The Washington County Commission tabled a resolution to re-roof Jonesborough Elementary School, but they’ll face the topic sooner rather
than later.At its Monday, March 25 meeting, the commission vot-
ed 10-4 to defer the project to the Monday, April 1, called commission meeting, which has been scheduled to discuss the Jonesborough School project. Commissioners Bryan Davenport, Larry England, Phil Carriger and Jodi Jones were opposed and Robbie Tester abstained from the vote.
Commissioners said they hoped Monday’s meeting could offer clarity in regards to the potential re-roofi ng, but Phillip Patrick, the school system’s maintenance supervisor, said delaying the roof replacement at the elementary school could set the re-roofi ng back and could take place while school is in session.

[email protected] Neal Smith has only been at Boones Street Market
for a few short weeks, but he just can’t stop talking about the food.
“There is no reason to go anywhere else. It’s phenome-nal,” Smith said. “The quality of the meat is unreal. There are probably Japanese chefs that are mad at the quality of waygu meat I’m getting. It’s ridiculous.”
It’s the kind of “ridiculous” on which Smith thrives.A native of Stoney Creek, Tennessee — “the Hunter com-
munity,” he said — Smith traveled a number of miles to end up back here, close to his roots and in a situation of which he had only dreamed.
“At the risk of sounding trite, because everybody is doing
it, I miss what my grandmother made,” he explained. “My grandmother was an amazing cook. My mom was and is an amazing cook. And I miss, like when I was a little kid, going out in the garden with my grandfather, and coming back home and canning with my nanny. I miss that taste…”
Yet in the beginning, Smith admits he had no idea that recreating that experience for others would become his passion and his career.
He was fi rst bitten by the culinary bug as a teenager at the local Waffl e House.
“My fi rst cooking job was I was a night shift lead at the old Waffl e House on Roan Street,” Smith said. “This was the summer before I was a senior and the summer after.
“I really liked it though. The guy I worked for over there, his fi rst name was Ed, he was the manager…He was

At the committee’s called Thursday, March 21 meeting, Chairman Phil Carriger said the group is prepared to discuss what will be need-ed by the new school’s opening in August of this year.
