Brain Games champ steps up to serve on senior board

By ALLEN RAU Staff Writer arau@heraldandtribune.com The newest member of the Jonesborough Senior Center Advisory Board brings a unique skill to the existing board. Joe Allison, who was recently nominated to serve on the board, is a two-time member of the State Brain Games Championship team. “Joe Allison is one of our long time members and he is a very active member,” Mary

Sanger, the senior center director, said. “It was felt he would make a great addition … he participates in activities, trips we take, eats lunch here — he’s just a really active member so we thought that he would bring a really good voice to the board.” Allison used to work at the Green Valley Developmental Center as a direct care professional and became involved with the senior center when

it was located at Persimmon Ridge. “At this point it’s a learning process for me,” Allison said. “It’s new territory. There’s a good crew on there and I haven’t really got to talk to all of them but they seem like a good bunch of folks.” While he is active in many activities at the senior center, belonging to the state championship Brain Games team, the Olde Towners, stands out. “We’ve won the state

championship twice already. I always enjoyed trivia, and I went to one of their Brain Games competitions and I got a coffee cup and a ballpoint pen and I thought, ‘Hey, this is a racket and I’ll keep doing this.’” According to Sanger, the advisory board is a group of 10 people that meet once a month to advise the senior center on activities and programs offered.

County celebrates outstanding students for 2018 By MARINA WATERS Staff Writer mwaters@heraldandtribune.com On Monday night, a Washington County School System tradition continued; the highest-achieving students from Daniel Boone and David Crockett High Schools gathered for the district’s celebration to honor those students at the Top 10 banquet. The students, who were selected into the top 10 percent of their graduating class based on their GPA, were invited to attend the banquet held at the Millennium Centre in Johnson City. But this year’s students weren’t just the highest achieving at their school; the group earned a combined 4.4 out of a 4.0 GPA, which is the highest group GPA at a Top 10 banquet in the last 10 years — not to mention that 71 percent of this group of students had never made a grade lower than an “A.” “Being in the top 10 is a huge honor,” Director of Schools Kimber Halliburton told the Herald & Tribune. “It’s really difﬁcult to get to this banquet in that 71 percent of the students here have never made below an A — that’s an incredible accomplishment. They work so hard to make

Sheriff’s office gets go-ahead on camera request By MARINA WATERS Staff Writer mwaters@heraldandtribune.com The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is on its way to possible funding for body and vehicle cameras. WCSO Sheriff Ed Graybeal and WCSO Chief Deputy Leighta Laitinen presented the request to the Washington County Budget Committee at the Wednesday, April 11, meeting for $548,420 for 111 wearable cameras and 80 patrol car dash cameras. Graybeal said that while some officers in Washington County have body cameras, it’s important that his officers are equally equipped from both a safety and legal standpoint. “The court system doesn’t understand that (one officer) has a camera but (another officer) doesn’t have one,” Graybeal said. “If you talk to attorneys who go to court all the time, they’re going to tell you that’s a huge liability.

By ALLEN RAU Staff Writer arau@heraldandtribune.com If you ever get a hankering for good, locally brewed beer and wood-ﬁred pizza, there’s a joint two minutes from downtown Jonesborough that might ease your craving. Devin Rutledge, who recently purchased Depot Street Brewing, has spent many years honing his craft and he and his wife decided to purchase the business to become fully invested. “It wasn’t like an off-the-wall decision; pretty much my entire adult career has been brewing beer,” Rutledge said.

different ingredients. While the beer is definitely worth the visit, Depot Street also offers authentic wood-fired pizza. Shawn and Jennifer Stanley previously ran the Fire in the Hole Pizza food truck, but they are now permanently located at Depot Street. “They do a wood-fired pizza that is, and I’m not just saying this, it’s the best pizza I’ve had around here … I’ve been to Chicago and New York and I’d put that up there,” Rutledge said. “He’s really meticulous, he uses really good ingredients. He does the same thing as our beer and that’s kind of why he set up here. We have similar See “DEPOT” on Page 2A

ed, one of our accreditation standards is everybody has to be uniformed the same. And this is a safety measure that if you don’t go to court on a for $4 million or $5 million dollar lawsuit, this camera saves you money right there.” The request called for 111 wearable Wi-Fi enabled cameras and 80 patrol car retroﬁts with WiFi and GPS enabled dash cameras and Wi-Fi enabled transfer stations. Graybeal also said the equipment could help better ensure the security at local schools. “A lot of schools, their radios don’t always work in some areas of the school, so we want them to have this body camera so everybody knows what went on,” Graybeal said. “It’s a real safety issue for the schools and the schools’ resource ofﬁcers. And I think it would deter a lot of issues having these marked cars in front of the schools and you have a uniformed,

Depot Street changes brewmasters, adds pizza card, he takes craft beer to heart. “We do it in the authentic German fashion. Everything is kind of hands-on,” he said. “We deﬁnitely do the craft, we take that seriously.” Rutledge believes the process of brewing is very much an art. While some beers take a few weeks, some take a few months. “It depends on the beer. From grain to glass anywhere from two weeks to two months,” he said. “We do it the traditional way.” According to Rutledge, the process for brewing different beers is key. For instance, the ingredients of a lager and a pale ale are the same, but the process is different. Some may take longer, and some may have slightly

tainment from Reflections, the vocal group from Daniel Boone High School. President of the Tennessee Farm Bureau Jeff Aiken also shared a few remarks after dinner and before each student was awarded a medal he or she will later wear with cap and gown at graduation. Upon receiving their awards, each student’s career goals and current achievements and involvement in sports and clubs were also mentioned. From robotics and drama club to football and softball, these future dentists, lawyers, pharmacists and educators were showcased for being well-rounded, but above all, dedicated to their studies. “Many of our students, you’ll see, are involved in a lot of extra curricular activities. But this banquet is a way to say, ‘We also recognize the number one thing that you’re here for and that is getting a quality education,’” Halliburton said. “I just think so many times we honor athletes, and that’s important, I don’t want to take away from that, but what we’re really about is your academic education. You’ve got to make sure that you’re honoring that. “The students who have worked hard academically sometimes get left behind. They get left out. And I think that we should do more to honor academic achievement.” The event focused not only on the future and the inevitable change often associated with graduation; it was also about continuing hard work and striving to stay on a path which has set these students on an avenue to success so far in their lives. “Beyond the academics,” Halliburton said, “there are a lot of things that these particular students in the top 10 did right — making good decisions, practicing their faith, staying close to their family, working hard, being kind to one another, helping one another out. I just want to encourage them as they move on to university to continue those same kinds of habits that led them to this place.” The Daniel Boone High School students honored at the banquet included Victoria Barnett, Nashirra Best, Brianna Birchfield, Chadwick Blankenship, Nolan Bledsoe, Mackenzie Boughner, Chloe Buckingham, Kelby Buxton, Josie Carter, Natalie Chandler, Elizabeth Edwards, Dominique Fair, John Good, Kennedi Hambrick, Kaitlyn Harville, Sarah Hayes, Lauren Head, Blake Hicks, Grace Holdway, Deborah Karpeh, Taylor Marsh, Heather McCreary, Mason Mounger, Emily Napier, Greyson Nave, Gunnar Norris, Jacob Pfefferkorn, Josie Roark, Whitney Sams, Noah Shelton, Morgan Snapp, Hope Stidham, Kaytlin Stout and Kaleigh Utterback. The David Crockett High School students honored at the banquet included Kailee Amburgey, Saxton Beals, Tristan Blevins, Emily Bowens, Garrett Bray, Erika Brickey, James Broyles, Taylor Carmack, William Compton, Alexander Conner, Corbin Cowden, Dakota Euscher, Sydney Fox, Caitlyn France, Dray Gentry, Zeb Holland, Kyra Holt, Rebecca Jaynes, Lenzie Jenkins, Sierra Kinley, Makina Lambert, Dakota Lemerond, Casey Luevanos, Rachael Neufield, Kylee Phalen, Breanna Roy, Isabelle Tisor, Chance Trent, Hannah Vaughn, Reagan Vest, Isabel Vallanueva and Mary Whaley.

post-certified full-time police officer sitting there. It works.” Washington County Mayor Dan Eldridge echoed Graybeal’s liability concerns while also adding that consistency in equipping all officers is a needed focus. “He said we, Washington County, are at the point where we need to be consistent and either provide them this for all officers or for no officers,” Eldridge said. “One or the other because it’s getting to be a challenge in court if we aren’t consistent with what we do.” The resolution for the equipment will be considered by the full commission at their next meeting on Monday, April 23, at 6 p.m. in Courtroom 7 at the George Jaynes Justice Center, which is located at 108 W Jackson Blvd #1210, Jonesborough.

While the WCSO got the go ahead from the budget committee, the school system’s request for funds to re-brick the Gray Elementary School building was put on hold for Washington County Department of Education Maintenance Supervisor Phillip Patrick to check for the most cost-efficient option for the project. Patrick said the $300,000 project was included in the five-year capital projects improvement plan, but that a recent in-depth look at the building upped the price to $575,000. Patrick also said the BOE’s facility committee would be meeting to discuss and consider options for the project. The next meeting of the school board’s facilities committee has not yet been scheduled.

It’s estimated that 72% of Americans suffer from digestive distress, such as bloating, gas, nausea, constipation and/ or diarrhea on a regular basis. Found commonly in our modern diet, gluten is often responsible for these types of digestive problems, as well as joint pain, sinus congestion, skin rashes and mood disorders. Gluten is a protein found primarily in wheat, but also in other grains, such as rye, barley and oats, but can be found in other unexpected sources, such as condiments, sauces and dressings. We have an extensive selection of glutenfree foods, such as breads, cereals, pastas, crackers, cookies and pie crusts. Gluten Shield is a synergistic formula with twenty plant-based enzymes, eleven probiotics and a proprietary vegetarian chitosan, all to help improve digestion, immunity and regularity.

Allison believes his knowledge of the center and the people there will benefit the board. “When Mary (Sanger) asked me if I would take it, I thought I’m associated with the center and I’m out there quite a bit so I might have a good idea about what programs and activities are

going on so I might be able to contribute to the program or the agenda.” Allison also believes the opportunities available there offer more than just activities or programs. “There’s a community of people up there that come together and they just help each other out. I’ve never met an unfriendly person up there and as you get older it’s kind of hard to maintain your friendships, especially after you leave work. It’s another place to go to meet people and do activities together.” Among the activities he enjoys at the center are some of the trips the mem-

Drinking a daily cup of tea, green or black, may reduce the risk of dementia among older adults by 50%. And for those with a genetic tendency for Alzheimer’s, regular tea consumption may cut the risk by 86%. In a recent study over a 7-year period, researchers studied the tea-drinking habits of about 1,000 people and tested their cognitive function every 2 years. Those who drank at least 1 cup a day were half as likely to show signs of cognitive decline compared to non-tea drinkers. Compounds in tea have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may help prevent vascular damage and neurodegeneration.

World-famous potter coming to Jonesborough from STAFF REPORTS They say every potter has a list of what they want to make. How to make it, is often the question. The McKinney Center in Jonesborough, Tennessee will be hosting a three-day demo-workshop led by master potter, Bill van Gilder. Some 50-plus techniques will be demonstrated in response to these ‘how-to’ questions; techniques participants will want to use and adjust to fit their own future work. Shortcuts, tips, and tool-use at the wheel will be shared through demo after demo. “Making pots is a puzzle.” Kerry Porche, a local artist and one of van Gilder’s students and close friend, said. “As a potter, we’re always trying to figure out the secret to that puzzle. Whether it’s the right clay, the right design, the right glaze or the right firing techniqueand Bill gives you more pieces to that puzzle. For yourself and for the world out there.” A discussion about glazes will take place during the workshop, as requested. van Gilder’s ^6 oxidation, ^8-9-10 gas, and salt/soda wood-firing slips & glaze recipe sheets will be provided to each participant. Participants are welcome to take photos and are encouraged to bring a notebook. A selection of Bill van Gilder’s hand-tools (van Gilder Clay Tools) and a sampling of his current work are made available for participant purchase. The workshop registration fee is $175.00. The Thursday evening lecture is free and open to the public. You’ll also have the opportunity for the McKinney Center to provide lunch Friday and Saturday for one fee of $20.00. Lunch will consist of assorted sandwiches, wraps, dessert bars, cookies, sweet tea and water. The workshop will be held on May 10-12 at the McKinney Center.

Jonesborough marker honors immigrant trail

re you aware that there will soon be a marker in Jonesborough honoring immigrants? The marker will be placed on the facade of a stone boulder located on the corner of 2nd Avenue and Main Street. The marker was originally placed at this same location. It was recently restored by Gavin Chaffing who was recognized this year for his excellent work in historic preservation by the State of Franklin Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). A rededication ceremony will be held this year. The Immigrant Trail Marker is important in reminding us of the role immigration has played in the history of the United States. This early migration route now travels through the Tennessee towns of Jonesborough, Greeneville and Morristown following the path of U.S. Route 11 E for a distance of about 125 miles. It is often referred to as the Knoxville Road, a segment of the western fork of the Great Valley Road that began near Roanoke, Virginia and extended to Bristol. At Knoxville, the road connected with Avery’s Trace to Nashville. Placement of the restored marker is timely during a period when the subject of immigration has become a political issue. Jonesborough’s Immigrant Trail Marker was originally dedicated in or shortly after 1933. Collections for the marker started in 1930. Repair and replacement of the marker in Tennessee’s oldest town began as a DAR project in September 2014. The repair of the metal plate began as a Science Hill High School class project in September 2017. The economic, social, and political aspects of immigration have caused controversy regarding ethnicity, economic benefits,

jobs for non-immigrants, settlement patterns, impact on social mobility, crime and voting behavior. Immigration today in Washington County, Tennessee is more than historical recollection. As of July 1, 2017 the United State Census Bureau says there are 127,806 people in the county of whom 3.5 per cent were foreign born. This percentage equals 4,473 people. There are likely more than that figure not counted in the census for one reason or another, including those individuals who are undocumented. If you are interested in your own family history, genealogical research facilities and societies are in existence in the county that provide answers to the question “where did I come from?” The Jonesborough Genealogical Society and the Watauga Association of Genealogists, Northeast Tennessee offer assistance to members and persons seeking to trace their roots. The Washington County / Jonesborough Library and Johnson City Public Library have genealogy sections containing helpful volumes of family history and research aids. The Washington County Archives now located in its own building offers records dating to a time before Tennessee was a state. In addition there are web sites and companies offering DNA testing results. Many people are excited when they discover the available accumulation of family histories and their DNA map revealing evidence of their own family’s immigrant past. In absolute numbers, the United State has a larger immigrant population than any other country in the world. Immigration has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of the United States. There were 47 million

immigrants in the United States in 2015 according to the United Nations Population Division, Department of Economic and Social Affairs. This represents 19.1 per cent of the 244 million international migrant population worldwide and 14.4 per cent of the U.S. population. The nation does not lead the world in per percentage of immigrants. Many other countries have higher percentages, for example, Switzerland with a population of 24.9 percent immigrants. No one editorial can pose all the questions or answers concerning the status of the nation’s immigrant policies. Research suggests that immigration to the United States is beneficial to the nation’s economy. With few exceptions, the evidence suggests that immigration on average has positive effects on the current non-immigrant U.S. population. In one segment of the population, the results are mixed. This debate centers around the issue of how numbers of low-skilled immigrants affect their non-immigrant U.S. counterparts. Studies also indicate that immigration either has no impact on the crime rate or that it reduces the crime rate in the United States according to a February 1917 article from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy titled “Are immigrants more likely to commit crimes?” Research further indicates that the United States excels at assimilating first and second generation immigrants relative to many other Western countries. In a time of intense interest in the subject of immigration, a look at the Immigration Trail Marker in Jonesborough after its rededication should help people decide their views on allowing people to continue to arrive in the nation seeking permanent resident status and citizenship.

Overturning regulatory protections for ground and surface waters The “Specimen 6” painting in last year’s Fletcher Exhibit at the Reece Museum showed a Virginia artist’s conception about animals – crayfish and mussels, snails, turtles, darters, salamanders and myriad others – which suffer ongoing pollution in our water bodies and can get killed in vast numbers when catastrophic spill events occur. The frog she portrayed, suffocating in gray sludge, was among the river creatures killed when tons of coal ash from a power plant poured into the Dan River in North Carolina, in 2014. The nation’s worst such spill, at the Tennessee Valley Authority Kingston plant in 2007, demonstrates the coal ash hazard for humans, especially if directly exposed. Resulting from cleanup of that site, there now are “180 new cases of dead or dying coal ash spill workers,” the USA Today Network reported on March 28.

Eye on the Environment By Frances Lamberts Typically stored in wet ponds of which close to half have no liners, hazardous chemicals and carcinogenic substances in the ash can seep into groundwater, threatening drinking-water safety. Nationwide, cancer risk is high for people living near one of more than thousand ash impoundments, and children particularly face danger of developing asthma, learning disabilities, cancer or other serious problems. In 2012, a government study estimated that the damage to fish and wildlife, at just 21 ash-disposal sites, came at a cost of more than $2.3 billion. All-too-many media reports – some samples below – should alert us to

the lurking public-health and environmental threats from hundreds of poorly maintained coal-waste sites: “Near many of Indiana’s coal fired power plants, the ground water is a toxic mix of arsenic, boron, cobalt, lead, molybdenum, radium and thallium” – IndyStar, March 28 – coal ash contaminants there being at levels 40 times above safe drinking water standards. “Coal ash pollution threatens groundwater at western Kentucky power plant” – National Public Radio, April 10, 207 – arsenic levels “nearly 1,000 times the federal standard” being found there. “Toxic coal ash (is) seeping into Illinois’ only national scenic river” – Chicago Tribune, April 10.

Upcoming rally will offer chances to enjoy birds and much more

pring has certainly sprung. In the past week, several birds have made their return after a long absence, including broad-winged hawk, brown thrasher, blue-gray gnatcatcher, tree swallow and black-and-white warbler. It’s a good time to get outside and see what birds one can see without even really trying. One long-running annual event will help interested people see birds and experience other aspects of the natural world. The upcoming 60th annual Roan Mountain Spring Naturalists Rally promises three days of nature-packed activities and events for people of all ages. This year’s rally will be held Friday-Sunday, April 27-29. As always, in addition to bird walks and other nature hikes, the rally will offer evening programs by guest speakers on Friday and Saturday after a catered dinner. Kris Light will speak on Friday at 7:30 p.m. on “The

Feathered Friends By Bryan Stevens Birds and Bees of Wildflowers: Pollination Strategies of Flowers.” Light is a lifetime Tennessean who grew up in Nashville and graduated from University of Tennessee-Knoxville. She has experience teaching classroom science for elementary school students and is an outreach educator for the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge. She is a lifelong student of nature and a favorite leader of wildflower walks for various parks around the state.

Dr. Kevin Hamed will discuss the diversity of salamanders on Roan and other neighboring mountains during his Saturday program at 7:30 p.m. His presentation is titled “The

Future of Appalachian Salamanders: What the Past Tells Us.” Hamed is a professor of biology at Virginia Highlands Community College where he is dedicated to getting his students out of the classroom and into nature, where they gain experience collecting specimens

and recording data. This field data has been useful to various local, state, and federal organizations in making important land management decisions. Hamed is recognized as an expert on salamanders of the southern Appalachians. For his program Saturday night he will discuss the unique environment of the area’s mountains which makes this area “holy ground” for salamander study, present his research on the nesting behavior of salamanders, and discuss the importance of salamanders as indicators of environmental change. All activities and programs are free to members of the Friends of Roan Mountain. There is a charge, however, for the Friday and Saturday evening meals, which are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Visit friendsofroanmtn.org to register and pay online to reserve meals for Friday and Saturday. Deadline to reserve a meal is April 24.

Mayor says school project could take county debt ‘to the limit’ By MARINA WATERS Staff Writer mwaters@heraldandtribune.com A year ago, the plan to turn the current Jonesborough Elementary School site into a K-8 school and the current Jonesborough Middle School site into an academic magnet school seemed to be up ahead. Now, after newly drafted design plans and numerous split votes on design options from the school board, the Washington County Budget Committee weighed what the future of the project could mean for the county’s financial plan. Eldridge said that while the latest report from Moody’s Public Finance Group said that the current debt level for the county is in better shape than that of the U.S. median, in the future, that could be subject to change. “I say that specifically with the things that are potentially on the horizon,” Eldridge said. “Increasing that debt level without a corresponding increase in property values is somewhat problematic.” Commissioner Lynn Hodge asked how much the Jonesborough School project, which is yet to be officially finalized, could effect the county’s interest rates and credit. “I think where it would hurt us is if we had to amend our policy,” Eldridge said. “The county commission was very deliberate a few years ago in setting limits on the amount of debt that we were willing to take on and they were very

What to do about Jonesborough Elementary is still in dispute within the county. responsible in that, but I think, and this goes back to my days of dealing with Wall Street years ago, I know we got hurt much more when we violated our own policy or missed our own projections. “In this situation, I think the challenge would be to exceed what we said we were willing to

do.” Eldridge said the project could require an additional $40 million for the county to take on in debt, which would put the county over the $200 million debt mark. “It takes us to the limit,” Eldridge said. “From

my perspective, worst case scenario would be to exceed the amount of borrowing the commission has established. And the higher the interest rates go, the more expensive the borrowing is and you may not exceed that threshold of net borrowing, but it’s driving your borrowing costs and your annual debt service. That means you move more pennies, which means you have to borrow more debt.” Commissioner and Budget Chairman Joe Grandy added that the longer the Jonesborough School project is delayed, the less money the BOE could have to work with, as interest rates are projected to go up. New administration is also on the horizon in the county, which could be a factor for the project. Eldridge, who is not seeking reelection this year as the county mayor, said a new school for Jonesborough isn’t a possibility, unless the future mayor and county commissioners opt for another tax increase. “I’ve heard these comments of, ‘We’re just going to wait for new administration and they will build us a new school,’” Eldridge said. “If a new administration can convince eight county commissioners to raise taxes again, then it will be possible to build a new school. Without a tax increase, it is just not possible. It’s unfortunate that people are being told things like that because it misinforms the public. “At this point, I don’t think they know what to believe.”

WATERS Continued From Page 4A safety in storage and disposal, the Environmental Protection Agency issued two coal-ash rules strengthening the federal standards. With the Trump administration seemingly intent on propping up coal, however, the utility industry promptly called for rollbacks to the “burdensome, inflexible, and often impracticable” rules and Administrator Pruitt, equally promptly, granted its petition to have these deferred and re-reviewed. In a proposed “Overhaul” on which the EPA is seeking public input, a “spate of changes” to the 2015 Coal Ash Rule would gut groundwater protection and monitoring requirements. Various other “flexibility” options for states, or industry operators themselves, to determine need

or type of “alternate” cleanup, ash-pond closure, contamination-control or other measures promise savings to the industry of “between $32 million and $100 million per year.” Water is the source of life. For the artist por-

traying threatened aquatic wildlife, for citizens fearing the safety of water supplies being compromised, the proposed overturning of regulatory coal-waste protections is an ominous and unwelcome development in Washington.

Crockett baseballer ready to continue the work

By MARINA WATERS Staff Writer mwaters@heraldandtribune.com For David Crockett High School b[Baseball’s Brodie Fox, Wednesday, April 11 was a dream fulfilled as he signed to continue his academic and athletic career at Milligan College. “Always as a kid that’s what everybody dreams for,” Fox said. “You know, you think of the bottom of the ninth and coming up big — you just want to play in college and at that next level.” Fox is a senior outfielder for the Pioneers and plans to join the Milligan Buffalo team in the fall. Though he said it’s been a dream of his to play at the collegiate level, more specifically, he said the team’s potential future is what prompted him to take the college offer and join the Johnson City team.

Pioneer baseball player Brodie Fox (front, middle) signs with Milligan in the company of his mother Amy Fox (front left), his father Royce Fox (front right), DCHS Coach Nick Lingerfelt (back left), sister Ashlin Fox (back middle) and Milligan Coach Steve McMillan. “Opportunities,” Fox said, “Everyone’s seen all the guys we’ve got. We’re going to be good.”

If you were to ask DCHS Baseball Head Coach Nick Lingerfelt what set Fox apart to compete at the next level, his

answer would be simple; it’s all that extra hard work. “We do a lot of talking about what it’s going to take to get this program to the next level,” Lingerfelt said, “and anytime I leave here, I see people in the building hitting or sneaking into the girls softball cages to hit. I’d say there’s times when his parents are like, ‘where in the world is he at?’ but he’s in the cages, in the barn hitting. That’s what it takes. He’s a leader on this team by his actions. And I’m just really excited for him.” Though Fox will be trading brown and gold for orange and black come the fall, for now, he’s focused on his final season as a Crockett Pioneer. The boys in brown recently

clinched their first conference win of the season the day before Fox’s signing where they claimed the 13-12 win against Cherokee High School in the sixth inning. And that win is one Fox is hoping the team can feed off of as they continue their season. “Right now we’ve just got to get things going,” Fox said. “We got that big conference win last night. We’ve just got to capitalize on that.” But it hasn’t only taken a team mentality and work in the cages for Fox to get to his signing day; it’s also taken patience. When asked what obstacles he’s had to overcome to get to signing day, the senior outfielder quickly said the ankle injury that

put him on the sideline was a roadblock. “That injury that happened, I had to sit out for I don’t know how long,” Fox said. “It just killed me. It was a really, really bad ankle sprain. I pulled some tendons in my ankle and couldn’t do anything. I wasn’t completely back until like a month and a half. It was a while.” But now, Fox is ready to continue the work and wrap up his senior season with his team before joining his fellow Milligan Buffaloes, which are days that, according to his Crockett head coach, will be his best yet. “Brodie is always here and working to improve,” Lingerfelt said. “But Brodie’s best baseball days I think are ahead of him.”

Local teen gets ready to help teach at college event By LISA WHALEY Publisher lwhaley@heraldandtribune.com Musical talent seems to run in the Constable family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that and a bit of healthy rivalry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Chelsea gets something faster than me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m automatically trying to do it even faster or better,â&#x20AC;? Grace Constable, age 16, said with a grin, talking about her older sister, who recently gained attention with the release of a new debut EP. But there is also a great deal of professional respect and support in that relationship, especially as Grace gets ready to not necessarily follow in her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps, but to blaze her own trail. She has already gotten to play an important part in her sister Chelseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new release, playing guitar, as well as drums and bass, when she was only 15. And on Thursday, Grace, accompanied by her sister, will be helping to lead a East Tennessee State University Seminar for music students and other interested guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be teaching a class to people who are older than me,â&#x20AC;? Grace said with a touch of awe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m under the impression itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a pretty big room.â&#x20AC;? Yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge she feels well equipped to meet. While she has always loved music, Grace credits a couple of special moments for help-

That was a really cool experience for me,â&#x20AC;? Grace recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been listening to his music for a long time and I really liked it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, I played him one of my songs and got to hear his feedback. It was just a really cool experience.â&#x20AC;? Like her sister, Grace began to work with Taylor Guitars, helping to provide promotional videos. It was through

Taylor that she was able to attend an event in California that really sealed her musical dreams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taylor ďŹ&#x201A;ew us (Chelsea and Grace) to the 2016 California NAMM, the National Association of Music Merchants, to perform,â&#x20AC;?

Her favorite subjects are U.S. history and world history, but she always seems to come back to music and the many layers of training that can surround it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of stuff that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in,â&#x20AC;? Grace said. Asked about her dream 10 years into the future, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to be working as a solo artist, maybe a

But mostly, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to the music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing some Tony Rice material and traditional bluegrass songs.

County breakfast coming to Fairview UMC

Postmodernism

Merriam- Webster deﬁnes postmodernism as follows:

powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12). Jesus is the way and what a diﬀerence He makes in an individual’s life. It is not being a good person, or how much charity work a person does, but only coming to God through a personal relationship with God. Instead of this preacher trying to put it in his own words, let’s look to what Scripture says. God chose Christ to be the One that would save the world. 1 Peter 2:4 says, “Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious.” In John 3:13, the disciple whom Jesus loved wrote, “No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.” You and I are not perfect, only One is and His name is Jesus, Hebrew 4:15 says, “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Jesus Christ was the sacriﬁce for our sins. We must be thankful for His death and He has conquered death, hell and the grave. We can go to God through

“a: of, relating to, or being any of various movements in reaction to modernism that are typically characterized by a return to traditional materials and forms (as in architecture) or by ironic self-reference and absurdity (as in literature) b : of, relating to, or being a theory that involves a radical reappraisal of modern assumptions about culture, identity, history, or language, postmodern feminism.” I hold a Biblical worldview. I have and I always will hold to the inerrancy of God’s Holy Word, the Bible. I believe in absolute truth. I believe that the world was created by God and that in Genesis, the book of beginnings, God was in complete and total control. I believe that when Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me,” that is exactly what He meant. Many people in the name of a “post modern world” do not want to hear about the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. Some say, “How can Christians who proclaim God’s love be so narrowed minded?” The writer of Hebrews tells us about God’s Word, “For the word of God is living and

Christ; He is our Mediator. 1 Timothy 2:5 clearly states, “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.” There is eternal life through Christ and abundant living. In John 3:14–15 we ﬁnd, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but[a]have eternal life.” John 10:7 says, “Then Jesus said to them again, Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.” The bread of life and the resurrection are also two of the seven “I am” statements found in John. In Acts we see Peter addressing the Sanhedrin; Peter points to one way, Jesus. Peter says in Act 4:12 — I like how Eugene Peterson says it — , “Salvation comes no other way; no other name has been or will be given to us by which we can be saved, only this one.” Remember, no matter what we hear today about others ways to approach God other that Jesus the Christ, trust Jesus. He came in order for us to live; only through His precious blood. Jeremy Dykes is the pastor at Jackson Park Church of the Brethren in Jonesborough, Tennessee.

Natural bug killers, fertilizer

EDITORʼS NOTE: Jeanne Cope was out this week, so the Herald & Tribune has pulled some of her past words of wisdom for local gardeners.

Let’s leave chemicals on the shelf and make these natural concoctions for bugs and fertilizers yourself. Natural — the best for health. These are our ancestor’s ways, and although untried by me, I intend to greet bugs using these recipes this gardening season. Test suggestions in your garden on a small sample before treating the whole garden. See if these recipes work for you. Take a bucket of hot water to the garden as the sun goes down. Look under leaves and on stems of plants for bugs. Hand pick them, drop into the bucket. Eliminate pests on the spot. Hand picking is always safe, without plant damage. Get rid of snails and slugs: sink a jar lid into the ground until level, Fill with beer. Snails slink around and fall into the lid. Empty each morning, and reﬁll with beer. Repeat until snails and slugs are gone. Because this treatment does not involve plants, it can’t harm plant life. Black Spot Fungus on roses: In a sprayer, mix one-tablespoon baking soda, and 1-teaspoon dish washing detergent in one-gallon water. Spray on roses once a week in early morning until the fungus has disappeared. Aphids: Leaves curled and deformed, check underside

Make garden sprays yourself for better quality. of leaves to find a colony of aphids. They are very tiny insects that suck sap from plants, ultimately leading to weak plants or death of the plant. To fight aphids, mix 1-cup vegetable oil with 1-tablespoon dish washing liquid, then use 1-tablespoon of the mixture with one cup of water. Dip a branch into mix, or use a paintbrush to apply mixture to leaves. Moles and Voles: plant Jalapeño peppers within four inches of the invaded area identified by raised parts of ground signifying a tunnel. A hot pepper spray sold in garden shops, is recommended as a remedy for getting rid of rabbits, squirrels, moles, voles, and groundhogs. Castor Oil spray helps deter groundhogs and deer. Castor Oil is easily found in food stores, and pharmacies at lower cost than prepared spray at a garden shop. Buy a bottle, dilute with water. Suggestion is a tablespoon to a gallon of water. See if it works Three products, all non-chemical, can cure most problems in the garden: Bacillus thuringiensis (BT), targets leaf, and flower eat-

ing caterpillars. Insecticidal soap kills sucking insects as aphids, spider mites, and mealy bugs. Neem oil gets chewers as cutworms, and Japanese beetles. It is important to know oil based treatments are used in cool weather, so try on a sample before treating in hot summer. Only treat plants with problems. Always choose natural, organic treatments, and avoid chemicals. Eat healthy, be happy, smile! A great fertilizer is manure tea: whether horse, cow, or chicken. Use old manure if possible. In a ﬁve-gallon bucket, add a heaping shovel full of manure and ﬁll with water. Stir and mix well, let it sit covered for three days, stirring once a day. Thin with water until it looks like iced tea. Add the liquid to garden and add the residual matter to the compost heap. Happy Gardening Everyone.

Positive Points 

• By Linda Poland • This young man and I talked about many things including the world events, and I ﬁnally asked him if he wished there was more recognition for young people doing well and contributing to their community. His answer was so simple but so very true. He said “I never knew my father; he left us. But my grandfather helped us as much as he could. And he once gave me some really good advice, which was never do something to get recognition; do it because it is right.” The young man went on to say that his grandfather’s advice helps him make his way through everyday situations. He also said that he didn’t know how people that lie and cheat or hurt people can live with themselves. He ﬁnished by saying that he gets a good night sleep because he tries not to hurt anyone or cheat anyone; just helps when

he can. This conversation kept coming back to me and I thought, I wish there were more young people that had the same values as that kid. Just last week I found out that there are a lot of good kids. My daughter and I took my granddaughter to see the movie “Peter Rabbit” at AMC theaters and afterwards to dinner. When I went to pay the check, my wallet was gone and I panicked thinking of all my credit cards, money and identiﬁcation. We went back to the movie theater and, thank God, my wallet had been turned in by the young men who clean up the theater between movies. I was so thankful to have my wallet returned but also thankful for the positive reinforcement that there are lots of young people around us and around the world — and it is our job to be encouragers. Linda Poland is Jonesborough’s resident storyteller.

CROSSWORD: LOTS OF JOBS

Lazy or not, here they come Do you ever get tired of hearing people bash teenagers and say they are lazy and do nothing to help the community? Well, I for one know some great teenagers and young adults who have stepped up and contributed to their school and communities in many positive ways. Our young people need encouragement, especially in today’s world of unrest, double standards and character assassination; it is hard for them to find their way when people say they are out of control and selfish. Yes, there are a few that fit this description and they get a lot of coverage in the media for their bad behavior. I had a great conversation with a kid while on a flight not too long ago. He was probably in his late teens and seemed to feel comfortable with himself, not arrogant or pushy. I was delighted to be sitting next to someone without earphones on and a computer with a knockyou-down, shoot-you-up game on where the only way you knew they were alive was that their fingers were moving.

The above map illustrates East Tennessee in 1796. However, Washington County made a cameo in the history of tehe Southwest territorial period.

Washington County appears in Southwest territorial period By John Kiener Associate Editor jkiener@heraldandtribune.com (Editorʼs Note: This is the third in a series of Southwest History provided by the Daughters of the American Revolution from the ﬁles of Mrs. Mary Sue Hurt Campbell.)

The SEQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION of the Southwest Territory: 1790 – 1940 on Sunday, October 13, 1940 featured a “Historical Pageant” produced by Tusculum College. An opening program note read: “Written and produced for the occasion by Miss Kathleen Burnett, instructor in dramatic art, Tusculum, Greeneville, Tennessee, Dr. Charles A. Anderson, president. Greeneville College was chartered in 1794, four years after the arrival in the Southwest Territory of Governor [William] Blount. Greeneville College, later amalgamated with Tusculum, was the ﬁrst institution to grant a college degree west of the Alleghenies, and the 18th in the United States.” The audience was also told: “All members of the cast are Tusculum College Students.” The play was composed of a PROLOGUE, and three EPISODES. The Prologue provided: “An Indian attack on the Watauga Settlement in 1776. Before the establishment of the Southwest Territory. The prologue contrasts the wild and heroic pioneer life of early settlers with the culture and civilization that followed on the heels of the new territorial government. “EPISODE I – The arrival of Governor Blount at Mr. Cobb’s house, ‘Rocky Mount’ on the Watauga, Southwest Territory, Oct. 13, 1790; EPISODE II – After the meeting of the Legislative Council of the Territorial Assembly of the Southwest Territory. A large room in the village tavern at Knoxville, September, 1794; EPISODE III – The presentation of the charter to Greeneville College on Reverend Hezekiah Balch’s plantation in Greeneville, February, 1795.” The names of the players and the parts they played in the Historical Pageant will be detailed in another installment of this series. The SEQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION had seven committees: Program, Finance, Arrangements, Publicity, Radio, Safety and Invitation. The Publicity Committee was named in Part I of the series. The Program Committee of which the “Historical Pageant” was a part consisted of Mrs. Amelia S. Copenhaver, Chairman from Bristol along with members Dr. Charles A. Anderson of Tusculum; George W. Anderson of Kingsport; Mrs. Wiley Mount of Shouns; F. T. Gentry of Erwin; Raymond Campbell of Elizabethton; T. W. Preston of Bristol; Winﬁeld Hale of Kingsport, Robert May of Jonesboro; C. Hodge Mathis of Johnson City and Paul Counce of Kingsport. Part II of the “PHASES OF SOUTHWEST TERRITORY HISTORY” written by Samuel C. Williams was titled “Washington County in the Territorial Period. The text

read: “GOVERNOR BLOUNT decided to organize the four North Carolina counties as counties of the Territory in the order of seniority; and, therefore, the mother county of Washington stood first for organization. The Governor proceeded to Jonesborough where, on October 22, 1790, he had called together all persons who held commissions under the government of the State of North Carolina – a step which was repeated in every county to be organized. “In 1790 and throughout the existence of the Territory Washington County covered what later on became the counties of Carter, Johnson and Unicoi, and the rosters of officials given below contain names of residents of counties afterwards detached from Washington. “The new government was to be administered according to the laws of North Carolina in force, the laws of Congress and the ordinances and laws to be enacted by the territorial government. “In announcing the officials, priority was given to civil officials. The governor commissioned the following as justices of the peace for Washington County: John Sevier, Landon Carter, Charles Robertson, Andrew Greer, John Chisholm, Edmund Williams, James Allison, James Stuart, John Strain, John Wear, Robert Love, Joseph Britton, John Milligan, Joshua Kelly, Richard White, Edward Smith, William Cobb and Samuel Handley. “Later on the following were appointed justices: Thomas Gillespie, Cornelius Bowman, John McAllister, John Carter, Jr., Nathaniel Taylor, James Montgomery, Robert Allison, John Crouch, John Kincheloe, Joseph Young, William McNabb, Charles McCray, Wm. Moreland, Nathaniel Hall, Wm. Pursley, John Blair, Jesse Payne, and Robert Maclin. Michael Harrison was commissioned as sheriff; George Williams, Peter McNamee and Wm. Alexander as deputy sheriffs; William Stephenson as register, James Sevier as clerk and James Reese as county attorney. “Appointments were next made in the county’s militia, as follows: Landon Carter, lieutenant-colonel commandant; Robert Love, Lieutenant-colonel; John Blair, first major; Leroy Taylor, second major; Samuel McQueen, Cornelius Bowman, Alexander Greer, Thomas Maxfield, Jonathan Tully, George Williams, George North, William Stone, John Campbell, John Milligan, James Wiley, Samuel Handley, Jacob Brown, James Love, and Thomas Biddle, captains; David Waggoner, Solomon Campbell, Nicholas Carriger, Thomas Lackey, Joseph Morrison, John Layman, John Melvin, David Carson, Solomon Yeager, James Scott, Thomas Gann, Obadiah Bounds, Nathaniel Armstrong and Moses Rogers, lieutenants. “William Swiney, John Vantries, Jonathan Tipton, Jr., Solomon Massengill, Daniel Bailess, Henry Oldham, James Hall, John Clark,

Joseph Rogers, John Blevins and George Davis, ensigns. In later months or years, the following officers were commissioned in lieu of those who had died, resigned or removed from the county: John Blair, lieutenant-colonel vice Robert Love, removed from the Territory; Leroy Taylor, first major, and Alexander Greer, second major; William Gallagher, cornet of cavalry. “In the legislative council the county had John Sevier and it was represented in the lower house of the territorial general assembly at all sessions by two members, John Tipton, Sr., and Leroy Taylor. Landon Carter was treasurer of the two districts (Washington and Hamilton) east of the Cumberland Mountains. “Jonesborough throughout the life of the Territory was the judicial capital of the Washington District. Courts of Oyer and Terminer and of Equity were regularly held there. “As already indicated, Governor Blount was concerned to save his administration being embarrassed by a fresh outbreak of the bitter rivalry that marked the State of Franklin period, when two factions existed, one led by John Sevier and the other by John Tipton, both Washington County men. In order to smooth the running of the government Blount made a visit to the home of Tipton who had been circulating a petition criticizing Sevier, and of this visit he promptly wrote Sevier: ‘I paid a visit to colonel Tipton; my reception was kind and the interview satisfactory. Conciliation and public happiness were the objects. While I was there the petition of which you have heard was committed to the flames by the Colonel himself in the presence of David Allison. I was first induced to think of this visit by communications made by Judge Campbell, and am truly pleased with the event.” (To Be Continued in Installment Four of this series)
