expanded the history to early education the ministers provided. Gregg’s scripts for the “Whispers from the Grave” activity detailed lives of those who began the church. Hughes and the Greene County Genealogical Society received an Award of Distinction for the three-volume series: “Vol. I: Civil War Soldiers of Greene County,” “Vol. II: Faces of the Civil War,” and “Vol. III: Stories from the Civil War.” The series features accounts from official records, diaries, journals, family letters, pension files, personal interviews and articles from “The Civil War Veteran” magazine, providing a resource for research and historic preservation. The ETHS Community History Award presented to Greeneville Greene County History Museum celebrated restoration of the Earl W. Fletcher Jr. Memorial Veterans Gallery. The gallery highlights stories of Greene County veterans and encourages visitors to reflect on the patriotism of local soldiers from eras spanning the Battle of Kings Mountain to modern deployments in the Middle East. ETHS’s Award of Excellence for Lifetime Achievement in Living History Interpretation, presented in 2018 to Ricker, celebrated his acclaim as a master craftsman of both pioneer and Cherokee items, storyteller, teacher and historian. Ricker’s historical interpretations bridge three centuries, bringing forth stories, customs, crafts, history and wife of life of the Cherokee and pioneer settlers, ETHS officials said.

More Monuments Dedicated At Veterans Memorial Park BY SARAH R. GREGORY ASSISTANT EDITOR New monuments honoring Greene County soldiers have been placed at Veterans Memorial Park in the last year, continuing the Forest Street site’s transition from the little-used Forest Park to a place for solemn, patriotic reflection. As 2019 begins, the park’s third phase of development continues, led by the Veterans Memorial Park Committee. Applications for inscriptions and donations to fund the placement of additional stones recognizing veterans from Greeneville and Greene County are being accepted.
WORK IN PHASES Plans for the now-underway third phase of development have been in the works since the beginning stages of the park’s conversion. The conversion has revived the Forest Street site — a once highly popular community park that saw declining use when its pool closed with the opening of a larger swimming spot at Hardin Park. Forest Park, without a pool, was administered by the Roby Fitzgerald Adult Center for use by senior citizens in the early 1980s for a time. However, it ultimately saw little use until efforts to transform it to Veterans Memorial Park began solidifying in 2013. The park was officially rededicated as a public space to pay tribute to all local service members on Veterans Day 2014. At the 2015 Veterans Day service, the site’s centerpiece, the “Memorial Stone,” was unveiled. It bears engravings of a full-color American flag, the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flag, emblems of all branches of the U.S. armed forces and a brass eagle over its inscription. A symbolic seat at the center of the round platform is dedicated to POW and MIA soldiers, intended to remain forever vacant and awaiting their return. In 2016, the Memorial Day service featured the revealing of “War Stones” around the circular monument’s edge. Those memorialize local soldiers killed in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fundraising, planning and work continued throughout 2017, leading to placement in 2018 of the first of two stones bearing more than 200 names each of Greeneville and Greene County service members. Those stones were unveiled in May, ahead of Memorial Day observances, and November, in time for Veterans Day, respectively. This year, the third stone — planned to bear 225 local soldiers’ names — is expected to be engraved and hoisted into place near the park’s flagpole by Memorial Day in May. Additionally, one of East Tennessee’s most decorated World War II veterans was memorialized at the site in 2018. A granite bench recog-
nizing the late E. Kenneth Hood Jr., sponsored by his son, was installed in August beside another dedicated to the American Gold Star Mothers. The first bench, an Eagle Scout project completed in 2013, launched then-Forest Park’s transformation to a space honoring veterans. In November, another granite bench, also placed near the Gold Star Mothers bench and facing the flagpole and stones dedicated to local service members, was placed in memory of Dale E. “Gene” Johnston, a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II, after being sponsored by his son.
NAMES SOUGHT FOR INSCRIPTIONS The public is invited to submit local veterans’ names and proof of service for inclusion on additional stones to be placed around the flagpole at Veterans Memorial Park, which is situated between the monument dedicated to servicemen killed, missing in action and prisoners of war and the lower picnic pavilion. There is a $50 inscription fee per name, but the fee does not fully cover the cost of the stone, engraving and placement. “It’s not even a fraction of it,” Veterans Memorial Park Committee Chairman Grady Barefield said when plans for the third phase were finalized. The committee opted to continue fundraising efforts to defray the cost of construction. “They wanted to keep it at a cost people in Greene County can afford, but the fees will not even cover all of the stones.” Additional contributions for the site’s development are being sought. The committee has published a brochure about the site, which also includes an application for the monuments’ inscriptions. That brochure is available at the Greeneville U.S. Postal Service office on West Summer Street, the Greene County Courthouse Annex and various banks and businesses. The brochure is also available at the counter in the lobby for offices of The Greeneville Sun, 121 W. Summer St. Criteria for inclusion on Veterans Memorial Park monuments are: • veterans living or deceased in active duty or Reserve Component, with proof of honorable discharge, such as a DD Form 214, Honorable Discharge Order or similar document, a photograph of a headstone at a military cemetery or a photograph of a military foot marker issued by the Veterans Administration, • veterans with a connection to Greene County by birth or veterans who have previously been or are presently Greene County residents, and • a $50 inscription fee to have the veteran’s name engraved in gray granite, with the cost waived for those who were prisoners of war or missing in action.

Greene County Fair Officials Hope Moving Up Dates Means Better Attendance BY MANSI BOEGEMANN SUN CONTRIBUTOR The Greene County Fair Board is breaking from tradition and hosting the 70th annual fair July 2228. These dates are two weeks earlier than last year, which the event’s board of directors believes will solve a problem that has lingered over a decade. For many years, the fair has taken place during the first week of school, as well as during the Friday football jamboree at Greeneville High School. “The fair has always been in a transition period where it’s diďŹƒcult for students to make it over,â€? said fair board president Rick Clark. “We’re hoping that moving the fair date up to the end of summer vacation will help students

get here.� Belle City Amusements Inc., which will run the midway, first suggested the move when an earlier slot opened up in their schedule. The fair board saw the
opening as an opportunity to involve more students in the fair’s events. “It doesn’t seem like two weeks would be a big dierence, but from the board’s perspective, we
have a lot to do in a very short amount of time,â€? Clark said. The board is still working on the schedule for the week of the fair, but it is anticipated that many events will occur on the traditional days of the week. For instance, the Greene County Fairest of the Fair Pageant will occur on Monday night, with Little Miss Fairest of the Fair following on Tuesday. The Demolition Derby will be hosted on Friday and Saturday night, potentially with another event on Thursday. “A lot of our planning now is just seeing the availability of dierent acts now that the dates are dierent,â€? Clark said. The livestock schedule is also anticipated to remain the same. Dairy shows will
be on Monday and Tuesday, with a chicken show on Wednesday, the beef show on Friday and Saturday and the sheep and goat show on Sunday. “The only big dierence is for the exhibit entries,â€? said Clark. “Nonperishables must be submitted from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 13. Perishables must be submitted at the same time on Saturday, July 20.â€? While the dates of the fair are shifting this year, the location is not. On Feb. 19, 2018, the fair board issued a news release saying it was looking for a location change in the coming years. The fair board is partnering with SVN Interstate Brokers, a commercial real estate brokerage firm, to oversee the relocation. “Part of our agreement
is to continue to stay at the current fairgrounds until the new property is ready,� said Clark. “It will probably take one to two years after buying it to have it ready to host the fair.� As of Feb. 7, the brokerage firm had not communicated any movement since August. There have been no prospective buyers of the fairgrounds property or any plans for a future property. The fair’s relocation could be a fiveto seven-year project, last year’s release said. “We don’t know if it’ll ever actually happen,� said Clark. One of the issues a property change could fix would be lack of parking. During the 2018 fair’s final weekend, parking became so scarce that some fair-goers threatened parking attendants.

Student-Athletes Honored At Best Of Preps Event BY STAFF
Outstanding student-athletes took center stage at The Greeneville Sun’s third annual Best of Preps ceremony Sunday, April 29, 2018. Students from each major sport at the five public high schools in Greene County were rewarded for their accomplishments on and off the field at the event, held at the Annie Hogan Byrd Theatre on the campus of Tusculum College. The event was sponsored Robert’s Furniture, Bedding and Gifts. Nominations were submitted by coaches from each school for a variety of sports. An independent panel of five judges selected the winners based on multiple criteria. The blind judging process did not reveal the student’s name or the school they attend. In addition to winners in each individual boys’ and girls’ sport, six specialty awards were presented. These included Overall Male Student-Athlete of the Year Zane Potter, from North Greene High School, and Overall Female Student-Athlete of the Year Sydni Lollar, from Greeneville High School. Both awards were sponsored by The Greeneville Sun with the winners each earning a $1,000 scholarship. Also receiving special designations were Matthew Fisher, of Greeneville High School, who earned the Community Excellence Award; South Greene High School’s Jake Standridge, who was honored with the Academic Achievement Award; South Greene’s Jessica Macon, who was named the Comeback Player of the Year; and North Greene High School’s Sam Tarlton as the Coach of the Year. Each of those awards was sponsored by Gateway Ford-Lincoln-Nissan. The guest speaker for the event was then-Greeneville Reds Assistant General Manager Kristen Atwell, who in early 2019 was promoted to general manager. Following Atwell’s comments, the spotlight turned to the student-athletes. Greeneville Sun Advertising Director Artie Wehenkel and Sun Sports Editor Sam Bundy, co-emcees, welcomed the award nominees to the stage and announced the winners. The winners in the individual sports categories were: • Baseball, sponsored by the Greeneville Reds: Zane Potter, of North Greene High School • Boys Basketball, sponsored by Andrew Johnson Bank: Jake Standridge, of South Greene High School; • Girls Basketball, sponsored by Legacy Fine Jewelers: Sydni Lollar, of Greeneville High School; • Boys Bowling, sponsored by Greeneville Oil and Petroleum: Dustin Owens, of Greeneville High School; • Girls Bowling: Michaela Eisenhour, of Greeneville High School; • Cheerleading, sponsored by the Greene County Partnership: Jessica Macon, of South Greene High School; • Boys Cross Country, sponsored by Eastman Credit Union: Ryland Edward Jones, of Greeneville High School;

George Clem School’s Legacy, Athletes Celebrated BY EUGENIA ESTES STAFF WRITER The legacy of George Clem School and accomplishments of its student-athletes were celebrated in February during a special event held in conjunction with Greeneville High School basketball games. On Feb. 1, George Clem Commemorative Night was held at the GHS girls and boys basketball games, which included a pre-game reception for the school’s alumni as well as recognition during the ball game. Both the boys and girls teams wore throwback jerseys from the school that served African-American children in Greeneville during the segregation era. Inspiration for the event came to GHS teacher Nathan Hale after his attention was captured by an exhibit honoring the athletics at George Clem School at Greeneville Greene County History Museum. Hale is also an assistant coach for the GHS boys basketball team. With a desire to share this part of local history with students and the community, Hale initiated what became a collaborative effort to make the Commemorative Night a reality. About 30 George Clem alumni attended the event, and many appreciative comments were heard, including from Treva Edmonds, who said it was the first event of its kind to honor the alumni. Lacy Jackson expressed a sentiment shared by many former George Clem students. “This is heartfelt — it is nice,” Jackson said. “It is really touching. It is not often we get the chance to talk about those days. This gives a chance to go back and reminisce.” Linnie Gillespie, who a member of the last graduating of George Clem in 1965, agreed, “This is great. There are so many that attended George Clem that have passed, but it has been good to see a lot of people have come back.” “It is good to see people I have not seen in years,” said Richard Elder, who now lives in Kingsport. Elder, a 1957 graduate of

the school named for a respected principal in its early days, left Greeneville to join the U.S. Army, where he spent much of his career. The event was the result of a collaborative effort that was coordinated by a committee. Member Jeff Taylor said he was asked why he was so passionate about the event. “This is too important,” said Taylor, who is a Greeneville 2nd Ward alderman. “We need to bring attention to the school and its history. The school is so rich in history, and we are a better community because of those who came from it.” The evening began with a reception for the alumni in the library at Hal Henard Elementary School, where George Clem T-shirts were given out along with pompoms and miniature commemorative basketballs. An exhibit about George Clem School and its athletic programs was featured in the commons area just
outside the gymnasium and was visited by both alumni and fans turning out for the GHS ball games. Between the girls and boys games, Clem alumni were recognized. One of them, Don Hamilton, shared details about the school’s athletics. “I want to thank all those who were involved in putting this event together,” he said. “It is an honor.” Those who played girls and boys basketball, football and were cheerleaders for George Clem School were recognized. Alumni gathered near half court to sing the George Clem Alma Mater and lead a cheer. Many warm welcomes and smiles were shared among the alumni during an hour-long reception, and laughter often emanated from the many conversations in the library that quickly filled.

played football for George Clem. James Gudger, another of the former football players, said, “This brings back a lot of memories about George Clem.” Gudger recalled that the teams did not have as many members as ones today and often resources were scarce. “If one of the best players tore his shoulder pad, you might be asked to go behind the bleachers and take yours off for him to use. We were the equipment supplies,” he said with a laugh. The district in which George Clem played was geographically large. Gudger recalled they often played larger schools in places like Johnson City and Kingsport, and they had to travel to Big Stone Gap in Southwest Virginia and down to Alcoa to play. “We were a small school,” Jackson agreed. “But people knew they had played George Clem.” During his presentation between the games, Hamilton explained that one of the things many people ask is the color of the uniforms for the George Clem Wolverines. The GHS girls team wore jerseys of gold and blue, which were the colors of George Clem, he said. The boys team wore black and white jerseys. Hamilton explained that the teams had to use what was available, so some years they wore black and white jerseys rather than

the blue and white ones. When he played basketball, Hamilton said the team was coached by J.J. Jones, who later coached at GHS after the school was integrated. Jones goal each season was for the team to win the district, he
continued. However, if the team only won only one trophy, Jones wanted it to be the one awarded for sportsmanship, Hamilton said. “Sportsmanship to him was more important than winning.”
He noted that the girls basketball team may have been better than the boys when he played because they won a regional tournament, whereas the boys highest success was at the district level. Between the Com-
memorative Night GHS basketball games, Hale, who is also assistant coach for the boys basketball team, was recognized by George Clem Multicultural Alliance President Gene Maddox as the primary person behind the event.
Hale had gone to the George Clem Multicultural Alliance with his idea about celebrating George Clem School’s athletic tradition, which was enthusiastically received. A collaborative community committee was then created, and a number of community resources were tapped over a two-year period to make the event a reality. The committee members included Carla Bewley, Peter Higgins, Beverly Miller, Jeff Taylor, Hale and Hamilton. Hale applied for a grant from the Greeneville City Schools Education Foundation and received it, which provided funds for the jerseys, Taylor explained. Dollie Boyd wrote a grant for the historical exhibit, which was awarded by Humanities Tennessee. Boyd, who is director of the Museums of Tusculum University, researched George Clem School history and gathered the materials for the exhibit. Information boards that were part of the exhibit were designed by her husband, Mike Reed. Forward Air provided the T-shirts for the alumni and GHS cheerleaders, Bewley found support for other expenses and Glory Days provided the spirit items, Taylor said. “Having this event on Feb. 1 is appropriate,” he said. “I am excited that this can be the event to kickoff a community celebration of Black History Month.”

Emotional ‘South Greene 5’ Program Hits Home BY KEN LITTLE STAFF WRITER The heartfelt messages of mothers whose children lost their lives to a drunken driver in a tragic 1993 crash made a lasting impression on a new generation of Greene County high school students. Known as the “South Greene 5,” the five closeknit friends died in a headon crash on July 30, 1993, on U.S. Route 411 in Sevier County. The other driver, who was also killed, was being pursued by police and under the influence of alcohol and drugs. In November 2018, mothers of two of the five teenagers who lost their lives in the crash, along with a victim’s sister, gave moving testimony to the dangers of impaired driving during a program held at South Greene High School. Their words moved many students to tears and to resolve to never get behind the wheel while under the influence. The passage of 25 years didn’t lessen the impact of the stories told by the two mothers and a sister of

told their stories. All three, along with Sheriff Wesley Holt and
other elected officials, implored the students to take the message to heart and never get behind the wheel after drinking or using drugs. The occasion was an art student banner contest called “Celebration of Life” to help remember the victims of the crash. Five finalists and a winner were announced and received certificates of appreciation for their efforts. In addition to Goins, Harvey and Ingram, also present was Cathy Laws, mother of another of the South Greene 5 who lost their lives to the drunken driver in 1993. “It could be any one of you,” an emotional Goins told the students. The memory of the tragedy remains fresh in the minds of many Greene Countians. All of the victims were active students or had recently graduated from South Greene High School.

PROGRAM CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19
Goins, 17-year-old Toushawa Nichole Davis, 17-year-old Christopher Lynn McGee, and 18-yearold Ralph Ricker Jr. Truck driver Danny Craig Greene, 35, of Sevierville, also died at the scene. Greene was being pursued by Sevierville police at the time of the crash and was driving without the headlights on. The Tennessee Highway Patrol said Greene was driving at speeds up to 100 mph when the truck slammed into the car full of teenagers. “This wasn’t an accident,” said Goins, mother of 16-year-old crash victim Natisha L. Goins. Nancy Goins helped organize a local chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving in 1994 and remains president. She told the students Monday she prays a similar tragedy like the one that befell her daughter is not repeated. “Those were the best five best kids you ever seen. They were joking, they were having a good time” on their last weekend together, Goins said. Goins lost her 16-year-old daughter in an instant. The deep sense of loss lasts forever, she told the students. “I couldn’t give her a hug. I could give her a kiss. It’s hard,” she said. “Image being a parent and not being able to kiss your son or daughter goodnight.” Goins told the students she did not want their parents to hear the kind of news she heard on the radio. “My prayers are with you all. Please, please don’t drink and

message to the students. Harvey said her son Kevin was a talented artist. She complimented students in the visual arts classes of Colleen Bowman who participated in the banner
Christopher Lynn McGee
contest. The winning banner, which included the names of the South Greene 5 and the words “Celebration Of Life,” was created by freshman Maci Landers. Bowman said her visual arts classes were told the story of the crash 25 years ago and urged to “think outside the box.” Landers’ work included photos of the teenagers and doves representing each one. “I wanted them to be together, like teamwork to get through it,” Landers said. “I used the doves to represent them. They were in a better place and they found peace.” Landers thought of the parents and siblings of the victims in preparing her banner. “I hope that maybe it makes them feel better, so they get a little recognition (about) what’s happened to them,” Landers said. “I think it’s really important that people really hear their story and it will encourage them to make more smart decisions.” School Principal Lori Wilhoit was a South Greene High School student in 1993 and remembers the shockwave the tragedy sent through the community. “They need to hear the message,” Wilhoit said. Harvey told the students that despite the passage of time, her son and others who lost their lives in 1993 were very similar to them — young, full of hope and looking forward to the future. “They walked the halls you walked. They sat at the tables you sat at. They loved the school,” she said. County Mayor Kevin Morrison read a proclamation by the county commission recognizing
Ralph Ray Ricker Jr.
July 30 as “Celebration of Life” Day. Greeneville Mayor W.T. Daniels told the students that a proclamation issued earlier this year also recognized each July 30 as “Celebration of Life” day in the city. “This is a day that we will never forget,” Daniels said. Sheriff Wesley Holt told the students that while a road patrol deputy earlier in his law enforcement career, he led Greene County five years running in driving under the influence arrests. Holt said drinking and driving figures are down, but numbers of drivers impaired by drug use are on the rise. “It’s your choice if you drink and drive, but you need to think of the consequences,” Holt said. “That vehicle is a deadly weapon when you’re behind (the wheel) in an impaired state.” Holt said that the Greene County Sheriff’s Department, Greeneville Police Department and Tennessee Highway Patrol made a total of 289 arrests for driving under the influence in 2017. “That’s 289 people we got off he road before they hit someone,” he told the South Greene students. “I don’t want to have to make that knock on your parents’ door and tell them you were involved in a fatality.” Ingram recalled her little brother Kevin as a normal teenager. “He was was laughing and joking and in a split second, he was taken,” she said. “They were going on a road trip but they never did arrive.” “Six souls taken because (Greene) chose to drink and drive,” Ingram said.
