Union County mayor talks about what’s ahead By Libby Morgan Tourism can drive Union County’s economy if people work together to promote the county’s assets, says Mayor Mike Williams “Big Ridge State Park, Norris Lake, Chuck Swan, fishing, camping, watersports, hunting, hiking – there are counties that would love to have these attributes.” The key is promotion: “We can really make a name for ourselves with tourism, with all the things we have going for us, our natural resources and our heritage (music, Thunder Road): things that are nowhere else. “It’s all about promoting our county in a positive way. Our 4-H kids, with some input from TDOT, are working on a map that will be a tear-off sheet showing Union County’s best motorcycle rides. It’s not a big expense, and it will show people where to get gas, snacks and something to eat.” Recreation: Expect the county to build a splash pad at Wilson Park. Williams wants it up front and visible from Hwy. 33. He also wants more color in the park to enhance the “knock-out roses” already there. Expect to see daylilies and more dogwoods. Next year the county will expand on the Christmas lights and add a veterans’ wall.
33 Bridge is coming along with the new structure at right and the current bridge at left. Photos by Libby Morgan Williams wants to dress up Maynardville’s Main Street and decorate it for the holidays. Tourism: The county’ wine trail and farms will give people another reason to visit, he said. A small motel would enable the county to host sports and fishing tournaments and provide a place for visitors to stay longer. Business: Highway improvements recently announced for Luttrell will help the residents;
improvements underway on Hwy. 33 will create a direct, four-lane access to I-75 and Knoxville. Problems with piers have delayed construction of the new 33 Bridge, but work will move quickly now that new piers are in place. Williams is open to keeping the old bridge as a backup, but worries about liability and upkeep. To page 3
Mayor Mike Williams wants to “dress up” the entrances to the county, especially the corner going into Sharps Chapel. He envisions some split rail and stone with signage with a unified design.

Mike’s vision He wants better Internet service, but can’t force companies to install cables. Broadband will come with population growth, he says. Paulette is the best area for a new industrial park, taking advantage of the new road and the proximity to Knoxville. Sharps Chapel has more opportunity for development with its lakefront property and scenery. Farms there are going stronger than ever, and Union County Arts is a huge draw for visitors. County finances: The centralized finance office, headed by Ann Dyer, has brought the schools, highway and sheriff’s departments under a consistent purchasing and payroll program. “Every penny runs through our county finance office, with only five people on staff. We have reduced the number of county employees, upped the accuracy and saved a lot of money. A recent state audit had no findings – nothing was misplaced and all funds were properly recorded.� Youth: We’ve got great kids and we need to provide more for them to do. Chantay Collins (at the library)
From page 1 is a jewel, doing all the things she does with youth. The city of Maynardville is working toward a recreation center. “The only way for our county to get better in the long run is for our best young people to stay, or to come back out of college and live here.� Personal: Williams has regained his physical strength since heart surgery last year, and his spirit is healing after the loss of his mother last December. A diehard fan of late NASCAR star Dale Earn-
hardt, Williams drives his trademark “3� vehicles and surrounds himself with Earnhardt mementos in homage to the man who Williams says he admires because of his character off the racetrack. “I’m very appreciative that I was raised in a county like this. Everything good that ever happened in my life is a direct result of the people in this county having an influence on me. “I love it here. We need to be a little bit more aggressive, and good things will come.�

‘Wrote’ and ‘quote’ in study hall Either 18 or 20 credits (memory fails me here) were required for students to graduate from high school in Tennessee in 1983. The Horace Maynard High School schedule operated on a six-period day, meaning that a student who took and passed six classes each year would graduate with twenty-four credits.
Some students took six classes the first three years and only had to complete American history and English the senior year. Such motivated students could take those classes the first two periods and leave early to work jobs, while students otherwise motivated could take those classes later in the day and sleep in every morning.
Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME Personally, not having access to transportation to allow me either to come late or leave early (and not anticipating such during my high school career), I took the route most students chose: one period of study hall each year. The quality of study hall varied depending on the time of day, location and which “fortunate” teacher supervised.
I was assigned to large study halls with Peggy Cosby and Max Branum (cafeteria) and a small first-period study hall with Laura DeMarotta (her classroom). But by far the most memorable was a large fourth-period study hall during sophomore year with W. A. Hartsell in the auditorium. The auditorium was the worst possible location to study. There was heat in the early fall and late spring, air conditioning in the late fall and early winter, dim lighting and hard wooden seats. Needless to say, such an environment led students to create diversions for entertainment. There was an eighth
grade girl in this hall, and my friend Randy Gaut and I decided to have some fun at Chip Brown’s expense. We crafted a love letter to this girl (supposedly from Chip) in which Chip professed his fondness and interest in getting to know her better. I must say I put my all into this letter to get the best out of this practical joke on “The Chipster,” partially in return for him squirting me with ketchup years earlier during seventh grade lunch. The joke turned out to be on me. Little did I know that Gaut and Brown had prearranged this scenario, and that at the last minute Randy was to address the letter to this girl from “Yours truly, Ronnie Mincey.”
“Dallas” was the popular television show at the time, and J. R. Ewing himself never pulled a slicker oil deal. I had to squirm a little to get out of that one. In later years, another young lady became infatuated with “Casanova Chip” and wrote him a legitimately addressed letter. Chip shared this letter with Randy and me. Unfortunately, this girl was somewhat illiterate in use of proper English grammar, and her letter goes down in my memory as a most entertaining missive. She wrote, and I quote, “You are the first boy I never really loved.” Next week I will discuss study hall experiences of another friend.

Capron, 14th Illinois Cavalry, to Lieut. R. P. Finney, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General. Headquarters 14th Illinois Cavalry, in camp near Clinch River, Tenn., Dec. 4, 1863. Sir: I would respectfully report that on the morning of the second instant, (we were) ordered to move down the right bank of Clinch River to the forks of the road, five miles from Walker’s Ford. I moved my command, the 14th Illinois Cavalry, down the river two miles until I came to a ford and road leading to Maynardville, intersecting the main road from Maynardville to Walker’s Ford, in the rear of the enemy, at that time engaging the remainder of your brigade. Hesitating to proceed farther, I halted my regiment and awaited your orders, sending scouting parties on the Maynardville and river roads. I had hardly received
your orders to hold the Maynardville road and river crossing before our advance on the Maynardville road was attacked by the rebels two miles from the main body. My regiment was then posted at the river crossing. I immediately sent the Third Battalion to re-enforce the advance, which, after advancing one-half mile, engaged the enemy, our forces taking position in the center of the road running through a narrow gorge, the rebel cavalry advancing in column down the road and charging our center, but were repulsed. The rebels then moved a column on our right and charged our right and center, and were again repulsed at both points. They then deployed skirmishers on both our flanks on the hills and again charged our right. The remainder of my regiment having been placed in position, the Third Battalion was ordered to the rear
and re-form, which they did, the rebels advancing on our rear line, attacking the whole line with skirmishers. Two companies were sent to the hills to dislodge their sharpshooters, who were annoying our lines, and a rapid and heavy firing was continued through our whole lines. At 1 p.m., the Third Battalion, with howitzers, were withdrawn to the left bank of the river, the First and Second Battalions still fighting the rebels, but compelled to gradually fall back, overpowered by superior numbers and flanked by sharpshooters. The Third Battalion was immediately deployed on the left bank of the river, and the howitzer battery placed in position. At this moment our position became critical, as their sharpshooters occupied the heights in good range of our position, but were fortunately held in check by our howitzers until the fire of the rebels gradu-
ally slackened and our ammunition nearly exhausted, the main part of my regiment was withdrawn to your command at Walker’s Ford, leaving two companies with the small amount of ammunition necessary to hold the ford, which they did until relieved by a regiment of infantry. The whole command fought with coolness and bravery, and our loss must have been much greater had not the natural position of the ground been greatly advantageous to us – 24 officers and 300 men, with the following casualties: wounded, seven; missing, 11. The engagement commenced at 10 a.m., continuing until 3 p.m. From information obtained of prisoners, the force attacking us was General Jones’ cavalry division, consisting of two brigades. I would also report the capture of 18 prisoners on the second and third instant.

Bowl time can be beautiful National signing day, season opener, Florida and Alabama games and bowl time are the peaks of my football year. 1. Butch Jones and his people came up big enough in recruiting. 2. The Volunteers played well against Utah State. 3. They allowed Florida to get away with one and found a quarterback solution while losing to the Crimson Tide. 4. That made the Gator Bowl pivotal in whether this was, at last, an OK campaign or another net loss. Battling in big bowls
Marvin West
and competing for national championships is significant. The size of coaches’ bonuses provides a yardstick. The 25 or 30 other bowls are supposed to be fun for fans, rewards for players and fillers for TV time slots. Can you believe ESPN owns some of the bowls? Bottom line: It is better
to be in any bowl than home for the holidays. Yes, even Shreveport and the Yankee Stadium refrigerator. Marvelous bowl memories through the years. I missed the 1939 Orange Bowl but George Cafego told me about it. He clobbered an Oklahoma star on the opening play and set the tone for a knockdown and drag-out afternoon. There were 221 yards in penalties. Of course Tennessee won. I missed the 1940 Rose Bowl. So did Cafego. He had a bum knee. Knoxville’s Clarence Brown, prominent Hollywood movie director,
hosted the team in a lavish Christmas party. George said the ornaments (girls) were beautiful. New Year’s Day was less enjoyable. The Vols hadn’t permitted a point all season but Southern Cal scored 14. The 1951 Cotton Bowl, Tennessee 20, Texas 14, was a classic. Hank Lauricella made the unforgettable 75yard run. Hank described the pregame setting: “We were in the locker room and the Texas band was playing ‘The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You.’ “The General (Robert R. Neyland) was talking and
we had a hard time hearing. He spoke up a little louder, ‘When this game is over, they’ll be playing ‘The Tennessee Waltz.’” The 1971 Sugar Bowl was a personal treat. New Orleans went overboard with pregame flattery of Air Force brass and the undefeated Falcons. Tennessee was incidental in all festivities. Then came the kickoff. The Vols dominated the game. Bobby Scott riddled the defense. Don McLeary scored two touchdowns in the first nine minutes. The quarter score was 24-0 before Air Force realized there was a problem. Bill Battle, youngest coach in the country, was rewarded with a new five-
year contract. You know how that turned out. The 1981 Garden State Bowl in the semi-privacy of East Rutherford, N.J., was forgettable (well, Willie Gault did return a kickoff 87 yards). The 1986 return to New Orleans was a forever favorite. The underdog SugarVols stunned Miami, 35-7, in one of Tennessee’s all-time great performances. Vols sacked Hurricane quarterback Vinny Testeverde seven times for 84 yards in losses. They intercepted three passes. This was the Ken Donahue defense. Daryl Dickey emerged as MVP. There was unbridled jubilation on Bourbon Street. Ah yes, those were the days. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.
The chicken: A most important bird Years ago, when you went to Grandma’s house for Sunday dinner, you didn’t find a skillet full of chicken breasts or chicken thighs. You found a chicken, period. It was cut up into the usual pieces, of course, but only the pieces that came with that one chicken. And you saw pieces that you may not see that often anymore. I remember my Mom and Dad sharing carefullydivided halves of the heart, liver and gizzard, while my brother and I would pretend to cover our eyes and not even look at those delicacies. There was a certain pecking order, so to speak, that determined just who got which part. It definitely wasn’t random. The visiting preacher or other company always got first choice, which was usually a big piece of the white meat (and if not them, then Grandpa or big brother). Those lower on the totem pole had to wait on the better stuff till somehow they worked their way up, or else wait for the next church potluck for an opportunity to grab a choice piece (or two) from the bountiful table.
Dr. Bob Collier
That’s all changed now. We go to the store and buy only the pieces we want, almost never a whole chicken. One of the wonders of the chicken is how quickly they mature and how rapidly varieties can be bred for desirable characteristics: for meat, for eggs, for suitability to thrive in different climates, and so on. Meat chickens, for example, can be ready for market in only 6 or 7 weeks, and can be designed to make more white or dark meat to suit. A 2014 article in the journal “Science” concerning the search for the ancestral wild chicken quotes a biologist from Georgia Southern University as saying that the chicken is “the most important bird in the world.” They’ve been domesticated for thousands of years and are a major food source
for literally billions of people all around the globe. In the U.S. we’re producing something like 90 billion eggs per year, and some 40 billion pounds of chicken meat per year. That’s a lot of chicken! We export around 7 billion pounds, or about 18 percent of the total. And as for that whole chicken versus many parts thing: almost all chickens are sold as parts these days, rather than as whole birds; people are eating everything from Buffalo wings to chickenfoot soup, from breasts to thighs to nuggets. The October issue of “National Geographic” had an informative 2-page spread about the destination of all our chicken parts. It turns out that we Americans prefer blander food than other folks, and so we export very few breast quarters. But we sell hundreds of thousands if not millions of tons of other chicken parts overseas: wings and feet (yes, feet) to China, legs to Russia, feathers to Indonesia, and innards (to become pet food and fertilizer) to South Africa. Good eats here at home, moneymaking trade abroad.
Did you ever wonder where chickens originally came from? They weren’t always just here, scratching around in the side yard. It’s a complex story that the scientists haven’t fully nailed down as yet, but the broad brushstrokes are that our domestic chickens were derived from an original wild species called the red jungle fowl from Southeast Asia. Their range was from 5000 feet in the Himalayas down through Malaysia into Indonesia, and they are believed to have been domesticated somewhere between 4000 and 8000 years ago. Red jungle fowl look and act a lot like present-day fighting chickens. They are smallish, fast, wily and aggressive. They have reddish bodies, golden-red neck feathers, and shiny black tail feathers. There are few pureblooded red jungle fowl left in the world, due mainly to domestication and interbreeding by many civilizations over the centuries, and that has the biologists worried that the original species will soon be lost forever. Some attempts were made back in the 1960s to collect
Asian red jungle fowl and propagate them in the U.S. As a result, there are some purebred birds scattered around in aviaries and labs in this country, and some are still hiding out there in various places in the wild. In Vietnam, for example, it is illegal to trap them, but the practice continues, and the birds bring premium prices as fighting chickens. In the unlikely event that you’re suddenly seized with the desire to actually see a wild, free-range red jungle fowl not too far from here, let me tell you about Fitzgerald, Georgia. It seems that in the 1960s, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources released some 10,000 jungle fowl all over the state to be used as game birds, hunted like quail or pheasants. The project failed spectacularly, but there was one batch of birds released down along the Ocmulgee River that had more determination. They didn’t care for their riverside site, so they moved along west for a few miles to the inviting town of Fitzgerald, a peaceful place founded in 1895. There they took
up residence, with the eventual acceptance and support of most of the humans dwelling there. And today, there are several hundred of the birds, scratching in gardens, eating grasshoppers in churchyards, and ambling across streets. They used to have an annual rattlesnake roundup in Fitzgerald, but the jungle fowl got to be such a phenomenon that they changed over to the Fitzgerald Wild Chicken Festival. Its motto: “We’re strutting our stuff.” There is a big Friday night street dance, followed the next day by the 5K run, the pinewood derby race, and the ever-popular chicken crowing contest. The festival is scheduled for March 20 and 21 this year. Fitzgerald is just a couple of hours south of Atlanta. You may want to make your reservations early. Or, you could just stay around here and go out to your favorite place for some wings or nuggets. Whether as fighting chickens, tourist draw, or major food source – chickens are important birds to us all.

Spreading love and cheer
Doubly dark And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. (John 1: 14 NRSV) To Bethlehem, to Bosnia, L.A. and Central Park; To where a star is needed, Since the dark is doubly dark; To where our lives require the Lord To set on them his mark. (“God Bless Us and Disturb Us,” from Cloth for the Cradle) New York police officers are gunned down in their squad car; riots and protests continue over the killing of a black man in Ferguson, Missouri; Christmas lights cause fires that kill whole families; mud slides destroy entire towns in California. I think – sarcastically, bitterly – “Happy Holidays!” even while acknowledging the sad reality that “the dark is doubly dark” this year. Oddly enough, I remember Rodney King, who, during the 1992 L.A. riots, implored, “Why can’t we all just get along?” I agree with the idea from Cloth for the Cradle, quoted above: “We need a star.” I step outside before bedtime, or in the morning, before dawn, to look at the stars. I do that because they are bright, shining; they are distant, infinite; they
Cross Currents
Lynn Pitts are mysterious, beautiful. I look for my friends Orion and Cassiopeia, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. That pretty much covers my knowledge of the stars, but it is enough for me, as long as I can count on their showing up where they belong. “Sure on this shining night,” Knoxville poet James Agee wrote, “kindness must watch for me this side the ground.” I learned his words by singing them, and I carry them in my heart, just as I carry the starlight, because, well, in the dark, we all need a star.

By Ruth White Christmas is a time when people give to others and spread love and cheer to friends, family and those who may not have a family of their own. Members of CrossPoint Church have partnered with Northgate Terrace in North Knoxville for many years. Elder Jerry King preaches a church service at the facility several Sundays a month, and for the past two years members have provided gift bags for residents in need. This year, thanks to the generosity of members and several in the community, the church was able to provide for residents and share a little bit of Christmas cheer. CrossPoint Church is at 2000 Loves Creek Road, at Spring Place Presbyterian Church. Members of CrossPoint Church Hadley Curry, Sami Bates and Baleigh Bates unload gift bags to be delivered to residents at Northgate Terrace. Photo by R. White
Start the year right Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Whether you’re feeling great or dealing with a long-standing pain issue, you should start 2015 with a visit to a chiropractor. If you’re feeling great, you can help maintain that feeling throughout the year by going for regular chiropractic tune-ups through the year. And if you’re dealing with a chronic issue like lower back pain, a diagnosis and a plan of treatment prescribed by a doctor of chiropractic is precisely what you need to improve the outlook for the coming year. The guiding principle of chiropractic is that a properly functioning body is capable of healing many of its
own problems. The spinal cord, which carries signals back and forth from the brain, runs through the spine. Therefore, keeping the individual bones of the spine – the vertebrae – properly aligned is critical to the smooth flow of those signals. Misaligned vertebrae can impact nerves and cause ailments from headaches to back pain and more. A spinal adjustment, one of the hallmarks of chiropractic treatment, is a procedure you should treat yourself to at the start of the New Year. Your chiropractor can also help you come up with a regimen of diet and exercise that will help keep you fi ring on all cylinders. While you’re at it, resolve to make appointments with your dentist, physician and any other health care professional you should be visiting regularly. Presented as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, Tenn.; 992-7000.
