County gets motor oil grant The Union County Solid Waste Authority has received a state grant for $23,900 to buy or upgrade tanks, canopies, pads, heater, pumps and absorbents at the collection center for used motor oil. The money comes from a $443,300 fund announced Dec. 18 by the state Department of Environment and Conservation. Mayor Mike Williams applauded the grant, saying proper disposal of motor oil is “one of the easier ways to protect our streams and waterways.” And since there are uses for recycled oil, it’s a real “win-win,” he said. State law requires counties to have at least one place where used oil can be properly disposed. Used oil collection grants are funded by a two-cent deposit on every quart of oil purchased in the state. Info: 1-800-287-9013.

By Sandra Clark The sun popped out from behind dark, heavy clouds as the Union County Rescue Squad Christmas Parade stepped off from the high school Dec. 15. The parade was delayed a week because of weather, and the pessimists among us worried that might be the case last Sunday. Not so. Dozens of horses, bloodhounds from the Sheriff’s Office, and a dog in a Santa hat were among the marchers. Vehicles ranged from a one-of-a-kind three-wheeler to vintage trucks and tractors. Families lined the parade route, a daunting 3.5 mile stretch. Many had bags to collect candy. Several
politicians marched. Most were low-key, but a few had blatant political signs, such as the candidate for district attorney, Lori PhillipsJones. There was even a float urging Tennesseans to “stop the Common Core” education standards. Several churches had complex floats, carefully prepared to illustrate the reason for the season. Allin-all a great parade on a cold but sunny afternoon.
More photos on pages 2 and 3 The Rev. Jack Walker, pastor, stands in front of the float, built to replicate a church.
Warwick plans to ‘keep on having fun’ By Libby Morgan After 37 years and two months in the Union County courthouse, Beulah Moore Warwick is “Going, going, gone!” – or so says her retirement announcement. “It’s a new life for me,” says Warwick. “I’m counting down the days.” She plans to work until the last day of January. “I’m going to enjoy spending more time with my grandson. We love to do things like archery, skateboarding and playing ball. I’ve always been a tomboy. “And I’m going to take some road trips with my friends. I’ve had a ball all through the years, Beulah Warwick
and I’m going to keep on having fun,” she says. Warwick has been the clerk and master the last five years, wrangling lawyers, court schedules and paperwork for the county’s chancery court. She worked for the previous clerk and master, Doris Seymour, for 24 years before taking over. She started her career in Roy Carter’s county clerk office back in 1976. “There have been many weekends when I’ve come in for a few hours to take advantage of the silence and get a case file finished. “On a Sunday in 2011, when a snowstorm was forecast, I packed
up everything I would need, went to church to sing that night, and came on in to my office. I spent two nights here and hours and hours on the phone, re-scheduling court dates. “It’s always been important to me to get my job done right,” she says. A party for Warwick is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 17, and will be a combination retirement and 60th birthday celebration. The festivities will begin with Chancellor Andy Tillman swearing in Sandra Edmondson as new clerk and master. Edmondson has been in training for several weeks.

Pretty is as pretty does The new director of Keep Union County Beautiful ventured to the December meeting of county commission to say hello and present a possible amendment to the litter ordinance. Sonja Hill Warwick handed out copies of the current ordinance and the proposed changes which she said would make litter ordinances consistent across the county. Currently the cities of Maynardville, Luttrell and Plainview have more restrictive ordinances. Commissioners peppered Warwick with questions about political signs and more. Suddenly, someone made a motion to table. Table what? No motion had been made yet. But tabled she was. No one even said Merry
Sandra Clark Christmas. What exactly is Union Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s litter ordinance? And what changes would make it conform to the ordinances of the cities? On June 11, 2007, the county commission adopted regulations to clean up illegal dump sites. The commission created a new position of litter enforcement officer, currently Mike Hale of Sharps Chapel. The ordinance includes many exemptions: owneroccupied property, properly licensed business enterpris-
Simple holiday gifts Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reminded of the Shaker song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simple Gifts,â&#x20AC;? written by Elder Joseph while he was in a Shaker Community in Alfred, Maine. Remember Simplicity is a gift in itself: â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Tis a gift to be simple, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;tis the gift to be free â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be, And when we find ourselves in the place just right, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Twill be in the valley of love and delight. â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? As I get older the hustle and bustle of any holiday turns me off. It seems to me, especially at Christmas, that it is a time to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be Still and Know.â&#x20AC;? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a lot to make me happy, but I have received some of the most wonderful gifts this year. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin to name them all, but I want to share a few of these gifts with you readers, and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a start: 1. All of you who have been so kind to read my columns and buy my books â&#x20AC;&#x201C;better still to tell me you enjoy them. 2. The realization that God doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need me to clap in church and to still have the physical ability to enter into His house with reverence and gratitude. 3. The friends Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met
Bonnie Peters
at the newly formed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Herb Societyâ&#x20AC;? that meets at Maynardville Public Library 11 a.m. the first Saturday of each month. Everyone is welcome. 4. Evelyn Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipes for Kraut Dumplinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Hot Tamales. 5. A Haynes Hickory Nut Tree. 6. That Shirley McMurtrie knows how to crack black walnuts and has shared her canning recipe.
Sonja Hill Warwick es, or any other property owner who did not personally deposit litter or permit others to do so. Additionally, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is prohibited for any person to knowingly place, drop or throw litter on any public or private property without permission and not immediately remove it.â&#x20AC;? Also banned is throwing litter

After cracking the walnuts, put them in a strainer or colander and shake them to get the dust out. Pour them out on a pan and pick out any pieces of shell that are left there. Pour walnuts in pint jars. Seal but not very tight. Place in cold oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour. Take out of oven and turn jars upside down to seal. The canned walnuts will last several years. Check out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Favoritesâ&#x20AC;? cookbook. 7. That Earl Bull makes molasses. Boy, are they good or what? No wonder the legendary Rindy Bailey carried a tin cup with her so that people along her way could fill it with molasses. 8. My neighbor Libbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mushroom logs. 9. The progress of the litter pick-up efforts in Union County. More needs to be done, but it is looking so much better. We welcome what Sonja Warwick will bring to the Keep Union County Beautiful Program. If you know of areas that need attention, please call the County Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office at 992-3061 to let them know. 10. Shirley Keatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detergent recipe that came to
me by way of a Betty Bullen email. Here is my slightly modified version: 1 bar Fels Naptha soap grated with a fine grater. 1 cup washing soda. ½ cup Borax. Mix together and store in a quart jar. As needed, pour 1/3 cup of this mixture in a gallon jug. Fill with hot water and shake. Use 1 cup per load of clothes. Try this. It will save a bunch of money. 11. Valalee Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greens patch. I hope she lets me raid it again in 2014. 12. For the Owen Cook familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elaboration of the benefits of vinegar and honey. For years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard that vinegar and honey helps allergies, joint aches and is â&#x20AC;&#x153;good for what ails you.â&#x20AC;? I had tried it several times, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell that it helped anything. I thought it tasted bad. Then someone said you need local honey to counter allergies. I tried that and still couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell any difference. The taste was still bad. Then, I sat at the table with the Owen Cook family at the Miller Reunion, and they were praising the benefits of vinegar and honey. I learned what makes the difference. The vinegar

Can you hear me now?
Nick Della Volpe is kindly called â&#x20AC;&#x153;irrepressible.â&#x20AC;? His critics are harsher. So when Gov. Bill Haslam emailed Christmas greetings to his millionplus personal friends across the state, he included an invitation to contact him any time about any subject. Now Della Volpe has become a BFF to Steve Borden, TDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Region I manager, talking with him weekly if not daily about road improvements around Knoxville Center mall to increase visibility and access. So Nick asked Haslam to be aware of a recent Della Volpe-sponsored resolution adopted by Knoxville City Council on the subject. He quickly received a form email saying Haslam appreciated the comment and it was being forwarded to TDOT. He then got a form letter from Steve Borden saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for your concern â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only people listening to me are NSA,â&#x20AC;? laughed Della Volpe.

Kentucky high school honors former Vol Marvin West
was a secondary choice, in reserve in case UK missed a primary recruiting target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Coach Mears visited our home, he said if I came to Tennessee as point guard, the Volunteers would lead the Southeastern Conference in scoring.â&#x20AC;? That did not match Mearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reputation for bouncing the ball and slowing the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took him at his word and it happened. We led the SEC, 1972-75.â&#x20AC;? Bernard King and Ernie Grunfeld were factors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They teased me about wanting to carry my books to class. They wanted the basketball and I had it.â&#x20AC;? Woods, King and Grunfeld were big in what many think was the greatest basketball game ever at Tennessee. The Volunteers defeated Kentucky, 103-98, on Feb. 15, 1975, overflow crowd going slightly wild at Stokely Center. Tennessee shot 56.8 percent, Kentucky only 54. Grunfeld scored 29, including four pressure free throws. King and Mike Jackson had 24 each. Doug Ashworth scored 12. King had 20 rebounds. Rodney Woods, Kentuckian running the Tennessee show, had 14 points and 10 assists. Woods was an extension of Mears, charged with seeing the whole picture, imple-
menting concepts, adjusting where necessary, always looking for the open man. Some said he could look at Mears and know exactly what the coach wanted. Former guard Bill Justus once said Mears was closer to Rodney Woods than any other Volunteer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach knew I wanted to be a coach,â&#x20AC;? said Woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gave me a lot of extra time, explaining things in detail, explaining why he did certain things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long after he finished coaching, he would come to our games and observe very closely. I remember him telling me that we were giving up too many points at the end of periods, that if we had the ball late, we should never finish worse than we were. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ray Mears made a wonderful difference in my life.â&#x20AC;? So has Woods affected others. He doubles as athletic director at his school. He serves on the state basketball advisory committee. He may be Monticelloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous citizen. Mayor Jeffrey Edwards says Woods is a great asset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Woods is about more than just wins on the court, although he has plenty of them. He is about getting the most out of his players and preparing them for the future and also helping to bring a community together in the process.â&#x20AC;? Bernard Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 for 30â&#x20AC;? show put Woods back near the spotlight. There was a lot of town talk. In some places, being on TV is still a big deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some may not have known I played basketball.â&#x20AC;? Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Nothing like this has ever happened before. A high school in Kentucky will name the basketball court and gymnasium for a former Tennessee guard. OK, there is more to the story: Rodney Woods was a shooting star at Lone Jack High in Fourmile, Ky., before he ran the floor for Ray Mearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Volunteers. He was a coach-in-waiting while in college and has followed that dream for 38 high school seasons, at Powell Valley, Corbin and for 28 years at Wayne County High in Monticello. He will be honored there on Jan. 4. Clinton High will go north to help with the celebration. Condredge Holloway and Los Angeles Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt, former baseball teammates with Woods at UT, are on the guest list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is special,â&#x20AC;? said Woods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally put your name on a building until you are dead.â&#x20AC;? Woods, 61, is going strong. His career record is 770-375 and he has another fine team. A son, Landry, is a key player. An older son, Peyton, was in a previous group. The Woods boys, including younger Riley, may never be quite as good as their dad. Rodney had the best ever season at Lone Jack long before the three-point line. His 1,001 points remain 17th in the Kentucky high school record book. He is still fourth all-time with 416 field goals. The University of Kentucky showed interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Joe B. Hall came to see me twice.â&#x20AC;? Rodney concluded he

Teams seek to rebound By Libby Morgan Union County Patriot teams took on powerhouses Fulton and Gatlinburg-Pittman last week. The strength of the opposing teams was too much to overcome. “The Fulton game was again a 2-3 possession game that just got away from us in the end. I have a lot of respect for coach (Jody) Wright and the way his teams play. He does a great job with those guys. They are going to be up top again in the district when it is all said and done. “We played well for 25 minutes, but had some mental breakdowns which really hurt us in the third quarter. Brady and Drew scored well and Landon Muncey did a good job on the boards,” says coach Shane Brown. “Gatlinburg is probably the best team that we have seen to this point in the season. We knew going in that ■
it was going to be a high scoring game. GP pulled away in the second quarter and we battled back but just couldn’t get over the hump. “The kids played hard the entire game and we had some good individual efforts, but at the end of the day, we are 0-3 in the district and that isn’t where we want to be.” Brady Nease led the Patriots with 32 points, Drew Fugate had 25, Jordan Oaks 13 and Landon Muncey 11. On the girls’ games, coach Roger Murphy said his team played very well in the 63-48 loss to Fulton. “We were down only four points in the third quarter, and then lost to rebounds by Fulton. Against G-P, we went down early then cut the spread to 10 with four minutes to go. The game ended with GP 17 points ahead with a 62-45 final score.”
Disney tourney next week
The Patriot girls’ basketball team will travel to Orlando for a tournament at DisneyWorld during Christmas break. Coach Murphy says he really appreciates the sponsors who are making the trip possible.
Union County High School Athletes of the Week Basketball players Drew Fugate and Sabrina Boggs are the Union County High Athletes of the Week. Fugate, a junior, is a point guard for the Patriots and says, “We’ve competed well all season, and we’ve had a chance to win in every game. We should start surprising people.” He is the son of Mark and Missy Fugate. Boggs is a freshman and plays wing. “I love playing basketball. Coach (Roger) Murphy is a
Sabrina Boggs Drew Fugate good coach and he’s crazy – in a good way,” she says. She is the daughter of Vivian Kitts and Jason Boggs.

500 packs of
Christmas cheer By Libby Morgan Union County’s head Christmas elf, Gina Buckner, looked a little worn out but happy Monday. She and many, many helper elves had finished up months Gina Buckner of effort the previous Saturday to provide almost 500 children with their Christmas wishes. Just before distribution of the gifts on the Big Day, Gina gathered her family of volunteers for a few minutes of thanks and prayers. “I can’t thank you all enough. This is like when Jesus fed the masses with loaves and fishes. Everyone across the county makes this happen. This is wonderful,” she said. Buckner asked the Shopper to help her thank some of the businesses who gave money and helped spread the word through the wish lists on Christmas trees. They are: Food City, City of Maynardville, Union County Shriners, Beverage Solutions, Clayton’s, Pete’s Place, Volunteer Highway Markings, Union County Motors, Union County Chiropractic, Okie’s Pharmacy, FCE Council, American Business Equipments, Dol-
lar General, Union Discount Pharmacy, Union County Animal Hospital, Bi-County Propane, Janet’s Hair and Tan, Tolliver’s Market, Union County High School, Union County Arts and every bank and credit union in the county. Buckner explained to the group that the Union County Children’s Charities is not allowed to use the names “Toys for Tots” and “Angel Tree” and asks the community for suggestions of names for the project.

Chiropractic care and your general well-being Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Chiropractic care is sometimes pigeonholed as a form of treatment for a particular ache or larger condition. Back pain is perhaps the number one ailment people associate with chiropractic treatment. The truth is that regular chiropractic care should be an integral part of a person’s overall health routine, just like regular visits to a physician and dentist. Among the special skills of a chiropractor is his or her knowledge of and ability to treat the
spine. Keeping the spine healthy, its vertebrae–the individual bones that comprise the spine–in proper alignment, is one of the keys to overall health. A chiropractor, like any health care provider, will develop a relationship with a patient that integrate chiropractic are into the specific needs of the patient. Chiropractors also know when to collaborate with another health-care professional, and when it’s appropriate to refer a patient to another health-
care provider. Chiropractors subscribe to the definition of health set forth by the world Health Organization, that health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Talk with a chiropractor to see how regular treatment might contribute to your complete well-being.
