‘Impact Fee’ returns to BOMA agenda ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen postponed action on an Impact Fee that was listed on its agenda as an “Everett Road Corridor Improvement Fee.” “We have more work to do on it,” Mayor Ralph McGill said during the Board’s meeting Thursday, Nov. 13, about the Impact Fee ordinance, which was to be considered on first reading. According to a Town official,
Tom Hale, Town attorney, asked for more time to research the fee. The ordinance would mandate a formula-based road improvement fee for certain residential developments off Everett Road, Gary Palmer, Town assistant administrator, said. The ordinance was presented to the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission for a recommendation at its meeting Oct. 16, when Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a flat fee.
“Subsequently, this initiative was presented to the Board during a workshop on Oct. 23,” Palmer said in a report. “If you recall, the Board requested we come back with a formula-fee option instead of a flat fee.” The fee ordinance came about Aug. 14, when the Board approved a subdivision development agreement with Farmstead Development LLC, which is developing Split Rail Farms, which connects to Everett Road and would intensify traffic on that road.
The agreement with Farmstead Developments required the developer to contribute to the cost of improving Everett Road based on a formula, Palmer said. In line with the agreement, he said the Town should collect a road improvement fee from similar proposed residential developments along Everett Road. “In order to pre-plan, promulgate and move away from the individual cost-sharing agreements the Town has done in the past, we propose this uniform

Farragut and area residents are invited to celebrate the holidays at this year’s Celebrate the Season. Farragut Beautification Committee will present its 21st annual Celebrate the Season from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4, in Farragut Town Hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive. “The community is invited to enjoy the beautiful Town Hall holiday decorations, sample treats and enjoy the numerous activities and performances being offered,” Chelsey Riemann, Farragut public relations coordinator, said. “Celebrate the Season is one of our most fun, festive events of the year,” Arleen Higginbotham, Beautification Committee member, said. “Families love this event so much, especially the chance to have their children’s photos taken with Santa for free. “The best part of Celebrate the Season is hands down the chance for kids to tell Santa their gift list and get their photo taken at no cost.” The committee works with Town staff to present this event each year, she said. “From Santa to holiday crafts to music to the beautiful decorations at Town Hall, this event truly gets folks in the holiday spirit every year,” she said. Besides the photos with Santa, Celebrate the Season also features musical performances, cookie decorating, crafts and Farragut Folklife Museum tours. Children can have their photos taken with Santa beginning at 4:30 p.m. with the final number for photos handed out at 6 p.m., Riemann said. Also, families will hear musical performances by TNT Mountain Dulcimer Trio, Bearden United Methodist Church Children’s Bell Choir See CELEBRATE on Page 2A

He added the ordinance would only apply to residential developments that contribute to the traffic on Everett Road from Kingston Pike to Split Rail Farm subdivision entrance.

Knox Commissioners meet at Big Kahuna TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut and area residents had an opportunity to have their voices heard when Knox County Commissioners-At-Large Bob Thomas and Ed Brantley hosted a community meeting at Big Kahuna Wings in Farragut Thursday, Nov. 13. About five people talked to the Commissioners during he meeting. Thomas said this is the second community meeting held. “What we are trying to do is make sure we go out after work to every part of the County so everyone who can’t necessarily go to a Commission meeting can come out, say hello and tell what their concerns and complaints are,” Thomas said. As at-large commissioners, he and Brantley

The founder of Farragut Gun Club called out Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill on the issue of “First Amendment rights,” while saying Town leaders are failing to follow “administrative law and procedure” in banning permitted handguns in parks and greenways. Bill Johns, FGC founder, commented on the issue 18 days after FGC members were among four men speaking against the ban during the Board of Mayor and Aldermen’s Citizen Forum Thursday, Oct. 23. “I was highly disappointed in the Mayor, especially when attorney Doug Dutton was going to stand up in the meeting [and speak]. He made the comment basically that, ‘We’ve already heard Liston [Matthews] speak, we don’t need to hear anybody else speak,’” Johns said during his club’s most recent meeting, Monday, Nov. 10, in Gander Mountain among roughly 35 attendees. “Doug here, for some reason I guess, followed his First Amendment right during a Citizen Forum of a public meeting that was publically published and did a great job. “… I was very disappointed how some of the Farragut Gun [Club] members and other people in the segment were being treated in that situation,” Johns added. After Matthews spoke during that BOMA Citizen Forum, as Dutton was preparing to give his maximum five-minute address, McGill’s quote that Johns referenced was, “If you’re going to repeat something that somebody’s already said, then you

presstalk@farragutpress.com • Many thanks from an Andover resident for the rapid response by David Smoak, The BOMA, and public works department to our road repair. The new job looks great and the people accomplished the repair in two days, which I appreciate. Thanks again for listening and repairing! • To the person who complained about the price “gouging” at the FBA sponsored Farragut food festival a few weeks ago, please get your facts correct, as you are way off base. I defy the complainer to go out to eat anywhere in Knoxville and drink as much wine and beer as they wish, and eat food from Seasons, Longhorn, The Shrimp Dock, Aubreys, Big Kahuna and 20 other quality places for $25. It cannot be done. Further, the people who work these events (volunteers) eat for free. So if you are unhappy try something unusual and volunteer to work the event (rather than complain) and you can do something worthwhile for the Town and as well as eat and drink for free. The Farragut Business Alliance sponsors the event. Their people work the event. Their people volunteer for the event. Their people stay to midnight and clean up the trash for free. Their people get paid zero for the event and do it to make Farragut the great town it is. Next year, I suggest, you stay home, save your $50, and miss out on a great time, good fellowship and helping the community. • I’m writing in regards to the purposed building project off of Grigsby Chapel Road. What is going to happen to all the wildlife that live on the 32-35 acres of land???? I live behind this proper-
ty and can tell you firsthand about the wildlife. We have deer that I feed in the winter, raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, etc. They will all parish [sic] when this property is cleared to make way for a building project. Am I the only one that cares about these creatures that God made??? Please express yourself at the next meeting if there are others that feel the way I do. • I am calling about “The Taste of Farragut,” the ticket prices were $35 each and only one dollar for each ticket went to Second Harvest [Food Bank of East Tennessee]. Where did the rest of the money go? • I read in the farragutpress that the Farragut Food Festival collected one dollar per ticket total for Second Harvest [Food Bank of East Tennessee]. The ticket prices for the Farragut Food Festival were up to $35 a piece. This is ridiculous. I think there should be an accounting for where this money is going. No one should go to this festival expecting it to be a charity event and only one dollar out of 35 going to Second Harvest. • The Farragut Food Festival had 1,300 people in attendance according to the farragutpress. The ticket were $25 in advance, $30 at the event and yes, there were some children’s tickets. But they grossed $30,000 or more in ticket sales and the farragutpress reported the following week that it was a success and they raised an entire $1,000 for Second Harvest Food Bank [of East Tennessee]. Where did the other $30,000 go?

ETCH seeks homemade art, supplies for patients

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut residents can help brighten up the holidays for children in East Tennessee Children’s Hospital this season. Parents can spend time with their children creating homemade artwork and then bring in or mail the drawings before 5 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 17, to farragutpress, 11863 Kingston Pike, Farragut, TN 37934. Donations on Saturday, November 15, 2014 also can be brought in to farragutpress before the deadline. The drawings and donations will be delivered to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital Volunteer Services. “I think it’s wonderful,” Cheryl Allmon, ETCH director of volunteer services and programs, said. “It’s a children’s hospital and
what a better way to express that than to make it look bright, cheery and welcoming.” The drawings will be displayed in farragutpress front lobby before being taken to Children’s Hospital, displayed and given to young patients. Residents also can donate the following needed items: clean and used clothing for any age, sweat pants for ages from infants to extra-large, new socks and underwear, sample-sized toiletries, toys and craft supplies, food pantry items, microwavable meals and prepackaged granola bars. “And, of course, toys for Christmas are always welcome,” Allmon said. “All donations come through the volunteer services office, so any donations that come in are processed through our offices and then distributed throughout the hospital and out-
lying areas.” Farragutpress teamed up with Zaxby’s of Farragut to help the hospital collect the drawings and donations. Sandra Getley, classified account executive, said several members of farragutpress staff came up with the idea. “We all thought it was a nice thing to do for the children stuck in the hospital during the holidays,” Getley said. “We want to fill the hospital with drawings. We would like the children to feel the love of the Farragut community and let them know people are thinking of them.” “Our young patients need to know there are people who care about them and are thinking of them,” Allmon said. “It instills that giving-back nature in the children who are making the pictures to send here.”

They circulated a petition during the FGC meeting. Loudon County Mayor Buddy Bradshaw spoke about how his county recently lifted its ban on

permitted handguns in county buildings. Bradshaw, newly elected as of Sept. 1, joined “six out of 10 new commissioners” who took swift action to lift the ban. “The gun ban had been in place in our county buildings since 2007,” Bradshaw said. “… Unanimously, a 10-0 vote, we pulled the gun signs down.” After the meeting, Bradshaw said, “You can carry in any county office building except the two courthouses, and that includes
… our courthouse annex.” Though Bradshaw said about Loudon County lifting its ban, “I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal,” he added that three Knoxville television news reporters “all showed up on the same day.” Johns said the club’s cause of fighting the Town’s ban on permitted handguns in parks and greenways “got picked up on The [Associated Press], Washington Times picked it up, a lot of news channels and everything.”

While sweeping Grainger County in its varsity basketball home season openers Saturday night, Bearden’s boys and girls hit the accelerator pedal at different times.
Justin Underwood’s Lady Bulldogs actually trailed for much of Lady Bulldogs 70 the first Lady Grizzlies 60 two-andhalf quarters before a late third-quarter spurt — with crisp passing, deadeye shooting and dominant
rebounding and board work from then on — turned the tide Nov. 14. “The first half we looked like we were sleepwalking, the gym was really quiet,” Underwood, BHS head coach, said about a 7060 win. “I challenged them at halftime to really come out com-
municating with each other on the floor and try and share the basketBulldogs 68 ball. They did that Grizzlies 54 really well for about a quarter-and-a-half.” Both Grainger teams fell to 1-1. Meanwhile, a pair of juniors

It didn’t seem to matter that Knoxville Catholic’s defense would come up with a number of impressive stops against lightning fast Fulton Friday night. The two-time defending Class 4A state champion Falcons simply broke a series of long scoring plays, their trademark, during this chilly Nov. 14 second round TSSAA playoff game. Also effective in largely taking away the Irish deep passing game, while keeping explosive sophomore running back Amari Rodgers in check most of the way, top-ranked and undefeated Fulton rolled to a 51-14 home victory. Catholic’s season ends with a 10-2 record. Fulton extends the program’s winning streak to 33. Steve Matthews, Irish head coach, said Fulton’s speed “was kind of a shock to our system early on both sides of the ball. “Our defense, I thought, settled down and started playing a little bit better,” Matthews added. “Offensively they just make things so tough on you. They basically put everybody at the line of scrimmage and make you throw it over their head in order to move the ball. We hit a few, but we missed more than we hit. … I do think they’re so physical in the secondary. “Things kind of snowballed from there. They’ve just got athletes all over the field and they were the better football team tonight.” Catholic scored on a 62-yard pass from senior quarterback Zac Jancek to Rodgers, cutting the Fulton lead to 13-7 midway into the first quarter. A 36-yard run from senior Logan Lacey and a nice, leaping 29-yard touchdown reception by senior Dom Souder were highlights of Catholic’s other scoring drive, which ended with 1:21 left in the third quarter. Senior Irish kicker Adam

Catholic linebacker Jones Albritton (44) and defensive back Jeffrey Woods force a fumble by Fulton receiver Domonique Williams. The Irish recovered, but lost 51-14.
Jones was 2-of-2 on extra points. Defensively, KCHS sophomore cornerback Jeffrey Woods grabbed Falcons 51 an interIrish 14 ception. “We knew they were going to come out and make some plays, and they did early on,” Jancek said. “They took our momentum away. ... They’re just the best team right now.” Corey Ostrowski, Irish senior defensive lineman, said Fulton “is athletic, and we just didn’t rise to the occasion like I thought we would.” Lacey, also a senior inside linebacker, said about Fulton, “They’ve got a lot of athletes. We just gave up the big plays.” Rob Black, Fulton head coach, said that while Catholic “was good on both sides of the ball,” he was especially concerned about the Irish defensive front. “I was hoping we’d be able to move them a little bit. I thought our guys played well,” he said. “We had some guys step up up front.
… We were able to get to the second level, or on the edge enough times to make that really be what the key was in the game,” Black added. A 94-yard run by Fulton fullback D.J. Campbell set up the first Falcons score at the KCHS 2 on its second possession. A lot of Catholic supporters on the sidelines, in addition to a loud response in the Irish stands, thought Campbell fumbled while being tackled. Catholic recovered but the officials blew the play dead. Though Matthews said he was unsure about that call, “I thought there could have been a couple of pass interference [calls],” he added. However, concerning the outcome, “The refs didn’t have anything to do with the game,” Matthews said. Kentel Williams caught a 65yard pass making it 13-0. A 42yard pass to K.J. Roper set up the next TD. It was 30-7 at halftime. See IRISH-FULTON on Page 8A
Spartans roll, two wins from football state title ‘3-peat’ ■ KEN LAY

Webb School of Knoxville football head coach David Meske expects Brant Mitchell to make big plays, and the senior fullback and linebacker usually delivers as he did Friday night. “I was really proud of Brant Mitchell,” Meske said after Mitchell led Webb to a 62-20 victory over Davidson Academy in
the TSSAA Division II-A State Quarterfinals. “He was outstanding. “He played great on the offensive and Spartans 62 defensive side.” Bears 20 That was perhaps the understatement of the 2014 football season as Mitchell scored four touchdowns and rushed for 145 yards on 12 carries in the first half of the
game against the Bears (5-7). Mitchell wasted little time making an impact for the Spartans (7-3), who began their march toward a third consecutive state title and fifth championship in six years. He scored on Webb’s first three possessions and helped the Spartans open a 21-0 early in the second quarter. Mitchell gave Webb a 7-0 lead on the game’s opening possession
with a 9-yard run. His inaugural touchdown run of the evening culminated a 10-play, 64-yard drive that consumed nearly five minutes. And that was only the beginning. After Alexander Berube intercepted a pass from Davidson Academy quarterback Dakota Quinn, it didn’t take long for the Spartans — and Mitchell — to cash in on the turnover.
Mitchell’s 67-yard scoring scamper gave Webb a 14-0 lead with 2 minutes, 58 seconds remaining in the opening frame. He scored his third rushing touchdown early in the second quarter to give the Spartans a 210 lead and all but put the game out of reach. Mitchell also returned a thirdquarter interception for a 16See WEBB on Page 8A

As good as the Knights looked in a 9-2 win against Farragut to open the KAHA High School League season, “I don’t think our team gave much of an effort.” That was only one sentence of many critical comments from FHS head coach Jeff Lindsay fol-
lowing the Thursday, Nov. 13, game in the Icearium. “Offensively we didn’t pressure them with the puck, we just stood back and let them skate it out. “Defensively we backed right in,” Lindsay added. “Our goalie [Tatum McGill] made some good saves, but she didn’t get a whole lot of help. I don’t know if it was
first-game jitters or what. “We really did not play good.” Farragut goals came from freshman Knights 9 J o h n Barckhoff Admirals 2 in the first period and junior Steven Popovich in the third. Both goals were assisted by senior Kyle Lindsay. The Knights led in
shots-on-goal 27-12. Coach Lindsay did say his freshmen “played well and they stuck in there,” while sophomore Parker Miller, a first-year FHS player, “had a good game.” “We had a lot of breaks in defense initially, and our forwards weren’t back-checking at all to get back on their men,” Popovich, center/right wing,
said. “And basically we let their best players skate through us and just get to our goalie and get open shots.” Kyle Lindsay, senior defenseman, agreed. “We had a breakdown in defense,” he said. “We’re a young team this year, a lot of freshmen, and they had to get grounded in the high school league.”

opening frame. HVA opened a 220 lead before Central’s Stephanie Childress buried a 3-pointer with 2 minutes remaining in the opening frame. Hardin Valley, which had a 27-8 lead by first quarter’s end, surrendered just two points in the second stanza and didn’t allow a field goal. Keeley Yeary’s free throws represented all of Central’s offense in the period. “We’ve worked really hard and this feels really good,” Davis said. “I thought we played a good team game.” Cornelius agreed. “This was a great win and all of our hard work over the last three weeks has paid off,” she said. “I thought we played well.” The Lady Hawks had a balanced scoring attack as Symphony Buxton scored eight points. Battle added seven and Olivia Wyatt finished with six. The HVA boys also posted an impressive win. The Hawks (1-0) also employed a stifling defense to open an early 15-4 lead. Hardin Valley forced the Bobcats into six turnovers on Central’s first eight
possessions. “Our pressure is part of what we’re doing this year,” senior Blake Shockley said. “We’re trying to speed them up and create turnovers. “It was our first game and we were kind of hyped up and we wanted to play the best game we could.” The gameplan worked as the Hawks scored points in bunches en route to opening a 33-18 lead by the end of the opening frame. At one point, the Bobcats clawed to within 19-15 before the Hawks scored 14 straight points. “We wanted to force turnovers and that was the game plan tonight,” said senior guard Caleb Clevenger, who scored 13 points, including a half-court jumper as time expired in the third quarter. Shockley also had 13 points, including three 3-pointers. Junior Tyler Durden finished with 12 points. Jason Love had nine. Seth Long scored eight. Hunter Canon, Tyler Thompson, Jordan McCroskey and Tristan Neilson scored six points each.
From page 5A
Davis scored a game-high 18 points while Bekah Hampton and Abbey Cornelius added 10 points each as HVA made short work of Central. The Lady Hawks (1-0) used a stifling pressure defense to open an early 16-0 lead midway through the first quarter. “It’s always nice to start the season off strong,” HVA head coach Jennifer Galloway said. “It’s nice to see how everybody reacts. “I thought that we took care of the basketball and I thought we were sharp and focused on defense. Our defense led to some easy baskets.” The Lady Bobcats struggled to get the ball past half-court early and Hardin Valley took advantage of Central’s youth and lack of size. Senior Brooklyn Battle’s 3pointer opened the scoring and Hampton had eight points in the first quarter, including a pair of baskets that helped the Lady Hawks open the 16-0 lead they enjoyed at the 4:36 mark of the

at halftime. Junior Madison Rice led the Lady Bulldogs in scoring with 16. Olivia Pfeifer added 15, Anajae Stephney 11 and Chanler Geer 10. Rice “really did a good job of hitting that mid-range [jumper],” Underwood said. Rice said, “We realized that we needed to pick it up as a team, and if we came out like the first half we weren’t going to have the results that we wanted. … We shared the ball a lot better and we started rotating it faster to get more looks for everybody.” Stephney, a junior post, came off the bench with six points early

ended up with seven steals, five deflects and 20 points,” Blevins, head coach, said about his junior point guard after a 68-54 win. “Quez has been phenomenal defensively. He’s the guy that makes us go.” “… Jason Smith had a great game. … Led us in rebounding with 12, a career high,” and scored 15, Blevins added about the junior post. “That’s two great defensive games that we’ve had.” Underwood’s girls (2-0) trailed 14-12 after one period and 31-26
in the third quarter along with some key rebounds. Stephney “kind of got us sparked,” Underwood said. Isabel Soldner came off the bench to score eight. Trinity Lee scored four, and Holly Hagood and Katelyn McReynolds three each. Fair said about the boys win, “I just think our team hustled and played good defense during the second half. We got it together.” Sam Phillips and Ty Chandler each scored 10 for Bearden (2-0), with Austin Duncan adding eight, Jake Elkins three and Will Snyder two points.

yard score. “He’s a Georgia Tech commitment and he’s supposed to make those kinds of plays,” Meske said of his senior. “He’s a Division I football player, so he needs to play that way.” Mitchell also got plenty of help from fellow senior Liam Willoughby. The tight end and defensive end caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Brock Beeler to extend the Spartans’ advantage to 28-0 midway through the second stanza. Willoughby also made key tackles and sacks on defense. “It was a highlight film for Liam Willoughby tonight,” Meske said. “He made plays on offense and defense. On special teams, he was out there making plays all
over the place.” Webb got its final touchdown of the first half when Beeler scored on a 40-yard punt return. The Bears pulled to within 35-7 late in the half when Jackson Broadwell recovered a teammate’s fumble in the end zone. In the second half, Webb continued to dominate. Juwaan Jefferson, Thomas Jordan and Bryson Glenn had rushing touchdowns. “We have the frame of mind that we haven’t won anything yet,” Mitchell said. “We have a tough game and a tough team ahead. This is only the beginning. ... We’ll have to come out and play like we did tonight.” Webb will host Evangelical Christian School in the state semifinals Friday, Nov. 21. Opening kickoff is slated for 7 p.m.

Falcon Domonique Williams took over in the second half. His 65-yard punt return touchdown made it 37-7. A 34-yard Williams TD catch followed. His last scoring run totaled 43 yards. Fulton starting quarterback Adam Diggs suffered a “small sprain” to his ankle, forcing him out of the game after being sacked midway into the fourth quarter. “… I think he’ll be ready to go next week,” Black said. Despite the lopsided loss, “I don’t think that game is indicative of where this Catholic program is, or where it’s headed,” Matthews said. “We’re still an extremely young team. “It’s a learning experience for all of us.”

State Farm welcomes new agent Josh Hemphill, taking the reins at 11420 Kingston Pike in Farragut. “It’s exciting,” Hemphill, a Knoxville area native, said. “It’s a dream come true.” The agency’s predecessor, Jack Plauché, retired after 26 years. “... There were other things to do,” he said. Plauché said he and his wife, Susan, who worked with Plauché at the agency, discussed Hemphill’s coming to the agency. “I think he’s probably the most capable agent I’ve encountered,” Plauché said of Hemphill. “He’s very welltrained and knowledgeable.” Hemphill opened the agency’s doors as Josh Hemphill State Farm Saturday, Nov. 1. He brings almost 11 years of insurance and financial experience to the agency.

Hurricane Grill and Wings to open ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress
Farragut area residents can get tastes from the beach this winter, when Hurricane Grill and Wings opens a new site at 319 Lovell Road. As it works on major changes to its new home, formerly Ruby Tuesday’s, Hurricane Grill & Wings held a groundbreaking, hosted by Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce, Friday, Oct. 31, at the new site. General manager Justin Barnhill said the owners are planning to open the restaurant Monday, Dec. 8. “We wanted to bring the beach to East Tennessee,” Barnhill said. “We are part of the Turkey Creek development. “We want to welcome everyone,” he added. “We are looking to have a fun, beach-themed atmosphere.” The restaurant will have the area’s first indoor/outdoor bar and a cantilevered patio, Barnhill said. The restaurant, as a whole, can seat about 270, which includes the patio, and a surf shack will be able to seat small parties up to 25, he said. The restaurant also will have a lounge area. Its menu will include everything from fresh wings and burgers to grilled mahi mahi, salmon, fried haddock and shrimp, Barnhill said. Barnhill said owners plan on selling beer, liquor and wine in the restaurant, he added. Hurricane Grill & Wings fea-

and until 1 a.m. weekends. “We will have live music and televisions for sports fans,” he said. “We want to appeal to everyone. When it’s cold outside, you can escape to the beach.” For more information about Hurricane Grill & Wings, call 865932-1075.

While Hardin Valley Academy’s recent participation in TSSAA Class AAA Girls Soccer State Tournament closes the door on high school soccer for the calendar year locally, the subject of concussions in the sport is quite an open door of opinions. If not a remedy for the problem, at least one area high school girls team (Loudon) and individual players from at least a few other girls teams have donned protective headwear. “I know in youth soccer, I coach a U-12 FC Alliance boys youth travel team as well. … So what some of my parents have done so that [a concussion] doesn’t happen is they’ve bought them some headgear to wear during the game,” Mike McLean, HVA girls and boys soccer head coach, said. Though McLean said, “I haven’t heard any proof yet” that such headgear does help prevent concussions, he added he’s been encouraged because of Great Britain soccer star goalkeeper Peter Chek. “He’s had a few concussions being a professional keeper, and he’s been wearing that for a few years now and it doesn’t affect his game at all and he’s been able to play,” McLean said. “It was almost going to end his career because of concussions.” Ryan Radcliffe, Bearden High School girls and boys soccer head coach, estimated that “within five years I would say you could come to a [high school] soccer game and see a majority of the girls wearing it. “I haven’t heard that the headgear doesn’t work.” “Three or four” Maryville High School girls players — who Radcliffe said he coaches on Knoxville Crush U-16 club level — wore headgear this past season. Asking one of those girls why she wore it, “She said, ‘I go up for a lot of headers. It’s just prevention,’” Radcliffe said. Radcliffe said he had “three or four” of his BHS Lady Bulldogs players who suffered

A student from a Farragut public school once again stands tallest among thousands of Knox County elementary, middle and high school students: finishing as top overall seller during 2014 Knox County Schools Coupon Book Campaign. Kailey Bostick, a Farragut Intermediate School fifth grader, sold 314 books, $10 each, during a countywide sales period from Sept 4 through Sept. 22. Kailey and other winners and top sellers, including secondplace Middle School finisher Collette Quist of Farragut Middle (top overall seller last school year) were recognized during a celebration banquet Thursday, Nov. 6. “Knox County Schools is pleased to recognize Kailey Bostick from Farragut Intermediate School as the top-selling student in the 2014 Knox County Schools Coupon Book Campaign,” Scott Bacon, KCS Supervisor of Busness Partnerships, said. “Kailey and her family sold 314 coup-on books, making a powerful impact on classroom needs at Farragut Intermediate. This is the second consecutive year a student at one of the Farragut schools was the leading seller in the coupon book effort. “She did a great job. She had a lot of support from her parents, Kent and Rhonda Bostick, but she did sell them herself,” Karen Whitney, FIS bookkeeper/fundraiser coordinator, said. “We thought that was exciting. “And she’s just a top-notch student all the way around,” Whitney added. “She does great in the classroom and now we know she’s a good salesperson, too.” FIS student Howie Sentell finished sixth with 160 books sold. “He did an awesome job,” Whitney said. “We’re just proud of them.

Farragut graduate Waibel’s leap of faith draws Volunteer cheers ■ ALAN SLOAN

Harry Kirk, left, and Roger Amann enjoy some time talking with Tess Waibel, freshman member of UT Cheerleading team and 2014 FHS graduate, during a pep rally at Parkview Senior Living Community Friday afternoon, Oct. 3.
Taking the chance she could actually make The University of Tennessee Cheerleading Squad, Tess Waibel had to bypass her senior prom at Farragut High School in late April. “It was definitely challenging, but I had confidence and faith it would work out,” said Waibel, a UT freshman and one of 16 cheerleaders among “about 65 trying out” to make the squad. “I was happy with the preparation I had put into it.” In fact, “I had a good time. I thought it was almost fun to kind of finally get to jump into the
Tennessee Cheerleading world,” Waibel added. About missing senior prom, “Now I wouldn’t second guess that decision at all,” said Waibel, who labeled herself “definitely a UT fan” before even being accepted as a student. It was a family atmosphere at Parkview Senior Living Community in Farragut Friday afternoon, Oct. 3, where Waibel was one of six Vols Cheerleaders plus five members of UT Dance Team, along with “human” mascot, Smokey, who came to fire up senior residents one day before UT’s home football game against Florida. Waibel seemed quite at home
mingling and talking with Parkview residents. Two of those were Harry Kirk and Roger Amann. “This was pretty nice, I think everybody enjoyed it,” Kirk said. “It’s nice they came and talked to us.” “They were sweet and happy to have us here,” Waibel said. “It is fun for us, too. … I love doing these types of things.” Though Waibel, 18, hasn’t been along for any football road game cheering, she stays busy as a Vols cheerleader: the squad also cheers for UT Volleyball, Men’s Basketball and Women’s Basketball teams.

Grateful for what he labeled “a really great experience at Hardin Valley Academy” because he was “so well prepared for college,” Maryville College student/athlete Josh Krebs has developed a scholarship to help senior Hawks football players go to college. This 2011 HVA graduate, a twotime South Atlantic Conference All-Academic Football Team honoree (3.3 grade point average) while in his third season as a starting outside linebacker for the Scots, established Hawks Original Team Scholarship, $500, in 2013. The scholarship money is collected by Krebs, an MC senior, from the pockets of himself and other members of Hardin Valley’s first varsity and junior varsity football teams in 2008 and Krebs 2009, respectively. Jack DeFur, HVA Class of 2014 graduate who earned a football scholarship to East Tennessee State University (which is starting up its football program next school year), was the inaugural HOT Scholarship recipient. Interested Hawks football seniors are required to fill out an application and also write a roughly 300-word essay about “what role football has played in the athlete’s life … and what Hardin Valley really meant to them,” Krebs said about the criteria, which must include making an impact upon the HVA football program.

FIS hosts Grandparents Day Sept. 26
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Grandparents of Farragut Intermediate School third-graders turned out to enjoy lunch during FIS Grandparents Day. Grandparents gathered their grandchildren and piled into the school’s cafeteria Friday, Sept. 26. “We came over for this day,” Barbara Janowski said of she and her husband, Bob Janowski. They traveled from Sparta to visit their grandson, Garrett Campbell. “It’s great,” Barbara said. “We wouldn’t miss it for the world.” “I’m a school bus driver in White County, so I know how important it is,” Bob said. “We had 18 third-grade classes, so that’s a lot of grandparents,” Amy Kroninger, school counselor said. ”I think it’s very exciting,” Nancy
Walker said. She visited her granddaughter, Audrey Fey. “I live in Maryville, so I took the day off. This is my first time being here.” For more than two decades, Farragut Intermediate School’s third-grade students and staff have welcomed grandparents for lunch at the school, Linda Styles, FIS assistant principal, said. “This annual event is one of our favorite activities that we do to recognize the strong ties between families and the school,” Reggie Mosley, FIS principal, said. Pat Mabry of Farragut said she looked forward to the event. “This is my first experience with it,” she said. Mabry visited her granddaughter, Audrey Bloom. “It’s the girl’s first experience, too. It’s exciting to see all these grandparents here with their grandchildren.” “It’s absolutely great,” Sandy
Flynt said. She and husband, Jordan Flynt, visited their grandson, Braden Barczak. “It’s a lot of fun to be able to see him. It takes me back to when his mama was in school.” Anita Perdue visited grandson, Marcus Spears. “It’s awesome,” Marcus said. “I think it’s exciting to be able to share a special day with our grandchildren,” Brenda Fields said about visiting third-grader Anna Claire Fields. Students said they were excited and felt good about having lunch their grandparents. Linda Cline and Niki Adams, third-grade teachers co-chairing the event, worked with their peers and parent volunteers to make the luncheon for guests memorable, Styles said. That work included See FIS on Page 6B

seniors inquiring about the Nashville-based university. Even a few sophomores and freshman could be found asking questions at various school tables, including VU. Alex Galindo was one of those younger ones, an FHS freshman on hand “to, like, see what I need to do” to prepare for college. “To take rigorous classes. Like what kind of ACT and SAT scores I need to get to be able to be accepted into private colleges.” Among a jam-packed FHS Commons filled with hundreds of high school students and their parents — mostly from FHS,
Hardin Valley Academy and Bearden High School — Galindo said he asked Vanderbilt undergraduate admissions representative Mary Beth Tift “what they consider, what they take into account” when accepting high school seniors. “Like the people that get accepted, how far along they are in their education?” Vanderbilt’s applicant acceptance rate “is really, really low,” Galindo said. “That’s a very competitive school.” Galindo, 14, accompanied by his mother, Laura Galindo, said he also visited tables representing the University of Pennsylvania (the only Ivy League school represented), Mercer and the
University of South Carolina. “I think a student, on their own, can come to each one of their events and have a learning opportunity and build on it each consecutive year,” Laura Galindo said. Zane Joyeuse, a 17-year-old HVA senior, said he’s looking to “study abroad” for his major in “international relations” and is looking for schools with top international programs. “I hopefully want to enter into either civil service, such as a foreign diplomat, or to become a derivatives trader.” Joyeuse quoted his grade point average as 4.3 (weighted) and 3.96 (unweighted). Penn appealed to Joyeuse
because “I’m really interested in the ability for me to study abroad [within] its International program,” he said. “Along with the incredibly diverse student body.” As for Purdue, “I love the closeness of the major cities” near West Lafayette, Ind. “along with the major research opportunities available. And how it’s one of the top-ranked schools in the nation.” Theo Baudry, 16, a Bearden High School junior, said being at College Fair proved to be an academic wake-up call. An NJROTC cadet at BHS, Baudry said visiting the military academies representatives “struck me with what they’ve accomplished in their lives,” adding
that College Night made him determined to improve his grades. “My goal would be to be in the Naval Academy,” building toward a career as “a Naval pilot.” “But there’s still a lot for me to do and accomplish for that to happen. … I need to work on my grades a little more. I get B’s, not A’s.” Baudry said retired U.S. Marines Maj. Belinda Twohig, Bearden NJROTC Senior Naval Science instructor, “Is the one who actually made me want to be in the military. And Chief [Randy] Dickson,” Naval Science instructor.

not. They haven’t shown anything to prove its one way of the other, have they?” As for girls being more vulnerable to concussions, “I don’t know that gender has anything to do with it,” Lindsay said. Dr. William Snyder Jr., neurosurgeon at The University of Tennessee Medical Center, said
about concussions, “They’re looking more closely at soccer now because off all the trauma from the heading of the soccer ball. … The ball hitting your head is a blow to the brain. … When your skull moves very quickly, the brain will lag behind and it will sort of bounce against both sides [of the skull].”
Headgear “may help some,” Snyder said. “If it can decelerate the ball before it gets to your head, it may affect how hard you can hit the ball.” “I would think a girl might be a little more susceptible; part of the reason would be because the head and the neck are just not as strong,” he added. “… Typically
for boys and girls, the younger you are the more susceptible your are. A 12-year old versus a 15 or 16-year-old would be more susceptible. … The brain is still developing. “When you get 18 to 20 you become a little less susceptible to concussions.”

Turning hobby into a profession From hunting as a child to corporate ‘Employee of the Month,’ Sykes loves his job in firearm sales

Martin Sykes received the opportunity of a lifetime in 2006. He got to convert found memories, such as “being the ‘bird dog’” when dove hunting with his father and uncle as a 12-year-old, into a profession. A firearms sales associate in the hunting department at Gander Mtn., Far-ragut location off Parkside Drive, “It was an opportunity to convert my hobby into a paying profession. … This is fun,” Sykes, 62, said about his more than eight years there. “I look forward to coming to work.” Based on glowing feedback of Sykes’ salesmanship from one

“Me and other alumni help choose the best applicant,” Krebs, who also is working to earn a jujitsu black belt, said. “Most of [HVA alumni] are either in college or just starting off our working careers. Hopefully, as the years go by, we can afford to give a little bit more.” “Josh is about as good as it gets,” Kandis Schram, MC athletic director, said. “He is a stand-up student-athlete and one that we’re proud to call one of our own.” “In high school, Hardin Valley Academy was a challenging school,” Krebs, a finance accounting major with a minor in econom-

Though having previous salesSykes man training and experience, “This was my first venture into retail sales,” Sykes said. “I had a fairly good background in firearms, target shooting and hunting,” Sykes has been at the Farragut location “the whole time” it has ics, said. “That’s when I developed my own study skills and things to that matter that helped me figure out what I needed to do well in my classes. “One class in particular, my AP literature class my senior year in high school, which I am so thankful I had that class,” Krebs, 21, added. “My teacher, Mrs. Sweeney, was a Maryville College graduate. She had us writing so much. We wrote several, several papers. … When I got to Maryville we were writing almost as much. And people [at MC] were complaining about it every day, but it was actually normal to me. I could handle it a lot better than some people.” On the football field at HVA, Krebs singled out football head

Catalog Co. before being hired. “They always had good products,” Sykes, who normally works Tuesdays through Saturdays, said. “I heard that they were going to have a store opening in Knoxville [metro area], and I said, ‘What better use of my time than to go work for Gander?’” Sykes said he enjoys working not only with the experienced, knowledgeable Gander Mtn. hunting and firearms customers, but also “folks who are complete novices, maybe never had any exposure to firearms or to hunting except what they’ve seen on
TV on in the movies.” On firearms, for example, “When I’m talking to them I’ll give them kind of a firearms 101,” Sykes added. “… It’s a real opportunity to share my experiences with someone who’s had none. That’s probably close to 15 percent” of Gander customers. “I get to teach, I get to preach, I get to prance, I get to dance,” Sykes added. “… I think what I enjoy the most about what I’m doing is when you get a customer in, or a couple, and something’s happened in the neighborhood, or to a friend or to a relative. And they’re concerned about their safety. “I try to help them find what they need, to help make them

I can’t say enough good things about him as a football player and as a person.” Jones recalls just how Krebs first came up with the idea in the summer of 2012.
“He said, ‘hey coach I got this idea about putting together a scholarship,’” Jones said. “… Last year he did all the paper-
feel secure,” which, he added, could range from “a personal protection handgun or home protection shotgun” to “pepper spray.” One couple, beginners with target shooting, that Sykes assisted came back and told him a few days later, ‘We’ve got a bone to pick with you,’” Sykes said. “I thought, My gosh, what have I done?’ And they said, ‘You never told us it was going to be fun.’” Overall at Gander, “It’s a very pleasant working environment,” he said. Sykes is engaged, with the marriage set for January, to Sharon McNeal. He has one son, Jonathan Sykes.

Sea Scouting Concord’s best-kept secret ■ TAMMY CHEEK
tcheek@farragutpress.com
Sea Scouting is probably the best-kept secret in East Tennessee, George Hubbell, committee chairman of Sea Scout Ship 300, said. Sea Scout Ship 300 covers the Farragut and surrounding area. Hubbell, executive officer representing Concord Yacht Club, which sponsors Ship 300, said Sea Scouts use the term “ship” as the Boy Scouts use “troop.” Carter Busby, 13, said he joined the Sea Scouts because he always liked sailing. Busby said what he liked most about the organization is making new friends and learning more sailing skills. “Sailing is always a learning experience,” Hubbell said. “The weather is never exactly the same from day to day. Sea Scouts learn from one another, a key part of the program since its beginning in 1912.” Justin Douthat, 16, the boatswain’s mate, said he learned about the organization from another Sea Scout. “I was into sailing already,” Douthat said. “I learn a lot of essential sailing skills, knowledge and it’s fun.” Jeremy Driver, 13, said he had previous experience with a sail camp and joined Sea Scouts because he enjoyed sailing.

organization, church or community group that sponsors the group,” Hubbell said, adding for Ship 300, it is the yacht club, which sponsored it as an outreach program into the community. “Sea Scouting opens many opportunities for boys and girls to learn sailing, rules of the road on the water and maritime heritage,” Hubbell said. “It is a fun, mostly outdoor activity.” Among the activities in which members have an opportunity to participate is an international sailing competition. “Sailing with local Sea Scouts in a world-class unit is not just racing,” Hubbell said. “While Ship 300 has crews who competed in world competition at the International Sea Scout Sailing Cut Regatta held every two years, [Ship 300] mostly enjoys sailing, the outdoors and water sports.” For instance, Sept. 13 and Sept. 14, Hubbell said Ship 300 members sailed an overnight cruise from Concord Yacht Club to a

“I learn to be trustworthy, respectful and disciplined,” Driver said. John Walker, 17, the boatswain for Ship 300, said he had just gotten out of a sail camp and was looking for something to do besides soccer and baseball when he joined the Sea Scouts. The Sea Scouts, which are part of Boy Scouts of America, are seeking new members to join in the organization, with which they can learn to sail and gain lifelong skills, Hubbell said. Membership is open to boys and girls, ages 13 and eighth grade to age 21, he said. These scouts meet 1:30 p.m., Sunday afternoons each week, year round, at Concord Yacht Club, 111600 Northshore Drive. The membership fee is $25, but is free to registered Boy Scouts, Hubbell said. Sea Scouts 300 was started in 2002. “Every Scout [group] has a civic
