The Root (Beers) of Appalachia: A Review of Buddy Dave’s

Buddy Dave’s in Sevierville: An honest review Buddy Dave’s has a drive-thru. Of course, that’s not really shocking as most fast food places have a drive-thru. But as I sat in Buddy Dave’s – which for 30 years operated as an A&W franchise – I openly wondered if there was a less drive-thru-friendly operation than Buddy Dave’s. Maybe if they served spaghetti? Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that the food isn’t good. It’s just that Buddy Dave’s serves real food that’s not designed to be consumed on the move. The burgers are greasy in the best sense with a load of tasty toppings and condiments. The chili dogs are sloppy. And don’t get me started on the ice cream. The soft serve swirls come in regular, mega and jumbo – the last of which is taller than many young children. I can’t imagine pulling into the drive-thru and ordering an ice cream that goes a foot long or taller. Buddy Dave’s is run by the same family that operated the A&W. As such, they’ve taken all the best of the old A&W’s concepts and ratcheted them up into something that surpasses regular fast food dining. A tasty root beer

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

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.

Rogersville passes ordinance tightly regulating data centers

A contentious issue involving regulation of datacenters in Rogersville was resolved at the Tuesday, Nov. 10 meeting with no consensus, but also without further controversy. In October, the Rogersville Planning Commission and legal advisors drew up a draft ordinance that, while not outright banning what it described as “high-density data centers” within the town limits, places so many regulations and restrictions on them that it would be very difficult to locate one in the town. Mayor John Metz openly supported the ordinance, feeling that it would protect the town from any such establishments and their potential side effects, such as high use of town electric and water resources, and noise pollution. However, since it is not a blanket ban, it will be very difficult for a data center or crypto mining business, either of which would fall in the scope of the ordinance, from mounting a legal challenge. There are many more avenues to challenge a complete ban than tight regulation. Metz also stated last month that at under the existing zoning regulations, Rogersville had no way to keep these businesses out. The ordinance passed its first reading last month by a 4-2 vote. Alderman Todd Biggs still expressed concern
