MY TWO CENTS

If you love rock and roll music, you eventually fi nd your way to Levon Helm and The Band.

‘Ain’t In It for My Health’

Daniel Kimbro, R.B. Morris and Greg Horne pay tribute to Levon Helm at the Relix

Variety Theatre before the Knoxville premiere of “Ain’t In It for My Health,” a docu-

mentary about Helm’s 2007 comeback recording, “Dirt Farmer.” Helm was the lead

singer and drummer for The Band. He died in 2012. Photo by Jake Mabe

I arrived fairly late in the game, thanks to my age.

“The Big Chill” and “The Last Waltz,” the Martin

Scorsese-directed 1978 fi lm of The Band’s fi nal concert, is widely considered the great-est rock and roll documen-tary ever put to celluloid. Fountain City artist Charles Williams tells me he watches the latter at least once a year. It soothes the soul, he says.

The Band recorded some of the most well-known tunes of the rock era (“Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Weight,” “The Night They Drove Ol’ Dixie Down”) in their short-lived time to-gether. If the name Levon rings a bell even if The Band doesn’t, perhaps you’ve

heard “Levon,” the Elton John/Bernie Taupin song named in Helm’s honor.

And Levon could have been, should have been, al-most was, yet another rock and roll tragedy. One mem-ber of The Band, Richard Manuel, committed sui-cide in 1986. Another, Rick Danko, died of heart failure at age 56.

Too many drugs, too many songs, too much hard living.

And, by the late 1990s, Helm had hit rock bottom, too. He was broke. He was diagnosed with throat can-cer. He hadn’t recorded any-

thing in years. But unlike so many other

rockers, Helm found re-demption. His twilight tri-umph is movingly portrayed in director Jacob Hatley’s documentary “Ain’t In It for My Health.”

The movie made its Knoxville debut at a WDVX-sponsored event at the Relix Variety Theatre.

Helm sought treatment for his cancer. His raspy whisper improved to a voice that was, in his words, “al-most 80 percent normal.” He began recording again with his daughter Amy

and producer/musician Larry Campbell. The result was “Dirt Farmer,” a 2007 smash hit that won a Gram-my Award.

The guy who had begun to hold concerts (called “The Midnight Ramble”) at his Woodstock, N.Y., home four years earlier just to pay the mortgage and medical bills had found his voice. And, perhaps more poignantly, he had found some peace.

Helm recorded two more albums (winning another Grammy) before passing away, of complications from throat cancer, last year.

It’s all captured in Hatley’s fi lm, the title of which comes from a comment Helm made to bandmate Robbie Rob-ertson in the mid-70s, who wanted to talk about “the health of The Band” just be-fore the group split.

Helm’s response?

“I’m a (expletive) mu-sician. I ain’t in it for my health.”

For the pre-1860 history of Cedar Ford, it is best to search Grainger County re-cords.

Sandra Clark

Bonnie Peters

Mary A. “Aunt Molly” Dyer at Cedar Ford in 1922. Aunt Molly

died in 1924 and is buried in Clear Branch Cemetery.

When Luttrell was Cedar Ford

Prior to the formation of Union County, this commu-nity was in Grainger County. Flat Creek, that ran through the Cedar Ford settlement, was an attractive draw for early settlers.

Not far behind the cur-rent Cedar Ford Baptist Church is a shallow span of Flat Creek. Before bridges were constructed, it was a place for people, horses, wagons and later cars and trains to ford the creek.

Cedar trees were preva-lent all around the settle-ment, so the name Cedar Ford seemed appropriate.

Prior to 1890, when the community was renamed

Luttrell, there was a church, a school, the Lindsey Hubbs Mill, a lime kiln and the marble quarry. Marble quarried at this location can be seen in the Union County Courthouse as well as in fi ne buildings throughout the nation.

In 1870, the population of Cedar Ford was 800.

In 1887, the Powell Val-ley Railroad, now part of the Norfolk Southern Rail-way, was built through the community and it became a shipping center for the surrounding area. In ad-dition to shipping marble, local folks shipped hay and lumber by rail. Conversely, ice was shipped up to Cedar Ford for ice cream makings and for those who had ice boxes to keep their milk and other foods.

Revolutionary War sol-dier John Hubbs and his descendants owned many tracts of land, more than 1,000 acres, from Copper Ridge to Grainger County, and in 1843 John Hubbs Jr. gave “a piece of land on

the wagon road at the ford known as Cedar Ford.”

In 1870, Howell Hubbs deeded an acre of land to the United Baptist Church at Cedar Ford. In 1877, John H. Hubbs deeded land on which to build a school.

During the Civil War, John and Nancy Hill Hubbs’ son, Lindsey S. Hubbs, owned and operated a grain mill on Flat Creek at Cedar Ford.

The following story was told by the late Jack Ham-mond of Knoxville. Sarah, who tied the rope from the horse around her waist in the story, was his grand-mother, born in 1847.

Jack related that his grandmother told him “times were hard and sup-plies were hard to get” so Lindsey sent his daughter, Paralee and son, Leroy, out to the mill to get some corn cobs to burn in the cook stove. While they were there, Lindsey heard a noise and knew that the Rebels were coming and that they were up to no good. He

knew that he would proba-bly be taken out and, as was the custom with the Rebels, whipped within an inch of his life.

Not wishing his children to have to undergo the same treatment, he dug a hole into the wheat that was ready for milling and pushed Paralee

into the hole. Then he made a hole in the shelled corn and put Leroy into it. He told the children to be quiet until the Rebels had come and gone. This action saved their lives and they both lived to a ripe old age.

At another time, after the Rebels had stolen all their

ducks, chickens and cows, there was only one old horse left in the way of livestock. When they heard that the Rebels were coming, they tied a rope to the halter of the old horse and passed it through a knot hole in the door.

Sarah, “Aunt Sal,” tied the rope around her waist to prevent the theft of the horse and spent the night with that rope tied around her waist.

When asked, “What do you think would have hap-pened if the Rebels had tried to take the horse?” She said, “I guess I just wouldn’t have been here.”

Supplies were so hard to get that Paralee told of parching shelled corn and using it for coffee. The people didn’t have salt and learned to do without it. Later in life Paralee would ask for cornbread to be made without salt.

Now, it just wouldn’t be Cedar Ford without men-tion of Mary “Aunt Molly” Dyer. One of the good sto-ries about her is that she took her cow to Flat Creek every morning and washed the whole cow before she milked her. I’m sure that felt good in summer, but just image the poor cow having to endure that in January!

This and thatMarilyn Toppins has

confi rmed her retirement as an employee of Union Coun-ty Public Schools.

She’s had so many jobs that I’m not sure what she did last. But Marilyn served with honor as interim di-rector of schools and is as knowledgeable of the ins and outs of the school sys-tem as anybody.

She’s got a role to play, but I would suggest it’s not as a gadfl y at board meet-ings.

Toppins should run for the school board.

That’s a notion I sup-port fully, knowing it would add at least an hour to each meeting.

Candy counter: Fol-low along, friends, because somewhere here there’s a point. Maybe.

So Carolyn Murr shows up in her usual spot on the school board agenda but before talking she asks Dr. Ronnie Mincey to distribute some candy bars to every-one on the dais.

She directed Mincey to give a large Hershey bar to everyone, and then to give a smaller bar to just half of the group.

That, she said, represents the current school board policy toward health insur-ance for teachers. Everyone gets a large bar (almost full coverage paid for by the system) and the employees with families get an addi-

tional smaller bar (partial reimbursement for family coverage).

“Where’s the candy bar for non-certifi eds?” asked board member Marty Gibbs.

Murr just shrugged.The biggest inequity in

the current plan is that the system makes no contribu-tion toward individual or family insurance for the teaching assistants, secre-taries, custodians and oth-ers classifi ed as non-certi-fi ed.

Yes, health insurance is offered (making their kids ineligible for TennCare), but the system doesn’t help pay the premiums. According to commissioner Joyce Melt-abarger, the health insur-ance premiums for family

coverage is as much as some non-certifi ed employees earn.

Murr said afterwards that she is concerned that the board will try to attack the individual employee benefi t – the one that affects everyone.

“I’m against that,” said Murr, who heads the Union County Education Associa-tion. There are 123 people getting only one bar while 73 teachers get both the big and little bars, she said.

“You can go up (on ben-efi ts) but you should not go back. Do not penalize people because they do not carry family insurance.”

On another topic, Murr urged the school board to “be a hero” and give teach-

ers the 1.5 percent pay in-crease authorized by the state Legislature.

When the meeting ad-journed, Gibbs walked by with a handful of candy bars. Seems some members just left theirs on the table.

Maybe they thought Murr was trying to poison them.

School clinics: Dr. Jim-my Carter said he expects to bring a contract with a local doctor to the school board for approval to provide health care in schools.

“We ultimately want a long-term contract with LMU,” but this contract would keep clinics open at some level at no cost to UCPS. The doctor would be reimbursed by insurance, Carter said.

Until further notice, Charlie High is my fa-vorite Tennessee football walk-on.

Charlie High: Favorite UT football walk-on

Nobody can match his quarterback statistics – back-to-back state cham-pionships for Christian Academy of Knoxville, 74.4 completion rate, 10,978 yards, 131 passing touchdowns against 22 interceptions, astounding success.

Few can come close to his level of desire and determination. He has been told again and again that the odds are stacked against him. He just isn’t

big enough. He reacted by working doggedly to add bulk and strength.

When Vol fans debate the upcoming quarterback race, the first argument is whether Justin Worley can ward off Nathan Pe-terman. Threatening from a distance are the highly recruited freshmen, Josh-ua Dobbs and Riley Fergu-son. Maybe by game 5 one will take over.

Charlie High isn’t even mentioned.

A weaker man might be discouraged or have his spirit crushed. But this one has been there before. He has endured doubts, disinterest and rejection. Recruiting was a tortur-ous experience. Every-body kept asking where he was going to college.

Charlie had choices. Liberty and Tusculum of-fered. And, finally, UT-

The Bible does not mention cats.

No cats. At all.Kitty-cats are nowhere

to be found in Scripture. (Believe me; I have searched!) Tigers are left out as well, presumably because they were not native to the Middle East. There are a few mentions of lions and lionesses, usually symbolizing the destroyer (not a fl attering picture of

The felines among us And among the nations the remnant of Jacob,

surrounded by many people, shall be like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the fl ocks of sheep, which, when it goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, with no one to deliver.

(Micah 5: 8 NRSV)

My curiosity sent me to my biblical maps to find out just where Noah’s ark presumably landed, because there must have been cats aboard, right? Lions, leopards, tigers? Mount Ararat is located in Turkey, just across the Armenian border, at the juncture of Europe, Asia and relatively close to Africa. How convenient for Noah, when it was time to disembark, and send all those critters on their way home!

One of my favorite scenes in the 1966 movie “The Bible” (produced by Dino De Laurentiis and

directed by John Huston) is when Noah’s wife demands of her husband, “How are we going to feed all these lions and tigers?” Noah (played by Huston himself) calmly replies, “Well, they are just great cats!” as he sets down a bowl of milk before the beasts.

My husband’s cat (aptly named Kitty Kat) arrived on the scene by misfortune. Or perhaps I should say, more accurately, by Providence. She was a tiny kitten, not old enough to be weaned, when someone heartlessly set her out beside the road near Lewis’ house. He found her, and rescued her (or she rescued him, because until her arrival he was alone and lonely).

He took her in, fed her with a medicine dropper, and she became his constant companion, his familiar, his friend.

She has expressive green eyes, and black, black fur, with about six white hairs on the scruff of her neck. She is, quite simply, elegant. I remind her frequently that if she had lived in ancient Egypt, she would have been considered a goddess. I am convinced she is pleased by that news.

She loves me and has accepted me graciously, but she is still Lewis’ cat, and he is her person. She goes to his office with him every day, and has two perches there: one on a table at the end of his desk, and the other on a

chair beside a windoweddoor where she can surveyher domain.

I found some feathersscattered across theparking lot the other day,and realized that KittyKat, like every feline, isat heart a predator, nomatter how domesticated.I am grateful she did notfeel the need to share herprey with me. I like birdsas long as there is glassbetween me and theirbeaks and claws, and evena feather gives me theshivers.

I am grateful KittyKat permits me to live inher house, and that shegraciously allows me tolove her person.

But I should expect noless. She is, after all, alady.

Charlie High

Martin and Tennessee Tech showed interest. None of those had a place in his dream.

I remember when a Kentucky fan, hooked on faulty facts, said Charlie High might be the most underrated prep quarter-back in America. The guy thought High was 6-2.

He isn’t. He is 5-11 and

seven/eighths without socks. He was 176 last sea-son. He is now 190. When he takes a deep breath, he is six feet tall.

College coaches prefer Peyton Manning-sized quarterbacks who can see over large linemen. High must move his feet and find ways to look around them.

Condredge Holloway became a Tennessee leg-end without being very tall. Perhaps you have heard of Doug Flutie. Sonny Jurgensen, 5-11, is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Drew Brees is the best six-footer currently con-ducting business in the NFL. Before him were Fran Tarkenton, Len Daw-son and Joe Theismann. All are exceptions to the tallness rule.

But wait, wait, you say,

the game has changed so much and those famous names were very athlet-ic, nifty scramblers with power arms.

Here High takes an-other hit. He is accused of being a “system” quarter-back. We are told his very bright coach, Rusty Brad-ley, and the school team made Charlie a winner instead of the other way around. Three excellent receivers – Davis Howell, Josh Smith and Franklin Murchison – made it hap-pen.

Few mention High’s strengths, football in-stincts, poise under du-ress, terrific touch, amaz-ing accuracy. Can he de-liver peak performance under pressure? Check his numbers in state playoff games.

Walk-ons who come to Tennessee with minimum

encouragement, work like heck and eventually con-tribute earn my lasting respect.

Walk-ons who climb far above expectations, crash the starting lineup and win scholarships become treasured success sto-ries. Think Tim Townes, Jeff Powell, Alan Duncan, Steve Robinson and the Sullins twins, Cody and Cory.

Walk-ons who defy limitations and just keep pushing, up and up, un-til they become leaders of men – captains Mike LaSorsa, J.J. McCleskey, Nick Reveiz – are unfor-gettable!

Charlie High is a Vol-unteer because he really, really wants to be. That is my best reason to cheer. Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Teresa Cooper’s preferred drive time get an extra-spe-cial treat when she shows up.

Cooper brings her crop of baked goodies to sweeten the harvest among all the healthy vegetables, fruits and other farm yields.

Bread, cakes, turnovers and cookies travel well, but to experience her choco-lates and candies you’ll have to catch her at her shop on Karen Lane just across Hwy. 33 from Red Gate.

Union Countians know her from her 20-year ca-reer as owner of Teresa’s Bakery, and before that, her children’s day care center, Teresa’s Tiny Tots in May-nardville.

Her Union County roots go deeper yet, as she is the daughter of Joe Day, prin-cipal of Horace Maynard High School from 1976 until his death in 1985.

Teresa and her husband, Mike Cooper, who’s worked at Big Ridge State Park al-most 40 years, have three grown kids, Brittney, Blair and Brian, and two grand-sons, Jacob and Michael.

Custom cakes are just one of Teresa’s Bakery special-ties. There are 400 shapes to choose from, something for every occasion.

Milk: post-cowBy Sandra Clark

and Gibson Calfee What happens to milk

between the time the cow is milked and you grab a pint or gallon at the grocery?

The Shopper-News in-terns set out to solve this mystery with a visit to Wei-gel’s and its companion business Broadacres Dairy.

What we learned was amazing.

First, the original Broad-acres farm was bigger than 700 acres and began as a vegetable farm more than 100 years ago.

Weigel’s Convenience Stores is now headed by Bill Weigel, grandson of the founder. Bill’s son Kurt Wei-gel also works there.

The farm supported a dairy herd from 1931 until the 1970s, when the herd was sold off and much of the farm was divided into the Broadacres subdivision.

Now milk is bought only from East Tennessee farm-ers and it’s in a store within 24 hours of entering the plant.

Broadacres Dairy tests incoming milk to ensure its safety and to make sure it’s not been watered down.

Douglas Rouch, the plant manager, led our tour. He

moved here from Indiana 12 years ago when a plant he worked for shut down.

He and his wife honey-mooned in Gatlinburg and always liked the area.

Rouch goes to bed at 8 p.m. and gets up at 3 or 3:30 a.m. to be at work by 5.

“We’ve got 63 stores right now and our goal is 100,” Rouch said of Weigel’s.

Each store is built better than the ones before, using stone, tile and other natural materials.

Rouch said his goal is to make every Weigel’s product a cut above the competition, and Weigel’s products are sold only in Weigel’s stores.

Outside, a farm family mowed the fi elds around the dairy barns. Rouch said it’s a third-generation family that cuts the hay for their livestock. It’s a win-win swap, hay for labor.

Weigel’s is launching a new product soon – a Cap-puccino Chiller that’s “half the price of Starbucks.”

A “very lucrative by-product” of the process is cream, which is sold to May-fi eld’s.

After all this, two interns had the same question: “Why is the W off-center in the logo?”

Humane Society needs support

Tammy Rouse, executive director of the Union Coun-ty Humane Society, has sent a request for support this summer.

“We need your help,” she wrote. “The summer months are the toughest for us fi nancially and opera-tionally. Contributions are down because of vacations, gardening and other sum-mer activities.

“We fi nd increased num-bers of animals coming through our doors with the need for more vaccines, food, deworming medica-tion and staff hours to care for the animals.”

Check In! Check Up! Check Back!

Few conditions are more frus-trating to a new parent – and dis-turbing to the new baby, too – than a full-blown case of infantile colic. The near-constant crying and discomfort of the baby can wear you down.

The condition usually appears in the fi rst month of life and often disappears by the third or fourth month. It can last, however, up to a year.

Case studies have shown that chiropractic treatment can be effective in addressing the issue.

For instance, a study at the Center for Biome-chanics at Odense University in Denmark, showed a daily decrease in crying of more than two hours by colicky infants who were treated with spinal manipulation. A study group of infants treated with the drug dimethicone experienced a daily crying decrease of one hour.

Also, a 2012 Anglo-European College of Chiro-practic study found similar results. In the study, 104 infants younger than eight weeks, who are known to have infantile colic, were selected and divided into groups, some treated with chiro-practic manual therapy of the spine, some not. The study found a marked improvement and a reduction in persistent crying among the treated infants.

Colic can be more than annoying. It physi-cally strains the baby, raises the level of parental stress and can interfere with mother-child bond-ing. At the core of chiropractic philosophy is the belief that a body in proper alignment is capable of healing itself.

Talk with your chiropractor if you have a colicky baby.
