Phillips, former trustee, passes James “ Brother” Phillips, 69, Union County trustee for 28 years, passed away Sept. 18. Former County Mayor Larry Lay was an honorary pallbearer. “Bother enjoyed life maybe as much as anybody I’ve ever known,” said Lay. “He liked almost Brother Phillips everybody and a lot of people really liked him. He got elected however many terms with almost no politicking. He didn’t bother to have poll workers. “Brother really liked to fish – and eat fish. We went to baseball games together. Once upon a time, Brother got interested in drag races.” Mr. Phillips was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Maynardville. He was a 5th degree black belt of Isshinryu Karate and an instructor to many. He was also a faithful member of J.C. Baker Lodge No. 720. He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Deborah Phillips; daughter, Jana (Andy) Gibson; son, Kain Phillips; and daughter Brooke (Mason) Simpson. He left five grandchildren, three sisters and a brother, Ike Phillips, a former mayor of Maynardville. Trinity Funeral Home Chapel assisted the Phillips family with arrangements. Memorials may be made to First Baptist Church of Maynardville, P.O. Box 520, Maynardville TN 37807, or to J.C. Baker Lodge No. 720, P.O. Box 161, Maynardville TN 37807.

By Libby Morgan The Betterway musical group has become a busy bunch lately, and they’re polishing up for two shows at the Heritage Festival this Saturday, Oct. 4, at Wilson Park. The group, all born and bred Union Countians, will kick off the lineup at the gazebo at 10:30 p.m. and will play another set on the Front Porch stage at 2:45 p.m. The band started way back in the ’70s as The Betterway Quartet bluegrass band, and current bass player Johnny Raley says, “They had really good success. They recorded seven albums, appeared on ‘Mull Singing Convention,’ and went a lot of places. “But everywhere they went, they got to noticing whenever they
played gospel, more people paid attention. “So The Betterway Quartet became a gospel group.” “The Betterway kinda got burnt out in the ’90s, but then in 2009, the original four got back together and that’s when Wade Brantley and I joined in. “Jerry Cole Sr. passed away and we really struggled to get the right formula after we lost him. He was the backbone of the group. I left for a while, and now I’m back.” And now the group is re-energized. Cole’s daughter, Savannah Brogan, asked the group if she could practice with them. She had always sung at home with family and in church. “Savannah has been a blessing.
Just exactly what we needed,” says Raley. “We’ve had two bookings with her, and everybody seems to love us. The bookings are really coming in now. “We were at no bookings and now we’re covered up, and everything we’ve got scheduled is close to home.” The group plays at community gatherings and churches. The band, including original members Dannie Peters and Neal Walker, is joined at times by Johnathan Brogan, Savanah’s stepson, and Dannie’s son Brad Peters. Bill Turner of Claiborne County, the third remaining original member, has retired from the group.

Luttrell senior center director Linda Damewood shares a joke with Catholic seminarian Charles Aketch.
Melba Greene sings early in the day. Greene is a lifelong Luttrell resident and talented singer.
Lynn Sexton’s truck dominated the cruise-in at the festival with Trevor Graham and Richard Hilgerson enjoying the craftmanship. Sexton says, “How’s this, Jimmy?” as an inside joke.
Luttrell enjoys great weather for festival “Luttrell is full of good helpers,” says Mayor Johnny Merritt. “We’ve got Mayme Taylor in charge of the festival, and she is surrounded by the good people of our city. “I’m very impressed with the organization and the teamwork of the event. It’s our best one ever.” Former mayor Phil Ruth spent his day shuttling folks from the school parking lot to the festival grounds. He says, “Luttrell Park was a weedy field just a few short years ago, and our community building was just a plan. We’ve seen our hard work put in place, and now we get to watch it grow. “It’s great to see the younger generation get involved and put their energy into making Luttrell better and better.” The weather was hot and sunny, and a big crowd enjoyed a full slate of entertainment, food and crafts sales. The Luttrell VFD provided cornbread and beans, and the senior citizens brought homemade goodies. Michelle Liford and her team of volunteers auctioned off a couple dozen baskets. She says, “We are very pleased with the outcome of our auction.” Merritt continues, “This is Luttrell’s year. Not only are we celebrating our 50th birthday, we have received a $200,000 50/50 grant for improving the park. We plan to use it for lighting, more parking and building

Our community is using this park. “We have a commitment of $300,000 for replacing the bridge on Front Street, and more grant money is on the horizon. TDOT has promised a meeting with us in November about upcoming road work. “We’re opening bids soon for the new version of building plans for the city hall. Steve Nisley has done an incredible job heading up the building committee. All I can take credit for is appointing him to the job.”

The leadership of Tennessee Lions
An impressive impression One sunny day in the summer of 1974 a gentleman visited our home on Old Luttrell Road. I had never met him before, but he had a magnetic personality. He gave me a gift. Even though I was only nine years old and not yet eligible to vote, he gave me a poster with his picture on it and “politicked” with me just like I was an adult with privileges. I drove a rusty nail into the front porch and displayed that poster proudly. My newfound friend, to my joy, won that election. I first got to vote in 1984, and I voted for him every time he ran. So did most of the rest of the county, for he served seven terms as Union County trustee. I saw James E. “Brother” Phillips many times in the following years, and every time I saw him he was exactly like the first time we met. Brother had a way of saying hello that just made me feel good, even on the worst of days. He always made me feel that he was truly glad to see me and really interested in how things were. A few years later Brother and his family moved into Green Acres subdivision, making him my close neighbor. And there was never a better one. Brother was always willing to lend a hand when needed. I remember once he climbed onto our porch roof and fi xed a loose piece of weatherboarding. After I took my driving test – consisting of four left turns around the Union County courthouse – Brother drove me home, as I was still insecure driving in the “heavy” downtown Maynardville traffic.
Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME My mother once found amusement at Brother’s expense. He was sitting in an aisle seat at First Baptist Church, holding one of his children on his lap. All of a sudden, the youngster grabbed Brother’s glasses and threw them down the aisle. Brother calmly but quickly retrieved his “specs” as if nothing had happened. And Brother had a fun-loving streak. Brother liked to play and tell the occasional joke, and every time he talked laughter was bubbling under the surface. Brother was a very talented man who served his community not only as an elected official, but also as a karate instructor. He was also in demand for his work detailing cars. Brother was one of the first people I met who made me feel important, and for that he will always have a treasured place in my memory. The lesson Brother taught is that no one is too young or unremarkable to be special. He never catered only to those who could help him; he saw every individual as worthy of respect and treated them accordingly. The world is better because Brother Phillips got to stop by for a while. May the same be said of us all until our time comes to meet Brother once again.
Tennessee Lions are just jumping with joy at the thought of giving to the world its fourth president of Lions International. Clifford Pierce of Memphis was the first Tennessean to serve as president of Lions International in 194647. Since I was still a child, I do not know much more of his history as a Lion. Edward Milton “Ed” Lindsey of Lawrenceburg was president of Lions International from 1966-68. Afterwards, he served as president of Tennessee Lions Charities, chaired the board of Ed Lindsey Industries for the Blind and was instrumental in the development of the Lions’ Nursing Home and the Ed Lindsey Lions Retirement Home. He also served as mayor of Lawrenceburg from 1951-1955, and he died in 2011 at age 95. Austin P. Jennings was
Bonnie Peters
elected president of Lions International in 1988 and immediately organized a Sight Symposium attended by world leaders in ophthalmology. From that meeting in Singapore came the program known as SightFirst. Jennings also served as lead gifts coordinator for Campaign SightFirst, now known as Kidsight, and Union County Lions are participating in that effort. He recently published a 544-page pictorial history of Cannon County, Tenn. Jennings, who lives at Woodbury, had the honor of introducing the next presi-
Rage against the machine If Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charles “Charlie” Brown didn’t exist we’d have to invent him. Brown is an original, a putative Democrat whose hot-button issues include raising the speed limit on interstate highways, support for the National Rifle Association, increasing the deer population to benefit hunters and giving the Bible a prominent role in public education. Brown topped three other candidates in the Democratic primary, most notably John McKamey, a former teacher, Sullivan County mayor and county commissioner endorsed by the AFL-CIO. Only 227,000 votes were cast, so McKamey may have been tripped up by the alphabet. But Brown is no Mark

Clayton, the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate who slipped onto the ballot and was later found to be associated with a hate group: if Brown hates anything, it’s the power represented by the Haslam fortune. Brown, 72, says it was a letter he wrote in which he accused Gov. Haslam of approving hundreds of millions of dollars in construction contracts to outof-state companies that won him the support he needed in the primary. That, along with “getting down on my knees and asking the good Lord to help me.”
dent of Lions International at the reception for Bob Corlew on Sept. 15. After Corlew’s election in Toronto at the international convention, plans were made to honor Bob and wife Diane with a reception. The 116-member Fairfield Glade club at Crossville offered to host the reception. About 200 Lions from across the state gathered to offer their support and good wishes to Bob and Diane. They’ve been traveling so much lately that when their little grandson was asked where his grandparents lived, he replied, “at the airport.” Bob will take over as president at the International Convention in Chicago in 2016. Many Tennesseans are already making plans to go. This is a great thing for Lions and a great thing for Tennessee. Corlew, who retired Sept. 10 as chancellor for Rutherford Coun-
ty, Tenn., g a i n e d some recent notoriety and TV publicity when he presided over the court case concernBob Corlew ing building a mosque in Rutherford County. Union County Lions are doing a really worthy job with Kidsight screening and providing glasses to those with limited incomes. If you would like to be a part of this great work through membership in the largest service organization in the world, give Ronnie Mincey, Darrell Malone, Bill Sexton or any Union County Lion a call. The club meets the third Monday of each month at noon at Hardee’s in Maynardville.
Unless the Lord slips him several million for his campaign and sends a professional campaign manager his way, Brown won’t be taking up residence in Nashville anytime soon, but he remains undaunted. “Roy Herron (Tennessee Democratic Party chair) tried to get me to drop out (in favor of McKamey),” Brown said, but what’s a lowly party chair to a man unafraid of Haslam money? In his grey trilby hat, jeans and cowboy boots, Brown looks as if he might be on holiday from the farm. In fact, he has farmed as well as worked in construction. “I’m just a redneck hillbilly, a hard-working man,” he said. “I’m for the people who pay taxes.” Brown’s campaign literature consists of copies of letters to the editor and diatribes against the Haslams and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Association composed with little regard for
grammar or spelling. He would be easy to spoof, but he takes his campaign seriously and aligns Charlie Brown with fellow D emo c r at s on issues like raising the minimum wage and expanding Medicaid in the state. His good intentions aside, “Charlie” Brown is the poster boy for the deplorable state of the Democratic party in Tennessee. With Brown on the ballot for governor, a candidate who had to be gently reminded that he belongs not to the “Democrat” party but to the “Democratic,” it would seem the demoralization of Tennessee Democrats is complete. Brown plaintively asks, “How do we get more Democrats on the ballot?” Good question, Charlie, and electable ones at that.

Florida is a fierce rivalry Being old and steeped in tradition, I prefer orange and white uniforms. Tennessee-Alabama is my game of choice. I cling to the hope that the Volunteers will, some day, make it competitive again. I do not grasp the concept of alternative gridiron apparel, any more than forcing Smokey to swap out with a migratory kangaroo. I do understand younger enthusiasts focusing on Florida as a favorite foe. There are many reasons – in addition to Steve Spurrier comments and what the Gators did to Peyton Manning and Phillip Fulmer. Tennessee and Florida developed a fierce football fight relatively late in life. They became annual opponents only when the SEC expanded in 1992. In the previous 100 years, they played 21 times. Roots do run deep. In 1950, former Tennessee tackle Bob Woodruff became head coach at Florida. He hired former Tennessee head coach Harvey Robinson as a helper. Woodruff lasted 10 years and was replaced by former Tennessee center Ray Graves. Graves won enough in his 10 years to earn entry into the College Hall of Fame. Part of his success was the recruitment of Spurrier, quarterback from Johnson City. He went on to win the Heisman Trophy and some Tennesseans are still ticked. The Tennessee-Florida tango created strange twists and turns. In time, Woodruff returned to Tennessee as an assistant coach and evolved into athletic director. He hired Doug Dickey, former Florida quarterback, to
Soccer team looks toward tournament The Patriots girls’ soccer team continues to shut out many competitors and won a recent game against Austin-East 4-0. Coach Hannah Richardson says, “Our girls have worked cohesively. They understand the importance of obtaining the win. “Jessica Bravo played impressively at midfield. Haley Summers was moved to forward to assist Tori Lay and Macayla Henderson in scoring.” The team will be contenders in the district tournament in mid-October.

coach the Volunteers. Dickey imported Jimmy Dunn, another former Florida quarterback, as offensive coordinator. The ultimate irony was the 1969 Gator Bowl, Florida against Tennessee. Dickey was affiliated with both teams, still coaching the Volunteers after agreeing to become coach of the Gators. Some Tennessee people still wonder about Florida’s 14-13 victory. Dickey lasted nine years at his alma mater, enjoyed modest success and helped develop the aforementioned Spurrier as a coach. Spurrier later became Florida’s guiding light and a proverbial thorn in Tennessee f lesh. Dickey eventually returned to Tennessee as athletic director and lived happily ever after. There has been plenty of heat through the years, in the swamp and on the hill. The underhanded fax was a hot feature. Tennessee-Florida really f lamed up in Gainesville in 1977, Dickey’s Gators against John Majors’ first group of Volunteers. The visitors fought on even terms for 58 minutes but finally fell behind by a field goal. Tennessee was unable to counter and gave up the ball on downs on the wrong side of the 50. Florida got a touchdown with 46 seconds to go. That was that, 10-point deficit. Out of obligation, the Vols fielded the kick-
off but fumbled on first down. Thirteen seconds remained. Florida’s band (this was before canned music) was leading the celebration. Down on the grass, the greedy Gators decided to go for blood. Tony Green ran 15 toward the goal. The clock said :03 when Florida called time to squeeze in one more play. Quarterback Terry LeCount jogged over to consult with Dickey. Assistant coach Kim Helton was supposedly yelling “Throw it, throw it!” On the Tennessee sideline, quarterback Joe Hough lost part of his composure and announced that, by damn, if LeCount threw a pass, he was going after him. LeCount fired what looked like a touchdown to Wes Chandler. That an official ruled it beyond the end line did not dampen Joe’s fire. He led the angry charge. An ugly brawl developed. Coach Helton was knocked down. Noses were bloodied. Lips were split. Feelings were severely damaged. Dickey later denied responsibility for the timeout and the late pass but contributed a great closing comment: “I told everybody that the Volunteers would be a fighting team. They proved me correct right up until five minutes after the game.” Connections continue. Kurt Roper, former second-generation Tennessee assistant coach, is offensive coordinator of the Gators. Tennessee-Florida remains a worthy middleweight bout. Bring it on.

God’s do-over The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, “I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created – people together with animals and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. (Genesis 6:5-8 NRSV)

Thank goodness for the goodness of Noah. God was ready to wipe the slate absolutely clean, with no indication of a plan to start over. But there was Noah. A good man. This is a story we learn in Sunday school at a very young age. I still have my first Bible that my parents gave to me on my eighth birthday. The pages have a few color pictures included, and one of them is a picture of Noah on the deck of the ark setting a dove free to search for land. Another influence on my understanding of this story is John Huston’s movie “The Bible,” in which Huston himself plays the part of Noah. In it, Mrs. Noah frets over what to feed the lions and tigers, and Noah reassures her, “We will give them milk. After all, they’re just great cats!” So, what does this story

mean to us in today’s world? Aside from the obvious warning that sinfulness has consequences, we can take away some learnings about God and about ourselves. God cares deeply about this world – our little earth as well as the vast cosmos. God loves us, and wants us
to return that love to Him and to share it with each other. God is hurt and saddened by our sins, because, like every good parent, God wants the best for His children. Which perhaps accounts for the best news of all: that God is willing to forgive us.
Introducing my friend Three years ago, my wife and I had a chance meeting and became good friends with Penny (last name withhheld). Through the years wee have known her, she’s been n a good friend to both of us. s. Let me tell you a little bit itt about Penny. First of all, as a friend, she’s loyal. To my knowledge, she’s never broken a confidence, never talked behind my back to other people and has always been a good listener. She doesn’t drink alcohol, she doesn’t smoke nor does she engage in any substance abuse. In the three years we’ve known her, we’ve never heard her tell a dirty joke, swear, gossip about someone or tell a lie. Many people would call my friend a “good Christian.” And yet, I’ve been describing my dog, Penny. Friends, we need to learn that being a Christian involves more than merely refraining from evil. There’s a world of difference between my dog, Penny, and a good Christian! Being a Christian involves an active pursuit of doing that which is good.
Steve Higginbotham And beyond that, regardless of how “good” one may be, he is not a Christian until he belongs to Christ through obedience to the gospel. Please, don’t confuse a dog with a Christian. Steve Higginbotham is pulpit minister for the Karns Church of Christ. Info: higginbotham.steve@gmail.com/.

Arm and wrist pain Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Pain that occurs in various parts of the body can often be traced back to a spinal issue. Arm and wrist pain, for instance, is not an uncommon affliction for a clerical worker or some other person who spends substantial time at a computer keyboard. Misaligned vertebrae – the individual bones that make up the spine – can cause problems in distant parts of the body. The misalignment can compress nerves that emanate from the spine and cause pain, weakness or numbness in the wrist and arm. Obviously, such an issue can affect job performance. Sometimes stress is put on the spine by a posture issue. In the case of the secretary, for instance, hours of leaning over a desk or keyboard could aggravate a certain part of the spine. The irritation can cause inflammation of muscles and ligaments
that surround those vertebrae and the inflammation can compress the nerves emanating from those bones. Before long, the secretary’s condition will be in full bloom. Chiropractic treatment for such a condition may include manipulation to realign the vertebrae and ease the compression. It also may include use of ice packs to reduce soft tissue inflammation. And your chiropractor may recommend a regimen of stretches and exercises. If you have any sort of chronic pain or numbness, talk with your chiropractor about whether treatment is right for you.
