Much Farragut flavor to Songwriters Showcase■ TAMMY CHEEK [email protected]

A sold-out crowd portrayed the energy of this year’s Songwriters Showcase, hosted by Town of Far-ragut’s Visit Farragut program in Farragut Community Center’s Assembly Hall, 239 Jamestowne Blvd., Saturday night, Feb. 29.

The performance included Far-ragut area students from Knox-ville’s School of Rock: Sam Bro-phy, a vocalist, is a Hardin Valley

Academy freshman; Ethan Frank-lin, on keyboards, is a Bearden High School junior; Lila Satter-field, guitarist, is a sophomore at Knoxville Catholic High School; and Logan Franklin, guitarist, a seventh-grader at West Valley Middle School

They warmed up the audience for headline singers/songwriters Dave Landeo, Jason Ellis and J. Luke Cochran.

Meanwhile, Water Into Wine bistro & lounge served up hors

d’oeuvres as people entered thecenter.

“It’s pretty impressive. We’re here to hear J. Luke and the restof the guys,” Farragut residentKevin Jardet said.

“I think it’s great to get thismuch entertainment in the com-munity like this,” Bill McManus ofFarragut said. “Who needs Nash-ville?”

■ MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD [email protected] Wood was delighted

last Thursday, Feb. 27, when Far-ragut’s new Community Center offered its very first program, Tod-dler Open Gym.

“This is wonderful,” she said while keeping an eye on her daughter, Rosie, who was playing among the gym’s myriad interac-tive toys. “It is so close and so in-expensive,” she added about the $2 per session program cost.

“When I saw they were going to have this Community Center I thought, ‘Oh, please, have some-thing for little kids,’ and I’m so glad they have this.

“It is a great opportunity for little friends to meet up and play, and for parents to meet up, too, and hopefully it can become a playdate every week.”

“There really aren’t many infant things for kids to do anywhere,” said Kim Pomichter, who brought daughter, Giselle. “This is really good — it’s awesome.”

The program was developedby Parks & Athletics coordinatorLauren Cox and Special Event and Program coordinator Brit-tany Spencer.

“We have a lot of adult stuff, andfor school age, but didn’t have any-thing special for toddlers,” saidSpencer, “very pleased” with the first day’s turnout of about 20.

“We didn’t have any pre-regis-tration, so this is wonderful,” shealso said while watching parents

■ MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD [email protected]’s Board of Mayor and

Aldermen looked back on a ban-ner year, and ahead to what 2020 and beyond may hold during a several hour strategic planning retreat Friday, Feb. 21 in the new Farragut Community Center.

Mayor Ron Williams., along with Vice Mayor Louise Povlin, and Al-dermen Ron Pinchok, Drew Bur-nette and Scott Meyer submitted in advance to Town administrator David Smoak their ideas on what they saw as the Town’s top ac-complishments over the last year, along with goals and other focus areas they would like to see in the coming year.

Looking ahead, Williams noted some of his top priorities include expanding the Outlet Drive En-tertainment Corridor around Top Golf, which should break ground

later this year along with devel-oping a Town Center District — perhaps at the Old Kroger site, or former Farragut Mayor Eddy Ford’s property; the planned $8 million expansion at McFee Park; the Campbell Station Inn Plaza, due for completion this summer; and planned reconstruction of Virtue Road, which, when com-pleted, would eliminate its preva-lent flooding issues.

“The Plaza will be a great addi-tion to our parks,” Williams said. “But as far as the house itself, I think we are between a rock and a hard place.”

It has not yet been determined what will be the best use for the historic Campbell Station Inn, which dates back to the early-to-mid 1800s. The Town bought the house and surrounding land al-most a decade ago, and it has un-

■ MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD [email protected] Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen held a special-called

meeting Tuesday, March 3, to consider a resolution supporting bills sponsored by state Rep. Jason Zachary (R-District 14, HB 2150) and state Sen. Dr. Richard Briggs (R-District 7, SB 2133) specifically ad-dressing small cell tower placement.

Both bills were introduced earlier this year as caption bills. Town administrator David Smoak and Town staff worked with Town attorney Tom Hale on wording the amendments to mesh with the state law, in-tended to improve the Town’s ability to regulate small cell towers.

When Zachary contacted Town officials Monday, March 2, to let them know the bills were to be considered Wednesday, March 4, a resolution was prepared and the Town’s emergency meeting was scheduled.

KCSOpolicereports• At 10:51 a.m., Monday, March 2, a Knox County Sheriff’s Office

unit was dispatched to an Oakley Downs Road residence on threats through electronic communication. Victim/complainant said his life was being threatened by the suspect through text messages. Victim said the suspect works for a collection agency and has called 15 to 20 times since Thursday, Feb. 20, concerning a debt. Victim said the sus-pect had sent several messages stating he will be going to the victim’s residence to collect the debt.

• At 2:52 a.m., Sunday, March 1, a KCSO unit responded to a call of an assault at Cotton Eyed Joe, 11220 Outlet Drive. Victim said that while in the parking lot of the business she was assaulted by the suspect. Saying suspect was an acquaintance, victim also said she and the suspect were involved in an argument before he punched her in the mouth, knocking her to the ground. At that time three other male victims tried to restrain suspect and also were assaulted. Victims said suspect then fled the scene in a green SUV. All victims displayed signs of physical assault including lacerations and bruises to the face as well one of the male suspects having two teeth knocked out. All victims re-fused medical treatment on scene, saying they would drive themselves to the hospital.

• At 6:01 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 26, a KCSO unit responded to a Valencia Pointe residence on a domestic matter. Victim said he and his ex-girlfriend were in an argument that escalated. Victim said eventual arrestee was paranoid about what messages were on victim’s smartphone. Arrestee tried to take phone from victim’s hand, then struck victim in the mouth, causing a laceration. Arrestee admitted things got physical, but she said was pushed in the chest, causing her to flail her hands striking the victim by accident. Arrestee was trans-ported to Roger D. Wilson Detention Facility.

So I have had multiple people ask for more in-formation about knee pain before moving on to the next topic. Despite last week originally being the

last of the series- I have de-cided to extend the knee pain series out for this week and next. So for this week we are making the knee pain guide report available again. THIS REPORT is for the person who is suffering from the torment of daily, annoying, chronic knee pain.

The type of “ache” and “sharp pain” where you get so

nauseated that you feel your only option is to stop what you’re doing completely, reach for the pain medication, slapping on the knee brace and won-der just how long you’ll need to rest before the pain starts to subside again!!

The thing is, all those pain pills are not good for your stomach - and the long periods of rest you’ve been told about, isn’t likely to be doing you much good either.

Over the last 13 years I’ve been working on a daily basis to help people aged 45+ fi nd relief from chronic knee pain - and what I can tell you is the cocktail mix of more rest and more pain pills will do absolutely nothing to get to the root cause of most types of chronic knee pain...No matter what most GP’s say!

And it’s because I’m growing increasingly frus-trated with the number of people suffering unnec-essarily that I’ve written a 12 page report that de-tails the 8 things any person can do to relieve knee pain naturally… and I want to send you this report at no charge.

Now, I don’t know if these 8 things will relieve you of your knee pain completely.

And I can’t promise that what has worked for most of my patients and clients over the last 13 years, will work for you.

However, reading my free report is sure better than spending another day “resting”, “accepting it”, thinking “it’s your age” or worse yet, masking it with pain medication.

If your recurring knee pain is affecting your job, your ability to keep active, threatens your indepen-

dence or hinders your family leisure time… then you really need to read my free report.

I want you to imagine how life will be in fi ve years from now if you DON”T get a grip on your knee pain now. How will your knee pain affect your job? Your preservation of self worth and your inde-pendence? Will you be a fun person to be with? Or, live with? Ok, you get my drift…

It’s time to request my free tips report… by calling or texting this free phone number now: 865-351-0615 or, if you want the report right now, please visit www.simplypt.com/health-tips/knee-pain and you can download it instantly.

P.S. There are just 7 free copies available of this valuable report (worth $38)... so please call NOW to get yours, and when you do, you will breathe a sigh of relief once you realize how easy (and cost free) it is to fi nally fi nd out what is actually causing your knee pain - and all without needing to rely upon pain medication or another day of rest! Call free: 865-351-0615, or visit www.simplypt.com/health-tips/knee-pain

Sincerely, John-Mark

The author, John-Mark Chesney, is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and owner of Simply Physio. He’s happy to answer any questions about knee pain by phone or text at (865) 351-0615 or by email at [email protected]

townoffarraguteventsTo ‘broaden his experience,’Tupper new No. 2 engineer■ TAMMY CHEEK [email protected]

The Town of Farragut has hired Brannon Tupper as assistant Town engineer.

Tupper came on board Feb. 4 to start his new duties.

“ B r a n -non comes to us by way of Bechtel National, a major inter-national con-s t r u c t i o n /engineering company,” Town engineer Darryl Smith said.

“With several years of contract management experience at Bech-tel, we knew he’d be a terrific fit

with all of our upcoming capital projects.

“Plus, Brannon has a desire to broaden his experience with a variety of engineering tasks, and Farragut’s the perfect place to do that,” Smith added.

“I fell in love with the area,” said Tupper, a Roane County resi-dent. “I have a house on Watts Bar Lake in Roane County, so I’d like to be here long term.”

Tupper’s credentials include a Bachelor of Science degree in civ-il engineering from the University of Kentucky, a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of South Carolina and 11 years with Bechtel.

He is a registered professional engineer who specialized in con-struction and contract manage-ment at Bechtel.

RetreatFrom page 1A

even though she is not running for reelection this year.

Meyer, who was unable to at-tend the retreat, listed several priorities he would like to see, including the upcoming national volleyball tournament that he worked to bring to Town, along with “refinement of current tour-ism activities to focus on sports

tourism,” and hopes for “an im-pactful town 40th anniversary celebration.”

In the coming year, Pinchok — long a parks proponent — said he would like to see the Town “mar-keted more,” and a retention plan be considered to “maintain our great staff.”

He also noted McFee Park’s ex-

pansion, along with completion of the Town’s new sign ordinance and updating its Comprehensive Land Use Plan. (The latter two were discussed during the Feb. 20 regular monthly FMPC meeting.)

Burnette mentioned he would like to see plans for “additional rectangular ball fields,” suggest-ing one existing baseball field be

converted,” and also mentioned, in the future, he would like to see consideration given to buildingan all-inclusive playground.

“They bring kids, all kids (incl-cuding those disabled) togetherto play, when a lot of times, those groups are separated. I think An-chor Park would be a fantasticplace for it.”

On behalf of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, I am writing regarding 5G. Recently, a flyer was distributed to the Sweet Briar residents regarding proposed 5G small cell tower deployment in Sweet Briar. There was an egregious misrepresentation of the facts in this flyer.

The Town of Farragut, through its elected repre-sentatives, Planning Commissioners and staff, HAS NOT worked with Verizon to “target” our neighbor-hoods for deployment of 5G small cell antennas. Further, we have worked hard to educate the residents of Farragut about the constraints placed on local governments with regard to small cell implementation and to inform them that Verizon was beginning to pursue 5G deployment in our residential areas.

To be clear, the Board, the Planning Commission-ers and Town staff are incredibly frustrated that both state and federal laws completely undermine our ability to regulate small cell deployment to protect our residential areas. The Planning Com-missioners approved four applications in residen-tial areas in January because they have literally no choice. State and federal laws give the cell companies the authority to act as a public utility, and therefore the ability to access any public right- of-way.

Had the Town voted the applications down, the Town would be in direct violation of state and fed-eral laws. We literally have no authority to stop this – none. Voting the applications down would simply expose the town to litigation we cannot win.

For the writer of this flyer, who hid behind anonymity, to distort the facts in such a manner to inflame Sweet Briar residents was manipulative and divisive. If ever there was a time for our com-munity to be working together, residents, elected officials and Town staff, it is now.

There is much background to understand so that

our collective energies can be focused on the best opportunities to explore going forward. For those interested in attending meetings and speaking during public forum, or writing letters to the editor, please be informed. We’re well past the time for discussing this amongst ourselves. We need con-structive paths to pursue, and they will require all hands on deck, if we have any chance of our efforts being effective.

To better understand the issues we’re fac-ing, the following documents can help with your understanding; a Google search should bring these various documents up: The Municipal Technical Advisory Service (mtas.tennessee.edu) provides a good report on Tennessee’s small cell legislation (Competitive Wireless Broadband Investment, Deployment, and Safety Act of 2018).

The Federal Communications Commission Rule 18-133 (Accelerating Wireless Broadband Deploy-ment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure In-vestment) governs deployment of small cells from a federal level. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 empowers the FCC to preempt local governing authority over many aspects of the implementation of 5G. Montgomery County, Maryland has filed a lawsuit against the FCC in an effort to force them to update their radiofrequency emission exposure standards.

The case is in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, case number 19-70147. Recently, the FCC promul-gated Rule 19-126 with regard to human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic waves.

Finally, Dianne Feinstein has introduced the Restoring Local Control over Public Infrastructure Act 2019 in the (U.S.) Senate in June of 2019, although it doesn’t appear to have gone anywhere.

As a graduate student at In-diana University who knew the school president, Scott Meyer turned out to be a big asset to Vice President Dan Quayle and First Lady Marilyn Quayle in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The IU president “would loan me out to the Quayles, that’s how I learned how to throw a good party,” said Farragut Al-derman Meyer, who represents North Ward. “… I learned how to organize receptions. … the food and the bands.”

Having met the former VP, he would say “‘Thank you for your hard work, it’s a great recep-tion, we appreciate you,’” Meyer recalled.

“And to shake hands with ambassadors of Southeast Asian countries was, for me at that time, overwhelming,” he added.

Growing up in a suburb of Indianapolis, Meyer moved to Knox County in 1997 “as a single man.”

“I knew the day that I arrived that this is where I was going to live for the rest of my life,” he added, “Because of the people; because of the culture and the history and the community that I found.

“I went to a church right away and found a great body of believers who are still friends of mine to this day. I just felt a greater sense of belonging, oddly enough, here in Knox (County) than I did where I grew up.”

Though saying Indiana “is great,” Meyer added, “For me the informal lifestyle, the mountains, the people and the willingness to accept folks from different backgrounds” who “let you be an important member of the community was just overwhelming.

“It was very evident to me that this was really my home-town. … The culture of Appa-lachia was just a fit for my soul in a lot of ways. Just kind, good people in East Tennessee.”

Having earned a master’s degree in health administra-tion at IU, Meyer’s background includes “working at the Yale School of Medicine” in Con-necticut “and the hospital system up in Cleveland.”

Also earning a master’s in accountancy at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, “Now I’m a (certified public accountant)” working with Summit Medical

Group “as executive director of value-based care operations … with about 70 employees; registered nurses, social work-ers, LPNs,” Meyer said. “… It’s our job to support physicians to help them be successful” in their support of patients.

“I’m very blessed; Summit is a phenomenal employer. I have a great staff who are innovative,” he added. “I’ve always worked in the health care industry.” As for life in Town, ”My wife and kids and I moved to Farragut seven years ago,” Meyer said about wife, Melissa, and chil-dren, Emma and Sophie.

■ ALAN SLOAN [email protected] necessarily intending to

move to Farragut after being a Knoxville resident for more than 15 years, “We just happened to land in a house in Fox Run subdi-vision … seven years ago,” said Farragut North Ward Alderman Scott Meyer, a native of metro Indianapolis.

His health care industry work brought him to Knoxville in 1997.

“When we moved in, the subdi-vision was extremely welcoming. We got involved right away. … We just became connected with our neighbors,” Meyer said.

Already blown away with the Southern hospitality of Knox County before moving to Town (see Profile on this page), “I was even more overwhelmed by the community we experienced at Fox Run,” he added. “I so much wanted to be a part of the (homeowners association) at Fox Run. I’ve just been reminded, over and over, that Farragut is my new hometown.

“Fox Run is not unique — all of our subdivisions have a flavor of that. We have great HOA boards. … Very concerned citizens who contribute to their HOAs.”

As an aldermen since being elected, unopposed, in his first bid for elected office in 2018, Meyer said “he has an obliga-tion” to hear from any and all HOAs and other citizen groups — especially given his own experience.

The combination of hospitality and his work on behalf of Fox Run HOA led him to pursue involvement with Town govern-ment, he said, which began with his service on Farragut’s Board of Zoning Appeals, where he remains.

In fact “(Farragut Vice Mayor) Louise Povlin lives two doors down from me,” Meyer said. “She would be giving me gardening advice, constantly.

“… Louise’s passion for Far-ragut is contagious,” he added. “There was many a night we’d stand there at the cul-de-sac and we’d talk. Just the idea and the history of Farragut resonates with my history as a person.”

As a leader with his Fox Run HOA, “I got an opportunity to get involved civically by leading

a grassroots effort to voice our concern about a grocery store and, like, a shopping center (pro-posed) across the entrance from Fox Run,” Meyer said, though adding, “I didn’t know anything about fighting a development I didn’t believe was good for my property value and for my kids.

“That was the first time I had ever done anything civically where I was out educating my neighbors on Farragut zoning ordinances,” he added.

Specifically, “I organized a pe-tition and I went door-to-door for about two months, and worked with (Town) staff,” Meyer said.

As opposed to resenting the Town for its consideration of this unwanted center, “At that time it really solidified my love for the Town,” he said. “Because in Farragut, unlike in Knoxville, if you’re a resident and there’s something you don’t like, you will be heard,” Meyer added. “You do have a voice.

“If you are polite and kind, and you work with the staff, you can be ever more heard, and you can state your case.”

Going to Town Hall, “I would go to (Farragut Municipal) Planning Commission meetings; I’ve stood up in front of (Board of Mayor and Aldermen) several times and said the layout of the property did not meet setback requirements.

“Town staff actually agreed.” Despite some early “very

overwhelming” struggles where Meyer admitted he felt like “‘we can’t fight this,’” in the end “we won. … About 30 percent of all the homes responded to our petition. … Of that sample, 85 percent said absolutely no (to the center).”

Moreover, “We had a great compromise with the developer, and the developer opted to put a little pocket park between Fox Run and the grocery store (site), and that would not have hap-pened had the folks of Fox Run not spoken.”

In doing this, Meyer said it was symbolic of what the Town Founders did in 1979 into early 1980 — though admitting their Fox Run issue didn’t come close to comparing in scale, time and degree of difficulty versus what Farragut Community Group did to incorporate a town.

Still, “I identify with them …

it is a sacrifice to put yourself out there and to educate yourself to stand for something,” Meyer said.

“If I can do it … you can still

make time to contribute to your hometown,” he added. “You don’t have to wait until you’re retired to contribute to the Town.”

The bottom line for Meyer: “I love what I do as an aldermen.”

Residents celebrated with an inaugural parade, music by Pas-tor Larry Trotter of Concord Unit-ed Methodist Church and friends, a pageant to choose the king and queen and New Orleans-style food, said Sandi Simpson, Vil-lages of Farragut resident event director.

Simpson credited Jack Sicard, chairman of the event committee and a former New Orleans resi-dent, for helping plan the party. Simpson said residents are plan-ning future parties, such as for St. Patrick’s Day and Kentucky Derby.

Tune Up, The Manly Salonreadying for April opening

■ MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD [email protected] cars need regular mainte-

nance to perfectly operate, the same standard certainly applies exponentially to people.

That’s the idea behind “Tune Up, The Manly Salon,” currently under construction at 10823 Har-din Valley Road by Farragut resi-dents Frank and Janette Saroka.

The building’s exterior has been completed, and concrete was poured last week, all in prep-aration for an anticipated April opening.

Janette describes the “one-of-a kind men’s salon” as “offering a fun and exciting atmosphere, where you can enjoy a compli-mentary beer or cocktail while being pampered by one of our highly trained stylists.

“We [will] offer services includ-ing men’s and kids haircuts, beard trims, manicures, pedicures, shoulder massages, straight razor shaves, facials and facial waxing.

“We offer a unique VIP program that allows for unlimited services each month,” she added, noting the salon will be staffed by highly trained barbers and stylists while she and her husband will be working more behind the scenes and in the community.

“Our commitment is to deliver great quality services for today’s modern man.”

The Sarokas, who have resid-ed in Farragut for 13 years with their children, Aiden and Savana, researched various concepts over the last 20 years before deciding on the Texas-based franchise.

Frank had long worked in the corporate world — the last 13 with Bush Brothers and Co. — allowing Janette the opportunity to stay home (she was Farragut Primary School’s mascot, Fin-ley the Dolphin, for three years among her volunteer efforts), but as their children grew older, they jointly decided on a self-imposed

deadline to start something of their own.

“On our 20th wedding anniver-sary, we decided it was time for Frank to come off the road, and pursue the next chapter of our lives,” Janette explained. “It has been a huge leap of faith.

Working with a consultant, they first considered, then eliminated starting a restaurant.

“We wanted something we both fell in love with,” Janette said.

Intrigued with the idea of a barbershop, they met the Tune Up franchise crew at an Atlanta Expo.

“They had a bar set up with a bartender serving beer on tap,” Janette recalled. “I thought, ‘What?!’ We sat down, watched the video they had playing, talk-ed to the franchise developers for Tune up, and enjoyed our ice cold beer.

“At that time, all their fran-chises were located in in Texas, except for one in Greenville, South Carolina,” she added.

“Within three days we were on our way to check out the salon, and the minute we walked in the doors, we knew it was the one.”

It will be Tennessee’s first Tune Up salon, and while the couple hoped to secure property in Farragut, they were excited to find the location in Hardin Val-ley.

“It’s just growing so much, and has so much potential,” Janette said. “We are just going to see what happens and may end up opening a second location down the line, especially as we see so many possible (location) oppor-tunities being built here in Far-ragut.”

Chronicling their progress on Facebook, “We can’t wait,” Ja-nette said.

Tourism coordinator Karen Tindal said. “… There’s lots of energy, lots of excitement, the tables are full,” adding the attendance was “more than we expected.”

Farragut’s Songwriter’s Show-case is one of 850 such events taking place this year as part of Tennessee Songwriters Show-case, started by Gov. Bill Haslam in 2018.

This year, Landeo, Ellis and Cochran teamed up to sing their original works. Landeo already has had a presence in Farragut, having performed several times, most recently for the Town’s Lawn Chair Concert Series in Au-gust 2019.

“It was a wonderful experi-ence,” he recalled. “It’s no sur-prise (the Lawn Chair Series) won an award. The organizers did a wonderful job bringing original music to the community from the state.”

Landeo has been performing

professionally in the East Tennes-see area for about 26 years. Now living in Charleston, South Caro-lina, he graduated from the Uni-versity of Tennessee, where he started playing more profession-ally in a fraternity band, which he said eventually led to his be-coming a full-time solo guitarist/singer in the 1990s.

While still in Knoxville, Landeo received the Metro Pulse Best Vo-calist of the Year award for three years and Best Bass Player honor in the early 1990s by WIMZ. Ad-ditionally, he has had songs play on local radio and TV shows, and currently is recording an album.

When Landeo got Tindal’s call to perform for the Songwriter’s Showcase, Tindal said, “Dave signed on immediately.”

Then he called Ellis and Co-chran to join him.

“I didn’t even know this (event) existed until this year, (when Landeo asked him to perform),” said Cochran, an Oak Ridge na-tive who generally plays all types of music genre, from Johnny Cash

Spencer said more than 200 cards had been printed as of Thursday, Feb. 27. Program fees are $2 per session, with a cost-saving option to purchase a $30 punch card, allowing 20 visits.

“We set the open gym fees very low, and they can purchase a 20-visit pass that saves money,” added Park & Recreation direc-tor Sue Stuhl.

When he got the call from Landeo, the Church Hill native recalled, “I was excited to be a part of it.

Carter Mayfield, Farragut sophomore guard (14), looks to pass against stiff Clinton defense during Region 2-AAA quarterfinal action Saturday night, Feb. 29, at CHS. The Dragons used a 30-point third quarter to rally past the Admirals 73-63.

■ ALAN SLOAN [email protected] — When you win

75 percent of the game, yet the scoreboard at game’s end says you lost, it can be quite frustrating.

Especially when such a game ends your season.

“We won the first, second and fourth quarter by 12 points — but lost the third quarter by 22,” FHS head coach Jon Higgins said about giving up 30 points in the third frame — blowing a 10-point halftime lead — and losing 73-63 to the Clinton Dragons in the Region 2-AAA quarterfinals Sat-urday night, Feb. 29, at CHS.

With the Admirals ahead 31-21 at halftime thanks to a strong second quarter, “They came out (after halftime) and they jumped on us, and we weren’t prepared to match (their) intensity offen-sively and defensively,” said Hig-gins, whose District 4-AAA No. 3 seeded team finishes 17-17.

Building a 12-point second

quarter lead after trailing 9-8 following one frame, Farragut “defended so well in the first two quarters,” Higgins said.

Playing in his final Farragut game, senior guard Robby Geron — the Ads undisputed leader — scored a team-high 15 points.

“I thought Robby left it all out there, and that’s all I can ask,” Higgins said.

Geron, a 4-AAA regular season and tournament All-District hon-oree, was joined on the regular season All-District team by soph-omore Isaiah Smith, who scored 11 against Clinton..

Only becoming eligible ex-tremely late in the season, due to TSSAA transfer rules, 4-AAA All-Tournament selection Ryan Neal, sophomore guard, “has done a wonderful job. He’s practiced hard all year,” Higgins said. Neal scored 10 against Clinton (17-13).

Other FHS scorers: Zain Zitawi nine, Dillon Atwell eight, Jake Wallace five, Kaleb VanAcker four and Carter Mayfield a free throw.

■ KEN LAY CorrespondentKNOXVILLE — Bearden High

School’s girls basketball team had to withstand an early potential knockout punch from rival Far-ragut Monday night, March 3, in the Region 2-AAA semifinals.

The Lady Bulldogs, 4-AAA regu-lar season and tourney champs, fell behind by eight points in the first quarter, but rallied back to eliminate the Lady Ads with a 58-42 victory at BHS.

With the win, Bearden ad-vanced to host the region cham-pionship game against Maryville Wednesday, March 4 (after dead-line). The Lady Bulldogs (29-2)

also will advance to Saturday’s state sectionals with a chance to move on to Murfreesboro and the Class AAA State Tournament.

Farragut (23-10) opened a 10-3 lead and was clinging to a 15-9 ad-vantage by first quarter’s end.

“They came out and they punched us pretty hard,” Bearden head coach Justin Underwood said. “I knew they were going to come in here and play hard. They’re a great basketball team, and anytime you play a rival in an elimination game, it’s always go-ing to be hard.”

The Lady Bulldogs went on an 18-8 run in the second stanza, fi-nally getting their first lead when an Emily Gonzalez basket made it

25-23. Zneyah McLaughlin madea bucket as time expired, pushing the BHS edge to four at halftime.

Bearden got a huge game from freshman post player Av-ery Treadwell, who came off thebench to score a game-high 17 points. McLaughlin had 14 points for the Lady Bulldogs.

Sophomore Avery “Ace” Strick-land scored 15 points for Far-ragut, while senior Claire Wyatt added 10 in her final FHS game.

“Our girls did everything weasked of them early,” Farragut head coach Jason Mayfield said.“But we just couldn’t keep themoff the offensive boards.”

Shutting down 3-pt. queen, FHS girls advance

■ KEN LAY CorrespondentKNOXVILLE — The defend-

ing Division II-A state champs, Webb School of Knoxville, will be joined at Lipscomb University in Nashville for this weekend’s state “final four” by Mike Hutchens’ Knoxville Catholic Fighting Irish at the Division II-AA level.

Ricky Norris’ homestanding Spartans (27-6) beat Webb Bell Buckle 70-61 Saturday Feb. 29.

Meanwhile, Handje Tamba

scored just four points for the Knoxville Catholic High School boys basketball team Saturday night.

However, his offense couldn’t have come at a better time for the Irish.

Tamba, Catholic’s sophomore forward, was neutralized and saddled with foul trouble. But his back-to-back dunks early in the fourth quarter brought down the house and set the tone for a 66-58 Irish victory over Ensworth in the State VIII round of the Division

II-AA playoffs at KCHS.“What we got from (Tamba)

was huge and it was a real game-changer,” said Hutchens, Catholic head coach, after the sophomore’s second slam gave KCHS a 54-44 lead with 4:41 left.

Next stop for the Irish (23-4) is Friday’s state semifinals at Lip-scomb’s Allen Arena versus Chris-tian Brothers at 5:45 p.m. (EST).

Catholic’s other big man, senior Akeem Odusipe, had 14 points, eight rebounds and five blocks despite foul problems.

Sophomore point guard B.J. Edwards carried the Irish to vic-tory with a game-high 28 points to go with eight rebounds.

“This feels great, and it’s just a blessing to be going to the state,” said Edwards, a Mr. Basketball fi-nalist. “We all remember how we felt after Oak Ridge (season-end-ing loss) last year and we didn’t want to feel like that again.

The see-saw battle with the Ti-gers (21-8) continued throughout the first half, but Sam Sompayrac gave Catholic a 33-29 halftime ad-

vantage when he buried a 3-point-er in the closing seconds.

Sompayrac also pulled downsome key rebounds, took a pivotalcharge in the third quarter andmade four clutch free throws withthe game’s outcome hanging inthe balance.

“Sam is playing really well forus right now. He could start onany other team in Knoxville,”Hutchens said.

Freshman Blue Cain scoredeight points for the Irish, while Presley Patterson had five.

■ ALAN SLOAN [email protected] — Facing a team

on its homecourt with only three losses, which featured the state’s all-time leading three-point shooter — while your team’s top three scorers all got into foul trouble early in the third quarter — seemed like a prescription for Farragut’s girls to “pack its bags” in season-ending defeat.

Nonsense. Saying “our best five

is better than their best five,” Admirals skipper Jason Mayfield proved it with free throws and defense, holding Powell’s all-time three-point ace Bailey Trumm without a three-point field goal — allowing her just two points.

While Lady Ads leading scorer Claire Wyatt pumped in a game-high 24 points, she went a perfect 15-of-15 from the free throw line, as No. 3 seed Farragut (23-9) was 22-of-25 from the stripe in a domi-nant 52-37 Region 2-AAA quarter-

final win at PHS Friday, Feb. 27.While praising his team’s over-

all defense, “Macy Barnes andAshlyn Sheridan did a fantasticjob on (Bailey) Trumm, and that’sthe leading TSSAA three-pointshooter in history,” Lady Admirals skipper Jason Mayfield said.

Sophomore guard Keeleigh Rogers scored 10 points for FHS.“Ace” Strickland added five, Mad-ison Hodge and Barnes four each, McCall Willis three points andSheridan scored two.

Quilts of Valor for pair of Farragut veterans■ MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD [email protected]

Two Farragut veterans recently were sur-prised with special quilts honoring them and their military service.

Kathy Ivey and Danny Waller each received a “Quilt of Valor,” which was presented to them by Loudon County resident Andrew Lee, a former veteran who quilts and also works on behalf of the organization.

Lee repeatedly has shared his past strug-gles with post traumatic stress disorder and how he experienced healing through quilt-ing, which also was a gateway into Quilts of Valor, a national non-profit organization founded 17 years ago by Catherine Roberts, whose son was deployed to Iraq.

“She dreamed he was in a bed, wrapped in

one of her quilts,” Lee said. Under the mission statement “to cover

all combat service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor,” the organization has pre-sented more than 200,000 hand-made quilts to veterans. Lee has made 40 quilts.

“There are two ways a Quilt of Valor can be given,” Lee said. “Someone can nominate you to receive one, or if I know someone I can make one and present it.”

Lee had made the quilt he presented to Ivey during a recent Knox Area Quilting Friends meeting. “I was so surprised I almost cried,” said Ivey, a U.S. Army veteran.

Sharing about Missionsat Christ Covenant

members and their families heard first-hand about the lives and work of church-supported missionaries across the globe during its annual Missions Con-ference 2020.

More than 20 individuals and representatives of missionary groups, serving on all continents, shared with church members insights into their work to go “preach the gospel,” CCC Busi-nessAadministrator and Missions director Paul “Andy” Halbert said.

The event started with a men’s breakfast Friday, Feb. 21, con-tinuing with a missionary panel discussion Saturday, Feb. 22 and ending with worship services, women’s luncheon and a banquet Sunday, Feb. 23.

“We had about 200 attend the Friday banquet,” Halbert said, adding about 60 attended the men’s breakfast, and about 100 attended the women’s luncheon.

The conference also included a Sunday morning worship service.The Rev. John Sartelle Sr. spoke at the service and the banquet.

“Some (of the missionaries) are members of our church,” he

said. “Of that group, five of those were either members or children of members who are serving in various places around the world.”

Halbert said the church has been holding the conference since 1997.

“It’s a missions weekend, so it focuses on the command to go preach the gospel,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for us to see what (the ministry of) those people that we’re helping financially is like, what their life is like.

“We may not see them for two or three years, so it’s a great

ty of Tennessee scientist Dr. Vasil-eios Maroulas and his 10-person team from UT’s Department of Mathematics are finding creative ways to identify potential leaders in the armed forces and beyond.

Along with his work at UT, Ma-roulas also is a senior research fellow at the U.S. Army Research Lab in Aberdeen, Maryland.

“I’m working with the U.S. Army Research Lab, and my work is funded by the U.S. Army Research Office,” he said. “We’re trying to identify and classify brain waves,” which, he said, are collected by subjects wearing an EEG helmet.

“That (helmet) records how they think and what kind of de-cision making they’re doing on the fly,” Maroulas added. “We try

to identify the accurate decisionmakers under very stressful envi-ronments.

“So, you can imagine these kind of things have an immediate im-pact for the Army, in battlefields and things like that.”

Maroulas said the challenge is“because we collect all this com-plex data and we try to analyzethis complex data, we cannot justdo it with formula data analysismethods, or ‘black box’ meth-ods.”

Instead, his team has to re-invent new approaches “so thatwe deliver back to the Army andidentify the decision makers.”

Along with brain waves, the team also uses psychological datafrom measuring the heart rate and “eye-tracking videos.”

Maroulas said the data also canbe used, for example, in chem-istry, material science and even sports.

opportunity for people to get ac-quainted or re-acquainted.”

The spectrum of missionaries ranges from those preparing for mission work to those who have been in it for years, Halbert said.

“Our missionary families have to raise their own financial sup-

port” and they go through train-ing, he added.

Halbert heard attendees make such comments as:

• “We’ve never been to anything like this. It was wonderful. Thank you for inviting us.” • “Most of our churches no longer do missions conferences. Keep it up. It’s so important for

the church and for encouraging the missionaries.”• “You all put on a wonderful missions conference. We love coming.”• “We felt unusually connected and cared for by the people of Christ Covenant. It is really encouraging.”

“Some of these people go places

that are very difficult, they raise their kids there, they live there as best they can, they immerse themselves in that culture,” Hal-bert said.

“Just coming home for a short period of time, coming back to the U.S. and interacting with people here, is a huge encouragement to them.”

Halbert said he learned, more

this year than any other, that “thepeople at Christ Covenant do, indeed, recognize that there is aBiblical mandate to go into all theworld and preach the gospel, and they love and respect the peoplewho are going.

“In the end, we say we are chal-lenging our people to three things:to pray, give and go (preach thegospel),” he added.
