Carter Elementary School has to be one of the oldest buildings in the Knox County system if not the oldest. The county is planning to do $5 million dollars worth of renovations. Parents are reporting that there are a multitude of structural problems at the school.
The country was able to find funds to build a new school in a quickly growing part of the county. Why not for Carter Elementary? Don't you wonder if East Knox county got the same attention if it might grow faster too?
All Knox County students deserve to have the best that the county can provide. The students and parents of the Strawberry Plains and Carter communities deserve to have a new building for Carter Elementary School and they deserve to have it now.
Carter Elementary parents demand new school, not renovation

Coleman smiles after guilty verdict is read
The saddest thing about our court system is that Lady Justice sometimes goes unserved. In my opinion, this was tragically the case todday.
Vanessa Coleman received a total count of 17 guilty verdicts for her part in the murders, rape and carjacking of Channon Christian and not Chris Newsom. The families of the victims were somber after the verdicts were read. The parents of Vanessa Coleman held hands and cried. Vanessa herself smiled broadly at the verdict and patted the backs of her attorneys.
My heart breaks at the pain the families of Channon and Chris are going through. I am also saddened for the family of Vanessa Coleman. Her ability to smile speaks volumes. No parent should have to endure what any of these people are and will be going through in the coming years.
