Relationships key to new FHS skipper ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Saying she is “absolutely” applying to become Farragut High School’s long-term principal beyond 2014-15, Stephanie Thompson emphasized she is taking a “relationships first” approach toward academic growth at her new school. “This year I’m really going to be focusing on building relationships with my staff. … Letting people get to know me. And then
we will, as we get to know each other better, we will look to see where can Farragut High School be even greater, more amazing than it is right now,” said Thompson, appointed as FHS interim principal for the coming school year Friday, July 25. “Build relationships before we try to create a vision to move forward.” Thompson, beginning her 16th school year as an educator, is tackling her first-ever principal job after almost three school
years as an assistant principal at Austin-East Magnet High School. “I really believe I’m a strong instructional leader,” she said. “I’m strong in the knowledge of what good instruction looks like and how do you support a teacher to improve their craft to get to that. “I believe I bring energy,” Thompson added. “I’m a people person, I love to be out in amongst my students and out in amongst my staff, and out in my
community getting to know people. That’s who I am.” “I’ve very excited. Farragut High School is an incredible learning institution. I’m honored to be chosen and appointed as the leader of such an amazing school.” A business teacher at FHS during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 school years, “During that time what I learned is this staff works together, they support See THOMPSON on Page 4A

Farragut’s annual Fun with Farragut’s Fleet has a new location this year, Mayor Bob Leonard Park. Town of Farragut is sponsoring the display of Town and Knox County emergency and maintenance vehicles for children beginning at 9 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 16, at the park. “[The event] had been up at the Town Hall every year until this year,” Lauren Cox, Farragut Special Events and Program coordinator, said. “We had to move it to Mayor Bob Leonard Park because we have outgrown the [Town Hall] parking lot. “We’re anticipating 500 to 600 kids this year,” Cox said, adding those numbers are based on growth the event has experienced over the last few years. “It’s a popular event every year, and it’s in the

Temporary Closure of Turkey Creek Road Town of Farragut will be closing Turkey Creek Road to through traffic beginning the week of Aug. 18. The road will be closed between Lake Heather Road (Inverness Subdivision) and Lake Haven Road (Lake Haven Subdivision) for construction to stabilize and repair the slope on the north side of Turkey Creek Road. The closure will be for 28 days or less depending on weather conditions during the construction process. Signage indicating closure will be installed at each end of Turkey Creek Road.

Dura-Line received the green light for two additional signs on the fivestory Parkview Plaza building in which the company is located from Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen during its meeting Thursday, July 24.. A sign would be placed on each end of the fivestory building at Parkside Drive. After some discussion BOMA voted unanimously to amend its sign ordinance to allow the additional signs. “Initially, I was against the amendment but at the end of the day, I supported it wholeheartedly,” Alderman Ron Honken said, adding the signs’ square foot allowance would be distributed among the four signs. Alderman Jeff Elliott asked about the impact the change would have on other zones. “What’s being proposed
is just on that zoning ordinance, but it could make it more challenging if someone were to want to make a change,” Mark Shipley, Community Development director, said. Elliott asked the building’s owner what his rationale was for the two extra signs. “We have our national headquarters here,” Tim Grimsley with Dura-line said, adding potential employees and clients get lost trying to find the building because they are looking for a sign with the company’s name. Mayor Ralph McGill said he did not see how adding the signs would do any harm and added he supported the amendment. Shipley said the Visual Resources Review Board reviewed the applicant’s request in March and recommended the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission “pursue an amendment.” The Commission voted 6-2 in favor of See BOMA on Page 2A
Carson holds input session ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Karen Carson, Knox County School Board District 5 representative, hosted a community input session Tuesday evening, July 29, at West Valley Middle School to further explain Knox County Schools’ five-year strategic plan — a plan that led several of the 24 attendees to
bring a teacher’s perspective into the mix. “It saddens me that we are watching good, effective teachers … leave. Have you talked to them on why they’ve left the system?” a parent asked. “I think the job has changed, and I think there’s no denying that the job has changed,” Carson said. KCS policy changes
throughout the past few years dealing with factors such as new technology and responsiveness leaves teachers questioning if their voices are really being heard. “We know to engage our community we have to engage our students, our parents, our staff, our faculty and our community, so when we are talking about customer relations, it’s
being responsive to concerns, whether it be maintenance concerns, and addressing those, technology concerns … employee concerns … we’ve got to be responsive to them,” Carson said. Gloria Johnson, a KCS teacher and District 13 state representative, said she appreciates recogniSee KCS on Page 2A

tion that the schools run according to such responsiveness. “This may be a small thing in people’s minds and maybe nobody else thinks about it, but to me it’s huge the perception of how teachers feel, when you talk about customer service … you don’t run a school like a business. A business’s bottom line is profit and a school’s bottom line is people and an educated child,” Johnson said. The frustration among educators on teacher-retention rate is important to both the teachers themselves and the County, according to Carson. “I think we still want to keep and value excellent teachers, but I will say, the job has changed … there are goals in this plan that say it, you know; I think it’s 90 percent of it when you look at retention, we want to keep 90 percent of our excellent

teachers,” Carson said. Despite the audience’s concern with teacher retention rates and serving them, Dr. Jim McIntire, KCS superintendent, reassured that the teachers are still succeeding. “I think what we know and see is that our teachers are doing a great job. The instruction that we are seeing in the classroom is really quite good and quite strong and I believe quite effective,” McIntyre said. Other concerns brought to the meeting included discussion that the strategic plan does not include details on improvements and the fact that any and all changes will have to go through further Board approval. However, Carson reinforces that this is a normal procedure. “My belief when you write policy … I tend to err on the broader rather than on every subject … everything could be [under] review,” Carson said.

Community Development When people talk about or reference the town of Farragut, one aspect that comes to mind is the Town’s historic commitment to planning and building code enforcement. You can often tell that you have entered the Town limits by the look a n d design of the sign a g e , landscaping, building presentation, lighting, and provi- David sions for Smoak Farragut pedestrian and Town bicycle Administrator facilities. When the Town was founded in 1980, a key objective was to provide for a community with well-planned developments and responsive code enforcement. This has helped protect residential and commercial investment and has made Farragut one of the fastest growing and most desirable communities in East Tennessee. The Community Development Department oversees both planning and code enforcement. Starting with a skeleton crew in
the early days of the Town, the staff has grown with the community and now includes three building inspectors, two professional planners and two administrative assistants. The department also oversees fire code enforcement and contracts through Rural Metro for this service. A major objective of Community Development is to work with both citizens and developers, helping them understand the purpose of the Town’s codes and ordinances and how these documents assist them and our community. The department has developed numerous informational brochures, checklists and illustrations to explain and simplify the building and remodeling processes. In addition, the department periodically conducts training sessions and workshops on a variety of topics ranging from stormwater and site layout to signage, architectural design and landscaping. On Aug. 20, the Town’s codes staff will partner with the East Tennessee Building Officials Association to bring a training session on the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code to New Harvest Park. This all-day training is being provided free of charge to local inspectors and design engi-

A “lead teacher” at A-E for two school years, Thompson said, “I worked heavily with the reconstitution and redesign for that school in the turnaround model, and then became an administrator” there most of three school years. Thompson said her A-E experience included a lesson in “really learning to look at our data and make decisions.” “But I think what it will do here is, [after] looking at that, [asking] ‘how do we make Farragut greater that it is right now?’ … You’re constantly

We help each other, and I think that’s what I came away with. “Farragut is a family,” she added. “When we need each other, everybody else is there to help you.” Growing up in Atlanta, Thompson and husband, Neil, and their four children moved from Ocala, Fla. — where she taught for six years — to Oak Ridge “12 years ago.” Also teaching one school year at Halls High School before her two at Farragut, “I

I really worked hard to build relationships with those principals and to support them in any way that I could.”

Farragut Board allows non-food beer, wine permits ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Non-food businesses have an opportunity to sell beer and wine in their establishments. Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously during its meeting Thursday, May 22, to change its ordinance on second reading to allow those establishments to sell beer. Those businesses will be in a Class 2-On Premises permit classification. Town recorder Allison Myers said the ordinance amendment came about after the Board heard requests from a couple of area businesses. Two workshops followed, ending in a proposed ordinance change, which the Board has approved on first reading. The amendments also include adding a Class 4-On Premises permit for establishments where beer is sold for consumption at a tavern. The Board also revised adult entertainment definitions and restrictions of conduct or activities. No discussion followed the introduction of the ordinance, so Alderman Ron Honken moved to approve the changes. Additionally, the Board approved unanimously on first reading of the Town’s annual
budget. While the Board looks at reaching the goals of its strategic plan, Town administrator David Smoak said, “Certainly, we want to maintain our financially sound government, which is a lot of what we are talking about tonight.” Revenues are projected at $8,278,501 and expenditures are projected at $6,456,532. The Capital Investment Plan for 2015 -2016 projects total costs of $5,581,250 with the largest project being improvements to Everett Road from Union Road to Split Rail Farm subdivision. This project was estimated at $3,500,000. “We have spent several hours going over this in advance of the meeting,” Honken said. Honken said he thought the salary increase pool was heavy in light of today’s economy. “I would like to see us file that back,” he said. Honken also suggested increasing the contribution for News Sentinel Open golf tournament from $16,500 to $20,000, a 21 percent increase. “I agree we should, if we don’t eliminate that [salary increase], we should decrease it substantially,” Alderman Bob Markli said. Honken moved to approve the

budget with his suggestions, which was seconded by Markli. However, Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche said she would like the Town keep the 3 percent increase for its employees. On another matter, Debbie Pinchock, a community representative with the Community Health Council, said the Council will be working on: acting as a forum for discussing and coordinating communitywide efforts to improve health outcomes and the local health system function; acting as an advisory board to the elected and appointed officials, and helping become active in the goals and objectives already adopted for the local public health system.

Town of Farragut Public Works and Leisure Services staff members, as well as representatives from the emergency organizations, will be available to answer questions, Cox said. “There is someone at each vehicle to explain how it works and what it is used for,” she added. This year, representatives of Knoxville Moms Blog are hosting a kid’s craft and snack tent. “We’ll be handing out Annie’s Snacks, Pirate’s Booty, GoGo Squeez and Pretzel Crisps to all families coming out for the fun,” Natalie Rickerson, Knoxville Moms Blog founder, said. Knoxville Moms Blog is a col-
laborative site written by and for local moms with daily posts on things to do around Town, ways to get involved in the community, parenting solutions, personal essays from mothers, local business spotlights and more, Rickerson said. “We recently partnered with [Knoxville Moms Blog] on advertising our kids’ programs and events,” Cox said. Fun with Farragut’s Fleet is free and open to the public. People do not have to register to attend, they can simply stop by, Cox said. In case of inclement weather, call 865-966-2420 for the event’s status. For more information about Fun with Farragut’s Fleet, contact Cox at lauren.cox@townoffarragut.org or 865-966-7057.

FHS rebuilding; 4-AAA wide open? ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
As the 2014 girls soccer season looms there may be a changing of the guard in District 4-AAA, as all three area teams have their eyes on a district championship. Farragut, which has reached the Class AAA State Tournament in each of the last three seasons, will be in a rebuilding mode after winning consecutive district and Region 2-AAA Tournaments in each of the last three seasons. The Lady Admirals, who went 19-3-3 last season, made three consecutive trips to the state tournament but didn’t come home with the ultimate prize. They were eliminated in the semifinals last season and lost six starters from last year’s squad, which dominated things after getting off to a sluggish start. The Lady Ads were winless in four of their first seven matches (3-1-3). Farragut struggled to find its shooting touch early. But once the Lady Admirals found their offensive firepower, they won 16 of their last 19 games. After a midseason 3-1 loss to Germantown Houston, Farragut reeled off 13 straight wins. That streak ended in the state semifinals. Hardin Valley Academy reached the sectional round last season and looks to have another strong campaign in 2014. The Lady Hawks went 19-3-1 in 2013 and finished second in the District 4-AAA regular-season standings. HVA was the district and region tournament runnerup. Hardin Valley is one of the preseason favorites this year. “I think it will be a tight race between Hardin Valley, Bearden and Maryville,” longtime Farragut head coach Dennis Lindsay said. “And we should be in the mix.” Meanwhile at Bearden, the Lady Bulldogs have a new coach, as Ryan Radcliffe takes the reins. Radcliffe is a former star player for the Bulldogs and a 2007 Bearden graduate. He replaces longtime coach Eric Turner, who resigned last spring after a successful run at the school (two girls state titles). The Lady Bulldogs went 13-6-1 last season and finished third in the district before being eliminated in the District 4-AAA Tournament semifinals. Bearden is looking to recap-

ture its past soccer glory this season. Farragut has been the most successful area girls program in recent years and the Lady Ads will again get everybody’s best effort. “I think we realize that we lost a lot of people and we know that we are going to have a hard schedule,” senior K.C. Ward, Lady Admirals’ all-state midfielder, said. “We know that there are going to be a lot of teams who are going to come after us. “I think we’re going to have a very testing year but I think we’re all a little excited to get to play with some new people.” Top returners at Farragut also include: Grace Sommi (sophomore, defender); Kendall Clay (senior, forward); Jordan Fierley (junior, midfielder); Emma Jeter (senior, forward/defender) and Natalie Goetz (a senior defender who was the district’s Defender of the Year last season). “It’s going to be tough this year and some of the new kids and the younger girls are going to have to step up and replace some of the girls we lost. “It’s kind of a rebuilding year.” At Hardin Valley, Mike McLean begins his fifth season as the Lady Hawks’ head coach and he’s looking to build on last year’s success. “It will be tough this year
because we’ll have two new coaches in the district [at Bearden and West]. It will be tough because you don’t know what they do,” McLean said. “You don’t know what to expect. “We’re just going to add on to what we did last year. We went to the district final, the region final and the substate final and we lost all three of those games.” Top returners for the Lady Hawks include: Taylor Bishop (senior, forward); Sierra Palmer (senior, defender); Gabby Powers (junior, midfielder); Tippany Patrick (senior, goalkeeper) and Rachel Lindsey (senior, midfielder). Junior defender Dominique Rowe is a newcomer who will look to make an early impact, according to McLean, who noted that he has a talented freshman class. “Our strength is depth,” he said. “We have a very talented freshman class. But right now, I think everybody is trying to find the right chemistry.” Bishop said that she’s eagerly anticipating her senior season. “I’m just really excited and ready to go,” she said. “We know that every game is going to be

tough and we know that we can’t take anything for granted. “We can’t look at this being anybody’s rebuilding year. We have to be ready to play every night.” Lindsey agreed and noted that last year’s season-ending sectional loss in Kingsport left the team wanting more. “That [2-1] loss to DobynsBennett will help us learn from our mistakes,” she said. “We know that things will be tough this year. “But we’re ready to go.” At Bearden, Radcliffe inherits one of the county’s most successful programs and he acknowledged that Turner didn’t leave the cupboard bare. “We’re fortunate to have a deep squad,” he said. “In this district, you have to play the best. “But I wouldn’t want it any other way. Everybody knows that this is the best district.” Bearden’s strength looks to be its forwards. The Lady Bulldogs return a trio of strikers that were responsible for most of its offensive production in 2013. Senior Ashley Seltzer returns along with junior Casey Riemer and sophomore Taylor Frizen. “We have three goal scorers
who are very creative strikers,” Radcliffe said. “They’re all creative players and that’s what you have to have with your strikers. “You have to have players who can make something out of nothing.” Senior Alexa Saravi also returns and will anchor Bearden’s midfield. Key newcomers include freshman forward Ashton Glover and junior defender Riley Strickland. Bearden has made early postseason exits in each of the last two seasons and Riemer is looking to change that. “I’m just excited and I’m looking forward to the new season and I’m looking forward to the new coach,” she said. “I think our defense is going to do well and we know what we have to do. “I’m looking forward to a good season and I’m looking forward to getting back to state.” Seltzer added that if the Lady Bulldogs play well things would take care of themselves. “We know what we have to do and we have to do it,” she said. “We have to play hard and we have to worry about how we play and not who we play.”

Uggs, Ariat, Wolverine, Corral, Justin … Elliott’s Boots, Shoes and Sandals, 620 N. Campbell Station Road in Farragut, has more than 60 brands from which to choose. “We are by far the best,” Rob Ergenbright, store manager who has been with Elliott’s 15 years, said. “If you haven’t been by here recently, be sure to check us out. There’s always something new and something on sale.” Ergenbright said in August, customers can expect to find new fall stocks coming in to the store. “There will be a lot of new and exciting brands and styles,” he added. Elliott’s Boots, Shoes and Sandals, owned by Jack and Joyce Elliott, started back in 1982 along Western Avenue in Knoxville. “Since then, we have added five more retail stores,” Ergenbright said.

Customers always can find announcements of periodic special events, such as tailgating parties, on Elliott’s Boots and Shoes’ Facebook page and its mailing list.

Thousands of dollars were raised to fight youth autism thanks to Rock Around the Dock For Autism presented by Regal Entertainment Group, a benefit specifically to help autistic children and teenagers 18-and-under at The Shrimp Dock’s Bearden store, 5210 Kingston Pike, Friday evening, May 2. Scores of The Shrimp Dock customers, who each contributed $50, enjoyed an evening fare of Cajun shrimp boil by The Shrimp Dock with side dishes, wine, beer, soft drinks and desserts. Among the 20 silent auction items were expensive and rare bottles of wine donated by Farragut Wine & Spirits, The Shrimp Dock co-owner Phil Dangel said.

Duncan for Congress Working on Issues that Matter to You A Personal Message from Congressman Duncan Defending the Constitution I took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and that is exactly what I work to do each day. I especially focus on protecting our Second Amendment rights and securing our borders against illegal immigration.
Balanced Budget I don’t believe in spending money we don’t have. With one of the most fiscally conservative voting records in Congress, I consistently vote to reduce government spending in order to protect Social Security and control the federal debt.
Growing our Economy I want to eliminate government over-regulation so more businesses can open and expand, creating better jobs for Americans. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed my reelection, saying it will “produce sustained economic growth, help create jobs and get our country back on track.”
Repealing Obamacare I believe the biggest problem with the so-called Affordable Care Act is that it is unaffordable already. I will continue to speak out against it at every opportunity, and I believe our federal dollars are better spent on things like improving care for our nation’s veterans.
America First I oppose spending billions of dollars on people in foreign countries who hate us. We need to stop trying to take care of the whole world and start taking care of our own country and putting the American people first, once again.
Please vote! Election Day: Aug. 7

FHS grad Younger triumphs after torment ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Born without a left leg, Sierra Younger’s life was spinning out of control at age 13 in Minneapolis, Minn. “From years of teasing I just kind of got fed up with everything, and I just got so angry with everybody,” said Younger, now an 18-year-old Farragut High School graduate whose life was changed, in the summer of 2009, by attending Amputee Coalition Paddy Rossbach Youth Camp. “… I just got so angry and depressed and just not really fun to be around.” When her prosthetist told her about this five-day camp in Clarksville, Ohio for children and teenagers, ages 10 to 17, with at least one limb amputated, “I wanted absolutely nothing to do with it,” Younger said. “I was just so angry and mad about the fact that I was born differently, and that people treated me differently because I was born different.” However, Sierra’s parents “put me on a plane” to Clarksville, and her life would never be the same. “When I got to camp, everything had changed,” said Younger, who is going back to the camp this summer after being chosen as its female intern. “Everybody was like confident and open and nice, and they were thinking about the best no matter what. They were

Volunteer spirit speads to Susannah’s House
■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Town of Farragut’s volunteer spirit spreads throughout the Knox County community daily, including the preparation of the Susannah’s House opening. Susannah’s House is a branch of Cokesbury United Methodist Church to serve the needs of mothers and their prenatally exposed infants recovering from substance abuse. The program calls for having a place for these women and children to stay while
learning how to better themselves. When the old Wesley House became available in downtown Knoxville along Dameron Avenue, Cokesbury decided it was time to make the vision a reality, and Farragut and other West Knox County residents were prepared to help. “It was work. It was pure work … it was in pretty poor condition, and we basically cleaned and painted and replaced ceiling tiles and all the above, so it was work, but it was a cheerful work, and we are looking forward to seeing the results,” Larry
Trent of Farragut said. He committed about two months worth of weekends to repairing and improving Susannah’s House but was not concerned with logging the hours. “I kind of lost interest in tracking my hours … we just did what was needed until we got a lot of things done,” Trent said. “My part was just a tiny little part in preparation. The real work is coming … It reminds me of a baseball player saying, ‘Build and See VOLUNTEER on Page 9B
One interpreter and one military man, both of whom risked their lives in Iraq, have been taught how to drive by a Farragut Rotarian. The Rotary Club of Turkey Creek Sunset joined forces with The Rotary Club of Farragut to apply for, and later receive, a District [6780] Humanitarian grant to benefit Bridge Refugee Services, Inc. “It involved safe transportation for refugees,” Leah Berry, RCF member, said. One goal “was to identify some English speaking refugees who wanted drive,” Berry added. Tom Marsh, a driving instructor with Drive 4 Life Academy and RCF member, spoke about his experiences as a volunteer
teaching seven refugees to drive. His address came during RCTC’s regular Tuesday evening meeting, July 16, in Faith Lutheran Church. In training these refugees, “This has been one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done,” Marsh said. Two of the seven put themselves in danger on a daily basis. One of the trainees, Omar Al Hamzah, “Said that he worked in Special Forces in Iraq. … To make sure any of the diplomats that they had were safe, they checked the vehicles over” for explosives, Marsh said. “He said he found [explosives] every day. They were constantly trying to blow these cars up. “He was a super guy, he’s very respectful. He wants to be here. See ROTARY on Page 6B

Stigall No. 2 in nation
Camp grandma When my grandchildren were younger, I turned my home into a summer camp for them. Now most are grown and too busy with their own, big kid activities. It’s kind of sad, but it’s all part of life. It just happens, but I’ve got photos to remind me of the fun we had. One year, my son’s two children came down from Seattle. Brooklyn was eleven and Jackie was eight. When they arrived, Brooklyn was especially clingy. She wanted to be hugged a lot and often a hug would last a minute or two. I knew the reason; she’d been away at a soccer camp the w e e k before and her mom Pam was with Young her just one Make it night and Fun! then they came here for the week. Jack didn’t go to camp, so he had been with his mom and dad and wasn’t in the least clingy. It was interesting for me to work with Brooklyn’s “neediness.” I found that if I dropped everything when a hug was needed and I let her break the hug when she was ready, the hugs got shorter and shorter as time went on. I felt like a gas station and she was my constant customer, needing another fill up. What was fascinating to me was that when Brooklyn got my full attention on her time terms, she
was then happy to go do all the things an eleven year old loves to do. It made me wonder how children who don’t get a lot of one-onone time with their parents deal with that lack of attention. I admit we grandmas have the luxury of dropping everything and just being with our grandchildren and of course we have the privilege of SOG (Spoiling Our Grandchildren). The list of activities at Camp Grandma would make the social director on a cruise ship green with envy. We hiked, picnicked, swam in the river, caught crawdads and let them go, picked wild blackberries and made a pie, had fresh Chinook salmon at our neighbor’s home, rode bikes, read for quiet time and watched zero television (a real change for these two). Two milestones: Brooklyn learned to sew (she made a pillowcase thanks to Gail Stone who sent me this wonderful link to a tutorial. Brooklyn had a friend over and we went to a fabric store and they picked out fabric and made a pillowcase to take home as a Camp Grandma souvenir. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrYWCma9wgM The other milestone, Jack learned to ride a bike. Do you feel like a gas station? So, Miss Gas Station, make sure your tank is filled up so your children can get filled up when they need to. I discovered through years of meditation and prayer that whenever I get needy and think I need something outside of myself, if I take a minute or two and spend some time re-filling from my own, God-given reservoir
of love, I cease to look for that love outside of myself. Someone said, the only reason we want anything is that we think it’ll make us feel better. We can feel better by just basking in our own ability to nurture ourselves. One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is that we can tap into an inner source of love that is eternal. Here’s a prayer I wrote that has always helped me to refill my tank. I am in a peaceful loving place. All the love I can experience is mine right now. All I have to do is be open and alert to accept this love that is mine. I let go of worry and fuss. I’m steadfast in refusing to listen to negative thoughts, especially from myself and from others who sabotage this promise of love God has made to me. I declare that peace and love grace this house with its soothing presence. In this moment, love rushes to me, enough to share with my family, my community, and my world. I’m not alone. My Creator is always mighty in the midst of me. I love who I am, and I accept Divine love which always has and always will meet my every need. My love can never be denied me because my source of love comes from God, the indwelling essence of my life. All is well. Take care and thank you for reading my article today.

HVA, Bray receive recognition for ‘Best Practice’ ■
COURTNEY SUCH csuch@farragutpress.com
Hardin Valley Academy has another reason to celebrate thanks to Renee Bray, former cafeteria manager, who brought the Tennessee Best Practice Award to the school. The award, given by the Department of Education’s Food and Nutrition Management, looks at schools statewide to decide who provided the best options and service. And that is not all. Bray’s state award quickly turned into a regional award presented by the USDA, a complete surprise to the award winner. “I knew I was nominated for an award but I did not know what the award was for,” Bray said. I was actually sitting in a ballroom in a conference in Nashville, Tenn., and opened the booklet and was looking through the booklet that they provide and saw it in the book, and that was the first time I realized that I actually had won the award,” Bray said. Jon Dickl, Knox Country School nutrition director, was caught off guard for the next award. “As the booklet said, she was a
state winner, but they did not announce that she was a regional winner until the conference. We weren’t even aware that we had won the regional award until the representative from the USDA showed up and announced that we had received that award,” Dickl said. Bray’s participation numbers is what originally qualified her nomination for the state award, as HVA had a 13 percent increase in breakfast participation and 23.5 percent increase in lunch participation from the 2012-13 school year to the 2013-14 school year, according to Dickl. “Some of the things different now from the past is meeting these students now where they are … it is a very tech-advanced generation of kids, and we they will text me,” Bray said. “I had a gluten-free student — she would text me if she was eating in the cafeteria that day … so meeting them where they are in today’s society was very important. Just the extra touches … they are all very little simple things to do that take very little time, but they just, kids remember those things,” she added. Bray brought her 15 years of experience in the restaurant
CARPENTER & LEWIS PLLC
industry and past work in KCS special education to make the HVA cafeteria into an award-winning facility for the past three years. The 2014-15 school year will provide her with a new challenge,
though, as she moves to the L&N STEM Academy to serve as cafeteria manager. But she will always carry her success at HVA wherever she goes. “It was absolutely phenomenal
[to work at HVA]. I could not have asked for a better school, a better administration or a better staff. I mean, it was absolutely one of the best three years of my life,” Bray said.

It was an incredible change. “I have been going every year since I was 13,” Younger added. Unlike her high school experience in Minneapolis, Younger said about her one year at FHS, “No one made fun of me, and
Tom Marsh, senior instructor for Drive 4 Life Academy off Papermill Drive in Knoxville and a member of The Rotary Club of Farragut, speaks about his volunteer time teaching Knox area refugees from around the world how to drive. March spoke to The Rotary Club of Turkey Creek during its regular Tuesday evening meeting, July 16, in Faith Lutheran Church.
“One of the most gracious people you’ll ever meet,” Marsh added. Martin, who became a widow at age 60, “had no clue how to drive,” Marsh said. “She went through the 30 hours of classroom there. … We had a great time together. “We gave her the learner’s permit test, and she passed it with a really good score,” Marsh added. “… We actually had 13 hours behind the wheel.”
that was a huge breath of fresh air. … I joked around with it because I am very open about it. I want people to feel comfortable about it. “The [FHS] people were very nice. They were actually a lot nicer than people at my old high school were.” Living in Farragut since early August 2013, Younger’s next stop is Grand Canyon University in Phoenix. “They’re known for their nursing program, it’s a private Christian school,” Younger said. “… I’m stuck between three different things that I want to do: I want to specialize in oncology; I want to volunteer to help wounded vets, I feel like I can help them, and I want to be an [emergency room] nurse.” A competitive swimmer and golfer who was a member of the Admirals swimming and diving team last season, Younger said, “I feel like it’s important to be active in different sports. … In reality I can do almost anything everyone else can do. “I just do it in a different way.”

Denise Douglas has spent the majority of her time designing the actual program the women who visit Susannah’s House will experience, so she too is anxiously awaiting its official grand opening. “My biggest involvement has been with program and content development for what we plan on doing with the moms moving forward,” Douglas said.

“I wanted to take my experiences and say. ‘Listen ladies. You can make a difference. You can get yourself a career,’ and to be a mentor for these women and to empower them … you don’t need to rely on others. You can look at yourself and make things happen,” she added. Mike Stevens, another West Knox County resident and head of volunteers and contracting at Susannah’s House, has the same humble spirit as the others. Now the owner of his own general contracting business, Stevens once had an office in the old Wesley House, so the decision to take on the project was easy. “I have a fairly long history with the building. I worked for Wesley
House and Habitat for Humanity, so my office was in that building about 25 years ago, so I’ve got a real love of that building and what they were doing,” Stevens said. “Anytime someone was there I was there, so it’s thousands of hours of subcontractors and community volunteers that came in here. I was amazed at the outpouring of the church and people that had heard about it and my time commitment was fairly small compared to the amount of time our church put into it,” he added. Visit www.cokesbury.tv/susannahshouse or contact Rebekah Fetzer, minister of discipleship, at rfetzer@cclive.org for more information on the program.
