McKinnon gets nod todo Watt Road extension■ HEATHER BECK

[email protected]

Two major road projects currently are underway withinFarragut limits under the supervision of one contractor,Mark McKinnon Construction LLC.

The contractor has been working on the KingstonPike/Everett Road intersection for more than a year,expanding Kingston Pike from four lanes to five andinstalling a traffic signal at the dangerous spot.

That project is scheduled for completion in May.“They’re going to have two projects going on for the same

time briefly. They’re still on track for the May completionon Everett Road,” Town engineer Darryl Smith said.

Kingston Pike has been narrowed to one lane in eachdirection for months at that location, and Everett Roadhas been closed for the duration of the project.

McKinnon also recently began work on the Watt Roadextension and Old Stage Road improvements, which willextend Watt from its dead-end at Cool Sports Home of theIcearium to Old Stage, which will be widened from 14 feetto a two-lane road.

“November 15 is the completion date ... we were a littlesurprised it had such a quick turnaround, but they’re plan-

Town observes Black History Month■ ALAN SLOAN

Remembering the 14-year-old who inspired RosaParks to take a stand, kick-ing off the Civil Rightsmovement in 1955, was themain focus in FarragutTown Hall Sunday.

Emmett Till was brutally

murdered in Mississippi,roughly 100 days beforeParks sat down in the“white section” of a bus inMontgomery, Ala., in 1955.

“It most certainly wasthe chief catalyst for theaction of Ms. Rosa Parks,”said state Rep. Joseph E.Armstrong (D-District 15),featured speaker during

Farragut Folklife Muse-um’s annual Black HistoryMonth Special Present-ation Feb. 24 in TownHall’s board room.

“In recent weeks, thename Emmett Till hasbeen presented in thenews. ... The misuse of hisname by a young rapperserves as an example of

why we must maintain asteady program of teach-ing young people abouthistory in a way they canrelate to,” Armstrong saidof Emmett, a Chicagoteenager who, while visit-ing in Mississippi, was tor-tured and murdered after“whistling at a whitewoman.”

Armstrong quotedEmmett’s mother, MamieBradley, who wanted anopen casket at the funeraldespite her son’s “horriblydisfigured” face: “‘My son’scasket must remain open sothat all the world can seewhat they did to my child.My child’s story will be toldby all that view him.’

“An ordinary womantook an extraordinary stepin history,” Armstrongadded about Bradley. “Andthe whole world stood up.”

Farragut MunicipalPlanning Commissionpostponed a concept planand preliminary plat forSplit Rail Farm, a subdivi-sion planned for the for-mer site of Everett Hillsand Karastone Farms, atits meeting Thursday, Feb.21.

The postponement cameover the objections ofdevelopers Daniel Burtonand Matt Varney, ofFarmstead DevelopmentLLC.

“Every month is costingus money and we’re reallytrying to get to work,”Varney said.

“Time is money,” headded.

According to communitydevelopment director

Ruth Hawk, the applica-tions for concept plan andpreliminary plat wereincomplete.

Burton said, “I amunclear on exactly what weare missing. I thought wehad everything we wereasked to do.”

According to Burton andVarney, the issue with theconcept plan and prelimi-

nary plat was that thedevelopers were asking tobe relieved from therequirement to helpimprove Everett Road,which the subdivisionwould front.

Improving Everett Roadthrough a cost share withFarragut was a stipulationof the former developer ofEverett Hills, who partially

developed the site withrough roads and utilityinstallation before goingbankrupt.

“I think we all knowwhat the elephant in theroom is,” Varney said.

Mayor Ralph McGillsaid, “I think I can assureyou no one on our staff, noone sitting here, is notwanting to see this hap-pen.”

“We want to see some ofthose lots being sold. Noone here is negligent. It’salways in the details,” headded.

The developers saidthey’d completed a trafficstudy to prove their 48-home subdivision wouldn’tgenerate the traffic to war-rant improvements toEverett.

The FBI and IRS raided Service Provider Group in theParkside Plaza I office building in Farragut off ParksideDrive Thursday, Feb. 21.

Service Provider Group, an employee leasing company,moved into the space in 2011.

FBI spokesman Marshall Stone said details about theraid couldn’t yet be released.

“We will acknowledge that we’re there, obviously. The FBIand the IRS were present in Turkey Creek Thursday pur-suant to an ongoing investigation, but details about theinvestigation we can’t release at this time,” Stone said.

Service Provider Group shares the building with sever-al other tenants, and Stone confirmed none of those othertenants were targets of the raid.

“Because it’s ongoing, we really can’t say more than toacknowledge that it’s us and the IRS doing what we needto do to bring this investigation to a close,” Stone said.

According to its website, Service Provider Group, 11400Parkside Drive, offers risk management, insurance,employee benefit, human resources, technology andunderwriting services, as well as claims advocates, safetyengineers, bilingual representatives and client liaises.

That section of Everett isbelow Town standards for roads,with 9-foot lanes as opposed to12-foot lanes and no curb andgutter.

“You have this obligation, forbetter or worse, from this previ-ous developer and previousbank, agreements to improvethis road. Taking into accountyour change in density … you’restill on a substandard road,”Commissioner Noah Myers said.

“If you’re agreeable, I thinkthe Town is willing to work withyou, partner with you, but it willrequire some financial commit-ment from you to improve theroad.

“For this body to give you afree pass on this is going to bevery, very difficult. I have per-sonally participated in costshare projects with the town ofFarragut,” he added.

Town administrator DavidSmoak agreed, asking FMPC formore time to look over the devel-opers’ traffic study and come upwith a formula or agreement forcost sharing the cost of improv-

ing Everett — not only withBurton and Varney, but withfuture developers down the road.

“I think taxpayers would bewilling to take some of the bur-den … everybody benefits. Butyou’ll have to come to the table,”Myers said.

Varney said, “What we’re try-ing to understand is how wework with staff.”

Burton and Varney asked for“fair and consistent” treatment,but commissioners said they did-n’t have enough information toproceed with generating an equi-table formula for them andfuture developers at the meetingThursday night.

“The development itself, I’mexcited about,” Alderman RonHonken said.

“Everybody in here can agreethis is a substandard road. Morethan the traffic count, the issueis the road is substandard.

“I’m assuming before you pur-chased this, you knew about theroad,” he added.

“I was very aware of it. What Iwas not aware of were the facts,the other traffic data,” Burtonsaid.

Burton recommended the

Town should start impact fees todevelopers across the Board,particularly because Farraguthad other substandard roadsthat are “more pressing issues.”

Burton said, “We get it. Thereis a problem with funding roadimprovements within yourTown.”

Myers said he’d not support anacross-the-board impact fee, butwould support other options thatbring equity to who helps pay forimproving Everett Road.

“You’re exacerbating theissue. You’re exacerbating theproblem. If the developer antesup some money and the taxpay-ers ante up some money, we canget Everett improved soonerrather than later. That’s a win-win,” Myers said.

Honken moved to postponethe concept plan until the planwas complete, and Whiting sec-onded. The motion was unani-mously approved, with commis-sioners Rita Holladay andMelissa Mustard absent.Postponement of the prelimi-nary plat also was unanimouslyapproved, again with Honkenmoving and Whiting seconding.

Watt will consist of a two-lanestreet, plus center turn lane andisland, four-foot bike lanes and agreenway on one side and side-walk on the other.

Old Stage will be two 12-footlanes wide, plus four-foot bikelanes and sidewalk and green-

way. The road will be improved tothe Loudon County line, whereOld Stage will narrow to an 18-foot wide street.

Smith said construction on OldStage “will maintain access tolocal traffic at all times.”

“They may have lane closuresat times, and a lane closurewould require flagging traffic,”he added.

Kingston Pike traffic shouldn’tbe affected.

Students at 10 Knox County Schools could each own a personalized learning device, such as aniPad, left, replacing existing textbooks, no later than mid-fall of 2013-14 school year. That’s thegoal of Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., KCS superintendent.

Knox County Schoolseyes personal learningdevices in lieu of books■ ALAN SLOAN

[email protected]

A competition among 88Knox County Schools — withone-on-one technical learningadvantages for each student inabout 10 of those schools atstake — might be brewing byspring.

If Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr. getshis way, roughly 10 KCSschools would find each of itsstudents operating an elec-tronic personalized learningdevice, such as iPads, by thefall of 2013, eventually replac-ing most textbooks.

“We’d like to propose movingahead with taking on one-to-one technology on a smallscale. … Sort of have an inter-nal competition to identifyabout ten schools where wewill seek to secure theresources to provide instruc-tional technology on a one-to-one basis,” said McIntyre, KCSsuperintendent.

“Sort of make it a bit of acompetition and allow us toidentify ten schools that have areal passion and enthusiasmand have the capacity to imple-ment an instructional technol-

ogy initiative,” he added. As for the competition, “Ask

the schools to respond with anapplication that says, ‘Here’show we’d approach this imple-mentation, he’s what we thinkit could do for our students.Here’s the capacity we havewithin our building to makethis happen. Here’s the ways inwhich we are enthusiasticabout making this happen,’”McIntyre said.

After identifying “promisingapplicants,” McIntyre saidabout the remaining candi-dates, “We’d ask them to comeand do a brief presentationabout the content of theirapplication.”

Converting to PLDs “will bea lot of work,” McIntyre said.“There’s a lot to manage. … Wewant to make sure schools areready, that they have thecapacity and they’re excitedabout making this happen.”

As for how much this wouldcost and who would foot thebill, “We’re in the process ofdoing that analysis,” McIntyresaid. “That will be part of thebudget discussion we’ll havefor fiscal year [2013]-14.”

Timetable for the process,

should it become a reality, is“do the competition thisspring, seek the resources inthe budget developmentprocess this spring for thebudget that begins July 1, andbe up and running for imple-mentation this fall,” McIntyresaid. “… I’m not saying for thefirst day of school, necessarily,but that may be possible insome of the schools.”

As for desired distribution of

PLD-winning schools, “Forexample, it would be nice tosee elementary schools, middleschools and high schools,”McIntyre said. “It would benice to see schools from acrossthe county geographically. Itwould be nice to see schoolsthat have different levels ofsocioeconomic status in termsof population that they serve.”

Among Farragut area princi-pals whose opinions were

sought, Sallee Reynolds,Hardin Valley Academy princi-pal, said she needed to learnmore about the PLD competi-tion and seek input from herHVA staff before commenting.

Town releases ‘red light’ stats■ HEATHER BECK

[email protected]

Farragut saw a significantdrop in the number of citationsissued from its red light camerasystem from 2011 to 2012 — butthe cameras have helped solveother crimes, including a mur-der.

“The number of citations isdown almost 37 percent from the2011 calendar year, due to thechange in Tennessee state law in2011 that prohibits municipali-ties from citing violations tothose who run red lights by fail-ing to stop before turning righton red,” said Ben Harkins,Farragut’s traffic enforcementmanager.

In July 2011, a law passed bythe Tennessee legislature wasenacted, outlawing municipali-ties for ticketing drivers via cam-eras for illegally turning right onred, unless right turns on redwere banned at the intersectionentirely.

From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2012,the cameras recorded 6,804 inci-dents.

Farragut has red light cam-eras installed at the intersec-tions of Kingston Pike andCampbell Station Road,Kingston Pike and Smith Road,

Kingston Pike and ConcordRoad, and Campbell Station andParkside Drive.

“The traffic enforcement pro-gram averaged slightly morethan 11 citations per day, averag-ing less than three citationsdaily at each of the four moni-tored intersections. In calendaryear 2011, the average was justunder 18 citations per day,”Harkins said.

Of those incidents, 4,086 cita-tions were issued.

Farragut’s citations chargedrivers $50 for breaking the law.

According to the Town, 1,715incidents couldn’t be processedby the Town’s camera vendor,Redflex, because of technicalissues or lack of information.Harkins rejected 1,003 inci-dents.

However, Harkins saidFarragut’s cameras also werebeing used for law enforcementissues other than traffic cita-tions, such as murder.

“[Prosecutors] used the cam-eras to show the suspect’s vehi-cle and the victim’s vehicle goingdown in the direction of TurkeyCreek Road, and later theyviewed video showing the sus-pect’s video going up but not thevictim’s. It helped their time-line,” Harkins said.

A “shark” name was all picked out forStephan Christean Havrylyak’s bluePinewood Derby car, with a big blue finsticking up from his 5-ounce car’s “hood.”And razor sharp teeth painted in front.

Then came dad’s construction wound tosteal the thunder.

“We call it ‘Bloody Finger’ because I cutmy finger doing it,” said Stephan’s father,Roman Havrylyak, one of scores of parentsand Scouts on hand for 2013 Cub ScoutPack 12 Pinewood Derby, in FarragutChurch of Christ’s Family Life CenterSaturday, Feb. 16.

As for the car’sdesign for this 7-year-old first-year Cub Scout(Tigers), “We went to‘Sleeping With theSharks’ at Ripley’sAquarium [of theSmokies] with the[Cub] Scouts, so I want-ed to call it ‘SleepingShark’ originally,”Havrylyak added.

While also joined by Stephan’s mother,Alena, and his little sister, Sophia, 4,Stephan, 7, said the most exciting partabout building his “Bloody Finger” No. 4 carwas “painting it.”

Another exciting part was Stephan’s“Bloody Finger” finishing third amongTigers.

Collins Pearson, 9, Webelos I, was overallchamp (2.5960 seconds average start-to-fin-ish time) with his No. 54 car, in addition tofinishing first among Webelos.

Perhaps it’s no wonder, with his motherlisting several tips toward faster perform-ance.

“You want one wheel not to touch, it justreally helps the car go a little faster,” saidAimee Pearson, Collins’ mother and Pack12’s committee chair/membership. “Thegraphite on the wheels, a lot of people willsand the nails that hold the wheels on.They sand them so that they run smoother,have less friction.”

Meanwhile, another first-year PinewoodDerby participant, Will Saylor (Tiger), was“very excited about it … he was ready to go

do it right away,” said Brian Saylor, Will’sfather. “He’s been waiting around for thisfor months.

“They had a speed workshop in midJanuary, we came down here to the churchand they had band saws and things like that… And they had power sanders,” Brianadded. “They had stations all set up wherethey advise for designing your car, so youdraw it out on paper.”

Will chose an American Flag design forhis car, where, “Instead of painting the car,we got sort of iron-on skin type of stuff weused, like wallpaper,” his father said. “Thisis what he really wanted to use.”

In addition to overall champ, top perform-

Before long, “I found myself sit-ting there writing the word downtrying to figure out if I got it right,”added Sisco, also serving as thisyear’s emcee. “Very much a chal-

lenge. ... It’s fun. It’s a great expe-rience. It’s something different,you don’t see happening all overtown.”

Staci Wilkerson, vice presidentand Farragut branch manger ofJefferson Federal Bank who is Beeco-chair, said, “Its fun to see howchallenging and competitive theteams are, they really get into it.

There’s a huge differencebetween a drastic transformationand change that takes place asgracefully and gradually as ababy turns into a toddler. Butw h e nwe’re fedup withour oldways wetend towant ani n s t a n tand dra-matic fix.T h a t ’ sw h a ti m p a -tience isall about.T a k eweight forexample,we want the weight to come offfaster than we put it on. We getfrustrated with a loss of just onepound in a week, yet if we gaineda pound a week, we’d gain 50pounds in a year. I don’t knowanyone who’s done that and youprobably don’t either.

If you’re like me, you tend tohave that notion: All or nothingat all. When we want to getorganized usually we’ve come toa place where every room is lacedwith chaos. When we decide tofix our finances it’s when thepower’s been shut off or we max afew credit cards and sink intofinancial depression. When wewant to lose weight it’s usuallybecause we’ve let it go so longthat our pants hurt and we’rescared to get on the scale. We’renot like the frog that stays in thewater as it is heated to boilingand cooks to death, instead, weschlep along until we snap.

It’s after the snap that we typi-cally make the decision to dosomething. We rarely think to besomething. If you think, “I wantto be happy in my body,” or “I

want to be comfortable in myhome” or “I want to be debt free,”all those thoughts will cheer yourheart. If you’ve gained enoughweight to have it be a major prob-lem you probably barely know thehealthy, happy you that’s underthe fat. If you are overwhelmedwith the operation of running ahome and family you don’t knowthe peace that attends an organ-ized and smoothly runninghousehold. If you are afraid toopen your mailbox and your heartraces when it’s time to pay bills,you are missing the constant joyof being debt-free.

There is this beautiful placebetween all and nothing at alland I love that place. It’s calledgrateful patience. It’s incremen-tal progress and it takes beingpatient, kind and loving withyourself and celebrating thesmall stuff.

Be easy with yourself. Find aphoto of you when you were achild and when you look at it seeif you can imagine that child stillwithin you because she (he)is.How could you be mean, impa-tient or unloving to that littleone? Think how children enjoylife. I think we are meant to enjoylife and it should get better andbetter. You are in self-improve-ment mode or you wouldn’t bereading this essay. Celebrate thatdesire to be better and enjoy thein between of all or nothing at allas you become grateful andpatient on your way to a betterlife.

White’s Wine

Imagine if your state legislature,in a bid to protect mom-and-popbookstores, barred Amazon.comfrom shipping into your state. Or ifyour town council, worried aboutlocal dairy farmers, prohibitedg r o c e r sfrom sell-ing milk.Or if law-m a k e r sb a n n e dthe sale ofp o t a t ochips andc a n d ybars onS u n d a y sin aneffort toshrink ourw a i s t -lines.

Such moves would be infuriat-ing. But wine consumers face suchrestrictions daily.

A whopping 36 states prohibitconsumers from ordering winefrom out-of-state retailers. Elevenstates forbid residents from order-ing wine from out-of-state produc-ers. Seventeen ban the sale ofwine at grocery stores. Many pro-hibit Sunday wine sales.

Like virtually all America’sliquor laws, these prohibitionstrace their origins to the temper-ance movement. Today, these lawsharm consumers and serve no pur-pose beyond enriching specialinterests. Fortunately, the tideappears to be turning in the fightfor wine consumers’ rights.

When Prohibition was repealedin 1933, states were given theauthority to regulate the “trans-portation or importation” of liquorwithin their borders. At the insis-tence of a motley crew of interestgroups, states proceeded toimpose all sorts of rules.

A top priority was weakeningproducers.

Before Prohibition, many barswere owned by brewers or dis-tillers. Temperance advocatesblamed these bars for many illsassociated with drunkenness, andbelieved that keeping producersaway from direct sales would helpkeep people sober. Law enforce-ment, too, pushed to weaken pro-ducers, as during prohibition,organized crime controlled muchof America’s liquor supply.

Lawmakers answered thesecalls in one of two ways. Theyeither assumed complete controlover the sale and/or distribution ofalcohol, or they created a whole-sale tier — essentially, an artifi-cial middleman — to sit betweenproducers and retailers.

Studies indicate that state winemonopolies — especially at theretail level — result in fewerchoices and higher prices. Such

monopolies should disappearsoon. In November, Washingtoncitizens voted to privatize liquorsales. And in Pennsylvania, calls toprivatize the state monopoly aregetting louder.

Requiring alcohol to passthrough wholesalers also results infewer choices and higher prices.The wholesaling industry, natural-ly, profits from this system. So toprotect its profits, it’s friendly topoliticians — from 2006 to 2010,wholesalers spent more than $82million on state and federal cam-paign contributions and lobbying.This makes sense. Without a regu-latory structure that literallyforces producers to utilize whole-salers, many producers would cutout the middleman.

Fortunately, consumer supportfor this system has been waningsince the 1990s, when Americansstarted developing a taste for bou-tique wines and could find themonline. In January, New Jerseybecame one of the last states tolegalize direct-to-consumer winesales.

Most states continue to prohibitshipments from out-of-state retail-ers, but this could soon change. Inlate 2010, the Specialty WineRetailers Association asked theSupreme Court to chime in on aTexas law blocking out-of-stateretailers from shipping into thestate. The Court refused to hearthe case — thus cementing theTexas prohibition — but theSWRA’s effort generated enormousinterest and support.

Efforts to legalize supermarketwine sales also are gaining steam.These laws are kept in placethanks to lobbying from existingwine retailers, who like beingshielded from competition. In NewYork, Tennessee, Colorado, andelsewhere, consumers are bandingtogether to fight for the right topick up wine with dinner.

Bans on Sunday sales are yetanother relic of the temperancemovement — they were promotedto keep the Sabbath holy and pro-tect church-going business ownersfrom competition. But they don’tmake sense. Consumers should beable to purchase wine and beerevery day of the week.

The United States is the world’slargest wine-consuming nation.But many of our liquor laws areantiquated, and only supported bythe special interests that profitfrom their continuation. Wine con-sumers deserve a free market inwine.

Rotary hears from UT liaison


Don Bruce, Faculty Athletic Representative at The University ofTennessee, center, speaks with Bruce Williamson, president ofThe Rotary Club of Farragut, left, and Bill Nichols, new genera-tions committee co-director.


With a high percentage of col-lege football top 25-rankedschools from recent years alsofound in U.S. News & WorldReport’s “Top 25 PublicUniversities,” there’s hope forThe University of Tennessee.

That was the basic messagefrom Don Bruce, “Liaisonbetween athletics and academ-ics at UT” as Faculty AthleticRepresentative, pointing outthat his university rose from 50thin 2011 to 46th in U.S. News’most recent rankings.

Bruce’s evaluations and datacame as featured speaker duringThe Rotary Club of Farragut’sweekly meeting, Wednesday, Jan.30, in Fox Den Country Club.

Bruce referred to “UT’s Top 25Initiative,” the goal of which is toeventually crack U.S. News’ “Top25” list while maintaining topathletic programs.

Academic standards “are thesame for all sports, as they arefor all non-student-athletes,”Bruce said.

Academic Progress Rate, asmandated by National CollegiateAthletic Association, “Is basedon two things: retention and eli-gibility, those two things gohand-in-hand with our push tothe top 25. They’re the samegoals. We have to do better,”Bruce said.

“We’re making good progressin some of these areas, not quiteas good in others,” he added.“But we have a lot of folks payinga lot of attention to these things

and doing everything they can dowithin the university to move upin that realm.”

Bruce did not lay out any spe-cific plans to improve academicsuccess among UT’s football andmen’s basketball programs.

“I think we’ve had some chal-lenges in those areas, but I thinkwe’re improving. Not only interms of relative to our own his-tory, but relative to our own com-petition as well,” Bruce said.

However, “We’re not where weneed to be” in football and men’sbasketball comparing graduationrates and grade point averageversus most other SoutheasternConference universities, headded, pointing out three SECuniversities in U.S. News top 25

list: Florida No. 17; Georgia, 22ndand Texas A & M No. 24.

Comparing Bowl Champio-nship Series football rankingsand academic success, “All buttwo [U.S. News] top twenty-fivepublic universities in the UnitedStates that compete in BowlSubdivision football [major col-lege] have been in the top twen-ty-five in the BCS at least oncesince 2001 [through 2011 sea-son],” Bruce said.

After laying out all data, Bruceadded, “In other words, if some-body tells you we can’t be a top25 public research universitywithout sacrificing football per-formance, they don’t know thedata.”

‘Amelia Bedelia’author visits CCS


Michele Donnelly, Concord Christian School librarian, left, plays“Amelia Bedelia” as Herman Parish, “Amelia Bedelia” author,speaks to CCS kindergarten-through-third-grade students in theschool’s 4 Kids Theater.


Carrying on his late aunt’s cre-ation, the nationally famous chil-dren’s books “Amelia Bedelia,”with similar style yet giving thecharacter a newfound childhood,Herman Parish shared his familystory in Farragut recently.

Dropping by Concord ChristianSchool Wednesday afternoon,Feb. 13, Parish informed andentertained roughly 250 kinder-garten-through-third-grade stu-dents for about one hour in CCS’s4 Kids Theater.

Reflecting on Amelia Bedelia,“Now she’s been around for fiftyyears,” said Parish, whose aunt,Peggy Parish, published her firstof 12 Amelia Bedelia books“when I was in the fourth grade,way back in 1963.”

Following Peggy’s death in1988, Herman said he eventuallytook up the Amelia Bedelia torchand resumed the series in 1993,with his first book published in1995.

Amelia, an inept housekeeperfor the Rogers family, “takeseverything literally,” Hermansaid — looking for a dining forkwhen told, for example, to turnright at the fork in the road whendriving — setting in motion thebook’s series of lighthearted acci-dents and adventures.

On the brink of being fired, astold in Peggy’s first Amelia book,“that’s a very important pie,because that’s the only thing thatsaves her job,” Herman tells thechildren, as the sketch of Amelia

with her pie is shown on two the-ater video screens.

Asking the children what typepie Amelia baked, one boy stoodup and correctly answered,“lemon meringue pie.”

Using those video screens,Herman illustrated variousAmelia stories with characterdrawings/illustrations from thebook, keeping the children alertwith constant laughter.

Having started a series in 2009capturing Amelia’s childhood“milestone events,” currentlytotaling 11 books — “YoungAmelia Bedelia” — Herman cur-rently has published 27 Ameliabooks overall.

His next “should be out in thefall,” Herman said.

Herman’s latest work, part ofthe classic series, in whichAmelia becomes a waitress, “waspublished on the 29th ofJanuary,” he said.

Helping entertain the childrenwas the sudden appearance —roughly midway through thepresentation — of a real lifeAmelia Bedelia from the the-ater’s rear.

Michele Donnelly, CCS librari-an, played Amelia to the chil-dren’s delight, “dusting” variouschildren and a few CCS teacherswhile making her way towardHerman in front.

Saying he’s constantly on thesearch for story ideas, “I carry alittle notebook with me every-where I go,” Herman said,adding, “I just used an idea in a

Ashlyn Hodges. Farragut Middle School eighth-grader, joins Lana Needham, her FMS advanced artteacher, with all four winning works of art during 2013 FMS Art Show reception in Town HallTuesday, Feb. 12. Ashlyn’s own third-place batik work, lower left, is alongside Best in Showawardee, seventh-grader Keerthi Kumar’s drawing, second from right; eighth-grader JuwaanJefferson’s first-place abstract marker portrait, far right, and seventh grader Shayne Miller’s sec-ond-place portrait drawing, top left.

FMS artists recognized■ ALAN SLOAN

[email protected]

Creating an “Avatar” headtotally out of plaster, AshlynHodges’ sculpture was one of justsix such works of art amongroughly 150 — several mediums,including shaving cream, includ-ed — during 2013 FarragutMiddle School Art Show recep-tion Tuesday evening, Feb. 12.

However, it was Ashlyn’s batikcanvas landscaping work, a wax-and-dye combo — considered anadvanced art medium — thatearned her a third-place ribbon($50 certificate to Jerry’sArtarama), as four top workswere recognized during thisweek-long exhibit of a Farragutschool in Town Hall’s rotunda.

Sponsored by Farragut ArtsCouncil, FMS Art Show workswere available for viewing inrotunda during Town Hall busi-ness hours Feb. 8-13.

“I just like doing landscapes,and I thought that was a cool

design to do,” said Ashlyn, anFMS eighth-grader in LanaNeedham’s advanced art classwho, supported by several familymembers, was the only winnerable to attend the reception.

Another Needham student,eighth-grader Juwaan Jefferson,captured first-place honors ($100certificate) with “AbstractPerson,” a portrait created inmarker.

With FMS Eighth-GradeOrchestra playing above therotunda, all four FMS winnerswere announced during thereception. That also includedBest In Show winner KeerthiKumar ($150 certificate), a sev-enth-grader, whose color pencildrawing was entitled “BirthdayPark,” and second-place winnerShayne Miller ($75 certificate),also a seventh-grader, whosecolor pencil drawing was named“Portrait of a French Nerd.”

Both are students of FMS artteacher Gwendolyn Johnson.

Keerthi “spends a lot of time

on her work, and she’s willing totake criticism about what sheneeds to do to make it better,”Johnson said. “And that counts alot when they’re willing to fixtheir problems and spend timeon it.”

Needham said about Juwaan’sabstract portrait, “I like them todo a little abstract, so they canget out of their comfort zone andbuilt their art skills.

“Juwaan’s improving every sin-gle day; I think he’ll do well inhigh school,” Needham added.

About Shane’s success, “He’llgo back and do what you tell himto do to make his picture better,”Johnson said. “Spending time onit, correcting what he needs todo.”

Needham said Ashlyn’s batik“is not common” on the middleschool level, “but they do it at theuniversity levels and the highschool levels, so I bring my kidsup to that level. I want them to

Is this a

Oak Ridge models changes to boost economic development

after Farragut initiatives


It’s no secret that many of Farragut’s resi-dents are employees or retirees of theDepartment of Energy, Oak Ridge NationalLaboratory and UT-Batelle facilities in OakRidge.

It’s no secret their money — the DOEreportedly pays $727 million to Oak Ridgeemployees who live outside of Anderson andRoane counties — helps fund Farragut’sroughly $7.5 million budget, and that it con-tributes to Farragut’s status as a city withhighest disposable income in the state.

But is it a contributor to a 2012 The BeaconCenter of Tennessee report ranking cities inbusiness friendliness, in which Farragutranked third of 50?

The Beacon report ranks Tennessee cities ineconomic vitality, community allure and busi-ness tax burden. Farragut has held the num-ber one spot two of the last seven years, theonly city to hold the top spot twice.

Farragut’s economic development growth isnotable: according to Town administratorDavid Smoak, the Town has seen an estimated37 percent growth in retail activity during therecession, outpacing the national rate of 12percent.

And Oak Ridgers are taking notice.“Farragut is eating our lunch in every possi-

ble way,” said Oak Ridge City CouncilwomanTrina Baughn in a column that ran on her web-site, www.trinabaughn.com/

The column supports initiatives taken byOak Ridge city manager Mark Watson to makemajor changes to the city’s economic develop-ment program: to distribute economic devel-opment costs directly from the city’s generalfund, to make funding for economic develop-ment activities contract-based and measura-ble, and to outsource community events andfestivals to community groups through spon-sorships.

“From a retail standpoint, we have beenwoefully slow. We’ve taken a number of initia-tives to see how we spend money,” Watsonsaid, adding the new economic developmentinitiatives likely would be implemented duringthe city’s upcoming budget cycle.

All of these changes to the way Oak Ridgedoes business are notably similar to howFarragut operates.

“I think the town of Farragut, like any othercity, is always looking for peer communitiesthat may be good at certain areas to sort ofemulate them. You don’t have to start fromscratch,” Smoak said.

“We’re glad to help any way we can. It’s

always good to work together on these kinds ofthings, and we’re in the same region,” headded.

Farragut contracts with Farragut West KnoxChamber of Commerce and Farragut BusinessAlliance, partially funding both entities inexchange for concrete returns on investment.The two entities run many any of Farragut’sbest-known community events, includingTaste of Farragut, Art in the Park, Red White& Blues and the Farragut Fall 5K.

Oak Ridge also would start an internal, staffeconomic development team. Farragut has aneconomic development committee consistingof community volunteers.

Is Farragut cheaper?

“Economically, Oak Ridge is suffering,”Baughn said in a phone interview, and much ofthat she attributed to Oak Ridge employeeschoosing to live — and spend their money —elsewhere.

And they’re doing that because Farragut isless expensive.

Or so she says.“With no debt, property taxes or expense to

lure in businesses, Farragut is winning the

economic development game byspending less,” Baughn, who waselected in November 2012, wrotein her column.

UT-Batelle employee and for-mer Farragut alderman TomRosseel disagreed.

“They face a totally separate setof issues,” he said of Oak Ridgeand Farragut.

Farragut has long been per-ceived as a bedroom communityto both Knoxville and Oak Ridge,and Farragut is a limited serviceTown in comparison to Oak Ridge.

Farragut does not operate aschool system, fire or police pro-tection program, or waste or recy-cling collection services.Farragut’s budget is largely com-prised of Sales Tax receipts, usedto construct parks, greenways andsidewalks and to maintain andimprove roads. The Town does notpay its elected or appointed offi-cials and uses citizen volunteercommittees to run economicdevelopment initiatives, beautifi-cation, school outreach and parksand athletics efforts, and even theFarragut Folklife Museum giftshop.

Oak Ridge pays to operate aschool system, fire and police pro-tection, waste collection andrecycling, all in addition to parksand rec and road maintenance.

“It’s an apples to oranges com-parison,” Rosseel said.

According to Rosseel, Farragutoften is seen as a preferable placeto live because of its easy access

to Knoxville, McGhee TysonAirport, The University ofTennessee and downtown — inother words, because it is part ofa larger metropolitan area.

“Not because Oak Ridge is defi-cient,” Rosseel said. “It’s abouteasy access.”

But Baughn dis-agreed.

“It is apples toapples. We’vepriced ourselvesout of considerationsight unseen for a lotof people,” she said,citing Oak Ridge’s $2.39property tax and $200 milliondebt.

Farragut has no debt, no prop-erty tax and only a small, one-time business tax — a $15 fee fora business license, enacted in2012.

Is Farragut winning?

“Our direct competition is rightin our back yard and, unlike OakRidge, they aren’t focused onplaying nice with others for thesake of ‘regionalism,’” Baughnwrote in her column.

And that is somewhat true.For better or worse, Farragut is

rarely perceived as a player inregional economic developmentinitiatives, whether by its ownchoice or by a dismissal from oth-ers.

Farragut, for instance, is theonly municipality in five countiesnot an active part of InnovationValley, a regional marketing ini-tiative managed by the KnoxvilleChamber, although that’s not nec-

essarily for lack of trying.Alderman Ron Honken and

Smoak have both expresseddesire to join Innovation Valley,and Farragut’s elected officialsrecently have sought better rela-

tionships with regional part-ners/competitors

in econom-i cdevel-

opment,i n c l u d i n g

other municipali-ties such as Knoxville or KnoxCounty.

Farragut Mayor Ralph McGillhas implemented regular meet-ings between the three mayors inKnox County to try to improvecommunication between the enti-ties. Farragut also is a participantin PlanET, a regional partnershipof municipalities in Knox, Blount,Anderson, Loudon and Unioncounties designed to build a long-term plan for future investmentand development in the area.

And those are not the onlychanges to economic develop-ment initiatives Farragut’s maderecently.

Almost every program OakRidge wants to mimic — includ-ing the creation of the BusinessAlliance and EconomicDevelopment Committee, com-munity events managed by out-side groups and contractual obli-gations in exchange for funding— are recent inventions, meantto reverse Farragut’s business-unfriendly perception.

CompetitionFrom page 1B

But Smoak points out thatFarragut isn’t a typical regionalplayer.

“We do economic developmentdifferently than a lot of cities do,”Smoak said.

“Oak Ridge is obviously in anarea where they have a

large daytime work-force population,whereas we don’tnecessarily havethat. We rely onSales Tax dollars,

and that’s our area offocus: retail growth.

“We are a little differentwhen it comes to that, and I thinkwe realize that. The efforts of our[Economic DevelopmentCommittee] and our Board arereally focused on trying toimprove our retail strengths,” headded.

Still, Smoak said regionalinvolvement is important.

While Farragut’s 16-square-mile borders might not have roomfor a large, daytime employer, alarge employer locating in thearea might have employees wholook for a place to live and shop.

“We are trying to think outside

of just our borders.“We are not necessarily going to

be a huge workforce developmentarea, but if Alcoa or Maryville orOak Ridge or West Knox Countygets a major employer ... we knowthat’s going to impact us becausethose people will live somewhere,will need services, will need con-venient living. And I think wehave all that in Farragut, andgreat education,” Smoak said.

“Today’s Board of Mayor andAldermen is committed to work-ing with other entities — the Cityof Knoxville and Knox County andother cities around us — to learnfrom and work with them, be it inthe area of economic develop-ment or anything else,” he added.

“When I left the field [inMurfreesboro last season] I wasjust upset,” Farragut seniorpitcher and outfielder Cameron“Jammer” Strickland said. “Wehave a big senior class and wejust want to finish strong.

Renegar said he’s looking forsome key newcomers to fill thatvoid, including Dylan Harris (afreshman) and Trey Branaum (ajunior), who both will play in theoutfield this season. SophomoreMatt Turner (an outfielder) andfreshman utility player TylerThompson will join the team thisseason. Thompson can pitch andplay in the outfield. He can alsoplay second, third and short.

Anthony Gambuzza said he’sready for the upcoming season.

“We want to get over that humpin the regionals,” he said. “We’vekind of known that we’ve had atarget on our back for a while.

“We lost a lot of power butwe’re still going to hit the ballhard and we have a real strongbelief in this team.”

Weiler said he hopes the team’ssuccessful trend continues as thenewcomers find their respectiveplaces.

“We’ve got a lot of freshmenand sophomores who are going tostep up,” he said. “We have a real-ly good pitching staff and we havesome potential.”

It was Bearden that endedHardin Valley’s season last year.From there, the Bulldogs (35-14in 2012) beat Farragut to win the

Region 2-AAA title. Beardenreached the state championshipgame and lost to Arlington.

Bearden has a new head coachthis season, as Rice comes toWest Knoxville after spending thelast eight seasons as Karns.Former head coach Jack Tate isan assistant on Rice’s staff.

Rice and his team both knowthat things won’t be easy, as theBulldogs look to replace someelite pitchers that graduated lastspring.

“Getting to the state tourna-ment is always your goal,” seniorcatcher Jordan Wall said. “I’mvery confident in our seniors andI’m ready to make a run.

“We lost some great pitchersbut I have confidence in the newguys. Coach Rice has done a goodjob with our pitchers.”

Wall provided some clutchoffense in the Bulldogs’ postsea-son run last year. Other keyreturners include: Chris Pritchett(senior, first baseman); ZackMessing (senior, shortstop); TylerMazrimas (senior, second base-man); Avery Quillen (junior, thirdbaseman/designated hitter);Lane Thomas (junior, centerfielder/pitcher); ConnorCameron (a sophomore outfield-

man/pitcher); Nico Mascia(sophomore, catcher); AlexSchuettler (senior, infielder/out-fielder); Landon Foody (junior,catcher/infielder); David Logan(senior catcher and first base-man/third baseman); JakeApplegate (junior, outfielder);Roy Mutta (junior, pitcher/out-fielder); Eric Lessig (sophomore,pitcher); Patrick Raby (sopho-more, pitcher and first base-man/third baseman); BrettHagenow (senior, catcher);Anthony El Chibani (senior, out-fielder) and Carson Strickland(sophomore, pitcher/infielder).

That solid veteran group willbe joined by a talented cast ofnewcomers including: ChaseFullington (sophomore, infield-er); Duncan Pence (freshman,infielder); Cole Morgan (fresh-man, catcher); Tanner Thomas(freshman, outfielder); AustinStapleton (junior, pitcher); SamSchulze (junior, infielder) andReed Schneider (junior, infield-er).

Meanwhile at Hardin Valley,Kirk Renegar opens his fifth sea-son as Hawks head coach. HVA,which will depart for District 4-AAA in 2014, would like nothingmore than to win a third consec-utive district championship andleave on top.

The Hawks, who went 23-13last season, certainly have thepotential to be in the mix alongwith Powell, Halls, Oak Ridgeand Karns.

“I’m excited about our team,”Renegar said. “We have thepotential to be a really goodteam.

“These kids have all workedhard. The ability for our team isthere and we’ll get better as wego. We go about it the right way.We have the right mindset everyday.”

Top returners include: TommyWeiler (a senior pitcher wholooks to close out a stellar highschool career. This left-handerhas started, pitched in middlerelief and saved some crucial vic-tories for Hardin Valley): WillNeely (a sophomore pitcher whowon the district championshipgame last year and has alreadycommitted to The University ofTennessee and will see time inleft field this season); SullySmoak (junior, catcher);Anthony Gambuzza (junior, cen-ter fielder); Ian Pung (sopho-more, third baseman); Seth Hunt(sophomore, shortstop); VinnyGambuzza (sophomore, secondbaseman); Zach Sears (sopho-more, first baseman); DrewCornwell (senior, designated hit-ter); Garret Butler (senior, pitch-er) and Cole Brill (senior, pitch-er).

The Hawks lost significantfirepower last season and

er, who can play both right andcenter) and Elijah Helton (junior,outfielder).

On the mound, Bearden mustreplace Zach Sale and RonnieBroyles and others, but Rice feelshe has some guys ready to takethe ball when called upon.

“Bearden lost seventy percentof their wins on the mound lastyear,” Rice said. “The truth is thatthis is the toughest district in thestate and I’m interested to seehow these guys play with a targeton their backs.

“They’ve never had to do that.Matt and those guys at Farragutare used to doing that all thetime. We have to replace a lot ofpitching. We have Brandon Black.Lane will obviously be one of ourtop starters. We have a couple ofyoung left-handers in NickMonaco and Nick Adkins andwe’re hoping that those guys canboth have a good year.”

Pritchett said, “If we can throwstrikes and limit our errors, wehave a good chance to get back tothe region.”

POWELL — For the secondconsecutive year the FarragutHigh School boys basketballteam saw its season come to an

end in theRegion 2-A A Aquarterfi-

nals at Jeff Hunter Gymnasium.“Powell is a good team,”

Admirals coach Chris Cool saidafter watching his team drop a60-44 decision to the PanthersSaturday night before a packedand boisterous house. “Theywere 23-3 and 15-1 in their dis-trict and that’s great.

“We played Powell in the sec-ond game of the season and Iwatched that film [Friday] and Iwas laughing because we’ve got-ten so much better. We were ter-rible in that game and we onlylost by seven.”

DeMarcus Martin, Admiralssenior, scored a game-high 26points in his final high schoolgame.

Farragut (16-16) lost lastyear’s regional quarterfinal whenPowell’s Dallas Fields hit abuzzer beater from beyond half-court.

The Panthers (24-3), however,wouldn’t need any late-gameheroics this time. Powell startedfast and opened a 13-8 lead bythe end of the opening frame.and extended its advantage to27-15 by halftime.


Twenty-one may be a luckynumber for Farragut High Schoolgirls basketball, but it’s a numberthat’s gotten shaved quickly oflate. In big games.

For the second straight hugegame, the Lady Ads saw their 21-point second-half lead cut dan-gerously close.

In Farragut’s win-or-end-sea-son Region 2-AAA quarterfinalshowdown against No. 4 3-AAAtourney seed Hardin ValleyAcademy, the Lady Hawks (20-11) rallied mainly by applyingextra defensive pressure. An 18-2run closed a 33-12 deficit to 35-30after a Kristin Lane free throwwith 4:29 to play.

But Farragut, District 4-AAAtourney and league champ whoalso blew a big lead in the tour-ney title game versus Beardenbefore holding on late, onceagain held on. The Lady Ads won41-30 in FHS’s Lynn E. SextonGymnasium Friday, Feb. 22.

The Madison wings, MadisonMaples and Madison Blevins,each scored 12 to lead Farragut

(27-3 record after the win). “We wanted to come out strong

for this game. It was big. We justheld them on defense,” Maplessaid. “When we couldn’t score on

o f f e n s e ,on ourpress wewould just

steal it away from them.” Smothering defense — espe-

cially on the perimeter andincluding FHS senior point guardWhitney Smith among others —forced numerous full-court pressand half-court Lady Hawksturnovers in the first half.

Outscoring Hardin Valley 13-2in the second quarter, the LadyAdmirals led 27-12 at halftime.

Rebecca Jameson, Farragutjunior post, said, “We came outreally aggressive, especially inour press, and that was effective.We knew going into this gamethat defense was going to win it.”

About HVA’s rally, Maples said,“I just think on offense we could-n’t make a shot.”

Kayla Carey, Lady Hawks sen-ior post, and Brooklyn Battle,sophomore wing, each led thevisitors in points with eight.


Bearden High School’s basket-ball teams both came away withRegion 2-AAA Tournament victo-ries last week. The Bearden boysrouted Halls 71-54 Saturdaynight at BHS. The Lady Bulldogsprevailed 53-36 over Oak RidgeFriday night at home on Friday.

In Saturday’s boys regionalquarterfinal, the Bulldogs (26-4)got defensive against the RedDevils.

“We played hard but it wasn’tpretty,” Bearden head coachMark Blevins said. “Of course,our games haven’t been pretty.You just never know what we’regoing to do.

“But we played hard and weplayed well defensively. We hadto make adjustments every timethey made a substitution. Ourdefense won the game for us, our

offense didn’t.”The coach was obviously disap-

pointed with his squad’s offen-sive execution, but the Bulldogs

did manu-f a c t u r ee n o u g hoffense to

come away with a key win in anelimination game.

Brady Smith scored 23 pointsand pulled down 12 rebounds.Sam Greene added 16 points andgrabbed 10 boards. AdariusWilson finished with 14 pointsfor Bearden, which also hit 21 ofits 25 free throws.

“That’s one thing we did do,”Blevins said. “We hit our freethrows.

Red Devils senior guardStetson Moore, son of Hallscoach Randy Moore, scored 21points in a game that was a bit-ter-sweet victory for Blevins.

“I’m just sorry that it was us

that had to put an end to thatfather-son combo,” Blevins said.“This time of year, it’s hard foranybody to lose. But it’s especial-ly hard in a situation like thatand unless you have had a sonplay for you, then you don’t knowhow that feels.”

On Friday, the Lady Bulldogsimproved to 22-8 despite a slug-gish start. Bearden trailed 10-7after the opening quarter butdidn’t stay behind for long.

Junior guard Erin Walsh wasquiet in the opening frame. She,

however,a n n o u n -ced herpresence

in the second stanza, scoringhalf of her game-high 22 pointsin the quarter.

Walsh’s offensive explosionkeyed a 15-3 run for the LadyBulldogs, which made the score22-13 at halftime.

Hannah Cornelius, HVA seniorforward, said about her team’srally, “We just put more pressureon them on defense. And we justdidn’t give up at halftime. Weknew we could still come back.”

About falling behind by a widemargin, “We just couldn’t handle

the press at first,” Cornelius said.“We weren’t taking our time onour passes, and we couldn’t han-dle the press at first. Once wesettled down a little bit, we han-dled it better.”

(Region semifinal and finalrounds after deadline).

Chanler Geer, Bearden’sfreshman forward, finished with16 points.

“We started to get some confi-dence in the second quarter,”BHS head coach JustinUnderwood said.
