because you never know,you may just reach yourstar. Your dream may cometrue.’”
“My dream was to playfor the Dallas Cowboys,”well known for its helmetstar similar to Farragut’s,added Bates, Class of1979.

Town to host Dogwood Arts kickoff luncheon■ HEATHER BECK
Farragut is makingpreparations for DogwoodArts Festival’s featuredtrail opening and invita-tion-only Dogwood Lunch-eon April 10 by replacingmuch of the bedded land-scaping in Campbell Stat-ion Park.
“What you’re going to
notice is a lot more color,”Town administrator DavidSmoak said of the land-scaping changes.
The main entryway intoCampbell Station Park hasbeen redone, as have theplantings around the signs,gazebo and many of thebeds lining the parking lot.
“There’s a ton of bulbs— tulips and others.They’ve put in a lot of dog-
wood trees and a lot of red-buds. I’m hoping that, overthe next 10 years as itgrows up, it’ll just be anoutstanding park,” Smoaksaid.
“We’re actually alreadyseeing some of the bulbspop up because it’s been sowarm,” he added.
Public Works directorBud McKelvey, who’s beenhandling installation of
the new landscaping atCampbell Station, saidazaleas would completethe new look at the park.
According to McKelvey,Public Works crews haveplanted 2,550 tulips, 70crocuses, 180 hyacinths,270 azaleas, 11 redbudtrees and 20 dogwoods.
“We looked at severalsites around Farragut andWest Knoxville, because
when there’s a featuredtrail, we try to put theLuncheon site in thatneighborhood to just high-light it even more,” Dog-wood Arts project managerJennifer Baxter said.
“We chose CampbellStation Park as our fea-tured garden this year, too.It’s just beautiful. ... It’skind of a no-brainer; it’s sobeautiful,” she added.
Smoak estimated therevamp at Campbell Stat-ion Park was going to costless than $10,000, out of a$50,000 budget line itemthat traditionally is splitbetween Farragut’s parkseach year for general land-scape maintenance.
“This year, we took allthe money we typically put
Home remodelingseminar held
■ HEATHER [email protected]
About 20 Farragut residents came to Town Hall Mondaynight, March 4, for a citizen seminar on home remodelingand permitting.
“We require permits for nearly everything,” SteveCoker, a Farragut codes officer, said.
Residents in Farragut should be aware that many homeremodeling projects require permits, whether those proj-ects are DIY or being handled by a contractor.
“We work for you, the resident of Farragut. We’re hereto ensure you get what you are paying for and that thework meets standards,” Coker said.
Projects that need a permit from Farragut:• New buildings, additions, and structural additions
such as gazebos, patios and pools• Plumbing, gas and mechanical connections, addi-
tions and replacement units• New roofing, guttering, flooring and sidingSimply replacing existing shingles or roofing, as was
done following recent hail storms, does not require a per-mit, but any structural changes to the roof do.
“When in doubt, check,” Coker said.“It may seem frivolous, but we want to document
things. If you don’t get a permit, we don’t know what’sgoing on,” he added.
Permit prices are determined by the estimated cost of

• Thank you, town ofFarragut, for the beautiful land-scaping on our calming islandson Grigsby Chapel. As I drivedown every day, I’m just sograteful for the town ofFarragut for repairing theislands and making them beau-tiful for everyone to enjoy.Sometimes we all misjudgethings and need to go back andmake repairs, and you’ve done abeautiful job with that. I’mamazed that you were able todo this much landscaping forthe amount of money you had todo it with. Thank you so verymuch. The whole town ofFarragut should be grateful toyou for the beautiful work youhave done.
• Hi. I just wanted to say howgreat the new calming islandslook. It’s such an improvementover what there was there andno matter what it costs, I thinkit really shows how classyFarragut is. Thank you.
• The shoe repairman thatwas at Century Plaza is nowworking for Prestige Cleanersand I think he’s working in theHalls location, and I agree: hewas an excellent shoe repair-man. As far as Helen, I don’tknow where she’s at.
• This is in response to theshoe repairman: he is nowworking for Prestige Cleaners,and if you bring your shoes toany Prestige, he will get them.And Helen is now next to theRush [Fitness Center]; she’s onthe corner just to the right ofthe Rush on Lovell Road. Hopethey have good business.
• Just got last week’s
presstalk and I was wonderingwhy all the high school baseballpictures was [sic] of FarragutHigh School boys and notHardin Valley [Academy] orBearden [High School]. Thatdoesn’t seem fair. Thank you.
• Yes, I think the new land-scaping on Grigsby Chapel[Road] will be a great additioncompared to what had beenthere. Unfortunately, the tax-payers are going to have to paytwice to have this done theright way. I’d also like to com-pliment both Ingles and Krogerfor keeping their gas pricesdown so much lower than allthe other companies around. Asa consumer, we sure appreciatethat. Thank you.
• This is a comment aboutthe guy in March 7 paper, whocomplained that you guys werenot reporting right on thesports page. To the sports guys,I live in Knox County. My chil-dren go to the Farragut Schools.The ’Press is a FARRAGUTpaper. You wonder why theyreport about a FARRAGUTteam???!!! Really. I supportFarragut. I am not a sportscrazy person. But guess what,surprise, Knoxville NewsSentinel will gladly take yourmoney, and they report all thesports. The ’Press does report,as they said, equally, but I wantto know about FARRAGUT. Let[Hardin Valley Academy] gettheir own paper, or Bearden.For me I am glad the [farragut-press] reports the goings on inFARRAGUT. Hello ... . Thank youfor your time.
• In response to the flood of
complaints about time/moneyspent on new landscaping in thecalming islands along GrigsbyChapel [Road], I’d like to givemy heartfelt thanks to all of thehardworking, talented folks whodesigned and installed thebeautiful greenery in theseislands. I drive up and downGrigsby Chapel at least 15 timesa week, and it brightens my dayto see an oasis of healthy, lushplants break up the monotony ofconcrete and asphalt. I under-stand that drivers (still) areirked by the existence of thesecalming islands; however, sincethey are clearly here to stay,why not make them pleasant tolook at? I also am glad thatsomeone was clever enough toplace rocks at the ends of eachisland — it seems like saplingsplaced at the ends of islands arethe inevitable casualties ofsharp turns and other drivingmishaps. FYI, I am not affiliatedwith the town government nor
parties contracted todesign/install the island land-scaping. I am a housewife andmother who believes that atten-tion to aesthetics is one of manythings that makes Farragut agreat place to live!

Knox County holds summit to look at school security■ ALAN SLOAN
Ripple affects from alleged inadequateinstallation of electronic security equip-ment at Hardin Valley Academy in 2008,and at Powell Middle School, led to a“security summit” of Knox County leaderswith ties to county schools Friday, March1.
The December 2012 kindergartentragedy in Newtown, Conn., has fueled amassive review of Knox County Schoolssecurity — most notably electronic secu-rity, including alleged problems reportedanonymously with Farragut Middle School
video security. Three major initiatives were recom-
mended or reaffirmed in a meeting on thefirst floor of Andrew Johnson Building,downtown Knoxville.
The newest of those came from DaleSmith, CEO of Public Building Authorityof Knoxville and Knox County, suggestinga “contract audit” and hiring an inde-pendent auditor.
“A contract audit of a few schools tolook at what equipment is in place andwhat was specified in the contract, and ifthose two things match each other,” saidDr. Jim McIntyre Jr., Knox County Schoolssuperintendent.
About the alleged inadequate installa-tion and supervision of electronic securityby former KCS contractor, ProfessionalSecurity Consultants and Design, Inc., “Ididn’t actually know how long PSCD hadbeen working in other [KCS] schools,some of it was, I guess, in ’03,” Smith said.“By ’06 they were working in every school.It seemed implausible that they only did areally poor job in two-out-of-two schoolsfor us [HVA and Powell Middle].”
This contract audit would grade schoolelectronic security systems only to thelevel of technology that system wasintended to produce when it was original-ly installed.
As for time frame, “It should be able tobe done over two weekends,” Smith said,adding that results would be “in our handsin six to eight weeks, at most.”
There was general agreement that theaudit would cost an estimated $12,000 to$15,000.
McIntyre recommended a “randomdraw” to choose a handful of schools forthe contract audit.
About Smith’s plan, Karen Carson, KnoxCounty Board of Education chair andDistrict 5 (Farragut schools) representa-tive, said she would “bring it to” to theentire school board (meeting after dead-line).
Farragut’s Board of Mayorand Aldermen has dis-cussed adopting develop-ment standards for com-mercial buildings in Town.Do you think commercialbuildings in Farragut shouldhave a certain “look”?What types of design stan-dards would be appropri-ate? Do you favor buildingsconstructed of a certaintype of material? Shouldthe Board dictate howdevelopers construct com-mercial buildings? Let usknow!

the project. To get a permit,submit two detail constructionplans and two copies of a siteplan at engineer’s scale to showsetbacks and other details.
In addition, licenses areneeded for some work inFarragut and Knox County,meaning DIYers might not beable to legally do some workthemselves without a license.
For example, in Knox County,any home project costing morethan $3,000 requires a “homeimprovement” license. If a home-owner hires a contractor for aproject, Farragut’s CommunityDevelopment department urgeshomeowners to ask for proof ofinsurance and to use licensedand bonded contractors. Be surea contractor working in the homegets the required permits andinspections.
Farragut does inspections forfooters; underground plumbing;roughed-in framing; plumbing,gas and mechanical work, and afinal look-over of the project.Electrical inspections are doneby LCUB.
“Whatever you want to do onyour own home, you can do, aslong as it’s to code,” Coker said.
During a question-and-ans-wer session, a homeownerasked if a previous improve-ment done without a permitwould affect her home sale.
Coker and other codes offi-cials said if the project wasdone correctly, most likely not.But if any changes aren’t up tocode and a home inspectorfinds them, that could spelltrouble.
“They won’t loan money on ahome that hasn’t been permit-ted and approved,” Coker said.
“The improvement could beunsafe and hazardous to occu-pants and it could result in cost-ly legal action,” he added.
Also speaking during theseminar was Colin Cumesty,Farragut’s fire prevention offi-cer, on the importance of smokeand carbon monoxide alarms.
“Fire technology has jumpedforward by leaps and bounds,”he said.
Smoke detectors should beplaced in each sleeping area,outside each sleeping area, andwith at least one on each floor.Batteries should be checkedmonthly and replaced yearly.

Code Official of the Year is themost prestigious award theETBOA bestows on code offi-cials. Johnson was recognized atthe ETBOA annual training andsafety meeting in February inSevierville.
“The Town is extremely luckyto have Dan,” Farragut
Community Development direc-tor Ruth Hawk said.
“His experience, knowledgeand expertise help ensure safebuildings for our citizens andbusiness owners,” she added.
Johnson began working as firemarshal for the town of Farragutthrough Rural Metro FireDepartment in 2001. He beganwork in the fire prevention officein Knox County in1997.
“My job duties as the fire mar-shal for the Town include codeenforcement, fire investigation,public education and maintain-ing a positive partnershipbetween Rural Metro and theTown,” Johnson said.
Johnson and his wife, April,have one son and live inFarragut.
Johnson was elected presidentof the ETBOA Board of Directors
in 2012 after serving as vice pres-ident in 2011 and secretary/treasurer in 2010.

‘Farragut Idol’■ ALAN SLOAN
Until last summer, Jamie Pratt had absolutely noconfidence in her ability to sing in public.
Fast forward to late last month when Pratt, usingher guitar and voice to woo three judges, earned thetitle of Farragut Idol.
“I’ve always thought I was a really bad singer. Butthen last summer, God called me into worship lead-ing. Doing the music, leading the songs,” said Pratt,a Farragut High School junior who won the school’s
third annual Idol competition Saturday, Feb. 23, inVickie B. Wells Auditorium.
“Over the summer, somebody told me I wasn’t asbad a singer as I thought, so I thought, ‘Hmmm, I’llexplore this,’” Pratt added.
Pratt won versus 12 other FHS contestants, eachcompeting in three rounds: a capella, music choiceand contestant choice (a cappella or music).
As one of four finalists, Pratt’s only previoussinging contest experience was at church last year.
Playing her gui-tar, Jamie Pratt,a Farragut HighSchool junior,went on tobecome FarragutIdol champion,2013.

Ask the VetCan rat poison harm my pet?
Q: My neighbor said her dog,Alex, almost died last week fromeating rat poison. I’ve heard thatrat poisonwas bad fordogs, but Ididn’t knowit was thats e r i o u s .Can yougive memore infor-mation, forthe safetyof my dogand cattoo?
— Kate,Farragut
A: Accidental ingestion of ratpoison can become a life-threat-ening situation. Rat poison ismade to kill rats, but unfortu-nately, it can kill dogs and catsthe same way. Without treat-ment, affected dogs or cats willslowly bleed to death internallyover 3-6 days.
Rat poison damages and even-tually destroys the body’s VitaminK stores. Without Vitamin K,
other clotting factors cannotwork, and the blood simply can-not clot.
The good news is that VitaminK is the antidote. Treatment isoften started with injectableVitamin K1 and continued withpills for 2-4 weeks, depending onthe exact ingredients of the ratpoison was ingested.
If you know that your dog orcat has eaten rat poison, your vet-erinarian can induce vomiting ifthe poison has been eaten in thepast hour or so. Even if this issuccessful, most veterinariansstill recommend giving the oralVitamin K, erring on the side ofcaution.
Many owners do not see theirpet eat the rat poison (or find thechewed up packaging), and that’swhen it can become more seri-ous, such as in your neighbor’scase. Affected dogs or cats willbecome increasingly lethargic,but by the time clinical signs areobvious, the pets are often veryill. Bleeding can be in theabdomen and/or in the chest.Blood transfusions are often nec-essary to save these pets.
And as a side note — there isa new rat poison on the marketthat contains bromethalin. Thistoxin works in a different way,and there is no antidote. It ismuch more toxic to our pets andunfortunately has much higherfatality rates, in comparison tothe conventional rat poisons.These and all chemicals and tox-ins should always be kept safelywhere pets cannot access them.

However, “My rewards havealways been in the children thatI’ve taught and how they alwaysseemed to have a good time in myclass,” Karnes said. “To this day Ihave them coming back and talk-ing to me about what theylearned in sixth-grade socialstudies and the fun things weused to do.”
Carolyn Westbrook, FMS sixth-grade language arts teacher, hasworked under, or alongside,Karnes for 23 years. “Studentsloved her and learned volumesbecause she made learning funand relevant,” Westbrook said.
Ending her career as principalat FMS after serving six years as
Bearden Middle School principal,“It’s been like coming back homebecause I did work here so long,”Karnes said. “And many of thefaculty and staff are still here,and were here four years agowhen I came here.
“It’s a wonderful way to finishmy career,” she added. “I lovedteaching. I loved going toBearden Middle, that was a greatadventure for me. The peoplethat I met there were wonderful.
“But coming back here wascoming back home.”
During an FMS winter sportsbanquet Thursday night, March6, Denise Simmons, parent of aneighth-grade FMS student, salut-ed Karnes in front of the gather-ing.
“Thanks for taking care of our
children,” Simmons said amongher words of praise to Karnes,who was presented an arrange-ment of roses during the ceremo-ny.
As a principal, Westbrook saidKarnes “inspires her staff to givetheir best to students. Sheencourages teachers to excel intheir areas of giftedness and rec-ognizes that teachers can reachthe same goals through a varietyof methods.
Rich Fulford, FHS assistantprincipal and AD, told the gather-ing, “I’ve worked under six princi-pals, and she’s by far my favoriteone to work for. To be honest, it’slike working for your mom.
“But, also, I love her,” headded. “She’s a great lady andwe’re fortunate to have had her.”

BHS runners-up instate Science Bowl
Alan Sloan/farragutpress
Holding their state runner-up trophy and $750 representative check is Bearden Team 1, No. 2 inTennessee Science Bowl 2013. From left are Julie Smalling, BHS science teacher and team spon-sor, Cole Graham, Michael Pearce, Hayes Griffin, Tabitha Colter and Dalton Chaffee.
■ ALAN [email protected]
Following a third-place finishduring PBS East TennesseeScholars Bowl last fall, FarragutHigh School’s Scholars Bowl teambecame FHS Science Bowl Team1, looking to avenge last year’sclose loss to Bearden in TennesseeScience Bowl.
Bearden, however, would havethe better showing once again.
Though reaching the final 16among a 55-school field statewide,FHS Team 1 then ran head-firstinto a scholarly brick wall: OakRidge Team 2 junior captain EmilyCheng.
Cheng almost single-handedlysent FHS Team 1 home in a one-sided round of 16 loss, endinghopes of a state title at BlountCounty Campus of PellissippiState Community CollegeSaturday, Feb. 23.
“It was kind of incredible, theirteam captain answered everyquestion almost exactly correct.I’ve never seen anything like thatbefore,” said Matthew Milligan,FHS physics teacher and teamcoach.
However, “I think our team didreally well overall, we’ve beenpreparing for a long time,” saidAkshay Soni, FHS Team I junior,who along with team captain, sen-
ior Lawrence Wang, helped leadFHS to last year’s second-placefinish. “It was a very balancedteam.”
Along with junior Lam Tran andalternates Kenneth Ye, a junior,and Connor MacLean, a senior,FHS Team 1 defeated SignalMountain, Sequoyah, Oneida,Bradley Central and White House-Heritage in its “Crick Division.”
Each showdown of teams —four participants plus one alter-nate — features two eight-minutehalves and a two-minute “half-time,” with a series of shortanswer and multiple choice ques-tions on such topics as physics,chemistry, biology, mathematics,engineering and earth-and-space.
Questions, worth four pointsduring lightning rounds and 10 fora bonus question correctlyanswered, get increasinglytougher as teams advance.
FHS Team 2 was comprised ofonly three members — sopho-mores Don Joo, Daniel Hong andJason Fu — yet won four of its sixmatches despite not advancing.
Meanwhile, Bearden’s senior-laden Team 1 came within one cor-rect answer at the end of repeat-ing as state champs.

Cindy Doyle, State Farm Insurance Agent at 248 N. Peters Road, Suite 4, (middle, in black), sponsored four area schools’ Fourth Grade Foresters Project for ArborDay, Friday, March 1. Doyle stands beside Concord Christian School principal Leigh Ledet (white sweater), as fourth-grade teachers and their students who tookpart in the project’s saplings giveaway welcomed Doyle to CCS on Arbor Day. Teachers, from left, are Brooke Bachand, Jennifer Alford (teal, in back) and Hayley

tion. “Since it’s not been here in
Knoxville, they asked me if Iwould bring it to Knoxville,”added Doyle, whose agency islocated at 248 N. Peters Road,Suite 4. “I thought, ‘I’ll try it thisyear and see how it goes.’ ... Ithought, ‘we’ll start with a groupof four elementary schools thisyear in West Knoxville and seehow this goes.’
“So far it’s been received verywell.”
Debra Ersch, co-founder ofFourth Grade Foresters Project,said “this project is made possi-
ble because community peoplelike Cindy Doyle covered the costof each of the individually pack-aged evergreen trees, so thatthere is no cost to the students,the teachers, the school or thetaxpayer.”
While fully supported by LeighLedet, CCS Elementary Schoolprincipal, Doyle’s Arbor Day giftsalso benefited fourth-grade stu-dents in Hayley Miller’s andBrooke Bachand’s classes.
Each fourth-grader whoreceives a tiny evergreenbecomes a member of FourthGrade Foresters, according toFGF information provided byDoyle.

Make it Fun!Learn how to be your own best friend
Today I accidentally received anemail not meant for me and sinceit was very short, I read it before Irealized it wasn’t’ for me. It said,(I’m going to use different names)“ H e yMary I gota n o t h e re m a i labout thisi n n e rc h i l dt h i n g ,what doyou thinkabout it?Maggie.”Attachedto thepost wasone of thetestimo-nials from one of my Make it Funfollowers. It made me wonderwhat “Maggie” thought and whatshe’d say to Mary.
I think the hardest part ofunderstanding this inner childthing is attaching a persona tothoughts we think that are con-trary to what we want to do. Inother words, unless we are veryaware, we do things that are self-sabotaging. Self-help is nothingnew and yet how many of us reallyknow how to help ourselves? Welike to get help from professionals,books, support groups and suchwhen all along there is wisdomwithin us that unless we pay atten-tion to it, we miss it.
I have loved the results of meet-ing and forging a relationship withNelly my inner child. She’s not areal child with blood and bones,but she’s a real child withthoughts and feelings and she waswith me even though I didn’t knowit, ten years ago when I was underthe pressure of $26,000 plus incredit card debt. When my housewas a mess 36 years ago I now
know she was there because myreason to get the place organizedwas so that I’d have more freetime to play! And I played with herto lose the 35 pounds I wroteabout in my book, The Mouth Trap:the butt stops here!
Suggesting to those having trou-ble imagining this inner child, tofind a photo of themselves fromtheir childhood has helped many.When you look at a picture of your-self when you were young andinnocent it can help you be morepatient, kind and compassionatewith yourself as you reclaim yourbalance and the peace that comeswith that.
I can only speak for women, butI can guess this concept of aninner child works for men too.(Just read what St. Paul had to sayin Romans 7: 17-20.) We womengrow up and most of us havebabies and are thrown into moth-erhood with the force of a crashingwave. My neighbor just had herfirst baby and she has that look! Ivisited her at 11:30 am one morn-ing and she was still in her nightgown, the house was a mess, herhair was tangled and shaped a lit-tle like a rooster. Charlie sleptpeacefully in a vibrating babyholder and Buckley (the familydog) was needy for the first timesince I’ve known him. “I’ve beenup all night,” were her ratherdazed first words to me.
Sleepless nights, cracked nip-ples, healing stitches, spit-upsplotched blouses, shirts, skirts,shoes, you get the picture. I thinkit’s with the onset of motherhoodthat we start forgetting our ownwell-being. We can only neglectourselves so long before we startto see the results of neglect. Itusually shows up in a messy house,an unbalanced budget or over-weight. (Sometimes all three!)
My motto is “Make it fun and it
will get done!” The main message Ihave for this inner child thing is,to learn how to have fun with YOU.If I had my way, the title of thisMake it Fun article would havebeen, Have Fun Playing withYourself! But of course that titlewould cause an upheaval! But Ireally, really mean it when I say Ihope you can learn how to playwith yourself. When you are yourown best friend, you will love yourlife with a passion only those ofyou, who know, know.
I remember when I was young Iwhined to my mom that Donna
Trotland said she didn’t want toplay with me. Mom said, “Well yougo outside and play by yourself andact like you are having fun.” Iremember wondering what to do?What I did was start running anddoing cartwheels and rollingaround on the lawn. I remember itbeing an act at first but soon I washaving fun! And you know what?Donna came over and wanted toplay!
I’ve said this before; all of ourproblems are windows of opportu-nity to get to know ourselves bet-ter. What a wonderful plan GodPam

had for us! When you spend thetime getting to know and under-stand what has caused a problemin your life, you get the joy of get-ting to know YOU. The YOU Godmade and loves and if God lovesyou, you should love YOU too. Nowgo play with yourself, and youknow what I mean.

“We are the only full-service,dine-in with beer and wine Jet’sPizza in the entire country,” saidAshley Middlebrooks, Jet’s Pizzamarketing manager for the area.
“There are no plans for anyother of this kind, and we arestill perfecting our overall pic-ture of what it can be,” sheadded.
The private dining room seatsabout 45 people comfortably,Middlebrooks estimated, andcan be reserved by anyone forparties or meetings.
The bar serves beer and wine,and Middlebrooks hopes to beable to provide full bar offeringsin the future. The menu is thesame as the dine-in area acrossthe restaurant, and evenincludes old-school video andpinball machines for family-
friendly fun.“The games were put in to be
fun for everyone,” Middlebrookssaid.
“We intend on adding moregames soon and are looking tohold corn-hole tournaments thissummer with prizes and weeklyspecials. We consider ourselvesa family-friendly restaurant andwelcome everyone,” she added.
The four Knoxville area Jet’sPizza locations are owned by Joe“J.C.” Ford, who also ownsrestaurant locations in Michiganand plans three more forKnoxville’s metro area.

Gander Mt. says no plans for gun range■ HEATHER BECK
Plans to expand Farragut’sGander Mountain location withthe addition of a gun rangeapparently will not be coming tofruition.
The plans — which wouldhave added 10,000 square feetand included a proposed gunrange to the store — wereapproved by Farragut MunicipalPlanning Commission in March2011.
Gander Mountain mediaspokesman Jess Myers said hewas unaware of any plans to con-struct a gun range at Farragut’s
store, 11501 Parkside Drive.“About two years ago we
launched an initiative calledGander Mountain Academy andwe have six of those,” Myers said.
The six Gander MountainAcademy stores, which haveshooting ranges, operate inFlorida, Wisconsin, Minnesota,Texas and Kansas.
“It’s a full training center inthe store with a live fire shootingrange, a virtual shooting range,classrooms and a full range ofeverything needed to make sureyou’re properly and safely han-dling your firearm,” Myers said.

“They’re really good at makingplays, scoring.”
With the Despins family beingfrom Canada, coach Despinssaid about his triplets, “Thoseguys have been playing hockeysince they were five years old.”
Lucas and Gage led the team’s“cycling” attack, which coachDespins said “is really tough todefend; any team really strug-gles to defend it. ... In highschool you don’t typically see it.”
Other key seniors are defend-er Austin Scheidt (11 assists)and forwards Danny Petrow(eight goals, 10 assists) and AlexRobinson (one goal, threeassists).
Junior Dakota Christian wasnamed KAHA’s Top Goalie, lead-ing the league in save percent-age (90) and fewest goalsallowed (15).
Sophomore forward FelixBjurstrom is among the under-classmen giving hope to thefuture, scoring 21 goals anddishing out 24 assists. “He’splayed a lot of hockey; he’s origi-nally from Sweden,” coachDespins said.
Gavin Gauld, sophomore for-ward (eight goals, four assists),“is also Canadian,” the coachsaid. “He grew up about 60 milesaway from my boys up inCanada. But we never kneweach other back then. So we’vehad some kids where hockeyruns in their blood.
“The local kids, the DannyPetrows, the ThomasDetchemendys, these kids havebeen playing hockey here in theprogram for a long time, andthey’re really good hockey play-ers,” coach Despins added.
Detchemendy said he was“surprised a lot” aboutFarragut’s success, especially inthe state tourney.
“When I heard that four teamsfrom Nashville were coming,good teams, I was like, ‘Oh man,we’ve got some competition com-ing to town,’” he added.
In looking for keys to success,Despins pointed to the team’sseven seniors, led by the coach’striplets: forward Lucas Despins,KAHA League MVP and TopPlaymaker, scored 22 goals anddished out 25 assists; Gage

It’s been a steady rise fromlast place to state champion,with a perfect record, forFarragut High School hockey.
“We’ve been building thisteam. When I came here [startof 2010-11 season], we were inlast place,” said head coachRobert Despins, whose teamcapped a perfect 20-0-0 seasonwith a Blue Division state cham-pionship Sunday, March 3, inCool Sports Home of theIcearium.
With 14 of the team’s 16 play-ers actually attending FHS —compared to other local highschools, which have to combineforces to field a team — “it’shard to find one high school inthe hockey population that wehave here that has got thatmuch talent on it,” Despinssaid.
However, with the injury bughitting a number of key playersduring the season, “I neverthought we’d be able to accom-plish that,” Despins said about aperfect season and state title.“We just squeaked through someof those games.”
Overall, “These kids juststepped up,” the coach added.“They were a very determinedteam.”
Moreover, “Once we startedthe play-offs wehad ourfull roster
available,” Despins said. “Theywere just unstoppable at thatpoint. They got their confidenceup. They never slowed down inthe games at all.”
As for Farragut possiblybecoming the first everKnoxville Amateur HockeyAssociation High School Leagueteam to finish with a perfectrecord, “No one remembers anyother team going undefeatedthrough the whole season andwinning state,” Despins said.“That’s not easy to do.”

Knights 2
Despins, League’s Top Forward,led KAHA with 31 goals; DaneDespins is a key defender.
“Gage and Lucas, they reallypump our team up,” said seniorforward Thomas Detchemendy(17 goals, eight assists).

However, “When we stepped outon that ice, we played our heartsout. We got two shutouts the firsttwo games,” he added.
About he and Petrow on thesame line, Detchemendy added,“Danny, me and him really havegood chemistry together, so meand him worked well on the sameline throughout the year.”
Scheidt, a former Admiral
hockey player before FHS base-ball caused a change in plans,came back last December to con-tribute as a senior. “Austin is anatural athlete ... he’s reallysmart, gifted,” the coach said.
Among other younger Ads,sophomore Brandon Timmishelped anchor the defense, whileKyle Lindsay, sophomore defend-er, Justin Richwine and HarleyGorlewski, sophomore forwards,and Ross Ludington, freshmanforward, added vital depth.
“They just kind of understoodthe game better,” coach Despinssaid. “Positionally and every-thing. That kind of filled theholes on our team. They justinstinctively know what to dowhen they get out there.”
Gorlewski “can skate until hedrops,” the coach added.
Back-up goalkeeper TatumMagill, a sophomore, was a first-year Admiral. “She made somereally good, key saves in the play-offs,” coach Despins said.

ENTERPRISE CLUB
On Tuesday, February 26, a crowd of over one hundred bravedthe rain to attend the Chamber’s first 2013 Breakfast SpeakerSeries featuring Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero. The break-fast was held at Fox Den Country Club. Chamber members andguests were interested to hear from Mayor Rogero about herfirst year as mayor, her work with area leaders and her commu-nity-oriented philosophy that “no city is an island.” Rogeroemphasized, “We live in a global economy, so it is obvious thatour future depends on the health of our regional economy.Working together regionally is the key to our success.”
Rogero is Knoxville’s first female mayor and the first femalemayor in any of the state’s big four cities. Her enthusiasm forher job as mayor was evident as she repeated, “I love my job! Ihave a great job!” and went on to say that she has a great city,terrific staff and enjoys a good working relationship withFarragut mayor Ralph McGill and Knox County mayor TimBurchett.
Rogero gave attendees a brief summary of the progress ongoals from her 2011 campaign. Her present focus is on buildingstronger neighborhoods, having a better business climate,developing a vital downtown and having a greener more sus-tainable Knoxville. She was happy about the decrease in localpartisan politics because it made the city’s decision-makingprocess easier, benefiting everyone involved. Rogero was quickto quip, “... then again, there is not much partisanship in pot-holes, roads and greenways!”
Mayor Rogero wound up her presentation with the progressbeing made downtown and extended an invitation to all to
spend time there, because “A thriving downtown is a key to astrong city.” Continuing what was started under Mayor Haslam,Rogero and the City are strategically investing to give develop-ers incentive to come downtown by investing in road and streetimprovements and parking.
Volunteer Ministry Center was the Mayor’s chosen recipientfor a portion of the breakfast proceeds. A check for $275was presented to Mayor Rogero for the charity. She also signeda children’s book that was donated in her name to PrimroseSchool in Farragut.
The Chamber would like to thank Presenting Sponsor: Townof Farragut, Event Sponsor: NHC Place Assisted Living,Community Sponsor: Pinnacle Financial Partners, andMedia Sponsor: farragutpress.

Being Successful Requires Work. There aremany key components that can lead to yoursuccess in anything you do, be it business orjust life. Here are five keys to get you started.Key #1:
Be Original. The burden of originality isone that most people don’t want to accept.They’d rather sit in front of the TV and letthat tell them what they’re supposed to like,what they’re supposed to buy and whatthey’re supposed to laugh at. How are you dif-ferent? Your value is in your difference fromothers. To succeed you must understandyour difference and you must find a way tooffer that difference to the world.Key #2:
Focused Branding. When thinking ofcoupons many think of “Low Prices.” Whenthinking of “Google,” one thinks of “SearchEngine.” Every successful person or busi-ness can be summed up in a word or twobecause they’ve focused on their niche andthey’ve successfully communicated that focusand its benefit to the world.What do peoplethink of when they think of you? They shouldbe able to “sum up” your benefit in a word ortwo.Key #3:
Relationships. We’ve all heard the saying,“It’s not what you know, but who you know.”This saying certainly has some truth in it.The good news is: “If you don’t know some-one, you can always get to know them.”Networking is a major key to success; who doyou know? You are only a few humans awayfrom anyone in the world; you know someone,who knows someone, who knows someone,who knows someone…Key #4:
Have a Goal and a Plan. The most basiclesson is to have a specific goal with a dead-line, and to have a step-by-step plan toachieve the goal. The person without a goalis like a car without an engine; it’s not goingvery far. Weekly and monthly goals guide youand motivate you. A plan is needed to giveyou the directions to get you to your goal.Otherwise, you may wander, you may even getlost, but you won’t make it to your destina-tion.Key # 5:
Remember the Main Thing. As the sayinggoes, the “main thing” is always to keep the“main thing,” the “main thing.” Determinethe three or four things to do daily to guaran-tee your success, then duplicate these daily.If you can have a successful day, then you canhave a successful year, you just have to beconsistent.
