Honor Guard thanks county
TRACEY WOLFE
Editor
RUTLEDGE – The Tri-County Veterans
Honor Guard visited the Grainger County
Commission during its meeting, Monday.
Vice-Commander Earl Loy addressed
the commission, thanking them for
the county’s contribution of $5,000 to
help offset expenses. He presented the
commission with a card of thanks and a
copy of the ten folds of the flag.
The men appeared in their uniforms
to allow commissioners to see what
the money donated to the honor guard
goes to pay for. He said uniforms cost
approximately $500 each and rifles are
about $410 each.
He said the honor guard is in need of
a van to transport the honor guard to
funerals. He said it currently takes four
or five cars to transport all of the men.
Grainger County Mayor Mark Hipsher
will contact Union County Mayor Mike
Williams and Claiborne County Mayor
Jack Daniels to check into the possibility
of collaborating to help the honor guard
obtain a van.
“Mayor, county commission, ladies
and gentlemen, thank you very kindly
from the Tri-County Veterans Honor
Guard,” Loy said.
In other business the commission
voted to have Hipsher seek preliminary
price estimates and plans for a new EMS
building to be built on county-owned
property adjacent to the justice center.

The Tri-County Veterans Honor Guard attended Monday’s Grainger County Commission meeting to offer its thanks to the county for its
financial contribution to the honor guard.
The motion was made by Commissioner
Darrell Williams following discussion of a
proposed lease of a new EMS building to
be built by Dr. Mark Holland.
That lease would be at a cost of $850
per month for five years.
Commissioners
discussed
the
possibility of the county building its own
building to avoid rising costs of rent in
future years.
The commission also approved:
• applying for a $300,000 Community
Development Block Grant to support the
five county volunteer fire departments,
with the county to pay a $25,000 match;
and
• allowing the Blaine Volunteer Fire
Department to add a bay to its building at
no cost to the county.

Zach Long named SEC runner of the week
ELMER SMITH
GT Correspondent
BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA – Last
Tuesday the Southeastern Conference
announced that Grainger High School
graduate and University of Tennessee
cross-country runner Zach Long had
been chosen as the SEC Freshman
Runner of the Week.
That award was based on Long’s
performance in the October 3 Greater
Louisville Cross-Country Classic which
was run at the E. P. “Tom” Sawyer State
Park in Louisville, Kentucky.
In that meet Long finished ahead of
Volunteer seniors Kyle Walter and Jack
Little with a time of 25:06.83, which was
45 seconds faster than the time he ran in
the Vanderbilt Commodore Invitational
where he was a close third to the two
senior runners.
“Running in college is relatively
similar (to high school)”, said Long. “The
big difference is the increase in mileage
with longer work outs and a longer race.”
In high school cross-country runners
traverse a 5K distance (3.1 miles) while
the college cross-country race covers 8K
which is five miles. “The coaches have
helped a lot to have us establish a mind
set that we aren’t in high school any
more,” continued Long. “It’s different not
running near the front now and being
more toward the middle of the pack.
I’ve had to adjust to that but hopefully
that will transition to moving toward the
front and being more comfortable in that
position.”
Long and the Volunteer cross-country
team will return to Louisville and Sawyer
State Park Saturday for a Pre-National
meet under the direction of the National
Collegiate Athletes Association (NCAA).
Not only will this meet allow Long and

the other Tennessee runners to become
more comfortable with the course but
it also allows runners to earn a larger
number of qualifying points than other
races as they attempt to qualify for the
national championship meet.
Following the Pre-National meet,
the Tennessee team will next run in

E-911 employees putting in extra hours
Employees training for Emergency
Medical Dispatch certification
RUTLEDGE – The Grainger County
E-911
Emergency
Communications
Telecommunicators have been working
extra shifts and extra days in order for
all four shifts to certify in Emergency
Medical Dispatch (EMD).
The Telecommunicators were trained
in two separate three-day classes. As
half of the Telecommunicators trained,
the other half worked.
The class was taught by instructors
from the International Academies of
Emergency Dispatch (IAED). Although
an American company, the protocols and
principles are taught and used all over
the world – Europe, North and South
America, Austria and Asia, just to name
a few.
The call taking system and the series of
questions by the Telecommunicator does
not slow down the emergency response,
it enhances it. As the Telecommunicator
is talking to the caller, their partner is
setting off alert tones and dispatching
emergency service providers to the
patient. The critical patient information
gathered by the Telecommunicator
can then be relayed to the Emergency
Medical responders as well as used by
the Telecommunicator to help the patient
by giving critical lifesaving instructions
to the caller such as CPR, the Heimlich
maneuver, etc.
Emergency Medical
Dispatch is not a state or federal mandate.
Grainger County E-911 purchased the
EMD software and training on its own to
better serve the citizens and visitors of
the community.

health insurance.
Its infant mortality rate is 67th, and
it is ranked 65th in the number of child

The high school graduation rate was
41st in the state. It is 19th in school
suspensions. The rank in TCAP reading
scores is 79. The youth unemployment
rate is 91st in Tennessee.
KIDS COUNT, a project of the Annie E.
Casey foundation, is an effort to provide

child advocates with reliable data, policy
recommendations and tools needed
to advance sound policies that benefit
children and families. The Tennessee

Martial artist helping karate schools
team up in fight against breast cancer
SCOTT HUMPHREY
GT Reporter
BLAINE - “Karate for the Cure” is the
inspiration of a young black belt student,
Ryan Walton, whose goal is to make a
contribution to the fight against breast
cancer. The nine-year-old from Blaine is
bringing two local martial arts schools
together with the Susan G. Komen
Foundation for this special fundraiser for
breast cancer research. The instructors
and students of the Samurai Dragons
dojo in Farragut and Broadway Family
Karate in Fountain City are working
together to conduct this special “Karate
for the Cure” workshop.
Ryan, a probationary Black Belt, was
greatly touched when his aunt, Kim, was
diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012,
and underwent chemotherapy, radiation
and surgery. “It touched him so deeply
that he now wears pink with pride for
her,” said Ryan’s mother, Kelli Walton.
“He starts getting excited for Race for the
Cure in about July every year. We walk in
honor of my sister every year and I think
it has instilled the mission in him that it
is up to all of us to make a difference. He
is very passionate about it.”
Ryan’s aunt, Kim, has been cancerfree in the years since.
This special martial arts/self-defense
workshop is designed especially for
women and girls, and will be led by
Sheena Henderson of the Samurai
Dragons dojo. Beginners are welcome
and previous martial arts training is
not required to take part. The workshop
will focus on introducing participants
to a set of strong, practical self-defense
fundamentals. Henderson Sensei is an
experienced instructor who has studied
karate, as well as a number of traditional
weapons, including the samurai sword.

BSVFD gets truck back
Anonymous donor
ends dispute
TRACEY WOLFE
Editor
BEAN STATION – Thanks to an
anonymous donor, the Bean Station
Volunteer Fire Department has gotten
its 1974 Mack fire truck back.
The fire truck was being held by
Morristown Tire and Performance for
non-payment of a bill incurred when a
potential buyer of the truck reportedly
hired the business to inspect it, and then
allegedly skipped out on the bill.
Morristown Tire and Performance
owner Tim Goins said he would not
o
release the truck until the BSVFD paid
$1,000 for the cost of the inspection
($69) and storage fees related to the
truck having sat in his parking lot.
The BSVFD maintained it was not
responsible for the bill because it
didn’t hire the business to perform the
inspection.
According to BSVFD chief Ron
Wonderly, the department had listed
the truck for sale. Roger Gonzalez, a
potential buyer from Texas, contacted
the BSVFD and told them he was
interested in purchasing the truck, but
wanted to have it inspected prior to its
being driven to Texas.
He reportedly asked the BSVFD
to take the truck to Morristown Tire
and Performance and drop it off so an
inspection could be completed.
According to Morristown Tire and
Performance Manager Joe Everette,
Gonzalez had agreed to pay to have the
truck checked out, but reportedly was
out of contact with the shop for several
weeks. Gonzalez had reportedly gone
out of town and then suffered a bout
of appendicitis, which prevented his
maintaining contact with the shop.
Gonzalez reportedly decided not to
purchase the truck after learning the

cost of taxes to take the truck over the
border into Mexico would be more than
the truck was worth. When he was given
the total bill due Morristown Tire and
Performance, including storage fees,
Gonzalez reportedly disputed the fees
and eventually ceased all communication
with the shop, leaving the dispute to
be handled between the BSVFD and
Morristown Tire and Performance.
Goins allegedly gave the BSVFD until
the end of September to pay $1,000 to
retrieve the truck and said he would
then obtain a mechanic’s lien and sell the
truck at auction if the bill wasn’t paid.
After local news media reported about
the ongoing dispute between the business
and fire department, an anonymous
donor offered to pay the funds required
to get the truck released back into the
custody of the fire department.
Goins reportedly dropped the bill from
$1,000 to $500 for immediate pickup and
the donor presented the fire department
with the funds. The truck was picked up
the same day.
SFMO warns consumers to be wary of
haunted houses that don’t meet requirements
NASHVILLE – Consumers might know them as haunted
houses or haunted mansions. But in Tennessee, they’re
called Special Amusement Buildings – and they have
their own set of regulations. As the Halloween season
gets into full swing, the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s
Office (SFMO) reminds consumers that safety features
at Special Amusement Buildings are in place to help
protect visitors and eliminate real-life scares.
“Special Amusement Buildings have a greater
inherent risk than typical buildings because of
their settings, scenery, low lighting and obstructed
pathways,” said Tennessee Department of Commerce
& Insurance Deputy Commissioner Gary West. “When
visiting a haunted house amusement house, always be
aware of your surroundings and on the lookout for safety
features that can make the difference during a real-life
emergency.”
State regulations define a Special Amusement
Building as the following: A building that is temporary,
permanent or mobile that contains a device or system
that conveys passengers or provides a walkway along,
around or over a course in any direction as a form of
amusement arranged so that the egress path is not
readily apparent due to visual or audio distractions or an
intentionally confounded egress path, or is not readily
available because of the mode of conveyance through
the building or structure.
When visiting a haunted house style amusement
house, always keep these safety guidelines in mind:
• Only attend a haunted house that has an automatic
fire sprinkler system.
• Exit signs must be installed at required exit access
doorways.
• An outdoor venue is typically safer than an indoor
venue.
• Only licensed operators should operate any
pyrotechnical flame effect.
• Haunted houses are created to disorient. Don’t
forget about safety. Always look for the nearest exit and
use it in case of an emergency.
• An emergency voice/alarm communication system,
which can serve as a public-address system, shall be
installed.
Report any violations of these rules or• any dangerous
activity you might see to the State Fire Marshal’s Office
or local code enforcement officials.
Note: The SFMO is involved in the review and
inspection of facilities that have a calculated occupant
load of 300 or more.
Exempt jurisdictions are authorized to adopt and
enforce their own building and fire codes which in
some cases might be more stringent. The following
jurisdictions (cities and counties) are exempt:
Alcoa, Athens, Bartlett, Brentwood, Bristol,
Chattanooga,
Clarksville,
Collierville,
Columbia,
Cookeville, Dyersburg, Franklin, Gallatin, Gatlinburg,
Goodlettsville, Hendersonville, Jackson, Johnson City,

Juliet, Nashville/Davidson County (Oak Hill, Belle Meade,

Branson Farms Haunted
Forest opens October 16
ROBERT TURNER
GT Reporter
WASHBURN – The Branson Farms
Haunted Forest is in the business of
scaring folks and the terror begins
this Friday. Kermit Carpenter, who is
in charge, said Norman and Cheryl
Branson started the haunted forest on
their farm in 1998 just for the kids. It also
gave the people of Washburn something
to do during the Halloween season. The
following year, they decided to charge
a fee and give that money to a family in
need. Nineteen years later they continue
to make the event about goodwill and
community camaraderie.
Cost has always been $3 per person
and every year all the money is donated
to one or more families in need. Modern
Woodmen of America has already
submitted a $1,000 check. This year’s
recipient is Washburn resident Pat
Sellers.
Carpenter said the haunted forest
never really has a theme but this year
it is moving more towards the classics.
He said attendees can expect Jason from
Friday the 13th, Michael Myers from the
Halloween movies, Freddy Krueger,
chainsaws and plenty of unexpected
creatures. He added there is no telling
what is in the Tunnel of Doom this year
as well as what can be found under the
bridges, in the barns, along the trails
and in the graveyard. Electric costs
and other essentials are paid for by the
Bransons.
Those participating in the haunted
forest include folks from all walks of
life such as teachers, pastors, police
officers, doctors, lawyers and, of course,
kids. Carpenter said the kids really
Courtesy photo
enjoy scaring those people that they
know. They also like to make changes
and might even mix things up from night
to night. Cheryl leads a “Kids Only”
group for younger attendees that might
not want to be frightened like the older
people.
Each night before the start, pastors
gather to lead prayer and actually hold
an old fashioned church service in the
middle of the field.
The Branson Farm Haunted Forest
was also recently voted by the viewers of
WBIR as the third scariest event around.
According to Carpenter, the haunted
forest has been certified by the TN Dept.
of Labor as a non-profit organization.
Carpenter said that it the only type event
that is run completely by volunteers and
100 percent of the money is given away.
Reasonably
priced
concessions
are available and include hot dogs,
nachos, drinks, coffee, hot chocolate
and homemade chili. All money from
sales goes to the Washburn High School
cheerleaders.
The
haunted
forest
will
be
open October 16, 17, 23 and 24 at
7:30 p.m. Location is 3208 Dutch
Valley Rd., Washburn. For more

“I have had a long-time personal focus on
making traditional techniques effective
for female practitioners of the martial
arts,” said Henderson. “We can practice
effective self-defense by understanding
and using our natural strengths and
awareness.”
A $5 donation is suggested for all
participants. Donations will go to the
Susan G. Komen Knoxville Foundation.
Everyone is asked to wear clothing they
can move around comfortably in such as
a t-shirt and shorts or sweats.
All participants will receive a pink
wrist band in recognition of their
contribution.
“Karate for the Cure” will take place at
Broadway Family Karate, 2902 Tazewell

MORRISTOWN – CEASE is holding
a free Overcomer Obstacle Challenge
group workout Saturday, October 17, at 8
a.m., at Frank Lorino Park in Morristown.
This event is used to demonstrate the
challenges that survivors of domestic
violence face and to support the
opportunities that CEASE provides
victims in the community.
The workout is in preparation for
the actual challenge that will be held
April 2, 2016. There will be a free onehour group workout, a preview of the
obstacles that will be in the course
in April and instruction on how to
prepare and train so participants can be
successful in the challenge. There will
be an early bird registration available
for the event. To register, go to http://
overcomerobstaclechallenge.sitey.me/
CEASE is a leading group in the area
to help victims of domestic violence
and sexual assault. According to
CEASE, there are traits that a person
can recognize in a potential dangerous
relationship. Psychological abuse can
be in the forms of destructive or verbal
criticism, pressure tactics, disrespect,
emotional
withholding,
economic
control, isolation and harassment.
If someone is being abused, there
are safety tips that they need to be
aware of. First, keep a hotline phone
number close by. The number for
CEASE is (423) 581-2220 or toll free at
(800) 303-2220. Identify which doors,
windows or stairwells would be best
to escape should a confrontation start
and identify a neighbor that can be
trusted with the situation so they could
call the authorities should they hear a
disturbance. Also, come up with a code
word for children, family members,
friends and neighbors to let them
know of the need for help. Finally, if the
situation is very dangerous, take steps
for self protection and call the police as
soon as possible.
If there is no hope the situation
will improve and leaving is then the
option, a bag containing clothing and
essentials can be prepared and left at
a trusted relative’s or friend’s home in
order to speed up the process. Also it
is recommended to keep a journal of all
of the abusive incidents to give to law
enforcement or the courts if needed.
In terms of sexual assault, CEASE
helps victims from a range of related
crimes. Rape is the most commonly
heard but there is also acquaintance
rape and marital rape. CEASE also
assists victims of child sexual abuse and
sexual harassment.
What can individuals do if they are
sexually assaulted? First know that the
act was not their fault. They should go
to a safe place and call someone they
trust for help. Also the CEASE crisis
phone line is available 24 hours a day
by calling (423) 581-2200 or toll free at
(800) 303-2220. Report the incident to
law enforcement as soon as possible and
do not change anything about where the
incident took place. Victims should not
shower, bathe or comb their hair as this
could destroy important evidence that
authorities will need to prosecute the
offender. Also, seek medical attention
at a hospital as emergency rooms are
equipped to perform evidence gathering
exams. There is a victim’s assistance
fund that is set up in Tennessee to help
victims pay for medical costs related to
a sexual attack, loss and suffering.
To qualify, the crime must be
reported within the first 48 hours of
the incident, victims should cooperate
with the investigation and prosecution
and submit a written claim within one
year of the assault. CEASE also offers
support groups for victims of domestic
and sexual assault. The groups meet
regularly in Hamblen and Claiborne
counties. CEASE also operates 24-houra-day shelters in Morristown and
Tazewell.

GT Correspondent
BLOUNTVILLE – A heavy rainfall,
which started 30 minutes before game
time, was followed by lightening, which
delayed the start of Grainger High
School’s game at Sullivan Central for a
half hour.
The Grizzlies, who won the opening
toss, deferred their option to the second
half and kicked off to the Cougars.
A short kick-off gave Central good
field position and the Cougars steadily
moved the ball down field. Although
the Grainger defense made some good
plays, they were unable to get the South
offense off the field on a fourth-and-10.
After gaining a first down, the Cougars
went to the air on a second-and-nine play
and a pass interference call was made on
the Grizzlies in the end zone. With a first
and goal at the eight, the Cougars, who
took more than six and a half minutes
off the clock, scored a touchdown and
kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead.
After the ensuing kick was downed at
the 35-yard line, the Grizzlies used the
running of Aaron Reece and quarterback
Jake Phillips to move the ball into Cougar
territory. Facing a fourth-and-six at the
Central 30, Zac Courter hit Cain Lopez
for a 17 yard pass and a first down at the
13 yard line. An offside call against the
Cougars and an 8-yard run by Courter
got the Grizzlies on the scoreboard on
the first play of the second quarter. A
two-point conversion run by Courter
gave Grainger an 8-7 lead with 11:30
remaining in the half.
On their next possession Central once
again moved the ball downfield and
appeared to face a fourth and one from
the Grainger 6-yard line. However, after
an offside call the officials placed the ball
a half-yard short of the first down. After
a time out by Central and a conference
between the Cougar coaching staff and
the officials, the ball was then placed at
the 1-yard line for a first-and-goal. Even
though this was the correct resolution of
the infraction, further questionable calls
from the officiating crew would be seen
on other occasions later in the game. A
1-yard run and a PAT kick gave Central
a 14-8 lead which became the halftime
score as Grainger had a 3-and-out on its
second possession of the first half.

Zac Courter led the Grizzlies to a 24-14
victory over Sullivan Central. In addition
to playing defense and punting, Courter
gained 105 yards rushing and scored
three touchdowns and a pair of two point
conversions. first half,” said Grainger Coach Chad
Tate. “They (Sullivan Central) did a good
job. I tip my hat to them. They had a
game play to keep the ball away from us
and it worked in the first half.”
A 10-yard return of the second
half kick-off by Jacob Vaughn put the
Grizzly offense at the Grainger 45yard line. However, on the first play
from scrimmage, a Grizzly fumble
was recovered by the Cougars at the
Grainger 44-yard line. After an 11-yard
run moved the chains followed by a
3-yard run on the following play, the
Grizzly defense came alive with a roar.
A sack by Jim Branch and Josh Langley
moved the ball back 12 yards and was
followed by a sack by Hayden Luttrell for
a loss of another six yards. That led to
a Central punt that was downed at the
Grainger 15-yard line.
With the offensive line opening holes,
two 5-yard gains by Reece a 14-yard run
by Phillips, a 10-yard run by Vaughn
and an 11-yard run by Mason Mabry
gave Grainger a first down at the Cougar
40-yard line. A fumble on the next play
allowed Central to dodge the bullet and
take possession at their own 42-yard
line.
After the Cougars moved the chains
once, the Grainger defense dug in and
turned the ball over on downs. After a
46-yard run by Courter moved the ball
to the Central 23-yard line the Grizzlies
lost four yards on the next play and
then 10 yards on a bad snap. On the next
play a Grainger lateral was mishandled
and instead of being ruled a fumble, it
was called an incomplete pass with the
Grizzlies maintaining possession. Facing
a fourth-and-24, Courter’s punt was
downed at the Central 2-yard line as the
game moved into the fourth quarter.
After gaining three yards on two
running plays, the Cougars attempted
a sweep but Lopez tackled the runner
in the end zone for a safety that cut
the Grainger deficit to 14-10 with 10:44
remaining in the game.
On the free kick that followed, Courter
had an aggressive run back, putting
the ball at the Central 23. After an
offensive pass interference call on the
next play, another Grainger fumble was
recovered by Central at the Cougar 29.
Once again the Grizzly defense dug in
as Edde recorded a tackle for a minus
3-yards before a false start and a holding
penalty forced the Cougars to throw two
incomplete passes. On a fourth-and-eight
pass, Bryce McBee intercepted to give
the Grizzlies the ball at the 46-yard line
with 8:47 remaining in the game.
With the offensive line controlling the
line of scrimmage, it took just over two
minutes for the Grizzlies to storm into the
lead. A 4-yard run by Jacob Vaughn was
followed by runs of 12 and 32 yards from
Aaron Reece to put the ball at the Central
9-yard line. The Grainger power package,
which features a direct snap to Courter,
moved the ball to Courter for five yards
and then for four yards and a touchdown.
Courter then converted the two-point
running conversion for an 18-14 lead with
6:40 remaining in the game.

Cougars possession at their own 44-yard
line. With Central looking to pass, the
Grizzlies applied pressure which resulted
in a sack by Edde to set up a third-and-8
yards to go for a first down. Once again,
in a critical situation, the flag fluttered
and a defensive holding call was made
against the Grizzlies, however, it didn’t
make a difference. After a 1-yard gain on
first down and two incomplete passes,
a fourth down pass was intercepted by
McBee giving the Grizzlies the ball at
their own 46-yard line with just over four
minutes remaining in the game. Central’s
defense got a steady dose of the Grainger
power package as Courter carried the
ball seven straight times, including a
26-yard jaunt to the Cougar 7-yard line.
Three plays later, Courter, who totaled
105 rushing yards in the game, plunged
over the goal line for touchdown. The
drive consumed all but 17 seconds of the
remaining time as the Grizzlies posted
the 24-14 victory.
“We’ve got 14 seniors,” said Tate.
“These guys grew up in this game. We had
some sloppy conditions out there and
some questionable calls go against us but
our guys never gave up. I’m most proud
of the fight in the team. We were behind
the eight-ball all night. We’re two and two
in the conference with three games to
go and we control our own destiny and
that’s all you can ask for. Next week we go
against a very good Seymour team and
that’s the first of three games we need to
win.”
The game against Seymour is the
Grainger homecoming game. The Eagles,
who defeated Scott 46-20 Friday, are 3-1
in the conference and 5-2 overall. Kick-off
is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Volunteers needed for People Loving
People Thanksgiving Dinner
ROGERSVILLE – The 12th Annual
People Loving People Thanksgiving
Dinner planning is underway and
volunteers are needed.
The free Thanksgiving Dinner will be
served at the Joseph Rogers Primary
School in Rogersville, Thanksgiving Day,
Thursday, November 26.
In 2014 more than 3,000 meals
consisting of more than two tons of food
were served or delivered throughout
the upper East Tennessee area. People
Loving People is a nonprofit organization
made up of an all-volunteer staff that
prepare, serve and deliver meals; clean
and decorate the cafeteria; and clean up
after the event.
Event organizer Dr. Blaine Jones said
he is very excited for this, the twelfth
year of the meal, to be served. “Our free
Thanksgiving Dinner has continued to
grow and succeed over the years. This
has turned out to be one of the biggest
blessings any of our volunteers have ever
participated in. God truly has his hand
on this wonderful day and he blesses
those who are in need and he blesses
those who serve,” he said.
The dinner is a freshly prepared, made

Investigation
ongoing
in armed
robbery case
DANI DYER
HT Correspondent
Heritage Days ROGERSVILLE - Check First Cash Advance,
located at 4016 Hwy 66 S in Rogersville, was
robbed at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon, Oct 6.
Rogersville Detective Joey Maddox said that
employees told him a white male subject came
into the business shortly before 3 p.m. Tuesday,
robbed them at gunpoint, then fled on foot.
“A white male subject came into the office
from the Taco Bell side of the building,” Maddox
said. “He was wearing a brown coat zipped up,
a beige cap, sunglasses, a black bandana and
(had) his left hand over his face. “He had a
black gun and said, ‘Give me your money or I
will shoot.’ He pointed the gun toward one of the
employees and said, ‘Don’t push any buttons,’”
Maddox said.
“She gave him what money was in her drawer
while the two employees were saying, ‘Please
don’t shoot,’” Maddox said. “He then left the
business.”
Area law enforcement officers from
Rogersville Police Department, Hawkins
County Sheriff’s Office, Knox County Sheriff’s
Department’s Aviation Unit and the Tennessee
Highway Patrol combed the area searching for
the suspect. In addition, the District Attorney
General’s Office is involved in the investigation
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has
been contacted.
Anyone who has any information about
this crime is asked to contact the RPD at
(423) 272-7555.

Heritage Days got off to a soggy start Friday with heavy rain leaving cruise-in attendees high and dry. Mild temperatures and

Rogersville native co-hosting TV show
ROGERSVILLE – Whitney
Allen Carr is embarking on a
new career. The Rogersville
native began co-hosting a
new TV show called “Good
Day Tri-Cities,” Monday,
October 12, along with
Morgan King.
The
show
will
air
weekdays at 9 a.m. on WKPT-TV ABC/19
and again at 7 pm on the COZI channel.
The show features the best businesses,
restaurants, music events and more in
the Tri-Cities and quad-state area.
Carr said she has never worked in
television before and is very excited for
the new opportunity.
Carr grew up in Rogersville and is a
graduate of Cherokee High School. Her
parents, Wayne and Peggy Allen still
reside in Rogersville, along with five of
her seven brothers and sisters and other
relatives.
She is a 2013 graduate of Leadership
Hawkins County.
Carr’s first job was working at the old
K-Mart on Hwy. 66, in Rogersville, while
she attended college. She then worked at
Short Mountain Silica with Otis Munsey
and
Hawkins
County
Trustee, Nancy Davis. She
was married in 1993 and
moved to Gray. Carr has
worked in the marketing
and public relations field
in Kingsport for the last 10
years.
She said, “When the
opportunity for this new TV show came
up, I was honored that they asked me to
host. They said my personality would
be perfect for it and since I was from
this area they felt that people would
connect with me well. I already know all
the folks in my hometown of Rogersville
are very excited for me! I’ve received so
many emails, messages and Facebook
comments congratulating me. It’s a
dream come true.”
Carr said she and King have been out
in the community hosting events, taping
segments and she said, “I’m having the
time of my life!” Carr said she likes to joke
with the well-known King, telling him he
is the “old face” and she is the “new face.”
She said she hopes to showcase
Hawkins County businesses, events and
people in future segments on the show.

We Are Volunteer
mural dedicated BILL JONES
HT Correspondent
CHURCH HILL – Even drizzle and
threatening skies couldn’t dampen the
spirits of those who turned out Saturday
afternoon, Oct 10, for the dedication of
the new “We Are Volunteer” mural.
The more-than-20-feet-tall mural was
painted on the First Utility District water
tank off Highway 11W during August and
September by artist Rusty Everhart,
with help from his friend Sara Wood. It
depicts the falcon mascot of Volunteer
High School sheltering beneath its widespread wings the panther mascot of
Church Hill Middle School and the eagle
mascot of Surgoinsville Middle School.
The two middle schools (both
of which were high schools before
consolidation created Volunteer and
Cherokee High Schools in 1980) now
send their graduates to VHS.
Hawkins County Board of Education
Chairman Chris Christian, who is a
Church Hill-area resident, said earlier
this year that he proposed painting
of the We Are Volunteer mural as
a way of boosting unity among the
residents of the eastern Hawkins County
communities served by Volunteer High
School.
In addition to Hawkins County
school officials, county commissioners,
students and parents, the Volunteer
High School Falcon Band and the VHS
cheerleaders were on hand Saturday

Church Hill man faces drug
charges following traffic stop
BILL JONES
HT Correspondent
CHURCH HILL – A passenger in a
vehicle that allegedly failed to stop for
a red light wound up being charged
with multiple offenses, including drug
possession, by a Church Hill Public
Safety Officer.
“On Oct. 5, I conducted a traffic stop
on a vehicle at US Highway 11W and Silver
Lake for failing to stop at a red light,”
Officer Ethan Mays wrote in a press
release. “While speaking with the driver,
it was determined his driver’s license
was suspended, and the passenger
identified as Jack Dillion Dykes, 23, of
781 Grassy Creek Road, Church Hill, also
did not have a valid driver’s license.
“I informed the driver that he would
need to call someone to come get them
and he would be receiving several traffic
citations. During this time, I noticed Mr.
Dykes to be exhibiting signs of being
under the influence of a stimulant. I
asked the driver if he would mind me
searching his vehicle and he consented.
I located a backpack in the passenger
seat floorboard, and asked whom it
belonged to. The driver stated it was Mr.
Dykes’ gym bag.
“I asked Mr. Dykes if there was anything
illegal in it, and he advised me there
might be a small amount of marijuana in
it. Inside the backpack I located a small

the remainder of the

tell me about the other narcotics and
paraphernalia because he did not want
to go to jail. He was exhibiting signs
of recent methamphetamine use, and
possibly Adderall use as well, which is
also an amphetamine stimulant.
“Mr. Dykes was placed under arrest
for possession of Schedule II, simple

The (alleged) narcotics were packaged

VHS NJROTC cadet
wins national award
BILL JONES
HT Correspondent
CHURCH HILL – A Volunteer High
School Rifle Team member has won
a national honor for her air-rifle
marksmanship.
“Volunteer High School junior and
Rifle Team Captain Kimberly Harr
recently competed with her teammates
in the National Junior Olympics and
CMP National Air Rifle Championships
in Anniston, Ala,” USN Chief Petty Officer
(retired) Norman Greear, who is a VHS
NJROTC instructor, wrote in a news
release.
“Kimberly has been a top contender
in air rifle, from day one her freshman
year. For many it takes a full four years
of sustained superior performance to
accumulate enough points to qualify for
the Junior Distinguish Shooter badge.
Each year more than 10,000 cadets
compete to qualify for the national
competition and earn points towards
the badge with only a few hundred
actually getting an invitation to attend
the national competition, and only the
top shooters receiving points toward
the badge.”
Chief Greear noted that most
distinguished shooters receive the
Junior Distinguished Badge in their
senior year. “Kimberly did it at the end
of her sophomore year, exemplifying
her exceptional talent and hard work
to consistently compete at the highest
level,” Chief Greear wrote.
The Junior Distinguished Badge
is awarded to school-age junior
three-position air rifle shooters who
distinguish themselves by attaining a
series of high rankings in designated
major junior air rifle championships,
according to the chief.

VHS Rifle Team Captain Kimberly Harr
recently earned the Junior Distinguished
Shooter
Badge
for
her
air-rifle
marksmanship.
“To receive the badge, junior shooters
must earn 30 Excellence in Competition
(EIC) points in designated competitions
that are at least at the State level, with at
least 10 of the 30 points being earned in
a national championship competition,”
he noted. “The Junior Distinguished
Badge is a serialized gold-filled badge
and is engraved with the name and
serial number of each awarded. “This was the first year in Volunteer’s
NJROTC history that the rifle team had
the privilege to compete at such a high
level of competition. The team finished
15th in the nation, which was a great
accomplishment, but the highlight of
the competition was Kimberly receiving
the coveted Junior Distinguished

Jackson to run for Tennessee
House of Representatives
ROGERSVILLE – Cynthia Bundren
Jackson (R) Rogersville has announced
she will be a candidate for the next
Celection- whether it be special called
tor regular- for the Office of State
Representative for the 9th Legislative
District currently held by Representative
Mike Harrison.
Representative
Harrison
has
announced that he has accepted the
position of Executive Director of the
County Mayor’s Association and that
sometime in the future he will be
resigning from the House as the state
representative for Hancock and Hawkins
Counties.
The
timing
of
Representative
Harrison’s resignation will determine
whether a special election is called for by
the Governor or whether the position is
filled by appointment by a majority vote
of the members of the Hawkins County
Commission.
“Although I have been hearing rumors
for some time now that Representative
Harrison was being considered for the
position, that offer and acceptance by
him did not come until this week and
was followed by his announcement that
he will be resigning from the legislature
sometime soon. I want to thank
Representative Harrison for his service
to our legislative district, as he held a
powerful position in Nashville, and I want
to wish him the best in his new endeavor,”
Jackson said. “After much prayer and
thoughtful deliberation, I have decided
to seek the office.”
Jackson continued, “I ran for the State
Senate in 2012 in the six counties of the 8th
Senatorial District and finished second in
a four-person field of candidates. I lost
to longtime lawmaker Senator Frank
Nicely in a hard-fought and expensive
campaign that lasted almost six months,
but I finished first in Hawkins County
by a large
margin and I
finished first
in Hancock
County- the
two counties
that make up
this House
district.
“I am still
honored that
the
voters
of Hancock
and Hawkins
Cynthia Jackson
C o u n t y
voted to send
me to Nashville three years ago,” said
Jackson. “My hope is that I can run the
same positive, conservative campaign as
last time and earn their trust again.”
A licensed real estate broker and
owner of Main Street Realty for more
than 20 years, Jackson served as
Field Representative for the First
Congressional District and President of
the Hawkins County Republican Women.
Jackson has also served the community
through a variety of civic activities
including: United Way of Hawkins
County, Imagination Library, the theater
group TOPHAT Productions, President
of Rogersville Kiwanis, Fundraising
Chairman for The Boy Scouts of America,
Rogersville/Hawkins County Chamber of
Commerce and the Rogersville Heritage
Association.
Jackson, a member of First Baptist
Church of Rogersville, is a graduate of
Hawkins County public schools and
East Tennessee State University. She
has a daughter, Summer Jackson, who
is a student at East Tennessee State
University, and her parents, Bob and
Nadine (Shaw) Bundren reside and
operate businesses in Rogersville.
One Stop Wireless

residents have had limited wireless
(cellular) communications options.
“We offer multiple pre-paid plans that
use all the leading networks – including
Verizon and AT&T – and don’t require
contracts,” Keister said. “There are no
agreements, no contracts and no credit
checks. There is nothing you have to do
to be approved.”
Keister noted that One Stop Wireless
is able to activate and unlock “practically
any (wireless) phone out there.”
In addition, Keister said, One Stop
Wireless can repair wireless phones.
One Stop Wireless can be reached
by telephone at (423) 293-3585 and is

Hicks announces interest in
State Representative position
ROGERSVILLE – Current Hawkins
County Commissioner and Budget
Chairman Gary Hicks announced Tuesday
that he will seek appointment to complete
Mike Harrison’s term as Tennessee State
Representative for the 9th Legislative
District. Harrison announced earlier this
month that he has accepted the position
of Executive Director of the Association
of County Mayors of Tennessee. Harrison
plans to resign from the legislature in
December, before beginning his new
position in January 2016.
“Representative Harrison has done an
outstanding job representing Hawkins
and Hancock counties in Nashville,”
Hicks said. “His leadership in the
legislature will be missed, but it is of
extreme importance that the people
of the 9th District continue to receive
the same type of capable, professional
representation that we’ve had for many
years. Since the time I was first elected
to the Hawkins County Commission, I’ve
strived to be a leader that citizens can
depend on, and I feel like I can effectively
represent this area in Nashville.”
Hicks was initially elected to
the Hawkins County Commission
representing the 6th district in 2006,
and won re-election in 2010 and 2014.
Since 2010, he has served as the
commission’s budget chairman as well as
the personnel chairman. While a member
of the commission, Hicks has served on
the budget, personnel, airport, beer
board, insurance, audit, and industrial
committees- holding numerous officer
positions on these committees. In
addition, he is a member of the Holston
Business Development Board and a
member of the Local Emergency Planning
Committee.
A
graduate
of
Cherokee
High
School,
Hicks
earned
a B.S. degree
in
computer
science with a
minor in general
business
from
East Tennessee
State University.
He also holds
Gary Hicks
a
Masters
in
Business
Administration from the University of
Tennessee. Hicks has been employed as
the Technology Director at Rogersville
City School for the past five years, and
he previously worked nine years for the
Rural Health Consortium in Rogersville.
“The years that I have spent working in
public education and healthcare, coupled
with my leadership experience serving as
a commissioner, have given me immense
insight into many issues that our local
citizens and government entities face on
a daily basis. It is more important than
ever that the rural counties of Hawkins
and Hancock have a representative who
understands not only the issues, but also
who has hands-on, real-world experience
with the various aspects of funding and
budgeting.” Hicks stated. “I’ve been
privileged to garner numerous types
of experiences while serving our local
area. I feel like these experiences make
me a qualified candidate to complete
Representative Harrison’s term and
represent the people of the 9th District in
a way they deserve.”

in youth ministries and two in family
ministries. Eric and Brianna have four
boys, ranging from one to 11 years of

Heritage Days: A success in any weather
DANI DYER
HT Correspondent
ROGERSVILLE – Rogersville’s annual
Heritage Days festival took place under
a variety of weather conditions, Friday,
Oct. 9, through Sunday, Oct. 11.
Friday’s events began at 3 p.m. Many
of the food vendors began to set up,
while Main Street remained open for
the cruise-in to be held from 6 until
9 p.m. The quilt show opened in the
courthouse and the art show opened
in the community room of the US Bank.
The children’s parade took place on
Main Street at 5:30 p.m. Soon after the
parade, downtown Rogersville was hit
with a heavy downpour accompanied
by strong winds. Antique automobiles,
including trucks and cars, were lined
down side streets for the Cruise-in.
Saturday brought cloudy skies with
misting rain throughout the festival.
Vendors packed the streets of downtown
Rogersville. Various bands took the
main stage at the town square. A civil
war encampment and demonstrations
were located at Crockett Spring Park.
Wood carving demonstrations took
place in the town square. Gristmill
demonstrations took place on Depot
Street. The children’s corner was a hit
with bouncy houses, face-painting and
games. Line dancing and clogging were
performed on the dancing stage, across
from the children’s corner.
The unpleasant weather held out
Sunday, which proved to be a beautiful,
warm day. The streets of Rogersville
were packed with festival attendees.
The antique tractor parade showcased
many John Deere, Massey Ferguson and
other tractors. The main stage held a
Sunday morning church service, as well
as music. Demonstrations of arts and
crafts continued throughout the day.

afternoon to help boost audience spirits
despite threatening skies.
The event began with the presentation
of the colors by the VHS Navy Junior
Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC)
Color Guard, the singing of the national
anthem and an invocation prayer.
The ceremony also featured an early
performance by the VHS Falcon Band and
the VHS cheerleaders before audience
members were invited to enjoy barbecue
sandwiches and chips.
Following the food, the audience heard
remarks by BOE Chairman Christian,
Hawkins County Director of Schools
Steve Starnes; Jeremy Jones of the First
Utility District; artist Rusty Everhart; VHS
Principal Bobby Wines; and students from
VHS and Church Hill and Surgoinsville
Middle Schools.
Everhart told the audience that the We
Are Volunteer mural marked the first time
he had ever painted anything on such a
large scale. He noted that he had worked
as an interim art teacher in the Hawkins
County schools and also had worked as a
substitute teacher.
“When Chris first gave me the job of
coming up with the design (for the mural),
he wanted an image that combined the
Volunteer falcon, the Church Hill Middle
School panther and the Surgoinsville
Middle School eagle in a way that showed
unity,” Everhart said. “It was also meant
to remind both middle schools that they
are working toward the same goal of
graduating from Volunteer.”
Everhart told the audience that his
first thought had been to combine images
of the school mascots in such a way that
they “looked like they were on the same
team.”
He also told the audience that he
wished to thank everyone involved in
the project for their assistance, including
Christian for having the original idea for
a We Are Volunteer mural and the First
Utility District for allowing the project to
go forward on their water tank.
In addition, he said, he wished to
thank his father, brother and Christian
for helping him lay out “grid lines” on the
water tank to make painting the mural
easier.
In addition, VHS physical education
teacher Dennis Anderson, a graduate of
the former Surgoinsville High School, and
Church Hill Police Chief Mark Johnson,
a graduate of the old Church Hill High
School, also spoke to the audience about
their memories of their high school days
and the need for community unity in
support of Volunteer High School.
Anderson recalled that he played
quarterback on the former Surgoinsville
High School’s first football team and
scored the school’s first touchdown.
He has been a member of the faculty at
Volunteer High School since the school
opened in 1980, he said.
Johnson, meanwhile, told the audience
that he played football at the former
Church Hill High School. He reminded the
audience that Church Hill High School
produced a number of athletes who went
on to play college football as well as one
who became a research scientist at the
b
Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
All the speakers ended their remarksp
with the comment “We Are Volunteer.” a
“I am very impressed with everyonea
coming out today,” Christian told the
audience near the end of the ceremony.
“I am honored that you guys would come
out and support the idea that we’ve
B
brought forth (the mural).”
Christian then invited everyone whoH
had spoken to take part in a ribbon-O
cutting ceremony at the base of the Wea
Are Volunteer mural. The VHS bandU
played several selections following theC

THANKSGIVING from HT1
from scratch, traditional Thanksgiving
Day dinner – turkey, ham, vegetables,
rolls, desserts and all the other
essentials. The Sullivan Baptist Disaster
Relief Kitchen and Crew will prepare the
meal again this year under the watchful
eye of Chef Russ Williamson.
“We have outgrown the kitchen
facilities at the school. The SBDR team
volunteered to help us out and honestly
it would have been next to impossible to
prepare that much food without them the
past few years,” Jones said.
Volunteers are needed to work in all
areas of the event and anyone wishing
to volunteer can come to one of the
organizational meetings or call Cary
Lewis Barton at (423) 345-3743. The
first organizational meeting has been
scheduled for Thursday, October 22. All
meetings will start at 6 p.m. and will be
held at the Wellmont Hawkins County
Memorial Hospital Cafeteria. Other
meetings are tentatively planned for
Thursday, November 5; and Thursday,
November 19, if needed. Meeting updates
can be found on the Four Square, Inc.
website and Facebook page.
“We specifically need volunteers at
the end of the day to help us clean the
kitchen and cafeteria area. We would
greatly welcome a church or civic group
stepping up and taking this chore over
for us. We will need a lot of folks to help
deliver the meals; serve in the dining hall
and numerous other jobs. We will put you
to work and trust me, you will be blessed.
Last year we utilized well over 400 people
in various jobs and we will need them
again if not more this year,” Jones said.
Another opportunity to help out in
this event is by preparing desserts to be
served with the meals. Also, cornbread,
biscuits and white bread which are a
few days old are needed for the dressing
recipe.
“Anyone who would like to help in
this area is asked to bring their items
to Joseph Rogers school Wednesday,
November 25,” Jones added. “Last year
we were somewhat short on the desserts
and the breads for our dressing. We
would love to hear from a Church or Civic
group that would like to pitch in and help
with this as well.”
The dinner relies solely on contributions
from individuals, families, businesses,
companies and any other source to fund
the event. “We have consistently fed
more people over the years and with the
economy and unemployment as it is, we
anticipate feeding as many, if not more
this year. A big concern again this year
is how the cost of food has continued
to increase in price. We need anyone
and everyone to step forward and make
a contribution to help us prepare for
our 2015 dinner as soon as possible,”
Jones stated. Donations may be sent
to Four Square, Inc., c/o People Loving
People Thanksgiving Dinner, P.O. Box
35, Rogersville, TN 37857. All donations
are used strictly to purchase the food for
the dinner. Four Square, Inc. is a 501c3
non profit organization and receipt for
donations can be made if requested.
The dinner will be served to anyone
who needs it. Guests are asked to come
to the Joseph Rogers Primary School
Cafeteria to be served and pampered
between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.,
Thanksgiving Day.
“We want everyone who needs a meal
or needs some company to join us on
Thanksgiving Day. No one needs to be
alone or not have a meal on this special
holiday. We will of course be delivering
meals to those who cannot come to the
meal and we can arrange transportation
to and from the meal for those who
need that. God has truly blessed our
organization and this Thanksgiving
Dinner is to be a blessing to all who need
it and all who work to make it happen. We
give God all the glory for this wonderful
day,” Jones went on to say.
For those interested in attending
the meal, receiving a delivered meal or
arranging transportation to the meal,
they can call (423) 293-0423 (this line
will not be active until Monday, October
19) and leave a detailed message. Meals
have been delivered throughout upper
East Tennessee and are not limited to
Hawkins County. Plans are to distribute
flyers throughout all Hawkins County
schools so children and family can sign
up through school.
Other
traditional
Thanksgiving
activities will be planned for the day
with a big screen TV for football games;
Christmas carolers (volunteers are
needed in this area as well); children’s
activities and the like. Everyone is asked
to plan to attend or volunteer to work
during this special day as it “will indeed
be a day to give Thanks,” according to
Dr. Jones. For more information visit

Cadet of the Quarter honors.
“She was hand-picked from a pool of
highly qualified cadets for the Battalion
Supply Officer position. In this capacity,
she is directly responsible for all
cadet uniforms and supplies valued at
approximately $105,000. She also keeps
academic records and reports, leads,
guides and directs up to 200 cadets each
academic semester.
“In May 2014, Cadet Bledsoe was
awarded the Military Order of the Purple
Heart JROTC Medal for her outstanding
unit service and demonstrated leadership
ability. To be eligible for this prestigious
award the cadet must: (a) have a positive
attitude toward NJROTC and a love of their
country, (b) hold a current leadership
position in the cadet corps, (c) be active
in school and community affairs, (d)
attain a letter grade of “B” or better in all
subjects for the previous semester and
(e) not have been a previous recipient of
this award. “Cadet Bledsoe served as the NJROTC
Area Nine East Cadet Cadre Instructor
training more than 100 selected NJROTC
cadets for leadership roles in their
respective units, enhancing their basic
attitudes, knowledge and skills required
to practice the art of leadership. Cadet
Bledsoe was instrumental in building
a high degree of personal honor, selfreliance and confidence in cadets.
“When school started back (in August),
Cadet Bledsoe fitted over 70 cadets with
uniforms by the second week of classes,
alleviating wasted time and proceeding
on to uniform inspections for new cadets.
“Cadet Bledsoe’s military uniform
appearance is above reproach and she
exemplifies the Navy’s core values of
Honor, Courage and Commitment. She is
committed to serving in the United States
Navy and I do not hesitate in giving my
strongest personal recommendation for
selection to the NROTC college program
of her choice.”
CADETS from HT2
better understand his fellow cadets. The
positive impact of his investment of time
and energy throughout the summer is
already being felt.”
Tayler Bledsoe
“Cadet Lieutenant Commander Tayler
Bledsoe is an active member of Cherokee
High School Naval Junior Reserve
Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) unit,
a nine year running ‘Distinguished
Unit with Academic Honors’,” USN
Chief Warrant Officer (retired) Clyde
Shumate, Cherokee’s senior naval science
