Farragut High School Class of2016 graduates started a newchapter in their lives after theypassed their tassels over theircaps at their commencementexercises in Thompson-BolingArena Saturday, May 21.

During the ceremony 418 stu-dents walked across the stage toreceive their diplomas.

“As you move forward, staytrue to yourselves,” StephanieThompson, FHS principal, said.

Kaci Deakins, commence-ment speaker, urged her fellow graduates to “change thewater.”

“Deakins, referred to Cind-erella to tell how the graduatesobtain their happy ever after istheir choice.

“Now, it’s time to choose ourpath,” Deakins said. Along theway, she said failure should beseen as an opportunity, not aroadblock in their path.

In another story, she talkedabout a mother who took threepots of boiling water to teachher daughter about adversity. Inone, the mother put carrots. Inanother, she put eggs, and in thethird, she put coffee.

“When they were affected byadversity, each reacted differ-ently,” Deakins said. “Are you acarrot, an egg or coffee?”

She urged graduates, whenfaced with adversity, to changethe circumstances aroundthem, as the coffee had changed

the water,Jasmine Park spoke on the

“Ocean of Inexplicability.” “Today, we are leaving a small

pond and walking into a tidalwave,” Park said. Using ThomasHenry Huxley’s quote. “Theknown is finite, the unknowninfinite; intellectually we standon an islet in the midst of anillimitable ocean of inexplica-bility,” to urge graduates not tobe afraid of the unknown.

“As we are leaving highschool today, many of us areunsure what we will do next,”she said. “Rather than cower,embrace what it is to be a smallperson.”

Gregory Matthew Phillips,graduate speaker, urged stu-dents, in his address” to “live inthe moment.”

“Procrastinating sometimeshelps us to live in the moment,”Phillips said. “Focus on the jour-ney, not the path. Allow in a little bit of fun. We will eachtravel to different destinations.Make some time to stop alongthe way.”

During the ceremony, gradu-ates remembered fellow class-mates they had lost, such asTaylor Corum, Kristin Farleyand Nicole Kalister, and stu-dents’ accomplishments, suchas the success of ScienceOlympiad team members JamesTerrell and Matthew Fisher,who won the state competitionand competed in the nationals

“I’m excited, but I can’tbelieve it’s happening already,”Cariya Guya, HVA graduate,said.

Four hundred and forty HVAgraduates walked across thestage to receive their diplomasduring the ceremony atThompson-Boling Arena.

“I’ve enjoyed high school,”Summer Allen, graduate, said.“Everything is coming to anend, then there’s college.”

“It’s an end and a begin-ning,” Grace Bean, graduate,said.

“True greatness can onlycome with the intensity of yourpassion and the dedication ofyour energy, “ Amy Linn, said inher commencement address,“To Mars and Beyond.”

“It comes from letting yourself become completelyenamored and engrossed insomething and never settling,”she said. “Spend each day,whatever your lane is, run toyour legacy.

End, beginning for HVA seniors

“Carl Sagan asked graduatingseniors what will their legacybe,” she said. “Be passionate, bedriven and you will be great.”

Gervis Brady Henderson, in hiscommencement address, com-pared life to a yardstick with eachinch being a part of that life.

“With every inch, your worldhas gotten larger,” Hendersonsaid. “Hardin Valley Academy is

but a particle. There is more tosee than can ever be seen.”

“Life is not always easy,”Lillian McCampbell, who spokeon “Living with Intention,” said.She advised fellow graduates tonot “go through the motions.”

“What if we lived every singleday, living with intention?” she


Bearden High School gradu-ates are leaving their mark ontheir school even after gradu-ating at Thompson-BolingArena Thursday, May 19.

“To say our graduating classhas simply left a legacy atBearden would be an under-statement,” Callie Elonen, sen-ior committee president, said

during the commencementceremony.

Each year, the senior classpurchases a senior gift to theschool. This year, the 2016class raised more than $34,000to renovate the auditorium.

Annette Hommel of Site Infrastructure Transpor tationEngineers addresses Noah Myers, Betty Dick, Ed Whiting andthe rest of the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission aboutplans to build an O’Reiley Auto Parts store on 10870 KingstonPike. The Commission unanimously approved the current plansfor access routes to the store while also unanimously decidingthat staff should talk to SITE about the architecture.

■ BEN POUNDSbpounds@far-

ragutpress.com

The Farragut MunicipalPlanning Commission unani-mously decided to work with aproposed O’Reiley’s location onimproving its architecture whilealso approving a plat of correctionfor Phase II of the Cottages atPryse Farm subdivision and dis-cussing rezoning on Turkey CreekRoad, changes to distance fromthe road for businesses, mixeduse neighborhoods and the 2017Capital Investment Plan.

They met on April 19.The FMPC unanimously app-

roved a variance from theDriveways and other AccesswaysOrdinance for a future O’Reiley’sAuto Parts store on 1080 KingstonPike. The minimum separationbetween accesses on an arterialstreet is 400 feet according toFarragut’s ordinances. As pro-posed, the right out access isroughly 200 feet from the existingThornton Drive access point andat a slight offset to the NewportRoad access on the north side ofKingston Pike.

Noah Myers drafted a motion for staff to work with the applicant, Site InfrastructureTransportation Engineers Incorp-orated, to create a renderingcloser to an O’Reiley’s store inGrove City, Ohio. The FMPCunanimously approved Myers’s

motion.“The closer you get to that

Grove City rendering, the happierI’ll be, but I understand thatmaybe that’s not appropriate forthe context of this situation forwhatever reason,” said Myers.

The FMPC discussed amendingthe front yard setbacks in all com-mercial zoning districts. The pro-posed changes would allow devel-opers to build buildings up to 20feet from the front property line.

Noah Myers said the changewould make it easier for develop-ers to put parking lots in the backor sides rather than the front. Hesaid it would push traffic conflictsfurther back from the road.

“Let’s emphasize our architec-ture and not our parking areas,”he said.

“My concern is moving closerand higher we could have apotential for canyon type effects,”said Ed St. Clair.

Mark Shipley led a discussionabout mixed-use neighborhoods.He shared pictures and guide-lines from the Village Mixed UseDistrict in Montgomery County,Pennsylvania. The examples com-bined residential areas withsmall-scale retail and offices,sometimes in the same building,while keeping small-town stylearchitecture and featuring greenspace.

FMPC unanimouslyapproves measures

“I like the idea, but I have thequestion in my mind as towhether or not Farragut is largeenough to support such business-es,” said Rose Ann Kile.

The FMPC unanimouslyapproved a plat of correction forPhase II of the Cottages at PryseFarm Subdivision. The earlier plat

had building envelopes overlap-ping with graded drainage ways.The new plan involves movingbuilding envelopes toward thestreet and away from the drainageways. Ashley Miller, assistant com-munity development director, saidthe change was “minor.”

Wesley Brock and Dennis Conner of W&W Concrete lay con-crete for the Splash Pad at McFee Park.

■ BEN [email protected]

Construction work continueson an updated McFee Splashpad, which will give residentsand visitors a place to cool offthis summer.

“People love to play in water,”Sue Stuhl, Town of FarragutParks and Leisure ServicesDirector said. “It’s a great way tocool off and have fun.”

“We’re inching closer to it,”she said regarding the SplashPad’s completion. She said theTown was aiming for early Juneas a completion time, but weath-er such as storms might delaywork on the project. She said theproject was not currently behindschedule.

“Everyone can play in every-thing,” Stuhl said. However, shesaid different elements will

appeal to different ages. She said the new Splash Pad’s

spray area will be 5747 squarefeet, five times that of the oldspray area. 25 elements willspray out of the ground. 16 abovethe ground elements will spraydown, out, or can be moved bythe user. She said a miniatureriver system called the riverjourney will especially appeal tosmall children. It will be operat-ed by pump, and visitors canfloat toy boats on it.

The total cost to build the newSplash Pad is $530,974.

“The old one was so popularthat it wasn’t close to being bigenough,” Stuhl said, regardingthe previous Splash Pad atMcFee Park. It also had mechan-ical problems.

She said the Splash Pad ismore economical than a swim-ming pool would be because it

does not require as much staff.She said the Splash Pad’s

hours will be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.“If there’s no one there it

turns off,” she said. It would beturned on by users and remainon as long as people are around.

“That park’s very popular,” shesaid regarding McFee Park ingeneral. She said Farragut resi-dents and people coming fromout of town to visit friends alikewill enjoy the Splash Pad. Shesaid some outsiders may come toenjoy the new Splash Pad“Because it’s new and big.”

McFee Park also includes apicnic pavilion and a play-ground. It is located at 917McFee Road. The McFeeGreenway connects to it.

Updates to the Splash Pad are just the beginning ofchanges to the Park. The pro-posed Capital Investment Plan

for fiscal year 2017 includes$300,000 for design and engi-neering. The plan also includes

$3 million in Fiscal Year 2018 forconstruction.

Earlier this month, EconomicDevelopment CommissionerRandy Boyd and I made a 10-day,eight-city trip to Japan, Koreaand Chinato build onthe greatb u s i n e s ss u c c e s sTennesseea l r e a d ye n j o y swith ourp a r t n e r sin thosecountries.

I wasm o r ee n c o u r -aged thanever onthis trip that people see theUnited States as a strong placeto invest and that Tennessee’sreputation is gaining on theinternational front because ofthe relationships we have withAsian companies like Nissan,Hankook and Bridgestone.

Among the highlights of ourtrip, we co-hosted an investmentseminar in Tokyo with the JapanExternal Trade Organization;attended meetings in Shanghai,China, including one withShanghai Mayor Xiong Yang;toured the headquarters inDongguan of Wonderful Group,which has made its first U.S. investment in Lebanon,Tennessee; visited Zejian, China,where we met with the governor

of Zejian Province, Li Qiang; vis-ited Sinomax, a Chinese compa-ny that is investing $28 millionin La Vergne; and co-hosted areception in Seoul, South Korea,to promote relations withKorean companies and govern-ment officials.

We had a chance to meet withor address executives from over250 companies in those 10 days.Our goal is to build on the 216Asian companies that alreadyhave a presence in Tennessee.

Like everything else, the bestadvertising you can get is anexisting customer telling peopleabout you, and we were able totake advantage of that in Asia.Over the years, just from thosethree countries, we have a com-bined investment of over $20 bil-lion.

One of the biggest advantageswe have in Tennessee has alwaysbeen where we sit on the map.With the work we have beendoing in education and develop-ing our workforce, those thingswork to our advantage.

Thirty-three years ago, then-Gov. Lamar Alexander talked toNissan about coming toTennessee. The Japanese automanufacturer built its plant inSmyrna, and we have benefitedfrom Asian business ties eversince.

This was a successful trip, andwe look forward to many moreyears of great business ties withour partners in Asia.

“Our time at Bearden HighSchool is not over,” AndrewChance, senior class president,said as he welcomed attendeesto the ceremony. “The impact theschool has had is just beginning.

“As we move out into theworld, let us all remember theunforgettable memories and lifelessons we have learned here. Icannot wait to see what thatclass accomplishes in thefuture.”

“We can all be a hero becauseyou are braver than you think youare, stronger than you think youare and smarter than you think

you are,” Sydney Gabrielson,salutatorian, quoted ChristopherRobin in her commencementaddress. “We can all be heroesbecause we can all change ordi-nary moments and createextraordinary memories. I chal-lenge you to all be heroes andpositively impact someone orsomething.”

Gabrielson named some well-known alumni, such as theUniversity of Tennessee basket-ball player Holly Warwick andKnox County Mayor TimBurchett, and said, “We can bejust as heroic as Bearden Highalumni.”

“I challenge you to live pur-posefully and intentionally,”John Bartlett, BHS principal,said. “You are not defined bytweets, likes and social media,you are defined by who you areand who you impact.

“You have to work. There areno longer trophies for participa-tion; you have to hone your craft.You have to invest in yourselvesand seek knowledge.”

Gerald Clark, 90, risked his life and liter-ally sacrificed a limb in World War II, whilefighting in the European Theater.

“I’m speaking for veterans and I only askthat people don’t forget us,” Clark, who pre-viously lived near Farragut before moving toSherrill Hills Retirement Resort, said. “Allmy war buddies have passed on.

“There were 16 million sent into WorldWar II. Now there are less than a million sur-vivors.”

The son of a pastor, Clark was 18 andworking in the shipyards in Newport-News,Va., when he enlisted.

“I just beat the draft, and people told meit would be better to volunteer because Icould have my choice of branch,” Clark said.“I chose to go in the [U.S.] Army.”

He enlisted in February 1944, and thatdecision would take him to the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes Forest, France

and Germany. “I was young,” he said. “I was ready for

adventure.” He received infantry basic training at Ft.

Landing, Fla., then was sent to CampShanks near the New York Harbor.

“I was scheduled to go overseas then anannouncement came that a law was passed.I had to be 19 years old to go overseas,”Clark said. “I wasn’t quite 19.”

He was sent to Camp Buckner, N.C., andCamp Breckenridge, Ky., where he joinedthe 75th Infantry Division.

“I was wondering if I was going to theSouth Pacific or Europe,” Clark said. “Theyloaded the whole division on trains. Thenext morning we looked out and saw theChattanooga Choo Choo station. We thoughtwe were going to the South Pacific becausewe went south from Kentucky.”

However, he discovered the trains turnednorth to Camp Shanks.

“This time we were going over-seas,” he said. They embarkedon an old ocean liner, the U.S.S.Brazil, and traveled to Swansea,Wales.

“The war was about to beover,” Clark said. “We did somelimited training in Wales. It wasthe fall of the year and theweather was beautiful.”

He first saw action at theBattle of the Bulge, a majorGerman offensive campaign inthe densely forested Ardennesregion of Wallonia in Belgium,France and Luxembourg.

“It was Christmas Eve 1944,”Clark said. “We went to the com-bat zone. The snow was so terri-ble we almost froze to death. Wesuffered a lot of casualties, andthere were a lot of seriouslywounded men, but I made itthrough OK,” Clark said.

The war took him to SouthernFrance, where American forcesencircled the Germans and theGermans surrendered.

Then, his division traveled toHolland, where the men crossedthe Rhine River into Germanyon pontoon bridges Americancombat engineers placed there.

“My job was to work withexplosives,” Clark said. “I was inHeadquarters Company, provid-ing all the explosives and ammofor the battalion.

“We always worked in thecover of darkness. My job was tolay anti-tank mines as road-blocks as close to the front linesas we could between theGermans’ and our lines.

“The Germans had a lot ofthat, too,” he said. “It was pro-tection for the front line troops.We would place the mines in theroadways.

“If a German Tiger tank cameup, trying to attack, [the mine]would blow the track off the

tank and disable it. All it coulddo was spin.

“The Germans would bail outimmediately, ‘They knew theyhad to get out.”

Before the German forcescould attack, his company had tocrawl back and remove themines so American forces couldmove forward and attack theGermans.

“We were about 50 miles south of Düsseldorf [Germany],”he said. “I was awakened nearmidnight. I was assigned to minedetail. A lieutenant colonel saidwe were sitting ducks there andwe needed to move out as soonas we could.

“I was to check the roadwaybetween the little town ofWhitten, Germany, and anotherlittle town four or five milesaway.”

Clark was one of five men rid-ing in a jeep. A sergeant and twomen from the armored divisionwalked in front of the jeep.

“Everyone in the combat zonehad a buddy,” he said. “You sticktogether.” Clark’s buddy, GeraldPowers, was riding in the backwith Clark and another soldier.

“When we got to the roadway,we checked for mines,” he said.“We took the jeep as far as wedared. [The Germans] hadheard us. Mortar shells werecoming in. It was terribly dark— no moon.

“We hit an anti-tank mine. Itblew the jeep across the roadand blew us on the other side.

“When I came down, I fell onmy back. I had one of the anti-mine detectors in my hand. Thewooden handle of the detectordisintegrated in my hand.

“The first pain I had was myright hand, when I put my handdown to get up.

“I could see my right foot lay-ing flat on the road, Powers who was not injured becausethey sandbagged the jeep, was

the first to get to Clark. “I said ‘I can’t feel anything in

my right leg.’ He could tell it wastorn up pretty bad,” Clark said.“He put a tourniquet on my leg.He saved my life. I would havebled to death. The main arterywas severed at my knee from themine explosion.”

Three men, the sergeant andtwo armored men walking infront, were killed from the mineexplosion.

“They never knew what hap-pened,” he said. “The Germanmines had a lot of explosives inthem.”

The driver and other mansitting beside him were serious-ly injured from the windshieldglass, but they survived.

The company commanderheard the explosion and sent amedic jeep, which took him to abattalion medical aid station. Amedical major approached him.

“I asked, ‘Major, am I going tomake it?’ He said, ‘Soldier, yougot a ticket home. You are goingto be fine.’ I relaxed. I had adread I was going to die,” Clarksaid.

He went by C-4 medical planeto a military hospital in London,England.

“That’s where I got my purpleheart,” Clark said. He was 19then.

He also received EuropeanTheater medals from the battleswhere he served. Clark said henever again saw Powers or any-one else from his division.

He was told at the hospital thedoctors would have to amputatehis leg because gangrene had setin. The medical major showedhim his leg so he would know itwas necessary to operate.

“I will never forget the majorfor that,” he said.

Clark married his sweetheart,Beatrice “Bea” Greene Clark, in1946, after he returned home.His father had brought her toAtlanta to meet him at LawsonMilitary Hospital.

“My wife and I wrote eachother all through the war,” he

said. “A lot of us had sweet-hearts. I wondered if she wouldstill stay with me. That was onmy mind after losing a limb.

“She came up and gave me abig hug. I couldn’t describe howI felt. That was one of the supertimes in my life.”

June 15, the couple will bemarried for 70 years. They haveraised five children, 11 grand-children and six great-grand-children. Two of his childrenwent to Farragut schools.

Clark has several military hatsbut the one he thinks most of isa cap from the American LegionPurple Heart Chapter 356Knoxville.

A retired certified publicaccountant, he and Bea movedto Knoxville in 1948.

Knox Area Rescue Ministries Stores held a dedication and ribbon cutting at its new Knoxville storeand donation center at 10612 Kingston Pike. On hand, from left, were Victoria Holland, KARMdirector of operations for West Knoxville stores; Tommy Garmon, KARM Knoxville store sales man-ager; Burt Rosen, KARM president and CEO; Julie Blaylock, Farragut West Knox Chamber ofCommerce administrative assistant; Ashley Adkins, Knox Chamber of Commerce sales manager;Linda Whitehead, director of operations for central stores.


About 60 attendees celebratedthe dedication and ribbon cut-ting for Knox Area RescueMinistries’ newest KARM Storeslocation in Knoxville.

Farragut West Knox Chamberof Commerce and the communi-ty’s residents joined KARM rep-resentatives in celebrating thededication of its store and dona-tion center at 10612 KingstonPike on Thursday, May 5. The fes-tivities continued with giveawaysand prizes on Saturday, May 7.

“It’s such a happy day,” SueRenfro, KARM director of mar-keting and communications, saidat the May 5 dedication.

“Having a grand opening isalmost anti-climatic because theresponse to the store has been sooverwhelming from the day weopened the door,” Burt Rosen,KARM president and CEO, said.“Today, we get to celebrate reallywhat God has done in this com-munity, and it would not happenwithout folks like you.

“Your faithfulness, your gen-erosity, your support is whatallows us to do at KARM what we

do every single day. It would nothappen without you.”

“We have an opportunity to tellthe KARM story to a communitythat may not know all impact thathas been taking place and toreveal Christ,” Evan Crass, KARM

director of partnership engage-ment, said. “This is something weare excited to be able to share ona grand scale for this grand open-ing.”

“Knoxville is blessed with aplethora of ministries and

churches, but if there’s any min-istry in Knoxville that honors theheart of Jesus, it is KARM.” Dr.Chris Stephens, Faith PromiseChurch in Knoxville, a partner

church with KARM, said. KARM has 17 full retail stores

and donation centers across sixcounties, which include Knox,Blount, Anderson, Loudon,Hamblen and Jefferson counties,Renfro said. It also has a clear-ance center and a Christmasstore location in November andDecember.

“This is the largest store,”Renfro said. “The KARM Storesin Knoxville offers quality, gentlyused clothing, furniture andother household items at afford-able prices.”

Rosen said having a store inthe Farragut area provides Townresidents with an opportunity tomake a difference in their com-munity and it provides a locationin their community so they don’thave to travel to downtownKnoxville to donate or shop.

“In my experience, communi-ties appreciate the opportunityto make a difference in the com-munity at large,” he said.

Having a new business alsospeaks to the community’s eco-nomic growth.

“Generally speaking, when youhave a new business, it speakswell for the community’sgrowth,” Rosen said. “ This is away to partner with the commu-nity.”

Crass said the stores help

KARM by providing funding so itcan furnish meals and shelter forits guests.

“After expenses, 100 percent ofthe revenues go to fund the min-istry to help those in need,”Renfro said.

On a slow day, Rosen saidKARM serves 750 meals and on abusy day, it serves upward to1,500 meals.

“We consider it to be a slownight, if we have fewer than 500people — men, women and chil-dren — spending the night withus and because of the positionKARM takes in the community,we don’t accept governmentfunds. We can only operatebecause of the generosity of thiscommunity.”

Hands-on art activities andclear skies drew hundreds to theannual Art in the Park for Kids.

Children made creations onrocks and shells and with chalkspray and food during the Farra-gut Business Alliance-hosted ev-ent, presented by TDS Telecom, inFounders Park at Campbell Sta-tion off Campbell Station RoadSunday, April 24.

Youngsters found they couldplay with their food with the helpof Cutting Edge Cooking School,which manned a station wherechildren could make artistic food

creations. “We lost Krispy Kreme food art,”

Allison Sousa, FBA executivedirector, said. “This group contact-ed us and was willing to partici-pate, so we’re glad to have them.”

Art was not the only draw foryoungsters, as TDS Telecommanned a corn hole game, wherechildren could play to win a kite,and others took a dip in the creekor threw Hula Hoops on the park’sstatues.

Beautiful weather and friendsbrought the Patel family to Art inthe Park for Kids, Manisha Patelof Farragut said.

“We came because of the art,”Isha Patel, 8, said.

The event drew 800 to 1,000 eas-ily, Sousa said.

“We had 200 before we evenopened the gates,” she said. “Theycame an hour early.

‘We weren’t sure what wouldhappen by moving the event to aSunday, but it didn’t hurt us at all.We couldn’t fit anymore bodiesinto the park.”

“I like it,” Olivia Brewer, 10,Hardin Valley resident, said. Herfavorite activities were the sprayart, rock art and shell art. “I likeart. It’s fun.”

“It’s something different,”Frances Bailes, Olivia’s grand-


Hundreds of attendeesenjoyed tequila, tacos andmusic while supporting RemoteArea Medical Volunteer Corpsduring the second annual CincoSouth-ern Tequila and TacoFestival.

The event, which took placein the parking lot of GanderMoun-tain at 11501 ParksideDrive in Turkey Creek on Friday,April 29, went well, Chris Hall,chief operations officer forRAM, said.

“We’ve got the TennesseeWind Symphony and Kelsey’sWood playing,” Hall said. “It’sbeen a great time. People areenjoying the food and weatherwhile raising a lot of money forRemote Area Medical.”

He estimated about 1,000attended the event, raisingmore than $18,000 for the vol-unteer corps. John Volpe, gener-al manager of Abuelo's, whostarted the event last year, coor-dinated the festival. It was heldin conjunction with Cinco deMayo, a week away from the fes-tival. Abuelo’s and CampbellStation Wine and Spirits weremajor sponsors of the event.

“It’s awesome,” Tom Burchill,Farragut attendee, said. “Theydid a good job. The weatherturned out great, as well. Webrought a group of about 12.

“It’s a good turnout,” MichelleBurchill of Farragut said.

“We love it,” Rick Lindsay ofKnoxville said.

“It’s awesome,” AnnmarieKlopfer, Knoxville attendee,said.

“I think it’s wonderful,” Dea-nna Wentworth, a Knoxvilleattendee, said. “I work in thehospital at UT and have volun-teered for RAM before. I defi-nitely wanted to support [RAM]

because I know that it does a lotof good work for its patients.”

‘This is fantastic,” Josh Stidd,a new Knoxville resident for-merly of Indiana, said. “We havesomething similar in Indianabut I like the theme of this fes-tival.”

Cory Fox of Knoxville said afriend to the festival invitedhim.

“It’s fun,” Fox said, “It’s cool.” “Tacos and tequila, you can’t

beat it,” Kristen Bridges,Knoxville attendee, said, “Theweather didn’t hurt either.”

“I love the tacos and tequila,”Sara Gibson Hillon, a Knoxvilleattendee, said.

“You can’t go wrong withtacos and tequila,” Justin Keys,Maryville attendee, said.

“I love it,” Carla Huddleston,Oak Ridge resident, said.

“We came here [fromLexington, Ky.,] for this,” TasiaRader said. “My sister liveshere, and it’s her birthday, it’s acharity event, and we have awhole group here.”

RAM provides free dental,medial and preventive care freeto the public at one of its mobileclinics. Hall said about 80 per-cent of its operations is based inthe United States with a highpercentage being focused onTennessee, Kentucky andVirginia.

Last year, RAM treated a littlemore than 30,000 patients,which delivered a value of careupward to $12 million, with justfewer than 10,000 volunteers,Hall said.

Jeff Eastman, RAM chiefexecutive officer, said RAMoperates with all private dona-tions and fundraisers and with-out government funding.

Citizens in the area whocould not attend but still wantto donate to RAM can go toramusa.org, Hall said.

Be Happy Now!It takes practice living every

moment of now and being contentwith it. Yes there are troublesomeexperiences, but the key is not tobe troubled. Can you think of anadult that lives this way?

For most of us, life seems towhiz by and before we know itanother day, week, month, season,year has passed and we knowwe've missed a lot because wewere thinking about the past orthe future.

It's time to be happy NOW, notwhen our circumstances are dif-ferent!

When you deepen your relation-ship with YOU and take the time tolook at yourself with new eyesevery day and truly honor the holi-ness within you, your circum-stances change in beautiful ways.Your problems give an opportunity

to learn to know yourself better.So, whether you're living in a messat home,in a rela-t i o n s h i pthat's frus-t r a t i n g ,feeling afinancialcrunch, ina bodyweighingtoo muchor all ofthe above,let solvingyour prob-lems startwith goingwithin ingratitude for your life (the onlyone you've been given) and sens-ing the truth that you're not aloneand all is well.

I can tell you, when you getorganized and your home is peace-ful, clutter-free and an oasis fromthe hectic world, it will just be aplatform for you to do and bemore.

A wonderful gift: YOU! "Therewill never be an arriving, only acontinuation of the quest; so you'dbetter have fun on the way." Iwrote that in The SidetrackedSister's Happiness File more than20 years ago. Oprah touted a book,Women Food and God by GeneenRoth. She had Roth on her showand she talked about the negativeconnotation of the phrase "full of

yourself." Geneen said, "Be really,really full of yourself." That soundsawful until you think about it. "WeARE adored," but no one ever tellsus that because it's kind of anunused word unless we're using itin a religious sense. "We AREloved" goes right over our headsbecause we overuse the word"love." "Yeah, yeah, I know I'mloved, what's for dinner?"

I heard Esther Hicks tell of herneighbor's cat. They named her"Party Cat," because wheneverthey had a party the cat wouldalways come over. Well, Party Catwas at one of their parties and wasgetting petted and talked to andshe got in a chair and rolled overon her back and just basked in thelove that was bestowed on her andsomeone asked the cat, "What doyou do to deserve this?" Everyonelaughed, because they knew thatthe cat deserved the love andattention by just being a cat.

We are just like Party Cat. Wedon't have to do anything to

It's so easy to do really. Start bycatching yourself complaining,whining or negatively thinkingabout something and once you've

made the catch start thinkingabout all your blessings. Gratitudeis like sulfuric acid when it comesto dissolving worry, anger, depres-sion and a long list of negativewords. It takes a little practice, butpractice makes it easier and easi-er. Yes, it's time to be happy

KNOXVILLE — Two FarragutHigh School tennis players willclose the 2016 season onTennessee’s grandest stage.

Senior Gary Carter and juniorHannah Price will each competefor a Class AAA State SinglesChampionship at Old Fort Parkin Murfreesboro.

They clinched spots at the

Midstate by winning Region 2-AAA Championships on Tuesday,May 17, at the West Hills TennisCenter.

Carter, who will be making histhird consecutive trip to MiddleTennessee, advanced with a 6-1,6-1 victory over Hardin ValleyAcademy senior SpencerChaloux in the regional final.

It was the third meeting of theseason between the two longtimefriends and rivals. Carter holds a

big advantage in the overallseries but the top players inDistrict 4-AAA are usuallyembroiled in hotly contestedmatches.

This, however, wasn’t the casein the last meeting, as Carter wascompletely dominant.

“When he plays like he didtoday, there’s just nothing I cando about it,” Chaloux said ofCarter. “He just kept hitting andhitting and hitting the ball from

corner to corner.“I’m really happy with my sea-

son although I wish that itwould’ve ended a little better.”

Carter, who reached the semi-finals in Murfreesboro last yearafter qualifying for the quarterfi-nals as a sophomore in 2014, saidthat his latest region tournamentwin was special.

“I was very excited to playSpencer,” Carter said. “He’s agreat player. Playing him always

makes me better.“I fixed some things and I

played my game and I’m lookingforward to going on another stateadventure.”

Chaloux leaves the Hawks pro-gram as its all-time leadingmatch winner and HVA coachSeth Rayman had high praise forhis senior No. 1 singles player.

Trips to the Class AAA StateTournament have become thenorm for the Farragut HighSchool baseball team and theAdmirals have punched anotherticket to Murfreesboro.

Farragut, which last missedthe tournament field in 2007,clinched its latest state bid xwith a13-0 five-i n n i n gv i c t o r y over Morristown East in aSection 1-AAA tilt Friday atJohn Heatherly Field at TheBallpark at Farragut.

“It feels great to go back tostate,” said senior pitcher DylanPacifico, who hurled four score-less innings and had eightstrikeouts against the Hur-ricanes on an otherwise gloomyday in Farragut. “I take it forgranted that we’re always goingto get to state but I know Ishouldn’t.”

The Admirals certainly didn’tappear to be taking things forgranted in a game that wasplayed on Friday morning dueto Morristown East’s graduation

ceremony and the threat ofimpending inclement weather.

Pacifico opened the game bystriking out the side in the topof the first inning, although hehad to work his way around atwo-out error in the inauguralframe.

The contest, however, didn’tremain scoreless for long.

The Admirals (37-6) scoredsix runs in the bottom of thefirst. Farragut had just three ofits 14 hits in the first but madethe Hurricanes (28-10) pay theprice for two errors and a wildpitch.

Cole Morgan led off andreached on an error and tooksecond on a single by TheUniversity of Tennessee signeeDuncan Pence. Both playersadvanced on a sacrifice bunt byJake Hagenow.

Morgan came home with thegame’s first run whenHurricanes left-hander RyanLloyd uncorked a wild pitch.Pence then scored when juniorsecond baseman Justen Free-man had a sacrifice fly butreached on an error when theball fell out a Morristown East

The Bulldogs (20-3) may havewon a Section 1-AAA matchagainst a squad that made itsfirst sectional appearance butSevier County goalkeeper JonRumple made things extremelydifficult for Bearden, whichstruggled with its shootingtouch throughout the match.

“They’re keeper made sometremendous saves,” Radcliffesaid. “He was great.

outfielder’s glove. Parker Nolandand John Painter both walked toload the bases, which werecleared in a hurry. ChandlerChambers blew things open witha three-run triple to make thescore 5-0 in an inning where theAdmirals sent 10 batters to theplate.

Chambers later scored whenAlec Reinhart singled.

“Chandler Chambers had a bigdouble for us there in the firstinning,” Farragut coach MattBuckner said.

Chambers said that FHS knewwhat it had to do when itanswered an early wake-up call tocome to the ballpark. TheAdmirals, which last won a cham-pionship in Murfreesboro in 2014,lost in extra innings to HardinValley in the 2015 title game. Andthe Farragut junior said that thatserved as motivation all season.

“What happened to us last yearlit a fire in our bellies,” saidChambers, who had a pair of dou-bles and knocked in four runsagainst the Hurricanes. “We cameout and we had that big inningtoday.

“That gave us a little confi-dence and we just turned it on.We have confidence that we cango down there and win a statechampionship.”

The postgame celebration wasrelatively low-key and that is justthe way Buckner likes it.

“I see other teams make it tostate and they’re dogpiling oneach other,” he said. “You see thisbecause we expect to make itevery year. We work 12 months ofthe year for these two weeks andwe’ve had an incredible run.We’ve made it to the state 17times in the last 18 seasons.

The Hawks had a chance tobreak ahead early Saturday butthe home team was turned cameup empty.

The Hawks (27-13-1) squan-dered a scoring chance in thebottom of the first inning aftersenior ace Kaleigh Wynne struckout the side in the top half of theframe.

Haley Cloud led off the bottomof the first and reached on a two-base error. Wynne followed andwas intentionally walked beforeTrentham retired MikaelaChavis, Leslie Beecham andSydney Dukes to avert any dam-age. Dukes was Trentham’s firststrikeout victim of the contestand said that the loss would onlyserve as motivation for HVAwhen it begins preparation forthe 2017 campaign.

“This will only make us want towork harder for next year,” said Dukes,” Hardin Valley’ssophomore center fielder, whowalked twice in the game. “Welearned a lot from this tonight. Welearned that we can’t take anythingor any team for granted.”

After issuing the intentionalpass to Wynne in the first, Eaglessenior pitcher Sam Trenthamfanned the side in the secondand retired eight consecutiveHawks before Dukes walked withtwo down in the fourth. Theinning ended when JodieParham flew out to right.

The game was still knotted in

a scoreless tie when HardinValley had its best chance toscore in the fifth.

With one out in the inning,Dukes walked. Cloud reached onan error one out later beforeSeymour coach Jessica Sterlingopted to intentionally walkWynne to load the bases.

“I wasn’t going to let their bestplayer beat us,” said Sterling,who attempted to walk Wynne inthe third but the Hardin Valleysenior swung at a pitch andpopped out to Seymour catcher

Reid Ballard. “I would’ve pitchedto her if she came up with thebases loaded.

“Even then, I wouldn’t havereally given her anything to hit.”

Sterling’s strategy worked asChavis struck out to end theinning. That frame seemed tosum up things for the Hawks.

“We didn’t have any discipline atthe plate,” Hardin Valley coachWhitney Hickam-Cruze said. “I thinkwe came in ready to play ball and Idon’t think the road to get here hadany impact on us at all.

“[The difference in the gamewas] hitting. We couldn’t lay offthe high ball.”

Dukes agreed.“I think we were just a little

too aggressive at the plate and[Trentham] was able to use thatagainst us,” Dukes said.

Trentham sat the Hawks downin order to end the game.

Hardin Valley may have failedto reach the goal of a return tripto Murfreesboro and the finalloss had to sting.

keep the Smoky Bears withinstriking distance.

“He kept us in the game,”Sevier County coach BryanAtchley said of Rumple. “He wasamazing for us and he had somegreat saves.”

Atchley, the longtime SCHShead coach might’ve left thepitch on the losing end but hadsome huge accolades for hissquad, which had its best seasonin school history.

“We had a great year,” Atchleysaid. “We won the district cham-pionship and we won the districttournament championship andwe made it here for the first timein school history.

“Bearden used to be in our dis-

trict and I’ve [coached] downhere several times. I told the kidsbefore the game that I first camehere 11 years ago and I lost 7-1.We wanted to come here tonightand proved that we belonged onthis field with them. I think wedid that. We made great stridesthis year. Hopefully, we’ll be backagain.”

Garcia commended Rumple’seffort between the goalposts.

“He played a great game.”After surrendering the early

goal, Rumple and the SevierCounty defense kept theBulldogs off the scoreboarddespite the fact that Beardencontrolled the tempo and held aterritorial advantage.

“Sevier County played a greatgame,” said BHS senior forwardGabe Alvarez, who extended his

side’s advantage to 2-0 with amarker in the 78th minute.“They played with a lot of heart.They played with so much heart.

“It’s just a shame that one ofus had to go home after tonight.”

Alvarez, one of Bearden’s mostpotent offensive weapons, saidhe’s happy to be closing out hishigh school career on the state’sgrand stage.

“This is the first time that I’veever made it to state,” he said.“This feels great.

“It feels great because SevierCounty gave us such a greatgame. This is what we’ve workedfor all year.”

Bearden junior netminderRandal Bishop was able to pre-serve his shutout with a pair ofstellar saves in the match’s wan-ing moments. But he credited his

teammates for helping him makehis first trip to Murfreesboro.

“We really came together as ateam this year,” Bishop said.
