BUZZ Upgrades for HMMS athletics The Horace Maynard Middle School football field bleachers have been getting a much-needed makeover. The old bleachers had been there since the days Horace Maynard was a high school. This project was on the top of the list for principal Greg Clay from youth football director Jerry Lawson and middle school football coach Tommy Laughter. “It’s been something we’ve been working toward since I was hired as the head coach,� said Laughter.

Hobbyist takes flying to another level By Sara Barrett

Eric Majni always had an interest in flying. He has flown in airplanes many times, but the moment he strapped a paramotor to his back – a gasoline-powered motor attached to a parachute – he knew he had found his passion. “My first flight was in 1998,â€? he says of that first solo trip aloft. “You launch those like flying a kite. They’re a lot more fun than a powered parachute because there’s nothing between you and the ground but your feet.â€? Majni sold his paramotor in 2001 and got a powered parachute, or PPC, a craft resembling a go-kart that seats two people, so he could bring his then girlfriend (now wife) Diane along for the ride. PPCs travel 30 miles per hour, and although Majni likes to stay around 500 feet, it will go as high as 12,000 feet ‌ but it gets cold up that high, he says. Since his first flight in a two-seater, Majni esti-

mates he’s flown with more than 1,000 people, mostly friends and family or friends of family, and says he’s never flown with someone who didn’t enjoy it. One unforgettable moment was taking along a cancer patient who only

Football simplicity: Logic and numbers Bob Shoop earned a degree in economics from Yale. It was based on logic and numbers.

Marvin West

Shoop understands logic and numbers and even value added. His contract at Tennessee calls for an annual salary of $1.15 million plus perks. Shoop grasps other interesting issues based on logic and numbers that apply to his career as a defensive coordinator. If he dispatches more hard-charging Volunteers than an offense can block, the quarterback may feel tension. He may blink. He may be forced to flee or go down in a heap. Quarterbacks under duress seldom complete lofty percentages. Some throw more interceptions than touchdown passes. It has

been said that pressure may even neutralize exceptional ability. Sacks and tackles for losses have been known to win games. Considering the upfront numbers (wow, 1.15 mil), Bob Shoop is the man charged with making a difference at Tennessee. That, too, is a matter of numbers, growing from nine victories to 11 or 12, ideally changing from challenger to champ. With Butch Jones’ old friend John Jancek as defensive coordinator, the Vols of the past three seasons were much better than during the dark days of Derek Dooley. There was little resemblance between Jancek defenses and whatever that was Sal Sunseri directed in 2012. That was the year opponents broke historic records and scored 43 out of 47 penetrations into the red zone. Amazing. The Jancek format was designed to not lose games. His defenses were an immediate improvement. The net result was middle-ofthe-pack good, 47th nation-

ally against the pass, 45th against the run. Alas, they were not good enough often enough. Think Florida, fourth quarter. Last season was perfect for comparisons. There were very few pivotal plays on defense, only one defensive touchdown, the Evan Berry pass pick and run at the end of the bowl game. Tennessee’s fourth interception that day raised the total to 12 for the year. Arkansas State had 26. Tennessee recovered seven fumbles in 2015. Navy and Virginia Tech had 15 each. Four sacks against Northwestern gave the Vols a respectable 30 for the year. Aggressive Alabama had 53. Everybody knows defense can decide games, one way or the other. Shoop believes defense can win games. He teaches a different, more daring concept. He sees takeaways as vital. He is willing to take the risk of “going for it� rather than

playing cautiously in something called “prevent.� Shoop has said “there’s nothing better than getting after people, attacking, being aggressive in everything you do, an in-your-face style.� He speaks of passion and toughness and disruptive dominance. He says Vol pass defenders will challenge every route. So it was when Shoop coached at Vanderbilt for three seasons. I took another look at the video. There was one Dooley win in overtime followed by one lopsided loss and the infamous kneel-down to avoid additional embarrassment for the orange team. Jones suffered a setback in his first try. I turned off the horror show with the thought that if Shoop could do that with Commodores, he might help win the world with Volunteers.

had a month to live. It was her first time ever off the ground. Majni has also been known to spend his lunch break in the air, taking 15 minutes to roll out the PPC, 30 minutes to eat while flying around and another 15 minutes to pack it back up. “I usually go up once a week, but initially I flew it every day,� says Majni. “I really, really enjoyed it. I still enjoy it, but as gas prices went up, it became expensive to haul it in a trailer. I decided to fly it in moderation, but after being stuck on the ground all your life and then you can fly up there anytime you want, you want to do it every second.� Majni has his favorite routes but says technology has allowed him to venture into new areas using GPS in lieu of physical landmarks. Of course, most of his flights include beautiful scenery. But once the view was a couple having sex in a field, and another time he saw law enforcement doing donuts in their work vehicles.

“People think they’re alone, but they’re not,� he laughs. Since more ground can be covered more quickly in the air than on foot, Majni has volunteered with his PPC to help search crews look for missing people. He has friends with PPCs in Texas who helped locate pieces of the space shuttle Columbia that exploded in 2003. He also enjoys voluntarily kick-starting parades. When the helicopter didn’t arrive to kick off Farragut’s Fourth of July parade this year, Majni and a friend decided to do it themselves. They also made an appearance during this year’s Karns parade. Majni’s passion paid off during a national competition in 2004 when he placed first among 80 other competitors. Events included an on-ground obstacle course (with wind still in his parachute) and landing on a specific target. “I’ve flown with people ages 2 and a half to 85,� he says. “Anyone can fly.�

Jones’ farm business paves road to college By Shannon Carey Union County High School freshman Savannah Jones was faced with a choice this summer. To start saving for college, she could get a part-time job flipping burgers or hauling feed, or she could put her own skills to work and grow a business. You guessed it. She chose to start her own business. Three weeks ago, she launched Jones and Co. Meat Sales, selling farmfresh beef and pork at local farmers markets. She did all the research herself, got all the certifications herself and even used her own money for overhead and equipment. Savannah grew up on the family farm near Big Ridge State Park in Andersonville. Dad Trevor Jones started just out of high school raising dairy cattle. Now, he’s a livestock dealer. For many years, he also raised beef cattle and sold wholes, halves and quarters to friends and co-workers. Savannah said her dad noticed demand for those large quantities of beef dropping. People either didn’t have the cash on hand to buy or the large freezers required to store that much meat. “People would rather buy meat as needed,� said Savannah. “So we decided it would be a good thing to go into.� Savannah has been active in 4-H since elementary school, raising and showing cattle and pigs, so she already had a relationship with the UT Extension agents in Union County. She went to Extension agent Shannon DeWitt and explained her plans, and DeWitt gave her a thick

book full of requirements to get a meat business off the ground. She had to buy a special freezer, get the freezer inspected by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, adhere to specific packaging and labeling standards, and more. “She did it all herself,� said mom Melissa Jones. “The whole process.� Savannah, who is far more used to the active part of raising livestock, was outside her comfort zone, but she persevered. Now, she’s setting up shop at local farmers markets and doing all the work required to raise cows and pigs, all while attending high school. The cows are raised with free choice of grass or feed, and the pigs are grain-fed. Slaughter, processing and packaging takes place at a local USDA-inspected processor. For the sausage, the processor even mixes the meat with the Jones-family blend of herbs and spices. Savannah’s prices are reasonable, with ground beef at $4.50 per pound, sirloin at $10 per pound, sausage at $3 per pound and Boston butt at $2.50 per pound. That’s a bit more than the local grocery store, but Savannah says it’s worth it. “I would say that it’s better than what you get at the store,� she said. “The meat you get at the store is processed, then they put preservatives and fillers in it, then it’s packaged and then taken to the store. My meat goes from me to the slaughterhouse and back to me. It’s farm fresh.� Savannah already has return business, and she’s looking to grow. The money

Ronnie Mincey TEACHER TIME I was surprisingly and unceremoniously reassigned to teach fifth grade. When I dared question why, I was told that there were some parents who thought my “teaching methods were

more conducive to a higher grade.� I inquired, “How many?� Two or three was the response. I then speculated that since I had 25 students the previous year, did that not mean there were 22 or 23 sets of happy parents? “Either that or they didn’t say anything.� That single response forever shattered my idealism and changed my entire perspective on the teaching profession. Dorothy was not in Kansas anymore. With that “promotion,� at this very low point in my professional life came another colleague and mentor. I am happy to say that

Lost Creek begins at a spring on Ralph Wright’s property on Loop Road, Sharps Chapel. Historically, springs were visited by travelers, were gathering places for events and served as a water supply for building sites. Some standout springs/ creeks on the Union County map are Phipps Springs, Hogskin Creek, Flat Creek and Bull Run Creek, all originating in Grainger County. I have not researched the head of the creek for Fall Creek, Crooked Creek, Little Creek, Raccoon Creek and Byram’s Creek. These

I learned as much or more from her as her students did. The most important thing this friend did was help me repair my wounded ego by helping me rediscover my self-worth. Though our teaching methods varied significantly, we had basically the same educational values and expectations for student performance. She helped me discover that I had no less value as a teacher than she. Though I was born the year she graduated from high school (a fact our students found amusing), our

A Bob Kitts watermelon creeks run through parts of Union County and are large enough for the state to locate them on the county maps.

■I talked with family about the application for Century Farm designation for the Bate and Bonnie Ousley farm in Sharps Chapel that has now passed to their children, Pauline Ousley Janes and R.T. Ousley. Before the week was out, I had a call that the application had been approved, so I’m sure we’ll get an official announcement soon. This is

backgrounds were similar in many ways. The more I worked with this lady, the more we bonded. This allowed me to learn more about myself and somewhat broaden my horizons. From our professional and friendly relationship I learned that I truly do not like oysters. The best clothes at the lowest prices are often found in out-ofthe-way thrift stores. I fell in love with the musical “Oliver,� which I probably otherwise would never have watched. My appreciation for Appalachian heritage and nature increased, as did that of her students as she taught her customdesigned Appalachian and snowflake units. And what former student of Ms. Deanie Carver could ever forget their bluebird trail experiences? I was privileged to be Ms. Carver’s sidekick for four years before I was reassigned to teach sixth

grade, this time with much more consideration. Our camaraderie continued as Ms. Carver, Sandra Price and I enrolled at Lincoln Memorial University and as a team pursued and obtained our education specialist degrees in administration. As with most close friends, Ms. Carver and I did not always agree, and our friendship weathered some storms. There have been lots of good and very few bad times. Lincoln said it best, â€œâ€Ś passion may have strainedâ€? though it did “not break our bonds of affection.â€? I am a better person professionally and personally for having known and worked with Ms. Deanie Carver. As a new school year begins for a lot of beginning teachers, my wish is that each has the opportunity to be “touched ‌ by the better angels of our nature ‌â€? as I have been.

always good news, and it is important that we preserve this part of our history. Ann in the Register of Deeds office helped with this. ■Ben Marchi, a descendant of Peter Stiner, posted a picture on Facebook of the almost-finished restoration of the Peter Stiner log house. I had seen Ben on national TV at the Republican Convention. Ben is young, but he’s being counted. ■Hogskin History Day is coming up on Saturday, Sept. 10, at Narrow Ridge Literacy Center. I was called to be reminded they’re looking for vendors and local musicians. The phone is 497-3444. ■The Thunder Road Authors’ Event will be at Maynardville Library on Saturday, Sept. 10, with lots of books by many authors. If you would like to discuss Union County history, come see me there. ■At the Farmers Market July 30, I was able to find elephant garlic that I’d been looking for – some to eat and some to plant. I planned to be there at Corn Fest on Aug. 6 with my books. I also stopped by Bob Kitts’ tent for a lesson in agriculture. Bob knows how to grow stuff. He reminded me not to plant two kinds of beans close to one another because they will mix and contaminate your seeds. Not that I grow much, but it is something to remember if you do garden. He had some really great-looking potatoes, which he plants in March and harvests after Aug. 12 when Dog Days end. Bob’s tomatoes are delicious – as good as those Grainger County tomatoes. I haven’t tasted my watermelon but bet it is good, too. ■I have a request to help locate a 1954 HMHS annual. If anyone has one to spare, please call me at 865687-3842. ■With lots of help from my friends, I located the grave of the Rev. William J. Rogers, a medical doctor in Claiborne County.

Bob Booker sings a new song By Betty Bean The new album in the jukebox at Marie’s Old Town Tavern is a little bit Tony Bennett and a whole lot Frank Sinatra, with some Eddy Arnold and Jim Reeves and Ray Charles and the Drifters around the edges. Called “Doing It My Way,â€? it’s a debut effort for the artist, 81-year-old teacher, civil-rights pioneer, mayoral aide, state legislator, historian, DJ, nonprofit administrator, newspaper columnist and former City Council member Bob Booker, who jokes that he’s finally “come out of the showerâ€? with a little urging from his friends. It started when Marie Owens, owner of the tavern at 904 N. Central St., urged him to get up and sing. “She’d asked Johnny Mills to come in and play old songs, and I’m humming along. She got me up – and I haven’t sat down since.â€? With the help of singer Vicky Ward, Booker collected his favorites and recorded them on a CD called “Doing It My Way.â€? He’s not selling it, at this point, but he’s sending copies to friends across the country and hopes to do a benefit event for the Beck Cultural Center, which he ran for many years. A product of Knoxville’s segregated school system, Booker has fond memories of his childhood. He graduated from Austin High School in 1953 and spent a year washing dishes in restaurant kitchens, dreaming of a better life. He didn’t have the money for college, so he enlisted in the U.S. Army to get the benefits of the G.I. Bill. He was sent to England and then to France, where he dined in French restaurants, saw the Folies Bergère and made good use of his high school French. He enjoyed army life but was still set on going back to school, so he went home and enrolled in Knoxville College – and found that not much had changed. “I had to deal with segregation all over again,â€? he said. “I’d been set free for three years in Europe, but here, the only decent restaurant I could go to was Sky Chef at McGhee Tyson Airport.â€? Meanwhile, the national civil-rights movement was gaining momentum. College students organized sit-ins at Greensboro, N.C., lunch counters and Booker, who was student-body president at KC, decided it was time to take action. Against the advice of his elders, he led a group of students on a walkthrough at downtown lunch counters. Afterward, he got a message from Mayor John Duncan.

The CD’s title is a salute to Frank Sinatra’s anthem, “My Way,� and it’s not hard to understand why. “Paul Anka may have written that song for Frank Sinatra, but he wrote it for me, too. I’ve been knocked down, faced roadblocks along the way, but I’ve succeeded in spite of that,� he said. To find out more about Booker’s CD, call him at 865-546-1576, or at the Beck Cultural Center, 865524-8461.

“I drove downtown to hear what he had to say – he threatened to put us all in jail. I said, ‘That’s your prerogative.’â€? But it didn’t take long for Duncan to come around. “My impression was that George Dempster and Cas Walker said we didn’t need to have that stuff going on. Dempster said, ‘Coloreds and whites eat together at my plant, so let ’em eat.’â€? Duncan took a delegation of business leaders and KC students to New York to talk to the presidents of Woolworth and S.H. Kress. “We’d decided we could short-circuit all the turmoil by having the lunch counters open to all, but they refused to meet with us.â€? So the demonstrations commenced under Duncan’s watchful eye. “He deserves credit. He made sure that the right policemen were on duty on Gay Street – he didn’t want them to overreact. Duncan told me himself that the governor of a state in the Deep South called him up and said, ‘Mayor, aren’t you head of a Southern city? ‌ Why are you allowing this?’ Duncan said, ‘Because I don’t want the problems in my city that you’re having in your state.’â€? Booker said many white people got involved. “In many instances, there were more white people on the picket lines than black people. They would turn on their TV sets in the evening and see folks being knocked down in Selma, but they hadn’t thought about the fact that here in Knoxville I couldn’t go to the lunch counter and eat a hamburger and drink a Coke.â€? He got his degree in 1962 and was teaching high school French in Chattanooga when Duncan offered him a job in city government. In 1966, he became the first African-American from Knox County to serve in the General Assembly in Nashville. One of six blacks there, he remembers being “constantly frustratedâ€? but is proud of the role he played in getting 18-yearolds the right to vote and in getting liquor by the drink in Knoxville.

Another perspective I will lead the blind by a road they do not know, by paths they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. (Isaiah 42: 16 NRSV) So oft in theologic wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance Of what each other mean, And prate about an elephant Not one of them has seen! (“The Blind Men and the Elephant,â€? John Godfrey Saxe) Our country is much like the elephant in Saxe’s poem. Saxe described each of the six blind men touching a different part of the elephant and leaving with a totally different impression of what an elephant was like. One touched the broad side of the great beast and declared, “The Elephant is very like a wall!â€? The second took hold of the tusk and deduced that “this ‌ Elephant is very like a spear!â€? The third blind man happened to take the trunk into his hand, saying, “I see ‌ the Elephant is very like a snake!â€? The fourth found a knee and decided, “’Tis clear enough the Elephant is very like a tree.â€? The fifth declared, “This ‌ Elephant is very like a fan,â€? having found the great ear. The sixth blind man seized on the elephant’s tail and was certain that “the Elephant is very like a rope!â€? If a foreigner came to America and went only to Florida, he would assume that America is a tropical country. If he went only to Alaska in winter, he would believe America is a vast deep freeze. If he saw only Kansas, he would think the U.S. is flat. If he went to the Rocky Mountains, he would think he had landed in Switzerland! Such is the variety of this great land!

Fibromyalgia Chiropractic Outlook By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC

! $ ! $ !

! # " % " $ ! " # ! " " ! " $ ! " && $ " ! " ! $ ! " # " $ !

Fibromyalgia is a condition in which, essentially, a person “hurts all over�. Difficult to diagnose, fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain in muscles, ligaments and tendons and creates tender spots all over the body. In some cases, symptoms have begun to appear after a physically traumatic event, like a fall or car accident; after surgery or an infection; or in the aftermath of severe psychological stress. In other cases, though, symptoms may just build gradually. For some reason, women are more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men. There is no cure for the condition. While there are medications available, chiropractic treatment and a variety of therapies that involve exercise, relaxation and stress reduction—including yoga, tai-chi, acupuncture, and

massage therapy, are helpful in treating the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Chiropractic treatment is based on the premise that any impairment to the body’s nervous system, which can stem from a misalignment in the spine, will prevent the body from functioning properly and curing itself. Those misalignments of ver tebrae—technica lly called subluxations—can produce pain in joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Talk with your chiropractor if you suffer from fibromyalgia. As with any other condition, if the chiropractor feels you need the attention of another type of healthcare provider, he or she will refer you.

New bleachers signal another great season for Red Devils By Seth Norris The Horace Maynard Middle School football field bleachers have been getting a much-needed makeover. The old bleachers had been there since the days Horace Maynard was a high school. This project was on the top of the list for principal Greg Clay from youth football director Jerry Lawson and middle school football coach Tommy Laughter. “It’s been something we’ve been working toward since I was hired as the head coach,� said Laughter. Rightfully so. According to Mike Johnson, director of maintenance, the bleachers were in need of several upgrades including rails, wheelchair space and aisle ways. The new 10-row bleachers will be elevated approximately 30 inches off the ground and will seat an estimated 640 people. Johnson, who is overseeing the construction, is glad this project was started. “I’m just happy to have a safe structure the school and community can be proud of,� said Johnson. “It’s very important to do everything we can to keep students and visitors safe.� Johnson and Laughter were quick to praise Clay, director of schools Dr. Jimmy Carter and the school board for their willingness to get the project up and running with the Skilled Services contractors. Laughter also believes the new bleachers are a demonstration that people from top to bottom want football to succeed throughout the county. “I believe we’ve got the right people in the right places, and I believe people want to see football great in Union County again,� said Laughter. “I feel like it’s go-

Big fun at Big Ridge Kids and parents alike feasted at Big Ridge Elementary School’s back-to-school cookout Aug. 2. Students got to meet their teachers and see their classrooms before dining on hot dogs, chips and drinks in the cafeteria. The kids were excited to learn about the new playground, library lab and music classroom at Big Ridge this year.

Horace Maynard finished second in its district last year with a 6-2 record and also made it to the second round of the playoffs. According to Laughter, that’s the new standard.

“That’s expectations that my coaching staff and myself have put in place for the guys, and they believe that they can do that, too,� said Laughter. “We want to set the standard there and hold that high.� The middle school team saw around 12 eighth-graders go to the high school but return almost 15 players with significant varsity experience. When thinking of middle-school-aged kids, one doesn’t typically think about great leadership skills, but according to Laughter, who

is also the wrestling coach at Union County High School, age does not matter. “The way our team culture and the way I run my teams, my eighth-graders are treated the same way seniors in high school are,� said Laughter. “It’s just as important to have young leadership as well as older leadership.� With updates to the field, a confident coaching staff and players to go along with it, the HMMS football team is poised to have another big year, and Laughter says that’s only a positive for

the future of Union County football. “I hope that we continue to impress people enough that these kids and fans that work hard get the notoriety

that they need,� said Laughter. “We’ve got that pride going, and we’re feeding that into the high school. I think Union County has many good football years coming.�
