Town to pursue Russell House purchase ■

STEPHANIE EDWARDS Correspondent

Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen discussed the possible purchase of the historic Russell House property during its Thursday, June 27, meeting. The board voted to submit a letter of intent to purchase the property at 11401 Kingston Pike from the Russell family. “For years Town staff has been intrigued by the use of the Russell House,” Town attorHale ney Tom Hale said. “The house is listed on the National Register and is one if not the oldest structure in the town of Farragut.” According to the Knox Heritage website, the house was constructed for Samuel Martin in 1835 as an inn and was visited by President Andrew Jackson. Avery Russell purchased the

house from Martin around the time of the Civil War. Russell converted it into a single family home for his family, and they have remained in the home for six generations. The house served as a hospital for soldiers injured at the Battle of Campbell Station. Town officials asked local commercial real estate expert and developer Jim Nixon to begin researching what would be required to properly restore and redevelop the historic property Nixon prior to the town formalizing any purchase of the property and residence. Nixon has volunteered his time and sought out the opinions of historic restoration professionals as well as met with other key individuals including other contractors and members of the See RUSSELL on Page 3A

Town officials are in talks to acquire the historic Russell home, which sits on property located at the corner of Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike. The house, seen here before roofers removed the chimneys and roofed over them, is being offered for about $1.25 million.

Town Business Privilege ■ License renewal at hand

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

If you’re a Farragut business that didn’t fill out and submit a renewal notice for your business privilege license before the June 30 deadline, don’t worry. Having just completed the first fiscal year of business privilege license requirements for all businesses physically located within Town limits, renewals are due. However, with 525 businesses listed within town of Farragut limits that have obtained a business privilege license as of June 27, a two-month grace period is underway. Though Town ordinance stipulates all business license renewals should be turned into Town Hall no later than June 30 each year — unless the license were obtained in June 2013, for example, therefore giving you until June 30, 2014 to renew — Ordinance Title 5, Chapter 3, Section 5-308, also stipulates a grace period through Aug. 31. However, “In the event a business fails to submit its request for renewal of its existing license on or before August 31, its license shall lapse and a new license must be applied for and the proper fee [currently $15] paid as with any new license,” Section 5-308 also stipulates. As for timing of business license renewal, “The business shall renew the license upon the

notification from the town of Farragut,” Section 5-308 further stipulates. However, Town administrator David Smoak said Town officials have been “talking to the Farragut Business Alliance, Allison Sousa [executive director], I know she’s going to be sending reminders out. She’s got a list of everybody who applies for a business license and wants to be on an e-mail list.” Wanting to be clear about having to do a relatively quick renewal after purchasing a new business privilege license, Smoak said that upon his communication with Sousa, “If you come in and get a [new] license in March, April or May, you’ll still need to renew” on or before June 30 “of that same year.” Smoak pointed out that businesses also could “go on line to our website [www.townoffarragut.org] and fill out a renewal form.” That form can be found on the home page’s left side and click on “online form center,” then click onto “business privilege license renewal form.” “I don’t think it takes any time at all, and e-mail that back into Allison Myers, our recorder [amyers@townoffarragut.org],” Smoak added. Also, “You could print one out and fill in out and turn it in here at Town Hall,” Smoak said. As for why the Town funnels See LICENSE on Page 2A

Farragut Municipal Planning Commission approved the town of Farragut outdoor classroom’s site plan at its meeting Thursday, June 20. “Back in 2010, I had the opportunity to attend an outdoor classroom celebration at Halls outdoor classroom in North Knoxville,” Town stormwater coordinator Jason Scott said. “The community was highly involved in that event. The teachers were there. The kids were there. I got to really see what an outdoor classroom space is.” Scott contrasted the class-

room space with parks. “People are really familiar with the parks and walk-through parks, and it’s kind of a passive experience,” Scott said. “But an outdoor classroom is a very hands-on experience where people were going to the space and have the opportunity to create and change the space itself.” Seeing an outdoor classroom drove him to action. “So after seeing that, I came back to the Town and consulted with our parks and leisure services director, and I tried to find, to see if we had perhaps some land that we weren’t using that wasn’t pre-designated to something else,” he said. “And we identified this plot, which was

actually very close to the high school, which was ideal.” A system to RSVP sections will get developed, he said. “With this outdoor classroom, the idea is that we’re looking to put in an interactive space that will engage the community at large, organizations, Boy Scout troops ... short- and long-term projects, as well as the high school itself,” he said. Commissioner Noah Myers agreed with Scott on the ideal nature of the location for the classroom. “We couldn’t have found a better spot for it, just in the epicenter of the schools,” Myers said.

Eleven schools kicked off their School Technology training Monday, June 3. The session marks the first of a two-part weeklong training inservice for the schools that won the School Technology Challenge earlier this year. The School Technology Challenge gave all Knox County schools an opportunity to apply for the grant to begin a “1:1 technology effort,” meaning each student and teacher in the school would receive some sort of personalized electronic learning device such as a tablet or laptop. Twenty-eight elementary, middle and high schools applied for the grant, but only 11 schools were chosen. These

include Bearden High, West Valley Middle, Corryton Elementary, Hall Elementary, Holston Middle, Mooreland Heights Elementary, Norwood Elementary, South-Doyle High, Sterchi Elementary, Vine Middle and Bonny Kate Elementary, .

The first week of training was theory driven, while the second week, scheduled for Monday, July 29 through Friday, Aug. 2, will focus on how to convert these theories into realities. See CHALLENGE on Page 2A

The training events are held at BHS and the Sarah Simpson Professional Development Center. “It’s going to change the culture of how we teach, ultimately benefiting the students,” BHS principal Dr. John Bartlett said on the last day of the first week’s training. “Bearden High School is about the students and student learning. We’re going to be able to reach every child,” Bartlett added. BHS already started experimenting with this type of technological implementation within their school, starting with just a handful of teachers encouraging students to bring in their own laptops or tablets and setting up a student-accessible Wi-Fi, but earning this grant brings it to a whole new level. “This is where we are headed in education … we know that this provides the tools for every child to learn at a higher level. It assesses them and helps them grow,” Bartlett said. Bartlett hopes for improved test scores in the near future with this education revolution. West Valley Middle School principal Renee Kelly enjoyed every minute of the weeklong training session and cannot wait for the second. “The training was phenomenal. It was well thought out, well planned and professionally

implemented. It was great,” Kelly said. Her school will receive Macbook Pro laptops for each student and faculty member. She also is an excited owner of a new Twitter account, which she created during training. “I think that this will just give us another tool to make sure our students are college ready and career prepared to extend learning beyond the classroom,” Kelly said. “Possibilities are endless for kids as a result of the internet. We don’t all learn the same way, so for students that enjoy computer-based learning … it gives them a way to compliment their learning style,” Kelly added. Elementary school teachers and principals learned how to integrate programs such at Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and other education-related social media programs into every day lesson plans. The schools are ready to put themselves at risk, knowing ahead of time that many of the students will know just as much or more than the teachers about the programs in use. If the 11 pilot schools show improvements on the charts with the technology in place, KCS will slowly implement this program into each school, officials said.

we’re very proud of.” Littleton mentioned last year’s reduction of rates by the board, though he did not recommend that for this budget. “Although these budgets are tight, they’re on purpose,”

Board of Mayor and Aldermen figured that part out, so now we get to do the exciting part.” In other business, commission approved a Panda Express site plan, to be located at 11482 Parkside Drive. “There was a site plan approved for this location actu-

ally in December, but that project has transitioned into a freestanding restaurant,” Ruth Viergutz Hawk, Community Development director, said. Commission also approved the final plat for phase one of the Villas at Anchor Park.

Littleton said. “We’re making plans for the future. We’re spending money on the system. We’re putting investment in the system.” He called the electric budget aggressive. “For the third year in a row, we are investing a tremendous amount of money in the electri-

cal system,” he said. “For lack of better terms, I hate to use clichés, but trying to make the system bulletproof, if you will. We can essentially switch from any place on our system to keep customers in power during a failure of any nature. I’m very pleased about that.” “I’m also pleased that we’re

Russell family. “I was asked to evaluate options and provide answers,” Nixon said. “Nobody knew what we should do with it or what it would cost. We determined moving it would not be an option. We decided we would leave it there, save it and renovate it if possible.” Frank Sparkman from Sparkman and Associates Architecture Knoxville pointed out that the property itself has its own historical significance in addition to that of the residence. “David Campbell actually built a fort there in 1787,” Sparkman said. “For at least 226 years, this has been an important site.” He went on to discuss the house’s potential. “It has its problems, but basically, it has good bones and structure,” Sparkman said. “It would need a new roof; the roof would need to be a wood shingle roof. There are a lot of changes that would need to be done to make it usable according to current codes; however, it can be made exempt because it is on the National Register.” “It looks like it could be lived

in,” he said. “There’s nothing scary about it. You could replace [newer] items with original material and design. It’s doable within the budget we created.” Hale has been working on the negotiation with the Russell family. The initial asking price was $1.8 million, but the family has since come down to $1.25 million, with $500,000 at closing. The remaining $750,000 would be paid in three installments over the course of the next three years. The decision to pursue the purchase of the Russell Home did impact the FY2014 budget, which passed its second reading during the meeting. This change required Town staff to move the McFee Park Phase III design and construction forward a year from FY2014 and FY2015. However, Town administrator David Smoak pointed out it could be possible for a new revenue source to come in over the next fiscal year. Additionally, Mayor Ralph McGill said he would like to see a fundraising campaign to be held to help fund renovations at the Russell House. “I would like to set a goal of $1 million; I would be happy to lead that effort,” McGill said.

As we celebrate the nation’s 237th Independence Day, Farragut celebrates 1/3 of a century as a self-directed municipality. In that time it has become a case study in lean, unobtrusive, responsive, accountable, pay-asyou-go local government; the kind that America’s founders envisioned and fought for. Jefferson’s famous quote, “That government governs best which governs least.” has been the watchword of our success. But it is not in the nature of Bob governments to Markli remain Alderman small, and Town of the public Farragut must be ever vigilant to ensure that their government doesn’t end up running them. As a general rule, governments are a bad bargain and tend to be the least efficient way of doing anything. In Farragut we police ourselves and contract privately to have our garbage picked up and our fires put out rather than cre-

ating monopoly government agencies (with their inevitable fraud, waste and corruption) to do those things for us that free enterprise, with competition and market pressures can do so much more efficiently. We are focused on adding value by making our Town more accessible to quality development, business and industry; and developing the enviable resources at our disposal. Sitting astride two major Interstates, a major railway and waterway and being a gateway to the Nation’s most visited park, we have over 100,000 cars passing our Interstate exits every day, yet we remain functionally invisible. In spite of this, and due in no small part to our favorable tax structure, we have become the hospitality hub of the County. Let’s not be so shortsighted as to kill the proverbial goose that lays the golden eggs by passing a Hotel/Motel tax to penalize those who have chosen to invest in our community and draw visitors to us from the Interstate. Additionally, the area’s most significant historic structure sits slowly decaying at the Town’s key intersection.

• With regard to the Noise Ordinance article in the 20 June 2013 issue of the farragutpress, I think it is a great idea, as noise generated within the confines of the town of Farragut does not recognize the incorporated boundaries of the town of Farragut and spills into immediately adjacent areas of Knox County. A uniform standard/ordinance is needed for both the town of Farragut and Knox County. • I am writing a proposition to the town of Farragut and all of its occupants. I have noticed recently that Farragut lacks community, social events. I realize that I say this so close to the Farragut Fourth of July parade and the Red, White & Blues Festival, but these events are once a year events. Farragut could host concerts in the parks where families could eat their picnic dinners and listen to music. There could be contests like chili cook-offs or pumpkin carving. If these events are held, the people of Farragut will be drawn closer into a tighter community. • Mr. Mayor, I was most gratified

to read the story about the decision by the Town to purchase the Russell House. This is really great news, and I look forward to the completion of this project. Please give my thanks to the rest of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. • In regards to the people who called in who are so upset that other people have called in complaining about their church blocking traffic and making it difficult for people to get to and from where they need to go on Sundays, well of course it doesn’t bother you that your church is impeding and obstructing traffic because it is your church, they are benefiting you. Granted, the police officers are off duty and being paid privately, I am assuming by the church. That still does not give the church or the police officers license to close off two lanes of traffic. Putting a squad car and the church trucks, with the church logo in the center lane, should be more than sufficient. No need to be blocking any more lanes of traffic than that. Heaven forbid there should be an emergency and an ambulance or a fire truck or

another police, or sheriff’s, vehicle should need to access that part of Kingston Pike. Someone could be hurt, or someone could die, because of the few short minutes, or seconds. Put yourself in the shoes of those that your church inconveniences for just a moment. … • Why is it every single week in “Police Reports” you see multiple incidents of people calling the police to report something has been stolen from their unlocked vehicle? The key word being, unlocked. It doesn’t take long to roll up your windows and lock your car. You are only encouraging, aiding and abetting thugs when you leave items in your car that are desirable to them and you leave your car unlocked. You can only blame yourself and the thug. • This week is Fourth of July, we’re celebrating our nation’s birthday and one thing we seem to have forgotten over the years is common courtesy and common respect. If you are planning parties and shooting off fireworks, please remember a lot of people have to work Friday morning, July 5, and

the worst thing was when they let Kingston Pike traffic stop for so long that the church parking lot was full, the cars were backed up across Kingston Pike, so the Kingston Pike traffic could not move along and the vehicles trying to get into the parking lot could not get in. Super, super gridlock. This is on Sundays as well. In general, the control of the traffic on Sundays is poorly handled by the police officers. • Wow, I called to complain about not being able to get in and out of my subdivision because of the church traffic. I am appalled that the folks calling in after my comment seemed to think that their church activities are way more important than anything I could possibly be doing. I have been a caregiver for the last 10 years. I was also instructed to “go to church.” Thank goodness we live in a country where religion is not forced on its citizens. It is so sad how some religious people feel that everyone else is in the wrong. It makes me really sorry that people feel like that here in Farragut.

No one wanted the children not to be safe and we understand traffic control. Certainly we don’t need a snide invitation to join that church. Lot’s of us belong to a church of our choosing that we are also proud to be a part of. The problem is with the police officers who have apparently have never been trained for traffic control. [The officers] don’t watch the traffic light just below the church, and yes, you can see that light while standing on Kingston Pike. So they frequently stop traffic while the light is green. Obviously, if they did it while the light was red there would be less traffic back up. Also,

FHS-UT-Vikings trek earns Clabo Knox Hall of Fame ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

During an athletic career that included a first-hand view of NFL Hall of Fame coach Bud Grant’s effective way of dealing with player egos, Neil Clabo has one major regret about his nomination into Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. “My biggest fan, my mother [Peggy], is not here to see it,” said Clabo, Allstate and Parade All-American tailback/defensive back/kicker with Farragut High School football (Class of 1971) and Tennessee Volunteers All-SEC punter who punted in Super Bowl XI for Grant’s Minnesota Vikings. Saying Peggy was greatly disappointed that Neil wasn’t chosen for GKSHF during her lifetime, “I’m sure she’s up there, and she’ll see it all,” Clabo added about the Thursday, July 11 induction ceremony in Knoxville Convention Center. As for UT, “Probably the main reason” for choosing the Vols “was because my [parents] would get to a chance to watch me, and all my aunts and uncles and cousins,” he said. Also an All-state basketball player

The Farragut branch of Knox County Public Library obviously offers access to books, but that’s just the beginning of the library’s wide array of offerings. “We offer books, audio books, children’s DVDs and video cassettes,” said Marilyn Jones, Farragut branch manager. “We have computers for public use.” Library patrons also can have items sent from other libraries in the Knox County system to Farragut branch library for pick up.

at FHS, Clabo said he also was recruited as a running back or defensive back by “Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Notre Dame.” As an NFL rookie punter, Clabo recalled the painful memory of his Vikings being knocked out of the 1975 NFC playoffs by Dallas thanks to a Roger Stauback to Drew Pearson desperation “Hail-Mary” pass in the final few seconds. “You might could have compared it to a funeral … it was heartbreaking,” said Clabo, an “inschool suspension” supervisor at FHS for more than 30 years. “I think we would have ended up winning the Super Bowl.” Rebounding a Clabo year later to reach Super Bowl XI in Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, “We pretty much got kicked,” Clabo, 60, recalled about Oakland’s blowout victory. “I think I punted quite a bit.”

Halle and Jake Bennett read at the Farragut branch library.

“For the most part, with the books, those go back and forth, who happens to have one available at the moment,” Jones said. “But only main library has the CD music collection and also the feature film and documentary collection.”

Those items, as well as DVDs of television shows, can be requested, online or in person at the library, to be sent to Farragut branch library. “[PBS television show] See LIBRARY on Page 10A

A Kid's Nature Painting class will take place from 9 to 11 a.m., Saturday, July 13, at Farragut Town Hall. “It is an arts and crafts class aimed at children, 6 and older, and basically, in the spirit of the summer season, we’re going to go outside and explore nature a little bit and see what shapes and forms the kids react to, like the leaves, flowers, that sort of thing, and they can collect whatever inspires them,” said class instructor Angela Polly. “We’ll bring it back inside, and we’ll use those artifacts from nature as an imprint or stencil to create a layered paint-

ing with different colors.” The cost is $15, and the registration and payment deadline is Friday, July 12. “The objects themselves won’t be incorporated in the piece,” Polly said. “We’ll use the silhouette of the object. It’s to teach the kids about negative and positive space. ... The object itself is the positive, and the imprint it leaves on the canvas would be a negative.” She defined positive and negative space. “If you think about positive as something that’s there, something that you can see and touch and feel and then you think about negSee PAINTING on Page 11A

Annual FHS Junior Cheer Camp July 8 ■

COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com

Farragut High School’s cheerleading team is kicking into high gear for the summer as they prepare the annual Junior Cheer Camp scheduled July 8 - 11. The camp is an event that has taken place “longer than I’ve been around,” coach Denise Baughman said. The four-day long camp will take place in the FHS gym and will go from 6 to 8 p.m. While attending, the campers will have the opportunity to learn new skills, dances and cheers that could either spark an interest in cheering or grow the passion fonder. Many of the current FHS cheerleaders know this is true from experience, such as 14-year-old Darby Faulkner.

“When I was little I did it … was really fun and cool to see older cheerleaders and look up to them. That’s what kind of got me started with cheerleading,” said Faulkner, a rising freshmen on the cheerleading team and first time camp counselor. “To be the one to be able to teach little kids, that’ll be fun,” she added. Baughman, FHS math teacher and third year coach, is thrilled to host another year of a camp that many young girls remember for a lifetime. “Throughout the year I’m leading them, so being able to see the high school girls lead the smaller girls, passing that on to them, that’s my favorite part,” Baughman said.

It was 2 a.m. and I sat sniveling in my pajamas at my computer. I had decided to call my sister in the morning before our families got together for the 4th of July festivities and tell her I would not be writing a “humorous” book about organizing household finances with her. The reason was simple; I had no business telling anyone what to do when it Pam came to Young money. At Make it the not-sotender age Fun! of 59 I had no retirement, no savings and I was $26,000.00 in credit card debt! The book we were to write together would absolutely get me out of debt, but my ethics would not allow me to be part of a lie. No way could I write a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do book. That was July 4, 2002, and one of those major pivotal moments in my life. I know how George Bailey in the movie “A Wonderful Life,” felt standing on the bridge contemplating suicide although I was never even close to doing that, I sent out a major request, “Help me God, help me.”

God breezes can come in strange ways. My God breeze came in the form of a question. “How old have you been acting when it comes to your finances?” I’d never put an age to my financial behavior. It was hard to answer the question at first, so I asked a question. “What do you mean?” “Well, think about it,” the questioner continued, “you are 59 years old and you aren’t concerned in the least about your retirement. You have the optimism of a child, when you see something you want you charge it. You use your credit cards as if they are your source of income. You know what the experts on finance all say is true, but you don’t want to mind them. Should I go on?” “NO! I get it!” The list made me think of my granddaughter, McKenzie. I’d just taken her shopping and she was a little I-Want machine. She had no concern for the cost or how she’d pay for it; she just wanted it, NOW. She was nine-years-old. “Okay, nine!” I said to my Interrogator. “Yes, Pam Young, you have an inner child, age nine, who has been running your books and if you want to help others who are in similar financial circumstances, get to know this little one, name her, get her cooperation and you will get out of debt. Oh, and you will enjoy the ride.” An angel came to me that night,

but she wasn’t an old man with a copy of Tom Sawyer’s “Huckleberry Finn,” she was a little girl with pigtails, freckles and a pouty mouth. She is my inner child complete with all the attributes of a nine-year-old, including the immaturity. I named her Nelly, because I perceived her as a real brat like the Nelly on Little House on the Prairie. I even built a website in her honor and called it the Brat Factor, because at the time I truly perceived Nelly as a really, really big brat. Every July 4th I not only celebrate our country’s independence, I celebrate my “conscious” relationship with Nelly and my freedom from unwanted behaviors. I no longer call Nelly a brat and I’ve even changed the name of my website to www.makeitfunanditwillgetdone.com, which of course was Nelly’s idea. In 11 short years she has gone from a brat to a happy child and with her cooperation I was able to get out of debt, lose 35 pounds and continue enjoying my life with childlike joy! Why not live by her motto: Make it fun and it will get done and watch what happens? For more from Pam Young go to www.makeitfunanditwillgetdone.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized, ways to lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view

The 2013 Tyson Clabo Offensive Line Football Camp, which took place Saturday, June 8, at Farragut High School, featured instruction from NFL players. Clabo former Farragut Admirals star (class of 2000) who is newly signed with the Miami Dolphins, and the Atlanta Falcons’ Garrett Rey-nolds ran drills and taught the fundamentals to kids entering eighth grade through just graduated high school seniors. “We’re having a lot of fun,” Clabo said. “I’m trying to really harp on the details a little bit, and I think it’s working. It kind of slows the process down a little bit – don’t get as much done as fast as you’d like – but I’d rather do it

slower and do it right than just speed through it.” Clabo said there are not many small camps such as his. “You can go to these universities and these large schools that have linemen camp where 300 people show up, and it’s easy to just get lost in the shuffle,” he said. “... That was my whole goal here with this thing was to keep the numbers down and really, really give the kids the one-on-one attention that it takes to be a good offensive lineman.” He said the camp started with stance. “It’s the building block for everything that you do,” Clabo said. “Everything starts from your stance, so if you can’t get in a good stance, it’s going to be difficult to

So we started really basic, and now we’re starting to get up a little bit to a little more complicated blocking sche-mes and stuff like that.” It is crucial for kids to know the fundamentals, he said. “No matter what level you want to play at, if all you want to do is go out here and play high school football, you want to do it as good as you possibly can and be the best at it that you can be,” he said. “And so you have to have a good fundamental base of knowledge, of technique to do that.”

Stigall champ again

Library From page 5A

‘Downton Abbey’ right now is very popular,” she said. “... And the music collection is extensive, so we have a lot of people taking advantage of that.” She said to “allow at least two to three full business days” after requesting to have something sent to the Farragut branch library for pick up. The length of a check out on an item varies, depending on the item format, Jones said.

Nicholas Stigall, level 8 gymnast at Tataru's Men's Gym-nastics Team, won his 40th consecutive all-around championships and his fourth consecutive Regional Championship in Dalton, Ga. April 6. Nicholas previously captured Tennessee Men's Gymnastics State Championship in Cookeville, March 16, claiming first place in all six men's events (floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and high bar). This marked his 5th consecutive state championship title win.

Sarah Bales, Mac Swicegood and Tess Waibel are the three senior captains who specifically lead junior camp. Swicegood, 16, is especially excited to be on the coaching side of the camp. “It’s fun to coach all the kids, and it’s just kind of eye opening

card on. They’re really great for checking your e-mail fast, that kind of thing.” The branch also has WiFi, she said. The library has a Summer Library Club, she said. “Children either read books or listen, depending on their age, and they get a reward for that,” she said. “The readers read for 20 hours, and listeners listen to 40 books.” The program will end July 31, but kids can still register, she said.

being in a coach’s position at camp and getting to see how much you can teach little girls in a week. It’s fun to see their progress at the end of the week,” Swicegood said. One aspect of the camp that makes it unique from others is the themed dress up days. Monday will be beach day, Tuesday uniforms, Wednesday

farmers and Thursday is centered on the showcase performance for family and friends. “A fun thing about junior camp is all the dress up days and seeing the girls come in all dressed up … to see their excitement and they come in ready with what they learned yesterday as well as learning new stuff,” Waibel said.

“Books, audio books and music CDs, three weeks,” she said. “DVDs and videos, one week.” Patrons can renew items twice, as long as there’s not a hold on the item, she said. There are rules regarding use of the public computers at the Farragut branch library, she said. “You must use your library card, and you have up to two sessions per day of up to one hour each,” she said. “And then we offer express computers that are good for about 15 minutes that you don’t have to use your library

From page 5A

ative as something that’s absent, something that you can’t see, that leaves an empty space,” she said. A class such as this gets children to think in a different way, she said. “For kids, it sort of opens their mind,” she said. “When they go out and they’re looking around, they look at things in a different context than they normally would. Normally they see trees and leaves and flowers and whatever, and they think of those things as the objects that they are, but in this case, they’ll be looking more at the shape and the form of the object, and they’ll be looking for interesting shapes.”

Though his brief NFL career ended after three seasons, Clabo recalled some memorable behindthe-scenes moments. “I was friends with [Hall of Fame quarterback] Fran Tarkenton” among other Vikings, Clabo said. “Don’t ever play him in poker, he’s got too much money, you can’t bluff him. He and I played for the [team] ping-pong championship at [pre-season] camp. He beat me 2-to-1 [games].” Recalling how Vikings Hall of Fame defensive tackle Carl Eller pitched a fit and made a scene, in front of Grant, because there were no pancakes on the team pregame menu, “That was great,” Clabo said. “Grant was a great

practical joker. … The next week everybody had a pancake the size of a 50-cent piece on their plate.” As an eighth-grader playing youth football in the mid-1960s, “I was about 5-foot-7, weighed about 120 pounds,” Clabo said. “My father [then FHS head coach Bill Clabo] held me back in the eighth grade. And after I graduated from eighth grade the second time I was 6-foot, 150. “It helped me tremendously,” Clabo added. About his nomination, “It’s a great honor and I appreciate it whoever voted for me or nominated me,” Clabo said. Neil Clabo, FHS Class of 1971 photo Photo submitted

PET FAIR

Village Veterinary Medical Center hosted its 4th Annual Pet Fair Saturday, May 11. The fair was complete with face painting by Faces Gone Wild, a teddy bear clinic, bounce house, Oak Ridge Police Department dogs and local animal rescues. Children even got a chance to see what it is like to be a vet. With the sun shining for the majority of the festivities, the pet fair was a huge success. The crowds were so plentiful, most people parked across the street in the Kroger parking lot.

Evolving Pattersons marks 20 years ■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

Pattersons Home Appliance Center in Knoxville celebrates its 20th anniversary in July, and the store has evolved over the years in everything from the physical look of the business to the name of the store. Back at the store’s ribbon cutting in 1993, the store sign read: “Pattersons Inc. Appliance Sales & Service,” according to a Press Enterprise story. While the business still offers both sales and service, one building is home to appliance sales, and another building next door has the parts and service, said Russ Limburg, sales manager at the location along Kingston Pike. “They opened the store here on this side, separating the parts and service from the new appliance sales, which allowed us to have more display space to maybe carry a little broader group of appliances or assortment of appliances,” he said. “We’ve handled several different brands over the years, but the mainstay from day one was the Whirlpool family of appliances, which is what we currently carry.” That family includes Amana, Maytag, Whirlpool, KitchenAid and Jenn-Air, he said.

Russ Limburg, sales manager, works at Pattersons Home Appliance Center in Knoxville.

“We have a few others that fill niches that the Whirlpool family does not fill, especially items like Vent-A-Hood ventilation systems, Holland grills, Hoshizaki ice machines,” he said. What sets Pattersons apart, he said, is that store personnel look

to help customers before, during and after the sale. “Not only do we sell the appliances, we will get involved on the front end if you’ve got plans, and you want us to help you,” he said. “Help lay out your appliances in your house or see what fits with

what you have in your cabinetry, we’ll do that. We’ll sell you the appliances, and we’ll be involved on the after end, whether it be through installations, whether it be through parts and services years down the road. We don’t just sell it and say goodbye. If you ever have a problem, you call us, and we’ll work on it from there.” Limburg, 61, of Kingston, said he has worked at Pattersons almost eight years and has had sales-related employment for the last 22 years. He thinks a good salesman has to listen to the customer. “You don’t listen and then take them to what you want them to buy,” he said. “You’ve got to listen to what they want and then show them what they’re wanting. You might show them other things that might be available, but the main thing is you’ve got to show them what they’re interested in.” The Knoxville store is the third location for Pattersons. The original store opened in 1965 in Harriman and remains the main office for the business, he said. Other locations are in Oak Ridge and Rockwood. The store is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays and closed Sundays.

By Business For Business

Celebrate entrepreneurial spirit As we celebrate o u r n a t i o n ’s i n d e p e n dence, we’d like to also give a Allison shout out to Farr- Sousa agut’s By Business, entrepreFor Business neurs. E n t repreneurs are, after all, the “independent ones” of the business world.

Entrepreneurs are brave. They oftentime take leaps of faith to pursue their dreams. More often than not, they “leap” on a shoestring budget, trusting that their concept, service, product or idea will be well received and supported by the community. Entrepreneurs are eager. They want to share the passion they feel for their business with others. In fact, it is often this passion that serves as their best sales tool and helps build critical relationships. They wrap their message in excitement and enthusiasm that can’t help but be contagious.

Entrepreneurs are adventuresome. They think outside the box. By nature, they want to try something new, no matter how scary the adventure might seem. Walk into a room to meet new people? No problem. Get up in front of a civic club to talk about your business? Done. Perhaps most importantly, entrepreneurs are critical to our community’s – and our nation’s – economy. According to the Small Business Administration, 52.6 percent of all retail sales, 46.8 percent of all wholesale sales and 24.8 percent of all manufacturing sales originate with small

businesses. While we have much to celebrate this Independence Day, we also have some room for concern as some key entrepreneurial statistics are starting to shrink. This fact means it is more important than ever that you help a brave, eager and adventuresome entrepreneur you might know, succeed. “By Business For Business” is a monthly column by Farragut Business Alliance executive director Allison Sousa.

Chapman’s drama shot earns U.S. Sr. Open bid Farragut’s 3-time majors player going to Omaha

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

To rub elbows with the likes of Tom Watson, sometimes you need a Watson-like moment of drama and glory. Farragut’s Walter Chapman, a two-time state PGA Player of the Year who earned his way into three PGA majors (1986 U.S. Open plus 1994 and 1996 PGA), imitated Watson’s memorable bunker hole-out shot that beat Jack Nicklaus in the 1982 U.S. Open. Chapman’s dramatic shot on a sudden-death playoff hole, which shocked some Nashville residents who saw one of their local players get left behind on the Hillwood Country Club course, earned Chapman a spot in this week’s U.S. Seniors Open alongside Watson and other past PGA greats. “My caddie went crazy. There were probably about 30

Hillwood Country Club members out there, because one of the guys in the playoff was a member there, and you could have heard a pin drop after I holed it,” Chapman said. “I got in a playoff, three of us for the one spot left. And we all three pared the first playoff hole, sudden death,” added Chapman, 1996 Tennessee State Open champion who’s Director of Instruction at Fairways & Greens. “We go to the second hole, a par 3. The first guy was right onto the green, the second guy hit it in the left bunker; I was the last guy to hit, I hit it in the left bunker. “We were both lying probably 20 feet from the hole,” Chapman added about the two bunker balls. “And I holed it. I hit it perfect. The greens were very fast … the ball was just trickling to the middle of the hole. And it kind of caught the pin, and the pin almost knocked it

Under huge playoff hole pressure, Walter Chapman fires his bunker shot onto the green and into the hole at No. 2, Hillwood Country Club in Nashville, to earn a spot in next week’s Senior U.S. Open in Omaha, Neb. Assisting Chapman is David Haase, his caddie and friend.

out. It hung on the lip for just a millisecond, then fell in.” With Chapman, 51, earning one of only two U.S. Seniors Open spots available among 80 players at Hillwood, next up is “the Old Man’s Open,” Chapman said about U.S. Seniors Open, to be played at Omaha Country Club, Omaha, Neb., July 11-14.

Looking back to 1986 U.S. Open, which was played at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southampton, N.Y., “We were playing a practice round and we got on the first tee and were just kind of waiting for somebody to play, and Jack Nicklaus came up, and Hale Irwin and Andy Bean,” Chapman said. “And

they’re waiting on a fourth, and Jack Nicklaus Jr. said, “If he doesn’t show up you can play with my dad and Hale Irwin and Andy Bean, Walt. I knew Jackie Nicklaus Jr., I played some college tournaments with him.” Unfortunately, “Ten minutes See CHAPMAN on Page 3B

Humbled by NFL cut, Reveiz finds calling as C-N coach ■ ALAN SLOAN

Tampa Bay’s rejection humbled him, Dan Reeves’ message encouraged him and Ken Sparks’ job offer invigorated him. From Nick Reveiz’s Christian perspective, an NFL team and two winning football coaches opened his eyes to a greater calling: college coaching. This former Farragut Admirals All-state linebacker and twotime state champion wrestler, an overachieving no-quit All-SEC linebacker/captain at Tennessee, had more growing to do as a Christian. “When I got cut from the Buccaneers in September of 2011, it really hurt. I think God kind of exposed my pride and my selfishness,” said Reveiz, a

graduate assistant at CarsonNewman College from January to April when head coach Ken Sparks elevated him to running backs coach. It was made official Friday, June 21. Upon being cut, “I remember driving 10 hours back to Knoxville just crying and wondering, ‘why, God why? Why would you take this away from me?’” Reveiz then “spend six months with my church as a youth ministry intern” through June 2012. Reveiz, 25, and wife, Brittany, were married in July 2012 and currently live in Farragut. “Once I got married I was like, 'I've got to help provide for me and my wife now,'” said Reveiz, who works out with C-N players See REVEIZ on page 3B

in order to better bond with them. “My dad [Fuad] kind of encouraged me to get into insurance. I got my insurance license and sold insurance for six months.” In November 2012, a Fellowship of Christian Athletes banquet with featured speaker Dan Reeves, a former NFL player and head coach who took four different teams to Super Bowls, was a career turning point. “Up until that point I had always looked at coaching as something I never really wanted to do,” Reveiz said. “He wasn’t talking about all the wins and the accolades, he was talking about the relationships he got to form and how people changed him, and how he had the opportunity through Christ to change others,” Reveiz added about Reeves. Approaching Reeves one-toone, Reveiz asked, “‘The biggest thing that I always struggle with in coaching is the time commitment. … I saw families and certain things sacrificed … Is it possible to have a family life and a Christian life’ in coaching? “He said, ‘Absolutely Nick,’” Reveiz added. “‘The biggest thing I can tell you about family, sometimes it’s not about quantity but quality. … I always made sure I got quality time.’ “That was encouraging to me. So that’s when me and my wife started praying about me getting into coaching. We just started contacting everybody we knew, every coach I ever played for. We felt like the Lord has opened up a door to pursue coaching.” Currently seeking a Master’s degree in theology at C-N after graduating from UT with a bachelor’s degree in business management, “I couldn’t be any happier,” Reveiz said. Despite Reveiz having limited high school and no college experience at running back, “My philosophy has always been, ‘you get the best people and they’re going to want to learn,’” Sparks said. “Every situation I’ve put him in, he’s been outstanding with it. “Nick Reveiz is a special young man who has a heart for the Lord,” Sparks added. “And he wants to build on a foundation that will touch a lot of lives.”

The ’94 one [Southern Hills, Tulsa, Okla.] I think I missed [the cut] by two shots.” As for next week, “I think I can do well if I play well,” Chapman said.

How's your curb appeal? Homes with high curb appeal command higher prices and take less time to sell. The way your house looks from the street — attractively landscaped and wellmaintained — can add thousands to its value and cut the time it takes to sell. But which projects pump up curb appeal most? Some spit and polish goes a long way, and so does a dose of color. Tip #1: Wash your house’s face Before you scrape any paint or plant more azaleas, wash the dirt, mildew, and general grunge off the outside of your house. REALTORS® say washing a house can add $10,000 to $15,000 to the sale prices of some houses. A bucket of soapy water and a long-handled, soft-bristled brush can remove the dust and dirt that have splashed onto your wood, vinyl, metal, stucco, brick, and fiber cement siding. Power washers (rental: $75 per day) can reveal the true color of your flagstone walkways. Wash your windows inside and out, swipe cobwebs from eaves, and hose down downspouts. Don’t forget your garage door, which was once bright white. If you can’t spray off the dirt, scrub it off with a solution of 1/2 cup trisodium

phosphate—TSP, available at grocery stores, hardware stores, and home improvement centers—dissolved in 1 gallon of water. Tip #2: Freshen the paint job The most commonly offered curb appeal advice from real estate pros and appraisers is to give the exterior of your home a good paint job. Buyers will instantly notice it, and appraisers will value it. Of course, painting is an expensive and time-consuming facelift. To paint a 3,000-square-foot home, figure on spending $375 to $600 on paint; $1,500 to $3,000 on labor. Your best bet is to match the paint you already have: Scrape off a little and ask your local paint store to match it. Resist the urge to make a statement with color. An appraiser will mark down the value of a house that’s painted a wildly different color from its competition. Tip #3: Regard the roof The condition of your roof is one of the first things buyers notice and appraisers assess. Missing, curled, or faded shingles add nothing to the look or value of your house. If your neighbors have maintained or replaced their

roofs, yours will look especially shabby. You can pay for roof repairs now, or pay for them later in a lower appraisal; appraisers will mark down the value by the cost of the repair. According to

Remodeling magazine’s 2013 Cost vs. Value Report, the average cost of a new asphalt shingle roof is about $18,488. Some tired roofs look a lot better after you remove 25 years of dirt, moss, lichens, and algae.

Don’t try cleaning your roof yourself: call a professional with the right tools and technique to clean it without damaging it. A 2,000 sq. ft. roof will take a day and $400 to See CURB on Page 8B

Curb From page 5B

$600 to clean professionally. Tip #4: Neaten the yard A well-manicured lawn, fresh mulch, and pruned shrubs boost the curb appeal of any home. Replace overgrown bushes with leafy plants and colorful annuals. Surround bushes and trees with dark or reddish-brown bark mulch, which gives a rich feel to the yard. Put a crisp edge on garden beds, pull weeds and invasive vines, and plant a few geraniums in pots. Green up your grass with lawn food and water. Cover bare spots with seeds and sod, get rid of crab grass, and mow regularly. Tip #5: Add a color splash Even a little color attracts and pleases the eye of would-be buyers. Plant a tulip border in the fall that will bloom in the spring. Dig a flowerbed by the mailbox and plant some pansies. Place a brightly colored bench or Adirondack chair on the front porch. Get a little daring, and paint the front door red or blue. These colorful touches won’t add to the value of our house: appraisers don’t give you extra points for a blue bench. But beautiful colors enhance curb appeal and help your house to sell faster. Tip #6: Glam your mailbox An upscale mailbox, architectural house numbers, or address plaques can make your house stand out. High-style die cast aluminum mailboxes range from $100 to $350. You can pick up a handsome, hand-painted mailbox for about $50. If you don’t buy new, at

least give your old mailbox a facelift with paint and new house numbers. These days, your local home improvement center or hardware stores has an impressive selection of decorative numbers. Architectural address plaques, which you tack to the house or plant in the yard, typically range from $80 to $200. Brass house numbers range from $3 to $11 each, depending on size and style. Tip #7: Fence yourself in A picket fence with a garden gate to frame the yard is an asset. Not only does it add visual punch to your property, appraisers will give extra value to a fence in good condition, although it has more impact in a family-oriented neighborhood than an upscale retirement community. Expect to pay $2,000 to $3,500 for a professionally installed gated picket fence 3 feet high and 100 feet long. If you already have a fence, make sure it’s clean and in good condition. Replace broken gates and tighten loose latches. Tip #8: Maintenance is a must Nothing looks worse from the curb—and sets off subconscious alarms—like hanging gutters, missing bricks from the front steps, or peeling paint. Not only can these deferred maintenance items damage your home, but they can decrease the value of your house by 10%. Here are some maintenance chores that will dramatically help the look of your house: refasten sagging gutters, repoint bricks that have lost their mortar, reseal cracked asphalt, straighten shutters, replace cracked windows.

History is celebrated on

Independence Day ■

COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com

History is celebrated bigger than any other day each July 4, better known as Independence Day. A unanimous decision made by the Second Continental Congress forever changed the meaning of freedom. Declaring independence from Great Britain in 1776 was the biggest step towards freedom the world had ever seen. A letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams discussed the first American celebrations on the following July 4, 1777 that said: “My dear Daughter Philadelphia, July 5th, 1777. Yesterday, being the anniversary of American Independence, was celebrated here with a festivity and ceremony becoming the occasion.” The trend gradually spread to surrounding

cities, leading to a national recognition of the holiday on June 28, 1870. The year of 1938 marked the federal recognition of the holiday, as well as recognition for federally employed workers to have a paid day off to participate in the festivities. As the number of celebration years grew, so did the list of traditions such as bigger fireworks, more picnics, trips, barbeques and, of course, parades. Oregon Pioneer child Nettie Spencer was recorded in a late 1930’s manuscript from the Federal Writers’ Project saying, “There would be floats in the morning … Following the float would be the Oregon Agricultural College cadets, and some kind of band. Sometimes there would be political effigies.” The town of Farragut’s annual Independence Day Parade makes its march down Kingston Pike with bands, cheerleaders,

organizations and local businesses. Kids border the streets with open hands ready to catch anything that could be thrown their way, a continued tradition that Nettie Spencer would appreciate. The colors red, white and blue still flood the town in the weeks leading up to and following the nation’s birthday. Flags, sparklers, decorations and even themed clothes seem to catch everyone’s attention. American flags blow in the wind outside countless houses, further showing pride in our country. Independence Day does not cease after the parades finish. The celebrations continue for days with golf, fishing, swimming, boating, more barbeques and additional activities. Check out the ways some surrounding businesses and towns keep the party spirit alive for the United States of America’s 237th birthday.

FOURTH OF JULY

Dos and don’ts of fireworks As the mercury rises, the parties and festivities that have come to signify summer excite revelers far and wide. Summer has become the season of pool parties, trips to the beach, barbecues and, of course, fireworks. Love it or hate it, warm weather seems to beckon neighbors out of hibernation and incites a desire to set things on fire. When cooking over an open flame doesn’t satisfy that desire, many take to shooting off bottle rockers and whistlers. But fireworks can still be dangerous, and not everyone is equipped or legally allowed to ignite fireworks. Therefore, to avoid potentially dangerous injuries, fines or arrests, it pays to follow these fireworks dos and don’ts. DO find out if fireworks are legal in your area. If you have to travel over state lines or into another country to purchase fireworks, there is a good chance you are not allowed to use fireworks in your community. There are many regulations regarding the sale, transport and use of fireworks, so be sure you’re not breaking any laws before buying any fireworks. DON’T buy fireworks from just anyone.

You want to ensure you are purchasing them from a reputable retailer of legal fireworks. DO check any safety guidelines and warnings on the wrapper of the fire works before lighting them. DON’T light fireworks near people, trees, homes or any combustible materials. DO keep a fire extinguisher or water hose nearby in the event of a fire. The National Fire Prevention Association notes that the Fourth of July features more reported fires than any other day of the year. DON’T forget that sparklers and fire crackers are no safer than other types of fireworks. The tip of a sparkler burns at a temperature of more than 1200 F, which is hot enough to cause thirddegree burns and is hotter than the temperature it takes to melt glass. DO leave fireworks to the professionals to avoid injury or fire.

DON’T light more than one firework at a time. DO wait 15 to 20 minutes after lighting a firework to see if it has ignited. If not, dump the firework in a bucket of water and move on to a fresh firework. DON’T let small children handle and light fireworks.

the audience. DO wear eye protection when lighting fireworks. DON’T shoot fireworks off of uneven ground. To ensure stability, always light them on a hard, flat and level surface. DO use common sense at all times when in the presence of fireworks.

DO make every attempt not to store fireworks. If you purchase them, use them all up. However, a cool, out-of-theway place may suffice for a day or so.

DON’T assume pets and children will enjoy the loud noises. Make accom modations for a quiet respite.

DON’T have any part of your body over the firework when lighting it. Try to use a lit stick or butane lighter to keep as far away as possible.

DO make sure spectators keep their distance. They should be 25 to 40 feet away from ground-based items and even further for aerial products.

DO say no to alcoholic beverages when lighting fireworks. Your perception and dexterity can be compromised by alcohol.

Fireworks can be beautiful to watch and often signify special moments and celebrations. Safety should always be on the minds of people spending time around fireworks. **Please note it is illegal in Knox County to own, or sell or set off fireworks without a special permit. Fireworks can be purchased in Loudon County.

DON’T shoot fireworks off in windy conditions. Otherwise, make sure the prevailing wind is blowing away from

David Hayes: business owner, patriot From his strong support of veterans to his Made in the USA merchandise, Hayes understands the unique nature of our Republic. David’s Abbey Carpet & Floors is one of many local businesses proud of the country where they live and make business decisions to show it. The store’s location in Patriot Corner is home to the 25-by-40-foot American flag that cannot be missed while driving down Kingston Pike. The flag is replaced twice per year to prevent a tethered look. “I couldn’t be sitting here in business if we didn’t have the freedom and the people to fight for that freedom,” said David Hayes, owner of David’s Abbey Carpet & Floors. “We are lucky to live in the US. It’s the best country in the world.” David’s Abbey Carpet & Floors has a wide selection of strictly American made merchandise. “In my business, half of our products are made in the

USA. We have one of the best groups of associates you could put together and the best selection of carpet, vinyl, wood, ceramic and area rugs,” Hayes said.” The store also is a strong supporter of HonorAir and gives their customers the chance to participate, as well. They offer each customer the opportunity to donate to the organization, and the store will match that donation. More than 60 years ago a remarkable generation of Americans joined forces to protect civilizations in the largest war in world history. No amount of gratitude could ever repay the debt for the gift of democracy these veterans gave the world. HonorAir Knoxville is dedicated to honoring East Tennessee World War II

and Korean War veterans and the sacrifices they made to ensure our freedoms. HonorAir flies the veterans to see the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. free of charge, a trip most would not be able to make without the HonorAir program. HonorAir is completely funded through donations. “These flights are very expensive. They cost about $60,000 each flight, they take about 125 veterans each flight and they do two flights per

year,” Hayes said. “Whether they are World War II or whether they are last week’s veterans, I couldn’t operate a business in a free country without people like that.” Hayes, a Farragut resident, has four children and nine grandchildren that choose to celebrate Independence Day together at his home each year and occasionally attend the annual town of Farragut parade. “They all come over here, and we enjoy it,” he added.
