The raise would replace the previously proposed salary supplement of $600 for full-time employees and $250 for part-time employees, with all other raises proposed within the budget to be removed from the budget. The motion for the resolution, submitted by Commissioner Elizabeth White and seconded by Commissioner David Collins, passed in a 11-4 vote, with commissioners Darell Stratton, Johnny Baker, Rodney Overbay and Luke Stratton voting against the raise. Commissioners began to discuss the possibility of giving a raise to employees following a request by Sheriff James Harville that they consider giving a percentage raise to employees rather than continuing with the salary supplement. Harville said he felt giving a percentage raise to employees would be beneficial to the county in the future by improving the likelihood of finding employees a few years from now when surrounding counties’ salaries had increased. He said it was already becoming difficult to find employees and said it would likely become even more difficult a few years from now if the county still offered the same salary rate in comparison with higher salaries offered in surrounding counties. One issue discussed among commissioners regarding giving a salary increase in comparison to a salary supplement was that a salary increase could not be rescinded in subsequent years if needed to save money in the budget, whereas a salary supplement could. Resolutions to fix the tax levy, appropriate money for charitable organizations and appropriate money for various funds and departments were tabled until next month, when the proposed budget could be amended to reflect the across-the-board raise. Resolution seeks protection for Christian beliefs TRACEY WOLFE Managing Editor Ready for School Photo by Lisa Cabbage James Stewart, Damien Stewart and Catana Stewart model the new backpacks filled with school supplies they received from Blue Springs Baptist Church for the new school year.

RUTLEDGE – Grainger County Commissioners have voted to approve a resolution to call upon the governor and the Tennessee General Assembly to “do whatever is necessary to protect the freedom of expression rights of traditional Bible believing Christians.” The resolution states that many Christians hold to a literal belief in the Biblical definition of marriage, which is to be between one man and one woman, and asserts the more than 6,000-year history of human civilization has held that marriage is to be between one man and one woman. The resolution cites the United States Supreme Court’s ruling that homosexual marriage is to be “the law of the land” and contends that according to the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, “this is an area of law reserved exclusively to the states.” It asks Governor Bill Haslam, Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives Beth Harwell and Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the Tennessee Senate Ron Ramsey to “institute, create, establish, order and command the laws, regulations and BELIEFS See GT11 Voltage monitors installed on lake TRACEY WOLFE Managing Editor NASHVILLE – Voltage monitors have been installed on Cherokee Reservoir to collect data that investigators said they hope will reveal more details about the cause of lowvoltage electricity that was discovered in the lake. The monitors were installed Friday, August 7, in an attempt to determine the source of the electrical current. A team comprised of the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office, Tennessee Valley Authority and Appalachian Electric Cooperative began examining the issue after receiving four complaints about mild electrical current in the lake, the week of July 22. According to Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance Communications Director Kevin Walters, a two-week window was set for collecting voltage readings to give the team more data about the voltage during an extended period. Walters said voltage will be tracked on a 24/7 basis to determine if there are any fluctuations of the voltage level. “While we haven’t seen any voltage readings so far that might indicate a life-safety hazard, we don’t want to miss any fluctuations above (or below) what we’ve found. The information we gather during this period will help us create a more comprehensive analysis of the situation. We take the safety of Tennesseans seriously, and we want to keep them informed about this situation,” he said. Engineers are hopeful data gathered by the monitors will give them enough information to help them diagnose the source of the electrical current and correct the problem.

After two days of in-service training for the staff, students reported for a half day Wednesday and a full day Thursday. The first full week is this week. “All went well,” said Director of Schools Edwin Jarnagin. “While the school calendar lists August 5 as the official first day of school, it actually occurred much earlier for teachers, principals, administrators and parents,” Jarnagin said. “I am always amazed at the amount of time Grainger County staff and parents put into school preparation during the summer months. This hard work does not go unnoticed,” he said. “As the director, it is exciting and rewarding when all of the time and efforts of all involved culminates to a wonderful first day of school.” He also praised the board of education and its support during the past year when students in both the elementary and high schools showed overall improvement on standardized tests. “The Grainger County Board of Education fully supports the academic progress that has led to successes in all schools. Grainger County School Board members work diligently to ensure students receive a quality education while working with limited funds.” Career center opens in new location MORRISTOWN – The Tennessee Career Center at Talbott is now the Tennessee Career Center at Morristown.

C o a t Washburn students participating e a in Golden Rule Challenge l BARBARA WOMACK GT Correspondent WASHBURN – Students at Washburn School are not only learning the three Rs of readin’, ‘ritn’ and ‘rithmetic, but another set of Rs as well. It is a part of the Governor’s Golden Rule Challenge to inform them how they should treat others. “We have a motto of be ready, respectful and responsible. There are signs and images around the school to show what it is like,” said Washburn Principal Ginny McElhaney. Since classes started last week, McElhaney has been reading the book Golden Rule Challenge. The main character is “Principal Smooches,” McElhaney said. “We are trying to teach them to treat others as they would wish to be treated. m The story has no end,” she said, as evidenced by the last page, which reads “not the end.” I The book is being read to studentse in all the county’s schools and will bew modified for middle school and highT school students, said Director of Schools Edwin Jarnagin. The challenge is to all schools across the state because Tennessee has one of the highest crime rates in the nation, said Tracy Anderson, a communications connector for Gov. Bill Haslam, said in a letter accompanying the book. “Our Governor wants to change that one step at a time. Please encourage all teachers to have the students engaged in some type of activity relating to the book and we also encourage teachers and principals to take pictures and place them on their school website/ district website,” Anderson said.

Grainger County library directors graduate three-year program NASHVILLE – Two Grainger County librarians have graduated from the Tennessee State Library and Archives Public Library Management Institute. Amanda Williams of the Washburn Community Library and Fayrene Miller of the Bean Station Public Library were among 23 graduates of the three-year training program. Program participants spend a week each year in training sessions, learning about library values, library governance, leadership, project and personnel management and strategic partnerships. The program was founded in 1995. “The Public Library Management Institute has served librarians and, by extension, the library visitors they serve well for 20 years,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. “The goal of this program is to help our state’s librarians provide the best possible experience they can to each person who walks through a library’s doors or accesses a library website online. I commend this year’s graduates for their hard work and dedication to improving their craft.” “TSLA is pleased to operate the Public Library Management Institute as part of our ongoing commitment to provide training and support to public librarians throughout Tennessee, particularly those who serve rural and suburban communities,” State Librarian and Archivist Church Sherrill said. “This program highlights some of the best practices in library management and it also provides librarians with networking opportunities that can be beneficial throughout their careers.” RPS first day of school Courtesy photos Pictured (l-r) are: Patti Lowe, Teacher Assistant, Carlie Duck, Ashley Kincer, Teacher, Staci Gray, Supervisor, Levi Gibson, Edwin Jarnagin, Director and Tony Williams, SRO during the first day of school at RPS.

As a result, the dog population is getting out of control. I’m curious to know how many tickets have been given to dog owners that just let their dogs run loose? My guess would be zero. Our county commissioners have been asked many times for funding but they deny it each time. So at this time, first, I would like to ask dog owners to be responsible and keep their dogs out of the road. Second, I would like to ask all of our police departments to enforce the leash law in Tennessee. Last, I would like to ask our county commissioners to fund an animal shelter before our county is hit with another lawsuit.

Deferred Payments WAC Grainger TODAY GT8 August 12, 2015 Sports Grainger, Cherokee and Volunteer to play in Northeastern Conference ELMER SMITH GT Correspondent RUTLEDGE – This year’s realignment of football regions by the Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletics Association (TSSAA) has had a big impact on the football programs at Cherokee, Grainger and Volunteer high schools. Those three teams are joined by Greeneville, Seymour, Sullivan Central, Sullivan East and Sullivan South in the Region One 4-A which has been named the Northeastern Conference. The realignment, based on attendance numbers from the 2014-15 school year, has resulted in both Cherokee and Volunteer dropping down from the 5-A classification, where they were among the smallest schools, to 4-A classification where both schools have the highest enrollment in the newly formed Region One 4-A classification. The reverse is true for both Grainger and Greeneville who were the largest schools in their previous classification and are now at the bottom in attendance in the new classification. Cherokee, with 1160 students, Volunteer, with 1096 students, and Seymour, with 1093 students, have the largest enrollment while Sullivan South, with 899 students, Grainger with 892 students, and Greeneville, with 887 students, have the three smallest enrollments in the region. Since there are 14 schools in Region One and Region Two, it would appear that each of these regions would have seven teams each instead of eight for Region One and six for Region Two. That disparity has a big impact on scheduling as the Northeastern Conference (Region One) must schedule seven region games while Region Two schools schedule only five region games. With a 10 game season, that cuts the total number of non-region games to three for Region One while Region Two schedules five non-region games. With the odd number of games the schools will alternate between three and four home games in a season. The impact for both Cherokee and Volunteer will be very positive as both teams will escape being smaller schools in the previous configuration. For Volunteer that will mean they will no longer be in competition with the likes of DobynsBennett, Science Hill, Tennessee High of Bristol while Cherokee will no longer be playing the likes of Morristown West, Sevier County and Morristown East. “It’s a no-brainer,” said Cherokee Head Coach Mike Sivert. “It’s more favorable for a school of our size. However, we’re still going to be playing a lot of tough football teams.” “It’s a good thing,” said Volunteer Head Coach Barry Jones. “When you’re playing the big schools, it’s generally a losing battle. Now the kids feel they can challenge and compete and that’s a big plus. There will be considerable travel involved but there will be some natural rivalries evolve.” The Grainger Grizzlies will continue to face Greeneville and will once again be playing Seymour, a team that was a regular on the schedule in years past. “As far as the alignment goes we’re just going to play who the TSSAA tells us to play, and we’re going to play well,” said Grainger Head Coach Chad Tate. The 2015 Football Preview will be in next week’s issue of Grainger Today.

Landers was born in New York and moved with her family at the age of one to Colorado, where she spent years perfecting her art. Landers said her art and illustrations are a combination of folk art painting, illustrations and realism. Her art incorporates her love of animals and a multitude of medians. Landers said she creates her artwork by using the Dutch art of scherenschnitte, or paper cutting, as well as watercolor, which adds depth to her artwork and the illustrations of her books. She said her books; Hope Along Hollow, Brushy Bushybottom and Mamsey and Mopkin, are written and illustrated in the Old World Style. According to Landers, while attending an art show, a patron had admired the whimsical artwork on one of her greeting cards which featured a rabbit riding a rooster and suggested to Landers that she adapt her art to create children’s books. Landers said it was that idea, and her love of animals and of antique children’s books, that would become part of the inspiration for her books. Landers said she had once bought an antique bonnet for one of her ducks so that she would have a visual representation for the creation of her characters. She said it was a chance meeting that brought her and her art to the hills of East Tennessee. While attending an art show in Pennsylvania, she was shown photos of Tennessee by a neighboring attendee who recommended that she visit the state. It was on a whim, she said, that she had adjusted her return route home and traveled through Tennessee. Landers said she instantly fell in love with the beauty of the mountains and returned the following year to explore the idea of purchasing property. After being shown several homes, she chose a home in the Joppa community of Grainger County. Landers said, “I looked past its imperfections and saw what it could be. It was a diamond in the rough.” The property, which Landers lovingly named, Ochre Moon Manor, with it’s outbuilding, barn, babbling creek and acres of rolling land, helped to bring “Hop Along Hollow” to life. Landers’ love of animals is apparent in the large Photo by Regina Mitchell Local artist, Jeri Landers find inspiration for her art in everyday surroundings. population of animals, which along with Landers, call the manor home. According to Landers, her pets are not only a source of inspiration but a source of materials for the creative process. Landers says she collects the eggs from the ducks and geese on her farm, which she dyes. Using a dental tool, she etches the eggs to create fragile works of art. Landers said she also began to create three-dimensional versions of her book characters by using the technique of needle felting, about a year ago. Landers said she learned the skill from another artist while attending an art show. Landers said the art form was originally a technique used to create hats and scarves but that she has adapted it to utilize the wool collected from her sheep. Through her needlework, she brings the characters of her storylines to life. Landers said she is currently working on three other books, one of which will feature her garden and its ever-changing furry inhabitants.

Pictured above is evidence from their residence. Couple facing gravel charges BILL JONES HT Correspondent ROGERSVILLE – An Elkins Road couple has been charged in connection with distribution of the illegal drug Alpha-PVP, also known by its street name of “gravel.” Warren Edward Richards, 52, of 274 Elkins Road and Brandi Michelle Edwards, 39, of the same address, have been charged with possession of a schedule I controlled substance with intent to deliver (it) and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a news release issued Monday, Aug. 10, by Sheriff Ronnie Lawson. Rogersville Police Chief Doug Nelson said the Elkins Road case is believed to be connected to the Aug. 6 arrest by his officers of seven out-of-town residents at a Rogersville motel where Alpha-PVP, or gravel, was allegedly found. “On Thursday, Aug. 6, the Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant at the Elkins Road address,” Lawson wrote. “During the search, officers seized approximately two pounds of an off-white rock-like substance believed to be Alpha-PVP and a large quantity of glass pipes used to smoke the drug. “Investigators learned during the investigation that Richards was unlawfully importing the drug from a foreign country. Records at the residence indicate the couple had spent around $18,000 on the drug within the last three days, prior to the execution Warren Richards Brandi Edwards of the search warrant. Investigators also located and seized in excess of $39,000 in cash from the residence.” Alpha-PVP is a synthetic stimulant drug of the cathinone class that was first developed in the 1960s, according to the news release. It is commonly known as “gravel” or “flakka.” In July 2015, the drug was moved to a schedule I controlled substance under the Tennessee Drug Control Act. “Alpha-PVP is known to cause hyperstimulation, paranoia, hallucinations and even death,” Lawson wrote in the news release. “The drug has an average street value in the region of $140 per gram. The total street value of the drug seized by the HCSO Narcotics Unit had a value of approximately $119,420.” As of Monday, Aug. 10, Richards and Edwards were being held in the Hawkins County Jail without bond pending an arraignment in Hawkins County General Sessions Court.

Written comments about the 2015 TN SWAP can be submitted through the website via the following link www.tnswap.com/comments. The comment period is open from Aug. 10 through Sept. 4. The 2015 TN SWAP is a comprehensive, statewide plan for conserving Tennessee’s fish and wildlife and their vital natural habitats for future generations. It is part of a nationwide effort by all 50 states and five U.S. territories to develop conservation action plans and participate in the federally authorized State and Tribal Wildlife Grants (SWG) Program. More than 125 technical experts and conservation partners from 56 different agencies, organizations and academic institutions have contributed to the development of the 2015 SWAP. TWRA invites all BUS from HT1 “It’s a tragic thing,” Bunch said of the driver’s death. “But the other drivers in the (Surgoinsville) area pitched in and picked up as many of the kids from those three routes as possible. “They didn’t get them all, but they got as many as they could.” He noted that the deceased driver’s husband and daughter are expected to return to work after the funeral of their wife and mother. Bunch, who became the transportation supervisor July 1, explained that the Surgoinsville-area driver’s death made an already bad situation worse for the county school system’s transportation department. “We lost seven or eight drivers about two weeks before school started,” Bunch said, noting that those resigning left the school system short drivers for the start of school. In one case, a bus route in the Mt. Carmel area was without a driver before the death of the driver in the Surgoinsville area, according to Bunch. “We have 92 bus routes, with some routes requiring more than one bus,” Bunch said. Those routes serve 18 schools spread all over the county.” Currently, he said, the school system has about 90 bus drivers on staff. “We need five or six drivers right now,” Bunch said. “And we could actually use 10 to cover field trips and everything.” Bunch noted that the driver shortage also means that he will be driving a bus route between the Mooresburg area and Rogersville Middle School daily until the driver situation improves. In addition, Bunch said, a member of his office staff, who formerly drove a bus only in the mornings, now is having to drive both morning and evening routes and that a bus mechanic has been pressed into duty as a bus driver as well. Other drivers are having to drive multiple routes because of the shortage of drivers, according to Bunch. He noted that because of state licensing and training requirements it takes three weeks, or more, to get a driver ready to actually step behind the wheel of a school bus. Drivers also must take and pass a Department of Transportation physical examination. Anyone who is interested in becoming a school bus driver is asked to stop by the the Hawkins County school bus garage at 1722 East Main Street, Rogersville, and file an application. The phone number to call for more information about becoming a school bus driver is (423) 272-7135. TEA from HT1 daughter of Phil and Janie Weems.

Letters to the Editor Thank You Dear Editor, The Mooresburg Community Association (MCA) would like to thank MAZON Foundation for their generous grant funding of $10,000 to offset operating expenses. The MAZON Foundation’s efforts to help strengthen the community are greatly appreciated. Every day the Association, located at 318 McNeil Circle, in Mooresburg, serves as a gathering place for the community. Seniors connect with one another through congregate meals, exercise classes and other community activities. The Meals in the Hills program, the core of MCA’s services since it opened in 2001, has been assisting seniors and disabled residents in Hawkins and nearby counties. In 2014, the MCA, through its network of services delivered 16,776 meals to seniors and disabled neighbors at home. The community center is a vibrant hub of activity and fellowship to isolated neighbors. In 2014, the MCA provided 1,284 in house meals, 118 recreational classes, 89 medical transports, as well as opened an in-house food pantry, which served 674 residents. Those numbers are expected to increase by 15 percent in 2015. Without these core programs, this vulnerable population will face food insecurity issues and possibly sporadic health care. Without the MCA, these services would not exist. A community meeting promoting information about food insecurity-related and community concerns was held in March 2015. The anti-hunger advocacy effort was a part of a larger scope of the MAZON organization’s commitment to end hunger. The results of the Community Survey are available on the MCA’s website, http://mooresburgcommunity.org/community-survey. MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is a national nonprofit organization working to end hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds in the United States and Israel. To learn more about how you can support the MCA’s cause or to have a free speaker for civic, community or church organizational meetings, please contact Lisa Shiveler, www.mooresburg.org, via email at [email protected] or by phone 423327-3337.
