A SALUTE TO EXCELLENCE County Commission The difference a month makes By Focus Staff

On Monday, June 15, the Knox County Commission met in special session. In politics a month is a lifetime, and for some Knox County Commissioners it seemed as such. When the budget was presented to commission on May 11, the lobbying began, with the June 15th special session as the target date. That was the date that would possibly expose some commissioners to a yea or nay vote for a property tax increase to fund schools in Hardin Valley and Gibbs. The lobbying was furious, especially from the Gibbs communi- ty. As well, lobbying was furious from the commissioners to the county mayor, but there was no yield in him. n continuing its series on local However, by the time the public was allowed to weigh high school Student-Athletes of in on June 8, and give their opinions, out of no where a the Year, The Knoxville Focus “grand bargain” had been struck, and Knox County Mayor Ithis week features the Bretscher Burchett and Superintendent of Schools McIntyre were siblings of the L&N STEM Academy treated as heroes.

Missing Andy Rooney Do you remember Andy Rooney from Sixty Minutes? I do and I really miss his dry wit and humorous observations. Andy was born in New York City in 1919 and passed away in 2011. He was a Radio and TV writer who he became a Sunday night TV staple in 1978 when he put together a segment for the con- clusion of Sixty Minutes, entitled, “A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney.” He sat behind a walnut desk (which he built himself) and offered a satirical (some might say “grumpy”; others would say “blunt”) view of trivial every- day themes ranging from umbrellas and cur- rent events to shoelaces and salad dress- ing. He was also a writer for the “Arthur God- frey’s Talent Scouts” and “The Garry Moore show.” Photo courtesy of Photo Play Studios, Maryville, TN However, his career was not without con- The Central High School class of 1955 held its 60th class reunion on June 5th at Beaverbrook Country Club with 51 classmates plus troversy.

In the 1940s he was arrest- ed for sitting in the back of a segregated bus in protest, and in 2008 he applauded the election of Barack Obama as president of the United States “simply because (Americans) thought he was the best choice.” Be that as it may, this colorful figure left us with quite a few memorable quotes.
