KINGSPORT — It’s not an Eastman executive or running one of the major hospitals in the Model City.
|
However, Lendon Redwine calls his position the best job in Kingsport.
|
Technically, it’s not a job, although he spends numerous hours working to get mentally and physically prepared for it. But Redwine takes his role as the quarterback of the Dobyns-Bennett football team seriously, knowing it invokes as much passion on a Friday night as any occupation with a paycheck.
|
Redwine certainly enjoyed the second half of last season, when the Indians embarked on a six-game winning streak to win the Region 1-6A championship and advance to the second round of the TSSAA playoffs.
|
During that stretch, the Indians defeated Farragut 42-34 to break the defending state champion Admirals’ 19-game winning streak.
|
Redwine led a potent offense — one that averaged more than 30 points per game — by completing 60 percent of his passes and throwing for 2,284 yards. This year could be even better with the team returning a beefy offensive line, its top two running backs, Ian Hicks and Nic Bristol, and a good group of receivers that includes Cade Maupin, Dalton Harkleroad and 6-foot-7 tight end Charlie Browder.
|
At 6-4 and 215 pounds, Redwine is tall enough to see over defenders and strong enough to often escape a defender’s grasp. He’s the latest in a line of tall D-B quarterbacks, following the likes of Duran Ferguson, Jamie Crawford and Chris Cook.
|
His coach sees Redwine as a player with all the tools to be successful.
|
There are several big games on the schedule, starting with a Week 1 showdown with defending Class 4A champion Greeneville and followed just two weeks later by the rivalry game at Science Hill. However, Redwine and his teammates haven’t been looking too far ahead, taking their coaches’ advice of dealing with the task at hand.
|
Redwine made the decision to skip his senior season in basketball to concentrate on football with a goal of playing at the next level. As a student, he enjoys math and science and plans to major in biology in college, working toward a career path as a physician’s assistant.
|
He also loves the outdoors and has traveled to several places. His favorite trip was to Alaska, where he went whale watching. But his love of the outdoors also includes that rush of being outside on a Friday night at J. Fred Johnson Stadium, where thousands of rabid football fans are cheering on the Indians.
|
Before those big moments, he puts in the work on the field and with film study to make sure he’s prepared for his role. Such dedication is what his coach says separates him from the pack.

The government will be accused on Wednesday of being "fundamentally dishonest" about its policies towards disabled people.
|
The TUC general secretary, Brendan Barber, will tell a conference that workers with disabilities are being hit more than other groups by the coalition's austerity cuts.
|
At the Disabled Workers Conference he will say: "No group of people is more affected by the government's savage, ideological austerity than disabled workers. It's no exaggeration to say that when it comes to disability, there is a fundamental dishonesty about government policy.
|
"The coalition is keen to promote the language of fairness and is keen to stress the opportunities available to disabled people, but the truth could not be more different. Nowhere is the dichotomy between rhetoric and reality starker than when it comes to benefits – a lifeline for so many disabled people.
|
"As the rightwing press peddles its demeaning myths about workshy scroungers, the government is slashing £17bn from the welfare budget. It is the poorest and most disadvantaged people who are suffering the consequences."
|
Barber will say that the government's welfare reforms are causing "immense damage".
|
Dozens of disabled workers facing redundancy because of the closure of Remploy factories pitch tents on Tuesday outside the offices of the charity Disability Rights UK in London in protest at possible job losses.
|
Unions have accused the government of planning to close all 54 Remploy sites, with the loss of 2,800 disabled workers' jobs.

TAMPA — Four firms in marketing, construction and secure cash logistics will be the first to go to through a new Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce program designed to help black- and Hispanic-owned companies grow their businesses through two years of guidance.
|
The program, the Minority Business Accelerator, has been in development for three years. Its initial group of participating businesses consists of Chameleon Custom Solutions, Matcon Construction Services, McKenzie Contracting and MidFlorida Armored & ATM Service.
|
"When you look at the size of the businesses," those owned by minorities too often tend to be the "smallest of the small," incoming chamber chairman Steven Bernstein said before Thursday’s announcement at the chamber’s 132nd annual meeting. A chamber study found minority owners run 48 percent of Hillsborough County’s businesses, but those companies account for less than 5 percent of the county’s business revenue.
|
"That needs to change," Bernstein said. "We’re trying to invest in growing our minority businesses ... so that at the end of the day our business community is representative of our community at large."
|
Internally, he said, outgoing chamber chairman Mike Griffin and chamber leadership have taken steps so the organization’s board and executive committee better reflect the makeup of Tampa and Hillsborough County as a whole. Of the 11 members of the executive committee announced at Thursday’s lunch, two are black, three are women and one is Hispanic.
|
"We’re not there yet," Bernstein said, "but we’re getting there."
|
In developing the accelerator program, chamber members visited similar initiatives in Greenville, S.C. and Cincinnati, which created 138 and 250 new jobs, respectively, in a single year. Tampa’s program is designed for local minority-owned businesses with at least $500,000 in revenue, active business plans and well-defined growth strategies.
|
"That’s going to be a game-changer program," chamber president and CEO Bob Rohrlack said, "not just for us, but to the whole community showing that this chamber takes our mission statement seriously, to serve our members and improve our community. Not just us, but the whole community."
|
Tampa International Airport, Tampa Electric, the Vinik Family Foundation and Valley National Bank (previously USAmeriBank) are the founding sponsors of the program.
|
• Outlined its 10-year plan, called Vision 2026, based on three pillars: being a hub for business, being an inclusive organization and being a catalyst for change that can address economically important issues with fact-based solutions.
|
• Announced that it has received a 5-star accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. That makes the Tampa chamber one of 112, or less than 2 percent of about 7,000 chambers nationwide, to receive the distinction.
|
• Gave its H.L. Culbreath Jr. Profile in Leadership Award to former Florida chief financial officer and former Bank of America president of Florida operations Alex Sink.
|
• Previewed speakers for two upcoming events. On Feb. 15, retired Marine Cpl. Michael Jernigan, who lost both eyes while serving in Iraq, will speak at the chamber’s 20th annual Military Appreciation Awards. On April 26, Denver construction company and Colorado Rockies owner Linda Alvarado, the first Hispanic owner of a Major League Baseball franchise, will headline the chamber’s Women of Influence Luncheon.

Ulster Championship favourites Armagh had to dig deep to see off a determined Down in Sunday's tense quarter-final.
|
Armagh, going for a seventh title in nine years, were 1-5 to 0-5 up at half-time with Stephen Kernan getting their goal in the 26th minute.
|
With Armagh's Martin O'Rourke sent-off, accurate frees from Aidan Carr got Down to within a point in the second half.
|
But, in front of 31,000 at Clones, Armagh's experience told and they will face Fermanagh in the final on 20 July.
|
Although they failed to reproduce the fired-up performance which toppled holders Tyrone, Down will feel they missed a real chance to reach their first final since 2003.
|
Will Armagh regain the Ulster Championship?
|
Armagh made the better start but spurned two gilt-edged goal opportunities.
|
Charlie Vernon went for the net but his low shot was saved by Down keeper Brendan McVeigh.
|
Then Brendan Donaghy, a last minute call-up for the injured half-back Aaron Kernan, opted to fist over when a three-pointer looked on.
|
Donaghy's effort added to earlier scores from play by Stephen Kernan and Ronan Clarke which had the Orchard County 0-3 to 0-1 ahead, Daniel Hughes getting Down's opener.
|
Further points from Clarke and Steven McDonnell stretched Armagh's advantage with Aidan Carr landing a free in reply for Down.
|
Armagh's dominance was underlined when they scored a fine goal in the 26th minute, a move from deep ending with Stephen Kernan checknig inside Damien Rafferty to shoot past McVeigh.
|
Down suffered a further blow when influential centre half-back Liam Doyle limping off with a knee injury but two more Carr frees saw them claw it back to 1-5 to 0-5 by half-time.
|
O'Rourke was dismissed for a second yellow card offence when he fouled Damien Rafferty and, although Paddy McKeever landed a free for Armagh, a further three from Carr meant Down were just a point behind at 1-6 to 0-8.
|
The momentum seemed to be with Down but the strength of seasoned campaingers like front men McDonnell and Clarke saw Armagh secured a four-point success.
|
Down: McVeigh; Howard, McCartan, Rafferty; Carr, Doyle, Murphy; Gordon, Colgan; Murtagh, Rogers, Hughes; Clarke, Coulter, Sexton.
|
Armagh: Hearty; Mallon, Bellew, Moriarty; Donaghy, A O'Rourke, C McKeever; McGrane, Toner; Vernon, P McKeever, M O'Rourke; McDonnell, Clarke, S Kernan.

MANILA — Catholic charismatic group El Shaddai has distributed to its members a sample ballot bearing the names of candidates “it will support” for Monday’s elections.
|
The sample ballot carried the names of all the five presidential candidates in alpabetical order–Vice President Jejomar Binay, Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, Sen. Grace Poe and former Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II.
|
Willy Villarama, former secretary general of Buhay partylist and Velarde’s political adviser, explained that all the names appeared on the sample ballots because during the mock elections they conducted, all candidates got votes.
|
“So it’s just up to the members to choose who among the five candidates they will support,” Villarama said.
|
However, the font of Binay and Roxas’ names appeared to be bigger than those of three other presidential candidates.
|
“Sa printing lang siguro yan. Otherwise, kung may isa o dalawa lang na napiling suportahan, bakit ilalagay pa yung iba, di ba? (Maybe, that’s just the effect of printing. Otherwise, if only one or two were being endorsed, then why would we bother to put the names of the others?),” he explained.
|
Only the name of Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was written on the space allotted for vice president in the sample ballot.
|
“That’s because he got 95 percent of the votes, almost unanimous,” said Villarama.
|
This means that Marcos will get the endorsement of Velarde, according to Villarama.
|
He said the list is expected to be read by Velarde on Saturday during the group’s prayer vigil in Parañaque City.
|
In the partylist race, the group is supporting Buhay, which was founded by Velarde.
|
The senatorial candidates to be supported by El Shaddai members are former Interior Secretary Rafael Alunan, former Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, Rep. Sherwin Gatchalian, Sen. TG Guingona, boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, former Sen. Francis Pangilinan, Sen. Ralph Recto, Rep. Martin Romualdez, Rep. Roman Romulo, former Metropolitan Manila Development Chair Francis Tolentino, former Technical Education and Development Authority chief Joel Vilanueva, and former Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri.
|
Last Tuesday, Velarde told his flock that he would announce the names of candidates he would be supporting for the 2016 national polls on Saturday.
|
“Walang sinabing maganda ang mga kandidato sa kampanya kaya wala pa ko napipili (The candidates did not say anything good during the campaign so I did not pick anybody),” he said, adding that he would release the result of the survey they conducted among members of his flock, along with his own choices, on Saturday.
|
“Hindi ko kayo sasaklawan sa karapatan nyong mamili, mamimili din ako at sasabihin ko yan sa inyo sa Sabado (I will not impose on you right to choose. I, too, will choose and I will bare my choices on Saturday),” he added.

Portsmouth have swooped for Manchester City defender Tal Ben-Haim on a four-year deal, subject to a work permit.
|
A successful three-year stint at Bolton attracted the attention of the Blues in 2007 but he lasted just one year in west London before leaving for Eastlands.
|
Ben-Haim made only 15 appearances for Mark Hughes’ side before being farmed out on loan to Sunderland in February.
|
Portsmouth are rooted to the foot of the Premier League following four successive defeats, but Ben-Haim is determined to help them climb the table.
|
‘I’m very happy to be here at Pompey,’ he said. ‘It’s a big challenge because after four games we have no points, but I’m ready for the challenge.
|
‘I want to help Pompey get some good results and take them to the position where they belong.
|
‘We’ve brought a few players in now and I believe that we can turn things around and win some games. I’ve watched a few of the games and we’ve been unlucky to get beaten in all of them. That’s why I’m confident that we can improve quickly.
|
‘I’ve come here to give 100 per cent in each game and no less. I’m sure that’s the same for all the lads.
|
360° cameras are becoming a “thing”! For good reason, not only are they fun to use but they’re getting better and better. The newest is the Insta360 One. It shoots in 4K, has great image stabilization, streams live to Facebook or Youtube and offers a super cool bullettime feature. I took it for a test.
|
The high temperature is expected to reach 54 degrees as a stretch of unseasonably warm weather continues today.
|
There will be areas of fog this morning, but it will give way to mostly sunny skies. expect a low of 31 tonight, according to the National Weather Service.
