“I am a genius, and the world expects and needs my contribution.” Cheryl Bowman’s English language arts class at Luttrell Elementary School recites this statement every day at the opening of Genius Hour, a portion of the school day in which the students may research subjects of their own choosing. The Genius Hour concept is inspired by search engine giant Google, where employees spend 20 percent of their time on projects that interest them. The policy gave birth to many inventions, including Gmail. Now, educators are putting the idea to use in the classroom, allowing students to do self-guided research for a project they will present at the end of the semester. And at center stage are the new Chromebooks that Union County Schools is looking to roll out systemwide.

Lincoln Memorial honors Saylor By Shannon Carey Luttrell Elementary School principal Sonja Saylor will be the first to tell you that working in education isn’t easy. But it’s rewarding, and that’s why she’s made it her career. Saylor was inducted Oct. 9 into the Lincoln Memorial Educators’ Hall of Fame in honor of her dedication and leadership. This is her 29th year in education, her 13th as principal. And at the beginning of this school year, LES had the honor of being named a Reward School for outstanding student achievement. Saylor attended Sharps Chapel Elementary School, where her 1st grade teacher Betty Pierce first inspired her to become a teacher. Saylor said Pierce met every child on his or her own level. “I think she was ahead of her time,” said Saylor. “I just knew she believed in me. She made me feel like I could do anything. She is a super lady.”
After graduating from Horace Maynard High School, Saylor attended Lincoln Memorial University, where she received several advanced education degrees. She was stationed at LES for her first teaching job. She had so much fun that year that she “could not believe they were paying me to do this,” she said. “Luttrell in particular is so special to me,” she added. “People here are so kind. It’s like home. They’re my second family.” She went on to teach at SCES as well. Then, after 16 years as a classroom teacher, Saylor applied with former Director of Schools
how hard everybody was working,” she said. “But now we’re a Reward School, so we’ve definitely overcome that. It’s nice to see it finally paying off. To finally see it and be recognized by the state is just awesome.” Saylor said her list of people to thank over the course of her career is “a mile long.” She started with the teachers and community in Sharps Chapel, where she grew up. Then, her mother. “She just set the example of if you want something you have to work for it,” she said. She thanked the LES family as well. “The parents here have been very supportive of the school, of the teachers and of me,” Saylor said. Saylor still loves her job, and for now her plans are to stay right where she is.

Charles Thomas to be principal at Luttrell. She got the job. “If someone had told me I would be principal some day, I would not have believed him,” she said. In all her years of education, those first few years as principal presented Saylor’s biggest challenge. Test scores and achievement were low, despite the hard-working faculty, staff and students at LES. Saylor went all out to keep morale high. “It was so disappointing to see

Alex Haley, Knoxville’s adopted son By Betty Bean
One afternoon in 1989, I picked up the phone at my desk at the Knoxville Journal and a very polite voice on the other end of the line said, “This is Alex Haley. Do you have a few minutes to talk?” I’d just written a smart-alecky item about him in the Journal’s gossip column, so I braced for verbal abuse. I mean, this was the auA 13-foot bronze statue of Alex Haley, sculpted by Tina Allen, is the centerpiece of Haley Heritage Square on Dandridge Avenue.

Alex Haley Top under a canopy on the lawn. I’d see him at the Fresh Market shopping for groceries – one of his last published stories (in Parade Magazine) was about a new friend, an immigrant who worked in the produce section there. Alex Haley embraced this low-rise burg. He lived by his famous maxim, “Find the good and praise it,” befriending almost everyone he met. He died of a sudden heart attack in February 1992. His family took him home to Henning, and the N.J. Ford Funeral Home in Memphis presided over his funeral. A few weeks later in Nashville, Sen. John Ford told me that Alex lay in state for two days and they changed his clothes four times. I wondered if they laid him out in

They were painful to read and took on witch hunt proportions. This week (Wednesday, Dec. 2, 6 p.m.) at the East Tennessee History Center, University of Tennessee history professor Robert J. Norrell will talk about his new book, “Alex Haley and the books that changed a nation,” which he believes could begin to rehabilitate Alex’s reputation. I’ll be there, and I’ll buy the book.

Malones in ‘Hawg Heaven’ By Shannon Carey

What better place to start a tale of great pork barbecue than a political rally? Rodney Malone of Union County was working at Alcoa and active in politics when he first decided to fire up a smoker. He went to a lot of rallies and cookouts. “I said gosh, everybody’s getting tired of hot dogs,” he said. He and his sons, Blake and Rodney, borrowed a smoker and bought some Boston butts. They overcooked the meat that day, but over time they got the hang of it. That was 12 years ago. Now, the Hawg Heaven food truck can be seen at festivals all over the region. Malone perfected his technique through experimentation and watching barbecue cook-off shows on television. He learned that “low and slow” is the name of the game for good barbecue, and he developed his own seasonings and rubs. Yes, he brings sauce, but it’s store-bought. The secret is in the rub and a slow cook over all hickory. “You don’t have to have sauce on it for it to be barbecue,” he said. “It’s good without it. You can have cake without icing and it’s still cake.” The Malones started Hawg g Heaven at the Union
community County Heritage Festival at the urging of Malone’s friend J.V. Waller. Malone hadn’t sold his food before, didn’t even know where to start with pricing. That summer, he attended a car show in Kentucky. “I’m a fair goer just to eat the food,” he said. He saw one concession stand with a line 50-deep and got curious. The draw turned out to be ribbon-cut potatoes, deep fried. When he got home, he found machines for making the potatoes, both hand-crank and electric. The electric machine was out of his price range, but he went ahead and invested in the hand-crank model. At the Heritage Festival, Hawg Heaven sold out of barbecue early, but they sold potatoes all day, 135 pounds worth. Malone had worked the crank all that time, and his arm felt like it would fall off. “There’s got to be a better way,” he said. He took the hand-crank machine to his work in Alcoa and fitted it with a cordless drill. From the Heritage Festival, Hawg Heaven started making the rounds of local events, like the Big Ridge Bluegrass Festival. Eventually, a friend asked Malone to set up weekly at HarleyDavidson in Knoxville. He started looking around for a trailer to outfit into a food truck so he could get state p inspected.
Next stop: eBay. Malone found a trailer on the online auction site that already had a window cut. The price was right, so he bid on it without checking to see where it was. After he won the auction, he saw that the location was West Chicago. He and one of his sons made the trip in early February. “That’s the coldest place I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said. “I just wanted to get back to Tennessee. It’s cold enough down here.” Now, the professionally outfitted trailer is licensed to do multi-day festivals. Malone will do just about anything in Union County, he likes to do local events. But he also goes to Rogersville, Cumberland Gap and Middlesboro. Now retired, Malone limits Hawg Heaven’s outings to two per month. But he loves cooking, and he loves meeting new people and trying new things. In addition to barbecue, Hawg Heaven now offers hickory-smoked fried bologna sandwiches, and has even branched into turkey legs and chicken leg quarters for the Red Gate Rodeo. “It’s a lot of work, but I enjoy it,” he said. “Cooking is one of the few things I was ever good at.” His sons and mother, Shirley, like helping with the business, too. “They stick with me on this,” Malone said.

Shoebox drive doubles By Shannon Carey Union County’s contributions to Operation Christmas Child have doubled since last year, according to volunteer Holly Simmons. Union County residents packed 1,152 shoeboxes with necessities for children in developing countries. Milan Baptist Church packed 405 boxes in honor
of the Rev. Michael Viles, who passed away earlier this year. Community Baptist Church packed 412. First Baptist of Maynardville packed 114. Milan Baptist acted as the collection point for Union County, and the boxes rolled to the regional processing center Nov. 23. Some of the countries receiving Union
County’s donations are the Philippines, Mali, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Simmons said Amy Winstead worked very hard toward the effort, and they hope to recruit even more churches to help next year. “We are very excited and very pleased,” said Simmons.

Oak Grove has come a long way
Driving Mr. Green During my years as a student at Horace Maynard High School, there were some teachers that I never actually had for classes but that I got to know through other means. One of these was Mr. Ronnie Green.
Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME Mr. Green was good friends with my freshman science teacher, Mr. Pat Ballard. I believe they were neighbors and perhaps carpooled to work. I had Mr. Ballard’s class the last period of the day, and I often lingered in his classroom as long as possible since my next stop was bus wait, which I usually despised. Mr. Green frequently stopped in to talk to Mr. Ballard before I left. I remember once their talk turned to food, and I somehow became involved in their conversation. I told them about my mother’s soup beans, fried potatoes and cornbread. Mr. Green said, “That sounds like good ol’ South Knoxville cooking!” This led me to invite Mr. Green and Mr. Ballard to supper at my house. I suppose I did this somewhat impetuously, for I had not discussed it with my parents. I knew my mother would not have minded in the least. My father might have been a different story, but I never considered that when I issued my overzealous invitation.
I was saddened when they politely declined. I never had Ron Green for an actual class. I was in his homeroom for one year, so I spent approximately the first 10 minutes of each school day in his classroom. Homeroom was fairly unremarkable, though there was a little excitement once when a student put a penny in Mr. Green’s coffee. He was definitely not amused. Most of Mr. Green’s career at Horace Maynard was spent teaching driver’s education. Many of the students who had Mr. Green for driver’s ed could undoubtedly tell stories about their experiences. I seem to remember hearing once that the driver’s ed car was following a truck loaded with plywood. The plywood fell off the back of the truck and caused excitement (though no injuries, I believe) for the car occupants. On another occasion, I have heard, there was an encounter with a deer, also thankfully without injuries to humans. Mr. Green also served as football coach and physical education teacher during his career. There was one school year when Mr. Green served as acting principal of Horace Maynard High for the last few months. I understand he did a fine job, and some would have liked for him to have been principal in his own right. Mr. Green retired after 34 years’ service to the Union County Public Schools at Horace Maynard High School. He passed away on Jan. 9, 2015. Mr. Green was well respected

Some of us have been intermittently doing volunteer work for four years now to restore this historic Rosenwald design two-room school built in 1935 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The historic school is located at the intersection of Brantley and Davis roads in Sharps Chapel. The first stage of the project was to pull the vines off the building, shovel out the filth and cut away the brush. Windows were broken and birds were nesting all around the inside of the building. A crew boarded up the windows and the building was secured until we could get to dealing with the problem broken glass and damaged windows. The foundation needed to be secured; and in starting that project, we discovered many of the floor joists rotten and termite infested.
Oak Grove School, November 2014
New windows at Oak Grove School
Obviously, securing the foundation and replacing the floor joists became top priority. To accomplish that, the floor was removed. With the help of many volunteers including TVA retirees, the foundation was secured, the floor joists replaced and sub-flooring installed. The windows restoration then became the No. 1 priority. What a chore! All of the windows were removed, scraped with and admired by his former some sanding, painted with students and colleagues.

As phases of the project get completed, priorities move up. The flooring was cleaned and re-installed. The next priority became scraping, priming and painting the interior. Thankfully, this is almost finished. The large tworoom area is painted. Now we can move on to the kitchen and what was two cloak rooms. This past week the large, heavy, folding doors were cleaned. The doors are in good shape,
but do need a few repairs and need to be stained and sealed. We hoped to have that done by the end of November. The electrical is in progress, the plumbing roughed in, and we also hope the exterior can be primed and painted before it gets too cold.

Curt Maggitt: What might have been I’ve never done this before. Mixing John Greenleaf Whittier and Tennessee football is really different. How the Quaker poet knew about the forthcoming Curt Maggitt a hundred years before his time is a wee bit puzzling but this famous line was a perfect fit. “Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, ‘It might have been.’” As today’s rhymes go, that translates in the general direction of shoulda, coulda, woulda. Curt Maggitt, natural leader, fierce hitter, was going to be something like Al Wilson. He was a raging bull of a linebacker with an uncanny knack for sacking quarterbacks. Many he didn’t reach in time but they always knew he was coming. Several he alarmed. Some he intimidated. A few he terrified. Curt never reached full potential. He was often preseason all-SEC – and unfortunate. He spent serious time trying to recover from injuries and repairs. He was a rehabilitation superstar. Unusual background: Lane Kiffin recruited Curt out of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., but he wasn’t coming to Tennessee. A brother was
Marvin West
at Iowa State. Teammates were already at Florida. And Florida State wanted him. And Alabama and LSU. As the story goes, the Gators eliminated themselves. There were too many arrests and an assistant coach, visiting the Maggitt home, propped his feet on the coffee table. In a surprise, Derek Dooley signed Curt Maggitt. He started as a freshman. There was one heck of a play in his first game as a sophomore, a chase and hit on the North Carolina State quarterback took away 18 yards and forced a fumble which became a safety – as in wow! Meanwhile, Curt was bothered by turf toe and a shoulder stinger. He suffered a season-ending knee injury with two games to go. It really hurt Butch Jones that this potentially great player wasn’t ready for 2013. The new coach had to explain the realities of
redshirting. Curt could get well, better and stronger and meanwhile help the team by staying involved. That did not lift Maggitt’s spirits. Butch tried Talk 2. “Only you can control your response to adversity.” In April 2014, Curt Maggitt was the first recipient of the Al Wilson Leadership Award. It recognized the most influential leader from spring practice. Maggitt, always humble, was more humble. “I’m definitely excited with it being the first and it’s Al Wilson for sure,” Maggitt said. “It’s monumental. I’m a decent leader but I know I can get a lot better.” Curt had a good junior season. At 6-4 and 252, he most often lined up at defensive end and was too quick and crusty for several offensive tackles. Maggitt tied for 12th in the nation with 11 sacks. This year, he missed spring practice. UT discovered belatedly that he needed shoulder surgery for a previous injury. His reputation survived. He was on the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the best in the country at what he did. In September, he was ready to rumble. Alas, he
suffered a freakish hip injury in the second quarter of the Oklahoma game. No collision. He was whirling around a would-be blocker. “This young man means everything to us, not just from a character standpoint and a leadership standpoint, but his productivity,” Coach Jones said. Butch talked in terms of weeks to heal but it sounded like a eulogy. “He’s a vocal leader, so regardless of what happens, he’ll be there for us,” sophomore safety Todd Kelly Jr. said. That was the benediction. Oh no, the coach had more. “Curt is an integral part of Tennessee football and will always be an important part. He’s our leader. I know he hurts right now. I know he’s disappointed. I love him to death, but I know he’s very resilient. He’s been resilient ever since he’s been here. He’s a great representative. He has a great, great future.” Butch, being Butch, added “ahead of him.” Alas and double alas, the poet had it right, what might have been – except for a hip chip.

County churches give thanks Members of at least 11 congregations came together at Millers Chapel United Methodist Church in Maynardville Nov. 23, for the fifth annual Union County Community Thanksgiving Service. Fr. Steve Pawelk of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Mission, the Rev. John Teffeteller of Millers Chapel, and the Rev. Paul
What’s in a year? And God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years. … (Genesis 1:14 NRSV) So, if there are 12 months in a year, why is the name of the last month December, a word derived from the prefi x dec, or 10 (think decade or decathlon)? I wonder about such things! So, being my mother’s daughter, I looked it up, and here is what I learned. The ancient Romans insisted that all wars cease during the time between the old and new years. March (named for Mars) was the first month in the Roman calendar. That is how the following months were named as they were: April was from the Latin for “second.” May was named for Maia, the goddess of growing plants (seems reasonable to me!). June was named for Juno, queen of the gods, who was also the patroness of marriage, which is why June is so popular for weddings! We will come back to July and August, because they were later additions.

September, then was the seventh (septem meaning seven), and October was the eighth. (you see how an octopus got its name – eight legs!) November was from the word for ninth, and December from the prefi x dec, meaning 10. All very neat and nice. So where did the other two months come from? In 1582, Pope Gregory (and, no doubt, his astronomers) realized that the calendar was no longer in sync with the seasons. So he fi xed it by adding July (in honor of Julius Caesar) and August (in honor of Caesar Augustus). And that is why, although the names are a little of out sync, our calendar is correct!

Stop by or call today Under new management
Jumping in the car and heading off on a driving vacation is one of life’s great pleasures. It’s a great feeling to get behind the wheel and explore places you’ve never been. If you don’t practice proper posture while you’re in the driver’s seat, however, heavy traffic might not become your only pain in the neck. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you’re driving: • When you enter your car, sit down rear end first, then swing your legs in. Don’t just step in with your right foot and flop onto the seat. You could easily wrench something when dropping your body weight like that. • After getting in, adjust your seat toward an upright position until your lower back presses comfortably against the seat back. Adjust the seat
so that you can reach the wheel and pedals comfortably. • Adjust the seat and steering wheel so that your hands, when at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions, are below shoulder level. Buckling your seat belt, of course, goes without saying. • While you’re driving, maintain an upright posture. Slouching and slumping can easily lead to pain and discomfort after a while. It’s important, too, to stop periodically to stretch and give your body a rest. Stop periodically also to smell the roses during your trip. Talk with your chiropractor about good posture behind the wheel on a long trip. Presented as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, Tenn. 992-7000.
