After a few years of controver-sy, Lylan Fitzgerald apparentlyhas won her battle with BonnyKate Chapter, Daughters of theAmerican Revolution, over rightsto own and place Adm. JamesDavis Glasgow Farragut Monu-ment.

This marker, dedicated in1900, was located on Fitzgerald’sproperty close to what is consid-ered Adm. Farragut’s birthplacein Stoney Point Farm along FortLoudoun Lake in Concord,

before it went missing in fall of2011.

According to Joyce Condry,regent for Bonny Kate Chapter,“The Bonny Kate Chapter DAR isno longer pursing the issue ofthe possession or placement ofthis Marker because the Chap-ter does not have the support ofthe National Society of theDaughters of the AmericanRevolution under which aus-pices the Chapter operates.”

Condry e-mailed a quote fromwhat she said is a letter sent toBonny Kate Chapter earlier thisyear from Ann Arnold Hunter,

NSDAR Historian General: “Ifthe maker is located on privateproperty, the property owner isthe owner of the marker; we donot have the force of the law torequire anyone to give up themarker. If the maker were locat-ed on public property, the DARchapter might persuasivelyargue that it has authority overdisposition of it.”

As a result “The matter ofAdm. Farragut Marker is closedas far as the Bonny Kate ChapterDAR is concerned,” Condry said.

she said.No special-event signage will

be allowed two weeks before theholiday campaign begins andtwo weeks after the holiday cam-paign ends, she said.

“The whole reason for that isthat once the Shop Farragutcampaign hits, it explodes,” shesaid. “It just pops and becomesmore meaningful than just hav-ing scattered signs here andthere. It’s a very coordinatedeffort.”

With the holiday campaignsignage, businesses advertisethings such as discounts, theirbusiness names, open houses

and special events, she said.Businesses also get their

information to “over 2,000 self-identified subscribers to theShop Farragut mobile app or theShop Farragut DealMail,” shesaid.

The holiday campaign alsobrings benefits for shoppers.

“Because the majority of thefolks that are involved in theShop Farragut HolidayCampaign offer deals, and thosedeals are coupons typically,” shesaid. “... That information is alsoaccessible on theshopfarragut.com website andthe Shop Farragut mobile app.”

Adorante did not know whenFIS would hear feedback on itssecurity requests.

Among other SERC business,Town recently erected warningsigns for motorists approachingintersection of Lendon WelchWay and Kingston Pike of pedes-trian traffic crossing the Pike.

However, “We’ve got a couple ofcommittee members that don’t seea concern,” Littleton added.

A couple of weeks ago, therewas an article in the farragut-press that criticized Congress-man [John J.] Duncan [Jr.’s]voting record in the U.S. Houseof Representatives. Nothingcould have been further from thetruth.

I am convinced that had manyof the other members ofCongress voted the same way asour 2nd District representative,this country would not be facedwith nearly the number of prob-lems that have been hurtingcountless numbers ofAmericans.

Jimmy Duncan is withoutquestion, one of the most fiscallyconservative members of theCongress. He has consistentlyspoken loudly against govern-ment waste, fraud and abuse.Congressman Duncan is one ofthe few representatives to returnto his district every time theCongress is not in session to

meet with his constituents righthere in Tennessee. Attemptingto say that he has been a part ofthe problem in Washington isgrossly inaccurate and has com-pelled me to right (sic) this let-ter in support of Jimmy.

I am often saddened when Isee politicians spread falseinformation just in order to beelected to office. This is the corereason many people are soturned off by public service. I amvery happy to say my Congress-man is not a person who adds tothis terrible problem by sprayingfalse attacks on political oppo-nents.

It is important to rememberthat when criticizing someone’svoting record the facts be told.When examining the facts youcan’t deny our Congressman rep-resents our area’s beliefs.

Ryan HaynesState Representative

14th (Farragut) District

Tennessee received someexciting news this month aboutthe progress we’re making ineducation.

The National Assessment ofEducational Progress results for2013 werereleased,a n dTennessees t u d e n t ss h o w e dthe largestgrowth ofany others t a t e .Tennesseealso hadthe largestgrowth ofany statein a singlet e s t i n gc y c l esince NAEP began nationwidetesting a decade ago.

NAEP, also known as the“nation’s report card,” is a high-ly-regarded independent assess-ment that tests fourth andeighth graders in reading andmath, and Tennessee studentsmade significant gains on all four

tests.Tennessee’s scores showed

students improving half a gradelevel compared to just two yearsago. We moved from scoring inthe bottom 10 in the country onall four tests in 2011, to scoringwithin one point of the nationalaverage on 3 of the 4 tests in2013. Essentially, we are solidlynow in the 30s instead of the 40son state rankings, and withinsight of the national average.

Tennessee showed extremelystrong progress for AfricanAmerican students. We also sig-nificantly increased the partici-pation rates for students withdisabilities.

These historic gains are due tothe hard work of educators, stu-dents, parents, school boardmembers, lawmakers and manyothers.

I see my time in office as partof a bigger picture. It is likebeing in a relay race. I took thebaton that was handed to me,and it is my job to advance thestate and hand the baton off fur-ther up the track.

The process of raising expecta-tions in Tennessee by raising

academic standards started in2009 under my predecessor, Gov.Phil Bredesen. It was a biparti-san effort that spanned twoadministrations, and it changedthe conversation about educa-tion in our state.

Since taking office, thisadministration’s goal has beenfor Tennessee to be the fastestimproving state in the nation bythe year 2015. While we can saythat today, we know there ismore work to do. We aren’t satis-fied that we’re in the 30s andbelow the national average, butthese gains are certainly aremarkable achievement.

I am extremely grateful for ofall the hard work of our teachersand students. We’re expectingmore from them, and they’reresponding. This is a time to cel-ebrate our progress across thestate and build on that momen-tum as we continue to do thebest job we can in preparing ourstudents for the future.

• Thank You town of Farragutthe fairest town of them all,thank you for the beautiful jobyou do with decorating theFarragut Library grounds. I findmyself going home this way onpurpose during the holiday sea-son instead of my usual route ofGrigsby Chapel Road. The joy Ireceive from seeing the beauti-fully lit trees and all the festivedecorations that are so meaning-ful to us who celebrate the truemeaning of Christmas. My familywishes you a Merry Christmas &Joyful Holiday season.

• I thought the commentsfrom a parent about panhandlersour children occasionally see onthe streets to be very cold andcallous, as well as a terribleexample to children. Some quickfacts on homelessness that sheshould let her daughter knowinclude: nationally, approximate-ly 50 percent of all women andchildren experiencing homeless-ness are fleeing domestic vio-lence. Research indicates that40 percent of homeless men haveserved in the armed forces, ascompared to 34 percent of the

general adult population.Persons with severe mental ill-ness represented about 26 per-cent of all sheltered homelesspersons. Compared to 26 percentsuffering from mental illnesses,moderate to severe, in the gener-al population. Among surveyedhomeless people 38 percent havean alcohol problem, and 26 per-cent report problems with otherdrugs. Compared to almost 7 per-cent alcoholics and 8 percentdrug addicts in the general popu-lation. 2005 survey of 24American cities found that 13percent of the urban homelesspopulation were employed.Declining wages have put hous-ing out of reach for many work-ers. So, this winter season espe-cially, please be more tolerant ofthose less fortunate. ... Pleasetemper your first reaction ofbeing appalled and gain a littleunderstanding and humanityyourself. ...

• Instead of wasting money onreplacing streetlights or buyingold buildings, Farragut couldserve all the citizens by investingin municipal broadband or WiFi.

Bristol, Va., has done this and itis a boon to all the citizens. MakeFarragut the first “hot spot” inEast Tennessee and do some-thing that will be of benefit tothe Town and all its citizens.

• How interesting, Farragutcan spend a half millon dollarson an artificial surface sportsfield and over a million on an oldhouse, but it can’t pay KnoxCounty Schools its state mandat-ed liquor taxes. Now I knowwhere the money for theseextravagances comes from —school-owed taxes.

• Couldn’t help but read withinterest the mayor’s letter abouthis vote to continue to ban gunsin Farragut parks. The mayorstated that the state has passeda law that says school childrencannot visit parks that allowfolks to carry guns. I looked andlooked and could not find anysuch law. Also, school children(even those from Knox County)take field trips to portions of theGreat Smoky Mountains and allfederal national parks allow gunsto be carried by licensed citi-zens.

Carole Worthington, attorney forFitzgerald, said Bonny Kate’s deci-sion “is positive news,” adding themonument “belongs to her and shehas not made a decision regarding”any donation.

Worthington neither con-firmed nor denied Fitzgerald wasresponsible for moving the mon-ument in 2011.

While “this does removeapparent hurdles,” any donation“remains to be seen.”

Without divulging the locationof the monument, Worthingtonsaid, “It can be obtained by Ms.Fitzgerald.”

However, Worthington saidFitzgerald “is busy on other mat-ters,” adding neither has been con-tacted by anyone seeking to speakabout acquiring the monument.

Worthington did not discour-age the possibility of either aKnox County or town of Farragutofficial contacting her to talkabout a possible donation. “I’malways willing to talk with peo-ple,” she said. “We are not initi-ating anything at this time.”

David Buuck, Knox Countychief deputy law director, saidhis office “never heard an offer”from Worthington or Fitzgerald.“If they want to offer to give thatto the county, then their attorneycan make that [happen] … andthen County Commission would

act on it. … The Mayor [TimBurchett] and County Commissionwould make a decision.”

Acknowledging that Fitzgeraldwas concerned about her privacybeing violated whenever peoplewould visit the monument before itwas taken, Worthington, in a 2012story, referenced “a deed of gift”where the governing body accept-ing the monument would do so onthe condition the monument notbe located on county property nearFitzgerald’s property.

However, Buuck said, “I canassure you this: the county is notprone to take donations with anyconditions attached to it.”

Town Administrator DavidSmoak said information hereceived about the Bonny Katedecision late last week “is themost I’ve heard about that sub-ject in more than a year.”

Smoak said that although “thecounty was trying to work withthem first,” he added, “We’d bemore than happy to take themonument. … Certainly wewould have some places we couldfigure out where to put it.”

“We’ve always been a back-upplan to the county. … We’ll beglad to talk to the county and Ms.Fitzgerald again and see if wecan come up with some kind ofsolution to it.”

Farragut Mayor Ralph McGillagreed with Smoak, but addedthat Knox County “should havefirst dibs at it, I would think.”

The Farragut Church of ChristHeaven’s Pantry focuses on non-food items for those struggling.

Sheila Cooper, Rita Duncanand Anna Williams startedHeaven’s Pantry in June 2004,Cooper said.

“It’s a pantry that’s open as anoutreach to the community tohelp struggling families,” Coopersaid. “... So the pantry providesitems. They’re non-food itemslike household cleaners and

paper products like toilet tissueand paper towels, personal careproducts like shampoos andtoothpaste and soap and thenbaby products. We don’t have alot of baby products, but we havesome diapers and baby shampooand wipes, those kind of items.”

The pantry is open Wednesdayevenings from 6 to 7 p.m., shesaid.

“When we first opened, wewere available to the whole area,and unfortunately, especiallywith the economy changing andeverything, there were so many

people needing help that we didend up having to limit it to threeZIP codes: 37922, 37932 and37934,” she said. “And those arekind of the zip codes around ourchurch.”

People can come to the pantryonce a month, she said.

“We have a list of all the itemsthat we have there, and theypick five items or up to five ofwhichever items they need themost that month,” she said.

8A • FARRAGUTPRESS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2013

Summer before last, we weretempted to buy a newer car eventhough we hadn't saved what wewould need. We refer to our car as"The Old Lady" because cars arelike dogs. You just multiply a car’smechanical age times seven to getthe actualage. Thatmakes TheOld Lady105 (15 x7=105). Shewas born in1998 andwe remem-ber herfondly whenshe was ababy. I lovethe smell ofnew babycars, but Ilove havingNO CARPAYMENT better!

Planning our car trip that sum-mer with some of our children andgrandchildren, we knew we'd betravelling over the ContinentalDivide which meant some serious-ly high mountains! Sometimes TheOld Lady had difficulty climbing800 feet to our home especiallywhen it was really hot outside.Typically her temperature wouldrise above normal and by the timewe’d get in our garage, she’d peeall over the floor. With our con-cern over her ability to make itover the mountains knowing itwas summer and could be veryhot, we took her to the doctor.

Dr. Jim at Dave's Auto Repairand Used Car Sales gave her acheckup and proclaimed every-thing looked pretty good. Howeverwhen asked if he would take heron the trip, he answered, "I can'tanswer that." She’d had a hearttransplant in 2007, but heexplained, “When we gave The OldLady a new heart she was still leftwith the old veins and otherorgans.”

In keeping with my own teach-ings in the GOOD Book: Get OutOf Debt, we had promised our-selves we would not buy anothercar on credit, so the thought ofdoing that was just a brief consid-

eration. When Dr. Jim wouldn’tanswer our question (medical lia-bility issues I guess) we thoughtabout renting a car. In the end wedecided since we were going onthe trip in two cars, if The OldLady died along the way, we’d justleave her and join our kids in theirvan.

We headed out with two gallonsof water in the trunk (in case ofan accident ahemm) and a case ofoil (she tends to lose vital fluids).Our first test of her wellbeing wasover the Cascade Mountains.When we got to Timberline Lodge(approximately 7,000 feet) shepeed all over the parking lot infront of skiers and tourists alike.It was one thing to have it happenin the privacy of our own garage,but in public, well it was veryembarrassing. After she cooleddown, we gave her a gallon ofwater which she gulped apprecia-tively. We proceeded to head eastto spend time with Terry’s cousinand his wife.

I told the relatives of her prob-lem and both being devoutChristians they prayed over TheOld Lady. I felt the prayer wasreally directed more at us, that ifshe died we’d be able to handlethe loss in a positive way. Turnsout The Old Lady has never hadanother accident!

Constantly working and stay-ing busy, the key formula thatfeisty Nora Gillette has used tolive past age 100.

“I had a very hard-workinglife,” Nora said on her 100 birth-day Saturday, Oct. 12, as a resi-dent at Morning Pointe AssistedLiving in Lenoir City.

Growing up in Ilion, N.Y.(upstate) and quitting highschool with only “one-half year togo” before graduating, “I startedworking when I was 16 years oldfor 14-and-a-half cents an hour… winding yarn in a mill” forsweaters, Nora added with alaugh a few hours before familyand friends gathered at MorningPointe for a birthday party.

Nora said about her work as avolunteer after retiring at age 66,“I think that’s why God gave methis life. I loved to volunteer. … Ivolunteered in a senior center …and in a hospital, and I worked in

a nursing home.” Nora said one key to longevity

is, “I never had a dull life.Keeping busy and staying on thego. That’s the biggest key.”

“Work hard and volunteer.” Nora’s longest job came “as a

floor lady” at a store supervisingroughly three-dozen women. “Iwas a floor lady for 35 years,” shesaid.

Back to her school days, “Whenwe were kids we never had a

vacation,” she said. “We had to gopick strawberries, raspberries,peas, beans.

“I was on the go all the time.” Remaining quite independent

until recent years, “I think Idrove until I was 92,” Nora said.

As for how she got to theFarragut area, Nora lived inLeesburg, Va. with her son,Joseph, until about four years

■ ALAN [email protected]

Bored with his career inaccounting because “it wasvery repetitious” in the early1980s, Bryan Timmis said he“wanted some more varietyand something more challeng-ing and exciting.”

“And that’s what I found inthe Bureau,” Timmis, aFarragut resident, said about29 years in Federal Bureau ofInvestigation leading to hiscurrent status as SpecialAgent and highlighted by thedangers of serving on FBI’sHostage Rescue Team for sev-eral years.

Despite suffering a “com-pressed spine” among histraining and action injures,“It’s been very rewarding,” hesaid. “It was quite a privilegeto make the Hostage RescueTeam.”

Now “senior principalfirearms instructor. …Training coordinator and alsoFBI National Academy coordi-nator” in FBI’s KnoxvilleBureau, Timmis, 55, estimateshe’s trained “a couple thou-sand” agents over the years.

His Hostage Rescue Teamexperience also included atrip to England for a fewweeks of joint training withBritish forces. “It’s kind oftheir equivalent to our U.S.Navy SEALS,” Timmis said.

“The Director of the FBIhad traveled to Saudi Arabia.We were able to go and helpwith the protection detailwhen they were short of somepeople,” he said. “That wasprobably around 2006.”

For “several weeks” In2008, “I was asked to helptrain Iraqi Police candidatesat their police academy,”

Timmis added. Now, “I’ve enjoyed trying to

pass on that knowledge to theSWAT Team members here,” headded. “It’s been a great career.I wouldn’t trade it for theworld.”

Beginning his FBI career in1984, “I was able to get selectedfor the Hostage Rescue Team,and was transferred toQuantico [Virginia] from 1988until 1997,” Timmis said about

becoming an assault specialistafter rigorous training. “Ibecame a team leader in myfourth year. … Specialized inmaritime operations, smallboats and underwater deliveryof operators or various hostagesituations.

“Came back here to Knoxvillein 1997,” Timmis said. “InitiallyI was assigned to the violent

Saint Francis for men and women.During the service, the congrega-tion recited Saint Francis’ prayer.

The service continued as Stelterblessed each animal in atten-dance.

“The goal of the blessing is tolead us to praise our Creator God,”the pastor said. “The hope of theblessing is that health, healing andlife are mediated from God for thebenefit of the animal and its rela-tionship with its human partners.”

Then the event moved inside thechurch for a presentation, emceedby Bob Ellis, during which pet own-ers had an opportunity to talkabout their pets’ talents and idio-syncrasies. To end the event, petowners won prizes for their pets,from being the shaggiest to the onemost looking like its owner.

This year, the church welcomedCarson Farmer, a National HighSchool Rodeo Association memberand Farragut teen, and his horse,Trooper. Farmer was on hand togive a roping demonstration, bothon horseback and on the ground.

“Because we have several foodpantries in the area, and it justseemed like there were enoughplaces for people to go to getfood,” she said.

Donations for the pantry arewelcome, she said.

“Just call the church officeand bring it by,” she said. “... Ifthey want to bring donations,they could bring them to theoffice, or if they wanted to leavea check or money, they couldleave it there at the churchoffice.”

Driver said preliminary figuresshow the PTA raised more than$30,000 from the event.

“We raised what we wanted,”she said. She explained themoney goes back into the schooland funds FPS’ library; suppliesfor the first-aid clinic; programsfor the students such as the ZooMobile from Knox County Zoo,puppet shows, authors’ visits,Science Night with Dr. Al Hazari,Knoxville Symphony Orchestraand movie nights; improvementsto the school grounds; maintain-ing and improving the playground;awnings in the cafeteria to reduce

noise, and updating technology. “In the past we have gotten

Active Boards,” Driver said. “ThePTA has paid for every one [ofthem] in the school right now.”

Driver said many sponsors, whooffered everything from yogurtand snow cones to pizzas and bar-becue, supported this year’sevent. They also turned out in cos-tume – cows and frogs – and evenFinley the FPS Dolphin made anappearance.

Additionally, Driver said spon-sors provided parking space,prizes, and demonstrations, amini train ride, hair styling andface painting.

Male missionaries serve 24-month missions, and female mis-sionaries serve 18-month mis-sions, he said.

“We work with members of ourchurch here, and we work withpeople who are interested in find-ing out about our church andteach them about our faith andgive them an opportunity to learnabout it for themselves and thento become members themselves,”he said.

For more information, visit mor-mon.org, he said, or call theTennessee Knoxville Missionoffice at 865-671-3466.

ago. “My son decided to sell hishouse and come out here,” Norasaid. “I don’t like the weatherhere. There’s something aboutallergies. … I can’t go out onaccount of my allergies and myeyes.”

However, “I like the peoplehere,” Nora said about theMorning Pointe staff. “They’vebeen very good to me.”

As for her favorite things to do,“I love the Hallmark Channel,”Nora said. “And Judge Judy. …

She’ll sit there and say [to adefendant or plaintiff], ‘I don’tbelieve a word you say.’”

Nora has three grandchildren,seven great grandchildren “andtwo great-great granddaughters,”she said.

Theresa Henslee, area commu-nity relations director at MorningPointe, said Nora “is just awe-some. There isn’t enough wonder-ful things to say about her.

“She’s funny, and she rules,”Hensley added. “And she lovesmusic and she loves to dance.

“She’s one of my favorite peo-ple. I love her.”

At age 18, “My father openedup a grocery store, and he had meworking in the grocery store,”Nora said.

Next came a job as an inspectorat a plant that “made insulatedgarments.”

Nora married her late husband,Charles, in 1939. “He was the bestman,” she said.

Joseph was born in 1942. Noratook another yarn-winding job“two-and-a-half years later,” shesaid.

Nora, the youngest of six chil-dren, went back to her inspec-tor’s job a few years later.

crime-major offender BCMOSquad. … I was also the princi-pal firearms instructor. Andthen, became the SWAT Teamleader.”

Timmis handled both of thosejobs “for about 11 years,” hesaid, before relinquishing SWATTeam leader duties.

After earning a businessadministration degree, with aminor in accounting, at TowsonState University in Baltimore,where he grew up, in 1980, “Iwas doing some accounting for anon-profit research company inWashington, D.C., and I called inthe agent in Baltimore that Iplayed rugby with, told him Iwanted to apply,” Timmis said.

“I’ve been in a lot of the crisisthat have been in the media,” hesaid. “The most rewarding onewas probably the Talladega[Alabama] prison in 1991.”

“About 150 of them took overthis prison cell,” Timmis added.“And took the nine guards andnurses and staff hostage.”

Timmis and his team madetheir move “at 2 in the morn-ing,” he said. “Within about twominutes, we had all nine of thehostages accounted for.”

“That’s probably one of thehappiest memories I’ve had inthe bureau.”

A new AccuQuest HearingCenter opened in FarragutTuesday, Nov. 5.

The Farragut location, 11121Kingston Pike, suite B, has twodoctors — including BobbieMcCue, doctor of audiology andregional director for theKnoxville region locations withAccuQuest — and a patient carecoordinator on staff, she said.

AccuQuest offers a variety ofservices, she said.

“We provide a comprehensiveevaluation with the video oto-scopy, the familiar voice andthen the diagnostic hearing eval-uation,” she said.

A video otoscopy is helpful,McCue added.

Why? “It allows me as the audi-ologist or any of our practitionersto show the patient what theirear canal and ear drum looks likeup on a computer monitor orlarge TV screen within ouroffice,” she said. “... It looks forobstructions in the outer earsuch as wax blockage, maybe aperforated ear drum, debris thatmay be in the ear canal or evenfluid.”

The comprehensive evalua-tion’s second part involves afamiliar voice, McCue said.

“We like to use a familiar voice,meaning a loved one or a spousethat can attend the appointment

with the patient and have theloved one read a list of words tothe patient and assess how wellthe patient is reporting orresponding to these words, howwell they’re repeating these

The diagnostic hearing evalua-tion includes tone testing andspeech testing, she said.

“Once we receive the resultsfrom all those three parts in ourcomprehensive evaluation, ifthere is truly a permanent com-ponent or permanent hearingloss, we then go over the differ-ent types and styles of hearingaids, typically give a hearing aiddemonstration within the officeand give recommendations basedon the patient’s hearing loss,hearing needs and day-to-dayactivities,” she said.

AccuQuest does hearing aidfittings, McCue said.

“We also provide in-services,”she said. “We attend a couple ofdifferent senior living facilities inand around Knoxville andFarragut. And what we provideare just in-services on hearing,hearing aids, things that arerelated to hearing health care,giving them information about

Sherrill Hills Retirement Community, 271 Moss Grove Blvd., hosted a Farragut West KnoxChamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting Friday, Oct. 11. Community relations manager NancyEpstein, center facing camera, cut the ribbon.

■ ROBBY O’[email protected]

Sherrill Hills RetirementCommunity, 271 Moss GroveBoulevard in West Knoxville, hadits grand opening Oct. 12.

Bob Epstein and his wife,Nancy, are community relationsmanagers for the community, BobEpstein said.

“Sherrill Hills is a communitythat says a lot of yeses toretirees,” Bob Epstein said.“We’re 55-and-above. We havevery unique amenities in ourcommunity. One and most impor-tant is, as I said, we’re a yes com-munity, which means the resi-dents have freedom dining. Infacilities, residents have to comedown at a specific time to have ameal. In our community, theyhave freedom to come down. Aperfect example is breakfast isfrom 6:30 to 9:30. Lunch is from11:30 to 2. Instead of having to be

at a particular time, they cancome at any time.”

Residents also can choosewhat to eat, he said.

“For breakfast, if they go downthe serving line, they don’t have apre-planned meal,” he said.“They do have certain items, butif a resident says, ‘You knowwhat? I’d like to have an omelettoday,’ they can have an omelet.If they want waffles, they canhave waffles. Pancakes, they canhave pancakes. So we allow theresidents to have exactly whatthey’re looking for, the freedomto choose.”

The community, which openedAug. 1, has features such as a150-seat theater, a pharmacy, abeauty salon, a fitness center,postal area, dining room, bankand lounge, he said.

“We’re very, very resident-driv-en in our theater,” he said. “Everynight we have movies for the res-idents. We have, throughout the

building, conversation areaswhere they can play cards. Theycan do puzzles. They can enjoyfellowship, Bible study, and in thebuilding, we have two elevators.There’s three floors, and through-out the building are commonareas for them to enjoy just sit-ting around, talking. We have sixfireplaces in the building andplenty of areas for walking andfellowship.”

There are 128 apartments inthe building, he said, and as of aFriday, Oct. 11, about 70 peoplewere living in the community.

“In the apartment itself, we’vecreated what we refer to as peaceof mind, which means all the util-ities are included,” he said.“That’s water. That’s electricity,cable television, Internet, tele-phone, local and long distance, aswell as an emergency call system.And the housekeeping includes

Berdal, who started with MyersBros. Holdings in November 2007,talked about what prepared herfor her new position. “I think theexperience that I have workingwith small business owners andworking for small business own-ers, I think it helps me to seesome of the things they gothrough and to help solve issuesthat they may be dealing with,”she said. “I’ve always been aproblem solver, so I try to look forthe best solution for everybody.”

One of her goals for the FBA isto “work more to develop therelationships between the busi-nesses and the FBA and then indoing that, with the town ofFarragut,” she said.

“We help inform businesses on

what they need to do within thetown of Farragut,” she added.“And if they have issues or if theyhave questions, we get them intouch with the right people withthe town of Farragut. For exam-ple, if there are signage issues,we’ll get them in touch with thepeople who are in charge of sig-nage. ... We work with the town ofFarragut staff to direct themwhere they need to go to solveproblems.”

Berdal also would like to see astructured mentoring programfor the FBA.

“It’s something I would like tosee us work on,” she said. “It’salmost like a mentoring program,using existing businesses andowners and business people whoare in Farragut to mentor tothose who are opening new busi-nesses to help them with thatprocess of conducting businesswithin Farragut.”

“We also do custom ear piecesfor cell phone Bluetooth devicesor iPods, swimming plugs andcustom hearing protection

devices,” she added. She talked about when it is

necessary to start thinking aboutyour hearing.

“If you’re starting to notice oryour family or friends are startingto notice that you’re having diffi-culties in any hearing situation,it’s very important to have yourhearing tested,” she said. “Even ifit’s still normal, then it’s good tohave a baseline to have some-thing to compare it to later on.”

Losing heat in the winter, either becauseof problems around your windows orbecause your heating system isn’t runningefficiently, can be a costly and chilly prob-lem.

Doug Boals is executive vice president ofRenewal By Andersen of Knoxville, 111Northview St., Knoxville.

Boals warns that “cracked seals”between window panes and their frames,and between the window’s frames and thewall, can allow enough winter air inside todrive up heating costs.

“Where the seal up against the househas kind of pulled away. What would be

common is vinyl windows in winter willcontract,” Boals said, adding that summer-time expansion of vinyl adds to the overallloosening. “… When the temperaturedrops, that material will contract. Overtime [the window frame] will actually pullaway from the home. That’s when it needsto be re-caulked or replaced.”

Boals quoted one industry study con-cluding that “17 percent on your energybill can be saved with a premium, properlyinstalled window.”

However, Boals added there are enough“variables” such as children leaving doorsand windows cracked to where, “I try toshy away from, ‘If you do this you’ll see a 17percent reduction in your bill.’”

Meanwhile, Danny Holbert is sales man-

ager with Premier Services Group, Inc.,333 Troy Circle, Knoxville.

Holbert recommends an annual check ofyour heating unit. “It can save you not onlymoney, but on some items that can be veryinexpensive to replace, [replacing those]can keep from having larger items to goout,” Holbert added.

For do-it-yourself maintenance home-owners, Holbert said, “On your heatpumps, a person should check all the elec-tric components, the contactors, thereversing valve operation, Freon pressures,check out your electric heat strips. … Onyour heat pumps you should check yourdefrost operations. And checking you fanmotors.”

Holbert recommends “having it hired

out to check.” For all homeowners, “The main thing

they can do is listen for any unusual nois-es.” Also “One of the main things they needto do is keep their air filters clean,”Holbert said about a monthly check thatcould coincide “with when you get yourheating bill.”

“Poor air flow can cause high energycosts and can cause problems with the unititself,” Holbert added.

Holbert said if a given room isn’t heatingas well as every other portion of your home,“A lot of times it’s because of the duct ven-tilation that’s going into your room. It’s notsized property and according to the loca-

While adding colorful life andspecial style to your home land-scape as winter approaches, whatyou plant in late fall also canassist in home insulation.

Meanwhile, it’s time to geardown with underground irriga-tion while preparing to properlymothball lawnmowers, Weed-eaters and any other gas-poweredlawn care machine.

Lisa Stanley, customer servicemanager with Stanley’sGreenhouse, Garden Center &Plant Farm, 3029 DavenportRoad, and Lee Strunk, owner ofAll Seasons Lawn Care

(www.allseasonslawncare.us),offer advice.

As for when it’s the perfecttime to plant shrubs and trees,“It’s so funny that people thinkspring,” Stanley said. “But really,as close to November. Now is theperfect time. In fact, our groundreally never freezes here. Youwant to start to catch the winterrains. The way a plant relaxes aswe go into the winter months,and so November is right on cue.… Most people aren’t going to bedoing it because of the holidays inDecember.”

What’s vital is “to catch thewinter rains of January andFebruary,” Stanley said. “Thenthe plant is already situated for

the stress of summer here. But ifyou plant in March, plant in April,plant in May, then the roots havenot gotten very well establishedby the time we get to the drought-ful months of June to July, andJuly to August,” she added.

“You can still plant in January;you can still plant in February.But the more winter you can givethe plant to get established,you’re better off.”

As for style points, small treessuch as contorted filbert, “Thelimbs are twisted and contortedon it,” Stanley said. “Even whenit’s bare of leaves you’ve got aninteresting specimen to look at.” File Photo

Using nitrogen versus regularcompressed air, a tire care deci-sion motorists need to considerfor their vehicle — especiallyfactoring in wintertime loss ofair and resulting road handlingissues with ice, snow and coldrain.

Tim Williams, branch managerof Matlock Tire Service & AutoRepair, 10730 Kingston Pike inFarragut, and Ray Fisher, ownerof Fisher Tire Co. West, 10232Kingston Pike just outside ofFarragut who also owns a loca-tion in Bearden (5001 KingstonPike), weigh in about nitrogen’sadvantages.

“Nitrogen is a little moredense gas … less moisture,”Williams said. “There’s less sus-ceptibility to temperaturechanges. … Along with thatthere’s less migration, leakage,through the wall of the tire, too.”

With compressed air,“Generally, for every 10 degreesof air temperature change, yourtire pressure can change by onepound,” Williams said.

As for using nitrogen, “We’vebeen doing it probably four tofive years,” Williams said, addingindustry charges range “$3 to $5per tire” for fill-ups.

“It doesn’t make any immedi-ate, instant gratification for any-body, but over the life of a set oftires, just not having the current,ongoing loss of air pressure, yourfuel economy is much better,”Williams added. “Tires are last-ing longer because they’re stay-ing inflated like they should befor longer intervals.”

Fisher also stressed the advan-tages of “better fuel economy,longer tire life, better handling,”using nitrogen. “Your air pres-sure will maintain four timeslonger with nitrogen than it willwith conventional air becausethe moisture’s been eliminated.”

Fisher said “the moisture” incompressed air “is the key” dif-ference in creating a greater riskof corrosion.

“That is a big thing, corrodeyour wheels,” Fisher added.

“We see all these new alu-minum alloy wheels that havegot corrosion between the beadof the tire and the rim,” Fishersaid. “And corrosion builds up inthere, and that allows tires toleak. You wouldn’t believe howmany wheels we have to cleanthat corrosion off the bead.”

However, “If you start withnitrogen it won’t happen at all,”Fisher said.

As for being cutting edge withoffering nitrogen, “We were thevery first people in Knoxville todo it,” Fisher said. “… We real-ized the value of it.”

However, “We charge $2.50 atire,” Fisher said about thecharge for those who buy Fisher

Boat winterization is trickybusiness, a point made by a mari-na manager and a boat companysales manager.

That advice comes fromPatrick Boring, co-manager ofStardust Marina on Norris Lakein Anderson County “about nine-and-a-half miles” east ofInterstate-75 along Highway 61,and Ryan Jones, sales managerof American Boat Center, 10250Cogdill Road in West Knoxville.

Boring recommends hiring outyour boat winterization to a pro-fessional, “As inexpensive as it isto have a mechanic come and doit,” he said. “That’s definitelywhat I’d recommend. Mostmechanics will charge anywherefrom $50 to $100, somewhere inthat range, to winterize a boat.

“If somebody’s not 100 percentconfident with doing it them-selves, call a mechanic for sure,”he added.

If you’re not familiar with boatmechanics, Boring suggestedchecking with Better BusinessBureau. “That wouldn’t be a badidea,” he said. “Word of mouthand how long they’ve been inbusiness is really important.

“In the event that they’ve donesomething wrong, they shouldpay [for example] for whatever itcosts to replace the engine,”Boring added. “Mechanics usual-ly carry insurance for that kind ofstuff.”

However, “I can’t think of anycases off the top of my headwhere somebody’s winterizedone but didn’t do a good job atit,” Boring said.

With Stardust Marina boatowners, “Probably 95 percent ofthe people get a qualifiedmechanic to do it rather than do

it themselves,” Boring said. However, “I would imagine

that the people that trailer theirboats, keep it in their garage andbring it back to the lake them-selves, a greater percentage ofthem do it themselves,” Boringsaid. “That’s been my experi-ence.”

Jones said, “We always recom-mend they have someone do it, ...On average it costs about $150 towinterize your boat with anauthorized service center. …Consider it insurance.

“If a certified shop messes upyour winterization, they takecare of it,” Jones added. “Ifyou’re not real familiar with howto do it, and you mess it up, it’sgoing to cost you $1,000.

“There’s definitely people whoare do-it-yourselfers, and wedon’t discourage that by anymeans.”

However, “With today’s motors,they’re really, really expensive toreplace,” Jones said. “If you missone of two little things it couldcost you thousands of dollars.

“Not all these motors today arethe same,” he added. “So the waythey drain and the way they needto be winterized, that personmay not be up to date on thoseand they may miss a hose or aplug, and there’s water still with-in the system and it can freezeand crack and bust it.”

Jones warned about potentialdo-it-yourselfers going online foradvice because that advice “maynot apply to your specific motor.”

“The different brands ofmotors out there have differentcooling systems on them,” headded. “One way to drain yourmanifold on one motor may bedifferent than another motor.”

tion and the size of your room.Sometimes they may need to addanother vent to their systems. Orincrease the size of the ventthey’ve got going to it.”

Because of deadly carbonmonoxide getting trapped in yourhome, “That’s the reason I recom-mend that all your gas furnacesbe checked out in the fall of theyear,” Holbert said. “To check tomake sure your heat exchanger isnot busted or not stopped up thatcan cause carbon monoxide toget back into the house.

“That is a silent killer.” Also, check for debris, or land-

scaping growth, that might be“blocking the air flow” into yourheating unit, Holbert said.

With cracks around windows,“Sometimes you can get awaywith just resealing it” with caulk,Boals said. “Sometimes it movesenough to where it breaks theseal on the glass.”

From the time a new home iscompleted with vinyl-framed win-dows, “You’re probably going tobe good for five to seven years,”Boals said, adding that vinyl,however, “is in vogue because it’saffordable. … And it doesn’t let a

lot of energy in [through thematerial]. It will keep the coldout unlike an aluminum-framedwindow.”

Despite its frame-contractionproblem, vinyl windows remainthe area’s biggest seller, Boalssaid.

A somewhat more expensivealternative, Boals said, “Is a syn-thetic material that is 40 percentvinyl, 60 percent wood … over-engineered wood,” Boals said.“This does not rot.”

Boals said he “thinks” thevinyl-wood combination, calledfibrex, is the better long-runvalue.

Beyond loss of heating efficien-cy with vinyl windows, Boals said,“When moisture gets in behindthat window, between the frameand the wall, that’s when youhave a problem. That could leadto rot.”

As for checking the sturdinessof a window’s frame-wall seal,Boals said, “Take an ink pen, takea screwdriver, and kind of bury it,if you will, into the seal of yourwindow. If it’s soft, if it feels likeyou can drive that ink pen orscrewdriver on through the seal,then you have a problem. Notramming it through, just gently.”

Other examples include “yourriver burdge, which has an inter-esting peeling bark in the winter,”Stanley added. “There’s even afew Japanese maples, like thecoral bark maple, it actually doeshave red color come to the barkin the winter. It gives you some-thing to look at when the leavesare off the tree.”

As for plants, “You’d be sur-prised; a lot of plants can take ourwinter,” Stanley said. “Your rosesare fine with our winter, so youcan continue to plant your roses.”

Moreover, “Your bulbs have togo in now,” Stanley said. “Oftenpeople are looking for the tulipsand the daffodils when they’reshining in the garden in April andMay … and they see the daffodilsin the ground in March and thinkthey can go buy them in the storethen. … But those bulbs have tobe placed in the ground in the fallwhen you’re not really thinkingabout it. To get the blooms inMarch and April.”

Plant your bulbs right away.“When you’re getting right afterChristmas, it’s almost too late,”she added. “You do need to getthree months of good, cold chill

on those bulbs.” To add a decorative touch yet

provide some insulation fromexcessive chill, “Collect leaf mat-ter and tuck in around shrubswhere you know it’s extra chilly,”Stanley said.

Also a misconception aboutshrubs, Stanley said, is pruning atthe wrong time. “Do we reallywant to prune shrubs now?”Stanley said. “Because if we cut,we’re going to be looking at thosecuts until they blossom withspring growth. And, you take awayinsulation from the foundation ofyour home. … Shrubs can benefityou to hold the warmth in andkeep the cold out.”

Because its also serves as insu-lation for the home, “It might be agood time to plant an extra shrubor two if you know your border’sbare,” Stanley said. “These itemsactually do help you with the costof keeping the home warm.

“People are actually surprisedthat they can have some color inthe winter,” Stanley added. “Itsurprises them that some plantsdo actually bloom and thrive allwinter, like your pansy group.”

As for cold tolerance, “Youcould probably take a pansy downto 0, and most of your bulbs, too,”Stanley said.

Stanley suggested giving allnewly planted small trees,shrubs, bulbs and plants a goodsoaking of water, “Giving the rootsa good moisture base headinginto winter,” especially if “we getinto dry weather in Decemberand January.”

Stanley said it’s better to giveall planted winter growth anoccasional “good, solid, slow soak-ing” rather than “a little bit hereand there.”

Also an important watering tip,“It needs to go to the roots” andnot the foliage, Stanley said, toavoid “a worse burn” on thefoliage from winter exposure.

Excessive water on foliage “alsocan bring on disease a little bitmore,” she added.

Struck said about preparinglawnmowers and other gas-pow-ered lawn care machines, “Thebiggest mistake people will makein the wintertime when they puttheir equipment up, whether it bea Weedeater or lawnmower orwhatever, they leave gas in it.

“What I like to do is, as you useit, let it get down close to empty,then when you’re done with it justlet it sit and run until it runs outof gas,” he added. “That would bethe best thing to do.”

tires. “A tire inflated with com-

pressed air will normally loseone to three pounds of pressureevery month,” Fisher added.“Any time you have a tire withlow air pressure, the tire buildsup heat, and heat in the biggestenemy to a tire. Even in the win-ter.”

At new car dealerships,Williams said, “They’re probablyusing [nitrogen in tires] as anadd-on sale … part of your preppackage,” adding it’s “prettymuch a common practice.”

As for some vehicle ownerswho accept low air pressure as

acceptable in the winter think-ing a flatter tire will grip betteron icy, snowy or cold rainy roads,Williams offers a correction.

“That might have been rele-vant in the past with old-styletires,” Williams said.

But with modern tires, “You’rereducing the traction capabilityof that tire,” Williams said.

Fisher said lowered air pres-sure “defeats the purpose”because “it can damage the side-walls of the tire, it wears theedges off the tire.”

“That was done 40 years agowhen everything was rear-wheeldrive,” he added.

Williams said cold tires aremore rigid than that same tire inmoderate or warm weather,

therefore, “Probably a littlemore susceptible to a shock rup-ture, bruising damage” if, forexample, you hit a curb hard.

Williams stressed that driverswhose vehicle indicator lightcomes on concerning a tire issueshould not hesitate: either checktire pressures and add necessaryair or nitrogen or get their tiresexamined by a professional.

Williams said indicator lightscoming on indicate a loss of airpressure from “10 percent to 25percent.”

If it’s 25 percent low, “That’sscrubbing away a lot of life out ofthe tire,” he said. “… It’s goingto be more susceptible to goingdown a second time, third time,fourth time.”

and the resulting maintenancedifferences may catch some newboat owners off guard, especiallythose who have owned olderboats where maintenancerequirements were more stan-dardized.

For example, “You used to havea Mercruiser, but you have aVolvo now, and it may have a cou-ple of extra plugs and hoses thatneed to come off that you’rehaven’t been used to in the past,”Jones said. “Where they get introuble is, they assume it’s liketheir old one, but it’s differentbecause they’ve changed the sys-tem on it. … It may be similar,

but you may miss one little plugon there that could cost you thou-sands.”

“Smaller boats, bigger boats, itdoesn’t really matter on the size,”he added. “It depends on thebrands.”

The bottom line: “If you’re nota hundred percent sure how to doit, call a professional,” Jonessaid.

Among his most underlinedwarnings, Jones said, “Never puta space heater in your boat. Somepeople put space heaters in therejust to kind of get through thenight, and that’s a big no-nobecause they can catch on fire.Space heaters on boats are amajor fire hazard.”

As the 2013-14 high school boysbasketball season looms, District4-AAA has a new look.

Knoxville Catholic High Schooldeparted and re-alignment haslanded Hardin Valley Academy inthe district along with Bearden,Farragut, Maryville, West, LenoirCity, William Blount and Heritage.

The conference is traditionallyone of the toughest in Tennesseeand that hasn’t changed.

“The district is always tough,”Bearden head coach Mark Ble-vins said. “I guess it’s just going toget tougher.”

Maryville looks to be the presea-son favorite but the Red Rebelswon’t have an easy road.

“If you asked me to rank theteams in our district, Maryville isprobably No. 1,” Admirals headcoach Chris Cool said. “I thinkHardin Valley is one of the mosttalented teams in our league.”

The Hawks might be a factorbut they’re coming off a disap-pointing 10-19 campaign inDistrict 3-AAA. This, however, is anew season and HVA head coachKeith Galloway is hoping that hissquad can have a breakout year inits sixth season of basketball.

“It should be a fun year,”Galloway said. “These kids justwant to win and they’ll do whatev-er it takes. They want to win ballgames.

“The two districts are prettymuch even but we’re looking for-

ward to the new challenge.”At Farragut, Cool opens his

fourth season. He’s led the Adsto consecutive Region 2-AAATournaments and FHS has seen itsseason end in Powell in each ofthe last two campaigns.

He’s hoping that the Admirals,who went 16-15 last season, willmake another regional appear-ance.

“Getting to the region tourna-ment is tough,” Cool said.

He does, however, have a luxurythat he hasn’t enjoyed in the past.Farragut’s roster features topplayers that have varsity experi-ence.

“This is the first year that I’vehad more than three peoplereturning,” Cool said. “This year,we have all juniors and seniors.”

Key returners include: CameronTurner (senior, point guard); MattOdom (senior, guard); BillyWilliams (senior, forward/center);Brian Park (junior, guard); HarrisBollinger (senior, center); MarvinMendy (senior, center); DrewDriscoll (junior, guard); KeeganMcGuire (junior, guard); MattEggert (junior, forward) and TyAllen (junior, guard).

Farragut has a bevy of returnersbut the Admirals must find a con-sistent scorer to replaceDeMarcus Martin, who graduatedlast spring.

SIGNAL MOUNTAIN —Knoxville Catholic High Schoolhad to work a little overtimeFriday night to advance to thequarterfinals of the Class 4Aplayoffs.

But theIrish willmove onthanks to a 38-37 double-over-time comeback victory over theSignal Mountain Eagles in agame that was decided whenIrish freshman defensive line-man Josh Silvey stopped a 2-point conversion that would’vewon the game for the hometeam.

“ J o s hSilvey madea big playand threwthem for aloss on that2-point con-v e r s i o n , ”C a t h o l i chead coachS t e v eMatthews said.

The Irish (9-3) had to over-come a pair of small deficitsearly. The Eagles took a 3-0 leadwhen Houston McClain kicked a22-yard field goal.

The Irish, however, wouldanswer when junior quarterbackZac Jancek connected with sen-ior running back Elijah Brownon an 18-yard touchdown pass,Wyatt Price’s extra point fol-lowed and gave KCHS the 7-3lead it enjoyed at the end of thefirst quarter.

Signal Mountain (8-4)regained the lead in the secondstanza on a 9-yard run by JamesMcClellan that made the score10-7. The Eagles’ slim advan-tage, however, was short-lived asthe Irish took a 14-10 lead whenJancek, who completed 10-of-14passes (including a pair oftouchdowns), connected withWill Martinez on a 34-yard scor-ing strike.

Brown’s second TD came laterin the frame and gave the Irish a

21-10 lead by halftime.“We were actually in control

in the first half. We were up 21-10 and our quarterback did agreat job,” Matthews said. “Zacwas 10-for-14 and had a coupleof touchdowns in the first half.

“We scored on all three of ourpossessions.”

After halftime, however, it wasa different story.

McClellan, a 260-pound run-ning back, scored consecutivetouchdowns and made a 2-pointconversion to enable SignalMountain to regain the lead. Hehad a pair of 3-yard scoringplunges. His first, in the thirdquarter, made the score 21-16.McClain missed the PAT butanother touchdown fromMcClellan gave the Eagles a 22-21 lead. His conversion madethe score 24-21.

Catholic, which travels toHixon (a 15-12 winner overSequoyah Friday night) thisweek, tied the game on Price’s27-yard field goal late in regula-tion.

The Eagles scored in the firstovertime on Kaleb Manzel’s 4-yard run. McClain’s extra pointgave Signal Mountain a 31-24lead before Jancek Connectedwith Martinez on a 5-yard scor-ing strike. Price’s extra pointknotted things at 31.

KCHS scored on its possessionin the second overtime onBrown’s 5-yard run. Price madeit 38-31 before Diamez Franklinpulled the Eagles to within 38-37 with the game’s final points.

Next up for the Irish is anoth-er road tilt against Hixon (9-3)and Matthews is confident thathis squad, which won at Tyner inthe regular season, can win athird game in Chattanooga.

“We’re getting healthier everyday and this will be our fourthtrip to Chattanooga this year,”Matthews said. “We actuallywent down and scrimmagedMcCallie to prepare us for theTyner game and this trip is get-ting to be old hat for us.

“I think if we play well, thenwe’ll have a chance.”

throws,” Cool said. “We’ve got tofind a consistent scorer.

“We don’t have a DeMarcusMartin or a Blake Williams [whograduated in 2012].”

Farragut must find a consistentoffensive weapon but it does havean experienced backcourt, whichfeatures Turner and Park.

“We will need to find a scorerwho will step up whether it be me,Cameron or Billy,” Park said. “Wewill probably be more balancedbut the district is going to betough.

“Hardin Valley is going to betough. Maryville is good and Westwill probably be looking for a bigyear and Bearden is always good.”

Turner is looking to surprise thebasketball world.

“Nobody is expecting muchfrom us but our goal is to get to theRegion 2-AAA Tournament,” hesaid. “I think we’re projected tofinish seventh in the district, sowe’re going to have to surprisesome people.”

Meanwhile, HVA makes themove to District 4-AAA afterspending the last five seasonsin District 3-AAA. For theHawks, the change signals a newbeginning.

“This year, we have new leader-ship and we feel like we’ve got ateam that’s ready to go into thenew district,” said senior for-ward/center Zak Carter. “We’reexcited about going to the newdistrict and we’re looking forwardto making some noise.”

Senior guard Daniel Linebaughagreed.

“All the teams in [District 4-AAA] have traditions and our tra-dition starts now,” he said. “It’sgoing to be a competitive districtand we’ll have to adjust. But I’mexcited.

“We’re ready to play those otherteams and we have no option butto succeed.”

Top returners for the Hawksinclude: Caleb Clevenger (junior,guard); Austin Glasgow (senior,guard); Will Brayton (senior,guard); Michael Beckham (senior,forward); Linebaugh; Carter;Blaine Shockley (junior, guard)and Dyonta Bizzle-Brown (senior,forward/center).

Key newcomers are: HunterCanon (junior, forward); JacobSchopmann (junior, guard); TylerThompson (sophomore, forward);Caleb Davis (junior, forward);Grant Martin (senior, forward)and Jordan McCroskey (junior,forward).

Meanwhile at Bearden, theBulldogs have some lofty expecta-tions again. Bearden went 28-5last year and won the regular-sea-son district title.

Bearden was runner-up in thedistrict tournament and reachedthe Region 2-AAA semifinals.

The Bulldogs are looking foranother big season despite return-ing just three players who saw sig-nificant playing time last season.

“We have three guys back withvarsity experience,” said Blevins,who opens his 20th season as head

coach of the Bulldogs. “We’regoing to work on building depthand everybody is going to have tostep up for us.

“Right now, we’re just focusedon getting better every week andgetting better in every game. Wedon’t return a double-figure scor-er.”

Top returners for the Bulldogsinclude: Isaiah Campbell (senior,point guard); Jack Graham (sen-ior, guard/forward) and NoahGettelfinger (senior, guard/for-ward).

Junior guards Austin Duncanand Jake Elkins also made varsitycontributions last season andtheir roles will almost definitelybe expanded.

Expectations will be lofty forBearden, which has reached theState Tournament in 2011 and2012.

“As seniors, we want to lead thisteam and we want another districttitle,” Campbell said. “We’re areally young team but for me, it’s

state or bust.”Gettelfinger also harbors high

expectations and added that thenew district will provide some dif-ferent challenges.

“Bearden has never lost toCatholic in the history of theschool,” he said. “Hardin Valley isgoing to be tough.

“We will be good enough and ifwe’re not good enough, coachBlevins will make us good enough.We want to win the district andright now, we don’t want to looktoo far past that.”

Graham also wants to win aleague title.

“We’re definitely eyeing a dis-trict title,” he said. “My freshmanyear, we went to state and I got todress and that was a lot of fun.”

■ KEN LAYCorrespondent

The Farragut Admirals hockeyclub opened defense of its 2012-13 KAHA high school champi-onship with a 5-2 victory over theKnoxville Knights Thursday, Nov.14 at the Icearium.

Farragut, which went 19-0 lastyear, used a big third period towin its 20th consecutive game.The Admirals (1-0) scored threeunanswered goals in the thirdperiod after the two teams playedto a 2-2 stalemate after the first26 minutes.

Farragut dominated the thirdperiod against the Knightsdespite lack of depth.

“I was a little concerned goinginto the third period because we

have a short bench,” Farragutcoach Rob Despins said. “We onlyhave 13 players.”

Senior forward Felix Bjurstromscored two goals in the final peri-od, including the eventual game-winner with 7 minutes, 10 sec-onds remaining off an assist fromRoss Ludington.

“It’s mys e n i o ryear andit wasgood to start things off with a nicewin,” said Bjurstrom, who alsoclosed out the scoring with 3:19left in the contest. “We definitelyhave a target on our backs, espe-cially after going 19-0 last season.

“People definitely want tocome out here and beat us.”

The Admirals started fast as

defenseman Kyle Lindsay scoredan unassisted marker with 11:19remaining in the opening frame.

“That was a great goal becausehe took it [the puck] from deep inour end and scored,” Despinssaid.

The Ads had a chance to putthe Knights away early. Farraguthad 11 shots on goal in the firststanza but only managed to scoretwice in the period.

Farragut got its second goalfrom forward Harley Gorlewskiwith 3:07 left in the opening peri-od. That marker put the Ads up 2-1 and broke a tie just 18 secondsafter Mason Jobe scored theequalizer for Knoxville (0-1).

Whitaker Cunningham’s bro-ken finger earlier this seasonmeant, “I had to get surgery andget two pins in it.”

Cunningham not only is backas a major receiving weapon forChristian Academy of Knoxville,he managed to break apart fromJohnson County’s single coverageand haul in three touchdownpasses from freshman quarter-back Cole Smith.

About that single coverage,“They kept doing it, so we keptscoring, so it was fine,”Cunningham said about theWarriors’56-19 vic-tory dur-ing Class3A playoff second round action atCAK Friday night, Nov. 15.

Cunningham, a senior, hauledin TD passes of 35, 16 and 44yards. “I don’t really focus on per-sonal stats or records or anythinglike that, butit’s good toget out hereand play welllike that,”Cunninghamsaid.

“Whitakerjust hap-pened to bewho theywere giving us tonight in thepassing game tonight,” CAK headcoach Rusty Bradley said. “Sothat’s who we took advantagewith. Whitaker is a speed playerfor us, does a lot of things afterthe catch.”

As for Smith’s performance inhis sixth varsity start, Bradleysaid, “Cole is very well ahead ofwhere he should be for a fresh-

man. But he still makes mistakesat times. … He’s getting the ballout of his hand quicker, not asuncertain about things. Just hiscommunication in running ouroffense.”

Smith finished 13-of-21 for 262yards, four touchdowns, oneinterception and one rushingscore (4 yards) as No. 6 seededCAK (6-6) pulled away after lead-ing 21-6 at halftime. JohnsonCounty, No. 7 seeded, finishes 5-7.

Smith also hooked up withPhillip Nichols on a 27-yard TDstrike. “I just relax more, and I’vegotten more into the offense,”Smith said. “… My whole team,they’ve been there every singletime, touchdown, pick, it doesn’tmatter. They’re always there toback me up.”

Adding balance was the run-ning of CAK senior Drew Jost (25carries, 189 yards, TD runs of 9and 4 yards). “Drew Jost hasbeen an unbelievable player forus this year. … I think he’s thefirst back that we’ve had to getover a 1,000 yards in the regularseason running the football,”Bradley said.

Fresheman running backKeegan Piety scored from 10yards out lates.

Stephen Neu, Warriors seniorkicker, converted all eight of hisextra point attempts.

Next up is a second visit to No.1-ranked Alcoa (11-1) in the 3Aquarterfinals starting a 7 p.m.,Friday, Nov. 22, as the Warriorslook to improve upon a regularseason blowout loss at AHS.

Webb School of Knoxville haswon three of the last fourDivision II-A state football cham-pionships and the Spartans’ lonepostseason loss in that span cameto University School of Jackson inthe 2011 semifinals.

Well, USJ invaded Webb againF r i d a ynight andr u n n i n gb a c kMatthew Melton did his part tohelp Webb claim a 48-21 victoryover the Bruins.

“When they put us out our soph-omore yearthey werecelebratingon the field, Ir e m e m b e rlooking atTodd [Kelly,Jr.] and say-ing ‘Neveragain. It’s notgonna hap-pen,’” Melton said after scoringfour touchdowns against theBruins. “For us, it’s all about the[championship] ring and it’s allabout that gold ball. We definitelyhave some unfinished business. Alot of us aren’t going to play at thenext level so we want to keep thisthing going for as long as we can.And we don’t want to go out on asour note.

“My freshman year, we won theback end of a back-to-back and welost it our sophomore year. We won

last year and we want to winanother back-to-back.”

Melton, who was Most ValuablePlayer of the 2010 state champi-onship game as a freshman, didhis part to make sure that theSpartans (8-2) didn’t have arepeat of their 2011 performanceagainst the Bruins (7-5)

He rushed for 139 yards and threetouchdowns on just seven carriesand was on the receiving end of a 26-yard scoring strike from senior quar-terback Johnny Chun.

“I’m certainly proud of Matthew,he’s had a great year,” Spartans’head coach Dave Meske said.

Friday night’s effort in the quar-terfinals represented another stel-lar effort for Melton. He set thetone by scoring Webb’s first twotouchdowns. His first scoring runcame on Webb’s inaugural driveand covered 33 yards and gave theSpartans an early lead with 10minutes, 29 seconds remaining inopening quarter. It capped a four-play 64-yard drive.

The Bruins would answer thatscore by engineering a 17-playdrive that covered 80 yards. It wasprolonged when Webb was flaggedfor roughing USJ kicker WilliamCobb on a successful 37-yard fieldgoal attempt. Bruins’ coachMickey Marley, who opted to takethe points off the board, saw histeam score two plays later on a 5-yard run by sophomore quarter-back Easton Underwood. Cobb’sextra point knotted the game at 7with 5:52 remaining in the firstquarter.

Meske was disappointed by the

penalty that prolonged the drive.“We had too many penalties in

the first half, but fortunately, wewere able to recover from them,”said Meske, who will lead hissquad into battle against unde-feated Evangelical ChristianSchool this week in Memphis.“From here on out, we can’t havethose or we’re going to get beat.”

The Spartans dominated thingsthroughout the rest of the firsthalf and took a 14-7 lead onMelton’s 43-yard touchdown with4:38 to go in the opening frame.

Webb extended its advantage to21-7 a short time later on a 6-yardrun by Kelly, who scored threetouchdowns and rushed for 132yards on 11 carries.

Johnson County head coachMike Atwood said CAK’s passing

attack is right there at the topwith Longhorns opponentSullivan South. “Different stylesof throwing the ball. … [CAK] isas good as anybody we’ve playedpassing the ball.

of the second period as TylerPeter buried the puck behindFarragut senior goalkeeperDakota Christian and into theback of the net late in the frame.

Christian, a senior at SeymourHigh School, said he battlednerves early despite being a third-year player for the Admirals.

“It was nervous time for me,”he said. “But those nervesseemed to go away once wescored that early goal. It reallyhelped.

“This is definitely tough, butluckily I had some great forwardsand they really kept us in it.”

Bjurstrom credited Christian’seffort between the pipes.

“He made some great saves,”Bjurstrom said of Christian.

Farragut had a battle on itshands throughout the first twoperiods but Bjurstrom saidDespins had some encouragingwords for the team in the locker

room at intermission.“Coach told us to just keep

playing hard,” Bjurstrom said.“He told us not to go easy onthem. He told us to keep playingand he told us to keep taking it tothem.”

The Ads went out and heededthe coach’s advice. Farragut,which never trailed, took the leadfor good when Bjurstrom scored.Farragut would add two moremarkers.

Forward Trey Rogoski gaveFarragut a 4-2 lead when hescored with 5:54 to go. Gorlewskiand Ludington picked up assistson the goal that all but salted thegame away.

Bjurstrom scored the Ads’ fifthgoal with 3:19 left. It was an unas-sisted marker.

Despins said he was pleasedwith his squad’s first game.

“I thought we played prettygood defense and our forwardsscored,” Despins said. “We havesome great new players and wehave some veterans out there.”

tions are lofty again.“Our goal is always the same

and that’s to go to state,” FHSsenior guard Madison Maplessaid. “That never changes and asfar as I know, Farragut has nevermade it to the state tournament.”

The Lady Ads lost point guardWhitney Smith, guard/forwardMadison Blevins and center KatieOverton to graduation and thattrio accounted for a majority thesquad’s scoring last season.

Those players may have depart-ed but that doesn’t mean that thecupboard is bare.

“We’re probably deeper thanwe were last year,” Mayfield said.“But we lost about 60 percent ofour scoring.

Top returners for the LadyAdmirals include: Maples; BeccaJameson (a senior guard/forwardwho led the team in scoring in2012-13); Madyson Newby (sen-ior, center); Miranda Burt (asophomore guard/forward whomade significant contributionswhen Blevins was injured); AnnaWoodford (junior, point guard)and Kristen Freeman (a versatilejunior who made the most of heropportunities last year).

In addition to her varsity expe-rience, Freeman was a JV starlast season.

“She can play,” Mayfield said ofFreeman. “This year, she’ll reallyget a chance to see what she cando.

“She’ll get a chance to seewhere she can improve and sheaveraged 15 or 20 points per gameon the JV team the last two

years.”Top newcomers include sopho-

more point guard Maegan Hudson(a transfer from Lenoir City) andSue-Yun Kim, a junior point guardwho transferred from Bearden.

Like her coach and teammates,Jameson has big plans for theteam.

“It’s going to be a competitivedistrict,” she said. “I’m reallyexcited because we’re really deepand I think all the girls on the var-sity [team] can play.”

Meanwhile, Hardin Valley willlook to find its place. The LadyHawks went 20-10 last season andthey also have lofty expectations.

“Our expectation is to play hardand see what we can do againstour new rivals,” said junior for-ward/center Lacy Cantrell, whomissed last season with a kneeinjury. “The tougher competitionwill help everybody get better.

“The [the other teams in thedistrict] will make us better andwe will make them better.”

Top returners for the LadyHawks include: Cantrell; Ja’TiaWilliamson (senior, guard); TaylorBishop (junior, guard); BrooklynBattle (junior, guard) and BrieCarter (senior, center).

Lady Hawks’ head coachJennifer Galloway, who beginsher sixth year at the school, saidher team will prepare well andplay hard in its new surroundings.

“I think we’ll be very bal-anced,” she said. “It will be achallenge but our strengths arethat we play hard and we preparewell.

“We have a lot of new peopleand obviously, we’ve set highgoals and we want to make the

region tournament,”Williamson noted that the team

will look to improve and provethat it can play.

“This is a district of heavy hit-ters and we just want to competeas hard as we can,” she said. “Wewant to play hard and play up toour potential and prove thatwe’re worthy of playing in this dis-trict.”

Bearden had a big season lastyear and won the Region 2-AAAtitle without a senior. The LadyBulldogs went 24-9 but had ashort stay in Murfreesboro. Therewere no seniors last season andthe returners are looking for areturn trip to the midstate.

“It will definitely be a tougherdistrict this year but we have ourgoals set high,” said senior guardErin Walsh. “I think we’ll beready.

“We’re just taking things onegame at a time.”

BHS has added some new play-ers who will look to make theirrespective marks on the program.

“We have new girls and we cango deeper,” Walsh said.

Lady Bulldogs, coach JustinUnderwood, who opens his thirdseason as head coach, said thathis team is unselfish and notedthat the new players will have tofind their way.

“The first thing we have to do islearn how to play with eachother,” he said. “We added somepieces and we have players com-ing back and we have others com-ing back from injury.

“Our success will depend uponhow well we come together.”

Top returners include: Walsh;Lexus Norwood (a senior guard

who suffered a knee injury latelast season); Tyler Carter (senior,forward/center); Holly Hagood(sophomore, point guard); OliviaPfeifer (junior, guard/forward);Chanler Geer (sophomore, for-ward/center) and Kaci Mitchell

(sophomore, center).That talented group will be

joined by some key newcomersincluding sophomore guard KyraBurris (a transfer from West) andAnajae Stephany, a sophomoreforward/center.

Farragut’s might’ve prevailedin its season opener but the victo-ry might’ve been costly asdefenseman Austin Scheidt sus-

tained a thumb injury.“Austin did a great job for us,”

Despins said. “He came over frombaseball last January and he’s a

really good player.“But he hurt his thumb and it

didn’t look good. He might be outfor a couple of weeks.”
