By Libby Morgan “There’s no ‘I’ in ‘team.’”

“It’s a sight what you can accomplish when no one takes the credit.”

“A title doesn’t mean you’re over people, it means you’re under them.”

Johnny Merritt remembers these adages spoken by his late mother, Mabel June Merritt, when he explains his outlook on being elected Luttrell’s mayor for the third time.

“It’s humbling and overwhelming to be chosen by my friends to serve,” he says.

“Our city council and I are proud of what we have accomplished, and I’m looking forward to working with them again,” Merritt says of the returning five council members: Jody Smith, Brad Griffey, David Williams, Sidney

It’s fun to look at what could be. And for sure a town that plans its image will end up looking better than one that just happens.

“We’ve got to live within our means and be careful with the budget,” he says, “but we’ve been able to be proactive with providing services.”

Merritt cites the salt brine system now in place, which can treat Luttrell’s 26 “lane miles” when freezing conditions threaten travel.

“It’s our obligation to help people get to work.

With the steep curvy roads in Luttrell, pretreating the roads can make a big difference,” he says. “The system works.”

The city retrofitted a closed car wash to store the salt and bought an applicator during Merritt’s past terms.

With these statistics, Mowell got angry.

We’ve got a little while to decide what to do next. It’s exciting to be a part of Luttrell’s progress.”

Merritt says it’s not all fun and games, though.

“With all our hills, the sewer system can’t work on gravity, so there are a lot of working parts in there. They wear out, so we have to keep it maintained. We’ve retrofitted over 25 percent of it in less than six years,” he says. “It’s a constant cycle, but it is our single most important task.”

Luttrell may be eligible for a Community Development Block Grant, and Merritt hopes the grant will bring the city as much as a half million dollars.

“I want to thank the voters for putting their faith in me. I’m blessed to live with good neighbors,” says Merritt.

Leaving with heavy hearts

By Cindy Taylor We’ve cried, we’ve hugged and now we’ve said our final goodbyes to Lanelle and Jim Mulkey.

The nine years the couple and their family ministered in Union County seemed to pass in a heartbeat – but the goals they achieved and the results of their time here will last for decades and beyond.

Sitting with the couple in the Revival Vision Church office last week surrounded by boxes filled with memories and packed for the move, it was difficult to accept that it would be for the last time.

“Union County won’t be the same without them,” said church member Jared Graves. How right he is.

The Mulkeys are moving to North Carolina and Ward Station Church of God. They requested the move to be closer to family – but that doesn’t make

But Jim’s main concern wasn’t with number gathering or the size of a building. His vision was for the future and the people of Union County.

The family has played integral roles with iCare, Celebrate Recovery, weekly prayer at the courthouse, the annual Prayer March, jail ministry, prayer ministry for men and women, motorcycle ministry, serving at Willow Ridge and pulling churches in the community together for prayer. Jim also served as chaplain for the Sheriff’s Office and the Patriot football team.

“We love the people here,” said Lanelle. “We have been accepted as a part of the families in Union County.”

The couple have already transitioned away from their roles in Revival Vision and will pull out June 19 for North Carolina. Through their tears they say it has been a great honor and privilege to To page 3

Healthy Kids Day draws 300

By Libby Morgan In conjunction with the Art on Main event June 1, Healthy Kids Day was held at the Maynardville Community Center.

“It was a big success,” says Chantay Collins, director of the Maynardville Public Library. “We had over 300 kids and 20 booths, and we signed up 100 kids for our summer reading program.”

Children were given a paper with the names of the booths, and received coupons and prizes when they brought back the paper with stamps from each booth.

Neva Kitts worked the Union County Chamber table and gave out information and brochures as one of her AmeriCorps projects.

budget – those numbers don’t match!

“Those figures are especially important when you realize that there are no early detection tools and no effective treatments for pancreatic cancer.”

So Mowell went to Washington. She marched on the steps of Capitol Hill with other advocates and met with legislators.

“Because of the efforts of hundreds of advocates from around the U.S., we were able to get the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act pushed through Congress and signed into law by President Obama this January,” she says.

The Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act requires the

National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to develop a scientific framework for pancreatic cancer research.”

So this Father’s Day, June 1, Mowell and others will return to Washington for a national Call-in to Congress to urge them to save medical research that saves lives.

“This disease has had a devastating impact on my life, but with Congress’ help, we will be able to develop the tools and treatments so desperately needed to give hope to future generations,” she says.

Leaving with heavy hearts serve in Maynardville, and their hope is that they have left things better than they found them. Even though it is their choice, leaving is difficult because of their love for the church and community.

From page 1

“We left church last Sunday with a prayer from Joshua 1:9 to be strong and courageous,” said Jim. “Our prayer is that this church will continue to do even more than we have already accomplished.”

Leslie Fawaz, director of studio design for the Community Design Center in Knoxville, talks with resident Gwen Johnson while CDC manager David Watson looks on. Photos by S. Clark

Plans unveiled A new look for Maynardville It’s fun to look at what could be. And for sure a town that plans its image will end up looking better than one that just happens.

That’s the basis of the project unveiled last Tuesday at Maynardville town hall. Designer Leslie Fawaz presented photographs of the existing buildings in downtown Maynardville and a comprehensive design that would make the town more livable.

“It’s doable,” said city manager Jack Rhyne afterwards.

“It’s doable as long as we don’t try to do it all at once.”

Nobody wants to run out and raise taxes to implement the design. But having the

Sandra Clark plan will help guide future development. Fawaz left the drawings with Rhyne, and they’re available for viewing by anyone interested.

Most interesting was Fawaz’s proposal for two new buildings. (We will have drawings for next week’s Shopper.) She proposed façade changes for two more buildings, and lighting at both pedestrian- and traffic-level.

Mayor Smiley Richardson mostly smiled. He did advocate for new signs on Hwy. 33 that include a fiddle and the slogan: Cradle of Country Music. Chamber president Julie Graham said she’s got a grant proposal pending that could bring funds for the signs. And Smiley smiled some more.

Fawaz admitted that her design calls for fewer parking spaces than currently exist, but she questioned whether the current spaces are “to code.” Fawaz is not from around here.

All in all it was a fun meeting and everyone there seemed excited about the plan.

At one point, Rhyne called Maynardville “six miles long and a few yards wide.”

Fawaz’s plan encompassed the area bounded by Main Street and Hwy. 33 and Church and Academy streets.

Note: Last week’s column on school nurses must be amended. We spoke this week with Lincoln Memorial University’s Kate Reagan who said the university does not have a deal worked out with Union County Public Schools.

That was followed by a conversation with Director of Schools Jimmy Carter who concurred. “We had a grant proposal in (for that), but it wasn’t funded,” he said.

Carter and his administrative team continue to explore ways to fund a nurse for each school, but nothing has been settled.

The three terminated nurses are still fired.

‘We never avoided a fight’ The Burkhart community is located in Raccoon Valley on both sides of Highway 61 West, which now has roads (including Raccoon Valley Road) and lanes running on both sides of the road.

Bonnie Peters

The community might be defined as the area where Community Baptist Church is located and where an elementary school known as Burkhart Elementary School was located.

The community is named for the Peter Burkhart family, of which the most prominent member is Major Morgan T. Burkhart (1831-1902). Major Burkhart led the 1st Tennessee Cavalry, Union Army, in a number of battles and skirmishes during the Civil War. The reader can find more details about Major Burkhart’s service in “Union County: Faces of War.” The sword he carried and sash he wore have been passed down through the family. At my last account his great-granddaughter, Margaret Brent of Greeneville, Tenn., had them.

Major Burkhart married Mary Wilkerson (1834-1870) and they had six children: Mary Elizabeth Burkhart Mitchell, Jane Burkhart Ledgerwood, John Bell Burkhart, Margaret Burkhart, James Burkhart and Viola Burkhart Davis.

After Mary’s death, Major Burkhart married Mary Dyer and they had one daughter, Martha Burkhart Graves.

After the war, Major Burkhart served his community

as a church trustee, school clerk and election official.

On July 1, 1867, Major Burkhart was selected and appointed a judge of an election to be opened and held at Baylessville (southwest Union County) on the first Thursday, the first day of August 1867 for the election of a governor, a member of Congress and a member to the state Legislature.

He worked as a carpenter by trade and helped build the original one-room church on Raccoon Valley Road, which also served as Burkhart School. On Dec. 16, 1876, M. T. Burkhart, F. M. Hinds and J. H. Stanley were appointed trustees for the building of this church at Burkhart.

Major Burkhart was called on to make a Memorial Day Speech. We do not know the date. However, a large gathering of Civil War Veterans was held at the Union County Courthouse in the 1890s. This may have been the occasion of this speech: “Comrades, we have passed another year, and the time has come when we should honor our dead comrades by strewing flowers over their graves. We are glad today to be together, yet our gladness is sobered.

As I look into these familiar faces, I notice a deep sense of satisfaction, but I have not failed to observe that there are tears in many eyes.

“We’re moved to tears only by the sense that we are not all here and will never gather again in a meeting like this.

“We rejoice that we were permitted to take part in the decoration of our comrades’ graves.

“We are not here to exalt ourselves, but to honor comrades, who in 1862 mus-

Major Morgan T. Burkhart, 1st Tennessee Cavalry, Union Army, Civil War tered in the defense of the Union, and I can say for my regiment, the First Tennessee Cavalry, that we never avoided a fight or turned our backs to the enemy.

“It was not under the impression that 60 days would end the war that we were mustered; it was when the clouds hung low and disasters were thick; Buell was pushing his forces into Kentucky, Morgan had to leave Cumberland Gap, and McClenden had been defeated in Virginia. It was then that the most of us pledged our hearts and lives to our country.

“We are glad that God spared us to see the magnificent development and increase in strength and honor which has come to us as veterans and yet citizens, pledged each according to his own conscience to do that which will best promote the glory of our country and conserve those patriotic thoughts and purposes that took us into the war.”

Website to honor Chuck Rohe Against the backdrop of Tennessee’s three-fourths of one point and the exciting tie for 77th place in NCAA track and field, I offer this brief insight into how things used to be.

“What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

That was one of Napoleon Hill’s hallmark expressions. It applies to Chuck Rohe.

If you never heard of Hill, you can look him up – Pound, Va., author, journalist, attorney, philosopher.

If you don’t know about Rohe, you missed a magnificent chapter in Volunteer history.

Because I believe in miracles, I have sometimes wondered if Rohe was one.

He seemingly came out of nowhere, with boundless

Marvin West

energy and maybe genius intellect, took over a Tennessee track team that was below zero, somehow assembled an array of champion athletes, drove them relentlessly and collected a cluster of trophies, medals and ribbons.

His Vols routed Southeastern Conference foes, trampled them so badly some schools were embarrassed. Programs were upgraded in self-defense.

Some, including Alabama,

were forced to build a track. Football funded it.

Paul “Bear” Bryant resented that.

Because track coaches didn’t get paid much back then, Rohe added a second job, football recruiting coordinator for Doug Dickey.

Chuck is directly linked to Richmond Flowers and Chip Kell. His concept of dual-sport stars led to Karl Kremser, Willie Gault, Ron Widby and Condredge Holloway.

Chuck didn’t stay long at Tennessee, 1962-1971, but long enough to go 8710 in dual meets and win an astonishing 21 consecutive SEC titles – indoor, outdoor and cross-country. Six times his teams finished in the NCAA top 10. He was once national coach of the year. He

Heavy lifting “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.

(John 12: 32-33 NRSV)

Once the light dawned in my head I could no longer not see it!

The church I have been attending since my marriage is a small church, pastored by a young smart-as-a-whip preacher who (as nearly as I can tell) hits a home run every Sunday morning.

I tell you that to explain that it is because of his engrossing sermons that I had missed the import of the picture and its caption.

Above the altar, behind the pulpit, is a picture of Jesus. That is not unusual in churches. However, underneath this particu-

lar picture is the verse I quoted above, in a slightly different translation: “I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me.”

It is one of my favorite verses because it makes me believe that God’s love and grace are powerful enough, and big enough, and comprehensive enough, and forgiving enough to gather us all in. All. All of us. A lot

served on the U.S. Olympic Committee.

He went on to more rewarding things, with Charley Coffey to Virginia Tech, into event promotion with Pace Management and on to Orlando to resurrect the Tangerine Bowl and lead it to fancy new names, great TV ratings and significant riches.

Rohe ventured into the World Football League as an owner and administrator but we won’t go there.

That he was actually able to sell his franchise may have been another miracle.

In semi-retirement, he is executive vice president and national director of Nike Coach of the Year Clinics. Each year they attract more than 10,000 football coaches to 20 sites across America. President of that project is a familiar name, John Majors.

Rohe’s former track

and field Vols have been searching for a way to honor their coach and say thank you for leadership at a crucial time in their lives.

They didn’t like some of it at the time but they cherish it and him now.

Remember: What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

“In our pursuit to preserve the legacy and history of the Rohe era, we will build a website,” said former distance runner Coppley Vickers.

It will be a repository for old Vols to post formal expressions of appreciation, adventure stories, tall tales and maybe a few lies. Dr. Tom Scott of shot put fame will do the definitive audio/video history, Rohe reminiscing. Former UT sports information director Bud Ford will create a records section with times, heights and dis-

tances of distinction.

There will be a keepsake photo album, even the classic Bill Dyer cartoon of the Vols pushing the team bus when it ran out of gas.

Rohe’s motivational slogans will be treated as treasures.

One of my long-ago descriptions of the coach might get into an obscure corner: “Chuck Rohe was and is a poster person for the power of positive thinking. He loves life, doesn’t want to miss any and drags reluctant others along for the joy ride.

Always up before the crack of dawn, he has stretched the truth as needed and greeted each morning with ‘What a day!’”

That might be good enough for the website.

Maybe I’ll have a little talk with the planning committee. I know those guys.

of people disagree with me on that point, and that is their privilege, but that is what I believe.

And, in my own defense, I missed the larger meaning because the Gospel writer said what he thought it meant: “He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.” Okay, so that is what I have always thought that comment intended to say. Jesus was predicting his method of execution: lifted up on a cross, in one of the most hideous forms of torture the Romans could concoct.

But as I sat in church last Sunday, I read those words again, looked at the

picture of Jesus’ face, and my heart heard a completely different message.

It stopped me in my mental tracks.

“If I be lifted up….”

And who will lift up Jesus? Me? You? The church?

Who? The questions kept flooding my soul. What have I done or said recently that lifted up Jesus? Have I worshipped him? Adored him? Have I done anything to show my Savior to a hurting, hungry world?

Then the questions got harder.

Have I obeyed him?

Have I followed him?

And harder still: Can

anyone see any glimmer of Jesus in my life? What have I done or said that brought him down, instead of lifting him up?

We sing the great hymn “Lift High the Cross,” and it never fails to stir my heart.

But what if we – you and I – lifted up the Christ instead? By our actions, our words, our listening, our faith, our constancy, can we lift him up, so that all the world may see and know that “he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings”?

(Revelation 17:14) Can we lift him up so that he can draw all men and women unto himself?

O Lord, let it be so.

NEWS FROM UNION COUNTY’S FARM FAMILIES

Welch settles in to sheep farming

By Libby Morgan Instant response to orders is critical to military police actions, as Chuck Welch well knows. He was a member of the Tennessee Military Police until budget cuts wiped out his position in 2010.

Now he’s raising sheep.

They don’t take orders.

(Well, maybe they will from Welch’s young shepherd dog after it learns how to herd, but that’s a ways out.)

Lifestyle changes from the military to the civilian world can be uncomfortable for some, but Welch has happily settled in to life on the farm.

Bees were his first fascination, but he decided that since even the scientists are struggling to keep them healthy, it is too much of a challenge.

“I had to throw in the towel on the bees,” he says.

He had an opportunity to buy a flock of Katahdin Hair sheep earlier this year,

and he went for it. Katahdin don’t require shearing.

“Katahdin’s wool isn’t marketable as far as I know, and they simply shed their hair each spring. Some haven’t completely lost their coat yet, but they will soon.” says Welch. “They look like a motley bunch right now.

“I plan to market the sheep for breeding and meat. This flock was already bred when I got them, and sheep normally have twins. Thirty-two ewes (delivered) 61 lambs this spring. And they grow really quickly.”

Welch has begun to learn about an old grazing theory that has come to the forefront lately, a method that requires moving the livestock from pasture to pasture every few days, depending on the animal, the plants and the life cycles of parasites, among other things.

He’s been educating himself on intensive, high den-

agricultural scientists – are pooling their findings to further the success in raising livestock without expensive and ever-less-effective chemical treatments.

“I’m learning a lot, and since I’m new to all this, I’m open to new ideas. Every day I learn something.

The animals themselves can teach you a lot if you pay close attention, and I’m willing to learn.”

sity and rotational grazing by attending summits and conferences. He has also become a Master Beef Producer through the ag extension program.

Right now he has only sheep on his pastures, but later may mix in cattle.

There are ways to combine different grazing animals, following one with the other, to affect the health of the pasture, he says.

Challenges in the system are having enough fencing and cross fencing to keep the animals where Welch wants them, while providing them with water and shade in each area.

“I’m using a combination of polywire fencing and electric netting that’s powered by solar. It’s very portable,” Welch says.

“One of the goals is to have viable pastureland

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC If you’ve never visited a chiropractor, you have no idea what sort of benefit you might get from treatment.

It’s estimated that 80 percent of Americans are going to experience some type of back pain in the course of their lives. Early chiropractic treatment can help. And while chiropractors treat the whole body, not just the back, they may be best known for their success in easing the problem of back pain for so many people. Here are some questions to ask yourself: • Do you ever experience leg pain with numbness, tingling and/or weakness?

Do you ever experience back or leg pain when coughing or sneezing?

• Do you have difficulty standing up after sitting for any length of time? Do you have stiffness in the morning or pain in the hip, buttock, thigh, knee or foot that decreases as you start moving around?

• Do you have trouble turning or bending equally to each side? Do you have pain that prevents a good night’s sleep?

• Is your posture unbalanced, with the head, neck or a shoulder higher on one side than the other?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you could be dealing with a back problem, or well on the way to dealing with one. If you answered ‘yes,’ you are definitely a candidate for chiropractic treatment. Call today for a chiropractic consultation.
