Dedicating a vision
This week we launch a series of visits to each public school in the county, starting with our friends at Maynardville Elementary School where principal Laura LaRue is innovating with math and reading instruction.

What if??? Good friend Carl, impressed by the possibilities of Tennessee playmakers, said wouldn’t it have been something if Da’Rick had been a boy scout and Janzen Jackson had run away from trouble. Sad that two all-Americans were wasted. Oh, the things that might have been. Rearranging history is a splendid idea. Let’s waste four minutes playing “what if?”

Papa Clay’s necklace art Clay Worthley, aka Papa Clay, uses items that others no longer consider valuable to make one-of-a-kind necklaces. But he says his handmade jewelry is more than an expression of his craft. As a recovering alcoholic, Worthley says his life has been repurposed, just like the jewelry he designs.

By Cindy Taylor Revival Vision Church of God has come a long way from its first home in a gas station behind Hensley’s IGA. On Sept. 8, the congregation celebrated with food, fellowship and a ribbon-cutting to dedicate its new building at 154 Durham Drive in Maynardville. The contemporary structure has a fellowship hall with a complete kitchen, classrooms, state-of-the-

Barring the supernatural or the cataclysmic, what’s the best thing that could happen to a Democrat swimming for her life against a torrent of money? How can she compete with an opponent who refuses to acknowledge her existence? It’s not quite a miracle, but 3rd Congressional District candidate Mary Headrick of Maynardville will probably take the Sept. 7 Chattanooga Times Free Press editorial headlined, “Listen to Dr. Mary Headrick.” The point of the column was that Headrick has substantive ideas, and incumbent Chuck Fleischmann, a Republican, is shortchanging voters by refusing to talk to her about them. It mentioned a host of pressing matters including health care and job growth and spotlighted the problem of the crumbling Chickamauga Lock. This probably isn’t an issue that will resonate in the northern end

of the district, which sprawls like an hourglass north/south from Georgia to Kentucky. But in Chattanooga where the bulk of the voters live, it’s big – and Fleischmann won’t discuss it. The 72-year old Chickamauga Lock is part of the commercial waterway that moves cargo up and down the Tennessee River keeping tons of truck traffic off I-75 between Chattanooga and Knoxville. Like much of the country’s infrastructure, the aging lock is overdue for replacement, the cost of which is variously cited at $400 to $700 million. There’s a relatively simple, obvious solution that Headrick supports – barge operators, desperate to keep the waterway open, have endorsed raising the fuel tax by 9 cents a gallon to pay for the repairs. But Fleischmann, like most Republicans, has taken conservative icon Grover Norquist’s pledge never to vote for a tax increase. And never means never, even if

By Cindy Taylor The Senior Citizens Home Assistance Service (SCHAS) held its 23rd annual memorial walk to supplement costs for seniors who need help at home but can’t afford it. More than $1,000 was raised thanks to the hard work of the folks in Plainview, Union County and surrounding areas.

More than 35 people gathered pledges and walked to raise money for the service. Local businesses helped sponsor the event. Three-year-old Tanner Joyce raised $60 and was the youngest walker. Ciara Howell raised the most money at $473.

Coffee Break with
Steven Tyler. He’s just cool!
Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life? My wife, April. She always supports me in all my endeavors, no matter how crazy.
I still can’t quite get the hang of … Cooking.
What is the best present you ever received in a box?
Jason Bailey
The new nameplate my wife and son gave me when I received my doctorate.
Jason Bailey, 31, says he is too obsessive-compulsive to jump into anything on impulse. Considering the hand he had in getting Paulette Elementary School up and running and acquiring his doctorate during the same time, it is unlikely anyone is going to believe that. Then again, maybe he had all that planned for years. The Union County native has been married to April Terry Bailey for six years and has a 3-year-old son, Jaxon. Bailey has worked in the Union County School system for nine years. As a teacher at Luttrell Elementary, he developed a paperless classroom. Now in his second year as principal at Paulette, he absolutely loves his job and his students. “I was involved with the construction and opening of Paulette since the first shovel pierced the ground,” he said. “I view the school as my second child and will do whatever it takes to ensure its success.” Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Jason Bailey:
What is the best advice your mother ever gave you? If your dad is asleep, leave him alone!
What is your social media of choice? My wife’s Facebook page. I’m too lazy to have my own.
What is the worst job you have ever had? When I worked at Hensley’s IGA, I had to dress up as “Barry the Banana” for the kid’s fest. Yes, it was an actual banana costume.
What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?
What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie? “Why so serious?” The Joker (Heath Ledger) in “The Dark Knight.”
“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” What’s not to love about talking turtles with weapons?
What are you guilty of? Taking on too many tasks.
What irritates you?
What is your favorite material possession?
Bad drivers.
My Blackberry. Jason Bailey hangs out with Pawl the Panther outside his office in Paulette Elementary School. Photo by C. Taylor
What are you reading currently? “Uncommon Life” by Tony Dungy.
What’s one place in Union County everyone should visit?
What was your most embarrassing moment? I worked as a waiter one summer at Hickory Star. While taking food to a huge group of people, I slipped on a spilled drink and landed on their table. It was horrible!
Paulette Elementary, where else?
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Not to be so obsessive – medication could be the answer.
What are the top three things on your bucket list? Go to Australia, learn to play the piano and write a book.
What is one word others often use to describe you? Obsessive. I have to keep things in a certain order at all times. I am often told that I need medication.
What is your greatest fear? Disorganization.
If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? I’m too OCD to do anything impulsive.
What is your passion?

Rutherford reunion By Cindy Taylor The damp weather didn’t affect the fun when the Rutherfords came together for their 24th family reunion Sept. 8 at Big Ridge State Park. Ernest and Roxie Rutherford, who along with one of their sons have now passed, raised their family in Dark Hollow in the Big Ridge area until TVA created Norris Lake and the family had to move. At 82, Floyd Rutherford was the oldest young man at the reunion. Floyd says
the thing that stands out in his mind from when he was young is the family’s military service. He and his brothers all served in World War II and Korea, and Ernest was a veteran of the World War I. “I’m the old man now,” said Floyd. “We all came back without a scratch from the war, but for one 10-year period, our parents had two of us gone in the military. I can’t imagine my kids being gone that long.” Floyd says those who fought for our country
in Vietnam didn’t get the honor they deserved. “When I came back home I couldn’t call to tell anyone I was coming,” said Floyd. “There was an old man I barely knew who picked me up and took me home.” Happy memories were also revisited and those who spent time at the reunion left in stitches and with a full tummy. “We’re a confusing family and it gets worse the longer you stay,” joked Floyd and wife Joan, who have been married 55 years.

Goforth back on agenda
Maynardville Elementary on the move
Union County school board will discuss and possibly vote on D. Wayne Goforth, director of schools who currently is suspended with pay. The special meeting is 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24, at the Union County High School auditorium.
Sandra Clark
No one’s talking, but the election brought in two guys who likely want to move this issue off the table. It also brought the selection of David Coppock as board chair. Coppock was one of the original votes to suspend Goforth. So what will the school board do – bring Goforth back, settle this mess or fire him again? Auditor: At the Sept. 13 regular meeting, the school board hired auditors Mitchell, Emert & Hill to audit School General Activity Funds for 2012-13. Personnel: approved leaves of absence for Melissa G. Jones, interventionist at LES; Kerri Calloway, LES librarian; Leann Tolliver, PreK assistant; approved bus drivers Marlena Shope, Nicole Munsey and Amanda Graves. Trips: approved trips for UCHS Cosmetology to Birmingham, Oct. 20-22; HMMS to Beta Club Convention in Nashville, Nov. 18-20; HMMS 7th grade Geography Club to Nashville, March 20-22; HMMS 8th grade History Club to Washington, D.C., May 6-11. HMMS 8th grade to Cumberland Gap State Park, Sept. 21.
By Sandra Clark Maynardville Elementary School is on the move, following construction of Paulette Elementary and a reduction in size to a more manageable student body. Principal Laura LaRue said student enrollment dropped from 800 to 400 and now no student is housed in portable buildings. “When Paulette opened, we went from six teachers per grade level to three.” Only two classes are held outside the main building – science and music – and these are in a block building. The portables remaining on campus are used for storage. The school has 23 teachers and a total of 28 full-time certified staff with 3 part-time staff (2 for speech and 1 counselor). There are five “interventionists”
and six special education aides. Extracurricular activities include basketball for boys and girls, baseball, cheerleading and Beta Club. Intervention programs include “Read Well,” “Voyager” and “Fundations.” LaRue knows most of the kids, but especially her very own special twin boys, kindergarten students at MES. She gave one a hug and the other a wave when we toured the lunchroom. The principal is a former athlete and coach. A Union County native, she played softball and tennis one year at LMU. She’s coached basketball, softball and soccer, but now volunteers as a tee-ball coach for her sons’ team. Her daughter cheers at Union County High School and her fourth child attends Clinton High School.
You can help Parent volunteers are needed to: ■ Help Pre-K, K and 1st during lunch (open ketchup, open milk, etc.) ■ Help distribute ice cream/slushies during lunch ■ Help monitor playground (along with teachers) ■ Make copies for teachers ■ Cut, glue and paste items for teachers ■ Playground renovation To volunteer, call the school office at 992-8391 or email principal LaRue at LARUEL@ucps.org.
Innovations: To emphasize reading and math, the staff has changed teaching methods for grades 2-5, LaRue said. Rather than keep each class together with the same teacher all day, students in grades 2-3 and those in grades 4-5 are regrouped for reading and math. That means each child gets more attention from a teacher who specializes in the subject. For instance, second graders are divided into three groups for math and take these classes while third graders, also divided into groups, take reading. Later that day, the children are divided into different groups and reverse the process. Homeroom teachers handle English (writing) and social studies. Kids are pulled out for science and physical education. Kindergarten and first grade classes are selfcontained, LaRue said. Teachers work toward improvement for each child in critical areas of math and reading.

What if and what might have been TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West
G
ood friend Carl, impressed by the possibilities of Tennessee playmakers, said wouldn’t it have been something if Da’Rick had been a boy scout and Janzen Jackson had run away from trouble. Sad that two all-Americans were wasted. Oh, the things that might have been. Rearranging history is a splendid idea. Let’s waste four minutes playing “what if?” What if Justin Hunter and Tyler Bray had not been injured last season? Indeed, they and Jackson might have saved a game or three. Last year would not have been this year but the hole would not have been quite so deep. You can take “what if?” and “might have been” anywhere you want to go, all the way back to the second beginning. What if Captain Robert Reese Neyland, 33, too tall in the spring
of 1925 for his little grey desk at the U.S. Military Academy, had remained on duty and surrendered his idea of applying military tactics to football? What if he had been less logical in seeking employment? He had heard about comparable openings. He studied a map and concluded that Iowa was probably surrounded by corn and cows. There might be people scattered around East Tennessee. He had seen some Volunteer hillbillies two years earlier. They came to West Point. They brought their own barrel of home-grown apples as snacks. They lost, 41-0. Neyland suspected Tennessee had no way to go but up. What would have happened if Bowden Wyatt had mothballed the single-wing, installed the T formation and successfully recruited quarterbacks Steve Spurrier from
How to forgive CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton Realizing that their father was dead, Joseph’s brothers said, “What if Joseph still bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for the wrong that we did to him?” So they approached Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this instruction before he died, ‘Say to Joseph: I beg you forgive the crime of your brothers and the wrong they did in harming you.’ Now therefore please forgive the crime of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. (Genesis 50: 15-17 NRSV) We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)
Johnson City and Steve Sloan from Cleveland? A historic crossroads ran through a smoke-filled room, early December 1963 athletic board meeting. What if Murray Warmath advocates had won that late-night debate and Bob Woodruff had been discarded? Who else knew Arkansas assistant Doug Dickey had great leadership potential? What if Tom Fisher, 1965 linebacker with awesome skills, had not died in an auto accident on his way back to campus from spring break? More than once, the other linebacker, Frank Emanuel, said Fisher had more ability. Emanuel is in the College Football Hall of Fame. What if Dickey had stayed longer? What if a better supporting cast had surrounded Stanley Morgan? He might have won the 1976 Heisman Trophy. He was the focal point out of necessity. He holds the UT record for career all-purpose yards. What might have happened if Chuck Webb, 5-10 and 195, had retained two good legs? Webb had power, quickness, balance, speed and could see things before they happened. He had a good game against Ole Miss, 294 yards rushing. He played pretty well, 250 yards, against Arkansas in the 1990 Cotton Bowl. What if John Majors had re-
mained healthy and reasonably happy? What if he had taken off all of 1992, regained full strength and coached another eight or 10 years at Tennessee? Would Phillip Fulmer have made it to the Hall of Fame from another
direction? Without Fulmer and David Cutcliffe, where would Peyton Manning have gone? Ouch. What if Lane Kiffin was still in town? No, no, don’t go there.
“I don’t think much in terms of forgiveness,” my friend said. I was stunned. I had been the one asking for the forgiveness and doing so in earnest. To have it brushed aside was a shock. To have it, in essence, refused was unimaginable to me. How does the world go on if we don’t ask and receive (as well as be asked for and grant) forgiveness? There is a humility required to ask for forgiveness. One has to be prepared to say, “I was wrong. I should not have said [or done or allowed or thought] that.” The concept of forgiveness runs throughout the Prophets and the Gospels and Epistles. I wondered, though, where in the Bible the concept first appeared. Turns out, we get all the way to the last chapter of Genesis be-
fore the word “forgive” appears. The scene features Joseph, now prime minister of Egypt, and his miserable brothers who sold him into slavery because of their jealousy. Their father Jacob is dead, and the brothers realize that now there is no one standing between them and their powerful brother, who surely must hold a monumental grudge for the way they planned first to murder him and then settled for selling him to some passing Egyptians and lying to their father about it. It is here that the brothers tell Joseph that Jacob had sent word before his death that he (Joseph) should forgive his brothers the wrongs they committed against him. We are left in the dark, just as Joseph is, as to the truthfulness of this claim. The Bible does not record that Jacob
actually said such a thing. But Joseph is a better man than his brothers, and declines to be their judge and jury. “Don’t be afraid,” he reassures them. “Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” The “take-away lessons” from this story are several: Sometimes scoundrels get away with it. Forgiveness is a healthy thing. God is God and we are not. The other thing I can’t help noticing is that God can take a horrible situation and redeem it. When humans mess up God’s plans, God’s order, God can find a way to turn it to good. God did it then, and God now works at it every day.

Recovering art Clay Worthley, aka Papa Clay, uses items that others no longer consider valuable to make one-of-a-kind necklaces. But he says his handmade jewelry is more than an expression of his craft. As a recovering alcoholic, Worthley says his life has been repurposed, just like the jewelry he designs.
DOWN-home UPdate “Art helped me clean up my life. I have been clean and sober for 12 years now,” he said. “I want to give back to the community, so I chair A A meetings and donate my jewelry whenever anyone needs it for a fundraiser.” Worthley comes from a long line of musicians, artists and entertainers but started creating his own art about a year ago. He says his “Unity” necklaces were never meant to be anything other than a way to keep his hands busy and keep him out of trouble. He and wife Deborah, who Worthley says is
his rock, were visiting the Arts Co-op when owner Susan Boone invited him to place his necklaces there to sell. “I find old jewelry at flea markets and estate sales for cheap, take it apart, clean it up and give it new life,” he said. “It’s not about making a profit. I like helping other people when they need something.” Worthley enjoys his art but he also loves playing guitar and singing. He can often be found picking and singing with friends on the front porch of the Arts Co-op. Even though he has been plagued by health issues, he says moving to Union County has helped him start a new chapter in his life. “Everything happens A close up of one of Worthfor a reason, but, wow, ley’s repurposed necklaces. what a blessed life God has given me,” said Worthley, who helps raise money for homeless veterans, plays at sober dances for local recovery clubs and doClay Worthley can often be nates his time, resources, found on the front porch of music and jewelry to his the Union County Arts Coophome church to support erative strumming his guitar youth missions. and singing.

Union County High School Athlete of the Week Cameron Brown By Cindy Taylor In volleyball you have a bump, a set and a spike. The spike is where Cameron Brown comes in. The Union C o u n t y High School senior is a Brown power hitter who is in her fourth year with the Patriots and will graduate with a license in cosmetology. “We are a very young
team but I think we’ll do well this year,” said Brown. “Cameron is an exceptional player who knows all aspects of the game. She is a great leader and a strong hitter,” said coach Lance Lay. “As a large part of our offensive scoring she has a great senior season ahead of her.” Brown enjoyed watching Destinee Hooker lead the U.S. to a gold medal in Olympic volleyball and says if she goes to college instead of working in the field of cosmetology she would like to continue playing the game.

Cheer camp 2012 By Cindy Taylor The Union County High School Cheerios and coach Roxanne Patterson hosted the third annual Patriot Pride Cheer Camp on Sept. 8
at the high school. More than 20 girls signed up to learn cheering and tumbling. “This is the best turnout we have had and we are so excited,” said Patterson.
“We enjoy having Lil’ Patriot cheerleaders with us on the sidelines.” Participants ranged in age from 4 to 11 and were taught cheers, a bit of tumbling and got to play cheer games with the Cheerios. For only a small fee aspiring cheerleaders spent the day with teenagers they can
respect and the Cheerios learned teaching skills. As a reward for participation, the kids got T-shirts and the excitement of free admission and cheering for one quarter of the Patriot homecoming football game. The camp fees enable the Cheerios to pay competition fees and purchase supplies.

Chiropractic care helps with stress Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC You don’t have to wonder these days why people have increasing levels of stress in their lives. It can come from many directions and it can manifest itself in many ways. It could show itself in back pain, a headache, nausea or tight muscles. Stress generally is caused by outside factors, whether good or bad. Excitement over an impending wedding, for instance, an otherwise joyous event, can induce stress, just as financial worries can. Whatever symptom might develop, it begins in your nervous system. Stress can lead to bigger problems, like fitful sleeping, ulcers, and high blood pressure. Managing stress is important to a healthy lifestyle. Your body reacts to stress by generating adrenaline and noradrenaline, both linked to our fight-or-flight instinct. Those substances are secreted by nerve cells. Your spinal column is the main highway for the activities of your nervous system. This is why chiropractic care can help with stress. If one or more of the spinal column’s vertebrae are out of line, they can impede the path of a nerve and normal biological activity, like the anti-stress action of the nerve cells. A chiropractor can’t eliminate the stress in your life, but he or she can make sure your body is in optimal condition to respond to it. Talk with your chiropractor about stress management.

Raising Squirrels Stella Rose, 16, has gone to the squirrels. Well, really just one squirrel. Rose and her family have been caring for a baby squirrel since it fell out of its nest on Labor Day. The baby hasn’t even opened his, or her, eyes yet. “We found information online for how to care for him,” said Rose. “We use a newborn preemie animal nipple and feed him baby kitten formula mixed with
heavy whipping cream. He seems to love it and he’s growing.” Hot water bottles placed under thick towels make a bed in a basket to keep the baby warm. Once he is old enough to survive on his own the family will determine if he can become a permanent part of their household. “For now we’re just trying to help him survive,” said Rose.
