From an uncertain start in a new town, newspaper celebrating its centennial By VINCE STATEN vincestaten@timesnews.net

KINGSPO RT — It’s come full circle. When the Kingsport Times was founded 100 years ago, the first issues were printed in Johnson City. Today the Johnson City paper is printed in Kingsport. Those first issues of the Times were printed in Johnson City for a simple reason: that’s where founder and publisher Cy Lyle lived and where he also published the Johnson City Comet, a weekly that had been in business since 1884. He saw opportunity in the booming little town to the north and on April 28, 1916, he and his editor R.D. “Bob” Kinkead shipped 500 copies of the first issue of The Kingsport Times to Kingsport on the CC&O Railroad. O n the 20th anniversary of the newspaper, Kinkead recalled, “Streets were only paths that were almost impassible in rainy weather. Paved streets were then unheard of and had never been considered here.” No copy of that first issue survives. In fact, the first surviving copy is issue

3, May 11, 1916, and it is in poor condition. But you can read most of the content. It was a mix of national stories from The Associated Press with a few local stories filling in. There was an AP dispatch from Texas where U.S. Cavalry troops were chasing the bandit Pancho Villa and his gang. A story out of Washington chronicled President Woodrow Wilson’s negotiations with Germany over submarine warfare. At the top of the front page was “Kingsport and its Development,” a transcription of an address by “George Bradley, High School Boy” to the school’s Bachmonian Literary Society. “I predict that Kingsport shall become a place of civic beauty, a city of clean streets, shady avenues, rose terraces and window box gardens. Let us make Kingsport a city of commercial importance, second to none but no less a home of culture in its broadest sense.”

Above, the Kingsport Times-News building is shown on Market Street in this photo from 1946. In November 1916, the newspaper office was moved from Main Street to a small wood frame building in what is now the 200 block of East Market Street. When the newspaper expanded in 1957, it took up most of the block. In 1972, the Times-News moved from its longtime home to its current location on Lynn Garden Drive, left.

Road to recovery: Tennessee making strides against prescription abuse By NICK SHEPHERD nshepherd@timesnews.net

Prescription drug abuse has become so pervasive in the state it has been labeled an epidemic. But Tennessee has been taking meaningful steps to reverse the trend and is starting to see tangible results. A major step taken in the last week was the passage of a bill in

the Tennessee Senate which, if signed by Gov. Bill Haslam, would force pain management clinics to obtain a license and be inspected by the Department of Health. “This legislation will professionalize the industry and allow patients to have more faith in the providers who treat them,” said bill sponsor Sen. Randy McNally, R-O ak Ridge, in a press release.

“We continue to rank among the worst in the nation in prescription opiate abuse and deaths despite significant efforts made by the General Assembly over the last several years to curb it.” Senate Bill 1466 says pain management clinics must obtain a license to operate by July 1, 2017. Currently the clinics are only required to register with the Health Department.

If any clinics do not obtain a license, they will face a class A misdemeanor offense for each day of operation. The bill also says pain management clinics must be inspected before being licensed and at least once every two years after that. The Department of Health can also conduct unannounced inspections at any time and could review business and

medical records whenever there is a reasonable suspicion a clinic is operating without a license. At any time, if the commissioner of health believes a clinic is detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of patients, operations for new or existing patients can be suspended until review at a prompt hearing.

More ‘SNL’ NBC is cutting the commercial clutter during “Saturday Night Live.” Just two weeks before NBC starts selling ad time for the 2016-17 season, the network announced Monday that the legendary late-night sketch program will have two fewer national commercial breaks starting this season, its 42nd. “As the decades have gone by, commercial time has grown,” the show’s creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels said. “This will give time back to the show to make it easier to watch the show live.” “Saturday Night Live” runs 93 minutes. About one-third of that is devoted to national and local commercials and promos for other network programs. As part of this change, viewers will see more pro-

gram content with an addition of original sponsored content from advertisers that partner with the show. NBC said with the commercial reductions viewers will see “branded content” from advertisers who partner with the show. The show could use its writers and cast members to create sketches that are sponsored, an MICHAELS NBC spokeswoman said. “By partnering together, advertisers can capture an audience that only ‘SNL’ can deliver,” said Linda Yaccarino, chairman of advertising sales and client partnerships, NBCUniversal.

Our daily editorial reflects the opinion

Wednesday, April 27, 2016 / Kingsport Times-News 3A

100 YEARS Continued from 1A

Despite those optimistic words on that early front page, the paper got off to an uncertain start. Shortly after that third issue went to press, Kinkead suffered an attack of appendicitis and was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in Bristol for surgery. (If you’ve never heard of St. Luke’s, you are in the majority; it closed in 1925.) In his absence the paper was edited by the Rev. Kinzer, a retired Methodist minister who had recently moved to Kingsport from Tazewell.

The paper moves to Market Street

When Kinkead returned to the paper, he brought in his brother Ben as advertising manager and set up an office above what was then the Strand Theater — later the Gem Theater — on Main Street. In November 1916, Kinkead and his brother Joe bought the paper from Lyle and moved the office to a small wood frame building in what is now the 200 block of Market. R.D. later said of that period that he was “editor, publisher, reporter, printer’s devil and whatever else needed doing.” A 1917 Cincinnati newspaper praised Kinkead for “quietly and earnestly making a newspaper that is the pride of every citizen of town. They will stand by him and discourage outside competition. All papers should have such support.” By 1918, Ayer’s Newspapers and Directory reported the Times circulation had tripled, to 1,500. The Times’ success did not go unnoticed. And in 1919, Thomas H. Pratt and Isaac Shuman, who were working at the Bristol Herald Courier and had been classmates at Washington and Lee, bought the Times from the Kinkeads. Shuman became editor and Pratt general manager. The new owners quickly published their statement of purpose: “The Times will try to print all the news of Kingsport and this section accurately and without bias, so that it might inform completely and reflect truly the activities — civic, industrial, commercial, agricultural and social — of Kingsport and the region of which it is the center. Service to Kingsport shall be our watchword.” They also began twice a week publication with the promise to go daily as soon as propitious. That didn’t become propitious under the ownership of Pratt and Shuman, but the Times circulation edged up to 1,800. Shuman and Pratt introduced the first comic strip in the Times, “The Clancy Kids,” a kids-will-be-kids four-panel strip that usually ran on the classifieds page. Pratt remained with the Times for two decades, but Shuman was anxious to return to his native New York. In 1920, the newspaper was reorganized with a new ownership that included Pratt and Howard Long. Long, who had been editor of the daily Johnson City Staff and later the

Bristol Herald Courier, bought out Shuman’s interest. Shuman went straight from the Kingsport Times to the New York Evening World. O ne day he was writing about paving Dale Street; the next he was covering a Major League Baseball game between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Giants. Shuman later moved to the New York Times, and in 1925 stopped by the Kingsport Times newsroom to see old friends. He was on his way back to Dayton, Tenn., where he had covered the Scopes Monkey Trial and was returning to report on the funeral of William Jennings Bryan.

The Times becomes a daily It was under the LongPratt team that the Times became a daily. The fourth headline down on the top of the front page on Wednesday, O ct. 1, 1924, announced: “The Kingsport Times Begins Daily and Sunday Morning Publication with Industrial Edition Today, Forty Pages.” Long edited the paper for the next 15 years until President Roosevelt named him Kingsport’s postmaster in January 1935. It was in the mid-20s that Pratt made perhaps his best hire. When his business manager, L.L. Duckett, accepted the general manager’s job at a new daily in Pulaski, Va., in 1926, he hired W.J. McAuliffe away from the local tannery to be his new business manager. Mac was associated with the Times for the next 50 years on both the business and editorial sides and is remembered by longtime readers for his daily “Mac’s Window” column of observations and inspirations. Pratt was a newspaper man by day, a stamp collector by night. And not just an average Joe who tore corners off envelopes. He placed classified ads in newspapers around the country offering to buy stamp collections. He made himself the world authority on the Confederate states stamps, and his collection won the top prize at four leading stamp expositions, including the 1926 International Exposition of the Philatelist Society in New York City and at the 1938 exhibition at Strasbourg, Germany. He also served as a state senator beginning in 1928 and was a delegate to the Republican Conventions of 1932 and 1936.

And now, color comics! On Sunday, Jan 30, 1927, the Times added color comics. There were eight color pages. “Six of these pages will be devoted to comics and the other two to magazine features. O ne of the magazine feature pages will be an exclusive Woman’s Page entitled, ‘Housewifely Wisdom.’ The other will contain a long illustrated magazine article of interest to everybody. The six comic pages in colors will include ‘Slim Jim,’ ‘The Kelly Kids,’ Mutt and

Jeff,’ ‘The Nebbs,’ ‘S’matter Pop,’ and ‘Toonerville Folks.’ ” In 1938, a group of Kingsport businessmen headed by insurance executive C.P. Edwards Jr., bought the newspaper. Edwards became president and promoted the “dapper New Yorker,” as the newspaper called him, W. J. McAuliffe to editor. Bill Barnett joined the Times staff shortly after Edwards and friends purchased it, and in 1949 he recalled those years. “There wasn’t much doubt about who covered what news in those days. The news staff consisted of four men and one woman — a managing editor, a sports editor, a society editor, one reporter and one other person.” That one other person was Barnett. “I came here as State Editor. It wasn’t until I reported for work that managing editor Frank Rule took me for a drive in his car and outlined other duties. Besides culling all the state news, I learned I was to cover a daily city news beat, do two or three special features running to several thousand words each week, file a weekly radio column and handle the weekly motion picture publicity, a job which carried with it the title of Sunday Editor and a pass to the first run theaters. And I was to help with the copy reading on Saturday nights.” Oh, and one more thing. “After working until after midnight Saturday nights I had to get up early Sunday morning to read the Sunday comics to the kiddies on a 9:15 a.m. broadcast called ‘Uncle Bill Reads the Funnies.’ Fortunately for the listening public my radio career was short.” Barnett’s work week went “from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:30 a.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday morning.” Barnett noted matter of factly that the man who held the job before him, “a Kentuckian named Cash,” left because his health failed from overwork.

Modernizing the operation Barnett said he had been employed at the Times only a few months when the publisher brought in J.W. West from Kansas City. “He was an expert on newspaper makeup who modernized the entire operation. West quickly proved that a better-looking easier-to-read paper could be produced with less work than went into the old product. One of the many changes he introduced was to reduce the working hours of news staff members. Besides the reduction in working hours another man was hired to take over half my work. After that I never felt quite sure I was really earning my $18 a week salary!” Barnett said, “By the time he had completed his revamping project he must have become attached to the Times. He was persuaded to stay on as general manager and still holds that position.” West remained until 1953, when he left to become advertising director

RECOVERY Continued from 1A

If the reason for the suspension threatens serious harm, the commissioner could appoint special monitors to observe the operation. Along with this new legislation, the seeds planted by Haslam in 2014’s “Prescription for Success” plan are starting to bear fruit. The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse recently measured the results of its efforts across the state. Some of the noteworthy achievements, according to a press release, are reducing doctor shopping by 50 percent, increasing funding to counties with high overdose deaths and ba-

bies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome, increasing funding to community anti-drug coalitions, a decline in prescription drug poisonings and overdose deaths and reaching more than 6 million people with the “Take Only as Directed” commercial. Since 2014, intervention, treatment and recovery programs have expanded. Some of those expansions include permanent prescription drug collection boxes increasing across the state from 36 to 155, 460,000 fewer opioid prescriptions being reported to the Controlled Substance Monitoring Database, 563,000 fewer opioid morphine milligram equivalents being dispensed, the

certification of nearly 100 faith communities as recovery congregations/organizations and increasing the number of recovery courts by 54 percent. Even though big strides are being made, officials in the state know their work is only beginning. “While we see reduced opioid use in Tennessee, there is still work to do,” E. Douglas Varney, commissioner for the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, said in a press release. “As long as Tennesseans are under the grip of substance abuse, we will continue to work together to help ensure all Tennesseans are healthy and safe.”

of the Augusta, Ga., Chronicle. When West took over in 1940, the newspaper’s circulation was 6,000. When he left, circulation had boomed to 21,300. He brought in new presses that were such a vast improvement over the old ones that Barnett compared it to greased lightning. “We gathered from all over the building to watch the gray streak of newspapers running through it, too fast to appear individually.” He added the morning Kingsport News in 1943. In his reminiscence, Barnett mentioned in passing how much the newsroom had changed during his three years off at war.

Ellis Binkley and his All Girl Newsroom While he was gone, West elevated staff writer Ellis Binkley to managing editor. Binkley was on the homefront because he was a member of the Tennessee State Guard. As more and more Times men were called into service, Binkley hired women to replace them, among them City Editor Virginia Davis, who replaced Barnett, and Eileen Crawford and Florine Cooter, who took over city news beats. The paper during the war years would come to be remembered as “Ellis Binkley and his All Girl Newsroom.” Binkley would remain in charge of the newsroom into the ’60s. When the newspaper expanded in 1957 — it now took up most of the 200 block of East Market — the paper boasted of all the experience on its staff. “The Times-News Advertising Department is headed by J.E. Huffaker. Huffaker is completing his 20th year with the company. Editor of the editorial page of the Kingsport Times is W.J. McAuliffe. McAuliffe has been with the Kingsport Times since 1921. Editor of

the editorial page of the Kingsport News is William Freehoff. He joined the Times-News staff in 1945. The 20-man News Department is headed by Ellis Binkley. Binkley has served in the news department 15 years. The composing room is headed by C.T. Hamlet. Hamlet is now serving his thirty-eighth year with the Times-News. The press-stereotype department is headed by Charles Houser, also serving his thirty-eighth year with the newspapers.” But change was on the horizon. Plastered across the top of the front page on Wednesday, March 28, 1962, was this: “Kingsport Newspaper Company Sold — Ohio Interests Buy Times, News.”

Kingsport Publishing Corp. The newly formed Kingsport Publishing Corp., wholly owned by Sanduskv Newspapers Inc. of Sandusky, O hio, had purchased the newspapers and brought in Dudley White Jr. as publisher and Ellsworth G. Heiberger as business manager. For the first time since Johnson Citian Cy Lyle founded the paper 46 years earlier, the newspaper was owned by folks from out of town. Fifty-four years later,

the Sandusky newspaper group still owns the Kingsport Times-News. In 1972, the paper moved from its longtime home on Market to Lynn Garden Drive. It’s still there. The longest serving publisher and longest serving managing editor in the history of the paper are currently in their posts. Publisher Keith Wilson has been the Times-News publisher for 23 years. Managing Editor Ted Como has been at the newspaper 33 years. Over its first century, the Times-News has employed hundreds of talented writers, editors and photographers. Two staffers went on to win Pulitzer Prizes: Rich Whitt at the Louisville Courier-Journal and Ron Kirksey at the Akron Beacon Journal. General Manager Ben Hadon, who replaced J.W. West, became a nationally known television minister. And former police reporter Charles Wright became the nation’s Poet Laureate. And that isn’t even scratching the surface of accomplishments. When Vince Staten IV, or Vickie Staten, writes the 200-year history of the Kingsport Times-News in 2116, I can only wonder what he or she will report. I hope the next 100 years are as interesting as the first 100.

Memories painful on Chernobyl’s 30th anniversary Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine — As Ukraine and Belarus on Tuesday marked the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident with solemn words and an angry protest, some of the men who were sent to the site in the first chaotic and frightening days were gripped by painful memories. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko led a ceremony in Chernobyl, where work is under way to complete a 2 billion euro ($2.25 billion) long-term shelter over the building containing Chernobyl’s exploded reactor. O nce the structure is in place, work will begin to remove the reactor and its lava-like radioactive waste. The disaster shone a spotlight on lax safety standards and government secrecy in the former Soviet Union. The explosion on April 26, 1986, was not reported by Soviet authori-

Associated Press

perts had gone public with their concerns. “We honor those who lost their health and require a

special attention from the government and society,” Poroshenko said. “It’s with an everlasting pain in our

hearts that we remember those who lost their lives to fight nuclear death.” About 600,000 people, often referred to as Chernobyl’s “liquidators,” were sent in to fight the fire at the nuclear plant and clean up the worst of its contamination. Thirty workers died either from the explosion or from acute radiation sickness within several months. The accident exposed millions in the region to dangerous levels of radiation and forced a wide-scale, permanent evacuation of hundreds of towns and villages in Ukraine and Belarus. At a ceremony in their honor in Kiev, some of the former liquidators told The Associated Press of their ordeal and surprise that they lived through it. O leg Medvedev, now 65, was sent to the zone on the first day of the crisis, to help evacuate the workers’ city of Pripyat, less than four kilometers (2.5 miles)

from the destroyed reactor. Four days later “I already had to go away from the zone because I’d received the maximum allowable radiation dose. Thirty years passed and I’m still alive, despite doctors giving me five. I’m happy about that.” “My soul hurts when I think of those days,” said Dmitry Mikhailov, 56. He was on a crew sent to evacuate a village where residents knew nothing of the accident. “They smiled at us. They didn’t understand what was happening,” he said. “I wish I knew where and how they are now. I just can’t forget them.” In Minsk, the capital of Belarus, more than 1,000 people held a protest march through the city center. “Chernobyl is continuing today. O ur relatives and friends are dying of cancer,” said 21-year-old protester Andrei O strovtsov.

Coroner says most Ohio victims shot many times Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Seven of eight relatives who were killed in their southern Ohio homes had been shot multiple times, including one who was shot nine times, according to autopsy results released Tuesday. Some also had bruising, which matched a report from a 911 caller who said two appeared to have been beaten up. The Hamilton County coroner said the victims — three women, four men and a 16-year-old boy — had wounds to their heads, torso and other parts of the body. Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco’s report said one victim had a single wound, one had two wounds, and the rest had three or more. The report didn’t specify which victim had which number of wounds. O hio’s attorney general has called the deaths carefully planned slayings carried out at four locations in Piketon, a rural Appalachian Mountain region community. Mike DeWine has also said there were marijuana growing operations at three of the locations where bodies were found. DeWine said Tuesday that investigators have received more than 300 tips and are continuing to serve search warrants in an effort to identify the killer or killers. He said 79 pieces of evidence have been sent to a state crime lab for testing and analysis. Authorities have said members of the

It may be a simple matter of sleep.

Rhoden family were targeted in the slayings. A woman who called 911 Friday morning to report finding two of the bodies said that she saw “blood all over the house” and that the two looked like they had been badly beaten. The victims are 40-year-old Christopher Rhoden Sr.; his ex-wife, Dana Rhoden; their three children, 16-year-old Christopher Rhoden Jr., 19-year-old Hanna Rhoden and 20-year-old Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden; Christopher Rhoden Sr.’s brother, 44-year-old Kenneth Rhoden; their cousin, 38-year-old Gary Rhoden; and 20-year-old Hannah Gilley, whose 6-month-old son with Frankie was unharmed. Two other children, a 6-monthold and a 3-year-old, were also unharmed. Leonard Manley, father of Dana Rhoden, told the Cincinnati Enquirer that he first learned about the marijuana operations from news reports. Manley, 64, said he’s sure his daughter couldn’t have been involved in anything illegal. “They are trying to drag my daughter through the mud, and I don’t appreciate that,” said Manley, whose three grandchildren — Dana’s children — were also among the dead. Manley also noted that the assailant was able to get by his daughter’s two dogs. “Whoever done it knows the family,” Manley said. “There were two dogs there that would eat you up.”

Moodiness, short attention span, memory loss, clumsiness, irritability— lack of quality sleep can cause a wide range of problems, and not just in adults.

Approximately 25 percent of all children experience some sort of sleep problem. Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one condition that can interrupt the quality sleep a child needs to function normally. Problems with daytime behavior and attention span can be attributed to OSA.

Is your child… Moody? Groggy? Anxious? Does he/she have problems going to sleep or staying asleep? Does your child snore? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a further sleep evaluation is recommended. Call us at 423-857-7011 for more information or to schedule an evaluation.

A lack of understanding

Re the column by Bill Press April 17, in paragraph eight he mentions two revered documents. He makes a correct statement concerning each. However, he goes on to show a lack of understanding regarding what is stated in each. Constitution is still our guiding document.” This is true, however nothing in the Constitution protects immoral behavior such as lying, stealing, cheating, adultery, fornication, homosexuality, etc. In other words, immoral behavior is not a constitutionally protected civil Bob Sara right. Moncier Moulton Second, the never says anything in the New Testament about homosexuality.” This is also true, however Mr. Press seems to imply that only Jesus’ words are inspired. The great majority of Americans believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. The Bible claims this scripture is given by inspiration of God.” The New Testament condemns all the above listed immoral behavior including homosexuality of which it has this to this cause

Climate is warming

Re. the Earth Day opinion piece fortunately the Republicans of the day listened to the scientists to give us cleaner air today. A main part of the Clean Air Act was the reduction in sulfur dioxide, the main component of acid rain. Through their foresight, SO2 emissions dropped 80 percent, averting the crisis of acid rain. With the U.S. leading the way, most of theNed world folScott lowed, leveraging their foresight. Jilton The opinion II piece also Jerrell mentioned a falsehood about an impending ice age in the 1970s. But if one were to look to the scientific literature rather than Newsweek, one would find there was no scientific consensus on cooling. Further study showed that SO 2 reflects sunlight, which was masking the heating by CO2 while contributing to acid rain. While some try to deny it, the data shows the climate is warming with 2015 the warmest on record as reported by the Japan Meteorological Agency, the MET office in Great Britain, NOAA and NASA. They also all agree the last 10 years are the warmest 10-year period on record, and they all agree there was never a pause. Even the Arbor Day Foundation has changed their maps Roy of what plants grow where to reflectRoy continued Odom II warming. If one doubts this, all theOdom majorIIagencies make the data valuable so anyone can download and analyze in Excel to confirm for oneself.

Navy’s quest for more subs is a money drain As the U.S. Department of Defense goes in quest of a larger piece of the overall budget, its Tom to America’s security Charles claims of threats grow in Stuart amplitudePeterson and volume. Its latest ambitions are for 40 percent more Platkin submarines than it claims Russia has, as opposed to the 25 percent more the U.S. Navy has now. The other is a desire by the U.S. Africa Command for money to use larger numbers of U.S. forces to fight Boko Haram, a group of terrorists in northeastern Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger. The claim is that these African states are U.S. allies. In reality they are African states that have the resources and should have sufficient motivation to fight off Boko Haram themselves. The United States doesn’t need the new submarines. The Navy wants them because it feels it has not had a big enough role in recent wars to have put enough Nick money into its pockets. D.

Greg It is worth noting that the newDave shipsSays — and byand Dave other the tanks, Quillen missile batteries, artillery hardware being sought by President Barack Ramsey Obama for use in Eastern Europe against Russia — also represent important purchases from the U.S. defense industries, large donors to current political campaigns.

In Virginia, Hillary can now count on the felon vote

Thanks to Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-Va.) 200,000 convicted felons in the state of Virginia may now register to vote. Writes The Washington Post, “The change applies to all felons who have completed their sentences and been released from supervised probation or parole. The Democratic governor’s decision particularly affects black John residents of Virginia: 1 in 4 Stossel African Americans in the state has been permanently banned from voting because of laws restricting the rights of those with convictions.” McAuliffe’s executive order also allows felons, including rapists and murderers, to run for public office, serve on a jury and become a notary public. I can just visualize the campaign slogan now: “Vote for me. I’ve already done time.” Republicans are outraged, of course. Virginia House of Delegates Speaker William J.

Light trading week continues NEW YO RK — Stocks finished mostly higher Tuesday in another cautious day of trading. Energy companies climbed in tandem with the price of oil, but technology companies fell. Trading has been light this week. Julian Emanuel, U.S. equities and derivatives strategist for UBS, said investors are waiting to see the results of Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan policy meetings in the next few days. The Dow Jones industrial average added 13.08 points, or 0.1 percent, at 17,990.32. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 3.91 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,091.70. The Nasdaq fell 7.48 points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,888.31. The price of benchmark U.S. crude oil jumped $1.40 to $44.04 per barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, gained $1.26 to $45.74 a barrel in London. Drug companies fell as investors looked ahead to the latest Congressional panel on drug prices. The Senate Aging Committee will hold its third meeting on drug prices Wednesday, and on Tuesday the committee said former Valeant Pharmaceuticals executive Robert Schiller and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, an investor in Valeant, will both be questioned. Investors in drug companies fear that Congressional scrutiny will make it harder for the companies to keep raising drug prices and keep their profits growing. Drug developer Sarepta Therapeutics plunged after a Food and Drug Administration panel said its muscular dystrophy drug eteplirsen shouldn’t be approved. The panelists said evidence didn’t show the drug is effective.

Quillen pediatrics recognized JOHNSON CITY — The Tennessee Department of Health recently recognized the pediatrics division of Quillen ETSU Physicians for achieving 100 percent compliance with the federal Vaccines For Children program. The VFC is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of an inability to pay. In Tennessee, the program is managed by TDO H’s Tennessee Immunization Program. TIP members recently came to the health care facility, which is a clinical department of East Tennessee State University’s Quillen College of Medicine, for a compliance visit and subsequently awarded the clinic with the Vaccines for Children Program Compliance Recognition Award. In addition to the certificate of recognition, the practice will also be acknowledged in the Tennessee Immunization Information System’s annual immunization review along with other VFC providers achieving 100 percent compliance.

The honor, which recognizes individual contributions of excellence in leadership and dedication for a span of 25 years or more, was presented during the BIA’s spring meeting on April 13 in Nashville. General Shale is the North American subsidiary of Wienerberger AG and a leading manufacturer of brick. “We are delighted to see Dick honored in this way,” said General Shale President and CEO Charles Smith. “O ver four decades, he fostered an unparalleled knowledge of the brick industry. He used his in-depth understanding to advance General Shale as an innovator, as well as promote the brick industry overall.” General Shale was founded in 1928 and is headquartered in Johnson City.

Little Jack King was a giant off the football field

Jack King wore number 61 when he played on the D-B football team back in 1942. And if you study the team picture carefully kneeling on the front row, the smallest player on the team can understand why. A “1” was the only numeral that would fit after the “6.” Jack was that small. He couldn’t have weighed 140 pounds soaking wet, yet he played guard on the offensive line, blocking much bigger boys on the opposite side of the ball. He was small on the football field. But in life he was a giant. Just ask the folks who worked with him on the D-B fieldhouse proj-

Residential property value down $22 million in Hawkins assessment By JEFF BOBO jbobo@timesnews.net

R O GERSVILLE — Although the figures aren’t official yet, Hawkins County’s 2016 real estate reappraisal is showing an overall reduction in value of more than $9.3 million, with the biggest dip being reflected in the residential market. Reappraisal numbers won’t be official until appeals have been heard by the county’s Board of Equalization in June and the state Board of Equalization signs off on those rulings. But, based on current 2016 assessment figures, the county’s overall property value decreased from $963,532,044 to $954,212,713. Some real estate categories went up in value, such as industrial property, utilities, and green belt. The category with the most value growth was commercial properties, which increased by $11.6 million. That growth was offset, however by a $22 million decrease in residential property, as well as a farmland decrease of $2 million. O nce the appraisal is approved by the state, Hawkins County will receive a state certified property tax rate which generates the same amount of revenue as last year’s tax rate. Due to the decrease in property value, County Mayor Melville Bailey and Assessor Jeff Thacker are predicting that certified tax rate will be slightly higher than Hawkins County’s current rate of $2.465. “I think it will go up a little bit,” Bailey told the Times-News Monday. “You’re not supposed to increase any revenue because of the reassessment, but you’re not supposed to lose any revenue either. When Jack Price did the assessment five years ago, the assessment was up about 15 percent, and our certified tax rate went from $2.705 to $2.345 — so it

went down 20.5 cents to accommodate that 15 percent increase in assessed value. It’s too early right now to be making predictions, but it might go up a penny or two.” Hawkins County is on a five-year reassessment cycle, and property assessments are based on market value and the most current real estate sale prices. Thacker told the TimesNews Tuesday he believes residential property sale prices were inflated prior to the reassessment five years ago, resulting in the 15 percent bump in value countywide. “It’s not on a roller coaster ride like it was,” Thacker said. “Everything seems to be leveling out. When the bubble busted back in 2008-09, property wasn’t worth what it was selling for, and of course that happened all over the United States.” Thacker informed the County Commission during its meeting Monday morning that reassessments were mailed out to property owners last week. Five years ago, there was quite a public outcry as a result of property values being increased substantially for many county residents. Thacker told the commission that doesn’t appear to be an issue this year. “I am proud of this reappraisal we just came out of,” He told the commission. “It has been done fair and equitable for the people of Hawkins County. It has been done without any preferential treatment to anybody.” Thacker noted that he has one piece of property that increased in value by $98,000. “My own mother has got a piece of property that went up in value,” he said. Thacker added, “If you remember the last reappraisal we went through, armed guards were brought in, and there were people lined up in the hallway. It was total chaos. You can go up there (to his office) right now, and we look like a Maytag repairman.”

Natural Tunnel hosting Kid’s Fishing Day Saturday By MARCI GORE mgore@timesnews.net

DUFFIELD — For two decades, Natural Tunnel State Park has hosted its annual Kid’s Fishing Day. Megan Krager, the park’s education specialist, says each year the event is attended by several hundred folks. “Last year, we had anywhere from 450 to 500 people. My best advice is to get here early and claim your spot,” Krager said. The event, which is now in its 20th year, will be held on Saturday. Registration begins at 11 a.m. with fishing to start at noon. Fishing for children ages 3 to 12 will continue until 3 p.m., at which time adults will be allowed to fish. There is no charge to fish. “This particular program is designed for children to learn how to fish. We noticed that over the past several years, the amount of people purchasing fishing licenses has gone down,” said Krager. “We were thinking, that by having this program, it would not only allow the kids to learn how to fish, but also, hopefully, they will enjoy it so much that

when they get older, it’s something they will continue to do and will become more involved with when they get older. And maybe they will also be ambassadors for fishing and help to protect some

of the waters we have for fishing.” Krager says whatever the kids catch, they can take home with them. Fishing equipment and bait are not supplied. Participants will need to bring their own. O ther programs available throughout the day on Saturday include archery, a BB competition and fly fishing. Those wishing to fish should park in the picnic area, where a shuttle bus will pick them up and take them to the Stock Creek Interpretive Center. Natural Tunnel will be a busy place the next few weeks. In addition to Kid’s Fishing Day this weekend, Run the Tunnel will also be held on Saturday. This 3.8-mile race begins at 9 a.m.

D-B makes list of Most Challenging High Schools From staff reports

KINGSPO RT — O n the heels of being named as one of the Best High Schools in Tennessee by U.S. News & World Report, Dobyns-Bennett also has made the list of America’s Most Challenging High Schools by The Washington Post. The Most Challenging High Schools list can be found online at apps.washingtonpost.com/ and is based upon the index score of the number of collegelevel tests given at a school in the previous calendar year divided by the number of graduates that year. Also noted are the percentage of students who come from families that qualify for lunch subsidies and the percentage of graduates who passed at least one college-level test during their high school career, called equity and excellence. “We are extremely proud that Dobyns-Bennett has once again been recognized as one of America’s most challenging high schools,”

Kingsport City Schools Superintendent Lyle Ailshie said. “We believe that all students can learn and succeed, and this recognition is certainly shared with all KCS employees who begin preparing Kingsport students for this type of success long before they reach the high school level.” Dobyns-Bennett was ranked No. 1,509 nationally, based on Challenge Index scores listed. In Tennessee, D-B was ranked 16th among 18 high schools that qualified. In East Tennessee, Knox West High was ranked 15th, Morristown Hamblen High was ranked 13th and Farragut in Knoxville was ranked 8th. “Dobyns-Bennett has long been recognized as a school which demands excellence of its students and staff,” D-B Principal Chris Hampton said in a news release. “Every day, we witness the extraordinary work ethic demonstrated by our students and faculty. To receive this distinction is a tribute to that hard work and dedication.”

TVA wants to pull plug on floating houses By GARY B. GRAY NET News Service

JO HNSO N CITY — The Tennessee Valley Authority wants to remove floating houses, or “non-navigable structures,” from its state reservoirs in the wake of an economic impact study that shows a significant number of them have been built and docked over the past 10 years. Developers are proposing residential-type communities on the reservoirs, and the TVA study reveals the rapid growth in recent years of unpermitted floating houses has raised concerns about potential environmental and safety impacts. Washington County commissioners on Monday unanimously voted to support a joint state Senate resolution that urges the TVA to reject a sunset provision that would require the removal of all houseboats within the next 20 years. Though legislators, local elected officials and houseboat owners are united in their opposition, TVA is a federal agency, and most agree there is little legal action that could be taken at the state or local level. “The Senate wants all boat houses to be grandfathered in,” Karen Jenkins, who owns a floating house docked on Boone Lake, told county commissioners Monday. “We were given a permit by TVA in 1978, but apparently they’re saying now they’re getting out of hand. It’s like

they’re coming and saying, ‘We’re going to take your home from you.’ ” Jenkins said she pays an annual $1,700 fee for the privilege of docking at Serenity Cove. She also said it has been and remains TVA’s duty to enforce and manage certain standards and requirements.

“It’s like they’re coming and saying, ‘We’re going to take your home from you.’ ”

—Karen Jenkins, houseboat owner

Though the TVA last issued permits for non-navigable structures in 1978, its recommended policy is to temporarily allow and issue permits to floating houses in its 16 reservoirs, the Tennessee River and its tributaries that meet the minimum safety and environmental standards. Floating houses permitted before 1978 would not be subject to new standards or an annual fee. “In 1978, I thought they would grandfather us in,” Jenkins said. “That’s why I’m confused about what they’re doing now. It doesn’t bother me that they are now upgrading the standards. But why do that if they are just going to re-

move them? It’s going to cost a lot of people a lot of money.” The updated requirements include minimum standards for electrical safety as well as compliance with local, state and federal sewage and wastewater regulations. A statewide effort to fight the move is being conducted by Save O ur Floating Homes. The group has gathered more than 2,000 signatures so far and has talked about a possible class-action lawsuit. TVA’s board of directors will meet May 5 in Buchanan, where a “listening session” will be held for the public. The TVA will accept public comments for 30 days once it publishes a notice “of proposed rule-making in the Federal Register.” “We’re basically in the mud now,” said Randy Greer, who also owns a floating house on Boone Lake. “Now, if this goes through, we’ll have to move. It’s obvious to me they’re trying to clear boat houses from TVA lakes.” An estimated 1,800 structures, used primarily for habitation, line TVA reservoirs and rivers. The federal agency has jurisdiction under Section 26a of the TVA Act to regulate obstructions that affect navigation, flood control or public lands across, along or in the Tennessee River or any of its tributaries. TVA also is permitted to set conditions of land-use agreements with commercial marina operators.

Dad who had child in pickup during alleged DUI wreck charged with endangerment By JEFF BOBO

jbobo@timesnews.net MO UNT CARMEL — A Hawkins County man whose 10-year-old son was in the vehicle during an alleged DUI wreck Saturday morning was also charged with reckless endangerment. Shortly after 11 a.m., Hawkins County Sheriff’s O ffice Deputy John Tunnell responded to a single vehicle wreck at 181 Big Elm Road just south of Carters Valley Road in far eastern Hawkins County. Michael Lynn Matlock, 47, 919 S. Sherbrooke Circle, Mount Carmel, report-

edly told Tunnell he drove his 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 out of the roadway to avoid a deer. MATLOCK “During my investigation, Mr. Matlock was unsteady on his feet, lethargic speech, and was unable to follow instructions during the investigation,” Tunnell said. “I asked Mr. Matlock to do a standardized field sobriety test, which he performed poorly.”

Tunnell added, “Mr. Matlock also had his 10year-old son in the vehicle while driving under the influence.” No injuries were reported as a result of the wreck. Matlock submitted to a blood test. Aside from DUI and reckless endangerment, he was also charged with failure to exercise due care. His bond was set at $8,500 and he was arraigned Monday in Hawkins County Sessions Court. An August 22 trial date was scheduled.

Greene County trio nabbed in Hawkins after meth, pills allegedly found during DUI stop By JEFF BOBO jbobo@timesnews.net

RO GERSVILLE — A DUI traffic stop early Sunday resulted in three arrests on drug charges, including a man who allegedly had to be forcibly prevented from eating what police suspected to be drugs. Tommy Dean Nelson, a passenger in the vehicle, allegedly refused commands from Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office deputies to stop eating an unknown substance from a green bag. Upon being detained, Nelson told officers the substance was “jewelry.” Shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday, HCSO Cpl. Jeremy Nash spotted a silver Honda traveling south on Route 66 in Rogersville allegedly cross the center line several times before turning left into the oncoming traffic lane. Nash conducted a traffic stop. He said the driver, Randy Lee Mercer, 47, 86 Laws Road, Greeneville, stated he was going to Greeneville, but couldn’t say where he was. Mercer also had slurred speech and performed poorly on field sobriety

tests, Nash added. Mercer was placed under arrest for DUI, at which time police conducted a search of his vehicle. Nash allegedly recovered 14 alprazolam pills, nine hydrocodone pills, a small amount of marijuana in two baggies, 223 clear baggies, and about a quarter-

gram of meth. Aside from DUI, Mercer was charged with two counts of possession of Schedule II narcotics with intent to deliver, possession of Schedule IV narcotics, simple possession of marijuana, three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, driving left of center, violation of the implied consent law, and tampering with evidence for a

glass pipe reportedly found stuffed into the patrol car seat cushion where he was seated. Mercer’s bond was set at $50,000. He was arraigned Monday, and his next court date is set for May 9. Nelson, 25, 6920 Andrew Johnson Highway Apt. 4, Greeneville, was treated in the Hawkins County Memorial Hospital emergency room before being booked into jail. He was charged with possession of Schedule II narcotics with intent to deliver, tampering with evidence and resisting arrest. Nelson’s bond was set at $50,000. He was arraigned Monday, and his next court date is set for May 9. A second passenger in the vehicle, Kayla Dawn Barnett, 24, 970 Fish Pond Road, Greeneville, was charged with possession of Schedule II narcotics, possession of Schedule IV narcotics, possession of drug paraphernalia, and tampering with evidence for a glass pipe allegedly found in the patrol car seat cushion where she was seated. Barnett’s bond was set at $2,000. She was arraigned Monday, and her next court date is set for May 9.

Hollywood hits reset button on video game movies By DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer

and stayed true to what made the game franchise a victory. “It’s crucial for anyone who works with the worlds and characters that we created to fully understand them,” said Ted Price, CEO of Insomniac Games. “We had lots of open conversations with everyone working on the project. As game creators, we always want to tell more stories. This was just another way to do that for an audience that’s hungry for it.” O ver the past 20 years, game publishers have typically handed over movie rights to Hollywood with little to no creative control. While the results have sometimes hit the mark (“Tomb Raider,” ‘‘Resident Evil”), they’re usually unsuccessful undertakings that veer way off course from the originals (“Doom,” ‘‘Double Dragon.”) Shawn Layden, president of Sony Interactive Entertainment America, said he’s been working with Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment to faithfully adapt “Ratchet & Clank” and silly stealth series “Sly Cooper” into animated films, as well with his colleagues at Sony Pictures to craft live-action versions of treasure-hunting adventure “Uncharted” and postapocalyptic saga “The Last of Us.” “I’m old enough to remember a time when people thought it was crazy to make movies out of comic books,” said Layden. “That’s certainly changed over the last decade. The really great games now have narratives featuring all sorts of age-old storytelling tropes. It’s become another great fountain of content that can be applied across other media.” ‘THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE’ The largest leap for a gamebased film this year will be from

LOS ANGELES — At long last, it seems Hollywood has pushed the reset button on its approach to video game adaptations. From the reviled 1993 live-action rendition of “Super Mario Bros.” to last year’s loathed arcade-inspired “Pixels,” bigscreen interpretations of games have almost always failed to score with critics and audiences. With four films based on popular interactive series set for release in 2016, could this finally be the year video game movies win over filmgoers? After decades of commercial and critical pitfalls when attempting to turn games into movies, Hollywood is trying out a few bold new strategies in an effort to tap the interactive medium for the latest hit movie franchise, including hiring A-list talent and collaborating more closely with game makers to rework their immersive creations for movie theaters. ‘RATCHET & CLANK’ The first to launch is an animated film out Friday based on Insomniac Games’ zany platforming series for Sony’s PlayStation systems, starring wise-cracking alien tinkerer Ratchet and his witty robot sidekick Clank. The game creators didn’t simply foist their 14-year-old franchise onto filmmakers. They insisted on joining forces. “Ratchet & Clank” features several of the interactive series’ original voice actors with a story by former Insomniac Games senior writer T.J. Fixman. The game studio also outsourced a few of their own artists to work with the film’s animators to guarantee their intergalactic romp looked

Toby Kebbell voices the character of Durotan in the film ‘Warcraft,’ based on the Blizzard Entertainment video game. smartphones to multiplexes. Columbia Pictures, a division of Sony, will spread its wings May 20 with “The Angry Birds Movie.” The full-length animated film features Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad and Danny McBride voicing a trio of feathered characters inspired by Rovio Entertainment’s mobile gaming sensation. “Back in 2009 when we first created ‘Angry Birds,‘ we made it deliberately character based so that if it were successful, we could take it beyond games,” said Mikael Hed, executive chairman at Rovio Animation studios and former CEO of Rovio Entertainment. “We actually have been holding back on the backstory of this world until now. It’s wonderful we’re going to be able to tell it now in this way.” ‘WARCRAFT’ For a live-action version of the role-playing odyssey “Warcraft,”

Legendary Entertainment and series creator Blizzard Entertainment turned to “Moon” and “Source Code” director Duncan Jones, who’s actually logged countless hours playing games from the 21-year-old fantasy series. The film starring Travis Fimmel is scheduled to debut June 10. “It’s not unlike adapting a novel or a comic book,” said Jones. “I believe I’m a serious filmmaker. I know what it is I want to do with this movie. The source material is not what’s going to decide whether a movie I make is good or bad. It’s how I treat it and what I do with it.” ‘ASSASSIN’S CREED’ After losing its footing with the Disney film “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time” starring Jake Gyllenhaal in 2010, game publisher Ubisoft launched a film division in 2011 to independently trans-

form its own game franchises into movies. The first is “Assassin’s Creed,” which is scheduled for release Dec. 21 and stars Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. “I think we’ve done something pretty original,” said Fassbender. “All of the stunt work, when we were out in Malta, was happening on site in real locations with stunt teams that are absolutely amazing.

Sister says Prince had no known will Ripa says uproar Tyka Nelson has filed court documents asking a Minnesota court over Strahan’s to appoint a special administrator to oversee the musician’s estate exit now settled By RYAN NAKASHIMA and STEVE KARNOWSKI Associated Press

This undated photo released by Yamaha Entertainment Group shows a custom-made purple piano the company manufactured for musician Prince. Days before his death, Prince tweeted a photo of the piano intended to be a centerpiece of his scheduled tour. ness built up around Prince 60 years from now like James Dean? The answer is unequivocally yes,” Roesler said Friday. If Prince filed a will or created a trust, heirs to his future fortune would be known. But no such documents have yet turned up. Under Minnesota law, a person can file a will with probate court in secret. If Prince did so, the fact one exists would become public once a death certificate is filed, but the medical examiner has not yet issued one for Prince. An autopsy was conducted Friday and his remains were cremated Saturday. L. Londell McMillan, a longtime lawyer and former manager of the super-

star, declined to comment Monday to The Associated Press about whether the entertainer had a will or any other particulars regarding his estate, but added: “I want to make sure his legacy is respected and protected no matter what role I play.” Several other attorneys who have done work for Prince in the past — including Alan Eidsness, who handled his 2006 divorce from Manuela Testolini Nelson — said they were not handling his estate. Prince wasn’t married and had no known living children. Nelson is his only full-sibling, though he has five half-siblings (two other half-siblings have died) who could share in his es-

MINNEAP O LIS — Prince’s sister says the superstar musician had no known will and she filed paperwork Tuesday asking a Minnesota court to appoint a special administrator to oversee his estate, though the size of his fortune is unclear. Tyka Nelson, Prince’s only surviving full sibling, said in her filing that immediate action was necessary to manage Prince’s business interests following his death last week. Prince made hundreds of millions of dollars for record companies, concert venues and others, and he owned about $27 million in property in Minnesota. Nelson asked that Bremer Trust, a corporate trust company, be named administrator of the estate. The court documents say Bremer Bank provided financial services to Prince for many years. Nelson’s filing said both Prince’s assets and debts are unknown, but said he had “substantial assets” that require protection. The filing comes less than a week after the pop star died Thursday at his home in suburban Minneapolis. The outpouring of grief and nostalgia prompted fans to buy 2.3 million of his songs in three days. Prince owned a dozen properties in and around his famous Paisley Park complex in suburban Minneapolis: mostly rural pieces of land and some houses for family members. Public records show those properties were worth about $27 million in 2016. Estimates of how much licensing his personal brand will bring in after death reach to the purple clouds. “He was as big as they get,” said Mark Roesler, chief executive of CMG Worldwide, which handles licensing for the estates of Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and other late stars. Roesler estimates Prince’s post-mortem earnings will match top-earning dead celebrities like Elvis Presley, whose estate made $55 million in 2015, according to Forbes magazine. “Will there be a busi-

tate if he has no will. The AP did not find liens or mortgages on any of his properties, which range from a sprawling 160acre piece of grassland between Lake Lucy and Lake Ann, to a three-bedroom bungalow in Minneapolis that is home to his half brother, Omarr Baker. Prince sold over 100 million albums in his lifetime, according to Warner Music Group. And Pollstar, a concert industry magazine, said that in the years that his tours topped the charts — 10 years over four decades performing — the tours raked in $225 million in ticket bestearning touring year, when he took in $87.4 million, was 2004, the year he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and two decades after the soundtrack to “Purple Rain” went multi-platinum. But what remained in Prince’s hands is, by any estimate, less than the sum of ticket and album sales. In every record deal, a cut goes to the label, background performers and music publishers, though Prince published and wrote his own songs. Concert ticket revenue is split among the venue, the promoter, staff and the cost of travelling around. And Prince was known to throw expensive parties.

NEW YORK — Kelly Ripa returned to her daytime talk show Tuesday after time off to “gather (her) thoughts” after learning her cohost Michael Strahan was leaving, saying the incident had started a conversation about workplace respect. She also said her bosses had apologized to her, and she’d received assurances that the “Live with Kelly and Michael” show was important to the parent Walt Disney Co. “Guys, calm down, they didn’t say anything about Christmas bonuses,” she joked after the audience applauded. Ripa was reportedly upset that she learned only a few minutes before the public last Tuesday that Strahan, her co-host since 2012, was leaving in September for a full-time job with ABC’s “Good Morning America.” He works part-time on the morning news show now and executives there are looking for a way to turn

around fading ratings. Ripa skipped Wednesday and Thursday’s show, and said she had a scheduled vacation Friday and Monday. “I needed a couple of days to gather my thoughts,” she said after returning to a standing ovation from the audience. “After 26 years with this company, I’ve earned that right.” She said the time helped her gain some perspective and that “apologies have been made.” She didn’t say who apologized and ABC officials haven’t publicly admitted to blowing the transition. “What happened was extraordinary,” she said. “It started a much greater conversation about communication and consideration and, most importantly, respect in the workplace. I don’t consider this a workplace. This is my second home.” Strahan said he was happy Ripa was back. “If there’s one thing I know about you, you love the show, you love the staff, you love your fans and I love you,” Strahan said.

A fence post went through the driver’s side of the windshield Tuesday afternoon when Dreama Stacy struck a fence and then ruptured a gas line on State Route 70N.

Hawkins woman escapes death after car hits fence By JEFF BOBO jbobo@timesnews.net

RO GERSVILLE — A Hawkins County woman may wake up with a headache this morning, but she’s lucky to still have a head following what police describe as a DUI wreck Tuesday afternoon on Route 70 north of Rogersville that threw a fence post through the driver’s side of her windshield. She also hit an above ground gas line, causing a leak serious enough to force the evacuation of a nearby residence. Luckily, the escaping gas didn’t ignite. Around 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, Dreama Kaye Stacy, 35, 385 Sulphur Springs Road, Rogersville, was traveling north on Route 70 when she failed to negotiate a curve about a quarter-mile north of Hickory Cove Baptist Church near the Pressmens Home community. Tennessee Highway

Patrol Trooper Robert Greer told the TimesNews that Stacy, who was driving STACY a convertible with the top down, went off the left side of the roadway, through a ditch, through a fence, and then hit a natural gas line pressure reducer that was sticking out of the ground. Hawkins County EMA Director Gary Murrell said it was a miracle that the post didn’t strike Stacy’s head. “The car had a fence rail that went right through the driver’s windshield, right in where the driver’s compartment is,” Murrell said. “How it missed her, I don’t know.” Greer said Stacy told him that a tire blew, which caused the accident.

Upon speaking to Stacy, however, Greer said he smelled alcohol on her breath. She reportedly performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was arrested for DUI and failure to exercise due care. The gas line rupture forced emergency personnel to close Route 70N for

more than an hour while the gas company capped the line. O ne nearby residence was evacuated until the leak could be stopped. “We had a serious situation there for a short time,” Murrell said. “O ne of the emergency responders arrived on the scene, and the gas was so thick it got into

O P X B E JO R I A F

the diesel engine and shut that engine off. It could have blown, but it didn’t, and luckily we didn’t have any issues. The gentleman from the gas company worked very diligently to get it capped.” Murrell added, “It was temporarily sealed, but we couldn’t reopen the road until they brought in a

backhoe and dug down to a valve on the main line that they could shut off while they cut and threaded new pipe.” Responding agencies included the Striggersville Volunteer Fire Department, Hawkins County EMS, Hawkins County EMA, Hawkins County Gas, the THP, and the HCSO.

Dobyns-Bennett’s senior softball players and their families gather on the field at Indian Highland Park prior to Tuesday’s Big 7 game against Tennessee High in Kingsport.

Lady Indians celebrate Senior Night in style

D-B keeps pressure on in league race with 7-3 win against Tennessee High By STEVE WILMOTH TriCitiesSports.com

KINGSPO RT — Nine heralded freshmen entered the Dobyns-Bennett softball program four years ago. Those same nine celebrated Senior Day with a 7-3 victory over Tennessee High on Tuesday at Indian Highland Park. That staying power will be remembered by Lady Indians senior leader Abby Stratton as much as the 89 wins now collectively tallied by the group. “Having all these seniors still with me and having us all going out together, I don’t feel like I’m leaving anything behind,” Stratton said. “It’s been a blessing to have all nine of us come in as freshmen, have everybody hang around and make it.”

Assistant coach Mike Sweeney said they didn’t just “make” it. They excelled both on and off the field. “It’s a bit of a marathon in both aspects,” said Sweeney, who continues to direct the team in coach Andy Hubbard’s absence. “They work really hard as students at Dobyns-Bennett. Their grade points are all high 3s or 4s. They are AP students and have won scholarships, so they not only made it through the softball program, they made it through DobynsBennett High School in fine standing. “They are good character kids, good talented kids, good academic kids. We are going to miss them in a variety of ways.” Still there was business to take care of Tuesday, and that was notching a win over See LADY INDIANS, PAGE 5C

Tribe settles for draw after missed chances vs. Vikings By JOHN MOOREHOUSE TriCitiesSports.com

Dobyns-Bennett’s Jordan Broadwater unloads for a goal against Tennessee High on Tuesday in Big 7 soccer action in Kingsport.

KINGSPO RT — The final record will show that Tennessee High and Dobyns-Bennett battled to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday at the Indian Highland Park pitch. With regard to the Big 7 Conference soccer title race, however, it was a win for the Vikings — and a galling loss for the Indians. Tennessee High (5-2-1, 3-0-1) remained undefeated in the league and, barring an upset down the stretch, sits very well positioned to win what’s believed to be the first conference hardware in program history. Meanwhile, barring some very wacky results in the final leg of the regular season, the Indians (11-1-1, 3-1-1) are looking at a third-place finish as their best-case scenario. That would

position D-B to face Science Hill in the semifinals of the district tournament in a game where the loser would be eliminated from postseason. “We had an opportunity tonight and we squandered that opportunity,” Indians coach Blake Rutherford said. “In this game … you don’t get many opportunities. The third big opportunity we’ll have is Science Hill in the district tournament and if you don’t win that one, you’re on vacation.” Tennessee High closes its regular-season docket against Daniel Boone and David Crockett, and while nothing is guaranteed, it would be a huge upset if the Vikings fell against either. “We’re certainly not looking past anybody,” THS coach Mark Quickel said. “We don’t want to risk any slip-ups.” The Vikings struck quickly for their lone goal. In the fourth

minute, Aidan Moore fired a blistering shot. A.J. Robbins, the Indians’ keeper, dove to make the save, but the ball glanced into the back corner of the net. “That was a big thing I stressed — get a goal quick, get them on their heels, and we can dictate the game,” Quickel said. D-B had a couple of chances in the ensuing minutes but tied the score in the 18th on a penalty kick by Jordan Broadwater, stemming from a foul on Matt Diminick in the box. Both teams had opportunities in the subsequent 60 minutes — though it could be argued the Tribe had a greater quantity of chances — but neither side could find the back of the net the rest of the way. “The PK, we equalized and then I thought we played much

ETSU wins second consecutive SoCon team golf championship By JOE AVENTO NET News Service

PINEHURST, N.C. — Winning isn’t supposed to be easy, and the East Tennessee State men’s golf team proved that in a big way on Tuesday. The Bucs won the Southern Conference tournament by one stroke at Pinehurst No. 9, and the championship wasn’t secured until Adrian Meronk tapped in a par putt on the final hole, a putt that also gave him the individual title and his second consecutive SoCon player of the year award. “What a crazy day,” ETSU coach Fred Warren said. “We threw away a lot of shots the first two days, which I was hoping wouldn’t cost us. Then we threw away more today. Fortunately,

we have Adrian and he deserves All-American honors. I’m proud of the guys.” The Bucs shot 11-over 299 in the final round to finish at 12 over for 54 holes. They held off UNC Greensboro, the team they beat in a playoff for last year’s title, by one shot. “I knew it was close at the end, and I knew a couple of guys didn’t finish well,” said Warren, who was voted the conference cocoach of the year along with Wofford’s Vic Lipscomb. “We survived. I’m just delighted. It makes the ride home a lot shorter.” ETSU earned the SoCon’s automatic NCAA bid. Regionals will be played May 16-18 and bids will be announced May 5 on the Golf Channel’s Morning Drive. Meronk shot his second con-

secutive 3-under-par 69 to finish at 6 under. He got a little help on the final hole to notch his fifth collegiate victory, tying him with Garrett Willis and Seamus Power for second in program history. Meronk stepped to the 18th tee one shot behind Wofford’s Jeremy Grab. But Grab hit his tee shot out of bounds, giving the Polish ETSU star the opening he needed. Meronk drove into the left rough and kept his 5-iron shot into the green under the strong wind. The ball landed on the center of the green, leading to a routine par. That was all he and the Bucs needed. When Grab two-putted for a double bogey, Meronk was the champion. “It feels good, especially in my

Joe Avento/NET News Service

The East Tennessee State men’s golf team, coached by Fred Warren, left, poses with the Southern Conference championship trophy after Tuesday’s victory in Pinehurt, N.C. senior year,” Meronk said. “That was our goal, to win two in a row. I got a gift on the last hole. That’s golf.” It was the Bucs’ 19th SoCon title and their 24th overall conference championship, counting their days in the O hio Valley Conference and Atlantic Sun. Meronk became ETSU’s 13th

SoCon individual champion. Also for ETSU, Mateusz Gradecki shot 74, and Gudmundur Kristjansson shot Ratliff and Geuntae Kim both shot 81, and one of them counted in the team score. They both made triple-bogeys on the 18th hole, making the finish closer than it might have been. Page Design/Andrea Hensley

This year’s draft front-runners are clear. The only drama left: Who goes to the Rams at No. 1? WENTZ

GOFF 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, California Notable: Set Pac-12 records with 4,719 passing yards and 43 touchdowns last season. Strengths: Quick release and maintains solid accuracy whether throwing short, intermediate or deep. Will stand and deliver in the face of pressure and moves well within the pocket. Weaknesses: Toughness is admirable, but he takes too many hits. He fumbled 24 times in three seasons. Some of that is poor recognition of when to get rid of the ball. Played almost exclusively from the shotgun. Outlook: Could be the No. 1 overall pick.

6-5, 237, North Dakota State Notable: Led the Bison to FCS national title in only two seasons as a starter. Strengths: Ideal size, strong arm and above-average athleticism. Physically, he is everything an NFL team wants a quarterback to be. Played under center a lot in NDSU's offense. At the combine, Wentz impressed teams with his confident demeanor and understanding of the game. Weaknesses: He hasn't faced big-time competition. Can all the tools translate and improve when he does? Outlook: The Rams are going to take a quarterback at No. 1, Wentz or Goff. Wentz had more upside. Goff seems less risky. The one the Rams pass on is unlikely to slip past the top 10.

OTHER TOP PICKS

JOEY BOSA

JALEN RAMSEY

LAREMY TUNSIL

DE, 6-5, 269, Ohio State

CB/S, 6-1, 209, Florida State

OT, 6-5, 310, Mississippi

Notable: Sacks dropped off from 13 1-2 in 2014 to five last season, but still played at an All-America level. Strengths: Rarely takes a play at less than max effort. Fast and strong hands keep blockers from locking him up.

Notable: Started three years for the Seminoles, each season in a different secondary spot. Strengths: If you could engineer a defensive back, Ramsey would be it. Size, speed and athleticism are all ideal. Played cornerback and safety and was used as a hybrid, playing almost like a linebacker.

Notable: Missed most of last season due to an NCAA infraction, but played at top form when he did. Strengths: Quick feet and hands help him neutralize speed rushers. Reads and anticipates rush moves. Moves well and can wipe out linebackers on the second level.

Lynch could be highest QB drafted out of Memphis By TERESA M. WALKER AP Pro Football Writer

MEMPHIS — Desperate for a quarterback, Justin Fuente heard of Paxton Lynch thanks to a note an administrator left on the new Memphis coach’s desk. Few video clips existed of the quarterback actually throwing a football, so Fuente sent assistant Darrell Dickey to Florida to meet Lynch. “Luckily for us, he didn’t have a lot going on recruiting-wise,” Fuente said. “We went ahead and offered him, and obviously happy that we did.” Now Lynch is poised to be among the top quarterbacks drafted Thursday night and the highest ever selected from Memphis. Not bad for someone who taught himself the mechanics of playing quarterback and who learned how to throw a football by how he tossed a baseball. “I definitely taught myself how to do everything as a quarter-

back,” Lynch said. “I never had a quarterback coach growing up in high school or anything like that.” The QB who had only two LYNCH offers coming out of Trinity Christian Academy in Deltona, Fla., has visited with 12 NFL teams ranging from Philadelphia, now picking No. 2 overall, to Super Bowl champion Denver at No. 31. Winning MVP at the Central Florida All-Star game may have been the performance that helped Lynch get noticed after he missed the first half of his senior season with a knee injury. O nce Memphis called, Lynch started studying, too. The school sent running back DeAngelo Williams and defensive tackle Dontari Poe to the NFL, but Steve Matthews was the last quarter-

back drafted from the Tigers, going in the fifth round to Kansas City in 1994. “I just knew Memphis because I’d seen their basketball team,” Lynch said. “I didn’t know anything about the football team.” Fuente’s work with Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton at TCU persuaded Lynch to sign. “I knew he did a good job with Andy Dalton, developing him and giving him a chance to go to the next level, and I knew I’d have an opportunity to do the same thing,” Lynch said. Lynch arrived on campus a gangly 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds. Fuente promptly redshirted the quarterback despite being in the midst of rebuilding a program that went 3-21 before the coach was hired. Lynch improved rapidly, growing another inch and packing on 20 pounds. Lynch moved into the starting lineup as a redshirt freshman in 2013 and never left. He beat BYU in the Miami Beach Bowl to end

the 2014 season and was even better in 2015. He led an upset of Mississippi and tied an NCAA record by throwing seven touchdown passes to seven different receivers against SMU in his final home game. Lynch threw for 3,778 yards, completing 69.1 percent of his passes with 28 TD passes and only four interceptions. Then Fuente left for Virginia Tech, leaving Dickey to coach the Tigers in the Birmingham Bowl. Memphis lost to Auburn behind an ugly performance from Lynch: just 16 completions for 106 yards against an Southeastern Conference defense. “Paxton’s too professional and too proud to make excuses for it, but I will,” Fuente said. “That was just a tough deal.” Lynch bypassed his senior season and entered the draft, signing with agent Leigh Steinberg. He prepped for the NFL combine by working with Charlie Taaffe to refine everything from calling

plays, working under center and dropping back to pass. He drew about 25 NFL scouts to his pro day April 6 and visited with teams through April 20. “Paxton has the highest upside of any of the quarterbacks in the draft and fits into the new vogue of quarterbacks Cam Newton, Ben Roethlisberger,” Steinberg said. “Great size, strength. But in his case, the athleticism to move out of the pocket and escape the rush. You rarely see someone that’s that tall, that’s that size, with the ability to run like a much smaller player.” Lynch certainly feels Memphis prepared him for the NFL. Fuente had him dropping back to pass, throwing from a moving pocket, huddling his teammates and calling plays under center over his three seasons while also running the spread offense. “I’ve tasted everything and (it) showed me I could do anything as long as I had an opportunity to work at it,” Lynch said.

QB Manziel indicted in alleged attack on his former girlfriend Associated Press

DALLAS — An attorney for Johnny Manziel calls the indictment against the former Cleveland Browns and said Tuesday that the way it’s been handled so far suggests there are problems with the case. Manziel was indicted Tuesday on allegations by ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley that he hit her and threatened to kill her in late January. Crowley said in court documents that Manziel struck her so hard that she temporarily lost hearing in one ear, and the indictment accuses him “forcing (her) into a vehicle and against a vehicle dashboard.” Manziel faces a charge of misdemeanor assault related to family violence, which carries up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine. Manziel’s attorneys said Tuesday that their client will plead not guilty.

One of the attorneys, Robert Hinton, told The Associated Press that he thought police and prosecutors had treated the case as though they didn’t want it to go forward. Lawyers who aren’t involved in the case have noted that Dallas police chose to refer their case to a grand jury rather than arrest Manziel outright, which is unusual for misdemeanor cases. “If this were Johnny Smith, the district attorney’s office would have declined to accept the case, in my judgment,” Hinton said by phone Tuesday. “This is not a very credible case. As a matter of fact, it’s incredible. There’s just not much to it.” Hinton said he did not anticipate making a deal in the case before trial and that talks of any deal were premature. Manziel was in Los Angeles Tuesday but was expected to present himself for booking Thursday or Friday, once the case is formally as-

signed to a judge and bond is set, Hinton said. “He’s got a great attitude,” he said. “He’s ready to face it and do what we need to do to defend him.” Crowley was granted a protective order that requires Manziel to not see her for two years, stay at least 500 feet from her home and place of work and pay $12,000 in legal fees. Manziel was cut by the Browns in March after two tumultuous seasons marked by inconsistent play and offfield headlines about his partying and drinking, including one stint in rehab. His future in the NFL is uncertain, at best, and might be nonexistent without a second stint in treatment that two agents have demanded. The league also has tougher standards regarding domestic violence cases after revising its policy in August 2014 following the Ray Rice case, which could complicate any attempt by Manziel to return.

Even after trading No. 1 overall selection, Titans have shot at top-10 pick By JASON WOLF The Tennessean

NASHVILLE — After months of preparation for the NFL draft, from scouting college games to the Senior Bowl to the combine to pro days to private visits, the Tennessee Titans’ board is all but set. First-year general manager Jon Robinson has a strong idea of the prospects who should still be available when the Titans hand their card to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday night and select the next franchise cornerstone with the 15th overall pick in the first round. Perhaps that should read “if” the Titans pick at 15th. With two trades already consummated since Robinson was hired in January — including dealing the No. 1 overall pick to the Rams for a bevy of selections over the next two years — there’s no telling if the Titans will stay put. Robinson has been clear that he’ll continue to explore opportunities to move around the draft board, whether jumping up to nab a player he covets or dropping back to accumulate additional assets. With six of the first 76 picks — Nos. 15, 33, 43, 45, 64 and 76 — he owns the capital to do so. “You have to gauge not only the teams in front of you but the teams that are behind you, as well,” he said. “They’re trying to do what’s best for their football team, as well. So you just monitor the situation, and if you think it’s in the best interest of the team to strike and go up for the guy, then do it.” Here’s a look at three potential trade partners, if the Titans choose to hop back into the top 10, and what such a trade might look like, using the Jimmy Johnson draft trade value chart: 3) CHARGERS The Titans dealt the top pick to the Rams and the Browns traded No. 2 to the Eagles, setting the stage for quarterbacks Jared Goff and Carson Wentz to be drafted with the first two picks. That also leaves the Chargers with the ability to select the top position player available. Will they? Each of the last three times the first two selections were traded — in and ’97 — the third overall pick was also dealt, according to NFL Network. The Titans, who were likely considering either Mississippi left tackle Laremy Tunsil or Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey when they held the top overall selection, could still wind up with their guy. But leaping from No. 15 to third overall won’t come cheap. Potential trade Titans get: No. 3 overall

Chargers get: No. 15 overall, two second-round picks (33, 45) and a third-rounder (76) This scenario would still leave the Titans with a pick in each of the first three rounds this season (Nos. 3, 43 and 64), plus the Rams’ first- and third-round picks next season (acquired by trading out of No. 1). 8) BROWNS Not long after the Titans traded the No. 1 selection to the Rams, the Browns followed suit. But Cleveland only dropped from second to eighth — the Titans plummeted to No. 15 — and could be looking to squeeze additional value out of their top-10 selection. The Browns’ new front office, and particularly former Major League Baseball executive Paul DePodesta (of “Moneyball” fame), understands the value in quantity when it comes to the draft, and the Browns could use extra picks after letting a number of players leave in free agency. Tunsil and Ramsey won’t likely be available at this point, but Notre Dame left tackle Ronnie Stanley could be. Potential trade Titans get: No. 8 overall and the second pick of the fourth round (100) Browns get: No. 15 overall and a second-round pick (43) This scenario provides Cleveland with a valuable second-round pick and returns to the Titans their original fourth-round selection, which they dealt to the Eagles to acquire running back DeMarco Murray. (The Eagles, in turn, shipped it to the Browns.) Tennessee does not own a fourth-round pick. 9) BUCCANEERS Could Robinson swing a trade with his former team? Robinson and Bucs GM Jason Licht, longtime friends and colleagues, came up through the Patriots organization and believe in making bold moves, if they make sense. Tampa Bay owns seven selections, one in each of the first five rounds. Experts say this draft is loaded with value in the second and third rounds, making selections in that range particularly attractive. By dropping six spots, the Bucs could wind up drafting an additional starter. The Titans, at nine, could target Stanley or Michigan State tackle Jack Conklin. Potential trade Titans get: No. 9 overall, a fourthrounder (108) and a fifth (148) Bucs get: No. 15 overall and a second-rounder (45) This scenario entices the Bucs, who pick up an additional second-round selection, while the Titans get the fourth-round pick they lack and add a fifth.

Former Mississippi left tackle Laremy Tunsil speaks during a news conference at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis on Feb. 24. The NFL draft begins Thursday night.

Tunsil ready for whatever NFL draft throws his way Associated Press

O XFO RD, Miss. — Former Mississippi left tackle Laremy Tunsil spent his final Saturday before the NFL draft a couple miles from his college home, signing footballs, miniature blue helmets and Tshirts while talking and posing for pictures at a local apparel store. As one man wrapped up his short conversation with Tunsil, he repeated a sentiment expressed by about a dozen other fans over the previous few hours. “I’ll support you wherever you go,” he said, “but it sure would have been fun to make that short drive and watch you play in Nashville. I thought that was going to happen.” Tunsil nodded and flashed a wide smile he handed a signed football back to the man. The 6-foot-5, 310-pound left tackle isn’t going to sugarcoat it: He thought he was going to end up in Nashville, too. But last week, Tunsil received a crash course in the business of the NFL. The Tennessee Titans traded the No. 1 pick to the Los Angeles Rams, who will almost certainly want a quarterback with the top pick. The Philadelphia Eagles also moved up in a likely search for a QB, grabbing the No. 2 pick in a trade with Cleveland. Suddenly, Tunsil’s future became a lot more uncertain. “I’m human — it hurt,” Tun-

sil said. “Because (Nashville’s) the place you thought you would be going. Plus, it’s the No. 1 pick and they needed a left tackle. Your goal growing up is to be the first pick, so when they traded it, it hurts. But hey, it’s football. “I just want to play football and I just want to get picked.” That’s probably going to happen fairly soon Thursday night when the draft begins in Chicago. San Diego might want a left tackle with the No. 3 pick. Jacksonville at No. 5 or Baltimore, picking at No. 6, are other possible landing spots. Tunsil is trying not to think too much about his future and just embrace whatever happens over the next week. O le Miss offensive line coach Matt Luke says whoever drafts Tunsil is getting a potential franchise-changing player. “He’s a good mixture of exactly how you would want to build an offensive lineman,” Luke said. “He’s not loud and he’s not cocky, but he’s extremely confident and thrives on competition.” And then there’s his uncanny athleticism. It’s what made O le Miss coach Hugh Freeze comfortable calling a memorable play during this year’s Sugar Bowl, when quarterback Chad Kelly faked right and then turned to throw a lateral to Tunsil in the open field. The 310-pounder deftly adjusted to the ball’s flight and caught it with ease, trotting into the end zone just before halftime as his teammates

went nuts. It was a satisfying ending after a difficult season — Tunsil had to sit out the season’s first seven games after the NCAA ruled he received improper benefits, including the use of three loaner cars over a six-month period. “That’s certainly the only touchdown I’ve ever thrown to my left tackle,” Kelly said. “But we had practiced that play so many times we were almost bored with it. I’ve watched him make onehanded catches in practice. He’s just an athletic freak.” Tunsil said his ability to move laterally and keep up with defensive ends dates back to his high school days in Lake City, Fla. He was a post player on his basketball team and said he averaged about 15 points per game. Tunsil’s pass blocking has been universally praised during his time at O le Miss; he gave up just two sacks over a 28-game career. But there were some concerns about his upper body strength and ability to push people around in the running game. Then he went out on pro day and did 34 repetitions of 225 pounds on the bench press, even surprising his coaches in the process. That mark would have tied for the top spot at the NFL combine in February. “That’s the good thing about this sport. There’s always a chance to prove people wrong,” Tunsil said. “I love doing that.”

‘Deflategate’ saga far from over if Brady chooses to keep fighting Associated Press

Tom Brady won Round 1. The NFL won Round 2. Round 3, anyone? The “Deflategate” saga will continue if Brady insists on fighting his fourgame suspension. There’s no reason to think he’s willing to accept it despite long odds to win another court battle and the possibility that more litigation can drag on into next year. Manhattan Judge Richard Berman overturned the suspension last September, allowing Brady to play the 2015 season. A three-judge panel of a fed-

eral appeals court ruled 2-to1 on Monday in favor of the NFL and Commissioner BRADY Roger Goodell, reinstating the suspension. But that doesn’t mean the New England Patriots definitely won’t have their four-time Super Bowl champion quarterback the first month of the season. Here’s what can happen next:

■ The NFL Players Association has two weeks to ask the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan to rehear the case or the union can request the entire 2nd Circuit hears it. If either agreed to do so, then the NFLPA could ask for a stay of Monday’s ruling and the court could agree or could turn down the request. ■ The union could appeal directly to the Supreme Court, though it’s unlikely the court would consider it. ■ Brady and the NFL could reach a compromise, change the terms of the

punishment and reduce the suspension. The league wanted to negotiate a settlement with Brady from the start, but he was adamant he did nothing wrong and wanted to clear his name. A

reduced suspension probably means Brady would have to agree to some wrongdoing and apologize for failing to cooperate with the investigation by not turning over his cellphone.

So far, Brady has refused to take this path. If the courts aren’t willing to hear his appeal, he may have no other choice than to sit down with Goodell and work out a solution.

Warriors’ hit parade too much for C40 rival ’Pack From staff reports

Dobyns-Bennett’s Meghan Pratt makes a running catch in the field during Tuesday’s Big 7 Conference matchup with Tennessee High in Kingsport.

LADY INDIANS Continued from 1C

the Lady Vikings in their last regular-season home contest and keep the pressure on first-place Daniel Boone in the Big 7 Conference race. With all nine seniors starting in a straight nine on Sweeney’s lineup card, the emotions from pregame ceremonies carried over for the Lady Indians (29-6, 8-2), who promptly chased Lady Vikings starting pitcher Yonna Worley with four runs in the first. Stratton’s two-run double scored Leah Taylor and Lyndsey Jones. Two outs later, Lily Gray clouted a towering, two-run homer over the left-field foul pole. “I felt good hitting it,” Gray said. “I didn’t really watch the ball, but it ended up being a home run. I didn’t heard anything for a second, then I heard a loud cheer.” Gray started in left field but saw time in right as Sweeney alternated Brianna Patterson and Jones at second base. “Coach Sweeney put Bree and Jonesy at second because that’s where they played over the years with me in right,” Gray noted. “So for the parents it was a chance for them to see us in the positions we had been playing. It felt really good that we could all play our positions and win.”

Stratton’s single in the second scored Jones, who had singled with two out, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error. “I hadn’t been hitting great, hadn’t been feeling like I was playing too well,” Stratton said. “Today, I just wanted to come out and enjoy myself playing on this field for the last time unless we get a region game here. “I don’t know what it was, I just felt good.” The emotions then seemed to fade for the Lady Indians. Tennessee High (10-21, 29) loaded the bases on two errors and a walk in the third. Madison Cook’s single scored a run. Malissa Perkins’ RBI groundout and Maddy Wolfe’s sacrifice fly followed, slicing the margin to 5-3. “A lot of good emotion from Senior Day, I think, and then the emotion went away and we came back down to earth,” Sweeney noted. “We kicked it around a little, couple of walks, just the standard things you can do keep teams in games. Hopefully we can clean that up a little bit.” The Lady Indians extended the lead to 7-3 in the fifth courtesy of three walks. Courtesy runner McCoy Hensley scored from third on an errant back-pick attempt and Pat-

terson later walked to force home Makayla Frye. Stratton finished 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and three driven in. Leadoff hitter Taylor walked twice and scored once. Jones finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Frye, Brooke Mohr and Meghan Pratt each contributed singles. In the circle, Marissa Honeycutt struck out six and walked two. All three Tennessee High runs were unearned. “This game on Senior Day was very important to us,” Honeycutt said. “We have all started since we were freshmen and we have four years under our belts. Now all of a sudden, we’re almost done and it’s a shocker. “Our goal is to go out as conference champs and we need to win our next two games to win the conference.” The Lady Indians play at Volunteer on Thursday with a potential showdown at first-place Daniel Boone looming next Monday. Big 7 championship or not, Stratton is proud that all nine seniors played vital roles in the growth and progression of the Lady Indians’ program the past four years. “I feel like we all made a difference in the legacy we are going to leave behind with the way we played our four years,” he said.

CLINTWO O D — Wise Central out 15 hits and got solid pitching performances from Tyler Muncy and Jake Flanery in a 13-1 road win over Conference 40 foe Ridgeview on Tuesday.

Burton 0 NO RTO N — Logan Austin broke a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth inning with a double that drove in two runs, and that was all the Spartans would need in their Conference 48 victory over the Raiders. Austin Smallwood picked up the win on the mound for Eastside, pitching seven scoreless innings and giving up only two hits. Matthew Jones went 2-for-2 with a double for J.I. Burton (7-4, 2-1).

Softball Sullivan East 14, Sullivan North 0 KINGSPO RT — Brooke McElyea picked up her 15th win of the season by pitching a two-hit shutout and striking out eight in the Lady Patriots’ dominant Three Rivers Conference win over the Lady Raiders.

Kelseay Smith went 2-for-4 with a run scored and four RBIs. Alyssa Bean and Katie Daniels each had a hit for Sullivan North.

Dobyns-Bennett’s Hayden Correll (19) battles a Tennessee High player during Tuesday’s Big 7 Conference match in Kingsport.

TRIBE Continued from 1C better in the second half,” Rutherford said. “O ur attacks were potent. “The big thing as a coach, you pride yourself on getting your team the opportunity, getting them in the right position. We’re doing that. We’re there. We just have to figure out how to take that next step and get over the hump.” While a tie was equivalent to a loss in the stand-

ings, D-B defender Drew Miller came up with a big play that prevented an actual defeat added to the Indians’ ledger. Late in the first half, he made a textbook slide tackle to disrupt a one-on-one opportunity for Tennessee High’s Corey Lavinder. D-B beat Tennessee High 4-0 earlier this season in a non-conference contest held as part of the Metcalf Cup. What changed this time?

“They really have a great midfield. That’s how they beat us, for sure,” Quickel said. “They punished us; they probably should have put more than that away.” “O ur midfield was where we held it strong,” Quickel said of Tuesday’s league rematch. Baker Hutton, Jake Slagle and O rlando Rosales are among those who loomed large in the middle of the field for the Vikings.

Warriors still positive even minus Curry

Warriors’ Kerr coach of the year OAKLAND, Calif. Steve Kerr was voted the NBA’s coach of the year on Tuesday after leading to the Golden State Warriors to the best regular-season record in league got 64 first-place votes from the panel of 130 media members who regularly cover the league. Portland’s Terry Stotts was second in relatively close voting. San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich was third. Golden State finished 73-9 this season, breaking the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record of 72-10 for the best record in league history. Kerr played for that Chicago team. Kerr missed the Warriors’ first 43 games this season while recovering from back surgeries, and in his absence the team was operated by assistant coach Luke Walton. Voters took notice of Walton’s work as well; he finished tied for eighth in the balloting.

Associated Press

O AKLAND, Calif. — Draymond Green is going to tell it like it is, and he insists these Golden State Warriors have few issues when it comes to confidence. Even playing without injured superstar Stephen Curry. “We’re still very confident. If I sat here and told you our confidence level is the same without Steph, that’s a lie,” Green said after Tuesday’s practice. “I think our confidence level with Steph is through the roof. It’s beyond high. Without Steph, it’s still out the roof. We’re not losing much confidence. We still believe in ourselves. We still think it’s very possible for us to make a run. We’re going to hold it down till he gets back.” Sure, losing Curry for likely two weeks or more is a significant blow to the defending champions. It stings to see the NBA’s MVP go down in the middle of the playoffs after a recordsetting regular season in which he became the first player to make 400 3pointers. “The great thing with Steph is I think he’s got perspective built in just from his family,” Steve Kerr said. “He knows what’s important. His health is extremely important but in the grand scheme of things, he’s healthy, he’s happy, he’s got a great wife and kids and family. “He’s probably going to be back playing basketball in a few weeks,” Kerr added. “It’s just a little bump in the road.” An MRI exam on Curry’s injured right knee showed a Grade 1 sprain of the MCL. Warriors general manager Bob Myers is estimating at least two weeks for the recovery period, but that’s merely a guess at this stage. “His spirits are high. He’s good,” Green said of Curry. “It seems like he’s moving a little better than he was yesterday.” At a minimum, Golden State would likely be without Curry — and his 30.1 scoring average — for the initial four games of the second round if the Warriors advance. They play Game 5 of their best-of-seven series with Houston tonight at Oracle Arena leading 31.

Toronto Raptors center Bismack Biyombo (8) battles Indiana Pacers guard Ty Lawson (10) for the ball during Game 5 of their first-round playoff series Tuesday in Toronto.

Raptors storm back, grab 3-2 series lead over Pacers Associated Press

TO RO NTO — DeMar DeRozan scored 34 points and the Toronto Raptors held on for a 102-99 victory over the Indiana Pacers and a 3-2 lead in their firstround series Tuesday night when Solomon Hill’s 3pointer was ruled after the buzzer. The Raptors overcame 39 points from Paul George and a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter, getting 14 points from Kyle Lowry. Bismack Biyombo had 10 points and 16 rebounds for the second-seeded Raptors, who can clinch the first seven-game playoff series victory in franchise history by beating the Pacers in Indiana on Friday night. George Hill had 15 points and Myles Turner 14 for the Pacers, who led by

as many as 17 and never trailed through the first three quarters before coming unglued in the fourth. Jonas Valanciunas scored 11 and rookie Norman Powell had 10 for Toronto. The Pacers made 13 of 29 shots from 3-point range but struggled from all over the floor in the fourth, making 4 of 15 attempts and scoring just nine points in the period. Trailing 90-77 to begin the fourth, the Raptors tied the game with a 15-2 run. Powell stole the ball from Monta Ellis and made a fast-break dunk to knot it at 92-all with 6:31 remaining, sending the sellout crowd of 19,800 into a frenzy. Toronto’s first six points of the fourth came with George on the bench. He checked back in with 8:36 left.

Tyndall places blame on former assistant By GRANT RAMEY Knoxville News Sentinel

KNO XVILLE — Donnie Tyndall’s defense boiled down to one name on Friday. During a nearly 90-minute appearance on WVLZ’s “The Tony Basilio Show,” the former Tennessee men’s basketball coach bluntly defended himself against the 10-year show-cause penalty the NCAA hit him with on April 8. The one name that kept coming up was Adam Howard. According to Tyndall, if Howard, a former graduate assistant and assistant coach of Tyndall’s, hadn’t lied to the NCAA, the show-cause never would’ve happened. Had Howard not changed his story, Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart never would’ve fired Tyndall. “And the sad thing is,” Tyndall said, “the things he said took place, as I said, were all disproved — unsubstantiated, uncorroborated. And yet, I lost my job.” The NCAA Committee on Infractions said Tyndall “acted unethically and failed to promote an atmosphere for compliance when he directed his staff to engage in academic misconduct.”

Howard had been with Tyndall at Morehead State, followed him to Southern Miss and later Tennessee. He resigned abruptly at Tennessee in November 2014, citing “personal reasons” following the NCAA’s investigation into Tyndall’s Southern MissisHoward did not respond to a message from the News Sentinel seeking response. Attempts to reach Tyndall were also unsuccessful. Tyndall said he “had to let (Howard) go” at Tennessee after Howard lied to the NCAA during the interview process to get immunity. “And the NCAA says (to Howard) we’re only to give you full immunity if you have stuff on Tyndall,” Tyndall added, “not on another graduate assistant, not an assistant coach. It has to be on Tyndall.” According to the NCAA’s report, Tyndall facilitated cash and prepaid credit card payments to players, fabricated a document to justify the payments to student-athletes and took other actions to thwart the investigation. Tyndall denied the allegations one by one. The six players interviewed by the NCAA, Tyndall

Elzy returning to Kentucky after parting ways with UT’s Warlick By DAN FLESER Knoxville News Sentinel

Associated Press

In this March 7, 2014, file photo, Tennessee coach Holly Warlick, left, celebrates with assistant coach Kyra Elzy after the Lady Vols’ 77-65 win over LSU in the SEC tournament in Duluth, Ga.

After Powell’s basket, neither team scored again until DeRozan hit a tiebreaking 3 with 4:15 remaining. After a missed 3 by Ellis, Cory Joseph hit another 3 for Toronto, putting the Raptors up 98-92 with 3:26 left. Solomon Hill’s 3 with 15.9 seconds cut it to 100-99, but DeRozan answered with a pair of free throws. Indiana had the ball under Toronto’s basket with 2.7 seconds left. Ellis inbounded to George, who fed Solomon Hill, and Pacers players threw their arms up in celebration when his shot from the left side went through the net. But video replay confirmed that the shot came too late. George scored 12 points in the first and the Pacers were 7-for-10 from 3-point range to lead 35-20 after one.

KNO XVILLE — Kyra Elzy is heading back up I-75 to resume her coaching career. The former Tennessee Lady Vols assistant coach and player is returning to Kentucky to rejoin the staff of women’s basketball coach Matthew Mitchell as an associate head coach. Elzy was a four-year member of Tennessee’s staff before parting ways with coach Holly Warlick on April 11. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Tuesday that a formal announcement of Elzy’s hiring was expected today. Elzy was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Kentucky from

2008-12, serving as associate head coach from 201012. She helped Kentucky sign three consecutive recruiting classes ranked in the top 10 nationally. She returned to UT when Warlick became head coach in 2012. Elzy was named associate head coach last season and her compensation was increased to $239,484.00. Elzy played for the Lady Vols from 1996-2001 and was part of two national championship teams. Kentucky has lost two assistants in the past two weeks. The school announced the resignation of Tamika Williams-Jeter on Monday and confirmed on April 14 that it would not renew the contract of assistant Adeniyi Amadou.

said, never directly connected him to any academic misconduct. The document was what Tyndall called “a running log” of notes from compliance meetings, not an official document, that he asked his director of operations to clean up so it could be better presented to the NCAA. The facilitating of money between former coaches and players, Tyndall said, was cleared by the Southern Miss compliance department. Tyndall said coaches and players both told the NCAA Tyndall did not pay them. “So bottom line,” he said, “the only person saying Donnie Tyndall paid it was Adam Howard who, in his transcripts, said ‘Well, I never saw coach give anyone money, I never saw coach give a player money, but that’s what I think happened.’ ” “It’s sickening,” Tyndall said later of what’s written in the NCAA report. “It’s slanderous. It’s wrong. It’s dead wrong.” Tyndall said he offered to buy plane tickets for graduate assistants to go see family during summer breaks, before an unnamed assistant coach “hijacked” one trip to California,

IN MEMORY........

turning it into a trip to help a prospect with school work. Tyndall admitted to “mass deleting” emails from his Morehead State account, saying the emails contained personal and private information pertaining to a divorce he was going through. With Howard’s help, and without a school backing him, Tyndall said the NCAA made an example of him because “I’m a nobody. I’m not a Hall of Fame coach,” citing Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim by name. Boeheim was suspended nine conference games — the same penalty Tyndall said he would’ve gotten had Howard not lied and Tennessee stood by him — after he failed to monitor his program. Tyndall said he has “very, very little confidence” he’ll get a fair trial when he appeals the NCAA’s decision. “I think they’ve ended and ruined my career,” Tyndall said. “ ... Eventually, the truth will come out. Unfortunately, they’ve cost me a dream and a livelihood based on circumstantial evidence of one guy who lied to them twice previously and cut a deal for full immunity. It’s just mind-boggling. It really is.”

Offense was a priority this spring for teams in ACC Atlantic Division Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Some teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Atlantic Division kept their offenses humming this spring. O thers simply tried to get them started. There was little middle ground last season in the Atlantic Division, which had three of the league’s best offenses last season along with three of its worst. No surprise, then, that in the teams’ end-of-spring scrimmages, there were a wide range of offensive showings — from Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson’s 519yard, eight-touchdown bonanza to Boston College’s spring game ending with a 6-2 score. For North Carolina State and Florida State — which ended last season ranked third and fourth in the league in scoring — the goal was to maintain that offensive production with some new faces. The Wolfpack are adjusting to new offensive coordinator Eli Drinkwitz and lost two-year starter Jacoby Brissett and three offensive linemen to graduation. The Seminoles kept the focus on their young quarterbacks with Sean Maguire out for the spring with a broken ankle. “We can see the direction which we’re going,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. And then there’s Clemson. The Tigers’ offense looked like it hadn’t missed a beat — despite not having injured receivers Mike Williams or Deon Cain — with 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist Deshaun Watson taking snaps in the spring for the first, and maybe only, time in his college career. “I don’t really have ... a major concern,” Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said. “I just think that we’ve got a lot of work to do, and we need that commitment this summer. I mean, I think championships are won when people aren’t looking. Championships are won when the stands are empty.” At the other end of the spectrum, BC, Wake Forest and Syracuse had plenty of room for growth. The Eagles ranked 126th in the nation last year in total offense and 121st in scoring. Wake Forest wasn’t much better at 114th in total yardage and 120th in scoring in Dave Clawson’s second season. And the O range brought in Clawson’s replacement at Bowling

Green — Dino Babers — to revive a program that went a combined 7-17 the past two years. “I thought the entire spring period was a rebirth,” Babers said. A look at the top priorities each Atlantic school had this spring: BOSTON COLLEGE: The Eagles brought in Scot Loeffler, who coordinated offenses at Virginia Tech, Auburn and Temple, to run an offense that averaged just 275 yards and 17 points last season. “Football is attention to detail and being a great fundamental football coach,” coach Steve Addazio said. “Scott is all of that.” CLEMSO N: Swinney said Mike Williams — who suffered a seasonending neck injury while scoring a touchdown on the first series last year — went through skeleton drills this spring, and “if we were playing a game today, he’d play. He’d be ready to roll.” FLO RIDA STATE: The Seminoles groomed their eventual replacements for Maguire, with redshirt freshman Deondre Francois and freshman Malik Henry showing promise. Fisher said all three have talent. LO UISVILLE: Coach Bobby Petrino said Jackson, a dual-threat QB who rushed for 186 or more yards in each of the last two games last season, showed improvement in his decision-making and in his throwing accuracy. “I’ve always felt like preseason polls and early-season polls are based off how you finish the year and what you have coming back,” Petrino said, “and obviously Lamar finished the season very, very strong.” NO RTH CARO LINA STATE: The Wolfpack wanted to grasp the fundamentals of Drinkwitz’s offense. Drinkwitz came from Boise State to replace the fired Matt Canada. Jalan McClendon and Jakobi Meyers are competing to replace Jacoby Brissett as the starting QB. SYRACUSE: The O range’s top priority was figuring out how Babers wants to play on both sides of the ball. He says he’s learned not to set unrealistic goals for new teams: “We just want to try and make sure we get better every day.” WAKE FO REST: After winning six total games in two years with minimally experienced players, the Demon Deacons are starting to grow up. “For the first time in three years we have some legitimate competitions going on,” Clawson said.

Arrival of 3 coaches adds a twist to topsy-turvy Coastal Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. The Atlantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division has been unpredictable for years. And it’s not looking like there will be much difference next season after spring practices. North Carolina is breaking in a new starting quarterback in its attempt to repeat as champion in a division that always has turnover at the top. Three of the other six division teams have new coaches and spent the spring focused on installing new looks and schemes. “It will be different because you’re not going to be able to get that feel in the summer,” UNC coach Larry Fedora said. “There is no way. You know with the situations of the schools have been consistent with what they’re going to do, but the ones with the new staff, you won’t know.” The Tar Heels (11-3) reached the top 10 last year and rode a high-scoring offense to an 8-0 ACC mark. Junior quarterback Mitch Trubisky — who has played well in spot duty — was named the starter last week. UNC, looking to become the division’s first repeat champion since 2011, opens Sept. 3 in Atlanta against Georgia, the former program for new Miami coach Mark Richt. Richt takes over a Hurricanes program that won eight games last year. “There are some guys that have great skill sets and guys that have played in big games, guys that have been there,” Richt said. “Even though they

Something I did this year that I will remember for the rest of my This year I did a music program at school. My parents were life is holding our class pet lizard, Elliott. We were so excited there and so was my sister, Emily. I will never forget it. I’ll always remember the program because I had a solo. I was scared, but I when we got him. About a week or two after we got him, we got to got over it. My dad said I sang beautifully. I will always remember pet him. Then shortly after that, we got to hold him. We had our picture made with him. That is something I did this year that I will the program. remember for the rest of my life. Kassidy Willard, 2nd grade, Rock Springs Elementary School, Ms. Charlton Kaylee Keith, 5th grade, Nickelsville Elementary School, Mrs. Fraley I will always remember my teacher. She is very nice. If you haven’t I have many things I will remember from this school year, but the had her yet, when you do, I think you’ll like her also. She is very main thing I will remember are all my sweet teachers. One reason sweet. I will always remember my teacher. I’ll remember them is because they are all so much fun. Also, they are really cool! Another reason is they help me understand things I Kaitlyn Dunbar, 3rd grade, Weber City Elementary School, Mrs. Sanders have trouble with. I’ll always remember my teachers. The one thing that I will never forget about third grade is our Renee Sexton, 5th grade, Yuma Elementary School, Ms. Mullins awesome field trips. One field trip we went to was Barter Theater and watched Frosty the Snowman. After that, we went to Melllow I received an award for poetry. The school board awarded me Mushroom. The next day we went to watch the Nutcracker. At one with a plaque. I won Best in the County. We took a picture and I part of the play it started to snow, but it was not real snow. The received a twenty-dollar gift card. I was so proud of myself. My field trips in third grade are awesome. parents were very proud of me, too. Gideon Nickels, 3rd grade, Weber City Elementary School, Mrs. Sanders

I will remember when we did the math strips for the rest of my life because I like counting. Joseph Arrington, Kindergarten, Hilton Elementary School, Ms. Edwards My favorite memory from this school year is the hayride. The marshmallows were my favorite part. They were so good. Lyfe McNew, Kindergarten, Hilton Elementary School, Ms. Mullins One thing I will never forget is when we collected a lot of money. It was for black boards in Sudan. Christopher Jenkins, 1st grade, Lincoln Elementary School, Mrs. Trapp

have a learning curve of what to do in our new system, at least they don’t have to go through the process of playing their first collegiate game.” Richt, who replaced Al Golden, joins Virginia’s Bronco Mendenhall and Virginia Tech’s Justin Fuente as new arrivals. Fuente left Memphis after Frank Beamer retired and brought along an up-tempo offense. Mendenhall replaced Mike London after 11 years at BYU and began trying to change “culture” and expectations. Pittsburgh and Duke are both coming off eight-win seasons. Georgia Tech — last year’s predicted division champion — is coming off a three-win season that was the worst in eight years under Paul Johnson. A look at the focus for each team in the Coastal Division: DUKE: It’s unclear who’s going to be at QB by the opener. Projected starter Thomas Sirk ruptured an Achilles tendon in February, giving plenty of spring reps to Parker Boehme. But coach David Cutcliffe has said Sirk could recover in time for the regular season. GEO RGIA TECH: The Yellow Jackets have nine offensive starters back but spent spring trying to find a cohesive unit. That was particularly true on the offensive line, where they struggled last year and had key injuries that led to players shifting positions through spring drills. “We had to mix and match,” Johnson said. MIAMI: running back Mark Walton was

The thing I will remember from this year of school is my teacher. She is the best teacher I have ever had, but sadly she is retiring this year. I really hope she doesn’t leave. So, my teacher is my most memorable thing. Lynnzi Hurd, 3rd grade, Mt. Carmel Elementary School, Ms. Bledsoe Something I did this year in school and will remember for the rest of my life is how much I learned. I thought I knew all about fractions, but I didn’t. I have always wanted to learn multiplication and division, but this year I did. In science, I didn’t notice how much I liked learning about space. In reading class, I liked it when we wrote poems. Zoe Payne, 3rd grade, Mt. Carmel Elementary School, Ms. Bledsoe

Alivia Davidson, 6th grade, Powell Valley Middle School, Ms. Johnson What is something you did this school year that you will always remember? To me, it would have to be our sixth grade field trip to Dollywood. One reason why I will always remember it is because I had so much fun with my friends. Plus, because we rode the Wild Eagle eight times. I also had the chance to get to know some of my classmates better. I will always remember my field trip to Dollywood. Lauren Meade, 6th grade, Yuma Elementary School, Ms. Mullins This year I was published in the newspaper. I will never forget this because it was the first time something I had done was “put out” for people to see. I also won’t forget this because my mom has the newspaper framed and hung up in the living room. This is what I will never forget about this year.

Boy! So many great memories in fourth grade! Here’s the memory Emily Adkins, 7th grade, Holston Valley Middle School, Mrs. Taylor I have chosen to remember forever! I will never forget the day we did the Cardboard Challenge. We had to make creative games. Something I did this year in school was made two jump shots in Nevaeh Lambert, 1st grade, Lincoln Elementary School, Mrs. Trapp We made arcade games out of cardboard! The teacher gave a basketball game against the number one team in the league. us teams and we brought some of our own supplies. My team My favorite thing that I did this year was complete a STEM project. The reason this was so good for me was because it was against I loved the STEM project because it was awesome! I got to make it and I made a rocket. I like the Cardboard Challenge because we the best team in the whole league. Another reason that this is so just the way I wanted it. I used school supplies to make it. I made are saving the earth! But, also because I got to show my wild exciting is because the players were so tall, so I didn’t really get to it out of string, plates, sticks, tape, and cotton balls. This was the side! This is something I will never forget about fourth grade! shoot that much. The final reason I will remember this moment is best day ever because I had fun! because the eighth graders played most of the game, and I was Abigail Fraysier, 4th grade, Miller Perry Elementary School, Mrs. Jeffers subbing in for one of them. This is something that happened at Jordyn Corner, 2nd grade, Mt. Carmel Elementary School, Mrs. Short school that was very memorable. One thing that I will remember for the rest of my life about this One thing that I will remember in second grade is that we went school year is being able to be a part of the safety patrol. One Brayden Blevins, 7th grade, Holston Valley Middle School, Mrs. Taylor to WCYB weather station because we were studying weather. It reason is because I was able to help put up the chairs for the was so amazing. Not a lot of people get to go to WCYB. We met Preston Ayres and David Boyd. We got to tour around the station. Pre-K class. I enjoy helping the students get out of their car and Something I did this school year that I will remember was We learned how they make the weather forecast. We were even greeting their parents. It is fun monitoring the hallway. These are attending All-County Chorus. I will remember this because it on the TV screen. It was the best field trip ever. a few reasons why I will remember safety patrol for the rest of my was a special opportunity for some of the chorus kids to meet up life. and sing with students from other schools. A very large group of Destiny Porter, 2nd grade, Hilton Elementary School, Mrs. Rhoton students practiced all day at Northeast State Community College, Joshua Delano, 5th grade, Weber City Elementary School, Mrs. Webb and performed that night in front of a large group of teachers, In second grade, we learned about Egyptians. We learned about parents and family members. This is an example of one of the King Tut. We made mummies and that’s something I’ll remember forever! many things I will remember from my seventh grade year. I will never forget my friends because I love my friends.

suspended after an arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. He had emerged from spring atop the depth chart after running for a team-best nine scores as a true freshman. NO RTH CARO LINA: Entering Year 2 under coordinator Gene Chizik, UNC’s defense must build on last year’s turnaround. The Tar Heels lost two of their top three tacklers in linebackers Jeff Schoettmer and Shakeel Rashad. PITTSBURGH: The recovery of 2014 league player of the year James Conner after a battle with lymphoma could bolster an already strong running game that includes ACC offensive rookie of the year Qadree O llison. Conner, who didn’t play after suffering an opening-day knee injury, was able to participate in portions of spring workouts and wraps up treatments in a few weeks. VIRGINIA: The quarterback position is a question. Matt Johns started all 12 games last year ahead of Connor Brewer, but both guys are competing to lead an offense featuring receiver O lamide Zaccheaus and tailback Taquan Mizzell. VIRGINIA TECH: While defensive coordinator Bud Foster is back to give the Hokies at least one familiar element, it’s unclear how things will shake out at QB. The Hokies have what Fuente called “a very open competition” featuring rising senior Brenden Motley and juco transfer Jerod Evans. Champion

Ted Como

Several years ago, I was asked to serve on an Emmaus Walk at church as a kitchen worker — my favorite job! One of the ladies I was working with brought in a huge bowl of crackers for a snack for the workers. These saltine crackers appeared to have been baked with a coating of some sort. After the first bite, it was evident that both hands were needed in an attempt to eat as many of these fantastic little squares as possible. We lost count of how many times her husband was asked to replenish our supply that weekend, and I am now sharing the recipe for firecrackers because they perfectly pair with my cabbage soup, and the best part is how easy they are to prepare because no baking is required! Cabbage soup is delicious because it seems to be an unwrapped version of an eggroll. It’s healthy, tasty, inexpensive, and easy to cook. What makes it even more delicious is serving it with the firecrackers. I recently hosted an Initial Outfitters jewelry party for my friend, Katina, and served this soup and firecrackers to our guests. The greatest compliment a cook can ever receive is to take home an empty Dutch oven as well as an empty container of firecrackers, so I can say with confidence that these two recipes are keepers. Enjoy!

Angelia Hensley

Angelia Hensley’s recipe for cabbage soup tastes like an unwrapped version of an eggroll. It’s healthy, tasty, inexpensive and easy to cook.

Cabbage Soup

2 lbs. (80/20 percent) ground beef 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 large cabbage, chopped (It may seem like too much, but it’s not!) 2 cans Hunts fire-roasted, diced tomatoes with garlic (Please don’t think this is too much garlic! These tomatoes are delicious, and I highly recommend them.) 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce ½ cup water Salt and pepper to taste In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion, and cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender. You do not need to drain the meat.

Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute. Add the cabbage, tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes until the cabbage is tender.

Firecrackers

1 box saltine crackers Empty all sleeves into a large bowl. Mix together: 1½ cups canola oil 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix 1 tsp. garlic powder 2-3 Tbsp. red pepper flakes Pour the mixture over the crackers and mix very well, coating all

Overnight oats a cold, soggy mess By LEAH ESKIN Chicago Tribune (TNS)

Overnight oats are an overnight sensation. Easy! Healthy! Quick! It’s the breakfast trifecta, in a jar. The recipe is simple: Toss oats and milk in a jar, twist and chill. Hours later, untwist breakfast. Still, my college girl and I complicated it. At night, we measured our variables: milk, almond milk, yogurt; peanut butter, almond butter, Bill chia seeds; honey, syrup, sugar; Bovender fresh fruit, dried fruit, no fruit. In the morning, we ran 10 taste tests. The results were uniform: O vernight oats spoon up soggy, cold and awful. For my seven minutes of breakfast prep, I’d rather simmer the oats thick, steam them chewy and scatter them with hot buttered almonds. Craig Cottongim

The recipe is easy, healthy, quick — and delicious.

Midmorning Oatmeal

1/3 cup water 1/3 cup milk 1/3 cup rolled (aka “old fashioned”) oats 1/3 tsp. butter 1 Tbsp. sliced almonds 1 pinch salt 1 sprinkle cinnamon 1 tsp. brown sugar In a medium saucepan, bring water and milk to a boil. Sprinkle in oats and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 4 minutes. Pat PullBuchanan pan off heat, cover and let rest 2 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat butter over medium. Slide in almonds and toast, shaking now and then, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and cinnamon. Scoop oatmeal into a small bowl. Sprinkle on brown sugar, then toasted nuts. Dig Roger Davis

A combination of ranch dressing mix, garlic powder and red pepper flakes gives these firecrackers their zing. of the crackers. Keep in a closed container for freshness.

Double-strength lemon mousse brightens spring By LEAH ESKIN Chicago Tribune (TNS)

The striver promises to give it his all. More: 110 percent. He pledges himself to effort. More: to redouble that effort. Leading us off message, distracted by brawny syntax. Redo means do, twice. Review means view, twice. Redouble means double, once. This undercount is unfair. It’s a rebuff of “re.” It’s a wrong we vow to right. We are printing up double-sided placards in support of a quadruple-strength redouble. We plan to hoist them at the next convention of the Modern Language Association. Should that campaign fail, we’ll focus on local change — like doubling up on doublestrength Angie lemon mousse.

KITCHENEERING

Label it a problem: Remove paper from jars before washing Dear Heloise: O ur DISHWASHER quit pumping water out. I figured it was worn out. After checking outlet stores, I pulled it out to install a new one. Out of curiosity, I pulled out the pump and discovered that it was plugged with jar labels. My hint: Don’t wash jars before removing the labels. — Robert H., Battle Ground,Michael Wash. Gilbert, time here. UH-O H! Confession I cleaned out the bottom of our CFP dishwasher and found all sorts of YUCK! A lot of bits of paper from — you guessed it — jar labels. Yes, my husband, David, had warned me! So I stand corrected and ask readers to learn from me — DON’T DO IT! — Heloise P.S.: Visit my website, www.Heloise.com, to see a photo of

all the bits and pieces of paper, plus two to three pieces of broken glass I removed!

Hints from Heloise

Send them to the compost bin! Most frozen vegetables last about a year under optimal conditions, meaning the freezer (not in the door) is set at 0 degrees F and stays constant. When buying bags of frozen Frozen vegetables, feel the bag to be sure veggies the vegetables are still separated. If the veggies did not stay frozen Dear Ned a little Scott completely, they “thawed” Heloise: While and then froze into Jilton II a block! — cleaning Jerrell out Heloise our freezer, we found bags of Potluck pasta

frozen veggies that never got used. They have to be 4, maybe 5 years old. Would they still be good, or better in the compost bin? — A Longtime Follower in the Billings (Mont.) Gazette

Dear Heloise: I made pasta the other day and had quite a bit left over. I saved it for soup the next day and added it as the last ingredient before serving. I’m going to make extra from now on. — Judy

K. in Philadelphia Great hint, and one that will save time in the kitchen, as well as money. You also can save rice or potatoes from a meal for soup. There are so many soup hints and recipes I love that I gathered them all in my Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet. To order one, go to www.Heloise.com, or send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soups, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Is your soup too watery? Try adding barley or orzo, which will absorb some of the liquid, making a thicker soup. Save croutons and crispy noodles from takeout to top soup with. — Heloise

Canned tomatoes

Dear Heloise: I use canned whole tomatoes for many recipes. I use my kitchen shears to cut up the tomatoes IN THE CAN before adding to my big pot. No mess, and they can be easily poured into the pot. — Cathy D., Springfield, Ill.

Shaping burgers

Dear Heloise: O ne more hint for shaping burgers: Use cupcake liners. I place one on the bottom, one on top and ‘‘squash‘‘ to flatten the burger to the desired thickness. Stack, wrap and freeze. It’s easy to separate as many as you want. — Joyce W., Dayton, Ohio

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

Today’s Horoscope

FOR RELEASE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2016 BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Note: Bigar’s Stars is based on the degree of your sun at birth. The sign name is simply a label astrologers put on a set of degrees for convenience. For best results, readers should refer to the dates following each sign. A baby born today has a Sun in Taurus and a Moon in Capricorn. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, April 27, 2016: This year your practical nature emerges, making what you thought was impossible possible. You will learn to let go of certain mental filters that have been lifelong but have prevented you from seeing clearly at times. If you are single, you will open up to a new hobby or passion. If you pursue this interest, you are likely to meet someone through your connection to this pastime. This person might not be “the one,” but you will enjoy being with him or her. The relationship could be unusually stable. Don’t commit unless you’re sure you can handle the same person for many years to come. If you are attached, the two of you hit a glorious period in which stability becomes possible. You also will travel together or have more visitors in your home. You also might become armchair travelers together. You could have a lot of fun planning a special trip for next year. CAPRICORN always seems to have another perspective. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ You might not appreciate new demands and/or responsibilities dumped on you. If you weren’t so efficient, you wouldn’t have to endure this experience. Use your instincts to make the situation easier. You will be a lot happier once you are clear on whether you need to say no or if you can handle the request. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Reach out for someone at a

distance. This person is often a source of great ideas and different solutions. A friend could inspire you to detach and find the best path for you. Make plans in the near future to travel or to take a mini vacation. Tonight: Read between the lines. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Deal directly with another person you care about. You could feel as if someone is pushing the line and causing a hassle. You need to be able to say no, as much as you would prefer not to. A matter involving your domestic life takes a higher priority than in the recent past. Tonight: Spend time with your favorite person. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You might see a situation differently and cannot get past a hassle or lack of response from a key person. Your intuition mixed with some detachment will allow you to see the matter with greater insight. Know that others are highly responsive to you. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Pace yourself and become more aware of your limits. A situation emerges that you have difficulty bringing to a conclusion. Those who are involved express a certain idealism, which you find charming. You might decide to bail others out. Tonight: Know when to cocoon. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Allow your creativity to flourish in an unprecedented manner. You could enjoy yourself with a partner or special friend. Your positive attitude takes you far with a partner. You could feel like you are one end of a rubber band being pulled but the other end doesn’t know what to do. Tonight: Frolic away. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ You might be well advised to deal with a family or domestic issue first. Otherwise, your mind will keep floating back to this matter. You would be happiest if you dealt with it now. Your instincts might be picking up particulars about a person in your life. Tonight: Make it cozy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ How you deal with others might be emphasized. You often sense a lot of what is going on with others and become frustrated. Stay on top of a personal matter, understanding what needs to happen. You could suddenly find that you are questioning a choice more carefully. Tonight: Get together with friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Of all signs, you understand the importance of money in creating the type of life you desire. Others often admire your skills and are amazed at the level of self-discipline you manifest. Be willing to help out a family member in distress. Tonight: Make dinner your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Allow your innate creativity to flow. One thing you don’t need to worry about is the practicality of an idea, especially at the moment. If there is an important matter that you would like to complete or do, the timing is now. Tonight: Follow a whim. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Much might be occurring in your mind, yet you are having a difficult time verbalizing all of the thoughts racing through your head. A loved one or dear friend who knows you well can merely guess. A conversation with this person encourages you to verbalize a long-term desire. Tonight: Much-needed downtime. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ You naturally tap into your imagination, seeking out ideas that could be workable. Your sixth sense comes in to play. Verbalize more of your ideas, even if they seem impractical. You might be surprised at how you could make one work. Tonight: Where the crowds are. BORN TODAY Mayor, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (1969), inventor Samuel F.B. Morse (1791), author, pastor Tim LaHaye (1926) *** Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com. © 2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

‘Newspaper ink has a gift of infinity that other media can only envy’ By JIM WELCH Executive director of the Elizabeth R Griffin Foundation

The newspaper ink of the Times-News has been part of my life for as long as I remember. More specifically, I think my college years are the only time to date in my life that the Times-News didn’t arrive at my doorstep or paper box. Even then, my trips home were marked by reading articles that one of my parents believed I should read. My dad would cut them neatly and use a paper clip to attach them to a typewritten note signed “Pop.” My mother would sometimes resort to pinking shears and use lipstick as a highlighter. My dad read a morning paper with his eggs and bacon and the evening paper accompanied by a pipe loaded with Granger tobacco. I have no idea when my mother read the paper, but she did. A.B. Akard, who was an

It was standing in A.B.’s basement where I first learned how newspaper ink smells. For our wedding gift, A.B. gave us the printing plate. I still have it. As a youngster, I shared an afternoon newspaper route with a friend next door. The communities

that housed the 60 or so daily customers were rather far apart – at least far apart for 12-year-olds – so we took turns as to who went where. I’m not sure how he worked it out, but it seems as though I always had the hilliest route on Sundays. Few youngsters today have any idea how heavy, bulky and weightshifting newspapers can be while riding a bicycle, especially when it rains. I’m rather sure they also don’t know the “ah-oh” moment of heaving a newspaper somewhere it should not have been heaved. Newspaper ink informs If you lived on my route, I’m the kid who brought you the news that John Kennedy was shot, Pope John Paul XXIII had died, a hotline had been installed between the Kremlin and the White House, Martin Luther King, Jr had given a speech titled “I Have a Dream,” seemingly nobody could beat either the Los Angeles Dodgers

or the Texas Longhorns, some scientist identified something he called Quasars, the Beatles were going to be on Ed Sullivan, Goldwater was the GO P nominee, and a new drug called Valium was on the market as a sedative. It was in tossing out news like that on a daily basis that I learned newspaper ink informs. Newspaper ink challenges It also happened that junior high was a time that I discovered I enjoyed writing. My dad was always encouraging me to express my opinions, and my mother was instrumental in attempting to couch that with an emphasis on the dignity of language as opposed to vulgarities and insults many of us sometimes prefer. Enhancing his encouragement, my dad made an effort to introduce me to Ellis Binkley at the TimesNews. At our first meeting, he suggested that I – a

youngster – call him “Bink.” My dad, however, insisted on the more mannerly “Mr. Binkley.” A compromise was reached at “Mr. Bink.” Before meeting Mr. Bink, I don’t believe I had read a single word he wrote. After meeting him, I don’t think I missed too many he ever wrote. It was through his writings that I learned newspaper ink challenges. Newspaper ink bites In college, I wrote occasional guest columns for the university paper. Some of them were even published. It took me somewhat by naïve surprise that a good number of people despised my opinions which I thought to be of the most perfect logic. It was there I learned how newspaper ink bites. Newspaper ink has a gift of infinity that other media can only envy Fast forward several years to the time in the midst of my teaching career that I got a call invit-

ing me to have a regular editorial column in the Times-News. The meager stipend enabled me to expand my community giving, but the opportunity to express myself was a gift far beyond value. Little did I know how many folks still clipped and mailed just as my parents had done, and little did I know how far my words could travel in ever increasing shorter time increments. It was in this I learned that newspaper ink has a gift of infinity that other media can only envy. My job now takes me all over the world, and everywhere I go I can still read the Times-News. The difference is that now its pixels instead of ink. Thank you, Times-News, for being an important part of my life. More importantly, thank for being a vital part of the culture of this region. Your editorials are bit too far in right field for me, but your ink is still good.

Journalist’s career began with paper route By CALVIN SNEED

As I contemplate 48 years in the TV news business, my memories of delivering news go all the way back to 1967. I was 13 years old, and the first job I ever had delivering news, was literally as a newspaper carrier for the Kingsport Times-News! Mine was a circular route in the afternoons, covering the streets of Riverview, from Dunbar to Wheatley to Louis, over to Carver, down into the Riverview Apartments, along Lincoln Street and back over to Dunbar where I lived. Hated Sunday’s. Not only were the papers heavier, but delivery was always in the early morning before sunrise. Every day, delivering papers took at least an hour to 90 minutes. Delivering the TimesNews actually gave me the chance though to read the news to some folks, as I delivered the paper. They would ask me ‘what’s in the paper today,’ and I would have to have read the stories to tell them the most

interesting stuff. Who would have thought that my TV career reading the news as an anchor, would get started by reading the news out loud, straight out of the paper to people along my paper route? Ultimately I would get practice doing something at 13 that would eventually become my life’s profession? To this day, that still amazes me. During the winter time, folks would see me trudging along in the cold and the snow with my faded knapsack with the hole in it. Don LaFerney, the circulation manager who knew my daddy and granddaddy pretty well, only had a used one to give me — (by the way, his daughter Donna was one of my D-B classmates), and my neighbors on the route would invite me inside to get warm for a few seconds. Because I was growing up with their children, I also got to sample everybody’s dinner in their homes for that day. They always insisted that I eat something. Today, I walk around

Riverview just to get exercise, but back then, the streets were long and hard to a kid with a heavy knapsack, up and down, back and forth. If nobody met me at the door (and many did), in the hot spring and summer months, I’d have stick the paper inside the door or the screen somewhere so that it wouldn’t spill out or get wet. I replaced a lot of papers because I learned that the hard way. But I had great people on my route, who always remembered me at Christmas time and at dinner time, and anybody who ever had to cancel, always came back. I still remember every home on my route. Oh, and what to do with the papers that I didn’t sell? Not much. The more papers you sold, the more money you made, and the paper was only a dime back then. I ended up with many papers left over and my daddy fussing because I didn’t sell all of them. I remember my last day delivering papers, too. Some customers did not

want me to quit, but I was way past ready to put down that knapsack. Just when I thought my connection to the TimesNews was over, indeed it was not. My father owned the janitorial company Sneed’s Cleaning Service back in the 60’s, which counted IBM and Tennessee Eastman as two of its clients. Lo and behold, when the Times-News moved into a new, modern futuristic building with an indoor garden on Lynn Garden Drive (I was terribly impressed. I had never seen anything like that before), the newspaper hired Sneed’s Cleaning Service to handle the janitorial needs for its new building. Every night after school, I would join my father’s janitorial staff to help clean the offices and the floors. One of the more colorful newspaper employees I would see every night, was a guy by the name of Pete Garza. Cannot remember what he did, but I think it was in copy layout or something, He was a 30’s-some-

If there was ever a hippy child of the psychedelic 60’s, it was Pete Garza and I mean that affectionately. Always talked about his wife and kids. Pete was very opinionated about anything political, hated the Establishment, felt very misunderstood, thought his generation held the key to the future, and felt that black people needed to be

heard more. He thought I didn’t stand a chance at ever being on TV, but said I’d be crazy not to go for it. O f all the newspaper people I would come in contact with back then, among them Ellis Binkley, Bill and Joan Roesgen, Bill Lane and Earl Carter, and I’m fond of them all, none left as lasting an impression on me as the one and only Pete Garza. I lost track of him after I got on at WKPT and another janitorial company took over the Times-News.

It’s a 4-ring circus, but newspaper work gets in your blood By WAYNE NOEL

I started delivering the Times-News as a carrier boy in the mid ’50s and started out with about 40 customers. At that time there was a morning paper and an afternoon paper plus the Sunday morning paper. I was living in a fairly new subdivision, and the route quickly began to grow. After two years, the route had grown to almost 200 customers due to new homes being built and taking over another route. After two-plus years I retired from delivering the paper. During my senior or junior year in high school I took Distributed Education, and through that course I got a part-time job at the newspaper in the circulation department working in the mail room after school and on weekends. If my memory serves me correctly, I was making about 65 cents an hour, and I thought I was going to be rich before long. The newspaper was located on Market Street, which is now a parking lot. My first of many jobs was to put the Family Weekly in the funny paper. The fun-

I was making about 65 cents an hour, and I thought I was going to be rich before long. nies and Family Weekly were delivered on Monday for the next Sunday paper. I also started working Saturday night, helping to get the Sunday morning paper out. Not long after I started working Saturday night, I was then given the extra job to stay after the Sunday paper was out and work the switchboard. It was the kind you had to plug jacks into holes below some little white lights to make the phone connections. We got calls from customers that didn’t get a paper for some reason and calls from carriers that were short a few papers. I would then send a driver to deliver the missing papers to carriers and call the carriers that might have missed the customer. I started working full time at the newspaper with a lot of various jobs. O ne was delivering bundles of papers to the carriers. I can remember a few mishaps with mailboxes jumping up and hitting the mirrors on my truck driving down the Yuma Road.

This usually happened when you met a car coming the other way and you had to scoot over so you could pass. I had to go back after work a couple of times to repair or replace the mailboxes. I also lost a couple of mirrors crossing the narrow bridge on Eastman Road that went on to Long Island. I was in the State Theater the day President Kennedy was killed. It ran across the screen that he had been shot in Dallas. It took a few minutes for it to soak in, but all at once just about everyone in the theater got up to leave. I decided to go to the newspaper to see if they needed any help and was given the job to refill the newspaper racks around town. I would pull up to a rack to refill it, and there would be so many people waiting that I sold the papers before I could get them in the rack. When I went to refill the rack at the hospital, I could have sold 200 papers if I had them. I’m not sure how many

extra additions went out that evening, but it was probably two. It sure was a busy time during this period. All the carriers and motor route drivers would come to the newspaper office to pay their bills on Saturday. There were about four or five of us working, and we really stayed busy taking in the money and getting it counted. Mondays I would take the money we collected to the bank. The money was in green bags and stuffed with dollars, checks and a full bag each for the pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars, and they were heavy. Back then I thought nothing of walking through the alley to the bank with all that money. During this time, the newspaper had several street sellers that would sell the paper at street corners throughout town. Probably the spot most older people can remember was the railroad overpass on Wilcox Drive just before the new Eastman corporate offices. I received my draft notice, and when I told my supervisor he took me out to eat lunch at Mac Ray cafe-

teria so he could tell me about the different services. As luck would have it, there were two naval officers eating lunch, so my boss thought it would be a good idea to invite them to our table to see if they might offer some advice. They sure had some advice, and before I knew it I was at the Naval Reserve Center getting sworn into the Navy. I really believe that turned out to be the best thing I could have done at that time. After my enlistment was over I came home and went back to work at the newspaper. After a while I was offered the job of district manager with responsibility of about 20 carriers in the Westview and Lynn Garden area. During this time the newspaper was running a lot of stories putting pressure on the county sheriff to crack down on bootleggers in the area. There was an enterprising janitor in the area where the newspaper was located who was selling moonshine in the alley close to the paper. It was sold by the pint, quart and gallon, and even a big

swig for a dime. On Sunday he sure had a lot of traffic. Several people got a big laugh out of the moonshine being sold downtown so close to the newspaper. The best I know he was never caught. Looking back on my days at the newspaper, I can say it was overall a good experience. I really had some good supervisors, and I got to work with a lot of good folks. We worked hard but had fun. There was something about having to meet the deadlines, of getting the paper published and delivered on time that gets in your blood. There was a lot more involved in getting the paper out each day than most people know. The advertising, news department, printing department and circulation plus many support groups all had to get their jobs done on time. It was like a four-ring circus with lots of stuff going on at the same time with the final act being the paper being delivered to the customers. This happened seven days a week and twice on six of those days. After three-plus years I decided it was time to move on to something else.

Blue Ridge Properties: A Kingsport Company

Original home of fine wines and spirits

Even though Blue Ridge did not exist as a business, the family that has owned Blue Ridge Properties since it started in 1970 came to Kingsport in 1920. The company know as Blue Ridge Properties was established by Jack White and his sons, John and Andy White. When they decided to sell the real estate business, it was a natural fit to hand over the reins to the Broker who had been running the company’s Residential Department for the last 6 years, Valerie Joh, the niece of Jack White. Valerie purchased the business in 1979 and was the head of Blue Ridge Properties, Inc., for the next 30 years. At that time, she handed the company’s leadership over to the next generation. Colette George became the President, with Ted Glynn and Jenne Watson as Vice-Presidents of the corporation. Over the years, Blue Ridge has grown from its start on the second floor of the old IBM building on Center Street to a multi-office organization with approximately 50 agents. Currently, we are in the process of building a new downtown office in Kingsport that will be located at 321 Broad Street, with Dineen West of Cain, Rash, West Architects, and GRC, construction. It will be a brick, 1 ½ story office with landscaping, parking, and even a rooftop terrace. The new office has a projected finish date around the first of the new year. Blue Ridge has been in the residential, commercial, and rental business in the Tri- City area for over 46 years, and has sold more property in Kingsport than any other real estate company for over 40 of those years! We love this area and it shows!

It has been our pleasure serving our friends and neighbors since 1969 and We Thank You! Our SERVICE, SELECTION, and REPUTATION can’t be beat... GUARANTEED. Looking for “hard to find,” we’ve got it!

Delivering newspapers set Blakley boys on right path By JUDY DUNCAN BLAKLEY

Our story is one of a long relationship with the Times-News starting in the early 1920’s when Denny Blakley’s father, Taylor Blakley, died leaving his mother, Martha, with four small children to raise. They lived in what was known as the Highland area of Kingsport. At the age of six, and being the oldest boy, Den began to help his mother and the family by selling newspapers in what was then downtown Kingport. He would walk to the newspaper building, pick up the papers and then go to the corner of Main and Broad Streets to sell the papers. He sold them to bankers, lawyers, merchants and anyone else on the street who wanted a paper. After he sold the papers, he would take his profits back to his mother to help support the family. These were very difficult times for the family, but it was also one of hard work and perseverance. Martha also worked to support the family by doing laundry and housework for local residents, one of which was Dr. George Keener. Before he died, Den shared some of his childhood memories of early Kingsport, one in which he described seeing an airplane land in what is now

Denny Blakley, left, began selling Times-News newspapers when he was just 6 years old to help support his mother and siblings. Denny is pictured with his son, Joe Blakley, who also sold papers as a young boy. known as Cherokee Village. He said it was the first plane to land in Kingsport. At that time, that area was pasture land, in which Dr. Thomas Yancey kept horses. Both Dan and his friends would also sneak into that pasture and ride the horses when they could.

He also talked about he and his friends going “skinny dipping” in Reedy Creek below where the current Holston Valley Medical Center is located. Not only did he swim there, he and his friends fished there as well. At that time, he said the hill where the current medical center

is located was the city “dump” where local residents deposited their garbage. Joe, the second generation paper boy, began selling Times-News newspapers as a young boy at the age of nine years old, usually on Saturday morning. At that time, there were two newspapers printed each day, the Kingsport Times and the Kingsport News. He would get up early on Saturday morning and walk from his home on East Sullivan Street to the newspaper office on Market Street. He would pick up as many papers as he could carry and would sell them to people who were shopping or working in the downtown area. The newspaper costs five cents and he earned two cents for each paper he sold. He would then use his profits

to treat himself to a hotdog and coke which sold for fifteen cents at Cole’s Drug Store lunch counter. After that he would go to a movie at one of the downtown theaters, which were the State, Strand, Center, Rialto, or Gem theaters. Later on Joe also had a home delivery newspaper route in the area of Dale, Maple, and Sullivan Streets. His route consisted of 85-90 customers to which he delivered the daily newspaper, including Saturday and Sunday. To do this, he had to pick up the papers at the newspaper office and then deliver them by bicycle to his customers. Also, at that time, the carriers had to put all the inserts in the papers before they delivered them. The hardest day was always on Sunday because of the inserts and the

weight of the papers. Andy, the third generation paper boy, sold papers in Colonial Heights in the Woodcrest and Lakecrest area, during the late 1970’s. His papers were delivered to a central drop-off spot where he picked them up. At that time the papers were delivered in the afternoon during the week and in the morning on Saturday and Sunday. He delivered them after school by bicycle and walking except on the weekends. On Saturday and Sunday, his dad and mother helped him deliver by car due to the weight of the papers, especially on Sunday. His route consisted of 83 customers at one time and he earned 10 cents each for weekly and Saturday delivery and 25 cents for Sunday. O ne of the things that helped to collect from some of the customers was the “Pay in Advance” policy. Most customers were good to pay for the service but occasionally, delivery had to be stopped. Delivering the newspaper was the beginning of a long successful work history for each of these Blakley boys. Each of them went on to be good fathers while raising their children and good neighbors in their communities. They have always demonstrated a strong work ethic. For over 90 years there has also been at least one of these Blakley boys employed at Eastman Company.

Reporter covered T-N was ‘launching pad’ for many stolen cars and bootlegging By FRED ‘BO’ FIELDS

By BOB SMITH

I was a Times-News reporter from 1964 to 1973, way back when Moses was the managing editor. Here are three stories that I still remember. I did an undercover investigation into bootlegging in Kingsport in the 1960s, when Tennessee was still a "dry" state, and wrote a series called "The Invisible Industry." One night I entered a bootleg joint on Sevier Street and found myself the only white person inside, so I bought a pint of moonshine and quickly eased out the door. Two nights later, a man was fatally shot and another man was stabbed to death at the joint. I arrived when police did and saw the bodies on the floor, and was glad that I hadn't lingered in the place. Another time I went into a bootlegger's home, bought some "shine" and began casually asking him questions about the business. He was drunk and angrily said "Why do you want to know all that for?" Then he picked up a butcher knife and lumbered toward me. He chased me around the kitchen table and through the living room, where I bolted out the front

door. The sight of a big knife speeds up the feet. In 1973, I learned from an informant that a Scott County gang was stealing cars in Kingsport and taking them to a secluded valley in Virginia, stripping them and selling the parts. (A photographer) and I went to the valley and found the cars. He was taking photographs and I was taking papers out of the glove boxes when a huge BOOM! rang out. We ran in different directions and I hid behind a big tree. A second shotgun blast hit the tree, and two pellets went through the top of my tennis shoe. A tense few minutes later I peeked around the tree and saw the photographer, with his hands up, being led away by the man with the shotgun. I sneaked away in the opposite direction and ran until I found a gravel road. I hid in the tall weeds beside the road until I saw a deputy's car coming. I jumped out, waved my arms for him to stop, and he drove me to safety. After I had gotten away, the man with the shotgun let (the photographer) go. The gang later was arrested, but I didn't go to the trial because by then I had moved to Florida to become a writer at the National Enquirer.

Understand the Kingsport Times News is about to be 100 years old. Congratulations! The Times News played a major role in the life of our family. My mother, who wrote under the byline, Pat Fields, and became one of the foremost feature writers in the state of Tennessee, began her career at the Times-News. It was in the 1940s during the era of Ellis Binkley and Bill Freehoff etc. She was working in a bank at the time and Ellis Binkley was a customer. Pat had been taking a course in writing, one that was advertised on

a matchbook cover. She told Binkley what she was doing. He told her to write a story and send it to him. She wrote a little feature on boys jumping off the bridge and swimming in Reedy Creek. It was summer. A couple of days later a picture of some kids diving off the bridge ran on the front page with Pat’s story under it. Pat walked into the bank office and quit. She walked the two or three blocks to the TimesNews and went upstairs to Bink’s desk and without any preliminaries said, “Where’s my desk?” That began a super career. Her investigative reporting was great. Got one man out of prison, she used to say.

Don’t know how long she stayed in Kingsport before she was offered and accepted a job at the The Knoxville Journal where she covered everything from Eleanor Roosevelt’s visit to Elvis Presley’s trip through town. My wife, Linda, and I met when we did our internship at the TimesNews in 1960. She retired as features editor of the Knoxville News- Sentinel. I wandered, working at the Knoxville Journal, UPI and a short stint at AP before joining TVA and becoming a lawyer and serving as an issue manager in a variety of settings. O bviously the Kingsport TimesNews was a launching pad for a lot of us.

(Practically) growing up at the Times-News By Lisa Adams Bruner

My Times News story actually begins at the Spartanburg Herald in Spartanburg, S.C., which is where my parents met. They both worked at the paper there when my dad accepted the job in Kingsport. The newspaper then was located on Market St. downtown in a very small building. My mother was a proofreader and my dad put the paper together and printed it. Back then they would use tile sets on a roller to print on the paper (yes I know that is ancient now), but to a young kid that was pretty cool to watch how they put the paper together. When the “new building” was constructed in the early 70’s it was the most modern thing we had ever seen. I can remember walking through the front door and seeing the atrium for the first time, it was amazing.

The best part of the new building was they had a dark room for photography (I’m sure that is ancient now too), and it had a black circular door you could step into and turn and be on the other side. Let me tell you that door entertained a lot of kids in its time. I practically grew up at the Times News and was intrigued at how everything worked and came together. I have enough stories that I could fill a complete edition of my own. Oh, but wait I did have my own

edition. When I was six I did a photo shoot at Rocky Mount for the paper. Needless to say that was the highlight and end of my modeling career. It definitely was an adventure going through the process of modeling, taking photos, developing, composing, proofreading, editing, and printing, and being involved in it all. Technology has taken over today and we no longer have the handson experience that we did back then. That is a good thing in so many ways, but for that child who experienced all that back in the day, my memories will forever be pressed in my mind and the family that I made there will always be in my heart. Happy Birthday Times-News I hope you are around for another 100 years! Lisa Adams Bruner is the daughter of retiree Maxie C. Adams.

Sending thanks “Across the Fence” By Lee Miller

For those of you who may recognize who I am, I’m the party who writes the Sullivan County edition of the weekly column, “Across The Fence.” Although I haven’t been here for decades, as have so many of you, I feel very comfortable and at home here, now that I’m about three months into completing 10 years of living here. That may be due to the fact all generations before me,

“It has been such fun and such a nice privilege to be a contributing columnist to this paper for the past six years. That’s primarily due to the incredible caliber of the people who live here and read this paper.” — Lee Miller on both sides of my family, were born in either Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, or Kentucky. As a child, I spent a large part of every summer in the Scott County, Vir-

ginia, region and still have family there. I felt at home immediately when I came here. It was as though I’d finally returned to my roots. In fact, I suppose that’s certainly precisely what I’ve done. This newspaper is the start of every day for me. I’ve been a newspaper junkie, all my life. I’m so grateful we still have a newsprint, page-turning, home-delivered newspaper here. So many regions have stopped printing them, and other areas no longer do home delivery. The 100th anniversary of this paper is the frosting on the cake. I dread the day when I can’t go to the end of my driveway and retrieve the

day’s newsprint, page-turning, home-delivered newspaper and hope it doesn’t occur during my life span. It has been such fun and such a nice privilege to be a contributing columnist to this paper for the past six years. That’s primarily due to the incredible caliber of the people who live here and read this paper. I’m betting a lot of you are reading these stories. This is such a great, little hometown newspaper and I’m thrilled to be a small part of it. I also feel so fortunate to be a resident of Sullivan County and am grateful for the warm cordiality I’ve experienced, no matter where I’ve gone or what I’ve done. I also have the most incredible and wonderful and helpful neighbors I’ve ever had, anywhere. So congratulations to this newspaper upon the wonderful occasion of its 100th birthday, and thank you, readers, for all the wonderful comments on my weekly column. I appreciate each and every single one of you. Keep reading!

The paper gave a young boy his start in life By DENVER KETRON

In the early 1940’s, I worked for the Kingsport Times-News as a paper boy for more than two years. I was a young teenager and walked delivering the papers on my route from Bloomingdale to Wadlow Road to the Virginia state line. When I earned enough money I bought a bicycle so I could ride my route to deliver the papers. Later, I worked for the Times-News on Market Street, mostly on Saturday nights, adding the inserts by hand. I went with the person who delivered the Sunday papers to other carriers and when we delivered all those, he would then take me to the start of my route in Bloomingdale to begin my own route.

In early 1944 I was called to work at Eastman Kodak where I worked for more than 42 years. I thank the Times-News for helping me in the early days when times were tough and giving a young boy his start in life. I am 89 years old and still read the Kingsport Times-News every day.

Work at the Times-News began on the switchboard By Joann Salyer

I worked at the Times-News, downtown Kingsport, between 1960 and 1963. Beginning as the switchboard operator and working in the circulation department. I worked with some good people at the newspaper and learned a lot. My boss who hired me was Mr. Irwin. He was a really nice guy. Let me tell you about Mr Irwin. I had worked at a jewelry store before and we called everybody “honey,” so one day Mr. Irwin called me on the switchboard and told me not to call people “honey,” they would wonder about me. I quit that habit and still notice when someone calls everyone “honey.” The paper was printed twice daily at that time and the paper sellers would come back to the building after selling the morning paper and stay until the afternoon paper was printed. There were several men including Charlie Clipse, Levy Hodges, Fred Hammonds, Hollis Roberts, Junior Samples among others who stayed from morning to afternoon. Mr. Irwin would take some of these guys over to McRay’s Cafeteria for lunch. O ne of the guys would take his snuff out of his mouth and put it back in the box until lunch was over; then he

would dip it again. Mr. Irwin was as proud of these guys as he was of his own folks. The street sellers were usually handicapped in some way but they gave it their all. One of them would go upstairs to accounting on a weekly basis to see how much his taxes/social security would be for what he made that week. I learned a lot from these people. In the summer time we also had the company of young boys who sold papers too. Needless to say, some days were more hectic than others. The paper was bought out and and Mr. Savage came to lead the circulation department. I enjoyed working with Mr. Savage also. I didn’t get to work for him long as the thing was back then that a woman had to quit work when she was pregnant and started to show. Things have sure changed over the years. During my newspaper tenure I met Wolford Powers who worked at the First National Bank and came in on Saturday to pay the bill for his son who was a paper carrier. Several years later we would meet again and I ended up working at the bank for 24 years; part of that time with Mr. Powers until he retired. Good people, good friends, good workers, and good memories.

Neither ‘The Hill’ nor dog bite stopped Danny Seals from finishing his rounds By DANNY E. SEALS JR.

Jimmy Haynes, 12, rode six to seven miles per day on his bicycle to deliver newspapers.

Bicycle paper route paid off for Jimmy Haynes, 12

Papers were 5 cents weekdays and 10 cents on Sundays By JAMES W. HAYNES

My name is James W. “Jimmy” Haynes. I was born Jan. 24, 1933, in Yuma, Va. I have lived in Yuma my entire life. In 1945, when I was 12 years old, I started delivering the Kingsport Times. I had 18 customers and delivered on a bicycle. In late 1945-46 the Times ran a contest to get more customers. At the end of the contest, I had 60 customers. I

came in third place and received a check from the Times News for $15. First and second place went to a couple of delivery boys in Kingsport. I used to ride my bike six to seven miles a day. My papers were brought to McGee’s Grocery by Blair Bus Line, which also brought workers to and from Eastman three times per day. The Times-News was in downtown Kingsport. It

eventually burned and lost service records. Papers were 5 cents weekdays and 10 cents on Sundays. I collected money from my customers every two weeks, and I paid the Times on Saturdays. I made good spending money delivering the papers, and it was very rewarding to me. The picture is me at age 12 and my bicycle that I used to deliver papers. I kept my papers in the saddle bags on the back of my bike.

I took the Kingsport Times-News paper route around 1974 in what was then called Friendly Town, which was the area behind the Country Store in Surgoinsville. I delivered the weekly paper after school in the afternoons and the Sunday paper early on Sunday mornings. I remember riding my bicycle from Zions Hill in the dark on Sunday mornings to The Golden Dairy where my papers would be waiting. If it was raining, I would take every paper and put it in plastic and then put it in my baskets on my bike. Sometimes the bike would be so heavy I would have to just start out pushing it until I had enough papers delivered to ride the bike. All the papers had to be delivered before church time because in those days there was no excuse for missing church. My parents would not have allowed me to work if I compromised church, and I really did not want to miss church anyway. Shortly after mastering the paper route in Friendly Town, my brother Gary started helping me, and we took on the other side of Surgoinsville, which included Zions Hill, The Creek Road and The Hill. Now, if you know anything about Surgoinsville, you know The Hill means “THE HILL.” You can hardly ride an empty bike up The Hill, let alone a bike loaded with Kingsport Times-News newspapers. I have no idea how we did this, but we did, and as far as I can remember, we did it on time. I had a basket hanging on every place you could hang a basket on a bike, and so did Gary on his bike. O ne thing I remember is that our customers — and we knew every one of them by name — would put cash money in the paper box or mailbox the night before the paper payment was due, and we would get it when we delivered the paper the next day. Would you believe, I cannot remember one time someone else took our money. If I remember correctly, we paid the Kingsport Times-News what we owed

them, and the rest was ours. Some folks would even give us a little extra! O ne of the funny things I remember well was that we had a customer on Zions Hill that had some really scary dogs that were fenced in her yard. I stopped one day to pick up my money, and the owner asked me to come on in through the gate. I declined nicely because I was afraid of the dogs. She stated that the one dog was just a pup, and the old dog just had one tooth. So, I bravely opened the gate, walked through, and that old dog with the one tooth sunk his one tooth to the gum in my leg. I always knew that dog would bite me, and it did. Now, that was not the worst part. I had to pull my britches down so she could treat the dog bite, because in those days, Mercurochrome cured everything, even dog bites! I reckon it worked. Last, if I remember correctly, 1975 maybe, the Kingsport Times-News offered a promotion. If I sold enough paper subscriptions, I could win a trip to Disney World, Florida. You know, I won that trip. I do know that my brother helped me to sell those papers and was unselfish enough to let me go because there was just no way to sell enough for two trips. I was two years older than him. I would like to just say, I am eternally grateful for such a brother, and sadly enough the Lord took him home in 2010. There was another boy who won a trip to Disney World, and I remember he lived in the subdivision behind the Pals in Church Hill. I cannot remember his name, but we stayed in the same room and flew down and back together. He was a good boy, best I remember. The Kingsport Times-News was my first public job, and I think it was a good job. Good for a boy growing up in Surgoinsville, Tennessee. It taught me responsibility, and I made many friends that I still think about today, even though many of them have passed on. Thank you Kingsport Times-News and thank you Surgoinsville for sending me to Disney World.

Working on Kingsport’s first ice cream truck was a cool job From stories told to CHARLOTTE LEMONS by SKIP LEMONS

Skip sold ice cream on the first ice cream truck in Kingsport. He was probably 13 to 14 years old.

Mr. Walt Cole owned it. Bud Payne drove the truck. They had to go to Johnson City to get the ice cream, and they had to keep the motor running all the time or the ice cream would melt. Most of the ice cream cost a

nickel. A quart of ice cream was a quarter, an Eskimo Pie was a dime, and an ice cream sandwich was a nickel. They went all over Kingsport, went to the top of Cement Hill above the Brick Yard. Skip made

$9 a week through the summer. When Skip was 15 or 16 years old, he had a paper route at the mill. He had 100 papers — they were 5 cents each. He got 2 1/2 cents for each paper he sold. He just sat outside

the cotton mill, and the employees bought the papers as they were coming into work and leaving work. He made $25 to $35 a day. His mom and dad made about the same working in the mill.

Picture shows, air raids among war-year memories By W. ALAN HENDERSON

My 6th birthday was November 1943, so I couldn’t start 1st grade that September. But, I got to start 1st grade in January of 1944. January to June was called 1A, and September to January was 1B. This A and B went on until the 5th grade. WW II was on, and I don’t know why the city schools did this, for about four years. It made students graduate from high school in January, which for them, was a non-event. When I got to 5B in September,

our teacher, Miss Nichols, was very upset the first day of school. She said “class, they have told me that we must cover 5B, 6A, and 6B all in one year.” And then the shocker. She said “we are going to do it come hell or high water.” I’ve never forgotten that since you rarely ever heard this. We had a good year. I was caught up then, and in September I started 7th grade at Jr. High, now the Senior Center. We would go to the picture show, we didn’t call them movies. “Do you want to go to the

show?” That’s what we’d say. If you were under 12, it cost nine cents, over 12 it was 44 cents. There were glass milk bottles and you could take an empty milk bottle to the store and they would give you a nickel. And you could take metal coat hangers to the dry cleaners and they would give you a penny. So with one milk bottle and four coat hangers you could go to the show. During WW II, I remember air raids at night, where all street lights went out, and we had to turn off all lights in our house, and be quiet. This was very scary

for a young boy like me. There were street wardens who made sure all lights were out. It probably lasted for 10 minutes or so, but it seemed like hours to me. Frightening! I remember H. V. Kaltenborn, the news anchor that WKPT AM radio station had on, with all the news of the war. There were ration books, and everything was rationed. You couldn’t get tires, gasoline was rationed, coffee was non-existent. I remember our toothpaste containers, you had to turn in a spent one to buy a new one.

Later, Charlie Deming, “The Gloom Chaser,” had a morning show on WKPT AM, 1400 on your dial. We didn’t have an FM station until years later. In the early 1950’s I remember Martin Karant’s “Five O ’clock Shadow Show,” which was named by my first cousin, Edith Pyle Sanders. My father told me after I was married that during the war, he worked seven straight years at Mead without a day off. I imagine some others did the same thing. There were a lot of sacrifices made overseas, but there were a lot of sacrifices made here too.

Carolyn Baker was first female carrier Kindle fondly recalls By CAROLYN ARNOLD BAKER

In 1958 my brother Gerald Arnold and I were paper carriers for the Kingsport Times-News. Gerald had the Bell Ridge Road area route and I had the Harrison Avenue area route. I was an 11-year-old young lady with the distinction of being the first female paper carrier for the TimesNews! During my three year “employment,” the Kingsport Times-News offered an opportunity to win a bicycle by obtaining ten new customers — I got nine new customers — oh, so close to that bicycle — so my mother gave a

mail subscription to my grandfather and that bicycle was mine! My dad added a wire basket to the handlebars that was a perfect fit for my canvas Times-News bag. We collected payment from our customers weekly and rode the bus to downtown Kingsport each Saturday morning to settle our route bills. At that time the Times-News was located on Market Street. It gave us opportunities to shop at the five and dime stores or purchase candy at the Penney’s candy counter! Sometimes the Times-News would have carrier meetings at the King-

sport Power building (where TriSummit Bank is now located). Door prizes were shiny silver dollars. Since I was the only girl carrier I was selected to draw out the names of the door prize winners. I pulled out my own name! That ended my job selecting winners. My job ended when I started high school. I couldn’t get from high school to my route area to deliver papers in a timely manner. But it was a great experience for me for being responsible for customer service, reliability, honesty, and managing money.

job in T-N pressroom By DAVID KINDLE

I am a 1974 graduate of Rye Cove High School and the Scott County Vocational Center with a certificate in Graphic Communications (Printing). I would like to say thanks to the Kingsport Times-News for hiring

me for my first job. I worked in the pressroom for A.B. Akard and Don Lowery. I started in June of 1974 and worked until February of 1977. Thanks again for hiring me and giving me the opportunity to work at the Kingsport Times News.

Surviving a 1922 car accident Submitted by JUANITA CATRON

On Easter Sunday, April 4, 1922, the newspaper carried the story of Andrew Ketron and Juanita Ketron who were seriously injured when hit by a car driven by a local mail carrier. Juanita, who will be 97 years next month, sent us a clipping of the newspaper story about the accident. She said she was 3 years old at the time of the accident, and was unconscious for 26 days following it.

The newspaper reported that Juanita had internal injuries as a result of being run over by the car. Today Juanita lives at Wellmont Madison House. She says that she married Frank Catron in 1934 and they had 75 years together. He died in 2008. Juanita, who had openheart surgery when she was 73 years old, said she is still able to go out to church and shopping, and that she has been a TimesNews reader her whole life.

In the days of the Times and the News By ALAN HENDERSON

This April 4, 1922 news clipping details the accident that injured Juanita Catron. She was unconscious for 26 days.

“Andrew Ketron and Juanita Ketron, aged 10 and 3 respectively, were seriously, if not fatally, injured when they were bowled over by an automobile driven by Eugene Easley on Dale Street here at about 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Dr. L.L. Highsmith, one of the several attending physicians, said this morning that the matter of the recovery of the children would be uncertain for several days, as the exact extent of their injuries could not be determined, but that he believed they would both recover.” — From the newspaper article of April, 4, 1922

Sixty-five years ago, I was a paperboy with a Kingsport Times paper route. The Times was an afternoon paper, Monday through Friday, and Sunday morning. No Saturday paper. There was also the Kingsport News, which was a morning paper. My route was on the west side of Center Street from O ak Street to Lamont Street, and all around Lincoln School. I had 96 customers. One of my customers, Mrs. Mary Francisco, still lives in the same location. I had this route from March 1951 to September 1956, 5½ years, and even kept it while going to East Tennessee State College my freshman year. The price of the Times was 40 cents per week. I collected every two weeks, 80 cents, and had to have lots of dimes, since most people gave me a dollar. One time a lady wrote me a check for 80 cents. I made about $12 per week, which was good money back then. The Times front counter was on Market Street, but I

had to get papers by going down an alley off Cherokee Street in the back of the building. I rode the same bicycle for 5½ years and I learned to repair it and keep it going. I had one dog, Toby, that bit my leg several times. I knew the names of all the dogs and all the children. In the snow, I had to walk and push my bike. I always tried to put the paper in a dry place if it was rainy. In the summer, I mowed yards for 75 cents to make money in addition to my paper route. I also learned to fix television sets in the early and mid 50’s. These black and white TV’s had eight to 10 vacuum tubes, and after a few years, the set would malfunction. Local stores had tube testers, and I could take and test the tubes. Replacing the bad ones many times would fix the set. I think tubes were between $5 and $10. When starting college, I had earned enough money to cover the entire first year’s expenses.

Memories of school days, selling papers and butter glazed doughnuts By BAXTER HOOD

These memories start about 1949 when I was age five. In 1949 my family moved to Chestnut Street in Borden Mill Village. O ur home was about three blocks past Wilcox Drive. My dad was pastor of The Church of the Nazarene at Sullivan and Revere. We didn’t have a car at the time so we often walked to church. In 1950 I lived directly across from Robert E. Lee Apartments on Dale Street. I thought they were just Lee Apartments. I attended Robert E. Lee (1st grade school). My older brothers walked me to school the first day. When we got near the school, I bolted across Sevier Street heading to my school. I was reprimanded by my brothers and learned about jay walking. I learned the designated (safe) place to cross before the police caught me. My first grade teacher’s name was Mrs. Jones. My next to the oldest brother, Dwayne was a very mature age 12 at the time. At age 12 he was able to get a job at Little Store (super market) packing out groceries. Little Store was located at 313 Sullivan St. (the current location of Shades of Grace United Methodist Church) at what was called 5 Points. My oldest brother, Cecil (Von) pedaled an ice cream cart around town in the summer. He later got a job at Cut Rate (super market). It was a big store on Sullivan Street about two blocks east of Little Store. Brother John (Billy), just older than me, worked at the new O akwood (super market) on Super Market Row. I’m almost sure he was paid 50 cents per hour. In 1951 I lived on Arch Street, directly across from Kingsport Press. We walked to Jackson School where I received my 2nd grade education. I was sick one day at Jackson School and messed up my pants. I high tailed it home alone (of course my mother was home). I don’t know what communications took place but we did not have a telephone, nor did we have transportation for my mother to go report to the school. All I know is (the principal) made me stay in after school the next day. Some of our neighbors on Roller Street had TV antennas on top of their homes. I had only seen TVs in Huddle Electric in the 200 block of Center Street. They had a sign on their door saying, “Come In, It’s Cool Inside.” I don’t remember watching TV until about 1956.

O ur family, all nine of us, walked from Arch Street to the Nazarene Church at Sullivan and Revere Streets. Our walk was down Supermarket Row. The stores were closed on Sunday. I’m sure it was one of the curious boys that discovered how the supermarkets dumped a lot of their (near the brink) produce on Saturday night. Many times on our way home from church we found Bananas, grapes and other very edible fruit in the dumpsters. We could afford tangerines from O akwood. In the ‘50s, around Christmastime, they sold tangerines for one cent each. It was a one block walk from our home on Arch Street to Center Street Restaurant. I went there many times to get my favorite green ice cream on a cone for five cents. The flavor was Mellow Dew. After I was an adult I learned it was probably a pistachio flavor. In 1953 my family moved into the brand new Frank L. Cloud Apartments. We lived there until 1956. We lived on the back street, back corner, in Apartment 97. We walked to George Washington School. In the 3rd grade, many students, including myself had permission from our parents to leave the school grounds for lunch period. Lots of children walked to town during lunch period. I don’t remember how long the lunch periods were, but I remember going all way down to the corner of Cherokee and Market Streets to Busy Bee Restaurant to get a nine cent hotdog.

“I remember hoards of Christmas shoppers on Broad Street. I remember so many shoppers lined up on Broad Street to cross Center Street that the traffic light would change before they could all walk across.” — Baxter Hood While we lived in “Cloud” an unusual snow storm occurred. It was obvious school would not be in session so mother did not send us. Well, that’s the second time I had to stay in after school. If I remember correctly we had to stay in every day for a week to make up the absence. The principal was Mr. Burns. I wonder if he ever found out about the kids calling him Baldy Burns. When we lived in Cloud Apartments, I sold the Kingsport Times newspaper on the downtown streets every afternoon. The Kingsport News was the morning paper. I would

In those days it was located on property between Clay and Revere Streets. leave school and walk to their building and check out 10 papers to sell. They refunded me two cents for each paper I sold. I usually worked until all 10 papers were sold. If some were left over I simply handed them in. Usually I would get tips enough to make my earnings up to about twenty-five cents or more. O n Saturday mornings I sold papers in front of First National Bank at the corner of Broad and Center Streets. I usually sold 50 papers there each Saturday. I would stand out there and call out, “paper, paper, get the latest new, read all about it.” I think my mother taught me how to shout it out. I remember one Saturday how a good man came by and bought all my papers. I think he was tired of hearing me shout it out. During this time Freel’s Drug had a contest giving away a girl’s and boy’s bicycle. I think the kid who got the most votes was the winner. Anyway, I just know my brother John worked hardest and won the boy bicycle. As a part of the award Freel’s gave the winners, and those with them, a banana split. I had never heard of a banana split and I was afraid to try new foods. My brothers told me I was crazy but the clerk understood my concern and gave me a chocolate sundae. When the new J. Fred Johnson store opened I hurried on over there to try the in-store carnival ride people had told me about. I continued up and down the escalator until the uniformed attendant invited me to leave.

I remember so many shoppers lined up on Broad Street to cross Center Street that the traffic light would change before they could all walk across.

Dairy Cup on Wednesday night after church or other week nights. We never patronized businesses on Sunday. The 4th of July carnival grounds were located on property between Clay and Revere Streets. O ur conservative family did not patronize the carnival. For some reason our parents weren’t at church with us one night while the carnival was not far behind the church. My older brothers took me to the carnival. All I remember is the worry of being found out. Under the circumstances it was no fun for me. If our parents ever knew, nothing was ever said about it. In 1956 our family purchased a home in Green Village near Church Hill. In 1959 our family moved to Crossville, Tenn. I married

Kingsport that year and have been here ever since. In 1970 we moved to our current home in Colonial Heights where we have raised our family and enjoyed the seasons of our lives. I love Kingsport. I have enjoyed a tremendous variety of activities through the years including a 32-year career at Eastman; Big Brothers/Big Sisters; Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA); Nicotine Free of the Mountain Empire (Kingsport Tomorrow); Appalachian Express Chorus; Kingsport Liberty Celebration; Meals on Wheels; theater, music and more. I have enjoyed the Kingsport paper since my family moved to the Kingsport area in 1948. I have been a continuous subscriber since 1962.

Broad Street lights were a ‘fairyland’ By CHARLOTTE CARTER

I am 77 years old. I was born and bred in Kingsport and have lived here all my life. My husband and I raised five children here, and three of them live here too. Some of my earliest memories of Kingsport are of the Christmas lights strung the length of Broad Street. They were not the small white Christmas lights that are so popular now. They were large bulbs in vibrant colors of red, blue, yellow and green. They hung across the street from Church Circle to the train circle. To my childish eyes, it was a Christmas fairyland. It was magical and wondrous, but I think I have failed to convey that to my children. I always looked forward to the Sunday issue of the newspaper because it contained more comics than the daily issues. We didn’t call them comics; they were always the “funnies.” Before I learned to read,

I always begged my aunt, Lucille Light, to read the funnies to me. She hated reading “The Katzenjammer Kids” (which I loved) because it was hard to get the accent right. I think reading the funnies fostered my love of reading which continues to this day. My family did not own a car when I was a child. To get to town, we walked from our home on Idle Hour Road to Bloomingdale Road where we caught a bus. O n the return trip, usually we had too many packages to go home by bus, so we would take a yellow cab home. Later, when I was older, my girlfriend and I would ride the bus to town, go to a movie, get a hamburger at Cole’s drugstore, a Coke in summer or hot chocolate in winter, and ride the bus back to her house on Bloomingdale Road, all for about two to three dollars. I don’t remember how much bus fare was in those days, but those under 13 could see a

As a teenager in the mid to late 1950s, it was cool to cruise Broad Street on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. None of my friends or I had our own car. We had to borrow from a family member. The preferred route was around Church Circle, down Broad Street, around the circle at the train station, then back up to Church Circle and repeat. The object was to see and be seen. When we tired of Broad Street, we cruised the parking lot of the Texas Steer

Jerry the monkey was escape artist Dog helped lure primate from tree By ROSALYN FLETCHER

So many memories of “growing up” in Kingsport, but this is a true, funny memory. My father won a spider monkey in a poker game (he said). Anyway, he brought him home and put him in our basement. I was still at school late because we had band practice after school to practice for our Friday night football halftime show. Guy O rley was director. My mother got off work at 4:30 p.m. (from the Kingsport Press). She always walked home as we lived in the “fifties,” which was close to her work. She went down in our basement to put coal in our stoker furnace. The monkey, “Jerry,” was on a ledge and jumped on her shoulders. She didn’t know what it was, so she screamed and ran out the basement door — the monkey followed suit and escaped! Harry Bowher was the Times-News paperboy on Sullivan Street. Jerry jumped into Harry’s bicycle basket. Harry was about 12 years old, but he did the honest thing by taking Jerry to the police department and turning him in. Harry told the officer on the desk that if no one claimed the monkey, he’d like to have him back. By the time I came home

Restaurant. It was on Center Street near the Press. In the ’50s, all the girls wore crinolines, sometimes three or four at a time. I bought most of mine at the Diana Shop on Broad Street. They had the best selection and prices. Back then, there weren’t any stores open 24/7. Most stores closed at 5 or 6 p.m. except on Wednesday and Saturday when they closed at noon. None were open on Sunday, and many were not open on Saturday either. Kingsport has been a good place to live. I cannot imagine living anywhere else.

I have lived in Kingsport all my life. I am 94 years old. One of my favorite places was Broad Street. Shopping at all of the stores. Just before Easter my mother always wore a hat. We would go to the Charles Store on the corner of Broad Street and shop for our Easter hat. Most people then wore hats. Then on Easter, they would go to town and walk Broad Street like the Easter parade. I loved the Nettie Lee shop. I bought my clothes there. Mother and I would go to Freels Drug Store or Woolworth for lunch. Brooks Circle had the highway patrol on one side, and on the other was a restaurant which was called the Chat and Chew. The circle was named for a man that had the service station. O pposite Big Lots was a skating rink, which was very popular then. Mason Dixon was along the little creek where Food City is.

on my bicycle, Daddy was there with Mama trying to explain. Daddy was an ex-policeman (Kingsport motorcycle) so we went to the station to report a lost monkey. As luck would have it, Jerry was in custody. I was thrilled to have such an exotic pet. We took to each other right off. Jerry became our band mascot and went along on our out-of-town games. The bus driver would keep him while we were on the field. Jerry had a sweatshirt with a “K” on it. His cage off of our kitchen where he stayed while we were at work and school had a latch on it, but Jerry’s little (human-like) fingers opened the cage and he escaped again! He was spotted at the train depot atop the box cars. Daddy got off work, grabbed a banana, came to school and got me. By this time Jerry had taken to the trees on Cement Hill. I called to him, holding the banana up to lure him down. He came down far enough to snatch the banana, and back up he went in victory. There was a stray dog that came up to me to see what was going on. I reached down to pet the dog. Jerry got jealous and scampered to us. All was well. We returned home ready for the next episode.

Congratulations Kingsport TimesNews on your 100 years of operation! You’ve been there to record our lives, inform us, challenge us, and bond us as a community. Thanks for your service. Industrial jobs drew my grandparents to Kingsport. The Ralph Lee Burrell Sr. family left the Poe Textile Mill Community in Greenville, S.C., to work at Borden Mills. The Memphis Cotton Exchange sent railroad cars loaded with cotton to the Borden Mills Plant. Large fans blew the cotton into an area for cleaning. The fibers were spun into thread, and later weaved into cloth. Houses were built to supply affordable housing for the mill’s work force. However, more houses were needed. As part of my paternal grandfather’s varied tasks, he supervised the relocation of homes from the Charleston, S.C., shipyard to Kingsport. Houses were dismantled, trucked to Kingsport, and reassembled. Wow, we were certainly ahead of our time in recycling! Borden Mill’s Community Center was a hub for social activities. Many birthdays, wedding/baby showers, and other gatherings were held there or in Borden Mill’s Park. The mill was closed after it was no longer viable, and has since been razed. However, the homes and a large park remain to mark Kingsport’s legacy with “king cotton.” My maternal grandfather, Charles E. Fraley, left managing a coal company store in Southwest Virginia to work for Tennessee Eastman. Many years later, my dad was employed by Eastman. We enjoyed several of the employee family benefits. “Horse Krickers” was a special movie club for children on Saturday morning. Popcorn and Coke were a dime each and oh so delicious! Skating sessions and family movies on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons were available. There were Christmas parties complete with age-appropriate gifts and tickets for the American Legion Carnival Eastman Day rides. Whetting our appetite for travel in the coldest part of winter were the Eastman travelogues. These were live commentaries from distant lands complete with slides or video of the places. As a child I didn’t always appreciate these; I remember groaning a few times before going. As time passed I realized the wealth of these experiences. A few years ago I was blessed to go to a few of those places. A couple of tears were shed when I recognized the

bridge in Lucerne and other locations from the travel commentary at Eastman Auditorium and was grateful for the enrichment we were given. If Dad heard one of us comment about the aroma coming from any of the industries in town, he would smile and remind us that it smelled like While our family put down roots in the Holston Community of Sullivan County, Kingsport was more than the place of Dad’s work. Kingsport was our place to shop! On most Saturday mornings our family would dress up and head to town. Mom and I would wear dresses of course as we would look for items or just “window shop.” The pneumatic conveying system at Parks Belk fascinated me! The sales slip and money would be dispatched to the money room and return with change. The tubes were transparent; transactions zoomed as if magic. Dobyns Taylor had multiple showrooms and was segmented by an alley. Furniture, men’s clothing, hardware, jewelry, lawnmowers, camping supplies — what toys would be there at Christmas! In their window display and inside the store they would display an electric train set that always drew attention. J. Fred Johnson’s had fashion classes available when girls attained that “certain age.” Tips on makeup, posture, manners and skin care were given. To exhibit our poise and confidence we were the models for a fashion show. As I remember, I took the term “runway” to heart and bolted more than glided. Remember our 5 and 10’s? They were places for everything a child could want. In McCrory’s I would purchase candy in the amount our parents had donated. “May I please have 25 cents worth of chocolate stars?” we would appeal. The clerks knew to include tax within our clutched quarter share. In Woolworth’s I would look at every teen’s favorite — latest 45 record, and would on occasion enjoy something from the soda fountain. At Kingsport Savings and Loan we would request one of two cardboard savings folders. Indentations inside allowed us to secure either quarters or dimes to amass enough for a good deposit, which was usually five dollars. Hey, that was almost as good as saving Green Stamps! Loved those things. We’d paste stamps after every trip to the grocery store. Across the street was W.B. Greens where I watched the launch of one or

more space missions. There was quite a crowd gathered with eyes glued to multiple TV sets. An almost reverent silence covered the gathering as if the flag was passing by in the American Legion Parade. Relief and cheers followed as we celebrated together a source of national pride and joy. Ice-cold Cokes in 8-ounce bottles were given to customers at the furniture store. On those rare occasions that we would shop there, we were so very careful not to spill and have the owners change their mind about such Southern hospitality. Aahhh, the teen years! My first memory of a copy machine was at the Kingsport Public Library. How cool! The background was black and the letters were white. Imagine, you could copy parts of a text for a term paper without rewriting all of it immediately! Truly a great time saver. Certain sounds just went with Broad Street. The chiming of the hour from Church Circle, the cars cruising Broad and visiting, and the bells of the Salvation Army followed by “God bless you!” all formed the calliope. On some warm days in the ’60s a hay wagon would be positioned in the street for bluegrass/country music shows. I remember Bonnie Lou and Buster as frequent performers. Kingsport was a good place to be a teen in the ’60s and ’70s. Dating meant a movie, bowling, church group or some type of ballgame. Many of these were followed by a trip to McDonald’s before getting home before 10:30 p.m. Two really big concerts came that especially left memories: Bobbie Vinton and the Beach Boys. O f course we had to practice our drive skills at Brooks Circle, because the big driving test would certainly be determined by how stealthily we could maneuver around it. Or would it be the parallel parking? Who could forget “Teenage Terrace”? It was a local radio show that allowed us teens from various high schools to be deejays. We were allowed the choice of the songs, and more important to our social life, the dedication of each tune. What patient people they must have been with us. What fun! Thanks Kingsport and families for great memories and being a special place to call home. Just like my wonderful parents and family, “you gave me roots and helped me find my wings.” Thank you Kingsport TimesNews for being there reporting through it all.

Britt has memories of simpler, peaceful time By PAUL BRITT SR.

My name is Paul Britt, Sr. I was born in Kingsport on Nov. 1, 1945. My father died when I was four years old. I lived in the Gibson town neighborhood and started to school at Robert E. Lee school in the first grade, We had to walk to George Washington School for lunch in the cafeteria, (no cafeteria in Lee). I walked to and from school. I went to George Washington Elementary from second through sixth grades. Graduated from sixth grade. I remember Kingsport being dry. No alcoholic beverages were sold. I remember church bells ringing on Sunday mornings. My neighborhood friends and I would walk down to the Community Methodist church for Sunday School and church. I remember at that time at the intersection of Gibson Mill Road and Dorothy Street, there were three stores, Ray Lane’s where I can remember Mr. Lane wearing a glove on his hand and having a monkey in a cage there. There was a barber shop on the lower level where I got my hair cut for 50 cents. The second store was few yards down Dorothy Street called “Neal’s Grocery.” The third store was at the corner of Gibson Mill and Dorothy also on opposite side of Lanes, Ketron’s, I believe. I remember school lunches in the 1950s were 25 cents. Sometimes instead of buying lunch in the cafeteria, I remember some friends and I walking from Washington down to the Golden Rule on Boone Street and buying a Pepsi and pouring a pack of peanuts in it, then walking back to Washington. To make some money, I remember going to the Times-News on Market Street to “check out” some papers to sell around town. I remember earning 2 cents per daily paper that cost a customer 5 cents and I would get a nickel for Sunday’s paper that cost a customer 15 cents. O nce selling papers when I was real young, I sold three Sunday papers to the driver and two passengers in a car and was given a half dollar. I thought I was wealthy until I did the math and realized 3 times .15 equals 45 cents and I had only received a nickel extra but it was three papers sold! I also collected pop bottles and gallon glass jugs and sold them for a nickel each, the pop bottles got 2 cents each. When I was small. I remember there being two water fountains set up on the streets, one was marked “colored” and the other “white.” I could not figure that out, then I saw African Americans getting on buses and walking to the back to sit and noticed bathrooms in bus terminals and restaurants with bathrooms

“To make some money, I remember going to the TimesNews on Market Street to ‘check out’ some papers to sell around town. I remember earning 2 cents per daily paper that cost a customer 5 cents and I would get a nickel for Sunday’s paper that cost a customer 15 cents.” marked “colored and “white.” As small and young as I was, I remember the injustice and prejudice I witnessed. I had been taught God loves everyone. I remember two bus terminals, one on Cherokee Street where I could get two hot dogs for a quarter and the other on the corner of Main where buses transported passengers from the Eastman, Long Island, Lynn Garden, State Line, Bloomingdale, West View, etc. I can remember “Bob” working at this bus terminal selling tickets holding a cigar in his mouth. I remember Saturdays in downtown Kingsport, There was always a crowd on the streets in and out of stores like JC Pennys, Freel’s Drug, Dobyns Taylor, Sterchis, Jewel Box, Dollar General Store, Kress’s McCroys, etc. I remember there being five theatres in the Kingsport area including Fox theatre that was in the Highland area. There were State and Strand on Broad Street, Gym theatre on Main, Rialto on Cherokee Street. When I was small, I remember stopping in Kingsport Hardware on Cherokee St. to watch their TV before going on to Rialto to watch a double feature for the same price of 9 cents. When I turned twelve, admission prices to theatres went up to 15 cents. I remember eating at the “Busy Bee” on the corner of Cherokee and Market where I could get two hot dogs for a quarter or a hamburger for 15 cents. I remember my childhood was good. I was raised by a good Christian mother and she did not drive but would walk me to church at CedarView Methodist when I was very young. I remember a time when doors didn’t have to be locked, a very peaceful time when no one rushed. I remember a time God was in our schools and we could say the National Anthem, and a sweet Bible teacher would come into the classrooms and tells us of Bible stories, I remember prayer in school, the Ten Commandments could be honored and displayed. At 70 years of age, I remember!!

Tobacco field Margaret Fletcher of Church Hill submitted this photograph, taken in Kingsport in 1926. Today, this is the area of Sevier Terrace between Stone Drive and Sevier Terrace. The two men are John Parker on the left and his brother-in-law from Greene County, O scar Williams. Parker was Fletcher’s grandfather. This 15-acre tobacco crop was planted in front of the old Buck Sevier house, which was later owned by Mr. and Mrs. M.J. Morrison Sr., Sevier Terrace Drive.

Growing up in Highland was happy and carefree By RON NUNLEY

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of growing up in the Highland community of Kingsport. The neighborhood kids could take a quarter to the Legion pool and spend the entire day. We just had to be home by supper or face the wrath of my mother. That’s back in the days of “switching.” We would hop on our bicycles, with ball gloves draped on the handle bars, and go house to house trying to gather enough kids for a game. Off to Glenwood (Baptist Church), where we played on the asphalt parking lot. Sometimes even football on the asphalt! That parking lot was a focal point of many activities for us. While attending Robinson Junior High, if you were to get into a disagree-

ment at school, you always heard, “Meet me at Glenwood.” That meant after school there would be a gang of kids there to watch the fight. Mostly, the fights came down to a little pushing and shoving. The neighborhood kids frequented a little store on E. Center St. It was between “E” and “F” streets. The store’s name was “Tiny Market.” It was run by Barney Rose. I will never forget the wonderful aromas in that little place. It always smelled like fresh fruit. Absolute best hot dogs I’ve ever eaten! There were no vending machines. You payed a nickel and reached down into the cooler of freezing ice water to retrieve your drink. For fifteen cents you got a cold drink and a moon pie or oatmeal cake. We took our goodies out onto the front of the store

and sat on upturned Coke crates. I remember watching the older boys coming and going. We sat there in awe of their coolness. They had driver’s licenses and really neat cars. Duck tails, tee shirts with a pack of Camels rolled up in the sleeves, always one cigarette stuck behind their ear. I used to love going to the Garden Basket with my PaPaw. We usually bought our water melons there. PaPaw would “thump” a few melons until he found one he liked. Then the man waiting on us would “plug” it so we could sample the merchandise before we bought it. It always tasted so much better at the store. Life was pretty great back then. Carefree and happy. Then came Viet Nam. Another story all together.

Congratulations! Thank You! A Note From Centennial Co-Chairs

We are absolutely humbled and honored to serve as two of the co-chairs for Kingsport’s centennial. A celebration of 100 years is a milestone worth putting your heart into and celebrating with all you have. From Native Americans on Long Island to engaged citizens today, they all have shaped our heritage a decade at a time. Our centennial is a time to reflect on the successes and heartaches over the past 100 years. It is also a time to come together and prepare for a bright, hopeful future. When we think about Kingsport’s Centennial, we think about celebrating the Kingsport spirit, something that makes us unique. It is like folklore passed down through generations. The Kingsport Spirit lived in the early 1900s as much as it does today. In fact, many family businesses started before Kingsport was incorporated and are still here today going strong. What a great expression of community faith!

We also encourage those who are away at college or have moved away to “Come Home to Kingsport”. There will be events and celebrations all year long where you can participate. Think of this as “Renewing Your Kingsport Spirit”. We are excited to participate in this effort with the many, many wonderful and passionate community volunteers who are engaged in celebrating the centennial.

In ’30s and ’40s, Broad Street was the heart of Kingsport By ANN M. SEEGER

Memories of growing up in Kingsport could begin on Broad Street! I grew up in Broad Street Methodist Church on Church Circle. Each Sunday we were there for Sunday School, church and later for youth group, children’s choir, Bible School and whatever was offered. Looking back, there have been many great memories that I’d like to share. Many of them took place on Broad Street. Back in the 1930s and 1940s, Broad Kingsport Archives Street was the heart of downtown. In the Ann Seeger remembers going to movies at 1950s, when I was in high school, the business district had begun to spread out in all the State and Strand theaters on Broad. directions from Broad. Some of my first memories are when and it was such fun. There was lots of exthe American Legion Carnival was on citement for such a small town. Broad Street. Crowds came to the carnival I can remember wading in knee-deep which came the week before July 4th and water on Broad Street, near First National stayed a few days after the 4th. Bank, when the Holston River and Reedy Broad Street also was the “home of Creek would flood out of their banks.

Police tried to put a stop to dams. There was much flooding in the it, but to no avail as no laws were being area that is now Stone Drive, but it wasn’t broken. Back then there were no drugs to built up like it is today. I remember Bunny be searching for! Backer horse stables as being there. I remember “street preachers” proWhen World War II ended, I have in my claiming the Word with loud voices. They mind memories of crowds gathering on carried a Bible, but I couldn’t understand Broad Street to celebrate the end of the a word they were saying. I remember ev- war.

During the football season, each Friday Christmas parades were a tradition afternoon when there was a home game, which began “way back” and I have no the band, cheerleaders in convertibles idea when. The fire engine carried Santa and fans gathered for the parade down on the route, and bands from all the area Broad Street. I was a member of that band, high schools participated. Crowds, really

BIG crowds gathered for this occasion! From those BIG DEALS is where traditions are formed. Broad Street, as I remember it, was the big shopping center for the region. Folks from Gate City, Church Hill, Blountville, Gray’s Station and just everywhere came to Kingsport to shop. My dad bought me a guitar from Joseph’s Music Store. It was located near Main Street at that time. My parents bought furniture from Baylor-Nelms, located at about the same location. At Christmas, I wrapped packages at Fuller and Hillman Clothing Store on Broad. The Kingsport Library was located on Broad after its beginning at the corner of Shelby Street and Center Street. The Kingsport Police Department was also at that location in the beginning. My uncle was a policeman, and he rode one of two motorcycles that the department used to patrol. My engagement ring was purchased from Dobyns-Taylor from Red Cloud, the jeweler back then. Everyone loved Red. My wedding dress was purchased at Miller’s, formerly J. Fred Johnson’s Department Store. If you wanted entertainment, you had to come to Broad Street! To “hang out,” the guys gathered at Wallace News or Palace News. If you took in a movie, you went to Broad Street to the State or Strand theaters. There was also the Gem and Realto, but I don’t think I ever went. The Post O ffice that I first remember was located in the building that now houses the library. The Utilities Building, on the Church Circle, was a gathering place for piano recitals, dance recitals and other lectures or

social gatherings that needed a large auditorium. The Kingsport Inn, located where a bank now has a building, was torn down in the 1960s. At the Inn, guests could rent rooms and locals could go there for a fine meal. My bridesmaids luncheon was held there before our wedding. So, you can see that growing up in Kingsport was a “great ride.” There was enough to keep us busy and happy. We felt safe and free to ride bikes or walk anywhere. There were vast opportunities for growth. There were city tennis courts, Legion Pool, Bays Mountain for hiking. Equally important is that growing old in Kingsport has been fun too. I’m 80 now, and my classmates from D-B are still my friends and we get together regularly. I returned to Kingsport with my husband, Charles, and two children in 1963. This was after I graduated from UT Knoxville and also earned my master’s degree there. My husband and I met while in Rome, Georgia. We have reared four children in the Colonial Heights area, and they’re all married and have families of their own. They all reside in the Kingsport area and have reared their children here. This is a testament to the “Kingsport is a great place to live!” Kingsport is not perfect, but it has been a fantastic place for our family. Thanks Kingsport for providing all the necessities for a good life. Today our family is making their memories with so much more in this area than what I was privileged to enjoy. Sports and recreational activities, the fine arts, theater, bike and nature trails, civic clubs — the list is endless. I consider it a blessing to have been born here in 1935 and to continue to enjoy Kingsport’s offerings.

Garden Club project inspired Memorial Blvd. By NANCY GARRETT

Boating on Patrick Henry Lake This photo submitted by Mitzi Mathews shows her father, Robert Mowell, who was raised in Kingsport and was a Times-News delivery boy in the 1940s. This is a picture of him and his best friend, Jim Dean, boating on Patrick Henry Lake in 1958. The picture was taken by a Times-News photographer from the bridge on Fall Creek Road. He had just bought this boat, and this was his first time taking the boat on the lake.

During World War II, Mr. and Mrs. J.B. White conceived and implemented a plan to plant native flowering dogwoods in memory of members of the armed services who died in the war. The trees were planted by members of the Kingsport Garden Club along the road in front of the Civic Auditorium. This road was named Memorial Boulevard because of these tree plantings. Later, trees were given as memorials to friends and family members. Eventually, 1,032 trees were planted between 1942 and 1970. The custom was discontinued after many of the trees died or became diseased. Trees determined to be capable of surviving were removed to more woodland settings. O n Veterans Memorial Day, Nov. 11, 2015, two dogwoods were given by current members of the Kingsport Garden Club at ceremonies dedicating the expansion of the Kingsport Veterans Memorial. The trees are in recognition of the sacrifices by veterans and in remembrance of early efforts to honor their memories. Members of the Kingsport Garden Club in 1942 were Mrs. E.D. Beals, Mrs. B.K.

Robert Allen George grateful to grow up in a caring community

By ROBERT ALLEN GEORGE

I was born in 1954. My parents were wonderful people. We lived at 1264 Catawba St. My parents taught piano lessons in our home. As a young lad, I went to Palmer Memorial Center for students with special needs. My teacher’s name was Mr. Tocart. He was a wonderful teacher. Later, at the age of 10, my mom and dad learned about a program in Philadelphia. The program was called

“Doman Delacato.” This program’s theory was to teach patterning therapy, which instituted improving the “neurologic organization” of brain-injured children through diet and exercise. This involved approximately 200 people coming to my home to work with me through the week. O ur minister at First Broad Street United Methodist Church announced the program and asked for volunteers to work with me. Immediately, the King-

sport community eagerly signed up to help. Friends, neighbors, church members, teachers and relatives each gave their time three times a week for three years in order to help me. Before the program began there were many tasks that I could not do successfully. I knew I had to complete this program. Because my skill set improved so much during this program, I am now able to live a fuller life. I now have a driver’s license, and I live

was given to me to support his program. Much love for all the support.

Memories of growing up were chronicled by the T-N By MARY LEE DAVIS, Ph.D.

Happy 100th year anniversary to the Kingsport Times-News! Looking back and reflecting on what it meant to grow up in Kingsport, I discovered that most of my favorite memories of my childhood were chronicled and showcased by the Kingsport Times-News. When I was about 4 years old, the paper published a photo of me with several other children sitting on the top row of the J. Fred Johnson Stadium and attending my first football game. Through the years the stadium, its adjacent park and the Civic Auditorium created fond memories, including many family picnics at the park, tennis lessons, learning to drive in the current D-B parking lot, and getting my first driver’s license at the former Tennessee Highway Patrol O ffice (so I could

“cruise Broad” on my own). When I was 7, performing at the Civic Auditorium as one of two children (Laura Husband was the other) elected to “star” in the play “Up In Central Park,” the Kingsport Times-News was there reporting. Later, dancing lessons at the Civic Auditorium in seventh, eighth and ninth grades were great fun. We learned to attend them all, and yes, our loyal news reporters were there, as well. This, of course, created readiness for the D-B Frolics, which followed each home football game. In my senior year, while singing and dancing in the Kiwanis Kapers to the tune of “Mack the Knife,” I was fortunate to once again be showcased in the Kingsport Times-News. You were there when we all were watching the annual Miss Kingsport/Miss Sullivan County Pageants in which my mother, Lydia Davis

(first the J. Fred Johnson, and later Millers “trunk” store model), helped Kingsport contestants perfect their poise for their stage walk and for the questionand-answer portion of the event. Again, for these reasons, the Civic Auditorium was a very special place to me. Clippings from the TimesNews also promoted the programs of D-B Choral Director Miss Hutchinson and the Mixed Chorus and the Madrigalians. I had wanted to be a Madrigalian since hearing them as a student at Ross N. Robinson. When I was selected to be a Madrigalian, I turned down an opportunity to attend a girls school in Mississippi to focus on voice, drama and political science studies. My decision to stay in Kingsport had a huge and very positive impact because I was honored to be selected as a “Symphony Belle,” with waltzing les-

sons with my escort Butch Eanes, and was selected by the Appalachian Girl Scout Council as one of their representatives to the International Girl Scout Round-up in Colorado Springs. Likewise, I coordinated the campaign and gave the “winning” speech for Nixon at the DB school mock election, which was held prior to the National Republican convention. O nce again, the Kingsport Times-News showcased the story with a picture of my receiving a thank you letter from President Nixon in response to my grandfather, Hawkins County State Representative T.J. Davis, having sent him a copy of my speech. Each of these events was chronicled in the Kingsport Times-News. Thank you! Most of my clippings involve stories about my father, Harold J. Davis, and local, congressional and state political activities. A

41-year employee of Eastman Chemical, he served as chair of the Sullivan County Republican O rganization after which Congressman B. Carroll Reece selected him to be the 1st District Congressional Chair — a role he continued with Congresswoman Mrs. Louise Reece and then held with Congressman Jimmy Quillen — until his premature death in 1975. The Kingsport Times-News and Kingsport have shared a unique partnership. The paper has assumed the important role of not only unbiased reporting, but also and equally important, presenting and balancing arguments as an educational and communication vehicle. May this partnership continue to grow as you represent the people and their exciting activities in our region during the next 100 years. Congratulations and thanks for the memories.

Harris delivered papers to new houses on dirt streets By T. RICHARD HARRIS

O ne of my memories of Kingsport happened in the years between 1946-1949. In an area near Borden Mills, where my parents worked, two new streets began to take shape. Redwood Drive and Pleasant Avenue suddenly existed as muddy strips through the field. Houses began to be built and no paving was done in the strips. When houses were completed,

people began to move in, until 20 to 30 houses were occupied. The fact that the streets were mud didn’t hinder families from moving in. My Dad planted the idea in my 11-year-old mind that a newspaper route on those new streets would be a money-making opportunity. So, not having a telephone in our home, Dad drove me to the Kingsport Times-News office on Market Street. When we drove away, I had a job, with the understanding that I

visit the few families on the streets and obtain the subscriptions for the weekday evening and Sunday morning issues of the newspaper. If my memory is correct, 16 families decided to subscribe. I was in business! The dollar signs flashed in my mind. What I didn’t anticipate was the time that the streets would remain unpaved. The mud remained, until it stuck between my bicycle tires and fenders.

Many days, the newspapers were delivered on foot instead of a quick, short bike ride. The amount of money wasn’t great, but with a small allowance from Dad each week, I could always look forward to riding my bike on paved streets every Sunday morning, to the Times-News office to pick up my papers. Yes, they didn’t deliver to the newsboys; we had to go get them. But, there was a bright spot near the

Times-News office in the form of Dixie Maid Bakery. Their main attraction on any Sunday morning, for me, was sugar glazed doughnuts. With 16 newspapers and a box of 6 doughnuts in my bicycle basket, I rode happily to the muddy streets, parked my bike and took a short walk on quite a few Sunday mornings. And, yes, a few more families subscribed before my newspaper career ended.

Byers blessed to live in Kingsport By PAULINE BYERS

Having lived my entire life in Kingsport, I've seen a lot of changes in my 95 years. I have so many good memories of friends and of raising my family here. O ne of my favorite memories growing up was attending Maple Street Methodist Church (which later merged to become Mafair Methodist.) I really enjoyed Bible school and other activities at the church. We had such good times. The picture of Bible school was taken in the early 1930s. I made many friends while attending Lincoln and Dobyns-Bennett schools. Although many of my friends are no longer living, I am blessed to have a few of them left. They were all special to me. I got married in 1939 to Clarence Byers. He worked as an electrician at Eastman for many years until being injured in 1960's explosion. My children all belonged to Horse Krickers at Eastman. They enjoyed the

I grew up in Mount Carmel on Highway (bloody) 11-W near the present Eastman Credit Union branch. In the 1950s as a teenager I could ride the bus to Kingsport on Satur-

days. With less than $2 I could see two movies with popcorn and have a hot dog with chili beans and slaw at Coles Drug, then ride the bus home.

Bill Bowen said he was told this was the first time a football player had made the headlines of the Times-News newspaper.

Times-News headline inspired Bill Bowen to coach and teach By BILL BOWEN

The lime green headlines of the Kingsport Times-News caused quiet a stir in my neighborhood of Borden Mill Village on Nov. 1, 1958, or Nov. 8, 1958. It had my picture as leading the Indians to a victory over Bristol. It was actually my teammates and Coach Cecil Puckett that should have gotten the credit. Frank

Creasy was sportswriter for the Times-News and had a column called “Spikes, Cleats N Sneakers.” Frank gave me the nickname of Mighty Mite my sophomore year in 1956 when I weighed 112 pounds and got to play in the first game. I was told that this was the first time that a football player had made the headlines of the Times-News newspaper, in the remembrance of many.

It brought pride to the Borden Mill Village people. We never forgot the lime green colored newspaper. It helped inspire me to continue my education and to coach and teach. I coached and taught at five different schools in four different school systems. I got my master’s degree and am now pastor of a small storefront church in Appalachia, Va., along with my wife, Freda.

How mother became the ‘pro’ at Kingsport’s first golf course By CLARA WEBSTER HOLT

In 1919 there was a golf course designed and built off what is now Eastman Road, which did not exist at that time. The designer and builder was A.W. Tillinghast, who also built Johnson City’s golf course. He designed and built many golf courses in the United States and Canada. This was to be an 18hole course, but due to the unavailability of land, was decided to be a 9-hole course. The clubhouse was located on a hill directly behind where Lincoln school is today. This large building was gray stone with the pro shop located in the lower floor. The American Legion owned this building. Charlie Danner was the golf professional, and when he left, Theo Webster became the professional. At that time, Webster was recognized as the youngest golf professional in the United States at the age of 17. This was in 1936. At that time, this was the only golf course in Kingsport, and many of Kingsport’s first leaders and business owners played golf there. Just to name a few: Dr. W.H. Reed, Val Edwards, Joe and John Wimberly, Harold Miller, C.F. Payne and many more not mentioned. Young boys who caddied there learned the game and went on to become golf professionals: Robert Cross, Tommy Wright, Dan Archer, Fred Willis, and Dick and Bill

You may have heard or read about the “revival that saved Highland” that took place at Pleasant View Church in 1952. But not that many know about the revival that saved Highland and Park streets 10 years earlier. Dan Graham brought his tent to the lot where the First Pentecostal Church held meetings for many years. My father asked me if I would like to go to that night’s meeting, and I said I would. That night Brother Graham did something I have never seen before and have never seen since. He asked those who were sure they were “saved” to turn around and face the back of the tent. My father turned around, and I was left facing the front and feeling very much alone. When one of the ushers asked if I would like to go forward, I started walking. When I reached the front, I was surprised to find half of the kids in the neighborhood already there on the front row. A young woman of about 20 years old was filling out cards with information on us. When she got to me I said “I’m not saved yet.” “This just means you came forward and is for our records,” she replied. But the next thing I knew, we were all lined up to go on stage and shake hands with the preacher. I thought “Here I am

not even a Christian yet and already I’m a hypocrite!” Now I know shaking hands with the preacher doesn’t make you a Christian, but it did me. When he said “Welcome into the family of God,” I felt like a light had been turned on inside me and everything got brighter. When we got home, my father told my mother, “Well, we’ve got a new boy in the family.” Then a dear saint who was visiting us said she “knew it was for real because she had felt the spirit.” The next morning I walked out into the driveway to enjoy my new world, which seemed to be in technicolor. O ur nextdoor neighbor came out to sweep off her porch. “I hear you got saved last night,” she said. “Yes ma’am,” I replied. “You didn’t get saved. You’re too young, and you don’t even know what saved means,” she assured me. (I was only 10 years old.) I remember going out back and sitting on a skid that was on a pile of wood, and having my first talk with the Lord as a new believer. The world I got was “You’re as ‘saved’ as anyone else. If anyone is saved, you are.” A couple of those who walked the sawdust trail to the altar backslid. The rest have kept the faith, and a couple come by to see me when they are in town. So I guess we weren’t too young after all.

A lady golfer is shown with pro Theo Webster. Webster. A farmhouse was located on part of the land. The Webster family moved there from Highland in about 1939. After World War II, the clubhouse was sold, and five additional holes were built joining the remaining four holes behind the house. When Theo Webster became the golf professional at Johnson City Country Club, the pro shop was set up on the large porch at the rear of the house. Needing someone to order and sell golf equipment and continue to operate the course, Mrs. Webster took the job. She was often addressed as “pro” by the golf companies. I dare to say my mother hit very few golf balls but knew how to run the shop. Maintenance of the course was taken over by Mr. Gray, Robert, Dick and Bill Webster. The unusual thing about this course was my dad had pigs, chickens and even a milk cow that grazed in the short rough right along a

fairway. O ften funny incidents happened while we lived there. My mother would hang wash on the clothes line and one day found a golf ball in her clothespin bag. Needless to say, this ball was never found. I remember Dr. Reed would often paint his golf balls red with fingernail polish, and if the snow was not too high would play golf. I often caddied for Dr. Reed, and my friend Iva would caddy for his golf partner. We must have done a good job because they paid us $10 for nine holes — good money at that time. O ur family has many fond memories of the time we lived there and made many lasting friendships. With the city growing, the land was sold, the course was disbanded, and houses were built on the land where greens and fairways once were. Andrew Johnson School is now located on what was #9 fairway.

Two notable women: Mrs. Victoria Phipps and Mrs. Florida Phipps Lyle By LILLIAN LEEPER

Mrs. Victoria Phipps Mrs. Victoria Phipps was the daughter of a slave, and she was mentioned in a write-up on Rotherwood Mansion. She is pictured here with five of her six children: Florida P. Lyle, Mandy P. Long, Dosey Phipps (Mrs. Effie Mae P. Leeper her daughter,) Maude P. Price, O wen Phipps (descendant, Mrs. Virginia P. Lytle) and Ike Phipps, who was married but no children. In the other picture, Mrs. Victoria is pictured with her grandchildren. She would have been very proud of all of her descendants because her grandchildren and her three times greats are doing great and living from New Canton, Kingsport, California, North Carolina, Arlington Va., just to name a few places. But in this area, Kevin Lyle, Blake Leeper and Coty Sensabaugh, just to mention a few. There is more in Kingpsort and Hawkins County history about this lady and her de-

scendants. Florida Phipps Lyle Mrs. Florida Phipps Lyle was very well known in the Riverview Community. She was given the title in the 1970s by the Kingsport Times-News as the Mother of the Year. She was the daughter of George and Victoria Phipps, and later married John Henry Lyle. They had eight children, and she has two living daughters. Mrs. Florida was a member of Mt. Zion Tabernacle Church. She has a host of grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Born in 1889 and passed 1988, she lived a very fruitful life and loved her family. Among all of their greats, we would have to mention two of them: Blake Leeper and Coty Sensabaugh, who she didn’t live to see, and several more. But I am sure if she was living, she and Mrs. Gladys Bly could really give you a lot of history of Kingsport.

Remembering the tile factory, ice cream and the 4H fair By CHARLES NEWLAND

Years ago there was a tile factory in the area of “O ld Kingsport.” It was across the river from Netherland Inn on the Roller property, now Ridgefields. The factory made clay drain tiles of 3, 4, 6 and 8 inches in diameter and one foot in length. My father told me that beginning in 1905 he hauled many wagon loads of tile from that factory to drain his Reedy Creek farm. He drove a four-horse team with reins only on the lead horse. He would ford the river. Mr. Roller told my father he had never before seen anyone driving a four-horse team with reins

only on the lead horse. Mr. Roller wanted to buy that lead horse. It was not sold. My first remembrance of Kingsport was visiting an aunt and uncle in 1938. They lived in an apartment building on Broad Street which is still there. During our visit, my aunt went to her refrigerator, removed a tray of homemade ice cream and served some to us. I was fascinated with the refrigerator and the ice cream. I had never seen a refrigerator before. O ur home did not have electricity. This was possibly my first ice cream... all associated with early Kingsport. In 1950 I entered my 4-H Guernsey Heifer in the East Tennessee District Fair which was held at the

Civic Auditorium. A tent was erected behind the auditorium to house the animals that were brought to the fair. The owners could stay with their animals overnight. In 1950 I slept behind the Civic Auditorium under a tent with my heifer. At the same time there was a horse show for which there had been built facilities to stable the horses in the area which is the present student parking area for Dobynes-Bennett. The horse show was in the J. Fred Johnson Stadium. I have the “Reserve Junior Champion” ribbon which my heifer received. I also have the “First Premium” blue ribbon for an item my mother showed at that same fair.

Sevier Street in the 1930s: A time of freedom from care and fear By GEORGIA F. HICKS

They were, for me, the best of times — the 1930’s on Sevier Street in Kingsport. In retrospect, it was a time of freedom from care and from fear. There were five children at our house near the beginning of the decade. A baby sister, Jean, arrived near the end of 1932, and Grandpa Fleenor died at our house within a couple of weeks — one member departing and a new member arriving. A baby brother, Eddy, came along a couple of years later, completing our family of five girls and two boys. Especially memorable were the warmth and security I felt there. Around us were the Quillins, the Longs, the Ketrons, the Bradleys and the “other Fleenors,” all of whom contributed to the feeling of belonging. My memories of those years are an amalgam of life at home, playtime with young friends, work at Daddy’s being the oldest and having five sisters, had many opportunities to indulge his penchant for teasing. I can still see him with a wooly worm in his fingers, chasing Margie all the way to Broad Street, she in mortal fear that the worm might touch her skin. There were several youngsters of my own age living near us, and during those earliest years we of-

ten splashed barefoot in the street after a hard summer rain when storm sewers were running over. O ther times we played games in the street. I remember other children sometimes proving that the tar oozing up from the patches was chewable, but I was never convinced to try it. O ften there was croquet on the Long’s back lawn. We played football (yes, girls too) in the yards. I remember Kate coming in to supper one time with a sole torn from her new shoes during an energetic game of “Kick the Can.” I seem to remember a scolding, as money was not easy to come by and shoes were expected to last several months. Our grocery store was on Market Street behind Clinchfield Drug, about a ten-minute walk from our home. Work at the store was a constant consideration, several of us going back to the store a night or two each week after supper to “weigh up” sugar, coffee, dried beans, etc., and to stock up the shelves. O ne task Kate claimed for her own was the creation of artistic displays of fruit in the front window. A stalk of bananas always hung from the ceiling, and we used a banana knife to remove the number of bananas desired by the customer. Sometimes a large tarantula would be hiding among the bananas. O ftentimes when I

reached home after school, Mama would say that Daddy needed help at the store; so I would start off with a piece of cold cornbread and a slice of onion to assuage my hunger until I could do better, which meant helping myself to a cookie or two and perhaps a banana at the store. O n other days I would help

she complied. The robber departed with approximately $300, a goodly sum for those days. Margie telephoned home and in a tremulous voice informed Mama of the robbery. Daddy hurried to the store, first calling the police department. The crime was not solved, but speculation circulated that it was the

“During this decade I went from age 7 to 17 and began to be aware of trouble brewing in Europe. I remember walking to the store on Sept. 1, 1939, when many of the houses along the way had their front doors open and radios tuned to news of Germany’s invasion of Poland.” — Georgia F. Hicks Mama catch up on the ironing which was of a considerable amount and usually included a couple of white shirts with starched collars and cuffs, which I dreaded, but it was in such work that I learned to stick with an unpleasant task until done. The most exciting thing I remember during those years involved Margie at the store by herself during a slow period at noon when the butcher had gone to lunch and Daddy decided to make a quick trip home for lunch. A man, apparently a customer, came up to the counter and told Margie to give him the money in the cash register. She replied, “I will not.” He said, “yes you will too” and pulled back his coat to reveal a pistol, so of course

work of the Bunch gang who were very active at the time. Mama kept a milk cow then, pastured in the area now occupied by Holston Valley Hospital and Cherokee Village. Nell did much of the milking and really seemed to enjoy the assignment as she went tripping off toward the pasture carrying two buckets, one for the milk and the other containing feed for the cow. And this, mind you, was before school hours. Daddy had a Nash automobile, and Ernest was old enough to drive. He had a crush on a girl on Watauga Street and it seemed that every time Daddy permitted him to have the car, he would drive by her house. Kate and I were allowed to

ride along, and he would slam the brakes on every so often, throwing us forward out of the small folding seat that we enjoyed riding would take some of us smaller ones for rides in the sidecar of his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I remember a whirl-wind ride to Silver Lake with Jean on my lap and the “other Fleenors,” Jay and Evelyn, along. All of us were hatless, and I can still see us, with hair streaming back, flying down the highway. I never appreciated snow, but I remember a starlit winter night when a crusty snow that remained for several days previous drew us outside. Several of us, accompanied by Evelyn from across the street, decided to walk to Freels Drug for hot chocolate. Walking was not easy, and we found we could make the best progress by staying in the car tracks. There was no traffic, so this was safe and a memorable walk. I have especially vivid memories of walking down Wateree Street after school and after piano lessons, in September rains, with schoolbooks and music books clutched close under my chin, and an umbrella overhead. The haunting melody of “September Song” evokes the same feelings I had back then. I sing it often to myself as the first signs of Autumn appear, even if just in the rustle of drying corn-

stalks in the garden. An amazing incident occurred in those early years when Mrs. B’s four-year-old son escaped from the bathtub and ran down the sidewalk. Mrs. B., with bath towel in hand, caught up with him three of four houses down the street and carried him screaming back home. Perhaps the first “streaking” exhibition in Kingsport. During this decade I went from age 7 to 17 and began to be aware of trouble brewing in remember walking to the store on Sept. 1, 1939, when many of the houses along the way had their front doors open and radios tuned to news of Germany’s invasion of Poland. The news seemed to cast a pall over everything as I realized that I would never again know the sense of security and well-being that I had enjoyed. Later years have been rewarding, especially since I have had the privilege of living on a farm for more than 40 years and have enjoyed the companionship of a husband, daughter and son. It was a privilege and a pleasure to write the “Country Seasons” column for the Kingsport TimesNews Farm page, for several years, under the pen name of my maternal grandmother, Margaret Ewell Gardner, that name having been chosen for its agrarian connotation.

Precious memories

Couple’s enduring love inspires daughter By DARLENE PIERSON ROBBINS

My Mother, Violet Fleenor, was working at Tennessee Eastman Co. (19411946) when she met my Dad, Kemp Pierson. He was working at the Meade. (He worked there for 40 years.) Mom’s uncle, Cosby Fleenor, worked with my Dad, and decided to introduce the two. Cosby had them meet at the carnival when it was downtown in 1945. They dated for almost two years before they married on March 29, 1947. I was was born the following year and my brother, Roger, was born in 1957. Mom and Dad were mar-

The band was the Grady Church O rchestra, playing for the Christmas dance for the employees of The Little Store Grocery. The Grady Church Orchestra was a local band playing in the 1950s and the 1960s in the Tri Cities area. Band members (from left) were Dorothy (Lucy) Cox, deceased, on piano; Buddy Marsh, deceased, on bass; Grady Church on guitar; Chuck Caudel on drums; and Bob Morton on trumpet.

Kemp Pierson met his bride-to-be Violet Fleenor at the carnival in downtown Kingsport in 1945. They married in 1947 and welcomed their first child, daughter Darlene Pierson Robbins, pictured above center, the following year.

By CLARENCE DAUGHERTY

I moved to Kingsport in 1935 and started working at the glass plant making thirtytwo cents an hour. However, work at the glass plant wasn’t steady, I went to Eastman Kodak in February of 1936 making twentyeight and a half cents an hour, but the work was steady. I lived in a boarding house for four years before I got married, and we all called our landlord Aunt Leola. The boarding house took the Kingsport Times-News every day, so my relationship with the Times-News goes way back. In June of 1941, my wife and I married even though I wanted to wait in case we went to war. We went ahead and got married, and that December the Japanese bombed us. A few years later, I was assigned to a supply division with the U.S. Army in North Carolina for almost a year before moving back to 114 Ravine St. in Kingsport. We then moved to Sullivan Gardens and started a subscription with the Kingsport Times-News in 1947. After watching the Kingsport Fire Department put out a fire when the Sullivan Gardens School burned half down, we

moved back to Kingsport in 1952 and continued taking the paper. Eastman’s fire truck also came out and was on stand-by. We began attending Calvary Baptist Church on Pine Street that same year as well. After working nine years in Kodel (five years in coning and four years in spinning), I moved to refrigeration. The refrigeration department was already taking the newspaper when I arrived, so I saw the newspaper both at home and at work. As they grew up, my two sons delivered the newspaper in town as well. In the mid 1960s, my oldest son used his bicycle to deliver papers. He had a wire net on the front of it to hold the papers, but one day his wheel tore up. I helped him finish his route in the car until his bicycle was repaired. A few years later, my younger son also had a paper route in town. He used to comment on having a hard time crossing Center Street because of the traffic. I have continued to take the Kingsport Times-News to this day, and I’ve even had my picture in there a time or two for birthdays and anniversaries. My wife lived to see our 72nd wedding anniversary, and this month I’ll be 99 years old, which might also end up in the paper.

Paper route a ‘growing up’ experience for young boy By FREDDIE ADDINGTON

In the spring of 1951 I was 11 years old and delivering the evening edition of the Kingsport News. Most of my customers worked the graveyard shift or day shift at one of the plants. The few pages of the paper made it easy to fold into a square that sailed well when thrown. I delivered Lynn Street and Tip Top as well as Hilltop Street. O ften, when the customer was sitting on the porch, I could throw it into their laps. If it hit a wall or door, the paper would unfold and land open and ready to read. Occasionally it would sail on top of the porch roof. Ooooopps. O n a Wednesday, April 11, 1951, I was amazed at the bold headline “MacArthur

Fired.” I remember holding it up and showing it to those I met on my route. I sold a few “extras” that day. I would estimate the letters were an inch high or more. I learned a few lessons about people on collection days. Most had the money ready with the correct change. Some asked me to wait for payday or until “daddy” got home. Some I had to stop delivery until they paid. I usually collected on a Saturday. I respect the folks who deliver in all kinds of weather and have large numbers of customers. But I miss the opportunity for a young person to deliver papers and meet people. It was certainly a “growing up” experience for me.

Calhoun kids delivered the paper Contributed

The big elm and the first port Lillian Jones submitted this painting by E. Hoskins. She said it shows the big elm tree and first port on the Holston River at Netherland Inn. “The way I understand it, it was the first port that they had. That’s where they brought salt up the river,” Jones said.

If you lived in the West View Park area of Kingsport in the late 1950s and early 60’s you probably remember the Calhouns of Calhoun Hill or Fairview Avenue.

My brother George had a walking paper route all over the West View area. He had a little help from his five sisters! He delivered papers on a wagon. He won a bicycle for getting the most new subscribers, and we were all happy to have it! We all got a turn

to ride until we wore it out!! Later, in the late 60’s, my younger brother took over the route and he had some help from the last six Calhouns. In all we were 13 children and we were proud to deliver the TimesNews.

Swagerty family memories: A mother’s ministry, antique cars, half-court basketball and a presidential connection

A picture of Vannie in her later years. She died in the early 1900s, according to Johnnie Mae Swagerty, her great-great granddaughter.

Johnnie Mae Swagerty submitted some of the photos her family has saved over the years. Their roots in the area, go back to the 1800s. Swagerty is youth director and a co-founder of New Vision Youth, a group that provides mentorship services to young people, and leads youth in volunteer work in the Kingsport community. Swagerty's mother, Geraldine Swagerty, is the pastor and founder of Full Gospel Mission Church and the Kitchen of Hope ministry. Among the family’s cherished mementos are the two photographs at left. They are of Vannie Van Buren Elizabeth Johnson Crum. Vannie was nanny to Margaret Johnson, who was President Andrew Johnson’s granddaughter. "Vannie loved people and the work she did, and she loved cooking and teaching little Margaret about the Bible," Swagerty said. A dress of Vannie’s is displayed in Greeneville at the Andrew Johnson site.

Growing up my memories would be going to the July 4th parade and the Christmas parade. Riding a city bus from Hillcrest to town for 10 cents, eating at Kress’ store, seeing a movie for 75 cents, and I had to have popcorn from Wallace paper stand on Broad Street for 10 cents. Buying our school dresses at Charles’ Department Store for $3. My dad used tell us about walking from

Fort Henry Mall Celebrating 40 years of shopping, FUN and adventure in Kingsport!

Watauga Street in the ’40s to Eastman to work all three shifts and taking the train in Kingsport to Slant, Va., on his off days. The ride cost less than 75 cents. And Elizabeth Carroll, Hawaii, said her memory would be “My mom taking me to see the Christmas decorations at the Circle, and the Christmas parade.” Conley Dockery, Knoxville, offered this Kingsport memory: “My memory would be my parents taking me to all things at the Eastman had on Saturday: movies, singing, travel films, and the Christmas parade.”

From the very beginning in 1976 until now, and the best is yet to come! Belk, Sears, JCPenney, Frank Theatres and more than 60 national and specialty retailers and restaurants. kingsporttowncenter.com

Priceless mementoes, precious memories As part of our 100th anniversary celebration, we asked readers to share with us their memories of Kingsport and the newspaper. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen these stories throughout this edition. But we also set aside a photo page to showcase some of these items in the form they were sent to us, because down through the years, this is how people have preserved their memories: in yellowed newspaper clippings, old postcards and faded photographs, sometimes boxes and boxes of them. The digital age will likely change how we preserve treasured moments from our past, but for now we still have these items â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the wonderful, tangible, priceless mementoes of our most precious memories.
