HOAs weigh in on land use ■

EDC focuses on land use

Power of lightning

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

Three homeowners association presidents participated in a land use plan focus group Wednesday, April 4, although all homeowners association presidents were invited. John-Paul Renier of Village Green, Sue Groves of Park Place and Barb Moseley of Cottages at Pryse Farm helped consultants from Winston Associates determine the best and worst qualities of life in Farragut. “I like what Farragut has become,” Moseley said. “We’re not a strict bedroom community like I’ve heard us described,” she added. “We have the best of both worlds here,” Groves said, referring to Farragut’s inclusion in a larger metro area but small-town feel. The trio complimented Farragut’s planning, aesthetic and building restrictions, including sign and light ordinances, as well as on the Town’s extensive park and greenway systems. “I’m glad it’s very well planned rather than happenstance,” Groves said. “There’s an impressive park system here.” The HOA presidents were one of several focus groups that met to discuss Farragut’s land use plan last week, with the ideas generated by the groups set to be discussed at a public meeting sched-

If anyone has not seen what can happen when lightning strikes a tree just take a look at this large tree that was hit Thursday night, April 5, off Glenn Abbey Boulevard between Kohl’s department store and Shiloh condominiums in Farragut, says Gene Larson of Shiloh. The large 12-15-inch diameter trunk of this tree split and all of the bark was scattered. This tree is directly opposite the west entrance to Kohl’s off Glenn Abbey Boulevard.

During discussions with Farragut’s comprehensive land use plan consultants, members of the Town’s economic development committee wondered whether the Town could — or should — pursue building a downtown district. Jeff Winston of Winston Associates asked EDC members where downtown was. “There isn’t one,” EDC chair Ginny McLain-Tate, of BB&T, said. The comprehensive land use plan will help Farragut dictate how land should be developed or redeveloped in future, with an eye toward the Town’s vision and goals. The focus groups — including one with the EDC — were held April 3-4 and will help create preliminary ideas to be vetted in public meetings beginning in May. “The heart of Farragut is right in this area,” McLain-Tate said of the Kingston Pike/Campbell Station Road intersection, commonly thought of as the center of Farragut. Farragut has bandied about the idea of constructing a downtown for years, including one plan for a town center district to

FBA, TDS bring art to the parks ■

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

Farragut Business Alliance invites the public to spend a spring weekend in April touring Farragut’s parks and chatting with painters during the second annual Art in the Park, presented by TDS Telecom. Art in the Park is a plein air event, featuring artists painting on location in Farragut parks and public spaces from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, April 21-22. The Dogwood Arts Festival event will culminate with a reception for the artists — and a public showing of the finished pieces at Red Line Gallery in Village Green shopping center from 7 to 9 p.m., Friday, April 27. The pieces will be for sale. “Each artist will have the piece they create on site and they’ll also have a studio piece, and all of it will be for sale,” said FBA executive director Allison

Sousa. The sale price will be split between the artist and the FBA. “And our hope is that we will be able to purchase one of the commemorative iron park benches, designated as being from the Farragut Business Alliance and Art in the Park. That’s the ultimate goal: to give back to the parks,” Sousa said. Twenty-five artists are participating in Art in the Park this year. “That’s a 40 percent increase over last year. We’re very excited,” Sousa said. “There was a huge interest this year,” she added. Artists will paint on location at Campbell Station Park, Mayor Bob Leonard Park, McFee Park, Anchor Park, Farragut Town Hall and the Farragut Memorial Plaza, the historic Pleasant Forest Cemetery, Old Concord and off Bridgemore Boulevard. This year’s event also will feature on-site musicians and a mini-lesson provided by Allied

• April 4: Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a Forest Crest Drive woman and charged her with a Class E Felony after Kohl’s department store personnel confronted her attempting to remove nearly $600 in merchandise from the store without paying for it. Complainant stated the arrestee was observed removing several pieces of jewelry throughout the store and then enter the fitting room. The arrestee allegedly brought two pairs of scissors and removed the bar codes and price tags and placed them in the pockets of jeans she attempted to place on hold. Complainant stated several jewelry boxes were found in the store’s shoe department in which the arrestee was observed. Jewelry matching the empty boxes was found in the arrestee’s purse. The arrestee was taken into custody and also issued a trespass warning from the store. • April 3: A Bicentennial Way resident reported to police a 1985 Chevrolet Caprice was missing from an I-40/75 at Watt Road location. Complainant stated the vehicle broke down and when he returned to pick it up, it was gone. • April 3: A Kearney Way resident reported to police that she discovered money missing from her purse while visiting her mother at a nearby medical facility. Complainant stated $200 was missing. • April 2: Police were dispatched to Turkey Creek Medical Center to investigate an assault claim. The victim, a Black Road man, told police he was walking to his truck, which was parked at TA Truck Stop off Lovell Road, when an unknown black male came up behind him and inflicted a nearly 3-inch laceration in his back before taking his wallet. The wallet

contained more than $400 in cash. The victim transported himself to TCMC. • April 1: A worker at Petro Truck Stop off Watt Road reported the theft of four CB antennas from the property. A description of the semi truck the suspect was driving was given to investigating officers. • April 1: A Webb Road resident was arrested at Kohl’s department store in Farragut after store personnel caught him leaving the store wearing a pair of shoes for which he had not paid. The arrestee was issued a misdemeanor citation and escorted off the premises. • April 1: A Normandy Drive woman called police upon discovering her home had been burglarized upon returning home after a week’s absence. Entry was made by forcing open a rear door. Complainant advised several of her neighbors’ homes had been burglarized during the same period. Detectives advised the woman some of her property may have already been recovered. • March 31: Police were dispatched to Wild Wing Café off Campbell Lakes Drive on a disturbance call. Complainant told police he called when a large fight broke out inside the business around 11 p.m. Employees were able to get the fighting parties outside the business. As one of the combatants, the arrestee, was leaving, he allegedly punched the front door breaking the glass. When officers arrived, the arrestee was in front of the business yelling, cursing and engaging in a fight with another male. The arrestee, a Duzane Drive resident, was taken into custody, charged with public intoxication and felony vandalism. Cost to replace the front door is estimated to be about $1,200.

be built on former mayor Eddy Ford’s property off Kingston Pike that was abandoned due to the recession. But some EDC members thought the downtown idea perhaps should be dropped. “Seventy-five percent of the corners [at the Kingston Pike/Campbell Station intersection] are empty. I’m not sure we’re right about this being the center,” Phil Dangel, The Shrimp Dock owner, said. “There is so much empty space in spots we think are good, but we aren’t able to fill them,” he added. David Purvis, Farragut Wine & Spirits owner, said, “I sometimes feel we’re trying to take ourselves back to another time, and that [downtown] doesn’t work anymore.”

“I don’t think we could take this intersection and build a downtown around it — it would be too difficult and I don’t think it would be viable anyway,” he added. Alderman Bob Markli said many municipalities are spending millions trying to rehabilitate existing downtowns, and Farragut’s retail core already had shifted toward the Interstate and Turkey Creek. “There’s no putting that chicken back in the coop,” he said. He wondered if Kingston Pike couldn’t become a social activity center, with offices, restaurants and community-based small tenants, a community center, churches, sports facilities and such. “You don’t look at it for revenue potential. Farragut is a residential town,” he said. That led EDC to another

vision for Farragut — one that includes more apartment buildings. “Bring the age we’re looking for into Town,” Dangel said of a younger generation of potential Farragut residents. Apartment buildings even could be constructed on vacant properties that currently are zoned commercial. “Would you want apartments on a former grocery store site? Probably not. But a former grocery store next to a creek and a path? Maybe,” Winston said. Those types of ideas are the purpose of a comprehensive land use plan, Winston said. The process was about identifying the areas subject to change — for example, Farragut’s vacant commercial properties — and then establish a vision for how those areas should

redevelop. According to Winston, the comprehensive land use plan

also will include an action plan to take those ideas from dream to reality.

Land Use

shouldn’t be redeveloped to necessarily compete with Turkey Creek, but to fill gaps Turkey Creek doesn’t fill. “I’d like to see Farragut stay as it is,” Renier said, indicating he liked seeing Farragut as a largely residential community, with Turkey Creek being “a little too much.” “Do we need more? I’m not so sure,” he said. The three also wanted to see increased connectivity among greenways, rather than links without connections, and were amenable to Farragut’s downtown concept — the Town Center District — being rediscussed.

uled for 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 8. “It’s an important thing because it takes everybody’s input,” Renier said of the land use plan, which helps Farragut designate how land should be developed and redeveloped. The three HOA presidents also had ideas for how Farragut should look in the future, particularly in reference to currently empty shopping centers along Kingston Pike. “Turkey Creek really enhanced the Town,” Moseley said. “But on the other hand, it’s shifted and now you have an ‘old Farragut.’” Groves said Kingston Pike

Good things are continuing to happen in the town of Farragut. Last weekend West End Center hosted its inaugural Community Easter Festival. The community event featured egg hunts as well as a trackless train, inflatables and the chance for children to interact with Rural Metro fire trucks and Knox County Sheriff’s Office robotic equipment. The event drew hundreds of participants — young and old — with sidewalk sales, face painting, music and a special appearance by the Easter Bunny. If you missed this event, mark your calendar to look for it next year. On the horizon is the second annual Art in the Park event hosted by Farragut Business Alliance and TDS Telecom, you know, the telephone company. The public is invited to spend a spring weekend outdoors in Farragut parks chatting with painters as they create scenic works of art depicting your favorite views. This is Farragut’s only Dogwood Arts Festival event and one not to miss. This year, 25 artists will be participating, scattered around Campbell Station, Mayor Bob Leonard, McFee and Anchor parks as well as Farragut Town Hall, Farragut Memorial Plaza, Pleasant Forest Cemetery, Old Concord and off Bridgemore Boulevard in Bridgemore subdivision. Spectators will be treated to on-site musicians and a mini-lesson provided by Allied Music Instructors. Oh, and don’t forget the kids. This year a “Cookie Art” event just for children will be held in the pavilion in Campbell Station Park. A reception for the artists and a chance to purchase the artwork will be held at Red Line Gallery in Village Green shopping center Friday, April 27. “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” this year’s theme for the annual Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce Silent and Live Auction is slated for April 20, at Rothchild Catering and Conference Center. The last chance to buy tickets to the event is Monday, April 16. This is a great event with a lot of bargains and mingling take place. Go to www.farragutchamber.com for information.

A LOCALLY OWNED FAMILY BUSINESS

Wendy D. Schopp AAMSÂŽ, CRPCÂŽ

Financial Advisor

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re relatively young, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been investing only a few years, you possess an asset that is invaluable and cannot be replaced: time. And the more time you spend contributing to taxadvantaged investments, the better off you may be. As an investor, time is your ally for two reasons. First, the more time you give to your growth-oriented investments, the greater their growth potential. And second, the effects of market volatility have tended to decrease over time, though as you no doubt have heard, past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Clearly, it pays to put time on your side. And when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re investing in taxadvantaged vehicles, time becomes an even more critical component of investment success, especially when you are young and have several decades ahead of you before you retire. Suppose, for example, that you put $200 per month into an investment on which you paid taxes every year. If you earned a hypothetical 7% return on this investment, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d end up with about $324,000 after 40 years. But if you put that same $200 per month into a taxdeferred investment, such as a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), and you earned that same 7% return, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wind up with about $513,000 after 40 years. Of course, once you starting taking withdrawals, presumably when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re retired, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to pay taxes on your earnings, so your after-tax accumulation would be about $385,000, assuming you took your IRA in a lump sum (which most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t) and also assuming you were in the 25% tax bracket. However, by the time you retire, you may be in a lower bracket.

Put Time - and Tax-Advantaged Investments on Your Side Plus, you have some control over how much you withdraw each year, so you may be able to affect the taxes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay. Furthermore, depending on your income level, your contributions to a traditional IRA may be tax-deductible in the years in which you make the contributions. (Keep in mind that this hypothetical example is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent a specific investment or investment strategy.) While tax deferral is obviously a nice feature for an investment, tax-free may be even better. If you meet the income requirements, you might want to consider investing in a Roth IRA, which provides tax-free earnings withdrawals, provided youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve held your account for at least five years and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start taking withdrawals until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at least age 59?. This means that, in the above example, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have accumulated that same $513,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay taxes on your withdrawals. Generally speaking, the Roth IRA may make more financial sense for those who are eligible, but if you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in a lower tax bracket when you retire, and your income level permits you to deduct some of your contributions, you may want to consider a traditional IRA. Consult with your tax advisor for guidance on the most appropriate approach for your situation. When it comes to building resources for retirement, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost impossible to save and invest â&#x20AC;&#x153;too much.â&#x20AC;? So take full advantage of both time and tax-advantaged investments. By putting these investments to work for you, and by keeping them at work, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be putting time on your side as you work toward your financial goals.

Terrah Banakas has opened her own massage therapy business in Renaissance | Farragut, with an open house planned for April 13. “I do a lot of therapeutic work, for people who have chronic conditions or something they’ve been trying to get worked out,” Banakas said. Banakas offers deep tissue, relaxation, sports and chair massages and aromatherapy. Banakas will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday, April 13, and invites the public to “come in and check it out.” Massage by Terrah Banakas is located in suite 204 in Renaissance, 12740 Kingston Pike, next to Seasons Café. Banakas is offering discounts during April. While Banakas does offer some relaxation massage, she specializes in therapeutic work, which focuses on problem areas or even chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia. “We really focus in on that muscle group and all the muscles that are being pulled out of alignment,” Banakas said. “People don’t necessarily have to come in to get a full-body massage, but they might come in just for that one area to work on, and they might make it a shorter appointment and more frequent during the month.

“I like to help those people,” she added. Banakas also offers energy work, a unique treatment that focuses on positive energy. “Some people have a chronic illness and can’t have a lot of their lymph moved around in traditional massage styles,” she said. For such clients, “the best you can do is have an intent to heal. That energy goes a long way. “I explain it to people that when you go into a room and there’s so much tension you feel you could cut it with a knife, that’s negative energy. So you want to try to put [out] positive energy, healing energy, prayer,” Banakas said. Banakas said energy work is available to clients who request it. “It’s not as popular, but it is something people can request. And if they can find it here, they’ll know where to go when they want it,” she said. Banakas also offers a “stay well program,” which offers discounts to clients who book massage appointments a month apart, or who buy packages. “Like, if they buy three or six or twelve hours in advance, which they can break up however they choose: they can share it with a family member or break it down into 90 minutes or even a two-hour massage session, they can do that,” Banakas said. She also offers a referral pro-

Farragut rips Mavericks ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

A.J. Simcox led the hit parade for the Farragut High School baseball team Friday afternoon. Simcox, the Admirals senior shortstop, went 4-for-4 with a homer, a triple, two doubles, four runs and six runs batted in, to lead Farragut to a 17-3 victory over Anderson County in the opening round of the DeMarini Diamond Academy Baseball Classic at FHS’s John Heatherly Field April 8. “My extra base hits don’t mean anything if the guys aren’t on in front of me,” Simcox said. “[Center fielder and leadoff hitter] Jammer [Strickland] got four hits and [right fielder and No. 9 hitter] Alex [Schuttler] was on in front of me a couple of times.” Farragut, which improved to 14-4 with the victory over the Mavericks, came to the ballpark trailing ACHS Friday as the contest was suspended late on Thursday, April 5, when a band of severe thunderstorms hammered West Knox County. Anderson County touched up Farragut freshman pitcher Eric Lessig for three runs in the top of the first. The Admirals answered with a pair in the bottom of the frame before inclement weather halted action. The Ads, who trailed 3-2

Farragut used the long ball in that frame as Simcox hit a three-run blast and Chambers hit a solo shot. “All the guys came out ready to play today,” Chambers said.

Bulldogs fell to 6-6. Hardin Valley jumped ahead 30 early, but Bearden bounced back to tie it 3-3 with a pair of runs in the fifth inning. “Timely hitting, we had some clutch hits,” Hickam said. “We had a huge two-out, two-run hit from Kaitlyn Fisher, she’s our [No.] nine hitter, and that was in the sixth, and that was really the biggest hit of the game.” Fisher’s single to right field broke the 3-3 tie, making it 5-3.

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

The goal of McTeachers Night at Farragut McDonald’s was to raise funds toward improving classroom technology at Farragut Intermediate School. But for FIS students on hand to enjoy Big Macs, crispy fries and other treats, “They absolutely love seeing the teachers outside of the classroom,” said Susan Horn, FIS PTA president. Horn’s third-grade daughter, Reagan, was among several FIS families enjoying fun and food — featuring FIS teachers as greeters at both entrances — that extended from 5 to 8 p.m., Thursday evening, March 29. Raising $700, McTeachers Night was held

with the blessing of Jason Burger, McDonald’s franchisee (Farragut and Lenoir City). “I think they were hoping for maybe 10 families, but I already see 15 or 20 coming in here,” said Dacia Maxwell-Hix, FIS PTA member and substitute teacher, around 6 p.m. “This is far beyond what they expected. Teachers were challenging their students to bring their families in.” See MCTEACHER on Page 8B Alan Sloan/farragutpress

Farragut’s Unsung Navy Volunteers reach landmark

■

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

Farragut’s Unsung Navy Volunteers reached a landmark number this past year: they have volunteered more than 100,000 hours since the inception of the program in 1992. Parks and leisure services director Sue Stuhl announced during the FUN banquet Friday, March 30, at Fox Den Country Club, that in 2011, 89 volunteers contributed 4,754 hours, worth about $47,540. Since 1992, volunteers have given 108,019 hours, worth about $1,080,190. The FUN Banquet, which also recognized contribution from 83 volunteers on 12 standing Farragut committees, especially honored one long-standing Town volunteer. Bob Linsell was honored for volunteering for 25 years on the Farragut Folklife Museum Committee. “Bob and his wife, Sandy, both of whom are also long-time FUN volunteers, are moving back to Ohio next month to be close to their children and grandchildren,” Town administrator David Smoak said. “Bob started with the Museum Committee in 1987 when it was first formed. He is the last mem-

ber of the original committee to still serve on the current Farragut Folklife Museum Committee,” he added. Smoak, Mayor Ralph McGill, and aldermen Ron Honken and Bob Markli recognized committee service awards. Reaching the five-year volunteer mark are Loretta Bradley of Farragut Folklife Museum Committee and Marty Layman of Visual Resources Review Board. Reaching the 10-year mark are Stephen Byrd, Bernard Levenson and Ron Jones, all of Board of Plumbing & Gas/Mechanical Examiners. Reaching the 15-year mark are Mary Agnes Schaeffer and Sandy Garber, both of the Arts Council. Reaching the 20-year mark is Mabel Sumner of Beautification Committee. FUN volunteers also were recognized for their service; the FUN volunteers are ranked according to the hours they volunteer, and several volunteers moved up in rank in 2011. New lieutenants are Dixie Andrews, Jack Bondurant, Steve Stow and Mabel Sumner. New commanders are Sandy Garber and Pat Schriver. New captain is Peggy Cameron. New comSee VOLUNTEERS on Page 6B

Farragut Baseball, Inc. helps Parker

HVA student fights Wilson’s disease with help of tournament

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

The Smith family was totally blindsided by Wilson’s disease early in 2011, leaving youngest son, 16-year-old Parker, in a wheelchair and unable to speak. Wilson’s disease – a buildup of copper in the body attacking various organs – was discovered in Parker last April, and is triggered by “a genetic disorder, he got it from his dad [Ed] and I,” said Gina Smith, Parker’s mother. “We don’t have it, but we’re both carriers,” she added. “One in 100 people carry this disorder. It takes two people that are carriers to [pass it on] to your child. And then the child has a one-in-four chance of having it.” Parker Smith Tournament was Farragut Baseball Inc.’s way of helping the family pay for mounting medical bills for Parker, a first baseman in Mickey Mantle League clinging to hope for a full recovery. “Of all the kids on the team, he’s probably the one with the best strength and resolve to be able to handle an adversity such as this,” said assistant coach Jeff Jansen, whose Mickey Mantle team was among several FB, Inc. youth teams that played in the three-day fundraising tournament FridaySunday, March 30-April 1, at Northshore Fields. “He’s been playing baseball since he’s been 5,” Gina said. In February 2011, “He started having what I thought were neurological symptoms,” Gina said. “His balance was off and his voice was slowing, he wasn’t speaking as fast as normal. He was weaker and not as loud.” “His expression on his face was different.” Taken to “orthopedic and pediatric” physicians locally without a successful diagnosis, the Smiths finally got Parker’s Wilson’s disease diagnosis at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville after “an emergency room visit” April 8.

The news about Parker “actually was not devastating,” Gina said. “I was afraid it would be something so much worse.” Parker currently is unable to walk, speak or even hold his eyelids open without having to use his hands, Gina said. “It’s like a spasm in the eyelids.” Through it all, “doctors said it was definitely treatable and that there was a very good chance that he would have a complete recovery,” Gina said. However, “It has taken longer than we expected that it would … he has not gotten better yet.” With the Smiths members of First Baptist Concord, “The people there are always offering to help,” Gina said, also including “Shriners” and “the baseball team” among other groups and individuals helping provide “a financial cushion. … He has a lot of great, great friends.” That also included “a couple of friends of Parker’s who had benefits for him at Painting With a Twist on Lovell Road,”

Gina added. Having caught up on his schoolwork as a sophomore “part-time” student at Hardin Valley Academy according to Gina, “Parker is a high-achiever and he wants to be psychiatrist.” One good thing has come from an otherwise devastating disease. “I get to spend a lot of time with Parker, and I have gotten to know him so much better,” Gina said. Though Ed lost his job in January 2011, and the family already was without health insurance at that time, “We have insurance now. Things are looking better now,” Gina said. The Smiths’ oldest son, Austin, 17, also has contracted Wilson’s disease. However, “It hasn’t activated in him,” Gina said. “Just knowing you have it, you can treat it. Austin is taking medication now to keep the copper from accumulating in his body.”

Her husband, John ,and boys Aaron (13,) a n d Christian (10) love when she has work Sarah breakfasts Hebbeler because Cooking that means with Sarah they will get French Toast casserole for breakfast. It is simple to double, so she usually makes one casserole for the work breakfast and one casserole for her family. “The best thing about it is that it’s quick, easy, and you can make it the night before and bake it in the morning when you are getting ready for the day,” says Rebecca. Her kids have started to help make this recipe since they enjoy eating it so much! Ingredients: 16 slices of white bread cut into 1/2 inch cubes 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened in microwave 8 large eggs 1 1/2 cups of skim milk 2/3 cup of whipping cream or half-and-half 1/2 cup maple syrup, but any syrup will do 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract powdered sugar, to sprinkle on top Place the bread cubes in a 9x13-inch baking dish that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray.

‘Drive systems’ drive HVA pair Keller and Messing earn regional science-engineering awards

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Seniors Philip Keller and Andrew Messing scored big for illustrating how “two types of drive systems for superior control” would work in motorized vehicles and machines. The result was four awards for these Hardin Valley Academy honors students, including third place overall, during Southern Appalachian Science and Engineering Fair, March 27-29, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “I was confident going in, but

then also winning was definitely still a surprise,” Keller said about the fair, which included top high school science and engineering talent throughout East Tennessee, challenged with illustrating an engineering/scientific evaluation on a poster. Messing and Keller won the Gary Lessman Award, Senior Division, “equivalent to third place overall for the entire fair,” Messing said. The pair earned a trip to Intel’s International Science & Engineering Fair in Pittsburgh, Pa., May 13-18, “which is the

largest pre-college science and engineering fair in the world,” Messing said. “They have about 1,400 students from 65 different countries,” added Messing, whose goal is to become a “mechanical engineer and work specifically with robotics.” Keller, also planning to become a mechanical engineer “focusing on robotics,” said the pair illustrated “an omnidirectional track system, a new type of drive system, which combines two types of drive See DRIVE on Page 9B

systems for superior control.” Students also were judged on presentation skills, interview skills and a research paper “with a mathematical component,” which spelled out “how our system should work; theoretically, how it should move,” Messing said. “And there’s also the experimental component, where we tested the system,” Messing added. “We actually printed it using three-dimensional printers to see if it would work the way it should conceptually.” Areas tested were “mobility, payload capacity — how much weight it could handle — its ability to climb inclines. And there were also several simulations

using computer software,” Messing said. Keller said the pair “worked as a team with one other person on the track system [senior Josh Penney], but he did not participate in the science fair with us,” Keller added. The pair “also were the best in our category of engineering, electrical and mechanical,” Messing said. “We also were awarded an engineering excellence award by the U.S. Army and another award by a local company.” Keller and Messing also earned Superintendent’s Award, “which is hand-selected by Dr. Jim McIntyre, the superintendent of Knox County [schools],” Messing said. Keller said the pair started their project Aug. 3.

Local fan brings ‘Titanic’ collection to Farragut ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Jeraldine Macon of Farragut describes herself as a “head to toe” fanatic about all things having to do with the Titanic. Typifying the excitement inside GemStore by jewelrytelevision Saturday afternoon, April 7, Macon fell in love with, then purchased, a glass crystal bracelet from Margaret “Molly” Brown Collection of GemStore’s Titanic Jewelry Collection. “I’m a member of the Titanic International Society,” Macon said among a crowded store of customers, as the collection takes on special meaning with the upcoming 100th anniversary of Titanic’s infamous collision with an iceberg. GemStore, 9933 Kingston Pike, highlighted its Titanic Jewelry Collection Saturday with an appearance from Jaynee, in character as a “First Class maid” from Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge and collection spokesperson. Jaynee spoke about collections from Brown and seven others among more than a dozen women aboard Titanic whose jewelry is represented in GemStore’s collection. Others include Lucille Lady Duff Gordon, Dorothy Gibson, Eleanor Widener, Madeleine Astor, Edith Russell, Constance Willard, Helene Baxter and Ida Strauss. Jaynee highlighted Madeleine Astor Star Ring and a pearl necklace “that is a true Edwardian look … it’s heavy, there’s substance to it,” she said. “It reminds me of a certain brand you find only in the high-end department stores.” Gordon “was probably the leading fashion designer of 1912, innovator of all kinds of fashion

changes,” Jaynee said. “The Royals, as a matter of fact, they got wind of her designs and all of a sudden she shot like a rocket,” Jaynee added. Gordon Collection’s “quality” pearl necklace has 100 pearls to represent Titanic’s anniversary.

“She always wore this long strand of pearls,” Jaynee said. “I love the pearl shows here at JTV because I think sometimes people forget just how valuable pearls are,” Jaynee added. “I See GEMSTORE on Page 11B

on design, how he wanted it painted and decorated,” Jeannie added. “He sorted through catalogues to look for different designs he liked and decided he wanted to go with an army combat vehicle as a way to honor the soldiers and troops.” And to honor Carder’s grandfathers, retired Army veteran Melvin Korte and retired Navy veteran Graham Rogers Jr., and his father, Graham Rogers III., also a Navy veteran. “They picked out little machine guns. … They went to the craft shop and bought the little model car accessories to mount on it,” Jeannie said. This year’s derby began Friday, March 30, and concluded Saturday, March 31, with final heats and 15 trophies given out, five for first place. Champions were determined in Tigers (first grade), Wolves (second grade), Bears (third grade) and Webelos (fourth and fifth grade) racing on a 30-foot track, starting from a steep angle. Each Den’s top three finishers earned trophies, while each Den champion competed for the overall Pinewood championship. Grand Finals champ was Casey Jardet (Webelos) with his No. 5 “Flash.” Austin Wirtz (Tigers champ) was second overall and Cody Jardet (Webelos champ) took third. Other champs were Drew Smithson (Bears), Sam Miller (Wolves) and Collin Steadman (Open). Jeff Linginfelter, Aiden’s father, said about his first derby almost 30 years ago with help from his father, V.W. Linginfelter, “I don’t think I won, but I do remember

having a lot of fun, … I remember sanding it down. … I did a lot of sanding and painting.” Jeff said camaraderie with his son “was the biggest thing.” In his first Pinewood Derby, Aidan painted his Firebird gold, adding black and red stripes and the patented “Firebird” logo. “It was just really exciting for us to work together on it,” said Sarah Linginfelter, Aiden’s mother. Kris Oosterling, Ian’s dad, said this father-son tandem took “eight or nine hours” to complete Ian’s car. “It was some work, but it was fun. … We actually had some help the first night here with the guys with the saws to help cut the shape of it,” Kris added.

resident P Quotes ‘n Notes by Bettye Sisco

“I have learned the novice can often see things that the expert overlooks. All that is necessary is not to be afraid of making mistakes, or of appearing naive.” — Abraham Maslow A characteristic of great organization is the ability to handle mistakes well. Mistakes are a part of everyday life both personally and professionally; yet the value of taking responsibility, and the effect it has on others is often misunderstood. It is human nature to struggle with taking responsibility or admitting a mistake. But nothing worthwhile comes easy, right? Being mindful of your ability to make mistakes is the first step to handling them well. In business as well as in our personal lives mistakes and errors happen often. It’s the nature of life in a sense. When confronted with a situation where you could be responsible for a mistake, ask yourself the following questions: What role did I or my team play in this situation? What are all of the potential ways I could be responsible for what happened? If it is not my fault, how can I work towards a resolution with the responsible party? Asking these questions allows us to look into the situation and find an answer, rather than take the hands-off approach that can be frustrating for others. Handling it well means following up on 3 crucial levels: 1. Take Responsibility. Simply explain what happened, and apologize. Make sure you NEVER use “but”, “if ” or anyone else’s name. Taking responsibility is not an opportunity to make excuses. Even if the problem was only 10% your fault, most times it is more appro priate to take responsibility for your mistake(s) so that both sides can hopefully move ahead positively. 2. Make it Right. What it takes to make a situation right varies, but don’t hesitate to go over and above the status quo to make situations right. 3. Prevent it From Happening Again. Think strategically. Learn from not only your mistakes, but others as well. Never stop investigating. Every question we have leads us to another and in turn, leads us to success. When mistakes are made, apologizing and making the situation right may not be quite enough. Take very clear steps internally to ensure that the mistake does not happen again. Don’t divide into weak and strong, success or failure, rather learners and non-learners. Because … we all strive to learn a little more each day.

Reserves. Campus Director Debbie Black was given a plaque that will be displayed in a prominent location on campus. Rachel Glandon, CBA, designer with Above the Rest Balloon and Event Designs in Knoxville, TN was awarded 2nd place in the Medium Sculpture Design Competition at the World Balloon Convention which was held in Dallas. Fortyseven countries were represented at the convention, and the Above the Rest team had the honor of being the only American team to win one of the 29 prestigious awards given. Glandon's design entitled, "Spring in the Smokies," consisted of over 6,500 balloons and utilized new techniques that had never been seen in the balloon industry. The sculpture included a 4' black bear in her native habitat of spring flowers, dogwood and pine trees, along with a mountain stream. 1,855 balloons were used to create the bear itself and took 11 hours to construct. The team of 15 members, representing 8 states, worked in a timed 12-hour competition with all work created on site.

Who’s who… by Courtney Such

Authentic Mexican has a whole new meaning Meksiko Cantina brings a whole new meaning to authentic Mexican food in Farragut. In 2010, owner Mario Navarro decided to give the West Knoxville area exactly what it needed, and that is real Mexican Courtney Such food. Navarro has lived in Farragut for the past eleven years and simply states, “I love this town! I have great relationships with customers, neighbors, and my church. That is the reason I opened here. We needed one Mexican spot that was very good and a little upscale with real Mexican flavor.” One quality that makes this Meksiko Cantina different from other restaurants in the area is its variety of Mexican food. The traditional items are all on the menu, but there is an additional twist to the deliciousness. Mario’s hometown is Culiacán, Sinola on the Pacific side of Mexico. Their meals specialize in seafood dishes, so Mario brought the same specialization to the Meksiko Cantina. From the countless steak, chicken, and pork dishes, to the shrimp and fish varieties, everyone is sure to find something on the menu to satisfy the taste buds. The other characteristic that makes Meksiko great is its atmosphere. The classy yet comfortable restaurant allows guests to feel right at home as soon as they walk through the doors. Navarro explains, “We offer great food and a great atmosphere for our neighbors in Farragut. I remember what they drive, where they sit, and even what they order!” These words could not speak any truer or come from a more genuine man. Among many celebrations Meksiko Cantina hosts throughout the year, the Cinco de Mayo is one of the largest. This three day feast starts on Thursday, May 3, and includes a Mariachi band and a Salsa contest while enjoying outside dinning. Friday, May 4 offers a taco bar, drinks, and live music all outside under a huge party tent from 5-10 p.m. Saturday, May 5 includes a big lunch special, live music inside and outside from two bands from 5 p.m. until 1 a.m., prizes, contests, and of course, great food. RSVPs are not required, so be sure to join the Meksiko Cantina gang for their special Cinco de Mayo celebration! To learn more about Meksiko Cantina, visit the website at www.meksikocantina.com, “Like” their Facebook page, and check out some awesome pictures, specials, discounts, and blogs mentioned every day! Stop in for some excellent food at Meksiko Cantina off of Kingston Pike in front of Farragut High School.

Small Business Tips for Securing Local Contracts by Marilyn Cobble Senior Business Specialist

Many small businesses are missing out on potential revenue from government conMarilyn Cobble tracts because they don't understand how to sell to local government. Here are some tips: Learn What Local Government Agencies Need Visit local government agency websites to learn more about their needs and whether or not your business can help them. In most cases you can register and receive electronic notification of new contracts out for bid. Network and Make Connections Make your company and its capabilities known to local government buyers and decision-makers even when you're not pursuing a contract. Many government agencies hold procurement conferences and seminars throughout the year. Attend these conferences to network and build relationships with important agency personnel while gaining first-hand knowledge about selling to local government. Diversity Matters Most government agencies have formal or informal diversity goals in their contracting so if you are a minority-owned business or DBE you may have an advantage in securing contracts. Find out if your local government has a process for documenting your minority status. Explore Teaming Options If it seems your company is too small or inexperienced to win local government contracts, consider subcontracting instead. Prime contractors will often team with a smaller business when necessary to get a job done. Get a list of prime contractors from your local government agencies and then contact them to express an interest in being a subcontractor. TSBDC business specialists can assist you in this process.
