Union County High was the scene of a staged head-on car crash, with one ar-rested, one dead and several victims being transported to hospitals by ambulance and the Lifestar helicopter.
The players inside the ve-hicles, on their way to prom, had realistic wounds and “bloody” formal clothing.
The Union County Res-cue Squad, Maynardville VFD, state troopers, UC Sheriff’s Offi ce, Maynard-ville City Police, North East Union VFD, Lifestar and UC EMS staff and volunteers were fully outfi tted and on the job, even using the Jaws of Life to extract a victim from the wreckage.
District attorney Jared Effl er had a prior engage-ment but sent assistant Tyler Hurst to speak to the students.
Ted Greene spoke about the loss of his son to a car
accident. Trinity Funeral Home brought the body bag and hearse and set up a viewing area.
ICARe sponsored and or-ganized the event.
“We couldn’t have pulled it off without everyone’s co-operation and effort. Debbie Sharp and Beth Edmondson of the high school HOSA de-partment led the student ac-tors, Sheriff Billy Breeding, chief deputy Brian Smith, Roger Richardson and ev-eryone was just fantastic,” says ICARe coordinator Mike Miller.
“Susan Cook at ETCH gets special accolades for helping put the whole event together with all her con-tacts and her coordination. Eddie Graham was key to the success of the event. LMU was there fi lming and they plan to make a video.

Beautifi cation Day is such a wonderful event for our community. It provides an opportunity to recognize citizens that take great pride in the appearance of their place.
“It also provides Luttrell residents with free plants so they can help us make our city more beautiful. Several residents came out for the event and all of the plants found a good home.
“I have always been proud to live in Luttrell.
It’s great when people come together to make improve-ments to our town. That’s what Saturday was all about and I’m so glad I could be part of that.
“Mayme deserves all the credit. Luttrell is very lucky to have Mayme!”
Oakes Daylilies, Union County High School, Tater Valley Nursery and Kinsey Nursery donated the plants.
Litter control offi cer Mike Hale supervised a trash pickup for the event.
An afternoon in Luttrell: May 6
■ Meet Our Historic Structures: May 10“Meet Our Historic
Structures,” a tour of his-toric downtown Maynard-ville, will be held 2-4 p.m. Sunday, May 10.
The Union County His-torical Society, Preservation Union County, the Union County Chamber of Com-merce, Union County Arts and the Patterson family have joined to host a tour of some of the town’s most his-toric structures.
The tour will begin at the Union County Museum where you can fi nd arti-facts from every war since 1812, including many uni-forms, farm equipment, musical instruments, keep-sakes from some of Union County’s most famous, Roy Acuff, Chet Atkins, Kenny Chesney, Lois Johnson and Carl Smith, and original artwork by Lloyd Branson.
Also on exhibit is a large number of photographs from the TVA Norris Dam
Project.The Pioneer Log School
Building will be open and it is rumored that Wanda Cox Byerley will be headmaster.
Also on the grounds of the museum is the Monroe Corn Crib. Pick up a copy of Bonnie Heiskell Peters’ Book for a complete history of the crib.
The Union County Cham-ber of Commerce, housed in the Historic Maynardville State Bank, will have their doors open to greet guests and give them a glimpse of the safe. The bank was built in 1918, chartered in 1922 and was the fi rst bank in Union County.
It opened with $50,000 in capital stock and $30,000-plus in deposits. The stock market crash in 1929 took a toll on May-nardville State Bank and it was forced to close in 1930.
In 2001, Union County preservationists and the
East Tennessee Preserva-tion Association joined to save the little bank. With grant funds and private donations the building was restored and is on the Na-tional Register of Historic Places.
One place you won’t want to miss is the old Union County Jail on Maynard-ville Hwy. While the inte-rior was gutted and remod-eled years ago, the outside had remained virtually un-touched and badly in need of repair. The jail was built in 1955 and stayed in op-eration until 1970 when the current jail in the court-house was opened.
Denny Patterson and family have expertly re-stored the exterior of the building to its original facade. The East Tennes-see Preservation Alliance honored the family with a “Preservation of the Year Award” for their restoration
of the building’s exterior in 2014.
You’ll fi nd more than a historic home at the “Doc-tor’s Offi ce” at 1009 Main Street.
Susan Boone opened Union County Arts, a gal-lery of more than 30 art-ists’ work, in the Historic Dr. John Harvey Carr Home three years ago.
Dr. Carr (1888-1936) graduated from the Univer-sity of Tennessee Medical School in Nashville in 1900 and practiced medicine in Maynardville for 36 years. He married Ida Snodderly who is widely remembered for teaching piano from their home.
The art gallery is a fl ag-ship for revitalization of downtown Maynardville and a wonderful retail out-let for Union County art-ists. Dr. Carr’s Offi ce, a tiny building on the corner of the property, is used for painting classes taught by local artist Betty Bullen, art shows and other commu-nity events. Both the home and offi ce will be open for viewing. Sewing classes

hopes the special election for his replacement can co-incide with city elections. It’s a bittersweet goodbye, he says, but he looks for-ward to interacting with his former colleagues through his new role.
One thing that won’t change is his hometown. While he’ll be a “fl oater” during the week, he hopes to return to Knoxville on weekends.
“This is my home. I have every intention of staying here.”
While Haynes was un-opposed in two of his four elections, his fi rst was hard-fought, he says. His limited opposition was due to the strength of the party, he says.
“Good policy makes for good politics. That’s the key to success.”
He recalls his early days in the House of Representa-tives. There were so many people to know and issues to understand that it was “like drinking from a fi re hose.”
His age initially caused some confusion. Some-one on the elevator asked in whose offi ce he worked. Tradition dictates that rep-resentatives razz new mem-bers when they present their fi rst bill, and a fellow leg-islator asked why an intern was allowed on the fl oor.
Before he want to Nash-ville, he didn’t realize how many good people served

How many reading this column can say that a fa-mous race car driver taught you to drive a stick shift? I am proud to say that I was taught by the very best – Mark Martin.
At least the name was the same. My instructor was the Union County Schools’ music teacher who travels to Luttrell, Big Ridge and Sharps Chapel Elementary weekly.
Just as when Bill Cox taught me to drive an au-tomatic, Mr. Martin and I went to Union County In-dustrial Park No. 1 for les-sons. At least 10 years had elapsed, and the place had built up, though not signifi -cantly. Most notably there were some women walking for exercise while their chil-dren played nearby.
My circuitous route obvi-ously disturbed them, for it was not long before a dep-uty arrived. He asked what
Ramp is a perennial wild plant also called a wild leek and is a member of the on-ion family.
What’s in a name?
we were doing, and I re-plied that I was attempting to learn to drive a straight shift, and asked if that was a problem. He replied, “No, these women just thought you might be trying to ab-duct their kids.”
I jokingly replied, much to Mr. Martin’s delight, “Man, we teach school. We don’t even like children.”
We were then left to our own devices, and the pout-ing ladies took their chil-dren and sulked away. Mr. Martin graciously taught me to drive his Toyota.
His fi rst instruction con-
cerned the necessity of not drawing fi rst gear out too long. He started out calmly enough, but I drew it out longer than I should, and Mr. Martin said, “Shift to second. Shift to second. OH GOD, DON’T BLOW UP MY ENGINE!” And I managed not to.
Unfortunately, I was never comfortable driving anything else that was not automatic. I bought a rela-tive’s straight shift Saturn.
Mr. Martin drove it and said it was one of the smooth-est shifting cars he’d seen. I practiced driving up and down my driveway and managed to dig some very large holes in the gravel.
(My lovely neighbor Mar-tha Warwick watched me do this and found it quite amusing.)
I sought advice from a colleague, an individual who notably put on a life jacket each morning and
afternoon when she drove across a bridge to and from work. She said that she kept trying to drive a standard up a hill but kept rolling back until she hit the car behind her. I decided then that automatic was the saf-est and least worrisome way for me.
I traded my manual Sat-urn for its automatic cousin, even though I became a pretty good driver on Mr. Martin’s Toyota (not tooting
my own horn, pun some-what unintentional).
On one occasion I drove from my house to Washburn and back without incident. I did so well that Mr. Martin gave me a certifi cate and de-clared me the fi rst, last and only graduate of the Martin School of Driving. This was a great graduation gift, and it reminded me of a gift I re-ceived for my second gradu-ation. I’ll share that tale next week.
country restaurants in the mountainous regions of East Tennessee from mid-March to the end of May.
For years I had heard of the Ramp Festival held at Cosby, Tenn., but there al-ways seemed to be a reason I couldn’t attend. The Ramp Festival is no longer held at Cosby; however, the Tellico Plains (Ballplay) Ruritan Club adopted the Ramp Fes-tival as a project last year and this year I was able to at tend and enjoy a meal of ramps and potatoes, ramps and eggs, bacon, country
fried potatoes, cornbread and pinto beans.
Ruritan members were doing the cooking outside under an awning in very large, size 24 iron skillets on gas burners. A large variety of desserts were also served as well as a selection of soft drinks. The people were good ole friendly country folk and very attentive and helpful.
One told me they served 500 people last year, and it appeared there were even more this year. I’m guessing their building held 250 to
300 people and seats were taken as soon as someone fi nished eating. The food was delicious and fun.
A few local people around my cousin Barbara Bennett and me told us some of the local people can ramps. No one brought ramp plants to sell. I was disappointed be-cause I’ve been trying to get a start for years now. I gath-ered from our conversations the local people do not be-lieve transplanting ramps can be done successfully.
The National Park Ser-vice had three rangers there in support of the festival as well as Smokey Bear.
There was music and tents for vendors selling plants, jewelry, Tupper-ware, books and clothing.
When the food service closed, the Ruritans then sold carryouts of whatever food was left,
The prices were unbeliev-ably cheap – 6 sweet pepper plants for $2, miniature Wondering Jew for 50 cents.
It’s a delightful day trip for next year.

Beware of coffee shop debates about Tennessee football. Bruises and even lacerations are possible. Egos can be damaged. Feel-ings may be hurt beyond repair.
I innocently walked into one the other day and was immediately challenged to settle the disturbance.
“Speak up,” said one com-batant. “You know it all.”
“You’ve been around for-ever,” said another.
In commemoration of the NFL draft, at issue was which former Volun-teer, born in Tennessee, played the most pro football games?
Under consideration were Doug Atkins, Bill Bates
Old Vols in the NFL
and Reggie White.Right here, out of courte-
sy, we pause for two seconds so you can vote.
Pause over.Atkins, defensive end
from Humboldt, played in 205 pro games (mostly Chi-cago). He struck fear into the hearts of quarterbacks and sometimes alarmed rival linemen assigned to block him. He is one of the
really big men in the college and pro halls of fame.
Bates, defensive back from Farragut, played in 217 games, all with the Cow-boys, and fi nished as one of the all-time stars of special teams. He has coached and also distinguished himself as a father.
White, a rare gladiator who included foes in his prayers and then dented their helmets, made the trip from Chattanooga to UT to Philadelphia to Green Bay and fi nally to Carolina. He played in 232 NFL games over 15 seasons.
Before anyone could ask, I told them Reggie inter-cepted three passes, scored two touchdowns and had
198 career sacks. That made an impression.
“You are pretty smart,” said one listener.
“I have a reference li-brary,” said I.
The coffee caucus seemed surprised to learn that homegrown Raleigh McKenzie from Austin-East played center and guard in 226 pro games, mostly for Washington but two years each for Philadelphia, San Diego and Green Bay.
One budding genius sud-denly remembered that Raleigh works for his twin brother Reggie as a scout for the Oakland Raiders. Reg-gie is general manager and also a very famous father. His son, former prep star Kahlil McKenzie, defensive tackle, 6-4 and 319, is com-ing soon to Tennessee.
Reggie is very smart but
did not play nearly as many NFL games as Raleigh.
It took time to return to the subject, Tennessee-born Vols who survived the rigors of pro football for extended periods. If you are guessing, offensive linemen do have a better chance for longevity than backs, receivers and linebackers.
Judge Tim Irwin, for-mer Central High tackle, played in 201 games, almost all with the Minnesota Vi-kings. Chad Clifton, from Martin, played in 158 for the Packers. Mike Stratton of Tellico Plains played 156 for Buffalo. Bruce Wilker-son, from Loudon, played in 147, mostly for the Raid-ers. Harry Galbreath, from Clarksville, made it through 141 with Miami, Green Bay and the New York Jets.
Nashville tackle John
Gordy, teammate of John Majors, did 134 NFL games for the Detroit Lions. De-fensive tackle John Hen-derson (Nashville) had 133. Cleveland’s Bob Johnson was Cincinnati’s center for 126 games. Linebacker Al Wilson (Jackson) lasted for 125. Linebacker Mike Cofer (Rule High, Knoxville) played 123.
Don’t set this list in stone. Jason Witten (Eliza-bethton to Dallas) has es-tablished a few records and is gaining on 200 games. He holds the NFL record for consecutive starts by a tight end and is third all-time to reach 10,000 yards in receptions.
One or more of the Colquitts (Knoxville) may kick forever.Marvin West invites corrections from
in state leadership. He ap-plauds the work of Gov. Bill Haslam, House Speaker Beth Harwell and Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey given their small salaries.
He plans to use his expe-rience to encourage other young people to get involved in politics. It’s a hard sell these days, but people like voting for energetic candi-dates who are new on the scene, he says. Knox County has a track record of send-ing young leaders, like Ja-mie Woodson and Shop-per-News publisher Sandra Clark, to Nashville.
His predecessor, Chris Devaney, left the GOP in “wonderful condition,” and Haynes hopes to make a ro-bust effort to recruit young, Hispanic and minority vot-ers. He also plans to solicit volunteers to work in elec-tions in surrounding states.
Ryan Haynes From page 4
He won’t admit to a favor-ite presidential candidate. The GOP has the strongest set of candidates in years, he says, and he’ll work with each of them as they come through the state.
Haynes is looking for-ward with excitement while looking back with gratitude.
“It’s been a pleasure to serve the citizens of this area.”
UCHS tennis teams wrap up yearDespite setbacks, Union
County tennis still had an exceptional year, according to coach Kathy Cox.
The fi rst challenge was fi nding boys to play. “We ended up with four boys on the team and they had the heart and desire to make this a good year. They knew that every game they start-ed, they were already three games down.”
Junior Zack Walker, sophomore Nathan Capps, senior Jacob Cook and sophomore Seth Beeler fi n-ished 7 and 4.
The No. 1 doubles team of Walker/Capps went 7-1 in the district and 8-2 overall,
advancing to district play at Pigeon Forge.
The girls ended their season 8 and 3. No. 1 seed Sierra Clabough, a junior, entered the tournament in singles with a 9-2 record. She lost only to a Grace Christian Academy player who was No. 2 in the state in doubles last year and Pigeon Forge.
No. 2 seed Sierra Wom-ble, a junior, ended her sea-son 10-1 with her only loss to Grace (doubles partner of No. 2 in the state).
Tamara Summers, a soph-omore, ended her season 6-2, advancing to the district tournament in doubles.

I have been watch-ing the trees outside our kitchen window. The buds were visible for what seemed forever before any single one of them decided to open, even a little. Now, the maple tree is in full leaf, green, green against the blue sky.
The other tree is shyer. It remained in the bud much longer than its companion, and is just now showing lovely ovate leaves of scarlet, with a lace of fuzz along its edg-es.
I frequently think God is a show-off in the au-tumn – the leaves of gold and red and bright yel-low cuddling up to deep green, like a debutante looking for a foil.
And April can be dif-fi cult, as I mentioned last week, but sweet, gentle May is among the kindest of the months. God settles down to paint more like an Impressionist than a Renaissance artist.
In olden days, folks who had been cooped up
See, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth, I tell you of them.

Ag students making farmers saferBy Libby Morgan
Students of Union Coun-ty High ag teacher John Fu-gate are installing rollover protection on older model tractors owned by local farmers at no cost to the farmer.
The program is a Univer-sity of Kentucky research project in which the stu-dents earn community ser-vice hours for installing the safety equipment. They will enter a retrofi tted tractor in the Tennessee Valley Fair competition and are de-veloping an informational brochure to distribute about the program.
The class members are Bobby Dyer, Cody Faulkner, Chenoa Gallagher, Jakob Iaguessa, Cole Kenney, Jo-siah Lamb, Jesse Masingo, Bobby Mink, David Over-ton, J. P. Proffi tt, Blake Rose, Justin Sharp, Tyler Sweet, Jonathan Thomas and Sawyer Walton.
