By Libby Morgan On a recent weekend, more than 150 Boy Scouts and leaders from the Echota District took over the ball field and lawns near the Big Ridge State Park office, with tents set up in troop “campsites.” Maynardville’s Troop 401, led by Linda Myers and Bill Collins, hosted the “camporee” for troops from North Knox and Union counties. Myers and her guys designed the gathering with a lumberjack theme, giving Scouts lots of opportunities for fun and educational activities. “Our troop prepared for the camporee for two months,” says Myers. “We cut poplar and cedar trees from a farm for our competitions. It’s a good, straight, fairly soft wood, and the bark doesn’t catch the handsaw teeth. “Setting up for our tree-felling contest was a lot of work. The park staff helped us dig 22 post holes so we could ‘plant’ the logs upright. The boys had to fell the ‘tree’ with an axe and aim it toward a flag on the ground. A few of the Scouts hit it right on the mark.” Other competitions were campsite inspection, crosscut-sawing, balancing on logs in the water

Dual-purpose athletes at UT Track and field Volunteers from the Chuck Rohe era, hoping against hope that their sport will be revitalized at Tennessee, visualize football giving it a boost by recruiting a few multi-talented athletes. They recall how Richmond Flowers, Willie Gault, Chip Kell and maybe a dozen others were very good in two sports. They were on football scholarships but were major contributors to the hurdles, sprints and weights.

and on land, cedar rail-splitting, tug-of-war, moving logs and bowsawing. Points were awarded and the host troop took home the district trophy. “Our boys wanted that trophy back, and they got it. We haven’t had possession of it since the fall of 2012,” says Myers. Orrin Warwick, a new Eagle Scout, won the Eagle Challenge of a timed one-person crosscut competition. As this camporee’s winner, he will come up with the next season’s Eagle Challenge. Echota district camporees are held in fall, winter and spring. Zophia Kneiss, a New Tazewell metal artist, demonstrated blacksmithing, and the Scouts made rope and tried out old-timey wood tools. Linda’s husband, Billy Myers, set up their Timber King portable sawmill and cut lumber to the park rangers’ specifications, with Scouts observing the methods of turning logs into boards. After the event, true to the Boy Scout code, the only evidence left on the grounds was a bit of sawdust here and there. More photos on page 2
Stand Down to help homeless veterans By Anne Hart
“Stand down” is a phrase familiar to military veterans. During war time, stand down offers battle-weary soldiers the opportunity for rest and relaxation away from the front lines. The phrase has taken on additional meaning for America’s estimated 200,000 homeless veterans who today “combat” life on the streets, because Stand Down is the name chosen for a one-day nationwide event which offers those veterans the opportunity to gather in their own communities to get help for the many problems
Dennis Powers State Representative 36th District
they face. This year’s area Stand Down will be from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, at the National Guard Armory, 3300 Sutherland Ave. The community-based Knoxville Area VeterClyde Vincent ans Stand Down, an all-volunteer veterans organization, and service providers will give homeless veterans access to the community resources they need to begin ad-
dressing their individual problems and rebuilding their lives. Remote Area Medical and others will offer medical and dental care, eyeglasses, clothing and other items. Both breakfast and lunch will be served. Clyde Vincent, program manager for the homeless veterans program operated locally as an adjunct of Volunteers of America, says the program has three components: helping homeless veterans get back to work, supportive services for veterans and their families that help them get into housing, and a program dealing
specifically with female veterans and veterans with children. The organization is now working with more than 250 homeless veterans in Knox and 12 surrounding counties. “These people are not looking for a handout,” Vincent said, “they want to get back to work.” Supportive services help veterans and their families “get into housing and stay in housing. We help them with rent, utilities and the deposits they need to get into housing, and we also help them set up budgets. This is a one-time opportunity.” Info: 607-6231.

Come to the water “You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb. I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works.” (Psalm 139:13-14) No one is born as an accident – NO ONE. Some people’s birth may not have been in the plan of their parents, but every birth, without exception, is planned by God the Creator and origin of all Life. With all today’s modern science, the conception of an individual still includes elements of surprise and mystery. Only God places a soul in a child and every child is a gift from God. Fr. Steve Pawelk
If this truth registered deep in our being, we and the world would be in better shape. There is constantly people who struggle with their self worth and self image. Sometimes this happens because one’s parents did not demonstrate their value or their parent’s weaknesses affected them negatively. Yet, if we do not know we are loved, beautiful and our very being gives God joy, then it is difficult to love others or ourselves. Instead we become bitter, cynical or possible even depressed and angry.
There really is only one reason any of us is born on earth and that is because our very being – that we live – gives God joy. God creates us because His love is boundless. Our primary task on earth is to praise Him. Furthermore, in His unconditional love, He trusts us to continue to establish His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Therefore, every person is precious. That is why Jesus tells us we should love our enemy (MT 5:43) and Paul writes “if your enemy is hungry, feed him, if he is thirsty, give him something to drink;” (Rom 12:20). If we understand that as a Loving Father, God wishes everyone to join His Son, our brother Jesus, at the table of the Lord, then it follows that we cannot hate or wish harm to any person, to any of our brothers and sisters. Remember from your mother’s womb you are wonderfully made … and so is everyone in the world.

Which America do you want? By Cindy Taylor Many people will tell you they have a heart for this nation. First-time author Lesa K. Smith has put her heart into her new book, “Love Letters to America.” Smith’s book deals with tough issues, but she claims she’s just an ordinary woman living life much like many other wives, mothers and grandmothers in this country. Smith has been married for 39 years and has one son and three grandchildren. She has been a Bible teacher for more than 25 years. She hopes her book will help guide Americans in the direction God has for individuals and for the country. “I believe we all have a
correctly charted course laid before us – a destiny written by God,” she said. “If we aren’t careful we can c h a n g e course easily and head in the wrong Lesa Smith direction.” Chapters are devoted to adoption, television programming and children who are hurting, to name a few. Smith also believes strongly in building Christian homes and schools. “Lesa is an amazing person who has written an insightful book,” said Beaver Dam Baptist Church
minister of education Tim Hopkins. The book was edited by Dr. Charles Earl, associate pastor at the church, where Lesa is a member. “I hope my book will bless, guide, challenge and minister the truth in a time of crisis and that my readers will share with those who are hurting and need encouragement,” said Smith. “Most of all I hope that they will see answers and solutions that God has already provided. I don’t want anyone to miss out on what Jesus died to give them.” Purchase “Love Letters to America” at Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

fee Company gives their employees paid community service time. They got in touch with us through the National Public Lands Day web site. Scheduling trash pick-ups on this day gives us a whole lot of networking, and people like the Green Mountain group call us to volunteer.” Comments from the Green Mountain group: “It’s a mystery why people come out to enjoy the beautiful lake and leave ugly trash. We had a great time today. Most of us have never been out here before. We’ll be back.”
James Riddle and his mom, Donna, speak to the group of cattle farmers.

Rick, Donna and their son James are harvesting and taking their produce to market while planting winter crops. They’re also raising and selling some of the best beef around. And they’re completing their winery building with hopes of starting the first batch soon. The winemaker of the Riddle family is daughter Nickie, who is due in later this month from Clarksville, Tenn., where she has been making wine for several years. The family has planted a hillside of several grape varieties, high enough so that a freeze is less likely to damage the vines. A mature acre of blueberries may supply the fruit for one of their wines. Knox County director of UT Ag Extension Neal Denton and horticulture agent David Vandergriff were at the farm, and Vandergriff spoke about water. “One thing that all of us in agriculture have in common is water. Water is a big issue, and it’s going to be a bigger issue in the near future. We will have water quantity issues and when we do, farmers need to be able to show their usage. “If the situation warrants a trial at court, farmers need to be in a defendable position. “Don’t take water for granted.” Rick Riddle added, “We can use as much as 30,000 gallons a day at times to keep our crops irrigated.” With the cattle on a grass diet supplemented with allnatural feed, the beef from Seven Springs Farm is in high demand by repeat customers. “A new USDA processing plant closer to our area, up in Tazewell, would be great. It’s four hours up and back

Bus wait (mis)adventures As students at Maynardville Elementary, I think it was more enjoyable for most of us when bus wait was held in individual classrooms rather than in the gym. The most (un)fortunate part of this setup was the increased opportunity for (mis)behavior. In Wanza Sharp’s fourth grade, I remember a flower on her desk. While goofing off during bus wait, I turned over the vase and spilled
water all over her desk. I was afraid to try to clean it up as it was well understood that students did not bother anything on or in a teacher’s desk for any reason. (Teachers’ desks were as sacred as women’s purses.) I spent a restless night worrying about what Ms. Sharp would do. First thing next day, she asked, “Who spilled this water on my desk?” I thought then, and still do, that it is better to
confess and seek forgiveness than to cover up. I admitted my guilt, Ms. Sharp cleaned her desk, and not another word was ever said. In Pauline Dyer’s fifth grade, we were playing kickball in the classroom. A vase of dried flowers sat on top of the intercom speaker, and either Darrell Haynes or Teresa Dyer kicked the ball straight into that vase. It shattered into a zillion pieces. I sobbed out loud as

I knew we all were going to suffer tremendously for this great injustice. I don’t remember anything ever being said about that incident, either. It was in fifth or sixth grade bus wait that some of the girls came up with a song. They would stand in a row with their arms on each other’s shoulders and sing, “O, Father Abraham, with seven sons to serve, with seven sons to serve.” I to this day don’t have a clue what those girls were singing about, but they sure did look cute! Unfortunately, the boys came up with a much baser song about Old

Amazingly, we managed never to destroy anything larger than a flower vase or set the school on fire, and none of us ever suffered physical damage. With a new principal in seventh grade, things changed, and afternoon bus wait for the entire school moved to the gym, where it is kept to this day. This setup was much less enjoyable, as students were required to sit in silence on the hard gym bleachers in a large group, sometimes close to students with whom we weren’t that familiar. That’s one thing I’ve never missed. Next week I will discuss the person responsible for getting every student on the proper bus during my entire elementary school career.

Dual-sport athletes are rare Track and field Volunteers from the Chuck Rohe era, hoping against hope that their sport will be revitalized at Tennessee, visualize football giving it a boost by recruiting a few multitalented athletes. They recall how Richmond Flowers, Willie Gault, Chip Kell and maybe a dozen others were very good in two sports. They were on football scholarships but were major contributors to the hurdles, sprints and weights. Sounds good. Indeed, high schools across America do have superb athletes dividing their talents into various fun and games. There is a flip side.

If you decode that, it says dual-sport college athletes are, for the most part, a relic of the past. Competition is so fierce, specialization is required.

lebrity. He was a Tennessee basketball All-American, captain of an SEC championship team, and good enough as a punter to win a job in the NFL. He lettered in baseball and considered a fling at pro golf. Condredge Holloway was a very entertaining quarterback and infielder who won fame and some fortune in Canadian pro football. Before that, he was the No. 1 baseball draft choice of Montreal. UCLA coach John Wooden thought basketball was his best game. Condredge had to shave points to lose ping-pong matches with coach Bill Battle. Indeed, Gault was multitalented. He was fast and nimble of feet and mind (NFL receiver, Super Bowl
Shuffle?) He was on the 1980 Olympic team that was told to boycott Moscow. He earned a spot on the 1988 Olympic bobsled team. There was a time when Flowers was the best hurdler in the world. His football speed and determination took him to the NFL. Kell made it to the College Football Hall of Fame and was SEC champ in the shot put. Karl Kremser kicked field goals and extra points and was SEC champ in the high jump. Many other football players – Leonard Scott, Rashad Baker, Jabari Greer and Darwin Walker come to mind – were strong enough in track events to score in NCAA or conference meets. One of my favorite dualsport stories involves Doug Atkins. He came to Tennessee on a basketball scholarship and once scored 38 in a freshman game. He didn’t
Pigs on Hill’s hill UT Ag Extension agent Shannon DeWitt encouraged her 4-Hers to start raising pigs, and middle schoolers Kennedy Hill and Savannah Jones, among others, decided it sounded like fun. Kennedy’s parents built a roomy pen way up on the hill in their backyard, along with a washing station so she can get the critters used to being given a bath. Her pigs, Ellie and Mae, are young Herefords, and they love marshmallows. “We found Hereford pigs in North Carolina and drove over and picked them when they were little. They’ll be about 250 pounds by the time we show them in Murfreesboro in January,� says Kennedy. Savannah says, “My dad
really want to play football but Robert R. Neyland had other ideas, firm ideas. Atkins gave up basketball and became a legend in football, SEC player of a quarter century, 1950-74. He dominated most of 17 seasons as an NFL defensive end. Quarterbacks supposedly feared for their lives. Herb Neff (jumper in basketball and track) talked Doug into trying the high jump. This giant man (rumored to be 6-8) wasn’t much for technique but had enough leg drive to simply jump and dive over the bar. He cleared 6-6 in an SEC meet.

Doug was asked why he bothered. “Meal money,� he said. “There was always enough for a hamburger and a few beers.� The idea of Volunteers playing more than one sport goes back very close to the beginning.

The canary in the coal mine is trying to tell us something, and we would be wise to listen. How do we justify our wastefulness of food when so many are hungry in our own communities? How do we ignore the pleas for justice, for fairness, for equality, for truth? Do we not hear the cries of the world? Kingsolver goes on: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are disinclined as a nation to assign any moral value at all to our habits of consumption. But the circle of our family is large â&#x20AC;Ś and as we arrive at the end of our frontiers we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly be surprised that the rest of the family would have us live within our means.â&#x20AC;?

Then God said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.â&#x20AC;? So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1: 26-27 NRSV)

Sadly, it may require us to look at the world that way for us to understand that we have to change some things. Protecting our own safety may require us to be concerned enough to comprehend how many hungry people there are in this world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; infants, the elderly, and everyone in between â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and further, to do something about it. There are people I know
personally who are serving as missionaries in Africa, digging wells, teaching Sunday school classes, planting gardens, fighting malaria with nets provided by their friends and colleagues here. They are brave and caring people who also know that we humans have no place else to go. We must â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; become people who know that until the world is safe for everyone, it is safe for no one. It is then incumbent on us to make it so.

Meet Wyatt Hurst
My sister, Becky Calloway, delivered a baby last week. It was her seventh grandson, Wyatt Hurst, son of Adam and Katherine Hurst and little brother to Ben. Seems Katherine was sent home rather than admitted at a hospital (which
shall remain nameless). Two hours later she went into labor. Luckily, Becky, a registered nurse by training, was handy and Wyatt Hurst delivered little Wyatt right at home in Possum Holler. There’s no telling what Wyatt will become, but from the looks of this picture at day two, we can bet he’ll have a sense of humor. ■

Quotable
“Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.” - Mark Twain
When American Meb Keflezighi (pron. kuhFLEZ-ghee) crossed the finish line first at this year’s emotional 2014 Boston Marathon, he had a team of supporters to thank. Among them was his chiropractor, San Diego-based Devin Young, DC. Their relationship began some four years ago when the runner was at an elite training center in California. After winning the grueling 26.2-mile event in Boston in April, Keflezighi had this to say to the staff
of Dynamic Chiropractic regarding his chiropractor: “As an elite athlete, recovery and therapy is essential to staying healthy and competitive. I have seen Dr. Devin Young as my chiropractor for years and see him twice a week during training. His care has been especially helpful leading up to and including the Boston Marathon. I have been able to recover faster and easier after races.” As Young told the magazine, the primary goal of chiropractic adjust-
ment is the “reduction of interference in the body.” Pre- and postcompetition treatment allow for, respectively, “maximum performance on race day,” and “optimum healing.” You don’t have to be an elite marathon runner to benefit from regular treatment by a chiropractor. But if you have an athletic passion, talk with your chiropractor about how treatment might help your performance.
