Farragut and area familiescan celebrate fireflies andNational Get Outdoors Day at aGO & GLOW in the Dark event.
The event celebrates the syn-chronous fireflies found only inElkmont in the Great SmokyMountains National Park andVietnam.
GO & GLOW in the Dark isfrom 8 to 10:30 p.m., Saturday,June 7, on Brooklawn Drive,alongside Kroger Marketplacein Farragut.
This event is a project of theFarragut Business Alliance andtown of Farragut, Allison Sousa,FBA executive director, said.
“This is a new event for us thisyear,” Sousa said. “What’s reallyneat about this is it is sanc-tioned by the National GetOutdoors Day.
According to sources atGSMNP, Synchronous fireflies(Photinus carolinus) are one ofat least 19 species of firefliesthat live in the park. They arethe only species in Americawhose individuals can synchro-nize their flashing light pat-terns.
Fireflies (also called light-ning bugs) are beetles. Theytake from one to two years tomature from larvae, but will liveas adults for only about 21 days.While in the larval stage, theinsects feed on snails and small-er insects. Once they transform
For two weeks each June synchronous fireflies look for mates by putting on a simultaneouslight show in the Elkmont area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Each malelights up at the same time to attract their summer mate.
into their adult form, they donot eat.
Their light patterns are partof their mating display. Eachspecies of firefly has a charac-teristic flash pattern thathelps its male and female indi-viduals recognize each other.Most species produce a green-ish-yellow light; one specieshas a bluish light. The malesfly and flash and the usuallystationary females respondwith a flash. Peak flashing for
synchronous fireflies in thepark is normally within a two-week period in late May tomid-June.
No one is sure why the fire-flies flash synchronously.Competition between malesmay be one reason: they allwant to be the first to flash. Orperhaps if the males all flashtogether they have a betterchance of being noticed, andthe females can make bettercomparisons.
The fireflies do not alwaysflash in unison. They may flashin waves across hillsides, andat other times will flash ran-domly. Synchrony occurs inshort bursts that end withabrupt periods of darkness.
The mating season lasts forapproximately two weeks eachyear. The dates that the fire-flies begin to display variesfrom year to year. Scientists

Town seeks credit from KCS toward back taxes ■ ALAN SLOAN
Lynne Fugate, chair of KnoxCounty Board of Education,points out that Knox CountySchools “has to cut $7.5 millionout of our budget this [upcomingfiscal] year. We need all themoney we can get.”
In a town of Farragut letter,signed by all five Board of Mayor
and Aldermen members and sentto Fugate dated May 27, it statedthe Town wants to negotiatedown it’s $1,352,611 amount inMixed Drink Taxes it owed —unknowingly in similar fashionto a few dozen other statewidemunicipalities — dating back to1987.
Moreover, the letter statesthat $747,500 in Town “cashdonations” since 1993 to five
KCS schools, in which Town resi-dents comprise part or most ofthe enrollment, should be con-sidered “a credit.”
That’s in addition to “another$70,000 to the foundations of atHardin Valley and FarragutHigh.” The letter also made ref-erence to “our limited currentfunds.”
Recent Tennessee GeneralAssembly legislation “encourages
the parties to resolve the issue byconsidering allowing a credit tomunicipalities for past, presentor future appropriations, expen-ditures, allocation of revenue.…,” the letter further states.
Because of that recentGeneral Assembly statute whichstates a settlement must bereached by June 1 or availabletaxes collected from Farragutand other municipalities only
extend back to 1999, “To pre-serve the entire length of time[back through 1987], we have tofile a lawsuit to be exempt fromthe statute,” Richard “Bud”Armstrong, Knox Count Lawdirector, said.
That lawsuit was filed Friday,May 30, Armstrong later added.
Otherwise, “That would cost

P a l m e rattendsHarvardprogram■ COURTNEY SUCH
Gary Palmer, Town assistantadministrator, boarded his flightto Boston Sunday, June 1, toattend the Senior Executives inState and Local GovernmentProgram at Harvard University’sJohn F. Kennedy School ofGovernment.
“Of course I was extremelypleased to get a seat in the class.It is very competitive and I didn’tthink I’d get a shot,” Palmer said.
The three-week long programconsists of various educationalexperiences in an interactiveclassroom setting.
“That’s the part of the pro-gram I look forward to — meetfolks. It’s fascinating to me howother communities handle theirsituations, whether it be eco-nomic, financial or community,”Palmer said.
The application process wasnot new to Palmer. He hasapplied for the program the pastfive years through theInternational City/County Man-agement Association. TheICCMA has reserved spots in theHarvard program, but its sepa-rate application process did notgive Palmer any luck. He decid-ed to apply on his own this year,and his persistence worked.
“The application is pretty longand includes an essay. You answerall these questions and [include]a résumé, so I was extremelypleased I got into the class. Butthen it comes, how am I going topay for it?” Palmer said.
The Town is not providingfinancial support for the $11,950trip. However, Palmer wasawarded a partial scholarship.
Mayor Ralph McGill said,“[Palmer] has pursued continu-ally newer education opportuni-ties, and this is just another oneon his list. We are proud of him… that seems to be his thing —continually educating himself,and I say good for you.”
Palmer said he is counting onthe information to be usefultools in improving Farragut com-munity’s management.
Town asks residents to take online survey■ COURTNEY SUCH
A community-wide surveywent live on town of Farragut’shomepage last Thursday, May29, a research-based question-naire as a part of the Town’songoing marketing and brand-ing project.
The project, spearheaded byNorth Star Destination Strat-egies, remains within budgetthanks to a payment splitbetween two fiscal years.Future projects results, howev-
er, call for will need to be indi-vidually approved.
This new brand is expectedto be a Farragut normalcy in atwo-to-three year span.
“Now that we [town ofFarragut] are 34 years old, wehave decided that it is time tofigure out who we really areand where we need to go fromhere,” Chelsey Riemann, publicrelations coordinator for theTown, said.
Results from the survey willbe available in late Novemberin one large packet, which will
include a variety of new strate-gic marketing plans to choosefrom, a new logo and a colorpallet to use in every redesignproject in the Town’s future.Such projects include a websiteredesign, new paper products,T-shirts and uniforms.
“I would say I’m excited forthe whole concept of the com-munity coming together to livethe brand. I think it will reallyhelp with the strategic direc-tion of a lot of the communitydevelopment organizationsthat are working on the behalf
of Farragut,” Allison Sousa,Farragut Business Allianceexecutive director and TownMarketing and Rebrandingcommittee member, said.
“We all will be singing fromthe same song sheet, and hope-fully that will leverage oureffectiveness,” she added.
The survey includes 25 multi-ple choice and fill in the blankquestions to gain the mostaccurate information possible.It is available through the end

of June and takes about 15-30minutes to complete. Severalfocus groups were asked to takethe survey as a trial throughoutthe past few months, but accord-ing to Riemann, this is the firsttime in Farragut history thistype of questionnaire is avail-able to the entire community.
“I think it’s just to give every-one a greater sense of the com-munity that they live in, and Ithink we all are going to takepride in this new brand, so wehope that citizens and businessowners alike will just rallyaround it,” Riemann said.
North Star Destination out ofNashville was hired for the jobin late 2013.
“I am blown away by this com-pany. They are not just a brand-ing company … their niché isworking with towns, communi-ties and cities all over thenation and even throughout theworld, and they are doing exact-ly what we have asked them todo,” Sousa said.

haven't figured out why, but itdepends at least in part on tem-perature and soil moisture. It'simpossible to predict in advanceexactly whenthe insects willbegin flashingeach year.
As the seasonbegins, a fewinsects startflashing, thenmore join thedisplay as thedays pass. Theyreach a "peak"when the great-est number ofinsects are dis-playing. Afterpeak, the num-bers graduallydecline eachday until themating seasonis over. Since 1993, this peakdate has occurred at varioustimes from the third week of Mayto the third week in June.

townview: recognizing Town staff presstalk 671-TALK• What I saw just broke my
heart and knew I just had to saysomething. I went for a morningwalk with my dog and saw twonice women jogging down TurkeyCreek [Road] and noticed asmall/medium very thick-haireddog just heavily panting taggingalong while these two just joggedand talked. The reason it brokemy heart was not only was itwarm and humid, but, I knewthese two were at least two milesor more from a house, as I havenot seen them nor the dogaround our neighborhood. So, itmeant that this poor cute doghad a long way to go to get somerelief. And the reason I am writ-ing this is for all those whoapparently don’t love their dogs,like all you joggers who thinkthat your pooches just love torun those many miles in the verywarm humid heat. And evenwhen YOU think it’s cool enoughoutside, a lot of time it’s just notfor them. Sorry … he/she justdoes not love doing it. Dogs arenot meant to just get up and runtwo to five miles with no stop-ping on a lovely warm/hot humidday. Maybe you want to go outand work up a good sweat andfeel exhilarated doing so, butyour dog is only miserable andyou are killing him in theprocess. Yes, most dogs love torun. Some dogs are bred andtrained to run long distances,but, the word trained is impor-tant and the health of the animalcomes first. Most dogs love torun but play doing so. You all outthere know who I’m talkingabout. I see you when I’m walk-ing my dog or driving aroundFarragut and notice you are farfrom a home just jogging your bigheart out at a rapid pace withyour little dogs heart just laggingbehind just wanting to please itsowner. Now, if you feel I amwrong and maybe I am on somecircumstances, just do this. Iwant you to cover yourself fromhead to toes, all areas of thebody (nothing exposed but yournose and eyes), with a nice coatof hair, and make it thick like adog, knowing you can only sweatfrom your paws. Now, take offyour cushy running shoes andapply on little pads to the justthe balls and the heels of yourfeet and go out and run that twoto five miles, on concrete, in 75-
80 degrees/70 percent humidityin the blazing sun and really dotell yourself, are you having fun?Please be kind to your dog, if hereally does want to run, do so,but give him the chance to deter-mine how long and far, and knowthat even though you may not beoverly warm or hot, they are.Take him to the dog park and hecan run and stop went he wants.And you can jog your big heartout miles on the track next tohim. He/she just loves you so lovehim back. Granted I am not a vetand would love to hear thethoughts of some vets out there.

the school board a quarter of amillion dollars,” Armstrong added.
Though Fugate said “up to $3million” could be on the table if thecounty sought penalties and inter-est, Armstrong said, “All I want todo is try to get what is owed theschool board, get them theirmoney, without hurting Farragut.”
However, “This idea of ‘well,we’ve given money and we’ve givenmoney and we’ve done this andwe’ve done that,’ I give money to theschools, too, but I still have to paymy Property Tax,” Armstrong said.
“The law is they pay the schoolsystem” and not just the fourFarragut schools plus HVA,Armstrong added. Moreover, “KnoxCounty and [City of] Knoxvillegives 72 percent [of Mixed DrinkUse Tax] while Farragut gives 50percent,” Armstrong added. “TheCity had no problem becausethey’ve always paid it. The Countyhad a problem but we negotiated asettlement. They’re paying theirsin full and they’re paying it overtime. … The School Board’saccepted it.”
Fugate added, “I always assumedany contributions they were mak-
ing to Farragut schools were whatthey were using over and abovecompensating for that tax differen-tial. ... They were doing that any-way, not as a substitute for theMixed Drink Tax,” Fugate added.
Looking ahead, Armstrong saidhe and Tom Hale, town of Farragutattorney, “Will probably come face-to-face eventually. ... Once we filethe lawsuit I’ll probably be negoti-ating with him.”
Attempts to contact Hale wereunsuccessful prior to deadline.
Though the Town’s grant moneywas not made available to KCS forcountywide use, Farragut MayorRalph McGill said the Town contri-butions “still went to benefit theschools. … It’s a sizable sum.”
About the lack of knowledgeconcerning the Mixed Drink Taxrequirements among municipali-ties statewide, McGill said, “Surelythe state has to have some culpa-bility in this because they’re theones who wrote the law that no oneunderstood. We’re not sitting outhere by ourselves. There’s 43 citiesin Tennessee in the same boat.Does that mean we’re all ignorant?No. It means something was veryconfusing.”
Concerning City of Knoxville andother statewide municipalities
that did know and have paid thetax, McGill said, “They apparentlyhave a better window into the statethan we do.”
Fugate said she has “been invit-ed to a meeting on June 9. Thatwill be the first conversation I’veever had with the mayor of thetown of Farragut. I think he’s com-ing to that.”
That would also include, accord-ing to Fugate, Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr.,KCS superintendent, plus “the[Knox] County Finance director[Chris Caldwell] and I think DavidSanders from the Law Director’soffice who works with the schoolsystem.”
From the Board of Educationand KCS perspective, Fugate andMcIntyre comprise “the executivecommittee of the board” andagreed with the decision to file thelawsuit, Fugate said.
While the entire Board still mustformally vote to approve the law-suit, Fugate said the Board hadbeen advised of a potential lawsuit“and no one objected” during aBoard workshop Tuesday, May 27.
If not settled by Dec. 31, “I thinkthe [state] comptroller will take itover and they’ll collect it,”Armstrong said. “And it’s not goingto be negotiable.”

For the remainder of 2014, I’dlike to highlight each town ofFarragut staff department —the people who are committed tos e r v i n gthe citi-zens ofFarragut.I hopet h e s eco lumnswill pro-vide valu-a b l ei n s i g h tinto theb e h i n d -t h e -s c e n e swork hap-p e n i n gevery dayto provide the highest level ofservices and support for ourTown.
When you see the white truckswith the blue Town Seal on theside of the street or in our parks,you’re likely witnessing thePublic Works Department inaction. It is fitting to begin thisseries with Public Works as theAmerican Public Works
Association just celebrated itsNational Public Works in mid-May. The APWA defines publicworks as “the combination ofphysical assets, managementpractices, policies, and person-nel necessary for government toprovide and sustain structuresand services essential to the wel-fare and acceptable quality oflife for its citizens.” By maintain-ing our public infrastructure —including parks, greenways andpublic buildings — as well asensuring public safety — includ-ing sidewalks, snow removal andstreet repair — the Public WorksDepartment truly does increasethe quality of life in Farragut.
Started in 1987 with two full-time employees and one truck,the Public Works Departmenthas now grown to an 11-acreproperty off Fretz Road with 19full-time crew members, onepart-time administrative assis-tant, and up to four seasonalpart-time positions during theyear.
Following are a few tasks han-dled by the department:
• Mow, maintain and installlandscaping at all public green
spaces, including portions ofFarragut’s four main greenwaysand approximately 133 acres atour four parks, and mow allRight-of-Way on major roads.
• Install, repair and maintainpublic sidewalks and patch pot-holes on public streets.
• Maintain traffic signals,install and replace regulatorytraffic signs, and perform need-ed improvements to pedestriancrosswalks.
• During winter weatherevents, utilize five trucks withsnowplows to perform snow andice removal for 155 areas androads and run three, rotating 24-hour shifts until roads areimproved.
• Assist with beautificationprojects and special events, suchas the installation of six seasonalstreet banners and the construc-tion of 45 lighted trees for anannual holiday event.
This is just a sample of themany tasks and accomplish-ments handled by the PublicWorks Department. Please joinme in thanking these Town stafffor keeping Farragut beautifuland safe.

A chip off the old block fromwhat might be Bearden HighSchool’s ultimate soccer family,Ryan Radcliffe is attempting tofill some huge coaching shoes.
Radcliffe, 25, an All-state BHSmidfielder who helped lead theSoccerDawgs to the 2006 TSSAAClass AAA state title (Class of2007) and who already has beena teacher at the school (algebra
in Special Education depart-ment), was hired last week totake over Bearden’s girls andboys soccer programs from leg-endary coach Eric Turner.
“He was a great player andmore importantly, he’s a greatkid,” Turner said of Radcliffe,who went on to become a starmidfielder at Maryville College.“He’s been around the programsince he was 7, 8, 9 years old.

Building on his 10th-place fin-ish in last fall’s TSSAA ClassAAA Boys Golf StateTournament, Farragut risingjunior Brian Clark set aTennessee Golf AssociationJunior Tour record for 18-holeplay last week.
Playing the blue [champi-onship] tees at Dandridge Golf& Country Club, Clark fired a 62(10-under-par) on the 6,061-yard course Tuesday, May 27.
Hayden Echols, TGA JuniorTour assistant director of com-petitions, confirmed Clark’s 62was indeed a record in theTour’s 19-year history: one eagle,eight birdies and nine pars, fir-ing a 31 on the front nine and31 on the back nine holes.
“His 62 beat the previousrecord by three [strokes] thatstood for several years,” Echolssaid. “A 16- to 18-year-old kidshooting a 62 is somethingalmost unheard of. Obviouslyjust unbelievable play that dayout of Brian.
“We foresee that 62 standingas a record for a long time tocome,” Echols added. “It goes tospeak of how well, and how far,junior golf has come and justhow good these kids are.
“Brian’s 62 is kind of a shin-ing light on junior golf and howgood they are.”
Saying it was “pretty crazy outthere,” Clark, 16, added abouthis success, “It was more ironplay. I was hitting it inside of 10feet most of the time with mybirdies. I was making every putt
from like 10 feet and in. “I started off with four birdies
in a row, and then made fourpars and then made a birdie on9. … I played really solid afterthat.”
As for his eagle, “I think itwas on 14,” Clark said.
About his previous experienceon this Dandridge course, Clarksaid, “I had played the back sidebefore but I had never seen the
front side.” That previ-
ous “backside” experi-ence, “in atournamentin the sixthor seventhgrade” alsoproved to beground-breaking for
Clark. “I shot two-under, that was
my first ever sub-par round,” hesaid. “That’s been a good coursefor me.”
Before his 10th-place statefinish last season as a sopho-more at Farragut, Clark said heplayed “mostly [No.] four orfive” in the Admirals’ rotation.
While helping Farragut claima state runner-up trophy lastfall, “We didn’t have any sen-iors,” Clark said about anAdmirals team expected toreturn intact for this upcomingseason.
“I think I’ll be a better teamplayer,” he added. “I think I’llbe more focused and I’ll knowwhat to expect.”

That “little guy” eighth-grade catcher fromthe little Middle Tennessee town of Monterey,Matt Buckner, has become a big-time statechampionship baseball coach at one of EastTennessee's bigger high schools.
Buckner, a self-described “grinder” interms of pre-game intensity, still took timejust moments before his own championshipshowdown to hug his mentor, Tommy Pharr,after Pharr won his sixth TSSAA baseballstate championship.
Pharr's Christian Academy of KnoxvilleWarriors just finished edging rival KnoxvilleCatholic 6-5 Friday afternoon, May 23, inMurfreesboro.
Buckner would get his own championshiphugs about two hours later — most notablyhis young son, Lukas — winning his thirdTSSAA state title in five years as Pharr's suc-cessor at Farragut.
Now close friends, Pharr's mentorship ofBuckner started with the elder coach's firstTSSAA job, Monterey head coach, in the mid-1990s.
“I remember he played as an eighth-grader.He was little back then. I used to tell himwhen we were taking infield not to yell untilhis voice changed,” Pharr said as he andBuckner laughed.
“When I think of Matt when he was young Ithink of a guy with passion for playing, he

“He knows exactly how the pro-gram runs, and I think it shouldbe a pretty smooth transition,”Turner added. “I think he’ll do agreat job.”
As for coaching experience,Radcliffe has been a club levelcoach “for several years” accord-ing to Morgan Shinlever, Beardenathletic director and head foot-ball coach.
“We were searching for what wefelt was the best soccer coach forBHS. We also want a person whocould carry BHS soccer as boththe boys and girls head coach,” headded. “We have a soccer programat BHS, not two separate teams,and Ryan understand that bond.It is just an added bonus thatRyan is part of the BHS family andgrew up being a Bulldog.
“We are confident that Ryanwill continue to build upon theproud tradition and reputation
BHS holds in soccer. Ryan is agood fit for our program becauseof his soccer background, knowl-edge and passion for the sport.”
Radcliffe has quite a family treeof soccer involvement and suc-cess. His mother, Linda Radcliffe,was a BHS assistant coach thatincluded all of Ryan’s years play-ing at Bearden (2004-2007). Shehelped Turner win five state titlesand a national title (2002).
Ryan’s older brother, DerickRadcliffe, was an All-Americanmidfielder with the SoccerDawgs(2000-2003) who helped deliveron that undefeated nationalchampionship plus two statetitles (2001 and 2002).
Derick went on to star at theUniversity of Alabama Birming-ham before playing some profes-sional soccer.
Rick Radcliffe, Ryan’s father, isan avid booster.
(Attempts to contact coachRadcliffe were unsuccessful atdeadline).
Meanwhile, Clark attemptedto qualify for the TennesseeJunior Amateur, with an 18-holequalifying round at Creeks Bendin Chattanooga Tuesday, June 3.
In July at Cherokee CountryClub in Knoxville, “Hopefully I’llqualify for State Am,” Clark said.
While noting that wedge andiron play are his strengths, Clarksaid his biggest challenge is “def-initely driving accuracy.”
A member of Fox Den CountryClub who started playing golf inthe third grade, Clark said he’son the FDCC course “every dayout there just grinding.”
Crediting his father, DavidClark, for teaching him “the lovefor the game,” Clark said he hada turning-point moment in mid-dle school.
“I really realized, ‘this is mygame,’ in the sixth grade and ‘Ican really play it,’” Clark added.“’Maybe do something special.’”
Mission accomplished.
enjoyed playing,” Pharr added.“He was a hard worker in a lot ofthings that have made him suc-cessful now. He loved the game.”
Though noting Monterey was asmall school, Buckner said, “Iwas a good player there. … Agood defender.”
“I was crushed when [Pharr]left after my junior year.”
After a stop at Roane State asa junior college catcher,Buckner went on to earn hisundergraduate and mastersdegrees in education from TheUniversity of Tennessee.
It was while he was a UT stu-dent that Buckner reacquaintedhimself with Pharr, who was inhis third season as FHS headcoach, becoming a volunteercoach in 2000.
“I asked him if I could helpcoach. That's how it started,”Buckner said about his two yearsas a volunteer coach, 2000 and2001, before taking off the 2002season to concentrate on hismasters degree. Pharr thenhired Buckner, who became ateacher at Bearden High Schoolin the 2002-2003 school year, asa full-time assistant in 2003.
“When I came to UT, he wasthe only person I knew here inbaseball,” Buckner, a physicaleducation teacher at FHS, addedabout Pharr. “It worked out pret-ty good for me, obviously. … Ididn't know a whole lot aboutthe game. … I was fortunate tohave a guy as knowledgeable ashim to learn from.”
Versus being a player, “Thecoaching aspect of it's a wholedifferent animal,” Buckner said.“He taught me the game.”
Buckner said Pharr “hasn'tchanged much” from Montereyto FHS head coach (1998-2009)and after five years at CAK.
As for common qualities,Buckner said he and Pharr “arepretty stubborn. And I wouldlike to think of us as grinders. Imean by that we're going towork at it until we get it right. …That's the thing I learned fromhim the most, is just keep beat-ing at it until you get it right.
“That may mean some hardtimes for our players.”
Despite all of Pharr's success,“He's a student of the game. He'salways trying to get an edge. Tome that's what separates him

from a lot of guys. There aren'tmany who are going to out-workhim,” Buckner said.
The 2003-2004 school yearmarked a turning point forBuckner: his first head coachingjob — but as Pharr's rival atBearden, no less.
“The field [maintenance] andthe fundraising and the boosterclub and dealing with a large pro-gram of mid-40s to 50 players. Itwas tough,” Buckner said abouttaking over at Bearden at age 25.
Buckner said a turning pointwas in 2006 when he went 4-0against his mentor while winningboth the District 4-AAA regularseason and tournament titles.
In 2008, Buckner led BHS tothe program's first-ever statetournament.
By Bearden improving underBuckner, “I think we made[Farragut] raise their level,” theformer Bulldogs coach said, apoint to which Pharr agreed.
“Another thing I learned fromTommy: if you're not good atpitching you're not going to begood at anything,” Buckner saidabout prioritizing pitching.“What I do the most is pitching.”
With Buckner and Pharr bothadmitting they don't like to com-
pete against each other, theywent head-to-head as coaches in2014 for the first time since ’09:the Ads and CAK split two games.
Coming back to FHS’s JohnHeatherly Field this season forthe first time since winning hisfifth and final state title as Adsskipper in 2009, “Those first fewyears were a little too emotion-al,” Pharr said.

Earl Graham gives a big hug to Doris Woods Owens, both from the Farragut High School Class of1943, during FHS Grand Reunion Saturday morning, May 3, in Virtue Cumberland PresbyterianChurch's Family Life Center.
■ ALAN [email protected]
While Horace Hamilton andolder brother, George Hamilton,have been the backbone inorganizing 20 Farragut HighSchool Grand Reunions datingback to 1995, Horace (FHS Classof 1945) wanted to make oneimportant point.
“Me and George [Class of1943] and our little brother, L.C. Hamilton [FHS Class of 1950]were together, and L.C. is theone that brought it up, saying weought to start having a [grand]reunion,” Horace said about hislate sibling during 2014 FHSGrand Reunion, held in Union Cumberland PresbyterianChurch’s Family Life Center,Saturday morning, May 2.
“So that’s when we started. Itwas his idea,” Horace added.“It’s worked out real good.”
Alumni from the Class of 1941were among the longest surviv-ing alumni of several dozen inattendance.
June Loy Whitaker, Class of1952, said it was in her senioryear that FHS “started a band.And when Knoxville High Schooldisbanded, they gave us theiruniforms for the band. … Andthey were blue.”
Though saying she wasn’t inthe band, “I had some friendsthat were,” Whitaker added.“Preacher Freeman, he led theband.”
Whitaker said she remembersthe former FHS football field offConcord Road as being “one oldpole light and one set of bleach-ers.”
Recalling the two years she
and older sister, Joan LoyMaysey (Class of 1950), were inhigh school together, Whitakersaid, “I did her algebra for her.”
Maysey added with a laugh,“It is the truth.”
Moreover, Whitaker added, “Iwas on the National HonorSociety.”
In 1952, “We only had 42 inour graduating class,” Whitakersaid. “The whole freshmen tosenior [enrollment] was one bigfamily, really.”
Two years earlier Maysey esti-mated her graduating class in1950 “was about 35.”
Lloyd Delaney (Class of 1950)said he was a member of thefirst FHS football team in 1947.“I played center and line-backer,” he said about his threeyears as an Admiral.
Delaney said he scored oncein his FHS football career. “Iswapped places with our quar-terback and took it in for apoint,” he said.
“Every time we won, it wasmemorable,” Delaney added.
As for teammates, Delaneyrecalled “L.C. Hamilton, C.L.Hampson, Jimmy Harvin, AlfredMcFee.”
While speaking with fellowClass of 1943 graduate DorisWoods Owens, Earl Grahamrecalled working at a “cannery”he said was built on FHSgrounds in 1941. That was twoyears before Graham joined theU.S. Army right after gradua-tion, becoming a staff sergeantand seeing World War II combataction “as a race gunner on a B-24 Liberator Bomber from mid-November 1944 until the warended. We bombed Germany,
and we even went toChechosvakia, Hungary, bombedsome of Italy.
“Knox County built a canneryon school grounds,” Grahamadded. “During the summer I

Haley Chenot works with her organic molecular model duringsome down time in FHS library.
■ ALAN [email protected]
With a unique passion forchemistry and mathematics,Haley Chenot is proud to beamong a few thousand of the tophigh school students nationwideacademically.
Chenot, a Farragut High SchoolClass of 2014 graduate, was one ofseven FHS seniors to be named aNational Merit Finalist honoreeearlier during the semester. Shejoins Reed Schneider, AkshaySoni, Lam Tran, AndrewWintenberg, Yida Wu andKenneth Ye.
“I almost cried when I openedthe little letter because I was soexcited,” Chenot said.
“It’s a very big deal because Iwant to say only 15,000 kids in thenation actually get this award. …The top one percent of the nation,essentially. That’s a big deal for alot of [colleges],” said Chenot, 17,who is headed to Georgia Techseeking to become a chemicalengineer major. “You have to get avery high score on your PSAT,which is like the practice SAT,and then you also have to back
that up with grades to make sureit wasn’t just a fluke.”
Quick to point out her alreadyimpressive 4.30 grade point aver-age could have been higher,“That’s just because I had march-ing and concert band for sevensemesters, which brought downmy GPA a lot,” she said.
Farragut’s seven honorees “israre for a school,” Chenot said.“Most schools only get one or twoif any.
“It’s a really big honor to be aNational Merit Finalist.”
As for her desire to be a chemi-cal engineer, “I really love chem-istry and I really love math, and Ijust get really excited about it,”Chenot said. “And I figure if I’mgoing into a field, that if I choosesomething I’m really super excit-ed about it’s going to make therest of my life worthwhile.
“I think you have to love what
you do, otherwise what’s thepoint,” she added.
Chenot said her passion for sci-ence and math “mostly came fromthe past three years, probably. It’smostly because I took chemistryand I found that I was good at itand I really like it. And I’ve alwaysloved math. Since I can rememberit’s just been something thatcomes naturally to me.”
During the past three semestersdating back to summer 2013, “I’vehad an internship down at UTK intheir organic polymer researchlab, so that kind of opened myeyes to the wonderful world ofchemistry. And so I got to explorethat more,” she said.
“And I’ve just been blessed withso many great experiences thathave helped reinforce the factthat it’s really something I canlove for the rest of my life,”Chenot added.

Eventbegins at 8 p.m., Saturday, June21, on the waters of FortLoudoun Lake at The Cove atConcord Park.
“t’s such a wonderful displayof like-minded organizationscoming out to support KARM,”McCartney added. “It wasn’t justone team that raised a whole lotof money, it was just such a greatcollective effort.
“I love this event. This is myfavorite event.”
As of May 29, “We have 48teams,” McCartney said.
With 21 members per team,“The team captain’s job is torally their people together andencourage them and educatethem about what KARM does,”McCartney said. “So those 21people turn into active fundrais-ers for KARM leading up toevent day. They’re sharing withtheir circle of influence, withtheir friends and their col-leagues and their church fami-ly.”
McCarley said the variousteams — mostly comprised ofFarragut, Knox and Knox areabusinesses and churches —“have had some fun and reallycreative fundraising events.”
For example, “First UtilityDistrict, they always come onstrong. They’ve been activefundraisers every year they’vebeen involved. They’re awe-some,” McCartney said aboutthe FUD “Fuddy Duddies,” anannual Dragon Boat Fest partic-ipant.
Among top fundraisingDragon Boat businesses inFarragut is Hicks Orthodontics,which will be participating for athird straight year according toMcCartney.

Parents, teachers and others inthe Farragut community cameout to see Farragut High Schoolstudents’ talents and skills high-lighted during the school’sAcademy Night.
Held Tuesday, April 29, theevent offered the public anopportunity to see what the sen-iors have been working on withsenior projects, experiments andshadowing.
For example, SamanthaLinkowski worked in Farragutbranch of Knox County PublicLibrary, shelving books for hersenior project while CourtneyWills worked at the Oak RidgeCivic Ballet, cleaning and organ-izing costumes. Katie Beverlienpresented her findings on a sci-entific research project.
“I love it,” Beverlien said aboutAcademy Night. “I got to seeeveryone else’s project, and theyget to see mine.”
Beverlien got accepted in thepre-collegiate research programat The University of Tennessee.To be accepted into that pro-gram, she had to join the school’sSTEM Academy, Alice Thornton,FHS science teacher, said.
“I think [Academy Night] is areally great experience,” seniorAmani Alshibli said. “It’s fun tosee what other students in ourschool were up to this semesterand see teachers and guests.”
“This is an amazing event,”
Susan Bolinger, college counselorat FHS, said. “We have reallysuperb students here. It’s great toshowcase their talents and abili-ties.”
“I think it’s amazing,” AditiRangnekar, an FHS senior, said.“I’m thankful to have had theopportunity to shadow at such ayoung age. Graduate students aredoing that. I get to participate init now, and it is really helped medecide what I want to do when Iget older.”
Rangnekar, who shadowed doc-tors at Turkey Creek MedicalCenter, said she wants to go intomedicine.
Alexis Brossett, another senior,was mentored by Dr. AmieGoodrich with Village VeterinaryMedical Center in Farragut, andsaid her experience helped herdecide a career in veterinarymedicine. She said the mentor-ship with Goodrich taught herthings some students never learnuntil they go into veterinaryschool and do graduate work.
“I actually had taught at thecollege level, as well, so Ireally appreciate these students’having the opportunity to under-go the entire scientific processinvolved in setting upresearch,” Holly Kelly, a FHS sci-ence department teacher, said.“These students have gainedan unprecedented level of experience at this level.”

Melissa Yu and Raaghul Senthilkumar, Farragut High School jun-iors who each won first-place awards in state Science Olympiadcompetition, have some fun going through a psychology book inFHS library.
FHS has 5 Olympiad champs■ ALAN SLOAN
Raaghul Senthilkumar said he’s“not really good at writingessays,” and that he’s hardly anexpert on glaciers.
But this Farragut High Schooljunior joined forces with fellowjunior Jason Fu, and the pairmanaged to successfully combinethe subject of glaciers into threeessay questions. The result waswinning first place in the catego-ry of Dynamic Planet during thestatewide Science Olympiad atThe University of Tennessee,Knoxville, Saturday, April 12.
Saying he was new to this typeof competition, “I didn’t think Iwould get first place. I thought Idid really bad. I didn’t even thinkI would place,” Senthilkumaradded.
Meanwhile, FHS junior MelissaYu won a pair of first place awardsteaming up with seniors Lam Tranand Akshay Soni in MagLev andCircuit Lab, respectively, helpingthe 15-member Farragut team asa whole finish seventh among afield of 20 teams.
Knowing your topic “about aweek” in advance according toSenthilkumar, “You just have tostudy it, and the test was threeessay problems,” he added.
Sporting a 4.45 grade pointaverage, “I put in three to fourhours” studying glaciers,Senthilkumar said.
Now enthused about ScienceOlympiad, “I’m planning on doingthe same event next year and seeif I can get first place again,”Senthilkumar said.
As for Yu and Soni finishingfirst in Circuit Lab, “There’s awritten portion and like a practi-cal portion,” Yu, with roughly a4.60 GPA, said. “There’s this onepart where you have to use voltmeters to measure stuff.”
Overall, “It was a really greatexperience because we had just
been learning about circuits inphysics right when we went to thecompetition,” Yu added. “And so Igot to use what we’d learned inphysics in a competition setting.… It just lets you think more, notonly about some of the basic con-cepts, but sort of expand on whatyou know.”
Teaming up with Tran to winMagLev, Yu said, “It’s basically whereyou build a maglev at home. It’s amagnetically levitated train signal.… You use electromagnets. It’s like atwo-part thing. You had to build ahomemade maglev and you had a
track. … And there was also a writ-ten portion.”
Enjoying good timing, “We hadjust been learning about magnet-ism in class,” Yu said. “Lam wasgreat with maglev.”
Crediting her teacher, MattMilligan, for success in both com-petitions, “Mr. Milligan is a greatteacher,” Yu said.
Both Senthilkumar and Yuearned their spot at UT based onwinning Science OlympiadRegionals at East Tennessee StateUniversity in Johnson City earlierin the 2013-14 school year.

“Cheryl and I went to the Derbyin ’77 and watched Seattle Slew[eventual Triple Crown winner],we were there in box seats. Someold man had given us his tickets.
That was such a thrill. We just lovethe Derby,” George Kershaw saidabout the couple’s one visit toChurchill Downs.
The Beelers’ new Craftsmanstyle home in Concord, alongsidethe partially wooded shoreline ofFort Loudoun Lake nearNorthshore Drive, drew roughly 65guests. Most were dressed in tra-ditional Derby Day attire, enjoyingthe traditional mint juleps alongwith fine wine, catered meals fea-turing fried fish and barbecue,

lively conversation and lots ofChurchill Downs racing.
About choosing CaliforniaChrome, considered the pre-racefavorite to win with odds of 5-to-2,Kershaw said that horse “had wonfour in a row” in California races.“I just thought, ‘How could you betagainst a horse that had won four
in a row?’“The only thing I was doubtful
about: he had never raced out ofCalifornia,” Kershaw added.
Greg Swersky said about hischoice of California Chrome towin, “I knew nothing about thehorse, I just liked the name. Ipicked it early this morning. I did-n’t look at the odds.”
Though saying he covered betsby his daughter, wife and mother
that weren’t on CaliforniaChrome, “I still cleared about$60,” Swersky added.
Phil Dortch, another of the 10California Chrome winners whosaid he cleared $104 with two win-ning tickets, simply comparedodds.
“I’ve never seen a race whereyou had one favorite and the restof them were just terrible odds,”Dortch said.
A total of $620 was wageredwith Champ Beeler facilitatingthe wagering but taking no profit.
The Beelers, having hosted sev-eral Kentucky Derby parties attheir former home in Willow Covenear Boyd Station Road inConcord in the late 1990s andearly 2000s, got back into theswing of things this year.
Jayne Sharp of Farragut hadhosted the previous 10 Derby Day
parties. “It’s fun. I grew up in Lexington
and horse racing’s always been apart of my heritage,” Champ said.“My father was a thoroughbredtrainer. We never ran a horse inthe Derby but we ran Derby Day.”
“It’s been a blast, we’ve enjoyedit,” Karen Beeler said about host-ing, adding their new home andpicturesque setting “is a blessing.”

Flying with kids? Be organizedI’m happy to announce I’m fea-
tured in American Airways maga-zine thism o n t h !With thatgood news Ithought I’dwrite aboutflying withlittle ones.Now thatv a c a t i o ntime in fullswing andif you planto fly withyour kids,here are mytop ten tipsfor happy flying. . . short of drugs.
1.Be Prepared Designate a carry-on as the
entertainment bag. Keep what’sin it a secret, bringing out sur-prises as the trip goes. Busy kidsare happy kids. Bored ones havethe ability to terrorize everyoneon a flight, including you.
✔ books✔ notebooks
✔ pens✔ crayons✔ coloring books✔ Ipod with favorite movie ✔ Kindle2. Get Gum Children have very small ear
canals and when the cabin ispressurized tiny ears can hurt.Chewing sugarless gum can helpand once the jet is air bound itisn’t needed.
3. Let it Suck Nurse during take-off, or have a
binky ready. I don’t think I’veever taken off without hearing aninfant screaming because his lit-tle ears hurt. Sucking helps.
4. Turn Bedtime into Fly-timeMatching PJs don’t just have to
be at Christmastime. Deck yourwhole family out in new jammiesfor the flight. You’ll crack up theflight attendants as well as fellowpassengers. Tell your kids you getto have a pajama party on theplane. You may have a hard timesleeping on a flight, but I’ve nevermet a kid on a red-eye that wasn’tasleep and I’d love to see a fun-
loving family dressed for bed on ared-eye.
5. No Sugar When the flight attendant
comes by with the free sodas andjuice, just say “NO, water or milkplease.” Bring treats high in pro-tein and fat. Nuts and cheese,veggies and mayo. Hungry chil-dren and those high on sugar willget fussy and disruptive.
6. Make Sure Price is RightCheck the ticket prices for
infants as you may be chargedmore for your baby than yourself.Some airlines charge up to 75%for a ticket without a seat. In thiscase you don't save money! Buy anormal ticket. At least you’ll getextra space and that’s really valuable.
7. Go Potty Before Take-off Even the ones who pipe up and
say, “I don’t have to,” make sureeverybody goes before take-off.Cut back on fluids before theflight, the same as you do beforebedtime or they’ll be up and downthe aisle. Torture for the guy whosits in the aisle seat and your
kid’s are in the window seat. Thisis sensible advice for adults too.Drinking five pints of beer beforegetting on the plane is dangerous,especially if you’re held up duringtaxiing. Of course, there’s alwaysDepends.
8. The Air Police areWatching
One of my friends who had tofly with her rather hyper three-year-old told me this worked won-ders. “I warned Rachel to behaveor the Air Police would have tocome. I pointed out the TSA uni-formed agents and told her theyalso look out for badly behavedchildren. I’m not suggesting Iscared her out of her wits and Ididn’t tell her what’d happen ifthey caught her being a brat; Ijust used the suggestion as a wayto teach her respect for those inuniform and it definitely gave mea psychological edge.”
9. Peek-a-BooBabies love to be held up over
your head. On a flight, they get tosee all the passengers and manywill be trying to get baby’s atten-
tion. It’s a great way to calm ababy and it’s good for your upperarm muscles.
10. Practice EnlightenedSelfishness
Follow one of the airline’s car-dinal rules: in case the cabinloses pressure, put your oxygenmask on first and then assist yourchild. Take care of yourself firstand everything will take care ofitself. If you feel good and arerested, you’ll be far more able tocope with the inevitable teststhrown at you by your busy littleones. So, eat right, get your sleepand give yourself plenty of time toget to the airport early.
Safe travels! Have a wonderfultime with your kids whereveryou’re going and thank you forreading my column. To see othercolumns go herehttp://hub.am/R3I9re

best I’ve had in teaching,”Waldrupe said. “I’ve reallyenjoyed it.”
Waldrupe has been teachingfor 15 years, the last three ofthose were at FMS, he said.
“After 28 years, I’m ready to gohome,” Wynn said about retiring.However, he added, if he had itto do over again, he would teach
again. Wynn taught at VineMiddle School for 15 of those 28years and Carter Middle beforecoming to FMS.
For Bridges, retiring this yearis bittersweet.
“I’m looking forward to it, butI’m going to miss my students,”she said.
Likewise, Kohlman saidshe had mixed feelings aboutretirement.
“I’m going to miss the kids and
teacher friends here at theschool,” she said, “After 40 years, I’m looking forward todoing something different.Recess forever.”
“I’m looking forward to goinghome now,” Hill said. She addedher father was in the Navy andwas with IBM so her parentsretired to Hawaii.
“So I felt like a localHawaiian,” she said. “Once I sellthe house here, I get to go home
in Hawaii. That will be so nice.”But Hill added she will miss
the students and her friends. Each of the teachers received
a stone and flower arrangementas a parting gift while Kohlmanwas honored with the Tyler DukeAward.
Stan Duke, a longtime sup-porter of Farragut schools, saidhis son, the late Tyler Duke, wasabout academics, church andathletics. Tyler came up through
the Farragut Schools but diedhis senior year.
“Today, we are recognizingteachers,” Stan Duke said.
When Stan’s mother died inDecember of cancer, she leftsome money to the family’s foun-dation. Stan presented part ofthat to the school, in honor ofKohlman, to be used to create anew science lab at FMS.

■ TAMMY CHEEK [email protected]
Embroidery Boutique byDesigns for You, owned byLaurae and Gary Hathaway, ismoving from its Tellico Villagelocation to 141 Brooklawn St.,next to Kroger, in Farragut.
“We are slotting the openingfor Monday, June 16,” DebbieNohe, general manager, said. Aribbon-cutting ceremony, to beconducted by Farragut WestKnoxville Chamber of Commerce,is set for 11 a.m., Tuesday, July 15.
Embroidery Boutique is a fam-ily-owned and operated mono-gram and embroidery companyand gift store that provides digi-tized embroidery to create logos,Laurae Hathaway said.
“We work with the differentbusinesses, whether it be themedical field or schools, clubs,”she said, adding those logos canbe placed on shirts, bags and anyother apparel that can beembroidered. “We take pride inour high-quality, quick turn-around. We have in-house digitiz-
ing capability with over 25-plusyears of experience.”
Embroidered designs can beadded to personal gifts. “Whatmakes us different is you canbring in your own items to beembroidered. You don’t have tobuy the stuff from us,” Nohe said.
Embroidery Boutique wasestablished 25 years ago asDesigns for You in Boca Raton,Fla.
“I never dreamed it would takeoff like it did,” Hathaway said. “Ilove what I do because you cantake the simplest thing andembroider it, whether it be adesign or a monogram, and it’s somuch more personal than justbuying something off the shelf.”
The Hathaways brought thecompany to Tennessee almost 10years ago, she said.
Gary brings his sales andfinance experience with IBM toprovide in-house digitizing, back-room business and technicalskills to Embroidery Boutique,and Laurae brings the embroi-dery experience she has devel-oped since she was a teenager.
