‘Shop Local’ The Union County Chamber of Commerce has launched its annual “Shop Local” promotion. Buying groceries, goods and services locally promotes a stronger Union County. It keeps sales tax revenue at home for local schools, roads and law enforcement. Think about it. And then spend your money with your neighbors. That Internet vendor has never bought a youth sports T-shirt or contributed to the Rescue Squad. – S. Clark

Outdoor classroom surrounds future wetland By Libby Morgan Martha Brown, STEM teacher at Paulette Elementary, has a master plan for stimulating young minds: get kids outside to explore their natural world. Whether it’s a vegetable plant, an anthill, a tree or a rock – even a big drainage basin beside the school is a teaching tool. “Eventually this (as she sweeps her hand across the view of the grassy, flat-bottomed hole) will be turned into a wetland, with cattails and water lilies,” she says. This past spring, Brown harvested a few square feet of vegetables and herbs , and now the whole side of the schoolyard holds big raised beds bursting with fresh food. Ten-foot-tall sunflowers in a carpet of carrots serve as lessons in plant growth. Compost nurtures the soil for the garden beds. Every student at Paulette knows how to separate their leftover food, and every school day compostable matter is dumped onto the pile. The program got an unexpected boost recently due to a casual conversation. School principal Jason Bailey says, “Martha was buying some stuff at Lowe’s one day, and a cashier asked her if she had applied for the Lowe’s Heroes grant. They asked her what she wanted, she drew it out for them, and they approved it.” Last week, about eight Lowe’s employees descended upon the grounds of the school and worked all day digging through the hard ground to plant fruit and nut trees and installing eight big benches they’d built. The trees planted by the Lowe’s volunteers include yellow and red apple, plum, cherry, peach and two pecan trees. Brown says, “The yellow and purple fruits keep with our school’s colors. When the pecans

District Attorney Jared Effler of Maynardville received Lincoln Memorial University’s Dr. Charles Holland Alumnus of the Year award. LMU President B. James Dawson recognized Effler during LMU’s annual Homecoming Alumni Banquet in October. The award is given each year to the individual who best personifies the qualities and character of Abraham Lincoln.

The award goes to a person who has achieved recognition in his or her professional life and who is an ambassador of goodwill and active in alumni activities. Effler graduated from LMU in 1995 and was recently elected the District Attorney General for Tennessee’s Eighth Judicial District, which includes Campbell, Claiborne, Fentress, Scott and Union counties. A proud product of the Union
County Public Schools, he worked his way through college at LMU by building boxes at Cooper Container Corporation.

Rick Riddle and county commissioner Stan Dail are neighbors who work together on their farming operations.
Winemaker Nikki Riddle and state USDA director Bobby Goode in front of fermenting tanks at Seven Springs Winery and Vineyards.
Seven Springs receives $97K in USDA grants “We’ve never awarded three Value-Added Producer Grants in one year in East Tennessee, and the Riddle family’s enterprises have gotten two of them, each for $48,500,” says Chuck Morris, area specialist in rural development at the Knoxville USDA office. Donna Riddle’s Seven Springs Farm to Table vegetable, fruit and beef operation will use the funds from one grant for a commercial kitchen in their roadside retail building that is rapidly nearing completion. “We’ll be making jellies and jams, canning and freezing to expand our work to more year-round. This will enable us to use our surplus produce and to have more to offer our customers,” says Donna. The building, being built
Libby Morgan
by Donna’s husband Rick Riddle and son James, has exposed mortis-and-tenon rough-sawn beams in the front room, harvested from the woods on the farm. They’ve just installed a gorgeous set of huge wormy sassafras doors at the entrance. Seven Springs Winery and Vineyards is the other grant-winning Riddle business. Daughter Nikki Riddle is moving to the farm to begin making wine next month. Nikki has a bachelor’s
degree in biomedical engineering from Vanderbilt and has just finished her associate degree in enology, or winemaking, through Missouri State’s Viticulture and Enology Science and Technology Alliance program. She’s been at Beech Haven Winery in Clarksville, Tenn., for four years, where she works with her fiancé, Michael Coombs, the head winemaker there. The two will collaborate at Seven Springs. Nikki says, “We have four acres of grapes here, and I’ll be sourcing grapes locally and buying some other varieties from California that don’t grow well in this climate. “Our wine production area in the back of the building has five 550-gallon tanks and a laboratory. The
front room will have a tasting bar and retail sales, and outside there will be a patio. “Visiting us will be an experience, with tours, wine, food and fresh air.” Rick Riddle says, “I would challenge anyone to find two better winemakers in Tennessee. Beech Haven has won more Double Golds and Best of Show awards for their wine since Michael came there 10 years ago than in that winery’s previous 20 years.” Value Added Producer Grants (VAPG) are available to help agricultural producers create new products, expand marketing opportunities, support further processing of existing products or goods, or to develop specialty and niche products.
Scholarships offered to specialty crop farmers The Tennessee Department of Agriculture as part of its Direct Farm Marketing Initiative is offering scholarships to the North American Farm Direct Marketing Association Convention, to be held Feb. 1-6 in Nashville and Knoxville.

Seventh graders at Maynardville Elementary ruled as members of the highest grade-level in the building. That changed when we entered Horace Maynard High School as eighth graders in August 1978. There was no such thing as eighth grade orientation back then. Clues to what high school would be like came from older friends or siblings, and this information was not always reliable, as it was common to scare incoming eighth graders. On my first half-day as a student at HMHS, I rode the bus as normal. I arrived and spied some friends wandering around. I asked them what we were supposed to do now, and the reply was that everybody was to go to the auditorium when the bell rang. At least I knew where that was, for our school had visited the high school auditorium on previous occasions, most notably to see a Christian movie about Johnny Cash and a talent show in 1973-74. The first amazing difference in high school as compared to elementary was the smoking area on the sidewalk in front of the main entrance next to the principal’s office. This area (outlined in red paint) was the first sight I saw at HMHS, and all student smoking was to be done there. The next amazing thing occurred when the bell rang. One of the smokers gave the “hillbilly salute” (known as the “California howdy” to Jed and Granny) and screamed at the top of his lungs, “Go to Hell, Bell!” (This was my first experience with high school poetry.) Never before had I personally witnessed such extreme public wickedness.

and the noise at the large chimney. Remember that saddle-bag homes had two fireplaces – one in the living area and one in the kitchen. Noises did not occur every night, but often, and people would follow the howling as the noise moved around the house. Particularly in the cooler season around Halloween, they built campfires and stayed all night. ■ Another haunted house affiliated with the Hubbs family in the Chesney/Warwick’s Chapel section of the county was the Rev. Andrew Phipps’ home. Delila Paralee Hubbs, daughter and seventh child of William Montgomery Hubbs and Aster Merritt Hubbs (b. Feb. 11,1859, d. Apr. 17, 1947) married Dec. 13, 1877, in Union County to the Rev. W. Andrew Phipps (b. May 22, 1856, d. Ap. 22, 1926). This home was near the Arlie “Sim” Hubbs place, and both are buried in Dyer Cemetery. This story was told by Curtis Phipps and his brother Andy to their cousin, Elsie Hubbs, who later told it to her daughter, Georgella Hubbs Baker. The story is that a lady in a white dress would appear from time to time and that on occasion she would play the piano for them. ■ I was a classmate of Roy and Coy Carter. The fol-

lowing story was told to me by Coy Carter in 2005. “The house that you are talking about was my grandparents’ house. It is located on the corner of Hickory Valley Road and Old Hwy. 33. After my grandfather died, my grandmother still lived there, and some of us kids would go spend the nights with her. When she was in her seventies she fell and broke her hip. After she fell, our family would keep her part of the time and my aunt would keep her part of the time. “We had a large family and our house was small, so my father had electricity put in my grandmother’s house so we could move in with her and have more room. We lived there for a few years. All of the above is to let you know whose house was supposed to be haunted, or as we always said, hainted. “There have been several people that have said that they heard things inside the house and claimed that it was haints. I had a brother and sister-in-law that lived there while my grandfather and grandmother lived there. “My sister-in-law claimed that she heard things many times. I remember once she said she heard something that sounded like something was rolling down the steps, but she claimed to hear other things while they lived there. Some people claimed they heard someone walking on the inside.
Others claimed they heard someone talking on the inside. “Once as I was going by the house, I heard what sounded like someone walking on the inside of the house. It could very well have been because the house was never locked at that time. There used to be travelers come by carrying their belongings and they would spend the night anywhere they could, in the barn, out in the field or under a tree somewhere. When we lived there I never did hear anything that I thought was a haint. “It was spooky when I was young just to go by the place, but it was more spooky when I had to go inside. I did keep my eyes and ears open. After you went inside into the hallway the living room was on the left. When you would open the door going into the living room the suction would cause the door from the living room going into the dining room to open. That was a little spooky. “I don’t remember ever hearing anyone say that they saw anything. Roy, Peggy, Iva and I bought the farm, which included the house, after my grandmother died.” However, the home is no longer in the Carter family, but I believe it is still standing. People always say, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak,” but the spirits have not been weak in Union County!
He liked Tim Burchett back when Tim was a skinny kid who tried to save the world by recycling waste vegetation for mulch. Burchett landed a contract with the city (he had no competition because no one else saw merit in this endeavor). All city brush was dumped at Tim’s location. He worked from dawn to midnight. A major blizzard that year overwhelmed everyone. Brush started piling up and Tim couldn’t process or sell it fast enough. A city inspector started sniffing around Burchett’s mulch yard with an eye toward shutting him down. Someone spotted Noe and suggested he was dumping raw sewage on the mulch. But reporter Betty Bean determined that Noe was pumping out standing water and disposing of it at the sewage treatment plant,
which KUB confirmed. “Hugh was a standup guy,” says Bean. Mr. Noe was a U.S. Army veteran of World War II who served in Japan. He farmed in Grainger County and ran Noe’s Suburban Septic Service for 50 years. Other survivors are daughter-in-law Judy Noe; grandchildren, Dr. Katie A. Noe and Drs. Ronald Andrew (Leah) Noe. Son Ronnie summed it up: “Dad always worked two jobs, but somehow he always showed up for my ballgames.” Hugh Noe didn’t write a book on parenting (or read one), but he got the big stuff right: time, education, diligence. And there was that Republican thing. Hugh would bring lunch to workers on Election Day – to the Republican workers. The Democrats were on their own.

Tennessee basketball fans didn’t really like what Cuonzo Martin offered for sale. The team wasn’t exactly dull but it didn’t sparkle. And it was confusing. Some losses should have been victories and the finish was inexplicable. Alas, the Sweet 16 did not alter overall perception. There were no protests, no mattress burnings or even a proper period of mourning when the coach went west. It appears we now have guarded optimism that Donnie Tyndall can do better, not this season, but better sometime, and faster and more exciting in the meantime. His TV shows are almost certain to gain in the ratings. Coach Tyndall will be fighting Southeastern Conference wars with a short

stick, the wrong-sized post players. There is no doubledouble Jarnell Stokes. Jerrone Maymon, even when gimpy, was big. What we have in their absence is a void. Dominic Woodson, 6-10 and 270 before lunch, is big enough to fill part of it if he can keep up. This idea is uncertain at best. Also available are two thin men, 6-8 Willie Carmichael and 6-10 Tariq Owens. You can’t see through them but neither is suited for what happens down low.
It is alarming that Armani Moore, 6-5, is considered the best post defender. This team has no proven go-to shooter. Josh Richardson will try to replace Jordan McRae. This team has no proven point guard. Kevin Punter, a good 2 guard, is learning on the job. Richardson is in reserve. Great summary quote from the coach: “We’re certainly going to be the least experienced team in the SEC, maybe the MOST least experienced team in college basketball.” What this team does have is a whole crowd of ambitious newcomers, the result of a spectacular (or frantic) late recruiting rush. One rival winked and said Tyndall has already set a world record with that roundup.
FCA honors Bob Johnson By Marvin West Retired insurance executive Bob Johnson, a founding father of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in K nox v i l le , has again been honored for his generations of influence with young people. Bob Johnson Johnson, 84, received the recognition and a plaque Tuesday night at the FCA fund-raising dinner at the Marriott. Frank Emanuel, former Tennessee all-American linebacker, assistant coach and College Hall of Fame honoree, sent a video tribute, saying congratulations and how much Bob Johnson has meant in his life. “We met when I was at a
crossroads. Thanks to you and FCA for pointing me in the right direction.” Johnson, long a pillar in the Halls community, now living in Crossville, insists on sharing the FCA credit. He says former UT coach Jim McDonald, Pat McGlothlin, Bob Temple, Frank (Red) Bailes, Joe McKenry, Buddy Warren, Rip Kirby, Dave Burns, Tommy Hensley and Bob Hines were in at the beginning or very early. This was 53 years ago. Johnson recalls that the original idea of a fellowship of Christian athletes came from a young basketball coach, Don McClanen. He wrote letters, seeking guidance and support, to sports names who had expressed their religious faith in newspaper and magazine stories. Letters went to football players Doak Walker and
Otto Graham, baseball players Carl Erskine, Robin Roberts and Alvin Dark, Olympians Bob Mathias and Bob Richards, football legends Amos Alonzo Stagg, Bud Wilkinson and Clarence “Biggie” Munn and even sportscasters Tom Harmon and Red Barber. After considerable effort, McClanen secured “a fiveminute appointment” with baseball general manager Branch Rickey. That conversation lasted five hours. Rickey pointed the young coach to the necessary funding to get started. FCA was chartered in Oklahoma City on Nov. 10, 1954. Knoxville started catching up in 1961 after Johnson and Hines had a long talk with Bill Wade, then quarterback of the Chicago Bears. “Bill Wade and Bob Hines had been football
If this bunch can win, he is coach of the year. ESPN is not optimistic. It has assigned the Vols too many 9 p.m. games. The Sporting News has picked Tennessee for 14th place in the SEC. There are only 14 places. A panel of regional and national experts was much kinder. It said 13th. New coach and new Vols are not depressed. This is the big time. Facilities are fantastic. The spotlight is bright. Success at this level means something. Motivation overflows. Big Orange Country is a long, long jump from where Tyndall started, Iowa Central Community College, Fort Dodge which used to be Fort Clarke, no pay for helping coach but a night security job from 11:30 until 4:30 and a free room in the athletes’ dorm. This guy never had one silver spoon. He came up the hard way, step by step
as an assistant, a winner in difficult head jobs at Morehead and Southern Miss. At 44, he hit the Dave Hart jackpot. He has a six-year contract worth $1.6 million per. You wouldn’t believe the incentive clauses. Tyndall knows what he wants to do – attack on defense as does Louisville and be aggressive but smart on offense as is Kansas. Sounds good. Would probably look good with Louisville and Kansas-type players.
teammates at Vanderbilt,” said Johnson. “Wade was already involved with FCA. He gave us a plan for getting started.” The first FCA rally in Knoxville was Dec. 15, 1962. UT president Andy Holt and football coach Bowden Wyatt were among the speakers. Former Rule High coach J.D. Price sang “How Great Thou Art.” From this seedling grew a mighty tree, or, maybe a forest, an amazing number of huddle groups in East Tennessee high schools and colleges, thousands of young athletes dispatched to FCA summer camps to hone leadership skills, hundreds of coaches encouraged to point their players toward positive lifestyles. “Bob Johnson led by example,” said former Shopper columnist Jake Mabe, whose grandparents, Virginia and the late Wayne Wyatt, lived across a shared
garden from Bob and Marilyn in Emory Estates. “His interest in a young person’s spiritual development went way beyond attending a banquet once a year and giving a donation, like so many of us do. He played an instrumental role in seeing FCA grow and
Tennessee talked toughness last year. Friends and foes say Tyndall teaches toughness. Hmmm, we’ll see.

Visions As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of Beryl; and the four had the same form, their construction being something like a wheel within a wheel. (Ezekiel 1: 15-16 NRSV)

appearance of the splendor all around was “like a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day.” This, Ezekiel declares, “was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.” What intrigues me in all this description is that Ezekiel does not claim to have seen the Lord, Himself. He does not claim to have seen the glory of the Lord. He only says he has seen something like the glory of the Lord. Is this humility? Fear? Confusion? No. I choose to think of it as wonder.

As is so often the case, I learned about Ezekiel and his vision of wheels by singing about it. The old spiritual “Ezekiel Saw De Wheel” was part of the standard choral repertoire when I was in high school. It was years later, in a course on the Old Testament, that I really studied Ezekiel’s vision. The living creatures are cherubim, guardians of God’s throne, winged human-headed lions or oxen, symbolizing mobility, intelligence and strength. In Ezekiel’s vision, the cherubim were apparently just heralds of what was to come, namely a glimpse into the heavenly realms. There was a dome, and “something like a throne” (Ezekiel 1: 26) and seated above (not on, please note) the throne was “something that seemed like a human form.” Ezekiel remarks that the

Life can wear us down in lots of different ways. Spirits might sag as we age. And, of course, life wears down the body, too, whether it’s through traumas like accidents, or just through daily wear and tear. Too many people resign themselves to living with pain, thinking it’s just one of those things we have to endure. Living with pain can take an emotional toll. Not only can it be physically debilitating, it can disrupt your personal life and affect your work performance. In extreme cases, these lifestyle impediments can lead to depression. Experts believe depression is three to four times more common among people with chronic pain than in the general population. Chronic pain, however, is not something anyone has to–or should–just live with. One of the most com-
mon locations for chronic pain is the lower back. If that’s the source of your problem, be assured that chiropractic treatment has been proven effective in easing the discomfort. And even if it’s not the lower back, even if the pain is in another part of the body, a visit to a chiropractor for a thorough exam may perform wonders. Chiropractors have a battery of tools at their disposal: hands-on treatment, of course, whether it’s a spinal manipulation or an adjustment of some other joint; advice on diet; stretches and exercise; and lifestyle suggestions. See a chiropractor if pain is having an impact on your lifestyle. Brought to you as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, TN; 992-7000.
