“The Ballad of Thunder Road” is a song performed and co-written by actor Robert Mitchum in 1957. It was the theme song of the movie “Thunder Road,” which depicts a young Mitchum as a moonshine runner during Prohibition. Maynardville is mentioned in the lyrics. Williams’ visit to the Chamber came at a time when the businessboosting organization is seeking leadership. President and CEO Julie Graham has resigned and efforts to replace her have not been successful. Chamber board chair Debbie Perry said, “We’ve had a low applicant pool and are continuing to look.” Meanwhile, the board adopted a memorandum of understanding with Graham to continue working part-time (10 hours per week for $100 per week plus expenses) until Dec. 31 or until a new president is hired, “whichever comes first.” Treasurer Kay Jones is accepting applications to serve on the Chamber board. The 19-member board now has 16 members. Info: kjones395@hotmail.com/.

A zeal for life at Hickory Pointe
Lake’s shoreline was bringing in less than $2,500 in property taxes, according to Randy Turner of the property assessor’s office. The subdivision has 35 finished homes and four under construction on a total of 225 lots.
“This year, the lots and homes in Hickory Pointe have a combined property tax bill of $158,237,” said Turner. That’s a huge impact, multiplied by the other lake developments in Union County. “But we’re here today to express a desire to expand our involvement in the community,” said Daugherty. “We are looking especially for opportunities to help the kids,” said Breder. “Several of us ‘full-timers’ here at Hickory Pointe and, I’m sure, the retired people all over the county, want to keep occupied, keep our minds sharp, and we’re at a point in our life when we can give back and try to make a difference.” Lammers says, “We’re here and we are available, and we hope the school system will accept us as tutors and volunteers. “We need a structured plan so that we know what we can do for the community.” Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
held back in life by an inability to pay college tuition,” said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean. “One of the best parts of the program is the mentorship it will provide to high school seniors. I am issuing a challenge to all Metro employees, as well as employees at businesses and organizations throughout Nashville, to sign up as a mentor and truly make a difference in the life of a young Nashvillian.” While Nashville needs 325 volunteer mentors, Union County doesn’t need so many. But each is important. Mentor training at Union County High School is 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, Branton said. Mentors should apply via the website or may contact either Branton or
Jennifer DeFoe at the high school (992-5232). The program was founded in 2008 by Randy Boyd, primary owner of Pet Safe. Students must agree to complete at least eight hours of community service each semester while in the program. “tnAchieves has a proven record of providing the support that ultimately leads to increased post-secondary access, retention and completion,” Gov. Bill Haslam said. “Only 32 percent of our state’s adult population has a post-secondary degree, and if we are going to have graduates ready to fill the available jobs, programs such as tnAchieves are going to help Tennesseans earn degrees and meet the demands of the marketplace.”

Union County can capitalize on “what we’ve got” to boost the local economy. That’s the message Mayor Mike Williams brought to the board of the Union County Chamber on Tuesday. Williams showed road signs and promotional materials for Route 66, the pre-interstate connector from Chicago to Los Angeles, and said Union County leaders should “hit another gear” in tourism promotion. “That includes my office, too,” said Williams. “We can all do more. We can raise the level (of promotion).” He floated the idea of retro service stations with old signs for the Gulf, Shell and Union 76 stations now operating on Maynardville’s six-mile Main Street. He mentioned a Thunder Road car show or 5k race. Mostly, Williams said, “ideas should come from inside” Union County. “We’ve got so much to be proud of, and there’s so much more to do.” He wants to invest county money into small projects to avoid the “strings” that come with grants.

“People here in Union County have been awfully good to us,” says Sam Daugherty. Daugherty, a Realtor, and retirees Dave Breder and Tom Lammers of the Hickory Pointe Homeowners Association sat down with me recently at their clubhouse (over a very tasty lunch from the new restaurant in Maynardville, Lil Joe’s). “We really appreciate our neighbors who work with us on our projects. We use local contractors for our maintenance. This year we (the homeowners association) have spent $60,000 on erosion control and clubhouse maintenance, and we’re very happy with the quality of the work,” said Breder.

Giving through gardening By Libby Morgan Gibbs High students Hannah Crawford and Stephanie Doyal are wrapping up a season of learning. Both readily admit they didn’t know a lot about growing food, but they’ve done a bang-up job planting and tending a garden full of food … to give away. The two are active participants in the Corryton Hospitality Food Pantry, a consortium of churches in the area who gather every Thursday to distribute food from various sources. And this year, for the first time, the freshest food at the pantry came from a few hundred feet away in the garden Crawford and Doyal have grown. “We had a lot of help. We
visited the Beardsley Farm and got some lessons. And our church has lots of farmers, so we had help and advice from them,” says Doyal. “The green beans did great. And now the okra is coming in. We’re looking at planting turnip greens and continuing the garden into the fall,” adds Crawford. Recipients of pantry food have been invited all season to pick what they want from the garden. The garden is a project for the pair’s Girl Scout Gold Awards, equivalent to the Eagle Scout award for Boy Scouts. Bob Martin, who oversees the pantry, says, “These girls are good kids who have followed through with their project.”

Do you want to know why? UNION COUNTY CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC now offers DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND & NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES to differentiate spinal problems from carpal/tarsal tunnel syndromes.
Discomfort from a headache can range from the excruciating pain of a migraine to the dull annoyance of a run-of-the-mill type. The American Chiropractic Association estimates that some 90 percent of Americans at some point suffer from some type of headache. Studies have found chiropractic treatment to be effective in dealing with headaches. But there are steps you can take to hold headaches at bay. The ACA recommends exercise. Low-impact exercise can help relieve the pain. If your work requires you to sit for long stretches at a computer or some other kind of machine, you can develop joint irritation and muscle tension, particularly in the scalp, neck, shoulders and upper back. Get up every 30 minutes or so and move your shoulders and neck. Dehydration can also lead to headache. Drink at least eight eight-ounce glasses of water each day. Another key component in headaches is what are called “triggers.” When one comes on, try to recall what you were doing and what the environment was just before the headache started. Light, noise and even certain foods can be triggers. Obviously, if you can identify any triggers in your life, you can take steps to avoid them. Talk with your chiropractor to see how he or she can help you with your headache problem.
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.

opinion Clark reads book, goes to movies Casual voters have no idea how close the 2012 Presidential election was. Even I didn’t know, and I’m a political junkie.
Sandra Clark
“What Went Wrong,” by Jerome Corsi, breaks down what he calls “the GOP debacle of 2012” and offers advice to Republicans for future elections. While I disagree with many of Corsi’s conclusions, I appreciate his analysis. Follow along: The Electoral College has 538 electors with 270 electoral votes required to win the presidency. Barack Obama started
with 55 electoral votes from California and 29 from New York, “for a total of 84 electoral votes without any necessity to campaign in either state,” Corsi writes. Both parties labeled states as “blue” or “red,” thus eliminating states where the presidential candidate would have to campaign. While analysts differed, Corsi said the consensus was that Obama entered the 2012 race with 251 electoral votes in states where Romney had no chance of winning; Romney had191. “For all practical purposes, the presidential election of 2012 was reduced from the start to the seven swing states,” Corsi writes. Those states were: Nevada (6 electoral votes), Colorado (9), Iowa (6), Ohio (18), Virginia (13), North Carolina (15) and Florida (29). Romney lost six of the

make him 105 years old at present. He may, however, be older than that by several years, as the age at the bill of sale of a slave, like that of a horse is always placed as low as possible.” You will note that the sale took place in Grainger County because Union County had not yet been established. A few years after being bought by John Chesney, Pharaoh married a “yellow girl named Onie, who was the property of his master.” He had two sons and a daughter by her and lived with them during the remainder of his slave days. When freed, his family left their master; but Pharaoh refused to leave and remained with Mr. Chesney until his death. He then moved to a cabin behind his son, Henry’s, house. It is said that Henry had a nice house, but Uncle Ferry preferred his cabin. Onie had died while he was still with Mr. Chesney. The Journal described the location of his cabin as “on top of Copper Ridge about four miles from Luttrell.” This is confusing because we think of Copper Ridge as being in Knox County. I do not have a topographical map of Union County, but if this is the case, Copper Ridge runs to the Bull Run/ Luttrell communities.

Classic Vols get their own posters
In an almost perfect tie-in to the new football season, Food City will offer almost free posters celebrating the past.
Marvin West
The series is called Classic Vols and features quarterback Dewey Warren, running back Johnnie Jones, receiver Larry Seivers and safety Tim Priest. The artwork is spectacular. Primary colors are orange and white. Food City will award posters, one at a time, beginning with Jones on and after Sept. 1, to customers who purchase one of these or two of those from its core group of products. As you may have heard before, see the stores for details.
The project will be officially introduced with a press event on Friday at the Deane Hill (Morrell Road) Food City at 2:30, prior to the first Big Orange pep rally. The posters have potential beyond collectibles. They will create the almost perfect opportunity for adults to instruct little people about interesting personalities and the wonderful things the Volunteers accomplished back before the crash. Warren was the most colorful quarterback in Tennessee history. His nickname, Swamp Rat, puts him at the top of that class. Dewey, new on the job, reported to his first huddle without his hard hat. Dewey was the focal point of the hit hymn, “Hum that tater.” Dewey, slow as he was, made the historic one-yard run that defeated UCLA in the “Rosebonnet” bowl. The statute of limitations allows me to tell you this: Dewey was CEO of the play-
Dewey was promoter of Richmond Flowers’ famous summer races against a quarter horse. I do believe the Swamp Rat was the only one to bet against the horse. Incidentally, Warren was

dropped: “As long as you please to do right.” That is sort of how the world began, isn’t it? Adam and Eve in a beautiful garden, cared for, fed, visited by the Creator who walked with them and fellowCross shipped with them in the Currents garden in the cool of the Lynn evening. They were given Hutton free rein – no rules – except for one caveat: Don’t eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Which they promptly did, my classroom.” We students looked at of course. Sometimes I wonder why each other, wide-eyed, absolutely dumbstruck by the Lord God did not shut such a statement. We were down the whole experiment too young and naïve to an- right then and there. It is, ticipate the caveat that was I suppose, proof that God coming. Hoo-boy, we were loves this little whirling blue orb, and all the creatures on thinking, this is different! Then the other shoe it that God exercised for-
bearance and forgiveness. Instead of calling the whole thing off, God gave Adam and Eve clothes and sent them out into the wide world to make their own living. Centuries later, Isaiah warned the people of his generation of the wrath to come, describing the impending destruction as so utterly complete that there would not be fragments of pottery large enough to use to pull an ember from the fire or to dip water out of a cistern. But even with the disaster that was to befall Jerusalem, Isaiah offered hope: the Lord ultimately would be gracious. There would be adversity and affliction, yes, but God would be present as Teacher, to guide, to
instruct, to encourage. It was the responsibility of the people to listen to the Teacher, to pay attention, to follow the teaching, to heed the guidance, to accept the encouragement. “Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” (Isaiah 30: 2021 NRSV) That teaching – those words – are for us as well. Thanks be to God for that promise, and for all teachers everywhere.
er ticket-scalping business. He purchased teammates’ complimentary tickets at wholesale prices and sold retail to the admiring public. Fans bragged about buying from Warren.
This is the way Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: Because you put your trust in oppression and deceit, and rely on them; therefore this iniquity shall become for you like a break in a high wall, bulging out, and about to collapse, whose crash comes suddenly, in an instant; its breaking is like that of a potter’s vessel that is smashed so ruthlessly that among its fragments not a sherd is found for taking fire from the hearth, or dipping water out of the cistern. (Isaiah 30: 12-14 NRSV) School is back in session, at least in Knox County. Students and teachers alike are adjusting once again to the routine, learning names, making new friends, grumbling about the alarm clock.
I remember those days, as a student and as a teacher. And I remember, oh, so well, my 3rd-grade teacher who started the very first day of school by saying this: “You may do as you please in
esty is memorable: “I didn’t make any great plays. They just kept throwing me the football.” The idea for the Classic Vols series came from a what-if conversation between outstanding artist Danny Wilson and Jay Sokolow, senior vice president of the Tombras advertising group. Both have interests in Tennessee football. Wilson has a big-time artistic and technical touch. Maybe you have seen his caricatures of country music stars for the GAC Network. Bottom line: The Classic posters, each 12 by 18 inches, are almost perfect. I wish the set took up more wall space and I wish there were posters of so many other classic Volunteers, Steve Kiner, Jack Reynolds, Condredge Holloway, Bob Johnson … well, you get the idea. Maybe next year.
also a pretty good quarterback. Johnnie Jones’ magic moment was in 1983, that winning run against Alabama, 66 yards, long enough to transform Birmingham’s boisterous Legion Field into what sounded like a library. The multitude was stunned. The little pocket of orange fans grew disrespectfully loud. Johnnie was Tennessee’s first and second 1,000-yard rusher and the only tailback to have three 200-yard games. Wideout Larry Seivers will forever be remembered as the “good hands” Volunteer. It is no exaggeration to say if he could touch it, he would catch it. Catch of a lifetime beat Clemson, 1974. Back in 1968-70, safety Tim Priest set the school record for career interceptions (18). That the record still stands is amazing. As a senior and captain, Priest picked off three against Alabama. His mod-

Christa Hensley and her mom, Jane, learn about Food City School Bucks from coordinator Jo Defoe (at right) of the Maynardville store. Out of 90 stores in a three-state region, Union County schools received the most points in the first two years of the program, and second most last year. This earns a share of $600,000 given to schools in the region. Points are earned with purchases after the customer’s ValuCard is linked to the school.

Come to the water Where did the summer go? Perhaps you are asking the same question. And the end of summer brings about one thing: Fr. Aaron Wessman going back to school! For a few weeks now the blinking lights on the highway marking the school zone speed limit and the looming presence of buses indicate that students are hard at their studies for another year. But going back to school, or for some, going for the first time, can be a scary thing. Any parent who has watched their child walk up the stairs of the school bus for the first time knows this. And any young person stepping foot into the high school for the very first time knows how intimidating that can be. But to gain the benefits of going to school, both kids and their parents must take the risk of stepping out into new territory. Sometimes our lives of faith can be like this, too. In the letter to the Hebrews there is a great discussion on faith in the eleventh chapter. The
author states that through faith Abraham obeyed God and was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. Essentially, his faith called him to leave what he once knew, and venture into uncharted territory. God would bless him for doing so, but those first few steps would be scary. Just as parents must beckon their kids to take a chance and walk into a new year of school knowing that it might be scary and difficult, so God asks us to take chances in our lives of faith. Sometimes we are simply asked to pick up our Bible for the first time. Sometimes we are asked to be honest with someone knowing that it might hurt. Sometimes we are asked to enter a church for the first time, not knowing what the experience will be like. God is calling us all in faith to take a chance. He wants to give us so many wonderful things, but we must be willing to take that first step in following His voice. Fr. Aaron Wessman, Associate Pastor, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Mission, 4365 Maynardville Hwy. 992-7222
