Apple pickin’
Up on the mountain where the horizons are below you and the sunsets will wear you out, trees are so loaded with apples you can literally hear them groan. The trees are compensating for the past two years of fruitlessness, with late frosts giving the old trees a respite. I was lucky enough to be up there for a cider pressing.

Best of times Next week is an open date. Open dates are great. Tennessee almost never loses. Time off from regularly scheduled programming offers the opportunity to catch up with burning issues, whether to pay college football players by the hour, game or touchdown, whether they will unionize and go on strike if no cash is forthcoming and whether Arian Foster committed heresy in admitting he received under-the-table tacos as a Volunteer.

Battle re-enactment to be held at B Ft. Sanders replica site

Fun at Hogskin I figured out that the performance location has a lot to do with the name of the band. I’ve seen announcements such as “Tim Buckner and Friends,” but Saturday the group was Clinch Mountain Drifters with Tim on Bass, Burl Wynn on guitar, and vocalist Alvis Pugh, whose stage name is “Hank.”

Catholic faith series in October Each Tuesday in October, leaders of the Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Mission will give informative talks about the Catholic Church at the mission. The hour-long talks will begin at 7 p.m. and will cover topics such as the history of the church, the Bible and sacraments. On Tuesday, Oct. 22, Seminarian William Obiero from Kenya will speak about the religion’s diversity across the world and how Kenyans express their Catholicism. The series is titled “Curious About Catholics.” Refreshments will be available.
Nestled on Smiley Clapp’s 150acre Corryton farm is a perfect piece of Civil War paraphernalia. And, no, I’m not talking about a cannon. Built in 2007, the northwest bastion of Fort Sanders (originally located near 17th Street on the UT campus and lost in the
early 1900s) has been replicated to scale. It’s a sight you have to see. Clapp says that famed “Heartland Series” producer Steve Dean was looking for land free of power lines and houses that resembled the Fort Sanders of the 1860s to shoot a video for McClung Museum. Blalock Construction had

knows, it is the only built-to-scale earth fort in the United States. Re-enactors started holding an annual event at the site in 2008. It will be the host of Knox County’s official observance of the 150th anniversary of The Battle of Fort Sanders Thursday to Sunday, Oct. 10-13. (The actual battle took place on Nov. 29, 1863.) Thursday and Friday mornings are reserved for school group tours. On Friday afternoon (Oct. 11), the site is free and open to the public for lectures, presentations and military demonstrations about East Tennessee’s participation in the war. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will officially recognize the battle’s anniversary during a short ceremony at 4 p.m. A brass band will play Civil War-era instruments and Dan Patterson, the great-great-grandson of Confederate Gen. James Longstreet, who commanded the Rebel forces during the battle, is scheduled to attend. Re-enactments of the Battle of Fort Sanders and The Battle of Campbell’s StaJulie Graham and Neva Kitts of the Chamber and Ranger Sarah Nicley, along with Fred Graham (behind the camera) made up a small crew at Blue Mud on Public Lands Day to clean up the Norris Lake shoreline near Big Ridge State Park.
Volunteer Star nominations sought Nominations for the annual Governor’s Volunteer Stars Award are now being accepted from all areas of Union County. This award celebrates the efforts of those volunteers who strive to improve their communities through service. One youth and one adult volunteer will be selected to receive this award and will
be recognized at the Union County Chamber of Commerce banquet on Feb. 7, 2014. Later in the month the honorees are invited to Nashville to be among recipients from all 95 counties in Tennessee to be honored by Gov. Bill Haslam at the Governor’s Volunteer Stars ceremony. Nominees will be judged based on the community’s
need of the volunteer service performed, initiative taken to perform the service, creativity used to solve a community problem and the impact of the service on the community. Nomination forms are available at the Chamber weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1001 Main Street in Maynardville. All nominations must be received at the Chamber by Dec. 1.

Admission to the re-enactments is $8 for adults. Children under 6 are admitted free. Families with four or more members pay a maximum of $30. Admission is good for both days. The event will be held rain or shine. This will be the final year of the re-enactment. Organizers expect the event to draw the largest number of re-enactors in its history. The 20-minute battle on Nov. 29, 1863 was a disaster for the Confederates, which had 813 casualties to the U.S. Army’s 13. The official Civil War Sesquicentennial event is sponsored by The Knoxville Civil War Roundtable, Lincoln Memorial University, WBIR-TV, The Civil War Courier, The Camp Chase Gazette, The Citizen’s Companion and the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture.
Heritage festival player, the Jim Woods Group, Terry Myers, and Ralph Shick will also entertain at Wilson Park. Free drawings for prizes will go on much of the day. The Heritage Olympics will pit contestants against each other in sports such as seed-spitting, skillet toss, hay bale toss and 50-lb. feed bag throw at the ballfield next to the park. The UT Extension office will hold a pie contest. “We will announce the winners early in the day, then we’ll slice up the pies and sell them during the festival,” says Rebecca Hughes, UT Extension agent. The regular Saturday morning Union County Farmers Market will be on the festival grounds. Wayne Roach is heading up an antique tractor and farm equipment show and swap meet, new this year to the festival. The museum will host a quilt show, an author’s table, and live music.

Fun at Hogskin Hogskin History Day is a day where I always have a great fun. I visited with and watched Marcia Phelps spin, talked with and watched FCE’s Mary Lou Burch bottom a chair and my very favorite stop – a young woman, Cynthia Whitney, churning butter. She passed out samples of whole wheat bread and fresh butter. The home-made bread and butter were heavenly. My table was near the stage so I heard lots of good music. I figured out that the performance location has a lot to do with the name of the band. I’ve seen announcements such as “Tim Buckner and Friends,” but Saturday the group was Clinch Mountain Drifters with Tim on Bass, Burl Wynn on guitar, and vocalist Alvis Pugh, whose stage name is “Hank.” Bob Wood, travelling 200 miles from the Nash-

This group consists of Guy Larry Osborne, guitar and vocals, Matt Bryant Chesney and Jon Larsen on Mandolin; Durant Thompson flute and vocalist was Narrow Ridge’s own Mitzi Wood Von Mizener, daugher of Bob Wood.

In addition to the mountains, Tammy has a heart and passion for seniors and many of her performances throughout Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia are singing for the residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Tammy belted out Gospel tunes such as “God on the Mountain” and “Amazing Grace” from her new CD, which was produced by Bruce Morey, owner of Mossy Creek Studio in Washburn. She concluded her part of the program by leading the lively audience in singing “Rocky Top.” Tammy is available to

to make it up from Florida for the Hogskin History Day and to hear their daughter onstage. At a spunky 85 years young, Margie’s latest hobby is making shammy cloth sweatbands and she had a little table set up to sell them at the event. It’s a neat idea to keep the sweat out of our eyes and they
are a big hit in the Florida heat. Margie had decorated the bands with machine embroidery, such as Washburn and Clinch Mountain to represent East Tennessee. Tammy and her family surely enjoy the events held at Narrow Ridge. The earth oven pizza was a big hit again this year.

The Knoxville Zoo recently tapped some unusual talent for its latest fundraiser, Art Gone Wild. The animals themselves – including rhinos, raccoons, beavers, penguins, elephants, zebras, gibbons, chimpanzees, gorillas, baboons, lions, tigers, red pandas and a variety of reptiles – did the paintings, which were then offered to art enthusiasts from all over East Tennessee. Tina Rolen, assistant director of marketing for the zoo, said that proceeds will go toward funding the zoo’s enrichment program, which focuses on the animals’ complete well-being. Daily mental and physical stimulation is provided by the use of interesting objects, scents and foods, and training and painting sessions. The program has the added benefit of improving the success of breeding programs.

Old Vols, bless them, pay the bill. Be reminded that Pat Shires, Gordon Polofsky, Gene Moeller and Bob Davis devoted many, many hours to transform a dream into this forever monument. ■ Sixty years ago student spirit was thought to be very, very weak at the University of Tennessee. With a goal of waking up the echoes and bringing down the thunder, the UT Pep Club conducted a contest to choose the school’s first mascot. The winner was a perfectly formed blu-
etick coonhound – friendly, active, intelligent. Tom Mattingly’s book about the Smokey lineage and what happened when is educational for the modern fan and a treasure for us old-timers. This is an unsolicited endorsement. ■ There is a movement among certain former athletes to capture a piece of the plump college pie. Focal point is the so-called Ed O’Bannon lawsuit about dollars changing hands between EA Sports, the NCAA, member institutions and Collegiate Licensing Company. Ed, the former UCLA basketball player, and others who joined this legal chase say everyone seems to be profiting from video games except the studentathletes, whose likenesses drive the large industry.
‘Blessed’ money So (the Pharisees) asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and you show deference to no one, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” But he perceived their craftiness and said to them, “Show me a denarius. Whose head and whose title does it bear?” They said, “The emperor’s.” He said to them, “Then give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were not able in the presence of the people to trap him by what he said; and being amazed by his answer, they became silent.

You have to declare the income, and then you can deduct your gifts to the church.” “Oh, no,” the man objected. “I gave that money
The NCAA severed affiliation with EA Sports and is trying to escape the net. Several current collegians, attracted to the idea of sharing loot, joined the suit. Off to the side is developing idea of boosting scholarships to cover the actual cost of going to school – an occasional date, iPhone 5, a full tank and sharper shoes. ■ Sharing proceeds with football and basketball players isn’t totally illogical. I do believe they are the game. But how about crosscountry runners, golfers and rowers who generate no revenue? At most schools, they live off football profits. Should they receive supplemental pay? Dare not exclude women who spend much but earn little. The feds have a law to defend.
The next development is the formation of the National College Players Association, an advocacy group founded by former UCLA football player Ramogi Huma. It wants value added to scholarships, better health care for college athletes and the removal of NCAA restrictions on parttime jobs. This group is not yet called a union but it looks and sounds like one. If it is a union but fails to negotiate significant gains, how far away is the first college football strike? An hour before kickoff? After the band plays the national anthem? What happens to poor little ESPN? And what happens to fans in this forthcoming conflict?
to the church. It is blessed money, and does not count as income.” Now, in my church tradition, the offering is received by the ushers, laid on the altar table, prayed over and blessed by God. So it is true that money given to the church is blessed and used for the furtherance of the Kingdom. Even so, it still counts as income when the tax collector comes around. Then you can deduct it. I am surprised, shocked, and, yes, disillusioned when a fellow American (especially one who claims to be a Christian) cheats on his taxes. I may be weird, but I have never objected to paying my taxes. I am blessed to be an American citizen. I have earned a reasonable living, and I have enjoyed the pro-
tection and services of a stable government. I have also, at times, claimed my right to criticize said government. Jesus’ point in his response to the Pharisees was that they owed their taxes to the much-hated Roman government, and that they also owed their tithes and their hearts and their souls and their very lives to God. It is a lesson we all need to hear and heed. As I write, our government has just shut down. (So much for a stable government!) My husband, however, assures me that October extensions are still due. So, perhaps the adage is true: the only sure and certain things in life are death and taxes! Well, death, taxes and the love, grace, and mercy of God.

NEWS FROM UNION COUNTY’S FARM FAMILIES
Fall gardening tips By Shannon Perrin October is a busy month in the garden says Jason Reeves, research horticulturist and garden curator at the University of Tennessee Gardens in Jackson, Tenn. Reeves’ tips for October include: ■ Now is a good time to plant trees and shrubs since dormant plants will be under less stress. Newly installed deciduous plants require almost no watering during the winter months, but don’t forget a thorough initial watering, which is paramount. Monitor newly g planted evergreens such as
junipers, hollies and arborvitae for watering needs if rain is sparse. Even in winter, a plant with leaves on it will transpire. Winter wind drying can hurt an evergreen tree that lacks sufficient moisture. ■ To make leaf removal less of a chore, rake them before they accumulate deeply. If you have a fescue lawn or moss garden, it is even more important to keep the leaves off of it. Compost or use them as mulch in your beds. You can also till them into your soil, and by spring they will be composted. Leaves on the p
lawn can be chopped with the lawnmower and left in place if not too deep. ■ Remember that seasonal mums are more valuable as compost than as “keep around plants” after they’ve faded. Don’t be tempted to plant them because even if they establish themselves, they rarely live up to your expectations the following year. Chrysanthemum “Clara Curtis,” “Ryan’s Yellow” and “Sheffield Pink” are good, reliable perennial cultivars that perform well and make good additions to the landscape. ■ October is the p pre-
ferred time to plant ornamental kale, Swiss chard and pansies. These are lovely additions to the fall and winter landscape, as well as being edible. Look for the winterbor and Russian kales as they are more reliable in cold weather than the kales known commonly as “flowering cabbage.” ■ Don’t forget to bring in your tropical plants and houseplants before frost. Many plants don’t like it when the temps drop into the 40s. ■ Wash your pumpkins, gourds and winter squash in a mild bleach solution before displaying or storing to help prevent rot. And most important, Reeves says, is to take time to sit back and enjoy the beauty of the season as temperatures cool and fall colors dazzle.
How ’bout them apples?
Up U p on on the th he mountain moun mo untta un tain tai in w where here her he thee ho h horizons rizons i are below you and d the sunsets will wear you out, trees are so loaded with apples you can literally hear them groan. The trees are compensating for the past two years of fruitlessness, with late frosts giving the old trees a respite.

(No matter if you show empty-handed, everyone shares in a tasting of the amber goodness.) Decades of cider-pressing experience by mountaineer Joe has led to an efficient assembly line: the apples come off the truck and get rinsed, picked over for leaves and pieces of branches and rinsed again. For a quicker run through the chipper, Joe has us cut the apples into chunks. With three or four of us

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Your feet are the foundation on which the body rests. Estimates are that the average person walks 10,000 steps a day. That comes out to five miles. Even a sedentary person, it’s estimated, walks 1,000 to 3,000 steps a day. The feet are a delicate network of ligaments, bones and tendons; they deserve the best support you can give them. The overall soundness of your biomechanical structure depends on them. Shoes that are excessively worn, too big, too small or inappropriate for a particular activity, will
keep your foot from rolling properly when you are in stride. If your feet are not rolling properly–weight transferring from the heel to the toes in a fluid motion–everything above is put at risk. You may feel it particularly in the ankles, knees, hips and back. When those parts of your body are not operating as they should, problems that might send you to a chiropractor can ensue. Shoes are designed for different kinds of activity, particularly those for athletics. Some are designed primarily for forward
movement, others for lateral as well as forward movement. Even if you’re not an athlete, you should wear flat, sturdy shoes that support your feet. In fact, check with your chiropractor the next time you are in the market to buy shoes. The American Chiropractic Association has recommendations for shoes that will help keep your feet healthy.

Come to the water “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” MT (5:9) My heart aches over all the violence in the world, including in my own backyard. Fr. Steve Pawelk War in Syria, shooting at the Navy Yard, two dead and two injured at a local business in Bean Station, and most recently, in Luttrell a neighbor shoots and kills his neighbor. What a sad litany of violence. Such violence affects those who died, their families, the families of the shooters, the communities where it occurs and the nations of the world. In the midst of my sorrow, I know that God will heal the wounds of the survivors, but their grief will leave deep scars. Furthermore, the Lord Jesus will forgive those responsible for the fatal shootings if they repent, yet the consequence of their actions remain. As for the rest of us, Paul reminds us that in the Body of Christ “If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it.” (1 Cor. 12:26) Therefore, as Christians we suffer
with everyone: the victims’ families and the shooters’ families. We suffer with the communities torn by war and those where security was lost in areas where they thought they were safe. It is like Jesus when he looks over Jerusalem and weeps. He saw the city and wept over it, saying “If this day you only know what makes for peace – but now it is hidden from your eyes.” (Luke 19:41-42) The suffering of Christ and the compassion of his heart lead to our salvation. Not even death could hold Him down as He rose on the third day. Jesus says, “if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (MT 17:20) Henceforth with faith in Jesus and filled with His Holy Spirit, we can move the mountain of violence into a valley of peace. If we are disciples of Jesus and committed to His gospel, it can be done!! Fr. Steve Pawelk, Pastor Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Mission, 4365 Maynardville Hwy. 992-7222
