In his weekly Saturday 

address, President Obama 

said his 2014 budget, due 

to be released on Wednesday, 

was not “ideal,” but a 

“compromise” that would 

balance investments with 

deficit reduction and allocate 

money for infrastructure, 

domestic energy, 

education, and job training. 

Obama said the 

budget would close tax 

loopholes for the rich and 

cut spending, including 

Social Security and Medicaid. 

Electric car maker 

Fisker Automotive, which 

laid off 160 of 210 workers 

on Friday and which was 

awarded a half-billion-dollar 

federal loan, was sued 

by the same firm that sued 

the government-funded 

solar panel maker Solyndra 

in 2011 and won a $3.5 million 

settlement in a similar 

case. According to the 

class-action suit in Califor- 

NATIONWIDE 

nia district court, Fisker 

failed to notify its axed 

employees 60 days in advance, 

violating both state 

and federal laws. 

The Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention 

reported on Thursday 

that more than half a million 

children in the United 

States have lead poisoning, 

a number than translates 

to roughly one in 38. In a 

separate study, CDCP officials 

said that more and 

more American women – 

now 48 percent compared 

to 43 percent in 2002 and 

35 percent in 1995 - are 

opting to live with a significant 

other first before 

jumping into marriage. 

A new system of naming 

red meat cuts has been 

cleared by the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, 

Reuters reported on Friday, 

saying that a standardized 

system of 

nomenclature for beef and 

pork cuts would take place 

in coming months. Advocated 

by the National 

Pork Board and the National 

Cattlemen’s Beef 

Association, planned 

changes include renaming 

“boneless shoulder top 

blade steak” to “flatiron 

steak,” “beef under blade 

boneless steak” will become 

“Denver steak,” 

“pork butt” will turn into 

“Boston roast,” “top sirloin” 

will be called 

“coulette,” and pigs feet 

will become “florsheims.” 

Target on Friday apologized 

for a label found on 

one of its plus-size dresses 

describing the color of the 

garment as “manatee gray.” 

The label for the same 

dress in smaller sizes described 

the color as “dark 

heather gray.” 

A rare 1909-11 Honus 

Wagner baseball card sold 

for $2.1 million at Goldin 

Auctions on Friday, arriving 

at the extraordinary 

price selling after extensive 

bidding. The card is baseball’s 

most famous, with 

only 50 to 100 copies believed 

printed and distrib-

And they’re baaack. 

And if you live on the East 

Coast, be warned, you are 

about to be invaded. According 

to entomologists 

at the Wildlife Conservation 

Society on Friday, the 

Brood II cicadas are expected 

to appear in coming 

weeks en masse after 

almost two decades snoozing 

as nymphs underground. 

The exact of the 

emergence is unknown as 

the ground must be 64 degrees 

before the 17-year 

dark, red-eyed, red-winged 

creatures would appear. 

(And once the skin is shed, 

the insects will take roost 

in trees by the millions and 

in weeks begin to look for 

mates. After all, it’s been 

17 years.)

Planning Commission Grants Approvals 

Greg Altum 

Monroe County Regional 

Planning Commission, 

at its meeting 

Thursday, approved one 

subdivision but tabled approval 

of another, wanting 

more information. 

At the meeting held at 

the J.P. Kennedy building 

in Madisonville, the planning 

commission approved 

the subdivision of 

slightly more than three 

acres of the Gardner property 

on Gardner Road into 

two lots. Surveyor Glen 

Harrelson, who was present, 

said it was desired 

that a small portion of the 

property be broken to 

allow for a single family 

dwelling. 

Approval was given on 

the condition that all 

property signatures (including 

from the county 

Health Department) were 

obtained. 

Also discussed was the 

subdivision of three lots 

on Griffith Branch Road. 

Two were 0.91 acres each 

while one 1.08 acres. The 

applicant was James Lee. 

After community planner 

Laura Smith presented the 

matter, however, it was decided 

that more information 

was needed regarding 

the water and septic systems 

on the property. 

Chairman Bill Howe suggested 

the matter be 

tabled. A motion to that 

effect was made and approved. 

In other business, 

Smith announced that the 

Bill Shadden and Gary Hamilton look over an item at 

Thursday's meeting of Monroe County Regional Planning 

Commission. Behind them is surveyor Glen Harrelson. 

body now had a slide pro- 

jector at its disposal, and it 

was indeed used at Thursday’s 

meeting. Smith said 

a screen should be installed 

before the next 

meeting. 

Also present at Thursday’s 

meeting were Sam 

Stamey, Bill Shadden, 

Gary Hamilton, Allen 

Cansler, Kyle Holder, 

Brent Cofer, Kenny

Female Charged in Truck Ramming 

Rear Bumper Crashes 

Car’s Passenger Door 

A Monroe County 

woman got an inside look 

at the Monroe County Jail 

Friday afternoon after she 

was arrested for ramming 

her truck into another female’s 

car. 

Charged by Monroe 

County Sheriff’s Deputy 

Jason Russell with aggravated 

assault was Patricia 

Wallace, 37, of Ogle Road, 

Madisonville. 

Russell said he investigated 

the alleged ramming 

442-3200 

shortly before 6 p.m., 

speaking to a female victim 

who told him Wallace 

tried to block in her car on 

Ogle Road with her Ford 

truck. The victim said 

Wallace had put the truck 

into reverse and had 

backed into her car’s passenger 

door and quarter 

panel. 

Contacting Wallace, 

Russell said she told a different 

version of the incident, 

accusing the female 

of speeding on Ogle Road 

and running her truck off 

Wallace 

the pavement. When the 

female turned her car 

around and came back, 

Wallace said she rammed 

the car but did not intend 

to hurt anyone. 

Steffa 


Charged by the detective 

division of the Monroe 

County Sheriff’s 

Department with three 

counts of theft over 

$1,000 and three counts 

of aggravated burglary and 

by Sheriff’s Deputy CJ 

Williams with evading arrest 

was Nick Carrier 

Steffa of Broad Street. 

The detective division 

issued warrants against 

Steffa following an investigation 

into numerous 

thefts, determining Steffa 

as the suspect in a February 

2013 burglary of a 

home on Peals Lane in 

Tellico Plains, in a November 

2012 burglary and 

theft of an Anderson Road 

home in Sweetwater, and 

in a July 2012 heist at a 

home on Badger Road in 

Madisonville. 

At the Tellico Plains 

residence, Steffa allegedly 

took firearms, electronics, 

coins, collectibles, tools, 

and scrap metal; on Anderson 

Road, he allegedly 

carried off more firearms 

plus jewelry and tools; and 

from the home on Badger 

Road, Steffa allegedly 

lifted several pieces of jewelry 

and two to three days 

later sold the jewelry at 

various businesses in the 

area. 

The detectives said 

Steffa had knowledge and 

access to the Tellico Plains 

and Sweetwater homes 

and had performed work 

at the Madisonville resi-

dence. 

And according to 

Williams, two attempts to 

take Steffa into custody on 

Garrett Road in the early 

hours of September 2012 

were unsuccessful. The 

second attempt occurred 

around 5:30 a.m., when a 

van left a home in the area 

but pulled over and 

stopped when Williams 

initiated his lights and 

siren. 

The driver of the van 

was Doris Holt, Steffa’s 

mother, Williams said. 

When the van slowed 

and stopped, Steffa fled it, 

hightailing it on foot. 

Williams said Steffa ignored 

orders to halt and 

kept on running. A subsequent 

canine track and 

pursuit failed to locate 

him.

A search of the vehicle 

turned up a metal container 

in the passenger 

side floorboard. Inside 

the container was a plastic 

baggy containing a white 

powder, Russell said. 

Police Captain Detective 

Daniel Dockery 

charged the driver of the 

Explorer, Martha Ann 

Thompson, 41, of Rausin 

Road, Philadelphia, with 

driving on revoked license 

third offense. Dockery 

said Thompson was convicted 

two previous times: 

in Loudon in 2009 and in 

Monroe two months ago.

Tellico 


board meeting. This meeting 

had been held on 

March 7, 2013. Alderman 

Davis made a motion to 

accept the minutes as 

read. Seconding the motion 

was Alderman Raby, 

and it passed with all ayes. 

There was no Old Business 

to tend to, so the city 

board immediately turned 

its attention to a few matters 

of New Business. 

However, before jumping 

headfirst into the fullsized 

agenda, Mayor 

Hawkins took a moment 

to thank the library staff 

for allowing the board and 

its audience to drop in for 

a visit. 

Superintendent Mike 

Lowry was the first to take 

to the floor. Recent events 

at schools across the country, 

involving firearms and 

deaths, have awakened 

many to the need to revamp 

and improve safety 

measures. Monroe 

County is no different, 

said Lowry. Not long after 

Christmas break, law enforcement 

and several 

others traveled across the 

county, visiting each and 

every school. This event 

allowed officers to not 

only learn where each 

school was located, but 

also to see—firsthand— 

the layout of the campus. 

Should an emergency ever 

arise, they will know exactly 

where to go in response 

to the call. The 

event was a great one, said 

Lowry, and Monroe 

County was complimented 

on several safety 

features already in place. 

However, it was agreed 

the county could still benefit 

from having more 

SROs in place. 

The same piece of advice 

came while Lowry attended 

a safety summit in 

Franklin, Tennessee. It was 

an informative summit, 

with a vast majority of 

schools represented by law 

enforcement and superintendents 

alike. Many questions 

were fielded, mostly 

revolving around what 

schools and counties could 

do to improve safety. And 

while it was acknowledged 

there is not one technique 

that can guarantee overall 

safety, the addition of another 

SRO or three was 

recommended. 

Lowry has since shared 

the summit information 

with the Monroe County 

Board of Education. 

There are currently 13 

schools in the Monroe 

County area, but only six 

SROs. The Board of Education 

hopes to increase 

that number, to having at 

least seven additional 

SROs. Six would be stationed 

at the schools, and 

the seventhth would be a 

rotating SRO. 

The Board of Education 

is now visiting both 

the county commission 

and local city governments. 

What is possible 

for Monroe County? 

What approach could we 

use to make this plan a reality? 

What is actually feasible 

for towns, with tight 

budgets in mind? These 

are the questions now 

being discussed. The 

Board of Education’s main 

goal is to do whatever it 

can to improve safety in 

Monroe County schools. 

The mere presence of a 

cruiser in front of a school, 

said Lowry, makes a true 

difference. 

Lowry asked the city 

board of Tellico Plains to 

consider adding another 

SRO to the Tellico-area 

schools. A decision must 

be made by next month, 

or at least by mid-May. A 

potential SRO needs specific 

training, and there is 

real competition to net 

such a spot before there is 

no more room. The cost 

of training is about 

$2,000, and Lowry said 

the Board of Education 

would work with the town 

in any way when it comes 

to cost. 

Mayor Hawkins asked 

about the SRO’s salary. 

Salary, said Lowry, is the 

city’s call. Mayor Hawkins 

also brought up the suggestion 

of hiring two parttime 

SROs instead of one 

fulltime. 

In the end, no final decision 

was made on Thursday 

night. However, the 

board confirmed it would 

return to the matter at the 

next meeting. This would 

give the board members 

time to review all their options. 

The town of Tellico 

Plains has recently undertaken 

a serious amending 

of its charter. The original 

document was terribly 

outdated, especially in language. 

The new draft 

cleared up the wording. It 

also changed the town’s 

election date to the federal 

date in November, verified 

department heads, and 

changed the number of aldermen 

from six to five. 

This updated charter has 

since passed through the 

general assembly and returned 

to the board for 

ratification. It must be ratified 

before it could be 

sent to the secretary of 

state for the final steps. Alderman 

Hamilton made a 

motion to ratify the private 

charter. Alderman 

Davis seconded the motion, 

and it carried with all 

ayes. 

The board members 

next discussed the policy 

on water bills. More 

specifically, they took a 

look at payment plans and 

adjustments. The adjustment 

practice has been in 

place for some time. Adjustments 

to water bills are 

mostly made in the case of 

unforeseen leaks, and even 

when swimming-pools are 

newly filled. However, 

Mayor Hawkins pointed 

out there are no minutes 

from the past on which 

this practice was voted on. 

The board now had the 

option to continue the adjustment 

practice, as it is, 

or altering it in some way. 

As the plan stands, one adjustment 

can be made during 

the calendar year. If 

the adjustment is due to a 

leak, the town must receive 

documentation to 

show the leak has been 

fixed. The adjustment to 

the water bill would not be 

awarded until the documents 

were verified. Alderman 

Harris made a 

motion to accept this policy 

as written, and he was 

seconded by Alderman 

Raby. The measure passed 

with all ayes. 

Over the years, the 

town has borrowed money 

from the Water Department 

to help with the general 

fund. The town now 

owes the Water Department 

some $180,000, and 

this money must be paid 

back. Mayor Hawkins informed 

his fellow board

members that there is a 

Pilot Program (as revealed 

by MTAS) for the Water 

Department that would 

help in that regard. As a 

part of the program, the 

Water Department would 

owe the town $10,000 a 

year. This money would go 

to the general fund. If the 

town chose to participate 

in the program, it could 

pay off its debt in a form 

of retro-pay. Going back 

ten years, the town could 

write off $100,000 of the 

$180,000. The town 

would still need to take 

care of the remaining 

$80,000, but this could be 

done through other payment 

plans. 

Alderman Davis made 

a motion to move forward 

with this Pilot Program. 

Seconding the motion was 

Alderman Harris, and it 

passed with all ayes. The 

paperwork for the program 

would be started immediately, 

said Mayor 

Hawkins. Alderman Harris 

asked if this decision 

would impact the Water 

Department in any way. 

Mayor Hawkins said it 

would not, and that the 

town and Water Department 

alike could expect an 

increase in revenue due to 

the new water meters. 

TIRES 

183 Bank Street Tellico Plains


A Red Ford Mustang 

was the subject of the next 

order of business. It was 

seized during a drug arrest, 

and has since just been sitting. 

Mayor Hawkins recommended 

selling the 

seized vehicle. The board 

as a whole was in favor of 

this plan of action. 

Next to take the floor 

was Sandra Synder, a librarian 

of the Tellico 

Plains Library. She took a 

few moments to discuss library 

operations. The Tellico 

Plains Library, though 

supported with money 

from many resources, operates 

on a tight budget. 

Even so, it is a huge community 

asset, supporting 

the southern half of Mon- 

roe County in a variety of 

ways. 

“We consider ourselves 

not just a library,” she said, 

“but a community resource.” 

And how! The Tellico 

Plains Library is chock-full 

of resources and amenities 

for the public. It is open 

six days/41 hours a week, 

and boasts one of the best 

websites (http://www.tellicolibrary.org) 

around. 

There is a mountain of 

books (18,000), movies 

(450), and music for hearts 

both young and old, and 

you can even download 

electronic books through 

the R.E.A.D.S. program. 

Inter-library loan can get 

bibliophiles almost any 

book for free! The Tellico 

Plains Library also has online 

access to the Tennessee 

Electronic Library, 

including Ancestry.com 

for any who wish to fill out 

a family-tree. 

But that is not all. Not 

even close. The Eagle 

Room, a conference room 

for eight with a computer 

and a white board, is open 

to all who need it. Need a 

movie screen? You can 

borrow the library’s 120 

inch movie screen, projector, 

and laptop computer 

for your entertainment 

purposes. The Tellico 

Plains Library also has 

books, movies, and magazines 

for sell, and offers 

faxing, printing, scanning, 

and laminating services. 

Those mired in the GED 

or other standard tests can 

find study support within 

its walls, too. There are ten 

public computers with internet 

access, as well as 

two for young children 

with educational software. 

To that end, the Tellico 

Plains Library provides 

wireless internet 24/7. 

So, yes, you can sit outside 

the library at 2 A.M. 

and check your email. 

The incredible list goes 

on. The library has not 

only a summer reading 

program, but also a preschool 

reading hour. Interested 

in picking up 

French, or learning how to 

use the computer or how 

to crochet? Such lessons 

are offered by library volunteers! 

The Tellico Plains 

Library is also a hub of 

support for tax preparation, 

job searches, homeschooling, 

and exam 

proctoring. There is also 

ongoing support for those 

with limited vision. The library 

is ADA compliant, 

and has a friendly environment 

and staff. It is a safe 

place, said Synder, for kids 

and teens to hang out. 

“We have a lot of things 

we can offer the community,” 

said Synder. 

Mayor Hawkins both 

complimented the library 

for its work. “We’re proud 

of our little library,” he 

said. 

The mayor had still 

more compliments to 

hand out. During a recent 

senatorial survey, the Tellico 

Plains Water Department 

scored a 99 out of a 

possible 100. Mayor 

Hawkins commended all 

those involved with the 

Water Department for 

their hard work and dedication. 

It has definitely 

paid off. 

“We have a water sys- 

tem we can all be proud 

of,” said Mayor Hawkins. 

Alderman Raby also 

had some good news to 

share. Members of the 

Park and Recreation Department 

are working tirelessly 

to put up the new 

playground equipment, 

the last of which has arrived. 

Alderman Raby 

hoped the department 

would be able to add to 

this playground in the 

coming years. 

Mayor Hawkins also 

asked the public to bear 

with the board when it 

comes to the Bradford 

pears along the walking 

trail. Inclement weather 

has slowed down work, 

but these trees will be 

trimmed. 

The last order of business 

for the night came 

from the coordinator of 

the Candlelight Walk. The 

event, she said, has become 

a huge one over the 

years. This is a good thing 

for the town, as it attracts 

tourists and attention, but 

it also means more expenses 

for the Cherokee 

Women’s Club. At the 

moment, it is not too demanding, 

but setting up 

the Walk still costs the 

group some $1,200 to 

$2,000. Would it be possible, 

she asked, for the 

Candlelight Walk to become 

a part of the town 

budget? 

Mayor Hawkins said 

the board is now in the 

process of looking into the 

yearly budget. During this 

review, the board members 

will see if there is anything 

they can do. 

With no more to discuss, 

Alderman Davis 

made a motion to adjourn 

for the evening. Seconding 

the motion was Alderman 

Raby. The measure passed 

with all ayes, and the 

meeting ended at 7:55 p.m.

442 Main Street and step 

inside to see photographs 

from the company’s history. 

“We’re a free-standing 

insurance company,” similar 

to a cooperative, he 

said. “Everybody who has 

insurance with us is a 

member.” Michael Gray is 

vice president and ad- 

juster, he also said. 

The company was 

started by farmers, including 

some from out of town 

who could not get insurance 

otherwise, Thompson 

stated. Today, the 

company has 2,200 members, 

with 11 people on the 

board of directors. Goldie 

Brown is secretary and 

Brandon Hawkins is clerk, 

while Dale Patterson and 

Bobbie Jenkins are agents. 

The company moved to 

its present location in 1963 

after being just across the 

street in a little red brick 

building. Besides fire, the 

company offers coverage 

for wind, hail, and theft, 

said Thompson, who is 

also the oldest living director 

on the board. 

At Saturday’s celebration, 

June Thompson and 

Bill Murr Jr. served up the 

food, assisted by secretary 

Brown.

“They’ve paid off every 

time (twice) I’ve filed a 

claim with them,” said 

Butch Green of Madis-

row of chairs filled. “No 

problem. They’re good.”

Teen Charged with Driving Impaired, Contributing to Delinquency of Minor 

Arrest Comes on Heels of Drivers Busted for Intoxication 

A 19-year-old driver behind 

the wheel of a Honda 

Civic went to jail on Saturday 

after he allegedly consumed 

alcohol and took a 

spin with a juvenile sidekick. 

Charged by Madis- 

The Monroe County Board of Education will 

conduct a workshop Thursday, April 11, 

2013 at 5 p.m. in the boardroom at the Director 

of Schools’ office. The workshop is 

scheduled to discuss the Director of 

Schools’ evaluation instrument. 

Mr. Michael L. Lowry, 

Director of Schools 

onville Police Patrol Officer 

David Wear with underage 

driving while 

impaired, contributing to 

the delinquency of a 

minor, and possession of 

drug paraphernalia was 

John C. Forth of Oak Hill 

NOTICE 

Monroe County Board of Education 

PO #58179 

Drive, Madisonville. 

Wear said he spotted 

the Honda speeding on 

Tellico Street and when 

stopped found Forth 

smelling of alcohol. Forth 

said he had consumed a 

mixed drink at a party. 

Inside the car was a 

smoking pipe with marijuana 

residue, Wear said. 

Also inside the car was a 

15-year-old female. Wear 

said a test of Forth’s blood 

alcohol determined it at 

.10 percent, .02 percent 

over the legal limit. 

On Friday, Tennessee 

Highway Patrol Trooper 

Cory Russell charged Lisa 

Faye Akens, 47, of Mason 

Street, Madisonville with 

DUI, implied consent, no 

insurance, and no registration. 

Russell said he 

stopped Akens’ Chevy Lumina 

on Isbill Road after 

watching the car almost 

strike a curb and cross 

over into the oncoming 

lane. Akens failed sobriety 

testing, Russell said. 

Trooper Chris Best on 

Wednesday charged Andrew 

R. Harden of Rocky 

Springs Road, Madisonville 

with DUI, following 

a traffic stop by 

officers with the Madisonville 

Police Department. 

Harden said he 

took xanax earlier in the 

day, flunking sobriety 

tests. 

Best added more 

charges to Harden’s arrest, 

including possession of 

Schedule III drugs, no driver’s 

license, no registration, 

and no insurance. 

Trooper Bryan Martin 

charged Jose M.E. Gonzalez, 

31, of Loudon with 

DUI on Tuesday after 

Gonzalez said no to blood 

alcohol testing but proceeded 

to flunk sobriety 

tests. Martin also charged 

Gonzalez with failure to 

maintain lane, failure to 

wear the required seatbelt, 

and absence of vehicle registration 

and mandated insurance. 

Sheriff’s Deputy Wes 

Martin charged Gonzales 

with resisting arrest, as he 

chased Gonzalez on foot 

across a field, catching 

him after he fled from him 

and Martin. 

Sheriff’s Deputy Jason 

Russell charged Ronald 

Keith Leinart Jr, 25,of 

Short Bark Road, Madisonville 

with public intoxication 

on Tuesday after 

finding Leinart behind a 

church, where he had 

stopped after drinking two 

40-ounce beers.

A suicide bomber detonated 

his explosives at a 

political rally in the Iraqi 

city of Baqouba on Saturday, 

killing 20 persons and 

wounding dozens of others 

as a Sunni candidate 

for the provincial council 

hosted a lunch for supporters. 

There was no immediate 

claim of 

responsibility but officials 

said the attack was the 

hallmark of al-Qaida militants. 

Five Egyptians died and 

eight more were wounded 

in clashes between Christians 

and Muslims near 

Cairo on Saturday in the 

latest sectarian violence in 

the most populous Arab 

state. Four Christians and 

one Muslim were killed 

when members of both 

communities began shooting 

at each other in the 

town of Khusus. 

A Taliban car bomber 

killed six persons, including 

three U.S. soldiers and 

an Afghan doctor, in 

southern Afghanistan on 

Saturday as American 

troops traveled in a convoy 

of vehicles in Qalat, 

the capital of Zabul 

province. In a separate 

strike in the eastern region 

of the country, an American 

civilian died in an explosion. 

Negotiations between 

six world powers and Iran 

failed to reach an agreement 

on Saturday on how 

Tehran could reduce apprehensions 

over how it 

might use its nuclear technology 

to make atomic 

weapons. The United 

States, Russia, China, 

Britain, France, and Germany 

asked Iran to greatly 

limit its production and

stockpiling of uranium enriched 

to 20 percent, 

which is just a simple step 

away from weapons-grade 

uranium. 

CBS News said on Saturday 

that missiles being 

built in North Korea 

could be the result of Pakistan 

supplying the country 

with its Rodong 

missiles in the 1990s. Senior 

western diplomats said 

the Rodong missile armed 

the southeastern Asian 

country with the capacity 

to deliver nuclear bombs. 

Meanwhile, 100 South 

Korean workers left a 

North Korean factory 

park on Saturday, crossing 

the border that was closed 

to return traffic by Pyongyang 

last week. The 

Kaesong industrial complex 

was the last vestige of 

cooperation between the 

two nations and the closing 

of the border was one 

of the numerous provocative 

moves the North 

made in recent weeks. 

The death toll in 

Thursday’s collapse of a 

residential building being 

built illegally in India’s financial 

capital increased 

to 62 on Saturday as 

searchers moved rubble in 

search of more survivors. 

The eight-story structure 

on forestland caved in into 

a mound if steel and concrete 

with up to 150 persons 

inside. 

And according to a 

study by the Massachusetts 

Institute of Technology, 

the results of which 

were released on Friday, 

the Sahara Desert of 

North Africa was, up until 

only 5,000 years ago, a 

lush grassland of lakes and 

rivers, complete with giraffes 

and hippos. The 

study determined the re- 

gion underwent a sudden 

transformation in one of 

the planet’s most dramatic 

climate shifts.

Dozens of riders traveled 

from Alcoa to Monroe 

County, a ride 

sponsored by Tennessee 

Helping Hearts, that 

helped boost the Frankie 

Watson Scholarship Fund 

at Sequoyah High School. 

The riders arrived at the 

flag memorial site, where 

the ceremony took place. 

Within the program was 

music: “Down By the 

River,” sung by Kristi 

Crabtree and Mike An- 

derson and “One Way Trip 

to Dover” and “America 

the Beautiful” by Anderson. 

Young Ethan Turbyfill 

sang the National Anthem; 

the Reverend Morgan 

Clough offered a 

prayer of thanks, uplifting 

the spirit of God and 

America. Tennessee 

Highway Patrol Sergeant 

Lowell Russell served as 

the ceremonial emcee and 

opening speaker. 

State Senator Randy 

McNally dedicated the 

section of highway in 

memory of Watson.
