By Libby Morgan Dave Whaley and Tomica Miller are heroes to the descendants of the Bait Ousley family, who lived in a brick Federal-style home built Sister and brother Mildred Ousley Lynch and R. T. Ousley, who were born in in Sharps Chapel in 1835. Bill Gann, whose great grandthe house, with his son Ted “Gunner” Ousley are framed by the front door mother lived there in 1880, visopening. ited the place about 25 years ago and says, “It was really run down … kinda scary. This couple is doing an enormous amount of work to the place. In restoring a house this size you gotta have energy and dedication. They took off every brick you see and learned how to recreate the mortar.” “We bought the house and a mobile home at the same time,
and spent five years to get the back part of the house livable,” says Whaley. “Copper gutters, floors, windows, electrical, plumbing, and three porches, and we’ve got it licked. It’ll take another five years.” Gann comments: “When it’s done it will be magnificent.” “My mom would be tickled pink,” says Ousley descendant Laurie Mix. “She visited her grandparents here and had many wonderful memories of spending time in this house.” The home was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 in an effort to save it, but the family didn’t have the time or the means to take on a project of this scope. When Whaley offered to buy it with plans to restore it, the Ousleys gladly sold the house and land to him. The Ousley family was in Knoxville for their big gathering, and a drive to the Bait Ousley house was the featured field trip. Whaley halted restoration work for a day to host the many visitors who were pleased and amazed at the progress.

Golfers raise funds for scholarships By Marilyn Toppins
A cool, crisp, blackberry winter air greeted golfers at the 22nd Union County Business and Professional Scholarship Golf Tournament, but the warm laughter of goodhearted rivalries coupled with hot coffee warmed the morning at Three Ridges. As the morning mist gave way to sporadic sunbursts, anticipation mounted for who would putt for the chance to win $4,000 on the putting green. The suspense ended when Chris Ayers shot a hole-in-one.
But Ayers missed the big money by inches. Plainview City and Collins Insurance challenged Cooper Container with “We’re comin’ after you!” Cooper Container, who has been a supporter and usually the winner of the tournament for several years, just laughed and welcomed the competition.

Clay Worthley had just left the building.
The Lincolns brought to life The name “Mary Todd Lincoln” is a twentieth century invention. She called herself – and signed documents – Mary Lincoln. This is just one of many facts, anecdotes and stories about Abe and Mary Lincoln that Carole Norman, her husband Phil, and their grandsons shared at the Maynardville Senior Center. Carole portrayed the “sad but triumphant” life of Mary Lincoln, who not only lost her husband, but grieved the loss of three of her four sons before she died. “When Mary lost her son Willy at age 11, she went into mourning and never went out. And 10 years after Abe was assassinated, she went insane,” says Carole. “But when Abe died, Mary was glad he didn’t know about the $20,000 of debt she had gotten them into. Seed pearls were her favorite jewelry.” Phil, with a fake beard and wearing the Lincoln hat and coat, was characteristically stoic but offered a few comments in a “Lincoln voice” during Carole’s presentation. Six-year-old Matthew Curtin explained and demonstrated why the fourth Lincoln son, Thomas, was called Tadpole: “Because he wiggled so much!” The Normans are celebrating their 47th wedding anniversary and Phil’s 50th year as an ordained minister this month. They live in Maynardville. Carole calls herself “a last resort substitute teacher” for Union County schools: “They call me when a teacher wakes up with a sick kid and there’s no one else available. I absolutely love it, but with me being in this chair and at 71 years of age, I’m not able to teach very often.” Carole is a polio survivor and taught school in Memphis, Atlanta and Florida for 40 years. ■

Steve Eulberg, a resident of California, was in Maryville attending an internationally-known workshop led by Steve Kaufman, one of the world’s best flatpickers, and Morgan convinced him to come to Maynardville while he was so close. Eulberg and Morgan have developed a friendship through their common talent on the dulcimer, and they’ve met up more than once in Kansas at the National Mountain Dulcimer Championship. (That’s the
one Morgan won in 2012, when she was only 17.) Eulberg is an internationally known musician with a warm sense of humor. He performed inspiring original and traditional songs for a handful of us inside Union County Arts. He played the guitar, the mountain and hammered dulcimers, a Clemm-bro and a banjammer. The point is, Sarah Morgan continues to bring top-
notch performers who already are, or will soon be, known and appreciated all over the world. If you miss another one, it’s no one’s fault but your own. ■

I am currently seeking election for Maynardville City Council. I have lived in Maynardville all my life and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I feel that our community is a good place to make a home and raise a family. With the expansions of Maynardville Highway, our city has a great potential to grow and expand also. In that growth, I feel we need to concentrate on increasing public safety and increasing recreation for our children. The city, as a whole, needs changes and I would like to be a part of those changes. As a representative of the citizens of Maynardville, I hope to always keep their concerns foremost in my mind, research issues presented to the council and follow my heart. I am not above asking questions of my fellow citizens or hearing suggestions of concerned citizens on issues. My husband Danny and I have three children and two grandchildren. I have worked as a dispatcher for Union County Sheriff ’s Department since 2002, switching over to Union County 911 in 2006. I work closely with all emergency services in our county and also communicate well with citizens who are in need of help. I greatly appreciate the work and dedication of those who have served on City Council in the past and I look forward to the opportunity to join their ranks and work to make Maynardville an even greater place to live. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

Crowds and squeaks
Sometimes the greatest lessons in life don’t come from organized educational institutions but from close friends and neighbors. Ten years ago this month my mother passed away. About 11 p.m. on the night of her funeral I had the joy of walking home one of my neighbors who had been so helpful in the kitchen. As we walked arm in arm across the darkened back yards, she said, “Lord, Ronnie, Ms. Mincey sure did have a nice funeral. She’d be plumb tickled if she could have seen all them purty flowers. You know, when Momma died she’d been sick so long and hadn’t been able to get out that everybody’d just about forgot her. “Lord, Ronnie, let’s stay in church so we’ll have a crowd at our funeral.” Any sadness I had at the loss of my mother was momentarily forgotten in the hilarity of the moment. This memory of a dear friend who used her natural talent of humor to soothe my grief is a treasure I’ll take to my own grave. While it was with sadness that I attended that friend’s funeral this June 7, she continued to comfort at her passing through the memory of many shared happy moments. That friend was Carol Lee Johnson Simmons. I have known Carol Lee practically my entire life. When we attended Maynardville Baptist, practically every Sunday morning during the opening prayer the hinges on those old one-inch solid maple doors would emit their telltale “squeak,” and when my head raised from the back row of the choir at the “Amen” there
Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME would come a most beautifully dressed Carol Lee through the vestibule doors. She was in every situation a most elegant lady. She and I were walking buddies one summer. She’d pick me up and drive us to Richardson Way to “walk” several laps. She was fast, saying that it didn’t benefit you if you didn’t walk fast to pump that blood. She’d stretch out her long legs and take off, and I’d be almost running behind just to keep up. I’d be sweating like a pig on the roaster while she hardly broke a sweat. All this time, she’d talk every breath without strain as I gasped for enough air to reply. Never during any of these marathons did she have one hair out of place. I admired and envied Carol Lee’s meticulousness. I was in her home several times, and never was anything out of place. Her yard and flowers were always beautifully maintained. Her car never seemed dirty. But the greatest thing about Carol Lee was her smile. I was never in her presence that she failed to amuse, and my fond wish is that I can be half as joyful to my remaining friends as Carol Lee was to me. Happily, Carol Lee had a crowd at her own funeral. I’m sure Heaven’s Pearly Gates gave a friendly “squeak” when Carol Lee went gliding through.
By Libby Morgan Candidates for sheriff were invited to the June meeting of the Union County Lions Club. Only Sheriff Earl “Junior” Loy showed up to speak. “Our department’s biggest hurdle is prescription drug abuse. There is no person anywhere that hasn’t been touched by this problem,” Loy said. “The Drug Task Force has just recently rounded up 16 drug traffickers in our county, but we prefer to keep these arrests quiet so as not to tip off the rest of them. “Pills are everywhere – they’re too easy to get, and the profit is tremendous.” So, how do people get the money for pills that cost $80 apiece?
“They steal from you and me,” says Loy. He also discussed the county’s need for a justice center. “Even though our jail is old and small, we’ve been able to take in and house model prisoners from state facilities. In two years, this has put an extra million dollars into the county budget. “Maybe after the election we can raise a discussion about building a new justice center.” The Lions were pleased with the proceeds from their Art on Main booth, where they sold Italian ice, and club president Ronnie Mincey said, “We want to thank Neva Kitts and Carol Pratt for putting us in such a

Is June too early to worry? What we have here is a dilemma. Not so long ago, a former head coach of college football stopped by Tennessee to see what he could see. He was impressed by the facilities. He said he certainly enjoyed the fellowship. He appreciated the intensity of spring practice but went away with concerns for his friends. “If you won’t use my name, I’ll tell you that I didn’t see the answer at quarterback. There were four but no obvious No. 1.” Without going into details, the coach said it is unlikely that all are brilliant. It is more likely that all are ordinary for different reasons. Some can do this but
Marvin West
can’t do that. The dilemma has changed but continues. Now there are three quarterbacks. The one with the most potential, the best arm, went away. For some strange reason, there was not widespread weeping. I thought Riley Ferguson was very promising but it seems he was unpredictable and an occasional irritant. He did not always fol-
low traditional quarterback form. He was inconsistent. I have no idea about the significance of those tattoos but he has talent. So do the remaining three – but there is no precise fit for the Butch Jones offense. There was no need for the visiting coach to explain that the quarterback dilemma is critical. Quarterbacks rarely win or lose games all by themselves but there is a clear correlation between performance and won-lost records. All teams with really good quarterbacks do not contend for championships but you seldom see the ordinary ones in title games. It seems to me that Coach
Missing pieces When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out of the window. So they threw her down; some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, which trampled on her. When they went to bury her, they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. When they came back and told him, he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, ‘In the territory of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel; the corpse of Jezebel shall be like dung on the field in the territory of Jezreel, so that no one can say, ‘This is Jezebel.’” (2 Kings 9: 30-37 NRSV) The things I learn from Strong’s Concordance of the Bible! I will get to Puzzle Manna in a moment, but bear with me while I regale you with tales of a pygarg! I had hauled out my Strong’s Concordance to see if the word puzzle was anywhere in the Bible (not!), only to discover that the last word in the “P” section of the Concordance was pygarg. (Could I make that
up?) The NRSV translates pygarg as “deer,” but you can find pygarg itself in the King James Version in Deuteronomy 14:5. And while we are digressing, I should mention that Strong’s Concordance is aptly named: one has to be “strong” to lift it from the shelf!

Jones and Mike Bajakian have a few weeks to work out a solution to this little problem. If Justin Worley is the best game manager, the coaches must somehow upgrade his arm and ability to run the zone-read – or they can concede that Joshua Dobbs is the answer. If that doesn’t work, they can give Nathan Peterman another chance under more favorable circumstances. It might be good to prepare a prayer. By the end of September, this dilemma, if unsolved, will be serious. Jones has said many times that he is looking for leadership, the so-called alpha male. It will be interesting to see if he finds one. The best part of this team, bold improvement at wide receiver, obviously depends on quarterbacks for
functionality. Quarterbacks obviously depend on blocking for survival. A better running game would reduce double-teams in the secondary. Offense is all tied together but it starts at QB. This is an improbable time for great expectations at Tennessee, no matter who emerges. There are too many depth problems and not enough experience at the line of scrimmage. But the Vols do need to demonstrate improvement to maintain momentum. Last winter, recruiters could sell the future. They did it with vigor. Results were superior. Next winter, rivals will whisper to prospects, even commitments, that they should ask when they can expect the future to arrive. Good question.
For various reasons, the immediate past may not be a fair barometer but it is a matter of fact that the Vols have had four consecutive losing seasons. Additional facts: Quarterbacks delivered more interceptions in 2013 than touchdowns. Their passerefficiency rating of 105.48 was slightly above awful. Ferguson didn’t do it. Can we expect improvement? Of course. Coaches are paid a lot to do a lot of coaching. Considering that the legendary Jon Gruden made an appearance, quarterbacks have undoubtedly progressed. The next question is whether it will be enough to make a noticeable difference. Is June too early to worry?
fore starting to work on the puzzle. It seemed a matter of noblesse oblige to have every last piece separated, so that every piece had to be put in its place. To leave pieces together seemed to be cheating! And then, one day, I was starting a puzzle, carefully pulling apart the pieces, when I stopped, and thought, “Well, this is silly! Why not accept it as a gift? Manna, if you will? A gift from heaven?” I have now added “together-puzzle-pieces” to my list of blessings in this world, albeit somewhere farther down the list than forgiveness, and long friendships, and Fanny Crosby’s hymns. (Missing puzzle pieces are another matter altogether!) And speaking of missing puzzle pieces, it occurs to me that the Bible does have one impossible puzzle. Jezebel (whose name shall forevermore be synonymous with bad girls) was thrown down into the street from an upper story window, at
King Jehu’s command. Afterward, he said, “See to that cursed woman and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.” However, the Bible tells us that when they went to
bury her, they could find no more than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. The king decreed that the dogs should eat her remains, “So that no one can say, ‘This is Jezebel.’”

Just reach up under a branch like this and wiggle your fingers to get a handful of luscious fat berries from the blueberry bushes at Seven Springs Farm on Hwy. 61, just a mile or two east of downtown Maynardville.
Billions of blueberries By LLibby By ib ibby bby b M Morgan orga or gan ga n Ma Maynardville M ayy nardviil ille ffarmers armers Rick and Donna Don onna na Riddle R iddle and their son, James, are celebrating the blueberry this month … and the squashes, the tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuces, eggplant, potatoes and herbs and tons more at their “Farm to Table” business, Seven Springs. An acre of bushes are loaded with big blueberries, and they are delicious. Pick your own sessions are offered through June on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. “We must know ahead of time when our pick-yourown customers are com-
because weather, heavy ing, in g, b g, ecau ec ause au s w se eath ther her,, heav h he eav avyy picking pick pi ckiing ck ing and and business busi bu sin si ness ess conditionss can affect our hours hou ours rs and our crops,” says Donna. “Call us at 865-803-8333.” There’s a lot more in the works for the Riddle family. Their building at the front of the main growing fields is coming along nicely, where they plan to have the tanks and equipment set up to begin fermenting wine in the fall. More Angus cattle are fattening up on the hillside next to fields of hundreds of new grapevine starts. Hay is cut and drying, hay so thick it has had to be turned a couple of times to get dry enough to bale. “I have to attribute that

His explanation is much more thorough than this, and goes over characteristics of all three of the main components of plants’ needs. The Riddles expect to have plenty of beef to sell at the seven weekly farmers markets they set up at in the area: On Tuesday at Ebenezer Methodist Church in West Knoxville; on Wednesday at Market Square and UT; on Thursday at New Harvest Park; Friday at Lakeshore Park and downtown Maynardville from 4-7
p.m.; and on Saturday back at Market Square. And recently they have added pork, locally-grown in New Market by Bill Loy, to their offerings. The Riddles approve of Loy’s methods of feeding and Jim Riddle is harvesting summer squash from huge plants. raising the hogs, and they buy the animals and have all of their pork and beef processed without preservatives and flash frozen at a USDA-inspected facility in Greeneville. “Our new crop of beef tastes even better than last year’s,” says Donna. (If that’s even possible, says this writer!) The family will be hauling their harvests to the markets, where they’ve created a following with the hard work and mindful care in growing fresh food for your table.
Taking advantage of the vertical space in the “hightop” greenhouse are these PVC pipes with irrigation and growing medium, where Jim is successfully experimenting with spinach and lettuce. Photos by Libby Morgan

Meet the interns! By Ruth White Charlie Hamilton is a rising 9th grader at Union County High School. If he had a time machine, Charlie would go into the future to see how his life would turn Hamilton out. He likes photography and his favorite thing about Knoxville is downtown. When asked what he would try to save if his house were burning, Charlie said he would make sure his family was safe and then get his pictures and medals (he is a second degree, level three black belt). Joshua Mode will be in the 10th grade at Halls High and is a member of the marching band. If he could have lunch with one celebrity, living or dead, Joshua would like to meet Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If he had
a time machine, Joshua would like to go back to the 1950s and show off the technology of this era. If stranded on a deserted island, he Mode would like to have Nicki Minaj’s new album, the book “Imaginalis” and a couch for sleeping. Leila Hennon will be a 9th grader at West High this fall. She lives in Halls and loves World’s Fair Park. If possible, Leila would like to have lunch with Adam Levine and Hennon if she could go back in time she would like to see the fall of Rome. In her free time, Leila enjoys volunteering at the art center. If
her house were burning, she would grab her teddy bear and make sure her brother was safe. Donna Mitchell is a rising 11th grader at West High School. She enjoys w r iting and would like to have lunch with Anderson Cooper one day. If she could go Mitchell back in time she would like to experience the 1970s. If she were stranded on a deserted island she would want to take along “A Tale of Two Cities,” the song “Rumble and Sway” by Jamie N. Commons and soap. Julia Grant will be in the 9th grade at Central High in the fall. She lives in Fountain City and loves downtown Knoxville. She enjoys singing and playing the guitar and if she could go back in time she would like to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech. Julia likes photog-
raphy and if her house were on fire, she would save a picture of herself and her grandmother, a picture of her greatgrandfather and Grant her greatgrandmother’s necklace. Zoe Risely is a rising 9th grader at West High. She lives in Bearden and loves Market Square dow ntow n. If she could have lunch with a celebrity, she would pick Risely John Lennon and if she could go back in time it would be to Woodstock. Zoe is very talented and has been in a short film for a contest, sang at her mother’s wedding and enjoys rock climbing. If her house were on fire she would grab her ukulele, writing journal and songbook.

Family:
For our first day at Shopper-News, the interns traveled to Maynardville where Gene Patterson was interviewing the Apple Butter Boys to learn how they make their delicious treat. They were very humble, saying each jar of apple butter sold, supports a pair of new shoes for local kids. Patterson talks to and befriends everyone before they even start recording. The camera operator fi xes the lighting to be ideal for the area and then the process begins.

They get multiple shots of every scene and step to make sure it turns out perfect. They take each shot “step by step,” said Gene. He watched along and studied the subject so when it came to the interview he had some great questions to ask and great ideas for camera shots. Afterward, Gene was willing to answer some of our questions and was very positive and excited about his job and our enthusiasm to learn. The trip was a great and unique experience that I will never forget.

Handle luggage safely Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, nearly 54,000 luggagerelated injuries occurred in the U.S. in 2012. Here are some tips on how to prevent injury: Try to travel light, but if you have to pack a load, distribute it among at least two bags. It’s a lot easier to handle two lighter bags than it is to wrestle one heavy, awkward bag. As with any heavy lifting, you should bend at the knees and lift luggage with your leg muscles. Don’t bend
at the waist and lift with your back muscles. Carry luggage as close to your body as possible. When putting luggage into an overhead compartment, first make sure your feet are positioned so that you don’t have to twist your body while lifting. Then lift the bag onto the top of the seat. With your hands situated on the left and right sides of the baggage, lift it up. If your luggage has wheels – and when buying luggage that is a feature you want – make sure the wheel side goes into the
compartment first. Once the wheels are in, push the luggage to the back of the compartment. Be sure to hold the bag close to your body when lifting. And if you’re having trouble with the bag, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Talk with your chiropractor about other steps you can take to make sure you arrive at your destination pain-free. Brought to you as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, TN; 992-7000.
Several dozen veterans, Boy Scout Troop 401 and other patriotic citizens gathered at the VFW in Maynardville to retire worn out flags in a touching ceremony on Flag Day. The flags themselves were veterans, flying in the wind so long that they were frayed and tattered. Commander Bill Rollins spoke reverently of the meaning of the flag, and pastor Phil Norman led an invocation. The scouts, with leaders Linda Myers and Bill Collins, after leading the Pledge of Allegiance, handed out about 30 flags and everyone in attendance was given the opportunity to place one in the fire. Each veteran, after dropEveryone, including Jeff Brantley (standing), took the opportu- ping a folded flag into the nity to shake the hand of the oldest veteran at the ceremony, flames, stood and saluted in Burney Hutchison, two days before his 90th birthday. tribute.
