Small Business RMFD coming to Choto Saturday results mixed
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
While owners of some small businesses in Farragut said they had some additional customers as a result of Small Business Saturday, Nov. 29, some others said business was slower than Black Friday. More than 40 businesses took part in Small Business Saturday, a part of the Shop Farragut campaign, which is a partnership between Farragut Business Alliance and town of Farragut. Jesse and Sue Boling, owners of Cranberry Hollow, said their business was good during Small Business Saturday. Participating in the event got the Bolings’ business listed on the American Express website, which gave them more exposure, Jesse Boling said. John and Sylvia Elliott of Tellico Village were among their customers. “I came to support local business,” Sylvia Elliott said. “We support them all the time, but you definitely have to support Small Business Saturday.” As part of Small Business Saturday, Jesse Boling said the store offered a 20 percent discount to its patrons. Another Farragut business,
The Shrimp Dock, also participated in Small Business Saturday. “Our sales were up from last year,” owner Phil Dangel said. “[Business] has been good for us,” Allen Shields, The Shrimp Dock manager, said. “[Small Business Saturday] brings in a lot of local customers who really appreciate good fish and seafood.” However, some other businesses found business slower than that of Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Fares Schlank, owner of West Bicycles in the Village Green shopping center, said business on Small Business Saturday met his expectations, which was low. “It’s a tough retail environment,” he added. However, Schlank said he supports promotions like Shop Farragut and Small Business Saturday. “When I see a promotion like Small Business Saturday and Shop Farragut, I’m on board with it because it helps promote my personal vision to serve the community I love,” he said. “It’s pretty slow,” Tanya Hamm, co-owner of Echelon Bikes, said. “We were much busier yesterday.” See SMALL on Page 2A

While traffic moves along in the relatively new roundabout at the intersection of Northshore Drive and Choto Road, The Markets of Choto is looking to include retail business and office space on the property south and east of the intersection (background). That also includes a Rural/Metro fire station to be located behind Weigel’s (background left), with groundbreaking scheduled sometime this month.

One anticipated success story from The Markets at Choto isn’t a market or office at all — yet it’s scheduled opening sometime in late spring of 2015 stands to save residents within a threemile radius of Northshore Drive/Choto Road intersection almost $3 million per year. Groundbreaking for a Rural/ Metro Fire Department station, 5,000 square feet, on Markets at Choto grounds behind Weigel’s is expected sometime this month, John Huber, Markets at Choto owner/developer, said. It will sit on roughly 14 acres south and east of the intersection where Markets at Choto is planning 75,000 square feet of retail and office space to eventu-
KCSO offers holiday, everyday safety suggestions ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
While Farragut residents are scurrying about this holiday season, shopping for friends and family or traveling, people are warned they should be aware of potential holiday crime. Knox County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Brad Hall, KCSO liaison with town of Farragut, said this time last year there were four residential forced burglaries, two business forced burglaries, seven vehicle burglaries, 19 thefts and seven cases of shoplifting. So far this year, he said there has been one residential forced burglary. There have been two business forced burglaries, five vehicle burglaries, 21 thefts and one case of shoplifting. The Farragut community usually sees burglaries in homes and vehicles, as well as shoplifting and stolen vehicles during the holidays, Hall said. Hall advises people to make sure houses and cars are locked.
“Don’t leave valuables out in the open, park in a well-lighted area, don’t let mail pile up if out of town and don’t post your plans on social media,” he said. To stay safe, he said people should walk and park in welllighted areas and try to be with people and pay attention to one’s surroundings. “Keep purses and packages as close to you as possible, park close to the business you are going to,” Hall said. If someone is carrying a weapon, he advised that person should carry the weapon as securely as possible, adding, “You always want the element of surprise when possible.” Concerning carrying of weapons Hall said, “As of July 1, people who are legally able to possess a gun under state and federal law, you can keep a loaded handgun, shotgun or rifle in a car or truck you legally possess. “Previously, only those with state-issued handgun carry permits could legally keep loaded
firearms in their vehicles. Those without carry permits could keep unloaded firearms in the vehicle if the ammunition was stored separately.” Panhandling in parking lots and on street corners also is more prevalent during the holidays. According to Tennessee Code Annotated 39-17-307, a person commits an offense if he knowingly or recklessly “obstructs a highway, street, sidewalk, railway, waterway, elevator aisle or hallway to which the public, or a substantial portion of the public, has access.” The person will be in violation if he “disobeys a reasonable request or order to move” by a person in authority, state law states. Hall advised people should not partake in panhandling. “Give to legitimate charities,” he said. “Call police if someone is causing a problem,” he added. “A property owner can give a trespass warning if necessary.”
ally be leased, Huber added. As for the estimated “$2,944,000 million” in savings to 5,432 homeowners’ insurance premiums because they would have a fire station much closer than before according to Huber, “It’s really amazing how inflated the insurance rates are out there right now,” he added. “That area’s considered Class 10, which effectively means there’s no fire protection out there right now as far as the insurance companies are concerned.” Total additional premium payments yearly by those 5,432 residents, because they are Class 10, average $542, Huber said. “That’s why everybody’s pushing so hard to have it out there,” he added. “We worked out a deal that’s a very thin deal at best from a real estate [profit] stand-
point, a landlord standpoint for me. … I felt like it would be worth it to lease it under market [value] to Rural/Metro just to get them out there. “I do recognize that it would be a huge benefit for the Choto area,” Huber said. The closest Rural/Metro fire station to the area currently is off Watt Road, Huber said, which is about one mile north of Watt Road intersection with Kingston Pike. However, “When they come down McFee Road they can’t get underneath the railroad [overpass at Boyd Station RoadHarvey Road intersection leading to Choto] with the fire trucks, Huber added. Although the R/M fire station along See CHOTO on Page 2A

Madrigal Singers, a photo booth, puppeteers, children’s crafts, other activities and holiday lights and entertainment. “Farragut High School Madrigals will fill the area with energetic voices,” Kennedy said. Along with the Madrigals, Brandywine Band will entertain visitors with its mix of holiday, bluegrass and gospel music, and a variety of other musical groups will perform at Lane Music, she added. Winners of the $1,000 shopping spree drawing will be announced at 2:30 p.m., Saturday. People can enter in person the day of the event. However, they must be present to win, Kennedy said. While parents enjoy entertainment and shopping opportunities, children can watch Son Light Puppeteers present songs and stories or participate in a number of activities, such as LEGO playtime at Bricks4Kidz; holiday crafts with UT Federal Credit Union, TutTu’s Dancers

Farragut residents can enjoy an old-fashioned holiday celebration when The Shops at Franklin Square present Holiday on the Square. The event is slated from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 6, at Franklin Square, 9700 Kingston Pike, Knoxville. “It’s actually a fun family event that has a lot of activities, such as a horse-drawn carriage rides with Percheron draft horses,” Kelley Kennedy, marketing representative for the development, said. “It’s a very festive atmosphere, all at no charge,” Kennedy added. “Attendees will enjoy wonderful sights, sounds, decorations, special holiday activities and refreshments.” Holiday on the Square offers photos with Santa and his elves, a $1,000 shopping spree drawing, a door prize drawing, caroling by Farragut High School
Boutique and Smart Toys and Books and a bounce house. Franklin Square has been hosting Holiday on the Square for more than 20 years, Kennedy said. She added donations from the carriage rides and activities benefit Cathy L. Hodges Memorial Cancer Foundation. The foundation was formed in 1995
with donations received from friends, relatives and acquaintances in memory of Hodges, whose battle with breast cancer lasted more than eight years. It assists breast cancer patients with food, clothing, housing, transportation, utilities and more, according to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which pro-
vided a grant for the Cathy L. Hodges Memorial Cancer Foundation. Kennedy said the late Cathy L. Hodges was wife of the shopping center’s founder. For more about the event, visit The Shops at Franklin Square website at www.franklinsq.com.

Northshore-Choto intersection. “It’s one of the reasons Rural/Metro wanted to locate out there,” Huber said about the roundabout. With one 5,000 square foot retail “spec” building to also break ground in December and be built by spring along Choto as part of a “7-acre phase one” building plan, Huber said the retail outlook for Markets at
Choto “is looking very good, actually. … We think the market is slowly recovering, and it’s recovered enough to where we feel like it’s a good time to go ahead and build.” By the end of 2015, “I’d like to have three or four buildings up,” Huber said about filling “spec” buildings that would necessitate further construction.
“We are planning an open house this holiday season,” he said, adding, “We hope we are going to be busy today (Saturday).” Ashley Flores, general man-
ager of Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop, said business was typical for a Saturday and added she did not know if Small Business Saturday generated more business for the shop.

townview: 2014 marks the eighth year for the Shop Farragut – once known as the Buy in Farragut – holiday campaign. Originally spearheaded by the town of Farragut, this six-week program is now administered by the Farragut Business Alliance (farragutbusiness.com) with funding provided by the T o w n . Although a special emphasis is placed on the holiday season, the campaign now runs throughout Ralph the year as McGill we encourFarragut age Farragut resiMayor dents to keep their Sales Tax dollars at work for the Town all the time. The Shop Farragut holiday campaign is beneficial for both citizens and businesses. Citizens save time, money and gas as they support our local economy. Then, Farragut businesses invest their earnings into supporting our schools and local non-profit organizations. Ultimately, the single most important outcome
of this effort is the local Sales Tax dollars that are generated to support the Town’s annual budget. In Fiscal Year 2014, local Sales Tax accounted for $5,579,605 in revenue, or 56 percent of our budget. Since Farragut does not collect a separate municipal property tax — nor do we receive any portion of the Knox County Property Tax — these Sales Tax dollars are imperative to the existence of the Town. The town of Farragut is able to provide exceptional services in large part due to the commitment of our businesses to participate in Shop Farragut and our citizens to shop and dine here. We take pride in these services such as road improvements; improvements and additions to our parks, greenways and sidewalks; community events and programs; snow removal; capital projects and much more. My hope is that we can keep this momentum going this year as well as for many years to come. The Advocates of Independent Business (indiebizadvocates. org) — a coalition of 14 groups coordinated by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ilsr.org) — has put together some interesting facts about shopping local for the holidays that confirm the
presstalk • There is a gas station in the [Farragut area] that I feel should be avoided until they spend some money to clean it up. Half of the lights are burnt out, pot holes all in the parking lot. This gas station is truly an eye sore, possibly if us locals stopped shopping there for fuel and store sales, they would have no other choice than to spend the money cleaning up this location. • To the caller who complained about the Farragut Food Festival they obviously did not attend the event. It was spectacular. I heard nothing but rave reviews and that everyone there had a fantastic time. Also, with my experience with other events it costs them thousands and thousands of dollars to pull that off. Have you ever rented large tents, lights, stages, tables, chairs, linens and other event supplies? They are not inexpen-
positive impact on local economies. • Six in 10 consumers intend to shop locally this year. • In 2013, shoppers spent $5.7 billion on Small Business Saturday. • Independent businesses reported an average increase in sales of 5.3 percent in 2013.
• Ninety-two percent of retail spending is expected to go to brick-and-mortar stores in October through December as opposed to online spending. • On average, $48 of every $100 spent at independent retailers stays in the local economy as opposed to $14 of every $100 spent at a national chain

Also, it doesn’t take a whole lot of effort, really, going to the event website, as a matter of fact to learn that advance tickets were $25 and tickets at the gate were $30. Nowhere did they advertise that all of the proceeds benefited Second Harvest. It’s my understanding that this event was a fundraiser for the Farragut Business Alliance, which is a non-profit organization located right here in Farragut. I am glad we have the Alliance to help increase the Sales Tax dollars collected by the Town. I would much rather have our community’s amenities and services supported by Sales Tax dollars than have to pay a property tax. Lastly, all of the advertising I saw specifically stated that 20 percent of the VIB ticket sales would benefit Second Harvest
Food Bank of East Tennessee. VIB tickets were $100 each and I understand that they did not sell out. I also understand that Second Harvest was thrilled with the partnership. So, in the future, if you are going to tear down an organization and an event that does so much for this community, I highly recommend at least getting your information correct. To the Farragut Business Alliance, those of us who “get it,” and know the amount of work you put into the events for Farragut businesses and residents, you and your volunteers are greatly appreciated. • I live in Belleaire subdivision and I just want to take this opportunity to publicly thank the sixth-grade students of the Concord Christian School for their day of service to our neighborhood. The hard and meticulous work they did in my yard has
raised my spirits and has given me another thing to be thankful for at this Thanksgiving time. Bless you all. • There needs to be something done about people who try to turn left out of the Cracker Barrel onto Campbell Station. I see too many near wrecks. They can exit by turning left onto Turkey Creek Road [Parkside Drive]. They need to do away the left-hand turn before somebody gets hurt. • My husband and I attended the first Farragut Food Festival. And the question was asked then, where does the money go? We never got an answer. That was the last time we attended.

New ‘Battlefield Farragut’ location?
business briefs
Speculation that the old Kroger building, 11240 Kingston Pike, Farragut, would be converted into a Town community center seem all but dashed. The building is expected to come alive soon, with plans in the works for an indoor laser tag amusement venue to resemble the former Battlefield Knoxville according to sources. However, the future owner has yet to apply for a business permit or put a name to the business. Construction plans still are in review from town of Farragut, Sue Stuhl, Parks and Leisure Services director, said.

‘Medical, retail’ plans in the works to develop ex-Phillips 66 site
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Plans are in the works to develop the former Phillips 66 convenience store, located at the corner of Kingston Pike and N o r t h Campbell Station Road. Currently, those plans would call for 75 percent of the 1.2 acres of Bartholomew space to become medical and the rest would be retail, Parker Bartholomew, manager of Hatcher Hill, LLC, said. “That could be a retail store or a restaurant,” Bartholomew added about 25 percent of the space. “We are not exactly sure yet.” However, Bartholomew said he does have a couple of potential buyers for the property. “We’re trying to see if we can
get something submitted [to Farragut Municipal Planning Commission] this month, but it will likely be January before we are close to a final version,” he said, adding construction would not begin until sometime in 2015. “A lot of the timing will be determined by the regulations,” he added. “Right now, we don’t know the architectural guidelines that we are going to have to build to, so we hope the first quarter of 2015 we will be able to close on the property and start construction immediately thereafter.” Bartholomew is trying to sell the space for property owner Mr. Zips of Texas. “They just want to sell the property,” he said. “Anything that can sell the property, they are for.” Bartholomew said he is proposing a medical building and retail space because those types of businesses would be able to pay the high amount of rent that would be required and those uses would go well at that location.

A much more confident Farragut Lady Admirals varsity basketball team, especially offensively, won twice during inaugural Farragut Thanksgiving Classic to Lady Admirals 58 end a threeLady Cocks 37 game skid to start the season. Behind a game-high 23 points from 6-foot-2 junior post Jaiden McCoy, the FHS girls rolled to a 58-37 home victory against Cocke County Saturday evening, Nov. 29. “It was pretty rough inside. They Lady Admirals 68 were Lady Cherokees 56 attacking me from all angles I guess you could say,” McCoy said. “And they were hacking pretty hard. But I finished through it.” As a team, “We’re improving, we’re a lot better,” McCoy added. “We’re playing together, and we’re actually, like, realizing our strengths and who can shoot it and who’s better at, like, driving it. We’re adapting well.”
Jason Mayfield, Lady Admirals head coach, said about McCoy, “We haven’t had a post player quite like that” in terms of “size and physicality.” “So we’re finding ways to get her the ball more and get her more involved. And she’s learning, too. … When to post and when to get into the flow of our offense.” Overall, “It goes back to just confidence,” Mayfield said about his team’s two-game winning streak. “You come home and it helps. You make a couple of shots and it helps.” Coming off a 21-point performance in a 68-56 opening round Classic victory against South-Doyle one day before, Farragut senior wing/post Anna Woodford scored 10 against Cocke County. Other Lady Admirals scorers Saturday were Annie McMurry with nine (three 3-point field goals), Maegan Hudson seven, Kristen Freeman four, Sue KimYun three and Mackenzie Gignac two. “We’ve got a lot of contributors on this team this year, and we’re

CLINTON — Harriman was so physical against Hardin Valley Academy that at least one Hawks player thought the officials were, as the saying goes, “letting them play” without calling enough contact fouls. Yet 64 Hawks 86 fouls were Blue Devils 79 whistled by game’s end, 35 against HVA, as Hardin Valley saw the Class A Blue Devils from Roane County storm back from a nine-point fourth quarter deficit to take a 79-78 lead after a steal and lay-up with 55 seconds to play. Then came HVA’s guards to restore order just in time during opening round play in Anderson
County Thanksgiving Tournament at ACHS Friday, Nov. 28, as the Hawks ended with an 8-0 run to win 86-79. “They actually let it get too rough,” said Blaine Shockley, HVA senior guard who scored a team-high 20 points — including the team’s last six also featuring a key steal and rebound in the closing seconds — about the officials. “Everybody was getting chippy. But we came out and played a little bit stronger in the second half.” Meanwhile, the Lady Hawks took control early against the homestanding Lady Mavericks and, in a much less physical contest, won convincingly 55-41 behind 18 points from senior wing Brooklyn Battle and 13 from freshman post Abbey Cornelius.

reserve post, scored nine. The HVA girls then defeated Greenback 48-35 Saturday to improve their record to 6-1. “I thought for the most part we played well,” Lady Hawks head coach Jennifer Galloway said about the win against Anderson County (More on the HVA girls later in this story). Two Lady Hawks 55 Caleb Lady Mavericks 41 Clevenger free throws with 46 seconds remaining gave Hardin Valley an 80-79 lead. A steal and lay-up from Shockley made it 82-79 at the 33second mark.

For one half, a Scott County guard shredded Bearden’s defense like no opposing player in Mark Blevins’ 40-plus years as a college and high school Bulldogs 78 head Highlanders 59 coach. “Stephen Butts, he had 33 at halftime against us. … Nobody has ever had a half against me like that,” said Blevins, whose Bulldogs still won 7859 during Gray Insurance Thanksgiving Classic at Campbell County High School Friday, Nov. 28. “We were playing Bulldogs 63 manto-man Blue Devils 49 and we were on him, but he’s shooting fade-away 21- to 25-foot threes.” Bearden would follow up with victories against Jellico

just excited to see ourselves jell and get back to what we can do,” Woodford said. “We’re definitely looking more into Jaiden because she’s a huge power source for us. And we’re just moving the ball more and relying more on our teammates.” With Woodford guarding Cocke County sharpshooter Makayla Valentine in Farragut’s box-and-one defense, “She can really, really play, and Anna did a great job on her,” Mayfield said. “And then Kate McMurry came in there off the bench and guarded her, too.” Cocke County fell to 3-4 despite four 3-point field goals from Valentine, who scored a team high 14. “Farragut always impresses me with their continuity and their organization,” Fighting Lady Cocks head coach Jeremy Byrd said. “They seem to be well disciplined.” Against South-Doyle, McCoy scored 18 and senior post Kristen Freeman added 14. Defensively against SouthDoyle, “We were decent, we were average,” Mayfield said. “Today we were much better defensively.” Christian Academy of Knoxville also participated (two games) in the Classic. Both Farragut teams open District 4-AAA action this week, visiting Heritage Tuesday, Dec. 2
(63-49) and host Campbell County (78-48) Saturday, Nov. 29 for a perfect 3-0 Classic record and perfect 8-0 overall mark entering the week. Despite Butts nailing seven of 11 three-point field goals in the first 16 minutes — BHS still led 46-43 at the break — Bulldog Dakota McGowan limited Butts to just eight second half points (41 total). “He’s the guy that held him down in the second half. A very good job,” Blevins said about McGowan, a freshman point guard. Junior post Jason Smith also had a big evening of scoring, leading BHS with 31 points. Junior point guard Quez Fair followed with 17. Sam Phillips added eight, McGowan and Austin Duncan six apiece, Jake Elkins and Will Snyder four each
and David Lafreniere two. Against Jellico, Smith again led Bearden in scoring, this time with 19 followed by Fair with 15. Snyder added 10, Phillips eight, Adam Fulcher six, Elkins four and Ty Chandler one point. Versus Campbell County, Duncan, senior guard/forward, was top Dawg in scoring with 18, followed by Smith with 14. Chandler and Phillip each scored eight, McGowan and Snyder six apiece, Fair, Lafreniere, Elkins and Fulcher four each and Jon Daniels two. Among individual contests held between the Saturday morning games and those played Saturday evening, Phillips won the three-point shooting contest. Both Bearden varsity teams began District 4-AAA action at home versus Lenoir City Tuesday, Dec. 2 (after deadline). West visits BHS Friday, Dec. 5, with girls’ opening tip around 6 p.m.

with just 15 seconds left. He added a lay-up just before the buzzer. Clevenger scored 13, while Tyler Durden and Tyler Thompson each had nine. Caleb Davis added eight, Seth Long and Hunter Canon seven each and Tristan Neilson six. HVA head coach Keith Galloway praised Neilson, Shockley and Clevenger. “He played great, came off the bench,” Galloway said about Neilson. “Had a couple of big rebounds for us, couple of big buckets. Had a couple of blocks. “Blaine obviously did well getting to the rim,” Galloway added. “Clevenger did good, too.”
Harriman dropped to 5-2. A 95-53 win Saturday against Sweetwater improved the Hawks record to 5-2. Durden scored 15 to lead HVA. Thompson added 14 while Jordan McCroskey and Jacob Schopmann each had 10. With the Lady Hawks alternating between a zone and man-toman defenses, “I thought that we were able to make some in-game adjustments based on their offense,” Jennifer Galloway said. “They’re a very disciplined team. … In turn, we had to be very disciplined on defense as well. ... In the second half we stuck with man[-to-man] and a zone press.” “They play a really good zone, and so we knew we’d just have to work the ball around and get, like, really good open shots,”
Brooklyn Battle, HVA Lady Hawks senior wing, pulls up and looks for a shot against Anderson County’s defense. Hardin Valley won this ACHS Thanksgiving Tournament game 55-41 Friday, Nov. 28.
Taylor Bishop, senior point guard who scored five points, said. “I thought we were really disciplined on that.” “I thought Taylor did a good job managing our offense and getting us in the correct defense,” Jennifer Galloway said. “She’s a little general on the floor and everybody is looking to her for leadership.” “I think we were successful because we stuck to our gameplan and we knew we had to adjust to a 2-3 defense. We’re used to playing against man[toman],” Battle said. Mike Ellis, ACHS head coach, said Battle “shot the ball well.” The Lady Mavericks fell to 4-5. Against Greenback, Battle led with 16 points. Cornelius had 11.

Fletcher sisters college rodeo stars ■
Submitted
Natalie Fletcher calf-roping during a recent Rodeo.
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
With a built-in rodeo on their family farm in Concord, the Fletcher sisters from Prater Farm have been winning awards as lifelong rodeo competitors from childhood into their early 20s. Already extremely close-knit through two years together at Farragut High School, Lucinda Fletcher (FHS Class of 2010) and Natalie Fletcher (Class of 2012) ended up as collegiate rodeo teammates for two years at The University of Tennessee, Martin, in Pulaski. Though saying Lucinda turned down UTM Rodeo head coach John Luthi’s scholarship offer, enrolling at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville in part to stay near Natalie and her family, the younger Fletcher sister got the same offer two years later from Luthi. “I decided it was an opportunity I needed to take,” said Natalie, now a junior at UTM who in addition to earning Academic All-American honors as a freshman and sophomore earned a
spot in National College Finals in breakaway roping her freshman season. “And [Lucinda] went with me, a last-minute decision. “We loved it; we lived together, we did everything together,” Natalie a d d e d . “We’re like best, best of friends. We encourage each other in and out of the arena. She’s helped Fletcher me so much in both ways. … She would push me and I would push her back, and it’s help us both to get to where we are today.” Lucinda, also strongest in breakaway roping, graduated UTM last spring with a degree in animal science. About missing Lucinda, “I can’t describe it; I went from living across the hallway from her to living six hours from me,” Natalie said. “We talk non-stop.” “They’re a close-knit group, those two are,” Luthi said. “I
know it’s been an adjustment for them to be apart. … I image it’s been pretty stressful for her and Lucinda both.” Lucinda is back at “running the family farm” having applied to “physician’s assistant” school at UTK, Natalie said. Outside of UTM, both Lucinda and Natalie “compete in rodeos across the southeast every other weekend,” Natalie, also seeking a degree in animal science from UTM in hopes of becoming a veterinarian, said. About Natalie earning National College Finals, “You’ve got to end up top three in the region to get that accomplished,” Luthi said. “There’s some 60 breakaway ropers in the region.” “It was huge … it was wonderful,” Natalie said, adding that soon after arriving at UTM, Luthi “sat met down and told me, ‘you need to make goals.’” “She’s what we call an allaround competitor … definitely in an above average way,” Luthi said. “She’s a great competitor and very determined, works very See FLETCHER on Page 3B
Town cracks down; substance abuse still rising
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
While the town of Farragut began cracking down on illegal sales of alcohol a couple of years ago — creating an ordinance to add citations on businesses already violating state and federal law — prescription medication and alcohol abuses remain on the rise. “David [Smoak] kind of re-wrote Farragut’s regulations, which had been in place for a long time,” Karen Pershing, with Knox County Metropolitan Drug Commission, said about the Town administrator. “That was probably the biggest success of the whole [Underage Drinking] policy panel meeting [in 2012], was the fact that Farragut’s were really strengthened and the relationship between the Sheriff’s [Office], who actually does enforcement for Farragut, and the Beer Board in Farragut.”
Pershing was keynote speaker during The Rotary Club of Farragut’s Wednesday, Oct. 23, meeting at Fox Den County Club. Roughly one-third of Knox County high school students “are reporting in the last 30 days they’ve used alcohol,” Pershing said. “… When I was younger it seemed like teenagers drank just to get a buzz so they feel a little more comfortable socially. Now kids drink to black-out. It’s just really scary.” However, “Prescription drugs is probably the most challenging substance abuse issue we’ve ever faced. … Now in this country we have more drug overdose deaths due to prescription drug abuse than we have for automobile accidents,” Pershing said. “… Now we’re seeing the 18 to 24-year-old age category have the largest increase in overdose deaths. … This particular epidemic knows no economic, social or racial bound-

aries. All age groups. That’s what makes it a little more challenging.” In 2013 the state’s drug problem spilled over to affect newborn babies, with 921 born with neonatal abstinence according to Pershing. “… The thing we’re most concerned about with babies is the long-term implications. … They have a greater propensity of becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol.” Moreover, “You’d be surprised right now of how many women we talk to whose doctors actually prescribe them these medications when they are pregnant,” Pershing added. “We’ve got some education to do in the medical community, too.” Knox County should brace for the long-range effects of neonatal abstinence. “I keep telling Dr. [Jim] McIntyre [Jr.], ‘These See TOWN on Page 7B

White returns as an Admirals Cup Champ
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
On the field where he played trumpet at least twice as the “enemy” with Bearden High School Marching Band in 2004 and 2006, Alex White came back to Farragut High School’s Bill Clabo Field in October and saw his band steal the show. White, a 2007 BHS graduate who was drum major for The University of Tennessee Pride of the Southland Band his senior year, brought his Siegel High School Marching Band to annual Admiral’s Cup Invitational to compete among 15 bands Saturday,
Oct. 18. Not only was White’s band named Grand Champion, but it also earned seven out of a possible nine first-place awards in this fundraiser event courtesy of Farragut High School Marching Admirals Band, 135 members, which played its “The Road Not Taken” program in exhibition to close the performances. “This was homecoming for me,” White, in his second year at Siegel and first as band director, said. About his 163-member band, White said, “These kids work extremely hard all the time and in every rehearsal, that’s the reason we’re successful.
“A kind of funny story, my first time seeing the Siegel band was in 2004 at Bearden, we lost to this band,” White added. “It’s kind of ironic I’m leading this group now. They’re a great group of kids.” The schools were broken into six main categories according to size (Classes 1A through 6A), which in another round of judging became two main groups, Small Division (1A 2A and 3A) and Large Division (Classes 4A, 5A and 6A). Siegel joined Elizabethton as the 6A schools competing. In addition to its Grand Champion award, Siegel also took See CUP on Page 5B

hard. “Probably her main event is the breakaway roping, but she’s pretty talented and does other events, too,” Luthi added. “Probably goat-tying. She also team ropes and she runs barrels.” Beyond her talent, “She’s been a very strong leader on the team and still is,” Luthi said. “Last year she got elected from the region … as Ozark Region Student director. … a student representative type thing. … That gives her an opportunity to go to the national board meetings in the winter and the national board meetings in the
summer.” Despite not having “much luck yet” in her first two UTM rodeos of the 2014 fall season, Luthi added, “That’s not unusual,” even for a top performer. “I got hurt at one of our college rodeos in last spring, so I had knee surgery over the summer,” Natalie said about an injury while goal tying as she works to make a 100 percent recovery. Looking ahead, “She’d be capable of making it a career if she wanted to,” Luthi said. “The sky’s the limit for Natalie; very smart girl, great personality. … Comes from a very quality family.”

’Twas the aftermath of Christmas ’Twas post Christmas morning when all through the place The family was reeling from the Christmas rat race The stockings were gutted, the gifts all unwrapped There was chaos, confusion and energy sapped Mom was in her jammies with unruly hair The kids full of ca-ndy, there was smoke in the air From the thunderous fire, Dad’s cramming, The Pam Cause Of paper Young and boxes Make it from his arsonist claws Fun! And out of the chimney and up on the roof Hot chunks of packaging fiery proof That Christmas was over and so was the fun The only thing left was to dial 911 Outside were the sirens the fire truck arrived They hosed off the roof and the house did survive But inside the home as dry as a thistle The Christmas tree threatened to launch like a missile While mom made a pile of stuff to return Dad kept on adding to the fire-
place burn The kids with their soon-to-be discarded stuff Hadn’t a clue when enough was enough “Get’em to want it so much that they buy Stuff they don’t need and never ask why,” The result of this brainwashing marketing trap? Shelf-sagging, drawer-bulging, closet-jamming crap Toys in containers no one can get into Not with scissors, a crowbar, a blow torch or Ginsu So how in the world can this chaos be nipped? No one wants his Christmas wings clipped. Here’s the solution all tied up in a bow The secret of Christmas in a song you may know I chose Julie Andrews rendition so fair Three minutes, twenty-five seconds she’ll share And when you get stuck in the world of stuff This song will remind you, enough IS enough http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=cjXXNuXVJwQ For more from Pam Young go to www.cluborganized.com.

nessee School Board Association’s Statewide Student Recognition Award. The award “recognizes students who have distinguished themselves in academics, community service and leadership,” a Knox County Schools press release stated. “I’m just trying to get more students involved in their local education politics,” Hasan said. “I think these issues are things they think about but oftentimes they don’t necessarily know how to go about voicing their opinions or changing policies they don’t like.” As a result, “I’m really trying to visit as many schools in the county as I can — definitely every [public] high school — by the end of the year,” Hasan, BHS Class of 2015 president “all four years,” said. “Just so I can meet with student groups and get more direct

was a student position on the Board of Education. And so I applied … and I got that back in May.” Hasam said his “term” started in July. “Since then I’ve represented the interests of students in Knox County Schools,” he added. “… I’m really just trying to relay opinions of students that I’ve talked to not only at Bearden, but I have friends at other schools in the county that I often talk to about youth things. I’ve often used direct quotes from them in Board discussions.” For example, “One of the things I’m working on to try and get student feedback is the potential switch to a balance calendar next [school] year, which is also known as year-round school,” Hasan, 17, said. “… Students have e-mailed me about issues like dress code and, maybe, ways we could more equitably enforce and implement that. … Most of the people who have e-mailed me, I don’t know.”

feedback from them. … I really only have the perspective of Bearden. I’m trying to get a broader perspective.” With his Bearden YGCC club, “We meet once a week and we discuss current political issues,” Hasan said, adding a statewide YGCC gathering is held every “March or April at the state Capital in Nashville. You go there and you serve as a delegate, it’s like you presume to be a state Senator or a state legislator. And you write ‘bills’ and debate politics.” About a year ago “I decided to speak out about issues like Common Core and teacher evaluation,” Hasan, 18, said. “I stayed involved. I spoke out a second time and I regularly started attending [Board] meetings and reading more about education policy. It turned into me wanting to be more active in local politics, particularly on the Board, and I read that there

same: To thank all of the family for their love and support during the traumatic times before, during and after the transplant. “I look forward to the annual celebration more than I look forward to my birthday,” he added. “I was never afraid of dying,” Beard said. “I found out no matter how you feel about dying, when you get close to death, God gets close to you. “God will be there,” he added. Beard is the father of the late Lisa Beard, Missy Fierley, Paige DeFreece and Dustye McCarty. He is the grandfather of 12 and great-grandfather of three. In 1994, Beard had a heart transplant. Since then, his family members said that transplant gave them more years to enjoy activities with one another. “I am very thankful,” McCarty, said. “We’ve been able to go to movies and to the Splash Country together and white water rafting with dad and the kids.” “We’re blessed every day we have him,” Fierley said. “None of us could imagine life without him.” Twenty years ago Beard had six grandchildren, Fierley added. Now, he has 12 grandchildren and three gre-at-grandchildren. “One thing I remember is he asked, from his hospital bed, if we agreed with his having the transplant,” wife, Prissy Beard said. “He wanted to know what we thought of it.” “My wife had been beside me through the entire journey,” he said. “She had fixed me a bedside pantry with all my favorite drinks and had endured some scary moments as well. She was again by my side as we accepted the heart.
“My whole family had time to make it to the hospital by the time I began to roll down the hall to surgery,” he said, adding his most vivid memory was seeing his family members lining both sides of the hallway while he was rolled down to surgery. DeFreece said she remembered visiting Beard in the hospital. “He looked 30 years older than when I last saw him,” DeFreece said. “He told me what a wonderful daughter I was. He was saying goodbye. “Then, he started improving,” she added. “That impacted me. I realized how much of a blessing it was to be able to have all these memories from the past 20 years.”
At the time of Beard’s transplant, he was 52. In April 1994, he said he felt ill so he was examined by a doctor. “He examined me and, rather ashen-faced, said my heart was severely enlarged, ordered me to the hospital and, prophetically, said I had some major medical procedures in the future,” Beard said. “For the next four months, I had several medical tests and began taking some powerful prescription drugs. In August, with complications developing, I was sent to Atlanta by ambulance for evaluation as a heart transplant recipient. I would pass away within a year without one.”

deathnotices • BEATY, Edsel R., age 88 of Knoxville, TN, passed away peacefully early Thursday morning, November 27, 2014. Edsel was born and reared in Clinton County, in the city of Albany, Kentucky. He was the eldest of nine children of Oswald Denton Beaty and Lottie Sue Taylor Beaty. In 1944, at the age of 18, he began his service in the U.S. Army, where he served in General George S. Patton’s 51st Armored Infantry Battalion Division “C”, Fourth Armored DiBeaty vision. Following basic training Edsel was deployed on the Queen Elizabeth, eventually landing on Normany Beach. In January 1945, he fought in the “Battle of the Bulge,” and in April 1945, his 4th Armored Division discovered and liberated Buchenwald, one of the largest concentration camps near Weirmar, Germany. Edsel was discharged in 1946 and awarded a Bronze Star for his combat service with General Patton’s 4th Armored Division during World War II. After completing Barber School, Edsel worked in Albany, and eventually relocated to Detroit, Michigan where he became the Executive Barber for Ford Motor Company. During his career of 33 years, Edsel cut the hair of many famous people such as Ed Sullivan, Walt Disney and Texas Governor John Connelly. He was also the barber of all Ford executives including Henry Ford II, William Clay Ford, Benson Ford, Lee Iacoca and Robert McNamara, who became Secretary of Defense under President Kennedy. Married in 1947, Edsel and Sarah reared three children in the farm community on the outskirts of Detroit. There his children were afforded the opportunities to participate in 4-H by raising horses and showing horses around the country. After retirement from Ford Motor Company, Edsel and Sarah moved to Knoxville, Tennessee in 1987. In addition to his parents, Edsel was preceded in death by his son, Robert Edsel Beaty; sister, June Conlogue Watson and brother, Bennis Beaty.

babies are going to be hitting your school system and they’re going to have some learning challenges,’” Pershing said she told the superintendent of Knox County Schools. Pershing said any attempt to legalize medicinal marijuana use in Tennessee is an issue “we’re very concerned about because medical marijuana is a slippery slope to recreational use.” Moreover, “There is no medical use for marijuana,” she added. “There have been no FDA clinical studies out there.” The effects are more harmful when youth use marijuana. “When you introduce marijuana to a not yet fully mature brain it responds very differently than it does in a mature adult brain. In many cases it leads them to use other more powerful drugs later on,” Pershing said.
