‘Art in the Park’ promises new sights ■
HEATHER BECK Special to farragutpress
This year’s Art in the Park weekend promises new sights for visitors to Farragut’s parks during the two-day event, which will feature both painters and photographers creating art on-site. “And we have really revved up the kids’ activities this year. We’re going to have almost a miniature kids’ Art in the Park during the event,” said Allison Sousa, executive director of Farragut Business Alliance,
which puts on the event. The third annual Art in the Park, presented by TDS, will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, April 2021, at various Farragut parks and area locations: Anchor Park, Campbell Station Park, Mayor Bob Leonard Park, McFee Park, Farragut Memorial at Town Hall, Berkeley Park subdivision, Bridgemore subdivision, the old Hackney Mill and in Old Concord. Art in the Park is a Dogwood Arts Festival event, and is free
and open to the public. New to the event this year is the addition of photographers, who will join painters to create art in the parks during the plein air weekend. Visitors to the parks can watch painters and photographers create on the spot outdoors, or “in the open air.” Sousa said additional activities would be available for children from 1 to 3 p.m., Saturday, April 20, at Campbell Station Park. “We’ll have Gyotaku fish prints
and mini Monets, the Tuffula trees from Dr. Seuss books and bug art,” Sousa said. “And The Amazing Jolie, a silks acrobat, will be performing 20 feet above the park during the kids’ activities,” she added. Art in the Park will culminate in a reception and gallery sale at 7 p.m., Monday, April 29, at The Gallery at Renaissance | Farragut, 12572 Kingston Pike. Artists are permitted to submit up to two works of art from the Art in the Park weekend, as well as a gallery piece, all of
which will be for sale. Hors d’oeuvres will be served and wine will be available for $3 per glass. This event also is open to the public. Judges from The University of Tennessee School of Art will award prizes for Best of Show, first place and second place in both painting and photography categories. Each of the awards includes a cash prize. Additionally, Seasons Café chef and owner Deron Little will See ART on Page 2A

HEATHER BECK Special to farragutpress
Budget projections for the new fiscal year that begins in July seem on par with previous years’ numbers, including a projected $8,125,547 in revenues and estimated $6,165,100 in expenditures. One big difference in the budget, discussed during a workshop with Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen Thursday, March 14, is local Sales Tax. And it’s all due to Costco. In 2012, Farragut’s Sales Tax receipts in December were $519,516 without Costco budgeted in, reflecting a drop from $525,365 the same month the previous year. With Costco, the numbers for

It was a promise made in memory of Brooke Culbreth, as Farragut High School boys soccer players were especially eager to win a Class AAA state championship in 2007. “I don’t think there was ever a more dedicated person to a sports team than my daughter was to those boys,” said FHS boys soccer head coach Wallie Culbreth about his daughter, team manager during her years as an FHS student, who died of heart-related problems in fall 2006. Brooke was only 18. Known as a kind, generous young woman well beyond the
soccer field, Brooke lives on during an annual mid-April afternoon of alumni soccer played in her honor: Seventh Annual Brooke Culbreth Memorial Alumni Games (odd versus even graduation years) is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m., Saturday, April 20, at Farragut High School Stadium Field. “The year she died, all the [team’s] seniors went with me to her grave. We held hands around her grave and prayed. Every player opened up and prayed. And they promised her right there that they’d win the state championship,” an emotional Culbreth said. Despite having “the worst season I’ve ever had as a coach” in
terms of losses, Culbreth’s Admirals edged Bearden 5-4 to win the 2007 state title in Murfreesboro. “We left Murfreesboro and drove the bus to the graveyard … we all walked down there and hung her [state championship] medal on the cross and we prayed again. They said, ‘Brooke, we delivered for you just like you always delivered for us,’” Culbreth said while fighting back tears. “Some of the younger kids who didn’t know her were crying because the older kids were. “She loved those boys so much that she never missed a practice See BROOKE on Page 3A
last December jump to $597,340. “Our revenues were down 2.1 percent. Add Costco in, and our revenues are up 4 percent,” Town administrator David Smoak told the Board. The Sales Tax numbers were calculated without Costco accidentally, because Costco incorrectly listed its location on Sales Tax forms with the state — saying they were in Knox County rather than Farragut. “Wrong, wrong, wrong,” Alderman Bob Markli said. “They’re a huge corporation and they have people in Seattle, Wash., doing their bookkeeping. The important thing is, we did catch it,” Smoak said. Farragut’s second-highest revSee TAX on Page 2A
BOMA waives Eagle Scout’s fee ■
HEATHER BECK Special to farragutpress
Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen gave a break to an Eagle Scout looking to build a community garden and shed at his church during their meeting Thursday night, March 14. Michael Larson’s Eagle Scout project at First Farragut United Methodist Church includes construction of a garden shed large enough to require submission of a site plan to the Town. Farragut administrator David Smoak asked the Board members if they would be willing to waive the $100 fee for Scout Michael Larson. “I would be most happy to make that a motion that we do that,” Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche
said, making the motion that Alderman Ron Honken would second. The motion was unanimously approved. In other business, the Board approved a trio of business items related to a trust retirement plan being set up for five employees at Town Hall. When Farragut’s elected officials approved a new retirement plan last year, they adopted a Social Security plan, 401(k) and two lump sum 401(k) deposits for employees based upon longevity with the Town. Eleven employees were allowed to make the choice of whether they wanted a lump sum payment or a monthly benefit. Five of those employees opted See SCOUT on Page 4A

enue stream is from state-shared Sales Tax; the Town estimates it will receive about $106.30 per capita. Farragut has a population of 20,676, according to the 2010 census. Hall Income Tax revenues are expected to continue to fall to an estimated $329,515 next fiscal year. “You’ll probably see this fund continue to dwindle over the years,” Smoak said, as state legislators take steps to slowly phase out the tax. Other Farragut revenue sources include wholesale beer, liquor and mixed drink taxes;

Finally, a Steve Black Memorial Award and Steve Black Introspective will be part of the exhibit, honoring Black, who was foundational in building Art in the Park and who passed away last year. Black’s wife, Frankie, will receive a commemorative gift at the reception in his honor. Artists confirmed to participate in Art in the Park include Sandra Abraham, Mike C.

intergovernmental fees; building permits and licenses; rent and miscellaneous revenues, and recreation fees. Smoak said the Town’s traffic enforcement program, which made about $250,000 when it was first introduced, is now making about $50,000 — only slightly more than the cost to operate it. “It is paying for itself right now and it has been a good program for safety,” Smoak said. The contract for the red light camera system ends in winter 2014. Estimated expenditures for Farragut largely are tied up in personnel costs — 62 percent of the estimated $6,165,100. The other percentage goes to operatElizabeth Kidder, Ellie Kittrell, Marie Miller, Joe Parrott, Victoria Pearmain, Hanna Reeves, Karen Reeves, George Rothery, Marcia Shelly, Cheryl Tarrant, Garry Taylor, Dan Thurman, Janet Weaver, Janice Wilkey and Robert Wilson. Art in the Park is a Farragut Business Alliance event through partnership with town of Farragut.

ing costs. About 71 percent of personnel costs are set aside for salary and 29 percent for benefits. According to Smoak, the estimated expenditures for this year assume each department head received each budget request they submitted and also includes school grants at the same level as last year: $22,500 each for Farragut Primary, Intermediate, Middle and High schools and for Hardin Valley Academy. The expenditures don’t include any new hires, merit raises for current employees or community grants. “So a lot of these numbers are going to change as we go through the next couple of months,” Smoak said. Alderman Ron Honken said
policereports • March 25: Knox County Sheriff’s Office investigated a burglary at an Admiral Road residence. The residents advised police they left the residence at about 5 p.m. and returned about three hours later to discover the front door to the residence had been pried open. Two jewelry boxes that were kept in the upper master bedroom were reported missing. Loss was estimated at more than $5,000. Officers were sent out to take photographs and gather fingerprints.
Victims have no suspects. • March 22: An Inglecrest Lane woman reported to police she was at Kroger Marketplace off Brooklawn Street and left her wallet in a buggy outside. Later that night she returned to Kroger to look for the wallet and discovered it had been turned in to the store. She advised police all the cash was gone and that she attempted to work it out with store personnel but they wouldn’t help her. Allegedly missing was $300 in cash.
the Board should keep in mind that Farragut would not always be able to subsist on Sales Tax revenues alone, nor would it always be debt-free. “I worry sometimes people think we will always be in this position. It will become more challenging,” Honken said.

Thinking outside the classroom: new FHS space to promote outdoor learning
■
STEPHANIE EDWARDS Correspondent
A concept approved during the March 28 meeting of the Board of the Mayor and Aldermen looks to take learning to the great outdoors. During the meeting, the BOMA approved the hiring of McGill Associates, PA, to design an outdoor classroom at Farragut High School, near the school’s entrance at 220 Campbell Station Road. Mayor Ralph McGill joked that

in four years,” Culbreth added. “I really think my kids were motivated a lot of times, in tough situations, because they didn’t want to let her down. … That’s something they told me.” Women’s alumni game is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. Men’s alumni game follows around 4:30 p.m. An alumni dinner, in FHS Commons, begins at roughly 6 p.m. Public is invited to dinner for a ticket price of $15, which includes admission into both alumni games. A ticket to alumni games only is $5. All tickets can be purchased at gate before the first game. Proceeds benefit “basic financial needs of the Farragut soccer complex,” Eric Coffey, event coordinator, said.
the owner of the firm is no relation to him. The space will include water quality elements such as a cistern, aquatic buffer demonstration area and rain gardens as well as a community planting space, an amphitheater with bench seating and the location of an ADA-compliant natural surface trail. Town Engineer Darryl Smith recommended McGill Associates, PA, after accepting proposals from four other firms. “They were the designers for
the Halls Outdoor Classroom, which is a similar project to this,” Smith said. “The intent is for educational purposes, highlighting best management practices in terms of water quality. It would be a very good educational tool for Farragut schools as well as the community as a whole.” Smith also pointed out the project would create an aesthetically pleasing façade along Campbell Station Road. See OUTDOOR on Page 4A
Alumni player “donation request” is $20, which includes dinner ticket. This must be arranged in advance, FHS girls soccer head coach Dennis Lindsay said. Contacting men soccer alumni, “We’ve sent out over a hundred forms,” Coffey said. If men alumni not contacted by Coffey wish to participate, call Coffey at 865-719-0507. As for women’s alumni, “I’ve sent out several e-mails and told them to talk to their friends,” Lindsay said. Any FHS women’s soccer alumni may contact Lindsay at dennislindsay01 @comcast.net/

townview: Ralph McGill guestview: Bill Haslam As Farragut’s mayor and one of the “founding fathers” of the Town, I can attest first-hand to the importance of citizen involvement in cultivating progress and success in our community. If the founders of the Town of Farragut had not persevered more than 33 years ago, we would not be enjoying the quality of life — including a beautiful, wellplanned park and greenway system and Ralph a thriving business McGill community Farragut — that we Mayor do today. One of the most important ways you as a citizen can be involved in future planning for the Town is to get involved in the budget process, which is currently underway for Fiscal Year 2014. Citizens are invited to attend these upcoming Board of Mayor and Aldermen meetings at the Town Hall to find out about our budget priorities for the coming year and to give your input on what is important to you: • April 25 — Community Grant Workshop • May 23 — Draft Budget to Board of Mayor and Aldermen • June 13 — First Reading of Budget Ordinance
• June 27 — Second Reading of Budget Ordinance The Town will also be hosting a Community Forum on Thursday, May 2 during which Town Administrator David Smoak will give an overview of the current projects and priorities for Farragut — including how we’re staying on track with fulfilling our Strategic Plan 2025 — and then will open the floor for you as a citizen to share your ideas and interests for the Town. I really hope you’ll plan to join us for this important meeting. Finally, I’d like to encourage you to consider a volunteer position with the town of Farragut, giving back to our community in a tangible way. You can do this by applying to serve on one of the Town’s 12 boards, committees or commissions. This year’s application deadline is May 10, and committee service would begin in our new fiscal year on July 1. Applications are available at townoffarragut.org and at Town Hall. You can also serve the Town as a member of the Farragut’s Unsung Navy Volunteer Program, assisting at special events, working as a docent or gift shop host in the Farragut Folklife Museum and more. A registration form is available at townoffarragut.org under the Parks and Leisure Services page. I hope to work with you in 2013 as we continue to see our Town grow and succeed.

$100,000 and $150,000, with $31,350 of that total being set aside for the design and concept phase of the project. The Town applied for and received a 319(h) grant from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture for $10,000 due to the project’s inclusion of water quality elements. The outdoor classroom design is expected to be completed by June 28, and the Town will begin advertising for other associated bids in July.

There is no more important, or more complex, issue facing our country and our state today than healthcare. While Tennessee is doing a better job than the rest of the country in controlling costs of Medicaid growth, the costs are still taking a larger and larger percentage of our budget each year. For the last several months, Bill I’ve been Haslam working on a plan Tennessee to change Governor the way healthcare coverage looks in Tennessee. In the past several years, Tennessee has shown the nation how to produce true reform in education, based on students’ results and educational outcome. We’re beginning to do the same thing with reforming government service — again by measuring outcome and results rather than only years of service as a state employee. I believe that we have a once-

Department of Health and Human Services, but unfortunately, we haven’t received assurances from Washington at this point. The whole reason to accept these federal dollars would be to leverage them to shape and impact healthcare coverage in Tennessee. All we’re asking from Washington is to allow us to use the funds to provide coverage in the same way many other Tennesseans will access coverage whether or not we expand. It’s a reasonable ask. Our plan can save Tennessee money, and if it does, it will also save the federal government at least three dollars for every one dollar we save and in some cases even more. I believe that Tennessee can be a model for what true healthcare reform looks like — to cover more Tennesseans and to take significant steps to save Tennessee and the United States from the unsustainable path we are on now. It’s my hope that we can provide quality healthcare for more Tennesseans while transforming the relationship among healthcare users, providers and payers. If Tennessee can do that, we all win.

in-a-lifetime opportunity to do the same thing in healthcare: To have a healthcare system that is based on outcomes; to have a healthcare system that is based on a healthier Tennessee, which is essential for our future. That’s why I’ve been working on a plan to leverage the federal dollars available to states through the Affordable Care Act without expanding our TennCare rolls. I’d like to put in place a program to buy private health insurance for Tennesseans who have no other way to get it by using the federal money. I fundamentally believe that people having healthcare coverage is better for our citizens and state than people not having coverage. The plan I propose would include co-pays for those who can afford to pay something. We are also working with providers to lower the cost of care and to move from a model of paying for every service regardless of the result to a payment method that is based on outcomes and quality of care. Our hospitals and medical providers have put a lot of sincere effort into working with us toward payment reform, and I am grateful for their commitment to date. To succeed, we also need cooperation from the U.S.

Roughly 1,200 tree and plant seedlings, providing beauty and environmental benefit according to one town of Farragut official, will be available free of charge at two Farragut area locations this month — including Campbell Station Park this weekend. For the second year in a row, town of Farragut’s Stormwater Matters program received a $500 tree grant from Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency for purchase and giveaway of about 1,000 Shumard oak and roughly 100 indigo bush and 100 buttonbush seedlings. Twenty-Third Annual River Rescue will make these seedlings available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 6, at Campbell Station Park. Seedlings also will be available during Knoxville’s EarthFest from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, April 20, at Pellissippi State Technical Community College’s Hardin Valley campus. At Campbell Station, each attendee could, upon request, receive at least one seedling of each variety while supplies last, according to Jason Scott, Town stormwater coordinator. “We could probably give them four or five, unless we’re having like super aggressive numbers” turnout-wise, he said.

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
With 12 local authors of children’s books and a handful of storytellers signing on to participate in “Farragut Book Fest for Children,” preschoolers to preteens could have almost twice the learning experience versus last year’s successful “Fest.” Sixth annual Book Fest, from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 13, in Campbell Station Park, provides children ages 2 to 12 “an educational and entertaining event that will offer an array of activities throughout the day, from storytelling to book signings to music to art activities,” a Town press released stated. “Children will have the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with participating authors, discov-
ering their books and characters while offering the authors the chance to promote and sell their books.” Children are encouraged to come dressed in their favorite storybook character's costume. Storytellers will include Laurie Fisher, Lynn Hinkernell, Marilyn Jones and Katy Koontz. See FEST on Page 12A

As for tree-planting advice and care, “We’ve put together, like, little hand bills people can take with them that will tell them where they can plant the different plants,” Scott said. “What the characteristics of the plants are. What they look like when they get bigger. “The bushes in particular are super-duper resilient,” Scott added. “They thrive in wet conditions, but they’re also tolerant to a variety of ph’s and soils. In terms of plants that can be planted anywhere and have some degree of success, I feel like indigo bush and the buttonbush are really strong options. “And the Shumard Oak is actually pretty resilient also and also does well in wet areas.” From his “stormwater perspective,” Scott said he encourages some plant recipients “to place them maybe near streams to enhance stream buffers. The
buttonbush, as far as I can tell, you can plant it almost in the stream and the thing will grow. … It’ll make a great habitat. It’ll protect the water body itself.” Chris Woudstra, Town of Farragut AmeriCorps member, will serve as site captain at Campbell Station Park during River Rescue.

If I only had the nerve I wish I had more nerve! I remember when those classes called Assertiveness Training were popular; I wanted to sign up, but I d i d n ’ t have the nerve. I could have been an extra character in the Wizard of Oz, right next Pam to the cowYoung ardly lion; Make it a big yellow, fluffy Fun! chicken skipping off down the Yellow Brick Road to see the wizard to get nerve. I secretly would like to be outspoken. I’d love not to care about the consequences of going up to some loud-mouthed cell phone user in the airport and saying, “Sir, please lower your voice, I’m sitting in the next gate and I don’t care what kind of bowel movement you had this morning and I’m really wondering if the guy on the other end of your conversation wants to know either!” I’d like to not care if I got fat. Recently, I roomed with a wonderful woman in my chorus and she told me she is totally fine with her fat! Her suitcase proved her point. It was filled with an assortment of chips, dips, choco-
lates and other candy which she happily munched on freely through the weekend. It was stuff I’ve been limiting to a semiannual indulgence. It made me want a suitcase packed with junk food to take on my next vacation. It made me think, ‘someday I’m going to eat just the center of the watermelon and throw out the rest.’ Just that thought made me nervous. I love wild animals and living out in the woods as I do, is a great place to be with them. However there is this one family of deer that routinely plan and scheme their raids on my gardens. If I had the nerve, I would advertise in Guns R Us, “Hunter’s Paradise! Get your kill in minutes. Food and lodging included.” I’d guarantee a kill because I know just how to get right up to those fuzzy, adorable flower murderers. See, my dad was an avid hunter and fisherman. When duck season came, he’d go with his hunting buddies to Bachelor’s Island where there were these crazy looking huts out in the water called duck blinds. They’d take a boat out to one and sit in there hiding from the ducks and geese as they flew in to rest and eat. Well I would build a deer blind. I’d grow about ten roses in ten different pots and keep them on the deck (where the deer can only see and smell them) until hunting season when I’d put them out in my yard in a circle and instruct
the hunters to wear hats I’d made covered in roses (like Aunt Bea’s church hat) and go sit in the circle. I probably won’t get up the nerve to build the deer blind, but this summer I am going to go skinny dipping in the Lewis River. (I said I was going to do that last year but I lost my nerve.) I know a place that unless some guy comes by in a boat no one will see me. I’m also going to eat just the center of a watermelon and although I won’t throw out the seed part I won’t deal with it until the next day. And I think I’m going to make up some business cards that say, “Please use your quiet voice while you’re in public. Thank you!” Oh, and since it’s April, I’ll just bet I lose my nerve by next hunting season, so I think I’ll start making a chicken costume in case I get a chance to take a hike on that Yellow Brick Road.

Ethan Bennett, Farragut High School alumnus (Class of 2010) and baseball student/athlete at The University of Tennessee, greets Olivia Campbell, sixth-grader at Farragut Middle School, prior to his speech during the school’s recognition of Spread the Word to End the Word day, Wednesday, March 6, at FHS. Farragut student activists Natalie Campbell, a freshman who is Olivia’s older sister, and Matthew Odom, a junior (in background, middle), also spoke about ending use of the word “retarded” to a full Vickie B. Wells Auditorium.
Bennett, Campbell keep swinging to ‘End the Word’

Ethan and Natalie recalled painful, and cruel, memories as third-grade students before a packed Vickie B. Wells Auditorium. “When I was in the third grade, I learned the hard way,” Ethan said. “I learned that not everybody viewed Emma just as my little sister. “One day during class when my mom and my sister came to visit, a friend in the class who I considered to be a good friend, referred to Emma as a retard,” Ethan added. “I was hurt, I was shocked. I not only hurt for me, I hurt for my little sister. “Luckily, I had a teacher who addressed the class the very next day. I believe that class walked away with a very powerful message. ... I’m so thankful that that teacher brought up a great point, took a stand for me and my sister.” Natalie recalled that in the third grade, “I heard the R word used for the first time. “This girl just kept saying it over and over again; I didn’t know what it meant, but sometimes you can just tell when a

Though Emma Bennett and Olivia Campbell have special intellectual needs, they both have older siblings going to bat for them. Ethan Bennett and Natalie Campbell have been swinging hard for years to end use of the “R word ... retarded.” “I grew up knowing my little sister, Emma, had special needs,” said Ethan, FHS Class of 2010 who’s now a student/athlete — baseball catcher — as a junior at The University of Tennessee. “But in my family, we tend to focus on the strengths rather than the weaknesses.” Ethan and Natalie, an FHS freshman who started a “Spread the Word To End the Word” movement as a Farragut Middle School seventh-grader, were two of three featured speakers looking to help “End the Word” Wednesday, March 6. This “End the Word” cause was recognized on several fronts, including specially printed Tshirts.

word is a bad word,” Natalie added. In the months and years thereafter, “Sometimes I would see
kids looking funny at [Olivia] or kind of pointing and laughing,” Natalie said. “I would go over to them and explain seriously

entrance],” Duncan said. “We’re also hosting our Opening Day Luncheon in Farragut this year on April 10 at the Campbell Station Park,” starting at noon. “You’ll be seeing our new Farragut trail signs popping up” by the first week in April. “So thanks again, David [Smoak], to your team that helps us make it all possible out here,” Duncan added in reference to Farragut’s town administrator. In contact with all Farragut homes along Featured Dogwood Trail, Duncan said, “We have asked that you continue to spruce up your yards to make it beautiful for our visitors this spring.” Duncan said she recently was “on the Fox Den trail, and I found two landscape companies preparing the yards for the Festival.” Festival bus tours, departing from Market Square in downtown Knoxville, will take riders along Farragut Trail from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday, April 12, through Sunday, April 14. Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling 865-637-4561. Looking back on her years as Festival executive director, Duncan said, “When I took this job five years ago, one of the first questions I received by many people was, ‘Are you going to start the Farragut Dogwood Arts Festival again?’ “Unfortunately, when you have so many different festivals in so many communities, it dilutes all of them,” Duncan added. “And so, what we have done is partner with the town of Farragut and the organizations here to feature those arts and cultural events that are produced here.”

What would become David’s Abbey Carpet and Floors started in the owner’s basement as something he did when he got home from work. David Hayes, 68, of Knoxville, worked a full-time job as a route supervisor at Mayfield Dairy in 1973. He started work at 4 a.m. and worked 10 to 12 hours. When his shift was over, he would go home and sell carpet until about 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. Hayes was off from Mayfield Dairy on Wednesdays, so he would drive to Georgia and pick up everything sold. “It took a lot of hours and a lot of work, but it was rewarding,” he said. “And I saw that some day it would have the possibility of maybe becoming a full-time business.” Did Hayes ever think that his basement business would turn into what it is today, with two store locations in Knoxville and Pigeon Forge? “No, never envisioned that,” he said. “My vision was to be the best at what we did, give the consumer the value of what they bought from me and that they left feeling that we had done what was right. That’s the most important.”

From left, long-time salesman Sonny Sherrod stands next to owner David Hayes at David’s Abbey Carpet and Floors.
The business celebrates its 40th anniversary this month, though it began in January. April is the anniversary month because of its warmer weather, he said. The Knoxville store marks the occasion with a month-long anniversary sale, as well as a Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce breakfast event Thursday, April 18. Any member or business owner is welcome at the breakfast event, he said.
The quality of the employees sets the business apart, he said. “I learned at an early age that you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with, and we have some great people – from the warehouse people all the way to the sales people,” he said. “... I’ve got really good employees who believe in what we do and want to service our customers.” Though still independently owned, the business joined the Abbey franchise in 1997, he
said, which allows the business to have access to more products at good pricing. Hayes appreciates the support the business has had over the last four decades. “Obviously I want to thank the customers that have supported me over the last 40 years and invite them to come and see what we do now,” he said. The 10853 Kingston Pike store is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Farragut parks a resource for all Spring has sprung (in between the snowflakes anyway)! So it’s time to s t a r t enjoying Farragut’s beautiful parks. We are fortunate to be home to such Allison beautiful, Sousa well-mainBy Business, tained and amenityFor Business f i l l e d parks. But
Farragut residents aren’t the only ones who get to enjoy these recreational and natural resources. Folks from throughout Knox County, Tennessee and even the nation take away special memories of time spent here. A nod to the beauty of Farragut parks – and the entire Town – is the fact that our community has been designated for the feature trail as part of the 2013 Dogwood Arts Festival. Two groups who will be enjoying the parks the weekend of April 20 are some of East Tennessee’s best artists and photographers.
They will be painting and taking photos as part of the thirdannual Farragut Art in the Park, presented by TDS and an official Dogwood Arts Festival event. The community is invited to come out to Farragut’s parks 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. that Saturday and Sunday to watch the artists and photographers at work. Some even choose to interact with their audiences; others stay amazingly focused on their pending creations. Hundreds of children are expected to descend on Campbell Station Park on Saturday, April 20 between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to enjoy Art for
Kids. There will be lots of activities and entertainment specifically designed to spark little imaginations and creativity. Stay tuned to the farragutpress for more details, or visit www.FarragutBusiness.com to learn more about Art in the Park events. In the meantime, stay warm this “spring!” “By Business For Business” is a monthly column by Farragut Business Alliance executive director Allison Sousa. For more information: www.farragutbusiness.com

Destiny Carey’s track and field throwing career got started “with a jersey sitting on my desk,” put there by Carey’s track coach at Farragut Middle School in the seventh grade. “Apparently she called my mom [Shawna], and my mom said, ‘she’s on the team,’” recalled Carey, now a Farragut High School freshman who’s “within striking distance” of becoming one of Class AAA’s top shot put throwers statewide, said Willie Parker, FHS girls and boys track and field assistant coach. Though a bit reluctant to take up shot put and discus, Carey caught on rather quickly. One day after her first practice — in which then FMS eighth-grade thrower Dalton Hurst, now an FHS sophomore, “taught me how to throw” —

Carey won her first meet. “And this year … when I came out he helped me with discus, too.” As an FMS eighth-grader, “I did win the state in middle school for [discus] and shot,” Carey, 15, said. “Beating the school record in back-to-back track meets. “Now I love it. It’s such a fun sport to do because you meet new people all around Tennessee,” she added. “My favorite part about it is just beating up the boys, since I'm the only girl. Apparently I was an inspiration to our boys this year.” Despite her fourth-place finish in shot put and fifth in discus against stiff competition during Hardin Valley Academy Invitational Saturday March 30, “I know I can push myself and do better,” Carey said. “Focus See CAREY, page 5B

With an Olympic gold-medal winning athlete and one-time Olympic record holder willing to become your coach, perhaps it’s not earth-shattering that Ben McCay took up pole vault “like three months ago.” This Hardin Valley Academy sophomore track and field athlete made a huge leap, literally, during HVA Invitational meet Saturday, March 30, against some of the state’s better talent. Going two-and-a-half feet beyond his personal best in pole vault, McCay successfully cleared 12-feet and finished second. “The last meet I only got 9[foot]-6, so it was a big improvement. I was a little bit surprised,” said McCay, helping HVA finish second among a 26-team field. “I knew I could clear 11 because I’ve been doing that in practice. “I just told myself I could do
this, ran as hard as I could and just saw what came out,” McCay added. About suddenly taking up pole vaulting, “Tim Mack was a big motivation. He’s such a great coach,” McCay said. Mack, a former Tennessee Volunteers All-American and NCAA champion pole vaulter, earned a gold medal while setting an Olympic record during 2004 Games in Athens, Greece. “This is a great opportunity to do my best,” McCay said. “We’ve done tons of drills. He’s helped me a whole lot getting the right pole and the right length.” A decathlete who “didn't do pole vault at all” until this season, “I really wanted to do it, and because of the decathlon,” McCay said. Also a 300-meter hurdler and a leg on the Hawks’ 4 X 400 relay team, McCay almost added six See McCAY, page 5B

Key hits lacking in HVA softball shutout loss to Karns ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Frustration with the bats — no big run-producing hits despite a bushel of base runners — spelled doom for Hardin Valley Academy’s softball team last Thursday. The Lady Hawks actually pounded out 11 hits versus Karns
in a showdown of archrivals at HVA March 28. But without a clutch hit after loading the bases in the third and fourth innings — putting together three consecutive hits with no outs in the third, and three more after one out in the fourth without scoring — the Lady Hawks went on to lose 5-0. “That’s kind of been our ‘M-O’
this season,” said HVA head coach Whitney Hickam, whose team fell to 3-5 overall, 1-4 in District 3Lady Beavers 5 AAA. Hardin Lady Hawks 0 Va l l e y ’ s brightest offensive light was Audrey Jaeger, senior first baseman who led HVA with three hits. “I think at some points in the
game we weren’t focused enough,” Jaeger said. “As a team, I think we did pretty well. We just didn’t hit when we needed a hit.” Liza El-Ajam, Caira McHenry and Kara Amin connected for two apiece for Hardin Valley. Katie Cooper and Haley Cloud each added one hit. Infield errors allowed Karns (7-5, 3-2 after the win) four
unearned runs. Losing pitcher Molly Smith allowed seven hits and two walks with one strikeout in five innings. “Our pitching is getting the job done,” Hickam said. “Molly Smith is a freshman who’s getting the job done.” Reliever Caira McHenry allowed one earned run, two hits and one walk in two innings.

Most of [her competitors] spin. So when I get to learn the spin I'll be throwing, like, 100 something,” she said. Not lacking in determination or confidence, “I'm a competitive person, that comes from both of my parents,” Carey said of Shawna and father, Antoian Carey. “Just to get to state as a freshman, that’s impressive. But

Parker said Carey’s “ceiling level is really high. She’s got the potential to really do some special things. “She’s really aggressive and competitive,” Parker added. “And she really enjoys track. She’s got a really lighthearted mentally about it. She has fun while she’s out there.”
