Erik Estrada in Baileyton: From Hollywood to Heroics

Greene County, Tenn. – Erik Estrada is not just the familiar face of a California Highway Patrol officer from the 1970s hit TV show "CHiPs." Today, he dons a real-life badge, serving as a law enforcement officer in Virginia. This weekend, Estrada returns to Baileyton for its 29th annual Celebration, merging his Hollywood past with his present-day commitment to public service. Estrada's journey from the bright lights of Hollywood to the blue lights of a police vehicle is unique. He shared, “I wanted to be a cop from the age of 4 until I was 17, then wanted to become an actor, and I did by playing a cop. Now, in real life, I am a cop.” Indeed, life has come full circle for the actor. Estrada's role as Francis (Frank) Poncherello, or "Ponch" in "CHiPs" garnered immense popularity from 1977 to 1983. Still, his more recent roles have caught the attention of a new generation. After participating in a reality show, "Armed & Famous," where celebrities trained as reserve police officers, Estrada found his passion reignited for law enforcement. He eventually became an investigator for internet crimes against children in Bedford County, Virginia, and continues similar work in the Frederick County (Virginia) Sheriff’s Department. But Estrada hasn't entirely left Hollywood behind. He's also known for roles in movies like “Airport 1975” and appearances in TV shows such as “Hawaii Five-O” and “The Six Million Dollar Man.” His stint in the Mexican telenovela, “Dos Mujeres, Un Camino,” saw him relearn Spanish to embrace a pivotal role in Latin American history's longest-running, highest-rated soap opera. For those attending Baileyton's 29th annual Celebration, Estrada's presence serves as a bridge between eras. He will grace the town's parade on Saturday and meet fans at Baileyton Elementary School over the weekend. Reminiscing about previous visits, Estrada fondly remarked about Baileyton and Greeneville, "It’s beautiful there... the folks are great, so they better show up to say hello." However, what makes Estrada's return even more significant is his dual identity: a beloved TV icon and a committed public servant. His story reminds us that it's never too late to follow your passions, and sometimes, they can lead you back to where it all began. Members of Generation X who fondly remember Estrada from "CHiPs" will be keen to reconnect. Meanwhile, younger attendees may be inspired by his dedication to keeping communities safe. Either way, Erik Estrada’s visit promises to be one of the highlights of the Baileyton Celebration this year. Join the community in welcoming Estrada this weekend. The festivities will be held on the grounds of Baileyton Elementary School, 6530 Horton Highway. With a mix of nostalgia and appreciation for Estrada’s real-life heroics, this is an event not to be missed.

Erwin Contemplates Outsourcing Town Events: A Cost-Effective Decision or a Shift from Tradition?

In a recent move that has sparked discussion amongst Erwin's Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BMA), Mayor Glenn White suggests that outsourcing the town's flagship events could offer significant financial savings to taxpayers. During a specially convened Erwin BMA meeting on Wednesday, a 4-1 vote favored issuing a bid package. The aim? To scout for a third-party company competent enough to organize and manage iconic annual events like the Halloween celebration, New Year’s Eve fireworks display, the Great Outdoors Festival, and the Welcome Home Veterans 4th of July parade. Historically, planning these events fell on the town’s communications director. But since the recent resignation, there's been a void in the administrative functions. Mayor White shared with the Press on Thursday, “The communication budget saw a hike from being part-time in 2019 to a staggering full-time cost of $135,000 yearly." With a bid to save nearly $100,000 annually, the mayor asserts that outsourcing might be a boon for Erwin's taxpayers. However, not all board members are on the same page. Erwin Alderman Michael Baker, the sole dissenting voice against sending out the bid package, believes the town should have retained and potentially repurposed the communications director role into a Main Street Coordinator position. Tied to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development’s Main Street Program, this role focuses on rejuvenating downtown events and infrastructural developments. Baker's argument pivots on tradition and autonomy: "We have traditionally handled things in-house. At the end of the day, it would be our event to manage, offering more value for money." Comparatively, many towns and municipalities nationwide have toyed with outsourcing certain events and services. According to a survey by the International City/County Management Association, over 50% of U.S. municipalities use private contracting for one or more municipal services or events, citing cost savings, efficiency, and access to expertise as the primary drivers. Yet, critics argue that while immediate cost savings might be tempting, the long-term benefits of in-house handling, such as community connection, local knowledge, and maintaining tradition, are often overshadowed.
