Pratt , others honored

By Libby MorganThere could be no worthier

candidate for recognition of vol-unteerism in Union County than Carol Pratt. She’s everywhere – working, planning, attending meetings, contacting people and encouraging others with a con-stant smile and limitless opti-mism.

At the Chamber banquet, Pratt was given the Governor’s Volun-teer Star Award by Dr. Jimmy Carter, director of schools and Chamber board member.

The Star awards recognize out-standing volunteers from each of Tennessee’s 95 counties. With the program now in its fi fth year, par-ticipating counties conduct a call for nominations and name one youth and one adult volunteer.

In March, the award recipients are invited to Nashville for a dinner and ceremony.

Pratt is a board mem-ber and secretary of Union County ICare. She serves on the board of the newly-formed Union County Arts Council, and chairs this year’s Art on Main event upcoming on June 7.

She gave hundreds of hours of planning and painting this past year to the Horace Maynard Mid-dle School mural for the new me-dia center.

For years, she’s been on the “job” for weeks every year for the Union County Children’s Charities Christmas giving program, newly named Under the Tree.

With her group, the Big Ridge FCE Club, she heads up their an-nual fundraiser of feeding the masses at the Big Ridge State Park Bluegrass Festival.

In earlier years, she chaired the Maynardville Elementary and Wilson Park playground proj-ects, she’s been a 4-H leader, she’s served on the county’s conserva-

tion board, Paulette Volunteer Fire Department auxiliary, UC Children’s Center advisory board, the library board, Douglas Chero-kee Headstart policy council and the Douglas Cherokee Clinch/Powell board.

Again … she’s everywhere.O’Neill Bergeron received

the youth Star award, which was accepted by his father, O. J. Bergeron. O’Neill spent a good part of the summer exploring and

recording the natural features of the trails in Big Ridge State Park in an affi liation with park rang-ers and a senior 4-H group that is mapping the trails.

Union County’s third annual STP award went to Mayme Taylor. Based on recognizing philanthro-py, the name “STP” has several explanations.

By Libby MorganMaynardville Public Li-

brary’s energetic director, Chantay Collins, brought home fi ve awards from the Tennes-see State Library and Archives 2014 Summer Reading Confer-ence held at Montgomery Bell State Park in Middle Tennes-see.

She was asked to show the attendees the creative crafts and projects she does with her younger visitors, and won awards for Conference Favorite for an “I Spy Bottle,” Best Ex-plosion for a “Glitter Volcano,” Best Teen Craft for a “Pop Top Bracelet,” Best Projectile for a

“CD Hovercraft” made from a CD and a balloon, and Best Teen Craft for “Recycled Electronics Robots.”

The Thursday Teens group has recently been taking apart all sorts of electronic equip-ment and creating robots from the pieces.

“We can use any and all old computers, VCRs, any electron-ics for this project. The kids love it,” says Collins. “We could use more screwdrivers, too.”

Chantay excels again

the Union County Chamber of Com-merce banquet, Betty Bean was there to get this story for the Shopper’s se-ries, “Where the Jobs Are.”)

PetSafe is a different kind of company with a different kind of management philosophy, and the difference is obvious to visitors who walk in the door. Employees, who are called associates, are al-lowed – even encouraged – to bring their dogs to work. And the boss doesn’t have an offi ce.

Or, as founder and CEO Randy Boyd prefers to describe the work environment at 10427 PetSafe Way, he has a great big offi ce:

“Actually, we only have an open area. I like to tell people that I maintain an of-

fi ce of 6,000-10,00 square feet; however, I do share it with my as-sociates, and I move my desk to a different department every year. Before the state job, my desk was in the Customer Care area.”

It began as the “Drive to 55” proposition to increase the num-ber of the state’s college graduates to 55 percent by 2025, and evolved into a plan to offer high school graduates two years of commu-

nity college at no cost. Haslam unveiled Boyd’s plan during his recent State of the State address.)

PetSafe’s parent company, Ra-dio Systems Corporation, also owns Invisible Fence Brand (the world’s leading wireless fencing), SportDOG Brand (the leader in training equipment for sporting

By Sandra ClarkState Rep. Roger Kane,

a fi rst-term legislator from Karns, is tremendously ex-cited about WS Packaging Group expanding to West-bridge Business Park. The company plans an invest-ment of $43 million over two years and the creation of 231 new jobs.

“The company plans to begin initial hiring in March and April,” Kane said. “Peo-ple interested in applying for one of these new jobs can visit www.jobs4tn.gov or inquire at the Tennessee Career Center at Knoxville.” The company will post jobs at www.wspackaging.com/.

WS Packaging Group Inc. will consolidate production from fi ve separate facili-ties to a single site at West-bridge, according to a com-pany release. The expansion includes moving produc-tion from four buildings in Knoxville (68 employees in 45,120 sq. ft.), and one building in Powell (44 em-

The $43 million invest-ment over the next two years will involve adding new equipment that will enable the company to increase production of digital label printing, fl exographic print-ing, digital offset printing and sheet-fed offset print-ing.

The new facility is the former site of Robert Bosch PBR brake caliper opera-tions and is being leased from Hand Partnership L.P. The $43 million invest-ment includes a $1.2 million funding FastTrack Grant from the Tennessee De-partment of Economic and Community Development, Kane said.

WS Packaging Group Inc. is one of the largest la-bel converting operations in North America with 21 manufacturing facilities and

more than 1,800 employees. The move to the new Knox-ville facility is expected to begin in April 2014 and be completed by July 2014.

■ Wolfe cited for homecare advocacyFountain City business

owner Randy Wolfe was honored Jan. 23 in Nashville for his service and commit-ment to advancing homecare issues in Tennessee.

Wolfe, owner of Lam-bert’s Health Care, received the 2014 Home Medical Equipment Advocate award from Tennessee Association for Home Oxygen & Medical Equipment Services, a trade association that represents approximately 80 health care companies in Tennes-see.

“People want to be able to remain in their homes, with their loved ones, and involved in the community. Homecare makes this pos-

some 650 employees, 350 in Knox County. Additionally, there are 30-40 employees in Virginia, 40-50 in Ohio, 100 in China, 30 in Ireland, 15 in Australia and three in Japan, with offi ces in seven countries. Employees can apply for jobs overseas, Boyd said.

“One of the things we do is allow associates to relo-cate to other locations.”

Boyd, who graduated from the University of Ten-nessee at 19, was always in a hurry. He learned his work ethic from his parents, Tom and Dale Boyd, and his fi rst job was working for his fa-ther’s electric fence business for $1 an hour when he was 8-years-old. He founded his own electric fence company

in 1991, and says he couldn’t have imagined how it would grow.

“I always dream big, but it’s defi nitely gone in direc-tions that I didn’t expect, and d i r e s t i o n s that I’m very proud and happy about. We have focused less on electron-ics and more on pets, I’m and happy that we are. And the scope of giving back to our community has exceed-ed anything I could have imagined.”

The fi rst step to applying for employment at PetSafe is to prepare a resume and go to http://www.petsafe.

net/about-us/working-at-petsafe for instructions.

And Boyd has a hint forapplicants: the CustomerCare department offers im-

portant entry-levelopportunities with

the potentialfor advance-ment.

“We loveto have great

candidates in thewings to take new

positions Most of our jobsare things two years ago Iwouldn’t have dreamed wewould need. Five years ago,a team of software engi-neers wasn’t on my radar,”Boyd said.

More than 40 items auctioned at the end of the Chamber banquet put $4,000 in the coffers of the Union County Community Foundation.

By Libby MorganRepresentatives from

service agencies for Union County held a “Meet and Greet” at the UC Children’s Center to get to know one another and discuss com-mon challenges and oppor-tunities.

“There is no Community Advisory Board in Union County at this time, and

we hope this gathering will give rise to one,” says Robyn Witherspoon, Tennessee Department of Children’s Services team leader.

“The agencies repre-sented here are central to the services available in the county to families, and are part of a multi-level response system to pre-vent harm to children and

strengthen families.”“We hope to connect with

anyone in the community who wants to make a differ-ence in the lives of families here, and invite them to join us in forming an active CAB in Union County.”

Foundation nets $4K at auction

Many items sold for well over their value, with pro-fessional auctioneer Rick Rutherford, Foundation co-chair Eddie Perry and Claudia Tillman urging the crowd to keep bidding, “for a wonderful cause.”

Tillman, a singer and ac-tor, attended the event with her husband, Andy, who is campaigning for chancellor, and an evening with her was the fi nal item up for bid.

She hammed it up and drove the bids up to $400, and the next-to-last bidder, Mike McClamroch, CEO of the East Tennessee Founda-tion, agreed to buy a second evening with Tillman, dou-bling the take for Tillman’s generous offer to entertain.

The UCCF has been building its fund and giving grants to the community since 2011.

“Acoustic Music Ses-sions” will be held from 3-5 p.m. every Wednesday at the gallery on Main Street in Maynardville.

“There are lots of oppor-tunities to join informal jams in the community,” says Holcomb. Jam sessions are 2-5 p.m. Sunday after-noon at the Union County Museum, Monday evenings at the Paulette Volunteer Fire Department on Hwy. 61, and each fourth Satur-day at Rush Strong School in Sharps Chapel.”

“I’ve got negatives of ev-ery wedding I ever shot, and I want to let my clients know they are available for a nom-inal fee,” he says.

“Images on display will age or get damaged or lost, but the negatives can be put in safekeeping for de-cades. Unless I am able to pass these on to the sub-jects in the photos, these negatives will be shredded later this year to protect my clients’ privacy.”

“Well, it’s been called the Steve Thompson Phil-anthropic award,” say Steve Thompson, Maynardville business owner and founder of the award, “and it’s also fondly known as the “Same Ten People” award.

“That’s because with any volunteer project, there are usually about 10 talented, giving individuals who share

responsibilities to get it done. Originally, ‘STP’ started out as an acronym for ‘Steve Thompson Principles.’”

Sunset Bay was honored with the STP business award.

Preservation toolbox at Oak GroveInterested people are in-

vited to join Preservation Union County in a learning session.

On Wednesday, Feb. 19, Ethiel Garlington will lead a workshop at Oak Grove School on ways to restore double-hung wood win-dows.

Garlington is the direc-tor of preservation fi eld ser-vices for Knox Heritage and the East Tennessee Preser-vation Alliance. In that role,

he serves 16 counties in the region and works with volunteers to save historic places. Retaining and re-storing historic wood win-dows is one of the most im-portant preservation issues.

The 20 wood six-on-six windows at the historic Oak Grove School were removed last fall and teams of volun-teers including TVA retir-ees, members of Preserva-tion Union County and local volunteers have scraped, sanded and painted the windows.

Much of the glass was replaced. The windows also had to be repointed and glazed. Missing muntins were sawn by TVA retiree Bob Defendorfer and were replaced by Dennis John-

son.Workday Mondays were

held during October, No-vember and early Decem-ber until the weather said “Stop!”

Now, weather permitting, join us to learn the proper way to install these restored double-hung windows. The temperature needs to be 50 degrees or above, and it needs to be dry because of heat and light issues.

If you plan to participate, please call Bonnie Peters at 687-3842 so that I can no-tify you in case the work-shop has to be rescheduled because of weather. This hands-on session will be from 1-4 p.m. Wednes-day, Feb. 19, at Oak Grove School.

Workers inspect the double-hung wooden windows in the Oak Grove School in Sharps Chapel.

The school is being restored by volunteers through Preservation Union County.

Commission approves sheriff ’s carsSheriff Earl Loy Jr. has

more friends on the full County Commission than he has at the Budget and Finance Committee. That’s the best conclusion to draw from the ease with which the Union County Sheriff’s Offi ce got approval to pur-chase four new Ford SUVs at the commission’s Feb. 10 meeting.

Or maybe commission-ers just got tired of haggling about it.

The commission voted to borrow the money from New South Credit Union at 1.99 percent interest for three years and repay from budgeted funds over the next two fi scal years.

Loy’s offi ce already has purchased two used SUVs from this year’s budget, giv-ing the department six new-to-them vehicles, all capable of moving through snow.

Fully equipped, the new vehicles will cost just over $30,000 each.

■ Hallmark Cedar Apartments and Hall-mark Stonegate apartments will be getting a $2 million each upgrade, based on in-formation given to commis-sioners. No public funding is involved.

■ Twisted Gables:

A lingering problem was laid to rest with the com-mission’s acceptance of a settlement of $5,000 and back taxes to release a lien against property in Twisted Gables subdivision where the county had cleared a burned house. The property was sold at auction.

■ Meth: The commis-sion approved a resolu-tion to support SB 179 in the state Legislature, a bill to require that drugs with ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine be dispensed by prescription only. This re-quest was brought by Aaron Russell of Stand in the Gap Coalition.

■ Performance payThe specter of perfor-

mance-based pay, which has created dissension in counties such as Knox, is coming to Union County. The state is mandating it.

Dr. Jimmy Carter will outline a preliminary plan

at the school board workshop 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20. The regular monthly meeting will follow the workshop, all at the Union County High School auditorium.

When President Obama touched down in Nashville, he went out to McGavock High School, which has been redesigned as a model school. His message:

“A quality education shouldn’t be something that other kids get. It should be something that all our kids get.”

Amen, right?Obama was clearly im-

pressed with McGavock High, but would he send his daughters there?

Probably not.The website TNParents.

It was Tennessee Ernie Ford who introduced the old hymn “Precious Memories” to me, in one of his many recordings. My mother was, and is, a fan of that warm baritone, and his staunch insistence that each of his weekly television shows end with a hymn.

Ernest Jennings Ford was born in Bristol, on the Tennessee side, and grew up singing in the Methodist Church there. He did some radio in Knoxville then dis-appeared from the scene for a while. He turned up again, singing the title song in the movie “The River of

This is basketball rocket science 101. Please set aside a block of time to study and analyze.

Synopsis 1: Most teams can win when everything they throw toward the goal falls in.

Synopsis 2: Good teams win even when they don’t shoot well.

Premise: Tennessee is not a good team.

Any day now, coach Cu-onzo Martin expects to fi nd the solution. He thinks in-

consistency is the primary problem.

He has told the Volun-teers that even if their shots aren’t falling, they must remain committed to the other elements of the game, give good effort, run and jump, defend as if your life depends on it, fi ght for re-bounds, value each posses-sion, protect the ball.

Doing all that is just a matter of focus, effort, in-tensity, toughness. That sounds very simple but it must be quite complicated. Why else would a mature team fail to get it?

These Vols are madden-ing. Some games (at home against Florida) they play with passion. Other times they are hard to watch.

Some nights they come

charging out the gate as if to strangle opponents, 10-0 jump start, bang, you’re fi n-ished.

Other nights, they come strolling along on their way to a picnic and get slower as they go. They lose to Texas A&M.

Either way, high octane or just coasting, the coach can’t explain it.

“Your guess is as good as mine,” he said.

That is scary.Martin is not big on

fl ame-throwing pep talks, spiced with colorful adjec-tives. He thinks all players should show up ready to play. He was. He thinks the desire to win should be built in. There are so few games guaranteed, just four sea-sons, to do the best you can

to make marvelous memo-ries.

This may be the most talent Cuonzo Martin ever has in his coaching ca-reer. That it would fall so far below expectations is confusing. Was the fore-cast f lawed? Southeastern Conference contender. No more of that hand-wring-ing NCAA bubble stuff. No more excuses.

We thought Antonio Bar-ton was the answer at point guard. He isn’t. We thought Jeronne Maymon had over-come injuries and ailments and would be what he once was. He is a gladiator but he’s lost some quickness and explosion.

Jarnell Stokes is a dou-ble-double. We thought he had developed a jump shot.

Not yet. We were certain Robert Hubbs III, fi ve-star recruit, would make a big difference. There are bril-liant freshmen all across America. Didn’t happen here.

Some games, Jordan McRae is the best offensive player in the league and one of the best in the country. Going 1-for-15 is inexpli-cable.

Darius Thompson is of-ten a precise system en-gineer. Alas, he doesn’t shoot and can’t guard good guards. Others have that problem.

Armani Moore is a hustle guy. Some games, he has been used as the fast fuse to ignite listless teammates. Strangely enough, some games he doesn’t play.

Nobody said Tennessee was a championship team. Syracuse has better players. So do 10 or 15 other teams. Two play in the Southeast-ern Conference.

Nobody is saying this season is over. There is still a way to break into the tour-nament but it will require a change. Even if shooting forever fl uctuates, every-thing else must become de-pendable.

This is the frantic time of year. If this veteran team does not get it together, Ten-nessee basketball will need life support – and a mask for empty seats at Thomp-son-Boling. That is not good. Old, black curtains are so ugly.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com

Basketball must be part rocket science

Precious memoriesGreat is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and

his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will de-clare thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

(Psalm 145: 3-7 KJV)

Precious Memories, how they linger,How they ever fl ood my soul.In the stillness of the midnight,Precious sacred scenes unfold.

(“Precious Memories,” J.B.F. Wright)

No Return.” My family saw it at a drive-in, back when drive-ins were still respect-able places for a family with small children to see a mov-ie. When the soundtrack started, Mother exclaimed, “That’s Tennessee Ernie!” Daddy said, “No, it couldn’t be.” But Mother insisted, and the fi nal credits proved her right.

“Sixteen Tons” followed soon after, and not long after that, Mr. Ford had a weekly television show. His trademark was that he ended each show by singing a hymn. “Those who know best” in the entertainment industry warned him not to do it: that it would not be received well by the televi-

sion audience. It was Ernie’s show, however, and he loved the old hymns, and he was, by golly, going to sing one every week.

The audience – both in the studio and at home – loved it.

It was later that he start-ed making records, and several of those were collec-tions of hymns: standards, old-time favorites, spiritu-als – he did them all. When his recording of “Precious Memories” came out, it was a new hymn to me, but my mother remembered her fa-ther and mother singing it in church.

Interestingly, the com-poser of that old hymn was a Tennessean also: J.B.F. Wright, born Feb. 21, 1877. (I had chosen this subject for this week’s column be-fore I knew that the com-poser’s birthdate was this week: happenstance? coin-cidence? Kismet?

Interestingly, these days

I can’t remember what was on my grocery list because I didn’t remember to take the list with me to the store!

But when I woke up with the song “Memories, light the corners of my mind, misty water color memories of the way we were” run-ning in my head, I knew that “Precious Memories” was where this column was headed. And, like the folk songs I learned in high school, which I can still sing in their entirety, these are

precious memories, laid down in the bedrock of my memory, far below and stur-dier than more recent lyrics or events.

A wise man said that the only Scripture available to you when you most need it is what you carry in your head. The same is true of your hymnody. It is wise to tuck away some powerful verses from the Bible and a few sturdy hymns to get you through!

HISTORY AND MYSTERIES | Dr. Jim Tumblin

Before there was Andrew Lloyd Webber, there was Victor Herbert, Fritz Kre-isler, Rudolph Friml and Manuel Penella.

Before “Evita” and “The Phantom of the Opera,” there were operettas like “Glorianna,” “Apple Blos-soms,” “Princess Pat,” “Irene” and “The Wildcat.”

And, before there were stars like Elaine Paige and Madonna (“Evita”) and Emmy Rossum and Sarah Lawrence (“The Phan-tom of the Opera”), there was Lillian McMillan (also known as Dorothy South), who starred in lead roles on Broadway and made several international tours. Lillian (1884-1964) had dreamed of the stage and, in her early 20s, left East Tennessee to pursue her dream in Boston and New York.

Lillian McMillan was born in the Beverly section of Fountain City on June 20, 1884, the daughter of Thom-as T. McMillan (1857-1925), a wholesale grocer living on Tazewell Pike, and Mamie Heavener McMillan (1861-1923). Their Folk Queen Anne mansion was just east of the palatial homes and horse farms of Judge A.C. Grimm, longtime Cir-cuit Court judge, and Sol H. George, owner of George’s Department Store on Gay Street and partner in the Fountain Head Hotel and the Fountain Head Railroad.

Lillian came of age in Knoxville when Peter Staub’s 2,000-seat theater was fea-turing symphonies from Bos-ton and New York and stars like the Barrymores, Sarah Bernhardt, James O’Neill and George M. Cohan.

Although the movie musical would not arrive until Warner’s release of “The Jazz Singer” in 1927, nascent silent fi lms were reaching Knoxville and may also have ignited the fl ame that propelled Lillian into a career on the stage.

She left home in 1904 to study with William Whit-ney, famous Boston voice coach, before launching her professional theatri-cal career in 1915, adopting Dorothy South as her stage name. Her beauty, her vo-cal abilities and her stage presence made her a natural for the operetta, a shorter and usually lighter form of opera that sometimes con-tained spoken dialogue.

The operetta had become one of the most popular forms of theater in the early decades of the 20th centu-ry. Famous composers like Irish-born Victor Herbert (1859-1924), Austrian-born Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) and Czech-born Rudolph Friml (1879-1972), contrib-uted to its popularity and made Dorothy South’s ca-reer possible.

She performed in Her-bert’s “Princess Pat,” com-

posed in 1915; Friml’s “Glo-rianna” composed in 1918; and Kreisler’s “Apple Blos-soms,” composed in 1919.

The Knoxville Sentinel (Nov. 20, 1921) reported, “Miss South only recently returned from Australia and New Zealand where she played a six-month engagement as (the) lead-ing role of ‘Irene.’ En route home she came through the Suez Canal and by way of Paris and London. In the latter city she was urged to accept a long engagement in an English company presenting ‘Irene,’ but she declined, preferring to come back to her native land.”

Perhaps Dorothy South’s most famous role was that of a Spanish senorita, Solea, in composer Manuel Penel-la’s tragic operetta, “The Wildcat,” which had shown about 2,700 times in Europe in its Spanish version and came to New York to be per-formed in English.

The operetta premiered in Atlantic City and then went to Washington, D.C., where President Warren G. and Florence Harding and the Spanish ambassador were present for the fi rst perfor-mance. Penella was ecstatic about Dorothy, praising her wonderful voice, magnetic personality and winsome stage presence.

When it arrived in New York, it was reviewed by

Dorothy South (1884-

1964), known interna-

tionally for her starring

performances on Broad-

way and elsewhere in

numerous operettas.

The New York Times (Nov. 19, 1921). “(It is) the liveli-est and ‘horsiest,’ if not the ‘bulliest,’ representation of a bull-ring scene since Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ came to town,” the paper of record said.

It is the story of Rafael, a toreador, who plans re-venge on Juanillo, an outlaw mountaineer, who plotted to kill him on sight for the love of Solea, his gypsy sweet-heart. They agree to settle the contest in the ring. In one scene the brass band plays the familiar toreador theme while the two rivals march into the ring in their fl amboyant traje de luces(suit of lights).

After her stage career ended, Lil-lian wrote a novel, “Hidden Roots” (Exposition Press, New York, 1964). It was the crowning achievement of a distinguished career.

Lillian McMillan Stuart passed away in New York on Oct. 31, 1964, survived by her son, Martin Lewis Stuart of Washington, D.C., and her brother, John A. McMillan of Knoxville. Husband Frank Stuart had died earlier. After graveside services, she was interred in the family burial plot in Old Gray Cemetery.

Whatever your workout regimen, you’re probably not doing enough on the fl exibility front. As we age, maintaining fl exibility is an important consideration. The more limber we keep ourselves, the better our success in staving off the stiffness that can come with advancing age, and the better our quality of life will be. The better you’re able to move, the less likely you are to have an accident like a fall at home.

A chiropractor can develop a program of stretching and exercising tailored to your lifestyle

and body type. For in-stance, if you’re a tennis player, skier or golfer, there may be particular areas of your body that you want to focus on. Some general tips: listen to your body. Overdo-ing anything, stretching and exercising included, can lead to injury. Don’t use bouncing or jerking motions when stretching your Achilles tendon, for example. Slowly stretch until you can feel the tug and hold that position for a few seconds. Warm up before stretching. A brisk 10-15 minute walk

should do the trick.If you need compan-

ionship as an incentive to exercise, look around at fi tness centers in your community that offer group classes. Remember, the effort you put into it will pay off with a good quality of life.

TEACHER TIME

First loves In all the years I attend-

ed Union County Public Schools, my mother never set foot on school property on my behalf. My father worked for the maintenance department for a time while I was in fi rst grade, and he would occasionally come to my classroom to pay my lunch bill. On the very rare occasions when I had to leave school early, my father picked me up at the school offi ce. My parents, though overprotective, had com-plete trust in school system employees to keep me safe and teach me what I needed to know.

Accordingly, on the fi rst day of fi rst grade my mother walked my little rear end to our mailbox and placed me on “Earn” McPhetridge’s bus number 12 headed to Maynardville Elementary. I was given two words to get me where I needed to go – “Miss Hazel.” This turned out to be none other than legendary, veteran Union County teacher Miss Hazel Walters.

I was introduced to two of my fi rst loves in life when I was 6 years old. Not only was Miss Hazel to be my new teacher, but right be-fore I started school our family moved from Jessie Buckner’s rental house on Academy Street to a house we rented from Jack War-wick on Old Luttrell Road. I dearly loved this house and was privileged to live there through my freshman year at LMU. I loved Miss Hazel too, and like many other little boys I dreamed of the day I would grow up and marry her.

Miss Hazel had taught my mother’s other children at Nave Hill, and I saw pic-tures of her before I ever met her. According to my

older brother, Miss Hazel had a long neck that did not feature well in pictures, so she cut one of her pictures at an angle to remove her neck before giving him the picture.

Miss Hazel never heard of Common Core State Stan-dards, and her traditional teaching methods would undoubtedly receive the very lowest rating on today’s teacher evaluation model. Many of her disciplinary measures would fi nd her in court or jail today. The best technology she had in addi-tion to books, paper, pencil, chalk, and chalkboard con-sisted of an overhead pro-jector, record player, and a black and white television. Amazingly, in spite of all this she taught many groups of rough little fi rst graders how to read and count to 100 while getting us ready for more learning in second grade.

My dream of growing up to marry Miss Hazel was to end tragically. One day af-ter I passed fi rst grade Dad came home and told me that Miss Hazel Walters was now a Butcher. No, she didn’t quit teaching to work in Hensley’s IGA meat depart-ment. She had married Mr. Cecil H. Butcher Sr. Miss Hazel was now Mrs. Hazel Walters Butcher, but not much else changed. She sent word by Dad that I would al-ways be her boyfriend.

Next week I’ll share my experiences with Miss Ha-zel’s discipline.

Paulette Elementary is a purple and yellow world. The fl oors are patterns of VCT in a warm purple and a bright yellow. The hall walls have big purple and yellow stripes along their length with, thanks to a good designer, a lot of off-white for relief.

Two accomplished artists have used the color scheme as a jumping-off point for paintings that now adorn the front offi ce.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, love is not pompous, it is not infl ated, it is not rude …” – 1 Cor 13:4

The family is the foundation of society. Yet many today suffer from unhappy marriages and the pains of divorce. Many children grow up without the security of a mother and father in the same home. It is common for couples to live together, have children and not even consider marriage.

Yet, Jesus taught that marriage is for life.( See Matthew 19: 1-12 and Mark 10:1-12.) Both Jesus and Paul state that premarital physical intimacy is a sin. (See Mt 15:19, Mk 7:21, Gal. 5:19, and Eph. 5:3).

Is it the emptiness, hurt and loneliness in people’s lives that lead them to enter relationships that ignore God’s plan for the family and love? Is it that our society tends to be self-centered? Is the hunger for love so strong, but so misguided, that we have become too confused to even know what we are seeking?

Whatever the reason, Paul clarifi es what Love is and is not. Love is not selfi sh, jealous

Come to the wateror rude. Love is patient and kind. “Love bears all things, believes all things, hope all things, endure all things. Love never fails.” (1 Cor 13: 7-8) This is the love, when present in a couple, that gives them security, strengthens both individuals and provides a stable home for children. Yet, to discover this love requires patience, discipline, prayer and sacrifi ce. We need to be a bit old-fashioned and not settle for today’s norms. We need to hold fast to the biblical way of love. Only this will bring us joy in our relationships.

Together, with the power of Christ, we can help heal those wounded from broken hearts and betrayals. Together, we can reject the ways of the world and embrace the way of Christ in the area of love and family. Together, with Christ, we can restore families to be once again the foundation of our society.
