Oak Grove restoration continues

Preservation Union County has an opportunity to receive funds for materials for the restoration of Oak Grove School if TVA retirees will contribute a few hours labor.

Preservation Union County volunteers have been striving for more than three years to stabilize the historic Rosenwald design school, which was operated as an elementary school from 1935 to the 1960s when the Oak Grove children were transferred to the new Sharps Chapel Elementary School.

Tasks that have been completed to date are substantial, but much more work needs to be done.

The Preservation Union County Board will make a proposal to the TVA Bicentennial Volunteers outlining how their help can be maximized.

If you are a TVA retiree who could donate a few hours of any type volunteer work, call Betty Bullen, president of Preservation Tammie Carter of the Union County Property Assessor’s office and memUnion County, at 992-1005 or 919- ber of the Broken Spurs Dance Club, dances with the group’s leader, Charlie Mabe.

4-H fun

in Greeneville

Report from the UC Extension Office Seventeen Union County Junior 4-H kids attended the week-long Clyde-Austin 4-H Camp in Greeneville, Tenn., accompanied by ag extension agent Shannon Perrin, adult leader Thomas Skibinski, and teen leader Tiffany Headrick.

Tractor Supply in Halls hosted the 4-H paper clover campaign in May and campers took part by selling $1 and $5 clovers to earn scholarships to camp.

The top seller was Sarah Davis, and the Halls store location was the top selling in the nation.

At camp, the 4-Hers had opportunities to swim, practice archery, muzzle

loading and rifle skills at a rifle range, canoe, do the ropes course, cook breakfast over a campfire, airbrush and tie-dye shirts, do woodworking and leather craft, make friendship bracelets, and much more.

More educational activities included the Greeneville Fire Department Smokehouse and learning about wildlife, fossils and heritage. The campers made homemade ice cream in a bag, played heritage games, made eagle eyes, and learned about the eagle as our national emblem.

The kids participated in land and water Olympics.

One of the more popular activities was a camp favorite, “GaGa Ball,” which is played in a large octagonal GaGa pit. To begin,

someone throws a ball up into the air and players hit the ball at each other in the ring. A player cannot hit the ball twice in a row unless it bounces off another person or the wall. As play-

ers are hit, they must leave the game, and a player who hits the ball outside of the pit is also out. If a person catches the ball in the air the last person to hit the ball is out.

Much to celebrate at Wilson Park building of the park, as did Jill Beason.

“Perseverance built this beautiful park. I want to challenge our community to think of the possibilities of what else we can do to keep improving Wilson Park,” said Beason.

Bob Johnson, who donated the land for the park, spoke of his appreciation for all the volunteers who did the hard work.

“I did the easy part,” he says of giving the land.

Link brought an album of photos from the park’s construction, and many gathered at her table to take a look back.

Fireworks wrapped up the celebration.

Reflecting on the event later, Parks and Recreation board member Tammie Carter says, “I’m very pleased with the celebration. It was a lot of work for all of us, but well worth it.”

She serves on the board with coworker at the Property Assessor’s office, Randy Turner, and Sirt Signs’ Marsha Raley.

Chiropractic Outlook

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Athletic activity, of course, is generally good for us.

But it, like any strenuous action, can strain the body and back. One way to avoid back problems – and improve your game, whatever it may be – is to keep the body’s core strong. The core, simply, is the middle part of the body, between the knees and the chest.

When all the muscle sets in that area are toned, they help stabilize the spine and prevent injury.

One of the key exercises to keeping a strong core is the abdominal crunch. This is not the traditional situp in which you raise your body from a prone position to a sitting one. That can be bad for your back. To crunch, lie on your back on the floor with knees bent.

Cross your arms over your chest and raise your head and trunk slightly from the floor.

A variation on this crunch is to lie with your knees bent, put your hands under your lower back for support and straighten one leg. Keep your neck and lower spine straight and lift your shoulders and chest off the floor. Hold the position for 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times and switch legs. Talk with your chiropractor about other exercises you can do to strengthen your core and keep your back safe.

Funding the county Union County will end its fiscal year on June 30 with a budget surplus. “We would be in real trouble if we didn’t,” said Finance Director Ann Dyer.

Sandra Clark

Both the school board and the Budget and Finance Committee of county commission met last Tuesday to tie up loose ends for the fiscal year.

“We’re just cleaning up budget lines,” Director of Schools Jimmy Carter said.

Final numbers are not in,

but here are some budget tidbits: ■ Bumper dog: The county received an insurance reimbursement for work done to repair the bumper of a cruiser. It seems an officer responded to a call for assistance when a neighbor’s dog damaged a car bumper. When the officer arrived, sure enough, the dog chewed into his bumper as well.

I’d hate to be that dog’s defense attorney – or dentist!

■ Virtual Academy: In response to a question from school board member Gerald Smith, Carter estimated the school system has received $500,000 for operating an online education program for grades K-8 called the Virtual Academy.

“So that’s a half million

dollars we’ve saved the (local) taxpayers,” said Smith.

“Or a half million dollars of program cuts (avoided),” said Carter.

He added: “I appreciate the fact that we have the Virtual Academy in place.

It’s something to fall back on.”

Another year remains on the contract, but threatening noises are coming from Nashville about whether to extend the program.

■ HMMS Media Center: Chip Brown reported that the Shirley Lynn Collins Memorial Media Center at Horace Maynard Middle School is progressing with both electronics and wiring installed. He said Affordable Carpets won the bid for carpet and the school’s computers will be upgraded.

The center was funded by a

Braden: a community apart The Braden community is located in the Blue Springs Hollow on the north side of the Powell River (Norris Lake) in Union County.

The lake now separates this community from the remainder of Union County.

Bonnie Peters

When the Tennessee Valley Authority was preparing for the f looding of Norris Reservoir and had to destroy the bridge across the Powell River,

the people were promised a bridge and money was paid to Union County to build a bridge there; however, the county court at that time redirected those funds. The bridge was never built.

Some years ago, then Union County Road Superintendent Clayton Helms initiated ferry service between Braden and the Lead Mine Bend community. The first ferry sank and another ferry was obtained.

We are grateful for the ferry service, but the people of Braden still need that bridge.

This is how I know they still need that bridge: On a cold day in February, Dorothy Kelly, who was

preparing a presentation for the Knoxville Civil War Round Table, and I went to Campbell County to photograph gaps used by Colonel (then General) Sanders on his way with his troops to Knoxville. When we finished our tour, we drove over to Union County Boat Dock. The ferry was parked on the Lead Mine Bend side – just a stone’s throw away – but I waved my arms, yelled, hollered and waited to no avail.

I also walked all around the dock looking for someone who might have the operator’s cell phone number. I found not one soul at the dock that day. Short story – we had to drive to Harrogate to find something to eat, then back

$50,000 grant from Freddie Brasfield.

■ Medical expenses: Budget committee members questioned Dyer about costs of medical treatments for prisoners, with one joking, “Yeah, there’s a guy who punches somebody when he has a toothache so he can go to the dentist in jail.”

Dyer said costs are escalating and she is checking with other counties to see how they control costs. She said Morgan County saved $150,000 by partnering with a company that reviews and negotiates medical bills.

Commissioner J.M. Bailey, who chairs the budget committee, said, “We should have somebody down there (in the Sheriff’s Office) to look out for our interests.” But he added, “I’m not the sheriff. I’m just a committee member.”

Commissioner Wayne Roach said, “Obviously, we

Finance Director Ann Dyer talks with Commissioners Wayne Roach and Stanley Boles following Tuesday’s meeting of the Budget and Finance Committee. Photo by S. Clark have to pay (the bills presented), but the costs are getting greater and we have no control.”

Bailey started the voting by saying, “I hate to but I have to,” and voting yes.

■ Library donations: Dyer said the city of Maynardville contributed $1,000 and United Health Care donated $350 toward

the library’s summer reading program.

■ Best line: Jimmy Carter drew laughter following the committee meeting as both he and commissioners vied for Dyer’s attention. Referencing the percentage of the county’s budget that goes to schools, Carter said, “We get 65 percent of her time!”

signal for the operator to come pick us up. A sign letting people know the procedure would help. I hope a sign and a bridge to Braden are on someone’s “to do” list.

Now back to how this community got its name.

Braden was named for the W. W. and Hester Braden family, who gave a 3/4acre tract of land on which to build a school and a church.

I do not have a Braden Church history, but early school teachers at Braden were the late Luther Coppock and Ernest Bowman.

Ernest Bowman, teacher, with students from Braden School on Braden School was operatthe edge of Norris Lake in Blue Springs Hollow, circa 1936. Bowing in the early 1900s. man crossed the pinnacle with water up to the running board of After the impoundment his car as water was backing up. The tall boy is Mack Braden.

Summer small talk There are Little Leagues that give every player a trophy. Careful with fragile psyches. Emphasize equality. Do not damage self-worth.

Phil Steele, distinguished sportswriter and magazine publisher, uses that mentality in picking preseason football allAmericans. Almost everybody who can line up properly is an honoree – 120 of ’em. Let there be kindness for all.

Sixty-three schools are represented, the better to sell more magazines. There are 27 “all-Americans” in the Southeastern Conference.

Eight are from Alabama.

Tennessee is represented by offensive tackle Antonio Richardson, linebacker A.J. Johnson and

defensive tackle Daniel McCullers.

Why not offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James? He can line up.

Tennessee linemen have a lot of experience – in big games lost. You get to decide whether that is good or bad.

SEC football coaches are staunchly opposed to playing nine SEC games each season. Their logic is rooted in self-preservation.

Too many tough opponents increase the risk of missing a bowl bid. No bowl game means no bowl bonus. Holidays at home lead directly to unemployment.

I can relate. I have confessed in this space (quite often) that I am a worrier.

It’s genetic; what can I say?

I know that!

I also know that it is sinful.

interesting people are not.

Big man Jeronne Maymon does have good news on the sideline. He could be 100 percent healthy by the end of July. Or maybe August. Or soon thereafter. The season doesn’t begin until November.

After Maymon is 100 percent healthy, when he can run full speed and do stop-and-go drills, he has to get into basketball playing condition. That will involve losing weight and regaining quickness.

Antonio Barton, transfer-to-be from Memphis, is healthy but occupied with three Internet courses and an internship. He must finish those to graduate. He must graduate before he can switch schools for his fourth season of eligibility. Some NCAA rules are quirky like that.

Barton and Maymon are very large in Volunteer plans for this winter. An-

I have had the privilege of standing on the green, sloping hillside where Jesus spoke those words, looking out over the Sea of Galilee. There were wildflowers growing all over that hill, even in the March winds. There was a souldeep peace in that place, a peace that made me feel that I could lay down all my worries right there, and walk away from them.

Of course, being a worrier, I picked them up again.

But the Talmud tells us about the angels who at-

And if each blade of grass has its own angel, then surely I do as well. And so do you!

It is hard to hang onto that assurance sometimes.

I recognize that. However, Jesus insisted that if we would “…strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, …all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6: 33) Or, as one of my college professors assured me, “Be where you are supposed to be; do what you are supposed to do; and everything will be fine.”

I like Butch Jones’ brick-by-brick campaign to rebuild Tennessee football.

If that is an original idea, the College Football Hall of Fame, under construction in downtown Atlanta, has copied it.

The hall-to-be is selling commemorative bricks, to be engraved with a name and a message, for $100.

Larger bricks are $200 and $300. I don’t know how much a wall costs but if you want to buy one, I’ll find out.

Twenty-one former Volunteers plus Bob Neyland and Doug Dickey are in the Hall of Fame. The new home in Atlanta is supposed to open in the fall of 2014. It might happen earlier if you buy enough bricks.

Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

It is all about priorities. And apparently we – you and I, all of us – are God’s priorities. And if we make God our priority, and stand faithfully on God’s promise, then what have we to worry about?

It takes prayer and faith that God can handle all our fears, because worry is really a form of fear. And you know what? Three hundred and sixty-five times, the Bible says (in one form or another), “Fear not….”

That is one “Fear not” for every day of the year. That is good enough for me!

NEWS FROM UNION COUNTY’S FARM FAMILIES

Staying on top of the food stream The way of the new homesteaders

By Libby Morgan Two smart people have discovered the wonderfulness of East Tennessee and are crafting a new way of life for themselves.

Darren Farquhar and Tamara Bernadot moved from Wisconsin after each of them had had successful careers – Darren as a military corpsman, nurse and mobile hospital designer, and Tamara in natural products sales and marketing.

Their mutual desire to be in a warmer clime and to dive into living with as much control over their food sources as possible led them to search for a place to go back to the land, so to speak.

They found their spot on the northern edge of Sharps Chapel, on a 10acre hillside with a big eastern sky orientation, a modern house, and plenty of open space for growing food.

“We love the friendly culture here,” says Farquhar (pronounced farkwar).

Darren Farquhar and Tamara Bernadot’s farm is a Sharps Chapel location to buy Hardin’s Mountain Organics’ heirloom tomato plants.

Check In! Check Up! Check Back!

Check In! If you are on TennCare, medical checkups for children under age 21 are free. Call your doctor or the health department to schedule your child’s visit.

Check Up: Annual checkups are important to prevent diseases and chronic medical conditions. Your child can get a health history, a complete physical exam, lab tests (as appropriate), vision and hearing screenings, immunizations, developmental and behavioral screenings (as appropriate), advice on keeping your child healthy, dental referrals and medical referrals if necessary.

Check Back with your doctor by keeping your follow-up appointment, your next scheduled well-child visit or by contacting your doctor if a problem occurs.

In a little over a year, they’ve established beehives, an orchard, big garden plots, a cornfield and an herb garden. They’ve become poultry farmers, and just last week, proud owners of two hogs.

Two greenhouses are made with a simple but effective design, out behind the workshop that appears from the outside to be a small second home, complete with a front porch.

Seems nothing is daunting for them, including processing their own chickens.

One-hundred and ninety pounds of it went in the freezer recently.

“All this is a labor of love for us,” says Farquhar. “We have a great time growing everything. We’re getting our vineyard started with muscadines, catawbas and concords.”

Tamara and Darren have become fast friends with Tom and Faye Hardin of Hardin’s Mountain Organics on Loyston Road. Along the way Bernadot created a Facebook page for them, and the Sharps Chapel farm is an outlet for Hardin’s heirloom tomato plants.

“I really enjoy helping small startups and have taught classes in online marketing, which I hope to do here at some point,” says Bernadot.

They’re growing all of the Hardin’s varieties of tomatoes, plus many more,

and have them marked so they can discover the different characteristics of size, shape and color.

“I never knew there was a white tomato,” says Bernadot.

Kale is coming in in spades, and Bernadot shared a kale chips recipe she loves: Remove the stem, cut or tear the kale leaves in

Purveyor of pelts

By Cindy Taylor School’s out and it’s time to get the imagination going for summer reading.

That means when the heat index starts to rise, so do the number of books being checked out at Maynardville Public Library. It also means that some of the outdoors comes indoors.

Two weeks ago it was snakes at the library. Last week was a bit calmer as Big Ridge State Park ranger and purveyor of pelts Sarah Nicley brought skulls and fur to show those in the summer reading program.

Children could get “touchy-feely” with pelts from a skunk, fox and raccoon and see animal skulls such as possum and deer.

Nicley explained the difference between nocturnal and diurnal animals. She also clarified what separates herbivores and carnivores from omnivores and talked about the many duties of a park ranger.

“These pelts represent mammals you could actually find in Big Ridge State Park,” said Nicley. She invited the kids to attend nature walks at Big Ridge

during the summer.

All kids were offered a free, healthy lunch thanks to the state school lunch program.

Education days at the library are presented by director Chantay Collins and the library staff every Friday at 1 p.m. through July and are averaging more than 50 children and adults.

Doin’ the Tooty-Tot? Library director Chantay Collins will do just about anything to get kids to read – including leading them in a new dance craze that seems to involve sticking out various body parts. Photos by Cindy Taylor NOW SHOWING THROUGH JULY 2
