Kayla Brummitte Newcomb is an inspiration to every senior who will graduate from Union County High School this month. The Plainview native has returned home to head the Prodigal Primary Care Center in Maynardville, where the grand opening is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday, May 23, at 598 John Deere Drive. Newcomb, one of seven valedictorians of her UCHS graduating class of 2002, was a straight A student in high school, and credits the influence of teachers Sherry Collins and Brian Shoffner for encouraging and motivating her to “go for it” after high school. “My pediatrician, Dr. Monica Black, was my inspiration for getting into the medical field,” says Newcomb. She started her higher education at LMU, received her bachelor’s at ETSU, and continued on to Austin Peay to become a nurse practitioner. Along the way, she gained work experience at several hospitals. In 2011, she got her NP license, married David Newcomb, a cardiovascular invasive specialist, and began working for Prodigal Primary Care in Knoxville. The couple welcomed a baby boy, Garrett, a few weeks ago. David Brickhouse, physician assistant and owner of the Prodigal clinics, says of Newcomb, “Kayla really wants to help people, and she is highly motivated to serve the people of Union County. She’s one of thos e good medical professionals who takes the time
By Sandra Clark The American Legion Post asked the high school to select two young men, rising seniors, to attend Boys State this summer. “We’ve got money for two and maybe can stretch to cover three,” said the organizer.
So guidance counselor Jennifer DeFoe recruited students who “might benefit from the program.” She encouraged them to apply and coached them with the applications. Five boys just stood out, she said, and when the American Legion and

Graham attends Artspace meeting Chamber president Julie Graham attended an informational meeting about the nationwide program “Artspace” last week. The organization, started in 1979, began with advocating for cooperative efforts to provide low-cost living arrangements with studio space for artists, and has evolved over the years to become an actual developer for these types of projects. The nonprofit Artspace acquires property through private and public funding, mostly under-utilized and vacant buildings, and, with community input, creates work/live spaces, getting the property back on tax rolls and boosting property values. Graham’s ongoing quest

U i County Union C Chamber of Commerce
The old jailhouse in Maynardville is getting a new lease on life thanks to new owner and Union County Chamber of Commerce member Denny Patterson. Eligible for historic status, the 1954 building’s original exterior of brick and sandstone will be restored. The roof has been totally replaced with rubberized roofing to standards acceptable to guidelines set by Knox Heritage, a Knoxvillebased agency dedicated to preserving historic structures. “I needed to keep the roof from being visible, so we fi xed the water infiltration problem by rebuilding and overlaying with rubber roof material and installing flashing correctly, instead of building a sloped roof,” Patterson said. “And no, those shutters won’t be put back,” he said, referring to the residentialtype shutters that were there previously. The interior of solid concrete and cement block poses a challenge for Patterson, but with the right cutting and drilling equipment, he is getting the wiring run and pipes cut through, and he will install drywall for a more attractive interior. Access from the front and the back will lead to separate spaces for tenants, and he expects most will be offices. A common area inside the front door will act as a reception area or waiting room. Patterson says he does not have any definite contracts from tenants at this time.

Brickhouse sees his own patients at his clinics, and says he makes his schedule so he can cover appointments and check on each location frequently. Newcomb said, “I love being here. I’m close to home. I go to church here. I have good friends and my family here. I love this community, and I am a believer in a primary care clinic such as Prodigal, where we can provide so many health services right here at home.” Services include physicals, treatment for acute

and chronic illnesses, disease management, women’s health and any “family doctor”-type treatment. Lab tests, X-rays and EKGs are performed in-house. Newcomb is qualified to refer directly to specialists, and will be doing as many in-office procedures as possible. She and her staff work under the supervision of physician Kathy Franklin, M.D., who has worked in the East Tennessee area for the last 20 years. Newcomb is passionate and experienced about new treatments for patients with Hepatitis C, and says it is curable now. “Hep C patients are all too common nowadays. If I see 25 people on a normal day, I consistently find that five or more are Hep C pa-
tients. The good thing is, Hep C is now a treatable condition,” says Newcomb. “Just like everywhere, there’s a big need for affordable health care here, and we have a great plan for anyone who is uninsured or has a high deductible. We offer a Medical Membership Plan where our patients can pay a monthly fee of a maximum
of $45 per person and a $10 fee per visit. We feel this is one way we can give back to our communities by offering quality medical care at a reduced rate, so everyone will be able to afford the health care they need and deserve.” Most insurance plans are accepted at Prodigal Primary Care. “I’ll be at the Healthy Kids booth at the June 1st Art on Main festival,

Marvin West: There’s only one (and he’s alive) Last week a bunch of guys, many of them hired by Marvin West when he was sports editor, then managing editor at the News Sentinel, declared him dead.
Sandra Clark
Cue the bad jokes when it was discovered about 15 minutes after the KNS web-posting that the Marvin West we know is alive. Yes, he was sitting on his porch in Union County, watching the fish jump. It took the Sentinel half a day to retract its error, and then no individual took responsibility. Unnamed “staff reports” simply said the funeral home had provided incorrect information. West professionally filed his usual column for Shopper News, ignoring the swirling controversy. He did note via email that it’s disconcerting to have kind words taken back when people find out you’re not dead. I told him Jake Mabe was very upset upon hearing of his demise, while I just set about finding a replacement for the hole on Page A5. “Thanks for caring,” Marvin wrote back. Former co-worker Amy McRary wrote online that she knew it wasn’t our Marvin West. “He would never die in Kentucky.” So our spot on A5 remains filled. It’s spring! Marvin lives. Enjoy!
School board news When the school board meets at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 9, at Union County High School, a topic of discussion will be a contract for Dr. Jimmy Carter, new director of schools. If the board learned anything from its skirmishes with Director Wayne Goforth, it’s that a 4-year contract means four years. Meanwhile, Carter responded to questions via email. It’s a busy time for Union County Public Schools. Carter said he and Goforth are working on the transition now and he will be ready to go to work on July 1. He currently serves on the committee that’s preparing next year’s budget. Carter said things are busy but not uncomfortable at the central office. “Wayne has been good to work with through the process. We were friends before and have remained friends. That is a blessing really.” Carter’s priorities? “Curriculum and professional development to meet the needs of our students,” he wrote. “I want to meet with our current staff and look at our current structure to see how we can best provide a quality education to the students of Union County.”

Doing more than you know By Sandra Clark Union County Clerk Pam Ailor and her staff handle an array of responsibilities – so many that more than one person chimed in when asked to list them. Ailor was behind the counter, talking with customers when we randomly dropped by on Tuesday. The office has a jungle motif with Ailor pictures and sculptures in the lobby. Also in the lobby is a computer, set up for citizens to access the Internet at no charge. Since surplus fees collected by the office are returned to the county, Ailor says citizens should use her office whenever possible. Take a look at the services offered: ■ Motor vehicle registration (car tags) – the primary task. The office records car title transfers and issues registration renewals. It also sells specialty tags. Tag renewals also available on the website. ■ Driver’s licenses – you can’t take the driver’s test, but you can renew or duplicate your regular Class D license or TN state ID here. Pictures are made on-site. ■ Passports – Get yours here, but leave plenty of time. Again, pictures are made on-site. ■ Record keeping for County Commission (minutes available online back
Meet the staff of the Clerk’s Office: (front) Amy England, Carol Williams, Elizabeth Buck; (middle) Pam Ailor, Joyce Dyer, Candice Vickers; (back) Larry Brantley.
to 2008 at unioncountyclerkTN.com). ■ Marriage licenses – Buy your license here; preregister for marriage license online; look up licenses back to the 1800s on the website. Order a certified copy of your marriage certificate online. ■ Hunting and fishing licenses – also boat registration. ■ Business licenses can be applied for online or in the office ■ Hotel/motel tax collection. ■ Notary applications – Information available online and application is made in the office (application must be approved by County Commission) ■ Beer Permit applications (must be approved by County Beer Board)
And we’ve probably left out a few tasks. Fees are set by state law, and any surplus over the cost of operations is returned to the county. Ailor is serving her second term, having been elected in 2006. She is married to Earl Ailor II. They have sons Clark and Blake. Meet the team: Joyce Dyer is chief deputy clerk and the business tax supervisor. Larry Brantley operates the driver’s license station, as well as the motor vehicle division. Elizabeth Buck does all the bookkeeping and county commission minutes. Amy England is in charge of processing all daily title work and preparing invoices to be sent to the Department of Revenue. Carol Williams is certi-
fied in driver’s license and performs all daily office duties. Candice Vickers is certified in passports and also performs all daily office duties. In addition, each employee is responsible for serving all customers. In 2007, Ailor led efforts to relocate the clerk’s office to the former Commercial Bank building on Main Street, across from the courthouse. In addition to preserving an historic building, the office now offers a drive-through window for tag renewal purposes only for the convenience of residents. Hours are 8 to 4 weekdays and 9 to noon on Saturdays, unless it is a holiday weekend. Credit and debit cards are now accepted for all transactions. Info: 9928043 or pam.ailor@tn.gov/.
Battle Branch Another scenario is the story that was passed down through the Donahue family and told to me by Dorothy Donahue Kelly, one of the foremost authorities on the Civil War in Tennessee. She said that during the Civil War troops passed through the hollow along Highway 61 East going back and forth beBonnie tween Blaine’s Crossroads Peters and Cumberland Gap, and that there were skirmishes along the branch during that time.

Rolling with the caravan The spring football game was free. That helps explain part of the crowd. The Big Orange Caravan includes food and other refreshments but comes with a price tag – Germantown this week, Chattanooga next week, Kingsport, Atlanta and Franklin to follow. If all those stops are standing room only, you can believe that Tennessee fans believe better days are coming. Butch Jones, Holly Warlick and Cuonzo Martin are promised as informants and/or entertainers. Bob Kesling will be the moderator. Dave Hart may show up to deliver state-ofthe-union addresses. Inci-
fense is as good as it looked on April 20 or did the absence of a big-play offense create an illusion? I’d like Marvin to know that answer. West Coach may be asked how he established such a warm relationship with former Volunteers in such a short dentally, he is the resident time. I think I know that one. Butch came with respect expert on job security. At each site, the theme for tradition. He honored and will be optimism. And accomplishments recruiting. And talk of recognized ol’ Vols as the football tickets. Many are foundation of historical success. He invited them available. A few questions are to come see him, to take sure to emerge. Some will a look at the new training be planted. Some may be facility, stay for practice, let’s have dinner. spontaneous. He did his homework. Coach Jones might be asked if the Tennessee de- He noted that John Boyn-
Overlooked promise Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from your birth, carried from the womb; even to your old age I am he, even when you turn gray I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save. (Isaiah 46: 3-4 NRSV) In preparation for Bible classes I have taught, I have read (by actual count) more than 80 percent of the Bible. I also have read lots of other passages, for other reasons, so I am sometimes
surprised by a passage that sounds absolutely new and astonishing to me. The passage quoted above is a perfect example. Now, it is possible that I have read it before, and

CROSS CURRENTS have simply forgotten it. However, when I ran across it recently, it struck me as an especially important promise. Perhaps that is because it includes that phrase
ton is from Pikeville and Larry Seivers is from Clinton and Curt Watson is from Crossville. Jones made a very smart move in asking ex-Vols to address the team. Inky is a living sermon. Arian Foster is a super success story. Al Wilson is a fantastic motivator. Most of us know there is far more to Big Orange football than the negativity of three losing seasons. Tennessee, through the years, somehow won 799 games. The new coach and I know who did it. The real caravan question is who can make the big plays to raise the record to 806 or 807? When it is time to stand and applaud, Holly Warlick deserves the loudest ovation. She had a tough act to follow and followed it well.
Her basketball team lost a couple it could have won but certainly exceeded my expectations. She and her staff have recruited boldly. Impressive, very impressive. So, tell us Holly, what can we expect for an encore? Cuonzo may get a free pass because this is May and he is well-liked and respected. A fun question would be how he thinks Kesling will pronounce Rawane Ndiaye? The coach will say ruhWAH-nee N-jie, or Pops for short. That may be the solution when Bob and Bert are describing a heated rebounding battle. Conversation about Ndiaye replacing Yemi Makanjuola is an uncomfortable part of the Tennessee basketball dilemma. I don’t know what Coach Martin
will say if somebody asks who he beat to get those two, if either was on Kentucky’s recruiting list. Fans will surely want to know what the coach expects from Jeronne Maymon, he of the gimpy knee. And how long will it take Jarnell Stokes to master the 15-foot jumper? If fans tell Cuonzo the truth, the message, politely expressed, will be that so-so is simply not good enough. Tennessee basketball really, really needs to achieve entry into the NCAA tournament. That is the minimum level of sustainable pride. One other question: Barbecue is very big on the caravan menu. Why not for the breakfast meeting?
“even when you turn gray,” which is certainly happening to me. When I was in my mid-20s and discovered a couple of gray hairs at my temples, I chalked it up to my Petree ancestors, who were prone to graying early. Why couldn’t I have inherited the Whited genes when it came to hair color? My Grandfather Whited had brown hair when he was in his 80s! Even so, I have kept my gray hairs, figuring Mother Nature knows what she is doing. Besides, I earned every one of them; they are mine! But here I discover that the prophet Isaiah inter-
prets the word from the Lord as saying that He has borne me from my birth, and carried me from the womb. Then, even more extravagantly, God promises that He will carry me to my old age – gray hairs and all! “I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save,” God declares. The commentary in my Bible points out that the false gods of Babylon (BelMarduk and Nabu), were fashioned by their devotees and had to be carried around by their worshippers. Furthermore, the idols were incapable of protecting their followers.
God, on the other hand, bears and protects that which He has made: “I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.” Granted, there have been times in my life when I felt as if the everlasting arms had failed me, that God was somewhere out of earshot, unable to hear my prayers. Intellectually and spiritually, I knew better, believed better, but that was how I felt. Here, however, is God’s own promise. God made me and God will bear me up. God will carry me, and God will save me. That is a promise I can and will count on.

Will Phillips and the Union Farmers Co-op will host farmers and discussion about the Tennessee Ag Enhancement Program at 6 p.m. Monday, May 6. All are invited. Photos by S. Clark
By Sandra Clark Farmers can get incentives from 35 to 50 percent for farm upgrades through the Tennessee Agriculture Enhancement Program. Applications must be submitted June 1-7, so Shannon Perrin of the Ag Extension Office and Will Phillips of the Union Farmers Co-op are hosting an information meeting Monday, May 6, at 6 p.m. at the Co-op. John Hodges from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture will be on hand to answer questions and
help with applications. Perrin will assist with applications on Monday and Tuesday, May 13-14, by appointment. She will not be available after May 24. Farmers should schedule appointments as soon as possible by calling 992-8038. Full information is available online at www.tn.gov/ taep or from a brochure available at the Co-op or Ag Extension Office. Last year more than $100,000 came into Union County through this program, Perrin said, with more than $1 million into the county since the program started. Phillips said new hay barns are the most common projects, “with cattle working equipment a close second.” Farmers are encouraged to diversify, with cost-share
money available for honey production, cold storage or a greenhouse, for instance. Genetics projects include help for buying or leasing a new bull, as well as for artificial insemination equipment for cattle, sheep or goats. Cattle farmers can upgrade their handling equipment with new squeeze chutes for loading or hoof trimming, pasture sprayers, scales, covered mineral feeders and grain bins for feeding or storage. (Items are also eligible for owners of goats and sheep.) Hay storage facilities must be on applicant or family-owned land, and can be new structures or additions to existing structures. At least one side must be completely open. Also eligible are mixer wagons and grinder/mixers, hay wrappers and commodity sheds.
Perrin said frequently used items also include: Agritourism: Parking (gravel or pavement), pavilions, retail shelters and signs. Fruits and vegetables: Apple/peach liners for orchards, blackberry/ blueberry/raspberry stock, grape vine stock, greenhouse, plastic mulch layer, row covers and – most important – irrigation. Horticulture: Greenhouse, irrigation, cold storage. Organics: Hoop house, irrigation.
What is a weed? A college fella’ from UT told me once that a weed is “a plant whose use and virtue have not yet been discovered.” …Like I said, he was a college fella’. If your definition of a weed is “a plant that ought to die,” here are some tips: ■ Kill ’em with competition. Weed problems often arise when grass thins and allows sunlight to reach bare soil. Keep your grass healthy with fertilizer, lime and by reseeding. If you kill one weed and don’t encourage grass to take its place, another weed will. ■ Properly identify the problem. Without a positive ID of the target weed, it is impossible to determine how to kill it. Keep in mind – there is NOT a chemical solution to every weed problem. ■ Apply the proper chemical at the proper rate at the correct time. Read the label. If you have questions, ask your chemical dealer. DON’T JUST GUESS! Some herbicides that are safe to grass at label rates will kill it if you over-apply. Most weeds are only sensitive to herbicides at certain growth stages. Also, try to apply your chemical in at least 15 gallons of water/ acre for broadcast spraying, BUT there is no need to spray until it runs off the weeds and soaks the ground in most cases. It is a waste of herbicide and money.
Equipment eligible for purchase through the Ag Enhancement Program cost-share is on display at the Co-op.

Spinal stenosis is the name of the degenerative condition in which the spinal canal narrows. The canal is the opening in the vertebrae of the spine through which the spinal cord travels. The problem will generally occur in the lumbar spine, the lower part of the back. The narrowing can be caused by the natural effects of aging, by arthritis, trauma or heredity, among other things. The result generally is pressure put on the spinal cord or nerves emanating from it. Symptoms can include numbness in the legs, limping and lower back pain. Treatments for spinal stenosis vary. A conservative medical approach might include bed rest, analgesics, muscle relaxants and the application of heat. In an extreme case, surgery may be required to ease the pressure on a nerve. Another option is conservative chiropractic care, which would include manipulation to make sure the vertebrae–the individual bones that make up the spine–are in perfect alignment so that the spinal cord has a clear, unobstructed path. Chiropractic treatment would also include a regimen of exercise and other self-care techniques to keep the spine stable. At your next chiropractic visit, ask for more information on how to keep your spine healthy.

Thoughtful Tributes for Mother’s Day Anna Jarvis: The ‘mother’ of Mother’s Day A
At the age of 12, Anna Jarvis heard her mother pray that someone would establish a day of commemorating mothers everywhere. Anna A never ne forgot this moment. When her mother passed away in 1905, Anna was heard to say at the graveside service, “…by the grace of God, you shall have that Mother’s Day.” By 1907, 19 Anna began a campaign to establish Mother’s Day. On the second anniversary of her mother’s death, she led a small tribute at Andrews Anndrew Methodist Church. The next year, Mother’s Day was celebrated in Philadelphia. Anna’s supporters began to write letters asking for a national Mother’s Day. She eventually gained the support of John Wanamaker, Philadelphia merchant and philanthropist. In 1909, 45 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Canada and Mexico observed Mother’s Day. People wore white and red carnations to pay tribute to their mothers, a tradition started by Anna. Carnations were Anna’s mother’s favorite flowers, the white Mother’s Day is May 12 carnation most of all because it represented the purity of a mother’s heart.

My Mother More precious than rubies, I can still hear her voice, When I was just a little one and she had to make my choice. The nights when she rocked me in the big brown rocking chair, The way she held me close to her, I knew she would always care. No matter what the problem was, if it be great or small, She taught how the One above could help me when I call. The late summer evenings her voice would call my name, When I stayed outside too late to play my childhood games.
She never asked for riches, of silver and of gold, Just for everyone to be happy and to love her when she grew old. She taught me how to love God first and I didn’t understand. My mother was so kind to me – how could anyone else be so grand? Each night she knelt with me and taught me how to pray, To always love and trust God and to stay in His narrow way. Now that I have grown up and the Lord is in my heart, I thank my mother tenderly who played a special part. As I look back over those years, all these treasures I do hold, And Mother, don’t you worry, I’ll still love you when you grow tired and old!
