ISSUE 44 VOLUME 27 FARRAGUT, TENNESSEE THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2015
The sign at the entrance to Farragut Intermediate and Middle schools says it all in welcoming for-mer Farragut High School head girls basketball coach and FMS assistant principal Wes Edmondsas its new principal.
Edmonds new principal at FMS■ ANTHONY ELIAS
Farragut Middle Schoolnamed Weston “Wes” Edmondsits new principal Friday, June26.
Edmonds, the former assistantprincipal, will be taking overresponsibilities from his prede-cessor, Danny Trent, on a job hesays he’s “built for.”
“I even started as a teacherhere at Farragut High [School]back in 2004,” Edmonds said. “Iwas a teacher and a girl’s bas-ketball coach for eight years. Inthat time, starting off as a first-year teacher, I got to know thecommunity pretty well andcoaching, I got to know a lot ofcommunity members and wasvery engaged in that.”
Edmonds became well-knownin the Farragut community withhis work on the court withFarragut’s girls high school bas-ketball team. In the eight yearshe spent on the coaching staff,four were spent as the headcoach leading the Lady Admiralsto an 82-33 record with two con-secutive Class AAA sectionalappearances.
Edmonds left FHS a year laterafter being hired by Trent atCentral High School.
“He was a mentor for me,”Edmonds said. “A really vision-ary leader kind of guy. [He is]always pushing everybody andtrying to get the most out of peo-ple. At the same time, a veryfamily-oriented individual; verysupportive of your need to yourfamily and doing what’s best foryour family, but also expectingthe best out of your work. So itwas just an honor to work forhim for the three years that Idid.”
Edmonds moved back toFarragut a year later after Trentwas named principal at FMS andbrought the former FHS teacherwith him. The former socialstudies teacher took over as ath-letic director. Edmonds andTrent worked alongside oneanother for another two yearsbefore Edmonds took over, butnot without his mentor beingclose by.
“We have a very good relation-ship,” Edmonds said. “We talkabout everyday; multiple times aday since I was appointed. Ithink that part of my appoint-
ment was that Trent would beinvested in really helping makesure that I was successful here.Making sure that FarragutMiddle School keeps on being as
successful as it is. So, yes, we’rein constant communication.”
Edmonds said his likeliestchallenge will be the increase instudents he’s seeing.
“I think whenever you’re talk-ing about moving from the assis-tant seat to the head seat, it

Rain threat didn’t dampen Independence Day parade spirit■ ANTHONY ELIAS
The 28th Annual Independ-ence Day Parade on Saturday,July 4, was unlike any of the pre-vious ones.
“It’s threatened to rain [in thepast], it’s been overcast, but Idon’t ever remember [havingrain],” parade participantJeannie Sellars said. “It didn’tdamper the spirits. There was abig turnout for it. And peoplelook forward to it so much. Wewere bringing our truck downgoing over to the high school —this was at 8 a.m. this morning
— and there were already chairsset up along the parade routewhere people were saving theirspots.”
People were able to see thisyear’s Grand Marshal, HelenAshe, twin sister of the late EllenTurner and co-founder of theLove Kitchen, leading theparade. The joyful Abbeville,S.C., native sat up in the passen-ger seat of the leading Mitsubishiand said she was “in anotherworld.”
As for the parade behind Ashe,some viewers noticed a largerline behind the grand marshal.From horseback riding and
remote-control cars to LadyLiberties and American flag sun-glasses, the parade saw all sortsof creativity — in the parade orviewing — put to work.According to Town of FarragutPublic Relations coordinatorChelsey Riemann, “at least 70 ofour approximately 90 entries stillparticipated.”
“I thought it was great,”parade spectator Lisa Copelandsaid. “Looks like there’s more inthe parade this year, it seemslike; more participation.”

As for their favorite parts ofthe parade, the Copelandsturned to their son, Landon, andkept their biased support.

The Copelands were amongthe estimated 5,000 people whoattended this year’s Indepen-dence Day parade.
Unlike most parades inFarragut, though, umbrellas andraincoats were the trend alongKingston Pike. The rain was off andon before it showered the parade’sfinish, but did little to dampen thetown’s patriotic energy.
“It’s the largest 4th of Julyparade in the state,” Wayne
Sellars, president of the ConcordFarragut Republican Club, saidabout the Independence Dayparade. “We really enjoy comingdown to see it and it’s kind of afamily gathering. [You get to see]old friends and you get to see alot of people you haven’t seen.”
“We’ve never missed one;we’ve always participated,”Jeannie Sellars said. “See, we doan entry. We always have ourbusiness in it. Then we watch therest of the parade. So we loveparticipating in it.”

opinionletterstotheeditorSetting the recordstraight
As the current president ofthe Fox Run Home OwnersAssociation, I would like to cor-rect the record regarding a 2July “ presstalk” comment.
The Fox Run HOA has neverissued a statement on behalf ofthe neighborhood regarding theproposed re-zoning request byContinental Properties, howev-er, this project was discussed atthe May 26 HOA monthly boardmeeting.
There were a variety of opin-ions reflected by the Board, andas a result, homeowners were“encouraged to attend town ofFarragut meetings to gain moreinformation and to comment, asindividual residents.”
Joleen DewaldFox Run
Village Green poolquestioned
The call by the Village GreenHomeowners Association Boardfor a July 12 vote to approve
special assessments totaling$1.47 million over the nexteight-year period is prematureand should be cancelled. It rep-resents poor project planningand bad business practices. Thehomeowners are being asked toapprove the collection of thesefunds without any formal resolu-tion or other approved Boardcommitment as to exactly whatthese special assessment fundswill be spent for. At this point intime, the Board could spend thefunds for whatever it wishes andin any amount it wishes for anyof the proposed recreationalfacilities it has envisioned with-out any further approval fromthe residents. There are nodesign drawings, blueprints, orspecifications for any of theenvisioned facilities. There isnot even an artist’s rendering ofwhat the proposed facilities willlook like. Accordingly, therehave been no firm bids by reli-able, reputable, contractorsquoting exact costs for each ofthe proposed facilities, nor time
of completion estimates norguarantees of quality perform-ance. The estimated costs of thenew facilities included in recentinformation sent to homeownersby the Board are “guesstimates”at best, based on Board conver-sations with unnamed personsin the Knoxville area.
There have been no studieson the environmental impacts ofincreased wastewater dischargeof a larger swimming pool, theeffects of increased traffic flowon the neighborhood streets,nor the effects of increasedlighting and noise levels onhomes in the immediate vicinityof the new facilities. Withoutthe results of such studies, theBoard might take actions, whichcould expose homeowners tocostly litigation.
Board statements about thedemise of the present swimmingpools are greatly exaggerated.Although more than 45 yearsold, the pools are presentlyoperable, and most of the per-ceived problems are cosmetic in
nature. Several years ago, theBoard increased regular annualhomeowner assessments by anadditional $75 to be included ina Capital Improvements Fundfor maintaining these pools andother Village facilities in topcondition. This additional$34,500 per year was to makerepairs and replacements notincluded in annual maintenanceexpenditures. Because the pres-ent Board has not issued audit-ed financial statements for the2014-year, which ended this pastDecember, one cannot deter-mine the present balance in theCapital Improvements Fund orthe nature of expenditures fromthe Fund. Certainly, the use ofsuch set-aside funds would goalong way in remedying any seri-ous problems with the existingpools.
Homeowners also should beaware that that building thenew facilities will increase thepresent annual assessments of$295 by $100 to $150 per year toprovide for the increased opera-
tion and maintenance of thosefacilities, and an appropriateincrease in the CapitalImprovements Fund. The totalof future regular and specialassessments could easilyincrease to more than $800 peryear.
The Board’s reported “strawpoll” of Village homeowners whoapproved of the proposed newfacilities was a seemingly biasedsurvey of far less than all of thetotal 460 households in theVillage. The urgency of theBoard’s push for new facilities isunwarranted.
The Board’s call for $1.47 mil-lion in unobligated funds at thistime is unjustified, based on thenon-existence of firm plans andcosts for the proposed newrecreational facilities. The July12 vote to approve the specialassessments should be can-celled.
William L. Perry44-year resident of Village Green
• There are at least two sidesto a situation. I’ve lived in VillageGreen [subdivision] and nowWyndham Hall [subdivision] for39 years — Concord thenFarragut. I’m now at an olderpoint in my life and my circum-stances indicate that I shoulddownsize and rent a small apart-ment. Naturally, I want to remainin the same area where my fami-ly, friends, church and communi-ty are. This is a traumatic movefor me. So I want to look forwardto this next phase of my life. Ofcourse I would like to continuethe same lifestyle during myretirement years. I thinkFarragut should offer choiceswithout lowering its standards.
• I’m calling about the personwho wrote in to presstalk lastweek about the Village Green
[subdivision] swimming poolwho says [presstalk] was alwaysbiased. His comment that therewere almost 200 of us who signeda straw poll ballot who said theywanted a larger pool. Well, myfriend, No. 1, nobody asked meand nobody asked anybody else Iknow who I asked in the subdivi-sion if they ever saw that strawpoll. And even if had, you have toknow 200 is less than half thepopulation of the subdivision.There are over 460 homes in thesubdivision. So that’s not really aresounding majority, is it? Weneed to get real on this folks. It’snot the rebuilding of the pool; it’sthe scope of the thing and thecatering and [gerry]manderingto the swim team. Vote no.
• I would like to see moreVillage Green homeowners inter-
viewed on the story about the“Village Green residents battleover pool assessment.” There area number of people, if you goaround and knock on a few doors, Ithink you will find that there are anumber of people who will go onthe record and talk about theirconcerns about the project.
• I’m calling about the articlein the farragutpress about“Village Green residents battleover pool assessment.” I’m a res-ident there and I understand theneed for another pool. They areold and like many people I sup-port that, but I am just con-cerned over the size of the poolthat we’re going overboard on itand why not just close down theMonticello pool? I guess I’m con-cerned too that in the article theAssociation’s vice president said
it really wasn’t for the swimteam, but then he is quoted say-ing with only five lanes for com-petition at the Monticello, it’ssmall and shallow, adding a newpool will have eight lanes. Wellsorry sir, but that kind of tells meyou really are building that mas-sive pool for the swim team andthat’ why I object to it and Ithink some other people also.
• I wanted to comment aboutthe townview in the farragut-press about our new logo of“LIVE CLOSER GO FURTHERfarragut.” No. 1 it’s interestingthe word “farragut” is not capi-talized, but talking to people youwill find that most people wholive within the city limits ofFarragut say they live inKnoxville. We have friends in allthe different areas and every
time you ask them where do youlive, they say Knoxville. We havefriends, who ask us where we livebecause it used to be Concord,then it was Knoxville, and wealways put Farragut becausewe’re proud to live in Farragut.We also are not recognized any-where that you call a place or setup an account with Amazon orany of those types of places, theycome up 37934 Knoxville. Wedon’t get fire protection, we don’tget free garbage, we don’t getpolice protection, we don’t get freetrash pickup, we have to pay forRural Metro, we don’t have fire andpolice and I just think it’s veryinteresting, we need to work ongetting people to realize thatFarragut is a place to be proud of.We need to say, we live in Farragut,Tenn., not Knoxville.

“Staybridge Suites is a greataddition to the Farragut commu-nity, as it offers visitors yetanother reason to stay overnightand enjoy all that our area has tooffer,” McGill said.
“I think it’s wonderful,”Burchett said about the hotel’sopening. “Growth within ourKnox County’s travel and tourismindustry continues to be an eco-nomic development asset.

Proposed development faces road concerns■ TAMMY CHEEK

Bryan E. Testerman receivedsome good news and bad newsconcerning his attempts to devel-op a subdivision at 430 VirtueRoad.
While Testerman would have lit-tle problem having the propertyredesignated on the Compre-hensive Land Use Plan andrezoned, he is facing the cost ofimprovements to Virtue Road.
“The road is going to have to bedealt with as part of the develop-ment,” Mark Shipley, FarragutCommunity Development direc-tor, said. “That would affect therezoning.”
“That road is a big deal,”Testerman said during a FarragutMunicipal Planning Commissionmeeting May 21. “I’m not in theroad business myself. I’m a homebuilder.”
Testerman, who is consideringbuying the 87.1 acres off VirtueRoad, submitted a request toamend town of Farragut’s Com-prehensive Land Use Plan frommedium-density residential toopen space cluster residential and
its zoning from agriculture to R-1Open Space Residential. So far,the requests have not been with-drawn, Shipley said Tuesday, July7.
“Basically, the property is theHarville property off of VirtueRoad,” Shipley said. “To the northis Sugarwood and to the south isKingsgate.”
Shipley said Virtue Road, simi-lar to Everett Road, does not meetTown standards as a major collec-tor road. “We do have a plan inplace [on Everett Road],’ he said.“We’re getting ready to improvethat road. We don’t have that inplace for this road. It would haveto be brought up to the standardsthat we require in our subdivisionregulations.”
Those improvements wouldinclude pedestrian facilities alongthe frontage.
“The staff would not supportany rezoning of the property with-out the noted improvements toVirtue Road,” he said, adding atraffic impact study is requiredalso.
“We’ve already had two or threemeetings with [Darryl Smith,Town engineer],” Testerman said.
“He’s supposed to come up withsome estimates on this road, andI’ve not heard a word yet.
“We’re talking about a piece ofproperty we don’t know will bedeveloped.”
Shipley said Smith has puttogether a proposal but the staff isstill looking at it.
“I think a month ought to beadequate to come up with an esti-mate,” Testerman said. “No one isholding you to it. I think I deserve
the same respect you all wantfrom me.
“I sit and listen to what youdemand of other people. I thinkyou all ought to do the same.”
“In all due respect, I don’t thinkit’s an easy calculation to deter-mine what the cost to improvethat road is,” Commissioner NoahMyers said. “We’ve tried to shot-gun our improvements before andour numbers have been signifi-cant off. We just want it to be fair.”
Suites a reality, including ThomasBuilders, contractor on the proj-
ect, and Capital Bank,” Stokelysaid.

Bryan E. Testerman of Knoxville faces expenses to improveVirtue Road if he builds a housing development at 430 VirtueRoad. Testerman applied for an amendment to Farragut’sComprehensive Land Use Plan and a rezoning request for thatsite. So far, the requests have not been withdrawn.

Dover said that he wasn’t sur-prised by the warm welcome hereceived from the Admiral family.
“I grew up here and this is agreat community,” he said. “Theyjust do things like this.”
During his playing days atFarragut, Dover played forLindsay (who remains the girlscoach) and Lindsay rememberedDover as a star player and greatperson.
“This is the first time that I’m
seen him in a while,” Lindsay saidof his former star who served as ateam captain and was an all-Knoxville Interscholastic Leaguestandout. “He was a great playerand he was a good kid too.
“He scored a goal in the StateChampionship Game and hestarted after that.”

Dover.“We found a good one in James
Ray Dover,” Dodgen said. “I hadhim in class.
“Mrs. Thompson and I wereimpressed with him during theinterview process. He under-stands the Farragut soccer pro-gram and he understands theFarragut academic program. Hewill maintain our program theway it has been maintained. He’llkeep it going.”
Thompson echoed Dodgen’ssentiments.
“We are absolutely thrilled to
have Ray join the Farragut familyas a coach,” she said. “What Raybrings is not only a high expecta-tion; he has a vision of growingstudent athletes into soccer play-ers and great young men.
“We’re a grower of young men ofcharacter.”
Thompson said that Dover han-dled a rigorous interview process.
“That’s a testament to thekind of person that we wanted to
head our boys soccer program,”Thompson said.
Monday night was Dover’s firstopportunity to meet some return-ers from Farragut’s 2015 squadthat lost in the Region 2-AAAsemifinals to Oak Ridge and he
told those returners that he willbuild a culture of accountabilityand poise.
“We are going to be poisedwhen we deal with officials,” hesaid. “If we have a bad call goagainst us in the StateChampionship Game, we’re goingto overcome it.
“We’re going to have a cultureof accountability and winningcomes with that culture ofaccountability. We’re going to beeverywhere 10 minutes early. Ifpractice starts at 10 after four,and it will, we’re going to be hereare 4 o’clock with our shirtstucked in and we’re going to beready to go.”
“hated to sound like a sore loser,”but he preferred a better finish.
“Last night got a little bit diffi-cult on us,” Burdette said. “Theweather muddied-up our boat.Unfortunately after getting sever-al inches of rain throughout theweek, the upper end of FortLoudoun where we were plan-ning on going was real, realmuddy, so fish aren’t biting verygood; the water temperaturedropped several degrees and itjust made our bite tough so weactually had to scrap our entire game plan and dosomething different and lastnight was a product of just ourknowledge of the lake just ‘fly-off-the-seat-of-our-pants-type’ offishing.”
The FHS fishing team founder,though, saw a plus in Saturday’s fin-ish: his alternative game-planning.
“It’s always a good feeling tocompletely scrap a game planand still be able to cash a check.We were hoping to catch some-
thing a little better based on whatwe’ve been catching the last fewyears and also the last few weeks,but you know it doesn’t alwayshappen like that; you can’t fish aperfect tournament.”
The event honors late localangler Gary Lindsey who died in aboating accident in 2009.Proceeds from the event are splitbetween the Smoky MountainService Dogs group, which helpsdisabled American veterans, andthe Blount Special OperationsResponse Team, which does res-cue dives to recover importantitems lost underwater and groundsearch missions.

Scott and Kelli Jablonski havelearned two very important things in six years: patience and,as Scott Jablonski said, “if you’rehaving a bad day, it’s not so bad.”
Their 6 year-old son, Garrett,was diagnosed in January 2014with a rapidly degenerative andterminal illness called SanfilippoSyndrome or MPS III A, namedafter one of the doctors whodescribed the condition in 1963.
“Cells in the body break downthen there’s enzymes in the body
that get rid of the cells,” ScottJablonski said. “He doesn’t pro-duce the enzymes. Therefore thedead cells build up in his body andit’ll affect his speech, his motorskills, eating ability, he’llinevitably go into a pediatricAlzheimer’s and then die.”
The disease usually has threemain stages: the child’s overactivebehavior, the gradual loss of lan-guage and understanding, and atendency to fall frequently, losingthe ability to walk.
Garrett’s positive energyaround the house, however, hashelped his parents see beyond
these obstacles.“He likes music,” Scott Jablon-
ski said, “and he likes to laugh.And he loves his trampoline. Nota whole lot of jumping; he kind ofjust runs around on it.”
Friends Holly and Chris DeF-ranco are helping the Jablon-skis’s cause as they organize the2nd Annual Guardians For GarrettDodgeball Tournament held atKnoxville Volleyball Academy,starting at 5 p.m., Friday, July 31,and staring at 3 p.m., Saturday,August 1. The event is back by

For Terrissa “Terrye” Danner,retiring as organist at ConcordUnited Methodist Church, Far-ragut, after serving for 30 years,is bittersweet.
While she and her husbandLarry Danner, are planning totravel she remembers thosewhom she accompanied on theorgan and those with whom sheserved.
To commemorate her service,CUMC’s adult choirs honored her with a dinner Tuesday, June2, at Gettysvue Country Club.About 80 people attended theevent. Among them were formerand current ministers and music directors, Phylis Garrison,church member, said.
“It was truly a joyous occa-sion,” Garrison added.
“The choir gave a lovely partyat Gettysvue,” Danner said. “Theygave me a plaque, which is on theorgan now. It’s one of the proud-est things given to me.”
Danner said she will haveserved the church for 30 yearsand five months when she leavesCUMC June 28. She first startedplaying in 1985.
“This position was never a job;it was a way to give back my tal-ent and to help lead in worship
every Sunday,” she said. “It’sbeen one of the biggest thrills tome.”
During those 30 years, Dannerhas served with six senior minis-ters, eight associate ministers,three full-time choir directors,four music associates and fourchildren’s choir directors.
“I had the privilege of accom-panying with some of the mosttalented, outstanding membersin the area and beyond,” shesaid. Some of the performers whotraveled to this area with whomshe accompanied were KnoxvilleSymphony Orchestra membersand opera singers.
One of the highlights of those30 years has been playing thechurch’s tracker pipe organ.
“We have a fabulous trackerorgan, an Opus 145, built by KarlWilhelm from Quebec, Canada,”she said. “The tracker itself is amechanical action organ. It wasbuilt for our sanctuary.”
The instrument contains 32ranks, two manuals, 1,650 pipesand 26 stops, Danner said.
“It’s an absolutely gorgeousinstrument,” she said. “It wasinstalled in late fall 1997 andfirst played in December 1997.”
Danner was the first to playthe instrument at that church.
“I was really kind of scared Iwouldn’t meet the standard I had

Twelve-year-old Owen Cian-ciolo pointed out one huge bene-fit of attending Two Blues STEMCamp.
“It keeps your brain alive dur-ing the summer so you’re not justsitting around wasting your brainon video games,” said Owen, arising seventh grader at FarragutMiddle School who attended hissecond consecutive Two Bluescamp.
A combined effort between the Science, Technology, Engi-neering and Mathematics depart-ments at Farragut High Schooland Hardin Valley Academy, thisyear’s camp was held at FHSMonday-Friday, June 15-19. It
drew 67 students who are risingsecond graders through risingseventh graders.
“We were dissecting rats, andthey’re pretty much the same asour body parts. It’s cool seeingsomething a little bit smallerthan what you are, and cool see-ing something you don’t get tosee every day,” said ArrionaDavis, an 11-year-old from HardinValley attending her third TwoBlues STEM Camp.
“We did some coding and wesome fun experiments [includ-ing] carbon dioxide bubbles, andit was really fun. Dissecting a ratwas a lot of fun,” Owen said. “Wealso did a hydraulic arm, whichyou can pick stuff up with andyou can move it around withhydraulics.”
Two of roughly 50 highschool volunteers were EmilyConstantin, a rising junior atFHS, and Sydnie Toler, a risingFHS senior.
“Math and science have alwaysbeen a passion for me, and I lovelittle kids,” Constantin said. “Ibaby-sit to make money so thiswas perfect. I was asked tobecause [Natalie] Sisk is one ofmy favorite teachers. I absolutelylove it, I love helping out and Ilove learning new things.”
Before becoming a volunteerfor Two Blues last year, whichwas held at HVA, “I thought I’d bewalking little kids to the bath-room,” Constantin said. “Instead,I get to learn new things every

There’s always a perfectly good reasonI was talking to a good friend of
mine who is definitely a BO (BornOrganized), and I asked her, “Haveyou ever not written a thank younote for a gift or for having a mealat someone’s house and such?”She answered immediately, “Ohno! Never! Energy drain!” She’s amassage therapist and has studieda great deal in the holistic healthfield. Shewent on, “IfI didn’t takecare of athank youas soon aspossible, Iwouldn’t beable to getmy mind offthe person.Why woulds o m e o n enot takecare of itr i g h taway?”
Well, Miss BO, here’s why! We’recreative. Our creativity gets in theway of getting a quickie thank you(it takes less than five minutes towrite a thank you note, address anenvelope and put a stamp on it) offin the mail.
We were devastated!Years ago, my sister’s neighbor
was killed in a freak accident (atree fell on him in his backyard)and we were all devastated. Hispoor wife was left with three smallchildren and our hearts were bro-ken for the family.
My sister spent an hour at the
Hallmark store looking for just theright sympathy card, but noneseemed to fit the situation. Shewent home and called me sayingshe’d like to write her own senti-ment and could I help her. Ofcourse I was moved to be part of athoughtful note to convey our sym-pathy. I told her to write some-thing and I would make it rhyme.
With the thought of a poeticepistle, she got the idea to applyher pen and ink techniques she’dlearned in an art class she’d takenin high school.
By the time she wrote the mes-sage and I made it rhyme, and shebrushed up on her calligraphyskills and found just the rightparchment paper and the perfectframe for the masterpiece, herfriend had remarried!
We hid behind a cereal dis-play in the grocery store!
She never got a single word frommy sister or me! And the guilt weboth carried caused us to hidebehind cereal displays at the gro-cery store when we saw her andlook the other way when passing inour cars. Once we got organizedwe decided, when you care enoughto send the very best, let Hallmarkdo it!
I was talking with my daughterPeggy today and I told her aboutthe woman who felt guilty becauseshe hadn’t sent out thank you notesfor her wedding gifts. (Her weddingwas 43 years ago and she’d beendivorced for 39 years.) Peggylaughed and said, “Oh mom, I’venever told you this before because
I’ve been too embarrassed, but Inever sent out thank you notes forthe baby shower for Jacob.” (Jacobturned 20 this year.)
She continued, “I know whathappened. I was eight and a halfmonths pregnant at the showerand I decided that when the babywas born I’d dress him in each out-fit, take a picture of him and putthe picture in each thank you note.Then, well you know what hap-pened. Papa died, Jake had tohave open-heart surgery and I wasa basket case for a long time.”
I said, “You know you could sendeach person a baby shower thankyou note now (you remembereveryone who was there) and slip alittle note in it that says, ‘Thankyou so much for the outfit you gaveme for Jacob. Unfortunately itdoesn’t fit him now, and if I couldexchange it for his size I don’tthink he’d wear it as he’s an internwith Microsoft and finishing up hissecond year at the University.”
Can you imagine getting a thankyou note like that? I would love it!Do you have a story to share withme? I’d love to know what kind ofthank you cards you owe and whatcame between you and the mail-box. You can email me [email protected].

popular demand.“Even the people who didn’t
register last year, like one of thesponsors, [said], ‘Is it coming upor what’s the information?’” KelliJablonski said.
“I was going through e-mailsfrom last year last night,” HollyDeFranco said. “and there wassomebody from last year who hade-mailed us talking about it, say-ing they had a friend in Nashvillewho (said) people were talking inNashville.”
In the tournament debut’s lastyear, the adult-division champion,the DodgeFathers, gave its firstplace trophy to Garrett and theevent raised over $20,000.
“Everybody had a great time,”
Chris DeFranco said. “We hadadults in fairy costumes, we hadgangster-kind of outfits, and themost creative costume winnerswere dressed in German lederho-sen. It should be bigger this year;I think last year, since it was thefirst year, people didn’t realizethe amount of dress-up that somepeople could do.”
An extra day and division wereadded this year; now there will bean 8-team 10-and-under, 8-teamteen and a 24-team adult divisionbracket—increased from 18teams last year. First-place prizeswill be also be given out to topdodgeball teams, fundraisers andmost creative.

Q: My neighbor was telling methat her pet recently had lasersurgery. I have never heard of that- is this common? Why would herpet havelaser sur-gery? R.S.,Farragut
A: Lasersurgery hasb e c o m eincreas ingcommon inveter inarymedicine forthe past 5-10years. At ourpractice, weuse the laserfor someprocedure almost every day.
There are multiple reasons whyyour neighbor’s pet (or any pet, forthat matter) would have laser sur-gery. When a laser is used for cut-ting instead of a scalpel blade,there is little or no blood loss. Alaser is ideal for surgery areas that
commonly bleed a lot, such as inthe ears or mouth.
A surgical laser sterilizes as itcuts, so the possibility of post-operative infections is decreased.The laser also is able to seal smalllymphatics when it cuts, so thereis typically less swelling after sur-gery.
In veterinary medicine, a car-bon dioxide laser is most common-ly used. It produces an invisiblebeam of light at a specific wave-length that can remove a preciselayer of tissue at once time. Theprecision that the laser allows iscertainly another advantage.
The many benefits of laser sur-gery can translate into your petbeing able to return to normalactivities more quickly. If your petshould need surgery, pet ownersshould discuss of the possibility oflaser surgery with their veterinari-an. The laser is not recommendedfor every procedure, and your vet-erinarian will be able to guide youif there is a benefit for you pet.

Danner said. “But, the biggest challenge is
the tracker organ had no pistons, and the electronic organdid,” she said. “The pistons allow you to set different sounds.They are automatically recorded.
The tracker doesn’t.”Danner graduated from the
UT in 1971 as an educator witha minor in piano. She studied the organ throughout a span of
20 years. “From the time I was in high
school I studied with Brock,” shesaid.
She has two daughters,
Christen Davis and ShannonStramel, and three grandchil-dren, all living in WashingtonState.
