New life for former Food City ■

from residents of the subdivision regarding the drainage system — which continued to leak — and the lawsuit, which had stagnated, the Town entered the lawsuit to intervene. The Farm at Willow Creek LLC then declared bankruptcy, halting the initial lawsuit. “All this time, we’re talking to Blount, and JJ&G, frankly, trying to find a way to settle the litigation. Although of course at that time, nobody knows what the ultimate cost is going to be of repair,” Hale said. See SUIT on Page 5A

ter owners. First Commercial Real Estate, which is facilitating the deal, also will lease spaces in the center. According to First Commercial president Keith Widmer, no contracts have been signed, but national names are looking, as are vendors from the former Turkey Creek Public Market.

Garden Ridge slated for outlet mall ■

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

The former Turkey Creek Public Market has a new tenant. Garden Ridge, a Houstonbased home décor superstore, has announced plans to open in the former Public Market off Outlet Drive in Farragut. Garden Ridge took possession of the property Wednesday, Aug. 15. “The quality of the newly renovated Public Market facility is

accommodating to the Garden Ridge business model and concept. That, and the future extension and upgrades of Outlet Drive to Campbell Station Road, were major factors in their decision,” a First Commercial Real Estate press release stated. The 160,000 square foot Public Market soon will offer more than 500,000 items of décor, including furniture, patio and garden accessories, art, botanicals, home textiles, housewares and holiday décor.

In the release, First Commercial president Keith Widmer said the company “had assisted Garden Ridge in looking at the Knoxville market since 2011 and the focus was finding a location close to Interstates 40 and 75 with nearby proximity to Turkey Creek.” Outlet Drive is being extended from its current terminus just past the former Public Market to Snyder Road and Campbell Station Road. That project is scheduled for completion in

December. The extension of Outlet Drive to Campbell Station will include a three-lane road featuring a center turn lane, a sidewalk on the south side and a greenway trail on the north side. Widmer said the retailer could open by November. Garden Ridge is a privately held retailer founded in 1979 that now operates 53 stores in 19 states. For more information, visit www.gardenridge.com/

Town negotiating lawsuit settlement ■

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

Town of Farragut made headway into a long-standing series of lawsuits related to a Farragut subdivision during a Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting Thursday, Aug. 9. Following a lengthy executive session — in which elected officials met with Town attorney Tom Hale privately — the Board authorized Hale to seek a settlement in a lawsuit stemming from a faulty stormwater drainage system at The Farm at Willow Creek.

Hale can accept a settlement with Blount Excavating for a figure of between $130,000 and $140,000, with between $40,000 and $42,000 of that money going to attorneys’ liens from other law firms. The settlement still is being negotiated. “This is a fairly complicated set of circumstances,” Hale said. The Farm at Willow Creek had a leaking underground stormwater drainage system for years, which resulted in a few road collapses within the subdivision and a sidewalk collapse along Evans Road, among other issues.

The subdivision originally was developed by Chip Leonard and The Farm at Willow Creek LLC. After the initial subdivision road collapse in 2006, Blount Excavating was hired by the LLC to repair the road and the pipes. Blount was never paid for that work, so the company sued the LLC. FWC LLC counter-claimed that Blount Excavating was at fault for the leaking drainage system, which it had installed, and added engineers Jordan, James & Goulding to the suit, alleging faulty work as well. Following numerous complaints

A few vendors from the Turkey Creek Public Market may be getting a second chance at storefront space in the Farragut Pointe shopping center. First Commercial Real Estate president Keith Widmer is in the process of facilitating the purchase of the former Food City in Farragut, 11130 Kingston Pike, in Farragut Pointe. According to Widmer, the buyer is a partnership with unnamed members. “FP Properties is the buyer. ... It’s just a group of local investor/developers. First Commercial identified that property, and I’ve always liked it. I thought it could have an upside if only given some attention,” Widmer said. “It’s a great building and there’s not many 70,000-squarefeet-plus shopping centers in that good of condition available in West Knoxville,” he added. The deal was expected to close today, Thursday, Aug. 23. “We’re excited about; excited to go to work on it and bring something new to Farragut,’ Widmer said. According to Widmer, First Commercial — which will lease the property — already has shown multiple tenants spaces, including national retail chains. One of those tenants may be Donna McNeilly, who owns TP Gold and had a booth at the recently closed Turkey Creek Public Market. “There are several of us that will possibly get together, and we’re looking at renting some of the space there,” McNeilly said of herself and other former Public Market vendors. “Actually, there’s another vendor already moving in there and we’re looking at space there,” she said. Widmer said, “Unfortunately, there were a lot of folks that were very happy at the Public Market and I’m sure several of them are looking to relocate to various parts around town.” “We have not signed any tenants yet,” he added. Specific plans for the center haven’t necessarily been set yet, according to Widmer. “We’re looking at all options: retail, office, educational. We’re looking at the whole spectrum as to how to best position the property ... and hopefully rejuvenate that portion of Farragut,” Widmer said. “We’ve had several national tenants that are looking,” he added. Current Farragut Pointe ten-

Farragut Primary announces traffic pattern changes

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Adding about 350 Farragut Primary School kindergarten students to the school’s vehicular departure traffic after 2:45 p.m. for the first time on Tuesday, Aug. 28, new principal Gina Byrd is expressing concern. With the added traffic, resulting from kindergarten classes being extended to a full day, similar to Knox County grades 1-5, Byrd said parents should consider putting FPS’s K-to-secondgrade students on a bus. “If at all possible to utilize our bus system, and if parents can put them on the bus that would help alleviate some of our traffic

problems in the afternoon,” said Byrd, as all Farragut and Knox County students grades 1-12 began full classes Aug. 15. “As an administrator, I want to assure them that we handle all bus problems; that we will have the primary kids, our kids — K, one and two — sitting on the front of the bus,” Byrd added. With Farragut Intermediate School students sitting in back, Byrd said an FIS older sibling “can help their younger brother or sister get off the bus with them. “Our concern is we don’t want the students here at school having to wait here at school for a See FPS on Page 5A

Although the northbound right lane of Campbell Station Road occasionally backed up near Farragut Primary School, with parents and school buses arriving to pick up children between 2:45 and 3:15 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 15, traffic flowed generally smoothly. However, much more traffic is expected when adding kindergarten parents around 2:45 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 28, the first full day of kindergarten at FPS.

presstalk • I usually get my information on Farragut from your paper, but I haven’t read about the stormwater ordinance that I was told was passed before the business [license] tax. If it was as restrictive as the guy I work with says it is, why haven’t we heard more about it? How can Farragut not follow the Tennessee stormwater law? I’m looking for your answer. Thank you very much. Editor’s Note: There have been no changes to Farragut’s stormwater ordinance adopted at public meetings in recent months. Farragut complies with and exceeds Environmental Protection Agency and Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation laws. Farragut’s stormwater ordinance can be read online at www.townoffarragut.org, under the “Departments,” “Engineer-ing” and “Stormwater Matters Program” tabs. • Hey. Last week my husband and I were driving down South Campbell Station Road and our car became disabled. It was about 8 p.m. and it was getting dark very soon. I just wanted to thank the many people who stopped and offered their assistance while we were waiting on a tow truck: many drivers, joggers and dog walkers stopped to offer their phones, see how they might help us. My extra special thank you to the jogger who went and got her car, waited for us to finish up with the tow service and drove us home. She had a family waiting on her, but she called to let them know the situation and kept them updated while she stayed with us. So very thoughtful of her. Thank you to all the good Samaritans who tried to help us. • Hooray to the caller about the Jeep on Autumn Leaf Road. It has been sitting there a lot longer than six months and it has expired tags. There is also a car on Bogle Link Road that parks in the red zone — no parking zone — the car is there 18/7 illegally parked. I, too, wish the Town would take care of these and many other cars abandoned, illegally parked and with expired tags and so forth. Thank you. Editor’s Note: Vehicles illegally parked or abandoned fall under the jurisdiction of Knox County Sheriff’s Office.

presstalk@farragutpress.com Subdivision covenants are not considered laws to be enforced by county law enforcement. Those violations should be addressed by the homeowners association. • Article forum regarding the medical practice: yes, the parking lot is full and the gravel road behind the two building addresses — 10900 and 10904 [Kingston Pike], according to the property map and details [from] Knox County — is owned by Parkview Farragut, 355 Trane Lane, Knoxville TN. The entrance and exits are Thornton Heights Subdivision property. Some of the residents have tried to report this as a drug dealer but run into dead ends whenever we got too close to the source. Thornton Heights is made up of mostly older and rental properties. Someone has to be protecting these people and Knox County is ignoring the fact. We have been pulled out in front [of], almost hit leaving our subdivision, dodging people pulling in and out [of] our street. So how is it the site name registered for 10914 property map details is Parkview West Assisted Living, and the 10900 and 10904 property map details is listed [as] site name Senior Health Specialist Lot 2 R? You must not have seen the article in CityView magazine back in 2010, or 2011 probably, [but] Farragut [public] library might have a copy. [I was] showed pictures of the “Doctor;” go find it, it will tell you the complete story. Does anyone care about the Thornton Heights residents? If so, please stand up. • I believe it would be a terrible idea to place two more traffic lights to support Costco. No new traffic lights were installed for Sam’s/Walmart just off I-40 near the West Town Mall, why is there a need here in the Farragut area? Kingston Pike traffic in that area is already at a breaking point with traffic gridlock going east and west numerous times during the day. Traffic is very busy in the afternoon all the way to the east of I-140, adding another light to support exiting traffic from the Costco parking lot to Kingston Pike will only hold traffic from clearing the intersection at Lovell Road. Kingston Pike traffic often extends west of Lovell Road back past the recycle center many times during the day. I would rec-

ommend making the south parking lot exit only to the right (no left turns). Extend the light duration at Lovell Road / Kingston Pike by 30 seconds for both east/west and north/south passage (to allow clearing of traffic through that intersection). Tie both the Lovell Road/Kingston Pike intersection light timing with both the Parkside Drive/Lovell Road and the Huxley Road/Kingston Pike intersection lights to allow a dead zone for Costco traffic. Editor’s Note: Traffic plans for Costco were discussed nearly a year ago in public forum, mostly at Farragut Town Hall. Public comment was taken and plans, including the installation of traffic lights, were approved. • Regarding your recent article on panhandling: I recent experienced panhandling on two occasions in Turkey Creek, coming right up close to me when I was exiting my car, and a couple of times I’ve seen the men at Smith Road and Lost Tree Lane with buckets and phony handwritten signs collecting for animals. However, here’s a new one on me. Yesterday, a man in a red, American model auto drove through The Fresh Market parking lot in Farragut, calling shoppers over to panhandle through his car window. Drive-through begging. It’s a new American low. Please heed what Sheriff’s Office Capt. [Jeff] Palmer said: don’t contribute seed money for drugs and cigarettes. Rather, give to legitimate causes. Thank you. • Hello. It’s the first week of school in Farragut. As a parent with a child in Farragut schools, I’m calling to wish all students, teachers, administrators and support staff a healthy and happy school year. I’m also calling to wish everyone a safe school year. As motorists head out for work each day, I’m asking all drivers to observe all school zone speed limits. Be sure to leave in plenty of time to make it through all the school zones without the need to speed to make up travel time. And to the student drivers at the high school: if you’re not in a hurry to leave campus right after school, stick around for a few minutes. Visit with your friends and teachers. Even by staying an additional 10 minutes or so, you’ll avoid all

the incredible rush of traffic leaving campus. So to everyone, I wish you a great 2012-2013 school year. Thanks. • I would like to suggest that beside Walgreens as you get Costco’s entrance and the other entrance out to that road to Farragut [Kingston Pike], I think the city should put some sign for the speed limit. People [are] driving too fast on this road from Walgreens down to Farragut. So there should be a speed sign to slow down the traffic, like what they do in Turkey Creek. Slow down. Thank you. • As I was reading the farragutpress today, I noticed again the disappointing way the death notices are presented. I find this to be very disrespectful. I’m sure you can find a place more suitable so you don’t have to go to another page to read the remainders. Would you please look into this? Thank you. Editor’s Note: We are in the process of moving our death notices to the back of our Community section. • I have read periodically about people who insist on turning left out of McDonald’s onto Kingston Pike, even though there is a sign there stating that it is prohibited. After witnessing more than one near-accident there, I’m wondering if that exit could be modified similar to the one at Weigel’s at Smith Road. In other words, change the exit so that one would be forced to merge into traffic in a right or westward direction only. To turn left, motorists should go to the traffic light at West End/Concord Road/and Kingston Pike. This is a safer choice anyway. Who is responsible for making these changes – the Town of Farragut or Tennessee Department of Transportation? Editor’s Note: Kingston Pike is a state highway within Farragut limits, but the driveway at the McDonald’s and Firestone Tire entrances is on private property. If the entrance were to be altered to physically disallow left turns — which currently are prohibited there — any of those three entities could make the change pending mutual agreement. • To your readers: Have you noticed that LCUB has started combining the TVA Fuel Charge in with their electricity charge, as

opposed to having it show as a line item? Because TVA’s charges vary with each month, there is now no way to know what exactly your electricity costs were for the month. I called and complained and they say it will not be changed back to the former billing format. LCUB’s number is 865-986-6591. • I too have been approached by panhandlers in Turkey Creek parking lots and the Walmart lot next to Sams. I’ve found them to be aggressive and possibly dangerous. These areas are private property. As much profits as go through these centers, you would think the owners/developers would hire a single roaming security guard to run the druggies off. That cost would be less than the business lost if people quit shopping there. I’m a male and have a carry permit, so I’m armed when I’m dealing with these drug addicts, but they scare my wife badly. Turkey Creek is a great place. The owners should protect their customers. How long will it be before some honest citizen shoots one [of] these guys? • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

A pair of Knoxville realtors are fixing up an aging shopping center with plans to turn the Kingston Pike site into an office center and move in themselves. Roger Moore, of Sperry Van Ness R.M. Moore, and Rich Levenson, of Re/Max, are in the process of remodeling the Century Plaza shopping center, 10820 Kingston Pike, with plans to move each of their real estate offices into the complex in September. The complex will remain home to Papa John’s Pizza and also will house a title company, CPA and residential lending firm, among other tenants. Moore said he came upon the idea of remodeling the center in 2008. “I went to Rich and I said, ‘This

And we remember that year as the year the real estate market crashed,” Moore said. Plans for the center were put on hold during the recession, but have picked up now. Renovations at the center include extensive exterior and interior changes. New tenant spaces are being carved out, and everything from windows and doors to flooring and walls are being replaced. Outside, the former brick facing is being replaced with stucco and stacked stone. Walls are being removed to allow for more glass. “The concept is to make this a business center.

Fun with

Farragut’s Fleet A sunny Saturday morning greeted dozens of children and their parents and grandparents for 11th Annual Fun With Farragut’s Fleet, in Farragut Town Hall parking lot, Aug. 18. Many of Knox County’s and Town of Farragut’s most important service and emergency vehicles and implement machines were available for children to inspect. Many got behind the wheel and used their imaginations. One highlight was the “swooping down” of a Knox County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit helicopter, which had almost all in attendance gazing skyward. Children got an up-close look after it parked on grassy Town Hall grounds. A KCSO Bomb Squad robot named Pee Wee moved around the parking lot as children watched in delight. Also featured was a Knox County Sheriff’s SWAT team ballistics armor transport, known as “The BAT.” Inside Town backhoe, from left, are Roger Jackson III, 11, Mason Andes, 9, and Mason’s brother, Spencer, 11

KINGSPORT — The 2012 football season opened on a sour note for the Farragut Admirals Friday night. “We just came out flat,” Farragut senior noseguard C.T. Leavell said after the Admirals dropped a 42-14 decision to Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett before a near-capacity crowd at Kingsport’s J. Fred Johnson Stadium in the season opener for

both schools. Leavell’s sentiments may have been a bit understated. The Indians jumped to a fast start, scoring Indians 42 35 firsth a l f Admirals 12 points. “This is not the way that we would’ve wanted to start the season,” Leavell said. “This is as low as we’re going to be this season. “It only goes up from here.” Farragut’s offense sputtered throughout the first half, open-

ing the season with a pair of three-and-outs and minus-2 yards. Farragut punted on its first possession and senior Jonathan King’s 52-yard kick was promptly returned for the game’s first touchdown. Malik Foreman got the game’s first score when he fielded King’s punt and dashed 77 yards to the end zone. “That was a killer,” Farragut running back Jackson Fain said. The Indians offense marched

77 yards on five plays for a touchdown on its first possession. Foreman culminated the drive with a 50-yard scoring reception with 6:35 left in the opening stanza. A nice kickoff return from Thomas Barnett gave the Ads possession at their 45. From there, Farragut engineered a seven-play drive, highlighted by Jake Bruce’s 34-yard reception. The Admirals, however, came See ADMIRALS, Page 2B

Bearden jumps on Hardin Valley fast, rolls to season-opening 45-9 victory

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

In a three-year rivalry featuring annual blowouts both ways, it was Bearden head coach Brad Taylor who had trouble singling out all the “really good” Dawg performances last Friday. For Hardin Valley Academy head coach Wes Jones, however, it was easy: kicker-punter Chris Gallahar was his lone bright spot in a 45-9 Dawgs romp at BHS’s Jonathan H. Burnett Stadium, Bill Young Field Aug. 18. “Bearden just played a great game, they outplayed us tonight,” HVA senior running back Morgan Knight said. Compiling 425 total yards (221 passing) while building a 31-3 halftime lead, Bearden’s split back/shotgun offense was a lethal combo of mostly straight ahead running from backs Josh

Walls and Trent Waters, and playaction rollout passing and running from quarterback Nicky Frizen (16 of 21, 221, three TDs). Meanwhile, Hardin Valley managed just 208 total yards against Bearden’s “3-4” defense. Walls’ 2-yard TD run began things midway into the first quarter. Frizen’s favorite targets were receivers Hunter Johnson, Ethan Pollack, Christian Robinson and Josh Davenport (16 total). “The offensive line worked really well tonight,” said Robinson, also a starting defensive back, about linemen Caleb Bartlett, Sean Grogan, Ethan Griffin, Josh Biggerstaff and Chandler Greer. Johnson hauled in touchdown passes of 43 and 18 yards in the first half. Waters scored on a 30yard run, making it 28-3 midway into the second quarter.

Robinson took a sideline pass and, with a nice cut move, went 24 yards for six points in the final seconds of the third quarter. Dawgs back-up running back Luis De Bulldogs 45 La Cruz scored Hawks 9 from 2 yards out in the fourth quarter. Bearden kicker Graham Rooke was 5-of-5 on extra points while nailing a 27-yard field goal. A one-handed interception and 18-yard return by Isaiah McDaniel, BHS defensive back, to the HVA 6 set up one touchdown. His fumble recovery — the ball jarred loose by a Pollack hit — and 6-yard return set up another. Defensive end Luke Hopkins recovered two fumbles. Linebacker Griffin DeLong led Bearden with six solo tackles. Walls, cornerback Eric Graham and linebacker Jake Jolley each

had five total tackles. Zach Messing, Dawgs’ outside linebacker, also was among many BHS defenders who made their presence known with hard hits. Hardin Valley highlights included Gallaher’s 36-yard field goal in the second quarter, an interception from defensive back Demonte Felden, some occasional nice yardage from running backs Knight and Tory Rice and a handful of receptions from tight end Matt Brewer. As for Gallaher, a Hawks soccer player, “I was really pleased with our kicker. ... This is his first football game; he’s only been kicking with us about seven or eight days,” Jones said. Ryan Ferguson, sophomore running back, put the Hawks on his back late, rushing the final 66 yards of HVA’s 72-yard scoring drive. Ferguson’s 2-yard TD run came on the game’s final play.

Both Christian Academy of Knoxville and Knoxville Catholic opened the 2012 football season with lopsided victories Friday. CAK began its defense of the 2011 Class 3A state championship by shattering the school record for single-game scoring. The Warriors routed Anderson County 76-45 in Clinton Aug. 17. Meanwhile, the Irish notched a 35-0 home victory over the Central Bobcats. The Warriors’ aerial attack stole the show against the

Farragut pulled to within 35-7 when Bryan Phillips connected with Barnett on a 27-yard touchdown strike. Fain, who rushed for 64 yards on 14 carries, scored on a 25yard run to make it 35-14 a short time later. Swafford closed out the scoring with his third TD midway through the fourth quarter. Farragut’s tough schedule continues when the Ads host rival Oak Ridge Friday night, Aug. 24, in another key early-season match-up. Fain is looking for a better result. “I think this will be like last year,” he said. “Last year, we lost to D-B and then we beat Oak Ridge. I think we’ll bounce back.” Though trailing by a one-sided margin in the overall series, Farragut has won its last six meetings with the Wildcats dating back to 2006.

The Indians scored two more touchdowns in the second frame to take a 35-0 lead by halftime. Devaun Swafford had a pair of short scoring runs in the frame. “Give them credit,” Farragut head coach Eddie Courtney said of the Indians. “They came in here with a good game plan. “They have experience at their skill positions and our advantage should be up front. They gashed us and we were really disappointed in that.” After a scoreless third quarter, the Admirals scored a pair of touchdowns in the final frame.

hosts Darlington School, Georgia, Saturday, Aug. 25. Franklin Murchison and Davis Howell each had a pair of touchdown catches for CAK, which scored on all but two of its possessions. Things couldn’t have gone much better in CAK’s season debut, but head coach Rusty Bradley said that his squad still has to improve if it is to make another championship game appearance in December. “On defense, we missed a lot of tackles,” Bradley said. “We need to work on tackling better. “On offense, we need to finish our drives. Overall, I think our

players did a pretty good job.” Meanwhile, the Irish, which entered the season as one of Knox County’s hungriest teams, used a Irish 35 potent ground Bobcats 0 game to dismantle the Bobcats. Catholic rushed for 393 yards, while the Irish defense was particularly stout as Central didn’t cross the 50-yard line until midway through the third quarter. Senior Nolan Coulter ran for 230 yards and two TDs on 19 carries. His scoring scampers covered 55 and 21 yards. He also had

a key interception on defense. Logan Lacey, Jordan Anderson and Cole Lombardo (63 yards on nine carries) each had touchdown runs for Catholic, which had 22 first downs. Irish coach Scott Meadows said he was pleased with his team’s effort. “It’s good to start the season with a win,” he said. “We had a lot of mistakes but our kids played hard. “Nolan had a great game but we’ve come to expect that from Nolan. He’s an excellent player and a heck of a young man.” Catholic plays at Cleveland Friday, Aug. 24.

Enthusiasm catches McIntyre’s eye at FPS, FMS

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Learning about “Pete the Cat” from Kathie Hatfield’s enthusiastic second-grade class at Farragut Primary School, Dr. Jim McIntyre sat down and joined student Irene Mamontov. McIntyre, Knox County Schools superintendent, listened closely as Irene explained and pointed to different things in her “Pete the Cat” literary lesson book during his tour of FPS and Farragut Middle School Friday morning, Aug. 17. Witnessing similar learning enthusiasm at FMS in Sherry Fischbach’s sixth grade science class — the entire class was eager to figure out how they all could stand on a large sheet yet turn it over without jumping off — caught McIntyre’s attention. “I saw a lot of real creativity around instruction, and a lot of focus on thinking and problemsolving,” McIntyre said, “Which are two critical strategies and key components of the new Common Core standards.” McIntyre visited several classrooms at both FPS (1,051 students) and FMS (about 1,400), randomly introducing himself to students while engaging them about their lessons and activities.

Both of McIntyre’s visits involved changes at the top versus last school year. McIntyre met with new FPS principal Gina Byrd prior to beginning his tour of Farragut’s kindergarten-through-second grade school along Campbell Station Road. Byrd informed McIntyre that “we’re definitely going to focus in on the reading and the language part. … That’s something that I will be more involved with this year. “We’re doing a lot of small group target reading,” Byrd added. “We have seven new teachers this year.” Byrd said her faculty includes “five lead teachers.” About FPS, McIntyre said he observed “that all of our teachers were focused on instruction, all of the kids were on task.” At FMS, principal Heather Karnes is on a leave of absence due to “health issues” according to assistant principal Elizabeth Boyd, adding Karnes is expected to return “by the end of the month.” Laura Boring, interim FMS principal and a KCS supervisor, joined Boyd and fellow FMS assistant principal Rich Fulford to answer McIntyre’s questions and guide him through the school.

Crediting Boring’s effort, Boyd added the temporary transition “was smooth.” While praising Karnes, McIntyre added, “I think one of the signs of strong leadership is

that the work, the direction, the urgency continues in your absence. “You do see that here at Farragut Middle School,” he added.

Learning ‘The Grid’ FHS marching Ads looking for national respect

Increasing the degree of difficulty in its program for 2012, Farragut High School Marching Admirals band ultimately wants to reach nationwide for respect. “My vision for the program is to put Farragut on the map nationally, so that bands in Georgia and Florida, and bands in Ohio and Indiana and Illinois, they know the name Farragut,” said Keith Clupper, second year FHS band director. “It doesn’t happen overnight. You have to take steps to build any program.” Learning The Grid, a much tougher program than last year’s Showtime according to Clupper, “Is the first notch in this progress. You have to challenge the kids, make it a little harder every year.” A certain level of high proficiency must be mastered by New Year’s Day 2013 and extend some 8,000 miles, when this FHS band travels to Great Britain to march in London’s annual New Year’s Day Parade. Among the 120 Marching Admirals learning The Grid, “For the seniors and junior it’s like, ‘oh my gosh,’” Clupper said. “But the older kids, they love it. They want to be challenged.” Then there’s the 45 freshmen on this year’s team. “The great thing about freshmen is, they don’t know any different,” Clupper said. “They don’t know this is harder than last year.” About the degree of difficulty,

“There’s a happy median there,” Clupper said. “In the past I’ve done shows that were way above the band’s head [prior to FHS], and we really struggled. “I learned from my experience, too, in 20 years of doing it.” Specifically about The Grid, “It’s a combination of the music, there’s a lot of technique involved in certain sections of the music, especially, where they have a ton of notes that are going really fast,” Clupper said. “And then, the drill is a fast tempo, really fast paced so their feet are really flying,” Clupper added. “There’s no time to recover, you’re hardly ever standing still. There’s a lot of weaving in and out of lines, and everybody’s got to be right, spot on, or there’s going to be collisions.” Senior Graham Wright, 17, playing baritone since his sophomore year, said about The Grid, “The moves we have to do are a lot more challenging than last year, and I think every year since I’ve been here. “We have a lot more things where people go in-between each other,” Wright added. “You have to dodge other people and move around really fast. Basically like you’re jumping around and running at some point. “It’s pretty difficult.” Saying the 45 freshmen members of the band seem “a lot more comfortable” versus last year, Wright added, “We started off a lot better than we did last year. Everybody’s skills are already better than they were last year.”

Senior Megan Earnest, 18, playing piccolo only since last spring and a former three-year flute player with Marching Admirals, said “there’s a lot more complex moves … if you’re not in line then you’re going to get hit with a drum or flag.” However, the extra challenge of The Grid “just makes it more fun,” Earnest added. Earnest said the freshmen “are just doing an awesome job this year. They’ve seemed to pick up on it pretty quickly. It’s sounding strong and it’s sounding good.” “It’s fun to play at the football games.” Earnest added. “But the competitions, where you get to go and watch other bands that are doing everything that you do, you get to kind of get see how you compare to them. “Kinda makes it all worthwhile.” The Marching Admirals’ first competition “is the last Saturday in September,” Clupper said about “The Karns Marching Invitational” at KHS Sept. 29. “It’s going to be mostly bands from East Tennessee that are going to be there.” Next is Foothills Classic at Seymour High School Saturday, Oct. 6. A week later it’s Volunteer Classic at Heritage High School Saturday, Oct. 13. FHS will host Admiral’s Cup Invitational, at Bill Clabo Field, Saturday, Oct. 27. “It’s pretty much going to be East Tennessee and this region. There could be bands that come from Georgia or Kentucky.”

It was a scary change at first.” Giving examples of some runners’ feedback about the change, Sisco said, “I’ve heard it from quite a few people … they’ve been, ‘oh, that’s great, it’s so much cooler.’ “It was one of those unexpected changes that turned extremely positive.” Because its “going to be cooler,” Sisco added, “The other thing that’s really super this year is we’re going to use long-sleeve shirts” as the official Chamber Farragut 5k shirt. “Everybody’s very excited about a long-sleeved shirt because we’ve never done that before.” Sisco did not commit to early November as a permanent date for future races, saying “we change our date every year.” As for expected turnout, “We had between 200 and 250 since I’ve been here,” Sisco said. Registration fee is $20 if done by mail (Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce/ 11826 Kingston Pike, Suite 110/Knoxville, TN, 37934). Cost is $18 if registering online (see below) and $25 if registering on race day, which is scheduled to begin around 7 a.m. “and will be over at approximately 7:30,” Sisco said.

Honken From page 3B

Honken, executive vice president with Great West Casualty Company (trucking and logistics insurance), was featured speaker during Rotary Club of Farragut’s regular Wednesday lunchtime meeting, Aug. 15, in Fox Den Country Club. Growing up near Sioux Falls, S.D., Honken said his father helped pique his interest about how government and town businesses co-exist. “Ever since I was a little squirt he would take me with him to coffee downtown at the local bakery. Probably like a lot of small towns, in the back there was a big table and all the local businesspeople would be there,” Honken said. “He probably started taking me there when I was six, seven, eight years old. “It was just a real treat for me. I would sit off to the side and listen to these businesspeople talk about their trials and tribulations,” he added. As a 22-year old insurance employee in Minnesota, Honken recalled the company president, who was resigning, approaching him with an offer. “He said, ‘I’d like you to take my spot on the local economic development council,’” Honken said. “And that was a real treat for me. So I got to meet some of the business people, I got to learn a little bit more and I got immersed in that.”

Prior to moving to Farragut, “As I moved around the United States with the company I work for, I served on a couple of housing authorities. I’ve done two economic development groups,” Honken said. Since moving to Farragut in January 1998, Honken served on Farragut Municipal Planning Commission before being elected to his current FBMA post in April 2011. Before his recent win, “I ran for office and did not win,” he said. Honken, who praised former Town mayors and Farragut Rotarians Robert “Bob” Leonard and Eddy Ford, said his Town Hall contributions started “in early 1999.” “I sent a letter to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and said I’d love to serve the Town in any capacity you see fit,” he said.

Quest for HWWW title underway ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

The 2012 high school football season and the quest for the farragutpress How the West Was Won presented by 3 Minute Magic Carwash title is well underway. Area TSSAA Division 1 teams had mixed results Friday night as home teams Bearden and Knoxville Catholic recorded lopsided victories, as did Christian Academy of Knoxville while on the road. Hardin Valley and Farragut both were routed soundly on the road. For the Bulldogs and quarterback Nicky Frizen it was a night for revenge as Bearden manhandled Hardin Valley 45-9. Frizen also erased his personal bitter memories from last season when he struggled against the Hawks. On Friday, he completed 16-of-21 passes and threw for 221 yards. He also rushed for 43 yards to help the Bulldogs avenge last year’s 32-0 season-opening loss to the Hawks, who committed four turnovers. Bearden’s Hunter Johnson

had four receptions (including a pair of touchdowns) for 109 yards. Meanwhile, CAK senior quarterback Charlie High opened the 2012 campaign by throwing for 505 yards in the Warriors’ 76-45 victory over Anderson County. High spread the wealth as he threw seven touchdown passes to three receivers. Josh Smith, who had two touchdowns on special teams, caught three scores. Davis Howell and Franklin Murchison caught two touchdowns each. CAK took home the HWWW trophy last season. While Bearden and CAK exhibited lethal passing attacks, the Irish did their damage on the ground in a 35-0 victory over Central. Nolan Coulter rushed for two touchdowns. Cole Lombardo, Logan Lacey and Jordan Anderson each scored in Catholic’s ground attack, which gashed the Bobcat defense for 393 yards. Farragut’s trip to Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett couldn’t have gone much worse. The Admirals, dropping a 42-14 decision to the Indians, found

themselves down 35-0 at halftime. This week, area teams continue their seasons as the Bulldogs head north to face Morristown East. The Hurricanes lost to

Fulton 33-0 on Saturday. Catholic heads to Cleveland, which was routed by Maryville Saturday. The Warriors host Darlington School, Georgia. The Hawks hope to rebound and
