A pristine American fl ag donated by the Tri-County Veterans Honor Guard, the VFW and the American Legion now fl ies over the new Pau-lette Elementary School.

The fl ag was presented during the ribbon-cutting ceremony July 30, a ceremony that brought cheers and tears from those attending, a marvelous blend of the “old” and the “new.” Even with heat topping 90 degrees, the community couldn’t stay away from a chance to walk through their new school.

The Tri-County Veterans Honor Guard, led by Charles Scruggs, Reed Campbell, John Langley, Dean Stiner, James and Sharon Collins and John Stefanski, presented the American fl ag. Guard members James and Sharon Collins raised the fl ag, and Stefanski roused the audience by trumpeting Reveille.

Christopher Braun of Boy Scout Troop 404 led the Pledge of Alle-giance, and the Union County High School Band directed by Jamie Hackney followed with “The Star Spangled Banner.” Union County Sheriff’s Deputy Phillip King, pas-tor of First Baptist Church of May-nardville, dedicated the school with prayer.

State and local offi cials and alumni from the original Paulette School spoke to the crowd. Incom-ing 1st grader Preston Patterson and original Paulette School alum-na Judy Graves Sexton handled the scissors for the ribbon-cutting. Pau-lette Instructional Facilitator Missy Fugate, who also coordinated the event, read aloud a poem written by Sexton for the occasion.

Keeping a healthy spine is important for protect-ing your overall health, and the way you carry

yourself will go a long way toward maintaining the integrity of your spine and back.

Your mother knew what she was talking about when she told you to sit up straight and keep your shoulders back. Poor posture is a leading cause of back and neck pain. As with any bad habit, however, it’s never too late to mend your ways.

When walking, be mindful of keeping your head upright and your stomach tucked in. At work, use a sturdy chair that supports your lower back. Put a cushion or a rolled-up towel at the base of your back if necessary. Stand up and walk around every 20 to 30 minutes to keep muscles from getting stiff.

Use the cushion or rolled towel when you drive if your seat does not offer enough support to your lower back. Make sure your knees are at the same level as your hips. While you may not be able to walk around every 20 to 30 minutes during a long drive, take breaks as frequently as is practical.

When lifting, bend your knees and let your legs do the work; never lean forward with your legs straight while holding anything heavy. Talk with a chiroprac-tor for other tips on keeping your back healthy.

then read a statement from Gov. Bill Haslam.

“I bring greetings from our three constitutional of-fi cers,” said Faulk. “Tennes-see Secretary of State Trey Hargett, State Comptrol-ler Justin Wilson and State Treasurer David Lillard. They were the three votes on the school bond funding board that got Union Coun-ty the low interest loan used to help build this school. To the visionary Union County school board and commis-sion that obligated them-selves and the taxpayers of Union County, you are about to begin reaping the harvest, and I thank you for not giving up. That harvest will continue for years to come.”

ty,” said Edmondson. “He is on the fl oor this morning voting for those things that are very important for our everyday lives. When travel-ers come down this highway, our schools will be a shining star in this county and are great examples of what can be done when people work together.”

Pauline Houser Smith, a teacher from the fi rst Paulette school, was in at-tendance. She took a tour of classrooms and activity rooms after the ceremony alongside children who will be starting school for the fi rst time ever, or who are transferring in from other schools.

School staff and many officials wore the school colors of purple and gold. They are proud that at long last the purple Paulette Panthers will prowl once again with the statement “We just can’t hide that Paulette Pride!”

Images by Marvin

By Cindy Taylor

Marvin Jeffreys, owner of Images by Marvin, re-cently returned from a trip to the Colorado Rockies. While that statement isn’t true, Jeffreys has the abili-ty and the software to make someone believe it is.

While visiting Jeffreys in his studio where beautiful faces adorn the walls, I took a photo of him in front of a green screen. Jeffreys then imported that photo into his software, resulting in a dream visit to those majes-tic mountains. Of course, software of this caliber has the ability to overcome any fl aws in a personal portrait as well.

“I have been fascinated with photography since I was 6 years old and play-ing with my mother’s old Brownie camera,” said Jeffreys. “As I grew up I would save to buy a roll of fi lm, shoot it and then many times have to save up again to have it devel-oped and printed. Photog-raphy is all I ever wanted to do, and I cannot imag-ine not being a photogra-pher. I have always told people you can buy the equipment I have, you can use the labs I use but you can’t buy my brain or

my heart. Knowledge comes from learning and from ex-perience.”

Jeffreys became a profes-sional in Union County in 1980 but considers his busi-ness to be more than photog-raphy. He enjoys the interac-tion with people and getting to know them personally while capturing that special moment. His business is one of creativity and relation-ships.

But a visit to this studio is much more than just a snap and a f lash. Jeffreys may shoot film, but he and his wife, Doris, develop relationships from the sit-tings.

“My business is about making sure in every way I can that the person leaving is better than when they came,” said Jeffreys. “My wife and I have developed and main-tained many friendships

over the years through my photography.”

The studio is completely digital these days, and Jef-freys handles all aspects of his photography in-house.

Jeffreys is also the Union County coordinator for Operation Christmas Child. He and Doris feel OCC is a good way to honor the memory of their late daughter Tracy and will be offering a 50 percent sitting discount to all who bring a packed shoebox to the stu-dio during August, Septem-ber or October. Call the stu-dio for details on this offer.

Singer Ashley Diane won the Red Gate Rodeo Talent Show on July 16. The talent show drew 17 contestants, and the elimination round July 15 whittled the hope-fuls down to five finalists. The finalists performed July 16.

Ashley won a two-hour recording session and a brand new guitar donated by Ciderville Music Barn. Runner-up Autumn Ar-senault pleased the judges with her violin perfor-mance, and she won $100.

Judges were local musical talent Greylan James, Cooter Daniel and Elbra Davis.

MILESTONES

Hickle-Shoff ner is Heart Association poster childMilah Raine Hickle-Shoffner is the 2011 poster child

for the American Heart Association. She underwent open heart surgery at 18 months old to repair an arterial septum defect and some leaking valves. Her doctor is Dr. Sumeet Sharma at Children’s Hospital.

Milah will represent the AHM at many East Tennessee events and will lead the 2011 Greater Knoxville Heart Walk on Sept. 25. Milah’s Team in the Heart Walk is accepting donations to the AHA in honor of Milah.

Milah’s parents, James and Nicole, thank everyone who prayed for Milah. Info or to donate: www.greaterknoxvilleheartwalk.org.

AnniversariesHarmons celebrate 50 years

Charles and Faye Harmon of Maynardville celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary July 1 with a Daytona Beach vaca-tion with their three daughters and grandchildren. Pictured here are Christian Raley, Charles Harmon, Natalie Sullen-berger, Kendall Sullenberger, Kali DeVault and Faye Harmon. Charles and Faye attend Ailor Dale Baptist Church and own Air Quest America on Maynardville Highway.

meet at 7 p.m. every third Thursday at Fellowship Christian Church. Info: Debbie, 659-1052.

More than 11 scholarships were given to support students attending 4-H Summer Camp. Tyler Mink is one student who has realized these benefi ts. Thanks to donations from the Union County Community Foundation, the Hubbs Grove FCE and the Sharps Chapel FCE, Mink was awarded a full scholarship to 4-H Summer Camp.

Thirteen-year-old Mink is a worthy recipient with his agricultural background. He raises chickens and horses and plans to stay in agricul-ture after fi nishing school.

“The camp is my favor-ite part of 4-H,” said Mink. “I learned trap shooting and made a derby car. I won all the way to the fi nal race and got beat by a block of wood on wheels. I hope to go back to camp as a team leader when I get older.”

Mink is an active volun-teer in 4-H and has shown at events and acted as judge. One of Mink’s favorite activi-ties is the Derby Car Race.

“My dad made a derby car for a race when he was little,” said Mink. “He wanted to get his dad a present but didn’t have the money, so he sold the car to buy his dad a belt and then the car won the race.”

Mink has more than 20 chickens that he shows and will be a poultry judge at the Tennessee Valley Fair this year. He plans to enter items in photography, fudge, jelly and chickens. He will also participate in the hay bale decorating team. Mink com-peted on the Union County poultry judging team and placed second overall in the Eastern Region 4-H poultry judging contest. He is also a fourth generation 4-H’er. His great-grandmother Marion Mink was a county agent, grandfather Bruce Mink was active in the club, and Mink’s father, Bruce Mink Jr., has carried the tradition to his son.

4-H recruitment ■

is on!Union County Extension

Offi ce is looking for you! There are many events com-ing up, and anyone who wants to volunteer or get involved is invited to call the Extension Offi ce and apply.

There are opportunities to be part of judging teams for the Tennessee Valley Fair. Judging teams will be trained by Shannon Perrin, Joy Gris-som and some volunteers.

Judges will be taught about one of the two topics offered this year. Perrin and Alan Beeler will be instructing a poultry judging team. Joy Grissom will be instructing a life skills judging team.

For the Tennessee Valley Fair this year, Perrin is hoping for a huge participation from Union County.

“I would love for us to en-ter rabbits and chickens, any poultry, actually; ducks, pi-geons, whatever anyone has,” said Perrin. “I will help fi ll out entry forms if people will make an appointment and come by our new offi ce.”

Entry deadline is Aug. 18 and arrangements must be made with Perrin by Aug. 15 to get entry forms. Contact Cindy Taylor at brentcindyt@

UNION COUNTY SHOPPER-NEWS • AUGUST 6, 2011 • A-5

Bernard King was back in town the other evening as keynote speaker for

the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. Sarah remem-bered that I once considered him the best athlete ever at Tennessee. And elsewhere?

There have been some other good ones here and there in six and a half decades of watching hundreds of college games, several Olympics, many Super Bowls, World Series baseball games, NCAA Final Fours and assorted lesser extravaganzas.

Perspective? When you think of how many play from Little League up through high school and how few become college starters and how few of those become pros and how few of those become world su-perstars, “best athlete” takes on serious signifi cance.

On the assumption that the once-in-a-lifetime great-est would play more than one sport, I missed him. Jim Thorpe was before my time. He won two races in the 1912 Olympics, fi nished fourth in the high jump and seventh in the long jump. He was twice an All-American halfback for the Carlisle Indians, offense and defense, punter and place-kicker. He played pro football eight years and major league baseball for six. He hit .327 for the 1927 Boston Braves. He is featured in three halls of fame, college football, pro football, and track and fi eld.

Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis were better than av-erage runners and jumpers, winners of an entire collec-tion of Olympic gold medals. Jesse dominated at Berlin

but didn’t get invited to the White House.

I saw Bo Jackson run and I saw Tennessee knock his block off when he was an Au-burn Tiger. Bo knows he got tagged.

Jackson won the 1985 Heisman Trophy and was fi rst to be an all-star in two pro sports and Nike commer-cials. He played baseball for the Royals (MVP of the ’89 All-Star Game) and football for the Raiders. Maybe you remember the Monday night madness when Bo ran over Brian Bosworth of the Sea-hawks on his way to 221 rush-ing yards.

I saw Deion Sanders, alone as a Super Bowl and World Series player, exciting cor-nerback and outfi elder, nine times all-NFL, league record-

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

Best athlete?Good question

holder with 19 touchdowns on interceptions and kick re-turns, speedster who stole 57 bases one season and led the National League in triples. He hit .304 in his best year. Fit-ting nickname: Neon Deion.

Michael Jordan was a pretty fair basketball player but mediocre in minor league baseball and poker. Danny Ainge could play baskets but hit only .220 with the Blue Jays. Bob Hayes ran fast in the 100 and scored 71 NFL touchdowns. Dave Winfi eld, Minnesota all-everything, was drafted by pro football, basketball and baseball.

Best ever in orange? Af-ter Bernard, it is a close call. Maybe Condredge Holloway or Doug Atkins or Willie Gault or Ron Widby or Richmond Flowers or Tom Pappas?

Pappas was twice NCAA decathlon champ, a world champion and an Olympian. His 10 tough events involve a wide range of skills – running, jumping and throwing things.

Atkins at 6-7 and 240 was a basketball Vol one season and a football legend, one of the best defensive ends in NFL history. More remark-able were his track feats.

With almost no practice, he high-jumped 6-6 and placed second in an SEC meet in Birmingham. That much man clearing a bar was astounding. Motivation? Travel money.

Flowers for a time was the best hurdler in the world. As good as he was in football, he probably had more courage than ability. He had enough of both to play in the NFL.

Gault was borderline All-American in football, spec-tacular in hurdles and sprints, Super Bowl champ with the Bears and producer of the Su-per Bowl Shuffl e, doorknob for a Hollywood fl ing. He got involved with Winter Olym-pics as a bobsled pusher. He can still dance and run fast in middle age.

Widby won letters in four sports – football, basketball, baseball and golf. He led the baseball Vols in batting as a sophomore, later led the SEC in basketball scoring and the country in punting average. He played pro baskets brief-ly, punted in the NFL for a living and earned tip money playing golf.

Holloway was Tennes-see’s most exciting quar-

terback. The Artful Dodger made many tacklers miss. He bounced off others. He had the guts to throw with blitzing linebackers in his face. He scampered all over Canadian pro football. He was better in baseball, good enough as a prep senior to have been No. 1 in the MLB draft. John Wooden of UCLA thought basketball was Hol-loway’s best game.

Todd Helton was great as a Tennessee baseball player and good enough in football to start at quarterback – in a pinch. He almost hit .400 for the Colorado Rockies.

Carl Pickens? Stanley Mor-gan? Many talents.

In three seasons at Ten-nessee, King, quick as a blink, was three times an All-Amer-ican with a career average of 13.2 rebounds and 25.8 points while sharing the ball with Ernie Grunfeld and Mike Jackson.

I thought King was better in the NBA than Larry Bird, Magic and Kobe. His fi erce fi ght back from a terrible knee injury to all-star status is the stuff of legends. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

I helped my daughter move into a new house last week. Jordan had found the cot-

tage of her dreams, complete with ivy, roses and a white picket fence. It even came with a fenced backyard so that Emma and Zoe, the Labs, would have a place to romp, lie in the sun and chase imagi-nary (or real) rabbits.

Jordan, who was an Eng-lish major and whose fi rst job out of college was at Davis-Kidd Booksellers, owns more books than the Library of Con-gress (which may be a slight exaggeration, but it certainly felt like it when I was packing

them). “Gravity works” was my mantra as I hauled books down the staircase in the house she was leaving. I could ease the boxes from one step to the next, and so on, all the way down the stairs.

Her best friend from col-lege came to help us move the couch out of the upstairs offi ce, and the three of us wrestled it downstairs. Another friend in the neighborhood helped dis-mantle the antique armoire that had belonged to Jordan’s paternal great-grandmother. It is more than 9 feet tall and put together with pegs. When its top is lifted off, the whole

CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton

Two women and a truck

See, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb about you, “Like mother, like daughter.”

(Ezekiel 16:45 NRSV)

thing becomes as unstable as Jell-O. Taking it apart (or put-ting it together, for that mat-ter) is a daunting task.

When Moving Day arrived we went to rent a truck. This young woman – who just yes-terday, surely, I wrapped in a yellow blanket and carried home from the hospital in my arms, the West Virginia snow falling all around us – climbed in that 15-foot truck and drove it home like a pro. Jordan backed it into her old driveway and was so mad at herself that it took two tries. (For the record, on the next trip, she did it in one!)

Her new next door neigh-bors were moving out on the same day Jordan was mov-ing in, and two of them came

over and offered to help carry in the couch. Feminine pride and independence extends only so far in the Memphis heat, so we accepted the offer with alacrity.

When all was said and done, we were exhausted, and both of us had bruises on arms and legs to prove that we had worked like longshoremen. But, as one friend of mine had predicted, there were “mo-ments of delight.”

As we worked, we talked about the fact that we had spent more time alone togeth-er in that week than we ever had before. When Jordan was living at home, growing up, there were always other fam-ily members around. After she left for college, her sister, Eden, and I had some years together, just the two of us, but Jordan and I had never experienced that.

We laughed together, shared hurts, hopes and dreams, told each other things that neither of us had ever told anyone. We worked together, teaming up to fi gure things out. We shopped some, for things she needed in her new place. We made copious lists,

and sometimes remembered to consult them.

When the church bells of St. John’s Episcopal Church (right across the street from Jordan’s house) summoned me to worship on Sunday morning, I slipped into a pew and knelt there in heart-felt thanksgiving for all of God’s mercies, for blessings beyond counting and in fer-vent prayer for my Jordan: my fi rstborn, my daughter, my friend.

Sometimes, your feet seem so far away, don’t they? After all, your smiles, sneezes, winks, those holes for your ear buds, that hand bringing you your first morning

sip of coffee — all of the really important stuff seems to be at or near the top of you. Your feet are, well, way down there. But now, see yourself from a different point of view. Your feet are your foundation. They support you whenever you stand, walk, or run. Foot instability can be the cause of many postural problems throughout your body. A bad hair day isn’t going to make your feet sore, but bad feet can cause aches and pains all over. We care about your feet. Chiropractic adjustments and Foot Levelers’ custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers — a unique form of in-shoe orthotics — have helped thousands of people bring

their bodies back to a natural state of alignment. Call us today to see how our Associate™ Platinum digital scanner can show

you how your feet affect your postural status.

The Luttrell Library closed out the Summer Reading program July 29 with a pizza and cookie party and a prize winning bonanza.

The top three readers were allowed to pick their prizes, and a $50 Walmart gift card was the fi rst to go, followed swiftly by two $25 Walmart gift cards.

Five-year-old Kayden Brogdon and 6-year-old Patrick Spencer claimed the $50 gift and the $25 gift for reading 1,418 books each since the beginning of June. Twelve-year-old Ashton Lamb took home a $25 gift card for reading 890 books.

The remainder of the more than 90 readers who fi nished the program and at-tended the party took home their choice of toys, games,

lunch boxes, water games and many other fabulous prizes.

“We had 193 sign up, and 102 completed the program,” said librarian Gloria Fox. “In the month of July alone, we circulated 10,892 books.”

During the Summer Read-ing program, local celebrities came to visit the kids. Ronald McDonald dropped by, and Jasper the Rooster from the Tennessee Valley Fair popped in to entertain as well.

Fox has been the librarian in Luttrell for 20 years. She handled the book loaning back when the library was located in the single small room at Luttrell City Hall and is pleased to have been at the new location adjacent to the community center for the past fi ve years.

Fox has not only worked hard to help the kids with

their “One World, Many Stories” Summer Reading program, but in her “spare” time in 2011 she has man-aged to apply for and secure two grants for the library. One from the state totaled $16,000, and one from the Jane L. Pettway Foundation totaled $4,000. These grants have been used for technol-ogy purchases and will con-tinue to be used for future computer training classes for the community. The library will purchase seven laptops and accessories to allow for the classes.

“We plan to use part of the grants to start free com-puter classes for the com-munity at the end of August with a trained professional computer engineer,” said Fox. “It has been a very busy summer, and there is still more to come.”
