Celebrating tradition
The camera finds Bob Temple, probably because he’s having so much fun. It’s 10:30 a.m. and he’s chowing down a full plate of ham, potatoes and peas. “Breakfast or lunch, Bob?” “Brunch,” he smiles. Temple is an unsung hero of Habitat for Humanity’s local work. Read Sandra Clark on page 4
Butch Jones’ first year The best thing Butch Jones did during his first year at Tennessee was win friends and influence people. That combination provided a comfortable security blanket against the shrapnel of a disappointing season that looked worse than the record. Nobody that matters blamed Butch.

Bill Landry visits museum open house Union County Historical Society celebrated the 2013 Christmas season by hosting an open house and book signing by local author Bill Landry at the Union County Museum and Library in Maynardville. Bill’s new book is “Tellin’ It for the Truth.” It was an opportunity to mingle with and thank many of the volunteers who have devoted their time and talents to the preservation of Union County history. For a small county, the Union County Historical Society has been able to capture and preserve the genealogy and history of many families as well as display many relics and historical documents for present and future generations. Don’t take the traditional coffee break lightly – interesting things can happen when a few motivated people get together to share ideas. In the late 1970s, Rohm & Haas had quite a Union County delegation employed. Margaret Cobble Wolfe, Gene Tharpe, Carlos Carter and maybe a few others floated the idea of the need for an historical society. An organizational meeting was scheduled at the Tharpe home, groundwork was laid and Carter wrote the charter to establish
Homeownership is about people

New streetlights, sidewalks … coming to Maynardville By Libby Morgan Maynardville city manager Jack Rhyne spoke to a small group with updates about plans for downtown. “Forty-nine new LED streetlights will be installed, starting soon, weather permitting. The LED lights are better and cheaper to operate. “The city is applying for a 95/5 (percent) grant for $276,000 for new sidewalks for side streets that intersect with State Highway 33. “As part of the overall downtown plan, some of those side streets will possibly become one-way streets – with approval by the planning
commission” he said. “We hope we will be a part of a new initiative of UT, where students will do a few small town projects involving architecture, legal issues, transportation and engineering.” Drawings created by the Community Design Center through the PlanET project are on display in the city meeting room. The group studied the drawings and discussed the placement of the planned clock tower, the look and wording of downtown signs, and how to better coalesce the center of Maynardville.

State parks set ‘first hikes’ of 2014 Tennessee State Parks will sponsor free, guided hikes on New Year’s Day. Each state park will host its own special hike in the first few days of the New Year as part of the quarterly hikes program. “Our First Hikes have been very popular and we are excited to continue this series in the New Year,” Department of Environment and Conservation deputy commissioner Brock Hill said. “The First Hikes offer a great way to get outside, exercise, enjoy nature and welcome the New Year with friends and family.” Norris Dam: Meet at the Andrew Ridge Trailhead off the West Campground Road at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 1 for a 1.8 mile hike. Be sure
to bring a headlamp or flashlight with extra batteries. Dress for the weather with layers of warm clothing. Info: 865-426-7462. Big Ridge: Let’s work off those holiday meals with a nature hike along the Chestnut Ridge Trail. Everyone is invited to meet Ranger Wilson at the CCC stone building at 2 p.m. for this approximately two-mile hike. Wear sturdy footwear and dress for the weather. Info: 865-992-5523. Fort Loudoun: No reservation required, just meet at the park visitor center at 10 a.m. for a wintertime hike on the Ridge Top Trail.

waterfalls, through Hemlock and Beech Forest before its confluence with the Caney Fork. This guided hike will cover the history of the park, common flora and fauna of the area and ongoing conservation projects. January days are typically brisk and blustery in this area, so check the forecast beforehand and come prepared for the weather. The 2014 First Hikes are designed for all ages and abilities.

Long-range greenway planning By Libby Morgan Ellen Zavisca, chair of the Great Smoky Mountains Regional Greenway Council, met with a group of Union County residents to discuss long-range plans for greenways, trails and blueways in the area. Zavisca asked attendees to rank preferences of connections to existing trails
and whether mountain bike trails should be a priority. “As a group, we seem to think a mountain bike trail would be costly and might fall into disuse in a few years. A marked trail in downtown Maynardville is at the top of the list, since it’s our most dense population,” said Beth Bergeron. Chamber president Julie
Graham said, “We’ve got a lot of homework to do. The blueways, though, on the lake, are a great starting point, since they don’t require any infrastructure costs.” (A blueway is a path mapped on water.) The Great Smoky Mountains Regional Greenway Council is a coalition of local governments, agencies
and individuals working together to coordinate, plan and promote greenway construction in the region. The council works toward implementing the master plans developed from these meetings to connect a system of greenways throughout the region linking to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Come to the water That silent night has passed …
I pray that each and every person in Union County has a wonderful, safe, and drug-free holiday season. As we each count our blessings, please remember those who have lost loved ones this holiday season and the families who face challenges due to drug addiction. As the New Year approaches, I will continue to pursue justice for victims and prosecute violent offenders to the fullest extent that the law allows. I will continue to address our ever-growing drug problem through education, prevention, and prosecution.
Happy Holidays! from
Lori Phillips-Jones District Attorney General
We have been to the manger. We have Fr. Aaron Wessman told it on the mountains that the Lord has come. We have rested in God, as merry gentle men and women, because we have visited that little town of Bethlehem, heard what the angels had to sing, and therefore have proclaimed joy to the world. But that silent night has passed, and now we must move on. This special time of year has proven for ages that even the biggest scrooge has the ability to catch the Christmas spirit. To catch the spirit that our God loves us so much that he came as a little child—a child who would one day save all humankind. But though even a scrooge can catch the beauty of this season, it is difficult for almost all of us to hold on to it. For once that silent night has passed, the lights have been taken down, the ham has been eaten, the presents lay opened, scattered on the floor, and the family has returned home, that spirit that once shone so brightly in our hearts begins to fade.
For that silent night has passed, and we must move on. But do we have to move on? The challenge for us as Christians is not, perhaps, to catch the Christmas spirit. It is, however, to keep that spirit burning in our hearts. To see that every night is a silent night, when our God comes to visit us. To see that every day we should sing joy to the world, for our sins have been forgiven. And that every mountain must proclaim that nothing will ever be the same. For every second of every minute of our lives has changed, because of what came upon a midnight clear so many years ago. So perhaps our neighbors who keep their lights hanging in the trees all year round are on to something. Perhaps we don’t have to move on past that silent night. For each night, each day, our God has come to save us and set us free.

Bob Temple with homeowner Nikia Thompson
Sandra Clark Temple is an unsung hero of Habitat for Humanity’s local work. The man who developed Temple Acres in Halls (and built several other homes) has been involved with Habitat virtually since its inception, swinging a hammer and donating money for materials. “I’ve never seen a family so involved,” he said of Nikia Thompson. Folks from sponsoring churches Fountain City United Methodist and Middlebrook Pike United Methodist had gathered to dedicate the new home on Washington Pike just a block from Belle Morris Elementary School. The owner is Nikia Thompson, who will live there with her children, Domenic, 11, and Darmonie, 6. Nikia has been working since age 16 and has dreamed of her own place. She was accepted and be-
gan the Habitat process in 2012. That meant minimizing her debt and attending regular classes in addition to her already considerable responsibilities. With the support of her family, she persevered. “Family is safe. Family is everything,” she said in a blurb on Habitat’s website. Nikia’s uncle, a professional carpenter, helped the Habitat volunteers and professionals construct her new home. Her grandmother, Sarah Edwards, brought food every day. “Best cobbler pie you’ve ever had,” said Edwards Randy Frye, pastor of Fountain City UMC. Grandpa Robert Edwards Sr. just beamed. “We’re so proud of Nikia.
4 • DECEMBER 28, 2013 • UNION COUNTY Shopper news She’s a wonderful girl.” He had promised at the outset to sit in a chair and supervise the construction. Nikia is proud of her kids and shared son Domenic’s message to her in a homemade Mother’s Day card. “I love you so much! ... I know it’s very hard doing things on your own, but as life continues it will get better. ... If you follow these four things we will make it in life: Hope for joy, justice in life, live and honor, and strength to complete twists and turns.” In addition to her grandparents, uncle and the kids, both of Nikia’s parents have helped, as has her younger brother and sister. “The process has been amazing, and I am blown away,” she said on the Habitat website. “Everything you pour into life comes back to you.” Nikia recently accepted a new job, and on Dec. 21, she received the keys to her new house. The next morning she was at Fountain City UMC, speaking at the early service. “Habitat has an unbelievable record of (people) paying off their homes,” said Temple. “Even during the recession the default rate was low.” Middlebrook Pike UMC associate pastor, Evelyn Harris, offered a calming prayer with little cousin Zion, who was racing around in a Santa hat. John Voss, project coordinator from Middlebrook, said the church has sponsored “8 or 9 houses over 10-12 years.” And Rick Murphree, a retired banker, said it’s easy to recruit volunteers. “People like to be involved in tangible things.” “It’s not about the house,” said Voss. “It’s about the people.”
Holiday joy. The Holidays are a time when families get even closer. And we know a thing or two about close families, because not only do we serve them, but we are one. Our family wishes your family the closest Holiday yet.

Butch Jones’ first year
The best thing Butch Jones did during his first year at Tennessee was win friends and influence people. That combination provided a comfortable security blanket against the shrapnel of a disappointing season that looked worse than the record. Nobody that matters blamed Butch. Jones made a remarkable impact on former Volunteers. He treated them with respect, recognized their contributions to the happy part of Tennessee football history and convinced most that he can coach. Jones gave hope to the beat-up fan base. People quoted his catchy slogans as if they were scripture. Some

think next year will be better. Some are again blindly optimistic. Some realize reconstruction may take longer. It is called a process – culture change, positive attitude, attention to detail, family atmosphere. I do believe his brick-bybrick building plan might work – if it doesn’t take too long. I’ve been told that Coach
made a speech at Rucker Stewart Middle School in Gallatin where super recruit Josh Malone’s mother is a teacher. He talked for most of an hour about character and discipline and reputation, about leadership and what type young men he seeks for Tennessee football. Think about that: He used his time to win a few young friends and influence that age group in defining a purpose. Amazing! Jones pushed his first squad of Volunteers pretty close to the limit but won admiration by working as hard as he asked them to work and won hearts by being the real deal, by caring for them as human beings.
Journey in, journey out A highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Holy Way; the unclean shall not travel on it, but it shall be for God’s people; no traveler, not even fools shall go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Isaiah 35: 8-10 NRSV)
means a day (as in bonjour) or a day’s work or travel (from the Latin diurnum, which means day). The dictionary I consulted also adds that “Journey suggests prolonged traveling, especially to a particular destination or for a specific object.” And that reminded me of my experiences with labyrinths.

You did read what some seniors said? That they wished they had another year to play for this man. Such thinking might explain why the team, even when things went bad, did not quit. Academic progress by the players got my attention. Jones said the right things. He was the master motivator. Making friends and influencing people are basics in Butch Jones’ recruiting plan. The man has a winning approach. He looks you in the eye. He remembers names. I do believe that plan is working. Jones establishes relationships that are perceived as sincere. Parents trust him. He may actually take title to the state. The overall commitment count is astounding. This coach is no phony.
He is selling what he actually has, the place and the people. When he says Tennessee is special, he is believable. He actually knows who the Vols beat in bowl games past. He knows why Bob Neyland’s name is on the stadium. He is quite different from recent leaders. The checkerboards are secure. Butch appreciates tradition, even if he did the grey thing to encourage the children and give the marketing division something new to market. When he says he has the best coaching staff in the country, I may chuckle, but some of his assistants are obviously outstanding salespeople (think Tommy Thigpen). So, how do you sell losing? By turning it into a positive and calling it early
opportunity to play. How do you sell the future when there is so much uncertainty, new offensive line, open tournament at quarterback, probable makeover coming in the secondary? By pointing to where this staff has been and inviting study of what happened there. It is called a track record. Perhaps you noticed that Tennessee football wasn’t all that sharp in 2013. As a strategist, the coach graded out average. As a communicator, Butch Jones was outstanding. That rare skill, coupled with forthcoming recruiting rewards, faster, stronger, more athletic players, may sometime make him coach of the year. Marvin West invites reader reaction.

Midde school in the running
Coach Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B-ball report The Patriots boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team played five games the last week of school, and won the first three with big margins. Coach Shane Brown gives us the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report. Union County 75 Cumberland Gap 52 â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a good start to the week, beating Cumberland Gap, a team that plays extremely hard and is well coached. Brady Nease led all scorers with 27, Landon Muncey had a double double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Drew Fugate had 19 points. Union County 72 Washburn 25 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always good to win on the road, and we had a big first quarter at Washburn and kept the lead the entire game. All the kids got some good varsity minutes and we were pleased with everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort. Union County 78 South Greene 57 The South Greene win was a big one for our team, to stay in the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracket of the tourney.

Muncey
Coach Johnson had a great scouting report on them and the kids executed the game plan. Brady Nease was very good for us scoring 36 points. Muncey had another double double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. A good win to start the Christmas Tourney. Union County 59 Heritage 57 Heritage is a good team that is very disciplined on both ends of the court. They wanted to slow the game down and the first half we played at their pace. Coach Jon Smith had another great scouting report and we knew everything that was coming. The second half, I

think our press took a toll on them physically. They seemed tired by the end of the game. Jordan Oaks hit some big 3s to give us a lead in the third. We had an eight-point lead with 3:46 to go and had a few missed free throws and two turnovers. Heritage hit a two-pointer with eight seconds to go and we in-bounded the ball to Luke Shoffner, who made a great decision to drive and kick to Austin York who hit a 10-foot jump shot at the buzzer to give us a win. This was a good win for our program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to find a way to win in a tough environment. I was proud of the kids in the second half to

come back from an 11-point deficit at the half to battle back and have a chance to win late in the game. Austin made a big shot for us. Brady Nease led all scorers with 27 points. Landon Muncey had 11. York finished with 7, all in the 4th quarter. Union County 48 Wilson Central 83 Wilson Central is a very good basketball team. We came out flat to start the game and they took control midway through the first and we never got closer than seven points. I know fatigue played a big factor in the game, since we pressed the entire game the night before. It was good for our program to be in the championship game, I just wished we would have made a better showing. We head into Christmas break with an 11-5 record and a very tough stretch in January. We will continue to get better, and hopefully make a little run in the District Tourney.â&#x20AC;?

Chiropractic care and drugs Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC Fundamental tenets of chiropractic philosophy and practice are that it does not involve drug or surgical therapies. The core principle behind the practice of chiropractic is that a properly maintained and aligned body is capable in most instances of healing itself. A 2006 study by the respected U.S. Institute of Medicine estimated that some 1.5 million Americans are
sickened, injured or killed each year as a result of mistakes made in the prescribing, dispensing and taking of prescription drugs. The errors can be fatal: as many as 7,000 people die each year from those errors. And they are expensive: up to $3.5 billion is spent each year on treatment for drug-related injury. So common are the errors, the study found, that on average a hospital
patient will be subjected to some sort of medication error on each day of hospitalization. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a fact that some pain-killing medications serve only to mask a problem, and not correct it. Back pain, for instance, can be eased with medication, but chiropractic treatment has been proven effective in treating lower back pain. Surgery should also be a last resort approach for certain ailments. Naturally, leaders in various aspects of the
for students to participate. The health benefits extend to academics, because the kids feel better, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more engaged and more attentive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to introduce the kids to running so they can prepare for the 5K run at Big Ridge in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people have helped to get this going: the Chamber, the YMCA, the Ag Extension office, teacher and commissioner Jonathan Goforth, and many others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to change the schedule to accommodate the program is just wonderful. At the middle school level, adding running as an after-school program would have made it too difficult for families.â&#x20AC;?
