With the federal government shut down and a debt crisis looming, perhaps we should kick in to buy copies of Jon Meacham’s 2012 biography of Thomas Jefferson for the members of Congress. In 1800, with President John Adams running for a second term, opposed by Vice President Thomas Jefferson, the Electoral College vote tied, and the House of Representatives went to 39 ballots before naming Jefferson the winner. Talk about gridlock!

For some strange reason, gamecocks do not sound as dangerous as crazy gators and wounded bulldogs past and red elephants and terrible tigers yet to come. Load the cannon for South Carolina.

Good business For the first time in 25 years, Quality Label & Tag CEO Jim Jennings was offered a rate reduction in his company’s health insurance premiums. Quality Label, located a block off Clinton Highway, makes pressure-sensitive labels for a wide variety of locally produced products. When meat packers Selecto, Valleydale and Lay’s were in business, Jennings worked as many as 30 employees on two shifts. Times are tougher now, but he still takes pride in providing good benefits, so he took the insurance offer – for now – to reduce the tab for covering his 17 employees and their dependents.

Heritage Fest By Libby Morgan
October 12, 2013
biggest ever
The unusually hot weather last Saturday brought out a record crowd to the ninth annual Heritage Festival, according to estimates by Jack and Marie Rhyne and J.V. Waller, veterans of the festival steering Marie Rhyne committee. “We had people parking everywhere we could find a parking spot. We’ve never had to use that much of our parking areas,” said festival director Marie Rhyne. “Jack and J. V. think we had 5,000 visitors. I’m estimating a little higher. The setup went fairly smooth, with many of our vendors setting up the day before. That helped a lot. “Heading up the festival is hard, it’s tiresome, it’s exciting. I had a lot of help and I always have had a lot of help, and that’s what makes it successful,” she said. Marie is compiling the results of the vendor surveys, and the festival committee will meet next week to discuss details and improvements for next year, the tenth for the Union County Heritage Festival. “I like to do this while it’s fresh on our minds.” Derek Haun hefts a hay bale over the 10-foot mark at the Union County Heritage Festival Hillbilly Olympics to win first prize.

Mondays with Oak Grove By Libby Morgan The old Oak Grove School in Sharps Chapel is getting a new lease on life thanks to many hours of volunteer labor since the restoration began three years ago. Preservation Union County, a group of citizens concerned about the county’s historic structures, is working with East Tennessee Preservation Alliance to help fund the project and to proceed properly in order to retain the original design. Through the building’s designation by the ETPA as an Endangered Heritage, attention to the 1934 school has focused on stabilization and preservation. Work completed so far has included cleanup, removal of overgrowth and repair of the foundation. Three Mondays this month are window repair days, with retirees from TVA volunteering along with neighbors and friends. Last week, Union County historian Bonnie Peters, who also serves as a board member of ETPA, joined former co-workers from her days as a TVA employee and several others as the group scraped and painted the original window frames. Chef Walter Lambert showed up at lunchtime with a beans and sausage dish. Others brought cornbread, cookies and cake. The building is a Rosenwald school, built just after the Great

Julius Rosenwald, an owner of Sears and Roebuck, funded a foundation in 1917 which supported a program that built over 5,000 schools in the Southeast. Today only about 15 percent of the
original “Rosenwalds” survive. Oak Grove is an apropos site for the headquarters of Preservation Union County, and the group plans to make the school available for classes and community meetings.
“All are welcome to join us in our work,” says Peters. “We plan to work the next two Mondays, Oct. 14 and Oct. 21, beginning at 9 a.m.”

Riding like animals By Libby Morgan It was a triple-great day for the Union County Humane Society: The weather was bike-riding perfect, the bikers were riding to help animals, and the shelter raised over $5,300 for expenses. The motorcyclists began their ride at the shelter on Hickory Star Road and had a scenic 85-mile ride up through Tazewell, over to 11W on 25E, ending back in Maynardville at Li’l Jo’s BBQ. “We gave away more than $1,800 in prizes, including a grand prize of $250 cash, to our riders,” says Linda McKinnis. “Ride Like an Animal” is scheduled each year for the first Saturday in October, with a rain date a couple of weeks later.

Insurance option is ‘good business’ By Betty Bean For the first time in 25 years, Quality Label & Tag CEO Jim Jennings was offered a rate reduction in his company’s health insurance premiums.

For many years Jennings paid 100 percent of premiums. Recently, he has required his employees to chip

in 10 percent so they would have “skin in the game.” Now, he has a new decision. “I can sit right here and do nothing and we can keep what we got,” he said. “When we first started, I could insure a family of four for $365 a month. Now, it’s $1,600, (about $9 an hour).” Jennings can negotiate this year because of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). “I went to people in the insurance business and heard what they had to say, the pros and the cons, and took the information to my accountant,” he said, holding up a multi-page application form for the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit, in effect since 2010. It is available to businesses that employ fewer than 25 people whose average annual salaries are less

than $50,000 (the salaries of Jennings and his partner, Clifton Beeler, are excluded from these calculations). If Jennings opts to go through the federal exchange, he can get a maximum credit of 50 percent for premiums paid to a qualified health care plan offered through the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Marketplace. The credit can be carried back or forward to other tax years, and businesses whose premium pay-

ment is more than the total credit can claim a business expense deduction. Jennings calls the new insurance option “a good business decision,” and said the savings will enable him to offer workers a raise. “It’s been hard times, and I don’t even have anybody come in here and ask for a raise. They just know. People feel lucky just to have a job. And with this 50 percent tax credit, we can get some money away from insurance companies to elevate the salaries of working people.” Jennings, 71, and his two siblings, were raised in North Knoxville and Western Heights by a single mother who worked hard to barely get by. He dropped out of high school to join the U.S. Army in 1962, and joined the 82nd Airborne Division, making extra money as a paratrooper. He earned his GED while on active duty. He has strong convictions and has been known to take chances on new hires with troubled backgrounds. While he believes that taking the tax credit is smart, he also believes it’s the right thing to do. “I think health care is
a right. Others think it’s a privilege. … I’ve got two principles I live by: You’re living – let others. And if it doesn’t make sense, get away from it. Do what’s right.” Harry Tindell, a former state legislator who earned bipartisan respect in Nashville for his financial and budgetary expertise, is the insurance broker Jennings consulted. Tindell said the composition of Jennings’ workforce – all male with a mix of older and younger workers – makes it wellsuited to benefit from the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit. “There are winners and losers in this, as with everything,” Tindell said. “A lot of it depends on how healthy your employees are. … Rates are going up for young people, down for older people.” But at the same time, come January, there’ll be lower deductibles and capped out-of-pocket costs, Tindell said. “What we’re doing is giving individuals better coverage as a class – postponed for a year for bigger businesses. And if you’re sick and have a modest or average income, you’re going to benefit.”

Enjoy Spurrier while you can Tennessee, in search of the elusive signature victory, faces another scary outing in the SEC jungle. For some strange reason, gamecocks do not sound as dangerous as crazy gators and wounded bulldogs past and red elephants and terrible tigers yet to come.
Marvin West
Load the cannon for South Carolina. One more shot at Steve Superior, oops, Spurrier is promising. Without even trying, Steve reminds me of Mac Davis’ great song line, “Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way.� Successful football coaches sometimes get so full of themselves, directing a team and holding fans in the palm of their hands just isn’t enough. They become mini-dictators. Let’s use the very successful Spurrier as an example. Three years ago, the ol’ ball coach was deciding who could and could not ask questions at press conferences. The power grab peaked this summer. Spurrier plucked and discarded one of the perceived thorns that had been needling him. Columnist Ron Morris of The State, the newspaper in Columbia, S.C., was ordered by his publisher, Henry Haitz III, to never again write or talk publicly about the Gamecocks. Go annoy Clemson. It was a journalistic restraining order. Observers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Spurrier had persuaded good friend Haitz to choke a critic. Freedom of the press was lost. The coach smirked. The story sprouted wings. Haitz didn’t like the feedback. He eventually rescinded his edict. Spurrier smirked again and went back to throwing visors. Every other year I think this might be Steven Orr Spurrier’s last visit to Tennessee. He is a high-mileage 68 years old, many times a millionaire with nothing left to prove. We are completely convinced he can coach. He has been everywhere and done it all. He has lived in Athens, Newport
Machine in motion
and Johnson City, played golf at Augusta and been married to the same pretty Jerri for 47 years. Steve performed brilliantly in high school, won the Heisman Trophy at Florida and twice absconded with significant NFL loot, a stunning amount for disappointing careers as a back-up San Francisco quarterback and miscast leader of the Washington Redskins. As Florida coach, he was great. He directed the Gators to a national title and changed the way we look at college football. He switched quarterbacks willy-nilly. His team presented something called fun ’n gun which meant they threw when they were supposed to run and scored far more than necessary. Sometimes Spurrier took it too far. He whipped up on Tennessee and scattered a lot of bratty sarcasm. He was a particular pain for Phillip Fulmer. In older age, Spurrier has transformed South Carolina into a championship contender, lifting it higher than it has previously been. I suppose he enjoys the distinction, power and perks. Spurrier receives $3.55 million but no longer accepts football raises. He says he is embarrassed by how much he makes. He is not flawless. Steve isn’t much for accepting blame. He still gets red-faced when breaks go against him. Now and then he tosses a player or assistant coach under the proverbial bus. He was so bad on a recent TV show, some friends and foes thought he was impaired. That is code for hung over. Producers cancelled reruns and removed the show from public accessibility. That did not eliminate the smirk. Spurrier looks as if he knows stuff he isn’t telling. Maybe he is laughing inside because his job is not as tough as we all pretend. Do you think he is a workaholic? Do you believe he keeps going over game film until he falls asleep on the office couch? Down deep, I like the guy. He is entertaining. He can bring tears with a hokey pre-game pep talk. He is capable of extended pleas with officials when he knows he is wrong. See him at the big stadium. He is worth at least half the cost of admission. An upset knockout by the Vols would be worth much more.
With the federal government shut down and a debt crisis looming, perhaps we should kick in to buy copies of Jon Meacham’s 2012 biography of Thomas Jefferson for the members of Congress. In 1800, with President John Adams running for a second term, opposed by Vice President Thomas Jefferson, the Electoral College vote tied, and the House of Representatives went to 39 ballots before naming Jefferson the winner. Talk about gridlock! During the prolonged and intense political machinations, Adams and Jefferson met by chance. Both had just learned of Jefferson’s win in New York and knew it could tip the election to Jefferson. Adams said if that happened, he would “be as faithful a subject as any you will have.� Jefferson’s recollection of his response was thus: “Mr. Adams, this is no personal contest between you and me. Two systems of principles on the subject of gov-

ernment divide our fellow citizens into two political parties. With one of these you concur, and I with the other.

Were we both to die today, tomorrow two other names would be in the place of ours, without any change in the motion of the machine. “Its motion is from its principles, not from you or myself.� In other words, it’s not personal. The motion of the machine continues.
Union County Commission will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, at the courthouse. Last week’s Budget and Finance Committee was dismissed when a quorum failed to show. Union County school board will meet at 6 p.m. for a workshop with meeting to follow on Thursday, Oct. 17, at Union County High School.
It’s good Maynardville City Manager Jack Rhyne said he polled businesses inside the city to gauge their benefit from last week’s Heritage Festival. “Subway said they were bombarded. Booker’s was up. Kay’s Market was up. Even the Shell station was up,� said Rhyne. His only concern was with El Mariachi Mexican Restaurant. Seems they said, “Si, mucho!� and Jack had trouble understanding.
Day trip: Coal mining camps It is unusual for me to veer too far from writing about Union County, but last week I was invited to take a day trip to Stearns, Ky. I must admit it was a pleasant distraction from my usual routine. The fall leaves will be at their peak just about the time you read this, so this is a delightful time to make this trip. Stearns, which is just across the Tennessee line above Oneida, was founded in 1902 by a man named Justis Stearns. His initial land purchase was 30,000 acres to begin a coal mining and lumber operation. This eventually grew to a land holding of 200 square miles. The mining and lumber businesses operated until the 1970s. This land was subsequently purchased by the United States Forest Service for the establishment of Big South Fork National Recreation Area. The reference to Big South Fork is that it is the big south fork of the Cumberland River. The now antique train that hauled coal and lumber to market as well as workers to and from the mines is now known as the Big South Fork Railway and it runs seasonally to the mi,nes as a tourist attraction. Reservations are required. There are two departure times on most operating days, and from

this area, driving time will take at least two and a half hours with time to pick up your ticket. You can take your lunch or purchase a reserved box lunch at the station. The train ride takes three hours, stopping at the Blue Heron Interpretive Center for lunch. A replica of this mining camp has been reconstructed as ghost houses (no walls for the structures) with recordings by people who lived it, giving the history of the structures such as the company store. It is interesting that the mining camp schools operated year -round. According to Stearns, this is not a new concept. The Stearns School, built in 1919 to house grades one through 12, still operates as Stearns Elementary School! The three-hour, 16-mile train trip winds through deep forest and has breathtaking views as the train passes along the ravines and through the gorges. The hearts-a

bustin-with love, fall asters and goldenrod were showing their colors and the dogwood and sumac have turned red. By the time you read, this the forest will be ablaze with all its finery. Upon our return from the train ride, we went to the Coal Mining Museum, which is walking distance from the train station. Since many East Tennesseans worked in coal mines, including the Turners of Union County – Ura, Lemuel and Mittus – and others, it is a good education about how some of our ancestors earned a living. By all means, go if you can. This would also be a wonderful school trip. Info: www.BSFSRY.com or 1-800-462-5664.

Tressa Graves releases new book By Jake Mabe A few years ago, I told you about Halls novelist Tressa Graves, who specializes in mysteries of the macabre. Graves has released a new book, “The Sawgrass Footpath.” “It’s about a doctor who leaves Virginia and moves to Tampa, Fla., after his mom and dad are brutally murdered,” Graves says. “”It turns out that the house he buys Graves has a cult thing going on (in it) and the man who owned it before was the doctor he is replacing, who was also murdered.” She says the book is age appropriate for adults 18 and older and includes some adult language. It is currently available in e-book form for $8.50 at Graves’ website
(www.tressagraves.com) or at Amazon.com. Graves says the book can be downloaded to any computer because it is an Adobe file, so one does not need to own an e-reader to buy it. A sample chapter is available at the website. Those who purchase her book through her website will also receive a free e-copy of her new short story, “Rachel’s Widow.” “That (the short story) is the most enjoyable writing I’ve ever done. The story takes you into another world.” Graves says the novel will be released in paperbound form at a later date and that plans are already in the works for a sequel. Graves has embraced social media. She interacts with readers on her Facebook page and her website. She also received a certificate of appreciation from the second annual Warrior Transition Battalion (Wounded Warriors) Run, held April 11 in El Paso,

Texas. It’s a group to which she contributes in part because of one of her readers, Darrell G. Mond. She is also asking fans to create a YouTube video and upload it to her website telling her how they enjoy the book. The winner will receive an autographed copy. About as close as I usually get to this genre is the tame 1960s ABC-TV daytime drama “Dark Shadows,” Alfred Hitchcock movies or a few Stephen King novels. But, I have to tell you that Tressa’s book has me on the edge of my seat, heart pumping, pulse pounding, waiting to see what happens next. “When it comes to scaring people, I think I know what I’m doing.” Graves can be contacted through her agent, Derek Spratley, at dlspratley@aol.com or through manager Sam Hamilton at wfg hamilton@gmail.com.

October is chiropractic health month Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Chiropractors, of course, are always interested in promoting good health. October, though, gets some special attention as National Chiropractic Health Month. This year’s theme, as set by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), is “Get Vertical.” It’s an exhortation to people to get off the couch or out of the office chair and move around a bit. The ACA emphasizes joint health in this campaign because joints are critical to all movement; they allow us to go about our normal activities. According to the
ACA, some 150 million to 200 million cases of back pain send people to the doctor every year – and many of those are related to joint injuries. So the more we can move joints through their full range of motion during the day, the better off we will be in the long run. Joints, the ACA points out, are not supplied directly with blood but are lubricated with synovial fluid that is forced into the joint cartilage through pressure resulting from body movement. The saying “use it or lose it” particularly pertains
to our joints. “Staying healthy can feel overwhelming, when just a few healthy lifestyle changes over time can potentially mean the difference between being scheduled for joint replacement surgery or remaining active and pain-free well into one’s golden years,” said ACA President Keith Overland. Ask your chiropractor for suggestions on how you can “Get Vertical.” Brought to you as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, TN; 992-7000.
