UT Extension program assistant Beth Bergeron talks pollinators and herbs in the Paulette Elementary School Community Garden. A new garden interest group, Garden Adventures, kicked off July 7. Photo by S. Carey
By Shannon Carey A brand-new group dedicated to all things gardening had its first interest meeting July 7. Garden Adventures is an offshoot of the Union County Farmers Market, born because, frankly, folks have questions. “They would come up to the UT Extension booth and ask things like, ‘What do I do with this?’ and ‘How do you keep the weeds out?’� said Beth Bergeron, UT Extension 4-H program assistant, avid gardener and Garden Adventures founder. Bergeron said the program will
be member-led, with the members determining scheduling and programs. For now, the group will meet at Paulette Elementary School, but Bergeron hopes to hold meetings “in the field,� too. She mentioned locations like Narrow Ridge Earth Literacy Center, Oakes Farm, Seven Springs Farm and the Well Being Conference Center in Tazewell as possible field trips. During the first meeting, members were asked to identify their interests. Suggestions included vermiculture (worm composting), pruning, straw-bale gardening,
raised-bed gardens, managing a “hoop house,� plant hybridization, seed saving, native wildflower gardening, mushroom growing and much more. “I hope we can come up with a million other ideas,� said Bergeron. “We’re trying to find out what they’re into.� Garden Adventurers came from all walks of life, from youths to retirees. Bergeron is especially interested in getting young people involved in gardening though. “We have several vendors at the farmers market who are kids. They’re starting to think about the

I’m running for superintendent of schools, and I’d appreciate your vote.� I replied, “I might vote for you on one condition.

The farmers market often features classes and activities, along with live music. “We’d love to see the farmers market be a spot where people come and stay for a while,� she said.

Common milkweed: Toxic, tasty, important It’s milkweed time in Tennessee, at least in north Knox County and neighboring Union County. My dependable orange buttery weeds have been going strong for weeks, but now are gradually fading away. Now I’m focused on their big cousins, the common milkweed. I’m following three or four large stands of over a hundred common milkweed plants each, up in the slightly higher and cooler environs of Union County. These are the milkweeds of monarch buttery fame. Lots of bees, bugs and butteries are visiting them, but so far, not a single monarch. Everyone knows the story of the monarch buttery – their amazing migrations to winter in clusters of thousands in trees along the Southern California coast and the mountains of northern Mexico. Maybe less known is a more worrisome part of the story, unless you’ve been watching for them – their alarmingly sharp decline in numbers over the last decade or so. Some factors similar to those that are causing the 50-70 percent decline in our migratory songbirds are plaguing the monarch butteries as well. Their wintering grounds are under attack by illegal timber cutting and agriculture, and their northern summering grounds are drenched with insecticides and covered with ďŹ elds of genetically-modiďŹ ed, caterpillar-killing crops. And their mainstay family of plants, the milkweeds, is becoming ever more scarce as agricultural areas give way to housing projects and shopping malls.
Dr. Bob Collier
So it turns out that a key ingredient in all this, and something we can actually do something about, is the dwindling supply of milkweed-family plants out there. Common milkweed grows much larger than its more familiar cousin, the orange buttery weed. It comes in robust plants three feet tall, with stout stems and large leaves. Its trademark blooms are unusual, 2- to 3-inch balls of around 50 tightly-arranged, ďŹ ve-petalled, pinkishwhite owers that, rather than being showy like their aming-orange cousins, tend to blend with the surroundings. They, too, like to grow in unmowed ďŹ elds and along roadsides and median strips, but they can easily be overlooked if you aren’t actually looking for them. The milky white sap that gives the milkweed family its name has some unusual properties. For instance, when a plant gets injured, say, a leaf broken off or chomped on by something, the sap immediately oozes out and hardens into a rubbery seal for the area. It is so rubbery, in fact, that our military studied it as a possible source for rubber for tires, etc. when during World War II our usual supplies from Southeast Asia were cut off. The hardened sap has been used for chewing gum as well; not recom-
mended because of its possible toxic substances! Many plants known to have medicinal properties are also poisonous in higher doses. Although common milkweed contains substances that even now are in use in human medicines, the plants are labelled “toxicâ€? or “poisonousâ€? in the wildower books. In some places, range animals hungry enough to ignore their bitter taste have died from eating them. Books on foraging for wild edible plants describe ways of ďŹ xing milkweed shoots or immature seed pods, describing them as “tastyâ€? and “delicious.â€? Now, I don’t eat poke greens; I’m leery of eating anything you have to boil and pour off three times to make it safe. The same goes
for a dinner of milkweed – why do it unless you’re starving in a wilderness somewhere? But – it’s a different story if you happen to be a monarch caterpillar, or one of the several other milkweedeating groupies out there. That sap and other juices contain a number of toxic substances that the monarchs are not affected by, and indeed, that they use to their great advantage in the big game of survival. And the story goes like this. Monarch butteries lay their eggs only on milkweed plants. And when those voracious eating machines, the caterpillars, devour many times their own body weights in toxin-rich milkweed leaves, they are somehow able to incorporate the
poisons into their body cells without suffering any ill effects. Then, when the caterpillars become adult butteries, their bodies still contain the toxins, which are so distasteful or sickening to their potential predators, like a hungry blue jay, for instance, that they quickly learn that monarchs are awful to eat. Monarchs are clearly marked in orange and black, which seems to be a warning color combination. Some other similar distasteful critters, such as the milkweed bug, an orange and black insect, carry the same warning colors. Most butteries it and utter nervously about. The buttery ďŹ eld guides all describe the monarchs’ slow and stately ight as a good ďŹ eld ID mark. It’s as if the monarchs know they’re bad to eat. This all works out so well that another buttery, the viceroy, is orange and black, nearly identical to the monarch, yet doesn’t feed on milkweed and would be totally edible for that hungry blue jay, but is protected from that fate by its close resemblance to something bad to eat. It’s called Batesian mimicry, a process discovered by a 19th century British naturalist, studying milkweed butteries in the Amazon jungle. Nature is amazing. In addition to their importance to the monarchs, milkweeds make for interesting garden plants in other ways. Their sweet nectar serves as an attraction for lots of other ying things. Stand and watch: bumblebees, honeybees, various ies and wasps, and
yes, several other species of butteries, swarm around them. Aphids suck their juices, ants tend the aphids to get their sugar-like secretions. And various spiders and an occasional praying mantis are there, to catch and eat any of the abovementioned food items. The milkweeds help the gardeners out in another way – they attract certain bugs that are natural enemies of some of our garden pests. For example, all those aphids on the milkweeds serve to attract those wonderful aphid-slayers, the ladybugs. And the milkweed nectar attracts a group of tiny wasps noted for laying their eggs on those big, fat, hungry tomato horn worms. You go, wasp larvae! Another plus for gardeners: common milkweeds are perennials, need little tending, are attractive and unusual. Like your daylilies, they just come growing back each year. And get this: monarch caterpillars are guaranteed to not eat anything else in your garden besides those milkweed plants. How wellbehaved is that? With our monarch butteries in such sharp decline, the scientists who study such matters urge folks to consider adding milkweeds to their gardens, and to avoid mowing stands of milkweed in ďŹ elds and roadsides where possible, allowing it to grow and mature each year. It is critically important that those plants are there for the monarchs, all along their migration routes between Mexico and Canada, to allow these amazing critters to reproduce and continue on their travels.

The shoulder is the third most common part of the body that chiropractors treat (after the lower back and the neck). As with any part of the body, the shoulder can become painful as a result of wear and tear over time, or as the result of a trauma, like a car accident or a fall. Shoulder pain often begins in the cervical spine, the upper portion of the spine. The nerves that control the hands, arms and shoulders pass through that section of the spine. If these nerves are irritated or impeded by vertebrae—the individual bones of the spine—that are out of line, shoulder muscles can become weak or tight. Muscles that are not working fully and freely can seriously impair the shoulder joint’s function. Any sport—like tennis, golf or baseball—or
any activity that requires lots of repetitive motion can strain the shoulder joint muscles. As the pain increases, people tend to simply use the shoulder less. This is not a good strategy because eventually the muscles will simply adjust to the new range of motion. In severe cases, a person can develop what’s called “frozen shoulder,� an essentially useless joint. Chiropractic treatment can help correct imbalances in the muscles. If misaligned vertebrae are irritating the nerves that serve the shoulder, your chiropractor can get at the root of the problem. Visit a chiropractor for advice on any pain you’re experiencing.

4 • JULY 13, 2016 • UNION COUNTY Shopper news to become a Union County teacher. Mr. Burke took time out of his busy schedule to personally type a response. I kept that letter and will publish it when I find it, for it not only shows the consideration of a great leader but says much about the philosophy of the Union County Public School System. I never missed an opportunity to let anyone know that I wanted to be a Union County teacher. I encountered a gentleman at Bobby Beeler’s store during the summer of 1984. He handed me a card and said, “My name’s David Coppock. I’m running for superintendent of schools, and I’d appreciate your vote.â€? I replied, “I might vote for
you on one condition. I’m at LMU to make a teacher, and if you’ll guarantee me a job I might just vote for you.� Mr. Coppock assured me he would hire me. After this encounter, I returned to Horace Maynard High School, where I was working on the summer youth program. I told principal Joe Day, who was running against (David) Coppock, “I just ran into your competition at Bobby Beeler’s store. He guaranteed me if he got elected he would give me a job. Can you do the same?� Mr. Day replied, “No, and he can’t either. There might not even be an opening when you graduate.� Mr. Burke advised me
that there were more jobs available in elementary education, but during high school I was inspired by my English teachers and decided that I would like to join their ranks. Accordingly, I spent four years at Lincoln Memorial University, majoring in English with a secondary teaching certification. I thought once that a job opening might have come too early. During my first year at LMU, my good friend Mark Gilbert went home midweek. He came back and told me, “Ronnie, I’ve got bad news. Miss Eileen died.� I couldn’t believe this, but Mark was insistent, exclaiming, “I swear to God, the woman’s dead, laying in

Fulmer was the best of the bunch, 41-5. All the above lost credit for one or more victories over Vanderbilt because the games were in December. As bad as was Derek Dooley’s coaching, his November record against SEC opponents was 8-4. Butch Jones is 8-4.
Ailor’s Funeral Home!� I finally accepted this as fact, to which Mark replied, “You stupid fool, you’d believe anything.� Not only was HMHS sophomore English teacher Miss Eileen Monroe still living, she continued to teach for several more years. I kept my eye on the staff at HMHS, and it became apparent toward the end of my college career that there just might not be an opening in English. I fell back on Mr. Burke’s advice and started taking graduate courses toward elementary certification. Things don’t always go according to plan – occasionally they turn out even better. More next week.
The easy part of the typical Tennessee schedule is not easy. The Vols are often at a psychological disadvantage. Going back to Neyland, Kentucky and Vandy would hide behind their disappointments and wait in ambush, hoping to disrupt or spoil the Orange season. So it remains, forever and ever, amen.

I’m not a feminist, but ‌ By Sandra Clark Times were tough when Patricia Head came to Knoxville in 1974 to teach physical education, train for the 1976 Olympics and work on her master’s degree at the University of Tennessee. At just 22, she was asked to coach the women’s basketball team – a job she left 38 years later when driven to retirement by early-onset Alzheimer’s. She never had a losing season and won eight national championships. Even more remarkable was her personal transformation from Trish Head to Pat Summitt. But think back to 1974. Richard Nixon resigned the presidency on Aug. 9. Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle in Zaire on Oct. 30. Pocket calculators had just come into use, and nobody had heard of a person-
al computer. With oil prices soaring and a global recession underway, politicians were wrestling with fallout from the previous year’s Roe v. Wade decision. Gerald Ford kept tripping over things, including his pardon of Richard Nixon and his amnesty for draft dodgers. In this context, Patricia Head earned $250 per month ‌ and she had to drive the team van and wash the uniforms. Until Dave Hart dismantled it, Pat and her ADs, Nancy Lay, Gloria Ray and Joan Cronan, built an organizational juggernaut. Not only did Pat assemble outstanding players and assistant coaches, but she also put together a team of trainers and managers, and public-relations and fundraising whizzes. And, most remarkably, these women achieved great
things, but they were not feminists. If you don’t believe that, all you had to do was ask. A friend’s daughter went to one of Pat’s camps at age 12. This was a camp for kids who would never make the high school team, much less play in college. Yet this kid came home glowing after each session. Pat motivated these girls to believe in their ability to set goals and reach them through hard work. Pat told them they might not be the most talented player on the court, but they could be the most competitive. She told players when their shots weren’t falling to double down on defense and rebounding. She left a legacy of excellence that inspires each of us. And that’s why a dusty orange gloom has settled over Knoxville during the past weeks. Pat is gone.

A good, true friend
Fairview Baptist Church celebrated the fourth of July in a big way – with lots of inflatables, bungy jumping, train rides, music and plentiful hot dogs and ice cream. “Freedomfest is our gift to everyone. We want the community to know that we love you and the Lord loves you,� said senior pastor Jeff LaBorg. The event, in its second year, welcomed guests who came out to celebrate the holiday and enjoy fellowship with friends and neighbors. Fairview Baptist Church is located at 7424 Fairview Road in Gibbs.

Give her a share in the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the city gates. (Proverbs 31: 31) Long years ago when I was in grammar school, I learned that the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament had 31 chapters and that the 31st chapter had 31 verses. So, the teacher explained, since 31 was also the maximum number of days in a month, every person on the planet could claim the verse from that chapter in Proverbs that corresponded with their birthday. I went home that afternoon and looked up Proverbs 31. My birthday is the first day of the month, and so my verse said, by way of introduction, “The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him:� Well, that was pretty disappointing for me! Beginning with the 10th verse, however, the words of King Lemuel are an acrostic poem about the capable wife. It is an ode, really, extolling her virtues, wisdom, industriousness, good business sense, faithfulness to her husband, generosity and happy children. In 1984, when I moved to New Jersey, my new nextdoor neighbor came over to chat. As we exchanged information about ourselves, I told her that I was a musician and what denomination I belonged to, and she immediately told me the church I should visit first. So the next Sunday, we went to the church she had recommended and took our 2-year-old Jordan to the toddlers’ class, where a wise woman said, “You should meet my friend Anne.� I followed her instructions, and the rest is history. Even though John and Anne still live in New Jersey, we are still best friends and visit each other as often as we can. King Lemuel described my Anne to a T!

Maxwell signs with King University Gibbs High senior Ethan Maxwell signed to wrestle at King University in the fall. Maxwell, a three-year wrestler at Gibbs, has had success in the 113-pound weight class for the Eagles. Ethan has qualified for the state tournament every year (he wrestled at Karns in the ninth grade, Maxwell qualifying for KHS that year) and placed second his junior year. An injury sidelined him before he could compete at the tournament his senior year. He was named a member of the 100 Win Club at GHS, named to the top 40 wrestlers in the nation and placed second in the
South East Worlds his junior year. Gibbs coach Tim Pittman called his twoyear captain an “impressive kid� and says he knows that he will do well at the collegiate level. Club coach Spencer Bailey added, “He’s a great young man, very humble with a tenacious drive.� While at Gibbs, Ethan believes, he learned a lot from Pittman and his teammates, including respect for others, integrity and never giving up. He will study biology while at King and he selected the school for its Christian atmosphere and the great coaching staff. Attending the signing with Ethan were his parents, Phillip and Lisa Maxwell, girlfriend Taylor Beard and best friend Adolfo Felix.

Here we are in July, and the Union County Patriot softball team is still making headlines. Graduate Sarah Wilkerson signed with Cleveland State Community College July 5 at the Union County High School library. This headline may seem familiar because last month her teammates Rachel Pierce and Bre Dunsmore also signed with the college. The three recent graduates never had a losing season during their career and were also the leaders on the first team at Union County High School to make it to the state tournament, according to head coach Lance Lay. Lay also believes that Wilkerson joining her friends at Cleveland State says a lot about her and the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see three â&#x20AC;Ś start their freshmen year together and then be able to continue their softball careers at the next level,â&#x20AC;? said Lay, adding that it speaks to the trioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;dedication to the game and to their education.â&#x20AC;? This is also the first time under Lay that three women have signed with the same school. Wilkerson had a career average of .308 at the plate and 23 runs batted in. On

the base pads from her junior year to senior year, Wilkerson was 15 of 15 on stolen bases. Lay believes that speed is going to be beneficial to the Cleveland State Cougars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cleveland State is getting an amazing addition to their roster with Sarah,â&#x20AC;? said Lay, â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has speed to spare and can cover a lot of ground in the outfield.â&#x20AC;? Wilkerson was also an efficient outfielder, making only two errors in her career. She will enroll alongside Dunsmore and Pierce in August.
