Bikers boostChildren’s Center
By Cindy Taylor
Thunder Road lived up to its name June 25, as more than 30 bikers roared their way down the highway during the Union County
Children’s Center’s Cruisin’ for Kids bike run.
Union County sheriff’s deputy Danny Wayne Collins drove the lead car to start the ride that ran from Union County High School to Bean Station and ended at Ann’s Kitchen. Riders were treated to a discounted
lunch and door prizes. Door prizes included a handmade quilt by Nor-ris Shores Quilters, key chains, ankle bracelets, plaques, T-shirts, Mary Kay baskets and gun locks.
Sponsors were the Union Coun-ty Children’s Center, Nordstrom’s Galley, Union County Property
Assessor Donna Jones, Ronnie Pratt, Interworld Travel, Flowers by Bob, Food City, Ann’s Country Kitchen, District Attorney General Paul Phillips, Diane and Bill Allen, Union County Chiropractic, Knox-ville Harley Davidson and Norris Shores Quilters.
Should that bethe question?
By Cindy Taylor
The Union County School Board held a special called meeting June 23 with the focus on one item: deciding what to pay and what to table in what should be the final change orders for Paulette Ele-mentary School.
Chuck Grant of Michael Brady Inc. presented numerous pages requesting payment for labor and parts for items that had been re-worked or changed during con-struction. According to Grant, there were some changes made during construction that did not originate with his company.
“There are about 20 different locations in this school that are not built like the Fairview school drawings that the board origi-nally discussed and decided on with Mark Randolph,” said Grant. “These areas are changes that the board requested during construc-tion.”
Randolph was the original rep-resentative from MBI, who left the company shortly after the school board chose to begin building the school. There seems to be a mixed bag of changes that neither the board nor Michael Brady Inc. feels they should be responsible for paying.
“Our agreed fee to build this school was 3 percent over the con-struction cost,” said Grant. “Nor-
mally, our fee is at least 5 percent if we do only one school. The rea-son Mr. Goforth and Mark Ran-dolph negotiated such a low fee was because we were going to do two schools. We can make money if we do two schools but not if we only do this one. Mark Randolph left our company on a one-day no-tice, and there were many changes that had occurred that did not get brought out when we started con-struction.”
Regardless of who decided to do what or when, more than $97,000 would come from the discretion-ary fund if the board had agreed to pay all change orders as they stand, leaving only around $23,000 in the fund. This amount includes more than $12,000 in credit that is due back to the fund.
The board tabled more than $75,000 of the requested funds for further review. Chris Kropp from Rouse Construction was also pres-ent, and he and Grant agreed to go back to the contractors responsible for the items in question, totaling more than $10,000, and attempt a resolution in the board’s favor. The board only agreed to release pay-ments totaling less than $7,000. This includes curbing around the access road at a cost of $3,250, a need that was brought to light by the board.
It is once again time for the school board’s yearly review of Di-rector of Schools Wayne Goforth. Board members were given evalu-ation sheets by Ronnie Mincey and
Chuck Grant with Michael Brady Inc. and Chris Kropp from Rouse Construction
explain change orders to the school board.
To pay or not to pay
asked to fill them out and return them after the meeting.
“We need more time than that,” said board member Don Morgan. “This is more important than just spending 10 minutes on it after the meeting.”
Mincey agreed to more time and said that he plans to present the results of the reviews at the board meeting in July.
Lenny Holt requested permis-sion to proceed with the upcom-ing renovation of the CDC class-room at Maynardville Elementary School. The board agreed to allow that project to begin, providing the work would not exceed the budgeted amount of $10,000. This money will come from the Special Education fund.
A scoreboard will soon be in place at Paulette Elementary at a cost of $3,900, thanks to the ne-gotiating skills of principal Ja-son Bailey. The board approved Bailey’s request for an agreement with Pepsi that would allow them to place the scoreboard at that cost.
Preparations and negotiations are still underway for the demoli-tion and removal of the portable buildings at Maynardville Ele-mentary. The plan is to have all of these removed prior to the start of the school year in early August.
The board agreed to sign a Vir-tual School Memorandum of Un-derstanding pending review and approval by board attorney Chuck Cagle.

Palmer College of Chiropractic, of Iowa, the fi rst and largest chiropractic college in the world, is
sharing in a $7.4 million grant from the U.S. Depart-ment of Defense for a four-year study of the effects of chiropractic on the American military. The college says it’s the largest single research award in chiro-practic history. The study will evaluate the effective-ness of chiropractic treatment not only on relieving lower back pain, but also its bearing on reaction times, strength and balance of military personnel, and its usefulness in helping them to stop smoking. The RAND Corp. of Santa Monica, Calif., and the Samueli Institute of Alexandria, Va., are partners in the grant award.
Lower back pain is recognized as being among the most common causes of lost duty time. Though chi-ropractic care has been available in the military for years, this is the fi rst broad scale clinical trial. Stan-dard military medical care for lower back pain often involves prescription medication or duty restrictions. If chiropractic is considered valuable in the care of our fi ghting men and women, you may want to fi nd out how it can help you.

Chiropractic OutlookBy Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC
businessA love of nature
By Cindy Taylor
Once upon a time there, was a man and a woman who had a desire to leave their mundane jobs and make a living at something they enjoyed. So begins the story of Hardin’s Mountain Organics and Tom and Faye Hardin.
In the spring of the year, Hardin’s Mountain Organics has seedlings, fl owers, herbs and vegetables of all kinds. But, items for spring plant-ing are just the beginning in this neck of the woods. When the heat forces you indoors, there’s still fun to be had with a tour through the petite Amish store. Here you will fi nd Amish-made jelly, jam, honey, sorghum and fresh churned butter.
There are also items that will take you back to the days of yore, like horehound candy and fresh buttermilk. The latest offering that has been added to the array of food products you can’t get “just anywhere” is home-made ice cream, served dai-ly during business hours.
You may choose to lei-surely consume a cup of

Tom and Faye Hardin take a rare break from their work at Hardin’s Mountain Organics.
From a plant to planting
ed to start a greenhouse, and once he did it wasn’t long until word was out. Soon, business was boom-ing to the point that Faye needed to quit her job on an assembly line at Breed and work the business full time.
one of the unique fl avors, like lavender or blackberry, in air-conditioned comfort as you browse the store’s interesting displays. Faye has decorated the store with fi nds from her travels and has a story to tell about each one. Ask about the fl y-ing pig.
Your preference may be fast licks on a cone of chocolate or vanilla while sitting on the covered front porch in the sultry summer breeze, rocking in a hand-made Amish chair to the tune of warbling birds. Be careful, though. The tin-kling wind chimes could lull you to sleep once your tummy is full of this sweet treat. For a mere $60 you can choose one of the sturdy maple chairs to take home to your own front porch.
The Hardins haven’t al-ways spent their days in this paradise. Both worked full time until a few years ago. Tom had always want-
A short time later, Tom re-tired from his job at Sea Ray and joined her, both of them evolving from work-ing “in” plants to working “with” plants.
Located on Loyston Road just a few short miles from Highway 33, the business is easily accessible from Halls and Maynardville and is a great place to stop for a treat on your way back from Big Ridge State Park. They are open most days 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but a call to 992-1462 before you go is a good idea in the off season of June through October. The busi-ness is always closed on Sunday. From Highway 33, turn onto Loyston Road. Hardin’s Mountain Organ-ics is after the bridge at Bull Run Creek and just past the split on the left.
As for the Hardins, they plan to live happily ever af-ter of course, making their living doing something they both love.
Norris Lake Resource Center
Shirlee Grabko is the classic overachiever and, fortunately for those seeking property on Nor-ris Lake, she brought her skills to her company, Nor-ris Lake Resource Center at Lakeside Realty.
“I realized early in the game that most of the people purchasing prop-erty on Norris ‘ain’t from ‘round here,’ ” said Grab-ko. “Unlike many people searching out homes or acreage, they did not look for properties using local newspapers and real es-tate magazines.”
When her husband, Bill Manning, retired

Business of the week
from the Department of Energy as a nuclear en-gineer, the family moved
from Knoxville to Nor-ris Lake and became involved with the Union County community. They attended all commission and budget meetings for many years, and Grabko took an interest in the local Red Cross in Union County. This brought Grabko full force into the community and helped give her the idea to start her company.
“I worked to build a website that would be helpful to those interested in the Norris Lake area,” said Grabko. “The website became pretty successful, garnering 350-450 new hits a week and 30 emails or phone calls a day.”

The Leadership Union County Class of 2011 toured government offi ces dur-ing its June meeting and learned about topics rang-ing from history to econom-ics and water processing.
The group started the day with a delicious home-made breakfast provided by residents of Plainview. Vice Mayor Richard Phillips spoke briefl y about the Pla-inview Board of Mayor and Aldermen and opened a dis-cussion that gave an insight into the town’s history.
“I’m second fiddle, but sometimes I get to be first chair,” said Phillips. “Our chief of police says that the city of Plainview is a well-kept secret.”
The next stop was Coun-ty Clerk Pam Ailor’s office, where class members dis-covered that a surprising amount, around $1 mil-lion, is brought in annually from items such as driver’s licenses, license plates and business licenses.
Moving on to the Union County Courthouse, there
were meetings with Sher-iff Junior Loy, Mayor Mike Williams, Register of Deeds Mary Beth Kitts, Cassie Monday in the Trustee’s office, Juvenile and Circuit Court Clerk Barbara Wil-liams, Clerk and Master Beulah Warrick and Judge Darryl Edmondson. The group sat in on a court ses-sion with Edmondson.
After lunch, it was on to the city of Maynardville, where Michael Payne and Jack Rhyne spoke about the utilities and did a wa-ter tasting with the group.
Sandra Edmondson, Field Representative for U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleis-chmann, gave an infor-mative talk about Fleis-chmann’s work since he took office and spoke about her daily duties.
“Congressman Fleis-chmann will tell you that Union County is one of his favorite counties,” said Ed-mondson. “He answered over 7,000 communications from constituents in his fi rst 100 days, and he has a 100 percent voting record.

Leadership meets governmentState Rep. Dennis Pow-
ers closed out the day with a question and answer time that resulted in an infor-mative hour for the class.
“My main objective still is getting the federal gov-ernment to achieve a bal-anced budget,” said Pow-ers. “I hope Congress will set a debt spending limit and stick to it.”
When asked how it would be possible to get to that point, Powers had a quick response.
“We have to cap spend-ing right now and start paying off our debt,” said Powers. “President Ronald Reagan actually cut taxes during his administration. This caused more people to invest more money. That created more revenue and improved the economy. Once he cut taxes, the rev-enue came in at twice the rate. We need the private sector to grow, and we need to make it better for busi-nesses to stay located here in this country. All of this will be possible if we elect the right people.”

New vendor Halford’s Farm of Luttrell came June 25 with beans, potatoes, cu-cumbers, onions and beets. Jerry Tharpe and Donna Riddle brought huge heads of cabbage and other fruits and vegetables. There were blueberries and homegrown tomatoes from Union Coun-ty growers.
Beth Bergeron promoted a new delicacy: garlic tops.
“I have garlic tops in this basket,” said Bergeron. “You dip them in batter, add
spices and then fry them. They’re delicious.”
There were also beauti-ful elephant garlic tops, but Bergeron did not suggest frying those.
Keep Union County Beauti-ful members were at the mar-
ket to sign up residents for the Adopt-A-Road program.

UNION COUNTY SHOPPER-NEWS • JULY 2, 2011 • A-5
Next time you hear a Dobro playing in the
background of a country or bluegrass recording, say a quick thanks to George E. “Speedy” Krise Jr.
Speedy passed away on June 9 at age 89 in Ports-mouth, Va. His sister-in-law, Mary Turner, who lives in the Gibbs com-munity, brought a bunch of magazine articles and photos about Speedy by the Shopper office last week. You’re not going to believe this story.
Speedy is recognized as the first musician/song-writer to play a Dobro on a commercial bluegrass/country recording. He did so during a recording ses-sion roughly 60 years ago for Capitol Records with Knoxville native Carl But-ler. The session included several of Speedy’s own compositions, including “Heartbreak Express” and “Plastic Heart,” which helped launch Butler’s ca-
reer. (Butler’s biggest hit, “Don’t Let Me Cross Over,” was recorded a few years later with his wife, Pearl.)
“Back then, there were only about eight Dobro players recording any-where,” Speedy told Phyllis Speidell of the Virginian-Pilot newspaper in 2006. “Now there’s one behind every tree – and they’re all good.”
Speedy also told Speidell during the inter-view that a Dobro isn’t a type of guitar (it’s actually called a resonator guitar), but a brand name for the guitar first made by the Dopyera brothers during the Hawaiian music fad of the 1920s.
Speedy said he first borrowed a Dobro from a boy who was courting his sister back in their West Virginia home when he was 15 years old, using the instrument to accentuate the mountain music he’d been singing his whole
life. He later used it on the Carl Butler sessions and the rest is history.
After he graduated from high school, Speedy be-gan working at WJLS ra-dio in Beckley, W.Va., and formed his own band, the Blue Ribbon Boys. Speedy said that they earned $40 in a good week. Most of the musicians also worked a day job. They traveled to gigs in a DeSoto.
While at WJLS, he met country singers Molly O’Day, Roy Acuff and Little Jimmy Dickens. Dickens and Speedy were eating a chicken dinner together in the Krise home on Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941 – the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
After being discharged from the Air Force fol-lowing World War II, Speedy worked briefly as a telegraph operator until he and his bride, Freda, moved to Knoxville when Molly O’Day invited him to come to WNOX radio.

“They lived off Black Oak Drive in Norwood,” Mary Turner says.
Speedy played on the popular radio shows “The Tennessee Barn Dance” and the “Mid-Day Merry-Go-Round” along with country stars including O’Day, Union County na-tives Carl Smith and Roy Acuff, the Carter Family, Mac Wiseman, and future “Hee Haw” star Archie Campbell, who later lived in Powell. Speedy and Archie were working in Tampa one year when they heard a young singer from Memphis rehearsing be-fore a show and wondered whether he’d make it. The young man’s name was El-vis Presley.
Acuff recorded Speedy’s song “Plastic Heart” and Smith made his recording debut with Speedy’s “No Trespassing.”
By 1956, as radio’s popu-larity was giving way to tele-vision, Speedy quit the mu-sic business and took a sales job with the Cook Coffee Company in Akron, Ohio.
Speedy spent the last years of his life living qui-etly in Portsmouth with Freda. He would play fes-tivals and such from time to time but told Speidell he was happy to leave the music business behind.
“I’d liked to have stayed with it, but it was hard to travel that much with four little ones at home and barely making a living.”
Perhaps the greatest honor came when two folk-life historians interviewed Speedy for a 24-minute documentary recorded by the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. The film de-buted at the library’s Mary Pickford Theater in No-vember 1995.
Speedy is survived by his wife of 67 years, Fre-da Mae Pettry Krise; four children, one sister, 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, many family and friends, and a lifetime of musical memo-ries. He is buried at Rest-wood Memorial Park in his hometown of Hinton, W.Va.

I bought a note card the oth-er day to send to a friend.
While perusing the available options, I found (and bought) another card with the above quote from Albert Einstein. The back of the card says “Albert Einstein (1879-1955), German-American physicist, was the most infl uential the-oretical scientist of the 20th century,” a statement which is pretty nearly inarguable.
I have read its simple mes-sage many times over several days. I have considered fram-ing it, but if I did, I would probably stop seeing it at all, after a while. It would become just a part of the scenery.
I may leave it on the end table beside my couch where I will see it every day, be-cause I have to move it to get to something else. Because what is so endearing about it
Beware of Vanderbilt. The Commodores are mak-
ing waves. Baseball was in the World Series. Basketball is looking down on the Vols, smirking about forthcom-ing probation. New football coach is selling bowl bub-bles and rounding up com-mitments from state stars.
Disconcerting? Danger-ous? How can this be with-out an athletic director and a massive budget?
Football recruits may wa-ver from summer pledges. If they are smart enough to
attend Vanderbilt, or even Peabody, they may be smart enough to compare facilities and coaching backgrounds and identify greater chanc-es of success at other SEC schools.
It is possible that other SEC schools are not falling all over themselves seeking commitments from Tennes-see prep stars. The University of Tennessee is facing severe scholarship limitations be-cause of front-loading, not because of NCAA penalties.

in the NBA draft.This is a Scotty Hopson
coaching tip: Stop by the li-brary, ask for the map book and consider locations of European countries that have basketball leagues. Tyler Smith has several con-tacts in Turkey.
***Tennessee will feature
seven players on football schedule cards. Seniors Tau-ren Poole and Malik Jackson will get the most exposure. There is concern about too much publicity for certain sophomores who fi gure to play prominent roles (quar-terback, receivers, etc.)
Dooley, a man devoted to details, is the only person who would think a photo on schedule cards generates pressure.
***Sad and absolutely amaz-
ing that Phillip Fulmer re-mains a lightning rod.
Mentioning his name as a possible athletic director led directly to complaints about the monthly $125,000 wel-fare check. What happened next was certain passion-ate fans erupted, charging the former coach with ev-erything possibly related to the downhill slide, from re-cruiting negligence to hiring Dave Clawson to indifferent weight control.
It wasn’t all Fulmer’s fault that agent Jimmy Sexton was able to negotiate a $6 million protection plan for his cli-ent. Former athletic direc-tor Mike Hamilton, another Sexton client, signed the contract. Somebody higher than Hamilton, probably not a Sexton client, said OK. I suppose trustees could have stopped the stamp, stamp, stamping and called it exces-sive. They didn’t.
Here’s the part critics conveniently forget: Fulmer did a lot of things right in his two-thirds of a lifetime relationship with the Uni-versity of Tennessee.
He was a good player, a senior leader. He showed potential as a student coach. He was outstanding as line coach and recruiter. He was borderline excellent as of-fensive coordinator. He was 152-52 as head coach. I feel certain his record would be at least one game better if he hadn’t been fi red during Wyoming week. Ironic that it was homecoming. Yes, that bothers me.
Fulmer did not lead the school into NCAA prison. He may have granted too many second chances but some delinquents became responsible citizens. In-deed, Fulmer was loyal to a fault.
There is no need for a standing ovation but he doesn’t deserve the rip job. He is what he is, a winner, decent, smart, a Tennessee man, a Vol for life.
The school is paying more for administrative mistakes than coaching errors.
***Jimmy Hyams, multi-
media personality, will be inducted into the Tennessee sportswriters’ hall of fame on July 14 at Cumberland University in downtown Lebanon.
Jimmy was previously honored several times by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association as Tennessee sportswriter of the year and sportscaster of the year. I am of the edu-cated opinion that he is the only person ever to win both print and broadcast awards.
At the tender age of 16, Jimmy was sports editor of The Natchitoches Times. He worked his way up to sev-eral other Louisiana news-papers, the News Sentinel and the Shopper-News. He switched his emphasis to radio in 1998 and is cur-rently sports director for The Sports Animal in Knox-ville. His talk show is No. 1 in the state.Marvin West invites reader response. His

(for me, at least) is his implied belief that it is possible to get past the clutter to simplicity.
Einstein was a genius, and there is the stereotype that geniuses live amid clut-ter – the absent-minded professor syndrome. I make no claim to genius, but clut-ter is something I under-stand all too well.
But I suspect that in this quote, at least, the great sci-entist was not talking about the state of my desk. I think he was talking about the physical world: the heavens, the stars, the galaxies, the farthest reaches of the uni-verse, known and unknown.
I believe he was stating his conclusion that within what appears to be the randomness and the infi nite complexity of the universe is a harmony and a simplicity that we have not yet understood.
One of the terms that sci-entists use for that apparent harmony is “elegance.” We live in an “elegant” universe, a creation that is systematic, that is harmonious.
I heard an interview with a physicist some months ago, in which he was asked
whether he subscribed to the “string theory” or the “particle theory” of mat-ter. His reply? “Well, what we fi nd is that if you ask a string question you get a string answer. And if you ask a particle question, you get a particle answer.”
That could be construed as a total non-answer, but it also might mean simply that you fi nd what you are looking for. It says, to this listener, at least, that the world is complex and sub-ject to interpretation.
But most of all, I think it means that the God who fl ung it all into space is infi nitely creative, divinely imagina-tive, and deliberately diffi cult to categorize, limit, or pigeon-hole. My favorite phrase from the Affi rmation of Faith from the Church of Canada is this: “We believe in God, who has created and is creating.”
Another statement from Einstein offers the option of worshipping this fabulous God: “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.”
Amen, and amen.
what he was told, that fa-cilities don’t matter all that much, that people and aca-demics do.
If facilities are overrated, UT is spending freely for small rewards. Adjusting require-ments for the magnifi cent training facility, as coaches came and went, didn’t double the price but it caused conserva-tives to fl inch. Can you believe $250,000 to rehab a practice fi eld? How bad were the fl aws in the original construction?
***Social news you may have
missed: Adam Dicus, person-al assistant to Derek Dooley, was a groomsman in the re-cent wedding of Dallas Cow-boys quarterback Tony Romo. How about that, sports fans!
***This is a Scotty Hopson

MARYVILLE – Here’s a bit of trivia you may not know.
Who is the only person to serve as governor of two states?
I’ll give you a hint. He’s also the only head of a for-eign state to serve as a mem-ber of Congress.
Give up? Well, the answer is Sam Houston, and here’s something else you may not know: he also taught in a one-room schoolhouse in Blount County from May to November 1812.
And that’s kind of ironic, to hear Marleitta Cooper tell it. She plays the school-marm here at the Historic Sam Houston Schoolhouse and says that Sam wasn’t much of a student.
“He kept running away from school, so his mother had to lock him in his fa-ther’s library,” Cooper says. “Sam read everything in it by the age of 12.”
He particularly liked a translation of Homer’s “The Iliad,” calling it “the biggest adventure I’d ever read” and memorizing most of the story’s 24 books. Remember all this because it’ll become important here in a minute.
Born near Lexington, Va., in 1793, Sam moved to Blount County with his recently widowed mother and eight brothers and sisters when he was 13. They settled on 400 acres that Houston’s father, Sam, had patented before his death. The property is locat-ed in south Blount County, almost to Greenback.
Cooper says young Sam enjoyed the adventure of moving here, but quickly be-came unhappy clerking for his brothers, James and John, in a Maryville dry goods store. So he ran away at age 16 to live for about three years with a Cherokee Indian tribe
The year Sam Houston taught school
Sam Houston as he looked when he was elected governor of the state of Tennessee at age 33 in 1827. He is the only person to serve as governor of two states (Tennessee and Texas).
The Sam Houston School-house is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1-5 p.m. Sun-days and is closed on holi-days. Admission is $1 and children 12 and under are admitted free. From Knoxville, take Highway 129 South to John Sevier Highway. Turn right at Weigel’s onto Highway 33 (Old Knoxville Highway). Turn left at Pope’s Garden Center onto Sam Houston Schoolhouse Road. Watch for the sign and turn left. Info: 983-1550.
Sam Houston taught in this one-room schoolhouse from May to November 1812. Built in 1794, the Sam Houston Schoolhouse in Maryville is billed as the oldest standing one-room schoolhouse in the United States.Photos by Jake Mabe

near Hiwassee. The Cherokee dubbed Houston with the nickname “The Raven.”
He came to love the cali-co cloth the Indians used to make their clothing and ran up a $100 bill in his broth-ers’ store for the material. After he returned home, his brothers told Sam he’d have to pay the bill or go to jail.
He decided to get a job teaching school in the spring of 1812, which took some do-ing because he didn’t have the required 8th grade edu-cation to get the job.
But Sam had given him-self an education reading the books in his father’s library. He got the job. He was 18 years old.
He taught 40 students ranging in age from 6 to 60. Cooper says the older stu-dents were there to learn how to read pages they’d signed for land acquisition and to be able to sign their names to a deed rather than using an X.
Sam charged $8 and was the most expensive teacher in the county. He wanted $2.50 in coin money, Cooper says, which would have meant gold, silver or copper – trad-able anywhere in the days
Jackson later appointed Houston to be an Indian agent in Arkansas. In 1832, Houston left for Texas and be-came embroiled in the politics of what was then a Mexican territory. Joining the Texas Army, he later became a hero at the Battle of San Jacinto, was twice elected president of the resulting Republic of Tex-as and later served as a U.S. senator and governor of Texas after it became a U.S. state.
As a Unionist governor, he bitterly opposed secession and even refused to accept its legality after Texas voted to join the Confederacy. He was evicted from offi ce in March 1861 and died two years later. His last words, spoken to his
third wife, were reportedly, “Texas always, Margaret. Texas always.”
Of all his accomplishments during his colorful life, Hous-ton always looked fondly back at the six months he taught in the one-room schoolhouse in East Tennessee.
“I experienced a higher feeling of dignity and self-satisfaction from teaching in that little schoolhouse than from any offi ce or hon-or I have held since.”
So says the one guy to have served as governor of two states and as head of aforeign nation. Call Jake Mabe at 922-4136 or email [email protected]. Visit him online at jakemabe.blogspot.com, on Facebook or at Twitter.com/HallsguyJake.
before federal currency. An-other $2.50 could be payable in corn and the fi nal $2.50 could be payable in – wait for it – calico cloth.
The school year began in May after the crops had been planted and there was no lon-ger a danger of frost. It ended in November, when it had be-come too cold to get to school. Cooper says most students walked to school in bare feet.
Built in 1794, the Historic Sam Houston Schoolhouse is billed as the oldest stand-ing one-room schoolhouse in the United States. It was restored beginning in the 1950s. Three beams, the fi replace and the school-house seats are all original.
Cooper says the building was later used as a house, chicken coop and a barn. It had been left to rot when the restoration began. It is now a state-owned historical site and includes a museum and gift shop. Civil War re-enactments are held here in March and October.
“We had to fi ght to keep Texas from getting it,” Coo-per says. “Texas wanted to take it to Texas and the issue
went all the way to the Ten-nessee Supreme Court.”
After his teaching career ended in November 1812, Sam joined the U.S. Army, believing that if he did so his debts would be forgiv-en. He was later seriously wounded in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.
After the War of 1812 end-ed, Sam’s new friend, Andrew Jackson, encouraged him to become a lawyer. He com-pleted the two-year course in six months. A lot of the books Sam had read in his father’s library turned out to be pre-requisites for law school.
He began practicing law in Lebanon, Tenn., and was later appointed state attor-ney general. Houston served in the U.S. House of Repre-sentatives from 1823-25 and again from 1825-27. He was elected governor of the state of Tennessee in 1827.

A visit to Hubbs Grove Baptist Church Vacation Bible School was a whirl-wind tour of the big city with the theme “Big Apple Adventure.”
“More than 100 students attended every night, and over the course of the week each person grew closer to our heavenly father,” said
volunteer Beth Edmond-son. “We are happy to an-nounce that seven souls were saved. We would like to thank our God and father in heaven for a rewarding and blessing Vacation Bible School. Jesus did meet us there. A personal thanks to our teachers and all our volunteers for their time,
effort and prayers.”The worship service on
Thursday night kicked off with a surprise visit from VBS Man, one of the Va-cation Bible School Super Heroes. Several church members also performed “A Rock That Won’t Roll” with Pastor Johnny Smith on guitar.
The Teens on the Town class at Hubbs Grove Baptist Church’s Vacation Bible School sign “I

I remember when my family moved from our home in the suburbs to the farm where my par-ents live now.
I was in middle school, and the whole world re-volved around school and the mall. The move happened on a wing and a prayer, out to 40 acres in Union County, with just one room in the dry. My parents, my two sis-ters, our two dogs and I lived in that room for a year, with the rest of the log house slowly taking shape around us.
Growing up, I hated the sweat and travail of the farm and building the house. I hated how far it was away from “ev-erything,” how I could never have friends over.
Don’t get me wrong, there were things I loved about living on the farm. Like heading out on a summer morning to ride my horse bareback or
Farm boy
crawling out on the porch roof at night to watch the stars.
But, for me the chores and field work were always what you’d call “character building.” Sometimes I wondered why Mom and Dad bought the farm in the first place. It was always so much blamed work.
My mother keeps Daniel while I work on Thursdays. Last week when I dropped him off at the farm, Mom, whom Daniel calls “Gran,” announced that they were going to pick some beans. She put some sunscreen and a ball cap on my boy and away they went with a bushel basket swinging
between them.Daniel was so excit-
ed. To him, something 13-year-old me would have called boring is an adventure, a game and a chance to be a good helper.
Daniel loves chasing the barn cats, walk-ing the fields and even cleaning up the horse stalls. I can already see that three years down the road he’s going to know that farm like the back of his hand and beg to spend time with Gran and Bear.
When I came to pick him up, he crowed that he’d picked lots of big beans, and he was soaked head to foot from helping fill the water troughs. He was happier than a hog in slop.
Now I know why Mom and Dad bought the farm, and I’m happy that they’ve kept it all these years, no matter what certain teenagers thought.Contact Shannon Carey at shannon@
