Brings home honors, preps for working summer By Libby Morgan “It’s the time spent in the saddle that makes a better rider,” says Bob Roberts of Cedar Creek Farm in Gibbs. “Nothing else is as important as practice.” And Bob and Gail Roberts’ 20-year-old son Blake has put lots of saddle time on the clock. “He’s been riding a 1,300 pound horse since he weighed about 80 pounds,” said Bob, “Growing up, he rode just about every day.” Blake’s practice has paid off over the years, as he has been earning blue ribbons in competitions against adults since he was 12. “The best riders have been training for 30 or 40 years. Most of the Olympic champions have grey hair. So I know it’s a skill I can always improve,” says Blake. Blake, a 2010 Gibbs High grad, is in his junior year at Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Va., where he can ride the

The horse and rider go through a jump course the first day of the show, then the top 24 scoring riders go on to “flat test,” where they are asked to trot, canter, change leads, and possibly swap horses. The top 10 jump again on the final day. Blake made the cut all the way to third place overall, a rare honor for a junior.

Smith said unwanted or outdated prescription drugs should be disposed of “to keep somebody from breaking into your house (and) they need to be disposed of properly, not in the toilet, because they will end up in the water system.”

Budget is top topic Residents should be proud of the efforts underway by both county commissioners and school board members to pare down budget requests to manageable sums under the current property tax rate. Ann Dyer, as consolidated finance director, is a huge asset in this endeavor. The school board met in special session last Thursday (after press time) to hammer out a contract for Director Dr. Jimmy Carter. He’s directly involved in putting together the school system’s budget for fiscal year 2014. So far at least there’s a spirit of cooperation that’s uncommon in these discussions. And that’s a good thing. ■ Sharps Chapel Elementary School is small but mighty when it comes to academic performance. At the May Board of Education meeting, Carter recognized principal Bryan Shoffner and some of his students and staff for their work in the recent math competition for fourth and fifth graders. “Our baseball team had a good year, too,” Shoffner joked as students came forward in summer-league

baseball uniforms. In his role as supervisor of K-8, Carter promoted the math competition, and get this: Sharps Chapel won for fourth grade, fifth grade and overall. The school received $1,000 for its general fund. ■ Apologies are in order to Commissioner J.M. Bailey who said he’s received grief from his neighbors and friends since this writer referred to him as a curmudgeon a few weeks back. We did it in reference to his intense questioning of Road Superintendent David Cox, but Bailey’s objection just reinforces something we already knew. Union County folks can joke with each other, but let someone from Halls make a joke and the whole community lines up to defend the offended. Apologies to J.M. who actually is one of my favorite commissioners. (Stop now, Clark!)

Big Barren - Little Barren

Big Barren - Little Barren. These names are oh so familiar with older Union Countians.

Bonnie Peters

Both communities were dislocated with the impoundment of Norris Lake. The Union County portion of Big Barren Creek is now under the lake. The creek surfaces again in Claiborne County at the end of one of the “fingers” of Norris Lake. Big Barren and Little Barren communities were formed around these creeks, probably as a result of the gristmills that were scattered along the creek banks and in operation until the mid-1930s.

A Little Barren Church Group, circa 1921. Pictured are: Fred Sharp, Sillus Needham, Mattie Palmer, Lula Palmer, Lynn Sharp; Helen and Mildred Palmer are standing in front. The girl peeking from behind is not known. Big Barren community was located at the UnionClaiborne county line in the vicinity of what we now think of as the Cedar Grove community, and Little Barren community was near the intersection of Hwy. 33 and Sharps Chapel Road. Both creeks provided a valuable resource of water to these communities. About 1803, Big Barren Primitive Baptist Church was established on the Banks of Big Barren Creek and remained active there until it had to be moved for

the impoundment of the lake. Big Barren was the first known Primitive Baptist Church in what became Union County. The gristmills were not rebuilt, but the churches and cemeteries were relocated. If someone has the story of why Big Barren Cemetery was relocated to Little Valley, please let me know. It is one of four major cemeteries to receive re-entombments from cemeteries that were in the Norris floodplain and had to be relocated.

Union County Cemeteries Association has copies of the minutes of Big Barren Primitive Baptist Church from 1838 to 1949. This church was in Claiborne County near where Cedar Grove Marina is today. The lesser portion of the creek was known as Little Barren, and that church was located just north of the old Highway 33 Bridge. Since the creeks were there before the churches, we assume these communities were named for the creeks.

Come to the water Sun coming up in the east: check. Birds chirping in the trees: check. Fr. Aaron Wessman Smoky mist settling in the mountains: check. Cup of coffee in hand: check. Light breeze awakening the sleeping earth: check. The feeling that mornings can’t get much better than this: check. Lately, my moments of front porch sitting in the early morning have been a grace from God. I wouldn’t call myself a morning person, but with this experience, it is hard not to be one. But what has blessed me far more than the mountains, mist, birds, and I am shocked to say – even the coffee – is the light breeze moving across the earth. For in this light breeze is a reminder of the Spirit of God.

Jesus describes being revived by this wind-moving Spirit as being “born from above (John 3:6).” As the sun breaks on a new day, as the mist rolls through the mountains, and as the wind moves where it wills, all of nature seems to be “born from above.” In the same way, the Spirit of God can touch our lives and help us to be born into so much more: from depression to hope, from isolation to community, from fear to trust, from hatred to love. These are the gifts of living in the Spirit. This is the experience of salvation that Jesus promises to us when He says that “I come so that they might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).”

As you enjoy some front porch sitting this summer, may the breeze that touches your face remind you that salvation is not far for us all.

UNION COUNTY Shopper news • MAY 25, 2013 • 5 frightening reports, saw disturbing photographs of battered linemen and decided football was doing more harm than good. There was no way to face the nation, but he sent forth word that football should be outlawed. The promise of change bought time for thought. Legalizing the forward pass appeared monumental. It did not stop hitting and hurting. The change, in fact, proved mostly cosmetic, like refining street fights into boxing. Players still got killed but fatalities were less gory. Perhaps you know what happened after that. Football spread out somewhat and used more of the field. Coaches started thinking. Strategy evolved. Was it better to feature size or speed? There were two obvious ways to play offense: run

a few plays with precision or a hodge-podge hundred and hope the others guys were more confused. Tennessee in the Neyland era embraced the former philosophy (he rarely used more than 12 or 15 plays in any game, but all were near enough to flawless). The T formation became the rage and a lot of other things developed. Bill Walsh substituted the short passing game for a running attack. Somebody invented the wishbone. Darrell Royal gets credit. Emory Bellard deserves more. Barry Switzer says Spud Cason did it at William Monnig Junior High in Fort Worth – because his fullback was slow. Paul Bryant copied the concept and had a fast fullback. Alabama changed the world. Sam Wyche, Bubba’s

older brother, was principal innovator of the nohuddle offense. He had the Cincinnati Bengals playing so fast, opponents said it was probably immoral and certainly unethical. Defenders didn’t have time to make substitutions, much less catch their breath. We’ll see how fast Butch Jones plays. There is no speed limit. Doug Dickey took Tennessee from the single wing era and also developed some crusty linebackers. John Majors lost a star quarterback, plugged in Dickey’s son and created the Sugar Vols (1985). Phillip Fulmer refined the art of persistent recruiting and won a national championship. I suppose the evolution of football is a happier story if I stop right there.

They represent the promise of eternal life mystery that has been both ity of having three gods,

but Christians claim that the Trinity is one God, revealed in different forms. It is a mystery. There is one explanation that has been helpful to me. It may be startling to someone who has not heard the Trinity explained this way, but I found it understandable, comforting and, well, comfortable. To understand it, first you need to know that the word spirit in both Hebrew (ruach) and in Greek (pneuma) – the languages of the Old and New Testaments – is feminine. So

if you can get your mind around the Holy Spirit as the feminine aspect of God, then in the Trinity you have a nice little nuclear family: Father, Mother and Son. That is a mystery I can believe in, relate to and hold onto. It is “the sound of voices three, singing together in harmony, surrendering to the mystery.” And it makes the miracle and the mystery of love – both human and divine, giving and receiving, celebratory and sacrificial – even more wondrous.

Evolution of football Effective this fall, football players who strike defenseless foes above the shoulders will be subject to ejection. Players will be prohibited from using helmets as the punishing part of battering rams. Football is fearful of concussions – and lawsuits. Renewed concern about rules and serious injuries reminds me of 1905. Things were so bad, the president of the United States got involved. In case you missed that season, it was when “Volunteers” became the official handle for sports teams at UT. Football Vols played at the rocky corner of 15th and Cumberland. They were not reported as particularly violent or

prone to foul. They went 3-5-1 under new coach J.D. Depree, an overmatched leader without assistants. The low-budget Volunteers, captained by Roscoe “Piggy” Word, defeated Tennessee School for the Deaf and ran roughshod over American Temperance, 104-0. Clemson and Tennessee tied, 5-5, then the value of a touchdown. The Vols lost to Vanderbilt, Sewanee and Georgia Tech, defeated Centre but lost to

Alabama in Birmingham and Grant in Chattanooga. I really don’t think Tennessee caused it, but activists became convinced that football was too rough and tumble, generally crude and void of dignity. The deaths of 18 college players might have been a factor. Indeed, football was a violent game of crunching power surges and crazy collisions followed by piling on. There was punting and running for your life and an occasional score, cause for throwing hats in the air, hugging the nearest girl and launching the rag-tag band into the fight song (this was way before “Rocky Top”). President Theodore Roosevelt, a man’s man, heard

The pregnant pelvis Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC It’s a joyous time, of course, when a woman is pregnant and about to bring a new life into the world. The experience, though, is physically taxing, putting all sorts of new demands on her body. Numerous studies have shown that chiropractic treatment is effective in alleviating some of the discomfort and misalignments that can occur in the body of a pregnant woman. One area that chiropractors focus on is the pelvis, which is essentially a ring made up of several bones. Those include the two hipbones, the sacrum and the coccyx, sometimes called the tailbone. Ligaments and other connective tissue hold them together. A hormone called relaxin is present in a pregnant woman’s body at 10 times its normal level. Among other things, the hormone softens ligaments to ease delivery of the baby. As the pregnancy moves along, the ligaments can stretch considerably. Chiropractic care aims not only to alleviate a woman’s discomfort, but to keep the expanding pelvic area stable. If the pelvis goes out of line, in addition to expanding, it can cause a condition called intrauterine constraint. This may actually reduce room for the fetus. Talk with your obstetrician and your chiropractor about whether you – and your baby-to-be – might benefit from chiropractic treatment.

David Gray raises beef By Libby Morgan Since Archer Road was a one-lane dirt track, Joan Sharp Gray has lived on her family farm on what is now Highway 370 near Ailor Gap Road. Her husband, David Gray, who grew up in Halls, joined the family when the two married as young adults, built a brick home and raised two kids. “We’ve been enjoying this view all these years,” says Joan, looking out from her front porch across to her sister’s home and the rolling hills of the 100+-acre farm on both sides of the road. The Grays’ Charolais cattle, a white-coated beef breed, keep a close ear for sounds relating to feeding time. All David had to do to get the cattle down to the barn was to let them hear him start the truck in the driveway. David, retired from AirGas after 43 years in the industry, has become a Tennessee Department of Agriculture Master Beef Producer, which makes him eligible for cost share assistance for equipment. “The market is down right now, with prices averaging $1.20. Six months to a year ago, it was up to $1.50 to $1.60. That’s a big difference when you’re talking about a 600-pound steer. David Gray, Meredith, and the Charolais cattle.
