Headrick challenges Fleischmann Dr. Mary Headrick of Union County recently announced that she will run for the 3rd Congressional District Democratic primary, to be held Aug. 2. Headrick graduated Mary Headrick from UT with a degree in math. After a year of teaching at Bearden Middle School in Knoxville, she became a computer analyst and systems programmer at Oak Ridge’s federal facility, where she served from 1972 to 1979. During that time, she earned a master’s degree in computer science. In 1983, she graduated from medical school at UT Memphis, later working in many East Tennessee emergency rooms and in Crossville Medical Group’s Ambulatory Care Clinic. “I intend to unseat (U.S. Rep.) Chuck Fleischmann, our current representative, who I feel has placed the interests of his party and the interests of moneyed special groups above the interests of his constituents, whom he swore to serve.” Info: www.marymheadrick forcongress.com.
IN THIS ISSUE End of an era The end. Well, almost. An era of historical significance is winding down. There never has been anything like the Pat Summitt story and it seems unlikely there ever will be. See Marvin’s story on page 5
Do it yourself! There is really something to be said for the instruction, “Do it yourself.” It’s the best way to learn, and it’s the best way to excel at whatever you do. This is the title of the cookbook Evelyn Monroe Johnson wrote for her family – her children and grandchildren. Evelyn was employed many years at the UT Registration Office, but, like many of the rest of us, learned that if you cook, “they” will come.

By Cindy Taylor According to artist and sculptor O.J. Bergeron, if children are discouraged around age 10 in their artistic abilities, they may remain put off of trying anything artistic for the remainder of their lives. That is what happened to Bergeron, but fortunately he recovered from the discouragement later in life and blossomed into a talented potter, sculptor and later yoga instructor. “I remember loving to draw, and I remember teachers telling me at about that age that I should view art a certain way,” said Bergeron. Bergeron was good in math and was encouraged in that direction, even tutoring students his own age. He worked in a corporate job that society led him to, but never that happily. After an early retirement, Bergeron decided to go back to school to discover himself and the artist inside, as well as the psychologist. What he found was an artist who could actually make a living selling his work. He was satisfied with his degree in psychology and what he had learned but chose to put his fine art degree into practice. “Pottery got me through the door and feeling good about my pursuit, but sculpting with wood, clay and metal was what I was drawn to,” said Bergeron. “Pottery was small change, and all you get out of a spinning wheel is a circle. So I focused on being creative and sculpting large items.” Bergeron moved to Union County where he and his wife, Beth, now live amongst his art in their retreat in the woods. He continued his pursuit of art at the UT and began sculpting life-size heavy pieces. His preference then was to make art, teach art and make money, which he did for a number of years. He taught a program he developed called “The Art of Seeing” as a working artist in schools and workshops. “I made this program to be nonthreatening, to open a door to a young person’s mind,” said Bergeron. When heart disease struck in 1993, resulting in open heart surgery, Bergeron was told heavy lifting was out. This meant giving up on a wood-fired kiln and large sculptures. But instead of

giving up his art, Bergeron simply took it in a new direction. “I had practiced and studied yoga since I was 15,” said Bergeron. “It was a natural transition.” Once he began yoga in high school Bergeron broke school records as a runner. According to Bergeron, yoga is mental as well as physical. “When your mind is connect-
A city that gives back The Luttrell City Council meeting in February saw a lot of information brought from community members and many decisions on how the city can help its residents and the county. The Luttrell Elementary School PTA is working to restore the concession stand at the ball field behind the elementary school. A power line that fed the concession stand was accidentally broken by someone working on the park, and when KUB was called to restore the power line, they condemned the power. The PTA is working to see the

concession stand renovated and made usable once again. Becky Muncey and Bridget Mathews approached the council with the problem. The council approved $800 to be given to the Luttrell Elementary PTA to help restore power to the stand. A request was made to the council by Union County High School band member Kayla Fee for assistance in purchasing band uniforms and instruments. The council agreed that having the band at the Luttrell Christmas Parade in 2011 To page A-3
ed to your body, the potential for optimal performance is there,” said Bergeron. Now more than 50 years later Bergeron looks to yoga for his artistic expression as well as for exercise. He teaches classes at Court South and at UT for the swim and diving teams. “I live life deliberately,” said Bergeron. “This is an old concept going back to Thoreau. Yoga is

using your mind by being aware. In the realm of art you are paying attention to what you are doing the same way as when you do yoga. You are being sculptural and combining feeling with the proper way to breathe.” Bergeron has one simple takeaway. “Whatever you do in life should be something that makes you happy. And I am happy.”

Business of the week American First Financial Services
By Cindy Taylor Interest rates are still near historic levels and the folks at American First Financial want to help you make the move Wilson Sharpe from renting to owning. American First owner
and CEO Melinda Wilson Sharpe started the company in 2003 after moving back to the area from Georgia. “If you’ve been renting for a long time, now may be a great time to consider the move to home ownership and locking in on these low rates for years to come,” said Sharpe. “If you want to buy but lack the money for a large down payment, you may want to think about
getting an FHA loan where you only need a down payment of 3.5 percent.” American First also offers 100 percent financing when the buyer and the property meet Rural Development/USDA guidelines. According to Sharpe, the best thing anyone can do is watch their credit scores. Loan products today are based mainly on credit scores focusing on the mid score of 620 plus. Sharpe offers five tips for improving your credit score. Get copies of your credit report and make sure the information is correct. Pay your bills on time. Understand how your credit score is determined. Learn the legal steps to take to improve your credit report and beware of creditrepair scams. American First is a mortgage broker licensed to do business in six states. The
company has grown from one branch to more than 15 in multiple states and employs more than 25 licensed mortgage loan originators partnering with more than 28 lenders to offer residential and commercial loan programs. American First is registered in the NMLS according to the S.A.F.E. Act regulations, is an equal housing lender, and member of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers and state affiliates. “We have purchase and refinance at competitive rates,” said Wilson. “Whether you are a first-time home buyer or a seasoned purchaser, we want to work for you to meet your mortgage needs.” American First Financial Services is located at 1709 Tazewell Pike in Plainview and can be reached by phone at 992-2070.

The legs you stand on Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC If you’ve gone to see a chiropractor because of a back problem, you might think it unusual that he or she pays so much attention to your legs. But remember, your feet and legs are the foundation that supports the rest of your body. Ideally, you were born with legs of the same length. But even if you were, tightened muscles can pull bones slightly out of line – in the legs and other parts of the body – and cause problems, including in the back. When your legs are of even slightly different length, whether because of a congenital or functional issue, it’s like constantly walking on uneven ground. The result is that everything above the legs, including the sacroiliac joints, which connect the pelvis to the spine, is slightly out of alignment. Muscles in misaligned areas will adjust to counter the imbalance and can pull bones out of line. Chiropractic treatment can ease the problem if it stems from tightened muscles, which is a functional problem. If a shortened leg is a congenital condition, the chiropractor may refer you to, or confer with, a podiatrist, a physician who specializes in the treatment of the lower leg and feet. They may be able to design an orthotic device, an insert that goes inside a shoe and can correct the imbalance. Talk with your chiropractor about the importance of your feet and legs and about ways to keep them functioning properly.

Committees were appointed and plans adopted for strategic planning, tourism, a standard operating procedure and next year’s Chamber banquet. Jenny Boggs was selected to fill a vacant seat on the Chamber board. Boggs rarely misses a board meeting, is employed by Abundant Health and Wellness, and represents the healthcare community. The Chamber banquet for this year was deemed a success by the board with more than $8,000 raised and around $2,000 in expenses. This will go toward the purchase of one Civil War Trail Marker for Union County and get close to the amount needed to
purchase a second marker. Guest speaker Anita Kardatske spoke on the benefits of attending National College of Business and Technology located in West Knoxville. National College is a nationally accredited career college whose credits can transfer. “We do market studies to identify the classes and programs we offer,” said Kardatske. “The majority of our students are already employed but need a degree to advance further in their field. We can help with that.” The college offers free tutoring to students as well as opportunity grants to those who qualify. Those seeking more information can call 888-956-2732 or go to

Do it yourself!
Evelyn Johnson is the author of “Do it Yourself,” a cookbook and a piece of Union County history.
TALES OF UNION COUNTY | Bonnie Peters There is really something to be said for the instruction, “Do it yourself.” It’s the best way to learn, and it’s the best way to excel at whatever you do. This is the title of the cookbook Evelyn Monroe Johnson wrote for her family – her children and grandchildren. Evelyn was employed many years at the UT Registration Office, but, like many of the rest of us, learned that if you cook, “they” will come. Eventually, I’m sure she got so many requests for recipes and how to do this or that, it was just easier to sit down and write them a book. Her daughter-in-law actually asked her to write down all her recipes in her own handwriting. On Evelyn’s 80th birthday Evelyn’s family, extended family, three UT bosses and 20 student workers who worked in her office many years ago all came to Townsend to celebrate the unveiling of “Do it Yourself.” Evelyn’s two sons are Tony and Danny. Tony is the pastor of Crossway Baptist Church in Murfreesboro and can be seen on Mondays at www.crosswaybaptist.com. Danny is affiliated with Hyatt Hotels at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando. Some years ago, Evelyn moved
from Union County to Murfreesboro to be near Tony and his family. While the book was written for Evelyn’s family, in many ways it is a history of Union County cooking. Evelyn grew up in Union County, the daughter of Walter and Vada Lynch Monroe – sister to L.D. She’s the granddaughter of Judge William Preston and Callie Edmondson Monroe as well as Charles H. and Della Nash Lynch. I know her recipes are drawn from both families’ traditions. Judge Monroe attended law school at Cumberland College in Lebanon, Tenn. Evelyn still has a shoe box of letters from him written in 1911. Judge Monroe’s vote helped get the Women’s Suffrage Act passed in Tennessee. He was a Circuit Court judge as well as a state senator; however, he died much too early of Lou Gehrig’s disease at age 53. Both Judge Monroe and Lou Gehrig were patients at the same time at the same hospital in Philadelphia. The two families became acquainted and Mrs. Monroe and Mrs. Gehrig corresponded for a while. During the Judge’s illness, Evelyn was about 8 or 9 and would sit with him and call her Mamaw Callie if he needed anything.
PlanET meetings upcoming PlanET will hold citizen input meetings at 7 p.m. Friday, March 2, at the Luttrell Community Center, and 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 6, at Adult Day Services. All are invited to attend and share thoughts and hopes for the future of the region. Light refreshments will be served.
Maynardville had a different setting at the time Evelyn was growing up. She says Grandpa Press and Mamaw Callie, who lived a few feet from the courthouse, had a garden, fruit trees, berries, a cow and chickens, and a barn across old Highway 33. She says her grandma cooked the freshest and best, but she never saw her have a cookbook. Evelyn recalls that her Mamaw Monroe would pin a list to her dress and send her to Walt Baker’s store. She would give her an egg to swap for candy, and he would charge the rest. One day, Evelyn went to the old kitchen cabinet drawer and helped herself to an egg and went to the store. She says she looked around and picked up an angel food cake. Walt asked her, “What do you want with your egg?” She said, “Dis this.” She says he never quit telling that story. Spoody’s Pecan Pie has an interesting lineage. Louvenia “Aunt Vene” Sharp Ousley gave the recipe to her daughter, Drama Ousley Beeler, who gave the recipe
to Jessie Lynch Booker, who gave the recipe to Spoody (Mona Lynch George), who gave the recipe to Evelyn. After some years as a Union County elementary school teacher, Evelyn’s mother, Vada, opened a restaurant across from the courthouse (her cousin Clifford Stiner’s buildings), called the Star Café. In no time, the restaurant was always packed. People drove from miles around to enjoy Vada’s cooking. The restaurant operated from 1952 to 1977. Some of Vada’s staff members at the Star Café were Lorene Sexton Simmons, Marie Wilmouth, Alice McCaleb and Johnnie Campbell. “Do it Yourself” includes many valuable details and suggested brands that make all the difference in a successful dish. One detail is that it takes 13 minutes to boil a “hard-boiled egg.” Evelyn says you must use fresh-squeezed lemon juice, not concentrated canned juice. Some favorite brands listed in the book are:

UNION COUNTY SHOPPER-NEWS • FEBRUARY 25, 2012 • 5 fuss and it is only women’s basketball. Well, Pat Summitt took it above fun ’n games when she went public with her affliction, early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type. She would, by the grace of God, refuse to surrender. That meant she would fight it with both hands and all her might. She would take her medicine and work her puzzles and do all the stimulating mental gymnastics doctors recommend. Pure Pat quote: “There’s not going to be any pity party.” Part of the war would be increasing awareness. When Pat speaks, people listen. Never has there been such a voice for this cause. Fans and foes joined hands. Her new foundation sprouted wings. “We back Pat” is more than a slogan. It is a genuine inspiration. I actually bought a T-shirt. The Patricia Sue Head story started almost 60 years ago in Clarksville. She was fourth among five children in the Richard and Hazel Head family. Daddy was tough enough. Mother was an angel. The Head boys liked baskets and the father put down a floor and put up a goal and lights in the large barn. That’s where Trish learned to play, against big brothers, push and shove or get out of the way. She was 5-9 in 3rd grade but
didn’t want to be so tall. Years later, Daddy appreciated her desire and talent enough to move the family from a brick home in Montgomery County to a cold, two-story frame house in Henrietta so she could attend Cheatham County High. It had a team. Trish was multitalented. She was in the 4-H Club. She showed cattle at the fair. She rode horses, barrel races, in Ashland City. She was voted “Most Popular” and “Basketball Sweetheart.” The gym where she played now bears her name. UT-Martin wasn’t her first choice for college. It was Richard’s. His perspective mattered. He was going to pay. Martin didn’t give scholarships to women way back then. She became an All-American. The Martin athletic director pushed her toward the World University Games. Because she would play defense and rebound, coach Billie Moore took her to Moscow. Back at Martin as a senior, Trish suffered a serious knee injury. The doctor said finished. She never believed it for a minute but admitted rehab was much harder than expected. She decided to take her restoration project to Tennessee – as a graduate student and assistant coach, $250 per month. She moved up before she arrived. The head coach re-
quested a leave of absence. Pat Head, 22, worked on her master’s, taught classes, coached baskets and put unbelievable effort into rebuilding the bum knee. She got well in time to become cocaptain of the 1976 Olympic team. We sat together in the Court of Flags in Montreal and talked for some time. She was wise beyond her years. Her rise to coaching immortality was not instant pudding. She first cut down national nets in her 13th season. In the years that followed, Pat and great players kept cutting. She became a mother and a millionaire and a legend. She wrote books and should have books written about her. The Vol Network produced a magnificent three-disc video of her success. My cameo appearance adds little but you really should own the set. The Pat collection? Naismith coach of the century. Architect of a perfect season. Winner of lots and lots of games and the same number of titles as Mike Krzyzewski, Bob Knight and Dean Smith combined. Without thinking, I assumed good times would go on forever, until she finally grew weary of winning. Alas and alas, it didn’t happen that way. Sad, isn’t it? Call it triumph and tragedy.
There are people who dislike Lent and its disciplines, but I am not one of them. Perhaps it is some native melancholy in me that leans into the thorns. I learned pretty young that life has valleys as well as mountaintops, and one had best be prepared to experience them both. I believe that the depths of life, as well as CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton the heights, expand our souls. So I love the somberness of the Ash Wednesday service. Have mercy on me, O God, I love that the ashes used According to your steadfast love; in the service are traditionally According to your abundant mercy from the burning of last Palm Blot out my transgressions.

I love that God loves us enough not to say, “Oh, that’s OK.” I love that God loves us enough to say “You break my heart, but I love you anyhow.” I love that God keeps trying. And so I keep trying too, to become the person that God envisioned when God thought me up. All of that is tangled up in Ash Wednesday for me. And so, by the time you read this, I will have been to church on Ash Wednesday. I will have knelt and confessed that I am a sinner, saved by grace. I will have received the mark of my sinfulness smudged onto my forehead, and I will have worn it all day as a reminder to myself, and as a confession to everyone who saw me. And if Hilaire Belloc is right at all, that “Death and life are one,” and that sunshine and shadow are inextricably linked, then I will know that it is only because the bright light of God’s love shines on me that the shadow on my forehead – the shadow of my sinfulness – is so visible.

End of an era TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West The end. Well, almost. An era of historical significance is winding down. There never has been anything like the Pat Summitt story and it seems unlikely there ever will be. She made the remarkable trip from genuine country girl on a dairy farm to the absolute top of the basketball world. Talent got her started. Work was a big factor. Fierce determination, the will to win, put her on the peak. Among the prizes were Olympic success as player and coach. Pat is famous for intensity and The Stare. And defense. And discipline. She is big on positive attitudes and the Golden Rule. Been there and done all that and won almost 1,100 games. There are no mountains to climb. She is in the relevant halls of fame. The Tennessee basketball floor is named in her honor. She has her
own street. Some day she will get a bronze statue. Pat has always said it was all about the players but she gets credit for doing more than any college coach and I do believe she did it the right way. She has overseen the harvest of eight national championships. Beyond the numbers, she has touched lives, changed lives and encouraged, even demanded, excellence from her Volunteers. She has charted a clear course. She has applauded as hundreds earned degrees and charged boldly ahead, willing and able to compete in the real world. In her spare time, Pat has been the best ambassador ever for the University of Tennessee. Andy Holt is runner-up. Peyton Manning may someday move into consideration. Oh, I know, I’m making a big

We’re coming up! By Cindy Taylor Hot on the heels of the Horace Maynard Middle School varsity girls basketball team’s award-winning season comes the school’s junior varsity girls basketball team. Coached by Nathan Wilson and Gerald Smith, this group is aspiring to carry on the legacy established this year by their forerunners. The team had a rough start with less than a week’s practice before their first game, which ended with a loss of 18-3 against Jacksboro. The second time the two teams met, it was for a Horace Maynard win 26-11. “There was no comparison between how the girls played the first game and how they finished the season,” said Wilson. “In the last seven games we never suffered a loss.” The team ended with an 8-2 season, and the girls have really banded together and

Union County High School Athlete of the Week Jerry Myers By Cindy Taylor Jerry Myers will go down in Union County High School history as the first freshman on the wrestling team to advance to the state wrestling Jerry Myers tournament.
Myers comes from a lineage of wrestling but has never been on a wrestling team prior to his freshman year. He wrestles as a lightweight and has had a phenomenal season. Coaches Jack Blosser and Chris Robbins are pleased with their team and excited that one of their own will advance to state. The team finished the season with a 5-2 record and won the Dual
Meet tournament recently held at Union County High School. “Jerry’s dad was a wrestler and talked Jerry into going out for wrestling,” said Blosser. “He is exactly what coaches look for in an athlete and a student. He is very gifted and well rounded. He is successful in the classroom, the arts and athletics.” Myers placed fourth in the Region 2 tournament in early February to advance to the state tournament in Nashville. Although he did not win at state, being the first freshman to make it that far is quite the honor.
and my sports career was over. I had to pay attention in class after that and went from a C student to honors. More education equals more opportunities.” Oaths were also administered to the vice president, secretary, Senate and House of Representatives. President Hunter Collins takes his election very seriously.
