Gina Grubb and Joe Gaddis win Oak Ridge elections

A former police officer and retired teacher is the newest member of the Anderson County Commission. And Oak Ridge High School's longtime football coach , who now works as athletic director, will be the newest member of Oak Ridge City Council. Democrat Gina Grubb beat Republican Don Layton on Nov. 3 in the race for a District 8 seat on the County Commission. She received 2,190 votes, or 58% of the vote, compared with 1,583 votes, or 42%, for Layton, a retired Anderson County judge. That makes Grubb the unofficial winner. The Anderson County Election Commission will certify the results at a later date. Speaking after her win, Grubb credited the "tremendous outpouring of support (and) generosity" of people inside and outside District 8, which includes Oak Ridge residents who vote in the Emory Valley, Woodland and Hendrix Creek precincts. "It has been a fun adventure so far," Grubb told The Oak Ridger, but she said she is now ready to get to work on the commission. In the Oak Ridge City Council race, the unofficial winners are Joe Gaddis, L.C. "Charlie" Hensley, Ellen Smith and Warren Gooch. Anderson County Commission's District 8 has two seats, as do all commission

Maryville City Schools to host arts and crafts market Saturday

Maryville City Schools employees have plenty of talents outside the classroom. That’s according to Heather Ledbetter, the district’s school health coordinator. And this weekend, she’s helping put some of those talents on display. After months of planning, the district will host its first Made in Maryville Arts and Craft Show — a craft market aimed at showcasing the skills and talents school staff pursue in their downtime. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at the district’s central office, located at 520 S. Washington St. Admission is free. Ledbetter said approximately 28 vendors are expected to participate, offering everything from handmade jewelry and home decor to leather goods, clothing and holiday treats. The idea grew out of her work overseeing employee wellness programs. “We have stressful jobs. Maybe not all the time, but we do have stressful positions,” Ledbetter said. “And being creative is a great outlet for relieving that stress.” Ledbetter said she’s considered organizing a craft market for at least a year. With plenty of district employees pursuing creative hobbies outside their regular jobs, she wanted to give them an opportunity to share their work with the community. Of the approximately
