Sen. Bob Corker visits county U.S. Sen. Bob Corker visited Maynardville last week, speaking to a few dozen people at the senior center. ““I’ve been in the Senate for eight years, and one of the most disappointing things to me is that we have not solved one problem that was of a serious nature. Not one. “We keep skating and we keep doing these short-term extensions. It’s been continually frustrating to me.”

Remembering Sam Chesney Sam Chesney was a quiet man who faithfully did his job, always friendly to everyone. He was a humble man, and that is what made him great. Sam Chesney exemplified the words of Lincoln: “Live a good life. And in the end, it’s not the years in a life, but the life in the years.” That is the lesson that Sam Chesney taught well.

Persimmon predictions Bonnie Peters is convinced she can predict the weather from the shape inside a persimmon seed. Problem is getting to those seeds. ... “The first year, I used pliers to open the little seeds. It works, but it is also easy to smash the seed and not get a good half showing a spoon, fork or knife. “This year I tried using a sharp paring knife. This works also, but because even after cleaning, the seeds are somewhat slick, I suggest using gloves to prevent getting cut in case the knife slips.” In a story that’s probably funnier than Bonnie meant for it to be, check out this year’s predictions.

th

10 time charm Heritage Festival called best ever By Libby Morgan Thousands gathered in Maynardville for the 10th annual Union County Heritage Festival, where music and laughter filled Wilson Park. Marie Rhyne, who swears this is her last year as head of the festival committee, says, “This is a great year for me to end on. We had beautiful weather, a big crowd, and, as far as I could tell, everyone had a great time.” The sunny day was dampened for those who knew and loved Mary Cooper Cox, who succumbed to cancer two days before the festival. “We know Mary would have wanted us to celebrate her life by sharing the fellowship here today,” says a friend who asked to not be identified. “Our prayers are with her family, and we’ll be gathering this evening to honor her. She was brave and courageous and she loved each and every one of us.” The festival committee recognized several participants for their efforts. The Rocky Top Award went to Trinity Funeral Home for the best booth design. Lynn Prichard received the Best Demonstration Award for her yoyo making quilt demonstration.

Gloria Holcomb was given the Best Costume Award, and Item of Distinction Awards went to Marty McConnaughey for her gourd art Eagle, Shirley Keaton for a Civil War painting, Union Baptist Church for festive fall wreaths and the Masons for their apple butter. Pie contest results The Heritage Festival pie contest grand champion is Ashley Mike, who received a $100 prize for her skillet apple pie.

Safety concerns delay 33 Bridge – again By Libby Morgan The 33 Bridge project is on hold until state inspectors are convinced that all safety regulations have been met. Here’s an update from Mark Nagi, community relations officer for Region I: “The old bridge is still acceptable for use, but does maintain load restrictions as noted on several signs leading to the bridge location. The load restrictions do restrict travel for large commercial loads thus emphasizing the need to complete the new bridge as quickly as possible.” Following our request for information, Nagi wrote:

“In March 2014, our regional staff wanted to further investigate the concrete strength in the drilled shafts (support columns that extend into bedrock and are approximately 100 feet below the water surface). “TDOT requested several cores be taken at each shaft. Piers 2 and 3 were deemed acceptable. “Further investigation continued at drilled shaft 5R. “At this time, the contractor has provided a plan to TDOT for additional measures to be taken to ensure TDOT requirements are met. The contractor is now scheduling work that provides a method of cleaning to 3 core holes

in the drilled shaft and then fill with a pressurized grout to seal any voids or crevices found. “The beams cannot be erected from the southern abutment due to the size of beams and area of storage. All work will be required from the northern abutment that is currently on hold due to the drilled shaft remediation efforts. “Additional information will be distributed to local partners and the public as new timeframes are submitted to TDOT by the contractor. “At this time, the Department understands target dates will not be met as anticipated, but no updated schedule can be delivered

The event is sponsored by Union County ICARe drug use prevention program. ICARe coordinator Mike Miller says, “We want to reach out to our young people with an afternoon of fun, food and music, and at the same time, help them understand the consequences of drug use. Erik Ainge has agreed to share his story with us. “We will also have Ted Greene speaking. Ted lost his son to a drunk driver and he gives a very touching talk about the accident.” The event celebrates Red Ribbon Week, and Miller says there will be refreshments, a DJ and door prizes. ICARe also plans to hold a mock crash for the students in early November, with HOSA students and emergency workers attending to the “victims.”

Bob Corker visits senior center

U.S. Sen. Bob Corker visited Maynardville last week, speaking to a few dozen people at the senior center. He said he is traveling through the state and wants to hear what people say, and to convey his thoughts on three issues: where we are in the world and his take on foreign policy, the economy

and jobs, and control of the Senate after the November elections. ““I’ve been in the Senate for eight years, and one of the most disappointing things to me is that we have not solved one problem that was of a serious nature. Not one. “We keep skating and we keep doing these short-term extensions. It’s been continually frustrating to me,” he says. The most enthusiastic moment of the meeting, by far, was the applause when, after Corker asked if there were any elected officials in the room, someone piped up: “Our new DA, Jared Effler!”

opinion Prognostic persimmons When the weather cools enough to sweeten the persimmons, it is also time to check the persimmon weather prediction. I did just that this week.

Bonnie Peters

Remember, persimmon signs are: A winter of heavy snows is confirmed by cracking a persimmon seed, which will show the image of a spoon. The spoon also suggests a fairly mild winter. The persimmon philosophy also says a warm, rainy winter will be confirmed by the image of a fork in the persimmon seeds that particular year. I must say I haven’t yet found a fork in a persimmon seed. I’ll check again next year. The most fierce winter weather – and hopefully the most rare – pattern is shown by the image of a knife in the persimmon seeds. The first year, I used pliers to open the little seeds. It works, but it is also easy to smash the seed and not get a good half showing a spoon, fork or knife. This year I tried using a sharp paring knife. This works also, but because even after cleaning, the seeds are somewhat slick, I suggest using gloves to prevent getting cut in case the knife slips. I now turn to the “Old Farmer’s Almanac� to see

Examples of a knife, fork and spoon in persimmon seeds

what those folks have to say about Appalachia’s upcoming weather. This is their summary: Winter will be colder and drier than normal with the coldest periods in early and later December, early January and early February. Snowfall will be near normal in the north and above normal in the south with the snowiest periods in early November and in mid-and late February. ‌ September and October will be a bit drier than normal with near normal temperatures. They list the average temperature for October as 53 degrees Fahrenheit and say that from Oct. 29 through 31, we should expect showers and flurries! Now, as for what I found in the persimmon seeds I cracked this year: a knife! I’ve heard these winters described as bitter cold with lots of ice to contend with. I guess it’s time to get prepared for one of those humdinger winters. Since I live in a ridge, I’ll start stocking up on necessities while it is still autumn.

Exemplary example For many years at Maynardville Elementary, every school day ended the same.

Elkins, Troy Corum First Load, Troy Corum First Load,â€? etc. When all the first routes had been loaded, some at Bertha Street and others at the east exit under the awning at the portable classrooms, that same kind voice called out, “Everybody gather in the gym to wait late bus.

Sam was a quiet man who faithfully did his job, always friendly to everyone. He was a humble man, and that is what made him great. I remember Sam for many years at Maynardville Baptist Church at the start of every service carrying a cup of water to the pulpit to ease the preacher’s throat, bringing to mind Matthew 10:42: “And whoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily, I say to you, he shall in no wise lose his reward,�

At least no news anchor has gone as far – yet – as Todd Kincannon, formerly general counsel and executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party. On Oct. 4, Kincannon tweeted, “People with Ebola in the U.S. need to be humanely put down immediately.� Apparently not sure he’d made his point, Kincannon followed with this tweet one minute later: “The protocol for a positive Ebola test should be immediate and humane execution and sanitization of the whole area. That will save lives.� No, that would make those who followed Kincannon’s “protocol� mass murderers, since the average mortality rate for the disease is 50 percent, and there is no way to predict who will survive.

Distressing evidence that the Shinola virus is infecting East Tennesseans has surfaced recently, and not just with respect to Ebola. “A big problem today is that young people ages 1017 have no jobs,� wrote a local resident in a letter to the editor. “I think the reason is that people who might hire them cannot afford to pay the government’s set wages.� Those pesky child labor laws are another reason companies might hesitate to hire a 10-year-old. Prolonged exposure to cable news Shinola likely led to fever and affected the letter writer’s judgment.

I was privileged to visit Sam and Florence Chesney many times in their home when my school days were over. I was always truly welcomed, not just tolerated. Sam would visit quietly and pleasantly for a few minutes, but he always liked to keep busy. He would slip out to do some errand and leave Mrs. Chesney and me to our catching up and reminiscing.

Ole Miss to save $50,000

Ole Miss hopes to save $50,000 on Saturday. Oxford students and more mature adults promise not to storm the field if/when the Rebels defeat Tennessee. They will not tear down goal posts, drink strong drink or cause a disturbance by parading around town, making loud noises. They will behave as if they have enjoyed previous success and now know how to handle it. Two weeks ago, half the state of Mississippi tumbled out of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and flooded the field when the triumph over Alabama was official. Oh my, the crowd was such as to make it difficult for rival coaches to find each other and shake hands. Nick Sa-

ban was bothered. The Southeastern Conference frowned on this and imposed a hefty fine. There is little tolerance for trespassing, unbecoming conduct or violations of the safety code. The SEC could have added another penalty because so-called security personnel aided and abetted girls scrambling over retaining walls. Corsages were protected. No fragile ankles

were sprained. Dainty knees were not skinned. That is Ole Miss. Nothing like that ever happens at Tennessee. There are no rowdy celebrations. UT students probably have more dignity. Never would they unceremoniously scamper onto the turf and hug a sweaty linebacker. Alas, on the occasion of big games, there are seldom offensive players to praise or congratulate. Well, maybe a receiver or two but the quarterback rarely has time to go deep. Do you remember the last time you had the urge to tear down a goal post? When did you last throw your hat into the air? It must have been when somebody else bought

lunch or your candidate won an election. There have been precious few glory days in the last several years of Tennessee football. Children are growing up with losing complexes. They cannot imagine the joy of thrashing Florida or Alabama. Top 10? Are you kidding? Our young know about scattered victories over Austin Peay and Western Kentucky and even Arkansas State. They know about hanging on against Troy and UAB. Unfortunately, they have been scarred, perhaps forever damaged, by losses to Vanderbilt. Psychologists are monitoring. Tennessee goes to Ole Miss with hat in hand. The

Vols will be grateful for anything good that happens, fewer turnovers, maybe an easy touchdown. This second half of October is a mighty challenge and the Rebels are just the beginning. If the schedule was more favorable, this would be the time of year when freshmen begin to look a little more like sophomores. They are certainly gaining loads of experience but much of it has been negative. Things really have changed at Mississippi. The Rebels have gone from traditional spoilers to potential champs. They may be good enough to stop worrying about visiting opponents and concentrate on new expectations. Some teams do find that achieving success is simpler than sustaining it. This is not Tennessee’s

College App Week at UCHS Students at Union County High School had college on their minds (and on their shirts) during College App Week. The kids were encouraged to wear college shirts to school, and the GearUp program provided College App Week water bottles. In the library, students filled out online applications to two colleges, then signed pennants for those colleges. Freshmen earned water bottles in a game of college questions. Teachers all had nameplates on their doors with the logo of the college they attended, and discussed their degrees with their students. A map in the library showed the location of each teacher’s college. Librarian Sherrie Collins says, “Almost all of our

concern. The Vols need to rise up and shock somebody, anybody, to have a chance to go bowling. A postseason opportunity is supposedly critical to the development of youthful talent. A bowl game would be living proof of progress. It would, in theory, fuel more and better recruiting. It would also reward coaches with bonuses. A crisp Tennessee performance would be of dual value in Oxford. It would help the home crowd behave as ladies and gentlemen.

Less is more, a good writer will tell you. Economy of words is highly valued by editors. God tried words. Being human, however, and curious about how the world works, we – all of us, not just Adam and Eve – have ignored God’s words of caution. The Ten Commandments were a framework, a short list of rules that would keep the human race inbounds and safe. Our track record on those boundaries is not impressive either. Then God sent the Word. Presumably, God reasoned that telling didn’t work; showing might be more efficacious. There is evidence that the Word made a difference, by what he said, but mostly by what he did. In addition to speaking the Word of God for the people, Jesus lived the Word, was the Word of God.

Beginning this week, the Shopper has a new format, which means that I have less space in which to blather on. So I will try mightily to say what I need to say with fewer words. I am reminded that the Gettysburg Address, arguably the most eloquent speech ever given by a mere human (as opposed to the Word of God!), contained only 272 words. If Lincoln could stitch up the torn body of the Union with that brief speech, surely I can do some good with the 300 words allotted to me. Stay tuned.

You don’t have to be young and limber to benefit from chiropractic treatment. Seniors can derive tremendous benefit from chiropractic care. And while many people may think of the spine as the primary target for chiropractic treatment, the fact is that a chiropractor certainly can increase the flexibility of the spine, but can also help increase range of motion in other joints, like the shoulders. The ability to move the shoulders freely without pain can allow for little pleasures, like being able to bend and pick up a dropped fork – or maybe even to pick up a grandchild. The greater flexibility that will come from chiropractic treatment can improve balance and steadiness on one’s feet. remember, falls are responsible for about 90 percent of bone fractures

among people over 65. A fall can result in a long stay in a hospital or nursing home. Another issue that comes with age is deterioration of one or more joints as the result of a misalignment. A chiropractor can correct a misalignment. Another major benefit of chiropractic is pain relief. Aches and pains don’t have to be tolerated as one of the prices of aging. Some of those aches and pains could be caused by a misalignment of one or more vertebrae in the spine. That’s something a chiropractor can address. You’re going to feel better after a visit to the chiropractor. Brought to you as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, TN; 992-7000.

Side by Side: Ken Sparks and Bear Bryant By Marvin West One more victory will lift Ken Sparks above Paul “Bear” Bryant on the alltime list of college football coaching success. Being 70, the CarsonNewman coach probably won’t catch Bobby Bowden or Eddie Robinson, but he has already passed some very famous names, including Pop Warner, Amos Alonzo Stagg and Joe Paterno. Today, right now, Sparks is No. 1 in America among active coaches. He and the Eagles have 323 wins for their 35 years in Jefferson City. Check that average – almost 10 per season. Amazing! You’d never guess he was once fired as a C-N assistant. There are other significant elements to Sparks’ career. He is in an ongoing war with cancer. He still teaches Christianity in a time when the federal government frowns on prayer. His teams have won five national championships and

four times finished second in NAIA and NCAA division II competition. Of the many distinguished Carson-Newman graduates, he is the only one to have served as president of the American Football Coaches Association and to have received the Robert R. Neyland Trophy for coaching excellence. Not incidentally, his name is already on a very large campus building, the Ken Sparks Athletic Complex. Sparks was born in Knoxville. He says he was not an automatic Christian. He helped in the family business, a pub. At age eight, he was cleanup man in bathrooms where drunks had thrown up. He does not talk of a warm and fuzzy youth, but he did grow into a blocking back at Young High in the John Clabo era. He enrolled at UT, lost his freshman season to mono but got his first coaching job, Seymour Optimist midgets, Neyland’s single wing.

Realtor & Public OPEN HOUSE

He transferred to Carson-Newman and became a starting wide receiver. He was injured as a senior but was asked to help the coaching staff. He became a Ken Sparks scout. He was coaching at Gibbs High before he received his diploma. That was 1968. He became coach of quarterbacks and receivers at Tennessee Tech. Morristown East offered a better job. After five years as an assistant at Carson-Newman, he was unceremoniously dismissed the year after his mentor, Dal Shealy, departed for Baylor. Sparks landed safely at

Farragut High. He went 29-5 in three seasons. Bill Bates was among his many exciting Admirals. (I knew and respected Ken Sparks way back Bear Bryant then. I once accompanied his Farragut team to Petro’s for a learning experience and missionary softball game against Brushy Mountain prisoners. I was the umpire. There were no arguments. Two inmates did ask if I would put their names in the newspaper.) Sparks returned to Carson-Newman as head coach in 1980. He has had one losing season, 2011. He re-

bounded with nine and 10 wins. Sparks is better known nationally than locally. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes named him national coach of the year. He is a member of six halls of fame. He has several lifetime achievement awards. Last year, former NFL coach Tony Dungy presented his “Uncommon Award” to Sparks. This coach has always shared success with others, those who gave him opportunities, assistant coaches and the hundreds of players who made all those winning plays. He likes to see CarsonNewman ahead on the scoreboard but says the really big scoreboard is the one that matters. “I believe the Lord will

ask me one day what I did with the kids under my care, not how many wins I had.” Sparks probably could have gone big-time. He once had two job offers in the same day. He elected to stay in Jefferson City – on oneyear contracts. He obviously enjoyed his work. He once said fame and fortune and power and pleasure were not lost on him but he believed there was a greater cause. He never said God sent him a message on a stone tablet or wrote anything in the clouds but “the best I can figure, He wanted me here.”
