Carol Pratt tells the story of the evolution of the huge hand-paint-ed mural to be unveiled at Horace Maynard Middle School media center:
By Carol PrattThe Union County Arts Council
was approached by Chip Brown of Union County Public Schools to take on a project: Murals in the Shirley Lynn Collins Memorial Media Center at Horace Maynard Middle School.
The Art Council members (Eric and Gloria Holcomb, Shirley Ke-aton, Cindy Taylor, Julie Graham, Betty Bullen, Susan Boone, Neva Kitts, Arlene Sprague, Clay Bones and Carol Pratt) toured the old li-brary at Horace Maynard Middle School.
The brainstorming began. Hor-ace Maynard, for whom the town of Maynardville and the middle school was named, needed to be the start of the mural. We wanted to show the changes from schools then to the present time.
A fi eld trip to Knoxville, where several murals hang in the Knox County Courthouse, the federal building, Fort Sanders Hospital and on Gay Street was planned.
Eric and Gloria Holcomb, Shir-ley Keaton, Betty Bullen and this writer went on the trip. It wasn’t diffi cult until we tried to get into

the federal court house. With much patience and 30 minutes later, we were allowed through security to view the beautiful mu-rals by William Rawson and Bob-bie Crews.
In August, after the materials were ready for the 8-foot x 16-foot mural, Carol put two coats, which represented one gallon, of gesso on the area.
Betty Bullen drew out a sketch of what everyone wanted to in-corporate into the design. Carol suggested starting with an old classroom and ending with a new classroom. Since music is such a big part of Union County and so many talented people come from Maynardville, there needed to be something relating to music. An old typewriter should be added since they are now obsolete. Mod-ern technology with iPads and computers were a must. Materials and references were gathered and a starting date set.
Eric and Gloria Holcomb, along with Carol Pratt, took two days to sketch everything out on the huge canvas. Media specialist Jason Beeler was a big help with getting a projector to connect to Carol’s iPad. The following week Eric, Gloria and Carol put brushes and paint to work.
By Sandra ClarkTrane is proposing a program
of equipment upgrades that could save potentially $319,000 per year for Union County Public Schools.
Nancy McBee presented the concept to the school board last week. “You guys are a little bit out of whack (with re-gional averages),” said McBee.
The school sys-tem’s current util-ity cost per square foot is $1.98, while
the regional average is $1.25, she said. Trane’s ideal target would be 98-cents per square foot.
Through “performance con-tracting,” guaranteed savings from maintenance and operations would offset the money borrowed to make needed upgrades and modernizations. A contract must be approved by both the school board and the county commission.
Trane proposes energy upgrades, savings
Nancy McBee
The school system’s current budget for utilities is $870,000, McBee said. If new equipment can drop the expense to the regional average (a savings of 73-cents per square foot), the savings would be $319,000 per year, a reduction inutility expense of more than 35 percent.
“This reduction would fund a $3.6 million upgrade project when fi nanced over 15 years at 3 percent interest,” said McBee.
She stressed that Trane actually guarantees the savings.
“If the savings are not there, we will issue a check for the differ-ence, so even though the county would take out a bond or munici-pal loan on behalf of the school system, the repayment stream would be 100 percent underwrit-ten by Trane, without investment of tax dollars,” said McBee.
“The school system would ba-sically be reallocating their over-spending on utility expenses to-ward infrastructure upgrades.”
McBee, who grew up on a farm in Corryton, said she totally believes in the project. “Trane doesn’t have a single negative ref-erence in the state of Tennessee for this type of project.”
She asked the school board for a letter of interest before Trane engineers begin the serious work of designing upgrades for all of Union County’s schools.
Board members were generally interested but suggested she pres-ent the idea to Union County Com-mission before anyone proceeds.
Trane is in a multi-year con-tract with Knox County Schools. The company has implemented performance contracting in Clai-borne, Jefferson and Campbell counties as well.
By Libby MorganJerry Isaacs says he gets up in a
fowl mood every day.That’s what happens when
you’re Chicken Man.And, the silly jokes keep comin’.“Why did the chewing gum
cross the road? ’Cuz it was stuck on the chicken’s foot,” says Isaacs.
“I went to the airport and told the lady I wanted a round-trip ticket. She asked me ‘Where to?’ I said, ‘Why, right back here!’
“I’ll tell you how I met my girl-friend. I pulled up beside her at a red light, and I looked over at her and gave her the eye. She gave it
back at me. Then I honked my horn, and she honked back. That’s whatcha call and eye for and eye and a toot for a toot.”
Chicken Man entertained the Luttrell seniors with nicely done songs between jokes. He’s a pro at it, with being on TV in Hollywood and all. Twice.
Back in 1991 he won $3,000 on America’s Funniest People. In 2004, he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where he got to hang out with Leno and Robin Williams.
“Now that Robin Williams is funny,” says Isaacs.

The students were full of questions. It was neat to hear, and enjoyable since Eric and Gloria are retired schoolteachers. Carol stood on chairs and got the sky and mountains blocked in.
Next, Eric worked on the old classroom with the pot-belly stove, students and a dog. The reference material came from a library book about Cumberland Gap. Eric worked on the musical instruments since he is a musician. One of the school janitors mentioned that when he went to school the teacher had a Bible on her desk, so one was added. An ink well was thought about but not added. We wanted a red apple for the teacher, a school bell and later an hourglass.
Shirley Keaton joined in to paint the students in the old classroom. Betty Bullen started on Horace Maynard. Gloria Holcomb helped wherever needed. Carol added Hubbs Grove School and Eric Holcomb painted the school bus Carol had sketched in. This added some color as most of the mural depicting the era was in black and white.
Teacher Sharon Collins came by and mentioned that
Hubbs Grove’s one-room school was the fi rst school where she taught. Carol jok-ingly said, “Sharon, that’s a hint. It’s time to retire.”
Both laughed.Melanie Maples, the
principal at Horace May-nard Middle School, sug-gested we add No. 38 to Eric’s bus since that is the number on her husband’s bus, HMMS security offi -cer Chris Maples. The stu-dents got a kick out of this. Chris’ offi ce is located in the library, and he walks by numerous times daily to give a hello and comment on the mural’s progress. He noticed the bus number and had a chuckle.
Shirley Keaton, a Hor-ace Maynard High School alumni, added a typing class from her old yearbook. Many who came by to see the progress suggested it was Ada Mae Houston, their typing teacher.
Moving into the mod-ern time, we wanted to add a student holding an iPad. You have to have permission to photograph a student. Carol Pratt’s niece, Neilea Hansen, is a 7th grader at HMMS. Permission was re-ceived and Neilea posed for a photograph in the library.
Carol suggested a pair of cowgirl boots with the skirt and blouse since this is a popular style with students now. Many mentioned they loved the boots.
Arlene Sprague had nev-er painted a portrait before and was hesitant. Carol urged her to take it on as a challenge. “We can always change anything that needs correcting.”
This happened numer-ous times. The musicians were put on and then taken off, only to be repositioned. Horace Maynard got a face-lift. This is a common oc-currence in painting, and is one of Carol’s favorite say-ings: “painting is a series of corrections.”
Arlene did a wonder-ful job. Carol suggested we needed something to sepa-rate the musicians from the modern classroom: A ribbon of music. We chose “Rocky Top” as the song, and Arlene took on the project. She re-searched the music and was meticulous about putting the notes in correctly. After Ar-lene blocked in the white rib-bon for the music, she got an e-mail from Carol suggesting we change it. After studying the day’s progress, she saw the ribbon as toilet paper
coming from behind the gui-tar player. Arlene then saw it too, and the next day it was changed. A lot of good laughs were had over that.
Shirley added a tobacco barn and fi eld. These were common sights in Union County. Most people raised tobacco, but it is becoming a thing of the past. Carol added a church since Union County is blessed with many of them.
Moving into the mod-ern era, Carol added Union County High School, since this is where the middle school students will be heading. Below the high school she added the U.S. Capitol since this is where the 8th grade students travel at the end of their middle school years. The Capitol building was giving Carol nightmares, so Arlene Sprague took over and made a beautiful landscape.
Carol drew a modern-day computer classroom and then fi lled it with a stack of Harry Potter library books. She put stacks of Tom Saw-yer books at the beginning of the mural.
Arlene added the Ten-nessee and U.S. fl ags. Bet-ty Bullen added a pocket watch to Horace Maynard’s jacket pocket. Carol added

UNION COUNTYOn November 30
By Cindy TaylorUnion Baptist Church put
the fi nishing touches on its centennial celebration with a homecoming meal on the grounds and a birthday gala for the oldest member.
The church kicked off the anniversary in April with a time capsule burial. Members placed personal and historical church items in the capsule. It will be opened in April 2038.
Frances Carroll received a special tribute during the Oct. 13 service for 72 consec-utive years of faithful mem-bership. Her birthday cel-ebration followed the service.
Carroll was baptized in Bull Run Creek on Nov. 2, 1941. At 85, she is the eldest member at UBC. Her par-ents, Jack and Stella Sharp, were charter members. Car-roll was active in the WMU, organized the food ministry and sang in the choir. She recalled the early days.
“None of us had cars. We would meet and walk to church together. The weath-er didn’t matter.”
The Rev. Gary Vander-griff has served as church pastor for 24 years.
“It has been a very good day,” he said. “We had more than 200 for the service.”

Sometimes the mule doesn’t cooperate. Ask Earl why his nose is a little larg-er than normal this week. He’ll tell you they had a rodeo for a minute. It was touch and go, but they got things straightened out and squeezed gallons and gal-lons of the thin liquid from fresh sorghum stalks.
Then it’s on to the boiling down part. The Bulls built a special permanent furnace for the pan – a long, shal-low, sectioned vessel over a fi re, with the heat channeled along the bottom of the pan and a fl ue out the roof.
It takes a long time to boil the watery juice down to thick syrup, and the liq-uid must be skimmed con-stantly. It leaves lots of time for shootin’ the bull.
While the skimmers have been skimming, Aurora’s
been perfecting her molas-ses cookies. She brings a few of the delicious treats and passes them out to the group.
Blackstrap molasses is heralded as a health food. It is a good source of sev-eral minerals we need that are hard to fi nd in modern diets. In one cookie, we all got a percentage of our daily requirements of calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron.
I feel better already. Thanks, Ginger (Aurora).
■ Blue’s cookin’ daily in LuttrellFor years, the little store
on Hwy 131 just out of Lut-trell going toward Washburn has been referred to as “The Blue Store,” even though that was never its name.
Until now.“I’ll tell you how that hap-
pened. The guy that had this place had a 55-gallon drum of blue paint. So he painted his house – the house is gone now – and this building – all blue,” says current store co-owner Todd Johnson.
His wife, the other owner, Virgie Johnson, says, “Since that’s what everybody al-ways called it, we named it ‘The Blue Store.’ Why not?”
Todd, a cabinetmaker by trade, works mostly in his woodshop and is The Blue
Store’s maintenance man.So, how’s business in a
little place way off by itself on a wide place in the road?
“It’s real steady. We sell a lot of lunches to the people from the mine (Carmeuse is a few hundred feet up the road) and we’ve got snacks and cold drinks that are handy to the neighbors,” says Virgie.
She and her daughter, Emily Acuff, serve food from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (ex-cept Sundays) in the addi-tion the family built on to the tiny store, doubling the size and providing room for a big kitchen, storage and a restroom.
They must be doing ev-erything right to keep the place clean and food han-dled properly, because in a recent report on health in-spection grades, The Blue Store was listed on Don
Dare’s Food for Thought column for being given a “real high” score of 99.
Virgie, Emily and Vir-gie’s sister Patricia Kincaid prepare the deli staples: sandwiches (including fried bologna), hamburgers and fries, hot dogs, corn dogs, subs, salads and sides. A corn dog will cost you less than a dollar, and the menu prices top out at less than six dollars for the “Big Blue Burger” with bacon and cheese.
“We make everything to order. We serve walk-ins and we take call-in orders,” says Virgie.
There’s a couple of cute little two-seater tables by the window. And outside on a pretty day you can count on seeing random friends and neighbors congregating.

Superintendent Dr. Jim-my Carter plans a trip to Nashville to advocate with state Education Commis-sioner Kevin Huffman for retention of the Virtual Academy. And why wouldn’t he? The program brings about $500,000 annually to Union County Public Schools, and Carter’s school board voted unanimously for a 3-year renewal at its recent meeting.
When you listen to teach-ers and staff of the Virtual Academy, it’s easy to say, “Give them a chance.”

Virtual Academy is bad public policy
the skinny kid who was bul-lied, or the fi fth grader who couldn’t read.
But when you walk away, you remember that we’re talking about a huge chunk of tax dollars here. At $5,000 per student and 2,800 enrolled, the Virgin-ia-based K12 Inc. is raking in $14 million a year – may-be more as the year wears on and more students opt
out of regular school. The Virtual Academy diverts state per-pupil funding from public schools, and it serves only grades K-8.
Union County Public Schools administers the program, retaining four percent of revenue. Josh Williams is the principal. Kids enroll and receive in-
struction online.K12 offi cials talked to the
school board in October. County Commissioner Mike Sexton showed up to claim pride that in this one thing, Union County is fi rst.
State Rep. Harry Brooks (R-Knox County) sponsored the law that enables the Virtual Academy to take a
full share of state funding for students it enrolls. Test scores are no better for Vir-tual Academy students than for regular Union County pupils. Williams said im-provements are ahead.
The law is bad public pol-icy. It shou ld be undone.
■ A home for Marilyn ToppinsMarilyn Toppins has re-
tired from teaching and therefore must step down from the PECCA (Profes-sional Educators Collabora-tive Conferencing Act) com-mittee that negotiates for teachers. That’s the verdict from the school board and Superintendent Carter.
Carolyn Murr, head of the Union County Education Association, fi nally agreed to accept the appointments of other committee mem-bers and “let the lawyers talk” about Toppins.
The school board’s law-yer, Mary Ann Stackhouse, was present at the school board meeting. “Since state
law says the (committee) cannot include a retired teacher, it is my view there is a vacancy,” she said.
Murr wants to keep her team intact, including Top-pins, and said attorneys with the Tennessee Educa-tion Association say she can stay.
■ Social studies textbooksCarter appointed a com-
mittee for social studies textbook adoption:

Bonnie’s persimmon predictions
Bonnie Peters
My classmate Irene Walker Nelson’s family owns Walton View Farms so that was my fi rst stop. They always have a splendid va-riety of pumpkins, gourds, squash and other fall prod-
ucts. Sales had already been contracted for anything left from the festival.
They not only can grow things, they know how to market.
One of the people at the Walton display told me I re-ally should stop by and talk with the “man by the tent.” He told me the man lived in a tipi in the mountains – lived off the land.
With a break from the authors’ tent, I made my way up the hill. An older man with a long beard was sitting there and looked the part. Being the bashful soul that I am, I approached him and said, “The people over at Walton View Farms said I
ought to come over and talk with you.
He replied, “I don’t know why, but I’ll be glad to talk with you.” I proceeded to tell him that I understood he lived in a tipi in the moun-tains, lived off the land and did his own cooking.
No, he lived in a log house in Hardin Valley, and he didn’t cook – his wife did. I soon decided I’d struck out and went back to the authors’ tent. An hour or so later I looked by the tent again and there was the mountain man.
Back up the hill I went. I asked, “Are you the per-son who lives in a tipi in the mountains?”
“Yes, I’m Justin Burke. I live in a 20x20 ft. tipi at Boone, N.C.” He had bought his winter’s supply of cush-aw, pumpkin, butternut squash, etc. at Walton’s.
His tipi accommodates a
wood stove and his lighting is an oil lamp. He said he has a minimum of cook pots and skillets. He doesn’t own a Dutch oven. He had once cooked a coyote at the re-quest of the park service. He is a young, self-employed blacksmith, bark basket maker, leather worker and knife sharpener.
Jim Clayborn, who had stopped by to visit with Jus-tin and his grandmother who came over with him, says Burke is a better knife sharpener than 80-year-olds who have sharpened knives for 60 plus years. Justin uses a diamond hone. He teaches classes in black-smithing, bark baskets and leather working at the John C. Campbell Folk School near Boone, N.C. Justin is indeed an interesting and gifted young man who is gaining worldwide recogni-tion. Fifteen foreign coun-tries were represented at the Homecoming.
I learned that the gen-tleman of a certain age I
had spoken with earlier isJim Stafford who is fondlyknown as the “Mayor ofHardin Valley. He saw anempty chair and had takenadvantage of it for a littlewhile until Justin returned.
■ 2013 Persimmon Weather PredictorI was asked by several at
the homecoming what thepersimmons were sayingabout the coming winter. Ihad to say I didn’t have anypersimmons on my treesthis year, so Ellen Perrybrought me some.
First, these persimmons were much larger than usu-al, but the seeds were muchsmaller than I can remem-ber seeing before. I cut openseveral seeds and only onehad the imprint of a spoon(mild winter). The othershad a knife (hard, cold, icywinter).
I don’t know about the persimmons, but, if thismorning’s frost on my roof isany indication, we’re in for ahumdinger.

What a diff erence a year makesMissouri, SEC East leader,
is the surprise of the season.
Marvin West
At the end of 2012, there was talk of fi ring the coach of the Tigers, Gary Robin Pinkel. He was said to be distant, distressed, dis-tracted, discombobulated and disengaged.
(All those words came directly from the famous school of journalism at Co-lumbia, Mo.)
Everything that could go
wrong had or was. Pinkel and critics were staring at the leftover shadow of a se-rious driving violation, an expensive divorce after 40 years of marriage, entirely too many Tiger injuries and a terrible experience (42-0 at halftime) at Texas A&M.
In retrospect, Derek Dooley and Tyler Bray prob-ably preserved Pinkel as we know him – in the fourth overtime at beautiful Ney-land Stadium.
That bad last year ended with monumental unrest at Missouri. Fans, spoiled by success, wanted immediate change. Pinkel emphatically declared his stuff would work. Athletic director Mike Alden responded with fi rm words like “urgency” and
“accountability.”What difference does
a year make? Pinkel has vaulted from 5-7 and job jeopardy to a nomination for coach of the year, from hot seat to hot attraction, suddenly blessed with fresh intensity and positive en-ergy.
Better beware, Tennes-see.
Missouri has endured fewer injuries than before but is again without star quarterback James Frank-lin. Pinkel’s solution creates an interesting comparison.
If all redshirt freshman quarterbacks were created equal, development is un-doubtedly the difference we see. Case in point: Nathan Peterman and Maty Mauk.
Nathan was the victim of Butch Jones’ failed experi-ment at Florida. He was the Tennessee brick that broke.
Mauk was plug and play at Missouri. When Franklin went down against Georgia, Mauk looked surprisingly comfortable as the emer-gency replacement.
A week later, Mauk di-rected a victory over Flori-da. OK, those were not ex-actly the same Gators who ate Peterman alive. And, perhaps the Missouri offen-sive line did better in sup-port of Mauk than did the highly regarded Volunteers on behalf of Peterman.
(It is highly unlikely that both lines are the best in the Southeastern Conference).
The difference in red-
shirt freshman quarter-backs goes back to high school. Mauk was a Parade All-American and two-time Gatorade Player of the Year at Kenton, Ohio. He broke national prep career records for passing yards, comple-tions, touchdowns and total offense.
Mauk’s senior stats were awesome: 5,413 passing yards and 68 touchdowns, 1,768 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns. It seems the numbers mattered.
His father was his high school coach. The dad al-lowed the son to keep play-ing in his fi nal home game, a 74-22 rout. Mauk fi nished the evening 27-for-29 for 505 yards and nine touch-downs!

A tardy autumn
It seems to me that au-tumn is late this year.
I may be wrong about that, but I have been watching the ridges and the mountains for color, and it has been only in the last week that I have seen Mother Nature putting on her truly gaudy clothes. Oh, there have been hints and a few promising trees, but no take-your-breath-away views. She is being a tease,
I think.I was supposed to be an
October baby, and Daddy took Mother to the hospital on Halloween night (spare me the witch jokes, please) but I missed an October birthday by one day. Even so, October is my favorite month. I love the cooler air, the blue skies, the turning trees.
On the drive home the other night after a visit to
my daughter Jordan in At-lanta, I watched the moon-rise over the mountains. It was a waning moon, and I was startled to realize I had missed the October full moon in the bright lights of the city.
Only now that October is almost over, and the har-vest moon of the Cherokee is waning, I see at last the warm plaid on the moun-tains, the gold and scar-let and orange against the faithful evergreens. I think we are blessed to live in this part of the world, where there are four distinct sea-
sons. That is something you probably already know about me, since I have been known to go on and on about the fi rst daffodil, or the fi rst sandal day, the fi rst wood fi re, the fi rst snowfall.
Maybe, to be perfectly honest, I love the four sea-sons because change keeps life interesting and enter-taining.
About this time every year, I also ponder the
imagination of our Creator who thought up praying mantises and Beluga whales and Irish setters, as well as mastodons and kitty cats and hippopotami. While God was creating, He also got busy and gave us stars and comets and rainbows, as well as bald eagles and cardinals and humming-birds, red maple trees and dark fi rs and majestic oaks, each one a joy to behold. So
I would surmise that God loves variety as much as I do.
The poet Cecil Frances Alexander goes on in her poem to rejoice in the fact that
“God gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell
How great is God Al-mighty, who has made all things well.”
Consider it done.
Peterman, Florida 6-A player of the year, threw for 2,972 yards and 35 touchdowns as a senior at Bartram Trail High in St. Johns. He ran for 319 yards and fi ve touchdowns. Na-than’s dad is a pastor.
Missouri beat Michi-gan, Notre Dame, Illinois, Vanderbilt and Cincinnati for Mauk’s signature and services.
Nathan was thinking Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and Cincinnati before Ten-nessee offered a scholar-ship. Indeed, Coach Jones had been vigorously recruit-ing Peterman and Mauk for the Bearcats. Maty’s brother Ben played at Cincinnati.
Peterman, recovering from a fractured hand, does not project as a Saturday factor. Mauk is the young man for the Vols to beat.Marvin West invites reader reactions. His

Babes: Norma Richardson &

The fi rst thing one of the Bazaar Babes wanted to know was why they hadn’t seen John R. McCloud’s pic-ture in the Shopper lately.
“That is bizarre,” I thought.
But I said, “He’s been banned for at least a year due to overexposure.”
Yes, for the 21st year, the Christ United Methodist Church Bazaar Babes are at it again. This year’s church bazaar is 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Bazaar Babes at it againSaturday, Oct. 26.
Items will include Christ-mas (and other) crafts, baked goods, white elephants, pe-cans and Rada knives.
Head Bazaar Babe Norma Richardson says the bazaar will also feature a country store, and breakfast and lunch will be served.
Christ UMC is located at 7535 Maynardville Hwy. near the entrance to Temple Acres.

UNION COUNTY SERVICE GUIDE
It’s been going on for some 10 years now, the inclusion of chiropractic care at Cancer Treat-ment Centers of America (CTCA), a pioneering or-ganization in the integra-tive treatment of cancer patients. At CTCA’s fi ve regional hospitals, doc-tors of chiropractic work alongside oncologists and surgeons to help provide comprehensive support for cancer patients. This relationship was the cover story in the August 2013 edition of ACA News, the monthly magazine of the
American Chiropractic Association.
At CTCA’s fi ve regional hospitals, doctors of chi-ropractic work on teams alongside oncologists and surgeons to support cancer patients as they go through their treatment. As men-tioned in the article writ-ten by Lori A. Burkhart, a chiropractic adjustment on a patient with a neck problem might, 15 minutes later, allow that patient to get into a certain position required for a radiation treatment. According to Jeffrey Sklar, DC, Eastern
regional director in the department of chiroprac-tic at CTCA, “we are not treating cancer, we are treating patients with cancer; it is whole-person care. And that is what got me turned on about chiropractic to begin with.” Chiropractic treat-ment should be part of your overall health plan, as well.

Rated A+
By Libby MorganHow could anyone
choose their favorite scent out of 335 options?
Do you go with a baked goods aroma? Fruity? Earthy? Herbal? How about a real leather scent for your vehicle? (They’ll think your car is done in rich, custom leather that only looks like vinyl.)
A visit to Tinker’s Trin-kets, Marie Wood’s work-shop at the intersection of Maynardville Hwy. and Beard Valley, is a visit to a wonderland of scents.
“In 2010, I decided to start my own business. I be-gan with my workshop in a small bedroom, outgrew it, moved to the garage, and then to my shop in May-nardville a year ago. I have plenty of room now,” says Wood.
“I’m picky about the quality of my oils,” she says as she pours little “tarts,” her specialty item. They do triple duty as scent-produc-ers at room temp, or you can kick up the volume by heating them in decorative warmers. Most can also be used as a skin moisturizer.

By Libby MorganElizabeth Tindell won
the grand prize of $100 in the pie baking contest at the Heritage Festival with a buttermilk pie.
Becca Hughes, Union County Extension agent, says several people have asked about the pie, and Tindell has shared her story and the recipe.
“When I decided to do the contest I got out my 91-year-old Granddad’s rec-ipe box and looked for the most used pie recipe, know-ing that if it was well used by him it must be good. And the buttermilk pie recipe card was so used and dirty that it’s hard to see some of the ingredients, so I fi gured I should use it.
“He lives in assisted liv-ing now, but was pleased that I am still using his reci-pes,” says Tindell.
So here it is:
Granddaddy’s Butter-milk Pie
½ cup sugar3 eggs½ cup real butter½ cup buttermilk1 Tbsp. self rising fl our1 tsp. vanilla
Cream butter until soft and beat in sugar. Add eggs and mix until well blended. Add fl our and vanilla, beat until smooth. Stir in but-termilk. Pour into prepared pie shell and bake at 350 degrees approximately one hour or until set.
Homemade Pie Crust2-1/4 cups all-purpose fl our¾ tsp. salt2 Tbsp. sugar½ cup shortening2 Tbsp. cold butter5-6 Tbsp. cold water
Mix all dry ingredients in mixer, cut in shortening and butter and mix until you have small pieces of short-ening and butter. Add water slowly and mix until the pie shell starts to hold together. (May not need all the water.)
Roll into ball, wrap in plastic wrap and let chill 30 minutes. Roll out and shape in pie pan and bake accord-ing to recipe. When the pie is done baking, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Enjoy!

fresheners, these tarts, sa-chet bags, hand sanitizer, bath salts, salt scrubs, all with what I call ‘Truly Triple Scents.’ I have perfected my methods and gotten lots of followers, or repeat custom-ers, by taking my tables to fl ea markets and such. Now they come fi nd me. I’m still doing some events and I’ll go to more during the holi-day season.”
The name, Tinker’s Trin-kets, came from a childhood memory. Her grandfather’s nickname for her was “Tin-ker,” and she was told more than once, “Get out of your grandma’s trinkets!”
