He says he has adopted the people of Union County as his own, and the people are certainly welcoming Campbell to their entertainment ranks. Campbell is the son of famed musician, storyteller and artist Archie Campbell. Archie is no longer with us, but his genius lives on in Phil, a talented entertainer in his own right.

Chief Black Fox The Black Fox Community is located in the northeast section of Union County and extends into Grainger County. It is named for a Cherokee leader, according to Dr. Claudius Meade Capps in his book “Indian Legends & Poems.” He wrote: “Black Fox … was killed in battle at a large spring on the farm of my father, Valentine Capps; and, as a boy, I often drank from this spring.”

Volunteers ponder ‘next year’ Good teams are gathering for the peak of this exciting basketball season. Tennessee, not being one of them, is pondering “next year. ... ” Nobody expects the Volunteers to win the national championship. They’ve been playing for 114 years without ever reaching the Final Four but they do need to go in that general direction.

Engineering a bridge Luttrell student wins first place in model bridge contest By Libby Morgan While no concrete bridge building is going on in Union County, Martin Dickey has been building them from basswood at his home in Luttrell, and he’s preparing to take his model bridge design to a new level. Dickey, homeschooled and active in 4-H, won first place in the senior high division of the East Tennessee Model Bridge Building Contest at the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge on March 18. The objective of the student contest is to build a model bridge, according to prescribed size and weight specifications, that is capable of supporting the greatest load per unit of mass. Engineers checked the model bridges for specific weight and dimension guidelines before the models were tested in the AMSE auditorium. Dickey has been modifying his design through a few past entries, and
came up with his best yet. How did he do it? “First, I studied the specifications of the contest in order to understand this year’s requirements. The bridge must weigh no more than 25 grams, so I used basswood, a very light wood, and model grade CA glue. Basically it’s expensive super glue,” Dickey explains. “My approach to the
design, keeping in mind that the idea is to build a bridge that will hold a lot and weigh a little, was to use an arch made of three pieces of basswood lamiDuring the bridge testing, Martin nated together. In previdashed from Oak Ridge to Halls to ous years, I soaked the attend to the 4-H animals provided wood in warm water for a to Mayo’s Garden Center for portraits. couple of hours in a turWhile there, he found out he won the key roaster in the oven in bridge contest, traveled back to Oak order to bend the arch. Ridge, and accepted his prize. This year’s arch was not so tall, so the wood did not have to be bent by soaking. “The sides are trusses designed to keep the arches from splaying. The two trusses were attached with cross bars in the form of X’s and the load plate was placed on top with close attention to keeping it level.” Martin says he has more tweaking to do if he’s going to win the big one. It’s the International Bridge Building Contest in Chicago on April 26 at the Illinois Institute of Technology. “I am working on the Martin Dickey’s basswood design won first place in the model bridge building contest at the American Museum of SciTo page A-3 ence and Energy in Oak Ridge.

Health sciences is growing program By Sandra Clark A strong program in health sciences offers Union County High School students a range of opportunities, from immediate employment after graduation to a solid foundation for further academic work. Starting with one teacher in 2003, the program now has three teachers, all registered nurses, and could use a fourth. Recent competition at Carson-Newman by the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) produced 36 regional winners from Union County. As the program has grown, the classroom space has expanded. Woody Manley said he swapped classrooms with health sciences, and he’s not complaining. The Career and Technical Education (CTE) staff are genuinely supportive of each other and their students. Beth Edmondson said the program started with a $90,000 federal grant. Walking into the classroom is like entering a hospital ward – except the lighting is better. Treatment tables line the walls; curtains can be pulled to add privacy; equipment includes microscopes, blood pressure cuffs, computers and supplies. And you can’t miss the ambulance (sans engine) parked in the center. “Students can go on to become physicians. This

The dual credit program also

gives successful participants four college credits. Students range from special education to advanced, Edmondson said. Freshmen can take an introductory course, but it’s limited to 80 kids. Enrollment is based on grades, attendance and discipline. Recommendations from three teachers are re-
quired for entry into CNA or the internship programs, available to juniors and seniors. Eleven students are enrolled in CNA training with Sharp, who “puts them into the field,” working with area veterinarians, physical therapists and dentists. Field work also happens at Tennova’s hospitals in
Knox County and Claiborne County Hospital. CPR training is offered by Roane State Community College. A new class in medical terminology will be offered next year. The professionalism of this classroom and these teachers is amazing. This writer can’t wait to visit some of the other programs offered at UCHS.

By Libby Morgan The weather wasn’t great last Saturday, but people all over Norris Lake embarked on boats, equipped with boots, gloves and hats, to pick up tons of trash along the banks. Ned Bass, owner of Beach Island Marina since 2009, and his son Jason “Bubba” Bass, provided pontoon boats for the groups that started from there, and brought his backhoe to the ramp to carry the hundreds of bags of collected trash to a dumpster. Other groups departed from Hickory Star and Helms Ferry, while shoreline property owners worked from land. A teen group from New Tazewell, The Upper Room, with their adult leader Dudley Cunningham worked all morning, discovering firsthand the impact of litter on the lake. Gary Sharp of Powell
showed up and helped because he loves the lake. Kellie Pratt came up from Fountain City with son Thomas at the suggestion of her friend Jane Breder, new resident of Hickory Pointe on Norris. Kellie thought it sounded fun. Even after four hours of cold, muddy, dirty labor, she still thought it was fun. (Kellie is married to well-known Fountain Citian Perry Pratt, owner of Pratt’s Market, and Thomas is the star of Knox Rail Salvage television commercials.) “Litter removal throughout Union County is one of our most important projects as a chamber. We work with, and volunteer with, Keep Union County Beautiful, the Adopt-A-Road program, waste management, and all other cleanup initiatives in any way we can,” says Julie Graham, Chamber president. “We’re thrilled that this

Campbell confirms for Art on Main By Cindy Taylor Phil Campbell is coming to Union County for the Art on Main festival. He says he has adopted the people of Union County as his own and the people are certainly welcoming Campbell to their entertainment ranks. Campbell is the son of famed musician, storyteller and artist Archie Campbell. Archie is no longer with us, but his genius lives on in Phil, a talented entertainer in his own right. Phil plays banjo, guitar and harmonica. He can also spin a yarn with the best. Although he says his talents vary from those of his dad, a few of the same mannerisms are apparent – such as the barely restrained energy and the sparkle in the eyes. The younger Campbell says his love of Knoxville, the surrounding area and the people keep him from living anywhere else. “I’m not really that active in the entertainment business anymore,” said
Phil, who appeared on “Hee Haw” during the last four years of the TV show. “I’m not very well known in this part of the country. But I looooove the people here.” Phil continues to be active locally with the gospel group Heart Strings and the quartet 4given. His southern drawl and love of life make him an immensely likeable fellow. Once word got out that he lives close by, musicians in Union County enticed Phil to join them for jam sessions. “These people are the salt of the earth,” said Phil. “Folks in these mountains grew up playing music as a way of life. What else was there to do except sit on the front porch and pick and sing?” Phil will support and promote the Art on Main festival with his comedy and musical talent. But like his father, he doesn’t do anything halfway. He is donating one of Archie’s origi-

nal paintings to the Union County Historical Society. He will present the painting during the Art on Main festival June 1. During the festival Phil will recite his rendition of Rindercella, a piece made
popular by Archie. He plans other comedy as well. “I love performing comedy, and our music that day may be more of a jam session,” said Phil. “It may be spontaneous and when that works, it’s great.”
Phil says his dad always said “nothing is funny before noon or above 75 degrees.” “You have to have an attentive audience to do comedy,” said Phil, who claims he is getting along in years. “I went in and asked for a
facelift one time and the doctor told me it would be cheaper to have my body lowered.” Art on Main will feature local art and talent. The festival will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 1.
The ‘allure’ of Ruth Mihaltian By Cindy Taylor Ruth Mihaltian, 85, has opened Allure Salon and Boutique in Union County. Put her on a poster for energy and vigor. She says staying active keeps her going. After 56 years of working in the same business, most folks would be looking toward retirement. Mihaltian says she loves what she does far too much to even consider quitting. Where hairdressing is concerned, she has done it all: self-employment, working for others, running multiple locations and even operating a beauty school. But it didn’t start out that way. “I was a housewife and young mother when my husband got sick,” she says.
“He insisted I go to school and get a career in case he wasn’t around.” With three kids to care for, it took Mihaltian 17 months to graduate and receive her license. Ruth established her first salon in her home in Ohio right out of beauty school. It wasn’t long until she moved to a larger building and employed five hairdressers. When her first husband passed, she remarried and moved to Florida. While there Ruth advanced her career by obtaining a teaching license in cosmetology. She soon owned multiple salons and a beauty school with seven teachers and more than 150 students. When a friend invited her to visit Tennessee she
fell in love with the countryside and the weather. She went back to Florida and told her husband they were moving. The couple found the perfect spot in Union County and moved in 2001. Ruth quickly established a salon in the Underground Mall in Maynardville. When it flooded, she rented a station at another salon for three years. When an opportunity came to rent a building on Highway 61 close to her home, the decision to establish her own shop once again was an easy one. Her business is off the beaten path, but Mihaltian Ruth Mihaltian, owner of Allure Salon Photo by Cindy Taylor says she doesn’t see that as Ford and offers a wide varia problem. She says during follow her to the new lo- hairdressers soon. Allure Salon and Bou- ety of services as well as loher time here she has built cation.

Naming Black Fox The Black Fox Community is located in the northeast section of Union County and extends into Grainger County. It is named for a Cherokee leader, according to Dr. Claudius Meade Capps in his book “Indian Legends & Poems.”
Bonnie Peters
Maynardville method, Part II
He wrote: “Black Fox … was killed in battle at a large spring on the farm of my father, Valentine Capps; and, as a boy, I often drank from this spring. The spring is the headwaters of Black Fox Creek, named in memory of the Indian chieftain.” It is somewhat confusing to read different accounts of the Black Fox story because Black Fox Road runs in both Union and Grainger counties. At least one map shows Black Fox Creek crossing Black Fox Road and running into Norris Lake. Toni Engstrom is going to take me on a tour of this area, but we will have to wait for it to be a little warmer. She says Williams Creek, named back in the late 1700s, is the one that runs along Black Fox Road in Grainger County and that Black Fox Road was

so named before the local story of an Indian killing incident occurred. The headwater of Williams Creek is off Tater Valley Road. The story that follows the killing of Black Fox at the Union County spring also indicates that the killing was a mistake. The locals misunderstood
– he really meant no harm and had only come to the spring for a drink of water. How sad. Of course the most reasonable explanation is that there were several Indians named Black Fox and when the local Indian was killed, the killers claimed a reputation for murdering
the Chief Black Fox. Toni Engstrom has done a lot of research on Black Fox and has much information. The quandary of the Black Fox place name persists. However, Doctor Capps penned this poem prior to 1932, and it gives us insight into the times and tales of that period:
The Story of the Black Fox Chieftain In the Valley of the Mountains, By the flow of many rivers, Lived the chief of many warriors, Warriors fierce in chase or battle. And the mountains to the eastward, Made a barrier to the pale face, Made a barrier to his people. And the rivers running southward, With their green and winding valleys, Made a pleasant place to live in. Made a place for many a tepee, Made a place of many wigwams, Made the homes of many people. In the mounds along the hillsides, Made of stones and earth together, Rest the bones of many warriors, Rest the bones of many people. People long forgot in memory, Of a race that long has vanished From this land of many rivers. But their mounds and ancient vessels, Still remain to write their story Of a people long departed. To this valley came a pale face, From the land beyond the mountains, Came and saw a happy people. And the mighty chieftain, Black Fox, Met the pale face like a brother, Took him with him to his wigwam, Feasted him with many favors. Showed to him his happy country,
And the number of his warriors, And the places where they gathered For pursuit of strife or pleasure. And departing, safely guided, To this man beyond the mountains, Sent him back to home and people. And the mighty chieftain, Black Fox, Resting peacefully in his wigwam, Little thought of fear or danger From the pale face and his people. And the Springtime passed to Summer, In this land of many rivers, And the warriors and their maidens, Floating downward in the moonlight, Sang their songs of many pleasures. Came an army from the eastward, From across the many mountains, Came the pale face and his people, Armed with pieces of the thunder. Long and fierce the contest lasted, Till the Summer passed to Autumn, And were many, many warriors Slain, along with Black Fox, chieftain. And their spirits passed to Heavenward. Going upward into the air, Changed its hues to golden yellow, As it is in Autumn everywhere. And when their spirits, oft returning, To view again their resting - place, It brings to us the Indian Summer. It is so named by the pale face race.

Next year is now for baskets Good teams are gathering for the peak of this exciting basketball season. Tennessee, not being one of them, is pondering “next year.” Cuonzo Martin is on the clock. He must know NIT one and done is unacceptable. Too much is invested for a 20-13 return – big building, rich recruiting budget, $$$ checks to coaches. Nobody expects the Volunteers to win the national championship. They’ve been playing for 114 years without ever reaching the Final Four but they do need to go in that general direction. The university cannot afford mediocrity. Basketball must succeed and look good doing it. Empty seats at Thompson-Boling are

a very bad omen. Do not blame the customers. Attendance was better than the team. Orange was ugly at times. “Next year” is crucial for Cuonzo. He is not a circus barker or slick seller of snake oil. He does not talk a good game but I still think he has the potential to be a star – if, if, if. Improvement starts with keeping NBA dreamers from making a mistake. Getting Jeronne Maymon back on
April Fool! At the crack of dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the burial spices they had prepared. They found the entrance stone rolled back from the tomb, so they walked in. But once inside, they couldn’t find the body of the Master Jesus. They were puzzled, wondering what to make of this. (Luke 24: 1-4a The Message) This is strange and dangerous ground, I realize. It is April Fool’s Day, which seems a frivolous way to celebrate the second day of Eastertide! Until one considers that Death is the one who was fooled! I have a “surrational” picture on my office wall. It was given to me by a dear friend, someone who understood the role of the deacon better than most of the average folks in the pew. Let me explain. Histori-
cally, the deacon’s role is servant ministry. In the earliest days of the church, the deacons waited tables: they served the hungry congregation. Nowadays, we frequently say that a deacon stands at the door of the Church: one foot in the world and one foot in the sanctuary. Deacons today serve in extension ministries; we work in churches, yes, but also in hospitals and schools and social service agencies and missions.
the court would be a boost. Recruiting people who can play would be encouraging. It appears adjustments are waiting to be made. Solving the point guard problem would make Martin’s motion offense better. Some of us believe it is best to get the ball inside now and then. It would be good to have more assists than turnovers. The coach could improve his chances against zone defenses. Most teams use dribble penetration and passes to the post. Tennessee plays bombs away. If perimeter shooters connect, they discourage zones. If they miss, the zone wins. (See Alabama tape). Wouldn’t it be great if Coach could teach his
Cross Currents

People frequently look at my “surrational” picture and ask, “What am I seeing here?” That is because at the top of the picture, it appears to be a city street full of cars, with tall buildings on either side of the street. However, if one lets one’s eye travel down the picture, suddenly the street becomes an aisle in a church, and the buildings look like church pews. It is a little disconcerting. That picture makes this deacon happy because the church and the world are integrated into one thing. But recently I found an-
guards to guard quick guards? Teaching speed is difficult. Perhaps the focus might be on improving technique. Dare we mention defense? Cuonzo’s reputation is rooted in defense. His key strategy is effort. Statistics create suspicion. Tennessee ranked 114 in the country at preventing field goals. It was 339 in steals. Lack of quickness? Could be. Thousands of UT fans who respect the coach as a standup guy, a role model and rock-solid mentor of young men appreciate the leadership he offers. He apparently follows the rules and seems highly unlikely to embarrass the establishment. That isn’t quite enough to compensate for losing home and away to Georgia. That does not explain scor-
ing 37 and 38 in back-toback losses at Georgetown and Virginia. Inexplicable January slumps by Trae Golden and Jarnell Stokes were major factors in the 3-6 start in the Southeastern Conference race. The Vols were on the edge of awful when their overall record was 1110. They recovered. Martin changed his lineup and picked up the pace. Jordan McRae turned into a remarkable scorer. Stokes became a double-double machine after the coach fi led a formal complaint about SEC officiating. The Vols won eight of nine. They were combative on the road. They outrebounded most foes. They killed Kentucky by 30. They upset Florida. They gutted out four overtimes at Texas A&M. They never played beau-
other of Scott Mutter’s surrational pictures that gave me one of those true “Aha!” moments. It is titled “The Grave.” It is a photograph of a mausoleum in a cemetery. The beholder can clearly see the other tombstones and the grass around the mausoleum. Then, the viewer realizes that the entrance to the vault is not the usual heavy wooden door with a lock and bolt. It is a revolving glass door. When I realized what I was seeing, I smiled. Then I laughed out loud. “There it is!” I thought. “That is the Easter miracle in a single picture!” We, like the disciples and the women, think of death as the end. Even when we say we believe in an afterlife, we mourn our dead as if we will never see them again. Our grief, our
loss, is real, and we cannot fully imagine what lies on the other shore. But here is the wonderful, awesome, fantastic, almost-unbelievable truth: Jesus, the crucified Christ, turned a huge stone into a revolving door and walked out of the tomb on Easter morning, alive forevermore. And no grave will ever again hold sway over Him, or over those who believe in Him. So who is the April Fool? That would be Death, who has lost all his power, and holds sway over absolutely nothing. Christ is alive! Alleluia! Happy Easter!

tiful basketball but they were generally tough. Alas, they did not finish. The late loss at Georgia was terminal. They bounced back with a thriller over Missouri. They were dull again in the SEC tournament loss to Alabama. Hearts were broken when they were ignored by NCAA selectors. They didn’t show much zip against Mercer. Here is where Cuonzo stands: A coach in the big leagues must field a team that draws a crowd. Apathy is fatal. He must compete for conference crowns. He must resist violations. Tennessee, with all its resources, really should appear in the NCAA tournament. Cruel world, isn’t it. You are part of the buzz or you start early on “next year.”

A ‘country jewel’ on Hickory Valley Road Betty King is a Halls resident and sings in the Silvertone choir at Beaver Dam Baptist Church. She was born and raised on a farm on Hickory Valley Road in Heiskell. Her parents, Arthur and Eva Lewis, built their homestead and barn in 1929. Their farm of 40 acres consisted of alfafa, hay and tobacco fields, along with a large herd of cattle.
Barnyard Tales Kathryn Woycik The cow trough was on a concrete area located in the barn. One of King’s fond memories is roller skating on that slab, which was kept clean by her dad. He hired farm laborers to help harvest mixed vegetables, which were sold to the Bush Cannery in Clinton. Her mother worked hard, cook-

She would trudge through the deep snow to get to school, even when buses weren’t running. At least one teacher would make it to school for a fun day of play at school. Eventually the farm was divided and sold. In 1996, Claudia Jewel and her husband purchased the property as a retirement settlement. Claudia loved old barns and wanted to preserve this one.

Chiropractic is not a cure-all Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC While the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for certain ailments, lower back pain chief among them, is amply documented, it does not claim to be the answer to every health concern. Chiropractic treatment, for instance, is not appropriate for diabetes or cancer. A diabetic needs the attention of a physician and a cancer patient needs treatment from an oncologist or other medical care provider. But chiropractic treatment is not some New Age fad. The roots of the concept go back to 2700 B.C., showing up in writings that refer to manipulating the spine and lower extremities to ease lower back pain. Your chiropractor is trained and educated to know when to refer you to another health care provider. Chiropractors routinely refer patients to other specialists. But even if chiropractic is not the right treatment for a condition, know that regular visits to a chiropractor when you’re feeling good can help keep you that way. The underlying principle of chiropractic is that by keeping the spine in proper alignment and keeping all the nerves that emanate from it unobstructed, the body is in many cases capable of healing itself. Talk with a chiropractor about ways you can benefit from chiropractic treatment. Brought to you as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, TN; 992-7000.

maintained its character and charm and has transformed the place into a true country getaway. Anyone wanting to share the age, history, or story of their barn can contact me at woycikK@ ShopperNewsNow.com.
