Tom Hale, attorney for town ofFarragut, is one of four attorneysstatewide chosen last month byGov. Bill Haslam to become a“Special Supreme Court” justice.

With four of Tennessee StateSupreme Court’s five justicesrecusing themselves in the caseof Hooker et al v. Lt. Governor

Ramsey et al, Hale will join attor-neys from Memphis, Nashvilleand Chattanooga, plus TSSCJustice Janice M. Holder to ren-der rulings.

The lawsuit is a challenge tohow justices have been evaluat-ed.

Hale, a commercial, litigation,transactional and municipalattorney for Kramer Rayson LLPfirm in downtown Knoxville, said

he and theother spe-cial justiceswere swornin Friday,June 27.

“I’ve beena little bit ata loss forwords. I waspretty sur-

prised,” Hale said. “It was kind of

pleasing. … I was honored to beasked. And apparently they havea need.”

However, “It’s going to be achallenge, I suspect, any timethe [Tennessee State] SupremeCourt recuses itself from hearinga matter,” said Hale, who addedhe’s never served as a judgebeyond being “a hearing examin-er for the City of Knoxville …early on in my career … a civil

service board that would hearemployee complaints.

“I’m looking forward to gettinginto it and learning what it’sabout.

“One of the parties [in thecase] has moved for the Court ofAppeals judges to recuse them-selves,” he added. “I think someof them did and some of them

Choto-Northshore roundabout contracted to finish Sept. 11■ ALAN SLOAN

[email protected]

With a prominent owner-developer of retail space label-ing the Choto Road-NorthshoreDrive area “the fastest growingsector in Knox County,” a newroundabout and retail area willchange the landscape.

John Huber, owner/developerof Markets at Choto, said the110-foot diameter roundabout atthe intersection of Choto-Northshore “really is the nextstep in improving the intersec-tion. … It will be a hugeimprovement for the area andsafety for the area.”

Low bidder, The Rogers Group,($599,715.88), is expected tobreak ground any day with aSept. 11 completion deadline.

To take advantage of suchimprovements, “We’ve got about50,000 square feet” at the north-east corner of Choto andNorthshore beside Weigel’s,Huber said.

“We are moving forward withplans to try to bring at least one,maybe two buildings out of theground in Markets at Choto in2014,” he added. “… We’ll breakground in 2014. I’d say they’ll beready in early 2015.”

As for maximum size, “We haveeight separate buildings plannedright now,” Huber said. “… All ofour buildings are 5,000 squarefeet. We’ve intentionally keptthem on a smaller scale. ... We’rereally trying to blend into theneighborhoods out here.”

Among those businesses andservices interested, “Currentlywe’re negotiating withRural/Metro to potentially buildone of the Rural/Metro fire hallsout here,” Huber said.“Hopefully, if it works out, wedon’t have it all finalized. But itlooks positive anyway.”

Looking ahead, “I’m surethey’ll be a nail salon. We’ve hada lot of discussion with restau-rants who want to locate outhere,” Huber said. “We’re justwaiting to find the right fit forthat. …. We’ve even had somediscussions with pharmacies andbistro-type grocers.”

As for roundabout construc-tion details, “Right now the utili-ties are all out of the way,” CindyPionke, director of planning anddevelopment for Knox CountyDepartment of Engineering andPublic Works, said. “We haveasked the contractor for a workschedule. If they don’t make the[Sept. 11] deadline, it’ll be $810

per day that they will be fined. “We had a crash problem at

the intersection,” Pionke added. Having used an overhead cau-

tion light at the intersectionwith a red light flashing forChoto Road drivers headingsouth toward Northshore (whomust stop and yield toNorthshore traffic) and a yellowlight flashing for Northshoretraffic, “People on Choto justassumed that the [lights] onNorthshore were also red, so weget a lot of T-bone accidents outthere. ... Lots of injuries,” Pionkesaid. Rendering of Markets at Choto.

“After the fourth day they legallybecome Young-Williams, and wetest them [for behavior] for ouradoption floor. If they go to theadoption floor they could be herefor months unless they get sick oraggressive. We have had cats herethree or four months waiting for anew home.

“We do urge the public tomicrochip their pets. … and alsohave a collar with information.More importantly is to keep theirinformation updated.”

Young-Williams also recom-mends “spaying and neuteringbecause if they’re in heat, or theysense a cat in heat, they’re more

likely to leave the property androam,” Johnston said.

Byrne said she’s taken “infor-mation from that Facebook pageabout the Northshore missingcats to try to create like a littlemap that’s going to show theselocations where all these catshave gone missing. To try to nar-row it down. … We’re also tryingto do pool reports of calls wherepeople have called the Sheriff’sOffice in that particular area.”

In addition, “Getting in touchwith Tennessee Wildlife [Re-sources Agency] to see if that wasa hot spot for coyote activity,”Byrne said. “I know down near

Hardin Valley we had big issueswith coyotes.”

However, “You do have the pos-sibility that somebody is purpose-ly doing something to the cats.”

Citing the case of NitaSmothers’ family finding her deadcat in a plastic bag in the woodsnear their Sugarwood subdivisionhome, Byrne said, “We’re stilllooking at that angle to try andget more information.”

Byrne said her department hasbeen working with Young-Williams “to find out, ‘has some-body been trapping cats in theseareas and having them picked upand taken to the shelter?’”

Coyotes, breeding season alternative missing cat theories■ ALAN SLOAN

[email protected]

How much of the missing catproblem in Farragut andConcord, which recently has hada bright media spotlight shoneon it, is criminal?

Frankie Byrne, Knox CountySheriff’s Office Animal Crueltyinvestigator, admits her cat,though “neutered andmicrochipped,” sometimes“jumps over the six-foot privacyfence” and off her property.

Amy Johnston, Director ofOutreach with Young-WilliamsAnimal Center, 3201 Division St.,off Sutherland Avenue, is aFarragut resident who warns notto leave you cats out at nightbecause “of an influx of coyotes.”

That warning is both profes-sional and residential. “We hearthem at night, we know they’rethere,” she added.

Coyotes, or cats simply takingoff on their own — especiallywhile in heat during summerbreeding season — are alterna-tive explanations from Byrne andJohnston for cats gone missing.

“A very small percentage” ofcats they come across haveeither a collar with identifica-tion or are microchipped,Johnston said.

Byrne said, “A lot of peopledon’t notice for a couple of daysthat their cat hasn’t come home.... When people start putting ittogether that no one has seen

the cat for a couple of days, itmay be another day or two beforethey get down to the shelter.”

However, Johnston said “Juneand July are two of our highestintake months” annually“because it’s kind of the tail endof the first breeding season.”

This year, ironically, “It’s prob-ably been a little bit less,” sheadded.

Johnston said she had noinformation to track whether onnot a higher percentage ofFarragut or Concord-Northshoreresidents had missing catinquiries at Young-Williams. Sherecommended an owner of amissing cat “come here at leastevery other day” to the center.

“We actually keep them forfour [days],” Johnston added.

opinionletterstotheeditorAdministrator targetedfor sign enforcement

Silo Cigars has been harassedby the Farragut administrationfor several months and now“King” David Smoak has finallybeen successful in forcing theowner to state that he will belooking for a new location out-side the town’s jurisdiction. Inthis case of selective sign ordi-nance enforcement, Silo Cigarshas been cited and fined forparking a truck on private prop-erty. Without the town’s repeat-ed harassing of this business, Iwould not have even noticed thetruck and I had to search to seewhere the truck was parked.However, not being cited areother business vehicles that may

be as “offensive” as the SiloCigars’ truck. The U-Haul trucksfor sale are displayed for monthson end, and I often see the FishWindow Washing truck and thePittsburg Paint truck parked forseveral hours during the day. Itseems to me that Mr. Smoak hasa personal vendetta against SiloCigars and is doing everything toget revenge.

Also, I see that there is goingto be a car wash replacing theold Chevron gas station onKingston Pike. This use of theproperty is commendable, butthe open concept of having vacu-ums and drying area facing theroad will be ugly. I do hope thatthe beautification committeerequires that this area be placed

in the side or the back of theproperty away from the road.There will need to be a “holding”area for cars entering the busi-ness. Many times the car washon Lovell Road has cars lined upback to the main entrance.Thank you.

A challenges to Redflex story quotes

I just finished reading the arti-cle on the Redflex traffic cameracontract and its potential renew-al or expiration.

According to Town TrafficEnforcement manager BenHarkins, the contract has been“real close to cost neutral.”

What does this mean? Doesthe program make money, if so,how much? If it’s costing thetown money, again how much?

One cost I bet Mr. Harkins has-n’t considered is the loss of rev-enue for local businesses fromthe many people like myself whoavoid doing business in Farragutdue to the omnipresent trafficcameras.

Among the many other vagueclaims Mr. Harkins makes is thatthe program is “focused on get-ting people to stop at red lights”versus making money, and then“it’s amazing the number of peo-ple I talk to who tell me that theyhave changed their habits asthey approach traffic lights.”

Well then, those two state-

ments tell me the program HASbeen successful, the peopleHAVE been educated, and there-fore should be allowed to expiresince it has done its job.

I urge the mayor and alder-men to let the Redflex contractexpire and do not renew this pro-gram. If this program is allowedto be renewed, it’s only a matterof time before there will be cam-eras on EVERY corner and onEVERY road.

There are enough vacantbuildings in Farragut as it is, butif Ben Harkins’ office shouldbecome vacant, I admit I won’tbe sorry.

• To everyone who thinks mari-juana should be legal inTennessee and the rest of theUnited States. Well, you need tothink again. New statistics arenow out that ever since Coloradohas legalized marijuana (andremember it’s legal for everybodynot just for people with glaucomaor on chemotherapy, those two Ido not have a problem with).Since it has been legalized inColorado, DUI arrests [inaudible]marijuana, not other drugs, notalcohol, have doubled. So we nowhave more impaired drivers onthe road in the state of Colorado.They are also picking up in thestates around Colorado more andmore people for drug possessionbecause they buy it in Colorado

and take it across state lines. Idon’t know what elected officialin Colorado thought this was agood idea but obviously they needtheir heads examined. They needbooted out of office.

• OK, let me see if I’ve got thisstraight, you are more than will-ing to run out so called undesir-able businesses out of town. Butyet we are worried about ourimage and we have a bar and aliquor store [with]in a stone’sthrow from out children. Not [to]mention, now we are talkingabout putting up a cell phonetower that has been known insome states to cause cancer.What kind of sense does any ofthat make?

• There is a certain irony to the

article about fireworks being ille-gal on page 1 and then on page 3a full-length advertisement for afireworks establishment.

• I got a kick out of the call tolast week’s presstalk where some-one was blaming the town ofFarragut’s ordinances for all theempty commercial space. Thisperson obviously has never con-nected the dots to understandhow big an impact Turkey Creekhas had on our Town’s businesscommunity — far greater thananything caused by any of theTown’s ordinances. However, itwas nice to know in the sameissue of the farragutpress therewas news of a local wine andliquor store expanding as well asa new French-themed market

coming to Farragut. Good newsindeed for our Town.

• Concerning the cell phonetower at Kingston Pike andCampbell Station Road, hey, I amglad to see one coming. I’m wait-ing for the improved coverage. Ican’t believe how people willsquawk about how they wantmore coverage, better coverage,but then run around cackling likea bunch of hens when they hearthere is going to be a tower intheir neighborhood. I supposethey think the cell phone fairycomes and puts up magical andinvisible cell towers that theynever have to look at.

• I too have been scammed bythe young woman who sits in thepublic restaurant, talks loudly on

her cell phone and starts to crybecause she has no money for for-mula. Unfortunately, there aremillions of people in the worldwho take advantage of nice peo-ple like me and my friend. Wegave her $40 each thinking wewere doing a good deed only tosee her getting into a car with herbaby and, of course, a male driver.So, unfortunately, we no longer goto that side of town — LovellRoad to be exact — because Idon’t want to see her again. I feltso disgusted and betrayed and, ofcourse, using a precious baby tosteal money from people. Yeah,you can say I am a sucker. I guessI am. I also feel that people likethat surely will get caught formisrepresenting themselves.

“Oh, we have come every year,”Andrea Channell of Farragutsaid. Her son, Caden, 8, marchedin the parade.

“I wouldn’t miss this,” CarolynMcClain of Knoxville said. “It’sreally a good parade. It’s packedon both sides of the street.

“I have been coming [to theparade] a few years, sitting at thesame spot,” she added. “This yearI came with my daughter, anddecided to make a day of it.”

“I just wanted to see a prettyparade,” Bill Allen of Loudon

said. The Town had 95 parade

entries this year, ChelseyRiemann, Farragut public rela-tions coordinator, said.

“It was very full this year,”Riemann said. “It was a goodparade.”

The event included FarragutHigh School Marching AdmiralsBand, political candidates, busi-nesses, community and veterans’groups and even Mayberry’sBarney Fife [Sammy Sawyer].

Grand Marshal was MarkPacker, WVLT-TV 8 news anchor.

For Xrisanthe Christopoulos ofFarragut, the event has been a

family tradition for 20 years.Christopoulos said her daughter,Xrista, was born July 4, and shehas been coming every year.

Some of the crowd came tocheer on parade participants.

For example, Ines Gibson’sdaughter, Audrey Gibson, 16, is amember of FHS MarchingAdmirals.

“But I would have come any-way,” Ines Gibson said.

Fred Willard of Ravenswood,W.Va., came to watch his grand-daughter, Arianna Willard, 3, andher mother, Kathy Willard, whomarched with Eun’s Martial ArtsCenter class.

didn’t. So they don’t have a panelof three Court of Appeals judgesto hear even the initial appealfrom the trial court,” Hale said.“So we have to rule on theappeal of those recusal motions.

“We do that before getting intothe merits of what the underly-ing case is about,” he added.

As for time, “I don’t think it’sgoing to be a hugely time-con-suming thing. Right now, atleast,” Hale said, adding hisduties and caseload with KramerRayson and town of Farragut

won’t be greatly affected by hisspecial justice service.

A two-time “Lawyer of theYear” honoree in Knoxville, Hale,59, has practiced at KramerRayson all 34 years he’s been anattorney.

Earning Knoxville BarAssociation's Governor's Awardin 2012, Hale also was namedTop Attorney for Corporate Lawby City View magazine from 2009to 2013.

A former president ofKnoxville Bar Association, Halehas served as Town attorneysince the late 1990s.

The following story is writtenfrom a personal perspective:Chuck Such is the grandfatherof Courtney Such, who sharesthe following: “He spent so muchof his time making sure peopleknew the history of the ProFootball Hall of Fame, and it isthe least I can do, as his grand-daughter, to continue to sharehis greatest story.”

Charles “Chuck” Such Jr. knewsports. More specifically, ChuckSuch knew football.

The man knew every rule, reg-ulation, scheme, player andcoach name, player history —and how to write about it. He alsoknew 51 years ago that Canton,Ohio would go in the NFL historybooks before anyone else did.

“Pro Football Hall of FameNeeds Home and Logical Site isHere” headlined Such’s columnthat started it all in The CantonRepository Dec. 6, 1959. Fouryears, more than $300,000 offundraised money, 14 acres and19,000 square feet later, the ProFootball Hall of Fame became areality, all thanks to a passionatesportswriter’s suggestion.

Plenty of other cities were inthe race to make their townhome to the Hall, but Such’s sug-gestion and the community sup-port in response to his columnmade its construction in anyother city unfavorable.

Progress happened quickly —Such’s piece was printed in theSunday paper, and one of Ohio’smost prominent businessmen,H.H. Timken from the TimkenRollar Bearing Company, calledMonday morning.

“‘I want Chuck to have everyresource he needs to make this asuccess,’” Timken said, accordingto Such.

“He started so small, and whowould have ever dreamed itwould be so big and prominent inhistory,” Barbara Such, Such’swife, said.

The success of bringing theHall of Fame to Canton would nothave been possible withoutSuch’s connections — Timken,Paul Brown, Hall of Fame coachand owner of the ClevelandBrowns; Art Modell, formerCleveland Browns and BaltimoreRavens owner and Pete Rozelle,former NFL commissioner, just toname a few. These people helpedbring monetary backing andcelebrity attention to the project,as well as getting the entire cityof Canton on board.

“It came out with a perfectending, but you know everyday itwas something new, and heenjoyed every moment. He put itall to the best knowledge hecould and everything came outright,” Barbara said.

The construction of the build-ing is not the only site the ProFootball Hall of Fame brought toCanton, and the whole packagestill seems surreal to Barbara.

Local angle on CantonColumn in 1959 by Chuck Such, father of Farragut businessman, led way to bring Pro Football Hall of Fame to Canton, Ohio

“The community dinner, theHall of Fame, the enshrinement,the game … the game was huge… it was just a matter of a fewphone calls and they had theirfirst game. It happened so quick-ly and in today’s world it probablycould never be that way, but itwas,” she said.

Every now and then a new storywill come out that the town ofFarragut has some sort of con-nection into the world of profes-sional sports — a FHS gradmakes his way to an NFL or MajorLeagues field or lands a collegecoaching job. The Such connec-tion in Farragut consists of theyoungest of Chuck and Barbara’sfour children, Mike Such, aFarragut businessman who haslived in Town the past 20 yearsalong with his wife, Tracy, anddaughters.

But this story is far from new.Such is still being acknowl-

edged for the success he broughtto Canton. Reporters wroteupdates on him, and he wrotepieces to remind people of thehistory and the bright future theHall of Fame has in the world offootball, most recently one thatran Dec. 6, 2013 for theRepository in honor of the Hall’s50th anniversary.

Such passed away in February,but the interest people still takeabout his influence on creating aPro Football Hall of Fame has notceased. His story hangs on thewall of the Pro Football Hall ofFame as the first thing you seewhen you walk through the doors,which was one of his biggest joys.

Tommy John surgery past,Ramsey’s ERA low versusSouthern League foes■ ALAN SLOAN

[email protected]

Matt “Hammer” Ramsey’s beginning path in profession baseball,according to his Montgomery Biscuits pitching coach, “Would bebumpy and long” thanks to bouts of wildness and coming off TommyJohn Surgery on his right elbow in 2011.

“But the stuff you see is outstanding,” R.C. Lichtenstein, pitchingcoach of this Southern League Class AA rival to the KnoxvilleSmokies, added about Ramsey, a former Farragut Admirals hard-throwing star pitcher (Class of 2008). “You know, he’s got a big arm.He’s one of the few guys you can see this year who can basically tellyou the fastball is coming and they still can’t hit it.”

Ramsey’searned runaverage as arelief pitcher,and recentcloser, withthe Biscuitsthrough July 6was animpressive1.07 in 33.2innings (24games) with46 strikeoutsand 23 walks.

A catcher,outfielder andbullpen closerat TheUniversity ofTennessee,Ramsey wasdrafted in the19th round bythe TampaBay Rays in2011.

“I havebeen a starter

from a young age and got my first taste of relieving my senior year ofhigh school,” Ramsey said. “I was a reliever in college as well and Ireally enjoyed the feeling of being in the game in high pressure, highintensity situations.”

As for Minor League Baseball versus the Southeastern Conference,“The biggest adjustment has been the constant travel with long busrides and quick turnarounds with having a game every day,” Ramseysaid. “Also, you are more on your own with everything so it’s a lotmore independent.”

To have any realistic thoughts of someday pitching for the Rays,“He’s got to get more consistent with his breaking ball and hischange-up, but it’s about getting reps,” Lichtenstein said.

“Would I like to see him command the ball a little better, absolute-ly. But the reality is until you’ve got a hundred, 200 innings underyour belt in pro ball, fine-tuning the delivery is the last thing tocome,” Lichtenstein added. “I think he’s got a pretty good feel forwhat he wants to do. But the reps will help him become more consis-tent with that and more sure that that’s what he needs to do.”

Ramsey said, “I have had success with my fastball and curveball,but also I am still developing an effective change up and slider as anout pitch.”

After “a pretty nice year last year” in the Gulf Coast League,Ramsey “started out with a couple of good outings this year” forMontgomery before “going down for three weeks,” Lichtenstein said.

Aaron Vargas, Voice of the Biscuits and a media relations official,said in an e-mailed response that Ramsey suffered “a side injury.”

Stanley’s Greenhouses andPlant Farm, 3029 DavenportRoad, Knoxville, has been servingthe Knoxville area for more than60 years, providing quality veg-etables, plants, trees and shrubs.

But its history dates before theCivil War as a family farm.

Situated three minutes fromdowntown Knoxville, the busi-ness is owned by Charles Stanley,now retired; his wife, MaryKathryn Stanley, and their sons,Monte and Rocky Stanley.

Stanley’s Greenhouses, origi-nally part of a 250-acre farm, con-tinues to be surrounded by wood-land. It offers 75,000 plants.Additionally, customers can findgarden art from local artists.

“I love it,” Monte Stanley, whogrew up in the business, said. “Ilove plants.”

“I like to be a part of beautifi-cation and restoring some of thenative plants whenever possible,”he added.

In the 1950s, Charles StanleySr., 94, started the greenhousebusiness out of the Davenportfarm, belonging to his mother’sfamily, Stanley’s daughter-in-law,Lisa Stanley, said. She is married

to Rocky Stanley. “Charles Stanley’s mother was

a Davenport and married aStanley,” Lisa Stanley said.“The farmhouse was deeded byGov. William Blount. [The Daven-ports] raised cattle andvegetables.”

“Gov. Blount deeded the landto grandpa’s father for serving inthe Civil War,” Charles Stanleysaid.

The Davenports raised cattle,but his grandfather wanted atruck farm to raise vegetables.Eventually, the farm was brokendown to 36 acres.

In the 1950s, the farm evolvedinto a greenhouse business.

“Charles Stanley was workingat Fulton’s in the 1940s and 1950sand realized the family farm was-n’t doing very well raising vegeta-bles to go to Market Square backthen,” she said. “Rocky andMonte’s mother would work thereduring the day, and he wouldcome in from the Fulton’s job atnight and seed and do his nightwork. Monte said he never sawhis dad.”

Charles started selling flowersand plants other than vegetablesso the farm could survive.

“His dream was for his twosons, Monte and Rocky, to be able

to have this [farm] as a full-timejob and not have to work an extrajob,” Lisa Stanley said.

The business started with onelittle greenhouse on the hill. “Aswe paid off one building, we start-ed building more [green]houses,”she said. About 16 years ago, theStanleys built the current retailoutlet building and greenhouse,

featuring four acres of heatedgreenhouses and three acres ofoutdoor growing area, Lisa said.

Monte said he joined the busi-ness in 1969 when he got out ofthe military. Rocky joined thebusiness after graduating highschool in the 1970s. While Monteruns the retail part of the busi-ness, his brother oversees the

growing and greenhouses. “Nowwe have kids involved, which iswonderful,” Lisa Stanley said.

Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to5 p.m., Monday through Friday,and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday. Thebusiness is closed on Sunday inJuly and August. For more infor-mation, phone 865-573-9591 or goto stanleysgreenhouses.com

communityLorena, with students, turns 106 ■ ALAN SLOAN

[email protected]

It’s been 60 years since LorenaHarvey taught Sarah Williams inthe second grade at FarragutPrimary School.

Sarah Williams Stewart, a 1964Farragut High School Class gradu-ate who said she was inspired byLorena to become a teacher,joined her little sister, GailWilliams Welch, for a special cere-mony Thursday, July 3.

They were two of a handful offormer students and long-timefriends plus staff and residents atSummit View of Farragut nursinghome in Farragut to celebrateLorena’s 106th birthday, whichactually was July 5.

When she was a first-grade stu-dent at Hardin Valley ElementarySchool, Stewart recalled Lorena,who never married or had children,as a second grade teacher at HVES.

Lorena, who never drove a vehi-cle, regularly hitched a ride withSarah and her father, HVES princi-pal Walton Williams.

“Daddy would have principals’meetings in Knoxville and me and

Miss Harvey would always sit inthe truck together. And we wouldlaugh and talk. She would tell mestories. … We spent many hours inthe pick-up truck,” Stewart said.“We were all in the same commu-nity, in Boyd community [off ChotoRoad near Northshore Drive]. Ourfamilies knew each other for years.I’ve known her all my life, actually.

“Because Miss Harvey was goingto be teaching at Farragut the nextyear [in the second grade], daddylet me go to Farragut.”

About having Lorena as herteacher, “I was so anxious, Iadored her,” Stewart said. “Shenever lost her temper. She was sowell groomed. … She was just sobeautiful and just so sweet.”

Welch, a 1968 FHS graduate whoLorena taught in first grade atFPS, said about starting school asa 5-year old, “I did not want toleave my mama.”

However, “When Sarah wouldbring me to Miss Harvey’s room, Iwould attach myself to her. MissHarvey would say, ‘Let Sarah go onto her room, we’re going to have a

Farragut and area residents can design their own rain barrelsduring a "Make-It, Take-It" Rain Barrel Workshop from 10 a.m.to noon Saturday, July 12, in Town Hall. One painted rain barrelwas designed last year by Mary Jo Gibson of Farragut, who wonthe barrel from the Rainy Day Brush Off event.


Farragut homeowners canlearn more about how to con-serve water by using rain barrelsduring an upcoming workshophosted by the town of Farragut.

The Town is hosting the "Make-It, Take-It" Rain Barrel Workshopfrom 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday,July 12, in Farragut Town Hall, inpartnership with the WaterQuality Forum.

The forum is a consortium ofdifferent agencies partneringtogether for water quality eventsand programs, Jason Scott,Farragut Stormwater coordina-tor, said. Among those other proj-ects are the Water Festival andRiver Rescue, a river and streamclean-up effort.

“I’m hoping participants willlearn about water quality, how itimpacts our community and howrain barrels are a great tool toreduce run-off and to conservewater,” he said. “Part of the rea-son we are able to afford [theprogram] is because there is aneducational aspect to it.

“We originally started doing[the workshops] as part of a larg-er event, an artistic rain barrelcompetition,” Scott added. “That

competition ended a few yearsago, but we continue doing theworkshop and rain barrel salesbecause there’s still a lot of inter-est in getting affordable rain bar-rels.”

The Town has been involved inthe rain barrel workshop formore than five years, Scott said.

Farragut hosted the event acouple years ago, Scott added,although the event usually takesplace in various areas. “It kind ofrotates.”

Scott said the workshop willeducate participants on philo-sophical and practical applica-tions of rain barrels as a low-costwater quality and water conser-vation tool.

The rain barrels are ideal forcapturing roof runoff and water-ing small-planted areas, Scottadded.

An overview of general waterquality concerns in the town ofFarragut and Knox County areaalso will be briefly discussed, hesaid.

Every participant will receive a55-gallon rain barrel reconfig-ured from a former food-gradestorage container, with all hard-ware and accessories necessary

Farragut area families have anopportunity to see a performanceof Hans Christian Andersen’sfairy tale, “Thumbelina,” featur-ing Farragut youth, Lucas Cunic,as Prince Navarre.

“It’s a lot of fun to be in it,” 13-year-old Lucas said. “I was askedto be the prince because I havebeen in a few shows with KCT.”

Lucas has been acting since hewas 11, when he played in “TheTrue Story of Pippi

Longstocking.” He became inter-ested when he saw his sister,Jennifer, performing.

“I thought it looked like itwould be fun and would be goodfor me. It was,” he said. Lucas hasperformed in five plays since.

This is Allen’s 14th originalfull-length play for KCT. He saidhe wrote the play thinking itwould appeal to different ages ofyoung people.

“I’ve combined the stories of“Thumbelina” and Homer’s“Odyssey,” a fairy tale and anadventure story,” Allen said.

He characterized the story as a“clever comedy,” featuring notonly “Thumbelina” but also otherfairy tales.

The show is a full-scale produc-tion, lasting an hour-and-a-half –including intermission. It fea-tures 12 actors whose ages rangefrom 7 to 17. Isabelle Hannah, 17,of South Knoxville playsThumbelina.

For all of her kindness, Lorenahad connections. “I always knewthat if I misbehaved, my fatherwould find out about it before I got

home because he was a principalat another school,” Welch saidabout her father.

Meghan Surgenor, Summit Viewactivities director, said Lorena“loves getting manicures and sheloves going outside for fresh air.She just loves being with people,little parties and get-togethers.

“She can still walk, with assis-tance.”

Surgenor said Lorena is the old-est person to ever be under the

care of Summit View. Also a first-grade student of Miss

Harvey who grew up in Farragutschools, Rebecca Duncan Shanks(FHS Class of 1971) said she “hadnever had the privilege” of attendingone of her former teacher’s SummitView celebrations.

As a teacher, “She was as sweetas she could be. A little stern whenshe needed to be,” Shanks said.“But always a sweet smile on herface.”

For many Knox area foster chil-dren who rarely, if ever, receivean expression of love, simply pro-viding them with a suitcase orbackpack of goods tells themsomebody cares.

Allen McMichael of Farragut isco-founder and president ofFostering HopeTN, a Christian-based non-profit hatched at afamily outing in July 2013 to pro-vide foster children, among otherservices, with much needed suit-cases — instead of trash bags —and backpacks filled with basicsupplies.

How much has it meant to fos-ter children and teenagers?

“We had a girl who was goingoff to college, and when I gaveher a suitcase she just criedbecause she thought she wasgoing to have to go with trashbags,” said Elizabeth “Chante”Hensley, McMichael’s grand-daughter and a licensure andrecruitment administrator for

Camelot Care Centers, Inc., a fos-ter care agency in Oak Ridge..

While each suitcase and back-pack comes with a caring letterwritten to each foster child, oneboy “read it and said, ‘I didn’tknow anyone out there in theworld cared about me withoutknowing about me.’ He was 15and that really touched him,”Hensley added.

Hensley, who has adopted twofoster children in addition tothree other foster children underher care at home, estimates“about 50” foster children are inFarragut.

“I had been seeing just a lot ofkids come with trash bags, and itwas always something on mymind,” she added.

In addition to suitcases, “Westarted talking about a perma-nent thing, to supply backpacks,and we’ll fill them with a fewschool supplies. Mostly it’s per-sonal care items … dictionaries,a Bible,” McMichael said.

While starting fundraisingefforts last summer, “We did a

hundred backpacks for heragency last December. … Theyhave their own nametag on it,”McMichael said.

“They had a Christmas partyand gave out a hundred back-packs to kids. We stuffed toys inthem, stuffed dolls; plush animalsfor smaller kids. … The kids real-ly loved it,” he added.

“Then we had a Farm Day downat RiverView Family Farm,”McMichael said about theConcord farm near Farragutwhere foster children were enter-tained with a hayride, singing andother entertainment plus food.“They donated their whole farmto us. … We had about 75 or 80kids there. We gave out morebackpacks.”

“We try to find some kind ofproject to do every three or fourmonths.”

Jeff and Virginia Cannon start-ed the farmers market in 2008when they noticed a lack of localproduct availability.

“It has definitely grown. Thevery first market, we had fourvendors, and we have built upover the years and are alwayslooking for new vendors to jointhe market family,” Jeff Cannonsaid.

Kelly Kaiser, a craft vendor,enjoys this farmers marketbecause of the community theCannons have built.

“I love it here. It is a really

good sense of community amongthe vendors. We all support eachother, and the Cannons, who runit, are just wonderful folks,”Kaiser said.

Colvin Family Farms is in itsfourth season of selling theirlocally grown produce at theDixie Lee Farmers Market. Theyreturn for the same reason asKaiser.

“It’s got a great steady clien-tele. … I’ve got a lot of friendswho come here steadily, clientelewho has stuck with us for yearsand that’s a really nice part of it,”Caleb Colvin said.

The vendors are not the onlylong-time regulars, though.Women, men, fathers, mothers,children and grandparents gath-er in the parking lot to shop andrelax.

“We have been coming sincethis farmers market began,”Whitney Bryan, a Farragut resi-dent, said.

“I like to support local farmers,and it is a great event in the com-munity to get together and seepeople and see what our localfarmers have to offer, as well asthe crafts,” she added.

The community the market hascreated serves as an added bonusto the Cannons’ original goals from2008.

“It was kind of a hair-brainedidea I had originally to actuallystart a farmers market that I had atthe right time. And next thing Iknow, it was happening,” JeffCannon added.

Jeff Cannon said he plans onexpanding the reach of the mar-ket to young, local entrepre-

neurs. Although the planning is in its

“infancy stages,” he hopes toimplement it before the 2014 sea-son ends.

“We are looking to add a chil-dren’s zone that supports a youngentrepreneurship … it’s basical-ly under adult supervision toencourage children to learn theins and outs of creating a productand then marketing it,” JeffCannon said.

Dixie Lee Farmer’s Market isalways looking to add more ven-dors and bring in more shoppers.

For more information andupdates on the much anticipatedchildren’s zone, visit eitherwww.dixieleefarmersmarket.comor www.facebook.com/dixielee-farmersmarket/

to get started. “Since the inception of the

Water Quality Forum's rain bar-rel initiative, more than 2,500rain barrels have been distrib-uted throughout the KnoxCounty area providing morethan 135,000 gallons of storageand stormwater runoff reduc-tion,” Scott said.

Cost for the workshop is $40 perbarrel. Due to a limited number ofbarrels, advance registration isrequired by e-mailing [email protected] or calling 865-215-5861 (include the location ofthe workshop, number of atten-dees, number of rain barrels, e-mailand phone number).

Their first television appear-ance was in 2007 when they bothparticipated in “All in theGenes,” a reality television series.The two met while filming theshow and eventually formed aband with one other member,Tayla Lynn, known as StealingAngels. Their debut single “HeBetter Be Dead” made it to theUnited States Billboard HotCountry Songs Chart in 2010.Although the group disbanded,the members remain friends.

Wayne and Cutbirth tried outand competed in two seasons of“The Amazing Race,” where theyplaced in the top four both times.Their participation in the 22ndseason took them to fourth place.They were invited back to partic-ipate in the second season of thecelebrity version and placed sec-ond. The show allowed them to

travel the world two times, jumpout of airplanes and visit placessuch as Bora Bora andSwitzerland — exotic destina-tions for women with Southernroots.

This was not their first time inKnox County, though, as theirband tour brought them toCotton Eyed Joe a few years ago.

“Next we are going to northernCal and then to Denver,” Cutbirthsaid.

Burchett said he is no strangerto being in the presence of “TheAmazing Race” contestants.

“I currently do not own a tele-vision, so I have had to followthem [Wayne and Cutbirth] onthe Internet,” Burchett said.

“But a former intern of minewas on it [The Amazing Race]and was earlier disqualified, soI’m just kind of a spectator from adistance,” he added.

Wayne and Cutbirth reside inNashville but are travelingaround the country for variousappearances.

Top 10 tips for flying with kidsAmerican Way (American

Airline’s inflight magazine) fea-tured the House Fairy last month!(House Fairy is my get organizedprogram for kids.) The House Fairyis flyinghigh onp u b l i c i t yand itpromptedme to writethis for youm a m a swho fly.With vaca-tion timehere, and ifflying is inyour plansAND you’retaking thekids withyou, here are what made my topten list for happy flying. . . short ofdrugs.

1. Be PreparedDesignate a carry-on as the

entertainment bag. Keep what’s init a secret, bringing out surprisesas the trip goes. Busy kids arehappy kids. Bored ones have theability to terrorize everyone on aflight, including you.

• books• notebooks• pens• crayons• coloring books• Ipad with favorite movie • Kindle2. Get GumChildren have very small ear

canals and when the cabin is pres-surized tiny ears can hurt.Chewing sugarless gum can helpand once the jet is air bound itisn’t needed.

3. Let it Suck Nurse during take-off, or have a

binky ready. I don’t think I’ve evertaken off without hearing an infantscreaming because his little earshurt. Sucking helps.

4. Turn Bedtime into Fly-timeMatching PJs don’t just have to

be at Christmastime. Deck yourwhole family out in new jammiesfor the flight. You’ll crack up theflight attendants as well as fellowpassengers. Tell your kids you getto have a pajama party on theplane. You may have a hard timesleeping on a flight, but I’ve nevermet a kid on a red-eye that wasn’tasleep and I’d love to see a fun-lov-ing family dressed for bed on a red-eye.

5. No Sugar When the flight attendant

comes by with the free sodas andjuice, just say “NO, water or milkplease.” Bring treats high in pro-tein and fat. Nuts and cheese, veg-gies and mayo. Hungry childrenand those high on sugar will getfussy and disruptive.

6. Make Sure Price is RightCheck the ticket prices for

infants as you may be chargedmore for your baby than yourself.Some airlines charge up to 75% fora ticket without a seat. In this caseyou don't save money! Buy a nor-mal ticket. At least you’ll get extraspace and that’s really valuable.

7. Go Potty Before Take-off Even the ones who pipe up and

say, “I don’t have to,” make sureeverybody goes before take-off. Cutback on fluids before the flight, thesame as you do before bedtime orthey’ll be up and down the aisle.Torture for the guy who sits in theaisle seat and your kid’s are in thewindow seat. This is sensibleadvice for adults too. Drinking fivepints of beer before getting on theplane is dangerous, especially if

you’re held up during taxiing. Ofcourse, there’s always Depends.

8. The Air Police are Watching One of my friends who had to fly

with her rather hyper three-year-oldtold me this worked wonders. “Iwarned Rachel to behave or the AirPolice would have to come. I pointedout the TSA uniformed agents andtold her they also look out for badlybehaved children. I’m not suggestingI scared her out of her wits and I did-n’t tell her what’d happen if theycaught her being a brat; I just usedthe suggestion as a way to teach herrespect for those in uniform and itdefinitely gave me a psychologicaledge.”

9. Peek-a-Boo Babies love to be held up over

your head. On a flight, they get tosee all the passengers and manywill be trying to get baby’s atten-tion. It’s a great way to calm a babyand it’s good for your upper armmuscles.

10. Practice Enlightened Selfishness Follow one of the airline’s cardi-

nal rules: in case the cabin losespressure, put your oxygen mask onfirst and then assist your child.Take care of yourself first andeverything will take care of itself.If you feel good and are rested,you’ll be far more able to cope withthe inevitable tests thrown at youby your busy little ones. So, eatright, get your sleep and give your-self plenty of time to get to the air-port early.

Safe travels! Have a wonderfultime with your kids whereveryou’re going.
