BUZZ To our Union County readers: It is with a heavy heart that the Shopper-News is announcing it is discontinuing its Union County edition after its April 26 edition.

We greatly value the people and communities in this beautiful part of East Tennessee; however, we have been unable to sustain profitable operations here. This has forced us to re-evaluate our business strategy.

We very much appreciate the many readers and advertisers who have long supported the Union County Shopper-News.

Our parent publication, the News Sentinel, will continue to cover news as it arises in the county, and readers are encouraged to submit story suggestions to the Knox County editions of the Shopper-News at news@shoppernewsnow. com as well as to news@ knoxnews.com.

Thank you.

Shoppers add sports columnist

Jesse Smithey, former News Sentinel prep sports writer, joins the Shopper team and will be writing about all things UT sports related, with some preps and other subjects thrown in. Check out his first column, which will continue in Halls and other Knox County Shoppers.

Water quality and missions, too

Cross Connections, a Corryton business featured recently by the Halls Business and Professional Association, has a simple motto: “If water runs through it, we can do it.”

The full-service plumbing company also does good work in the community.

it’s more than that. They want the farmers market to be a place where the community comes together, where farmers meet and exchange ideas, where people just have a good time.

And they’ve succeeded. Even on days when there’s not much foot traffic, the farmers and vendors are talking, having fun, and even grilling out.

“The biggest thing is that we always have fun,” said Bergeron.

“Everybody gets along, and I like it that way.”

There have been challenges along the road. Finding vendors was one. Another was helping

The Union County Farmers Market opened for its first season in the summer of 2011. Back then, they had about eight vendors, a startup grant from the East Tennessee Community Foundation and a vision.

This year, they’ve got more than 20 vendors to start the season.

And they’ve still got that vision.

Beth Bergeron coordinates the farmers market out of the Union County UT Extension, and Donna Riddle serves on the board. They said that their vision has always included folks buying local products and eating local foods, but

customers understand that “more isn’t necessarily better.”

“I think they’re wow-ed by volume,” said Bergeron. “They think that if you’re not big, you can’t meet their needs.”

Those 20-plus vendors run the gamut, though. From produce to farm-fresh meat to local honey to nursery plants and more, there’s more than enough at the Union County Farmer’s Market to fill any fridge.

“We have the whole gamut,” said Riddle. “People can choose the food system they want, but our farmers’ produce has been picked in the last 24 hours in most cases.”

What’s more, several farmers market vendors this year are farm businesses owned by local youths, students who are learning the farming way of life, hoping to pay their way to college and keeping their family farms viable.

“These kids are figuring out whether farming is something they want to do, figuring out what they can do to make family farms go today,” Bergeron said.

Advertising for the farmers market has reached down into Knox County, and organizers hope to draw folks from outside Union County to shop up here.

Catching up with Miss Food City

By Shannon Carey Union County’s Callie Corum won the title Miss Food City in October 2016, and since then her schedule has been busy and celebrity-studded. After a short winter break, her itinerary kicked into high gear last weekend with the Food City 500.

We caught up with Corum before the big race, and she said the experience has been filled with fun so far, as she juggled a busy school schedule with Food City appearances.

“It truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experi-

By Shannon Carey

ence,” she said. “You gain a whole new family when you join the Food City family.”

Corum has signed autographs together with racing legend Richard Petty three times, met the Earnhardt racing family, visited the Richard Childress shop, and been part of the unveiling of a completely remodeled and reimagined Food City store in Oak Ridge. Near Christmastime, she rode in a private jet to deliver Christmas gifts to Food City racers in four cities.

But, she made sure to keep time clear for the Christmas party at her “home store” in

Maynardville.

Last week, she attended Food City Family Race Night in Knoxville on Thursday, signing with racing celebrities past and present, then headed to Bristol. She visited a children’s hospital Friday morning, then attended a flurry of events like the Drivers Dinner with drivers and their teams. She ended the weekend in Victory Lane, greeting drivers with Food City CEO Steve Smith and UT football legend Peyton Manning.

A fond farewell

The first issue of the Union County Shopper-News is open on my desk as I write this. It’s dated May 30, 2006, and former Union County Clerk Jim Houston is on the cover announcing his retirement.

On page three, there’s a perky intro and an even perkier photo of yours truly, announcing a great new paper for Union County.

“A good, informative paper gives a community something to be proud of, something to look forward to. It binds the community together with a common voice,”

I wrote.

You may have read elsewhere that today’s will be the last issue of the Union County Shopper-News.

I’ll leave it to others to hash out the how and why of that decision.

What I want to do is reminisce, talk about the times we’ve shared.

Let’s take a look at this 2006 paper, the one a little old lady called the Shopper-News office to thank us for. She said it was like finding a rainbow in her mailbox. It was an election year, with no fewer than three contestants for the office Jim Houston would leave vacant.

SUBOXONE Treating opiate addiction

There’s an article about Frankie Morgan winning the state wrestling title. The Valley Boys are in here, looking much smaller than they do these days, but I hear they’re still making great music.

There’s a two-page spread for Hensley’s IGA, and ads from folks like Union County Chiropractic and Flowers by Bob who have been with us from the beginning.

Food City would come later. A lot has changed. Paulette Elementary School was built, and I was there for the ground breaking. Same for the Luttrell Library and Union

And boy, do I have some great tales to tell.

There was the time I went up in a four-seater airplane with Larry Lay and former state Rep. William Baird and took some really spectacular aerial photos of Norris Lake. I also kissed the tarmac when we landed, but let’s not dwell on that.

There was the afternoon I spent in Dolly Merritt’s kitchen as she showed me how to make her famous chicken and dumplins.

Top Flight BBQ will serve downhome breakfast and lunch. Eric Holcomb and Friends will play live bluegrass music starting at 10 a.m., and FSG Bank will sponsor Derby-themed children’s activities.

The market will be 9 a.m. to noon at Wilson Park throughout the season, with special events to be held every second Saturday.

Sweetly Smuckers will visit the market May 13, with their famous doughnuts and pretzels. The annual Youth and Corn Festival will be held the first Saturday in August, with the market fee

waived for corn vendors.

Bergeron said the Union County Farmers Market is going through the process to be able to accept SNAP benefits, and they should be set up for that later in the season.

The starting slate of vendors includes: Fall Creek Apiary, Floating Axe Farm, Guzzle Hollow Farm, Hansard Farm, Hill Top Farm, Joe’s Garden, Jones and Company Meat Sales, Keck’s KackleBerries, Kettle Hollow Farm, Little Valley Nursery, New Roots Nursery, Nicely’s Goat’s Milk Soap and More, Papa’s Happy Hollow Farm, Ropes and Wings Ranch, Summer’s Agriculture, Seven Springs Farm to Table, Teresa’s Bakery, Tharp’s Plants and Produce, Tillman Rabbit Farm, Tindell Family Farm and True Vine Farm.

Miss Food City “It’s a blast, and I’m loving every minute of it,” Corum said. “I love being able to represent Food City and being part of a company that shares the same values as I do.”

Corum’s family has a background in racing, from NASCAR to the dirt tracks.

Corum said she feels like “a bridge between the pageant world and the racing world.”

“It just fits so well with my life,” she said.

The highlight of all this, though, has been getting to meet her hero Richard Petty. She said he has been kind to her and has taught her a lot through his interactions with the public at signings. Corum recalled seeing Petty interact with an elderly couple at a signing, taking the time to speak with them even though there was a line. When the couple walked away with their autograph, the man had tears in his eyes. “(Petty) is never rushed,” she said. “He spends time with each and every person.

You can see what an impression you have on people just by taking a few minutes and talking to them.”

In coming weeks, Corum will attend a tractor show in Bristol, the Food City Golf Tournament in Pigeon Forge, Food City store open-

And there were all those times I found myself with an hour to kill and just drove your backroads to see what was around the next corner.

There were scandals and hard times, too. Driving to Tazewell to sit through that big voter fraud trial.

Jail lawsuits. Embezzlement charges. You name it.

We didn’t dwell on those at the Shopper, but we covered them, and sometimes our pens made people mad, and sometimes we made mistakes.

I wasn’t the only scribbler recording your stories, either. I stepped aside for some years, first to have a baby and later to be the Shopper’s sales manager.

Stephany Davis was there for you then, and Cindy Taylor, and Libby Morgan.

Bonnie Peters has written history for us from the start, and Marvin West was a fixture with his columns.

Ronnie Mincey was a later addition. There were folks behind the scenes whose names you never saw, folks like Carol Springer, Janna Barrett and Melanee McGill working layout, and Patty Fecco, Darlene Kinsey and Beverly Holland on ad sales.

So, from all of us, thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives, to tell your stories. Thank you for supporting us as you have.

One last thing. Your community, your personality, your stories, those are valuable. Hold your heads high, and don’t let anyone tell you different.

I know I’ll cherish them for the rest of my life.

Union County Chamber of Commerce interim president Thomas Skibinski announced April 20 that the Chamber has a new mission statement and scope of Skibinski work document. These, he said, are intended to give focus to the Chamber’s efforts in the future.

“Defining the Chamber’s role in Union County will help us stay on task and keep from duplicating efforts with city or county government or other agencies in Union County,” said Skibinski. “These are intended to be living documents that future Chamber boards can revise as needed.”

The documents were developed by the Chamber’s executive committee, including Skibinski, board chair Kathy Chesney, vice chair Mayme Taylor and secretary Shannon Carey.

The Chamber’s mission statement reads, “The Union County Chamber of Commerce is an organization of Union County business people working to promote and protect the interests of Union County.”

The Chamber’s scope of work is as follows: 1. Promote Union County Business a. Monthly networking events b. Business of the month to be featured on Chamber-preferred media

Craft Center fundraiser The board of directors of the Appalachian Arts Craft Center, a nonprofit arts center in Norris, is holding an “SOS” (Save Our Shop) fundraiser. The hope is to raise $14,000 for a new roof for the Center, located at 2716 Andersonville Highway.

“The Craft Center has been a part of this community for more than 45 years and in this particular building for 30,” said board president Mary Lee Keeler. “This is the original roof and it has been patched many times. It’s critical that we replace it before we experience any interior damage.

We’re living on borrowed time.”

Anyone interested in making a tax-deductible donation may do so by mail to AACC, P.O. Box 608, Norris, TN 37828, with “Roof” in the memo line; online at appalachianarts.net; or by stopping by the Center and donating with cash, check, debit or charge.

Blending science and writing

Annie Howard’s second-grade class at Maynardville Elementary recently studied the life cycle of a butterfly. Students journaled daily about the growth of their caterpillars as they turned into chrysalides, which later emerged as butterflies. Students not only learned about the life cycle, but also about what to feed their butterflies. Various writing skills were incorporated daily as well.

The result: 10 beautiful Painted Lady butterflies were released at MES, plus each student wrote and illustrated their very own “Diary of a Caterpillar” book. Photo submitted

Chiropractic Outlook

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC

In the United States, chiropractic is often considered a complementary health approach. According to a recent survey about 8 percent of adults (more than 18 million) and nearly 3 percent of children (more than 2 million) had received chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation in the past 12 months.

Additionally, an analysis of nhis cost data found that adults in the United States spent approximately $11.9 billion out-of-pocket on visits to complementary health practitioners—$3.9 billion of which was spent on visits to practitioners for chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation.

Many people who seek chiropractic care have low-back pain. People also commonly seek chiropractic care for other kinds of musculoskeletal pain (e.g., Neck, shoulder), headaches, and extremity (e.g., Hand or foot) problems.

An analysis of the use of complementary health approaches for back pain, based on data from the survey, found that chiropractic was by far the most com-

monly used t h e r a p y.

A m o n g survey respondents who had used any of these therapies for their back pain, 74 percent (approximately 4 million americans) had used chiropractic. Among those who had used chiropractic for back pain, 66 percent perceived “great benefit” from their treatments.

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on the relationship between the body’s structure—mainly the spine—and its functioning. Although practitioners may use a variety of treatment approaches, they primarily perform adjustments (manipulations) to the spine or other parts of the body with the goal of correcting alignment problems, alleviating pain, improving function, and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Au revoir. Dang it!

It has been a joy to write for the Shopper for about 20 years now; but, as has been said many times, even good things come to an end. It has been a joy to participate with the people of Union County in preserving our history. I’ve made many and lasting friends with the staff and writers, and I am grateful for that.

I began working on Union County history in the fall of 1990 and was appointed Union County Historian in March of 1994. I’m proud to be from a long line of writers

Bonnie Peters

– Knox County Mayor Frederick Steidinger Heiskell, of the Knoxville Register and known as the Father of Tennessee Journalism; Mayor Samuel Gordon Heiskell, author of Andrew Jackson and Early Tennessee History; and John Netherland Heiskell of the Arkansas

Gazette. I’m almost ready to publish my ninth book; but until then look for me on the internet website HistoricUnionCounty.com.

Thank you, my readers, for every story, every picture and every contribution – George Lanz for that mess of ramps; Steve Epperson for the mess of trout, Sharps Chapel for the fish fries, Valalee Smith for the beets and turnips; Geri White Lett for maps and books; Mary Barker for the spring wildflower walks; for flowers, plants and vin-

tage seeds; and so much, much more.

Oh yes, I remember all those really funny stories – especially the ones I can’t print.

I could not have gone this road alone, and I thank you so much for all you have done. I continue to seek your help in digging up history.

The City of Luttrell is working on a project, and if anyone knows of a military person from Luttrell being killed or missing in action in any war from the American Revolution to present day, please call me at 865687-3842 or email me at bhpeters@att.net. See you on HistoricUnionCounty. com.

Vol fans, watch NFL draft at own risk University of Tennessee football fans actually have a valid reason to watch this week’s NFL Draft.

Pretty weird, right?

After all, no Vol was drafted in 2016. No Tennessee player was selected in 2015, either.

And it wasn’t like the 2014 NFL Draft did the Vols a favor. Sure, offensive lineman Ja’Wuan James went 19th overall to the Dolphins. Other than him, Tennessee boasted just a pair of sixth-rounders in linemen Zach Fulton and Daniel McCullers.

That’s a three-year span that an FCS school would brag about. Not a storied SEC program. You’re not going to sway an Alabama five-star verbal commitment over to Tennessee with that kind of résumé.

This time around, though, five – maybe six – Tennessee football players are expected to be drafted, the most since six Vols were selected in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Jesse Smithey

But I’m curious as to how the Tennessee fan base will react.

When the NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night and defensive lineman Derek Barnett goes in the top 10 or 15, will Tennessee fans rejoice?

When all-purpose offensive back Alvin Kamara possibly sneaks into the latter picks of the first round, will Vol fans tweet it up?

What about when those two picks snowball into quarterback Josh Dobbs, defensive back Cam Sutton and receiver Josh Malone going in the first 4-5 rounds? Linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin may get drafted, too. Will Tennessee fans enjoy it and genuinely be happy for the program

FAITH NOTES

and those players?

I suspect that will be next to impossible.

Because, save for Dobbs getting drafted, you’ll probably just get upset again if you’re a Tennessee fan.

You’ll only be reminded of what should have been this past fall, when the Vols were the clear favorites to win the SEC East and to return to a high-profile bowl game.

When Barnett gets drafted, you’ll say: “How was the defense that bad with him up front? He broke Reggie White’s sack record!”

When Kamara gets picked, you’ll say: “Why didn’t Butch Jones use him more?”

When Sutton goes, you’ll say: “I thought he’d have played better this past season.”

Then the demons will take hold and you’ll be reminded of the Texas A&M loss and how Tennessee inexcusably lost (coming off a bye) to a putrid South Carolina team with a nobody

quarterback.

And then, the Vanderbilt loss that ended up sending Tennessee to the Music City Bowl will resurface and your whole weekend will be ruined.

Yeah.

So. Maybe you shouldn’t watch the NFL Draft at all.

I’ll save you the trouble. The first round will take hours. The Cleveland Browns have the first overall pick and screw it up.

Again.

Texas A&M defensive lineman Myles Garrett will inexplicably get selected before Tennessee’s Barnett, even though Barnett outperformed him in SEC play.

And countless offensive linemen, who you’ve never heard of and likely won’t again, will go in the first round.

But if you, Tennessee fan, must watch, it all starts at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 27, on ESPN. Good luck.

You are reading a piece of history. Many readers will remember a lead article from last year, “Death of a Funeral Home”. Today I am saddened to report another death. This issue of the Union County Shopper News will be the last.

There are things I suppose we all take for granted. It was inconceivable to me that Ailor (Byrd) Mortuary would close, especially in that particular line of work. As many joked throughout the years, “People were just dying to get in.”

It seems more realistic, though no less sad, that a newspaper would cease publication. I remember as a child the chosen newspaper in our house was The Knoxville Journal. My father, never a voracious reader and educated only to (not through) the second grade, faithfully paid a subscription to that paper until the day he died.

The Knoxville Journal revived a few years ago, but I think it again stopped printing.

Nevertheless, I was shocked to learn that the Union County Shopper News was folding. In earlier years, even from my childhood, my family received the Halls Shopper by mail.

I credit Sandra Clark with extending the Shopper to the surrounding areas, giving each community its own printed voice to share its uniqueness and culture. (Sandra will be embarking on a new venture beginning May 1. You can find Sandra online at KnoxTNToday.com.)

I found the Shopper papers traditionally filled with positive, upbeat items of general interest to the community. It was so refreshing to read a paper provided to the public at no cost that bragged on

Ronnie Mincey Teacher Time the community and made you glad you lived there.

I have been privileged for the past three years and four months through this column to celebrate the lives and memory of so many who influenced my life. I am indebted to Sandra Clark for this great opportunity.

I tried to remain true to the positive spirit of the paper. There are two articles the public never saw that might have crossed that line. One (my absolute best) was about my one and only experience with being audited by the IRS. Sandra suggested that it might flag me for further unwanted attention from that organization.

Another involved my father “setting out” a family pet. Sandra thought that might upset humanitarians, even though the article ended with Dad going back and rescuing Brownie.

So many of you who have read my column have been so very kind, and I appreciate each of you. I am saddened at this loss of the Union County Shopper News as a vital celebration of unique local history and culture.

There are so many things I had in mind to write, and I will miss writing for you, just as I hope you will miss reading my weekly attempts to share humor and good memories of those I have loved so much.

But the cliché says that “when one door closes, another opens.” Perhaps someday we shall meet again through the printed word.
