Hale named Special Tennessee Supreme Court justice ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutpress.com
Tom Hale, attorney for town of Farragut, is one of four attorneys statewide chosen last month by Gov. Bill Haslam to become a “Special Supreme Court” justice. With four of Tennessee State Supreme Court’s five justices recusing themselves in the case of Hooker et al v. Lt. Governor
Ramsey et al, Hale will join attorneys from Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga, plus TSSC Justice Janice M. Holder to render rulings. The lawsuit is a challenge to how justices have been evaluated. Hale, a commercial, litigation, transactional and municipal attorney for Kramer Rayson LLP firm in downtown Knoxville, said
he and the other special justices were sworn in Friday, June 27. “I’ve been a little bit at a loss for words. I was Hale pretty surprised,” Hale said. “It was kind of
pleasing. … I was honored to be asked. And apparently they have a need.” However, “It’s going to be a challenge, I suspect, any time the [Tennessee State] Supreme Court recuses itself from hearing a matter,” said Hale, who added he’s never served as a judge beyond being “a hearing examiner for the City of Knoxville … early on in my career … a civil
service board that would hear employee complaints. “I’m looking forward to getting into it and learning what it’s about. “One of the parties [in the case] has moved for the Court of Appeals judges to recuse themselves,” he added. “I think some of them did and some of them See HALE on Page 4A

Hundreds of Farragut and surrounding area families took advantage of the weather and holiday excitement to attend the Fifth Annual Red, White & Blues Pre-Independence Day Picnic presented by TDS. An estimated crowd of 1,150 attended the event, co-hosted by Farragut Business Alliance, town of Farragut and Horne Properties Thursday, July 3, on the grounds adjacent to farragutpress office, 11863 Kingston Pike. Vendors offered plenty of food, wine and beer at various booths, while live entertainment was presented by Concord Brass Band and Roman Reese & the Cardinal Sins. Family-friendly activities, free of charge, included inflatables, a hamster ball, watermelon-eating contest, face and body painting, jet ski simulator, Hardin Valley Academy robotics demonstration
and a bounce house. Paid activities featured a rockclimbing wall and Euro-Bungy. “I live a block away, and we never got to come before,” Beau Sneed of Farragut said. “It’s a great hometown activity. We have so many things going on in Farragut. I wouldn’t have to go anywhere else.” “We haven’t been in a couple of years. ... It’s grown a lot,” Teresa Parker of Farragut said. “We’ve been [Farragut] residents for 23 years, and this is the first time we’ve come to this,” Terrye Danner said. “It’s a great sense of coming together of church and family. My dad was a veteran of World War II. “My great-grandson is having a wonderful time,” Tina Lawrence of West Knoxville said. “So far, it’s fabulous,” Frances Bogan of South Knoxville said. Danner, a member of Concord United Methodist Church, added she attended to hear Concord Brass Band perform.

Thousands lined up along Kingston Pike Friday, July 4, for the town of Farragut’s 27th Annual Independence Day Parade from Farragut High School to Ingles’ old parking lot. “We come every year,” Connie Rust of Farragut said. She and husband, Blake, brought their children to the event. “We never miss it,” Blake Rust said. “We just moved to Farragut this past week,” Teresa McNutt said. “We’ve not been to this. We just wanted to get involved in the community. Plus, we thought these guys would love it.” “We love parades,” Gar Green of Farragut said. “We’ve been to Farragut’s parades for several years, and we like to come, especially with the beautiful weather today, and you also have to support things going on in Farragut.” See PARADE on page 4A

Choto-Northshore roundabout contracted to finish Sept. 11
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
With a prominent ownerdeveloper of retail space labeling the Choto Road-Northshore Drive area “the fastest growing sector in Knox County,” a new roundabout and retail area will change the landscape. John Huber, owner/developer of Markets at Choto, said the 110-foot diameter roundabout at the intersection of ChotoNorthshore “really is the next step in improving the intersection. … It will be a huge improvement for the area and safety for the area.” Low bidder, The Rogers Group, ($599,715.88), is expected to break ground any day with a Sept. 11 completion deadline. To take advantage of such improvements, “We’ve got about 50,000 square feet” at the northeast corner of Choto and Northshore beside Weigel’s, Huber said. “We are moving forward with plans to try to bring at least one, maybe two buildings out of the ground in Markets at Choto in 2014,” he added. “… We’ll break ground in 2014. I’d say they’ll be ready in early 2015.”
As for maximum size, “We have eight separate buildings planned right now,” Huber said. “… All of our buildings are 5,000 square feet. We’ve intentionally kept them on a smaller scale. ... We’re really trying to blend into the neighborhoods out here.” Among those businesses and services interested, “Currently we’re negotiating with Rural/Metro to potentially build one of the Rural/Metro fire halls out here,” Huber said. “Hopefully, if it works out, we don’t have it all finalized. But it looks positive anyway.” Looking ahead, “I’m sure they’ll be a nail salon. We’ve had a lot of discussion with restaurants who want to locate out here,” Huber said. “We’re just waiting to find the right fit for that. …. We’ve even had some discussions with pharmacies and bistro-type grocers.” As for roundabout construction details, “Right now the utilities are all out of the way,” Cindy Pionke, director of planning and development for Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works, said. “We have asked the contractor for a work schedule. If they don’t make the [Sept. 11] deadline, it’ll be $810

Coyotes, breeding season alternative missing cat theories
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
How much of the missing cat problem in Farragut and Concord, which recently has had a bright media spotlight shone on it, is criminal? Frankie Byrne, Knox County Sheriff’s Office Animal Cruelty investigator, admits her cat, though “neutered and microchipped,” sometimes “jumps over the six-foot privacy fence” and off her property. Amy Johnston, Director of Outreach with Young-Williams Animal Center, 3201 Division St., off Sutherland Avenue, is a Farragut resident who warns not to leave you cats out at night because “of an influx of coyotes.” That warning is both professional and residential. “We hear them at night, we know they’re there,” she added. Coyotes, or cats simply taking off on their own — especially while in heat during summer breeding season — are alternative explanations from Byrne and Johnston for cats gone missing. “A very small percentage” of cats they come across have either a collar with identification or are microchipped, Johnston said. Byrne said, “A lot of people don’t notice for a couple of days that their cat hasn’t come home. ... When people start putting it together that no one has seen

the cat for a couple of days, it may be another day or two before they get down to the shelter.” However, Johnston said “June and July are two of our highest intake months” annually “because it’s kind of the tail end of the first breeding season.” This year, ironically, “It’s probably been a little bit less,” she added. Johnston said she had no information to track whether on not a higher percentage of Farragut or Concord-Northshore residents had missing cat inquiries at Young-Williams. She recommended an owner of a missing cat “come here at least every other day” to the center. “We actually keep them for four [days],” Johnston added.

“After the fourth day they legally become Young-Williams, and we test them [for behavior] for our adoption floor. If they go to the adoption floor they could be here for months unless they get sick or aggressive. We have had cats here three or four months waiting for a new home. “We do urge the public to microchip their pets. … and also have a collar with information. More importantly is to keep their information updated.” Young-Williams also recommends “spaying and neutering because if they’re in heat, or they sense a cat in heat, they’re more
likely to leave the property and roam,” Johnston said. Byrne said she’s taken “information from that Facebook page about the Northshore missing cats to try to create like a little map that’s going to show these locations where all these cats have gone missing. To try to narrow it down. … We’re also trying to do pool reports of calls where people have called the Sheriff’s Office in that particular area.” In addition, “Getting in touch with Tennessee Wildlife [Resources Agency] to see if that was a hot spot for coyote activity,” Byrne said. “I know down near
Hardin Valley we had big issues with coyotes.” However, “You do have the possibility that somebody is purposely doing something to the cats.” Citing the case of Nita Smothers’ family finding her dead cat in a plastic bag in the woods near their Sugarwood subdivision home, Byrne said, “We’re still looking at that angle to try and get more information.” Byrne said her department has been working with YoungWilliams “to find out, ‘has somebody been trapping cats in these areas and having them picked up and taken to the shelter?’”

letterstotheeditor Administrator targeted for sign enforcement
Silo Cigars has been harassed by the Farragut administration for several months and now “King” David Smoak has finally been successful in forcing the owner to state that he will be looking for a new location outside the town’s jurisdiction. In this case of selective sign ordinance enforcement, Silo Cigars has been cited and fined for parking a truck on private property. Without the town’s repeated harassing of this business, I would not have even noticed the truck and I had to search to see where the truck was parked. However, not being cited are other business vehicles that may
be as “offensive” as the Silo Cigars’ truck. The U-Haul trucks for sale are displayed for months on end, and I often see the Fish Window Washing truck and the Pittsburg Paint truck parked for several hours during the day. It seems to me that Mr. Smoak has a personal vendetta against Silo Cigars and is doing everything to get revenge. Also, I see that there is going to be a car wash replacing the old Chevron gas station on Kingston Pike. This use of the property is commendable, but the open concept of having vacuums and drying area facing the road will be ugly. I do hope that the beautification committee requires that this area be placed
in the side or the back of the property away from the road. There will need to be a “holding” area for cars entering the business. Many times the car wash on Lovell Road has cars lined up back to the main entrance. Thank you. Thomas Adams A challenges to Redflex story quotes
I just finished reading the article on the Redflex traffic camera contract and its potential renewal or expiration. According to Town Traffic Enforcement manager Ben Harkins, the contract has been “real close to cost neutral.”
What does this mean? Does the program make money, if so, how much? If it’s costing the town money, again how much? One cost I bet Mr. Harkins hasn’t considered is the loss of revenue for local businesses from the many people like myself who avoid doing business in Farragut due to the omnipresent traffic cameras. Among the many other vague claims Mr. Harkins makes is that the program is “focused on getting people to stop at red lights” versus making money, and then “it’s amazing the number of people I talk to who tell me that they have changed their habits as they approach traffic lights.” Well then, those two state-
presstalk
ments tell me the program HAS been successful, the people HAVE been educated, and therefore should be allowed to expire since it has done its job. I urge the mayor and aldermen to let the Redflex contract expire and do not renew this program. If this program is allowed to be renewed, it’s only a matter of time before there will be cameras on EVERY corner and on EVERY road. There are enough vacant buildings in Farragut as it is, but if Ben Harkins’ office should become vacant, I admit I won’t be sorry. Edward Strollo

• To everyone who thinks marijuana should be legal in Tennessee and the rest of the United States. Well, you need to think again. New statistics are now out that ever since Colorado has legalized marijuana (and remember it’s legal for everybody not just for people with glaucoma or on chemotherapy, those two I do not have a problem with). Since it has been legalized in Colorado, DUI arrests [inaudible] marijuana, not other drugs, not alcohol, have doubled. So we now have more impaired drivers on the road in the state of Colorado. They are also picking up in the states around Colorado more and more people for drug possession because they buy it in Colorado
and take it across state lines. I don’t know what elected official in Colorado thought this was a good idea but obviously they need their heads examined. They need booted out of office. • OK, let me see if I’ve got this straight, you are more than willing to run out so called undesirable businesses out of town. But yet we are worried about our image and we have a bar and a liquor store [with]in a stone’s throw from out children. Not [to] mention, now we are talking about putting up a cell phone tower that has been known in some states to cause cancer. What kind of sense does any of that make? • There is a certain irony to the
article about fireworks being illegal on page 1 and then on page 3 a full-length advertisement for a fireworks establishment. • I got a kick out of the call to last week’s presstalk where someone was blaming the town of Farragut’s ordinances for all the empty commercial space. This person obviously has never connected the dots to understand how big an impact Turkey Creek has had on our Town’s business community — far greater than anything caused by any of the Town’s ordinances. However, it was nice to know in the same issue of the farragutpress there was news of a local wine and liquor store expanding as well as a new French-themed market
coming to Farragut. Good news indeed for our Town. • Concerning the cell phone tower at Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road, hey, I am glad to see one coming. I’m waiting for the improved coverage. I can’t believe how people will squawk about how they want more coverage, better coverage, but then run around cackling like a bunch of hens when they hear there is going to be a tower in their neighborhood. I suppose they think the cell phone fairy comes and puts up magical and invisible cell towers that they never have to look at. • I too have been scammed by the young woman who sits in the public restaurant, talks loudly on
her cell phone and starts to cry because she has no money for formula. Unfortunately, there are millions of people in the world who take advantage of nice people like me and my friend. We gave her $40 each thinking we were doing a good deed only to see her getting into a car with her baby and, of course, a male driver. So, unfortunately, we no longer go to that side of town — Lovell Road to be exact — because I don’t want to see her again. I felt so disgusted and betrayed and, of course, using a precious baby to steal money from people. Yeah, you can say I am a sucker. I guess I am. I also feel that people like that surely will get caught for misrepresenting themselves.

won’t be greatly affected by his special justice service. A two-time “Lawyer of the Year” honoree in Knoxville, Hale, 59, has practiced at Kramer Rayson all 34 years he’s been an attorney. Earning Knoxville Bar Association's Governor's Award in 2012, Hale also was named Top Attorney for Corporate Law by City View magazine from 2009 to 2013. A former president of Knoxville Bar Association, Hale has served as Town attorney since the late 1990s.

said. The Town had 95 parade entries this year, Chelsey Riemann, Farragut public relations coordinator, said. “It was very full this year,” Riemann said. “It was a good parade.” The event included Farragut High School Marching Admirals Band, political candidates, businesses, community and veterans’ groups and even Mayberry’s Barney Fife [Sammy Sawyer]. Grand Marshal was Mark Packer, WVLT-TV 8 news anchor. For Xrisanthe Christopoulos of Farragut, the event has been a
family tradition for 20 years. Christopoulos said her daughter, Xrista, was born July 4, and she has been coming every year. Some of the crowd came to cheer on parade participants. For example, Ines Gibson’s daughter, Audrey Gibson, 16, is a member of FHS Marching Admirals. “But I would have come anyway,” Ines Gibson said. Fred Willard of Ravenswood, W.Va., came to watch his granddaughter, Arianna Willard, 3, and her mother, Kathy Willard, who marched with Eun’s Martial Arts Center class.

didn’t. So they don’t have a panel of three Court of Appeals judges to hear even the initial appeal from the trial court,” Hale said. “So we have to rule on the appeal of those recusal motions. “We do that before getting into the merits of what the underlying case is about,” he added. As for time, “I don’t think it’s going to be a hugely time-consuming thing. Right now, at least,” Hale said, adding his duties and caseload with Kramer Rayson and town of Farragut
From page 1A
“Oh, we have come every year,” Andrea Channell of Farragut said. Her son, Caden, 8, marched in the parade. “I wouldn’t miss this,” Carolyn McClain of Knoxville said. “It’s really a good parade. It’s packed on both sides of the street. “I have been coming [to the parade] a few years, sitting at the same spot,” she added. “This year I came with my daughter, and decided to make a day of it.” “I just wanted to see a pretty parade,” Bill Allen of Loudon

Charles “Chuck” Such in front of Pro Football Hall of Fame, Canton, Ohio, in 2000.
Local angle on Canton Column in 1959 by Chuck Such, father of Farragut businessman, led way to bring Pro Football Hall of Fame to Canton, Ohio
■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
The following story is written from a personal perspective: Chuck Such is the grandfather of Courtney Such, who shares the following: “He spent so much of his time making sure people knew the history of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and it is the least I can do, as his granddaughter, to continue to share his greatest story.” Charles “Chuck” Such Jr. knew sports. More specifically, Chuck Such knew football. The man knew every rule, regulation, scheme, player and coach name, player history — and how to write about it. He also knew 51 years ago that Canton, Ohio would go in the NFL history books before anyone else did. “Pro Football Hall of Fame Needs Home and Logical Site is Here” headlined Such’s column that started it all in The Canton Repository Dec. 6, 1959. Four years, more than $300,000 of fundraised money, 14 acres and 19,000 square feet later, the Pro Football Hall of Fame became a reality, all thanks to a passionate sportswriter’s suggestion. Plenty of other cities were in the race to make their town home to the Hall, but Such’s suggestion and the community support in response to his column made its construction in any other city unfavorable.
Progress happened quickly — Such’s piece was printed in the Sunday paper, and one of Ohio’s most prominent businessmen, H.H. Timken from the Timken Rollar Bearing Company, called Monday morning. “‘I want Chuck to have every resource he needs to make this a success,’” Timken said, according to Such. “He started so small, and who would have ever dreamed it would be so big and prominent in history,” Barbara Such, Such’s wife, said. The success of bringing the Hall of Fame to Canton would not have been possible without Such’s connections — Timken, Paul Brown, Hall of Fame coach and owner of the Cleveland Browns; Art Modell, former Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens owner and Pete Rozelle, former NFL commissioner, just to name a few. These people helped bring monetary backing and celebrity attention to the project, as well as getting the entire city of Canton on board. “It came out with a perfect ending, but you know everyday it was something new, and he enjoyed every moment. He put it all to the best knowledge he could and everything came out right,” Barbara said. The construction of the building is not the only site the Pro Football Hall of Fame brought to Canton, and the whole package still seems surreal to Barbara.

“The community dinner, the Hall of Fame, the enshrinement, the game … the game was huge … it was just a matter of a few phone calls and they had their first game. It happened so quickly and in today’s world it probably could never be that way, but it was,” she said. Every now and then a new story will come out that the town of Farragut has some sort of connection into the world of professional sports — a FHS grad makes his way to an NFL or Major Leagues field or lands a college coaching job. The Such connection in Farragut consists of the youngest of Chuck and Barbara’s four children, Mike Such, a Farragut businessman who has lived in Town the past 20 years along with his wife, Tracy, and daughters. But this story is far from new. Such is still being acknowledged for the success he brought to Canton. Reporters wrote updates on him, and he wrote pieces to remind people of the history and the bright future the Hall of Fame has in the world of football, most recently one that ran Dec. 6, 2013 for the Repository in honor of the Hall’s 50th anniversary. Such passed away in February, but the interest people still take about his influence on creating a Pro Football Hall of Fame has not ceased. His story hangs on the wall of the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the first thing you see when you walk through the doors, which was one of his biggest joys.

Matt “Hammer” Ramsey’s beginning path in profession baseball, according to his Montgomery Biscuits pitching coach, “Would be bumpy and long” thanks to bouts of wildness and coming off Tommy John Surgery on his right elbow in 2011. “But the stuff you see is outstanding,” R.C. Lichtenstein, pitching coach of this Southern League Class AA rival to the Knoxville Smokies, added about Ramsey, a former Farragut Admirals hardthrowing star pitcher (Class of 2008). “You know, he’s got a big arm. He’s one of the few guys you can see this year who can basically tell you the fastball is coming and they still can’t hit it.” Ramsey’s earned run average as a relief pitcher, and recent closer, with the Biscuits through July 6 was an impressive 1.07 in 33.2 innings (24 games) with 46 strikeouts and 23 walks. A catcher, outfielder and bullpen closer at The University of Tennessee, Ramsey was drafted in the 19th round by Photo submitted the Tampa Matt “Hammer” Ramsey, former FHS Admirals Bay Rays in star (Class of 2008), is now Montgomery Biscuits’ 2011. “I have closer in the Southern League (Class AA). been a starter from a young age and got my first taste of relieving my senior year of high school,” Ramsey said. “I was a reliever in college as well and I really enjoyed the feeling of being in the game in high pressure, high intensity situations.” As for Minor League Baseball versus the Southeastern Conference, “The biggest adjustment has been the constant travel with long bus rides and quick turnarounds with having a game every day,” Ramsey said. “Also, you are more on your own with everything so it’s a lot more independent.” To have any realistic thoughts of someday pitching for the Rays, “He’s got to get more consistent with his breaking ball and his change-up, but it’s about getting reps,” Lichtenstein said. “Would I like to see him command the ball a little better, absolutely. But the reality is until you’ve got a hundred, 200 innings under your belt in pro ball, fine-tuning the delivery is the last thing to come,” Lichtenstein added. “I think he’s got a pretty good feel for what he wants to do. But the reps will help him become more consistent with that and more sure that that’s what he needs to do.” Ramsey said, “I have had success with my fastball and curveball, but also I am still developing an effective change up and slider as an out pitch.” After “a pretty nice year last year” in the Gulf Coast League, Ramsey “started out with a couple of good outings this year” for Montgomery before “going down for three weeks,” Lichtenstein said. Aaron Vargas, Voice of the Biscuits and a media relations official, said in an e-mailed response that Ramsey suffered “a side injury.”

Stanley’s in 7th decade of greenhouse, plant service ■ TAMMY CHEEK
tcheek@farragutpress.com
Stanley’s Greenhouses and Plant Farm, 3029 Davenport Road, Knoxville, has been serving the Knoxville area for more than 60 years, providing quality vegetables, plants, trees and shrubs. But its history dates before the Civil War as a family farm. Situated three minutes from downtown Knoxville, the business is owned by Charles Stanley, now retired; his wife, Mary Kathryn Stanley, and their sons, Monte and Rocky Stanley. Stanley’s Greenhouses, originally part of a 250-acre farm, continues to be surrounded by woodland. It offers 75,000 plants. Additionally, customers can find garden art from local artists. “I love it,” Monte Stanley, who grew up in the business, said. “I love plants.” “I like to be a part of beautification and restoring some of the native plants whenever possible,” he added. In the 1950s, Charles Stanley Sr., 94, started the greenhouse business out of the Davenport farm, belonging to his mother’s family, Stanley’s daughter-in-law, Lisa Stanley, said. She is married
to Rocky Stanley. “Charles Stanley’s mother was a Davenport and married a Stanley,” Lisa Stanley said. “The farmhouse was deeded by Gov. William Blount. [The Davenports] raised cattle and vegetables.” “Gov. Blount deeded the land to grandpa’s father for serving in the Civil War,” Charles Stanley said. The Davenports raised cattle, but his grandfather wanted a truck farm to raise vegetables. Eventually, the farm was broken down to 36 acres. In the 1950s, the farm evolved into a greenhouse business. “Charles Stanley was working at Fulton’s in the 1940s and 1950s and realized the family farm wasn’t doing very well raising vegetables to go to Market Square back then,” she said. “Rocky and Monte’s mother would work there during the day, and he would come in from the Fulton’s job at night and seed and do his night work. Monte said he never saw his dad.” Charles started selling flowers and plants other than vegetables so the farm could survive. “His dream was for his two sons, Monte and Rocky, to be able

to have this [farm] as a full-time job and not have to work an extra job,” Lisa Stanley said. The business started with one little greenhouse on the hill. “As we paid off one building, we started building more [green]houses,” she said. About 16 years ago, the Stanleys built the current retail outlet building and greenhouse,
featuring four acres of heated greenhouses and three acres of outdoor growing area, Lisa said. Monte said he joined the business in 1969 when he got out of the military. Rocky joined the business after graduating high school in the 1970s. While Monte runs the retail part of the business, his brother oversees the
growing and greenhouses. “Now we have kids involved, which is wonderful,” Lisa Stanley said. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday. The business is closed on Sunday in July and August. For more information, phone 865-573-9591 or go to stanleysgreenhouses.com
Farinellas’ love of gardening, daylilies led to ‘Champion’ business ■ COURTNEY SUCH
csuch@farragutpress.com
The year 2012 led John and Donna Farinella into a new adventure: the couple purchased Champion Daylilies, 341 McFee Road, a garden named after the unique varieties of daylilies they offer. The Farinellas have made a life in Farragut for the past 20 years, John working as chief operating officer of EdFinancial Services and Donna raising their four sons, Ryan, 27, A.J., 24, Ethan, 22, and Antonio, 14. John’s love for gardening is what inspired the couple to purchase the business. The family had just moved into a new home, wanted some flowers for landscaping purposes and found out that Champion Daylilies was for sale. “We were building a house and needed some landscaping, and I just fell in love with everything back there,” John Farinella said. “He [John] came over here and started looking and fell in love with all of the daylilies back here and heard it was going to be

for sale, so he decided he was going to purchase it in 2012,” Donna said. Champion Daylilies offers a wide variety of flowers, trees, tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, and, of course, daylilies. The
garden is located in the backyard of the previous owner’s home, but Donna stresses that it is a place of business where all are welcome to visit. “I think people sometimes feel like they are intruding, not realizing there is a business behind these houses. It

This September will begin the couple’s third year of owning Champion Daylilies, a business that has grown multiple new additions since the Farinella family purchase. The online community is growing in popularity worldwide and includes online products, gardening tips, a blog and social media presence, where they have about 2,000 followers. “I have sent packages to Washington, New York … I even sent some seeds this past summer to the Ukraine and Russia,” Logan Wells, chief operating officer, said. Wells also is excited about other new additions to the business, including their involvement in a farm-to-table initiative and landscaping projects. Champion Daylilies is open from noon until 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Lorena, with students, turns 106 ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
It’s been 60 years since Lorena Harvey taught Sarah Williams in the second grade at Farragut Primary School. Sarah Williams Stewart, a 1964 Farragut High School Class graduate who said she was inspired by Lorena to become a teacher, joined her little sister, Gail Williams Welch, for a special ceremony Thursday, July 3. They were two of a handful of former students and long-time friends plus staff and residents at Summit View of Farragut nursing home in Farragut to celebrate Lorena’s 106th birthday, which actually was July 5. When she was a first-grade student at Hardin Valley Elementary School, Stewart recalled Lorena, who never married or had children, as a second grade teacher at HVES. Lorena, who never drove a vehicle, regularly hitched a ride with Sarah and her father, HVES principal Walton Williams. “Daddy would have principals’ meetings in Knoxville and me and
Miss Harvey would always sit in the truck together. And we would laugh and talk. She would tell me stories. … We spent many hours in the pick-up truck,” Stewart said. “We were all in the same community, in Boyd community [off Choto Road near Northshore Drive]. Our families knew each other for years. I’ve known her all my life, actually. “Because Miss Harvey was going to be teaching at Farragut the next year [in the second grade], daddy let me go to Farragut.” About having Lorena as her teacher, “I was so anxious, I adored her,” Stewart said. “She never lost her temper. She was so well groomed. … She was just so beautiful and just so sweet.” Welch, a 1968 FHS graduate who Lorena taught in first grade at FPS, said about starting school as a 5-year old, “I did not want to leave my mama.” However, “When Sarah would bring me to Miss Harvey’s room, I would attach myself to her. Miss Harvey would say, ‘Let Sarah go on to her room, we’re going to have a See LORENA 106 on Page 10A

Farragut homeowners can learn more about how to conserve water by using rain barrels during an upcoming workshop hosted by the town of Farragut. The Town is hosting the "MakeIt, Take-It" Rain Barrel Workshop from 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, July 12, in Farragut Town Hall, in partnership with the Water Quality Forum. The forum is a consortium of different agencies partnering together for water quality events and programs, Jason Scott, Farragut Stormwater coordinator, said. Among those other projects are the Water Festival and River Rescue, a river and stream clean-up effort. “I’m hoping participants will learn about water quality, how it impacts our community and how rain barrels are a great tool to reduce run-off and to conserve water,” he said. “Part of the reason we are able to afford [the program] is because there is an educational aspect to it. “We originally started doing [the workshops] as part of a larger event, an artistic rain barrel competition,” Scott added. “That
competition ended a few years ago, but we continue doing the workshop and rain barrel sales because there’s still a lot of interest in getting affordable rain barrels.” The Town has been involved in the rain barrel workshop for more than five years, Scott said. Farragut hosted the event a couple years ago, Scott added, although the event usually takes place in various areas. “It kind of rotates.” Scott said the workshop will educate participants on philosophical and practical applications of rain barrels as a low-cost water quality and water conservation tool. The rain barrels are ideal for capturing roof runoff and watering small-planted areas, Scott added. An overview of general water quality concerns in the town of Farragut and Knox County area also will be briefly discussed, he said. Every participant will receive a 55-gallon rain barrel reconfigured from a former food-grade storage container, with all hardware and accessories necessary See TOWN on Page 13A

Longstocking.” He became interested when he saw his sister, Jennifer, performing. “I thought it looked like it would be fun and would be good for me. It was,” he said. Lucas has performed in five plays since. This is Allen’s 14th original full-length play for KCT. He said he wrote the play thinking it would appeal to different ages of young people. “I’ve combined the stories of “Thumbelina” and Homer’s “Odyssey,” a fairy tale and an adventure story,” Allen said. He characterized the story as a “clever comedy,” featuring not only “Thumbelina” but also other fairy tales. The show is a full-scale production, lasting an hour-and-a-half – including intermission. It features 12 actors whose ages range from 7 to 17. Isabelle Hannah, 17, of South Knoxville plays Thumbelina. Other cast members include
Audrey Jones of West Knoxville as Red Riding Hood, Kena Holmes as Goldilocks, Hannah CrowderStarnes, Megan Henley, Sophia Medley, Ani Werderitch and Olivia Wilson. Ticket prices are $12, but there is a special rate in which any adult and child entering together would pay $10 each. The company has produced 21 premiers since 2008, and more than 4,800 have attended a KCT play this year. Allen has been with KCT for six years; before that he was with Clarence Brown Theater. Reservations can be made by calling 865-208-3677 or online at knoxvillechildrenstheatre.com. For more information, call 865208-3677 or go to knoxvillechildrenstheater.com or info@childrenstheaterknoxville.com/ Lucas is the son of Julie Cunic and Craig Cunic.

Meghan Surgenor, Summit View activities director, said Lorena “loves getting manicures and she loves going outside for fresh air. She just loves being with people, little parties and get-togethers. “She can still walk, with assistance.” Surgenor said Lorena is the oldest person to ever be under the
care of Summit View. Also a first-grade student of Miss Harvey who grew up in Farragut schools, Rebecca Duncan Shanks (FHS Class of 1971) said she “had never had the privilege” of attending one of her former teacher’s Summit View celebrations. As a teacher, “She was as sweet as she could be. A little stern when she needed to be,” Shanks said. “But always a sweet smile on her face.”

Orvis Milner, former United States Navy officer, U.S. Naval Academy football player and Tennessee Volunteers quarterback, was honored for what could be the last time Wednesday, June 18, at a pinning ceremony put on by Clarity Pointe Knoxville Memory Care Assisted Living and Avalon Hospice. Families, friends, spouses and caregivers gathered at the ceremony that took place in Clarity Pointe’s courtyard and included guests from the local Navy Color
Guard. Milner, 90, was honored with a pin and certificate for his service. “Our gentleman Orvis is one of our phenomenal residents who served in the Navy for World War II, and he has recently been put on hospice so we coordinated something for him,” Helen Porter, Clarity Pointe life enrichment coordinator, said. Milner was one of seven veterans recognized at the ceremony. Other veterans and Clarity Pointe residents awarded with a pin and certificate were Bill Green, James Knabe, Vernon
For many Knox area foster children who rarely, if ever, receive an expression of love, simply providing them with a suitcase or backpack of goods tells them somebody cares. Allen McMichael of Farragut is co-founder and president of Fostering HopeTN, a Christianbased non-profit hatched at a family outing in July 2013 to provide foster children, among other services, with much needed suitcases — instead of trash bags — and backpacks filled with basic supplies. How much has it meant to foster children and teenagers? “We had a girl who was going off to college, and when I gave her a suitcase she just cried because she thought she was going to have to go with trash bags,” said Elizabeth “Chante” Hensley, McMichael’s granddaughter and a licensure and recruitment administrator for
Camelot Care Centers, Inc., a foster care agency in Oak Ridge.. While each suitcase and backpack comes with a caring letter written to each foster child, one boy “read it and said, ‘I didn’t know anyone out there in the world cared about me without knowing about me.’ He was 15 and that really touched him,” Hensley added. Hensley, who has adopted two foster children in addition to three other foster children under her care at home, estimates “about 50” foster children are in Farragut. “I had been seeing just a lot of kids come with trash bags, and it was always something on my mind,” she added. In addition to suitcases, “We started talking about a permanent thing, to supply backpacks, and we’ll fill them with a few school supplies. Mostly it’s personal care items … dictionaries, a Bible,” McMichael said. While starting fundraising efforts last summer, “We did a
hundred backpacks for her agency last December. … They have their own nametag on it,” McMichael said. “They had a Christmas party and gave out a hundred backpacks to kids. We stuffed toys in them, stuffed dolls; plush animals for smaller kids. … The kids really loved it,” he added. “Then we had a Farm Day down at RiverView Family Farm,” McMichael said about the Concord farm near Farragut where foster children were entertained with a hayride, singing and other entertainment plus food. “They donated their whole farm to us. … We had about 75 or 80 kids there. We gave out more backpacks.” “We try to find some kind of project to do every three or four months.” McMichael’s son, former Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Greg McMichael, is spearheading a golf fundraiser at Landmark Golf See FOSTER on Page 16A

noon every Saturday from the first weekend of May through the first weekend of November. Jeff and Virginia Cannon started the farmers market in 2008 when they noticed a lack of local product availability. “It has definitely grown. The very first market, we had four vendors, and we have built up over the years and are always looking for new vendors to join the market family,” Jeff Cannon said. Kelly Kaiser, a craft vendor, enjoys this farmers market because of the community the Cannons have built. “I love it here. It is a really
good sense of community among the vendors. We all support each other, and the Cannons, who run it, are just wonderful folks,” Kaiser said. Colvin Family Farms is in its fourth season of selling their locally grown produce at the Dixie Lee Farmers Market. They return for the same reason as Kaiser. “It’s got a great steady clientele. … I’ve got a lot of friends who come here steadily, clientele who has stuck with us for years and that’s a really nice part of it,” Caleb Colvin said. The vendors are not the only long-time regulars, though. Women, men, fathers, mothers, children and grandparents gather in the parking lot to shop and relax.
“We have been coming since this farmers market began,” Whitney Bryan, a Farragut resident, said. “I like to support local farmers, and it is a great event in the community to get together and see people and see what our local farmers have to offer, as well as the crafts,” she added. The community the market has created serves as an added bonus to the Cannons’ original goals from 2008. “It was kind of a hair-brained idea I had originally to actually start a farmers market that I had at the right time. And next thing I know, it was happening,” Jeff Cannon added. Jeff Cannon said he plans on expanding the reach of the market to young, local entrepre-
neurs. Although the planning is in its “infancy stages,” he hopes to implement it before the 2014 season ends. “We are looking to add a children’s zone that supports a young entrepreneurship … it’s basically under adult supervision to encourage children to learn the ins and outs of creating a product and then marketing it,” Jeff Cannon said. Dixie Lee Farmer’s Market is always looking to add more vendors and bring in more shoppers. For more information and updates on the much anticipated children’s zone, visit either www.dixieleefarmersmarket.com or www.facebook.com/dixieleefarmersmarket/

is a descendant of legendary pioneer Daniel Boone. Their first television appearance was in 2007 when they both participated in “All in the Genes,” a reality television series. The two met while filming the show and eventually formed a band with one other member, Tayla Lynn, known as Stealing Angels. Their debut single “He Better Be Dead” made it to the United States Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart in 2010. Although the group disbanded, the members remain friends. Wayne and Cutbirth tried out and competed in two seasons of “The Amazing Race,” where they placed in the top four both times. Their participation in the 22nd season took them to fourth place. They were invited back to participate in the second season of the celebrity version and placed second. The show allowed them to
travel the world two times, jump out of airplanes and visit places such as Bora Bora and Switzerland — exotic destinations for women with Southern roots. This was not their first time in Knox County, though, as their band tour brought them to Cotton Eyed Joe a few years ago. “Next we are going to northern Cal and then to Denver,” Cutbirth said. Burchett said he is no stranger to being in the presence of “The Amazing Race” contestants. “I currently do not own a television, so I have had to follow them [Wayne and Cutbirth] on the Internet,” Burchett said. “But a former intern of mine was on it [The Amazing Race] and was earlier disqualified, so I’m just kind of a spectator from a distance,” he added. Wayne and Cutbirth reside in Nashville but are traveling around the country for various appearances.

After playing for the Navy football team, Milner went on to play quarterback at UT under head coach Gen. Robert Neyland, a College Football Hall of Famer, in 1946 and 1947. The Navy officer then went to serve in the Korean War on the day his daughter, Becky, was born. “The Navy did a lot for him taught him a lot of leadership … he got to play football for them, was in officers training, and he really just thinks very fondly of his days there,” Becky Fuller

said. “He has very fond memories of the General we grew up knowing about both the Navy and the General.” Milner went on to open Knoxville Beverage Company in 1961 with a partner, but later became the sole owner in 1981. Milner’s son, Michael Milner, still manages the daily operation
of the company. “Orvis has led quite the amazing life and has had a lot of really neat accomplishments, so we just thought it would be something really nice for him and his family as they are kind of going through this last process, but also a good time to honor all of our veteran residents,” Porter said.

Top 10 tips for flying with kids American Way (American Airline’s inflight magazine) featured the House Fairy last month! (House Fairy is my get organized program for kids.) The House Fairy is flying high on publicity and it prompted me to write this for you m a m a s who fly. With vacation time Pam here, and if Young flying is in Make it your plans AND you’re Fun! taking the kids with you, here are what made my top ten list for happy flying. . . short of drugs. 1. Be Prepared Designate a carry-on as the entertainment bag. Keep what’s in it a secret, bringing out surprises as the trip goes. Busy kids are happy kids. Bored ones have the ability to terrorize everyone on a flight, including you. • books • notebooks • pens • crayons • coloring books • Ipad with favorite movie • Kindle 2. Get Gum Children have very small ear canals and when the cabin is pressurized tiny ears can hurt. Chewing sugarless gum can help and once the jet is air bound it isn’t needed. 3. Let it Suck Nurse during take-off, or have a
binky ready. I don’t think I’ve ever taken off without hearing an infant screaming because his little ears hurt. Sucking helps. 4. Turn Bedtime into Fly-time Matching PJs don’t just have to be at Christmastime. Deck your whole family out in new jammies for the flight. You’ll crack up the flight attendants as well as fellow passengers. Tell your kids you get to have a pajama party on the plane. You may have a hard time sleeping on a flight, but I’ve never met a kid on a red-eye that wasn’t asleep and I’d love to see a fun-loving family dressed for bed on a redeye. 5. No Sugar When the flight attendant comes by with the free sodas and juice, just say “NO, water or milk please.” Bring treats high in protein and fat. Nuts and cheese, veggies and mayo. Hungry children and those high on sugar will get fussy and disruptive. 6. Make Sure Price is Right Check the ticket prices for infants as you may be charged more for your baby than yourself. Some airlines charge up to 75% for a ticket without a seat. In this case you don't save money! Buy a normal ticket. At least you’ll get extra space and that’s really valuable. 7. Go Potty Before Take-off Even the ones who pipe up and say, “I don’t have to,” make sure everybody goes before take-off. Cut back on fluids before the flight, the same as you do before bedtime or they’ll be up and down the aisle. Torture for the guy who sits in the aisle seat and your kid’s are in the window seat. This is sensible advice for adults too. Drinking five pints of beer before getting on the plane is dangerous, especially if
you’re held up during taxiing. Of course, there’s always Depends. 8. The Air Police are Watching One of my friends who had to fly with her rather hyper three-year-old told me this worked wonders. “I warned Rachel to behave or the Air Police would have to come. I pointed out the TSA uniformed agents and told her they also look out for badly behaved children. I’m not suggesting I scared her out of her wits and I didn’t tell her what’d happen if they caught her being a brat; I just used the suggestion as a way to teach her respect for those in uniform and it definitely gave me a psychological edge.” 9. Peek-a-Boo Babies love to be held up over your head. On a flight, they get to see all the passengers and many will be trying to get baby’s attention. It’s a great way to calm a baby and it’s good for your upper arm muscles. 10. Practice Enlightened Selfishness Follow one of the airline’s cardinal rules: in case the cabin loses pressure, put your oxygen mask on first and then assist your child. Take care of yourself first and everything will take care of itself. If you feel good and are rested, you’ll be far more able to cope with the inevitable tests thrown at you by your busy little ones. So, eat right, get your sleep and give yourself plenty of time to get to the airport early. Safe travels! Have a wonderful time with your kids wherever you’re going.

A specific Fostering HopeTN challenge is raising funds for roughly 400 backpacks: an estimated 400 foster children will gather at Museum of Appalachia for a Foster and Adoption Celebration for Children and Families Saturday, Aug. 23. “We don’t have the money [now], but we’ll do it by faith,” McMichael said. “That would require about $12,000.” To donate, or for more information on the fundraisers, call 865414-6892 or 865-466-7513 or email info@fosteringhopetn.org
“We’re also trying to educate people on how the system works,” McMichael said. “How kids are handled, what happens to them.” In the Knoxville metropolitan area, “There are over 900 foster kids,” McMichael added. McMichael said he’s received donations and overall support from Farragut area churches including First Baptist Concord and Two Rivers church plus “a Farragut High School club that donated school supplies.” Starting a church Sunday School “suitcase drive so kids didn’t have to use trash bags” before Fostering HopeTN was hatched, Hensley added, “We were really using a lot of them.” McMichael said Fostering HopeTN extends a Christian message to foster children, something Camelot Care does not do according to Hensley.
