Luttrell gets sidewalk grant
Luttrell Elementary School will get a sidewalk and cross-walk as a result of a $98,585 grant announced last week by Gov. Bill Haslam.
Luttrell’s grant was one of 17 totalling $1.8 million through the Safe Routes to School fund-ing program, a statewide initia-tive designed to make bicycling and walking to school a safer, more appealing and healthier alternative for students.
“Increased physical activ-ity is key to improving the health of Tennessee families,” Haslam said. “The Safe Routes to School Program helps com-munities across the state cre-ate safer walking and biking environments for students and encourages a healthy lifestyle.”
The grants are made pos-sible through a federally fund-ed program administered by the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

By Libby MorganCrissy Haslam, wife of Gov. Bill
Haslam, visited Big Ridge and oth-er Tennessee parks in anticipation of the “Tennessee Landscapes” theme at the annual holiday open house at the Tennessee Residence in December.
She was met by Ranger Sarah Nicley, Nicley’s mother, Wendy Leedy, and park manager John Howell, and took a short tour around the park.
While the group enjoyed the view of Big Ridge Lake, Haslam asked Nicley about the “Ghost House” on the park property.
“Our Ghost House Tour night-time walk is my favorite thing all year. I’ve been doing it since I came here,” said Nicley.
And while she explained the legend, an unusual-looking wild duck meandered up close.
“That’s a Muscovy, and it’s a ‘perching duck.’ They aren’t na-tive to this area. This guy’s been hanging around for a while,” said Nicley.
Leedy gave Haslam a book Leedy illustrated, “The Jesus Donkey,” by David Chaltas.
“I loved visiting Big Ridge State Park to see the beautiful lake and all the recreational opportunities for families to enjoy,” said Haslam.

By Sandra ClarkWow. When individual school
scores were released (fi nally) by the Tennessee Department of Ed-ucation last week, Union County found reason to celebrate – 9 of 11 reasons, specifi cally. “We can celebrate meeting our AMOs (an-nual measurable objectives), but we have a lot of work to do,” said Director of Schools Jimmy Carter.
No Union County school, in-cluding the Virtual Academy, was “on the list” of the state’s lowest-performing schools.
Hey, let’s just celebrate this week.
The state expects about 4 per-cent growth in math and English/language arts each year. Union County wasn’t square on that tar-get, but it beat the state average. Take a look.
3-8 grade R/LA – Union Coun-ty 3.4 percent increase; state 1 percent decrease.
3-8 grade Math – UCPS, 3.4 percent increase; state .5 percent increase.
The downside is overall pro-fi ciency in Union County – 39.6 percent in reading/language arts and 24.9 percent in math. Carter said he is working closely with math teachers to increase profi -ciency. “We have developed pacing guides, common assessments and
standards-based benchmarks to raise these scores.”
Carter said schedule chang-es resulted in a “surge” in third grade math scores – “a positive sign for the coming year.” Third grade math profi ciency in UCPS increased 3.5 percent, while the state’s overall third grade math profi ciency dropped 2.7 percent.
A highlight was math scores at Maynardville Elementary School. The scores doubled over the pre-vious year and resulted in a “5” – the top ranking – in average yearly progress.
Carter also called out for spe-cial recognition the seventh grade reading/language arts profi ciency increase at Horace Maynard Mid-dle School. UCPS increased 8.9 percent (with 40.2 percent of all students advanced or profi cient), while the state increased 3.5 per-cent.
Other highlights were Alge-bra I at the high school where al-most 70 percent were advanced or profi cient and English II which showed 58.4 percent advanced or profi cient. Almost half of Algebra II students were advanced or pro-fi cient, a change of 14 percent over the previous year.
While the graduation rate re-mains low, it has risen from 74 percent (of incoming freshmen

How Union County High School compares
Last year, this writer had to dig for hours to compile this list. This year, Carter and his staff com-piled it themselves and showed it to the school board. No won-der. It shows UCHS on par with
some Knox County Schools. (The chart includes 17 schools – we’re comparing these – Carter High, Central High, Fulton High, Gibbs High and Halls High. The number shows the percent profi cient or ad-vanced.)
Let’s not rest until every kid is profi cient, but let’s not take a back seat to anyone. Principal Linda Harrell and her team get a rousing high fi ve from this w riter for these scores. Let’s go, Patriots!

Union County was well-represented at the East Ten-nessee History Fair held in downtown Knoxville. Front and center in Krutch Park, Wanda Byerley and Martha Carter displayed books and journals on Union County history, with hundreds stopping by to dig into their genealogy and remember their times in the county.
Hollie Cook at the Knox Heritage table says she vis-ited Maynardville earlier in the week in preparation for a walking tour of the history of the area.
“Maynardville is a great place, and it’s so close to Knoxville. We’re looking forward to working with Ju-lie Graham on this project. It’s something that will take a couple of years to happen, with funds possibly coming from a humanities grant,” says Cook.
In the lobby of the East Tennessee History Center, corn shuck doll artist Anne Freels showed dozens of her creations and demonstrated her craft.
Just down Gay Street, Freels has a small window display, which currently is a scene about the history of snake handling, with her dolls holding curlicue vines to represent the snakes.
Luttrell students Hannah and Isaiah Ketron toured the museum and grounds and loved the military dis-plays lining Clinch Avenue.

The church held its fi rst annual House Mountain Hoedown, ending the day with a square dance in the pavilion.
“We’re really happy with the turnout today,” says Darrell Acuff, an organizer of the event. “We have had several hundred people here, and everyone seemed to have a great time.”
The church will hold its annual Apple Festival 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, with all things apple plus barbecue, live music, a farmers market and kids activities.
■ Heritage Fest plans underwayThe Union County Heri-
tage Festival, to be held Sat-urday, Oct. 4, in Maynard-ville, is celebrating its 10th year.
As in past years, the fes-tival will be held at Wilson Park, Union County Muse-um and Union County Arts, with a shuttle between, with live music on stages in the park and on the Back Porch stage and front porch of the gallery.
A quilt show and au-thors’ tables will be set up in the museum. Ellen Perry, at 865-992-4631 or [email protected] and Wanda Byerley at 865-992-5208 are organizing the museum events.
Festival volunteers plan
to dress in period clothing and encourage everyone who attends to do the same. An award will be given for the best costume.
More volunteers are needed to help with parking and setup, and more spon-sors are being sought. Call Marie Rhyne at 865-679-1071.
On the stages in the park, the entertainment lineup includes Betterway Quar-tet, Valley Boys, Highway 33 Band, Pleasant Valley Boys and the Paulette Volunteer Fire Department Jammers.

The Strevel boys of LuttrellAs in all other wars, many
families had more than one person serving at the same time in the Civil War.
I found these three per-sons by the name of Strevel from the Luttrell area.
Information is particu-larly skimpy for David and John, so anyone who can add to our history about the
Bonnie Peters
Strevel boys will be greatly appreciated.
We would also like to have a picture of each if there is one available.
David Strevel enlisted in the Union Army, Company D, 1st Tennessee Infantry; but this is all the informa-tion I have found on him thus far.
Pvt. John Strevel served in the Confederate Army in Co. A, 5th McKenzie, Ten-
of the Peace (J.P.) in Clai-borne County. Their chil-dren were: Andrew, b. 1855; Isabel, b. 1859, and Esau, b. 1860.
Lydia Lane Strevel, his widow, applied for pension in 1870 – signed by Eliza-beth Keck, J. P. Harbison, L. A. Monroe and James J. McNew, J.P.
She was required to state that she had in no way aid-ed, abetted or been engaged in the rebellion against the United States.
Her second petition was signed by Jesse Rogers, James Dyer, Eli Miller, Da-vid Miller and William Col-vin, Clerk.

County Clerk Pam Ailor was out of town and will be sworn in Aug. 25, Ed-mondson said. Her staff was sworn, along with reserve deputies, regular deputies and other courthouse staff members.
Johnny Ray Collins is the only new school board member.
Six are new on County Commission: Dennis Nicley, Stan Dail, Jim Greene, Lynn Beeler, Kenny Hill and Tony Strevel. Hill, from District 5, will be sworn in later.

Pvt. William Strevel joined the Union Army, Co. D., 1st Tennessee Infantry on March 28, 1862, com-manded by James W. Bran-son. The muster records contain two death dates for Pvt. Strevel. One says Aug. 4, 1862, and another says “on or about July 13, 1862” of disease at Barbourville, Ky.

Even if you know almost nothing about Tennessee football, it is time for pre-dictions.
As a longstanding realist, I say 7-5 and an invitation to a minor bowl would be prog-ress. Anything more would be cause for celebration and raises all around. Anything less than 6-6 would be seri-ous. The Volunteers cannot afford to get stuck in reverse and dump a bunch of bricks.
We have excuses: Young team, tough schedule, inex-perienced linemen.
We have reasons to ex-pect more than last year:
Improved speed. Money, whatever it took
for all the show-and-tell Butch Jones could think of as enhancements, from gray
7-5 and a minor bowl bid
uniforms to inspirational speakers to stadium disc jockey. Travel allowance was essentially unlimited, enough to go anywhere as many times as the law al-lows. This combination, in the hands of sales profes-sionals, produced signifi -cant recruiting success.
Development is a reason-able next step for a second-season coaching staff paid at a championship level.
Culture change, account-
ability, internal leadership, faith in the future should pay preliminary dividends.
I have heard the expecta-tions of joyous optimists and their opposites, those who concede that Vanderbilt has passed Tennessee. Predic-tions range from 4-8 to 9-3. I have tallied a hundred or more. The average might be a break-even season.
Confi dence suffered a set-back when CBS Sports.com checked in. The network televises a game of the week from the SEC. That quali-fi es all staffers as insightful. Their opinion is Tennessee does not yet have it. Butch got one vote for coach of the year and Tennessee got one vote for fourth place in the SEC East, several for fi fth
and one for sixth.The CBS all-SEC team
does not mention Tennes-see, not even A.J. Johnson, labeled an all-American by local enthusiasts.
Gambling guru Danny Sheridan thankfully left the Vols off his list of 10 worst teams in the country but awarded “honorable men-tion.”
USAToday/Coaches poll was not particularly comfort-ing. Fifty-one teams received votes. Tennessee did not.
SEC sports information directors said the Vols will fi nish 11th in the league. SEC media said 12th.
Paul Finebaum, godfa-ther of the new SEC Net-work, was alarming. He said fans should not con-cern themselves with the Oklahoma horror chamber. Of greater concern is the opener against Utah State.
Oh my.Forecasting is simple if
you accept this vision: Utah State, Chattanooga, Arkan-sas State, Vanderbilt and Kentucky are need-to-be victories. Missouri, Florida and Ole Miss are possible upsets. Georgia and South Carolina are unlikely. Okla-homa and Alabama are more unlikely.
A fan who said “eight is enough” is betting on nine. She picked the Vols to win the opener and move boldly past everybody except the Sooners, Crimson Tide and Gamecocks.
One reaction to that fore-cast: “Nobody in touch with reality would pick this Ten-nessee team to win three SEC road games.”
Several paid to predict have Georgia winning the SEC title. Great running backs do make a difference.
Mississippi has a very good quarterback and is listed among the most underrated teams in the country. The Vols project as seven-point unde rdogs in Oxford.
The 6-6 consensus counts three non-conference victo-ries and a strong November. That would mean an ugly six out of seven setbacks with only Chattanooga to break up the losing streak. Vol fans may learn to appre-ciate open dates.
This is not part of predic-tions but the opener is critical. Utah State has a busy-body quarterback. I am not con-vinced Tennessee has learned to contain quarterbacks who run. I am not sure it can dis-rupt quarterbacks who throw. I am sure the Volunteers must win the fi rst one.
Must-must-must.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected]
The fi rst school lunch programs in Union County began in one- and two-room schools in the 1940s. Today, every school has a kitchen equipped to serve a hot lunch daily to every student.
Over the years the gov-ernment developed a pro-gram to provide free or reduced price meals for stu-dents who were economical-ly disadvantaged. In more recent years the identity of students on “free lunch” be-came a major issue of con-fi dentiality, but this was not so in my elementary years.
In those days, teachers typically began the school day by giving students as-signments while attendance and “lunch count” were taken. Ms. Marie Lynch routinely called out “Free!” (All students receiving free lunch would raise their hands.) “Reduced!” (More hands.) “Paid!” (Hands.)
Ronnie Mincey
TEACHER TIME
Confi dentially speaking
“Brought lunch!” If the total hand count did not equal the total number present, the process was repeated. It was important that every student eat lunch.
Next, money from “pay-ing” students was collected by the teacher and delivered to the cafeteria. This was routine, and we paid little attention to who was “paid” or “free.”
I received free lunch and never remember any class-mate making a big deal of it.
By the time I was in high school, confi dentiality had
become more important. I was amused when I received a fake metal coin to present to Ms. Jessie Booker when I went through the line. I’d give her this “coin,” and she would pass me another so it appeared I was paying for lunch and she was giving me change.
With each passing year, confi dentiality of those receiving free or reduced price lunches became in-creasingly important. As federal programs supervi-sor I was required to sign an agreement that I would keep the identity of students receiving free or reduced price meals confi dential.
Now our school system participates in Community Eligibility, a program that provides a daily lunch at no cost to every student in the school system. I applaud this program if, for no other reason, it levels the playing
fi eld for all students, mak-ing income level a non-issue (at least in respect to the lunch program).
Unfortunately, some-where throughout the years the idea developed that low income and low academic achievement were related. Years of statistical data from standardized tests support this belief, though anyone who has taught for any re-spectable length of time can give numerous examples of low income students who excelled academically and of more affl uent students who did not.
In her book “A Frame-work for Understanding Poverty,” Dr. Ruby K. Payne points out several elements that ensure success for all students, regardless of in-come: role models and emo-tional resources, support systems, discipline and ef-fective instruction.
Union County’s public schools are capable of and have provided these sup-ports for decades. As Wan-
za Sharp said, “Children, the program’s here, if you want it.” Former students who consider themselves successful are indebted to the formative years of pub-
lic schooling.I was blessed as a Union
County student with great role models. Next week I’ll refl ect on one of the many. Dr. Ronnie Mincey is supervisor of federal programs for Union County Schools.
The rate of her pension was $8 per month begin-ning in November 1870.
Another petition in 1879 was signed by S. M. Need-ham and I. C. Dyer, J.P. Still another affi davit was signed by Pleasant and Eli Miller. Then another by James W. Branson, late Captain of St-revel’s regiment.
Lydia died in 1909 “of old age and LaGrippe.”
One account says she was buried in the John Miller Cemetery in the old 2nd District, near where she died.
However, she is listed and has a grave marker in Big Barren Cemetery. Find-
A-Grave has William listed there as well, No. 46336887.
In 2000, when the Union County cemeteries were cat-alogued, there was no stone there for William.
In 1909 John Miller signed a bill against Lydia’s estate for walnut lumber for her coffi n, $3, and oak lum-ber for coffi n case, $2.
Andrew Bowen and Sar-ah Bowen signed a bill for $10 for “waiting on Lydia Strevel for three weeks in her last illness” – sworn to before Coram Acuff and S. A. Smith, Notary. Bonnie Peters is the Union County his-torian. Reach her at [email protected] or 687-3842.

Chiropractic is one avenue of treatment for something that might be ailing you. One way to minimize the likeli-hood you’ll need to see a chiropractor, or any other medical care provider, is to eat right. Maintain-ing your health is always easier than restoring it. Here are some tips on nutrition from the American Chiropractic Association:
• Consume 25 to 30 grams of fi ber every day. Sources include vegeta-bles, fruits, beans, nuts and whole-grain breads. A high-fi ber diet can help prevent heart disease and colon cancer.
• When possible, choose organically grown foods. They have lower levels of contami-nants like pesticides and
heavy metals.• Eat more raw foods.
Cooking and canning drain much of the nutri-tion from food.
• Other positive life-style changes can also give your health and your overall quality of life a big boost. Exercise for at least 20 minutes four days a week. Quit smoking!
Limit your intake of alcohol. Smoking and drinking, in addition to the other problems those habits can cause, de-crease your body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
Ask your chiropractor for more advice on nutri-tion and lifestyle.

By Libby MorganThe Blessed Teresa of
Calcutta Mission in May-nardville will celebrate changing status from a mis-sion to church, or parish, in a service on Friday, Sept. 5.
The mission is named for Mother Teresa, who died on that date in 1997, and was beatifi ed six years later in a step that could lead to her sainthood.
“This marks our rap-id growth here in Union County,” says Father Steve Pawelk. “Our first public Father Steve Pawelk
Catholic mission to become church
worship was held in my carport in 2011 with 26 people in attendance, and our first Spanish mass was in January of 2012 with 18 people.
“On Aug. 3, we had 105 at our English mass and 115 attending our Spanish Mass. The Catholic Church recognizes that this is here to stay.”
■ Parish fund carnival Aug. 30Blessed Teresa will hold
a carnival 3-8 p.m. Satur-day, Aug. 30, to raise funds to build a church on its property across from Union County High.
The event is open to the public, and plans call for games for all ages, food, fun and a gift basket auction at 6 p.m.

Why does God permit imperfection in His world? Why are babies allowed to be born handicapped? Why do limbs not move, eyes not see, mouths not speak and ears not hear? Why does God allow children to be born with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and spina bifi da? Skeptics and Chris-tians alike struggle with the answers to such questions.
“Where is the perfection of God in view of such im-perfections?”
I don’t pretend to have all the answers to human suf-fering, but I do know there are some things that help me deal with such diffi cult questions. One such aid comes from a change in per-spective.
What if the perfection
y ot t dd d s ssee
Steve Higginbotham
Imperfection in God’s world
God is looking for is in us, not the imperfect bodies of people? What if the greater perfection God desires is in our reaction to people who are imperfect?
How compassionate are you with the affl icted? How patient and understanding are you with their trials? Do they have too many troubles to make getting involved with them worthwhile? Are we inconvenienced and re-sentful of their demands on our time and lifestyle? Are
we annoyed at their pres-ence or, worse, embarrassed by them?
Just maybe the perfec-tion God is looking for is in our Christ-like response to imperfect people. Instead of allowing people born with physical disabilities to shake our faith in God, should we not rather al-low them to challenge us to reach toward Christ-like perfection in our response to these people?
From God’s perspective, the imperfection may not be in the physically and mentally disabled but in a healthy person’s uncompas-sionate response to these individuals.Steve Higginbotham is pulpit minister for the Karns Church of Christ. Info: [email protected]/.

Johnny Myers sees his bridge in Big Ridge get some use by park visitors.
By Libby MorganBig Ridge State Park has
two new features that fi t right in with the rustic en-vironment, and Boy Scout Troop 401 has two new Ea-gle scouts: Johnny Myers and Orrin Warwick.
Myers took on rebuilding a bridge at the beginning of the Lake Trail near the Group Camp for his Eagle project.
“The rangers want to be able to take a four-wheeler on the trails in case of an emergency. There are other footbridges farther in that need to be made acces-sible, and this is the fi rst
one,” says scout master and Johnny’s mom Linda Myers. “We have a long list of ideas for the park our scouts can consider for Eagle projects.”
Johnny planned the proj-ect and was able to reuse quite a bit of the lumber from the old bridge. Some of the funds for new wood came from a grant from Lowe’s.
“There are about 140 hours in the actual work,” he says.
Warwick worked with park rangers on planning a project that would help pro-tect a steep bank between the road and one of the cabins.
His dad, Tommy War-wick, helped harvest trees from the park property (with the rangers’ guidance) and Orrin learned how to split the logs and build a ce-dar split rail fence.
“We planned to make the fence only half this long, but we had enough split wood to put it on two sides of the cabin steps,” says Or-rin. “A split rail fence fi ts in with the park’s natural look and uses traditional meth-ods.”
The two sections are each over 50 feet long and Orrin and his helpers completed the project in December.
Orrin Warwick got a Lincoln-style education while building a split rail fence near the cabins in
Big Ridge. Photos by Libby Morgan

Two become Eagle scouts

By Ruth WhiteGov. Bill Haslam
stopped by Gibbs High School last week to talk with juniors and seniors about Tennessee’s Promise and the great opportunity for students to attend com-munity college or technical school for free. “Many stu-dents would love to attend
college but don’t know how they can,” said Haslam. Tennessee’s Promise helps provide the way.
Participants in the pro-gram will have some respon-sibility, including meeting with a mentor, performing community service, fi lling out necessary forms and attending orientation. The
Both young men are fol-lowing in the footsteps of their older brothers. John-ny’s brother Jerry and Or-rin’s brother Tyler were on
hand at the Eagle Court of Honor when the two new Eagle Scouts received their offi cial recognition.
In September, Troop 401
will host troops from North Knox and Union counties at the park for a Boy Scout Camporee with a woods-man theme.
Gov. Bill Haslam visited Gibbs
High School last week where
students Zack Beeler, Zach
McCormick and Justin Park
asked to take a selfi e with
the governor to post on so-
cial media. Haslam, wearing a
Gibbs High cap, was happy to
oblige. Photo by R. White
The drive to 55 program is designed not just to get students in to college, but to get them through it, too.
Approximately 32.6 per-cent of Tennesseans have a degree or certifi cate, and Haslam hopes to drive that number to 55 percent by the year 2025.
Deadline for this year’s seniors to apply is Nov. 1, 2014. Sign up at www.TNPromise.gov.
