The future of old Phillips 66, Concord Road

n MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD [email protected]

Two young visionaries are hoping to transform the long-vacant Phillips 66 convenience store at the intersection of Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike into a proper and welcome gateway for the Town of Farragut.

Business partners and co-developers Doug Justus and Carlos Cortez unveiled their concept plan, which they have tentatively called Admi-ral’s Landing, before Farragut Municipal Planning Commission Thurs-day, July 18, during its regular monthly meeting.

What they envision would combine food and entertainment in a fam-

Co-developers Carlos Cortez, left, and Doug Justus showed off their initial concept plans for Admiral’s Landing — which would include mobile food vendors, a beer garden, outdoor patios and possibly an ice cream shop — at the former Phillips 66 convenience store.

With 43 awards, farragutpress among state TPA leadersn STAFF REPORTS

[email protected]

CHATTANOOGA — While handing over the gavel after serving a one-year term as Tennessee Press Association presi-dent, Doug Horne witnessed his hometown paper, which he owns, reach a distin-guished position among all TPA publica-tions statewide.

Once again led by its advertising and pro-duction departments combining forces to earn 36 TPA awards, 13 of those first-place honors, farragutpress was among the state leaders in total awards recognized during the TPA convention Thursday and Friday, July 18-19, in The Read House Hotel.

Among the categories aced, thanks to the leadership and creativity of advertis-ing manager Sherry Long, production man-

ager Tony Christen, graphic designer Cindy Wilfert and junior designer Riley Woody, were Best Sales Promotion for a Retailer, Best Reader Contest and Best Feature Page or Pages.

Twelve second-place and 11 third-place awards also were earned — with farragut-press sweeping a few categories.

“The advertising awards were wonder-ful,” said Tony Cox, farragutpress pub-

lisher, president of Republic Newspapers, Inc. (parent company of farragutpress) and general manager of Horne Radio, LLC. “The communication between advertiser to account executive and then account ex-ecutive to graphic designer is what allows the advertising message to clearly and cre-atively designed.

policereports• At 6:16 p.m., Sunday, July 14, a Knox County Sheriff’s Office unit

responded to a Champions Point address on report of a residential burglary. Upon investigation, the victim said at some time while he was out of town, an unknown suspect entered his residence and ap-peared to be living there while he was away. Upon his arrival home, victim said he noticed his kitchen in disarray and four watches stolen. Total value of loss was listed at $1,750. Victim advised he was notified Friday, July 12, by KCSO that two people were inside his residence and were saying they had permission.

Victim said he did not give them permission; however, they had a key and text messages from his girlfriend giving permission. Victim also located two pipes believed to be used for smoking marijuana in his residence, and he wanted them collected. Pipes were placed in a property locker at Knox County Jail.

• At 11:29 p.m., July 12, a victim called KCSO North Precinct to report regarding a burglary in the parking lot of Studio West Salon, 10843 Kingston Pike. According to the victim, on June 14 or prior person(s) unknown stole the checkbook from the console of his vehicle. He said the vehicle was unlocked. According to the victim, this checkbook from Simply Bank was a construction loan account. He said between June 14 and July 10 nine checks have come into the bank.

No value of loss was given. The victim advised there were three checks made payable to individuals. He further said one of the checks had been mobile deposited. At the time of this report, victim did not have the name of the bank or financial institution where that check was deposited. According to the victim there were two checks written to a grocery chain but he doesn’t know which location.

n STAFF REPORTS [email protected]

For the 27th consecutive year, Town of Farragut has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from a North American association for excellence in its compre-hensive annual Financial Report.

Once again recognized by the Government Fi-nance Officers Association of the United States and Canada is the Town’s Finance staff, led by Town Recorder Allison Myers, which puts together the annual Financial Report.

“The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attain-ment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management,” a Town press

release stated. “It is a real accomplishment,” Town adminis-

trator David Smoak said. “Not a lot of cities get that award, and a lot of them probably don’t because they typically don’t go to the level of professionalism and transpar-ency that Farragut does.

“It is great for the commu-nity to know that the Town’s finances are not only in good shape, but are acknowledged as such by this group,” he added.The GFOA is a nonprofit as-

sociation serving more than 20,000 government finance professionals.

Myers

“Years of experience, attention to details and a constant goal to create the best message for the advertiser is what builds long-lasting business rela-tionships,” he added.

Long’s efforts in advertising were assisted by the talents of account executives Charlene Waggoner and Laura Sayers.

As for editorial recognition, farragutpress earned seven awards, three of those first-place (Makeup & Appearance, Community Lifestyles and Best Sports Coverage).

“I couldn’t be more proud of the editorial staff of farragutpress,” Cox said. “This newsroom is small and works hard week after week to provide local news coverage about Farragut and the surrounding community. It’s very satisfying when it is recognized by your peers in the industry.”

“The contributions of Tammy Cheek and Michelle

Hollenhead, our general assignment reporters, were critical in winning first-place honors in Community Lifestyles,” said Alan Sloan, farragutpress editor.

“Tony Christen also was the biggest reason for our top finish in Makeup & Appearance, with help from Cindy, who is equally talented,” he added. “As for Best Sports Coverage, that’s mostly thanks to Ken Lay, our talented, reliable and ever-popular corre-spondent.” Moreover, “As a general guiding force, while still letting us do our jobs, I also thank Tony Cox,” Sloan said.

Other editorial awards: third place for Best Fea-ture Photograph (Hollenhead) and third for Best Business Coverage (Cheek); fifth for Best Special Is-sue or Section and fifth for Best Sports Photograph (Carlos Reveiz).

“I was especially proud these awards were earned on Doug Horne’s watch as TPA president,” Sloan said. “He’s been extremely supportive of the entire farragutpress staff dating back to when I started full-time at this paper in 2002.”

ily-friendly environment, encom-passing a variety of rotating food truck vendors, along with at least two permanent on-site offerings they hope would include an ice cream shop and a beer garden.

Their plans, which were en-thusiastically greeted by FMPC members, showed a roughly 9,000-square-foot building with a circular entrance-way and front patio that would set at the corner of Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road. Two separate wings would be constructed fronting both roadways, with parking and an additional patio being located behind the building and out of sight of motorists.

The item was on the agenda for discussion purposes only, noted Community Development direc-tor Mark Shipley, who had been working with the pair after they

purchased the property in Novem-ber.

As their plans be-came clear, and real-izing that c u r r e n t l y food trucks are only permitted in Town limits as part of approved events (such as Taste of Farragut or the Lawn Chair Concert Series), Shipley said he wanted to bring the issue before FMPC for comments and input.

“I wanted to bring it before you to see if they were on the right track or if there might be any ma-jor concerns,” he said.

Justus said the rotating food truck idea would bring in vendors from all over Knoxville, and he knew of more than 50 from which to choose.

Justus and Cortez also stressed an emphasis on a “family friendly” environment, where adults could enjoy their meals or beverages, and children could freely roam in proposed designated play areas.

Although Commissioner Noah Myers Myers voiced safety con-cerns, especially in regarding to entry-ways on and off the proper-ty, “I’m super excited about this,” he said.

Justus said they are working with the adjacent property owner on accessibility.

“This is an awesome concept plan, and I know there are ways to work through any issues,” My-ers added. “I think the citizens of the Town will like this.”

Justus and Cortez said they are still working on many details for what will be a lengthy project.

Justus estimated they will be back before the FMPC with firm-er plans within the next three to four months.

Your Tennessee Press Association Award Winning Newspaper

lettertotheeditorAs owners of The Casual Pint of Farragut, we

want to express our sincere thanks and apprecia-tion to our community for supporting us these past four and a half years.

There are a number of factors leading us to the decision to close and to bring this chapter of our lives to an end.

We want to thank the many people and organi-zations that we interacted with while owning our business. The staff at the Town of Farragut showed their support and pointed us in the right direction when we needed guidance.

Our Casual Pint participated in many activities planned by the Farragut West Knox Chamber and Shop Farragut and we appreciate your support and partnership. We were proud sponsors of The Lawn Chair Series since the beginning and are happy to see the growth of this event.

One highlight over the past years has been our ability to support so many local charities such as: STAR, Smoky Mountain Service Dogs, Interfaith Health Clinic, LLS Man and Woman of the Year and Catholic Charities of East Tennessee.

Our patrons and their generosity made this possible. The backbone of any business is the employees and we want to say a special thanks to all those who ever worked for us. We have a new appreciation for small business owners and we will continue to show our support to you.

Thanks for supporting our Casual Pint and we hope you will stop by during these last few days for one more pint, glass of wine, pretzels and beer cheese or just to say goodbye!

Pat and Barbara O’BrienThe Casual Pint co-owners

• I’m concerned. I was in the grocery store and I was talking to some fellow moms of teens at Farragut High School that graduate from Farragut. Is it true that 76 teachers there the past three years have left Farragut? Doesn’t Farragut have a reputation, or it did in the past, of low turnover? I’m just really concerned as a citizen of this Town.

• Dear farragutpress, I hope that the (Farragut) Board of Mayor and Aldermen makes the right decision and allows TopGolf to come to Farragut. My sons and I love golfing, and it would be really be fun to play golf with them right after school no matter what the weather. Based on how many golf courses there are in Farragut, I know that many other people in our Town love golfing and would definitely have a blast at TopGolf. Because there are not many things to currently do here for teens in Farragut, I think many people would visit and plan events just like they do at Main Event in Knoxville. More visitors means more money for our community. TopGolf would probably bring in more money that what it would cost to bring them here. TopGolf would become very popular and would bring in non-golfers and (inaudible) interests in Town. Farragut needs more places for teens to hang out after school or on weekends. Having a facility like this could be part of a community by helping locals schools with their golf teams. Overall, TopGolf would be a great addition to our community.

• I am calling in regard to the red-light cameras. I would like to see the red-light cameras be gone from the Town of Farragut. I find that they are very much of a nuisance, But mainly I feel that the traffic actually on the road speed through the red-light camera, and there’s going to be accidents happening if there already haven’t been more accidents that have occurred due to red-light camera because it seems like drivers speed up to get through the red-light. I feel that they’re actually a safety hazard.

And also I’d like to comment about the TopGolf company possibly coming to the Farragut area. I think it would be wonderful, because when we get more businesses that create things for families to do, even though I don’t play golf, I think it is an asset for residents as well as for the businesses here that house hotel guests. And it also helps to keep the revenue flowing throughout the Town to keep the real estate taxes for the residents lower. So good companies like that are basically a perk. TopGolf was in the area that we lived in in north-ern Virginia. They’re a great company, it’s a nice building and it has a lot of options rather than just playing golf. They have a great facility that people can actually enjoy.

New Admiral Farragut for 218th

Michelle Hollenhead

Admiral James David Glas-gow Farragut, as portrayed

by Farragut resident Gordon Michaels, made a guest ap-pearance at his own belated birthday party last Thursday, July 11, in Town Hall. He was interviewed by Town Tourism coordinator Karen Tindall for a live Facebook post as part of Farragut Museum Commit-

tee’s belated celebration of the Town namesake’s 218th

birthday. The Admiral was born July 5, 1801, in what is

now the eastern portion of Concord along Fort Loudoun Lake. Lou LaMarche, former Admiral Farragut re-enactor,

confirmed he has retired from the role he played for many

years. “You could say I’m on the retirement list,” he said.

27 years in Farragut

‘A good opportunity’ to become new owners with Goin’ Postal n MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD

[email protected]

Goin’ Postal in Village Green Shopping Center is under new ownership.

Farragut residents Dea Toler, Blake Ve-nable and his father, Frank Venable, pur-chased the business from Bill Groce in late June.

Toler will oversee the day-to-day opera-

tions with the help of Kim Browning, who already was employed at the full-service shipping and mailing business during the last three years.

A life-long accountant, Toler said she was ready for a change “after years of working, hunched over a computer.

“It was a good opportunity, and the previ-ous owner wanted to do something differ-ent, too,” she added. “I’m just really excited

to be here in Farragut.”Goin’ Postal offers all types of shipping

for residential and commercial custom-ers, including Fed/Ex, U.S. Postal Service and UPS, and is “looking into working with (international shipping company) DHL,” Toler said.

“I would also like to help other small, lo-cal businesses save on shipping costs,” she added. “Our goal is to support the commu-

nity in that way, too.”Part of the full-service aspect of its servic-

es includes the company offering free boxes and packing materials for its customers.

“We can even build boxes for them to make it work,” Toler said.

Additional services include post office boxes, notary services, copying, scanning,

Louisiana couple Vaughn Scarbrough and wife, Jess, have taken the plunge to bring the Louisiana-based Smoothie King to the Far-ragut area.

“We decided to give Tennessee a shot,” said Vaughn, a Louisiana native. “We can’t wait for it to be open.”

The Scarbroughs have set a tentative opening date of Tuesday, July 30, in Concord Galleria shopping center at 10802 Kingston Pike, next to Big O Tires, and a grand opening in August. Smoothie King will be the first busi-ness in the center.

“(The opening date) all depends on per-mits,” Vaughn said, adding they have rights to two more (stores). We are just trying to figure out the area to put them at this point.”

At last count, he said there were more than 100 smoothie selections, and that number keeps growing.

“They are built to be kind of the complete meal replacement, all you need,” he said.

“They’re great, and they’re customized,” Jess said. “The brand has made really great strides to be top of the line, as far as quality, nutritious and clean ingredients. It’s one of the reasons we love it a lot.

“We can drink it every day and feed it to our kids and feel all warm and fuzzy inside,” she added and laughed.

“These kids are pretty much made of (smoothies),” Vaughn said about their three children, Ezri, 7; Phoenix, 5; and Soleia, 2.

“I like the Green Tea Tango,” Ezri said.The couple is partnering on the Tennessee

franchise with Sean Cangelosi, owner of some of the Smoothie Kings in Baton Rouge for which they worked since they graduated high school.

“He’s helping us get (the stores) started here,” Vaughan said.

“He’s kind of like family, too,” Jess added. “When we started working for him, I was 17,

Farragut-based Food Donation Connection has been linking res-taurants and other food industry donors with charities to help feed the hungry for nearly 27 years.

FDC, with its headquarters in The Renaissance | Farragut, serves as a middleman between food donors and charities locally, as well as across the nation and in about 26 other countries, ex-plained Jim Larson, vice presi-dent of development food ser-vices.

“Our role is to coordinate sur-plus food donations from restau-rants to local non-profits,” he said. “We are not a food bank, and we don’t handle the food or pick up the food, but we work with restaurants that have surplus food.” Larson explained that sur-plus food is food that is prepared — but not served.

“It’s never left the kitchen,” he added. “They are giving it to a lo-cal charity, and the charity gets it for free. The charity typically comes by once a week to pick up the food.

“Rather than throw it out, (the restaurant employees) just prop-erly handle it in a food-safe way that will save it. They will freeze it and then donate it.”

and (Vaughn) was 18, and now we’re partners on this store.”

Jess added the ingredients used are wholesome.

“They make you feel good about what you’re drinking,” she said. “They help fuel you.”

Smoothie King also offers sup-plements, such as high-protein powders, keto products, bars and other snacks, Jess said.

The first Smoothie King opened in 1973 just outside of New Or-leans and started franchising in 1989.

“It just celebrated 30 years of franchising,” Vaughn said. “It’s grown a lot. We’ve just surpassed 1,000 stores worldwide.”

The couple has had a long his-tory with the company, as they have been working in the stores since they were in high school.

“We both transferred to stores in Baton Rouge at (Louisiana State University), and we met (while working) at a Smoothie King in college. We started dat-ing, and we’ve been working there ever since,” Jess said.

“So, (opening our own store has) been a passion since we were 16,” she added.

“We quickly fell in love with the brand and the product,” Vaughn said.

Then the opportunity arose for

them to fly on their own.“The markets (in Louisiana)

are nice and saturated,” he said. “My wife’s from Tennessee, and we always hoped to move back here, get closer to family, to the mountains.

“We wanted to raise our kids around outdoorsy areas,” Jess added.

Regarding the Concord Galle-ria location, “our corporate office kind of gave us a couple of target intersections (to look at), Vaughn said, adding they chose the Kings-ton Pike location because it is a busy pass-through highway.

“I think that’s where we want-ed to be — for people to make a quick stop on their way from work or from picking their kids up from school, going to or com-ing home from the gym,” he said.

FDC operates a call center to provide logistical support and to answer questions for both the restaurant donors and the chari-ties receiving the food. To help with that endeavor, Larson said everyone at FDC goes through a ServSafe course to ensure that “we are fully aware of all that goes into han-dling food safely.”

FDC has about 20,000 donor lo-cations, including restaurants, airport food service providers, grocery stores and convenience stores. Using a database, it links these locations with about 10,000 non-profit charities in the United States.

To ensure a successful dona-tion relationship, FDC vets the charities in each city. Charities in the Knoxville area include Knox

Area Rescue Ministries, Salvation Army and many others.

“We establish that relationship, so the agency works with the do-nor to arrange a pick-up sched-ule,” Larson said. “We work with the donor to figure out the safe way to donate (the food).”

One such client is Darden Res-taurants, which has 1,700 res-taurants nationwide and is the parent company of such restau-rants as Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen and Seasons 52, among others. Darden Restaurants call its program the Harvest Program.

“We all do some sort of Har-vest Program weekly,” said Tony Llewellyn, general manager of the Olive Garden at 10923 Park-side Drive.

“It’s awesome. Besides every-day running the restaurant, serv-ing lunch and dinner to the com-munity, (the program) is probably the most important thing we do.”

FDC’s first location in Farragut was next to Rick Terry Jewelry De-signs off Kingston Pike. It moved to Renaissance in 2007.

Gruhn looking to soar at AFA

Marking three generations of military service

n MICHELLE HOLLENHEAD mhollenheadfarragutpress.com

Looking to soar far beyond the long fly balls she tracked down as an outfielder with Far-ragut High School softball, Joely Gruhn recently reported for duty as a freshman cadet with the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The FHS Class of 2019 gradu-ate received an appointment to the prestigious military academy late last year, but as the child and grandchild of military veterans she said she had been planning

for the challenge the last three years.

“I didn’t really know about the Academy until my grandfather told me about it,” Gruhn said. “Then I watched literally every video they put out.”

Already entrenched athletically with softball, and just as dedicat-ed academically, Gruhn realized the goal was attainable.

“I just really fell in love with ev-erything about it,” she said about the Academy.

A 2017 visit to the Academy clinched the deal in Gruhn’s mind. But her parents, Dave and

Kelly Gruhn, weren’t quickly con-vinced.

“My dad was an Air Force pilot, and Dave (currently discipleship/teaching pastor at Two Rivers Church) was a Marine Corps pi-lot,” Kelly said. “I loved being in (a) military (family), but as the mother of two girls it never oc-curred to me that I would have a daughter who would want to pur-sue that, too.”

“I was pretty against it initial-ly,” Dave said. “But after going out there to visit, I changed my mind. When I saw the Academy and saw her dedication to doing

whatever she had to do to get in, I went from thinking it was not a good idea to seeing it as an envi-ronment where she could thrive.”

Gruhn also applied and was ac-cepted to the Academy’s Summer Seminar program last summer.

“I just prayed that God would close the door if that was not

where she should be,” said Kelly, who teaches math at FHS.

“I knew my life would be easier if it turned out this wasn’t what I wanted,” Gruhn herself recalled. “But while I was there, and they were doing the military wake up,

Faith, tested by trials, has Ruth at 100


Saying she “stays busy all the time” at Park Place Indepen-dent Five-Star Senior Living in Farragut thanks to “movies, bingo and singing,” Ruth Coker Jenkins is especially vibrant and energetic for someone pre-paring to celebrate 100 years of

life early next month.Sharing a crushing loss as a

child was recalled in vivid detail.Ruth’s longevity didn’t extend

to her mother, Julia Suits Coker, who died at age 44.

Only 12 when her mother began a two-year battle with pneumonia and tuberculosis, Ruth had to be-come a makeshift mother to four younger siblings while growing up at Lowe’s Ferry Pike, along what is now Northshore Drive near Pel-lissippi Parkway (Interstate 140).

“It was very tough. I was the oldest and it all laid on my shoul-ders,” Ruth said during an inter-view July 11, just one month shy

of her 100th birthday Aug. 11. “My dad (John Coker) just lost it, he didn’t know what to do.

“I’ve cried and I’ve cried over my mother,” she added.

“… She cut our hair, made our clothes, canned a lot of food.

“She worked so hard.” But she had “taken pneumo-

nia, and she didn’t take care of herself, and then she developed tuberculosis,” Ruth said.

As a result, Ruth and the other siblings could not console their mother with hugs and kisses — she was quarantined. “We couldn’t

• She went on be elected as an aldermen from the North Ward, serving on the first Board of Mayor and Aldermen in April 1980.

• Helping to build the Town as an elected offi-cial, McGill served four years (until April 1984).

Less than 24 hours before making their plans public to in-corporate in late fall 1979, with the boundaries of what would be called the Town of Farragut ap-parently set, members of Farra-gut Community Group suddenly realized they made a potentially fatal mistake.

Happening to pass by a map of the City of Oak Ridge at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, civil engineer Eric Johnson, was about to panic: the group was so con-sumed with compliance concern-ing town boundaries and the City of Knoxville, boundaries near Oak Ridge were drawn too close.

“Then, if you were within a municipality of say, 20,000 people or more, they could stop your in-corporation immediately,” John-son said. “… We didn’t think of Oak Ridge.

“I don’t think there was any reason Oak Ridge would stop us, but you don’t know how politics works and we didn’t want to take a chance,” he added.

“That night, before we went public, was a very exciting night,” FCG member Betty Dick recalled.

Attempting a last-hour fix to re-draw the boundaries, “Ev-erybody met at my house,” Dick said. “And Eric and (the late Dr.) Ralph (McGill) went out in the boonies. At that time there were no cell phones, so they would go down to the Flying J (truck stop along Watt Road) and call the house and give Dave (Rodgers) coordinants. And Dave would dic-tate to me and proofread.”

“They were running around like mad redrawing,” FCG member Gene McNalley said of Johnson and Dr. McGill, who succeeded in making the necessary overnight changes.

A key change in proposed boundaries in regard to Oak

Ridge, according to FCG member Ron Simandl: We cut out a corner up there at the truck stops (along Watt Road).”

Keeping a secretWanting to keep its annexation

plans a secret so City of Knox-ville officials, led by Mayor Ran-dy Tyree, wouldn’t annex major portions of the proposed incor-porated area, “We’re amazed it didn’t get out because we had to go door-to-door trying to get money from people so this could go forward,” FCG member Mari-anne McGill said. “And we told people, ‘You can’t say anything.’ Can you imagine that happening today? No.

“I just feel like it was a mira-cle; everything just kind of fell into place.”

About acquiring names for a Farragut voting list, “The thing is we had to do that without letting them know what we were doing,” Simandl said, adding, “It was done very well. Nobody suspected anything downtown.”

Getting a unique opportunity to make its move, “Ralph said, ‘We’re going to announce because Randy Tyree’s going out of town … he went on vacation,” Dick said. “Ralph called all the news media: radio, TV, the newspapers, that there was going to be an announcement at Village Green clubhouse.”

However, “Only one reporter showed up,” she added. “We were later told there were some in the back.

However, “The word got out very quickly.”

Door-to-Door“We had to do some fundrais-

ing, too, so we all went door-to-door in our neighborhoods,” Dick said.

“We didn’t go to every door. We went to people who we thought would support us,” she added. “When we went public we got a lot more volunteers.”

Moreover, “We had to go door-to-door to take a census,” Dick said. “My husband (Jeremy Dick) helped me take the census.

“There were some houses we did miss because they weren’t safe to go in,” she added.

Simandl said he “walked holes into my shoes doing Kingsgate, Linda Heights, Belleaire since I was in (what would become) the South Ward.”

Meanwhile, “I think I lived on the phone,” he added.

Dr. George Dorsey, an or-ganic chemist at ORNL and an FCG member, “knew people in Fox Den, Village Green that he could talk to and bring along.” Simandl said.

However, for all the door-to-door effort, the most difficult task was “convincing people,” Simandl said.

About the leadership of the Dr. McGill within the group, “He was very organized,” Simandl said.

Election Commission About getting future Farragut

resident information, “We had to go down to Knox County (Elec-tion Commission) and go through all the books of registered voters and figure out which ones were in that area of who could vote, and who couldn’t vote, after we had drawn the lines of where we wanted it to be,” McGill said.

Copying addresses from vot-er registration files at KCEC,

Dick and Jan Johnson, then wife of Eric Johnson, “copied from roll books. … I think it took us three or four days to go through them all.

“Then we had to copy them to our own election book,” she add-ed. “In doing so, we did miss a few people, which didn’t go over well. We didn’t intentionally miss anybody.”

Also needed when interacting with the public, “We had to col-lect money because we had to pay the Election Commission to hold a vote.”

When completed, “We gave it to Ted Lundy, he was a squire,” Dick said.

Door-to-door ‘sales,’ compiling voter rolls key for planning incorporation vote

Fixing last-minute ‘Oak Ridge’ matter critical

go see her — and when we did we had to look through glass,” she said. “I guess she died with a broken heart. It was awful.”

However, “We made it alright, considering every-thing. … We watched after each other,” Ruth said. “I think it’s made me a stronger person.

“Maybe it’s why I’ve lived so long.”As for the most important element helping Ruth

survive and thrive from the early 1930s into adult-hood, its the same source of strength she credits for living 100 years: her Christian faith.

“Jesus has kept me alive. … The Lord is leaving me here for some reason,” she said.

Remembering Kingston Pike consisting of “real fine gravel” and along its path “nothing anywhere except cattle and horses,” Ruth spoke about her husband of 64 years, the late Fred Jenkins.

Ruth first met Fred among a bunch of teenagers who were running away from an angry man on Hal-

loween. Ruth said she was 17. Fred was 20. “We were running through this chicken lot — he

thought I was a boy because I was wearing overalls and a cap,” she said.

With Ruth and Fred innocently mixed up with a group who were creating mischief, and fearing they would be caught, Ruth recalled Fred saying to her, “‘lie dead over there boy, (otherwise) you might get hurt.’ He thought I was a boy.”

Meanwhile, Ruth discovered Fred “was tall, dark and handsome,” she added. “And he was quiet.”

Fred and Ruth were married about two years after first meeting.

Parenting two sons, Richard Jenkins (79) and Steve Jenkins (67) while living in Thornton Heights, Ruth also has three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren who visit her regularly or periodically.

A housewife before becoming a salesperson at Miller’s department store in downtown Knoxville and West Town Mall, “I retired after 18 years,” Ruth said.

About any other special longevity secrets or ad-vise, “I haven’t figured that out yet,” Ruth said.

and everything else, I thought, ‘Dang it, I love this.’”

She started the rigorous appli-cation process soon after.

“They are looking for leaders,” said Gruhn, whose high school contributions and accomplish-

ments more than met that cri-teria. She was president of the National Honor Society, attended Girls State and was involved with Student Government Association and Teen Board.

After completing the applica-tion to the Academy, she still needed a political appointment to complete the process.

Gruhn was interviewed by rep-resentatives in the offices of Ten-nessee U.S. Senators Lamar Alex-ander and Bob Corker,

She also was interviewed per-sonally by then U.S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan Jr. (R-2nd Dis-trict).

“Congressman Duncan called me at school, last October, to let

me know I got into the Academy,” she said.

Gruhn plans to be a pilot — just like her father and grandfather — which means many years of Air Force service ahead.

The family, which includes younger daughter, Clare, who will be a junior this fall at FHS, has mainly heard from Gruhn through

letters since the training started — and has spoken to her only once.

“She is loving it,” her mother said. “The place, her (drill in-structors), her squadron, flight and roommates. She said, ‘Mom, don’t worry about me! I am right where I’m supposed to be.

“’These are my people.’”

’Rays No. 1 in League 2

n STAFF REPORTS [email protected]

Despite a 385-345 loss to rival Concord Hills Piranhas during its regu-lar-season ending home meet Tuesday, July 16, the Sugarwood Stingrays still managed to win Greater Knoxville Area Interclub Swimming Asso-ciation League 2 with a 4-1 record.

While Village Green ended in a three-way tie for second place in League 1 at 2-2, the Gators were Smoky Mountain Invitational champs.

The Piranhas ended tied for second in League 2 with another Farragut rival, the Fox Den Red Foxes, each finishing with 3-2 records. The Red Foxes were successful in their season-ending home meet, beating Jef-ferson City Swim Club 385-320 July 16.

All four Farragut teams are preparing for this weekend’s GKAISA “City Meet” at the University of Tennessee’s Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquat-ic Center Thursday through Saturday, July 25-27.
