Summer Beeler has one last dozen of her fresh eggs left to sell at the Union County Farmers Market.

By Cindy Taylor Wilson Park was the place to be May 7. And what a beautiful day it was. The Union County Farmers Market kicked off the 2016 season with bright sunshine and a grand opening in the park. Locally-produced items and locally-grown produce were offered by established vendors and newcomers to the market. Items available included an assortment of green produce, annuals and perennials, vegetable plants, herbs and fresh cut flowers. Eggs and Grainger County tomatoes made the day. Handmade crafts included soaps, candles, salves and balms and even Peacock feathers. Cheddar Holler in Halls, a newcomer to the market, was this week’s featured business.

At issue is funding from the county’s hotel/motel tax, which must be spent on tourism. Until the most recent fiscal year, those funds have been given to the Chamber to spend. Now, the Commission’s budget committee is taking no action on the Chamber’s request for tourism funds. Chamber board chair Justin Noah read from a prepared statement, citing time-sensitive Union County tourism advertising initiatives that will not take place without hotel/motel tax funding. “Over $50,000 (in hotel/motel tax) has been levied on tourism businesses in Union County that has not been spent on tourism,� said Noah, who manages Hickory Star Marina. “For the past eight months, there has been no releasing of funds.� Noah named members of the Chamber’s volunteer board and listed Chamber initiatives, including placing Civil War markers and signage at Big Ridge State Park, recruiting businesses and mailing information to those who request it. The Chamber recently hosted a Meet and Greet for local businesses at the UT Extension office to showcase Farmers Market vendors and coordinated a grand

He also mentioned that all mayors in Union County have a vote on the Chamber’s board of directors. “We don’t have all the answers, and we never claimed to,â€? said Noah. We are all working toward the same goal, but we do believe that the inaction of the commission has set us back.â€? Commissioner Kenny Hill made a motion to table discussion of Chamber funding for one year. The motion died for lack of a second. Williams then leaned across the judge’s bench and shook an admonitory finger at Noah. “I’ve sat and listened to you,â€? he said. “I’ve been in this chair for six years, Mr. Noah. (The commissioners) would not have you here if they did not feel totally disrespected by you. ‌ “This has been brewing for years.

Rosen has ‘broken heart’ for homeless By Shannon Carey

Mayor, Chamber

From page 1

Turner is interim property assessor The commission voted unanimously to appoint Randy Turner to fill the remaining term of Union County Property Assessor left open by the passing of Donna Jones. Turner is a current employee in the office and is on the ballot for the office in the August election.

Greene resigns Jim Greene resigned from his District 2 Commission seat via hand-delivered letter. Williams read the letter into the minutes during the May 9 meeting. County Attorney David Myers said that since Greene’s resignation came so close to a general election, the commission does not have to appoint an interim District 2 commissioner. The seat will be on the ballot in the August election. Randy Turner

Knox Area Rescue Ministries president Burt Rosen at first resisted God’s call to move from Florida to Knoxville to serve the homeless. Having lost his eldest son to homelessness, “I couldn’t go downstairs and look in the eyes of the people coming through the doors. Every one of them warped into Matthew.� But he came anyway, moving with his wife to Knoxville with only a bed and a kitchen table. He asked God why he was chosen to run Knoxville’s largest homeless shelter. “God said, ‘I needed someone with a broken heart,’� said Rosen. “You can’t do the work of helping broken people if you haven’t been broken yourself.� Rosen spoke to the Union County Business and Professional Association May 10, and he wore a pin that said “Prove Roger Wrong.� The pin, he said, refers to retired UT social work professor Dr.

Roger Nooe, whose research suggests that it takes an average of three attempts for a person to finally get out of homelessness. Proving Roger wrong means that KARM is trying to cut out the failed attempts. “We use the formula rescue plus relationships equals restoration,� said Rosen. “That is the same formula God uses in our salvation.� On a slow day, KARM feeds and houses 400 men, women and children, serving 750 meals. On a busy day, the need grows to more than 500 people and 1,500 to 1,600 meals served. Rosen said KARM’s work reaches into Union County and other counties around Knoxville. Even Sevier County doesn’t have a homeless shelter, opting instead to give those in need one-night hotel vouchers. “On any given night, we probably have 10 percent of our population from Union County or the other outlying counties,� he said.

Thirty percent of the homeless people served at KARM are veterans, 40 percent have substance abuse issues, and 40 percent have a mental health diagnosis. Some fit all three of these categories. Good, new clothing, especially socks, T-shirts and underwear, are needed at KARM. UCBPA member Marvin Jeffreys offered to collect donations and deliver them to the shelter.

Scholarships Marilyn Toppins said the UCBPA scholarship recipients have been selected and will be announced at Senior Awards Day May 18. All are from Union County High School. The scholarships include $3,125 for the Jeffreys Memorial Scholarship, $1,000 for career and technical and a $500 service scholarship. The UCBPA Scholarship Golf Classic will be held May 21, and Toppins said this year may be a record

Eight new markers stand in recognition of fallen veterans.

Chiropractic and headaches Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Headaches can be brought on by any number of factors, including environmental triggers like loud persistent noise or glaringly bright lights. One of the leading causes of headache is tension in the muscles of the neck. And in this challenge-fraught economy, who among us doesn’t experience tension in everyday life? This is where chiropractic treatment comes in. Spinal manipulation, the primary art of the chiropractor, has been proven effective in easing the discomfort of the socalled tension headache. In a landmark study in 2001, researchers at Duke University found that spinal manipulation created an almost immediate improvement in headaches that originated in the neck. The study also found that chiropractic treatment

caused fewer side effects and gave longer-lasting relief than a medication commonly prescribed in such situations. In addition to environmental triggers mentioned above, a small percentage of headaches can also be a symptom of some other physical problem. One way to avoid the tension headache is to stretch every 30 minutes or so if your job or lifestyle generally keeps you in a sedentary mode for long periods. Move your head and neck through a comfortable range of motion. Talk with your chiropractor if you are prone to frequent or occasional headaches. Presented as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, Tenn. 992-7000.

Jennifer Massengill and Ray Kitts of the Bob Temple North Side Y in Halls coordinate the race each year in partnership with the Union County Chamber and Big Ridge State Park.

A young man was driving his mother and an elderly lady friend to Sunday dinner. The young man and his mother had known her for many years. The elderly lady mentioned in conversation that she “got ashamed of the old man.� The young man asked, “What old man?� The elderly lady replied, “My husband.� Interestingly enough, both the young man and his mother thought their elderly lady friend of long standing was a widow and that her husband had been dead for a long time. The elderly lady explained that she and her husband had early marital difficulty that resulted in his leaving their home, although they never divorced. Now in their waning years, after many years of wanton wandering, he had returned to the locale, though not the house, of his estranged wife. Sometimes it is easy to

Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME assume that we know so much about the people we have known the longest and those to whom we feel closest. And then there are our expectations, which sometimes are disappointingly unfulfilled. Consider a group of friends who went to a restaurant (now out of business) for lunch. One friend was still employed and the others were retired and living on fi xed incomes. As all had dined there many times before, they reasonably expected to receive the same good quality of service as in previous experiences.

4 • MAY 18, 2016 • UNION COUNTY Shopper news Unfortunately, a new server waited on them on their final visit. It took several attempts to get each food order correct. While the group was waiting with ever increasing impatience for their food, a loud crash was heard, causing one member of the group to solemnly exclaim, “They’re bustin’ ever dish in here!â€? Then, it took at least three attempts to get each person’s bill correct. The bill for the only actively employed member of the group decreased with each new bill, while the bill for the most elderly retired member of the group rose with each “correction.â€? On the third error, the eldest retired lady exclaimed, “God! I’m going to have to get a job!â€? And there are times we assume that people know how to behave in public and expect them to act accordingly. Not always so. A gentleman’s maternal aunt passed away. After the funeral he took his mother and two surviving aunts to a nice buffet for dinner. Like Eve in the Garden of Eden (who not only ate but gave to her husband, who likewise did eat), the gentle-

man’s aunts not only gorged themselves on the fine food, they filled their more than adequately sized purses with enough food for their husbands (who were not present) to also eat.

There are occasions when expectations are pleasantly not met. Though he expected it, the gentleman’s aunts were not caught by restaurant staff and there was no public disgrace; however, as

you might expect, he never, ever took his aunts to eat in public again! Next week I’ll discuss the educational phenomena known as “The Self Fulfilling Prophecy.�

Friends of Walter The Walter Chadwick story goes on and on and actually gets better with age. With just a little help, it could be a movie. The former Tennessee tailback celebrated his70th birthday in Decatur, Ga., surrounded by “Friends of Walter,� a side story almost as good as the main event. Chadwick did not receive a great stack of gifts. He doesn’t need more dust collectors. He did get what he wanted, a cluster of orange and white balloons for the annual launch. Walter always thinks his two will make it to the moon. And why not? Walter keeps defying unbelievable odds just to be part of the party. The Walter Chadwick story almost ended on a drippy spring afternoon 45 years ago. He was making deliveries for his mom’s gift shop. He stopped at a traffic light. A Wells Fargo truck hustling in the opposite direction slid across the center line and smashed into his VW beetle. “They gave me the last rites,� Chadwick is fond of saying, “but I fooled ’em!� Barely. His body was broken and he suffered irreparable brain damage. He survived in intensive care for 15 days and was in a coma for most of four months. He spent two years in rehab. His marriage dissolved. He lost touch with his two young sons. He lost almost everything but, somehow, maintained his faith, a sense of humor and a few precious memories of football. The fun part was 1965-67. He started for Doug Dickey’s

Marvin West

Volunteers. Walter’s favorite play (and one of mine) happened his senior season versus Alabama. It looked like a power sweep. Linebacker and halfback came roaring up. Tight end Austin Denney slipped behind them. Walter didn’t deliver a perfect spiral. He shot-putted the ball for a touchdown. In response to my deliberately prickly question about passing form, Chad said, “It counted six!� Chadwick was drafted by Green Bay. He had another tryout with Atlanta. He played one season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He was a high school coach for two weeks preceding the crash. Former Vol Elliott Gammage became Walter’s first best friend during rehabilitation. Former Vol Steve Kiner was next to help when Gammage moved back to Tennessee. “Walter had a townhouse and was trying to hang in there,� said Kiner. “It was heartbreaking. He wasn’t doing his physical therapy. He needed a job with some dignity. I had to do something.� Kiner, with advanced degrees in clinical psychology and counseling, was prominent with Emory Healthcare. Eventually, a rehab nursing director realized Walter might help her patients. He became inspi-

ration coach. He greeted everybody with a twisted smile and “Hey, Slick.� Patients who had not talked for weeks responded. Some laughed. The decades have not been easy for Walter Chadwick. The time came when there were no more jobs. He even had to give up his bicycle and joyous treasure hunts for aluminum cans along roadways. It may have been Kiner’s idea to assemble “Friends of Walter.� A UT grad in the Atlanta area, Ellen Morrison, her husband Philip, Marilyn Elrod, Jim Lawson and Frank Weldon became the core support group. Through the years, many others, former Vols and former coach Bill Battle, have helped. Ellen has arranged or provided many outings. Walter and a luncheon group meet each week.

Core values remain at First Baptist By Cindy Taylor First Baptist Church is an icon on Main Street in downtown Maynardville. As well it should be. The church has a rich history connected to the city. Originally organized in 1842 out of Cedar Ford United Baptist Church, Liberty Baptist Church claimed its name from the town then known as Liberty. When Liberty became the county seat and was renamed Maynardville, the church followed suit to become First Baptist Church, Maynardville. Famed musician and Maynardville native Roy Acuff grew up in the church and remained a member until his death in 1992. His father, the Rev. Neil Acuff, served as pastor in the early 1900s. Many of the last names listed in the first charter and on roll in the early church are still prevalent in Union County today. The church has erected three buildings. The current structure was established in 1947 with an addition in 1996. A pastor’s home was constructed on the site in 1971. Today the church has more than 375 members. The Rev. Phillip King has served as pastor since 2000. “Our youth program continues to grow thanks to dedicated leaders in our church. It is a team effort,� said King. “One hundred percent of our Mother’s Day offering goes to the Tennessee Baptist Children’s Home.� David Myers is a lifetime member of the church and Ann Phillips Richardson joined as a young girl more than 60 years ago. Both recall good times with other church members and celebrating together as family through the years. They

say the church continues to grow in local ministry and outreach. “We have a strong WMU,� said Richardson. “Right now we are collecting purses filled with personal hygiene items to send to those who have been rescued from human trafficking.� Both Richardson and Myers say the balcony, that was mostly empty early in their lives, is now often filled with young people. “Statistics show that a church changes every 14

years,� said Myers. “We have a lot of young families coming into the church these days.� Through its backpack ministry, the church distributed more than 350 backpacks to Union County students at the beginning of the 2015 school year. The church consistently ministers to the community through Random Acts of Christian Kindness and in many other ways. Children in the community are invited to attend

VBS from 6:45-9 p.m. June 5-9 at the church. Next year the church will celebrate its 175th anniversary. While the church may have changed through the years, Phillips, Myers and Richardson agree that the core values and theme from Psalm 122:1 remain the same. “I was glad when they said unto me; let us go into the house of the Lord.� First Baptist Church is at 730 Main Street in Maynardville.

Chapel of the Good Shepherd is official

It was a pilgrimage of sorts for us. My brother and I have at least two ancestors who fought in the American Revolution at the Battle of King’s Mountain. We wanted to stand on that hallowed ground and breathe in the air of history. The mountain itself is sort of a surprise. It is a 60foot peak that is freakishly steep, jutting up starkly from the gentle farmlands below. As we walked the trail, I kept trying to imagine these now-quiet woodlands filled with musket-fire, barked orders, cries of pain and shouts of encouragement. I could picture the redcoats, sure of themselves in their spiffy uniforms, going up against the buckskin-clad mountaineer riflemen. Historian Bart McDowell describes the scene: “The battle began about 3 p.m. Major Ferguson attacked with bayonet charges and volleys from the British muskets. The mountain men just stepped behind trees and took deadly aim with their long rifles.� Ferguson’s body rests in King’s Mountain near a giant poplar that may have survived the same battle. Every loyalist in the fight was killed, wounded, or captured – about 1,000. The patriots lost only 28 killed. Cornwallis was startled by his defeat at the hands of these un-trained American back-woodsmen. And the over-mountain men got more than vengeance. They bought America time. The patriots rebuilt their army, hoping they would have enough time to save the South. I have stood at Arlington, looking out over rows and rows of white gravestones. I have walked the battlefields at Gettysburg (the only place I ever saw a real ghost). And I have knelt on the ground at Normandy. King’s Mountain stands among them, as hallowed ground.

seniors John Longmire our association and Lions around the world. Lions Clubs became international in 1920 by chartering a club in Windsor, Canada. In 1925 during the international convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, Helen Keller charged Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.� On April 6, 1949, a group of 39 civic-minded men from the Inskip community formed the Lions Club of Inskip. The club was sponsored by neighboring Fountain City Lions Club. From the very beginning, these men had the well-being of the community at heart. In 1953, a major project of the club was to build a building next to the school to house a library to be used by the school and the community. This building was later used as the Inskip branch of Lawson McGhee Library. This building was in continuous use until the branch was closed by the county. The building was then given to the Inskip Lions Club and is now rented in the community as a service and as a fundraiser for the club. In 1958, the Club undertook the huge task

From page 4 of building a community swimming pool. The pool was officially opened on July 17, 1959, and was in operation until sold to the city of Knoxville in July 1975. During these years, the money realized from the operation of the pool was used in the community mostly to help people with vision problems in paying for exams and glasses. Other needs were also met as presented. A member of the Inskip Lions Club would normally spend 20 or more hours each year working on community service projects and performing administrative duties for the club. Since the club is an organization of volunteers, the level of effort and participation will vary widely due to the interests, work schedules and personal time demands of the members. On May 11, the Lions Club of Inskip recognized five fifth graders at Inskip Elementary School for their leadership skills and academic achievements. The community supports this event and attendance is extraordinary for a small community. Info: contact any member or call 687-3842.
