Baggin’ it PDQ By Libby Morga Morgan an It was touch and go with a tiebreaker ending at the speed-bagging contest in the Maynardville Food City last Saturday morning. Five competitors were tasked with grabbing and bagging a couple dozen random grocery items into three plastic bags. Strategy, speed and style were judged on a point system by assistant manager Mike Keimig, Bethany Winstead of the in-store ORNL Credit Union and store employee Sheila Bush. Food City customer service coordinator Krista Foust was head referee. The filled bags were inspected for proper bag building technique, which includes placement of heavy and light items, breakable items and crushables, and whether glass things were separated by other items. One out of 30 points was deducted for each item still on the counter. Five points went for “style, attitude and appearance,” and Foust chided the contestants before the start about name tags and shirttucking. The judges were instructed to note composure and self-confidence – which wasn’t a problem with any of these competitive fellows. The first round eliminated Dillon Anderson, Kevin Bowling and Ryan

Technique and speed were key, as Ayers demonstrated, but he knows he’s going to have to practice if he’s to move up to the state competition in Nashville and on to Las Ve-
gas with a chance to win a $2,000 scholarship. “There’s a lot more to it at the regional competition (in Knoxville later this month), so I’ve got work to do,” says Ayers. The in-store competition gave the contestants a pass on the “distribution of weight between bags” cat-

The students and their teachers, Linda Baxter, John Fugate and Matt McGinnis, have been working on growing, repotting and tending to thousands of vegetables and flowers for the sale season, from now until they sell out. There are also potted plants, hanging baskets, herbs, potting mix, houseplants, and a few fruit trees. “We’ve been working on everything from how to answer the phone to counting money,” says Baxter. “Our students do it all from seed to customer service.”
Sometimes there is no way to win. Jimmy Cheek, chancellor of the University of Tennessee, might not win a popularity vote from football fans. Read Marvin West on page 5

TVA exec shares info gathering techniques By Libby Morgan Every time you make a purchase, every possible bit of obtainable data about your transaction is captured and used by data scientists. It is called “customer analytics.” Add to this what they call “psychographics,” which is used to analyze the habits of households, explains Melissa Halsell, Retail Development Program manager with TVA’s Economic Development, speaking to Union County Chamber of Commerce members. Your lifestyle is categorized by Experian’s (a company that analyzes data and creates credit scores) “Mosaic Profiles,” and somehow your household is assigned one of 71 segment names. You could be in Group N as “True Grit Americans,” “Countrified Pragmatics,” “Gospel and Grits” or “Work Hard, Pray Hard.” Or you could be in Group G as “Status Seeking Singles” or “Urban Edge.” Or the Group A segment we’d all like to be in, “American Royalty.” Personally, I’m disappointed there’s no Group W. Halsell ran an example of data centered just north of Maynardville at the intersection of Hwy. 33 and Hwy. 61, and found the largest Mosaic group life-

Melissa Halsell with TVA speaks to the Union County Chamber of Commerce about analyzing data for business. Photo by Libby Morgan style segment in the area is “Pastoral Pride,” described as “eclectic mix of lower middle-class widowed and divorced individuals and couples who have settled in country and small town areas.” Key traits assigned to this segment include facts like 80 percent own homes, they enjoy the outdoors, and even though they are tech-shy, they expect to increase their Internet usage, among a ton of other traits. “Analytics is a booming field,” says Halsell, “Businesses use this data to make decisions about where to open a store, how big it needs to be (“rightsizing”), what products to
feature, and on and on.” For instance, Walmart knows which products to place near the front of its stores in Mississippi, as opposed to which ones to put up front in its Massachusetts locations, through results of “consumer propensity” reports. When making recommendations to the Union County group, Hallsell said, “Keep your ears to the ground and work together. If you hear that a business is making inquiries about land, go to a community leader like Julie (Chamber president Julie Graham) and spread the word. “She may have more information about that very thing, and the community
can work together to succeed.” When Halsell was asked whether data might show what types of entrepreneurial businesses would be successful in an area, she said the data can tell us where the “retail leakage” exists, that is, money that is leaving the community because of services and products unavailable there. ■ The Chamber board voted to print more Union County tourism brochures to place in Tennessee welcome centers and discussed placing directional signs to Maynardville from Big Ridge State Park to help visitors and their vacation money flow to more

UCHS students at state contest; Graves qualifies for nationals Jacqueline Graves won a gold medal at state competition of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) and is eligible to compete at nationals in July.
Patriot Several students from Union County High School competed at the state conference April 2-4 in Nashville. They stayed at the Opryland Hotel. Haley Soeder, who
teaches Family and Consumer Science at Union County High School, said this is the first time FCCLA has competed at the state level during her leadership and she is “very proud of all of these students.” Graves won in the recycle and redesign event. She took old, broken crayons and made new, bigger crayons to help young children develop fine motor skills. Cole Durbin claimed a first place medal in reciting the FCCLA Creed. Cole competed against 15 other schools and represented Union County to its highest honors, Soeder said.
Vanessa Smith, Chenoa Gallagher and Hayley Britt earned second place in illustrated talk. They memorized and effortlessly recited a 10 minute speech evaluating the pressures teens face in every day.
Cole Durbin claimed a first place medal in reciting the FCCLA Creed.
Brooke Nicley and Alanna Phillips took second place in focus on children. They discussed childhood obesity and encouraged girls to start healthy habits at a young age.
Jacqueline Graves took first place in recycle and redesign. Angela Workman and Kayla Nicley took third place in life event planning. After watching the Prom Fashion Show for three years, this year they planned the event which enabled young men to get tuxedos at a discounted rate from Savvi Formalwear and young women to sell and buy gently used prom dresses.
Hannah Jones and Chasity Kitts won third place in hospitality, tourism and recreation. They created a travel agency called Trippin’ Teachers to enable teachers to enjoy an affordable vacation and get the most out of their time off.

Preparing for Home remedies Healthy Kid Day People who care about kids are planning a big event for Saturday, June 1, at the Maynardville Public Library. An email went out last week from Lanelle Mulkey outlining the group’s goals. This is not an official release, and the moral of this story is never put a reporter on your email chain! Lanelle’s list contains “some of the things we are hoping to see there.” So far, she says, here’s what’s on board: ■ Maynardville Library will be kicking off its summer reading program. ■ UT Extension ■ 4-H ■ Health Department ■ Fingerprint/ Photos for kids ■ Food Demonstrations ■ Union County Farmers Market The purpose of the day is to encourage families to make healthy lifestyle choices, targeting pre-natal through 12 year olds, according to Rebecca Hughes, a UT Extension agent based in Union County. “Fun and educational booths and activites to encourage this will help families stay involved and active during the summer,” she said. So organizers are looking for: Health Care providers (each with a booth and an activity): all local doctors and dentists as well as Children’s Hospital, Volulnteer State Health Plan, Tennova, HOSA, etc. Youth Sports: ball teams, North Side YMCA has summer swim teams that would love more Union County kids!
“Build it and they will come” is the saying attached to the building of Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, the wonderful medical facility that is known as the best of the best.
Sandra Clark Bonnie Peters ChildCare providers: TreeHouse, Classy Kids, Cherokee afterschool program, etc. Youth Activities: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Y, 4-H (all have summer camps, all could provide activities), church Vacation Bible Schools, library (4-H could have a large program display area with lots of project work). Family Activities: Big Ridge State Park, marinas (Hickory Star and Beach Island), Y, Knoxville Zoo, Ijams Nature Center ... once again, these could provide hands on at a booth and/or do a special program. Nutrition: promotion of fresh foods – Farmers Market info, gardening and growing your own info. Would love to see one cooking demo per hour! Service Providers: Humane Society, Firefighters (library is right outside fire hall), police (car seat safety, also do an excellent search and rescue demo with their dog), Keep Union County Beautiful. Continuous flow of activities/games besides booths! Raffle (zoo tickets, Smokies baseball, etc.) Anyone who can help should call Rebecca Hughes at 992-8038 or rlhughes@ utk.edu. Other contacts are Beth Bergeron and Chantay Collins.
This same slogan is fitting for the Herbs and Home Remedies Group. In March of this year, Maynardville Library director Chantay Collins had the idea to offer local folks a place to meet to discuss and share herbs and home remedies the members found helpful. She thought if she did that they would come. I met with the group on April 6 and come they did! The first meeting of the Herbs and Home Remedies Group had six participants. At the April meeting there were 15 at the table.
Recipes were shared, along with a sheet of uses of different herbs. I came away with sprigs of rosemary that I hope to root. This herb is good in many recipes, and it also makes the most beautiful greenery for floral arrangements. Another member brought everyone a soothing bath sachet favor to take home. She had taken a piece of cloth about the size of a man’s handkerchief and placed about a half cup of dried lemon balm and thyme in the center, pulled the corners together and tied it. It is a reusable bath sachet. Attendees were Chantay Collins, Rebekah Griffin, Abby McCarty, Brenda Coburn, Jeanie Long, Tamara Bernadot, Sarah Morgan, Abigail Kadron, Brandy Wallen, Diana Willis, Darian Denman, Mitzie Perry, Cathy Hocutt and Faye Hardin of Hardin’s Mountain Organics. Both Hardin and Diana Willis, who operates Blooms-n-Bees Lavender and Honey Farm at Speedwell, gave us all a card and
invited everyone to come for a visit. The next meeting is 11 a.m. Saturday, May 4, at Maynardville Library. Everyone is welcome. If you have an herb, seeds
or a homemade cream or salve to sample or a recipe to share, bring these along. Info: Chantay Collins at Maynardville Library or go to Facebook - Maynardville Public Library.
Empower, engage, enrich By Sandra Clark Nationally known speaker Tim Richardson visited the Fountain City Business and Professional Association last week to try out some new material. Local attorney Anne McKinney introduced him, calling him “warm, giving and exciting.” Richardson said he learned a lot by “working for the worst manager on earth” because “we learn more when we see things done wrong.” Empowerment: Good
managers state the end result and free up their people to get there their way. “Don’t squelch motivation.” Engagement: Many people refuse to change with the times, he said. “We manage like the 1970s. We must throw away outdated concepts (just as we discard outdated equipment).” He challenged attendees: “What do I need to let go of to better lead my people?” Enrichment: Richardson gave six tips: Read six books a year to improve your work skills; read six more that have nothing to do with work. Listen to six audio tapes
each year. Attend six personal improvement seminars, in person or online. Exercise six days each week, preferably first thing, and “you’ll be younger next year.” Take six vacations each year to refresh; a 1-week vacation and five shorter ones built around weekends. Turn off that cellphone. Look for six ways to improve yourself. Ask your co-workers and family. Have a plan and write it down. The BPA meets monthly at Central Baptist Fountain City and is open to all.

Chancellor awards, Vandy coach, other tidbits
Sometimes there is no way to win. Jimmy Cheek, chancellor of the University of Tennessee, might not win a popularity vote from football fans. Innocent though he may be, Jimmy is perceived as part of the problem. His goal of academic excellence, making UT one of the top research schools in the country, is thought to be a stumbling block, even a blockade to football success. One of my favorite fans has made a study of Dr. Cheek. That he consorted with Florida Gators for 34 years is apparently a serious offense. That he had trouble deciding whether Bruce Pearl was right or wrong was waffling at its worst.
Marvin West
That he was slow to stop milking the athletic department for funds indicated a lack of understanding. Cheek got his latest X as host for the awards banquet recognizing outstanding achievement. Nineteen athletes were honored for awesome academics. They represented basketball, softball, tennis, golf, swimming, track, volleyball, even rowing. Alas, Dr. Cheek searched everywhere, high and low,

ing crippled, or fearful or broken. Whatever one calls it, sometimes it is true. We allow ourselves to freeze to death in front of a roaring fire. We are unable – for whatever reason – to believe that someone (or Someone!) has loved us, loves us now and will love us in the future. Forever, steadfastly, extravagantly. The alternative, of course, is to do that which we are so fearful of doing: taking a chance. Permit love to sneak up on us, to take us by surprise and to give ourselves over to it wholeheartedly. The same can be said for a life in Christ. We can run from him, or hold him at arm’s length
or actively push him away. But if we are willing to be in relationship with Christ, we can come to know peace and joy. We can learn fulfillment and usefulness. We can figure out what it means to trust, to grow, to give, to love. That means, of course, that we will have to allow ourselves to be brought “in from the cold.” There is risk involved, and uncertainty, to be sure. But love is a fire that will warm and protect and heal, a gift that will nurture and encourage and tend. Love is a hand that we fall into, and a home that will abide.

*** Tennessee and Alabama conducted football coaching clinics on the same weekend. We had trouble counting but the Vols attracted somewhere between 500 and 1,000 high school coaches. The Tide drew maybe 1,600. Tennessee offered Peyton Manning as star attraction. Alabama also had an NFL look, Sean Payton, Dick Vermeil, Chuck Pagano and Herm Edwards. Butch Jones was prominent at the UT clinic. Some guy named Saban spoke in Tuscaloosa. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Union Baptist celebrates centennial By Cindy Taylor
Nicholas Steinke, 4, throws the last shovel of dirt over the time capsule.
Union Baptist Church has called a hilltop off Old Maynardville Pike home for the past 100 years. The church celebrated its centennial at a special meeting April 5. Pastor Gary Vandergriff led the service. “It was 100 years ago today that Union Baptist Church was organized,” said Vandergriff. “We are here to celebrate a century of God’s faithfulness and grace in the life and ministry of our church.” Vandergriff cited Psalm 115:1, a verse that gives all glory to God. Choir leader Berney Hill opened the service with the hymn “Brethren we have Met to Worship.” Vandergriff read a brief church history that included 28 former pastors and 19 charter members. Johnny Jones served as pastor in 1960-1961 and was Vandergriff’s mentor. Vandergriff is the longest-serving church pastor (34 years).
Debbie Rose chairs the Centennial Committee. “I learned from my dad that my great-great-aunt Ida Wright was one of the founding members of the church,” said Rose. “That makes this year even more special for me.” Rose said the church will hold special services, revivals, road trips, “the best VBS ever,” an old-timers day, cookouts and special events for youth during the coming year. The celebration will culminate with homecoming Sunday, Oct. 6, followed by Courtney Powell, 12, the youngest church member; pastor Gary Vandergriff; Francis Carroll, the the 10th annual church Fall longest member on the roll; and Christine Fielden, 90, the oldest member present; prepare to Festival on Saturday, Oct. 12. bury the time capsule. Edna Smith, 96, the church’s oldest member, was unable to attend. The centennial service concluded with prayer as members gathered outside under the setting sun. A time capsule containing a CD, photographs and historical documents was buried on the church grounds. The youngest member, the oldest member present and the longest member on the church roll, along with the oldest and youngest deacons, helped bury the time capsule. “As important as it is to look back on what God has done in our past, it is also important to look ahead to the future,” said Vandergriff. “We know that if the people of Union will continue to be faithful there is a future of hope, usefulness and blessing.” The time capsule is scheduled to be opened in April Youngest deacons Harvey Wright and Kenny Hall and oldest deacons Hillard Rutherford and Bob Mynatt lower the time capsule.

Lawson has built homes for birds for 30 years, learning new methods along the way. He builds houses for bats, big and little birds, and has developed a house for bluebirds that confounds sparrows. “When you’re trying to attract bluebirds to nest in a birdhouse, the sparrows can beat the bluebirds to it, because they like the same setup. I saw a different kind of birdhouse in a magazine with an entry that is underneath. The sparrows can’t find the hole,” says Lawson.

‘Shoot to Win’ nets $500 By Libby Morgan During each Patriots’ home game halftime, New South Credit Union holds a contest for shooting a basket. Anyone can enter, and one contestant is chosen for each game. The contestant can choose to shoot a layup for a $25 prize, from the foul line for $50, or from half court for $500. The credit union then matches
the prizes at the end of the season as a donation to the Union County High School athletic program. “One year we paid out for two half court shots in one season,” says Tammy Hobock, branch manager in Maynardville. “That was expensive for us, but a nice boost for the school.” This year, the season’s payouts were less than the minimum the credit union
had set, and Hobock presented a check to UCHS athletic director Shane Brown for $500. “The money goes into the general fund for our athletic department. It’s a great ‘shot in the arm’ for our students,” said Brown. During the football season, the contest is called “Kick to Win,” and is done from the 10-, 20-, and 30yard lines.

needs. The tobacco barn was added sometime in the 1960s. The farmhouse was replaced with what is now the Bishop’s building. The 100 acre property on Gilbert Road was purchased for the school in 2000. Secor recalls having a series of parties that year to sponsor the school. In its early years, the 4-H school had a chicken and pig program.

The idea of adding the quilt squares came from Debbie Martin, treasurer of the Parents Association. She thought it would be a fun project for the students. She presented the idea to Hoffman. He agreed after mulling it over. The project was funded by the Parent’s Association. Hoffman involved his three 7th grade classes. He decided to have three separate quilts made by each class. Each class, comprised of 16 students, researched many patterns and selected several of their favorites. Hoffman picked the top three. He wanted students to come up with their own designs; choose the patterns within the main pattern, the colors and the amount

Dishin’ dirt By Libby Morgan Appropriate for the season, there were plants and dirt on the table at the Luttrell Senior Center when Dr. Sue Hamilton, horticultural expert, spoke to the group. A terrarium enthusiast, Hamilton gave an in-depth class on making and maintaining the stylish miniature glass gardens. “Terrariums were developed by a 19th-century London physician, Dr. N. B. Ward, and were first known as ‘Wardian cases’ – large, enclosed containers for growing and transporting delicate plants. That’s how people were able to keep plants alive for long trips on ships, and take the plants that were
important for trade, such as valuable spice plants, and other plants for food, across the oceans,” she said. “The terrariums most often used today are small ornamental versions of the Wardian case.”
■ A biscuit and gravy breakfast will be held at the Maynardville Senior Center on Monday, April 22, from 7 - 9:30 a.m. ■ Thanks: Luttrell Senior Center coordinator Linda Damewood thanks everyone who helped with the Easter egg hunt last month.
As Hamilton spoke, she built an attractive globeshaped terrarium with small plants and decorative pebbles. As director of the UT Gardens, she is the chief faculty member managing the department’s undergraduate and graduate programs in public horticulture, and co-authored “Best Garden Plants of Tennessee,” which is packed with full-color photos and expert advice on what to choose to grow here. She specializes in herbaceous ornamental plants and peopleplant relationships.

Acupuncture Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Like chiropractic, acupuncture is a non-invasive, non-drug therapy that can be helpful to patients in many circumstances. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese form of medicine that involves the insertion of needles at very precise points on the body to encourage energy flow and healing. The needles – as many as a dozen may be inserted – may be stimulated with either electricity or heat to achieve the desired result. Many chiropractors also practice acupuncture, and there are national organizations that oversee testing for a license to practice chiropractic acupuncture. As the use of acupuncture has become more common in the U.S. over the last few decades, researchers have been measuring its benefits in treating low-back pain, headaches and osteoarthritis of the knee. For some conditions, acupuncture may be effective as the sole treatment. In other cases, it may be an effective complement to chiropractic treatment. As with any health care provider, an acupuncturist at your first visit will ask for a full rundown of your medical history, including any medications you are taking. A typical visit will last about 30 minutes. On your next regular visit to your chiropractor, ask about acupuncture and about whether it might benefit you.

Getting away from the retail store hasn’t just given Corey time to create; she now has time to get involved in several organizations. She is a member of East Tennessee Leather Guild, the Arts & Culture Alliance, A-1 Lab Arts and Foothills Craft Guild. A few of her pieces can
