It was a blustery fall morning that heralded the start of the Seventh Annual Heritage Festival October 1. Despite the weather, more than 4,000 folks came out to Wilson Park to eat, shop, learn or just listen to impressive local talent. From the Wilson Park pavilion, master of ceremonies James Perry began the day with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Scout Troop 404. Festival chair Marie Rhyne and Union County Mayor Mike Williams greeted the audience. Haley Brooks, winner of the 2011 Luttrell Bluegrass Festival singing contest, inspired listeners with her rendition of “Coal Miner’s Daughter” to open the show. Other scheduled performers included Pleasant Valley Boys, Southern Spirit, Paul Williams and the Victory Trio, The Original Betterway Quartet, The Boys from Blackfox, and Broken Spurs Dance Team. Festivities and demonstrations at the park included contests, a bounce house, crafters, artisans, blacksmithing, chair caning, basket weaving, and hot food and drink. The local Masons stirred and canned their homemade apple butter, and the authors tent featured Bonnie Peters and Sonny Mullins. The Farmers Market vendors were in attendance, and the antique tractor show kept it usual spot just outside the main entrance. An actual race car was on display, having been driven to the festival from Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet in North Carolina by Kevin Spiva, who was accompanied by his 4-year-old son, Noah. Kevin works as a manager in the service department and wanted to help with the Heritage Festival. The Dale Earnhardt race car was donated for display at no cost to the Heritage Festival and drew huge crowds. “This speaks highly of the type of people at the dealership and at the Dale Earnhardt Foundation who are interested in helping others,” said Williams. “I doubt we could have paid the price to have this car brought here.” Contest winners were: Pumpkin Seed Spit, Greg Digman, 27 feet 2 inches; 50-pound Feed Bag Throw, Dan Hurst, 21 feet 1 inch; Hay Bale High Toss, William Garren; Skillet Toss 26-40 age group, Amanda Hurst, 39 feet 7 inches; Skillet Toss 41-55 age group, Lisa DePetro, 49 feet 3 inches; Skillet Toss over 55 age group, Zan Thompson, 36 feet.

Business of the week Stowers Fireworks
By Cindy Taylor Whether you can spend 25 cents or hundreds of dollars, if fireworks are in your game plan then Stowers is the place for you. What began as a family business in 1948 on what is now the site of Cedar Ford Baptist Church has evolved through the years into one of the largest fireworks distributors in the area. The business changed hands a few times before Judy and Wendell Earl Stowers took it over in 1972. The building had no heat and air or restrooms when they first came on the scene, but those items have since been added, along with a great deal of square footage in three different additions. In spite of battling health issues, the Stowerses try to keep the doors open as often as possible during the offseason and keep regular hours in season. They keep a huge stock of

Chiropractic and low back pain Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC A highly regarded study, this one done by medical and health care professionals outside the chiropractic profession involving 834 workers’ compensation cases, has found that chiropractic was more effective in treating work-related lower back pain when compared with treatment by physicians and physical therapists. Findings from the study, which was titled “Health Maintenance Care in Work-Related Low Back Pain and Its Association with Disability Recurrence,” appeared in the April issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. For patients treated with chiropractic, the findings included: lower medical expenses, shorter periods of disability and fewer recurrences. By controlling for demographics and severity, they determined the hazard ratio (HR) for disability recurrence between three types of providers: Physical therapists 2.0, physicians 1.6 and chiropractors 1.0 Statistically, this means you are twice as likely to end up with a disability recurrence if you got your care from a physical therapist rather than from a chiropractor.

Morgan calls for Goforth’s termination Salaries cut in central office By Cindy Taylor In a startling opening to the Union County school board meeting Sept. 29, board chair Brian Oaks read the following statement: “(Director of Schools Wayne Goforth), at the Sept. 12 meeting of the Union County Board of Education, board member Don Morgan requested that you tender your resignation as Director of the Union County public school system,” said Oaks. “You are hereby given the notice required by law that the Union County Board of Education will meet on Oct. 19 at the high school auditorium to discuss your termination. This item will by law be the first item on the agenda for that meeting.” Goforth was stoic during the reading, but after the meeting he said that he would be there on Oct. 19 with his attorney. In reviewing the minutes of the Sept. 12 meeting, it was brought to the attention of both Morgan and Oaks that while Morgan had expressed his displeasure
Contact Humane Society for lost pets The Union County Humane Society asks that pet owners contact them immediately if a pet becomes lost. Pets without identification and rabies tags are only required to be held for 72 hours by Tennessee state law. The Humane Society makes every effort to place animals in “forever homes” as soon as possible. Timely contact will ensure that your lost pet is not adopted by new owners. Remember, identification and rabies tags are your pet’s protection. Info: 992-7969.

with Goforth’s leadership, he had not actually requested Goforth’s resignation during that meeting as Oaks had thought. Morgan and Oaks addressed that issue in statements given to the Shopper-News at a later date. “When I agreed to the entire statement, I did not hear the part about asking for Mr. Gosforth’s resignation in a previous meeting,” Morgan said. “I would like to set the public record straight on this statement. I have not at any time in a public forum or meeting representing the 1st District of Union County as a school board member asked Mr. Goforth for his resignation. In the meeting on Sept. 29, I simply wanted Chairman Oaks to open the Director of Union County Public School System’s contract for the discussion of termination in the Oct. 19 board meeting in order to give Mr. Goforth his proper 15-day notice as required by law.” “It was my understanding that during the Sept. 12 meeting when Don Morgan was addressing his discontent with Wayne Goforth that he requested that Go-

After the phone call ended, I called TSBA for guidance. They instructed me on how to proceed. I then met with Ronnie Mincey, the board secretary, to have him draft the statement that I read at the board meeting. When
the statement was ready, I reviewed it, as did Mr. Morgan, and he agreed the statement was correct. I specifically asked Mr. Morgan if the statement was correct and he said it was. “It has since been brought to my attention that Mr. Morgan did not mention Mr. Goforth’s resignation at the Sept. 12 meeting and after a review was made of a recording of the meeting, I found that Mr. Morgan did not make a statement about Mr. Goforth resigning. However, when Mr. Morgan read the statement I was to read
School board cuts central office salaries
After much deliberation the board finally settled on a balanced budget and did so without cutting classroom teachers or stopping buses for at least the majority of the school year. Instead, central office staff took a direct hit when the board voted to reduce all 12-month employees to 11-month employees. Oaks voted in favor of these salary reductions. His wife, Susan Oaks, is on staff at the central office. “We have been blessed,” said Oaks. “We’ll have to make adjustments, but we’ll be fine. The board had to make these cuts because it is important that we don’t impact the students by cutting teachers or buses.” Some of those affected by the central office salary cuts will be Jimmy Carter, Eddie Graham, Susan Oaks, San-

Other cuts that helped balance the budget include technology cost reductions, stopping buses after TCAPS in the spring, cutting travel and eliminating the assistant principal position at Horace Maynard Middle School. This position is currently vacant since former principal Josh Williams transferred to the Virtual Academy and the assistant principal stepped in as interim principal. Goforth also predicts an influx of funds from Tennessee Virtual Academy of around $50,000 to bring the budget cuts for the coming year to $771,862. Goforth and Coppock then took the proposal to Union County Commission. Commissioners postponed a vote until they had a written copy in hand. They chose to meet again the following evening for review of the proposal. At that meeting, a unanimous vote postponed a decision once again until the regularly scheduled commission meeting set for Oct. 10. This should give commissioners ample time to review all budget cuts proposed by the school board.

Librarians Chantay Collins and Gloria Fox expressed their thanks.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” said Collins. “We will be doing a matching grant through the state, and we are still in fundraising mode to increase the amount we can apply for. We have until the end of October and hope to raise several thousand dollars. The last computers we got were in 2003, and we will use this grant to replace those.” “I would like to thank Leadership for doing this for us,” said Fox. “Our computers are just so outdated. I will be combining this with another grant I have
received and will be writing a matching grant for this amount as well.” Leadership Union County is now recruiting for their 2012 class. ■
Protecting kids
Corryton Head Start parents met at the Luttrell Public Library on Sept. 28 to attend a class regarding child sexual abuse. A government grant requires that these classes be held each year to educate parents on preventing adolescent sexual abuse, a growing problem across the country.

into balancing books, too. There will be an accounting, and we will be “weighed on the scales and found wanting.” Standing before the Holy One will be the moment of truth. The good news, however, is that what we lack, Christ has supplied. What we have squandered, he has restored. What we have committed, Christ has taken the blame for. What we owe, he has paid. When we stand to give account for ourselves, Christ will be there to lay an arm across our shoulders and say to the Judge, “She’s alright. I died for her. She is one of mine.” And the scales will shift into balance, and everything will be healed and whole and at peace.

that I have to know where every penny has gone and exactly how many are left in the till. It is not necessarily that I like order (Exhibit A: my house!). There is, however, some small pleasure in knowing that it is right. I will confess: I do enjoy being right. I think that part of it is accountability. It is one of the ways I can study and analyze where my money goes. It tells me what is important to me. Who was the wise man who said, “Show me a man’s checkbook, and I will tell you what his priorities are”? I was pondering these things as I was wrapping up the balancing exercise recently.

The Mac Smith Resource Center at Narrow Ridge Photos submitted
Narrow Ridge: A different way TALES OF UNION COUNTY | Bonnie Peters
T
ucked away atop Hinds Ridge two miles across the Union County line in Grainger County is Narrow Ridge Earth Literacy Center, whose mission is to study, teach and demonstrate sustainability and to provide experiential learning of Earth literacy. There are 11 home sites now at Narrow Ridge as well as the five eco-constructed lodge/training facilities. They have made an effort to show various types of construction. There are three different types of the straw bale construction: post and beam, load bearing in which the bales support the roof,
and modified post and beam which is built with two-byfours on either side of the windows for extra support. The exterior can be stuccoed or sprayed with a polyurethane coating. The beauty of this is that construction of straw bale buildings can be done by a novice builder. At Narrow Ridge, all learners are teachers and all teachers are learners as well. They are willing to share their mistakes in whatever they attempt so that others don’t repeat those mistakes. Ninth grade students in both Grainger and Knox counties come for a training day each year.
Other counties are encouraged to participate. There is no charge to host students; nonetheless, donations are always welcome. There is a great library at Narrow Ridge open every day for researching alternative construction and Earth literacy. There are other reading opportunities, including some local history. The Narrow Ridge vision was begun in 1972 by founder Bill Nickle. However, it took many years for his vision to “take off.” In the 1990s Nickle met MacGregor Smith, and with his support Nickle made a fresh start with a new way of thinking called Earth
Inside the Mac Smith Resource Center at Narrow Ridge literacy. During the 1970s and 1980s Nickle worked at Wesley Woods in Townsend. A fellow park ranger named Mike Wilburn enabled the land holdings to grow from 40 acres to more than 500 acres of protected land. Cash donations from philanthropist Valeria Violate and community member investments enabled the building of five eco-constructed lodges and many other enhancements. Narrow Ridge offers many opportunities for students and city folk to reconnect with nature, to hold family and corporate retreats to rekindle the spirit of those attending. A sample of what Narrow Ridge has to offer is the annual Hogskin History Day, generally held the second
Saturday in September, featuring good food, good music, folk dancing, crafts, local history and much, much more. This past September, I attended the festival where I was able to purchase some wool – straight from a sheep. I have now successfully washed it and have begun the carding process. Who knows, I may even learn to spin! The spinner at the festival, Marsha Phipps, has offered to teach me. I also toured some of the facilities and was impressed with the solar panels, particularly because I was without electricity for seven days caused by one of the summer storms. I also enjoyed learning about the waterless, composting toilets. The “flush”
is one cup of peat moss. Had my family had one when I was growing up, I would have thought I’d died and gone to heaven. A composting toilet can be constructed for about $300 to $400; however, the commercial models sell for about $1,300 to $1,400. With the price of water these days, this is not too bad. While a conservation philosophy is practiced in all things concerning the Earth, rainwater collection systems are in place and rainwater is used for most needs except drinking water. I checked on the information provided in the most recent census about indoor plumbing in homes in Union County and found that about 93 percent of Union County homes do have indoor plumbing. For the other 7 percent, a waterless composting toilet sounds good to me. One of the highlights of this year’s festival was newlyweds Anne and Roy Rotenberry. Anne is 76, and Roy is 80. Married a few days before, they stopped by for a visit with Anne’s niece, Mitzi Von Misener, the Executive Director at Narrow Ridge, while on their honeymoon and on their way to Branson, Missouri. They participated in the folk dancing, then went on stage to sing “As Long As I Live.” They sang beautifully, and everyone loves a love story. This year’s festival was sponsored by WUOT and ET-PBS. For more information, to make reservations or to participate in next year’s Hogskin History Day or the annual Mushroom Walk: 497-2753, email community @narrowridge.org or visit www.narrowridge.org.

Monday through Friday mornings from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on 96.7 MERLE FM
More than 80 bikes and an additional 40 passengers pulled into the Union County Humane Society parking lot to kick off the Fifth Annual Ride Like an Animal Union County Humane Society Motorcycle Run Oct. 1. More than 120 riders made the 100-mile tour through Union, Grainger, and Claiborne counties. The ride ended at Beach Island
Marina, where the group enjoyed a wonderful buffet and participated in drawings for prizes. “This is such a great turnout,” said Rouse early in the day. “And we only just got started.” The Humane Society board thanked the following sponsors who helped make this year such a success: PetSafe, Buddy and Terry Warwick, Chuck and Julie Ashley, RJC Construc-
tion, Mayer Moulding, Dennis Hall Automotive, Bob and Ann Underwood, Jerry and Julie Guenther, Devoy and Tammy, Bearden Psychological and Wellness Center, Cooper Container, Dan and Judy Paidousis, the UPS Store, Borderland Tees, Bubba Brews and Green Mountain Coffee. More than $6,000 was raised to help support the Union County Humane Society.
