By Sandra ClarkRetired UT professor
Bruce Wheeler says history is about stories, not dates, so he proceeded to tell some nice ones to the North K n o x v i l l e Rotary Club last week at Litton’s.
The funniest was from Robert Lewis Dabney (whose son Charles was later president of UT), a Civil War chaplain and Gen. Stonewall Jack-son’s biographer. Dabney told of Georgia Sen. Rob-ert Toombs who was confronted by a woman just prior to the war. “Can we beat them Yankees?” she asked.
“We can beat them with cornstalks,” he answered.
After Appomattox, the woman reminded him of his prediction. Toombs replied: “Madam, the SOBs would not fi ght with cornstalks.”
Wheeler now lives in Wears Valley. This story was told by a fi ddle player sitting on his front porch:
Seems the man’s parents had been Christian mis-sionaries in Tibet prior to the communist takeover. He was born there but left
when the family was given the choice to leave or be killed.
Decades later the man and his wife journeyed back to his birthplace. The church and school had been destroyed. The village was gone. Even the grave-stones had been dug up and thrown over a cliff. He was devastated. Was his par-ents’ work in vain?
They saw people walking toward them, going about their daily life. As they drew closer, Wheeler’s guest rec-ognized their song. It was “Amazing Grace.”
One more for MLK Day: Wheeler’s col-league Dr. Cynthia Fleming took stu-dents to Selma and
Montgomery. There is a big star on the fl oor of
the Alabama Capitol entry.On that star Jefferson
Davis was sworn in as pres-ident of the Confederacy. Some 100 years later Gov. George Wallace stood there to declare, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.”
The UT students watched a school bus discharge a class of elementary school-aged children, all black. The teacher collected their chewing gum and they marched up the steps, walk-ing over that star as they en-tered their Capitol.

A chiropractic examination is a pain-free, stress-free procedure that allows a chiropractor to determine what, if any, treatment might be needed to correct a problem or to maintain a healthy condition.
The exam will consist of several steps. One check will be for leg length. A difference in length of even a fraction of an inch could indicate a subluxation: the misalignment of one or more of the vertebrae that make up the spine.
The doctor of chiropractic will also check a patient’s range of motion for various joints, including the neck. How far a person can turn his or her head from side to side and from front to back can reveal whether there is a subluxation.
The chiropractor will also check a patient’s posture and, as with the legs, look to see if the
shoulders are level. If one shoulder is higher than the other, that too could be the sign of spinal misalignment.
The chiropractor may also examine the spine by palpation, which means by touch. Through years of formal education and clinical practice, the chiropractor is skilled at detecting problems through manual examination of the spine.
Chiropractors have a variety of diagnostic tools at their disposal in addition to their hands. The chiropractor may use X-rays or techniques like video fl uoroscopy and, in some cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to further diagnose a problem.

The Fountain City Art Center recently hosted the themed show East Tennes-see Treasures, featuring lo-cal artists’ work depicting the area.
Director Sylvia Williams was impressed with the originality and number of submissions for the exhibit.
Named Best of Show was the watercolor work of Ja-net Trewhitt, “Promise of Spring in the Smokies.” The judges selected the piece because of the balance, contrast, excellent continu-ity and subtle variations of tone.
First place went to Kate Aubrey for her watercolor “Elkmont Memories.” The judges called the piece a “playful watercolor wild card” and liked how the “loose, energetic applica-tion of the watercolor cre-ates shapes and light.”
Kate McCullough won second place with her wa-tercolor featuring Mason jars of Ole Smokey Moon-shine titled “Tennessee Gold.” The judges stated that the “Mason jars reveal a rich contrast in color and careful balance of shapes” and liked how the artist handled the glass and liquid in the piece.
Rounding out the top winners was Robert Bird-well’s watercolor “Sullivan’s

Remember the fun Tina Fey had with her Sarah Pal-in impersonation on “Satur-day Night Live?” If you do, you can hardly wait to see what the show does with Joni Ernst.
Ernst is what would hap-pen if Palin and Michele Bachmann conceived a love child. Choosing “Shoeless Joni” to “rebut” the presi-dent’s State of the Union ad-dress makes as much sense as castrating hogs with bread bags on your feet.
Anyway, very little rebut-tal took place.
A couple of years ago I saw Shirley McMurtrie, and she told me she was compil-ing a cookbook of her own recipes and those she felt worth collecting. All this was while Shirley was gath-ering, drying and crack-ing black walnuts, picking out the kernels and can-ning them for fundraisers for her favorite charities. Shirley also made the most delicious chocolate fudge to be used for the same pur-pose. At times, Shirley even worked as a caregiver for persons younger than her-self.
Isn’t it wonderful to be blessed with good health?
Shirley has now changed her focus, deciding to write her memoirs. What a trea-sure to leave for her family! Shirley has now fi nished two volumes in a series of at least four.
I might add that although Shirley has chosen not to number the pages, the fi rst two volumes are not small. The fi rst covers Shirley’s recollections of her fi rst 20 years. Volume II covers the period from her age 20 to 40.
If she continues the se-ries with 20-year sections, four books would only take her to age 80. I know Shir-
A few months ago, I had the enjoyable experi-ence of visiting with a for-mer teacher and her family around their supper table. Of course my mind traveled to the times I spent in Ms. Geneva Ailor’s class during sixth period of eighth grade.
Ms. Ailor’s sister was none other than my elemen-tary PE teacher, Ms. Carolyn Murr, a fact I found com-forting. Ms. Ailor had the unique responsibility (mis-sion impossible?) to teach spelling, writing (composi-tion), reading (literature), and English grammar daily in one hour.
Ms. Ailor was success-ful in this endeavor, but needless to say, she oper-ated high speed to fulfi ll her duties. I sat in the fi rst seat on the second row from the windows, and I remember I liked to comment orally to the sentences Ms. Ailor used when giving spelling tests. There was certainly not a lot of time to allow me to be conversational, and I’m sure I unnerved Ms. Ailor by doing this, but she was tolerant.
Once while Ms. Ailor was giving a quiz on a story that was assigned reading for the night before, the offi ce notifi ed her that she had an important phone call. I’m sure it was very important, for Ms. Ailor took her teach-ing seriously and never left class unattended. I had read the story, but a class-mate named Duane had not. While Ms. Ailor was out of the room, I helped Duane by telling him answers to ques-tions he could in no way have known.
When Ms. Ailor re-turned, she completed giv-ing the quiz, and then re-quested that anyone who had cheated while she was out of class indicate so in

Keeping up with
ley has lots more life in her, so I’m betting on a Volume V, which will take her to a grand 100 years.
Shirley’s daughter, Anne, is helping her mother with these books, which are lim-ited editions only for im-mediate family. Many of the details and tidbits of information are very per-sonal. The books also con-tain a treasure-trove of photographs of family, close friends and home places of bygone days.
Although the memoirs will not be available to the general public, I want to recognize Shirley for hav-ing the ambition and talent to leave behind such won-derful documents for those close to her. It is genealogy in the form of short stories, which is even more interest-ing to those you love.
At the moment Shirley is taking a little break from writing her memoirs to piece some quilt tops. She’s fi nished three already.
Justice and mercy
writing. I looked at Duane, he at me. Neither of us could be sure of what the other would do, and we certainly couldn’t discuss it right in front of the teacher. So what did we do?
Each of us admitted on our quiz papers that we had cheated. Ms. Ailor re-quested that the two who were honest about cheating remain after class. We did, and were properly dressed down for being such a griev-ous disappointment to not only Ms. Ailor but to our-selves. As we both made passing grades (and what a shame it would have been to have a zero as just dessert for our transgression), Ms. Ailor allowed us an oppor-tunity to keep our passing grades by writing a lengthy summary of the story.
From this we learned that cheating often leads to more work than originally re-quired, and that while hon-esty does not always forego consequences, it sometimes results in mercy from those in authority. We each wrote our summaries and were al-lowed to keep the passing quiz grades.
There were, unfortunate-ly, other times when I cheat-ed and didn’t acknowledge my guilt. My punishment is continual disappointment in my lack of integrity that allowed me to do so.
Perhaps fate decreed that part of my penance was to be delivered many years later when I was innocent, a story I’ll share next week.
Miracles on Pennsylvania Avenue
There was the expected swipe at Obama’s “failed” health care plan. Obam-acare has proved such a resounding dud that 10 mil-lion people now have insur-ance who had none before.
Like her Tea Party soul-mates, Ernst is not about to let facts stand in the way of demagoguery.
But without the miracle which preceded her, Ernst wouldn’t have had an audi-ence to admire her dental work. A black president de-livering a State of the Union

message is a social and polit-ical miracle few of my gener-ation thought we’d witness.
I vividly remember the way in which the only black student in my freshman high school class was treat-ed 50 years ago. I can recall feeling ashamed and em-barrassed for her, but I was too cowardly to speak up.
I don’t know where she found the courage to show up each day and endure the name-calling, shunning and isolation, and I’ve often won-dered how she made out later in life.
Now, leafi ng through my high school yearbook, I fi nd the faces of two young black women among the hun-dreds of class photos.
I scan the superlatives: best dressed, best school spirit, best looking, most studious,
most athletic, best-all-around, most likely to succeed.
I browse the clubs, the chorus, the student council, and the football and bas-ketball teams. I come to the homecoming queen and her court, class offi cers and the happy scholarship winners.
Tall, short, slim, stocky, smiling or somber, they have one thing in common: their white skin.
A black president one day? Dream on.
Viewed through my gener-ational lens, Barack Obama’s presidency is miraculous. I was 13 years old when Bull Connor turned fi re hoses and police dogs loose on chil-dren in Birmingham, Ala., 14 when three civil rights work-ers were murdered near Phil-adelphia, Miss.

Real life is not far away.College football is his-
tory for Justin Coleman, Justin Worley, Marlin Lane, Jordan Williams, Jacob Gil-liam, Devrin Young, Matt Darr, A.J. Johnson and a few other Volunteers who settled for smaller head-lines.
One, two or three may fi nd jobs in the NFL. The others face this sobering question: What now? What happens after the cheering stops, after the crowd has gone home and old jerseys and Adidas shoes are put away? What happens when life replaces fun ‘n games?
Well, it depends.Dick Williams looked
like a tight end but played defensive tackle in the mid-late 1960s (heart of a lion). He married well and co-founded an insur-

ance agency and became a national leader in the in-dustry. He has never had half the credit he deserves for supporting UT and for leading the East Tennes-see chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame.
Larry Seivers, fi rst of the great receivers, never be-lieved the cheers were for him so there wasn’t much to miss when it was over. He went into the vending business (food services) and earned a fortune.
David Rudder, quarter-back, completed 11 passes in a row against Alabama in 1978 and became our and several others’ dentist.
Bill Nowling, fullback-linebacker, 1940-42, fi n-ished a fi ne career with an interception against Tulsa in the Sugar Bowl. Too soon football was background. Bill and many other Volun-teers went away for World War II. Nowling was killed fi ghting in France on Aug. 9, 1944.
Jim Smelcher, tackle, 1956-59, coached for a while, got smart and started an insurance agency. There is value in being a former Volunteer.
Several Tennessee ath-letes performed as well or better after the applause faded away. Hank Lauricel-la, great in 1950-51, enjoyed
a 32-year political career in Louisiana, eight as a state representative, 24 as a state senator. He was managing partner of Lauricella Land Company.
Bill Johnson, 1957 really good guard, became a Spar-ta banker and university trustee. Bob Johnson, 1967 center (sixth in Heisman voting), was an icon with the Cincinnati Bengals and is one in Cincinnati busi-ness.
David Allen, cornerback, 1970-72, returned to Ath-ens, Ga., and emerged as the state’s leading urologist.
Herman Hickman, 1931 guard, had a short but spec-tacular post-football career as TV and banquet humor-ist and Sports Illustrated author. I probably shouldn’t tell you that he dabbled in pro wrestling.
Steve Chancey, second generation Vol, son of a coach, scored a couple of touchdowns against Penn State in 1972. He and Art Reynolds created a heating and air conditioning busi-ness. Good men. Good com-pany.
Ed Molinski, 1939 guard, became a doctor.
Tony Robinson went another direction, from spectacular quarterback in 1984-85 to prison. His path looks better now.
Austin Shofner, 1936 tackle behind Bob Wood-ruff, became a Marine. He plotted and led the only suc-cessful American team es-cape from a Japanese prison camp during World War II. He brought to the world the fi rst report of the Bataan Death March.
Shofner retired as a brig-
adier general.Dennis Wolfe, linebacker
and captain, 1978, is an-other winner. He didn’t say much as a Volunteer but spoke right up as a school administrator. He is a lead-er in the lettermen’s T Club.
Mack Gentry was serious about academics and athlet-ics when he arrived in 1963. I recall that he was pledged to a fraternity for one week. He was in law school before he ran out of eligibility as a defensive tackle.
He coached at West Point. There were few cheers. The team went 1-9-1. He became an SEC and NFL offi cial. Nobody cheers for zebras. He heads a tax law fi rm. It earns deep appreciation. If there is applause, it is pri-vate.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

As a man and a politi-cian, Obama is fl awed, as we all are. That doesn’t take away from the signifi cance of his election.
Despite the Republican majority in both houses of Congress, there is a gradual turning away from the reac-tionary politics that began with Reagan and peaked with the neocon tragedy that was the Bush administra-tion. Gridlock in Washington has earned both parties a bad rap, but Republicans come off much worse in national polls.
The worst mid-term voter turnout since 1944, 36 per-cent of eligible voters, is not a ringing endorsement of the party of “No.” In fact, there’s a good chance the Obama mira-cle may beget still another.

Wasn’t it Bette Davis who said, “Getting old is not for sissies”? Now, there is a bit of wisdom that becomes clearer to me as the years pass.
What about poor Me-thuselah? However you understand the biblical ac-counting of years, it’s clear that Methuselah lived much longer than average. Suc-ceeding generations lived shorter and shorter lives, a fact which one commenta-tor attributes to the cumula-tive effects of sin on human life.
I have discovered that age provides perspective. The things that once were hugely important – crucial, even – aren’t so important anymore.
Maybe it was the turn-ing of another year that set me thinking about time and age. Maybe I feel older be-cause this is the fi rst New Year in which I am without any living ancestors. Maybe it is because these days I seem to have more doc-

Thanks from the Union County Food PantryThe volunteers of the
Union County Food Pantry would like to thank every-one who helped out in 2014.
While we can’t possibly list everyone, we’d like to mention that the contribu-tions of Kane the wrestler, The Journey Church and Food City were monumen-
tal. Also, several gener-ous individuals gave above and beyond throughout the year.
So for everyone who gave food, made a monetary do-nation or helped on distri-bution day, we send a heart-felt thank you! We couldn’t have done it without you!
When Methuselah had lived one hundred eighty sev-en years, he became the father of Lamech. Methuselah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty-nine years; and he died.

tors’ appointments than has been my custom!
But would I go back and live it all over again? Not a chance.
I have learned a lot about what is truly important. I have learned that one of my favorite words is today. I have learned that time is limited, and that every day is a gift. As someone said, “That’s why we call it the present!”
So in this present, what will I do?
I hope that I will live, love, give, forgive, forget, remember, rejoice, serve, abide. I hope that I will make a difference in some way, to someone. I hope that I will be thankful for all things.

is fi ve months into the church’s $11 million build-ing project that is more than 20 percent complete. These are numbers that make the Rev. Jerry Vittatoe very happy.
“When we broke ground the estimated completion date was 14-16 months,” he said. “If we stay on sched-ule we hope to be in the new worship center by the end of this year.”
Relocation is a major undertaking for a congre-gation that has been at the same address on Thompson School Road for more than 118 years. But the people at Clear Springs are happy to invest in the community. The new church property is at Harbison’s Crossroads with entrances off both Emory Road and Tazewell Pike.
Vittatoe, the church’s se-nior pastor, says they are willing and eager to make

the move, because it will al-low them to reach so many more people.
“God has richly blessed us where we are, but our parking is full and we have reached capacity for the current location.”
The George W. Reagan Company is keeping things moving, and Vittatoe says
it’s exciting to watch the day-to-day progress. Each week there is less steel piled on the ground and more ris-ing into the air.
Vittatoe says the congre-gation is praying that God will send a buyer for their current facility. He says he can see God working in ev-ery facet of the process and
is confi dent it will sell.“One of the best sell-
ing points regarding our present building is that God has blessed us greatly in this location,” he said. “It’s off the beaten path but somehow folks always
manage to find us.”Vittatoe says people of-
ten travel long distances to hear CSBC’s choir and expe-rience the loving fellowship there.
“We believe God has and will continue to bless this community with healthy growth,” he said. “We, alongside other wonderful churches in this area, will have opportunities to reach many who need to experi-ence the love of God. Clear Springs is a church that believes in doing the old things better.
“We have an eye on the future but also have a touch of old-fashioned. It is an ex-citing adventure.”
