West Knox observes Memorial Day■ COURTNEY SUCH

Memorial Day holds a specialplace in the hearts of residentsin the West Knox County area.

U.S. Army Spc. ChristopherFox was looking for water for ayoung boy in Baghdad when abullet took his life, just one weekbefore his 22nd birthday on Sept.29, 2008.

While on his second tour inIraq, Fox reached to the top of avehicle for a bottle of water andwas shot by sniper fire in thearmpit where his vest did notcover him.

“It’s what I expected of Chris.He loves kids. He used to workedat summer camp,” said AmyFrost, Fox’s mother and formerFHS special education teacher.

“You can’t describe this kindof personality in a few sentences.But when they told me he waskilled by a single bullet, I said noway this bigger than life kid waskilled by one single bullet,” Frostadded.

Retired Lt. Cmdr. Bob Cosby,NJROTC senior naval scienceinstructor at FHS and formercolleague of Frost, participatedin his second Mountain ManMemorial March in honor of FoxApril 19. Cosby finished the

march in first place wearing fulluniform and carrying a 35-poundpack in a time of 5:20:20. Five ofhis students also marched a halfmarathon together in memory ofthe late Cpl. Jason Davis, U.S.Marine Corps in 2:35:16, a win-ning time for their class division.

“It’s really a fabulous tributeto the Gold Star Families andthose service men and womenthat lost their lives,” Cosby said.“The idea is that you never for-get, and that’s one of the waysyou do it, that you never forget.”

Frost could not be morethankful for her son being hon-ored in this way. “It’s an amazingthing what they do, and they doit so our kids’ names aren’t for-gotten,” Frost said on behalf ofall the Gold Start Families, anorganization of people who havelost family members in war.“After a couple years, peoplestop asking, so it’s always nice toknow your kid’s name is stillbeing spoken aloud.”

This was the sixth annualMountain Man Memorial Marchput on by American Legion PostNo. 2 of Knoxville. Gold StarFamilies from all over the coun-try come to East Tennessee andhave a group of people run inhonor of their lost heroes.

Another fallen soldier repre-

sented in the March was U.S.Army Pvt. First Class MarionFrank Walden Jr., 19, who waskilled under “hostile conditions”while serving his country in

South Vietnam. Walden was an infantryman in

A Company, 1st Battalion, 18thInfantry, 1st Infantry Division.His short tour in Vietnam started

on Oct. 24 and ended Dec. 13,1968.

“He was a real fine young man.

Hotel/Motel taxtabled for now

■ ALAN [email protected]

Advocating a 3 percentHotel/Motel tax to enhance townof Farragut attractions to “getmore people to come to ourTown,” a Town governmentleader said tax revenue wouldcome back to boost business,drawing visitors into Farragut’ssoon-to-be eight motels.

The counter argument, includ-

ing a Farragut hotel owner andtop brass with two hospitalityassociations, is the tax will takeaway Farragut hotels’ edge as acheaper alternative, versus Cityof Knoxville’s current 3 percentHotel/Motel tax, therefore push-ing away lodging visitors other-wise ready to spend money inTown.

Advocates for both sides met

Jerry Askew, TennovaHealthcare senior vice presidentfor governmental relations, gavean overview of the AffordableCare Act at a community forumat Town Hall Tuesday, May 14.

“It might be useful to runthrough what is actually in theAffordable Care Act becausefrankly, given what you hear onthe television, you rarely get a

basic objective view of what’sactually in the act,” Askew said.

The forum, with the topic of“The Future of Healthcare andIts Impact on Business,” hadfour speakers, including TurkeyCreek Medical Center CEOLance Jones, BB&T InsuranceServices vice president PamLawhorn, Summit MedicalGroup CEO Tim Young andAskew.

I always said he’d be good to awife, because he was alwaysgood to me,” Iris Walden said.

While attending the dedica-tion of the Vietnam Wall inWashington, D.C., Walden cameacross a Gold Star Mothers hos-pitality room.

“I went in, got some info, cameback home and got busy,”Walden said. She founded theEast Tennessee Gold StarMothers chapter in 1983. Waldenalso worked her way up throughleadership on the national level,serving as secretary twice, treas-urer, first vice president, secondvice president, and ultimatelypresident for the 2000-2001term, when she brought thenational convention right to theheart of downtown Knoxville.

“I would advise any motherthat’s lost a son or daughter toget involved. We are able to helpeach other a lot and honor eachother’s kids,” Walden said.

The list of American heroeswith Farragut roots continueswith the late 1st Lt. Alexander“Sandy” Bonnyman Jr., a Medalof Honor and Purple Heart recip-ient from East Tennessee duringWorld War II .

His nephew, Dr. BrianBonnyman, formally worked at aFarragut practice. Although henever knew his uncle, Dr.Bonnyman has heard many sto-ries about him.

“I think he was a pretty color-ful character. He was charismat-ic, very handsome and athletic,”Bonnyman said.

Lt. Bonnyman flunked out ofPrinceton University and enlist-ed into the U.S. Army Air Corps.He did not actually go to fightuntil he was in his 30s, a coalminer, and married with threechildren. Despite all of this, hevolunteered as a Marine private.He climbed his way up the lad-der of leadership and became alieutenant. He is most known forshowing bravery by leading agroup of men during the Battleof Tarawa and eventually losinghis life by standing at the frontof the battle line, resulting inthe United States securing thisisland.

“It’s the third day [of battle]and this guy with a different unitnobody knew shows up, and hesaid, ‘I think I’ve got a plan forstriking this fort,’” Bonnymanadded.

“What I think is most strikingis these people who didn’t evenknow him followed him,”Bonnyman said.

The Lt. Alexander BonnymanMarine Corps League Detach-ment No. 924 of Knoxville holdsa Memorial Day service at theSgt. Mitchell W. Stout Medal ofHonor Memorial at VirtueCemetery each year. A keynotespeaker will deliver a messageprior to the Presentation of theColors at 11 a.m., Monday, May27.

to outline there positions duringa forum, sponsored by FarragutBusiness Alliance, in Town Hallboardroom Thursday morning,May 16.

Town leaders and Board ofMayor and Aldermen wanted to“start targeting that tourismeffort, and start branding our-selves to the outside world,” saidDavid Smoak, town administra-tor and tax advocate. “The coun-ty has a five percent Hotel/MotelTax. The City of Knoxville addsthree percent.

“Many cities” surroundingKnox County also have imple-mented a Hotel/Motel Tax,Smoak added.

One use of Hotel/Motel Taxrevenues would be to “enhancethose facilities” already in place“in order to get more people tocome to our Town,” Smoak said.“That takes quite a few capitaldollars.”

“We’re talking about capitalprojects that are worth $8.5 mil-lion, or more dollars, over thenext five, six, seven years,” headded.

Smoak spoke about a “$6 mil-lion project” planned for McFeePark featuring installation of“two artificial turf fields” similarto one planned to be completedin Mayor Bob Leonard Park thisfall. Such fields allow for useyear-round versus having to“shut down our fields” in Julyand August to let the fields growin.” That’s also the case “in thewintertime.”

“Just a few weeks ago I thinkthere was 155 soccer teams thatplayed here in our Town, and

they had over 1,500 hotel roomsthat they utilized,” Smoakadded.

In addition, “We’re going to behiring a consultant,” he said.

Concerning the historic yetvacant Russell House, which sitsa few hundred yards off KingstonPike behind Taco Bell,“Certainly, we would anticipate,if we could, turning that into ahouse museum and a visitorscenter,” Smoak said. “I knowthat historic tourism visitorstend to spend more money andstay longer.”

Greg Adkins, president/CEO ofTennessee Hospitality Associat-ion, spoke against the tax.

Trucking companies areamong those, including “largergroups of 10 to 20,” that would“target specific communitiesbased on how much their hoteltax is,” Adkins said.

“Generally, what we seenationwide is for every two per-cent increase in hotel taxes,according to the AmericanEconomics Group ... there was a2.4 percent reduction” in busi-ness, Adkins added.

“What I would request, if thistax does go forward, that specif-ic tourism language goes into theordinance. … At least saying 100percent of it has to be used fortourism development.”

Though passing theHotel/Motel Tax ordinance onfirst reading April 25 with onlyone no vote, Alderman BobMarkli, BOMA has tabled a sec-ond reading originally scheduledduring its meeting tonight,Thursday, May 23.

Though its most of its operat-ing budget paid for by tax dollarsthrough town of Farragut, FBA

“opposes the proposed 3 percenthotel-motel tax until such a timewhen a definitive plan for use ofthe funds is established and ableto be evaluated,” according to apress release from David Purvis,president of FBA board of direc-tors, which met in executive ses-sion following the forum.

“The motion carried unani-mously, with both Mayor RalphMcGill and Tom O’Neil(Hampton Inn & Suites atTurkey Creek) abstaining.”

Amit Patel, owner of ComfortSuites and Country Inn & Suites

in Farragut, said, “To remaincompetitive, we would actuallyhave to reduce our rate [tomatch] those hotels that do nothave a city tax.

“We feel it’s unfair to target asingle industry until all optionshave been explored,” Pateladded.

Jill Thompson, executivedirector of Greater KnoxvilleHospitality Association, listedarea sales and hotel tax rates toinclude Blount County (15.30percent), Oak Ridge (14.75) andLenoir City (14).

At 14.25 percent in Farragut,“We’re definitely at an advantagenow,” Jill Thompson said.

Dale Thompson of GKHA said,“At 14.25 [percent] you’re high-er than 75 percent of the coun-try.”

• Creating a new hotel/moteltax is a terrible idea on severallevels. First, taxes should onlybe implemented for a specificneed — and then only after noother revenue source is found.In this case, it seems to me thatthe Town administrator has dis-covered that we are allowed tocreate such a tax, therefore weshould. Last week’s farragut-press editorial forcefully madethis point about Farragut’sbackward process of taxing firstand then finding a need for itsuse. I have no doubt that thepoliticians now in power couldmanage to spend the moneythat they collect in the guise ofhaving new parks to attract thehordes of tourists that are flood-ing to “historic” Farragut andthe result would be to perhapsspend $25 of tax revenue to cre-ate $1 of tourism. Second, andmore troubling, is the sense Iget from reading about thiseffort is that we can get some-thing good for ourselves such asmore parks and have someoneelse (hotel patrons from out oftown) pay for it. This is the atti-tude that has changed our soci-ety from being self-reliant toone where there are more tak-ers of government services thanpayers. Shame on the Farragutpoliticians for promoting theidea that taxes are OK as long

as someone else pays them. Ican only hope that they wouldhave thought this idea throughmore thoroughly if they weregoing to tax Farragut residents,because we all know how suc-cessful that effort would havebeen.

• I just wanted to make thecomment about the article inlast week’s [May 16] farragut-press about Eddy Ford’s 68-plusacres up for sale again. There isa comment in here about theprevious administration approv-ing certain codes and regula-tions to make it a more desir-able property to sell. I wasinterested to see that the per-son who wrote the article didnot mention that the previousadministration was Eddy Fordwhen he was the mayor. I wasjust kind of wondering why thatwas.

Editor’s Note: During thevotes and discussion of the ordi-nances created to develop atown center on the Ford proper-ty, then Mayor Eddy Fordrecused himself from all discus-sion and voting.

• I just wanted to thank theworkers in Farragut for thebeautiful banners that theyhave put up on our streets. I amreally enjoying them and justwanted to thank them for alltheir hard work.

“The act requires just abouteverybody to have insurance,”Askew said. “It’s called the man-date.”

Healthcare.gov states that,“Under the Affordable Care Act,starting in 2014, you must beenrolled in a health insuranceplan that meets basic minimumstandards. If you aren’t, you maybe required to pay an assess-ment. You won’t have to pay anassessment if you have very lowincome and coverage is unafford-able to you or for other reasonsincluding your religious beliefs.You can also apply for a waiverasking not to pay an assessmentif you don’t qualify automatical-ly.”

The problem lies with thepenalty, Askew said.

“One of the flaws in the

Affordable Care Act is that thepenalties are so low versus thecost of insurance that a lot ofpeople, we fear, will — andthese will particularly be theyoung people who we really needto get into the risk pool becausethey’re young and healthy — willchoose to pay the penaltyinstead of buying insurance,” hesaid. “So that’s a flaw in the sys-tem that will probably get cor-rected over time.”

Insurance exchanges are theact’s attempt to return competi-tion to the system, he said.

“It’s just a website where any-body can go and see everybodywho wants to sell insurance onthe exchange,” he said. “Seewhat they cost. See what thebenefits are, and see whether ornot they’re eligible for any subsi-dies from the government tohelp them purchase insurance.It’s like going to the mall except

going to the mall on the web. Theidea is that insurance compa-nies, private insurance compa-nies, will compete for the busi-ness of all these new people.”

Under the act, insurance com-panies cannot discriminatebecause of pre-existing condi-tions, he said.

“Now that’s a really importantpoint because that goes hand inglove with the mandate,” he said.“Remember, the primaryprovider of insurance under theAffordable Care Act are privateinsurance companies, just like isthe case now. If you tell privateinsurance companies, ‘you can-not discriminate on the basis ofpre-existing conditions. You haveto insure everybody who applies,’and then you don’t require every-body to be in the pool, then whywould anybody ask for insuranceuntil they already are sick?”

with recognition for his four-yearfull scholarship, (including roomand board) to the Air ForceAcademy.

“I told you they were some-thing out of the gate,” Reynoldssaid, making a classy comparisonto the racehorses in theKentucky Derby.

Hardin Valley Academy’s cere-mony opened with their ChoralEnsemble and speeches byMeredith Graves, Simon Davis,Evan Humphreys and GabriellaValentine, bringing a tear tomany of the graduates’ eyesSaturday afternoon, May 18.

“This class embraced the HVAtraditions and moved them for-ward. They are work horses, allof them, as a class, and they haverisen to the top,” HVA principalSallee Reynolds said.

This class totaled with morethan $17 million in scholarships,and the majority of them stoodto be recognized for an offeringof at least one to their attendingschools.

“Do not let today be the peakof your accomplishments …onwards is where each one of uswaits,” Graves said in her com-mencement address despite thelong list of achievements theclass takes with them.

Many of the students accreditthese accomplishments straightto HVA.

“I could do whatever I wanted,because the school let me do so.Because of this school, we haveflourished. We don’t leave ourexperiences here,” said Valen-tine, Hawk Award recipient, theschool’s highest award.

Isaiah Bell is the valedictori-an, while Trevor Dixon andSamuel Shadwell shared the

title of salutatorian. In all, 434 students received

diplomas, as well as a big hugfrom Reynolds and a firm hand-shake from vice principal GeorgeAshe.

“The difference with this classis that they have that sense ofachievement. They want to doeverything well,” vice principalGeorge Ashe said. “It’s a great

quality.”Bearden High School awarded

diplomas to 427 graduates Fridaynight, May 17.

“These kids are special. Everyclass has its own personality, andthis one’s an academic-orientedclass,” BHS principal Dr. JohnBartlett said.

Bartlett was immediately ref-erencing the nine National Merit

Scholars and the four studentswho made a perfect 36 on theACT. In addition, the classtotaled $24.8 million in scholar-ships, an increase of more than$6 million over last year’s class.

“The academics are unparal-leled to any in history,” addedBartlett.

Town of Farragut hopes toduplicate last year’s trend of sev-eral first-time youth fishermenand their families, among 192total, who joined second-genera-tion families and other young-sters quite familiar with annualBob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo.

“I’ve actually had several con-versations with parents who actu-ally participated in the Rodeo asa child,” said Jay Smelser, TownAthletics & Parks coordinator,about this year’s 29th Rodeo, setfrom 9:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday,June 8, fishing out of FortLoudoun Lake at Anchor Park.“And now they’re able to sharethat same experience with theirchildren, which I think is reallyneat.”

Children age 13 and youngercan fish for free.

“Twenty-nine years is a long

time for any event to be running.I think that is really neat,”Smelser added Smelser.

Among new child participants,“For a lot of people, it’s the firsttime they’ve ever gone fishing,”Smelser said.

On-site registration, at 9 a.m.,is required just prior to theRodeo starting (no prior-day reg-istration accepted).

Based on recent years, Catfishand bluegill will be stocked justprior to Rodeo day according toSmelser. “It’s less than a couplehundred pounds,” he added.

Awards annually given out are“biggest fish, most number offish. And we just divide it by ageand gender,” Smelser said.

Town will supply a limitednumber of rods, but will have baitfor everyone, Smelser said.

Though no refreshments willbe served, free bottled water is

gardening and farming,” Hillsaid. “... He blogs about his expe-riences. He travels all over theworld to work with organic farm-ers and learn farming methods.”

Birke said his interest beganwith reading an Internet articleabout six years ago and research-ing further from there.

It is not pricey to eat healthyand organic, he said.

“I think it’s important for peo-ple to definitely buy from theirfarmers because you’re keepingyour money in your local econo-my,” he said. “You’re supportingyour friends and neighbors, andyou’re getting good, nutritiousfood.”

Birke said he wrote his bookfor a specific audience.

“I wrote it for kids my age andyounger, trying to get interestedin the food system and wantingto know a little bit more aboutwhat they’re eating,” he said.

The event included a perform-ance by the bluegrass band,

Birke Baehr poses with his book, “Birke on the Farm,” at theSpring Garden Festival.

Brandywine, Christian Academyof Knoxville student art displaysand children’s activities, Hillsaid.

Vendors had a variety of plants. New this year, the festival had

door prizes, she said, and a draw-ing for a $1,000 shopping spree atFranklin Square.

The event served as a fundrais-er for the Knox County Council of

Garden Clubs, she said.Linda Wimbrow, festival chair,

said the clubs’ money is priori-tized for the BeardsleyCommunity Farm, Ivan RacheffHouse and Gardens and theKnoxville Botanical Gardens.

“I think it’s wonderful to havegardens that the community canuse and enjoy and learn from,”Wimbrow said.

healthy foods — financially inde-pendent from KCS budget andpaid through student lunch feesand federal reimbursements — isworth it according to Dickl, espe-cially given how healthier schooleating habits are influencing fam-ily eating habits.

About principal Gina Byrd andher cafeteria staff, led by foodservices manager Donna Harrison,“They have shown leadership innutrition education, physical edu-cation, physical activity, theschool lunch menus,” said Dicklfollowing a ceremony Fridaymorning, May 10, where he andMote honored FPS for its bronzeaward in USDA’s Food andNutrition Service’s Healthiest U.S.Schools Challenge.

Byrd said she asked her stu-dents, “‘How many tried some-thing that they had never triedbefore and they liked it?’ And a lotof the kids raised their hands, sothat’s a big part of it.

“We’ve had more eat lunch thisyear than ever,” Byrd added. “Theylove it.”

In keeping with HealthierChallenge’s national effort, Byrdsaid KCS “has increased the fruitsand vegetable intake with theschool cafeteria as well as wholegrains. … Kids are trying moreand eating more fruits and vegeta-bles and whole grain.”

Mote said KCS has been able tooffer fresh fruits and vegetables

because of a cooperative effortbegun more than two years agowith farmers within a 250-mileradius of Knox County, known asFarm-to-School. “We are trying toencourage more and more agricul-ture to be locally produced and bebrought into the schools.”

Before Dickl took over with KCSnutrition for the 2010-11 schoolyear, “The year prior to my arrivalwe budgeted $150,000 for freshproduce,” Dickl said. “This pastschool year … we’re looking atprobably having spent about $1.5,$1.6 million.

For example, “We used to usefrozen broccoli, now we use broc-coli florets,” he said.

“We offer three to five kinds offresh, whole fruit every day,” Dickladded. “We offer fresh baby carrots,we do a salad every day, so they getdark, leafy green [vegetables] …We’ve gone to whole grain biscuits.”

“We’ve gotten feedback fromparents that it’s catching on andhaving an impact at home.”

As for statistics to back up devel-oping healthier students, Dicklpointed to a Knox County HealthDepartment statistic on school agechildren obesity rate dropping“from 39 percent to 34 percent. Wefeel we’re a contributing factor.”

Byrd said Harrison “has done agreat done feeding healthy snacksto our kindergarteners who start-ed a full day this year. Coach GayleHayes and Ms. Elizabeth Stone,our P.E. teachers, have initiated itwith fresh fruits and vegetabletasting.”

I’m torn by what happenedtoday. It all started when we gotin the Subaru and headed todowntown Woodland, Washin-gton when Terry said, “Uh oh, I’llbet there’s a mouse in the car!Look atthose pum-pkin seedshells onthe floorb o a r d . ”He pointedto a littlescatteringof shells onmy side ofthe car.

Now I’ma big fan ofM i c k e yMouse, buthe doesn’tb l a z ethrough space when you leastexpect him to. It’s that scurryingthat mice do, like a flasher atwedding, that scares me todeath, and the thought of amouse in the car made me readyto spring like, well a set mousetrap. “Where do ya think he is?” Iasked, as if my husband were aMouseketeer.

“I don’t know, he could be backat the house getting more pump-kin seeds.”

That thought calmed me as wedrove into town. Just as wepulled into the bank parking lot,I sneezed (no I’m not allergic tomice) and reached for a Kleenexin the glove compartment. That’swhen I saw it! The mouse hadmade a nest out of the Kleenex! Iscreamed, slammed the glovecompartment door shut, wipedmy nose on my sleeve and tooksome big, deep cleansingbreathes to calm myself. Terrywas hysterically laughing as Icontinued to try to regain mycomposure.

“OMG, she (I decided it was agirl) is in that nest, I just know it.She’s probably got babies inthere or if she’s back at the houselike you said, now she’s probablyupset because we’ve driven off inher new RV! Oh and if she doeshave babies, they’re gonna behungry pretty soon and sinceshe’s a lactating mother, her lit-tle breasts are gonna get allengorged while were gallivantingoff to town to see what’s new atWalmart!”

Terry just kept laughing, whichhelped my mood a little bit. Hecomposed himself to go in thebank and even though I didn’thave any business in there I was-n’t about to sit in a quiet carwaiting for him or the mouse toshow up whichever came first.His banking business took waytoo long and he suggested, “Whydon’t you go out in the car andsing real loud so the mouse won’tcome out?” I returned to our carand sang at the top of my lungs“M-I-C, K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E, MickeyMouse, Mickey Mouse, forever letus hold our banners high. . .”until he returned.

It’s hard to know what to dowhen you’re torn. See, I’m an ani-mal lover, but I also eat them. Idon’t wear fur, but I have aleather purse. I like Mickey butwe own mouse traps and useDecon. I’m torn between snuffingthis little four-legged cheeseeater or seeing it as a possibleopportunity to make trillions ofdollars like Walt did. If I could getover the fact that mice scurry,maybe I could share our car withthis new little family. Mice havebabies every six weeks and thosebabies can have babies whenthey’re six weeks old! Maybe Icould journal their life on theroad.

When we got back home, Terryopened the glove compartment (Icouldn’t look) and took the nestout. After a thorough inspectionhe concluded the shreddedKleenex was not the nest, justthe building materials for a nestthat must be someplace else. . .in the car.

So I sit here torn betweenDecon and one of those signs to

tributions during its first year.“One of the first things I

remember doing is sponsoringBridge [Refugee Services],”Lotspeich said. “We had JenniferCornwell come in and speak to usone night, and everybody said,‘Gee, that’s a great project.’ Soshe joined our club and we start-ed sponsoring Bridge activities.”

Lotspeich said TCR was “one ofnine clubs” to sign up for “theClub Visioning event,” adding,“That was a pretty good kick-start

on our first year.“Of course, our pancake break-

fast, that was our first fundrais-er,” Lotspeich added. “I think wecleared about $1,100.”

However, “When we got readyto write the check, Ed got up andsaid, “‘Gee, if we can raise $500more, Frank Rothermel said hewould match it, and we did it likethat,” Lotspeich said while snap-ping her fingers.

“So we’re in line to give $500scholarships [in May] to aFarragut [High School] junior,vocation. I think that’s a prece-dent-setting project for us.”

TCR also supported Honor Airby “writing letters to the veteransand see them come off the plane... they're just overwhelmed bythe people who are there to seethem come home,” Lotspeichsaid.

Flu Shot Saturday, in coopera-tion with The Rotary Club ofFarragut, was “a fun thing for usto participate in. It’s a good thingwe did because three of our mem-bers are nurses,” Lotspeich saidof the nurses who offered “drive-by” shots.

Owner J.D. Miller sits at the Concord Watch, Clock & Jewelry Center.


Concord Watch, Clock &Jewelry Center opened inNovember 2012, but owner J.D.Miller has worked on watchesfor more than 50 years.

Miller, the watch and pocketwatch specialist at the store,estimates he started workingon watches in his teens.

“I started out just as a kid,tearing watches apart,” he said.“And at first, I didn’t succeed,but I kept doing it. And thenfinally I could put them togeth-er, and it was kind of a, really ahobby.”

Miller, originally from NorthCarolina, was self-taught, hesaid.

“You just take tweezers,screwdrivers,” he said. “Youtake the watch apart, and you

EMT-IVs Kevin Hughes and Lucas Tallent eat during the EMSappreciation luncheon at Turkey Creek Medical CenterThursday, May 16.


To celebrate National EMSWeek, which happens May 19through May 25, an EMS appreci-ation luncheon took place atTurkey Creek Medical Center onThursday, May 16.

Constance Vucelich, emer-gency room director at TurkeyCreek Medical Center, calledEMS “our livelihood.”

“They’re absolutely vital,”Vucelich said. “When you thinkof somebody with a life-threaten-ing problem, such as a heartattack or a stroke, they are vital,what they do in the field, and wecommunicate well with them.Once the patient hits the door,we keep that continuum of careto get the patient the servicethey need as quickly as possi-ble.”

EMS personnel received T-shirts at the event that read,“EMS. One mission. One team.2013.”

“These are the guys that stabi-lize a patient, and you cannotunderestimate what they do toget someone out of their home orwherever that person is, to getthem stable and still breathing

to the door of our ER,” she said.“It cannot be underestimatedhow important they are andwhat their contribution is to thatpatient’s outcome.”

Debra Hamilton, executivedirector of cardiovascular servic-es for Tennova Healthcare, saidEMS personnel are the firstresponders.

“From my perspective, they’realways the first at any event,whether it’s on the scene of ahorrible accident or a patientexperiencing chest pain,”Hamilton said. “And withoutthem, a patient has such a lowprobability of survival. So theirrole, in my mind, is key, absolute-ly key to everything. They startthe medical chain of care to apatient absolutely.”

It’s important to thank themin a laid-back atmosphere, shesaid.

“Because in the heat of themoment when you’re just tryingto get a patient taken care of,you don’t take time to really saythank you because you’re moreconcerned about the patient,”she said. “So it’s a great time justto sit back, relax, have a good

It is also important for EMSpersonnel to know they areappreciated, she said.

“I think it’s important for themto understand that what they do

in the field makes the differenceto a patient and their outcomeand to be able to just say, ‘Thankyou for what you do. We appreci-ate what you do for our communi-ty, for patients that we serve,’”she said. “Because really, withoutthem, the hospital doesn’t func-tion without EMS, and patientsdon’t survive without them.”

put it back together. If it runs,you’re successful.”

The store, located at 11130Kingston Pike, suite 1, offersclocks, watches, jewelry andrepair.

Miller stressed the longevity ofa good watch.

“People today want to buysomething,” he said. “When ittears up, throw it away, and gobuy a new one. It doesn’t workthat way with a good watch. It’lllast you your lifetime and yourchildren’s lifetime with a goodwatch, but that doesn’t seem tobe the attitude of the youngergeneration.”

Miller compared caring for awatch to caring for a car.

“You see old, old cars runningup and down the road where peo-ple have taken care of them, andthat’s basically what you have todo with a watch, and that’s wheremy business comes from, taking

care of them,” he said.Young people use cell phones

to tell time today, he said.“Many people wear watches as

a, they wear a Rolex, I guess, as asign of success because you haveto pay pretty good money ifyou’re going to buy one,” he said.

On Thursday, May 9, Millerwore a Rolex, but it was a test toensure it worked well.

“Every watch that we sell, wecheck because these are not newwatches off the shelf,” he said.

He estimated the Rolex hewore was made in the ‘60s.

Miller prefers pocket watchesover wristwatches, he said.

“They’re older,” he said. “It wasthe beginning of the watch indus-try. They made pocket watcheslong before they made wrist-watches, and I guess that hadsomething to do with it.”

The oldest watch the shop hasis a Rundell and Bridge watch,made in England in 1795.

It is called a pair case watch,he said.

Though seven of the 11Farragut players seeing signifi-cant playing time in Friday'sSection 1-AAA showdown wereseniors, the other four Admiralswere huge contributors.

In the face of severe wildnessfrom senior staff ace KyleSerrano — giving up sevenwalks, a hit batter and two hits

during 22/3inningswhile

starting on three days restagainst Sevier County — a soph-omore reliever would save theday.

“Raby was the man,” FHShead coach Matt Buckner saidwith excitement in the team’spost-game huddle about sopho-more pitcher Patrick Raby, whohelped carry Farragut to an 8-5win at FHS's John HeatherlyField May 17. It marks the pro-gram's 12th Class AAA statetourney appearance in the past13 years.

Admitting he was “a little bitnervous” while pitching in thebiggest game of his life, Raby

quickly walked two and allowedan RBI single, as the SmokyBears (32-10) were ahead 5-2after three innings with a trip toMurfreesboro on the line.

But the sophomore settled

down quickly, ending the gameby retiring 12 of the last 13 bat-ters he faced with four strike-outs, one hit and no walks.

“My adrenaline was going. Ihad to calm down after [my]

first inning” he said. “I feltamazing.”

SEYMOUR — FarragutHigh School saw its seasoncome to an end Fridaynight.

The Lady Admiralsdropped a 4-0 decision toSeymour at T.J. CarterMemorial Softball Field ina Section 1-AAA contest.

Farragut High School’s boyssoccer team is headed back toMurfreesboro for the first timesince 2010.

The Admirals (20-3) answeredan early wake-up call Saturdayand defeated Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett in a high noon show-down at Farragut Stadium in thesectional round of the stateplayoffs.

The match was an afternoontilt since Farragut’s graduationceremonies were scheduled forSaturday night. The game wasearly but not as early as itcould’ve been if the Admiralshad lost in Region 2-AAA cham-pionship match on Thursday,May 16.

But Farragut won that gameand got a 2-0 victory overMaryville and got to host a

Section 1-AAA Saturday againstthe Indians (19-4-1).

“Getting that win [againstMaryville] was big because itmeant that we got to stayhome,” Farragut head coachWallie Culbreth said. “If we

wouldhave lostthatgame,

then our kids would’ve had totravel and we would’ve had toleave campus at 6:30 in themorning to play at 11 a.m.

“It wasn’t a motivation but itwas a huge relief. I tried tomotivate the kids with it but Icouldn’t.”

The Admirals, who have notgiven up a goal in the postsea-son, spent the week avenging apair of home losses to theRebels and the Indians.Maryville defeated the Ads 1-0to claim the regular-season

championship and automaticregional berth. Kingsport-Dobyns Bennett downedFarragut 3-0 in Knox County.

“We haven’t been scored on inthe playoffs and the good thingis that we were able to avengetwo of our losses on our homefield.

“We lost those games at homeand that was embarrassing.”

Farragut’s other loss came atthe Palmetto Cup in SouthCarolina.

In Saturday’s match theAdmirals took a 1-0 lead whensenior Emilio Moore scored on apenalty kick. The goal was setup when Dobyns-Bennett’s ZackFeathers fouled Marvin Mendyon a challenge for the ballinside the goal box.

Farragut, which improved to18-3, needed its defense to stepup because senior goalkeeperGus Green couldn’t play.

“I’ve been having flu-likesymptoms and I think it’s prettymuch passed, but my whole bodyhas been aching,” Green said.“My defense didn’t let up.

“They knew that I was sick and

I have to give it to my defense.”Admirals’ head coach Wallie

Culbreth said that his defensewas key to the victory.

“The defense really playedwell,” Culbreth said. “They knewthat Gus wasn’t feeling well and

they real-ly steppedup andt h a t

shows you just what kind of teamthis is.

“Gus faced one shot.”Green was injured in

Farragut’s recent victory overCatholic. He was lifted after aviolent collision and started thatgame despite the illness and saidhe wasn’t quite feeling up to par.

Farragut took advantage ofbeing a man up in the second

half, with the disqualification ofOak Ridge’s Ryan Byrd with 16:18left in the first half.

The Admirals, District 4-AAATournament champs, finally goton the board when MarvinMendy scored in the 61st minuteoff a pass from freshman DamiOmitaomu. “Dami gave me agreat ball,” Mendy said. “Thatwas a really big goal because wereally didn’t play all that well inthe first half.”

Farragut picked up anothermarker in the 67th minute whenMendy passed the ball to KaiMiettinen, who promptly bangedinto the back of the Oak Ridgenet. “It feels great to get this far,”Miettinen said. “Marvin sent theball through and I was able to getit into the net.”

Mendy said. Moore, who has battled recent

injuries, scored on the set play inthe eighth minute.

Culbreth said that the call wascorrect.

“It’s always unfortunate whenyou get a penalty kick in a tour-nament game but the foul wasthere and the call was the rightcall,” he said.

Moore’s marker was the onlygoal of the first half.

The Indians showed signs oflife in the second half andmissed several scoring opportu-nities as senior goalkeeper GusGreen, a first-year soccer player,made several dazzling plays overthe final 10 minutes.

“That was insane,” Green saidof the frantic pace in the last 10minutes. “We were just kind ofplaying a regular game.”

Green added that he learnedfrom the first meeting withKingsport Dobyns-Bennett,which said good-bye to 13 gradu-ating seniors.

“I learned that they had somereally fast forwards,” Green saidof the Indians. “I learned that Iwas going to have to get up in thebox and not give up those easyshots.”

Green had some stellar saveslate, including one when heflicked a sure goal out of anempty net with 4 minutes, 27 sec-onds remaining in the game.

Mendy overcame a pulledgroin to seal Farragut’s win witha goal in the 80th minute.

Hey la,hey la

my boyfriend’s back

comebacks this season, didn’thave one more against the LadyEagles (41-6-1).

F a r r a -gut, whichf i n i s h e dthe sea-

son 30-12, mounted a threat inthe top of the first inning whenjunior center fielder AveryBlankenburg doubled with oneout. Blankenburg was strandedat second as Lady Eagles’ senior

right hander Carly Lewis record-ed the final two outs of theinning when she fanned ShelbyMiller and got Mary Claire Coyneto pop up to first.

Lewis, who notched her 21stshutout of the season (andfourth in the playoffs), escapedthe first and went on to retirethe next six Lady Admirals andrecord five strikeouts over thenext two innings.

“She did a good job keeping usoff-balance,” said Blankenburg,who had the only two Farraguthits off of Lewis.


Listening to excited Maryvillegoalkeeper Ryan Jorgensen afterhis performance against HardinValley Academy, it was more thangood guesses when explaininghow he blocked three of four HVAshootout “penalty kicks.”

“I’ve got my own little theory,

but I can’t say,” Jorgensen saidafter his Rebels outlasted theHawks 3-1 in a “pk” shootout fol-lowing a 110-minute 1-1 tie todecide this Region 2-AAA tourneysemifinal at HVA Tuesday, May 14.

Jorgensen got the game intopk’s after his fingertip divingstop of an Ethan Haskell header,apparently headed into the net,midway into the second 10-

minute overtime. Hardin Valley was inches away

from victory midway through thefirst five-m i n u t es u d d e n -d e a t h

overtime. Cameron Schneider’swell-timed pass into the box toLogan Kington was quicklypassed right to a cutting, and

open, Jeff Lohman. However,Kington’s pass was just barelybeyond Lohman, who would havehad a short, open toe-tapattempt to win the game.

Hawks goalkeeper Ivan Torres,who according to HVA headcoach Mike McLean played onlyhis second game of the season ingoal, came up big. “He did agreat job,” said McLean, whose

team ends the season 8-6-4.Down 1-0 at halftime, HVA tied

it in the 63rd minute. SeanRyan’s pass into the box washeaded into the net by Lohmanfrom eight yards out.

“Our boys, when we have toplay we step up and play. You’veseen that through the districttournament,” Hawks senior for-ward Chris Gallaher said.

inning, “My arm was a little tired,and I think it did help me a littlebit,” Raby said. “I went out theretrying to keep a loose arm, and Iwas pounding the zone.”

Buckner said Raby “bailed usout, did a great job. I’m reallyproud of him.”

The Ads (32-8) went up forgood with a four-run fourthinning that included junior sec-ond baseman Sam Schulze’s RBIsingle — which followed his sec-ond inning two-RBI double —plus an RBI single from freshmanthird baseman Duncan Pence.

Pence also came throughdefensively with a diving catch ofa line drive in the Smoky Bears’

fourth inning. “Pence was greatat third base,” Buckner said.

Chase Chambers, junior firstbaseman, provided late-inninginsurance after ripping an RBIdouble off the right-centerfieldfence in the sixth inning.Chambers scored on senior BrettHagenow’s RBI single. SeniorCameron “Jammer” Stricklandsingled to lead off the sixth and

scored on Chamber’s double.Hagenow began the four-run

Admirals outburst in the fourthwith a single. After a walk andhit batter came RBI sacrificeflies from Strickland and seniorshortstop Nick Senzel.

Senior Anthony El-Chibanialso singled for the Admirals.

In addition to scoring one run,senior Alex Schuettler's throw

home from left field to Hagenowgunned down Smoky Bear DaltonFord following a two-out singlewith runners at first and second.

“We played great defense, forthe most part,” Buckner said.

Farragut pinch-runner GabeWaldrop scored two runs.

About Serrano, Buckner said,“He's just in a bad rhythm ...we're going to get him fixed.”
