IN THIS ISSUE
Wayne Nobles, a member of the local chapter of Project Healing Waters, and Ed Nicholson, founder of the nationwide organization.
A disabled veteran gets a lesson in fly fishing from a Clinch River Trout Unlimited guide in the waters below Norris Dam.
By Libby Morgan “We like to get the veterans together and we just have a good time,” says Ed Nicholson, founder of Project Healing Waters, standing on the bank of the Clinch River for the very first time. Captain Nicholson, who lives in Maryland, had served in Vietnam and retired in 1994 from 30 years in the Navy. In 2005, he was a patient at Walter Reed hospital when he realized how much the young wounded soldiers there simply needed companionship and some-
thing to look forward to. “It was just a small thought at the time. When I saw all these guys and ladies, the results of the wars, and the families, I thought, you know, I’d like to catch up on my fishing, and maybe some of these guys would like to go fishing with me. “That was 10 years ago, and now, Project Healing Waters is all over the country. “You hear all sorts of wonderful things. One of these guys out on
the water here today said to me, ‘I want to thank you for starting Project Healing Waters because it’s changed my life. I now have purpose, I got a good job and I have my life back.’” Nicholson continues, “It’s more than just fishing. It’s where it leads you and how you can better adapt to what happened to you. You gotta move on. “Our mission’s purpose is building friendships and building
relationships and doing the healing with each other. “People get to know one another and become friends and then they anticipate the next meeting, the next training session, the next this and that, and of course we go fishing, but we don’t just go fishing. We build relationships.” “Coming here this morning, just fishing, I feel better already myself.” To page 3

Thanking Ms. Bloma For school year 2002-2003 I was assigned as principal of Luttrell Elementary. A teacher went on leave during the latter part of that year, and it was best practice to find a certified teacher to fill the position to ensure continued quality of education. I was thrilled that Ms. Bloma Rush would fill this leave.

Bill Weigel tells what’s under the By Sandra Clark “It’s better to be lucky than smart.” That’s the word from Bill Weigel, the man who cites the corn dog as his chief contribution to the business that bears his name. Weigel amused and inspired at last week’s Powell Business and Professional Association meeting as he reconnected with old friends in the community he calls home. Weigel talked about his military service in France. He told how his dad, worried about the future of farming, shipped him off to Vanderbilt University to train to be a doctor. The chemistry and biology almost did him in. Weigel’s is the story of an immi-
grant family who bought land in Wartburg, moved to Forks of the River and finally settled on 600 acres in Powell. The Broadacres Farm is now the Broadacres subBill Weigel division, home to almost 1,000 families. “My dad was 21 in 1931 when he bought his first four cows,” Weigel said. Previously, the family had raised vegetables. The big white barn, still visible from Emory Road, was built in 1931 and expanded shortly thereafter
as the herd grew to 40. Mr. Weigel initially sold milk to Avondale Dairy (on Norris Freeway where the empty Walmart now stands). He soon had his own processing plant. Home deliveries came next. The Weigel’s story is one of caution and observation. “My dad and uncle went to Florida” where they discovered the milk depot, he said. Women were taking jobs out of the home, and no one was around to bring in the milk. Soon the brothers built the original winged Weigel’s where customers could drive through to buy milk. “It got tough to operate a single product line,” he says, so the walk-

in milk store was born. “Open 1010.” A slick sales rep talked them into installing gasoline pumps. “We hated to tear up that asphalt.” After watching the sales and calculating the vendor’s take, Weigel’s started installing its own pumps. The new logo – a white W on a bright red background – was created in 1965. “I didn’t like it at first. It made us look like a gas station,” he said. With the new century came a new logo, an emphasis on coffee, creation of branded products like Skim D’Lite and eggnog, and most recently the addition of fresh bakery items.

Paulette builds wetland By Libby Morgan Martha Brown, STEM teacher at Paulette Elementary, has developed garden beds and a composting program to open her students’ eyes to the natural world just outside the door. And for quite a while, she’s had big plans for the drainage area. Fruit trees and benches were installed around the perimeter of the “big hole” earlier this school year, and last week. It began to be transformed into a wetland to add to the outdoor classroom experience for the students. Brown says, “What exactly is a wetland and why would you want one? “More than one-third of the endangered and threatened animals and plants in the United States depend on wetlands in some way. These species may die out if more of their wet places are destroyed. These species include whooping cranes, mission blue butterflies, and green pitcher plants. “Paulette is doing our part by taking an unusable piece of land and turning it into a haven for birds and animals. Last week, the whole community came together to get a wetlands built. “Thanks go out to John

The reuniting of Mary and Odell Rosenbaum
She brightened the corner for me For school year 20022003 I was assigned as principal of Luttrell Elementary.
Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME A teacher went on leave during the latter part of that year, and it was best practice to find a certified teacher to fill the position to ensure continued quality of education. I was thrilled that Ms. Bloma Rush would fill this leave, knowing that her acceptance would more than ensure continuous student learning. I didn’t have the pleasure of being Ms. Bloma’s student, though she taught at Maynardville Elementary when I was a student there. I felt I knew her well, however, as my mother had been her neighbor and attended church with the Rush family. One of my mother’s favorite stories involved Ms. Bloma’s mother-in-law. Ms. Rush once went to visit a newborn in the community. When someone later asked her what she thought, Ms. Rush replied, “I told his mother that he was pretty, but that was really the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen.” My mother had the greatest respect for Ms. Bloma, and this was echoed by others who knew her. Ms. Bloma taught for 11 years from 1957 to 1969 in some of the smaller Union County schools (Brocks, Rose Hill, Nave Hill and Hubbs Grove) before transferring to Maynardville Elementary in 1969 where she remained until retirement. Ms. Bloma taught first and second grades at Maynardville.
One of my teacher colleagues (who had a relative who taught with Ms. Bloma) once told me, “Bloma’s the only real second grade teacher at Maynardville.” After retirement Ms. Bloma was an active substitute teacher for several years. I was a little anxious to hear that Ms. Bloma would be filling an interim position for me at Luttrell, for she had much more experience as a teacher than I had as an educator, and I certainly didn’t want her to find me lacking as an administrator. Ms. Bloma was a principal’s dream. She had excellent rapport with her parents, and the students all loved her. Ms. Bloma was a warm, comforting person, and any part of any day I spent with her made the remainder all the better. Ms. Bloma was highly competent, and while she expected every student to perform to the best of his/her ability, at the same time she was a realist, always knowing what was practical. I can honestly say that Ms. Bloma did more for me than I ever could have for her while she filled that leave, yet she gave me a parting gift when the school year ended, a most beautiful, light purple dress shirt, which I wore proudly until a little wear and my expanding middle decreed otherwise. I always think of Ms. Bloma whenever I see a dress shirt of that color. It was a sad day when Ms. Bloma decided to give up substitute teaching, yet her positive influence remains in the lives of all the students and colleagues she touched throughout the years. Next week expect another substitute tale.
On March 2, 2015, the Rev. J. Odell Rosenbaum was called home, and exactly two months later his wife, Mary DeVault Rosenbaum, died on May 2, 2015.
Bonnie Peters
This couple were well known in the Luttrell community and were friends of my in-laws, who have also passed away. The Rosenbaums lived in a section of Luttrell called Jimtown, which is said to have been named for the three “Jims” who lived there – Jim Monroe, Jim Perkey and Jim Wolfenbarger. Mary is a descendant of Jim Perkey, and the Rosenbaums owned the historic Perkey farm that has been in this same family since 1882. It was recognized as a Century Farm, one of just eight in Union County.
The Tennessee Century Farms Program was created in 1975 by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture as part of our nation’s bicentennial celebration. In 1985, the Center for Historic Preservation at Middle Tennessee State University assumed responsibility for it. The program was originally designed and continues to be a recognition and documentary effort for families who have owned a farm for 100 years or longer. The Tennessee Century Farms Program has a farm in all of Tennessee’s 95 counties. Since its inception, the statewide and ongoing program has 1,487 certified farms. Of that number, 52 farms were founded in or prior to the year 1796, the year Tennessee became a state. Thirty farms are on the National Register, and eight are a part of the Land Trust for Tennessee. Additionally, seven have African-American founders, and four were founded by women.
Many kind and well-deserved remarks were show-
ered on Mary and Odell at their funerals. Tributes noted their hospitality and Mary’s love to entertain friends and her industriousness in preserving food for her family friends. At times she would get up at 3 a.m. to can a run of beans before being at work at the Standard Knitting Mills at 7 a.m. You can bet that she and the rest of the family had stayed up later than usual breaking those beans. They valued education, but like most people their age their opportunities were limited.
Nonetheless, they were well read and had a particular interest in local history and historic preservation. It was always a pleasure to run into and have a chat with Odell and their son, Bert, at Okie’s Pharmacy in Maynardville. Odell, an ordained minister, served with the Union County Jail Ministry for 16 years. Mary retired as a Standard Knitting Mills employee. Mary and Odell loved the Lord, their family and friends. Home, family and farming were their love and their focus throughout their 63-year marriage. Mary and Odell are survived by their children – Bert Rosenbaum, Esther Ruffner and Jan Walker and their families; five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. The Rosenbaums are buried at Luttrell Cemetery. Their obituaries are archived at ObitsforLife.com. They will be sorely missed, and we know the family will carry on their wonderful legacy.
Wimberly recalls Monkey Trial On May 5, 90 years to the day after Rhea County High School teacher John Scopes agreed to get himself indicted for teaching evolution, former Circuit Judge Harold Wimberly led a conversation at an event called the Southern Railway Stump S p e e c h about the Trial of the 20th Century, demon s t r at i ng the chops Wimberly that made him a hometown hero as a member of the University of Tennessee’s 1962 G.E. College Bowl team that came in second nationally and got a ticker-tape parade down Gay Street.

Betty Bean passel of preachers and a dapper chimpanzee named Joe Mendi, who showed up in a fedora, a brown plaid suit and spats. Wimberly devoted considerable attention to the less well-known, and certainly less fashionable, John R. Neal, a Knoxville lawyer who served as Scopes’ local counsel. Although Neal didn’t get to participate in what Wimberly called “the greatest moment in judicial history” (when chief defense attorney Darrow called prosecutor Bryan to the stand), it was pretty clear that the Monkey Trial was right down his alley. Evolution was a hot topic 90 years ago, and Neal, who started his own law school after getting fired from UT as a result of a censorship
fight over a line written by an education professor in a proposed new textbook referring to humans as “descendants of an extinct race of primates,” jumped into the thick of it. After the book got ditched, the UT president fired a bunch of professors who had participated in the protest, and Neal, who had been only peripherally involved, got the boot as well. The following March, the state Legislature ratified the university’s position by passing the Butler Act, which prohibited teaching human evolution and became the basis for prosecuting Scopes, who was found guilty and fined $100 but subsequently had his conviction overturned. Wimberly turned cryptic when Clay Crownover, a public relations guy who represents the Blue Slip Winery and the Historic Southern Railway Station and is the organizer of the Southern Railway Stump

Speech, asked him to draw parallels between the Monkey Trial and modern-day educational controversies. “Anything is possible,” Wimberly said, with the faintest of smiles on his face. Wimberly declined to directly address the bill making the Bible Tennessee’s official state book – which passed, but wasn’t signed into law because of constitutional problems – or any of the other legislative forays into textbook censorship or the promotion of creationism. But it was easy to connect the historical dots. Crownover, who labels himself “a Joe Biden Democrat,” said he envisions the Stump Speeches as a way to air issues that don’t get talked about enough, particularly issues that pertain to the history of Knoxville. “I’d like for people to say what they think regardless of consequences and take the heat from the people in the audience.”

Never wanted anyone to feel sorry for me Billy Joe O’Kain, a pitcher on the most successful Tennessee baseball team, didn’t make it to the big leagues. I thought he might.
Marvin West
O’Kain was a star for the 1951 Vols, second in the College World Series. The team had a 20-3 season, best winning percentage in UT history. Soon thereafter, baseball and life took bad hops. On a surprisingly cold and wet July evening in Winner, South Dakota,
O’Kain was pitching for an independent team against an all-star delegation from Cuba. Something wasn’t right in his shoulder but he kept trying. The Cubans knocked him around. Billy tried some more. That was his nature. The next day and for a week, doctors tried to determine the cause of his affliction. They failed. At UT the following spring, O’Kain confirmed what he already knew, that he wasn’t as effective as he had been, that his fastball had slowed, that his shoulder might never be the same. All was not lost. Bill married his sweetheart, Ruby McGinnis, and forfeited his UT scholarship. Robert R. Neyland, athletic director, did not fund married ath-
letes. He demanded fulltime devotion. O’Kain became an electrician apprentice in Oak Ridge, saved some money, returned to UT and hit another roadblock. He suddenly couldn’t see properly. Doctors discovered retinal hemorrhaging but couldn’t find the cause. He made the elite hospital rounds – Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins and Vanderbilt. No precise determination, no cure. “I drove part of the way home from Baltimore and realized I couldn’t see very well. We didn’t use the word ‘blind.’ It was a bad word. But by 1954, I was.” A weak man would have crumbled. A fighter would have been discouraged. O’Kain never considered giving up. He signed up for

He met Dick Freeling, a World War II victim who had been shot in the face and had lost senses of taste and smell – and sight. “Bill Freeling was a wonderful man with a positive outlook on life. He was a ham radio operator and an insurance agent.” Bill O’Kain became a ham radio operator. He opened an insurance agency in the basement of his Oak Ridge home. Nothing to it, folks. He walked to work. Well, sometimes he tumbled down the steps but he got up and kept on keeping on in business for 40 years. Bill is father of two. He is twice a grandfather.

dren. Because Ruby was a bowler, Bill bowled. He has been a deacon at Robertsville Baptist. He talks with radio friends “all over the world.” Bill says Ruby has been the winning edge in his life. Before he hired a secretary and then two, she did the insurance paperwork at night after getting home from her day job. She was his tour guide all the years they had season tickets to Tennessee football and basketball. Do what? Go to games you can’t see? “I can feel them,” said O’Kain. “I can be part of the excitement. I can go to a Tennessee baseball game and know the team is playing on the field where I played.” Because he once saw
Mickey Mantle in action, O’Kain has long been a fan of the Yankees – and the Braves and a few other teams. He buys a radio package to follow baseball closely. “I can see the action through a play-by-play announcer. Television announcers aren’t much help. They talk about too many things unrelated to what’s happening on the field.” Bill O’Kain, 84, will address the lunch bunch next week at Lake Forest Presbyterian Church. He will tell the audience that God has blessed his life. “I’ve tried to do the best I can with what I have. I never wanted anyone to feel sorry for me.” Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Chiropractic and ankle sprains Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC A sprained ankle is an injury that can nag for a long time and can easily reoccur. Most sprains occur when a person awkwardly rolls outward, damaging the ligaments on the outer side of the ankle. The result is usually heavy swelling and bruising. It can take four to six weeks for a sprained ankle to heal. Those damaged ligaments, though, will now carry some scar tissue, meaning they are less flexible and are prone to further damage. Because the ankle bears so much weight, when you compensate for a weakened one, you can develop problems in the joints above, including the knees, hips and spine. Compensation may include a change in your gait and a shift in your weight-bearing stance, which will stress those other joints. You may not feel it immediately, but over time and after activity the
discomfort may be more noticeable. A chiropractic exam will detect any misalignment that may have occurred in the aftermath of an ankle sprain, and a chiropractic manipulation will help put things back in line. Your chiropractor will also be able to advise you on posture and your biomechanics. As always, wearing footwear appropriate to the activity – whether it’s a sport like tennis or basketball, hiking or for work – is a good way to protect your feet in general, and to guard against sprains. Talk with your chiropractor for more tips on how to avoid ankle sprains and what to do if you have one.
