Luttrell cheers the season Luttrell Elementary takes the Polar Express through town.
By Libby Morgan Luttrell folks put on a sweet small town parade in cold temps, but the rain held off for this event. The lineup was a half-mile long and had some religion, some silliness and some very cool antiques, with smiles and community pride throughout.

Santa resets The Union County Christmas Parade was rescheduled from Sunday, Dec. 8, until Sunday, Dec. 15, because of weather. The parade will step off at 2:30 p.m. from the high school and march north through downtown Maynardville.

Red Cross needs volunteers Have you ever wanted to help your Union County neighbors but cannot make a commitment that takes a lot of time? Well, do we have a solution for you! Shirlee Grabko says the Union County Red Cross needs members. “Whether the disaster is a house fire that affects one family or a flood or tornado that strikes thousands of people, the American Red Cross provides immediate help to those in need. “In Union County, disaster is almost always a house fire. Red Cross volunteers assess the immediate needs of the disaster victims. This may include shelter, food, clothing, shoes, toiletry items and/or referrals to other community organization.” Each Disaster Action Team (DAT) volunteer commits for 1-2 months every year to be on call. During that time there could be several fires or, most commonly, no fires at all. Training is free, straightforward and not difficult. Because of age, illness or moving out of the county, the Red Cross is short of volunteers, said Grabko. Info: Shirlee Grabko at 278-3917, Jimmy Sexton at 216-9373 or Betty Kelly at 7194126.

Inmate health care is outsourced By Sandra Clark After months of discussion, the Union County Commission voted Dec. 9 to terminate the county’s contract with Dr. Carroll E. Rose of Claiborne County effective Jan. 15, 2014, and to contract with Southern Health Partners (SHP) to provide medical services to the county’s inmates. Commissioners asked Mayor Mike Williams to contact physicians to seek proposals to be the county’s medical examiner, a position required by state law. Two commissioners, Doyle Welch and Jeff Brantley, voted against the change after representatives from Quality Medical Center said they were never given a chance to bid on the service. Com-
missioner J.M. Bailey was SHP’s chief advocate, saying, “We went before the Sheriff’s Committee, the Budget and Finance Committee and now the full
J.M. Bailey commission.” County attorney K. David Myers said bids are not required on a personal services contract such as this. Mayor Mike Williams added, “We’re just trying to stop the bleeding (save money).” Finance Director Ann Dyer said spending for inmate medical services is on track to reach $300,000 during this fiscal year. Southern Health Partners prom-
board’s attorney, Mary Ann Stackhouse, said the amendments drafted were necessary to meet expectations of the state comptroller. “We’ve made it as clear as we know how to make it.” Myers recommended a one-year renewal. ■ Commission adopted a resolution prepared by county attorney Myers memorializing the late Dorothy Mae Cook Williams who died Nov. 27 at age 87. Her sons are Ralph and Michael Williams; daughter-in-law Barbara Williams; grandchildren, Darin Williams, Damon Williams, Kristi Lawson, Brandi Williams Davis and Gordon Williams, eight greatgrandchildren, nephew, Lynn Sexton, and niece, Diane Shell.
Union County creates Special Response Team By Sandra Clark Union County Sheriff’s Office has created a Special Response Team (SRT) for emergencies. Criminal Investigator Steve Rouse presented the policy and procedures manual to Union County Commission for review on Dec. 9. The SRT is a team of highly trained personnel proficient in the use of special weapons and tactics, geared to combat small scale actions or cope with highly dangerous or unusual situations. Rouse said the team will “back up each other,” as it responds to emergencies. Specific problems
that SRT might encounter include: barricaded persons, sniper actions, hostage situations, and large scale or high risk arrests. Working under a team commandSteve Rouse er will be a point scout, an observer, a marksman/ counter-sniper, the rear guard, a grenadier and a command post officer. The team commander will be appointed by the sheriff.

Membership is limited to fulltime law enforcement officers who are POST-certified; however, the sheriff may approve a reserve officer for team membership if he/she has special qualifications such as medical training that would be an asset to the team. In response to questions, Rouse outlined a rigorous physical examination for team members, saying each must run a 14-minute mile in uniform including a 30-plus pound weapons belt and carrying either a rifle or shotgun. Members must complete 25 pushups in one minute or less and
must complete 25 sit-ups in one minute or less. Members must be able to swim, willing to perform extreme physical activities (such as mile-plus running and weight lifting), provide medical and psychological qualifications, and score at least 90 percent on a POST pistol and rifle qualifications course. In addition, team members must agree to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each must be able to rappel from a structure or terrain up to 50 feet or greater. Rouse left the commission with everyone’s hearty thanks, but with no volunteers.

Ensley; and, in the looking-only department, framed newspaper front pages telling of Bonnie and Clyde’s demise and the first flag on the moon, among a thousand other interesting antiques.

Cars, cars, cars Six new cruisers are coming soon to a road near you, maybe, but not without some serious haggling by many opinionated people. Throughout a multi-month discussion, Sheriff Earl Loy Jr. has politely deferred to county commissioners, even as Sgt. Mike Butcher patiently navigated the purchase through the process. (There were three meetings with three separate discussions within the last two weeks alone.) Union County Commission appropriates $66,000 or so each year to purchase two fully equipped cruisers for the Sheriff’s Office. Loy
Sandra Clark and Butcher, working with Finance Director Ann Dyer, created a plan to purchase six cruisers now, financing four of them over two years. With a down payment of $66,000 or so, the loan would be paid out in two annual installments of $66,000 or so each. Unless you were there, you can’t appreciate the depth of debate. It was in-

nia is supposed to be a good luck tree. Pauline White particularly recalled that the ornament could not weigh more than 12 ounces. Since their neighboring grocer at the time was Virginia’s Grocery (Virginia Welch) on Loyston Road, Jimmy would carve on the 17-inch angel, then take it down to Virginia’s to weigh it on the cheese scales, take it back home and carve away more of the weight until he got the angel down to 11 ounces to make sure it didn’t exceed the specified maximum weight of 12 ounces. About 3,000 ornaments were submitted, 154 of which were from Tennessee and of the 154 ornaments, 61 were from East Tennessee. Jimmy White has been the only Union Countian to have been so honored. He signed

Sheriff Loy and Officer Jeff Sharp explained that episode, at least to my satisfaction. “When cruisers the angel, “Jimmy White, Union County, Tennessee.� Pauline has graciously shared with us a photograph of Jimmy and the White House Christmas tree angel. Now, back to the People’s Tree and the Whistle Stops along the Way. The Whistle Stops are coordinated with local communities by U. S. Forest Service personnel who arrive at the Whistle Stop destination about an hour ahead of the trailer hauling the tree. This year a contest was held for Washington State school children to paint a mural on plywood of woodland scenes. A forester set up three “photo ops� of paintings chosen to travel with the tree. One was the body of a deer with a hole cut out for the children to be photographed with their face as that of a deer. Another was of a Christmas tree with several holes cut out for children to be photographed as a part of the tree. Another Forest Service employee hosted a table to pass out handouts about the tree, to sell souvenir pins and to answer questions for the guests. Still another Forest Service employee was at the trailer providing guests the opportunity to sign a canvas the length of the trailer.
are as old as ours, anything more than a flat tire could total them,� said Sharp, the fleet manager. Loy said the new cars will replace six vehicles, each with more than 200,000 miles. It will enhance safety for officers and the general public. The plan would put six new cars on the road now at no additional cost to taxpayers. But the sheriff would not ask for new cruisers for two more years. “We’re all about saving money,� commissioners agreed. They also lamented the passing of the late, great Crown Victoria (Ford Motor Company quit making them in 2012.). “There will never be a police chase vehicle as good,� someone said. Commissioner Jeff Brantley suggested that the sheriff take a mix of models, going for the cheapest price. Butcher said the purchase price is
Jimmy and Pauline White and the White House Angel, 1993 Some years this canvas would become filled with names and additional canvases would be required. Some signees made a game of calling ahead to future Whistle Stops to have family and friends find their names. Sharing the tree with the people annually is so special that Santa and Mrs. Claus take a month from their work at the North Pole to ride along in the second trailer to greet folks along the way. Hot chocolate, coffee and goodies were provided at this year’s Whistle Stops by Pilot Flying J and Battelle Corporation. So local folks

not the only consideration. Purchasing agents must look at maintenance costs as well. He said the county could take delivery in 6 to 8 weeks of placing the order. And he disclosed that dealer Jacky Jones of Georgia has two late model, low mileage vehicles that he could throw into the mix. Butcher is driving one now, presumably as a trial. Finally, Commissioner Chris Upton moved to authorize the purchase of two late model used cruisers now and the taking of bids on four new ones. That motion prevailed with Stanley Boles and Brenda Jessee voting no. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The multi-month discussion was over. Until Commissioner Gary England pointed out: “That was a vote to bid, not a commitment to buy.� Ahhh. Stay tuned.

terrific bowl memories. The Vols are third in appearances (49) and seventh in victories (25). They played in seven Sugar Bowls and six Cotton Bowls, back when it was significant. Steve Spurrier made jokes about UT and the Citrus Bowl but the Vols are 4-1 in Orlando – much better than not being there. Tennessee 20, Texas 14 on Jan. 1, 1951, in Dallas was the first bowl to get my undivided attention. I was a high school senior listening on radio. Later, I was blessed to hear how they did it from the principals, Herky Payne, Hank Lauricella, Andy Kozar, Bob Davis, Jim Haslam, Jimmy Hahn, John Michels, Gordon Polofsky, Ted Daffer, Pug Pearman, Pat Shires and others.
The long journey In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. (Luke 2: 1-5 NRSV) O carry her safe to Bethlehem, little gray donkey, tonight. A miracle rests on your small feet, little gray donkey, tonight. All heaven is watching your mission divine, And over a stable a star waits to shine, While shepherds and wise men all look for a sign, Little gray donkey, tonight. (“Little Gray Donkey,� Roger Wagner)

Doug Atkins never said much about that particular game. He was involved in other big ones. Kozar had keen recollection of the halftime theme by General Robert R. Neyland: “We’ve got ’em right where we want ’em.� The Vols were trailing 14-7 but the coach said superior conditioning would decide the second half. It did. Kozar scored two touchdowns. I so badly wanted the great 1956 team to win the Sugar Bowl. That was the down day in John Majors’ all-American career, one for seven as a passer with two interceptions and the fumbled punt that led to Baylor’s victory. It was hard to accept Oklahoma 26, Tennessee 24 in the 1968 Orange Bowl.
Tennessee trailed 19-0 at halftime, woke up and outscored the Sooners 24-7 in the second half. Karl Kremser’s field-goal try was ruled wide right. His hurt remains a vivid image. No. 2 among my favorites was 1971 in New Orleans, Tennesssee 34, Air Force 13. There was a week of warmup. Polished brass and snappy ribbons got almost all the attention. Tennessee was told several times that Air Force was at least awesome. Finally, they lined up for a game. The Vols scored three touchdowns and a field goal in the first quarter. Bobby Scott was MVP. Bobby Majors returned a punt for six. Tim Priest, Ray Nettles and Jamie Rotella were much too much on defense.
My favorite bowl blast was New Orleans 1986, Sugar Vols 35, mighty Miami 7. Daryl Dickey was tour guide. Fantastic defensive plan gathered turnovers and squelched Vinny Testaverde. The town turned orange. Tennessee’s victory over Ohio State in the 1996 Citrus was fun. Jay Graham had a good game. Peyton Manning was good enough. Jeff Hall kicked clinching field goals. Heisman hero Eddie George absorbed some big hits. You are correct, whipping Florida State in Tempe to win the 1998 national championship was the really big bowl. At the time, I thought there would be others.
away from the carpentry shop, the weather (it may well have been springtime, and not December, so that rains were a concern, and I can tell you from personal experience that March in Israel is cold!), the lack of Holiday Inns along the way, and Mary’s pregnancy and approaching due date. There must have been a lot of traffic on the roads, because everyone in the country had to register. Under normal circumstances, there might have been a caravan of other native Judeans they could join. However, because of Mary’s growing waistline, Joseph may have chosen to travel separately from the others from Nazareth, to avoid the whispers, the pointing fingers and the knowing looks. Any woman who has been pregnant (not to men-
tion any man who has lived with a pregnant woman!) knows that the last days of a first pregnancy are not easy. Aside from the physical discomfort of carrying around this bowling ball in her tummy, imagine Mary’s backache from riding on that little gray donkey, her fear of delivering her first child so far from home and her mother, the sense that all of this is unfair, and if itweren’t for the honor of the thing, she would be just as happy if she had never met the angel Gabriel. As long as the physical journey was, however, the faith journey was longer and wider and deeper. God chose this couple for good reason: they were made of sturdy stuff, and they were obedient and faithful. Without fully understanding the why’s and the wherefore’s,
with no roadmap or guarantees, they were willing to undertake the task that God had laid before them. Unable to see around the curves or over the hills, they heard, heeded and obeyed. They set out on the adventure that would make them immortal.

Patriots split week’s games
The Patriots girls and boys teams split last week’s games against Austin-East and Grainger County, with the girls soundly sending Austin-East home by scoring 75 points to A-E’s 39. The boys lost a close one to A-E with a score of 56 to 62. Roger Murphy, Patriot girls coach, says about the big win over A-E, “The team had a good offensive night with four girls scoring double digit points, led by Madison Brantley with 25 points.” Boys coach Shane Brown

Athletes of the Week Sophomore Luke Shoffner and freshman Briley Buckner, both basketball players, are athletes of the week for Union County High School. Buckner says her team’s big win over Austin-East was definitely the year’s best game to date. It was the team’s first district win. Buckner also plays softball and is in Junior Beta Club and HOSA. She is the daughter of Gina and Andy
Buckner, therefore Briley has been a Children’s Charities volunteer since birth. Her mother heads up the Christmas gifts program for needy children. Luke Shoffner says the basketball team’s first win over Gibbs early in the season “showed us we could do it” and says coach Shane Brown is a good coach who draws up good plays. As the team’s shooting guard, Shoffner scored 13

points in the recent close loss to Austin-East. He is the son of Brian and Wendy Shoffner.
The ‘Stardust’ of a song
The sounds of Hoagy Carmichael’s “Stardust” – my favorite song – came wafting from the auditorium at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center on a rainy afternoon. It was played as it was meant to be heard, on classic RCA vinyl, as part of Robert Booker’s Vintage Music Listening Party. Booker read an article about Piqua, Ohio, the home of the original Mills Brothers and decided to invite a
Jake Mabe MY TWO CENTS few friends over to listen to records. That’s what you used to do, you see, back before MTV or the Internet or iPods came to be.
“People are always complaining,” says Booker, the Center’s executive director and a popular newspaper columnist. “The radio stations ignore us. They never play any vintage music.” Booker brought his own records, 45 and 33 1/3 rpms, so many he’s lost count. He knows he owns 4,500 top 10 tunes and keeps redmarked chart books to remember what he’s bought. His earliest record is from 1906, a recording by
says, “The Austin East game was a bit of a disappointment for our team. Late in the game we just made some crucial mistakes and they really took over the rebounds, which was a big key.” Grainger County took down the Patriot girls, 41 to 65, while the boys got revenge in a 70-67 win. Murphy says, “Against Grainger, we just made too many mistakes to keep up with the Grizzlies. Again, Madison Brantley led the team in scoring with 16
points.” “Our boys’ Grainger game was a very hard fought game. I have a lot of respect for coach (Derrick) Combs and his team. They play hard and have a very good team, so for us to come out on top, I was pleased. Bryce Buckner was a huge factor once Landon got into foul trouble – a very good win for us,” says Brown. Next games (after press time) are against No. 6 Fulton and No. 19 GatlinburgPittman.
Holiday concert Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Carrie Roberts, originally from Maynardville and stationed aboard Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station Far East Detachment Misawa, plays the flute during a concert with Japanese Air Self-Defense Force’s Northern Air Defense Band, Dec. 7.

Bert Williams, who Booker says was the first black Broadway star. The theme was musical groups, so Booker played The Mills Brothers, of course, and also The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, The Ink Spots, The Four Tops, The McGuire Sisters and more. Dressed in a burgundy sport coat and a red tie, Booker worked two turntables and served as MC. “I’ve heard CDs in night clubs, but I’ve never played one. I just keep my records in their jackets.” Before he plays them, he cleans the vinyl with 70 per-

cent isopropyl alcohol. “You see people blow (dust off) records. That’s the worst thing you can do.” Brenda Newman of Heiskell read Booker’s newspaper column and said she came to hear the music. She was hoping Booker would play Percy Sledge’s “When A Man Loves A Woman.” Rebecca Davidson of Fountain City said she was interested in the Beck Center and is a fan of anything by Ella Fitzgerald. Bob played The Platters’ “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” and suddenly I was at the sock hop with Ron Howard and Cindy Williams in
“American Graffiti.” So much of this music harkens back to the days before America’s perceived innocence was blasted into oblivion on a dreadful November day in Dallas, 1963. “Compare this with today’s music,” Booker says. “There’s a world of difference. I hear little melody and there’s nothing hummable about it.” But for a few moments last Thursday, our love was new, each kiss was an inspiration and I found my consolation in the stardust of a song. “Pull Up A Chair” with Jake Mabe at jakemabe.blogspot.com.

Causes of back pain Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Back pain can come from a variety of sources. Certainly, a traumatic incident like a fall or an automobile accident can cause it. But numerous health conditions can also play a role in back pain. Here are a few: ■ Herniated disc – between each of the vertebrae of the spine is a cushioning disc. When the disc is herniated, or ruptured, material from inside the disc pushes out and can put pressure on a nerve. This condition generally occurs in the lower back. ■ Osteoporosis is a
loss of bone density that can result in fractures of the vertebrae, and other bones, of course. ■ Sciatica is a shooting, stabbing pain that can run down the leg as far as the foot. A disc pressing against the sciatic nerve is usually the cause. ■ Spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, is a condition often caused by arthritis. In the narrowed chamber, pressure can build on the spinal cord. ■ Spondylitis is chronic back pain and stiffness cause by inflammation or infec-
tion of the spinal joints. ■ Spondylosis is a type of arthritis caused by degeneration of the spine that comes with advancing age. ■ Stress can cause muscles to become tense and cause pain. These are just some of the reasons why you might experience back pain. Talk with your chiropractor about ways to avoid and, when necessary, address back pain.

Casteel is new youth director at Christ UMC By Cindy Taylor Eric Casteel has a heart for youth – and he is putting that to good use as the new director of youth and young adult ministries at Christ United Methodist Church. Casteel started Oct. 13 and says things are going well. “My heart is to bring youth closer to God and help them on a path to discipleship,” he said. “Right now we are trying to nail down where we are going on mission next summer.” Casteel has a bachelor’s degree in church vocations with an emphasis in youth ministry from Tennessee Wesleyan College. The youth serve dinner once each month at the Volunteer Ministry Center, will go caroling for shutins for Christmas and will
travel to West Town Mall to help with the Angel Tree Ministry in the next few days. Casteel has a couple of things he wants to add to what is already going on at the church, such as a youth band. “I would love to see our youth get more comfortable bringing their friends and more comfortable with me. I want them to feel they can share anything they are struggling with.” Casteel says the transition period for a new youth minister is about three years as far as seeing growth. “Even so I am hoping to see at least some growth in the next year.” In his free time, Casteel likes to hang with friends playing tuba, bass guitar and electric guitar, and says
