Bert’s-eye view gave ‘Strolling’ power San Francisco had Herbert E. “Herb” Caen (19161997). Memphis had Anthony James “Jim” Cortese (1917-2006). Chicago had Michael “Mike” Royko (1932-1997). And Knoxville had Bert Vincent. Each of those authors wrote daily columns for the leading newspapers in their respective cities and discussed local events, social gossip and politics and frequently covered offbeat stories. Berthiell “Bert” Vincent was born on May 4, 1896, in Bee Springs (Edmondson County) in west central Kentucky. Today, the Mammoth Cave National Park occupies almost one-fourth of the county and attracts about 2 million visitors a year. Both of his parents were educators and, at the time of Bert’s death, his brothers, Carl and J.O., were superintendents of schools in their respective counties. For a time, Bert wanted to be an educator, too.
Jim Tumblin
He once summed up his early life in his telegraphic style: “Farmed. Worked in timber. Clerked country store. Peddled Bibles. Ran off from home at 15. Rode first train I’d ever seen. Liked to have starved.” But, seeking more education, he soon entered Kentucky State Normal College in Bowling Green. After he graduated and received his teacher’s certificate, he became a high school principal for a while. But journalism called, and he bought a newspaper in Leitchfield, Ky. He sold it back to the former owner for a small profit after only six months. He joined the Army during World War I and rose to the rank of second lieutenant during two
years in the service. By 1920 he had returned to newspaper jobs – in Kansas and Missouri and in Jackson and Nashville, Tenn. After subsequent sojourns with papers in Ohio and Illinois, he moved to Evansville, Ind., where he served for five years. He joined the staff of the Knoxville News-Sentinel in 1927 and, except for an eightmonth stint in Texas, he remained with that paper for the rest of his career. Until late April 1933, his columns contained various offbeat items and police reports. But on that last Sunday, his columns were christened and formalized under the title “Strolling” and would continue thus for the next 35 years. He would later observe that he had worn out some 27 Chevrolets roaming the back roads in the mountains of Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky collecting stories

Three sites added to National Register
The Tennessee Historical Commission has added three Tennessee sites to the National Register of Historic Places. “The National Register is an honorary recognition for time-honored places that enrich our communities and make them unique,� said Patrick McIntyre, state historic preservation officer and executive director Wendy of the Tennessee Historical Smith Commission.

Can private money help build roads? David Price just wants to be able to ride a bike out of his West Knox neighborhood. But his idea for making Northshore Drive a safer place to ride could lead to safer roads, and better connectivity, throughout Knox County. Some would call his plan crazy. He wants to add a center turn lane, bike lanes on both sides of the road and a sidewalk to 7.6 miles of Northshore from Pellissippi Parkway to the Loudon County line. When that’s done, he’d like to extend improvements the other direction − from Pellissippi to Lakeshore Park. “We’re spending $50 million on a park you can’t get to. There’s no connectivity.� Connected communities are sustainable communities, Price says. He wants to raise private funding, through individual and corporate donations, to match county, state and federal grant dollars available for road improvements. By leveraging private money, he thinks the costly project is doable. He was inspired by the Path Foundation in Atlanta, which has raised over $100 million in private funds over the past 20 years. Those funds have been leveraged to build 160 miles

struction of fire lookout towers in the state at this time reflected the realization that these remote areas, with difficult to traverse land, needed a permanent structure for fire management. The fire lookout tower is important locally for its design and as a representation of the state’s efforts to protect and manage its natural resources. Kettlefoot Fire Lookout Tower: The Kettlefoot Fire Lookout Tower is in Johnson County in the Cherokee National Forest. Similar to the English Mountain Fire Lookout Tower, the 60-foot galvanized steel tower was erected by the Civilian Conservation Corps around 1936. It has the panoramic square cab and is sited at an elevation of 3,889 feet. Built by the Aermotor Company of Chicago, the tower has had

We don’t have the money to maintain, not to mention improve, our roads.� Ownby and Schoonmaker approved of the concept, and brought up Tazewell Pike and Maryville Pike as obvious targets for similar improvement.

few changes and retains much historic fabric. Chevy Chase House and First Presbyterian Church Complex: Located in Jackson, the site is comprised of the 1915 house known as Chevy Chase, the 1953-1957 First Presbyterian Church and Carillon, the 1955-1958 education building, and the historic setting and gates. The house was built in the Classical Revival style for Clarence and Sarah Pigford, prominent Jackson residents. Around 1951, Sarah Pigford deeded the house to the First Presbyterian Church with stipulations that a memorial carillon be constructed on the property and the house could not be used as a residence. The carillon was built in 1953 and the church added to it in 1956-1957. Chevy Chase is an excellent representation of Classical Revival
architecture in Jackson, as seen in the columned portico, symmetrical form and interior details. The First Presbyterian Church is a good example of post-WWII Classical Revival design. The massive columns with stylized capitals, pedimented entry and interior woodwork show how Classical Revival architecture changed during the first half of the 20th century. The National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation. It is part of a nationwide program that coordinates and supports efforts to identify, evaluate and protect historic resources. The Tennessee Historical Commission, as the State Historic Preservation Office, administers the program in Tennessee.
‘Strolling’ power about two-headed calves, giant sunflowers, vegetables shaped like people or the genesis of mountain ballads. These words appeared in a typical column on Christmas Eve, 1940: Mrs. Arthur Groesser has made up a unique Christmas card. It is a water color picture of “Aunt� Angeline’s (Angeline Foley of Cumberland Falls, Ky.) cabin with a poem, a parody of Longfellow’s “Hiawatha� on the back: In the mountains of Kentucky/With the red birds and the pine trees/ There before her hearth she fashions/Patient, cheerful, with the spirit/Of the Master Pattern-Maker. Long ago in field and woodland,/She toiled bravely with her father./At her loom in winter weather/ Coverlets and cloth were woven./There, she learned the Christmas spirit,/A Madonna of the mountains!/In a cabin of Kentucky. After marrying Ellen Hynds in 1944, Bert commuted from Dandridge each day. The couple lived in the bride’s ancestral home, which had been occupied by first Confederate and then Union troops during the Civil War. Over the years Bert promoted the Wheelchair Club, which loaned wheelchairs to those who needed them. When he wrote of the need for a chapel at the old George Maloney Home for the Indigent, more than 75,000 readers contributed, and it was built and named the Bert Vincent Chapel by County Commission. He also founded the Cosby Ramp Festival, which became such a large event that President Harry S. Truman attended one year. By 1958 his arthritis had slowed him down, and Vincent flew to Hot Springs, Ark., and entered the Levi Memorial Hospital where he was treated for about five weeks. He would return there periodically when the arthritic pain became too much to bear. On a July afternoon in 1966, without speaking a word to anyone, he left this
From page 1 note on his desk, “I’m plumb sick over thoughts of leaving. Been here too long – 38 years. So I’m just slipping out the back door. I want no farewell parties, no gifts and no goodbyes. And no tears. I cry easily.â€? But his readers would have none of that and wrote the paper to say so. Within weeks his Strolling columns appeared again, but now only on Sunday. Bert’s friend and fellow reporter, Willard Yarbrough, would describe his friend in the introduction to his collection of “The Best Stories of Bert Vincentâ€? (1968) in these words: A coal miner, emerging from a disaster deep in the earth, will scan the press and ask, “Where’s Bert Vincent?â€? A cripple will call, wanting loan of a wheelchair from the Wheelchair Club. A housewife will find a home or animal shelter refuge for an unwanted pet through his column. A mountain woman will hire a cab and ride 50 miles just to meet a columnist she’s read since she was a girl. A president, such as Harry S. Truman, will attend a Cosby Ramp Festival, which Vincent founded. County indigents at a “poor farmâ€? will worship in a chapel built with funds Vincent solicited. His humanitarianism has brought him awards, his literary talents honorary college degrees. He is, despite his modesty, true sage of the Smokies and a friend of man. ‌ His lifetime of giving rather than receiving perhaps is best summed up by an anonymous friend, who said: “Bert Vincent has religion and doesn’t know it.â€? Bert Vincent succumbed to pneumonia in Jefferson Memorial Hospital in Jefferson City on Sept. 26, 1969. His services were held in the Dandridge First Baptist Church with the Rev. Robert McCray and the Rev. Charles Trentham officiating. He was survived by his wife, Ellen Hynds Vincent, his two brothers and three sisters.

Christmas Parade
Members of Union Missionary Baptist Church chose an Old-Fashioned Merry Christmas for their float theme.
Step off, Halloween! The Luttrell Christmas Parade was this year’s go-to for kids needing a sugar fi x. Or a Teddy bear fi x. Or a jewelry fi x. Candy and novelties galore were tossed from vehicles to the community members who turned out in droves on the fall-like Saturday. More than 80 entries came to share the joy of the season on Dec. 5 in what was the longest and most spectacular Luttrell Christmas Parade to date. This year, almost as many residents as businesses and churches got into the spirit with floats, cars and horses along with a few unusual modes of transportation. Attendance was up as well.

Recollections around Ailor Gap Henley Revels helped to run Ailor grist mill where corn was ground into corn meal and wheat ground into baking flour. The mill was located on Ailor Gap Road. Neighbors said wealth was not in his vocabulary; he had several children and worked hard to support them. His death was a sad event in Union County’s history. One day he was in the mill and heard a noise outside near the water wheel, which was driven by Bull Run Creek. He went outside to check; there wasn’t anything there. He was standing on a slippery rock beside the wheel. Suddenly he fell off the rock and was heaved under the giant wheel. The split-second action instantly broke his neck. Another account of his death is that he was upstairs at the mill and decided to ride the water wheel down to the first floor. He stepped on a rotten plank and his leg was caught in the wheel. He could not get loose before being dragged under the wheel. About one hour later he was found dead in the water by his 12-year-old son. This was indeed a pathetic moment in the life of a child and for the county. Mr. Revels is not listed in Footprints, the catalog of cemeteries. Either he doesn’t have a stone or is buried elsewhere. If anyone knows the approximate time he worked at the mill or where he is buried, please let me know. Samuel Norris ran the
Bonnie Peters
sawmill on Ailor Gap Road near the Ailor Mill. It wasn’t a very big place, but it was also a social gathering area. Mr. Norris lived on a side of a ridge facing Mendenhall Hollow. I understand the hollow across Bull Run Road and running toward the mill became known as Norris Hollow. Comb Ridge was covered with huge trees and a great variety of wild flowers. It was here Mr. Norris had a log cabin covered with shingles. This was the home for himself, his wife and their children. The children would run and jump in the summer air while their father would work in his saw mill. Samuel would have to work hard to support his wife, Willie Mae, and nine children. I understand Dr. M. L. Jenkins, a local physician, delivered these nine children. Although Samuel was well liked in the area, he apparently didn’t use his money wisely and sometimes his children would help the family by selling berries and eggs. Mr. Norris died in 1960. I also have not found a record of his death and burial. On down Ailor Gap Road from the Ailor Mill was the John Gentry Store at the intersection of Ailor Gap
Ailor Mill
Road and Satterfield Road. John Gentry began the store when he was in his early thirties after having taught school for a number of years. The store wasn’t big, but it was the social place for all the menfolk in the community. Mr. Gentry would buy eggs and chickens from local farmers and sell them in his store. Mr. Gentry was a hard worker and always worked from early morning until dusk so people could come before and after a day’s work. He kept his store open seven days a week. Legend has it that the women in the community were not too pleased because their husbands would be found on Gentry’s porch “shooting the bull” on Sunday mornings instead of going to church, which was on the other side of Satterfield Road and about 100 feet from the store.
The Social Centers: The stores, the mills and the churches also served as social centers for communities. From the early 1900s to present day, the houses and farms of different East Tennessee folks were divided by ridges, hills, fields and creeks. Church gatherings of-
fered time for people to talk of their families and of new and upcoming events. Pleasant Grove Methodist Church held a homecoming in the summer. It was a time when all the neighbors would bring dishes of corn, beans, chicken, dessert and bread, which would be eaten after the sermon and be-
tween talking and laughing. Pleasant Grove is not a big church but it has large windows. In days gone by, I’m told that shouting and foot stomping was not unusual. Pleasant Grove Methodist Church is an historic structure and a county treasure. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth your drive by.
Silver and gold I went to a flea market one Saturday when I was in high school. I spoke to a lady that I thought was a good friend of mine, and she spoke back. We began to chat, only to find that each of us thought we knew the other but were mistaken. I don’t know who that lady thought I was, but I thought she was my good friend Linda Clevenger (Welch). I’m sure Linda is glad to know she has a double somewhere. I met Ms. Linda when she came to Horace Maynard High School as a Title I teacher when I was a freshman. She only stayed there one year before she relocated to the Central Office as the district’s Title I Coordinating Teacher. Though I was never in her class, she became, and remains to this day, one of my best friends. Linda was not only a very pleasant person with whom to talk, she rescued me many times from having to stay in bus wait. There were certain individuals in bus wait that I felt it best to avoid, and Linda on more than one occasion dropped me at my house on her way
Ronnie Mincey
to her home in Luttrell. I appreciate now, but did not understand then, the legal liability that Linda took upon herself by transporting me in her personal vehicle. She did this just out of the goodness of her heart to save me the stress and aggravation of bus wait. Though my overprotective parents never met Linda, they were not disturbed that a teacher brought me home without their knowledge or written permission. They had no concern for my safety or well-being when I was in the care of school personnel. My parents still had that respect for and faith in the public school system that was once prevalent. Unfortunately, by the time I began teaching I learned that implicit trust was no longer guaranteed just because of the position. Linda was still working
in Union County’s Central Office when I returned to the system as a teacher. I would occasionally see her, but I had more opportunity for professional interaction when I became principal of Sharps Chapel Elementary. By this time Linda had married, had a son, and relocated her place of residence to Claiborne County. She retired from the Union County Public Schools only to begin another job as a Spanish teacher at Bell County High School in Kentucky, where she remains. Most importantly, Linda has remained my friend for 36 years. A few times a year Roger Flatford, my wife, and I meet Linda for a meal or small social occasion. Modern technology with its texting capabilities makes it ever easier to stay in touch with friends who are like minded. A song we learned in elementary school comes to mind when I think of Linda Clevenger Welch: Make new friends, but keep the old; One is silver and the other gold. More teacher tales on the way.

Kirkland football is full-time job Happy birthday,
The story of college football in the higher elevations… Young linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. started and played well for Tennessee against Southeastern Conference foes. Butch Jones says Kirkland has exceptional instincts for a freshman, “great instincts.” The coach says Kirkland had great parenting, great training at the high school level and he’s a high-character young man with a great love for football. To make additional use of one of the coach’s favorite words, great! Defensive coordinator John Jancek sees Darrin Kirkland greatness from another point of view. “He has a lot of potential. His upside is huge and exciting. We’ve just got to keep working, the rest of this year and the offseason.” And next year. And the year after. And all the time in between, spring drills, summer improvement, work, work, work, be nimble, be quick, read keys, anticipate,
Marvin West
run to the ball, deliver a blow. College football is an almost full-time job. If a player isn’t playing football, he is preparing to play. He is thinking football, studying football and, meanwhile, working to get stronger to become a better football player. He is eating according to directions from the food coach and sleeping with a magic monitor to be sure he is getting real rest. Not incidentally, football players also go to school. Many make excellent grades. Several achieve academic all-star status. Be reminded of Bob Johnson, Mike Terry, Tim Irwin, Mack Gentry, Tim Priest, Joshua Dobbs … there is a considerable list. Now and then one wins everything except the Heis-
man and graduates in three years instead of four. And stays and plays some more. Think Peyton Manning. Darrin Kirkland Jr. likes the idea of being an accomplished football player. He says he takes a lot of pride in playing well. He says being competitive and getting to the ball is his game. Darrin has a pep line he directs at linebacker star Jalen Reeves-Maybin: “I always tell Jalen when we’re on the field, ‘I’ll meet you at the ball and we’ll see what happens.’” What happens is the culmination of ability, training and effort. It appears college players go far beyond the NCAA-limited 20 hours per week in football development. The latest survey I’ve seen says the average is 44.8 hours a week playing games, practicing, training and recovering. The group of Northwestern players who thought they wanted to form a union said they were spending 50 hours on football. The survey says football
players in power conferences invest a little less than 40 hours a week on academics. That doesn’t leave much time for video games or dancing with darlings. Complex forces affect the voluntary commitment: motivational coaches, personal pride, winning spirit, desire to excel, investment in the perceived future (NFL). Darrin Kirkland gets the full load. He hears the word “potential” and wants to move that up a notch. He is fueled and driven by a natural desire for excellence. He wants to play as a pro. Darrin was recruited to be Tennessee’s middle linebacker. He has all the necessary tools, size, strength, speed, smarts – plus toughness and a high-RPM motor. Considering what he has accomplished as a rookie, try projecting his likely performance as a sophomore. Wow! Oh, wait, there is a postscript: If he keeps working, Jancek says. Marvin West invites reader reactions. His address is westwest6@netzero.com
‘Searching for the King’ By Cindy Taylor Ryan Flint is three years into his ministry as the music minister at Beaver Dam Baptist Church. “Time flies when you’re having fun and really busy,” he said. This year’s Christmas production promised to be one of the church’s best yet. Held this past weekend, Dec. 12-13, the music ministry presented “Searching for the King.” “This is a story of two journeys separated by two millennia but the questions faced by our travelers are universal in time and scope,” said Flint. “Both journeys are difficult but both will encounter the Savior Jesus Christ.” The main choir consisted of more than 50 voices. The choir was joined during the story by the orchestra, drama team, tech team and kids choir for a total of more than 90 people. Cyndi Waters and Tim Hopkins directed the drama
to Alan Summers. Summers is known at the church and in the community as the “go-to” guy extraordinaire for difficult and elaborate sets. This year Summers worked on a convertible set that went instantly from one scene to another. “This scene is smaller than last year but is still built on rollers,” said Summers. “When the kitchen scene is finished we can turn the cabinet around and it converts to a manger scene.” Big Don’s once again provided costumes to bring authenticity to the production. “Searching for the King” was a free event with free childcare. “We invited everyone to journey with us as we worBeaver Dam Baptist Church member Alan Summers lines up a ship, celebrate Jesus and cut as he works on the set design for the church’s Christmas remember the true meaning production.

Watch calories in holiday eating With Christmas and New Year’s Day ahead, nutrition experts at UT Knoxville suggest some mealtime makeovers that will keep your holiday feasts yummy without expanding your tummy. Lee Murphy, a lecturer in UT’s Department of Nutrition, urges people – especially dieters – to be mindful of what they serve. “For individuals losing weight or maintaining losses, holiday meals include a landslide of temptations,” said Murphy. “I recommend filling your plate with unprocessed vegetables like fresh green

Here are Murphy’s “eat this, not that” suggestions: ■ Choose white-meat instead of dark-meat turkey to cut calories and fat grams. ■ Sweet potatoes – without the butter and marshbeans instead of green bean mallow topping – provide casserole, lean white turkey a nutrient-dense substitute with minimal gravy and for white potatoes. nutrient-dense starches like ■ Green beans – versus fresh sweet potatoes with- the traditional cream-loadout the buttery topping.” ed green bean casserole – While no one wants to cut sodium and fat intake. give up the traditional holi■ Steamed corn – rather day fare, substituting each than creamed corn – also dish on your plate with a trims fats and sodium. healthier alternative can ■ Whole wheat rolls have dramatically reduce your a nutritional advantage over

Murphy also advises people to avoid splurging. The temptation to overindulge comes with the holidays – from Halloween through New Year’s – and can lead to unwanted weight gain. So enjoy in moderation. “All foods can fit into a healthy lifestyle, but we still should remember reasonable serving sizes,” said Murphy.
Beethoven He will come with vengeance, with terrible recompense. He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped. (Isaiah 35:4-5 NRSV) I have always had a special love affair with Beethoven. One of the first piano pieces I learned as a child (second grade, as I recall) was a (very) simplified version of his “Ode to Joy.” I knew his story of increasing deafness, and knew that when that was first performed, at the close of the debut of the Ninth Symphony, a friend turned him around so that he could see the audience’s response, even though he could not hear either the music itself or the thunderous applause of the crowd. There was a period of about four months when I was in college that I was having ringing in one ear and some fairly serious vertigo. I lost some range of hearing in one ear, and felt it was another link with the great composer. I love to sing his “Ode to Joy” which is in the United Methodist Hymnal with two different

sets of words. I am also proud of the fact that the Methodists got it right in starting the last line of the text on the fourth beat of the measure instead of the first; that one beat gives that line of the music a sense of importance and urgency that it would otherwise lack. We don’t know with certainty the date of Beethoven’s birthday, but his christening was recorded on Dec. 17, 1770, and given the custom of the day, to christen a child at the earliest possible time (infant mortality being incredibly high), historians have assumed that he was born on Dec. 16. So, happy birthday, Herr Beethoven!

Good parenting can help keep your teen drug-free. Talk to your teen about drugs. Research shows that kids are less likely to use drugs and alcohol if their parents talk to them about the risks.
Set clear “No-Drug� rules. Tell your teen that drugs and alcohol are not allowed and outline consequences for breaking the rules.
Be involved. Teens whose parents are involved in their lives are less likely to use drugs or alcohol.
Ask the right questions. Know what your children are doing when they are away from you, where they go, and who their friends are. Monitor digital activity, too.
Stay informed about drug threats. Keep up with new drug trends teens might be into. Track quantities of medication in your own home and dispose of old pills safely and property.

1330 Main Street • Maynardville, TN. Across from Food City It’s small comfort, of course, to know that millions of Americans are afflicted with lower back pain. Just know that if you are one of them, you’re not alone. As common as it is, there are steps you can take to minimize your exposure to the problem. These are recommended by the American Chiropractic Association: • Remain conscious of your posture during the day. Try to stand erect, head up, shoulders back, while letting your spine maintain its natural curve. Keeping your weight under control and your muscles toned will help, as will regular chiropractic maintenance treatments. • When sitting, try to keep your knees on a line that is slightly higher than your hips. Keep your head up – remember, it can weigh from eight to
12 pounds or so – and your back straight. • When standing, keep one foot slightly in front of the other and your knees flexed. This will take some of the pressure off your back. • When lifting, don’t twist as you lift. Twisting is one of most dangerous motions for the spine, particularly if it’s already being called on to support something heavy. And don’t bend at the waist to pick up something heavy. Lower yourself by bending your knees, and let your more heavily-muscled legs do the work. • Talk with your chiropractor about other ways to protect your back. Presented as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, Tenn. 992-7000.
