100 years ago What to say about open date? Good question. Fortunately, a regular reader rushed to the rescue and changed the subject. “A few weeks ago, you wrote about Doug Dickey and Tennessee football of 50 years ago. What do you know about 100 years ago?” Well now, I am old but I wasn’t there. What I know is what the late Tom Siler said he had learned.

Martha Warwick Seventh grade was such a happy time, and Martha Warwick was a big part of the reason. Ms. Warwick taught us the major bones of the body that year. Few things I ever learned impressed me more. It’s one of the first (and probably only) times I ever felt like a “goldurned genius!”

By Libby Morgan All over Union County, senior citizens are able to live at home because of a little help from their friends at Senior Citizens Home Assistance Service. Caregivers visit to provide transportation, meal prep, laundry, personal care, medication reminders and a myriad of other non-medical tasks that, if left undone, might cause an older person to have to give up being independent enough
to stay in their own place. And they’ve been celebrating the whole relationship with an annual Senior Walk-A-Thon for 25 years now. SCHAS is based in Knoxville and serves 20 counties, but the heart of the organization is here in Union County. Tim Howell, CEO of SCHAS, married Penny Alford over 20
Walk-A-Thon participants who earned the most money for the Senior Citizens Home Assistance Service fund are caregivers Norma Lawson (third place) and Linda Vineyard (second place); Ciara Howell, daughter of company CEO (first place); and UC director Kim Partin with marketing coordinator Carrie Jordan.

Comptroller OK’s Union County budget By Sandra Clark Not only was the Union County 2015 budget finalized and adopted in record time this year, but an Aug. 25 letter from the state Comptroller’s office approved the budget as adopted by the County Commission. The Comptroller’s office audits city and county budgets to make sure the projected revenues are adequate to meet anticipated expenditures. The audit suggested attention to fund balances for the general purpose school fund and the Tennessee Virtual Academy school fund. Finance Director Ann Dyer will respond to these concerns. The general school fund balance of $1,472,949 is less than one month’s average expenses of $1,795,520. The school federal projects fund balance of $98,661 is less than average monthly expenses of $211,919. “The County Commission should review the working capital requirements for these funds to determine the necessary level of cash needed to sustain their operations,” the audit concluded. Union County finalized its debt for new vehicles for the Sheriff’s office. The county owes three equal payments of $48,580.321 in 2015, 2016 and 2017. The loan is at 1.99 percent interest. Budget Committee: Mayor Williams appointed Commissioners Lynn Beeler, Stanley Dail, Dennis Nicley and Jim Greene to the Budget and Finance Committee where they will join Janet Holloway, Dawn Flatford, J.M.

Williams reported that he and Sexton had met with Russell Byrd from Comcast and Byrd requested a 30-day extension before a hearing on the company’s possible contract default. The commission agreed to the extension. Williams was re-elected to chair the commission; Commissioner Gary England was re-elected vice chair. Commission’s next meeting is 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, at the courthouse.
Commission has little control over VFD County commissioners concerned about membership fees and billing charges by the Paulette Volunteer Fire Department heard a report from County Attorney K. David Myers, but it was not the answers they had hoped for. “I think a volunteer fire department has a right to charge fees,” Myers said, “but they have a responsibility to notify customers of those fees and the fees must be reasonable. ... It’s not something we can regulate.” Myers said all of the county’s fire departments have submit-
ted their forms to state regulators and are in compliance. He said the county can set territorial boundaries for the fire departments Commissioner Dawn Flatford Daniel Rice asked whether a fire department can bill a property owner even when somebody else calls in the request for service. Myers said yes, in his opinion. Fire Chief Daniel Rice said no one at Paulette is paid including To page 5
Nicole Lopez is new pediatrician By Sandra Clark Dr. Nicole Lopez, a pediatrician, has joined the Maynardville Family & Urgent Care practice based at 598 John Deere Drive. The practice holds the contract to operate school clinics, and Dr. Lopez expects to work in the Dr. Lopez schools two days per week with the balance of her time at the clinic, which offers full-service medical care for the entire family. “Everyone has made me feel welcome,” Lopez said. “I’m excited to be in such a tight-knit community where people know one an-
other and everyone is proud to be from Maynardville.” Lopez grew up in Memphis and came to Knoxville for undergraduate work at the University of Tennessee. She got her medical training at Wake Forest University and returned to Knoxville, saying, “I am a Vol through and through.” Her husband is a research scientist at Oak Ridge. They have a “fur baby,” a giant dog. Lopez planned to specialize in geriatrics, but during her clinical rotations she was captivated by pediatrics. “I went over thinking I would not like it, but I just loved it,” she said. “I was more relaxed (in pediatrics).” She experienced “an unexpected love at first sight.” It’s a challenge talking to patients who cannot talk, trying to

She finds the children becoming comfortable with her as she interacts with them. She sees both well and sick patients from birth through college. Babies should be seen by a pediatrician at two days, when they’re home from the hospital; one month, two months, four months, six months, nine months, one year, 15 months, 18 months and age two. Afterwards they should be seen annually through their teen years. Her favorite part of the job? “Talking to babies,” she said. “They make me smile every day.”

Putting the ‘volunteer’ in Luttrell VFD By Libby Morgan When a community of willing helpers and Michelle Liford’s determination mix, the outcome is a fire department better equipped to serve its neighbors. The Sept. 20 Luttrell Music Festival is all about making the Luttrell Volunteer Fire Department a true community-supported entity. Mayme Taylor, the spark of the festival, and her husband, Jody Smith, are both firefighters, and Liford is partners with one. The event is a fundraiser for LVFD. Liford started raising funds for the LVFD three years ago when she organized a silent auction, and she and Pizza Plus in Lut-
trell have developed a mutually beneficial fundraiser with a coupon that gives LVFD a dollar each time it is used. Camera-shy and adverse to attention, Liford downplays her efforts. “I’m just someone who wanted to do my part in showing support and helping raise funds for our firefighters who take time from their own families to keep our families safe,” she says. Liford is ready for this next round, with items prepared for the silent auction during the festival. She credits helpers Donna Kelly, Janice Grasty and Tori McGinnis for their efforts. “Because of our generous
community and the donors who continue to show their support each year with attraction tickets, the silent auction has always been a big success,” she says. The list includes a coffee lover’s basket and an electronics basket, and tickets to Ripley’s Aquarium, Rock City, Great Smoky Moun-
tain Wheel, Indoor Skydiving and Smokies baseball. “We would love to have more things to auction, so if anyone wants to join, please call City Hall at 992-0870 or the library at 992-0208.” Luttrell Music Festival will be held rain or shine Saturday at Luttrell Park on Tazewell Pike.
Soap, Candle & Gifts leaves Fountain City By Bonny C. Millard Union County residents who shopped at the Knoxville Soap, Candle & Gifts store on Broadway near Panera can find it at a new location, 5201 Kingston Pike in Bearden. Owner Jodi Bowlin is a natural-born storyteller who shares stories about the locally handcrafted pieces that fill her shop.
“I always share the story when people come to the register … and it just makes it more special,” Bowlin said. “All this just comes from all these amazing people right here in town. We don’t have to go overseas. “It feels more like an art gallery in here to me. I call it an eclectic cooperative,” she said. “Right now, I’m operating at 80 percent local,
handmade, one-of-a-kind items, and the 20 percent I do buy is specialty merchandise. I buy it in limited quantities so it’s not repeated.” Bowlin renovated her new space to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The store’s prior business was a cupcake shop that featured cracked linoleum floors and gray plastic walls.
Trinity Funeral Home, LLC Setting the standard for Excellence in Funeral Service Contrary to rumors, Trinity Funeral Home will be here to serve your family for generations to come!
“I thought ‘oh my gosh, it’s a ’70s Kmart in here.’” Bowlin laid plywood on top of the floor and stained it walnut. Then she painted spirals and hearts, birds and butterflies, and a garden path before sealing the floor with polyurethane. “It was a four-step process. I was able to do it for about $800,” she said.

Let Lifting up our seniors years ago. Penny’s the daughter of Christa Alford, who owns and runs Affordable Carpets in Maynardville, and the late Paul Alford. “I will always be from Union County,” says Penny, “Even though I’ve been living in Halls for a long time.” Tim says, “This Walk-AThon raised about $2,500 that will benefit Union County seniors who are on our sliding scale for care service fees. This money fills a need when a client is ineligible for other sources like long-term care insurance, veterans benefits and government help.” “Li’l Jo’s set us up with a great buffet and donated three dollars of each meal’s cost to our Walk-A-Thon. Curtis Petree, the owner, got Hillbilly Jedi to come and entertain, and pretty much let us take over the place today.” “We use the time here also to give our caregivers the credit they deserve,” says SCHAS marketing coordinator Carrie Jordan. “And they are certainly givers. They go above and beyond their duties because they are such loving people. “One of our clients is home alone a lot, so our caregiver helped him set up a Facebook page and taught him how to navigate it. Now he’s in constant touch with his family and friends.

“This makes a huge difference in his life. “Other clients need simple help, like getting the laundry out of the dryer. One of our ladies called me recently just to say what a relief it was for her to have a clean house. “This is the first place I’ve ever worked that makes me feel like I’m doing something really worthwhile,” Jordan adds. SCHAS started out in 1970 and has grown to serve 20 counties in East Tennessee. “Several local people work for us taking care of our Union County clients. We have about 50 clients here. In a year’s time, we help keep about 2,500 people from having to leave their homes and move into assisted living or nursing homes,” says Tim. “Most of the time, it’s the daughter or son of a senior that will contact us first,” adds Penny. “We put them in touch with their county director, and we will go to their home and do an assessment. “We can speak with a family before home assistance is needed, and that way they have the information if and when that time comes.” Union County’s SCHAS director is Kim Partin, and she can be reached at (865) 992-9886.

After the war he came back with a wife to the Alder Springs community. He returned to the church determined to preach from the same text. On this occasion, he proceeded with his remarks: “Brethren and Sisters, the last time I was here the Rebels came and broke up the meeting. When they started shooting, I jumped through the window and ran. Bullets cut twigs from the trees over my head. I felt something warm run down my legs -- thank God it was not
blood.� (This story was provided to me by Linda Warwick Coppock, a current member of Alder Springs Baptist Church.) The Rev. Turner died August 11, 1892 and is buried in Alder Springs Church Cemetery. The following is a genealogical sketch of this Union County Turner line: Turner, George, b. 1780 at Alder Springs community, d. 1849–first person to be buried in Alder Springs Cem.

cause we had every seventh grade teacher for one class in sixth grade due to departmentalization. On the first day of school I walked up to my teacher of choice and asked, “Am I in your homeroom?� She replied, “Get in here.� I never even got to see my name on the list, but happily I took my place in Martha Warwick’s homeroom. Ms. Warwick was the youngest homeroom teacher I had ever had to that point. Usually she wore her hair in a bun, but on some days she let it hang free -on those days I thought she was just beautiful. I guess I had a mild crush.
My admiration deepened when Ms. Warwick asked me to be on the school’s new safety patrol. I was so pleased that she thought me worthy of such an important role, but I declined because I figured my dad wouldn’t want me to do it. Ms. Warwick put me on the patrol anyway, thereby giving me my first taste of authority and responsibility. With my dad’s permission, Ms. Warwick and her husband, Danny, picked me up and took me to my first school basketball game. While I loved being with them and receiving Ms. Warwick’s attention in this
way, I never liked sports. When Ms. Warwick asked me on the way home what I thought of the game, I honestly replied, “I’d just as soon have been home reading.� The next school basketball game I attended was when I was principal of Sharps Chapel Elementary 18 years later. But Ms. Warwick did not abandon me. She picked me up one sunny spring Saturday and took me to school to participate in our 4-H community pride project. My favorite playground activity was swinging, and our class painted the old wooden seats of the swings in beautiful, bright colors.
Civil War soldier, the Rev. George Turner Jr. George Turner Jr. of the Union Army is believed to be one of the first preachers who preached in the Baptist Church of Christ at Alder Springs, which was established March 31, 1849. His father George Turner was the first person buried in the church cemetery on May 19, 1849. George Turner was a veteran of the War of 1812. The story of the Rev. George Turner Jr.’s enlistment in the war goes something like this: Rev. Turner was in the pulpit at Alder Springs Baptist Church one Sunday during the Civil War. Unbeknownst to the preacher or his congregation, hungry Rebel soldiers from Cumberland Gap were foraging in that area. His text was, “The race is not to the swift, nor the

battle to the strong; neither riches to men of understanding.� Rebel soldiers came galloping up the valley just as the preacher was warming up to his text. Bang! Bang! went the rifle shots, and pandemonium seized the congregation. The window behind the pulpit was open, and the Rev. Turner made a quick exit and ran like a deer up through the woodland on the slope of Hinds Ridge. He hit the trail into Kentucky and joined the Union Army.
Twice young Seventh grade at Maynardville Elementary presented me with two “young� experiences. The first was new principal William C. “Bill� Young, who introduced a new way of placing students with teachers. On the first day of school students had chosen their teachers -- well-known teachers might have 60 or more students, while newer teachers might have practically none. Teachers more evenly divided students on the second day. Mr. Young

The picture I have included was the second church, and may have been the church where he returned to preach.
As a parting gift to MES and for the enjoyment of its future students, I painted the seat of my favorite swing a most beautiful shade of green. That color reminds me still of that happy, perfect day. Ms. Warwick taught us the major bones of the body that year. Few things I ever learned impressed me more. It’s one of the first (and probably only) times I ever felt like a “gol-durned genius!� Seventh grade was such a happy time, and Martha Warwick was a big part of the reason. Next week I’ll share other seventh grade memories.

Tennessee football 100 years ago Roger Woods leaves UT FCA What to say about open mation. They outscored foes date? Good question. 374 to 37. Butch Jones wants you to know that Tennessee wore gray jerseys. Pint-sized Zora G. Clevenger, 5-7 and 145, former Marvin halfback at Indiana, was the West Tennessee coach. Interesting how he got the job. He was coaching three sports at Nebraska Wesleyan and Fortunately, a regular playing pro baseball in the reader rushed to the rescue summer to supplement his income. In 1910, he came and changed the subject. “A few weeks ago, you to town as the shortstop for wrote about Doug Dickey the Knoxville team in the and Tennessee football of Appalachian League. The first Sunday, he and 50 years ago. What do you know about 100 years ago?” his wife went to church. Mrs. Well now, I am old but I Clevenger was delighted to wasn’t there.

gang, as in no assistants, no support staff, not even a dietitian or video coordinator. It took him a few minutes to get organized. The university had raised entrance requirements. The team was a little short on talent. By 1913, the outlook was much brighter. The Vols won six of nine. The big one got away. Vanderbilt won, 7-6. Clevenger awarded 12 letters and gave a pep talk about the future. Season profit in excess of $1000 allowed him to hire a line coach. A hundred years ago, Tennessee came out of the chute with an 88-0 stroll past Carson-Newman. King College fell, 55-3. Clemson took a 27-0 hit. Tennessee took the train to Louisville and romped, 66-0. There was bitterness before the Alabama game. An anonymous source reported the Tide was cheating. Sure enough, quarterback Charlie Joplin refused to sign an affidavit that he had never played pro ball and was immediately ruled ineligible.
The Vols won, 17-7. Chattanooga took a 67-0 tumble. The really big game was at Vanderbilt. Southern Railway offered fans a round trip ride for $6.75. Alonzo (Goat) Carroll scored all Tennessee points, two touchdown receptions of Bill May passes, one extra point kick and a 15-yard field goal, in a 16-14 victory. It was the first ever over the Commodores. Carroll invited the victors to dinner at his family home, a block or three from the Vandy campus. UT classes were dismissed on Monday for a day of celebration. A Vanderbilt official said that was what you might expect from Tennessee, over-emphasis of athletics and under-emphasis of academics. The Vols swatted Sewanee in Chattanooga and polished off Kentucky to conclude the perfect season. There were no holiday bowl games but a good time was had by all.

Roger Woods is no longer affiliated with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at the University of Tennessee. Woods, six years the campus FCA leader and chaplain for sports teams, said this is not a complicated story. “It was Roger Woods decided, by mutual agreement, that it was time for me to move on.” Woods is now the pastor at New Birth Knoxville. The church is at 3706 Sevier Heights Road. Dean Craig, area director for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, spoke warmly of Roger Woods the man and of Roger’s service at the university. “As Roger said, it was just time to change.” Craig said the FCA will conduct a comprehensive search for a replacement.

He returned to his high school as a teacher and assistant coach but dropped out “on Dec. 14, 1998.

He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life…. (John 3: 34-36a NRSV) But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” (John 20: 24-25 NRSV) When my daughter Jordan was eight and Eden was five, our little family ceased our wandering in the North and moved back home to East Tennessee. Such a move entailed many changes: a new school (new to them; not to me!), a new (old) house, new friends for the girls, old friends for me. We also had to find a new
pediatrician. I had accepted a position at a small church, so I asked my pastor who cared for her daughters. She gave me the name of their pediatrician, Dr. Donald Larmee. When he walked into the examining room, I knew we were in the presence of a special man. He introduced himself to me and to my
girls, and then he did something I had never seen a doctor do. He asked Jordan if he could see her hands. She put out her little hands, and he took them in his big ones. He looked at the backs of her hands, then gently turned her hands palms up. From there, he went on with his examination. I later asked him why he did that. He explained that hands are relatively nonthreatening, impersonal, and accustomed to being touched. It was his way of putting Jordan at ease. At that point, I fell in love, just a little. Needless to say,
he took care of my girls until they outgrew their need for a pediatrician. In fact, as I recall, he did their physicals for admission to college. Years later, when both of my girls were all grown up, I stood to announce the opening hymn in church, and was surprised to see Dr. Larmee standing in the fourth pew. Later in that service I had the privilege of assisting at his grandchild’s baptism. As I always do, I held onto the baby’s foot—not the hand— during the baptism, remembering what my daughters’ paternal grandmother always said: “Think of how many steps that little foot will take!” When I think of Jesus’ hands, I always think of Thomas, the doubter, who wanted proof that Jesus was alive again. “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my

hand in his side, I will not believe,” Thomas declared to the other disciples. Thomas gets a bad rap for that statement, and for his skepticism. But given the score card on resurrections up to that point in history, I have to say, I understand his reluctance to believe. When it came to the moment of truth, a week after the Resurrection, when Thomas stood in the presence of the resurrected Je-
sus, he needed no further proof. Jesus offered his hands, inviting Thomas to touch the wounds, and to put his hand in his pierced side. Thomas was, at last, past his doubting. He didn’t need any further proof. The presence of Jesus, alive again, was enough for him. He declared, “My Lord and my God!” Thomas’ faith was in His hands.

The trademark of chiropractic care is the spinal adjustment. Here’s what it’s all about. Nerves that run from the brain, the body’s control center, to the rest of the body are bundled in the spinal cord. That cord runs through the vertebrae – the individual bones that make upthe spine. From the cord and between the vertebrae, nerves emanate and reach into all parts of the body. If for some reason – trauma and deterioration among them – one or more vertebrae are out of line, the nerves near them could be compressed and impaired from sending the right signals, causing a problem in a wrist or shoulder, for example. By feeling the spine or by examining x-rays, the chiropractor can determine which areas need
adjustment to put the vertebrae back in proper alignment. Spinal adjustment techniques can vary. In some situations the chiropractor may deliver a quick, gentle thrust to accomplish the adjustment. In others, the chiropractor may apply continuing pressure. Some adjustments may involve use of special instruments or tables. Sometimes cracking or popping sounds are generated by an adjustment. This is the sound – similar to cracking knuckles – of gas or air rushing from a joint. Ask your chiropractor for more information on the value of an adjustment.

Johnson, a sophomore, is a “hitter” on the volleyball team and says she does her best on the court from the front line. She is a member of the Beta Club and HOSA, and plans to become an optometrist. Her parents are Mike and Crystal Johnson.
Johnson settles in as new FCS teacher By Libby Morgan Sharon Johnson, Union County High School’s new Family and Consumer Science teacher, has lots of new friends. One of her favorites is Fred. She’s never known a rooster before. “I’m a city girl, so I’m having fun learning about life in the country and getting to know all the wonderful friendly people here. And especially Fred.” Fred lives behind the ag department near where Johnson parks, and they greet each other every morning. According to ag teacher Matt McGinnis, Fred didn’t have a name before Johnson gave him one.
Johnson taught school in Florida for 32 years. She was born and bred there, and is a Florida State fan. She says she affectionately calls herself a “Gator Hater,” even though some of her extended family members attend the University of Florida. “We moved to Tennessee three years ago and built a retirement home near Fall Creek Falls. It was hard to leave our families, but we don’t miss the three H’s: heat, humidity and hurricanes, and the scenery is fabulous here. “I got tired of my career as a couch potato, so I started looking for a teaching position in Tennessee this past
summer. I saw the opening here, and I mailed my package and emailed Eddie Graham on a Sunday evening. On Monday morning, he called me and asked me to come in. “So, just a few days later and a week and a half before school started, I was hired. I love it here. Everyone here has been so helpful and friendly.” Before she left Florida she was teaching a class in Family and Consumer Science to pregnant teens. “When you think about it, the most important occupation that most everyone has is to become a parent, and there’s no required training for it.
