Choto RMFD station could offer cost savings ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Rural/Metro Fire Department Station No. 42, the construction of which recently broke ground, could result in substantial savings on homeowners’ insurance premiums for roughly 40,000 residents within a five-mile radius of Northshore DriveChoto Road intersection. Jerry Harnish, RMFD chief, listed two reasons for constructing the new station behind Weigel’s less than 200 yards from the intersection. With the closest current R/M stations several miles away along Watt Road and Campbell Station Road, “One is to reduce response times. … It’s a public safety issue,” Harnish said. “The second reason is, the way the insurance industry is regulated, prop-
erties further than five miles from a fire station are rated as if they had no fire protection. So they have disproportionately high premiums.” However, with Station No. 42 in operation, “A typical savings for a 25-year-old home appraised at $200,000 could be around $700 annually, but the actual amount will depend on the carrier, the age of the home, size and construction of the home, and the coverages included in the policy,” Harnish said. With “5,200 residents in the Choto census tract” as of the 2010 Census, Harnish said that number was up from just 700 in the 2000 Census. However, “If the entire population within a five-mile radius of the station were included, the number would increase 30,000 to

40,000,” he added. The 5,000 square foot single floor station, featuring one engine with “one firefighter/EMT and one firefighter/paramedic on duty at all times” according to Harnish, is scheduled to begin operation “in early to mid-summer.” Among the residents saying they’re looking forward to big
savings on homeowners insurance premiums is Susan Rawls. “The rates will go down, I think, and there’s a safety measure that comes with that when you have a station being close by like that,” Rawls, a Montgomery Cove resident for 12 years, said about having the station within one mile of her home. “It’s grown so much out here, there’s so
many homes and residents. I think it will serve a great purpose.” This family called Rural/ Metro, with a Campbell Station engine responding, because of “a carbon monoxide issue … to make sure the carbon monoxide was not leaking in my house,” See RMFD on Page 4A
Parkside rezoning request fails ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Residents of Sweet Briar subdivision had their voices heard, so a vacant lot between Tennessee State Bank and Parkside Medical Center off Parkside Drive will remain zoned for office use. After hearing Sweet Briar residents’ concerns, Farragut Municipal Planning Commission voted unanimously against Farragut Land Partners’ request to rezone property at 11454 Parkside Drive as commercial during its meeting Thursday, Jan. 15.
Ashley Miller, Community Development assistant director for town of Farragut, said Farragut Land Partners asked FMPC to change zoning from O-13 (office, three stoNixon ries) and B1 (buffer) to C-1 (general commercial) and B-1. As part of the initial development plan, the property was
specified as office and it included a 100-foot buffer from the rear of the property, Miller said. T h e rezoning would be consistent with the dominant plan of developRaines ment along Parkside Drive, she added. Jim Nixon, partner with Farragut Land Partners, said his company does not have plans for
the property and has not purchased the property yet but has a contract to buy it. Several Sweet Briar residents, whose properties abut the parcel, objected to the zoning request, adding they have made upgrades to their homes, and the rezoning would hurt their property values. “I’m telling you, if you do this, there are people who will immediately put their houses up for sale,” Ken Chipley, secretary of Sweet Briar Homeowners Association and homeowner since 1986, said. “The area adjacent to Sweet Briar was sup-
posed to stay office because of it being adjacent to us.” Deborah Raines of Sweet Briar said she could see signs and hear dumpsters from Parkside Drive businesses already. “The thought of having another commercial building that close to our property literally made me sick to my stomach,” Raines said. This [rezoning request] is beyond belief to us that we might have a fast food restaurant there,” resident Kelley Crone said “There is no way we will conSee FMPC on Page 4A
No Styrofoam, no glass accepted at FLWR site

Fort Loudon Waste & Recycling Center’s facility off Kingston Pike, Farragut, is no longer accepting glass for recycling. Last month, the company put up signs, giving the public notice they are no longer accepting glass or Styrofoam. Mike Shahan, special projects manager with FLWR, said the company decided glass recycling has become too big of an expense. “People I’ve talked to have been pretty understanding,” Shahan said. Shahan said the facility has been in Farragut since 2008. The company has accepted glass for recycling for years but it does not have anywhere to haul it, he said. “We can’t do anything with it right now. I was told the closest
place is in Atlanta,” Shahan said. “It’s become a big expense for us. “There’s nobody who will take glass for free for us, and it’s been piling up in our lot,” Shahan said. “We’ve got a big pile we’ve crushed with a bulldozer,” he said. “We don’t want to landfill it; we’re in the recycling business.” Likewise, the company cannot find an outlet to recycle Styrofoam, Shahan said. “We spent the whole year last year to work out taking Styrofoam, but we couldn’t make it work,” he said. Fort Loudon Waste & Recycling is an industrial scrap recycling business, owned by Eddie and Jason Bales. He said FLWR operates the Farragut facility for a free comSee RECYCLE on Page 2A

About 45 residents living alongside Canton Hollow Road or Woody Drive came to Strang Senior Center Tuesday night, Jan. 20, to ask questions and express concerns about Knox County’s estimated $800,000 revamping of the roads’ intersection. After an introductory address about basic features of this project from Jim Snowden, deputy director with Knox County Engineering & Public Works, residents broke up into three groups.

They don’t have to sort the plastics, paper.” “We put a lot of money into it to make it convenient for people,” Nick Kakanis, FLWR customer service manager, said. “We also have staff to help.” Kakanis said the center accepts all grades of plastics, paper, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, aluminum and steel cans and electronics. “If we could find a home for [the glass] we would probably
cials plus transportation services representatives from Gresham Smith and Partners, project designer services firm, fielded questions from the three groups. “We look at a lot of crashes in the county … and this intersection keeps coming up as a problem for us,” Snowden said in his introductory address. “As a matter of fact there’s been 34 crashes at this intersection in about the last five years time, which is highly elevated.” Saying there’s a problem with “limited sight lines due to a curve, a vertical curve and a horizontal curve,” Snowden added about Canton Hollow, “We’re
Though his Farragut business was vandalized with an estimated $500 worth of graffiti damage — sprayed on the dumpster, storage unit walls and back door — owner David Purvis said he is grateful for security camera video that might help nab a suspect. One male suspect committed the vandalism at Farragut Wine & Spirits, 11238 Kingston Pike, “Saturday night at 10:10 or so,” Jan. 17, Purvis said. Purvis said he wasn’t sure if the suspect could have been tied to “a break-in over in the old Kroger space New Year’s Eve. Kids got in there breaking in the back door. … They tagged the inside of the walls and emptied the fire extinguishers.”
Police are searching for a suspect who was recorded on video vandalizing Farragut Wine & Spirits Saturday, Jan. 17.
“Police are looking” for a connection. “They said that had come up,” Purvis added. The suspect “took a picture of his work,” Purvis said, adding he posted his security video of the vandalism suspect “on the store’s Facebook page.” Although Purvis said this type
of vandalism is a new experience for him, “Kids used to climb up on our roof and skateboard on our roof,” he added. However, “We put a camera out there. … We had them on video and they’ve sort of stopped doing it now,” Purvis said.

continue to take it, but we just can’t find a home,” Shahan said. Knox County recycling centers do accept separated clear, green and brown glass at six of its seven convenience centers, except the Karns center, which has space constraints; but the centers do not accept Styrofoam, Zach Johnson, recycling coordinator for Knox County Engineering & Public Works, said. “There’s not a lot of markets that sell Styrofoam,” Johnson said. “It’s just garbage unfortunately.” He said the FLWR center is privately owned and is not affiliated with Knox County convenience centers. Likewise, Knoxville Recycling Centers and curbside service accept clear, green and brown glass but do not accept Styrofoam, John Homa, Knoxville Solid Waste project manager, said.

tinue living here if it’s rezoned.” “I think it ought to stay office,” Mayor Ralph McGill said. “I’m not in a hurry to rezone the property.” On another matter, Commission heard concerns of Farragut resident Kim Knott, who said she and her brothers inherited 26 acres of property on the east end of Union Road and have had developers interested in the land. “But after meeting with Farragut, they all run for the hills because they’ve been told they have to foot the whole bill for widening that road again even further to put in bike paths and sidewalks from all our property to Smith Road,” she said. Commission said it would “work with her.” Mark Shipley, Community Development director, also presented a second draft of proposed architectural guidelines for commissioners to fine tune. The Town contracted with
consultants Winter & Company to develop design guidelines in April 2014. He said the second draft was completed in November 2014. Most of the changes planners involved clarifying language in the draft regarding building materials and colors. “I think we should stay away from subjective terms,” FMPC chair Rita Holladay said. “At this point, the third site visit from the consultant will tentatively be late February or early March with a final draft being provided shortly thereafter,” Shipley said. Similarly, Commission discussed a proposal for a mixed use/neighborhood commercial district at “minor activity hubs,” such as Lakefront/Concord Road Subarea and McFee Park Roundabout Subarea, Shipley said. These areas would be smaller than the downtown area but would combine residential and business. No action was taken but commission expressed its support for the concept.

• This is in response to the person who wrote about the speed limit on Grigsby Chapel Road. For their information, a speed limit sign is the maximum speed one should travel. A speed limit of 40 mph does not mean you don’t go less, it means you do not go more. Therefore, going 30 or 35 mph in a 40 mph speed limit is what should be expected. Just because it’s a speed limit of 40 you do not go 40, you go less than 40. Maybe we need more driver education. • I would like to pass along my gratitude and appreciation for The Shrimp Dock in Farragut. They have always been very accommodating. Just last week we had a family get-together that had to be canceled due to my father’s illness. [The Shrimp Dock staff] said their only concern was my father and not to worry about picking up a large
order that I had placed with them for pickup on that date.

Powell, said they came to celebrate Moore’s return from basic training. “We’re all here for him,” Diaz said. “This is his last weekend home before he goes back.” Moore said going skating was his friends’ idea, adding they always ice skate when he is home. Skaters Sarrah Bush and Breanna Long said they came to Farragut Skate Date with East Athens Baptist Church’s youth group. “It’s awesome,” Bush said. “I’ve been three times before.” “Oh, we’ve had fun,” Mike
Daniel, youth group chaperone, said. “The kids have a great time. We came last year as well.” Katie Fowlkes and Ben Jones said they got the idea of attending the skate date from a friend. “We haven’t been skating for years,” Jones said. “We haven’t fallen yet, so it’s successful so far,” Fowlkes said. While best friends Allie Stavros of Farragut and Maddie Campbell of Indiana were separated when Maddie moved away, the Farragut Skate Date was an opportunity for them to get together during a visit, Allie said.
“We’re also going to install some turn lanes on Woody,” Snowden added. As for an estimated timetable of steps leading toward construction, “If we decide this plan, based on your comments and suggestions, is something we think we can live with and work with … hopefully within three to six months acquire the necessary properties,” Snowden said. Construction would start, “at the earliest, maybe later this year, and complete the construction spring of next year,” he added. Snowden said “total widening along Canton Hollow runs about 1,000 feet. … On Woody we’ll be improving about 300 feet.”
Concerning traffic delays, “On Woody we are going to have a full closure … for two, three, four weeks … on Canton Hollow it will not be a full closure,” Snowden said. While most right-of-way acquisitions “are small … mostly easements” according to Snowden, one senior citizen resident will be forced to move because her home, “Based on the plans … is within a proposed right-of-way,” Snowden told a relative of that senior citizen. “… I’m not going to rush [the resident]. … We realize this is a huge undertaking for her, she’s lived there a long time. We want to give her plenty of time.”

Rawls said. “We got a bill for close to $900. … We weren’t a subscriber then. Of course, we’ve changed that now.” “We have seen the number of contracts increase in Choto since the station was announced,” Harnish said. “We anticipate that the number will increase more rapidly after it becomes operational.” In terms of subscription rates and plans, Harnish said, “The average annual contract rate is about 0.12 per square foot, and most property owners remit
annually, although quarterly and monthly plans are available.” Otherwise, “The service fee rate for responses to non-subscribers is $1,360 per engine or ladder company per hour,” Harnish said. “Markets at Choto actually will own the property and lease it to Rural/Metro,” Harnish said. “… We’re grateful to Mr. [John] Huber [Markets at Choto owner/developer] and to Knox County for helping us getting the project launched. “We’re very much looking forward to serving that community.”
adding she has 10 children and they all skate. “The girls do figure skating, the older boys play hockey, and even the youngest, a 3-year-old, skates,” Maine said.

going to come in and we’re going to flatten the horizontal curve, we’re going to make the curve more gentle as you travel through it. You won’t be as apt to potentially run off the road and have an accident there. “The second thing is we want to drop the grade of the road about seven or eight feet” on Canton Hollow, Snowden added. “Existing Canton Hollow, where it sits today, when you sit there and look south you can’t see that oncoming traffic very well.” After the drop in grade, “You’ll be able to see that on-coming traffic,” Snowden said.

Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop recently celebrated one year at its Turkey Creek location by welcoming new owners, Mark Russell and Leslie Cate. Russell and Cate, both of Maryville, bought the franchise for the shop, 11525 Parkside Drive, Dec. 1 from Scott and Meredith Layton, who founded Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop in Bearden and Turkey Creek. “This is something we thought would be great,” Russell said. “We loved the concept and we wanted to be involved.” Russell said he and Cate met the Laytons through a business colleague. They learned how the Laytons started Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop and liked the business plan, he added. “It kind of reminded me of my mother and grandmother baking pies and other goods over the years,” Russell said. “A lot of people of my generation don’t bake at home,” he said. “This [business] is a way of spreading something from the past. I can relate to that.” As the shop changes ownership, Russell said some of the characteristics of the business, the freshness, quality and taste of

Having already taken Bearden to the wire, and then some, in an overtime loss at BHS Jan. 9, Farragut looked to crack District 4-AAA’s “top three” barrier with a win at West Friday night. A solid first half of defense, a triangle-and-two that held the Rebels without a point for more than eight minutes, plus stout defensive Lady Admirals 58 rebounding Lady Rebels 31 allowed the Admirals to build a 19-10 lead. That was whittled to 22-21 at halftime before West cranked up its own defensive pressure in the fourth quarter. Holding Farragut without a field goal in the final eight minutes, the Admirals also were cold at the free throw line (16 of 32) in a 50-35 loss Jan. 23. “The free throw line, that’s what killed us,” said Will Doerger, FHS senior post who came off the bench to score eight points. Meanwhile, Farragut’s Lady Admirals (17-6, 9-2) cruised to a 58-31 victory against a West team with only one win this season (0-10 in district). Kristen Freeman led FHS with 12 points, followed by Annie McMurry and Miranda Burt with nine each.

Maegan Hudson scored six. As for the FHS boys in the early going Friday, “We did what we wanted to defensively, we held [post David Kraski] and guard [John Evans] down,” FHS head coach Chris Cool said about limiting Kraski and Evans to single digits scoring. “I thought our kids played their tails off.”
However, Farragut’s free throw misses “were a killer,” he added. While Rebels 50 West improved Admirals 35 to 14-8 overall, 7-4 in district, FHS dropped its third straight game and fell to 12-11, 5-6 in 4-AAA. Ty Allen, senior wing, led
Farragut in scoring with 10. Keegan McGuire, senior point guard, had seven points. “We played our hearts out. Everybody was diving on the floor,” Doerger said. About hitting the boards hard, especially in the first half, Doerger said, “Coach Cool made sure we knew how badly they
outrebounded us when they came to our place” in a decisive loss to West at FHS Dec. 15. “We thought we would return the favor. “I felt that was the best rebounding game we played all year,” he added. Rebel guard Shandel Williams led his team with 15 points.

Both Bearden High School basketball teams kept long winning streaks alive with home victories Friday night, Jan. 23. The Lady Bulldogs won their seven consecutive game, defeated Hardin Valley Academy 57-45, while the BHS boys saw their winning streak reach six with an 83-62 win over the Hawks. The Lady Bulldogs kept their perfect District 4-AAA record intact despite a lackluster effort in the second half. Bearden (22-
3 overall, 11-0 in the district after the win) jumped to a 36-18 lead. However, the Lady Bulldogs “just didLady Bulldogs 57 n’t come out of the Lady Hawks 45 locker room for the second half. We were not pulling together defensively in the second half and we gave them some easy opportunities,” BHS head coach Justin Underwood said. Madison Rice led Bearden with 17 points. Chanler Geer added 12 while Trinity Lee and Olivia Pfeifer scored nine points

each. Junior point guard Holly Hagood finished with eight. “We definitely have to play better than we did in the second half tonight,” Rice said. The Lady Hawks (13-10, 3-8) took advantage of the Lady Bulldogs’ defensive struggles and were able to make a modest run after halftime. “These kids never quit and that’s what makes them so fun to coach. But offensive rebounding and free throws remain areas of concern for us,” HVA head coach Jennifer Galloway said. Hardin Valley’s Abbey Cornelius scored a game-high 22
points. “We’ve just got to come out and play like we did in the second half tonight,” she said. Meanwhile, Bearden’s boys darted out to a fast start and opened a Bulldogs 83 22-13 lead. Hawks 62 Hardin Valley (8-14, 3-8) would respond in the second stanza, however, to build a five-point lead and a 3735 edge at halftime. Bearden (23-1, 10-1) then took control by outscoring the Hawks 26-10 in the third quarter despite having its top post, senior Jason Smith, and explosive point guard,
junior Quez Fair, in foul trouble. “The big difference in the game was Dakota [McGowan],” BHS head coach Mark Blevins said about his freshman starting guard. “Dakota’s ball handling was the difference.” Smith scored a game-high 21 points. Austin Duncan had 17 points while Fair finished with 12. McGowan scored seven. Caleb Clevenger scored nine points to lead the Hawks. Caleb Davis added eight. Blaine Shockley had six but was held scoreless after halftime. Hunter Canon also had six thanks to a pair of long-range jumpers.

Tough losses for Ice Ads vs. Knights, BHS-Karns ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
Early penalties took their toll on the Farragut High School hockey team Thursday, Jan. 15, in a 4-2 loss to the Knoxville Knights in the Icearium. Coupled with a tough 5-4 setback to Bearden-Karns Thursday, Jan. 22, the Admirals stand at 1-52 on the season. Against the Knights, Farragut quickly found itself fighting an uphill battle as they were shorthanded throughout much of the first period. The Admirals killed off a pair of 5-on-3 penalties in
the opening frame and didn’t surrender a shot to the Knights, the Knoxville Amateur Hockey Association’s top high school team. “Our kids played hard and they didn’t Knights 4 quit,” FHS Admirals 2 h e a d coach Jeff Lindsay said. “When we were two men down, they [the Knights] didn’t get a shot. “But the penalties just killed us.” The Ads survived those penalties and the neither the Farragut nor the Knights, improving to 5-0-
2 after the win, scored in the first period. The Knights finally took a 1-0 lead in the second stanza when Isaiah Maine scored an unassisted goal at the 9:21 mark. Then things really got crazy. Shortly after Maine scored the game’s first marker, he was involved in an altercation with Kyle Lindsay and took a fiveminute major. Lindsay received a minor penalty and Maine spent five minutes in the penalty box for head-butting one of Farragut’s top scorers. The Ads, however couldn’t take advantage of the infraction
because they took a pair of minors while Maine was off the ice. “We killed that major and they helped us by taking two minors, so that was pretty much a major for them,” Knights head coach Greg Maine said. While penalties seemed to be the order of the day, goals came at a premium. The Knights, however, did add a second tally late in the period when Jacob Givens scored another unassisted goal with 26 seconds left. The lead grew to 3-0 lead when Jacob Adam scored with 9:04 remaining in the contest. The Ads made a surge and
scored the next two goals. Farragut freshman John Barckhoff made the score 3-1 with a goal midway through the third period. Kenny Richter and Davis Eichelberger assisted. “We worked pretty hard but the penalties were a killer,” Barckhoff said. “It’s hard when you have to kill off all of those penalties.” The Ads pulled to within 3-2 when Steven Popovich converted a penalty shot with 3:59 to play. “After we got those two goals, I thought we had some momentum,” he said. Adam’s second goal of the game made it 4-2 with 2:20 remaining.

Tankersleys’ ‘fabulous’ restoration Former Old Concord childhood home of Linda Laughlin Ford gets ‘transformation’
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Dan Tankersley said he bought the former childhood home of Linda Laughlin Ford, wife of Farragut’s second Mayor Eddy Ford, in Old Concord for a project and a home for he and wife, Amy. “I thought it was fabulous,” Ford said about the Tankersleys’ restoration of the home at 1100 Church St., which sits in the historic district of Old Concord. Ford said she knew the Tankersleys would have to make some renovations to make the house fit their lifestyle, but they maintained the integrity of the home, saving the windows and other original elements, including marble from a former quarry. “That is very special to me,” she said. “The first time I walked into the home, I was totally amazed. It was so beautiful. “My parents would be very happy with the transformation of their home,” Ford added. “They are both buried in the Masonic cemetery that overlooks the property.” Ford and the Tankersleys first met while Ford and other family members were visiting the nearby cemetery, and the Tankersleys were talking with the architect at
the house. “It has been a joy to meet Amy and Dan Tankersley,” Ford said. “They are just a delightful couple.” Ford said she was 3 or 4 when her parents, Bob and Ruth Laughlin, had the house built in the 1940s, using materials from the home of her grandparents, Fred and Mabel Hobbs, in Concord. “My grandparents gave my parents the land it now sits on,” she said. “The house is interesting,” Dan Tankersley said. “You really have to go back to what was there before to make sense of it.” The area was a marble quarry run by the Woods brothers, starting in the 1880s, and a marble finishing shop. “We found lots of different scraps of marble on the property,” Dan Tankersley said. In the 1920s, the Woods moved their business to another location, and in the 1940s, Tennessee Valley Authority built Fort Loudoun Dam, he said. Ford’s grandparents’ house sat where the entrance to Concord Park is now, she said. TVA allowed the Laughlins to

Thompson discovers ‘multi-tasking, giving’ FHS student body ■
Alan Sloan
During a break from the normal grind on New Year's Eve, FHS principal Stephanie Thompson looks up information on her school's list of success stories during fall semester.
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Occupying a high school principal’s chair for the first time in her educational career, Stephanie Thompson is learning to appreciate how top students at Farragut High School manage their time — active in many clubs and members of sports teams while stilling keeping grade point averages of 4.0 and above. “We have got the most talented kids,” Thompson, interim principal at FHS looking to earn fulltime principal status after 201415, said. “…. A lot of our top kids are involved in multiple things. It’s just incredible to watch them flourish and be successful in multi-
ple areas of their lives because of what that requires from them. It requires discipline, it requires time management.” Although a teacher at FHS during the 2007-08 school year, Thompson said, “I think until you’re sitting in this [principal’s] chair where everything comes to you, you’re not necessarily as aware school-wide. I have re-newed appreciation.” Visiting classrooms regularly, Thompson gave one example of renewed appreciation. “You see the amazing ways our teachers engage students and how they teach bell to bell,” she said. However, reflecting more on students’ time management, Thompson said, “I worry that this genera-

‘Kane’ to Rotary: giving and business fit together
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Glenn “Kane” Jacobs told the story of how an elderly woman’s pile of hospital medical bills had been forgiven by a highly regarded surgeon because, several years before, that surgeon was a young door-to-door salesman treated kindly by that very same woman. “In life, however, things aren’t always as neatly packaged as they are in our story,” Jacobs, the former champion “Kane” in World Wrestling Entertainment, added. “Sometimes we don’t benefit directly from our giving. “But nevertheless, I believe that givers do gain because givers gain by the very act of giving.” Jacobs, a Missouri native now living in Knoxville who is coowner of The Jacobs Agency insurance, was featured speaker during The Rotary Club of Farragut’s Wednesday, Nov. 19, meeting in Fox Den Country Club clubhouse. “Human beings are hard-wired to be empathetic toward one another.” Jacobs said it’s “a myth that success in business necessitates
being ruthless, cold-hearted and mean spirited. … I uncatagorically reject this idea. I believe that giving is the secret not only to living, but also to success in business.” In fact, “The only way to succeed in business is to give people what they want at the price that they’re willing to pay,” Jacobs said. “… Giving is good business.” Giving builds trust, “and trust is the most important commodity that any businessperson can possess,” he said. “I’m sure those of you in here who are in sales have heard the saying, ‘If they like you they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you they’ll buy from you.’ “Giving is the key to happiness,” Jacobs added. “We always think happiness comes from profits. Actually, it’s the other way around. It turns out that when you do something that makes you happy, that’s when the profits flow because you’re more enthusiastic, you’re willing to work harder.” Jacobs showed a video of a 7year-old terminally-ill cancer See KANE on Page 7B

The event, which took place Thursday, Dec. 11, at the Chamber office, 11826 Kingston Pike, Farragut, offered music, food, drink and a chance to help underprivileged families in Appalachian areas through the Mission of Hope organization. “It was a great event,” Betty Sisco, chamber president and chief executive officer, said, adding she was pleased with the turnout.

We are getting back into the Chamber [after a year’s break] again.” Brenda Swan Beaty, brendacooks4u, also praised the event. “I thought it had a great turnout,” she said. “I learned about some businesses around Town I didn’t know about, and I got good exposure to other vendors.” Beaty’s business was one of the vendors offering samplings of
food for attendees. In addition to her savory parmesan reggiano cheesecake, the event offered wings, barbecue, shrimp cocktail, shrimp chowder, wine and other beverages, sweets and more. “We greatly appreciate those who made it a success,” Sisco said.

Albritton’s PSCC success recognized by Obama ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutpress.com
Ashley Albritton, age 32, got her career as a medical missionary jump-started in fall 2013 thanks to her younger sister, Alissa Albritton-Sellers. In fact, seeking a nursing degree while enrolled at Pellissippi State Community College has opened up a whole new life for Ashley. She happily studies alongside her Farragut Middle School seventh-
grade son, Mason, at their kitchen table. It’s a story so powerful in terms of overcoming adversity that U.S. President Barack Obama took notice during his visit to Pellissippi State Community College Jan. 9. Briefly speaking with Obama following a handshake, “He said, ‘Ashley, I know who you are and I know how hard you are working. Keep up the good job,’” Ashley

In a new competition about designing a software application that could solve real world problems, it came down to Farragut High School’s comprehensive guide to worldwide immunization versus Bearden High School’s simplification of the college scholarship searching process. Bearden’s self-named “Tn20 Lab” eight-member team, all seniors, won the inaugural CODEtn Code Writing Competition finals, featuring eight schools from an original field of Knox, Blount and Anderson county schools, in Knoxville Convention Center Thursday, Nov. 20. Bearden earned a $5,000 “cash grant” for its computer classrooms. Second place Farragut earned a $1,000 grant. Bearden’s winning software application, Eruditio, The Scholarship Finder, was an effort that began in early October. “They had six weeks to pull this off,” team mentor Amy Moskal, BHS Web design teacher in the school’s business department, said. Team captains were Adam Short, lead developer, and

Sebastian Soldner, who was in charge of the presentation before a panel of judges. “We’re all seniors, so right around the time we started developing this application we were all applying to college. And, of course, college costs money and we wanted to see where we could get scholarships,” Soldner said. “As we looked on the Internet we

recalled the President saying. “And I say, ‘Yes sir.’ And he said, ‘It’s a pleasure to meet you.’ “I know what it is to fight just to exist, and so now to fight for a life worth living is hard — it is one of the toughest things that I’ve ever had to do … but it’s easy to fight for a life worth living compared to fighting just to exist,” Ashley, taking 13 hours in spring semester, added. Though saying she was “scared to death” when first attending PSCC, Ashley added, “I’ve made the Dean’s List every semester. I spend over 60 hours a week on my studies outside of classroom.” Encouraged by his mother’s success, Mason “has gone from a B and C student to an A Honor Roll student,” Ashley said. “Pellissippi State Community College gave my mom her life back,” Mason, 13, said. “It made our life so much brighter, and I’m so proud of her.” After “one more year” at PSCC, “I hope to go to Maryville College for one year and graduate there with a bachelor’s degree in nursing,” Ashley said. “And straight from there is a bridge program they have. I’ll go up to Vanderbilt for two years and graduate with a Master’s [degree] as an advanced nurse practitioner.” At first fighting the idea of returning to college while saying life’s circumstances had her “a bit broken” into 2013, Ashley said, “I laughed and scoffed at [Alissa]. … ‘I would not be qualified to go back to college.’ … Especially at that
time in my life.” However, “Alissa applied to college for me,” Ashley said about enrolling her into PSCC. “She called me on a Friday and said, ‘Your compass [placement] test is on a Tuesday, don’t miss it.’” Passing that test with high marks on most every level, “When she showed me a picture of the acceptance letter, then we both just cried,” Ashley said. “That is really when my life began again.” Recalling a key moment of her childhood, “I would carry around a baby doll and say I was a missionary doctor,” Ashley said about her passion to serve the less fortunate. “I’ve always had a desire to do that. … I love people. I love helping people.” Running a private “in-home health and hospice” business, Ashley said her work allows her the flexibility to be a mother and a student. Ashley and Mason set aside “two to three hours” for homework each weekday evening, Ashley said. “… My son is my life and my schedule revolves around what’s best for him. So sometimes it’s me helping him with his homework, then I make dinner. And then I study after he goes to bed.” Ashley and Mason also push each other with a “friendly” contest of who gets the best grades. “We compete to see who can get done with their homework faster,” Mason said. “We encourage each other and keep each other going every day,” Ashley said. “… Our report cards hang on the refrigerator door sideby-side.”

Though receiving some technical and presentation advice from Moskal and “a tech pro,” she added, “They did this pretty much on their own. They did all their coding. … What was so special to me was to watch their work ethic and how they collaborated and made out their own schedule.
“Most of them are friends to begin with I would say.” Farragut’s nine-student team featured senior Daniel Hong, three juniors, two sophomores, one freshman plus an eighth-grader and seventh-grader at Farragut Middle School. “Immuno Info” software application was a comprehensive immunization guide. For example, “If you’re 2months old what immunizations should you have?” team sponsor Mary Lin, FHS honors math com-
puter applications and AP computer science teacher, said. “If you’re 16 years old, what immunizations should you have? “A user would go to in and click on their age and gender and it would pull up the immunizations they should have. If you’re traveling internationally you could select what nation you’re traveling to and it would pull up the immunizations that you needed.” Knox County Health Department “has the immunizations
for local, but not for travel,” Lin added. “This was our solution.” Farragut’s immunization angle “came during the Ebola breakout in Africa. … We started in late September,” Hong said. “We had also heard of breakouts such as whooping cough. … So we thought it would be nice to provide a website that would have all this information ready to go.” On average, Hong said he and his colleagues put in “about 15 hours a week” on website work.

ported the Mission of Hope with donations of coats and other clothing, food and toys for people of Appalachia. The donations filled a room in the Chamber office. “We have a charity every year,”
she said. “It was tasty, warm and comfortable in the tent, provided by Rothschild Catering and Conference Center, who requested the charity be Mission of Hope.
“Thanks to all participants,” she said. Emmette Thompson, executive director of Mission of Hope, also expressed his gratitude.

take materials from her grandparents’ house. “Money was tight back then,” Ford said. “Anything they could salvage, they brought on that site in Old Concord.” The original house was 16 feet by 32 feet, but through the years the family constructed additions to the house. When Bob Laughlin died — Ruth Hobbs Laughlin died a few years earlier — Ford sold the house to a man intending to restore it but was
transferred by his job. Newly single in 2007, Tankersley said he needed a place to go and some things to do. That year, he bought the house in Old Concord. He met Amy in 2010 and they married in 2011. She had a home in the Dean Hill area of Knoxville but they decided to look for a smaller home. After an unfruitful search, they decided the best
solution was the Laughlin home and spent from fall 2012 to fall 2013 working on the house, he said. Restoring the home would prove serendipitous for the Tankersleys, as it was an ideal space for both a home and location for their business, Iaomai, which offers yoga, nutrition and massage therapy, he said.

patient named Connor, a big wrestling fan, that although “sick, you’d never know it from his personality,” one caregiver said about this boy. “… His dad told me he didn’t have very long to live.” Connor enjoyed an evening of “Wrestlemania” where he got to be the star among many top wrestlers. “I truly believe the whole experience extended Connor’s time with me,” his father said after Connor died. While Jacobs fielded questions, Farragut Rotarian Ronald Lawrence instead made a statement: “I’d like to thank you for a very touching, heart-felt presentation.
