The words “festinate” and“nebula” decided the winner ofFarragut Middle School’s annualspelling bee.

After 12 rounds, seventh-grad-er Caden Farley won the spellingbee, which took place Wednes-day, Jan. 21, at the school.

Brooke Creasy, an eighth-grad-er, was first runner-up in thecompetition.

“I feel great,” Caden, son ofKevin and Amy Farley, said. “Itwas fun. I like spelling bees.”The Jan. 21 competition was notCaden’s first. “I was in it threetimes before,” he said. “I prac-ticed a lot.”

“I was so excited,” Amy Farleysaid. “I teared up, and I startedshaking when it got to the end.He did study though.”

Caden and his mother saidthey were surprised he was giventhe word “nebula.”

She said when Caden was inpreschool, the children had tobring in a word with a letter ofthe alphabet, and he was giventhe letter “n.” He chose the word“nebula.”

“So, when he got that word, Istarted smiling,” she said.

Caden will go on to compete inthe News Sentinel SouthernAppalachian Regional SpellingBee March at The University ofTennessee, Knoxville.

Brooke, daughter of Scott and

Gayla Creasy, will serve as analternate at the regional spellingbee.

“I haven’t participated in thespelling bee since the fifthgrade,” she said. “I am glad thatI studied or I would not havemade first runner up.”

Caden and Brooke are two of25 students who competed in theschoolwide event, bee coordina-tor Judy Rule said.

“We modeled our bee after thenational competition,” she said.“The students take a written testand then they have the oralround of competition.

“We started with 50 students.They took a written test last

Thompson no longer ‘interim’

You can take the interim tagoff of Stephanie Thompson’s titleat Farragut High School.

“I have appointed StephanieThompson principal at FarragutHigh School,” Dr. Jim McIntyreJr., superintendent of KnoxCounty Schools, stated in a pressrelease Thursday, Jan. 29.

“I was blessed as a child togrow up in Atlanta in a brandnew school that was just begin-ning to set [its] traditions ofexcellence,” Thompson told thegathering for FHS Athletic Hallof Fame Induction Ceremony,

Class of 2015, Saturday evening,Jan. 31, in the school’sCommons.“ T h a tschool hasgone on tobe an ex-traordinaryinstitution.But at thattime wewere small.

“One ofmy men-tors al-ways said, it penetrated every-thing he told us, ‘I expect excel-lence no matter what,’” addedThompson, who began the school

year as interim principal replac-ing Michael Reynolds, whoserved as FHS principal for 10school years.

“It didn’t matter if we were onthe court, in the classroom or wewere on the stage, they expectedus to give our very best. That isvery similar to what we experi-ence every day here at FarragutHigh School.”

A KCS press released statedThompson began teaching inOcala, Fla., then joined KCS in2005 as a business teacher atFarragut and Halls high schools.

‘Dr ive-thrus’topic for BOMA■ TAMMY CHEEK

Farragut Board of Mayor andAldermen again are looking towhether or not to allow busi-nesses to have drive-thrus in itsproposed downtown district.

Although Board members attheir meeting Thursday, Jan. 22,voted unanimously to approveOrdinance 14-21, which addsspecific regulations such asrestricting drive-thrus, it direct-ed Town staff to bring back tothe Board language in the ordi-nance that could allow for somedrive-thrus.

This action came on the heelsof hearing from developers ofproperty that was previously theSilver Spoon site off SouthCampbell Station Road.

Clint Woffard with WoffardDevelopment of Chattanooga,said his firm took under contractthe lot at 103 Campbell StationRoad and presented a site plan.Woffard said his group recentlylearned about the ordinance butsaid one of the potential tenantswould require a drive-thru.

“After meeting with Mark[Shipley], Farragut CommunityDevelopment director, last week,the architects and I have doneeverything we could to try tocome up with a plan to try toaccommodate everything youasked for in the MUTC 14-21ordinance with the exception ofthis drive-thru aspect,” Woffardsaid, adding he and his archi-tects are trying to conceal the

drive-thru as much as they can. “It’s not a fast-food opera-

tion,” he said. “It’s a high-enduse that I think will very welljustify a mixed-use town devel-opment situation.”

He asked how to move forwardto request a variance.

“Without that drive-thru, thattenant will not come,” Woffardsaid. “I will not be able to moveforward without those guysthere.”

Parker Bartholomew withHatcher Hill Properties said theformer Phillips 66 property is nolonger an option for that devel-opment but the 103 CampbellStation Road property is.

“We really ask that you guystake a look at this,” Barth-olomew said. “Turkey Creek isfull, so this is the next naturalarea for growth.”

The drive-thru issue has beenvolleyed back and forth sincethe Board and Farragut Muni-cipal Planning Commissionstarted talking about aDowntown District, Shipley said.The Commission voted ultimate-ly to disallow drive-thrus, headded.

To keep momentum going fora downtown district, AldermanBob Markli voted to approveOrdinance 14-21 but he addedthe directive for drive-thrus.

“We thought if we could relax[the regulation], we would relaxit specific to a site,” AldermanRon Honken said.

Part one of a four-part series onthe retail development

of Turkey Creek


When Goody’s headquartersmoved from Athens to WestKnoxville just beyond the town ofFarragut, the former Trucker’sLane in the early 1990s — dead-ending before connecting withLovell Road — soon becameParkside Drive connectingLovell Road and Cedar BluffRoad.

This eventually lucrativeprocess, which later connectedCedar Bluff to Campbell StationRoad in Turkey Creek, started inthe late 1980s according to a pairof prominent figures. “When wesaw that happening we realizedhow good a piece of ground theTurkey Creek tract was,” JohnTurley, prominent real estatedeveloper and chief manager

with Turkey Creek Land Partners,said about the 400 acres he boughtbetween Lovell Road andCampbell Station Road.

Growing from a quiet pasture-land in 2000, this 1.8-mile almostsolid row stretch of retail stores,north and south side — 8/10thsof mile in Farragut — annuallygenerates millions of dollars insales.

“Turkey Creek has been an

economic bonanza for bothKnoxville and Farragut,” saidVictor Ashe, former Knoxvillemayor who was instrumental inbringing Goody’s to WestKnoxville — said to be the mostcritical factor leading toParkside’s growth. “I don’t thinkin our wildest dreams wethought it would reach the level

A little more than two yearsafter coming forward to proposebuilding a cellular tower atFarragut High School that wouldbe a source of revenue for theschool, U.S. Cellular has pulledout.

“We had submitted contractamendments to U.S. Cellularquite some time ago, and wewere awaiting their response.The Knox County law depart-ment received a communicationfrom U.S. Cellular in Novemberindicating that they are not cur-rently interested in the FarragutHigh School site,” Russ Oaks,chief of staff for Knox CountySchools, stated in an e-mail.

The law department “submit-ted contract revisions to U.S.Cellular as requested on May 9,”another Oaks e-mail stated.

A U.S. Cellular press releasedated Jan. 6 stated: “Followinginitial conversations withFarragut High School, we deter-mined that we could satisfy ourcustomers’ immediate needs fordata services without construct-ing an additional tower at thehigh school.”

“Last I heard everything wasgreat, and then it just like all ofsudden kind of bogged down andwe weren’t hearing anything,”Jerry Martin, FHS EducationFoundation president, said.

In reference to U.S. Cellular,Martin said that in the earlystages of considering a tower forFHS, “From their point of view itwas a necessity. That they need-ed to get more tower capacitybecause of the technology and

the boom of everybody usingdata and everything like that.There may be very legitimatetechnological changes.

“Obviously, we were excitedwhen this proposal first cameup,” Martin added about U.S.Cellular’s first contact with FHSand Knox County Schools inOctober 2012.

While the proposal includedsharing profits with KCS, Martinsaid, “We saw it as a good way forFarragut High School to getsome very necessary funds with-out much downside. Especiallywhen we got everybody togetherand thought putting a tower inthe area of the football stadiumwould not have any negativeeffect on visuals or anything.That’s because you already had abunch of light poles sticking updown there anyway.

“It seemed to be a win-win foreverybody.”

Karen Carson, District 5 repre-sentative on Knox County Boardof Education (includes Farragutpublic schools), said, “I felt likeit was an opportunity to get a lit-tle extra cash in a school thathas many needs that aren’t metright now.”

Carson pointed out “a numberof hurdles” needing to be clearedin order for the tower to beapproved by all parties involved.

“There seemed to be so manylayers of red tape. … There werea lot of questions about howmoney would be used,” Carsonsaid.

Had U.S. Cellular pursued thetower, Farragut Board of Mayorand Alderman would have been

year,” Rule said. The number ofstudents was narrowed down to25.

After several rounds the wordsbecame more difficult until awinner was determined.

“I think it shows they and theother kids did a good job,” Rulesaid.

“We had to go with the moredifficult words because they

were doing so well. The studentswere well-prepared,” Englishteacher Sarah Mayer said.“Caden is amazing. I have nodoubt he would do this well withthis.”

As in the FMS event, studentswho take part in the regional beewill take a written test beforethey move on to the oral rounds,Rule added.

Winners of the regional beewill advance to the The E.W.Scripps Company National

Spelling Bee near Washington,D.C.

According to Scripps, everyfall, tens of thousands of schoolsenroll in its program. During thefall and winter, schools will con-duct spelling bee programs atthe classroom, grade and/orschool level, and send theirspelling champions to the nextlevel of competition as designat-ed by their local spelling beesponsors.

Age-related macular degenera-tion affects over 11 millionAmericans today, and the number is

only expected to increase as the populationages. Recently, a new technology has been sci-entifically proven to dramatically increase theearly detection of a sub-type of visually threat-ening degeneration. This FDA-approved deviceis used in the home to monitor the health of theretina, the part of the eye typically affected bydegeneration. The home examination takesabout five minutes per eye and should be usedat least twice weekly. The results of the homemonitoring device are sent by cellphone to acentral database that can be monitored by thepatient's physician. Prior to this device, therate of early detection of this type of degenera-tion ranged from 15 to 25 percent. In contrast,the device has demonstrated a rate of early dis-ease detection between 87 to 94 percent.

Have there been advances in treatments for age-relatedmacular degeneration?

How Did We Get Here?Some parents choose to

remain silent and not invadetheir children’s space. Theyleave their child to learn fromother sources.

Being silent will cause parentsand their children a whole lot oftrouble in life.

It’s true they are learning, butare they learning what we, asparents, want them to learn?

Your child’s discovery could befatal. Because some children canbe so vocal and strong-willedagainst their parents’ policiesand rules, many parents refuseto get involve in their child’s life.

How did we get here?Often, we as parents, go

through life with the perceptionthat experience is the bestteacher for our children.Experience can and will teachone a whole lot, but it is not thebest teacher. Parents are thebest teachers.

Could it be that this is wherepart of our problems with rebel-lious, defiant and disrespectfulchildren originates?

How did we get here?Could it be that the parents of

these children were nevertaught lessons on obedience andrespect? Parents who find them-selves in this situation shouldseek help. No child should haveto overcome life’s obstacles byfinding out the hard way. We, asparents owe our children theopportunity to live a productivelife. When a child is not taught torespect and obey authority, itusually leads to an unproductivelifestyle.

There was a time in our socie-ty when one could see and hearrespect without even looking for

it, but times have changed. Intoday’s society, respect has to bedemanded, and even when it is,most people don’t know what itlooks or sounds like. Some peo-ple don’t know if there is suchthing as respect. This is why par-ents must start early to teachtheir children the important ofrespect toward them as parentsand for those in authority.

Many people don’t respect theConstitutional rights of others,yet they demand that their ownrights not be violated. Many peo-ple don’t respect the property ofothers. Children that challengelaw enforcement personnel andothers in authority positionswere never taught to respect andobey authority at any level. Theywere never taught to respect —and consequently, they have norespect for any authority.

How did we get here?If we, as parents, fail to teach

our children the importance ofrespect while they are young, itcould be our own children wholater commit violence against us,in our own community, on ourown streets and in our ownhomes. Many times, the childrenthat pollute our streets withdrugs and gangs were born andraised in the very houses theyare menacing.

How did we get here?If someone wants what you

have badly enough, they will stopat nothing to get it. Where is therespect for mankind? How didwe get here? I guess the moreimportant question would be,how do we get back?

either side of what is nowParkside Drive between LovellRoad and Campbell StationRoad, “I wrote a contract for it inDecember 1994,” Turley, whoadded the other 40 acres a bitlater, said.

“When you think aboutParkside, you have to go back tothe history of Trucker’s Lane.The real groundwork is [from]Victor Ashe and Tommy Schum-pert,” Turley added about thework of Ashe and then KnoxCounty Executive Schumpertstarting in the late 1980s.

In addition to Kingston Pike,“There was obviously a need tohave a second artery throughthere” that connected Cedar Bluffto Lovell Road,” Turley said. “…What happened was, RobertBedwell was hired by BobbyGoodfriend to find him a tract ofground.

“And then Victor stepped up

Turkey CreekFrom page 1A

and said, ‘Well, if you’ll come andmove from Athens and bring allthese jobs here and build this bigfacility, we will extend Trucker’sLane over to Lovell Road,’”Turley added.

Bedwell said he was “in chargeof finding the sites” for Goody’s,which also included a site inLenoir City. “With the City andCounty’s cooperation, we had topunch [Trucker’s Lane] through,that was the key thing, we had toget it from Mabry Hood to LovellRoad. … That’s what thenallowed the next phase to go fromLovell Road to Campbell Station.”

Ashe said the deal “involvedGoody’s coming up and the vol-untary annexation of the TurkeyCreek area. … They wenttogether.”

Having ended City ofKnoxville’s lawsuit fightingFarragut’s incorporation as aTown soon after taking officeJan. 1, 1988, Ashe and the City

“reached an agreement withFarragut where a portion of[Turkey Creek] would be in thetown of Farragut and a portion of itwould be in Knoxville,” Ashe said.

Turley said one of Schumpert’sfirst actions upon first beingelected, “He immediately boughtthe right-of-way” along Trucker’sLane leading to “three hotelsthat came out of the ground. AndTrucker’s Lane became Park-side. It went all the way to LovellRoad. … Tommy stepped up andgot the county to participate inthe road.”

According to the latest statis-tics, Turley said Lovell Road “hasa higher traffic count than CedarBluff [Road].”

Prior to the connection, “Oneof the real visionaries out therewas the family that opened the[Beaty] Chevrolet dealership,”Turley said. “They opened thatwhen Trucker’s Lane was notconnected to Cedar Bluff.”

In similar action, the Boardvoted unanimously to approvefour other ordinances related tothe downtown district. Theyincluded:

• Ordinance 14-22 to adoptthe area and text identified asthe mixed use town centershown on the future land use

map.• Ordinance 14-23 to remove a

15-acre minimum lot size in thatdistrict.

• Ordinance 14-24 to restrictcell towers from the downtowndistrict.

• Ordinance 14-25 to take thesection established in the C-1,commercial, district and apply itto the planned commercialdevelopment.

On another matter, the Boardvoted unanimously to agree topay Fulghum MacInddoe &Associates $18,500 for additionalengineering services the Townrequested regarding the McFee-Wentworth Greenway connector,which was completed last year.

Tammy Cheek

Gail Edwards, owner of Veronica G Boutique, 11655 Parkside Drive, displays one of the styles inthe boutique. Edwards moved the shop from Loudon to Farragut Feb. 5, 2014.

“And, when we look for acces-sories, we are looking for a lot ofdesigners that do handmade jew-elry, so that brings us many piecesthat look like they are coming out

of an art gallery,” she said. Edwards added she concen-

trates on acquiring pieces that areaffordable as well as unique.

The store is open 10 a.m. to 5

p.m., Monday through Saturday. For more about Veronica G

When Gail Edwards moved herboutique business from Loudonto Farragut and changed its nameto Veronica G Boutique Feb. 5,2014, she brought trendy fashionsfor an age group that was notbeing addressed, Edwards said.

Veronica G Boutique, 11655Parkside Drive, was named afterthe owner, Veronica GailEdwards, who said business hasbeen good for the past year.

“We’ve been very delighted bythe response we’ve gotten,” shesaid. “It has been rewarding.”

This spring, she said the bou-tique is adding six new lines.Another new addition this year issales associate, Debbie Stauffen-berg, who brings with her 15-plusyears experience in fashion sales.

Edwards attributed the bou-tique’s success to its selection ofunique apparel for women in the40-to-80 age group.

“We are filling a niche in thearea that’s not been filled withthe age group we are reachinghere,” she said. “We have so manyladies that come in, and whenthey see what we have to offer inthe store, our response we getover and over is, ‘Finally, someoneis addressing ladies in our agegroup and bringing us fun, com-fortable, fashionable, on-trendclothes.’

“What we hear from ladies somuch in that age group is theteens and 20-year-olds are beingaddressed in the market but theythink that after 40, we don’t wantto be fashionable anymore, so wemeet that need,” she said.

Edwards said when she goes tomarket to choose clothing andaccessories, she tries to find asmany USA-made products as shecan, as well products fromwomen-owned businesses as shecan, as well as small design hous-es with styles one does see every-where else.

think we can beat anyone in the league.” Joel Graham and Hunter Pesterfield led

William Blount with eight points each. Jai Atkins, Govs’ 6-foot-7, 260-pound jun-

ior post, was held to four points. “When we feed it in [opponents] col-

lapse and either he knocks down a lay-upor he passes out and we get good outsideshots. That’s when we shoot the best,”Pesterfield, WBHS junior guard, said.

Cool was pleased about his team’s playdespite a 58-53 loss at home Monday, Feb.2, to a Bradley Central team Farragutdefeated at BCHS Nov. 21.

“The first time we played them theywere missing two of their better players,”Cool said. “They’ve locked up the No. 1seed in their district [5-AAA]. … Ithought our kids played with a lot of heart


MARYVILLE — Farragut’s LadyAdmirals were riding a big wave ofmomentum after avenging an early seasonblowout loss to Bradley Central, beating

the Bearettes 36-32Monday night, Feb.2, at FHS.

But missing jun-ior star post Jaiden McCoy Tuesday night,Feb. 3, at William Blount — out with theflu — the Lady Govs dealt with much lessresistance than Bradley Central whenattempting to score in the paint.

Missing a chance to finish No. 2 inDistrict 4-AAA and earn an automaticRegion 2-AAA Tournament berth after a

64-56 loss, Farragut fell behind 26-12thanks in large part to five WBHS three-point field goals.

“I was proud of them coming out andmaking some shots, it got our intensity up,”WBHS head coach Todd Wright said abouthis team’s first quarter.

“We had some defensive lapses we needto take care of,” FHS head coach JasonMayfield said.

Saying his FHS girls “didn’t get thingsdone defensively,” Mayfield added theresulting early deficit meant “using all yourenergy in the second quarter coming back.”

“Communication problems, that’s whathit us the first quarter,” said FHS seniorpost Kristen Freeman, who helped take up

MARYVILLE — A freshman-senior combination got HardinValley Academy's girls off to awinning start during the District4-AAA Basketball tournament.

Twelve first-quarter pointsfrom Abbey Cornelius, 6-foot-2freshman post, and nine morefrom Mandi Hylton, senior wing,accounted for all HVA points in a21-10 first quarter lead againstNo. 7 seed Lenoir City.

The Lady Panthers (10-20) gotno closer against No. 6 seedHardin Valley (17-12), losing 65-41 Monday night, Feb. 9, duringopening round tourney action atMaryville High School.

“We knew that if we pounded itinside and were strong we couldscore,” Cornelius, who tallied agame-high 26 points, said.

Hylton, who ended with 12points, said about her team's faststart, “One of the goals we talkedabout in the locker room wasdelivering the first blow, and I

think our quick start reallyhelped us gain momentum intothe rest of the game.”

“I felt like that we came outand we were the aggressor fromthe beginning,” HVA head coachJennifer Galloway said. “That'swhat we emphasized in the lock-er room. Some of the smalleradjustments that we tried toemphasize in practice yesterday,we were able to carry over to thegame. I was pleased with that.

“All thegirls, wewere ableto work

the ball around and get the ballinside,” Galloway added.“Everybody was focused on get-ting to the rim, whether it waswith the pass or with the dribble.Abbey was able to finish inside,and that opened up things forMandi as well.”

Defensively, “I thought wewere able to get out on shootersearly,” Galloway said. “And wewere able to get back quicker intransition, which enabled us to

match up quicker.” LCHS head coach Rebecca

Muncy said her team “just gotoutrebounded major in the firsthalf, so that really put us in ahole early.”

Muncy said Cornelius “is agood player,” but added, “Shehadn't been the one to hurt us inthe first two [regular season]games. “In this game she steppedup a little bit. … [No.] 44,Symphony [Buxton] is who hurtus in the regular season [twoHVA wins], and so we were veryconcerned with her coming in.”

Other Hardin Valley scorerswere Maddie Massey with six,Lizzie Davis with five points, foureach for Brooklyn Battle,Hampton and Buxton, and twopoints for Taylor Bishop.

The Zeller duo of Amberlee, 13points, and Ashlyn, 10, led theLady Panthers offensively.

A tourney quarterfinal battlebetween HVA and No. 3 seedFarragut, the loser having its sea-son ended, was Wednesday night,Feb. 11 (after deadline).

MARYVILLE — Though Farragutended its regular season beating a winlessteam in District 4-AAA, Chris Cool leftWilliam Blount’s Marvin L. BoringMemorial Gym quite happy.

“I told our kids, ‘Anybody that can comeinto William Blount and beat them onSenior Night, on their floor, by 22 points,means we played a good ballgame,’” Cool,FHS skipper, said about a 66-44 victoryTuesday night, Feb. 3. “I think our kidshave regained a little bit of our focus wehad at the beginning of the year” duringan 8-1 start.

Senior point guard Keegan McGuire andsenior wing Ty Allen led Farragut in scor-ing with 12 points each. Guard Nick

Rogers came offthe bench to score11. Guard LukeJanney added 10.

Will Doerger and Matt Eggert each scoredsix.

“If everybody’s working their tail offwe’re a pretty special team. … As long aswe play with heart and energy we canbeat anybody,” Cool said about hisAdmirals, which finished 7-7 in district(No. 4 tourney seed), 14-13 overall in theregular season. Although saying “basket-ball’s a grind,” Cool added about his team,“I think they’re starting to get re-ener-gized again because we’ve played with alot of energy the last two or three games.”

Individually, “I liked the way KeeganMcGuire played tonight,” Cool said.“That’s kind of the way he played at thebeginning of the season. He’s attackingthe basket and hitting shots, going to thefree throw line.

“I like the way Will Doerger’s coming inand driving the ball to the basket,” Cooladded about his senior reserve post. “Heand Matt Eggert are both doing a greatjob in the post.”

McGuire said about the regular season,“I think we had to battle through someadversity during the year. I think we wentthrough some slumps. … I think that was

Despite coming in with a 9-11record, most games against pro-grams of similar size and fewTSSAA opponents, the Eaglesrallied from a 39-25 halftimedeficit. Maryville Christian actu-ally took a 45-44 lead against theHawks with less than two min-utes left in the third quarter.

However, Tristan Neilson, a 6-foot-6 junior reserve post, gaveHardin Valley a spark in thegame's final eight minutes.Neilson scored all 15 of hispoints in the fourth quarter tolead his Hawks to a 79-59 victory.

“We weren't, like, playing howwe should, so I just wanted tocome in and help my team anyway I could,” said Neilson, whoseHawks end the regular season 9-18, 3-11 in District 4-AAA (No. 7seed in this week's district tour-ney at Maryville High School).

Hardin Valley played No. 6seed Lenoir City Tuesdayevening, Feb. 10, in first roundtourney action (after deadline).

Senior wing Blaine Shockleyscored 14 for HVA followed byjunior post Tyler Thompson with10. Senior wing Jacob Schop-mann added nine.

Senior point Caleb Clevengerscored eight for the Hawks, asdid junior post Tyler Durden.Senior wing/post Jordan McCros-key added seven and seniorCaleb Davis four. Senior Hunter

“ W ecould have played harder,”Schopmann said. “… The fourthquarter we played better,showed something. Tristanplayed really good tonight.”

Peyton O'Briant, Eagles seniorpost and the team's leading scor-er this season, led all scorerswith 22. Ben Cardwell, sopho-more post, added 18 for MCS.

Playing a much bigger schoolso close for three quarter, Kiddsaid, “I don't know if you call it amoral victory. We've got a talent-ed team and they really playedhard. They didn't give up. Theygot a lot of confidence when theyhit a few of those baskets” in thethird quarter “and things startedgoing our way and they playedreally well.”

Floyd said that his squadrebounded nicely from a dismalshowing in the semifinals atHalls.

“We had a terrible semifinal

round and that was prettyrough,” Floyd said. “But wepicked it up and finished strongon the back end.”

Bearden’s other wrestlersheaded to Franklin are: TeoLopez (a 106-pounder who fin-ished third); David Garabrandt(a 132-pounder, to took third bydefeating Hardin Valley Academyjunior Ian McNitt 1-0 in the con-solation championship); ShaunGambino (who finished fourth inthe 145-pound division); IsaacCourett (138 pounds) reachedthe state tournament with afourth-place finish. He dropped a6-0 decision to the Hawks’ NickMoore in the consolation final.At 170, Bearden’s Jacob Gerkenpinned Farragut’s Ryan Coke in 2

minutes, 13 seconds. BHS’sWesley Goultry (195 pounds) fin-ished fourth in the 195-pounddivision.

The top four finishers in eachweight class advanced to themidstate. Meanwhile, HVA willsend seven wrestlers to state:freshman Tyler Henry (who fin-ished third in the 113-pound divi-sion); Kameron Isbell, (fourth inthe 120 class); Chase Matlack(who came in fourth at 126);McNitt (fourth in the 132-poundweight class); Moore; JacobJackson (who took fourth in the182-pound division) and CharlesChappell (who finished third inthe 220-pound class).

Hawks’ head coach DiegoContreras said he was pleased

“We’re going to approach thislike any other tournament. We’regoing to do the best we can andhopefully, our guys will give 100percent.”

The Bearden High School bas-ketball teams ended the regularseason with a sweep of Powell athome Thursday, Feb. 5. Both theBulldogs and Lady Bulldogs hadto notch comeback victories.Bearden’s boys defeated thePanthers 70-58 while the LadyBulldogs prevailed 48-34.

The Bearden boys, who werecoming off a heartbreaking homeloss to Maryville 48 hours earlier,opened aslim leada g a i n s tthe Pan-thers before Powell stormed backto take a 37-30 halftime lead.

“The seniors let the team downin the first half,” said Beardensenior center Sam Phillips, whoscored nine of his 11 points afterhalftime. “We were still prettydown after losing to Maryvilleand we knew that this might beour last shot to play at home.”

Phillips did his part to sparkthe Bulldogs’ comeback early inthe third quarter as he scoredBearden’s first five points of theframe. Healso grab-bed somec r u c i a lrebounds and forced thePanthers (10-13) into a pair ofkey turnovers.

For his part, BHS head coachMark Blevins said he didn’t thinkhis squad, which improved to 26-2, was suffering from a hangoverfrom its loss to the Red Rebels,who claimed the District 4-AAAchampionship with the winTuesday, Feb. 3, at BHS.

“Powell just outplayed us [inthe second quarter],” Blevinssaid. “They did everything rightand they hit shots.”

“Sam’s play really helped,”Blevins said.

Junior point guard Quez Fairalso came up big in the thirdquarter, scoring six of his 11points in the frame, adding to the52-48 advantage heading to thefinal stanza.

guard Dakota McGowan added 14.Jason Smith had 12. Fair andPhillips scored 11 points each.

McGowan said he hopes thewin will be just what Beardenneeds to make a postseason run.

“It feels good to come back andwin,” he said. “Hopefully, this winwill build our confidence.”

The Lady Bulldogs also hadtrouble with Powell. Bearden (26-3) started slow and seemed to befighting an uphill battle all night.

The Lady Panthers (15-8)opened a 3-0 lead before HollyHagood finally got Bearden on theboard after nearly two minutes.

Hagood’s bucket ignited theLady Bulldogs. Jalia Arnwine fol-lowed that basket with a pair of 3-pointers to help Bearden open an8-3 lead with 3 minutes, 19 sec-

onds left in the first quarter.Despite that early lead,

Bearden had to rally to take a 26-21 halftime advantage.

It was the Lady Bulldogs’ back-court that enabled the home teamto hold the upper hand early.Freshman Trinity Lee scored agame-high 15 points and Arnwinehit three long-range jumpers overthe first 16 minutes.

“We didn’t start well,” Lee said.“But in the second half, we cameout and rebounded better. Weplayed better defense and weturned that defense into offense.”

Powell, however, didn’t go away.The Lady Panthers actually took a34-33 lead on free throws by ToriLentz with 5:30 left in the game.

But the Lady Bulldogs closedthe game with a 14-0 run.

Madison Rice scored 11 pointsfor Bearden. Lentz led Powellwith 14.

sented by Coke and 160-pounderGarret Broda. Both finishedfourth in their respective weightclasses.

Farragut’s first-year headcoach Jonathan Durham saidhis duo was rewarded for itshard work.

“It’s a small team but theseguys have worked extremelyhard,” Durham said. “Coke hadbeen wrestling at 182 and I knewthat for him to be successful,that he’d have to cut weight andgo down to 170. But he neveronce complained.

“Garret kind of surprised me.He’s a light 160 but he’s a lot likeRyan and he’s worked hard.These guys deserve to be goingwhere they’re going.”

Broda was ecstatic after hereached the state tournament.

“This feels great,” he said.“I’m excited.”

Coke experienced the sameemotions.

“I’m really proud of us both,”he said. “This is my first timegoing to state and its going to befun.

“I’m happy to be going and I’mglad Garret is coming too.”

Halls won the tournamentwith 242.5 points. Gibbs was sec-ond (173). Bearden was third(139.5) followed by AndersonCounty (122) and Hardin Valley(99). Farragut finished ninthwith 30 points.

Farragut High School socialstudies department finishedamong the state’s top three publichigh schools, as measured fromthe Class of 2015, after a stateexam revealed excellence in twoareas last school year.

Evaluated by Tennessee Boardof Education and recently recog-nized, FHS Class of 2015 studentsachieved in the top threestatewide based on high scoresand level of improvement in socialstudies courses: government, eco-nomics, world history, geography,European history, U.S. history,psychology, sociology and worldreligious studies.

“We have advanced placement[social studies] classes, this does-n’t even include those kids,”Angela Breeding, departmentchair, said. “These are your good,college-prep solid, regular U.S.history kids that are blowing it outof the water.

“Now, to be recognized on thestate level, is kind of a neat deal,”she added. “I attribute it to havinga really strong department, andwe work well together. … I thinkthat the kids know the teacherson this wing are the kind of teach-ers who are approachable, thatare willing to help them whenthey need it. I think we have agood rapport with our kids.”

Alivia LaPlaunt, one of theClass of 2015 students tested, saidFHS social studies “is a veryinvolved department, where it’slike you can speak out and they’lldebate with you. If you can argueyour opinion, they’ll listen to you.”

LaPlaunt, who is taking an APEuropean history class as a seniordespite already meeting hersocial studies graduation require-ments, said “it is probably myfavorite class. … It’s so much fun.All the history teachers here aregreat. It’s very interactive.”


Two Farragut High Schoolathletes will continue their ath-letic endeavors in college.Soccer player Ethan Snow andfootball player Nathan Gilliammade that official when theyeach signed National Letters ofIntent at a ceremony Wedn-esday, Feb. 4, in FHS’s Vickie B.Wells Auditorium.

Snow will play soccer at EastTennessee State Universitywhile Gilliam will play footballat Wake Forest and become thethird Farragut player to play forthe Demon Deacons.

Gilliam, whose brother Jacobrecently finished his collegefootball career at The Univer-sity of Tennessee, will follow Ty-son Clabo and Michael Hoag toWinston-Salem, N.C. Like Hoagand Clabo, Gilliam is an offen-sive lineman.

“Wake Forest likes our foot-ball program,” Admirals’ foot-ball head coach EddieCourtney said. “We’ve had twoother players go there andexcel. They like our school.

Christina Craig also is takingAP U.S. History as a senior. “I didhave a little trouble in U.S. histo-ry last year and Mrs. Breedingoffered to help me,” she said.“That really made me feel com-fortable in the class so I could getbetter.”

Chelsea Osborne, social stud-ies teacher, said she and Breeden“take kids to [Washington] D.C.”every other year in the spring.“Having those personal experi-ences with U.S. history and beingable to show them those gets thekids more excited and gives thema little bit of a different viewpointand aspect on a lot of different

ally since 2006, Breeding andOsborne “take kids to Europeevery summer,” Breeding said,emphasizing these are not fieldtrips for grades. “… It’s so

rewarding.” This summer Osborne is plan-

ning to take students “to France,Austria, Switzerland and Germany.One of the world language teachersis also traveling with kids, they’redoing Spain and Italy.

“Between two and four teach-ers” and “an average of 20 to 25students” go on such trips everyyear, Osborne added.

Sydney Trezise said Breeding

“Nate is really excited and Ithink he made a good decision.”

Gilliam said he plans on majoringin business and pursue a career inmarketing. He had opportunities toplay elsewhere but chose WakeForest because he looks to get someearly playing time.

“I chose Wake Forest because I

would get playing time,” he said.“I didn’t want to sit and waitbehind a three-year starter.

“I also liked the academics andcoach [Dave] Clawson {a formerTennessee offensive coordinator]is going to turn things around.”

Six romantic ways to spark up your marriage (part I)Romance is not just about sex.

My mom cracked me up, after read-ing some article in a woman’s mag-azine about sex being the main rea-son for a happy marriage, when shesaid, “If sex was the cause of happi-ness, then hookers would be thehappiest people in the world.”

To me romance is not just aboutsex. It’s all about creating magicalmoments in your relationshipthat’ll take little time out of yourbusy schedule. Stop thinking you’retoo busy for romance.

Here are6 ideas I’vecol lectedfrom somevery happycouples aswell assome triedand trueideas fromyours truly.( P l e a s enote: I’m onmy secondmarriage.)

1. Useyour calen-dar: Most of us SHEs (SidetrackedHome Exec-utives) are romanticsat least in the literary sense of theword. I advise having a date nightonce a week. I love books andmovies about romance and I knowthat being organized helps in theromance department. (If you don’tshave your legs regularly, you’re notgoing to want to be romantic andyour mate probably won’t beeither.)

Just a little bit of planning willpay off. Plan a romantic ren-dezvous during the month. You canget a room at a local hotel or planto have the house all to yourselves.Just the anticipation of being

together in this way will add sparkto your romantic life.

As you read the ideas, write theones you like on your calendar anddon’t plan on doing all of these inone month. Spread out the ideasthroughout the year.

Maybe you’ve thought, ‘how canromance be put on a calendar?’Well, you’ve got four Saturdays thisFebruary and one of them isValentine’s Day, so go get your cal-endar and put a heart on everySaturday this month and let yourcreative mind come up with somegreat ideas for each one of them. Ifdate night has sort of fallen off yourradar, now’s a good time to startover and reinstate it.

2. Let the pros help: I’m not talk-ing about getting a call girl for yourhusband or partner, but you can letthe professional writers help youexpress your deepest sentiments inwords. Now is the time to buyValentine cards, so don’t just getone, get 12 and send him one everymonth on the fourteenth.

3. Pay attention: Whenever youcan, take the time to give your part-ner 100% of your attention when hewants to talk to you. Put down thecell phone, dog, book, shovel, orwhatever you've got in your hands(unless it’s the baby and it needsyou) and face your partner, so youcan really hear what he’s saying.It’ll make him feel loved andimportant to you and that’s roman-tic.

4.Keep him guessing: If you tookPsych 101, you probably learnedabout random reinforcement. Res-earchers put three groups of rats inthree separate cages, each equ-ipped with a button to push. The Agroup of rats got a treat every timethey pushed the button. The B groupnever got a treat, no matter how

often they pushed the button. Andthe C group got treats just once in awhile.

The A group eventually got boredwith the guaranteed reward, andthe B rats who never got treatsgave up, too. But the C rats thatreceived random treats would bepushing that button if they werestill alive today, hoping each timethey pushed it they just might getlucky. (Sounds like me in Vegas.)

Romance is a treat, a magicalmoment in your relationship, andwhether you’ve been with yourmate for six months or sixty yearsyou’ll always love little surprisesand he will too.

5. Be prepared: When you’re outand about (even at the grocerystore) shopping, keep your eyesopen for little "surprise gifts" youknow he’d like. The next time he orshe is feeling down, give him one ofthe gifts. (Remember the C rats.)This is a wonderful and upliftingact of love and it will be remem-bered for a very long time.

6. 20 second hug and kiss: Yearsago, I saw a marriage counselor ona television talk show talk aboutthe best tip she had to spark up amarriage. She said this one tip hadhelped failing marriages and enh-anced good marriages. She called itthe 20 second kiss. She suggestedkissing for the full 20 seconds, notcoming apart. (Sort of like you didwhen you were dating.) I was sin-gle at the time, but I told my sisterwho was married about it and shetried it on her policeman husbandas he went out the door for work.(He was 45 minutes late for duty.)

To eliminate tardiness at work,use the 20 second kiss and hugwhen you’ve been apart for the dayor any time more than five hours.By giving him a 20 second hug and

Q: I saw your article in lastm o n t h ’ sF a r r a g u tPress refer-encing thetoxicity ofchocolate indogs. Yourarticle gotme thinkingabout poin-settias. Ihave beentold thatpoinsettiasare poison-ous to pets. Ialso believethat my cat, Ashley, has eatenpoinsettia leaves in years past andhas not appeared sick. Should I beconcerned? E.B., Farragut

A: Poinsettias are really not thattoxic. They have a chemical intheir leaves that can be irritatingto the mouth and gastrointestinalsystem. Due to this irritation,many pets will not eat too much ofit. If dogs or cats do eat enough ofit, mild nausea or vomiting may beseen. So, yes, it is safe for you tohave poinsettias around the house,as they pose minimal threats toAshley or other pets in the home.

While we are on the subject,there are other potential winterhazards to be aware of. Commonitems that should be kept awayfrom pets include:

- Ice melt products - Antifreeze- Rat and mouse bait - Holly,

mistletoe, lilies - Liquid potpourri(potential for burns)

If your pet has ingested some-

Are poinsettias poisonous to pets?

Gilliam knows all too wellabout waiting. He watched hisbrother enroll at Tennessee as awalk-on and toil tirelessly untilhe was granted a scholarship as asenior in 2014.

“Jacob was a big help to himwhen it came to making his deci-sion,” Courtney said.

Early in the recruiting process,Nathan wanted to stay close tohome but that changed whenWake Forest came calling.

“At first, I wanted to stay closeto home but as time went on,that didn’t really matter,” Gilliamsaid. “I didn’t get to talk to TysonClabo [now with the HoustonTexans] but I reached out andleaned on Michael Hoag and hegave me some great advice.

“When I made my official visit,I really liked it and now I’ll havethe chance to play in the ACCand that’s a Power 5 conference.”

He also considered Kentuckyand Mississippi State.

While it wasn’t important forGilliam to stay close to home, itwas a big factor in Snow’s deci-sion.

“I wanted to stay close to homeso my family could see me play,”said Snow, who also had offers

from Appalachian State, Collegeof Charleston, Cincinnati andLoyola-Chicago.

His decision to play for theBuccaneers ended a long recruit-ing process.

“It was nerve-racking becauseyou have to sell yourself to coach-es,” Snow said.

Farragut soccer head coachWallie Culbreth said Snow does-n’t have to sell himself or hisskills.

“I’ve played Ethan every-where,” Culbreth said. “He’s atextbook player and a textbookleader.

“As a soccer coach, I can’t calltimeouts and Ethan is a coach onthe field. ETSU doesn’t knowwhat kind of player they’re get-ting and the schools that missedhim don’t know what they’remissing. He will be the best soc-cer player ever at Farragut HighSchool and I’ve had some greatones.”

Snow also spoke highly of hishigh school coach.
