Holiday lights flipped on at The Cove ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Just 15 minutes before Holiday Festival of Lights opening ceremony was set to begin, hardly anyone had shown up at The Cove at Concord Park. But just as the 5:30 p.m. ceremony was getting underway Friday evening, Dec. 19, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett let a series of newly arriving children collectively do the honors: flipping the switch to light up the ceremonial jingle bell light at the entrance of this Knox County Parks and Recreation facility. He even stopped the 5-4-3-2-1 countdown midway through to allow newly arriving children to take part in flipping the switch. By 6 p.m. scores of park visitors were keeping Santa Claus quite busy at the park’s entrance, taking children’s toy requests before they enjoyed 50 displays along a three-quartersmile greenway. The 16th Annual Holiday Festival of Lights, which runs from 6 to 9 p.m., nightly through Dec. 30 excluding Christmas Day, drew first-time “lights” visitors Dan Stamps, his girlfriend,
Barbara Baggs, and her grandchild, Sarah Braggs, 6. “My daughter comes here every year just about with her kids,” Baggs said. “We wanted to see the lights, too,” Stamps said. “We like this park to start with. We come down here in the summertime just to walk the [greenway].” It was the second consecutive season for the family of Michael Hurt of Farragut to enjoy the lights — but their first opening ceremony — joining his wife, Tammy, and sons Gavin, 8, and Graham, 5. “It kind of gets you in the spirit of the season,” Michael Hurt said. “The lights are always great to see, and they put a lot of work into it.” Farragut residents Dean Fleming and wife, Lucy, said they were first-time “lights” visitors. “I just read about it in the paper and it sounded very nice,” she said. “We have some good friends that have come here in years past and said it was really beautiful.” DeWayne and Christy Leftwich of Oak Ridge were part of a nineSee COVE on Page 4A

A load of toys, clothes, artwork and more for East Tennessee Children’s Hospital overfilled a cart when farragutpress staff delivered donations to the hospital Thursday, Dec. 18. The donations were part of a ’Tis the Season program. Farragut area youngsters were invited to draw holiday photos for patients, and the community was asked to donate clothing, food and other items and bring all the items to farragutpress to deliver. “Oh, this is wonderful,” Kathi
Halstad, Children’s Hospital volunteer coordinator, said when she accepted the donations. “We are so blessed to have such caring community members. “It’s not much fun being in the hospital, especially during the holidays,” Halstad said. “This makes it much more bearable.” Sandra Getley, farragutpress classified account executive, said several staff members came up with the idea of filling up children’s hospital rooms with drawings and collecting donations. Farragutpress staff teamed up with Zaxby’s on the project and See ETCH on Page 4A

The Annual Captain’s Club Christmas Fest in Concord Marina Clubhouse, celebrating its Toys For Tots donation drive, was rocking as usual with uninhibited dancing mixed in with lots of food, drink and laughter. But most importantly, a long row of children’s bicycles stood beside a sizable pile of donated toys, which will brighten the Christmas of several Knox County underprivileged children, around the club’s Christmas tree. Many members were loaded down with toys in both arms upon arriving for this Saturday evening, Dec. 13, celebration. “I can’t imagine waking up Christmas morning and not having anything to open up,” James See TOYS on Page 2A

FMPC denies zone change ■

Applause resounded following Farragut Municipal Planning Commission’s 6-2 vote to recommend denying TDK Construction’s request to rezone parcels of land off Grigsby Chapel Road to R-6. After two hours of hearing from more than 20 residents and deliberating, Mayor Ralph McGill, chairwoman Rita Holladay, commissioners Ed St. Clair, Louise Povlin, Betty Dick and Ron Honken voted for St. Clair’s
motion to recommend denying the rezoning request while commissioners Ed Whiting and Noah Myers voted against the motion. “We were elated,” Jeanne Draughn, Chapel Point resident, said. “The commissioners heard our concerns and voted accordingly.” Nevertheless, some residents said they are waiting until Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen take action on the rezoning request. “I’m happy, but I’m still patiently waiting to see the final outcome,” Christie Hulsey, presi-
REALTOR, ABR, MULTI MILLION DOLLAR PRODUCER
dent of Village Green Homeowners Association, said. “The property is going to be developed, and we would like it to be developed in the way that is safe,” Holladay said. “I don’t want to see it impede traffic any more than it already is.” The property, located between Chapel Point subdivision and Westside Unitarian Universalist Church, is zoned for single-family dwellings, Ashley Miller, Farragut Community Development assistant director, said.

Bisch, marina harbormaster and Toys For Tots organization as Captain’s Club president, said to the gathering. “You all have done a wonderful job. Thank you very much.” In addition to the small mountain of toys collected, “We collected about $1,400” to spend on more toys, Bisch said after the party. Doug Bridle, Captain’s Club past president, took the microphone between songs. “Hey James, I don’t thank you very often but I really do thank you for this. You’ve done this pretty much on your own. And you’ve put on a fantastic show,” he said to Bisch with lots of applause. Bisch said the drive started in late November and ran through Wednesday, Dec. 17. That’s when U.S. Marines Reservists, Knoxville Base, 2101 Alcoa Highway, picked up the toys for distribution to the underprivileged children. Lisa and Joe Peterson had lots of toys in each arm to contribute prior to the party. “We’ve been doing this probably at least five years,” Lisa Peterson said. “There’s so many children in the
community that do not have a good Christmas, and this organization is wonderful to help that be alleviated and give toys to the children. “It is fun to have a lot of our friends here for the same purpose and giving to this wonderful organization,” she added. “We’re having a great time here at Concord Marina. The party is great, the band is great. The people are great.” Knox-based Hillbilly Jedi provided musical entertainment, performing a variety of hit tunes including those from Classis Rock, Blues, Country and Folk. Kenny and Cheryl Ferrell contributed to Toys For Tots as members of Captain’s Club for a fourth straight year. “There’s a lot of kids that don’t have the privilege of having gifts for Christmas,” Kenny Ferrell said. “… Toys For Tots is just another way for us to give.” Barbara and Roger Giles also contributed. “It’s a way to give back to the community by raising money for Toys For Tots,” Barbara Giles said. “This is our third or fourth” with Captain’s Club. Also part of the fundraising effort was a silent auction featuring roughly eight items.

Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus: A true story ...
• I was calling about the fact that there are three abandoned dwellings on Virtue Road that have been abandoned for years and are in disrepair and are probably breeding rats and no telling what else. I was just wondering whether there is any ordinance within the town of Farragut to have these things torn down. They are eyesores and, I think, attractive nuisances. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

care. There is a great need for senior housing in Farragut.” Sal Gaudiamo, who owns the Grigsby Chapel property, said TDK could create a plan to deal with the traffic problem. Commissioners discussed imposing conditions on the deed to restrict use and density or creating a new zone for senior living, but residents objected, saying they want single-family dwellings. Berkeley Park resident Bill Enser said residents are not against assisted living but residents do not want it at the proposed location. “Senior housing doesn’t need to be in Farragut,” Pauline Hamilton of Farragut Commons said. “We’re asking you to vote
no. “We absolutely don’t want it, so what else do we need to do?” Sylvia McMichael, another area resident, said. However, some said they were in favor of the proposed senior living dwellings. Gabriella Preston of Prestwick Place said she would like to have another senior living facility in Farragut. “I think of my parents,” she said. “I want them close by.” Jason Perry, another resident and a developer with PMG, said while he is a competitor with TDK, he thinks senior living would involve less traffic than single-family.
center and home health. Items donated to the hospital are processed through East Tennessee Children’s Hospital Volunteer Services, she said.. “When donations come in, we sort everything,” Allmon said. “Our Child Life staff then comes down and shops through the donations for each child.” The next morning, children wake up to find the bag of presents “Santa” left them at the foot of the bed. Later, Santa went around the hospital visiting children. “It really makes [the holiday] very special,” Allmon said. “You’d
be surprised. Even a small toy will make a difference. “We see a lot of Christmas miracles this time of year,” she said. As of mid-December, the hospital has 140 children, she said. That number will change as many are dismissed just before Christmas and as new patients arrive in the emergency room. “This is the time of year for flu and respiratory illnesses, and doctors offices are closed,” Allmon said. “It ends up the ER is very busy.” She added many of the donated items also go to the emergency room.
DeWayne’s father, Madison Leftwich — making their firstever “lights” visit to The Cove. However, “This is what we’ve started as a family tradition,”
DeWayne Leftwich said about a big family evening of activities also including “a bonfire, karaoke and games. This is the start of it right here.”
Editorial Page, New York Sun, 1897 We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O'Hanlon Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world, which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus? Thank God he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Francis P. Church's editorial, "Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus" was an immediate sensation, and became one of the most famous editorials ever written. It first appeared in the The New York Sun in 1897, more than a hundred years ago, and was reprinted annually until 1949 when the paper went out of business.

zoning would allow for multifamily residential dwellings, such as apartments and senior housing. Ross Bradley, vice president of development for TDK, said he intends to build a senior living facility. Bradley said initially, his firm looked at apartments but decided to build elderly housing after meeting with residents Sept. 25. He asked them if they would accept senior living housing, and many said yes. “We have no intention of building apartments,” Bradley said. “We are strictly looking at housing for senior living and memory

business Make way for gifts, donate to Goodwill briefs ■ TAMMY CHEEK
tcheeks@farragutpress.com
While people are clearing out items to make way for Christmas gifts, Goodwill Industries of Knoxville urges people to donate castaway items to Goodwill. “We definitely need donations this time of year,” Erin Rosalina, public relations and marketing coordinator for Goodwill Industries of Knoxville, said. “It’s a great time of year to donate. [Donors] can get a tax deduction while they are cleaning out their homes to make room for Christmas gifts. “And, if they donate by the end of the day Wednesday, Dec. 31, they’ll receive a receipt they can use for their 2014 tax deductions,” she added. “So, it really is a win-win, helping the community, saving money on taxes and cleaning out your home.” Rosalina said Goodwill is always looking for clothing and household goods that are gently used. Farragut residents can drop off and shop at their community’s Goodwill shop, 142 West End Ave. in the West End Shopping Center. It is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through

to provide vocational services and employment opportunities for people with barriers to employment, Rosalina said. “Those barriers can be a variety of things, from lower education levels to
cognitive or physical disabilities.” For more about donating at the Farragut store, call 865-675-6470 or link to gwiktn.org/locations, which lists all the stores’ locations.

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
The laser tag business formerly known as Battlefield Knoxville is coming to Farragut with a new branding, The Arena Knoxville. Dustin Wyrick, The Arena owner and Farragut resident, has moved his laser tag business out of its 9333 Kingston Pike location in Cedar Bluff and has leased the former Kroger building at 11240 Kingston Pike from the Matthews Group. He said he is looking to
open the first of the year. “I love it,” Wyrick said about moving his business to Farragut. “I think it’s a perfect place. It’s close to the high school and has great visibility. We already have an awesome relationship with Farragut High School.” Wyrick said the old Kroger store was his first choice before he moved to the Cedar Bluff area. “We looked at the building three years ago, but it had some kind of sublease on it so it didn’t work out. We wanted a long-term
lease, so we went to the location in Cedar Bluff,” he said. “We’re trying to get the plans approved through the Town Hall,” Wyrick added. “We should be on track for a New Year’s opening.” Besides a new name, laser tag patrons can expect some other changes at The Arena. “We doing

Fourth Annual Light the Park ceremony in Founders Park at Campbell Station Monday evening, Dec. 1, drew an estimated crowd of 1,000 who weren’t deterred by periods of light rain. 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. After giving out some small gifts to children, 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 20-foot pine.

Lady Ads stay hot, win 2 Guard-challenged FHS boys lose 2
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
GATLINBURG — One team, Hardin Valley Academy, talked about successfully “playing four quarters” in a 59-47 victory Lady Hawks 59 against Smith County. The Lady Owls, however, talked Lady Owls 47 about physical play “getting out of hand” in this Saturday, Dec. 20, tournament game. Though Smith County senior guard Callie Hackett was a one-girl scoring machine against the Lady Hawks — finishing with a game-high 34 points — Lady Owls head coach Owls 88 Campbell Brandon took her out during the game’s final Hawks 86 two minutes in final round of Gatlinburg-Pittman High School Smoky Mountain Classic Christmas Tournament (Dec. 18-20). Unhappy with the officiating, “I was a afraid she was going to get hurt out there,” Brandon said. “I think the officials let it get out of hand. Some of the kids could have gotten hurt out there, you know. I’m disappointed with the officiating. … I thought it
Best friends and off-season “Nike League” teammates, Farragut junior post Jaiden McCoy and Fulton sophomore post KeKe McKinney squared off in Cody Wright Arena at Fulton Thursday night, Dec. 18. Though McKinney “won” the individual scoring battle 15 points versus McCoy’s 11, it was the Lady Admirals who won the team battle, 37-34, to go 2-0 last week and improve to 8Lady Admirals 37 4. Fulton dropped to 4-3. Lady Falcons 34 “We both battled. We both did good. We’re close friends,” the 6-foot-2 McKinney said about she and McCoy, 6-foot-3. “She’s one of my teammates from Nike ball. I love her,” McCoy said about McKinney. “She’s really good at defense. It was actually great to have someone who’s at my skill level to challenge me like that. … I think I did well guarding KeKe. I started stopping her in the second half.” The Lady Admirals eventually won after zooming ahead 8-0 before going more than nine minutes with just two points. Farragut fell behind 17-12 and trailed 17-16 at the half. For all of the McCoy versus McKinney attention, it was Lady Ads senior wing Anna Woodford who led her team in scoring with 12. Kristen Freeman added nine and Miranda Burt 5. Meanwhile, Chris Cool’s Admirals boys team was turnover prone without its Falcons 56 top two point guards, both out with injuries, while 6Admirals 38 foot-3 Falcons post Joe Kimber owned the glass (17 rebounds and a gamehigh 19 points) in a 56-38 Fulton victory. It was 3413 at the half (More on this game later in story). After that 8-0 Lady Admirals lead, “They definitely pulled up their intensity and they started coming at us and they were just attacking more. And their defense was a bit more intense, too,” Woodford said. “… Fulton is definitely a great shot-blocking team.” Echoing a point made by Farragut head coach Jason Mayfield, Woodford said, “We did a really bad job of getting to ball to [McCoy] in the first half. But then she stepped it up and we stepped it up.” Seven of McCoy’s points came in the third quarter, as the Lady Admirals took a 29-24 lead before holding on. Farragut’s defense held the Lady Falcons to only one free throw during the final three minutes of the fourth quarter. Two McCoy free throws with 1:58 to

Both Bearden High School basketball teams posted impressive home victories over AustinEast Thursday, Dec. 18. The Lady Bulldogs routed the Lady Roadrunners 66-19 while unbeaten Lady Bulldogs 66 Bearden Lady Roadrunners 19 toppled the Austin-East boys 92-63. The Lady Bulldogs faced a potential trap game against the Lady Roadrunners, but BHS prevailed easily after the Lady Roadrunners hung around in the first quarter. Bearden (12-2) held a 25-10 lead after the opening frame before finding its offensive rhythm and turning up the defensive pressure. The Lady Bulldogs opened a 43-14 lead and cruised to the easy victory.
The Lady Bulldogs, as usual, boasted a balanced offensive attack with Madison Rice leading the way with 17 points. Though the Lady Roadrunners were winless (0-7), “We have to respect every opponent and play hard,” Rice said. “We have to play hard in every game and we have to Bulldogs 92 get better in Roadrunners 63 every game. You can learn from every game.” “I’ve been really proud of this team for its effort this year,” Lady Bulldogs’ head coach Justin Underwood said. “I’m proud of the way that we’ve handled things. “I’m really proud of Madison. She’s come a long way and she shoots the highest percentage for us,” he added. Rice received plenty of help from a potent supporting cast.
Freshman Trinity Lee scored 15 points. Junior point guard Holly Hagood added 10 and Chanler Geer finished with eight. Geer, a junior, said defense was the key as BHS surrendered just nine points over the final three quarters. “We try not to take any game for granted,” she said. “For us, the defense has always been the key.” The Bearden boys, meanwhile, kept their perfect record intact with a dominant win over the Roadrunners (7-4). The Bulldogs (14-0) received a little incentive before the game. “I told them that if they were undefeated at the break then I would give them some time off,” Bearden head coach Mark Blevins said. “They played like they wanted that time off.” Bearden opened an early 20-12 lead and just kept expanding its See BEARDEN on Page 9A

was in the first half.” Senior Drew Driscoll was the only experienced guard coach Cool had available. “We got behind early. We really do miss Luke Janney and Keegan McGuire, they’re big parts of our team backcourt-wise,” Driscoll said. “The only ballhandler we’ve got right now is myself.” About the absence of Janney and McGuire, “When we’re missing two pieces it hurts,” Cool said. Individually, “Matt played physical,” Cool added. Although Fulton head coach Jody Wright said his team “is a train wreck on offense, I thought we rebounded well. Kimber had a great night on the boards.”

play put the Lady Ads up 36-33. McKinney missed a pair of three-point field goal attempts to tie the game in the final seconds. Matt Eggert, Farragut senior post, led his team in scoring with 13 — 11 in the second half. Will Doerger scored eight and David Dawson six. The Ads went 0-2 last week and dropped to 8-4 overall. The Falcons (3-1 after the win) “had a lot of speed. They’re a lot more athletic than most teams we’ve seen and they can rebound on offense,” Eggert said. “I just tried to get the ball in the post, catch it and go up stronger than I

was very pitiful.” However, “They beat us because we didn’t play as hard as they did,” Brandon added about the Lady Hawks, who won two out of three in Gatlinburg to finish fifth in an eight-team Blue Bracket field. “They deserved to win.” Symphony Buxton, an HVA sophomore post who came off the bench to score a team-high 17, said, “We usually don’t play four quarters but we’re tired of losing. So we kind of went out with heart and played a little bit harder.” Hardin Valley’s boys, meanwhile, lost their fifth straight
game (7-8) — going 0-3 in Gatlinburg — after falling to Ooltewah 88-86 Saturday (more on HVA boys later in this story). Bekah Hampton was among the Lady Hawks team leaders in rebounds with 12 to go with six points. “That was one of my goals in this tournament, was to improve on my rebounding.” “It was rough. We all got through it, though,” Hampton added about the physical play. “We did play a full four quarters I felt like.” Abbey Cornelius, Lady Hawks freshman post, scored 15. Hardin Valley improved to 10-5 overall. Smith County fell to 9-4. Individually, HVA head coach
Jennifer Galloway said, “I thought Symphony played well. When she went in early, that forced them to go out of a man[-to-man defense] and into a zone. I thought Mandi [Hylton] did a good job on [Hackett] and then Lizzie [Davis] did a good job on [Hackett]. “Abbey hit some big baskets. Taylor Bishop [senior point] was able to run our offense.” Caleb Clevenger, senior guard, led HVA boys with 18 points. Tyler Thompson had 15, Blaine Shockley 13 and Jacob Schopmann 11. The Hawks led by as many as nine in the first quarter before the Owls took over early in the second half to lead by as many as 11 midway through the four quarter.
halftime. Sam Phillips and Adam Fulcher each scored nine points. “Everybody contributed. ... Sam played well. Austin had his best game and Adam had a good game,” Blevins said. “Coach Blevins challenged us to win this game and be 14-0,” Smith said. “We wanted it too.”

Newcomer Rockwell on target With national sponsorship West Valley Middle School eighth-grader fast becoming area, state competitive shooter
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Becoming a marksman Junior Competitive Shooter in less than one year, West Valley Middle School eighth-grader Sydney Rockwell has earned national sponsorship for her pinpoint accuracy. “I first started shooting with my uncle [Randy Bayer] and my dad [Robert Rockwell] when I went hunting. I was 10,” Sydney said. “… I got a deer every season. And then on my 13th birthday I went with my mom to the Aphrodite Shooters Gun Club. … A month later they had a mini-competition, so I participated in that.” She “was one of the top finishers,” her mother, club member Sheila Rockwell, said. “Sydney had expressed interest [in the club]. She started asking me, ‘Can I come with you? I want to learn,’” her mother added. “Prior to her coming with me, she had not had any experience with a pistol. … That night she borrowed a .22 [caliber pistol] from the range and started shooting it, and she was hitting [the target] dead in the center from the very beginning. And people started noticing.” That’s when Eric Matson, Sydney’s coach, stepped into the picture.
“She is a very exceptional young lady,” Matson, who has taught “SWAT Teams, law enforcement and security” for roughly 25 years, said about Sydney. He also is her coach and sponsor with Norseman Training and Consulting Group of Knoxville. “Very skilled, very dedicated to what she’s doing. She puts a lot of practice time in. … She’s excelled very rapidly. … We work a minimum of two nights a week, an hour to an hour-and-a-half each night,” Matson added. “And that’s just on the pistol. And now she’ll start picking up another hour or two hours a week on rifle and shotgun.” Matson said Sydney has “excelled faster than any student I’ve had before. She’s just got some natural gifts. … She is the best competitive shooter I’ve coached.” A member of Team Norseman shooters, Sydney “is one of the best overall shooters in our group,” Matson said about Sydney attaining marksman status from International Defensive Pistol Association. “… Sky is the limit. … Pretty soon I’d venture to guess she’ll be in the sharpshooter class, which is the next class up. … She’s just starting to shoot 3-Gun competition [pistol, shotgun, rifle].”
In addition to top competitive finishes locally, Sydney recently finished third at a competition in Nashville among adult standard service pistol marksmen from across the Southeastern U.S., both male and female. “She just went to Fort Benning [Ga. in early November] and spent three days with the United States Army Marksmanship Unit,” Matson said. AR-15 Gun Owners of America, Warner Robbins, Ga., picked up Sydney as a sponsor earlier this month, one of only three junior shooters they sponsor nationwide, Chris Waltz, company president/CEO, said. “She’s very well known. And she’s an awesome shooter. So [Sydney] has had some good training with some of the world’s finest marksmen,” he added. For Sydney to ascend to marksmanship class only about a year after first taking up shooting, “You don’t find them very often,” Waltz said. Sydney also is being sponsored by American Women’s Shooter Magazine, which has done one of its weekly features on the WVM eighth-grader, and CherryBalmz Weapons Lubricants. About her sudden success, Sydney said, “This whole thing has See ROCKWELL on Page 14A

Inaugural FIS Career Day draws variety ■ ALAN SLOAN

Capt. J.P. Davanzo, an airline pilot from Farragut who flies an AirBus 320 (178 passengers maximum) with Spirit Airlines out of McGhee Tyson Airport, speaks to 21 fifth-grade students during the 9:20 to 9:50 a.m. FIS Career Day session.
Lots of fifth-grade students at Farragut Intermediate School were chomping at the bit, according to their counselor, to hear about 20 different professions from the professionals themselves. Inaugural FIS Career Day, Thursday, Dec. 18, brought an attorney, cardiac nurse, U.S. Army veteran, politician, veterinarian, Med-Evac flight nurse, airline pilot and interpreter coordinator to name a few. The most popular, however, were “the FBI [agent, Ed Velasco], it was really big. And the artist
[Meggie Velasco]. And there was a lot of people [signed up] for the writer [Laura Ayo],” Carol Slatas, fifth-grade school counselor and event organizer, said. “The students were excited.” Choosing their top 22 professions in November (two weren’t offered Dec. 20), fifth-grade students were allowed to sign up and attend their three favorite professions, where that professional spoke then answered questions for about 30 minutes. Students then took five minutes to reach the next classroom for their next speaker. Twenty-two fifth-grade students rotated into the 9:55 to 10:25 a.m. session to hear retired
FBI Special Agent Ed Velasco, with 30 years service, who has a grandson in the third grade at FIS. “My daughter-in-law called me and asked if I would do this and I said ‘absolutely,’” Velasco said after his sessions were over. “They’re very bright kids. They asked me neat questions.” Twenty-one fifth-grade students rotated into the 9:20 to 9:50 a.m. session to hear Capt. J.P. Davanzo, an airline pilot from Farragut.

Sherrill Hills residents celebrate Christmas Community Day ■ TAMMY CHEEK
tcheek@farragutpress.com
Sherrill Hills residents welcomed the Farragut and surrounding community to its Home for the Holidays party, which followed its Showcase of Trees event. “It’s great,” Allene Blalock, formerly of Farragut, said during the event Thursday, Dec. 18, at Sherrill Hills, 271 Moss Grove Blvd, West Knoxville. “I love all the trees all around. “We have our little porches,” Blalock’s friend and another resident, Millie Warren, said. “We decorated those.” This year is the first for Showcase of Trees. During the week of the event, the facility also offered other events and ended the showcase with the party. During the program, groups and individuals could sponsor a tree, and then during a silent auction people could bid on those trees, Sara Hornbeck, marketing for Sherrill Hills an Independent Retirement Resort Community, said. She added the public sponsored 10 trees. “It’s outstanding,” Hornbeck said about the event. “The reception from the public was amazing. “We’re blessed, and we hope it will become one of our traditions to raise money for Knox County seniors,” she added. All the money raised from the event benefited Knox County Mobile Meals.

Only two shopping days left until Christmas! Lack of motivation causes procrastination! I’m always trying to figure out ways to use my creative mind to motivate me and then pass my discoveries on to you. I’m sort of like a walking SHE (Sidetracked Home Executive) research lab. As you know, if you’re a SHE, you have a retarded concept of time and then it’s, “Holy Smoke! It’s December 23, Christmas is in two days!” So why not use your divine gift of imagination to quick-start your motivation? Here’s my idea and it’s so simple, just pretend it’s December 23, and evoke a little panic and a good dose of adrenalin into your system. Because you’re a SHE, you Pam know that Young familiar Make it terror you’ve felt Fun! over years of lastminute shopping for holiday gifts. You’ve experienced that very unChristmassy feeling you get from dashes to the mall with its irritating marketing to get you to buy “mine,” “mine,” “mine,” like those seagulls in Finding Nemo. And don’t beat yourself up for knowing exactly how horrible that
feels; according to the National Retail Federation, nearly 32 million people haven’t started their shopping by Dec 9! (I should get them on my mailing list.) Just think about it, 32 million people just like you and me are procrastinators! It’s a pretty good guess that some of the folks you want to get gifts for are part of that 32 million. That’s what brings me to a great idea for you while you’re pretending you’re almost out of time. Those disorganized friends and family need something you can give to them! My book, The Joy of Being Disorganized! Go over the list of people you want to gift and pick out the ones you know are disorganized like you are. Order that number of The Joy of Being Disorganized books. The cost for one book is $14.95 so I suggest adding a five or ten dollar bill as a bookmark to bring your gifts up in value if you wish. As soon as you order the books, get to the bank for some fresh currency as this is the time of year banks carry new bills. Also when you buy more than one book, the cost of postage and handling doesn’t go up so you really save money. Once you’ve ordered the books and got the money at the bank TODAY, you can lift the fake feeling of being behind. Just think how fun it’ll be to cross people off your list and stop worrying! I’ve written an autographed note that I’ll put in with your mul-
tiple orders, so you can add them to your book gifts. Consider it a Christmas note from the author. Here’s what the note says: It’s my prayer that this book brings more joy your heart and into your home in the coming years. Joy is a gift from God and it has already been given. We just have to let go of struggling against our shortcomings, lighten up and find the blessings in them, for they are many. You are a child of God, privileged to be here on this speck of a planet in the infinity of the Universe. You were born to be joyful, and if you are disorganized it’s a blessing in disguise. It was given to you as a gift. If this doesn’t make sense to you right now, you are in for a treat, for this book, given to you as a loving gift, will open your eyes to how precious you are! Use the bookmark enclosed and don’t spend it until you’ve finished the book. If you promise to do that, it’s a good guess you’ll use the money to celebrate a new level of joy in your heart. Merry Christmas, Pam 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.

been very surprising. I never knew that I could be this good or accomplish something like this.” Looking ahead, “First I want to get a college scholarship, and then I would like to become a professional competitive shooter,” Sydney added. “I think of this as a career and something I really enjoy and I want to do for a very long time.” Her skills include shooting on the move, firing at moving targets,
firing at multiple targets and shooting from behind cover. After sharpshooter is the level of expert, followed by master. On average, Sydney said she spends “eight to 10 hours a week, probably minimum,” practicing Mondays through Thursdays and competing mostly on Saturdays. “It’s usually every day except for Sundays and Fridays,” her mother said. “But she’s probably going to be adding Fridays in now that she’s going to start training for 3Gun.”

Beautify HVA Hardin Valley Academy Freshmen Student Government teamed up with HVA PTSA to help beautify the school Saturday, Nov. 15. Representatives of the freshmen class planted a special red maple tree, donated by David Hartzler, along the front walkway into the school. Freshman class president Joey Neuman said, “We wanted to do something that would have a permanent mark here at HVA. The Class of 2018 will be remembered by everyone walking through our doors as they watch the growth of our tree.” On hand for the planting are, front from left, Landin Khiemdavanh, Abbey James, Neuman and Katelyn Rimmer.

Starliper, Rather & Kittrell partner for Mission of Hope Judi Starliper’s office partner’s with the staff of Rather & Kittrell each year to be the face of Mission of Hope to an elementary/intermediate school in Scott County TN. This year, the boys and girls basketball teams from Grace Christian Academy came to help! Our staff ran a “Minute to Win It” style game with kids as part of the warm up - that was so much fun! The crew from Grace Christian sang songs, played guitar and gave testimony and reminded the kids of the Reason For The season! Our school is just 1 of 27 schools MOH helped this year and every child received 2 toys, hygiene items, and a bible or scripture book. The most needy children also received
clothing, shoes and coats privately from MOH. One year, a while back, the office wondered that if the children in the district were so needy, how about the teachers? From then on Judi’s office worked tirelessly to fundraise in order to provide the teachers, administrators and support staff a gift each Christmas. This year’s theme was “A Night At The Movies” and each gift basket was filled with edible treats and drinks and movie rental codes to Redbox. Thanks to our partners in Hope we were able to provide 112 gifts to the deserving teachers at the elementary and intermediate school. Thank you to the contributors who helped make this possible:
Damita Beabers, Movement Mortgage (& her daughter Amanda); Wendy Gibbs, Jefferson Federal Bank; Cindy Bush, Knox News Sentinel; Realty Executives agent Daniel Parker; Realty Executives agent Ron Parkinson and wife Barbara; Ms. Lynn Beck; Jane Haney of Thermocopy; Bill Smith of HMS; Kevin & Jennifer Shick of Knoxville Web; Realty Executives Broker Steve Fogerty; Realty Executives/Relocation Inc.-Susan Varner, Alice Crawley, Denise Howard; and Maryann Azambuja of First American Home Warranty. These photos and cards from the kids tell a powerful story of love and hope. We wish you ALL a joyful and blessed holiday season!

clouds, with one student asking why a circular rainbow — which another student said looked “like a bull’s-eye” — seemed to form on the side of the airliner. “It’s just the way the sunlight was reflecting off the airplane onto the clouds,” Davanzo said. As for the basic requirements of his job, “If you want to basically be an airline pilot you have to have about 1,500 hours to get this license,” he said. “… My first job was flying newspapers to the Bahamas.”

McGhee Tyson Airport, is a Vanderbilt University graduate who “went to flight school afterwards,” he said. “There’s not as many pilots coming out of the military as there used to be.” Students perked up when Davanzo played a video of the cockpit when he was executing a takeoff in Fort Lauderdale heading to Boston. Watching the video of Davanzo approaching the runway to land in Boston, one student said, “That is so cool.” The children also perked up when Davanzo showed a video of a Spirit AirBus flying over the

Davanzo said his next airline pilot’s job assigned him “small cities. Then I got more experience and went to the airline where I’m at right now, which is a major airline.” At least one fifth-grade teacher, Nicole Thorley, asked her students to “get out your journal and write about your thoughts on what you heard today. Maybe you realized you want to be a veterinarian. … Did you reaffirm your interest in a particular career?”
