Paulette gets pumped up for hearts By Shannon Carey
Paulette Elementary School teacher Nicole Shoffner said kids at the school get pumped up for the annual American Heart Association fundraiser. Started five years ago in honor of Shoffner’s daughter, the fundraiser is student-led. Kids bring money in honor of their grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, or even their classmates. Shoffner said several PES students have experienced heart surgeries. “A kindergartener brought his piggy bank and donated $22 in change,� Shoffner said. “Students bring in their tooth fairy money. Just sweet, sweet, sweet stuff.� This year, the fundraiser gathered $6,400, bringing the fiveyear total to more than $20,000. The 2016 donation will be made in honor of Glenna Beeler, a Union County High School cheerleading coach who passed away in late 2015. The UCHS cheerleading team contributed $500 of the total donation from T-shirt sales. UCHS cheerleaders were present for the March 10 celebration, as were Mrs. Beeler’s family and friends. “We should all strive to have Glenna’s heart so we can leave a beautiful legacy, just like she has,� Rappers M-Cat and J-Dog, also known as Paulette Elementary School assistant principal Missy Fugate and principal said friend and co-worker Julia Jason Bailey, perform “Who Let the Dogs Out?� during the school’s American Heart Association fundraiser celebraGibbs. tion.

‘For a good time ‌’ By Bonnie Peters Many of you may not know there is a chapter of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors that meets bi-monthly at Bradbury Community Center at Kingston. Now you know! For many years the group met at the old Ramsey’s Cafeteria near UT. Several members are nationally and perhaps internationally known for their knowledge and expertise in building and repairing timepieces. In February we were thrilled to have William “Billâ€? Smith, 94, present a program on Morse code. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from UT Knoxville. He is a Fellow in the British Horological Institute and a Silver Star Fellow in the National
Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC). In addition, he holds multiple qualifications from the American Watchmaker-Clockmaker Institute. He is also an avid radio amateur (W4PAL). He was awarded the Legion of Merit by Gen. Douglas MacArthur for aircraft instrument work that put grounded New Guinea fighter planes back into the air quickly during WWII. He received the NAWCC 2012 Dana J. Blackwell Clock Award and received the Metalworking Craftsman of the Year 2000 Award by the Joe Martin Foundation for exceptional Craftsmanship. Smith’s talk was informative and entertaining from start to finish. To get our attention and in jest, Bill began by singing the first

The collection is large and boasts a very wide range of found objects and recyclable materials. For example, one book involves the use of rebar, pulleys, bells, and a message on cloth which unfolds when someone pulls one of the bells downward. Another example is a “rescued” book which was falling apart, but now features artfully torn back layers of its pages and a wire tornado-like structure coming out of the book as well as
a wire person struggling to escape the book as well. How about an aluminum can from an uncommon brand of tomatoes with a book made of cut out and connected paper tomato slices?

Standing out Sharps Chapel resident Jason Earley says he has loved music since he was a young kid. He was first inspired to play guitar after seeing Clay Walker on television and he wrote his first song while still in elementary school.
Cindy Taylor Earley. Photo submitted
Earley released three albums when he was a student at Union County High School and is currently writing and playing music in Nashville. He says making it there isn’t easy. “Finding a way to stand out in the crowd of folks trying to make it in the music industry is challenging. There are so many people here trying to succeed.� He has interned at Ed Cash Studios and plans to seek other opportunities in that area. His hope is that job prospects will come along through the internships. Keeping up keeps him busy. “I write music every day and perform in various
writer rounds in Nashville.� Earley has been chosen as one of the top eight songwriters in the Recording Academy’s GrammyU Songwriter Showdown, has been selected to represent Belmont in Brooklyn, New York at Communion Music Publishing and has written songs with other professional writers and military veterans for Operation Song, an organization that offers an outlet of therapy through songwriting for veterans. The Belmont junior branched out even more a few years ago. He appeared in the music video “What if� by Five for Fighting and earned a walk on role in the television series Necessary
Roughness in 2013. While his musical interests still hold Earley continues to earn roles in video projects. Earley will have his first speaking part in film as Trey Morgan in the upcoming movie “Where the Fast Lane Ends.� The movie also stars Christopher Knight of Brady Bunch fame, Mac Davis and Scott Reeves. “Where the Fast Lane Ends� is currently in production and set to release this year. At Belmont, Earley is working toward a major in songwriting and a minor in music business. His
goal is to be a professional songwriter in Nashville for country music and Christian worship music. While his professional and educational life are exciting, Earley says it all pales in comparison to his faith. “My faith in the Lord is more important to me than songwriting, acting or school. Without Christ I am nothing. He is the reason I do what I do.� Find Jason Earley on Twitter, Facebook and SoundCloud. Contact Cindy Taylor at ctaylorsn@gmail. com

Social butterfly at 92 By Cindy Taylor What’s better than a birthday celebration with cake and ice cream?

Lady, a North Knoxville native and current Powell resident, doesn’t look her age of 92 years. The more than 60 people who attended her birthday party say she doesn’t act it either. Granddaughter Sara Fletcher organized the event. She and other family members flew in from Texas, Kansas, Nashville and New Mexico. Surprise guests included Lady’s son Don and grandson Brad. “It was the first time my grandmother met my 19-month-old son Will, her great-grandson� said Fletcher. “He is named after my grandfather William Lady who served in WWII.� “My grandmother is an extraordinary woman who has always been a pillar of strength in our family and in her community,� said Fletcher. “She has touched a lot of lives in her 92 years.� Fletcher holds dear memories of visiting Lady every summer as a child. She says a trip to Tennessee was not complete without feeding the ducks at Fountain City Lake and a trip to the mountains with her grandparents. Lady is a past manager of Inskip Pool and was a Red

Women are winning
First and foremost There are many quotations attributed to various individuals that reference a phrase that has almost become a clichĂŠ, “Know thyself.â€? When I enrolled in college, I knew myself well enough to understand that if I didn’t register for early classes I would waste a lot of valuable time sleeping late.
Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME The first college class I attended at Lincoln Memorial University Fall Quarter 1983 was History 101 – Survey of American History. The class met from 8 to 8:50 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in DAR Hall’s lecture room. The room was furnished with what even then were probably antique wooden desks situated on a series of risers that ascended toward the back of the room, so that the heads of those seated on the back row almost touched the ceiling. The dark finish of the desks matched the brown carpet, all made darker by the invisible coat of soot emanating from the basement furnace room. At the front of the room was a 4-by-8-foot green blackboard with an aluminum frame. Directly in front of this was a cheap, folding card table. Each morning at approximately 7:50 my first college professor, Charles C. Blakeman, entered the classroom, always humming. Professor Blakeman, probably in his mid- to late sixties, was bald and wore glasses and usually a button-up sweater and khaki pants. He always placed the satchel he car-
ried under his arm on the card table and wrote his outline from memory on the board. At exactly 8 a.m. Professor Blakeman turned to the class and began his 50-minute lecture. He used no notes or books, and rarely looked at the outline. (He must have had a photographic memory.) Professor Blakeman would stay after class to discuss any question, but he did not entertain interruptions during his lectures. I had already developed a love of American history, but Professor Blakeman deepened my understanding and appreciation of the subject. He had a deep, melodious voice that was pure pleasure just to hear. Professor Blakeman gave three tests during the course. Studying for these tests was the only part of the class I found stressful. The tests only covered material presented since the last test, thankfully, and were a combination of matching, listing, short answer and essay questions. The easier the question, the less the point value assigned, so essay questions counted most. Some students did not bother to attend class except on test days. It was well known that Professor Blakeman had his history tutor conduct a test review shortly before each test, and all test questions and answers (plus a few extra) were given at the review. The reviews were always better attended than any regular class. Facilities at LMU have improved dramatically in the past 33 years, and I know by experience the present history faculty is outstanding, but there has never been a greater history professor anywhere than Charles C. Blakeman. Next I will tell about another lively and likeable LMU history professor.

Women are winning. It is not even close, as in no contest. Women have the undivided attention of the University of Tennessee athletics department. Behind the walls, the immediate goal is no more controversy. Enough already. Maybe you noticed how the AD tiptoed around the new Athletics Hall of Fame by precisely equalizing the number of men and women to be honored. Simple system. Just leave out A.W. Davis and Heath Shuler and a few dozen other stars. The hall is part of the One Tennessee merger of men’s and women’s sports. Generally speaking, the women did not appreciate the watering down of their identity. There had been a Lady Volunteers hall of fame since the turn of the century. The women’s hall of fame was always politically correct. It inducted former UT president Edward J. Boling in the inaugural class. Soon thereafter selectors saluted Dr. Joe Johnson and Dr. Howard Aldmon. Dave Hart is not a hall of famer. It isn’t because the women don’t like him.
Marvin West
It’s because he is still here. Eligibility didn’t begin until five years after departure. How strange it is that the combined hall has equal numbers. Volunteer football men were grinding out full seasons, one without permitting a point, when college women were still restricted to “play days.� Indeed, there was a time when competitive sports were thought to be entirely too rigorous for the fairer sex. No sweat. No bruises. Heaven help us, they can’t be crashing into each other. It is mostly a secret but UT women dabbled with basketball in 1903. They lost both games. The opener was a 10-1 setback at the hands of Maryville College. There was a time when I knew who scored that one point. There were worse embarrassments. Tennessee lost four years in a row to Farragut School of Concord.
There was a humbling defeat at the hands of Central High of Fountain City (before annexation). University women finally won a game in 1910, abandoned basketball for a decade, tried it again for a few years and surrendered to nationwide hostility toward women’s sports. Victorian notions of docile femininity forced some great athletes into cheerleading, badminton and croquet. Line dancing came later. Sports for UT women were reborn quietly in 1958. A volleyball team appeared. Few noticed. Basketball resumed in 1960 but they didn’t even keep records. Ann Baker stirred some excitement in 1964. She was a really good golfer – on the men’s team. She was also a really good student, first recipient of a Robert R. Neyland Academic Scholarship. Overall, there was calm or disinterest. In a year’s worth of Daily Beacons, campus newspaper, 196768, there were just two mentions of women’s athletic contests. U.S. Reps. Patsy T. Mink of Hawaii and Edith S. Green of Oregon kindled the

Oral histories help shape the future of design By Wendy Smith
Gideon Fryer remembered that the Market House on Market Square smelled of “overripe fish,� and that vendors sold all kinds of meat, including fresh rabbit, and anything else that the land produced. His oral recollections, recorded not long before he died in 2014, are preserved at knoxhistories.org. The website was put together by Liz Teston, UT assistant professor of interior design, with the help of a Community Engagement Incentive Grant she received last year from the university. It includes 16 oral histories collected from seniors who have memories of visiting the Market House. Teston and her student research assistants continue to add interviews, which are available as recordings or documents. The goal is to create a repository of stories that will allow students, and the public, to see how Knoxville’s history created a foundation for today’s built environment. The website also has a map that shows the 1917 layout of the city and current photos that illustrate history’s impact on

Market Square. Good design considers both space and place, Teston says. Space is the geometr ic description of a building, but place is how it feels and Liz Teston looks. Oral histories help define “place.� The most noticeable thing about the recordings is that they’re highly personal. Fryer, who is well known in Knoxville for helping establish UT’s College of Social Work and co-founding the East Tennessee Community Design Center, among other things, is forthright about his freshman fraternity antics. It’s easy for the listener to imagine they’re in the room while he tells his stories. The oral histories aren’t

and design culture. Teston was born in Knoxville, but grew up in Atlanta. When she moved to Knoxville, she became aware of “hidden urban connections� that only locals know about, like buildings that no longer exist. The Market House is one of those. When she saw the building’s bell on Market Square, she felt the void. “I wanted to understand the experience of the Market House, the experience of the built environment.� Now, through the memories of others, everyone can see the sights, and smell the smells, of the Market House. Many of the oral histories were recorded at local assisted living facilities, and Teston wants a more diverse perspective. She’d like to record people of different backgrounds, including children of vendors and African Americans. Info: eteston@utk.org
intended to preserve facts, but to help listeners understand the nuances of history. Many memories of the Market House, which existed in some form from 1854 to 1959, are hazy now, but they still convey the experience of place, says Teston. Common recollections include the smell of fish, the dark interior and ham sandwiches sold with homemade mayonnaise. Collected memories can help designers understand the identity of a site and the social impact of an area. “A building doesn’t need to look historic to be ‘of the place,’� she says. She uses UT’s Art and Architecture Building, designed by Bruce McCarty, as an example. It looks completely different from other buildings on campus, but is still “of the place� because it reflects McCarty with the way it incorporates light

fire. They co-authored legislation that became Title IX, an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. President Richard Nixon signed it into law on June 23, 1972. The noble intent was to end gender discrimination in federally funded educational venues. College women seized the athletic opportunity and ran with it. In 1976, UT christened the women’s athletic department and set aside money for scholarships. You are aware of what happened after that? Football paid the bill. Summitt is the significant history of UT women’s athletics – 38 years as basketball coach, 1,098 victories, eight national titles, Presidential Medal of Freedom, plaza and statue, name on the floor. Even without Summitt, UT women go right on winning, no matter the sport or score. Petitions are deadly. Re-branding became a blunder and a mismatch. The logo compromise was a forfeit. The new hall of fame is a walk on egg shells. In less than half the time, women have achieved equal representation. Hail to the champions.

Generating excitement By Cindy Taylor The Rev. Dr. Hollie Miller will bring the message at the 2016 Midland-Northern Evangelism Conference, set for 6 p.m. Sunday, March 20, at Clear Springs Baptist Church, 8518 Thompson School Road. The Rev. Michael Viles is the director of missions for MidlandNorthern Association. “We were hoping that the new Clear Springs building would be ready in time for the conference but that isn’t going to happen,� said Viles. Dr. Miller is fast approaching 30 years as senior pastor at Sevier Heights Baptist Church. He accepted the call to preach at age 25 and has since earned Doctor of Ministry and Master
for the Midland-Northern Association. Viles said he and Vittatoe spend time in prayer each year before the conference seeking God’s will for whom the speaker should be. He said Miller spoke last year and there were many requests to have him return for the 2016 conference. Viles says the conference objective is threefold. “This is a great opportunity for our pastors and church members in the asDr. Hollie Miller sociation to come together for worship and for fellowof Divinity degrees.

Savor the flavor of eating right By Becca Hughes National Nutrition Month 2016, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is encouraging everyone to “Savor the Flavor of Eating Right� by taking time Becca Hughes to enjoy food traditions and appreciate the pleasures, great flavors and social experiences food can add to your life. “Food nourishes your body and provides necessary fuel to help you thrive and fight disease,� says registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson Kristen Gradney. “Food is also a source of pleasure and enjoyment. ‘Savor the Flavor of Eating Right’ by taking time to enjoy healthy foods and all the happiness they bring to your life.� Food Traditions, Social Experiences: There is an obvious social component to food. Whether a nightly family dinner, special holiday occasion or social gathering, food often plays a central role. “Family meals promote healthy eating and strengthen family relationships,� Gradney says. “Prioritize and enjoy the food traditions that accompany any type of social gathering.� Appreciate Foods and Flavors: Take time to appreciate the flavors, textures and overall eating experience. In today’s busy world, we often eat quickly and mindlessly. Instead, try following this tip to help you savor the flavor of your food: Eat slowly.
“Eat one bite at a time, and focus on the different flavors and textures,� Gradney says. “Stop and take time between bites. Eating slowly not only allows you to enjoy your food, but it can also help you eat less by giving your stomach time to tell your brain that you are full.� Mindful Eating Pattern: How, when, why and where you eat are just as important as what you eat. Being a mindful eater can help you reset both your body and your mind and lead to an overall healthier lifestyle. “Think about where you eat the majority of your meals,� Gradney says. “Many eat lunch at their desks or dinner in front of the television. Take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to find a nice place to mindfully eat instead of multitasking through your meals.� Consult Dietitian, Nutritionist: “A healthy lifestyle is much more than choosing to eat more fruits and vegetables,� Gradney says. “It’s also essential to make informed food choices based on your individual nutrient needs. A registered dietitian can educate you and guide your food choices while keeping your tastes and preferences in mind. RDNs are able to separate facts from fads and translate nutritional science into information you can use.� Find an RDN at eatright. org Basic Healthy Cooking classes are being offered monthly at UT Extension Union County for more information, call 992-8038 or check out Facebook-UT Extension Union County.

many have come to the Lord during past gatherings. As the largest facility in the association, Clear Springs has hosted the conference since its beginning in 2006. The Midland-Northern Association ranges from Blount to Hancock counties. More than 15 churches are usually represented and more than 500 guests are expected to attend this year’s event. Viles says the conference has grown through the years and is always a great opportunity to worship with other believers and non-believers alike. The community is invited to share this special time of worship. “We need to be brighter and bolder witnesses for Christ. This conference always generates excitement for sharing our faith.�

And I, when I am lifted up ‌, will draw all people to myself. He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die. (John 12: 32-33 NRSV) There is a painting of Jesus that hangs in the chancel of the church where I worship. The text quoted above is printed underneath it. I don’t know who painted it, my research online notwithstanding. There are some six thousand paintings of Christ available on line, and frankly I gave up the search after looking at about 600. I have worshipped in that church for almost three years, but it was only last Sunday that I read that quote with new understanding. I have understood it literally, in reference to Jesus’ being lifted up on the cross, which is not incorrect. John, the Gospel writer, certainly understood it that way, being the only disciple with courage enough to be present at the crucifi xion. Now I think that perhaps Jesus intended it with a double meaning as well. Because last Sunday, I read it again, and thought with utter surprise and con-

viction, “That’s our job! We should be lifting up Jesus to the whole world! If we don’t let people know about Jesus and what He means to us – not only with words but by our actions as well – we have failed as disciples. I don’t mean we need to tackle strangers on the sidewalk and convert them on the spot. But we should not be afraid to speak His name, either; we should not hesitate to lift Him up, to say what He means to us, when given the opportunity. I am reminded of the famous motto of Boys Town, USA: “He ain’t heavy; he’s my brother!� Because to a Christian, “He ain’t heavy; He’s my savior!�

Some facts about chiropractic Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC If you are new to chiropractic treatment or are considering it for the first time, here are some facts you should know. A chiropractor is a graduate of an accredited chiropractic college and has had extensive training, both academic and practical. Though the hallmark of chiropractic treatment is spinal adjustment, a manipulation of the individual bones of the spine, the chiropractor also has an array of other techniques at his or her disposal. Ultrasound is one of them. Ultrasound uses warming, high-frequency sound waves to treat injury to soft tissue. Chiropractors are also able to dispense advice about nutrition and other lifestyle issues that can help you address a particular problem, or just keep your body running smoothly. A typical chiropractic
adjustment will take from 10 to 30 minutes. An initial exam, though, will take longer because the chiropractor, like any health care professional, is going to collect information about your general health and medical history and give you a thorough exam to establish a baseline for future treatment. The initial exam will most likely include measuring your legs. A slight difference in leg length is not uncommon and can cause back problems. A little soreness after chiropractic treatment is not unusual, just as you’d experience after a good workout. Visit a chiropractor if you have any questions about the value of chiropractic treatment. Presented as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, Tenn. 992-7000.
