Union County’s heritage isn’t limited to country music stars. It extends to the natural world as well, specifically the largest white oak in the state of Tennessee, located in Maynardville on Monroe Street. Now, the tree is the inspiration for a new logo for the city of Maynardville. On Feb. 3, Steven Roark of the Tennessee Division of Forestry measured the historic white oak for the first time in 10 years and declared it to still be the largest in the state at 267 inches around at breast height (4.5 feet above the ground), which is up from 258.2 inches in 2001. The tree is 97 feet tall with an average crown spread of 122 feet, an increase of 4 feet from 2001. According to Roark, to score the tree for this honor it gets 267 points for each inch of circumference, 97 points for each foot of height and 30 points for its crown spread ( 1/4 of average spread), for a total of 394 points. This is less than it scored in 2001 due to the slightly shorter height measurement, which could be because a branch broke. It is still the Champion White Oak in Tennessee. The present National Champion White Oak is located in Indiana with a score of 458 points. “We didn’t pay a lot of attention to the tree when we were kids,” said Lisa Gary, who coowns the property where the tree stands with her sisters, Paula Holman and Lori Rose. “We just knew this was a big tree. It kept us in the shade when we played ball under it.” The sisters say their greatgrandfather purchased the property in 1934 when he was moved from the Lost Creek area due to the impounding of Norris Lake. He passed it down to their grandparents, Troy and Rova Bridges, and it was later passed down to the three sisters. Roark also looked at the health of the tree and gave it a “fair” because of some large dead limbs on one side of the crown and what appeared to be some decay in the trunk. “It probably still has plenty of

Moncier: Goforth will appeal By Cindy Taylor With a 4-3 vote on all six counts brought against Goforth and after three hours of deliberation, the Union County school board voted to terminate suspended Director of Schools Wayne Goforth. Goforth’s attorney, Herb Moncier, then announced that Goforth would

life left in it, though,” said Roark. “White Oaks are one of our longer lived trees and can reach 300 years. My best guess based on the average growth rate of white oaks and this tree’s location is the tree is somewhere around 200 years old.” During the winter season some of the beauty of the aged Oak is diminished, but it is still The new city of Maynardville logo features the historic white oak. majestic in its stance.

invoke his right to a hearing by an impartial state official “in a heartbeat.” By a unanimous vote and on the recommendation of attorney Mary Ann Stackhouse, the board elected to keep Goforth on suspension with pay until after the hearing and authorized her to work with Moncier toward selecting an impartial judge. According to Stack-

house, continuing in this vein will be expensive for the school. Stackhouse informed the board that the hearing process could be lengthy. She said the board needs to meet at least one more time after that to review the recommendations of the hearing officer. The board brought six charges against Goforth as grounds for his termination, including failure to solicit bids for the gym floor at Horace Maynard Middle School or for the computers and phones at Paulette Elementary School, leaving bad debts on school lunch charges unpaid, allowing

Board members Danny Wayne Collins, David Coppock, Don Morgan and Billy Sexton voted that all charges were cause for termination. Voting against were Mark DeVault, Gerald Smith and Brian Oaks, with Oaks abstaining on the charge of misrepresenting the board in a letter. According to state law under the Department of Edu-

cation bad debts, including losses arising from uncollectable accounts, are not allowable. Due to this law, unpaid lunch charges cannot be absorbed by the school nutrition program but must be repaid to the program from other sources.

We have had customers run out in the middle of the night. And if they call and need us, we go, but we try and make sure that doesn’t happen.” According to Mitchell, the Bi-County Propane owner John Mitchell with employees propane industry is someAlmeda Lewis and Sam Goin.

Chiropractic is not just for back pain

Union County on the march

Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC For many people, when they hear the word ‘chiropractor,’ they think of a doctor who treats back pain. In one sense, they’d be right. Doctors of chiropractic do, in fact, treat back pain. But the fact is, chiropractors can offer relief for aches, pains and conditions that crop up all over the body. The neck and shoulders are two other prominent areas that chiropractors treat regularly. Chiropractic treatment has been shown effective in dealing with conditions as varied as carpal tunnel syndrome and migraine headaches. It’s considered helpful for pregnant women in preparing their bodies for a healthy delivery. In the broadest sense, when chiropractic treatment is effective in easing a chronic painful condition, it can even ease the mental anguish – depression for some – that had been caused by the pain. Studies have shown that a particular type of chiropractic adjustment can positively affect blood pressure. And chiropractors are not there just to treat you after you’ve hurt something. Regular visits to your chiropractor for a tune-up adjustment of the spine can prevent injuries before they happen. Additionally, chiropractors are trained in a holistic sense and can advise you in areas like diet, exercise and other aspects of your lifestyle. Finally, a chiropractor also knows when to refer you to another health care professional when it’s appropriate.

revealed that out of 15,500 dryer-related fires, the electric dryer was involved in 8,600 of them. These statistics suggest that the electric dryer is the more dangerous of the two when it comes to fires by more than half. “A lot of people are terrified of using gas,” said Mitchell. “But there are a lot fewer home fires from gas than from electricity.” The company services Union, Knox, Grainger, Anderson, Claiborne and Hancock counties and also fills 20-pound and larger portable cylinders during their hours of 8 a.m. 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

By Cindy Taylor The theme for the 2012 Chamber of Commerce Banquet reflected the goal of getting two Civil War Trail markers in Union County. Chamber president Julie Graham hoped to be able to place the markers with proceeds from the banquet auction, and that dream is near to being realized. Enough money was raised for the purchase of one marker, and Graham thinks that more funds will come in for the second marker. “We plan to place the first marker at the museum,” said Graham. “That marker could be what we call a gateway marker briefly describing actions and events throughout the county and covering such key people as Horace Maynard and Samuel Smith.” Walker’s Ford was also a

Volunteer Stars! Union County Mayor Mike Williams presented the Governor’s Volunteer Awards at the Union County Chamber of Commerce Banquet on Feb. 3.

Cindy Taylor

“Our state is known for its volunteer spirit,” said Williams. “Our governors have had the Volunteer Star Award for a few years now, but our region has always been known throughout the state for giving more than we receive. Our adult and youth recipients this year truly embody the volunteer quality.” Beth Bergeron was nominated due her coordination of the first Union County Farmers Market, the hundreds of hours she contributed to making the market a success and the time she invested in this and many other events in Union County. According to Williams, she allowed no grass to grow under her feet. “She displays and promotes volunteerism in the best way,” said Williams. Sarah Morgan was the recipient of the Youth Volunteer Star Award in Union County with a long list of achievements for one so young. The 17-year-old has entertained at community events for many years with her beautiful voice accompanied by the dulcimer she can make sing as well. “Sarah sees a need, takes action and gets results,” said Williams. “She is also a phenomenal musician.”

Morgan worked with the 4-H setting up donation boxes throughout the county when a family was in need, serves as a leader in the Smoky Mountain 4-H and has led Union County in public speaking contests. She volunteers her musical abilities to local centers, serves on the board of directors for the Knoxville Dulcimer Club, instructs on the dulcimer and leads a girls Bible study in Union County. The Governor’s Volunteer Stars Awards is an initiative from Volunteer Tennessee that recognizes outstanding volunteers from each of Tennessee’s 95 counties. With the program now in its fourth year, participating counties conducted a call for nominations and named one outstanding youth and one outstanding adult volunteer. Those named 2011 Governor’s Volunteer Stars will gather in Franklin on Feb. 27 to be honored and celebrate volunteerism in Tennessee. ■

Public speaking practice

Union County 4-H students who won blue ribbons for public speaking at the county competition in January were invited to the UT Extension office Feb. 1 for a practice run in preparation for the next level. Three students have decided to compete in the 4-H Public Speaking SubRegionals, and two competed in regional. Thirteen-year-old Bethany Long spoke about how 4-H develops character. Ten-year-old Emily Hocutt spoke about her experience with a snapping turtle, and 9-year-old Katherine Ma-

Board terminates Goforth From page A-1 that the children must be fed. This is a policy Union County chose guaranteeing that they would pay the debt in the same school year if the child couldn’t pay. According to Ensley, paying this money back into the nutrition budget on time has been a consistent problem for the school system. The board did decide that there were no grounds for additional charges based on the outcome of the audit. Oaks then issued an apology to Jonathan Johnson whose company had been named in the audit as being a part of a questionable bid process during the construction of Paulette Elementary School. “I discovered a discrepancy in the audit by Rodefer Moss (accounting firm),” said Oaks. “They represented to us an amount of $168,000 in equipment costs at Paulette that was

not bid out, but they didn’t look into that very well.” According to Oaks, the school board approved the bid from Johnson in February 2011 and grouped with another county to achieve the low bid. According to school board policy, there was no need to go outside for more bids as long as they were granted the same price as the other county. In this instance, Union County piggy-backed onto Knox County to get the same equipment at the same price under the same contract with Johnson. “Basically, you had some items that were bid and some items that were bought off of another county’s contract,” said Johnson. “Rodefer Moss just didn’t take that into account.” The board members, including Don Morgan who has been a strong proponent for ousting Goforth, had no

Sixteen-year-old Martin Dickey has been a 4-H member and has participated in public speaking for six years. Dickey won first place for 9-12 grades at the county level and placed fifth at Regionals on Feb. 4 for 9th grade. Dickey is required to speak about 4-H and being a part of that group. Nathaniel Kadron also participated in Regionals at the 10th grade level and placed 12th.

farmers Anthony Bowman and Tony Stanley graduated from the University of Tennessee Master Beef Producer Course on Feb. 4 by completing 36 hours of instruction. “I really enjoyed the Master Beef Producer class,” said Bowman. “My favorite part of the class was Dr. Gary Bate’s presentation on forages and rotational grazing. Cutting down on hay costs is one of my goals, and utilizing rotational grazing will help me tremendously.” Class members were beef farmers from Union, Knox, Anderson, Blount, Grainger, Loudon and Sevier counties. Certified producers qualify for 50 percent cost share through the Tennessee Agriculture Enhancement Program on hay barns, qualified bulls, head gates, squeeze shoots and many more useful products for cattle producers.

Union County teacher who went far beyond teaching requirements to provide a memorable learning experience for her students. One year at Hickory Valley School, the school produced a “Tom Thumb” wedding with beautifully made costumes. Tom Thumb was a tiny hero of many English folk tales, so a Tom Thumb wedding is a mock wedding acted out by little children. It not only taught them a little about marriage, but it also helped them to perform in public. Both Gwen and her mother, Flora Hubbard, were excellent quilters, but Gwen’s eyesight has worsened, and Shirley McMurtrie she can no longer see well enough to piece quilts.

My next thought was maybe my daughter, Sheri Hensley, could help since she is good at visualizing how parts go together. She assembled the frames for me, and somehow I stretched a quilt on them. As it turned out, Gwen had sent Chester Hutchison to get the frames and bring them to me. When I described the assembled frames to Gwen, she said “Those are my mother’s curtain stretchers.” I had successfully stretched and pinned a quilt on curtain stretchers.

Grace Jones Moore Then there’s, as Zach Wamp called her, “Gracie.” Grace recently celebrated at her 103rd birthday party by dancing with friends. When she was almost 100 years old, I ran into her early that spring, and she told me she had finished her spring housecleaning and had climbed a ladder to wash the windows on the outside. However, this is my favorite Grace story. Some years ago on a Saturday morning my husband, Sam, drove me to the courthouse to do some research. He said he’d just go over and visit with Grace. Since I knew they both liked to talk, I reminded him that the courthouse closed at noon, and he was to pick me up at noon. Noon came, and my choices were to ask to be booked into the jail or go outside. It was summer time, and the porch at Ailor Mortuary seemed a good option. About 1 p.m., as I recall, here came Sam very apologetic, saying, “I just couldn’t get away!” Carry on, girls. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Gay St. in Knoxville. “The Lolly-Madonna War,” also known as “Lolly-Madonna XXX,” will be shown along with a Hal Roach short, “Southern Exposure” starring the now-forgotten comedian Charley Chase, the first in a new First Friday film series, “Treasures from the Vaults,” at the history center. This one is called “Cinema Down Yonder: Hollywood’s Perception of the South.” East Tennesseans who participated in the making of the movie have been asked to appear at the screening.

tionist and worked on several film productions shot in the area. “The film captured the way (Union County) looked at the time,” Reeves says. “Most people don’t even know this movie exists. It was a big occasion at the time. Both the (Knoxville daily papers) covered it.” Based on a novel by Sue Grafton, the film can best be described as a dark cross between “Deliverance” and the Hatfield and McCoy feud. It

stars several well-known actors, including Jeff Bridges, Rod Steiger, Randy Quaid and Robert Ryan. “To me, there’s a lot going on in the film. When you see it in a clear print on the big screen, you may see some things you’ve missed.” The movie is not available officially in the United States on video or DVD and hasn’t been publicly screened in years. It was shown on pay cable television in the 1980s and early 1990s. Its two ti-

tles derive from the fact that some theater owners did not initially book the film when released as “Lolly-Madonna XXX” (referring to the X symbol for kisses as written on a postcard, a key point to the plot) because they believed it was an adult movie. In early 2007, the ShopperNews did a series of stories on the making of the movie. Brenda Irick, who talked to us then, visited the movie set and saw Season Hubley (the Lolly-Madonna of the title) shooting a scene. Walter Seymour told us he helped haul equipment out to the set from the old Hyatt Regency downtown. He also served as a location scout for the crew in Union County. “I took them over to Fall Creek, which they dammed up and built a small lake to film some scenes,” Walter said. “I also took them to Beeler’s Store and drove them around that area.”

He also collected autographs from the cast. Walter’s wife, Doris, was hired as a secretary for MGM during production. Marion Brock, a real-life Greyhound bus driver, was hired to drive the bus that brings the Lolly-Madonna character “to town” at the beginning of the film. “They pay me a royalty check every time it plays,” Brock said. He was paid $185/ hour ($953/hour in 2010 dollars) while working for MGM. Reeves welcomes anyone who had any connection to the film to participate in the March 2 program. “And we want everybody to come out and enjoy it, especially Union County residents.” Admission is free. Parental discretion is advised for “The Lolly-Madonna War.” Info: Bradley Reeves, 2158856.

UNION COUNTY SHOPPER-NEWS â&#x20AC;˘ FEBRUARY 11, 2012 â&#x20AC;˘ 5

A caring collective Part lV â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Healing a heart By Cindy Taylor During the past three weeks we have been looking at iCARe in Union County and the vision the coalition has for assisting youth who are at risk. This week, we interviewed a young woman whose life has been changed by people from Union County who learned of her trials and chose to help. Imagine living in a home where the adults and an older sibling you loved and counted on to protect you became the adults and sibling who sexually molested you. Imagine having access to drugs and alcohol because the adults in your home were dealing and using. Now imagine, if you can, being a child of only 3 or 4 years old when your life was forever changed by these circumstances. Nicole Foster* was that child. A court decision separated her from her father and brother when she was still young, but not before a great deal of damage had been done. Life at home was still not ideal. When her mother remarried, drugs were brought into the home and Foster had free rein. You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it to meet and talk with her now,

but Foster had to begin a self-sufficient childhood at a very early age. Due to the stressful situation at home and easy access to drugs and alcohol, Foster began using marijuana at the age of 10. She started running away from home at age 12 when things became unbearable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The average age that kids start experimenting with drugs is usually around 10 to 12 years old,â&#x20AC;? said Foster. During her teen years, Foster lived on the street with a friend for almost two years. She lived under bridges and stole soap to take baths in a lake or creek. Her life revolved solely around using drugs and selling drugs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was rough. You get in such bad shape you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if you eat or even have clothes to wear,â&#x20AC;? said Foster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you care about is how to get your next fi x.â&#x20AC;? Foster and her friend eventually went back home to her mother, but the situation hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed much. Still addicted and needing a way to support her habit, Foster began selling drugs. She sold for only four dealers, but she said that there were about 20 who wanted her. This brought her an

average income of $4,000 to $6,000 a week and her dealers $8,000 to $9,000 a week. This was during a period when Foster lived in Union County. These figures make it easier to understand why dealers get very upset if someone steps on their toes by helping a user break the habit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had one really good week when I made $12,000,â&#x20AC;? said Foster. According to Foster, this was while she was still dealing in Union County. It was during this time in her life that she began using what she called hard drugs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried everything,â&#x20AC;? said Foster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never really cared for alcohol but I used meth, crack, cocaine, ice. Any drug you can think of, we did.â&#x20AC;? According to Foster, drugs were very easy to come by in Union County and everywhere else she lived. Foster says that most of the dealers she knew are still active in Union County today except for two she knows of who have since passed away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can get everything from amoxicillin to ice on the street,â&#x20AC;? said Foster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you have to do is ask somebody at a restaurant or a school, pretty much anywhere. I would guess that 75 percent of the people you meet in Union County can put you in touch with drugs or someone who can get drugs for you.â&#x20AC;? This may seem like a staggering percentage to

most, and it is a hard one to prove, but just ask a few of the people who work in the schools, with iCARe or as counselors for a healing cooperative such as Life Hurts, God Heals. They will tell you the percentage is very high. Foster spent years in and out of school. She would get suspended, go back, get suspended again and then just not go back. Early last year, Foster had to move in with her sister in order to attend school. Both were users and began using drugs together. Foster got in trouble again for fighting and was sent to mandatory rehab in Chattanooga last April. According to Foster, rehab is nowhere anyone would want to be. She was just going along with the program with no intention of changing when she received a life-changing phone call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a call that my best friend I had lived with on the street had overdosed,â&#x20AC;? said Foster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went a little crazy, destroyed some stuff and got my time extended. I finally decided I had to be done and put my whole heart into recovery.â&#x20AC;? Foster went through detox for two weeks, during which all she could do was lie in a bed with no clothes and only a sheet for cover while her body tried to adjust to life without drugs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put my worst enemy through detox,â&#x20AC;? said Foster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the hardest thing I have

tiful young woman with a sparkle in her eyes and a heart for others. She has been drug and alcohol free for six months and says she has no intention of ever letting her former lifestyle get a foothold on her again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still wonder how and why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here,â&#x20AC;? said Foster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God gave me another chance and a reason to live so I can help people who are in the same situation I was.â&#x20AC;? Life Hurts, God Heals meets at Revival Vision Church at 7 p.m. every Tuesday. Schmid offered to take phone calls from anyone who needs his help at 387-3808. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who needs help is welcome to come,â&#x20AC;? said Schmid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no one who will judge them and they will be loved just as they are. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not here to get kids in trouble weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to get kids out of trouble. Teenagers in Union County have three things to do: sex, drugs and alcohol.â&#x20AC;? ICARe Union County meets on the fourth Thursday of every month at 11:30 p.m. in the Revival Vision Church Multi-Purpose Facility at 145 Durham Drive in Maynardville. The public is welcome to attend. Next week we will examine the work iCARe has done so far, their agenda for the future and how parents and students can get involved.

ever been through.â&#x20AC;? Foster first came into contact with Greg Schmid late last year. She began attending Life Hurts, God Heals and passing out information after that meeting. Schmid sees speaking out against drugs in a public venue as a very likely part of Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first got her (Foster) in my program, I was told by the principal and people in the school she had attended that when she left school, a lot of the drug problem went with her,â&#x20AC;? said Schmid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back, everyone is amazed at the change in her. If these kids have a support system, they can change. I am so proud of her and just stand in awe of what God has done in her life.â&#x20AC;? Foster is now a senior in high school and lives with people who are fully aware of her battles and who support her wholeheartedly as she continues to recover. She still suffers from physical problems due to the past drug abuse. According to Foster, even though it is widely known that she has turned away from drugs, she still gets requests from students for help in finding them. She also gets offers from students who want to sell drugs to her. Today, thanks to her own determination and the people of iCARe and Life Hurts, God Heals who loved her enough to see her potential, Foster has become a beau-

Three different lucets and cording used to start the braid. Two of the lucets are made from wood and the one closest to the front is made from horn.

Setting the cord on the lucet to begin weaving.

A tisket, a tasket, a lucet By Cindy Taylor According to some, a tisket is a small textile or woven material or a game. Others say tisket is a word made up by Ella Fitzgerald in order to rhyme a poem that later became a song. Either way, most people are familiar with the nursery rhyme from which the name comes, but the word is not a part of our language today. A lucet, however, does still exist but is also a word many may not be familiar with. It is a tool used in cord making or braiding which is believed to date back to the Viking and Medieval periods.

Health and Bible study class at Adult Day Services

DOWN-home UPdate What does one have to do with the other? Probably nothing, but the art of braiding with a lucet is one that could have been lost along with the meaning of tisket had it not been for groups like the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), an international organization

dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th century Europe. Angie Voss and her husband, Fritz, belong to this group and are dedicated to keeping older traditions, arts and skills alive in this century, skills which were at one time instrumental to survival and could one day be again. Angie has cross stitched for years but added cord making to her list of talents a few years ago. She now teaches the craft at the various festivals she and Fritz attend throughout the year. Fritz is a teacher

at Union County Academy and participates in the festivals as a metal worker and blacksmith. To Angie, using a lucet is easy, and anyone who is interested can learn. She began cord making when she spotted someone at a re-enactment using the lucet. It caught her interest and she learned the craft because carrying the tools around took up very little room, and the art was not something everyone was doing. Cordage could be used to hang scissors, tape measures and watches from the belt. The cords were also used for shoelaces and were often made from hemp or linen. Beads could also be added. It is believed the skill was

Angie Voss works cording with her double lucet. The double lucet is not believed to be historical in its design. Photos by C. Taylor taught to young girls during the Revolutionary War as a necessary craft along with embroidery and tapestry making. Using a lucet is the art of weaving without a loom, and Angie uses everything from regular thread

to embroidery floss to kite string for her designs. She makes cordage for fun, but also uses the cords for tying belts and has a goal to make a cord long enough for a clothesline, 6 to 8 feet in length, to use when she and Fritz travel to festivals.

Vols add value to NFL TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

he NFL just wasn’t the same without Peyton. Oh, we checked Colts scores but they didn’t really matter except in the context of first draft pick. Other former Vols kept us watching. There were 38 on September rosters. Seventeen made the playoffs. Jerod Mayo, Shaun Ellis (Patriots) and Deon Grant (Giants) helped entertain the Super Bowl multitude. It was a good year for several. Jason Allen (Texans) had four more interceptions. Two Colquitts

(Britton, Broncos; Dustin, Chiefs) punted well. Parys Haralson (49ers), Kevin Burnett and Marvin Mitchell (Dolphins), and Robert Ayres (Broncos) were contributors. Ramon Foster (Steelers) numbers have grown to 6-6, 325, $480,000. Donte Stallworth (Redskins) revitalized his career. Chad Clifton healed enough to resume work. Scott Wells made the Pro Bowl. Both work for the Packers. Jason Witten continued as a Dallas poster person but caught

grief for roaring past the sideline and taking out unsuspecting cheerleaders. Jabari Greer (Saints) was entertaining, even when I didn’t understand what he was saying. Another Saint, Robert Meachem, caught 40 passes, six for touchdowns. John Henderson (Raiders) was gimpy at the finish. I may eventually find something good to say about Albert Haynesworth (Bucs maybe). Denarius Moore (Raiders) led the younger generation. Luke Stocker (Bucs) made a decent first impression. Montario Hardesty (Browns) ran and caught but was limited by a leg injury. Dan Williams (Cardinals) had a bad elbow. Arian Foster (Texans) is a reason to have spotlights. What a story! From undrafted to league-leading rusher in 2010, fifth in 2011, focal point for Houston fans and foes, all-around capable, inside or pitch sweep, excellent receiver, many ad-

ditional yards after contact. This is the mark of a gladiator. Some things remembered from years ago: A high school coach said Arian wasn’t running back material and made him a linebacker. Randy Sanders found him while looking at somebody else. A great junior season and 14 touchdowns put Foster in line for NFL riches or the all-time Tennessee rushing record. His mom wanted him to stay in school. He needed only 684 yards. He got 570. Somebody thought he didn’t match the Clawson system. All along, Foster was different. He never fit the jock profile. He seemed introspective, generally quiet, keen mind, creator of poems, essays, philosophy stuff. A media request for interview time caused considerable confusion. Arian said OK if questions and answers were in Pterodactyl, some made-up dinosaur language. It was kind of goofy silly but it fit

aloud. We could see only a few feet ahead before the lights were swallowed by the fog, but we kept moving. Finally, in a moment, like stepping through a door from one room to another, the fog ended, and the air was crisp and clear, and above, the sky was brilliant with stars.

The study, conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) as part of the National Survey on Drug Abuse and Health, shows that family members can play a big role in reducing kids' access to alcohol and preventing underage drinking. "People who begin drinking alcohol before the age of 15 are six times more likely than those who start at age 21 and older to develop alcohol problems, " SAMSHA administrator Pamela Hyde said.

SHOULD PARENTS LOCK UP THEIR LIQUOR?

Foster’s quirky image. It did not fit the mood or scene. Off to the side, a very serious Phillip Fulmer was talking about quarterback troubles. Indeed, the team needed leadership. Jobs and careers were at stake. “Veeeeek! Veeeeek! Veeeeek!” Foster shrieked. Pterodactyl? Journalists did not know whether to flee or weep. Arian acquired a reputation for untimely fumbles. Big turnover was in the 2007 Outback Bowl, fourth quarter, Vols pushing to break a tie. A Penn Stater grabbed the loose ball and ran 88 yards for a touchdown. Foster fumbles contributed to 2008 losses to UCLA and Auburn. Many positives were negated by negatives. Scouts erred. Arian missed wealth but got a free-agent job and emerged a winner. He is not a chronic fumbler. Strangely enough, he even makes sense.

Obviously it has been a year of firsts for the new Paulette Elementary School, and January brought Nicole Shoffner’s 3rd grade reading class to the stage for the presentation of “The Crowded House,” the school’s first play production. Parents and grandparents were invited to attend along with the entire school as student actors dressed in oldfashioned attire. Students also dressed as farm animals, including a goat, a donkey and chickens. Props such as a butter churn, wood working tools, a loom and homemade pie crust were included in the play. Morning and afternoon performances were given. All of the students were thrilled about being on stage for the first time. “I’m real excited because it’s my first actual play performance and I get to wear a costume,” said Ashlyn Walker. “I think it’s really cool because you get to perform in front of your friends and family,” said Raley Tolliver. The class thanked their families and Shoffner’s parents, Sue and Joe Hickle, for providing several props for the event. They also thanked the Maynardville Food City for Kalei Tharp, Kaitlyn Woodie, Katy Beth Effler and Andrea Goforth perform in the production of “The Crowded House” at Paulette providing support for their first play.
