knows, it is the only built-to-scale earth fort in the United States.
Re-enactors started holding an annual event at the site in 2008. It will be the host of Knox County’s offi cial observance of the 150th anniversary of The Battle of Fort Sanders Thursday to Sunday, Oct. 10-13. (The actual battle took place on Nov. 29, 1863.)
Thursday and Friday mornings are re-served for school group tours.
On Friday afternoon (Oct. 11), the site is free and open to the public for lectures, presentations and military demonstrations about East Tennessee’s participation in the war. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will offi cially recognize the battle’s anniversary during a short ceremony at 4 p.m. A brass band will play Civil War-era instruments and Dan Patterson, the great-great-grand-son of Confederate Gen. James Longstreet, who commanded the Rebel forces during the battle, is scheduled to attend.
Re-enactments of the Battle of Fort Sanders and The Battle of Campbell’s Sta-
tion will be held at 4 p.m. and 2 p.m. re-spectively on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 12-13. For a full schedule of events, discount coupons and more info, visit www.battleof-fortsanders.com.
Admission to the re-enactments is $8 for adults. Children under 6 are admitted free. Families with four or more members pay a maximum of $30. Admission is good for both days. The event will be held rain or shine.
This will be the fi nal year of the re-en-actment. Organizers expect the event to draw the largest number of re-enactors in its history.
The 20-minute battle on Nov. 29, 1863 was a disaster for the Confederates, which had 813 casualties to the U.S. Army’s 13.
The offi cial Civil War Sesquicenten-nial event is sponsored by The Knoxville Civil War Roundtable, Lincoln Memorial University, WBIR-TV, The Civil War Cou-rier, The Camp Chase Gazette, The Citizen’s Companion and the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture.

Volunteer Star nominations soughtNominations for the an-
nual Governor’s Volunteer Stars Award are now being accepted from all areas of Union County. This award celebrates the efforts of those volunteers who strive to im-prove their communities through service.
One youth and one adult volunteer will be selected to receive this award and will
be recognized at the Union County Chamber of Com-merce banquet on Feb. 7, 2014. Later in the month the honorees are invited to Nash-ville to be among recipients from all 95 counties in Ten-nessee to be honored by Gov. Bill Haslam at the Governor’s Volunteer Stars ceremony.
Nominees will be judged based on the community’s
need of the volunteer service performed, initiative taken to perform the service, creativ-ity used to solve a community problem and the impact of the service on the commu-nity.
Nomination forms are available at the Chamber weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1001 Main Street in May-nardville. All nominations must be received at the Chamber by Dec. 1.

Hogskin History Day is a day where I always have a great fun. I visited with and watched Marcia Phelps spin, talked with and watched FCE’s Mary Lou Burch bot-tom a chair and my very favorite stop – a young woman, Cynthia Whitney, churning butter. She passed out samples of whole wheat bread and fresh butter. The home-made bread and but-ter were heavenly.
My table was near the stage so I heard lots of good music.
I fi gured out that the per-formance location has a lot to do with the name of the band. I’ve seen announce-ments such as “Tim Buck-ner and Friends,” but Sat-urday the group was Clinch Mountain Drifters with Tim on Bass, Burl Wynn on guitar, and vocalist Alvis Pugh, whose stage name is “Hank.”

Fun at Hogskin
ville area, joined with Jim Kessinger on guitar, Matt Bryant Chesney on drums, Harold Conley on bass gui-tar with Linda Rogers sing-ing and playing guitar for a Hogskin Hoedown.
Harry Rothwell came from Philadelphia to lead a sing-a-long. The Emancipa-tors followed. This group consists of Guy Larry Os-borne, guitar and vocals, Matt Bryant Chesney and Jon Larsen on Mandolin; Durant Thompson fl ute and vocalist was Narrow Ridge’s own Mitzi Wood Von Miz-ener, daugher of Bob Wood. Tony Van Winkle usually
plays bass guitar with the group but was not able to be there for this performance.
Then on the stage came this vibrant redhead named Tammy Marshall, a Florida native who has adopted us for her new neighbors and friends after relocat-ing to Washburn several years ago. In addition to the mountains, Tammy has a heart and passion for seniors and many of her performances throughout Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia are singing for the residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Tammy belted out Gos-pel tunes such as “God on the Mountain” and “Amaz-ing Grace” from her new CD, which was produced by Bruce Morey, owner of Mossy Creek Studio in Washburn. She concluded her part of the program by leading the lively audience in singing “Rocky Top.”
Tammy is available to
perform gospel, country, oldies and rock and roll. She is blessed with a marvelous, strong voice that she loves to share. If you need a pro-gram for a church service, public or private event, you can email her at [email protected].
Tammy’s folks, Don and Margie Halloran, were able
to make it up from Florida for the Hogskin History Day and to hear their daughter onstage. At a spunky 85 years young, Margie’s latest hobby is making shammy cloth sweatbands and she had a little table set up to sell them at the event. It’s a neat idea to keep the sweat out of our eyes and they
are a big hit in the Florida heat. Margie had decorated the bands with machine embroidery, such as Wash-burn and Clinch Mountain to represent East Tennes-see. Tammy and her family surely enjoy the events held at Narrow Ridge.
The earth oven pizza was a big hit again this year.

Art Gone Wild at the Knoxville Zoo
By Carol Zinavage The Knoxville Zoo re-
cently tapped some unusual talent for its latest fundrais-er, Art Gone Wild.
The animals themselves – including rhinos, rac-coons, beavers, penguins, elephants, zebras, gibbons, chimpanzees, gorillas, ba-boons, lions, tigers, red pandas and a variety of reptiles – did the paintings, which were then offered to art enthusiasts from all over East Tennessee.
Tina Rolen, assistant di-rector of marketing for the zoo, said that proceeds will go toward funding the zoo’s enrichment program, which focuses on the animals’ complete well-being. Daily mental and physical stimu-lation is provided by the use of interesting objects, scents and foods, and training and painting sessions.
The program has the added benefi t of improving the suc-cess of breeding programs.
There’s only one prob-lem, says Leigh Rickey, who works with the great apes.

Open dates are the best of timesNext week is an open
date. Open dates are great. Tennessee almost never loses.

Time off from regularly scheduled programming offers the opportunity to catch up with burning is-sues, whether to pay college football players by the hour, game or touchdown, wheth-er they will unionize and go on strike if no cash is forth-coming and whether Arian Foster committed heresy in admitting he received under-the-table tacos as a Volunteer.
Reactions to the Foster confession came tumbling into my e-mail box.
“Why would a supposed Vol for life kiss and tell?”
“He never looked hun-gry.”
“He must be starving for attention.”
“What I remember most about Arian were his un-timely fumbles.”
Ouch! Considering Fos-ter’s 650 carries, he did not fumble often but his drops were costly. Penn State and Florida returned loose balls for touchdowns. Miscues against UCLA and Auburn are still blamed for lost games.
■ Lane Kiffi n has been available for a week and still no hint of employment. Wonder why nobody ever linked Lane with the Reggie Bush scandal at Southern Cal? He was in the neigh-
borhood.Do you think the next fa-
mous coach of the Trojans will keep ex-Vol Tee Martin as an assistant?
■ Stone engraver Buddy Mulkey has added a host of new names to the Tennes-see lettermen’s wall of fame. Old Vols, bless them, pay the bill.
Be reminded that Pat Shires, Gordon Polofsky, Gene Moeller and Bob Davis devoted many, many hours to transform a dream into this forever monument.
■ Sixty years ago stu-dent spirit was thought to be very, very weak at the University of Tennessee. With a goal of waking up the echoes and bringing down the thunder, the UT Pep Club conducted a con-test to choose the school’s fi rst mascot. The winner was a perfectly formed blu-
etick coonhound – friendly, active, intelligent.
Tom Mattingly’s book about the Smokey lineage and what happened when is educational for the mod-ern fan and a treasure for us old-timers. This is an unso-licited endorsement.
■ There is a movement among certain former ath-letes to capture a piece of the plump college pie. Fo-cal point is the so-called Ed O’Bannon lawsuit about dollars changing hands between EA Sports, the NCAA, member institutions and Collegiate Licensing Company.
Ed, the former UCLA basketball player, and oth-ers who joined this legal chase say everyone seems to be profi ting from video games except the student-athletes, whose likenesses drive the large industry.
The NCAA severed affi li-ation with EA Sports and is trying to escape the net.
Several current colle-gians, attracted to the idea of sharing loot, joined the suit. Off to the side is de-veloping idea of boosting scholarships to cover the ac-tual cost of going to school – an occasional date, iPhone 5, a full tank and sharper shoes.
■ Sharing proceeds with football and basketball players isn’t totally illogi-cal. I do believe they are the game. But how about cross-country runners, golfers and rowers who generate no revenue? At most schools, they live off football profi ts. Should they receive supple-mental pay?
Dare not exclude women who spend much but earn little. The feds have a law to defend.
The next development is the formation of the Na-tional College Players Asso-ciation, an advocacy group founded by former UCLA football player Ramogi Huma. It wants value add-ed to scholarships, better health care for college ath-letes and the removal of NCAA restrictions on part-time jobs.
This group is not yet called a union but it looks and sounds like one. If it is a union but fails to negoti-ate signifi cant gains, how far away is the fi rst college football strike? An hour be-fore kickoff? After the band plays the national anthem? What happens to poor little ESPN?
And what happens to fans in this forthcoming confl ict?Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected].

You fi nd scoundrels ev-erywhere, I suppose. And as Raymond Burr commented in one episode of “Ironside:”
“I haven’t been disillu-sioned since I discovered ice
cream cones were hollow.” Recently, however, I have
been disillusioned ... but, fi rst, let me give you some background.
My husband is a tax ac-
‘Blessed’ moneySo (the Pharisees) asked him, “Teacher, we know
that you are right in what you say and teach, and you show deference to no one, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” But he perceived their craftiness and said to them, “Show me a denarius. Whose head and whose title does it bear?” They said, “The emperor’s.” He said to them, “Then give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were not able in the presence of the people to trap him by what he said; and being amazed by his answer, they became silent.
(Luke 20: 21-26 NRSV)
countant. His profession is a peculiar mix of counselor, adviser, teacher, police offi -cer, friend, lawyer and dad-dy. He knows more about people’s lives than anyone except their pastor or their doctor. His clients trust and respect him. He is honest and forthright, compassion-ate yet fi rm, knowledgeable
and thorough. He deals with people from all walks of life, and for the most part he is unfazed by what they say to him.
One day, a man came to the offi ce for Lewis to do his tax return. He had listed his gifts to the church (which are nontaxable – no prob-lem there), but had failed to include that money as in-come to begin with.
Lewis said, in effect, “Sorry, pal. You can’t do that. You have to declare the income, and then you can deduct your gifts to the church.”
“Oh, no,” the man ob-jected. “I gave that money
to the church. It is blessed money, and does not count as income.”
Now, in my church tradi-tion, the offering is received by the ushers, laid on the altar table, prayed over and blessed by God. So it is true that money given to the church is blessed and used for the furtherance of the Kingdom.
Even so, it still counts as income when the tax col-lector comes around. Then you can deduct it. I am sur-prised, shocked, and, yes, disillusioned when a fellow American (especially one who claims to be a Chris-tian) cheats on his taxes.
I may be weird, but I have never objected to paying my taxes. I am blessed to be an American citizen. I have earned a reasonable living, and I have enjoyed the pro-
tection and services of a sta-ble government. I have also, at times, claimed my right to criticize said government.
Jesus’ point in his re-sponse to the Pharisees was that they owed their taxes to the much-hated Roman government, and that they also owed their tithes and their hearts and their souls and their very lives to God.
It is a lesson we all need to hear and heed.
As I write, our govern-ment has just shut down. (So much for a stable gov-ernment!) My husband, however, assures me that October extensions are still due. So, perhaps the adage is true: the only sure and certain things in life are death and taxes!
Well, death, taxes and the love, grace, and mercy of God.

6 • OCTOBER 5, 2013 • UNION COUNTY Shopper news
By Shannon PerrinOctober is a busy month
in the garden says Jason Reeves, research horticul-turist and garden curator at the University of Tennessee Gardens in Jackson, Tenn.
Reeves’ tips for October include:
■ Now is a good time to plant trees and shrubs since dormant plants will be under less stress. Newly installed deciduous plants require almost no watering during the winter months, but don’t forget a thorough initial watering, which is paramount. Monitor newly planted evergreens such as
junipers, hollies and arbor-vitae for watering needs if rain is sparse. Even in win-ter, a plant with leaves on it will transpire. Winter wind drying can hurt an ever-green tree that lacks suffi -cient moisture.
■ To make leaf removal less of a chore, rake them before they accumulate deeply. If you have a fes-cue lawn or moss garden, it is even more important to keep the leaves off of it. Compost or use them as mulch in your beds. You can also till them into your soil, and by spring they will be composted. Leaves on the
lawn can be chopped with the lawnmower and left in place if not too deep.
■ Remember that sea-sonal mums are more valu-able as compost than as “keep around plants” af-ter they’ve faded. Don’t be tempted to plant them be-cause even if they establish themselves, they rarely live up to your expectations the following year. Chrysanthe-mum “Clara Curtis,” “Ryan’s Yellow” and “Sheffi eld Pink” are good, reliable perennial cultivars that perform well and make good additions to the landscape.
■ October is the pre-

Up on the mountain where the horizons are below you and the sunsets will wear you out, trees are so loaded with apples you can literally hear them groan. The trees are compensating for the past two years of fruitlessness, with late frosts giving the old trees a respite.
I was lucky enough to be up there for a cider press-ing, an event that draws the neighbors on a Sunday af-ternoon to Joe’s off-the-grid cabin to watch, taste and join in the happy work.
A few minutes of raid-

ferred time to plant orna-mental kale, Swiss chard and pansies. These are love-ly additions to the fall and winter landscape, as well as being edible. Look for the winterbor and Russian kales as they are more reli-able in cold weather than the kales known commonly as “fl owering cabbage.”
■ Don’t forget to bring in your tropical plants and houseplants before frost. Many plants don’t like it when the temps drop into the 40s.
■ Wash your pumpkins, gourds and winter squash in a mild bleach solution be-fore displaying or storing to help prevent rot.
And most important, Reeves says, is to take time to sit back and enjoy the beauty of the season as temperatures cool and fall colors dazzle.
ing the lowest-hanging fruit from two or three trees gar-ners us our admission to the pressing, which is as many apples as you can, or care, to bring. (No matter if you show empty-handed, every-one shares in a tasting of the amber goodness.)
Decades of cider-press-ing experience by moun-taineer Joe has led to an effi cient assembly line: the apples come off the truck and get rinsed, picked over for leaves and pieces of branches and rinsed again. For a quicker run through the chipper, Joe has us cut the apples into chunks.
With three or four of us
chopping, it goes pretty quick, with good-natured ribbing when the chipper is ready and the apples aren’t.
In previous years, the chipper was hand-cranked on an antique machine with a heavy fl ywheel, and luck-
ily, a few big strong country chipper, used only for food-stuff, that grinds the apples into rough applesauce.
(It’s good to get the ap-ples ground up that easily, but the generator and the chipper drown out the mu-
sic – but only for a minute each batch.)
Then there’s the wonder-ful pressing, where the juice gushes by gallons from an
oak-staved cylinder.Cups magically appear
to catch a taste of the best drink ever.
Yum.

Your feet are the founda-tion on which the body rests. Estimates are that the average person walks 10,000 steps a day. That comes out to fi ve miles. Even a sedentary person, it’s estimated, walks 1,000 to 3,000 steps a day. The feet are a delicate network of ligaments, bones and tendons; they deserve the best support you can give them. The overall sound-ness of your biomechanical structure depends on them.
Shoes that are exces-sively worn, too big, too small or inappropriate for a particular activity, will
keep your foot from rolling properly when you are in stride. If your feet are not rolling properly–weight transferring from the heel to the toes in a fl uid mo-tion–everything above is put at risk. You may feel it particularly in the ankles, knees, hips and back. When those parts of your body are not operating as they should, problems that might send you to a chiro-practor can ensue.
Shoes are designed for different kinds of activity, particularly those for ath-letics. Some are designed primarily for forward
movement, others for lateral as well as forward movement. Even if you’re not an athlete, you should wear fl at, sturdy shoes that support your feet. In fact, check with your chiropractor the next time you are in the market to buy shoes. The American Chiropractic Association has recommendations for shoes that will help keep your feet healthy.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
MT (5:9)
My heart aches over all the violence in the world, including in my own backyard. War in Syria,
shooting at the Navy Yard, two dead and two injured at a local business in Bean Station, and most recently, in Luttrell a neighbor shoots and kills his neighbor. What a sad litany of violence. Such violence affects those who died, their families, the families of the shooters, the communities where it occurs and the nations of the world.
In the midst of my sorrow, I know that God will heal the wounds of the survivors, but their grief will leave deep scars. Furthermore, the Lord Jesus will forgive those responsible for the fatal shootings if they repent, yet the consequence of their actions remain.
As for the rest of us, Paul reminds us that in the Body of Christ “If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it.” (1 Cor. 12:26) Therefore, as Christians we suffer
Come to the waterwith everyone: the victims’ families and the shooters’ families. We suffer with the communities torn by war and those where security was lost in areas where they thought they were safe. It is like Jesus when he looks over Jerusalem and weeps. He saw the city and wept over it, saying “If this day you only know what makes for peace – but now it is hidden from your eyes.” (Luke 19:41-42)
The suffering of Christ and the compassion of his heart lead to our salvation. Not even death could hold Him down as He rose on the third day. Jesus says, “if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (MT 17:20) Henceforth with faith in Jesus and fi lled with His Holy Spirit, we can move the mountain of violence into a valley of peace. If we are disciples of Jesus and committed to His gospel, it can be done!!
