SERC welcomes new members, ponders teacher rewards

■ TAMMY [email protected]

Farragut area residents andbusinesses experienced a poweroutage when a 69,000-voltswitch failed Friday, Aug. 15.

“That’s the main feed thatcomes into the substation,”Mark Robinson, Lenoir CityUtilities Board assistant to thesuperintendent of operations,said. “That’s the reason every-one was out of power.

“We replaced the switch,” headded. “When that goes out,we’ve got to fix it right then.They did pretty good at twohours to fix it.”

The area from Choto Road toNorthshore Drive, along Kings-ton Pike, the Fox Den subdivi-sion and the northeast end ofLoudon County were affected,Robinson said.

He said such a switch failuredoes not happen very often.

“Most often, it’s storm dam-age or an animal,” Robinson

A new member of FarragutSchools Education RelationsCommittee tapped into her per-sonal experience, warning thecommittee of its consideration“to reward money” to top achiev-ing teachers in four Farragutpublic schools and Hardin ValleyAcademy.

“One of the things that hap-pens when you start givingmoney to people as an award, isthat Miss So-And-So down thehallway says, ‘I did that as well,why am I not getting awarded?’”

said Carla Werner, a teacher “for40 years” who recently retiredfrom Maryville City Schools.

“You might want to look at tak-ing away the money componentand giving them an honor wherethey are recognized in the paperor something to that effect,”added Werner, one of three newSERC members who attendedtheir first meeting Tuesday, Aug.5, in Town Hall boardroom.

using a monetary award. While strongly considering a

proposal last spring to go beforeFarragut Board of Mayor andAldermen and ask for money tobe set aside for monetary awardsfor two teachers — criteria tobe determined — at each of thefive schools, Littleton added, “Ithink we could probably back upand better consider [Werner’s]type of idea.”

Werner said a monetary award“is very dividing when you’re in asituation where people are teamplayers.”

Any action on the matter wasdelayed until SERC’s Septembermeeting.

Werner joins fellow new mem-bers Lee Wickman, a formerFarragut High School ParentTeacher Student Organizationpresident, and Tony Carasso,president of Jefferson FederalBank in Knox County.

“This is exciting to have newpeople on our committee thisyear,” Littleton, who was chosenfor yet another year as SERCchair during the meeting, said.

Gary Palmer, assistant Townadministrator, presented SERCwith Authentic Youth CivicEngagement program to be runby the Town. The program isintended “to engage the youth ofour community,” Palmer added.AYCE information states thatmunicipal goals should includedeveloping “an infrastructurethat supports youth participa-tion in government” and “build-ing a youth-adult partnership tosupport civic engagement.”

Littleton added that FarragutMayor Ralph McGill “is keen onyouth involvement.”

“The Town manager [DavidSmoak] and I talked about itthis past week, and he askedthat I bring it back up to thiscommittee to see if it’s some-thing this committee could kindof take and kind of run with,”

Palmer said. “Come back withsome recommendations on howto develop this program.”

Palmer added it’s still to bedecided how the program is

implemented, whether “throughindividual teachers or civicsclubs or whatever.”

Littleton said SERC wouldplace the issue as a “lead agenda

item” for its September meeting. Committee member Kristen

“It could have been weakenedby a storm,” he said. “There’s noway to tell when it will happenagain. Equipment fails occasion-ally, and there’s no rhyme or rea-son sometimes.”

letterstotheeditorClean it up

I’m writing to complain aboutthe terrible mess the town ofFarragut road crew made onAndover Boulevard.

[The crew was] supposed torepave Brighton Court andLindendall Circle, which is offAndover Boulevard. After strip-ping old asphalt, [the crew]came back with a truck contain-ing a black sludgy material,which they spread on the twostreets to help the new asphaltadhere to the old. [The crew]left a trail of this material for ahalf mile on Andover Boulevardcontinuing onto Smith Road anddown Grigsby [Chapel Road]. Ateach stop they left a “puddle” ofthis material.

For some reason unknown tome, the tracks are such that itappears the driver of the truckwas having fun depositing thismaterial or was drunk. A full halfmile down Andover Boulevardhas squiggly lines.

I, and at least two other resi-dents called to complain. NOresponse. This is unacceptable.

One resident was able to reachsomeone in Town Hall who toldhim, “The mess will disappear

after a few rains.” We’ve had afew downpours since the messwas deposited. I see no differ-ence. The puddles of this materi-al will take several years to wearaway.

The Town was out recently atthe intersection of Smith Roadand Hickory Woods usingmachinery to remove some ofthese “puddles.”

Good old muscle power wouldhave done a better job sincethere is still a good amount ofthis material remaining at thestop sign. Slippery?

[Andover subdivision] recent-ly “earned” and was awarded forthe Most Attractive Entrance.No longer attractive!

The Town needs to send a crewto clean up this mess. I suggest aspray bottle and a toothbrush forthe individual responsible. It isnegatively impacting our homevalues.

As Shirley Nash Pitts onChannel 8 would say, “Town ofFarragut CLEAN IT UP!”

BOMA approves Dura-Linesigns, talks with KCS


Farragut Board of Mayor andAldermen will allow Dura-Line tohave two signs placed on theParkview Plaza building atParkside Drive.

The Board voted unanimously toamend the Town’s sign ordinanceon second reading, allowing twoadditional signs on the five-storybuilding, during the Board’s meet-ing Thursday, Aug. 14.

“I feel comfortable with [theamendment],” Alderman BobMarkli said.

The ordinance originally allow-ed only two wall signs on the build-ing; however, businesses in thebuilding asked for additional sig-nage, Mark Shipley, CommunityDevelopment director, said.

Shipley said the signs are to be288 square feet, distributedamong the four signs across thebuilding.

On another matter, the Boardapproved unanimously a zoningchange on first reading for Villasat Anchor Park.

The Villas’ previous plancalled for attached dwellings —duplexes — but when the mar-ket changed, its owners,Saddlebrook Properties, asked toamend the zoning from R-4, resi-

dential, to R-1/OSMR to allowdetached dwellings.

Shipley said the change wouldlower the density from 99 unitsto 62 units and provide moreopen space.

“This is a no-brainer,” Marklisaid. “It reduces the density.”

In other business, the Boardvoted unanimously to approve anagreement with Farmstead Prop-erties concerning the repair ofroads into Split Rail Farms sub-division.

“You will recall, historically,the two roads leading into the[Split Rail Farms] subdivisionproperty are substandard,” Townattorney Tom Hale said.

“We worked with the developerto develop a complicated agree-ment,” Hale said, adding theTown negotiated the roadimprovement so the developerswill pay $3,276 per unit devel-oped to repair the roads. He saidthat could bring the amount upto $314,496.

However, developers will payover time as each property isdeveloped rather than all atonce.

After an executive session, theBoard voted unanimously forTown administrator DavidSmoak and Hale to formulate aproposal to Knox County and

Knox County Board of Educationconcerning what it owes to KnoxCounty Schools from the LiquorTax.

The Town owes Knox CountySchools nearly $1.3 million inunpaid taxes since the Townbegan allowing the sale of mixeddrinks.

In other business, the Boardapproved unanimously:

• A bid of $23,190 for a new2015 two-wheel-drive, half-tonpick-up truck for the PublicWorks department. There is$24,000 in the budget.

• An agreement with WhiteRealty and Service Corporationfor reciprocal and access ease-ments for property at 11409Kingston Pike. The Town willinstall the access ways atCampbell Station and KingstonPike, and the Town and WhiteRealty will share the access road.

FMPC approves Split Rail Farmconcept plan, prelim plat

■ TAMMY CHEEK [email protected]

Farmstead Developments,LLC, developers for Split RailFarm Subdivision, received thegreen light for a concept planand preliminary plat, whichincludes adding more lots andchanging its walking paths.

Farragut Municipal PlanningCommission voted unanimouslyto approve the new concept planand plat of the subdivision onthe north side of Everett Road,allowing stacked stones on head-walls around storm pipes andpea gravel or pug mix on the pri-vate trails during its meetingJune 19.

Planning Commissioner RonHonken, who made the motionfor approval, said he had noproblem with their requestseither way.

“You’ve done what we’ve askedpeople to do, to allow people tomove from one development to

another,” Honken said. Mark Shipley, Community

Development director, recom-mended using precast concreteheadwalls, similar to the publictrails, to lessen the potential forsoil reduction and erosionaround the pipe edges.

Shipley also said pea gravelcould become an issue for thehomeowners association if theyare not properly maintained.

“If we do accept these privatepea gravel trails, it needs to bemade clear these do not meetthe Town standards for publicwalking trails; and if they are tobe private trails, they need to bemaintained as long as they arean amenity of Split Rail FarmsHomeowners Association,” Ship-ley said.

Justin Morgan, one of thedevelopers, said the developerswant to make the trails afford-able to install, so CommissionerNoah Myers suggested using pugmix or paver.

For turning around a teamthat struggled at 10-9 midwaythrough the 2014 season andpointing his FarragutAdmirals toward the pro-gram’s ninth Class AAA base-ball state title, coach MattBuckner has been honored.

Winning his third statecrown in five years as FHSskipper, Buckner recently wasnamed TSSAA Baseball Coachof the Year for 2014. “I’m pret-ty fortunate to coach in a goodplace and have a bunch ofgood players,” he said.

Joe Michalski, Hardin ValleyAcademy head coach, saidBuckner “found a way to have

his teamplaying atits best,peaking,at tourna-menttime. ...He is notafraid toget beatup in the

regular season if to become achampion at the end of theseason.”

Donald Dodgen, new FHSathletic director, labeledBuckner “a wonderful youngman, an excellent teacher andjust an outstanding coach.”

■ KEN LAYCorrespondent

Mike Rosenke opens his fifth campaign as HardinValley Academy volleyball head coach with all of hisplayers returning from last season’s squad.

“We didn’t graduate anybody and we have somenew players cominginto the program,”Rosenke said. “Lastyear, we had theinjuries and we werethe new team in theleague. We have a yearunder our belt in thisleague and our expecta-tion is to be right thereand contend to win theleague. We have a yearof experience in[District 4-AAA].”

Eight returning sen-iors are Amanda Hylton(setter); Lacy Cantrell(outside hitter); ChaseRathfoot (libero); SarahWysor (senior, rightside player); MauraEmert (middle blocker); Cherise Kamerman (mid-dle blocker); Magen Payne (outside hitter) andSarah Hampton (outside hitter).

The Lady Hawks also have a trio of newcomerslooking to make an impact: Caroline Waite (sopho-more, right side player/middle blocker); IssabellaMitchell (freshman, outside hitter) and MandyPrescott (freshman, outside hitter).

Cantrell said that the Lady Hawks, who openedtheir season at home against Clinton Aug. 18, arelooking to make a deep playoff run.

“Last year, we didn’t have any seniors, so it was agrowing year,” she said. “We have eight seniors andthis is our senior year and we have a lot to play for.Everybody is working hard and we’re ready to makeit to state.”

Payne, who missed the early part of the seasonlast year, is ready for a historic season at HVA.

“I definitely think that we’re going to go far,” shesaid. “Last year, we battled through some adversityand I think that helped us.

“We’ve worked hard and we’re where we need tobe. Our goal is to get to state and I think with theteam we have, it’s attainable. We’re fighting hardand we’re fighting for each other because this isour last year.”

At Bearden, “Our biggest challenge will be get-ting out of our district,” Lady Bulldogs’ head coachDavid McGinnis said. “I’m not taking anything awayfrom the other district but in our district, we have athree-team race between Bearden, Hardin Valleyand Farragut and if you finish third, then you’reout.

“Maryville, William Blount and Heritage [also] allhave good programs and you can’t count them out.Our district is so hard. … Farragut has a senior-laden team and Hardin Valley has a senior-ladenteam.”

McGinnis, who opens his third season at BHS,has turned the Lady Bulldogs into a perennial state

tournament con-tender. He guidedBearden to a statetournament appear-ance in 2012 thennarrowly missed areturn trip last seasonafter a second-placefinish in the districtand a district tourna-ment championship.Bearden also was alsoRegion 2-AAA runner-up before falling inthe sectional.

For all the chal-lenges of District 4-AAA, “The regionshould be a little easi-er,” McGinnis said.

The Lady Bulldogsalso have their share of returners including: CarrieMcGinnis (a senior all-state setter); Alex Brandan(senior, libero); Mia Owens (junior, outside hitter);Cassie Rooke (junior, outside hitter); Claire Duncan(sophomore, middle blocker) and Kristin Dowling(sophomore, setter).

Coach McGinnis said he is looking for his seniorsto provide some leadership. He also noted that histeam’s major strength is the passing game.

“For us, it’s all about our setting with Carrie com-ing back and our senior leader-ship makes my job easier,” hesaid. “We [also] have some goodincoming talent and [the dis-trict race] should be interest-ing.”

Carrie McGinnis, the coach’sdaughter, said 4-AAA “is prettytough and this year, we only getto play each other once.” That’s

a change. In 2014, there will onlybe one round of district play and district matcheswill the best-of-5 and the district tournament willswitch to a double-elimination format.

“I’ve played against the players at Farragut andI’ve played against the players from Hardin Valleyand I think our players are just as good,” CarrieMcGinnis added. “I just want to make sure that westay focused and I want to make sure that we don’tget too up or too down.”

Brandan agreed. “I want to end on a good strongnote. I don’t want to go down without a fight,” shesaid.

In her pink Cinderella dress, Anne Davis celebrated her 99th birthday Sunday, Aug. 10, witha kiss on the hand from friend Earl Layman. Alongside Anne is her younger sister, 95-year-oldMarguerite Campbell.


Celebrating her 99th birthday Sunday after-noon, Aug. 9, in a stunning pink Cinderella dress,Anne Underwood Davis already was planning fornext year.

“I told them that I would take this [celebra-tion] this year, but next year I want a party,”Anne said, as roughly one hundred family andfriends — including her little sister, 95-year-oldMarguerite Campbell — dropped by her WagonWheel Road home in Farragut to fuel the celebra-tion.

Growing up on a farm in Columbia, Tenn., Annecontinues to stay active. “I love painting and play-ing Scrabble and working crossword puzzles,”Anne said. “I love bridge, play bridge.

“I just like living. … Live life to the enth degree, but be careful.”

Marguerite jumped in and said another key togood health is she and Anne “eat fish, we werereared on fish.”

Anne said, “Fish and country ham. … We grewup on vegetables and cornbread, bacon,” adding

that her father “made the best country ham inthe world, and when mother got through cookingthem they were better.”

“She goes to Bible study, she goes to church,she goes out to lunch with her friends, she playsbridge with other ladies from the church,” KatieDavis Greene, Anne’s daughter and only child,said. “If somebody says ‘go,’ she’s ready.”

Also with modern tastes, “She loves her Kindle.… She reads about a book every couple of days,”Greene added.

While Anne mainly was a housewife whose did“some secretarial work along the way” accordingto Greene, “She was a docent at Farragut FolklifeMuseum for years and years.”

Dot Steele is a good friend of Anne’s whodaughter, Becky Lay, was Greene’s best frienddating back to second grade.

Steele said Anne’s secret to longevity includes“good genes. Her mother was 97 [AnnieUnderwood] … her brother died at 90 [JimUnderwood].

As for diet, “She always had lots of veggies and

Betty Dick has just about seenit all, in addition to making thingshappen, concerning town of Farr-agut government.

Among a handful of those livingin the “Farragut community” inthe late 1970s who became activeto form a town, Dick also hasserved Town government off andon for four decades.

She’s served on both of theTown’s major governing bodies:Board of Mayor and Aldermen(alderman from 1981 to 1987)and Farragut Municipal PlanningCommission (’81 to ’85), then

back to FMPC where she current-ly serves (since 2010).

As for get-ting backinto Towngovernmentafter 23years, “Younever loseinterest. Inever did,”Dick said,adding sheand hus-band, Jeremy, “moved toChattanooga for 10 years.”

Comparing her two eras of serv-ice, “Things are very different. Ofcourse, the facilities were totally

different,” Dick said. “More resi-dents came to the meetings. Therooms were small but many timesthey were packed. People seemedto be more interested. Today,they’ve become somewhat com-placent, I think.”

In the early- to mid-1980s, “Itwas not as politically correct thenas now,” Dick said. “I think peoplewere more outspoken then. If Idisagreed with you I didn’t worrywhether I hurt your feelings ornot, I worried about getting mypoint across.

“We were not necessarily rudeto each other, but we very wereclear in our discussions,” sheadded. “Now it’s so much more a

calmer atmosphere.” In 2014, “I’m still direct, but

not quite as often, though,” Dicksaid. “Maybe I listen a little morenow, I’m not sure. The issuesaren’t quite as contentious,maybe, as they were in the earlydays. There was a lot more ani-mosity from the people in theaudience.”

However, “things are moresophisticated now,” she added.“The Board today has lots of train-ing throughout the year. In theearly days we had to do a lot of iton the spot. There wasn’t a lot oftime for training.

“Also, I think the Board meet-ings [now] are more structured.

Everybody has a microphone.” Dick recalled getting “stuck”

with one unenviable duty duringher early years of service.

“It’s kind of funny in a way:nobody wanted to be chairman ofthe Beer Board,” she said. “It wasnot a popular thing to be as far asthe citizens were concerned. …They thought of it very differentthen from what they do now.

“It became who could nominatesomeone first, and [then Mayor]Eddy [Ford] nominated mebefore I could nominate him,”Dick added. “That’s how I becamechairman of the Beer Board for acouple of years, I think.”

The Farragut PresbyterianChurch congregation has wel-come a new pastor to its fold.

The church’s PastorNominating Committee hascalled theR e v .Matthew R.Nieman ofB e l l e v u e ,Neb., asits newminister. ‘

“ W e ’ r ereally excit-ed and lookforward to making the move,” hesaid. “The people of Tennesseeand the Farragut area reallyseem to be great people, andwe’re looking forward to beingpart of the community.”

Nieman has left First Pres-byterian Church of Belllevue.

“Basically, it comes down tomy wife and I really felt called by God to the FarragutPresbyterian Church,” the pas-tor said. “The people there werevery welcoming and inviting tomy wife and me. They reallydecided to place their trust inme and believe that God wascalling me to be their pastor.”

Nieman, his wife, Jenni, andsons, Jacob, 9, and Joey, 6, leftNebraska Tuesday, July 22. Theyarrived the end of July, and hisfirst service at the church wasSunday, Aug. 10. It will be fol-lowed by a congregation-widelunch to celebrate his arrival,Mikie Lancaster of FarragutPresbyterian Church said.

Prior to Nieman’s arrival, thechurch was being served by aninterim pastor, the Rev. CraigHendrix, for two years, NedClapp, PNC chairman said.Before that, the Rev. Dr. TomNelson pastored FarragutPresbyterian.

“We spent a little over a yearlooking at ministers’ résumés,”Clapp said. They received a lit-

Joe E. Thompson III, branchmanager of Raymond James &Associates, 11400 Parkside DriveSuite 220, helped Knox Countyland 2014 Medal of HonorConvention, Wednesday throughSaturday, Sept. 10-13.

“On a percentage basis, weshould be certainly between 50and 60” of the nation’s 79 surviv-ing Congressional Medal of Honorrecipients, Thompson said. “As apercentage of the living recipi-ents, this will be one of the largestgathering of Medal of Honorrecipients in history.”

Thompson spoke about the con-vention, which he said is betterlabeled “a celebration,” duringThe Rotary Club of Farragut’sweekly Wednesday lunch meetingin Fox Den Country Club July 30.“I’ve been a part of a number of[Medal of Honor] Conventions,and there’s no doubt in my mindthat [recipients] are more excitedabout coming to Knoxville thanany other convention in the last20 years,” he said.

Coming to ... Knoxville, in thehistory of the CongressionalMedal of Honor Society, was thefirst unanimous vote they everhad,” Thompson added after themeeting. “Several of them hadalready been here and had a greatexperience and got behind us andendorsed us.”

While crediting help from otherRaymond James employees, “Iorganized the bid. RaymondJames footed the initial bill toreally bring it here,” Thompsonsaid after the meeting.

Having worked “in retail,catering and the restaurantbusiness,” Kimberly Minix saidshe always had the desire towork with senior citizens.

Then, on a whim, Minix“finally found what I love todo” at Parkview West SeniorLiving facility, 10914 KingstonPike.

“I livehere inF a r r a g u tand droveby on myway to goshopp inga n dthought Iwould stopin,” Minix,a residen-tial services employee atParkview since spring 2013,said. “I’ve always wanted towork with seniors but I didn’tknow how.

“There was an elderly manthat met me at the front door,and I just knew that this iswhere I wanted to be,” sheadded. “He welcomed me withopen arms and something toldme this is where I needed tobe.”

Minix “kind of dropped outof heaven for us,” TerryMcKinney, Parkview directorof operations, said. “She’s verycaring, compassionate to eachand every resident we have inhere. She’s a real asset to thecompany. There’s not a personwho walks through the door

that she doesn’t speak to. Andit’s very genuine, it’s notsuperficial.

“When families have ques-tions, she’s always on top ofevery individual’s needs.”

“I love seniors; I truly,deeply love them with all myheart,” Minix said. “And thisjob has been the most reward-ing to me because … seniorsare so appreciative for every-thing you do — everything.

“My love for seniors justcomes out,” she added. “I lovecoming to work every day. Ilove every single resident here.… It’s like a home full ofgrandmothers and grandfa-thers that I don’t have. I lostmine years ago.

“I really think this suits meand my personality well.”

Parkview seniors “appreci-ate the smallest things thatyou do, even just sitting theretalking to them. … Some ofthem are very lonely and theyjust want a friend,” Minix said.“I feel like seniors don’t getthe love from society, they’rekind of forgotten.

“You love them and they’lllove you right back, regard-less.”

As for her specific tasks, “Itake care of anything the resi-dents ask me to do, whether itbe finding something in theirroom that they seemed to havelost, to making appointmentsfor them, to taking them some-where if need be,” Minix said.“I do medication reminderswhere we do assigned times ofthe day.”

As many parents send theirchildren back to school, therealso exists another type of par-ents — the empty nesters.

Parents become an “emptynester” when “children grow upand move out, and there is aspace or a hole in your parent’slife that has revolved aroundtaking care of their children,”according to Beth Simpson, aWell Being Sciences practition-er.

But while the term may seemdaunting, Simpson encouragespeople to look at it in a positivelight.

“It’s actually a life change.It’s a part of growing forward[with] life changing kinds ofopportunities. It’s a part of thelife changing and of the grow-ing, not only in the children, butin the adults,” Simpson added.

The beginning stages of thisphase are often characterizedwith grief, sadness, lonelinessand a sense of loss, but thereare alternate ways to shiftingyour time and energy to otherplaces. Estaire Tomczak, aFarragut mom of three, isapproaching her fourth year ofbeing an empty nester and haslearned quite a bit along theway.

“I think what I experienced isthis is a very common feeling …at first to just feel that loss,because part of what you’redoing, especially if you have justdedicated their years duringgrowing up, [is] teaching them,and then volunteering at schooland cub scouts and just leadingdifferent activities,” Tomczak

‘Empty nesters’ look to fill the voidsaid.

Tomczak has found fulfillmentelsewhere, though, just by stick-ing to a few simple suggestionsshe has picked up throughoutthe last few years.

“I think the first thing is not todeny that you have that sense ofloss, because … it’s normal tofeel that way. The second thingis connect with other women inthe same phase of your life. It’svery important to have that sup-

port system. Third is to just getinvolved. In my case, I started …volunteering at a women’s shel-ter, and it’s just been so gratify-ing, because I can share myexperiences as mom. I can helpthem grow and be a better par-ent,” she said.

Simpson emphasizes that thisphase should not be character-ized by the fact that the childrenare gone, but instead that youhave a new opportunity.

Farragut and surrounding areamothers can go to Knoxville MomsBlog on the Internet to find activi-ties for families, information onlocal events, child-rearing ad-viceand more.

Knoxville Moms Blog, launchedNovember 2013 by founder NatalieRickerson, is an interactive, col-laborative blog written by localmothers for local mothers, Rick-erson said.

“I had a friend who started theNew Orleans Moms Blog,”Rickerson, who will soon be mov-

ing to Farragut, said, adding sheand her friend talked about it, andher friend thought Rickersonshould start one in Knox County.

Rickerson said she got the blogstarted after her first son wasborn.

“I didn’t really have a lot offriends who had children already,so I wanted to find a way to con-nect to other moms through activ-ities and with local businesses aswell,” she said.

“Before I had kids, I worked atWells Fargo,” Rickerson, who has asales-management background,said. “I missed that interactionwith other people in business.”

The Knoxville Moms Blog is partof the City Moms Blog Network,which encompasses cities acrossthe United States, she said.

The blog offers personal storiesand upcoming seasonal events,DIY projects, crafts, recipes andreviews of businesses, Rickersonsaid.

“We also sponsor posts for busi-nesses and reviews and give-aways,” she said. “Everyday wehave daily content from our 13writers, who are all local.”

TN Licensed General Contractor since 2007

Have you ever traveled a longway and upon arrival to someone’shome the host asks, “Would youlike to freshen up?” Indeed, fresh-en up aftera long jour-ney soundsf a b u l o u s !Often, rightbefore mydad camehome fromwork, mymom wouldsay to mysister Peggyand me,“Girls, yourdad’ll behome in 15m i n u t e s ,I’m going to go freshen up.” She’dbe in the bathroom for about tenminutes and when she’d comeout, she looked fresh. What I did-n’t realize back then was my BOP(Born Organized Person) motherwas setting the stage for herleisurely evening with my dad.

During your day, find as manyways as you can to get things doneso that you can stop work at 6:00pm. Consider it quitting time. Ofcourse if you’re a mom, your littleSnuggle Bunnies will need yourlove and attention after six, butI’m talking about the householdworkload.

If you tend to be frazzled in the

evening, you’ll love my 4 tips formaking guilt-free couch time areality. Read more

Get OrganizedBy getting organized and creat-

ing a routine, you’ll work smart inyour day, and give yourself leisureevenings. Peggy and I were in bedby 8:30 and that gave my dad andmom time alone to relax andenjoy their evenings with eachother, Pam and Peggy-free.

When I had kids of my own, Iremember wanting that samegoal, but because I was disorgan-ized, I didn’t have good habits andwasn’t in control of a routine thatenabled me to get the kids in bedby 8:30. Instead of heading to thebathroom to freshen up before myhusband got home for dinner, I’dbe thawing steaks in the dish-washer (no soap)(pre-microwavedays) and deciding whether to getdressed or just stay in my paja-mas. We’d eat late, and the kidswould be in bed by 9:30 or 10:00 ifI were lucky.

Make ahead MealsFreeze Some Free TimeHaving a freezer is like having a

time capsule. With a freezer, youcan actually freeze free time. Forexample, when I make chili andsoups, I make enough for four tosix extra meals and freeze in Zip-Lock freezer bags to use when I’msuper busy or I’m not in the moodto cook. Since you’re going to

make a mess anyway when youcook, you might as well get moremeals for your mess. When youcook double a couple times aweek and freeze your entrées foranother night, you become yourown convenience food company.By freezing meals, you save theprep and clean-up time for thosefrozen meals to be served later.

When I make a salad for myhusband and me, I make enoughfor two nights and before I putdressing on it, I put half the let-tuce and vegetables (tomatoes,green onions, fresh parsley,radishes etc.) in a Zip-Lock bagfor the next night. I make my ownsalad dressings (a week’s supplyat a time) and add it to the saladand toss, right before serving.

The convenience food industrywould love us to believe that theyare helping busy people, get foodon the table quick and easy, but inreality, it takes the same amountof time and energy to bake achicken, roast some healthy sweetpotatoes, and toss a fresh, greensalad as it does to prepare stufffrom a box, and when you prepareenough for another day or two,you’ll be freezing free time for thefuture.

Learn to DelegateThink about all the chores that

can be done before six and get thefamily into a routine that involvesthem accomplishing those chores.

Kids can bathe, set out clothes fortomorrow, and tidy up their roomsbefore dinner. They can also helpwith laundry, vacuum, dust, setthe table and meal preparation.After six, when dinner is over, del-egate kitchen clean-up to the fam-ily and go get in your jammies.

In my book The Joy of BeingDisorganized, (available onAmazon) I wrote about the art ofdelegation. It is an art and mostmoms I know are not very good atit. Here’s an excerpt from thebook about the art.

What’s very interesting aboutdelegating is that once a job hasbeen assigned to someone elseand you are no longer responsiblefor doing it, you’ll find that you’llbe more willing to do that job aswell. For example, my husbandTerry does all dishes for everymeal and, with that chore off myshoulders, I feel free. In that free-dom, often I’ll have the thought,“I’ll surprise Terry and wash allthe pots and pans before I callhim to dinner,” or “I’ll tell himafter breakfast that I’ll do thedishes because I know all theextra work he has to do rightnow.” Also, when jobs are delegat-ed and there is an offer to help bythe delegator, there is so muchgratitude for the help! Before youknow it, the delegatee will returnthe favor and do one of the choreson the delegator’s list. It’s a beau-

tiful cycle!Enlightened SelfishnessBe selfish about your personal

time. Make a list of down-timeactivities like luxuriating in a bub-ble bath, reading, watching amovie, playing with a hobby thatrelaxes you and such.

Learn to say, “NO”Get into the mindset, if you’re

not already, that you deserve help.Getting help doesn’t mean you aresome poor soul who isn’t strongenough to do it all. I remember inmy young motherhood, taking onmore than I could possibly do, justto be liked. When I figured outwhat was behind my unreasonablyoverbooked schedule, I startedsaying “NO,” If you’re a peoplepleaser; this is going to be a newskill you’ll need to learn.

As a caregiver, you need down-time on a daily basis. I hope thesetips will help you get into thehabit of taking the night off.Thank you for reading my article.Please share it with your frazzledfriends. Now, go freshen up.
