Neighborhood asks for 4-way stop ■
Dan Barile
Residents of Steeplechase subdivision said they believe the intersection created with the opening of the Watt Road extension has created the need for a 4-way stop.
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Fearing an undesired increase in traffic along Old Stage Road, Steeplechase subdivision’s 33 households have overwhelming been against the Watt Road extension according to Sherman Patterson, homeowners association treasurer and spokesman. To make the best of an unwanted intersection where Steeplechase’s Old Stage entrance lines up with the new extension, the vast majority of Steeplechase residents, Patterson added, would like to see a four-way stop there. “Everybody I talk to does,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of older people living here, and it was a danger going out the back side when we had to go out that way, because you can’t see on Dixon Road when you go out the back entrance.” “My guess is it would not be warranted for a multi-way stop,” Darryl Smith, Town engineer, said about the two roads not having enough traffic volume. “We would probably take a look at it with just one citizen coming forward.
“Anytime someone puts out what they believe is a safety issue, we’ll take a look at it,” Smith added. “Right now I would recommend, though, that we wait until traffic patterns get kind of stabilized … I would guess about six months” from the time it opened July 1. As of mid-July, “There are a lot of people that still aren’t aware that that route is open,” Smith said. “And once school starts, traffic patterns change a little bit.” Patterson said he would welcome a traffic count evaluation by Smith and the Town if it would help bring about the fourway stop. As the subdivision’s first ever resident (since 1982) who lives close to the intersection, Patterson said he recently made an observation: “most of the cars” coming off Watt Road extension to Old Stage “go toward Loudon County. It’s a good cut through for Loudon County [drivers], they don’t have to go through the traffic lights.” Motorists could avoid a pair of Kingston Pike traffic signals, at See 4-WAY on Page 3A
Three seek District 7 state senate seat ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Mike Alford said he’s more in tune with transportation growth for Knox County, which means long-time economic growth, versus District 7 State Sen. Stacey Campfield or challenger Dr. Richard Briggs. Yet among these three Republican candidates for District 7 state senate, Alford admitted he needs to learn more about the state’s mounting TennCare cost and coverage problems. “I’m a little outside the box as far as everything that’s been going on,” said Alford, 53, a tour bus driver from West Knoxville,
and former engineer, who has never held elected office. He lost the 2006 District 4 race for Knox County Commission. However, “I’m a clear, openminded individual that will listen to the constituents and listen to the state legislature of what’s going on, and decide from there,” Alford added. “I have patience, I read a lot and I listen.” While stating he is “friends with Stacey, I agree with him on a lot of issues,” Alford emphasized that one of his motivations to run concerns transportation infrastructure. “Knoxville needs to grow,” Alford said, adding he was in favor of the proposed Interstate
routes that would have completely bypassed Knoxville, w h i c h included the “Orange” and “Blue” routes, before the plan was killed a few years ago. “I think Alford the I-40/I-75 corridor is due another expansion. … I think it’s due to happen if Knoxville is going to bring in any kind of commercial development,” Alford added. Concerning the state’s TennCare challenge to cover its poor-
est citizens, Campfield said the problem is much more due to “more a mix of management issues mixed with bad lawsuit decisions and federal regulations on top.” As for his Campfield possible solutions, Campfield said former Gov. Phil Bredesen failed to reduce mounting TennCare expenses “with his plan of surgical strategic cuts. … A few months in even he realized it wasn’t workable at all and ended up having to do
cuts with a hatchet. It was painful. “ T h e ObamaCare Medicaid expansion money just sets us back up on that p a t h , ” Campfield added about Briggs T h e Affordable Healthcare Act. “That’s one of the reasons I am so against it. I know it’s just the federal government trying to give us a hand grenade with no pin.” Briggs, a cardio thoracic heart See SENATE on Page 2A
FMPC approves zone change to Villas ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Saddlebrook Properties, LLC, the new developers wanting to buy and develop Villas at Anchor Park, have received approval for the Villas’ zone to be changed from attached single-family residential to open space mixed residential overlay, which would allow detached dwellings. Farragut Municipal Planning Commission voted unanimously to allow the zoning change during its meeting Thursday, July 17. Mark Shipley, Farragut Community Development direc-
tor, said the final plat included 35 units on 11 acres. The units were platted as duplexes or attached single-family dwellings. Only one building was constructed, he added. However, because of the changing market the current property owners, McBride Company, want to sell the development to Saddlebrook Properties, LLC, which wants to build detached dwellings. The only other zoning district that type of development falls under is R-1 OSMR, Shipley said, adding the development would be similar to the Cottages at
LEANNA FARRINGTON TRACT R CON UNDE
Pryse Farm. He added he thinks the amendment is compatible with the land use plan. “What they are requesting is instead of 99 units, there would be 62 units and they are increasing the open space,” Shipley said. “That would be a net positive, and the staff recommended approval,” he said. “I remember we talked about the traffic,” Rita Holladay, Commission chairman, said. Shipley said the amendment would reduce the density. On another matter, the Commission went over a draft of proposed amendments Shipley’s

staff made to the Town’s regulations on multi-family dwellings. Although commissioners took no formal vote on the changes, many received a nod of approval. This follows a three-hour tour commissioners took Wednesday, July 9, of developments and buffer strips in and around Town. Holladay said, “The consensus of folks felt it was helpful to see these [developments] up close since we decided to do something [with the ordinance].” The biggest changes were to lessen some setback and buffer strip requirements, as well as adding new requirements to
encourage developers to build parking spaces and other noisy elements away from other residential developments. An example of one proposed change reads units positioned along the side or rear property line would have a setback of 35 feet instead of the current 50 feet. The proposed draft also: • Allows a landscape design in a front yard instead of a buffer strip, • Eliminates the maximum lot size, which is currently 15 acres, • Requires a maximum overall density to not exceed 12 units per acre.

surgeon and current 5th District Knox County commissioner, said, “I think the most immediate likelihood to get something done is that the federal government needs to give Tennessee a waiver so we can get a block grant so we can get some of these people covered. … To buy insurance on the private market. “… And you have to have some personal responsibility on the part of TennCare recipients. The part of TennCare that’s costing the state the most deals with the cost of drugs,” he added. “… The TennCare program would pay for the five most expensive drugs, and the patient would be responsible for the others. … The state would pay for rare cases” where more than five expensive drugs were needed.

Some new faces will be seen this year on some of the Town’s committees and boards joining present members. Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen appointed the members during its Thursday, June 12, meeting, and approved its 2014-2015 budget as well. Before the meeting, Board members discussed the appointments in a workshop. “You have folks who have put in a lot of years who could be offended if not chosen, and at the same time, you have new ones,” Alderman Ron Honken said. “I think it would be worthwhile to expand a couple of these boards.” Honken said since several of the new candidates for the boards were recent graduates of the Intro to Farragut program, he thought they should be placed on a committee or board. However, Alderman Jeff Elliott said while choosing is a challenge, the Board cannot keep expanding committee sizes. The Board did agree to extend the Beautification Committee size.
The following appointments were made: • Farragut Arts Council — Beverley Hammon, Nancy Wentz, Pamela Ziegler, Sandy Garber, Shandy Dixon and Susan Suter • Beautification Committee — Marty Rodgers, Marie Leonard, Betty Scott, Barbara Allman, Jeanie Stow and Holley Janney • Museum Advisory Board — Jack Haines, Doris Henning, Loretta Bradley, Jack Bondurant, Joyce Moran and Martha Cook • Parks and Athletics Council — Michael Peters, Nadia Kogeler, Pat Sloan, Tim Hill and Clark Brekke • Board of Zoning Appeals — Keith Alley • Plumbing, Gas and Mechanical — Chris Buncan, Nicholas Moskal and Wes Tankersley. • Visual Resources Review Board — Brittany Moore, Duane Winkler and Edwin Anderson. • Personnel Committee — Robert Pollock, Debby Wright and Drew Carson. • School Liaison Committee — Tony Carasso, Kelly Darden, Carla Werner and Lee Wickman. • Stormwater — Debbie Fraser, Valerie McFall, Kenneth

Hawkins and Marie Meszaros. The Board also voted unanimously to approve the Town’s FY 2014-15 budget on second and final reading. Town administrator David Smoak said the proposed budget is balanced and includes three changes the Board approved on first reading last month: • Reduce the proposed employee merit package from 3 to 2 percent, a $27,562 change • Provide no increase to health insurance • Increase the Town’s contribution to the News Sentinel Golf Tournament from $16,500 to $20,000. The Board also approved an increase for a stormwater infrastructure analysis of $50,000. See BOMA on Page 3A

es from 1995 to 2006 where all drug costs, regardless of cost, were covered. “The cost of drugs had escalated so much it was taking 40 percent of the sate budget,” he said, adding that a new program must give TennCare recipients incentive to choose cheaper yet still effective drugs. “In Tennessee, do we want to raise the sales tax to 12 or 15 percent to pay for some of this? I don’t think so,” Briggs said. As for cutting the budget to make room for TennCare expansion, “Thirty to 31 percent of the state budget is TennCare. The next largest is education. Do we want to take $200 million a year out of education? … It means that we would have to fire 4,000 teachers [if their average income were $50,000 a year],” Briggs added. “We don’t want to do that.”

presstalk@farragutpress.com • I think Farragut should stick to [its] guns on [its] sign ordinance. The reason Farragut is such a nice community is because there are not a lot of random signs all over Town like Pigeon Forge for example. Businesses want to cash in on the wealth of doing business in the community, but don’t like following the rules that make the community a great place to live and bring the wealthy people into the area. I purposefully do not frequent businesses [that] in bad taste post their signs illegally throughout the community. I just wish Knox County had such a strict sign ordinance. • Had to laugh at the flower guy and his wife complaining about the Farragut sign ordinance. The story said the guy drove past a rodeo sign on his way to Town Hall that was illegal. The only rodeo sign I have seen is the one on Northshore Drive near the YMCA. That area is in Knox County and isn’t in Farragut. Wish these people would learn their geography before opening mouth and inserting foot. • No other expression but flabbergasted can cover my emotions of being continually amazed by the poor drivers in the [United] States but mainly I’m concerned with the ones right here in Farragut. Leaving the beautiful [Ingles] Market that sits just to the left of the farragutpress offices I watched the other day as a woman in a very nice new midsized shiny SUV-type vehicle climbed in putting her car in reverse and not once turned her noggin back to see who or what might be behind her as she proceeds to back out, not a clue that a young driver directly behind her in a smaller vehicle is also backing out, I might clarify that the younger driver was 75 percent out of her parking slot when Miss SUV began her outing, some other driver began to honk their horn in the hopes of alerting one of the drivers to stop, look and listen at what might be going on. Of course the very much younger driver saw what was happening as she indeed had been looking back like a
good little driver and also began to honk her horn no doubt hoping that she would not be struck broadside by Miss SUV, finally the midlife woman stepped on her brakes, mind you never once bothering to turn her head to see what was going on, there I sit totally in amazement over a near accident, which was averted by the kindness of a third driver. Miss SUV seeing in her mirror that the younger driver had left the immediate area began again to back up, never turning her head again!!! WOW LADY ... Uh, uh, she is just relying too heavily on her review camera to do all the work for her or she is just plan arrogant thinking she has the right of way no matter that she does not. I say you better learn to stop being so lazy and take a few minutes to turn your stiff midlife neck around and see if the coast is clear, or just stop driving altogether if you can’t better your skills. I have long ago learned to park on the outskirts of the lot rain or shine, hot or cold, just to avoid just such lame people who believe they can do no wrong. Sad situation how selfish Americans have become even here in [the] little town Farragut. Wonder who of you reading this is guilty of just this type of driving no-no? • I am glad to hear that the Town is going to stabilize the cut slope along Turkey Creek Road that has failed multiple times over the years. As it is too late to complete the job before start of the 2014-2015 school year, I do hope the planned 28-day closure will occur in the summer of 2015 to minimize the impact on school traffic for the hundreds of families that live west of the planned road closure. Editor’s Note: According to Town spokesperson Chelsey Riemann, the project has to be completed this year. The Town does not have a firm date set with the contractor, but the project is to be completed by Oct. 31. Once a start date is given by the contractor, the contractor will have 42 days to complete all work, and the Town will allow full closure of Turkey Creek Road for a period not to exceed 28 days. Motorists
Johns picks Markli, Williams, Zachary Per the upcoming Town of Farragut elections, I would strongly advise based on their business sales experience, entrepreneurial know how, and community volunteerism that voters support Bob Markli for re-election for the Farragut — North and Ron Williams for election for the Farragut — South. It is also my hope that the Town of Farragut will migrate soon in the future from a “districting election” (North, South) to a “position election” (Alderman 1, Alderman 2, etc.) which most benchmark communities have. Specifically, all town of Farragut residents should have the opportunity to vote on ALL of its elected representatives who have fiduciary and leadership authority over the community. Per the Tennessee District 2 House of Representatives election, I am supporting and voting for Mr. Jason Zachary. Mr. Zachary is exactly what we need for our region representing entrepreneurs and families. Rep. Jimmy Duncan is out of touch with the values and wishes of our district. Most importantly, I believe 50 years of public service of any political family exceeds the vision of our country’s founding fathers as described in the good faith purpose of Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which was also created as a direct response to England and its royal monarchies.
Per the renewal of the Redflex camera contract, I consult and am very knowledgeable in the transportation and supply chain software industry. I would professionally advise the town of Farragut in canceling the Redflex contract as Oak Ridge and many other communities have recently decided to do so. With the recent unethical and fiduciary conduct by its U.S. Redflex executives and continuous challenges to its technology and business practices, the town of Farragut should quickly move away from this company. Simply, the bribery and “kick back” schemes to public administrators and elected officials that has been in the recent news in other communities is calling into question many of Redflex’s existing contracts and relationships. Likewise, with recent rulings against Redflex’s core technologies and algorithms, I believe the TOF should distance itself from such company by not renewing or pursuing any traffic camera (or future drone camera) contracts. With the potential of a revenue short fall for the TOF from the traffic cameras, I believe there are plenty of other economic development opportunities to harvest business and Sales Tax dollars just as much as there are opportunities in slowing down the community’s spending spree. Bill Johns, MBA, MPA Farragut
Introducing Ron Williams Good morning Farragut, Allow me to introduce myself to the folks who I have not met. I am Ron Williams, a Farragut resident for the past 20 years who is running for Ward 2 Alderman. Due to limited space I will not make a list of past accomplishments but instead just a few words of greeting. I was born and raised in Knoxville where I attended old Central High and The University of Tennessee. I am a senior sales and application engineer for a family-owned machine tool manufacturer in St. Louis, Mo. For the past 27 years I have worked out of my home office traveling all over the Southeast advising manufacturers on how to work smarter. In my spare time I have served as a director on four different neighborhood boards with the goal of improving our common areas and growing our amenities. I currently serve on the Farragut Board of Zoning Appeals. My goal in this position has been to take a common sense view and be the voice of reason. I hope to do the same if elected as a Ward 2 Alderman. During my brief campaign I have not accepted any donations and I am not tied to any special interest group. I look forward to meeting more of my neighbors in the future and would appreciate your vote in the upcoming election. Ron Williams Farragut
will be informed at both ends of Turkey Creek Road that the roadway is closed to thru traffic. Anyone approaching the road closures will be able to turn around on subdivision streets at the closure points. The Town does not plan to assign a designated detour route, as most traffic on this road is local. The Town will receive a 14-day advance notice from the contractor of any road closure so it can adequately inform the public. • Shocked and saddened to learn that Mike Reynolds is going to be replaced as principal at Farragut High School. He has done so much to improve the school. He has fought for our
teachers, our students, for our honors classes and for all of the programs that we have. I cannot image what has gone on that has resulted in his being removed from the school. The message that [Knox County Schools] sent out [Monday, July 14] was very sad. It’s quite obvious this was not his choice. Not sure where he will be going, but all I can say is best wishes to him and thanks for all that you have done to make Farragut High School one of the top schools in the country, period. Editor’s Note: Michael Reynolds has been assigned to the principal position at Central High School in Knoxville as was published in
our Thursday, July 17, issue. Knox County Schools has not advised farragutpress of his replacement. • I’d like to ask the town of Farragut how they can mill Virtue Road and leave large bumps in the road without putting any construction signs, any warning signs, any notification signs at all up on either end of that construction project. • I’m calling to say how grateful I am that they have put a sidewalk in front of Hardee’s. Now I can walk to get my double cheeseburger.

In their home pool, Sugarwood Stingrays capped off a special League 3 season (Greater Knoxville Area Interclub Swimming Association) Thursday evening, July 17. Finishing a perfect season at 5-0 Thursday after “our biggest win of the season” by defeating Holston Hills, Sugarwood locked up the program's first league crown “in 10 years,” first-year head coach Ben Whiteside said. One-hundred-seventy swimmers ages 5 to 18 have contributed to the Stingrays' success. “Everything we've been working on all summer is really coming together,” said Whiteside, also praising the coaching of assistants Will Trusler and Brianne Geist. Despite several years coaching in GKAISA, “I truly believe that this is the best team to be a part of in Knoxville [area],” Whiteside said. “It's about having fun, it's about relationships and it's about improving, not just
as swimmers but as people, in a fun atmosphere. “Sugarwood understands that,” Whiteside added, praising team president Chet Carbaugh plus “all the officials and parents and swimmers. They have their priorities straight, in my opinion. … The fact that we ended up going undefeated this season is just icing on the cake.” Five “senior” swimmers finishing their final year of eligibility “have really stepped up and led the team,” Whiteside said of Trey Barrett, Madison Gump, Erica Heilbronn, Emma Walker and Aaron Benorgen. “Not just in terms of cheers and helping with practice and at meets, but also in terms of setting a good example of character for the younger swimmers,” he added. Looking ahead to 2014 GKAISA Championship Swim Meet this weekend in The University of Tennessee’s Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center, “I expect big things from Sugarwood at City Meet,” Whiteside said. “We are taking 92 swimmers.”

One thing different about Elizabeth Keeling winning Fox Den Ladies 18-Hole Club Championship was the celebration: she had to settle for Sprite instead of the customary champagne. “It's a nice accomplishment, and it was also a fun one to go about getting because the ladies there are so nice,” said Keeling, a 17-year-old rising senior at Farragut High School and one of the FHS Lady Admirals’ top golfers, who won this year’s 18-Hole Club Championship Flight match play showdown versus defending champ Catherine Manning, 5 & 4, Thursday afternoon, July 17. “I was just hitting greens, which always helps because it gives you birdie opportunities,” Keeling added about her keys to success against Manning. “And even if I wasn't making birdies I was consistently mak-

ing pars. … My iron play was good. It all kind of came together.” A member of Fox Den Country Club “for a couple of years” who played in her first 18-Hole Club Championship, Keeling's win culminated a three-day event among an eight-player Championship Flight field that began Tuesday, July 15. Other first-place awards were: First Flight, Kathy Jackson won by default versus Karen Jones.
Second Flight, Donna Farinella defeated Janet Green in 19 holes. Keeling’s semifinal match Wednesday, July 16, against Carolyn Levy was a test of this teenager's short memory. Lipping out an 8-foot putt at No 18 that would have won the match, “You've still got more golf to play so you can't be too down on yourself,” she said. Keeling bounced back to birdie sudden death playoff hole No. 1, a par 5 — nailing a 5-foot putt. “I was able to cut a corner [dogleg hole] and get on in two,” Keeling said. Keeling defeated Carole Hornstra, her final round caddie, 8 & 7, in the opening round July 15. Other results: Championship Consolation Flight, Linda Trotter defeated Julie Natale in 20 holes. First Flight Consolation, Jamie Knowling beat Kaye Doty 5 & 4. Second Flight Consolation, Betty Dick defeated Grace Mutz 5 & 3.

3 Minute Magic Carwash coming to Farragut ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
A new 3 Minute Magic Carwash, 11133 Kingston Pike in Farragut, is expected to open after Christmas. “We’re excited to bring it to the Farragut area,” Jim Rooney, 3 Minute president, said. “It’s going to take approximately 120 days once we start construction,” Rooney added. “Fortunately, we’ve had a lot of support from the town of Farragut and the Town leaders.” The new site “will include 7,000 square feet,” Rooney said. It will have 13 free vacuum stalls and 14 full-service spaces and a detail shop. The Farragut site will be 3 Minute Magic Carwash’s fourth location. The other sites are 300 Simmons Road off Lovell Road; 956 Highway 321 North, Lenoir City; and 4725 N. Broadway St., Fountain City. “The Farragut car wash will probably be the coolest we’ve ever built,” Rooney said. “We’ve been dying to get a facility open in Farragut for years,” he said. With the Farragut site, Rooney
said they changed their approach from the other sites and added flexible service, which gives customers the option of choosing just the exterior car washing or the exterior and interior cleaning. “Full service basically is thought of as us going inside your vehicle and cleaning it out for you,” he said. “The customer exits the vehicle and waits in a nice, modern, comfortable lobby, and then we take care of the rest of the vehicle for you in eight minutes or less. “So, Farragut is going to be the first facility in our organization, as well as the first facility in the greater Knoxville market, to offer flexible service,” he said. The car washing business was a natural extension of National Detailers Incorporated Group, a mobile detailing business Rooney and his wife, Teri, formed in 1997. “Teri and I started back in 1997 in Farragut in our living room in Sugarwood.” Rooney said. Before that, Rooney spent 12 years as a district manager with Chrysler Corporation. “We had an idea and two years later we realized it was going to

work, so we looked into offices here in this complex and 17 years later, we’re still doing it.” Today, NDI Group is one of the largest mobile detailing companies at every new auto show all
across the United States and Canada, Rooney said. Beginning July 22, Rooney took on an additional role as president of the Southeastern Car Wash Association, which incorporates
11 states, 16 facilities. For more information about 3 Minute Magic Carwash, go to the business’s website at www.3minutemagiccarwash.com.

Gina Owen, left, owner of Gina’s Bernina Sewing Center, and Kathy Drew, nationally known embroidery designer, quilter and instructor, work with one of the Bernina sewing machines available at Owen’s dealership.
For 33 years, Gina’s Bernina Sewing Center has been providing sewing classes, Swiss Bernina sewing machines and more to the Farragut community. Gina Owen, owner of the sewing center, said she is beginning renovations to expand her store at 10816 Kingston Pike, Farragut, adding more square footage for sales and classroom space and a new technician department. “We are starting right away, and we hope to have a grand opening the first of October,” she said. Gina’s Bernina is a dealership for Bernina sewing machines and their accessories. It also offers sewing and quilting classes, more than 5,000 bolts of fabrics, embroidery and children’s clothing supplies, patterns and more. “We have a selection of all the notions and tools they need and
lots of sewing techniques,” Owen said. The owner said she chose to be a dealer for Bernina machines because of their quality, fine, selfadjusting tension and no-jam bobbin system. “We have 15 different models for people to choose from,” she added. “We can find something for everybody.” Owen said that Gina’s Bernina has been in the top five dealerships for the United States and has won many awards, including the Presidential Award from Bernina America. Her dealership is considered to be excellent. “You have to do everything Bernina wants you to do to achieve that,” she said. That includes offering complete service and mastery classes on using Bernina sewing machines. Her dealership has Swisstrained technicians who service the machines, and it carries professional embroidery machines
and sergers. She said later in the year it will get in professional long-arm quilting machines. Staff and teachers include Owen’s daughter, Jessica Tate, store manager and buyer; Owen’s husband, Steve Owen; Doris Shanks, technician, and Kathy Drew, nationally known embroidery designer, quilter and instructor. “It’s a family business, as well as friends and loyal employees for many years,” Owen said. Her business started from making children’s clothes. “People started wanting to buy them,” Owen said. “Then, they wanted to learn how to make them, so we started teaching them.” Gina Bernina’s is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday.

FPS’s Schlomer perfect attendance honored ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
The perseverance of Farragut Primary School kindergartner Brixan Schlomer attracted the admiration of his teacher, Karen Trent, and school nurse, Connie Williams, so they decided to recognize his efforts with a medal Schlomer for perfect attendance Wednesday, May 21. His attendance, they thought, was extraordinary because he deals with juvenile diabetes. “We just wanted to recognize him because it’s hard to have perfect attendance for just a healthy child, much less a child with juvenile diabetes,” Trent said. “He’s a talented, athletic, smart, enjoyable child to be around and a pleasure to have him in class.” “We’re very proud of his getting perfect attendance,” Williams, a licensed practical nurse, said. “It means a lot that Mrs. Trent wanted him to be recognized. “He has dealt with the diabetes in the most positive way he can, and he has let nothing hold him
back,” Williams said. Brixan said he felt good about the medal. He added getting perfect attendance means good grades and it meant being in school. “I love school,” he added. “I just think it is a true reflection of family values,” FPS principal Gina Byrd said. “I think [Brixan’s parents] value his education, and they don’t use his being a diabetic as a crutch. He’s here at school every day. Brixan was diagnosed in November 2012 with juvenile diabetes. Before that diagnosis, his parents, Jennifer and Brian Schlomer, said they often took him to the doctor’s office with illnesses. “[The diagnosis] kind of hit us out of the blue,” Jennifer said. “We went to [East Tennessee] Children’s Hospital Nov. 30, 2012, and he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes. “He got placed on an insulin pump April 13 and started school in August. Since treatment, the doctor’s office visits have declined,” she said. “We just encourage him to do what everyone else does,” Brian See SCHLOMER on Page 6B
June bugs in July ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
It may be July, but the June bug beetle is not afraid to continue buzzing around Town. The green June beetle makes its annual appearance each year in correspondence with the temperature, day length and season. The prime time for them in this area is June, or, in this case, their swarming begins in June. It is now midJuly and the June bugs continue to hangout, but not to worry — they only last for about four weeks and are harmless to humans. “It’s that time of year where
they do start to come out they only are around maybe four weeks they are very, very seasonal,” Cheri Coldwate from Heritage Termite and Pest Service, Inc. said. “They are just annoying. You do not really want them around and they do not destroy things,” she added. Dr. Frank A.

Farragut High School senior Carson Farmer, 17, has fallen in love with rodeo. The son of Joel and Angela Farmer, formerly of Farragut, Carson competed in the Red Gate Festival and Rodeo Friday and Saturday, July 18 – 19, at the Red Gate Horse Farm in Maynardville. Farmer has been competing in rodeos for two years and competed in the Bartow County Championship Rodeo in Cartersville, Ga., Saturday, July 12, with his father and cousin, Stephen Farmer. Before he competed in rodeos, he grew up playing football. “I played football for eight years,” Carson said, adding his father had played football for University of Tennessee. “I got burned out with football,” Carson said. “My dad said, ‘Find a job or find another sport.’” Carson grew up around horses, so, three years ago, he looked to his uncle, Ed Farmer of Georgia, who competed in rodeos

for a living. “He’s been all over the West,” Farmer said about his uncle. “His son, Stephen, rodeoed a long time. So he traveled to Georgia to check out the rodeo. “I just fell in loved with it,” Carson said. “I wish I had started earlier.” Ed Farmer trains Carson in the sport. The youth competes in calf
team roping. Last year, he won the Kingston Championship buckle. “I am very proud that [Carson] chose to pursue his previous love, the rodeo profession and competition,” Ed Farmer said. “It is very rewarding when I see a young person excel at something they love See FARMER on Page 2B

There’s always room to grow Have you ever wanted to tell another adult to “grow up?” It’s interesting to watch an adult act like a child, but it’s not as easy to see immature behavior crop up in ourselves. I think we all carry remnants of our childhood into adulthood and studying those remnants in the lab of my own life has been a hoot for me. July 4, 2 0 1 4 m a r k s t w e l v e Pam years since Young I met Make it Nelly. She’s my inner Fun! child and constant companion, and when a few hours go by and I haven’t heard from her, I do as any mother would do; I check up on her. I might ask myself, “Is something bothering you little girl? You don’t seem very happy right now.” If I’m still and listen, I’ll get an answer that would have remained unexpressed had I not questioned myself. When children are ignored, whether they are real or within, they want attention and they will get it.) Nelly needs adult guidance and before that first meeting, she was free to run the show. I’ve written a lot about our relationship in my book, The Joy of Being Disorganized. I believe each of us has an inner child whether we know it or not. Take any chronic problem in your life, whether you’re overweight, in debt or your house is full of clutter, and ask yourself, “How old have I been acting when it comes to (you fill in the blank)? Bingo! It’s time to grow up. Your inner child is not all bad. I’ve discovered over the 12 years that it’s Nelly that keeps me young, frisky, optimistic and lighthearted, but when ignored
she will get my attention in ways that tend to sabotage my good intentions. We all Need Attention I remember one year at a family, Thanksgiving feast, the adults were chatting away about adult things and, when there was a lull in the conversation, our grandson Tanner (who was five at the time) said, “Let’s talk about me now.” We all laughed and focused our attention on him. He was so happy to get to talk about Tanner! His innocent desire to be part of the party was stunning to me. Before I met Nelly I was like Tanner needing attention, only I was 59. I’d be in a conversation with someone and while he or she was talking, I’d be planning what I was going to tell and sometimes not even hearing what the person talking said. I have since learned that when I pay attention to Nelly, I don’t need attention from others. I love to meet a new person and see how much I can learn without him or her learning anything about me. It’s fun to conduct sort of an untelevised talk show in which I’m the interviewer with a guest on my show. I’m sure you’ve had one-way conversations like that. When you understand that the need to tell someone about yourself is no more than a need for attention, you can start right away to give yourself attention by being kind and compassionate to YOU. Be your own best friend and the next time you’re in a two-way conversation, you’ll really be able to listen to the other person. A Nasty Email I received a nasty email from an angry woman (actually I think her inner child wrote it). “Inner child, inner schmild!!! I don’t get this inner child thing!!! I don’t have time to do justice to my real kids let alone some fantasy inner kid in me!!! What if I don’t have an inner child? Why do I care anyway? Aren’t you just blaming your bad behavior on somebody else when you say your inner child made you do it? The

whole thing sounds a little psychitzo to me!!!” Jessica It’s very seldom I receive cranky emails like Jessica’s, but when I do, Nelly begs to answer them. I usually don’t let her, because here’s what she’d have said to this woman, and then we’d be in trouble for her childish outburst: “How does it feel to use up your allotment of exclamation marks for the month? Just shut the fuss up and stop with the exclamation marks!!!!!!!” Nelly When I received the above email, Nelly must have been napping, because all that came to my mind was how much my life has changed since I met her. By the way, I don’t “blame” Nelly for inappropriate behavior, like say I bought a pair of shoes I really don’t need and it wasn’t in my budget. I address the “behavior”
as inappropriate and I get to the source of the behavior which is usually that of a child. “Nelly, I’m sorry I went shopping when I needed a nap and hadn’t eaten lunch. We need to take the shoes back and in the future I’ll be stricter with our eating and resting schedule before we go to the mall.” On the Fourth of July, Nelly and I will be celebrating more than the freedom our beautiful America has for its citizens. With every glittering light in the night sky, I’ll be commemorating our relationship. It has been the best 12 years of my life.

to do and the fact that he is family makes it even better. “I believe the sport of rodeo brings families together and continues to give us the opportunity to share special times with family,” he said. “This is what sports are all about.” “I love the lifestyle, being around the horses, cows and stuff,” Carson said. Last year, he was part of Tennessee High School Rodeo Association; but he said, all the rodeos were west of Nashville, and he wanted to compete closer to home. While he has never ridden a bull, the boy said that was on his to-do list. Farmer said he has not sustained any serious injuries but he had fractured his hand once while roping calves last year. He said the majority of injuries he sustains are “a bunch of rope burns.”

How prepared are you

Students practice the skills of self-defense at one of several classes at Eun’s Martial Arts Center, 11110 Kingston Pike in Aspen Square.
■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Self-defense is a one of many life skills that most think they will never need, but when 19-yearold Gregory Crenshaw allegedly attempted kidnapping a Pellissippi State Community College student Thursday, June 19, she knew how to best protect herself. But how prepared are other West Knox Country residents if this were to happen again? Master Seong J. Eun, owner of Eun’s Martial Arts Center, 11110 Kingston Pike (Aspen Square), has a solution to filling the gaps in knowledge of self-defense. He offers an adult self-defense class three times per week, teaching students the importance of protecting themselves in the rare chance someone attacks. “Of course we have a selfdefense class … our program is the physical-mental training, so for example, we have an excellent women’s self-defense class. First, it is good exercise, and they can learn specialized self-defense and defend themselves,” Eun said. It is never too late or too early to take a self-defense course at Eun’s Martial Arts Center, as any given class could have students ranging from 10 to 65-years-old. His 26 years spent in the same location has shown him that the sport is beneficial for anyone who gives it a chance. “Well, once again, I can say any

parent, if they have a daughter or son, give to them learning martial arts,” Eun said. “I can say it is [the] best gift, because any exercise, any sport is fine, especially martial arts, is very important this time,” he added. Even his 15-year-old daughter Sarah, a Farragut High School student, is enrolled in a course. “For my daughter it is very important learning martial arts. Then if they go to college, they can defend themselves,” Eun said. The Palmer family is a group of newer students to the Martial Arts Center, but they did not sign up with self-defense in mind. “We honestly signed up for selfdefense when we were watching
“The Karate Kid,” because we thought it was cool. Is selfdefense a neat thing? Yes. Have we ever conceived the idea that we would need it? No,” Ken Palmer said. Enrollment is available at any point for Master Eun’s selfdefense classes, Taekwondo, Hapkido and Jujitsu classes. His experience as a former Korean Marine, former The University of Tennessee men’s swimming team special trainer, and current World Taekwondo Federation member ensures specialty training for anyone who enrolls.

The sister duo traveled down with family friends to help prepare the fourth cottage-home at the orphanage. The idea is to put about 12 children in each home with a mother and father figure, implementing a family atmosphere to those who did not have any. “It’s really hard to adopt out of Malawi, so the orphans don’t really have anywhere to go but big orphanages, and we really believe

Farragut High School unlocked its doors for the annual FHS Junior Cheer Camp July 7-10, a long lasting tradition that allows the high school cheerleaders to share their hobby with elementary schoolers. About 60 girls, ages 5-10, were split up among the 16 FHS varsity cheerleaders during the week to learn cheers, dances, stunts, jumps and more. Coaches Denise Baughman and Mollie Townley not only enjoy the elementaryaged girls learn the skills, but the high schoolers transform into leaders for the week. “I love watching the high schoolers take the leadership and leading these girls and being older mentors to them,” Baughman said. “I really like seeing the relationships that are built and watching the little girls get really excited about cheerleading the way I know my girls are excited about it … It’s a great way for the high school to have a presence in the community,” Townley added. As for the high schoolers, they just enjoy watching the younger girls learn to do the things they spend so many hours per week practicing. “I just like watching the little kids do the routines, because it is See CAMP on Page 7B

in them having a family aspect to their lives and a mother and a father, so we built these cottages,” Rather said. Their time spent in Malawi included painting murals and rooms in the new cottage and “loving on the kids most of the time.” The family-like atmosphere provides both a support system for the children and a Christiancentered environment, as the children memorize a Bible verse about every three weeks, according to Rather. The sisters, Callie a rising senior and Sarah a rising freshman at The University of Tennessee, are now in their second year of giving up a portion of their summer vacation to visit the community their family helped establish in Malawi. “We stayed in a wooden house, you could say, and we sleep on mattresses on the floor with mosquito nets over us. We don’t really have electricity that much. There’s no running water, so it’s definitely different,” she said. “Since they don’t get adopted out of there, it’s the same kids [as last year]. We know them, we’ve kept in contact with their parents and families over email, I hear from them every couple of weeks, we email back and forth, so it’s really not just random people we are going to see — it’s children that we know and they know us and that remember us and we have relationships with each mom, dad and kid there.” “I assume we will go back every year forever,” she added. Callie and Sarah Rather are the daughters of Susan and Lytle Rather, a Town businessman, and sisters of Bamber Rather, 16.

fun to watch them learn,” Hannah Alison, FHS cheerleader, said. Darby Faulkner is one of several FHS cheerleaders who attended Junior Cheer Camp as an elementary schooler, a memory that aided her decision in trying out from the team. “I loved [Junior Cheer Camp]. It is really fun [to be a FHS cheerleader], because I looked up to the cheerleaders so much when I was little, so I love how they look to us. It is really cool,” Faulkner said. Katelyn Bruce, 8, is in the midst of her fourth year of cheerleading and has a simple reason of why this camp is a favorite. “We just have so much fun, because the high school cheers are so fun,” Katelyn said. Alison Stigall, 8, enjoys the
attention and mentoring the cheerleaders give while at camp. “They are always so fun, and I get to jump on their back. They are a big part of cheer, and it’s just really fun to play with someone who is older than me,” Stigall said. The excitement and positive feedback from the campers is exactly why Baughman and Townley continue the tradition of the annual camp. “[We continue planning it] for a legacy of the high schoolers passing it down to the younger kids. Some of our high schoolers went to junior cheer camp when they were that age, so it carries on that tradition. It’s also a great fundraiser for us and builds relationships … when we see these girls at the football games in the fall — it’s just that connection they have,” Baughman said.

the winter, and next spring the large size third stage will come towards the surface,” Hale said. “As they dig around, they can actually separate the roots from the soil, and sometimes the plants will dry out because of the digging of this type pest,” he added. The June bug beetles congre-
gate in sunny and well-fertilized areas, from the sunny spot of a lawn to a flowerbed full of mulch. Some of their favorite places to eat include grass roots, already-damaged fruit and even turf grass, but there is typically little harm. “They feed some on primarily grass roots, but they can often dig up plants if there is a high enough density of them, so there is really not that much damage,”
Hale said. Some people will call their local pest controls, such as Heritage, to find out how to get rid of them, but there is not much to be done. “People can get rid of them just by spraying them with water or vacuuming them up … they are just annoying,” Coldwate said. If they start to attack some produce or plants, Hale has a few recommendations.
