Senator that killed a Biker in a Hit & Run...... Important
Riley G
What's next, highways named after other killers? Being a retired member of
the New York City Police Department and International President of the Blood
Brothers LE MC, I am deeply appalled by reading the following story!

Greg Harrison Column: A Monumental Mistake
June 1999
I've seen a lot of outrageous things happen in politics since I've been
working here, but this tops them all. It's the equivalent of issuing a
series of O.J. Simpson autographed steak knives. And no, this isn't a joke.
What I'm talking about is the latest twist in a case you've read about here
before. It's the case of Tennessee Sen. Carl Koella.
If you don't know the original story, read on. If you do, stick with me--you
need to hear what's happening now.
The story begins on a late afternoon in October 1996, when AMA member Terry
Barnard was touring on his motorcycle along U.S. Route 321 in Blount County,
Tennessee, southeast of Knoxville. Terry had ridden down from Ohio to enjoy
the great roads and fall colors in the Smoky Mountains.
That ride, and Terry's life, ended when an oncoming van turned left directly
in front of him. Police reports said his motorcycle struck the side of the
van and caromed off it into a stopped car.
Witnesses reported the driver of the van pulled across the road, stopped,
got out, then got back in and drove off.
Terry was life-flighted to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
He was 52, and left a wife, family and many friends to grieve for him.
Back at the accident scene, witnesses gave investigators a detailed
description of the blue van that caused the crash, right down to its state
Senate license plate. And who lived right up the road where the van turned?
State Sen. Carl Koella, who happened to own a blue van displaying Senate
plates. Yet it mysteriously took nearly four hours before the police even
knocked on the senator's door--and almost five hours after the accident
before Koella took a blood--alcohol test.
It turned out that Koella had spent the afternoon with Gov. Don Sundquist,
who had traveled to Koella's home district to bolster support during a close
election campaign. Koella was driving home from that affair when he claimed
he "heard a thunk, and thought I had run over a sign or a rock or
something." He said he got out, checked the driver's side of his van for
damage, noticed a traffic accident across the highway, then got back in and
drove home.
Koella even called the Sheriff's Department at about 7 p.m., saying that he
thought someone behind him had run over a sign, and adding that he had been
told that he hit someone. The officer who took the call said he mumbled and
sounded confused.
A grand jury determined Koella should face felony charges, but the senator
copped a plea on a misdemeanor count. He was fined $2,500 and sentenced to
30 days of community service.
At his sentencing hearing, Joyce Barnard, Terry's widow, finally got to face
Koella in court.
"Eyewitnesses said you got out of your van, walked a few feet toward the
scene, then turned around, got back in your van and left, leaving my Terry
dying in a ditch along the road," she told him. "Any decent person would
have run to the scene to see if he could help in any way. Why didn't you?"
It's a question we've all wondered about.
Ironically, Carl Koella himself then died in January 1998 following
emergency heart surgery.
End of a very sad and appalling situation? Oh, no. Here's the "in-your-face"
update, courtesy of the Tennessee House and Senate. Sen. Bill Clabough, who
replaced Koella, recently introduced Senate Bill 923 "to pay tribute to the
late Senator Carl O. Koella for his exemplary public service."
The bill notes: "Whereas, Carl Koella truly epitomized the ideal of the
dedicated and proficient public servant, and he often exceeded the call of
duty? Whereas Sen. Koella demonstrated tremendous leadership on
transportation issues, particularly in the development of U.S. Highway 321 (
our italics)."
Where is all this rhetoric heading? You won't believe it.
"It is important that the members of this body establish a lasting tribute
dedicated to the memory of our longtime friend and colleague. Therefore,
that segment of Interstate Highway 140 beginning at its intersection with
Interstate 40 in Knox County to its terminus at U.S. Highway 321 in Blount
County is hereby designated as the 'Sen. Carl O. Koella Jr. Memorial
Highway.' ''
Here's the new rule: Kill a biker, get a highway named after you.
The bill was signed into law by Sundquist on April 7. Two signs will be
erected to note the designation.
We'll have more on this incredible development next month. Meanwhile, you
might consider sending your concise and civil comments to: Sen. Bill
Clabough, 309 War Memorial Bldg., Nashville, TN 37243 (e-mail can be
directed to: sen.bill...@legislature.state.tn.us); and Gov. Donald
Sundquist, State Capitol, Nashville, TN 37243-0001 (e-mail:
dsund...@mail.state.tn.us).
Please send copies of your letters or e-mails to the Knoxville
News-Sentinel, P.O. Box 59038, Knoxville, TN 37950-9038 (e-mail:
let...@knews.com) and The Daily Times, 307 E. Harper Ave., Maryville, TN
37501 (e-mail: dean....@thedailytimes.com).
Me? I'd like to send them the following message: As a tourist who has spent
a lot of family vacation dollars in Sen. Clabough's district, if those signs
go up, you'll never see another penny of mine in Knox or Blount counties.
-----------------------------------------------
My comments: I don't care who or what this person did in his public life,
but naming a highway after ANYONE that killed another in a hit in run or any
other CRIME (Felony or Misdemeanor) is truly WRONG and MUST NOT be allowed
to happen.

I disagree with the shotgun idea, or even random black
spray paint. That will just look like random vandalism.
Do something that makes it clear that it is the content
of _that_ _specific_ _sign_ which is being targeted.

How about removing any and all signs referring to the highway ad dumping
them on the capitol steps with a note explaining why it's being done...

This sounds good. I live in Knoxville and I certainly agree that the
Hwy shouldn't be named after the Senator.

I say get a couple of large stickers with Terry B.'s name on them and place
them over the
A-hole senator's name on the sign. Voila- The Terry Bernard Memorial Highway.

Yes, but throw the paint water-balloon style, the splatters will make more of
blood effect, and a more emotional statement.

Maybe making up bumper (like) stickers to paste over
The Honorable Bastard's name might be good? A short
slogan (easily read) might make the point, and they're
relatively cheap.

If you're gonna quote Ric ("Woooooooooooo!") Flair, you
might want to write it so he doesn't look like an illiterate
goober (hint: "woman" is singular, "women" is plural). Try:
"Shut up, fat boy, before I take your wife to a hotel

How about taking the money that would have otherwise have gone to
shotgun shells & paint, and having stickers made that would say
something like:
HIT & RUN MURDERER
that could be placed on the signs right below old 'killers' name.
It would look like part of the sign.
OR -
Have large stickers made that would replace the senator's name with that
of his victim.

I *like* this idea. Although I like better the sound
of "Hit and Run Killer".

And I like *this* one even more. Maybe do both. Any
idea how many signs are planed? Around here, they do
one for each direction.

to the public about what this senator did would be to hold a local
protest rally. As part of organizing the rally, a spokesperson could
contact all the local tv stations and ask for coverage. It probably
would be a good idea to contact the local law enforcement prior to the
event as well, since they would find out about the event in advance
anyway. They would be more likely to treat the attendees more
courteously if they didn't feel that the event was going to turn into
some kind of violent protest.
Shotguns, spraypaint, nuclear devices and other such methods would
only contribute to a bad reputation for bikers and a lack of sympathy on
the part of average citizens for the cause (getting the message out
about the senator's hit and run.)
Perhaps my ideas seem simplistic, but in this case the solution
seems obvious, even if it would take some effort. Maybe a local ABATE
chapter can take on organizing such an event.
In any case, best of luck to all who will deal with this situation.

ROTFLMAO.
(que to reporter) "This is Jill Kennedy, and I'm standing near the sight
where, this afternoon, a small-yield thermonuclear device destroyed a sign
commemorating the late Senator Carl Koella, for whom US 321 is named. Also
destroyed were the towns of Bugsquash and Hogfart as well as any form of
life within a 25 mile radius of the blast. Such random acts of petty
vandalism have plagued this area now for nearly 3 months. Authorities have
promised to look into the matter. . ."

I hate to say it what with all the fun we're having,
but he's right. Trouble is, unless they were able to
force removal of the signs, it would just be a minor
local news event, and eventually it would be forgotten
by the general public. In the meantime, those signs
would still be out there, representing to an uninformed
public what a great and wonderful guy the late criminal
was.

Did you read the news story that was posted? It's
pretty clear that the position of the Governor's Office
is "they don't vote here, so we don't care what they
think."

321(Tenn) or through Nashville in protest of the road named after the
convicted State Senator that killed a biker in a hit & run. This is Rolling
Thunder weekend, and I would bet that many bike will be traveling back
towards the Left coast on Monday morning from Washington DC. A simple
traveling route down I-81 to I-40 for a Nashville ride through protest might
be in order, or a ride through route 321.
Maybe small white crosses with the name of the biker that was killed (Terry
Barnard) plastered in front of the Tenn. capital would be in order. The
press would have a field day with this.
Spread the word, make it so.

Subject: Imprompt to Ride to PROTESTa State highway named after a Hit & Run
Senator that killed a motorcyclist
Mime-Version: 1.0
It's not that hard to get a large volume of bikes to travel down Route
321(Tenn) or through Nashville in protest of the road named after the
convicted State Senator that killed a biker in a hit & run. This is Rolling
Thunder weekend, and I would bet that many bike will be traveling back
towards the Left coast on Monday morning from Washington DC. A simple
traveling route down I-81 to I-40 for a Nashville ride through protest might
be in order, or a ride through route 321.
Maybe small white crosses with the name of the biker that was killed (Terry
Barnard) plastered in front of the Tenn. capital would be in order. The
press would have a field day with this and draw much heat to the situation.
Keep it peaceful. Spread the word, make it so.

Riley,
Perhaps there is something here you do not know about. The Hit and Run Senator
is dead. The Highway named after him is the same one he killed the biker on.
The guy who got it named after him is the Senator who replaced him.
I am sad to say that the only folks who can actually do anything are the
voters of the state.
Later,

Politics suck!
...and so do the people who treat us bikers, racers, etc. like shit on the road.
When are people going to get a clue? I stopped riding on the road and now
I race exclusively. It's more dangerous on the roads thatn the track these
days.
My sympathy goes out to the Barnard family.
