Virtual Academy
Superintendent Dr. Jimmy Carter plans a trip to Nashville to advocate with state Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman for retention of the Virtual Academy. And why wouldn’t he? The program brings about $500,000 annually to Union County Public Schools, and Carter’s school board voted unanimously for a 3-year renewal at its recent meeting.

The Union County Arts Council was approached by Chip Brown of Union County Public Schools to take on a project: Murals in the Shirley Lynn Collins Memorial Media Center at Horace Maynard Middle School. The Art Council members (Eric and Gloria Holcomb, Shirley Keaton, Cindy Taylor, Julie Graham, Betty Bullen, Susan Boone, Neva Kitts, Arlene Sprague, Clay Bones and Carol Pratt) toured the old library at Horace Maynard Middle School. The brainstorming began. Horace Maynard, for whom the town of Maynardville and the middle school was named, needed to be the start of the mural. We wanted to show the changes from schools then to the present time. A field trip to Knoxville, where several murals hang in the Knox County Courthouse, the federal building, Fort Sanders Hospital and on Gay Street was planned. Eric and Gloria Holcomb, Shirley Keaton, Betty Bullen and this writer went on the trip. It wasn’t difficult until we tried to get into
the federal court house. With much patience and 30 minutes later, we were allowed through security to view the beautiful murals by William Rawson and Bobbie Crews. In August, after the materials were ready for the 8-foot x 16-foot mural, Carol put two coats, which represented one gallon, of gesso on the area. Betty Bullen drew out a sketch of what everyone wanted to incorporate into the design. Carol suggested starting with an old classroom and ending with a new classroom. Since music is such a big part of Union County and so many talented people come from Maynardville, there needed to be something relating to music. An old typewriter should be added since they are now obsolete. Modern technology with iPads and computers were a must. Materials and references were gathered and a starting date set. Eric and Gloria Holcomb, along with Carol Pratt, took two days to sketch everything out on the huge canvas. Media specialist Jason Beeler was a big help with getting Betty Bullen, Carol Pratt, Shirley Keaton and Arlene Sprague with the mural a projector to connect to Carol’s at Horace Maynard Middle School. Not pictured are Eric and Gloria Holcomb. iPad. The following week Eric, Photo submitted Gloria and Carol put brushes and paint to work. To page 2
Trane proposes energy upgrades, savings By Sandra Clark Trane is proposing a program of equipment upgrades that could save potentially $319,000 per year for Union County Public Schools. Nancy McBee presented the concept to the school board last week. “You guys are a little bit out of whack (with regional averages),” said McBee. The school system’s current utilNancy McBee ity cost per square foot is $1.98, while the regional average is $1.25, she said. Trane’s ideal target would be 98-cents per square foot. Through “performance contracting,” guaranteed savings from maintenance and operations would offset the money borrowed to make needed upgrades and modernizations. A contract must be approved by both the school board and the county commission.
The school system’s current budget for utilities is $870,000, McBee said. If new equipment can drop the expense to the regional average (a savings of 73-cents per square foot), the savings would be $319,000 per year, a reduction inutility expense of more than 35 percent. “This reduction would fund a $3.6 million upgrade project when financed over 15 years at 3 percent interest,” said McBee. She stressed that Trane actually guarantees the savings. “If the savings are not there, we will issue a check for the difference, so even though the county would take out a bond or municipal loan on behalf of the school system, the repayment stream would be 100 percent underwritten by Trane, without investment of tax dollars,” said McBee. “The school system would basically be reallocating their overspending on utility expenses toward infrastructure upgrades.”
McBee, who grew up on a farm in Corryton, said she totally believes in the project. “Trane doesn’t have a single negative reference in the state of Tennessee for this type of project.” She asked the school board for a letter of interest before Trane engineers begin the serious work of designing upgrades for all of Union County’s schools.
Board members were generally interested but suggested she present the idea to Union County Commission before anyone proceeds. Trane is in a multi-year contract with Knox County Schools. The company has implemented performance contracting in Claiborne, Jefferson and Campbell counties as well.
Chicken Man livens up Luttrell By Libby Morgan Jerry Isaacs says he gets up in a fowl mood every day. That’s what happens when you’re Chicken Man. And, the silly jokes keep comin’. “Why did the chewing gum cross the road? ’Cuz it was stuck on the chicken’s foot,” says Isaacs. “I went to the airport and told the lady I wanted a round-trip ticket. She asked me ‘Where to?’ I said, ‘Why, right back here!’ “I’ll tell you how I met my girlfriend. I pulled up beside her at a red light, and I looked over at her and gave her the eye. She gave it

That’s whatcha call and eye for and eye and a toot for a toot.” Chicken Man entertained the Luttrell seniors with nicely done songs between jokes. He’s a pro at it, with being on TV in Hollywood and all. Twice. Back in 1991 he won $3,000 on America’s Funniest People. In 2004, he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where he got to hang out with Leno and Robin Williams. “Now that Robin Williams is funny,” says Isaacs.

Making a mural
From page 1
The students were full of questions. It was neat to hear, and enjoyable since Eric and Gloria are retired schoolteachers. Carol stood on chairs and got the sky and mountains blocked in. Next, Eric worked on the old classroom with the potbelly stove, students and a dog. The reference material came from a library book about Cumberland Gap. Eric worked on the musical instruments since he is a musician. One of the school janitors mentioned that when he went to school the teacher had a Bible on her desk, so one was added. An ink well was thought about but not added. We wanted a red apple for the teacher, a school bell and later an hourglass. Shirley Keaton joined in to paint the students in the old classroom. Betty Bullen started on Horace Maynard. Gloria Holcomb helped wherever needed. Carol added Hubbs Grove School and Eric Holcomb painted the school bus Carol had sketched in. This added some color as most of the mural depicting the era was in black and white. Teacher Sharon Collins came by and mentioned that
Hubbs Grove’s one-room school was the first school where she taught. Carol jokingly said, “Sharon, that’s a hint. It’s time to retire.” Both laughed. Melanie Maples, the principal at Horace Maynard Middle School, suggested we add No. 38 to Eric’s bus since that is the number on her husband’s bus, HMMS security officer Chris Maples. The students got a kick out of this. Chris’ office is located in the library, and he walks by numerous times daily to give a hello and comment on the mural’s progress. He noticed the bus number and had a chuckle. Shirley Keaton, a Horace Maynard High School alumni, added a typing class from her old yearbook. Many who came by to see the progress suggested it was Ada Mae Houston, their typing teacher. Moving into the modern time, we wanted to add a student holding an iPad. You have to have permission to photograph a student. Carol Pratt’s niece, Neilea Hansen, is a 7th grader at HMMS. Permission was received and Neilea posed for a photograph in the library.

Carol suggested a pair of cowgirl boots with the skirt and blouse since this is a popular style with students now. Many mentioned they loved the boots. Arlene Sprague had never painted a portrait before and was hesitant. Carol urged her to take it on as a challenge. “We can always change anything that needs correcting.” This happened numerous times. The musicians were put on and then taken off, only to be repositioned. Horace Maynard got a facelift. This is a common occurrence in painting, and is one of Carol’s favorite sayings: “painting is a series of corrections.” Arlene did a wonderful job. Carol suggested we needed something to separate the musicians from the modern classroom: A ribbon of music. We chose “Rocky Top” as the song, and Arlene took on the project. She researched the music and was meticulous about putting the notes in correctly. After Arlene blocked in the white ribbon for the music, she got an e-mail from Carol suggesting we change it. After studying the day’s progress, she saw the ribbon as toilet paper
coming from behind the guitar player. Arlene then saw it too, and the next day it was changed. A lot of good laughs were had over that. Shirley added a tobacco barn and field. These were common sights in Union County. Most people raised tobacco, but it is becoming a thing of the past. Carol added a church since Union County is blessed with many of them. Moving into the modern era, Carol added Union County High School, since this is where the middle school students will be heading. Below the high school she added the U.S. Capitol since this is where the 8th grade students travel at the end of their middle school years. The Capitol building was giving Carol nightmares, so Arlene Sprague took over and made a beautiful landscape. Carol drew a modern-day computer classroom and then filled it with a stack of Harry Potter library books. She put stacks of Tom Sawyer books at the beginning of the mural. Arlene added the Tennessee and U.S. flags. Betty Bullen added a pocket watch to Horace Maynard’s jacket pocket. Carol added

Nothing’s as slow as molasses For days, Earl and Aurora Bull are hosting the molasses faithful – people stopping by to watch and help make molasses the old way.
Libby Morgan
Sometimes the mule doesn’t cooperate. Ask Earl why his nose is a little larger than normal this week. He’ll tell you they had a rodeo for a minute. It was touch and go, but they got things straightened out and squeezed gallons and gallons of the thin liquid from fresh sorghum stalks. Then it’s on to the boiling down part. The Bulls built a special permanent furnace for the pan – a long, shallow, sectioned vessel over a fire, with the heat channeled along the bottom of the pan and a flue out the roof. It takes a long time to boil the watery juice down to thick syrup, and the liquid must be skimmed constantly. It leaves lots of time for shootin’ the bull. While the skimmers have been skimming, Aurora’s
been perfecting her molasses cookies. She brings a few of the delicious treats and passes them out to the group. Blackstrap molasses is heralded as a health food. It is a good source of several minerals we need that are hard to find in modern diets. In one cookie, we all got a percentage of our daily requirements of calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron. I feel better already. Thanks, Ginger (Aurora).

2013 Persimmon Weather Predictor
I was asked by several at the homecoming what the persimmons were saying about the coming winter. I had to say I didn’t have any persimmons on my trees this year, so Ellen Perry brought me some. First, these persimmons were much larger than usual, but the seeds were much smaller than I can remember seeing before. I cut open several seeds and only one had the imprint of a spoon (mild winter). The others had a knife (hard, cold, icy winter). I don’t know about the persimmons, but, if this morning’s frost on my roof is any indication, we’re in for a humdinger.

What a difference a year makes Missouri, SEC East leader, wrong had or was. Pinkel is the surprise of the season. and critics were staring at the leftover shadow of a serious driving violation, an expensive divorce after 40 years of marriage, entirely too many Tiger injuries and Marvin a terrible experience (42-0 West at halftime) at Texas A&M. In retrospect, Derek Dooley and Tyler Bray probably preserved Pinkel as we At the end of 2012, there know him – in the fourth was talk of firing the coach overtime at beautiful Neyof the Tigers, Gary Robin land Stadium. That bad last year ended Pinkel. He was said to be with monumental unrest at distant, distressed, distracted, discombobulated Missouri. Fans, spoiled by success, wanted immediate and disengaged. (All those words came change. Pinkel emphatically directly from the famous declared his stuff would school of journalism at Co- work. Athletic director Mike Alden responded with firm lumbia, Mo.) Everything that could go words like “urgency” and
“accountability.” What difference does a year make? Pinkel has vaulted from 5-7 and job jeopardy to a nomination for coach of the year, from hot seat to hot attraction, suddenly blessed with fresh intensity and positive energy. Better beware, Tennessee. Missouri has endured fewer injuries than before but is again without star quarterback James Franklin. Pinkel’s solution creates an interesting comparison. If all redshirt freshman quarterbacks were created equal, development is undoubtedly the difference we see. Case in point: Nathan Peterman and Maty Mauk.
A tardy autumn When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them? (Psalm 8: 3-4 NRSV) All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. (“All Things Bright and Beautiful,” Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848) It seems to me that autumn is late this year. I may be wrong about that, but I have been watching the ridges and the mountains for color, and it has been only in the last week that I have seen Mother Nature putting on her truly gaudy clothes. Oh, there have been hints and a few promising trees, but no take-your-breath-away views. She is being a tease,
I think. I was supposed to be an October baby, and Daddy took Mother to the hospital on Halloween night (spare me the witch jokes, please) but I missed an October birthday by one day. Even so, October is my favorite month. I love the cooler air, the blue skies, the turning trees. On the drive home the other night after a visit to

my daughter Jordan in Atlanta, I watched the moonrise over the mountains. It was a waning moon, and I was startled to realize I had missed the October full moon in the bright lights of the city. Only now that October is almost over, and the harvest moon of the Cherokee is waning, I see at last the warm plaid on the mountains, the gold and scarlet and orange against the faithful evergreens. I think we are blessed to live in this part of the world, where there are four distinct sea-
Nathan was the victim of Butch Jones’ failed experiment at Florida. He was the Tennessee brick that broke. Mauk was plug and play at Missouri. When Franklin went down against Georgia, Mauk looked surprisingly comfortable as the emergency replacement. A week later, Mauk directed a victory over Florida. OK, those were not exactly the same Gators who ate Peterman alive. And, perhaps the Missouri offensive line did better in support of Mauk than did the highly regarded Volunteers on behalf of Peterman. (It is highly unlikely that both lines are the best in the Southeastern Conference). The difference in red-
shirt freshman quarterbacks goes back to high school. Mauk was a Parade All-American and two-time Gatorade Player of the Year at Kenton, Ohio. He broke national prep career records for passing yards, completions, touchdowns and total offense. Mauk’s senior stats were awesome: 5,413 passing yards and 68 touchdowns, 1,768 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns. It seems the numbers mattered. His father was his high school coach. The dad allowed the son to keep playing in his final home game, a 74-22 rout. Mauk finished the evening 27-for-29 for 505 yards and nine touchdowns!
sons. That is something you probably already know about me, since I have been known to go on and on about the first daffodil, or the first sandal day, the first wood fire, the first snowfall. Maybe, to be perfectly honest, I love the four seasons because change keeps life interesting and entertaining. About this time every year, I also ponder the
imagination of our Creator who thought up praying mantises and Beluga whales and Irish setters, as well as mastodons and kitty cats and hippopotami. While God was creating, He also got busy and gave us stars and comets and rainbows, as well as bald eagles and cardinals and hummingbirds, red maple trees and dark firs and majestic oaks, each one a joy to behold. So
Peterman, Florida 6-A player of the year, threw for 2,972 yards and 35 touchdowns as a senior at Bartram Trail High in St. Johns. He ran for 319 yards and five touchdowns. Nathan’s dad is a pastor. Missouri beat Michigan, Notre Dame, Illinois, Vanderbilt and Cincinnati for Mauk’s signature and services. Nathan was thinking Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and Cincinnati before Tennessee offered a scholarship. Indeed, Coach Jones had been vigorously recruiting Peterman and Mauk for the Bearcats. Maty’s brother Ben played at Cincinnati. Peterman, recovering from a fractured hand, does not project as a Saturday factor. Mauk is the young man for the Vols to beat. Marvin West invites reader reactions. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.
I would surmise that God loves variety as much as I do. The poet Cecil Frances Alexander goes on in her poem to rejoice in the fact that “God gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, who has made all things well.” Consider it done.
Bazaar Babes at it again The first thing one of the Bazaar Babes wanted to know was why they hadn’t seen John R. McCloud’s picture in the Shopper lately. “That is bizarre,” I thought. But I said, “He’s been banned for at least a year due to overexposure.” Yes, for the 21st year, the Two of the Christ United Christ United Methodist Methodist Church Bazaar Church Bazaar Babes are at Babes: Norma Richardson & it again.

Buttermilk pie, according to Granddad By Libby Morgan
■ The annual Union County High School Veterans Day Program will be held Monday, Nov. 11. Registration and refreshments will be 9 a.m. and the program will begin at 10 in the auditorium. All veterans are invited to attend and be recognized. The community is invited. Info: Barbara Williams, 992-5493. Immediately following the program, the veterans and their spouses are invited to the J.C. Baker Masonic Lodge #720, located next to the Rocky Top Shell Station, for a luncheon sponsored by the Lodge.
Elizabeth Tindell won the grand prize of $100 in the pie baking contest at the Heritage Festival with a buttermilk pie. Becca Hughes, Union County Extension agent, says several people have asked about the pie, and Tindell has shared her story and the recipe. “When I decided to do the contest I got out my 91-year-old Granddad’s recipe box and looked for the most used pie recipe, knowing that if it was well used by him it must be good. And the buttermilk pie recipe card was so used and dirty that it’s hard to see some of the ingredients, so I figured I should use it.
“He lives in assisted living now, but was pleased that I am still using his recipes,” says Tindell. So here it is: Granddaddy’s Buttermilk Pie ½ cup sugar 3 eggs ½ cup real butter ½ cup buttermilk 1 Tbsp. self rising flour 1 tsp. vanilla Cream butter until soft and beat in sugar. Add eggs and mix until well blended. Add flour and vanilla, beat until smooth. Stir in buttermilk. Pour into prepared pie shell and bake at 350 degrees approximately one hour or until set.
Homemade Pie Crust 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour ¾ tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. sugar ½ cup shortening 2 Tbsp. cold butter 5-6 Tbsp. cold water Mix all dry ingredients in mixer, cut in shortening and butter and mix until you have small pieces of shortening and butter. Add water slowly and mix until the pie shell starts to hold together. (May not need all the water.) Roll into ball, wrap in plastic wrap and let chill 30 minutes. Roll out and shape in pie pan and bake according to recipe. When the pie is done baking, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Enjoy!
Great smells from Tinker’s Trinkets By Libby Morgan

Marie Wood pours pumpkin cheesecake “tarts.” Photos by Libby Morgan
How could anyone choose their favorite scent out of 335 options? Do you go with a baked goods aroma? Fruity? Earthy? Herbal? How about a real leather scent for your vehicle? (They’ll think your car is done in rich, custom leather that only looks like vinyl.) A visit to Tinker’s Trinkets, Marie Wood’s workshop at the intersection of Maynardville Hwy. and Beard Valley, is a visit to a wonderland of scents. “In 2010, I decided to start my own business. I began with my workshop in a small bedroom, outgrew it, moved to the garage, and then to my shop in Maynardville a year ago. I have plenty of room now,” says Wood. “I’m picky about the quality of my oils,” she says as she pours little “tarts,” her specialty item. They do triple duty as scent-producers at room temp, or you can kick up the volume by heating them in decorative warmers. Most can also be used as a skin moisturizer. “I make gel candles, car
Chiropractic and cancer treatment By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC
American Chiropractic Association. At CTCA’s five regional hospitals, doctors of chiropractic work on teams alongside oncologists and surgeons to support cancer patients as they go through their treatment. As mentioned in the article written by Lori A. Burkhart, a chiropractic adjustment on a patient with a neck problem might, 15 minutes later, allow that patient to get into a certain position required for a radiation treatment. According to Jeffrey Sklar, DC, Eastern
regional director in the department of chiropractic at CTCA, “we are not treating cancer, we are treating patients with cancer; it is whole-person care. And that is what got me turned on about chiropractic to begin with.” Chiropractic treatment should be part of your overall health plan, as well.

Chiropractic Outlook It’s been going on for some 10 years now, the inclusion of chiropractic care at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), a pioneering organization in the integrative treatment of cancer patients. At CTCA’s five regional hospitals, doctors of chiropractic work alongside oncologists and surgeons to help provide comprehensive support for cancer patients. This relationship was the cover story in the August 2013 edition of ACA News, the monthly magazine of the
fresheners, these tarts, sachet bags, hand sanitizer, bath salts, salt scrubs, all with what I call ‘Truly Triple Scents.’ I have perfected my methods and gotten lots of followers, or repeat customers, by taking my tables to flea markets and such. Now they come find me. I’m still doing some events and I’ll go to more during the holiday season.” The name, Tinker’s Trinkets, came from a childhood memory. Her grandfather’s nickname for her was “Tinker,” and she was told more than once, “Get out of your grandma’s trinkets!” Info: 924-0663 or www. TinkersTrinkets.com.
