Volunteers celebrated
■ TAMMY [email protected]
As the country observesNational Volunteer Month, thetown of Farragut celebrated thecontributions of its volunteers.
The Town recognized those vol-unteers during its annual FUNVolunteer/Committee BanquetFriday, April 4, at Fox DenCountry Club.
“They don’t’ call us the‘Volunteer State’ for nothing,”Farragut Mayor Ralph McGillsaid. “We certainly do have ourfair share of [volunteers] inTennessee and the town ofFarragut.
“We couldn’t be what we arewithout the volunteers,” headded. “We don’t pay you for it,but we sure reap the benefits.”
McGill said 89 volunteers serveon 12 standing committees, andTown administrator David Smoakadded some of those volunteersserved on multiple committees atone time.
The Town has another arm ofvolunteers, Farragut’s UnsungNavy, which began in January1992, McGill said, adding thesevolunteers give their time work-ing in Farragut Folklife Museum,helping with events and otherduties.
McGill said, “In 2013, 112 FUNVolunteers donated 4,613.25hours of service to the Town. Thevalue to the Town is worth about$46,132.50 and is calculated onthe scale recommended by thePoints of Light Institute inWashington, D.C. About 116,905volunteer hours have been donat-ed to the town of Farragut sincethe inception of the FUNVolunteer Program in 1992 equal-ing an estimated overall value of$1,169,052.
“That’s really money we avoid-ed spending by using volunteers,”McGill added.
The following FUN Volunteerswere promoted in rank in 2013:
Lieutenant (100 to 299 hours):Dixie Andrews, museum volun-teer; Sandy Dean, Arts Councilmember and special events vol-unteer; Donna Genung, VITA taxassistance volunteer; MarianHoward, museum volunteer;Betty Scott, BeautificationCommittee member and museumvolunteer; Valerie Whiting, muse-um volunteer, and LindaWimbrow, special events volun-teer.

The path seems clear forFarragut Mayor Ralph McGill toend his mayoral service to theTown at roughly nine-and-a-quar-ter years, serving well into 2018.
Taking office April 23, 2009 —ending then Mayor Eddy Ford’sfour-term mayoral run with hisfirst elected office victory —McGill’s first bid for reelection in2014 has a uncontested path bal-lot wise.
Looking ahead on his wish list,McGill, 71, said, “I sure wouldlike us to make a dent on fillingsome of the empty spaces onKingston Pike. Turkey Creek isfull. I know everybody wants tobe on Turkey Creek, but that’snot going to happen anymore.
“We’ve got prime space with alot of exposure with traffic onKingston Pike,” he added. “Ithink we need to work on gettingKingston Pike pretty activeagain.”
As for Town recreation, “We’regoing to continue to make ameni-ties for the parks, keep expand-ing what we have,” McGill said,adding he would like to see “acouple more at least” of artificialrectangular fields “so we couldsupport major tournaments” insoccer, lacrosse or any othersport using a rectangular field.
“We have a lot of people clam-oring for tennis courts, too,” he
added. “I’d like to be ableto do something aboutthat.”
Looking to roads,McGill sounded a note ofcaution. “We’ve gotConcord Road wideningcoming at some point,although with the statusfor funding with TDOT itmay be pushed backsome,” he said. “The
Federal Highway TrustFund is basically broke.So getting money from thefeds to help on some ofthese bigger projects isgoing to be more diffi-cult.”

Board OKs contract to develop architectural design guidelines■ TAMMY CHEEK
Farragut Board of Mayor andAldermen is going ahead with itsplans to develop architecturaldesign guidelines.
The Board voted unanimouslyto approve a $61,185 professionalservices contract for Winter &Company from Boulder, Colo., todevelop the architectural designguidelines for the Town at itsmeeting March 13.
Alderman Ron Honken movedto approve the contract whileVice Mayor Dot LaMarche sec-onded the motion.
The guidelines focus on busi-nesses and possibly multi-levelresidences, such as apartmentcomplexes.
Gary Palmer, Town assistantadministrator, said implement-ing the guidelines is in theBoard’s Strategic Plan.
The Town held a joint work-shop between the Board,
Farragut Municipal PlanningCommission, Visual ResourcesReview Board and the EconomicDevelopment Committee inorder to ascertain thoughts onthe direction to take with regardto Town-wide design guidelinesNov. 5, 2013.
Town staff asked for feedbackfrom those groups. While somewho attended the meeting voicedconcerns that guidelines shouldnot be too restrictive, otherswere more concerned about the
designs the Town might chooseto enforce. For example, someattendees said they did not wantdesigns that were too dated.
Nevertheless, Palmer said theoverwhelming response wasexcitement about the future andthat the Town needed to pursuethe project. He said the staffthen sought a request from firmsto find ones qualified to developthe guidelines.
“Consequently, the joint sub-committee, consisting of a plan-
ning commissioner, VRRB mem-ber, EDC member and Town staffagreed unanimously that Winter& Co. was the most qualifiedrespondent,” Palmer said.
“You may recall Winter & Co.was a sub-consultant workingwith Winston Associates Inc. onour comprehensive land useplan,” he added. “In fact, NoréWinter led the historical focusgroup discussion during our

“[The KiMe Fund] is local inthat it’s established through theEast Tennessee Foundation, butwe have board members frommany states,” she said. “We havea board member in Michigan. Wehave a board member inWashington D.C. We have aboard member down in Texas.”
The fund had an event inHouston previously, she said,with other events in the works inother cities as well.
Steve Hodges, who hasParkinson’s himself, started theKiMe Fund.
“I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s in January of2009, and then in 2010, I was lit-erally sitting in church and this
vision came to me to create theKiMe Fund that would focus onfinding a cure for Parkinson’s,”he said. “So basically what I didis I went home, and I wrote anoperating agreement. I thenspent the next four to sixmonths recruiting board mem-bers, advisory board members.I’ve created a board of 11 advi-sors from four different statesthat have expertise in medicine,finance, fundraising, businessand I also have a lawyer that’son that board. ... The purposewas to raise money that will beused to fund research that willhopefully provide the bestchance for finding a cure.”
The KiMe Fund is named afterHodges’ two daughters, Kim andMegan.
“It’s symbolic of our drive tofind a cure before the next gen-eration of children everywhereare diagnosed,” he said.
From Hodges’ perspective, hesaid eradication of Parkinson’scould be a cure; but more proba-bly, he added, the cure is theearlier detection.

• Farragut Town Board oper-ates very similarly to the passageof Obamacare, pass it and wewill find out what they did. OnApril 3 the CommunityDevelopment department pre-sented a “Home ImprovementPitfalls — A General CodeOverview for Homeowners andBuilders.” We are all aware howfew people attend these meet-ings, It would be far more honestand reasonable to publish adetailed booklet in simpleEnglish, not legalese, detailingall the rules and regulations ofthese codes, when they werepassed and distributed to all tax-paying residents. We are entitledto know what has been passed.My last visit to Town Hall I wasinformed Farragut has norecords prior to 1985! Thatseems ridicules since the Boardis pressing the Historical signifi-cance of Farragut. We are all liv-ing at the mercy of the TownBoard [that] seems to be run-ning [its] own little fiefdom.Clean up your act and be honestwith the residents of Farragut!
Editor’s Note: According toTown staff much of the informa-tion presented at the “HomeImprovement Pitfalls — AGeneral Code Overview forHomeowners and Builders”workshop is available at

Also, the town of Farragutdoes not collect or levy aProperty Tax on its citizens.Property Tax citizens inFarragut pay is to Knox County,which funds Farragut publicschools, Knox County Sheriff’sOffice and Knox County govern-ment.

Pike and Campbell StationRoad, which the Town pur-chased for about $1.2 millionlast Novem-ber, “I sure wouldlike to see us have it open atleast partially within the nextfour years,” McGill said. “I thinkthat’s probably doable.”
While acknowledging theTown hasn’t had the “benefit ofan expert looking at it” and areleft with “rough estimates,”McGill added about restorationcosts, “We’re thinking probablyat least a half-million to do therefurbishing. … If we’re going tomake it authentic, historic, wehave to restore it to the way itwas in 1835 [when built].”
About having a Town centeractive or under construction by2018, “We’re not in completecontrol of the circumstances,”McGill said. “Obviously we’d liketo have things centered aroundthe intersection of KingstonPike and Campbell Station[Road]. That’s not a lot of oppor-tunity because things arealready there.
“There’s always the possibilitythat someone comes along, picks
out a big piece of land, and doesit with the cooperation by us,”he added.
Pointing to his accomplish-ments, McGill recalled his origi-nal campaign platform and saidthe Town now is “friendly tobusiness.”
“I said, ‘We’re going to haveterm limits,’ we have,” McGilladded. “I said, ‘We’re going tochange our election years so it’sconvenient for people to voterather than have an election outthere by ourselves with no inter-est in it,’ and we did that.”
No opposing candidates threwtheir hat into the ring by theKnox County Election Commis-sion deadline of noon, Thursday,April 3.
Barring a successful write-incandidacy on Election Day,Thursday, Aug. 7, that would beof unprecedented success inTown political history, McGillwill remain mayor into earlyAugust 2018. (Anyone wishing tohave their write-in votes count-ed toward being elected must fillout a form with ElectionCommission no later than 50days prior to the election,Clifford A. Rodgers, KCECadministrator of elections, said.

TVA Credit Union, T-Creek, opens■ ROBBY O’DANIEL
One way in which the newKnoxville TVA Employees CreditUnion, 11490 Parkside Drive,stands out from other branchlocations is its hours.
Most of the other branchesopen at 8:30 a.m. Most of thebranches close at 5 p.m.Mondays, Tuesdays andThursdays, and 6 p.m. Fridays,said Jayne Walshaw, marketingdirector with this credit union.
In addition, some branchesclose at 12:30 p.m. Wednesdays,she said, adding that hours varyby location.
But the new Parkside Drivebranch, which opened Tuesday,Feb. 18, opens at 10 a.m. andcloses at 8 p.m. Mondays throughFridays, Walshaw said.
“For the retail businesses andfor the retail employees in thatarea, we wanted to be availableto them on their schedule andnot just on a typical bank sched-ule,” she said.
The Parkside Drive branch has
only drive-thru service from 9a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays, Walshawsaid.
An additional reason for chos-ing Turkey Creek is the CreditUnion does business accounts.
“... We have quite a few mem-bers in the Farragut area ...,” shesaid.

If he’s “Marvelous,” perhapsMarvin Mendy’s other nickname,“A Goal a Game,” is just aboutright.
Almost always coming throughwith at least “a goal a game”since his sophomore seasonaccording to Farragut headcoach Wallie Culbreth, this sen-ior star outdid anything in hisFHS career Friday night, April 4,at home against archrivalBearden.
“ F o u rG o a l s ”Mendy.
“This isa first forme,” Mendy, 6-foot-6 forward,said about scoring four goals inone game in a 6-1 victory for thenation’s No. 2-ranked Admirals.“It’s better to happen againstBearden. It’s always great toscore against Bearden.”
“Once he gets in the game, andhe gets zoned, he’s ‘A Goal aGame,’” Culbreth said aboutMendy. “And that’s not me thatmade up that name, that’s othercoaches.”
After a Mendy header off anEthan Snow corner kick putFarragut up 1-0 in the 37thminute, another of his headersplus two open looks on non-setplays helped the Admiralsexplode with five goals in thegame’s final 23 minutes.
“We had so many chances. Wekept pushing up, pushing up,”Mendy added.
Kai Miettinen, senior center-
midfielder, added the final twogoals — going over to theAdmirals student section andexchanging formal greetingsafter both goals — as Farragutimproved to 5-0 overall. TheBulldogs fell to 4-4.
“That gets the whole teamfired up and it gets the fans firedup,” Miettinen said about his funwith the student section.
“It’s just a great environment.It’s awesome.”
The Admirals skipper alsopraised Miettinen and the rest ofhis center-midfielders: Snow,Fletcher Eckern and RyanCoughenour. “They owned thegame,” Culbreth said. “That’swhere you win or lose the game,and I’ve got a combination ofprobably the best four midfieldersin the state. And a lot of peoplemust agree with me becausewe’re ranked No. 2 in the nation.”
Jameson Elmore’s header offan assist from Gabe Alvarez wasBearden’s lone goal, coming inthe 74th minute.
Randall Bishop, SoccerDawgsfreshman goalkeeper, said, “We needto step it up overall, and we kind ofjust shut down near the end.”
Among Bearden’s first eightopponents, “There in the top sofar,” Bishop added aboutFarragut.
Eric Turner, BHS head coach,said his team “played good forabout 50 minutes, and then …they kind of stepped it up and wewere a step behind the rest of thegame. They made us pay for it,and when you do that against a

The Farragut Lady Admirals(11-6, 6-2) softball team defeatedthe Hardin Valley Lady Hawks 12-3 on a chilly, overcast Mondaynight April 7, at HVA.
“I just thought we played solid,solid defense, two or three out-standing defensive plays wemade, MC [first baseman MaryClaire Coyne] made one at first,” Farragut head coach David Moore said. “Avery[Blankenburg] made a slidingcatch atc e n t e r .N i k i[ S l o n e ]made a good play on a diving ball,tagging the bag at second. So weplayed some solid defense andhad timely hitting. We just tookadvantage of opportunities andsome timely hitting.”
The Lady Hawks took an early1-0 lead in the second inning offan RBI base-hit from centerfield-er Chelsey Texeira.
But in the top half of the third,the Lady Ads tied it when thirdbaseman Lexee Lamoree battedin a run. Lamoree scored off abunt by Coyne for the Lady Ads totake a 2-1 lead.
Farragut would keep the leadfor the rest of the game.
In the bottom half of the thirdinning, Coyne made a diving grab

at first for an out and then taggedfirst base with her glove to com-plete a double play.
“Those are kind of like myfavorite plays to make at firstbase,” Coyne said. “And so, when Ijust saw a line drive down theline, I just knew that I had tocatch it. ... And then I tagged thebag.”
The Ads tacked on two runs inthe fourth and four in the fifth to
take an 8-1 lead.The Lady Hawks’ Kaleigh Wyn-
ne hit a two-run home run in thebottom of the fifth to make it 8-3,but Farragut answered with theirown two-run home run in the topof the sixth, courtesy of outfielderShelby Miller to make the score to10-3 Admirals. The Lady Adsadded two more runs in the sev-

Nick Matthews, Christian Brothers goalkeeper, makes a sliding save as several BeardenSoccerDawgs converge in their offensive box during their Saturday afternoon, March 29, BeardenInvitational game. From left are Ian Schomer, Briggs Farmer, Hunter Hall and Nathan Stripling.
■ ALAN [email protected]
Christian Brothers HighSchool of Memphis was comingoff its first loss of the season.Bearden was coming off a pair ofvictories.
Any SoccerDawgs momentum,however, must have been washedaway by the wet, rainy condi-tions during play in annualBearden Invitational Saturdayevening, March 29, at BHS’sBruce Allender Field.
Converting two first-halfp e n a l t yk i c k sw h i l ebuilding a3-1 lead at halftime, the PurpleWave continued to dominate inthe second half and won easily,6-2.
Eric Turner, BHS head coach,said the Purple Wave “definitely”was the best team his Bulldogshad faced in its first six games(3-3 record).
“They move the ball aroundreal well, and they’re physical.Just aggressive and fast and wewere just slow and timid,”Turner added. “All the oppositeof that. … They just made uslook silly. We didn’t have verymuch pride today, or work rate.”
The bottom line: “We weren’there today and ChristianBrothers was,” Turner said.“That’s the kind of result wegot.”
Coming off a 1-0 loss toMaryville the previous day, CBHSimproved to 4-1 after beating theSoccerDawgs.
Bearden’s goals were scoredby sophomore Gabe Alvarez, who
converted a first-half penaltykick, and Ian Schomer, whoadded a second-half goal.
Though only .500 after sixgames, the Bulldogs did win theirfirst two Invitational games: 3-2versus Gallatin Thursday, March27, and 4-0 against Arlington,Friday, March 28.
“In the first two games, GabeAlvarez [forward] played verywell, and Nathan Stripling [jun-ior defender],” Turner said.
“We played really well in thosegames. But those teams aren’t inthe same class as ChristianBrothers, that’s for sure,” Turneradded.
Schomer said CBHS “is thebest team we’ve played justbecause of their possession styleand their quick pace.”
As for the wet field conditionsand constant light rain affectingplay, “For them, a lot of times ifthey weren’t completely accu-rate, [the ball] would skip rightout of bounds,” Schomer said.“For us, the long balls we’d playover the defense would usuallyskip right into the keeper, sothose were unfortunate.”
Rogerio Lima, ChristianBrothers head coach, has wonthree Division II state champi-onships while finishing runner-up five other times in his first 11years as Purple Wave headcoach.
“I think we had moments ofgood soccer,” Lima said. “I don’tthink it was our best game.”
Lima said his team travelsmore than 350 miles east to playin Bearden Invitational becauseof “the competition level, theadversity, playing away fromhome, seeing teams that poten-

school,” Meeks said. “We’re looking really good. I’m
feeling really confident,” Meeksadded. “We’ve got a really strongdefense and a really dynamic mid-field as well as a lot of speed up top.”
Junior forward Shawn Foster hada foot involved in both HVA first-halftallies: one goal, one assist.
The first goal came on a 5-yardshot from the leftside in the sixthminute, “I just felt the ball was inthe play for me, and I didn’t seethe angled shot so I just decidedto take the touch in and just fin-ished it,” Foster said.
Ivan Torres, senior forward,assisted Foster.
Cameron Schneider, HVA junior
forward, scored the second goalfrom about 12 yards out followingFoster’s nice touch pass, at thebox line, to the left in the 24thminute. “I was looking for theend-post shot, didn’t see it, so Iknew Cameron was on my [left]side,” Foster said. “I just touchedit in and he finished it well.”
Foster labeled the Hawks firsthalf as “great,” but added thatafter halftime, “We struggled pos-sessing the ball. But I think wedid well overall.”
Mike McLean, HVA head coach,said, “We’re just happy to get theresult. Every time we play LenoirCity it’s a close game. When we wentthere last year I think it was 2-2.”
Individually, McLean praisedFoster and Kyle Pacelli, HVA sen-ior defensive center-midfielder.
About the Panthers’ increasedoffensive pressure in the secondhalf despite not scoring, “We tend-ed to give them a few set pieces,which they created some chancesoff of. Obviously when they’redown two they’re going push for-ward a bit more,” McLean said.
Panthers assist coach TrevorHowell took over after LCHS headcoach Santiago Correa was red-carded and ejected for vehement-ly arguing with the referee earlyin the second half. Correa wasescorted out of the stadium areaby Knox County Schools security.
“To be honest, I think we were amore skilled team, a faster team,”Howell said. “But we just cameout, we couldn’t possess the balllike we usually do.”

enth to win 12-3.“We have to go to work every
day,” Hardin Valley head coachWhitney Cruze said. “The girlsknow what we have to do to win aballgame. Our defense needs toimprove. We’re not hitting the ballas well as we have been. We’vekind of hit a little slump offensive-ly, and with hitting, the best youcan do is just get in there andkeep swinging the bat and try to
hit your way out of it.”Serving as both pitcher and
later shortstop in the game, theLady Hawks’ Wynne was excellentat the plate in the game. She went3-for-3 with a walk and the two-run home run.
In her last at-bats of the game,with two outs and her team down12-3, Wynne battled before get-ting a basehit through the middle.
Wynne said the pitches shelikes are high and inside, whichwas what she got when she hit thehome run.

Standing next to their Empty Bowls display in FHS Commons are three of the school’s NationalArt Honor Society members who helped lead the way in making the fundraising bowls. From leftare seniors Grace Khalsa, NAHS president, Brianna Weiss and Sarah Lowrey.
■ ALAN [email protected]
With Einstein Bros. Bagels’annual Empty Bowls soupfundraiser Thursday, April 17,employees have been getting thehang of ceramic bowl-making.
“We did have some work dayswhere some employees got to goin and actually make some bowls,too,” Elizabeth Kidder, Einsteinmarketing manager and event“facilitator,” said about visits toFarragut High School ceramicsclasses Tuesdays and Thursdaysdating back to January. “Not justold Farragut students, but justmembers of our crew who hadnever even been to [FHS] camein and made bowls.
“I would say that at least 10 ofour crew members came in, notjust once but a couple of times,to build and then glaze theirbowls.”
“My students taught them,”Wendie Love, FHS art teacherand founder of Empty Bowlsfundraiser in 2001, said. “Andthen my ceramics students that
are part of National Art HonorSociety [event sponsor] alsotaught other National Honor stu-dents. Some are throw, some arehand-built, but the new peoplewho had not made bowls beforemade hand-made bowls.
“And also an appreciation forthe craft for how difficult it is,”Love added. “When they’re notsuccessful right away it’s shock-ing to them.”
This year’s annual fundraisinggathering at Einstein (11693Parkside Drive) for the fourthstraight year (third in Farragut),where ticket-buying customerspurchase a decorated ceramicbowl full of soup with a sidebagel, runs from 6 to 8 p.m.
Though the walk-in store willclose at 6 p.m., regular cus-tomers can use Einstein’s drive-thru service from 6 to 8 p.m.
While this year’s proceeds ben-efit FISH Pantry, the annual pur-pose is to remember those world-wide with “empty bowls” andnothing edible to fill them.

turned writer to help moms getorganized, I get a lot of mail frommy readers. I received this emailfrom Ina and felt it was worthsharing because it seems she’sbeen “working” at getting organ-ized for years and not getting any-where.
D e a rPam,
I am asoon to ber e t i r e dt e a c h e rwho hasnever man-aged to getmy acttogether. Iget the nec-e s s a r yb u s i n e s staken careof, but notin an effi-cient or organized manner. Asyou know, this takes a great tollon one's peace. I watched mymom go from a vibrant andcharismatic ball of disorganizedfire to a burned out shadow of herformer self as she got older andher ability to pull off anything atthe last minute deteriorated. Shefelt helpless and useless althoughshe was still greatly beloved bymany. In an effort to learn fromher experience, I have tried and
failed to become a model oforganization. I have tried, I havefailed, but I have not given up!
A good friend of mine pointedout that I had many other char-acteristics that were great bless-ings to the world, but I whinedthat I really, really, really wantedto be organized. She then told methat although I wasn't naturallyorganized, I could still pursuebeing organized as a hobby. Thiswas a revolutionary thought andone that tickled me to my verycore!
Since that conversation,(about2 months ago), I have been read-ing and thinking about my new"hobby." Where before, I alwaysfelt guilty about my inability tosucceed, now I just think of anytime or money spent on this as areasonable pursuit of a long-standing interest. As a result, Ireally think that I am going to getorganized because the benefitsappeal to me, and the process isinfinitely fascinating whenlooked at from this angle.
First I bought The SidetrackedSister’s Happiness File, and then,I decided that I really wanted tounderstand the basis of yourwork so I broke down and boughtSidetracked Home Executives:from Pigpen to Paradise andhave actually read that too. I ambeginning to get a glimmer ofhow this might all work. So, I
plan to begin another campaign;however, this time I am comingat it from the hobby approach sothe feeling of desperation (fear offailure) has been replaced by oneof pleasant anticipation.
Love, Ina
I think this is a fabulous way tolook at this thing we call organiza-tion! By calling it a hobby, there’sno pressure and when there’s nopressure we take the stress out ofour resolutions. Nelly (my innerchild) would’ve loved that notionback in 1977 when I decided to getorganized once and for all. Eventhough I didn’t know she existedback then, my reason to get organ-ized was so that I’d have more freetime to play! So a “hobby” thatallows more free time to play is awoo hoo moment for me!
Thank you Ina!

Roughly 16 FHS NAHS stu-dents make, or oversee the mak-ing of, all bowls. Grace Khalsa,Farragut NAHS president, alsobuilt bowls last school year.
NAHS senior Sarah Lowreysaid it was through ceramics thatshe “found a passion for creatingwork to express feelings.”
Her empty bowl creationsincluded paintings of “differenttypes of whales” tying into“whales becoming endangereddue to hunting.”
Senior Brianna Weiss, NAHSmember, said “over 100 bowls”have been made in a process thatbegan in early January. “Justbeing a part of the communityand being able to give back withskill sets that we’ve learned inceramics,” Weiss added about thejoy of creating bowls.

Despite some attrition in itsathletic numbers this schoolyear, Farragut NJROTC “hasgrown a stronger bond withthese other cadets,” Phan said.“I feel we’re becoming more of afamily.”
During spring semester,Farragut NJROTC was part of ahighly successful drill meet atCentral High School Feb. 17.
“We came out pretty good, wefinished first or second in mostevents,” Johnson said about aseven-team field including otherKnox County ROTC units plusAnderson County and Loudonhigh schools.
Phan said about the Centralcompetition, “I thought we didpretty well. … The things thatwe practiced really shone in theevents.”
Cadet Lt. Jr. Grade BradleeWebster, a junior, also is theunit’s operations officer.
At Central, “I thought we did
like really super good,” Webstersaid.
However, though the unit“placed very well,” Websteradded, “I thought we could havedone better.
“At some points our alignmentwas really good and other timesit was off a little bit. We all hitour pivots correctly, kept ourbearing and all that stuff.”
A drill meet at West HighSchool March 14 wasn’t quite assuccessful according to the finalrankings, Johnson said.

Farragut High School mathemat-ics accomplishments, acco-rding toone impressive indicator, rose five-fold earlier this year.
Rising in a manner that catches the eye of major universi-ties including MassachusettsInstitute of Technology, Cal Techand Stanford.
Five FHS students each scoredin the top five percent among55,608 top mathematics studentsnationwide taking AmericanMathematics Council nationalexam earlier this year.
“That’s the first year we had hadany AMC student [qualifier] inprobably two or three years,”Angie Buckman, FHS honors pre-calculus and advanced placementstatistics teacher, said about thefive advancing to earn a shot atAmerican Invit-ationalMathematics Exam-ination lastweek (results pending): seniorsAkshay Soni and Lam Tran, juniorsDon Joo and Jason Fu and sopho-more Daniel Yan.
“The best kids take this test,”she added. “They are in the topfive percent of the best kids in thenation.
“I was ecstatic. In the past wehave probably averaged about onestudent a year making AIME. Andto get five in one year, that’s prettyphenomenal.”
Moreover, “Right now, MIT askswhat your AIME score is on theirapplication. They don’t ask if youmade AIME, they ask what yourAIME score was,” Buckman said.“A lot of the upper-crust schoolsare using it to delineate students.”
“With the ACT, almost every-body that goes to Harvard or MITmakes a perfect score or close,”Buckman added. “This is just a fur-ther delineation within kids ofthat subset. It’s a much harder testthan the ACT. … At MIT, 75 per-cent of their kids make a perfectscore on the math portion of theSAT.”
The five answered 25 multi-choice “hard” AIME questions,Buckman said. “Probably about 20to 25 percent of the information,the content of the test, is some-thing that they have to learn out-side of the classroom. It showstheir initiative, it shows theirinterest.”
Joo said, “I was a little worried,but I had prepared a lot for thisexam. I had been anticipating get-ting in the top five percent sincelast year. And when I didn’t makeit I tried to work harder to get itthis time.”
Tran said he and his qualifyingclassmates “ are always up for achallenge,” adding the five arestudying off a “CD off all the prob-lems from past [AIME] tests, sowe’re working on that to see ifthere are any patterns that showup.”
Yan said, “I was very surprisedand also very honored becausethere’s lots of very intelligent peo-ple at our school, and they all workreally hard.”
“If they do well on AIME [topfive percent], then they can go tothe next level, which is USAMO.That’s like going to a conventionover the summer,” Buckmanadded. “… It’s only about 30 stu-dents nationally.”

Q: Recently, I have heard aboutoutbreaks of distemper at somelocal animal shelters. I think mydog is vaccinated for it. Should I beconcerned? M.T., Farragut
A: Yes, there have been out-breaks of the canine distempervirus at a couple of different shel-ters in and near Knoxville over the6-8 months. It is important to notethat theseo u t b r e a k si n v o l v e dboth pup-pies andadult dogs,so unvacci-nated dogsof any ageare at risk.
C a n i n edistemper,c l o s e l yrelated tothe humanmeasles, is acontagious virus that can be easilyspread through coughing, sneez-ing, and shared food/water bowls.
At an animal shelter, where pup-pies and adult dogs often enter theshelter with unknown medical his-tories and are in close quarters, avirus like this can spread quickly.Most shelters vaccinate animalsupon entry to the shelter, but it isnot always known which pets maybe have been already exposedand/or are shedding the virus, butnot clinically ill yet.
Clinical signs of distemper aremany and varied. Dogs typicallybegin with runny eyes and/or nose.Symptoms can progress to fever,poor appetite, coughing, vomiting,diarrhea, and pneumonia.Infected puppies and dogs aretreated with supportive care, as noantiviral drugs have proven effec-tive against distemper. Some willexperience neurological signs,including seizures. These petshave a much poorer prognosis forfull recovery; fatalities do occur.
Severity of disease and recoveryis quite variable among dogs, andis likely due to individual immuneresponses related to previous
exposure, vaccination, or in thecase of puppies, maternal antibod-ies. It is impossible to predictwhich pets will recover.
There is a very effective vaccinefor distemper, and is part of vaccineseries for puppies, starting at 6-8weeks of age. Adult dogs should bevaccinated every 1-3 years, depend-ing on the type of vaccine adminis-tered. Since there has been a vac-cine for distemper available for over50 years, the disease was uncommonfor years. There seems to be a resur-gence of distemper the past fiveyears or so, especially in the shelter,rescue, and stray populations.Especially when there is an outbreaklocally, it is important to keep yourpuppy or adult dog current on vac-cines. If you have concerns regardingyour dog’s vaccine status or the needfor vaccinations, please talk to yourveterinarian.

As a group, “We met a couple oftimes,” said Byrne, KCSO animalcruelty investigator, who also con-tributed to last year’s runner-upfinish. “For me it’s the fun of it andhaving something you don’t do a
lot of once you’re out of school.”Spell Bound (Pellissippi State
Community College team) finishedfourth after losing a third-placetiebreaker with ESK. Other teamswere The Rotary Club of Farragut(defending champ), The Rotary Clubof Turkey Creek Sunset, KirklandKeepers (Costco) and The TileDrivers (Drive 4 Life Academy).
About her team’s temporary elimi-
nation, Guest said, “I was depressed.”And because it was her garbled
pronunciation that caused theproblem, “I felt stupid. … I felt Ilet the team down.
“I was very nervous.” However, when it was announced
the ruling was reversed, “I couldn’tbelieve it,” Guest said.

high school wrestler, and AndrewFoster, a freshman, “are the mainreason that I wrestle.”
For Vincent, breaking barriers isbecoming a yearly reality: comingoff a fourth-place TSSAA state fin-ish in the girls’ 112-pound class asan HVA senior in February, Vincenttook fifth statewide in February2013 at Cumberland County as
that school’s first-ever femalewrestler.
The bottom line payoff forVincent, 18, is a “full ride” scholar-ship to join King University’sWomen’s Wrestling program(Bristol). She made it official dur-ing a signing ceremony in HVAlibrary Wednesday, March 12.
“It’s important for us to remem-ber that she broke a lot of barriersand did something special for ourwrestling team,” HVA wrestling
head coach Diego Contreras saidto a gathering of family, team-mates, classmates and athleticdirector/assistant principal Geo-rge Ashe.
“She’s only the second wrestlerin our school’s history to haveplaced at state,” Contreras added.“It’s pretty remarkable.”
Ashe announced to the gather-ing that Vincent’s accomplish-ments “have brought a lot of noto-riety to the school.”
Benson finished with a 12-5 over-all record (all against girls) as anHVA senior — all 12 wins by pins.
“At the beginning it was funny,because [Contreras] didn’t knowwhat to do with me,” Vincent said.
Regularly sparring and practic-ing with the Hawks’ 106-poundclass boys, Vincent said Contreras“has taught me more than I couldever have imagined. He’s fine-tuned all the things I didn’t quiteget.
“I honestly couldn’t be where Iam without him.”
Contreras said his team “accept-ed Marissa right away as just oneof the other wrestlers.”
“She worked with our 106-pounders for the most part,”Contreras added after the ceremo-ny. “There were times when she’dget a good crossface on somebodyor take somebody down. So theyknew and respected her abilitiesas a wrestler.”
