Town seeks credit from KCS toward back taxes ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Lynne Fugate, chair of Knox County Board of Education, points out that Knox County Schools “has to cut $7.5 million out of our budget this [upcoming fiscal] year. We need all the money we can get.” In a town of Farragut letter, signed by all five Board of Mayor

and Aldermen members and sent to Fugate dated May 27, it stated the Town wants to negotiate down it’s $1,352,611 amount in Mixed Drink Taxes it owed — unknowingly in similar fashion to a few dozen other statewide municipalities — dating back to 1987. Moreover, the letter states that $747,500 in Town “cash donations” since 1993 to five

KCS schools, in which Town residents comprise part or most of the enrollment, should be considered “a credit.” That’s in addition to “another $70,000 to the foundations of at Hardin Valley and Farragut High.” The letter also made reference to “our limited current funds.” Recent Tennessee General Assembly legislation “encourages

the parties to resolve the issue by considering allowing a credit to municipalities for past, present or future appropriations, expenditures, allocation of revenue. …,” the letter further states. Because of that recent General Assembly statute which states a settlement must be reached by June 1 or available taxes collected from Farragut and other municipalities only

Go & Glow ■

Farragut and area families can celebrate fireflies and National Get Outdoors Day at a GO & GLOW in the Dark event. The event celebrates the synchronous fireflies found only in Elkmont in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Vietnam. GO & GLOW in the Dark is from 8 to 10:30 p.m., Saturday, June 7, on Brooklawn Drive, alongside Kroger Marketplace in Farragut. This event is a project of the Farragut Business Alliance and town of Farragut, Allison Sousa, FBA executive director, said. “This is a new event for us this year,” Sousa said. “What’s really neat about this is it is sanctioned by the National Get Outdoors Day. According to sources at GSMNP, Synchronous fireflies (Photinus carolinus) are one of at least 19 species of fireflies that live in the park. They are the only species in America whose individuals can synchronize their flashing light patterns. Fireflies (also called lightning bugs) are beetles. They take from one to two years to mature from larvae, but will live as adults for only about 21 days. While in the larval stage, the insects feed on snails and smaller insects. Once they transform

A community-wide survey went live on town of Farragut’s homepage last Thursday, May 29, a research-based questionnaire as a part of the Town’s ongoing marketing and branding project.

into their adult form, they do not eat. Their light patterns are part of their mating display. Each species of firefly has a characteristic flash pattern that helps its male and female individuals recognize each other. Most species produce a greenish-yellow light; one species has a bluish light. The males fly and flash and the usually stationary females respond with a flash. Peak flashing for

synchronous fireflies in the park is normally within a twoweek period in late May to mid-June. No one is sure why the fireflies flash synchronously. Competition between males may be one reason: they all want to be the first to flash. Or perhaps if the males all flash together they have a better chance of being noticed, and the females can make better comparisons.

The fireflies do not always flash in unison. They may flash in waves across hillsides, and at other times will flash randomly. Synchrony occurs in short bursts that end with abrupt periods of darkness. The mating season lasts for approximately two weeks each year. The dates that the fireflies begin to display varies from year to year. Scientists See GLOW on Page 2A

Results from the survey will be available in late November in one large packet, which will

include a variety of new strategic marketing plans to choose from, a new logo and a color pallet to use in every redesign project in the Town’s future. Such projects include a website redesign, new paper products, T-shirts and uniforms. “I would say I’m excited for the whole concept of the community coming together to live the brand. I think it will really help with the strategic direction of a lot of the community development organizations that are working on the behalf

of Farragut,” Allison Sousa, Farragut Business Alliance executive director and Town Marketing and Rebranding committee member, said. “We all will be singing from the same song sheet, and hopefully that will leverage our effectiveness,” she added. The survey includes 25 multiple choice and fill in the blank questions to gain the most accurate information possible. It is available through the end See SURVEY on Page 2A

Gary Palmer, Town assistant administrator, boarded his flight to Boston Sunday, June 1, to attend the Senior Executives in State and Local Government Program at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. “Of course I was extremely pleased to get a seat in the class. It is very competitive and I didn’t think I’d get a shot,” Palmer said. The three-week long program consists of various educational experiences in an interactive classroom setting. “That’s the part of the program I look forward to — meet folks. It’s fascinating to me how other communities handle their situations, whether it be economic, financial or community,” Palmer said. The application process was not new to Palmer. He has applied for the program the past five years through the International City/County Management Association. The ICCMA has reserved spots in the Harvard program, but its separate application process did not give Palmer any luck. He decided to apply on his own this year, and his persistence worked. “The application is pretty long and includes an essay. You answer all these questions and [include] a résumé, so I was extremely pleased I got into the class. But then it comes, how am I going to pay for it?” Palmer said. The Town is not providing financial support for the $11,950 trip. However, Palmer was awarded a partial scholarship. Mayor Ralph McGill said, “[Palmer] has pursued continually newer education opportunities, and this is just another one on his list. We are proud of him … that seems to be his thing — continually educating himself, and I say good for you.” Palmer said he is counting on the information to be useful tools in improving Farragut community’s management.

Several focus groups were asked to take the survey as a trial throughout the past few months, but according to Riemann, this is the first time in Farragut history this type of questionnaire is available to the entire community. “I think it’s just to give everyone a greater sense of the community that they live in, and I think we all are going to take pride in this new brand, so we hope that citizens and business owners alike will just rally around it,” Riemann said. North Star Destination out of Nashville was hired for the job in late 2013. “I am blown away by this company.

townview: recognizing Town staff

presstalk

For the remainder of 2014, I’d like to highlight each town of Farragut staff department — the people who are committed to serving the citizens of Farragut. I hope t h e s e columns will provide valua b l e insight David into the b e h i n d - Smoak Farragut t h e Town scenes work hapAdministrator pening every day to provide the highest level of services and support for our Town. When you see the white trucks with the blue Town Seal on the side of the street or in our parks, you’re likely witnessing the Public Works Department in action. It is fitting to begin this series with Public Works as the American Public Works

Association just celebrated its National Public Works in midMay. The APWA defines public works as “the combination of physical assets, management practices, policies, and personnel necessary for government to provide and sustain structures and services essential to the welfare and acceptable quality of life for its citizens.” By maintaining our public infrastructure — including parks, greenways and public buildings — as well as ensuring public safety — including sidewalks, snow removal and street repair — the Public Works Department truly does increase the quality of life in Farragut. Started in 1987 with two fulltime employees and one truck, the Public Works Department has now grown to an 11-acre property off Fretz Road with 19 full-time crew members, one part-time administrative assistant, and up to four seasonal part-time positions during the year. Following are a few tasks handled by the department: • Mow, maintain and install landscaping at all public green

spaces, including portions of Farragut’s four main greenways and approximately 133 acres at our four parks, and mow all Right-of-Way on major roads. • Install, repair and maintain public sidewalks and patch potholes on public streets. • Maintain traffic signals, install and replace regulatory traffic signs, and perform needed improvements to pedestrian crosswalks. • During winter weather events, utilize five trucks with snowplows to perform snow and ice removal for 155 areas and roads and run three, rotating 24hour shifts until roads are improved. • Assist with beautification projects and special events, such as the installation of six seasonal street banners and the construction of 45 lighted trees for an annual holiday event. This is just a sample of the many tasks and accomplishments handled by the Public Works Department. Please join me in thanking these Town staff for keeping Farragut beautiful and safe.

Tax

ing to Farragut schools were what they were using over and above compensating for that tax differential. ... They were doing that anyway, not as a substitute for the Mixed Drink Tax,” Fugate added. Looking ahead, Armstrong said he and Tom Hale, town of Farragut attorney, “Will probably come faceto-face eventually. ... Once we file the lawsuit I’ll probably be negotiating with him.” Attempts to contact Hale were unsuccessful prior to deadline. Though the Town’s grant money was not made available to KCS for countywide use, Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill said the Town contributions “still went to benefit the schools. … It’s a sizable sum.” About the lack of knowledge concerning the Mixed Drink Tax requirements among municipalities statewide, McGill said, “Surely the state has to have some culpability in this because they’re the ones who wrote the law that no one understood. We’re not sitting out here by ourselves. There’s 43 cities in Tennessee in the same boat. Does that mean we’re all ignorant? No. It means something was very confusing.” Concerning City of Knoxville and other statewide municipalities

that did know and have paid the tax, McGill said, “They apparently have a better window into the state than we do.” Fugate said she has “been invited to a meeting on June 9. That will be the first conversation I’ve ever had with the mayor of the town of Farragut. I think he’s coming to that.” That would also include, according to Fugate, Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., KCS superintendent, plus “the [Knox] County Finance director [Chris Caldwell] and I think David Sanders from the Law Director’s office who works with the school system.” From the Board of Education and KCS perspective, Fugate and McIntyre comprise “the executive committee of the board” and agreed with the decision to file the lawsuit, Fugate said. While the entire Board still must formally vote to approve the lawsuit, Fugate said the Board had been advised of a potential lawsuit “and no one objected” during a Board workshop Tuesday, May 27. If not settled by Dec. 31, “I think the [state] comptroller will take it over and they’ll collect it,” Armstrong said. “And it’s not going to be negotiable.”

the school board a quarter of a million dollars,” Armstrong added. Though Fugate said “up to $3 million” could be on the table if the county sought penalties and interest, Armstrong said, “All I want to do is try to get what is owed the school board, get them their money, without hurting Farragut.” However, “This idea of ‘well, we’ve given money and we’ve given money and we’ve done this and we’ve done that,’ I give money to the schools, too, but I still have to pay my Property Tax,” Armstrong said. “The law is they pay the school system” and not just the four Farragut schools plus HVA, Armstrong added. Moreover, “Knox County and [City of] Knoxville gives 72 percent [of Mixed Drink Use Tax] while Farragut gives 50 percent,” Armstrong added. “The City had no problem because they’ve always paid it. The County had a problem but we negotiated a settlement. They’re paying theirs in full and they’re paying it over time. … The School Board’s accepted it.” Fugate added, “I always assumed any contributions they were mak-

presstalk@farragutpress.com • What I saw just broke my heart and knew I just had to say something. I went for a morning walk with my dog and saw two nice women jogging down Turkey Creek [Road] and noticed a small/medium very thick-haired dog just heavily panting tagging along while these two just jogged and talked. The reason it broke my heart was not only was it warm and humid, but, I knew these two were at least two miles or more from a house, as I have not seen them nor the dog around our neighborhood. So, it meant that this poor cute dog had a long way to go to get some relief. And the reason I am writing this is for all those who apparently don’t love their dogs, like all you joggers who think that your pooches just love to run those many miles in the very warm humid heat. And even when YOU think it’s cool enough outside, a lot of time it’s just not for them. Sorry … he/she just does not love doing it. Dogs are not meant to just get up and run two to five miles with no stopping on a lovely warm/hot humid day. Maybe you want to go out and work up a good sweat and feel exhilarated doing so, but your dog is only miserable and you are killing him in the process. Yes, most dogs love to run. Some dogs are bred and trained to run long distances, but, the word trained is important and the health of the animal comes first. Most dogs love to run but play doing so. You all out there know who I’m talking about. I see you when I’m walking my dog or driving around Farragut and notice you are far from a home just jogging your big heart out at a rapid pace with your little dogs heart just lagging behind just wanting to please its owner. Now, if you feel I am wrong and maybe I am on some circumstances, just do this. I want you to cover yourself from head to toes, all areas of the body (nothing exposed but your nose and eyes), with a nice coat of hair, and make it thick like a dog, knowing you can only sweat from your paws. Now, take off your cushy running shoes and apply on little pads to the just the balls and the heels of your feet and go out and run that two to five miles, on concrete, in 75-

80 degrees/70 percent humidity in the blazing sun and really do tell yourself, are you having fun? Please be kind to your dog, if he really does want to run, do so, but give him the chance to determine how long and far, and know that even though you may not be overly warm or hot, they are. Take him to the dog park and he can run and stop went he wants. And you can jog your big heart out miles on the track next to him. He/she just loves you so love him back.

Clark’s 62 sets TGA Jr. record FHS rising junior lights up Dandridge course

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Building on his 10th-place finish in last fall’s TSSAA Class AAA Boys Golf State Tournament, Farragut rising junior Brian Clark set a Tennessee Golf Association Junior Tour record for 18-hole play last week. Playing the blue [championship] tees at Dandridge Golf & Country Club, Clark fired a 62 (10-under-par) on the 6,061yard course Tuesday, May 27. Hayden Echols, TGA Junior Tour assistant director of competitions, confirmed Clark’s 62 was indeed a record in the Tour’s 19-year history: one eagle, eight birdies and nine pars, firing a 31 on the front nine and 31 on the back nine holes. “His 62 beat the previous record by three [strokes] that stood for several years,” Echols said. “A 16- to 18-year-old kid shooting a 62 is something almost unheard of. Obviously just unbelievable play that day out of Brian. “We foresee that 62 standing as a record for a long time to come,” Echols added. “It goes to speak of how well, and how far, junior golf has come and just how good these kids are. “Brian’s 62 is kind of a shining light on junior golf and how good they are.” Saying it was “pretty crazy out there,” Clark, 16, added about his success, “It was more iron play. I was hitting it inside of 10 feet most of the time with my birdies. I was making every putt

from like 10 feet and in. “I started off with four birdies in a row, and then made four pars and then made a birdie on 9. … I played really solid after that.” As for his eagle, “I think it was on 14,” Clark said. About his previous experience on this Dandridge course, Clark said, “I had played the back side before but I had never seen the front side.” That previous “back side” experience, “in a tournament in the sixth or seventh grade” also proved to be groundClark breaking for Clark. “I shot two-under, that was my first ever sub-par round,” he said. “That’s been a good course for me.” Before his 10th-place state finish last season as a sophomore at Farragut, Clark said he played “mostly [No.] four or five” in the Admirals’ rotation. While helping Farragut claim a state runner-up trophy last fall, “We didn’t have any seniors,” Clark said about an Admirals team expected to return intact for this upcoming season. “I think I’ll be a better team player,” he added. “I think I’ll be more focused and I’ll know what to expect.”

That “little guy” eighth-grade catcher from the little Middle Tennessee town of Monterey, Matt Buckner, has become a big-time state championship baseball coach at one of East Tennessee's bigger high schools. Buckner, a self-described “grinder” in terms of pre-game intensity, still took time just moments before his own championship showdown to hug his mentor, Tommy Pharr, after Pharr won his sixth TSSAA baseball state championship. Pharr's Christian Academy of Knoxville Warriors just finished edging rival Knoxville Catholic 6-5 Friday afternoon, May 23, in Murfreesboro.

Buckner would get his own championship hugs about two hours later — most notably his young son, Lukas — winning his third TSSAA state title in five years as Pharr's successor at Farragut. Now close friends, Pharr's mentorship of Buckner started with the elder coach's first TSSAA job, Monterey head coach, in the mid1990s. “I remember he played as an eighth-grader. He was little back then. I used to tell him when we were taking infield not to yell until his voice changed,” Pharr said as he and Buckner laughed. “When I think of Matt when he was young I think of a guy with passion for playing, he See PHARR-BUCKNER on Page 8A

A chip off the old block from what might be Bearden High School’s ultimate soccer family, Ryan Radcliffe is attempting to fill some huge coaching shoes. Radcliffe, 25, an All-state BHS midfielder who helped lead the SoccerDawgs to the 2006 TSSAA Class AAA state title (Class of 2007) and who already has been a teacher at the school (algebra

in Special Education department), was hired last week to take over Bearden’s girls and boys soccer programs from legendary coach Eric Turner. “He was a great player and more importantly, he’s a great kid,” Turner said of Radcliffe, who went on to become a star midfielder at Maryville College. “He’s been around the program since he was 7, 8, 9 years old.

enjoyed playing,” Pharr added. “He was a hard worker in a lot of things that have made him successful now. He loved the game.” Though noting Monterey was a small school, Buckner said, “I was a good player there. … A good defender.” “I was crushed when [Pharr] left after my junior year.” After a stop at Roane State as a junior college catcher, Buckner went on to earn his undergraduate and masters degrees in education from The University of Tennessee. It was while he was a UT student that Buckner reacquainted himself with Pharr, who was in his third season as FHS head coach, becoming a volunteer coach in 2000. “I asked him if I could help coach. That's how it started,” Buckner said about his two years as a volunteer coach, 2000 and 2001, before taking off the 2002 season to concentrate on his masters degree. Pharr then hired Buckner, who became a teacher at Bearden High School in the 2002-2003 school year, as a full-time assistant in 2003. “When I came to UT, he was the only person I knew here in baseball,” Buckner, a physical education teacher at FHS, added about Pharr. “It worked out pretty good for me, obviously. … I didn't know a whole lot about the game. … I was fortunate to have a guy as knowledgeable as him to learn from.” Versus being a player, “The coaching aspect of it's a whole different animal,” Buckner said. “He taught me the game.” Buckner said Pharr “hasn't changed much” from Monterey to FHS head coach (1998-2009) and after five years at CAK. As for common qualities, Buckner said he and Pharr “are pretty stubborn. And I would like to think of us as grinders. I mean by that we're going to work at it until we get it right. … That's the thing I learned from him the most, is just keep beating at it until you get it right. “That may mean some hard times for our players.” Despite all of Pharr's success, “He's a student of the game. He's always trying to get an edge. To me that's what separates him

Meanwhile, Clark attempted to qualify for the Tennessee Junior Amateur, with an 18-hole qualifying round at Creeks Bend in Chattanooga Tuesday, June 3. In July at Cherokee Country Club in Knoxville, “Hopefully I’ll qualify for State Am,” Clark said. While noting that wedge and iron play are his strengths, Clark said his biggest challenge is “definitely driving accuracy.”

Tommy Pharr, CAK baseball head coach (facing camera), gets a big hug from Matt Buckner, his former player and assistant coach, after Pharr won his sixth TSSAA baseball state championship, this one coming Friday afternoon, May 23, in Murfreesboro. Bucker, FHS baseball head coach, followed up with his third TSSAA state title about two hours later.

from a lot of guys. There aren't many who are going to out-work him,” Buckner said. The 2003-2004 school year marked a turning point for Buckner: his first head coaching job — but as Pharr's rival at Bearden, no less. “The field [maintenance] and the fundraising and the booster club and dealing with a large program of mid-40s to 50 players. It was tough,” Buckner said about taking over at Bearden at age 25. Buckner said a turning point was in 2006 when he went 4-0 against his mentor while winning both the District 4-AAA regular season and tournament titles. In 2008, Buckner led BHS to the program's first-ever state tournament. By Bearden improving under Buckner, “I think we made [Farragut] raise their level,” the former Bulldogs coach said, a point to which Pharr agreed. “Another thing I learned from Tommy: if you're not good at pitching you're not going to be good at anything,” Buckner said about prioritizing pitching. “What I do the most is pitching.” With Buckner and Pharr both admitting they don't like to com-

pete against each other, they went head-to-head as coaches in 2014 for the first time since ’09: the Ads and CAK split two games. Coming back to FHS’s John Heatherly Field this season for the first time since winning his fifth and final state title as Ads skipper in 2009, “Those first few years were a little too emotional,” Pharr said.

“He knows exactly how the program runs, and I think it should be a pretty smooth transition,” Turner added. “I think he’ll do a great job.” As for coaching experience, Radcliffe has been a club level coach “for several years” according to Morgan Shinlever, Bearden athletic director and head football coach. “We were searching for what we felt was the best soccer coach for BHS. We also want a person who could carry BHS soccer as both the boys and girls head coach,” he added. “We have a soccer program at BHS, not two separate teams, and Ryan understand that bond. It is just an added bonus that Ryan is part of the BHS family and grew up being a Bulldog. “We are confident that Ryan will continue to build upon the proud tradition and reputation

A member of Fox Den Country Club who started playing golf in the third grade, Clark said he’s on the FDCC course “every day out there just grinding.” Crediting his father, David Clark, for teaching him “the love for the game,” Clark said he had a turning-point moment in middle school. “I really realized, ‘this is my game,’ in the sixth grade and ‘I can really play it,’” Clark added. “’Maybe do something special.’” Mission accomplished. BHS holds in soccer. Ryan is a good fit for our program because of his soccer background, knowledge and passion for the sport.” Radcliffe has quite a family tree of soccer involvement and success. His mother, Linda Radcliffe, was a BHS assistant coach that included all of Ryan’s years playing at Bearden (2004-2007). She helped Turner win five state titles and a national title (2002). Ryan’s older brother, Derick Radcliffe, was an All-American midfielder with the SoccerDawgs (2000-2003) who helped deliver on that undefeated national championship plus two state titles (2001 and 2002). Derick went on to star at the University of Alabama Birmingham before playing some professional soccer. Rick Radcliffe, Ryan’s father, is an avid booster. (Attempts to contact coach Radcliffe were unsuccessful at deadline).

Grand time at FHS Grand Reunion ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

While Horace Hamilton and older brother, George Hamilton, have been the backbone in organizing 20 Farragut High School Grand Reunions dating back to 1995, Horace (FHS Class of 1945) wanted to make one important point. “Me and George [Class of 1943] and our little brother, L. C. Hamilton [FHS Class of 1950] were together, and L.C. is the one that brought it up, saying we ought to start having a [grand] reunion,” Horace said about his late sibling during 2014 FHS Grand Reunion, held in Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church’s Family Life Center, Saturday morning, May 2. “So that’s when we started. It was his idea,” Horace added. “It’s worked out real good.” Alumni from the Class of 1941 were among the longest surviving alumni of several dozen in attendance. June Loy Whitaker, Class of 1952, said it was in her senior year that FHS “started a band. And when Knoxville High School disbanded, they gave us their uniforms for the band. … And they were blue.” Though saying she wasn’t in the band, “I had some friends that were,” Whitaker added. “Preacher Freeman, he led the band.” Whitaker said she remembers the former FHS football field off Concord Road as being “one old pole light and one set of bleachers.” Recalling the two years she

and older sister, Joan Loy Maysey (Class of 1950), were in high school together, Whitaker said, “I did her algebra for her.” Maysey added with a laugh, “It is the truth.” Moreover, Whitaker added, “I was on the National Honor Society.” In 1952, “We only had 42 in our graduating class,” Whitaker said. “The whole freshmen to senior [enrollment] was one big family, really.” Two years earlier Maysey estimated her graduating class in 1950 “was about 35.” Lloyd Delaney (Class of 1950) said he was a member of the first FHS football team in 1947. “I played center and linebacker,” he said about his three years as an Admiral. Delaney said he scored once in his FHS football career. “I swapped places with our quarterback and took it in for a point,” he said. “Every time we won, it was memorable,” Delaney added. As for teammates, Delaney recalled “L.C. Hamilton, C.L. Hampson, Jimmy Harvin, Alfred McFee.” While speaking with fellow Class of 1943 graduate Doris Woods Owens, Earl Graham recalled working at a “cannery” he said was built on FHS grounds in 1941. That was two years before Graham joined the U.S. Army right after graduation, becoming a staff sergeant and seeing World War II combat action “as a race gunner on a B24 Liberator Bomber from midNovember 1944 until the war ended. We bombed Germany,

Varma is a member of Troop 15, which is chartered by the church. His Eagle project benefited Knox Area Rescue Ministries Serenity House, a recovery house for women suffering from domestic violence and/or substance abuse. For his Eagle project, Varma built a path and patio of stone pavers at the back of Serenity House, as well as a flowerbed around the perimeter of the path. This addition to the property gives residents a place to enjoy the outdoors and a garden to tend. Nalin worked with Dave Perkins of Knox Area Rescue Ministries.

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

With a unique passion for chemistry and mathematics, Haley Chenot is proud to be among a few thousand of the top high school students nationwide academically. Chenot, a Farragut High School Class of 2014 graduate, was one of seven FHS seniors to be named a National Merit Finalist honoree earlier during the semester. She joins Reed Schneider, Akshay Soni, Lam Tran, Andrew Wintenberg, Yida Wu and Kenneth Ye. “I almost cried when I opened the little letter because I was so excited,” Chenot said. “It’s a very big deal because I want to say only 15,000 kids in the nation actually get this award. … The top one percent of the nation, essentially. That’s a big deal for a lot of [colleges],” said Chenot, 17, who is headed to Georgia Tech seeking to become a chemical engineer major. “You have to get a very high score on your PSAT, which is like the practice SAT, and then you also have to back

KARM seeks $300,000 from Dragon Boat Fest fundraising ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

While more than doubling its fundraising goal from the previous year by collecting $251,000 from 11th Annual Knox Area Rescue Ministries Dragon Boat Festival last June, the goal in 2014 has zoomed to $300,000. “With the success and growth that we experienced last year, we’re hoping that everyone’s going to keep that energy and excitement level up,” Danita McCartney, KARM director of events, said about 12th Annual KARM Dragon Boat fest. Event begins at 8 p.m., Saturday, June 21, on the waters of Fort Loudoun Lake at The Cove at Concord Park. “t’s such a wonderful display of like-minded organizations coming out to support KARM,” McCartney added. “It wasn’t just one team that raised a whole lot of money, it was just such a great collective effort. “I love this event. This is my favorite event.” As of May 29, “We have 48 teams,” McCartney said. With 21 members per team, “The team captain’s job is to rally their people together and encourage them and educate them about what KARM does,” McCartney said. “So those 21 people turn into active fundraisers for KARM leading up to event day. They’re sharing with their circle of influence, with their friends and their colleagues and their church family.” McCarley said the various teams — mostly comprised of Farragut, Knox and Knox area businesses and churches — “have had some fun and really creative fundraising events.” For example, “First Utility District, they always come on strong. They’ve been active fundraisers every year they’ve been involved. They’re awesome,” McCartney said about the FUD “Fuddy Duddies,” an annual Dragon Boat Fest participant. Among top fundraising Dragon Boat businesses in Farragut is Hicks Orthodontics, which will be participating for a third straight year according to McCartney. “NHC [Farragut], they’re an awesome supporter of this event,” McCartney added. Upon a team signing up, “KARM goes out to the different

teams for little fundraising pep rallies,” McCartney said. Teams still wishing to participate should contact McCartney at 865-633-7625 or www.karm.org/dragonboats. Team entry cost is $1,000 according to McCartney. As for changes versus previous years, “We’re going to be a little bit more intentional about really sharing the KARM story,” McCartney said about the event’s lunch-time “special ceremony” touting KARM and recognizing homelessness in the Knoxville metro area. “The top four fundraising teams get to face off against each other,” McCartney added. “It’s an amazing audience that we have out there. Well over 4,000 are coming through that venue.”

Awards ceremony is set to begin “around 4” p.m., McCartney said. In addition to recognizing the top three overall fastest racers, plus top racers in specific categories such as “Best Church,” the fest will include new award categories: “Best Rookie Team” and “Most Improved Time,” McCartney said. That’s in addition to regular awards including “Best Team Name” and “Best Tent,” McCartney added. Other event activities include refreshments “and a kids” area. We’re going to have inflatables and face-painting,” McCartney said.

that up with grades to make sure it wasn’t just a fluke.” Quick to point out her already impressive 4.30 grade point average could have been higher, “That’s just because I had marching and concert band for seven semesters, which brought down my GPA a lot,” she said. Farragut’s seven honorees “is rare for a school,” Chenot said. “Most schools only get one or two if any. “It’s a really big honor to be a National Merit Finalist.” As for her desire to be a chemical engineer, “I really love chemistry and I really love math, and I just get really excited about it,” Chenot said. “And I figure if I’m going into a field, that if I choose something I’m really super excited about it’s going to make the rest of my life worthwhile. “I think you have to love what

you do, otherwise what’s the point,” she added. Chenot said her passion for science and math “mostly came from the past three years, probably. It’s mostly because I took chemistry and I found that I was good at it and I really like it. And I’ve always loved math. Since I can remember it’s just been something that comes naturally to me.” During the past three semesters dating back to summer 2013, “I’ve had an internship down at UTK in their organic polymer research lab, so that kind of opened my eyes to the wonderful world of chemistry. And so I got to explore that more,” she said. “And I’ve just been blessed with so many great experiences that have helped reinforce the fact that it’s really something I can love for the rest of my life,” Chenot added.

FHS students show talent during Academy Night ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Parents, teachers and others in the Farragut community came out to see Farragut High School students’ talents and skills highlighted during the school’s Academy Night. Held Tuesday, April 29, the event offered the public an opportunity to see what the seniors have been working on with senior projects, experiments and shadowing. For example, Samantha Linkowski worked in Farragut branch of Knox County Public Library, shelving books for her senior project while Courtney Wills worked at the Oak Ridge Civic Ballet, cleaning and organizing costumes. Katie Beverlien presented her findings on a scientific research project. “I love it,” Beverlien said about Academy Night. “I got to see everyone else’s project, and they get to see mine.” Beverlien got accepted in the pre-collegiate research program at The University of Tennessee. To be accepted into that program, she had to join the school’s STEM Academy, Alice Thornton, FHS science teacher, said. “I think [Academy Night] is a really great experience,” senior Amani Alshibli said. “It’s fun to see what other students in our school were up to this semester and see teachers and guests.” “This is an amazing event,”

Susan Bolinger, college counselor at FHS, said. “We have really superb students here. It’s great to showcase their talents and abilities.” “I think it’s amazing,” Aditi Rangnekar, an FHS senior, said. “I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to shadow at such a young age. Graduate students are doing that. I get to participate in it now, and it is really helped me decide what I want to do when I get older.” Rangnekar, who shadowed doctors at Turkey Creek Medical Center, said she wants to go into medicine. Alexis Brossett, another senior, was mentored by Dr. Amie Goodrich with Village Veterinary Medical Center in Farragut, and said her experience helped her decide a career in veterinary medicine. She said the mentorship with Goodrich taught her things some students never learn until they go into veterinary school and do graduate work. “I actually had taught at the college level, as well, so I really appreciate these students’ having the opportunity to undergo the entire scientific process involved in setting up research,” Holly Kelly, a FHS science department teacher, said. “These students have gained an unprecedented level of experience at this level.” The school has four academies: Humanities; Science Technology, Engineering and Math-mathe-

share in this environment these kinds of experiences to keep them going,” he said. “It was interesting to see what my future might look like and where we could possibly be,” Hannah Irwin, a HVA sophomore, said. Karley Makin, a HVA cellest, said she thought playing with the KSO was a great experience.

FHS has 5 Olympiad champs ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Raaghul Senthilkumar said he’s “not really good at writing essays,” and that he’s hardly an expert on glaciers. But this Farragut High School junior joined forces with fellow junior Jason Fu, and the pair managed to successfully combine the subject of glaciers into three essay questions. The result was winning first place in the category of Dynamic Planet during the statewide Science Olympiad at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Saturday, April 12. Saying he was new to this type of competition, “I didn’t think I would get first place. I thought I did really bad. I didn’t even think I would place,” Senthilkumar added. Meanwhile, FHS junior Melissa Yu won a pair of first place awards teaming up with seniors Lam Tran and Akshay Soni in MagLev and Circuit Lab, respectively, helping the 15-member Farragut team as a whole finish seventh among a field of 20 teams. Knowing your topic “about a week” in advance according to Senthilkumar, “You just have to study it, and the test was three essay problems,” he added. Sporting a 4.45 grade point average, “I put in three to four hours” studying glaciers, Senthilkumar said. Now enthused about Science Olympiad, “I’m planning on doing the same event next year and see if I can get first place again,” Senthilkumar said. As for Yu and Soni finishing first in Circuit Lab, “There’s a written portion and like a practical portion,” Yu, with roughly a 4.60 GPA, said. “There’s this one part where you have to use volt meters to measure stuff.” Overall, “It was a really great experience because we had just

been learning about circuits in physics right when we went to the competition,” Yu added. “And so I got to use what we’d learned in physics in a competition setting. … It just lets you think more, not only about some of the basic concepts, but sort of expand on what you know.” Teaming up with Tran to win MagLev, Yu said, “It’s basically where you build a maglev at home. It’s a magnetically levitated train signal. … You use electromagnets. It’s like a two-part thing. You had to build a homemade maglev and you had a

track. … And there was also a written portion.” Enjoying good timing, “We had just been learning about magnetism in class,” Yu said. “Lam was great with maglev.” Crediting her teacher, Matt Milligan, for success in both competitions, “Mr. Milligan is a great teacher,” Yu said. Both Senthilkumar and Yu earned their spot at UT based on winning Science Olympiad Regionals at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City earlier in the 2013-14 school year.

Beelers’ new Concord home kicks off new Derby Day era

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Raising his fist in joy alongside his wife as California Chrome came down the stretch with a huge lead, George Kershaw was quite emotional among 10 Kentucky Derby winning tickets at Champ and Karen Beeler’s Derby Day party Saturday, May 3. “Cheryl and I went to the Derby in ’77 and watched Seattle Slew [eventual Triple Crown winner], we were there in box seats. Some old man had given us his tickets.

That was such a thrill. We just love the Derby,” George Kershaw said about the couple’s one visit to Churchill Downs. The Beelers’ new Craftsman style home in Concord, alongside the partially wooded shoreline of Fort Loudoun Lake near Northshore Drive, drew roughly 65 guests. Most were dressed in traditional Derby Day attire, enjoying the traditional mint juleps along with fine wine, catered meals featuring fried fish and barbecue, See BEELER on Page 7B

Flying with kids? Be organized I’m happy to announce I’m featured in American Airways magazine this month! With that good news I thought I’d write about flying with little ones. Now that vacation time in full Pam swing and Young if you plan Make it to fly with your kids, Fun! here are my top ten tips for happy flying. . . short of drugs. 1.Be Prepared Designate a carry-on as the entertainment bag. Keep what’s in it a secret, bringing out surprises as the trip goes. Busy kids are happy kids. Bored ones have the ability to terrorize everyone on a flight, including you. ✔ books ✔ notebooks

✔ pens ✔ crayons ✔ coloring books ✔ Ipod with favorite movie ✔ Kindle 2. Get Gum Children have very small ear canals and when the cabin is pressurized tiny ears can hurt. Chewing sugarless gum can help and once the jet is air bound it isn’t needed. 3. Let it Suck Nurse during take-off, or have a binky ready. I don’t think I’ve ever taken off without hearing an infant screaming because his little ears hurt. Sucking helps. 4. Turn Bedtime into Fly-time Matching PJs don’t just have to be at Christmastime. Deck your whole family out in new jammies for the flight. You’ll crack up the flight attendants as well as fellow passengers. Tell your kids you get to have a pajama party on the plane. You may have a hard time sleeping on a flight, but I’ve never met a kid on a red-eye that wasn’t asleep and I’d love to see a fun-

loving family dressed for bed on a red-eye. 5. No Sugar When the flight attendant comes by with the free sodas and juice, just say “NO, water or milk please.” Bring treats high in protein and fat. Nuts and cheese, veggies and mayo. Hungry children and those high on sugar will get fussy and disruptive. 6. Make Sure Price is Right Check the ticket prices for infants as you may be charged more for your baby than yourself. Some airlines charge up to 75% for a ticket without a seat. In this case you don't save money! Buy a normal ticket. At least you’ll get extra space and that’s really valuable. 7. Go Potty Before Take-off Even the ones who pipe up and say, “I don’t have to,” make sure everybody goes before take-off. Cut back on fluids before the flight, the same as you do before bedtime or they’ll be up and down the aisle. Torture for the guy who sits in the aisle seat and your

kid’s are in the window seat. This is sensible advice for adults too. Drinking five pints of beer before getting on the plane is dangerous, especially if you’re held up during taxiing. Of course, there’s always Depends. 8. The Air Police are Watching One of my friends who had to fly with her rather hyper threeyear-old told me this worked wonders. “I warned Rachel to behave or the Air Police would have to come. I pointed out the TSA uniformed agents and told her they also look out for badly behaved children. I’m not suggesting I scared her out of her wits and I didn’t tell her what’d happen if they caught her being a brat; I just used the suggestion as a way to teach her respect for those in uniform and it definitely gave me a psychological edge.” 9. Peek-a-Boo Babies love to be held up over your head. On a flight, they get to see all the passengers and many will be trying to get baby’s atten-

tion. It’s a great way to calm a baby and it’s good for your upper arm muscles. 10. Practice Enlightened Selfishness Follow one of the airline’s cardinal rules: in case the cabin loses pressure, put your oxygen mask on first and then assist your child. Take care of yourself first and everything will take care of itself. If you feel good and are rested, you’ll be far more able to cope with the inevitable tests thrown at you by your busy little ones. So, eat right, get your sleep and give yourself plenty of time to get to the airport early. Safe travels!

in a row?’ “The only thing I was doubtful about: he had never raced out of California,” Kershaw added. Greg Swersky said about his choice of California Chrome to win, “I knew nothing about the horse, I just liked the name. I picked it early this morning. I didn’t look at the odds.” Though saying he covered bets by his daughter, wife and mother

that weren’t on California Chrome, “I still cleared about $60,” Swersky added. Phil Dortch, another of the 10 California Chrome winners who said he cleared $104 with two winning tickets, simply compared odds. “I’ve never seen a race where you had one favorite and the rest of them were just terrible odds,” Dortch said.

A total of $620 was wagered with Champ Beeler facilitating the wagering but taking no profit. The Beelers, having hosted several Kentucky Derby parties at their former home in Willow Cove near Boyd Station Road in Concord in the late 1990s and early 2000s, got back into the swing of things this year. Jayne Sharp of Farragut had hosted the previous 10 Derby Day

parties. “It’s fun. I grew up in Lexington and horse racing’s always been a part of my heritage,” Champ said. “My father was a thoroughbred trainer. We never ran a horse in the Derby but we ran Derby Day.” “It’s been a blast, we’ve enjoyed it,” Karen Beeler said about hosting, adding their new home and picturesque setting “is a blessing.”

lively conversation and lots of Churchill Downs racing. About choosing California Chrome, considered the pre-race favorite to win with odds of 5-to-2, Kershaw said that horse “had won four in a row” in California races. “I just thought, ‘How could you bet against a horse that had won four

our teachers give their all to the school. We are such a tight-knit family, and I think it starts with strong leadership with Mr. Reynolds. I think the teachers are exceptional.” Jerry Martin, president of F HS Education Foundation Inc., said 18 teachers were nominated for the Golden Anchor Award by their peers. Winners were Valarie Cagle, Leslie Howe, Holly Kelly, Morgan Rutherford and Rachel Scalf. Stan Duke presented Angela Buckman and Matthew Milligan with the Tyler Duke Outstanding Educator Award and presented a donation to the school’s library. The staff recognized interns Will Scheuer, Lisa Agle, Jenna Solie and Katherine Widner, and retirees Martha Robbins, Alice Thornton, Leslie Howe, Becky Hill and Rachel King. On another note, students received the following:

best I’ve had in teaching,” Waldrupe said. “I’ve really enjoyed it.” Waldrupe has been teaching for 15 years, the last three of those were at FMS, he said. “After 28 years, I’m ready to go home,” Wynn said about retiring. However, he added, if he had it to do over again, he would teach

again. Wynn taught at Vine Middle School for 15 of those 28 years and Carter Middle before coming to FMS. For Bridges, retiring this year is bittersweet. “I’m looking forward to it, but I’m going to miss my students,” she said. Likewise, Kohlman said she had mixed feelings about retirement. “I’m going to miss the kids and

teacher friends here at the school,” she said, “After 40 years, I’m looking forward to doing something different. Recess forever.” “I’m looking forward to going home now,” Hill said. She added her father was in the Navy and was with IBM so her parents retired to Hawaii. “So I felt like a local Hawaiian,” she said. “Once I sell the house here, I get to go home

in Hawaii. That will be so nice.” But Hill added she will miss the students and her friends. Each of the teachers received a stone and flower arrangement as a parting gift while Kohlman was honored with the Tyler Duke Award. Stan Duke, a longtime supporter of Farragut schools, said his son, the late Tyler Duke, was about academics, church and athletics. Tyler came up through

• Cedar Bluff Farragut Optimist scholarship to Avery Blankenburg, Sarah Jackson and Jennifer Holt for softball; Harris Bolinger, Rebecca Jameson and Madison Maples, basketball, and Ryan Glintenkamp, football. • Lafayette and Pearl Hubbs Memorial Scholarship to Gillian Harris; • Ray Riley Memorial Scholarship to Amber Tran; • Ryan Shoup Memorial Scholarship to Ryan Glintenkamp; • Scott Impellizeri Memorial Scholarship for criminal justice to Kaitlin Foster; • Turkey Creek Sunset Rotary Club CTE scholarships to Lisa Bolt, Arturo Leon, Kelsey Hughes, Alexander Crateau and Christian Boone; • Bellamy Award to Kenneth Ye for his academic record, service and leadership; • Bob Dagley Award to Rebecca Jameson and Tess Waibel.

the Farragut Schools but died his senior year. “Today, we are recognizing teachers,” Stan Duke said. When Stan’s mother died in December of cancer, she left some money to the family’s foundation. Stan presented part of that to the school, in honor of Kohlman, to be used to create a new science lab at FMS.

Embroidery Boutique moving to Town June 16 ■

Photo submitted

Laurae Hathaway, left, and daughter, Debby Nohe, co-owner and general manager respectively, will be ready to serve Farragut residents soon as they prepare to move Embroidery Boutique by Designs for You to Farragut.

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Embroidery Boutique by Designs for You, owned by Laurae and Gary Hathaway, is moving from its Tellico Village location to 141 Brooklawn St., next to Kroger, in Farragut. “We are slotting the opening for Monday, June 16,” Debbie Nohe, general manager, said. A ribbon-cutting ceremony, to be conducted by Farragut West Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, is set for 11 a.m., Tuesday, July 15. Embroidery Boutique is a family-owned and operated monogram and embroidery company and gift store that provides digitized embroidery to create logos, Laurae Hathaway said. “We work with the different businesses, whether it be the medical field or schools, clubs,” she said, adding those logos can be placed on shirts, bags and any other apparel that can be embroidered. “We take pride in our high-quality, quick turnaround. We have in-house digitiz-

ing capability with over 25-plus years of experience.” Embroidered designs can be added to personal gifts. “What makes us different is you can bring in your own items to be embroidered. You don’t have to buy the stuff from us,” Nohe said. Embroidery Boutique was established 25 years ago as Designs for You in Boca Raton, Fla. “I never dreamed it would take off like it did,” Hathaway said. “I love what I do because you can take the simplest thing and embroider it, whether it be a design or a monogram, and it’s so much more personal than just buying something off the shelf.” The Hathaways brought the company to Tennessee almost 10 years ago, she said. Gary brings his sales and finance experience with IBM to provide in-house digitizing, backroom business and technical skills to Embroidery Boutique, and Laurae brings the embroidery experience she has developed since she was a teenager.
