Hundreds of children, with parents and grandparents in tow, lined up to visit Santa during the 21st Annual Celebrate the Season, hosted by Farragut Beautification Committee. The event, which took place Thursday, Dec. 4, in Farragut Town Hall, offered cider and punch, cookies, crafts, music, a tour through Farragut Folklife Museum and, of course, a visit and photos with Santa Claus. “They want to see Santa,” Shelley Przewrocki said about her children, Zella, 4, and Agen, 6. “They had a lot of explaining to do to Santa.” The crowd was entertained by TNT Dulcimer Group, Bearden United Methodist Children’s Hand Bell Choir and Farragut High School Madrigal Singers, which are part of the school’s choral ensemble. While some waited for Santa,
they decorated and ate holiday cookies with assistance from Town volunteers. A craft area was set up where children could draw a holiday ornament. “We love that the children have stuff to do while they wait,” Kellie Smith of Farragut said. This was her first time attending Celebrate the Season, she added. “This is a real popular event,” Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill said. “It’s the kind of thing where there’s a big rush and then everyone leaves at the same time.” “Oh, it’s awesome,” Jessica Taylor said about the event. She said her twin daughters, Anne Charlotte and Rea Dorothy, are 2 years old, and they are just starting to understand the holiday. The Taylors went to Light the Park also, she said, adding, “I love this community. There is lots of fun stuff going on in Farragut.” “I love [Celebrate the See CELEBRATE on Page 4A
‘The Cove’ set to be aglow with lights ■

Despite a late start getting things kicked off, The Cove at Concord Park once again will have its three-quarter-mile greenway trail lit up with brilliant colors of the Christmas season. The 16th Annual Holiday Festival of Lights at The Cove, with roughly 50 displays along the greenway, will begin with a special ceremony at 5:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 19, with lights displayed until 9 p.m. Hours from Dec. 20 through Dec. 30, excluding Christmas Day, are 6 to 9 p.m. There is no charge to enjoy the display. “We estimate, depending on weather, around 5,000 visitors will come out to walk the trail
and view the lights,” Jennifer Linginfelter, communications specialist for the Office of Knox County Mayor, said. “We’re going to have a special kick-off event … we’ll have [Knox County] Mayor [Tim] Burchett out there to flip the switch and kind of get it going. “We will have food vendor Hawg Dawg’s in the park on Friday, Dec. 19, and Saturday, Dec. 20, from 6 to 9 p.m. with refreshments for sale,” Linginfelter added. “They’ll be hot chocolate and cider and different types of refreshments.” Through free of charge, “We do accept canned food donations for the Love Kitchen,” Linginfelter said. For visitors to keep warm, “We will have nightly bonfires. Our parks staff will have bonfires for
people to stay warm by, so it’s kind of a neat thing,” Linginfelter said. “There’s like a couple of little bonfires that they’ll set up throughout the park so when people get cold they can go stand by the fire for a little bit then keep walking the trail.” Doug Bataille, Knox County senior director of Parks and Recreation, said Holiday Festival of Lights “is a great annual tradition that gets friends and families out for a wonderful walk in the park. Dogs on leashes are welcome, too.” Explaining why its so popular, Linginfelter said, “I think a lot of people enjoy getting out and doing something that is family friendly, and walking on the trail you can also get some exercise by walking around and enjoying the lights with your family.”

With some help from one little boy and Santa Claus, Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill throws the switch to illuminate Founders Park at Campbell Station trees, gazebo and various fixtures with Christmas color Monday evening, Dec. 1.
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Light the Park annually begins a few weeks of daily Christmas lighting joy for Andrea Hagood of Farragut and her three children: Natalie, 12, Ben, 9, and Hallie, 4. “We live just across the street, and driving by every day during the holiday season and seeing all these lights, it’s so magical,” Hagood said about Founders Park at Campbell Station annually lit up with multiple Christmas colors. “We get a daily treat, and we’re really sad when it ends and Christmas is over.” The Hagoods were among an estimated crowd of 1,000 who weren’t deterred by a few brief
periods of light rain to enjoy an annual treat: Fourth Annual Light the Park ceremony in Founders Park Monday evening, Dec. 1. “We came the first year [2011] and then we had other things going on” the past two years, Hagood said. “We love it because it’s just like a small town feel, you know, singing together.” Starting the evening with Christmas music from Concord Brass followed by Christmas songs from First Baptist Concord Elevate Children’s Choir, the hour-long kickoff culminated with an appearance from Santa Claus. St. Nick helped Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill flip the switch to light up the park.
More than 36,000 red, green and blue lights came to life on 60 trees and various structures, including the park’s gazebo. Though most of the trees are artificial, the light display is centered around a multi-colored 20foot pine. “It’s just so beautiful,” said Jessica Taylor, whose 2-year-old twin girls, Rea Dorothy and Anne Charlotte, became old enough to enjoy the family’s first Light the Park celebration. “Now they’re able to walk and hold hands. … And they love people,” Taylor, from Village Green, added. “… I like any activity where I can get the girls See CAMPBELL on Page 4A

Quick start, strong finish lift Warriors past Ice Admirals ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutpress.com
Not being ready to play against the previously winless Warriors (0-2) according to their head coach and at least one player, Farragut’s Ice Admirals were down 4-0 less than eight minutes after dropping the opening puck. “I think we didn’t have our heads into it,” Brandon Timmis, FHS senior defender, said about a 9-1 loss in this Knoxville Amateur Warriors 9 Hockey Asso-ciaAdmirals 1 tion High School League game Thursday night, Dec 4, in the Icearium. “We weren’t playing like a team. No one was trying as hard as they could. “We have a bunch of [Warriors] friends out there, but we just couldn’t pull it together. … The whole team just kind of fell apart.” Though FHS rebounded for an even second period, one goal apiece, three more Warrior goals in the third period added up to a blowout (clock runs continuously after a six-goal deficit), dropping the Ice Admirals to 0-2-1.
State champs From page 8A
Junior running back Alexander Berube scored from 13 yards out late in the second quarter to push Webb’s lead to 31-7 at halftime. He added a 4-yard scoring run midway into the third quarter. “I thought Alexander Berube played very well in the game,”
Freshman John Barckhoff’s goal in front of the net, assisted by Steven Popovich, was Farragut’s only tally. “They came out hungry. They outworked us,” FHS head coach Jeff Lindsay said. “Right from the drop of the puck they went right down and scored. They were ready to play and our guys weren’t. “I thought we were back on track last week with a 1-1 tie with Bearden[/Karns], but they didn’t show up. …. I think they were just too laid back before going out there,” he added. However, “I thought our third line worked pretty hard, they had only one goal [scored] against them,” Lindsay said about Parker Miller, Jessica Callahan and Ethan Barnett. “… Kyle [Lindsay] on defense didn’t do too bad.” A “hat trick,” from Austen Thompson of Christian Academy of Knoxville (three goals) led the Warriors, who ended with a 22-15 advantage in shots-on-goal. The winless Warriors rebounded in style after losing their first two games (2-1 against Bearden/Karns and 4-2 versus the Knights).
Meske said. Berube also added five solo tackles as a defensive back. “In the second series of the game he caused a fumble. … He made some big plays. “Brock Beeler always makes plays,” Meske added about his senior Q-back/defensive back. The Spartans won going away despite BGA (10-3) winning the total yardage battle 326 versus

Webb forced four Wildcats turnovers: Alexander and Andrew Craig, junior defensive end, recovered BGA fumbles. Thomas Jordan, sophomore linebacker, led Webb in solo tackles with eight. Christopher Stephens, senior defensive back, had six. Berube, Mitchell and Craig each added five. Thompson, a defensive tackle, had two sacks for minus-15 yards.
The lone HVA player, junior goalie Josh Creed, saved 14 of 15 shots. “He’s done what he’s supposed to do. The goal tonight wasn’t even his fault,” David Roulier, Warriors head coach, said.
“I thought our team played really good tonight. I thought we passed the puck a lot better than we usually do,” Creed said. “Our defense played fantastic. … I think this is just a big stepping stone for our team.”

Having participated in last year’s inaugural U.S. Flag Retirement ceremony on Veterans Day, girls from American Heritage Troop 413 were anxious to spread the word for this year’s ceremony behind St. John Neumann School and SJN Parish. Reflecting on last year’s inaugural ceremony at SJN, which also honored Veterans, Troop 413 girls “loved it so much, and it was so moving to them, that they actually made sure all their other friends came this year,” Lydia Donahue, Troop coordinator (ages 5 to 18), said moments prior to the Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 11, ceremony. “And made sure that there was more kids coming because they really felt it was that important.” As a result, Troop 413 participation grew “from five to seven” last year to “between 15 and 20 in 2014,” Donahue added. With numerous Veterans from American Legion Posts 70, 256, 278 and VFW Huff Post 5150 and other military veterans on hand, retired U.S. Army Sgt. George C. George LeCrone Sr., 5150, served as emcee. After a ceremony led by LeCrone underscoring the history of the flag and Veterans Day,
along with sharing Troop casualties and Missing in Action totals in wars and conflicts dating back to World War I, he and other veterans retired scores of flags at four bins. They were assisted by 413, chartered by Knoxville Christian School, along with American Heritage Troop 215, chartered by St. John Neumann Parish and Cub Scouts of America Pack 125, chartered by SJN. “I think the whole Veterans Day is important for them to remember, those who served our country and fought for our freedoms,” Donahue, with two daughters in 413 plus another who “graduated” from the Troop, said. “To participate in everything that they can. “I think it’s important to understand the importance of the flag, that there’s a proper way to retire it,” she added. “George does a great job explaining to them the different parts of the flag and the importance of the flag and what it means.” Scoutmaster Christopher Horwege and his wife, Christine Horwege of Farragut — third generation Veterans — are the parents of three Scouts who participated. “This is an opportunity for my husband and I to share our stories as well as our fathers’ stoSee FLAG on Page 4A

Brainstorming between a Hardin Valley Academy senior and his Boy Scout Troop 555 Eagle Scout advisor resulted in a new addition to Farragut Town Hall. Securing a permanent U.S. Flag retirement bin on Town Hall grounds, mounted adjacent to its back south side parking area since midSeptember, was Colin Bennett’s successful Eagle Scout project.

Colin Bennett, Eagle Scout with Boy Scout Troop 555 (sponsored by Farragut First United Methodist Church), collects disposed U.S. flags for retirement at a bin Wednesday, Nov. 26, which was permanently placed on the southern grounds of Farragut Town Hall, in its back parking lot, in September. Responsible for receiving Town approval for bin placement and leading construction of the bin foundation was part of Bennett’s Eagle Scout Project. Also on hand during the collection are, from left, former U.S. Air Force Capt. Mike Ferrell, Colin’s father; retired U.S. Navy Cmdr.

That’s the thing I’m most proud about,” Bennett said. “I came up with a few ideas of incorporating a flag retirement ceremony along with something that was well-needed here at the town of Farragut,” James Schrubb, 555 Eagle Scout advisor, said. Saying he knew of a similar retirement bin in Lenoir City, “I thought this was something that was well needed for the town of Farragut since talking with the secretary in there saying they had so many boxes full in their vault,” Schrubb added about the

Ava Lynn’s little brother, Parker, 3, enjoyed the singing. “He loves to listen to her sing, and sing with her at home,” said Montgomery, whose family — including husband, Jay Montgomery, and father, Tom Parker — attended its first Light the Park. Season Henry of Farragut also attended her first Light the Park with daughters, Aubrey, 4, and Raleigh, 20 months, in tow.
roughly 4-foot-tall-by-18-inchwide square bin with a triangular concrete base. “… The Troop could take responsibility for retiring the flags in an appropriate manor.” A plaque on the west side of the bin acknowledges Troop 555 and Bennett, who said he worked “133 man hours” on the entire project. Having to buy a bin, Bennett said total cost of the project was $618. Bennett and a team of 555 volunteers put the red bin in place over a two-day period in mid-September, digging a small foundation and sealing it with concrete. Bennett said “about 40” flags had been collected from the bin as of Wednesday, Nov. 26. All U.S. Flags collected by Bennett are eventually retired by Troop 555 “during camp-outs, we always have campfires. … There’s usually a flag [retirement] ceremony,” Bennett said.
Bennett and Schrubb said they hope citizens disposing of flags in the bin will first fold them several times over. “If you put it in in a big wad as opposed to a triangle [fold], it would take up more space,” Schrubb said, adding that any multiple-folded flag deposit would work. As for getting approval from the Town, “It took a couple of months between us having to send e-mails back and forth because of just getting the actual details worked out,” Bennett said. “It was pretty easy getting permission because they already had a bunch of flags in storage they needed to get rid of.” Sue Stuhl, Parks & Leisure Services director for town of Farragut, said, “The members of the town of Farragut staff were happy to work with Mr. Bennett on his Eagle Scout project and provide a location for this project on the Town Hall property.”
Mom said Aubrey was “running around wanting the lights to come on already. … She wants us to dance to the music. “There’s lots of people from church that we know who are here [First Baptist Concord], so it’s a great community event. The Christmas music, cookies, all of it. I’m very satisfied with the atmosphere. Lots of Christmas spirit,” she added. Henry’s husband, Blake, and mother, Valerie Armfield of Farragut, also enjoyed the festivities. Jennifer Yamchuk brought along son, Jacob, 10, and daughter, Zoe, 4, for their first Light the Park. Zoe “was really excited,
and we saw it on the news, that’s how we found out about it,” Yamchuk added. Jacob said about his favorite things, “I really like all the lights and the big Christmas tree.” Tony Cox, general manager of event sponsor i105.3 WFIV radio, served as emcee dressed in an elf outfit. Other event sponsors were farragutpress, The Shrimp Dock, SouthEast Bank and Costco Wholesale. Refreshments also included hot cocoa and coffee provided by FirstWatch Daytime Café.

Furrow Automotive Group, which started out as Knoxville Motor Company, is observing a century of service to its customers in the Farragut and metropolitan areas this year. Knoxville Motor Company opened its doors in spring of 1915 as a franchise dealer for Jeffries Automobiles. One hundred years later, Furrow Automotive Group has built and sustained a reputation focused on dedicated people and quality products, Michael Holtz, z11 Communications, said. Today, Mercedes-Benz of Knoxville, Smart Car, Sprinter and Land Rover of Knoxville, make up the Furrow Automotive Group in the Knoxville area while the company has Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar and Infinity in Chattanooga, where Furrow Tolsma’s husband, John Tolsma, is a partner. “We’re proud of our history and heritage and honored to be a long-standing corporate citizen in Knoxville,” Lee Ann Furrow Tolsma, co-owner and president of Furrow Automotive Group, said. “Who would have guessed
that the original dealership opened in a field on the end of Gay Street would grow into a company that includes eight dealerships serving all of East Tennessee. “We have great quality with our staff, customers and our products,” Furrow Tolsma added. “We are just trustees of everything we own,” her father, Sam Furrow, Furrow Automotive Group chairman of the board, said. “Basically, [being in business 100 years] shows the stability this entity. “For the employees and us, it’s a sense of pride, and it puts a responsibility on us to pass on to the next generation [an entity that is] greater than we received it,” Furrow added. “We have a commitment, historically and in the future, to quality and excellence,” Furrow Tolsma said. “Our business is thriving because of that excellence in quality. “We got involved in 1980,” Furrow said. “It was just a perchance meeting of guys who owned the business.” Furrow and his partners bought the business and then he bought out his partners five years later.

March opening targeted for Town’s Honest 1 Auto Care Center ■ TAMMY CHEEK
tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut residents should expect to have a new car care business in Town this spring. Adam Marcus bought the building at 150 N. Campbell Station Road, between Lenoir City Utilities Board Customer Service and Rural/Metro buildings, and is expanding the building. He anticipates opening an Honest 1 Auto Care Center franchise in March 2015. “It’s a great opportunity to bring some life into an empty building,” Marcus said. “... I looked all around in the Knoxville area. I felt at home here. I felt like I fit in.” The building is approximately 1,00 square feet. Marcus said he plans to add 1,000 square feet. “Today, it’s a three-bay garage,” he said. “When it’s done, it will be a six-bay garage.” Farragut Municipal Planning Commission approved his site expansion plans during its meet-

ing Nov. 20. Marcus is in the process of applying for the building permit. Marcus said what makes the
business unique is its commitment to honesty and integrity and being a full-service auto care center.
“We will work on all makes and models,” he said. “We do everything a dealer would do for you but usually at prices that are
lower, and we are a lot more convenient because we are local.” The center will provide amenities such as pick-up and delivery service, a shuttle service, leather seating in the lobby, WiFi access, free beverages and snacks and a child play area, a three-year, 36,000-mile nationwide warranty on the center’s work and one-year roadside assistance at no charge for customers, Marcus said. “We will be 100 percent ecocertified, which means we have eco-friendly products the customer may choose to use,” he added. “At the end of the day, I think it’s a comfortable, friendly environment, where we educate the customers about their vehicles and how to properly maintain it. “With the high school close by, we will offer free car clinics focusing on new drivers or anyone else interested so they won’t be stranded on the road.” Marcus said he plans to have the center open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

‘Loud’ sweep for Farragut versus HVA ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A lot of noise in Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium, perhaps a sign that Hardin Valley Academy is catching Bearden as the top Farragut hoops rival, may have helped Chris Cool’s Admirals continue its best start in years. A mix-up in communication concerning how many fouls HVA star senAdmirals 75 ior guard Hawks 71 Blake Shockley had early in the second quarter was a testament to the noise Friday night, Dec. 5, at FHS. Farragut hung on late to win 7571 and improve to 7-0 overall, 2-0 in District 4-AAA. “It’s so Lady Admirals 53 loud in there that Lady Hawks 45 my [assistant] coach told me [Shockley] had two [fouls], but I thought he said, ‘Blaine’s hurt,’ I couldn’t understand him,” HVA head coach Keith Galloway said about leaving

Big 2nd quarter, seniors lift Webb to state 3peat ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
COOKEVILLE — An unselfish, hard working senior class, 13 strong, was the driving force in leading Webb School of Knoxville to its third consecutive TSSAA Division II-A Football state title. Using a 24-point second quarter to pull away, sparked by a blocked punt returned for a 15yard touchdown by senior Wrinn Alexander, the Spartans (10-3) beat Battle Ground Academy 38-
21 in the state championship game at Tennessee Tech Thursday afternoon, Dec. 4. “The momentum changer was the blocked punt, it was huge,” said Dave Meske, having just won his seventh TSSAA state crown in 30 years as Webb head coach — fifth in the last six years. The special teams score put the Spartans ahead for good 14-7 early in the second quarter. “Wrinn Alexander did a great job. We worked on that during the week. Robby Collier coaches
the punt return team. He thought we could get a block. Wrinn did a good job executing it.” Spartans 38 Another senior, Wildcats 21 Georgia Tech commitment Brant Mitchell, made big noise on both sides of the ball. His 10-yard scoring run as a running back tied the score 7-7 in the first quarter. Mitchell ended with 111 yards on 23 carries.

“We played more power football, we were trying to get first downs,” Meske said. “Offensive line did a good job [seniors Dustin Nickle, Bennett Harrison, Gage Thompson, Alec Vetrano and Cole Sams] and Brant ran hard. And then we worked everything else off of that.” An All-state linebacker and Mr. Football statewide among Division II-A linemen, Mitchell’s interception and 55-yard TD return made it 24-7. He later picked off another pass.

“I was really happy, the whole year, with our defense,” Meske said. “I thought we played well on the defensive side. … We played extremely well against the run and we made plays in the secondary.” Sophomore kicker Andrew Favaro nailed a 27-yard field goal, in addition to converting on all five of his extra point attempts, just before Mitchell’s interception score.

Shockley in the game with two fouls, thinking it was only one, in the first quarter. Shockley, who ended with just 12 points, picked up foul number three and had to sit out a large chunk of the second quarter. The Admirals overcame a 29-20 Hawks lead with 5:30 remaining in the half with a 19-3 run to take control into the fourth quarter. HVA then overcome a seven point fourth quarter deficit with 3:30 left to tie it, 65-65, on Tyler Durden’s 5-footer with 2:28 to play. The Ads, however, got a critical late tip-in from Drew Driscoll and two huge baskets each from Ty Allen (11 points) and David Dawson (11), plus clutch defensive rebounds, to seal the deal. FHS junior wing Alexander Rather scored a game-high 17. Jason Mayfield, FHS Lady Ads skipper, said poor motivation affected his defense and poor vision affected his offense when it came to getting the ball inside to 6-foot-2 junior post Jaiden McCoy. Though McCoy wasn’t getting enough looks from her teammates when posting up according to Mayfield, in addition to “tweaking her ankle pretty bad” in the third quarter, McCoy still finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds in helping Farragut salt away victory late, 53-45. But only after FHS trailed by single digits from the first quarter to midway into the third frame. “She battled. She’s a tough match-up for anybody,” Mayfield said about McCoy. The Lady Ads finally grabbed the lead midmay into the third quarter, 31-30, on Anna Woodford’s lay-up as part of a 16-5 run to take a 41-35 lead after three.
(More on girls later in this story) Chris Cool, FHS boys head coach, said Rather and Luke Janney (13 points) “gave us a spark in the second quarter. Will Doerger came in and had a big slam, got the crowd going. ... Keegan McGuire and Drew Driscoll played 80 percent of the game handling the ball. I thought they did a great job.” Allen, a senior post, said about HVA, “They run and gun, which honestly they’re really good at. ... “We just tried to slow it down. “I’ve been in some really loud games, like Bearden, but that’s the loudest I’ve ever heard it,” he added. “It fuels us. It’s awesome.” Caleb Clevenger, HVA senior guard who scored 12, said his Hawks “laid back a little bit. We don’t need to lay back, we just need to keep pounding them. “We just kind of stopped listening to coach.” HVA fell to 6-3, 1-1. Durden and Seth Long each scored 10 for the Hawks. Among Mayfield’s girls, Woodford, a senior forward, “played pretty well early (13 points, 8 rebounds),” he said. “Finished well.” Kristen Freeman, senior post (9 points, 8 rebounds) “played well at the end.” Farragut improved to 4-3 overall, 2-0 in 4-AAA after the win. The Lady Hawks fell to 6-3, 0-2. “I thought our defense was pretty good the whole game,” HVA head coach Jennifer Galloway said. “The difference was our rebounding. In the third quarter they were able to get seven offensive rebounds ... they converted on, like, four or five of them. Abbey Cornelius, freshman post, was the only HVA double digit scorer (14). “I thought Abbey did a great job of keeping her composure and doing what she does best,” Galloway said.

packed the fruit in boxes, others covered the boxes and took them to their designated location. “Everything went smoothly,” Lackey said. “When we took orders for delivery, it went smoother than before. Yesterday, it only took an hour-and-a-half. Before it took three or four hours.” “I thought it went pretty well,” band member Noah Hobson said. William Childress, another band member, said he also thought the sale went well. “I just hope we can buy some decent things,” he said. “We had a great year with the fruit sale,” Keith Clupper, FHS band director, said. “I appreciate the hard work of the parents and students. We had a great Blitz Day in September.” Clupper said money raised from the sale will be used to replace a lot of old instruments. “We count the fruit sale as a large percentage of our budget See FHS on Page 8B

A telethon produced by Bearden High School’s Student Government Association and leadership class has raised $2,672 for Second Harvest Food Bank. The hour-long telethon, which took place Wednesday, Oct. 29, in the school’s commons area of its West Mall, was Bearden High students’ first time to hold the event, Rachel Harmon, Bearden High SGA advisor and track coach, said. The telethon was broadcast live on KCS-TV Comcast channel 10 and AT&T’s U-Verse channel 99. It also was streamed live at knoxschools.org.kcstv, Melissa Ogden, director of public affairs with Knox County Schools, said. “Viewers were able to call and pledge donations in support of Second Harvest,” Ogden added. The program was produced entirely by students, Harmon said. “At first, I was nervous but now I think it’s a great opportunity to reach out to the community in ways we haven’t done before,” Kierstyn Freeman, SGA president, said. She was one of the three SGA members,

Farragut and area cookie lovers did not let the rain stop them from attending this year’s Cookie Walk and Craft Sale at Faith Lutheran Church. Proceeds from the event, which took place Saturday, Dec. 6, in the church, 225 Jamestowne Blvd, Farragut, benefited the church’s Shepherd of Hope Food Pantry. The church’s 70 bakers made 10,200 cookies for the Cookie Walk, Hartley Savitz, one of the co-chairpersons with Lyda Primka. Even though rain fell heavy during the event, more than 100 came to get cookies. “This is an annual experience for me,” buyer Emily Collins said while looking over the cookies. “I’ve gone [to the Cookie Walk] for as long as they have had it,” Dee Ann Gionta of Farragut said. Gionta added she puts together tins for people at her church. “I’m doing my baking today,”
she said. Megan Rose of Farragut said a friend of hers told her about the Cookie Walk and decided to come while Frank and Brenda Owens said they attend the event every year. In past year, the church raised about $5,000 and sold around 200 boxes of cookies, Savitz said. Besides the local cookie sales, the church receives matching funds from Thrivent Financial, she added. “Since it’s the end of the year, we depend on how much they will have to match,” Savitz said. The cookies were all homemade by hand, none store-bought, Caroline Erickson, another organizer, said. One of this year’s bakers, Melanie Moore, shared some of her secrets for a good holiday cookie. She made pumpkin cookies with cream cheese icing and painted sugar cookies. “We try to do real festive cookSee FAITH LUTHERAN on Page 5B

‘Friday Book Club’ bringing community together since 1911 ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
For 103 years, people from Farragut and the surrounding area have been coming together to read and talk about books as part of the Friday Book Club. “We’re still going strong,” Jeraldine Macon, club member who served as the birthday luncheon chairman, said. “I think it’s great. The club has been in continuous operation since 1911. “We started out as friends getting together, drinking tea and discussing books,” Macon added. The club now consists of 18 members and one on a waiting list, with bylaws and a constitution. “People from all around who live in Farragut, Knoxville and even Oak Ridge are part of the group,” she said. “I think it’s a great club,” Donna Hawn of Farragut said. “They do pick some good books to read, too.”
Hawn said she has been a club member for more than 20 years. Likewise, Irma McGuffey, also of Farragut, said she has been a club member for more than 20 years. “We’re the oldsters,” McGuffey said, adding she enjoys a lot of good reading and good fellowship as a member. “It’s a lot of fun to hear them review books we have not read,” she said. “It inspires us to read the books.” One such book review that inspired McGuffey was by Codoleezza Rice, American political scientist and diplomat, she said. Rosemary Fry, also of Farragut and the club’s corresponding secretary, said she has been in the club for six years. “I have three good friends in the club already, and I love to read,” she said. “They talked about the book club and invited me to join.” Fry said the club expands her interest in reading books she
would not have ordinarily read. “It makes me a better reader and it’s been very enjoyable. The ladies are just lovely,” she said. Macon said club members usually have meetings in fellow members’ homes. They have lunch and review a book. “We have nine books we read,” she said. Two members read a book at the same time and whomever has the book read first, gives a review. “We meet nine months out of the year,” she said. “We take off July and August,” she said. Macon, who served as recording secretary for three years, has been a member since 2000. This year, she served as chairman of the club’s luncheon to celebrate its 103th anniversary Friday, Oct. 3, at Fox Den Country Club. “It was a buffet dinner,” she said. “The theme was Italy.” “We got local author, Pamela See BOOK CLUB on Page 5B

How to decide on treatment for bone cancer in your pet
Scott Hamilton, friend
Alan Sloan
Scott Hamilton, former Olympic Gold Medal winning figure skater, signs the T-shirt of Aimee Wagner, a Farragut Middle School seventh-grader, during Hamilton’s visit to Cool Sports Home of the Icearium Friday, Dec. 5. Hamilton was on hand for a practice session for Scott Hamilton and Friends On Ice, a collection of some of the top figure skating talent in both the United States and worldwide — including four former Olympic medalist — for their Saturday, Dec. 6, fundraising performance in Civic Coliseum. Hamilton, an activist in the fight against cancer, created this annual fundraising performance to benefit Provision CARES Foundation and Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation.
Q: My veterinarian just told me that our Greyhound, ‘Shelby’, has bone cancer. Our family is devastated. We have all these decisions to make, and I’m really struggling to know what to do for her. Patty, Stephanie Farragut A: My Myers condolences Ask to you and the Vet your family. A cancer diagnosis is scary and overwhelming. It’s OK to take some time to adjust to the idea and the changes that go along with this, but then you need to really start thinking about what you want for Shelby. Bone cancer, primarily osteosarcoma, is a fast growing and aggressive type of cancer. It occurs typi-
cally at the ends of long bones, such as the femur (thigh bone) but can occur in any bone, such as the jaw or a rib. Osteosarcoma can affect any dog or cat, but most often strikes older, large breed dogs. Bone cancer is a very painful condition, so this needs to be addressed now. Multiple oral medications can be given to help with the pain. Unfortunately, this is only helpful temporarily. The pain intensifies as the cancer progresses. Limb amputation is often discussed as a way to remove the primary tumor and source of pain. Radiation can also provide pain relief if amputation is not performed. Because this type of cancer is so aggressive, the cancer has often already spread (or metastasized) by the time of diagnosis. Your veterinarian will discuss chest xrays with you, to check for visible signs of metastasis. Unfortunately, amputation alo-
ne is usually not enough to eliminate the cancer. There are different types of chemotherapy available for osteosarcoma. If Shelby is otherwise healthy, you may choose to pursue this. We are thankful to have veterinary oncologists here in Knoxville, veterinarians who specialize in cancer care for dogs and cats. Patty, there are many things for you to consider when making your decision. These include, but are not limited to 1. Shelby’s overall health status, 2. Cancer staging – whether she has obvious metastasis or not, 3. If arthritis is present will she be able to walk well with three legs, and 4. Cost. Every pet, every family, and every situation is different. Take some time, talk to your veterinarian, and consider a consultation with an oncologist. Best wishes to you and Shelby. If you have questions about your pet, you may email Dr. Myers atlenoircityac@gmail.com

Six last-minute gift ideas and some shopping advice I know, I know, you haven’t completed your shopping and Christmas is the day after tomorrow. I get to say, “I know,” because I really do. I’m a Sidetracked Home Executive and in case you don’t know, we SHEs are procrastinators. So calm down and breathe, everything is going to be just fine. Get a pen and paper, sit down with your favorite drink Pam and think. Young Your creMake it ativity is yoFun! ur special gift and that super mind of yours just waits for times like this to come to your rescue. Knock and it will answer. Here are just a few of the lastminute ideas I’ve come up with over the years. 1. Give from your kitchen Since I love to cook and I make all my salad dressings from scratch, I’ve often given the dry ingredients along with the instructions to add olive oil and vinegar (you can provide that too, but let the recipient shake them together later for a fresher gift). I save glass jars and quart jars are the perfect size for the recipient to add the oil and vinegar to the dry ingredients. You can also use those wine vinegar bottles for the oil and vinegar and put the dry ingredients into one of those cute little jars that sample jellies and honey come in when you have room service at a hotel. Gifts from your kitchen are always welcomed. See what you can whip up to give. 2. Give money Download Everybody Loves Money from my website for ten fun ways to give cash using stuff you’ve got around the house or from the grocery store. 3. Write a letter I love to write letters to those I love and update them on how much they mean to me. Since we give money at Christmastime, adding a page with my love adds so much to the value of the gifts. 4. Stay away from the mall! When you’re in a rush, the brain tends to give in to the pressure of noise, loud Christmas music and flashy displays. It just wants to get you out of the chaos and get to someplace quieter. If you must to go to Target or Walmart, wear earplugs. My daughter Peggy discovered earplugs when she was a young mother. She told me they were just like taking a tranquilizer. At this point in time, it’s good to avoid stores that sell nothing but Christmas stuff. If you haven’t hauled out holly, it’s too late. And do NOT go to any stores throwing last-minute sales unless you want to end up in therapy or handcuffs. 5. Plan for just one stop Before you head out spend at least twenty minutes making a list of what you need at the store. This thinking time will save you so much time when you’re out there. Pretend you’re back in Little House on the Prairie days and you have to get everything from Mr. Olson’s store. That will spark your creative mind as you look for what you need on that list you took time to make. Note: don’t leave it at home.

Schoenewaldt, who writes historical fiction,” Macon said. “She reviewed ‘Swimming in the Moon.’” When the club looks for new members, Macon said the current members pass the word around then potential new members come to a meeting. Afterward, the club’s members vote on whether to let the prospective member in the club.
6. Give a gift of your time and energy One year my son Michael gave his cousins a voucher he printed up on the computer to take them to a movie complete with treats. He told me later, that he should have given just the movie because the combination of movie and treats went way over his gift-giving budget. You could make vouchers for your help with house cleaning, car washing, gardening, sewing, laundry, baking, baby sitting, pet walking, grocery shopping and such. Be Kind The most important thing you should do at this time is to be kind to yourself and don’t stress over this sacred holiday. And remember, like the words to one of my favorite Christmas songs, “It’s not the things you do at Christmas, but the little things you do all year long.” For more from Pam Young go to www.cluborganized.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.

ies,” Moore said. “We say, ‘no brown cookies.’ “Make them colorful, you know, those special cookies you had growing up,” Moore added. For instance, snickerdoodles and powdered sugar wedding cookies. Moore said bakers made brownies dipped in sprinkles, sugar cookies with sprinkles, iced and frosted cookies. “I think people’s favorites are the ones with frosting or sprinkles,” she added. “The bakers are creative, using red and green. It makes you think of Christmas.” Besides the cookies, the crowd also shopped through the craft booths. This year there were 28 booths, Kristi Thomas, Cookie Walk committee member in charge of crafts, said. “We have several returning from last year and some new ones,” Thomas added. “I’m amazed at how much time they spend on their crafts, and they are beautiful.”

FHS students rally for Love Kitchen
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
To borrow a sports phrase, Farragut High School Student Government Association rallied late — a huge comeback in the final day after collections for Love Kitchen in East Knoxville were well under the same total last fall — to set another record. More than 13,000 cans were collected in just five days (Oct. 27-31), roughly 8,000 the final day, surpassing last year’s record amount for cans ever collected by one school for Love Kitchen. As dozens of SGA students began rolling boxes of cans into the Kitchen, those lovable and grateful senior citizen twins, Love Kitchen founders Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner, were once again astonished by what they were seeing. “We did not think we were going to get even half of what we got last year, but we ended up getting more,” said senior K.C. Ward, Class of 2015 vice president and one of roughly 80 SGA members contributing time, cans and cash. “Oh honey, isn’t this a blessing?” Helen said as the carts coming in resembled train cars running on a track. “You all just don’t know how we appreciate it.

along with Piper Givens and Kelsey Kinser, committee chairs, who planned and organized the telethon. “This [program] was very ambitious for us,” Harmon said. “I think it is a great thing for Bearden High School,” Givens said. “We’ve had some lower levels of participation in the past couple of years, so I’m hoping this fundraiser will really open up Second Harvest to the community and bring in a little more outside participation and bring in donations.” “[The students’ telethon] moves me so much,” Elaine Streno, Second Harvest executive director, said, adding the students’ efforts show amazing spirit and compassion for the 130,000 people Second Harvest tries to feed every month. “We serve 18 counties, so it’s a broad challenge,” Streno said. “This is special,” Dr. John Bartlett, Bearden High School principal, said. “It’s all studentled and produced, so it’s Bearden

ple have a good holiday season.” However, as of delivery day Friday, “We were worried we weren’t going to have 5,000 cans today,” senior Austin French, SGA president, said. “In the last couple of days we started announcing it more and more” around school. “The is the most important event that we do.” Senior Madeline Stephens, SGA official and Class of 2015 president, said the student response Friday morning “was just amazing. Kids were walking in with bags of cans in the morning and donating money left and right. It was just great to see the school come together like it did. “The first two days we didn’t do

High School’s way of giving back to the community through Second Harvest. “That’s why we’re doing what we do,” Bartlett added. “We have great kids. You can see how good these kids are.” The students’ goal was to raise $10,000 with the telethon, Harmon said. “We know it’s lofty, but we like our students to set their goals high,” she added. The telethon featured interviews and videos highlighting
Second Harvest programs, performances by the school’s cheerleaders and a can sculpture contest, Harmon said. The group winning the can sculpture contest included Claire Napier, Beth Lynam, Taylor Blake, Callie Elonen, Sophie Baker, Tylor Sherrod, Morgan Johnson, Ariana Dotson and Camilla Fielder. The telethon came about after Sean Dreher, who produces videos for the school system and whose wife works at the school, offered to do student productions for
Bearden High, Harmon said. She told him the students would like to do a telethon for Second Harvest. “We’ve always done a fundraiser for Second Harvest for the past 20 years,” she said. “In the last couple of years, we’ve raised $40,000 to $60,000 for Second Harvest,” Bartlett said. “Bearden has a long history with Second Harvest,” Kinser said. In 2005, Ogden said BHS stu-
dents joined other Knox County schools in “6 Shares,” a friendly competition between schools to see who could raise the most donations for Second Harvest. “We used to compete with Farragut High School,” Kinser said. “They switched to support the Love Kitchen, so we had to come up with new and innovative ways to raise money we previously raised by competing.”
as well as last year. We were concerned about even meeting maybe half of what we got last year,” Stephens added about having only about 1,000 cans after two days. “It
was just a really big group effort. “It was insane.” Using $1,988 in FHS student donations Friday morning just hours before its scheduled deliv-
ery, SGA members went to a discount grocery store in Lenoir City “and in under an hour we got 2,500 cans in three cars” Ward said. After the delivery, SGA students
stood in a small line to get their chance to personally meet, hug and have their photo taken with Helen and Ellen.

“I’ve been in the trucking industry all my life, and the Lord has blessed us in so many ways,” Breeding, who owns and operates Conestoga Transport with his son, said. “This Big Rig connects three things I enjoy: trucking, barbecuing and sharing, “We do not do this as a business, and we are not for hire. We have never charged for our food or service,” he said. Among the charities and non-profit groups for which he has cooked are East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, Muscular Dystrophy Association, First Baptist Concord, Partners in Health to benefit Hope for Haiti, Hope Resources for crisis pregnancies, Knox Area Rescue Ministry for the homeless and Shangri-La Therapeutic Riding Academy for folks with disabilities. “We will do some of those and others each year,” he said. The Big Rig was custom-built by O.H. Hendricks in Memphis, and Breeding said it is one of a kind. The trailer is about 30 feet long and weighs about 18,000 pounds. “We carry everything we need, including a cooler for the meat and a generator to run it,” he said. “We have fish fryers that heat from propane and a twosided barbecue section that we’ll put about 500 pounds of charcoal in for a full days’ cooking event.” The endeavor, which started in 2010, was an idea he had in the middle of the night, Breeding said. “It was a God-given idea,” Denise said. “It took me a year to come around and say ‘yes, let’s do this.’”
“Barbecue has always been one of my hobbies, along with cooking in big skillets,” Breeding said. “For a while, my wife and I cooked for friends and family; but eventually, we wanted to do something more. We decided we could give something back by taking barbecuing to a new level and helping others. “My family and friends really enjoy coming out and helping at these events,” added. “The truck and trailer make it fun for us to do.
“Our favorite is baby back ribs,” Breeding said. “We also cooked smoked pulled pork barbecue, chicken, brisket, bologna, corn in the shucks and all types of smoked veggies. “Then, we cook cobbler desserts in Dutch ovens over charcoal. Most folks can’t get enough,” he added. “We have our own barbecue sauce, Conestoga, named for my son’s and my trucking company, Conestsoga Transport.”
