earning her wings

Mount Carmel teen has passion for flight By Joel Spears | MANAGING Editor

Sixteen-year-old Rachael Barkley took her first flight at age 12 and she’s been hooked ever since. On October 4, the Mount Carmel teen became the first NJROTC cadet at Volunteer High School to earn her solo wings — and she doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon. “My friends are like, ‘Whoa, Rachael, you can’t even drive a car yet, but you’re flying a plane,’” she joked. “That’s probably the biggest thing I get teased with. It’s hilarious, but that’s the next step.” Rachael received a solo

scholarship, thanks to her parents and the FLIGHT Foundation, and a grant from the Tennessee Aeronautics Commission. Cadet Barkley soloed in only 8.3 hours as the 106th solo student overall in a program recently recognized as one of the nation’s best. Rachael also became the youngest cadet to solo, performing the feat on her 16th birthday. Her mother, Stacey Barkley, said, “We have a very determined, responsible daughter. She’s wanted to fly since she was young, so just seeing her attain these dreams is exciting, but for a parent

it’s also scary to see your child fly off into the sky and think, ‘she has to land this thing!’ But she does wonderfully.” Rachael said she became interested in flying in 2009 when she first joined the Civil Air Patrol. Today, in ROTC, she has the opportunity to participate in activities where she is able to get serious about flying. “I know the ROTC instructor at Sullivan South High School, Lt. Col. Bill Pawley,” Rachael said. “He talked to us about the ROTC FLIGHT Foundation Program where he has a grant from the govern-

ment to reduce the cost of getting students their solo license. That includes ground school, flight time instruction, and the plane. So, in August I took my first flight with him on an instructor-student basis, and we met every Sunday around 9:30 in the morning for about six weeks. Over that course of time, I racked up 8.3 hours. Then on Oct. 4, my 16th birthday, we went to the airport for my solo day. We first went up and took a few flights to refresh my memory. Then we went up and did four touch and goes and a few traffic patterns. “When he felt like I was ready see WINGS, page 13

An active part of her school and the community, Rachael has been Stacey interjected humorously. Rachael said one of the first things she noticed about flying solo was part of the the Civil Air Patrol for three years where she is a chief master the difference in being up there all alone, as opposed to having an instruc- sergeant. She also recently joined the Police Explorer Program. When she isn’t volunteering her spare time at Hawkins County Airport, she is on tor by her side. “Compared to flying with my instructor, it’s hard to get a feel for how the ROTC drill team, the academic team, the PT team, and serves as color guard commander. She is also co-captain of the orienteering team, on the it’s going to be; to have 187 pounds less in the co-pilot’s seat. You can’t really practice that unless you fly solo,” she said. “You take off faster, you fly faster, you land faster, you’re a little bit more buoyant because you don’t have that extra weight pushing you down to where you’re used to.” And, as luck would have it, on her solo flight, Rachael had a couple unpredictable hurdles to cross. “Things that never happened when I was training,” she pointed out with a smile. “We had a person taxi out and take off in front of me, and then a flock of geese flew out in front of me. I was like, ‘Never practiced this one before!’” But a few bumps along the way seem only to make the challenge more interesting for Rachael, who plans to continue pursuing her passion beyond high school. “Having my solo license ... I’m advancing my aeronautical knowledge at Hawkins County Airport, where I volunteer my time and get to work on airplanes, learn Rachael Barkley, 16, is one of the youngest pilots to receive her solo license, and the first ROTC about the systems, and learn how to fix them,” she said. cadet at Volunteer High School to achieve that goal. “There’s just so much knowledge at the airport there.

By volunteering her time at the airport, she the Falcons. said, she is allowed to exchange it for flight time. In her career, she has received the Distinguished Cadet Award, as well “So, hopefully, that will help me to get my pilot’s license a little faster,” she added. “Also, with my solo license, and with an instructor who as the United States Army Reserve Freshman Leadership Award.

Keep it on the SunnySide

“It will be a huge economic boon not only to the big metro areas and tourist hotspots, but it shows people exactly how they can get out in the local communities and find all those hidden gems.” Susan Whitaker - TN Tourism Commissioner

Both Tennessee and local tourism officials want travelers to keep on the “Sunny Side” - the Sunny Side Trail, that is. The Sunny Side Trail, which covers approximately 475 miles, leads motorists on a counterclockwise route from Sevier County through Cocke County, Greene County, Washington County, Unicoi County, Carter County, Johnson County, Sullivan County, Hawkins County, Hancock County, Hamblen County and Jefferson County. According to Tennessee Tourism Commissioner Susan Whitaker, the trail will help boost tourism in the region and find “hidden gems” that area residents may be aware of

but are not well known to others. “It will be a huge economic boon not only to the big metro areas and tourist hotspots, but it shows people exactly how they can get out in the local communities and find all those hidden gems,” Whitaker explained. “There are 328 sites along 475 miles. People are going to be coming into your communities, and you want to make sure when they come you are ready for them, ready to give them a big hello, and ready to say ‘What would you like to spend?’ It’s really great to have tourism be a solution for some of the economic issues that see SUNNY, page 15

we are facing.” Locally, the trail extends from one end of Hawkins County to the other, with easy to spot signs guiding the way. A brochure includes a map and gives information about the attractions and points or people of interest. Hawkins County features more than 30 listings providing a brief history of every town as well as area attractions, restaurants, places to shop and things to do and see. The trail highlights Laurel Run park, for example, which served as the site for the motion picture “The River.” After filming the property was given to the county. The trail also recognizes notable or prominence area residents, such as Rogersville’s Charlie Chase and Bulls Gap native son Archie Campbell, who also is memorialized with a museum and tourism complex in Bulls Gap. The Archie Campbell listing, for example, notes he began his career as a Knoxville radio announcer in 1936, working alongside Grand Ole Opry great Roy Acuff on the daily show “The Midday Merry-GoRound.” Campbell joined the cast of the Grand Ole Opry in 1958. In 1969, he was named Comedian of the Year by the Country Music Association for his work as a cast member and writer for the television show “Hee Haw.” He remained an active comedic performer, speaker and landscape artist until his death in 1987.

CHURCH HILL — “As the saying goes, ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and we all see beauty in different ways, and in different things,” Lora Lyons said. Gathered around a table in the commons area at Church Hill Senior Citizens Center, in front of a

of them. That’s how we learned that he had a lot of knowledge to share also. As we began to discuss our own interests in photography the group just began to grow.” Jerry’s knowledge of picture-taking has grown from his hobby of amateur photography since his days as an employee at Eastman Kodak. “The only thing I’ve ever done at work in anyway related to photography was using Photoshop, but not so much with photographs as with other images,” Caldwell said. “Photography was my hobby. When I worked at Eastman it was under Kodak, and it was a wonderful place to have a hobby like that. They had dark rooms, professional grade studios and none of it was used for business. It was all for hobbyists like me.” Jerry’s hobby has won him several awards, including having his photos featured in “Truck Camper,” a travel magazine, alongside winners from as far away

as Iceland and Australia. Caldwell and the other’s morning coffee chats at Church Hill Senior Center eventually grew into group meetings where photography tips and tricks dominated conversation. Then, in September 2010 the chats were organized into monthly meetings and the photo group officially began. Soon after, members took their first field trip in October. “One of the first places we went was a field trip to Gate City, just snapping photos here and there,” he said, “And when the weather is right, we take field trips all around the area.” “It’s just fascinating,” Marie added. “But whereever we go, there’s different things that we see and we all take different kinds of pictures — whatever see PHOTOS, page 19

catches our eye. It’s just a down to earth, good get together, showing our pictures and learning from each other.” Lora agreed. Her involvement in the group, she noted, also gave her courage to enter and win a local photography contest. “This was the first time I have ever entered a photography contest,” she said. “It’s not that my photographs are better than anybody else’s in our group, because you never know when you take a photo whether it’s going to catch somebody else’s eye. I just love taking photos, sharing them and looking at those other people have taken.” Lyons said she believes it’s important to foster the value of the beauty in things that surround us, and photography is a way to capture it. “I’ve always looked around and saw beautiful things, where some people might look and see nothing,” she said. “I’ve got two grandchildren and I’ll say ‘look at that beautiful sunset,’ or ‘Oh, isn’t that unique,’ and I encourage them to see the beauty in everything around them, not just the mundane things. I think so many people never see the beauty.” For Jerry, though photography has long been his hobby he said being part of the group makes it all worthwhile for him. “To me, being with the people is really more important than the photography,” he said. “The main thing is being together and doing things, and if we take some good photos, that’s great.”

The two women echoed Jerry’s sentiments.

“It really is a lot of fun, and the camaraderie of the group adds to the enjoyment of learning,” Lyons said. Marie added, “I love to take pictures of a lot of different things. What you photograph has a lot to do with where you go, and through our group we travel to new places, meet new people, and learn from each other all the time.” As the three photographers gathered around Caldwell’s laptop in the commons area to view a variety of each other’s photos over his shoulder, the pride in their work was evident.

This feline is basking in the sun. Photo taken by Lora Lyons. “In the short time we’ve had this group, I’ve learned so many things about photography that I never knew,” Lora said admiring an vividly-colored photo of a Church Hill sunset. “We’ve been to some really neat places I would never have known about otherwise, and I feel like I have gained so much knowledge through being a part of the group. It’s a fascinating experience.” The group meets once each month at Church Hill Senior Citizens Center. For more information call Director Tammy Bentley at (423) 357-5387. The center is located at 401 Richmond Street and East Main Boulevard in Church Hill.

county flag While most people are familiar with the United States and Tennessee flags, Hawkins County has its own flag, too. The flag was designed by Dillon Barker, who was a Cherokee High School student when commissioners approved the flag. It features a dark blue background, the county seal in the upper left corner and six gold stars representing the six municipalities in Hawkins County, Kingsport, Mount Carmel, Church Hill, Surgoinsville, Rogersville and Bulls Gap. The stars are located on the blue background in the approximate position they would be on a county map. A gold bar along the edge represents the citizens of the county who do not live inside a municipality, according to a description accompanying the 1999 resolution.

history is alive here Hawkins is one of Tennessee’s oldest counties It was more than 200 and a few odd years ago when a man named Carter settled in a beautiful valley. The state of North Carolina granted him a huge amount of land. There, he established a store and a home. From these humble beginnings, Hawkins County has grown into a progressive community with bustling towns, diverse industries and peaceful farms. One of the oldest Tennessee counties, Hawkins County was first established as a separate North Carolina county on January 6, 1787, when the state legislature divided Sullivan County, North Carolina. The original county was quite large, extending from the North Fork of the Holston River southwestwardly almost reaching present-day Chattanooga. Other counties, or parts of counties, later created from Hawkins, include Hancock, Grainger, Jefferson, Knox, Roane, Meigs and Hamilton.

Prior to its creation by North Carolina, the county was Spencer County, State of Franklin. The act that created Hawkins County empowered seven commissioners to select a central place for the county seat, where a courthouse, prison, and stocks would be built and to levy a tax for the support of local government. The first commissioners meeting took place at the home of Thomas Gibbons on Big Creek on June 4, 1787, where it was decided that Joseph Rogers’s land on Crockett Creek would serve as the location for the county seat. The present-day courthouse on Main Street in Rogersville’s Historic District 6, is the oldest courthouse in the state still in use. The Hale Springs Inn, also located on the Town Square, has undergone a massive restoration and renovation bringing the buildsee HISTORY, page 27

ing where three presidents have stayed back to a useful life. A large, diverse county, Hawkins County wholly contains five incorporated towns within its borders as well as a portion of another. The first newspaper printed in Tennessee was printed here. Since 1885, The Rogersville Review has been a part of the community and is the newspaper of record for Hawkins County. The Review has been published continuously for more than 126 years, making it Rogersville’s oldest existing business. The county’s history includes serving as the home of the the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union from 1911 until 1967. The complex once included a farm, a sanatorium, a retirement home and a technical school — before modern medicine and advancing technology rendered the operation obsolete.

Hawkins County Government Hawkins County is governed by a board of 21 commissioners elected by popular vote every four years, with three commissioners serving from each of the county’s seven districts. The commission meets month-

ly, with all meetings scheduled for the County Commission meeting room located on the main level of the Hawkins County Courthouse. January, April, July and October meetings are scheduled for the fourth Monday of each month at 9 a.m. All other meetings are held on the fourth Monday at 7 p.m., except

a camp based on faith Hope Community Church is paving the way for the youth of this community

BY SARAH PROFFITT |

STAFF WRITER

CHURCH HILL — Camp Hope, a 150-acre property in the New Canton community of Church Hill, is a break from the traditional approach to ministry that, in a little more than a year, has impacted the lives of hundreds of young people across the county. Camp Hope Director Doug Messer says that when he first heard that Hope Church had been granted 75 acres of land on Old Union Road, he immediately

began thinking “Camp.” “As a pastor at Hope, I was involved in a church plant project in Allandale,” says Messer. “When this opportunity came available in a staff meeting, I said that I would like to be involved. It just evolved from that, and now, I’m the ‘camp guy!’” “There are a lot of good camps in the area, but in our county, a lot of kids can’t go because of the price,” adds Messer. “This camp was set up as a free camp. Our main focus is to reach and impact children in Hawkins County who maybe don’t have the privilege of attending camp, and try to make a difference in see CAMP, page 31

150-acres of fun and faith

“Our main focus is to reach and impact children in Hawkins County who maybe don’t have the privilege of attending camp, and try to make a difference in their lives.” CAMP, continued from page 30

their lives. “ Camp Hope features log cabin-style bunks, a covered pavilion for meals and crafts, a campfire for evening vespers, a riding ring with horses, archery and ropes courses, sports areas, and a 1,360-foot zip line. What makes the camp so special is the fact that it was built and is funded entirely by volunteers and donations. “The camp is run by a large group of church members and volunteers,” says Messer. “Some of the team members are involved in construction and some of them have businesses in town, but a lot of them approach this as a volunteer job.” “We weren’t even supposed to do camp last year,”

Pictured are some campers and an adult leader having a great time recently at Camp Hope in Hawkins County. says Messer. “We just pulled off the first weekend in October and decided to do another one, and ended up doing four camps before it got too cold to camp.” “It’s just a God thing,” says Hope Community Church member and camp volunteer, Ann DeWitte when she describes the camp. It costs approximately $5,000 to run the camp for a week, and it is all funded by donations and volunteer work.” DeWitte says she realized how important the camp is to the community when a young camper noticed her in WalMart as “The Camp Lady.” She said that the child was eager to return to camp and sleep in a real bed. Sleeping in his bunk at Camp Hope was the child’s first experience sleeping somewhere other than the floor of his family’s travel trailer. The child told Ann that the pillowcase he made at camp reminds him of the love of Jesus every night before he goes to sleep. “This is our gift to Hawkins County,” says Hope Church’s exuberant Junior/Senior High Youth Pastor see CAMP, page 32

CAMP, continued from page 31

Chris Bishop. “The followers of Jesus have gone into every place they visited with the idea of making that place better. We want to make this place better. We want lives to be impacted and for families to be healed.”

“The wonderful thing about camp is, not everybody is a preacher and not everybody can teach Sunday School, but everybody fits in here,” CAMP HOPE DIRECTOR DOUG MESSER

“Our campers can come here with no strings attached for their families,” adds Bishop. “Even if they come here for one week a year for 10 years of their lives, we have done something to make their live better and point them to what we think is the best difference maker they will ever experience; which is to know God and be loved by him.”

Hope Church was given another property nine miles north of Camp Hope they are developing into an “Extreme Camp.” “Extreme Camp will be a primitive camp for older youth and will have rock climbing and kind-of an ‘outback’ type of environment,” says Messer. “We are going to use the extreme camp, mostly, for training our counselors. It is primitive, so I can get everybody’s attention there. We can go over the training materials and tell them what camp kids are like and how to deal with any problems.” “The wonderful thing about camp is, not everybody is a preacher

and not everybody can teach Sunday School, but everybody fits in here,” observes Messer. “Volunteers can come out and work, or teach activities, or handle the horses; whatever they feel led to do. Everybody has a place.” Each Camp Hope counselor and staff is background checked and trained prior to check-in. A registered nurse is present at all times in the main pavilion’s medical room see CAMP, page 33

and one adult and one college-age counselor are established in each cabin. Bishop says that he will be spending most of his time at Extreme Camp. “It’s funny,” says Bishop. “If you talk to Doug or another one of our pastors on staff, Chris Fraser, who has Eagle Scout experience, they will tell you I am an inside, air conditioning kinda dude! It was kind-of weird that I would even get excited about this, because it’s not who I am. Doug and Frazier had a running thing between themselves to turn me into a camp guy.” Bishop says Messer and Fraser’s attempts to make him a “camp guy,” were successful after the first overnight camp. “It was absolutely the coolest thing I believe I have ever done in my life,” says Bishop. “We brought a trailer out and set it up in a field at the camp. We draped it, raised Bishop says that it is amazing to watch how the camp has changed the way Hope Church directs ministry.

“We are able to mobilize our Senior High youth. They serve as counselors for Hope Street kids camp, and can’t wait to come back after each camp is over,” says Bishop. “It’s not an easy thing to find a place a teenager wants to serve.” “Campers check phones and electronics at the entrance of the camp, and, to the amazement of their counselors, they are begging to stay one more night,” he continues. “They don’t even miss their phones. They can set their phones to the side and not worry about responding to texts and tweets. This is life off steroids.” Senior High camper and Hope Street counselor Katie Day says Camp Hope strengthened her spiritual walk because she was able to minister to children younger than herself. Senior High camper, Tom Schmidt, says the best part about Camp “It was absolutely the coolest thing Hope was meetI believe I have ever done.” ing new people. “We had a HOPE CHURCH JUNIOR/SENIOR HIGH YOUTH PASTOR five or 10 minute CHRIS BISHOP sessions each night where we were able to talk with the other people in the room,” says Schmidt. “My siblings and I met a lot of new friends and had a great time. I can’t wait to go back. I will most definitely be a counselor for children’s camp.” Messer encourages local churches to join in on the Camp Hope experience. “Churches have found out about us and are calling!” says Messer. “They want to do camps with kids in their church, but then I encourage them to do a mission camp; which means we provide the kids, the food, and the activities and they bring youth and youth sponsors from their church to run the camp. Of course, we train them a week before they do that. We encourage churches that do mission camps to follow up with the kids and to invite them to their church.” Camp Hope is located at 1069 Old Union Road in the New Canton.

discover Bulls Gap Although officially incorporated in 1955, Bulls Gap traces its history back to 1792 when John Bull, a gunsmith from Pennsylvania, received a North Carolina land grant for 55 acres of land on Bays Mountain. Bull settled in the area and operated a trading post and stage line through the natural passageway which became known as Bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gap. The East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad built the first tracks through the Bulls Gap area in 1857. The ET & V line connected with the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad and provided a route from Bristol, Tennessee to Atlanta, Georgia with connections in Washington,

D.C., Knoxville, Memphis, Augusta and Charleston. In 1886, the two combined to form the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad. During the Civil War, the gap and rail line were important to armies on both sides. Upon completion of the Rogersville line by the Rogersville and Jefferson Railroad in 1870, the town

was renamed Rogersville Junction by the railroad, although area residents and even the post office used the name Bulls Gap.

Country entertainer Archie Campbell, star of the television show “Hee Haw,” is the town’s most famous native son. A museum containing memorabilia from his career, samples of his art work and a replica of his childhood home is located beside town hall.

Largest city, by population, in Hawkins County Church Hill, with a population of more than 6,800 residents, is the county’s largest municipality and has a lesser known identity that takes its history back to the first settlers west of the Appalachians. The city’s roots give it distinction as one of the original gateways to America’s frontier because it was home to Carter’s Store, one of the first stopovers for travelers headed into the postColonial west. The store was established by John Carter and Wil-

liam Parker in the 1700s, then pillaged in the Shawnee Raid of 1774. At the Sycamore Shoals Treaty in 1775 the Carter and Parker were awarded the land known today as Carter’s Valley for reparation. In addition to Carter and Parker’s legacies, Church Hill as we know it was initially called Spencer’s Mill, a wayward stop on the Great Stagecoach Road. Tradition, however, states that in the 1800s when the Methodists and their team of circuit preachers established a log church on the hill that overlooked this tiny village, early postal services would mark packages for delivery to the “church on the hill.” The name stuck, was shortened to “Church Hill” and for more than a century the First United Methodist Church, for which the city bears its name, was the only church serving the immediate community. It wasn’t until 1958 that Church Hill was chartered, becoming a town and swallowing

Today, Church Hill is considered a bedroom community of Kingsport and is home to dozens of neighborhoods, having expanded its reach north to Carter’s Valley, west to Surgoinsville in the New Canton and Greenland communities, south to the Holston River. To the northeast Church Hill borders Mount Carmel, which shares an early history with the community, prior to their charters. The city’s estimated household income is approximately $40,700. In the first decade of the 21st century, Church Hill

was the fastest growing location in Northeast Tennessee and maintained a growth rate increase of approximately 16 percent. The city’s residents have access to five public parks which include sports and recreational facilities, public handicapped accessible fishing areas, and boat access.

discover hawkins county

Town boasts an average household income over $46,000 Mount Carmel, much like its western neighbor Church Hill, is named after a Methodist church built in 1897 that stood where city hall is today, at the corner of Hammond Avenue and U.S. Highway 11W. When the federal government’s 11W superhighway project came roaring through eastern Hawkins County in the 1960s, many of Mount Carmel’s landmarks were razed for the new road. The only structure that still exists from the original Mount Carmel United Methodist Church is the public library, formerly a church fellowship hall. Mount Carmel’s history spans three centuries, beginning in 1847 when Frederick A. Ross, the original owner of Rotherwood Plantation, gave Hawkins County two acres of land to build a District House for use as a school, church and meeting place by citizens in 6th civil District. The south section of the property was set aside as a public graveyard. Given the liberty to assemble there freely, and because it was on a hill, residents coined the name “Liberty Hill” which emerged as Mount Carmel’s earliest reference. The name was later given to Liberty Hill School, now known as Mount Carmel Elementary School. In the years that followed the District House was demolished, and Liberty Hill Cemetery is all that remains as a monument to the area’s early history. A lesser known fact about Mount Carmel is that it was home to Revolutionary War hero, Cherokee Indian agent, and former Tennessee Governor Joseph McMinn. McMinn’s home, dubbed “New Market,” was also razed in the 1960s to construct four-lane 11W. It was here in 1786 that McMinn settled with his bride, but there is no record as to the size of their original farm. The oldest neighborhoods of Mount Carmel were for many years considered part of the Church Hill area,

alongside Harvey Brooks’ expansive Allandale Farm. However, following the annexation of Allandale by the City of Kingsport and the incorporation of Church Hill in the 1950s, Mount Carmel citizens moved quickly to keep their identity and chartered a separate locale. On August 16, 1961 areas such as West Ridge, Liberty Hill and Block City became the Town of Mount Carmel. The new Mount Carmel United Methodist

Church was also rebuilt in 1967 on the city’s aptlynamed Independence Avenue. Today, Mount Carmel maintains services including the library, a park and a senior citizens center for a growing population of more than 5,500 residents and numerous neighborhoods as a bedroom community of Kingsport. It’s estimated household income is approximately $46,700. The town’s board of mayor and aldermen meets on th 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:15 p.m. in the first floor courtroom at city hall, located at 100 E. Main St. For additional committee meeting dates and times, wastewater treatment concerns, garbage or brush pickup schedules, and more call Mount Carmel City Hall at (423) 357-7311.

discover hawkins county

Tennessee’s first newspaper was printed in Rogersville in 1791 One of the oldest towns in the state of Tennessee, Rogersville was settled in the early 1780s by an Irishman named Joseph Rogers. Rogers, with the help of other local settlers, laid out a plan for the town, and the town of Rogersville was chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1789. The plan included a public square, deeded to the town government, which would host the town’s public well and the county courthouse. It was along a major stagecoach route leading to Kentucky and the Cumberland settlements. The Hale Springs Inn, 110 West Main Street, was built in 1824 by John A. McKinney, an early settler, lawyer, and judge. After undergoing a comprehensive renovation the inn features nine spacious guest rooms and suites all with private baths. The inn has three presidential suites : Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, and James Polk. The renovation also included the dining area and construction of a new kitchen. The Town Square is the center of downtown Rogersville. On each corner of the square is a historic site. The Hawkins County Courthouse is the oldest original courthouse still in use in the state. It was designed by John Dameron and built in 1836. Its brick columns and palladin windows over the front door have attracted the attention of many architects, with the building recently undergoing a $2 million renovation. Just across Main Street is the Masonic Temple, site of the oldest continually operating lodge in Tennessee. Chartered in 1805, Overton Lodge #5 Free and Accepted Masons was named for Andrew Jackson’s law partner, John Overton. The building was built in 1839 as the first branch of the Bank of the State of Tennessee, failing just after the Civil War because all its assets were in Confederate bonds and money. The Hale Springs Inn and Kyle House are on the other corners of the square. The Kyle House was built in 1837 as a 22 room mansion for William Simpson. During the Civil War, Confederate officers and soldiers were housed here. Just across Main Street, Union officers and soldiers were housed in the Hale Springs Inn. Tennessee’s first newspaper, the Knoxville Gazette, was printed in Rogersville on November 5, 1791, where it remained for one year before being moved to Knoxville. A Tennessee Newspaper and Printing Museum is located in the old Southern Railway depot at the corner of Depot and Broadway Streets. The building, built in 1890, also houses the offices of the Rogersville Heritage Association.The city also operates a single

school, governed by an elected school board. The Rogersville Board of Mayor and Aldermen are elected to four-year terms of office. The terms are not staggered. There are six aldermen seats and a mayor, with the next city election to be held June 2013.

recognized for success

Reaching the highest possible level of academic achievement We began this school year with some exciting news from the Tennessee Department of Education when we were named one of twenty-one exemplary school districts out of Tennessee’s 136 for attaining both the achievement and gap closure measures under our state’s accountability system. Barely one month later, we received even greater news when Rogersville City was named a reward school for both performance and progress based on last year’s test scores. According to the Department of Education, Tennessee’s reward schools are made up of the top five percent of schools in the state for performance as measured by overall student achievement levels and the top five percent for year-over-year progress as measured by gains in student achievement. For

our district and school to be recognized in both categories is truly an honor, puts us in elite company, and speaks loudly to the dedication of our Board of Education, supervisors, administrators, teachers, students, parents, and an overwhelmingly supportive community. With greatness, come high expectations and a renewed commitment to providing the optimal learning environment for our students. Our annual measurable objectives (AMOs) determined by us and the state raise the bar yet again for this year with achievement growth expected from 1.8 to 2.7 percent in third-eighth grade (aggregate) reading and math, third grade reading and math, and seventh grade reading and math. Gap closure in reading and math 3-8 (aggregate) for our economically disadvan-

taged students versus noneconomically disadvantaged students and students with disabilities versus non-students with disabilities is expected from 1.1 to 4.0 percent. The great staff at Rogersville Rebecca C. Isaacs City School -Director was recently enhanced with the placement of a fulltime safety resource officer funded by the City of Rogersville. Officer Chris Pinkston is busy keeping us safe; building positive relationships with our students that will follow them through school, career, and life; and representing the Rogersville Police Department with

integrity and pride. Again, on behalf of the staff, students, and parents of Rogersville City School, I extend heartfelt thanks to our city leaders, police officials, and Board of Education for their commitment to our safety with Officer Pinkston’s placement. Not only have our staff and students worked tirelessly and given us great notoriety academically this year but also great sportsmanship and prowess have been demonstrated athletically by our coaches, student athletes, and fans with season play that extended to tournament, conference, and area championships and second and third place finishes in the state. Our work is on-going; and I urge you to see what’s currently happening in Rogersville by visiting the school website at www.rcschool.net.

The town was named after one of the first settlers

discover Surgoinsville

discover hawkins county

Town offers rich history of lands and people Surgoinsville has a long history that begins with the historic properties that have been part of its farmlands for generations. Having developed more slowly than its neighbors, but most notably with the addition of Phipps Bend Industrial Park, Surgoinsville still retains much of its charm. While the Town of Surgoinsville’s story begins in1815 when it was chartered, the history of its people and many others in Hawkins County begins at Stony Point and New Providence Presbyterian Church. The oldest Presbyterian church in Tennessee, New Providence also includes an historic cemetery where a Revolutionary War soldier was laid to rest and many tales of folklore have been plotted. The first sermons at New Providence were led by famous Presbyterian frontiersmen Reverends Samuel Doak and Charles Cummins. Doak would later become a founder of Tusculum College, the oldest coeducational institution associated with the Presbyterian Church. He was also the first Presbyterian minister to settle in Tennessee. Many names recorded on early books at New Providence are representative of families still residing in Hawkins County. Near the church stands the Fudge Farm. Built in 1825 by Conrad Fudge, it served as an Inn on the Great Stagecoach Road. Caretakers still maintain one of the three oldest barns in Tennessee at the Fudge Farm. Stony Point is also home to the Armstrong House, reportedly the oldest brick home in Hawkins County. A famous historical figure also spent the night at Armstrong House. King Louis-Philippe of France or Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orleans, slept there and later recounted the visit in his memoirs published in Paris. Closer to Surgoinsville’s central business district,

on old Highway 11W, is Lyonsdale Farm. Located on 1,640 acres, the farm was once home to Lyons Store, a two-story brick building, that operated from 1800 to 1900 and served as a local post office from 1837 to 1866. A conscription center for the Confederacy was also located there during the Civil War. Surgoinsville itself was chartered and named in honor of the French Hugenot, James Surguine, one of the land’s first white settlers. Today, the town maintains two public parks and a public fitness center for its residents, along with other

public services. The estimated household income in Surgoinsville is approximately $41,800. The town’s board of mayor and aldermen meets on the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in the town hall courtroom, located at 1735 Main St. For additional committee meeting dates and times, garbage or brush pickup schedules, and more, call Surgoinsville Town Hall at (423) 345-2213.
