Coffee break
Prior to his retirement, Charles and Kathy Pittman visited every county within a 40mile radius of Knoxville. They decided to make their home in Union County’s Sharps Chapel community at Sunset Bay because of the area’s sense of place, its friendly people and Norris Lake’s beautiful scenery. Meet Charles Pittman in this week’s Coffee break. See page 6

By Cindy Taylor The Union County Rescue Squad held the county’s annual Christmas Parade on Dec. 9. For more than 25 years the group has been organizing floats, tractors, antique cars and, most of all, Santa in a seasonal display that parades down Highway 33. With unseasonably warm weather, the community turned out in huge numbers to view the parade. This year’s trophy winners included Hill Trucking, Best Commercial Truck; Walnut Grove Youth, Best Religious Float; Maynardville Cutting Crew, Best Commercial Float, the Chester family, Best Antique Truck and Boy Scout Troop 401, Best Club Float. More than 100 antique vehicles lined up, according to commissioner Gary England.

Coaching change ‘comedy of errors’ Changing coaches wasn’t as depressing as some disasters. The search was a comedy of errors. Never have so many who knew so little said so much. Media and fans with “inside” information were very entertaining. Better than Oprah. The outcome was OK. Butch Jones may very well be the best fifth or sixth choice in America. Marvin West says more.

Toys for Tots Union County Children’s Charity/Toys for Tots is finishing up the processing of local children’s wishes. Volunteers are working and organizing 533 gifts. Union County High School Beta Club members, along with students and staff, took about 150 names. They also helped organize the toys.

A rule of reporting is to stay out of the story. That should be simple. It’s not. Last week commissioner Wayne Roach called me out. “Where did I get this information?” he asked. Since he was sitting by commissioner Chris Upton (owner of Union News Leader), I choked back saying I had made it up.

By Cindy Taylor More than 250 cars and 800 people toured outside Fellowship Christian Church last weekend during its two-night Life of Christ drive-thru exhibit. Cedar Ford, Clear Branch, Hubbs Grove, New Friendship, Union and Warwick’s Chapel Baptist
churches joined Fellowship Christian Church for the event, each bringing its own special art and story. The drive-thru began with an angel proclaiming the coming of Christ to Mary and ended with Jesus’ ascension. Along the way major events in the life of Christ
were portrayed, including his baptism, the Last Supper and the discovery of the empty tomb. Pastors Danny Scates, J.T. Russell, Johnny Smith, Jack Walker, Ray Headrick, Jeff Leach and Doug Munsey helped coordinate the congregations for the event.

Frazier signs books in Luttrell
Betsy Stowers Frazier has written a book about her life and how God has brought her to this point in her life. Frazier held a book signing at the Luttrell Library on Dec. 8 for her latest book, “Can you see God?” The book recounts Luttrell native Frazier’s earliests memories and experiences growing up and her journey toward creating Angelic Ministries. “I wanted to share how God has prepared me for Angelic Ministries,” said Frazier. “Hopefully those who read the book will be able to see that.” Frazier founded Angelic Ministries 12 years ago.

Help bring Larry home By Jake Mabe Deanna Hurst called the Shopper-News office with a request. She wants to bring her son home. “(Last year), my youngest son, Larry Lee Hurst Jr., was killed by a drunk driver,” Deanna says. “Larry was only 18. He was my baby and I Hurst Jr. miss him and cry for him every day. Nothing is the same.” Larry was born in Tennessee and attended Union County High School. He had moved with his mother to Lugoff, S.C., so that Deanna could live near her grandson. “Larry loved motorcycles, dirt bikes, four-wheelers, fishing, playing football for the high school, spending time with his two brothers and his mom and family. He was always doing things for his grandparents and was very family-oriented. He
would do anything for anyone and was always smiling and in a good mood. He was loved by everyone who knew him. No one has forgotten him, nor will they. He left a lasting impression.” Deanna says she moved back home to be with her parents after Larry’s death. He was buried on April 15, 2011, in South Carolina because Deanna could not afford to bring him home.

With most everything in place for the holidays, there was little left to do or say. R. Larry Smith, a past president, discussed ideas for promoting the BPA and adding to the membership. Chantay Collins spoke about the Toys for Tots and coat distribution that will take place at the high school today (Saturday, Dec. 15). “Our goal is to get everybody to distribute in one place,” said Collins. “We have had so much help this year and the toys have really come in.” Senior Center director Melanie Dykes talked about the square dancing held 7-9 p.m. each Tuesday at the center. Ages nine years and older are welcome and cost is $4 per session. Union County extension agent Shannon Perrin invited everyone to an ornament-making workshop at the extension office at 1 p.m. Dec. 18. 4H students will be making items for distribution to seniors.

At Monday’s commission meeting, Wayne Roach asked where I got information for a comment in last week’s paper. I had speculated that the school system could get a windfall when three folks are transferred to the new unified finance department. Because of the state’s “maintenance of effort,” the county can’t reduce the amount of local money going to schools. Since Roach was sitting by Chris Upton (owner of Union News Leader), I choked back saying I had made it up.
Instead, I answered: “I had no source on that. I surmised it.” Obviously, the supposition had escaped some. Mike Sexton, for example, said he had specifically asked the county’s advisor from CTAS (County Technical Assistance Service) whether the money would come back to the county when the people were transferred. “I’m furious,” said Sexton. He then threatened to sponsor a resolution “to repeal the whole thing.” Afterwards, county lawyer K. David Myers said he would research the issue. Mayor Mike Williams said even if the school system didn’t have to return the money it would be a good-faith gesture. So I asked Director of Schools Wayne Goforth if he plans to give back the money. “I think I’ll leave that one for the next whipping boy,” he said.

County government to refinance most debt By Sandra Clark

Virtual Academy accounting itemized Under a state-mandated change in accounting procedure, the Tennessee Virtual Academy, operated by Union County Public Schools, now submits an invoice for payment. Under a contract negogiated by the school board, the school system accepts the state per diem for students enrolled in the Virtual Academy. The county then contracts with Virginiabased K12 Corporation to provide teachers, curriculum and testing.
A representative of the education association called this “money laundering” at a previous meeting. The report distributed Dec. 10 shows $561,052 invoiced for November. Of this, $284,843 was for teacher pay and benefits. Another $276,208 was itemized as “support services.” Hmm. Somehow this report does not allay my fears. Wonder what it does for Trustee Gina Buckner? – S. Clark
Union County Commission voted Dec. 10 to refinance almost all of the county’s debt and instructed Scott Gibson of Cumberland Securities to draw up the paperwork. Gibson said the bonds will be sold to the bank or securities dealer that offers the lowest interest rate. The only exception to the debt package is the 2009 Scott Gibson loan for construction of Paulette School. Gibson said Commissioner Bill Cox it has a good interest rate asked if Mayor Mike Wiland “cannot be prepaid.” liams recommended the Union County will shortened the term of its debt, refinance. “Yes, I do,” said paying off the new bonds in Williams. “This represents 2026.

Last summer when watching the Olympics with his dad, Aaron, Carter announced that he wants to become an Olympic runner. As everyone
knows, it’s never too early to establish one’s goals nor is it too early to start work toward the achievement of those goals. Aaron invited Carter to go running with him and apparently Carter took to running like a bird to a nest. They trained for about six months and Carter entered the Dash for Dads Race, a 5k (three miles) race for donations. Carter clocked in at 28 minutes, three seconds, which made him eligible for a drawing. He won a flat panel TV.

UNION COUNTY SHOPPER-NEWS • DECEMBER 15, 2012 • 5 That is impressive. It would have been more meaningful if he had brought back Tee Martin. I sure hope Butch never has to change seven assistants at one time. In trying to decide how slick a salesman Butch really is, I listened carefully to what was said about in-state prospects and top priorities. I think I heard “We will own our state.” That is something like “building a fence” on both sides from Bristol to Memphis. I have heard that before. I have never seen it. I join Dave Hart in wishing Butch the very best. Hart’s wishes may be even more fervent than mine. The athletic director and the coach are linked at the hip.
This was Hart’s call. There are no consultants to blame. There was no search committee. There might should have been. There were several swings and misses. Time was not a factor. Hart had half a season for a head start. He guessed wrong on RSVPs. I don’t know but I’ve been told that people of influence (including Peyton Manning and Kenny Chesney) believed they could deliver Jon Gruden. No, thank you. Hart did not need help and he did not want to relinquish authority, and what’s more, Gruden was a bad idea, a misfit for college football. So, how about Jimbo Fisher? Or the original
Stoops? Do you think Mike Gundy used Hart for leverage? Larry Fedora just wasn’t moving after only one year. Bo Pelini? Probably not. Charlie Strong was a done deal. All that remained was picking the press conference hour. Was Jimmy Cheek a helpful wrap? Hart was shocked by this turndown. Butch Jones was there all the time, rejecting offers left and right, waiting patiently for his dream to come true. What a story! What an ending! *The original “Comedy of Errors” was one of William Shakespeare’s earliest plays. It was a farce with significant humor coming from mistaken identity.
“To hold fast.” Well, that is good news indeed! If Cross God’s intent is to bring us Currents home and hold us fast – to gather us – then all is well. Lynn However, and this is a Hutton huge however! Sometimes we don’t want to be gathered. We don’t want to be held fast. We want to be And it is that motley independent, to have our crew (which includes all of own way. “By myself!” was us sinners) that God prom- my watchword when I was a toddler (so I’m told).

It comes from the Old an emphatic “Baby do it!” English gaderian, which (Eden, on the other hand, is (according to Webster’s who is a different perNew Collegiate Diction- sonality altogether, was ary) akin to the Sanskrit famous for saying philogadh, which means “to sophically, “Whatever.”) hold fast.” Jesus encountered
some of the same recalcitrance among the people of Jerusalem. He wept openly over the city, saying, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!” (Matthew 23:37 NRSV) So, why, I wonder, did this whole line of thought come to me during the Advent season? This sounds more like a Lenten meditation than an Advent one, even to me. Perhaps it is because what I have described is
the human condition: our unwillingness to be “gathered,” to be “held fast,” by our Creator. Our rebellion against God’s love is the reason God had to do something. What God decided to do for us was to become one of us. God came into the world; God arrived (the word Advent means arrival) the way all the rest of us arrived, as a helpless baby. Except that there was one important difference. God came as the One who would fulfill the promise given to Zephaniah: he would save us, gather us, change us, and bring us home. Thanks be to God!
Comedy of errors* Changing coaches wasn’t as depressing as some disasters. The search was a comedy of errors. Never have so many who knew so little said so much. Media and fans with “inside” information were very entertaining. Better than Oprah. The outcome was OK. Butch Jones may very well be the best fifth or sixth choice in America. Several other schools wanted him. I read an editorial which said he is a solid pick. Wow. Butch looks like a football coach. He talks like a football coach. He may be a very good traveling salesman.

In my day-to-day work, I spend a lot of time with our homeless neighbors. They are truly the outcast of our society, sometimes because of their own decision-making and sometimes because of circumstances completely beyond their control. Just as the causes for their current situation vary
widely, so also do their attitudes toward their circumstances. Some are resigned, others are angry; some are looking for a rescuer; still others are fired up to get busy and do something to improve their lot. In other words, they are a lot like the rest of us: a mixed bag.

What is your passion? Family, grandchildren, music, history, good government.
With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch? My late maternal grandmother, Sallie Horton. Mamaw Horton died when I was 15 years old in 1963 and it broke my heart.
Charles Pittman
Other than your parents, who has had the biggest influence on your life and why?
Prior to his retirement, Charles Pittman and his wife, Kathy, visited every county within a 40-mile radius of Knoxville. They decided to make their home in Union County’s Sharps Chapel community at Sunset Bay because of the area’s sense of place, its friendly people and Norris Lake’s beautiful scenery. Pittman was born in Knoxville and is proud of his family’s connection to Tennessee history. “I am related to the Horton family who settled Tennessee, and my great-great-great-uncle Jimmy Ridley was General Andrew Jackson’s quartermaster at the Battle of New Orleans in 1814,” he said. Pittman also has ancestors in the Wilder, Powell, Robertson, Buchanan and Ridley families, all of which came through Cumberland Gap with Daniel Boone. “My great-great-great-uncle Gen. James Robertson is recognized as The Father of Middle Tennessee,” he said. The Pittmans have been married 26 years. Both retired from Mississippi state government this year after a combined 61 years in public service. They have two daughters: Michelle Cox of Farragut and Shauna Sullins of Ogden, Utah. Grandchildren are Austin Sullins, 18; Claire Renee Cox, 3, and Amy Kathryn Cox, 2. During his lifetime, Pittman has worked as a schoolteacher, a Social Security disability examiner, a youth court counselor and as a vocational rehabilitation counselor at the Mississippi state prison, helping find soon-to-be-released inmates jobs on the outside. He has also made several recordings and has performed as a guest on Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry. In his music career he has met and come to know many country stars such as Charley Pride, Vince Gill, Conway Twitty, Jerry Clower, and country music legend and Union County native Roy Acuff. Pittman donated a signed photo of Roy, Wilma Lee Cooper and himself taken outside Roy’s Grand Ole Opry dressing room in 1982 to the Union County Historical Museum. “Roy was a wonderful man and someone Union County can always be proud of,” he said. Pittman was elected to the Mississippi state senate and completed his public service career as consultant and constituent staff representative to former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour. These days, Pittman is more concerned with the future than with the past. His latest gig is that of Santa Claus, a role he plays to help raise funds for granddaughter Claire Cox’s medical bills.
My wife of 26 years, Kathy. She is my foundation, the reason for any success I may have achieved and my best friend.
I still can’t quite get the hang of … Remembering, while singing, all the words to our National Anthem. Pittman can be contacted for Santa bookings and rates at 585-8152 or charlespittman@centurylink.net. Sit and have a coffee break as you get to know Charles Pittman (aka Claire’s Santa):
What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie? When Gary Cooper, in the classic movie “Sgt. York,” says to his bride during the last scene, “The Lord sure does work in mysterious ways!”
What are you guilty of? What is your favorite material possession? I have three. My late grandmother’s mantel clock and the model train and toy airplane my parents gave me for Christmas in 1956. All three still work and run.

Email Working on a garbage truck (before plastic bags) during my 10th grade summer break. I made $1.25 an hour (minimum wage in 1963) and my mother made me bathe outside in the yard before she would let me come inside her house.
What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why? What irritates you?
What is one word others often use to describe you and why? Old school. I am known for being loyal, honest, dependable, a good neighbor and citizen. “A stranger is just a friend I have not met yet” is my standard approach.
Inflatable, mini trampoline & plenty of room to run & play!
What is your social media of choice?

Your spine is the curving structure of bones and discs that support the back and protect the spinal cord, the main conduit of information and sensation running between the brain and the other parts of the body. The spine has 24 small bones–each called a vertebra; together the vertebrae–separated by discs, which are soft, compressible shock absorbers. The spine is considered to have three separate areas, corresponding with its natural curves: the cervical portion consists of the seven vertebrae of the neck; the thoracic portion, with 12 vertebrae in the mid-back; and the lumbosacral portion that is the lower back. From the spinal cord, and through the vertebrae, run nerves that go to every part of the body. You can imagine that if those vertebrae should get out of alignment, either through wear and tear or trauma, they could impinge on a nerve and interfere with the transmission of information between the brain and that body part. Such a misalignment is called a vertebral subluxation. It is at the center of chiropractic philosophy, that a body functioning properly is capable of healing itself in many cases. Chiropractors specialize in manipulating the bones of the spine to keep them in proper line and keep your body working right.

Union County High School Athlete of the Week Tayte Kitts By Cindy Taylor Union County High School senior basketball player Tayte Kitts only has a few more months until graduation Tayte Kitts and plans to play at the next level. But his focus is still on the Patriots and the rest of the season. “We’ve had a couple of
close games where we were right there but then missed it a little bit,” said Kitts. “We’ve got great coaches and we’re playing well as a team.” “Tayte has progressed very well over the summer and has put himself in a position to possibly play at the next level,” said coach Shane Brown. “We are looking for big things from Tayte this year.” Kitts has had a couple of colleges looking at him but hasn’t made a decision at this point. He plans to major in education.

By Sara Barrett The cold weather brings with it all sorts of great things, including Penguin Days at the Knoxville Zoo. Now through Feb. 28, folks can visit the animals at the zoo for half off the regular admission price. Don’t let the cold or a threat of snow scare you. This is a good time to take advantage of our local zoo without dealing with limited parking spaces, long lines, unbearable heat. Some animals don’t care for the cold weather, but they can still be seen in their indoor enclosures on cold winter days. For the little folks, Wee Play Zoo is a great way to warm up indoors with lots of activities for kids. Half-price admission can be purchased online or at the zoo’s ticket office. The zoo is open every day except Christmas.
