Farragut burglars greeted with open doors at many homes
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A false sense of security while at home entices burglars, while unsecured guns in the home makes burglaries all the more dangerous within the town of Farragut. That’s according to Capt. Jeff Palmer, Knox County Sheriff’s Office liaison to town of Farragut. Palmer said within Town limits in 2012 there were 52 burglaries;
49 in 2013. As of late May during 2014, “We’ve had 27 total,” he added. In Farragut, “Well over 30 percent of these home burglaries, their entry was made through an unlocked door or unlocked window,” Palmer said. “… So far in 2014 [through late May] it’s 40 percent.” Mike Fleenor, president of Fleenor Security Systems of West Knox County, said “opportunistic crime” is prevalent in the summer.
“I remember in one of the neighborhoods several years ago there were a group of out-of-town folks that came through and they would knock on doors, and if nobody answered the door, even though they knew people were out in the backyard, they’d break in, go in and steal something,” Fleenor said. “I remember a couple of incidents where one of the parties would go around and engage people in the backyard while someone else kicked the front door
in,” he added. “People leave their garage doors open all the time, and we regularly hear about, ‘Well, I lost my golf clubs’ or they lost some other item out of their garage. One of the things we always caution people about, ‘Always close your garage door, even if you’re working in the back yard or enjoying your pool.’” Palmer added that while residents are at home, “We’ve had several instances where elderly homeowners in Farragut in the

World Cup is gaining all types of attention across the United States, including in the heart of Farragut. Workers took longer lunch breaks, employees requested the day off, and bosses even coordinated a business outing to local restaurants and bars to support the U.S. National Men’s Soccer noon game against Germany Thursday, June 26. “There has been a lot of support for the World Cup so far, and we have seen a lot of upswing of soccer in this country, and fans have really shown their support,” Eric Whiete, manager of Buffalo Wild Wings, 11431 Parkside Drive, said. They even had to turn people away in the moments leading up to and during the game. “We have had to go on a wait for the last couple of U.S. games and tell people, ‘Sorry we are full,’” Whiete added. Alex Shelton and his father, Larry, were two of those people who were turned down for a table, so they relocated to Smoky Mountain Brewery. “We went to Buffalo Wild Wings first, and, of course, they had people out the door,”

Tina Burieigh, Matt Stalker and Kylie, 3, wear their most patriotic gear while viewing the United States versus Germany World Cup soccer game at Buffalo Wild Wings in Farragut Thursday, June 26. Area restaurants that had TVs tuned to the game had to turn people away due to overcrowding.
Shelton said. Many of the fans watching in local restaurants planned well ahead for the game, including Ryan McElveen and Dr. Smita Borole, ensuring a table to eat at while watching. “Yes I took off from work … we knew that Germany and
the U.S. were going to play months ago, so I had always planned on watching this game,” McElveen said. Borole, owner of Dental Works, 11340 Parkside Drive, had a table reserved for her entire staff at The Irish Times Pub & Restaurant, 11348 Parkside Drive.
“It was my idea to take off, just 30 minutes blocked off extra … I think it has worked out good having it during lunch. There was too much excitement with this game to miss it, especially with the German in the office,” Borole See SOCCER on Page 2A
Four reappointed to FMPC ■

Four Farragut Municipal Planning Commission members have been re-appointed for another term. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously to reappoint Alderman Ron Honken to represent the Board on the Commission during the Board meeting
Thursday, June 26. A f t e r M a y o r R a l p h McGill nominated Honken, Vice Mayor Dot Honken LaMarche seconded his nomination. “I enjoyed it,” Honken said
about the r e appointm e n t . “I’ve been on the Planning Commission for several Holladay years, so yes, I’m pleased to be back on it.”

past year or so have been out, say, working in their yard and an opportunist sees they are outside and figures, I guess, that the door would be unlocked and went in and committed the burglary.” Fleenor said he often has to remind homeowners, “‘You’re just as vulnerable gone eight hours’ as they are gone for eight days as far as someone hitting their house.” See BURGLARS on Page 2A
Town hosts architectural workshop
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A first step toward creating a more uniform architectural design for town of Farragut commercial, mixed use and multi-family unit buildings took place recently in Town Hall. Two officials from Winter & Company., the firm hired by Town leaders to create suggestions for a more uniform yet appealing architectural design, led a guidelines public workshop seeking input Thursday evening, June 5. Thirteen citizen attendees, which included Alderman Jeff Elliott, Farragut Municipal Planning Commissioners Ed St. Clair, Rita Holladay and Annette Brun and former FMPC chair Bob Hill looked over some 60 photos of buildings, landscaping (including streets) and storm-water management design examples from which to choose. At the bottom of each photo was an area to note what you liked, or didn’t like, about that photo’s design. A town of Farragut map was made available for individuals or small groups to paste design examples as to where in Town a certain design might best apply. As for sharing their feedback, Holladay said she and St. Clair “liked a lot of the landscaping, but that takes money for upkeep.” St. Clair said he liked designs “with a more integrated look to it.” Town resident Walt Hanson said, “What I liked was variety,” adding that “homogeneity can be boring because everywhere you drive it looks the same.” Hanson also was critical of Farragut’s “awfully large parking lots. I don’t know where we’re going in the future with this. …” Hill said he was “terribly critical,” yet, “I saw a lot of things that I liked.” “The old Kroger shopping center, the West End shopping center, the Ingles shopping center are three places that will definitely be redeveloped. I think also where the Fresh Market is [Village Green shopping center], that will be redeveloped,” Hill said.

the Planning Commission. “I think [the planning commission] serves a purpose in the community,” Holladay said. “Being on the Planning Commission is important to me because to a lot of people their property is their biggest asset in life, and they need that protected, be it a business or a home,” she said. “I like being able to help people protect that. “I have learned a lot over the years, and have met a lot of nice people. One of those, she said, is Bob Hill, former FMPC chair, who helped her. Whiting said he is pleased to be re-appointed. “The Commis-

said. “The German” she refers to is Stephanie Euntalan, one of her employees who moved to the United States from Germany in 1996. “It does not bother me [rooting for a team no one else is] … Of course Germany is going to kick U.S.A. butt,” Euntalan said about an eventual 1-0 Germany win. Borole is not the only boss to make time for the World Cup in the workday schedule though, as groups from Kimberly Clark, Carmax, SunTrust and more joined in on the experience. “I am watching the U.S.
sion is responsible for how the town of Farragut develops in the future and approving ordinances to make sure it is the best town of Te n n e s s e e under the leadership of Mayor Ralph St. Clair McGill,” he said. St. Clair could not be reached for comment as of press time Monday. The Planning Commission consists of nine members, two of which are the mayor and a Board representative. Commissioners serve a two-year term. Holladay, Germany soccer game, yes, I took a longer lunch break, but I’m the boss, so I just kind of left,” Daniel Batts from SunTrust said. Non-business parties were also planned in advance, including one by long-time soccer fan Lucas Whitworth at Meksiko Cantina, 120 West End Ave., who recently arrived back to Knox County from Brazil, where he watched some of the World Cup in person. “It is amazing. We are having a great time — the food is great, the service is great, the televisions are great, so it is all working out … We just got back from Brazil, and it is still the experience, it is still rolling on,” Whitworth said.
the FMPC chair, has served for seven years; St. Clair, more than 20 years and Whiting four years. On another matter, the Board voted unanimously to change the Town’s Beautification Committee charter and bylaws and add another member to the committee. The committee’s charter and bylaws stated the committee would have no more than 10 members, but during a workshop Thursday, June 12, Board members discussed increasing that membership. In other business, Town administrator David Smoak showed a new glossy map created recently showing the Town’s attractions, hotels, shopping and dining establishments. It also gives information about the Town and its history. The maps will be available at hotels in Town. “Sue [Stuhl, Parks and Leisure Services director] has been working hard with Visit Knoxville, and they came up with this design and map layout,” Smoak added.
Burglars From page 1A
Palmer emphasized securing firearms. “We’re losing firearms in unlocked vehicle burglaries and firearms being taken from homes that aren’t locked up in a safe or otherwise secured,” he said. “If you have a firearm in your home you need to have a safe. If it isn’t on your person or locked up in a safe then it isn’t a secure firearm.” For homeowners concerned about the time lost to unlock their safe should a firearm be needed for protection, Palmer recommended “these little security safes they can get for $50 or so. It’s a quick-opening gun safe that you can keep by your bedside.” Palmer said firearms are easy
pickings for burglars because “guns are in drawers or lying out somewhere in the closet.” Fleenor warned homeowners not to investigate if something seems wrong when arriving home. Recalling a double murder in a Farragut subdivision “probably 20 years ago,” Fleenor said a couple “walked in on a burglary and the husband and wife were shot and killed. … They walked in and saw a broken window and instead of leaving then went in to see what happened. “If people come home and see a door ajar or a window broken, do not enter the house,” Fleenor added. “Go to a neighbor’s driveway and call 9-1-1.” Fleenor said neighbors should help each other in case they see “a strange car in your driveway.”

townview: Come celebrate Neseman Happy (almost) Fourth of July! I’ve lived and worked in the town of Farragut now for four years and consider it a privilege to call our beautiful East Tennessee community home. I hope you will join us at two wonderful community events tonight and tomorrow to celebrate our great country and the freedoms we enjoy. Tonight at 6:30 on t h e grounds of the farragutp r e s s office, the Farragut Business A l l i a n c e David will host Smoak the Red, Farragut White & Town B l u e s Administrator P r e Independence Day Community Picnic. This annual event offers family fun at its finest with live bands, a children’s play area (which is where I stay most of the evening), watermelon-eating con-
tests, and a variety of food vendors. Complete details can be found at farragutbusiness.com. Then Friday morning, bring your chairs and claim your spot along Kingston Pike for the town of Farragut’s largest community event of the year, the Independence Day Parade. We’re hoping the rain stays away this year so everyone can enjoy the close to 100 entries, including the Farragut High and Hardin Valley Academy bands, Angela Floyd School of Dance and Maggie, the Mayfield Dairy cow. On a business note, July is also the month that begins our new budget year. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved the Fiscal Year 2015 budget in June. I’m pleased to report the budget is balanced and continues to meet the needs of our community while maintaining our current services. More detailed information about the Town’s budget can be found on our website at townoffarragut.org/documents and is available for review at Farragut Town Hall.

presstalk • My cat (tortoise shell color with a white flea collar) has been missing from the Fox Den Village area since June 19. I got her from the Lenoir City Animal Clinic (Tom Bradbury, vet) when she was 8 weeks old and she is now 10 years old. Her name is “Tee.” Although she is an indoor/outdoor cat, she stays in my yard most of the time. She is a very friendly cat who loves people, other cats, and even dogs. I have put up Lost Cat signs in my neighborhood and I check with the Young-Williams Animal Center every couple of days. Hopefully, she will return soon; if not, my guess is that she is in Cat Heaven. • There is scam I have come across twice in the past month in Farragut I want people to be aware of. There is a young white lady about 25 years old with blond hair that sits in the middle of public places (restaurants) with her 9 month old baby boy and talks VERY loudly on her cell

presstalk@farragutpress.com phone supposedly relaying to the other party that she is out of gas and has no money, has nowhere to stay and has no formula for the baby because the baby’s father used her money to buy something ridiculous (a flat screen TV, for instance). It is a horrible story and left me feeling terrible for the baby and made me want to help, which was the point. When I first heard this woman’s story, no one gave her any money so she got up and left. The story sounded too rehearsed to me, so I followed the woman to the front door of the Mexican restaurant along with another patron and saw her get into a white Honda Civic or Accord with a man and drive away, presumably to try another location. I saw her again tonight at a Japanese restaurant with her baby and she was talking loudly on her cell phone telling the same exact same story. When I asked her about seeing her previously, she became belligerent
and immediately got up and left the location. I am all for helping those in need, but be very careful to whom you give money. • In reference to the front page story, “Cats gone missing” of the farragutpress dated June 26, I appreciate the story getting out to alert cat owners, but the story ends with a mystery instead of offering a probable explanation with a warning: coyotes are alive and well, and live amongst us in larger numbers that one would realize. Ask any wildlife biologist, and you will find that this is true. Our home in Audubon Hills subdivision (next to Kingsgate) borders the back of the field across from Anchor Park, and every time an ambulance siren goes by in the distance, the field comes alive with the yips, yelps, howls and barks of what seems to be a hundred coyotes (I have an audio recording of this). Neighbors who border this field have “mysteriously” lost their cats but we realize the

probability that exists. Coyotes are found in large numbers in metro Chicago, metro Dallas (personally observed), you name it: coyotes are not afraid to live amongst us, and benefit greatly when they do. ... Editor’s Note: farragutpress has written several stories on the presence of coyotes in Farragut. One story included photos taken by staff of coyotes in the field behind farragutpress office at 11863 Kingston Pike. The most recent story we have published on coyotes ran on page 1A in the Thursday, Sept. 26, 2013, issue of farragutpress. • I found the comments regarding the possible construction of a cellular tower in the June 26 issue of farragutpress interesting. We recently moved and our home is located near the heart of Farragut. Luckily we had a landline installed in our home because the cell coverage is very limited. A week or so before the
publication of these comments, I did a web search to determine where the nearest cellular towers are located and noticed that there are no cellular towers located within Farragut. Please understand that we appreciate the fact that Farragut has strict regulations, but it would be nice to have more than one or no bars for our cell phone communications at our home. Editor’s Note: Actually, there are three cell towers in Farragut. Two towers are located off Virtue Road on town of Farragut property, and the third is located on the Public Works facility off Fretz Road. None are more than two miles away from the heart of Farragut. There also is a cluster of cell towers off Black Road just outside the Town limits. • In response to your cat story, I have more information.

Presstalk From page 4A
Knoxville News Sentinel on June 19 titled “Cats disappearing from W. Knoxville Subdivision.” Since that article came out many people have contacted Karen Kukura (the writer misspelled both of Karen’s names) and I stating that they too have missing cats. Something big is going on here. Knox County Animal Control has not returned any of our numerous calls to let them know of all the people wanting to file a police report. Two cats were found strangled in a bag in the woods behind Kincer Farms subdivision. This is the same subdivision where my cat, Olivia, was found tied by the neck to the back of a truck. We found out where the man lives, but Knox County Animal Control has not responded to us so we can tell them about it. An e-mail was sent out to the homeowners in Wexford subdivision saying that if a cat were found in the sender’s yard, he would take it to Louisville where no one would find it. I live in Lakeridge subdivision, which is just down the road. Karen Kukura started a Facebook page called “Northshore Missing Cats.” We are trying to gather pictures and details of all the missing cats in our area. We estimate from phone calls that there are about 20-30 missing cats from our Northshore area. These are all spayed/neutered housecats that do not wander off. We have received numerous e-mails from cat haters and people who think we deserve to have lost our cats because they were outside. We are well aware of the leash law. Still, if you have ever rescued a stray cat, you know that sometimes those cats demand to be let outside. These are not outside cats my any means. They are inside cats that go outside for a few hours a day. No one has the right to trap or steal a cat and relocate it where it can never be found again. Sadly, relocation is not the only thing happening. Cats are being killed too. No one has the right to harm an animal.
Animal abuse is not OK. If a person has an issue with an animal, a responsible adult should have a civil conversation with the owner of said animal. There is no reason to resort to trapping and relocating or killing the animal. People who abuse animals will most certainly abuse a person too. Neighbors need to start talking to one another. Any leads into these missing cats needs to be reported. Since Knox County Animal Control has not returned our calls, we will file another police report this time with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office instead of the Knox County Animal Control. If enough people get involved, maybe the police will listen. • I was saddened to read the article about the missing cats. I understand an indoor cat can occasionally escape to the outdoors accidentally. But please, keep your cats inside, indoor cats live 12 to 20 years, outdoor cats only live one to five years. They are victims of poison, starving, and as we have found out, abuse by strangers. Also, your cat, your outdoor cat, will bother your neighbors and kill native songbirds. So please, keep your cat indoors. • First I want to say to the person who is out there maliciously and deliberately killing cats, especially by suffocating them in a plastic bag, you are a coward, you are a bully, you are a twisted, perverted individual and hopefully you will be caught sooner than later. Animal abuse is a felony in the state of Tennessee and when you are caught you will be prosecuted. As much as I feel sorry for the people who are losing their pets in this fashion, if you let your animals run loose, dogs or cats, they become prey for all types of predators. We have coyotes all over Farragut. We have two legged predators who find it amusing to shoot or kill stray animals, or what they consider stray animals, coming on their property. Now the person who is killing cats by putting them inside plastic bags, they are just evil. Nothing short of it. If you want to truly protect pets,

if you truly love your pets, keep your dog in the house or in or behind a fence and keep your cats in the house. It is a total myth and lie that animals need to run loose. They do not. What they need is companionship and care. They need to have food and water. They need to be taken care of in a loving and responsible manner. • I just read about three cats that have been killed in Farragut, I’m wondering how widespread this problem is. Earlier this summer or spring, rather, a cat was killed and buried halfway into the ground with its tail sticking up in our neighborhood, which is West Wood Chase. So, this is not an
isolated incident and it would be good if we could all band together to find whom this culprit, or culprits, are doing this awful murdering. • The cell tower that is proposed to be in the center of the town of Farragut, 160 feet tall, would be a travesty. I don’t see how we can have such strict sign ordinances and allow something as ugly as that, especially right across from an historic building. I would think that would not be allowed. What I’m wondering is bargaining that is going on behind the scenes with the Chicago-based company [that] doesn’t care a bit about Farragut. I’m thinking that they might actually have another site in
mind that they will settle for providing that they don’t go there. I would be wary of this company. They certainly don’t have Farragut’s best interest in mind. And this is something that would be permanent, something atrociously ugly. Editor’s Note: Cell towers are not permitted on private property within the town of Farragut. Cell towers can only be erected on property owned by the Town. As previously stated, the Town has not received any contact from the company that posted a legal notice about erecting a tower in the Town. See PRESSTALK on online at www.farragutpress.com

Winning eagle from 152 highlights WC Invitational Ex-Ad Anderson No. 1; Studer’s 152-yard eagle on 18th wins 1st Flight
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Though an avid golfer for 26 years, John Studer had never won a golf tournament. Until Sunday, when his pitching wedge on No. 18 at Willow Creek Golf Club proved golden. Studer’s approach shot from 152 yards, out of the rough, on the par 4, 411-yard hole found the bottom of the cup for an eagle, which allowed him to tie Don Dehler for first place (149) during 12th Annual Willow Creek Invitational’s Regular 1st Flight tournament June 29. “It bounced twice and went in, but I wasn’t quite sure [at first] because the green is elevated,” said Studer, 37, who was declared the winner — Studer no playoff holes — thanks to shooting one stroke lower on the back nine during the final day of a 36-hole, two-day tourney (76-73149). “It was cool. It was pretty neat.” “I’ve come in second a few times in this tournament,” Studer, a regular WCGC player, added. “It feels great.” Hayden Anderson, a former Farragut High School star who helped lead the Admirals to a pair of Class AAA state titles in 2008 and 2009, edged three Championship Flight golfers to win his first WCI

(72-69-141). Regular 2nd Flight winner was Buddy Brackfield (82-81-163), while Seniors Flight winner (age 50 and older) was Bryan Rodgers, 55 (73-75-148), who said he won WCI for the fifth time overall (twice previously in Championship Flight). In addition to the tournament being delayed twice by rain and thunder Sunday, Anderson finished the final few holes playing in a steady rain. But a steady hand allowed for consecutive pars on the final five holes — plus birdies on No. 11 and 13 — to edge Connor Froning (7072-142), Mitchel Thomas (70-72142 ) and Kory Webb (72-70-142). “He battled a really good field through the conditions,” Scott
Perkins, WCGC PGA head profession and tourney director, said. “I had to grind it out the last couple of days. I finished poorly [Saturday]. I was 4-under making the turn but shot 4over on the back [nine holes],” said Anderson, a Rodgers recent Georgia Southern University graduate who helped the Eagles win a pair of Southern Conference championships.

While making noise this summer on the Tennessee Golf Association Junior Tour, Farragut’s Tyler Johnson and Lenoir City’s Tanner Nelson have developed a friendly golf rivalry. Meanwhile, Farragut High School rising seniors Elizabeth Keeling and Kayland Boling are pushing each other on the TGA Jr. Girls 16-to-18 Masters Tour. “Me and Tyler, we talk a lot whenever we play together,” Nelson, a 2014 Lenoir City High
School graduate, said about Johnson, an FHS rising junior. “We want to beat each other, but we’re very good friends, though. I’ve known him for two-and-ahalf, three years.” Squaring off at Willow Creek Golf Club for a 36-hole TGA Jr. Tour event Monday and Tuesday, June 23-24, Nelson, 18, finished first in Boys 16-to-18 Masters at even par (73-71-144, 6,967 yards) while Johnson tied for second (73-77-150). “We’ve played together quite a few times because me and him, we’re pretty much the same caliber players,” Nelson, a TSSAA

state tournament qualifier who’s headed to Walters State, added. Among top finishes in TGA 16to-18 Masters so far this year, “Down there at Bear Trace [at Harrison Bay, near Chattanooga] I finished second and he finished third,” Nelson said. “Up at River Island [Kodak], I finished fourth and he finished first [6under par 138 June 16-17]. … We’re kind of back and forth on that.”
As an FHS sophomore last season, Johnson “got better as the year went along,” FHS head coach Jonathan Cox said. “He shot the low round of the state tournament the first day. … Fought through some adversity, showed some toughness, hung in there.” Johnson, a member of Fox Den Country Club, helped Farragut finish No. 2 statewide in Class AAA state tournament
at WillowBrook Golf Course, Manchester, last fall. “So far this summer, keeping up with Tyler’s golf … he’ really been playing well,” Cox said. “He’s got a lot of talent, he just has to learn how to use that talent to get the most out of his round.

young man.” On the girls’ side at Willow Creek early last week, Boling finished second (75-82-157) while Keeling took fourth (77-86-163). “The first day was a good day, it was pretty solid,” Keeling said about her 4-over-par 77. “The second day was more challenging. ... I think I was missing more fairways, and that was leaving me to miss more greens. I wasn’t striking the ball as well as I was on Monday.” One week previously, “I came back from a pretty rough first day and I moved in and shot 78 the second day at River Island” to finish second, Keeling said about her top TGA Jr. finish. Boling, meanwhile, finished first at Oak Ridge Country Club (41-39-80) during TGA Jr. Tour’s stop there Thursday, June 19. As for their chemistry when playing together, “We kind of like play the same, we go quick,” Keeling, 17, said. “Usually, we’re kind of able to laugh off things we may otherwise be all pent up and frustrated over.” This duo, both rising seniors at FHS, will be looking for a Class AAA state title after finishing No. 2 as sophomore and No. 3 in state as juniors last fall.

Annual Fireball Moonlight Classic 5K run/walk benefit July 3 ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Bo Saulsbury is a long-time Knox County resident with a long history of community service, but July 3 will mark a new success for both him and his son, Andrew, 7 — he is directing the 30th Annual Pilot Fireball Moonlight Classic, a 5k run/walk and 1 mile kids run Thursday, July 3, a race that will benefit the Autism Society of East Tennessee. His inspiration: Andrew, who
was diagnosed with Autism at a younger age. This is a Knoxville Track Club event, but ASET will gain a portion of the race registration fees Saulsbury and publicity thanks to Saulsbury’s involvement in both organizations.
“The Autism Society decided, under my recommendation, that rather than try to start a new race, we would see if KTC would make us the benefactor of a race that already existed,” Saulsbury said. “They [the people at KTC] were looking for a director for this race, and I told them I would be happy to do it if a portion of the proceeds would benefit the Autism Society … It’s a race that’s been going on forever. We [ASET] are just taking part of it,”
he added. Saulsbury is not a newbie to the leadership role, though, as he is the former KTC president from 2000 to 2002 and now serves on the board of directors for ASET. “I got on the Autism Society [board] just last year and wanted to get involved, because I have a son [Andrew] who is autistic, and I wanted to do something to try to contribute to that community …. I like to volunteer here and contribute my time to things like that,” Saulsbury said.
Ever since Andrew was diagnosed, Saulsbury has searched for ways to get involved and bring awareness to the Autism community. Since he has always lived in the area, it was easy for him to make the connections. “I have a lot of contacts. I have lived in this area all my life, so I know a lot of people around here, so I am able to help organizations,” he said. “I have these two very good See FIREBALL on Page 8B
Big one does not get away from Lowrys Family has huge haul during Free Fishing Day at The Cove
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
While some families were catching only one or two fish, if any at all, Nicole Lowry and her immediate family snatched up 12 farm-raised catfish in about 75 minutes Saturday morning, June 7. Participating in their 12th Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency-sponsored Free Fishing Day at The Cove at Concord Park, Lowry and her family took full advantage of a healthy stocking of farm-raised catfish. With roughly 25 relatives on hand, most of whom were fishing side-by-side for about half a football field in length, Lowry, her mother and father, Clarence and Janice Powell, and her son, Daniel Bandy Jr., seemed to be the most successful. Speaking only about her parents, son and herself, “Last year we caught 101 fish … last year was our best,” Lowry said, adding Bandy “has been the best one.” As if they hadn’t been successfully enough last year, Bandy and Clarence Powell came up with a new idea for their bait: putting chicken liver “inside surgical nylon netting so the fish just can’t grab it” without getting hooked, Lowry said. “It’s something new him and papaw [Clarence] did this year.”
“It’s working so far, obviously,” she added. Clarence added that without the surgical netting, “A lot of time when people cast out with chicken liver, you’ll see the chicken liver going one way and their hook the other way.” Not surprisingly, the family annually takes its harvest of fish “and we have a fish fry” Saturday evenings, Lowry said. “We have hush puppies, cole slaw, fries.” Daniel Bandy Sr. said he likes Free Fishing Day “because the kids have a lot of fun.” That included John Owens Jr., 3, Lowry’s nephew. Between Daniel Sr., his wife, Rachel Bandy, and their daughters, Seattle, 7, and Lilly, 5, “We’ve caught five catfish” roughly 90 minutes into the day, the elder Bandy said. Among Lowry’s other relatives were William Inman, his wife, Bobbie Inman, and their grandchildren, Haley and Billy Inman. That foursome, according to William, caught a small combination of bluegill and catfish roughly halfway through the morning. A tightly packed shoreline of a few dozen families also included Chad and Jill Drewery and their small children, Turner, 4, and Samuel, 1. However, there were no free See LOWRYS on Page 4B

COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Reva Bagi, Farragut Intermediate School fifth grader, stunned her parents when the Tennessee Department of Education called to notify them of her win for “Why I’m Thankful for My Teacher” – a statewide essay competition. The Bagis never even heard of the contest until they answered the phone and received the news that she won her age division and $500. “I wanted it to be a surprise so everyone could be all happy. I never knew I was going to win,” Reva said. “The age group was fourth graders to eighth graders, so I was
like, ‘How did I win? I’m a fifth grader,” Reva added. As for the cash, she plans on saving it to buy books in college. Reva found out about the contest through a flyer placed in her school mailbox. She wrote and submitted the essay while at home through an online form, because she does not know how to send a letter through the mail. She kept the entire process a humble secret, and when her parents and FIS administrators all knew, they decided to keep the secret game going a little longer and surprise the fifth grade teacher responsible for inspiring Reva to submit, Niki Adams, at a school-wide assembly. “None of us knew what the
assembly was for, and all the sudden they said, ‘We are here to honor a student,’ and they talked about the essay contest and mentioned we are going to have this student come share what she wrote. I immediately started crying,” first year teacher Adams said. Reva recited the entire piece from memory. “When I saw my teacher crying, I felt really, really happy,” Reva said. Adams was stunned at the assembly but not what the fifth grader was capable of doing. “She’s an exceptional student. I was so thankful I got to have her in See BAGI on Page 4B

Town hosts state Cornhole Championships ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Town of Farragut was host to the Tennessee State Cornhole Championships for the first time Saturday, June 7, proving that the game’s competition can go further than the parking lot tailgate and backyard games. Blackjack Cornhole, a Johnson City-based cornhole company, brought their games to Cool Sports, Home of the Icearium, 110 S. Watt Road, for its two-day event. The American Cornhole Organization set up the event with Cool Sports, providing Tennessee’s competition to be available and convenient for more players. “This [Cool Sports] is a beautiful venue, so we are extremely blessed to have Cool Sports on board and letting us use their facility, because this is awesome,” Cliff Caner, co-owner of Blackjack Cornhole, said. “It [Farragut] is more centralized for us, closer to our players from the west and east end so they are not traveling from one end to the other … so it is more centralized for our players,” he added. The event began with an open practice night Friday, June 6. Thirty-seven individuals participated in the practice night, using thousands of dollars worth of brand new, state-of-the-art cornhole equipment, according to Canter. A total of 64 singles registered to compete for the championship title Saturday morning. “They were seated in their bracket, eight singles per two boards. We are going to take the top four from each pool, which gives us the top 32, then they go into the top bracket with double eliminations until we get down to

our winner,” Canter said. Jacob Davidson of South Fulton took the singles win and Cody Buck of Johnson City and Danny Lamp of Lafayette took the doubles winners’ title. They now have the ability to compete in the World Championships of Cornhole later this month. “World Championships will happen [in July] to win the King of Cornhole, which is like the Super Bowl or the Daytona 500 for us in the cornhole world, in Charleston, W. VA. July 15-19,” Canter said. The location for the 2015 Tennessee Cornhole Champion-
ship is not finalized, but Canter stresses the universality of the game. “If you have never experienced cornhole, we would suggest it. We invite families, moms, dads, women and children,” he said. “This game is for everyone, so if you’ve never tried it, we suggest you come out and give it a try. You might like it and even get addicted, because we started out tailgating at football games, and it’s just grown leaps and bounds,” Canter added.

Town of Farragut is responsible for much more than sign ordinances and zoning procedures, and the volunteering program is proof that local politics do not matter when it Whiting comes to giving back to the community. Drew Carson, Valerie Whiting and Bill and Jane Parker have combined more than 50 years of community service for the Town — time they believe is well spent. Drew Carson was inspired to join a committee after going through the Introduction to Farragut course two years ago. He serves as a member on the Personnel and Parks and Recreation committees, a commitment he says only takes a few hours of time each week.
“I just like being a part of something to give back, to be involved and to understand the jobs they do better to get a better insight into the Town,” Carson said. Whiting is in the midst of her third year of volunteering in the Farragut Folklife Mus-eum, and she still thinks she is “just getting going” with it.” A Farrragut resident for 19 years, Whiting offered to help when she found out the town was in need. “They were shorthanded and they needed help … it was a very small group trying to keep the museum vital, and I felt like it was worth my time,” Whiting said. Her time spend in the gift shop offers her an opportunity to connect with information and people she may have never come across elsewhere. “I am not skilled in history, so it puts me closer to something that I could easily ignore, and I feel like it is nice to be there for See VOLUNTEERS on Page 7B

FHS FIRST Robotics camp rates ‘cool’ with participants ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Farragut High School’s FIRST Robotics 3140 Club hosted their fourth annual robotics camp Monday and Tuesday, June 9-10, a tradition that continues to strengthen the minds of all those involved. The camp consists of a wide variety of robotic and engineering activities, including lessons on computer-aided design, soldering-kit making, sumo-bot building and competing and Lego League introduction. “I think it is just cool how we can turn inanimate objects, like metal parts, into something that moves and does what we program it to do,” Luke Kronzer, 12, said. The rising seventh grader was attending his first robotics camp with FHS and hopes to one day become a FRC club member. “I think it’ll be fun and a good experience for me and anyone else,” Luke said. FRC members lead the campers throughout the week in the different activities. They learn the skills throughout the year by attending courses and preparing for competitions and share their knowledge with the rising seventh through ninth graders. “On the first day I taught these kids how to use Solid Works, which is a computer and design program which you can use to create engineering parts and put them together in assemblies,” Grayson Bruner, 17, said. Bruner created the lesson plans and instructions for the entire Solid Works process. “It [the camp] is great,
because it gets these kids into the fields of engineering and robotics and computers,” he added. Jane Skinner, FHS teacher and robotics camp co-coordinator, admits that much of the camp’s success should be credited towards the FRC students. “I think one of the biggest pluses of this program is that it’s run by our robotics students, and so the middle school students, they are learning from the high school students, and they really like that,” Skinner said. Camp fees were $125, which covered materials, a take-home kit and equipment maintenance. The remainder of the funds helps the FRC throughout the year. Jill Hudson, FHS technology and engineering teacher and camp co-coordinator, and Skinner work together for months each year to get the camp scheduled exactly the way they want it – with the help of their students. “We’ve gotten it [the planning process] down to a couple of months off and on … A lot of the things the high school students are preparing for this camp,” Hudson said. Hudson and Skinner even get some of their campers to join the FRC once they enter into high school. “It consumes a lot of time, but for some reason we do keep coming back. It’s exciting to watch these kids and to see their enthusiasm and to see them learn and grow throughout their four years from the time they come in as freshmen with us until the time they come in as seniors,” Skinner said.

Ossoli Circle installed Charlotte Miller, third from left, as its new president May 12. Other Ossoli Circle officers, from left, are Janet Oaks, past president and yearbook honoree; Nancy Carmon, first vice president/elect; and Roberta Pedigo, past president. The first women's club in Knoxville and in Tennessee and the first club in the South to join the General Federation of Women's Clubs, Ossoli Circle was organized Nov. 20, 1885, when Lizzie Crozier French called 12 other women together to form a literary society intended to advance their intellectual and moral development through organization. At the suggestion of the first president, Mary Boyce Temple, they named it after New England intellectual and women's rights advocate Margaret Fuller Ossoli (1810-1850). From 1885 to 1890 the Tennessee Female Institute, where French was principal, served as the first home of the Ossoli Circle. In 1933, Ossoli Circle moved into its own clubhouse at 2511 Kingston Pike, near Tyson Park, where it remains today a social, cultural and intellectual center for Knoxville women.

The Bagi family just moved to Farragut from New Jersey last summer, but their acclimation has been smooth. “Coming form a big city to a smaller one is a big change,” Shilpa Bagi, Reva’s mother, said. “But after all they have been
getting from Tennessee, not only this, but she has done a lot of things in school,” Bagi added. Reva also is involved in the FIS 4H club, where she was a top four finalist in its essay contest. She enjoys reading, playing tennis and being on swim team in her spare time. She hopes to one day become a business lawyer or a nutritionist. “It’s just a hard decision,” Reva said.

Organize clutter? No way! Well, I guess there’s always a way. You could go to one of those organizer stores and get shelves, storage containers, a label gun, jars, little drawers and a hundred other cutesy products that ring your desire-to-be-organized chimes, but guess what! If you really took on a project to organize your clutter, you’d end up with a h o m e t h a t r e s e m - Pam bles your Young l o c a l Make it Goodwill store. Fun! Clutter is the greatest destroyer of peace in a home. There is a way to bring more peace and it starts with getting rid of what you own that no longer serves you. Get the Picture Just imagine your home peaceful and free of clutter as I take you on a make-believe tour of your home, room-by-room. •Your Children’s Bedrooms They hold your children’s currently loved toys, games and books and their closets and drawers hold just the garments that fit them and are in season now. Beds are made because you’ve provided your children with easy bedspreads. The floors are vacuumed and dusted because your children have chore charts on their bulletin boards and they know what’s required of them. It’s also easy for them to dust and vacuum because the floors are clear of dirty clothes, clean clothes, toys, books, games and garbage. That’s because you’ve provided them with clothes hampers, simple ways to hang up garments, dresser drawers that are easy for them to open, containers for toys, shelves for books and games and a
waste paper basket. •Your Bedroom It invites you to rest and promises intimacy and comfy sleep. It’s free of distraction. No television. A chair for relaxation and contemplation is free of the clothes you wore yesterday and the day before. It beckons you to sit and enjoy a hot cup of tea. One (1) current magazine shares space with a single pink rosebud in a vase and a scented candle on the small table beside the chair. The floor is vacuumed and the room smells fresh and clean. •Your Closet I hope I didn’t blow your peaceful visualization by bringing up your closet, as I’ve seen women shrivel at the thought of having me, or anyone see their closets. Ah, but your closet is beautiful! It holds slacks, blouses, shirts, jeans, shoes, scarves, skirts and dresses. You love EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING fits. It smells fresh, like sheets straight off a clothesline. (I’m sure many of my readers have never smelled that smell.) There’s order in your closet and it’s easy and fun to decide what to wear. •Your Kitchen The kitchen is the heart of your home and its counters are clean and clear. It invites everyone to enjoy its tantalizing aromas of good cooking and because it’s maintained, the family is eager to help with clean-up after meals. There’s no IPOD (Important Pile of Decisions) on the kitchen table or counter. The cupboard shelves are clean and hold wholesome foods. The refrigerator is clean and the contents are tempting. All processed foods (which there are few) have current dates for consumption. • Your Living Room The living room has room for family and friends to, uhhh . . . live. The sofa is free of clean laundry to fold and put away and dirty laundry because no one changes clothes in there. There are no IPODs on the coffee table, end tables or floor space. The room is
ORANGE TEES T-SHIRTS
vacuumed and the furniture is dusted and polished, because there are clear surfaces in which to perform those tasks. • Your Family Room The family room is filled with the joyous vibes of fun and entertainment, not the clutter of bad habits. There’s an organized shelf of games complete with all their parts. Puzzles, books, videos, CDs and art supplies are organized and stored for easy access. No IPODs or dried up food from last night’s Family Pizza and Movie time. • The Garage The car is in the garage because there’s room for it. The garden tools, bicycles, sports equipment, outdoor toys are organized and easy to get to. This imaginary tour of your home may be far-fetched right now, but if you’re serious about creating peace in your home, you can start by committing to a weekly trip to Goodwill with as much clutter as you can collect and leave there. The second recommendation is to stop buying what ends up being clutter. The next time you’re tempted to purchase something for your children, or grandchildren, imagine it on the floor of their rooms or the family room. Stop clutter at the cash register. De-cluttering is like going on a diet Establishing peace in your home by getting rid of clutter is no different than going on a diet to lose weight. If you really want peace, you have to reduce more clutter than you take in. When I got organized in 1977, I was 35 and my kids were four, nine and twelve. I made it a habit to fill my trunk every week and donate it to
unit. You can buy the item back if you absolutely need it and help the good work Goodwill does. You can also go to Goodwill just to visit your stuff. Peace. To see what Pam’s got up her cyber-sleeve, check out www.cluborganized.com. Want to get organized? Join the club!

In my years teaching people to de-clutter, the one thing I kept hearing was, “what if I give this away and then I need it?” I discovered the answer and it has helped thousands, if not millions.

‘Cub-struction’ comes to First Farragut UMC ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
The Toquoa area Boy Scouts hosted their annual summer Cub Scout camp June 2-6 at First Farragut United Methodist Church, 12733 Kingstion Pike, for a full week of “cub-struction” activities. The almost seven-hour days were packed with games, BB gun and archery shooting, hiking, sports and countless rounds of capture-the-flag. But the fun and
games are just a part of making this summer camp experience a unique one, attracting campers from the Farragut, Bearden, West Hills, Hardin Valley, Loudon County and Northshore areas. “The purpose of Cub Scout Day supplementary program for individual Cub Scout packs [is] they can have a really positive summer experience,” Jared Pickens, Toqua senior district executive, said. “Throughout the fall they are working in their small groups –
they are going hiking and camping and fishing and doing shooting sports and all these fun things, and then in the summer we do that, but we also focus on helping them get a head start on different achievements that they may want to focus on,” he added. Pickens and other camp coordinators had to think of new ways to get the 217 campers excited this year, so they brought in guest speakers in the STEM See SCOUTS on Page 8B

Saint John Neumann Catholic School preschool students recently learned about life and living things with a project involving hatching chicks and caring for caterpillars. The lessons were all part of a curriculum based on life, Beth Mattingly, SJNCC preschool director, said. As the preschool’s first year drew to a close, its students were taught about plant development, worms, how caterpillars turn into butterflies and how chicks hatch. The youngsters recently saw the fruits of their labors when they had the opportunity to release the butterflies and see the chicks hatch. Pictured are Mattingly, who shows Eile Lenihan, left, and Cadence Buckle how to hold a newly born chick.

people to walk in and have a chat — an unhurried chat. So many times anymore people are very much in a hurry and they don’t take that southern tradition moment to know their neighbors at all, so it is one way I can make myself remember that tradition and value it,” Whiting added. Jane and Bill Palmer, former Farragut teachers, are on their 18th year of Farragut volunteering on the events team. Events that make the top of their favorites list include Freaky Friday and the Fishing Rodeo. “I think as citizens of the
town of Farragut, it is always our philosophy that you make something better when you are involved in it, and we just wanted to give back. Farragut does a lot for us as members of the community, and we wanted to be able to reach out and give back to the people that live here,” Jane said. Bill Palmer, former FHS teacher and track coach, enjoys working with the children at the events most. “It’s always fun to take part in those activities. It’s a lot of fun to watch those kids catch their first fish or come by in those costumes for candy, cookies and popcorn and those type things,” Bill said.
“All in all, I think it’s a repayment for things we have seen that the Town has done great from the community and try to help out as best we can, especially for the children,” he added. Carson, Whiting and the Parkers each have commitments outside of their volunteer work, ranging in full-time jobs, part-time jobs or personal research. “I believe its one of the most well run towns in the nation so I am going to continue to learn from the people that are involved in the community,” Carson added.

The camp use to take place at
Farragut Intermediate School and changed locations in 2010, but Pickens does not plan on changing locations again any time soon. The atmosphere provides consistency for Pickens and the rest of the coordinating team to ensure the boys have a positive experience. “Everything is my favorite part … everything,” Hamilton McDonald, 7, said.

After a little more than a year in the Farragut area, Reveiz & Associates Insurance Services at 104 S. David Lane continues to be blessed, owner Fuad Reveiz said. “We’re doing well,” he said. “We’re like any young organization. There’s some initial struggles — as with anything worthwhile — but taking the big picture in mind, we’ve been really blessed.” One reason for that blessing, Reveiz said, is his company represents great insurance companies. By working with numerous insurance carriers, such as Travelers, Grange, Auto-Owners, MetLife, Safeco, Progressive and others, Reveiz & Associates can provide those multiple quotes. For the customer, that means more options and better prices, he said. “Because we’re independent, we do not depend on one quote,” he said. “We bring multiple quotes to our customers.” Reveiz, a property and casualty life and health specialist, operates the business with George Allen, a property and casualty specialist, and Becky Smith, office manager and

Tennessee State Bank’s Turkey Creek location, 11470 Parkside Drive, celebrated its five-year anniversary Tuesday, June 24, by welcoming the community to a celebration. The public joined the bank’s staff for heavy hors d’oeuvres, live music, giveaways, door prizes and a chance to win some money in the TSB cash machine. “Tennessee State Bank would like to take the time to thank their loyal customers and celebrate how far they have come together,” Lisa Radmore, vice president of marketing with Tennessee State Bank, said. Lora Parker, a customer from Sevierville, said she thought the celebration event was wonderful. “Not a lot of banks would do this kind of celebration for their customers,” Parker said. “The bank’s got a nice hometown feel.” “This is the bank we bought
our house from,” Kirt Parker said. “Oh, it’s fabulous,” banking customer Julia Hurley, a realtor with Keller Williams Real Estate, said about the celebration. “We enjoy the band, the hospitality and the service is excellent here,” another customer, Janice Helton, said. “They always put the customers first,” Hurley said. “This is such a good event to come to,” Helton added. “We were here when they opened,” Helton’s husband, Gale Helton, said. “We like the hospitality.” While still somewhat new to the Farragut area, the bank has a long history as it celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2012. “Over the past five years, Tennessee State Bank has enjoyed growing with the Turkey Creek area and the surrounding businesses,” Radmore said.

Chance meeting blossoms into ‘Le Noir’ Belgian Southern Bistro
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
A chance meeting 20 years ago blossomed into a business partnership for Chantal Love and Jan Van Geyt, who opened “Le Noir” A Belgian Southern Bistro Friday, April 25, at 123 E. Broadway in downtown Lenoir City. Love said since the bistro’s opening, business has been great. “We get groups come in — book clubs, golf groups,” she said. “We’re blessed in the way everybody has accepted us,” Van Geyt said. “We have lots of return customers already.” The bistro will host a wine pairing starting at 6 p.m., Monday, July 21, in the restaurant. More information about can be found on its website: www.abelgianbistro.com. The restaurant features Belgian dishes, as well as some in which the owners combined American favorites with a Belgian flair. Le Noir’s signature dish is the

chicken and waffles, but Van Geyt said the pork chops with hunter sauce also is popular. Love and Van Geyt met about 20 years ago while both were on their way home. “I had the Belgian flag with the
bee on my car,” Love said. “Jan saw it and followed me home.” Van Geyt asked her about the flag, and she told him she was from Belgium. He told her he was, too, and they kept in touch through the years.
Love left Belgium after she married Henry Love from Maryville. She had worked in the sensory lab at Bush Brothers and, at the same time, she was making Belgian waffles at festivals. She developed a brownie made with
whole wheat and Belgian chocolate, which she sold at Fresh Market. Van Geyt had lived in the area previously but he moved around and worked at O’Charley’s, Amerigo and the Virgin Islands before going into business at Le Noir. Love said they have an interest in food, had the Belgian recipes and talked about opening a restaurant for a long time; however, nothing came of it until last August. “I think it was just the right time,” Van Geyt said. He was in the Virgin Islands, working as a food and beverage manager in a resort, when a friend told him a building in downtown Lenoir City was empty, so he called Love, he said. “We wanted the old European feel, and this old building was perfect,” Love said. “It’s a relaxed atmosphere,” Love said about the bistro. “It has all the Belgian beers, and people tell us they like being here.”

Connatser said she loves being at the Turkey Creek branch. “I love everyone I work with and work for, and I love all the customers,” she said. “The customers are definitely worth the job itself, getting to help them with their everyday banking needs. I feel like my customers are good people and good friends. “It has been great to watch the Turkey Creek community develop into a thriving area of Knoxville over the years.” Connatser said.
company. Reveiz & Associates also works with Blake Calahan CPA, which shares space with Reveiz & Associates, to serve businesses’ needs. Reveiz opened the business May 1, 2013, and brought Allen and Smith aboard. Reveiz previously worked with Carriage Hill Insurance in Lenoir City. A former Tennessee Volunteers placekicker in the early 1980s, Reveiz went on to kick in the National Football League with Miami, Minnesota and San Diego between 1985 and 1996. He briefly held the NFL record for most consecutive field goals made. Reveiz then went into construction before a friend encouraged him to look into insurance.
