Rural/Metro Fire DepartmentStation No. 42, the constructionof which recently broke ground,could result in substantial sav-ings on homeowners’ insurancepremiums forroughly 40,000residents withina five-mile radiusof Northshore Drive-Choto Road intersec-tion.
Jerry Harnish, RMFDchief, listed two reasons forconstructing the new stationbehind Weigel’s less than 200yards from the intersection.
With the closest current R/Mstations several miles away alongWatt Road and Campbell StationRoad, “One is to reduce responsetimes. … It’s a public safetyissue,” Harnish said. “The sec-ond reason is, the way the insur-ance industry is regulated, prop-
erties further than five milesfrom a fire station are rated as ifthey had no fire protection. Sothey have disproportionatelyhigh premiums.”
However, with Station No. 42in operation, “A typical savingsfor a 25-year-old home appraised
at $200,000could be around
$700 annually,but the actual
amount will dependon the carrier, the age
of the home, size andconstruction of the
home, and the coveragesincluded in the policy,”
Harnish said. With “5,200 residents in the
Choto census tract” as of the2010 Census, Harnish said thatnumber was up from just 700 inthe 2000 Census.
However, “If the entire popula-tion within a five-mile radius ofthe station were included, thenumber would increase 30,000 to

40,000,” he added.The 5,000 square foot single
floor station, featuring oneengine with “one firefighter/EMTand one firefighter/paramedicon duty at all times” according toHarnish, is scheduled to beginoperation “in early to mid-sum-mer.”
Among the residents sayingthey’re looking forward to big
savings on homeowners insur-ance premiums is Susan Rawls.
“The rates will go down, Ithink, and there’s a safety meas-ure that comes with that whenyou have a station being close bylike that,” Rawls, a MontgomeryCove resident for 12 years, saidabout having the station withinone mile of her home. “It’s grownso much out here, there’s so
many homes and residents. Ithink it will serve a great pur-pose.”
This family called Rural/Metro, with a Campbell Stationengine responding, because of“a carbon monoxide issue … tomake sure the carbon monoxidewas not leaking in my house,”
Residents of Sweet Briar sub-division had their voices heard,so a vacant lot betweenTennessee State Bank andParkside Medical Center offParkside Drive will remain zonedfor office use.
After hearing Sweet Briar resi-dents’ concerns, Farragut Muni-cipal Planning Commission vot-ed unanimously against FarragutLand Partners’ request to rezoneproperty at 11454 Parkside Driveas commercial during its meet-ing Thursday, Jan. 15.
Ashley Miller, CommunityDevelopment assistant directorfor town ofF a r r a g u t ,said Farr-agut LandP a r t n e r sasked FM-PC to chan-ge zoningfrom O-13( o f f i c e ,three sto-ries) and B-1 (buffer) to C-1 (general com-mercial) and B-1.
As part of the initial develop-ment plan, the property was
specified as office and it includ-ed a 100-foot buffer from the rearof the prop-erty, Millersaid.
T h er e z o n i n gwould beconsistentwith thed o m i n a n tplan ofd e v e l o p -ment alongParkside Drive, she added.
Jim Nixon, partner withFarragut Land Partners, said hiscompany does not have plans for
the property and has not pur-chased the property yet but has acontract to buy it.
Several Sweet Briar residents,whose properties abut the par-cel, objected to the zoningrequest, adding they have madeupgrades to their homes, and therezoning would hurt their prop-erty values.
“I’m telling you, if you do this,there are people who will imme-diately put their houses up forsale,” Ken Chipley, secretary ofSweet Briar HomeownersAssociation and homeownersince 1986, said. “The area adja-cent to Sweet Briar was sup-
posed to stay office because of itbeing adjacent to us.”
Deborah Raines of Sweet Briarsaid she could see signs and heardumpsters from Parkside Drivebusinesses already.
“The thought of having anoth-er commercial building thatclose to our property literallymade me sick to my stomach,”Raines said.

No Styrofoam, no glassaccepted at FLWR site ■ TAMMY CHEEK
Fort Loudon Waste &Recycling Center’s facility offKingston Pike, Farragut, is nolonger accepting glass for recy-cling.
Last month, the company putup signs, giving the public noticethey are no longer acceptingglass or Styrofoam. MikeShahan, special projects manag-er with FLWR, said the companydecided glass recycling hasbecome too big of an expense.
“People I’ve talked to havebeen pretty understanding,”Shahan said.
Shahan said the facility hasbeen in Farragut since 2008. Thecompany has accepted glass forrecycling for years but it doesnot have anywhere to haul it, hesaid.
“We can’t do anything with itright now. I was told the closest
place is in Atlanta,” Shahan said.“It’s become a big expense forus.
“There’s nobody who will takeglass for free for us, and it’s beenpiling up in our lot,” Shahansaid.
“We’ve got a big pile we’vecrushed with a bulldozer,” hesaid. “We don’t want to landfillit; we’re in the recycling busi-ness.”
Likewise, the company cannotfind an outlet to recycleStyrofoam, Shahan said.
“We spent the whole year lastyear to work out takingStyrofoam, but we couldn’t makeit work,” he said.
Fort Loudon Waste &Recycling is an industrial scraprecycling business, owned byEddie and Jason Bales.
He said FLWR operates theFarragut facility for a free com-

“We don’t charge people tocome [drop off items] here, sowe can only take items we canafford to recycle,” Shahan said.
“We try to offer a good serv-ice,” he said. “We try to keep itneat and simple for people. Theydon’t have to sort the plastics,paper.”
“We put a lot of money into itto make it convenient for peo-ple,” Nick Kakanis, FLWR cus-tomer service manager, said. “Wealso have staff to help.”
Kakanis said the centeraccepts all grades of plastics,paper, newspapers, magazines,cardboard, aluminum and steelcans and electronics.
“If we could find a home for[the glass] we would probably
continue to take it, but we justcan’t find a home,” Shahan said.
Knox County recycling centersdo accept separated clear, greenand brown glass at six of itsseven convenience centers,except the Karns center, whichhas space constraints; but thecenters do not accept Styrofoam,Zach Johnson, recycling coordi-nator for Knox County Engin-eering & Public Works, said.
“There’s not a lot of marketsthat sell Styrofoam,” Johnsonsaid. “It’s just garbage unfortu-nately.”
He said the FLWR center isprivately owned and is not affili-ated with Knox County conven-ience centers.
Likewise, Knoxville RecyclingCenters and curbside serviceaccept clear, green and brownglass but do not acceptStyrofoam, John Homa,Knoxville Solid Waste projectmanager, said.
Though his Farragut businesswas vandalized with an estimat-ed $500 worth of graffiti damage— sprayed on the dumpster,storage unit walls and back door— owner David Purvis said he isgrateful for security cameravideo that might help nab a sus-pect.
One male suspect committedthe vandalism at Farragut Wine& Spirits, 11238 Kingston Pike,“Saturday night at 10:10 or so,”Jan. 17, Purvis said.
Purvis said he wasn’t sure ifthe suspect could have been tiedto “a break-in over in the oldKroger space New Year’s Eve.Kids got in there breaking in theback door. … They tagged theinside of the walls and emptiedthe fire extinguishers.”
“Police are looking” for a con-nection. “They said that hadcome up,” Purvis added.
The suspect “took a picture ofhis work,” Purvis said, adding heposted his security video of thevandalism suspect “on thestore’s Facebook page.”
Although Purvis said this type
of vandalism is a new experiencefor him, “Kids used to climb upon our roof and skateboard onour roof,” he added.
However, “We put a cameraout there. … We had them onvideo and they’ve sort of stoppeddoing it now,” Purvis said.
Police are searching for a suspect who was recorded on videovandalizing Farragut Wine & Spirits Saturday, Jan. 17.

• This is in response to theperson who wrote about thespeed limit on Grigsby ChapelRoad. For their information, aspeed limit sign is the maximumspeed one should travel. A speedlimit of 40 mph does not meanyou don’t go less, it means you donot go more. Therefore, going 30or 35 mph in a 40 mph speedlimit is what should be expected.Just because it’s a speed limit of40 you do not go 40, you go lessthan 40. Maybe we need moredriver education.

Rawls said. “We got a bill forclose to $900. … We weren’t asubscriber then. Of course, we’vechanged that now.”
“We have seen the number ofcontracts increase in Chotosince the station was announ-ced,” Harnish said. “We antici-pate that the number willincrease more rapidly after itbecomes operational.”
In terms of subscription ratesand plans, Harnish said, “Theaverage annual contract rate isabout 0.12 per square foot, andmost property owners remit

Mayor Ralph McGill said. “I’mnot in a hurry to rezone theproperty.”
On another matter,Commission heard concerns ofFarragut resident Kim Knott,who said she and her brothersinherited 26 acres of property onthe east end of Union Road andhave had developers interestedin the land.
“But after meeting withFarragut, they all run for thehills because they’ve been toldthey have to foot the whole billfor widening that road againeven further to put in bike pathsand sidewalks from all our prop-erty to Smith Road,” she said.Commission said it would “workwith her.”
Mark Shipley, CommunityDevelopment director, also pre-sented a second draft of pro-posed architectural guidelinesfor commissioners to fine tune.
The Town contracted with
consultants Winter & Companyto develop design guidelines inApril 2014. He said the seconddraft was completed inNovember 2014.
Most of the changes plannersinvolved clarifying language inthe draft regarding buildingmaterials and colors.
“I think we should stay awayfrom subjective terms,” FMPCchair Rita Holladay said.
“At this point, the third sitevisit from the consultant willtentatively be late February orearly March with a final draftbeing provided shortly there-after,” Shipley said.
Similarly, Commission dis-cussed a proposal for a mixeduse/neighborhood commercialdistrict at “minor activity hubs,”such as Lakefront/Concord RoadSubarea and McFee ParkRoundabout Subarea, Shipleysaid. These areas would besmaller than the downtown areabut would combine residentialand business.
No action was taken but com-mission expressed its support forthe concept.

“The second thing is we wantto drop the grade of the roadabout seven or eight feet” onCanton Hollow, Snowden added.“Existing Canton Hollow, whereit sits today, when you sit thereand look south you can’t see thatoncoming traffic very well.”
After the drop in grade, “You’llbe able to see that on-comingtraffic,” Snowden said.
“We’re also going to installsome turn lanes on Woody,”Snowden added.
As for an estimated timetableof steps leading toward construc-tion, “If we decide this plan,based on your comments andsuggestions, is something wethink we can live with and workwith … hopefully within three tosix months acquire the neces-sary properties,” Snowden said.
Construction would start, “atthe earliest, maybe later thisyear, and complete the construc-tion spring of next year,” headded.
Snowden said “total wideningalong Canton Hollow runs about1,000 feet. … On Woody we’ll beimproving about 300 feet.”
Concerning traffic delays, “OnWoody we are going to have a fullclosure … for two, three, fourweeks … on Canton Hollow itwill not be a full closure,”Snowden said.
While most right-of-way acqui-sitions “are small … mostlyeasements” according toSnowden, one senior citizen res-ident will be forced to movebecause her home, “Based on theplans … is within a proposedright-of-way,” Snowden told a rel-ative of that senior citizen. “…I’m not going to rush [the resi-dent]. … We realize this is ahuge undertaking for her, she’slived there a long time. We wantto give her plenty of time.”

Having already taken Beardento the wire, and then some, in anovertime loss at BHS Jan. 9,Farragut looked to crack District4-AAA’s “top three” barrier witha win at West Friday night.
A solid first half of defense, atriangle-and-two that held theRebels without a point for morethan eight minutes, plus stout
defensiverebound-ingallowed
the Admirals to build a 19-10lead.
That was whittled to 22-21 athalftime before West cranked upits own defensive pressure in thefourth quarter.
Holding Farragut without afield goal in the final eight min-utes, the Admirals also werecold at the free throw line (16 of32) in a 50-35 loss Jan. 23.
“The free throw line, that’swhat killed us,” said WillDoerger, FHS senior post whocame off the bench to scoreeight points.
Meanwhile, Farragut’s LadyAdmirals (17-6, 9-2) cruised to a58-31 victory against a Westteam with only one win this sea-son (0-10 in district). KristenFreeman led FHS with 12 points,followed by Annie McMurry andMiranda Burt with nine each.
Maegan Hudson scored six. As for the FHS boys in the
early going Friday, “We did whatwe wanted to defensively, weheld [post David Kraski] andguard [John Evans] down,” FHShead coach Chris Cool said aboutlimiting Kraski and Evans to sin-gle digits scoring. “I thought ourkids played their tails off.”
However, Farragut’s free throwmisses “were a killer,” he added.
WhileWestimprovedto 14-8
overall, 7-4 in district, FHSdropped its third straight gameand fell to 12-11, 5-6 in 4-AAA.
Ty Allen, senior wing, led
Farragut in scoring with 10.Keegan McGuire, senior pointguard, had seven points.
“We played our hearts out.Everybody was diving on thefloor,” Doerger said.
About hitting the boards hard,especially in the first half,Doerger said, “Coach Cool madesure we knew how badly they
outrebounded us when theycame to our place” in a decisiveloss to West at FHS Dec. 15. “Wethought we would return thefavor.
“I felt that was the bestrebounding game we played allyear,” he added.
Rebel guard Shandel Williamsled his team with 15 points.

Both Bearden High Schoolbasketball teams kept long win-ning streaks alive with home vic-tories Friday night, Jan. 23.
The Lady Bulldogs won theirseven consecutive game, defeat-ed Hardin Valley Academy 57-45,while the BHS boys saw theirwinning streak reach six with an83-62 win over the Hawks.
The Lady Bulldogs kept theirperfect District 4-AAA recordintact despite a lackluster effortin the second half. Bearden (22-
3 overall, 11-0 in the districtafter the win) jumped to a 36-18lead. However, the Lady Bulldogs
“just did-n’t comeout of thelocker
room for the second half. Wewere not pulling together defen-sively in the second half and wegave them some easy opportuni-ties,” BHS head coach JustinUnderwood said.
Madison Rice led Beardenwith 17 points. Chanler Geeradded 12 while Trinity Lee andOlivia Pfeifer scored nine points
each. Junior point guard HollyHagood finished with eight.
“We definitely have to play bet-ter than we did in the secondhalf tonight,” Rice said.
The Lady Hawks (13-10, 3-8)took advantage of the LadyBulldogs’ defensive struggles andwere able to make a modest runafter halftime. “These kids neverquit and that’s what makes themso fun to coach. But offensiverebounding and free throwsremain areas of concern for us,”HVA head coach JenniferGalloway said.
Hardin Valley’s Abbey Cor-nelius scored a game-high 22
points. “We’ve just got to comeout and play like we did in thesecond half tonight,” she said.
Meanwhile, Bearden’s boysdarted out to a fast start and
opened a22-13lead.
HardinValley (8-14, 3-8) would respondin the second stanza, however, tobuild a five-point lead and a 37-35 edge at halftime.

Tough losses for Ice Ads vs. Knights, BHS-Karns■ KEN LAY
Correspondent
Early penalties took their tollon the Farragut High Schoolhockey team Thursday, Jan. 15, ina 4-2 loss to the Knoxville Knightsin the Icearium.
Coupled with a tough 5-4 set-back to Bearden-Karns Thursday,Jan. 22, the Admirals stand at 1-5-2 on the season.
Against the Knights, Farragutquickly found itself fighting anuphill battle as they were short-handed throughout much of thefirst period. The Admirals killedoff a pair of 5-on-3 penalties in
the opening frame and didn’t sur-render a shot to the Knights, theKnoxville Amateur HockeyAssociation’s top high schoolteam.
“Our kids played hard and theyd i d n ’ tquit,” FHSh e a dcoach Jeff
Lindsay said. “When we were twomen down, they [the Knights]didn’t get a shot.
“But the penalties just killedus.”
The Ads survived those penal-ties and the neither the Farragutnor the Knights, improving to 5-0-
2 after the win, scored in the firstperiod.
The Knights finally took a 1-0lead in the second stanza whenIsaiah Maine scored an unassist-ed goal at the 9:21 mark.
Then things really got crazy.Shortly after Maine scored thegame’s first marker, he wasinvolved in an altercation withKyle Lindsay and took a five-minute major. Lindsay received aminor penalty and Maine spentfive minutes in the penalty box forhead-butting one of Farragut’stop scorers.
The Ads, however couldn’t takeadvantage of the infraction
because they took a pair ofminors while Maine was off theice. “We killed that major andthey helped us by taking twominors, so that was pretty much amajor for them,” Knights headcoach Greg Maine said.
While penalties seemed to bethe order of the day, goals came ata premium. The Knights, however,did add a second tally late in theperiod when Jacob Givens scoredanother unassisted goal with 26seconds left.
The lead grew to 3-0 lead whenJacob Adam scored with 9:04remaining in the contest.
The Ads made a surge and
scored the next two goals. Farragut freshman John
Barckhoff made the score 3-1with a goal midway through thethird period. Kenny Richter andDavis Eichelberger assisted.
“We worked pretty hard but thepenalties were a killer,” Barckhoffsaid. “It’s hard when you have tokill off all of those penalties.”
The Ads pulled to within 3-2when Steven Popovich converteda penalty shot with 3:59 to play.“After we got those two goals, Ithought we had some momen-tum,” he said.
Adam’s second goal of the gamemade it 4-2 with 2:20 remaining.

Dan Tankersley said he boughtthe former childhood home ofLinda Laughlin Ford, wife ofFarragut’s second Mayor EddyFord, in Old Concord for a projectand a home for he and wife, Amy.
“I thought it was fabulous,”Ford said about the Tankersleys’restoration of the home at 1100Church St., which sits in the his-toric district of Old Concord.Ford said she knew theTankersleys would have to makesome renovations to make thehouse fit their lifestyle, but theymaintained the integrity of thehome, saving the windows andother original elements, includ-ing marble from a former quarry.
“That is very special to me,”she said. “The first time I walkedinto the home, I was totallyamazed. It was so beautiful.
“My parents would be veryhappy with the transformation oftheir home,” Ford added. “Theyare both buried in the Masoniccemetery that overlooks theproperty.”
Ford and the Tankersleys firstmet while Ford and other familymembers were visiting the near-by cemetery, and the Tankersleyswere talking with the architect at
the house.“It has been a joy to meet Amy
and Dan Tankersley,” Ford said.“They are just a delightful cou-ple.”
Ford said she was 3 or 4 whenher parents, Bob and RuthLaughlin, had the house built inthe 1940s, using materials fromthe home of her grandparents,Fred and Mabel Hobbs, inConcord.
“My grandparents gave my par-ents the land it now sits on,” shesaid.
“The house is interesting,” DanTankersley said. “You really haveto go back to what was therebefore to make sense of it.”
The area was a marble quarryrun by the Woods brothers, start-ing in the 1880s, and a marblefinishing shop.
“We found lots of differentscraps of marble on the proper-ty,” Dan Tankersley said.
In the 1920s, the Woods movedtheir business to another loca-tion, and in the 1940s, TennesseeValley Authority built FortLoudoun Dam, he said.
Ford’s grandparents’ house satwhere the entrance to ConcordPark is now, she said.

Thompson discovers ‘multi-tasking, giving’ FHS student body
Alan Sloan
During a break from the normal grind on New Year's Eve, FHSprincipal Stephanie Thompson looks up information on herschool's list of success stories during fall semester.
Occupying a high school princi-pal’s chair for the first time in hereducational career, Stephanie Th-ompson is learning to appreciatehow top students at Farragut HighSchool manage their time — activein many clubs and members ofsports teams while stilling keepinggrade point averages of 4.0 andabove.
“We have got the most talentedkids,” Thompson, interim princi-pal at FHS looking to earn full-time principal status after 2014-15, said. “…. A lot of our top kidsare involved in multiple things. It’sjust incredible to watch themflourish and be successful in multi-
ple areas of their lives because ofwhat that requires from them. Itrequires discipline, it requirestime management.”
Although a teacher at FHS dur-ing the 2007-08 school year, Tho-mpson said, “I think until you’re sit-ting in this [principal’s] chairwhere everything comes to you,you’re not necessarily as awareschool-wide. I have re-newedappreciation.”
Visiting classrooms regularly,Thompson gave one example ofrenewed appreciation. “You seethe amazing ways our teachersengage students and how theyteach bell to bell,” she said.
However, reflecting more on stu-dents’ time management, Thomp-son said, “I worry that this genera-
tion is scheduling every minute oftheir time; they just put too muchin their structured [time]. You canoverload.
“I’m experiencing this with myown daughter: at what point do Isay, ‘Ok, we have to have sometime for you to sit back to rest andrecover before you take on some-thing new,’” she added. “Our kids,they will just take on and take onand take on things. … I think thetechnology has allowed us to con-tinue where were never sign off.”
The bottom line, Thompsonsaid: “I think there is an aware-ness of our students of the impor-tance [where] the more you canbe involved in, what that looks like

Glenn “Kane” Jacobs told thestory of how an elderly woman’spile of hospital medical bills hadbeen forgiven by a highly regard-ed surgeon because, severalyears before, that surgeon was ayoung door-to-door salesmantreated kindly by that very samewoman.
“In life, however, things aren’talways as neatly packaged asthey are in our story,” Jacobs, theformer champion “Kane” inWorld Wrestling Entertainment,added. “Sometimes we don’t ben-efit directly from our giving.
“But nevertheless, I believethat givers do gain because giversgain by the very act of giving.”
Jacobs, a Missouri native nowliving in Knoxville who is co-owner of The Jacobs Agencyinsurance, was featured speakerduring The Rotary Club ofFarragut’s Wednesday, Nov. 19,meeting in Fox Den Country Clubclubhouse. “Human beings arehard-wired to be empathetictoward one another.”
Jacobs said it’s “a myth thatsuccess in business necessitates
being ruthless, cold-hearted andmean spirited. … I uncatagori-cally reject this idea. I believethat giving is the secret not onlyto living, but also to success inbusiness.”
In fact, “The only way to suc-ceed in business is to give peoplewhat they want at the pricethat they’re willing to pay,”Jacobs said. “… Giving is goodbusiness.”
Giving builds trust, “and trustis the most important commoditythat any businessperson can pos-sess,” he said. “I’m sure those ofyou in here who are in sales haveheard the saying, ‘If they like youthey’ll listen to you, but if theytrust you they’ll buy from you.’
“Giving is the key to happi-ness,” Jacobs added. “We alwaysthink happiness comes from prof-its. Actually, it’s the other wayaround. It turns out that whenyou do something that makes youhappy, that’s when the profitsflow because you’re more enthu-siastic, you’re willing to workharder.”

recalled the President saying.“And I say, ‘Yes sir.’ And he said,‘It’s a pleasure to meet you.’
“I know what it is to fight just toexist, and so now to fight for a lifeworth living is hard — it is one of thetoughest things that I’ve ever had todo … but it’s easy to fight for a lifeworth living compared to fightingjust to exist,” Ashley, taking 13 hoursin spring semester, added.
Though saying she was “scaredto death” when first attendingPSCC, Ashley added, “I’ve madethe Dean’s List every semester. Ispend over 60 hours a week on mystudies outside of classroom.”
Encouraged by his mother’s suc-cess, Mason “has gone from a Band C student to an A Honor Rollstudent,” Ashley said.
“Pellissippi State CommunityCollege gave my mom her lifeback,” Mason, 13, said. “It madeour life so much brighter, and I’mso proud of her.”
After “one more year” at PSCC,“I hope to go to Maryville Collegefor one year and graduate therewith a bachelor’s degree in nurs-ing,” Ashley said. “And straightfrom there is a bridge programthey have. I’ll go up to Vanderbiltfor two years and graduate with aMaster’s [degree] as an advancednurse practitioner.”
At first fighting the idea ofreturning to college while sayinglife’s circumstances had her “a bitbroken” into 2013, Ashley said, “Ilaughed and scoffed at [Alissa]. …‘I would not be qualified to go backto college.’ … Especially at that
time in my life.”However, “Alissa applied to col-
lege for me,” Ashley said aboutenrolling her into PSCC. “Shecalled me on a Friday and said,‘Your compass [placement] test ison a Tuesday, don’t miss it.’”
Passing that test with highmarks on most every level, “Whenshe showed me a picture of theacceptance letter, then we bothjust cried,” Ashley said. “That isreally when my life began again.”
Recalling a key moment of herchildhood, “I would carry around ababy doll and say I was a missionarydoctor,” Ashley said about her pas-sion to serve the less fortunate. “I’vealways had a desire to do that. … Ilove people. I love helping people.”
Running a private “in-homehealth and hospice” business,Ashley said her work allows her theflexibility to be a mother and a stu-dent.
Ashley and Mason set aside “twoto three hours” for homework eachweekday evening, Ashley said. “…My son is my life and my schedulerevolves around what’s best forhim. So sometimes it’s me helpinghim with his homework, then Imake dinner. And then I studyafter he goes to bed.”
Ashley and Mason also pusheach other with a “friendly” con-test of who gets the best grades.“We compete to see who can getdone with their homework faster,”Mason said.
“We encourage each other andkeep each other going every day,”Ashley said. “… Our report cardshang on the refrigerator door side-by-side.”

on a college application. And thebenefits that can have for them inpost-secondary [education].”
Beyond personal ambition, how-ever, “I also think we have a school
of students who desire to serve, togive back, because so many of ourclubs are service organizations,”Thompson said. “And all of ourclubs require a service project.”
Among the school’s athleticteams, “We had our softball teamcome with a request needing
stuffed animals to give to childrenwhose parents had been incarcer-ated,” Thompson said. “Our soft-ball team decided just to take thatup right after Thanksgiving and ask for donations of stuffedanimals.”

“To top the evening off, Santawas there to bring holiday
cheer,” she added. “The event celebrated the hol-

Those who attended also sup-
ported the Mission of Hope withdonations of coats and otherclothing, food and toys for peopleof Appalachia. The donationsfilled a room in the Chamberoffice.
“We have a charity every year,”
she said. “It was tasty, warm and com-

tunities, Soldner said. “… Thereare only four or five direct searchoptions. Kids can clearly see whatthey need to put in. And then ouroutput fields are also very distin-guished. You can see which col-lege gives what. … We wanted tomake sure everything is clearlyavailable.”
However, with both the BHSand Farragut systems, they are
not available for public use with-out a special URL (cannot be“Googled”), being under thedomain of Pellissippi StateCommunity College.
Though receiving some techni-cal and presentation advice fromMoskal and “a tech pro,” sheadded, “They did this pretty muchon their own. They did all theircoding. … What was so special tome was to watch their work ethicand how they collaborated andmade out their own schedule.
“Most of them are friends tobegin with I would say.”
Farragut’s nine-student teamfeatured senior Daniel Hong,three juniors, two sophomores,one freshman plus an eighth-grad-er and seventh-grader at FarragutMiddle School. “Immuno Info”software application was a com-prehensive immunization guide.
For example, “If you’re 2-months old what immunizationsshould you have?” team sponsorMary Lin, FHS honors math com-
puter applications and AP com-puter science teacher, said. “Ifyou’re 16 years old, what immu-nizations should you have?
“A user would go to in and clickon their age and gender and itwould pull up the immunizationsthey should have. If you’re travel-ing internationally you couldselect what nation you’re travel-ing to and it would pull up theimmunizations that you needed.”
Knox County Health Depa-rtment “has the immunizations
for local, but not for travel,” Linadded. “This was our solution.”
Farragut’s immunization angle“came during the Ebola breakoutin Africa. … We started in lateSeptember,” Hong said. “We hadalso heard of breakouts such aswhooping cough. … So wethought it would be nice to pro-vide a website that would have allthis information ready to go.”
On average, Hong said he andhis colleagues put in “about 15hours a week” on website work.
