Wiser takes onWitt for Register
of Deeds job■ ALAN SLOAN
Independent candidate Don-ald M. Wiser is making a uniquepledge in his bid to become KnoxCounty Register of Deeds — inaddition to his pledge to servejust one four-year term.
If elected in his campaign ver-sus Republican incumbentSherry Witt, Wiser said he would“just pack my bags up andresign” after two years if failingto get a referendum to vote onchanging the county Charter:combining the Register ofDeeds, Property Assessor andTrustee offices into one a“money-saving” office.
Also part of that referendumto change the charter, Wiseradded, is to make this combinedoffice a Human Resourcesappointment and not an elected“political” position.
“I think I can get it on theCharter in two years, to do whatI want to get done,” said Wiser,a United States Navy veteranwho served 24 years as KnoxvillePolice Department officer.
Unless, “People decided tokeep the old antiquated ways,”he added.
Witt has been Register ofDeeds since being appointed in2007. She won a special elelctionin 2008, then was elected to herfirst full term in 2010.
“You don’t want the same per-son that is setting your tax rateto be collecting your taxes,” Witt,serving in her 30th year as anemployee in that office, said. “…They are separated for a reason,and that works not only inTennessee but across the coun-try. … Working up here all theseyears has given me a better

I am writing this letter toencourage those of you on thesouthside of Kingston Pike(Ward II), to vote for and electRon Pinchok your alderman. Ihave known Ron and Debbie for20 years (worked with Debbie formost of that time) and havefound both to be hardworking,civic-minded people.
Their three sons are graduatesof the Farragut school system aswell as The University of Tenn-essee.
Ron has proven to be an hon-est, hard working and energeticpublic servant with his work inthe community as a volunteer forthe Town’s Parks and RecreationCommittee. He has also volun-teered for the EconomicDevelopment Committee forover two years, and recently waselected chairman of the EDC.
Ron is quite interested inworking to find ways to fill allthose large empty retail spaces,as well as finding use for themany vacant buildings in ourcommunity that are quicklybecoming eyesores.
Ron is also for a more businessfriendly community and wants tochange the perception to a morepositive attitude about Farragutand private business. Our mainsource of revenue comes fromSales tax dollars which we needto fund all of the wonderfulthings we want to accomplish for
our community including possi-bly a community center as wellas expansion of our parks andgreenways. We need these andthey need us — and we reallyneed Ron Pinchok.
Remember, early voting beganJuly 18, with election takingplace on [Thursday] Aug. 7.Please join me in supporting andelecting Ron Pinchok our alder-man.
Jane FosterFarragut
Pinchok asks for votesFor those of you who have
been supporting me and helpingwith my campaign I want to pub-licly thank all of you. For those ofyou who do not yet know me, Iam a 26 year resident ofFarragut. I raised three boys inthe Farragut schools and allthree are graduates of TheUniversity of Tennessee. Farr-agut is my home and I am veryproud of our beautiful communi-ty. I retired from Hallmark Cardsin 2010 after 35 years in salesand marketing and several yearsin market development. I quicklyrealized I wanted to “give back”to our community by volunteer-ing. I am an “independent voice”and have no ties to any specialinterest groups. My campaignhas received no financial contri-butions.
In 2011, I applied and wasappointed to be on the Parks andAthletics Committee and last
year was elected chairman. Inthe past few years we presenteda plan that was approved by theBoard of Mayor and Aldermanfor the expansion of McFee Parkfrom 25 acres to 50 acres. Wealso built a new artificial turfmultipurpose field at Mayor BobLeonard Park. I am proud ofwhat we have accomplished thepast four years but we still havemuch more to achieve. In 2012, Iapplied and was appointed to beon the Economic DevelopmentCommittee as well. This is a com-mittee that works to attract newlocal businesses and supportstheir development and growth.For the past year I have been thechairperson of the EDC. Most ofthe Town’s revenue comes fromSales Tax. If we want to continueto be a progressive communitywe need to grow our businesscommunity so we can continueto improve our parks and green-ways as well as complete othercommunity projects.
These are very exciting timesfor the town of Farragut. With myexperience over the past fouryears working on these commit-tees and working with the Town’sstaff, I am the best candidate forWard 2 Alderman.
I am eager to continue to servethe citizens of Farragut and Iwould very much appreciate yourvote in the current election.

• I just wanted to make ourneighbors in Farragut aware ofan incident that occurredaround 7:30 p.m., Mondayevening, July 21, off SouthwickCircle in Andover Place. Ourteenage son was home andanswered the door to a man whosaid he was there to do yardwork, trim bushes etc. My soncalled me and I was pretty cer-tain that was not true but calledmy husband who was at work.My husband verified it by tellingme, no, that was not true. A fewminutes later my son called meagain. The man gets on thephone telling me he had justspoken with my husband (myson admitted he had) and that itwas all good, that my husbandhad just forgotten and that he’dgo ahead and start working. Theguy also asked me to go to myATM on the way home so I couldgive him cash instead of a check.I thought it all sounded crazy soI called my husband again whotold me that it was all not trueand he told the man No, he didnot want his help. My husbandleft work and got home andthere were three men working inour yard. They told my son they’dbeen working for us for 15 years.My husband had never seenthese guys before. The men werein their mid 20s and obviouslydesperate for money. My hus-band asked them to leave andnot to return. They left in a goldMercedes SUV. The police werenotified.
• Yes, I’m calling about thedaylily fellow who was complain-ing about the signage on McFeeRoad. I just wanted to say he wascomplaining about his neighbor
next to him has a donkey thatgets to do everything it wants todo. I just wanted to let him knowit’s a pony and his name isCaptain. I’m sure that if Captainknew he had called him a don-key he would horse laugh him.
• Boy, I know I feel betterwhen I have a guy with an MBAand an MPA who writes in to tellus all how to vote. That’s what Iwait for every week.
• Yes, I pass through the WattRoad extension and Old Stage[Road] intersection multipletimes each day from differentdirections and can see absolute-ly no reason that a four-way stopsign is needed.
• I was just calling about theFarragut Post Office. It’s justamazing how, what the placelooks like, the lack of attentionto lawn care, cutting the grass,keeping the shrubs and stuff.We’ve got such a nice Farragutfacility and across the street isthe Post Office. It’s justappalling the condition the PostOffice looks in just the appear-ance. It seems like there shouldbe some codes or it seems likesome pressure from the commu-nity should be put on the U.S.Post Office in Farragut to reallymake the Post Office here in ourTown look better than it does. Idon’t know where the lack ofattention is but I just wanted tocall and hope that this makesthe paper and the communitywill step up and start talkingabout it.
• I just drove up to the town ofFarragut building and it’s justappalling and laughable howmany political signs are on theproperty. You would think the
leadership of the town ofFarragut would pass an ordi-nance where there would just beon their property, just one signper candidate and that would besufficient. It’s absolutelyappalling and looks totally
ridiculous. The next thing I’mwondering is if they’re going toput a giant gorilla or somethingout here on the town of Farragutproperty. I just wanted to calland maybe something could bedone about that. It’s embarrass-
ing living in the town of Farragutand then you drive by the PostOffice in the town of Farragutand it just looks awful.
understanding of exactly how itworks and why it works.”
Wiser said the Trustee,Register of Deeds and PropertyAssessor “all do the same job.You’re paying out $2.5 million ormore a year just for that uppermanagement part. …Everybody’s trying to protecttheir own turf and keep theirown little thing going.
“Take all that politics out of it
and then you could hire you aprofessional person making$80,000, $90,000 a year,” headded. “You’d have them in linewaiting to take that office.”
As for Wiser’s qualificationsfor office, “I have more educa-tion than she does. I have moreexperience that she does,” hesaid. “… I am educated to think,not trained just to do a job.”
Witt, however, said Wiser“doesn’t know anything aboutthe Register’s office and hadnever shown an interest in the
Register’s office” until KnoxCounty Election Commissionruled in February that Wiser didnot meet all qualifications to runfor Knox County Sheriff.
“I can’t take his candidacyseriously,” she added.
Witt, Wiser said, “Was trainedin backdoor politics” as analleged political ally of KnoxCounty Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.”Jones. … “That takes away yourvision and forethought.”
Witt, president of TheRegister’s Association of
Tennessee representing all 95counties, fired back that Wiserapparently is angry with Jones.
Moreover, “There’s never beenany controversy in the Register’soffice,” she added.
Early voting continuesthrough Saturday, Aug. 2.Election day is Thursday, Aug. 7.
Though saying he wasn’t surehow many employees Witt’soffice currently has, “I know ithas more employees than“Chattanooga and Nashville andthese other places,” Wiser said.
“Through attrition I wouldstreamline it down,” whichincludes trimming down “middlemanagement people that theyhave.”

Mike Wegzyn is cominghome —- well sort of.
Wegzyn, who was KnoxvilleCatholic High School’s quarter-back during the 2011 season, isreturning to Knoxville andhe’ll play his final two years ofcollege football at TheUniversity of Tennessee.
Wegzyn returns to EastTennessee after spending theprevious three years at theUniversity of Massachusetts.He redshirted as a freshman inAmherst then started at quar-terback for two seasons (21games, 14 starts, completing231-of-447 passes, 51.7 per-centage, for 2,428 yards, nineTDs and 17 interceptions).
The Michigan native, whomoved with his family to KnoxCounty before the 2010 foot-ball season, graduated fromUMASS with a kinesiologydegree in three years. Thatgave him the right to transferand be eligible immediately.
This Farragut resident optedto follow in his brother’s foot-steps: Matt Wegzyn played atTennessee from 2008 to 2011.
“I grew accustomed to [EastTennessee],” Mike said. “Mybrother played [at Tennessee],
so I felt like I was at homeright away.
“I knew some of the olderguys on the team and at thespring game, I knew more peo-ple who graduated. I knewmore of those guys than I knewof the people who were actual-ly on the team.”
Tennessee head coach ButchJones “was a big reason why Idecided to come toTennessee,” Wegzyn said. “Ibelieve that he is sincere and Ibelieve that he’s has the pro-gram going in the right direc-
tion. “It’s also great to be close to
my family,” he added. “Theylive about 30 minutes fromcampus. When I was inAmherst, it was a 16-hour drivehome. That was good becauseit helped me grow up a littlebit. I loved the school inAmherst.”
Having already played beforea huge crowd at MichiganStadium in Ann Arbor, Wegzyngrew up outside Detroit andcheered for the MichiganWolverines. Wegzyn relishedhis opportunity to play at thevenue commonly dubbed “TheBig House” while he was amember of the Minutemen.“I’ve already gotten the chanceto play at the Big House andthat was fun,” he said. “I thinkI knew half the stadium.”
As for adjustments, “I camefrom a spread offense inAmherst and at Tennessee werun some of the same plays,”Wegzyn said. “ ... Right now,I’m spending a lot of time inthe film room and trying tolearn a new offense and thattakes a lot of my time.”
At UT, Wegzyn will pursuehis Master’s Degree in kinesi-ology. After football, Wegzynsaid he plans to enroll in thephysical therapy program.

A love affair with coaches,players and academic supportwithin the Tennessee Volunteers’Baseball program was a hugeselling point for Duncan Penceof Farragut High School.
However, “I chose UT becauseI’ve always been a UT fan,”Pence, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound All-Region 2-AAA shortstop and ris-ing junior, said, after committingto head coach Dave Serrano’sBaseball Vols in mid-July. “I lovethe university and I’m very inter-ested in everything they do.
“I kind of had my mind madeup about where I wanted to go,”he added. “It’s always been UT. Ididn’t see a point in dragging italong any longer. … Just get itover with.”
Pence said he wants to helpSerrano and his staff “get theprogram back to where it’s sup-posed to be. … I love all thecoaches and I know a bunch ofthe players there.”
“I felt like they can help meout a lot, and I want to help themout, too. I had a conversationwith Nick Senzel about it,”Pence said about the former FHSAll-state infielder and FreshmanAll-American at UT in 2014, “. …He said there’s a bunch of posi-tive attributes to the university,like they have a bunch of aca-demic support, which will behelpful with how busy my sched-ule will be. You have a lot of sup-port systems there with yourcoaches and with your academicadvisor.
“He said he loves it, so it seemsto fit me pretty well.”
In addition, “The academic sit-uation fits me perfectly,” Pencesaid.
As for where he’ll play for theVols, “From what I’ve heard andeverything, and what I’ve talkedto coach Serrano about, I’m pret-ty sure shortstop is where I’llbe,” Pence said.
As a sophomore last spring,Pence hit .377 (clean-up spot inthe line-up) with nine home runsand 38 RBIs in helping to leadFarragut to the program’s ninthClass AAA state title.
Playing summer ball tourna-ments in Tennessee, Georgia andSouth Carolina with 17-and-under Diamond Baseball SimcoxAcademy, Pence recalled onetournament in Nashville where“I batted around .360.”
Overall this summer, “I thinkI’ve played pretty well,” Pencesaid.
Defensively, Pence said he’smostly been at shortstop with alittle work at third base. “I’vemade almost all my plays in thefield. And I’ve batted pretty well,too. I’ve had three home runsand only struck out, maybe like,twice,” he added.
Should Pence continue tomature and improve, to the pointof possibly being a high enoughMajor League Baseball draftchoice, the rising junior saidabout signing a Minor Leaguecontract and kissing the Volsgoodbye, “I think it’ll be a possi-bility. But I’d have to get quite abit of money because I reallywant to go to UT,” Pence added.

Matt Buckner, FHS headcoach, said Pence is a “big,strong, physical athlete. His ceil-ing is really high. He could be an
unbelievably special playerbefore it’s all said and done.”
Buckner said Pence “came along way” between his freshmen
and sophomores seasons, thoughPence started at third base forthe Admirals as a freshman in2013.

ESK student government held a week-long fundraiser, coordinated by Eleni, to raise awareness for childhood cancer in memory of herfriend that passed away from osteosarcoma.
■ ALAN [email protected]
To the club that awarded him a$1,500 scholarship last year,Patrick Doucette came back toThe Rotary Club of FarragutWednesday, July 9, to account forhis first year as a cadet/athlete atVirginia Military Institute.
“VMI’s definitely a differentexperience from most colleges,but I’m glad I’m there,” saidDoucette, a 2013 Farragut HighSchool graduate and stellar foot-ball lineman who, as a rising VMIsophomore, is slated to start onthe Keydets’ offensive line thisfall.
“It’s a tough experience but it’staught me a lot of things,” addedDoucette, the club’s featuredspeaker during its regular lunchmeeting in Fox Den Country Club.

‘Katelyns Wish’ is Eleni’s mission■ ALAN SLOAN
Though dying of osteosarcoma(bone cancer) while only achild, Katelyn Norman taughtmembers of the Christopoulosfamily a lesson about what’s reallyimportant.
Staying overnight at theChristopoulos family home inFarragut, Katelyn was witnessingXrisanthe Christopoulos “bicker-ing” with her oldest daughter,Xrista.
Xrisanthe recalled Katelyn say-ing to Xrista, “’Xrista, just do whatyou need to do, make your grades.’And what she was trying to say toXrista was there’s no sense wast-ing time on bickering and fightingand being upset.
“She knew her time was short,she knew that there was not a goodoutcome for her,” Xrisanthe addedabout Katelyn. “Katelyn taught usthat we shouldn’t waste our timeon silly things like fighting andbickering and being angry. And shebrought that to our household.”
Twelve-year-old Eleni Christ-opoulos began her fundraisingcause, Katelyn’s Wish, at Epis-copal School of Knoxville lastschool year as an 11-year-old sixth-grader in honor of her late friend.
Katelyn was only 13 when she diedin April 2013.
“Katelyn had a want that therewould be money where the cancerpatients in the Oncology Clinic [atEast Tennessee Children’sHospital], if they had non-med-icals wants,” Eleni said aboutKatelyn’s Wish proceeds. “If theywanted snacks [for example], theycould get different snacks.
“I pitched an idea to the studentgovernment at ESK,” Eleni added.
The end result of that idea cameduring “Spirit Week” at ESK inmid-May. “Students would wearcancer awareness ribbonsthroughout the week, and theywould make cards for the cancerpatients in the oncology clinic.And they would donate bandanas,”Eleni said. “And then, at the end ofthe week, we had a fundraisingdance.”
The hospital’s Oncology Clinicreceived a $409 check fromKatelyn’s Wish proceeds at ESK.
Eleni, who had known andbecome good friends with Katelynfor about two years, is looking tobring Katelyn’s Wish to her newschool, St. John Neumann CatholicSchool in Farragut, as a seventh-grader in 2014-15.

“She was a very nice person, shethought of everyone before her-self,” Eleni said about Katelyn,who had been diagnosed withosteosarcoma around age 9according to Xrisanthe. “And shenever got mad or upset, she alwayshad a smile on her face.”
Learning from Katelyn’s exam-
ple, Eleni added, “When I get mador upset there’s really no needbecause she was the one who wasdiagnosed with cancer and I don’thave any problems.
“And she was always happy.” When Katelyn died, “I spent two

Fireworks, cool weather, bunnyrabbits or the neighbors on a walk— whatever the distraction orstress factor is for your dog, itsometimes causes them to escapefrom the house, especially duringthe summer months.
When panic starts after thepooch takes off down the street, ishe or she microchipped?
Farragut area veterinarianssee all lengths of the microchip-spectrum. The pet either is micr-ochipped with information regis-tration, not microchipped, or inthe middle — microchipped andnot information-registered.
“When I do see a microchippeddog that is strayed, within 30 min-utes the dog is back home.Microchipping really does workand it has gotten dogs back totheir homes very quickly,” Dr.Stephanie Hickey, owner ofConcord Veterinary Hospital, 204Watt Road, said.
“Unfortunately, it’s a rare occur-rence,” she added.
There are multiple ways toapproach the microchippingprocess. If a puppy is adopted froma local shelter, he or she typicallycomes with a chip already inplace. Veterinarians also have theability to insert a chip and registerthem with the clinic’s information.Occasions also exist when a chip is
inserted and it is left up to theowner to register the information.This is sometimes a skipped stepfor some, though, and could pre-vent the pet from ever beingreunited with its owner.
“Partially it’s an unawarenessthing. Not to specify older genera-tions of people, but people whoare typically older, middle-aged orelderly, they didn’t do that whenthey were younger, that didn’teven exist, so when they get a newdog, it just not something that ison their mind. With younger own-ers, I find that they are moreaware of microchipping and tendto be the ones that do microchip,”Hickey added.
Sharon McGuire, a Farragut res-ident and owner of two dogs, choseto get her family pets microchippedas a safety precaution.
“It is kind of like insurance. Younever really know when you aregoing to need it, but it’s alwaysthere in case you have it,” McG-uire said.
Dr. Adele Mays, one of the prac-tice owners at Village VeterinaryClinic, 11301 Kingston Pike, alsoencourages the use and followthrough of microchips in bothdogs and cats.
“I have seen many differentmicrochip scenarios through theyears. The chips have evolved andthe chip companies have imp-

roved over time with the optionsand ease of registration … it istrue if the dog is microchippedand it’s never registered then it
can be almost impossible to findan owner and that certainly can bea case, especially with the olderchip programs,” Mays said.
“You can go in online with thecompany that monitors the chip,like what I did, I went ahead
online and registered both of themand I’m going to say it’s prettyinexpensive for a year,” she added.
Pet owners can call their veteri-narians for more information onhow to obtain or complete themicrochipping process.

fellow VMI freshmen also gothrough the annual “20 MileMarch” in late November. “My dad[Tom] accompanied me on themarch. That was good to havesomebody with you had already
done it before and kind of knewwhat was going on,” Doucette said.
“Breakout” is another session ofdemanding physical activity, “onefull day,” happening just aftercadets return from holiday breakearly in the new calendar year. “Atthe end of that day we become‘Fourth Classmen’ as opposed to
Rats,” Doucette added. “It’s arewarding day at the end.”
However, of the “503 kids” whoDoucette said were freshman Ratsstarting early last fall, “Right now Ibelieve we’re down to maybe 380,”he added.
Looking ahead to his “full ridescholarship” as a VMI offensive
lineman, “I’ll be the starting cen-ter next year,” Doucette said, withapplause following.
More hard work is ahead. “I’vegot 18-and-a-half hours this upco-ming semester,” he said.
Grateful to RCF for its support,“None of it would have happened ifI hadn’t gotten the scholarship
money,” Doucette said. “It defi-nitely helped me and my familypay for the first year there.”
Changing his major from inter-national studies to biology,Doucette, in VMI’s ROTC Armyunit, said he’s uncertain about hispossible military or career future.
