job has been assigned to someone else and you are no longer responsible for doing it, you’ll find that you’ll be more willing to do that job as well. For example, my husband Terry does all dishes for every meal and, with that chore off my shoulders, I feel free. In that freedom, often I’ll have the thought, “I’ll surprise Terry and wash all the pots and pans before I call him to dinner,” or “I’ll tell him after breakfast that I’ll do the dishes because I know all the extra work he has to do right now.” Also, when jobs are delegated and there is an offer to help by the delegator, there is so much gratitude for the help! Before you know it, the delegatee will return the favor and do one of the chores on the delegator’s list. It’s a beau-

as she. “I think it’s been really great,” Rickerson said about the blog. “We have had awesome feedback. It is very fulfilling seeing moms connect and have a great resource for information.” Rickerson said she is planning to start a roundup of events, such as splash pads in East Tennessee, pick-your-own farms and summer and winter activities.

tiful cycle! Enlightened Selfishness Be selfish about your personal time. Make a list of down-time activities like luxuriating in a bubble bath, reading, watching a movie, playing with a hobby that relaxes you and such. Learn to say, “NO” Get into the mindset, if you’re not already, that you deserve help. Getting help doesn’t mean you are some poor soul who isn’t strong enough to do it all. I remember in my young motherhood, taking on more than I could possibly do, just to be liked. When I figured out what was behind my unreasonably overbooked schedule, I started saying “NO,” If you’re a people pleaser; this is going to be a new skill you’ll need to learn. As a caregiver, you need downtime on a daily basis. I hope these tips will help you get into the habit of taking the night off. Thank you for reading my article.

It was founded in 1862 by president Abraham Lincoln.” Friday, Sept. 12, “is all about schools. There’s nothing more important to the Medal of Honor recipients than getting in and talking to schoolchildren. … We’ll be visiting about 10 local schools in the area. We’ll be delivering the recipients to the schools in Blackhawk helicopters.” Schools include Hardin Valley Academy, Knoxville Catholic High, Sacred Heart Cathedral and Cedar Bluff Middle. With the convention’s theme “A Taste of Tennessee,” a Thursday, Sept. 11, breakfast “is open to the public.” For more information, go to mohknoxville.com “One of the biggest events from the community standpoint is the autograph session,” Thompson said. A book will be available “that profiles all the living Medal of Honor recipients going back from 2001 on. We line the recipients up in the order that they are in the book and they sign their page in the book.” The convention closes Saturday, Sept. 13, with “The Patriot Award Gala, that’s the black tie event” in Knoxville Convention Center. Actor Gary Sinise will serve as Gala master of ceremonies. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Jr. will receive Patriot Award. “That’s no small task, to get a [U.S.] Supreme Court Justice here.
