Knox County Clerk race heats up ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
With early voting for Thursday, Aug. 7, primary and general elections beginning Friday, July 18, sparks have been flying in one Knox County campaign. Foster D. Arnett Jr. and William Mike Padgett haven’t exactly exchanged compliments in their race for Knox County Clerk. “When I took office in 2008 I think this office was pretty much
in disarray,” Arnett, a Republican incumbent who began serving Sept. 2, 2008, said. He was reelected to a full term in 2010. Padgett, a Democrat, Arnett served as Knox County Clerk from 1986 to 2007 before being forced to
resign due to a Tennessee Supreme Court ruling concerning term limits with state constitutional offices. “Since I have been in office, along with my senPadgett ior staff, we have been able to cut our budget by hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars,” Arnett said. Padgett said, “I’m by far the most qualified person of the two in the campaign,” adding his previous years service in the office “was a well-greased machine. … Twenty-one years of unblemished reporting from the county auditor to the state auditor to the independent auditor.” Though two interim County Clerks served after Padgett for more than a year-and-a-half, Arnett, 58, said Padgett left behind a “culture of laxness”
that he inherited. Padgett, 65, counters, “Morale is down” with Arnett’s staff thanks in part “to no raises … employees in that office right now are calling me, texting me.” Padgett pointed to a five percent employee turnover annually during his terms versus Arnett’s “about 30 percent turnover.” Arnett said staff raises and bonuses “are based on performance evaluations that are done See CLERK on Page 4A

In the middle of summer, parents of Farragut High School students are assessing the removal of Michael Reynolds as principal. Reynolds, principal at FHS for 10 years and a social studies teacher and coach at the school dating back to 1989, was transferred to Central High School by Knox County Schools superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr. “I have appointed Michael Reynolds to be the principal at Central High School. …,” McIntyre stated in a KCS press release dated July 14. McIntyre did not elaborate on why he made this decision. Seth Smith, assistant principal and FHS athletic director, also was transferred to Central according to Donald Dodgen, chair of FHS Physical Education and Wellness Department and assistant athletic director. Reynolds recorded a oneminute audio address concerning his transfer, as released by “Knox County School District.” “Dear Farragut High School students, parents and community, it is with much sadness that I must inform you that I am leaving Farragut High School. However, it is with great excitement that I have been given the opportunity to take on a new challenge. “I have truly cherished my time at Farragut, and our students are amazing,” Reynolds added. “I believe that we’ve made great strides in focusing in on achieving excellence in the arts, academics and athletics. You have great teachers and a great leadership team. Each member of the staff and administration knows the mission of creating a school and community that is second to none. “Please help them and sup-

port the new leader as you did me. I will cherish my time at Farragut High School always.” At least one FHS educator took the news hard. “It’s just a dark day. Farragut High School will go on and do well. It always has. But it’s just a tragic loss,” Dodgen, a Knox-area educator for roughly 40 years, and basketball coach for more than 30, said. “Both of them have been such
a great asset to Farragut High School,” Dodgen added. “Both of them are dear, dear friends of mine, I’ve known them for a long, long time. I’ve known Mr. Reynolds for years and years.” Dodgen labeled Reynolds “a great leader and a great principal and a great person. … A good listener, loyal, honest. He’s like a younger second dad to me.

The I-40/75 Exit 373 FarragutCampbell Station east and westbound off-ramps and eastbound on-ramp will undergo improvements beginning in mid-October, according to Tennessee Department of Transportation officials and is projected to take 10 to 18 months to complete. The westbound off ramp construction will include roughly a 2,000-foot auxiliary lane and 1,700-foot ramp with two lanes instead of the current one lane. The eastbound on-ramp also will undergo widening. The third adjustment includes making eastbound off-ramp signalized. “This is one of our safety projects … this is not a complete revamp of the interchange, but a safety project,” Paul Beebe, spokesman for Survey & Design Office in Region 1 for TDOT, said. Bids for the construction will take place Friday, Aug. 29. Traffic will continue to use the off-ramps throughout construction, and no detours will be issued. “Current configuration of the intersection includes fairly short off-ramps, and traffic waiting to enter Campbell Station Road often backs up to the point that vehicles are stopped on the shoulder of the Interstate,” Daryl Smith, town of Farragut engineer, said. Some congestion will occur during the construction time, but the finished product should
decrease the current Campbell Station off-ramp wait time. The construction does not require additional land in order to complete. “This will provide eastbound motorists entering Campbell Station Road a much easier movement during peak travel times,” Smith added. Mark Nagi, TDOT Region 1 community relations officer, said he also hopes revamping would lessen traffic in the Campbell Station exit area. “This work should alleviate some of the congestion in this highly-traveled area and move the traffic more efficiently,” Nagi said. A definite total cost for the project will not be publicly available until the late August bidding, but estimates gave TDOT somewhat of an idea. “Any estimates we’ve got are really preliminary … $1.5 million was the original estimate, but those are preliminary in nature, and once a project is out for bid in August, we will know more specifically,” Daniel Oliver, director of project development for TDOT Region 1, said. This project is separate from the interchange project the Town drew a few years ago, which called for a new 1-40/75 bridge at Campbell Station and requires more land. That project is not expected to begin anytime soon. “We don’ t have anything on that … It could be out many, many years, and I really don’t have anything on that at this point,” Oliver said.

Town court fines business for sign violation ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Appearing before town of Farragut Municipal Judge Lucinda R. Troyer, a Farragut businessman said Town leaders should “work with businesses to come up with a solution that works for everyone” concerning a more flexible sign ordinance. John Farinella, owner of Champion Daylilies, 341 McFee Road, didn’t contend the charge before the court that he was guilty of a sign ordinance violation. “I’m not here to say I’m not guilty, the pictures [taken by Town staff] speak for themselves,” Farinella said before Troyer during his Municipal Court hearing Monday evening, July 14, in Town Hall boardroom. “I’m just saddened that there’s no compromising in this particular situation,” adding that without such signage, “It really limits my ability to run my business.” Farinella was ordered by Troyer to pay a $50 fine plus $100 in court costs. Naming off several other Town businesses he said have been in violation of the sign ordinance, including at least one previously cited and found in violation by
Troyer, Farinella added, “I’m willing to pay the fine, I’m willing to take the sign down, I’m willing to move my business, but I’m not willing not to say something about it.” Coming up with one example of a compromise, “‘OK, maybe you can’t have [the sign] Monday through Friday, but maybe you could put it up on a busy day or once a month?’” he said. In reference to Mark Shipley, Community Development director who took pictures of the sign violation and presented them to Troyer, Farinella said, “I drove here and I passed a rodeo sign. … If I took a picture of it and I reported it, the man that’s having the rodeo would probably be in here because he’s not following the rules. “I know [a] neighbor … who ironically has a donkey. My 4-by4 sign is illegal but their donkey can do whatever it wants?” he added. Troyer suggested “talking to your alderman” if Farinella wanted to have an effective voice in possibly helping to amend the sign ordinance more to his liking.

office “was costing Knox County taxpayers a lot of money to keep open. It wasn’t efficient.” Moving to a former Markman’s Jewelers store nearby, “We’re going to be saving at least $150,000 in rent over what we were paying,” he added. The much higher mall rent, Arnett said, was an example of “a whole lot of financial waste in our office” during Padgett’s terms. Moreover, Knox County taxpayers “were paying our employees to take a shopping day at Christmas and a paid birthday ” during Padgett’s terms, Arnett added. Padgett admitted to giving his staff “a half day shopping day for Christmas,” adding that in the clerk’s office, “It is absolutely the slowest period of the year, the week before Christmas and the week after Christmas.” Such perks, including paid birthdays off, “built their morale,” Padgett added. “… Did it cost the county money? No. We covered for each other during that day.” Early voting times in the county are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday.

four times a year.” Feedback from citizens, Padgett said, claims “long lines and reduced hours” while doing County Clerk business in recent years versus Padgett’s longer hours and much shorter wait times. “We want to extend the hours and serve the public in a more efficient, effective way,” Padgett added. Arnett used the “Farragut office” in Town Hall as an example of efficient customer service. “It was completely full, and everybody was in and out in five minutes. An elderly woman who couldn’t hear very well … was in and out in about 10 minutes.” Padgett also said Arnett has caused citizen inconvenience by closing County Clerk satellite offices in Knoxville Center Mall and Five Points in East Knoxville. “We had a computer learning center [at Five Points] for children of the AfricanAmerican community,” Padgett added. While Arnett said the Five Points office was closed because it was “hemorrhaging money … it was generating less than three percent of our business,” he added the Knoxville Center Mall

Elliott endorses Pinchok This letter is to endorse and encourage votes for Ron Pinchok for Alderman. I’ve known Ron and his family for over 25 years. Since his retirement, Ron has gotten very active in volunteering for the Town of Farragut. While others may talk about their support, Ron has volunteered his time and expertise as an active member of our town’s Economic Development Committee (supporting current and new businesses). However, my letter is primarily about his volunteer efforts on behalf of our Town’s outstanding parks, fields and greenways.
In his role as a volunteer for the Town’s Parks and Recreation Committee, Ron has been actively involved with the planning process that led to: • Artificial turf being installed at Mayor Bob Leonard Park which allows year-round usage. • Architectural design of the McFee Park expansion. Many reading this letter will benefit from this expansion’s additional all purpose fields, two dog parks, tennis courts and disk golf among other recreational enhancements. Ron Pinchok is for continued expansion of our town’s greenways with a focus on getting more connections so more peo-
ple can access our town’s parks without having to use their vehicles. He is also enthusiastic about adding more bike lanes to future road construction creating a safer environment for bike riders and drivers of motor vehicles. Early voting begins July 18 with the election taking place on August 7th. Lets keep this “green” momentum going. Please join me in supporting and voting for Ron Pinchok for Alderman!

Concord Road revamp could begin in 2015
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
With an estimated two years needed to construct Concord Road widening and improvements once ground is broken according to a Tennessee Department of Transportation official, finishing right-of-way plans remains the next step. “Based on the current schedule, we anticipate right-of-way plans will be completed in the fall of 2014,” Mark Nagi, community relations officer for TDOT Region I office, said. “Funding for the right-of-way phase of development is authorized upon completion of right-of-way plans.” Current estimated cost of the .73 of a mile widening and improvements, from the intersection of Turkey Creek road south to the Northshore Drive roundabout, is $20.5 million according to TDOT officials who are overseeing the project. Concord Road will be widened from two lanes to five, including a center turn lane. The project also will include four-foot bike lanes in each direction, a fivefoot sidewalk on the east side of the roadway and an eight-foot greenway on the west side. A railroad bridge overpass, near the roundabout, will be replaced and widened to four lanes. One modification approaching the roundabout involves adding a ramp, which doesn’t lead into
the roundabout, going directly from southbound Concord Road to westbound Northshore. “Once right-of-way plans have been completed, the department will contract with licensed, independent appraisers to initiate the property appraisal process,” Nagi said. “We anticipate all appraisals to be completed within three to four months following the completion of right-of-way plans.” With 25 property owners to deal with, “The next step, after plans and funding, would entail providing notices to each affected property owner informing them of our proposed acquisition,” Nagi said. “The notices include information regarding the appraisal and acquisition process, including tentative schedules for each. Once we receive our appraisals, we schedule appointments with each property owner individually to make our acquisition offers.” Once bids are let and a contractor emerges after all right-ofway issues are settled, “Should construction activities begin in late 2015/early 2016, we anticipate the project would be completed in late 2017/early 2018,” Nagi stated via e-mail. Concerning the percentage of turn lane distance set aside within the .73 of a mile, “The first 1,000 feet of the project [from Turkey Creek intersection southward] is going to be five lanes with turn lanes. The next 2,300 approximately is going to have a
raised median. And then the last 600 feet, when we go over the bridge, is going to be just a fourlane section,” Jeff Turner, TDOT Region I design officer, said. All four TDOT officials agreed during a conference call that the $20.5 million estimated cost [80 percent federal, 20 percent state] could go up depending, especially, on utility relocation costs. Concord Road has its center lanes literally splitting town of Farragut limits, to the west, and Knox County to the east. Town boundaries end southbound just past the railroad overpass, just a few hundred feet from the roundabout. As for traffic congestion during construction, Paul Beebe, Region I survey and design manager, said, “Our intent is to not slow traffic down at all. They’ll probably put a lower speed limit through there.” Nagi added, “We don’t see this project as being a significant disruption into people’s normal traffic patterns.”

Turkey Creek Road to close for repairs ■ TAMMY CHEEK
tcheek@farragutpress.com
Motorists who travel along Turkey Creek Road will find the road closed soon so the Town can stabilize a slope. A 14-day notice of the closure will be publicized prior to work beginning. The project came under discussion when Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously during its meeting Thursday, July 10, to increase expenses by $272,179 for the Turkey Creek Road and the McFee/Wentworth Greenway projects. Allison Myers, Town recorder, said $70,600 is allowed for the
Turkey Creek Road slope project. Darryl Smith, Town engineer, said the Town reconstructed Turkey Creek Road, from Concord Road to just west of Brixworth Subdivision in 1997. To limit the impact of property at 11625 Turkey Creek Road, part of the design left a steeply cut slope along the front of that property. “Over the last few years, we have had some real issues with that slope,” Smith said. He added it has continued to slump onto the Town’s sidewalk, and Public Work’s crews have been called out at least twice to remove large amounts of dirt from the sidewalk and Turkey Creek Road, he said.
“In the interest of public safety, we have initiated the project to cut the slope back then install sod,” Smith said. “With the spread of the [bid] estimates, is there anything particularly tricky about this project, or is it straight-forward?” Alderman Jeff Elliott asked. Smith replied the project is fairly straightforward, but to reduce the costs and make it easier to do, he said the Town is closing Turkey Creek Road for about 28 days. Smith added the Town hates to close any road but trying to maintain the traffic while excavating the dirt would be difficult and stretch out the project.

violation from Shipley was dated July 9 and mailed to Farinella, the businessman acknowledged. However, Farinella said he did not get to read the letter “until after the 18th” because he and other family members “were in Israel.” “He wrote a very nice letter. It didn’t seem to be threatening in any way, to try to see what I needed to do to resolve the situation,” Farinella added. “I left a message on his voice mail.” The next day, Farinella said, “I get a call from the police … cited for the sign ordinance [violation]. … To this day I haven’t received a call other than the citation [notice].”
“You knew where you stood with him,” Dodgen added. “He had high expectations out of all of us up here, and we knew that.” Smith “was my assistant [boys basketball coach] here, we brought Seth in many years ago,” Dodgen said. “… Grew up through the system. Just a quality person and a great administrator and great athletic director.” Attempts to contact McIntyre, primarily to explain the reason why Reynolds and Smith were transferred, were unsuccessful at deadline. No timetable was announced by KCS as to when a new FHS principal and assistant principal/athletic director would be named.

Fullington fills heart with UNC powder blue Farragut hot-hitting third baseman dumps Cincy, commits to UNC
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
While the North Carolina Tar Heels Baseball program has never won a College World Series, it’s currently a program of good guys who finish first in other ways. That’s the view of Chase Fullington, Farragut’s All-Knoxarea third baseman whose hot bat helped lead FHS to the program’s eighth Class AAA state title in May. Fullington’s sizzling bat in summer ball led to a change of heart, and a new appreciation for Carolina powder blue. Committing to the University of Cincinnati in February, Fullington, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound rising senior, changed his mind. He committed to UNC, one of the nation’s top college programs in the 2000s, Thursday, July 3. “North Carolina was a no brainer for me,” said Fullington, Farragut’s No. 2 batter in the line-up who hit .344 with 17 doubles in 2014. “Their coaches are known to be, like, good guys, and it’s a Christian-based program.” Rating the Tar Heels among all current programs nationwide, “I’d say in my opinion I think they’re the best,” Fullington, who said he’ll likely be a middle infielder at UNC, added. “They went to the College World Series in 2013 and

It just worked out.” Admirals head coach Matt Buckner said, “Cincinnati’s a good place, but North Carolina’s one of the better programs in the nation over the last 10 years. Facilities that are unreal. I think that would be a good deal for anybody.” Helping his stock, according to Fullington, has been his summer ball performance for the Atlanta Blue Jays, “the 12th-ranked team in the country at the begin-
ning of the summer” among 17and-under summer league teams according to Fullington. “I’m leading the team in hitting right now. I’m batting, like, somewhere around .400,” said Fullington, the Blue Jays starting shortstop while playing “a little second base” in 45 total games through early July. “He’s grown a lot as a player and physically, and matured,” Buckner said. “He’s still going to get better and better. He’s got a really good left-handed stroke. He’s come a long way.” Specifically recalling the “Perfect Game Tournament” in
Atlanta with the Blue Jays where “every good team in the country comes and plays in it” according to Fullington, “I hit like .550, or maybe even more than that … with four doubles and two triples. And that was against, like, a bunch of good pitchers,” he added. “Like one game was against a 93, 94 mph guy. I went 2-for-3. We had three hits [as a team]. “That was the night that a bunch of schools got interested.” Fullington said he began reconsidering his Cincinnati commitment when “some people told me I could go to, like, a big-
ger D[ivision] I school. “Four schools were prepared to offer me,” Fullington, 17, added about Auburn, Duke and Clemson in addition to UNC. As for feedback from North Carolina as to why they offered, “I throw right-handed and bat left-handed, and they said that’s a pretty good trait to have,” Fullington said. “They said I could hit really well.” Defensively with the Blue Jays, “Maybe one or two errors” in his first 45 games, Fullington said.
Patience for Blevins at Belmont ■ ALAN SLOAN

Farragut 7-on-7 at MC Farragut senior running back Jeremiah Parton looks for room around the right side after a catch during a 7-on-7 scrimmage versus Anderson County Saturday morning, July 12, at Maryville College. The Admirals and Mavericks were two of 19 teams in annual East Tennessee 7-on-7 Pass Perimeter Practice Day, which included schools from Middle Tennessee (Giles County, Cookeville and Livingston Academy), the Tri-Cities area (Tennessee High and Elizabethton) and Kentucky (Bell County). Also participating from the Farragut area were Hardin Valley Academy, Bearden, Knoxville Catholic and Lenoir City.
Madison Blevins will likely have to add extra patience to her list of qualities as a Belmont University student/athlete. As this former Farragut Lady Admirals two-time All-Region 2AAA guard adjusted to life as a freshman guard at this small NCAA Division I school in Nashville last season, limited playing time was the rule (1.2 points per game with one start in 13 game appearances). It may be again in 2014-15. Four “really good guards that were juniors last year” return as rising seniors for the Bruins’ 2014-15 team according to head coach Cameron Newbauer. Though knowing she had little to no game-day playing minutes ahead of her last season, Blevins won over Newbauer with her “selflessness” in practice. “It’s a testament to her character,” he said. “I love that aspect of her because she’s a bigtime team player. … She sacrificed playing time but it didn’t change her attitude or effort. “In a case like that you never know how players are going to respond because once the seasons gets rolling, it’s pretty evident who’s going to get game

minutes and who’s not,” Newbauer added. “But from a coaching standpoint ... her attitude and effort, day in and day out, was fantastic in practice and in game prep.” Blevins said, “Our upperclassmen guards, they’re great. … They’re so skilled athletically.” As for skills, “She’s a very good athlete and plays hard, and plays physical,” Newbauer said. “… She’s not afraid defensively to guard anybody. Really good defender because of her athleticism. Her toughness is probably her biggest attribute.”
For example, “There was one game [last season] at Tennessee State, we were down double digits and I put her in defensively and she starts helping us get stops and pressuring some kids,” added Newbauer, who led Belmont to the NIT in his first season in 2013-14 (the program’s first post-season appearance since 2007). Listed a shooting guard who “played point guard some in high school,” Blevins, 19, said she also can play small forward (5-foot-9). About the adjustment to Division I college basketball, “It was tough, it was physically and mentally challenging at times,” she said. “… There’s just so much more to it in college than there is in high school. … It was a lot more challenging mentally than it was in high school. “But overall it was really a great experience for our first year,” she added. “It was a great transition for me, a great adjustment because of my coach, he was great helping us transform from high school athletes to college athletes. And our teammates were just great, too.” As for where Blevins needs to improve, Newbauer said, “She’s pretty skilled, but polish her skills a little more, be a little more consistent offensivley.”

ESK kitchen duo catering as Lunch Ladies ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Lisa Nix and Renee Nye, both of Farragut, took Episcopal School of Knoxville’s lunches from the farm to the table then became inspired to take their endeavors to another level — starting a catering company, The Lunch Ladies To Go & Catering Co. “If we put our food in people’s mouths, they will eat it and they will love it,” Nix, ESK kitchen assistant, said. “That’s our plan — get the food to enough people and the food will speak for itself. Episcopal School headmaster Jay Secor said he is excited about their business plan. “Now, Episcopal School is a non-profit organization,” he said. “We don’t make any money educating children — and we’re not supposed to — but if we can make a little money selling bread, we think that’s wonderful. So it’s nice having the lunch ladies as a profit center about our school.” Nye, ESK kitchen manager, said a portion of The Lunch Ladies’ sales goes back to the
school. “We couldn’t do it without the school,” she said. “The school is a big, big part of our story.” Nye’s and Nix’s venture all started with a farm-to-table lunch program initiated at the school four years ago. “It was a group effort,” Nye said. “There was a group of parents that met with myself and the headmaster, and we started exploring changing what we were serving for lunch to the kids. “We wanted to make it healthier and more wholesome and chemical free,” she said. “And, from that grew the idea to have a garden and chickens, and it really just exploded.” Secor said ESK used to be a U.S. Department of Agriculture school, taking the government commodities and cash reimbursements for serving USDAtype lunches. But the plan did not fit the school. So, the farm-to-table program was hatched. Nye said students and their parents were excited about the new lunches, and parents started asking if they could buy the food. So, a year ago, the

Bill Brewer and Suzanne Laine want to keep people’s lives as intact as much as possible, so they started Acti-Kare Responsive In-Home Care two months ago in Brewer’s home, 10805 Dundee Road, in Farragut. “We provide care in people’s homes,” Brewer, Acti-Kare’s owner and area director, said. He went into business with Suzanne Laine, the business’ marketing director. While senior citizens are a major portion of Acti-Kare’s clientel, it also serves younger adults and children. “For the past couple years, I have been looking for a good business, a good franchise, that would meet everything we’re looking for in a business –— work out of the home, work our own hours and really help peo-

ple,” Brewer said. “We were looking for some-
thing in the area of seniors because that’s such a growing
population, and there’s such a great need,” Laine said. “As we all know, we’re living longer, we’re healthier and we want to stay in our own homes as long as possible,” she added. “So this affords people the opportunity to keep as much of their lifestyle the same and the quality the same by having someone come in the home. “But, this is non-medical, so obviously, if there’s medical care involved, the person may need to go to a nursing home; but this service will keep you in your comfortable home and provide things that may be tough for you to handle right now, whether it’s transportation, meals, bathing, grooming or just companionship,” Laine said. Brewer and Laine have known each other for several years. She said they met while working out at a fitness center, where he was a trainer. “We are both into fitness, and health-type things,
which really matches what we want to do — help people keep their lives as intact as much as possible,” Laine said. Acti-Kare is open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. Brewer set up the office in his home, which serves simply as a central point. The business has five caregivers on staff who go into people’s homes and in assisted living facilities, they said. “It’s really important to start small and provide extremely personal care, and make sure we are meeting 100 percent of the clients’ needs,” Laine said. “We really want to treat our clients like family members.” “It’s not like we’re an office you walk in,” Brewer said. “We provide care in people’s homes, so we’re open all hours.” For more information about Acti-Kare, call 865-291-1970 or 865-789-2172 or go to wbrewer@actikare.com.

Farragut Rotary keeps Governor’s Cup ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Ray Fisher did his best to deflect any credit for helping The Rotary Club of Farragut win its second consecutive Governor’s Cup, a traveling trophy annually awarded to the top golfing team among 65 Rotary Clubs in District 6780 (most of East Tennessee and much of Middle Tennessee). Yet Fisher and teammate Ben Harkins are two members of this 4-man RCF team that have led their club to back-to-back 6780 titles, the most recent in their backyard — Willow Creek Golf Club — June 6 among nine participating clubs. In an 18-hole stroke play, bestball format, the Farragut team shot 58 and won by one stroke. Praising the play of teammates Craig Collier, Doug Powell and Ben Harkins, “We birdied the last five holes to win it,” Fisher said after RCF received its trophy, presented by 6780 Past Governor Ray L. Knowis, during a brief ceremony at the club’s regular Wednesday lunch meeting July 9 in Fox Den Country Club. “Doug and Craig deserve eighty percent of the credit. Ben and I carried the rest of it. “We all contributed, but Doug Powell was probably better than all of us,” Fisher, an avid golfer, added. “I call him ‘Long Knocker,’

Webb students make historic ‘dropping’ polio vaccine trip ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Five Webb School of Knoxville Interact Club students joined four adults that included Frank Rothermel, past Rotary Club International District 6780 governor, for a historic visit to India last January. “As it happened, India was declared polio-free two days before we got on the plane in January to fly over there,” Liz Gregor, Webb Multicultural coordinator, said about the group’s reasons for visiting that included participating in India’s National
Immunization Days by “dropping the drops.” This presentation about the group’s historic trip came during The Rotary Club of Farragut’s weekly Wednesday lunch meeting, June 18, in Fox Den Country Club. “What kind of made this one special was we were taking students ages 15, 16, 17 to this amazing experience,” Gregor said. “We told the students, ‘One day you’re going to be telling your grandchildren you were in India at a historic time.’” Rachel Yin, rising Webb junior and president of that school’s
Interact Club [high school version of Rotary] for 2014-15, was among the five students who helped immunize Indian children while visiting two schools where they shared experiences with Indian students and left supplies. “Even though there is no polio now in India, they’re still going to continue the NID days for a couple more years just to make sure it’s completely eradicated,” Gregor said. Rothermel said the NID program immunizes “175 million children” in India, adding that India had gone three years without a reported case of polio as of
January. As for the need to keep up immunizations, Rothermel said, “The polio virus exists in sewage, and there’s open sewage all over the country.” In bordering Pakistan, there are “seventy-some” cases, Rothermel added. Because of instability caused by terrorists, Pakistan’s government has struggled “to be able to get the area stable enough to where they can go in there with health workers,” Rothermel said. “There have been a lot of health workers killed who have worked on polio.
“… India already has required everybody from Pakistan to have proof or evidence of polio vaccination to enter the country.” Two other reasons for going to India involved the students visiting two schools, including an Indian school, “Which we have established an exchange with over the last couple of years,” Gregor said. “… Our final reason for going was to visit a slum school that the Interact students at Webb have supported the last five years. We’ve raised, with dinners and all See INDIA on Page 2B
FHS Football Booster Club presents Gridiron Garage Sale July 19 ■ COURTNEY SUCH

Alex Tinal, 16, and Michael Travis, 16, organize items in the storage center in preparation for the first Gridiron Garage Sale, benefiting Farragut High School Football Booster Club. The sale will take place from 9 a.m. until noon, Saturday, July 19, in the FHS junior parking lot.
The Farragut High School Football Booster Club is organizing the first ever Family Gridiron Garage Sale from 9 a.m. until noon, Saturday, July 19, in the FHS junior parking lot — a new approach to raising money for the Admirals’ 2014 season. The sale will include a broad variety of items, including sports equipment, furniture, dishes and clothes. The idea started in the booster’s January executive board meeting as a way to get all players and family members involved in fundraising for the Admirals. Each player’s family was asked to bring in at least $100 worth of items to sell, but the word has
spread so much that the organizers are accepting donations from anyone wiling. “The football players are responsible for going around for those who cannot bring their items, to pick up the items, so the community is meeting the players. They are loading it on the truck and they are bringing it back,” Denise Simmons, FHS Football Booster Club secretary, said. The booster club has a goal of $10,000 for the sale in hopes of putting the money towards areas such as training equipment, travel expenses and pre-game meals. “We just do things to make it better for the kids, make it first class … that’s what our booster organization is all about — making sure that we provide the best

The sale will take the place of the semi-annual gala the booster club previously organized in an effort to get the entire team involved with the fundraising. “Anytime you get the players and the parents together, it just helps keep the family environment and the comradery to do more than just hit each other on the football field,” Courtney said. “There is a lot of commitment to it [the team], but also a lot of life lessons and things where you build friendships and bonds for your whole life, so anything we can do to get the guys together, get the parents together, it just See BOOSTER on Page 2B

Full-time mom Kitrell is Muse director ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Ellie Kitrell is a Farragut mom of three boys ages 10 and younger. Although this qualifies as a full-time job to many, she makes time for one more fulltime job: serving as executive director for a non-profit children’s educational organization known as The Muse. The Muse brings together the growing concept of science, technology, engineering, art and math into one educational play center. What began as an interim position for Kitrell serving on a board to combine The Muse and the former East Tennessee Discovery Center became a full time volunteer position and gave her a new job title. Despite not having any background in science or teaching experience, Kitrell now runs a multi-platform organization that is centered around teaching children, parents, grandparents and even school teachers how to incorporate STEAM disciplines into everyday life. “I was always a little more intimidated by science, and I think that is one thing that has been a driver for us and our board is really figure out a way that we can engage [children] confidently so that they are not afraid,” Kitrell said.

It also offers birthday parties, field trip programs, community outreach events and professional development, incorporating part-time and former teachers well as more basic stuff such as socks and other kinds of necessity items,” Yin said. “Interact also donated $500 to [a pre-school] so they can give them a hot meal each day because a lot of times it’s the only meal they’re getting that day.”

The Muse plans on further developing an educational advisory committee of teachers from different areas and curriculums to help improve their professional development later this year. The Muse participates in thousands of local community out-

Their permanent location, 516 North Beaman Street, is open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., Saturday. “I know it seems like a far leap away from Farragut … but I don’t think it is that far.

Harkins and RCF member Tom Marsh were commended for their work in helping coordinate the golfing event, which raised $6,000 to fight polio worldwide. “That gets matched by the Gates Foundation,” Dan Hipsher, Immediate Past president of Knoxville Breakfast Rotary who also helped coordinate the event, said. “That’s the greatest blessing of all right there; we’re doing this for polio plus,” Fisher said. “If you happen to win that’s gratifying in itself, but that’s not the main reason” for the event. “You’ve got to give credit to more than the golfers. The members made it happen, really.” In addition to the teams playing for the Governor’s Cup, where each participant has to be club member for the team on which he is playing, eight other teams played solely to raise funds to fight polio (at least one member of each four-person team had to be a Rotarian). Hipsher and Fred Martin, a member of RCF polio plus committee, presented a check for $6,000 to Knowis during the ceremony.

New volunteers to serve Town

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Town of Farragut has been looking for volunteers to add alongside veteran members of its committees and boards. A handful of citizens have responded successfully. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen selected new members Shandy Dixon and Susan Suter, Carasso Farragut Arts Council; Holly Janney, Beautification Committee; Martha Cook, Museum Advisory Board; Tim Hill and Clark Brekke, Parks and Athletics Council; Wes Tankersley on Plumbing, Gas and Mechanical Committee; Edwin Anderson, Visual Resources Review Board; Tony Carasso, Carla Werner and Lee Wickman, School Liaison Committee, and Marie Meszaros, Stormwater Committee. “I hope to lend a helping hand,” Suter said about serving on the Arts Council. “When you have more people, you get more accomplished. You don’t put the burden on just a few people.” Suter said she was encouraged to volunteer for the Arts Council by Council member Sandy Dean. “ S h e thought I would be a good fit,” Dixon Suter said. D i x o n said her search for local art activities for her three children prompted her to get involved in the Council. She would like to help the Town get more art-related activities for Farragut youngsters, she said. The daughter of an artist, Dixon said she can bring a pas-
sion for the arts to the Council. Janney, who applied for the Beautification Committee, was a member of the Intro to Farragut Class of 2014. “[The Town] encouraged us to sign up for volunteer activity in the Town,” Janney said. She is a gardener, real estate agent and has judged landscaping competitions for area homeowners’ associations. “I hope to bring a new perspective to the committee,” Janney said. Another Intro to Farragut 2014 graduate, Martha Cook, chose to apply for Janney the Museum Advisory Committee. “I knew the very first time I saw the museum, I wanted to volunteer there, Cook, who taught at a St. Louis middle school for 30 years, said. In addition to her experience in education, C o o k minored in history at Arkansas S t a t e University. She also volunteers at Tennova Suter Medical Center and donates blood platelets to Medic. “I think it’s important for people to get involved in their community,” Cook said. Tony Carasso, who has been in the banking business for 25 years, brings his knowledge of finances and budgeting to the School Liaison Committee. He has a son who graduated from Farragut High School and another attending school in Farragut. “I have a vested interest in the schools,” he said.

Shrimp Dock’s dynamic duo ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
A father-son team, both disgruntled with work in a grocery store while itching to prove their vast knowledge of seafood, have teamed up since April 2008 to run the show at The Shrimp Dock’s Farragut location, 11124 Kingston Pike. Allen Shields, manager, and his son, Jeffrey Shields, assistant manager, found almost the perfect job working for owner Phil Dangel. “When I lived down in Florida [Altamont, near Orlando], I worked for a wholesale seafood company,” Allen, 60, said about his 19 years there. “I was the fresh fish processing manager, the [hazardous analysis and critical control points of the seafood industry] coordinator.” Jeffrey, 35, “is just as knowledgeable with the fish industry and cutting fish, so that on my days off he fits right in,” said Allen, who started out as a grocery store meat cutter and seafood manager “for about 19 years” before his wholesale seafood career. About working with Jeffrey, “I find it very rewarding because I know that, No. 1, he’s always got my back,” Allen said. “If something happens, he can fill right in for me and take care of whatever problem.” While Allen and wife, Sharon, moved to Knox County in 2006 from the Orlando metro area, Jeffrey is a former “factory trained technician for

Ford [Motor Co.]” who also moved to Knox County from the Orlando area (2007). He also became dissatisfied with a grocery job prior to The Shrimp Dock. “We never really worked together,” Jeffrey said. About the father-son chemistry, “We don’t have to talk about what we need to get done,” Jeffrey said. “But at the same time it gives us the freedom to say stuff to each other that you couldn’t say to a normal boss or a normal employee. You can be a lot more candid and get the point across quick.” The joys of Jeffrey’s job include “Introducing people who aren’t on the water to the different types of fish out there. … It’s always interesting when people come back and say, ‘That was really good, what else you got like that?’ I really enjoy that
part of it,” he said. Allen said he found The Shrimp Dock through an Internet search, and was hired as an assistant manager at The Shrimp Dock’s Bearden location in August 2007 before helping open the Farragut location. As for awards, “I won the trophy for the Taste of Farragut: Best in Taste for Restaurants … the first year that they started the trophies,” Allen said. “I love the clientele, the people down here, they are so friendly,” Allen added. “They’re also knowledgeable of the seafood industry. … I love being up front with them.” Allen said he “takes the lead” on giving cooking and preparation advice to all his customers. As for comparing skills, “He has more patience than I do,” Jeffrey said about Allen.
FARRAGUTPRESS THURSDAY, JULY 17, 2014 • 5B
I lost 50 pounds in one day! 5 decluttering questions to ask yourself Yesterday I crammed my big suitcase (the one that always weighs more than 50 pounds when I check it at the airport) with all the fall and winter clothes I hadn’t worn in the last year. Actually many of the garments hadn’t been worn in several years. If you haven’t worn a garment in the last year, what makes you think a year from now you will? Yes, I lost 50 pounds of clothing that was Pam c l o g g i n g Young my closet, Make it and when I Fun! dropped the contents of my suitcase off at Goodwill, I felt 50 pounds lighter spiritually! Whew! I always say that clutter is the biggest destroyer of peace, and decluttering closets, cupboards and drawers brings a peace that money can’t buy! About half the stuff I’d packed in that suitcase, was just not me anymore. Like the linen, Kasper suit, that has beautiful classic lines that don’t go out of style, but it just didn’t fit my style anymore. (I was tickled it still fit my body!) I bought it at least 20 years ago as a speech suit and I probably spoke in it 25 times. Today when I speak, I wear casual clothes. One dress that went in the suitcase, I’d bought to wear to a big deal occasion several years back. My good friend Marla Cilley, the Flylady, had invited me to speak at an event put on by Yahoo to celebrate Flylady’s reaching 500,000 Flybabies through email. I think I got too excited about the affair, because the dress was more like something you’d wear if you were
a queen at your coronation. As I was packing that suitcase, knowing all this was going to Goodwill, I asked some great questions of myself and I thought it might help you if I shared the questions and my answers. 1. Has my lifestyle changed since I wore this? In the case of the linen suit, my answer was “yes.” I have a basic black dress in a polished-cotton that I can scarf up or down, (sparkly scarves for evening, pastels for spring and summer, red for winter and orange for fall). I also quit wearing 4” heels when I speak (I always ended up kicking them off mid speech anyway). 2. How long has it been since I last wore this? A good test of this is to put the garment on and go show your husband. As you model it for him, if he gets a confused look on his face and asks, “Is that new?” you’ll know it’s been too long since you’ve worn it and probably means you never really liked it in the first place. 3. Why have I kept this so long when I never wear it? I had to ask this one a lot as I handled each garment that ultimately ended up in the suitcase. The answer that kept surfacing was: ‘It was on sale and for that price I couldn’t pass it up even if it was too small. And besides I always wanted to be a size six like Molly Cutter (a high school cheerleader who was so cute and petite). And even though I never have been (and never will be) a size six, I’m an eternal optimist.’ When I heard myself use that cockamamie excuse, I knew I’d reached that point that it was time to admit, I’m a size eight and that’s just fine with me. 4. What if I regret giving this up? This question came directly from Nelly, my inner child.
“Hi Nelly, you mean what if I become a size six like Molly Cutter and I want the dress back?” “Yeah, and it’ll be gone and we’ll be sad.” “Nelly if I somehow become a size six, it’ll probably be because I’m very sick and all I’ll need are size six pajamas.” As we grow older, we can still carry dreams or remnants of dreams we had when we were young. But thank goodness, our dreams can change and as they do, there is a peace that comes when we let go of dreams we’ve outgrown. Looking at that size six dress I’d never worn, I saw what
power that garment had in holding me to a dream I’d outgrown. So ultimately my answer to the question, “What if I regret giving this up?” was, I won’t. 5. How will streamlining my closet help me be happier? Clutter causes stress and stress saps energy. I’m a living breathing believer that the less stuff I have the more peace I have. By streamlining my closet, I have given myself the gift of happy dressing every morning. I feel like I have a new closet and a new wardrobe. I read somewhere that women wear 20% of their clothes 80% of the time. I’ve
just allowed myself to wear 100% of my clothes 100% of the time! Thank you for reading my blog! I hope I’ve inspired you to lose at least 50 pounds today and I hope you brag to your friends that you did. I believe clutter is one of the biggest sources of stress in our society. It saps our energy and raids our hearts of the natural peace we are meant to have. Peace To see what Pam’s got up her cyber-sleeve, check out www.cluborganized.com. Want to get organized?

Manning ‘relaxed’ about FDCC fundraising tourney ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Scott Moran seems to have a read on Peyton Manning’s feel for Fox Den Country Club. “Seems like every single year that I’ve gotten to meet him and know him that he’s more and more relaxed knowing that everything is run to a T,” Moran, head PGA Professional at FDCC, said about Manning’s annual presence at Peyton Manning GolfClassic, benefiting East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and Manning’s PeyBack Foundation. “By him being here they raise so much money.” Manning, considered by most experts one of the all-time great NFL quarterbacks and a former Tennessee Volunteers All-American in the mid-to-late 1990s, brought his 17th annual event to FDCC for the seventh consecutive year Monday morning, June 23. Ceremonially teeing off with each golfing group at No. 6 hole, Manning said he recog-
nized several local participants who are “friends of mine.” “These folks have played in this tournament just about every year,” Manning added. “… I appreciate their support of this golf tournament and their support of the foundation and the Children’s hospital. …” “This is something I look forward to every year on the calendar around this time, the third week in June. Back to a place that I love very much.” More than 200 golfers representing dozens of sponsors participated in this 18-hole fundraiser, which raised roughly $150,000 last year that is annually split between ETCH and PeyBack, Erica Estep, ETCH public relations manager, said. “Knoxville has been so good to me, and that’s kind of what the PeyBack Foundation is all about: paying back to the communities that have impacted me,” Manning said about keeping PeyBack funds local to help Knox County and East Tennessee programs “that
are helping out kids who don’t have life easy.” Manning, a former Indianapolis Colts All-Pro quarterback — where he captured one Super Bowl victory — who is approaching his third season with the Denver Broncos, also spoke about the upcoming season. However, looking back, “I think when you play football here at The University of Tennessee you are a Tennessean from that point on,” Manning, a Heisman Trophy runner-up in 1998, said. “… I married a Tennessee girl and I have strong ties to the state and the residents in Tennessee.” Manning said he and Butch Jones, UT Football head coach, “Communicate pretty often throughout the season. … He’s done a good job of keeping me updated about what’s going on.” While saying Jones “is extremely organized,” Manning pointed out he “likes being a resource” for UT Football if Jones “wants me to share anything.”
HVA’s Rowcliffe on OR nuclear clean-up board

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
One student from Hardin Valley Academy and Oak Ridge High School is selected annually to join Oak Ridge Site Selection Advisory Board. It’s mostly a learning experience for a bright, science-driven student about all the aspects of nuclear waste clean up in Oak Ridge. Rowcliffe However, “One of [the students] got us on Facebook, which really expanded our coverage,” Dave Hemelright, ORSSAB chair, said about one example of how students give back to the board. Rising HVA senior Claire Rowcliffe, STEM Academy, was chosen by faculty to serve the 2014-15 term (from May 2014 through April 2015). “We kind of ask our top level students. … She was one who vol-
unteered to participate. She was interested in those biological, life, environmental-type sciences,” Rudy Furman, HVA STEM Academy dean, said. “… She’s a very strong student. … She’s in the top of her class. She is an Honors AP student.” “We try to offer it to the seniors first, but if there are no seniors that are interested in that … maybe a rising junior who’d like to take it,” he added. “… We’ve had a student on the board for the last four or five years.” The experience “gives them a greater sense of community,” Furman said. “It gives them an understanding of historical aspects of things that have gone on, and that the things we do now affect our community and our surroundings for years to come. “Because that’s one of the things that board works on, is site specific clean ups of areas in Oak Ridge that were used during the inception of the City of Oak Ridge during wartime efforts,” Furman added. “… It’s good for them to have a voice, kind of what they would

Hemelright said. “It also gives them an understanding of the magnitude of the clean up. This is all legacy waste from the Cold War and World War II. We don’t clean up stuff that’s been made and manufactured since about 1980 and on. That’s all done by the generators now.” As for value gained from a student’s experience on ORSSAB, “Understanding stewardship, care of the land, care of the environment,” Hemelright said. “How to protect it, what steps need to be done to protect it from future damage. “We do presentations at every one of our board meetings on something very pertinent to the clean up at the Oak Ridge reservation, such as true waste mercury clean up that we’re trying to put in place. Groundwater transfer,” he added. However, “We don’t have any areas that are really unsafe on the reservation at this point,” Hemelright said. “Pretty much all the dangerous stuff has been contained and corralled.” The board is made up of 22 full-time members in addition to the two students who each serve from May of their junior years through April of their senior years. As for creating the two student ORSSAB positions “a few years ago,” Hemelright said Tim Myrick, former board member, “Was involved with the schools
and with the students and thought it would be a good idea and pursued it. “We tried to rotate many local high schools but pretty much settled on Oak Ridge, because it’s right here in town, and on Hardin Valley because of it’s proximity to Oak Ridge and Knoxville and to science interest at Hardin Valley,” he added. Corkie Staley, former Oak Ridge City Schools teacher and current board member, serves as the student representatives’ mentor, Hemelright said. Moreover, “I make a point of trying to talk to both student reps when they come in to each meeting,” he added. “The student reps do play an important part. They are assigned the public comment period. That means if you wanted to come to the meeting and you signed up to speak, they will announce the public comment period is open” and take charge of that segment of the meeting. Student reps “are allowed to participate as much as they want. They can ask any questions,” Hemelright said. “The only thing they do not have is a vote on recommendations.” As for ORSSAB committees, Hemelright said student reps are encouraged to join the “Environmental Management and Stewardship Committee,” which “helps establish a priority of programs as to where we want to emphasize our clean up. “And then after it’s cleaned up, the stewardship: ‘what are we
going to do with the property afterwards? How are we going to keep people from getting hurt? How clean is it? What are the con-
straints? Are we going to have to fence it … how do we keep it clean?’” Hemelright added. Meetings, which take place
on the second Wednesday of each month, are held at the Department of Energy Information Center.

Ward, accepted into ETSU Pharmacy program, credits FHS teachers
■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Lauren Ward, a Farragut High School Class of 2010 graduate, is one of two students from this year’s graduating class at Maryville College to be accepted into pharmacy school and will begin East Tennessee State University Bill Gatton School of Pharmacy’s four-year program in August. Ward’s decision for majoring in biochemistry and doing the prepharmacy track was an obvious
choice for her, though, thanks to her high school chemistry teachers. “[Amanda] Wehner and [Kristin] Baksa I had for Intro to Chem, as well as [advanced placement] chem, and she was just so excited, and she explained it so well … most people just lose interest in chemistry so easily, and she just related it to stuff and had such enthusiasm for the subject … she was just a great teacher,” Ward said. Ward thinks just as highly about her entire FHS education.
“I think teachers at Farragut typically do help a lot, especially in the scie n c e department … we also have the access to AP courses, which other high schools and other Ward students do not have the opportunity to, and I think that definitely helped me decide that I wanted to pursue
science,” Ward added. Ward excelled in science and varsity soccer at FHS, two commitments helped her by “definitely learning how to manage time and manage stress.” Her former soccer coach and teachers were not surprised by her accomplishments. “It’s really easy to teach students like her who are willing to put themselves out there, who are willing to take a difficult course and stick with it and look far enough ahead to know that it is going to prepare them for their
studies ahead,” Baksa said. “I knew she did very well academically, and I expected her to be that successful,” Dennis Lindsay, Ward’s FHS soccer head coach, said. Ward attended Maryville College and played soccer but suffered a career-ending injury during her senior year. Despite the setback, Ward maintained her work ethic and focused on her academic goals while undergoing intensive physical therapy. See WARD on Page 10B
NJROTC cadets Allen, Bui rise to Academy challenge ■ ALAN SLOAN

Many times when successdriven teenagers face challenges, they enter them with overconfidence only to come away humbled by the difficulty and anguish. For Conner Bui, Farragut High School rising sophomore and a cadet with FHS Navy Junior ROTC, the opposite seemed to apply. Roughly a week before NJROTC Area 9 Leadership Academy camp June 26-29 in Greeneville, Bui said, “I kinda just want to get it over with.” A little more than a week after the camp, Bui reflected on his experience. “It wasn’t really tough; it was more relaxing and fun,” he said. “I met new cadets. I basically stayed outside, trying not to draw attention to myself. “I thought they were going to yell at us more and make us do hard [physical training],” Bui, who ran a “personal best” 6minute-16-second mile at the camp, added. “But PT worked out in two days. There wasn’t that much yelling at us.” As for what he learned, Bui said, “I’ve noticed that I’ve been respecting, like, more proper authority, like upperclass[men] authority. And I’ve noticed me taking the initiative in doing stuff. And being a better person in general.”
Cmdr. Kevin Smathers, FHS NJROTC Senior Naval Science instructor, said Bui was chosen to participate despite his youth — most participants are rising juniors or seniors — “because he has such leadership potential. He’s been such a great part of the unit. “Last year, as a freshman, he did an incredible number of Color Guards and he volunteered so many times,” Smathers added. “… I think it’s good to get him there early and kind of cultivate some of those skills before somebody else snatches him up.” Cadet Grant Allen, a rising FHS NJROTC senior, was chosen as a cadre at the Academy — a student instructor — by the school’s Naval Science instructors “because I’m an [NJROTC] officer and I’ve been to Leadership Academy before,” he said. Looking back on the summer of 2012 as a 15-year-old at the academy, Allen recalled a quite different experience versus Bui. “Everything was moving so fast-paced, kind of like it was boot camp. You’ve got one guy yelling over here and another guy yelling over there,” he said. “… It’s just a lot going on at once. You never really found yourself catching any down time. “It was either working on your uniform or shining your shoes or working on your bed,” he added.

Byrd tragedy reignites with lost-at-sea news ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Real life tragedies at sea, such as the Malaysian jet that’s been missing since March 8, reignite horrible memories for Liz Byrd of Farragut. Movies based on real life tragedies at sea, such as “Open Water” where a scuba diving couple is accidentally abandoned by their group while still in the water, are beyond what Byrd can take. “I refuse to even go see that. … When there’s couples missing at sea, it brings back all those memories and what the families are going through,” said Byrd, whose parents, Ben and Carol Walters of Winter Park, Fla., were lost at sea while sailing in the Caribbean in February 1983 — from the Bahama Islands to the Dominican Republic — as guests on a 42-foot sailboat with Gerald and Dottie Gay. No bodies, personal items or trace of their sailboat has ever been discovered by authorities — despite a “six-day dawn-todusk” search — or anyone else who has publicly come forward. A follow-up search privately funded by the Byrds also came up empty. “I don’t want to think about what probably happened to them,” added Byrd, who has endured her tragedy alongside husband, Barry Byrd, for more than 31 years. Liz Byrd recalled a relative of her husband, who was a Miami policeman, saying, “‘Most of the time if it’s pirates they don’t even kill them, they just dump them in the water and let the sharks eat them.’
“I’ve never been able to get that out of my mind,” she added. “I wish he had never said that.” However, with the Gays having stored weapons on board their sailboat according to the Byrds, “At least it maybe was quick,” Liz Byrd added about the possibility of murder with weapons. But a comforting thought for Liz Byrd trumps all the horrible speculation. “I know that my parents had just become Christians. … They found the Lord a couple of years right before they went missing,” she said. “They were very involved in Bible studies in their church. And their church had gone to the Holy Land and they had gotten baptized in the Jordan River right before they disappeared. “I do have a lot of peace now where they are,” Liz Byrd added. “And I know I’ll see them one day.” In the days, weeks and months following the couples’ disappearance in mid-February 1983, “We had our own personal contact person with the State Department, and they would call me frequently and tell me if they were making progress or what was going on,” Barry Byrd said. Liz Byrd said state political leaders informed family members soon after the disappearance, “President [Ronald] Reagan’s aware of it.” A sailboat radio limited to a 25mile range may have prevented a successful distress call, Liz Byrd said, adding her parents’ tragedy caused passage of new Florida state laws requiring longer radio range.
