Day of Infamy talk scheduled for Dec. 2 ■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

Frank Galbraith, a retired geography and history teacher from Farragut Middle School, will present “Dec. 7, 1941 – A Day of Infamy” at 7 p.m., Monday, Dec. 2, at Farragut Town Hall. “The presentation starts at the end of World War I, and it takes us through the Roaring ’20s, things that went on in America

during that time and there will be sports and the rise of crime and the stock m a r k e t crash,” Galbraith said. “It will take us through the Galbraith G r e a t Depression. Then it will show the

rise of the three aggressor nations. That would be Adolf Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy and the Japanese military in Japan. And then it shows how the world was at war, but we were not in it yet. And finally, the Japanese decide that they’re going to attack the United States, and it shows their plans to attack Pearl Harbor.” America going to war is spotlighted in some slides after that,

he said. “This presentation is not a war presentation,” he said. “It’s a history of the United States going through the events they did leading up until our entry into World War II, which was precipitated by the attack at Pearl Harbor.” The presentation is free and open for the public to attend, he said. “If I were not giving this presentation, I would go see it wher-

ever it is,” he said. “It is so interesting. People relate to it so much. I always honor the veterans, and every year we have still had some World War II veterans [at the presentation]. ... They are invited especially to be here along with all veterans for the presentation, and we always honor our veterans that night.” Galbraith’s third cousin, U.S.

David Sparks recently was hired by the town of Farragut as its new assistant engineer. “[Former assistant engineer] Chris Jenkins’ last day was Friday, Aug. 2,” Town public relations coordinator Chelsey Riemann said in an email. “He left to take a position with another company.” Sparks said he was Sparks originally f r o m Hickory, N.C., and has a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He added he also earned an associate’s degree in architectural design at Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory, N.C. “In North Carolina, I worked in Greensboro for a consulting civil engineering surveying firm, doing design work for about five years,” Sparks said. “And then Pilot Corporation hired me and moved me here in ’98, worked for them for about three-and-ahalf years. ... After that, I started my own business, a construction company building homes, mostly in Blount County, up until 2005 when I decided to seek an opportunity with the state. ... So I worked for the [Tennessee] Department of Transportation in Region 1 in construction until 2012, June of 2012. I left them to go work for a company that offered me a position as a project manager with Architectural Graphics Incorporated.” Sparks served in his role as project manager of that company from June 2012 until taking See ENGINEER on Page 3A

Forming arguments against TCAP testing as a seventh-grader at Farragut Middle School, Ethan Young’s weaponry as a high school senior now is aimed at shooting down Common Core testing standards. It’s one thing for a high school senior to sound off about an issue — it’s another to have 1.4 mill i o n Young Yo u Tu b e responses after posting your videoed address before a November session of Knox County Board of Education. Young, an honors student at Farragut High School with a 4.44 grade point average, is looking for someone to confront him to counter his argument that state politicians, education executives and testing experts are too concerned with statewide student test numbers that could be used to impress industries to come to Tennessee. And less concerned with actually finding better ways to teach the state’s kindergartenthrough-12th grade public school students. “I was on Fox News [Monday, Nov. 18],” Young said. “I’ve had business people contact me, I’ve had lawyers contact me, I’ve had teachers contact me from all over the country and all over the world. And they’re all pretty much agreeing with what I’m saying. “I had a teacher in Switzerland tell me what I was saying was accurate.” As for one-on-one time, “I’ve spoken with Bill Haslam, the governor,” Young added about a

Business owner approaches Town about selling beer ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Some area business owners are seeking a change in Farragut’s beer ordinance so they can be allowed to sell beer in their businesses. Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen listened to area business owners’ requests during a workshop Tuesday, Nov. 19, in the Town Hall. Currently, the Town’s ordinance allows beer to be consumed on the premises of a business only if it serves food as well, Town administrator David Smoak said. “There is a ratio involved there as in no more than 40 percent of your sales can be from alcohol, so thus, at least 60 percent of your sales have to be from food,” Smoak said. “There’s nothing else in our ordinance right now

that allows for, say, places that only sell beer or sell something other than food to have beer.” Over the last few months, h o w e v e r, Town staff has fielded many questions and comments from different business Smoak o w n e r s about that section of the ordinance, he said. “Obviously, there’s no decisions to be made tonight,” Smoak told the Board, which also serves as the Town’s beer board. “We’re just trying to get your comfort level.” Among the business owners to which Smoak referred are Kelly and Tanya Hamm with Echelon

Burchett Principal for a Day ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

As Principal for a Day at Farragut Middle School, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett wasn’t exactly a spokesman for Knox County Schools. A countywide event where business and government leaders and other respected professions toured KCS schools between two and three hours Thursday, Nov. 21, Burchett visited with FMS C-SPAN class students. Roughly half of them gave Burchett a tour of the school before eight other class members joined the mayor for a roundtable discussion and question-and-answer session. Joined by FPS principal Danny Trent and assistant principal Wes Edmonds, Burchett was asked by one student, “What’s your thought about the new teacher evaluations?” “I’m not so much a fan of that. … I think that’s the principal’s job, really,” Burchett said. “… You’ve got kids who don’t know who their daddies are, and some of them don’t know who their mommas are. And the teacher’s going to be penalized because that kid’s acting up in class? “I think you’re going to see a push where we’re going to reduce teachers and increase the technology … and increase the number of bureaucrats in

policereports • Nov. 20: Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a 32-yearold woman in connection to a shoplifting claim lodged by Kohl’s department store in Farragut. The arrestee was observed attempting to steal a Columbia jacket valued at about $250. The arrestee also was identified through video surveillance of returning merchandise stolen from the Morrell Road Kohl’s and obtaining a gift card for about $80 from the Farragut store. The arrestee has three outstanding warrants including criminal impersonation, evading arrest and violation of parole. • Nov. 19: A Wexton Lane man reported to police his Jeep was burglarized while parked at the residence. Complainant advised the Jeep has a soft top and he believes the back window on the vehicle was unzipped and entry into the vehicle was gained. About $600 in property

was missing from the vehicle. • Nov. 19: A Smith Road resident advised police an unknown person pried open the window of his truck cab and took about $1,000 in hunting gear. Complainant stated the vehicle was parked in front of the garage and hunting gear that was not made off with was strewn across the driveway. Complainant stated he found a jacket among the items in the driveway that did not belong to any family member and asked that forensics come by and take possession of the jacket. • Nov. 16: Police were advised by a Kroger Marketplace representative an unknown suspect stole a vacuum cleaner from the business. Complainant stated the suspect left the store without paying for the item and tried to escape in a 1998 Dodge Dakota. However the vehicle would not start and the suspect took off on foot. Value of the loss is about $400.

About testing, “I’m a little skeptical of the Gates Foundation, what they’re doing with all that information when they do those tests on you all,” Burchett said. After his visit, Burchett said, “I’m afraid we’re pushing more and more technology and away from classroom teachers. And See BURCHETT on Page 3A

the position with the Town, he said. “I’ve got civil design experience and survey experience back in North Carolina, and then my work with TDOT was in construction and was involved with assisting the design folks there, as well as overseeing construction projects,” he said. Sparks described himself as a “hands-on kind of guy.” “I like accomplishing projects. ... I like the civil side of the business, that it affects everybody’s daily life — from roadways to bridges to developments,” he said. “Back when I was in consulting, I worked with developers to develop their projects from permitting to design to cost estimating and even construction management in some cases for the developers. So I worked with developers too, and I enjoyed that aspect of the industry as well.” Sparks described his responsibilities in his new role for the Town. “It varies greatly,” he said. “I’ll be working with TDOT to procure funding on capital projects that we want to do here in Town, and I’ll be working with all of their folks from design to construction and also funding. I’ll be working with our Town staff. I’m there to assist them with questions or any technical assistance as well as our Town engineer, handling contracts for different capital projects that we have.”

that scares me a little bit.” “There’s some super intelligent kids here, and I want them to be able to excel,” he added. “But I’m a little worried about some of the directions we’re going in in public education right now. “I think it’s good for some other folks to see what the heck is going on in here. And they need to have conversations with students like I had.” However, “Too many times, though, they filter it out and the

people downtown decide who gets to talk to the kids,” Burchett said. “Or they decide which kids and which teachers that are going to talk to them. It’s all programmed, and that’s not worth a flip. “What I had was great. I wish everybody could have that kind of interaction,” he added. At Farragut Intermediate School that same morning, Kristen Pennycuff-Trent, repre-

senting town of Farragut’s Schools Education Relations Committee, and Chance Martin, Walgreen’s Lovell Road manager, toured FIS for a little more than two hours. As for the value of Principal For a Day, “Seeing what students are learning, how hard they work, how hard the teachers work to really prepare students to apply what they know in their real lives,” said Kay Wellons, FIS

principal who led the tour. “I think it’s wonderful that businesses and educators can get together and work together for the sake of students.” As for Pennycuff-Trent and Martin, “They ask questions, they talk about programming, and then they’re able to go back out into the community” and share the information, Wellons said.

accessories,” he said, adding he polled many of his customers, and the interest in that concept is strong. Hamm said he is looking to have a full-spectrum coffee shop and a bar to serve not just beer but also other cold beverages, such as fruit juices, soft drinks and water. He reminded Board members the Echelon Bicycles’ building used to house different restaurants in the past, such as the Blue Sky Café, and previously had a beer permit. “I’ve been thinking about this [issue] the last few days,” Board member Ron Honken said, adding some folks introduced him to some of the area craft brew businesses in the area. “I know that’s not where you’re at, but what we’re seeing is a lot of change as you go into Knoxville itself,” Honken told Hamm. The alderman referred to one area, Northshore Drive and Interstate 40, where there is a craft beer market, The Casual Pint, and wine establishment called Drink. Honkin said he thinks there is an opportunity for new businesses to open in the Town. Along those lines, the Casual Pint Craft Beer Market owners, Nathan and his father, Jon Robinette, expressed their interest in moving The Casual Pint into Farragut. The market on 234 Brookview Centre Way in Bearden has been in business for two years, and its second location off Market Square has been in business since July, Nathan Robinette said. “We would love to do business in Farragut,” he said, adding they are looking at the new Kroger center for a potential location. “What we do does not fit quite just yet, and we’d like to help resolve some of the issues,” he said. He noted the business does not sell food, but customers are permitted to bring food into the Bearden market, and food can be delivered in its Market Square location. As such, he said, food establishments around his business benefit from The Casual Pint being there.

presstalk

presstalk@farragutpress.com • After reading the response in the farragutpress on Wednesday, Nov. 21, from the person who was upset that a parent gave a cold and uncaring response to their child on the “supposed” homeless panhandlers that are regularly, seen on the exit ramps of I-40 and others, I felt that I just had to respond to this person and here is why ... . My family and I travel the roads of Knoxville often mostly for commuting to and from work and we live in Farragut and get off on the Campbell Station Road ramp daily. Obviously this “offended person” has not paid much attention to these “panhandlers.” My family and I decided several years ago to pay more attention to these people and here is what we found out ... there is a small group of these panhandlers/actors ... yes! Actors! (about four or six in this group) Two women in particular, these women could be mother and daughter ... if you notice the older has a very good facial expression going in the form of a protruding, quivering lower lip! The daughter, if she is the daughter is “pregnant” at different times depending [on] which exit ramp or corner she is on. If you pay attention to these people you will also notice that their “ride” or “boss” or “pimp” or whatever you wish to call them are usually standing on the corner in the gas station or restaurant that is right at the exit ramp, waiting for these panhandlers to come back with the money! I have noticed these people even “changing shifts” and getting into their cars at the gas stations, which are usually the two on the exit ramp on westbound I-40 at Campbell Station Road, they get into their cars and hand over the money to the driver who in turn counts it. We have even seen these people in “vans” full of panhandlers that have been picked up and dropped off! If you really have paid attention you will notice that these people have been around here for years and years and they have been “homeless and need food,” “stranded and need help,” “abandoned and need money to get home” or just “out of gas and need money!” I have also been accosted by these people at the various “quick” stores on Campbell Station by people who say they are stranded

and need money for gas or a ride. I have personally said to these people.that I don’t have any money I can give them but I would be willing to call the police to help get them home only to have them take off in the other direction! It appears that they weren’t stranded after all! Watch these so called Panhandlers carefully. They are not all what they seem to be. Most of them are just “moochers” trying to see how much they can take you for! This is nothing but a racket by people who can make money without a job and pay no taxes! Also they must make some good money doing this panhandling because some of them get into some very nice cars and vans! Don’t get me wrong, I am well aware that homelessness is a serious problem and not all are moochers, some are panhandlers because they have no choice. But these people who are hanging around in the Farragut area “are” moochers and have been for years! Watch them sometime and see where they go after they are finished in one spot. Look around and see if you can spot the car that is waiting for them! Even the ones who’s [sic] sign says they are “stranded!” You will be surprised at what you see! I have been stopped behind women alone at the traffic lights who have given money to these panhandlers, that is such a dangerous thing to do for anyone but especially a woman alone! Can you imagine what one of those panhandlers could do if they reached in the car window and grabbed that woman and took her wallet or purse or heaven forbid, hurt that woman or for that matter even a man? For the most part, I have only ever witnessed “women” giving money to these people. I guess women are a good “mark” for the beggars! Personally, something needs to be done about these people. They need to get them off our street corners and if they are really and truly in need, then they can be taken to where they can get some help like the Salvation Army or KARM or any place like that! We are not uncaring or cold about the homeless we just don’t want to contribute to a bunch of moochers pretending to be homeless!

brief encounter. “Particularly Gov. Haslam, his interest is business, and he has a bunch of jobs coming up over here, and he has a ton of people who don’t have college degrees. These jobs require more college degrees; he needs more college degrees. “So he’s very bottom line. He’s business oriented, which is what Common Core’s all about in a lot of ways,” Young added. “It’s a very business-oriented model because the people who created it are business people, they’re legislators, they’re testing executives.” Such standards “are written by no one who’s actually implementing the standards.” “If you ask almost any teacher if that model makes any sense, they’re going to tell you ‘no,’” he added. “But unfortunately they didn’t have much of a voice in

on here.’” “Now I here a lot of concern about the Park assessment, the testing,” Carson added about testing starting in 2014-15 school year. “’How are my kids going to test on a computer when we don’t even have computers? How are my kids going to test on a computer when they don’t have keyboard skills?’” “I have concerns with it, too,” Carson added that computer readiness in her district schools, including Farragut schools, remains “a huge problem.” However, aside from testing uncertainties, “I support Common Core standards” involving more critical thinking, Carson said. Moreover, Young said, “There are things about Common Core that are positive. I think the shift to more practical applications of what you’re learning, and skills associated with learning, that’s great.”

the creation of these standards.” The bottom line for Young: “a lot of things that you learn, a lot of things that you can take away from education as a student are things that you cannot demonstrate on a test,” he said. “… They’re neglecting that reality completely.” As for school board responses to his argument, “They don’t have a response to that point. All they do is say, ‘well, but, we need more jobs.’” he said.

Faith Lutheran’s annual Cookie Walk, Craft Fair Saturday, Dec 7. ■ TAMMY CHEEK

tcheek@farragutpress.com

Cookie lovers are encouraged to come early to shop for holiday cookies during this year’s Cookie Walk and Craft Fair. The event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Dec. 7, at Faith Lutheran Church, 225 Jamestowne Blvd. in Farragut.

“Cookies sell out quickly, so shop early for the best selection,” said Caroline Erickson, publicity coordinator for the cookie walk and craft fair. “It’s just a fun, fun time. It puts you in the holiday mood,” said Jan Darnell, coordinator of the church’s food pantry. “We are raising funds for our Shepherd of Hope Food Pantry,

Darnell said. Money raised from the 12th annual event benefits the pantry, which has served 112 families since January, Erickson said. “Our numbers are still growing,” she added. “This is probably one of the biggest fundraisers we have for the pantry,” Darnell said. In addition to Farragut resi-

dents; the pantry also serves West Knoxville, Lenoir City, Bearden and Clinton, she said. “Our hope is it is a community pantry,” she said. “Farragut Presbyterian has partnered with us now, and we hope other churches will do the same. It [the pantry] may be housed here, but it isn’t just our church’s; it’s a community thing.”

Church of Christ providing Thanksgiving meals

ROBBY O’DANIEL

The Fall Inquirer’s Class at Farragut Presbyterian Church seeks to provide history of the church, information on the church’s inner workings and details on Presbyterian beliefs. Mikie Lancaster is co-chair of the New Member Development Committee at Farragut Presbyterian Church. The other co-chair is Lynn Kszos. “The class is geared toward those who have been visiting regularly who have shown some interest in joining, and it’s a way that we get them to know more about our church and certainly more about, if they don’t come from a Presbyterian background, more about Presbyterian tenets,” Lancaster said. “...The purpose of the class is to discuss important beliefs that the Presbyterian Church focuses on, as well as basic beliefs of the reformed tradition and also to make sure and acquaint them with our particular activities, both internal activities and our outreach with the community and the world.” Lancaster said there were two sessions of the class in October, and there were two sessions Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 in the Fellowship Hall of the church during Sunday School hour. “We discuss the history of our church,” she said. “We discuss a little bit about Presbyterian beliefs. We spend two Sundays talking about our various committees and what they do, both

Darnell said people also are encouraged to bring canned goods for the pantry during the event. As an added incentive for the church, Joan Pfrommer, coordinator of the cookie walk, said Thrivent Financial will supplement the funds the church raises. Darnell explained Thrivent

Farragut Church of Christ is working to provide Thanksgiving meals to others this holiday season. Thanksgiving food bags will be distributed at the church Sunday, Nov. 24, to those people that are invited from the Farragut Church of Christ Heaven’s Pantry program, said Sheila Cooper, one of the ministry leaders for Heaven’s Pantry. “We send out invitations just to people with children or elderly people,” Cooper said. “We don’t have enough money to do baskets for everybody that comes to the pantry, so it’s by invitation only.” Those invited were sent a card where they could mark if they wanted to receive a food bag and if they wanted to attend a family fun night happening also on Nov. 24, she said. “The people that we send the invitation to, if they want to join us for the family fun night, we’re going to do some crafts and things for the kids,” Cooper said. “... The people that are coming to get the food bags from Heaven’s Pantry have been invited to join us and to make a Christmas decoration for their homes.” People from the church congregation also were invited to the family fun night, she said. “We planned the activity, the family fun night, at the same time that the families from Heaven’s Pantry would be coming to pick up their food bags, so that we could ask them to join us for a family fun

The joy of being disorganized That’s the title of my new book and it’s filled with hope for the disorganized. The subtitle of the book is: Reformed Slob Shares 80 Secrets to a clean, cozy, peaceful home. Remember the old fable about the grasshopper and the ants? As it’s been told in English, G r e e k , Latin and German, the gras s h o p p e r Pam goofed off Young singing, Make it dancing and playing his Fun! fiddle while the ants work-ed relentlessly gathering food for the winter. While the grasshopper was socializing, the ants were organizing. The organized ants warned the procrastinating grasshopper that he’d be sorry when winter came. According to the fable, when the snows fell, the grasshopper got cold and hungry and had to beg for food from the ants. We come away from the fable thinking the grasshopper was wrong, that

he should have pulled his weight in the summer so he could make it through the winter. The way the tale is spun, it’s about the hazards of playing and enjoying life and the attributes of working hard and being organized. That spin has been around for centuries and has caused millions to put “get organized” on the I top of their New Year’s Resolution list. It’s obvious the ant colonies of the world have a great lobby. The lessons that failed to come out of that fable were about imbalance, lack of appreciation, and low self-esteem. It’s about the inability of the ants to find joy and appreciate the music and entertainment given by the grasshopper and the grasshopper’s failure to assert himself and show the ants his importance as a musician and happy companion. The ants should have been the ones to be warned that if they didn’t find balance between work and play they might have food, but they could easily end up on a shrink’s couch in search of meaning. All work and no play makes for very dull ants. The ants missed their opportunity to be entertained and be joyful. With a better self-image, the grasshopper would have been able to suggest helping the ants relax and enjoy life in exchange for food. Then everyone would have been happy.

Leave the organizing to the ants, pick up your fiddle and dance! It’s nonsense to feel guilty because you aren’t doing the work someone says you should be doing. Do you think Steven Spielberg (he’s on a list of disorganized celebrities) feels guilty because he’s not out on the farm hauling hay, slopping hogs, and milking cows? It’s time to enjoy your disorder and learn to delegate. The Martha Stewarts of the world are just itching to work and they need you to give it to them. I wrote that in one of the chapters in my new book, which is all about celebrating your disorder. After more than 35 years encouraging women to get organized, I’ve changed my tune. We are not housekeepers and homemakers,

birthnotices we are peacekeepers and peacemakers. When peace, not getting organized, is your objective, you’ll be able to look at your home and everything in it with the eyes of a peacemaker. That simple adjustment in attitude, along with new admiration for the awesome person you are, will be the perfect components for turning your home into a clean, cozy peaceful oasis from the world. For more from Pam Young go to www.makeitfunanditwillgetdone.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized, ways to lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.

The list included Thanksgiving staples such as stuffing, green beans, gravy, corn, yams, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, marshmallows, brown sugar and a dessert mix, she said. The list was a basic list of what to include, with some congregation members adding in their particular favorites for Thanksgiving dinner to the food bags when assembling them, she said.

her ultimate goal of becoming a professional world champion. With each ski season starting with late February training on Tellico Lake and ending in early December, Carter already has skied in two professional events. “It was amazing skiing in front of people that I’ve grown up looking up to,” Carter said. “Idolizing them and watching their video and their form and how they ski and wanting to ski like them. “Now I’m skiing side-by-side,” she added. “It was intimidating because I was on the same starting block [as McClintock].

awe, ‘I’m here, I’m here.’ She gave me an eyewink. It was cool.” “Even though she blew me out of the water, I still get to look up to her.” Moreover, “It was really cool. [McClintock] Tweeted at me, ‘Congratulations to the Under 21 Women’s Slalom event winner. … It’s so great to see the future of our sport rising,’” Carter said. As for setting records, “This summer I broke the Girls 3, which is the Under 17 national record [five-and-a-half buoys at 38 feet off], and that’s been standing for 13 years,” Carter said. Paul Crawford, a former water ski Men’s 3 Overall national champion, said Carter is uniquely “dedicated to practice with an

absolute focus on her training. … There’s a lot of kids that can ski, they flash the ability in practice, but when the pressure’s on and when she needs to ski well, she knows how to turn that thing on. “Brie has been, hands down, one of the strongest minds, especially on the women’s side, that I’ve ever experienced,” Crawford added. “… Four years ago is when she came on the scene and started winning everything. In the last two years, she literally has dominated the junior women’s slalom podiums all over the world.” Among the world’s top women’s slalom skiers in Under 21, Carter “is definitely in the top three,” Crawford said.

Condition of local bridges cause for concern? ■

Would a bridge estimated to be 83 years old, which is located on Everett Road near Town of Farragut, be a cause for concern when a 2012 Tennessee Department of Transportation inspection rated it in “fair” condition as opposed to “good” or “excellent?” The bridge, “North of the Interstate right there near that [Loudon] County-Farragut line … right there near that quarry where Watt Road turns into Everett … they’re showing it in fair condition,” said Jim Snowden, Knox County assistant director of engineering and public works, about that TDOT report. “It’s estimated to have been constructed in 1930.” However, “You look at that structure, and it’s a double-barrel boxed culvert,” Snowden added, doubting TDOT’s estimate. “That bridge isn’t that old. I look at it, and the type of construction I see

with this bridge looks like it was built in the 70s or 80s.” Moreover, non-weight-bearing concrete wall cracks and “bridge rails being substandard” were the biggest flaws TDOT listed in its inspection report, Snowden added. “That’s pretty typical.” Snowden said no repairs are planned for any bridges in the immediate Farragut-Concord area. “As far as the bridges out towards that area, we don’t have anything that’s rated in poor condition that would really justify work at this point in time.” Within town of Farragut, “We have 12 bridges that TDOT inspects on an every-other-year basis,” said Darryl Smith, Town engineer. “They provide us reports from their inspections and they identify any deficiencies. Most of the time it is up to us to go out and try to correct deficiencies as we can budget for them. If it’s a structural problem, that would throw up the alarm that ‘we need to get ready to replace the thing.’”

for

Smith said no structural problems were reported after TDOT’s last inspection in 2012. With the bridge connecting Turkey Creek Road near its intersection with Virtue Road as the newest of the 12, “There’s nothing that’s been put on our watch-list that I’m aware of,” Smith said. Smith said railroad officials “have always been easy to work with when I’ve needed to” con-

cerning working together where railroad underpass debris could affect motorists, for example, at the intersection of Boyd Station Road with Martel and Choto roads. Going back to the infamous 2002 train derailment in Farragut involving hazardous chemicals, “They were terrific,” Smith said about railroad officials working with the Town. About railroad cooperation,

Snowden said, “TDOT works with railroad just as if it were a county bridge.” However, Snowden characterized the County’s working relationship with railroad personnel as “OK,” adding, “The hardest problem with working with those guys, the folks that you deal with aren’t local.

Cookie From page 5A

Financial used to serve Lutherans but now it also serves people of other faiths. While it is a public company, it is non-profit; so money it would have made in profits or would have paid in taxes, it gives back to the community. One of the ways it gives back is through charities such as the cookie walk. For every $3 the church raises from the cookie walk and craft fair, Thrivent will give $1, up to $1,500, she said. “We hope that will be $1,500,” Darnell said. “So, that gives us a little more motivation to sell more cookies and crafts.” The crowd should not expect to find chocolate chip cookies and brownies there, Darnell said. “This annual event features thousands of homemade holiday cookies,” Pfrommer said. “We have 10,000 to 12,000. Our members bake all. They are all homemade, not store-bought.” “It’s neat to see all the different kinds,” Darnell said. “We’ve had as many as 100 bakers,” Pfrommer said. “We ask each baker to each make 10 to 12 dozen cookies.” The public will find the cookies in the church’s fellowship hall. “People come in and they have a choice of buying a medium-sized box for $10 or a large box for $15,” Darnell said. “Then they come in where the cookies are set up, they get gloves and 10 at a time are allowed to choose what cookies they would like to put in their boxes,” she said. “Once the boxes are filled, there is another table where people put ribbons and bows on the boxes.” “The cookies have sold out every year,” Erickson said. Besides cookies, the event also features for sale one-of-a-kind hand-

made crafts, such as embroidery, crochet and hand-sewn items, jewelry, aprons, wreaths, pillowcases and Nook and Kindle covers. “They are all unique and handmade,” Darnell said. “They are items you wouldn’t necessarily see sold anywhere else. A lot of the crafters just have a booth here.

“We turn away distributorships,” she noted. She expects to have 28 craft tables at the fair. She noted the craft tables will be open by 8:30 a.m. “While waiting for cookies, the people can shop for crafts in the narthex and in the room opposite the fellowship hall, she said.

Educate

if not already members somewhere in another town, and they’ve moved here,” she said. “... I think it would be helpful when you’re considering joining a church to fully understand what the church believes in.” If there is interest, she said the church tries to have the class three times a year: fall, winter and spring, though it is not always at the same time each year. “It’s sort of the way it seems to work best to acclimate visitors to our way of doing things,” she said.

From page 5A

inside the church and then our outreach in the community. And then it’s entirely up to the visitor.” After that, if visitors attending the class express an interest in joining the church, they meet with the congregation’s governing body – the session – and get accepted as members, she said. “I would think that, as I say, most of the people that want to join our church are already familiar with the Presbyterian Church,

Bridges From page 10A

neers in Indianapolis or Jacksonville, Fla. … They don’t know what that bridge or struc-

ture looks like.” Snowden said TDOT defines a bridge “as anything longer than 20 feet as you drive across it. … We’ve got about 200 of those that are 20 feet or longer.”

You’d better not pout . . . Santa Claus is coming to town at First Farragut United Methodist Church!

Small Biz Saturday Nov. 30 ■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

For the second year, the Farragut Business Alliance is a partner of Small Business Saturday, which will take place Nov. 30. “Small Business Saturday is a national initiative to get people out shopping with local, independently owned small businesses the Saturday after Thanksgiving,” said Jason Lalak, vice president of the Small Business Saturday Coalition. “... The spirit of the program really focuses on the fact that when you shop with locally owned businesses, so much more goes back to the local community. And consumers find that they have access to unique goods and services, and there’s a different level of customer service when you’re working directly with a business owner.” Small Business Saturday falls on the post-Thanksgiving shopping weekend between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. “Small businesses can get involved [with Small Business Saturday events] by going to www.shopsmall.com,” he said. “There, they can sign up to print special personalized posters connecting them to the national Small Business Saturday media campaign, and while supplies last, they can access free online advertising, as well as receive a tool kit for messaging for social media and tips about how other business owners have made Small Business Saturday successful for their businesses.” Lalak urged people to shop on the day and support local businesses. “Small Business Saturday has really made a foothold in the

post-Thanksgiving shopping weekend,” he said. “Last year, its estimated consumers spent $5.5 billion dollars at independently owned small businesses on Small Business Saturday. ... The day was recognized in all 50 states [last year]. ... And there were over 350 small business advocate groups that supported the initiative nationwide.” Allison Sousa, FBA executive

director, talked about why FBA decided to partner with the day. “First of all because it’s such a good fit with Shop Farragut and secondly because of the incredible social media promotion generated through the program for our small businesses,” she said. Sousa addressed the importance of shopping at small businesses. “It takes small businesses longer to generate the critical

mass they need to succeed,” she said. “So anything we can do as a community to help them reach that critical mass so that they do become profitable and they’re happy doing business in Farragut benefits all of us.” Sousa praised the day. “It’s a great way to support our locally owned businesses,” she said.

The Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce’s Holiday Open House will take place for chamber members from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 12, at the chamber offices. “The Holiday Open House is just a way the Chamber Board of Directors, myself and staff say thank you to all of our membership for their support and help with our growth throughout the past year,” said Bettye Sisco, Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. The annual event has taken place 12 years, Sisco said. “To say thank you to the membership is the most important thing that we can do because without our chamber membership and volunteers, we would not be anything,” she added. “... Our chamber members are our lifeblood. They are what the chamber is. The members are the chamber. So we just like to say thank you to them.” The event will feature food and music, she said. Food and drink sampling is provided by Chamber members, she said.

The event has grown as the Chamber has grown, she said. “It’s really just a gathering of everybody,” she said. “There’s so many things going on in the holidays that we just take a couple of hours because we know they have other things to go to as well, so we just want to take a little bit of their holiday time to say thank you, so that they can continue on to other functions. December is a very, very busy month for parties.

We just take a few hours to say thank you.” At the event, the restaurant’s logo, framed, is next to their dish or donation, Sisco said. “They have an 8-by-10 frame by their food, showing that they contributed,” she said. “... So that people can recognize where it came from, so they can go back and re-purchase.” There is no registration for the event, but the chamber is accept-

ing gifts to benefit Family Promise of Knoxville. “It’s for those families that are less fortunate than we are, so we’re taking gifts so that we can give them to them,” she said. “And if you can’t attend, we would still appreciate a gift of some sort – of clothing or food or whatever it might be – to help others have a fortunate and a fun holiday that might not happen without our help.”

Have mercy! Lady Ads route South-Doyle at inaugural FHS Thanksgiving Tournament

■

KEN LAY Correspondent

The opening round of the inaugural Admiral Thanksgiving Tournament brought mixed results for its host basketball teams. The Lady Admirals routed South-Doyle 54-14. The Farragut Lady Admirals 54 boys, meanwhile, South-Doyle 14 came up on the short end of a heartbreaking 70-69 decision against the Cherokees Monday night at FHS’s Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium. The Farragut South-Doyle 70 girls, despite a sluggish start, kept Admirals 69 their perfect record intact. The Lady Cherokees had a 4-3 lead early but the Lady Admirals (4-0) closed the first quarter with an 8-0 run to take an 11-0 lead. The Lady Cherokees (2-3) got four points from sophomore guard Chattin Atchley but were shut out after opening the brief early advantage. The Lady Ads’ defense also got stingy and didn’t allow a point in the second stanza. Meanwhile, Farragut’s offense clicked into high gear. FHS outscored South-Doyle 22-0 in the second frame. “I thought we might’ve pitched a shutout in the second quarter but I wasn’t sure.” Lady Ads head coach Jason Mayfield said after watching his squad open a 33-4 lead by halftime in a contest that saw

three Farragut players score in double figures. Senior guard Madison Maples led all scorers with 15 points while Kristen Freeman finished with 13 and Madyson Newby had 12. Newby and Maples have been stars while Freeman has toiled in obscurity for the last two seasons. On this night, however, Freeman showed what she could do. “I’ve waited my turn because we’ve had so many great players and we’ve had two great teams,” said Freeman, a junior forward/center. “I’ve enjoyed watching them and learning from them. “I’m excited to get a chance to prove myself and play with a great group of girls. Freeman’s effort certainly impressed Maples, who recently signed to play college basketball at North Georgia. “She came in here off the bench and she scored big points for us,” Maples said of Freeman. Mayfield agreed. “Kristen did a great job and sometimes nights go that way,” Mayfield said. “When you have eight or nine girls who can score you have to be more aggressive. “I was trying to get her to be more aggressive. You have to beg girls to shoot sometimes.” Farragut missed some early shots against SouthDoyle’s zone defense. But the Lady Ads turned things around in the second stanza. “We did a better job attacking the rim in the secSee ADMIRALS on Page 6B

Bearden sweeps Irish hoops teams 57-44, 48-26 ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

Bearden High School’s basketball teams notched a sweep at Knoxville Catholic High School Thursday. Nov. 21. The Lady Bulldogs downed the Lady Irish 48-26 while the Bearden boys outlasted Catholic 57-44 despite the fact that the Irish dressed only six players due to the football playoffs.

The Lady Bulldogs (4-0) overcame some cold shooting in the first quarter to notch a key earlyseason non-district win. Bearden f e l l Bulldogs 57 behind Catholic 44 early and f o u n d itself down 10-4 late in the opening frame before junior forward Madison Rice grabbed a pair of offensive rebounds and scored the

final two buckets of the quarter to pull the Lady Dawgs to within 10-8. “Madison was really big for us with those rebounds and putbacks,” Bearden head coach Justin Underwood said. “She comes to practice and works hard every day and she’s a very teamoriented young lady.” Rice’s work provided the initial spark for Bearden, which finally took control of the game in the

second quarter. “Having Madison was a big help,” said senior guard Erin Walsh, who scored a game-high 22 points, including Lady Bulldogs 48 14 after Catholic 26 halftime. “Madison works hard every day and Catholic has really improved and they did a good job. “We had to work really hard to

get this win.” The Lady Bulldogs trailed the Lady Irish (3-2) after the first stanza but came alive and outscored Catholic 12-5 in the second frame to open a 20-15 lead by halftime. Bearden was behind 13-12 before Walsh buried a pair of consecutive 3-point jumpers to give the Lady Bulldogs an 18-13 lead with 1 See BEARDEN on Page 3B

KEN LAY Correspondent

HIXSON — For the second time in as many weeks Knoxville Catholic High School’s football team made a trip to the Chattanooga area and came home with the narrowest of victories. Irish 14 T h e Irish’s latHixson 13 est onepoint win was a 14-13 decision at Hixson Friday night, Nov. 22. That win came on the heels of an overtime victory at Signal Mountain where Catholic recorded a 38-37

victory when it thwarted a 2-point conversion. The Irish (10-3) duplicated that feat again in the Class 4A Quarterfinal against the Wildcats. The offensive fireworks, however, were missing in this one as Catholic was lethargic early. “I think our kids came out flat in the first half and I think a lot of that was because we were making a second trip to Chattanooga,” Irish head coach Steve Matthews said. “First off, my hat’s off to Hixson. “They are a very good football team and I think they’re better than anybody up here thought

and we were able to win another close game.” The two t e a m s slugged through a scoreless opening quarter before the Wildcats (94) scored first in the Jancek w a n i n g moments of the second stanza. Hixson took the lead on Isaiah Robinson’s 5-yard touchdown plunge with 8.2 seconds remain-

ing until halftime. Luke White’s extra point gave the Wildcats the 7-0 advantage that they enjoyed at the break. Neither squad scored in the third frame but the Irish evened the game early in the fourth quarter. KCHS junior quarterback Zac Jancek had a 9-yard run with 10 minutes, 2 seconds left in regulation. Wyatt Price’s PAT knotted the score at 7. Running back Logan Lacey gave the Irish a 13-7 lead midway through the final period and Price added this second extra point to make it 14-7. The Wildcats answered on a 22-

yard scoring strike from Gill Brown to Preston Wilkey. Hixson opted to go for two but was turned away with 2:12 remaining in regulation. “They had a six or sevenminute drive and scored,” Matthews said. “They decided to go for two and we had three or four guys beat some blocks and we made a great play.” The Wildcats had another chance to nab their 10th win of the season for the first time in team history, but Catholic’s defense stood tall like it has all See IRISH on Page 5B

No-quit CAK falls to No. 1 Alcoa ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

ALCOA — Dividing up last Friday night’s Class 3A state football quarterfinal, Christian Academy Alcoa 42 o f Knoxville Warriors 14 won the first 15 minutes of the game and the first six minutes of the third quarter. But the state’s top-ranked A l c o a To r n a d o e s (12-1) won their portion going away, as hard running from junior Jaquez Tyson (five t o u c h downs), hard Smith hits, team speed and CAK turnovers added up to a 42-14 AHS victory Nov. 22 in Bill Bailey Stadium. While ending the CAK program’s two-time defending 3A state title reign, Alcoa sent the Warriors home a one-sided loser for the second time this season. Christian Academy, No. 6 seeded in Section 1, ends its season 6-7. With CAK’s goal line stand to end the half, keeping the score 28-7 before a third quarter rally, “We could have quit, but the coaches talked to us and told us not to quit and just fight on and whatever happens, happens,” Warriors senior center Zach Jenkins said. A 19-yard pass from CAK freshman quarterback Cole Smith to senior Billy Spencer on thirdand-long set up Drew Jost, senior running back, who scored from 1 yard out with 14 seconds left in the first quarter. Stephen Neu’s

conversion kick made it 7-6 Warriors. With Alcoa ahead 12-7 midway into the second quarter, CAK was burned by two costly turnovers. An interception turned into a 52-yard Tornadoes TD drive. An Alcoa fumble recovery left 41 yards for the next touchdown drive, making it 28-7. Yet another CAK fumble was recovered by Alcoa, but the Warriors’ goal-line stand kept the issue 28-7 at halftime. “Coach [Rusty] Bradley told us in the locker room, it was like, ‘You can be a man or you can just lay down and quit.’ It was our last game and we just wanted to leave it all on the field,” Jost said. Taking Bradley’s advise, Christian Academy made things a bit interesting early in the third quarter. The Warriors marched 59 yards to score, highlighted by a 10-yard Smith to Jost screen pass before Smith found senior Scott Sizemore open for a 6-yard TD pass. It was 28-14 at the 8:34 mark of the third quarter. The Warriors’ Ryan Long then recovered an onside kick, as CAK drove to the AHS 38 before a sack ended the drive and all momentum. But a third-down sack of Smith ended the threat. “I give all the credit to them, they’re a heck of a team,” Jost said of Alcoa. “They’re big, they’re fast, they’re the best team in the state.” Malik Love, Alcoa running back who scored on a 20-yard run, said the Warriors “came out more motivated this time. They had a lot to lose just like we had a lot to lose, so they put it all on the line.”

minute, 42 seconds left in the second quarter. After that, Bearden never trailed again. The Bulldogs wasted little time blowing the close game open early in the third quarter. The Lady Bulldogs’ defense stiffened after the break and allowed just 11 points after the break. “I think we played well in spurts,” Underwood said. “We’ve always prided ourselves on playing good defense but I haven’t done a really good job stressing that. “Catholic always plays you tough. They’re well-coached and they play good defense.” Walsh’s 22 points led the way for the Lady Bulldogs. Anajae Stephney added 13 for Bearden, which opened a 34-19 advantage by third quarter’s end. Susan Kenny led Catholic with eight points. She scored six points to keep things close in the first half. While the Lady Bulldogs put things away after a slow start, Bearden’s boys were involved in a struggle all night against the shorthanded Irish (2-3). The Bulldogs (2-2) led throughout the contest but the Irish went toe-to-toe with the Bulldogs, who have struggled early on. Catholic trailed by as many as 10 points in the third quarter but trimmed its deficit to 41-34 by third quarter’s end. The Irish pulled to with five when Austen Rhodes made the first basket of the final frame. Bearden would answer as Noah Gettelfinger made consecutive shots to give the Bulldogs a 45-36 lead with 6:17 remaining. Catholic’s Davari Reeder made the score 45-38 before a free throw by Gettelfinger stretched the Bulldogs’ advantage to eight points. Reeder closed the gap to 46-40 on a shot at the 4:43 mark, but KCHS got no closer. Catholic coach Mike Hutchens was extremely proud of his squad’s effort.

Spartans win, heading to BlueCross Bowl ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

MEMPHIS — Webb School of Knoxville’s football team will get to do what it’s wanted to do all season — defend its 2012 Division II-A state championship. The Spartans’ next stop will be Cookeville Dec. 5. Webb punched its ticket to the BlueCross Bowl with a 28-15 victory over previously unbeaten Evangelical Christian School Friday night at Legend’s Field. Webb got on the board first when Todd Kelly Jr. scored on a 27-yard scamper. It would be the first of three scoring runs for The University of Tennessee commitment, who scored his first TD on a fourth-down play. The Eagles, which finished the 2013 season with a 11-1 record

and averaged nearly 40 points per game this season, answered in the second quarter when Chandler Williams kicked a 27yard field goal to make the score 7-3. Those, however, would be the only points for ECS in the opening 24 minutes. “I was really pleased with the way we played Friday night,” Webb head coach David Meske said. “ECS is a very good football team. “We gave up three points in the first half to a team that normally scores a lot of points. Our defense did a good job against another spread team and [offensively, we had a 90-yard drive.” Kelly gave Webb (9-2) the 14-3 advantage that it enjoyed at halftime with a 15-yard scoring scamper. The Spartans controlled the game with its potent

ground game as Robby Strachan, who was a perfect 4-for-4 on extra points against the Eagles, also scored a rushing touchdown. Matthew Melton didn’t find the end zone on this night, but broke several key runs that set up Webb’s touchdowns. “We had [the] 90-yard drive,” Meske said. “We do what we do and we do it well.” Kelly’s third touchdown run extended the Spartans’ advantage to 21-3 with a 40-yard dash to the end zone in the third quarter. Strachan’s 13-yard TD run closed the scoring for the Spartans in the fourth quarter. ECS had a pair of touchdowns in the final stanza to make things interesting. Eagles’ quarterback Preston Parrish had a 57-yard run to pull the home team to within 28-9.

He also threw a 10-yard scoring strike to Christian

Webb, which will make its second consecutive trip to the state championship game, is looking for its third title in four years. Meske said his senior class is a big reason for another appearance on Tennessee’s biggest stage. “This would be a monumental accomplishment for our seniors,”

he said. “They not only provide us with leadership but they come to practice and work hard every day. “They do the things in practice during the week that they need to do to win games on Friday nights.” Webb’s next opponent will be St. George’s.

ond quarter and didn’t just settle for jumpers,” Mayfield said. “There’s just something about a zone. We settle for jumpers and everybody stands around. “In the second quarter, we weren’t just standing around.” And the result was a 33-4 halftime lead for the Lady Admirals. While Farragut’s offensive attack was balanced against the Lady Cherokees, Maples said that it was the FHS defense that made the difference. “We wanted to come in here and hold them to 35 points and we did that,” said Maples, who hit three 3pinters. “We did that. “We held them to 14 points.” While Maples, Newby and Freeman all scored in double fig-

ures, guard Anna Woodford also provided an early spark for the Lady Admirals. She scored the first eight points of the second quarter to help Farragut open a 19-4 lead with 6 minutes, 5 seconds remaining before halftime. Only two players scored for the Lady Cherokees. Karen Donehew led South-Doyle with eight points and Atchley added six. While Farragut’s girls had little trouble with South-Doyle, Farragut’s boys were involved in a battle where they came up just short. The setback was the second consecutive loss for the Admirals (2-2). Farragut opened the season consecutive victories over Anderson County and Gibbs but lost at McMinn County on Thursday, Nov. 21. The Admirals and South-Doyle (14) were embroiled in a high-scoring first quarter with the visitors cling-

ing to a narrow 22-21 lead. In the second stanza, however, South-Doyle used a 15-9 run to open a 37-30 lead by halftime. For FHS head coach Chris Cool, this is beginning to look like his team’s early struggles last season. “For whatever reason, we’re in this process again where we’re taking bumps and bruises,” he said. “If this is a lesson that these kids have to learn, then they’ll have to learn it before the district [season] starts. “I don’t like having to learn this but I guess I can live with it if they learn it by the time the district starts and we have one week until then. We’re not used to giving up 37 points in a half.” The Ads came out hot after the break. Farragut scored the first six points of the period and pulled to within 37-36 on a bucket by Billy Williams with 6:25 remaining. Will-

iams scored half of his 16 points in the third quarter but by the time the dust had settled, the Ads and the Cherokees played an even frame and the visitors led 56-49. At the beginning of the season, Cool was concerned about his offense. That wasn’t a problem on this night. Brian Park led the way with 19 points. Williams and Cameron Turner each added 16 and Matthew Eggert finished with 10. For FHS, the Achilles heel was its lack of defensive intensity. “In the first half, we weren’t getting back,” Williams said. “We weren’t hustling, even though we’d been working on that in practice. “There’s a lot of frustration in our locker room right now.” Farragut’s defense was better after halftime and the Ads took a 6765 lead on Turner’s three-point play with 1:58 to play.

South-Doyle’s Joc Bruce knotted the game at 69 with a pair of free throws. Williams scored Farragut’s last points with a basket at the 1:30 mark to give the Ads a 69-67 lead. Keandre Edkins re-tied the game with a shot with 1:11 to go before Bruce won the game with a free throw with 15.6 seconds left. The loss left Park dejected. “I’ve been through this for three years straight,” said Park, Farragut’s senior guard and 3-point marksman. “It’s been like this every year and I just don’t know what to say. “You would think we would learn from the things we did wrong last year or the year before that. We gave up 22 points in the first quarter and that’s 88 points per game and that’s crazy and that’s because of our lack of defensive effort.”
