BOMA OKsParkview Plazaadditional signs ■ TAMMY CHEEK
Dura-Line received thegreen light for two addi-tional signs on the five-story Parkview Plazabuilding in which the com-pany is located fromFarragut’s Board of Mayorand Aldermen during itsmeeting Thursday, July24..
A sign would be placedon each end of the five-story building at ParksideDrive.
After some discussionBOMA voted unanimouslyto amend its sign ordi-nance to allow the addi-tional signs.
“Initially, I was againstthe amendment but at theend of the day, I supportedit wholeheartedly,” Alder-man Ron Honken said,adding the signs’ squarefoot allowance would bedistributed among the foursigns.
Alderman Jeff Elliottasked about the impactthe change would have onother zones.
“What’s being proposed
is just on that zoning ordi-nance, but it could make itmore challenging if some-one were to want to makea change,” Mark Shipley,Community Developmentdirector, said.
Elliott asked the build-ing’s owner what hisrationale was for the twoextra signs.
“We have our nationalheadquarters here,” TimGrimsley with Dura-linesaid, adding potentialemployees and clients getlost trying to find thebuilding because they arelooking for a sign with thecompany’s name.
Mayor Ralph McGill saidhe did not see how addingthe signs would do anyharm and added he sup-ported the amendment.
Shipley said the VisualResources Review Boardreviewed the applicant’srequest in March and rec-ommended the FarragutMunicipal Planning Com-mission “pursue anamendment.” The Comm-ission voted 6-2 in favor of

Karen Carson, KnoxCounty School BoardDistrict 5 representative,hosted a community inputsession Tuesday evening,July 29, at West ValleyMiddle School to furtherexplain Knox CountySchools’ five-year strategicplan — a plan that led sev-eral of the 24 attendees to
bring a teacher’s perspec-tive into the mix.
“It saddens me that weare watching good, effec-tive teachers … leave.Have you talked to themon why they’ve left the sys-tem?” a parent asked.
“I think the job haschanged, and I thinkthere’s no denying that thejob has changed,” Carsonsaid.

tion that the schools run accord-ing to such responsiveness.
“This may be a small thing inpeople’s minds and maybenobody else thinks about it, butto me it’s huge the perception ofhow teachers feel, when you talkabout customer service … youdon’t run a school like a busi-ness. A business’s bottom line isprofit and a school’s bottom lineis people and an educatedchild,” Johnson said.
The frustration among educa-tors on teacher-retention rate isimportant to both the teachersthemselves and the County,according to Carson.
“I think we still want to keepand value excellent teachers,but I will say, the job haschanged … there are goals inthis plan that say it, you know; Ithink it’s 90 percent of it whenyou look at retention, we want tokeep 90 percent of our excellent
teachers,” Carson said.Despite the audience’s con-
cern with teacher retentionrates and serving them, Dr. JimMcIntire, KCS superintendent,reassured that the teachers arestill succeeding.
“I think what we know and seeis that our teachers are doing agreat job. The instruction thatwe are seeing in the classroom isreally quite good and quitestrong and I believe quite effec-tive,” McIntyre said.
Other concerns brought to themeeting included discussionthat the strategic plan does notinclude details on improvementsand the fact that any and allchanges will have to go throughfurther Board approval. How-ever, Carson reinforces that thisis a normal procedure.
“My belief when you write pol-icy … I tend to err on the broad-er rather than on every subject… everything could be [under]review,” Carson said.

When people talk about or ref-erence the town of Farragut, oneaspect that comes to mind is theTown’s historic commitment toplanning and building codeenforcement.
You can often tell that youhave entered the Town limits bythe looka n ddesign ofthe sig-n a g e ,landscap-ing, build-ing pres-entation,l ighting,and provi-sions forpedestri-an andb i c y c l efacilities.
W h e nthe Town was founded in 1980, akey objective was to provide fora community with well-planneddevelopments and responsivecode enforcement. This hashelped protect residential andcommercial investment and hasmade Farragut one of the fastestgrowing and most desirablecommunities in East Tennessee.
The Community DevelopmentDepartment oversees both plan-ning and code enforcement.Starting with a skeleton crew in
the early days of the Town, thestaff has grown with the commu-nity and now includes threebuilding inspectors, two profes-sional planners and two admin-istrative assistants. The depart-ment also oversees fire codeenforcement and contractsthrough Rural Metro for thisservice.
A major objective of Com-munity Development is to workwith both citizens and develop-ers, helping them understandthe purpose of the Town’s codesand ordinances and how thesedocuments assist them and ourcommunity. The department hasdeveloped numerous informa-tional brochures, checklists andillustrations to explain and sim-plify the building and remodel-ing processes. In addition, thedepartment periodically con-ducts training sessions andworkshops on a variety of topicsranging from stormwater andsite layout to signage, architec-tural design and landscaping. OnAug. 20, the Town’s codes staffwill partner with the EastTennessee Building OfficialsAssociation to bring a trainingsession on the 2012International Energy Conser-vation Code to New HarvestPark. This all-day training isbeing provided free of charge tolocal inspectors and design engi-

each other, we go to each otherwhen we need help, whetherthat’s instructionally toincrease our content knowl-edge or to improve our strate-gies we use in our classrooms,”Thompson said. “We use eachother as resources. We helpeach other, and I think that’swhat I came away with.
“Farragut is a family,” sheadded. “When we need eachother, everybody else is thereto help you.”
Growing up in Atlanta,Thompson and husband, Neil,and their four children movedfrom Ocala, Fla. — where shetaught for six years — to OakRidge “12 years ago.”
Also teaching one schoolyear at Halls High Schoolbefore her two at Farragut, “I
did have an extraordinaryopportunity to go to Austin-East, and I did take that. … Itwas an opportunity to growprofessionally,” Thompson saidabout her move to AEHS begin-ning with the 2008-09 schoolyear.
A “lead teacher” at A-E fortwo school years, Thompsonsaid, “I worked heavily withthe reconstitution andredesign for that school in theturnaround model, and thenbecame an administrator”there most of three schoolyears.
Thompson said her A-E expe-rience included a lesson in“really learning to look at ourdata and make decisions.”
“But I think what it will dohere is, [after] looking at that,[asking] ‘how do we makeFarragut greater that it is rightnow?’ … You’re constantly
looking for opportunities togrow and to improve,” sheadded.
“Farragut is extraordinary,their staff is extraordinary.”
Thompson “did receive apromotion during that fifthyear [at A-E] to go to CentralOffice as Federal Programssupervisor,” she said.
As supervisor, Thompsonsaid she assessed and advisedhow “several million federaldollars” could best be spentwithin KCS’s “more high pover-ty schools. I really worked hardto build relationships withthose principals and to supportthem in any way that I could.”
ThompsonFrom page 1A
• How ironic that a town thatis so protective of [its] signordinance, that has lost busi-nesses over [its] sign ordinance,that is “proud” of the way thetown looks because of its signordinance, allows it’s City Hallto look like a flea market ofpolitical signage. I guess thesign people get in their trucks,drive around Town picking upunauthorized signs and driveright by six, seven, eight signsPER CANDIDATE right undertheir noses.
• I’m just calling to say that Iwould like to read more lettersin the farragutpress from peoplewith MBAs and MPAs and fewerletters from wives touting theirhusband’s credentials. I thinkthe person who has the educa-tion in business and publicadministration has just as muchknowledge about the candi-dates’ qualification as someonewho is obviously talking fortheir spouse.

non-food beer, wine permits■ TAMMY CHEEK
Non-food businesses have anopportunity to sell beer and winein their establishments.
Farragut Board of Mayor andAldermen voted unanimouslyduring its meeting Thursday,May 22, to change its ordinanceon second reading to allow thoseestablishments to sell beer.
Those businesses will be in aClass 2-On Premises permit clas-sification.
Town recorder Allison Myerssaid the ordinance amendmentcame about after the Boardheard requests from a couple ofarea businesses. Two workshopsfollowed, ending in a proposedordinance change, which theBoard has approved on firstreading.
The amendments also includeadding a Class 4-On Premisespermit for establishments wherebeer is sold for consumption at atavern. The Board also revisedadult entertainment definitionsand restrictions of conduct oractivities.
No discussion followed theintroduction of the ordinance, soAlderman Ron Honken moved toapprove the changes.
Additionally, the Boardapproved unanimously on firstreading of the Town’s annual
budget. While the Board looks at
reaching the goals of its strate-gic plan, Town administratorDavid Smoak said, “Certainly, wewant to maintain our financiallysound government, which is a lotof what we are talking abouttonight.”
Revenues are projected at$8,278,501 and expenditures areprojected at $6,456,532. TheCapital Investment Plan for 2015-2016 projects total costs of$5,581,250 with the largest proj-ect being improvements toEverett Road from Union Road toSplit Rail Farm subdivision. Thisproject was estimated at$3,500,000.
“We have spent several hoursgoing over this in advance of themeeting,” Honken said.
Honken said he thought thesalary increase pool was heavy inlight of today’s economy.
“I would like to see us file thatback,” he said.
Honken also suggested in-creasing the contribution forNews Sentinel Open golf tourna-ment from $16,500 to $20,000, a21 percent increase.
“I agree we should, if we don’teliminate that [salary increase],we should decrease it substan-tially,” Alderman Bob Marklisaid.
Honken moved to approve the
budget with his suggestions,which was seconded by Markli.However, Vice Mayor DotLaMarche said she would likethe Town keep the 3 percentincrease for its employees.
On another matter, DebbiePinchock, a community repre-sentative with the CommunityHealth Council, said the Councilwill be working on: acting as aforum for discussing and coordi-nating communitywide efforts toimprove health outcomes andthe local health system function;acting as an advisory board tothe elected and appointed offi-cials, and helping become activein the goals and objectivesalready adopted for the localpublic health system.

FHS rebuilding; 4-AAA wide open? ■ KEN LAY
Correspondent
As the 2014 girls soccer seasonlooms there may be a changing ofthe guard in District 4-AAA, as allthree area teams have their eyeson a district championship.
Farragut, which has reachedthe Class AAA State Tournamentin each of the last three seasons,will be in a rebuilding mode afterwinning consecutive district andRegion 2-AAA Tournaments ineach of the last three seasons.
The Lady Admirals, who went19-3-3 last season, made threeconsecutive trips to the statetournament but didn’t comehome with the ultimate prize.They were eliminated in thesemifinals last season and lost sixstarters from last year’s squad,which dominated things aftergetting off to a sluggish start.
The Lady Ads were winless infour of their first seven matches(3-1-3). Farragut struggled tofind its shooting touch early. Butonce the Lady Admirals foundtheir offensive firepower, theywon 16 of their last 19 games.After a midseason 3-1 loss toGermantown Houston, Farragutreeled off 13 straight wins. Thatstreak ended in the state semifi-nals.
Hardin Valley Academyreached the sectional round lastseason and looks to have anotherstrong campaign in 2014.
The Lady Hawks went 19-3-1 in2013 and finished second in theDistrict 4-AAA regular-seasonstandings. HVA was the districtand region tournament runner-up.
Hardin Valley is one of the pre-season favorites this year.
“I think it will be a tight racebetween Hardin Valley, Beardenand Maryville,” longtime Farr-agut head coach Dennis Lindsaysaid. “And we should be in themix.”
Meanwhile at Bearden, theLady Bulldogs have a new coach,as Ryan Radcliffe takes the reins.Radcliffe is a former star playerfor the Bulldogs and a 2007Bearden graduate.
He replaces longtime coachEric Turner, who resigned lastspring after a successful run atthe school (two girls state titles).
The Lady Bulldogs went 13-6-1last season and finished third inthe district before being elimi-nated in the District 4-AAATournament semifinals.
Bearden is looking to recap-
ture its past soccer glory this season.
Farragut has been the mostsuccessful area girls program inrecent years and the Lady Adswill again get everybody’s besteffort.
“I think we realize that we losta lot of people and we know thatwe are going to have a hard sched-ule,” senior K.C. Ward, LadyAdmirals’ all-state midfielder,said. “We know that there aregoing to be a lot of teams who aregoing to come after us.
“I think we’re going to have avery testing year but I think we’reall a little excited to get to playwith some new people.”
Top returners at Farragut alsoinclude: Grace Sommi (sopho-more, defender); Kendall Clay(senior, forward); Jordan Fierley(junior, midfielder); Emma Jeter(senior, forward/defender) andNatalie Goetz (a senior defenderwho was the district’s Defender ofthe Year last season).
“It’s going to be tough this yearand some of the new kids and theyounger girls are going to have tostep up and replace some of thegirls we lost.
“It’s kind of a rebuilding year.”At Hardin Valley, Mike McLean
begins his fifth season as the LadyHawks’ head coach and he’s look-ing to build on last year’s success.
“It will be tough this year
because we’ll have two newcoaches in the district [atBearden and West]. It will betough because you don’t knowwhat they do,” McLean said. “Youdon’t know what to expect.
“We’re just going to add on towhat we did last year. We went tothe district final, the region finaland the substate final and we lostall three of those games.”
Top returners for the LadyHawks include: Taylor Bishop(senior, forward); Sierra Palmer(senior, defender); Gabby Powers(junior, midfielder); Tippany Patrick (senior, goalkeeper)and Rachel Lindsey (senior, midfielder).
Junior defender DominiqueRowe is a newcomer who will lookto make an early impact, accord-ing to McLean, who noted that hehas a talented freshman class.
“Our strength is depth,” hesaid. “We have a very talentedfreshman class. But right now, Ithink everybody is trying to findthe right chemistry.”
Bishop said that she’s eagerlyanticipating her senior season.
“I’m just really excited andready to go,” she said. “We knowthat every game is going to be
tough and we know that we can’ttake anything for granted.
“We can’t look at this being any-body’s rebuilding year. We have tobe ready to play every night.”
Lindsey agreed and noted thatlast year’s season-ending section-al loss in Kingsport left the teamwanting more.
“That [2-1] loss to Dobyns-Bennett will help us learn fromour mistakes,” she said. “We knowthat things will be tough this year.
“But we’re ready to go.”At Bearden, Radcliffe inherits
one of the county’s most success-ful programs and he acknowl-edged that Turner didn’t leave thecupboard bare.
“We’re fortunate to have a deepsquad,” he said. “In this district,you have to play the best.
“But I wouldn’t want it anyother way. Everybody knows thatthis is the best district.”
Bearden’s strength looks to beits forwards. The Lady Bulldogsreturn a trio of strikers that wereresponsible for most of its offen-sive production in 2013.
Senior Ashley Seltzer returnsalong with junior Casey Riemerand sophomore Taylor Frizen.
“We have three goal scorers
who are very creative strikers,”Radcliffe said. “They’re all cre-ative players and that’s what youhave to have with your strikers.
“You have to have playerswho can make something out ofnothing.”
Senior Alexa Saravi alsoreturns and will anchor Bearden’smidfield.
Key newcomers include fresh-man forward Ashton Glover andjunior defender Riley Strickland.
Bearden has made early post-season exits in each of the lasttwo seasons and Riemer is look-ing to change that.
“I’m just excited and I’m look-ing forward to the new season andI’m looking forward to the newcoach,” she said. “I think ourdefense is going to do well and weknow what we have to do.
“I’m looking forward to a goodseason and I’m looking forward togetting back to state.”
Seltzer added that if the LadyBulldogs play well things wouldtake care of themselves.
“We know what we have to doand we have to do it,” she said.“We have to play hard and wehave to worry about how we playand not who we play.”

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

Born without a left leg, SierraYounger’s life was spinning outof control at age 13 in Minn-eapolis, Minn.
“From years of teasing I justkind of got fed up with every-thing, and I just got so angrywith everybody,” said Younger,now an 18-year-old FarragutHigh School graduate whose lifewas changed, in the summer of2009, by attending AmputeeCoalition Paddy Rossbach YouthCamp. “… I just got so angryand depressed and just not real-ly fun to be around.”
When her prosthetist told herabout this five-day camp inClarksville, Ohio for childrenand teenagers, ages 10 to 17,with at least one limb amputat-ed, “I wanted absolutely noth-ing to do with it,” Younger said.“I was just so angry and madabout the fact that I was borndifferently, and that peopletreated me differently because Iwas born different.”
However, Sierra’s parents“put me on a plane” to Clar-ksville, and her life would neverbe the same.
“When I got to camp, every-thing had changed,” saidYounger, who is going back tothe camp this summer afterbeing chosen as its femaleintern. “Everybody was like con-fident and open and nice, andthey were thinking about thebest no matter what. They were

Susannah’s House is a branch ofCokesbury United MethodistChurch to serve the needs ofmothers and their prenatallyexposed infants recovering fromsubstance abuse. The programcalls for having a place for thesewomen and children to stay while
learning how to better themselves.When the old Wesley Housebecame available in downtownKnoxville along Dameron Avenue,Cokesbury decided it was time tomake the vision a reality, andFarragut and other West KnoxCounty residents were prepared tohelp.
“It was work. It was pure work …it was in pretty poor condition, andwe basically cleaned and paintedand replaced ceiling tiles and all theabove, so it was work, but it was acheerful work, and we are lookingforward to seeing the results,” Larry
Trent of Farragut said.He committed about two mon-

“I kind of lost interest in track-ing my hours … we just did whatwas needed until we got a lot ofthings done,” Trent said.

PART-TIME REPORTERSend résumé & writing samples to:
When my grandchildren wereyounger, I turned my home into asummer camp for them. Now mostare grown and too busy with theirown, big kid activities. It’s kind ofsad, but it’s all part of life. It justhappens, but I’ve got photos toremind me of the fun we had.
One year, my son’s two childrencame down from Seattle. Brooklynwas eleven and Jackie was eight.When they arrived, Brooklyn wasespecially clingy. She wanted to behugged a lot and often a hugwould last aminute ortwo. I knewthe reason;she’d beenaway at as o c c e rcamp thew e e kbefore andher momwas withher just onenight andthen theycame herefor theweek. Jack didn’t go to camp, sohe had been with his mom anddad and wasn’t in the least clingy.
It was interesting for me towork with Brooklyn’s “neediness.”I found that if I dropped every-thing when a hug was needed andI let her break the hug when shewas ready, the hugs got shorterand shorter as time went on. I feltlike a gas station and she was myconstant customer, needinganother fill up.
What was fascinating to me wasthat when Brooklyn got my fullattention on her time terms, she
was then happy to go do all thethings an eleven year old loves todo. It made me wonder how chil-dren who don’t get a lot of one-on-one time with their parents dealwith that lack of attention.
I admit we grandmas have theluxury of dropping everything andjust being with our grandchildrenand of course we have the privi-lege of SOG (Spoiling OurGrandchildren). The list of activi-ties at Camp Grandma wouldmake the social director on acruise ship green with envy. Wehiked, picnicked, swam in theriver, caught crawdads and letthem go, picked wild blackberriesand made a pie, had fresh Chinooksalmon at our neighbor’s home,rode bikes, read for quiet time andwatched zero television (a realchange for these two).
Two milestones: Brooklynlearned to sew (she made a pillow-case thanks to Gail Stone who sentme this wonderful link to a tutorial.Brooklyn had a friend over andwe went to a fabric store andthey picked out fabric and madea pillowcase to take home asa Camp Grandma souvenir.Here’s the link: https://www.youtu-be.com/watch?v=MrYWCma9wgM
The other milestone, Jacklearned to ride a bike.
Do you feel like a gas station?So, Miss Gas Station, make sure
your tank is filled up so your chil-dren can get filled up when theyneed to. I discovered throughyears of meditation and prayerthat whenever I get needy andthink I need something outside ofmyself, if I take a minute or twoand spend some time re-fillingfrom my own, God-given reservoir
of love, I cease to look for that loveoutside of myself. Someone said,the only reason we want anythingis that we think it’ll make us feelbetter. We can feel better by justbasking in our own ability to nur-ture ourselves. One of the greatestlessons I’ve learned is that we cantap into an inner source of lovethat is eternal. Here’s a prayer Iwrote that has always helped meto refill my tank.
I am in a peaceful lovingplace. All the love I can expe-rience is mine right now. All Ihave to do is be open andalert to accept this love that ismine. I let go of worry andfuss. I’m steadfast in refusingto listen to negative thoughts,especially from myself andfrom others who sabotagethis promise of love God hasmade to me. I declare thatpeace and love grace thishouse with its soothing pres-ence. In this moment, loverushes to me, enough to sharewith my family, my commu-nity, and my world. I’m notalone. My Creator is alwaysmighty in the midst of me. Ilove who I am, and I acceptDivine love which alwayshas and always will meet myevery need. My love cannever be denied me becausemy source of love comes fromGod, the indwelling essenceof my life.
All is well. Take care and thankyou for reading my article today.

Hardin Valley Academy hasanother reason to celebratethanks to Renee Bray, formercafeteria manager, who broughtthe Tennessee Best PracticeAward to the school.
The award, given by theDepartment of Education’s Foodand Nutrition Management, looksat schools statewide to decidewho provided the best options andservice.
And that is not all.Bray’s state award quickly
turned into a regional award pre-sented by the USDA, a completesurprise to the award winner.
“I knew I was nominated for anaward but I did not know what theaward was for,” Bray said.
I was actually sitting in a ballroom in a conference inNashville, Tenn., and opened thebooklet and was looking throughthe booklet that they provide andsaw it in the book, and that wasthe first time I realized that Iactually had won the award,” Braysaid.
Jon Dickl, Knox Country Schoolnutrition director, was caught offguard for the next award.
“As the booklet said, she was a
state winner, but they did notannounce that she was a regionalwinner until the conference. Weweren’t even aware that we hadwon the regional award until therepresentative from the USDAshowed up and announced thatwe had received that award,”Dickl said.
Bray’s participation numbers iswhat originally qualified her nom-ination for the state award, as HVAhad a 13 percent increase inbreakfast participation and 23.5percent increase in lunch partici-pation from the 2012-13 schoolyear to the 2013-14 school year,according to Dickl.
“Some of the things differentnow from the past is meetingthese students now where theyare … it is a very tech-advancedgeneration of kids, and we theywill text me,” Bray said.
“I had a gluten-free student —she would text me if she was eat-ing in the cafeteria that day … someeting them where they are intoday’s society was very impor-tant. Just the extra touches …they are all very little simplethings to do that take very littletime, but they just, kids rememberthose things,” she added.
Bray brought her 15 years ofexperience in the restaurant
HVA, Bray receive recognition for ‘Best Practice’industry and past work in KCSspecial education to make theHVA cafeteria into an award-win-ning facility for the past threeyears. The 2014-15 school year willprovide her with a new challenge,
though, as she moves to the L&NSTEM Academy to serve as cafete-ria manager. But she will alwayscarry her success at HVA wherevershe goes.
“It was absolutely phenomenal
[to work at HVA]. I could not haveasked for a better school, a betteradministration or a better staff. Imean, it was absolutely one of thebest three years of my life,” Braysaid.

they will come.’ It is built, and weare anxious to be able to see theresults of it. Getting it ready is atiny, tiny part, of course. It’s builtand now let’s do something withit,” he added.
Denise Douglas has spent themajority of her time designing theactual program the women whovisit Susannah’s House will experi-ence, so she too is anxiously await-ing its official grand opening.
“My biggest involvement hasbeen with program and contentdevelopment for what we plan ondoing with the moms moving for-ward,” Douglas said.
“I wanted to take my experiencesand say. ‘Listen ladies. You can makea difference. You can get yourself acareer,’ and to be a mentor for thesewomen and to empower them …you don’t need to rely on others. Youcan look at yourself and make thingshappen,” she added.
Mike Stevens, another WestKnox County resident and head ofvolunteers and contracting atSusannah’s House, has the samehumble spirit as the others. Nowthe owner of his own general con-tracting business, Stevens oncehad an office in the old WesleyHouse, so the decision to take onthe project was easy.
“I have a fairly long history withthe building. I worked for Wesley
House and Habitat for Humanity,so my office was in that buildingabout 25 years ago, so I’ve got areal love of that building and whatthey were doing,” Stevens said.
“Anytime someone was there Iwas there, so it’s thousands ofhours of subcontractors and com-munity volunteers that came inhere. I was amazed at the out-pouring of the church and peoplethat had heard about it and mytime commitment was fairly smallcompared to the amount of timeour church put into it,” he added.
