FHS inducts Hall of Fame Class of 2015 ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
While eight former Farragut High School star athletes and two highly successful coaches officially joined the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame late last week, another FHS alumnus was spotlighted more for his guts and determination than superstar talent. Jacob Gilliam, a Tennessee Volunteers starting offensive tackle his senior year in 2014 after a stellar career with the
Admirals, was brought front and center Saturday evening, Jan. 31, in the school’s Commons. A non-scholarship Volunteer who “for three or four years works hard, did everything that he’s supposed to do … battled through injuries his entire career,” Gilliam “then earns a scholarship. So he gets to start his senior year at Tennessee,” featured speaker Josh Ward said during the FHS Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. But in the Vols’ season opener
against Utah State, Gilliam’s UT career seemed over after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament knee injury. However, defying long odds, “He said, ‘I’m going to come back in a few weeks.’ … He trained, he rehabbed and played [toward the end of] this season,” said Ward, a 2003 FHS graduate who is co-host of a popular East Tennessee sports talk radio show, a college football recruitSee HOF on Page 2A

Knox County TDS rolls out 1 gig Internet speed service Commission selects Schoonmaker ■ ■ TAMMY CHEEK

Farragut residents and businesses can get lightning-fast Internet now. TDS Telecommunications Corp. announced that Farragut, Concord and Halls service areas now have access to 1 Gigabit residential Internet service during a rollout of the 1 Gig service Friday, Jan. 30, in Farragut Town Hall. “You are among the first places where we offer 1 gig residential service,” Bruce Mottern, TDS Telecom state government affairs manager, said. “This is a great day for Farragut; it’s a great day for TDS,” Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill said. “This puts us in an elite number of cities that will be as advanced as this, and we’re happy this is happening. “This will bolster our recruiting of businesses and residential people,” McGill said. “I think what this demonstrates is [Farragut and Concord are] wonderful places to live, work and do business,” Ryan Haynes, District 14 state representative, said. “We’re fortunate we have companies that recognize we have created an environment here in Tennessee so we can allow the private sector to flourish.” “I think it’s very exciting,” State Sen. Richard Briggs, (District 7), said. “We are on the cutting edge of the technology it provides.” “Oh, these people do a wonderful job,” State Rep. Jimmy Matlock, (District 21), owner of Matlock Tire Service, said, adding he thinks TDS is a “great asset to its service areas.” Corey Johns, executive director of Connected Tennessee, which does state broadband adoption and digital inclusion programs, said Federal Communications Commission voted Jan. 29 to raise the definition of broadband from 4 megabits per second download

speeds to 25 Mbps — a megabit is 1/8 as big as a megabyte, meaning that to download a 1MB file in one second you would need a connection of 8 Mbps.. “So what TDS’s investment does is bring gigabits that’s 40 times faster than the new FCC broadband speed definition it just approved,” Johns said. “We now have 9 gigabit communities across Tennessee, and four are in the TDS service areas.” Tony Bugher, manager of TDS Telecom field marketing, said right now TDS customers would pay “$99.95 a month to get the 1 Gbps residential service upgrade.” “This service is only available when bundled with our TDS TV service,” Frank Holcolm, TDS associate manager of field marketing, said. “The total cost would be $99 for the Internet and also whatever TV package the customer would choose.” TDS provides 1 Gig Internet service to businesses, but it offers it as a dedicated symmetrical service, Bugher said.
“In the traditional Internet offering, we offer up to 100 Meg, and we’ve found with our business customers that have specific needs, it would require a dedicated connection from their premise or office back to our central office, so there’s different pricing and different component to that,” he said. “One Gig is your Internet speed that’s delivered over fiber optics and is equivalent to 1,000 megabits per second,” Mottern said. “It’s 100 times faster than the national average broadband. With 1 gig, residential customers in Farragut, Concord and Halls can download files at lightning fast speeds, even with multiple devices running at the same time. “With 1 Gig, a high-definition movie can be downloaded in less than an minute,” Mottern said, adding if a person had a 10 megabit service, the download would take 20 minutes.

Saying supporters have labeled him a “regular guy” as a compliment “because I’m not tied to any special interest group,” John Schoonmaker will represent Farragut and surrounding communities as new Fifth District Knox County commissioner. Schoonmaker said he was in a “learning stage” less than four days after fellow commissioners appointed him Monday evening, Jan. 12, to fill the seat vacated by newly elected District 7 state Sen. Richard Briggs. Schoonmaker, 60, was the
choice among nine vying for the seat, which included three current Farragut residents (John H. G r u e s e r, D a v i d Freeman and J. Kelly Clancy), one Concord resident (Grant Standefer) and one form e r Schoonmaker Farragut Municipal Planning Commission member (Ron Rochelle). Warning about a serious need See COMMISSION on Page 2A
Radon testing advised by TDEC ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut and all of Knox County is at high risk of radon exposure because of the naturally occurring uranium in the soil, according to Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. “The good news is there are ways to fix it,” Jane Compton, TDEC Office on Sustainable Practices manager, said. Compton urged Farragut residents to learn more about the dangers of radon during this time of year. January was Radon Action Month. “According to EPA, Americans spend about 90 percent of their time indoors,” TDEC Commissioner Bob Martineau said. “This can be an issue, as radon is a naturally occurring gas that can seep into homes through cracks and openings in the foundation.” Compton said Farragut and all
of Knox County have an exposure of 4.25 picocuries per liter of radon. “Daily exposure at the level of 4.2 picocuries per liter is the equivalent of smoking half a pack of cigarettes per day,” she said. “Knox County is an area at a higher risk due to the type of geology and soil,” Compton said. “Uranium is naturally occurring in this soil.” Compton said the department does not track specific addresses for radon. “We’re trying to get ZIP Code specific data,” she added. “We don’t have [the mapping] by ZIP code yet.” Radon is not a problem in ambient air, but when it becomes concentrated in a home or building, it does become a problem, she said. “We offer, for a limited time, See RADON on Page 2A

Town hosts volunteer breakfast ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress
Town of Farragut staff celebrated its volunteers by hosting its Volunteer Breakfast Thursday, Dec. 18, in Town Hall. The Town has 110 volunteers currently serving in a number of ways as Farragut’s Unsung Navy, from working in Farragut Folklife Museum to providing Income Tax assistance, helping with Town events and serving on committees. “We honor our volunteers every holiday season, and this breakfast is the way we do that,” Chelsey Riemann, Farragut public relations coordinator, said. Besides the breakfast, Town staff alos has a banquet in the spring, she said.

for repaving of roads in Fifth District and throughout Knox County, Schoonmaker said, “How can we get more funds into the road paving? Right now we are getting pushed back further and further. And pretty soon some of the roads in these subdivisions, it’s not going to be good. … About 10 years ago we were doing 80 miles of road in the county [annual repaving]. Now we’re down to 16. If we still keep using the same dollars, pretty soon we’re going to be down to doing eight miles in the county. That’s the whole county.” Saying he recently spoke to Cindy Pionke, Knox County director of Planning and Development, Schoonmaker quoted her as saying, “‘If we had unlimited funds, we could probably spend about $100 million to get all the roads in the county upgraded to the right standards with sidewalks, all the amenities that we would need.’ “‘… There’s a lot of subdivisions seeing their names go up on a list and all of a sudden they get bumped because there’s
“This is a lovely thing,” volunteer Marty Rodgers said. “[The staff] had to get early and stay late to do it.” Rodgers, who has volunteered for more than 12 years, said she is involved because she loves Farragut and wanted to give back to the Town. Her husband, the late David Rodgers, was one of the founding members of the Town. Marie Leonard, widow of the late Mayor Bob Leonard, has volunteered for about 20 years. While her husband was mayor, Leonard said she was working for orthopedic doctors but wanted to become more involved. After she retired she volunteered.

test kits funded by a Tennessee Radon Program grant from the EPA.,” Compton said. “This is the best time of year, when doors and windows are shut, so the test results are more representative of in-home exposure,” Martineau said. There are several ways people can obtain a kit. One is by going online to tdec.net or attend a TDEC community events usually held in January. Once the test is completed, the lab will send an analysis of what range is acceptable and what the person should do, Compton said. “There are folks who are certified mitigators,” she said. “They vent the radon to the outside of the home. The cost really depends on the design of the house.”

Town of Farragut requires a radon mitigation system in every new home construction when the home is on a slab, basement or sealed crawl space foundation, Adam Price, Town Codes enforcer, said. Price added vent-

Cornaby, FHS wrestling program’s first state champion (112pound class in 1994 and 119 in
1995), spoke on behalf of the inductees. “Each of us are here tonight because of the influence of someone else,” he said. “We thank you, our coaches, our mentors, teammates, our families, friends, fans and even opponents; all those that cheered us on when the path that we chose was difficult. … We thank you for teaching us to dream and strive, and how to work through the disappointments, the injuries and the setbacks, and how to win graciously.”

another crisis. … There are some subdivisions out there that have been waiting a long time,’” he added. Schoonmaker did not offer a specific plan to loosen up money to improve the county repaving challenge. “I believe that we’ve got to look at the budget and see how we can start applying more dollars from there. Obviously something’s going to have to move from one department or one area over. We have an obligation to our community to maintain the roads.” About recruiting industry and big businesses into the county, Schoonmaker said, “When those folks come in on the next level to really look with the different Chambers involved, we need to make sure that we’re on top of that and don’t miss any opportunity.” Looking to hold regular meetings with constituents in the evening, Schoonmaker said those might not happen “until March.” To ask questions or express concerns with Schoonmaker, email john.schoonmaker@knoxcounty.org/

townview: As the newest elected member of the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen, I want to start by saying what a fantastic experience it has been so far. I have now been in my position for six months and am amazed at how much is happening in our wonderful community. We have b e e n working on a new branding Ron platform to guide Pinchok Alderman the marWard II keting of Farragut and hope to approve the new brand in a few weeks. This brand will aid in our efforts to draw new businesses as well as visitors to stay in our hotels, eat at our restaurants and shop our retail establishments. We have also been working on new architectural design standards to help with future commercial and multi-family development. We hope to create a more pleasing and consistent platform to maintain our Town’s beautiful landscape, with designs that will withstand the test of time. These standards are also expected to be finalized within the next few weeks.
The most exciting part of these two projects is for the results to be the cornerstone of the new Mixed Use Town Center (MUTC) zone that is part of our Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) adopted in 2012. After many hours of work and debate, the new MUTC requirements were approved by the FBMA in January. The MUTC will be in the vicinity of Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike. The goal is to create pedestrian friendly developments that will have buildings from two to four stories, offering retail and professional businesses on the first floor with offices, condos or apartments on the upper floors. The idea is to create a live, work and play community in which the MUTC is the focal point for our Town and an area that we will all want to frequent. My hope is to create a plaza with trees, sidewalk cafes, maybe a gazebo and even an amphitheater where we can have concerts or community and children’s events. The Turkey Creek development is nearing complete build out, which means our next area for growth will be the MUTC. I hope that you agree and feel as proud of our community as I do. I encourage you to get involved with the Town’s growth in this new area and hope someday in the not too distant future I can say “let’s meet on the PLAZA and talk.”

Malcolm Shell volunteered with the museum for 17 years before he resigned two years ago. He said friend and former Mayor Eddy Ford asked him to get involved.

• Love the article last week titled, “Choto RMFD station could offer cost savings.” The key word here is “could.” I highly doubt that the new station will change the ISO rating for that area. The ISO rating was given when Rural Metro parked an unmanned fire engine in the area to get a higher rating. Also, it clearly states the intentions of Rural Metro is that only two firefighters will man the new station. Like other Rural Metro Stations, two firefighters is the minimum manning allowed. The National Fire Protection Agency has a policy called “two in two out.” This was formed to protect firefighters at fire scenes. It means that two firefighters will stay outside a structure for every two that go inside. In reality, they are a rescue team for the firefighters themselves. Will having a fire station in that area reduce response times? You bet! And two firefighters are better than zero. To get anything done like ventilation, turning off utilities, taking a hydrant, laying hose lines, rescue of trapped individuals, putting out the fire, preforming first aid, it takes way more than two firefighters and the list goes on. Meanwhile, the two firefighters are waiting for [the] next wave of help to arrive, which is just as far and takes just as long as it does now. Sure, having a station there will help in so many ways and will increase Rural Metro’s subscribers. Just remember that those fees they charge don’t go to just support that station. Rural Metro is a “For Profit” fire service. Not many fire departments in the country are “For Profit.” Unless it’s a volunteer department, most departments are funded by tax dollars, which are included in your property taxes. Your property taxes can be claimed on your taxes. Rural Metro fees cannot since it is a service. Just like having an electrician come to your home ... you can’t write an electrician off either. All of us would benefit by having the City of Knoxville provide fire service. Higher ISO ratings and equipment staffed with more manpower. The town of Farragut has a new high-rise on Kingston Pike, which looks beautiful. Only one problem, the closest fire station with a truck or ladder capable of reaching the top is miles away. In
all circumstances, when you’re in a large building or a place you don’t know ... KNOW YOUR WAY OUT! Help is not around the corner. Use the stairs and not the elevator. HAVE A PLAN as it may be you and you alone to save yourself. Thanks firefighters for all you do! • In response to the person who responded to my speed limit presstalk in which I said, and I will quote: “For those of you that must not be aware of the posted speed limit … I would like to make sure everyone knows the speed limit on Grigsby Chapel Road is 40 mph. Not 30. Not 35. Not even 38. But 40. That means you can drive 40 miles per hour on Grigsby Chapel Road. Thank you.” I would like to deeply apologize if they misunderstood my comment. When they kindly provided what they mentioned as driver education saying that “a speed limit of 40 mph does not mean you don’t go less, it means you do not go more” I think you misunderstood me thinking I was saying they couldn’t drive less than the posted speed limit of 40. That was not at all what I intended. When I made my comment, I made an educated guess that the people driving around have their license, which means they had to pass the test where they would have learned that traffic laws define the maximum speed in which a motorist can legally drive. Therefore the ability to be able to legally drive 30, to me, is obvious. I simply wanted to communicate the speed limit in hopes that drivers may just not be aware of the posted speed limit that Tennessee has determined is safe on Grigsby Chapel since I am continually stuck with 10 or so other cars behind one person going 30. Truly sorry for any misunderstanding there. But while I’m on the topic of congestion on Grigsby Chapel — for whatever reason … maybe a driver not being aware that they can drive up to 40 mph or just choosing to drive 30 — I would like to point out that if Farragut rezones the R2 property by Waverly Court to a higher density R6, the multi-family complex that will be built there will only add to the already congested Grigsby Chapel Road. Farragut residents, be ready for the midMarch Farragut Town Hall meeting so you can let them know we
do not want a rezoning there! Thanks for your time, and of course also for that driver education lesson for anyone that may not have learned they couldn’t drive less than the posted speed limit! Oh, one more thing, when this person also said: “Just because it’s a speed limit of 40 you do not go 40, you go less than 40,” I would like to educate him/her that you don’t HAVE to go less than 40, it means you can ALSO GO 40, legally and safely by the laws of Tennessee. Editor’s Note: The speed limit on town of Farragut street, which Grigsby Chapel Road is one, is regulated by the Town, not the state of Tennessee. • To the people who use the center turn lane as an accelerating lane, it is a turn lane, not an accelerating lane. Once again I was almost hit head-on by a woman using the turn lane for an accelerating lane. She was looking back to merge into traffic and did not even see me. On top of that she fusses at me as though it was my fault. The center turn lane is for left turns. Please, learn the traffic laws and keep us all safe. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

Despite rally, BHS girls champs ■

Perhaps just one shot from pulling off a near miraculous comeback victory, Farragut’s Lady Admirals instead saw archrival Bearden leave FHS’s Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium with a District 4-AAA regular season title, 40-37, Friday, Jan. 30. Trailing the Lady Bulldogs 39-28 with 2:50 to play after an Anajae Stephney 15-foot jumper, Farragut mounted a furious comeback in large part by forcing Bearden into a series of turnovers. Lady Bulldogs 40 Sue Yun Kim’s three-point basket, Lady Admirals 37 two Kristen Freeman free throws, a Jaiden McCoy 7-foot jumper and Freeman’s driving 7-footer with 21.3 seconds left marked a 9-0 run, cutting the lead to 39-37. “We just believed in ourselves the whole game and we knew even when things didn’t go our way we still had a chance to win. We stuck to our gameplan,” Miranda Burt, FHS junior wing who scored five points, said. Yet another Bearden turnover thanks to FHS full-court pressure allowed the Lady Ads to tie or win the game in the last 20 seconds. But a turnover, off an inbounds pass under the basket, left Lady Bulldog Chanler Geer dribbling out the clock. Geer, a junior wing who scored 11 points, sank one free throw with 7.4 seconds left making it 40-37. Freeman’s hurried threepoint jumper at the buzzer was well off. About Farragut’s comeback, “I may have gotten a little too early trying to be strong with the basketball, and they did a good job of physically getting up in us the last four minutes,” said BHS head coach Justin Underwood, whose team stayed perfect in 4AAA, 13-0, while improving to 24-3 overall. “So we turned it over more than we should have.” Despite the loss, “I told them after the

Three weeks after a tough overtime loss at Bearden Jan. 9, you’d think the Farragut Admirals would be at fever pitch emotionally as the Bulldogs — ranked No. 1 statewide in Class AAA no less — came into FHS’s Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium. However, Chris Cool’s Admirals “didn’t have the same drive, Bulldogs 51 fight, Admirals 40 whatever, and I have no explanation for it. ... They weren’t ready mentally,” Cool said after his team lost 51-40 Friday, Jan 30. Adam Fulcher, Bearden senior wing who scored nine, pointed to “defense, mainly,” as the bigger factor in this game versus the Jan. 9 contest. “We forced a lot more turnovers in this game. And they killed us on the boards the first time around at our place, and we boxed out really well today. The rebounds were really helpful for us tonight.” While the top-ranked Bulldogs improved to 25-1 overall, 12-1 in district, FHS fell to 13-12 overall, 6-7 in 4-

Aqua Hawks capture 1st-ever KISL ‘City Meet’ crown ■ KEN LAY
Correspondent
It was a day for records to be broken and it was an historic night for the Hardin Valley Academy swim team. Marks were shattered and the Hawks won the program’s first Knoxville Interscholastic Swim League Championship Saturday, Jan. 31, at The University of Tennessee’s Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatics Center. “We really had a great night,” Hardin Valley coach Larry Hough said. “Our girls team has always been strong and our boys
are really coming along. We really did well and this was a great day for us. “We got some great swims from our younger kids, but our 12th graders really carried us tonight. We should be in the top four or five in the state,” Hough added. That will be determined during Valentine’s Day weekend when the Hawks and other area teams compete in the state meet at UT Feb. 13-14. The Hawks claimed the KISL Division I Championship with 509 points. Farragut was second (478), L&N Stem Academy took
third (421) while Bearden was fourth (388.5). Records began falling early Saturday night. HVA’s girls 200yard medley relay team of Tiffany Taylor, Carissa Armijo, Courtney Aycock and Ashley Darby posted a time of 1:48.33. HVA sophomore Erica Laning also broke a record in the girls 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:50.51. “Today is my dad, Eric’s, birthday and I wanted to get the record for him,” Laning said. “This was my first race in the city championship. “I missed this meet last year because I was sick. I had an ear
infection, so I couldn’t swim.” Laning also won the 500-yard freestyle (4:56.67) and was a member of two HVA relay teams (200-free and 400-free) that won titles. In the 200, she teamed with Ally White, Abbey Vander Sluis and Aycock (1:39.62). In the 400, she combined with Darby, Armijo and White (3:36. 45). Her win in the 200-yard freestyle came as she edged Darby (who took second) and Farragut’s Caroline Glafenhein (fourth). The Bulldogs also shattered their share of records on this night. Bearden’s boys 200-med-
ley relay team of Caleb Harrington, Bryar Long, Ryan Knight and Will Kerr posted a time of 1:36.65. Long set records in both the 200-yard individual medley (1:51.61) and the 100breaststroke (57.34 seconds). Harrington set a record in the 100-butterfly (49.37). “We definitely had a great meet,” Long said. “We had a great team spirit. I’ve been working hard. This was a fast meet and It’s nice to see my hard work pay off.” In the boys 200-freestyle, Bearden’s Hayden Burns took second (1:41.75) and Farragut’s See HVA CHAMPS on Page 9A

Late 3’s help West hold off struggling Hawks; HVA girls win
■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Apparently unafraid to continue running its offense despite having just a two-point lead late in the game, the West Rebels nailed two clutch three-point field goals in the final 1:40 at Hardin Valley Academy. The end result was a 55-48 victory Thursday, Jan. 29, which solidified West’s hold on third place in District 4-AAA (9-4, 16-8 overall) with just one 4-AAA game left in the regular season. The Hawks continue to suffer through a rough patch dating back to December, falling to 8-16 overall, 3-10 in 4-AAA. “We’re think we’re going to have to play defense for a little bit and try to get them to turn it over or take a quick shot,” HVA head coach Keith Galloway said. “… And they took two threes. I couldn’t believe they took it. “Credit them, they hit big shots,” Galloway added. “You’ve got to go with what gets you there,” West head coach Chris
Kesler said about Shandel Williams’ and John Evans’ big three-pointers late. “… I thought both of them were open looks and good shots.” However, “Probably not the shots I Rebels 55 w o u l d Hawks 48 have chosen,” he added. “But, at the same time, by letting them play you free them up. I encourage them just to play.” Evans and Greg Yarbrough led the Rebels with 12 points each. “Our defense was pretty good, it’s just they hit shots when the needed to,” Blaine Shockley, HVA senior Lady Hawks 59 wing who scored 14, Lady Rebels 37 said. “We felt like we fought hard. We’re just trying to keep going and never quit, give it our all,” Tyler Thompson, Hawks junior post who led his team with 15 points, said. Despite the loss, “Our younger guys who have less experience, they’re starting to understand the
importance of playing together,” Galloway said. “… Our guys played strong tonight, I was proud of them.” “The officials weren’t calling much tonight. It was even both ways,” he added. Individually, Galloway said “we had a lot of guys step up” including “Aaron Dykes, our freshman point guard” whose three-point field goal with 1:07 to play cut West’s lead to 50-48. Williams answered with his three-pointer at the 50-second mark. “Defensively our whole team really did a great job. We took a couple of charges. We played man[-to-man] the whole game,” Galloway added. Hardin Valley’s girls won easily, 59-37, against a struggling Lady Rebels team (one win, 0-13 in district). The Lady Hawks improved to 14-11 overall, 4-9 in 4-AAA. Abbey Cornelius, HVA freshman post, led all scorers with 22. Brooklyn Battle, senior wing, added 10. “We’ve got a fire under us and we’re ready to go out and show

who we really are and beat some teams we’ve lost to previously,” Mandi Hylton, HVA senior wing (four points), said. Bekah Hampton, Lady Hawks sophomore wing (six points), said
one key to big improvement would be “if we come together more as a team, that will take us a long way because I know we’re a very close team.”
Lady Admirals divers claim 3 of top 5 KISL ‘City Meet’ finishes

KEN LAY Correspondent
Farragut High School’s girls diving team had four competitors in Friday night’s Knoxville Interscholastic Swim League City Swim Championships. The Lady Admirals had quantity but it also featured quality on this night, Jan. 30, at The University of Tennessee’s Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center. The Lady Admirals might not have had a diver win a city title, but Farragut had three top-five finishers. L&N Stem Academy sophomore Emily Bretscher won her second consecutive city championship. Farragut’s Lilian Schneider, another sophomore, finished second. Farragut senior Sean Meyers took third. Olivia Killian (an unattached diver) claimed fourth while FHS’s Anna Johnson rounded out the top five. Bretscher finished with 529.45 points in the competition that was comprised of 11 dives. Schneider had 440.20 points; followed by Meyers’ 383.30, Killian scored 367.85 and Johnson finished with 329.7. Webb School of Knoxville’s London Hovis, who also competes in gymnastics, took sixth place (314.75 points), fol-
lowed by Christian Academy of Knoxville’s Leah Campbell (314.40 points). West High’s Maggie Wall (267.65) finished eighth. Bretscher, the now two-time defending city champion, credited others for her second consecutive championship. “I couldn’t have done this without my coaches and my team,” she said. “I couldn’t have done this without God. “It just wouldn’t have been possible It’s in His plan.” Schneider, Farragut’s top finisher, couldn’t find much fault with her effort. “I’m happy with my results,” Schneider said. “I know that there were probably a few things that I could’ve done a little better. “I just have to keep working, I
guess. I need to focus more on my entries and I need to keep working on ending the dive.” Meyers, a senior for the Lady Ads, also was pleased with her third-place finish. “I’m pretty happy with what I did,” she said. Victoria Dukes, Farragut’s other diver, finished 13th. Bearden also had a diver in Friday night’s meet. Senior Sydney Jones finished 12th in a field of 14 competitors. But she wasn’t complaining. “This is my first year diving so I didn’t expect to win,” said Jones, a former swimmer who switched to diving for health reasons. “I used to be a swimmer but I have medical problems and I can’t swim anymore. “I’m just here to have fun and I
really enjoy [diving]. It’s fun and I wish I could do it more but since I’m a senior and this is my last year, it probably won’t happen, she added.” Meanwhile, L&N Stem also won the boys competition. The Griffins, in fact, took the first four spots in the city championship meet, which featured seven competitors, including Ads junior Trevor Jellicorse, who finished fifth behind the four L&N Stem divers. Jellicorse said he had hopes of breaking into the top four. But he was far from disappointed as he quickly turned his focus to the state championships, which will be contested in Knoxville Feb. 1314. “My night was all right,” he said. “I finished fifth. My goal was
to beat at least one of those Stem guys. I really wanted to beat them. “But I’ll get another chance at state in a couple of weeks. There’s a lot of work to be done between now and then.” The Griffins’ Jacob Siler won the KISL Championship with 512.95 points. L&N Stem Academy’s Paul Bretscher was second (485.90). The Griffins’ John-alex Evans was third (382.70) and Cole Patrick was fourth (372.45). Jellicorse claimed the fifth spot with 311.75 points. West High’s Cooper Wade was sixth (280.30) while Knoxville Catholic High School’s Gill McMillan finished seven with 263.05 points.

HVA, Dawgs out in region duals ■ KEN LAY
Correspondent
Two area high school wrestling teams had a short stay at the Region 2-AAA Duals Thursday, Jan. 22. Hardin Valley Academy and Bearden both were beaten in the semifinals at Halls High School. The Hawks dropped a 57-12 match to the host Red Devils while the Bulldogs, District 4AAA champion, lost to Gibbs 4233. Hardin Valley, the District 4AAA runner-up, may have had a tough loss to Halls, but the Hawks started fast as they won the two of the first three bouts. In the 120-pound division, Cameron Isbell gave HVA a 6-0 lead when he pinned Josh Gaylor in 2 minutes, 58 seconds. Hardin Valley’s Ian McNitt overcame a late 2-0 deficit to win a 42 overtime decision over Eric Brady to give the Hawks a 9-3 advantage.

Chris Glafenhein came in third (1:45.11). In the girls 200 individual medley, Armijo posted a win (2:05.99). In the boys 200 individual medley; Arthur finished second behind Long. In the girls 50 free, Aycock notched a win (23.95). The Ads’ James Welch took third in the boys 50 free (21.58 seconds). He also was on FHS’s 200 free relay team with Chris
“I came out a little sluggish,” said McNitt, who tied his bout late in regulation and came back to win when he scored a takedown in the extra frame. “I was rejuvenated in overtime and I felt a little better after I got that blood time [which forced an injury timeout]. “I’m proud of our guys and hopefully, we can keep things going,” he added. Hardin Valley picked up its final win of the night when Chap Chappell scored a 7-3 decision over Lucas Wright. “We’re all basically second-year wrestlers,” Chappell, a sophomore, said. “We could’ve done some things better than we did but most of these guys came into the season not knowing how to wrestle,” he added. Despite the loss to Halls, HVA head coach Diego Contreras was upbeat. “In most of the matches, we fought hard,” he said. “We have a lot of second-year wrestlers and
we knew that this was going to be a tall order.” Meanwhile, the Bulldogs also lost in the semifinals. Bearden got wins from Zach Patterson (126 pounds), David Garabrandt (145), Max Grayson (152), Wes Goultry (195) and Teo Lopez (106). Bulldogs’ head coach Donnie Floyd said he wasn’t surprised by his team’s loss despite the fact that Bearden entered the regionals as District 4 champion. “We were the underdog tonight even though we won the district,” he said. “Half of our roster is either freshmen or first-year wrestlers.” Lopez said he was pleased despite his team’s loss. “I thought we wrestled really well even though we didn’t have a lot of experience,” he said. Garabrandt agreed. “I thought we were extremely tough for having such a young team,” he said. “We’ve worked really hard.”
“She’s a very good player; she’s so difficult to guard one-on-one so we tried to help a little off of that and try to maybe have her catch a little higher than she might like.

Wallace prepares ‘History of Quilting’ Quilt to be presented during opening reception at ‘Quilt Show 2015: The Love of Quilts,’ Feb. 13
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Lynda Wallace of Farragut has been quilting for about 30 years, off and on, but when she retired she started quilting every day, she said. “I love to be creative and make my own designs, and I like color,” Wallace said. Wallace will present a history of quilting during an opening reception for Farragut Folklife Museum’s upcoming quilt show. Farragut residents are invited to celebrate the Valentine’s Day weekend with the museum as it hosts “Quilt Show 2015: The Love of Quilts” from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Friday Feb. 13; from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, and from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15, in Farragut Town Hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive. The opening reception, to honor quilters, is slated from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13, in Town Hall. The show and reception are free and open to the public, Lauren Cox, Farragut special events and program coordinator, said.
Wallace said she worked with AT&T until she retired in 1991. Then, she became more dedicated to quilting. A love of design led her to quilting, Wallace said. “I saw a quilt and I liked it, and I had some of my grandmother’s quilts,” she added. “Quilting is my way of expressing how I feel and what I see,” Wallace said. “People ask why I don’t make quilts to match my house,’ she added. “That’s not why I do it. I like [the quilts] to be visually pleasing to other people. Not everyone likes the same thing, so I like to make quilts to make people stop and look. “All my quilts have a name, even if I give it away,” Wallace said. “It’s an expression, like music or art. I seldom, if ever, follow a pattern.” Wallace said she is glad the museum committee asked her to participate in the quilt show. “I love to be in quilt shows,” she said. “I love to be challenged. I like to know what people think.” Wallace grew up in Ohio before she moved to the Norris Lake area and then to Farragut three

years ago. The show will feature nearly 50 vintage, new and unique quilts, ranging in age from more than a
century old to modern day, Cox said. Another aspect of the show is a special exhibit, “Wearable Art.” It
will include quilted accessories and clothing items. See WALLACE on Page 10B

Farragut area fans of Tennessee Volunteers Baseball can greet and speak with coaches and players, and tour the area’s newest baseball training facility, just a few miles east of Town limits this weekend. A two-hour meet and greet session with UT head coach Dave Serrano, his coaching staff and players, is from 5 to 7 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 8, in Diamond Baseball Simcox Academy’s 25,000-square-foot facility just off Kingston Pike, 200 Center Park Drive. It opened in November 2014. The public is invited, free of charge.
Jeff Senzel, facility founder, manager and former owner, and Larry Simcox, hitting/fielding coordinator and instructor for whom Simcox Academy is named, have instructed scores of Farragut High School players among their several hundred clients — including a handful of college and professional players — for more than six years. The duo are parents of former Farragut Admirals All-state infielders turned UT Vols A.J. Simcox, junior shortstop, and Nick Senzel, sophomore infielder/designated hitter. During a press conference inside Lindsey Nelson Stadium Thursday afternoon, Jan. 29, Serrano said, “My relationship with Diamond Baseball is with
Larry Simcox,” former Vols assistant coach (1995 and ’96) and All-SEC shortstop at Ole Miss in the early 1980s. “I have a relationship I’ve formed now with Tony Holland, the owner of that academy now. “Larry Simcox and I go way back. … It’s a friendship but it’s also a personal relationship, too, of us being partners when we had a lot of success here at The University of Tennessee,” Serrano added. A.J. Simcox is a two-year starter at shortstop. “I expect his experience of having two good summers in Summer Ball, one in Alaska in the Cape Cod [League] and that experience, and two full See VOLUNTEERS on Page 4B

Kelly, Howe lock down ‘teacherpreneur’ grants ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Farragut High School’s anatomy and physiology classes, and Hardin Valley Academy’s world language classes soon will get a big boost thanks to persuasive “Teacherpreneur” innovative proposals earning locals grants. Holly Kelly, FHS anatomy and physiology teacher, and Beth Howe, HVA French teacher, were two of six teacher applicants in Knox County Schools system to receive the inaugural “Teacherpreneur” grants from Knox County Great Schools Partnership and KCS. It was announced Tuesday, Dec. 16. Among “more than 45” applicants systemwide according to a KCS press release, Kelly and Howe were chosen because their proposals had “the potential for the highest impact on student learning and success,” in the judgment of “a panel of experi-
enced educators” representing GSP and KCS who chose the recipients. Kelly’s “Interdisciplinary Anatomy Physiology Project” proposal resulted in a $7,782 grant. Howe’s “Foreign Language Lab” proposal earned a $13,040 grant. To purchase “15 sets” of plastic skeletons — each “maybe 30 inches tall” after students attach the bones — as part of a kit also including clay from which to create organs, muscles and other body parts, Kelly said she wants her six classes of students (about 28 per class) to go well beyond “just memorizing things, I want them to really learn. “And one of the ways of learning is not just reading or looking at one-dimensional diagrams, it’s getting hands-on. … A lot of students today learn more easily if they can feel it and touch it,” Kelly, in her fifth school year at FHS, added. “… You learn the basic body systems through this
manipulation of clay. … The students use the clay to model the organs that fit into each of the body cavities” within the skeleton. The brain … the stomach, the intestines and such. “It’s called building the body from the inside out.” Embracing the motto used by the Colorado company from which she’s purchasing the kits, “’The mind cannot forget what the hands have learned,’” Kelly said. “It’s pretty cool.” Howe, who has been at HVA since the school opened in fall 2008, led the way toward getting her school a portable “language lab … because we don’t have the space here for an actual lab.” She requested and will receive “35 iPad Minis and 35 headsets with microphones and a charging cart,” Howe said. “This will be great because we have seven language teachers and this way we’ll See GRANTS on Page 5B
Free online tutoring available for Farragut students ■ TAMMY CHEEK
tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut and other students with a Knox County Library card can get help with their homework or keep up with subjects using a free online tutor. With their Knox County Public Library card, students of all ages have access to Tutor.com, an online tutoring program, at knoxlib.org/tutor. The program provides highquality, real-time, online tutoring and homework help daily from 3 to 10 p.m., Mary Pom Claiborne, Knox County Library communica-
tions administrator, said. “We are actually thrilled to have that resource,” Claiborne said. “It has made such a difference in students’ lives.” She added students are asked to comment anonymously at the end of the session. “This website has, more than once, saved my math grade,” one students said. "I really love this online tutoring,” another student said. “I have always needed a bit more help than others and have always felt shy about asking for help. Asking for help when everyone else around me seemed to have
got it really made me feel stupid. Now with online tutoring, I don't feel stupid or needy. I know my grades are already going to be improving.” When a student goes to the site, he or she will be connected to a tutor. “This company has done a lot of work to get expert tutors,” Claiborne said. “[Tutors] don’t just give the answers, they give resources and help students learn how to learn. “It certainly has a lot of success,” she added.

Five things you don’t have to do today I’ve never been a fan of making a To Do list every day, probably because most of my work is a habit and I’ve never been too busy to do the next thing that needs to be done on a daily basis. 3x5 cards really helped me when I was a busy, young mom and homemaker, because they gave me direction without having to make a daily list. I’ve had w o m e n admit to me that they put things th- Pam ey’ve done Young on a list, so Make it they can cross them Fun! off. That str-ikes me funny! I’ve never needed to feel that productive. If you have to make a To Do list, maybe your life’s too busy. Think of ways to simplify it so you can appreciate more moments in this thing called life that’s whizzing by you without your notice. Just like we don’t know how fast our little planet is spinning and flying through the cosmos, we miss the speed in which our lives are hurtling through time. It’s only when we see photographs of the past or run into an old friend we haven’t seen in
years, that we notice the changes. So, if you’re inclined to make lists and add auxiliary tasks you did that weren’t on the list in the first place so you can cross them off and feel more productive, here are 5 things you don’t have to do today. Now if you want to write them down so you can cross them off, you’re going to have to write the word “don’t” in front of each one. Oh, and while you’re at it, add to that list, Have a wonderful day! Today, you don’t have to: 1. Rob a Bank 2. Jump off a Bridge 3. Join the Circus 4. Lock Your Kids in a Box Car 5. Run Off with the UPS Guy If you do make this list, just a word of caution; don’t leave it lying around. Your family might think you’re certifiable and we need you to be the wonderful, peace keeper in your home that you are. Thank you for reading my column! I hope you’ll share it with someone who otherwise just might be tempted to run off and join the circus.

big, physical athlete,” Serrano said. “People will know who’s hitting behind Christin [Stewart], especially being in the four-hole for us.” While Serrano said catching and first base would be “platoon” areas, one of those in the running at first is former Bearden High School star Derek Lance, a junior. Lance also could see time as designated hitter according to Serrano. The Vols’ pitching staff also includes sophomore righthander Kyle Serrano, the head coach’s son who is a former Admirals staff ace. Other former Farragut area high school stars also on UT’s roster are Parker Wormsley (senior infielder, Webb School of Knoxville) and Eric Freeman (redshirt freshman pitcher, FHS).

Wise recounts Obama visit to PSCC ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Dr. L. Anthony Wise Jr, president of Pellissippi State Community College, said he received a rather startling message Monday afternoon, Dec. 22. “I had gone home and I was putting up Christmas decorations and doing a little shopping, and a colleague of mine at TNAchieves calls and said, ‘Hey, The White House is trying to get a hold of you,’” Wise said about his first knowledge of what became a from President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to PSCC Friday, Jan. 9. “I’m thinking about the list of reasons why The White House
would want to get a hold of me,” Wise added as guest speaker during The Rotary Club of Farragut’s weekly Wednesday lunchtime meeting in Fox Den Country Club clubhouse Jan. 14. Recalling his instructions to his colleague, Wise said, “’Here’s my cell phone number, give it to them and I’ll sit around and wait for The White House to call.’ Not many chances you get to say that in life.” Recalling various details of Obama’s first visit to Knox County since taking office as President in January 2009, Wise said, “… The White House called about 10 minutes later. The additional conversation was, ‘We’re interested in the college access program,

TNPromise. It started in the state and we want to have a conversation about that. “We’re also interested in Pellissippi State because a lot of things you’ve done over the course of the last five, six, seven years,’” Wise added. “[PSCC] has been heavily involved with the Department of Energy and the Department of Labor in several grant efforts.

Charting your course During this past Christmas, we had a houseful of guests, most of whom traveled a long way to get to East Tennessee. One family member in particular had planned to make the drive from New England with her significant other, but ended up having to come on her own. When she arrived, she commented that this was quite possibly the furthest she had driven alone but that her trip was uneventful largely because she had a GPS to guide her and had preplanned her stops along the way. She likely wouldn’t have had the confidence to make the trip at all had she not planned ahead and secured additional guidance. I think most of us would agree that advance preparation is a good idea for any journey. Yet, this mindset often doesn’t get applied to our financial lives. Charting a course to retirement doesn’t occur to many people until they decide it’s time to stop working. In reality, managing your money for a lifetime is less like driving across the state
and more like trying to sail around the world. It’s setting a destination, charting a course, and then making adjustments along the way as challenges arise. The tricky part is getting back on tack once the seas settle. Here are a few things you can do to ensure that you arrive on your terms: Focus on your destination. It’s easy to lose sight of the long- term when you’re middle of a storm, but it’s important to remember this trial will pass. Life can throw you curveballs. That’s why it’s important to review your financial goals annually and make adjustments within the context of your long-term plan. Storm’s a’ coming. Batten down the hatches. Don’t let fear guide your investment decision-making. Hasty, emotionally charged decisions often turn out to be regrettable. During 20082009, many investors reduced their stock exposure AFTER prices had fallen when it actually was a good time to be buying stocks. Prepare for
the next threatening market storm by investing your time and energy into having a financial plan before the storms arrive. Assess damage and reevaluate your course – After you faced a storm, it’s time to see how far off you are to your destination and adjust your course accordingly. For instance, if you still want to retire at the same age, that may require that you lower your retirement income needs. Or, you may have to work longer to have the same living standard in retirement. Then it’s just back to the basics: save more, spend less. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your destination and the comfort of having a solid plan in place to get there can make the adventure of your journey even more enjoyable.

Grace Christian grad, Yale senior, touts his Ivy League school at FHS ■
Super Bowl ‘Ps & Qs’
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
At least one Ivy League school is using local talent to recruit some of Farragut and West Knox County’s top high school achievers. Yale University, New Haven, Conn., sent one of its undergraduates — senior Davis Frank, a 2011 graduate of Grace Christian Academy — to sell the merits of this globally respected research university and liberal arts college Friday, Jan. 9. At FHS just before noon, Frank spoke and used a slide presentation in front of 21 students-mostly seniors and juniors with at least one sophomore in the school’s library classroom for roughly 45 minutes. Frank also visited Hardin Valley Academy, Bearden and Oak Ridge high schools Jan. 9. “I guess this is the most important thing I want to stress, is how Yale makes it affordable for anyone,” Frank, a political science major who is applying to law school, said. A back-up defensive lineman for the Yale Bulldogs Football team, Frank added, “I had football scholarship [offers] from other schools close like Tennessee Tech and Carson-Newman, and I was like, ‘Even if I got into Yale, how am I going to pay the $65,000 a year?’ “Yale offers one of the best financial aid plans in the country. … The average grant there is $41,000 a year. … If your family makes less than $65,000 a year, you get a full ride to Yale. It really helped me to make the decision to go there.” Among other Yale merits Frank pointed out was “really small classes” for “5,000 undergraduates and

6,000 graduate students.” Socially, “The small college environment allowed me to get to know people really well,” Frank said. “… New Haven is probably about the size of Knoxville. Not too big, not too small.” Jaime Ragos, an FHS senior, said she had an interview with Yale scheduled for Jan. 10. “I’m planning on going through the pre-med track. … I’ve always wanted to be a doctor since I was 3. … I was thinking asthma and allergy,” Ragos, with a 4.44 grade point average, said. “When I was 6
years old I had my dream Ivy League school, and it was Yale. I really don’t know why, but I think it was because it was a blue color. I have really corny stories for why I applied to so many schools. “Hearing that Yale was one of the better medical colleges has been an incentive to make me do well in school.” Mihir Barot, an FHS junior who said he plans to pursue a law degree, added, “Yale has always been one of my top collegiate choices.” See YALE on Page 10B

be able to wheel it around from classroom to classroom” for French, Spanish, Chinese, German and Latin classes. Although somewhat similar carts currently are in use at HVA, “Currently all teachers have access to the others. But this will be something just owned by the [language] department,” Howe said. “This is a huge improvement. It’s going to incredible.” Instead of using outdated “mini-recorders that students would have to hold and speak to
in various corners of the hallway,” the new iPads Minis will be “something where they put the headsets on, listen to it prompt and then speak directly into the mikes and upload it,” Howe said. “… Now all students can be speaking at once into the microphone. It’ll be fantastic for their speaking skills. “And you can do so much problem-based learning with these devices, too. Every student has a device right there they can use to get access to the Internet and look up [information] for research,” she added.

Farragut Primary School celebrates 100 days ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Children at Farragut Primary School celebrated 100 days of school Thursday, Jan. 22, with special projects that helped them understand the number 100. “We tried to integrate 100 Days into all our subject areas,” second-grade teacher Melinda Webster said. For example, Webster said her students dressed like a 100-yearold. They used an aging app on the computer to age their faces so they could see what they might look like if they were 100 years old, Webster added. Students also wrote a story of what they would do when they turned 100, she said, adding they used a Tide outline method to teach them how to write. “Second-grade teachers Lori

into two things the President wanted to talk about … how to increase access to the nat-ion’s community colleges, visiting a place that had really been at the heart of trying to come up with an idea of dealing with that, and also a chance to talk about the changes in manufacturing in technology.” Instructed not to disclose his conversation with The White House, Wise added, ‘We’ll call you
Moore and Laura Mitchell went to a workshop this past summer,” Webster added. “They brought back the information on the Tide graphic organizational tool.” “We’re going to write about if we were 100 years old, what we’re going to do, and we add the picture,” second-grader Sarah Kate Hastey said. “We did an app to a picture of ourselves with wrinkles.” Hastey said when she turns 100 she will have two houses. She said she would like to live close to the beach near Florida, have a pool and go on cruises. Classmate Joey Chaveriat said he will probably try to discover and make new things, such as live pigs with human heads. “I want to be an inventor when I grow up,” second-grader Matthew Wang said. “I would like to invent a homework machine,” Sarah Kate said.
Students in Mitchell’s secondgrade class had their photographs aged and also wrote stories. “We dressed up as if we were 100, and wrote what it would be like to be 100,” Mitchell said. “We took an aging booth app and aged the students’ photos.” Other grades also participated in that project. “We had a blast making our 100-year-old people with pictures I had printed,” Julianna Shpik, second-grade teacher, said. Another project on which Mitchell and Webster’s classes worked was a board of hearts to show 100 acts of kindness. “Twenty students each had to bring in five hearts and write five ways to be kind to other,” Webster said. ”We stapled all those up this morning.” “We’re going to tie [the proj-
back between Christmas and New Year’s and let you know if this is really going to take place.’” Vacationing at Disney World in Orlando … “wondering around Epcot Center … when I got the second call from The White House,” Wise said. “… A lot of concern about the visit because the President and Vice President were on campus together. It’s my understanding that this was the first time in two, two-and-a-half years that they had been together in the same location outside of
Washington, D.C … In a lot of ways it was like a White House event that took place on our campus.” On a personal level, “The biggest question was, ‘How can you get me a couple of tickets in that auditorium?’” Wise said. “We clearly didn’t get as many people in there as we wanted to, but it turned out to be a great, great day.” Dispelling rumors that he ate lunch with the President, Wise said, “I had a peanut butter sandwich that I snuck into the auditori-

Farragut area parents took an opportunity to one-stop shop for preschools during a West Knox Preschool & Activities Fair. The free event, hosted by MOMS Club of KnoxvilleFarragut, Tenn. Saturday, Jan. 24, in First Baptist Church Concord, 11704 Kingston Pike, allowed parents to gather information about preschools in the Farragut area. “I think it’s great,” Sara Jenkins of Knoxville said. “It’s a great opportunity.” “I think it’s wonderful,” Amanda Fairchild of Powell said. The fair had 34 preschools and activity booths, Crystal Yamazaki, MOMS Club member, said. Among the activities were a Knoxville Zoo interactive booth, a craft table and play area with giant LEGO-type bricks. Parents could find out about preschools at private schools, churches, enrichment centers and even music and swimming programs. “Oh, it’s great,” Stephanie Mason, admissions director of Concord Christian School, which provided space for the event at the church, said. “We’re thrilled.” “This is our second year doing the preschool fair,” Yamazaki
said. “We’re doing a lot of community projects that benefit families. Having the schools all in one place makes it a lot easier [for parents].” “It’s very well organized,” Whitney Cusick of Lenoir City said. “There’re lots of preschools to choose from, as well as lots of activities. “I’m here to try to find a preschool for my 2-year-old, and so far, everyone has been knowledgeable,” she added. “We’re trying to find what’s in the area that’s available,” Dawn McGehee, who recently moved to
the area, said. “I love this [event],” she added. “I think it’s a great way for moms to learn about preschools and get information.” Brad Barko of Lake Ridge subdivision said he also is new to the area and thought the event was awesome. “We’ve been looking all around for a school for Elliott, and this is a good place to get the information all in one place,” Barko said. “[The fair] is a good chance to see all the preschools in one See PRESCHOOLS on Page 10B

Yale From page 5B
Barot (GPA between 4.2 and 4.3) said Yale fits him well because it’s “not to big, not too small, has a certain sense of diversity. Would be a fitting second home type of environment for me. … I’ve had family attend Yale. I’ve been there for visits.” Eunice Baek, a sophomore, she said she “really likes the area that it’s in” having visited New Haven with family members last summer. “It was a really good environment. … Everybody already seemed to know each other before they got to know each other,” she added. “I liked how Davis emphasized how close everybody is.” Looking ahead toward a major, “I was thinking either international studies or pre-med or law,” Baek, also considering Johns Hopkins University and Columbia, said.

Tutor.com was made available to Knox County students in the 2013-14 academic year through a pilot program, sponsored by Tennessee State Library with Knox County Schools and Knox County Public Library, she said. “By all accounts, the program was a great success with more than 4,100 total sessions and 3,069 individual tutoring sessions,” she said. “Although the state library was not able to continue to support Tutor.com, Knox County Public Library has continued to offer the service since the end of the pilot program.” “We are pleased to be able to continue this service for students of Knox County,” Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett said. “With a library card, individualized help is available to Knox County students, whether they are home-schooled, in public schools or enrolled in a private or parochial school.” Tennessee State Library reported usage rates between Sept 2013 and May 2014 showing math accounted for 57 percent of all sessions. Science tutoring sessions came in second with 21 percent, followed by English, 13 percent; social studies, 6 percent, and writing 2 percent.
