Andrea Davidson, Bulls Gap to headline 4th of July concert

Singer, songwriter, producer and instrumentalist Andrea Davidson and band, along with Hawkins County’s own “Bulls Gap” country music band will be the featured performers at the 2019 Fourth of July show — on Thursday, July 4 — at Rogersville City Park.

Andrea Davidson

Born in Louisville, Kentucky and raised in Madison, Indiana, Andrea’s commitment to music’s ability to bring people together led her to win the International Song of Peace Award in Ireland, fundraise to donate guitars and teach music to children in South Africa, and open for the Dalai Lama as he toured the world to promote peace and compassion.

She moved to Nashville in 2014, signed a record deal with Warner Brothers, a publishing deal with Warner Chappell, and a production deal with Jay Joyce.

While in Nashville, she co-wrote with various acclaimed songwriters, got a song

placed in the hit TV series “Nashville”, and toured extensively all over the US. She is currently starting up a program called Voluntour - an organization that gathers groups of artists together to tour schools and inspire creativity in youth in grades K-12.

Andrea recently moved to Pressmen’s Home, in Rogersville, to start a music venue, The Castle Barn @ Pressmen’s Home, a family friendly venue launched its first Saturday Concert Series on Tennessee’s Birthday, June 1, 2019.

The concerts will bring nationally-

known musical acts to the valley, and will also be open during the day each Saturday for Disc Golf, Corn Hole Tournaments, Yard Games, Hitting the Green, Food, Drinks, Arts and Crafts Vendors, Golf Course Hikes, and Fishing.

Bulls Gap Jerry Vincent and Scott Arnold – who comprise the country music duo Bulls Gap – have been a part of each other’s lives for years.

“We started first grade together, and we graduated high school together,” Arnold said.

They also grew together musically.

“We did all the talent shows in high school, and had a guitar and amp after high school, and said that we were going to make music,” he added. “We began to play locally, and then we bought sound equipment, and doing shows for fire departments and rescue squads all over the country for several years, selling several thousand CD’s and cassettes at those shows.”

Those shows made a name for the duo all over the Southeastern United States – including Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia. Word of mouth quickly spread throughout the industry, and soon the band was opening for acts such as Darius Rucker, Sawyer Brown, and the legendary Vern Gosdin.

In 2008, the duo released their album Keep On Believing, and soon found themselves all over country radio with songs such as “Country Kind of Cowboy.”

Then, life – in this case, a series of business and personal matters that needed their attention – happened.

But, the bond – and the music between these two men couldn’t be denied. So, the duo returns with the aptly titled “Ain’t It Funny How You Never Know”, a collection of moods and lyrics that are all steeped in reality.

And, that’s the way that Bulls Gap likes it.

“We’re everyday people,” said Jerry Vincent. “We get out here and work every day, and do what we have to do to make a living. Our music and words comes from

Bulls Gap On Stage — City Park Thursday, July 4th at 7:45 p.m.

our hearts, and is everything to do with our life. We just write about what we do and who we are.”

The new disc is a collection of heartfelt entries into the Bulls Gap song catalog as the inspiring “Have A Little Faith” and “Words,” as well as the thought-provoking title cut, which is their philosophy on life

and music. One never knows where the road leads – and where the music will take them.

“I just think it’s a good record, and takes us back to let people know who we are,” said Arnold. “We’ve always just tried to be who we were. There’s been a lot of opinions from people trying to change us,

suggesting the kinds and types of songs that we needed to do. But, the only way we’ve been comfortable with ourselves and our music is just to present both just the way that we are – two men who are proud of their upbringing, and ones that love what they do.”

What you did not know about the Pledge of Allegiance “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”.

The very first version of the Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by Francis Bellamy, and originally published in The Youth’s Companion on September 8 of that year This was a part of a national patriotic school program in which all schoolchildren were to learn and recite the Pledge, coinciding with the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It read, “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Bellamy made the pledge rather ambiguous as he intended it to be used by any nation that so wished.

In 1923 the words, “…of the United

States of America…” were added. This was for the first National Flag Conference and was suggested by the American Legion and the Daughters of the American Revolution, chiefly to help migrant school children to understand to which country they were pledging allegiance.

In 1942 Congress amended the Flag Code to say the Pledge should be recited standing, facing the Flag, with the right hand over the heart.

The phrase “under God” was added at the request of President Dwight David Eisenhower as our nation was threatened

by Soviet Communism. The President told Congress those two words would “reaffirm the transcendence of religious

faith in America’s heritage and future,” and “strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country’s most powerful weapons in war and in peace.”

Following this 1954 amendment, the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America now is, “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Notice that “one nation under God” is not separated by a comma. Congress meant the phrase to describe that because our nation is one under God, we are indivisible.

God bless America.

Celebrating my Independence Loving God. Loving family.

Loving community.

Loving country. Forever grateful.

It was on July 2, 1776 that the gutsy Second Continental Congress voted to declare the nation free. Thomas Jefferson then wrote a Declaration of Independence on July 4. It was further edited by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. In a letter to his wife Abigail, Adams said, “The second day of July 1776 will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America.

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever.”

Well said, Mr. President.

Through the years the day of the writing of the Declaration has taken precedence over the day of the Declaration itself, but that really doesn’t matter to me, usually a stickler for correctness on matters of that sort. What really matters is that our national and personal independence still is valued. And here in Rogersville there truly is celebration.

It is my habit to get in my car around 8:00 am and to drive through the Historic District to look at the flags displayed at most every home.

These are the homes I know from my childhood, homes I walked past mornings and afternoons on my way to and from Rogersville City School.

The homes are neighbors themselves, having lived beside each other, some more than a century, standing together through sun and storm, just as our nation has done.

As I ride from one end to the other of Main Street, my heart is moved at the sight of our Public Square. Yes, it is the public’s square, left to us by actual deed stating it is the property of “all present and future residents of Rogersville.” The flags fly in front of our pre Civil War buildings and the lush flower beds designed and maintained by Sandra Otto and other city employees. Many early mornings on the Fourth, I saw Alderman John Johnson with a trash bag picking up litter before the parade came through.

This impressed me very much and I will never forget it, public service, the American way.

As I turn the little corner on College Street to enter my own driveway, I glance over at Dick and Jill Burdette’s

front porch from which always hangs an antique flag with only 45 stars. I think of how our nation grew from those Thirteen Original ragtag Colonies to fifty states, one out in the ocean, the last two added in my own lifetime.

The remainder of the morning is spent making food to take to Jessica and Jeff’s annual picnic at noon. This is the kind of event I love. Guests will

range in age from toddlers to those approaching 90. Most everyone will be dressed in red, white and blue.

Even earrings. My beautiful aunts have clothing for every occasion, and this is no different. They will have on patriotic ensembles, for certain. And the children will be all decked out for the day, even wearing star spangled See CELEBRATING on page 15

AMERICAN FLAG The American flag symbolizes many things to many people. While the American flag is proudly displayed in millions of buildings and homes across the United States year-round, it tends to draw special attention each summer, when Americans celebrate their independence on July 4.

The Flag Code formalizes and unifies the standards of respect that must be given to the flag, even containing specific instructions regarding how the flag should not be used. The following are some of the rules that govern how to display the American flag.

RAISING AND LOWERING THE FLAG According to USFlag.org, the American flag should be raised quickly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously. While the Flag Code suggests the flag should be displayed only between sunrise and sunset, if it is displayed at night, it should be illuminated.

The flag should be saluted as it is hoisted, and when lowered that salute should be held until the flag is unsnapped from the halyard or through the final note of music, whichever is the longest.

When displayed indoors, the flag should be displayed to the right of the speaker, staging area or sanctuary. Any additional flags hanging in the room should always hang to the left of the American flag. When flags are grouped for display, the American flag should be in the center and at the highest point of any flag.

Proper placement of the flag is to the

Celebrating

We will sit on the lawn and watch the parade while having our lunch.

There will be bands, heroes, beauty queens, politicians and bright red fire trucks. The children will dash out into the street to grab the candy tossed out along the parade route. But that will be okay because the parade is quaintly casual with those watching calling out

half staff upon presidential or gubernatorial order.

When covering a casket, the American flag should be placed with the union at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should never be lowered into the grave.

PARADING THE FLAG

ETIQUETTE The American flag is an enduring symbol of freedom and sacrifice to millions of people across the globe. The flag should always be displayed with the utmost respect and in adherence to the guidelines set forth by the Flag Code. right of the doorway when standing in front between the top and bottom of the staff. of the house, on the same side as your heart. During mourning, when the time comes to lower the flag, it should once again be momentarily raised to the peak before it is IN MOURNING The American flag is often displayed in lowered.

The American flag is flown at half staff mourning. When placing the flag at half staff, first hoist it to the peak for an instant when mourning designated, principal before lowering it to a position halfway government leaders. It also must be flown at greetings to those they recognize in the parade, and everything will be moving at a laid back holiday pace to make the joy last as long as possible.

In the afternoon I will watch a few really old patriotic movies and nap a little during the heat of the day. Usually one friend or another will invite me for a barbecue supper, after which we will venture into the extravagant activities arranged for the whole town’s enjoyment at our City Park.

I prefer to watch the fireworks on

the lawn of the Clay-Kenner house.

We take quilts and lawn chairs and I usually have sparklers for the children.

But maybe not this year because of the lack of rain. When we had a baby or two, we would watch the fireworks from the upstairs porch of my house so those who fell asleep could be carried inside and tucked into a crib.

I miss those days. Sometimes I tell Neely we won’t have another baby until she gets married. She is horrified at the thought.

As long as I can recall, my aunts

When the American flag is carried in a procession, such as in a parade, the flag should always be to the right of the marchers when it is the lone flag being represented.

When other flags are carried, the American flag may be centered in front of the others or carried to their right. Parade audiences should salute the flag as it passes in the procession.

FLAG RETIREMENT When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.

In observance of Flag Day, Boy Scout Troop 199, Cub Scout Pack 100, and American Legion Post 21, of Rogersville, held an American Flag Retirement Ceremony at the American Legion Post on East Main Street on Saturday, June 15. Veterans, retired and current, emergency personnel and their families were invited to attend to participate in the ceremony.

American flags which need to be retired because of dirt or damage can be left in the wooden box on the lower porch of the Rogersville American Legion Building. have loved to watch the fireworks in Washington and listen to the Boston Symphony Orchestra play their patriotic tribute. Sometimes I watch a little of that. Overall, the day is perfect. It is a time to revel in family, home, Rogersville, the Nation.

Mostly I do all Adams wrote about except the solemn act of devotion to God Almighty. I intend to do that this year. After all, “If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.” Another John wrote that.

Of One Accord Ministry:

Freedom from Hunger Drive Benefits Area Food Pantries Once again the R o ge r s v i l l e 4th of July Committee is partnering with Of One Accord and event attendees to provide non-perishable food items for three food pantries in Hawkins and Hancock Counties. Food pantries here experience high demand due to lack of employment opportunities and low wages.

When school is out for summer, children where we live are hungry. They can have breakfast and lunch at school, but food may be unavailable for many during summer break.

Countless studies show children living with hunger and malnutrition may be dramatically impacted for the remainder of their lives with developmental issues and

health problems.

Current statistics for this area indicated 21.9% of children in our area are in danger of being hungry. The rate of hunger for the elderly is 10.3%, up from 2017. 64% of the hungry in our area do not qualify for federal food assistance programs.

As you plan your day at the Park, please stop by the grocery store and pick up some food items which would be filling, nutritious, and tasty. Rita Jones, Community Nutrition Program Director says, “We love all the children we reach through our summer food ministry, and strive to reach each hungry child in the county.”

You may contribute your food at the

booth on the left side of the street at the Park Boulevard entrance to City Park beginning at 4 p.m. on the 4th. For further information, call 423-272-2646.
