Town leaders attend ICSC, Vegas ■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

A group of five Town representatives went to the International Council of Shopping Centers RECon Global Convention, which took place May 19-22, in Las Vegas. According to a press release, “The following people attended on behalf of the town of Farragut: Town administrator David Smoak; Town assistant administrator Gary Palmer; Mayor Ralph McGill; Farragut Business Alliance president David Purvis; and Farragut Economic Development Committee member Jim Nixon.” This is the fifth time the Town has been represented at the convention, the press release stated. “We talked with developers, tenant representatives, retailers all over the country, trying to promote Farragut and get more business to our Town,” Smoak said. The convention represents a rare chance, he

added. “There’s retailers there,” he said. “There are brokers there, but every major retailer in the country goes to this convention, and it’s really the big dealmaking area for many of these retailers and developers for the year. So it’s not often that you get an opportunity to have everybody under one roof and be able to go and meet with some of these folks that you typically wouldn’t be able to meet.” The group met with several different people at the convention, he said. “We met with major retailers, big box, small box and tenant reps for those different retailers, so I think it’s encouraging,” he said. “Hopefully, over the next year, we’ll hear maybe some more good things coming, but with Turkey Creek being as successful as it has been, that really puts Farragut on the map and this area on the map with retailers.

Everett Road reopens with new traffic signal ■ ALAN SLOAN

Traffic was a bit heavy around 11 a.m., Wednesday, May 22, on the first full day of new Everett RoadKingston Pike intersection being open to the public.

Roughly 19 months after breaking loose the first square footage of concrete and asphalt, and about nine years after first being planned, a newly constructed Everett RoadKingston Pike intersection deemed much safer opened May 21. In terms of Town

expenses, construction costs were considered a bargain. Finishing “ahead of schedule” by 10 days, “The primary reason for the project was to be able to install that center-turn lane [700-foot stretch] and traffic signal in order to accommodate a safe turning movement onto Everett Road,” said Chris Jenkins, assistant Town Engineer.

Cokesbury names new pastor

■

COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com

The Rev. Stephen DeFur is slated to be the new senior pastor at Cokesbury United Methodist Church, effective June 12, church officials announced. After the death of senior pastor Dr. Steve Sallee, Bishop Mary Virginia Taylor of the Holston Conference and the Rev. Nathan Malone, Knoxville district superintendent, named a new leader for the church. Sallee, former senior pastor of Cokesbury UMC, died at the age of 61 in Parkwest Medical Center Thursday, May 2. With a team of support-

ers behind him, though, “he has now found peace,” as Steve’s obituary, stated. “He was a powerful man, a powerful figure, and [maintained] a powerful position,” DeFur said. As he prepares to fulfill this “powerful position,” DeFur is aware that he is expected to continue Sallee’s vision of expansion for the church. “It’s a big deal, because I get to follow in the footsteps of my best friend. It’s a massive deal because of our friendship,” he said. Sallee and DeFur came to Cokesbury at the same time through a mutual friend and grew to become best friends while working and serving together.

“Particularly if you’re coming eastbound. What happened there, if you were making a left turn while you’re headed eastbound on Kingston Pike, you were turning out of what was essentially the fast lane, the left-hand lane. “We had several accidents that had occurred there,” he added. “You’re not expecting somebody to be turning so much out of

the fast lane. “This will add a safety element to that intersection, plus having the traffic signal. And also will allow safer turning out of Everett Road onto Kingston Pike, both directions.” Project included widening the bridge that runs above Little Turkey Creek to five lanes, plus five-foot See ROAD on Page 3A

While one major U.S. company said it would eagerly endorse the smooth process of establishing its Farragut location, Farragut’s top two elected officials, plus other Town and business leaders, traveled to Las Vegas and Chicago last month to recruit, learn and share. “This was a convention where we go visit retailers and shopping centers, developers and all that stuff. Trying to recruit businesses for Farragut,”

Mayor Ralph McGill said about attending the International Council of Shopping Centers RECon Global Convention in Las Vegas, May 19-22, during the Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting Thursday evening, May 23. “And we sowed some seeds.” Meanwhile, “We did get one new endorsement, from Costco,” McGill said during Mayor’s Report. “We made a courtesy visit, [to] tell them we’re glad they’re in the Town. “The fellow we met with was pretty high ranked.

Former FHS, Vol athlete convicted policereports • Police Reports will return next week.

BOSTON – A former Farragut High School and Vol athlete and Orthofix, Inc., territory manager was convicted for health care fraud and paying kickbacks May 14. Hunter A. Rigsby, 33, of Farragut, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV to health care fraud and paying kickbacks. According to federal documents, Rigsby was a territory manager for Orthofix, a company that sold bone growth stimulator medical devices. Bone growth stimulators are used by patients who have broken bones or spinal fusions that are not healing properly. From 2005 through 2011, Rigsby sold Orthofix bone growth stimulators in Tennessee. Medicare only pays for “long bone” stimulators when at least 90 days have elapsed without clinically significant healing, and it only covers certain types of injuries. Rigsby was well-aware of these guidelines, having received training on these guidelines at Orthofix. On numerous occasions, doctors in Rigsby’s territory ordered bone growth stimulators that did not satisfy Medicare’s guidelines. When this occurred, Rigsby often forged the patient’s medical records to make it appear as though the claim was payable under Medicare’s guidelines, when in fact Medicare should not have paid the claim. Rigsby also deleted portions of physicians’ chart notes that

described patients’ injuries that were not covered by Medicare and changed the note to make it appear as though the patients had injuries that were covered. On some occasions, Rigsby submitted orders where the physician had not ordered a bone growth stimulator at all. Rigsby also forged physicians’ signatures on prescriptions and Medicare Certificates of Medical Necessity. In July 2009, Orthofix fired Rigsby after discovering his fraud scheme. Immediately thereafter, Rigsby and Orthofix sales personnel devised a scheme to allow Rigsby to continue to submit bone growth stimulator orders to Orthofix through a new front company that Rigsby created. Rigsby took numerous steps to conceal his affiliation with the front company so that Orthofix compliance personnel would not detect that he was still doing business with the company. Rigsby continued to submit orders for stimulators, sending the orders in through separate individuals. Even though Rigsby had been fired for falsifying medical records, he continued to manipulate patient medical records and forge physicians’ signatures until Orthofix finally severed its relationship with him in 2011. Through his scheme, Rigsby caused Medicare and other federal insurance programs to pay more than $400,000 for bone

growth stimulators that should not have been paid. Rigsby also paid kickbacks to health care professionals to induce them to order Orthofix stimulators. In addition to the Rigsby sentence, the Orthofix investigation has to date resulted in a number of felony charges against employees and contractors of Orthofix. Saylor scheduled sentencing for Aug. 9. The statutory maximum penalty on the charge of health care fraud is 10 years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, a fine of $250,000 or twice the loss or gain resulting from the crime, whichever is greater, forfeiture, restitution and a mandatory special assessment. The statutory maximum penalty on the charge of paying kickbacks is five years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, a fine of $250,000 or twice the loss or gain resulting from the crime, whichever is greater, forfeiture, restitution and a mandatory special assessment.

done for 17 years … continue to serve and build relationships,” he added. Cokesbury currently holds worship services at three campuses, has numerous ministries, and plans on starting an online community in about six weeks, a project that has been in the works for almost eight months. “We’re treating it like a campus, a live worship event. Now we won’t just be at Cokesbury,” said DeFur, mentioning the opportunities the church has to

grow in cities such as Asheville, Chattanooga and Nashville, just to name a few. “It helps people get introduced, to watch us,” DeFur said. Cokesbury Minister of Discipleship Rebekah Fetzer said she is excited to continue the vision, as well. “[We have] some new outreach initiatives to roll out. That excites me. Ways to reach out that we haven’t before, and certainly working with Stephen as senior pastor is great,” Fetzer said.

LCUB ponders $75k water meter upgrade

■

COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com

Lenoir City Utilities Board plans to replace existing water meters with new, leak detecting meters. In order to make these improvements, LCUB must sign a $75,000 contract with Johnson Patrols to begin in-depth evaluations to see exactly how the water

said, ‘We had such an easy time building this store in Farragut,’” McGill added. “’If you need to convince anybody, need any help to convince anybody to come to Farragut, tell them to call us.’ So, that was pretty sweet, I thought. It was a great endorsement.” The Vegas convention “is the largest ‘deal-making’ conference of its kind and attracts the upper echelon of commercial businesses, land developers, state/local governments and related entities,” a Town press release stated. David Smoak, Town administrator, said the convention “was very productive. We met with some really good tenant reps,

system can best improve. The agreement with Johnson Controls allows them to perform a detailed engineering analysis of LCUB’s water system by evaluating its water meters and noting the amount that need replaced. This evaluation will continue through August, when the number of needed replacements is concrete, as well as when the

check made to Johnson Patrols needs signed. LCUB general manager Shannon Littleton said replacing meters and going through with a leak detection program will “aid in LCUB potential water loss and be more efficient.”

developers, you name it that are interested in our community and what we’re trying to offer here.” Other attendees included Gary Palmer, Town assistant administrator; David Purvis, Farragut Business Alliance president, and Jim Nixon, Farragut Economic Development Committee member. Town representatives also attended a reception for Knoxville brokers, developers and realtors sponsored by FPA, town of Farragut and Horne Properties, Inc. Also during Mayor’s Report, Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche thanked the Town “for allowing me to go to the Women in Municipal Government” convention in Chicago in mid-May. “I’m on the board now. … It gave me an opportunity to exchange

views with women across the United States.” “We had the opportunity to visit Gary, Ind. Unfortunately, it is a very sad city at this time,” she added. “At one time they had over 200,000 people living in Gary. They have a U.S. Steel plant there. There are only 90,000 people living there now. A lot of unemployment.” “The one thing that really impressed me, though, are the people that are left that were involved in our meeting, were very upbeat about trying to restore their town and bringing it back the way it was. But it’s going to take a long time to do.”

sidewalks on the north side of Kingston Pike. Farragut Municipal Planning Commission gave its go-ahead during an April 17, 2009 meeting. Darryl Smith, Town engineer, was quoted in a Nov. 25, 2010, farragutpress story as saying the Town was responsible for purchasing right-of-way, widening the bridge and grading. TDOT was responsible for the rest of the project. Smith said the bid was awarded for a little more than $2 million, according to a Sept. 11, 2011, farragutpress story. “The good part about it is, our percentage of that cost is zero,” Smith said while giving his monthly report to Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen during its May 12, 2011 meeting, as reported in a May 19, 2011, farragutpress story. Project construction started in October 2011, with McKinnon Construction Co., LLC, Loudon, the low bidder and TDOT “managing the construction phase,” Jenkins said.

McKinnon’s successful bid in August 2011 came only after an prior low bidding process, in spring 2011, was nullified because “TDOT rejected all the bids,” Jenkins said. TDOT rejected three bids due to controversy on material quotes, Smith said in a June 16, 2011 farragutpress story. Closing the intersection was a detour inconvenience for residents living along Everett Road and Union Road, in addition to those living in Fox Run subdivision and some Fox Den subdivision residents among others. However, the overall process “went very well, the right-of-way[acquisition] went fairly well,” Jenkins said. “Utility relocations, all the utility companies did their part to relocate in an expedient way out there. “Each project has its own challenges, and you just never know what those are going to be,” he added.

townview: Ron Honken

guestview: Gov. Bill Haslam

Over the course of the next several weeks, the Farragut Board of Mayor and Alderman will be finalizing the budget starting July 1, 2013, and ending June 30, 2014. Our community has always had leaders that were fiscally prudent and saw to it that our t o w n w o u l d avoid the Ron financial Honken difficulties that Alderman most communities face. We e n j o y being debt free and have the current philosophy of paying as we go. Hopefully we’ll be able to continue doing the same long into the future. This coming year we are projecting revenue of approximately $8.1 million and expenses of $6.2 million. . This gives us a shortterm surplus of $1.9 million. On the surface, this looks like we are in good shape and perhaps have more than enough revenue. What we need to keep in mind is that the wants/needs/desires of our community continue to grow and change. Just the fact that our community is now 33 years old requires us to update a portion of and consider adding to

One of my top priorities is to make Tennessee the number one state in the Southeast for high quality jobs, and a key part of our jobs strategy is to encourage and support the growth and expansion of existing Tennessee businesses. . . Nearly 75 percent of new jobs created in Tennessee Bill last year resulted Haslam from comTennessee panies growing Governor here. In recent weeks that trend has continued with a number of exciting jobs announcements. On May 29, I joined U.S. Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, Congressman Phil Roe and Eastman Chemical Company Chairman and CEO Jim Rogers to announce the company’s $1.6 billion investment that is expected to create 300 new jobs in Kingsport. . . The project is not only a major expansion of a Tennessee business, but it also solidifies Eastman’s legacy in our state. . . The expansion is expected to be complete in seven years, as Eastman will celebrate 100 years as a Tennessee business. The economic impact of that one company already is reflected in the fact Eastman has about 7,000 employees in Northeast Tennessee, which is more than half of the company’s

total number of employees worldwide. And as big as the Eastman expansion will be, we have also recently announced several other projects, which will have significant impacts on our communities. Alcoa is expanding to meet the demand for aluminum sheet for automotive production, a $275 million investment over three years that will add 200 jobs upon completion, along with 400 jobs during construction. . . Two expansions are in Morristown. Team Technologies officials announced it will add 200 jobs to its manufacturing facility with an $11 million investment. Team Technologies is a leading contract manufacturer of dental, medical, cosmetic and industrial products. While it has divisions and companies throughout the United States, the headquarters and main production facility is in Morristown. Additionally, Sonoco Flexible Packaging announced will expand its facility in Morristown with an investment of $9.7 million, creating 26 new jobs. Sonoco has operations in 30 countries. Van-Rob Manchester recently announced it will add 104 jobs to its manufacturing facility. Van-Rob is a supplier to major automobile manufacturers. The Van-Rob announcement will result in an investment of $16.8 million in Coffee County. VIAM Manufacturing in Manchester announced an expansion creating 75 jobs on a $9 million investment. In Middle Tennessee, NHK

Seating of America announced plans to expand its facility in Murfreesboro, representing a $6.8 million investment, creating approximately 94 new jobs. In Nashville, Sony/ATV Music Publishing announced an expansion and relocation of its global administration offices, going to the Fifth Third Center downtown, investing several million dollars and creating approximately 50-60 jobs. In Union City, Williams Sausage Company announced it will add 148 jobs on an investment of $3 million. RCTENN is expanding in Gallatin with a $1.3 million investment creating 45 new jobs. Other expansions recently announced include TransCard in Chattanooga with 69 jobs, Xtend Healthcare Advanced Revenue Solutions in Hendersonville with 48 jobs and Gerdau in West Knox County with about 40 jobs. While we continue to focus on existing Tennessee companies and are proud of the results we’re seeing, we continue to also aggressively recruit outside businesses to Tennessee. . . We’ve changed our legal system to make it more predictable for businesses both existing and new. . . We’ve updated our workers’ compensation system to streamline the process and make it better for employees and employers. We understand the importance of keeping our foot on the gas when it comes to job creation in Tennessee, and we’ll continue to do our part to make Tennessee the most attractive place in the country for investment.

the majority of its water meters during a two-year project in 200809. Unlike LCUB, FUD did not go through any type of evaluation process. “We made a customer improvement decision,” Wayne Watson, FUD general manager, said. Watson went on to say, “LCUB

has some water loss. FUD has some water loss, but we don’t feel like the inaccurate meters are contributing to these problems. Ours weren’t inaccurate; we just wanted to improve customer service. Now we have meters that we feel have 100 percent accuracy.”

Efforts are working, he said, though it takes time. “You don’t always get the immediate results that you want, but hopefully what you’re doing is planting seeds for these retailers to really think about Farragut and do some homework and meet with us afterward,”

Smoak said. He said the Town has great demographics. “It’s really where people and retailers want to be,” he said. “It’s just a matter of finding the right fit for our area.”

our infrastructure. The demands on our parks cause us to consider how and when we expand or improve those as well. . If you take time to review our 5 Year Capital Investment Plan (CIP), you’ll notice there are items that which cost several million dollars each. The surplus in the current year will be combined with those of years past to once again pay cash for these investments in our community. However, if you look closer, you will note that our surplus in this area will shrink dramatically as we take major steps forward on some projects versus piecing them together over time. The two largest projects in the current CIP are improvements to Everett Road and the expansion of McFee Park. When they are complete, we plan to once again build surplus to pay for additional large projects. In addition to these two major projects, you will continue to see us resurface many of our streets, expand our walkways and greenways, and make other minor improvements around Town. You also will begin to see an outdoor classroom come to fruition just west of Farragut High School along Campbell Station Road. . The budget process is always one of balancing current and future needs, as well as the various desires of all that live and work in our community. I believe if you review the current plan, you’ll find that the Board has accomplished just that.

Farragut principal, during the school’s annual Teacher Awards Luncheon in FHS Commons. “As Sallee [Reynolds’ wife] tells me, ‘Ms. Gordon was my daytime wife,’” said Reynolds, to big laughs, as Gordon was among six retiring teachers/administrators recognized for their career accomplishments. Five of the six have at least 26 years

of teaching/administrative experience. Getting serious about Gordon’s contributions, “When she’s supposed to be home resting, she’s working on curriculum, and she’s working on staffing. And the thing that we share is that driving force of what’s best for the kids. “She’s a rock, but she’s also a compassionate individual,” Reynolds added.

“Tender hearted, very caring and very giving.” Business teacher Carol Bray leads the way in experience, retiring after 40 years service, 26 at FHS. Jean Hill, also a business teacher, retired after 36 years service, 23 at FHS. See GORDON on Page 13A

The 2013 Tyson Clabo Offensive Line Football Camp will take place Saturday, June 8, at Farragut High School. Cost of registration for the camp is $50, though camp scholarships exist, said camp coordinator Amber Park. The camp is for kids entering eigth grade through just graduated high school seniors. The camp will take place from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., she said, and campers will receive an autographed camp poster, a Nike camp shirt, lunch and prize opportunities. Clabo, who recently signed with the Miami Dolphins, will provide instruction, as well as Atlanta Falcons’ offensive lineman Garrett Reynolds and the Farragut High School football coaching staff, she said. The Dolphins’ official website states that tackle Clabo played from 2006 to

2012 with the Atlanta Falcons and started every game since 2008. Farragut High School head football coach Eddie Courtney coached Clabo at FHS. “I was head coach at that time, and then I’ve known Tyson ever since he was a little boy,” Courtney said. “This will be his second annual offensive line camp, and it’s something he really wants to do to give back to the area and something he had a really great time doing last year.” Courtney described Clabo as a hard worker. “You can see what he’s done just by making his way through the NFL,” Courtney said. “... He’s just a guy that enjoys football, enjoys giving back. He’s a very giving guy.” The camp will focus specifically on offensive line play. “A lot of it will be proper footwork, run block, pass protection and hand See CLABO on Page 11A

FHS dominates NJROTC Awards ■

Judging by 2013 Annual Knox County NJROTC Field Meet at Fulton High School Thursday, April 25, Navy Junior ROTC has a support system that pushes down the often-nasty Maroon versus Navy Blue barriers of competition. Farragut High School NJROTC owned the day, and mostly owned the 2012-13 school year competitively, repeating as Knox area Overall champions along with fin-

ishing first athletically — also a repeat from last year — at Fulton on a bright sunny morning and early afternoon. But on two separate occasions, Bearden NJROTC cadets were quite conspicuous in giving big cheers to Farragut in events where BHS would finish behind its Navy blue rival: tug-of-war and, in the end, the announced Overall cup winner and Fulton athletic events champ. “Bearden and Farragut are rivals, we fight hard, but we cheer each other on when we’re in

Belinda Twohig, senior Naval Science instructor for Bearden NJROTC, recalled a vandalism incident, a result of the schools’ rivalry, which reinvigorated her unit’s sportsmanship emphasis. “From that day forward I’ve always told them, ‘you can be competitive, but if you lose or if somebody’s doing better, you See FHS on Page 11A

Maternity Awards? It’s graduation time again, and it got me to thinking about it, which lead me to the idea of celebrating. I looked up the definition of celebration and it said: a joyful occasion for special festivities to mark some happy event. When we’re young, because we’re growing and changing, there is cause to celebrate t h o s e achievements of going from g r a d e school through h i g h Pam school and college, as Young Make it well as celebrating Fun! the holidays and birthdays. If we work at a job, there’s usually the annual awards banquet giving out employee of the year statues and BO (Born Organized) achievement pins and certificates. I know because as a keynote speaker, I’ve sat through hours of achievement celebrations. As a writer there’s great joy and a feeling of achievement to get on the New York Times best seller list and we see a great deal of joy watching winners of the Academy Awards, AFI, Golden Globe and the Peoples Awards for the entertainment industry. Then there are the sports awards, the Gold Medals, Super Bowl Ring, the World Cup and a bunch of other plates, statues and jackets that are given out as kudos to athletes. But what about us homemakers? Yeah we might get a Hallmark card once in a while, but there’s no annual awards

banquet for Moms. Many years ago I dated a colonel in the US Army and on one date he took me to a big deal awards banquet in Portland where four of the Joint Chiefs of Staff attended. I’ve never seen so many medals and ribbons on pockets in my entire life! My friend said the officers call it “fruit salad.” I went home that night and thought about all the fruit hanging off those people. Now I don’t want to in any way put down the military for giving out their awards, I just find it very interesting that we humans need recognition that way. I thought, ‘We should have Maternity Awards.’ Say you’ve breastfed three children (as I did) there should be a pin (maybe a cow or a milk can) you could wear on the pocket or your mother “uniform” denoting how many gallons you produced over your lifetime. If you had a C-Section, there could be a Purple C pin. There should be medals and ribbons for episiotomies, yeast infections, PMS, and ones for teaching a child to walk, talk, drive, eat with good manners etc. In other words, we should be able to look like those military officers when we go where parents gather like at church and school. I know it’s not going to happen. First of all we’re too busy on the front lines 24-7 to design uniforms, and who’d give out the awards? The kids? Nah. But there is something we can do. We can enjoy our calling in as many moments out of each day that we can. We can be grateful for our work, our kids and our husbands and cherish and celebrate every evening when we come together under the blessed roof of our homes. And when we

• MCREYNOLDS Jr., Marvin Prentiss, age 70 of Lenoir City, Tennessee passed away May 31, 2013 with his family by his side after a two-year battle with cancer. Prentiss was born in Starkville, MS and graduated from Mississippi State University with an Accounting Degree. Upon graduation, he married his wife Nell and embarked on a 30-year career with IBM, moving to Huntsville, AL, Endicott, NY, Otego, NY and finally locating in Knoxville. For many years, McReynolds Prentiss was a Sunday School teacher and deacon at First Baptist Church Concord. Currently he was an active member and elder at Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church.

He was a loving husband, a devoted Dad to his children and the world’s best Papa to his 10 grandchildren. His gentle loving spirit and strong Christian character will be missed by all. Prentiss was preceded in death by his parents, Prentiss and Mildred McReynolds and brother, Joe McReynolds. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Nell O’Kelley McReynolds; children, Mark and Karen McReynolds, Ryan and Merrie Robin McReynolds and Ashley and Brad Lay; grandchildren, Elizabeth,

Sharp’s annual Derby party a hit ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Harry Call could hardly contain his joy after the 139th Kentucky Derby. For the second straight year during Jayne Sharp’s 10th annual Kentucky Derby party at her Lost Tree Lane home in Fox Den, Call had nailed the winner: Orb, the favorite, won on a muddy track during a rainy Saturday, May 4, at Churchill Downs in Louisville — and in Farragut. Call, a feisty guy who was cracking up other guests, said he picked Orb “because he had the shortest name.” Call and Linda Bryant, a blond dressed to the 9s in all purple who also picked the Derby champ for a second straight year, were among a couple dozen partygoers, practically shoulder-toshoulder in Sharp’s living room, many using shouts and body English to help along their Derby choice. With husbands the guests this year, “This is by far the most outstanding party because guys are dressed to the 9s. They are as excited and have learned as much about the horse racing event as the girls have all these years,” Sharp said. With practically all women wearing their traditional fascinators, married couples and single women partygoers added up to roughly 85 total who enjoyed live-

ly conversation, fine wine and tasty snacks plus “a fabulous Jazz musician, Wendel Werner, he was voted Musician of the Year,” Sharp said. It also was Sharp’s final Derby party, handing off the honors to Karen and Champ Beeler of Farragut, who said they’re experienced in hosting Derby parties. “I look forward to being a guest,” Sharp said. Perhaps it’s an appropriate handoff, given Champ's Lexington and horse connections. “I grew up in Lexington. My father was a horse trainer,” he said. “He never had a Derby horse, but we ran on Derby day.” Champ has indirect ties to Shug McGaughey, Orb’s trainer, making the Beelers yet another party couple picking the winner. “He dated Shug McGaughey’s sister,” Karen Beeler said of Champ. “I took her to the senior prom,” Champ said before the race. “So I’m kind of rooting for them.” Having been to Churchill Downs three times for the Kentucky Derby, Champ recalled 1967 as a 14-year-old boy when “I had a horse that won named Proud Clarion. ... I won $67.40 or something like that. I remember because I went and bought a bicycle.” Sharp was full of praise for others helping make her last party successful. “A special, wonderful beef ten-

derloin dinner with bread pudding and bourbon sauce” capped things off, Sharp said. “I have a great team in the kitchen,” Jillian Blair and her mother, Monika Anderson, “That has been with me for about seven years.” Others Sharp thanked were Mary Ross Skelton (mint juleps), Jean Hill, Jane Thomas and Cheryl Kershaw (hors d’oeuvres), next-door neighbor Alice Anderson (food pick-up) plus Harry and Teresa Call (decorations), “cigar-cigarette girl” Genevieve Trent and bartenders Katie Hunt and Katie Fey.

placement skills on how to use your hands correctly in blocking,” Courtney said. He said the better an offensive line is, the more opportunities the offense will have to score. “They don’t get a lot of recognition,” he said. “They really don’t. Everybody’s watching the football. A lot of people during the game don’t watch them. ... You can’t play football without offensive line.”

Courtney said making money is not the objective of the camp. “He really wants to help them improve their skills and let them know how special it is to play offensive lineman,” he said. “... You don’t have quarterbacks, wide receivers out there. You’ve got just offensive linemen. So it’s their day, their area.” People can still register for the camp. “We’ll even take walk ups, as long as they get there on time,” he said.

need to make sure we’re all one group.’ … That’s what I demand from them,” Twohig said. Bearden cadets finished second in Overall performance and Athletic Excellence for the 201213 season, and No. 2 in athletics at Fulton. Bearden’s sportsmanship came in light of Farragut also capturing first-place honors in Platoon Drill Award, Athletic Excellence and Air Rifle — each earned dur-

ing the 2012-13 season but awarded at Fulton April 25. NJROTC Ensign Morgan Keenan, an FHS senior, said about the 2012-13 competitive season, “It was an amazing experience.” About winning the overall championship, Keenan added, “It was such a group effort. We are a family down here. We work together and we push each other as hard as we can.” NJROTC Petty Officer 1st Class Rand Ford, an FHS junior, said, “We work together and we push

each other very hard during PT and during uniforms inspections and drill meets. That’s how we succeed.” Also, “It’s a lot of fun because we get to go out and we get to spend a day with our friends … and compete in a bunch of fun events: rock climbing, running, bucket relay, all those different things,” he added. Wright said about Farragut’s top finishes, “It was really exciting. It was very close. “I was nervous, but I’m glad we did it.”

Doris Gordon, retiring curriculum principal at Farragut High School , receives this crystal award from FHS principal Michael Reynolds.

Gordon From page 5A

Becky Comer, SPED teacher, ends her career at 31 years service, 13 at Farragut. Math teacher Margaret Rosenbalm completed 26 years of service, 20 at FHS. Media specialist Barbara James, referred to by Reynolds as “the baby of the bunch,” retires following 11 years service, 10 at FHS. With a combined 175 years of service overall, 120 at FHS, “That is an incredible feat,” Reynolds said. “You think of how many lives these ladies have touched, and what dedication and long hours they’ve put in. And the amount of money they’ve spent out of their own pocket. “Don’t ever forget about your contribution that you made in this place, because ladies, we will never forget you,” he added. Other teachers honored included Shasta Todd and Holly Kelly, who received annual Tyler Duke Memorial Award. Stan Duke, Tyler’s father, presented the award. Teachers Brenda McGrath, Elizabeth Blankenship, Dr. Hunter Brimi, Jill Hudson and Laura Smithey earned FHS Golden Anchor Award.

take the valuable time to be alone each day we can give ourselves credit for the service we provide. When we love who we are we don’t need awards, medals, ribbons and pins to show the world what we’ve accomplished, we just need to keep remembering what a contribution we make to our world.
