Startling statistics revealed at FHS mental health meeting ■
CAROLYN EVANS cevans@farragutpress.com
The statistics are startling: with the average high school class in Knox County roughly 30 students, six or more of those students meet clinical symptoms of depression and other conditions. Four students have contemplated suicide. Three have planned it, and 2.6 students have attempted it. At the Thursday, Sept. 14, parent meeting
titled “Typical or Troubled: Know the Difference, Make a Difference,” in Farragut High School’s Vickie B. Wells Auditorium, Ben Harrington, with the Mental Health Association of East Tennessee, shared information with an audience of about 40. The meeting was sponsored by FHS PTSO. “I can tell you this is something that’s so important,” said FHS principal Ryan Siebe, who opened the meeting. “I’ve never been any place where people take caring for students more im-
portantly than they do here … I want to thank Lori Moczadlo, PTSO president,” he said. Harrington’s talk was engaging and quickmoving, covering topics from brain development to stressors to warning signs parents should be aware of, including being sad or hopeless, earning bad grades and being easily angered. “This year we’ll be in over 100 schools, including every Knox County middle and high school,” he said. “We’re going to teach students what to recognize and what’s observable
in their peers and then have the tools to turn to a trusted adult.” “After everything that happened last year with the three suicides, we felt it was really important to provide some education for parents,” Moczadlo said the week before. “This seminar will provide a lot of good information to parents helping them decipher between what is normal in a teenager and what kind of See FHS MEETING on Page 2A

Pooches take the plunge Billy, a border collie, takes the bait from his owner, Pat Wilkins, and jumps into the 4-foot deep pool during Pooch Plunge presented by K-9 Center of East Tennessee Friday afternoon, Sept. 15, in Village Green shopping center parking lot in front of Ricki’s Pet Depot and Stein Mart. Scores of Dogs representing various breeds came from Farragut, Knoxville, East Tennessee and as far away as West Tennessee and North Carolina and West Tennessee. Coordinated by Smoky Mountain Dock Dogs Club and Shop Farragut, Pooch Plunge primarily was for dogs that had never jumped off a 3-foot ledge and into a pool of water.

Proposed condo development for Grigsby Chapel discussed ■ CAROLYN EVANS
cevans@farragutpress.com
Two residents living along Grigsby Chapel Road made a point of being at the Sept. 5 Town of Farragut Staff/Developer meeting in Town Hall to express their concern about the traffic and how a new 83-unit condominium development could add to the current traffic problem. The meeting also included discussion about the next phase of
Bridgemore subdivision and drawing inspiration for a town center from other area developments, including Northshore Town Center, South Knoxville, Sequoyah Hills and the Avalon development in Atlanta. Residents Peg Kennedy and Mul Wyman were there to voice their frustration about adding to the already heavy traffic on Grigsby Chapel. See CONDO on Page 4A
Travis Fuller, applicant for a new condominium development, brought plans to the Tuesday, Sept. 5 Town of Farragut Staff/Developer meeting in Town Hall. Grigsby Park is an 83-unit condo development proposed for the 24.8 acres between Chapel Point Subdivision and Westside Unitarian Universalist Church. Carolyn Evans

Meet gubernatorial candidate Bill Lee Sept. 26 at FBC ■
The candidates will be brought in one at a time, beginning with Lee, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 26, in the Gathering Space, just inside the front doors. “April 24 of this year, we — my wife, Maria, and I — made the announcement,” Lee said. “I say ‘we’ because it’s a team effort.” About his reasons for running, Lee said, “No matter what area you’re in in Tennessee, whether you’re in Farragut, whether you’re in urban Memphis, whether you’re in rural Unicoi County, people want a good job, a good school for their kid and a safe neighborhood … That’s what my focus would be,” he said. “My wife and I bought an old RV and went to 95 counties in 95 days.

ment to financial independence,” he said. No. 2 “is to really utilize innovation and technology in a more powerful way. “The third is addressing the opioid crisis with everything we have,” he added. “The state data shows there were over 1,000 overdose deaths in the state last year and there were over 1,000 babies born addicted to opioids, which costs $60,000 to treat an opioid-addicted infant — besides the fact that if affects their life forever. ...” “The fourth component is what we’re calling ‘Faith, Family and Community.’ It is reminding ourselves of the things that made us great and engaging ourselves in that conversation. There’s an existing faith-based, nonprofit community that can be utilized for much of what we need to do.” The next scheduled speaker at FBC is Harwell, Tuesday, Oct. 24.
police reports • At 11:57 a.m., Monday, Sept. 11, a Lanesborough Way complainant arrived at home to find the rear door had been forced open, causing damage listed at $250. The victim said the home is being remodeled and they have numerous tools and building supplies on the property. After discovering the damage to the rear door, the victim inspected the rest of the property and found that a Ryobi saw had been taken, with a listed value of $120. The victim had recently purchased the saw and had the identifying serial numbers available. The victim did not have any suspect information at the time of report. • At 10:51 a.m., Monday, Sept. 11, a Knox County Sheriff’s Office unit responded to an Anchorage Circle address. The victim said she was upset due to her son, the suspect, recently stealing her rings and watches with an estimated value of $20,000. The victim
was only able to describe the stolen jewelry as rings and watches. The victim also refused medical treatment. • At 5:57 a.m., Friday, Sept. 8, 2017, a KCSO unit responded to Turkey Creek Medical Center due to a patient walking out of the hospital after being admitted for a mental evaluation.

things are not so normal that might be red flags. If they see those red flags, then hopefully they’ll get their children help and we won’t have the situation that we had last year.” “We don’t want you to diagnose a soul,” Harrington said. “We want you to notice changes in your child … The teenage years are tough.” “I attended the event both as a parent and a mental health provider,” Tanya Wellman said. “I am a licensed professional counselor at the Goodman Center here in Farragut, and I also have a daughter who is a junior at FHS and a daughter who just graduated and is a freshman at UT. I thought the event was a fabulous way to both educate and give resources. I talked to many of the parents afterward about the logistics of getting help — how to call the insurance companies, what questions to ask the counselors, and other resources
available, such as group counseling. I appreciate the PTSO for organizing this event and hope it’s just the beginning of a dialogue about mental health for students and parents.” “I thought it was a wonderful forum and think the community as a whole would benefit from the information shared last night,” parent Heather Benson said. “The concern and caring of our students was evident in the speakers, the FHS administration and the parents and community members who attended. The same can be said of the mental health professionals who were there to answer questions even though it was after hours and was surely time they could have been spending with their own families. I wished more folks from the community, parents and neighbors alike, would have taken advantage of the opportunity to learn more about how to recognize the signs of mental health issues before it is too late to seek intervention and help.”

Could Concord Road eventually see a shopping area? ■
CAROLYN EVANS cevans@farragutpress.com
One of the two heirs of Callaway’s Landing, the pre-Civil War farm near the Concord/Northshore roundabout, was at Town of Farragut Staff/Developer meeting Tuesday morning, Sept. 5. Sarah Mailen and her husband, John Mailen, were there to ask for a curb cut. The Mailens, who live off Northshore about five to 10 minutes from the property, said they would eventually like to develop the property by putting in some stores or offices. Sarah Mailen inherited the Callaway’s Landing property along with her sister, Anne Ralston. Part of what Mailen owns is 4.8 acres along Concord Road between Loop Road and Second Avenue. The couple came to the meeting to ask Town staff to help them get a curb cut into their property while Tennessee Department of Transportation is widen-

ing in Newport, Rhode Island. “That’s kind of one of the first hurdles,” he said. “If you are accepted, you initially come in and you are given the rank of an officer and it is all conditional on one, getting through the officers’ training course and two, updating and maintaining your certification in your area of expertise.” Another hurdle was making sure he was fit for duty. Galdun said he was concerned about whether or not he could physically cut being in the Navy. “Twice yearly, the Navy has what they call PRTs, or physical readiness tests,” he said, adding candidates also have to pass a body composition analysis. He did not pass the initial physical readiness test because of a previous medical condition, but eventually was approved. Being a lifelong exercise enthusiast helped. Galdun also had the support of his wife, Annette, and grown children, Claire, Patrick and Emily Galdun. The Galduns have no grandchildren.
ing Concord Road. “We thought it was a great idea,” Sarah Mailen said. “While they’re out there it really wouldn’t cost them anything to build an access.” “What about the historic area?” Mark Shipley, Community Development director, asked. “To ask for the curb cut from TDOT, we had to supply a conceptual plan,” John Mailen said in the hallway after they left the meeting. “The main goal is just to get a curb cut because, really, it’s a lot easier to do it now.” “We want to have a cut right in the center of the property so we can get in and out on Concord Road,” Sarah Mailen said. “I’ve wanted this for a long time … I know that things will change in the next three years when they finish building out the road and then we’ll see where we’re at then, what’s appropriate and what isn’t. But today, right now, John and I just want a curb cut “They were surprised but they were very proud,” Annette said, referring to their children. “I think it’s good for the aging population to embark on such an experience at our age,” Galdun said. “Plus, [Annette] if she had not been a rock, I could not do it.” Galdun has been training on his drill weekends at the Naval Operations Support Center along Alcoa Highway, right across from The University of Tennessee Medical Center. “Even though I’ve been in for a little less than a year, my route has been a little bit circuitous in that, initially, I was attached to what’s called an OHSU, or an Operational Health Support Unit, which is a hospital based out of Camp Lejeune, [North Carolina],” he said. “Since then, I’ve been moved to a Marine detachment, which is based out of Camp Pendleton, California. It’s the 4th Medical Battalion, Surgery Company Alpha.” As far as practicing medicine in the field, he already has experience: Galdun practiced emergency medicine before going into anesthesiology, he said.
and I think the Town of Farragut agrees.” “It will just be a right-in, rightout,” John Mailen said. “We drive down Concord Road all the time,” Sarah Mailen said. “The farm is where I grew up. This is something I inherited. We really just want a curb cut to turn into our property, basically a driveway … at Second Drive and Concord Road.” What will happen to Callaway’s Landing? “We don’t know,” Sarah Mailen said. “Ann has certain pieces of the farm and I have certain pieces.” What will happen with the old gas station across from Callaway’s Landing? “That’s neither here nor there,” Sarah Mailen said. “When the road is widened, we’ll all be able to see what’s left … that’s going to take about three years.” See SHOPPING on Page 4A

letters to the editor
Response to an Aug. 24 letter to the editor
I hate to see erroneous information go unchallenged, so I feel compelled to respond to the incorrect assertions and distortions in the Letters to the Editor in the Thursday, Aug. 24 edition of the farragutpress by Ms. Plawchan [The new female chair of the Fifth District Democrats] and Mr. Battistelli [who is not a resident of Farragut]. As one who has followed closely and with great interest the Concealed Carry Permit movement across the nation over the last 30 some years I can tell you that the overwhelming preponderance of actual, hard statistical data gathered by government agencies over that period conclusively and inarguably demonstrates a reduction in violent crime, and particularly firearms-related crimes, in states where these laws have been enacted. This is directly the reverse of Ms. Plawchan’s claim, which she bases solely on a widely discredited, unpublished and un-reviewed 2017 Stanford University [Northern California] “study.” This “study,” which wouldn’t pass the laugh test for most people, draws its conclusions from self-described “synthetic
data” contrived by its author, Dr. John J. Donohue, which purports to refute the actual data compiled for decades by reputable sources such as the U.S. Department of Justice Statistics, the F.B.I., B.A.T.F.E, etc. There is a reason that over two-thirds of published, peer-reviewed studies find that right-to-carry laws reduce violent crime rates in the U.S. [crimeresearch.org/2014/11/ do-right-to-carry-laws-reduceviolent-crime/] No other study by an economist, criminologist or law professor has claimed that US violent crime rose after rightto-carry laws were adopted. This type of propaganda is routinely circulated by known purveyors of virulently biased information such as anti-gun zealot organizations funded by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, George Soros, etc. posing as grassroots local organizations. So it is necessary to carefully fact check. It is no accident that the state legislatures in nearly all 50 states recognizing the undeniable benefits to public safety of licensed concealed carry have enacted “shall issue” legislation with universally beneficent results. With
16 million permit holders across 50 states, it is telling that not one state has ever held a legislative hearing to consider rescinding right-to-carry laws. Further, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld and supported them. And surveys of police show that over 90 percent of officers consistently support such laws. Really now, would this have happened if there was any increase in crime where these laws are enacted? For those invested in reality, the readily verifiable facts are: 1. Since the initiation of rightto-carry laws and the accompanying unprecedented proliferation of firearms ownership, gun-related crime is down dramatically. In fact, a recently completed study by the government’s own Bureau of Justice Statistics found that between 1993 and 2016 gun homicides dropped a stunning 49 percent and non-fatal gun crimes dropped by 70 percent. 2. As a demographic group, licensed carry permit holders are the most law-abiding group in the nation and are over 100 times less likely to be involved in a gun-related crime than the average citizen. In fact, the statistics show that you are 6 times more
likely to be wrongly shot by police than by a carry permit holder. 3. Most mass murders, including the headline-grabbing recent horrific crimes in Newtown, Aurora, San Bernardino and Orlando, occurred in just the sort of pretend “gun-free” zones-of-opportunity that these well-meaning-butmisguided folks seek to inflict on our citizens. 4. Firearms are used over two million times each year in the United States by individual citizens in self-defense to deter crimes, often without ever a shot being fired. 5. A March 2013 survey of 400,000 law enforcement officers nationwide with over 15,000 respondents showed that: more than 76 percent indicated that legally armed citizens are important to reducing crime. Eighty percent believe legally armed citizens can reduce casualties in incidents of mass violence. More than 91 percent stated they supported the right to carry by lawabiding Americans. So, let me clarify my simple request. After collaboration with my constituents and much thought and study on the matter, and noticing the changed signage
on the doors of Farragut Town Hall prohibiting firearms, I think it would be satisfactory to simply add the words beneath the existing signage “Concealed carry by licensed Handgun Carry Permit holders excepted” or “Lawful Concealed Carry Only.” I agree with most of the correspondents that people find the sight of a firearm in a public area alarming and unnecessarily provocative except in the possession of a uniformed peace officer and I am in no way advocating for “open carry.” Just because drunks are not allowed to drive on the highway does not mean that I should not be allowed to have an airbag or wear my seatbelt. Our Constitution guarantees us the right to protect our own life and liberty in whatever way we feel most effective. If the Town is unwilling to invest in the necessary security options to assure your safety, that does not mean that you should be willing to surrender those rights when you enter Town property.

comment because you really need to go back to the drawing board … [the development] needs to work well with the land.” Fuller said developers are having a geotechnical study done to determine if the depressions are sinkholes. Shipley asked when paperwork could be in order, then said, “You probably at the earliest would be shooting for the October planning commission [meeting].” About the traffic problem, Shipley said, “Pretty much anything that happens on that property will add something.” “What’s the policy on alternative access connections?” asked Wyman, a Wyndham Hall resident. “From my perspective as a planner, the more connectivity the better,” Shipley said. “On Fretz Road I’ve watched people sit there 10 minutes trying to get out,” Kennedy said. “I don’t know how you feel about it, Darryl,” Wyman said addressing Town engineer Darryl Smith, “but we’re over here in Wyndham Hall. In the morning, noon and evening
peak times, it’s really tough. A school bus comes by at 7:10 [a.m.] and parents park their cars on either side. It’s really dangerous. “Grigsby Chapel really functions in two ways. It functions as an arterial for the cut-through traffic, but it also functions as a collector,” he added. “There’s only one way in and one way out and that’s because the policy has been up until recently that that’s OK. It’s the cumulative effect.” “Having another connection to Fretz [Road] I think would be a great thing,” Shipley said. “As far as the type of development, you know, it’s consistent with what the zoning is and the adjacent property is and the church,” Wyman said after he left the meeting. “It’s going to be townhouses. The problem, the difficulty is the traffic and the access. They need to have access from Fretz Road as the primary. The secondary access could be a right-turn-in and right-turn-out closer to where the church is for emergency vehicles and stuff like that. “It’s always been a problem be-
cause of all the subdivisions that are on Grigsby Chapel Road now, and they only have one way to get in and out of the subdivision,” he added. “It’s been the policy of the planning commission and, of course, the Town Board to allow development to have only one way in and one way out, but now we’re seeing the cumulative effect of all this. You’ve got cut-through traffic and people trying to get in and out of their subdivision. There’s a conflict there.” Moving on to discuss the future Town Center, Shipley said he would like to travel around to look at other area developments. “There’s a lot of this stuff going on in the area,” he said. “We’re really going to have to think about the future of the big box store … I think we’re going to have a real issue. Gander Mountain is the first [to go out of business].” “Do we have the ability to limit those? Or limit them to a certain area?” Alderman Louise Povlin asked. “How far west is the multi-use
town center?” Alderman Ron Williams asked. “Kohls,” Povlin said. “It’s a funky line that we’ve drawn … “If we could do underground utilities from Jamestowne to Concord Road, that section alone, what a difference it would make.” Helping pedestrians cross major roads was another concern, Povlin added.
From page 1A
“I feel the property should be developed,” said Kennedy, a Chapel Point resident, before that portion of the meeting got underway. “It’s the right of the person who owns it. But Grigsby Chapel is a cut-through even for people who live in Lenoir City going to Turkey Creek or to get on the Interstate or get away from the school [zones], and we can hardly get out of our neighborhood now. It’s a residential area and so to have townhouses there, or apartments if that’s what he wants to call them, will probably make it even more congested.” “The new development is off Grigsby Chapel Road between Chapel Point and West Side Unitarian [Universalist Church],” Mark Shipley, Community Development director, said. “You really need to do a physical inventory of the property itself,” he told developer, Travis Fuller, and engineer, Derek Jones. “There’s a sinkhole … That’s a big

She said Historic Concord Village is “technically back behind” her property and that she didn’t think any future development would be on the historic line. “I don’t think the Lodge is historical, but I don’t know.

Citizens sound off at meetings on Town strategic plan ■ TAMMY CHEEK
tcheek@farragutpress.com
A dozen Farragut residents gave their input about Town of Farragut’s strategic plan during an informal public meeting last week. Some said they wanted high-quality retail to fill and renovate vacant commercial centers, while others wanted to develop a Town Center, add a downtown parking garage or develop a major road plan.
“What would you like to see Farragut become?” Town administrator David Smoak asked. “Pedestrian friendly … better connected,” attendee Carol King said. “Less cars.” Robin Hill said he would like to see more technology companies moving into Farragut to create more employment. Larry Whiteside said while growth is inevitable, he thinks it is important “to maintain what we’ve got, the thing that attracted
us all here.” The gathering, which took place in Farragut Town Hall Tuesday, Aug. 29, was one of two public meetings to give Town leaders input on its strategic planning process. Six residents attended the first meeting, which took place Monday, Aug. 28. “We’re having a very good response [to a survey] online,” Smoak said. “We had these meetings for people who wanted to speak in person.”
He said the Town has had a strategic plan for several years. “Every year, we update it on the year’s goals, objectives and things Smoak we want to get accomplished for those years, but this year we want to go back,
test the plan and figure out what do we need to do. You’re here tonight to let us know if we are on the right track,” Smoak said. In reference to the Town’s vision statement: “Farragut — a home, a destination, a connected community that lives closer and goes further,” Smoak asked the gathering, “I’d like you to talk about what that means to you, to live closer and go further?” See STRATEGIC on Page 2A

When Ernie Trebing rolled into Knox County in 1977, he didn’t know what to expect. All he knew was he would be meeting with a group of parents interested in starting a Christian school. For a long time, parents Jack and Carolyn Rice had been thinking about a Christian school. Their son, Dean, was about to start second grade. For several years, they and some friends from Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church had started talking about how nice it would be to have a Protestant Christian school in Knoxville. Those conversations had gotten more intense as the couples met at one another’s homes to pray about a school.
Subscriptions are available! Call 865-675-6397 today!
Finally, the day came and they met Trebing, the prospective headmaster at what would become Christian Academy of Knoxville, face-to-face. “He said, ‘How many students do you have?’ and we said, ‘One,’” Carolyn Rice recalled recently, as CAK celebrates its 40th anniversary. “The board had said, ‘Before we interview this man, sign your kids up.’ It was a long, time-consuming application and we had struggled to get it done. The others just hadn’t gotten it done yet.” “Trebing said, ‘Where are you planning to meet?’” Rice said, “And we said, ‘We don’t know exactly.’ We were looking at a couple of prospective properties. Different couples and one grandparent met with him that weekend and took him to dinner. Trebing said he’d pray about it, but he
eventually came. He was just very open to this challenge.” Rice said they told Trebing they were praying for 100 students by the end of the year in 1977. They met that goal. The school that started in the Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church building now sits on a 77-acre campus at 529 Academy Way, just off Dutchtown Road, in West Knoxville. Instead of a handful of students, the liberal arts school that houses pre-kindergarten through high school Carolyn Evans students has an enrollment of about Carolyn Rice and her husband, Jack, 1,000, which represents 146 churches. The average ACT score is 28.

Tennessee’s General Assembly has seen a shift in its leadership in the past 10 years, both in the senate and state house, as various members have moved on to higher aspirations, retired or taken other political positions. “In the last 10 years, the legislature has changed from people being there forever to where, today, there is less than one-fourth of the people who were there 10 years ago,” said Chuck Laine,
president of Laine Communications and a registered lobbyist who represents Town of Farragut. He was featured speaker during The Rotary Club of Farragut’s regular noon Wednesday meeting Aug. 30 in Fox Den Country Club ballroom. “We’re kind of losing our leadership in the senate,” he added. As a result, “The laws they’re enacting are really a detriment to cities,” David Smoak, Town administrator and RCF past president, said after the meeting. “They are taking away our author-
ity to be able to govern the way the local officials would like to manage their own cities. “So, it’s been helpful to have someone in Nashville who is there all the time because we can’t be there all the time,” Smoak added about Laine. Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen contracted with Laine two years ago to represent the Town in Nashville, then renewed the contract last year. “One of the reasons we work See LAINE on Page 7A

The weekend also included Pooch Plunge presented by K-9 Center of East Tennessee Friday afternoon, Sept. 15, for dog owners to allow their pets a chance to jump — many for the first time. “Dog lovers are ecstatic,” said Steve Krempasky, Shop Farragut executive director, Sunday. “They’ve thanked me too many times now.

Casie Raines, owner of Little Nest Portraits in Turkey Creek, specializes in “lifestyle” photography. She says the portraits of her family are her most prized possessions. This one of her two sons is one of her favorites.
Little Nest Portraits Turkey Creek biz captures special moments
■
CAROLYN EVANS cevans@farragutpress.com
In her home in Gatlinburg, her children's faces smile from large canvas portraits. Photographer Casie Raines said those photographs, little canvases and little photobooks are the most prized possessions in her house. Her favorite large portrait hangs in her den. It is one of her two boys taken a year ago. "They were just goofing around," she said recently, "and this picture just captured both their personalities so well. It was a fun moment and this picture immortalizes it for me.” Raines’ passion is helping others capture fleeting moments before they’re gone. The owner of Little Nest Portraits parks her car in front of her store, 11279 Parkside Drive in the Pinnacle Turkey Creek shopping center, one of 10 franchises in the Eastern United States. Her franchise celebrated its first anniversary in March. Farragut resident Jessica Toler said her family had an “awesome experience” at Little Nest. She and her husband, Ben, came in with their three young children. “I was impressed with their photographer — so friendly and creative,” she said. “Love, love, love our photos.” Not only does Little Nest photograph families, they’ll be manning a photo booth at Farragut Primary School Fall Festival, and doing headshots for a local real estate company providing a stylist and makeup artist for women and a clothing consultant and a hair person for men.
“We do modern brand forward headshots,” Raines said, “not your traditional stuffy headshot. A little more playful with personality.” Little Nest specializes in baby portraits. “The first seven to 10 days of life is the golden window of time for newborn pictures,” she said. “We provide blocks of time. You have privacy with regard to changing and we have a special room for new moms who need to nurse or change a baby. "We focus on providing a hospital-level grade of cleanliness for newborns. We sanitize the doorknobs and clean all floors and surfaces," Raines added. "Newborns have an immature immune system and that’s a real concern for moms who don’t want to take their baby out in the first few weeks of life, but still want baby pictures.” Young families may come in for their own private portrait session, an unhurried affair with time allotted for wardrobe changes — and some cookie eating and coloring. Little Nest also offers on-location shoots and special themes. Earlier his year they did a complimentary “Americana-themed" session for families of veterans and sent a free photograph to each one. The goal is to deliver a “lifestyle” look, Raines said. “It kind of looks like a family portrait and its truly elevated to art. We utilize that through our signature lighting and posing techniques. The finished portrait is something they’re proud to display for generations. “We focus on relationships and connections in our portraits,” she added as she pointed to a group of See LITTLE NEST on Page 9A

Farragut residents Ron and Anita Dresen have stopped their lives as a chemical engineer and stay-at-home mom to work together to launch the first Culver’s in Tennessee. They are bringing a taste of Wisconsin dairy to West Knox County. The couple opened this fastcasual restaurant See CULVER’S on Page 8A

Farragut residents Ron and Anita Dresen, center, pose with their crew a few days before the grand opening of Culver’s Restaurant Tuesday, Sept. 12. Carolyn Evans
Culver’s From page 7A
Tuesday, Sept. 12, at 9113 Kingston Pike. You can order a Butterburger [the buns are buttered] for $3 to $5, or maybe a North Atlantic cod or butterfly jumbo shrimp or beef pot roast dinner — or maybe a salted caramel pecan custard sundae — at the counter, and then have a seat and wait for your food. The crew of nearly 70 employees includes both Dresens, since the corporation requires owners to be hands-on. It also includes two of their four children: Max Dresen is a student at The University of Tennessee, and Maddie is a junior at Farragut High School. Their siblings, Alyssa, who lives in Kansas, and Scott, who lives in Nashville, came in for the grand opening. Natives of Wisconsin, the Dresens have personal photos of their families’ dairy farms on the walls. The barns are emblazoned with the name "Culver's," a 638-store chain well known up north. “When Anita and I were in college, we stopped at the No. 1 store before it was franchised or anything like that. Culvers started in 1984 in Sauk City, Wisconsin," Ron said. "We’re in 28 states and we’re number 638.” Ron said he and Anita started talking about bringing Culver’s to Knoxville 12 years ago, but that was when their oldest child was heading off to college and the time wasn’t right. “About a year ago now we decided to look into it again. People have looked at Knoxville before, but they never just pulled the trigger and bought a franchise here," Ron said. With its Wisconsin roots, “Culver’s is really big into supporting
farmers,” he said. “There are blue barns all over Wisconsin. I grew up baling hay for my aunt and uncle. They milked 600 cows in Wisconsin and Anita’s sister's [family], they milk 25 head of cattle in Wisconsin, so those pictures are in the back over there. "We’re [Green Bay] Packers fans, so there’s Packers paraphernalia," he said pointing to a framed piece on the wall. ‘I have my engineering degree from the University of Wisconsin and I got my MBA from UT, so I’m a Vol, and the back side of this wall is Vol stuff.” Although Anita has been busy at home, she worked in her family’s grocery store and has experience with family-owned businesses. Neither of them has worked in the food industry before, so working together 24/7 is a new adventure. “I’ll do a lot of the back-of-thehouse stuff,” she said, “marketing, office-type work.” Ron will be on-site working with the employees, being the main manager and owner. “Our little town of Mauston has a Culver’s,” she added. “We’ve been in No. 1 and we’re No. 638. We saw them all starting.” What’s her favorite sandwich on the menu? “The cod is really good. A lot of people love the pork tenderloin. The butterfly shrimp would obviously be my favorite," Anita said. "The buffalo chicken tenders are really good.” To get a look at the menu, go to www.culvers.com.
Along with Midwest beef, Culver’s offers frozen custard. The custard is made fresh from the family’s dairy farm in Wisconsin. Photo submitted

one family’s pictures on display. “There’s so much emotion and connection. Dad’s having a good time with the kids. Mom’s all snuggled up with the boys. “Our model here is really more a boutique experience. One family at a time. It’s about providing them a great experience.” Starting "with wedding and engagement photography," Raines said, “I’ve been a photographer for 25 year now." She and her husband, John,
also own Flower Mountain Weddings in Sevier County, a 25-acre venue that features a lodge surrounded by wildflowers. “We lost one of our wedding chapels and photo venue in the fire in November,” she said. “I learned about Laura Novac [founder of Little Nest Portraits],” Raines added. “I read an article in a photo magazine about her concept and what she was doing for families and mothers. I love photographing children and families. It’s always been something I’ve enjoyed.” She said she liked the idea
of having a studio and offering “something to creatives and them still having their lives and their families. I really felt like Knoxville needed this concept." Currently, Raines employs three other photographers. The business offers photo books, large canvas prints, float wrap canvases and framed prints in standard pictures sizes from keychains to custom photo jewelry, all the way up to a 40-by-60-inch print. “We do a full-service classic session and more of a bite-size session,” she said. “What I’m really excited about is our heirloom
program. Little Nest Portraits is the first studio in the U.S. to offer a monthly member program that gets them an unlimited amount of sessions and 50 digitals for the year. We retouch all the digitals,” she said. "… It’s pretty amazing savings. Everyone we’ve shown it to has been blown away by the offer. It’s a year in the life of your family. … We will do a session in the home and go to some park settings." Little Nest offers pictures for family reunions, too.

HVA’s Guy named state History Teacher of Year
■
STAFF REPORTS editor@farragutpress.com
Gilder Lehrman Institute has named Andrea Guy, Hardin Valley Academy teacher, as Tennessee History Teacher of the Year. Several of her students nominated Guy for the Guy state’s top award. Guy will be honored at a state ceremony Wednesday, Sept. 27, in
Nashville. Knox County Board of Education recognized her during its August meeting. U.S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan Jr. [R-Second District] featured Guy in the June 29 Congressional Record. “Ms. Guy is very student-centered and is always looking for opportunities to broaden her own learning so that she can bring it back to the classroom in order to make the learning relevant,” HVA principal Sallee Reynolds said. Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History is a highly respected American history organization dedicated to kindergartenthrough-12th-grade education. Photos by Carolyn Evans

They were so excited to deliver their present that they were an hour early. Mike and MaryEmma Bunch and Betty Holland, members of First Baptist Concord, were all up by 6:30 a.m., Tuesday, Aug. 29. They’d already had their coffee by the time they hitched up the 17-foot-long trailer — the present — and headed to Burchfield School in Oneida. The pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade school with about 700 students had been needing the trailer for years: members of the band and football team had been cramming equipment into individual cars when they traveled to band competitions or away games. “They’ve been using five to six
vehicles every time they had to go somewhere,” said Steve Peek, pastor of Legacy Builders [seniors] at First Baptist Concord. “They’ve tried to generate funds by whatever ways and means and still couldn’t reach the goal of raising money for a trailer, mainly because they had other needs and people were very limited in what they could give. I was going to go to our Legacy Builders when an individual came to me and said they’d like to provide the funds for the trailer.” The church bought a brand-new trailer and a friend put the icing on the cake. “Jim McMichaels, a church member here, has a sign company, Jim McMichael’s Signs,” Holland said.

Jerry Kornegay frantically motioned for his Polish unit to run. They disappeared one by one into the dark cover of Germany’s Black Forest. They burst into the German camp. They attacked, thrusting German soldiers through with their swords. The year was 1630. Kornegay was 12 years into the 30 Years’ War. Kornegay’s Polish unit is Protestant and they’re constantly fighting the German Catholics, even though the 30 Years’ War was over centuries ago.

Could you spare 30 minutes to help people see? That and a small donation is all it would take and you’d have fun at the same time. Farragut Lions Club is putting on its second annual Charity Car Rally show from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 7, in the main parking lot of First Baptist Concord, 11704 Kingston Pike. Member Ed Mee is excited about this year’s Charity Car Rally. “We feel like we’re going to have a pretty good-sized show this year,”
he said, “and FBC has been gracious to turn the main parking lot over to us that Saturday. “We just want to invite the whole community to come and help us raise money so we can help those in our surrounding area. Our big thing is helping those with eyesight problems.” Lions Clubs everywhere guarantee that 100 percent of money raised is spent on helping their communities; no monies go to administrative expenses. The car show will be free — free See LIONS on Page 4B

Dean named Town’s ‘Featured Artist’ for September, October
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Inspired by mentor, American artist Jim Grey, Sandra Dean, a Farragut Arts Council member, focuses her talents on using watercolors to create botanical paintings. Town of Farragut presents Dean as its featured artist for September and October. Her exhibit, located on the second floor of the rotunda in Farragut Town Hall, spotlights Dean’s watercolor botanicals and other subjects. Her interest in art started when she was very young. “I either had a crayon or a pencil,” she said. “That was the
beginning. I really hadn’t had any formal training other than the few hours that I spent up in classes with Jim Grey [in the 1980s], and the medium I wound up with is watercolor because there were no openings in Jim Grey’s oil painting class. “But, [watercolor] fits me perfectly,” Dean added. “I paint flowers and things like that, and I can get a delicacy [with watercolors]. It seems like oil is a bit heavier. I can appreciate it. “Once you get into watercolor and you make a mistake, there’s not much you can do unless you can work out a happy accident,” she added and laughed. “That’s the way Jim talked about it.”
Town of Farragut Arts Council presents the watercolor paintings of Farragut artist Sandra Dean. As Town’s “Featured Artist” for September and October, Dean’s works are on display in Farragut Town Hall.
Dean starts with a detailed drawing and uses photographs of her subjects to be more precise. “When you are a botanical artist, you have to see how the plant is made, how the leaves come out — are they across from one another or is one up here and the other up there — because if you don’t pay attention to detail, someone who really knows the subject, they’ll let you know that you did it wrong,” she said. “You have to pay attention.” Dean also loves to paint character studies of people. Her painting started as a hobby but her involvement in art grew See DEAN on Page 3B

During Vision Sunday, Aug. 20, Pastor Seth Hammond talked to the congregation at Christ Covenant Presbyterian about the church’s plans for the future.
New pastor unveils CCPC vision for future
■
CAROLYN EVANS cevans@farragutpress.com
“I believe every person has questions about why they exist and what their purpose in life is,” the Rev. Seth Hammond said recently. Just before “Vision Sunday” Aug. 20 at Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church, 12915 Kingston Pike in Farragut, Hammond took some time to talk about his vision for the church’s future. “Everybody asks those questions at some time in their life,” said Hammond, who took over the pulpit as CCPC senior paster in May when the Rev. Jim Barnes, founding pastor, retired. “The Bible answers life’s hardest questions. The reason for people’s existence is to glorify God and enjoy Him. We are made in His image and made like Him because
He’s our creator. Our purpose is to reflect His goodness and His attributes. “I say the church provides truth for life’s hardest questions and family for life’s difficult struggles,” he added. “Jim’s very first sermon was Ephesians 4:12, which basically says the church’s responsibility is to train church members for the work of ministry for the building up of the church. He started that on day one and we’re going to continue that. He laid a great foundation.” Looking back, “When I got here almost five years ago, the church had started praying for revival,” Hammond said. “Revival means to wake up. Christ Covenant is praying God will wake up the church around the community, country and the world. We support 29 missionaries around the world. That’s
part of our strategy. “The vision is to awaken the church and engage the culture,” he added. “Our mission is to reach and equip people of all ages with the uncompromising truth of Scripture, enabling us to serve others with the unwavering love of Jesus in our families, church, community and world.” “Our strategy is to equip people through discipleship, classes and worship and serve people through small groups, outreach and missions. All these efforts will be covered in prayer.

Farragut residents add cheer with flowers

The core idea of Random Acts of Flowers is to re-purpose flowers; for instance, flowers that have just been used at a wedding could be distributed the next day to patients at a hospital or to residents in a nursing home. This non-profit was founded by Larson Jay of Knoxville in 2008. He was taken aback by seeing hospital patients without flowers, in contrast to the many that came to his room in the days after recovering from a fall. Jay was inspired to change that imbalance. Also inspired are Farragut residents Nancy Kirt and Carla Werner, who have been Randon Acts of Flowers volunteers for a few years. Both women said they get a lot of joy out of helping with the nonprofit. When Kirt moved to Linda Heights from Wisconsin three years ago, she came with her Master Gardner credentials. “I always thought delivering flowers would be fun,” she said. “I work in my yard a lot because I enjoy it.” She saw an announcement for volunteers and attended a short orientation at the headquarters off Middlebrook Pike with about 20 others. “There are a lot of people in Knoxville who volunteer,” she said. “There’s floral prep, there’s designing bouquets, there’s delivery, there are people who wash vases and buckets [so the flowers last longer] and there’s sweeping up,” she said. “People bring flowers to the warehouse after events, such as weddings, and get them from the grocery stores. John Benzinger donates flowers he grows. Sometimes companies donate staff time to do floral prep and sometimes students come in to get in volunteer hours. “It’s a good environment,” she added about the warehouse. “Depending on the day, there’s usually about 20 to 30 volunteers. The warehouse isn’t air-conditioned, so there’s one very large fan. There’s music playing, there’s a lot of people you can talk to and people are making friendships at the same time. It’s busy. It’s uplifting to be there. I go about once a week for about three hours. You can come and go as you please.” Werner retired as assistant principal at John Sevier Elementary School seven years ago.

Werner usually delivers arrangements to patients at Blount Memorial Hospital, while Kirt helps with flower preparation at RAF warehouse off Middlebrook Pike.
“I knew I wanted to find some things to do on my interest level and I’d always loved flowers,” she said. “I saw an ad in a local magazine. Random Acts of Flowers was just beginning and they had classes where you could go learn design work. I went for three classes and the lady who was the manager of Random Acts who checked people in and assisted said, ‘Why don’t you do some design work at Random Acts of Flowers facility?’ It was a very small organization at the time, just beginning, and everybody did flowers, cleaned vases, whatever needed to be done. “The flowers that were donated were always taken out of that arrangement and put in containers with water,” she explained. “We always made another original.” After working in flower design for three or four years, she changed assignments. “A couple of years ago, they needed someone to drive the delivery van to Maryville. Since I’d taught there, it was natural for me to go to Blount Memorial. Since then they’ve hired a driver, John Cavagrotti.” Eventually, Werner became a delivery person at Blount Memorial Hospital. “When the flower arrangements are made, we meet John at the hospital and he has the flowers in the van,” she said. “Blount Memorial
has made us part of their volunteer staff.” Werner and two other ladies, Evelyn Weisekoff and Lori Chmielreski, have delivered flowers to patients’ rooms for about three years now. “I think the part I like the best is when you walk into a room and the patient has received nothing. They have no flowers and they seem to be very sad. When you bring them flowers, it’s an immediate positive reaction most of the time,” Werner added. “You know you’ve done something nice for them today.”

Visitors can enjoy a friendly cornhole competition, with prizes going to winners. “We’re also having a 50/50 raffle,” Mee said. “The winner gets 50 percent and the Lions Club gets 50 percent.” In case of rain, the event will be

moved to Saturday, Oct. 21, at the same time and place. “When I was a young man in the Air Force, I was in Los Angles and I was as lost as Hogan’s gold,” Mee said. “There was a gentleman who got on the bus with a German Shephard seeing-eye dog. That dog took that gentleman to a seat and pushed him in where he was to sit and that dog jumped up and sat next to him. However it happened, that dog knew where they were to get off and barked. The bus stopped and the dog helped him get off. Then the dog helped him cross a busy, busy the street. That’s stuck with me since 1963. There’s a good possibility that [a] Lions Club had some hand in that.” Farragut Lions Club is part of District 12N and helps support Tennessee School for the Blind, Tennessee School for the Deaf, East Tennessee Lions Eye Bank, Leader Dogs for the Blind, Diabetes Awareness, Pediatric Cancer and other causes. Through 12N, it helps provide vision screening and eyeglasses for Knox Countians in need.

Band members and football players at Burchfield School (kindergarten-through-eighth-grade) in Oneida with their new trailer Tuesday, Aug. 29. It was paid for by an anonymous donor at First Baptist Concord.
Trailer From page 1B
Holland [who passed away several months ago], had been business associates for many years. Ken and I were so blessed to do this ministry together. Jim volunteered to do the logos on the trailer for free in Ken’s memory.” McMichael’s emblazoned the school name and logo — two rams— on the sides and the back of the trailer. “We left early because my husband was concerned about pulling a trailer up the mountain,” Bunch said. “We made better time than we expected.” “We were an hour early,” Holland added, “so we stopped for a Coke at a Pilot station.” They pulled up with the new toy in the school’s parking lot and principal Tonja Crabtree and administrative assistant Joan Cotton came
out to meet them. “We could hear them calling the students outside over the loud speaker,” Bunch said. Soon about 200 band members and football players poured out, with football coach Charles Golden and band director Cole Hunt in tow. Mike Bunch presented the trailer’s title to the principal and she asked the students to gather in front of the trailer for a picture. “Some of the older students came and hugged us and told us how thrilled they were and how hard it was to stuff all those instruments in cars,” Holland said. “One of the older band members told me that she’d been praying for a trailer for seven years,” Bunch said. The church adopted the school in 2006 when Emmette Thompson, director of Mission of Hope and FBC member, came and presented the

need for the school to be adopted, Peek said. “We said, ‘We want that school.’” For the last 11 years, church members have been making trips to Oneida. “We go to the school five times a year,” Peek said, “with backpacks in August, then in September to ask sixth-, seventh- and eighthgraders to sign a big poster that says ‘Stay in School and Graduate;’ then at Christmas to deliver toys, food, clothing, hygiene products and Bibles; in February to deliver certificates to give them a tangible reminder of their commitment, then back in May for a teacher appreciation luncheon. “The band always plays for us as a gift of music when we go up there at Christmas,” he added. “We have seen the band literally go from about eight students to about 150 students.”
Town in Turkey Creek on Saturday, Sept. 2. With the retired Air Force major were the commanders of the Swedes, the French, the Spanish, the Austrians, the Russians and the Ottoman Turks, otherwise known as members of the Historic Gaming Society of Knoxville. On the table lay the rule book for “By Fire and Sword,” a historical war game. Directing the game was Karl Shanstrom, a doctor from Missouri, who is the distributor for the game in the United States and was in Knox County for the special Saturday event. “We’re retired mostly so we play on Fridays,” Kornegay said, “but we also play on one Saturday a month. One college-aged kid who’s been participating is about to go back into the army and a high-schooler participates. It’s free and we’re open to the public. We tend to have younger people for special events on Saturday because they’re out of school. The parents will drop their kids off and go shopping. “We play ancient; we play American West; we play 20th century; we play American Revolution, Napoleonic; [World War]I and WW II airplanes; pirates. We do WW II Navy; we do WW II; we do Japanese Samuri; we do gangsters. “I have about 100 [figures],” Kornegay said. “A mixture of infantry and cavalry.” His friend, Ed Bardill, a retired Army officer, 30-year-war gamer, and founder of the Turkey Creek
group, has about 100. “It’s a way of learning history,” Bardill said. “Why did certain things happen the way they did? You have a chance to change history. I’ve won Picket’s Charge on the third day.” “The easiest way to get involved is to get a copy of the rules,” Karl said. “[Get] an army and pick a country you enjoy playing. The six main armies are listed in the main rule book, but we have an expansion with three new armies and we have a couple stand-alone books.” Karl said you basically need a rule book for about $60, a starter army from $50 to $75, some paints and some time. “To play a game you need about 30 figures,” he said, “that cost 80 cents apiece. I’ve got Polish infantry and cavalry and a German mercenary group.” The participants paint the figures in correct uniform colors, some even dotting on miniscule buttons. “Painting time depends on how much detail you put into it,” Kornegay said. “I’m 74 years old. I’ve got my WW II British that are solid brown. That takes about half a minute. I’ve got 30 Years War figures I painted separate colors and each figure has five to six colors. That takes longer. We also play with 28 millimeter figures.” “Game days on Saturdays are open to the public,” Bardill said. “[Visitors] can play. We’ll guide them through. It costs them nothing. I’ll meet interested participants and do a demo game for free at Hobby Town.”

Farragut sweeps 4-AAA in golf ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
MARYVILLE — Farragut High School golf coach Kathy Nagy couldn’t have been happier Monday, Sept. 18. And she had good reason, as both the Admirals and Lady Admirals left Blount County District 4-AAA champs. The boys claimed the title by winning a playoff with Maryville. The girls Halama edged the Lady Rebels by six strokes to claim the crown at Lambert Acres Golf Course. In the girls championship, FHS finished with a team total of 146 led by Lexanne Halama, who won the individual title by carding a 1-under 71. Emily Keeling finished fourth with a 75. “The girls did really well,” Nagy said. “All of our golfers left their hearts out there today.” Hardin Valley’s Jenna Galbraith also had an 89 and advanced.

KNOXVILLE — Throughout his coaching career at Bearden High School, Eric Turner was never one to crave the spotlight. While his name has been forever etched in the school’s storied soccer h i s t o r y, it now is etched with Bearden’s field. “I’ve always said that this was about more than Turner just one person,” said Turner, who was honored at halftime of the Lady Bulldogs’ 3-0 District 2-AAA victory over Morristown West Tuesday, Sept. 12. “We had a lot of help from the community and we had a lot of great players.” See TURNER on Page 10B

KEN LAY Correspondent
Farragut High School’s football team will return home this week. The Admirals, ranked No. 4 statewide in Class 6A, will put a 17-game winning streak on the line when they host West High School Friday, Sept. 22, at Bill Clabo Field. The Runnin’ Rebels [3-2 in 2017] recently had a three-game winning streak snapped when they dropped a 23-13 decision at Oak Ridge last Friday. But Farragut head coach Eddie Courtney said West will give his squad another tough test. “West is very athletic and they’re a good football team,” Courtney
said. “This will be another tough football game for us. “They caught Oak Ridge at a tough time and Oak Ridge got really physical with them.” Losing their season opener to Bearden at home before edging Hardin Valley Academy and posting dominant wins over Karns and Halls, West paid a visit to Oak Ridge after the Wildcats suffered their most lopsided loss in recent memory. It was the Admirals [5-0] that thumped Oak Ridge 41-0 the week before the Rebels invaded Blankenship Field. West is coached by Lamar Brown. In his first season with the Rebels, Brown came to Sutherland Avenue after a decade of success
in Hamblen County at Morristown West. He replaces Jeff Harig, who returned to Loudon after two seasons in Knoxville. “Lamar Brown is a good football coach,” Courtney said. “West has some good athletes and they understand, now, when he wants them to do. “They’re well-coached and they’ve been playing really well lately. They’ve gotten better every week.” Key players for the Rebels include: Drake Peer [a senior quarterback who has started in each of the last three seasons]; Cal Cook [senior, linebacker]; Daniel Ledbetter [senior, wide receiver] and Trariq Hardin [a senior running
back, who had a big game at Hardin Valley]. Farragut enters Friday night’s contest after notching a 33-6 road win at Jefferson County. It was Braden Collins, Jacob Warren, Isaiah Gibbs and sophomore quarterback Gavin Wilkinson who provided the bulk of the offensive punch for the Admirals in Dandridge. When West and Farragut renew acquaintances on the gridiron this week, the two teams will write another chapter in one of Knox County’s longest-running rivalries. The Rebels and the Admirals have played every year since 2007. The series dates back to 1961 See WEST-FHS on Page 11B

MORRISTOWN — Hardin Valley Academy stormed into Morristown West High School and, with balance on offense and a stiff-necked defense, won this Region 1-6A clash with ease, 36-14, Friday evening, Sept. 15. Now 3-2 overall having won three in a row, the Hawks claim their first region victory. The MWHS Trojans fall to 1-3, 0-2. “We executed real well in the first half on offense,” HVA head coach Wes Jones said. “In the first

half we probably averaged 12, 14 yards a carry. We mixed up the run and the pass and had several guys touching the football. We had several guys make plays.” Aaron Dykes, senior running back, scored four touchdowns “but only rushed for about 90 yards,” Jones said. “Our quarterback, Grayson Vaughn, he rushed for over a hundred yards and threw for over a hundred yards.” After adding a touchdown early in the third quarter to go up 36-7, “We got ugly and lost our focus a See HAWKS on Page 12B

KNOXVILLE — Webb School of Knoxville used its formula for success to notch a big region victory on the gridiron. Spartans head coach David Meske believes his Wing-T offense works better with multiple running backs. And on Friday night, Sept. 15, this proved to be the case as Webb rushed for 430 yards in a 48-27 Division II-AA East Region victory over Grace Christian Academy at David Meske Stadium. “We have four great running backs and they all scored a touchdown tonight,” Meske said. “We’re better when we have more running backs.”

Ads’ defense stout in 17th straight win ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
DANDRIDGE — While Farragut’s offense lost its way after scoring a touchdown just 34 seconds into the game at Jefferson County last Friday evening, the Admirals defense shined — minus three long Patriot runs. Led by junior running back Isaiah Gibbs’ two touchdown runs, Farragut offense woke up in the second half. The defense recorded three fourth-down-and-short stops and the Ads, ranked No. 4 statewide in Class 6A, won their 17th straight game spanning two seasons. It was a 33-6 victory Sept. 15, improving the FHS record in 2017 to 5-0 overall, 2-0 in Region 1-6A. The Patriots fell to 3-2, 0-2. “We won the trench battle, that’s always huge,” Cade Burkey, FHS senior linebacker, said about numerous Admirals short-yardage and minus-yardage stops plus sacks. “Our defensive line gets great push on the offensive line, it really helps us linebackers move free and come clean it up. We can come in and push the pile back because of Anthony [Lawson], Nnambi [McSwine], Nolan [Davis], and Caleb Kuhn pushing them back and holding them up. It really helps us linebackers. “That’s why we were able to keep the score so low,” he added. “They had some big guys up front, but the best thing that I did was get lower than them,” Lawson, senior nose guard, said. “They didn’t have near enough power as me.
“After the first stop I dislocated my finger, came out, then went back in. No problem.” Overall, “We had an amazing game,” Lawson said. “We had to keep on fighting, and towards the second half things started popping loose for us,” said Isaiah Gibbs, who scored on runs of 8 and 3 yards plus a 2-point conversion scamper. His 58-yard run with barely more than a minute left in the first half set up his 3-yard TD and a 12-0 halftime lead. “We executed.” As for Gibbs himself, “I had to find out what the pace of the game was going to be, what the defense was going to do,” he said. “And as I got more reps, I executed better, hit the hole hard and it was off to the races.” “Our linemen blocked amazing,” Gibbs added. “It was one of their best overall games against great Jefferson County defense.” Gavin Wilkinson, FHS sophomore quarterback, hit senior tight-end Jacob Warren on a 46-yard touchdown strike, a slant pattern, just 34 seconds into the game before the Admirals offense went stagnant. Wilkinson also connected with Braden Collins, senior receiver, on a 7-yard scoring pass in the third quarter. Jake Evans, junior back-up quarterback, scored on a 64-yard run straight up the middle with 9:27 left in the game. The Pats’ lone TD came after partially blocking a punt, returning it 40 yards to the FHS 5, then scoring on back-up defenders late.

Spartans From page 10B
Farragut Youth Football 10-U, 9-U cheerleaders
Lewis both had interceptions against the Rams (1-3, 1-1), Ernst was a force on many big tackles and he said that he loves playing on both sides of the ball. Meske noted that Ernst is one of the more physical players that he’s coached in more than three decades at Webb. “He’s one tough man,” Meske said. “He’s one of the toughest players that I’ve ever coached.” Ernst might have been the biggest star on a night when the Spartans’ rushing attack truly sparkled, but early on it was the Rams that had the upper hand. Grace led 13-7 in the first quarter before Webb responded. “We didn’t panic,” Meske said. “They did some good things and we did some good things. They have some really good players. “Rusty [Bradley, GCA head coach] does a good job with things on their offense.”
Farragut Youth Football 10-andUnder cheerleaders, bottom row from left, are Emma Kate Kilpatrick, Kallie Jacobs and Jocelyn McClintock. Middle row, from left, are Caroline Zhao, Gigi Azambuja, Julia Friar and Sydney Newby. Top row of cheerleaders, from left, are Tatum Campbell, Taryn Jackson, Emmy Zimmer and Arielle Buxton. Coaches, from left, are Nina McClintock, head coach, and assistants Amy Newby and Michaela Buxton.

qualifiers in Emma Brown (78) and Emma Kammann (91). As for the boys, “We won the playoff against Maryville and Maryville is a great team and we have a lot of respect for them,” Nagy said. “The boys set a goal and they achieved it. That’s the thing I’m proudest of.” Farragut and the Rebels were tied at 296 at the end of regulation after FHS’s Connor Price, who shot a career-best 78, drained a putt to force a playoff. The Ads clinched the title on the first playoff hole. For Farragut, Antonio Farinella carned a 2-under par 70. “Antonio shot a personal best and finished tied for second,” Nagy said. HVA’s Jeremy Jones (73) and Spencer Dodson (74) and Bearden’s Bryson Morrell (71) also advanced.
Farragut Youth Football 9-and-Under cheerleaders with head coach Tiffany Ericksen are, front row from left, Avery Ericksen and Logan Jameson. Second row, from left, are Katie Witte, Riley Jameson, Talia Pohl, Emma Kuhn and Claire Frynkewicz.

little bit,” Jones said. Defensively, “Braylin Jackson had another good night, he had double-digit tackles,” Jones said about the senior defensive tackle. “Had three tackles for loss.” Lock Hardin, junior linebacker “had 13 tackles,” Jones said. “E.J. Caldwell [senior cornerback] had an interception.”

Ads up 2 games, red hot Hawks coming on strong Following a 33-6 victory at Jefferson County last Friday evening, the state’s No. 4-ranked Class 6A Farragut Admirals widened the gap between first and second place on “the scoreboard.” Still perfect midway through the season (5-0), the Admirals now have a two-game lead in farragutpress’ How the West Was Won presented by PureMagic Carwash contest, which rewards best regular season record among seven Farragut-area teams. Bearden, which now relinquishes second-place in the standings to the suddenly red-hot Hardin Valley Academy Hawks, were alone in second-place until a 35-21 loss at Johnson City Science Hill last Friday. The Bulldogs, Hawks and Knoxville Catholic Irish each hold 3-2 records, but HVA has the Net Points tiebreaker advantage. Hardin Valley traveled to Morristown and slapped around the Mo-West Trojans 36-14, marking HVA’s first Region 1-6A game of the season. It’s also the Hawks’
third straight victory. Bearden remains third in the PureMagic HWWW standings thanks to net points. Catholic, meanwhile, had major issues with the Hamilton County version of Trojans before surviving. The Irish climbed back from a pair of 21-point deficits at SoddyDaisy last Friday to take leads of 42-28 and 49-35 — only to see the Trojans mount their own rally. A missed extra point by Soddy Daisy, plus a late Catholic defensive stand deep in KCHS territory proved the difference. Webb School of Knoxville bounced back in style from a pair of losses to much bigger Division II schools, whipping Grace Christian Academy and former CAK head coach Rusty Bradley 48-27 in David Meske Stadium last Friday. The Spartans improve to 2-2. The only good thing about Christian Academy of Knoxville’s 34-10 home loss to Chattanooga Christian last Friday, which

dropped the Warriors to 0-5, is getting out of the PureMagic HWWW contest cellar.
Based on net points, CAK is sixth followed by 0-5 Concord Christian School, a 60-18 loser
versus Grace Baptist of Chattanooga Friday at Grace Christian Academy of Knoxville.
