[email protected]

What became new in Farragutand the immediate area during2014 included a South Wardalderman, a future District 7state senator not namedCampfield, two Farragut publicschool principals, two Congres-sional Medal of Honor visitors,construction to make it easierentering and coming off theInterstate, a re-branded parkand a half marathon.

Controversies included a law-suit over just how much MixedDrink Tax town of Farragut owedKnox County Schools and aneighborhood looking to stop asenior living center.

A settlement was reachedbetween town of Farragut andKnox County after the countyfiled a lawsuit seeking to recoveroverdue Mixed Drink Tax rev-enues. The agreement stipulatesthe Town would pay KCS$1,106,829, which represents 50percent of the revenues collect-ed from the Mixed Drink Taxfrom 1999 to 2013, Allison Myers,Town recorder, said. She addedthat amount would be paid out ininstallments over a three-yearperiod with each installment$368,943.

Dozens of Grigsby ChapelRoad residents continued theirprotests into November againstTDK Construction’s request torezone a parcel of property,located next to Chapel Pointe offGrigsby Chapel Road, to R-6, azoning change that would allowmulti-family housing or apart-ments. Farragut MunicipalPlanning Commission votedagainst recommending therezoning to Board of Mayor andAldermen, by a 6-2 vote, duringits Dec. 18 meeting.

Key highway and roadimprovements included the I-40/75 interchange at CampbellStation Road, which brokeground in November. It willinclude longer ramp lengths, anadditional exit lane and a newtraffic signal at the eastboundexit ramp to Campbell StationRoad to allow traffic to turn safe-ly off the exit ramp, and onto theentry ramp, Mark Nagi,Tennessee Department ofTransportation Region I commu-nity relations officer, said.

If a pair of professional esti-mates were close to reality, areconfigured and supposedlymuch safer Dixie Lee Junction(intersection of state highways11 and 70) would be constructedand operational by 2017. “Whilewe anticipate a fall 2015 con-struction letting, the progress ofthe Right of Way phase willdetermine the earliest lettingdate,” Nagi said last summer.

A 110-foot diameter round-about at the intersection ofNorthshore Drive and ChotoRoad opened in October.

Among new things in Farragutwas changing the name of

Campbell Station Park toFounders Park at CampbellStation.

The inaugural Farragut 13.1Half Marathon was a success forformer FHS Lady Admirals trackstar Gina Recher Rouse, whosuccessfully battled cold andwindy conditions to cross the fin-ish line as fastest female (1 hour,20 minutes, 36 seconds), earninga $1,000 first-place check.

Men’s champ PatrickCheptoek from Boiling Green,Ky. also was overall champ (1hour, 9 minutes, 38 seconds)among 755 total participantsfrom at least 13 states.

Two Congressional Medal ofHonor recipients visited HardinValley Academy Friday morning,Sept. 12, in conjunction withCongressional Medal of HonorConvention in Knoxville Sept. 10-13. Retired U.S. Army Col. RogerDonlon and retired U.S. ArmyMaj. James Taylor both areVietnam veterans who arrivedvia Blackhawk helicopter.

Farragut Board of Mayor andAldermen voted to approve aprofessional services agreementwith North Star DestinationStrategies of Nashville to provideresearch for branding and mar-keting the Town during itsThursday, Feb. 13, meeting.

Town leaders also began seek-ing architectural guidelines forits newly constructed and reno-vated commercial buildings, hir-ing a Colorado firm to conceive aplan.

Michael Reynolds, principal atFHS for 10years and af o r m e rteacher andcoach at theschool, wasreassignedto becomeprincipal atK n o x v i l l eCentral HighSchool for

the 2014-15 school year.Stephanie Thompson was chosenby Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr., KCSsuperintendent, as interim FHSprincipal for at least the 14-15school year.

North Ward Alderman 1 BobMarkli and a 65-year-old politicalrookie, Ron Pinchok, as newSouth Ward Alderman 2, amongits three positions up for grabson Election Day, Thursday, Aug.7.

Richard Briggs, former KnoxCounty District 5 commissioner,defeated GOP incumbent StaceyCampfield in the District 7 stateSenate primary, then beatDemocratic opponent Cheri Silerin the November GeneralElection.

Among crimes of note in 2014was a string of burglaries span-ning roughly three months, andresulting in more than $10,000worth of stolen items recoveredin pawned jewelry throughMarch in Farragut subdivisions.

“A masked man” brandishing ahandgun jumped over the count-er and robbed First TennesseeFinancial Center at 11864Kingston Pike March 31, takingan undisclosed amount of money.

Several cat lovers in Farragutand surrounding communitiesreported the sudden disappear-ance of their cats in 2014. Ahandful who reported their inci-

dents expressed concerns aboutanimal cruelty.

Among notable figures whodied in 2014 was Bob Watt, 76, aU.S. Army veteran, former Townvice mayor and a 1955 FHS grad-uate whose Lovell HeightsBarber Shop “was the center ofinformation exchange regardingthe young town of Farragut” inthe 1980s, former FarragutMayor Eddy Ford said.

Myers said.The site plan proposes a 252-

unit apartment development on32.31 acres to the north ofHoliday Inn Express off NorthCampbell Station Road, AshleyMiller, Community Developmentassistant director, said.

One of the “subject to’s” wasthe developers’ use of hardyplank rather than masonry onthe proposed buildings.

Jason Perry, developer withPerry Management Group, saidthe plan does have 50 percentmasonry, which the architectunderstood was acceptable, andused hardy plank to break up thebrick so it would appear less“institutional.”

Myers said he would like to seeat least 75 percent masonry onthe building and other commis-sioners agreed.

“I don’t think we are getting tothe intent of having masonry onthe buildings,” Myers said.

“I don’t have a problem withthe plan, but I would like to seeif you can enhance it further,”Commissioner Ron Honken said.

On another matter, commis-sioners unanimously approvedthe final plat, submitted by SFHoldings LLC, for Split RailFarms subdivision off EverettRoad. The subdivision includes38 lots on 13.20 acres. Twenty-sixdwellings are proposed in thatphase.

The Commission approved thedevelopment’s concept plan andpreliminary plat in June, Millersaid.

“Since that time, the applicanthas been working to completethe public improvements provid-ed for on the preliminary plat.”Miller said.

In other action, Commission-ers also voted:

• unanimously to recommendapproving a site plan for parkinglot modifications at FarragutVillage, 609 Campbell StationRoad. The modifications wouldadd more parking spaces.

Town of Farragut received aFour Star Award from TennesseeRecreation and Parks Associa-tion during its 63rd annual con-ference last November inNashville.

The award was in the FourStar Renovated Facility categoryfor the synthetic turf field proj-ect the Town installed last yearat Mayor Bob Leonard Park, SueStuhl, Farragut Parks andLeisure director, said.

“We were thrilled to get theaward,” Stuhl said during aFarragut Board of Mayor andAldermen meeting Thursday,Dec. 11. “I know there was a lotof competition. This is great forthe Town.”

“We’re excited [about gettingthe award],” she said. “This isthe parks and recreation profes-sional association for the state.”

She added the award meantthe Town was judged by its peersacross the state.

The project was involvedinstalling a synthetic turf systemon one of the rectangular athlet-ic fields in Mayor Bob Leonard

Park, Stuhl said. The project was completed in

November 2013 with the help ofa $250,000 Local Parks andRecreation Fund grant, whichwas administered by the Recre-ation Educational ServicesDivision, Tennessee Departmentof Environment and Conserva-tion.

“The field was one of the old-est in the park, and it was inneed of renovating because itwasn’t draining properly any-more, so it needed to be renovat-ed,” Stuhl said. “By installingsynthetic turf, we can use [thefield] year round, and we don’thave to close it for winter or anytime we are doing renovations.”

“The Town renovated thisaging facility into a year-roundfacility currently being used bythousands of players from over10 athletic organizations,”Chelsey Riemann, Farragut pub-lic relations coordinator, said.“This field is the first syntheticturf field available for public usein the Greater Knoxville area.”

Stuhl said a number of sportscurrently are played on the field,football, soccer and LaCross.

a 12-point night with some niftyassist passes.

Despite a handful of turnoversby Fair caused by intenseCherokees defensive pressure,Blevins said about the fuel to hisoffense, “It starts and ends withQuez Fair. The rest of us feed offQuez.”

Speaking of Fair’s improve-ment versus last season, espe-cially with his perimeter shoot-ing, Blevins added, “There’snobody at least in EastTennessee that has improved asmuch as Quez or has worked ashard as Quez from the springand summer. … He’s our playerof the game just about everynight.”

As for other Bulldogs, [Jason]Smith did his normal thinginside,” Blevins said about his 6-foot-5 junior post (team-leading14 points). I thought Austin[Duncan] did a good job offen-sively (eight points). Dakota[McGowan] hits his free throws,Sam Phillips hits a couple of bigshots and grabbed a couple ofbig rebounds.”

Phillips, a 6-foot-2 senior post,scored 12.

“They’re a very long and ath-letic team. … Their athleticismreally affected us in the thirdand fourth quarter,” Phillipssaid.

McGowan, a starting guarddespite being a freshman, scoredfour. Adam Fulcher also scoredfour points.

“It’s been a challenge for me.Definitely getting to know thenew plays. Upgrading from mid-dle school ball is a completely dif-ferent story,” McGowan, knownfor his defense and ballhandling,said. “Ballhandling, I used to do alot of junk but now I realize Ican’t do that. I have to use my


GREENEVILLE — With agame-high 35 points from sharp-shooter Mika Wester, a 6-foot-1“Division I” wing, Cocke Countyled the red-hot Bearden LadyBulldogs during much of theirLandAir Classic contest Saturday,

Dec. 27.But a 27-12 BHSfourth

quarter resulted in a 74-61Bearden victory during firstround play, improving the LadyDawgs’ record to 13-2 overall.The 16-team tournament con-cluded Wednesday, Dec. 31 (afterdeadline).

“We started very slow. Part ofthat was because they shot thelights out in the first half,”Bearden head coach JustinUnderwood said about a 35-32Cocke County halftime edge.Wester “is a Division I signee. ...Very smooth and skilled.

“I thought offensively we did avery good job in the first half. ButI thought defensively we neededto contest a few more shots,” headded. “In the third and fourthquarter we did a much better jobof being able to rotate and chal-lenge their shooters.”

Anajae Stephney, LadyBulldogs junior post, led herteam with 24 points. Trinity Lee,freshman point guard, came offthe bench to score 19. “I thinkTrinity gave us a big boost, shehit some big shots off the bench,”Underwood said. “Came in andreally gave us a lift offensively.”


SEVIERVILLE — WithFarragut’s top two post playersin foul trouble early, LadyAdmirals head coach JasonMayfield got a much-needed bal-anced scoring attack and stoutdefense in opening round holi-

day tourney action. Farragut defeated Creek

Wood, a Class AA state tourna-ment team last season fromMiddle Tennessee, 54-35 inSevier County Shootout atSevier County High SchoolSaturday, Dec. 27.

Improving to 9-4 afterSaturday’s win, the Lady

Admirals advanced to semifinalaction Monday evening, Dec. 29,

versusPigeonForge(after

deadline). That winner took onthe Fulton versus WarrenCounty winner in the champi-onship game Tuesday, Dec. 30.

“It was a weird game for us.Kristen Freeman and JaidenMcCoy both got into foul trou-ble,” Mayfield said. “We had touse our depth. We shot prettywell. … I think we made seventhree[point field goals], whichis more than what we’ve doneall year, so it was good to seethat.

“We defended pretty well. …They had a couple of post playersthat could really shoot from theperimeter. It was kind of anadjustment, but we were able toget out there and be able toguard them pretty well,” the FHSskipper added. “We had some


For all of Mark Blevins’ suc-cess as Bearden High Schoolvarsity boys basketball headcoach the past 20 seasons —dominating District 4-AAA whileaveraging 28 wins per season —his 2014-15 Bulldogs apparentlyhave plowed new ground.

With a 54-44 victory againstSouth-Doyle in semifinal actionof BSN Sports/Nike Super 16Boys Tournament at BHSSaturday night, Dec. 27,Bearden improved to a perfect

16-0. “I

thinkthat we

were 15-0 and we got beat byWest in ’99,” Blevins said aboutwhat he believes is the bestBulldogs start in his 21 seasonsat the helm.

The key to his team’s faststart this season? “Everybodycontributes,” Blevins said.“We’re not the most athleticteam but we play so hard. …Once we figure out what we’rereally supposed to do, I think wecan get better.”

Offensively, however, theBulldogs struggled somewhatwith South-Doyle’s trappingzone defense.

Bearden saw a 50-38 lead withless than two minutes to playcut to seven with 1:25 showing.The Cherokees missed a three-point field goal trying to cut thegap to four with 1:05 to play. ABulldogs rebound and JasonSmith lay-up helped BHS regaincontrol. South-Doyle fell to 8-6.

“South-Doyle is extremely ath-letic. They’ve got a good ball-club. And their athleticism hurtus,” Blevins said. “I thought weplayed probably as good as wecould.

“Rebounding-wise with them, Ithought we controlled theboards in the first half. Theywere more active in the secondhalf,” Blevins added. “And theygot a lot of steals in the secondhalf. We threw the ball away. Wedidn’t protect the ball very wellin the second half.

Nine teams for annual Hoe-Down hockey tourney■ ALAN SLOAN

[email protected]

Making money isn’t the mostimportant thing about SeventhAnnual Knoxville High SchoolHockey Hoe-Down High Tour-nament. Or any past Hoe-Down.

Although proceeds benefitKnox Amateur Hockey Associa-tion, tournament coordinatorScott Ingmand said, “We don’tmake any money on this tourna-ment. We do this because thereare high school players in thearea that never really, outside ofplaying in their league, get achance to play other talent out-side of their area. … Get on theice and give these kids a chanceto see something different.”

This season’s Hoe-Down willfeature nine teams Friday, Jan. 2,and Saturday, Jan. 3, with topfour seeds advancing to the semi-final and championship roundsSunday, Jan. 4, in Cool SportsHome of the Icearium in Farragut(See schedule on this page).

“It’s also a recharger becauseof the long break in the schoolyear for school being out [noweekly games on Thursdays thisseason due to Christmas and NewYear’s Day],” Ingmand added.“They can get back on the ice andget their legs back before theleague starts again [Thursday,Jan. 8].”

While Ingmand and other tour-nament officials “struggled to getsome teams in this year … lastyear we had a waiting list,” headded that five teams from atleast 150 miles away in the fieldhave become annual Hoe Downparticipants. “The regulars havebeen Father Ryan [Nashville] forall seven years now; the Winston-Salem Ice Hawks, they’ve beenhere every year; NorthMississippi [Monarchs] andOwensboro [Kentucky Rampage]have been for the last threeyears. Hendersonville [Comman-dos] came the second year …then came back last year,” hesaid. “… The teams that have left

here have sent communicationsback saying they love this tourna-ment.

“I can tell you the Owensboroteam this year has made com-ments that this tournamentmatches their talent really well.… They love how the tourna-ment’s run, they love the hospi-tality room that’s there for theparents and the skaters. And thebasic structure: they’re all get-ting three games in a weekend.”

These five join KAHA teamsFarragut, Bearden/Karns, Knox-ville Knights and KnoxvilleWarriors.

New for this year’s Hoe-Down isstreaming all games viahttp://www.mobilepressbox1.com/

“This is something new JohnJohannes [KAHA] hockey direc-tor started this year. … It’ll bekinda fun, especially for thoseteams that are out of state.They’ll be able to catch up towhat’s going on with the games,”Ingmand said. “We keep addingnew features every year.”

The addiction recovery story connected with Water AngelsMinistries’ House of Grace — accomplished with prayer, Biblestudy, food, shelter and loving support from First BaptistConcord volunteers instead of professional assistance — hasadded two more unlikely chapters.

With Samuel Burgin’s rap career hopes hitting a major snagin Atlanta, he stopped over in Knoxville and “went under thebridge to buy marijuana” next to Knox Area Rescue Ministrieson his way back home to Asheville, N.C., he said.

One year in House of Grace, thanks to Water AngelsMinistries founder Stephanie Mitchum, a FBC member, lucki-ly being there during his bus stop-over, Burgin not only hasturned around his life — he’s a student at Johnson BibleCollege “with a scholarship,” Mitchum said.

On top of that, Burgin returns to Water Angels to help coun-sel troubled children and youth whose home lives are, at best,unstable.

“I’ve become a leader here at Water Angels. … Water Angelsdefinitely has been a Godsend,” Burgin said while assistingWater Angels’ annual Christmas Party for homeless adults andvulnerable youth and children Sunday afternoon, Dec. 14.“They saved my life. I was headed down a one-way street toprobably certain death.

“I came here with a backpack, a broken heart and no sup-port. Now I have an apartment full of things … and I am in col-lege,” he added. Mitchum “pretty much sold me on the ideawhen she asked me, ‘What do you have to lose?’”

“I had gone under that bridge to pray for people with a group… and he was the one I prayed with,” she said. “He’s like, ‘Itried that Jesus character once. … He did nothing for me.’”

However, “We remained in contact” through Burgin’s e-mailaddress, Mitchum added. “I continued every day to send himscriptures.

“I told him, ‘If you’re ever tired of this life, I’ve got a home ifyou’re ever serious about stopping drugs.”

About being a leader, Burgin said, “It’s really inspirational tosee the kids. … I’m an example of Christ to them, and it’srewarding.”

Brad Lowe, a Village Green resident, has been working inthe maintenance department at FBC since early spring afterrecovering at House of Grace for about nine months, Mitchumsaid.

“He was on everything … anything he could get his handson,” she added. “Heroin, crack [cocaine], crystal meth. … Infact, his girlfriend died of a drug overdose.

“He went through severe depression. He wanted to die, also.And that’s when he came in,” Mitchum added about the smallhouse along University Avenue in Downtown Knoxville inwhich House of Grace is located.

Girls high school lacrosse hascome to Farragut High School —in a roundabout way.

“We’re not technically theFarragut High School LadyAdmirals,” head coach Holly Kellysaid about her Farragut LadiesLacrosse Club team, which never-theless is made up almost entire-ly of FHS students.

“I wasn’t sure there was aninterest, so we called an interest

meeting in September just to seeif I would have enough to show upfor a team,” Kelly, an anatomyand physiology teacher at FHS,said about her Farragut team.“And we’ve had about 22 thathave been consistently showingup.”

Of the 22, however, Kelly said17 had never before playedlacrosse. “In the fall we justcalled it developmental [work-outs]. We were teaching them lit-erally how to catch and pass,” sheadded.

From September intoDecember, “We worked twice aweek “for an hour-and-a-half onbasic techniques and skills of thegame … cradling [possessing theball in the stick’s net], passingand shooting … at the lacrossefield behind [Farragut] MiddleSchool,” Kelly said about their2015 regular season home field.“We’re starting to be able to moveup and down the field with con-secutive catches and passing. …

Knox County Solid Wasteaccepts the trees free from KnoxCounty residents, Zachary Joh-nson, recycling coordinator withKnox County Engineering andPublic Waste, said.

“Knox County residents shoulduse the Christmas tree recyclingservice because it is a conven-ient, safe, free, environmentallyresponsible way of disposing oftheir Christmas trees,” Johnsonsaid.

The county’s convenience cen-ters accept the Christmas treesto ensure residents have an envi-ronmentally responsible way ofdisposing of the trees after theyare done with them, he said.

Happy New Year everyone! Wasyour New Year’s Resolution to getmore organized in 2015? Or was ita New Year’s Hope?

Over the years, I’ve writtenessays onbeing lov-ing andkind toy o u r s e l fand to helpyou to fallin love withYOU. I’vededicatedmy writingcareer tohelping youand yourquest to ha-ve a peace-ful, cozy,organizedand happy home.

Until I quit hoping I could getorganized, I faithfully faced eachNew Year in a bigger mess thanthe year before, and with a biggerhope that this time I’d do it. Thatkind of hope is unconscious com-promise with doubt. It’s wishfulthinking. It’s like saying, “I’mgoing to try to get organized thisnext year.” When you try you lieand when you hope, it’s nope. Sohow do you quit hoping and tryingand just do it?

Baby steps are certainly part ofit, but for me I had to get a hold ofthe right reason to take thosebaby steps. In my hoping days myreasons to get organized werewrong. I was in a very unhappymarriage and I thought if I couldget organized he’d finally behappy with me and our marriagewould improve. I tried and hopedmy way into overwhelming chaosand misery. It wasn’t until I real-ized I wanted to get organized so Iwould have more free time to playthat I was able to break free andget out of the mess I’d created.

I got organized in 1977 and in2002 I met a person who changed


Pam Young

Make itFun!

Are your New Year’s resolutions just hope?my life. Her name is Nelly. She’smy inner child. Even though I mether 15 years after I got organized,obviously she was alive and wellbehind my desire to have morefree time to play. Doesn’t thatsound like a child’s motive? Mytheory is that we all have an innerchild and she has a great deal todo with our choices in what weeat, say and do and our motivationto get organized. We all have theability to be organized if we want to and getting the right reason it crucial.

Here’s some dialogue betweenNelly and me that might help youget the right reason to get organ-ized once and for all, startingtoday.

“Hi Little Girl, how are youdoing?”

“Fine.”“Nelly, I didn’t know you were

with me in 1977 and so many peo-ple don’t know that they have aninner child, so can you helpthem?”

“What am I suppose to do? I’mjust a kid?”

“I know, but you sure got me toget the right reason to get organ-ized way back in 1977. How’d youdo that?”

“Well, I had to just wait ‘til yougot excited about gettin’ out of themess we were in.”

“Excited?”“Yeah, remember when you

read that book by Daryl Hoole the

lady with a whole buncha kidswho was born organized and shemade it look so easy? She calledit, The Art of Homemaking.”

“Yeah, I forgot about her. Shedid make it sound easy and fun!”

“Yeah and that’s when I perkedup! I liked that feeling you had! Itmade me happy and so I justthought real very hard and I heardyou tell your sister, ‘We need to getorganized for a different reasonthis time, not so Mom’ll get tobrag about what a great job shedid raisin’ us instead of apologiz-ing to our husbands for the mess-es we turned out to be. And not soMr. Cranky Pants is happy andgets nicer. I’m gonna get organ-ized for me this time! I’m gonnahave more free time to play!’ (Ijust sorta slipped that in!)”

“You know once I got the rightreason, I had so much energy andI quit caring if I was making Mr.Cranky Pants happy. Hey did youcome up with that name or did I?”

“I did! And remember when youstarted getting organized, he justgot crankier and crankier and wegot happier and happier.”

It was true! The more organizedI got the more free time I had toplay with my kids and be creative.Housework went from drudgery tothe thrill of playing house! Nomore hoping and trying, we werehaving fun.

Mr. Cranky Pants didn’t appre-ciate my creativity. He wanted me

to make extra money being a meatwrapper (good union). Once I hadhabits and routines that servedme I was able to play more andmore. If I hadn’t gotten organizedI never would have writtenSidetracked Home Executives ormy latest book The Joy of BeingDisorganized.

Granted, I’m not a brilliantwriter and my books don’t comenear works such as War and Peaceand Gone with the Wind, but everyone of us has something good toshare with this beautiful world.We are all part of a wonderful lifeand when we get organized wereally get to play in it!

I hope (and this kind of hope isfilled with joy) you are looking for-ward to a fabulous year filled withthe fun of being organized. ThisNew Year stands before us beck-oning us to fly higher than we everhave before. Let’s christen ournew calendars with dates andplans that include our obligationsas well as fun, adventure and cre-ativity. Now that’s a good reason toget organized!

For more from Pam Young go to www.cluborganized.com.You’ll find many musings, videosof Pam in the kitchen preparingdelicious meals, videos on how toget organized, ways to loseweight and get your finances inorder, all from a reformed SLOB’spoint of view.

Residents are asked to removeany ornaments, tinsel, wireframe wreaths or other decora-tions before dropping off thetrees, he said.

“By recycling Christmas trees,Knox County hopes to raiseawareness about the advantageof keeping this type of materialout of area landfills and, instead,utilizing it to produce mulch andother beneficial soil amend-ments, which can be returned tothe landscape,” Johnson said.

Once the trees are dropped offat the center, they are hauled toKnox County’s greenwaste recy-cling contractor, Nature’s BestOrganics, where they are chippedinto mulch, which the public canpurchase from Nature’s Best.

Knox County received andrecycled 1,352 Christmas treeson 2014, Johnson said.

“They weighed 40,650pounds,” he said. “In 2013, KnoxCounty accepted and recycled2,102 Christmas trees at a totalweight of 60,361 pounds.

“There has actually been adecrease from last year to thisyear,” he said. “This may be dueto more residents purchasingartificial multi-use trees.”

Besides trees, people also mayrecycle wrapping paper and card-board gift boxes at any of the fol-lowing centers: Dutchtown, 10618Dutchtown Road; Halls; JohnSevier, 1950 W. John SevierHighway; Powell, 7311 MortonView Lane; and Tazwell Pike, 7201Tazewell Pike, Knoxville.

the recipients, working withschool counselors and social work-ers; but this year the recipients

came to the pantry, Darnell said. During their shopping, volun-

Support for the pantry comesfrom Faith Lutheran Church’sCookie Walk and Craft Fair event,

which is from 9 a.m. to noon,Saturday, Dec. 6, at the church.

The pantry is open from 3 to 5p.m., the first and third Mondaysof each month. Guests are wel-come to shop every 30 days, shesaid.

to the festival said he learned aboutthe event from his daughter.

“I think it’s nice,” Stevens, aretired firefighter, said, adding hethinks such an event is importantbecause it teaches children aboutfire safety and that children do not have to be afraid of emergencyworkers.

“[The children] are our mostprecious things,” he added.

“One thing I wish they would dohere is give away smoke detec-tors,” Stevens said. “There are toomany deaths because people don’thave smoke detectors. In LosAngeles, we used to give awaysmoke detectors once a year.”

Amy Smith of Farragut said shelearned about the event from herhusband who works at the hospitaland brought her children, Ryan, 3,Eric, 6, and Sara, 11 months.

“It’s a beautiful day so we decid-ed to come out here,” Smith said.

The girls are working on spatialawareness and defensive strate-gy, which requires talking to yourteammates.”

Kelly said Farragut held its ownin two fall scrimmages against amore experienced KnoxvilleCatholic team at KCHS. After los-ing to the Lady Irish 10-7 Nov. 20,“We actually scrimmaged Catholic

Dec. 4 and tied them, 6-6, so wethought, ‘that’s pretty good’because Catholic’s had a team forthree or four years,” she said,though adding KCHS was missingits best player in both games.

“So we have improved. … Wethought that was a good yardstickto see how far we’ve come along.”

Previously, “The only option forgirls to play lacrosse [locally] pre-vious to this year was the clubteam called the Cheetahs,” Kelly

said of the now dissolved team. “We have seven seniors and

seven freshmen and a few in-between,” Kelly said about herteam. “They all get along and havehardly any drama.”

Kelly’s experienced players areOlivia Martin, a senior attack; EmilyWeathers, a sophomore attack;Linden Perkins, a junior defender,and sisters, Christa Hill, a sopho-more goalie, and Emma Hill, a fresh-man midfielder. Perkins attends

Hardin Valley Academy. Kelly is assisted by Pam Hill,

Christa and Emma’s mother. Farragut will play in Tennessee

Girls Lacrosse Association’s East2 region with Catholic, WestKnoxville Lady Warriors (includ-ing Bearden and West high schoolplayers), Seymour, Pigeon Forge,Sevier County and Gatlinburg-Pittman, Kelly said. “We’re thelargest region now in the state ofTennessee.”

Beginning with “conditioningand stick work” during Januarypractices, Farragut’s early regu-lar season schedule includes atournament at Baylor School,Chattanooga, Feb. 20-21.

Kelly’s new team will host atournament, including “a MiddleTennessee team” and “I thinkGirls Preparatory School fromChattanooga,” on Mayor BobLeonard Park’s synthetic surfacefield Saturday, April 18, she said.

heard 50 to 65 percent, in thatrange, for [ages] 35 and under,”said Williamson, an expert ingrant writing as a senior econo-mist at The Institute for NuclearSecurity at The University ofTennessee, Knoxville. He joinedfellow Farragut RotarianJonathan Johnson, who discov-ered the need “during a missiontrip,” and Dan Hipsher of RotaryBreakfast Club for a fact-findingtrip to Nairobi Oct. 12-19.

The trio outlined their mission,and details of their Kenyan trip,to Farragut Rotarians during the

club’s Wednesday, Dec. 17, meet-ing in Fox Den Country Club.

“There’s a very rapid expansionof population in the last 30 years… eight per mother,” Williamsonsaid after his trip, adding manyparents died of AIDS “and thechildren survived as orphans.”

“The reason for going was toidentify the Rotary partners, andany governmental agencies, thatwe might need to work with,”Williamson added about RotaryClub partners to help administerthe vocational training shouldthe grant become a reality. “Sowe went and met with three dif-ferent, very good clubs in Nairobi.… One of them agreed to be the

anchor club and the other twowill be partners.” “They also seethe need for the project.”

While children “have good edu-cation in reading, writing andarithmetic through eighth-grade”in Nairobi, Williamson addedthere’s a lack of “business skills.… Only the wealthy can gobeyond eighth-grade education-wise. It’s the way the public sys-tem works.”

As a result, “You’ve got a lot ofyounger people that don’t knowhow to interview, don’t have self-esteem, don’t know how to lookan employer in the eye with con-fidence and explain what they’recapable of,” Williamson said.

“The project’s purpose is to reachthose, particularly the youngerpeople up to about 10th grade[ages 12 to 15, mostly boys] whohave either dropped out of schoolor who are considering droppingout of school, and reaching themwith training and what we’re call-ing life skills.

How to present yourself to anemployer, how to save [money],what to think about if you’rethinking about starting a family.Particularly with young girls,what to think about to be awareof the responsibilities of child-bearing,” he added.

“If everything clicks,” Willi-amson said the program in Kenya

could be implemented as early as“sometime after July 1, 2015.”

Those targeted for trainingalso would include “the govern-ment’s list of people who droppedout of secondary education, mid-dle school education and areunemployed,” Williamson said.“Rotary can provide businessmentorships for very talentedindividuals regardless of theirschooling background” and“internships for the traditionallife skills graduate” to learn, for example, how to deal withcustomers.
