Moving in, moving on Teachers make the move to Paulette

By Cindy Taylor More than 40 years in the making but it is finally here: a new school in the Paulette community of Union County. Most of the contractors have driven away, and staff, educators and volunteers spent the last week of May moving in, out and over between Maynardville Elementary and Paulette.

Some were leaving Maynardville and looking forward to the excitement of an entirely new school. Others were moving down the hall or from portables to indoor classrooms at Maynardville. Regardless of where the teachers were moving to or from, there was anticipation, and some amount of stress, in the air at both schools.

Brenda Lay and Jack Effler grew up in Union County and were students at the first Paulette school that burned in the 1960s.

“It was a three-room school with eight grades when we were there,” said Effler. “Each teacher taught three grades, and I was there for four years.

Lunch was 20 cents, and there were

bi-fold doors between the grades.”

“I went for seven years, and there were 10 in our class,” said Lay. “Me and nine boys. I walked to school. I always wanted to ride the bus, but we lived so close they wouldn’t let us.

This new building is gorgeous, and I am thoroughly impressed.”

“I can remember when the bus was a panel truck,” said Effler. “It held about 10-12 kids. We only had about 80 kids in the whole school.”

Effler has three grandchildren who will be attending Paulette: Parker, Preslie and Matthew Effler.

Union County school board chair Brian Oaks, County Commissioner R.L. Jones and Paulette principal Jason Bailey were busing supplies, teachers and volunteers between Maynardville and Paulette all week and helping to pack and unpack.

Oaks loves to host walk-throughs

of the new school and brag on the amenities.

“The original school (mascot) was the Paulette Panther, too,” said Oaks.

“There are still some people around who have memorabilia from the first school, and we hope to have a case to hold those items.”

“I plan to spend most of the summer here,” said Bailey. “There are still loose ends to tie up from the punch list, and there is still a lot to do before school starts.”

“I was just passing by and got drafted,” said Jones. It was easy to tell he was actually enjoying every minute.

“I hope some of the older people in the community will come and see this school,” said Effler. “We were promised a school here years ago. This area is the gateway to Union County, and we needed a school on this end. There was money at one time to buy property, but it went to fence the existing schools. We thought we’d never get a school here.”

The Paulette Panthers will roar once again when school opens for the 2011-2012 school year. A ribbon cutting is planned for 10 a.m. Saturday, July 30.

Work stopped on Highway 33 Bridge ton Bridge, the contractor for the Henley Bridge, stopped pending safety investigations.

“It is very preliminary to look to what effect this could have on any Britton/Mountain State project, but at this time there are no plans to provide extensions to any of their projects. The project is progressing, and we are told it is supposed to be completed by June 30, 2012.”

However, according to Nagi, construction on all projects by Britton Bridge and Mountain States has been stopped while TDOT performs a safety review. Britton Bridge and Mountain States combined have

A call to Britton Bridge resulted in a redirection to DVL, a public relations firm out of Nashville that has been hired by Britton to answer any media questions.

Spokesperson John Van Mol said “It is unclear at this time how long the safety investigation may take. The company (Britton Bridge) is hopeful for a speedy resolution and an early return to work on this project.”

Chamber networking brings businesses together

Carpal tunnel may begin in the neck

By Cindy Taylor

Chiropractic Outlook

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC

C

arpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a painful condition that shows up in the wrist and hand, often in people whose work requires repetitive motion using the hands and wrist, like working at a keyboard all day. Chiropractors have had success treating CTS in a variety of ways, including manipulating the wrist and recommending physical therapy. But chiropractors are also looking at potential subluxations – misaligned vertebrae – as a cause of wrist pain.

The main nerve involved in CTS is the median nerve, which is formed from nerves that run through the vertebrae in the cervical spine, located in the neck. It’s called the median nerve because it runs through the middle of the arm and through a corridor of bones and ligaments called the carpal tunnel.

Things can go wrong in the carpal tunnel as a result of trauma or repetitive motion and pinch the nerve.

But chiropractors are finding in many cases that the wrist and hand pain is actually caused by misalignment of cervical vertebrae. If you suffer from the CTS symptoms, visit your chiropractor. If you have a true case, he can help you with a variety of therapies. But he may find the problem is in your neck, in which case he can also help.

The first-ever Union County Chamber of Commerce networking event was held in May, and the next one is close on its heels. The event was held at Union Hardware.

Attendees learned about other businesses and shared about their own.

John Cabage, owner of Union Hardware, spoke about his business, and attendees were given a tour of the store. Some of the items carried are RV/camper/mobile home parts, nails, nuts and bolts, and many other types of hardware. Cabage can also order appliances and has a greenhouse full of vegetable plants. “He carries a lot more stuff than even I knew about,� said Diane Allen. “It was a lot of fun, and we are looking forward to the next event and Nordstrom’s.�

In attendance for this event were John and Sue Cabage and their daughters, Abby and Hannah, and John’s mother, Mary Ann, who made all of the goodies.

Business of the week Hardee’s

By Cindy Taylor How would you like people knocking on your door before 5:30 a.m. wanting homemade biscuits?

That is exactly what happens to the employees at the Maynardville Hardee’s every day. Folks are standing outside, banging on the door every morning before the doors are unlocked, but manager Cody Davidson is fine with that. He’s also excited about the restaurant’s future. “We are getting ready to start renovations,� said Davidson. “This looks pretty much the same as when we took it over 12

or 13 years ago. We plan to make lots of changes by the end of June.�

One thing that won’t change is the “made from scratch� biscuits. Biscuit Chef Jenny Vancel is the primary biscuit maker.

Her husband, Bill, makes a special trip every morning just for Jenny’s biscuits. And he is not alone. “Breakfast is our biggest business,â€? said Davidson. “We have the hand-breaded chicken tenders now, and soon we will be hand-breading every piece of chicken, including the chicken sandwich. We have a caramel shake right now that’s one of the specialty items. We may lose some business because McDonald’s is cheaper, but the quality is here, and you get what you pay for.â€? “We know all the customers, and they know us,â€? said Davidson. “Our employees Premier biscuit maker Jenny Vancel, veteran employee Patty Humphrey and manager Cody and customers are more like family here.â€?

Trustee staff here to help

By Cindy Taylor There is an office on the first floor of the Union County Courthouse that most people visit only once a year when they pay property taxes. But, the Union County Trustee’s Office is so much more than that.

“We are the checkbook of the county,” said Trustee Gina Buckner. “We collect property taxes, but all county offices funnel their money through here. State, federal or local money, every dollar comes through this office.”

Regardless of the department, every check received or written by the county will eventually pass through the Trustee’s office. Even auditors that check on the county will visit the Trustee’s office first.

The office makes daily deposits and must balance to the penny every day.

They reconcile online, and residents can also pay their property taxes through the county website at www. unioncountytn.com.

Buckner was first elected to the office nine years ago when James Phillips retired from the position. Lori Beel-

“When I took the office everything was done by hand on a huge cash journal,” said Buckner. “James Phillips was such a help to

Pickin’ and grinnin’ For six friends, hanging out and jamming at a local barbershop a couple of years ago started out as a fun way to pass the time.

On Friday, June 10, those same six friends will be celebrating the release of their first CD with a concert at Ann’s Kitchen.

Since forming their band, The Pleasant Valley Boys have given countless hours for practice and have done more than 50 shows; and it has finally paid off.

The group has played at local festivals, including the Union County Heritage Festival and Old Timer’s Day in

Manchester is a small town similar to Maynardville. On the surface it appears to be a quiet little country town.

However,underneath there is a sinister darkness overtaking the lives of people in the community. The movie documents these problems and then shows the path that area churches took to rid the town of corruption at every government level and in turn all but stopping the drug problems in this small Kentucky community.

Doug Abner, a pastor in Manchester, was asked what did you do to get rid of this problem?

He said

“We let God take control” The churches in the area began praying together. There were pastors there from every denomination. Abner said “There were Methodist holding the hands of Baptist and Baptist holding the hands of a Church of God member.”

The local pastors would meet and have prayer for the county.

They asked God to expose corrupt officials and to help remove drug dealers from the community.

Despite threats from unhappy officials and drug dealers the Christian community carried on and eventually had a march through the center of Manchester of approximately 5,000 people.

The crowd was made up of area churches and people who’s lives had been effected by drug use.

Summer Reading at Sharps Chapel

Sisters Macey and Madison Hall were two of the first kids to show up at the Sharps Chapel Book Station to begin earning their points for Summer Reading.

“I like princess books and Goosebumps,” said 8-yearold Madison. Her sister, 4-year-old Macey, will earn her points by listening to books that are read to her, and Madison will earn additional points by reading to Macey. The girls had each already earned a free fountain drink from the Sharps Chapel General Store by reading eight books.

The store supplies the drinks for the readers at no charge to the station. Owners Steve and Doug Thompson are happy to help promote summer reading.

“I have already redeemed some certificates,” said store employee Sheila Collins. “The drinks are totally free to the kids.”

“One book equals one point,” said Book Station attendant Sherry Medina. “The kids can sign up any time during the summer. I really want to encourage kids to come and join us. Last year, it rained all day during our summer end party, but the kids had so much fun.”

There will be a pizza party Saturday, July 30, beginning at 11 a.m. for those who have read at least eight books during the summer. Summer hours are 1- 5 p.m.

Monday, Tuesday, Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday and Saturday Readers can check out 10 books at a time for three weeks. Internet access is also available free of charge during station hours.

Now is the opportunity for Union Countians to take a stand and make a difference!

All area pastors and anyone who is affected by this life threatening problem are strongly encouraged to attend and be part of a change to take back our community from the Satanic influence. It is time to decide which side we are on.

UNION COUNTY SHOPPER-NEWS • JUNE 4, 2011 • A-5 that was not-so-loosely based on Crockett’s exploits, be they real or imagined. The myth and the man met the night Crockett himself saw the play, when the actor playing Nimrod and Crockett took turns bowing to one another to the audience’s delight.

“The national mythologizing of Crockett had already started during his lifetime.”

Crockett would write a bestselling autobiography. It and the Crockett almanacs popular at the time would go on to influence the humor of Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln and Will Rogers.

“The final scenes of his life took place at The Alamo,” Wallis says, “but the curtain calls have never ceased for the historical Crockett.”

Foes and fans alike argue to this day over how and when Crockett died. He was in Texas only a few weeks, but that part of his life dominates many movies and books based on his life.

“There was the David Crockett of historical fact. The other is an American myth.”

‘The Lion of the West’ New book seeks the real Davy Crockett

A

s long as he lives, Michael Wallis will never forget the evening of Dec. 15, 1954. He was 9 years old.

That was the night ABC-TV aired “Davy Crockett: Indian Fighter” on what was then called the “Disneyland” TV series.

“I could have predicted the show’s success,” Wallis told a crowd at the East Tennessee History Center last week. “I was hooked in two minutes when I heard the theme song ‘When You Wish upon a Star.’ Then Walt unleashed this frontier character in the form of a lanky Texan named Fess Parker.

“I got whiplash.”

Wallis says that Fess’ Davy sent his fickle 9-year-old heart a-flutterin’. He’d met William “Hopalong Cassidy” Boyd and Duncan “Cisco Kid” Renaldo.

Forget it. They were relegated to the lower rungs of preadolescent hero worship.

“Even Stan ‘The Man’ Musial, who was etched in granite at the top of my heroes list, was threatened to be toppled.”

Wallis forgot all about staying up to watch “Strike It Rich” and “I’ve Got a Secret.” He even forgot about the snow that was forecast for the following day.

Instead, he went back to his bedroom and pored over the Davy Crockett entry in the World Book Encyclopedia.

The scene was playing itself out in households across America.

Some 40 million viewers tuned in that Wednesday night. By the time the final episode aired a few weeks later, the U.S. was caught up in a true Crockett craze.

Author Michael Wallis talks about his new book, “David Crockett: The Lion of the West,” at the East Tennessee History Center last week. In addition to writing best-selling books about the West, Route 66 and Pretty Boy Floyd, Wallis is also a voice actor who appears as the sheriff in “Cars” and “Cars 2.” Photo by Jake Mabe Crockett would sell $100 million in merchandise (some $8 billion in today’s dollars), everything from pajamas to lunchboxes to the coonskin cap that was ubiquitous in 1955. “The Ballad of Davy Crockett” was No. 1 on the Hit Parade for 13 weeks.

“And I knew,” Wallis said with a smile, “that every single word of the song was the gospel truth.”

Of course, it wasn’t. Wallis says all the recognition was a good thing, but that the misinformation that surfaced and stayed in the national consciousness about Crockett was one of the reasons he decided to write a biography, “David Crockett: The Lion of the West.”

A-6 • JUNE 4, 2011 • UNION COUNTY SHOPPER-NEWS UK didn’t want him and he fell to UT by default, there was some effort to make Orb appear dumb.

Wrong.

Orb Bowling came to Tennessee as a genuine backwoods boy. He said he walked a mile or more each day just to catch a ride to school.

He said he lived so far back in the hills that the Grand Ole Opry didn’t arrive until Tuesday.

He could be funny without trying but Vanderbilt never laughed.

Orb scored 31 against the Commodores in a stirring 1962 upset.

It was a very important victory for the Vols. They got only four that season.

Bowling won no basketball honors but he got a college education.

He was smart enough to save most of that Kentucky money. He married well and became an investment banker with Union Planters.

He helped sell the bonds that built Rupp Arena. He is a legitimate Memphis millionaire.

Kindred says Bayne’s specialty was mayhem and that, on behalf of the Colonels, he dispensed bruises and breaks from Anaheim to Teaneck. Howard was enthusiastic and determined, “but he had several faults, chief among them being he couldn’t play pro basketball.”

Guard Louis Dampier supported that claim with “the funniest thing I ever saw.”

Bayne grabbed a rebound and took off dribbling toward the other end of the floor. With each dribble, the ball came up higher. And higher. At the free-throw line, the ball was bouncing above his head.

“And the last dribble was off his toe,” Dampier said.

Alas, Bayne had only a one-year contract.

The Kentuckians were laughing at two of my favorites. Howard was a gladiator, Tennessee’s chairman of the boards, a fierce rebounder who tried to fit into the Ray Mears system but probably had a better chance playing in the NFL than the NBA. That would have been it for the book – if I hadn’t found the chapter about UK’s fabulous five. Ralph Beard, Alex Groza, Kenny Rollins, Wah-Wah Jones and Cliff Barker may have been the best lineup of the awesome Adolph Rupp era. The Wildcats went 128-9 in Beard’s years.

It was fun reading until I got to the part about point-shaving.

This was mostly a New York story.

Rupp said gamblers couldn’t touch his boys with a 10-foot pole. The crooks had a longer reach.

In the 1951 scandal, Beard, Groza and Dale Barnstable were arrested for taking money from gamblers to make final scores fit under betting lines. Beard, maybe the best guard ever at Kentucky, admitted he took $1,300 for influencing five games.

The three pleaded guilty. New York judge Saul S. Streit spared them a prison sentence in favor of cooperation but banned them forever from basketball. Beard and Groza had been playing for the Indianapolis Olympians. Both were all-NBA. Both were majority stockholders in the team.

Judge Streit poured blame all over Rupp, saying he aided and abetted, that he utterly failed to build character or instill morals, that he engaged in illegal recruiting and permitted cheating on exams.

Rupp admitted some sins during NCAA and SEC investigations.

He gave players money now and then. Yes, he knew that they got new suits from Lexington businesses. Beard got free chewing gum from a drug store.

The SEC inflicted what was thought to be severe punishment: UK would have no basketball team in 1952-53.

And we think we got troubles.

Most of us will have no idea where we are going most of the time. And I know that is unsettling. But circumstantial uncertainty also goes by another name: Adventure.

I wonder if the disciples – or the 3,000 souls who were added to the church on Pentecost – would have described what hapCROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton pened on that day as the arrival of a dove?

I think not.

n this modern age, Shopper columns rarely arrive in the mail.

This one came as a gift from a mostly big blue fan and reader in a border state. The care package included a coaching tip: See Volunteer comedy on pages 162 and 163.

What I have is a Dave Kindred book, “Basketball, the Dream Game in Kentucky,” published in 1976. It looks new. It could have been lost in a closet.

Surrounding the mention of ex-Vols Orb Bowling and Howard Bayne was the new-born American Basketball Association and, more specifically, the Kentucky Colonels, a franchise purchased for a mere $64,900 by Mamie Spears Reynolds Chinetti Gregory, an heiress with even more millions than marriages.

Kindred describes Orb, an original Colonel, a 6-10 UT graduate

from Sandy Hook, Ky., as “slower than a tree.”

Orby Lee played 11 games and averaged 1.9 points per outing. A change of coaches led to an executive decision that he wouldn’t be playing any more. Kindred says that did not bother Bowling too much.

“I got this here no-cut critter so I reckon I’ll just hang around.”

No-cut critter translates into English as a contract which said the team would pay whether he played or watched, two years guaranteed at $13,000 each, plus a $750 signing bonus.

The new coach left him behind when the team traveled. Orb was to continue conditioning, running daily in an empty arena. At home he appeared in street clothes at the end of the bench.

Because he came from the country, at the end of a dirt road, and

“I want to challenge you to go forth and make a difference,” said Goforth. “Regardless of the path you

take, make it worthwhile.

Anything is possible with hard work, and I know you can do great things.”

“I want to thank God for the privilege of teaching, and I am particularly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with this fine young man for nine years,” said Van Vuuren. “He is a gentleman and a scholar, and he knows how to work.”

Eighteen-year-old Felt attended the Academy from 2004 to 2011 and is undecided about his immediate future.

“My stepfather is trying to get me a job in construction, but I’m not sure I will like that,” said Felt. “I may want to continue my education. I like agriculture and mechanics.”

Felt is the son of Sara Cates and stepson of Randy Cates of Union County. His grandmother is Pauline Labruto of Florida.

Van Vuuren took Felt to Washington for his senior trip. Van Vuuren Academy is a private school established in 1999, located in Luttrell.

Shape Note Singings

Bowling retires after 35 years Big Ridge faculty and students bid a bittersweet farewell to beloved educator Terry Bowling, who recently retired after 35 years of teaching.

Bowling is a U.S. Army veteran, having served two tours in Vietnam. After being discharged from the Army, Bowling used the GI Bill to attend college, becoming the first in his family to earn a college degree.

He earned his undergraduate degree in education Terry Bowling from UT and a master’s dehis career teaching at Big gree from Tusculum.

Bowling spent all of Ridge Elementary School,

where he is well respected by peers and students for his outstanding teaching ability, especially in mathematics.

“His passion for teaching is evident in the tireless dedication he has shown to his students throughout the years. His positive attitude, sense of humor and ‘can do’ attitude inspired students to believe in themselves and their ability to grasp new concepts,” says fellow teacher Angie Raley.

Bowling spent almost 30 years coaching basketball

teams while at Big Ridge and is also credited with starting the Safety Patrol program and annual Field Day. After years of dedicated work, Bowling looks forward to golfing, camping and spending time with his wife, Jeanie (also a teacher at Big Ridge), and his family. Bowling has three children and three grandchildren.

Former students may send favorite memories, anecdotes or well wishes to: 119 Walkers Farm Road, Maynardville, TN 37807.

Simple gifts

mom in question. She might even retaliate when you start your own brood. St. Bernard puppies, anyone?

That, by the way, is the first on the list of bad gifts.

Live organisms of any kind are a big no-no in my book, unless they have been cleared in advance with the parents.

Now, I don’t mean asking the parents in front of the kid if they’d like a puppy. In fact, why not just wait until you hear the parents (particularly the mom) talking about getting a dog until you offer that particular gift.

No matter how innocuous the animal may be, remember that any critter needs care, and the parents will be ultimately responsible for that care. Even a gerbil

needs its cage cleaned.

Destructive toys are also best avoided. Some kids can make a deadly missile out of a rag doll, but it’s best to stay away from toys meant for mayhem.

My older sister likes to tease me about this stuff. She tweeted me from Toys R Us while shopping for Daniel’s birthday present, saying she’d taken a liking to a toy Thor hammer, complete with light effects and crashing thunder when you bonked something with it.

Classic example of a toy destined to smash lamps, picture frames and jars of pickles. For the double-whammy, it’s a noisy toy, too. Luckily, my sis settled on Woody from “Toy Story” as her gift.

Depending on the age of the child, sugary candy and anything motorized could also land you on a parent’s fecal roster.

To be fair, Daniel has received so many awesome gifts. They far outweigh the ones that made me grind my teeth.

The absolute best so far was a Knoxville Zoo membership.

For a year, I got to take him to the zoo whenever he wanted for free. Absolutely, totally cool, and we had a great time.

As a bonus, Daniel took long naps on zoo days!

I guess it’s too much to hope for that single aunts and uncles will read a column for moms.

But, if any of you singletons have been caught by surprise, I implore you to keep reading. There’s something you need to know about buying gifts for your nieces and nephews, something you’ll only hear from me.

Moms like to joke about noisy or messy gifts, like drum sets or finger paints.

But I’ve got to say that I don’t really mind gifts like that.

When you’ve got kids, you’re used to a certain noise level, and you’re prepared for messes. I know that one day

Daniel will create a mural in permanent marker in my powder blue painted hallway.

I accept that. Finger paints are OK because I know to keep them put away until I can keep an eye on him.

However, there are a few categories of gifts that you should avoid, or you’ll risk the permanent resentment of the
