Unwelcome guest in Town Dead crow in Farragut Crossing tests positive for West Nile Virus
■

When Angela Baakko, a Farragut Crossing resident, looked outside and saw a “black hump” in her backyard, she knew it shouldn’t be there. “It just looked out of place,” she said. The dead crow she found in her yard Aug. 24 tested positive for West Nile Virus. “I’ve just known for a long time any kind of dead bird’s not good and I could tell it was fresh and it didn’t look like anything was wrong with it. So I just Googled ‘Knox County’ and ‘dead birds’ and came across the health department website and called the number,” Baakko said. “They instructed me to preserve it and save it if I could. I was able to since I had some cooling packs and I happened to have a Styrofoam cooler. My son gets refrigerated medicines, so I happened to have that, so I packed it up and they came by the next morning

and picked it up. “They sent that off for testing and I spoke with them [Sept. 7] about the results and they told me it did test positive for West Nile,” she added. “One of my kids is immunosuppressed from a transplant, so I’m always listening for things out there. He’s doing great. He had a heart transplant when he was 6

weeks old, but you’d never know it by looking at him.” “When we find a bird, we try to concentrate on that area to reduce the adult population of
mosquitos,” said Ronnie Nease, director of Environmental Health for Knox County Health Department. Mosquitos will feed on the bird and then they could get the
virus from the bird and transfer it to a human. ... They’re kind of a host. They have the potential to See WEST NILE on Page 3A

Thanks to purchasing their home and rental property on high ground in and near Houston — on a 500-year flood plain — David Hoffman avoided flood damage that surrounded him with Hurricane Harvey’s deadly and extremely destructive effects. Hoffman, who grew up in Farragut and graduated from Knoxville Catholic High School in 1997, and wife, Laura Hoffman, “have seen the good and the bad,” John Hoffman, David’s father and a Farragut resident, said about his son’s home at The Woodlands in Conroe, Texas. It’s about 30 miles from downtown Houston. “When we talked the other day,” David said, “‘there are parts of Houston where you’d go into it and you’d say, what hurricane? What rain? It was just all normal,’” John added. However, severe flooding “can be just a few blocks away,” John said he learned from David. “… If there’s only a few feet

Horne reflects on groundbreaking TPA membership as paper enters 30th year

ALAN SLOAN editor@farragutpress.com
As farragutpress begins its 30th year as the newspaper of record for Farragut and Concord, while also serving Hardin Valley and selected areas of West Knox County, the newspaper broke new ground when it joined Tennessee Press Association earlier this summer. With free-distribution newspapers such as farragutpress previously not allowed to join, “Ten-
nessee Press Association realized many community newspapers had gone to free distribution. And some of them, like farragutpress, are excellent newspapers. The board finally came around to accepting it,” said Doug Horne, owner of Republic Newspapers, Inc., parent company of farragutpress, and owner of Horne Properties, Inc. and Horne Radio, LLC. “The first one voted in by the Tennessee Press Association Board was the farragutpress,” he
added. “After that, that same day [July 20], I think there were five more that they voted in.” Pointing out a growing trend, “The dailies in print media are struggling more than the weeklies,” Horne said. “We focus more on covering the community,” he added. “It’s kind of a vote of confidence for community newspapers, and it makes me feel real good about the future for community newspapers.” Originally named Press Enter-
prise, this paper’s first issue rolled hot off the press with the dateline of Sept. 13, 1988. H o w e v e r, Horne said a defining moment for the Horne newspaper’s success came in April 2002. “We started focusing pretty
much on Farragut community news, the schools and the churches; we hit the right button covering the heartbeat of Farragut. And we called it the farragutpress,” he said. “Since then we’ve had an excellent newspaper and an excellent staff,” he added. “We’ve had excellent advertising people and excellent news people. I think we’ve been good stewards in the community and we’re real proud of that, of course.”

• A Campbell Lakes Drive complainant advised between 8 p.m., Friday, Aug. 18, and 4:04 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 19, an unknown suspect broke into his 2011 Dodge Charger and stole a handgun valued at $450. He advised all of his doors were locked and there was no damage done to the vehicle, so he isn’t sure how the suspect got into the vehicle. He was advised to call back if he could locate a serial number for the item. • A Roane Drive complainant advised an unknown suspect called at noon, Thursday, Aug. 17, claiming to be from the IRS. The suspect told the victim he had a warrant for his arrest due to missing jury duty. The suspect told the complainant to go to a nearby store and purchase iTunes gift cards adding up to $2,000. After the victim purchased the
gift cards he gave the suspect the information from the back of the cards. The suspect called back at 2:30 p.m. after getting the card information requesting more money, but the victim refused to do so. • A Ridgecrest Drive victim stated between midnight and 1 a.m., Monday, Aug. 14, an unknown suspect stole her wallet and cell phone off the bar while at Cotton Eyed Joe, Outlet Drive, Farragut. Total value of loss was listed at $670. Victim said she didn’t leave the bar but had it lying to the side and when she turned around it was gone. • A complainant stated between 10:07 and 10:10 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 13, a suspect stole $90 from the tip jar on the counter by the register at Einstein Bros. Bagels, Parkside Drive. The un-
known suspect took a newspaper and wrapped it around the tip jar and walked out of the business. The same suspect did the exact same thing at the other Einstein Bros. Bagels location on Saturday, Aug. 12. Video footage is available. • An Aragon Lane complainant stated between midnight and 9:30 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 13, a 1996 Nissan Maxima he was driving was stolen in the parking lot of Mellow Mushroom, Grigsby Chapel Road. Value of vehicle was listed as $1,200. The vehicle is in his mother’s name but complainant has permission to drive the vehicle. Complainant was unsure if the vehicle doors were locked and thought he may have left the keys inside the vehicle because he does not have the keys. No known suspects during the time of report.

“In his practice [as an oral surgeon] he was dealing with patients who were having issues,” the father added. John and Mike Singletary both are members of The Rotary Club of Farragut. Singletary’s daughter, Angie Dailey, and son-in-law, Kevin Daily, also avoided any flood damage at their home in Spring, Texas, “about 15 miles from Houston,” Singletary said.
About Kevin’s fishing boat rescue of flood-stranded victims, “He did that for at least four days,” Singletary said. Singletary said the floodwaters were close to their home. “The neighborhood she lives in is a good-sized neighborhood, and on her street further down the road there was some flooding,” he said. On Sept. 8, “my daughter [was] helping to gather supplies to help people in their neighborhood.”

transfer it to a human.” Should the residents of Farragut Crossing be concerned? “The main thing is to continue to be vigilant and wear their repellent or long sleeves and long pants when outdoors,” Nease said. “They need to also tip and toss any water they can find,” he added, “because any water is a breeding site. An example would be now that school is back in, there could be toys left outside, little wading pools … anything that retains water.” Looking back, “West Nile Virus has been in Knox County for years and years — since 2000,” Nease said. “What we’re trying to do by spraying is reduce the incident of adult mosquitos biting a person.” Knox County officials were scheduled to spray in Farragut Crossing, weather permitting, Tuesday evening, Sept. 12, Nease added. “… We go down the street and it goes about 50 feet. It’s a very environmentally-safe spray. The process we’re using is a CDC protocol. “The latest lab report has confirmed the presence of West Nile virus in Culex mosquitoes in the ... West Kingston Pike area of West Knox County,” stated a Sept. 8 press release from Katharine Killen, community relations director for KCHD. “… The Farragut Crossing area of Farragut and the Turkey Creek area of West Knoxville have each had a crow or jay test positive for WNV.” “Crows and jays do not transmit

West Nile to humans, but they get it from mosquitoes just like we do,” Nease stated in the release. “Like mosquitoes, crows and jays are part of the CDC protocol for West Nile virus surveillance. They are considered a sentinel or an indicator of the presence of the virus in an area; it’s not uncommon for us to have a West Nile-positive bird. “While there is no evidence that a person can get infected from handling live or dead infected birds, it’s important to always avoid bare-hand contact with any dead animal,” Nease added. “If you must pick up a dead bird, use gloves or an inverted plastic bag to place the bird in a garbage bag.” Areas in and near Farragut scheduled for treatment Tuesday, Sept. 12: Farragut Crossing area: Farragut Crossing; Belleaire Drive; Vista Trail; Mountain View Road; Crestview Road; Bantry Lane; Harrow Road to Midhurst Drive; Midhurst Drive from East Kingsgate Road to Bantry Lane; East Kingsgate Road; Peterson Road; Byron Lane; Keats Lane; Dorcee Lane and Newgate Drive. Followup spraying is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 26, weather permitting. Turkey Creek area: Gates Mill Drive; Glen Willow Drive; Lake Meadow Drive; Briar Gates Lane from Glen Iris Lane to Gates Mill Drive; Bancroft Lane; Glen Iris Lane; Woodland Trace Drive; Timberhill Court; Matthews Cove Lane; and Fords Cove Lane. Follow-up spraying is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 26, weather permitting.

letters to the editor The Farragut Gun Club’s position [along with other similar community groups as recently collected and summarized by its memberships] per the Town of Farragut’s proposed change in a weapons policy for its public buildings, including Town Hall, is straightforward: The Town of Farragut should either a) install metal/sensor detectors with fulltime screeners at all of it entrances, invest in other security measures for its departments and offices and provide full-time outdoor security patrols for the public parking lots, or b) just allow the law-abiding handgun permit-holders to exercise their rights in protecting their life and the lives of other family members when visiting the Town of Farragut offices. Although Tennessee allows either “open or concealed carry” for handgun permitholders within the state, the Farragut Gun Club [and similar community groups] would support and accept “Lawful Concealed Carry Only” or similar wording at the Town of Farragut’s Town Hall. Handgun permit-holders are one of the largest vetted groups in Tennessee along with law enforcement/security professionals, teachers/child care staff and medical professionals. Handgun permit-holders are “law abiding,” whereas criminals target their prey such as the elderly, disabled and mothers and/or their children at will in “gun-free zones.” Likewise, those with current threats against them, such as those individuals holding restraining or-

President Donald Trump’s successful 2016 presidential campaign. Under the campaign slogan “Turning Tennessee Back to God and Family,” White’s pledges if elected governor include: “Incorporate greater state line security to stop the flow of drugs into the state … turn the education system back to each local county … I do not support Common Core … legislation to ensure all veterans have the medical care they need … legislation to designate one-half cent of Sales Tax to roads and bridges or a one-time fee of $5 on license plates … creating jobs for those on welfare to perform before dispersing taxpayers’ money, unless totally disabled.” On a personal level, “I’ve had many miracles in my life,” White, a realtor and former small business owner, said. One miracle was her daughter, age 35, waking up from a coma following two strokes resulting in “very little brain wave activity.”
In Town buildings, allow handgun permit-holders to exercise their rights
ders against stalkers/abusers, military/security personnel [as evident in the recent Chattanooga terrorism attack], medical, legal and business professionals in disputes or those who “display” high wealth, CANNOT meagerly transfer their or their family’s safety to just a symbolic sign stating a “gun-free zone” that has no enforcement backing behind the screen printing it is made of. One of the best benchmarks for the Town of Farragut is its neighbor, Loudon County. One of the first things Loudon County Mayor Buddy Bradshaw did a few years ago upon his election was to remove the “no guns” signs in the county building. Mayor Bradshaw, a former law enforcement officer, spoke at a past Farragut Gun Club meeting and told our membership that “gun-free zones” invite only trouble and directly harm law-abiding handgun permit-holders, the “good guys.” No one logically can argue against his judgment and experience. Again, the position of the Farragut Gun Club [and other like-minded community groups] is for the elected representation [BOMA] to act responsibly either by making the proper investments to guarantee the public’s safety upon their property and buildings/Town Hall or just to let the already vetted and law-abiding handgun permit holders legally do what they “probably have been doing already” since 1994. By granting “Lawful Concealed Carry Only” not only saves the Town of Farragut
“For three days in a row at 3 o’clock in the morning, God would wake me up and I would go down on my knees and pray,” she said. Told by doctors that her daughter’s “brain waves had picked up a day or two” before she regained consciousness, White recalled saying, “‘I know, that’s when God came down and He started His healing.’” Ironically, before White announced her candidacy she was a supporter of GOP gubernatorial candidate and state Sen. Mae Beavers. “Mae Beavers is a good woman. I started out to help her. … Mae and I were good friends. I would love to still call her a friend,” White said. However, “There were people in her campaign, they thought I was a bit off the wall because I do talk about God a lot,” White said. White added that Beavers received bad advice. “I told Mae not to do something that she did. I advised her to call someone because she had made a promise. … I said, ‘Keep your word,’” White told the gathering. “The other people said, ‘No, no,
a considerable amount of investment and is the right thing to do, but it also tells the criminals to go somewhere else. On a personal note speaking for myself and NOT the Farragut Gun Club, I have been involved in Second Amendment [2A] advocacy since 1988 in the State of Tennessee and led efforts to bring to fruition “shall issue” Tennessee Handgun Permits in 1994 while pursuing a law enforcement career in college. I have also been involved in the expansion of these rights over the past 23 years in the state and the one thing that anti-2A opponents have always cried, warned and threatened is that there will be “bloodshed flowing in the streets” or some other non-factual but malicious FUD [fear, uncertainty and doubt] statements if a “new” pro-2A law is passed. I can tell you that it has never happened with any of these expansions of personal/family safety laws in Tennessee [or the USA] and never will. I can also inform the readership as a consultant who has a “security/law enforcement/emergency preparedness” practice among others, I can tell you based on my direct research, first-hand experiences and analysis that “gun-free zones” are one of the most dangerous and ill-conceived “newspeak” creations ever implemented by naïve bureaucrats who believe “magic fairy dust barriers” can actually protect lives. These zones only hurt law-abiding citizens as “bad guys” disregard them or literally cannot read the posted signage
this is your time. Jump on it,’” she added. “They were not the kind of people Mae Beavers needed.” Susan Gingrich, sister of former Congressional Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, is an active conservative spokesperson who joined the campaign staff of Beavers Wednesday, Aug 23. She spoke briefly to AFA Aug. 24 without addressing Beavers’ positions on issues. “Somebody sent me an article today that says, ‘The Council on Islamic Relations is demanding that the Confederate statues come down.’ They have a lot of nerve, don’t they?” Gingrich said. By comparison, “In North Africa there were black Muslims involved in slavery and involved in bringing people to this country,” she said. “So I agree with the person who wrote this article: ‘anything Muslim, like their mosques, that’s an affront to slavery.’ Let’s remove all of them,” she added to audience applause. Officials with AFA stressed they do not endorse any GOP gubernatorial primary candidate.

Bonham, 26, is a planner who works closely with Mark Shipley, Community Development director, and Bart Hose, assistant Community Development director. “I’m still trying to learn all the regulations right now,” Bonham said. “It’s a lot of stuff to learn.” Bonham also is a certified arborist and hopes his expertise will help when decisions are being made on which trees to plant, managing existing trees and planning parks and right-of-ways. Bonham said he grew up out in the country in Floyd, Virginia. He earned a degree in environmental studies and geography at Emory & Henry University. He and his wife, Hannah Claytor, a water process analyst for Knoxville Utilities Board, have lived in Knox County for about four years. Bonham also served as a water process analyst for KUB, for more than three years, prior to his new job in Town. “I’ve always been interested in the outdoors,” he said.

[seriously]. “Gun-free zones” are nothing more than “potential future mass killing zones” and serve as a beacon for evildoers and mass murderers during their target selection and planning as evident in post interviews/ investigations with these mass murderers by criminologists. Security professionals often say “gun-free zones” must have the “bite to go along with the bark;” if they do not, they are just merely suggestions. Unfortunately, I have only seen very few “gun-free zones” in my life that can actually live up 100 percent to that designation and those that can, have always had a full-time group of security professionals and/or “warriors” proactively and aggressively backing up such a directive. With this all being said, I, the Farragut Gun Club, and other like-minded community organizations encourage the rest of BOMA to work with Alderman Bob Markli on this very important personal, family and community safety matter in passing “Lawful Concealed Carry Only” for the Town of Farragut in order to legalize what more than likely [we are just guessing] is already happening by handgun permit holders on a regular daily/weekly occurrence. Without proper investment in professional security enforcement, the current Town of Farragut’s “no weapons” signs are worthless in protecting priceless lives.

Customers will find delicate chandeliers, furniture, wall decors and lamps alongside apparel, handbags and jewelry. “We get products from Europe and France, giving customers a unique design,” said McGinnis, owner and president of SnooTy PaTooTie. “And, you get that personal relationship with customers. “We do interior design as well,” she added. McGinnis’s sister, Darlina Brooksbank, is the store’s interior designer. The boutique started carrying Pom Pom Home bedding two years ago. “It’s been a huge success,” McGinnis said. “It’s hard to find nice bedding in Knoxville.” Although the store has been in Aspen Square since 2015, McGinnis said, “I get 10 new people come in a day and tell me they didn’t know I was here. It’s a bestkept secret.” Before going into retail, she was in the corporate world, in procurement management, for 20-plus years before leaving to spend more time with her family. McGinnis took a three-year break then decided to get back in to the world of work. “I just left, not thinking what I was going to do, but I wanted to do something,” she recalled. So, McGinnis opened a boutique in April 2010 in The Shops at Homespun. “Everything happens for a reason,” she said. “[Opening a home décor shop] has been a passion of mine for many, many years.” McGinnis was at The Shops at Homespun for five years, then she decided to move her business to a storefront. “I always wanted a shop but I didn’t know if I wanted the commitment of a See PATOOTIE on Page 6A

Gators have arrived in Farragut. Gator meat, that is … just in time for “Gator Week,” culminating when the Tennessee Volunteers Football team travels to “The Swamp” in Gainesville to play the Florida Gators Saturday afternoon, Sept. 16. Phil Dangel, owner of The Shrimp Dock, which has stores at 11124 Kingston Pike, Farragut, as well as in Bearden and Alcoa, annually specializes in gator meat for UT fans leading up to the Vols-Gators showdown. The Shrimp Dock is involved with Gator Hator Week, presented by Scarecrow Foundation. Gator Hator is a full week of collecting donations
for The Love Kitchen. More than 20 events have been planned for this week ending with Saturday’s big game. In conjunction with that event, The Shrimp Dock is holding Fry the Gator lunch starting at noon, Thursday, Sept. 14, at all three of its locations. “We’re proud to be involved,” Dangel said. “It will be a big lunch day.” Proceeds benefit The Love Kitchen, he added. Dangel said gator meat started coming into The Shrimp Dock about three weeks ago. “We start receiving phone calls early May,” he said. “We’ve held the [same] price on our gator meat now for the last six years.

The whole gators will be smoked on a smoker in front of the Bearden store, Thursday [Sept. 14]. Then, the smoked meat will be cut up. “And, we will have fresh meat [at the Farragut store] starting Saturday,” he added. “We do a tremendous lunch business on gator bites and gator po’boys.” The Shrimp Dock has gator tail meat, gator sausage, gator gumbo and gator bites. “We carry [gator tail meat] all year long, frozen,” he said. “We sell See GATOR WEEK on Page 6A

shop,” she said. ”But, I tell you, the customer feedback, people telling me they love my products, was just the encouragement [I needed] to open my own shop, and I love what I do.” So, in 2014, she moved her business to the historic district of Lenoir City. A year later, she wanted more space so she moved to the Aspen Square location. “I really wanted to be in Farragut,” she said. “Farragut has been a perfect location for me. I love it.” As her business grew, McGinnis expanded the store, doubling her space, in 2016. She said that expansion allowed her to add apparel, accessories and unique jewelry
designs to her product line. “I love the size of the store,” McGinnis said. “You develop relationships with customers. It’s a hands-on atmosphere.” Her love for vintage and architectural design inspired her store’s style, McGinnis said. “We just married vintage with the new and it’s a classic feeling that is unique,” she said. “It’s all about providing that uniqueness. “And, when you look in [catalogues], you won’t find the items [in her store],” McGinnis added. SnooTy PaTooTie is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, and closed Sunday.

a surprising amount of gator during the year. “This week we will have a lot of frozen and a lot of fresh [gator meat]. The sales will continue through Saturday, up until game time, and then on Sunday “after we win,” he added. Dangel has been bringing in gator meat for 10 years. “It’s a day we look forward to,” he said. “We’re always excited when the schedule comes out as to when Florida [is playing UT] because people are in a good mood and are very positive, having won the first two games and assuming they will win on Saturday. We have a very good chance of beating them.” This year, Dangel said he expects to get from 1,500 to 1,600 pounds of the meat between all three stores. “We sell more on home games,” he added. “And, CBS, making it a 3:30 [p.m.] game, compacts Saturday morning [sales]. Although, because of the time of the game, our Saturday business is a little better than normal.” Dangel said he started bringing in gator meat because “people asked, ‘Where can you buy gator?’ “So, we looked into it and developed a relationship with somebody in Louisiana who is actually where we buy our crawfish,” he said. The most frequently asked question Dangel said he receives is, “’‘What does gator meat taste like?’” He answered, “Chicken McNuggets.” The most popular way to cook

the gator is fried, he added. “One of the things people started doing is gator bites. The best way to fry [cut-up gator meat] is in a buttermilk and hot sauce [marinade].” In terms of measurements, he recommended one ounce of hot
sauce for every quart of buttermilk. Dangel also suggested using Zatarain’s Fish Fry, a breadcrumb blend he sells at The Shrimp Dock. For more information about Gator Week, call The Shrimp Dock at 865-777-3625.

Third-graders providing Hurricane relief ■
Northshore Elementary School third-grade teacher Alyssa Hill watches as students Sarah Grace Welden and Jack Cardwell put money in the “Hope for Harvey” container.
CAROLYN EVANS cevans@farragutpress.com
Third-graders in Alyssa Hill’s class at Northshore Elementary School raided their piggy banks and got money from mom and dad, adding to an empty purple Cheetos container labeled “Hope for Harvey.” “I thought that it was a really good idea. I told my mom we’re raising money for Hurricane Harvey [victims],” Jack Cardwell, one of Hill’s students, said. “She thought it was a really good idea, too. I had $2, four quarters and a penny.” Was it everything in his piggy bank? “Almost,” he said. “My mom knew about it because she works here,” classmate Sarah Grace Welden said. “I thought that it was a really good idea for those people who might be a little homeless over there or anything, and that it would be a really good idea to do that for people. I haven’t given money yet, but I will. I’ll probably give at least $5. I’ll get the money from my mom, but I’ll pay her back from my piggy bank.” “We talked in class about how those kids weren’t getting to go to school because their classrooms were flooded,” Hill said. She should know: Hill was born and raised in Houston. Kingwood High School, in her family’s Houston neighborhood, was flooded. “We did it last year for the [Sevier County] fires and our school raised almost $4,000 for the [American] Red Cross and Dollywood Foundation,” she said. Her students have been gathering money for American Red Cross’s See RELIEF on Page 5B

FHS theater bringing vastly different productions to stage this fall ■ CAROLYN EVANS
cevans@farragutpress.com
This fall two very different theatrical productions will make audiences smile — and maybe even think a little. At the end of August, Molly Deakins, senior, stood at the top
of the Ferguson Theater in the red wing of Farragut High School. She shouted directions down to cast members as they rehearsed for the September musical, “Theory of Relativity.” As they sang musical director Kyla Johnson, also a senior, helped her peers. Deakins, daughter of Thomas
and Kim Deakins, and Johnson, daughter of Kevin and Marisa Johnson, are directing the musical as a sort of senior project, although they won’t be earning any school credit. Seated on a riser to the side were theater teacher Lea McMahan and Kim Deakins, faculty
advisor, FHS employee and Molly’s mother. They are hands-off, though: this musical is completely student-run. “This musical was serendipitous for me and Kyla,” Molly Deakins said. “We found it at the right time after shuffling through over 30 different musicals, and it
seemed to be a perfect fit for our department.” The musical uses songs of different styles to tell the story. “Some musical challenges have been overcoming difficult harmonies with so many voice parts and See THEATER on Page 3B

Looking for a way to motivate teenagers about having a positive outlook, a Farragut State Farm insurance agent has lined up a nationally known motivational speaker who will make the rounds at Farragut High School and Hardin Valley Academy. Through the efforts of agent Josh Hemphill, Bobby Petrocelli will hold three speaking sessions with FHS students during the school day Tuesday, Sept. 19. Pet-
rocelli then visits HVA Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 20, among a seven high school-speaking schedule in Knox County Sept 18-21. Saying he is concerned about the troubles teenagers face as they progress into adulthood, especially in light of the highly publicized deaths of three FHS students during spring 2016 semester, “I just felt like I needed to do something,” said Hemphill, owner of Josh Hemphill State Farm, 11420 Kingston Pike. “So I reached out See SPEAKER on Page 4B

Pooch Plunge presented by K-9 Center of East Tennessee kicks off Dog Daze event this weekend, Sept. 15-17. It takes place in Village Green shopping center parking lot in front of Ricki’s Pet Depot and Stein Mart in Farragut. This is an opportunity for dog owners, regardless of size or breed, to enjoy seeing their dogs jump off a diving board and into 4 feet of water. Participants’ dogs will get to jump on a first-come-first-served basis, with jumps beginning at 4 p.m., Friday, Sept. 15. Though scheduled to end at 7 p.m., “It might go longer” based on the anticipated number of jumping dogs, said Stephen Krempasky, executive director of Shop Farragut/ Farragut Business Alliance. “A lot of people want to see if their dog will do it. “We’re trying to encourage those who haven’t done it before,” he added. Event is free of charge, and no pre-registration is required, Krempasky said. The doggie diving board “looks
to be about 16 to 18 inches” above the surface of the water, Krempasky said. Those bringing more than one dog only will be allowed to have one dog jump at a time “to give everybody a chance. If you have multiple animals you’ll have to get back in line” for each dog, Krempasky said. With Pooch Plunge and the weekend dog-jumping competition coordinated by Smoky Mountain Dock Dogs club, Friday’s local pet event will take place rain or shine — unless delayed by thunderstorms and lightning according to Krempasky. Vendors will be on hand to sell snacks and various refreshments. A large tent will be set up, under which will be scores of tables and chairs. “There’ll be plenty of parking on
the far side of Village Green [shopping center] parking lot,” Krempasky said. “The first 500 to the whole event will receive a Dog Park towel from PetSafe,” he added. Dog Daze dog-jumping competition also can be viewed free of charge and takes place at the same location from 10 a.m. to early evening Saturday, Sept. 16, and from noon to late afternoon, Sunday, Sept. 17. In addition to vendors, “Costco has given us two 85-inch televisions, so we’ll have one on each end of the tent,” Krempasky said about those attending in late afternoon and early evening Saturday who also want to follow the Tennessee Volunteers’ football game versus Florida on CBS.

teaching it all on a keyboard,” Johnson said. “It’s been surprisingly easy with all the different styles because we have an extremely talented cast, but I’ve tried to tie in my choir and musical theater experience to get the sound I think works best for each song.” “The human story drew me to this show,” Molly Deakins said. “Often musicals are a big production that is hard to connect to, but this show has such a unique storyline and it’s a story everyone can relate to.” “I’ve had to sit in on a few rehearsals as a faculty advisor,” Kim Deakins said. “Every single rehearsal, I’m just amazed at how much I like it. These kids are so talented and the music is so inspirational and real. I’ve gotten chills every time. It’s a newer musical. It’s more storytelling from different people’s perspectives instead of one continuous perspective. Certain actors play multiple parts. It’s kind of a finding yourself [story] about what different people struggle with. I’m really proud of those kids.” Including directors, stage managers and costume people, about 22 students are involved. “Theory of Relativity” will be performed starting at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 21, and Saturday, Sept. 23, and beginning at 3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 24. Tickets are $8 at the door of Ferguson Theater. At the same time, theater teacher Lea McMahan is rehearsing with another group of students for the October performance of “ONLINE FIGHTING,” a play by Harrison Young. Young is a theater graduate from The University of Tennessee who lived in New York for a few years before coming back in Tennessee. “It’s an action-comedy about two video gamers rekindling a feud,” Harrison said. “What starts off as fun-and-games online quickly becomes a battle of jealousy and redemption offline, especially when loved ones get involved.

The fighting scenes have been super fun to perform and watch,” actor Hannah Varner said. “I couldn’t be more excited to get to perform and work through this play. “I met Lea through ONLINE FIGHTING,” Young said. “She had seen a few of its past Knoxville productions, including its latest one at Gibbs High School from April this year. GHS’s play director and super-friend Crystal Braeuner introduced us, and the rest went exactly the way I wish more play submissions went. Lea’s going to be a great leader for this 10th production of ONLINE FIGHTING and her students seem real excited too, so I can’t wait for opening night.” Young said he wanted to do a show that revolved around fighting. “I mean fights-on-fights-onfights, a real showcase for people who wanted to look like they could whoop somebody,” he said. “I focused my stage combat goals around that classic some-
times-true writing rule: write about what you know,” Young added. “I chose video games as my theme since the fighting genre is popular — think Street Fighter or Super Smash Brothers — and suddenly I had a lot of room to create one-of-a-kind fights for an audience.

A: Yes, you heard correctly. Unfortunately, obesity has become an epidemic in America. For our pets, obesity is medically defined as being more than 20 percent more than the ideal weight. It is estimated that between 30-40 percent of all pets fall into this category. Our pets can and do develop secondary Stephanie medical probMyers lems due to Ask obesity, such the Vet as heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. In cats, obesity can lead to a severe, even fatal, liver condition called hepatic lipidosis. One recent study by Purina followed 48 Labrador Retrievers for 14 years. Dogs fed a calorie-restricted

diet lived almost two years longer and had fewer chronic diseases as compared to dogs allowed to freefeed. In the veterinary community, it is often said that if you think your dog or cat is overweight, he/she probably is. Because of the great differences in sizes and breeds of dogs, we use some generalities to gauge ideal weight [instead of the BMI scale]. If you stand behind your pet, you should be able to see a waist. You should be able to feel his/her ribs easily, but they should not be visible. Neither dogs nor cats should have a rounded or enlarged abdomen. Obesity in our pets is occurring from multiple reasons. Our pets are sedentary, with more and more pets being kept indoors and thus exercising less. Some pet owners mistakenly believe that love equals food, so we give extra snacks and overfeed them to pamper them. There can be medical reasons, such as hypothyroidism, that can cause pets to gain weight. Most of the time, it’s quite simple – our See ASK VET on Page 4B

pets are consuming more calories than they burn. If you think your pet is overweight or obese, see your veterinarian to rule out medical problems. Your veterinarian can also help you set a target weight for your pet and plan a safe diet and exercise program for him/her. As we have all heard before, less calories and more exercise are ultimately necessary for weight loss. A healthy pet is a happy pet. It will take time and effort to help your pet become healthy and stay healthy. Your pet may beg for more food, so please remember that giving into those demands will only reinforce that behavior. Distract them by engaging in more play behavior. Provide healthy, low-calorie snacks such as small bites of lean meat or vegetables. Exercise with your pet several times a week and more if possible — it’s great bonding time with your pet that you will both enjoy. If you have questions about your pet, you may e-mail Dr. Myers at lenoircityac@gmail.com

‘Sweet 16th’ is revenge blowout; Jeff Co. next Farragut back to Region 1-6A, hits road vs. 3-1 Pats
■
Admirals blister Oak Ridge 41-0
■
KEN LAY Correspondent
When Farragut High School’s football team returns to action Friday night, it will put its perfect 4-0 record and its 16-game winning streak on the line against Jefferson County in Dandridge. Admirals head coach Eddie Courtney said the Patriots will present a tough challenge for his team Friday evening, Sept. 15. “They’re a 3-1 football team and they’ve grown up a lot and they’ve gotten better each week,” Courtney said of the Patriots [0-1 in Region 1-6A]. “They beat Carter [last] week and they had a [23-0] loss to Bearden. “But they were very much in that game. They opened against Sevier County and they won 6-3 and they’ve grown a lot and gotten a lot better since then. Their kids are starting to understand what coach [Spencer] Riley wants them to do.” Jefferson County runs a double-slot veer offense, while Patriots quarterback Nathan Seal has emerged as an undisputed team leader on offense. “They’re well-coached and their quarterback does a good job running their offense,” Courtney said. “But the biggest place where they’ve really improved is on defense. “This will be another tough game for us. It’s the next one up. And it’s a region game. So it’s a really important game for us.” The Patriots and Admirals have met 10 times and both teams have won five games in the all-time series. Farragut has won the last three games between the two schools. They last played in the 2007 playoffs where the Admirals nabbed a 43-14 victory. Farragut also won in 1999 (21-14) and 2000 (42-2). The Admirals (4-0, 1-0) enter Friday night’s road game in Dan-

Hawks win, head to M-West KEN LAY Correspondent
Hardin Valley Academy’s football team got off to a sluggish start and lost its first two games of the 2017 football season. But the Hawks have rebounded to win their last two games. After tough losses to Oak Ridge and West High, HVA has posted consecutive wins over Heritage [44-26] and Central [26-7]. The Hawks [2-2 overall] look to continue their winning ways when they head to Hamblen County to take on Morristown West Friday evening, Sept. 15. It will be the Region 1-6A opener for Hardin Valley and the first-ever meeting between the Hawks and the Trojans [1-2 overall, 0-1 in the region]. “This is a very important game for us because it’s a region game for us,” HVA head coach Wes Jones
For two weeks Farragut High School wide receiver Braden Collins was sidelined while nursing an ankle injury, but he made an impact upon returning to the lineup Friday night, “I worked hard rehabbing for the last couple of weeks and tonight, I just wanted to come back,” said Collins, who had nine receptions and caught a touchdown pass in the Admirals’ 41-0 victory over Oak Ridge at Bill Clabo Field. “I wanted to get back out there and help my team and that’s what I did.” Collins, who had 166 receiving yards against the Wildcats (2-2), was one of several players to contribute for Farragut, which improved to 4-0 and won its 16th consecutive game. “The thing that I’m proudest of is that we played together,” Admirals head coach Eddie Courtney said after watching his squad shut out Oak Ridge, which was the last team to notch a win over FHS early during the 2016 campaign. “We were unselfish and everybody contributed.” The Wildcats moved the ball on their first possession but things came to a halt when Oak Ridge quarterback Johnny Stewart fumbled and Farragut’s Alex Williams recovered with 8 minutes, 56 seconds remaining in the first quarter. The Ads, however, went threeand-out after the fumble. But they would score a couple of minutes later. Farragut took a 7-0 lead with 4:54 to play in the frame when Kyle Carter scored on a 19-yard scamper. The Admirals would extend their advantage to 14-0 when Gavin Wilkinson connected with Collins on a 7-yard scoring strike with 15.2 seconds remaining in the second stanza.

said. “It’s our first one. “They’ve had a week off to get ready for us because they [had an] open [date] last week.” Jones Jones isn’t taking Morristown West lightly, despite its 1-2 record. “They’re a very good football team and they’ve played some good people,” Jones said. “We had film on them against Farragut and Greeneville and those are two pretty good teams. They played Morristown East and beat them during the first week.” Under head coach Alvin Sanders, the Trojans have lost two straight games. They were routed by the
Greene Devils and the Admirals before taking off last week. Morristown West beat Morristown East 42-20 in the annual showdown for Hamblen County bragging rights. That was the first game as head coach for Sanders, who replaced Lamar Brown, who now coaches at Knoxville West and has the Runnin’ Rebels off to a 3-1 start. Winning streaks are fine for the Hawks, but Jones isn’t worried about those. “For us, it’s not about winning streaks,” he said. “We have to worry about Hardin Valley and we have to execute better. “The effort has been there and our kids have played hard all year. We’ve executed better but we’re still not executing like we want to. If we had executed like I think we can, like I know we can, we’d be unSee HAWKS on Page 11B

dridge after a dominating victory. FHS knocked off longtime rival Oak Ridge 41-0 last week at Bill Clabo Field. That game marked the first time the Wildcats were shut out in nearly a quarter-century. Riverdale blanked Oak Ridge in the 1993 playoffs. Oak Ridge was the last team to defeat the Admirals. That was in 2016 at Blankenship Field. The Ads had a late comeback bid come up just short in a 30-25 loss over Labor Day weekend. Farragut hasn’t lost since and it has found a formula for success, which was put on display last week. “We were unselfish and everybody contributed,” Courtney said after his team’s latest victory. “That’s what I was proudest of.” Senior wide receiver Braden Collins, who suffered an ankle injury in Farragut’s seasonopening victory at Bradley Central, returned for FHS last week. He had nine receptions [including a touchdown] and amassed 166 yards. Collins certainly impressed Oak Ridge head coach Joe Gaddis Friday night. “He’s a great player. There’s no doubt about that,” Gaddis said. “He’s a great addition for them.” Farragut sparked defensively as it forced two fumbles. Linebacker Devin Yarborough also had a 71-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Lady Admirals make good use of 2nd-half shots, beat HVA 4-2
■
KEN LAY Correspondent
After getting off to a sluggish start, Farragut High School’s girls soccer team has won four consecutive games. The Lady Admirals notched their latest victory in their home opener against rival Hardin Valley Academy Thursday, Sept. 7. FHS scored three unanswered goals and nabbed a 4-2 victory over the Lady Hawks at Farragut Soccer Stadium. It was the first home victory for new head coach Drew Payne. The Lady Admirals [4-5 overall, 2-0 in District 4-AAA entering the week] have won four games after losing their first five games of the season. Farragut scored first against HVA [3-4, 1-1] when senior Elise Stepp tallied in the 21st minute. The Lady Hawks then took control for a time. Sophomore defender Karly Livingston tied the game when she scored in the 31st minute.
HVA took a 2-1 lead on a goal by Gwen Breslin, one of Knox County’s top scorers. But the Lady Hawks’ joy was short-lived as Farragut would knot the game at 2-2 on a marker by Emily Guigou in the 39th minute. Lady Hawks head coach Nick Bradford couldn’t fault his squad’s effort, but noted the game-tying goal by Guigou was tough to take. “Our effort was there,” Bradford said. “Our kids played hard but it was really disappointing for us to give up that goal and let them tie it up right before halftime. “Our girls played really hard but we had some lapses in positional awareness at times, and I really felt like Farragut was the better team tonight,” he added. The Lady Ads were definitely the better side in the second half — at least according to the scoreboard. FHS had just three shots that landed on target after halftime, but two of those landed in the back of

the Hardin Valley net. Guigou gave the Lady Admirals a 3-2 advantage when she scored her second goal of the match in the 63rd minute. Lady Hawks goalkeeper Taylor Mauch stopped Guigou’s first scoring chance. The ball, however, bounced off Mauch’s fingertips and a waiting Guigou promptly banged
it into the back of the net. Guigou said the win over HVA was huge. “I couldn’t have scored those goals without my teammates and this was a big win for us,” she said. “We started out kind of rough but we’ve pulled it together. “We just came back in here and decided that we wanted to play to-
gether as a team.” Conversely, Breslin said, “This just wasn’t a very good game for us. Overall, it was a bad game but it’s just another chance for us to improve.” Eryn Hill’s insurance goal in the 66th minute provided the final margin.

Blowout From page 7B
its most dominant wins in recent memory, the Wildcats, which suffered the program’s first shutout since the 1993 playoffs, were plagued by self-inflicted damage. They had two turnovers deep in Farragut territory. They also had several dropped passes, including a sure touchdown. “We were our own worst enemy tonight,” Oak Ridge head coach Joe Gaddis said. “We had two turnovers inside their 15yard line, including the one that we had on that first series. “Then we dropped a touchdown pass and we missed on another one. When you do those things against a good football team, it’s not a good combination,” he added. “That’s four scores that we could’ve and should’ve had. “If we just kick a field goal on those, the game might’ve looked
a little different.” The Admirals scored on their first possession of the second half. Farragut’s defense forced a fumble and Caleb Kuhn recovered deep in FHS territory. The Ads would score four plays later to make it 21-0 on a 1-yard plunge by Isaiah Gibbs. The touchdown was set up by a 70-yard reception by Collins that put the ball on Oak Ridge’s 1-yard line. Carter scored his second TD of the game on a 7-yard run late in the third quarter. Farragut’s defense joined the scoring parade early in the final frame when senior linebacker Devin Yarborough returned an interception 71 yards for a touchdown to make the score 35-0. The Admirals capped the victory when Jake Evans threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Alec Keathley with 1:01 left in the game.

defeated right now,” he added. HVA has one of the area’s top running backs in senior Aaron Dykes. He had 192 yards and three touchdowns last week against the
Bobcats [1-3]. Defensively, junior Luke DeFur had 16 tackles and a sack against Central. Key players for the Trojans include: Zach Young [a junior quarterback who has been pressed into service since starter John Fore-
back was injured against the Hurricanes]; Juan Villasenor [a kicker, who has been solid this season]; Jadon Payne [a junior running back]; Colton Misenheimer [a senior wide receiver]and Brian Stewart [a junior wide receiver]. Jones said Young changes Morristown West’s offense. “He can throw and he can run,” Jones said. “He brings a different dynamic to their offense. “I don’t think they will have their starter back but we have to prepare for both of them.”
HVA 26 CENTRAL 7 The Hawks overcame an interception by Bobcats defensive lineman Jalynn Clemons, on the first HVA offensive series, setting up Central’s only points. Dykes had a 54-yard scoring run where he broke two tackles, then reversed direction on a right diagonal trek to the end zone, which put the Hawks ahead for good 13-7 late in the second quarter. He also scored on runs of 6 and 3 yards. “He had a fantastic night running the football,” Jones said.
Rock Hardin, HVA junior running back/linebacker who assumed a big second-half rushing role, scored from 4 yards out late. Junior Josiah Lambert, Hawks kicker, converted two extra points. Led by DeFur, “I think our defense played well,” Jones said. With Central forced to play its third-string quarterback, a freshman, “We knew pretty much that they weren’t going over top on us, so we could really tee off on their run game and their short passing game,” Jones said.

Ads, Dawgs, Hawks battle for the top spot; Irish begin to roll That final score of 41-0 makes you wonder: was Farragut that upset about Oak Ridge spoiling an otherwise perfect 2016 Admirals season? With that surprisingly easy victory last Friday evening at Bill Clabo Field, while handing the Wildcats their first shutout in almost a quarter century, Farragut improves it record to 4-0 and its consecutive win streak to 16 [Last lost, remember, was at Blankenship Field versus those same Wildcats last season, 30-25]. The Admirals also remain the only unbeaten in farragutpress How the West Was Won presented by PureMagic Carwash contest for best regular season record [90 net points]. But the maroon-clad Bulldogs are hanging close, as Bearden’s 2714 win at South-Doyle leaves BHS in second place at 3-1 with 45 net points. Hardin Valley Academy improves to 2-2, securing third place versus Knoxville Catholic thanks to a 33to-6 edge in net points, after its 26-7 home win against Knoxville Central.
The Irish had yet another impressive performance outside of Knox County, this time traveling to previously unbeaten and Class 6A state-ranked Cleveland — not only winning, but crushing the Blue Raiders 33-7. The way Steve Matthews’ team has played in weeks 1, 2 and 4, that bunch from Georgia must be a special team for what it did in Blaine Stadium in week 3. Thanks to playing its second consecutive Division II-AAA opponent, Webb falls to 1-2. The Spartans, a smaller Division II-AA school, hit the road and fell hard to McCallie in Chattanooga 49-22. Dave Meske’s team plays only nine regular season games, so in the HWWW PureMagic contest every Webb win is especially important. Still looking for its first varsity win in school history while in year three of that quest, Concord Christian School lost 50-8 versus Middle Tennessee Christian School at CAK last Friday. Lots of young Lions players are learning to growl louder, perhaps, thanks to the experience they’re

Junior Caleb Kuhn, Farragut linebacker, makes this tackle on an Oak Ridge ballcarrier despite a Wildcats teammate trying to block Kuhn. The Admirals won in a blowout, 41-0, at FHS’s Bill Clabo Field Friday evening, Sept. 8, avenging last season’s only loss while improving to 4-0. Oak Ridge fell to 2-2.
gaining despite the lopsided outcomes. Troy Fleming’s team needs a few more players on his roster — and a few more players with size.
And then there’s CAK. Go figure the Warriors: not only with an 0-4 record, but this once powerhouse program is losing one-sided games
each week. There’s still six weeks for head coach Travis Mozingo to figure things out.
