“We were glad to help,” said Inklebarger.

Over its 3-state region, Food City set aside $600,000 for the 2012-13 school year. Customers who registered with a ValuCard earn points for their designated school.

Boosting business one jar at a time

By Sandra Clark Sonya Cissna wrote to Shopper-News: “Good morning!

“I have an unusual request: Do you know where I can purchase more apple butter made by the Union County Masonic Bodies?

“We purchased the apple butter at this year’s Grainger County Tomato Festival. It is the best apple butter we have ever tasted!

“Thanks for your time. Have a blessed day!”

A quick call to the Union County Chamber of Commerce yielded this response from Julie Graham: “Mr. Don Bridges is who you need to call. 992-3189.”

So there you have it: The Union County Chamber. Promoting local enterprises one jar of apple butter at a time.

State Rep. Dennis Powers wants the state, not the federal government, to take care of health care. He also touted recent statistics that show Tennessee outpacing all other states in student achievement.

Powers spoke last week at the board meeting of the Union County Chamber of Commerce.

Guests also included Jeanne Collins of the UC Children’s Center in Maynardville.

The group heard a plea from children’s advocates to help expand the number of foster homes in Union County, citing a dire need for temporary care for kids in crisis.

Executive Director Julie Graham announced an upcoming book produced by PlanET with information on building greenways in the region.

The board discussed marketing the county on radio, and tabled the subject until a committee could work out details.

The next Chamber meeting is scheduled for Jan. 21.

Time to give to kids

By Libby Morgan “Give, give, give!” says Gina Buckner, coordinator of Union County’s Children’s Charities Christmas gifts program.

Buckner, Union County Trustee, gets in the Christmas spirit months early to prepare for the work she and her all-volunteer team must do to be ready for the Dec. 14 distribution day.

“We get our list of children started through applications back in September. We have to keep careful lists, and this year we have 490 kids’ wishes to try to fulfill,” says Buckner.

Applications were processed and finalized in October.

Last week, Buckner and her elves, Carol Pratt, Anthony Rynes and Haven Housewright, dashed through Maynardville to put up

trees in eleven locations, each hung with tags showing children’s wish lists.

“It really touches my heart to see some of the requests we get.

Some kids ask for the simplest things – like pajamas. You know they’re needy when they just want a clean, new set of pajamas,” says Pratt.

“People are so good here. We estimate that over $20,000 worth of gifts are brought in from the tree tags, and donations enable us to buy the rest,” says Buckner.

Shopping is done by the volunteers to prepare for the distribution day.

“We stretch those dollars as far as we can. Big Lots and Kmart give us 20 percent off, plus we’re tax exempt, so we get a lot for our money,” says Pratt.

The trees are at Pete’s Place, Food City, New South Credit Union, First Century Bank, Commercial Bank, Tolliver’s Market, Okie’s Pharmacy, Union County High School, Union County Chiropractic, Union County Arts and Janet’s Hair and Tan. “Please stop by one of these businesses, take an ornament and make a needy child happy this Christmas. The deadline to do this is Dec. 2,” says Buckner.

“And we can use all the volunteers we can get, especially on Dec. 14 from 9 a.m. to noon in the high school commons area. If you would like to be a part of this, please call 992-5943.”

Donations are welcome yearround and can be mailed to UC Children’s Charities, P.O. Box 1033, Maynardville, TN 37807.

Maybe this Thanksgiving we could take a different approach.

For the Bible tells us in First Thessalonians to “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you (5: 16-18).”

If we are a people experiencing salvation in Christ, and if we have been given new life, that should distinguish us from the rest of the world. Perhaps we could try a little more to heed the words above. Maybe if our conversations changed, People start mixing and and we focused more on the mingling.

Warwick heads beautification board

Lions meet new chancellor

Miller’s Chapel adopts Hwy. 33 mile Sonja Hill Warwick is Union County’s new and enthusiastic Keep Union County Beautiful director.

Libby Morgan Mayor Mike Williams welcomes Sonja Hill Warwick as the new Keep Union County Beautiful director. Photo by Libby Morgan “I got involved with KUCB when I called to complain about an eyesore.

That’s when I discovered the passion of others who care about our beautiful area,” says Warwick.

She works at UTK full time as the business manager of the electrical engineering and computer science department, handling finances and creating reports. She says she will be doing lots of reports as KUCB director.

When Jackie Erlbacher moved away this summer she left the position open, and early in November, Warwick took over.

“We’re going to pick up where we left off. KUCB is committed to the cause.

“The entire board is great – everyone is always very helpful. And our litter officer, Mike Hale, is invaluable.

“KUCB sponsored another Can-It project in conjunction with the Union County High School art department. Leslie Sexton’s students painted two garbage cans, which were auctioned off at Union County Arts during the Heritage Festival. The winning bidders were Dean Roach and Sandy Miller. We donated the proceeds to the art de-

Andrew Tillman, sworn in as 8th District chancellor earlier this year, visited the Lions of Union County.

Tillman entertained with stories of his hobby of building a woodburning unit to power an auto, explaining how the smoke and fumes can be used as fuel. He says he figures he got one mile per eight pounds of wood.

He says he also has powered a sawmill from the wood waste.

The Lions Club has realized steady profits from selling Italian ice at high school ballgames and continues to use the funds to provide vision testing and eyeglasses.

Club members expressed appreciation for the Knoxville LensCrafters’ support of the Lions vision projects.

“We are hoping the beautiful painted garbage cans will entice everyone to toss their garbage in a can instead of on the streets,” says Warwick.

“I’m happy to announce Miller’s Chapel United Methodist Church of Maynardville is ready to help clean up Union County as our newest Adopt-A-Road volunteer.”

The church adopted a one-mile stretch of Highway 33 just south of Maynardville.

Miller’s Chapel held their first official cleanup Nov. 9.

Ten volunteers worked for two hours, picking up 22 bags of garbage, totaling 550 pounds.

“Thanks to Miller’s Chapel for keeping Union County beautiful,” says Warwick.

“Our volunteers were Canaan Plummer, Ken Luton, Elizabeth Weiss, Christy Mowell, Janet Holloway, Jim Perkins, Mayor Mike Williams, James Perry, myself, and Gay Thurston.”

Oak Grove Mondays – Oak Grove Matters As Preservation Union County’s Oak Grove Mondays begin to wind down through the winter, it is time to give an update on the restoration progress: Preservation Union County has accomplished the following to date: 1. Secured permission from Union County Commission to stabilize the historic Oak Grove Elementary School building and to seek funds for its restoration.

2. County crew cleared the school grounds and is now mowing regularly.

3. Volunteers have cut and removed vines growing all over outside of building through broken windows and inside the building.

4. Removed dropped ceiling.

5. Removed filth and debris inside building ap-

parently placed there by vagrants.

6. Secured the foundation.

7. Replaced some rotten floor joists, sills and studs.

8. Removed old floor and subflooring placed. Some of the old flooring can be reused.

9. Building treated by pest control contractor who updates treatment as needed.

10. Roof leaks repaired and roof painted.

11. Most needed repairs have been made to exterior

weatherboard.

12. About half of the exterior has been painted with primer.

13. When the floor was removed, a dugout under the building, which had been used to store canned goods for school lunch program, was found. The dugout was full of water. A county crew dug a drainage ditch. The dugout was dried out and then filled with gravel.

This project has been made possible by grants from East Tennessee Foundation, Union County Foundation, TVA Retirees Association, two Sweetheart (fundraiser) Dinners, two turkey shoots, a spaghetti (fundraiser) dinner and a Music under the Stars program at Sharps Chapel Park.

More than 50 community volunteers have made this

work happen. TVA retiree volunteers have participated in Oak Grove Mondays.

Windows: Oak Grove School has 20 large windows which were removed and 40 half windows. The kickoff of this segment was when Chef Walter Lambert prepared lunch for the volunteers. The effort was publicized on Noonday Chef and WVLT 6 p.m. news.

Volunteers have worked six Oak Grove Mondays and have completed 34 half windows (six on six) – scraped, sanded, brushed, painted with primer and then painted with exterior paint.

If Union County’s historic properties matter to you and you would be willing to give a few hours of your time to this project, call Betty Bullen at 992-1005 or Robert Ellison at 281-0181.

This place mattered to these people on Nov. 18, 2013: Susan Boone, Betty Bullen, Don Daugherty, Dennis Johnson, Bonnie Peters, J. Will Shoffner, and former Director of Schools Marilyn Toppins and her husband, Wayne. In the forefront of the picture are Bonnie Peters, Marilyn Toppins and Wayne Toppins. A Betty Bullen photograph

Volunteers are attempting to complete the window project and get them re-installed before Christmas.

Immediate work to be done: Sand and paint 6

half windows; replace some missing muntins; replace some missing glass panes; point and glaze all windows, wash all windows and remove any paint on glass.

Install windows.

It knocked the Vols down to the Sun Bowl.

What happened after that was hard for outsiders to believe. Tennessee won 26 consecutive meetings, enough to generate paranoia among some UK fans, almost enough to turn them against the color orange and the “wooo” in “Rocky Top.” How to measure such a time frame? Tennesseans have a yardstick. Lamar Alexander went from governor to Australia and back on a slow boat. He served as president of the university. From that good gig, he became secretary of education. He went from there to the U.S. Senate where he became a landmark, some-

Check In! If you are on TennCare, medical checkups for children under age 21 are free. Call your doctor or the health department to schedule your child’s visit.

Check Up: Annual checkups are important to prevent diseases and chronic medical conditions. Your child can get a health history, a complete physical exam, lab tests (as appropriate), vision and hearing screenings, immunizations, developmental and behavioral screenings (as appropriate), advice on keeping your child healthy, dental referrals and medical referrals if necessary.

Check Back with your doctor by keeping your follow-up appointment, your next scheduled well-child visit or by contacting your doctor if a problem occurs.

thing like the Washington Monument.

Meanwhile, Kentucky coach Jerry Claiborne lost five to Tennessee. Bill Curry lost seven. Hal Mumme lost four. Guy Morris didn’t stay long but lost both tries. Rich Brooks went 0-for-7. Joker Phillips started on the same track.

Even though the weather sometimes intruded and the ball took unpredictable bounces and some games were entirely too close, Tennessee learned to take the outcome for granted. Lexington or Knoxville, the end was always the same.

Kentuckians never accepted forever.

They thought of it as only a trend, to eventually be halted and perhaps reversed.

Indeed, Kentucky defeated Tennessee in 2011. On the frost-bitten brown turf of Commonwealth Stadium, the nation’s longest football monopoly came to a crashing conclusion. The Wildcats inflicted an ugly scar on Big Orange history. It was only 10-7 but it looked worse. Derek Dooley took the hit.

Randy Sanders, ex-Vol mentioned above, was a Tennessee player and coach for 22 years. He was eventually persuaded to go away. He chose Kentucky or maybe it was the other way around. He did bring

considerable knowledge.

Sanders was the genius who plotted how-to-do-it for the 2011 shocker.

Kentucky won without a quarterback. Reserve receiver Matt Roark occupied the position in the absence of injured teammates. He couldn’t throw a lick but completed four of six for 15 yards. He ran the Vols ragged, gaining 124.

For much of the afternoon, Tennessee appeared discombobulated or disinterested. There were unconfirmed whispers that certain key Volunteers didn’t want to qualify for some peanut bowl that would involve three or four weeks of practice drudgery without significant reward.

Tennessee fans were left somewhere between disappointed and furious, depending on emotional involvement or personal losses. Kentucky fans were numb. Old-timers had forgotten how to respond to a victory over the Vols.

Once upon a time, there had been a beer barrel for the winners. Some seemed to recall that it had been abandoned.

Then, as now, both teams were mediocre, bad or worse but we have all learned the awful difference in winning and losing.

THE HUNGER GAMES - 5 PM CATCHING FIRE - 8 PM

MOVIE LINE 922-2187

An amazing number of Tennessee-Kentucky games have turned out the same way. Some included suspense. One lasted into overtime. Some were more meaningful than others.

Twice since Ronald Reagan was re-elected president of the United States, the Wildcats have defeated the Volunteers.

Once was 1984, when John Majors was coach.

Randy Sanders from Morristown was a Vol freshman.

He had nothing to do with the 17-12 defeat but he is a point of reference.

That loss was unexpected. Tennessee had a pretty good team and some very good players: Tony Robinson, Johnnie Jones, Dale Jones, Tim McGee, Charles Davis, Bruce Wilkerson, David Douglas, David Moon, Reggie and Raleigh McKenzie, Carl Zander, Jimmy Colquitt, Fuad Reveiz, etc.

That setback was the only surprise in a 7-3-1 season.

Buttermilk pie revisited

Joe Yarkovich determines that the animal is safely sedated and in need of no more drugs. Had the animal been overly sedated and in danger, Yarkovich would have injected a stimulant.

Bear with us

If you’re planning to bake the buttermilk pie we published recently, there was a cup of sugar dropped out of the filling recipe. Here is the corrected version: Granddaddy’s Buttermilk Pie 1-½ 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 till well blended. Add flour and vanilla, beat until smooth. Stir in buttermilk. Pour into prepared pie shell and bake at 350 degrees approx. an hour or until set.

Overnight hikers at LeConte Lodge got a once-in-alifetime opportunity recently when a “nuisance” bear was caught, examined and released by a wildlife biologist from the National Park Service. The bear – a young male whose weight was estimated at about 200 pounds – had been hanging around the popular destination for about a month and was becoming “friendlier” every day.

Authorities at LeConte alerted the park service, and these pictures show what followed.

Because the weather was misty and rainy, Yarkovich elected to treat his “patient” under a porch roof. This protected both the animal and the medical supplies.

Grinning assistants Jon Jacobus, Brett Graham, Austin Bush, Chris Verdin and Anna Yohe are thrilled to help carry the bear up the hill.

At age 5, Betsy was a huge admirer of Mahalia Jackson and even prayed that someday she would get to hear her sing in person. She says her prayers were answered 10 years later when she and her sister were asked to open for Mahalia at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum.

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Keeping your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core strong is one of the keys to long-term health and stability as you age.

Essentially, the core is your body minus legs and arms. The key muscles in the core are in your belly and mid- and lower back. Among them are muscles with names like multifidus, interspinalis and intertransversi. They are part of a network of muscles, tendons and ligaments that runs from the thighs to the chest and supports the spine. These muscles, in addition to controlling all full-body

motion, also influence a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posture. The core muscles help keep the spine, ribs and pelvis in alignment. Core strength is especially important if you have an athletic interest.

Numerous exercises are available for you to strengthen your core. A good one is the crunch.

The traditional sit-up, experts now agree, can be more harmful than beneficial because of the way it can compress the lower spine. A properly executed crunch, with your arms folded across your chest,

uses abdominal muscles to raise the head and trunk just slightly off the floor. Increasing strength is not the only goal. Flexibility in the hips is also crucial to keep the back from overworking. Yoga and pilates are excellent tools to increase flexibility. Talk with your chiropractor about what you can do to enhance your strength and flexibility.
