Highway 61 farm producing beef, berries, more

By Libby Morgan When is the last time you put a bite of truly prime beef in your mouth? Maybe never, unless you’ve paid a pretty penny for it at a restaurant, or you grew your own.

Prime beef in the United States is a rare commodity, but the finest, most tender beef is available right here in Union County.

“Our cattle graze on rotation through our fields, they drink fresh spring water and they are never fed antibiotics or hormones,” says Rick Riddle, co-owner with his wife, Donna, of Seven Springs Farm in Maynardville.

The Riddles are raising grassfed Angus on some of their 370 acres, a farm that’s actively producing a wide range of vegetables, berries and tomatoes in an amazingly short time frame since the family bought the land in 2005.

Right now an acre of blueberries is poised for picking soon, tomatoes are coming on in their protected garden, green beans are poking up out of the ground, and the first crops of sweet corn are planted. Grapevines bearing muscadines and concords are stout and healthy.

A recent post on Facebook by Donna says, “…he (son Jim) and Rick hand-planted over a thousand tomato and pepper plants yesterday. Thanks for your hard work.”

So far this spring, the Riddles have been taking beef, asparagus, kale, spinach, Swiss chard, onions, radishes and more to farm-

Dr. James E. “Jimmy” Carter will make $93,900 annually for four years as director of Union County Public Schools under a contract adopted May 23.

The vote was close. The contract was apCarter proved by school board members David Coppock, Gerald Smith, Brian Oaks and Brad Griffey. Bill Sexton voted no, Marty Gibbs passed and Danny Wayne Collins was absent.

Sexton said later he has no problems with Carter, but he was not willing to approve a four-year contract. Gibbs had attempted to make the contract for two years on a motion that failed.

Carter said a 2-year contract could “create dissension in the ranks” as others jostled for the top job.

Attorney Mary Ann Stackhouse said the board is protected by language that allows for termination for cause. “(Jimmy) Carter is a wellknown quantity,” said Coppock.

Walker’s Ford saw pivotal action

WA L K E R ’ S F OR D

By Libby Morgan

“A pretty little repulse”

The Chamber’s initiative to remember Union County’s involvement in the Civil War has come to be, with a project that has been in the works for a couple of years.

The historic marker has arrived, commemorating a skirmish at Walker’s Ford, the Clinch River crossing north of Maynardville, and its importance described, in the words of General Orlando B. Willcox, “On the whole it was a pretty little repulse.”

Chamber president Julie Graham says, “Help with research of the project (which began in late summer 2011) came from Steve Epperson and Ohio State University archives. Private donations (with a generous donation from an anonymous benefactor) were raised at the 2012 Chamber banquet with assistance from Smiley Clapp. The final edit for the marker was completed by Dr. Carroll Van West.”

Van West is the director of the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area and Center for Historic Preservation at MTSU. The marker will be installed near Walker’s Ford at Hickory Valley Baptist Church in a ceremony June 3 at 10 a.m., and reads: “On November 4, 1863, to divert Federal forces from Chattanooga, Confederate Gen. James Longstreet led two reinforced divisions from the city to attack Union

K N O X V I L L E

On November 4, 1863, to divert Federal forces from Chattanooga, Confederate Gen. James Longstreet led two reinforced divisions from the city to attack Union Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside’s garrison in Knoxville.

Burnside confronted Longstreet outside Knoxville, then withdrew to his fortifications on November 17, and Longstreet besieged the city. In Chattanooga, after Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s army defeated Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg’s forces at the end of the month, Grant ordered Gen. William T. Sherman to reinforce Burnside.

As Sherman marched toward Knoxville, Longstreet withdrew on December 4. Sherman soon rejoined Grant.

Walker’s Ford, about three miles northeast of here, was of strategic importance during the Civil War, and Union and Confederate forces clashed there late in 1863.

As Union Gen. William T. Sherman and his army approached Knoxville from Chattanooga, Gen. Orlando B. Willcox ordered his cavalry to pressure Confederate Gen. James Longstreet’s forces from the north Walker’s Ford You Are★ Here to support Sherman.

The health insurance quandry Let’s start by agreeing that I know almost nothing about the mandatory health insurance plan commonly called Obamacare.

Call it the fallacy of “free” journalism. Readers get the research that you’ve paid for. But we compensate for our lack of knowledge with passion and strongly held convictions.

Almost 100 percent of folks around here are against Obamacare. Just ask them.

I believe: ■ The current system is unsustainable.

Hospitals and doctors can’t provide free care to people who cannot pay, yet they can’t turn them away. So their costs are passed along to those with insurance.

■ Businesses cannot afford ever-increasing health insurance premiums. Ask the automakers. Labor costs including benefits put American companies at competitive disadvantage in a global economy, pushing jobs offshore.

■ People should take responsibility for their own health and healthcare.

Do these beliefs put me in the camp of Obamacare?

I don’t know.

Let’s bring it home. Do you know that Union County Public Schools pays a substantial “match” for health insurance for both individual and family coverage (which can reach $1,000 per month), yet does not offer a match to non-certified staff such as cafeteria workers, aides, secretaries and custodians?

Sandra Clark

Our community must find equitable answers for tough questions. Even if it means reading up on the Affordable Health Care for America Act sometime before it kicks in.

Getting paid The insurance is available to all, but without a match to the lowest paid employees. This won’t be tolerated when Obamacare kicks in and could cost the school system a half million dollars a year, according to estimates of one school board member. Nobody knows for sure.

County Commissioner Joyce Meltabarger understands and has lobbied for more equitable treatment.

She works as a para-professional in special education at Maynardville Elementary School where she sees co-workers who desperately need health insurance.

“I’m not talking about myself,” she says. “I’ve got health insurance. But I’m talking about those single moms with children. Because health insurance is offered but they’re not taking it, their kids are not eligible for TennCare. Yet the monthly premium is as much as some of them make.”

A 40-hour worker at $9 per hour grosses $360 per week. That’s before taxes, FICA, food and shelter.

It’s not enough to holler, “No, no, no!” to Obamacare.

Eddie Mannis, founder and CEO of Prestige Cleaners, says getting paid has always been a priority, but he also is all about customer service.

He learned early that some customers can’t tell the difference between dry cleaners, but everyone knows good customer service.

Mannis is leaving city government where he has served as a deputy mayor, to return to Prestige. He is best known for bringing HonorAir to Knoxville.

HMMS bids The school board has decided it must take bids for work at the new media center at Horace Maynard Middle School. Once Freddie Brasfield donated $50,000 in memory of Shirley Collins, the money must be treated as public money, thus requiring a bid. (See ads in this issue.)

Chip Brown, project coordinator, could leverage $50,000 with donations of labor and materials to get an amazing outcome. Hopefully, the bidders will be respectful of Brasfield’s donation and the need for the expanded media center at the middle school.

Bid low, folks!

Country music star Lois Johnson celebrated a birthday May 15 in a big way.

Friends and family showed up at Golden Corral on Clinton Highway to treat Lois to a surprise birthday party. Her uncle Van Butcher, her mother’s brother, helps to look after Lois who now has some health issues – especially painful arthritis. She lives at an assisted living residence near Nashville and also near where her uncle lives.

The Johnson and Butcher cousins were there en masse as well as some pretty high-ranking entertainers – Doyle Lawson of Quicksilver, Paul Williams of the Victory Trio, David West of

Bonnie Peters

Ciderville and others. David brought Lois a little guitar which all the guests signed to remind her of them and the birthday celebration.

Lois’ cousin C. J. Morgan, who also has done lots of caregiving for Lois, coordinated the party. C. J. has met a new love through her work as a Dolly Parton impersonator and will soon be moving to Las Vegas where she will be appearing with

her new husband, who is a Jack Nicholson impersonator. C. J. will be getting married in Wisconsin in her home church so her parents can attend.

Bill Waddell, manager of station WLAF in LaFollette, brought a DVD of some Porter Wagoner shows on which Lois made guest appearances. Lois looked to be about 40 at the time and belted out such hits as “Come on in and Let Me Love You” and “Loving You will Never Grow Old.” Van Butcher has promised to send all the attendees a CD of some of Lois’ best songs.

Happy Birthday to Lois and all good wishes to C. J. and her soon-to-be-husband.

UNION COUNTY Shopper news • JUNE 1, 2013 • 5 get a raise. He is excellent at sales. Fans have scrambled onto the band wagon.

Ol’ Vols have offered endorsements. Prospective players have demonstrated keen interest. This is very encouraging.

As good as it looks in the preceding paragraph, none of this will make much difference at Oregon. Outsider enthusiasm and two more verses of Rocky Top probably won’t scare the Gators or alarm the Crimson Tide.

Insider enthusiasm might affect some games.

If the Volunteers really do work hard at getting better this summer and if they stay healthy and if they believe miracles are possible, Tennessee might upset somebody big.

That is essentially what Dave Hart said as he patted himself on the back for hiring Butch Jones. He said these Vols are now capable of overachieving.

If it happens, blame it on Butch. He brought a believable plan, brick by brick he calls it, with an emphasis on accountability. He hired good help, people he knew and could count on without wasting time double-checking to determine which assignments were completed.

Jones’ assistants may, in fact, turn out to be among the most functional units.

There are recruiting maniacs in the group. Tireless.

Relentless.

Going only on what I hear, I am impressed. Go-

ing on what he has seen and heard, so is the athletic director.

Hart says what Jones has done is gratifying, even exciting. His first choice of words to describe the coach is “passionate.”

That’s good enough.

Passion had to be part of Jones’ previous success.

He has never had overwhelming talent in great numbers. He still doesn’t.

After what we’ve been through, even guarded optimism is refreshing in Big Orange Country. I have decided to join the movement.

I’m in – with one out clause.

How long I stay will eventually be determined by wins and losses.

Those experiences

were all but overwhelming.

However, to truly walk in the way of the Cross is to follow Jesus, day by day.

It is to be obedient to His way, to be willing to give up one’s own will and way, and to become, step by step, like Him. It is to follow, to give, to obey, to suffer, and to die if need be.

One who walks with Christ is never alone.

Walking with Christ, we learn about him. We also learn things about ourselves we wish we did not have to know.

The Crossway is a crossroads. It is where we are called upon to make choices, to turn our faces in one direction or another, and to hold steady.

Standing in the Crossway calls us to be true wit-

nesses to Christ. It is an opportunity for growth and for blessing. It is also a risk.

Standing in the Crossway can be lonely, confusing, dangerous and sad.

Standing in the Crossway may mean standing alone, being faithful even when Christ seems very far away.

Standing in the Crossway means bearing the criticisms of those who do not understand, those who disagree, those who scoff.

It is the Way of the Cross. It is a path our Lord has walked. It is a place He took a stand on our behalf.

It is the very least we can do. We each have to find our own way, our own place, our own Golgotha.

Where will you stand in the Crossway?

OK, I’m in

Among very valuable readers are those who, from time to time, offer guidance and coaching tips on how to write these tales of Tennessee. Email address at the bottom invites commentary.

I appreciate assistance.

I sometimes disagree, but I try to remember to be polite and say thank you.

In early December, one reader in particular scoffed at Butch Jones’ “dream job” comment. He is still scoffing. He says UT may have been “a” dream job, considering where the coach had been, but not “the” dream job.

Marvin West

His argument has merit: If Alabama, Florida, Michigan and Notre Dame had extended simultaneous job offers and the pay was comparable, Tennessee would have finished fifth in Jones’ dream.

Another reader had a lot to say about Butch bringing the “best” coaching staff in America. Much of it came

down I-75 from Cincinnati.

This reader had never heard of Mike Bajakian and couldn’t pronounce his name. He had heard of Willie Martinez and John Jancek and remembered how bad was their Georgia defense and the exact date they were fired.

I acknowledged the messages and moved on.

To tell you the truth, blind optimists are more fun than skeptical realists.

In winning his first six months at Tennessee, Butch Jones has performed as if this really is his chance of a lifetime. I do believe he is pleased to be the coach at Tennessee.

That is heartwarming.

NEWS ABOUT UNION COUNTY’S FARM FAMILIES

Companion animals: ‘Going to the dogs’

By Emmaline Perry This article will leave kids “begging” for more because we are going to the dogs!

My name is Emmaline Perry. I’m in the Smoky Mountain Home-school 4-H program in Maynardville.

One of my projects has been Companion animals.

I have three dogs, two cats and a hamster myself.

During this past year I have had the opportunity to volunteer and conduct an after-school Companion Animal class. We have had a blast. Each week has brought us something new, educational and loads of fun.

The first week I gave a speech to the class of 4th and 5th grade students titled: Companion Animals/ Animal Abuse and Preven-

tion. I introduced all the kids to my hamster, TimmyTom, for a demonstration, and we played dog games, learned about different dog breeds, we even ate like dogs.

Another meeting was a blast when the Union County Sheriff’s Office brought in three of their search and rescue bloodhounds. Different students hid in various

places inside the school and the dogs sniffed them out!!

We had an exciting time when Mary Morgan and Alison Risen brought in an Airedale Terrier and demonstrated various training techniques and dog training tools and informed us of different working dog assistance programs.

One of the highlights was when the Union County

Humane Society brought a Great Pyrenees that was available for adoption. He was the sweetest dog and very fortunate to have been rescued by the Union County Humane Society.

We learned the importance of spaying and neutering. Everyone decided to volunteer at the Humane Society. We participated in a dog safety training course.

We all need to know how to approach a dog on or off a leash. We should know how to react when approached by a stray animal and learn different types of body language that dogs display.

This has been a wonderful experience for me, and I have enjoyed watching the students learn and have fun. I hope that through these kinds of educational classes students will walk away with a memorable experience, essential skills, and can apply and share all they learn with their families and friends as well as other students.

Increasing our knowledge and improving our skills will help us make better decisions, become responsible pet owners, and practice being good citizens in our community.

Divorce is a difficult and painful process for most people, even if they are able to get along. It is very hard for the children involved.

In Tennessee, the law requires divorcing parents with minor children to take at least four hours of classes about parenting through divorce. The purpose is to help parents understand that, when it is safe, both parents need to spend time with their children after divorce. Also, parents need to work together to plan for their children’s care.

■ yelling in front of the children, and ■ fighting in front of the children.

The “Parenting Apart: Effective Co-Parenting” class appears to have helped divorcing parents to focus on their children’s needs as they have gone through divorce.

Info: Rebecca Hughes, 992-8038. The classes are offered 9-1 the last Tuesday each month. The remaining dates for 2013 are: May 28, June 25, July 29 (Monday), Aug. 27, Sept. 24, Oct. 29, Nov. 26 and Dec. 31.

On Thursday, June 13, the annual UT Beef and Forage Field Day will focus on ways to help beef cattle producers manage their production costs. The event is hosted by the UT East Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center and UT Extension Eastern Region. It is being held in conjunction with the East Tennessee Angus Association Field Day. Attendees can hear UT experts address production and management issues including surveying forage stands and renovating pastures, the use of Eastern gamagrass, marketing livestock as related to weather issues, fencing laws, and how supplemental feeding can affect bovine fetal development.

Additional discussions will cover the effect of delaying castration, organic burial of large animals and growing trees for biomass.

Activities will begin with registration and a trade show at 7:30 a.m. Coffee and biscuits will be available.

A youth program will be presented concurrent to the main program, and both programs will conclude with a sponsored lunch. The luncheon speaker will be Lou Nave, executive direc-

Humbled at Arlington

By Libby Morgan

Kelsey Holt, Hannah Groot and Genna Bradshaw, students at Big Ridge Elementary School, celebrate the 4th annual Pink Out Day.

Pink Out raises funds to fight cancer Students and staff at Big Ridge Elementary School celebrated the 4th annual Pink Out Day on May 17.

Pink Out Day began after kindergarten teacher Jeanie Bowling was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Students and staff wear pink or white in honor of

Ms. Jeanie, have a bake sale to raise money, and watch faculty participate in fun and games.

This year’s festivities followed the “Minute to Win It” game show theme. Faculty and a few brave parents competed against each other in hilarious, fast-paced games such as bobblehead, elephant march and nose dive.

Students had a wonderful time cheering on their favorite teachers. The money raised benefits the East Tennessee Cancer Relay for Life and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Thanks to everyone who helped make the day a success. With evJeanie Bowling (sitting) with eryone’s help, let’s find a friends Tomara Groot (left) cure!

Chiropractic at the Super Bowl Chiropractic Outlook

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC When the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers squared off at Super Bowl XLVII in February, the teams brought their ‘A’ games to New Orleans.

They also brought their team chiropractors. Just about all professional sports organizations and athletes recognize the benefit of having their bodies in proper alignment before a competition. And professionals from motocross and bull riders, to NFL players and golfers get relief after the competition from chiropractors. The chiropractors aim to ensure that athletes’ joints and limbs are functioning at maximum capacity, for optimal performance on game day.

Chiropractors who work with NFL teams said players will generally get adjusted the night before the game. Overall, the Professional Footbal Chiropractic Society estimates that during the course of the 16-game regular season, NFL team chiropractors administer between 16,000 and 27,000 treatments to the members of the league’s 32 teams.

The Ravens, of course, won the big game 34-31. If elite professional athletes recognize what a chiropractic tune-up can do for their already highly-tuned bodies, think what a chiropractic adjustment might do for your game, whatever it may be.

Friday after Mother’s Day we buried our mother.

Words cannot do justice to witnessing a military funeral at Arlington. We knew it was going to be the experience of a lifetime.

Mary Elizabeth Rivero Morgan, better known as Bebe, was ahead of her time. After growing up in Tampa and Havana, she graduated from Florida State College for Women in Tallahassee (now FSU) just when World War II was getting serious.

Both our parents were WWII veterans, Daddy seeing action at sea as a navigator and a captain of Coast Guard ships, and Momma staying stateside as a cadet ensign lieutenant in the SPARs (based on the Coast Guard motto: “Semper Paratus – Always Ready), the Coast Guard Women’s Reserve.

She trained at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., and entered active service in December 1943. (It would be 30 more years before women were accepted at the academy as regular college-level students.)

Our father, Carey Carlisle Morgan Jr., graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 1940 as an engineer, but the two didn’t meet until they were both on the west coast celebrating the end of the war.

His ashes were placed at Arlington more than 20 years ago.

My mother’s urn and the flag were carried on a caisson to the Columbarium.

Photos by Libby Morgan

Precision is the operative word in any military ceremony, and even the draft horses pulling the caisson matched perfectly. Momma’s urn was placed inside the flag-draped coffin, along with her flag, and we solemnly followed on foot.

The weather was exquisite.

The flag bearers, a bugler, the guard of honor, seven service members for the volley of shots, the casket team flanking the caisson, the chaplain, the Arlington Lady – a contingent, altogether, of about 40 men and women in uniform, outnumbered our family group by four to one.

Our final walk with Bebe was humbling. I felt I should concentrate on her memory, but the sights and sounds of our procession and the surrounding grounds of the vast cemetery pulled

my thoughts into the present. The blessing of a loving family: my sister, nephew, children, grandsons and daughter-in-law accompanying me in honoring my mother overwhelmed me.

After the eulogy, the folding of the flag by six service members was executed with perfect precision and was fascinating to watch.
