piece they create on site andthey’ll also have a studio piece,and all of it will be for sale,” saidFBA executive director Allison

Sousa. The sale price will be splitbetween the artist and the FBA.

“And our hope is that we willbe able to purchase one of thecommemorative iron parkbenches, designated as beingfrom the Farragut BusinessAlliance and Art in the Park.That’s the ultimate goal: to giveback to the parks,” Sousa said.

Twenty-five artists are partici-pating in Art in the Park thisyear.

“That’s a 40 percent increaseover last year. We’re very excit-ed,” Sousa said.

“There was a huge interestthis year,” she added.

Artists will paint on locationat Campbell Station Park, MayorBob Leonard Park, McFee Park,Anchor Park, Farragut Town Halland the Farragut MemorialPlaza, the historic PleasantForest Cemetery, Old Concordand off Bridgemore Boulevard.

This year’s event also will fea-ture on-site musicians and amini-lesson provided by Allied

During discussions with Farragut’s com-prehensive land use plan consultants,members of the Town’s economic develop-ment committee wondered whether theTown could — or should — pursue build-ing a downtown district.

Jeff Winston of Winston Associatesasked EDC members where downtownwas.

“There isn’t one,” EDC chair GinnyMcLain-Tate, of BB&T, said.

The comprehensive land use plan willhelp Farragut dictate how land should bedeveloped or redeveloped in future, withan eye toward the Town’s vision and goals.The focus groups — including one withthe EDC — were held April 3-4 and willhelp create preliminary ideas to be vettedin public meetings beginning in May.

“The heart of Farragut is right in thisarea,” McLain-Tate said of the KingstonPike/Campbell Station Road intersection,commonly thought of as the center ofFarragut.

Farragut has bandied about the idea ofconstructing a downtown for years, includ-ing one plan for a town center district to

Three homeowners association presi-dents participated in a land use plan focusgroup Wednesday, April 4, although allhomeowners association presidents wereinvited.

John-Paul Renier of Village Green, SueGroves of Park Place and Barb Moseley ofCottages at Pryse Farm helped consult-ants from Winston Associates determinethe best and worst qualities of life inFarragut.

“I like what Farragut has become,”Moseley said.

“We’re not a strict bedroom communitylike I’ve heard us described,” she added.

“We have the best of both worlds here,”Groves said, referring to Farragut’s inclu-sion in a larger metro area but small-townfeel.

The trio complimented Farragut’s plan-ning, aesthetic and building restrictions,including sign and light ordinances, aswell as on the Town’s extensive park andgreenway systems.

“I’m glad it’s very well planned ratherthan happenstance,” Groves said. “There’san impressive park system here.”

The HOA presidents were one of severalfocus groups that met to discussFarragut’s land use plan last week, withthe ideas generated by the groups set tobe discussed at a public meeting sched-

be built on former mayor EddyFord’s property off KingstonPike that was abandoned due tothe recession.

But some EDC membersthought the downtown idea per-haps should be dropped.

“Seventy-five percent of thecorners [at the KingstonPike/Campbell Station intersec-tion] are empty. I’m not surewe’re right about this being thecenter,” Phil Dangel, TheShrimp Dock owner, said.

“There is so much emptyspace in spots we think aregood, but we aren’t able to fillthem,” he added.

David Purvis, Farragut Wine& Spirits owner, said, “I some-times feel we’re trying to takeourselves back to another time,and that [downtown] doesn’twork anymore.”

“I don’t think we could takethis intersection and build adowntown around it — it wouldbe too difficult and I don’t thinkit would be viable anyway,” headded.

Alderman Bob Markli saidmany municipalities are spend-ing millions trying to rehabili-tate existing downtowns, andFarragut’s retail core alreadyhad shifted toward theInterstate and Turkey Creek.

“There’s no putting thatchicken back in the coop,” hesaid.

He wondered if Kingston Pikecouldn’t become a social activitycenter, with offices, restaurantsand community-based smalltenants, a community center,churches, sports facilities andsuch.

“You don’t look at it for rev-enue potential. Farragut is aresidential town,” he said.

That led EDC to another

vision for Farragut — one thatincludes more apartment build-ings.

“Bring the age we’re lookingfor into Town,” Dangel said of ayounger generation of potentialFarragut residents.

Apartment buildings evencould be constructed on vacantproperties that currently arezoned commercial.

“Would you want apartmentson a former grocery store site?Probably not. But a former gro-cery store next to a creek and apath? Maybe,” Winston said.

Those types of ideas are thepurpose of a comprehensiveland use plan, Winston said.The process was about identify-ing the areas subject to change— for example, Farragut’svacant commercial properties— and then establish a visionfor how those areas should

uled for 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 8.“It’s an important thing

because it takes everybody’sinput,” Renier said of the landuse plan, which helps Farragutdesignate how land should bedeveloped and redeveloped.

The three HOA presidents alsohad ideas for how Farragutshould look in the future, partic-ularly in reference to currentlyempty shopping centers alongKingston Pike.

“Turkey Creek really enhancedthe Town,” Moseley said. “But onthe other hand, it’s shifted andnow you have an ‘old Farragut.’”

Groves said Kingston Pike

shouldn’t be redeveloped to nec-essarily compete with TurkeyCreek, but to fill gaps TurkeyCreek doesn’t fill.

“I’d like to see Farragut stay asit is,” Renier said, indicating heliked seeing Farragut as a large-ly residential community, withTurkey Creek being “a little toomuch.”

“Do we need more? I’m not sosure,” he said.

The three also wanted to seeincreased connectivity amonggreenways, rather than linkswithout connections, and wereamenable to Farragut’s down-town concept — the TownCenter District — being redis-cussed.

redevelop.According to Winston, the

comprehensive land use plan

also will include an action planto take those ideas from dreamto reality.

Put Time - andTax-Advantaged

Investments -on Your Side

If you’re relatively young, and you’vebeen investing only a few years, you pos-sess an asset that is invaluable and can-not be replaced: time. And the moretime you spend contributing to tax-advantaged investments, the better offyou may be.

As an investor, time is your ally fortwo reasons. First, the more time yougive to your growth-oriented invest-ments, the greater their growth poten-tial. And second, the effects of marketvolatility have tended to decrease overtime, though as you no doubt haveheard, past performance is not a guar-antee of future results.

Clearly, it pays to put time on yourside. And when you’re investing in tax-advantaged vehicles, time becomes aneven more critical component of invest-ment success, especially when you areyoung and have several decades aheadof you before you retire.

Suppose, for example, that you put$200 per month into an investment onwhich you paid taxes every year. If youearned a hypothetical 7% return on thisinvestment, you’d end up with about$324,000 after 40 years. But if you putthat same $200 per month into a tax-deferred investment, such as a tradi-tional Individual Retirement Account(IRA), and you earned that same 7%return, you’d wind up with about$513,000 after 40 years. Of course, onceyou starting taking withdrawals, pre-sumably when you’re retired, you’ll haveto pay taxes on your earnings, so yourafter-tax accumulation would be about$385,000, assuming you took your IRA ina lump sum (which most people don’t)and also assuming you were in the 25%tax bracket. However, by the time youretire, you may be in a lower bracket.

Plus, you have some control over howmuch you withdraw each year, so youmay be able to affect the taxes you’llpay. Furthermore, depending on yourincome level, your contributions to atraditional IRA may be tax-deductiblein the years in which you make the con-tributions. (Keep in mind that thishypothetical example is for illustrativepurposes only and does not represent aspecific investment or investment strat-egy.)

While tax deferral is obviously a nicefeature for an investment, tax-free maybe even better. If you meet the incomerequirements, you might want to con-sider investing in a Roth IRA, whichprovides tax-free earnings withdrawals,provided you’ve held your account for atleast five years and you don’t start tak-ing withdrawals until you’re at least age59?. This means that, in the aboveexample, you’d have accumulated thatsame $513,000 — but you won’t have topay taxes on your withdrawals.Generally speaking, the Roth IRA maymake more financial sense for thosewho are eligible, but if you think you’llbe in a lower tax bracket when youretire, and your income level permitsyou to deduct some of your contribu-tions, you may want to consider a tradi-tional IRA. Consult with your tax advi-sor for guidance on the most appropri-ate approach for your situation.

When it comes to building resourcesfor retirement, it’s almost impossible tosave and invest “too much.” So take fulladvantage of both time and tax-advan-taged investments. By putting theseinvestments to work for you, and bykeeping them at work, you’ll be puttingtime on your side as you work towardyour financial goals.

Terrah Banakas has openedher own massage therapy busi-ness in Renaissance | Farragut,with an open house planned forApril 13.

“I do a lot of therapeutic work,for people who have chronicconditions or something they’vebeen trying to get worked out,”Banakas said.

Banakas offers deep tissue,relaxation, sports and chair mas-sages and aromatherapy.

Banakas will host an openhouse from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.,Friday, April 13, and invites thepublic to “come in and check itout.” Massage by Terrah Banakasis located in suite 204 inRenaissance, 12740 KingstonPike, next to Seasons Café.

Banakas is offering discountsduring April.

While Banakas does offersome relaxation massage, shespecializes in therapeutic work,which focuses on problem areasor even chronic conditions suchas fibromyalgia.

“We really focus in on thatmuscle group and all the mus-cles that are being pulled out ofalignment,” Banakas said.

“People don’t necessarily haveto come in to get a full-bodymassage, but they might come injust for that one area to work on,and they might make it a shorterappointment and more frequentduring the month.

“I like to help those people,”she added.

Banakas also offers energywork, a unique treatment thatfocuses on positive energy.

“Some people have a chronicillness and can’t have a lot oftheir lymph moved around intraditional massage styles,” shesaid. For such clients, “the bestyou can do is have an intent toheal. That energy goes a longway.

“I explain it to people thatwhen you go into a room andthere’s so much tension you feelyou could cut it with a knife,that’s negative energy. So youwant to try to put [out] positiveenergy, healing energy, prayer,”Banakas said.

Banakas said energy work isavailable to clients who requestit.

“It’s not as popular, but it issomething people can request.And if they can find it here,they’ll know where to go whenthey want it,” she said.

Banakas also offers a “staywell program,” which offers dis-counts to clients who book mas-sage appointments a monthapart, or who buy packages.

“Like, if they buy three or sixor twelve hours in advance,which they can break up howev-er they choose: they can share itwith a family member or break itdown into 90 minutes or even atwo-hour massage session, theycan do that,” Banakas said.

She also offers a referral pro-

gram, which gives new clients a$10 discount off a massage andgives the person who referredthem a $15 discount.

Banakas takes massages byappointment, which can bearranged at her website,http://massage.terrahbanakas.com/

FIS fundraiser a big,tasty hit with students

■ ALAN [email protected]

The goal of McTeachers Nightat Farragut McDonald’s was to raise fundstoward improving classroom technology atFarragut Intermediate School.

But for FIS students on hand to enjoy BigMacs, crispy fries and other treats, “Theyabsolutely love seeing the teachers outsideof the classroom,” said Susan Horn, FIS PTApresident.

Horn’s third-grade daughter, Reagan, wasamong several FIS families enjoying fun andfood — featuring FIS teachers as greetersat both entrances — that extended from 5to 8 p.m., Thursday evening, March 29.

Raising $700, McTeachers Night was held

withthe blessing ofJason Burger, McDonald’sfranchisee (Farragut and Lenoir City).

“I think they were hoping for maybe 10families, but I already see 15 or 20 comingin here,” said Dacia Maxwell-Hix, FIS PTAmember and substitute teacher, around 6p.m. “This is far beyond what they expected.Teachers were challenging their students tobring their families in.”


Jason Dockery gets a to-go order for his family, which includes daughters Kayla, 8(in back), and Blakely, 7, and son, Tyler, 9. They are pictured with Tyler’s third-gradeteacher at FIS, Carolyn Clemmons, who’s doubling as a greeter.

The Smith family was totallyblindsided by Wilson’s diseaseearly in 2011, leaving youngestson, 16-year-old Parker, in awheelchair and unable tospeak.

Wilson’s disease – a buildupof copper in the body attackingvarious organs – was discoveredin Parker last April, and istriggered by “a genetic disorder,he got it from his dad [Ed] andI,” said Gina Smith, Parker’smother.

“We don’t have it, but we’reboth carriers,” she added. “Onein 100 people carry this disor-der. It takes two people that arecarriers to [pass it on] to yourchild. And then the child has aone-in-four chance of havingit.”

Parker Smith Tournamentwas Farragut Baseball Inc.’sway of helping the family payfor mounting medical bills forParker, a first baseman inMickey Mantle League clingingto hope for a full recovery.

“Of all the kids on the team,he’s probably the one with thebest strength and resolve to beable to handle an adversitysuch as this,” said assistantcoach Jeff Jansen, whoseMickey Mantle team was amongseveral FB, Inc. youth teamsthat played in the three-dayfundraising tournament Friday-Sunday, March 30-April 1, atNorthshore Fields.

“He’s been playing baseballsince he’s been 5,” Gina said.

In February 2011, “He startedhaving what I thought wereneurological symptoms,” Ginasaid. “His balance was off andhis voice was slowing, he wasn’tspeaking as fast as normal. Hewas weaker and not as loud.”

“His expression on his facewas different.”

Taken to “orthopedic andpediatric” physicians locallywithout a successful diagnosis,the Smiths finally got Parker’sWilson’s disease diagnosis atVanderbilt University MedicalCenter in Nashville after “anemergency room visit” April 8.

Farragut Baseball, Inc. helps Parker

The news about Parker “actu-ally was not devastating,” Ginasaid. “I was afraid it would besomething so much worse.”

Parker currently is unable towalk, speak or even hold his eye-lids open without having to usehis hands, Gina said. “It’s like aspasm in the eyelids.”

Through it all, “doctors said itwas definitely treatable and thatthere was a very good chancethat he would have a completerecovery,” Gina said.

However, “It has taken longerthan we expected that it would… he has not gotten better yet.”

With the Smiths members ofFirst Baptist Concord, “The peo-ple there are always offering tohelp,” Gina said, also including“Shriners” and “the baseballteam” among other groups andindividuals helping provide “afinancial cushion. … He has alot of great, great friends.”

That also included “a coupleof friends of Parker’s who hadbenefits for him at PaintingWith a Twist on Lovell Road,”

Gina added. Having caught up on his

schoolwork as a sophomore“part-time” student at HardinValley Academy according toGina, “Parker is a high-achieverand he wants to be psychiatrist.”

One good thing has come froman otherwise devastating dis-ease.

“I get to spend a lot of timewith Parker, and I have gotten toknow him so much better,” Ginasaid.

Though Ed lost his job inJanuary 2011, and the familyalready was without healthinsurance at that time, “We haveinsurance now. Things are look-ing better now,” Gina said.

The Smiths’ oldest son, Austin,17, also has contracted Wilson’sdisease.

However, “It hasn’t activatedin him,” Gina said. “Just know-ing you have it, you can treat it.Austin is taking medication nowto keep the copper from accumu-lating in his body.”

“And there’s also the experi-mental component, where we test-ed the system,” Messing added.“We actually printed it usingthree-dimensional printers to seeif it would work the way it shouldconceptually.”

Areas tested were “mobility,payload capacity — how muchweight it could handle — its abili-ty to climb inclines. And therewere also several simulations

Meksiko Cantinabrings a whole newmeaning to authenticMexican food inFarragut.

In 2010, owner MarioNavarro decided to givethe West Knoxville areaexactly what it needed,and that is real Mexicanfood. Navarro has lived inFarragut for the past

eleven years and simply states, “I love this town!I have great relationships with customers, neigh-bors, and my church. That is the reason I openedhere. We needed one Mexican spot that was verygood and a little upscale with real Mexican fla-vor.”

One quality that makes this Meksiko Cantinadifferent from other restaurants in the area is itsvariety of Mexican food. The traditional items areall on the menu, but there is an additional twistto the deliciousness. Mario’s hometown isCuliacán, Sinola on the Pacific side of Mexico.Their meals specialize in seafood dishes, so Mariobrought the same specialization to the MeksikoCantina. From the countless steak, chicken, andpork dishes, to the shrimp and fish varieties,everyone is sure to find something on the menu tosatisfy the taste buds.

The other characteristic that makes Meksikogreat is its atmosphere. The classy yet comfort-able restaurant allows guests to feel right athome as soon as they walk through the doors.Navarro explains, “We offer great food and a greatatmosphere for our neighbors in Farragut. Iremember what they drive, where they sit, andeven what they order!” These words could notspeak any truer or come from a more genuineman.

Among many celebrations Meksiko Cantinahosts throughout the year, the Cinco de Mayo isone of the largest. This three day feast starts onThursday, May 3, and includes a Mariachi bandand a Salsa contest while enjoying outside din-ning. Friday, May 4 offers a taco bar, drinks, andlive music all outside under a huge party tentfrom 5-10 p.m. Saturday, May 5 includes a biglunch special, live music inside and outside fromtwo bands from 5 p.m. until 1 a.m., prizes, con-tests, and of course, great food. RSVPs are notrequired, so be sure to join the Meksiko Cantinagang for their special Cinco de Mayo celebration!

Welcome to our new FarragutWest Knox Chamber members! by Courtney Such

Many small busi-nesses are missing outon potential revenuefrom government con-tracts because they

don't understand how to sell to local govern-ment. Here are some tips:

Learn What Local Government AgenciesNeed

Visit local government agency websites tolearn more about their needs and whether ornot your business can help them. In mostcases you can register and receive electronicnotification of new contracts out for bid.

Network and Make ConnectionsMake your company and its capabilities

known to local government buyers and deci-sion-makers even when you're not pursuing acontract. Many government agencies holdprocurement conferences and seminarsthroughout the year. Attend these confer-ences to network and build relationships withimportant agency personnel while gainingfirst-hand knowledge about selling to localgovernment.

Diversity MattersMost government agencies have formal or

informal diversity goals in their contractingso if you are a minority-owned business orDBE you may have an advantage in securingcontracts. Find out if your local governmenthas a process for documenting your minoritystatus.

Explore Teaming OptionsIf it seems your company is too small or

inexperienced to win local government con-tracts, consider subcontracting instead.Prime contractors will often team with asmaller business when necessary to get a jobdone. Get a list of prime contractors fromyour local government agencies and then con-tact them to express an interest in being asubcontractor.

TSBDC business specialists can assist youin this process. Our services are free and con-fidential. Visit our website at www.tsbdc.orgor call our office for an appointment at 865-246-2663.

Member Briefs From page 3

A characteristic ofgreat organization isthe ability to handlemistakes well. Mistakesare a part of everydaylife both personally andprofessionally; yetthe value of takingresponsibility, and

the effect it has on others is oftenmisunderstood.

It is human nature to struggle with tak-ing responsibility or admitting amistake. But nothing worthwhile comeseasy, right? Being mindful of yourability to make mistakes is the first stepto handling them well. In business as wellas in our personal lives mistakes anderrors happen often. It’s the nature of lifein a sense.

When confronted with a situation where you could be responsible for amistake, ask yourself the following questions:What role did I or my team play in this situation? What are all of the potential waysI could be responsible for what happened? If it is not my fault, how can I work towards a resolution with the responsible party? Asking these questions allows us to

look into the situation and find ananswer, rather than take the hands-offapproach that can be frustrating for oth-ers. Handling it well means following upon 3 crucial levels:1. Take Responsibility.

Simply explain what happened, and apologize. Make sure you NEVER use “but”, “if ” or anyone else’s name. Taking responsibility is not an opportunity to make excuses. Even if the problem was only 10% your fault, most times it is more appropriate to take responsibility for your mistake(s) so that both sides can hopefully move ahead positively.

2. Make it Right.What it takes to make a situation right varies, but don’t hesitate to go over and above the status quo to make situations right.

3. Prevent it From Happening Again.Think strategically. Learn from not only your mistakes, but others as well. Never stop investigating. Every question we have leads us toanother and in turn, leads us tosuccess. When mistakes are made, apologizing and making thesituation right may not be quite enough. Take very clear steps internallyto ensure that the mistake does not happen again.

Don’t divide into weak and strong,success or failure, rather learnersand non-learners. Because … we allstrive to learn a little more each day.

“I have learned the novicecan often see things that theexpert overlooks. All that isnecessary is not to be afraid

of making mistakes, or ofappearing naive.”

— Abraham Maslow
