Luttrell gets sidewalk grant Luttrell Elementary School will get a sidewalk and crosswalk as a result of a $98,585 grant announced last week by Gov. Bill Haslam. Luttrell’s grant was one of 17 totalling $1.8 million through the Safe Routes to School funding program, a statewide initiative designed to make bicycling and walking to school a safer, more appealing and healthier alternative for students. “Increased physical activity is key to improving the health of Tennessee families,” Haslam said. “The Safe Routes to School Program helps communities across the state create safer walking and biking environments for students and encourages a healthy lifestyle.” The grants are made possible through a federally funded program administered by the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

By Libby Morgan Crissy Haslam, wife of Gov. Bill Haslam, visited Big Ridge and other Tennessee parks in anticipation of the “Tennessee Landscapes” theme at the annual holiday open house at the Tennessee Residence in December. She was met by Ranger Sarah Nicley, Nicley’s mother, Wendy Leedy, and park manager John Howell, and took a short tour around the park. While the group enjoyed the view of Big Ridge Lake, Haslam asked Nicley about the “Ghost House” on the park property. “Our Ghost House Tour nighttime walk is my favorite thing all year. I’ve been doing it since I came here,” said Nicley. And while she explained the legend, an unusual-looking wild duck meandered up close. “That’s a Muscovy, and it’s a ‘perching duck.’ They aren’t native to this area. This guy’s been hanging around for a while,” said Nicley. Leedy gave Haslam a book Leedy illustrated, “The Jesus Donkey,” by David Chaltas. “I loved visiting Big Ridge State Park to see the beautiful lake and Ranger Sarah Nicley, Amanda Kerns (kneeling) and Crissy Haslam encounter a friendly Muscovy duck in Big Ridge all the recreational opportunities for families to enjoy,” said Haslam.

Schools meet 9 of 11 state objectives By Sandra Clark Wow. When individual school scores were released (finally) by the Tennessee Department of Education last week, Union County found reason to celebrate – 9 of 11 reasons, specifically. “We can celebrate meeting our AMOs (annual measurable objectives), but we have a lot of work to do,” said Director of Schools Jimmy Carter. No Union County school, including the Virtual Academy, was “on the list” of the state’s lowestperforming schools. Hey, let’s just celebrate this week. The state expects about 4 percent growth in math and English/ language arts each year. Union County wasn’t square on that target, but it beat the state average. Take a look. 3-8 grade R/LA – Union County 3.4 percent increase; state 1 percent decrease. 3-8 grade Math – UCPS, 3.4 percent increase; state .5 percent increase. The downside is overall proficiency in Union County – 39.6 percent in reading/language arts and 24.9 percent in math. Carter said he is working closely with math teachers to increase proficiency. “We have developed pacing guides, common assessments and

standards-based benchmarks to raise these scores.” Carter said schedule changes resulted in a “surge” in third grade math scores – “a positive sign for the coming year.” Third grade math proficiency in UCPS increased 3.5 percent, while the state’s overall third grade math proficiency dropped 2.7 percent. A highlight was math scores at Maynardville Elementary School. The scores doubled over the previous year and resulted in a “5” – the top ranking – in average yearly progress. Carter also called out for special recognition the seventh grade reading/language arts proficiency increase at Horace Maynard Middle School. UCPS increased 8.9 percent (with 40.2 percent of all students advanced or proficient), while the state increased 3.5 percent. Other highlights were Algebra I at the high school where almost 70 percent were advanced or proficient and English II which showed 58.4 percent advanced or proficient. Almost half of Algebra II students were advanced or proficient, a change of 14 percent over the previous year. While the graduation rate remains low, it has risen from 74 percent (of incoming freshmen

Fun at the History Fair Union County was wellrepresented at the East Tennessee History Fair held in downtown Knoxville. Front and center in Krutch Park, Wanda Byerley and Martha Carter displayed books and journals on Union County history, with hundreds stopping by to dig into their genealogy and remember their times in the county. Hollie Cook at the Knox Heritage table says she visited Maynardville earlier in the week in preparation for a walking tour of the history of the area. “Maynardville is a great place, and it’s so close to Knoxville. We’re looking forward to working with Julie Graham on this project. It’s something that will take a couple of years to happen, with funds possibly coming from a humanities grant,” says Cook. In the lobby of the East Tennessee History Center, corn shuck doll artist Anne Freels showed dozens of her creations and demonstrated her craft. Just down Gay Street, Freels has a small window display, which currently is a scene about the history of snake handling, with her dolls holding curlicue vines to represent the snakes. Luttrell students Hannah and Isaiah Ketron toured the museum and grounds and loved the military displays lining Clinch Avenue. ■

Strevel boys will be greatly appreciated. We would also like to have a picture of each if there is one available. David Strevel enlisted in the Union Army, Company D, 1st Tennessee Infantry; but this is all the information I have found on him thus far. Pvt. John Strevel served in the Confederate Army in Co. A, 5th McKenzie, Ten-

nessee Cavalry. He joined Captain A. J. Brock’s company on Oct. 19, 1861. On muster-in-roll of Oct. 19, 1861, it showed “amount due him for service of horse $70.” He mustered out April 12, 1862. Pvt. William Strevel joined the Union Army, Co. D., 1st Tennessee Infantry on March 28, 1862, commanded by James W. Branson. The muster records contain two death dates for Pvt. Strevel. One says Aug. 4, 1862, and another says “on or about July 13, 1862” of disease at Barbourville, Ky. He was married to Lydia “Liddy” Lane in 1846 by Thomas Whited, Justice

of the Peace (J.P.) in Claiborne County. Their children were: Andrew, b. 1855; Isabel, b. 1859, and Esau, b. 1860. Lydia Lane Strevel, his widow, applied for pension in 1870 – signed by Elizabeth Keck, J. P. Harbison, L. A. Monroe and James J. McNew, J.P. She was required to state that she had in no way aided, abetted or been engaged in the rebellion against the United States. Her second petition was signed by Jesse Rogers, James Dyer, Eli Miller, David Miller and William Colvin, Clerk. To page 5

7-5 and a minor bowl bid Even if you know almost nothing about Tennessee football, it is time for predictions. As a longstanding realist, I say 7-5 and an invitation to a minor bowl would be progress. Anything more would be cause for celebration and raises all around. Anything less than 6-6 would be serious. The Volunteers cannot afford to get stuck in reverse and dump a bunch of bricks. We have excuses: Young team, tough schedule, inexperienced linemen. We have reasons to expect more than last year: Improved speed. Money, whatever it took for all the show-and-tell Butch Jones could think of as enhancements, from gray

uniforms to inspirational speakers to stadium disc jockey. Travel allowance was essentially unlimited, enough to go anywhere as many times as the law allows. This combination, in the hands of sales professionals, produced significant recruiting success. Development is a reasonable next step for a secondseason coaching staff paid at a championship level. Culture change, account-

ability, internal leadership, faith in the future should pay preliminary dividends. I have heard the expectations of joyous optimists and their opposites, those who concede that Vanderbilt has passed Tennessee. Predictions range from 4-8 to 9-3. I have tallied a hundred or more. The average might be a break-even season. Confidence suffered a setback when CBS Sports.com checked in. The network televises a game of the week from the SEC. That qualifies all staffers as insightful. Their opinion is Tennessee does not yet have it. Butch got one vote for coach of the year and Tennessee got one vote for fourth place in the SEC East, several for fifth

Confidentially speaking The first school lunch programs in Union County began in one- and two-room schools in the 1940s. Today, every school has a kitchen equipped to serve a hot lunch daily to every student. Over the years the government developed a program to provide free or reduced price meals for students who were economically disadvantaged. In more recent years the identity of students on “free lunch” became a major issue of confidentiality, but this was not so in my elementary years. In those days, teachers typically began the school day by giving students assignments while attendance and “lunch count” were taken. Ms. Marie Lynch routinely called out “Free!” (All students receiving free lunch would raise their hands.) “Reduced!” (More hands.) “Paid!” (Hands.)

Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME “Brought lunch!” If the total hand count did not equal the total number present, the process was repeated. It was important that every student eat lunch. Next, money from “paying” students was collected by the teacher and delivered to the cafeteria. This was routine, and we paid little attention to who was “paid” or “free.” I received free lunch and never remember any classmate making a big deal of it. By the time I was in high school, confidentiality had

become more important. I was amused when I received a fake metal coin to present to Ms. Jessie Booker when I went through the line. I’d give her this “coin,” and she would pass me another so it appeared I was paying for lunch and she was giving me change. With each passing year, confidentiality of those receiving free or reduced price lunches became increasingly important. As federal programs supervisor I was required to sign an agreement that I would keep the identity of students receiving free or reduced price meals confidential. Now our school system participates in Community Eligibility, a program that provides a daily lunch at no cost to every student in the school system. I applaud this program if, for no other reason, it levels the playing

and one for sixth. The CBS all-SEC team does not mention Tennessee, not even A.J. Johnson, labeled an all-American by local enthusiasts. Gambling guru Danny Sheridan thankfully left the Vols off his list of 10 worst teams in the country but awarded “honorable mention.” USAToday/Coaches poll was not particularly comforting. Fifty-one teams received votes. Tennessee did not. SEC sports information directors said the Vols will finish 11th in the league. SEC media said 12th. Paul Finebaum, godfather of the new SEC Network, was alarming. He said fans should not concern themselves with the Oklahoma horror chamber. Of greater concern is the opener against Utah State.

Oh my. Forecasting is simple if you accept this vision: Utah State, Chattanooga, Arkansas State, Vanderbilt and Kentucky are need-to-be victories. Missouri, Florida and Ole Miss are possible upsets. Georgia and South Carolina are unlikely. Oklahoma and Alabama are more unlikely. A fan who said “eight is enough” is betting on nine. She picked the Vols to win the opener and move boldly past everybody except the Sooners, Crimson Tide and Gamecocks. One reaction to that forecast: “Nobody in touch with reality would pick this Tennessee team to win three SEC road games.” Several paid to predict have Georgia winning the SEC title. Great running backs do make a difference.

Mississippi has a very good quarterback and is listed among the most underrated teams in the country. The Vols project as seven-point underdogs in Oxford. The 6-6 consensus counts three non-conference victories and a strong November. That would mean an ugly six out of seven setbacks with only Chattanooga to break up the losing streak. Vol fans may learn to appreciate open dates. This is not part of predictions but the opener is critical. Utah State has a busy-body quarterback. I am not convinced Tennessee has learned to contain quarterbacks who run. I am not sure it can disrupt quarterbacks who throw. I am sure the Volunteers must win the first one. Must-must-must.

field for all students, making income level a non-issue (at least in respect to the lunch program). Unfortunately, somewhere throughout the years the idea developed that low income and low academic achievement were related. Years of statistical data from standardized tests support this belief, though anyone who has taught for any respectable length of time can give numerous examples of low income students who excelled academically and of more affluent students who did not. In her book “A Framework for Understanding Poverty,” Dr. Ruby K. Payne points out several elements that ensure success for all students, regardless of income: role models and emotional resources, support systems, discipline and effective instruction. Union County’s public schools are capable of and have provided these supports for decades. As Wan-

za Sharp said, “Children, the program’s here, if you want it.” Former students who consider themselves successful are indebted to the formative years of pub-

lic schooling. I was blessed as a Union County student with great role models. Next week I’ll reflect on one of the many.

The rate of her pension was $8 per month beginning in November 1870. Another petition in 1879 was signed by S. M. Needham and I. C. Dyer, J.P. Still another affidavit was signed by Pleasant and Eli Miller. Then another by James W. Branson, late Captain of Strevel’s regiment. Lydia died in 1909 “of old age and LaGrippe.” One account says she was buried in the John Miller Cemetery in the old 2nd District, near where she died. However, she is listed and has a grave marker in Big Barren Cemetery. Find-

A-Grave has William listed there as well, No. 46336887. In 2000, when the Union County cemeteries were catalogued, there was no stone there for William. In 1909 John Miller signed a bill against Lydia’s estate for walnut lumber for her coffin, $3, and oak lumber for coffin case, $2.

From God’s perspective, the imperfection may not be in the physically and mentally disabled but in a healthy person’s uncompassionate response to these individuals.

Chiropractic is one avenue of treatment for something that might be ailing you. One way to minimize the likelihood you’ll need to see a chiropractor, or any other medical care provider, is to eat right. Maintaining your health is always easier than restoring it. Here are some tips on nutrition from the American Chiropractic Association: • Consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber every day. Sources include vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts and whole-grain breads. A high-fiber diet can help prevent heart disease and colon cancer. • When possible, choose organically grown foods. They have lower levels of contaminants like pesticides and

Johnny Myers sees his bridge in Big Ridge get some use by park visitors. Orrin Warwick got a Lincoln-style education while building a split rail fence near the cabins in Big Ridge. Photos by Libby Morgan

Two become Eagle scouts By Libby bb Morgan Big Ridge State Park has two new features that fit right in with the rustic environment, and Boy Scout Troop 401 has two new Eagle scouts: Johnny Myers and Orrin Warwick. Myers took on rebuilding a bridge at the beginning of the Lake Trail near the Group Camp for his Eagle project. “The rangers want to be able to take a four-wheeler on the trails in case of an emergency. There are other footbridges farther in that need to be made accessible, and this is the first

one,”” says scout master and d Johnny’s mom Linda Myers. “We have a long list of ideas for the park our scouts can consider for Eagle projects.” Johnny planned the project and was able to reuse quite a bit of the lumber from the old bridge. Some of the funds for new wood came from a grant from Lowe’s. “There are about 140 hours in the actual work,” he says. Warwick worked with park rangers on planning a project that would help protect a steep bank between the road and one of the cabins.

His i dad, d d Tommy Warwick, helped harvest trees from the park property (with the rangers’ guidance) and Orrin learned how to split the logs and build a cedar split rail fence. “We planned to make the fence only half this long, but we had enough split wood to put it on two sides of the cabin steps,” says Orrin. “A split rail fence fits in with the park’s natural look and uses traditional methods.” The two sections are each over 50 feet long and Orrin and his helpers completed the project in December.

Tyler Warwick and Jerry Myers welcome their younger brothers Orrin Warwick and Johnny Myers to the rank of Eagle Scout. Photo submitted Both young men are following in the footsteps of their older brothers. Johnny’s brother Jerry and Orrin’s brother Tyler were on

hand at the Eagle Court of Honor when the two new Eagle Scouts received their official recognition. In September, Troop 401

college but don’t know how they can,” said Haslam. Tennessee’s Promise helps provide the way. Participants in the program will have some responsibility, including meeting with a mentor, performing community service, filling out necessary forms and attending orientation. The

program is designed not just to get students in to college, but to get them through it, too. Approximately 32.6 percent of Tennesseans have a degree or certificate, and Haslam hopes to drive that number to 55 percent by the year 2025.
