Union County Commission considered filing ouster lawsuits against District 4 Commissioner Dennis Nicley and two constables: Darrell W. Beeler of District 6 and Chad Faulkner of District 7. District 4 is the Big Ridge area of Union County, also represented by Commissioner Dawn Flatford. District 6 is Paulette, and District 7 is Plainview. The commission discussed the matter Aug. 10, following reports that Nicley, Beeler and Faulkner had moved out of the districts they were elected to serve. Commissioners also mentioned that Nicley has been absent from meetings. County Attorney David Myers quoted state law, saying that residence in the district from which they were elected is a requirement of holding office in these cases. For commissioners, the law also states that they must attend “each and every meeting.” Myers said that an ouster lawsuit would be required to remove

Jamia Long judged the chickens in each breed category. Grand Champions and Reserve Grand Champions received cash awards. Then, Darrell Dyer of Dyer Auction and Realty auctioned the chickens in pens of six. The highest-selling pen sold for $23 per bird.

Commission may oust Nicley, two constables By Shannon Carey
Blair’s Creek flood
➤
Asking Horace Maynard Middle School student Aaron Clapp what he likes about the 4-H Chick Chain made a bystander rub his thumb and fingers together in the universal sign for money. And he was right. Teaching the valuable skill of raising and selling livestock is what the 4-H Chick Chain is all about. Each spring, 4-H students may put down a deposit for 15 or 25 baby chicks, promising to bring six of the grown hens back for auction in the fall. After the hens are judged and auctioned, the 4-Hers get their deposits back and get to keep the remaining hens. With farm-fresh eggs selling for $2 to $3 a dozen, that’s a great deal. Aaron, a two-time Chick Chain participant, said the hardest part about raising his chickens this year was training them to use a roost pole. Marissa Hickman has done the Chick Chain for four years now. She’s grown up on a farm and plans on having her own farm when she’s an adult. For her, the hardest

Nicley, Beeler or Faulkner from office, which could result in a trail. He offered to send a letter to each officeholder to gather information first. Beeler was the only one of the three in attendance. He said he thought that residing in the district was a requirement to run for office, not to retain the office. In reference to Nicley, Commissioner James Greene said, “Can we put in a resolution that if you don’t show up and do your job you don’t get paid?” Myers replied that state law prohibits diminishing an elected official’s salary during his or her elected term. “That’s why you have to file for ouster,” he said. “If somebody gets sick to where they can’t come to meetings for two or three months, we don’t want to toss them out because of that,” said Commissioner Gary England, suggesting that the commission adopt a system of excused and unexcused absences.
The commission unanimously approved a motion directing Myers to send letters to Nicley, Beeler and Faulkner asking that they contact him within 10 days to verify residence or face ouster. They also asked that he compose language for an attendance policy. Myers will report back during the Sept. 14 meeting. The commission will also take action to replace District 3 school board member Johnny Collins, who resigned over the summer. County Commission will fill the vacant seat, and the person they select will serve until the next general election. Myers quoted state law again, saying that the appointee must be “a resident and legal voter of the district, a citizen of recognized intelligence and integrity.” No County Commission members or current officeholders may be appointed, and the appointee must have at least a high school diploma or GED. Mayor Mike Williams said the commission “will take action of

some nature” in the Sept. 14 meeting. The commission considered a resolution sent by the state to counties with racetrack operations. The resolution gave commissioners the option to restrict the days and hours the racetracks can operate, what kind of cars are allowed, and more. County Clerk Pam Ailor said the resolution was presented at a meeting of all Tennessee County Clerks. Her understanding was that the resolution allowed counties to issue permits for racetracks, verifying whether the racetrack in question has adequate insurance. The permit fee was previously collected by the state, and covers the counties’ cost to process the permit. “We’re not in the racetrack business,” said England. On a motion by Mike Sexton and a second by R.L. Jones, the commission approved a motion to set the fee at $150, and only require that the racetrack have insurance to operate.

Mercier warns of identity theft By Shannon Carey Larry Mercier says that everybody needs some kind of identity theft protection, whether they shop online
or not. Only 17 percent of identity theft is due to credit cards. Most cases come from stolen Social Security numbers and medical records.
Mercier, representing Harvard Risk Management, spoke to members of the Union County Business and Professional Association Aug. 11. “It takes 10 seconds for somebody to steal it, and it might take you 10 years to recover,” he said. Mercier said LegalShield, a prepaid legal services program, offers identity theft protection, including com-

Cooper cooks with love By Shannon Carey Stepping into Teresa Cooper’s bakery will start your mouth watering and your tummy rumbling. Rich smells of baked goodies fill the air, and Cooper’s more than 300 themed cake pans hang in neatly ordered rows, alphabetically, from the ceiling. Cooper has been attending the Union County Farmers Market with her fresh-baked goods for four years. She also attends the Norris Farmers Market on Mondays and the New Harvest Park Farmers Market in Knoxville on Thursdays. She gets a lot of repeat business, and if she gets to know your tastes she’ll be sure to bring your favorites. “You get to actually talk to people,” she said. “They’re all very friendly. You make a lot of friends.” Good cooking is a family tradition for Cooper. She learned the skill from her grandmother and other relatives. “Nothing pleased my grandmother more than to have a houseful of people to cook for,” she said. “I’ve just always loved doing it.” When she was 10 years old, Cooper took a cake decorating class with her Girl Scout troop. “Since then, I’ve been all about baking cakes,” she said. “I started just doing it for family and friends, and it just kept going.” After she graduated from Horace Maynard High School, Cooper took classes at the former Gingerbread Shop in Fountain City. Teresa’s Bakery in Maynardville got its start in 1995, when Cooper remodeled her two-car garage and family room to make space for a professional kitchen and storefront. Cooper is fine with custom orders and can accommodate allergies. She has a recipe for egg-free birthday cakes and even takes loaves of nut-free banana nut bread to the Farmers Market for a

opinion A goodly heritage If I were asked to what America owes its past successes, I would say public schools and churches. Both were for years powerhouses of teaching faith and values. This was minimized in public schools by legal interpretations of the separation of church and state. This put an even more important mission on churches to teach values and morals. This is an awesome task, as school attendance is mandatory during formative years and church participation is always voluntary. Changes in American society and culture during the past half century resulted in more and more opportunities for participation in non-church related activities. I feel fortunate to have had good training in morals and values both in public school and the Baptist church. Many Godly men and women in both organizations helped me realize the truth of Psalms 16:6, “The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.” The first pastors I remember at Maynardville Baptist Church are the Revs. Robert Hollingsworth and Jack Spencer. I was very young and only have an impression of their kindliness. I remember the Rev. Ben H. Knisley better. Maynardville Baptist decided in the early 1970s to build a parsonage and hire a fulltime “man in the field.” The Rev. Knisley was an older gentleman who was missing some fingers on one hand – this endeared him to me as my brother Jerry suffered a similar loss due to a work accident. Ben Knisley was a visiting preacher. He visited my teachers at Maynardville Elementary. He visited my

Ronnie Mincey home several times. He managed to get my father, who was unchurched at the time, to attend services with us. Unfortunately, this didn’t last, as the Rev. Knisley obviously “stepped on his toes.” Dad said, “That preacher pointed straight at me when he said that,” whatever “that” was. There was a time when Dad was in the hospital, and Mother went during the day to stay with him. I had mumps, and Aunt Lidia stayed at home with me. At age seven mumps were like a vacation from school, and getting to spend the days with Aunt Lidia was the icing on the cake. Aunt Lidia was given to much study of the scriptures, and often she would let the fire in the Warm Morning heating stove go out. Her attempts to rebuild the fire failed but resulted in the entire floor being covered with ashes. This is how Preacher Knisley found us on one visit, and he was still there when Mother returned. Mother was so ashamed that the preacher found the house in such a mess. During my time of mumps I slept at night between Mother and Aunt Lidia. Neither had ever had mumps, and while elderly Aunt Lidia didn’t catch them. Mother did. Preacher Knisley visited us when my mother was in bed sick with mumps, though I failed to understand at age seven why the Rev. chose not to go into her sick room. More about Rev. Knisley next week.
Best practices on the golf course Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC You may golf for relaxation, but recognize that the sport puts great demands on the body, especially the lower back. Keep in mind that professional golfers like Tiger Woods have been regular chiropractic patients. So here are some best practices for you to keep in mind when you are on the links or preparing to go: • Buy equipment – including shoes, of course – that fit. Saving a few dollars on handme-down clubs that are not the right length for you is just looking for a back problem. • Warm up and stretch before and after you play, giving your trunk as much flexibility as possible. • Don’t carry your bag; pull it. Hauling a heavy bag around over one shoulder is a killer on the spine. • If you’re riding in a cart, leave the cart on the path sometimes and walk to the ball. The jostling in a cart is

not always good for the spine, either. • Every third hole or so, take a few swings with your opposite hand, just to keep your whole body involved in the game. • Whatever the sport, using the right technique is ultimately going to make you a better player and is going to lessen the likelihood of injury. So spend a few dollars and take some lessons. Get it right the first time. When you’re hitting the ball correctly, you’re going to put less strain on your back and the rest of your body. • Drink plenty of water during a round. Dehydration leads to fatigue and can affect your swing. Talk with your chiropractor about ways to stay limber. Presented as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, Tenn.; 992-7000.
In addition to the flood on Big Barren Creek, references are made to flooding on Blair’s Creek. Newspaper accounts say about 150 people lived along Blair’s Creek and that about 100 of those people were affected by the cloudburst and overflowing creek. Several years before the flood at the mill dam, the people who lived along the creek protested the building of the dam and a court suit was filed. The case proceeded to the Supreme Court. [I do not know if this was the Tennessee Supreme Court or the United States Supreme Court.] According to Mr. I. W. Moyers, this Supreme Court ruled the right to build the dam. It is my understanding that this was an earthen dam, and the people protesting felt that the dam was not correctly constructed and that it was unstable – which proved to be true. Some people estimated 12 to 15 inches of rain during the night. One mile of pike road was reported destroyed. The dam at John Thompson’s mill was built about 1908. The dam was constructed of stone and was about 100 feet long and 30 feet high. Steep hills or ridges were on each side of the dam, and it was said that the rushing waters mounted 30 to 40 feet high. The Clinch River is said to have risen to over 15 feet at Clinton. At that time the Clinch River was reported to be about 6 feet in the Clinton area. Water rose from Wednesday to Saturday, Aug. 6, 1916, when it began to recede. Debris along the flooded area was a problem as well. Bunk Ferguson was found alive but unconscious floating on a pile of drift. Conley McBee and his family who were believed to have died were found alive and safe. Fifteen bodies were found in the immediate vicinity and two others were found at Maynardville in Union
Part of an old newspaper clipping about the Barren Creek flood. You will note the newspaper gives the date of the flood as Aug. 8,1916; but several other accounts give the date as Aug. 3,1916. This piece also gave the first name of Mrs. Martha Johnson. The other accounts referred to her only as Mrs. Robert Johnson.
County. Three bodies were recovered from the Clinch River at Kingston. Judge Morrison and Col. Dan Swab headed a party for the stricken district’s relief work. To get to the area, people had to walk six to eight miles from the railroad at Tazewell because almost all of the roads were washed out. They could then make part of the remainder of the trip by horseback. The last stage of the trip through the rough hills had to be made on foot. By Friday, Aug. 5, the Southern Railway had trains running as far as Cumberland Gap four miles west of Tazewell. By the following Tuesday the trains were run-
ning to Middlesboro. Some of the rescue parties stayed through Tuesday night to try to recover and care for as many bodies as possible. Those who left to get a little sleep returned the next morning to continue their good works. On Thursday workers along the river bank pulled out the body of a little girl as they sadly had to watch others float past as workers were unable to bring them ashore. Two of Crockett Edmondson’s children, a daughter and a son, were found alive on drift timber about three miles downriver. Mrs. Edmondson and three children were drowned.
The only thing left of the Edmondsons’ two-story comfortable home were two posts that held the front gate. These were huge timbers firmly embedded in the ground. Mr. Edmondson took abode at the small home of a married son, and friends and family gathered there for comfort and to offer support. Laughter could not be heard. Sorrow hung over the community. Even many of those who escaped had no food, no clothes, no home and no work. Property damage rose to $150,000. Next time I will write about the personal testimony of Crockett Edmondson and his survival from this awful flood.

Best and worst of times
This Tennessee football team has the potential to do something significant. Oh no, it does not project as a participant in the national playoffs but it could win nine games. That would be the best since 2007, next to last season for Phillip Fulmer. These Volunteers could be precursors to really good times. If Butch Jones and his staff can coach as well as they recruit, this season will be one big step toward Southeastern Conference relevance, a future top 10 in the polls, even an occasional victory over Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The brick-by-brick building job was impressive. Now comes the harder part, going chin to chin with the big boys without backing or getting knocked down. Tennessee fans have waited impatiently for a return of the good, old days. Butch can only guess how it will be when that mission is officially accomplished. Keep in mind that I am only 81. I missed the first peak of the Neyland era and did not fully grasp Bob
Marvin West
Suffridge’s description of 1938-40, SEC champs, 31-2 overall, 15 consecutive games without permitting a point. This was the time of George Cafego, Bowden Wyatt and Ed Molinski, all, along with Suff, in the College Football Hall of Fame. I saw clearly 1950 and 1951, Doug Atkins, Hank Lauricella, John Michels, playing their way to the Hall, national champs, 21-2 overall. My view was unobstructed. It helped to have a cousin on the team. One year after Wyatt came as coach, the 1956 Volunteers were terrific. John Majors led the charge, perfect regular season, less perfect in the Sugar Bowl. I thought this was the launch of another dominant period. It wasn’t. The best of times turned into one of the
worst as Wyatt declined, the Vols sagged, Chattanooga staged an ungodly upset, single-wing tailbacks were hard to find and Ole Miss threw into the flat and exposed the 6-2-2-1 defense. Doug Dickey restored order. I still think Steve Kiner, Jack Reynolds and Jackie Walker were the best linebacker trio I have seen. That was 1969. Dickey went away. Bob Woodruff erred in choosing bright, young (very young) end coach Bill Battle as his replacement. Battle did fine with Dickey’s recruits. Those Vols thrashed Dickey’s first Florida team and walloped undefeated Air Force in the Sugar Bowl. Ah yes, those were good times. Erosion was measured by one less victory per year. Majors was Tennessee coach from 1977 through 1992. This was an up and down era. He won eight in his fifth season, nine in ’83, gave us the legendary Sugar Vols in 1985 and peaked in 1989-90. Simple summation of the Fulmer years: 100
more wins than losses, national championship, best of times. Butch Jones has heard about this. He may have seen video of Peyton Manning or Al Wilson or some of the great offensive linemen. Fulmer was a first-ballot Hall of Fame honoree. His teams beat up on Alabama. They had trouble with Florida. Firing Fulmer without a plan led to the absolute worst of times. Lane Kiffin was a bad joke. Derek Dooley was … well, let’s just say some of the scores and stats were horrible, worst in the forever history of Tennessee football. Forget not that a really good day was spoiled by the chaotic inability to count to 11. Do remember that Kentucky won with a reserve receiver playing quarterback. From that mess, Butch Jones has rebuilt the Volunteers. You may not recognize alternate uniforms but results should appear more like the Tennessee scoreboard is supposed to look.

Library to host author rally Maynardville Public Library will host the third Thunder Road Author Rally 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. “Maynardville Public Library has always been a champion of the written word,” said library director Chantay Collins. Library staff started with small book signings for local authors, but all that changed when they took a trip to an author event. Multiple authors were in attendance with books available for purchase, interacting with readers and each other. The first Thunder Road Author Rally had six authors. The second event had 10 authors, and the up-
The tipping point The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. (Genesis 2: 15 NRSV) When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe. (John Muir, naturalist and conservationist) I am not an alarmist, but I am alarmed. Scientists tell us that we are using (and abusing) the resources of the earth at rates that are unsustainable. There is a limit to what we can stain, gobble up, destroy, without destroying ourselves. Even animals know not to foul their own nest! John Muir was born 177 years ago this week. He loved this earth, but more importantly, he respected it and understood its ecological balance. He saw that we did not love Mother Earth as we should, and he foresaw the coming crisis. There are those who scoff at global warming, who don’t fret about our casual use of resources, who couldn’t care less about how much oil we pump out of the ground. However, there is a point of no return, a point at which we cannot reverse the damage. Then battles will be fought over

water, food, clothing and shelter. This will not be a war, but very personal, local fights for the necessities of life. There will be extinction of entire species of animals, and that will ultimately include the human animal. There was a time we feared the destruction of the earth by nuclear holocaust, which is still a possibility, perhaps less remote now than in the last 40 years. One nuclear scientist said then that he did not know what weapons would be used in World War III, but he was certain that World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones.
