Candy counter: Follow along, friends, because somewhere here there’s a point. Maybe.

So Carolyn Murr shows up in her usual spot on the school board agenda but before talking she asks Dr. Ronnie Mincey to distribute some candy bars to everyone on the dais.

She directed Mincey to give a large Hershey bar to Sandra everyone, and then to give Clark a smaller bar to just half of the group.

That, she said, represents the current school board Toppins should run for policy toward health insurthe school board. ance for teachers. Everyone That’s a notion I sup- gets a large bar (almost full port fully, knowing it would coverage paid for by the add at least an hour to each system) and the employees meeting. with families get an addi-

This and that Marilyn Toppins has confirmed her retirement as an employee of Union County Public Schools.

She’s had so many jobs that I’m not sure what she did last. But Marilyn served with honor as interim director of schools and is as knowledgeable of the ins and outs of the school system as anybody.

She’s got a role to play, but I would suggest it’s not as a gadfly at board meetings.

tional smaller bar (partial reimbursement for family coverage).

“Where’s the candy bar for non-certifieds?” asked board member Marty Gibbs.

Murr just shrugged.

The biggest inequity in the current plan is that the system makes no contribution toward individual or family insurance for the teaching assistants, secretaries, custodians and others classified as non-certified.

Yes, health insurance is offered (making their kids ineligible for TennCare), but the system doesn’t help pay the premiums. According to commissioner Joyce Meltabarger, the health insurance premiums for family

coverage is as much as some non-certified employees earn.

Murr said afterwards that she is concerned that the board will try to attack the individual employee benefit – the one that affects everyone.

“I’m against that,” said Murr, who heads the Union County Education Association. There are 123 people getting only one bar while 73 teachers get both the big and little bars, she said.

“You can go up (on benefits) but you should not go back. Do not penalize people because they do not carry family insurance.”

On another topic, Murr urged the school board to “be a hero” and give teach-

When Luttrell was Cedar Ford For the pre-1860 history of Cedar Ford, it is best to search Grainger County records.

Bonnie Peters

Prior to the formation of Union County, this community was in Grainger County.

Flat Creek, that ran through the Cedar Ford settlement, was an attractive draw for early settlers.

Not far behind the current Cedar Ford Baptist Church is a shallow span of Flat Creek. Before bridges were constructed, it was a place for people, horses, wagons and later cars and trains to ford the creek.

Cedar trees were prevalent all around the settlement, so the name Cedar Ford seemed appropriate.

Prior to 1890, when the community was renamed

Luttrell, there was a church, a school, the Lindsey Hubbs Mill, a lime kiln and the marble quarry. Marble quarried at this location can be seen in the Union County Courthouse as well as in fine buildings throughout the nation.

In 1870, the population of Cedar Ford was 800.

In 1887, the Powell Valley Railroad, now part of the Norfolk Southern Railway, was built through the community and it became a shipping center for the surrounding area. In addition to shipping marble, local folks shipped hay and lumber by rail. Conversely, ice was shipped up to Cedar Ford for ice cream makings and for those who had ice boxes to keep their milk and other foods.

Revolutionary War soldier John Hubbs and his descendants owned many tracts of land, more than 1,000 acres, from Copper Ridge to Grainger County, and in 1843 John Hubbs Jr. gave “a piece of land on

the wagon road at the ford known as Cedar Ford.”

In 1870, Howell Hubbs deeded an acre of land to the United Baptist Church at Cedar Ford. In 1877, John H. Hubbs deeded land on which to build a school.

During the Civil War, John and Nancy Hill Hubbs’ son, Lindsey S. Hubbs, owned and operated a grain mill on Flat Creek at Cedar Ford.

The following story was told by the late Jack Hammond of Knoxville. Sarah, who tied the rope from the horse around her waist in the story, was his grandmother, born in 1847.

Jack related that his grandmother told him “times were hard and supplies were hard to get” so Lindsey sent his daughter, Paralee and son, Leroy, out to the mill to get some corn cobs to burn in the cook stove. While they were there, Lindsey heard a noise and knew that the Rebels were coming and that they were up to no good. He

Not wishing his children to have to undergo the same treatment, he dug a hole into the wheat that was ready for milling and pushed Paralee

into the hole. Then he made a hole in the shelled corn and put Leroy into it. He told the children to be quiet until the Rebels had come and gone. This action saved their lives and they both lived to a ripe old age.

At another time, after the Rebels had stolen all their

ers the 1.5 percent pay increase authorized by the state Legislature.

When the meeting adjourned, Gibbs walked by with a handful of candy bars. Seems some members just left theirs on the table.

Maybe they thought Murr was trying to poison them.

School clinics: Dr. Jimmy Carter said he expects to bring a contract with a local doctor to the school board for approval to provide health care in schools.

“We ultimately want a long-term contract with LMU,” but this contract would keep clinics open at some level at no cost to UCPS. The doctor would be reimbursed by insurance, Carter said.

ducks, chickens and cows, there was only one old horse left in the way of livestock.

When they heard that the Rebels were coming, they tied a rope to the halter of the old horse and passed it through a knot hole in the door.

Sarah, “Aunt Sal,” tied the rope around her waist to prevent the theft of the horse and spent the night with that rope tied around her waist.

When asked, “What do you think would have happened if the Rebels had tried to take the horse?” She said, “I guess I just wouldn’t have been here.”

Supplies were so hard to get that Paralee told of parching shelled corn and using it for coffee. The people didn’t have salt and learned to do without it.

Later in life Paralee would ask for cornbread to be made without salt.

Now, it just wouldn’t be Cedar Ford without mention of Mary “Aunt Molly” Dyer. One of the good stories about her is that she took her cow to Flat Creek every morning and washed the whole cow before she milked her. I’m sure that felt good in summer, but just image the poor cow having to endure that in January!

seven/eighths without socks. He was 176 last season. He is now 190. When he takes a deep breath, he is six feet tall.

College coaches prefer Peyton Manning-sized quarterbacks who can see over large linemen. High must move his feet and find ways to look around them.

Condredge Holloway became a Tennessee legend without being very tall. Perhaps you have heard of Doug Flutie.

Sonny Jurgensen, 5-11, is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Drew Brees is the best six-footer currently conducting business in the NFL. Before him were Fran Tarkenton, Len Dawson and Joe Theismann.

All are exceptions to the tallness rule.

But wait, wait, you say,

the game has changed so much and those famous names were very athletic, nifty scramblers with power arms.

Here High takes another hit. He is accused of being a “system” quarterback. We are told his very bright coach, Rusty Bradley, and the school team made Charlie a winner instead of the other way around. Three excellent receivers – Davis Howell, Josh Smith and Franklin Murchison – made it happen.

Few mention High’s strengths, football instincts, poise under duress, terrific touch, amazing accuracy. Can he deliver peak performance under pressure? Check his numbers in state playoff games.

Walk-ons who come to Tennessee with minimum

encouragement, work like heck and eventually contribute earn my lasting respect.

Walk-ons who climb far above expectations, crash the starting lineup and win scholarships become treasured success stories. Think Tim Townes, Jeff Powell, Alan Duncan, Steve Robinson and the Sullins twins, Cody and Cory.

Walk-ons who defy limitations and just keep pushing, up and up, until they become leaders of men – captains Mike LaSorsa, J.J. McCleskey, Nick Reveiz – are unforgettable!

Charlie High is a Volunteer because he really, really wants to be. That is my best reason to cheer.

directed by John Huston) is when Noah’s wife demands of her husband, “How are we going to feed all these lions and tigers?”

Noah (played by Huston himself) calmly replies, “Well, they are just great cats!” as he sets down a bowl of milk before the beasts.

My husband’s cat (aptly named Kitty Kat) arrived on the scene by misfortune. Or perhaps I should say, more accurately, by Providence.

She was a tiny kitten, not old enough to be weaned, when someone heartlessly set her out beside the road near Lewis’ house. He found her, and rescued her (or she rescued him, because until her arrival he was alone and lonely).

He took her in, fed her with a medicine dropper, and she became his constant companion, his familiar, his friend.

She has expressive green eyes, and black, black fur, with about six white hairs on the scruff of her neck. She is, quite simply, elegant. I remind her frequently that if she had lived in ancient Egypt, she would have been considered a goddess. I am convinced she is pleased by that news.

She loves me and has accepted me graciously, but she is still Lewis’ cat, and he is her person. She goes to his office with him every day, and has two perches there: one on a table at the end of his desk, and the other on a

chair beside a windowed door where she can survey her domain.

I found some feathers scattered across the parking lot the other day, and realized that Kitty Kat, like every feline, is at heart a predator, no matter how domesticated.

I am grateful she did not feel the need to share her prey with me. I like birds as long as there is glass between me and their beaks and claws, and even a feather gives me the shivers.

I am grateful Kitty Kat permits me to live in her house, and that she graciously allows me to love her person.

But I should expect no less. She is, after all, a lady.

NEWS FROM UNION COUNTY’S FARM FAMILIES

A sweet interlude

By Libby Morgan Farmers markets within Teresa Cooper’s preferred drive time get an extra-special treat when she shows up.

Cooper brings her crop of baked goodies to sweeten the harvest among all the healthy vegetables, fruits and other farm yields.

Bread, cakes, turnovers and cookies travel well, but to experience her chocolates and candies you’ll have to catch her at her shop on Karen Lane just across Hwy. 33 from Red Gate.

Union Countians know her from her 20-year career as owner of Teresa’s Bakery, and before that, her children’s day care center, Teresa’s Tiny Tots in Maynardville.

Her Union County roots go deeper yet, as she is the daughter of Joe Day, principal of Horace Maynard High School from 1976 until his death in 1985.

Teresa and her husband, Mike Cooper, who’s worked at Big Ridge State Park almost 40 years, have three grown kids, Brittney, Blair and Brian, and two grandsons, Jacob and Michael.

Custom cakes are just one of Teresa’s Bakery specialties. There are 400 shapes to choose from, something for every occasion.

“The favorite, though, is the pie. My homemade chocolate and coconut pies have always been very pop-

Above her are a few of her hundreds of shaped cake pans. ular,” says Cooper.

“The bread is something I’ve started making recently.

It’s a good seller at the markets. I make white, wheat and cinnamon raisin.”

Teresa’s Bakery is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, unless it’s one of her market days where you’ll find

Humane Society needs support Tammy Rouse, executive director of the Union County Humane Society, has sent a request for support this summer.

“We need your help,” she wrote. “The summer months are the toughest for us financially and operationally. Contributions are down because of vacations, gardening and other summer activities.

“We find increased numbers of animals coming through our doors with the need for more vaccines, food, deworming medication and staff hours to care for the animals.”

By Sandra Clark and Gibson Calfee What happens to milk between the time the cow is milked and you grab a pint or gallon at the grocery?

The Shopper-News interns set out to solve this mystery with a visit to Weigel’s and its companion business Broadacres Dairy.

What we learned was amazing.

First, the original Broadacres farm was bigger than 700 acres and began as a vegetable farm more than 100 years ago.

Weigel’s Convenience Stores is now headed by Bill Weigel, grandson of the founder. Bill’s son Kurt Weigel also works there.

The farm supported a dairy herd from 1931 until the 1970s, when the herd was sold off and much of the farm was divided into the Broadacres subdivision.

Now milk is bought only from East Tennessee farmers and it’s in a store within 24 hours of entering the plant.

Broadacres Dairy tests incoming milk to ensure its safety and to make sure it’s not been watered down.

Douglas Rouch, the plant manager, led our tour. He

moved here from Indiana 12 years ago when a plant he worked for shut down.

He and his wife honeymooned in Gatlinburg and always liked the area.

Rouch goes to bed at 8 p.m. and gets up at 3 or 3:30 a.m. to be at work by 5.

“We’ve got 63 stores right now and our goal is 100,” Rouch said of Weigel’s.

Each store is built better than the ones before, using stone, tile and other natural materials.

Rouch said his goal is to make every Weigel’s product a cut above the competition, and Weigel’s products are sold only in Weigel’s stores.

Outside, a farm family mowed the fields around the dairy barns. Rouch said it’s a third-generation family that cuts the hay for their livestock. It’s a win-win swap, hay for labor.

Weigel’s is launching a new product soon – a Cappuccino Chiller that’s “half the price of Starbucks.”

A “very lucrative byproduct” of the process is cream, which is sold to Mayfield’s.

After all this, two interns had the same question: “Why is the W off-center in the logo?”

Why Pre-Plan?

By planning now, you have the peace of mind that everything will be taken care of.

Celebrate the lives of those you love.

Knoxville Zoo comes to Maynardville

Few conditions are more frustrating to a new parent – and disturbing to the new baby, too – than a full-blown case of infantile colic.

The near-constant crying and discomfort of the baby can wear you down.

The condition usually appears in the first month of life and often disappears by the third or fourth month. It can last, however, up to a year.

Case studies have shown that chiropractic treatment can be effective in addressing the issue.

For instance, a study at the Center for Biomechanics at Odense University in Denmark, showed a daily decrease in crying of more than two hours by colicky infants who were treated with spinal manipulation. A study group of infants treated with the drug dimethicone experienced a daily crying decrease of one hour.

Also, a 2012 Anglo-European College of Chiropractic study found similar results. In the study, 104 infants younger than eight weeks, who are known to have infantile colic, were selected and divided into groups, some treated with chiropractic manual therapy of the spine, some not.

The study found a marked improvement and a reduction in persistent crying among the treated infants.

Colic can be more than annoying. It physically strains the baby, raises the level of parental stress and can interfere with mother-child bonding. At the core of chiropractic philosophy is the belief that a body in proper alignment is capable of healing itself.

Talk with your chiropractor if you have a colicky baby.
