Knox County sheriff visits BOMA ■

Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones addresses Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen members as KCSO Capt. Bobby Hubbs looks on Thursday, April 26, at Town Hall.

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones and sheriff’s officers briefly shared KCSO achievements and Farragut statistics during a Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting Thursday, April 26. “We asked them to come in and give us some statistics about crime rates and response times and all that and they have graciously agreed to do that,” Mayor Ralph McGill said. “I think we do a good job,” Jones said. Capt. Bobby Hubbs, of KCSO crime analysis, said calls to the police from Farragut were up 27 percent from 2004, with 11,509 calls from Farragut residents or business owners in 2011.

The two types of calls KCSO most often receives from Farragut are regarding alarms and traffic problems. That’s followed by officer-initiated activities, warrant services, wrecks and property damage, reports of suspicious persons, requests for investigation, disturbance and theft. The average time KCSO deputies spend on each arrest is 125 minutes. The average time a deputy might spend on transport is 142 minutes, Hubbs said. Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche asked if KCSO still has two officers in the Town at any given time. Capt. Jeff Palmer, Farragut’s new KCSO liaison, said it was more likely to be four deputies in See KCSO on Page 3A

Strategic Plan New Farragut marker unveiled input heard at ■ public meeting ALAN SLOAN

Two of Farragut’s elected officials gathered to hear the opinions of about 20 Farragut-area residents when the Town held a public forum on its Strategic Plan Monday night, April 30. The Strategic Plan outlines Farragut officials’ visions for the next 15 years, breaking down goals into five-year and one-year increments. The strategic plan includes the idea of decorative streetlights, which have attracted citizen criticism recently. “I’m responsible for not getting that information out to you as we should have, and it took on a life of its own in the papers, unfortunately,” Town administrator David Smoak told his audience — which included Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche and Alderman Jeff Elliott — Monday night of the lights, which have been considered for Campbell Station Road and Concord Road at separate times this past year. Will DeLong, of the Villas at Fox Den, told Smoak he was for the decorative lights. “It’s an investment ... to make the Town more beautiful and more charming,” he said. Gary Schmitz of Fox Den said he was in favor of spending money to make the Town look better in general. Bill Truex, Bridgemore, said what would make the roads prettier in Farragut was landscap-

ing, not decorating light poles — pointing to Turkey Creek as an example. The strategic plan also includes the ideas of implementing a hotel/motel tax, developing a town center district, annexing Old Concord, completing an outdoor classroom, initiating architectural standards for commercial buildings and installing WiFi in Town parks, among other things. Mary Ellen Reda, Sugarwood, said she liked the idea of architectural standards. “This is a destination,” she said. Sara Costigan of Waterford said she noticed a community center was absent from plans. “That keeps getting backburnered,” she said. She asked if the Town couldn’t explore a community center by leasing a vacant commercial building in Town, rather than constructing a community center from the ground up. Nearly everyone in attendance was in favor of pursuing the community center when Smoak asked for a show of hands. Reda was a member of the community center committee and said, “Two years was spent on that project.” Gene Larson of Shiloh said he didn’t see plans for any improvements to stormwater systems that run underground in Shiloh See PUBLIC on Page 6A

Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero spiced up a Civil War Trail Marker Dedication ceremony honoring Adm. James David Glasgow Farragut by announcing, during her speech, that she might be related to the Navy’s first admiral. Turning to Lou LaMarche, Farragut Folklife Museum committee chairman who posed as Adm. Farragut in full Navy uniform, Rogero said, “We could be cousins, Admiral. Very, very distant cousins. I’m still trying to figure that out.” Following a number of local and state guest speakers, also including Tennessee Tourism commissioner Susan Whitaker and Hola Hora Latina president Dr. Angela Masini, the treeshaded marker was unveiled near Adm. Farragut’s birthplace at Lowe’s Ferry along Admiral Farragut Park’s shoreline with Fort Loudoun Lake Saturday morning, April 28.

“I’m sure there’s a connection because we all came from the port city of Ciutadella, [Spain], that’s where Jorge [Farragut, the admiral’s father] came from and that’s where my ancestors came from,” Rogero added. “And I don’t think it was that big of a town back then in the 1700s.” The ceremony came amid ris-

ing hopes that a missing granite monument, dedicated more than a century ago, will officially be found and likely placed near that birthplace site adjacent to the trail marker in Adm. Farragut Park soon. Given Adm. Farragut’s See MARKER on Page 5A

deathnotices • CHOBANIAN, John Sarkis, aged 90, died Saturday at home in the presence of his beloved wife of nearly 65 years. John was the first American-born son of parents who fled the genocide of the Christian Armenians by the Ottoman Turks at the outbreak of World War I. Drafted into the army in 1942 he found himself on the liner RMS Queen Mary, which had been converted into a troopship. John was the last known survivor of the U.S. Army Third Auxiliary Surgical Group. During a North Atlantic crossing carrying more than 16,000 GIs to England the ship was struck broadside by an estimated 92-foot killer wave in a gale off the coast of Scotland. The ship rolled 52 degrees before righting itself. When John told the story he always mentioned that he was so seasick he wished the damned thing would have just gone down so he could have been out of his misery. He saw combat in North Africa, Sicily — where he was awarded the Bronze Star for valor — Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge and Rhine crossing. He survived it all without a scratch. After the war, John married the love of his life on a scorching hot July 4 in Philadelphia. Taking advantage of the GI Bill he went on to college and was graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a business degree. His career began with Westinghouse, later RCA and finally with the Charles Bruning Company. He was preceded in death by his parents, Sarkis and Dirouhi Chobanian; and sister, Sema McDermitt. He is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Almas; brothers, Chuck and Bill; son, Dr. Sarkis Chobanian and daughter-inlaw, Dr. Ruth Bailey; son, Dr. Michael

policereports and daughter-in-law, Dr. Margarethe Chobanian; several grandchildren. A memorial mass will be held at 10 a.m., Friday, May 4, at Episcopal Church of the Ascension with the Rev.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Minglersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offer input about Town sign ordinances â&#x2013;

HEATHER BECK hbeck@farragutpress.com

Farragut Business Alliance members took aim at a few Farragut ordinances â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notoriously stringent sign ordinance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mingle and meetâ&#x20AC;? at Einstein Bros. Bagels Tuesday, April 24. The group also made a number of concrete suggestions to improve deficiencies in the ordinances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of issues,â&#x20AC;? FBA president David Purvis said. A number of new business owners took issue with the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently revamped special events sign permit, which allows business owners to erect a temporary sign four times a year for special events such as sales or grand openings. Einstein Bros. co-owner Yvonne Kidder said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t erect a temporary sign because of the permit restrictions and expense. Grand openings should be considered separately from

KCSO From page 1A

Farragut at any given time, since the Town includes four beats. Hubbs also demonstrated KCSOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website crime mapping capabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can go on and uplink any statistics to show the crime in your neighborhoods and sex offenders and all those types of things,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. Hubbs said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The notion that crime is just a police or sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem [is wrong]; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem. We want to share that information with the public in a way they can find it easily.â&#x20AC;? The crime map is updated

other special events because they only ever happen once, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should get your balloons and this and that. Could you not be allowed to go all out for a day or two?â&#x20AC;? she asked. According to Kidder, the Farragut Einstein location opened to less than half of the business the Cedar Bluff location had, simply because drivers-by in Farragut werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware she was open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That limitation severely affected my grand opening. We lost that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;powâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Farragut ... It was very eye opening to me. I can only have one grand opening, and that was it. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it again,â&#x20AC;? Yvonne said. Shawn Brown, owner of Totz2Teenz, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our grand opening was weak as well. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get a business started in Farragut.â&#x20AC;? Brown also took issue with signage in West End Center, where Totz2Teenz is located, saying Farragut made it difficult to get

signage there that was visible from West End Avenue or from Kingston Pike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In all the years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going down fast,â&#x20AC;? Yvonne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reputation of trying to start a business in Farragut.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Ralph McGill was in attendance, and he offered â&#x20AC;&#x153;perspective.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the County rules you get Clinton Highway. Under Farragut rules you get what you see here. I hope that most of you appreciate the difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly not closed minded; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re open to your suggestions. But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to look like Clinton Highway,â&#x20AC;? he added. Randy Bulmon, co-owner of Marioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at signage as something helpful, rather than something detractive.â&#x20AC;? The sign ordinance wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only Farragut ordinance to catch See FBA on Page 5A

Jon and Yvonne Kidder, owners of Einstein Bros. Bagels, hosted Farragut Business Alliance members for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;minglingâ&#x20AC;? April 24.

hourly, Hubbs said, with crime statistics reported by KCSO deputies across the county. The map shows locations of crimes as varied as domestic disturbances, animal control calls, homicides, traffic stops and welfare checks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not every time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in your neighborhood means something bad has happened; it may just be weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re checking the neighborhood or down there on, say, an alarm,â&#x20AC;? Hubbs said. The map is useful not only to KCSO but to neighborhood watches or the like. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a force multiplier, if you will,â&#x20AC;? Hubbs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a plus and what a shot in the arm weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got,â&#x20AC;? he added.

• Farragut Mayor and Aldermen just don’t get it. Here we go again, wasting $400,000 on “decorative” lighting on Concord Road. Why don’t they go every afternoon and watch the school kids get off the bus at The Fresh Market and walk through the ditches on Kingston Pike because there’s no sidewalk? That’s what $400,000 should be spent for. Maybe the citizens will get people who just “get it” in the next election. Editor’s Note: Funding for decorative lighting along Concord Road recently was approved by Farragut Municipal Planning Commission as part of the Town’s Capital Investment Program. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen have yet to approve it. • Recycling Bins: It’s so good to see the recycling station at Lovell Road and Kingston Pike being used with such gusto; many times I’ve had to turn back home due to some bins overflowing or missing. No decent person interested in recycling would just dump their items on the ground for someone else to dispose of later — right? Many are eager to recycle and that is good, real good, but maybe they really don’t know enough about how the program works. I see things in the bins that have no business being in it. Could [it] be some are not giving their all for the recycling movement by knowingly doing things wrong? Please slow down and remove metal caps from glass bottles, putting each into their proper bin. Don’t toss your kids’ old plastic toys into the bins; gee, this needlessly takes up room for those of us trying to follow the rules by putting only designated items into each of the labeled bins. Go ahead and show even more common courtesy by doing your share by helping to keep “our” recycling place tidy and picked up. If you drop something, don’t be too uppity to bend over and retrieve it!! There is so much broken glass on the ground at times that I sometimes feel uncertain if my shoes will protect my tender pretty feet. All I’m saying is with as much traffic as that

place gets, why not extend a bit more consideration for others? It’s easy and doesn’t cost you anything to be even nicer. I am so grateful to have a place near my Farragut home to recycle. I visit at least three times a month with a trunk-full each time. It was a great idea to bring it back. Thank you to whomever is responsible for it. • There is much that has been written about our [Knox] County School superintendent’s proposal to increase the school budget by an additional $35 million in order to improve the educational performance of our primary and secondary students. Problem: Simply throwing more money at the problem doesn’t solve the real problem. Fact: Worldwide, the United States ranks fourth in the World (2009 survey) in average cost spent per student in primary and secondary schools with a yearly cost of $6,043/student. Only Denmark, Switzerland and Austria spend more per student than does the United States. Both Estonia and Poland rank equivalent with the U.S. in education of students. Yes, Estonia and Poland! Yet, these two countries spend LESS THAN HALF of what the United States spends as an average cost per student! Makes one wonder just how much money we need to throw at the problem before we realize more money is not the problem. Fact: When ranked against other countries around the world, the United States schools rank 14th in reading skills, 17th in science skills and 25th in math. … If we are going to improve education in the United States the first thing we need to do is look at school models of education in those other countries that have been successful in educating their students at far less cost than we spend in the United States. What we will find is: 1. Teachers are given far more authority in the classroom 2. Students are required to attend school for longer hours each day 3. Students are required to attend school for more days per year (i.e.: China school year is 240 days) … Before we invest another $35 million in our [Knox] County

Mother’s Day Mother’s Day will be celebrated across the United States Sunday, May 13.

school system my suggestion is let’s [send] our school superintendent to any of the 15-to-20 countries that exceed the United States in education at less cost and see what they are doing to improve the quality of education. But NO … our answer is “let’s throw more money at the problem with the same old results … .” • You’ve got to be kidding us! First the FBMA wanted to spend $700K for “historical” lighting along Campbell Station Road and now they want to spend $400K for “decorative” lighting along Concord Road? Let me tell you how I see this one playing out. First they change the name from “historical lighting” to “decorative lighting” since they’ve learned we definitely don’t like “historical lighting.” The Town assistant administrator was quoted as saying, “We’re looking to try and avoid the same mistake we made before,” so a name change is definitely a necessity. Of course once you get the decorative lighting installed, I’m sure the lighting along the remainder of Concord Road will then be considered antiquated. That will then require that they also be

replaced with “decorative lighting,” just to keep things consistent. Once that’s done won’t those lights clash with the lighting along Campbell Station Road? Of course they will! That’s when it will become a necessity to replace those with “decorative lighting” also. Will someone please explain to me why the FBMA is so fixated on spending money on lighting as of late? Everyone I know thinks the lights we’ve got now are perfectly fine and they do the job they’re intended for. I’m sure we can find something else worthwhile to spend this money on. Or maybe we should just save it for a real emergency? Editor’s Note: Changing out the existing lights on Campbell Station Road still is included in the Town’s Strategic Plan. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

If Lenoir City Utilities Board receives a $250,000 clean energy grant, it could pursue a renewable energy process that converts cellulose into hydrogen power. “It’s amazing they can do this.

flak. Jon and Yvonne Kidder also took issue with the drive-through ordinance, which Jon said is 15 years old and refers to equipment that is obsolete. “It was antiquated. What they would allow was antiquated, and would also cause a huge financial burden on us because it wasn’t even equipment that was made. So we would have had to have it special made. We already

Hispanic bloodlines, Masini said this trail marker allows Hola Hora Latina “a wonderful opportunity for us to continue fulfilling our mission, which is to create or extend cultural and educational bridges within the Hispanic community and the community at large.” “It’s good to know, it’s good to remember the connections this land has had with even preRevolutionary War, with Spain, when DeSoto was supposed to have been here visiting this land,” Masini added. LaMarche said about Adm. Farragut’s boyhood hardships, “If you can picture a mother and five kids loading a raft down the Tennessee River, to the Ohio, to the Mississippi and on to New Orleans to catch up with their father. It took them more than

through a TVA settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency, during its March meeting. Littleton said grant awards could be announced by fall. LCUB would use the $250,000 — which would be matched by about $500,000 in funding from the Utility — to pursue technology developed at Proton Power Inc., located in Macedonia Industrial Park in Lenoir City. It uses cellulose from plant material, or even cardboard or sawdust, and separates that material into hydrogen,

carbon and other particles. The hydrogen is used to power generators. “It’s not perfectly pure hydrogen, but there’s enough good hydrogen there that these generators can run very efficiently,” Littleton said. Littleton said the Cellulose to Hydrogen Power system, or CHyP, could be used to power LCUB water or wastewater treatment plants, or could help stabilize the costs of powering those plants through more conventional means.

had to have things special made,” Yvonne said. “All the people [at Town Hall] are great, but they’re enforcing a 15 year-old playbook and the plays have changed,” Jon said. “I’d like to see our sign ordinances keep up with technology,” he added. Farragut staff should systematically review ordinances every few years, rather than let one sit for 15, he recommended. Purvis said, “What you all are saying is being taken to heart.” The FBA is intended to serve

as a liaison between Farragut businesses and the Town, and FBA executive director Allison Sousa noted each complaint as a potential avenue to explore updating with Farragut officials. “Some of this stuff is only being done as a knee jerk reaction because somebody has pushed the point,” Purvis said of getting ordinances updated in Farragut. “It’s complicated. Ordinances are a minefield,” he added.

three months,” LaMarche added. “Adm. Farragut never posed as a hero.” The dedication ties in this trail marker with Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial, Whitaker said, adding Adm. Farragut’s is one of “234 markers already in the ground in 77 counties.” Dr. Carroll Van West, co-chair of Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial, said, “There is no bigger national hero that comes from Tennessee than David Farragut. … He took the U.S. Navy into its modern era.” Speaking on behalf of Farragut Board of Mayor and Alderman and Farragut Folklife Museum personnel, Mayor Ralph McGill said, “I want to say we’re very happy to be part of this dedication ceremony today.” Various FFM members came dressed in 19-century attire. “We want to take our motto

from him, for the Town, that is, ‘Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead,’” McGill added. Masini announced that HoLa Hora Latina is sponsoring a fundraising effort: a roughly 10by-20-foot area in front of the marker will have a brick foundation. Bricks “are being offered for sale. It will have your name in it. I am pleased to announce that [Knox County] Mayor Burchett is the first purchaser,” she said. About the dedication, Burchett said, “It’s just a small thing but it means so much.”

Randy Inklebarger asked how priorities for the strategic plan were determined. Smoak said the Town had a third-party facilitator in last year, who led a series of workshops with Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen and also held public forums. “That’s what you have before you,” Smoak said of the result. He added, “We have a lot of balls in the air and we’re trying to determine what the Board’s priorities are.”

First Utility District board members announced plans to construct a 15,000 square foot maintenance facility near its wastewater treatment plant off Concord Road near Farragut at its April 17 meeting. The estimated cost of the facility is a little more than $800,000. “I’d like to build it by July,” FUD general manager Bruce Giles said. FUD’s three-member board approved a work authorization agreement between First Utility and Cannon & Cannon Inc. to develop a master plan for the location of the new facility, as well

A Farragut businesswoman is pioneering a new allergy treatment, one of only two such treatments available in the state. “It’s only the second one in the state; the other is in Nashville,” said Pamela Bull of 3D Laser Allergy Relief, 11416 Grigsby Chapel Road. Bull also owns 3 Dimension Relaxation & Wellness from the same space, where she operates as a massage therapist, certified hypnotherapist and life coach. The allergy laser simulates allergens on the skin and simultaneously treats any reactions. “All an allergen is is an interruption to the nervous and immune systems,” Bull said. With the laser, “you’re being introduced, digitally, to the allergen, [and simultaneously] you’re being treated with the laser so it’s balancing the nervous and immune systems. Then, whenever you encounter that allergen again, your body is balanced and you won’t have that reaction you would have had prior to the laser treatments,” she added. The allergy laser treatments are “similar to a lie detector test,” Bull said, with clients putting a cuff on their wrists that introduces allergens to the skin.

Pamela Bull, owner of 3D Laser Allergy Relief and 3 Dimension Relaxation & Wellness, is pioneering a laser allergy treatment at her Grigsby Chapel Road location.

The equipment then registers your skin’s response to the digital allergens, rating reactions on a scale of 1 to 1,000 and treating sensitivities that rate higher than 900. “There’s no painful scratch tests or needles,” Bull said. Bull will scan potential clients

for the most common allergens for free. Treatments include a “twelve session protocol,” plus a thirteenth session to reevaluate previous treatments. “By the time you go through all twelve of them, you have been tested for nearly 100,000 different allergens,” Bull said.

The app is a tool for businesses to reach consumers, who then enjoy easy access to business and event information and weekly “deals.” The app interfaces with the FBA’s website (www.FarragutBusiness.com), so any business enjoying a complimentary listing is automatically included. Farragut businesses

not listed are encouraged to contact the FBA to participate. The app will be supported with an ongoing media campaign.

includes his personal letters, family china, a large collection of scrimshaw [whale teeth] and a large collection of artifacts and uniform ornamentation,” she added. Dedicating Adm. Farragut’s statue in spring 2010, Barham said Linda Rankin’s sculpture of the Civil War hero “was the first statue of Adm. Farragut that had been completed in over a hundred years.” “We also have recently had the dedication of the Civil War trail sign, which is a great boost to our tourism at the museum and the Town in general,” she added, the trail of which connects similar sights in Kentucky and Virginia. “You can get in your car and drive from sign to sign and visit all these important places.” At FFM, “We conduct various historical lectures and events and exhibits throughout the year,” Barham said. “All of which are free to the public. We do special [group] tours.”

Haugh recognized for computing Alison Haugh, a Farragut High School junior, was recognized for her accomplishments in computing by the National Center for Women and Information Technology recently. Haugh received the 2012 NCWIT “Aspirations in Computing” Award at a ceremony hosted by Tennessee Technology University’s Computer Science Department in Cookeville. Alison was identified as one of the top 13 young women with computing aspirations in Tennessee. Leslie Howe, computer science teacher at FHS, said Haugh was chosen “because of her accomplishments and plans to pursue computer engineering, modeling

real-world events and objects to enhance how we live.” The NCWIT Award for Aspiration in Computing honors young high school women for their computing-related achievements and interests, selecting awardees based on their computing and information technology aptitude, leadership ability, academic history and plans for postsecondary education. This was the first year for the Tennessee Aspirations Affiliate awards, with efforts being led by Dr. Ambareen Siraj and Dr. Martha Kosa, both from TTU. In addition, Ruthe Farmer, the director of Strategic Initiatives, joined Siraj and Kosa in presenting the awards and speaking with

the girls about their accomplishments and the vast opportunities available to them. “Everywhere you turn, computing has changed our lives,” Haugh said. “It’s so cool to be able to make a computer do something that a human might do or to have it solve problems that would take us years to do without it.” She also is an intern at Oak Ridge National Laboratory this semester as part of the FHS Math Academy where she is working on a parallel computing problem under the mentorship of Dr. Rick Archibald. Haugh said she would be pursuing a degree in computer engineering when she attends college. Photo Submitted

Haydek named U.S. Presidential Scholars program semifinalist Jenni Haydek, a senior at Webb School of Knoxville, has been named a U.S. Presidential Scholars Program Semifinalist. Haydek is among 550 semifinalists selected from more than 3,300 Presidential Scholars candidates nationwide Haydek on the basis

of superior academic achievements, leadership qualities, personal character, and involvement in community and school activities. Inclusion in the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program is one of the highest honors bestowed upon graduating high school seniors. Haydek is one of this year’s three Webb School salutatorians. She is a National Merit finalist, a member of Cum Laude Society, recipient of Webb’s Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science Award, a

two-time recipient of Webb’s William R. Webb Citizenship Award and was recently named to Webb’s Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society for excellence in mathematics. As a junior, she earned a top composite score of 36 on the ACT test. Active in Webb's Interact Club, Haydek also serves as an Upper School peer counselor and student ambassador. She was a member of the Lady Spartan tennis championship teams in 2010 and 2011, and along with Webb classmate Vicki

Garcia, won her second consecutive state doubles title last season. Haydek also participates on Webb’s field hockey and track and field teams. Haydek will attend Harvard University this fall. This year’s Presidential Scholars Program Semifinalists were chosen by a panel of distinguished educators after a review of students’ essays, self-assessments, extracurricular activities, school recommendations and school transcripts.

Final selection of the Scholars will be made by the Commission on Presidential Scholars, a group of eminent citizens appointed by the president, and will be announced in May. Each year, up to 141 students are named Presidential Scholars. Winners include two students from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. students living abroad; as many as 20 students representing the arts and 15 students at-large.

as interns at various businesses and organizations all over the Knox County area with the purpose of finding a niche similar to their ultimate career goals. For example, those in the Business, Law and Public Affairs Academy may have worked at a law firm, while those in the Health Science Academy may have spent their learning hours at a hospital. Students were required to log their hours, turn in weekly activity journals and write several papers including a proposal essay, research paper and reflective essay. This special evening was a way for the students to wrap up the semester’s work. They did so by presenting to the community with tri-fold boards, Power Point presentations and actual examples of things they helped create during their interning time. Teachers, staff members, family, friends and mentors from partic-

changed its facilities use policy” as approved by Knox County Board of Education after “multiple public meetings about this.” This policy change could explain why the Commons was rented free in previous years but now is subject to a charge, Copelan added. The reunion’s new church home is along Virtue Road about

one-half mile south of Turkey Creek intersection across from the lake. Horace said he went to “fill out a form” at FHS “at the first of the year as usual” attempting to secure the Commons for this year’s reunion. “And I knew they had talked about doing something like that. And I talked to the principal down there

[Michael Reynolds] and he said something about it.” However, Copelan said, “We do not have an application in from this particular group, so there is no formal record of a request or an application by this group.” As for their next move, “We got to thinking about where we could go, and I knew Virtue had a lot of different singings and

things and I knew that they probably had facilities that we could use,” Horace said. George added, “It was great for the church here to allow us to have this here.” Bill Shipley (Class of 1946), a member of Virtue, said its New Family Life Center “was built to serve the community, and we’re glad to do it.”

helping local retired veterans “who want to go back to [Washington] D.C. to the various monuments and so on.” In support of “returning veterans” from Iraq and Afghanistan, “We’re working with a couple of other entities that help returning veterans assimilate back into

the work world by helping with interview skills,” Engel said. “I’m working on creating a scholarship fund for kids who are graduating from Farragut High who aren’t going on to college, but going into the technical world,” he added. Also, “Bridge Refugee

Company helps assimilate refugees into the community and to the work world as well by providing a place to stay, teach-

ing them English skills and try and help them to find a job,” Engel said.

ipating businesses attended Senior Portfolio night to see what the students worked on for the past four months. Health Science student Emily Carballo spent her spring semester in Under Child Life Habit Center at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. “My favorite part was getting the exposure to child life, because I went into this [Senior Portfolio] wanting to be a pediatrician, and now I want to be a child life specialist,” Carballo said. Andrew Frantz, a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math student, participated in Senior Portfolio both the fall and spring semesters. His work included serving as a lab technician at Hardin Valley and assistant teaching various science classes. Frantz said, “It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Every day is very unexpected.” At the end of the evening, the pride in the eyes of Hardin Valley’s principals could not

have shined brighter. “[They] just have that experience that a lot of kids in this world never dream of having. Many college students still don’t have this experience,” HVA principal Sallee Reynolds said, adding, “How [the students] present is amazing, and it gets better each year.” HVA vice principal David Combs said, “This is why I am here. To see the kids do something they are excited about … you don’t see [students] anywhere else placing them in the real world already.” Liberal Arts Academy dean Sharon Cate thanked all of the businesses who participated in Senior Portfolio experience, because none of it would be possible if they did not open their doors to the HVA students. “As a teacher, it is an honor — a privilege to work with Senior Portfolio. They [the students] teach me. I hear what they are doing and seeing, and I am better because of it.”
