Church of the Week: Browns Chapel Church

Nestled on the back roads of northeastern Cocke County since the late 1800s and in view of Meadow Creek Mountain, Browns Chapel Church has served the citizens there for well over a century. More than 100 years ago, Preacher William Kent organized a body of disciples a few miles from the present church and called it Solitude. In the late 1920s, William and Stella Brown donated a portion of the present grounds for constructing a new building originally called Pleasant Hill Church. Church services began in the new building on Sept. 13, 1925. After a few years, the name was changed to Browns Chapel Church in tribute to the Brown family’s contributions.

Banks Custom Cranks; Fishing Lures from Rogersville

Andy Banks has turned a life-long love of fishing into a lucrative business. Andy started Banks Custom Cranks about seven months ago, and his products are selling well with no sign of slowing down. Andy is a detective with the Rogersville Police Department. He has lived most of his life in Hawkins County. He remembered “my papaw got me started fishing when I was six or seven years old. It kind of stuck! I started fishing in a little pond behind my “Papaw Pete’s” house in Mohawk.” Fast forward to 2026; Andy’s boat broke down and he started painting lures to “have something to do.” “I had thought about painting lures for a while, but I didn’t think I was artistic,” he said. “I had never picked up an airbrush before. I found my calling!” Andy has any type of hard baits and all sizes of crank baits. These include jerk baits, glide baits and top water baits. Banks Custom Cranks are available locally at Onyx Salon, Caney Creek Market and Arrowhead Market. Andy has sold at Heritage Days and at the Fall Festival in Bulls Gap.

New Kingsport Bridge will connect Brickyard Park to downtown

The City of Kingsport is getting a major boost to help connect Brickyard Park to downtown. Federal officials have awarded the city 5.6 million dollars to build a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the CSX railroad tracks. The bridge will link Brickyard Park directly to Centennial Park downtown. Local transportation officials say the project will give walkers and cyclists a much safer way to cross the tracks, while hopefully bringing more foot traffic to downtown shops and restaurants. As part of the deal with CSX, the existing street-level vehicle crossing will be permanently closed once the bridge is built. Kingsport will pitch in 1.4 million dollars to match the federal grant, adding to 2.6 million already secured from the state. Design work is finished, and construction is expected to kick off in 2027.

RCS student recognized for winning contest

The Tuesday, Nov. 10 meeting of the Rogersville City Board of Education saw a student recognized for a significant achievement. At the start of the meeting, the board recognized the achievement of RCS fourth-grader Freya Holley, who represented the school as part of Eastman’s National Chemistry Week. Each year, Eastman hosts a competition for a design that will be printed on t-shirts for the event. All of the students submitted design ideas given the theme of “Chemistry under Construction.” Holley’s entry was selected as the winner, and featured on more than 700 t-shirts worn by local fourth-graders on Tuesday, Oct. 27, during Eastman’s event. Toward the end of the meeting, Director of Schools Edwin Jarnagin reported some of what could only be described as both good and bad news. The school’s enrollment has reached 670 students, a number that he said was the highest since he had been there. However, the high attendance has forced the school to “close the doors” on some grades. In between, the board signed off on additional compensation for some staff members. Any active certified staff member hired on or before Dec. 1 will receive an extra $125 a month. Non-certified personnel hired on or
