All about Jones
Because some still insist Jon Gruden was available for the right price, the new-coach impact is not yet 100 percent absolutely positive but Butch Jones sure has generated exciting commentary.

Two women at the well
Wells were important meeting places in the Bible. They were necessary in that arid land for the life-giving water they stored, and they functioned much as town squares do today. Someone from every household in the village went to the well at least once a day. Lynn Hutton recounts two biblical encounters at the very same well, roughly 1,300 years apart.

By Cindy Taylor While most children were home the day after Christmas playing with new toys, Aland Atkins, 6, was busy saving his mom’s life. While driving back from her mom’s home in Luttrell, Tameika Hardy had severe chest pains. She managed to drive home and get her youngest in bed and the others settled. Along with Aland, Hardy has children ages 5, 2 and 11 months. She was the only adult in the house when the chest pain
returned, worse than before and accompanied by nausea and a cold sweat. Aland realized something was very wrong and brought his mom a cold cloth. He placed it on the back of her neck and stayed beside her. “I have no idea how he knew to do that,” said Hardy. “But that is the last thing I remember until I woke up at the hospital.” His mom passed out and Aland got busy. He went in search
of his mom’s phone that she said took her a week to learn to use. He found the phone, unlocked it and somehow got into her contact list. He then looked for names he knew and began calling all of them, starting with his mamaw, Hardy’s mother. Aland told everyone he called, “Mommy’s on the floor and I can’t wake her up.” Within minutes relatives arrived, 911 was called and Hardy was on her way to the hospital

Expanding a dream By Cindy Taylor Jan. 12 was a date that had been a long time coming for Maynardville Library director Chantay Collins and her staff. The library expansion was finally completed, and the renovation was open for the public to come hang out and share ice cream. “This is huge and has been my dream for a long time,” said Collins. “We will be able to offer so much more with this additional space.” More indeed. The new space will allow for expansion of current programs, additional afterschool kids programs, musical entertainment, book signings, training classes and gizmo gadget classes. Collins says the possibilities are endless.
A new Xbox promotes reading. Kids can get 30 minutes of play time after 30 minutes of reading. Elves live behind doors built at a child’s eye level as gnomes and fairies create mischief in their own spaces. The addition will house a tutoring room, recording studio, video editing room and lots of storage. Collins asked County Commission for a one-time appropriation to fund the expansion. The entire space with its vivid colors promotes imagination and forward thinking and reflects the library motto of happiness, imagination, discover, creativity, wonder, love, belief, vision, enlightenment, inspiration,

Coffee Break with
long lunch? My mamaw Anna Marie Hickman. I never got to meet her but everyone says she was a smart, beautiful lady.
Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life? My mamaw and papaw Padgett. I practically lived at their house during summers when I was younger. They taught me many things about life that I couldn’t have learned anywhere else. They helped me become who I am and I miss them every day.
I still can’t quite get the hang of …
Ashley Padgett
Making homemade sweet tea. I can cook almost anything but can never get a pot of tea just right. And it seems so simple.
She may not be the tallest person you’ll meet (she thinks she’s short), but Ashley Padgett makes up for her height with a huge heart for Union County farmers and 4Hers. Padgett has been with the Union County Extension office since July 2012 as administrative assistant. She moved from her position with the Union County Soil Conservation District where she was a Hinds Creek Restoration Initiative contract worker. “I love my job and had always dreamed of working to make a difference in agriculture and education,” she said. Padgett has a degree in agriculture from Walters State. She grew up on the family farm where she still lives and is an active member of Warwick’s Chapel Baptist Church. “I am a very headstrong but outgoing person,” she says. “I love anything outdoors. Growing up I loved roaming through the barn, playing in the creek and was into everything.” Padgett’s family always had an array of animals including Angus cattle, chickens, rabbits, horses, Australian shepherds and any other stray they could drag in. Ashley is the oldest of Allen and Ava Padgett’s three children. She has a sister, Allison, and brother, Alex. Padgett says her family is close-knit and shares everything. Allison attends Walters State and loves volunteering at the Extension office. Alex is a 5th grader at Maynardville Elementary and an active member of 4H. “My parents have always filled me with encouragement,” said Padgett. “They have pushed me to do anything I could dream of.” Padgett loves four-wheeling, gardening and canning and has recently taken up sewing. Her favorite activity is a day in the woods hunting or fishing with her sweetheart, Ethan. “There is nothing I enjoy more than spending time and sharing a laugh with the ones I love.” Sit and have a coffee break as you get to know Ashley Padgett.

Rainy day policy With all the wet weather we’ve been having, its good to know there is a business looking out for its customers. Food City has a rainy day policy that benefits not just the elderly, but anyone with a cart full of groceries trying to get to their car in inclement weather. Matthew Collins is one of the many employees on standby, waiting to spot a customer in need.

“It’s not just me,” said Collins. “I have a lot of other duties, but I like doing this.” “We have a lot of employees who participate in this service,” said Food City manager Scott Inklebarger. “It isn’t just our store either. It is the entire Food City company.” ■

TEL benefits seniors
The Tennessee Electronic Library (TEL) system has many benefits, and those who frequent the senior center often take advantage of them. Mark Whitmill spends at least one day each week at the center. “Mark is in here a lot and loves listening to music on the computer,” said Senior Center director Melanie Dykes. “There is a lot more the site offers that people don’t know about.” The site is fi lled with student resources such as the World Book Encyclopedia and lesson plans. There is also consumer health information, magazines and journals and how-to videos. “There is something there for everyone,” said Maynardville Library director Chantay Collins.

Paul Carter at Fun Center donated hundreds of DVDs and shelves for the new space, and Chris Edmondson and Jason Alexander worked tirelessly on the renovations. Artist Brandi Walker donated an original painting that will be hung in Collins’ office. Collins is grateful for everyone’s hard work and dedication. During the grand opening folks were able to tour the library without tripping over each other or furniture as they had in the former space. The computer center is now a primary focus, and the openness of the library makes everything more accessible. Collins and the staff invite everyone to stop in and visit the new community library. “What we can do for the community with this

found my phone, unlocked it and knew how to scroll through my contacts to find and call people he knew,” said Tameika. She asked Aland why he didn’t call 911 as she had taught him, and he said, “Mommy, I don’t know the address here and I don’t know how to tell them to get here. So I called the person I knew would get here the fastest and that was Mamaw.” “I am so grateful to my family who rushed over and also helped during my hospital stay,” said Hardy. “My mom Tina Poindexter, Vikki and Charlie Cooper, Lisa Poindexter and my sister Cynthia Houser and her fiancé Tim Wyrick.” Wyrick made the decision to call 911. Hardy was
told that she would probably not have survived the ordeal had it not been for the quick reactions by Aland and her family. “This made me realize I need to slow down and take time with my children,” said Hardy. “I thank God that I am still here and that my son was smart enough to know he needed to call somebody. I am so much closer to God, my children and my family. I look at life very different now.” It may be years before Aland truly realizes the role he played in saving his mom’s life. For right now he is a man of few words. “I saw mommy fall and called Mamaw,” he said. Reach Cindy Taylor at brentcindyt@ gmail.com

government Bad jokes and good ideas at school board Wayne Goforth wants to know when a school board member calls one of the board’s attorneys, but that can’t happen. Wayne, they’re talking about you! Goforth says without knowing who called and when, he can’t reasonably pay the bills. As the debate raged, Marilyn Toppins raced to the microphone and said: “If you can’t trust your lawyer, fire your lawyer!” Marilyn, you trust lawyers? Marty Gibbs doesn’t. “I trust a lot of people,” he said, “but I prefer checks and balances.” Henry Bledsoe, founder and CEO of Professional Educational Services Group, introduced himself to the school board in an effort to assist with placing Bledsoe non-certified personnel, particularly substitute teachers.
Sandra Clark
Bledsoe’s company serves the Great Lakes region although he lives in Nashville. He employs more than 22,000 substitute teachers, offers training and saves money for school districts, he said. Board chair David Coppock appointed a budget committee to consider how to pay school nurses. Members are Marty Gibbs, Gerald Smith and Brian Oaks. Carolyn Murr, representing the teachers’ association, got in her usual jab about textbooks (she wants new ones) and then noted the school calendar: “It’s got us working on President’s Day and off for Martin Luther King Day. “There would not have been a Martin Luther King without presidents.”

Commission debates finance law By Sandra Clark County Commission and the school board continue to discuss the county’s decision to merge all accounting into a centralized office under Mayor Mike Williams. “I’m for it,” said Commissioner Mike Sexton, “but my understanding was we would bill (the schools for services).” Bryan Burklin, a CPA and auditor for the state comptroller’s office, visited with commissioners on Jan. 14 to discuss the program. He said a bill will be introduced this year to clarify and expand it. (See Betty Bean’s report below.) “Most counties I audit bill the school department (for the cost of accounting),” Burklin said. “One county does not bill. How a county handles it is up to you all.” The school board, meeting on Jan. 10, debated whether to replace Glenn Coppock, the finance director who retired after an on-and-off yearlong medical leave of absence.
Director Wayne Goforth said the position is budgeted and he plans to hire someone at a reduced salary to help with the workload in accounting. Board member Marty Gibbs asked the county’s new finance director, Ann Myers, to respond, and Myers said, “I’ll make myself available two days a week to work in your office so you don’t have to spend that money. “I’m here to help ... and am willing to learn.” Her offer drew applause from people in the audience who were present to lobby for funding for school nurses. Centralized accounting will start July 1, the beginning of the county’s fiscal year. At Monday’s commission meeting, Commissioner Jeff Brantley directed pointed questions to Burklin: What happens if the school board refuses to pay the county for accounting services? Burklin: “This should be worked out in the budget process.”

Clark Brantley: “We can’t tell (the school board) how to spend its money.” Burklin: “I’ve never seen a county that could not work it out.” Voice in the back: “Welcome to Union County.” A final wrinkle came from county attorney K. David Myers: “We write the checks once we take over. They cannot refuse to pay.” Burklin: “It’s not unusual for there to be fear of change
Proposed law will move all county finance to mayor’s office By Betty Bean The state comptroller’s office is pushing a new bill called the County Financial Management System Act of 2013 that will move school and general government finance departments into the

office of the county mayor. It is a local option bill, which means that counties can opt in by a 2/3 vote of county commission. It is not expected to apply to Knox, Davidson, Hamilton or Shelby counties, which have charter governments, and it has not yet been filed. “It is not in any shape, form or fashion mandatory,” said Jason Mumpower, chief of staff to state Comptroller Justin Wilson. Currently, counties are operating under the Financial Management Act of 1981. Before that, the most recent overhaul of the Financial Management Act was in 1957. “Those two (dates) alone
might tell you it’s time to adopt an updated act,” Mumpower said. “It is not mandatory – we’re just providing another tool.” Mumpower said the purpose of the bill is to set up centralized finance offices to take the burden off individual offices. “There are several counties in the state that have centralized financial offices,” he said. “It doesn’t run roughshod over anybody.” He said this measure will not result in a loss of autonomy for school systems or other departments. “No, I wouldn’t say that’s what it is. It’s simply a new structure,” Mumpower said.
... fear of loss of control.” Marty Gibbs, speaking only for himself: “I don’t think our school board wants to work with centralized accounting. School finances are very complex with (reporting requirements associated with) federal funds and numerous grants.” Mike Williams: “How could anyone not be on board? I still think (centralized accounting is) the right thing for our county.”
“I think that some of our friends out there may have been a little confused about what’s in the bill because there were early drafts floating around, and as we heard from concerned county officials, we made changes based on their suggestions. We have not even filed the bill yet, and I think their concerns will be soothed by the new draft. “We would view this as a way to move this great state forward. It will be like moving from an old adding machine to a state-of-the-art computer. And two-thirds of County Commission is a high bar.” Finally, Mumpower said the bill’s prime sponsors are well acquainted with the needs of county government. Senate sponsor Ken Yager served 24 years as Roane County mayor/county executive and House sponsor Bob Ramsey previously chaired the Blount County Commission.

Two women at the well While Jacob was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them. Now when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the sheep of his mother’s brother Laban, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of his mother’s brother Laban. (Genesis 29: 9-10 NRSV)

A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food). The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria? (John 4: 7-9a NRSV)

I like that.” “You can’t tell if a coach will be successful until he is or isn’t.” “Butch Jones has a plan. His system has produced results.

usually done by the women, and thus the visit to the well became a social occasion too. The women visited, caught up on village news, gossiped, joked, teased, empathized and encouraged each other, much like women of today. The snippets of Scripture quoted above, however, recount two encounters at the very same well, roughly 1,300 years apart. These stories are strange to us, and at the same time, they are very familiar. Jacob looked at Rachel, saw a beautiful young woman and fell in love. Jesus, on the other hand, saw the Samaritan woman, looked deep into her soul, and told her the truth about herself.
Important things happened at that well. Jacob found the love of his life. The Samaritan woman found truth, meaning, freedom and a Savior. Where are the places and the moments in our own lives when love and truth intersect? It is vital for each of us to have someone in our lives who loves us enough to tell us the truth. That person can be a parent, sibling, child, spouse, friend, pastor or colleague. And we, for our part, have to be willing to hear that truth. Like Joseph, we may come to the well seeking only water and find that we have discovered love. Like the Samaritan woman, we may come to the well
seeking only water, and find – to our surprise – that we have discovered truth, direction, meaning, liberation, salvation. Both Joseph and the woman were surprised. That is how God works. Sometimes, God sneaks up on us and pours out blessings, drenching us with love, laughter, joy, freedom, contentment. Other times, we have to make the trek to the well, and we have to carry that heavy container to hold the water. Then, and only then, will we receive what God has stored up for us. My prayer for you is that God will bless you today and every day in all the ways that lead you to drink deeply of His goodness, mercy and love.

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Shoveling snow may seem like an easy way to get a workout. But it can be risky business. You should check with your physician to see if it’s an activity your general state of health can tolerate. If an enterprising neighborhood youngster wants to make a few dollars, you should encourage his ambition and spare yourself the work. But if you’re fit enough and you have to shovel yourself, here are some ideas to keep in mind so that you’re not left aching, or worse: • Don’t try to hurl the snow over to a pile. Walk it over. The repeated wrenching motion of throwing is not good for your back. • When lifting heavy snow, or anything heavy, for that matter, bend at the knees, not at the waist, and lift with your legs. Your leg muscles constitute the strongest muscle group in the body. • Rest frequently. Injuries are more common when you’re tired. • If you know you’ll have to shovel on a work morning, allow yourself a little extra time so you’re not rushing on slippery footing. • Layer your clothing so you can shed a layer as you perspire. • If you feel any chest pain or shortness of breath, stop immediately.

He says the team is doing well and the coach is very good at what he does. “Jake is a wrestling team captain and also the No. 1 golfer at the school,” said coach Frankie Morgan. “He is the most dedicated and most improved wrestler I have.”
