Mayor ends in-home gun ordinance talk ■
STEPHANIE EDWARDS Correspondent
Town of Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill proposed a straw vote during the April 25 Farragut Board of the Mayor and Aldermen meeting to decide whether town staff should form an ordinance requiring households to keep a gun. “A citizen’s proposal stirred all this up, and it would require all households in Farragut to have a gun,” McGill said. “I
believe the federal government has no authority to tell people you must to buy health insurance. I also believe we have no authority to tell people you must buy a gun. All the talk about the benefit for the McGill town, I don’t believe.” McGill and Alder-men Jeff Elliott, Ron
Honken and Dot LaMarche voted no. Alderman Bob Markli voted yes. “That’s four to one,” McGill said. “That’s the end of this talk.” In other meeting news, Town engineer Darryl Smith presentMarkli ed three bids for the resurfacing of 16 roads during the next fis-
cal year. The project budget is $500,000 out of State Street Aid Funds, which are distributed by the state from fuel taxes on a per capita basis. Rogers Group, Inc. proposed the lowest bid at $410,477.17, followed by APAC-Atlantic, Inc., at $415,966.80 and Greenback Asphalt Company, Inc. at $502,138.15. Smith suggested that the BOMA approve the lowest bid in order to potentially be able to resurSee GUNS on Page 3A
Synthetic drug use by teens probed High school athlete synthetic drug use growing

With Metropolitan Drug Commission having trained Knox County high school and middle school health and wellness teachers about synthetic drugs within the past nine months, Hardin Valley Academy principal Sallee Reynolds expressed concern about a key step in the enforcement process. Once observing evidence that a student might be using a synthetic drug, Reynolds said, “A lot of parents will immediate go get a drug test. When I heard Karen [Pershing] say that that’s not showing up on any drug screen, we’ve got to get that worked out. “That’s a big, big concern. I’m hearing it quite a bit lately.” Reynolds hosted Pershing, MDC executive director, and Knox County Attorney General Randy Nichols for “The Synthetics Scare,” a discussion about synthetic and prescription drug abuse, especially among youth, in front of about 30 people in HVA auditorium Tuesday evening, April 23. Detecting synthetic drugs is not possible “with a urine test,” Nichols warned, “but we can find out” through a blood test. However, even with a blood test, “That’s going to be a problem, too,” because synthetic drugs “dissipate too quickly, in fact,” he said. Nichols and Pershing said they were unsure whether or not a hair follicle sample could be used to detect synthetic drug use. Pershing said synthetic marijuana is growing in popularity “especially among high school athletes ... because it does not show up on a drug test. The chemical compound is different from the natural, illegal street drug.” Pershing recalled an incident within Knox County Schools Sept. 27, 2011, when “a 15-year-old high school student was causing a disturbance ... was basically out of control. ... He attacked the officers. ... It was found he had taken an overdose of a hallucinogen.” Pershing added that she was advised, “This was a very good student, a very good kid, and had never done anything like this.” About lasting effects from synthetic drugs, “We really don’t know long-term damage,” Pershing said. “They are so new.” As for parent responses, “The fact that synthetic drugs don’t show up in a regular drug test, that’s shocking. ... It was eye-opening,” said Susan Perry, whose two children, a senior and a freshman, attend HVA. Dan Doyle, a community health teacher at Tennessee Wesleyan College School of Nursing, has two sons, the younger a junior at Bearden High School. See DRUGS on Page 5A

Town proposes hotel/motel tax ■
STEPHANIE EDWARDS Correspondent
Town of Farragut administrator David Smoak presented a possible new hotel/motel tax during a special Board of Mayor and Aldermen workshop Thursday, April 25. The tax would require hotels and motels within town limits to pay a three percent tax to the town. This would be in addition to the five percent Knox County hotel/motel tax. Smoak said prior to 2003, cities were not permitted to charge hotel/motel tax if the county already had a tax structure in place and vice versa. It was at this time the following exceptions were made: If the county adjacent to the city has a commercial service airport The county has a 50,000-squarefoot or larger convention center with
a hotel that is attached or adjacent The city is in a county that has a regional airport “I believe we meet steps one and two,” Smoak said. “The BOMA will need four out of five members to vote yes in order to implement. We recommend that we designate the funds to be spent on tourism, parks and capital improvement projects that would go toward economic development and get people to come to our town.” Alderman Bob Markli expressed his concern. “I hate to see the town of Farragut institute a tax,” Markli said. “We’ve always been very tax neutral/business friendly, and now we’re talking about instituting a tax for the first time I think. I wonder do we really need it, or are we taking it as an opportunity to grab money?”
During the workshop and the subsequent Board of the Mayor and Aldermen meeting, Smoak stressed that the tax would not affect Town residents, but rather visitors and the hotels/motels. “We reviewed the local hotel rates and found a range of $70 to $189,” Smoak said. “We came up with an average of 70 percent occupancy, and we would generate $460,000 over the course of a year.” Smoak pointed out that the funds collected would help replace funding as the Hall Income Tax continues to decrease in the coming years, which will eventually be eliminated. The first reading of the proposed hotel/motel tax passed the BOMA vote. The hotel/motel tax addition will have to pass a second reading in order to go into effect.

Road construction breeds policereports homeowner concerns

A level of empathy has developed, resulting from traffic detours, during construction of Everett Road-Kingston Pike intersection the past 18 months. Judging by the reaction of two St. Andrews Drive residents in Fox Den subdivision, that empathy — from a handful of Fox Run residents who add to the detour traffic congestion along St. Andrews — is well placed. Tom Peebles, St. Andrews Drive resident, said traffic “has quadrupled from when normal
traffic moves through here,” adding his mailbox has been hit twice by cars going eastbound “coming up the hill around the curve and going too fast.” With two family dogs belonging to his daughter who “walks the dogs all the time,” Peebles added, “It’s almost impossible to walk dogs.” While intersection construction “is on schedule” according to Darryl Smith, town of Farragut engineer, Smith added, “the completion date is May 31.” A traffic light, turns lanes plus See ROADS on Page 3A

sidewalks and a walking trail along Everett Road are the main intersection improvements. Laura Elajam, St. Andrews resident, said, “It’s hard just getting out of the driveway. ... I’ll pull out of my driveway and next thing I know, there’s a car just right up on me. “I know that it is a lot heavier, a lot more congested,” she added. “People, evidently from other neighborhoods, they’re not watching their speed through here. Adults and young kids.” However, traffic is much heavier using either the Smith Road or Union Road-to-Smith Road detours, said Smith, based on “traffic counts.” “We’ve have a few complaints regarding the detour of Everett Road traffic down Union Road,” Smith added, pointing out that Smith Road is the “designated detour” to and from Everett. “Our counts, as well as our own observations, have shown that there’s really not very many people that have been taking St. Andrews through Fox Den.”

About the intersection improvements, Elajam said, “It needed to be done. It needed to be widened.” While saying she was surprised this project has taken so long to complete, Deborah Russell, Fox Run, referred to “the poor people in Fox Den, that re-routing. People walk their dogs all along that road all the time.” Also agreeing that intersection changes needed to be made, Russell and her husband, John, said they wouldn’t let their teenage children use the old Everett Road-Kingston Pike intersection. Sue Tucker, Fox Run, said, “I know Fox Den residents will be so happy to get us out of their subdivision. They’ve been very kind to let us go through.” About the new intersection, Tucker added, “That traffic light is badly needed.” Jon Craig, Fox Run, said Everett Road’s widening “is beyond what is necessary” because “from what I remember, on [the west side] of the road, they’re putting in a walking trail and a sidewalk. ...

“And then a sidewalk on the other side of the street as well. ... I think it’s overkill,” he added. Doug Boles, Everett Road — who pointed out that Everett Road is named after the family of his wife, Melissa — said “the

Karen Harper, Fox Run, said, “Although my kids are still young, I think about when they will begin driving and am glad they will have a safer way to turn onto Kingston Pike.”

townview: Dot LaMarche letterstotheeditor Saluting the Farragut Folklife Museum If you haven’t visited the Farragut Folklife Museum in the Farragut Town Hall, you have really missed an adventure in history. The town of Farragut is named in honor of James David Glasgow Farragut, the first four-star admiral of Dot the United States LaMarche Navy who Farragut was born Vice Mayor nearby and lived here for his first seven years before moving to New Orleans with his family. The museum is a treasure chest of artifacts and photographs, which tell the history of the Farragut and Concord communities. One of the highlights of the museum is the Adm. Farragut Collection, which includes an extensive display of the personal belongings of the admiral. Our first mayor, the late Robert H. Leonard, was responsible for the formation of the museum, which was originally a temporary exhibit for the Tennessee Homecoming program in 1986. The museum is one of the Town’s prime assets, and we are very fortunate to have a museum of this quality and historical significance in our Town. The Farragut Folklife Museum now is accepting memberships. The Town also is accepting volunteer committee applications, and applications for those interested in serving on the Farragut Folklife Museum Committee are due by May 10. Membership and committee applications can both be found at townoffarragut.org or at the Town Hall. There also is a need for more volunteers to serve as docents in the museum and gift shop. Contact museum coordinator Julia
Jones at 865-966-7057 for volunteer information. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Campbell Station — which took place Nov. 16, 1863 — and the museum will be holding several special events to commemorate this historic battle. • June 3 – Nov. 22, Special Exhibit: “The Battle of Campbell Station” • June 23, 2 p.m., Civil War Lecture: “The Battle of Campbell’s Station and the Struggle for East Tennessee in the Civil War,” Speaker: Dr. Earl Hess, Stewart W. McClelland Chair in History at Lincoln Memorial University • Aug. 24, 11:30 a.m., Kids Day at the Museum, entertainment, crafts and tours • Sept. 15, 2 p.m., Civil War Movie Night: “Gettysburg” • Nov. 16, 2 p.m., Civil War Lecture: “The Battle of Campbell Station,” Speaker: Gerald Augustus, historian. So plan a visit soon to the Farragut Folklife Museum located in the Town Hall at 11408 Municipal Center Drive. Admission is free. Hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For group tours, call 865-966-7057.
I read Ethan Young’s letter concerning the “School Technology Challenge” and was inspired by not just this young man’s drive and determination but rather his passion that he displayed in defending his school. I am a father of four children who all attend Farragut schools. I wholeheartedly agree with young Ethan’s take on how our wonderful schools are viewed by those outside of our township. We do perform above average for a public school, and that is not due to our “angelic gifting” as stated by Mr. Young, but by our excellent teachers and faculty coupled with the high standards that we hold our students to. I agree that Knox County does seem to “shunt” and punish us for our success, in some twisted hope of bringing us down to the county “norm.” What happened to the days when not everyone received a gold star but only those deserving? What happened to the days where you were applauded for excellence not disparaged? Young Ethan was concerned that few would read his words. I read them Ethan, as I am sure that many others did as well. I would have to disagree with him on one aspect though. He said because of Knox County’s slight toward our school our future would be lost.
presstalk • What is Bill Johns smoking or more accurately stated, what is he running for as his recent gushing letter about the political grandstanding going on regarding guns in Kennesaw, Ga., is just that, political grandstanding. Last I heard Farragut didn’t have a crime or murder or gang violence problem. Which leads us to conclude, this is a made-up issue by a wannabe candidate who was already beaten at the ballot box in an earlier campaign and who is desperate to get his 15 minutes of fame. • I am a lifetime and endowment member of the NRA and while I do support a law in Farragut that is similar to the law in Georgia, I do call into question the statistics stated in [April 18] guest column, in spe-
Y
cific that 85 percent of households in Farragut already own firearms. I don’t know where that came from and think it would be exceptionally high. If that number is correct we would be one of the most well-armed communities in the United States and quite frankly, if 85 percent of the people already own firearms such a law wouldn’t be needed because if you have this law passed you would expect at least 15 percent and probably more than 15 percent of the people would opt out of following this law. While I do support the law, I would like to know where this 85 percent number came from because I think that statistically it can’t be factually correct. • Just read the article about the new Farragut High School

I spent 10 years at Farragut High School and it was obvious to me it was placed near the bottom of the list by the Board of Education for infrastructure repairs, equipment and supplies.

We asked the other group to change their date, but they would not, and since both events included the public, town officials and local businesses, and we are “new kids on the block” we were forced to change our date from Friday, April 27. Our sincerest regrets for this inconvenience. All proceeds from the sale of the art will go to the Farragut parks. Again, thank you for your attendance and support of this wonderful event.

The sun was shining, the children laughing, streams gurgling, cameras clicking and paintbrushes were dancing over canvases. It was a glorious weekend in Farragut. I am referring to the recently held third annual Farragut Art in the Park. It was certainly the place to be as hundreds strolled through the parks and scenic areas around Farragut as artists from Knoxville and surrounding areas participated in the two-day event. This event is growing in popularity, so much so, that I met a gentleman that had read about it on the Internet and traveled from Michigan to attend. He was so impressed with the parks, quality of art work being created and the overall scenery in Farragut that he was returning to Michigan and recruiting other artists to sign up for next year. Thank you to the hundreds of people who attended the event and a special thank you to the artists and photographers who allowed us to observe as they created their pieces of art. I wish to also take a moment to thank the committee of volunteers that gave up many, many hours of their personal time to make this event such a success: Allison

struggling to raise funds for one computer at a time and our auditorium theater seats were cracked and many missing. The washroom had deteriorated to a disgusting and dangerous level. It was apparent County and school officials downtown helped only those schools near them and had an arrogant, snobbish attitude of looking down at Farragut. I’d hoped the situation had improved, but apparently not. I urge [inaudible] parents to organize, take Ethan Young’s ball and run with it. Specifically, this can start with a discussion of an action plan devised by the PTSO, but extending to us, the citizens of Farragut. Good luck. • Could it be that Farragut Middle School is dropping French just so the French students will then have to take language/reading arts TCAP tests just to improve Farragut Middle Schools scores? I thought the [inaudible] students that take French are students that scored very high on the language/reading arts and therefore didn’t have to take it. Now it sounds like they want them to take it next year just to improve their test scores, but will eliminate being able to take French. • A friend brought me a copy of a newspaper article by a woman who admitted she wasn’t a Farragut resident, but thought of herself as one because her kids went to Farragut High School and she shopped at Farragut stores. Well, there are folks who live in Loudon County who can make that same claim. Basically, though, what goes on
in Farragut is the business of Farragut voters and not outsiders in Knoxville, Knox County or Loudon County. I support having guns in every home and that woman should mind her own business and stay out of ours, or move into the town limits and vote like the rest of us. Thank you. • I think it’s a good idea that citizens be armed and if these Yankees don’t like it they can go back where they came from. • I vote absolutely no to any gun ordinance requiring guns in Farragut, Tenn. What a laughingstock we will be. Some of the people who are talking about this who are our leaders are highly clueless to believe that most people in this town have guns, much less carry guns. You’re scaring me to death to think that you’re walking around with a gun. No, no, no, this is not the 1800s. • I’m just calling to express an opinion on this issue or idea of Farragut becoming a mandatory gun town; it sounds funny, but like Kennesaw, Ga., but I think it’s a pretty interesting idea. It has some merit in terms of telling the criminals to go elsewhere, maybe telling people that we’re a type of pro-business and pro-freedom community. I think it’s good economically too. Anyway, just supporting the thought of it and the discussion of it. Thanks for listening to my opinion. • I think that requiring homeowners to keep a gun on hand is a good idea. Some of these other cities, like Washington, D.C., forbid it so I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t take it to the other extreme and say you will have a gun. I like the idea.

“I thought bath salts were bath salts, I didn’t know that,” Doyle added about a fictitious label for synthetic cathinones, which mimic methamphetamines and cocaine. “And I didn’t know they weren’t detectable with a urine test.” Mitzi McCurry, a wellness teacher at HVA, said, “One thing that I did not know, that synthetic drugs will not show up in a urine test.” Also, “The percentage was shocking when [Nichols] said 100 percent of everything that is in our legal system is drug or alcohol related,” McCurry said.
“I enjoyed all of the Tennessee statistics and Tennessee newspaper clippings,” she added. “I will use that in my classroom and talk to my students about those.” In Knox County based on a 2011 survey, “One in five of our teens has said they have used a prescription drug that was not prescribed to them,” Pershing said. “Most of your young people are actually getting these out of their family’s medicine cabinet.” Jim Dee, a former chemistry and environmental/physical sci-

Statewide, however, “This year ... we now have a law that they have passed. ... The governor is going to sign it” making synthetic drugs illegal “regardless of the chemical make-up” alteration, Nichols added.

Among a few hundred small children who will take a big life step by entering kindergarten at Farragut Primary School this fall, twins Catie and Caroline Hicks, 5,
have each other to lean on for support. “They are both are very energetic and excited. They want to take care of each other,” said their mother, Jennifer Hicks. “They share everything and they talk to each other about everything. So they have already talked to each other about what
they think kindergarten's going to be like for each other.” Hicks was among scores of parents having their future kindergarten children in tow during Kindergarten Round-up, a Knox County Schools open house opportunity to view each primary school’s overall facili-
ties, its kindergarten classrooms and some of the teachers and administrators parents will depend upon beginning in August 2013. Catie and Caroline, 5, stayed side-bySee FPS on Page 13A

Closing out a successful and fulfilling Admiral’s Performing Arts Company career with a state first-place award for storytelling, senior Paul Gary is finding his final few weeks at Farragut High School especially stressful. Among a highly successful senior APAC class that includes fellow state champions Skylar Grieco and Connor Hess, Gary is directing his first-ever APAC performance intended for public viewing.
Though praising his four-person cast as quick learners, “It’s more difficult than anything I’ve ever done,” said Gary, an aspiring professional actor, about the rigors of directing “Title of Show,” a musical that one APAC member labeled as “about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical.” “It’s been stressful, and the music is much more difficult than your typical high school show,” he added. However, “It’s a very interestSee GARY on Page 12A

deathnotices • MADIGAN, Dr. James, age 65, of Farragut passed away at his home, surrounded by his loving family Thursday morning, April 25, 2013. Dr. Madigan was a member of St. John Neumann C a t h o l i c Church. He had a wonderful life of boundless energy, gene r o s i t y, accomplishment and was esteemed for his decency Madigan and integrity. Dr. Madigan was a compassionate clinician and his career as a periodontist and dental educator spanned four decades. He will be forever known for his chairside manner, excellence in dentistry and sense of humor. Dr. Madigan calmed his patient’s fears by saying he was the guardian angel of their teeth. Dr. Madigan was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and graduated from Wheeling Jesuit University. He earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Georgetown University School of Dentistry and completed his periodontal residence at Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry. He was a loving and devoted husband, father and most recently, grandfather. His favorite time was spent traveling with his family, mentoring his son and daughter in dentistry, and watching “chic flicks” with his wife. As a testament to lifelong passion of dentistry, his son and daughter both followed in his professional footsteps. Dr. Madigan was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Madigan and his twin-sister, Helen Seltzer. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Marianne Madigan; son and daughter-in-law, Dr. Michael Madigan and Lauren Chobanian Madigan; daughter and son-in-law, Dr. Courtney Conway and Michael Conway; grandchildren, Sebastian James Madigan and Annie Clare Conway; brothers and sisters-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Madigan, Jr. and Dr. and Mrs. Robert R. Madigan; mother-inlaw, Roxanne Thorpe and numerous nieces and nephews. The family of Dr. Madigan wishes to express a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Alan Grossman, Dr. David Slutzker, friends, colleagues, patients, and to all of Dr. Madigan’s devoted staff who have continuously
shown overwhelming kindness throughout his life. The family will receive friends from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 28, 2013 with a Rosary to follow at 4 p.m. in the Click Funeral Home Farragut Chapel. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Monday, April 29, 2013 at St. John Neumann Catholic Church with Father Christopher Riehl, celebrant.

Comic Book Day set ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
For comic book fans, the first weekend in May means two things: a Marvel movie is opening in theaters and Free Comic Book Day. Free Comic Book Day is a national event, in which specially promoted comic books are given away at comic book stores for free. One such store that is participating in the day, which happens on the first Saturday in May, is Snake Eyes Comics along Kingston Pike. Store co-owner Jonathan Beckner is no stranger to the medium. He says he has been a fan of comic books since he was 3 or 4 years old. He still remembers his first

comic book – 1991’s “X-Men” No. 1, which also was the best-selling comic book of all time. “We were in a grocery store, my parents were, and I bugged them until they bought it for me, basi-
cally,” Beckner said. He was already familiar with the characters through the ‘90s Fox animated series about the XSee COMIC on Page 12A

High School combine Saturday at KCHS
I think I’ve become my mother When I was young, sometimes my mother would ask me to do something for no good reason. L i k e , “ P a m , please clean out the dog’s dish and feed her before we go.” I was a Pam c u r i o u s Young child and I Make it probably Fun! wore out the word “why,” because when I’d use it she’d invariably say, “Just because I said so!” I hated that! I vowed when I grew up and had children, that I’d never say, “Just because I said so!” Instead I would explain, lovingly to the questioning child what my reasons were. I’d take time to make sure my children understood. Ha! I probably said, “Just because I said so,” a thousand times more than Mom ever did. Mom passed away in 1999 and in recent years, I realize I don’t miss her now as much as I did, because I think I’ve turned into her! I hear her laugh when I laugh; I hear her grunt when I lean over to pick something up from the floor. I hear her sigh at a beautiful sunrise or coo holding
an infant. When I least expect it she’s right there. And just like breaking my vow on the just because sentence, I’m doing the very things she used to do that bugged me when I was younger. The other day I was trying to remember Laura Linney’s name to my daughter, and Mom was right there as I tried to recall Laura’s name. “You know that blonde actress.” “Blond actress?” “Yeah, the one that’s really beautiful and she’s been in a lot of movies with. . . oh what’s his name, you know the guy with blue eyes.” “Mom, there are lots of beautiful blond actresses who’ve been in lots of movies with guys with blue eyes.” “Her hair is long and she wears it up a lot.” “Oh, now that helps!” “Let’s see, she was in that movie, what was it called? It was about a president who has a major stroke and his aid tries to cover it up. She played the president’s girlfriend?” “President’s girlfriend, uhh, I don’t know that movie.” “Oh, you do too! I know you saw it. And you love that actor that played the president, I can’t think of his name, he’s real cute, and in that movie he played two people, the president who had the stroke and the look alike. Oh the look alike was Dave! That’s
the movie, DAVE!” “Oh, yeah, Kevin Kline played Dave, but what actress, Sigourney Weaver was the co-star.” “No, not Sigourney Weaver, she’s a brunette with short hair. This one played the president’s girlfriend. Oh what’s her name? I think it starts with an M! She was real young then and had a small part. You know she was in that series about Adams and she played Adam’s wife Abigail. Maybe her name starts with an A! Oh well, I’ll probably think of it in the middle of the night.” Indeed, that’s what happened as my brain relaxed during sleep (probably akin to defragging) and scanned its files, finally coming to the Ls (without having to scan the Ms) and behold Laura Linney came forward. I know both my daughters roll their eyes when they see my name on their caller ID, and I wouldn’t doubt they’ve made similar vows as I have in my life. I just hope they love me as much as I love my mom. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers of the world. For more from Pam Young go to www.makeitfunanditwillgetdone.com.

As a former Farragut Admiral football player in the late 1970s, Bryan Butler could have used the very South Eastern Challenge Combine he’s helped develop for aspiring high school players looking to be noticed by colleges. An FHS defensive back, “I played behind Bill Bates, so I didn't even get a chance to play until my senior year [fall of 1979/Class of 1980] because Bill was one
grade ahead of me,” said Butler, combine director, looking to promote this inaugural skills showcase for players age 14 and older in Knoxville Catholic High School's Blaine Stadium starting at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 4. Such an opportunity is critical “if you go to a smaller high school, or if you had the misfortune of playing behind a star athlete the year before,” added Butler, owner of Workout See CHALLENGE on Page 14A

Men. He watched that and “Batman: The Animated Series” the most as a child, he said. “So it was like, ‘Oh, hey, these are the same characters that I see on the TV show doing something else,’ and I could follow those characters as well as I wanted to, so that was what got me into it,” he said. While comic books do not populate grocery stores as much as they used to, Beckner sees the same trend on the retailer side at his comic shop. “Anything that’s got a TV series or a movie attached to it, people go nuts for,” he said.

A special “Walking Dead” comic book is among the offerings on Free Comic Book Day, as well as a “Superman” book in advance of the new “Man of Steel” movie this summer. Free Comic Book Day makes comics accessible, Beckner said. “It’s a good way for the kids to get into the books without having to spend any money,” he said.

ater piece, “Calvin and Hobbes.” Three other APAC members, Boudreaux (fifth, Solo Acting), Bridget Sellers (third, Poetry), and Kaci Deakins (sixth, Costume Design), also finished in the top six. Selllers also finished firstplace in Creative Writing during inaugural Bijou Awards contest in Knoxville earlier this spring. Lea McMahan, FHS drama teacher, said about APAC’s 201213 performances, “I think this year has been so successful overall because of the blend of talent and hard-work of our senior class. “Yes, they are a talented bunch, but what really makes the difference is their work ethic and their drive to improve — to get better at acting, to get better at production,” McMahan added. “And most of these seniors have worked in our program for their entire four years at FHS. I’m glad they’ve achieved so much but I also know it didn't happen overnight.”

Ashlee Shipp said her daughter, Sydney, 4, is excited to be “‘with the big kids ... the schoolagers’” at FPS. “I've heard really good things about the Farragut schools, but
this is my first time actually seeing the facility,” Shipp added. “It looks very nice. I'm glad to get to look around to get an idea of what will be going on.” With Sydney her oldest child, Shipp said she’s also going through a learning phase. “It's bitter-sweet; it's sad she's growing up fast. But it's exciting, too. I'm excited for her,” Shipp said. Allison Elliott and her daughter, Madalyne, 5, were among the rotating band of parents and
future FPS kindergarteners visiting Christianson's class. “I learned that it’s very important to have all your paperwork organized for these ladies that are so graciously good to our children,” said Elliott, also having 19month son, Ronnie, in tow. Having gone through this process before with Alexander, now a 15-year-old Farragut High School freshman, Elliott said that was “a long time ago. ... I feel like it's an all new process again.”

Anytime, 9965 Kingston Pike and also in Fountain City. “So they can either possibly get more scholarship offers, but at least possibly have the ability to play college football.” Butler labels this event “a pro style combine, which means they’ll be doing the 40-yard dash, 20-yard short shuttle, 3 cone drill, the [standing] vertical jump, the [standing broad] jump. ... These things generally are more agility and speed and quickness and foot skills.” Drills also include bench press. Among top college players now in the NFL “who have given us a verbal commitment that they are going to be coming” include “Harrison Smith, he said he’s going to be showing up,” Butler said about the former Catholic High and Notre Dame University star now a starting safety with the Minnesota Vikings. “But you never know about these guys until they are actually there, because their schedules change.”
Tim Hathaway
Another local star possibly attending, according to Butler, is Reggie McKenzie, former UT AllSEC and NFL All-Pro offensive lineman who’s now general manager of the Oakland Raiders. “And we have numerous ex-UT football players who say they're going to attend,” Butler added. Cost is $50. To register, visit www.SECcombine.org “You can actually come the day of [the combine] and get in,” Butler said. For any college coaches unable to attend, ‘We’re going to post the individual results of the combine on the website,” Butler said. Butler also is founder of Kids Team, for which all combine proceeds will be directed. “We help the families of newly diagnosed cancer patients at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital,” Butler said. “If we end up making any money we want it to go to a non-profit.” Roughly one week before the combine, Eddie Courtney, Farragut High School football head coach, said 13 of his Admirals players had signed up.

Zombie From page 6A
Alan Sloan/farragutpress
During HVA Liberal Arts “Zombie Pandemic Project” presentations Wednesday, April 17, the two-man senior team of Evan Humphreys, left, and John Intemann told about their zombie outbreak survival handbook, which included creating special “handsignals.”
“Zombie Pandemic Project,” engaging all students with a fun theme, zombies, but creating a serious challenge: a nationwide zombie pandemic and all the survival problems it created. “The idea came to me last summer; [it] was to help kids to identify with the real world applications of each one of our four academies,” said Combs, Liberal Arts Academy administrator, who joined Sharon Cates, Liberal Arts dean, to judge best Liberal Arts presentations. Academy deans and administrators special to STEM, Health & Science and Business Law Public Affairs academics also judged their respective academy’s advisories. Each academy dealt with a zombie pandemic problem appropriate
for that academy’s discipline. The project began in January before ending in mid-April. Twelve grand winners, three from each of the four academies, were selected late last week. Those 12 individual presentations were to be combined into one overall video production “to be presented May 1,” Combs said. (Combs had not released winning names as of deadline this week.) Each freshman through senior participated school-wide (about 1,800 students), consisting of two- to eight-member teams each — all required to be within the same academy advisory. The project was a school-wide focus each Wednesday morning from 11 to 11:30 a.m. Humor was used to score grade points as judged by Liberal Arts zombie project final presentations held for about 40 minutes Wednesday morning, April 17.
The two-man senior team of Evan Humphreys and John Intemann created a zombie outbreak survival handbook, which included creating special “handsignals” to warn zombies are coming, for example, and giving precise details how to, for example, effectively kill a zombie. “What we suggest is finding an object about two feet long, free to go through the eye. It’s not pretty,” Evan said to laughs. After the duo’s presentation, Humphreys said, “The main thing we got out of it was the idea of how to maintain humanity and ethics. … How to think about other people while still surviving … it seems like it’s a really hard process because your natural instinct is to survive.” Intemann said, “Everyone’s trying to survive for themselves and take all that they can, just kind of hoard their supplies.”

Beautiful spring weather in the late morning and early afternoon hours of Saturday, April 13, greeted all attendees for this annual town of Farragut-sponsored event in Campbell Station Park. Featured activities included children’s book authors allowing their works to be sampled and bought at booths, Storytelling With Miss Lynn, a children’s book giveaway just outside of Farragut Branch Library entrance, magical entertainment from Michael Messing, musical entertainment including Conny Ottway and Samantha Hatmaker, Ruff Reading Program (children reading to dogs) and inflatable slides. Free hot dogs, popcorn and lemonade helped refresh the crowd. Emery Adams, 2

Auction sets attendance record ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
The Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce’s 26th annual silent and live auction had the largest auction crowd ever, said Bettye Sisco, Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce CEO and president. “The event is absolutely magnificent,” Sisco said at the event April 26 at Rothchild Catering & Conference Center. “We have 270-plus people. We have an overflow already. We have over 300 businesses represented.” Stephanie Barnes, of Tennessee State Bank, said there were 26 decorated tables that were auctioned off. “Everything on the table is auctioned,” Barnes said. “And also all the tabletops provide a little takeaway gift for everybody that sits at the table. So everybody will get a little gift to take home with them, which normally is coordinated with the theme of the table. But then, when somebody buys the table, they get everything on the table: they get, if there’s any gift cards, if there’s any trips, all the decorations, everything goes with them.” Playing into the night’s theme of “Turning Dreams into Reality,” each table sought to

finish the sentence that began, “I just want to,” and the winner of the best dressed table award was Highland West Memorial Park’s “I just want to complete
my bucket list.” The tabletop had buckets full of goodies, as well as Polaroidstyle pictures with phrases that seemed to also finish the “I just
want to” sentence. Some of the phrases included “attend the Olympics,” “get a tattoo” and “visit the Eiffel Tower at night.” Some of the prizes on the table were horseback riding from Douglas Lakeview Stables, a helicopter ride from Scenic Helicopter Tours and a dinner for six by a gourmet chef from Carmella’s Riverside Grill. Barnes, who helped coordinate the tabletop sponsors, said the bucket-list table had some great items. “There’s all kinds of cool things you might want to do to make life interesting,” she said. This year’s charity, Dream Connection, received 15 percent of ticket sales. Farrell Levy, president of the Dream Connection board, said it is an all-volunteer organization that “provides dreams to children who have life-threatening illnesses.” “Most of the children that we deal with are going through a very traumatic time, as are their families,” Levy said. “And doing a dream, we give the family and the child something to look forward to, while they’re undergoing treatment, and they get away from the treatment and the bad things that are happening to the child.”
Wine store marks 10 years
■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
When Herman Gettelfinger and his two brothers opened Magnolia Package Store in the early 1960s, there were only two wines on the shelf. “One was Mogen David, and the other kind of wine was called Thunderbird,” said Jeff Gettelfinger, Herman’s son. Herman Gettelfinger said Thunderbird sold for $1, and Mogen David went for about $1.40. Now Herman Gettelfinger owns Turkey Creek Wine & Spirits, with his son as general manager, and wine is the specialty. “We’re the biggest wine store in Knox County, with a bigger selection than any other store in town, currently carrying over 3,000 [different kinds of wine],” Jeff Gettelfinger said. For Turkey Creek Wine & Spirits, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, having the best wine selection is the top priority, Jeff Gettelfinger said.
“We always have to have the biggest and best wine selection in town,” he said. “I pretty much like to say that we have a milliondollar inventory at all times.” Respect for customers’ taste is important, he said. “We don’t try to sell people something that costs more than what they’re used to,” he said. “We don’t ever criticize someone for their wine purchases. The most important thing about wine is that you like it and that you enjoy it. If it tastes good to you, then it is good. It doesn’t matter what any critic or any wine snobs think. We also don’t allow any snobbery or snobbish attitudes from our employees or staff at any time.” Customers’ favorite wines change, he said. “We’ve been responsible for introducing the city to numerous new wineries out of this store that besides being a launching point here, we’re also a bit of a test market in this store,” he said. “If something doesn’t succeed here, it’s not going to succeed in Knoxville.” An anniversary sale started

May 1, he said. “We’re basically going to have the entire wine and spirits selection on sale, and right now, I don’t know how long it’s going to last or what, but it’s going to be big,” he said before the sale. Jeff Gettelfinger was a bartender and an actor.
He acted in commercials, including ones for Dollywood and Ruby Tuesday, he said. Jeff Gettelfinger estimates he acted from 2003 until 2010, but he never had a passion for acting. The store at 10903 Turkey Drive, is open 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

opening to discuss the oftunsung “volunteer.” A way to earn exposure for a business is to volunteer. Farragut Art in the Park volunteers included: Robin Purvis, event cochair (Farragut Wine & Spirits); Marcia Shelly, event co-chair (artist); Stephanie Erb, youth subcommittee chair (Neighbormaker Events); Darla Berdal (Myers Bros Holdings); Laura Comas (Allied Music Instructors); Carla Lyle (BB&T);
Natalie Swindell (community volunteer); with assistance from Debi Tuttle (The Town Framery) and the town parks & recreation and public works staffs. Volunteering is a fabulous way for your business to get outside its four walls to make a positive impact in the community. It is networking on a more intimate level. Whether serving on a planning committee or executing an event, volunteering allows you to work with folks who harbor
mutual appreciation for their community. In my old business books, this concept was described as “goodwill.” I’d take it one step further and describe it as “greatwill.” The sincerely offered “great” that you put out there as a business person comes back to you and your business tenfold.

ence. “He has a chance to be a pretty good player,” Farragut head coach Matt Buckner said of Pence. “He gave us some breathing room.” For his part, Pence was happy after the Ads (22-7) walked off the field with a big non-district victory that came on the heels of Farragut’s District 4-AAA win versus William Blount 24 hours earlier. The win against the Governors gave the Admirals a regular-season district championship. “It felt good,” Pence said of his home run. “After making outs, I figured out what I had to do right.” Farragut took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning

On a night that honored baseball’s past, Farragut High School might’ve gotten a glimpse of its program’s future when freshman third baseman Duncan Pence hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning of a 6-1 victory over Gibbs Thursday, Admirals 6 April 25 on Turn Eagles 1 Back the Clock Night at John Heatherly Field. Pence’s round-tripper wasn’t a game winner but it gave the Admirals a pair of insurance runs. It also was hit with a wooden bat and loudly announced the rookie’s pres-

KEN LAY Correspondent
Gus Green had to make some clutch late saves to preserve Farragut High School’s soccer victory Friday night. Green, a senior goalkeeper and first-year player, turned back a barrage of scoring chances to seal FHS’s 2-0 victory over Science Hill before a packed house at Farragut Soccer Stadium April 26. He was credited with six official saves but he also stopped several other scoring opportunities against the Hilltoppers (9-4-1). “I had to work as hard as I’ve ever worked but it was the most fun that I’ve ever had,” said Green, who made a clutch stop with just under 11 minutes left and the Ads clinging to a 1-0 lead. “This is my first year [play-
ing soccer] and I’m just amazed with myself.” Farragut’s rookie senior netminder also made three consecutive stops in the final 2 minutes, 15 seconds, with Science Hill attackers swarming the net, to help the Admirals (12-3) hang on and Admirals 2 win. “I was Hilltoppers 0 just chasing after the balls and I felt like I was a magnet,” Green said. Farragut head coach Wallie Culbreth has been praising Green’s effort all season, and Friday night’s match against a valiant rival certainly didn’t change that. “I’ve told everybody since the fourth game of the year that he would be in the MLS by the end See SOCCER on page 4B

Senior’s run caps Hardin Valley’s Senior Night rally ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
On Hardin Valley Academy baseball Senior Night, one Hawks senior contributed big to cap a seventh-inning rally. Senior Drew Cornwell, a backup infielder who started at third base against Jefferson County, drove in the tying run in the bottom of the seventh, then scored the walkoff winHawks 7 ning run Patriots 6 on a wild pitch in a 7-6 Hawks victory Thursday, April 25, at HVA. Reaching base three times while making a nice bare-handed scoop-and-throw for an out in the Patriots’ fourth inning, Cornwell said his game-winning run was “a huge, huge moment in the game. Adrenaline rush, a good way to end off my senior year in the regular season. “It’s definitely sweeter when you get in there and you get a chance, and you prove to everybody why you got that chance.” Cornwell reached base on his RBI grounder following a shortstop error. Anthony Gambuzza, junior cen-

ter-fielder, began the rally with a double down the third base line, then advanced to third on a groundout before scoring on Cornwell’s grounder to shortstop. “I think it was a fastball inside,” Gambuzza said about the pitch he hit. “I told myself I was going to go up there and I was going to get a good pitch to hit.” The Hawks improved to 19-7 overall after the win while ending as District 3-AAA regular season champs, perfect at 10-0.

single. He scored on a two-out double down the first-base line by Sully Smoak. Each team struck big in the first inning. Jefferson County scored three times off senior Garret Butler, HVA starting pitcher, who settled down quite well after that rocky first inning (four innings, three earned runs, six hits, no walks and one strikeout). Hardin Valley answered back with four runs during its first atbat. Dylan Harris’ two-RBI double scored Seth Hunt, who singled, and Vinny Gambuzza, who walked. Will Neely’s two-RBI single scored Harris and Anthony
Gambuzza, who singled. Tying the game 4-4 in the fifth, JCHS went ahead 6-4 in the sixth on three hits plus a walk and hit batter. Senior staff ace Tommy Weiler relieved senior Cole Brill, but allowed a walk and single before escaping further damage. Hawks catcher Landon Beyer gunned down a JCHS base-runner at second base in the sixth. Weiler overcame an infield single and hit batter in the Jeff County seventh, striking out the last two batters with no runs scoring. Weiler also picked off a Jeff County base-runner at second base for the first out.

Chambers, the Admirals’ cleanup hitter, started the inning with a long single off the right field fence. He took second on an Eagles’ error. He later scored on Brett Hagenow’s single. Farragut used another defensive miscue by Gibbs and an RBI groundout by Sam Schultze. Meanwhile, Patrick Raby, the Admirals sophomore starting pitcher, cruised through the first four innings. He surrendered a single to Brad Cottrill to open the game before getting three consecutive strikeouts to end the inning. He hit Cottrill in the top of the third. Raby gave up a single to Taylor McMurray in the fourth but got out of the inning with the help of a double play. “Patrick pitched well,” Buckner said. “He was pounding the zone and he really did a good job.” Raby said he had a good outing against a good hitting Gibbs team. “I felt amazing and I was pounding the strike zone,” said Raby, who gave up one run, three hits and one walk. He struck out seven and hit a batter before giving way to senior reliever Chris Hutson, who retired the Eagles (19-10) in order in the seventh. “It was great to see Patrick
of the season,” Culbreth said. “This is his first year playing soccer and he does all the little things right. “Gus is a natural athlete and tonight, he made big saves all over the place.” The Farragut fans also appreciated the effort from Green, a former Admirals lacrosse player, on this night. The spectators, many Farragut students, showered Green with praise during the postgame cool-down. Farragut got a stellar effort between the goalposts when it was needed most. The Admirals and the Hilltoppers played an intense game and the two teams were locked in a scoreless tie at halftime. Farragut’s victory was big because the Admirals likely will see Science Hill again in the Sectional round of the playoffs when a state tournament berth will be hanging in the balance. “Science Hill and DobynsBennett will be the opponents we’ll see when they come from their region to ours [in the Section 1-AAA round],” Culbreth said. Scoring chances and goals were at a premium Friday night. Farragut’s Fletcher Ekern broke the scoreless tie with an unassisted marker in the 54th minute. The score remained 1-0 until

pitch well because we’re going to need him in the postseason,” Chambers said. “He pitched well against a team that can really swing it.” Raby found himself in trouble in the top of the fifth inning. Gibbs scored its lone run of the contest in the frame on an RBI single by Cottrill that plated Trey Carpenter, who walked to lead off the inning. Raby, however, escaped further damage when Zach Ogle rapped into a double play. “That double play was really big,” Buckner said. The Ads missed a chance to really blow things open in the
bottom of the inning. Farragut had three base runners in the frame thanks to another Gibbs error and a pair of walks. Gibbs wiggled out of the jam when Admirals catcher David Logan struck out to end the inning. Raby then closed his appearance by retiring Gibbs in order in the sixth. He had two strikeouts to end the inning. Eagles starter Andrew Willis exited after the with two outs bottom of the fifth. Reliever Justin Dickerson fanned Logan to end the inning. Farragut’s sixth-inning rally started with a one-out single by Schuettler, who went 2-for-3 and scored on Pence’s homer.
freshman midfielder Dami Omitaomu scored the Admirals’ second goal with 1:08 remaining. Ethan Snow picked up an assist on that tally. “When I was running, Ethan got me the ball and I was thinking that I needed to score this goal and help my team win this game,” Omitaomu said. “After I scored the goal, I was feeling really happy. “My freshman year has been good so far. The seniors and the older guys have really helped me out.” For his part, Culbreth couldn’t have been happier. The Admirals hit a rough patch earlier in April. Farragut lost a game to close the Palmetto Cup in South Carolina and then came home and dropped a District 4AAA match to Maryville. The Ads then beat Heritage before losing to Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett and routing rival Bearden on the road on April 19. “We hit a bump in the road but since we hit that bump, we’re averaging four goals per game and we haven’t given up any,” Culbreth said. “We haven’t been scored on since we hit that bump.” Farragut, which defeated Lenoir City Tuesday, April 23, to close the district portion of its schedule, has a 6-1 conference record and will likely be the No. 2 seed in next week’s District 4AAA Tournament.

Famous Quotes for Mother's Day
M
other's Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world. Many countries and cultures choose to celebrate Mother's Day in March, April or May. Though the Mother's Day many people know today dates back a little more than a century, historians note that ancient Romans kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of the Gods. In addition, Europe has several traditions aimed at honoring mothers that date back quite a while. One of the traditions associated with the current Mother's Day is to give Mom a gift. Some people only give their own mothers and wives gifts, while others extend their generosity to sisters with children, mothers-in-law and even grandmothers. Chances are, over the years Mom's gifts have run the gamut, from a homemade treasure kids made in elementary school to jewelry from hubby to breakfast in bed. For those who want to add a literary tilt to their Mother's Day gift this year, consider including any of the following motherly quotes when preparing a gift Mom won't soon forget.
