Alexander seeks to simplify college aid paperwork ■
Alan Sloan
U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) greets Beverly Anderson, guidance counselor at Bearden High School and a panel member during Alexander’s panel forum discussion on his “Student Aid Short Form” bill at Pellissippi State Community College Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 21. Dr. Joe DiPietro, president of The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, seated, was among the panel educators.
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Judging by the opinions of three students at Farragut and Bearden high schools, applying for federal student financial aid for college is time consuming, tedious and happens much too late in the college selection process. U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) is co-sponsoring the “Student Aid Short Form” bill attempting to simplify the process by reducing form questions “from 10 pages down to a postcard,” Alexander said. The bill also, according to Alexander, allows high school juniors to apply so they can find out much more quickly their federal financial aid status. That information would allow them to apply to schools they can afford, without the frustration of being accepted to a school they later find out they can’t afford. “I really like that aspect of the
bill because applying for college and trying to figure out which colleges you can afford is difficult enough,” said Madeline Stephens, a Farragut High School senior looking for an undergraduate education to prepare her for law school. Stephens and FHS senior Austin French, both AP Honors students with grade point averages above 4.0, said they are not looking forward to filling out the Free Application for Financial Student Aid forms early in 2015. French said he has applied to his school of choice, Wake Forest University, yet doesn’t know if he will have enough federal loan money because he has to wait until Jan. 1, 2015 to apply. “I personally have had to switch from early decision to regular decision on my first-choice school [WFU] because my attendance at the school is contingent on my financial aid,” French, looking to See BILL on Page 4A
Kingsgate residents report, seek relief Residents claim vandalism escalating ■ TAMMY CHEEK

Kingsgate subdivision residents reported fires set to trash cans, brush and leaves and are asking when something will be done. Residents living on another street said they have experienced fires and other incidents of nuisance. “Someone rang my doorbell two months ago. I didn’t know what to do. I was afraid I would get hurt [opening the door], so I let it go,” Jan Albright, a Kingsgate resident said. “We have a feeling we know who it is.” While residents on one street said they have not experienced nor seen fires set in their neighbors’ property, they have experienced motorists speeding on their street and one resident, Susan Summers, said someone had “gone through” her car. Since that break-in occurred, she said she got a surveillance camera. Regarding another instance, Albright said her neighbor had her trash can set on fire. “She had just [had her] driveway nicely done,” Albright said of her neighbor. She added the driveway was melted from the burned trashcan. “I had gotten the impression police were called but nothing was done,” she said. “The person has to be caught in the act, and he does most of the stuff at night.” In the Oct. 30 issue of the farragutpress, someone reported on presstalk they had faced multi-
ple incidents. One of those incidents the caller reported, which occurred several years ago, was that person’s rolling trash can was on fire and the fire spread to the bushes at the entrance of the driveway. Another resident, Lora Derryberry, said last week she was awakened in the middle of the night by a neighbor, who notified them their leaves were on fire. “We were able to put it out with a fire hose,” she said. “It upsets me because I have two little babies, and fires can get out of control easily. “You can see the tree where it’s black,” Derryberry said, adding a similar fire had occurred once before. She said the fire could have been set by a passerby who was smoking and dropped the cigarette in the leaves, but added, “It’s interesting it happened more than once. “There’s speculation in the neighborhood about who it might be [setting fires], but there’s no proof,” Derryberry said. “Every time I called the sheriff’s office — I called the arson department last time — they put us on a drive-by, so the sheriff’s office will drive by when they have time to check things out. “I don’t know if that will stop anybody from doing anything,” she said. Derryberry said two years ago her mailbox had been been burned. “It was a plastic one,” she said. “We have a metal one now.” Capt. Brad Hall, the Knox
County Sheriff’s Office liaison for Farragut said four reports have been filed so far this year in Kingsgate, all of which were listed as vandalism. A Jan. 10 report read: “Unknown suspects had burned down the shrubs on her property at 1300 hours Jan. 9.” The complainant reported it at 4 p.m. the following day. “The complainant advised incidents like this had had occurred twice before,” Rachel Brooks, Knox County Sheriff’s Office records clerk, recorded on the report. It also said there are no known suspects at this time. There was another report, filed June 30, that a trash can was on fire. It was a separate case from the January report. An officer was dispatched and said the complainant discovered the damage between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., June 30. The resident had put the garbage can out the night before, Sheriff’s Deputy Amelia Hamilton stated in her report. Hall said there was a report of a mailbox that had been knocked down Aug. 27. “The victim said at 1120 hours he heard a loud noise outside,” Cathy Norris, records clerk, wrote in the report. “The victim advised persons unknown in a late-model white automobile, possibly a Ford Fusion, hit his mailbox with an unknown object. He said the door was knocked off his mailbox.” The last report took place Oct. 12, when a Kingsgate resident reported vandalism to her car See KINGSGATE on Page 3A

The black charring on a tree in the front yard of Kingsgate resident Lora Derryberry remains as a reminder of the early morning hours last week when Derryberry was awakened by a neighbor alerting her that her leaves were on fire.
Farragut schools put Town funds to use ■ ALAN SLOAN

From building up computer labs to quadrupling a security system, three Farragut schools receiving town of Farragut’s annual $22,000 donation detailed the importance of that contribution. Those schools, Farragut Intermediate, Farragut Middle and Farragut Primary, also listed current needs — where money would fill a void — as reported during the Town’s Schools Education Relations Committee
monthly meeting Tuesday, Nov. 4, in Town Hall boardroom. Meanwhile, discussion of how SERC could best assist the Town in an effort to reach out to youth — either in terms of apprenticeships and other involvement within Town government or simply making Town events and opportunities more appealing to youth — featured guests David Smoak, Town administrator, and Town Alderman Ron Honken.

Residents prepare to battle Town over GCR project ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Grigsby Chapel Road area residents are looking for strategies now that they have seen an application from TDK Construction to rezone private property off Grigsby Chapel Road to R6 unrestricted. The residents united for a meeting Thursday, Oct. 23, at Westside Universalist Unitarian Church off Fretz Road, to gather information about the rezoning application for the private property and discuss what they could do about it. During a meeting between Grigsby Chapel residents and developer Ross Bradley with TDK Construction Sept. 25, residents were less opposed to a senior living facility at 718 Fretz Road, at the corner of Grigsby Chapel Road, which TDK wanted to develop as apartments. Since then, Bradley has submitted the request to rezone the property for a senior living facility; however, residents objected to the R6 “unrestricted” zoning he is requesting. “[Bradley] clearly understands we don’t want apartments,” Mul Wyman, a retired North Carolina city planner living in Wyndham Hill, said. “When [Bradley] filed for unrestricted R6 zoning, if he gets that, he can build anything. “We’re not sure what he’s
going to get, the only thing we know is we are going to get unrestricted,” Wyman added. He said Bradley is asking to amend the zoning map and the ordinance language. When the developer had plans to build apartments, he had a concept plan, which showed open space, Wyman said. “Right now, what can happen is you will see bush hogs would clear out everything,” he said. “He didn’t have a concept plan or traffic impact study,” Wyman said about Bradley. “If he doesn’t have it for the November meeting, the request will be pushed back to January or February.” Bradley urged residents to be at the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission and Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen meetings at which there will be public hearings on the rezoning request. “The Planning Commission will vote twice then [the request] will go before the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen,” he said. “These are the [public hearing] meetings we want to make sure you go to,” Pauline Hamilton of Farragut Commons said. Hamilton urged to sign up at nextdoor.com, where they can communicate with one another about the issue. Wyman cited traffic numbers he received from Tony

he said. “There is also through traffic. I don’t have the numbers for that.” He advised residents to request Grigsby Chapel Road, between Campbell Station and Fretz Road, be reclassified from
a minor arterial to major collector road to prevent R6 development. “If you did that, developers couldn’t build the develop-

meeting with FMS principal Danny Trent, “They completely equipped two computers labs for a total cost of $60,000. They had $30,000 to use from coupon book sales and $10,000 from Tshirt sales. … They would have been short without Farragut’s contribution. … He was very grateful for the donation last [fiscal] year.” Looking ahead, Trent “wants the sixth-grade teachers and the support staff all to have an iMac. … That would be [for] use of the [Town] funds this [fiscal] year,” Carasso added. Committee member Kristen Pennycuff-Trent met with FPS principal Gina Byrd, who also expressed gratefulness toward Board of Mayor and Aldermen for its contribution. “Their rubber mulch now is at code. … They’ve also been able to replace many of their active boards, projectors and bulbs — Those bulbs are very expensive — using the Town’s funds,” Pennycuff-Trent said. “They have been able to start replacing some of their computers. … They were able to purchase eight new computers last [fiscal] year with our funds. They’re having to put all students on some kind of computerized assessment system. “They said with coupon sales and money from the town of Farragut, they have just been able to purchase a class set of iPads that will be available to check out for the second grade,” she added. “And they’re hoping to be able to do that for first grade and kindergarten as well, and [Byrd] gave me a cost for that: it’s approximately $11,000 for one set, that’s 22 iPads.” Byrd also stated the need, as reported by Pennycuff-Trent, for funds that would allow her teachers “to attend trainings and conferences and bring that information back and share it with their colleagues. “They also have experienced a large English as Second Language growth for students whose first language isn’t English,” she added. “They’re really interested in trying to find

that occurred the night of Oct. 9, sometime after 4 p.m. The complainant’s car was parked at her residence. Her rear windshield was shattered and her front windshield was cracked, she told records clerk Angela Copen. Hall said reports filed at the Sheriff’s Office are put on the website, raidsonline.com, which is Regional Analysis and Information Data Sharing. That website allows law enforcement to share crime data with the public. “It appears that the reports have been assigned to detectives for follow-up, and we will monitor the situation here at the West Precinct,” Hall said. He said there are no suspects at this time, but added if residents have information they need to get back in contact with the investigating detective. Kingsgate subdivision has 462 units but no homeowners association, Albright said. “It’s important to know who your neighbors are.”

ments,” resident Debbie Reed said. Lorraine Darwin, a member of Westside Universalist Unitarian Church, said, “To think [the proposed property] will stay as it is, is an unreasonable assumption. “I think you need to consider what is reasonable for that property,” Darwin said. Several residents said they think the property should be single-family residential.
tutors and resources not only for the students but also those families. “For their security system, they are just getting a new system of digital cameras. They’ll be updating from 15 cameras to 60 cameras.” At FIS, committee member Mike Singletary reported a need,
as expressed by principal Reggie Mosley, for “rubberized safety mulch” in the school’s playground. That cost would be “$15,000 and $20,000,” Singletary reported Mosley as saying. “They also have a parking lot situation. … He said their parking is getting so filled that visitors have a hard time getting a place and
kitchen staff have to walk a long way to get to the cafeteria. He’s interested in putting in a new parking lot — it might be a primitive one, that is, with gravel — behind the school and he needs some financial support.” That would cost $5,000, Singletary reported Mosley as saying. “… And he continues to need money
for technology.” Concerning youth engagement and the Town, Honken’s suggestions included reaching out to National League of Cities for ideas because “some of these communities have done an outstanding job … of putting together a long-range plan for youth.”

Good neighbor An unattended lawn is quickly assumed to be a rental property. But then, some Farragut homeowners living here for many years haven’t felt the importance of providing curb appeal, which is essential to a pretty neighborhood. As untypical renters, we’ve expended our personal labor and money to accomplish more in 18 months than they have in years. An expert gardener would never dig up plants without due reason. Contrarily, it’s a pleasure to see them thrive in a beautifully landscaped yard. It’s quite easy to see poisonous spray residue on dying plants and spot trampled/broken ones, particularly when the gardener didn’t

Stephens and French said they both know “several” FHS students who are not going to fill out the FAFSA form due to its complexity and time requirement. However, while French said Alexander’s legislation “in theory is a good thing,” he added, “I also believe that the number of questions that are currently on the FAFSA is necessary to correctly and fully assess the need of a family and an individual.” Alexander came to Pellissippi State Community College Tuesday, Oct. 21, to discuss his bill with area college presidents and other educators in a panel forum discussion. Beverly Anderson, guidance counselor at BHS and a panel member, said during the discussion, “I spent almost an hourand-a-half this morning talking with the parent of a junior. … The difficulty right now is she has so many places she wants to go. The crucial question is, ‘how much money will you need?’” Rachael Buckley, a senior at

He always makes sure we are taken care of. Together they all make our day better. Thank You!!! • I attended the meeting in Farragut where citizens presented their opinion on overturning the ban on guns in the Town parks. There were several compelling reasons presented. After speaking, the majority of people there for this topic left the meeting. Later there was a voice vote to bring the restriction back up again. It was rejected 3-2. Being a longtime Farragut resident I am puzzled why I should not be able to protect my grandchildren or wife should we go to the parks. I am legally licensed to carry a handgun by the state of Tennessee. I decided to e-mail the three that were against repealing the law requesting their reasons for not allowing self protection in the parks. This was sent to their e-mails at the town of Farragut. I have not
received a response from any of them. I feel that a response is called for from our officials. This meeting was a couple of days before a student in Washington state brought a gun past the no gun signs and killed himself and other students. Maybe the gun ban signs do not work. I guess to protect our loved ones from a crazy with a gun we could always call the Farragut police department and hope that they get there in time. Wait, I forgot that we do not have a Farragut police department. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

The Board voted unanimously at a special called meeting Monday, Nov. 3, to accept Rogers Group Inc.’s proposal for the Town to pay it $39,719.08, which is $11,000 less than the initial contract price, $50,719.80. In return, Rogers Group Inc. will resurface the roads where tack was tracked in the subdivision. Darryl Smith, Town engineer, said the work could be done by mid-December. Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche said the agreement was approved because of the cost and possibility of a lawsuit.

unlike with FAFSA, have to pay interest on the loan while in school instead of after they graduate. While Alexander said this would add “$40 billion” federal dollars to fund Pell Grants, Susan Bolinger, FHS college and career counselor, was not convinced. “I would like to see that part of the bill looked at again more closely because students in school, to have them start paying interest from day one, just doesn’t encourage. Don’t make them pay interest from day one,” she said.

■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
While at least one area football rivalry looks to have bitten the dust — Hardin Valley Academy versus Karns according
to HVA head coach Wes Jones — Farragut should have more room on its schedule for non-region rivals such as the Hawks in 2015 and 2016. Eddie Courtney, FHS head coach, said he was pleasantly surprised that his Admirals have been included with four other Knoxville area schools plus
Campbell County in newly formed District 3-5A beginning next fall (Oak Ridge, Lenoir City, Karns and Clinton). “Until Friday afternoon I was still, in my mind, thinking we were going to be in that other [region] going to Chattanooga,” Courtney said about his reaction when TSSAA-proposed region
alignment was announced Friday afternoon, Nov. 7. The released region alignments are not official, however, until TSSAA Board of Control decides to accept, or alter, those alignments during its meeting, Thursday, Nov. 13. Courtney said he feared the travel costs of being placed in the “Chattanooga” region.
With only six teams in Farragut’s new region, that means having only five region opponents instead of the six or seven Courtney thought his Admirals might have had in the Chattanooga area region or even in a Knox area region. As a result, See NEW REGION on Page 6A
‘Phantom’ fumble, 4Q pick doom HVA ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
SEVIERVILLE — Two extremely costly turnovers — one considered a phantom fumble by many Hardin Valley Academy folks that Sevier County returned 69 yards for a late third-quarter touchdown — perhaps kept Wes Jones’ Hawks from winning the program’s firstever football playoff game. With elusive Smoky Bears quarterback Deuce Wallace vital to both of his team’s first-half touchdowns, Sevier County walked away with a 28-20 opening round TSSAA Class 6A playoff win at SCHS Friday, Nov. 7. Seizing momentum in the third quarter after trailing Sevier Smoky Bears 28 County 14-7 at Hawks 20 halftime, the Hawks (6-5) reached the SCHS 30 late in the third when junior running back Issiah Aguero slipped then lost the ball. A Sevier County defender scooped the ball and raced untouched 69 yards to put the Smoky Bears up 21-13 with 2:39 left in the period. “Without a shadow of a doubt I am convinced he was down,” Jones, HVA head coach, said. “… Let’s be honest, that play right there was one of the big, deciding factors in this ballgame. We were on the move fixing to take the lead right.” HVA forced the Smoky Bears into its only mistake, possessionwise, after a blocked punt and return by Isaac Aguero eventual-

Sevier County (8-3) marched 58 yards to make it 28-13 on a 4-yard Zach Sauls run with 1:28 left. Sophomore quarterback Gavin Greene led HVA 79 yards ending with a 13-yard scoring pass to junior Tyler Lingerfelt with just 15 seconds left. “We never gave up,” HVA senior guard Xan Witherspoon said. Stopping a fake punt near midfield, Hardin Valley tied the game 7-7 on Ryan Ferguson’s 9-yard scoring run with 3:06 left in the first half. The Hawks pulled to within a point on their first drive of the third quarter, highlighted by a 28-yard run by Timmy Frizzell and a 16-yard pass to Brandon Cosey. Issiah Aguero’s 2yard TD run made it 14-13. The extra point was blocked.

Irish edge Elizabethton 24-17 ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
Chase Kuerschen made a pair of big plays when Knoxville Catholic High School’s football team needed them most. Kuerschen, a sophomore wide receiver and defensive back, had a key third-quarter interception and scored the game-winning touchdown in consecutive plays to lead the Irish to a 24-17 victory over Elizabethton in the opening round of the TSSAA Class 4A playoffs at Blaine Stadium. Catholic (10-1) was in a dogfight against the Cyclones (8-3) throughout much of the contest — and it was Kuerschen’s interception that shifted momentum to the Irish’s favor. “I thought it was going to be a
run and I bit on the run and he [Elizabethton quarterback Caleb Armstrong] tried to throw it over me and I got it,” Kuerschen said of the interception that gave KCHS the ball at the Cyclones’ 46-yard line. He scored on the next play, as he was on Irish 24 the Cyclones 17 receiving end of a Zac Jancek touchdown pass that gave the Irish a 24-10 lead with 1 minute, 53 seconds remaining in the third quarter. “Chase was clutch,” Jancek said. “We were struggling on both offense and defense and Chase made those two big plays.” Catholic head coach Steve Matthews said he was pleased with Kuerschen’s performance
against Elizabethton, which came after a sub-par game against Alcoa in the regular-season finale. “He continually makes big plays for us,” Matthews said of Kuerschen. “He’s a great kid and he has a great family. We’re glad he’s here. “I was happy for him and for the way he bounced back after a tough week against Alcoa.” Another member of the KCHS defense clinched the win. With the Irish leading 24-17, junior linebacker Augustus Fortune picked off another pass from Armstrong to end a potential game-tying drive with 32 seconds left in the game. The Cyclones took a 3-0 lead See IRISH WIN on Page 6A

Defense, goalie strengths for deeper FHS hockey team ■ ALAN SLOAN

With his team having much more depth versus last season, Jeff Lindsay takes over as Farragut hockey head coach. Saying last season’s FHS team, which finished with a losing

there’s more room for non-region opponents such as Bearden (in the new Region 1-6A), the only school either Courtney or Donald Dodgen, FHS athletic director, would guarantee as a non-district opponent the next two seasons. Hardin Valley, which joined FHS and Bearden in the current District 4-AAA/Class 6A beginning in 2013, will join BHS in Region 1-6A starting next season. While Courtney would not commit to pursuing HVA as a nonregion opponent the next two years, Jones said, “I’m afraid we’re going to lose Farragut off our schedule. That’s not good for us because we have to travel so much. I’m hoping we can get them on the schedule. I want to keep that one going for sure. It’s a win-win for both schools.” Courtney and Jones said they, and most all TSSAA football programs, will be “scrambling” to fill non-district games beginning tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 14, should the new regions be approved.
record for the first time in years, sometimes played with just seven skaters, “We’ve got 15 players on the team this year,” he said. “I’ve got 11 returning players. I would say seven played regularly.” Senior captain Kyle Lindsay “would be my key guy” as a forward and defenseman, coach
“After we find out the weeks we play [teams in our region], then you start working with non-district people,” Courtney said. Jones added, “Everybody’s going to be burning the telephones up trying to get ballgames this week.” Courtney and Jones also agreed that scrambling to fill non-region games, which becomes a necessity for fear a school you may want to schedule already would have its schedule filled, shouldn’t be happening during the playoffs. “I personally don’t think you ought be doing any of this until the state championship games are over,” Courtney said. “It’s certainly a disadvantage for anybody in the playoffs.” Jones said, “This is a terrible time to release the new [region] parings, on the second Friday night of a playoff season.” As for HVA versus Karns, “I know Karns has already said they’re not playing Hardin Valley [next] year,” Jones said, adding he wouldn’t rule out calling KHS to try and work something out.
Lindsay said about his top returning scorer and four-year starter. Senior defender Brandon Timmis will start for a third time in four years. “A very steady, physical, stay-at-home defenseman.” Other top defensemen include junior Ross Luddington and senior Justin Ridgewine.
Senior Tatum McGill no longer will split goalie duties. “She’s a very hard worker. She’s a very strong goalie when she plays a stand-up game,” Lindsay said. Forwards Ethan Barnett, a sophomore, and Jessica Callahan, a junior, return. Former Knights forward Tyler Peters joins sophomore
forward Parker Miller, freshman forwards Kenny Ritcher, John Barhoff and Davis Ekelberger and freshman defenseman Ryan Priess as new Admirals. KAHA High School League action starts tonight, Thursday, Nov. 13, with FHS versus Knights (7:40 p.m. opening faceoff).

later in the opening frame. The Irish, however, would answer when Logan Lacey scored on a 2yard run a short time later. In the second quarter, Catholic would open a 17-3 advantage as Alex Jones kicked a 25-yard field goal and Jancek threw a 69-yard TD pass to Amari Rodgers. Elizabethton had nearly 400 yards of total offense. KCHS was flagged for 102 yards in penalties. The Irish hit the road to face No. 1 state-ranked, undefeated and two-time defending 4A state champ Fulton. Opening kickoff is 7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 14.

SPERO Coffee also a tea shop ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Josh and Michelle Steedley said they wanted to start a local business in Farragut with a global impact, so they opened SPERO Coffee, 154 West End Ave. Opening in late August, the store serves both as a coffee and tea shop and wholesaler of roasted coffee while giving a portion of its profit to missions. SPERO Coffee is a family business, not a franchise, Michelle Steedley said. “It’s something Josh and I came up with on our own,” she added. This is truly a mom-andpop business. Our children work here, too.” Josh Steedley is a dentist by trade, but through some experience in mission work, Michelle said he wanted to find a way to impact people in the mission field through a business. “And, coffee made the most sense,” she said. “I like the idea of supporting people, from a mission standpoint, around the world, and the way to do that is by doing business with them,” Josh Steedley said. “Because coffee comes from other countries, we are having an impact, globally speaking,” he added. “These coffee and tea farmers around the world, that’s their livelihood, and by doing business with them it potentially makes a positive impact on their lives.” “Initially, we planned on being a wholesale roaster, so he bought

a roaster and we started practicing in our garage,” Michelle Steedley said. “Our house smelled like coffee for about a year.” As Josh’s passion and vision grew, she said they found a space at West End shopping center and set up the roaster. “We roast it all here,” she said. “The name of our business is SPERO, and it’s Latin for ‘hope.’ Our intention is to give 10 percent back to a variety of mission organizations.” On the wholesale scale, the Steedleys are selling to local coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants
and church cafes, they said. Among them are Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop, Blue Mason Coffee Shop and Lighthouse Coffee Shop. “We also provide labeling for anyone who wants to have their own brand of coffee,” Michelle Steedley said. The coffee shop carries specialty coffees, which are roasted in the shop, she added. “We have seasonal specials, pastries from bakeries in the area, Bradley’s Chocolates. We sell Chemex and Aeropress coffee makers and a variety of other coffee equipment to make the best
cups of coffee at home,” she said. The shop also carries loose leaf teas such blacks, greens, whites Oolong, Roobios and seasonal teas. Jewelry also is sold at SPERO, from which the profits support an organization called 31 Bits, and the bags and journals SPERO sells come from an organization called, I Know Hope, another mission organization.

Residential permits on the rise

A girl from coal-mining country in Eastern Kentucky said she couldn’t wait to escape, targeting Knox County as where she wanted to build a family and a career. Peggy Wilson’s 32-year career at Pellissippi State Community College, its vice president of College Advancement since 2001, plus her countless hours of Wilson contributions as a nine-year member, and former president, of The Rotary Club of Farragut have been recognized with a national award. In early September, “I received a call from the head of the Education Division of the National Association of Professional Women,” when Wilson said she was informed about being chosen its Woman of the Year. “[The caller said] ‘Peggy, each division,’ they have industry type divisions that people are in, ‘we pick one person from each division to be our Woman of the Year and invite them to be in our VIP club.’ “And I said, ‘what?’ I didn’t know if it was a joke,” she added with a laugh. “I said, ‘how did you do that?’ And she said, ‘we go through all the profiles, online, and choose based on that.’” Wilson’s honor wasn’t made public for a few more weeks. “I See WILSON on Page 5B

Feedback among the two casts of Hardin Valley Academy Theater’s production of “Beauty and the Beast,” knowing the end result of their rehearsal should create a near mirror image of characters, has been both critical and complimentary.

Residential permits issued by the town of Farragut have increased slightly this year compared to the permits issued in 2013. Last year, the 201 permits issued by the Town valued at $38,386,852, according to its annual report. The total revenues generated for the Town, totaled $177,290.78, Mark Shipley, community development director, said. For the fiscal year 2014, the Town issued 205 residential permits, Shipley said. He added the Town’s revenues from those permits totaled $169,821.50. “The total value of the permits, based on the project values, was $35,935,255,” Shipley said. Shipley said the values for FY2013 residential permits were slightly higher than FY2014 but were very close, as well as the revenue earned for the Town. “So this shows we are holding very steady when it comes to residential development in the Town,” he added. “The town of Farragut continues to see an increase in residential development,” Shipley said. “This, in turn, means more people moving to Farragut and supporting our local economy through sales tax dollars when they make purchases here.” “We already know people want to live in Farragut, and they are coming from all over the place,” Mayor Ralph McGill said. “We’ve heard stories of people wanting move and researched and many are choosing to stay in Farragut.”

Twins Darla Gordon and Debbie Shoemaker share not only a twin bond, they share having grandchildren born on the same day. Gordon, a Karns resident, and Shoemaker, a Lenoir City resident, have been working side by side at New Outlook Salon, 10621 Kingston Pike in the Farragut area, for about five years. “We became mimis the same day,” Gordon said. Gordon’s grandson, Justin Allen Dunaway, and Shoemaker’s granddaughter, Isabelle Lowpasser, were both born on Sept. 6, 2013. While they had separate birthday parties, each child went

to the other’s party. While Justin had his birthday party at the salon with a monkey theme, Isebelle had her cowgirlthemed party in a barn on a farm. “Flies and all,” Shoemaker said about her granddaughter’s party. “It’s awesome,” she added. “Us twins have to stick together.” Gordon said Shoemaker’s stepdaughter, Lauren Lowpasser, was scheduled go in, and Gordon’s daughter, Jessi Marie Gordon, went in for an ultrasound to find out why the baby was small. “[Jessi Marie] was two weeks off, but they decided to keep her in [the hospital] to have [Justin]. They induced her at 5
p.m.,” Gordon said. Isebelle was born at 11:09 a.m. and Justin was born 9:22 p.m. Sept. 6. “It was unexpected,” Shoemaker said about her granddaughter’s birth. “I was overwhelmed actually.” Shoemaker said she was visiting her husband’s brother, who was at one hospital and then went to Parkwest Hospital, where Isebelle was born. At the same time, Shoemaker was told her niece, Jessi, was about to be induced and have her child at The University of Tennessee Medical Center. “I never thought we would have grandbabies the same day,” Gordon said. “We just have more See TWINS on Page 4B

Do you suffer from APM?
Twins
After Party Meltdown APM is very common among young children. It can happen after a party, a special holiday or any overindulgence. I’ve seen it played out in all three of my kids and all 12 of our grandchildren. Child psychologists call it over stimulation. I remem- Pam ber being Young in the back Make it seat of our Ford family Fun! car and coming home from a glorious day at the circus. My sister and I were decked out in new matching dresses and new shoes we’d got just for the special outing and we started fighting over whose circus program was whose (even though they were identical). The battle triggered a rash of admonishments from both of our parents in the front seat. Dad was first, “Girls, knock off the bickering or I’m gonna stop the car and take the programs away!” Mom chimed in, “I can’t believe you girls are fighting after all we’ve done for you today. Here we take you to the circus, you got brand new matching dresses and new shoes and we let you have hot dogs and Cokes and souvenirs and you’ve been fighting ever since we got in the car!” I recall feeling ashamed. APM tends to go into remission as children mature, but the potential for its reoccurrence remains even into adulthood and it sneaks out in adults in subtle ways but it’s no more attractive than the episodes children display. APM can start with just an, “isthat-all-there-is” feeling. It can emerge as a vacation winds down, as we drive in the driveway with a cranky knowing of what was put off in order to have the fun. It can appear in the form of the “full” feeling after a feast, or the frustration of receiving credit card statements in January reflecting the joy of holiday purchases. Acquisition is fun! Maintenance sucks and so do the bills that follow it. Greed and envy I have two granddaughters who are five months apart. I wrote the following after babysitting them for the afternoon, when they were two years old. I absolutely believe that their antics are no different than those behind the fall of Enron. There is primitive envy, jealousy and greed between these two adorable babies. The older one has the
to share.” The twins take photographs and videos of their grandchildren and send them to each other, Gordon said. Gordon said she and her sister both went to the same beauty school in Oak Ridge and graduated the same day. “We’ve always had an interest in enhancing our looks, so beauty school was for us,” she said. Later, Gordon and Shoemaker worked together in hair salons. Gordon said her sister was working at another hair salon for 16 years. Gordon joined Shoemaker at that salon a year later, working there for 15 years, before they went to separate hair salons for seven years then came back together to work at New Outlook five years ago. “I started [at New Outlook] in 2006, worked here for eight-and -a-half-years ago, and Debbie came in 2009,” Gordon said. Gordon said being twins is great. “It’s a special relationship,” Gordon said. ““You’ve got that special bond. She’s part of my life and part of my heart, and just sharing babies is special.” Shoemaker said she liked being a twin. Although the two sisters fought growing up, the two bonded, she said. The twin connection does not end with Gordon and Shoemaker, however. The sisters have twin brothers as well, Mike and Paul Lehman, along with another brother, Barry

THE
power of age and experience on her side, even if it’s only five months. The younger is at the mercy of the older and more often than not, intervention has to take place. They, like most two and three year olds, are very possessive of their toys, clothes and even their car seats. MINE is one of the most powerful words they know. The Trading Game I think most children are born with the proclivity to be greedy and envious. They actually have to be taught to share. Perhaps children who haven’t been trained in the basic rules of toddler etiquette grow up to be greedy corporate executives. If a three-year-old sees that her younger sister is enjoying her favorite doll, her natural instinct is to go up to her sibling and rip it out of her arms. This action of course brings consequences. Mom or Dad gets into the fray, the ripper is chastised and the one who got ripped is given some object to appease her soul. To avoid these frequent squabbles, it’s far easier to provide an item (preferably bright and pretty) to entice the one who got ripped. When a three-yearold is taught the “trading game,” battles are reduced. This trading game is as old as the moon. Men of the Wild West used the same tactic. “Here are some pretty beads for all your buffalo.” In our society today, I think that corporate executives use a more sophisticated version of this tried and true tactic on all of us regular folks. It’s basically a “you-can’t- have-what-we-havebut-we’ll-hold-up-something-to-distract-you” tactic. Today we can have the equivalent to almost everything the wealthy have, just a cheaper version. That’s why Walmart is the largest retailer in the world. Pay for duty When we were young, we got paid to go to the bathroom and we paid our kids who pay theirs. The main form of remuneration then was M & Ms and the little candy bribes continue to be just as popular and effective today. Under scrutiny the act of paying our toddlers to pee in the potty is probably the reason we have such a successful free enterprise system. We grow up feeling that we are very special and that even the act of elimination is extremely valuable and we should be compensated or we’ll pitch an APM.

Lehman. Also, Paul Lehman married a twin and he and his wife had twins as well. “It stops right there,” Gordon said. “We’ll, when a twin marries a twin, there’s no way around
having twins.” Shoemaker and Gordon each had one child. “They say it skips a generation,” Shoemaker said.

Shipley said the Town also is experiencing an increase in subdivision development from FY 2013 to FY 2015. “This building boom is going to bring a lot of people here,” McGill said. “In fact, the houses are selling very quick. “There certainly will be more people shopping and spending more money in the Town and more sales tax revenues,” he added. “New home construction continues to thrive in Farragut, both in existing neighborhoods and new subdivisions that will soon see developments begin,” Shipley said. “We also continue to receive requests for rezoning in certain neighborhoods that allows for varied types of housing, such as the Villas at Anchor Park, which will offer both attached and detached

couldn’t say anything until I got the plaque,” Wilson said. Dr. Anthony Wise, PSCC president, said Wilson “has been a great representative of the college for more than 28 years; she clearly demonstrates leadership on campus. … And she provides great leadership in the community as well. “Really an outstanding person and an outstanding representative of Pellissippi State.” Though born in Knoxville, “My father got a job on the railroad and we moved to Kentucky when I was 2,” Wilson, who returned to Knox County in September 1979, said. Visiting her grandmother from Knox County each year as a child, Peggy Gaddis, “I loved Knoxville as a kid, I always wanted to live here,” Wilson said. Between Pike County, Ky., and Knox County was 11 years as a middle school and high school science teacher in Morehead, Ky. and Greene County, Ky. “I’ve always been a determined type of person, even as a kid,” Wilson said, adding her father “pushed me into doing things I might not have done otherwise that made me accomplish things.
homes. According to the Town’s residential permit reports from the Community Development Department, projected new homes for which permits were issued are valued between $150,040 and $954,000. This year’s increase maintains the Town’s increase in new residences since the economic recession, which started in 2009 when there were 28 permits issued. Shipley said since that time the number of permit requests gradually got better. He attributed that increase to the gradual improvement in the economy and low interest rates in the residential sector. Chelsey Riemann, Farragut public relations coordinator, said in 2010, 34 residential permits were issued, and in 2011, there were 49 permits. Then in 2012, there were 84. “I have to give him some credit on pushing me as a child to be somebody.” Growing up near the West Virginia border in coal country, “I really wanted out of there, I wanted to do something better. … I hated the place, the mountains and the dirt and the coal. “When I became a high school graduate at 17 and went off to college, I didn’t go back,” she added. “I went a couple of weeks ago to my 50th high school reunion and it made me physically sick.” At Pellissippi, Wilson said she’s most proud of being able to “give women opportunities in leadership roles. And mentoring women who aren’t necessarily in a role but might want to be.” One prime example is Karen Queener, PSCC Director of Human Resources, “Who started working for me when I was in Continuing Ed[ucation] and she was my work-study student at Pellissippi,” Wilson said. “I encouraged her and she got her Associates degree. And we kept in contact, and she got her bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree.” “I’m the go-to person when people want to figure out how to handle a situation.”

Should I be concerned about my dog’s cyst? Q: Our family just adopted “Coco”, a little Cocker mix. We think she is 4-5 years old. She has a lump on her back, but seems otherwise healthy. The rescue group that we adopted her from said that it was ‘just a cyst’, and not to worry about Stephanie it. But I am worried – Myers can you tell Ask me more the Vet about cysts in dogs? J.H., Farragut A: First, congratulations on adopting your new dog. There are many sweet dogs out there just
like her waiting for a good home. Some of these adopted dogs come with a medical history, and others do not. If a medical history was provided, I would want to confirm that this lump has been checked by a previous veterinarian and is, in fact, a cyst. Confirming that the lump is a cyst is fairly straight forward. An exam and needle aspirate can be performed by your veterinarian. A needle is inserted directly into the lump. This is not any more painful than any other injection. Your veterinarian will examine the fluid or discharge from the needle, if any is present. Cysts may contain a thick discharge or a clear fluid. If there is no fluid or discharge present, the lump is mostly likely a solid mass and not a cyst. Further tests, such as microscopic examination of the cells from the nee-
dle, are then warranted. Cysts most commonly arise when a hair follicle gets infected, clogged, or somehow damaged. Cysts are typically not painful, unless they are very large or they rupture, in which case they may become infected. If the cyst is large and/or has a history of rupturing, surgery is often recommended. Most cysts will remain small, and often owners will elect to leave them alone, as they are not painful. If you do not have a medical history for Coco, I recommend having your veterinarian check the lump and be sure it is ‘just a cyst’. I hope Coco is a wonderful addition to your family. If you have questions about your pet, you may e-mail Dr. Myers at lenoircityac@gmail.com

— and currently is not scheduled to receive it — still among the majority of Knox public schools using textbooks. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of WVMS students are zoned to attend Bearden High School, one of just two Knox public high schools also utilizing 1-to-1 laptop technology. How well will this WVMS threesome transition? Scott, 14, touted the pluses of 1to-1 laptops. “They’re faster, you can type faster. And I like reading on the computer better than the textbooks. It’s more interactive,” he said.
“You can click on a link and it will take you to something where it explains it in more detail. Or you can highlight it and look it up on the Internet really fast,” Scott added. However, going back to textbooks at FHS “is fine with me. My grades are the same,” Scott added. Ayesha, 13, said about going to the 1-to-1 laptops, “It was a big transition, actually. … It took me probably half of a month. I used to get distracted with it. “But now I know how to use it and it’s really easy. I’m more engaged into the activity,” Ayesha added. “When it’s on paper it’s just boring, I guess.” However, about transitioning back to textbooks at FHS, “I think
I could get used to it because I like both ways, the old fashioned way and the high-tech computer way,” Ayesha said. “I like how you can actually get to hold the book and actually read out of it. When you’re on the computer you’ve got to go back a page or go forward a page by clicking. And sometimes the loading will take long.” Payton, 14, said about the 1-to-1 laptops, “I think it works really well because, No. 1, it makes the teachers really organized, which helps with the students being organized, too. “And I think it’s easier for quizzes,” Payton added. “And some learning is just a lot easier without textbooks and a bunch of worksheets and things.”

apply for Safe Routes to School funding,” Mark Nagi, community relations officer with TDOT Region 1 [East Tennessee]. Gina Byrd, principal at Farragut Primary School, said she has parents who park at the Farragut Branch Knox County Public Library and walk their children to and from school already. FPS also participates in an annual Walk to School Day, she said. SRTS is a federally funded bicycle and pedestrian program focusing on the benefits of children walking and biking to school, Benedict said. Nagi said the SRTS projects are locally managed and follow TDOT Local Government Guidelines Manual. “The TDOT Safe Routes to School program provides oversight on individual projects and program management at the state level,” Nagi said. Benedict said the model program integrates health, fitness,
traffic relief, environmental awareness and safety under one program and brings together a diverse group of people to identify issues and find ways to improve conditions. “Congress provided SRTS funding to states through the federal surface transportation bill — the Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Act — A Legacy For Users,” she said. From the bill, Tennessee Department of Transportation received more than $21 million for SRTS from the Federal Highway Administration. “Projects and activities are 100 percent federally funded,” she added. “SRTS provides an opportunity to work closely with schools, the community and local government to create a healthy lifestyle for children and a safer, cleaner environment for everyone,” Benedict said. As of January 2014, she said TDOT received 280 applications asking for more than $50 million. To date, the state’s SRTS program has awarded 88 projects totaling more than $12.3 million, she said.

Among all that Caltech has to offer as a world renown technology college, Farragut High School students and their college counselor kept getting back to one big strength: a 3-to-1 student-to-faculty class ratio. “That 3-to-1 student-faculty ratio, that’s a selling point against anybody else,” said Matt Ybarra, Caltech assistant director of admissions who is “territory manager for 19 states,” after stopping at FHS to meet with 11 seniors for about one hour Monday morning, Sept. 22, as part of his Knoxville metropolitan area swing that day. Ybarra said he visited FHS on behalf of Caltech — in addition to Hardin Valley Academy, Bearden, Oak Ridge and Webb School of Knoxville — “based on how many students have been interested in us before. Also how strong we think the school is compared to many others.” Ani Perumalla, Daniel Hong and Kyle Parsley were among the 11 FHS seniors. “The student-to-faculty ratio, I wasn’t aware it was so small; it’s really nice at 3-to-1,” said Perumalla, sporting a roughly 4.5 grade point average, who added he was “pretty strongly” considering the Pasadena, Calif.-based school while interested in both mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering as majors. That low ratio is made possible because Caltech has “less than a thousands” undergraduates, Ybarra said. Of roughly 6,600 applicants last year, “the admission rate was 8.9 percent or some-

and Princeton. Hong, sporting a 4.64 GPA while a National Advanced Placement Scholar and National Merit Scholar, said about the meeting, “After this, I think Caltech is definitely on my list of colleges I’m See CALTECH on Page 9B

Farragut High School seniors Daniel Hong, left, and Ari Perumalla, look over some CalTech information after a meeting with Matt Ybarra, CalTech Assistant Director of Admissions. The pair were among 11 FHS seniors who, interested in possibly applying to attend the internationally-acclaimed school in Pasadena, Calif., attended the meeting where Ybarra laid out basic school information, passed out literature and answered questions Monday morning, Sept. 24, in Susan Bolinger’s office.

going to apply to. … It’s really changed my opinions. “The 3-to-1 faculty ratio is really unheard of,” Hong, 17, expressing an interest in either business or engineering as a major, added. “Many other top colleges, Stanford, UC-Berkeley, have [less impressive] ratios. That’s a strong selling point for Caltech.” Parsley, 17, said he’s visited the Caltech campus “this summer” and will apply for admission with the intention of majoring in computer science. “You could tell how nice the atmosphere was because it’s really great weather and it’s in
a pretty secluded part of Pasadena,” he added. Parsley said about Ybarra’s presentation, “The material science they did sounded really cool, and how they could make something that could rebound from compression.” “The 3-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio is amazing,” Susan Bolinger, FHS college and career counselor who coordinates scholarships, said. “… The exposure that students can get to these Nobel Prize winners is something else that’s very specific to Caltech. … They’re doing amazing research, and for an undergraduate to get that exposure really stands out.”

Chamber From page 3B
Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill told the conference participants. McGill related the Town’s history and demographics. The town of Farragut is 36 years old, having been incorporated in 1980, he said. “Half of us were born somewhere other than Tennessee, and 10 percent were not born in the United States,” he said. “They are very educated, working in hospitals, Oak Ridge and UT.” The mayor added the Town imposes no property tax, business or income tax. Seventy perThomason cent of its income comes from sales tax. “Since 2009, we’ve had an increase in revenue every year,” McGill said. “We are very aggressive in recruiting and keeping businesses,” he said. One thing the Town does not have is industrial zoning,” David Smoak, Town administrator, said. “We are really a residential area with mostly retail businesses.” Smoak said the Farragut West Knox Chamber helped get the Town started. “Thank you for coming into the community,” he said. One of the highlights of the week was a cruise and shrimp boil from Shrimp Dock Restaurant on board The Star riverboat of Tennessee Riverboat Company. “We’re going to go from downtown Knoxville all the way up to Farragut,” Sisco said. During a dinner Thursday, Aug. 21, at Seasons Innovative Bar & Grille, TCCE Executive of the Year Award was presented to Miles Burdine, president and CEO of Kingsport Chamber of Commerce. Participants also elected a new TCCE Board of Directors for 2014. They are Margot Fosnes, executive director for Robertson County Chamber, as president; Kyle Spurgeon with Jackson Area Chamber, president-elect; Bryan Daniels with Blount Partnership, vice president; Sisco, immediate past-president; directors for West Tennessee are Julie Allen Burke and Russell Ingle; directors for Middle Tennessee are Carolyn Denton and Leah Jack, and from East Tennessee are Mark Field and another yet to be determined. Atlarge director is Shelby Kee. “Many of the members of the [Farragut West Knox] Chamber have contributed to help make it a success,” Sisco said. She is one of three staff members with Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce, which has more than 700 members, she said. She estimated between 40 and 50 CEOs and executives from all across the state attended the conference. “It’s an honor to have them here,” Sisco added. She said the location of the conference rotates each year from East to Middle to West Tennessee. The meetings and classes took place at Milestones Events Center, 11909 Kingston Pike. “We were just thrilled to be able to host it,” Tanya Alsobrooks, special events planner for Milestones Event Center. “We hope it will be exposure for the new events center.” When Milestones opened the first of the year and held a networking in January at the center, Alsobrooks said Sisco approached her about holding the TCCE conference at the center. Alsobrooks said she readily agreed. The event consisted of three days of meetings and classes, when TCCE members received updates on issues, such as TN Promise, and heard from a variety of speakers. Those speakers included Catherine Glover, president of the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry; Graham Thomas, director of Community Partnerships TN Achieves Information; Clarke Thomason
with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; McGill, Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche and Smoak; Dr. William Bass, forensic anthropologist and author; Jim Welch, executive director at Elizabeth R. Griffin Research Foundation; Marshall Wilkins, Chick-fil-A; Vallie Collins, who was on board the U.S. Airways Flight 1549, which made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in New York in 2009; Dr. Marcio Fargundes, director of Provision Center for Proton Therapy; and Rick Johnson with Healthier Tennessee. Glover talked to the group about a campaign to increase the manufacturing workforce. “If you work with businesses at all, workforce development, manufacturing, economic development, we’ve got a whole new opportunity coming your way,” Glover said. That opportunity is the “Dream It. Do It Tennessee” campaign. “Are you ready to start a paradigm shift in the state of Tennessee?” she asked conference attendees.
Glover said Tennessee is known as one of the top five manufacturering states in the United States, if not the top three. She listed megatronics, medical devices and automotive among those manufacturers. Yet, she said, “We’ve heard this for years: ‘We don’t have the workforce we need. How do we get the right people in the right places?’” New graduates entering the workforce right now are not really interested in manufacturing because they not been encouraged to go into manufacturing, and that has left a huge gap, she said. “If you talk to industries in any community you are in, they will probably say the same thing: The talent pipeline is not here to sustain our manufacturing workforce.” Glover said the state Chamber is hearing mostly from plant managers in welding, machine programming and tool and dye. “Thirty to 40 percent of most manufacturing in the next five to 10 years are baby boomers retiring out,” she said. The percentage
ready to take their place, even at entry level, is 15, she added. “There’s a huge variance there,” Glover said. “It’s extremely concerning because we are the renaissance of manufacturing. We have been for two or three years. Manufacturers who used to take things abroad are bringing them back in. “We believe the answer is Dream It. Do it Tennessee,” she said. “It’s a partnership with the Tennessee Manufacturers Association, which is us. Did you know the state Chamber is the state manufacturing association?” She added the chamber was founded as 103 years ago as the Tennessee Manufacturers Association. The vision for the campaign is to create awareness among young people and those who influence their lives about advanced manufacturing while making sure we have appropriate credentialing in place, Glover said. They are reaching out to parents
and young adults ages 16 to 26, guidance counselors, career counselors to get education, training and career information out to them, she said. The vision of Dream It. Do It Tennessee is to create an awareness campaign and talent pipeline by redefining manufacturing to young people and their parents, educators and the community and providing motivating campaigns that will be appealing to all audiences, Glover said. “We are putting together dream teams to come into communities and talk to young people, promoting manufacturing jobs,” she said. “So, now is the time for Tennessee. It’s right. It’s ripe,” Glover said. “There’s a whole bunch of initiatives this is going to flow into and from.” Some of those initiatives include the Tennessee Scholars Program, Drive Tennessee, Tennessee and many others.

HVA From page 1B
Belle, “have practiced together.” Nathan Charles Wegman is the other Beast. With rehearsals dating back to the first of October, “Our theater is a family,” Piercy, a senior, said. “It’s been really nice, chemistry wise. We’re all very good friends, we know each other really well.” Working with Leko, “It’s actually really nice,” Piercy said. “… It’s nice to listen to each other sing, watch and listen to each other act and see, ‘Oh, I like what she’s doing with that.’” In the end, Robert Warren, play director and HVA Theater teacher, wants the two casts “to essentially look the same so the audience members have the same experience,” Piercy said. “So we’re trying to be as much alike as possible, so we really have to work together to figure out what our role is supposed to be like.” However, Piercy said both performers of a similar role sometimes have to be critical of each other during rehearsals. “Kayla and I are very good friends, so it helps going into that to know we’re not intimidated by each other,” Piercy said. “… We do give each other helpful critiques.” As for the two Beasts, “Nathan and I have worked together on a lot of our lines, just how we interpret a line and to deliver that line,” Skurtu said. “And also we’ve worked together on a lot of our songs, how the emotion in the song should be and how it should sound. “I don’t know that there’s a natural competitive element that is obvious … but there probably is,” Skurtu added. “Each of us proba-

bly feels that way for sure.” Skurtu emphasized that such a competitive nature, if it doesn’t get out of hand, can be beneficial to both. “You hear him do something well, then I think, ‘Oh, well I’ve got to step it up,’” he said. “And then he hears me do something really well and thinks the same thing.” Wegman, a senior, said he and Skurtu “have a few disagreements on some things, but we’re usually able to work past those and see who’s really right.” For example, “Voice inflection, like when you give emotion to a certain line. … and when the change really happens in the character,” he added. “… We try not to disagree too much in front
of [Warren].” However, “We’re both friends,” Wegman added about he and Skurtu.
