SERC’s Singletary offers tips for the Town ■

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen was challenged to help Farragut-named schools raise more money and given talking points to hawk to local businesses at its meeting Thursday, Feb. 14. Mike Singletary, of Farragut’s School Education Relations Committee,

called the talking points “a modest initiative on how to improve the funding of Farragut schools without further tapping into the Town treasury, so to speak.” “Great schools are great for business and for quality of life,” he added. Farragut donated $22,000 apiece to each of the Farragut-named schools, plus Hardin Valley Academy, in the last fiscal

year, as well as $10,000 each to Hardin Valley’s and Farragut High’s education foundations. “The schools, after all, are the Town’s calling card,” Singletary said. On behalf of the SERC, Singletary said the schools should be getting more support from local businesses. “The leaders of our Town are occasionally in a position to tell the schools’

story, so to speak, to businesses and industrial people, and we would like to encourage them to identify and partner with, or adopt, a Farragut school of their choice,” Singletary said. “We hope you can ask them to maintain and enhance the excellence of our schools,” he added. The talking points include the fact that financial gifts to schools often go to schools in impover-

ished communities. “I was in a civic club in West Knoxville for a number of years, and the civic club gave a large grant for three years ... to a school, but they didn’t give it in West Knoxville. They gave it to an East Knoxville school. “And when I joined a civic club in Farragut, I found roughly the same thing,” Singletary said. “I’m just thinking that the

Inaugural ‘Intro to Farragut’ draws good base

■

hbeck@farragutpress.com

A dozen people showed up for the inaugural Introduction to Farragut reception Tuesday night, Feb. 19. Most of the participants are Farragut residents, though only a few have previously been involved with Farragut committees or as volunteers. Many are new to the area and almost all cited as reasons for their interest in the class a desire to learn more about the city in which they live. “I wanted to find out everything about Farragut,” said Martha Cook, a retired schoolteacher who

moved to Farragut in March of last year. Carla Werner, who relocated to Farragut from Maryville five years ago, had similar motives. “I saw this as a way to figure out why Farragut does what it does,” she said. Neil and Sue Fischer have been Farragut residents for 13 years and said while they read names of elected officials and Town staff in the newspaper, they wanted to get to know who they were. “I’m interested in the future of Farragut and how they can build on the legacy of what’s been here,” Neil said. Sue added she wanted to

learn more about the governing process of Farragut and how duties were divided among Town departments. Carla Lyle, who has served as a volunteer with Farragut Business Alliance and the Town’s Education Relations Committee, said, “I feel there’s so much more to learn.” Her involvement planning community events for Farragut and working with the schools “has spurred my interest ... and I want to be involved,” she added. Matthew Bryan said he and his wife recently had moved to Concord Hills, where they were planning to raise a family.

businesses and people who can afford to support those, think of the Farragut schools,” he added, even though Farragut is an affluent community. Other talking points include ideas that parents who choose to live in Farragut so their children can attend local schools shop in Farragut, that

“We wanted to get plugged in ... meet some folks, learn things and get involved,” he said. Nancy Howard, a Knoxville resident, said she was taking part in the class because of her employment at Proton Therapy Center at Provision Health’s campus. “I plan for Farragut to have a presence,” for patients coming to Proton Therapy, Howard said. Town administrator David Smoak welcomed the inaugural class, which will meet once a month until July on topics including Farragut’s history, government relations, public safety, and education and economic development.

Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen denied Costco a larger sign on a small, angled wall above the store entrance during its meeting Thursday, Feb. 14, but not without dissension among Board members. “There needs to be a reasonableness in the interpretation of the ordinance,” Alderman Bob Markli said. He was the lone vote in favor of Costco’s request to change Farragut’s sign ordinance to allow wall signage at a 2.5:1 ratio of sign area to wall length, as opposed to the existing ratio of 1:1. “I notice how pusillanimous and small that sign seems,” he said. Costco was requesting the ordinance change to allow them a much larger sign on the angled wall that identifies the entrance to the store. The ordinance change would have applied to every business in Farragut, not just to Costco. “What would you say to all the other businesses who complied to the 1:1 ratio?” Mayor Ralph McGill asked Markli.

Farragut development fares well during recession

■

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

Farragut Municipal Planning Commissioners heard an annual update on development — both commercial and residential — in Farragut at its meeting Thursday, Feb. 21. “Considering the overall economy, I think Farragut has done very well,” Mark Shipley, Farragut Community Development assistant director, said. Shipley said commercial activity had dropped from its high activity before the recession, but for Farragut’s size, the Town saw a fair amount of new retailers being built. Ninety-three building permits were issued by Farragut in 2012 — a measurement of new, principal buildings that underwent construction last year. That includes Costco, Publix and Longhorn Steakhouse, among others. The majority of building permits — 84 — were for single-family, detached homes. Six building permits were for commercial or office buildings and three for institutional buildings. The total number of permits was the highest in 2012 it’s See REPORT on Page 3A

BOMA From page 1A

Alderman Jeff Elliott said Costco’s existing sign “looks fine to me.” In lieu of the small entrance sign, Costco would already be allowed a 280 square-foot sign on the building’s exterior wall facing Lovell Road, and is allowed at least two monument signs, one on Lovell and one on Kingston Pike. Costco opted for the small entrance sign over a large one on Lovell, community development director Ruth Hawk said. “Costco has other sign options available to them via our ordinance,” she added. “So they’ve got a whole lot less sign than what they would be allowed,” Markli said. He said he didn’t think a larger sign would need an ordinance amendment, arguing instead that because Costco wasn’t using its allotted sign allowances, it should be allowed a larger sign, even if it conflicts with Town ordinances. “There may need to be a little flexibility in the interpretation of this,” he said. Elliott said ordinances exist to be objective and must rely on concrete definitions. “They’ve made the choice to not have the much larger sign just a few feet away,” Alderman Ron Honken said. Under “Robert’s Rules of Order,” motions must be made in

the affirmative, so Honken moved to accept Costco’s ordinance amendment and Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche seconded. Only Markli voted in favor. The only other vote of the night also went 4 to 1, as Board members disagreed on where a private driveway would best be placed on a Smith Road property. The private residence, 531 Smith Road, needed Board approval for a driveway because Farragut classifies Smith Road as a major collector, a measure of traffic volume. The driveway would not meet ordinance requirements that driveways be located at least 200 feet from other driveways and intersections. Town staff proposed the private drive be located on the far eastern property line of the 2acre parcel, 250 feet away from Andover Boulevard and about 70 feet away from the closest driveway on the same side of the street. But the drive would be catty-cornered from a driveway across Smith Road. The homeowners wanted the drive in the middle of the property, where an existing curb cut already stands, 175 feet away from Andover and 89 feet from the other driveway. Farragut’s Board sided with the homeowners, with Elliott dissenting. “This is a no-brainer,” McGill said. “To put it where Ruth wants it, there is a sight problem” with a utility pole, he added.

• Feb. 27: Knox County Sheriff’s Office responded to a burglary in progress call at a Wagon Wheel Drive address. The suspect vehicle was described by dispatch as being a green Honda Accord with at least three occupants. Responding officer spotted a vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle on Kingston Pike near Federal Lane traveling eastbound with four occupants inside. Responding officer turned his vehicle around and began following the suspect vehicle. Meanwhile, another responding officer arrived at the burglary scene and questioned a neighbor who further described the suspect vehicle as having a primer-colored passenger door. Both officers confirmed the vehicle being followed did match the description of the suspect vehicle. The officer following the vehicle stopped the suspects in the Weigel’s Farm Store parking lot located off

North Campbell Station Road to conduct a further investigation. The driver of the vehicle confirmed she had just come from an unknown address in Farragut and gave directions to it that matched the address in which the burglary occurred. The driver provided KCSO with the telephone number of the victim who via telephone confirmed he did know all but one of the suspects, but stated none of the suspects had his permission to be in his residence or remove any property from the residence. Two of the suspects admitted to entering the residence and taking property that allegedly belong to the suspect. A K9 unit was dispatched to the scene. The K-9 officer examined the vehicle and alerted to narcotics being inside the vehicle. Upon further examination a small baggie containing a trace amount of methamphetamine was found. Two of the four suspects were arrested and the property belonging

to the victim was returned with the exception of a .38 revolver, which still is missing. Property returned included a Ruger handgun, Apple MacBook, Apple laptop computer, Apple base station, Apple TV and a toolbox with tools. • Feb. 27: A Coles Campground Road man reported to police a chop saw and a hammer saw, valued at about $1,200, went missing from the bed of his pickup truck while it was parked in front of Baymont Inn of Campbell Lakes Drive. • Feb. 23: Police responded to a Wardley Road address in response to a burglary in progress call. The victim stated the suspect attempted to kick open her front door while she was inside. Officer noted the front door was ajar and the frame was broken loose from the wall. However, the

been since 2007, up from 55 in 2011 and 46 in 2010. But it doesn’t compare to 2003, when Farragut issued 220 building permits. Other developmental indicators — including preliminary plats, final plats, concept plans, site plans, resubdivisions and rezonings — are virtually unchanged from the last two years. Ranking with 35 of these activity indicators in 2012, Farragut saw an uptick in rezonings and resubdivisions, but a slight drop in everything else. Sixteen site plans were approved, down from 19 in 2011; and one preliminary plat was approved, down from three in 2011.

Farragut’s highest number of these activity indicators came in 2005, when 65 plats, plans, rezonings and resubdivisions were approved. In other business, FMPC: • Unanimously approved a motion regarding letter of credit extensions for Brandywine at Turkey Creek, for improvements to the Fretz Road and N. Campbell Station Road intersection. Two letters of credit for that work expire this spring, and planning commissioners moved that if work to improve the road had substantially commenced by April that the letters of credit would be extended, and if work had not commenced by then, the letter of credit amounts would either be increased to $230,000 or would be cashed.

FUD moves to refinance bonds ■

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

First Utility District took the first steps Thursday, Feb. 21, to refinance about $38 million in bonds issued in 2005 and 2006. FUD would issue about $39 million this year at a 2.2 percent interest rate as an “advance refund” to pay off the previous bonds. The 2005 and 2006 bonds were issued at 4.22 percent rates. Even with the additional million borrowed, the refinancing would save the utility around $1.3 million. “Interest rates are so low right

now we’re thinking of borrowing every dollar we can,” FUD assistant manager Wayne Watson said. FUD’s three-member board unanimously approved moving forward with the bond issue with Wiley Bros. as underwriter and Bass, Berry & Sims as bond counsel. Watson said this bond issue would be slightly complicated, with a portion of the money being taxable and a portion being tax exempt. The bond issued as taxable would be the portion used to pay down about 65 percent of the 2005 bond,

which in turn was used to pay a 1997 bond. An estimated $10,800,000 of the 2013 bond issue will be taxable. In addition, the 2005 and 2006 bond issues aren’t “callable” until 2015 and 2016, respectively, meaning they can’t be paid off in full until those dates. The 2013 bond proceeds would be deposited into an escrow account and would pay off the principal and interest on both the 2005 and 2006 bonds until those “callable” dates, at which point both the previous bonds would be paid off in full.

the schools in some way. “We certainly endorse your quest to help the schools,” Mayor Ralph McGill told members of SERC who sat in the audience. that while conducting this investigation another officer attempted to catch a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta traveling on Kingston Pike near West Town Mall. The vehicle was eastbound running without lights and ignoring traffic lights. The victim and other occupants were transported to an undisclosed location for the remainder of the night.

guestview: The men and women of the Tennessee Department of Safety do an outstanding job of protecting our citizens every day. The department recently recognized several that have gone above and beyond the call of duty last year, including Nathan W. Hall, who was named Tennessee Highway Patrol 2012 Trooper of the Year. After a request for assistance from the Kingsport Police Department to join a search for a 15-year-old girl, Hall found her on a rock cliff about Bill 60-70 feet high. He Haslam scaled the Tennessee cliff while Governor talking to the girl to keep her calm. When he reached her, he handcuffed himself to her and with the help of a Kingsport Fire Department truck ladder took the girl down to safety. That is only one example of serious, decisive actions that our troopers take every day. They never know on any given day what their job might involve. That’s where training, skill, judgment and true dedication to public service are put to the test. Along with Hall’s recognition, other outstanding officers received awards including: • Sgt. Jamie Jarrett, Memphis District Trooper of the Year • Trooper Jon Judge, Lawrence-

letterstotheeditor burg District Trooper of the Year • Trooper Eric Miller, Knoxville District Trooper of the Year • Charles “Tommy” Lyles, Chattanooga District Trooper of the Year • Trooper Vincent Turocy, Nashville District Trooper of the Year • Trooper John Grinder, Nashville District Trooper of the Year • Trooper Dewaine Jennings, Cookeville District Trooper of the Year • Trooper Jason Kirk, Jackson District Trooper of the Year • Trooper Jeffrey Boyd, THP Investigative Trooper of the Year • Trooper Jeffrey Buchanan, Administrative District Trooper of the Year • Sgt. Wayne Dunkleman, Interdiction Trooper of the Year Troopers honored for DUI enforcement in their districts included Michael Cummins, Nashville; Michael Marvin, Nashville; Jonathan Street, Fall Branch; Charles “Tommy Lyles, Chattanooga; Jeffrey Appleba, Fall Branch; Charles Achinger, Nashville; Jason Kirk, Jackson; and Chad Bilbrey, Nashville. Tonya Hattaway was named Dispatcher of the Year, and other dispatcher awards went to Trina Hinchey, Knoxville; David Josh Winters, Chattanooga; Darlene Hauskins, Nashville; Tequila N. Daniels; Memphis; Rebecca Casey, Fall Branch; Cynthia Krause, Lawrenceburg; and Adam Forsythe, Jackson. Congratulations to all of these award winners. We are grateful to them and their colleagues in the Department of Safety for their willingness to serve with the mission of keeping Tennesseans safe.

townview: David Smoak In FY2013, the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen (FBMA) approved a fiscally conservative budget that maintains a high level of service while meeting financial obligations. This year’s budget includes a commitment of $2.5 million in the Capital Investment Program (CIP) that will provide important roadway improvements and updates to park infrastructure, many of which are complete or are nearing completion. Taking a conservative approach, the Town is able to pay for these projects while remaining debt free. The CIP is approved based on

its alignment with the top goals of the Strategic Plan 2025, available for review at townoffarragut.org. Following is an update on the top FY2013 CIP projects: • Everett Road/Kingston Pike Intersection Improvement This project includes widening of the bridge over Little Turkey Creek to provide a center turn lane on Kingston Pike and a traffic signal at the Kingston Pike/Everett Road intersection. Funded by State and Town funds of over $2 million, construction is expected to be complete by the end of May 2013. • Watt Road Extension/Old

Per the recent article on the economic development models between the town of Farragut and the City of Oak Ridge, there is no comparison in reality. The town of Farragut might as well as be compared in the “spirit of competition” to Hilo, Hawaii — point being is that Oak Ridge has its own internal challenges and the town of Farragut is not the cause of them. As the former vice president and later consultant to the 16county regional economic development agency and also being a branding team member who created the “Innovation Valley” brand, the town of Farragut should be supportive of regional partnership — but should save its money by not actively participating in Innovation Valley due to its economic business model does not fit the town of Farragut model or its ordinances (unless contractually those monies/investments are dedicated only towards “shared

presstalk

services / back office operations” — which are welcomed in our community). Within the State of Tennessee, the town of Farragut’s benchmarks would be those communities (towns/cities) outside of Memphis and Nashville, which we as Farragut citizens are fortunate to have our current town administrator coming from one of those “best in class” municipalities. But in the Knoxville MSA, the only “bedroom community” is the town of Farragut. The town of Farragut should just focus on its execution of its Economic Development Strategic Plan and spend more time focusing on the Kingston Pike, Dixie Lee and Outlet Drive corridors while supporting the Choto Road retail development in Knox County. Per the Kingston Pike corridor, concessions will need to be made for the “untouchable” properties in order to lure investors/entrepre-

neurs and to minimize their risk in kick-starting economic growth/revitalization of that area. Lastly, my response to the “through the lens” piece on the $40,000 being spent already to “re-do” the Grigsby Chapel “traffic calming” islands is simple. Those monies would be better spent on C-4 explosives, river rock, grass seed, and/or concrete. Point being is that upgrading and maintenance will be a “recurring expenditure/MRO” for the town of Farragut with those things. If the goal was actually traffic calming back in 2009, those islands were not the ideal solution when much cheaper, attractive and effective solutions were available. It is time to get rid of the islands or flat-line their overhead and future recurring costs. Bill Johns, MBA, MPA Farragut

• As I suspected when those stupid “Traffic Calming Islands” were installed on Grigsby Chapel Road, it would become a waste of money for the town of Farragut. We are now wasting another $40,000 on changing the plantings. I wonder how long it will be before we change the plantings again. These islands should be renamed “Traffic Crash Islands” since they have caused a number of crashes, blowned [sic] tires and bent rims. It never ceases to amaze me how government agencies can waste taxpayers’ money on ill-advised projects. • Any news about a new

Krispy Kreme opening up in the Turkey Creek area? Editor’s Note: Krispy Kreme is opening a new location in Farragut across from McDonald’s off Kingston Pike April 9. • Yeah, I was just wondering if you guys were going to change your name to the Farragut High School Press being that the only team you seem to mention in your baseball outlook was Farragut High School. Come on; give the other teams equal billing. Thank you. Editor’s Note: In our baseball preview, 11 paragraphs concentrated on Farragut High

School, 11 paragraphs were devoted to Hardin Valley Academy and 10 paragraphs covered Bearden High School. • Before Century Plaza was remodeled, I used to go there for a shoe repair guy who’s really good and also to Helen, the alterations lady. Since the remodel, they’re gone. I was wondering if anyone knows where to find them, if they’re still doing business in town now. Thanks. Editor’s Note: We don’t know and the development website doesn’t have information about former tenants. Perhaps our readers could let us know.

Stage Improvements A long-time priority on the Town’s major road program, the project will connect Watt Road to Old Stage Road. Funded by State and Town funds of approximately $2.5 million, the project has begun and is currently expected to be complete by the end of 2013. TDOT is managing the construction phase of this project. • Mayor Bob Leonard Park Parking Lot Lighting Completed in February, the Town paid just under $220,000 for the installation of 45 energy

efficient LED light poles in the three Mayor Bob Leonard Park parking lots. • Grigsby Chapel Road Island Improvements The Town accepted a $42,000 contract for the replanting of the islands along Grigsby Chapel Road. The project should be complete in March 2013. • Campbell Station Park Historical Signs Currently in the design phase, this project includes the design and installation of 11 historical signs throughout Campbell

Station Park, which will tell the history of the Farragut/Concord area from the earliest American Indian inhabitants to the founding of the Town of Farragut. The approved FY2013 budget and CIP is available at townoffarragut.org by clicking Town Approved Documents. The Town is proud of the strides made in the current fiscal year, and we look forward to working together as we plan for another outstanding year in the Town of Farragut.

FHS debuts ‘Pirates of Penzance’ March 7 ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Presenting a new challenge, opera singing, to many Admiral’s Performing Arts Company cast members in “The Pirates of Penzance,” Victoria Crawford is one performer chomping at the bit for the opening “curtain” at 7 p.m., Thursday, March 7. In her first major APAC role in Farragut High School theater, “I feel like opera’s more my strong suit, and especially being a soprano,” said Crawford, playing female lead character, Mabel. Thirty-eight FHS cast members have prepared for this four-day Gilbert & Sullivan comic opera, Thursday-Sunday, March 7-10, in FHS’s Vickie B. Wells Auditorium. “There aren’t many roles in high school theater where you get to go up to high E-flat, and ad-lib and have fun being a soprano and embracing that identity,” added Crawford, a junior. “The music was

really fun and I enjoyed singing that style, and I felt it was something I was good at compared to playing roles in past shows.” The lead role of Frederic, played by FHS junior Colby White, is released from a pirate apprenticeship, upon turning 21, and handed over to a band of tenderhearted pirates. He meets Mabel and the two fall in love. However, Frederic discovers that because he was born on Feb. 29, he only has a birthday, technically, each leap year and, because he’s considered well under age 21, must serve another 63 years as a pirate apprentice. “There is quite a bit of adjustment I had,” White said about opera. “It’s like, in Chorus I sing one way, and in this I have to change it to a different way. It does get a little higher, but I have to make it sound more manly.” See PIRATES on Page 7A

Ninety-seven percent of Wanda Lacy’s advanced placement calculus students at Farragut High School have earned college credit since 2007. That statistic, revealed during Knox County Schools’ annual

Teacher of the Year Celebration Thursday, Feb. 21, was followed with the official declaration that Lacy, connected with Knox schools for 30 years — 29 at FHS — was named KCS High School Teacher of the Year. Hearing about Lacy’s excellent reputation from other FHS students, senior Mindy Earnest said,

“That’s one of the reasons I took AP calculus. I probably would have taken it anyway, but I had heard so many good things about it. ... That she prepares you so well for the AP test in May. “She is really encouraging, and she helps you, and if you have any See TEACHER on Page 11A

Make it Fun!

Keep it a secret from those closest to you

When I got organized in the late seventies, I decided to keep my “project” a secret from my husband, kids, parents and b e s t friend. I’d read that when you want to make a transit i o n a l Pam change in your life, Young Make it keep it to yourself Fun! and wait f o r “them” to come to you and say, “What’s happened to you?” or ”You seem happier and you’re always on time lately, what’s up?” What I discovered by keeping my mouth shut on my plans was I had more energy! There was a certain excitement in “my secret.” Also, those closest to us have heard us talk about needing to change, wanting to change and planning to change, so to make a

chronic announcement, “This year, I’m going to get organized,” “lose weight” or “budget and get out of debt,” your friends and family are liable to say, “Yeah, sure Mable, what’s new?” I also think there is power in sharing your intentions with those who have the same goal. I’m so thankful for the platform I’ve created on the internet so we can help each other and share our triumphs as well as our failings. I’m just talking about keeping it a secret from our loved ones, until they start seeing results. I was married to a very critical person and my disorganization affected our marriage and made it worse. As I got control of my routines and changed some very bad habits, my house was turned into a home. But the criticism didn’t stop. In fact his criticism began to stick out like a pimple on Gwyneth Paltrow’s nose. It made me know we have to change for ourselves and only for ourselves. It’s enlightened selfishness. When I decided to lose 35 pounds and document my jour-

However, “This group of students that we have right now, they’re funny and they have fantastic voices, so the show fit them very well.” One twist on Gilbert & Sullivan’s version: “the pirates are ’70s rock stars and the daughters [wear] kind of school girl uniforms,” Crutcher said. “The scale of it: the scale of the music, the set, the costumes and the number of students involved is going to be engaging for the audience,” Crutcher added. “Everything about it is big.”

I definitely feel I’m more connected with the voice of the character.” Showtimes are 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 3 p.m., Sunday.

ney in The Mouth Trap: the butt stops here!, I kept it a secret from my friends and family for three months. Since I’m the one who cooks our meals and sets the table, I wanted to see how long it would take Terry (my second husband with not a critical bone in his body) to notice. He never noticed because non-critical people don’t notice much. I wanted to see how long it would take before he did. Curiosity has energy! Nelly, my inner child loved keeping the secret! We began to bond in a way I hadn’t counted on, because we discovered no one really cares about what we do until it affects them in a negative way! So we teamed up as best friends with our secret that nobody knew. I lost 17 pounds before Terry ever noticed! Of course when he did, Nelly had to open her big mouth and tell him how we knew

he wouldn’t notice and that all he thinks about is HIMSELF! He didn’t like those words one bit, but in a very sweet voice he said, “It’s like when you have kids and they change so slowly you don’t notice because you see them every day.” I apologized for my selfish judgment, but that judgment gave Nelly and me such energy keeping it a secret. If you are serious about changing, try keeping it a secret between you and your inner child. You’ll be amazed at your new energy level.

Harrison Crawford, right, prepares to spell the requested word during a late round, as one of two remaining contestants, of annual Farragut Middle School spelling bee Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 29. Harrison’s opponent, Will Thorley, waits his turn in the background.

Thorley wins FMS spelling bee ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Will Thorley’s spelling ability was discovered at age 5. “It was ‘prognosticator’ ... it was a headline in the newspaper” according to his mother, Nicole Thorley. “He spelled it back to me.” Meanwhile, Harrison Crawford “loves to read” to such an extent that “he finished all the Harry Potter [books] before he was seven years old,” said his mother, Linda Crawford. A Will versus Harrison showdown, as the final two in Farragut Middle School’s annual spelling bee Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 29, apparently ended when Will correctly spelled “salvageable.” However, while Will, an FMS sixth-grader, was celebrating what appeared to be his third straight Farragut schools spelling bee championship with family members — the last standing among 37 FMS contestants — the fun suddenly stopped. Harrison, an FMS seventhgrader, had successfully protested his elimination: Rich Fulford, FMS assistant principal and event emcee, incorrectly pronounced “futilitarian,” the word

Harrison misspelled. “He challenged it, and we had to go back,” said Fulford, who was joined in the decision by event sponsor Leann Trotter, FMS sixth-grade reading teacher, and event judges Andrea Young and Brittany Witte, both FMS librarians. “This is the first time I’ve seen this happen,” Young said. The Will versus Harrison showdown of 12-year-olds, in FMS’s studio theater, would continue longer than originally imagined: after several overtime rounds in this unprecedented FMS spelling bee contest without deciding a winner, Fulford asked that the plugged be pulled. Temporarily. “I want to work on my pronunciation of these words,” Fulford said, requesting the pair finish the contest Wednesday morning, Jan. 30. Will finally won after correctly spelling “Synoptophore,” leaving Harrison as region alternate. “I have won two other spelling bees in my fourth- and fifth-grade years,” said Will, also supported by father, Dale, and little sister, Jenna. “Just practice, that’s all it takes. It’s a fun thing to do. It’s just a hobby that I love to do. See BEE on Page 12A

Back row, from left, are Anna Taylor, Miles McFerran, Shane Embury, Diba Seddighi and Jessie Li.

It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be considered embarrassing if a team entirely comprised of sixth-graders, in any competition, were to finish last against rival schools using seventh- and eighth-graders. However, Farragut Middle Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team 2 Science Bowl team, led by captain Will Hong and fellow FMS sixth-graders Anna Taylor, Miles McFerran and Shane Embury, captured fourthplace among 12 middle schools during Third Annual U.S. Department of Energyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Tennessee Middle School Science Bowl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty good that a bunch of sixth-graders came in on the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracket â&#x20AC;Ś playing against sixth, seventh and eighth grades,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Sue Pruitt, FMS sixth-grade science teacher and team coach. Described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast-paced question-and-answer format similar to Jeopardy,â&#x20AC;? DOE Science Bowl was held at Oak Ridge campus of Roane State Community College, Saturday, Feb. 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making it into the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracket, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only done that one other time,â&#x20AC;? Pruitt said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the only Knox County school that finished that high.â&#x20AC;? Will said his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finish â&#x20AC;&#x153;was OK,â&#x20AC;? adding the competition was â&#x20AC;&#x153;easier than I thought. I was expecting, like, high school questions and stuff like that.â&#x20AC;? However, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because you have a certain amount of time before you can answer, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under pressure; some of the math questions got hard,â&#x20AC;? Will added. Contestants on each four-child team tried to buzz-in first with the correct answer. Wrong answers resulted in score deductions. See BOWL on Page 12A

FMS chorus performs ‘Dig It’ These Farragut Middle School Sixth Grade Chorus dancers perform during “Greece is the Word,” part of Sixth Grade Chorus’s “Dig It” program of historic tributes to cultures in song, dance and sketches.

men’s ministries. “The church here has done a wonderful job trying to look at the culture and being relevant, but staying true to the scriptures,” Hammond said. But churches are seeing many young adults either leaving or not attending church. “I see a huge need of reaching my generation, and I think there are a number of reasons why they’re leaving,” he added. According to Hammond, a good way to reach the millennial generation is to have a message of grace that still shows authenticity and the truth of the Bible. “Christ Covenant has done a great job because they have a message of grace and love, but they have the full text as well, they really get into the word of God and say this is the authority,” Hammond said. “People are longing for the truth, even though they’re bombarded with so much information, they need the truth, and they need relationships. A key word among our generation is authenticity, and they want you to be transparent and real. “The church is a great place for broken people to come together and grow and heal,” Hammond

said. The first class of Hammond’s new young adult ministry, The Network, was held Sunday, March 3, on the topic “You Lost Me — Why Young Adults Aren’t Coming to Church and Why They Are Leaving.” “I’m excited about being part of this generation, and I see hope,” he said. Hammond also will head up the men’s ministry, which he said “has always been my heart.” “I think when you reach the men, often you reach the whole family in many ways, because men are loving their wives and loving their children,” he said. According to Hammond, Christ Covenant also will begin times of service on Saturdays through a partnership with Operation Inasmuch, which unites church bodies around cities to serve areas of the city. “Service is key,” Hammond said. Hammond is a graduate of Bearden High School, The University of Tennessee Chattanooga and Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando. He previously held a variety of pastoral positions, including executive pastor, at University Presbyterian Church in Orlando.

questions you can feel free to ask at any point,” Earnest added. Founder of FHS Math academy who, during the ceremony, was given credit for helping students set up mentorships with “ORNL, Alcoa Aluminum and The University of Tennessee,” Lacy had another of her AP calculus students speak out in praise. “I feel like she really enjoys teaching. It seems like she really likes calculus,” said Carter Chain, a senior. “She likes making other people like calculus. It’s just really easy to learn in her class. She seems really enthusiastic about everything. “I know I’ve gone in after class and asked her for help and talked to her about things,” Chain added. “If you need help, she’s available after school every day to help. And before tests, that’s really helpful. “She’s easy to approach; she’s just a really good teacher. It seems like everyone likes her, really, they all enjoy her class and say she’s really nice.” Moreover, “She integrates ways to assist The Love Kitchen and Second Harvest Food Bank into her classes. Matter of fact, her

2007 class holds the school record by collecting 13,539 cans of food for Second Harvest,” it was announced at the ceremony, held in Crowne Plaza Knoxville hotel, downtown. “I absolutely love teaching mathematics, and I love teaching my students. I wake up every morning and I’m not going to work, I’m going to school,” Lacy said, adding she was “quite surprised” for being chosen. “It was an honor to be in such a distinguished group of Knox County teachers.” Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., KCS superintendent, praised Lacy and fellow honorees Kitty Menhinick, special education teacher at A. L. Lotts Elementary, and Beth Barlow, seventh-grade reading teacher at Holston Middle School. “When I look around the room, one thing that has remained consistent is the high quality of instruction our children receive everyday from each of you and your colleagues,” McIntyre said. “While I cannot say it enough. ... thank you for your dedication to our children and for your role in providing them the skills that will make them successful for a lifetime.”

“I had always been, like, pretty grammatically correct,” he added. A straight-A student taking honors classes, Will said earning his way to Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. “Is a goal that I would love to do.” To reach nationals means winning News Sentinel Southern Appalachia Regional Spelling Bee, grades 3-to-8, among an East Tennessee and southwest

Bowl From page 9A

Miles said his first-ever DOE bowl “was hard at first, but as it went on through the day it got easier. “And then pressure came back when we went into the playoffs,” he added. “It was off-and-on pretty hard, sometimes it was easier, but it was fun. I liked it.” Will said his team “won three rounds,” beating Maryville Jr. High, a Cedar Springs Homeschool team and Halls Middle School. Nine FMS sixth-graders were chosen before being divided into two teams.

Virginia field. This regional Bee starts at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, March 16, in Alumni Memorial Building (Cox Auditorium), The University of Tennessee Knoxville campus. As a fourth-grader in 2011, Will finished in the top 30 at UT against fifth-through-eighth grade regional competition. Harrison, an excellent FMS student also supported by father, David, and older sister, Victoria, “Has done well in spelling bees before,” his mother said.

With math questions also part of the competition, “These are the top students in science and math,” Pruit said, adding that choices were based upon “math teacher and science teacher recommendations.” FMS’s Team 1 was comprised of captain Erika Yang and fellow sixth-graders Zirui Zhou, Melanie Moczadlo, Diba Seddighi and Jessie Li. “It was exciting and it was hard, some of the questions were easy and some were hard,” Erika said about her first DOE competition. Looking ahead, “My goal for that is to use the same kids for the next two years,” Pruitt said.

Kroger ... in churches, in stores, the kids come up to me and say, ‘You’re the opera guy. Thank you. I love that program that you did,’” Salesky said prior to a We d n e s d a y morning, Feb. 27 Salesky “Cinderella” performance in Farragut Middle School’s packed Bob Henry Gymnasium.

Miniature opera performances to inspire school children and their parents are something Maestro Brian Salesky, Knoxville Opera executive director, takes quite seriously. With last year’s inaugural Knoxville Opera In-School performances of “Romeo & Juliet” considered a huge success across Knox County according to Salesky, 2013 brings “Cinderella.” “Almost everywhere I go in Knoxville, if I’m shopping at

Opera From page 12A

Alan Sloan/farragutpress

Jennifer D’Agostino as Cinderella and Logan Rucker as the Prince during Knoxville Opera’s In-School, condensed version of “Cinderella.”

Intermediate School Monday morning, Feb. 25. Deborah Moore, FMS chorus teacher, announced before the performance, “I know that you will be just thoroughly intrigued with what you are about to see.” With Salesky providing narration and pianist accompaniment to the four acts, this “reduced version” of “Cinderella” — with various pieces of scenery also used — is roughly half the length of the two-and-one-half hour version upcoming in Tennessee Theater beginning Friday, April 26. “This a unique opportunity for

the students to have a taste of live opera, which they normally don’t get, certainly not in a school setting,” Salesky said. “Not many parents ever bring their children to a live opera at the Tennessee Theater, either. “And because we do a reduced version of the full opera, that we’re then going to perform at the Tennessee, it inspires many of the students and the parents who know about their children’s experience here, to then take them to the theater and show them the magic of the whole production,” he added. “When the curtain goes up, you have that enormous set and the magnificent costumes, and the orchestra’s there.”

For all Knoxville Opera performances, “We always do a student dress rehearsal, which is open, for free, to students on the Wednesday night [6:30 p.m.] before our Friday opening performance,” Salesky said. Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., Knox County Schools superintendent, “was instrumental in making sure that the principals knew that he felt that this was a program that was of value to his students,” Salesky said. “Therefore, with his blessing, it became easier for us to schedule these performances.” Salesky emphasized that Knoxville Opera also has offered “Opera 101,” an introductory class for willing students, “the past six years.”

West Knox Chiropractic marks 25 years ■

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

Dr. Alan Lensgraf is celebrating 25 years of West Knox Chiropractic doing business in Farragut, as well as commemorating more than 90 years of family legacy. “I guess our family history makes us unique,” Lensgraf said. Lensgraf is the 22nd chiropractor in his family in the third generation. His grandfather and all eight of his siblings became chiropractors beginning in 1922, and Lensgraf’s own interest in the profession started with a challenge from his father. “He just looked at me one day and goes, ‘I just don’t think you’re the scholastic type.’ So from that

day forward, I said, ‘Oh really? Then watch this,’ and I never stopped from that day forward,” Lensgraf said. “We have two in school right now to be chiropractors that will be the fourth generation. That’s the largest chiropractic family in the world. We’re a piece of history,” he added. Lensgraf estimated he’s performed between 150,000 and 175,000 adjustments — nearly 6,000 a year — since he opened his office at the corner of Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road in 1988. According to Lensgraf, West Knox Chiropractic treats neck and back pain and headaches, but also focuses on wellness care, “not only with chiropractic but

also nutritional counseling and exercise counseling. “We’re pretty big on that,” he added. Massage therapy also is available on site. West Knox Chiropractic also offers state-of-the-art techniques such as disc decompression therapy, Lensgraf said. According to Lensgraf, his office’s focus is on stabilizing patients with issues and seeing them as needed, not keeping them for treatment in perpetuity. “I guess some of the misconceptions are that sometimes people think if you go to a chiropractor, you always go to a chiropractor. That’s not necessarily true. We’ve seen a lot of patients over the years, and sometimes they

return if there’s a problem. “But we’re more focused on getting that person structurally stable and then seeing them as needed. “If we accept you as a patient, there’s a high probability of you getting better,” he added. Chiropractic care is painless and effective, Lensgraf said, as long as the problem is within the chiropractic scope. “There are some people we have to refer on. “I’m one of a few chiropractors that’s had two back surgeries. I get it. I definitely talk to my patients about it, because I connect with them,” he added. Lensgraf graduated from See ANNIVERSARY on Page 2B

Valerie Guess has closed her Farragut Val’s Boutique location and has reopened the spot as a new concept, Weiss Baby. “There’s such a need for a baby store on the west side of town,” Guess said. Weiss Baby is named for Guess’s maiden name, Weissinger. The boutique shop will carry baby clothing, accessories, room décor, books and toys, as well as offer custom art framing, monogramming and

A close look at Farragut, Hardin Valley Academy, Bearden teams

■

KEN LAY Correspondent

It’s no secret that West Knox County is home to three powerhouse boys soccer programs as Farragut, Bearden and Hardin Valley Academy all will look to be in the mix for a Class AAA state championship in 2013. “The road for a big school state title goes through West [Knox County],” Admirals head coach Wallie Culbreth said. Farragut will look to return to the state tournament this season. Meanwhile, the 2011 state champion Hawks will look to make another deep playoff run and win the District 3-AAA title for a final time before departing to join the Bulldogs and the Ads in District 4 in 2014. Bearden, which was eliminated in the state semifinals last season, will have several new faces in 2013. FHS was eliminated by the Bulldogs in the District 4-AAA Tournament semifinals last year and the Admirals will look to return to prominence this season. Farragut was the top seed in last year’s tournament after going undefeated in regular-season league games. The Admirals will be a young team this season, but that doesn’t dampen Culbreth’s enthusiasm. “I’ve got some eager players who want to be a memory at Farragut High School,” he said. “They’re very focused and aggressive. “I really have a great feeling about this team.” Top returners for the Admirals include: Fletcher Eckern (junior, midfielder); Nathan Koepfer (junior, defender); Connor

McLean (senior, defender); Kai Miettinen (junior, forward); Ethan Snow (sophomore, midfielder); Justin Lomax (senior, midfielder); Emilio Moore (senior, midfielder); Tyler Klarner (junior, defender) and Marvin Mendy (junior, forward).

Key newcomers include Gus Green (a senior goalkeeper who earned the starting job despite being a first-year soccer player) and Alex Schutt, a versatile freshman who can play either at forward or in the midfield. Green will replace last year’s

goalkeeping tandem of Dillon Languth and Brad Timmis, who both graduated last spring. He got the job by beating a pair of more experienced netminders. “Gus is a senior but he’s never played soccer before,” Culbreth said. “He’s just a natural athlete.” Green is only part of the youth movement at Farragut this season. “One of our strengths is youth,” Culbreth said. “But our biggest strength is also our biggest weakness. “I have a great feeling about this team because they’re so young. I have eager beavers and I have so many young [players] that I can mold them into a Farragut team. They’re ready to play.” Lomax noted that the new players have fit in nicely during preseason workouts. “We definitely lost a lot of talent last year but our young talent has impressed me,” he said. “We [the veteran players] need to lead by example. The younger players don’t know the disappointment of a loss and we need to help them make sure that it stays that way. “We have a chemistry that is better than I could have hoped and we look the best that we’ve ever looked since I’ve been on varsity.” Moore is also relishing the opportunity to lead. “Our plan is to make it to the state this year,” he said. “Our junior class is really good. We’ll be good because we have a lot of younger kids. “The seniors will have to lead See SOCCER on page 4B

and I’m looking forward to helping the younger players.” Meanwhile at Hardin Valley, expectations are again high. The Hawks, who won a state title in 2011, reached the sectionals last season. Fifth-year head coach Mike McLean is looking to leave District 3-AAA on a high note. “I’m looking to be back in the mix,” McLean said. “We would like to win the district title and go out on top. “I would like to be among the most competitive teams in our area.” While the Admirals and Bulldogs look to rebuild a bit, the Hawks will have no such problem. The majority of Hardin Valley’s players have varsity experience. Top returners include: Chris Gallaher (senior, forward); Jeff Lohman (junior, midfielder); Ethan Haskell (senior, midfielder); Andrew Meek (junior, goalkeeper) and Logan Kington (sophomore, midfielder). HVA also has a pair of incoming freshman looking to make an early impact in defender Jacob Hellerbride and goalkeeper Jeremy Wise. Haskell is hoping that the Hawks have all the ingredients to make another deep postseason run. “We’re looking for a promising year,” he said. “This team seems promising. “Our young talent is going to be key. We have a lot of sophomores who are going to step up and we’re all looking forward to playing in coach McLean’s system.” If Hardin Valley is to reach its goals it will do so as a complete unit. “I think we’ll possess the ball better but we’ll have to score by committee,” McLean said. “We’ll have to defend as a unit.” Haskell agreed. “We’re optimistic and teamwork is going to be important.” At Bearden, the Bulldogs will look to rebuild in 2013, but longtime head coach Eric Turner isn’t looking for excuses as his young

squad looks to answer early questions. “I don’t like to use the word ‘rebuild,’” Turner said. “We’re Bearden High School soccer and our goal is always to reach the state tournament and win a state championship. “No one else cares that we have a young team.” The Bulldogs again will play one of Tennessee’s toughest schedules. Bearden will open with Hardin Valley. The Bulldogs then play Kingsport DobynsBennett, Franklin and McMinn County before opening district play against Knoxville Catholic. “We’ll find out what we’ve got in a hurry,” Turner said. Bearden went 16-4-6 last season, but the Bulldogs must find roles for new players. “Right now, we’re just trying to figure out who’s playing where,” Turner said. “I’ve seen good things in practice but I’ve also seen some things that have me a little concerned. “We still have some young guys competing for spots. I don’t know what our strengths are at this point, but our weaknesses will be depth and inexperience. Our young guys have looked good in practice but you never really know what they’re going to do until they’re put under fire.” Top returners include: Hayden

Wells (senior, midfielder and captain); Brent Seltzer (senior, forward and captain); Jake Goodman (senior, forward) and Hunter Hall (junior, midfielder). While Turner is apprehensive, his players are eager and share his high expectations. “We have such a young team,” said Seltzer, who will miss the first few games due to a broken nose. “But we have a ton of great new talent. Our seniors are stepping up and that’s helpful. I’m hoping to be back by March 19 when we play McMinn County.” Wells said, “We’re young but I think that’s a good thing. We have to stick together. It’s going to be tough for us but we can’t give up.”

JOHNSON CITY — For the third consecutive year the Farragut High School girls basketball team saw its season come to an end at Science Hill. This time the Lady Admirals dropped a 68-60 decision to the Lady Hilltoppers Saturday night in a Section 1-AAA game in upper E a s t Lady Hilltoppers 68 Tennessee. Lady Admirals 60 “I hate it for the girls because we didn’t make it to state,” FHS first-year coach Jason Mayfield said. “I hate it for them because we didn’t meet our goal.” The season-ending loss might have stung the Lady Ads (28-5) but it didn’t tarnish another stellar season that saw Farragut reach the sectional round for a third consecutive year. “I told the girls, especially the seniors, to hold their heads high,” Mayfield said. “We may not have made it to state but we did some things that no Farragut High School girls basketball team has ever done. “I think 28 games is the most that any team has won here and the girls made it to this point for the third year in a row. That’s something that’s only been done

by the Science Hills, the Riverdales and some of those Greeneville teams back in the day.” A slow start plagued the Lady Admirals early. Farragut fell behind 13-6 by the end of the first quarter. Science Hill extended its lead to 21-9 before the Lady Ads finally got rolling. Early foul trouble plagued Farragut senior point guard Whitney Smith and FHS junior forward Rebecca Jameson. “Becca and Whitney got in foul trouble early,” Mayfield said. “Whitney was in foul trouble the whole game.” Foul trouble or not, the Lady Ads kept chipping away and pulled to within 31-27 by halftime. Jameson scored 10 of her 14 points before halftime and Madison Maples scored eight points in the first half to keep FHS within striking distance. The Lady Ads continued to battle in the third quarter as senior Madison Blevins scored 13 of her team-high 24 points in the frame. She closed out her high school career on a high note as she grabbed six rebounds and dished out four assists. Farragut kept things close and trailed 51-47 early in the fourth quarter before the Lady Hilltoppers made some clutch shots to put the game away.
