The ordinance would mandate a formula-based road improve- ment fee for certain residential developments off Everett Road, Gary Palmer, Town assistant administrator, said.

The agreement with Farm- stead Developments required the developer to contribute to the cost of improving Everett Road based on a formula, Palmer said. In line with the agreement, he said the Town should collect a road improvement fee from simi- lar proposed residential develop- ments along Everett Road. “In order to pre-plan, promul- gate and move away from the individual cost-sharing agree- ments the Town has done in the past, we propose this uniform Everett Road Corridor Improvement Fee ordinance,” Palmer said.

resident for the rapid response byDavid Smoak, The BOMA, andpublic works department to ourroad repair. The new job looksgreat and the people accom-plished the repair in two days,which I appreciate. Thanks againfor listening and repairing!

• To the person who com-plained about the price “gouging”at the FBA sponsored Farragutfood festival a few weeks ago,please get your facts correct, asyou are way off base. I defy thecomplainer to go out to eat any-where in Knoxville and drink asmuch wine and beer as they wish,and eat food from Seasons,Longhorn, The Shrimp Dock,Aubreys, Big Kahuna and 20 otherquality places for $25. It cannotbe done. Further, the people whowork these events (volunteers)eat for free. So if you are unhappytry something unusual and volun-teer to work the event (ratherthan complain) and you can dosomething worthwhile for theTown and as well as eat and drinkfor free. The Farragut BusinessAlliance sponsors the event. Theirpeople work the event. Their peo-ple volunteer for the event. Theirpeople stay to midnight and cleanup the trash for free. Their peopleget paid zero for the event and doit to make Farragut the great townit is. Next year, I suggest, you stayhome, save your $50, and miss outon a great time, good fellowshipand helping the community.

We have deer that Ifeed in the winter, raccoons, rab-bits, squirrels, coyotes, etc. Theywill all parish [sic] when thisproperty is cleared to make wayfor a building project. Am I theonly one that cares about thesecreatures that God made???Please express yourself at thenext meeting if there are othersthat feel the way I do.

• I am calling about “The Tasteof Farragut,” the ticket priceswere $35 each and only one dollarfor each ticket went to SecondHarvest [Food Bank of EastTennessee]. Where did the rest ofthe money go?

• I read in the farragutpressthat the Farragut Food Festivalcollected one dollar per tickettotal for Second Harvest [FoodBank of East Tennessee]. Theticket prices for the FarragutFood Festival were up to $35 apiece. This is ridiculous. I thinkthere should be an accounting forwhere this money is going. No oneshould go to this festival expect-ing it to be a charity event andonly one dollar out of 35 going toSecond Harvest.

• The Farragut Food Festivalhad 1,300 people in attendanceaccording to the farragutpress.The ticket were $25 in advance,$30 at the event and yes, therewere some children’s tickets. Butthey grossed $30,000 or more inticket sales and the farragutpressreported the following week thatit was a success and they raisedan entire $1,000 for SecondHarvest Food Bank [of EastTennessee].

Bradshaw, newly elected as ofSept. 1, joined “six out of 10 newcommissioners” who took swiftaction to lift the ban.

“The gun ban had been inplace in our county buildingssince 2007,” Bradshaw said. “…Unanimously, a 10-0 vote, wepulled the gun signs down.”

After the meeting, Bradshawsaid, “You can carry in any coun-ty office building except the twocourthouses, and that includes

ETCH seeks homemade art, supplies for patients■ TAMMY CHEEK

Farragut residents can helpbrighten up the holidays for chil-dren in East Tennessee Child-ren’s Hospital this season.

Parents can spend time withtheir children creating home-made artwork and then bring inor mail the drawings before 5p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 17, to far-ragutpress, 11863 Kingston Pike,Farragut, TN 37934.

Donations on Saturday,November 15, 2014 also can bebrought in to farragutpressbefore the deadline.

The drawings and donationswill be delivered to East Tenn-essee Children’s Hospital Volun-teer Services.

“I think it’s wonderful,” CherylAllmon, ETCH director of volun-teer services and programs, said.“It’s a children’s hospital and

what a better way to express thatthan to make it look bright,cheery and welcoming.”

The drawings will be displayedin farragutpress front lobbybefore being taken to Children’sHospital, displayed and given toyoung patients.

Residents also can donate thefollowing needed items: cleanand used clothing for any age,sweat pants for ages from infantsto extra-large, new socks andunderwear, sample-sized toi-letries, toys and craft supplies,food pantry items, microwavablemeals and prepackaged granolabars.

“And, of course, toys forChristmas are always welcome,”Allmon said. “All donations comethrough the volunteer servicesoffice, so any donations thatcome in are processed throughour offices and then distributedthroughout the hospital and out-

lying areas.”Farragutpress teamed up with

Zaxby’s of Farragut to help thehospital collect the drawings anddonations. Sandra Getley, classi-fied account executive, said sev-eral members of farragutpressstaff came up with the idea.

“We all thought it was a nicething to do for the children stuckin the hospital during the holi-days,” Getley said. “We want tofill the hospital with drawings.We would like the children tofeel the love of the Farragut com-munity and let them know peo-ple are thinking of them.”

“Our young patients need toknow there are people who careabout them and are thinking ofthem,” Allmon said. “It instillsthat giving-back nature in thechildren who are making the pic-tures to send here.”

school buses on Tipton Road. Wecalled [Knox County] Sheriff’sOffice.

Thomas added hearing aboutthose complaints led to havingmore cars patrolling TiptonRoad.

“I’m glad we were there [atthe last meeting] and got thatinformation,” he said.

Bill Deatherage of Farragutasked the commissoners’ opin-ions about guns in parks. He saidhe knew Loudon County officialsallow people to carry guns in

parks. “You wouldn’t want your wife

going to the park at night whenthe bad guys have a gun and youdon’t,” he added. “I wanted tosee what [the commissioners]thought about it.”

Some residents came to visitrather than express concerns.

“I grew up at Old Stage Hills,”David Posy said. “I knew theseguys. I just came to see them andhave a beer with them.”Snapper Morgan, who lives on

Ebineezer Road in WestKnoxville, said he saw the meet-ing listed online and decided tocome to the meeting.

While sweeping GraingerCounty in its varsity basketballhome season openers Saturdaynight, Bearden’s boys and girlshit the accelerator pedal at dif-ferent times.

Justin Underwood’s LadyBulldogs actually trailed for

much ofthe firsttwo-and-half quar-

ters before a late third-quarterspurt — with crisp passing,deadeye shooting and dominant

rebounding and board work fromthen on — turned the tide Nov.14.

“The first half we looked likewe were sleepwalking, the gymwas really quiet,” Underwood,BHS head coach, said about a 70-60 win. “I challenged them athalftime to really come out com-

municating with each other onthe floor and try and share the

basket-ball. Theydid thatreally well

for about a quarter-and-a-half.”Both Grainger teams fell to 1-1.

Meanwhile, a pair of juniors

sparked Mark Blevins’ Beardenboys after the visiting Grizzlieswere tied with the Bulldogs 14-14after one period.

“We had two exceptionalgames: Quez Fair had a greatdefensive/offensive game. He

Jones was 2-of-2 on extra points. Defensively, KCHS sophomore

cornerback Jeffrey Woodsgrabbedan inter-ception.

“Weknew they were going to comeout and make some plays, andthey did early on,” Jancek said.“They took our momentum away.... They’re just the best teamright now.”

Corey Ostrowski, Irish seniordefensive lineman, said Fulton“is athletic, and we just didn’trise to the occasion like Ithought we would.”

Lacey, also a senior inside line-backer, said about Fulton,“They’ve got a lot of athletes. Wejust gave up the big plays.”

Rob Black, Fulton head coach,said that while Catholic “wasgood on both sides of the ball,”he was especially concernedabout the Irish defensive front. “Iwas hoping we’d be able to movethem a little bit. I thought ourguys played well,” he said. “Wehad some guys step up up front.

… We were able to get to thesecond level, or on the edgeenough times to make that reallybe what the key was in thegame,” Black added.

A 94-yard run by Fulton full-back D.J. Campbell set up thefirst Falcons score at the KCHS 2on its second possession.

A lot of Catholic supporters onthe sidelines, in addition to aloud response in the Irish stands,thought Campbell fumbled whilebeing tackled. Catholic recoveredbut the officials blew the playdead.

Though Matthews said he wasunsure about that call, “I thoughtthere could have been a coupleof pass interference [calls],” headded.

However, concerning the out-come, “The refs didn’t have any-thing to do with the game,”Matthews said.

Kentel Williams caught a 65-yard pass making it 13-0. A 42-yard pass to K.J. Roper set up thenext TD. It was 30-7 at halftime.

Webb School of Knoxville foot-ball head coach David Meskeexpects Brant Mitchell to makebig plays, and the senior fullbackand linebacker usually deliversas he did Friday night.

“I was really proud of BrantMitchell,” Meske said afterMitchell led Webb to a 62-20 vic-tory over Davidson Academy in

the TSSAA Division II-A StateQuarterfinals. “He was outstand-ing.

“He played great on the offen-sive anddefensiveside.”

Thatwas perhaps the understatementof the 2014 football season asMitchell scored four touchdownsand rushed for 145 yards on 12carries in the first half of the

game against the Bears (5-7).Mitchell wasted little time

making an impact for theSpartans (7-3), who began theirmarch toward a third consecu-tive state title and fifth champi-onship in six years.

He scored on Webb’s first threepossessions and helped theSpartans open a 21-0 early in thesecond quarter.

Mitchell gave Webb a 7-0 leadon the game’s opening possession

with a 9-yard run. His inauguraltouchdown run of the eveningculminated a 10-play, 64-yarddrive that consumed nearly fiveminutes.

And that was only the begin-ning.

After Alexander Berube inter-cepted a pass from DavidsonAcademy quarterback DakotaQuinn, it didn’t take long for theSpartans — and Mitchell — tocash in on the turnover.

Mitchell’s 67-yard scoringscamper gave Webb a 14-0 leadwith 2 minutes, 58 secondsremaining in the opening frame.He scored his third rushingtouchdown early in the secondquarter to give the Spartans a 21-0 lead and all but put the gameout of reach.

It didn’t seem to matter thatKnoxville Catholic’s defensewould come up with a number ofimpressive stops against light-ning fast Fulton Friday night.

The two-time defending Class4A state champion Falcons sim-ply broke a series of long scoringplays, their trademark, duringthis chilly Nov. 14 second roundTSSAA playoff game.

Also effective in largely takingaway the Irish deep passinggame, while keeping explosivesophomore running back AmariRodgers in check most of theway, top-ranked and undefeatedFulton rolled to a 51-14 homevictory.

Catholic’s season ends with a10-2 record. Fulton extends theprogram’s winning streak to 33.

Steve Matthews, Irish headcoach, said Fulton’s speed “waskind of a shock to our systemearly on both sides of the ball.

“Our defense, I thought, set-tled down and started playing alittle bit better,” Matthewsadded. “Offensively they justmake things so tough on you.They basically put everybody atthe line of scrimmage and makeyou throw it over their head inorder to move the ball. We hit afew, but we missed more than wehit. … I do think they’re so phys-ical in the secondary.

“Things kind of snowballedfrom there. They’ve just got ath-letes all over the field and theywere the better football teamtonight.”

Catholic scored on a 62-yardpass from senior quarterbackZac Jancek to Rodgers, cuttingthe Fulton lead to 13-7 midwayinto the first quarter.

A 36-yard run from seniorLogan Lacey and a nice, leaping29-yard touchdown reception bysenior Dom Souder were high-lights of Catholic’s other scoringdrive, which ended with 1:21 leftin the third quarter.

Davis scored a game-high 18points while Bekah Hampton andAbbey Cornelius added 10 pointseach as HVA made short work ofCentral.

The Lady Hawks (1-0) used astifling pressure defense to openan early 16-0 lead midwaythrough the first quarter. “It’salways nice to start the season offstrong,” HVA head coach JenniferGalloway said. “It’s nice to seehow everybody reacts.

“I thought that we took care ofthe basketball and I thought wewere sharp and focused ondefense. Our defense led to someeasy baskets.”

The Lady Bobcats struggled toget the ball past half-court earlyand Hardin Valley took advantageof Central’s youth and lack of size.

Senior Brooklyn Battle’s 3-pointer opened the scoring andHampton had eight points in thefirst quarter, including a pair ofbaskets that helped the LadyHawks open the 16-0 lead theyenjoyed at the 4:36 mark of the

opening frame. HVA opened a 22-0 lead before Central’s StephanieChildress buried a 3-pointer with2 minutes remaining in the open-ing frame.

Hardin Valley, which had a 27-8lead by first quarter’s end, surren-dered just two points in the sec-ond stanza and didn’t allow a fieldgoal. Keeley Yeary’s free throwsrepresented all of Central’soffense in the period.

“We’ve worked really hard andthis feels really good,” Davis said.“I thought we played a good teamgame.”

Cornelius agreed. “This was agreat win and all of our hard workover the last three weeks has paidoff,” she said. “I thought weplayed well.”

The Lady Hawks had a bal-anced scoring attack asSymphony Buxton scored eightpoints. Battle added seven andOlivia Wyatt finished with six.

The HVA boys also posted animpressive win. The Hawks (1-0)also employed a stifling defenseto open an early 15-4 lead. HardinValley forced the Bobcats into sixturnovers on Central’s first eight

possessions.“Our pressure is part of what

we’re doing this year,” seniorBlake Shockley said. “We’re tryingto speed them up and createturnovers.

“It was our first game and wewere kind of hyped up and wewanted to play the best game wecould.”

The gameplan worked as theHawks scored points in bunchesen route to opening a 33-18 leadby the end of the opening frame.At one point, the Bobcats clawedto within 19-15 before the Hawksscored 14 straight points.

“We wanted to force turnoversand that was the game plantonight,” said senior guard CalebClevenger, who scored 13 points,including a half-court jumper astime expired in the third quarter.

Shockley also had 13 points,including three 3-pointers. JuniorTyler Durden finished with 12points. Jason Love had nine.

Seth Long scored eight. HunterCanon, Tyler Thompson, JordanMcCroskey and Tristan Neilsonscored six points each.

As good as the Knights lookedin a 9-2 win against Farragut toopen the KAHA High SchoolLeague season, “I don’t think ourteam gave much of an effort.”

That was only one sentence ofmany critical comments fromFHS head coach Jeff Lindsay fol-

lowing the Thursday, Nov. 13,game in the Icearium.“Offensively we didn’t pressurethem with the puck, we juststood back and let them skate itout.

“Defensively we backed rightin,” Lindsay added. “Our goalie[Tatum McGill] made some goodsaves, but she didn’t get a wholelot of help. I don’t know if it was

first-game jitters or what.“We really did not play good.” Farragut goals came from

freshmanJ o h nBarckhoffin the

first period and junior StevenPopovich in the third. Both goalswere assisted by senior KyleLindsay. The Knights led in

shots-on-goal 27-12.Coach Lindsay did say his

freshmen “played well and theystuck in there,” while sophomoreParker Miller, a first-year FHSplayer, “had a good game.”

“We had a lot of breaks indefense initially, and our for-wards weren’t back-checking atall to get back on their men,”Popovich, center/right wing,

said. “And basically we let theirbest players skate through usand just get to our goalie and getopen shots.”

Kyle Lindsay, senior defense-man, agreed. “We had a break-down in defense,” he said. “We’rea young team this year, a lot offreshmen, and they had to getgrounded in the high schoolleague.”

ment and he’s supposed to makethose kinds of plays,” Meske saidof his senior. “He’s a Division Ifootball player, so he needs toplay that way.”

Mitchell also got plenty of helpfrom fellow senior LiamWilloughby. The tight end anddefensive end caught a 17-yardtouchdown pass from BrockBeeler to extend the Spartans’advantage to 28-0 midwaythrough the second stanza.

Willoughby also made key tack-les and sacks on defense.

“It was a highlight film forLiam Willoughby tonight,” Meskesaid. “He made plays on offenseand defense. On special teams, hewas out there making plays all

over the place.”Webb got its final touchdown of

the first half when Beeler scoredon a 40-yard punt return.

The Bears pulled to within 35-7late in the half when JacksonBroadwell recovered a team-mate’s fumble in the end zone.

In the second half, Webb con-tinued to dominate. JuwaanJefferson, Thomas Jordan andBryson Glenn had rushing touch-downs.

Taking the chance she could ac-tually make The University of Ten-nessee Cheerleading Squad, TessWaibel had to bypass her seniorprom at Farragut High School inlate April.

“It was definitely challenging,but I had confidence and faith itwould work out,” said Waibel, a UTfreshman and one of 16 cheerlead-ers among “about 65 trying out” tomake the squad. “I was happy withthe preparation I had put into it.”

In fact, “I had a good time. Ithought it was almost fun to kindof finally get to jump into the

Tennessee Cheerleading world,”Waibel added.

About missing senior prom,“Now I wouldn’t second guess thatdecision at all,” said Waibel, wholabeled herself “definitely a UTfan” before even being accepted asa student.

It was a family atmosphere atParkview Senior Living Comm-unity in Farragut Friday afternoon,Oct. 3, where Waibel was one of sixVols Cheerleaders plus five mem-bers of UT Dance Team, along with“human” mascot, Smokey, whocame to fire up senior residentsone day before UT’s home footballgame against Florida.

Waibel seemed quite at home

mingling and talking withParkview residents. Two of thosewere Harry Kirk and RogerAmann. “This was pretty nice, Ithink everybody enjoyed it,” Kirksaid. “It’s nice they came andtalked to us.”

“They were sweet and happy tohave us here,” Waibel said. “It isfun for us, too. … I love doingthese types of things.”

Though Waibel, 18, hasn’t beenalong for any football road gamecheering, she stays busy as a Volscheerleader: the squad also cheersfor UT Volleyball, Men’s Basketballand Women’s Basketball teams.

While Hardin Valley Aca-demy’s recent participation inTSSAA Class AAA Girls SoccerState Tournament closes thedoor on high school soccer forthe calendar year locally, thesubject of concussions in thesport is quite an open door ofopinions.

If not a remedy for the prob-lem, at least one area highschool girls team (Loudon) andindividual players from at least afew other girls teams havedonned protective headwear.

“I know in youth soccer, Icoach a U-12 FC Alliance boysyouth travel team as well. … Sowhat some of my parents havedone so that [a concussion]doesn’t happen is they’ve boughtthem some headgear to wearduring the game,” Mike McLean,HVA girls and boys soccer headcoach, said.

Though McLean said, “Ihaven’t heard any proof yet”that such headgear does helpprevent concussions, he addedhe’s been encouraged becauseof Great Britain soccer star goal-keeper Peter Chek. “He’s had afew concussions being a profes-sional keeper, and he’s beenwearing that for a few years nowand it doesn’t affect his game atall and he’s been able to play,”McLean said. “It was almostgoing to end his career becauseof concussions.”

Ryan Radcliffe, Bearden HighSchool girls and boys soccerhead coach, estimated that“within five years I would sayyou could come to a [highschool] soccer game and see amajority of the girls wearing it.

“I haven’t heard that theheadgear doesn’t work.”

“Three or four” Maryville HighSchool girls players — whoRadcliffe said he coaches onKnoxville Crush U-16 club level— wore headgear this past sea-son. Asking one of those girlswhy she wore it, “She said, ‘I goup for a lot of headers. It’s justprevention,’” Radcliffe said.

Radcliffe said he had “threeor four” of his BHS LadyBulldogs players who suffered

This 2011 HVA graduate, a two-time South Atlantic ConferenceAll-Academic Football Team hon-oree (3.3 grade point average)while in his third season as astarting outside linebacker for theScots, established Hawks OriginalTeam Scholarship, $500, in 2013.

The scholarship money is col-lected by Krebs, an MC senior, -from the po-ckets of him-self and ot-her membersof Hardin Va-lley’s first va-rsity and jun-ior varsity fo-otball teamsin 2008 and2009, respec-tively.

Jack DeFur, HVA Class of 2014graduate who earned a footballscholarship to East TennesseeState University (which is startingup its football program nextschool year), was the inauguralHOT Scholarship recipient.

seniors inquiring about theNashville-based university.

Even a few sophomores andfreshman could be found askingquestions at various schooltables, including VU.

Alex Galindo was one of thoseyounger ones, an FHS freshmanon hand “to, like, see what I needto do” to prepare for college. “Totake rigorous classes. Like whatkind of ACT and SAT scores Ineed to get to be able to beaccepted into private colleges.”

Among a jam-packed FHSCommons filled with hundreds ofhigh school students and theirparents — mostly from FHS,

Hardin Valley Academy andBearden High School — Galindosaid he asked Vanderbilt under-graduate admissions representa-tive Mary Beth Tift “what theyconsider, what they take intoaccount” when accepting highschool seniors.

“Like the people that getaccepted, how far along they arein their education?”

Vanderbilt’s applicant accept-ance rate “is really, really low,”Galindo said. “That’s a very com-petitive school.”

Galindo, 14, accompanied byhis mother, Laura Galindo, saidhe also visited tables represent-ing the University of Pennsylva-nia (the only Ivy League schoolrepresented), Mercer and the

University of South Carolina. “I think a student, on their

own, can come to each one oftheir events and have a learningopportunity and build on it eachconsecutive year,” Laura Galindosaid.

Zane Joyeuse, a 17-year-oldHVA senior, said he’s looking to“study abroad” for his major in“international relations” and islooking for schools with top inter-national programs. “I hopefullywant to enter into either civilservice, such as a foreign diplo-mat, or to become a derivativestrader.”

Joyeuse quoted his grade pointaverage as 4.3 (weighted) and3.96 (unweighted).

Penn appealed to Joyeuse

because “I’m really interested inthe ability for me to study abroad[within] its International pro-gram,” he said. “Along with theincredibly diverse student body.”

As for Purdue, “I love the close-ness of the major cities” nearWest Lafayette, Ind. “along withthe major research opportunitiesavailable. And how it’s one of thetop-ranked schools in thenation.”

Theo Baudry, 16, a BeardenHigh School junior, said being atCollege Fair proved to be an aca-demic wake-up call.

An NJROTC cadet at BHS,Baudry said visiting the militaryacademies representatives “str-uck me with what they’ve accom-plished in their lives,” adding

that College Night made himdetermined to improve hisgrades.

“My goal would be to be in theNaval Academy,” building towarda career as “a Naval pilot.”

“But there’s still a lot for me to doand accomplish for that to happen.… I need to work on my grades alittle more. I get B’s, not A’s.”

Baudry said retired U.S.Marines Maj. Belinda Twohig,Bearden NJROTC Senior NavalScience instructor, “Is the onewho actually made me want to bein the military. And Chief[Randy] Dickson,” Naval Scienceinstructor.

Will your Thanksgiving Day feast be organized? Or not?From late October into

November, “Those seasons over-lap,” Waibel, a journalism major,said. “It’s been challenging but Ithink it’s also, like, taught me timemanagement, which was a lesson Ineeded to learn.”

“Prior to Tess auditioning for acheerleading position at theUniversity of Tennessee, she attend-ed many of our college prep work-shops. During those workshops not

only did I observe her potential skilllevel to become a Tennessee cheer-leader, but her many other attrib-utes that play such an importantrole of becoming a Tennessee cheer-leader,” Joy Postell-Gee, UT SpiritProgram head coach, said. “… Tesshas strong character and is a verydisciplined student-athlete. Herdedication on and off the field/courtas well as in the classroom is exem-plary. Her passion truly embracesthe kind of ambassador we are seek-ing as a spirit member at theUniversity of Tennessee.”

Fourth- and fifth-grade stu-dents served as ambassadors towelcome guests. “The total school

community helps to make ourgrandparents feel honored andwelcomed to our school,” Stylessaid.

For the students who did nothave grandparents who couldattend, Cline said the schoolalways has grandparents who will-ingly “adopt” additional grand-children.

“They are fantastic,” Cline said.

concussions during the team’sjust-completed 2014 season. “Yousee it a lot more in girls, I don’tknow why,” Radcliffe added.

Dennis Lindsay, FHS headcoach, simply said, “I don’t knowif the headgear does any good or

not. They haven’t shown anythingto prove its one way of the other,have they?”

As for girls being more vulner-able to concussions, “I don’tknow that gender has anything todo with it,” Lindsay said.

Dr. William Snyder Jr., neuro-surgeon at The University ofTennessee Medical Center, said

about concussions, “They’re look-ing more closely at soccer nowbecause off all the trauma fromthe heading of the soccer ball. …The ball hitting your head is ablow to the brain. … When yourskull moves very quickly, thebrain will lag behind and it willsort of bounce against both sides[of the skull].”

Headgear “may help some,”Snyder said. “If it can deceleratethe ball before it gets to yourhead, it may affect how hard youcan hit the ball.”

“I would think a girl might be alittle more susceptible; part ofthe reason would be because thehead and the neck are just not asstrong,” he added. “… Typically

for boys and girls, the youngeryou are the more susceptibleyour are. A 12-year old versus a15 or 16-year-old would be moresusceptible. … The brain is stilldeveloping.

“When you get 18 to 20 youbecome a little less susceptibleto concussions.”

Turning hobby into a professionWORKING JOE:

■ ALAN [email protected]

Martin Sykes received theopportunity of a lifetime in 2006.

He got to convert found memo-ries, such as “being the ‘birddog’” when dove hunting with hisfather and uncle as a 12-year-old,into a profession.

A firearms sales associate inthe hunting department atGander Mtn., Far-ragut locationoff Parkside Drive, “It was anopportunity to convert my hobbyinto a paying profession. … Thisis fun,” Sykes, 62, said about hismore than eight years there. “Ilook forward to coming to work.”

Based on glowing feedback ofSykes’ salesmanship from one

customer, which was unsolicitedwhile pointing out detail abouthis stellar assistance, Sykes wasn a m e dnationwidecorporate“Employeeof the We-ek” earlierthis year.

T h o u g hhaving pre-vious sales-man train-ing and experience, “This was myfirst venture into retail sales,”Sykes said. “I had a fairly goodbackground in firearms, targetshooting and hunting,”

Sykes has been at the Farragutlocation “the whole time” it has

been open. An avid hunter, Sykes said he

was on “the mailing list” forGander Mtn. Catalog Co. beforebeing hired. “They always hadgood products,” Sykes, who nor-mally works Tuesdays throughSaturdays, said. “I heard thatthey were going to have a storeopening in Knoxville [metroarea], and I said, ‘What betteruse of my time than to go workfor Gander?’”

Sykes said he enjoys workingnot only with the experienced,knowledgeable Gander Mtn.hunting and firearms customers,but also “folks who are completenovices, maybe never had anyexposure to firearms or to hunt-ing except what they’ve seen on

TV on in the movies.”On firearms, for example,

“When I’m talking to them I’llgive them kind of a firearms 101,”Sykes added. “… It’s a realopportunity to share my experi-ences with someone who’s hadnone. That’s probably close to 15percent” of Gander customers.

“I get to teach, I get to preach,I get to prance, I get to dance,”Sykes added. “… I think what Ienjoy the most about what I’mdoing is when you get a customerin, or a couple, and something’shappened in the neighborhood,or to a friend or to a relative. Andthey’re concerned about theirsafety.

“I try to help them find whatthey need, to help make them

feel secure,” which, he added,could range from “a personal pro-tection handgun or home protec-tion shotgun” to “pepper spray.”

One couple, beginners withtarget shooting, that Sykes assist-ed came back and told him a fewdays later, ‘We’ve got a bone topick with you,’” Sykes said.

“I thought, My gosh, what haveI done?’ And they said, ‘You nevertold us it was going to be fun.’”

Overall at Gander, “It’s a verypleasant working environment,”he said.

Sykes is engaged, with themarriage set for January, toSharon McNeal. He has one son,Jonathan Sykes.

From hunting as a child to corporate ‘Employee of the Month,’ Sykes loves his job in firearm sales

“Me and other alumni helpchoose the best applicant,” Krebs,who also is working to earn a jujit-su black belt, said. “Most of [HVAalumni] are either in college orjust starting off our workingcareers. Hopefully, as the years goby, we can afford to give a little bitmore.”

“Josh is about as good as itgets,” Kandis Schram, MC athleticdirector, said. “He is a stand-upstudent-athlete and one thatwe’re proud to call one of ourown.”

“In high school, Hardin ValleyAcademy was a challengingschool,” Krebs, a finance account-ing major with a minor in econom-

ics, said. “That’s when I developedmy own study skills and things tothat matter that helped me figureout what I needed to do well in myclasses.

“One class in particular, my APliterature class my senior year inhigh school, which I am so thank-ful I had that class,” Krebs, 21,added. “My teacher, Mrs. Swe-eney, was a Maryville Collegegraduate. She had us writing somuch. We wrote several, severalpapers. … When I got to Maryvillewe were writing almost as much.And people [at MC] were com-plaining about it every day, but itwas actually normal to me. I couldhandle it a lot better than somepeople.”

On the football field at HVA,Krebs singled out football head

coach Wes Jones and one otherHawks coach for credit.

“Coach [Paul] Maynard, he waslinebackers coach and defensivecoordinator, he taught me somuch in the way of the mentalaspect of the game, which hashelped me learn the intricacies ofcollege football like schemes,”Krebs said. “… He was the firstcoach I ever had that impactedme in that sense of the game.”

Jones said Krebs, a former teammost valuable player at HVA as afullback and linebacker, “is a fan-tastic young man and a tough-nosed kid. I can’t say enough goodthings about him as a footballplayer and as a person.”

Jones recalls just how Krebsfirst came up with the idea in thesummer of 2012.

“He said, ‘hey coach I got thisidea about putting together ascholarship,’” Jones said. “…Last year he did all the paper-

work, came up with an interviewprocess and put it together andpresented it to Jack DeFur lastyear.”

Sea Scouts members, from left, Justin Douthat, SidanniDeFranco, Nick Koob, C.J. DeFranco and Cassidy Walker take awinter sailing trip. Scouts meet year round and sail wheneverthe weather permits.

■ TAMMY CHEEK [email protected]

Sea Scouting is probably thebest-kept secret in East Ten-nessee, George Hubbell, commit-tee chairman of Sea Scout Ship300, said.

Sea Scout Ship 300 covers theFarragut and surrounding area.Hubbell, executive officer repre-senting Concord Yacht Club,which sponsors Ship 300, said SeaScouts use the term “ship” as theBoy Scouts use “troop.”

Carter Busby, 13, said he joinedthe Sea Scouts because he alwaysliked sailing. Busby said what heliked most about the organizationis making new friends and learn-ing more sailing skills.

“Sailing is always a learningexperience,” Hubbell said. “Theweather is never exactly the samefrom day to day. Sea Scouts learnfrom one another, a key part of theprogram since its beginning in1912.”

Justin Douthat, 16, theboatswain’s mate, said he learnedabout the organization fromanother Sea Scout.

“I was into sailing already,”Douthat said. “I learn a lot ofessential sailing skills, knowledgeand it’s fun.”

Jeremy Driver, 13, said he hadprevious experience with a sailcamp and joined Sea Scoutsbecause he enjoyed sailing.

John Walker, 17, the boatswainfor Ship 300, said he had just got-ten out of a sail camp and waslooking for something to dobesides soccer and baseball whenhe joined the Sea Scouts.

The Sea Scouts, which are partof Boy Scouts of America, are seek-ing new members to join in theorganization, with which they canlearn to sail and gain lifelongskills, Hubbell said.

Membership is open to boys andgirls, ages 13 and eighth grade to age21, he said. These scouts meet 1:30p.m., Sunday afternoons each week,year round, at Concord Yacht Club,111600 Northshore Drive.

The membership fee is $25, butis free to registered Boy Scouts,Hubbell said. Sea Scouts 300 wasstarted in 2002.

“Every Scout [group] has a civic

organization, church or communi-ty group that sponsors the group,”Hubbell said, adding for Ship 300,it is the yacht club, which spon-sored it as an outreach programinto the community.

“Sea Scouting opens manyopportunities for boys and girls tolearn sailing, rules of the road onthe water and maritime heritage,”Hubbell said. “It is a fun, mostlyoutdoor activity.”

Among the activities in whichmembers have an opportunity toparticipate is an internationalsailing competition.

“Sailing with local Sea Scoutsin a world-class unit is not justracing,” Hubbell said. “While Ship300 has crews who competed inworld competition at theInternational Sea Scout SailingCut Regatta held every two years,[Ship 300] mostly enjoys sailing,the outdoors and water sports.”

For instance, Sept. 13 and Sept.14, Hubbell said Ship 300 mem-bers sailed an overnight cruisefrom Concord Yacht Club to a
