Farragut trio headed to Boston Marathon ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Brad Adams has a top 100 Boston Marathon finish under his belt among “25,000 to 30,000” of the world’s top marathon runners. But for 2014 Boston Marathon, the Super Bowl of marathons dating back
to 1897, Adams and his friends are looking to score on the fundraising end in the shadow of last year’s tragic bombings. “That kind of motivated us to go and do it again,” said Adams, 35, Farragut High School Class of 1996 and new president of Knoxville Track Club, about he, Brad’s brother,
Bob Adams of Chattanooga (FHS Class of 1998) and Farragut resident Stewart Ellington, a former AllAmerican Cross Country and Track and Field 5k and 10k runner at The University of Tennessee. They will be among a handful of runners representing KTC after qualifying for Boston Marathon, annually
the third Monday in April on Patriots Day, which falls on April 21 this year. “Support the local community up there. … Give some money back,” Brad added. Meanwhile, “Me, Stu and my brother have a chance to get a top five team finish.” Brad returns to “Bean
Town” after having previously run Boston Marathon three straight years (2009, 2010, 2011). “My brother was there three years: I believe [20]08, [20]09 and [20]10,” Brad said about Bob. However, “My wife [Misha Adams] is choosing not to go with me just in case” of any possible ter-
rorist threat, Brad added. Ellington said this is his first Boston Marathon. At The Bank of America Chicago Marathon last October, Ellington finished 100th “out of 45,000 I think.” “Everything there was over the top in terms of See BOSTON on Page 3A

Business and non-profit organization representatives and others gathered to bid on auction items and mingle during the “Once Upon a Time” Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce dinner and auction held Friday, April 11, at Rothchild Catering and Conference Center. “I think it’s great,” Knoxville resident Brenda Herron said. “It’s a great chance for everyone to mix and mingle and raise money for a good cause. Event co-chairperson Amy Chandler said the Chamber sold 270 tickets, and 15 percent of the sales of those tickets went to support Junior Achievement of East Tennessee. Diane Jones and Michelle Carr also were cochairs. The annual event featured both a live and silent auction, and a drawing for a necklace from Rick Terry Jewelers. Doug Russell won the necklace for his wife, Angela. “I’m impressed,” Chip Reed, JAET president said. “It’s very nice. We are very pleased to be part of the event, and the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce is a great group of people.” Bettye Sisco, chamber

When moving to their family’s new home along Oakmont Circle in Fox Den roughly 30 years ago, Sandra and Evander Schwartz inherited five dogwoods. Now a can’t miss yard along the Farragut Dogwood Arts Trail each April — which catches your eye as far as 50 yards away going east with its cluster of big white dogwoods — Sandra Schwartz said the couple’s count of dogwoods is up to about 13. How eye-catching are these Schwartz dogwoods? “A couple of years ago someone actually ran into my mailbox looking at the trees,” Schwartz said. “The weather’s been real good. This year they’re pretty. It depends on the weather. Some years they are prettier than others. Every year when the trail happens there people actually stop and look. “We had a Corvette Club, I guess, they were all coming through Sunday [April 6] I think it was,” she added. “It was a whole string of them. A bunch of them.” Such attention “makes us try and spiff up everything
and get it ready for the Dogwood [Arts] Festival,” Schwartz, a technical illustrator, said. “I’m glad we’re on the trail. It’s good for our whole neighborhood to be on the trail.” Moreover, “I love going on the trail” Schwartz said. “Some of them are just breathtaking. … We have a convertible. We like to put the top down and just cruise around through there and look at everything. It’s fun.” “Sometimes I tend to get a little bit lost in Village Green, but [the pink road arrows] lead you back out,” she added. “And the history of the dogwood is so important, too.” Labeling herself “an avid gardener,” Schwartz shared some of her dogwood care tips. “I have them fed every now and then but I haven’t done that in a while,” she said. “… A company comes out and they pump those big fertilizers into the ground. A big tree isn’t going to get much out of something you just sprinkle on the ground. I do that ever two or three years in the spring, in March. See DOGWOOD on Page 2A

Ward I, North A former Ford Motor Company management official who has a “solo civil practice in private law” in Farragut looks to unseat North Ward (Ward I) Alderman Bob Markli,
as 2014 Town election year campaign heats up. A resident of Farragut “for over 10 years now,” John H. Underwood, 61, has served on the Town’s Personnel Committee for the last eight years. “I’ve been chair of the Personnel Committee for the last seven years. … I
know the staff well. I have seen the issues that have come up in at least the last eight years,” he said. Retired from Ford Motors in its human resources management, “I have more time I can devote to community servSee NORTH on Page 4A

Ward II, South Knowing that Jeff Elliott wasn’t going to run for reelection as alderman from South Ward II on Farragut Board of Mayor and Alderman, Ron Pinchok said he’s willing to fill the
void. A neighbor of Elliott who said he’d talked with the sitting alderman, Pinchok added he “probably” wouldn’t have run had Elliott sought re-election. Meanwhile, Ron Williams also has thrown his hat into the ring seeking election from South Ward II
(Town election day is Thursday, Aug. 7). “The big thing is, I would like to carry on the strategic plan that’s laid out for Farragut,” Williams, 63, said. “I’m serving on the Board of Zoning Appeals [secretary].” See SOUTH on Page 4A

“I make sure I keep them mulched,” she added. “And I have an irrigation system, so that helps them too to get enough water. And I have the dead branches cut out every year.” The Dogwood Arts Festival trail season runs from April 9
through April 27. “If the weather stays cool they’ll last a lot longer,” Schwartz said. As for increasing the number of dogwoods over the years, “A few of them were seedlings that just popped up, and I have taken some out because a lot have popped up where I really didn’t want them,” Schwartz said.
• April 10: Knox County Sheriff’s Office initiated a traffic stop on a white Dodge Stratus traveling in the eastbound lane of Parkside Drive in connection with a shoplifting complaint lodged by Gander Mountain outdoor equipment store. Both the driver and passenger gave consent to search the vehicle, which produced a cereal box containing the tags and shirt taken from the store. The pair was Marandized and a records check found one of the arrestees had two warrants issued by Cumberland County for theft. Value of the theft was about $35. • April 9: A 82-year-old woman advised police an unknown suspect entered her room at Clarity Pointe assisted care facility and took he 27inch television and money. Estimated loss is about $325. • April 7: About $40 held in a money clip was the only thing missing from a South Fox Den Road residence after
the owner walked out of a room at the back of the residence and found an unknown woman standing in the den. The owner confronted the unknown woman who stated she had spoken to the owner’s husband who said the owner might need help cleaning her house. The owner stated she told the unknown woman she did not need help and escorted her from the residence. The owner added she watched as the unknown woman walked across South Fox Den Road toward Smith Road. The owner later discovered money missing. • April 7: Police arrested three women, ages 33, 53 and 59 years old, after Kohl’s department store in Farragut off Kingston Pike witnessed the trio concealing store merchandise and leaving the store without paying for it. While one suspect was being detained in Kohl’s Loss Prevention office, the other two women were observed in the parking
lot placing stolen items under the seat of a gold 2009 Nissan Altima. A search of the vehicle produced a blue pill with “30” printed on one side and “M” in a square printed on the other side. The pill is believed to be oxycodone. All three were taken into custody charged with shoplifting while one also was charged with possession of a Schedule II drug violation. The vehicle was towed to Sutherland Towing Company. • April 5: Police were dispatched to the Weigel’s Farm Store off South Northshore Drive near Choto Road in connection with a theft report. Complainant told officers two white males came to the Weigel’s store on multiple occasions driving a black Nissan Altima. The pair knocked on the windows of customers’ cars asking them for money.

The trio look to support “one of the Boston charities, it’s called The One Fund,” Brad said. “This one helping, I believe, a former Tennessee swimmer who was up there watching her mom compete. Her and her sister really got hurt pretty bad. They’re going through some rehabilitation and medical costs.” Another West Knox Countian in the KTC group, Ethan Coffey, “Is actually running the race twice,” Brad said about “a good friend of mine.” “He’s going to run from the finish line three hours before the start [of the marathon], to the start line, and then run back. And however many minutes below seven hours he makes, people are donating [to The One Fund] based on that,” Brad

Attendees had a chance to bid on close to 120 silent auction items, listen to music provided by jazz band Angela Floyd, have dinner and bid on 28 live auction items. “We’re excited,” Chandler said. “There are lots of people, lots of items. I think we will raise lots of money for the Chamber and Junior Achievement.” Bobby Nicholson of Knoxville said he came to the event because he loves the Chamber and planned to bid. “I’m already starting on birthday and Christmas presents, so I’m hoping to get some cool stuff,” he said. “So far, it looks very interesting,” Farragut resident Marty Stormer, a Lions Club representative, said. “They have a lot of things to bid on.” “Oh, it’s fun,” Paige Davis, who came to the event dressed as Little Red Riding Hood, said. She and Thierry Sommer sponsored a table decorated with a Little Red Riding Hood theme, she added. The winners for Best Dressed Tables went to: First place, SouthEast Bank; second place, Y-12 Credit Union and third place, Regents Bank. “We’ve got some great tables out there,” Sisco said. “This is the first year we had 27 to 28 tables, so we are thrilled.”

added. This foursome of avid marathon and long-distance runners have won and placed high, as a team, in marathon events against tough world competition. That included a 200-mile “relay” run among a 12-member KTC team in Oregon “in either 2011 or 2012,” Brad said. “You end up running three times [each] … about 17-and-a-half hours” as a team. Individually, “Bob won a marathon in Louisville [Ky.],” Brad said. “… I’ve won a couple of 50k’s, which are 31 miles. “My best Boston time was, I believe, 2 [hours] 41 [minutes]. I was the top Tennessean that year,” Brad added about his effort “either in 2010 or 2011.” In fact, “I was 88th out of about 25,000 or 30,000 [worldwide] runners,” Brad added. As for his joy of running Boston Marathon, “It’s the support from the people that live in Boston. It’s like no other marathon in the world,” Brad said. “… People five deep cheering you on. A big holiday there, big social event.”

As part of the March for Meals, Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill went on a Mobile Meals route Wednesday, March 26, and helped deliver meals to Farragut residents and people in the surrounding area. “I was just told that we have 47 recipients out in Farragut area, so obviously there are a lot of people who need this kind of service. And fortunately, we have an organization here that tries to take care of them as much as possible,” McGill said. The people receiving meals
were at locations including Linda Heights and the area around Fox Den subdivision. “We do have some people who are having a hard time in Farragut, and the people who could best help them are the ones who they’re closest. So their neighbors, the community, should try to help people who need some help,” he said. Dorothy Grisko, 88, was one person who received a meal with McGill’s help. “I was in the hospital for a while,” Grisko said. “I still can’t walk without a walker because I fall down. So, [Mobile Meals has] been a blessing.”
Originally from Connecticut, Grisko estimated she has been in the Mobile Meals program for about one-and-a-half years. Alison Taylor, Knoxville-Knox County CAC senior nutrition program manager, said people in the program receive one meal a day, usually delivered between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. “Senior hunger is about aging,” Taylor said. “It’s not about affordability. If you can’t access, you don’t drive anymore, how do you go get food? How do you go to the grocery store? Maybe you can’t stand for a long enough time to See MAYOR on Page 4A

ice,” Underwood said. “Running for Alderman, I think I can bring my management experience to bear, and serve and represent the homeowners of Farragut in a better way. “I’m not throwing stones at anybody, including Bob Markli,” Underwood added. “I think Bob’s done an excellent job and I have full respect for anybody that’s taken the time and effort to devote to Underwood the town of Farragut — and they’re all volunteers.” In his first-ever campaign for public office, “I just think I can bring to bear my experience, having dealt with communities. … I was community relations person for Ford Motor Co. in Nashville for a number of years,” Underwood said. “I’ve served around the U.S., I’ve served internationally with Ford. I’ve been in management. … And my knowledge of Tennessee and just the issues that are here. … I’m aware of the issues that are going on with the Town.” Specifically, Underwood said his skill set includes “efficiency of operations, dealing with the public, listening to the public. And I have the time to do that.” As for Markli’s re-election bid, “I ran in 2009 with some very specific goals in mind,” he said. “I have accomplished some and made significant progress to-ward others. I had hoped that someone would step up to the plate that I felt confident would carry those objectives forward. Since that has not happened, I feel invested in making sure these things get done. Specifically, “I want to continue to develop our walking trails and undertake an initiative to employ the box culverts under Kingston Pike as pedestrian tunnels to increase connectivity, and exploit our creekways as natural additions to our walking and bike trails,” Markli, 63, said. “I want to further develop our Education Relations Committee and task them with developing mentorER? GOT BE ! WE DO
ing/internship partnerships between our schools and our great local institutions such as UT, ORNL … I want to work on increasing cooperation with Knox County and developing a regional synergy with other municipalities in East Tennessee. ... Kingston Pike is our main commercial corridor and with the huge shift to T u r k e y Markli Creek now nearing its end, my focus is rethinking and re-purposing this important core of our Town.” Markli lists as accomplishments for which he takes at least partial credit: “changing the perception that Farragut was not in the education business” by increasing our level of support for our schools and forming the Education Relations Committee … saving the Knoxville Open golf tournament in Farragut. … Resolving the Town employee pension dilemma … recruiting and hiring David Smoak as Town administrator. … organizing the Economic Development Committee. … supporting the Farragut Business Alliance, Farragut’s own, dedicated business group. “… Bringing Costco to Town,” Markli added. “… Acquiring for the Town, our county, state and nation our most historically significant structure, the Campbell Station Inn, known to most as the Avery-Russell House. … the Hotel/Motel Tax. We were able to resist the urge to gratuitously institute this tax. …” Markli also served for six years on the Farragut Visual Resources Review Board and on the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel for the Development Review Process Board. Having lived in Farragut for 26 years, “I have been selfemployed since 1971 and have been building custom homes in Town since 1991,” Markli said.

We’ve got the Silver S p o o n restaurant right there at the corner of Campbell Station and Kingston Pike that’s vacant. Pinchok We’ve got to do something. We’ve got to step it up. We’ve got to try and find ways to fill those empty boxes. “And try and create some new development along Kingston Pike as well,” Pinchok, 65, added. “… That’s kind of what I’ve been working as far as the Economic Development Council the last few years.” A former representative with Hallmark greeting card company for 35 years before retiring in 2010, Pinchok said he’s lived in Farragut 26 years.
Deciding in 2011 to start volunteering his services toward Town interests, “I got on the Parks and Athletics Committee,” Pinchok said. “And last year I was elected the chairman. I’ve spent the last three years doing a lot of work with the parks as far as the new artificial turf field over there at Watt Road at Mayor Bob Leonard Park. “I also was involved with the plans for the expansion of McFee Park,” Pinchok added. “That got me interested in doing some other things. I also got appointed to the Economic Development [Committee], I’m chairman of that as well.” Saying he’s lived in Farragut 20 years, Williams added he’s qualified because “I’ve spent many years working with the neighborhoods that I’ve lived in.” That includes serving “four terms” on Sherwood subdivision Homeowners Association board. Williams also said he’s “pretty much a free thinker who paid his own way. That’s kind of the way I was brought up.”
understand that senior hunger is about aging. “Does low income exacerbate the problem? Sure, but it doesn’t create it. It’s created by aging. And so, like I say, we cover every ZIP Code in Knox County, and we’re happy that the mayor participates in this each year from Farragut,” Taylor added. “To be eligible for Mobile Meals, you must be 60 years of age
or older and for our program, to live in Knox County and you’re unable to prepare meals for yourself or have someone to do it for you. ...

The local Summit Express Clinic moved to its new location at 10820 Kingston Pike, suite 11, in Century Plaza near Costco and next door to Papa John’s Pizza. The Summit Express Clinic opened at the new location Tuesday, March 18. “It gave us a little bit more visibility and accessibility with a heavily trafficked area there at the Kingston Pike location,” Jennifer Burke, Summit Medical Group corporate communications director, said. “... So I think for convenience and accessibility, it was a good location for us to move to.” The clinic was previously located at 11416 Grigsby Chapel Road, at the corner of Grigsby Chapel Road and Campbell Station Road, Burke said.

Miller’s strong performance secures 3-2 win over Bearden putting Farragut atop District 4-AAA
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Shelby Miller’s arm and bat helped Farragut avenge an earlier loss to Bearden. Such effort thrust Miller’s Lady Admirals into the top spot in District 4-AAA. Miller, a junior left-fielder whose strong throw home after a fly-ball Lady Admirals 3 out — and nice Lady Bulldogs 2 short-hop scoop by FHS catcher Hannah Stephenson — nailed Lady Bulldogs runner Haley Mullins at the plate in the third inning, came up big again. With Farragut down 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Mary Claire Coyne began a rally with a single to left. Miller’s long drive deep to right field turned into an RBI triple. The junior would score on a two-out wild pitch as the Lady
Admirals held on to win 3-2 Monday evening, April 14, at FHS’s Bellamy Field. “It was an outside pitch, middle outside,” Miller said about her triple after helping Farragut improve to 18-7 overall and a district-leading 9-2 mark. Bearden fell to 14-6, 7-3. “We’ve been known to kind of be the Comeback Kids, we’ve been fighting real hard all year,” Coyne, a sophomore first baseman, said. “Even when things look down we just find a way to win.” Leonard Sams, BHS head coach, said his team “didn’t get the clutch hitting when we needed to. We had more than enough opportunities to blow this game open.” Defensively, “We can’t give up errors against a good softball team,” Sams added. “… That was the big difference in the ballgame.” See LADY ADS on Page 12A

Spirited game ends with walk-off Hawks victory after Powell rallies ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutpress.com
Hardin Valley Academy hosting Powell was much more than a lazy, sunny Saturday afternoon game where both teams couldn’t wait for a long week of Demarini/Diamond Academy Classic baseball to end. So spirited was HVA’s 7-6 walkoff home win against the Panthers April 12 — both teams rallying from deficits in the final two innings — the post-game handshake had to be aborted when a
couple of players almost came to blows. Cooler heads prevailed before any blows were struck. Furthermore, game hero Vinny Gambuzza, whose four-hit day w a s Hawks 7 capped with a Panthers 6 two-out, game-winning single to left field scoring Tyler Thompson in the bottom of the seventh, said he was motivated by Powell chatter. “Those guys fire me up, yelling and all that,” Gambuzza, who also pitched three innings of middle
relief, said. “It even makes me want to pitch even better whenever they’re yelling all their stuff.” Thompson reached on a shortstop error to begin the bottom of the seventh before stealing second base. While HVA improved to 17-3 — also beating Mt. Juliet and Clinton during the Classic while losing to Noblesville, Ind. — Powell fell to 15-4 (1-2 in the tourney). Sully Smoak’s first-inning three-run homer, the first career home run for the senior, quickly
make it 3-0 Hawks in the first inning. “It was a fastball. He threw me a first-pitch curveball that was in the dirt. I figured he was going to come back with a fastball.” Smoak, starting catcher, said. “He just left it right over the plate, right where I like it.” After that, “We kind of let the lead get the best of us,” Smoak added, as Powell scored four in the top of the sixth to go ahead 53. “You’ve got to give them credit, they fought back. We kept fighting, too.”
The Hawks answered back with three in the bottom of the sixth: sophomore left fielder Dylan Harris, who had three hits including a double, ripped an RBI single to put HVA up 6-5 capping the rally. Matt Martin had a bases-loaded RBI walk. Anthony Gambuzza added an RBI groundout. Zach Sears and Vinny Gambuzza had key one-out singles.

Young Admirals’ gutsy comeback falls just short ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Farragut’s young baseball players are maturing, as evidenced by a gutsy comeback against a team considered one of Tennessee’s best in Class AAA. That was a point made by FHS head coach Matt Buckner and two of his top performers Saturday afternoon, April 12, though a late comeback during 2014 Demarini/Diamond Academy Classic fell a couple of runs short at FHS’s John Heatherly Field. A 9-7 loss to No. 3-ranked Dyer County — a team the Admirals eliminated in the 2013 TSSAA state tournament — was Farragut’s first Classic loss in four games to that point (16-10 overall through Monday, April
14). The senior-laden Choctaws improved to 19-4 a day after beating Bearden at BHS 7-1. Three errors in the third inning helped Dyer score three runs to go ahead 3-0. “We made too many mistakes early in the game,” Buckner said. “… Good teams l i k e Choctaws 9 them, if Admirals 7 you make mistakes they will beat you. Last three games we hadn’t made a single error. We’re progressing in that area. We had a little setback today.” As for Dyer County, “I think they’re probably the best team in the state,” Buckner said. “They’ve got a lot of pitching. Good, quality club, really well coached.” Against such a powerhouse, “We did a good job battling,”
Buckner said. “Early in the year I’m not sure we would have battled as hard as we did. We’re starting to turn the corner as far as competing a little bit harder.” FHS catcher Nico Mascia, a junior, belted a pair of doubles, the latter driving in two runs in the third inning. About Mascia, Buckner said, “He’s had a good year. He’s swung it well all year.” “Me and my coaches have worked hard on it and they help me in the off-season,” Mascia said. “Even now, we’re continuously hitting in the cages and off the tee getting work done. That goes for the whole team. “We might have just gotten this loss, but man we’re really coming together as a team,” Mascia added. “It’s looking See ADMIRALS on Page 11A

Good swings not enough for Bearden victory ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Pleasing head coach John Rice with bat-on-ball veracity against one of the top-ranked Class AAA teams in Tennessee, Bearden’s offense still fell on hard times during 2014 Demarini/Diamond Academy Classic. “We hit the ball all over the park and the ball didn’t fall, but that’s just part of the game,” Rice said after a 10Indians 10 5 loss to t h e Bulldogs 5 Indians Friday evening, April 11, at BHS’s Phil Garner Ballpark”… We hit the ball hard. We had a lot of good swings today. I’m really happy with our guys at the plate. “We didn’t pitch great. And we didn’t play perfect defense. We gave them a couple of runs,” Rice added about KDB’s five-run third inning featuring five hits and two costly Bulldog errors. Bearden stood at 15-7 overall after a loss to Dyer County, 7-1, Friday night before bouncing back to beat East Hamilton 8-5 Saturday morning. The Bulldogs remained among the leaders in District 4-AAA starting the week (7-1). Dobyns-Bennett improved to 16-1-1 after Friday’s win. Leading off with an infield hit in the second inning, Brock Vaughn
scored on Brady Duncan’s infield hit, tying the game 1-1. Down 6-1, Bearden rallied in fifth after two outs and none on base. Lane Thomas’ double preceded Elijah Helton’s RBI single. After a hit batter and walk loaded the bases, David Beam’s cleared them off with a three-RBI double. Connor Cameron added a single for the Bulldogs. Thomas said about KDB, “They’ve always been able to swing it. We’ve played them the last three years I’ve been here. Every game’s tough with them.” A Tennessee Volunteer signee, Thomas said his Bulldogs are having “a good season” despite “injuries with pitchers getting hurt and stuff.” Ryan Wagner, KDB head coach who took his Indians to the TSSSA state tourney last season, said he already had used his top two starting pitchers. “We’ve got a really good ballclub, and we’ve been pretty successful the last three years,” Wagner added. As for Bearden, “We like to play them once a year,” Wagner said. “Their [district] is so strong. They’re five or six deep” in quality. Rice said Indians starting pitcher Jeb Lambert “kept us off balance with that slider, really good little slider. The kid they brought in at the end there pitched pretty good.”

seventh inning. Already contributing one hit and two runs scored while starting at shortstop, Hunt allowed two seventh inning doubles that produced the tying run, but worked out of further trouble with an inning ending strikeout. Starting pitcher Drew Parks, only a freshman, worked three innings (one run, two hits, three walks and two hit batters). Vinny Gambuzza worked the next three
(four runs, four hits, two strikeouts, two walks, two hit-batters). Welcoming a chance to relief pitch on top of his offensive production, the junior second-baseman said, “It’s my game at that point once I’m on the mound. Everything’s up to me and I want to help myself out and help my teammates out.” Powell head coach Jay Scarbro said, “It was a good game all around. “The problem is, we left 11 runners on base and we walked seven or eight guys. When you do that you can’t beat anybody.”

Farragut’s lack of depth Brentwood’s gain ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Never underestimate the value of depth in high school lacrosse. According to Bob Beekman, Farragut High School head coach, a lack of depth Sunday was extremely costly. Brentwood came from metro Nashville Bruins 15 to the K n o x Admirals 4 County area and, licking it wounds from an 8-6 loss at Webb School of Knoxville the day before, took out its frustrations on the Admirals. The result was a 15-4 Bruins victory Sunday afternoon, April 13, at Mayor Bob Leonard Park’s artificial turf field. “Our attrition really hurt us in the second half,” Beekman said about Farragut’s inability to

good.” “That comeback right there, that shows a sign of maturity, I think. I mean, we’ve got a young team. … At the beginning of the season I don’t think we do that. “We’ve grown up a lot.” Senior Gabe Waldrop, starting right fielder, also added two hits Saturday against Dyer County. “We just fell a little bit short,” Waldrop said. “We started out slow but we’re slowly building toward that championship form that we need going into the post-season.” Roy Mutta’s two singles included a second inning RBI single. Sam Schulze’s RBI single was part of Farragut’s three-run rally in the fifth after two outs and none on base, cutting an 8-4 Dyer lead to 8-7. Carson
close a 7-2 halftime deficit (2-1 Brentwood after one period). “We didn’t have any depth. … This should have been a closer game, maybe two or three goals either way. This was a beatable team with our full compliment of players, no doubt.” While the Admirals fell to 4-6 overall, the Bruins improved to 95. With a handful of those injured players expected back for the Admirals’ game at Webb Wednesday, April 16, “We’ll be good for the rest of the year,” Beekman added. Individually, “Our goalie, Shyam Thigarajan, played an outstanding game,” Beekman said about the junior who despite giving up 15 goals had 15 saves. Senior Zeke Troyer, midfielder, led the Admirals offensively with

Strickland added an RBI double in the fifth. Cole Morgan and Chase Chambers also singled for the Admirals. Meanwhile, FHS pitching allowed 12 Dyer County hits. Preston Ozment, Dyer County head coach, said his “senior heavy” team “kind of circled this game on our schedule” after losing to FHS in dramatic fashion during the 2013 state tournament. As for motivation to drive “six hours” to get to Knox County for this tourney, “You need to see these guys you may have a chance to play later in the year in the state tournament or post season,” Ozment said. “That’s why we like coming up here. … “Buck does a great job,” Ozment added about Buckner. “… They’ve got a great program, and that’s what we’ve got to expose our guys to.”

two goals. “They are a very physical team; they are much more physical than we are,” Troyer said. “But we’re working on that. “Definitely the most physical team we’ve played.” Other Farragut goals were scored by senior midfielder Nathan Ogier, who also had an assist, and freshman attackman Tanner Elwood. Elwood scored after coming from behind the Bruins net to the left side, then spinning and firing successfully on net from about five yards out in the fourth period. Senior Jackson Brooks, Admirals attackman/midfielder who had one assist, said the
Bruins “definitely were a better team than we were today.” Brooks added his Admirals need to improve “on offensive movement, off-ball movement.” Junior Darren Narveson, FHS midfielder/attackman/defender, said, “It was definitely a physical game. They play a little bit dirty. “But I think it’s more a lack of numbers on our side that really affected the game,” Narveson added. Chuck Catterton, Brentwood head coach, said his team “did alright today. We settled down and actually ran the offense like it’s supposed to be run.” The Bruins travel to Knox County for two games, staying overnight, “every other year,” Catterton said.
Lady Ads From page 9A
With winning pitcher Emily Smith and BHS starter Dana Steinbacher, both juniors, getting out of jams early, it was Bearden scoring first in the third inning. After Cassidy Heemsoth led off with a walk, Maxey House, a sophomore catcher, belted an RBI triple deep to right field. It was her second hit of the game. “I thought it was a great game. I thought both teams played really hard,” House said. Sams said of House, “She hit well today.” Coyne capped a Farragut rally to tie the game after two were out and none on base in the third inning. Following infield singles
by Avery Blankenburg and Lexee Lamoree, Coyne’s single to right field scored Blankenburg to tie the game 1-1. The Lady Bulldogs jumped back ahead 2-1 in the fifth. Sadie Coons reached on what was scored as an infield error allowing Coons to reach second. She eventually scored on Heemsoth’s RBI groundout. Heemsoth’s two-out double in the seventh kept Bearden alive before Alaeni Ray lined out to Madison Etter at second base to end the game. Sophomore Niki Slone added a fifth-inning double for Farragut. Smith had a bunt single. Alisa Walker, senior third baseman, also smacked two hits for Bearden. “She’s really coming on
strong,” Sams said about Walker. Ray had an infield hit. The Lady Admirals were coming off four wins in five games, tying for fifth-place, during Gibbs Tournament at GHS and Caswell Park featuring an 18-team statewide field. Coyne’s two-run homer late broke a 3-3 tie as Farragut beat Unicoi County 5-3 Friday evening, April 11. The Lady Ads then beat Pigeon Forge 12-3 Friday night. Highlights included Sarah Jackson’s two hits. Callie Moore, freshman pitcher, picked up her first-ever varsity victory in a complete game (six inning) shutout of Upperman 3-0 Saturday morning, April 12.

A teenager trying to fight through diabetes from Middle Tennessee, a Farragut women motivated by the loss of a special friend and a handful of professional bodybuilders all gathered along Outlet Drive for the same reason Saturday, March 22. They were among 60 who participated in Third Annual Kidz Team Lift For Kidz, held at Next Level Training facility at 11210 Outlet Drive. “We had a lot of great lifters come out. It was our biggest turnout ever,” said Allen Sizemore, professional trainer/competitive bodybuilder and tri-founder of Kidz Team with wife, Becca Sizemore and their friend, Wes McKeehan. “We ended up with $2,800.” Proceeds “help the families of children who have recently been diagnosed with cancer requiring a long term stay at hospitals within the Knox County area,” a Kidz Team press release stated. “They provide a variety of products to the families including: personal hygiene supplies, gift cards at local restaurants and gas cards.” Each participant donated $20 to bench press in front of the gathering: for men the challenge was to bench your body weight as many reps as possible. For women, it was half their body weight. Lisa Guyton was among roughly 20 members of Knoxville Beauty Hunters fitness group on hand to participate. “What motivated me to come is my friend, Melissa Deitz Woods, we had been working out and she was real encouraging to me,” Guyton said. “She wanted to do this this year, but she passed away with a stroke back on Dec. 29. “Driving here today I just thought, ‘If I just get one rep out today I’m going to do it for her.’” Saying she also was motivated by the memory of Melissa, Brandi Aaron of Farragut said Beauty Hunters “really pushes me to want to do this. … This is my first time ever doing anything like this.” An aspiring teen bodybuilder from Dickson (about 30 miles west of

When Farragut residents Doris and Joe Walton both worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratories, it was still the “Secret City.” Doris, 88, and husband Joe, 93, were 19 and 24 when they began working at Oak Walton R i d g e National Laboratory, part of the Manhattan Project, during World War II to produce the first atomic bomb. “He never talked about what he did,” Doris said about Joe. “Security was tight in the early days. “We had to have badges and everything. “It was still a closed city. If we had guests, we had to have passes.” “When I worked there, no one knew what was going on, she added. “You just did your job and didn’t ask any questions. “When the war was over, you felt so proud that you had been a part of winning the war. You felt you had done something.” Joe said he did realize the significance of the work being produced there but he mostly dealt with stable isotopes, which are elements not showing a tendency to undergo radioactive breakdown. Doris, a Maynardville native, worked with East Tennessee Eastman in Knoxville before coming to Oak Ridge in 1947 as a secretary for the medical director. She worked there until 1955. Joe, a nuclear physicist from Kentucky, joined ORNL in September 1948 in the stable iso-

Farragut residents had an opportunity recently to learn from local authors about Tennessee women who made a place in history. Farragut Folklife Museum presented the event, “Tennessee Women of Vision and Courage,” Friday, March 14, in Farragut Town Hall. Farragut Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche said this is the first year for the presentation. The event featured a look at the book, co-edited by Charlotte Crawford and Ruth Johnson Smiley.

The book is a compilation of stories of those 22 women written by Tennessee authors. Crawford and Smiley joined one of the contributing authors in the book, Dr. Judy Arnold, in sharing insights into some of the women highlighted.

Arnold related her challenges in writing about Elizabeth “Quatie” Brown Henley Ross, a Cherokee wife of Chief John Ross. She died while on the Trail of Tears. “I was really excited about this project for a couple of reasons,” Arnold said. She said she has been interested in women’s equality issues and she wondered why Ross could not be found in history books. See WOMEN on Page 2B

WORKING JANE:
Newby pharmacists go from Martin, to Farragut
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Carla Rice Newby and Laurie Todd Newby, who ended up marrying brothers then moving to Farragut in 1999 and 2002 respectively, became good friends in middle school in Martin. Graduating Westview High School the same year, these close friends surprised each other by finding out both were pre-pharmacy majors at The University of Tennessee, Martin. They graduated from UT Pharmacy School in Memphis in 1988. “I asked [Laurie], why are you in all these chemistry and organic chemistry and physics and biology [classes]? What are you majoring in,” Carla recalled. “And she said, ‘pharmacy,’ and I said, ‘me too.’” Ever more interesting in terms of parallel interests between the two, fast forwarding to 2014, both are part-time Kroger pharmacists (36 hours per week) working out of the same Farragut Brooklawn Street store. As for both choosing pharmacy as a career independent of what the other was thinking, “We’ve talked a lot about that because neither one of us had ever worked in a pharmacy before,” Carla said. “We knew we were medically inclined, but we didn’t want to be nurses, that

So being a medical doctor was out of the question.” Being a Kroger pharmacist “has been extremely flexible,” Carla said. Unlike Carla, who is primarily based at the Farragut location, “I’m more of a clinical pharmacist now as well as staffing,” Laurie said about her work taking her to several Knox metro area Kroger pharmacies each week performing “biometric screenings” that include employee screenings “for health insurance. … do their cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure and all that.” Also a part of Laurie’s work in “medical treatment management … we intervene at the pharmacy level” with a “comprehensive medical review” in conjunction with insurance companies. “We set up an appointment with patients, they come to the pharmacy and I sit down and go through all their medical conditions, each medicine … seeing if the patient has any problems with their medications,” Laurie added. “… We do a lot of immunizations with that, too.” Also having to be a counselor of sorts, “I had one lady threaten, ‘I just want to go on and die,’” Laurie said. “That’s hard to deal with. … You have to show emotional sup-

Waggoner has more than 44 years of law enforcement experience: not only working on the ground, but supervising large multi-state investigations and managing multi-million dollar budgets. He has a Masters of Public Administration and has received police certification in three states. He served almost 13 years at the KCSO, the last six of which he was Chief of Detectives. While there, he saw first-hand where improvements need to be made, where money is being needlessly wasted, and where resources need to be re-allocated to keep the focus on Knox County’s safety.
Political promises and cronyism have long plagued the Sheriff ’s Office, and Waggoner pledges to put an end to it. He’ll hire the best and the brightest based on their experience and qualifications rather than their political connections. He’ll manage the budget with integrity, putting an end to unnecessary purchases and positions. Waggoner will make sure every taxpayer dollar goes to making Knox County safer.
While growing up in the Karns community, Waggoner was strongly influenced by his grandfather, who was Knox County Sheriff for three terms, and his father, who was a detective with the City of Knoxville. They instilled in him a commitment to give back to his country and his community, which Waggoner did both: serving in the Army and serving his community with a lifetime career in law enforcement.
In recent years, an increasing number of KCSO officers have been caught overstepping their authority. Whether it’s making a teenager spin on a bat or unlawfully confiscating football tickets to resell, it’s unacceptable and it’s an abuse of power. Just like a successful football coach keeps his players in line, a Sheriff sets the example for discipline and accountability. Waggoner has a proven track record of being a respected mentor and providing mature, responsible leadership.
Just a few months ago, the current Sheriff made national news when he made a controversial statement that he would stack immigrants in the Knox County jail like “cordwood.” Waggoner will be a full-time Sheriff who will not embarrass the community with his words or actions. He’ll be tough, but fair, and will enforce the law equally to all.

TSA hasn’t found it … yet Since 9/11, our lives and travel have drastically changed. Because of those evil terrorists, we’re all use to being searched; scanned and occasionally ex-rayed (they promise it’s only radio waves). We all know not to carry knives, guns, hand grenades, bombs, sewing scissors, knitting needles, water bottles and liquid or jell cosmetics in containers larger than t h r e e ounces, and we all obediently take off our shoes, jackets, belts and coats, and dump Pam out our p o c k e t s Young before we Make it run our Fun! bodies through the detection devices. But there is one lethal weapon I manage to slip passed those inspections, every time I fly some place. I’ll tell you what it is later. It’s funny; I’ve been pulled over by the uniformed checkers many times as they invariably discover some suspicious object in my carry-on suitcase that looks questionable to them. Every time I’ve been hauled aside and processed they’ve let me go with the item in question and of course I also get through with my lethal weapon. One time an agent who flagged me, had a hard time getting my suitcase unzipped because that zipper dealy was missing. Those little tabs must come off very easily, especially when there are 14piece luggage sets out there for $99.99. Anyway, she actually had a Sucrets tin full of zipper pullers and I got to pick one, which she attached and I was on my way (with my lethal weapon). Only women will understand and know what my extremely dangerous and lethal weapon is. Have you guessed what it is yet? I’ll narrow it down a little more; only large-breasted women will understand and know what my extremely dangerous and lethal weapon is. It’s the bra with underwire. If you are large-breasted and wear bras with underwire, you have, no doubt, had an underwire cut through the casing and expose itself. Whenever that has happened to my bras, (which is occasionally) I just shove the
wiring back in and hand-sew it, until it works its way back out again. Now there’s a reason that those underwires have the ability to work their way through the original and then secondary sewing. They’re razor sharp! I am not exaggerating! They’re razor, like in scalpel, sharp. I know, because, out of curiosity, I’ve pulled an underwire totally out of a bra I had, and I cut myself seriously. Watch Out for Pamela Anderson The underwire is U-shaped like a garrote. Now think about this: a razor sharp, U-shaped wire in the hands of a skilled-killer could sever a head in one simple swipe. I’m not saying the next terrorist will be shaped by Pamela Anderson, or that the TSA people should start eyeing woman with big breasts instead of confiscating ten-ounce tubes of Crest and knitting needles. I’m just saying, that in any given flight, a largebreasted woman who, God forbid, was a terrorist, could simply pull on the tip of an exposed wire, easily whip it out and in less than 30 seconds, behead the flight attendant serving her nuts and coffee. Put a six-pack of large-breasted terrorists on a flight, and the jet goes wherever they want it to go. I don’t want to make you anxious about the next time you fly and we certainly don’t need to start profiling voluptuous women any more than we should fear women dressed in burkas. I’m just suggesting that TSA really look at how ridiculous some of their official scrutiny is, when a large-breasted woman like myself can get through the lines with such a lethal weapon.

Eighty-two children at Concord United Methodist Church rode their bicycles and scooters to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Hospital. “They fix kids that are sick,” 5year-old Claire Luton, a student at CUMC’s preschool program, said about St. Jude Hospital. The children, from ages 3 to 6, lined up Friday morning, April 10, at the church parking lot to ride in the church’s annual trikathon, which raised money for St. Jude’s, Pat Kegley, a preschool director,
said. The hospital in Memphis is a pediatric treatment and research hospital focused on treating children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Parents of these children do not have to pay for that treatment. Founded by the late Danny Thomas, entertainer, the hospital opened its doors in 1962. Six classes at CUMC took part in the event, each lining up at the starting point and then riding around the parking lot. While some rode easily on their own, others had the assistance of training wheels and teachers. After the

He said his class rode their bikes to help sick children.

been doing this fundraiser since 1998. “We’ve worked with [St. Jude’s] and some of the parents have run in the marathon at St. Jude,” Kegley said. “We kind of have a rapport with them, and we feel it’s a great cause.” “Oh, it’s great,” Lisa Cox, teacher for the 4-year-olds, said. “My mother-in-law, Cynthia Thomas, works for St. Jude, and
she loves it. She was all excited about our doing this.” Rapkowicz said Isabella Coin, who was a student of CUMC preschool about five years ago, has started her own foundation, Bella’s Blessings, to raise money for St. Jude’s Hospital. “She raises money all the time for St. Jude’s, and she raised about $150 for this year’s trikathon,” Rapkowicz said about Isabella, adding the girl may have gotten the awareness while at CUMC.

decks. One of his recent challenges was a solid walnut table he built for marathon runner David Ingram. Ingram ran close to 90 marathons in 50 states. “I knew the guy for a number of years. [Ingram] got all these medallions [from those marathons]," Ashkar said. “He didn’t just want to hang the medallions on the wall. He asked, ‘What do you think we can do?’” So Ashkar thought about it and came up with a table. “It’s functional,” he said. “It looks good, a conversation piece.”
Ashkar started the table just after Thanksgiving and finished it around the end of February. The 35 by 46-inch table stands about 24 inches high. It features a U.S. map in the center, and the states are cut separately and beveled, like a puzzle. The medallions, embedded in the wood, surround the U.S. map, and there are tags under each medallion depicting where Ingram received them. Glass covers the top of the table. Ashkar said the placement of the medallions dictated the size of the table, adding he did not want See ASHKAR on Page 9B

Fulton welcomed as Concord A.M.E. Zion pastor ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
History and the present unite at Concord A.M.E. Zion Church as members of the 149-year-old church welcome a new minister, the Rev. Sam B. Fulton Jr., to their fold. “I’m very passionate abut serving God,” Fulton, 37, said. Born in Mascot, he has preached at five African Methodist Episcopal Zion churches in the past 10 years, but this is his second charge. Fulton thinks he is probably the youngest pastor in the
Tennessee conference, which includes nine churches in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Maryville. In addition to his eight years of schooling, Fulton spent two years as a local preacher, two years as a traveling minister and five years as an ordained deacon before serving as elected elder at Concord A.M.E. Zion. The new pastor gathered with some church members for Bible study Thursday, March 13, in the church. “We’re blessed to have him, and he makes it fun,” church member Sandra Steen said.
“I think people want to see a young pastor,” Fulton said. Others, such as Helen Trent, Pauline Baker and Bernetta Hardin, said they thought he was wonderful and knowledgeable. Concord A.M.E. Zion Church was established in 1872 as the Concord African Methodist Episcopal Church, according to church records. “I love the history and being a part of something I feel is making a difference,” Fulton said. “I believe the church is making a difference.

Joe said they were open because the plants worked 24 hours’ shift work. “It was a fun, fun place,” she said. “It had bowling leagues and softball teams. There were a lot of
sports.” Doris and Joe met in 1951 at the plant, and dated two years before they married in 1953. They moved to Farragut in 1955, when Joe bought four lots at auction in Thornton Heights, and the couple raised a family there. “We were just really happy,” Doris said. “We had some friends in this area who worked at Oak Ridge and who commuted.”

Zion Church, established in 1796, was cal-led the Freedom Church after it broke off from the Methodist Church. Since its beginnings, Concord A.M.E. Zion Church has had 16
pastors before Fulton took charge as elected elder. The new pastor said he would like to get the church’s members more involved in the community and make themselves more available. “I know God is leading us to be more community-minded,” he said. “If we are not meeting the needs of the community, we’re just meeting.

to crowd the medallions. As many of Ashkar’s larger pieces, the table can be disassembled so Ingram can move it from one place to another. Ashkar has the philosophy that nothing is permanent. Ashkar’s love for woodworking started when he was a boy in Lebanon, and it has been his passion ever since. He started woodworking fulltime after he resigned from a textile company when he was 34. Ashkar uses many types of wood, such as mahogany, cherry and walnut; and he said he likes to use a combination of woods on the same project. He does not use machine-made or store-bought wood, such as moulding, “I do my own,” he said. “Even the wood I get is rough lumber. I surface it and work with it as I need it.” Many of his pieces feature fretwork, delicate lace-like designs cut into a piece of wood. They can be seen in chandeliers he has made and in commissioned prints.
