Saluting Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam received a starspangled salute at the World War II Veterans Memorial last week. No, not the guy with the beard, this is a real person, a real hero, Halls guy Sam Hardman, who passed away at age 95 on Aug. 16.

Stinky As the season changes, pests seek shelter for the coming winter, and the brown marmorated stink bug is no exception. The brown marmorated stink bug is an invasive pest that feeds on many crops and ornamental plants during the growing season and then continues its pest status as it invades homes to overwinter, said Karen Vail, UT Extension urban entomologist.

A spider’s house It was an early morning, one of the first really cool mornings, when I first saw the web. The spider had spun her magic in the fence, and the dew had fallen on it, still hanging, in fact, like so many diamonds.

By Sandra Clark Beth Holloway lived just 29 years before succumbing to cystic fibrosis, but her memory lives on in the hearts of friends and family who rally every year for a memory walk and fundraiser to find a cure for the debilitating disease. The atmosphere at Wilson Park was festive for the sixth annual Memory Walk for Beth. Her mom, County Commissioner Janet Holloway, was clearly in charge, assisted by family members including Beth’s cousin, Tiffany Morgan. “This group is so amazing,” said Heather Perry, senior director of the East Tennessee Chapter of Cystic Fibrosis. “They are who we look to to fund a cure.” The Walk for Beth has raised $68,000 in five years and took in another $9,000 at the Oct. 12 event. “It’s like a family reunion,” said Vicki Atkins, whose husband, Ronnie, is Janet Holloway’s brother. She spent $400 for gift baskets last year and would not comment on this year’s investment.

The baskets were a high point with spirited bidding. One kid actually sat on a bid sheet, daring others to up her offer for a doll basket. (She won it.) Walkers in bright green shirts marched around Wilson Park. Kids enjoyed the bunny brought by Boy Scout Troop 401. The Scouts helped with logistics. Great food was available for lunch including a secret recipe sauce for pulled pork sandwiches and hot dogs fresh off the grill. Beth Holloway was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age six months, Vicki Atkins said. “She lived under a death sentence, but didn’t let that stop her from enjoying life.” Near the end, Beth got a dog so her mom would “have someone to look after.” That boxer, Sally Ann, was in her element at the memory walk. “I guess you would call this my grand-dog,” said Janet Holloway.

Jail medicine is budget-busting By Sandra Clark Sheriff Earl Loy Jr. and Union County Mayor Mike Williams are looking for a way to reduce the rapidly increasing cost of medical care for inmates in the county jail. The issue is almost at crisis point. Based on current spending, this fiscal year total could be $341,579 against a budgeted amount of $196,993. Williams distributed materials Oct. 15 to county commissioners, saying, “I’m giving you this packet tonight to look over. Let’s be sure we’re comparing apples to apples.” The packet contained information from a Chattanooga-based company, Southern Health Partners, which provides medical services for inmates in 14 states including Morgan County where Finance Director Ann Dyer has talked extensively with her counterpart, Gary Howard. Howard said costs in Morgan County ballooned from $150,000 11 years ago to a high of $253,000, according to Dyer. “Now his annual budget is $93,000 including

drugs and medical supplies.” Officials estimated Union County’s inmate population at 100 for purposes of the quote. Southern Health Partners offered two alternatives, $104,700 or $74,700 annually, based on the county’s exposure. Under the less expensive plan, the county would remain responsible for prescription medications, offsite medical and mental health, dental care and X-rays. A local firm also has proposed a plan to treat inmates. Williams asked commissioners to study the issue and be prepared to debate and vote at the November meeting. Dyer said Union County spent $229,803 in the fiscal year that ended June 30 for inmate drugs and medical services. Sheriff Loy and Officer Mike Butcher have attended at least two commission meetings on this topic. Each county is required to attend to the medical needs of inmates. Williams said it’s a growing problem across the state.

‘Give Where You Live’

Foundation seeks momentum with new advisors By Libby Morgan

A “Friends-Raising” for the Union County Community Foundation was held last week to infuse new ideas and connections from a more diverse and larger advisory board. Three members were added: Neva Kitts, Bill Rollins and this writer. Existing advisory board members attending the meeting were Stewart Oakes, Steve Thompson, J.V. Waller, K. David Myers and chair Eddie Perry. Thompson explained that the most important immediate goal is to raise awareness of the foundation, and a great way to reach out to the community is to have advisory members from more walks of life, such as Rollins as a representative of veterans. Trudy Hughes, regional development director of the East Tennessee Foundation, which is the managing agency of similar foundations for a 25-county area, spoke about how ETF can provide assistance to the local foundation. “We of ETF are here to help … with advice, with fundraising ideas, with grant writing, and with investments to grow funds.

a big boost to the funds we manage,” said Hughes. Earlier this year, UCCF provided grants totaling $3,830 to four departments at the high school. The money has been used to purchase a computer program for the band, art supplies, tennis equipment, research books and textbooks, and a program to supplement the animal science curriculum. Close to 30 teachers applied for the funds, and Jackie Erlbacher, former vice chair of UCCF, said, “Every one of the applications was more than worthy. It was very difficult to choose among them. We wanted to fulfill all of the requests, but we were limited to a few by the amount available.” During the first year of the foundation, funds were given to send children to 4-H camp, to help restore the Oak Grove school building, and to support the Heritage Festival. Perry said, “We are encouraging Union Countians to ‘Give Where You Live’ to make our community a better place.” Opportunities abound for enhancing personal and community development.

Jane Fowler, program manager for East Tennessee River Valley Geotourism, spoke Tuesday at the board meeting of the Union County Chamber of Commerce. The organization works in partnership with the National Geographic Society to promote tourism that is “authentic and environmentally friendly.” She urged Union County to protect those things that make the county unique. “As an area grows, there’s more environmental impact,” she said. “If we’re not careful, we’ll lose what makes us special.” Fowler said several states have begun “green hospitality” initiatives to promote environmental programs at hotels and restaurants. She asked business leaders to check out the website tennesseevalleygeotourism. org and to update folks on

festivals and the like. “Anyone can add events there, but then you have to promote them,” she said. Travelers are looking for authentic experiences and will travel to see them. “We had 848,000 clicks on a site page over 22 months,” she said of the website. “And in July 2014, we had at least one visitor from 142 countries (booked through the website). “It’s a very robust tool to aggregate information for planning a vacation.”

Kids get ‘hands on’ with emergency vehicles By Sandra Clark It’s like being a kid again to walk through the display of emergency vehicles and hear the tales of rescue workers – most all volunteers – who give their time and even risk their lives to help their neighbors. The weather was perfect and the displays awesome at the Union County High School parking lot on Oct. 12. Bob Swisher brought kids aboard Dana Simerly’s rescue boat, showing the place for a stretcher, the step for climbing up out of the water and the spot where a fire cannon can be mounted. “It was originally owned by a fire department and had a fire cannon there,� he pointed. “The boat is very stable, very fast and very safe because there is no propeller.� Always a hit with kids (and their people) is Ranger Sarah Nicley who scampered in with her kit of pelts and skulls. She had a silky mink pelt. Who knew minks were native to East Tennessee? “They are like a little otter,� she explained. “They are very solitary – hard to see in the wild.� She pointed to the mink’s skull, showing sharp, pointy teeth – sure sign of a carnivore. A beaver’s pelt was thick to the touch – insulated so that water can’t reach the beaver’s skin. The beaver’s skull had orange teeth, the four in the front at least. Perfect for a football Saturday in Big Orange Country. Nicley had a 6-point deer antler, which she said the bucks shed each year. All in all it was a fun and informative day with kids and adults alike having a chance to talk with real-life heroes.

late fifties. He was so enraptured by this facet of our heritage that he undertook the daunting task of making a movie about it. He wrote the original story, produced the film and starred in it.� Mitchum also wrote “Whippoorwill,� performed in the film by Keely Smith, ex-wife of Louis Prima and former singer in his band. Mitchum sang the title song “The Ballad of Thunder Road� on the 45 single, but not in the film. (Randy Sparks sings it on the soundtrack.) Mitchum chose his real-life son, Jim, to play his brother in the film, Petree said. Li’l Jo’s will show the film on a 135-inch screen. Petree invites everyone to join in the celebration of the American classic by coming Thursday and bringing their old cars.

Curtis Petree and the folks at Li’l Jo’s Bar-BQue will show the original “Thunder Road� movie starring Robert Mitchum at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24. There’s no admission charge, but space is limited. Petree says, “Maybe it’s not that big of a deal ... Maybe outsiders chuckle condescendingly when you tell them about it ... And maybe some of the good, God-fearin’ folk are offended by the notion that it was used to run illegal moonshine. “But, no matter where you stand on the subject, you simply can’t deny that Maynardville Highway and its historical infamy is part of our area’s rich heritage. “Another fact which is undeniable is that Robert Mitchum was intrigued by our little two-lane, country road back in the

Ghosts, goblins and ghouls. Trails of doom, dungeons of death, corn mazes of menace and haunted houses of horror. Yes, the month of October provides us with plenty to fear. But of all Fr. Aaron Wessman the things that give people fright, I really question whether God should be one of them. Unfortunately, it seems that just as people would cower from a haunted corn maze or a scary movie, so to do they sometimes flee in fear of God. And I am not so sure this is wise. It is true that the bible says in the psalms that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (111:10).� But the word for fear, YIRAT in Hebrew, really means to have a great reverence, awe and gratitude for God. This is much more like a loving and respectful relationship, than the fear that one would have from a Corn Maze or Haunted House. Even more, Jesus says numerous times to his disciple to “not be afraid.� Both before his birth, during his life and after

the resurrection, we are constantly being told to “not be afraid� (see Luke 2:10, John 14:27, Matt 28:10, Matt 14:27). If we find ourselves being afraid of God, perhaps it is time for a change of heart. There is nothing that we could ever do that should cause us to be afraid of God. No sin, no mistake, no weakness, and no doubts are too much for God to handle. If we need proof of this, all we have to do is read the words of Jesus who assures us over and over that we need not be afraid. God wants what is best for us all. He does not want us to flee from him in fear, but rather, to come to his arms ready to receive his embrace. For there is no fear in love (1 John 4:18), and God is calling us to a loving relationship with him this day. So fear not, be bold, and get ready for the best experience of your life in Christ Jesus! Fr. Aaron Wessman, Associate Pastor, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Mission, 4365 Maynardville Hwy. 992-7222

4 • OCTOBER 19, 2013 • UNION COUNTY Shopper news physician, spoke briefly about the Affordable Care Act and its impact in Union County. “The county has about 3,000 uninsured people with about 1,800 available for a federal subsidy in obtaining health insurance,” she said. “We’re asking for help to get the word out.” Headrick is available for talks ranging from 5 minutes to 50.

Budget changes highlight meeting Union County Commission wrapped up its business in 90 minutes Tuesday with 13 members present, passing budget transfers and amendments without vetting by the Budget and Finance Committee which had to adjourn the previous week for lack of a quorum. Absent Tuesday were J.M. Bailey, Dawn Flatford, Dean Hill and Doyle Welch. Commissioners talked longer about the school board’s low bid contract for copiers than about Dr. Mary Headrick’s heartfelt expression of concern for the uninsured. County Mayor Mike Williams called the budget amendments “housekeeping,” and they were. Commission approved: ■ County Clerk Pam

sign up this year. Williams assured the commission that “no one has hired 11 new employees.” The school system’s 5-year copier contract will save the county “$11,000 right off the bat” with the possibility of additional savings, said Finance Director Ann Dyer. School superintendent Dr. Jimmy Carter advised the commission that a representative from K12 would

be in town on Thursday to discuss extending the contract with Union County Public Schools to operate the Tennessee Virtual Academy. He said he would bring the contract negotiated by the school board and K12 to the commission for approval. Carter is expected to recommend renewal of the contract.

Recycling to expand in county

Union County Commission voted Tuesday to fund a 20-hour position at $8.14 per hour to sort through recycled items as the program expands. Becky Munsey, a landfill operator for Waste Management, told the commission that the county’s contractor for recycling has been purchased by a larger company, Spectra Recycling, which can handle cardboard and plastics. “I want to (expand), but we need an attendant to police the product,” said Munsey. She estimated a cost of $6,045 for salary

and FICA for the balance of the fiscal year. Commission vice chair Gary England was supBecky Munsey portive, saying the expansion would help the county get grants. His motion to create the new position was adopted, with Jeff Brantley passing and Mike Sexton voting no because the issue had not been discussed in committee. “We are constantly looking for ways to reduce the waste stream,” Munsey said afterwards. ■

Appointments expand boards

Union County Commission affirmed appointments to the planning commission and the library board on Tuesday. New to the library board are Lori Wolfenbarger and Carol Pratt. New to the planning commission is Issac Collins.

They came with former Paul Bryant disciple Hart from Alabama in 2011 who once beat the Bear at and will return for the 96th his own game. renewal of the football rivalHart is employed by Ten-

nessee. Battle is part of the Tennessee fabric. He came first to Shields-Watkins Field as a player for Alabama. He returned as a very young assistant coach, part of the reconstruction of Doug Dickey’s staff after the tragic train wreck of ’65. Four years later, Bob Woodruff made the mistake of a lifetime, promoting Battle beyond preparation. At 28, he became the replacement for the dearly departed Dickey. He was the youngest head coach in college football. Dr. Andy Holt was surprised. Others raised eyebrows but nobody fainted. Battle got off to an excellent start and was 36-5 after three and a half seasons. He was obviously brilliant, on his way to fame and fortune. In fact, the bright highlights of Battle’s coaching career came in his first sea-

son, mid and late October 1970 and on Jan. 1. Tennessee intercepted a school-record eight passes and slugged sagging Alabama, 24-0. Bryant and Battle, teacher and student, hugged and shook hands. It was a memorable occasion but it happened only once. A week later, the Vols ripped Florida. Dickey took a deep breath and endured. He might have even wondered if his move was a mistake. In the Sugar Bowl, Tennessee stunned undefeated Air Force, 34-13. It was the top of Battle’s mountain. Bobby Scott, Curt Watson, Chip Kell, Jackie Walker, Bobby Majors and people like that took him there. A little later, Ray Trail recruited Condredge Holloway and the excitement continued despite a general decline.

A spider’s house Their confidence is gossamer, a spider’s house their trust. (Job 8: 14 NRSV) She found the most astonishing sight of all, a cobweb strung between two posts, she hardly dared breathe for fear of disturbing it, a thousand drops of water gleaming in the tension of its fragile hold. The pattern perfect, each drop of water shining clear, round, holding all light within it, something that would only stay miraculous if she did not disturb, did not touch so much as one sticky thread. And she marveled at the cunning of the spider, a creature she did not much like. (“Light,” Eva Figes)

still hanging, in fact, like so many diamonds. I stopped to marvel at the web’s beauty, its intricacy, its fragility. Ms. Spider was not at home at the moment, so I didn’t worry about frightening her (or It was an early morning, the web. The spider had vice versa, for that matter). one of the first really cool spun her magic in the fence, I looked at the web’s symmornings, when I first saw and the dew had fallen on it, metry, its delicate strands

attached to the white wood, the strength of its geometry. I spared a thought to the tardiness of the spider’s building efforts. I think of late August and early September as the time frame for spider webs, so I was surprised to find this lovely architecture here in midOctober. I was in the midst of reading Eva Figes’ novella “Light,” a book that recounts a day in the life of Claude Monet, that master impressionist, who chose not to paint water lilies or fields of flowers, so much as the light surrounding them. The slim volume is

Battle recognized what was happening and departed with dignity intact. His exit line, defining class, was sensational: “When they run you out of town, make it look like you’re leading the parade.” He returned as a businessman with a great idea, pointing Tennessee toward considerable earnings in logo licenses and souvenir sales. He became the national leader in collegiate marketing, a genuine legend in that field. Bill never lost interest in Tennessee. He has helped former players who needed help. He has been back for reunions, funerals and special events. In his third career, he is Nick Saban’s boss! Imagine that! My opinion of Bill Battle has never changed – in 47 years. He is a class act, keen

mind, exemplary in character. What happened to him at Tennessee was unfair. He was a good receiver coach, innovative in scouting, honest in recruiting, an excellent role model for young players (Bill was a year older than senior receiver Johnny Mills – who put an arm on the coach’s shoulder and asked if the players could call him Billy). Given time, Battle might have matured into a fine head coach. He never had a chance. He did pretty well with his Collegiate Licensing Company. It sold for something over $100,000,000. Out of loyalty to his school, he became athletic director when Alabama called. Wonder what would have happened here and there if Hart had stayed in Tuscaloosa?

an Impressionist’s study of light and shadow, and how those opposites illumine, highlight, hide, gild, warm, shade or bless everything they touch. From summer to winter, from light to darkness, the cycles of the world go on and on. Just so, with our own lives. There are days of brightness and days of shadow. There are days of laughter and joy, and days of mourning and sadness. There are days of toil and days of rest. There are days of strife and days of peace. There are days of accomplishment and days of stillness. All are important to us, needful for us. The writer of Ecclesiastes said it so powerfully: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every

matter under heaven.” It is important – no, imperative – during the hard seasons that we remember the days of light. We must carry that memory in our hearts the way our pioneer foremothers banked the hearth fires at night, the way bulbs hold in the darkness the heat they will need to bloom in the spring. Likewise – and strangely, this is harder – during the bright days, the warm, shining days, we must remember that there will be darkness again, part of the rhythms of life. That is when we depend on memory, to be able to envision the future, for, as Figes writes, “Memory holds the shining bubble, bright with the newborn glory of the world.”

Beware the stink bug By Shannon Perrin As the season changes, pests seek shelter for the coming winter, and the brown ma r morated stink bug is no exception. The bug Perrin is an invasive pest that feeds on many crops and ornamental plants during the growing

season and then continues its pest status as it invades homes to winter, said Karen Vail, UT Extension urban entomologist. “Mechanical exclusion is the most effective approach to provide long-term control. Think of all the places that stink bugs can enter the home and then deny them entry,� Vail said. “Seal cracks around door frames, windows, utility penetrations, siding and wood fascia and other openings

with appropriate materials such as quality silicone or silicone-latex caulk.� Homeowners may need to add or reinforce weather stripping around doors and windows to provide tighter seals or add door sweeps if light can be seen under a door. The entomologist also recommends repairing screens on doors and windows and installing screens behind crawl spaces and soffit and attic vents. Use chimney caps or screens

when appropriate and remove window unit air conditioners, if possible, as this is a common entry point. The brown marmorated stink bug is shaped like a shield, mottled brown and gray and has characteristic white bands on the fourth antennal segment as well as alternating dark and light bands on the sides of the abdomen. The bugs can be removed with a vacuum cleaner, but you should be prepared for an unpleasant odor if large numbers are vacuumed at once. Another removal option takes advantage of the bug’s dropping behavior. A straight-sided, one-half - to 1-gallon plastic container with an end cut off can be placed under the bugs and the bugs brushed into the container using a piece of cardboard or a broom. This container can also be dragged up a vertical surface, such as a wall, window or drape, where the bugs have aggregated, so they will drop into the container. After capture, the bugs can be put in a sealable stor-

The brown marmorated stink bug sions, and sprays directed into cracks and crevices will still allow bugs to emerge. Seal cracks and crevices instead. If exclusion methods aren’t working completely, Vail recommended professionally applied outdoor treatments of indoxacarb, dinotefuran, pyrethroids or pyrethroids combined with neonicotinoids around windows, doors and other entry points as is done for other occasional invaders. In general, pyrethroids are faster-acting than other chemistries; however, new pesticide labels limit professionally applied pyrethroids to 1-inch bands around windows and doors when the surface is over a hardscape. It is best to spray perimeters in the fall before the bugs start aggregating on structures. Insecticides will have limited persistence outdoors in the sunlight and rain and may have limited effectiveness against preventing the brown marmorated stink bug from entering structures.

age bag and discarded or drowned in soapy water. Vail recommends against indoor application of insecticides for several reasons. “Bugs that die may provide food for other pests such as carpet beetles, which in turn could damage woolen clothing and dried, stored products. Foggers may kill bugs that are present at the time, but won’t provide much control after the room is aerated. “Misapplied foggers have resulted in fire or explo-

Shutdown doesn’t stop HonorAir A salute to ‘Uncle Sam’ By Jake Mabe WASHINGTON, D.C. – Uncle Sam received a starspangled salute at the World War II Veterans Memorial last week. No, not the guy with the beard, this is a real person, a real hero, Halls guy Sam Hardman, who passed away at age 95 on Aug. 16. Mr. Hardman, a World War II veteran, was the ambassador for HonorAir Knoxville, which takes World War II and Korean War era veterans to the capital to see their monuments. HonorAir Knoxville founder Eddie Mannis and Mr. Hardman’s step grandchildren Teresa and Tom Latham

laid a wreath in his memory at the Tennessee marker. “We’ve been here before,” Tom said, “but to put the wreath here means just that much more. We’re pretty sure Sam was talking to Gabriel to set up a one-day pass to get here. He would be honored.” The government shutdown wasn’t going to stop these 127 warriors. HonorAir staff and a tour guide removed (and later replaced) barricades near the Korean War Veterans Monument and at the Marine Corps War Memorial. Police never appeared. Korean War era Air Force veteran Bennett Tipton, touring his war’s monument with fellow vet and Halls guy Bob Temple, fought back tears. “What gets to ya about all

these pictures (of Marines and soldiers engraved in the memorial) is that I remember how young we were. I was a little older than most at 21. I graduated from UT and the next week, I was outta here.” Fountain City Korean War era veterans Hardy Johnson and Richard Tumblin took the tour. At the World War II memorial, Johnson chatted with U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander and Tumblin spoke to U.S. Sen. Bob Corker. Halls guy and Korean War era veteran Marvin Powers, assigned to the 7th Army headquarters in Germany, was also here. Former Halls guy, business owner and Korean War era veteran Bob Johnson was seeing the Korea memorial for the first time. “I’m just a little disap-

pointed,” Johnson said. “I had a childhood friend who was killed and I was hoping to see his name.” Halls guy, World War II veteran and former Knox County Superintendent Earl Hoffmeister and Bob Johnson are longtime friends and former neighbors in Emory Estates. They spent time together on the trip. Hoffmeister trained mules for mountain artillery. Next time you see a veteran, thank them for their service. And next time you see Eddie Mannis, thank him for bringing HonorAir to Knoxville. This is a program to be proud of, no doubt about it. Ain’t that right, Uncle Sam? “Pull Up A Chair” with Jake Mabe at jakemabe.blogspot.com.

She says the owner of the drive-in movie theater that once sat at the foot of Black Oak Ridge offered to show a film with all proceeds going to build a new church. Broadway Speedway, located near the current location of the Halls Co-op, offered to help. Some Beaver Dam members thought the church should sell soap. “I thank God that he was in charge.”

Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC

Feeling healthy is, of course, a good thing. But are you as healthy as you could be? Your body may be functioning adequately, but is it truly firing on all cylinders and reaching its maximum capacity? Nerves that radiate from your spine, the communication highway between the brain and the rest of the body, have an impact on everything from your scalp to your heart to your toes. The slightest misalignment in the bones that make up the spine – they’re called vertebrae

– can have an adverse affect on some part of your body and your life. The effect may be so minimal that you don’t notice any particular problem. Chiropractors are trained to detect such misalignments, which are technically called subluxations. The chiropractor has a variety of techniques – manual adjustment of the spine being perhaps the best known – to correct a subluxation and restore full function to an impaired nerve. Of course if you have a particular problem, like

The right is reserved to adjourn the day of sale to another day certain without further publication and in accordance with the law upon announcement of such adjournment on the day and at the time and place of sale set forth above.
