2013: highs and lows revisited ■

While Wanda Lacy was exhibiting modesty after being named 2013-14 State Teacher of the Year by Tennessee Department of Education, it was left to Seth Smith, Farragut High School assistant principal, to signal No. 1. Smith joined Lacy alongside a smartboard in her FHS advanced placement calculus classroom Monday morning, Oct. 7.

A plaque honoring the late Mayor Robert “Bob” Leonard was dedicated in Farragut Folklife Museum Sept. 30. Recognized during the ceremony was Marie Leonard, the mayor’s wife (at base of steps). Also pictured (top row) are Pat Leonard and Sheri Twohig, and (center row) from left, Jerry, Beth and Maggie Bledsoe.

While a new tax has yet to find traction within town of Farragut limits after first being proposed in May, a mandatory gun requirement ordinance was shot down in April. A gun allowance ordinance was gunned down six months later. Meanwhile, an interesting state Senate campaign battle fired its first shots in February. A popular Southeast supermarket opened in Town while a pair of big, national basketball figures lent their name and financial support to a Farragut school. School security tightened, while one of the most recognized Town employees in recent years resigned amid mystery. So sums up highlights of 2013 within Farragut’s boarders. • A proposed town of Farragut hotel/motel tax was tabled indefinitely despite Board of Mayor and Aldermen approving the tax on first reading (May 23 issue). • An ordinance proposal requiring all town of Farragut citizens to own a gun was voted down (4-1) by Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen April 25 (May 1 issue). • Farragut Town administrators were advised the Town is delinquent in paying a portion of Mixed Drink Tax to Knox County Schools, possibly owing as much as $1.1 million (Oct 17 issue).

• Dr. Richard Briggs, Knox County Commissioner and thoracic heart surgeon, announced his candidacy for state Senate District 7, Republic primary in February to oppose incumbent Stacey Campfield. Briggs and Campfield quickly exchanged attacks (Feb. 21 issue). • Ruth Hawk, Town Community Development director known for strict ordinance interpretations and a Town employee since 1994, was said to have “resigned” Aug. 30 without elaboration. (Sept. 5 issue). • New Northshore Elementary School (K-5) opened this school year off Northshore Drive near Pellissippi Parkway (Aug. 29 issue), taking with it a few dozen former Farragut Primary and Farragut Intermediate schools’ students. • Knoxville Christian School’s new $1.6 gymnasium officially named its basketball court Wade & Allan Houston Court, with both noted basketball personalities on hand, during a Dec. 9 dedication ceremony. (Dec. 19 issue). • School security in Farragut fell in line with tightened efforts in all Knox County kindergarten-through-12th-grade schools beginning with 2013-14 school year. Key changes included a security guard assigned to all 89 Knox County Schools and locked main entrance See 2013 on Page 4A

The Safer Holidays Task Force of the Knox County Sheriff’s Office arrested three women and found thousands of dollars worth of merchandise in their car following a complaint lodged by Kohl’s department store in Farragut loss prevention. Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputies searched through a Hyundai Sonata officers pulled over near the Kroger Marketplace fuel pumps in Farragut along Kingston Pike at around 4:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 20. Stacks of merchandise were on the ground outside the car, including a pile of blue jeans, some bed pillows and various other clothing in different piles. “We got a call from Kohl’s department store [along Kingston Pike] on a possible shoplifter, and the loss prevention associate at Kohl’s gave a real good description of the three females and the vehicle they were in,” KCSO Lt. George

Edlund said. “Our officers located them up here at the Kroger, initiated a traffic stop and you can see what all we found in the car.” All three women were apprehended, he said. They had multiple identifications, but were later identified as Yolanda Stevens, 36, Johnita Jones, 34, and LaToya Turner, 35, all of Cincinnati. The trio will be charged with felony theft. Other charges are pending. Officers also found devices that circumvented security. Edlund said the merchandise was mostly clothing and it’s estimated to be worth around $10,000 and was not just from one store. “I’m not exactly sure what they got from where, but we’ve got multiple stores,” he said. “They’ve been to Chattanooga. They’ve been in Atlanta. Where else they’ve been, we haven’t determined yet, and we may not ever be able to determine. We’re going to seize every bit of merchandise that they don’t have a

If we can take it to one of the local stores, we’ll return it back to the proper retailers.” The women are all from Cincinnati, Ohio, he said. “It’s not the first one we’ve seen like this, but it’s unusual in the quantity and it’s unusual to find somebody from Ohio,” he said. “Most of the shoplifting suspects we deal with are local or in this general region.

policereports • Dec. 15: Knox County Sheriff’s Office arrested four suspects, including a 22-year-old man and a 31-yearold woman, in connection to a shoplifting claim lodged by Walmart off Parkside Drive in Knox County. Complainant advised police that the four suspects were currently in the store attempting to remove merchandise from the store by putting it in an empty Walmart bag. Suspects then exited the store without making any attempt to pay for the merchandise. Suspects were stopped at their vehicle, a white Mazda pickup truck, in the parking lot and arrested. Loss was estimated to be about $70. Suspects’ vehicle was towed to Sutherland Avenue Towing. • Dec. 15: Police arrested an 18year-old man after a Kohl’s department store loss prevention officer observed the suspect take a black and white knit hat and conceal it under his coat. The suspect left the Farragut store without paying and got into a red Ford F-150. Officers approached the suspect and located the stolen hat under the rear seat of the truck. Value of the theft is about $25. • Dec. 13: Police were dispatched to a Somersworth Drive residence in response to a burglary call. Complainant told officers she had entered the residence and found the back door glass broken out. She exited the residence and called law enforcement. Complainant stated she saw only a few pieces of jewelry were missing. • Dec. 13: Police were called to Kohl’s department store in Farragut to arrest a 37-year-old woman who was observed concealing about $1,100 in merchandise in her purse

and in the bottom of her shopping cart and exit the store without paying. The suspect was taken into custody and her vehicle, a 2003 Dodge mini van, was towed by Sutherland Avenue Towing. • Dec. 13: Three suspects — a 21year-old man, a 33-year-old woman and a 64-year-old man — were arrested after witnesses observed the three attempt to steal about $1,200 in merchandise from Walmart off Parkside Drive in Knox County. The threesome allegedly filled two shopping carts with merchandise and made two trips to push it all out the door without paying. Suspects were stopped in their vehicle, a black Chevy Blazer, in the parking lot. The suspects were arrested and their vehicle towed to Cedar Bluff Towing. • Dec. 13: A 31-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were arrested by KCSO deputies after Kohl’s department store employees witnessed the one of the pair concealing silver jewelry in her pockets as the other served as lookout. Officers witnessed the female attempt to hide the stolen items under the front seat of her car as they approached. The search of the suspects’ vehicle also produced a glass pipe used to smoke illegal drugs. • Dec. 13: Police responded to an alarm call at JCPenney department store in Farragut. The investigating officer discovered the dock door was open and the lock was broken. A second officer arrived on scene to assist the first officer in a building search. No one was found inside the building. Upon arrival of a keyholder, surveillance tape was viewed that showed someone opening the door but not entering.

arrest since it started on Nov. 25. This incident now raises the total arrests by the Task Force to 250. It will stay in operation until after Christmas.

Trees From page 1A

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be accepting Christmas trees at our locations from Jan. 2 through Feb. 1,â&#x20AC;? said Zachary Johnson, Knox County recycling coordinator, said. The trees are then taken to Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Organics of Tennessee, LLC., a company in Knoxville that contracts with the county to shred the trees into mulch, he said. Customers can purchase the mulch from that company. Green waste, which consists of leaves, brush, logs, branches, grass and other debris, typically makes up 20 to 30 percent of the municipal solid waste stream, according to Knox County Solid Waste administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to offer this service as an organic way to dispose of trees in an environmentally friendly way,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said, Offering to take peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trees for disposal is a means to reduce green waste in the landfills. Johnson said last year, the convenience centers received a little more than 2,000 trees, which amounted to about 60,000 pounds of trees last year. In 2011, he said there were about 1,000 to 1,500 trees recycled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It [the tree recycling] seems to be increasing,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said, adding he thinks that is because of more people becoming more aware they can take their trees to the convenience centers. Knox County Solid Waste is not offering mulch pickup for residents this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the past few years, we

have just been offering a drop-off point for the trees,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. Because of its acidity, the mulch is only good for certain plants and shrubs, not so much for gardens; so there were not enough people wanting the mulch to justify the cost of producing mulch for those who asked for it, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just pay Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best to shred it at a price for the weight,â&#x20AC;? Johnson added. Last year, the county paid $437.17 to Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best for trees, he said. When dropping off Christmas trees to be recycled, Johnson asks people to remove all lights, wire, string and other ornaments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes extra manpower to take off the decorations,â&#x20AC;? he said. For more information about recycling Christmas trees, call the Knox County Solid Waste Administrative Office, 865-2155865, or call Jennifer Linginfelter, communications specialist, 865-214-4579.

To the woman waiting in line at the post office last week who lamented for more than 20 long minutes carelessly and indiscreetly about having just been fired from her job, of her drug-diverting co-workers, and her idiot boss, were the looks of shock and awe from your captive audience not apparent? Do you know what boundaries are? Manners? Courtesy? In this uncomfortable situation, you unfortunately did not. The next

time you overhear anyone question “what is the world coming to?,” pay attention because they may be talking about you. They say what goes around comes around. To you, I say that should our paths ever cross again and I find myself standing in line next to you, I can only hope it will be after I’ve just eaten an extralarge beef and bean burrito.

Everything we do is about gardening and the environment and things that are important to the members of our club about gardening.” Ford said she joined the club around 1988. “Our mission is growing and having flowers and making our environment and our community more beautiful,” she said. Elaine Clarke, brunch co-hostess, talked about what got her first interested in gardening. “I think my mother’s roses,” Clarke said. “She had rose gardens in South Florida. I grew up in South Florida, so everything I knew was all the South Florida things that are totally different. When we moved here in 1987, it was the world of perennials, and I was so excited to have iris and

It’s just a great service for Akima, and it’s a way that we can give back to the community. And we enjoy singing.”

As the Town moves mid-year into FY2014, it looks at its successes as well as its challenges in meeting goals in its strategic plan, Vision 2025. Town administrator David Smoak said the plan is reviewed and updated annually. “We will probably do it again in January or February,” Mayor Ralph McGill said. In 2011, the Board adopted the strategic plan. Its goals include maintaining a financially sound town, providing excellent services, strengthening the local economy; developing historic assets, facilitating future growth, development and redevelopment and expanding leisure amenities. Board members agreed the closing of the Russell House is one of the biggest accomplishments this year. “I think the purchase of the house ought to be way up there on the list,” McGill said. “That’s been on our strategic plan for a long time.” Alderman Jeff Elliott said the acquisition saved the house from the wrecking ball and provided the Town with the house and accompanying space. The Town closed on the purchase Nov. 7, Smoak said. The amount paid at closing was $506,742, and the total purchase price was $1.25 million. “Now that we got [the purchase] out of the way, there will be a lot of discussion on how we

municipal property tax from its citizens or businesses,” Smoak said. “The single largest source of the Town’s revenue comes from local Sales Tax, which has steadily grown with the expansion of commercial property in Farragut.” “I ran my campaign in 2003 for no Town taxes,” Alderman Dot LaMarche said. “I will always be against any town taxes.” “Given the political climate in East Tennessee, I can’t imagine a scenario that would get a distinct majority of town of Farragut residential homeowners so enthused as to take the initiative in promoting an additional Property Tax,” Elliott said. Meanwhile, the Town also faces paying back tax revenues it owes to Knox County Schools from the Liquor Tax. Smoak said the state comptroller is still reviewing the matter. “I would like to get a resolution to the Liquor Tax controversy, hopefully allowing the town of Farragut to get credit for what has been donated to Farragut schools for many years,” Elliott said. On another note, Markli said his next priority is completing the walking trails and work on the creekways while LaMarche said she would like to see the Town follow through on the community center. Smoak said he thinks the Town’s biggest priority is facilitating future growth, development and redevelopment.

proceed at this point,” McGill said. “We have a lot of work to do to bring the house up to snuff and bringing it up to the style of 1835.” In addition to the Russell House, Alderman Ron Honken said, “I think we did a great job of filling vacant buildings.” He listed Krispy Kreme and Discount Tire as two examples. In regard to maintaining a financially sound town, which includes no debts and no Property Tax, the Board continues its conservative stand. “We try to run a very lean and responsive government,” Alderman Bob Markli said. “I think the Town has been extremely successful on a pay-as-you go philosophy, and we don’t see any need to change that.” “The Board of Mayor and Aldermen continues to approve budgets that meet all of the Town’s obligations without cutting services and is fiscally conservative when estimating revenues and expenditures,” Smoak said. “We have no debt now, not in the sense of what you think of as debts from bonds,” McGill said. “In our case, we have the money [for the Russell house purchase], we are not going to pay it all at once and we’re not going to pay anyone else for it. We are just going to take it out of our budget.” “The town of Farragut has maintained this conservative approach to budgeting for almost 34 years while never issuing a

Secret Santa aids FHS needy ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Michelle Brossett and her Farragut High School Leadership Initiative class, 14 students strong this holiday season, have earned the right to permanently pilot the school’s holiday gift assistance for underprivileged FHS students, Secret Santa. “The kids did such a good job that they’ve asked us to take it over from now on,” Brossett said. Estimating that Secret Santa is helping “40 to 50” FHS students, Brossett added, “We’ve tried to give each kid between four and five gifts. “Students in the class were able to get teachers and depart-

ments to chip in,” Brossett added. “We’ve even had some of our own parents sponsor students.” Overall, “There were at least 40 to 50 sponsors,” Brossett said. “Some of the staff came together to sponsor a whole family or a group of kids together. Class members take a “Santa Wish List” filled out by the needy students and/or their families where “we ask for sizes, favorite colors, favorite sports teams” while also asking, ‘Do you need a winter jacket? Do you need shoes? Those are two things we found out last year” that students most wanted, Brossett said. “That’s what most of the kids ask for.” Other most requested gifts include “hoodies, tennis shoes,

sweaters, scarves. Your basic necessities kids use every day,” Brossett added. As for feedback of gratefulness, “Last year some of the kids left notes, just anonymous notes thanking the staff and the students,” Brossett said. “They’re all very happy to get what they get.” Secret Santa 2013 started “the week before Thanksgiving,” Brossett said. “We probably had four or five last gifts turned in today [Friday, Dec. 13].” Samantha Linkowski, senior, said Secret Santa “is a great way to give back. I know many of these kids are in need.” “Yes, Farragut is a very fortuSee SANTA on Page 9A

For the holidays, the Town Beautification Committee decorates Town Hall and presents the annual Celebrate the Season event. The committee has several overall responsibilities and goals. Marty Rodgers, chair of the Town Beautification Committee, said the committee of 10 people selects the banners in the Town that are put up seasonally. “Then periodically when they’re taken down, the Beautification Committee checks them to see if they still look good or if they’re worn and frayed and need to be replaced,” she said. The committee also conducts

the Landscape Beautification Awards in either the spring or early summer, she said. “One more thing that we’ve tried to become a little more involved in, and that’s sponsoring quarterly programs or classes at Town Hall where somebody is invited in to speak or teach on subjects that would be interesting if you were beautifying whatever, the Town or your home, like decorating, gardening, that kind of thing,” she said. “There’s a class this year scheduled for February or March about spring gardening, and [the] Beautification [Committee] sponsors that.” Most classes that the Beautification Committee would See COMMITTEE on Page 11A

Skynyrd to Chillbillies wild ride for Taylor ■

“It’s been a wild ride,” Don Taylor, 65, a Farragut area resident, a member of the local band Chillbillies and former performer with the new Lynyrd Skynyrd Band, said about his music career. Taylor has been performing

professionally since he was 13 years old. “I was always led into music because it was what I was good at,” he said. As a youth, he took lessons and played in the school band. Taylor school allowed him to play its instruments outside of school activities. “I was hired to play in this band up in Columbus, Ohio, where I

lived at that time,” he recalled. “I started playing in fraternity parties and Eagles clubs, stuff like that.” He played in bands

Taylor had some record deals with some bands, but he said nothing came of it so he picked up an accounting degree at Miami University and subsequently joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation, assigned to Chicago, Ill.

Then he heard from his childhood friend, Artimus Pyle with the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band, while Pyle was in Chicago in 1976. Pyle, a Jamestown native, and Taylor had been best friends since they were neighbors when Taylor was 10 years old. “He started talking about my See TAYLOR on Page 9A

Hooray, hooray it’s garbage day! New artificial turf field In my notorious slob days, I missed a lot, mainly because I didn’t have a calendar in plain sight. It’s one thing to miss an appointment for a haircut, because your bangs will start blocking your vision and remind you to get in immediately. I always loved the walk-in, no appointment needed places e v e n though I always came out of Pam them with a Young look I had Make it to get used to. Fun! Missing garbage day h o w e v e r, has its own special drama. I routinely missed the event and had to suffer the consequences. On the days I actually got my garbage picked up, it often involved an embarrassing dash in my night gown, passed three or four neighbor’s homes (depending on when I’d heard the hydraulic sound of the truck compacting someone else’s refuse) trying catch up with the truck before I heard another SHHHHHHH, an indication it was through and moving on. The driver knew me and my night gown sprint well, and I’m sure he missed the entertainment when I got a calendar and got organized. I know from experience having two-week-old garbage in the garage is not ideal and the garbage companies add insult to a smelly garage by charging for pick-up anyway! I’m ashamed to say that in my messy past, I got away with not paying many times by lying and saying my can was out at the curb and the garbage man missed it. For your information, I’ve now relinquished the responsibility of getting the can to its pick-up place. It’s one of the pre-nup negotiations I made with Terry my sec-

ond husband. I found out today that the disorganized can no longer lie about not taking out the can. It’s called GPS and it doesn’t stand for Garbage Pick-up Service. In this age of technology, they’re busted. When a garbage company gets a call like, “You didn’t pick up my garbage today!” All they have to do is consult with their 24-hour GPS map and the camera mounted on the truck and they can actually see that the guy’s garbage was NOT out. I’m told that the first transgression is noted and forgiven, but if the customer continually misses garbage day and tries to lie his way out of it, it won’t work and he’s going to have to pay. Now that you know you can be watched by the big garbage man in the sky, and you tend to miss garbage day, it might be time to look at garbage pick-up as a very special day. Celebrate it every week. Wake up with, “Hooray, hooray it’s garbage day” on your lips and while you’re at it, why not dress for the occasion, prepare a special meal and use the fine china? After all, garbage pick-up day is really an opportunity to put your past behind you and with an empty can, start over with a clean slate. Here are a couple of organizing tips about your garbage. Have fish the day before garbage pick-up day so any leftovers don’t get a chance to stink up your home or garage. If you have a garbage container un-der your kitchen sink, use a plastic garbage bag with a drawstring and empty it often. I love the bags Costco sells. Let emptying the garbage remind you to let go of the past and live in the freshness of now. For more from Pam Young go to www.makeitfunanditwillgetdone.c om.

Mandatory sprinkler systems considered ■ ALAN SLOAN

Would Farragut Mayor and Board of Aldermen adopt codes requiring newly constructed homes include indoor sprinkler systems? Farragut, Knox County and City of Knoxville fire authorities plus “the building community” and utility companies will meet and look to hammer out details before any politicians carry the ball on such a proposal, said Dan Johnson, town of Farragut fire marshal. Meanwhile, two prominent Farragut businessmen who build homes are on opposite sides of residential sprinkler system effectiveness in case of a fire. Noah Myers, partner with Myers Brothers Holdings, said he’s skeptical about non-manda-

tory sprinkler systems and strongly opposes any possible mandates. Bob Markli, president of Markli Construction Co., Inc. and a Town Alderman, said, “I like them, I’ve seen them in action and it’s pretty impressive.” However, Markli said he’d have to give further study to the issue of making residential sprinkler systems mandatory should it come before BOMA. Myers pointed out, “The sprinklers aren’t designed to save the structure. The sprinklers are designed to give somebody that’s inside of a house that’s on fire more time to get out. “Quite frankly, in homes the way the egress codes are required with egress windows and bedrooms where you’ve got to be able to get out of a bedroom and so forth, I think those are suffi-

cient,” Myers added. “… Of course, this is with new homes.” “And with requirements of smoke alarms and so forth, I don’t see how the cost can, at least at a minimum, equal the benefit. “All of a sudden you’re making housing that was marginally affordable even that much more unaffordable. … Two to three percent of construction costs is what I’m hearing.” As for homes within Myers Bros Holdings subdivisions where homeowners have requested indoor sprinkler installation, “I have zero,” Myers said. Markli, though, points out “the live-saving and property-saving capability that they have for a fairly modest cost. … When you look at the cost benefits ratio, it’s See SPRINKLER on Page 9A

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s according to Lynsey Flatford, family and consumer science teacher in FHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Career Technical Education wing, who teaches two 90-minute nutrition and foods classes to seniors and juniors. During a two-week span in November, 40 of those 90 minutes are dedicated to gingerbread house construction. Starting back in 2007, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know what, all the cooking skills that come in making a gingerbread houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? would apply in her class, Flatford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus, the fact that they get to take some pride in that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re raising money for the hospital, which is a big part of our community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also have a daughter with cystic fibrosis that goes to the hospital a lot, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at the hospital a lot,â&#x20AC;?

The project requires â&#x20AC;&#x153;food preparation, food presentation, leadership and teamworkâ&#x20AC;? according to Flatford. A huge creativity element went into each of the 10 gingerbread houses this year, Flatford said, each required to have a 12-by-12inch â&#x20AC;&#x153;foundation.â&#x20AC;? While in past years â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve typically just done houses,â&#x20AC;?

However, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A kid with a step ladder and a cigarette lighter could do a whole lot of damage,â&#x20AC;? Markli said. Such mischief â&#x20AC;&#x153;is definitely a thought,â&#x20AC;? Myers said, though he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have not had a history of accidental discharges with sprinkler systems in our commercial buildings.â&#x20AC;? However, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be disastrous if you did,â&#x20AC;? Myers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The water damage could do a lot more

Taylor From page 5A

playing with that band at some point if they were ever to add a horn section,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said, explaining the band uses saxophones in their music, but not while on tour. But, at the peak of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success Lynyrd Skynyrd members, Ronnie Van Zant and Steve and Cassie Gains died in an Oct. 20, 1977, airplane crash in a forest in McComb, Miss. Assistant Road Man-ager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary and copilot William Gray also perished in the crash. Band members, Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkeson, Billy Powell; backup singer Leslie Hawkins; tour manager Ron Eckerman and members of the road crew suffered serious injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were terrific injuries, broken bones, burns, but Artimus literally walked away from the crash with few injuries,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said. For Taylor, the crash had crushed his dream of being a member of the band, but not with performing with Pyle. Taylor said Pyle formed another band, which Taylor joined and played with until 1987, when Pyle moved to Israel.

However, Pyle contacted Taylor again while Taylor was working for an accounting firm in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Pyle told Taylor he was putting together a new Lynyyrd Skynyrd Band and wanted Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was supposed to be just a one-time deal, a tribute to the deceased members and crew of the original band,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went on a national tour with the band from the summer of 1987 to the end of 1987.â&#x20AC;? Afterward, Taylor got remarried to Kim, a registered nurse supervisor from Jamestown, and they started a family. He has three children, Austin Taylor, 31; stepdaughter, Heather Vines, 29, and Savannah Taylor, 20. After 1987, Taylor worked for various businesses in the finance, oil and gas business before working for the state of Tennessee. His last job, until he retired, was as a supervisor with Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary. In 1999, he joined the The Chillbillies. Taylor said he had played with band members Teddy Phillips and George Massengill in the late 1980s. He ran into Massengill at a Nashville mall, and Massengill invited Taylor to come play with The Chillbillies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working with them ever since,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Rangnekar twins earn President’s Volunteer Service Award ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Aditi Rangnekar is more athletic, while 17-year-old fraternal twin Avanti Rangnekar finds joy in fine arts. While these highly accomplished Farragut High School seniors have grown especially close by leaning on the other’s strengths — Aditi helps Avanti battle stress — they share plenty of admirable traits. Perhaps their most impressive trait, an especially passionate giving spirit, earned the twins a special honor earlier this fall: 2013 President’s Volunteer Service

Award recognizes “those who have demonstrated outstanding volunteer service and civic participation over the course of a 12-month period,” according to a PVSA press release. “Aditi and Avanti together have more than 1,600 hours during just their high school years,” the press release further stated. Central to their giving is work with Boys and Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley, Caswell Avenue, where the twins founded and organized Boys and Girls Clun Art and Sport camp in summer of 2012. Seventh-grade students at Webb School of Knoxville Middle School, “Our science teacher actually kind

of opened our eyes to a community service opportunity at the Boys and Girls Club,” Avanti said. “We had the ability to kind of connect with kids and tutor them … and help them escape their own personal stresses.” While Aditi teaches volleyball to students for three hours during her week-long camp, having been an FHS Lady Admirals player, Avanti teaches “more arts and crafts” during her three-hour, week-long camp, Aditi said. Starting out “as a once a month thing,” Avanti added that the twins’ parents also got involved, so See RANGNEKAR on Page 11A

sponsor would have “to do with decorating, landscaping, home decorating, that kind of thing,” she said. “They would relate to the intent of beautifying something, inside or outside.” The committee also may serve

in an advisory role, Rodgers said. “We serve sort of as needed, as an advisory committee for local landscaping projects of the Town like in the parks or greenways or special projects,” she said. “We don’t make those decisions, but we are sometimes asked basically for opinions and thoughts on the direction.”

King University bound

To those that serve on the committee, Town beautification is important, Rodgers said. “We believe the beautification of the Town is important to make a more welcoming invitation to people that would be considering moving to Farragut, both residential or business owners,” she said.

Rodgers credited Town staff – in particular, Arleen Higginbotham and Sue Stuhl – for their support of the Beautification Committee. She also thanked staff from Public Works and the Parks and Leisure Services departments for their help. “As most of us desire our homes to appear well cared for,

then we join together as a community in the desire that our Town looks well cared for,” Rodgers said. “... All Town residents are encouraged to visit Town parks, walking paths and the events, such as Celebrate the Season, to enjoy the beauty of our Town.”

in the department of Pathology, collecting data from breast cancer patients to aid cancer studies and prevention. Saying she’d like to combine the business and medical fields into a career, Avanti added about her breast cancer research, “I’ve been doing it the past two or three years. I’m interested in how the

environment impacts women and diseases in women. … My research kind of opened me up to people who are in isolated areas who don’t get the proper health care. “Whether it’s through yearly mobile mammogram units … My goal is to make health care as efficient and accessible as possible.”

Santa, entertainment and children’s activities drew hundreds to Celebrate the Season, a town of Farragut-sponsored event. While children visited Old Saint Nick, decorated reindeer ornaments and cookies and performed with Bearden United Methodist Church’s Children’s Handbell Choir, their parents enjoyed music from TNT Mountain Dulcimer Trio and Farragut High School Madrigal Singers. All the while, members of Farragut Beautification Committee served refreshments to the crowd during Celebrate the Season, held Thursday, Dec. 5, in the Town Hall. Aria, left, and Jay Brummerstedt

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

Nita Pettibone, owner and wellness educator with Falling in Happy LLC, brings her business to people. Pettibone said she travels to places such as daycares, schools, corporations, gyms and chiropractor offices to teach group sessions; and for personal coaching, she will meet people at their homes or wherever. “The mission of the business is to help people to feel their best,” she said. “So it’s lifestyle coaching: everything from how we eat to how we live and everything in between. So we do cooking classes and grocery store tours and overall education on wellness.” The business, based in Farragut, celebrated its first anniversary in September. “Falling in Happy is that place where you look in the mirror in the morning, and you’re happy with what you see,” she said. “... And you’re ready to start your day. Nothing can get you down when you’re happy with yourself.” The business focuses on healthier options for people, and goals are set, she said. Examples of goals include increasing energy levels, getting to and staying at their ideal weight and reducing cravings. “It’s about falling in happy with yourself, so that you’re willing to take care of your-

self,” she said. “And I help people do that. We do one-on-one personal coaching, family coaching, help with food sensitivities, group sessions, corporate wellness.” A grocery store tour involves looking for foods that fit people’s lifestyles and ideas on cooking the food, she said. Education goes from defining different vegetables to identifying ways to liven the kitchen. “A cooking class could either be group or personal,” she said. “I actually go into people’s kitchens and ... teach them how to use the appliances they have to create a variety of quick, healthy family meals.” Pettibone worked at The E.W. Scripps Company for 13 years, she said. She earned an associate’s degree in business, and she is a certified holistic health coach. At Crossfit Knoxville, she is also nutrition coach. “The idea of coaching came from helping my son through a medical problem and wanting no other parents to have to go through what I went through. ... But the idea of Falling in Happy came out of my corporate journey and seeing moms struggling on a daily basis and wanting people to understand that when they see happiness in themselves, they start changing everything around them,” she said.

Preserve at Hardin Valley celebrates grand opening

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

The Preserve at Hardin Valley, located at 2310 Yellow Birch Way, had its grand opening and open house Wednesday, Nov. 13. “We’re a new luxury apartment community,” said Tyra Tipton, business manager at The Preserve at Hardin Valley. “We just opened on Aug. 13. We are still under construction, but we will have luxury one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes. One- and two-bedroom apartments are available currently.” The first four buildings opened in phases in August, September, October and November, she said, with two more buildings to come. “We still are under construction, so we still have two buildings that are in the works,” she said at the event Nov. 13. “Those

will be available in April of next year.” The Preserve at Hardin Valley apartments are upscale, she said. “When we finish phase one, there’ll be 136 apartments available,” she said. “With and when we do phase two, we will add another 160, so in total, we’ll have 296 apartments.” The six buildings comprise phase one. Amenities include a fitness center, Internet café and saltwater swimming pool, she said. “We want people to feel like they’re at a resort,” she said. “We want them to feel comfortable when they come home, that they can relax. So that’s our goal.” Tipton called The Preserve’s location “wonderful.” Owners include Paul Murphy, Mike Murphy, Ed Campbell and Darby Campbell, Tipton said.

NRA exhibit inspires One Shot home biz opening

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

Attending the National Rifle Association Annual Meetings & Exhibits in St. Louis in 2012 inspired Sarah Scheafnocker. Scheafnocker and her husband, Caleb, own One Shot, a part-time business run out of their home in Farragut. At the convention, the culture impressed Sarah Scheafnocker. She was treated with respect, and the convention had a family atmosphere, she said. “Up until that point, I enjoyed

shooting as a sport,” she said. “... But experiencing that convention kind of spurred me to become more, more than just a regular gun owner but to get involved in training and promoting that culture in others.” One Shot, which offers gun training classes, had its first anniversary in June. “We’re pistol instructors certified by the NRA,” she said. “... We’re also certified by the NRA as range safety officers, and in addition to that, the state has certified us to do the Tennessee Handgun Safety Course, which

allows people to get their handgun carry permits. It’s a required course by the state.” The business offers three different classes, Sarah said. “The first is the NRA basic pistol course, which is a great course for people who are scared of guns or uncomfortable,” she said. “It’s an eight-hour course that really takes them from ground zero to being proficient.” She called the NRA basic pistol course their favorite course they offer. “It is because very often, we’re able to take someone who is

uncomfortable with guns or with shooting and help them to be comfortable and safe with them and feel proficient to own and operate it safely,” she said. The business does the Handgun Safety Course in Vonore, she said. Then there is a not-so-basic pistol course, she said. “That’s actually a course that my husband designed as a next step from the basic pistol course, so that course is no shooting involved but only discussion See ONE SHOT on page 2B

about mindset,” she said. “So it’s kind of a workshop about what you think about when carrying a pistol and what to shoot and not to shoot, not only legally but just being wise with how you would

conduct yourself with a pistol if you were carrying it.” Sarah and her husband also conduct private lessons, she said, and the business holds a federal firearms license. For more information on the business and what is offered, visit oneshotknoxville.com.

CROSSVILLE — Changing defenses and size, the biggest weapons used by Hardin Valley Academy boys following a successful visit to Cumberland County High School. “We switched our defenses up a little more … kept them off balance,” HVA head coach Keith Galloway said after a 73-65 win Thursday night, Dec. 19, that improved the Hawks’ record

to 8-2. “And I thought [Dyonta] Bizzle-Brown was the reason we were able to pull away,” Galloway added Hawks 73 about his 6-foot-8 Cumberland 65 junior post who scored 16 — including a pair of three-point baskets as part of “a really big fourth quarter for us.” Bizzle-Brown also grabbed seven rebounds and blocked three shots. “His length just

bothers teams so bad.” Zak Carter, HVA senior post, led all scorers with 26 while pulling down 10 rebounds. “They couldn’t really stop him the whole game,” Galloway said. Blaine Shockley, junior guard, popped in 17 for the Hawks.

KEN LAY Correspondent

Bearden High School basketball teams enjoyed some success last week. The Lady Bulldogs routed Austin-East 73-25 while the Bulldogs outlasted the Roadrunners 83-72 Thursday, Dec. 19 in East Knoxville. T h e L a d y Ladys Bulldogs 73 Bulldogs Austin-East 25 (12-1) used some hot shooting against the Lady Roadrunners. Bearden shot 53 percent from the floor in its latest win but Lady Bulldogs head coach Justin Underwood was most impressed with his defense. “We gave up 19 points in the

first have and we gave up some easy shots in the second quarter,” Underwood said. “But defensively, we played pretty well. “We’ve been concentrating on that day in and day out in practice and we forced them into several turnovers.” Bearden, which avenged its only loss of the season with a home win Bulldogs 83 against Alcoa on Austin-East 72 M o n d a y, Jan. 16, also generated plenty of offense against the Austin-East on the road. Erin Walsh led the Lady Bulldogs with 20 points after scoring 34 earlier in the week in the 60-45 victory over the Lady

Tornadoes. Bearden’s offense was more balanced at Austin-East. Madison Rice scored 16 points against the Lady Roadrunners and Lexus Norwood finished with 13 points for Bearden, which is still attempting to find its identity after reaching the Class AAA State Tournament last season. “I’m pretty happy with our progress right now but we still have a long way to go to get where we want to go,” Underwood said.

Austin Scheidt made a return to the Farragut High School hockey club’s lineup Thursday, Dec. 19, and he wasted little time making an impact for the Admirals. The defenseman, who was injured in the season opener and missed three games with a broken thumb, had a hat trick and two assists in Farragut’s 7-6 victory over the Bearden/Karns Ice

Dawgs at the Icearium. “It was great to be back and it was great to get a win,” said Scheidt, Admirals 7 who completed his Bearden/Karns 6 hat trick with the game-winning goal with 35.8 seconds remaining in the contest. “I was just in the right place at the right time but I had a couple of stupid penalties too.” See SCHEIDT on Page 5B

“I told them afterwards, ‘Maybe we need to do this all the time,’” Mayfield added. “We have a better defensive mentality when we do that.” Madison Maples, Lady Ads starting senior wing, scored 12. “With our press break and our press, they struggled on the offensive end when we pressured them more in the second half,” she said. Rebecca Jameson, senior starting post who scored five points, said she and her Lady Admirals “did really well on the offensive boards. But defensive boards, it’s always a struggle for us I think. But we shut them down on the boards in the second half.”

ANTS?

As for Farragut’s extra defensive pressure, “We knew they were a young team, and so the press might be effective. It just gives us more energy offensively,” Jameson said. About the team’s depth, Maples said, “We have a bunch of players that can come off the bench and score double digits any game.” Referring to Hudson and Burt, Mayfield said, “They had some big plays for us down the stretch. You’ve got a senior-laden team, but you can still go to sophomores down the stretch. “We don’t ever know who’s going to be the one to step up big for us,” Mayfield added. “It’s good, but it makes you worry a little bit sometimes. They’re hard to guard when they’re moving the basketball and playing.”

Farragut trailed 12-7 after one quarter before grabbing a 24-23 halftime lead. “Two games in a row now we’ve started off slow,” Mayfield said. “We had no defensive intensity and no offensive movement.” Fulton fell to 8-2. “I felt we were a step slow from normal,” Lady Falcons head coach John Fisher said. “I don’t know the reason for that. Most of the 50-50 balls went their way. They played fast. I was impressed with them. They shot the ball well in the second half. “Rebounds are where they killed us. Offensive rebounds,” Fisher added. “And we had careless turnover after careless turnover. I don’t know if it was as much the pressure was great as our decision making was bad.”

and kind of deviated from what we wanted to do.” Of Fulton’s 37 first-half points, “I’d say 20 to 25 of those were transition baskets,” Cool said. “The strength of our team is guards, but our guards didn’t get open and our point guards were stuck and we turned the ball over,” Cool added. Matt Odom, Ads senior guard who scored a team-high nine

points, said, “We definitely didn’t come out ready to execute our gameplan. And they came out ready to play, and they had a lot more intensity than we did.” However, “I feel like we’ve got a good group of seniors. We’ve been in that situation before, and we can just learn from it,” Odom added. “We’ll get better.” Guard Josh Nance led Fulton with 14 points.

Austin-East with a foot injury. Gettelfinger sustained an eye injury while in class on the day of the Hardin Valley game. Elkins was out with a hurt shoulder. “It was a good week,” BHS head coach Mark Blevins said. “Jason Smith has a foot injury, Noah has been housebound and wasn’t able to take his finals. He’ll be out for a while and Jake has a shoulder

dilemma and has only played in two games.” In the absence of those players, others have filled in nicely. Jack Graham scored 28 points at AustinEast. Sam Phillips and Austin Duncan scored 10 points each. Bearden (7-3) spent last weekend at a tournament in Myrtle Beach but results were not available at press time.

Charging hard to the basket is Brian Park, Farragut senior guard, who is looking to beat Fulton defender Darius Filer.

Wright said his team “shot a high percentage tonight, which really helped us. “We were making a few shots and keeping the defensive pressure. I think they got to pressing a little bit and struggled some offensively.” About his team’s high number

of turnovers off inbounds plays, Cool said, “We worked specifically for 20 minutes [in practice] on side out situations because I knew it was going to be tough getting the ball in. I bet we turned it over three or four times for lay-ups in that situation.”

Scheidt From page 3B

Scheidt, who led Farragut (2-21) to its first win in four games, certainly didn’t have a monopoly on committing penalties on this night. The Ice Dawgs and Ads were called for a combined 38 infractions and FHS assistant coach Jeff Lindsay (who was acting head coach because Rob Despins was visiting family in Colorado) was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct in the second period. After the game, Lindsay made no apologies for arguing with the referee. “I told him that that was the worst refereeing that I had ever seen,” Lindsay said. “That guy doesn’t try to ref the game. He tries to control the game. He called 38 penalties and he ruined a game between two good teams. “He needs to let the teams decide the game. I went to the Bearden locker room and I talked to them because this ref was so bad.” Penalties were called early and often in this game and Bearden/Karns actually scored the game’s first goal while short-

handed. Austin Bachleda, who also had a hat trick, gave the Ice Dawgs (14) a 1-0 lead with an unassisted marker with 8 minutes, 56 seconds remaining in the first period. The Admirals would answer just over two minutes later when Felix Bjurstrom scored the first of his three goals to knot the game 1-1. Scheidt and Jessica Callahan each picked up an assist on the first-period equalizer. FHS took a 2-1 lead when Gavin Gauld scored with 3:04 left in the first period. Kyle Lindsay and Brandon Timmis each were credited with an assist on the play, which concluded the scoring in the first period. Bearden/Karns evened the game at 2-2 early in the second frame when Jake Fountaine, who also had a hat trick, scored his first goal of the night just 1:36 into the stanza. The Ads regained the lead with 2:54 left in the period on a goal by Scheidt. Fountaine tied the game at 3 a short time later. The Ice Dawgs seized control of the game early in the third quarter. Bachleda gave Bearden/Karns a 4-3 lead with a goal midway

through the frame. Fountaine completed his hat trick with 5:52 left in the game. That tally, which gave the Ice Dawgs a 5-3 lead, was assisted by Jackson Finch and Tyler McFall and it seemed to seal the victory. But the Ads had other ideas. Farragut stormed back to score three goals in less than two minutes. Scheidt pulled the Admirals to within 5-4 with 2:50 left. FHS then got consecutive goals from Bjurstrom in a 29-second span. His second marker in that stint gave the Ads a 6-5 advantage with 1:25 to go. Bearden re-tied the game, 6-6, on Bachleda’s third goal with 48.4 seconds left. Scheidt then scored the gamewinner with 35.8 seconds left. “Austin Scheidt won this game for us,” said Bjurstrom, who missed a potential game-winning penalty shot Dec. 12. The game gave Farragut some sweet revenge. The Ads blew a late lead in the first meeting between the two teams and went on to lose. “The first time, we blew it against them and it feels good to come back and win one for once.”
