The rotting hulk has been just offshore by Shirlee Grabko and Bill Manning’s dock, and heavily perfuming the nearby air.

Back in 1989, M. T. Booker decided to retire from his post as State Farm Insurance agent in Maynardville. Enter David McCollough, who had been working with Phil Nichols in Halls for a couple of years. “I looked back at some photos from then. I had a lot more hair and I weighed a lot less,” jokes McCollough. He and his staff are celebrating his 25th year of providing auto, home, life and health insurance in Maynardville. The office is on Monroe Street across from the courthouse. “My first claim was probably my oddest. A car hit a horse up in Tater Valley. There were injuries involved and, sadly, the horse died. “And in 1994, a hailstorm caused a huge number of claims.

firsthand what softball-sized hail looks like. “Insurance has changed a lot in 25 years. We used to cold call all over the area. Tanya Cooke did a lot of that for me. But with new regulations and legislation, we don’t do that anymore. “A lot of my business is from out-of-towners. They see that there’s a State Farm here, and they come in for coverage on their vacation property.” He mentions Darlene Wine as one of the newcomers who showed up, and stayed for 13 years, working in the office. She retired last year. Traci Hickman is the administrative assistant and Lisa Loy takes care of customer service. David’s son, Jake, has been at the State Farm office for a year and hopes to advance his career with State Farm. Info: 992-5268.

Prosecuting criminals every day By Sandra Clark Lori Phillips-Jones has an easy laugh, but don’t let that fool you. The district attorney general has a backbone of ramrod steel. Convicting and jailing criminals has a way of toughening up a person. Running for election for the first time since her appointment by Gov. Bill Haslam in 2012, Phillips-Jones is juggling trials in her 5-county district with campaign events and her family. She’s also monitoring legislation and working with state Rep. Dennis Powers to make it harder to buy ingredients for methamphetamines. She says juggling is nothing new. Most women learn early to multi-task. “With our work in General Sessions, Juvenile and Criminal

Jared Effler, a longtime assistant district attorney, is challenging Phillips-Jones in the Aug. 7 election. Effler, who lives in Union County, requested 50 earned days off to campaign. Phillips-Jones just fired him. “Had he been gone for 50 days, now would we cover (our) court (dates)?” she said. “(His absence) would have left our office understaffed.” On Effler’s chief campaign issue – an office in every county – Phillips-Jones says the state allocates a specific amount of money. “There’s no money to open an office (in Union and Fentress counties) and staff them fulltime.” The assistant

First Ridge Runners all smiles

Ballot set for August 7 election By Sandra Clark Barring a withdrawal on April 10, the ballot for the non-partisan Aug. 7 general election has been set. There were a couple of surprises. Union County Mayor Mike Williams drew two challengers: Jeff Brantley, who owns a trucking company and currently serves on the county commission; and Thomas Heemstra, a retired Air Force and business executive who lives in Sunset Bay. Sheriff Earl Loy Jr. faces former chief deputy William F. “Billy” Breeding II. Constable and former state representative Chad Faulkner had picked up a petition but withdrew on April 2. He is a candidate for re-election as constable. Register of Deeds Mary Beth Kitts is opposed by Republican Party activist Ruth Cooke. Three officeholders are unopposed: County Clerk Pam Ailor, Trustee Gina Buckner and Circuit Court Clerk Barbara Williams. County Commission: Here’s the lineup with incumbents in bold. District 1 – 3 seats: Gary England and Janet Holloway. Stanley Boles picked up qualifying papers but didn’t turn them in, leaving two candidates for three seats. Boles said he “went back and forth” on whether to run for re-election, finally deciding he could not give the job his best efforts. A write-in candidate could be elected if he or she files a Certificate of WriteIn Candidacy by noon on June 18, said Deborah Viles,

administrator of elections. If there is no write-in candidate, there will be a vacancy on Sept. 1 for this seat. “If a vacancy occurs, County Commission may or may not appoint someone to fill that seat. If they do appoint someone, that person will serve until the next general election, which will be November 2014. If County Commission chooses not to appoint someone to fill the seat, the office will be on the ballot for November.” District 2 – 2 seats: Sheila Buckner, Robert Bowers, Brenda Savage Jessee, Darel Donahue, James B. Greene, Tony Strevel. District 3 – 2 seats: Billy Cox, J.M. Bailey. District 4 – 2 seats: Dennis Nicley, Doyle Welch, Bill Collins, Dawn Flatford. District 5 – 2 seats: Mike Hale, Kenny Hill, Chris Upton. District 6 – 3 seats: Mike Sexton, Jonathan Goforth, R. L. Jones. District 7 – 2 seats: Wayne G. Roach, Joyce Meltabarger, Lynn Beeler. School board: Expect turnover, at least in District 3 where Bill Sexton is not seeking re-election. Here’s the lineup. District 3 – Calvin Chesney, Johnny R. Collins.

Lori graduated from UT’s College of Law in 1999. She started working in the prosecutor’s office 14 years ago as a criminal investigator.

Top winner at just over 28 minutes is Bobby Douglas.

“Being district attorney is more than showing up for court … and wearing a suit,” she says. As the first female district attorney in her circuit (and one of only four statewide), she knows that eyes are on her. She welcomes the challenge. She plans to put criminals behind bars, help families collect child support and battle drugs in her 5-county circuit. Hey, that sounds like multi-tasking! Lori is ready. She wears a suit.

Norris Paddling Adventures rents and sells Hydrobikes. Yoga instructor Amber Boone balances on a paddleboard by Norris Dam.

Photos by Libby Morgan

Gliding cool, calm waters In a stone-surrounded cove tucked up next to Norris Dam, John Marquis has the perfect setting for paddling school. Marquis started Norris Paddling Adventures last summer and has geared up for another season with a stable of new Hydrobikes, paddleboards, canoes and kayaks. He teaches the use of the rentals, and plans to have outdoor fitness classes on the Hydrobikes. All of the watercraft can be rented by the hour or day, and taken out on the nearby main channel and beyond. The cove, though, is nicely separated from wake disturbance, and was formed when dam builders and Civilian Conservation Corps members quarried the stone for the terraces, walls and buildings originally built at Norris Dam and Big Ridge state parks. Marquis is a licensed professional outdoor recreation guide and worked and lived in Maine until a couple of years ago. “Stand up paddle boarding, or SUP, has its origins in longboard surfing, where paddlers could go out to the ocean waves and photograph surfers up close,� says Marquis.

Cow carcass in Norris Lake Manager of the Knoxville Environmental Field Office of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation) that the cleanup was the responsibility of the property owner,� said Wilson. “I don’t own the water. My property begins at the 1044 line.� (1,044 ft. above sea level is the altitude that is exactly 24 ft. higher than Norris Lake’s full pool level.) Atchley said, “The water is owned by everyone. We hold property owners responsible, by issuing permits and fines, for anything that poses a threat to the waters in Tennessee. We can’t hold TVA responsible for debris that ends up in the water. “We hear about a lot of situations like this. Horses, cows and other animals in our waters. Unfortunately,

we don’t have the capacity or the authority to help.� And he went on to say his agency is in place to protect the waters of the state, and to prevent degradation of downstream water quality. Hmmm. Grabko had similar results with a phone call to TVA. “I called the main TVA number listed for Norris Lake. I left a detailed message about our location, our address and the cow, etc. The next day there was a message on our home phone from a woman who only identified herself as from TVA and saying that it is the property owner’s responsibility to handle the situation as TVA no longer does that sort of thing. I saw no reason to call back. “Dustin McCubbins, manager of Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area, said he would take care of the cow, but when he didn’t, Bill followed up with an email. Dustin said that his boat was not running and he had no money in the budget to fix it,� said Grabko. “I called the sheriff’s office, told them my sad story and was told that the message would be passed on.� “We’re well into week three of the Headless Deteriorating Cow Incident. It’s just

wrong on so many levels.� Grabko and Manning are moving to Idaho and had already sold their boat. In a series of phone calls Wednesday morning, this writer was told: 1) TVA absolutely does not remove animals from the water – by the TVA Environmental Information Center; 2) TVA would leave immediately from Norris Dam by water and take care of the problem – by the program manager of TVA Property and Natural Resources, Gary Chappell; and 3) TVA had appeared and roped the cow by the hind leg and headed away with it – by Grabko. Hmmm. Is there a moral to the story? Two, actually. Gary Chappelle is a guy who gets it done; and his phone number is 865-632-1322.

opinion Remembering Dave Franks When I arrived at the Dave Franks Day festivities at the Union County Museum on March 16, I greeted Dave and asked him if I could take his picture. Of course, he obliged.

Bonnie Peters James David Franks 1929 - 2014

I didn’t have any idea how I might use the picture, and I surely had no idea I’d need it so soon On April 5, I attended Dave’s funeral. You see, he died in his sleep on April 2, 2014. Dave’s daughter, Linda Franks Seeley, delivered a beautiful eulogy – a great tribute to her father. The Rev. M.C. Taylor, his pastor, brought words of comfort to family and friends. Anyone could tell the Rev. Taylor knew Dave. He knew where Dave had been, what he had done and where he has gone. Dave was a pilot, a veteran, a businessman, a tinkerer – a jack of all trades. Dave brought his barbecue to civic events. He grew huge pumpkins and brought those to show at festivals. He connected with people by email to the very end. Union County will certainly miss Dave. He gave, he participated in whatever was happening

at the time and he seemed to fully enjoy it all. Dave could make things happen. I didn’t know I had “paid it forward� until daughter Linda made a request to all attendees at the funeral. She asked that everyone just “remember daddy� with a story from time to time that he might live on through those stories. I only met Linda and her brother, James David Franks Jr., at the funeral, but I was able to tell her that Dave is included in “Tales from the Hills and Hollows of East Tennessee,� “A History of Hansard Chapel Methodist Church� and Shopper-News. He most definitely will be remembered by his cookbooks, the Hansard Church steeple, the lettering adorning the Union County Museum and his many acts of kindness. Our deepest sympathy is extended to his wife, Betty, and the entire Franks family.

Timeless treasures I once missed a day of school, and when I returned and found that everyone had learned long division during my absence, I cried. The teacher said, “Mincey, darling! What’s wrong with you?� I blubbered, “I can’t do this.� “Ah, that’s no problem. [Clint] Cooke, get over there and show him how to divide.� This masterful educator who could teach a class of around 35 students to long divide in a single day (without calculators) was none other than Ms. Wanza Sharp. Math was her passion – there were stretches of several days she taught nothing else. When we left fourth grade, we knew the multiplication tables, states and capitals and the value of working crossword puzzles. We also learned values of hard work and thriftiness. Chip Brown remembers

Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME Ms. Wanza saying, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Somebody had to pay for it.� We were taught not to be wasteful. Fourth grade was the first year we ate lunch in the classroom as overcrowding required classes be taught in the cafeteria/gym/auditorium. Duty-free lunch for teachers was years in the future, and we had glorious times eating every day with Ms. Sharp. For a little fellow I could be voracious, and some of my favorite lunches were BBQ sandwiches and sloppy

joes. I collected sandwiches from those who didn’t want them and kept them until afternoon snack time in an old refrigerator Ms. Sharp recovered from a closed school. We were also taught to share and pay our own way. Fourth grade was the first time we could buy popsicles after lunch, and Ms. Sharp encouraged us to buy in pairs, each student paying half. Students who bought entire popsicles were only allowed to eat half per day, the remainder stored in the refrigerator in back of the classroom, next to the blackboard also recovered from a closed school and used for extra board space for practicing math. Nothing was wasted. Termites destroyed part of Ms. Sharps’ books during the summer, but she salvaged what she could and let several students have damaged books for their own. This

is where I received my first dictionary – though it had lost its first and last few pages, it is a treasure I have to this day. We received new math books that year, and Ms. Sharp gave us the old ones to take home for extra practice. The covers of mine were edge worn and bound with electrical tape, some of the pages were repaired with transparent tape, but not one page was missing – I played school with that book for years and still have this remnant of days when schoolbooks were loved, repaired and recycled more often than replaced. Teaching was a passion for Ms. Wanza. The values of thrift, resourcefulness and sharing she taught are timeless treasures that often seem forgotten in today’s society. I fear the world needs more “Wanzas� to save it from itself. Next I will share memories of the “not-so-real� in yesterday’s classrooms. Dr. Ronnie Mincey is a supervisor for Union County Public Schools.

Calm times in the county It makes for lame newspaper reporting, but calm times are restful if unexpected. That’s the case with Union County Public Schools and the commission.

Basketball is a simple game I never said I know it all but I really thought I understood. Sixty-three years ago, as a high school senior, not yet 17, I concluded my only season as coach of eighth-grade basketball – undefeated and very confident. My mentor was not surprised. He had said “basketball is such a simple game, even you can teach it.” All you have to do is control time and space – and don’t give up the baseline. He explained that effort and positioning are key ingredients of defense and rebounding. He said shooting was a bit more complicated, that even the best players rarely made half their shots. He recommended getting as

close to the basket as possible before “putting it up.” He favored passing over dribble penetration but liked that the round ball delivered predictable bounces. He said 10 players were not enough to clutter the entire floor, leaving room for minor strategy. Way back then, he said caring for the basketball was critical, possession equaled points. Some years later, when

Dick Campbell was coach at Carson-Newman College, he invested considerable time in refining my knowledge. After that, I learned by watching a thousand practices conducted by Ray Mears at Tennessee. Sometimes I asked Stu Aberdeen what the heck he was doing. To tell you the truth, those men covered it. I’ve seen and heard 19 versions of the same information but I haven’t learned a lot of sizzling new stuff. A few mysteries have come and gone: A motion offense absolutely requires movement. There are intelligent debates about when to call or not call timeout, when to substitute, how to attack devilish zone de-

A blood moon ‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ (Acts 2: 18b-21 NRSV)

There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. (Albert Einstein) The Scripture text quoted above is Peter’s speech on the Day of Pentecost. He quotes the Old Testament prophet Joel with words that are both hopeful and fearsome. The moon’s turning to blood came to my mind because by the time you read this, you may have seen such a phenomenon.

A total lunar eclipse will have occurred in the wee hours of April 14, and Mars will be closer to the Earth than it has been since 2008. There is no danger in such an occurrence; these things have been happening for eons, but they are definitely not an everyday event. It is true that in a lunar

Cross Currents

eclipse, the moon does turn red. The so-called resulting “blood moon” is a function of a double refraction of the sunlight, during the time the moon is in the Earth’s shadow. The sun’s light is refracted when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere and again when it leaves the Earth’s atmosphere on its way to the moon. (This double refraction is the same reason the sky looks blue during the day.) We consider these events almost as entertainment today – wonders to behold because of their rarity. However, in a less scientific day, such phenomena were signs and portents, considered to have meaning for humankind: warnings and

Come to the water “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives Fr. Steve Pawelk and believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26)

I wonder if some people do not believe because on earth too many people are harsh, judgmental and hold grudges. Maybe too many people seek revenge. On the other side, the deeper the sin, the more grave the consequences, the more likely some might believe that forgiveness is possible for everyone but them.

Imagine life everlasting. You never have to die. What does one have to do the gain this prize? Run a marathon? Climb Mt. Everest? Do the chicken dance? NO!!!

Yet, the love of Jesus is so deep, that He did all the hard work for us. He bore the weight of the world on his shoulders and let them bleed out of his hands, feet and side. He stretched out his arms to gather each of us into His Father’s house. On the cross he said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” (LK 23:34) At his first appearance after the resurrection, he says to the guys who ran away, “Peace be with you.” (John 20:19) He really, really, loves you and wants you to live forever. Please, believe.

All you have to do is believe. Believe that Jesus loves you. Believe that Jesus died for you. Believe that you are forgiven. Believe that Jesus rose conquering death. Believe that Jesus is God, our Savior and our Lord. If it is this easy, why do so many people not take the leap into the Christian faith? Maybe it is because it is easy. There is a great story of a soldier who had leprosy. He visits the prophet Elisha who tells him to go wash in the river Jordan. He says, ‘Are there not rivers in my own land? Why do that?’ Yet, with the encouragement of a slave girl he does it. The result is that he is cured!!! (2 Kings 5:1-18) Easy works.

fenses and whether to yell at blundering officials or just sit there and take it. In old age, I have acquired empathy for young people in knee pants, standing at the foul line with the season hanging in the balance, the weight of their coach’s job on their shoulders, a tick or three on the clock, one to tie, two to win. Delightful employment and many blessings allowed me to listen to and even question some of the all-time great coaches, Pat Summitt, Adolph Rupp, John Wooden, Dean Smith, Al Maguire, Coach K, even Bobby Knight – a couple of times more than I wanted. What I thought was a rich background did not prepare

threats, or affirmations of a proposed action. Joel had spoken his prophecy approximately 400 years before Christ, but Peter took up the banner and recited Joel’s words as the inauguration of a new era. The winds of the Spirit had swept through the little band of believers, and set them aflame with the Good News. The fear and the uncertainty of the time between Jesus’ crucifixion and the resurrection were no more. No mere lunar eclipse could scare Jesus’ disciples now. Those same men who had cowered behind closed doors following the Crucifi xion were on fire and ready to tell a waiting world. This story makes me ask what it would take to get our attention, to set our churches ablaze with wonder and urgency, to be so filled with the Good News that our joy overflows onto everyone we meet. Have we forgotten the

me for this absolutely crazy Tennessee season past. I cannot explain how a talented team can be so good some games and bad for others. Two or three times I thought the Volunteers could have given greater effort. Ongoing indecision at point guard was puzzling. There was the obvious question about tempo. The coach visualized one speed. Some players wanted to go faster. I was stunned by the segment of the season when those with the ball could not or would not throw it to Jarnell Stokes. The last time when he got it, I was surprised. Michigan wasn’t. Tennessee fans choose how to behave but the February myth of bringing back Bruce Pearl made Cuonzo Martin’s job more difficult. Never saw anything like that.

It was a pleasant development that the team countered with its best punch. It could have quit. As if the soap-opera season did not have enough quirky twists and turns, there was the phone call. Many felt certain Cuonzo was gone to Marquette, more money, less hassle and a better fit for a Midwestern staff. Some said go Zo. Some repented for past criticisms. As soon as the coach said he still loves Tennessee, some resumed worrying about his recruiting tendencies. The other elephant remaining in the room is Stokes. Will he stay or go? Never has basketball, supposedly a simple game, been so confusing. Marvin West welcomes reader response. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Good News? Have we grown If that is the case, what complacent? Bored? Satis- will it take to get our attenfied? Distracted? tion? A blood moon?

4-H goes to Congress By Meredith Key The 67th annual Tennessee 4-H Congress was an exciting trip I will never forget. The delegates from Union County were: Meredith Key, Dakota Sherritze, Bethany Long and Tiffany Headrick. Martin Dickey and Bethany Long attended as public speaking winners. I want to express my appreciation to all the sponsors who helped make this trip possible for all of us. Tennessee 4-H Congress is a fun, educational, hands-on learning experience in which over 300 ninth and tenth grades 4-Hers participate. Delegates from each county across Tennessee met at our State Capitol in Nashville to learn about our great state and its government. We were divided into two

groups: Senators and Representatives. As a Senator, I sat in a Senator’s booth and learned how to debate the bills that were proposed and then voted on them. I was able to meet with Rep. Dennis Powers who discussed with our group the bills that were being voted on last week. New this year was a class activity: “Discovering Tennessee History” directed by the Tennessee State Museum. On our team, I learned about slavery in our state during the Civil War and what it cost to send a slave to jail. Our state was the last to secede the Union and the first to re-join. Elections! The excitement was contagious! The candidates did an awesome job presenting their speeches for 4-H offices. As dele-

gates, we learned hands-on the voting process and how to use the voting machine. Our entertainment was Shannon Perrin, UT Ex- Hughes and Ashley Padgett, could celebrate her upcomamazing! It comes as no surprise to me that we have tension agent, was tricked to stay in the office so 30 or ing wedding. such amazingly talented by her co-workers, Becca so of Perrin’s biggest fans young people in our home state. Hats off to all the actors, singers, dancers and musicians! Tennessee 4-H Congress is a great way to learn about our great state’s history and see for ourselves how our state government works for us. I believe this experience has helped me understand more about why our government is so important. Thank you again to those sponsored the Union County delegates this year. Meredith Key was a Union County delegate from the Smoky Mountain Home School 4H Club.

The Sons of Justice Motorcycle Club stood at the Hickory Star/Hwy. 33 intersection on Saturday morning to raise awareness and funds for the Union County Children’s Center. The group asked stopped motorists for donations, with law enforcement’s help for safety, and

very visible signs donated by Sandy’s Custom Auto of Jacksboro. Says Jeanne Collins, COO of the center and victim advocate, “April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and this roadblock is done to help the public realize the magnitude of the effects of child abuse in our community. “Union County Children’s

4-H now registering kids for summer camp Registration is underway for Tennessee 4-H camps in Columbia, Crossville and Greeneville. Extension agents in every county have details. Membership in 4-H is not required. 4-H is the youth development program for UT Extension. The recruitment campaign includes a new promotional video highlighting the fun of camp – as seen through the eyes of a camper. It’s hosted by Rhea County 4-H member Katie Harris, a sixth grader from Dayton who spent a week at the Clyde Austin 4-H Center in Greeneville last year. Katie introduces segments about camp life, laughs and goofs off during the eight minute video – which also includes sound bites from 17 other kids from across the state who went to camp last summer.

“I’ve been to 4-H camp, and it’s amazing,” Katie says. “I want other kids to go and have that kind of fun. I thought this video would be a fun experience – and it was! – and also a great way to encourage other kids across the state to go to camp.” Chuck Denney with UT Institute of Agriculture Marketing and Communications Services, produced the video and “discovered” Katie when he was interviewing campers. He brought Katie and her parents to the UT agricultural campus in Knoxville to shoot additional segments and have her record audio. “When I first met Katie, I was impressed with her personality and enthusiasm. About halfway back on the drive from Greeneville to Knoxville, it occurred to me – she’s your narrator. Katie is a natural, and other kids will really relate to her,” Denney said.

Center provides services to victims of severe abuse and neglect at no cost to the victim and their non-offending caregivers. We offer services that include but are not limited to: Forensic interviews, trauma-focused cognitive based therapy, victim advocacy, court advocacy, case management and forensic medical exams.

“The Sons of Justice made this happen, and I want to thank everyone in the county for their continued support of the Children’s Center,” says Collins. The center is a non-profit agency that operates solely on grants and donations. Info: 865-992-7677; jeanne-uccac@att.net/.

To see for yourself how much fun 4-H camp can be, search online for the YouTube video “Fun, Friends, 4-H: Summer Starts Here.” Any child in the fourth through the eighth grade is eligible, and you don’t have to be a 4-H member to attend. Kids can take part in activities from arts and crafts to zip-lining. Each camp also has its own pool and dormitories, as well as nature centers, hiking trails and sports fields. “They get an opportunity to do archery, rifle, canoeing, swimming – some things they don’t get to do at home in the summertime,” said Scottie Fillers, camp director at the Clyde York Center in Crossville. “It’s all really hands-on, and we focus on getting them moving.” Info: http://4h.tennessee. edu/.

Open to the public, everyone is invited. Lunch will be provided. Pre-register at clowden@comcast.net or 865-463-8541. Bring friends and youth to learn the gentle art of beekeeping. Sponsored by Anderson County Beekeepers Association.

Amazing haul from trash pick-up

UC Humane Society

prepping for April 26 dinner clude a cabin rental, an underground fence, a mountain bike and several items of fine art. The theme of the event is “Rescues to the Rescue,” and special guests are Freddie Brasfield of K9SOS, who is also slated to speak, Donna Silvey with her therapy dog Boudreaux, and Officer Phillip King with his K-9 officer Marco.

By Libby Morgan Jim Tedford, director of animal welfare initiatives at PetSafe, visited the Union County Humane Society in preparation for his short speech at the shelter’s annual fundraising dinner on April 26 at Union County High School. Organizers for the event have been gathering silent auction items, which in-

More than 100 volunteers picked up over 10 tons of trash March 22 from Norris Lake’s shorelines in Anderson, Campbell, Claiborne, Grainger and Union counties. “Collectively, we picked up 460 bags of trash that weighed an average of 40 pounds,” said Julie Graham with the Union County Chamber of Commerce. “The majority of what we pick up are cans and bottles but we also properly disposed of over 100 tires, foam blocks, two televisions, a refrigerator door, a commode, a water heater, grills, chairs, patio chairs, tents and other camping gear and the most unique item this year was a sleeper sofa.” This was the third year that volunteers from the three counties surrounding Norris Lake, have come together for the cleanup effort. “Last year, we picked up over 15 tons of trash so

we have seen a decline in the amount of trash on the shoreline and islands, but we have many problem areas where there is a reoccurring dumping year after year,” said Graham. The event is organized through a partnership between the Anderson County Tourism Council, Campbell County Chamber of Commerce, Claiborne County Chamber of Commerce, Grainger County Chamber of Commerce, Leave No Trace, Norris Lake Marina Association, Plan East Tennessee, Tennessee Valley Authority, Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency, Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and Union County Chamber of Commerce. The partnership has been working on other environmental and safety issues concerning Norris Lake since 2012. To increase public aware-

ness, volunteers created a display to be placed in Norris Dam State Park with some inter pretive messages de sc r ibi ng the length of time it will take for some items to decay and information Julie Graham on encouraging litter control. The partnership volunteers are also displaying posters throughout all five counties and at the marinas on Norris Lake promoting the cleanups and encouraging lake users to properly dispose of their trash. The partnership purchased 27 signs and posted them at public launches on Norris Lake. The signs have phone numbers that people can call to report illegal dumping. “Norris Lake consists of

800 miles of shoreline; we can’t monitor it all,” said Wells. “We think that the signs will encourage people who are boating on Norris to report the illegal dumping that they see.” The group has partnered with the Norris Lake Coast Guard Auxiliary to hand out information packets including a trash bag to boaters they encounter on the lake. “Norris Lake is considered the cleanest lake in the TVA system, even with the dumping and trash issues” said E.L. Morton, director of Campbell County Chamber of Commerce. “We want to do everything that we can to keep it the cleanest lake but we need help from the residents and the visitors.” If you can help with the cleanup efforts or the continuing public awareness campaign, visit www. lakenorris.org, call toll free to 800-524-3602 or email info@yallcome.org.

Going out to serve By Ruth White

Christians are called to go out and serve others. Members of Fellowship North take that calling seriously. On every fifth Sunday, the group meets at their worship center on Tazewell Pike for a brief prayer service before heading out into the community to serve others. On this particular Sunday, several church members were at Whittle Springs Middle School where they helped out in the parent center. Members created posters of encouragement to hang on the walls, wrote

chalk messages on the side sidewalks for students to see the next morning and helped coordinator Florence N’Diaye with tasks to help the center run smoothly. N’Diaye said that the center is designed to help children become more successful in school by working with their parents during these important years. “Parents play an important role in the intellectual, social and emotional growth of their children.” The center has a wish list, and anyone interested in helping out can contact

N’Diaye with items. items Needed items include office supplies (loose-leaf paper, pens, index cards, notebooks), children’s toys, gift cards (gas cards, grocery store, restaurants), hand sanitizer, laptop computers, bookcases, mini supply baskets, thankyou cards, mini refrigerator, family games and calculators. Info: 594-4474, ext. 169 or email florence.ndiaye@knoxschools.org. Another group was at Fountain City Park to clean up and install French drains on the playground. According to Fountain City Lions

The group also repainted the signs for the park, cleared away trash and painted trash cans for a fresh look. Fellowship North meets at 10 a.m. every Sunday at 3203 Tazewell Pike. Pastor is Michael Thomas. Info: www. north.fellowshipknox.org.

Ryan Fenyves digs a hole for the French drains to be installed on the playground at Fountain City Park.

Chiro and Sochi Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC The finely-tuned athletes of the U.S. Olympic team seek every advantage in competition. That’s why part of the medical staff that accompanied them to the winter games in Sochi was a team of chiropractors. In fact, the managing director of Sports Medicine for the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) is William Moreau, DC, DACBSB, a 1981 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic. The USOC Sports Medicine staff is comprised of chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, physicians

and athletic trainers. They provide multi-disciplinary approaches to preventing, evaluating, managing, treating and rehabilitating athletic injuries and illnesses. Olympic athletes, Moreau noted, are “the hardest working, hardest-training and most amazing people I’ve ever treated.” He compared them to “BMW racing machines” in the sense that their bodies are so finely tuned that small adjustments produce notable change in performance. When the sports medicine

staff is not at the Olympics, they’re working at the three Olympic training centers in Colorado, California and New York. World-class athletes, coaches and trainers recognize the value of chiropractic treatment in maximizing performance. Schedule an appointment with a chiropractor to find out what treatment might be able to do for you.
