First reading of ordinancesapproved by BOMA

Farragut Board of Mayorand Aldermen approved itsfirst reading of 12 newInternational BuildingCodes during its Thursday,April 11 meeting.
According to Townadministrator DavidSmoak, the Town isrequired to update codesevery seven years.
“We try to make changesthe same time as KnoxCounty and the City of
Knoxville to make it easierfor people who are doingbusiness in our area,”Smoak said. “The mainchanges are to the energycodes to make buildingsmore energy efficient …something a lot of buildersare doing now any way.”
Proposed Ordinance 13-08 would require tighterduct work in new construc-tions, by increasing theregulated duct tightnessstandards over the nextthree years.
A required, cutting edge
duct leakage test wouldallow builders to produceincreasingly more efficientbuildings, preventing airleakage both in and out-side of homes and busi-nesses.
Additionally, a blowerdoor test would givebuilders insight into whereair is escaping, helpingensure more energy effi-ciency and tightening upthe building envelope,keeping hot or cold airStephanie Edwards

Farragut Municipal Planning Commission unanimouslyapproved a motion to look at amending the CapitalInvestment Plan to shift item priorities.
“I’ll make a motion then that we look at amending theCIP plan to reprioritize these four items: to makeimprovement of Everett Road to the entrance of Split RailFarms first; second, another phase or phases to McFeePark; third, the improvement of Everett Road from Smithto Union, and fourth, with the potential of perhaps mov-ing it out of the Five-Year Plan if need be, improvementsto Union Road,” Alderman and Commissioner RonHonken said. “And mixed in all that is the commentsabout reduction of funds into the land acquisition.”
The shift would prioritize Everett Road over UnionRoad, instead of the other way around.
Honken sees McFee Park as a Town outdoor communi-ty center, he said.
“That is a large piece of property,” he said. “It has greatpotential, not only to bring value to the people that livehere but to bring value to the people that will come herefor outdoor events, tournaments.”
He suggested adding money to the land acquisitionfund more slowly and using money for the park.
“So what I would like to see is, again, take some ofthose dollars that we’re looking to put into the land
Farragut’s proposed gun

Differences between Mayor Ralph McGill and BillJohns, former Town mayoral candidate, concerning a pos-sible Farragut mandatory gun ownership ordinance couldbe boiled down to what McGill views as practical versuswhat Johns thinks is marketable.
Throw in Farragut Alderman Bob Markli, who agreeswith Johns in favor of such an ordinance — with loop-holes for objectors — as his differences versus McGillalso include Second Amendment interpretations.
In the hours following publication of his Guestview col-umn in April 18 issue of farragutpress favoring such anordinance, Johns’ column began whipping up area andregional media attention when Markli announced he’d
“talk to [Board of Mayor and Aldermen] about it, basical-ly to see if it can get any traction.”
Markli didn’t commit at what BOMA meeting thatmight happen.
“I would think it would be kind of interesting to hold apublic referendum, just to see what the people thinkabout it. Probably a good idea.” Markli said.
Johns, a former member of Farragut EconomicDevelopment Committee, attended a small press confer-ence Thursday afternoon, April 18, outside of Town Hall.
“This is a symbolic marketing type of ordinance, to helpan economic development build our brand,” Johns said.“The buzz that’s being created” in the media “has put uson the radar of all the companies that are starting to flee

Though they didn’t hear the twin blasts that have trag-ically altered scores of innocent lives during BostonMarathon 2013, Jonathan and Betsy Johnson had a 29thfloor view of the finish line.
About 3:30 p.m., roughly 40 minutes after the twobombs detonated, “Right underneath us they had, I wouldsay, probably 15 to 20 ambulances all waiting in this onespot,” said Jonathan, a member of The Rotary Club ofFarragut, who along with his wife were two of almost27,000 participants never to forget Monday afternoon,April 15. “It was all police, Bomb Squad, SWAT Team peo-

policereportsinside the building. Builderswould be required to submit theresults from both tests to Townbuilding officials, who wouldthen inspect structures for com-pliance. Another segment of theordinance would require moreinsulation in ceilings, floor slabsand crawlspaces, helping makefor an even more energy efficienthome or business.
“My house was built in the1970s, and with as much moneyas I spent replacing windows anddoors, I would have been happyto pay this on the front end,” saidRuth Hawk, CommunityDevelopment director. “I havespent much more than this try-ing to make my home more ener-gy efficient. It’s smart financiallyto do [these tests].”
Another proposed ordinance,13-03, deals with fire safety,especially that for larger build-
ings. If passed, the ordinancewould require commercial struc-tures in excess of 7,000 squarefeet per story and two or morestories to have sprinkler systemsinstalled, and for buildings thissize to no longer be built as pre-dominately wooden structures.
“We've started to see a trend ofmoving toward using woodenstructures,” said Dan Johnson,Town Fire Marshal during a pre-BOMA meeting workshop April11.
Johnson said using a woodenframe for commercial buildingsis a cause for concern.
“Their longevity is much short-er, and the fire load is greatlyincreased,” Johnson said.
He also noted that woodencommercial structures begindeteriorating much sooner thantheir masonry block counter-parts.
“This is a lesson learned ... I'vehad more than one hotel manag-er indicate to me, 'we use the
hotel [with wooden framework]under our name for 10 years, andthen we sell it off,”
“It's a very complicated build-ing for us to inspect; it's a verycomplicated building for them tobuild,” Johnson added.
“If you have a fire, [masonryblocks] help prevent the firefrom spreading to nearby build-ings.”
Hawk took a moment to pointout that a building constructedfrom masonry blocks is more eas-ily upgraded than a woodenstructure, citing Comfort Suitesas an example.
“Because it was made out ofmasonry blocks, its structuremade it more viable for renova-tions,” Hawk said. “We want tokeep our buildings longstandingand functioning.”
A second reading of the ordi-nances will follow at the nextmeeting on April 25.

acquisition fund — not all ofthem, some of them — and then,as we get the hotel-motel tax,dedicate that income to the landacquisition fund,” he said. “Let’stake some of those dollars, soon-er than later, and let’s get mov-ing on McFee Park. I just seethat as being such a crown jewelof our community.”
He called the recommendedamendments to the plan impor-tant.
“We have limited resources,”he said. “I think sometimes ourcitizens forget that we only havea budget of $7.5 million. We havea couple of projects that if we didthem all at one time, would eatup our entire annual budget. Sotaking this CIP and really priori-
tizing these large expenditures— these are the big-ticket items— is very critical to what we do.We have to listen to the citizens,and we have to really look atwhat can we afford to do, andwhat’s the best time to do it.”
Town assistant administratorGary Palmer stressed focusingon projects, not numbers, whenreviewing the plan.
“Think of this in terms of proj-ects: What projects do you wantto see the town fund by priority?”Palmer said. “And if it’s in linewith what we have proposed, wecan keep it that way. We canmove stuff, but I don’t want youto get hung up on numbers.Because we need that direction– we need the project directionmore than we need the fundingdirection. The board will have todecide on how we fund.”

the New England area,Colorado.”
Such an ordinance on thebooks would “give us a RealEstate bump,” added Johns, alsoa former vice president of JobsNow program in a 16-county EastTennessee region.
“And just the benefits ofreducing crime.”
However, “It is not to beenforced, there’s no registra-tion,” Johns said. “It really does-n’t effect anybody here in our
community of Farragut,” addingcurrent gun ownership “is proba-bly a large percentage of theexisting residents.”
On that same Thursday out-side of Town Hall, McGill said,“The Second Amendment givesus the right to own firearms. ... Idon’t see what the point is, otherthan to create controversy wherethere is none.
“We don’t have much crime.The most common crime wehave here is people breakinginto cars,” McGill added.

ple.”The Johnsons’ 29th floor
Marriott Copley hotel roomfaced the marathon route’s finalfew hundred yards “about twoblocks from the finish line.”
“People were like, ‘I can’tbelieve this has happened,’” saidJonathan, who finished themarathon around 1 p.m., thenBetsy around 1:50 p.m. havingstarted about 20 minutes afterJonathan.
Jonathan said he was in thehotel elevator headed to hisroom just before 3 p.m. when hediscovered what had happened.Betsy was in the lobby.
“When the elevator doorsopened, something had hap-pened ... people in the hotel said,‘We felt it,’” Jonathan said,adding about an adjacent mall,“We had to have been in the mallarea [when the bombs detonat-ed] and that’s why we neverheard anything.”
Jonathan said his wife wit-nessed “‘all these people run-ning kind of towards the hotel,’and her thought was, ‘I need totake a picture of this, it’s just soexciting’” thinking it was part ofBoston Marathon festivities.
“Then, as people kind of gotcloser she realized, ‘this isn’tright.’”
The Johnsons’ Marriott hotel“went on lockdown” untilTuesday morning, he said.
Though originally not plan-ning to qualify for BostonMarathon 2014, the couple is
reconsidering, Jonathan said,after he qualified for and ran hisfifth Boston Marathon [finishingat 3:01.38] versus Betsy’s “sev-enth or eighth” [finishing at3:30.20].
Because of the bombings,“We’re seriously consideringchanging what we were going todo to run it, just to show people,‘you can’t do this,’” addedJohnson, co-owner of A & WOffice Supply. “Just to supportthat whole community.”
Another Farragut business-man having run five BostonMarathons is Alan Gassel, DVM,founder and co-owner ofConcord Veterinary Hospital.
Though he didn’t run thisyear’s tragic marathon, “I canassure you that I am increasing-ly set on running it in thefuture,” Gassel said. “It increas-es my resolve. You can’t let thesepeople dictate our lifestyles.”
Beyond not letting the terror-ist win by being scared away,Jonathan gave specific reasonswhy Boston Marathon is such anattraction.
“It’s a festive atmosphere,” hesaid, emphasizing Boston “is dif-ferent from any other marathonthat you do” — including NewYork Marathon.
“It’s probably that atmospherefor 20 out of the 26 miles. It’sfour or five people deep, allyelling, all screaming for every-body,” Jonathan added. “Bothsides of the road. It’s just unbe-lievable.”
In New York, “You have people,but it’s not as enthusiastic,”Jonathan added.

“In my memory, in the 33 yearsthe Town has existed, there havebeen three murders. ... In allthree cases, if everybody ownedguns it would not have preventedit.”
Even considering such an ordi-nance, “I think it reflects badlyon the Town,” McGill said.
As for any constituent feed-back supporting such an ordi-nance, “There’s been no mentionof such a thing,” McGill said.
In a phone interview later thatsame Thursday, Markli said heand Johns “had talked. … Itsounded like a good idea to me. Iknew Kennesaw, Ga., did it in
’82. It was beneficial for thattown as a whole. … Actually, vio-lent crime diminished pre-dictably.”
Though admitting “It’s mainlysymbolic ... it’s not enforceable,”Markli added, “I think for a Townlike Farragut that doesn’t have apolice force, it’s probably a goodidea … that it’s known thatFarragut supports the rights ofits citizens and encourages itscitizens to be armed.
“I think probably the vastmajority of Farragut citizens arearmed,” he added.
Looking at the Constitution,“A lot of people don’t realizethat, in fact, the SecondAmendment ... the clear intent,as stated by the authors of the
Constitution, is that every ablebodied man between the ages of17 and 60 constitutes the mili-tia,” said Markli, president ofMarkli Construction Co., Inc.“And that every able bodied manshould have the most sophisti-cated battle weapon of the day.... Today it’s a semi-automaticrifle or even an automatic rifle.”
In addition to SecondAmendment protection, “Weseek to enact ordinances thataddress specific needs, specificareas, and I think this one ofthose,” Markli said.

Recent newspaper stories regardingFarragut resident Bill Johns’ proposal thatour Town adopt a very successful, 30 year-old Kennesaw Georgia firearms ordinance,and my support for the idea as an electedFarragut Alderman have created significantpublic interest. The ordinance reads simply:
“Sec. 34-21. Heads of households to main-tain firearms. (a) In order to provide for theemergency management of the city, and fur-ther in order to provide for and protect thesafety, security and general welfare of thecity and its inhabitants, every head ofhousehold residing in the city limits isrequired to main-tain a firearm,together withammunition there-fore. (b) Exemptfrom the effect ofthis section arethose heads ofhouseholds who suf-fer a physical ormental disability,which would pro-hibit them fromusing such afirearm. Furtherexempt from theeffect of this sec-tion are those headsof households whoare paupers or who conscientiously opposemaintaining firearms as a result of beliefsor religious doctrine, or persons convictedof a felony.”
This is primarily a symbolic ordinance asit contains no enforcement provision andcompels no one to own a firearm. Rather, itreaffirms the intent of the SecondAmendment and sends the message thatFarragut is an astute community whichappreciates its freedom, values its heritageand safety, and is willing to protect it. Whilemany today find it unfashionable to studyhistory or defend liberty, the feedback frommy constituents indicates the wide majoritysolidly align with the nation’s foundingintent regarding the relationship betweenfirearms and a free society, the 2ndAmendment, and the symbolic meaning ofthis ordinance. A public ballot would letthem speak for themselves.
The ordinance also serves as a cool voiceof reason in the midst of the hysterical criesto “Do something!” in the wake of recenthigh-profile tragedies. A noisy little cadre ofusual suspects from the radical fringes
stands ready to exploit every crisis to makepolitical capital to impose ill-conceived guncontrol schemes. In the real world any, fic-tion of law that suggests an elitist politicianin a distant city can dictate what a citizenhere can or cannot use to protect himself orhis family in a desperate situation is thevery definition of absurdity.
The town of Farragut has no plans for adedicated police department, and alongwith my constituents I believe we are servedextremely well by Sheriff Jimmy Jones andthe Knox County Sheriff’s department. But,when seconds count, law enforcement willalmost always be minutes away. Fortunately,most households in the Town of Farragut domaintain firearms, and adopting theKennesaw ordinance would reinforce thatexistingperception and help differentiate Farragutin the region in terms of safety, branding,and economic development.
Facts to consider:Studies indicate that firearms are used
over two million times a year for personalprotection and that the presence of afirearm, without a shot being fired, preventscrime in many instances.
Cities with the most restrictions on per-sonal firearms have the highest number ofgun crimes per capita.
Cities with the highest number of lawfulgun owners have the lowest violent crimerates. More guns equal less crime. As theproliferation of firearms has increased overthe past 20 years, the number of gun relateddeaths has steadily declined.
A March, 2013 survey of 400,000 lawenforcement officers nationwide with over15,000 respondents showed that: More than76 percent indicated that legally armed citi-zens are important to reducing crime. 80percent believe legally armed citizens canreduce casualties in incidents of mass vio-lence. More than 91 percent stated theysupported the Right-to-Carry by law abidingAmericans.
In summary, I believe the proposed ordi-nance is a common-sense way to:
• Reduce crime by sending a clear mes-sage to criminals
• Increase public safety• Increase property values• Increase desirability to businesses and
business owners• Spur economic growth• Send a message to Washington that the
citizens of Farragut will not tolerate theerosion of fundamental rights.

I just would like to make afew brief points on theKennesaw, Ga., ordinancebenchmark that apparentlyhas generated significantinterest.
First and foremost, it is justa symbolic ordinance andthere is no participation byanyone no matter where youstand on the issue.
Secondly, I am not anelected official nor is it myordinance — it is theKennesaw, Ga., ordinance. Ialso have no plans on advo-cating for it anymore thanthe opinion I already gave inthe farragutpress.
As someone who has a pub-lic administration, businessadministration, and economicdevelopment background, Ilike this ordinance andthought it is worthy of a dis-cussion in the public arena asa benchmark.
Although I like it, you maynot. If the town of Farragutelected representativeschoose to (or not to) pursueit, it is totally up to them.
Thank you for the opportu-nity of bringing a timely topicto the public’s attention andsupporting the recruitment ofSecond Amendment and likecompanies to Tennessee inaddition to exploring theother positive benefits associ-ated with such an ordinance.
Bill Johns, Farragut
Mr. Mayor, I just read thearticle in today’s NewsSentinel about Alderman[Bob] Markli’s plans to pres-ent a plan to the Board ofMayor and Alderman, where-by Town households would berequired to own a firearm.
This is absolutely the mostridiculous idea I have everheard, and I want this killedbefore it goes any further. Idon’t even want the Town toconsider a version [that] al-lows one to opt out. I shouldalso make it clear that I havenothing against people owningfirearms if they wish to do so.
Perhaps the Town shouldconsider what could happen ifsomeone is killed in theirhome by a firearm the Townrequired they own. I’m surethe attorneys would have afield day with that.
Surely the Board has moreimportant things to do thanconsider this kind of non-sense.
Charles Reeves Jr. Farragut
I am writing this letter tomake the Farragut Commun-
ity aware of another exampleof Knox County Schools put-ting test scores ahead of whatis best for our children.
Currently, at FarragutMiddle School, advanced sev-enth- and eighth-grade stu-dents have the opportunity totake French. This opportunityallows these students to earnhigh school foreign languagecredit. Once these studentsreach high school this back-ground in French gives themseveral options. Some maychoose to go further in theirstudy of the French language,others may pursue an addi-tional foreign language andsome may choose to pursueother areas of interest thatotherwise would be taken upby their foreign languagerequirements. In addition,these FMS students have theprivilege to be in the class-room with an exceptionalteacher who makes learningfun and has quickly become afavorite of many students.
At the end of this schoolyear, FMS will no longer offerFrench. The reason is TCAPscores. Students at FMS takea reading class and a lan-guage arts class. Both of theseclasses teach the curriculumthat is tested on the LanguageArts section of TCAPs.
French students (whomust score advanced onLanguage Arts TCAPs to beenrolled) take French inplace of the reading class.FMS and Knox County havedecided that having childrenreceive two classes of TCAPprep is preferable to the ben-efits of learning French (orpotentially any high schoolclass taught to middle schoolstudents: Spanish, physicalscience, biology etc.).
In simpler terms, FMS ismore concerned with how theschools test “data” looks, thanwith what is best for our stu-dents.
As a parent of a rising sev-enth grader, I am angry thatshe will not have the opportu-nity to take French next year.As a teacher at FMS, I amashamed and embarrassedthat we are no longer puttingstudents and student learningfirst, and that as a result FMSis losing another greatteacher who truly cares abouther students.
KCS and FMS are going torespond to this letter by say-ing that French was eliminat-ed because of next year’schange to a new schedule: sixclasses, 75 minutes each.Their argument is that thisschedule eliminates the need
for several teaching positionsand French is the only classthat can be eliminated.
The fallacy of this argu-ment is that the decision to goto this new schedule in thefirst place was made based onthe belief that longer classeswill increase TCAP scores.
The decisions KCS makealmost always put TCAPs and“data” first and what is trulybest for our children and theireducation second.

Knox County SchoolsDistrict recently announced aSchool Technology Chal-lenge: a competition that “willseek to identify about 10schools that have the capaci-ty, knowledge, vision and pas-sion to successfully imple-ment a comprehensive ins-tructional technology initia-tive.” This “technology initia-tive” is political babble forequipping each student of aselected school with a laptop.The benefits of such a deci-sion are beyond self-evident;computers have the potentialto take education to the nextechelon of engagement andinnovation.
I applaud Dr. McIntyreand associates for this nobleendeavor. The praise endsthere.
I am currently a junior atFarragut High School, one ofthe schools that did notreceive funding. I serve as thepresident of the student bodyalongside my commitment toathletics and academics. Myschool administrators weregracious enough to grant me aspeech in front of the com-mittee as part of my school’sproposal for this grant. I deliv-ered my rhetoric and left themeeting with confidence thatFarragut had secured a greatopportunity for my peers.
I know I am young, I know Iseem incurably headstrong,and I know many stoppedreading at the word Farragut.It is time for intelligent deci-sions to be made concerningeducation. Farragut HighSchool has historically beenshunted. It is assumed thatour school overflows with richkids. It is assumed that ourfacilities are golden. It isassumed that our success isearned not by work but bysome angelic gifting foreverplaced upon our campus.Farragut does in fact achievehigher than many schools inKnox County, yet that successhas nothing to do with ourfacilities or wealth. In fact the
number of students on free orreduced lunch at Farragut isvery near the county average.Our building is falling apart atthe seams; ask a student orteacher who works here every-day. We are continually ig-nored and abused by the“downtown cronies” becauseof our success.
“Oh, surely you’re overre-acting a bit kid!” Am I? Why
were they selected over us?Overwhelmingly becausethose schools’ performanceindicators (test scores, minor-ity gaps, etc.) are much lowerthan ours. This county’s phi-losophy is essentially commu-nistic: bring the top schoolsdown to mean and bring thebottom up. There is no incen-tive for success; in fact there isonly animosity. This chastising
of successful institutions andfinancing of those failing isutterly ridiculous. I know fewwill read my words. I knoweven fewer will empathizewith my high school. But whatKnox County lost recently isnot insignificant: it is ourfuture.

“We noticed every year atFarragut the Honor Society andthe [Student GovernmentAssociation] group have alwayshad a very strong presence at ourrelay,” Hensley added. “And we’vehad a lot of kids from Farragut
attend the relays. So we thought itmight be fun to do something justfor them.”

Kristi is a size three or four soshe can afford to put a little“reading cushion” on her petitebody, but the notion of eatingwhile reading intrigued mebecause I can’t do that. I eitherhave to read or eat to fully enjoyeither event and if I try to doboth simultaneously I miss outon the best of both worlds. Andit’s also a good thing for mebecause I read a lot and I don’tneed the extra calories thatwould find their way into my sys-tem via time spent with MichaelConnelly.
I was telling my dear friendJody about Kristi’s comment andshe said, “Oh my, I’m like Kristi, Ilove to eat while I read and Icould stand to lose some weight.”

Read it and eat“How can you concentrate on
the book if you’re eating?” Iasked.
“Well, while I’m actually read-ing I am chewing and then whenI turn the page I take anotherbite.”
“So you take a bite every timeyou turn a page?”
“Just about! And I have thebooks with the big print!” (Jodyis in her 80s.)
Then she said, “Wow, I couldlose some of this extra weight if Istopped that habit, couldn’t I?”
Do you like to eat while youread? My husband does. We reada lot of the same books and I canliterally tell what he ate while heread, because invariably the evi-dence of the snack of choice isleft on the pages. I know he atesome left-over barbequed ribsduring chapter twelve ofAbsolute Power, because when Igot to that chapter I suddenlyhad the urge to have ribs.
If you have a habit of eatingwhile you read and you want tolose weight, I wouldn’t suggestcold turkeying it. Start with babysteps. Decide to take a bite oneven numbered pages, or at thebeginning of a chapter. You coulddecide to take a bite only whenthere is an illustration or photo.(If you try that one, no fair read-ing comic books.) Just think, youcould lose several pounds in thenext year depending on howmany books you read, and bitesyou take per page.
Oh, and if you’re like me andyou can’t eat and read at thesame time, be so thankful!
Just a thought as we headtoward the great summer read-ing season.

“One of the best examples ofwhere I had to use the 4-Way Testwas in my Leadership Class atFarragut High School,” Joyce saidabout the club’s 4-Way Test dur-
ing her Fox Den competition: Is itthe TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all con-cerned? Will it build GOODWILLand BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Willit be BENEFICIAL to all con-cerned?
Is it the truth? Is it beneficialto all concerned? “In this classeach semester we are broken upinto small groups to complete aservice project of our choice.

said about the value of primaryage art classes, which take place“at least once a week” at FPS.“There’s problem-solving skills,and it just broadens the imagina-
tion. And it’s good, too, becauseof art history. You learn about dif-ferent artists.”
Among all FPS students’ works,“Those who excelled were chosen”for Town Hall display, Lundy said.
No top finishers were chosenamong those in Town Hall.
Among the mediums the chil-dren used included “print-making;we’re working with oil pastels,paintings with watercolor, tempera[type of paint], conte crayons ...kid-friendly mediums, things thatare water soluble,” Hammond said.

Saying she didn’t know whatto expect in a leadership class,Unbehaun said, “It turned outthat this class set you apart fromthe school. Leadership [class] hastaught me so many lessons, butmost importantly it has the ability
to create a leader within each per-son that walks through the door.
“It took one person to changethe way I view the world andmake a difference in my life.”
Waibel began by asking thequestion, “Does everyone havethe power, deep down insidethem, to do something great?
“It seems like there are alwaysleaders among us, and it allbegins with the Rotary 4-WayTest,” Waibel added. “Leadershipbegins when we quit worryingabout ourselves. ... Challengeyourself to make a difference insomeone else's life.”

Shrimp Dock celebrates anniversary■ ROBBY O’DANIEL
The Shrimp Dock co-ownersPhil Dangel and Becky Dangelstarted out as customers andended up owning the place.
They were customers of TheShrimp Dock in Bearden, butthey didn’t frequent it becausethey live in Farragut, BeckyDangel said.
Phil Dangel said he asked theprevious owner to go west.
“He didn’t want to come toFarragut, so I said, ‘I’ll tell youwhat. I’ll do it,’” Phil Dangelsaid.
The Farragut location is cele-brating its fifth anniversary.
He had been looking for abusiness the town needed.
“I think Farragut is a greattown, a good business town andhad a need for fresh fish, hasplenty of supermarkets, butwe’re more than a supermar-ket,” he said. “We’re fresh fish.We’re fresh gulf, shrimp. Webring it to you everyday.”
After the opening of theFarragut location, Phil Dangelsaid he eventually bought theBearden one and opened anoth-er in Alcoa.
Both Phil Dangel and BeckyDangel have been in retailingtheir entire business careers,Becky Dangel said.
“We were both executiveswith Macy’s for 20 years inAtlanta, and then we movedhere,” Becky Dangel said. “Philhad an opportunity to comework at Goody’s, and I had anopportunity to stay at home andraise our son.”
With their backgrounds, shesees working at The ShrimpDock as natural.
“There’s never a time inthere, when I’m in the stores,that I don’t see somebody Iknow, and that’s true in any ofthe three stores,” she said. “It’sjust a fun place to go and seepeople in the community and

introduce them to differentkinds of seafood or differentways to cook seafood, sort oftake them out of their comfortlevel of one or two kinds of fishto trying all sorts of things, try-ing different species of fish, try-ing different kinds of shellfish,trying different recipes.”
What makes the store standout begins with the freshness ofthe food, Phil Dangel said.
“We get deliveries six days aweek of fresh shrimp, fresh fish,crawfish, oysters,” Phil Dangelsaid.
The store also offers productknowledge, he said.
“We can tell you how to cookit, what to do with it, how tohandle it, and we can give yourecipes,” he said.
The seafood market serveslunch, Becky Dangel said.
“The store has full kitchensbecause we make all of our ownsoups, dips, spreads, quiches,seafood pies, and it was a natu-ral outgrowth of having a full-fledged kitchen to start a lunchbusiness,” Becky Dangel said.“Lunch was started in theBearden store, and we have
served lunch from day one inFarragut. The first year, weadded a fish fry Friday duringLent that was so successful thatwe always cook until 7 onFridays only. That’s the onlynight we do dinner.”
The Farragut location, at11124 Kingston Pike, has hadsteady customers throughout itstime, she said.
“It has developed a goodcatering base,” she said.“People call us repeatedly, yearafter year, to come and doevents for them, whether it’sgraduations or just a weekendparty, shrimp boil. We’ve devel-oped a great reputation for cus-tomer service and freshseafood.”
Prom season gives local businesses a boost
Robby O’Daniel/farragutpress
Zac Medley, a Pellissippi State Community College student,picks up his tuxedo rental at Savvi Formalwear, 115 N. SevenOaks Drive, to attend prom at Karns High School.
■ ROBBY O’[email protected]
Prom season is in full swing,and that makes tuxedos, dressesand limos in demand.
Reca Cagle, Knoxville Prom101 co-owner, said the store isselling long dresses, short dress-es and high-low dresses, whichare “short in the front and longin the back,” she said.
“We’re selling a ton of thosebecause they kind of have bothworlds, a short and a long dressin one,” Cagle said.
Knoxville Prom 101 is a sea-sonal store, she said, whichopens in December and closes inMay and sells prom dresses andaccessories. This is the store’sfirst year.
Dresses range in price, shesaid.
“We start at $99, and our mostexpensive dress this year was$650,” she said. “... The bulk ofour dresses are between $250and $399.”
The store closes for the seasonMay 11, and she said, beginningMay 3, an end-of-the-season sale
will mark everything down to$99.
She thinks prom makes girlsfeel special.
“Everybody deserves to feelspecial at different times intheir lives, and for the girls, Ithink prom gives them anopportunity to dress a differentway,” she said. “They never getto dress that way, and theynever get to feel that special. SoI think that’s really importantfor the girls.”
Angela Scruggs, sales associ-ate at Savvi Formalwear on 115N. Seven Oaks Drive, said busi-ness goes up during prom sea-son.
“It seems like guys are reallyliking our single-button andtwo-button notch lapel jackets,”Scruggs said. “But I guess themost important thing when theycome in is really to match thegirl’s dress with their vest andtie, and we do our best to makethat happen.”
She called prom a rite of pas-sage for high schoolers.

Hawks turn back Catholic with 13 hit-attack

■ ALAN [email protected]
Hardin Valley Academy’s quitesuccess youth movement in 2013had twom o r es h i n i n gperform-ers, among others, Saturdayafternoon against KnoxvilleCatholic.
While Dylan Young, senior leftfielder, punched out three hits tohelp lead the Hawks past theIrish 6-2 at HVA April 20, sopho-more Ian Pung was producingwith aluminum and leather.
About Pung's defense at thirdbase, which included a divingstab of a line drive and a bare-handed charge scoop for an outat first, “The play he made in theseventh [scoop] is a college
baseball play, absolutely phe-nomenal,” said HVA head coachKirk Renegar, whose Hawksimproved to 17-7 while enteringthe week still perfect and on topin District 3-AAA at 10-0.
Harris said the older Hawks“help me out a ton. I work outwith Anthony [Gambuzza] all thetime. He’s my man out in the out-field.”
Not to be forgotten was seniorpitching staff ace Tommy Weiler.
“As good as Tommy Weiler’sbeen this year,” Renegar said, asthe lefty allowed seven hits andone walk with two strikeouts.“Really showed the kind of guyhe is in terms of competing andforcing the action. Went seveninnings on about 80 pitches.”
Despite leaving five men onbase the first two innings, HVAtook advantage of a two-out
throwing error to score four runsin the third. Will Neely and MattTurner each stroked RBI singleswhile Landen Beyer had a two-
RBI single.Harris doubled and scored on
Pung’s RBI single in the fourth. Seth Hunt singled and scored
on an error in the sixth.Mason Sawicki had a RBI sin-
gle for Catholic (20-8), whichwas missing two starters.

of Catholic catcher KoleCottam. The Hawks won

“We’re like a bad AYSO team,”Bearden head coach Eric Turnersaid. “We’re emotional zombies.We didn’t play with any intensity.We didn’t play with any heart. Wejust didn’t play with anything.When you couple those twothings together, you get what youget.”
Farragut (10-3, 4-1) was com-ing off a home loss to KingsportDobyns-Bennett earlier in theweek. The setback gave the Adsan extra bit of motivation.
The Admirals, who scored fivegoals over the first 40 minutes,jumped ahead 1-0 when KaiMiettinen buried a shot pastBearden junior goalkeeper RhysFielder in the seventh minute.
“The defender was on me and Ispun and Fletcher Ekern got methe ball and I put in on the leftcorner,” Miettinen said. “This isreally the first time that I’ve evergot to play much againstBearden. I’ve either been hurt or
not playing up to my potential.”Farragut’s offense continued
to click throughout the first half.The Admirals scored five goalson 10 shots.
Emilio Moore gave the Ads a 2-0 lead with a marker in the 12thminute and Ethan Snow made it3-0 with a tally seven minuteslater. Snow, Farragut’s sopho-more forward, said he tookadvantage of a defensive lapse bythe Bulldogs. “I was unmarkedand I put the ball in,” he said. “Igot it in on the corner.”
Bearden’s offense was scarcelyheard from on this night. TheBulldogs managed just threeshots in the first half. Gus Green,the Admirals’ first-year seniornetminder, easily made thosesaves. The Admirals outshot theSoccer Dawgs 19-6 in the match.
Mendy closed out the first-halfscoring with a pair of markers.Mendy made it 4-0 in the 34thminute. He scored again, threeminutes later, when he took apass from Connor MacLean andpromptly banged it past Fielder.
Mendy completed his hat trickin the second half when heknocked in a header.
