Soggy weather greets Red, White & Blues ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
The fourth annual Red, White and Blues Festival drew an estimated several hundred participants despite rainy weather Wednesday night, July 3. Rainy weather also prompted Farragut Business Alliance event organizers to waive admission fees in an effort to draw a larger attendance. Food, activities, live music by the Ben Whisler Band and beverages made for a night of celebration on the field located adjacent to farragutpress. Past festivals have seen at least 900 attendees, but the exact number this year will be left to speculation since attendance is determined by ticket sales. “We were praying that the weather would hold out, which it has not, but it seems to have broken and … we decided to waive the admission fee completely … We want a good turnout, we want to make sure they get good bang for their buck,” FBA executive director Allison Sousa said before the event began. Eight vendors made their way out to the festival, providing food and games for the guests. Ingles brought along 55 watermelons, cutting them all night long for everyone to snack. “We were driving by and decided to come,” Cydne Williams, who took notice of the 22 American flag-topped tents she spotted from Kingston Pike, said. The Ben Whisler Band came
from Seymour to entertain and brought several friends and family members with them, inspiring people to hit the dance floor and sing along to their cover songs. “We hate that it’s raining, but I’m excited it’s still going on,” Jeri Whisler said. “It is such a good event for the community and residents. It gives us a place to go celebrate together,” Tim Williams, Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce chairman and Matlock Tire manager, said. Farragut resident Shannon Taylor did not let the rain stop her from bringing her family, just as they had the three previous festivals. “It’s tradition for us. The kids love it, I like the music,” she said. “My favorite part is the cake,” Taylor’s son, 5-year-old Owen, added. The Hix family enjoyed their experiences so much in past years that they brought some friends along with them. “I like going to anything with festival in the name,” 8-year-old Lorelei Hix said. Other entertainment included performances from the Farragut Intermediate School talent show, including Kelsee Hartman, Lydia Croley and Ella Kate Paterbaugh who danced on stage. “I enjoy the whole scene … it’s fun to watch the children, especially before the Fourth,” Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill said while enjoying the festival with his wife, Marrianne.
Povlin named to planning commission ■ ROBBY O’DANIEL
rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Louise Povlin is the newest member of the Town Municipal Planning Commission. “[Mayor R a l p h McGill] pulled me aside and asked if I was interested,” Povlin said. “... I was hesitant at Povlin f i r s t because I really don’t know. I have a lot of training to do, but he did say he appreciated my passion for Farragut and that I cared and the rest of it could be learned, so that’s where we are today.” McGill said Povlin was active and going to meetings. “She struck me as somebody
who was very interested in the Town and how the Town works, how the Town is going to develop,” McGill said. “It seemed like a natural, and I asked her if she would consider it, and she did, and she said yes. ... For sure, she brings enthusiasm and willingness to think outside the box, I think, which is what we need. ... I’ve tried to pick, appoint people who represent a cross section of the community.” Povlin takes the seat of outgoing Commissioner Melissa Mustard, who resigned from the Commission. The May 16 meeting serving as her last. “I’ve got three kids and busy, busy, busy,” Mustard said after the May 16 meeting. “I’ve loved getting to know everybody, and it’s been such a learning experience. I know we’re living in the right place. All these people care and put their time into this, See FMPC on Page 3A

Wet weather breaks for Town Independence Day Parade ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Rain or shine, Farragut’s 26th Annual Independence Day Parade marched ahead Thursday morning, July 4. This is the first year in Farragut history that the parade was at risk for cancellation due to the threatening weather conditions, Town officials said, keeping Farragut residents’ eyes glued to the radar updates. No thunder meant no cancellations though, and the parade line up began at 8:30 a.m. As the entries prepared for take-off, hundreds of residents unfolded their lawn chairs and opened tents and umbrellas, while kids lined the street dressed in rain boots waiting for candy and goodies to be thrown their way. Rebecca Konnstamm has made it to every parade during the past 26 years, and a sprinkle was not going to break the tradition. “I’ve been to all of them, it’s just our tradition. It’s how we start the Fourth off,” Konnstamm said. Carole Wyman brought out her chair for the seventh year in a row early Thursday morning. Wyman’s granddaughter was

Town fee schedule policereports updated for FY2014 ■
STEPHANIE EDWARDS Correspondent
The Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a new fee schedule for Fiscal Year 2014 during the June 27 meeting. Changes to the current fee schedule include the following: • The addition of a $300 grand opening sign security deposit and a $25 application fee; the security deposit is refundable once the grand opening sign has been returned in good condition. • Raising the community room fee from $10 per hour or $15 an hour with the use of the kitchen to $20 per hour and $30 with use of the kitchen • A new $30 per hour fee for the artificial turf field to be constructed at Mayor Bob Leonard Park • An increase in the fee for softball field league usage from $300 per team to $325 per team • An increase in the volleyball officials’ hourly rate from $135 a team to $165 per team. In other meeting news, Community Development director Ruth Hawk conducted the second reading of Ordinance 13-18 to amend the Farragut Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 4, Section VIII, Farragut
Municipal Flood Damage Prevention Regulations. The amendment will require buildings to have a minimum of 4 feet of freeboard above the Base Flood Elevation. Hawk reiterated the changes are not only beneficial in preventing flood damage but also help town residents and business owners stay in compliance with National Flood Insurance Program requirements. By the town enforcing floodplain management standards, set by the NFIP, Farragut residents and business are eligible to apply for flood insurance. The budget for Fiscal Year 2014 was passed on its second reading with the main adjustments being to the McFee Park Phase III design and construction being pushed back from FY2014 and FY2015 in order to allow the town to pursue the purchase of the historic Russell House. Other changes to the budget include an additional $13,283 in town employee salary and benefits, with a breakdown of $1,581 in administration, $740 in information and technology services, $6,462 in the public works department and $4,500 to provide an employee wellness program.

Farragut Folklife Museum entry as a Union Civil War soldier. “He snuck out of the house early this morning, because I told him if I saw him I may have to shoot him for being a Union soldier,” she said. The reasoning for the Smith family’s return every year is simple. “It’s just what you do,” 15thtimer Norma Smith said. The original roster had 95 parade participants, and despite the weather, 54 of them prevailed through the drizzle. “We realize for some people the weather made it difficult,” Town Parks and Leisure Services director Sue Stuhl said. “It was awesome. I was most impressed with how many people came out and supported our participants. It was very heartwarming, no matter what the weather,” she added. There was no hesitation for the FMS and Farragut High School dance teams to participate in the festivities. “We really just didn’t want to disappoint the town of Farragut since we made a commitment,” coach Adonia Adams said. Her girls walked, waved and took turns riding in the boat entry, a six-year tradition that started when Adams began coaching. She saw the weather as a positive factor, noting it was much cooler this year than in years past.
and yeah, it’s been a great experience.” Povlin, 48, was a member of the Intro to Farragut Class of 2013. She was born and raised in Willingboro, N.J., and earned her bachelor’s degree in ceramic engineering at Rutgers. She later moved to Washington, D.C., and was a research engineer, she said, but it would not be her last move. “I had gotten interested in the potential of patent law, so I moved up to Manhattan and became a patent paralegal at a patent law firm up there,” she said. “And then we ended up moving to Knoxville, and I

They moved to Ohio, Wisconsin and South Carolina before landing in Farragut, she said. “And we’ve had several houses,” she said. “I’ve moved so much. I have a routine in moving, and that’s just, when you get to that point, it’s not a good thing.” Now Povlin’s job is a few things, she said. “I like to say I’m a stay-athome mom, but my husband and I just opened an Anytime Fitness last October,” she said. “I like to go in there and be customer relations and talk to people and get to know our clients.”
SERC hears iPad pluses ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutpress.com
Seeking more iPads or laptops to advance learning, a Farragut Intermediate School teacher and administrator made their case before Farragut Schools Education Relations Committee. Erin Tharp, FIS fourth-grade teacher, brought an iPad to SERC’s Tuesday, June 4, meeting she uses in her classroom. “This is something the students use a whole lot. This is not in my hands super often during the day,” Tharp said. At the end of 2012-13 school year, each FIS class had one
iPad, Tharp said, in addition to her “teacher laptop.” That’s in addition to a computer lab used by all FIS students. To make her iPad more accessible, “I can hook it up to project onto the active board in my classroom,” Tharp said after the meeting. A “great app … called Stick Pick” allows Tharp “to individualize my instruction based on my students’ individual needs,” she said. “A new app that I’ve found … it’s called Pellagami,” Tharp added about using pictures to See SERC on Page 4A

• As a resident of Farlow Drive I have a brand new round about and traffic light at the end of my street. It’s nice. I have great access to the brand new Costco; I’m close to Turkey Creek and could list many other things that are wonderful about where I live. One thing that’s negative is the recycle yard that’s at the end of my road. Not the recycling element. Recycling is good; it has many benefits for a community and a society. What is negative are the piles of trash that get dumped overnight and then left next to the recycle bins for weeks on end. What is negative is the overflow that gets left next to the item specific recycle containers that is left for days on end. Dirty used mattresses, pallets and broken furniture are common items to see when I turn onto my street at the end of the day. Why? Why are these items left out in the open for days and weeks on end? If this is a common thing why aren’t those who manage this facility required or prepared to deal with this issue? Editor’s Note: The recycle lot off Farlow Drive is not in the town of Farragut and is a private operation. Personnel are situated on the lot to address your concerns. • Russell House: Seems like an old structure, no acreage for a parking lot, and therefore its value, as a business location is not that much. As a residence its location is simply dreadful. Meaning that it’s most definitely not worth $1.5 million. Being in the national registry makes it have less potential due to the restrictions, so the value for a private party is diminished even further. The Town wants to purchase it for its (very relative) historic value. Why at what sounds to be 3 to 4 times over the real actual market price? — because it’s not their money, and they still seem not to have learned from the historic light posts for $800K fiasco. For what it’s worth we as Farragut citizens oppose it, and hope others will come forward and the whole thing gets dropped until it’s election time and we can vote these people out. • I am a resident of Fox Run Subdivision and I would like to
thank the residents of Fox Den who live on or [are] connected to St. Andrews [Drive] and Champion[s Point] for their patience and courtesy over the last 18 months while the intersection of Everett Road and Kingston Pike was closed. There was a constant stream of cars that had to use these roads as detours to get to Kingston Pike and the residents were never rude and dealt with the onslaught of cars with a wave as we went by. Your graciousness was appreciated as much as the new red light. Thank you neighbors! • After reading presstalk for the last several weeks, I find that the negative mindset and the ability to complain is alive and well in Farragut. No matter what THAT church does it will never be received by all as worthwhile nor an asset to the community. So, to all the people who live to complain I sincerely wish the following: 1. You wake up every day to a traffic-free Kingston Pike (which probably indicates Farragut is dead) 2. Wherever you look, whatever you read you will always find the ability to find the negative, that you have a forum, such as presstalk, that you can voice your frustration with this world. I am sure this will make you happy, happy, happy. As for me and my house, we will always look for the many positives we have and celebrate these. Thank you. • I would like to make a complaint on fireworks. Please respect your neighbor’s property during this week of Fourth of July and other celebrations if you plan on setting off fireworks onto your neighbor’s property. I have an open area and people think that they should aim bottle rockets in my direction. Does that mean that I can shoot rockets towards their home and yard and not think anything about it? I doubt seriously that they would approve of my actions. The noise also frightens the heck out of my dogs. Thank you. • We would like to thank the farragutpress for keeping the people so well informed of what’s going on in the Farragut area and the surrounding areas and we know that this is hard work. This past week it rained

so hard on the south side of Kingston Pike in Farragut. The mud [that ran] from the 103 condos [construction site] across from Anchor Park was hard to get through on Turkey Creek Road and the water was very deep at many houses and it looked like the water was at the back of them. The aldermen’s and alderwomen’s job was to keep the people in their areas informed about what was happening. The aldermen did not do anything to stop letting these condos be built. When it is time for the next election we feel these people need to be voted out. These people should be out of office now. Some of our neighbors are now talking about what the city of Farragut has done for the people on the south side of Kingston Pike. Where are they spending the money? There are many things that need to be done on the south side of Kingston Pike. One thing is to stop these condos from being built across from a very nice park. It is full of kids every day it is good weather. There are 103 condos, which means there will be over 200 cars traveling this road every day. The road needs to be widened on the southwest end. … We know this would not have happened in Fox Den or Village Green. We will keep you informed as we find someone to run for alderman on the south side of Kingston Pike. • I saw the story on TV news about the fireworks scaring the horses in Knox County and the county police’s reluctance to enforce the laws. This is nothing new in Knox County as I have called and complained about fireworks in West Knox County landing in my yard and on my house and got the same response that police cannot do anything about it unless the officer sees the person shooting the fireworks. My observation is that if the police never come out, then of course they will never see someone breaking the law. Then they say it’s only a $50 fine. Well, so be it, it’s a $50 fine that should be given and the fireworks confiscated. Perhaps the county would be willing to come out and clean up the supposedly spent fireworks in my yard since I don’t want some

said after the meeting. Tharp’s students used “several iPad Touches, they’re just like the iPad but just much smaller … that I got from outside grants [valued at $199 each],” Tharp said of the 10 Touches her students share, adding they’re about “one-fourth the size of an iPad.” “My iPad Touches are great, but I’m the only teacher in the building with those. Even then it’s just really hard. It’s just kind of like your iPhone.” Cost of each iPad is roughly $500, Tharp said. Debbie Adorante, FIS assistant principal, said next school year begins a state-mandated fifth grade online “reading assessment.” “In any given year we have between 325 and 375 fifthgraders,” Adorante added. “We do have a computer lab, but it does take about a week to rotate all of fifth grade through when we try any kind of online testing.” Adorante said FIS’s immediate goal “is a second lab.”

illustrate a lessons, especially science, that allows the teacher a 30-second voice recording to help illustrate. This app also uses a little cartoon-like figure that helps illustrate the point. “The kids think it’s awesome.” “I would love to have four or five [iPads]. I could use them in a small group setting where I could have every student get on a certain app and kind of walk them through that. I can only imagine, like, if I were to have a class set of iPads. ... I could have every student do a quick little research report in less than 30 minutes, and have a presentation.” Looking ahead to Common Core standards, “There’s such an emphasis on research,” Tharp said. “Right now my classroom does not have the technology I need for that. I have two computers with Internet capability and my iPad. … So I can have three students on the Internet at a given time.” With research in mind, “In order for students to master skills there has to be a greater availability of technology for it to be effectively taught,” Tharp

And perhaps, since there doesn’t seem to be any effort to enforce the law, the sheriff’s department should be held liable for any property damage and bodily harm. The local law doesn’t enforce any laws out in West Knox County. They don’t enforce the speed laws, the noise laws, running stop signs and illegal fireworks. Why not?

Bob Watt Fishing Rodeo big hit Annual event draws participants from Nashville metro area
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
According to Paul Hermann, Farragut has a youth event that the Nashville area has yet to discover. So Hermann, a resident of Goodlettsville near Nashville, drove about 200 miles and brought his grandchildren to 29th Annual Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo held at Anchor Park fishing pond, adjacent to Fort Loudoun Lake, Saturday morning, June 8. Seeing the Rodeo advertised in a AAA magazine, “I haven’t heard of anything they do [in Nashville area] for the little ones like this,” Hermann said of grandsons, Dante Hermann, 7, and Marcus Hope Jr., 6. They were among 107 participants ages 2 to 13. “They’re having a ball, and that’s all that matters to me.” On top of everything else, both boys would go on to win Biggest Fish awards in 6-and-under and 7-to-10 boys age divisions. “For Marcus, it’s the first fish he’s ever caught,” Hermann said. “I’m sure we will come back.” Seven total winners were recognized with a certificate and gift card after 90 minutes of fishing, with most children catching bluegill and
a few a catfish. Biggest Fish winner, 6-and-under girls, was Bianka Bukovska; 7-9 girls, Emily Frost; 10-13 girls, Anna Wysmierski, and 10-13 boys, Raymond Wysmierski. Gray Parker earned Most Fish Caught honors with 11. According to Lauren Cox, Special Events and Program coordinator for event sponsor, town of Farragut, “We got 155 pounds of catfish delivered.” Alyvia Dubay, 2, caught 10 fish despite being just a toddler. Saying her family heard about the Rodeo ‘through the farragutpress,” Alyvia’s grandmother, Patti Lee, added, “She couldn’t wait to get a worm on [her hook] to catch another one.” Isabella Galindo, 3, caught her first-ever fish, a small bluegill. “She didn’t even know she had a fish at first,” said her mother, Laura Galindo. “I said, ‘reel it in, reel it in you’ve got a fish.’ … I said, ‘hurry, it’s getting away,’ and she reeled in faster.” “Mommy told me I got a fish, and that it was little,” Isabella said. “It was this little [using her fingers to show the size].” Brothers Bryce Huddleston, 12, and Brett, 8, both of whom caught multiple fish, were assisted by little sister, Isabella, 5, and cousin, Eli See RODEO on Page 8A

Jennifer Swane founded the organization in July 2004 with a few bedroom makeovers in Knoxville. Special Spaces now has 35 locations nationwide, spreading as far as California.

FARRAGUTPRESS THURSDAY, JULY 11, 2013 • 7A
It’s almost fair time I love the fair! I’ve been going to the one in our county since I was nine-years-old. Every summer, my parents used the fair as a bargaining chip with a list of extra chores I could do to make money for the rides. I don’t do the rides anymore, but there’s still something irresistible about the fair all these years later! We Pam can see the fairgrounds Young from I-5 Make it and as soon Fun! as the carnival sets up the Ferris Wheel and the latest rides, my imagination begins to stir. Even before the fair opens I can smell the aroma of fair food, which is one of the main draws for me. That delicious fragrance of grilled hamburgers, fried onions and deep fried corn dogs wafting through the air carrying with it culinary reminders that there’s the church pie booth and another vendor that makes fresh soft chocolate ice cream. On fair day I get my yearly quota of carbohydrates and grease. In August when the nostalgic wave comes over me, I have to get there. I can’t miss seeing the animals and almost every year a calf or a litter of piglets is born. I’ve never met a farmer I didn’t like
and I’m always amazed at the dedication farm kids have taking care of the livestock. I think the fair to a 4-H member is like the academy awards. They certainly deserve more than ribbons. I was raised in the country and I’ve got manure in my nostrils and hay in my blood. I love the smell of barns, the sight of rich brown soil plowed in perfect rows, the contented cluck of chickens, the soothing sound of happy cows and the sheer joy of frisky horses. When I was a child we lived on a ghost farm. I never saw a ghost there, but it was like a ghost town that’s void of the life that had once made it a lively town. This farm was void of the animals and all the buildings stood vacant of farm life. That allowed me to experience the joy of being a farm girl without having to do the work! My parents rented the farmhouse. The family that owned it had decided to sell off just the animals because the property was too valuable to sell. With good renters in their house, they were off to Japan and we spent seven heavenly years “on the farm.” Our ghost farm was surrounded by farm families with real farms and I grew up adoring them. Because I’m an animal lover I spent a lot of time at the farm next door to ours. The Hathaway farm had cows, chickens, goats, pigs and a horse. I loved to pretend I was a farmer! I remember one day I was grooming Bonnie, the Hathaway’s goat. As I brushed her I got the child-like notion to cut her beard. I was never allowed to cut my doll’s
deathnotices
hair or my younger sister’s for that matter, but I somehow knew Bonnie wouldn’t mind. I ran home and got Mom’s sewing scissors and proceeded to cut off most of the beard. I was right about Bonnie not minding, but I hadn’t thought about Mrs. Hathaway.
Soon after the grooming session I was face-toface with Mrs. Hathaway and my mom. In a very kind way it was explained to me that I had narrowly missed cutting the skin that hangs in the middle of a goat’s beard. Had I cut that, poor Bonnie could have
bled to death. All this talk of animals brings me back to the reason I’m writing this essay. Get, “go to the fair” put on your calendar. And when you get there, thank a farmer! For more from Pam Young go to www.ma-

Dryjanski, 2. “They just thoroughly enjoy fishing. This is their first fishing activity where it’s been a contest,” said the siblings’ mother, Mary Huddleston. Huddleston said she was tipped off about the Rodeo after “my sister saw it in the paper … “I didn’t even realize this was out here.”

dream bedrooms are created in one weekend all over the United States. The idea for this event actually originated at the San Francisco location, where kids who have had room makeovers participated as models. Swane loved the idea, but wanted to try to honor the ladies who take care of these children and see them at their worst. The host for the evening was Knox County celebrity Cindi Alpert, better known as C.J. from
Jason Klenkel, 12, fished in his third straight Rodeo. Jason “is an avid fisherman,” said his father, Phil Klenkel. “He got one today. … I like seeing the smile on his face when he pulls one in.” Enjoying their first-ever Bob Watt event were Ulysses Hull, 8, and little brother, Ledger, 5. “You can’t miss out on things like this,” said their father, Ethan Hull. 106.1 The River. “It’s not a chore. It’s not a job. It’s an honor,” said Alpert when opening the evening festivities. “We know how important it is to give back to local communities,” Alpert added. Belleza stylist Ashley Jones enjoyed the entire process with the ladies. “It’s been such a pleasure. They’re sweet, kind and generous. They are a blessing to work with. It’s nice to see [people] passionate about their jobs,” Jones said. “It takes a special person to work with these special children.”
STEVE GAZAWAY, REALTOR
Most pets recover from GVD Q: A few days ago, my dog, ‘Sandy’, started having problems walking. Her head was all tilted, and she kept falling down. She was eating and drinking, and didn’t seem painful. She is better, but not 100%, so we took her to the vet y e s t e r d a y. My vet said Stephanie that Sandy Myers most likely Ask has vestibuthe Vet lar disease. She is 11 years old, but has been pretty healthy her whole life. Can you explain this to me? J.C., Farragut A: It sounds like Sandy may have been diagnosed with Geriatric Vestibular Disease (GVD). It is the most common form of vestibular disease in dogs,
and with Sandy, being 11 years old, she is considered geriatric. The vestibular apparatus is located in the middle ear, and it is what allows us to balance and orient ourselves. It allows us to walk on uneven surfaces without falling and lets us know up from down. Thus, dogs (and occasionally cats) with Geriatric Vestibular Disease have their head tilted to one side, sometimes quite severely. Other clinical signs include circling and falling, generally to the same side where the head is tilted. Some also have involuntary eye movements called nystagmus. Pets often have difficulty doing simple tasks like walking or eating, because their balance and spatial orientation is so abnormal. The cause of GVD is idiopathic, which means the cause is really unknown. It is a syndrome of older animals, with no particular breed predilection, and is usually fairly acute. Other causes of
vestibular disease include middle ear infections and brain tumors, either benign or malignant. Strokes can happen in dogs and mimic GVD, but this is far less common. There is no treatment for GVD, but most clinical signs do resolve with time. Some pets may be left with a slight, permanent head tilt, but many resolve completely. Some pets may need medication for nausea, secondary to dizziness or motion sickness. Handfeeding may become necessary if the head tilt is severe. Affected pets should be restricted to a safe area in the home away from stairs, in an attempt to prevent a fall. The good news is that most pets make a full recovery. Long term prognosis is good. Hopefully, Sandy will continue to improve, too. Send your veterinary questions to lcac@lenoircityanimalclinic.com

“short course” seed in 100freestyle, “I did not make the team,” said Dr. Jenny McGrath Weaver, one of 10 to be inducted into 2013 Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame tonight, Thursday, July 11, in Knoxville Convention Center. “That was disappointing. That was the goal of my swimming career.” “I actually started to train for ’96 [Olympics], but at the same time I got accepted to medical school and I had to make a decision,” added Weaver, Medical director/bariatric surgeon (surgery to treat obesity) at St. Francis Center For Surgical Weight Loss in Memphis who “basically helped build the bariatric program there from ground
zero.” Medical school won. “I knew that my medical training was going to take many, many years,” Weaver said. “Watching the ’96 Olympics was probably the only time I had a little twinge of ‘what if,’” she added. “But I can turn around and look at my two healthy kids [ages 6 and 8] and that certainly takes away any regret or pause.” Weaver’s swimming career began in “summer league for the Gulfwood Gators” in 1978, she said. “Just really enjoyed the sport,” added Weaver, a 1988 FHS graduate. “Even at a very young age, coaches said, ‘Hey, she’s got some talent,’ … I then began to swim year-round, first at Pilot Aquatic Club there in Knoxville, and then for Atomic City Aquatic Club in Oak Ridge.

NDEPENDENCE DAY ARADE Despite threats of heavy, persistent rain, a few thousand hearty parade-goers donned tents, rain gear and umbrellas to better enjoy 26th Annual Farragut Independence Day Parade along Kingston Pike. While Parade participation was down in its annual trek from Farragut High School to Farragut Towne Square, 54 of the original 95 entries didn’t let a few periods of light rain dampen their enthusiasm.

Nathan Chesney joined the family business July 1. He followed in his father’s footsteps in becoming a dentist and joined Chesney Dentistry. His father, Gary Chesney, founded Chesney Dentistry, located at 111 Loudoun Road in Farragut, about 30 years ago, Gary Chesney said. Gary Chesney is excited about having his son join the practice, he said. “Just really thrilled and proud to have my son come and join me,” Gary Chesney said. “I feel like it’s an honor and a privilege. It’s something that we’ve looked forward to ... since he’s decided that he wanted to be a dentist.” Nathan Chesney didn’t immediately want to become a dentist. He didn’t see himself as one when he was younger. “I didn’t at all,” Nathan Chesney said. “I was thinking more of a medical doctor.” But after shadowing a doctor and a veterinarian, he did not like the experiences.

Nathan Chesney (left) stands with his father, Gary Chesney, at Chesney Dentistry, located at 111 Loudoun Road in Farragut.
Another shadowing experience edged him more toward his professional future. “I shadowed a dentist for a whole semester, and I got to watch him and how he interacted with his patients,” he said. “He gave you different stuff to do, and I really enjoyed it a whole lot.”
Then he thought of his dad’s influence on his life. “How he just had a good family life and was able to start up the organization, Homes of Love, and really work for Christ also,” he said. Gary Chesney and his wife, Debbie Chesney, co-founded
Homes of Love. “Homes of Love is an organization that was started 13 years ago, and we have homes for orphaned and at-risk children in Southeast Asia,” Gary Chesney said. “Currently we have eight See DENTISTRY on Page 2B

NHC Assisted Living and Rehab in Farragut will celebrate its past and its future on Thursday, July 18. NHC Farragut will mark its past by celebrating its 15th anniversary. The future will be represented by the grand opening of the Rehabilitation Unit Expansion. The July 18 event, which will take place from 5 to 7 p.m., will feature live entertainment and appetizers, said Harriet Cade, marketing director for NHC Farragut. People can call in and RSVP by dialing 865-777-4000. The deadline to RSVP is July 12. Included in the expansion are a new occupational therapy area, a new waiting area, flatscreen TVs, new offices and new therapy equipment, Cade said, as well as an expansion of the gym area. “We’ve got new offices obviously because we had to hire more staff to cover the expansion,” she said. The expansion gives more space, she said. “Better continuity of care, we can accept more patients and turn more patients out in a timely manner in a nicer area,” she said. “... And it’s just more comfortable. They were crammed in there pretty tight until we
expanded this area. Now everybody just has a little bit more room to do their exercises with a therapist.” Many people think NHC Farragut only has a rehab component, she said. “We do have an assisted living under the same roof as the rehab, and a lot of people just aren’t aware of that,” she said. “We have six levels of care to assist residents.” For residents of the assisted living component, NHC Farragut offers transportation, an activity program, 24-hour nursing care and chef-inspired meals, she said. “We’re able to let our people age in place a little longer, being that we have those six levels of assistance,” she said. One way NHC Farragut has evolved over the years is in its rehab component. “It started with just a smaller rehab,” she said. “This is our second expansion of our rehab. ... We expanded again in ’06 from the original campus, which still had the assisted living but there weren’t as many rehab rooms. And we just really sprung and took off as far as our reputation.” The rehab component is in demand, Cade said. “In our rehab, our occupancy is very high, and we have very limited availability sometimes,” See NHC on Page 2B

Etheridge ET softball Player of Year ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Some gentle prodding from mom and dad, with loving encouragement always provided, plus a relentless desire to improve helped set the stage for Tori Etheridge’s senior softball season at Farragut High School. Time to be a leader. And along the way, earn Tennessee Softball Coaches Association East Tennessee Player of the Year honors. Etheridge “It was a really big honor; I was really shocked, actually,” said Etheridge, an All-District 4-AAA shortstop her junior and senior seasons who also was named District MVP in 2013. “Everybody had been telling me, ‘You’ve had such a great year,’” she added. “I thought I did OK, but then they tell me that I won the Miss Softball East Tennessee thing, and I was like, ‘Oh wow, that is awesome.’” As Farragut’s only healthy senior player for the entire 2013 season who helped lead the youthful Lady Admirals to a 4AAA regular season title, “I think I broke .500,” Etheridge, 18, said about her senior batting average. “Actually, the last two years she’s had to be a good leader for us,” FHS head coach David Moore said. “She came in as a freshman, a lot of talent, you

could see that. … being compared to Megan and Stephanie” Harris, former Lady Admirals All-state infielders. “She ended up third behind Megan and Stephanie in several different categories” in team career statistics, Moore added. “Always had a solid career. Kind of had a breakout year this year.” Thrust into a leadership role, “It was hard, but I also welcomed it,” Etheridge said. “Sarah Evers was the other senior, but she had injuries through-
out the whole season, so she wasn’t playing much. But she was there. “It was difficult. You could feel like, ‘Oh my gosh these underclassmen, what are you going to do with them, they never listen,’” Etheridge added about her experiences early in the 2013 season. “You’ve just got to sit them down and tell them how it is and say, ‘Hey, like this is what we’re doing and you need to get your head right.’ “I would get on to them, but it
wasn’t anything big. Mainly during practice. I wouldn’t really get on to them during the game because I didn’t want anybody to lose focus.” Choosing Shorter University, an NCAA Division II school in Rome, Ga., “I had honestly never heard of the college” before meeting Shorter head coach Al Thomas “at a Chattanooga tournament,” Etheridge said. “I went down there for a visit, and I just fell in love with the place. I mean, it’s beautiful down there.
I love the coach. Everybody’s so nice. I just love everything about it.” At Shorter, “They’ve put me down as a utility player, so basically wherever they need me,” Etheridge said. About her dedication and work habits, “If I had a bad game or a bad practice, it didn’t sit well with me,” Etheridge said. “I wanted to redo it and just work at it and I wanted to get it right.” Looking back on her softball career, “I think I started when I was 6,” Etheridge said. “I have never played any other sport. … My brother [Dalton] used to play baseball. I kind of wanted to be like him. … I’ve mostly played shortstop my entire life. Every now and then I would play outfield. But it’s basically been shortstop.” Saying she appreciated Moore’s patience as a coach, Etheridge began her FHS career at third base as a freshman. She started at third from early in the season in 2010. “I remember Megan Harris was playing third; I just looked up to her so much,” Etheridge said about the former all-star Lady Admiral now playing at the University of Virginia. “I was like, ‘I’m going in at third. I just hope I can do as good a job as she does.’” Having never played third before FHS, “Now that I’ve played it I really like third,” she said. “It’s kind of a tie between shortstop and third.” Etheridge then moved behind the plate, becoming Moore’s starting catcher for her entire sophomore season in 2011.
Healthier Moran a new golfer FDCC head pro almost earns PGA Championship slot
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Improving his golf game with age, although this former New Yorker is still straddling his mid30s, Scott Moran has been near the top of his game the past 12 months. In fact, this PGA head golf professional at Fox Den County Club fell just two strokes short of qualifying for a major: 2013 PGA Championship, to be played at Oak Hill, Rochester, N.Y. Aug. 8-11. Winning PGA Sectional Professional National Championship Qualifier for a second time ever last July at his FDCC home course, Moran, 36, earned the right to compete in PGA of America’s PNC event at Crosswater Club and The Meadows courses, Sunriver Resort, Oregon, June 23-26. That’s where his 3-over 290 (72 holes) fell barely short of PGA qualification, finishing tied for 34th (top 20 advance to PGA Championship). “I was somewhat disappointed, ultimately that’s my goal … my goal [also] was to prove myself as one of the better play-
ers; not just in our section, but in our country,” Moran said. “To do that as a club pro for me is very rewarding, because my play and my practice isn’t as much as being a teacher in the industry. A lot of these guys are teachers and assistants, so they have more time to be able to play and practice. “When you take a step back and look at it, how much of an honor and achievement it is for over 4,000 people to try and qualify for the PNC, and there’s 312 players [qualify],” Moran added. “And then to tie for 34th from all the players in the country is pretty cool.” Even compared to the 20 PGA Championship qualifiers at PNC, “I was the only player in the field of 312 players that didn’t have a score higher than a bogey, and they were difficult golf courses,” Moran said. “I didn’t hit it dead solid perfect off the tee, but focusing on my fundamentals and knowing what I’m capable of and my golf swing, I put the ball in play off the tee,” Moran said. “Never had a penalty stroke off the tee, never had a penalty shot into the green. … I hit maybe 75
percent of my fairways each round, which enabled me to hit good, solid shots to the green. My putting inside 15 feet was pretty strong.” Helping prepare Moran for his near PGA Championship qualification effort in Oregon was his PGA Tour participation in FedEx-St. Jude Classic, Memphis, June 6-9, which Moran also earned the right to participate in after winning PGA Sectional last July. In the “two or three years” leading up to early 2012, Moran said he “didn’t feel as good … didn’t feel like I had the energy … mentally just kind of cloudy. I felt like my flexibility and my strength were kind of holding me back.” With a renewed determination “to put myself in a better state of mind mentally and physically” that was realized in last summer’s PNC qualifying success at FDCC, “I started trying to eat better, drink more water … working out,” Moran said. Making even more strides in the past year, “Over the winter I lost about 15 pounds. Physically I got stronger, more flexible,” Moran said.
