Town could owe KCS $1 million-plus ■
DAN BARILE editor@farragutpress.com
Farragut Town administrators were advised by Knox County Finance director Chris Caldwell recently that the Town is delinquent in paying a portion of Mixed Drink taxes to Knox County Schools. Town spokesperson Chelsey Riemann released a statement from the Town saying, “Town of
Farragut has received notification of an issue affecting cities and counties across the state of Tennessee regarding the required allocation of 50 percent of Mixed Drink Tax revenues to each county school system where the city or county resides. “A large number of Tennessee cities that do not have their own school systems have not been transferring these funds due to a misunderstanding regarding the
use of the Mixed Drink Tax.” Farragut Town administrator David Smoak said, “A referendum was passed in 1987 and the Town has made several direct allocations to the schools since 1993. Most of these allocations would be less than the required amount to be designated for schools from the Mixed Drink Tax, although some have amounted to more than was required to remit to the schools.
“The State of Tennessee levies a 15 percent Gross Receipts Tax on wine and spirit sales for onpremises consumption. The state keeps 50 percent of the revenue and remits the other 50 percent to the local government jurisdiction where the business is located.” Knox County and Farragut officials plan to meet sometime this week to figure out just how much Farragut owes the Knox County

Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen Thursday heard about how the Town is taking steps to be more sustainable through recycling and energy conservation. One event this year is radon testing, scheduled this month. “Radon is a sustainability issue because it affects our health,” said Lori Saal, the Town’s sustainability coordinator. “It goes to air quality, indoor and outdoor.” She said a radon awareness event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday, Oct. 18, at Lawson McGhee Public Library, 500 W. Church Ave., Knoxville, as part of Radon Awareness Week, Oct 16-22. She said the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and Tennessee Department of Heath are heading up this event with local sustainability directors. The purpose of Radon Awareness Week is to make people aware of the dangers of radon. According to TDEC, radon is a naturally occurring gas that can seep into homes through cracks and openings in the foundation. The Environmental Protection Agency reports radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

The town of Farragut has seen an increase in the number of new residential construction permits this year. The Town is expected to surpass a fouryear trend since the beginning of the recession that started in 2009, when new residential construction decreased in Farragut, said Chelsey Riemann, public relations coordinator for the town of Farragut. As of the end of August 2013, Riemann said the Town had already issued 80 new residential construction permits, which is just four permits away from meeting the 84 permits issued during all of 2012. “The value of these permits issued the first eight months of 2013 is $30,038,897, already exceeding the 2012 total value of $26,829,550,” Riemann said. “I think it just shows an overall trend in the nation’s economy that things are getting better, and we’ve continued to see growth in new residential permits,” said David Smoak, town administrator. “Hopefully, that trend continues.” Mark Shipley, interim community development director, said the Town has had a gradual increase since 2010, when overall residential and commercial building permits bottomed out at 46. Since that time, Shipley said the number See PERMITS on Page 2A

SERC, Smith discuss FHS school zone signage ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Giving motorists “a better visual cue” to increase awareness of student pedestrians while driving near Farragut schools along Kingston Pike and on West End Avenue, an idea where Town engineer Darryl Smith and Farragut Schools Educations Relations Committee found common ground. How best to present that “visual cue,” in the form of a school zone along the Farragut High School entrance off Kingston
Pike or simply add a few flashing signs, along with similar debate about West End Avenue, was SERC’s main meeting topic. Smith joined SERC members during the club’s monthly meeting Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 8, in Town Hall Community Room. “I contacted Mr. [Michael] Reynolds at Farragut High. … He said, ‘Well frankly, I’ve been wanting a school zone there for years, but there hasn’t been a lot of traction to the idea,’” said Mark Littleton, SERC chair, about the FHS principal. Smith pointed out the inter-
section of Kingston Pike and Lendon Welch Way —where FHS students who park in the old Kroger parking lot cross — “is a signalized intersection with push-button controls for crosswalks. That’s actually a lot safer than being in a school zone.” Also, “Nothing gets your attention more than the red-lights,” Smith said about the speed reduction effects of three traffic signals within a few hundred yards of each other at Lendon Welch Way. Because FHS is several hundred yards up the hill from
Kingston Pike, the school “does not front” on the pike, Smith said. However, committee member Nancy Wentz pointed out that traffic on Lendon Welch Way that turns right onto Kingston Pike, with a green light, coincides with the crosswalk “go” for students going to and from the old Kroger lot across Kingston Pike. Lee Wickman, representing FHS Parent Teacher Student Organization, said, “It’s just going to take one teenager in a big hurry” turning right from Lendon Welch Way to Kingston
Pike to hit a crossing student. Committee member Mike Singletary suggested programming the light to be red in all directions for a few seconds during peak student crossing times before and after school. Singletary also suggested, “You put up a sign that says, ‘No Turn on Red’ off of Lendon Welch Way. However, Smith said he discussed such a plan “with a traffic engineer.” “The congestion that creates in his model is unbelievable,” See SERC on Page 3A

ance on the matter going forward. There are a number of items that have yet to be determined, such as any statute of limitations on the tax revenue going back to prior years and whether direct contributions to the schools can be used to offset any outstanding obligation. “We will be working with Knox County, Knox County Schools and the State Department of Revenue to determine the most efficient way to remit these revenues in the future for all of our governmental jurisdictions.” Knox County Finance Director Chris Caldwell said the matter was initially brought to his atten-
ing the 17th annual Freaky Friday Fright Nite from 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 25, at Mayor Bob Leonard Park off Watt Road. “What a wonderful opportunity to enjoy some family fun and to help those in need at the same time,” Sue Beverly, director of See FREAKY on Page 3A
tion a couple of weeks ago after officials received an e-mail from the Tennessee Governmental Finance Officers Association. “They said ‘are your cities paying this to your schools?’” Caldwell said. “We looked at it and then met with our auditors and realized we weren’t. But, it’s not just us, though, it’s a statewide issue and the TGFO just made everyone aware of it. It’s really an obscure tax that you don’t always think about.” “We’ve been in conversations with everyone and we’re meeting next week to go over that piece [that Farragut owes],” Caldwell added. “Technically we could go back to when the ordinance was passed or maybe just negotiate some kind of agreement.”
• Oct. 10: A Sonja Drive resident reported to Knox County Sheriff’s Office his backpack leaf blower was stolen from the residence at which he was doing some landscaping. The residence was down the street from the complainant’s residence. Complainant stated he was working in the back and the leaf blower was in the front of the house. When the complainant returned to the front of the house he discovered the leaf blower had gone missing. Estimated loss is about $350. • Oct. 9: Police responded to a Sonja Drive residence for a report of a burglary. The victim told police someone entered her residence while she was at work, but a witness scared the intruder away before anything was taken. The witness said he was asleep when he heard the front door open. The witness stated he entered the living room and discovered a white male in his mid-30s standing in the foyer looking at things in the residence. The witness said he began screaming at the suspect and the suspect fled the residence and entered a white sedan that was parked in front of the residence. The front door to the residence was left unlocked by the victim’s child when she left for school. The victim stated the description matched a male suspect who had contracted to do some work for the victim. The suspect accepted pay for the job and never returned to begin the job. • Oct. 9: Police were advised by a representative of Sherwin-Williams Paints in Farragut the store had been burglarized during the night.
Complainant told officers when she came into work she noticed the office light was on and discovered a side door to the business had been shattered. Several cabinets were rifled, a glass cabinet was broken and both offices were ransacked. Two paint sprayers, a pressure washer and $600 in cash were missing. Total estimated loss was about $4,500. • Oct. 8: A Rockwell Farm Lane resident reported to police his residence had been burglarized. The victim stated that he and his wife left the residence at about 5:30 p.m. and upon returning noticed a light was on in the house that they had not left on. The victim looked through the glass of the front door and could see the glass of the rear door was almost completely shattered out of the door frame. The victims fled the residence and called 911. Officers arrived and cleared the residence. Missing were several pieces of jewelry. Estimated loss was about $2,500. • Oct. 8: A 37-year-old woman was arrested at Kohl’s department store in Farragut after store staff witnessed the woman conceal about $200 in clothing and jewelry in her purse and leave the store without paying for the items. • Oct. 8: A Sugarwood Drive woman called police after her bank called and advised her that a female had attempted to cash a check but the signature didn’t look right and the bank refused to cash it. The victim discovered her old checkbook was missing from her nightstand. The suspect was the same person the victim had used on Oct. 10 to clean her
house. The victim later received a call from the owner of Big Orange Pawn Shop off Western Avenue stating he found her checkbook in the parking lot of her business. The owner stated he also has video of the suspect dropping the checkbook. • Oct. 4: A North Burns Road woman reported to police an unknown suspect driving a blue pickup truck with Kentucky tags took a water flow meter from her vehicle white she was parked at Campbell Station Park. Value of the loss is estimated to be about $2,000. • Oct. 2: Police were advised by a representative of Dollar General store in Farragut an unknown number of suspects stole numerous packs of toilet paper and paper towels from the store’s outside display. Complainant stated the video surveillance camera recorded the items being loaded into a silver sedan. Loss is estimated to be about $200. • Oct. 3: A Sonja Drive resident reported to police an unknown person has been parking in his driveway and would stay 15 to 45 minutes. This occurs right before complainant’s wife leaves to pick up their child at school. During this time complainant’s property goes missing one piece at a time and complainant believes this is the person who is taking from them. Complainant has asked the man, a young Hispanic man driving an old Chevy Silverado with a red top and gray bottom, to leave and so has complainant’s wife. Estimated loss to date is about $800.

rates low to stimulate the economy, and that has helped,” Shipley said. Shipley added he thinks there has been a general improvement in the overall economy. “The subdivisions platted back during the housing boom are largely being built out,” he said. He noted some developments that
stalled for a while have kind of become active and are being built out. Also, he said developers are selling the speculative houses. Riemann released new residential building permit totals by years: 2009, 28; 2010, 34; 2011, 49; and 2012, 84; and 80 from January through August 2013.

Other measures Saal said she is taking are to look at ways to reduce energy costs and recycle at the town hall and parks. One measure is to install a new water meter for the town hall, she said, noting the Town could save about $6,000 to $8,000. She also replaced the recycling bins in Town Hall, getting a cistern installed using funds from an energy grant and investigating energy bills for errors. “I think it’s important before the Town tells people what to do is to start with Town Hall and showcase the savings we’ve already had,” Alderman Jeff Elliott said. He said he would like the Town to look at more community outreach programs, targeting homeowners associations and businesses, to reduce waste, Elliott said. He asked if she’s had input from those

Smith added. “He just flat told me, ‘No, you can’t do that.’” Littleton suggested that if the “all red” would be put in place, it might encourage drivers not to exit the school using Lendon Welch Way. In short, Littleton suggested “cutting some seconds off from the [traffic light] release on the high school side without impacting traffic stop times along Kingston Pike.” Wickman suggested possible flashing signage warning of “Pedestrians Entering Roadway” similar to “Vehicles Entering Roadway” flashing warning signs. “Maybe we can just reinforce additional speed limit signs,” Smith said.
groups. Saal said she has not had such input but one outreach program, she said she is looking at is a directory of sustainable businesses. “It’s something we could put on our website for residents,” Saal said. “You know if they are interested in finding a sustainable restaurant they can eat at, they can look at that list.” Last October, Americorp service members and volunteers from The University of Tennessee helped the Town conduct a waste audit at Town Hall and McFee Park. “We produced about 220 pounds of trash,” Saal said, adding 175 pounds of that could have been recycled, and 80 pounds were recycled. “We’re doing really good, I think,” she said. “That’s a lot of material that’s recycled, but, obviously, there’s room for improvement.” Wickman added, “One thing to point out is that Farragut High School has plenty of parking spaces.” Pointing out that West End Avenue has a 25 mph speed limit and a school zone probably wouldn’t be a benefit, Smith added, “We could look at maybe striping crosswalks on the side roads coming off of West End [Avenue]. It would give the drivers a better visual cue.” However, “During peak hours, when students are walking in that area, my observation is you can’t go faster than 25 [mph],” Smith added. “Speed humps are the best thing that happened to Farragut High School,” Wickman said about humps along Lendon Welch Way, adding she’d also like to see them on West End Avenue.

the Knoxville Ronald McDonald House, said. Children ages 12 and younger and in costume are invited to “trick or treat” around the walking trail in the park, Chelsey Riemann, public relations coordinator with the town of Farragut, said. Last year’s event drew about 1,400 to the park. “Local businesses, community groups and Town volunteers will hand out treats, provide games with prizes, assist with cookie decorating and serve refreshments,” Riemann said. “It’s just the most fun familyoriented event I can think of,”
Beverly said. She invites everyone to come out, have fun and help the Ronald McDonald House. The Town has partnered with Knoxville Ronald McDonald House since 2000. Riemann said the event helps Ronald McDonald House collect essential items it needs to continue dayto-day operations. “It just means the world to us since [Ronald McDonald House] exists solely on kindness and generosity of the public,” Beverly said. “Every gift makes a difference.” While the Freaky Friday event is free, participants will be asked to donate one of the following items for the Ronald McDonald House:
• Food items, which include individually wrapped chips, crackers [cheese-and-peanut butter varieties], snack cakes, granola bars, mayonnaise, canned chicken, tuna, chicken broth, creamed soups, pie filling and fruit cups; • Household items, such as kitchen-sized and large trash bags and Styrofoam coffee cups; and • Gift cards to grocery/hardware stores and gas stations. Cash donations also will be accepted, Beverly said. Collection stations will be located next to the cookie-decorating station and next to the entrance from the Harrison Road parking lot.

guestview: Gov. Bill Haslam
I could not believe my eyes as I watched the TV news on an immigration rally at the Washington Mall — one the president closed along with the Veteran’s Memorial and many other things too numerous to list. It is unbelievable that a president would try to cause as much pain as possible on the citizens of this great nation just to ensure his agenda. If ordinary citizens caused comparable mischief and pain to other citizens, we would end up behind bars. We must elect congressional representatives and presidents who believe in balanced budgets and a reliable program to pay down our national debt. Don and Virginia Bitz Farragut
We’ve set a new goal in Tennessee — to be the fastest improving state in the United States when it comes to teacher pay. We’re asking our students to be the fastest improving in the nation in education achievement, and Bill the data is Haslam showing Tennessee that we’re making real Governor progress. Teachers are the single most important factor in student achievement, and higher accountability for teachers and proven results should be met with better rewards. For far too long, our state has ranked near the bottom in educational achievement. But the
progress we’re making is measurable, and it comes from a lot of hard work, extra hours and more than likely money from our teachers’ own pockets for basic materials. During our administration’s first years in office, the state has seen three consecutive years of growth in Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program results, including the largest TCAP gains in Tennessee history last year. There are nearly 91,000 more students on grade-level in math and more than 50,000 more on grade-level in science than in 2010. And Tennessee is only one of two states making double-digit gains in high school graduation rates. To me, one of the most fulfilling achievements is that the gap between low-income students and their peers is shrinking. During the past three years in working with the General Assembly, we’ve increased education funding by more than $400 million, and we’ve committed $130 million in new, recurring funds for teacher salaries, meaning an aver-
age of $50,000 per year for Tennessee teachers. In that time, the average teacher pay in Tennessee has improved at twice the national average. We know that the jobs of the future are going to require a more highly educated, better trained workforce, so one of the most important things we can do is to ensure a highly trained teacher is in front of every classroom, and what we pay them matters. This is a long-term goal, and I think it is one of the most important ones we’ve taken on. We are committed to investing in our educators and working in partnership with the General Assembly and our local school districts to examine where we are every year, track our progress against other states and make investment decisions that will move Tennessee forward. I look forward to making this goal a reality. It will be good for our teachers, our students, and the future of education in Tennessee.
allowing secondary living quarter buildings in existing residential zones, there would be pitch forks lined up at City Hall. Negotiations may be ongoing for a compromise resolution only covering new residential areas, which would provide face saving, recognition of HUD objectives, feel good public action and support of the Land Use program. I fear that might just be the camel
with its nose in the tent. If it’s a bad idea for existing residentials, it’s even worse for new residential areas of an unknown future. It may be that the BOMA and FMPC are trying to find a way to pacify Alderman [Bob] Markli, the driving force behind Resolution PC-13-09 and Ordinance 13-23, in association with former Community Development
director Ruth Hawk and it also appears Palmer. I hope this is not the case because there is no shame for a public figure to have an idea near to his heart rejected by a community that holds dear its feelings that its residential heart is its rock foundation. Ken Frazer Farragut
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT-RESOLUTION PC-13-09: I would like to know what or who is keeping this amendment alive. It would allow the addition of accessory dwelling units on single family, residentially zoned property. At its Aug. 15 meeting, the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission took a consensus poll showing no FMPC interest in proceeding with Resolution PC-13-09, which would approve the addition of a second dwelling on a residential property. Town assistant administrator Gary Palmer stated that a consensus poll was insufficient and by ordinance a formal recom-
mendation to [the Board of Mayor and Aldermen] was required. He thus brought resolution PC-13-09 to the Sept. 19 commission meeting, along with another voting document titled “Report to the Planning Commission” dated Sept. 19. This latter document’s last sentence says “I recommend the FMPC again consider the ADU Ordinance and formally vote on Resolution PC-13-09,” followed by space to check “Succeeds or Fails.” Even more startling is the resolution itself in which Mr. Palmer writes a final sentence — “the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission hereby recommends approval to the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen of an ordinance- …”. How did all these approvals follow a board consensus not to proceed any further with this resolution? It is difficult to document all of this because, unbelievably, the meeting notes for the Aug. 15 meeting do not record what was said. However the video does record everything said, including the consensus. Unfortunately, there are no meeting notes for Sept. 19. Its hard to believe that this horribly bad proposal is still alive as shown by its appearance on the FMPC agenda for Oct. 17. Doesn’t anyone have a silver bullet or stake by which we might finish off this demon? I have the impression that if BOMA tried to proceed with

I hope this message saves one life. • Concerning the potential decision for the town of Farragut to reopen discussion about the ban of guns in our parks, we do not believe this ban should be lifted. A survey was done, the majority of Farragut residents do not want the ban lifted — 55-45 percent. In addition, the Knox County Sheriff’s Department [sic] has statistics that show there have been no incidents involving violence in our parks. There have been car break-ins, this has nothing to do with visitors in the park requiring a gun
to protect themselves. If anything, if someone has a gun in their car that’s what’s going to cause a problem. We do not want Farragut to even revisit this issue because there is no issue. • To the town of Farragut, you do a great job around Town. We were driving through Pleasant Forest cemetery off Concord Road the other day. We noticed the cemetery is so well taken care of, but you guys really need to pressure wash the white fence surrounding the cemetery. Editor’s Note: Pleasant Forest cemetery is not maintained by the town of Farragut. It is operated by a trust with a board of directors. • I wanted to say something
about the [person] that didn’t trust the people at the Kroger store. I have shopped there for many, many years and they are kind, hard-working people. I hated to see them insulted that way. • I was just curious about the parent who was concerned about homeless people wandering around in Farragut. Her 15-yearold daughter has more brains than the parents have. I’m just curious, who in their right mind, in this day and time, would allow a 15-year-old girl to walk anywhere by herself? I’m just curious, did this parent go to sleep in the 50s and sleep three times as long as Rip Van Winkle? As far as that goes, I see older girls and
women running alone in deserted areas like the south end of Campbell Station Road. Do they think they can defend themselves against a full car of thugs on drugs? Remember, like the poor kid who was shot in cold blood in Farragut just a few years ago for a dollar bill and his watch. Just curious.

Smith youngest ORNL intern
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
William Walker Smith, 13, did not think he would be chosen as an intern at Oak Ridge National Laboratories because he was too young. As it turned out, this summer he was the youngest intern in ORNL’s history. That opportunity came about as a result of Walker’s participation in Science Saturdays while he was a seventh-grader at Sacred Heart Cathedral School. Science Saturdays is focused on eighth- through 12th-graders but there were some younger students who attended, said Julia Abbott, Ph.D., program manager of the Science Education Programs with Oak Ridge Associated Universities, which developed Science Saturdays. “I think it’s really cool he earned it [the internship],” Abbott said about Walker. “He wrote a great essay and he did very well with his internship. “His internship mentor was very pleased with his work, and he got a lot out of it, too,” Abbott added. Science Saturdays is a collaboration by ORAU and ORNL giving middle and high school students an opportunity to attend lectures by ORNL scientists and take part in hands-on activities. This spring, an essay competition was added. “You had to write an essay proposing a unique solution to a sciSee INTERN on Page 10A

Farragut fifth-grader to be in Buddy Walk video ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Austin Hankins, the 10-year-old son of Greg and Missy Hankins of Farragut, has grown up on the water. “He was on the water probably by 2 years old,” his mother said. Recently, a photo of Austin on the water was selected as one of 200 nationwide photo entries to be featured in a video as part of the National Down Syndrome Society’s annual Times Square Video presentation. The event is scheduled for Sept. 21 in New York City. “I thought that was quite an honor,” Missy said about her son’s photo being chosen. “I think this is an encouragement to expectant
parents,” she said. “I think it shows a brighter future than what they might conceive themselves.” Every city has a Buddy Walk event, but New York City has the largest, she said. The society, a non-profit organization with more than 375 affiliates, kicks off Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October with the video. Missy said she was asked by local Buddy Walk organizers to submit photos of Austin for the video. “They chose 200 photos out of 1,100 from across the country,” she said. The boy’s photo was chosen because of his ability on the water, she noted. See BUDDY on Page 10A
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutprsss.com
If he’s talented enough to teach sailing to U.S. Naval Academy Midshipmen, R.G. Smithson is more than qualified to oversee adult sailing lessons in Concord. One of 12 nationwide instructors during a three-week summer program at U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., “We get a group of about 20 to 25 ensigns … we teach the ensigns how to teach sailing to the plebes,” said Smithson, a U.S. Sailing certified keelboat instructor at Concord Yacht Club, off Northshore Road along Fort Loudoun Lake. Smithson is coordinator for the club’s new three-hour Adult Learn to Sail clinic Saturday, Oct. 19. This class is for the first 12 aspiring sailors age 18 or older to sign up: $50 for club members, $75 for non-members. Using three Catalina 22 sailboats for two clinics — participants can choose either the 9 a.m. or 1 p.m. session — this clinic is a feel-out session for those unsure if they would want to commit the time and expense to sign up for the club’s threeweek U.S. Sailing Certification Program, which CYC holds twice yearly, costing $425. Saturday’s class “is for people See SAIL on Page 9A
Two Farragut High School students earn special internships ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Nine Farragut High School students recently took part in the Science Saturdays program, and two of those participants won a summer internship at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Aniruddha Perumalla and Melissa Yu were among the interns chosen. “I was happy I was chosen as an
intern,” said Yu, the 16-year-old daughter of Anyu and Luchuan Mi Yu. While she said the experience was intimidating at first, she loved it. “I learned to use a lot of tools people use in computer science,” she said. She worked with Dr. Kalyan Perumalla, her mentor at ORNL. Meanwhile, Perumalla, the 15year-old son of Kalyan and Vijaya Perumalla, said his internship was
on automotive propulsion systems. With mentor Dr. Robert Wagner, he analyzed various engine types and compared their fuel economies. “The internship was beneficial because it was the first time I was exposed to a research environment and how things are done at the national lab level,” Permulla said. Perumalla and Yu joined five other FHS students: Diane and
Gabriel Kim, Zach MacIntyre, Maya Subbanna and Nitya Subbanna; Farragut Middle School students Cynthia Okoye and Delaney Weller; and students from other schools at ORNL for the Science Saturdays last school year. Science Saturday is a program that started Feb. 20, said Julia Abbott, Ph.D., program manager of Science Education Programs at Oak Ridge Associated
Universities. The idea for the program was collaboration between ORNL and ORAU. Abbott explained ORAU developed the program and ORNL came up with the funding for it. The program is open to any student who wants to drive to the sessions on a Saturday morning. “The goal was to bring in scientists from ORNL to talk about See ORNL on Page 12A

Sugar-free lollygagging The definition of lollygag is to dawdle or fool around. I couldn’t find an origin of the word, but I’m inclined to think it was coined by a true lollygagger. It just sounds like a word a lollygagger would come up with. I think the inventor of the word was British and perhaps he was happily sucking Pam on a lolly- Young pop, lying on Make it a bed of green grass, Fun! looking up into a summer sky, seeing clouds shaped like horses or frogs, enjoying the
flavor he’d chosen, when the candy got too close to that dangly thing we have that hangs down in the back of our throats, and gagged himself. Stopped abruptly from a most enjoyable experience, he thought, 'Whoa, I just lollygagged myself.' His mother, thinking he was mowing the lawn, looked out the kitchen window and saw her son coughing and ran out to him. "Are you okay Son?" she asked in a worried tone. "Yeah, I’m fine, this lolly just gagged me." "How can a lolly gag you?" "Well, you have to lie back and daydream and not pay any attention to anything else." "You do a lot of that." "Yeah, it’s fun, but this lollypop stopped my fun.” “So don’t lollygag anymore."
If you’ll note, the mother did NOT say “Don’t daydream anymore.” Just don’t gag yourself anymore with a sucker. Now we’re stuck with a negative connotation of the word lollygag. Let’s stop it right now! I don’t have to tell you not to shove a sucker too far down your throat, but I think many need to hear that it’s perfectly fine to lollygag. I’m a joyful lollygagger. I admit it. Most SHEs (Sidetracked Home Executives) are. Lollygagging is good, in moderation, because it allows your mind be open to new ideas. Of course you can abuse your gift and lollygag yourself into shirking your responsibilities and postponing deadlines, but when used with wisdom it can be an avenue to success. BOs (born organized) don’t allow any time for lollygagging

because they adhere to a rigid schedule. They feel safe and comfortable looking at a calendar with all the squares filled up with things to do, places to go and people to see. They thrive on filled up squares. SHEs, on the other hand, love to see blank squares on a calendar. We love the blank square because it represents time for lollygagging. In you desire to be organized don’t ever desert the talent you have for lollygagging. It’s a gift and you must include time for it in your routines. When I got organized it was so nice to learn that by being organized I actually had more time to lollygag! I built into my routine, time to just do nothing.

Town proclaims Sept. 17, ‘Bill Glass Day’ ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Bill Glass made a stop to stay at Clarity Pointe Knoxville during his multi-state Flowers for Mom walk. Glass talked about the purpose of his walk. “To raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association, raise awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association, educate the public, as well as take in all the stories that I’m hearing, the hundreds, if not thousands of stories of people that have been affected by this disease, families that have been affected by this disease, and I take these stories, and I relay these stories to these Congressmen that I’m talking to,” he said. Glass began the walk Aug. 5, he said. During the walk, he will travel from Chicago to Atlanta and see six states along the way. He estimated the length of the walk. “I had estimated 750 miles, but with all the wrong turns, it’s probably going to be closer to 1,000,” he said. “But I walk about 20, 25 miles a day.” Glass, 37, grew up in Carbondale, Ill., but has lived in Chicago the last 10 years, he said. He is going to Atlanta because that’s where his mother, Eileen, is. She suffers from Alzheimer’s. “My dad died when I was 3 months old,” Glass said. “A year
later, I had a 12-year-old brother, the firstborn of our family, he passed away as well. Mom remarried. She’s had a rough life all of her life. Every so often, she’d be down, and I would, as a kid, I’d run out. I grew up on a small farm. I would run out and just grab flowers, and I’d always bring flowers to her. Even if they were weeds, she’d still keep them on the dining room table.” A send-off event for Glass took place Tuesday, Sept. 17, at Clarity Pointe Knoxville. Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill read a proclamation which declaring the date Bill Glass Day in the Town. Glass said he is “talking to as many Congressional offices as I come upon.” “I’ve been camping the whole way,” he added. “I’ve stayed in a few hotel rooms, which have been donated to me. Clarity Pointe here in Knoxville, they were kind enough to put me up, a brand new facility, amazing people here.” He said he walks about nine to 10 hours per day during the walk. “I have a donation webpage: act.alz.org/goto/flowersformom,” Glass said. “From there, you can donate, read my story, read a little bit more detail about what I’m doing, and you can also find my Facebook page and follow my route along the way, to everywhere I’ve been, everywhere I’ve spoke at, everybody I’ve spoken to.”

FHS band students raise $7,749 ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
About 60 Farragut High School Band students left the school the morning of Sept. 14 ready to “blitz” area neighborhoods to raise funds for the band program by selling fruit. After Blitz Day, Fruit Sale chairman Stephanie Nelson said she was very pleased with how the day went. “I'm very excited about this excellent start for the FHS Marching Admirals’ annual fruit sale,” Nelson said. “Our 17 teams brought in $7,749, increasing our sales yet again, as well as pumping up the kids’ sales.” The students teamed up during registration, then the 17 teams went door to door to ask for support through citrus fruit sales, which is part of the Band Boosters’ annual fund-raising drive. FHS’ band students will be selling the fruit through Nov. 22. “It’s going pretty good,” Nelson said while registering teams on Blitz Day Saturday. “It feels hectic.” She said 12 teams had already pre-registered. Then on Saturday, five more teams were added. “It’s wonderful,” Elaine Smith,

Booster mother, said about Blitz Day. “My oldest son was also in band. I also had that experience with him. It’s a great fundraiser.” Saturday, Smith was there for her son, Noah Hobson, a freshman. “I’m excited to go out and do it,” Tali Graham, a freshman at Farragut High School, said about the event. “It’s going to be fun.” “We do this every year, so it’s not a shock for students to be walking through neighborhoods,” band director Keith Clupper said. “This is the largest fundraiser we do annually. It accounts for nearly half of the Band Boosters’ annual budget, so it’s a major deal for us here.” The team with the highest sales for that day, winning the competition for $200, was Team 2, which consisted of Will Misner and Lauren Lundywith. They had total sales of $795, Nelson said. Before leaving the band room on Blitz Day, every student had to make sure they had a packet, team number and to confirm the neighborhoods they would be canvassing. Nelson said every team had to have a parent driver, and students had to get their money at know I was the youngest. My mentor, Hai Ah Nam, said she thought I was the youngest she had but didn’t realize I was the youngest ORNL had.” “I suspected he might be because the Science Saturday project opened up the possibility for him to go,” his mother, Katie Smith, said. “I am very proud of the hard work and creativity Walker displayed in his science fair project and the essay he wrote to win the internship at ORNL,” said Walker’s father, Michael K. Smith, Ph.D.

“It was very exciting and daunting to be taking my 13-year-old through security gates and to locked buildings, where only he had a pass to get in!” Michael said. The boy said he was shocked he was chosen. He remembered he was at school when his mother told him the news. “I sprinted outside and told my science teacher and she said, ‘Whoa!’” Walker learned computer programming as an intern. “You normally don’t learn programming until you are in high
school or college,” he said. His mentor, a computational nuclear physicist, thought programming should be taught at a younger age. She found a learning tool, Code Spells, a game that teaches programming. “She wanted to implement these learning tools in middle school curriculum and saw an opportunity to test it on me,” he said. Walker evaluated the tools and then gave a PowerPoint presentation. The internship experience was great exposure, Katie said. “I just wish more kids could

Despite Austin’s having been born with Down syndrome, taking part in water sports came naturally. “He’s fearless, and he will try anything,” his mother said. “I like the waves,” said Austin, a fifth-grader at Farragut Intermediate School. “I like to be on my knees and feet.” Austin said he likes tubing, surfing, swimming and wakeboarding. Missy said her family lives on the lake, where her daughters, Lauren and Morgan, also grew up enjoying water sports. “When Austin was born, there was no question we would raise him with our love of the water,” his mother said. “We wanted him to do everything we taught his sisters. He loves the water and all the activities that go with it. “We’re very proud of him,” Missy added. “He’s such a normal little boy to us. “There’s a misconception about children with Down syndrome that they aren’t as capable of doing things as children without Down syndrome. “People with Down syndrome are capable of accomplishing many things when given the chance,” she said. “Austin is a funny, bright and daring little boy who lives life to the fullest.” have the experience at a young age,” she added. Walker has decided on a career field because of his experience at ORNL. He had a chance to talk to lots of scientists, such as Christine Nattrass, a relativistic heavy ion physicist who collaborates with the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. “Now I think I would really like to do what she does,” Walker said. “I want him to do what interests him and what he’s passionate about,” Katie Smith said.

Lisa Sulewski Infatuation with animals, medicine
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
How extreme was Lisa Sulewski’s combined infatuation with animals and medicine as a child? “I can remember in junior high and high school going to our veterinarian who treated our animals and they would let me watch surgery,” said Sulewski, a veterinarian at Concord Veterinary Hospital for seven years. “I was 12 when I started going to witness [surgery].” Despite going into labor a month premature with her first child, Caden, now 4, Sulewski’s sense of compassion and responsibility toward a grieving client wasn’t altered. “I had a close client of mine whose dog was older and not doing well, and we were contemplating whether it was his time for euthanasia or not,” she recalled. Overnight before the scheduled appointment that next afternoon, “My water broke,” Sulewski said. However, in the middle of what would become a 24-hour period of labor, “I felt so bad about missing the appointment. … so I called her,” Sulewski said. “… Of course, she was like, ‘you didn’t have to do this.’ … I could tell she was touched.” “I didn’t want her to get here and then find out that I wasn’t here.” An Ohio native, “I just loved Tennessee,” Sulewski said of her trek south. After earning her undergraduate degree at the University of Findley near Toledo, “My husband [Joe], he had done some work in Georgia, and he said he

wanted to move south, and so we just decided to move here and go to the vet school.” Coming from The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine straight to Concord, “I wanted to be a vet since I was so young that I don’t even know what triggered it,” Sulewski said. “I can remember as a little bitty girl bringing home little wildlife, baby birds that I would find, a squirrel.” When going to the vet as a child, “You know the pamphlets you see, I used to collect all of them and read through them,” Sulewski said. With a passion to “diagnose and treat,” Sulewski gives advice to young aspiring veterinarians. “This is what I tell all the high school students that come through here: it’s not just about the love of animals — of course that has to be there — but you also have to have a love of medicine as well,” Sulewski said. “My love is in medicine. It’s like being a detective, a sick animal comes in and figuring out what’s wrong with him. Trying to get all the different clues with the blood work and X-rays and just getting all the pieces together.”

their research in the lab and give a presentation about their work,” she said. “Then, there would be hands-on activities to accompany the presentation. “I liked the lectures a lot,” Yu added. “I learned about scientific research and what’s going on at ORNL.” Perumalla said the lectures exposed him to areas of science and engineering to which he had never been exposed before. Yu noted in school, students think the science they are learning has no application outside of the classroom. But she noted, “You go to these lectures and see science is not just learning from books; there are practical applications and the folks at ORNL are doing a lot of stuff with it. “The other part of the program was if the students attend four of the first seven sessions, then they qualify to compete for an internship with the lab,” Abbott said. They were asked to write an essay about the “Grand Engineering Challenges.” Ten students were chosen from those essays. While Yu wrote about nuclear safeguards and proposed a solution for nuclear proliferation, Perumalla wrote about how to improve urban infrastructure, transportation in particular. While the Science Saturdays program was aimed at eighth through 12th-graders, Abbott noted there were some younger students who attended. One of those was William Walker Smith of Knoxville, who also earned an internship.

Matlock Tire celebrates 60 years Anniversary a six-week observance
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
“All of us grew up in the business,”said Jimmy Matlock, coowner of Matlock Tire Service and Auto Repair with his son, Joe Matlock. Jimmy Matlock worked there since his youth, and he now partners with Joe to keep the legacy going. The family business, which started 60 years ago, has evolved with four locations: Farragut, Maryville, Lenoir City and Athens. Matlock Tire Service and Auto Repair is celebrating that legacy by observing its 60th anniversary over the next six weeks, Jimmy Matlock said. “It’s a great source of pride to me,” Joe Matlock said about the anniversary. “In 60 years, it all comes back to serving people,” Jimmy said. “Despite the changes in cars, tires and equipment used. It still comes down to treating people with fairness, integrity and professionalism.” Jimmy Matlock’s father, Joe Matlock, started the business Nov. 14, 1953. “We started at Eaton Crossroads [at Highway 70] and have since moved the store a little further out to Lenoir City,” Jimmy said. “We started as an Esso Service Station.” He recalled his grandfather was in the hardware business, so it came natural for his father to work in a service-oriented business. While the elder Joe liked to be around cars, he did not aspire to work in hardware.

Joe Matlock, left, and father, state Rep. Jimmy Matlock (R-District 21), stand inside Matlock Tire Service and Auto Repair’s Farragut location.
“When father had come out of high school, he started selling retread tires and operated a fullservice station,” Jimmy said. Between 1953 and 1962, Jimmy said the Esso Station was a busy place, but in 1962, the interstate took the traffic away from Highway 70. “We had to transition from a service station to a full-time tire business,” Jimmy recalled. Also in 1962, Jimmy’s mother joined the business, and his sisters and he would subsequently work in the business as well. Jimmy’s father died in 1982 of a massive heart attack. By that time, his sisters had left the business but Jimmy and 25 “loyal, dedicated” employees kept Matlock Tire operating, he recalled. Now, the business has 59 additional employees, making up a staff of 84.
“The Matlock family use the term ‘family’ not to just mean Joe and I,” Jimmy said, explaining he means the staff, many of whom have been with the business for many years. “Seven people have worked with us for 25 years, and five have worked over 30 years,” he said. “Three have worked more than 35 years. “Our family is the people, not just the blood family,” he added. Jimmy said they opened up their second location, in Farragut, in 1980, and then followed suit with their Athens location in 1991 and Maryville store in 1995. They added an auto parts distribution center in 2005. Joe makes the third generation with Matlock Tire. “It’s an honor to be able to carry this torch to the third generation and try to maintain the reputation my grandfather and
father started before me,” he said. Through the years, Jimmy has seen vehicles, training and equipment change. “Most of the vehicles are computerized,” he said. “We had to be better trained; we had to have more technical mechanics, and much better equipment. “One of the largest changes has been the role of ladies,” he said. The increase of women in the workforce meant an increase in women as customers. That led to customizing the store for women. “We were the first ones to recognize how important female purchases were and are,” he said. Neal Yates, a long-time veteran with Matlock Tire, said he has seen people using tires longer and holding on to their cars longer as well.
First Watch set to open along Parkside Drive ■ ROBBY O’DANIEL
rodaniel@farragutpress.com
First Watch will open at 11682 Parkside Drive near Publix Oct. 21. Capstone Concepts LLC is franchisee of the location. The Parkside Drive location is the first of three or more Knoxvillearea First Watch locations under franchisee Capstone Concepts LLC. James Geib, chief operating officer of Capstone Concepts LLC, got interested in First Watch through his love of the restaurant. “I got involved with it because I spent 21 years with Arby’s, and I was a regional vice president for them in Cleveland, Ohio,” Geib said. “And my wife and I started eating at First Watch in Cleveland and absolutely fell in love with it. It’s almost like a cult following. And we started eating there every weekend, and we came down here and tried to find a breakfast place to eat that was similar to it and couldn’t find it.” As a customer, what did Geib

love about First Watch? “The product quality, the atmosphere, the way the employees made you feel, and really, it’s not First Watch’s diner. It becomes your diner, your place,” he said. “It’s almost like a second home. I’ll tell you a story: I went
to a First Watch in Lexington, Ky., that had only been open for about six months and was talking to a customer and I said, ‘How often do you come here?’ And she said, ‘three days a week.’ I said, ‘Why?’ She goes, ‘Well it’s like I’m having breakfast with my family every
time I come in here.’ And that’s the atmosphere and the way you feel when you’re in here eating. It’s a neat environment.” It’s the kitchen that makes First Watch stand out, Geib said. “Everything that is served here is freshly made,” he said. “It’s made in the kitchen. It’s scratchmade. They don’t buy anything that’s pre-made, all the way from the whipped butter. They don’t buy whipped butter. They make the whipped butter. And I did five weeks of training in Nashville, and I was amazed at the time and prep that it takes to get the ingredients to the customer. So I would say the quality of food is far superior to any other breakfast chain out there.” The breakfast-brunch-lunch restaurant will be open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. every day, he said. “Their waffles are fantastic, and their pancakes are fantastic,” Geib said. “And their Reuben sandwiches, it’s a very, very good Reuben sandwich. Then they have soups and salads, depending on the time of the year and the offerings.”

KEN LAY Correspondent
Farragut High School's volleyball team had one mission Tuesday night at Karns High School – to win the Region 2AAA Tournament. The Lady Admirals accomplished that mission by sweeping rival Bearden 25-15, 26-4,
25-20. “Our kids were on a mission tonight,” Farragut coach Susan Davidson said. “I was really pleased with the way we played. “We played well against two awesome programs tonight and those programs are coached by two amazing coaches.” The Lady Ads (45-8), who
lost a the District 4-AAA Tournament Championship to the Lady Bulldogs, were able to pick up some revenge in the fifth meeting between the two teams this season. The Lady Ads had won three of the previous four. “We just knew that we were coming back and we knew that we weren't going to lose
tonight,” said FHS senior setter Tessa Watson, who finished the match with 58 assists, 14 digs and three aces. “We just knew that we had to do what we needed to do and we knew that we had to get it done.” Farragut, the District 4-AAA runner-up, opened the night with an easy 25-6, 25-13, 25-16 victory over District 3 champ
Karns. And early, it appeared as though the Lady Admirals would make short work of the Lady Bulldogs (42-9). The Lady Ads opened an 11-3 lead in the first set and would cruise to an easy victory. That opening set, however, See CHAMPS on Page 6B
Lady Admirals prove to much for Rebels ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Maryville proved it could play with mighty Farragut during a regular season girls soccer draw, 1-1. However, the Class AAA state championship contending Lady Admirals had not Lady Admirals 4 lost a Maryville 0 game to an East Tennessee team since
the freshmen year of FHS’s eight seniors, which dates back to 2010. It took Farragut about 25 minutes to create constant offense pressure during District 4-AAA tournament semifinal play Tuesday, Oct. 15, as the fourthseeded Lady Rebels (12-3-4) hung tough. But junior forward Emma Jeter’s nifty 25-yard goal from in front with just 24 seconds left in the half, which broke a scoreless
tie, sent top-seeded Farragut (14-2-3) on its way. “I think it was a really good motivator … it was getting kind of frustrating that we couldn’t score,” said Jeter, who would add a second insurance goal with 11:17 to play in a 4-0 home victory. “That really took a lot of energy out of us, and the young players didn’t react well to it,” MHS head coach Bill Stooksbury said about the late first-half goal, as
the Lady Rebels came into the game “with eight or nine straight shutouts,” he added. Early second half goals from Lady Ads senior midfielder Joanda Parchman, a roughly 30yard sailing shot in front, followed by senior forward Katie Cloud scoring from about 20 yards out on the left side, provided a comfortable margin. Katie Beuerlein, Farragut senior midfielder, added one assist. As for the shutout, “I think the
defense played really well,” said Maddie Strnad, Farragut senior goalkeeper, who faced only two shots-on-goal according to FHS statistics (22-2 Lady Ads edge). Farragut hosts No 2 seed and unbeaten Hardin Valley Academy (15-0-4) in the 4-AAA tourney championship game. That game, tentative set to begin at 7 p.m., tonight, Thursday, Oct. 17, could be moved to Friday See LADY ADS on Page 6B

Eddie Courtney saw what he needed to see as his Farragut High School football team notched a 48-7 homecoming victory over Heritage Friday night at FHS’s Bill Clabo Field. “I think Admirals 48 we played pretty Heritage 7 good football for three-and-a-half quarters,” said Courtney, the longtime Admirals coach. “I really have to be proud of our kids for coming in and not taking Heritage lightly. “They can do some things to hurt you out of the Wing-T. I have to commend our kids for coming
in and working hard all week.” The Mountaineers’ offense may pose match-up problems, but on this night it was Farragut that gave Heritage (1-6 overall, 0-4 in District 4AAA) fits. And it all started early as the Ads (4-3, 3-1) clicked in the opening q u a r t e r. Farragut Thomas scored 21 points over the first 12 minutes and cruised to an easy district win. Heritage took the ball first and gained eight yards on second
down before Juan Aranda sacked Mountaineers’ quarterback RT Byrd on third down to stop the drive and force a punt. Farragut then took possession and engineered a five-play, 61play drive that was capped by Tanner Thomas’ 5-yard touchdown plunge. Connor Phillipy’s extra point gave the Admirals a 7-0 lead with 7 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the opening stanza. Farragut took a 14-0 lead a short time later when Bryan Phillips hit Billy Williams with a 22-yard scoring strike. Mitch White then extended Farragut’s advantage to 21-0 with a 3-yard touchdown run See ADMIRALS on Page 8B

KEN LAY Correspondent
The first round of the District 4-AAA girls soccer tournament brought a short workday for Hardin Valley Academy. The second-seeded Lady Hawks had to play just one half against William Blount. The match was brief but Hardin Valley (14-0-4) had little difficulty scoring in a 9-0 victory. “This was really an unfortunate situLady Hawks 9 ation for t h e m , ” William Blount 0 L a d y Hawks head coach Mike McLean said of the Lady Governors, who due to injuries and no-shows dressed just 11 players in a game called at halftime. “They’re on Fall Break and they had some girls who didn’t show up after they made a commitment to be on a team. “It was a Saturday morning game, so you really didn’t know what to expect.” McLean had to like what he saw as it was a long day that ended a tedious season for William Blount (3-11). William Blount was the tournament’s seventh seed. Heritage, which finished eighth, forfeited all the games on its district schedule and opted not to play top-seeded Farragut in the tournament’s first round. The Lady Hawks answered an early wake-up call and scored often against junior goalkeeper Sara Sevigny, the Lady
Governors’ third-string net minder. William Blount starter Mariah Budnar and backup Amber Almond suffered seasonending injuries late in the 2013 campaign. Freshman Paige Hewitt scored Hardin Valley’s first two goals from close range. Hewitt scored twice in the first five minutes. Her first marker came in the opening minute. She tallied again four minutes later to give the Lady Hawks a 2-0 lead. “I’m just glad that we came out and played hard,” Hewitt said. “I’m just glad that we didn’t come out and play down to the competition. “We’re just really excited to compete.” Hardin Valley, which shared the regular-season championship with the Lady Admirals and lost the top spot due to the goal-differential tie-breaker in its first season in the district, extended its advantage to 3-0 on a goal by Gabby Powers in the 12th minute. Powers, a sophomore, also tallied in the 31st, 37th and 40th minutes respectively. “We wanted to be consistent and we wanted to come out here and take care of business,” said Powers, who transferred from Webb after last season. “We took care of business but we also wanted to show respect for our opponent. “We just had to get another game under our belts.” See LADY HAWKS on Page 5B

Hawks deal blow to Dawgs’ playoff chances ■
TONY MANILLA Correspondent
The song remained the same for the Bearden Bulldogs at Hardin Valley Academy Friday evening. The Hawks (4-3, 2-2 District 4-AAA) took advantage of missed opportunities by the Bulldog Hawks 33 offense, using two Bearden 7 spectacular second-quarter plays to cruise to a 33-7 win in a vital District 4AAA contest. After being pinned on their own 1-yard line, the Bulldogs’ (25, 2-2) offense sputtered to a three-and-out (one of four on the evening) and a precarious situation for tailback/punter Malachi Horton. Hardin Valley’s Matt Brewer burst through the line of scrimmage and blocked Horton’s kick, which Brewer was scooped up by sophomore Dominique Amos and returned 10 yards for a score that put the Hawks in control 12-0. “I was real pleased with that. We thought we could go for a block this week and our coaching staff went out and handled it,” Wes Jones, Hardin Valley head coach, said. The Dawgs’ offense couldn’t respond, going three-and-out yet again and their momentum seemingly shot. The Hawks then duped the Dawgs on their ensuing possession with a perfectly executed
double-pass play, as fullback Joe Underwood flipped the ball to wide open tight end Jack DeFur, who strolled 49 yards into the endzone as Hardin Valley took a 19-0 lead into halftime. However, the score line didn’t give justice what was a highly competitive first half. After an opening drive touchdown by Hawks tailback Jackson Jordan (177 yards rushing), Bearden needed an answer. The Bulldogs’ drive was spearheaded by a pair of bruising first down carries from Horton. Quarterback Xavier Johnson looked firmly in command, completing first down throws to his two favorite receivers Emad Aqqad and Matthew Marlow, as the Dawgs marched into Hardin Valley territory. But the Hawks’ defensive front bowed their necks and stonewalled Horton on a fourth-and-2, foiling a chance for BHS to seize back the momentum. The Dawgs again found themselves deep in Hardin Valley territory after a fair catch interference penalty gave them the ball at HVA’s 23-yard line. Another opportunity turned out to be more of the same, as Johnson watched his passed go off the fingertips of Horton and drop right into the hands of HVA’s Chris Thomas. “When you have two opportunities early in the red zone, you have to capitalize,” Johnson lamented after yet another frustrating night for the offense. Despite Johnson’s 38-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, time ran short on the Bulldogs, as the Hawks fed the ball to Jackson throughout the second half and chewed up the clock.
Though the Dawgs struggled to stop the run, the reality was that Hardin Valley’s big plays early on were simply too much to overcome. “That set the tone for the game. They scored on the possessions we didn’t, that gave them momentum early and we weren’t able to recover,” Johnson said. “We told our kids in the locker room that our playoffs have started right now. Every week is a must-win situation at this point. I was really proud of their effort,” Jones said. Wasted offensive chances have been sticking point all season long for the Dawgs, and may ultimately cost them the postseason, but not for a lack of effort. “I know these guys give their all in practice and in the games,” Johnson said. “Right now it’s about finding ourselves and finishing strong.” The senior quarterback knows a home victory over archrival Farragut Thursday (tonight) would be a perfect silver lining in what has otherwise been a tough season for the Dawgs, with chances of a postseason bid now out of their control. “We’re going to focus on next week and try to win a big rivalry game for students and alumni, and try to make them happy.”

tle pressure against the Lady Hawks’ defense. The Lady Governors couldn’t muster a quality scoring opportunity in the game. In fact, Jordan Beets, HVA’s all-state senior goalkeeper, only touched the ball once. That came late when she kicked the ball out of harm’s way. The Lady Hawks won the game easily and it was a day for the younger players to shine. That was no surprise to McLean, who said it was business as usual for his squad. “They’ve been scoring all year,” McLean said of his underclassmen.

The Lady Hawks, who ended No. 3 seed Bearden’s season 2-0 in the other 4-AAA semifinal game at HVA Tuesday, tied Farragut 2-2 on the road during the regular season. “I think we have a pretty good chance against the Lady Hawks,” Strnad said. “They were our first [district] game opening this year. And we’re a lot better than we were at the beginning of the season.” Both FHS and Hardin Valley are assured of Region 2-AAA semifinal berths, with the 4-AAA tourney champ hosting a win-orgo home region semifinal game next Tuesday, Oct. 22.
would be the only thing that would be easy in the title match. The Lady Ads, who will host a Section 1-AAA match tonight (October 17), found themselves behind early in the second set. The Lady Bulldogs, who will travel for a Sectional game tonight, opened leads of 15-11, 16-12, 19-15 and 24-19 before Farragut stormed back with seven consecutive points to claim the set. “In that second set, we just pulled together,” said Farragut junior Emma Mistead. “We were really focused and we proved that we showed up to win, “That win over Karns gave us the confidence that we needed. “It proved that we could come in here and win. I've never been prouder of a team than I am of this team tonight.” Milstead led Farragut with 11 kills, 48 assists, nine digs and four blocks. She and Watson have been team leaders for the Lady Ads all season but on this night, they got some help from senior Aditi Rengnekar, who finished with seven kills, three blocks and three digs for Farragut, which had to overcome a 13-9 deficit to win the championship and avenge the earlier loss to the Lady Bulldogs. Trailing 13-9, the Lady Ads scored seven consecutive points and opened 16-12 lead. Sarah Lorick, who played sparingly during the regular season, served up six consecutive points after the Lady Ads pulled to within 13-10 on a side-out. Lorick had an ace on that run and Farragut scored when the Lady Bulldogs, who entered Tuesday night's action as the defending Region 2-AAA Champions, were called for an overlap.
The Lady Ads went on to open a 19-15 advantage before Bearden scored on a side-out when Farragut was called for a double-hit violation. The Lady Admirals, however, rapidly regained the momentum and scored six of the next 11 points and claim the championship. Despite the loss, Lady Bulldogs coach David McGinnis, who saw one of his top middle blockers leave the game when Megen Chadwick suffered a leg injury, said he was pleased with his squad's effort. “We pushed them in every game,” he said. “I thought the girls really stepped up and played well,” McGinnis said. “In our first match [against Clinton], we played good defense and blocked. “Hopefully, Megen will be all right. I haven't heard anything about her yet. She's had shin splints all week. She's the second best middle blocker in the district behind my other one, Chesney McClellan.” In Chadwick's absence, sophomore Madi Matthews stepped in and made contributions. She was recently promoted from the junior varsity squad and didn't play in the district tournament. “I think everybody stepped up for us tonight,” said Bearden junior setter Carrie McGinnis, a 2012 all-state performer, who finished the title match 25 assists, nine points and two blocks. “I thought Madi came in and stepped up. “She played a great game.” McClellan had eight kills and three blocks for Bearden, which advanced to the title match with a 25-9, 25-13, 25-8 victory over the Lady Dragons.

Webb wins while Catholic, CAK suffer losses ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
It was a night of mixed results for the three area private high schools Friday, Oct. 11. Webb School of Knoxville extended its winning streak to four with Webb 38 a 38-6 n o n - d i s - Battleground Academy 6 trict victory over Battleground Academy. Knoxville Catholic High School suffered its first loss of the season. The Irish came up on the short end of a 61-40 decision against Anderson County in Clinton. Meanwhile, Christian Academy of Knoxville lost a close one to the B e l f r y, Ky. 27-21 at Warrior Stadium. Willoughby Webb darted to a fast start in its home victory over BGA when quarterback Johnny Chun threw a pair of firstquarter touchdown passes to tight end Liam Willoughby. The duo hooked up for a 30-yard score early and connected again later in the frame from 33 yards out. Chun completed 6-of-9 pass attempts, including the two scoring strikes that got the Spartans
(4-2) off to a blazing start. “I was really pleased with the way Johnny Chun played,” Webb head coach David Meske said. “That’s what we need from him. He was 6-of-9. “We need him to make plays and have a high completion percentage.” While Chun and Willoughby stole the show and helped the Spartans take control, it didn’t take long for the rest of the offense to join in and make life for BGA’s defense miserable. In the second quarter, senior and Tennessee Volunteers commitment Todd Kelly Jr. rushed for two touchdowns (from 2 and 5 yards out). He added another 5-yard scoring run in the third stanza. Robby Strachan added a 40yard field goal in the third quarter to give the Spartans a 38-0 lead. Webb lost its shutout when Battleground Academy scored a fourth-quarter touchdown. Meske said he was again pleased with his defense. “Defensively, that was probably the best game we played all year,” he said. While the Spartans continued their winning ways, Catholic had its six-game winning streak snapped by the Mavericks in Clinton. Anderson County (7-1) wasted little time showing why its
offense is regarded as one of the most versatile and potent attacks in the Knoxville area. The Mavericks darted to a 14-0 lead by the end of the first stanza as quarterback Tyler Hicks opened the scoring with an 18-yard sca-mper. He added a 5-yard scoring strike to Garrett Anderson County 61 J o h n s o n Fighting Irish 40 later in the frame. The Irish (6-1) pulled to within 14-7 when Logan Lacey scored from three yards out early in the second quarter. Hicks, however, would answer with his second touchdown pass, a 46-yarder to Bradley Strickland. Catholic’s Amari Rodgers made it 21-14 before Matt Fox, of Brown Anderson County, made it 28-14 before halftime. Fox would gash Catholic’s defense for 402 yards and four touchdown scampers. His scoring runs came from 80, 16, 61 and 8 yards out respectively. Hicks added two more rushing scores in the second half. The Mavs scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to
salt things away. “It was a close game until there were about five minutes left in the fourth quarter,” Irish head coach Steve Matthews said. “They were a better team than us on this night. “They were bigger, faster and stronger than we were. They’re a good team and we’re still learning. We’re young and we’re still trying to rebuild this football team. I thought we played better offensively.” Catholic did keep up with the Mavericks for a while. Zac Jancek threw a pair of touchdown passes to Harrison Huber and Eli Brown scored two rushing touchdowns for KCHS, who never led in the contest. Meanwhile at CAK, the twotime defending Class 3A state champion Warriors continued to struggle in 2013 against the Belfry Pirates, Kentucky’s topranked Class 3A team. Belfry (7-0) opened a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on the strength of two rushing touchdowns by Devonte Dari. CAK (2-5) would respond and tie the game at 14 by halftime as freshman quarterback Cole Smith, who was making his first start, threw a pair of scoring strikes to Phillip Nichols. The Pirates regained the lead in the third quarter on Dari’s third scoring run. CAK pulled even midway
through the fourth quarter when Smith, who replaced John Sharpe at quarterback, connected with Nichols for a third score. Smith was 22-for-34 and threw for 186 yards and three touchdowns. Belfry got the game-winner with eight seconds left in regulation on a Belfry 27 2-yard run by Sani Warriors 21 Warren. Rusty Bradley, CAK head coach, said he was pleased with his team’s effort. “We knew going in that we would have a little trouble defending their triple option because there’s just no way to simulate their speed in practice,” he said. “We struggled early but after that, I thought we Smith did a pretty good job. Belfry has great overall talent and I think they’ll go out and have a great rest of the season. “I thought our guys played hard and I was pleased with how the team rallied around Cole Smith. He did a really good job embracing the role.”

8B • FARRAGUTPRESS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2013
Admirals From page 3B
with 2:16 left. White had high hopes for the season but a foot injury sidelined him for two games. He was happy to get into the end zone. “It was great to score,” White said. “It sucks missing games, especially during my senior year, but I was glad to get back into the end zone. “The [offensive] line was great.” As special as the touchdown run was for White, it was just as big for his coach and teammates. Thomas, who racked up nearly 100 yards and has carried the
bulk of the running load in White’s absence, was the first to congratulate White. “He was there after I scored and he’s a great teammate,” White said. “He’s special. He’s a great kid and he has the potenWhite tial to rush for more yards than any back in Farragut history.” Courtney also was pleased to see White score. “That was good for him
because he’s worked hard to overcome [the foot injury],” Courtney said. Farragut’s offense sputtered a bit in the second quarter and Phillipy’s career-long 37-yard field goal was the only scoring in the second frame and, giving the home team the 24-0 advantage it enjoyed at halftime. The Ads got the ball first after the break. FHS took possession at its 41-yard line and marched 59 yards on seven plays. Phillips culminated the drive with a 25yard strike to Williams that made the score 31-0. “We came out and took care of business,” Phillips said. “We had a lot of holding penalties and we
have to clean those things up. “But we didn’t let up.” Heritage scored its lone touchdown with 8:08 remaining in the third quarter when Orlando Bledsoe found the end zone on a 59-yard scamper. The extra point by David Pickens pulled the Mountaineers to within 31-7. Thomas, a sophomore who finished with 96 yards, closed out the third-quarter scoring with a 1-yard plunge. In the fourth quarter, Phillipy kicked a 31-yard field goal to make the score 41-7. Farragut’s defense was dominant all night and it provided the exclamation point on the win when Justin Brabson recovered
a Heritage fumble and returned it 40 yards to the end zone. The Ads’ celebration didn’t last long and Williams quickly shifted his focus to tonight’s road game [Thursday, Oct. 17] against rival Bearden. The Bulldogs’ nabbed an overtime victory against Farragut last season and sent the Admirals into a tailspin. “It was great to get that ‘W’ tonight and it was great to see some younger guys play because they work so hard in practice,” Williams said. “But we all know what happened [against Bearden] last year and we all have a bitter taste in our mouths.”

down passes to senior tight end Billy Williams. Sophomore kicker Connor Phillipy kicked two field goals, including a career-long 37-yarder in the second stanza. Senior running back Mitch White, who has been plagued by a foot injury, also scored a touchdown. Farragut’s defense closed out the scoring when Justin Brabson returned a Mountaineers’ fumble 40 yards to the end zone. The Ads hit the road for the final time this season tonight. FHS will invade Bearden looking to avenge last season’s overtime loss to the Bulldogs. Meanwhile, HVA found itself in a must-win situation as it hosted Bearden Friday night.

The chase for farragutpress How the West was Won presented by 3 Minute Magic Carwash trophy took some twists and turns in Week 7. Farragut celebrated its homecoming by winning its second straight game. The Admirals routed Heritage 48-7. Hardin Valley Academy rebounded from three consecutive district losses with a dominating 33-7 home victory over Bearden. Knoxville Catholic went to Anderson County and suffered its first loss of the season. The Irish fell to the Mavericks 61-40 in a shootout in Clinton. Christian Academy of Knoxville dropped a 27-21 decision to Belfry, Kentucky at Warrior Stadium. Farragut (4-3 overall, 3-1 in District 4-AAA) started fast en route to recording a lopsided victory over the Mountaineers (1-6, 04) at Bill Clabo Field. The Ads’ defense was dominant and the Farragut offensive attack was potent – especially early – The Admirals scored 21 points in the opening quarter. Tanner Thomas rushed for two touchdowns and Bryan Phillips had a pair of touch-
special teams as Dominique Amos returned a blocked punt for a TD. Matt Brewer blocked the Bulldogs’ punt. Hardin Valley’s defense stifled Bearden’s Malachi Horton, who rushed for just 36 yards. Quarterback Xavier Johnson scored Bearden’s lone touchdown on a 38-yard run. Both the Hawks and the Bulldogs will be in action tonight (Thursday, Oct.17). The Hawks will host West High (6-1, 3-1) while Bearden hopes to get a second consecutive win over archrival Farragut. Knoxville Catholic fell from the ranks of the unbeaten Friday night. The Irish (6-1) didn’t have enough to stay in a shootout with Anderson County, which features one of East Tennessee’s most versatile and potent attacks. The Mavericks got four touchdown runs from Matt Fox, who finished with 402 rushing yards and four scores. Quarterback Tyler Hicks threw for a pair of touchdowns and rushed for two more for Anderson County (7-1). The Irish kept things close early. Quarterback Zac Jancek threw two touchdown passes to Harrison Huber. Eli Brown had a

pair of touchdown runs while Logan Lacey and Amari Rodgers both rushed for scores. KCHS returns to District 4-AA play Friday when it hosts Scott County (6-2, 1-2) at Blaine Stadium. Catholic is 2-0 in league play. Christian Academy of Knoxville dropped to 2-5 with a home loss Friday to Belfry, Kentucky’s topranked Class 3A team. Belfry entered the game with a perfect 70 record and jumped to a 14-0 lead before Tennessee’s two-time defending Class 3A state champi-
ons stormed back to knot things by halftime. CAK head coach Rusty Bradley opted to start freshman Cole Smith at quarterback and Smith responded by throwing three touchdown passes to Phillip Nichols. Smith was 22-for-34 and amassed 186 yards through the air. He will get his second start when the Warriors travel to Alcoa Friday. The Tornadoes (6-1) won their fifth straight game last week, routing Lancaster Christian 42-8.
