Paulette school: ‘Awesome’

By Cindy Taylor

Paulette Elementary School booms with bright colors and is led by a faculty that’s not afraid of “new school” thinking and technology. “Our teachers are happy and cheerful. They have something to prove, and they do an awesome job every day,” said principal Dr. Jason Bailey.

The 2012 Walk for Beth held Oct. 13 at Wilson Park drew one of the largest crowds in its five year history. More than $10,000 was raised with the auction alone bringing in $2,800. “I am overwhelmed,” said Janet Holloway, founder of the walk and mother of its namesake. “I have to give credit to my niece Tiffany Atkins. She worked for the past six months raising

awareness and bringing in auction donations. She has such a big heart.” Even though Beth Holloway put up a heroic fight, she passed away in 2008 following her struggle with cystic fibrosis. Reliving the memories of Beth’s struggle is difficult for Janet but she realizes the importance of what she is doing. “Beth lived her life to the fullest but was always very private

in talking about how the disease was affecting her,” said Holloway. “If talking about it now can help someone else I can be OK with that.” Beth’s dog, Sally, is wellknown and has made the walk each year with Janet. “We are here today to bring hope for the future to those suffering with cystic fibrosis,” said Heather Perry, senior development director at the Cystic Fi-

brosis Foundation. “We have a drug in the pipeline that will work for 86 percent of our population. If this drug works like we think it will, CF really will stand for Cure Families and bring hope for the future.” The Great Strides walks are the largest fundraisers for the foundation. More than 600 walks are held annually across the nation, raising nearly $40 million each year.

TDOT stops in Union County By Jake Mabe Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer stopped in Union County last week as part of his TDOT Projects bus tour, in which he, his staff and elected officials viewed current projects as well as those listed in TDOT’s Three Year Program. Last Tuesday (Oct. 16), the tour stopped briefly at Union County High School. TDOT project manager Mike Russell said that a contract could be let as early as “the end of February or early March” on plans to widen Highway 33 (Maynardville Highway) from Temple Acres subdivision in Halls to the Knox/Union county line. Russell said the project includes the construction of four lanes with a left-turn lane and 12

-foot shoulders. Estimated cost is $26 million. “Soon after that,” Russell said, “when funding is available,” TDOT would complete the widening of Hwy. 33 – four lanes, a left-turn lane, 12-foot shoulders) from the Union County line to Route 144 (Hickory Star Road). Estimated cost of that project is $34 million.

liked the saying, “If you ate today, thank a farmer.” But, it should be extended to if you live in a house built with wood or are wearing cotton/wool clothing, the list could go on and on.

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? Any one of my great-great-grandparents. I’d like to hear their stories and learn how they settled in East Tennessee.

Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why? My older sister, Paula. She is nine years older. I adored her as a child and copied everything she did. Now she is my best friend.

Shannon Perrin

Union County extension agent Shannon Perrin grew up on a small farm in Blaine with a little bit of everything: Tennessee Walking Horses, cows, goats, a few rabbits and a close-knit family. “We lived one house over from my grandparents so my family was always very close,” said Perrin. “I live in Knoxville now but we are still very close.” Perrin joined 4H as a 4th grader and never left. “4H provided me with my first experiences with UT during all the judging teams, conferences and camps I attended.” Perrin holds a degree in animal sciences from the UT College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. While at UT, Perrin became a bigger Vol football fan than she ever expected. “My favorite Saturdays in the fall include crockpot recipes (thank you, Pinterest) and football. Skylar McBee’s success has sparked my interest so I’ve recently started watching UT basketball.” Perrin’s parents still live in Blaine and she visits as often as possible. “My dogs love to visit Grainger County. They are housedogs but embrace the country life with great excitement. They always try to bring a little bit of ‘country scent’ (i.e. cow poop and other fun things) home with them.” Perrin’s sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew live in Nashville. “My niece Cameron is 6 and my nephew Mason is 5. Watching them grow up is so much fun.” Perrin is in her third year as the 4H and Ag extension agent in Union County and loves the variety of her job. “I love working with 4H’ers. 4H gave me a place to fit in as a child. I love the ability to promote UT and agriculture by helping farmers and educating youth here in Union County. I am grateful to the University of Tennessee for my education and my job.” Sit and have a Coffee Break as you get to know Shannon Perrin:

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie? “It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” – Albus Dumbledore from “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.”

What are you guilty of?

I still can’t quite get the hang of… Snow skiing. I love it! But I have to stay on the green slopes.

What is the best present you ever received in a box? Shoes. All shoes. I love shoes. I have far too many shoes. Boots, sandals, flip-flops, dress shoes, whatever, I love shoes!

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you? Set your eyes straight ahead and push forward. Keep moving in a positive direction.

What is your social media of choice? Nathaneal Kadron learns about poultry judging and grading eggs from Union County extension agent Shannon Perrin. Photo submitted

I do love Facebook, but Pinterest is so much more fun! I have tried so many new recipes and now I’m moving on to crafts.

What is the worst job you have ever had? Taking on too much and then not having time to complete responsibilities thoroughly.

What are you reading currently? I love to read. I’m reading three different books right now. Inside my head, it’s total chaos.

I’ve had some very cool jobs. But the worst job, the thing I hate doing most, is weed eating around my house. It’s terrible.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? “Tiny Toons” because they were so cute.

What was your most embarrassing moment?

What irritates you?

Ha, ha. Let’s not relive it!

Mosquitoes. And they love me!

What are the top three things on your bucket list? I’d like to take an extended vacation and travel through Europe someday. I’d like to own a house on the water (lake, river, ocean, it doesn’t matter.) I’m going to Hawaii next year! I’m super excited!

What is one word others often use to describe you and why? I don’t know, I guess “bubbly” because I’m usually in a good, upbeat mood.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I’d give myself an extra couple hours each day to get things accomplished. In that time, I’d exercise more.

What is your passion? Promoting agriculture and education. That’s why I love my job and it is perfect for me. People need to know their food and fiber was grown by a farmer. I’ve always

What’s one place in Union County everyone should visit? That’s a tough question. There are a lot of beautiful and interesting places in Union County.

What is your greatest fear? Snakes. People bring in insects and plants into our extension office for identification. I’m good with all bugs, spiders, weeds and leaves. I hope no one ever brings a snake in for me to identify!

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? I would really love a boat, so I’d buy a boat. Being on the water is my kind of fun! I’d spend my time throwing friends off tubes and sunbathing. Doesn’t that sound like a blast? – C. Taylor It can be your neighbor, club leader, bridge partner, boss, father, teacher – anyone you think would be interesting to Union County Shopper-News readers.

Going for Goforth (again) The Union County Board of Education has posted a provocative agenda item for a special meeting on Thursday, Nov. 8.

Sandra Clark

“Discussion and possible action with respect to the renewal or non-renewal of (Wayne) Goforth’s contract which, by its terms, expires on June 30, 2013.� Just guessing here, but the school board probably will vote to non-renew Goforth’s contract, leaving him as a lame duck with the potential to wreck this school year. Of course, that assumes motivation, ideas and education flow from the top down. Meanwhile, on Thursday, Oct. 8, the school board met. Agenda items included a claim for legal fees from Herbert Moncier, attorney for Wayne Goforth, and a contract with Earth Right Energy to locate solar collectors on school roofs. Goforth proposed to nominate Paulette Elementary School for a state architectural award. This edition of Shopper-News was printed Wednesday evening, prior to Thursday’s meeting.

‘New school’ all day at Paulette By Sandra Clark

Paulette Elementary School booms with bright colors and is led by a faculty that’s not afraid of “new school� thinking and technology. “Our teachers are happy and cheerful. They have something to prove, and they do an awesome job every day,� said principal Dr. Jason Bailey. It’s interesting how this faculty came to be. Bailey explains: “Maynardville Elementary School had 800 students with six teachers and classes for each grade level. We wanted to split that down the middle, so we opened up transfer opportunities. “We were afraid nobody would want to come (to Paulette) or everybody would. In fact, the faculty split evenly and we were able to honor just about every request,� although some teachers changed grade levels in the transition. Now both schools have about 400 students with three teachers and classes for each grade level. “Education has changed and it changes every day. We must keep up with the interests of kids. We look at what kids need and then make the program fit the child,� said Bailey. Part of the “new school� thinking is a unique schedule at Paulette Elementary. Each student has three 90-minute blocks each day – one for reading, another for math and a third for language arts and social studies. Also, there’s a 50-minute block of extension time and a 45-minute period for related arts.

Abundant Health & Wellness Jennifer Savage & Emily Harless Family Nurse Practitioners

“We’ve beefed up the math curriculum,� said Bailey. The extension time enables teachers to work directly with children who are falling behind. It also makes time for enrichment for those who have mastered their assignments. “We never pull a child out of a core class,� for remediation. Bailey said TCAP gains were “huge� for Paulette students and he attributes that in part to the schedule. Also, Paulette has pulled science out of the teachers’ classroom and rolled it into a class called STEM (for science, technology, engineering and mathematics). STEM is taught by Martha Brown in a classroom set up like a laboratory. The room opens to the outside where students from the Union County High School horticulture class have helped with a garden and compost pile. “I think we’re growing beans out there now,� said Bailey. “Kids learn science by touching. Science is about experimenting; it’s handson,� said Bailey. Regular teachers get a 45-minute planning period while students are in related arts, rotating one day out of three among STEM, music and physical education. The building, designed by Knoxville architect Michael Brady, incorporates new thinking. First is security. At 8:05 a.m., the doors are locked. No one can enter the school except by coming through the office. The gymnasium boasts a floor of Canadian maple.

Meet the principal Jason Bailey

Science teacher Martha Brown discusses DNA and family characteristics with kindergarten students.

Jason Bailey is a Union County native who says he “always knew I wanted to be a teacher.� In high school, he was active in the band, so he started college as a music major. He then switched to elementary education. He taught math and science at Luttrell Elementary School for five years, the last two as leader of an experimental “paperless� classroom. He then became STEM curriculum coordinator for elementary and middle schools for two years prior to getting the top job at Paulette last year. His wife is April Bailey, internal auditor for Commercial Bank, based in Harrogate. They have a son, Jaxon, 3.

Dooley is no Spurrier TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

U

nder the general heading of how long should it take to restore a hobbling football program, otherwise logical people keep trying to compare Derek Dooley and Steve Spurrier. I understand that with a twist or two, numbers can be used to prove almost anything, but Tennessee and South Carolina are farther apart than the proverbial apples and oranges. Consider expectations: Before Spurrier, Lou Holtz gave the Gamecocks hope but little else. In all of history, USC had finished in the AP top 25 only five times. Only twice had it gone bowling in consecutive years. Tennessee, measured in total victories, is one of the top 10 programs of all time. In Big Orange Country, good has never been good enough.

Recruiting? South Carolina has geographical advantages. It also has Clemson competing for instate talent. The first reaction to this current UT dilemma is to blame Dooley for dragging his feet. Spurrier wrested the Gamecocks away from the taxidermist and immediately transformed them into wonderful winners. Well, not exactly. Holtz had a couple of good foundation years and leveled off. Spurrier went 7-5, 8-5, 6-6, 7-6 and 7-6 before this upswing. Tennessee defeated South Carolina as recently as 2009. Over five seasons, Spurrier was 18-22 against the SEC. To Spurrier’s credit, he has not fathered anything as ugly as Dooley 2011 but Stevie-wonder never had to face a Kentucky wide

receiver playing quarterback in the season finale – fueled with the motivation of ending a quartercentury of frustration. The Spurrier challenge (after cashing his final NFL check) was simple compared to the Dooley project. South Carolina was delighted to have a famous coach, even one inclined toward golf and boogie-boarding. Spurrier came with football credibility, Heisman Trophy as a player, national championship and a bunch of other medals and ribbons as a coach. What a show when he threw his visor and went scowling and stomping along the sideline. It was much better than orange pants. From the start, Derek Dooley was a question mark. The emergency replacement for the migratory Lane Kiffin didn’t have much on his resumé. He schooled under the great Nick Saban but he did not win at Louisiana Tech. He did have a famous name and a law degree. That he was available on short notice was of greater significance. Tennessee fans wondered aloud why athletic director Mike Hamilton couldn’t do better – maybe somebody like Jon Gruden or

The angels sigh CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton

It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things that have now been announced to you through those who brought you good news by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look! (I Peter 1:12 NRSV) Day breaks and the boy wakes up And the dog barks and the birds sing And the sap rises and the angels sigh. (“Copperline,” James Taylor)

n a recent Friday I drove over the mountains into North Carolina to visit my daughter Eden. It was a beautiful October day, blue skies, crisp air, an occasional tree beginning to show color. I drove back home on Sunday afternoon and noticed still more vibrant color. The hills were wearing plaid by then: gold and russet and green woven together like some autumnal tartan. The slanting sun threw shadows across the ridges and my heart ached just a little. I love fall, even with its twinge of sadness. My mind tells me it is just one arc of an enormous circle, but my soul knows it is the beginning of an end. The year is dying. Even the foods of autumn are different. The fall vegetables are sturdier, plainer: parsnips, carrots, yams. A mug of Earl Grey tea hits the spot on an October afternoon and a slab of rye bread,

Fans were slow to realize roster shortages. Only a few got really excited about minimum progress. Massive turnover of assistant coaches, good or bad, was confusing. Recruiting appeared encouraging until compared with the big boys in the SEC.

Now we know catching up, at the rate we are going, is a slow process. Comparing Dooley and Spurrier is unfair. Tasks and conditions are not equal. They climb different mountains. South Carolina patience has been rewarded. There is no way to tell if time is all Dooley needs.

spread thick with butter, is the perfect accompaniment. I haul out the cookbooks, looking for stew recipes and casseroles and something fabulous to do with apples. Sweaters and thick socks and knitted scarves come out of the closets and I try to find just the right setting on the thermostat to keep me comfortable and my checkbook in the black. It is a time for reading. As the days grow shorter, I keep at least one book going, sometimes two: a novel and a “how-to.” It is a time for writing. I buy elegant stationery, writing long, chatty, newsy letters to my friends far away; at least they are written in my head. Actually getting them onto the stationery is more problematic. I study the woodpile and calculate when I should build the first fire, knowing even as I stand looking at the logs that I will wait until

one of my girls is home to enjoy the fire with me. And I remember. I remember deaths: my father, a beloved uncle, a marriage. I remember harvest moons, apples baked on sticks over a fire and hiking in the Delaware Water Gap. I remember camping trips and football games and Halloween parties. And one last, precious October memory. I remember the night during a revival in a small country church, when I gave my life to the Lord. On the way home that night – just Daddy and me – I saw a smudge of light in the sky and asked him what it was. “It looks like a comet, honey,” he answered. And it was, the first one I had ever seen. A sign, a blessing, a “You go, girl!” And I’m pretty sure the angels sighed.

Some people will breed a female dog to death to make money. We consider that to be animal cruelty and irresponsibly adding to an already out-of-control homeless animal population. So the next time you’re at a flea market and see an adorable little puppy you think you just have to have, think about this. Pet ownership is not owning a cute little toy you can discard when you’re tired of it, it’s a commitment. Adopt from your local humane society and you’ll get a healthy animal with all its inoculations, spayed or neutered and a microchip for identification. You’ll also be supporting an organization that’s providing an important health and safety service for your community.

Looming in the future Deep iin the D h wilds ild off the h West Virginia woods and a whole lifestyle away lies the Canaan (pronounced Kanain) Valley. If you travel far enough into the valley you can find a gold mine. Not in the literal sense; but to those who stumble across Ben’s Old Loom Barn there is a true sense of discovery.

DOWN-home UPdate Unfamiliar words are tossed about by those who work there, such as weft, warp, raddle and shuttle. These are terms used in the art of weaving. Phyllis Helmick and April Welsh are two of the talented folks who work the business located in Davis, W.Va. They are busy setting up one of April’s designs on a loom that sits next to one dating back to the Civil War.

“We use a lot of cotton and wool,” says Helmick. “Alpaca is a favorite but very few people want to pay the price for it.” Dorothy Mayor ThompPhyllis Helmick and son, the founder of the busiApril Welsh work on ness and wife to the barn’s one of April’s designs. Photos by C. Taylor namesake, began teaching weaving in a one-room schoolhouse. The school’s original alphabet now hangs in the barn. The old Civil War loom, built by Dorothy’s father, holds a place of honor there, hence the name Ben’s Old Loom Barn. Thompson grew up during the Great Depression and was a student in weaving with master weaver Lou Tate at the Loom House in Kentucky. During World War II, Thompson went to work with her mother, Rose Mayor, teaching in the Weaving Room at the Arthurdale Center. She met and married Ben Thompson. The two came to the farm in Canaan where Thompson taught weaving until her death in 2008 at the age of 88. In the early 1980s, she began operating Ben’s Old Loom Barn, now run by The original loom from the 1800s built by Dorothy Thompson’s father, Alex Mayor, is still in use.

daughter Sarah Fletcher. Hand-woven items made by those who work at the barn are for sale and include shawls, table runners and gloves. The high cost of raw materials today makes it difficult to keep the price down. “The cost of yarn can equal $20 a pound just for the cheap materials,” said Welsh, who observed the original looms had punch cards and could be considered one of the first computers. The Canaan Weavers Guild meets each month at the barn to carry on the centuries-old tradition of weaving. – C. Taylor

Union County High School Athlete of the Week

Union County High competes in meet

Chenoa Gallagher By Cindy Taylor Chenoa Gallagher is only in her sophomore year at Union County High School. Having already set school Gallagher records in track last year, she has now become an asset as center midfielder for the Patriots soccer team. “Chenoa is a spark plug for us,” said coach Drew Richardson. “With excellent speed and great soccer instincts, she

always seems to be in the right spot at the right time. What makes Chenoa a special kid though is her passion for the game and her dedication to get better.” The team beat Claiborne County two weeks ago to start district play last week. With five seniors on the team the Patriots have been a tough team to beat. “I’m a little nervous,” said Gallagher. “If we lose today we’re out of district play.” Gallagher came to the game in her sister Jessica’s footsteps and a love of soccer was born. She plans to attend UT and participate in track and soccer.

The prospect of raking leaves on a crisp autumn afternoon is a pleasing one. But raking can be a vigorous pursuit and one that can be potentially harmful. Here are some tips chiropractors offer to make sure your afternoon on the lawn provides you plenty of exercise without injury. As with any strenuous physical activity, you should loosen up a bit first with some walking, or jogging in place and mild stretching. While raking, stand up straight. Don’t strain to reach forward. Try to use what some call the “scissors” position. This means you start with either your left or right foot forward and the other back, and then switch after five minutes or so. Switching back and forth will minimize the likelihood of repetitive motion injury. Likewise, switch up on the positions of your hands on the rake. When you pick up your piles, bend at the knees, not at the waist. Let your leg muscles do the balancing and lifting. Keep your back straight. Once again, as with any physical activity, don’t overdo it. Take a rest when you’re tired. Whatever the cleanup job, whether it’s leaves, brush or the inside of a cluttered garage, don’t feel you have to do it all in one day. Get some advice from your chiropractor on how to exercise and work safely. Brought to you as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, TN; 992-7000.
