UT-Kentucky: a game of good-byes

During winter workouts, spring practice, summer exer-cises, all of August and earlier in the season, when it still mat-tered, Kentucky at Tennessee had all the earmarks of a great grudge game.

Oh what joy that would have been, leftover turkey and smoked Wildcats. Score 50 or 75 and get even for the mess made last November in Lexington. Start a new streak. Cuff ’em around. Leave no doubt who is boss in this little border rivalry.

By Cindy TaylorMore than 100 veterans attended

the Veterans Day program at Union County High School, held this year Nov. 9. The annual event is coordi-nated by Barbara Williams.

The Union County High School band and chorus provided music along with a special presentation by Karen Brown’s 2nd grade class from Maynardville Elementary and other musical talents. HOSA members spoke and the American Legion, Tri-County Honor Guard and VFW members handled the Posting of Colors. Recording artist Jason Earley sang one of his latest releases, “Forever Free America.”

Special guest speaker, state Rep. Dennis Powers, brought retired four-star Gen. Carl Stiner to meet the students. Stiner says he knew it was his moral obligation to serve his country and enlisted in the army during college. He served 35 years training troops and handling special operations in Korea, Viet-nam and in other hostilities.

“I learned a long time ago that if you take care of your troops and their families they will take care of you,” said Stiner. “Creating an en-vironment for growth is necessary for the soldier and his whole fam-ily. I was responsible by law for the lives of the soldiers entrusted to me. Their families expected me to bring them back in the same con-dition I took them in. That was my mission and motivation.”

Virtual Academy income to drop next yearBy Sandra Clark

The news from the Tennessee Virtual Academy just keeps get-ting worse. On Tuesday, the Coun-ty Commission learned that the county’s income for the fi nal years of the 4-year contract drops from four to two percent.

Mayor Mike Williams just shook his head and asked why a four-year contract did not have the commission’s approval.

Director of Schools Wayne Go-forth defended the program which is his baby.

“We had a team of lawyers put that contract together. It was signed by the director of schools and the chair of the school board.”

Goforth confi rmed that Union County would receive four per-cent of the state’s BEP money for students enrolled in the Virtual Academy the fi rst two years and then two percent in years three and four.

But he said the program offers

public education to students who just can’t fi t into a regular school.

“It’s so new, we’re building an airplane as we fl y it. (Virtual edu-cation) is the future and our coun-ty is on the cutting edge. You all ought to be proud of it, not asking questions,” he said.

But Trustee Gina Buckner not-ed that the most recent check to K12, the out-of-state corporation that runs the Virtual Academy, was for almost $6.4 million. The county’s cash-on-hand at the end of September was just over $7 mil-lion.

“We don’t want that airplane to crash and sink our county,” she told the commission.

After an hour of give and take, the commission passed a $75,000 transfer (from textbooks and sup-plies to teachers’ health insurance) requested by the school board. Vot-ing “no” were Jeff Brantley, Dawn Flatford and Brenda Jessee. Joyce Meltabarger abstained.

Brantley questioned school sys-tem spokesperson Lenny Holt on the proposal, saying kids should come fi rst.

Holt said the school board bud-gets the same amount for text-books annually, but this year the selection was literature, which was purchased for less than the budget-ed amount. “(Susan) Oaks ordered all the books she needed.”

Brantley said teachers should have insurance, but not at the ex-pense of the children.

Commissioner Jonathan Go-forth disagreed: “If every textbook has been bought and the (remain-ing) money is there, where’s the problem?

“You have no idea what teacher morale is like,” Jonathan Goforth said. “Please don’t sit in judgment of teachers. These are people with children and spouses. (Without help on insurance) they are taking a pay cut.

“Angry, upset teachers can’t ef-

fectively teach your kids. Teacher morale really does matter.”

Holt said the premiums for teacher health insurance increased by almost 10 percent this year and he expects another hike for 2013.

■ UCHS gets $90,000 grantWayne Goforth and high school

health science teacher Debbie Sharp announced a $90,000 grant for the health sci-ence program at UCHS.

The big ticket item is an ambu-lance simulator, which costs about

$35,000 and allows real-time EMT training. Sharp plans an iPad lab. She invited commission-ers to “come see our ambulance.”

Rescue workers give back

A host of heroes demon-strated rescues and trained residents about emergencies at Emergency Services Day. Maynardville fi re chief Charles Wilson said, “We needed a day when emergency services could come together and do demon-strations and give the public an opportunity to learn how we can protect them,”

with Rebecca MillsA Kingsport native, Rebecca Mills came to Maynard-

ville in 2005 as administrator of Willow Ridge Care and Rehabilitation Center. Since then she has become a famil-iar face, serving on numerous boards and committees.

“My mom is a nurse and I always knew I wanted to be in health care,” said Mills, who entered the fi eld after graduating from ETSU in 1999.

Growing up, Mills spent a lot of time on the job with her mom, who was director of nursing at a residential fa-cility in Kingsport.

“I loved all the residents and always asked if I could adopt them as my grandparents,” said Mills.

Before starting an administer-in-training program with Sunbridge, Mills was an activity director, social ser-vices director and interim business offi ce manager. She hails from a family of fi ve siblings and has been married to Todd Mills for seven years.

“We met at a marina on Boone Lake,” said Mills. “We have a 21-month-old beautiful, sweet, smart and loving daughter, Lily Elizabeth.”

The family loves to go whitewater rafting, tailgating at Vol football games and camping.

“We are so happy we were able to fi nd jobs and stay in beautiful East Tennessee,” said Mills.

Sit and have a coffee break as you get to know Rebecca Mills.

What is your favorite quote from TV or a movie? “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” – “Dirty Dancing”

What are you guilty of? Overanalyzing situations and being slow to make

decisions.

What is your favorite material possession? My iPhone. I keep in touch with my family and

friends, read the Bible, listen to music, use it as an alarm clock, take pictures and videos, and set impor-tant reminders on it. I could survive without it but I don’t want to.

What are you reading currently? The only books I get to read lately are to my daughter

Lily. Her favorite is “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle.

Coffee Break

What was your most embarrassing moment? In high school while I was on my way to fl ag duty, a

boy that I kind of had a crush on spoke to me, and as I was walking backwards to chat with him I tripped over a step and did a backwards fl ip. I went to a Christian school and we had to wear dresses so you know where my dress went – right over my head. It was horrifying!

What are the top three things on your bucket list? 1. Go back to Jamaica on a mission trip. I went when

I was 16 and worked at a Bible camp for kids and have always wanted to go back with my husband.

2. See Niagara Falls. 3. Go out West, work on a dude ranch and ride horses.

What is one word others often use to describe you and why?

Genuine. I am pretty down-to-earth and try to be gra-cious to everyone.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I wish I was a morning person and could start my day before the sun comes up. I need at least eight hours of sleep, but I wish I could survive on less.

What is your passion? My friends, family and my job. I put my whole heart

in them all!

With whom, living or dead, would you most like to have a long lunch?

If you had asked me this when I was a teenager I would

have said Billy Ray Cyrus. But now I would have to say my maternal grandparents. I would love for my daughter to get to sit in their lap and love on them.

Other than your parents, who has had the big-gest infl uence on your life and why?

Johnny Gibson, the pastor at the church I grew up in. He led me and my family to Christ. My church family was like my family. I believe that raising your children in church is very important.

I still can’t quite get the hang of …Whistling. I have always wanted to let out a

big whistle while at a Tennessee football game.

What is the best present you ever received in a box?

My engagement ring.

What is the best advice your mother ever gave you?

“Don’t forget to pray about it, God didn’t go to sleep and forget about you.”

What is your social media of choice? Facebook

What is the worst job you have ever had? I have not had any bad jobs, but while I was

doing my administrator in training program, I had to snake several toilets while I was working

in the maintenance department.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon and why?

“The Flintstones.” I’m not sure why. I guess because it made me laugh.

What irritates you? When people who aren’t handicapped park in handi-

cap spaces.

What’s one place in Union County everyone should visit? Willow Ridge Care and Rehabilitation Center. People

don’t just wake up one day and say let’s go look at nurs-ing homes in case we need one some day. It’s usually a decision that has to be made after an illness or injury and then the family is left to try to make decisions. Nursing homes are not what people often imagine. Wil-low Ridge is very full of life and we rehab many folks so that they can go back home.

What is your greatest fear? Something bad happening to my daughter. I never

really understood how much my parents loved me until I became a parent myself.

If you could do one impulsive thing, what would it be? Sell our house, buy a motor home and travel with

my husband and daughter camping at all the beautiful campgrounds across the country.

It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure alcohol stays out of the hands of our youth.

What are the causes and risk factors of teen alcoholism?

Per MedicineNet.com; Medical Author: Roxanne Dryden-Edwards, MD

Family risk factors for teenagers developing drinking problems include low levels of parent supervision or communication, fam-ily confl icts, inconsistent or severe parental discipline, and a fam-ily history of alcohol or drug abuse. Individual risk factors include problems managing impulses, emotional instability, thrill-seeking behaviors, and perceiving the risk of using alcohol to be low. Girls who drink, as well as teens who begin drinking prior to 14 years of age and those whose mothers have drinking problems, are more likely to develop alcoholism. Teen risk factors for alcoholism dif-fer a bit between the 14- to 16-year-old and 16- to 18-year-old age groups, in that 16- to 18-year-olds tend to be less likely to drink in excess when they have a close relationship with their mothers.

What are the symptoms of alcohol abuse in teens?

Some of the most common symptoms of alcohol abuse in teenag-ers include lying, making excuses, breaking curfew, staying in their room, becoming verbally or physically abusive toward others, having items in their possession that are connected to alcohol use (paraphernalia), the smell of alcohol on their breath or body, mood swings, stealing, and changes in friends.

What is the treatment for alcohol intoxication?

Replacing fl uids that are lost as a result of the increased urination associated with drinking is often used to treat alcohol intoxication. Doctors frequently use fl uids that contain sugars for that purpose.

What is alcohol poisoning?Alcohol poisoning is the potentially fatal result of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol in a short period of time. It is caused by alcohol slowing down the body's functions (for example, breathing, heart rate, and gag refl ex), thereby potentially leading to choking, coma, stopped breathing, stopped heart, and death. Treatment involves getting the person to the hospital immediately so he or she can be closely watched by medical professionals, given oxygen and fl uids, and so that other measures can be taken in order to prevent choking, as well as stopped breathing or heartbeat.

Center. Photos by C. Taylor

This group is always in-volved in the community but this was the fi rst time the center had participated in packing Christmas shoe boxes.

I was a little worried they wouldn’t want to do this,” said center director Melanie Dykes. “Once they got start-ed every one of them joined in and loved it.”

Coordinators Dykes, Alise Heemstra and Mar-vin Jeffreys set out items so packers could move from table to table as they fi lled their boxes. The se-niors packed more than 100 boxes and still have a few to go. They have dubbed them-selves “Senior Santas.”

“We hope to make this bigger and better every year,” said Jeffreys. “The miracle stories we hear back about where these boxes go and the kids who receive them are phenomenal.”

Anyone who would like to pack a box can bring it to FSG Bank on or before 9:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 19. Jeffreys’ goal is 2,000 shoe boxes this year, and he needs a bit over 400 more to reach that goal.

Special guest speaker was Will Phillips, manager of the Union County Farm-ers Co-op. Phillips, a Scott County native, says he married into Union County and has observations as an outsider.

“Like many of you I watch people drive right past our businesses to shop in Knoxville,” said Phillips. “At the co-op we are trying to get the word out that we are more than just fertil-izer and chicken feed with onsite activities, outdoor

To close, Phillips listed the top fi ve ways you know you’re in Union County.

“Number one is, if some-body says “Back of this” you

know they mean something that happened a period of time ago.”

Gina Buckner said Toys for Tots is up and running, and angel trees are going up in local businesses. More

than 500 kids are on the list this year in Union County alone. Distribution day is 9 a.m. to noon Thursday, Dec. 15, at the high school.

Marvin Jeffreys encour-aged everyone to get their

shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child fi lled and returned to FSG Bank by Nov. 19.

Darrell Johnson has scheduled the next trash pickup for Thursday, Nov. 29. Meet at First Century Bank at 3:30 p.m.

“This gets our streets in good shape right before the Christmas parade,” said Johnson.

Union County Man and Woman of the year will be announced at the BPA ban-quet Saturday, Nov. 17. Tick-ets are available from BPA members.

Point honors veterans. Photo by B. Peters

As we honor our veter-ans, another wonderful remembrance has been placed at Pleasant Point Cemetery on Goin Road not far across the Union Coun-ty line in Claiborne County.

Our own Sgt. Abijah Col-lins of Keck’s Chapel was interred there. Sgt. Collins is the great grandfather of Robert B. Ellison and Rob-ert and Ollie Ellison have placed a beautiful new 4- by 8- foot plaque/sign at Pleas-ant Point that includes the names of three Revolution-ary War soldiers, one War of 1812 Soldier, 17 Civil War soldiers and one World War I soldier.

Sgt. Collins served in the 1st Tennessee Infantry during the Civil War. Many thanks to Robert and Ollie for this gesture of recogni-tion and honor to our local veterans.

Thomas Goin served in the Revolution; perhaps it is for him that Goin Road is named.

Harmon married Sarah Cole, daughter of John and Mary Ann Livingston Cole. Sarah Cole Hopper was born in 1762 and died Aug. 30, 1784. They had several children, among them Jesse who was born Oct. 18, 1811; Nancy born March 16, 1785, who married Daniel Robin-son; Stephen Merrity who was born about 1790 and fi rst married Bethenia Robertson on July 27, 1811. His second marriage was to Polly Roach.

Josiah Cole was a fi rst cousin to Mary Ann Livings-ton Cole. Hopper also served under Col. Moore and Major Donahoe from Caswell Coun-ty, N. C. He was discharged

at Guilford County, N. C. by Josiah Cole. Hopper reen-listed about July 1781 under Captain Dickinson, marched to Orange County, N. C., and fought a battle with the To-ries in which the Tories were defeated. He also participat-ed in the Battle of Kindley’s Mill under Col. Moore. He was 21-years-old when he en-listed. Harmon Hopper is the 3rd great grandfather of the late Wayne R. Hill.

John Ousley/Owsley was also a Revolutionary. His son Matthew Ousley married Sarah Keck, daughter of Con-rad (Coonrod) Keck.

John Ousley’s daughter Anna Ousley married John Keck, brother to Sarah. The Ousley line has been traced all the way back to King Ed-ward III as well as Lady Go-diva. Some time ago, the Ous-

ley/Owsley Family Historical Society placed an impressive monument at Pleasant Point for John and Charity Barton Ousley. I understand that Mr. Homer Keck of the Ousley/Owsley Family Historical So-ciety placed a monument for Anna Ousley Keck and John Keck. Robert Ellison is also related to John Ousley.

Civil War veteran, John R. Craig, is an ancestor of John Russell Craig of Sharps Chapel who served in World War II.

How the Virtual Academy did in John Kemp

John Kemp from Straw-berry Plains has met seven times with various Union County offi cials, trying to sell his idea of installing solar panels on public roof-tops or fl at spots to generate energy.

Last Tuesday his pro-posal was abruptly tabled. I never saw it coming.

Kemp’s idea was both new and scary. And the commissioners had just heard Trustee Gina Buckner do the math on the Virtual Academy – a new and scary deal that fl ows millions of dollars through Union County and on to investors someplace else.

Buckner feels a chill ev-ery time she cuts a check for $6 million and halves the county’s cash reserves.

John Kemp of Earth Right proposed to install six to nine solar operations on public property for a rental fee of $900 per spot per

year. There would be no cost to the county, while Kemp’s company would keep the federal tax credits and earn income from energy pro-duced.

“There is zero cost to the county,” he said. “After 20 years, you can renew the contract or take over the technology or we’ll remove it – your call.

“If you approve this to-night, we can start instal-lation before the fi rst of the year.”

Mayor Mike Williams was hesitant, saying he didn’t want to obligate the county for such a small re-turn – $5,400 per year.

Commissioners pep-pered Kemp with questions, even though it was the sec-ond or third time he had presented. His contract had been vetted by county attor-ney K. David Myers.

Boom! Somebody moved to table and the axe fell on poor John Kemp. Only three commissioners voted against killing the proposal: Gary England, Jonathan Go-forth and Joyce Meltabarger.

Kemp went home and it’s doubtful solar energy will come to the county, at least any time soon.

DOWN-homeUPdate

By Cindy TaylorA host of heroes demon-

strated rescues and trained residents about emergen-cies at Emergency Services Day Nov. 10 at Union Coun-ty High School.

Personnel from Union County Ambulance Ser-vice, Union County Res-cue Squad and LIFESTAR; Paulette, North East Union, Luttrell, Maynardville and Sharps Chapel volunteer fi re departments, and the Maynardville Police De-partment and Union County Sheriff’s Offi ce participated.

Maynardville fi re chief Charles Wilson was inspired to host the event a couple of years ago when he attended a similar event elsewhere.

“We needed a day in Union County when emer-gency services could come together and do demonstra-tions and give the public an opportunity to learn how we can protect them,” said Wilson.

Heroes for any emergency

Crystal Muncey and Darrell White take to the skies on ladder truck No. 91. Photos by C. Taylor

Firefi ghter Mandi Suddath dons 50 pounds of gear with help from

her husband, Matt. Both are fi refi ghters with North East Union.

State trooper Adam Bowman and son Aiden enjoy a tour of

LIFESTAR with crew members Judy Lawson (nurse), Roger

Strassler (pilot) and Jo Pack (nurse).

Volunteer fi refi ghters Darrell White and Crystal Muncey demonstrated a lad-der climb in gear and straps, working on Maynardville

ladder truck No. 91. Muncey is new to the Maynardville VFD and White is a 29-year veteran.

“The safety belt must be worn if a fi refi ghter leaves the platform of the truck,” said Wilson. “Coming back down is backwards and the rule is three points of con-tact at all times.”

One interesting demon-stration was of a thermal imaging camera that enables fi refi ghters to register the degree of heat inside a wall. An extrication demonstra-tion featuring the Jaws of Life (hydraulic rescue tools) took place at noon, and con-cessions were furnished by the Fire Chiefs Association with funds split among all fi re departments.

By Cindy TaylorMany in Union County

are familiar with the beau-tiful photographs taken by Hazel Erikson. She recent-ly expanded her business by adding a new medium.

“Every couple of years I have to try something dif-ferent,” she says. “I have done postcards and calen-dars so this year I’m trying photographs on canvas. I had a friend ask me to do a triptych and it kind of mi-grated to this.”

Erikson says people love

the art form and it is selling well. She sends her photos out to a specialty company

and has them converted to canvas.

The art looks too much

like a painting to be a pho-tograph and too much like a photograph to be a paint-ing.

Her work is for sale and on display at the Union County Arts Cooperative.

Erikson also does a cal-endar each year that fea-tures many locations in Union County. The 2013 calendar is ready and is being sold for $15. Info: [email protected] or 278-1084.Contact Info: [email protected]

Being thankful

but most of all for the love that Jesus Christ has shown to us

by dying on the cross.

I am very thankful that when a horse bucked me off I sustained only a mild head injury and broken wrist. I am very grateful for the excellent care the Union County EMS provided during my trip to Ten-nova. My husband, Bill, waited on me hand and foot during my long recovery period and I am blessed with his patience, good humor and good cooking. I have more friends than I realized, and I am thank-ful to them for their kindnesses and friendship.

I am thankful for our two wonderful kids, an extraordinary daughter-in-law and three healthy grandchildren. I am very thankful that we live in beautiful Union County, that our home was not washed away in Hurricane Sandy or that the whole neighborhood did not go up in f lames. At a time when so many people are hurting so badly, when so many have lost so much, it is hard not to be grateful for all that we have; family, friends and food.

Each year around Thanksgiving, the Shopper-News asks several Union County friends to relay what they are thankful for. Here are their responses:

Marty McConnaughey

I am thankful for my husband, Jim, an incredible hard-working man, who has given me love, respect, consider-ation and trust for more than 36 years. I am thankful for my children, who keep me as a vital part of their lives; my grandchildren, who warm my heart with their squeals of delight and hugs that never end. Coming from a large family has many rewards, brothers and sisters who are always there, no matter what. I am thankful for the laughter when we are all together that can be heard throughout the neighborhood.

When I see the magnifi cent sun-sets that only our Creator could de-sign and His palette of fall colors in the landscape around me, I rejoice as it takes my breath away. Most ofall, I am thankful for the peace and joy in knowing that God loves me and He will always be here for me. It is be-cause of Jesus and what He gave us that I have so much to be thankful for.

Marty McConnaughey, Union County Artist

“I am thankful that we have a loving and under-standing God who is in control. He has blessed me greatly. I am thankful for my family, friends and church family at Clear Springs Baptist Church. I love and pray for each and every one of you.

I am thankful for my granddaughter Grace; the little angel who laughed, walked, sang, danced, col-ored and played with me through a very difficult time of my life. Most of all, I am thankful for my wife, Linda, who prays for me and has stood by me through thick and thin.”

Wayne Goforth/Director of Union County Schools

“I am so thankful for family. I don’t have any blood relatives here in Tennessee, but Ronnie’s fam-ily is near and I love them like they were my own. I am thankful for friends that care and love you for who you are. I am thankful for a husband who has put up with this “yankee” for 24 years and counting. But most of all, I am thankful for my salvation and our church family at Alder Springs Baptist Church. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and don’t forget to be thankful.”

“I am thankful for this room (at Willow Ridge) and all the girls that are so good to me. And the boys, too!”

Lorena DeVault, Resident/Willow Ridge Sylvia O’Malley

And, to close, a special poem.I look upon Thanksgiving Day with anxious eyes and

a hopeful heart.Unlike the wonders of the past Thanksgiving Days we

are all apart.I aimlessly try for the family gathering each year, no

one will arrive.So I ask that they use pen and ink to write and write

some more.I hope they will scribe only half of what they are

thankful for.I’m thankful that the old broken links of affection will

be restored.And my old but favorite aunt smiles where the young

girl smiled before.I hope they write tales of friends who perhaps traveled

with each of them.I hope their own tables hold a wealth of prime Thanks-

giving fare, and that Love and Peace and Joy and Health will be with them there, and also with me here.

I am thankful too for all that God has taken away but given to me, For He shows me the way, gives me the strength and the faith to believe.

Be Thankful.

During winter workouts, spring practice, summer ex-ercises, all of August and ear-lier in the season, when it still mattered, Kentucky at Ten-nessee had all the earmarks of a great grudge game.

Oh what joy that would have been, leftover tur-key and smoked Wildcats. Score 50 or 75 and get even for the mess made last No-vember in Lexington. Start a new streak. Cuff ’em around. Leave no doubt who is boss in this little border rivalry.

Ouch. It hurts to consid-er what transpired.

The orange quarterback who didn’t play very well at the end of 2011 and was

Oh what might have been

accused of not caring, and still behaved as a juvenile delinquent in June and July, noticed pro scouts frowning, grew up some and threw really big num-bers at weaker foes.

Great arm, absolutely great.

Where there was no run-ning game, one developed. It isn’t awesome but it is noticeable. The offensive

line matured and became a source of pride. Which hand James Stone used for centering ceased to matter.

Receivers performed much as advertised. Well, Cordarrelle Patterson was even more exciting. Yes, some of his moves were side-ways but they were magical.

The defense? Prayers were not enough. This group fl uctuated between helpless and hopeless. Don’t try to do the math on cost per stop – salaries, offi ce space, courtesy cars, cellphones, whistles, caps, food, travel, overheated calculators trying to keep count of the yardage. Play-ers were extra.

Kentucky didn’t con-tribute much toward mak-ing the great grudge match meaningful. It lost by 40-0 to visiting Vanderbilt and got Joker fi red with time still on the clock. He was going, either way.

We have learned that Southeastern Conference coaches who do not win are replaced. This is extra-large business. There are few discounts in debt service. Empty seats are a waste. Pa-tience is not a virtue.

You have heard the trum-pets and the battle cry: Fire the coach and maybe the athletic director and chan-cellor, if they get in the way.

Dearly departed coaches are seldom crushed. They go with big buyouts, sign on with ESPN and live happily ever af-ter – unless they are recycled.

Alas, they are sometimes replaced by other coaches who get paid a lot but do not win in the Southeastern Con-ference. Tough league. Oh, you have noticed.

What Kentucky-Tennes-see has been reduced to is a going-away present. Think kindly of those who will leave early for the NFL. Please ap-plaud as seniors are intro-duced. This is their fi nal fl ing on Shields-Watkins Field – unless they make large dona-tions or until they are legends at some distant homecoming.

I admire Ben Bar-tholomew, third-generation Volunteer, willing to try any assignment, faithful to the fi nish. And Herman Lathers, linebacker who would never give up.

Tight end Mychal Rivera did his job. Offensive guard

Dallas Thomas was on the Outland Trophy watch list but may not win. Wideout Zach Rogers certainly con-tributed, especially against the Carolinas.

I salute linebacker Wil-lie Bohannon and defensive backs Prentiss Waggner, Marsalis Teague and Rod Wilks. Strange that some were more functional last year than this.

How about Joseph Ayres becoming a starter for a few minutes. What a surprise when Darin Gooch was a late May discovery at Butte junior college.

There are other seniors, long-suffering. Sorry they didn’t get to experience Ten-nessee on top. Yes, we still remember.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

address is [email protected].

The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and ex-alted be the God of the rock of my salvation. There-fore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

(2 Samuel 22: 47, 50 KJV)

As is so often the case, I know this text because I have sung it; not in a hymn, nor an anthem, but in a praise chorus. I will admit (and there are those who know this about me and love me anyway) that

Blessed be my rockcontemporary praise mu-sic is not my native tongue.

It is not that I don’t like it, or can’t sing it. And I admit there are some real gems among its additions to church music. The plain truth is that I think the faith is more complex than simple praise. There is also a place in our church music for hymns that challenge us, that call us out beyond ourselves, that

Applications being taken for commodity foods The East Tennessee Human Resource Agency office in Maynardville, 701

acknowledge our broken-ness and our uncertainty, that allow us to lament, to weep and to grow.

Besides which, I am nearing the age when I can defend any unpopu-lar opinion I have with, “What do you want from me? I’m old!”

But this particular text, even in the King James Version, has a cadence to it, a swing. Go back to the top of this column and read the first sentence of that 2 Samuel text out loud. Read it with emphasis, like you

mean it! You see? You hear that rhythm?

This Thanksgiving week, while we are giving thanks and carving the turkey, let’s remember the gifts we have been given:

While chiropractors are well known for their spinal adjustments, hands-on treatments designed to put the bones of the spine back in line, they use a variety of methods for treating patients.

One of them is massage therapy. A massage is not just a luxury indulgence; it’s an extremely effective way to ease pain and loosen up tightened muscles.

Massages come in various forms. With a deep tissue massage, the chiropractor works deep into muscles, releasing lactic acid and other by-products from the muscles. This procedure can be uncomfortable, but it should never be painful. Another type of massage employs heated rocks, like basalt, to warm muscle tissue. Yet another form of massage is the light touch approach, which focuses on blood and lymphatic fl ow.

Tightened muscles, depending on which they are, can cause problems by pulling on joints and on the spine and moving bones out of alignment. They can prevent a joint, and the spine, from operating properly. According to the American Chiropractic Association, regular massage may also lower blood pressure, ease stress, anxiety and depression and help people with chronic low-back pain to sleep better.

Talk with your chiropractor about the benefi ts of massage and other chiropractic techniques.

Union County High School Athlete of the Week

Tony StrevelBy Cindy Taylor

Tony Strevel is work-ing hard to make his fi nal sea-son as a Patriot his best ever. The Union C o u n t y High School senior has p l a y e d

basketball since he was four years old and came up through the ranks. The Union County High School Senior says the coaches are

making the difference.“We have the best coach-

ing staff we could ask for,” said Strevel. “They get things done.”

“Tony has spent a lot of time working on his game pre-season,” said coach Shane Brown. “He had a very good summer and is one of the hardest-working kids I have been around. We are expecting big things from Tony this season.”

Strevel says basketball has always been a refuge for him but he doesn’t plan to play at the college level. He plans to attend ETSU to study busi-ness and accounting.
