End of an eraThe end. Well, almost.An era of historical signifi -

cance is winding down. There never has been anything like the Pat Summitt story and it seems unlikely there ever will be.

➤ See Marvin’s story on page 5

Do it yourself!There is really something to

be said for the instruction, “Do it yourself.” It’s the best way to learn, and it’s the best way to excel at whatever you do.

This is the title of the cook-book Evelyn Monroe Johnson wrote for her family – her children and grandchildren. Evelyn was employed many years at the UT Registration Offi ce, but, like many of the rest of us, learned that if you cook, “they” will come.

By Cindy TaylorAccording to artist and sculptor

O.J. Bergeron, if children are dis-couraged around age 10 in their artistic abilities, they may remain put off of trying anything artistic for the remainder of their lives.

That is what happened to Bergeron, but fortunately he re-covered from the discouragement later in life and blossomed into a talented potter, sculptor and later yoga instructor.

“I remember loving to draw, and I remember teachers tell-ing me at about that age that I should view art a certain way,” said Bergeron.

Bergeron was good in math and was encouraged in that direction, even tutoring students his own age. He worked in a corporate job that society led him to, but never that happily.

After an early retirement, Bergeron decided to go back to school to discover himself and the artist inside, as well as the psy-chologist. What he found was an artist who could actually make a living selling his work. He was satisfi ed with his degree in psy-chology and what he had learned but chose to put his fi ne art degree into practice.

“Pottery got me through the door and feeling good about my pursuit, but sculpting with wood, clay and metal was what I was drawn to,” said Bergeron. “Pottery was small change, and all you get out of a spinning wheel is a circle. So I focused on being creative and sculpting large items.”

Bergeron moved to Union County where he and his wife, Beth, now live amongst his art in their retreat in the woods. He continued his pursuit of art at the UT and began sculpting life-size heavy pieces. His preference then was to make art, teach art and make money, which he did for a number of years. He taught a pro-gram he developed called “The Art of Seeing” as a working artist in schools and workshops.

“I made this program to be nonthreatening, to open a door to a young person’s mind,” said Bergeron.

When heart disease struck in 1993, resulting in open heart surgery, Bergeron was told heavy lifting was out. This meant giv-ing up on a wood-fired kiln and large sculptures. But instead of

Sculpting a deliberate lifeBergeron demonstrates the “Tree” yoga posture in his bulb and sculp-ture garden.” Photo by C. Taylor

giving up his art, Bergeron sim-ply took it in a new direction.

“I had practiced and stud-ied yoga since I was 15,” said Bergeron. “It was a natural tran-sition.”

Once he began yoga in high school Bergeron broke school re-cords as a runner. According to Bergeron, yoga is mental as well as physical.

“When your mind is connect-

ed to your body, the potential for optimal performance is there,” said Bergeron.

Now more than 50 years later Bergeron looks to yoga for his artistic expression as well as for exercise. He teaches classes at Court South and at UT for the swim and diving teams.

“I live life deliberately,” said Bergeron. “This is an old concept going back to Thoreau. Yoga is

using your mind by being aware. In the realm of art you are pay-ing attention to what you are do-ing the same way as when you do yoga. You are being sculptural and combining feeling with theproper way to breathe.”

Bergeron has one simple take-away.

“Whatever you do in life should be something that makes you happy. And I am happy.”

cil meeting in February saw a lot of information brought from community members and many deci-sions on how the city can help its residents and the county.

The Luttrell Elemen-tary School PTA is work-ing to restore the conces-sion stand at the ball fi eld behind the elementary school. A power line that fed the concession stand was accidentally broken by someone working on the park, and when KUB was called to restore the power line, they con-demned the power.

“Austin’s mom texted meat 6:55 a.m., and they were already waiting at my door,”said Shoffner. “He was de-termined to be the fi rst one to get to me with his money.”

Hooks raised $116 be-tween Friday and Monday to be the fi rst in the school to turn in money. The matching $100 will be add-ed to his total contribution.Hooks’ largest single dona-tion was only $20, so it took some time and energy to get to $116.

Becky Muncey and Bridget Mathews ap-proached the council with the problem. The council approved $800 to be giv-en to the Luttrell Elemen-tary PTA to help restore power to the stand.

Headrick challenges Fleischmann

Dr. Mary Headrick of Union County recently announced

that she will run for the 3rd Congressional District Demo-cratic primary, to be held Aug. 2.

Headrick graduated from UT with a degree in

math. After a year of teaching at Bearden Middle School in Knox-ville, she became a computer analyst and systems program-mer at Oak Ridge’s federal facility, where she served from 1972 to 1979. During that time, she earned a master’s degree in computer science. In 1983, she graduated from medical school at UT Memphis, later working in many East Tennessee emer-gency rooms and in Crossville Medical Group’s Ambulatory Care Clinic.

“I intend to unseat (U.S. Rep.) Chuck Fleischmann, our current representative, who I feel has placed the interests of his party and the interests of moneyed special groups above the interests of his constituents, whom he swore to serve.”

If you’ve gone to see a chiropractor because of a back problem, you might think it unusual that he or she pays so much attention to your legs. But remem-ber, your feet and legs are the foundation that sup-ports the rest of your body. Ideally, you were born with legs of the same length. But even if you were, tightened muscles can pull bones slightly out of line – in the legs and other parts of the body – and cause problems, in-cluding in the back. When your legs are of even slightly different length, whether because of a congenital or functional issue, it’s like constantly walking on uneven ground. The result is that everything above the legs, including the sacroiliac joints, which connect the pel-vis to the spine, is slightly out of alignment. Muscles in misaligned areas will adjust to counter the imbalance and can pull bones out of line.

Chiropractic treatment can ease the problem if it stems from tightened muscles, which is a functional problem. If a shortened leg is a congenital condition, the chiropractor may refer you to, or confer with, a podiatrist, a physician who specializes in the treat-ment of the lower leg and feet. They may be able to design an orthotic device, an insert that goes inside a shoe and can correct the imbalance. Talk with your chiropractor about the importance of your feet and legs and about ways to keep them functioning properly.

Business of the weekAmerican First Financial Services

By Cindy TaylorInterest rates are still

near histor-ic levels and the folks at Ameri-can First F i n a n c i a l want to help you make the move from rent-ing to own-

ing. American First owner

and CEO Melinda Wilson Sharpe started the company in 2003 after moving back to the area from Georgia.

“If you’ve been renting for a long time, now may be a great time to consider the move to home owner-ship and locking in on these low rates for years to come,” said Sharpe. “If you want to buy but lack the money for a large down payment, you may want to think about

getting an FHA loan where you only need a down pay-ment of 3.5 percent.”

American First also of-fers 100 percent fi nancing when the buyer and the property meet Rural Devel-opment/USDA guidelines.

According to Sharpe, the best thing anyone can do is watch their credit scores. Loan products today are based mainly on credit scores focusing on the mid score of 620 plus. Sharpe offers fi ve tips for improving your credit score. Get copies of your credit report and make sure the information is correct. Pay your bills on time. Understand how your credit score is determined. Learn the legal steps to take to improve your credit re-port and beware of credit-repair scams.

American First is a mort-gage broker licensed to do business in six states. The

company has grown from one branch to more than 15 in multiple states and em-ploys more than 25 licensed mortgage loan originators partnering with more than 28 lenders to offer residen-tial and commercial loan programs. American First is registered in the NMLS according to the S.A.F.E. Act regulations, is an equal housing lender, and mem-ber of the National Asso-ciation of Mortgage Brokers and state affi liates.

“We have purchase and refi nance at competitive rates,” said Wilson. “Wheth-er you are a fi rst-time home buyer or a seasoned pur-chaser, we want to work for you to meet your mortgage needs.”

Chamber votes for 2012

plan, new board memberThe Union County Cham-

ber of Commerce spent the February meeting catch-ing up on progress that has been made during the fi rst two months of the year and adopting a plan for the re-mainder of 2012.

Anita Kardatzke from National College brought information to the Chamber about enroll-ment and grants. Photo by C. Taylor

Committees were ap-pointed and plans adopted for strategic planning, tour-ism, a standard operating procedure and next year’s Chamber banquet.

Jenny Boggs was select-ed to fi ll a vacant seat on the Chamber board. Boggs rarely misses a board meet-ing, is employed by Abun-dant Health and Wellness, and represents the health-care community.

The Chamber banquet for this year was deemed a success by the board with more than $8,000 raised and around $2,000 in ex-penses. This will go to-ward the purchase of one Civil War Trail Marker for Union County and get close to the amount needed to

purchase a second marker.Guest speaker Anita Kar-

datske spoke on the ben-efi ts of attending National College of Business and Technology located in West Knoxville. National College is a nationally accredited career college whose credits can transfer.

“We do market studies to identify the classes and programs we offer,” said Kardatske. “The majority of our students are already employed but need a degree to advance further in their fi eld. We can help with that.”

The college offers free tu-toring to students as well as opportunity grants to those who qualify. Those seek-ing more information can call 888-956-2732 or go to

www.National-College.edu.The board set up a new

policy for charitable do-nation requests and also elected to participate in the White Lightning Festival in Cumberland Gap in June pending approval from County Commission of a $50 booth cost.

Following the reading of the treasurer’s report by Chamber treasurer Kay Jones, Chamber president Julie Graham informed the board of a recent review that had been done of the Chamber’s books.

“We were examined line by line and found to be very transparent and impres-sive in how we keep our ac-counts,” said Graham. “We actually have a separate set of books just for the tour-ism dollars just so we can stay accountable.”

The Union County Cham-ber of Commerce meets at noon each second Tuesday at the Chamber offi ces.

There is really something to be said for the instruc-tion, “Do it yourself.” It’s the best way to learn, and it’s the best way to excel at whatever you do.

This is the title of the cookbook Evelyn Mon-roe Johnson wrote for her family – her children and grandchildren. Evelyn was employed many years at the UT Registration Offi ce, but, like many of the rest of us, learned that if you cook, “they” will come.

Eventually, I’m sure she got so many requests for recipes and how to do this or that, it was just easier to sit down and write them a book. Her daughter-in-law actually asked her to write down all her recipes in her own handwriting. On Eve-lyn’s 80th birthday Evelyn’s family, extended family, three UT bosses and 20 stu-dent workers who worked in her offi ce many years ago all came to Townsend to cel-ebrate the unveiling of “Do it Yourself.”

Evelyn’s two sons are Tony and Danny. Tony is the pastor of Crossway Baptist Church in Murfreesboro and can be seen on Mondays at www.crosswaybaptist.com. Danny is affi liated with Hy-att Hotels at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando. Some years ago, Evelyn moved

from Union County to Mur-freesboro to be near Tony and his family.

While the book was writ-ten for Evelyn’s family, in many ways it is a history of Union County cooking. Evelyn grew up in Union County, the daughter of Walter and Vada Lynch Monroe – sister to L.D. She’s the granddaughter of Judge William Preston and Callie Edmondson Monroe as well as Charles H. and Della Nash Lynch. I know her recipes are drawn from both families’ traditions.

Judge Monroe attended law school at Cumberland College in Lebanon, Tenn. Evelyn still has a shoe box of letters from him written in 1911. Judge Monroe’s vote helped get the Women’s Suf-frage Act passed in Tennes-see. He was a Circuit Court judge as well as a state sena-tor; however, he died much too early of Lou Gehrig’s dis-ease at age 53. Both Judge Monroe and Lou Gehrig were patients at the same time at the same hospital in Philadelphia. The two families became acquainted and Mrs. Monroe and Mrs. Gehrig corresponded for a while. During the Judge’s illness, Evelyn was about 8 or 9 and would sit with him and call her Mamaw Callie if he needed anything.

Evelyn Johnson is the author of “Do it Yourself,”

a cookbook and a piece of Union County history.

Do it yourself!

TALES OF UNION COUNTY | Bonnie Peters

Maynardville had a dif-ferent setting at the time Evelyn was growing up. She says Grandpa Press and Ma-maw Callie, who lived a few feet from the courthouse, had a garden, fruit trees, berries, a cow and chickens, and a barn across old High-way 33. She says her grand-ma cooked the freshest and best, but she never saw her have a cookbook. Evelyn re-calls that her Mamaw Mon-roe would pin a list to her dress and send her to Walt Baker’s store. She would give her an egg to swap for candy, and he would charge the rest. One day, Evelyn went to the old kitchen cabinet drawer and helped herself to an egg and went to the store. She says she looked around and picked up an angel food cake. Walt asked her, “What do you want with your egg?” She said, “Dis this.” She says he never quit telling that story.

Spoody’s Pecan Pie has an interesting lineage. Lou-venia “Aunt Vene” Sharp Ousley gave the recipe to her daughter, Drama Ousley Beeler, who gave the recipe

to Jessie Lynch Booker, who gave the recipe to Spoody (Mona Lynch George), who gave the recipe to Evelyn.

After some years as a Union County elementary school teacher, Evelyn’s mother, Vada, opened a restaurant across from the courthouse (her cousin Clifford Stiner’s buildings), called the Star Café. In no time, the restaurant was al-ways packed. People drove from miles around to enjoy Vada’s cooking. The restau-rant operated from 1952 to 1977. Some of Vada’s staff members at the Star Café were Lorene Sexton Sim-mons, Marie Wilmouth, Alice McCaleb and Johnnie Campbell.

“Do it Yourself” includes many valuable details and suggested brands that make all the difference in a successful dish. One de-tail is that it takes 13 min-utes to boil a “hard-boiled egg.” Evelyn says you must use fresh-squeezed lemon juice, not concentrated canned juice.

Some favorite brands listed in the book are:

Campbell’s Cream of Chicken/Mushroom soup in the same can, Pet and Carnation evaporated milk, Blue Bonnet marga-rine, White Lily self-rising, unbleached f lour, JFG cof-fee (1 teaspoon per cup. Evelyn says you can’t read the paper through it, but neither will it walk to the table!), Hellman’s mayon-naise.

There’s lots more advice sprinkled throughout the book.

I had never gotten up the nerve to try making hot tamales until I read Evelyn’s recipe. I not only made them, but I will use her recipe and make them again next winter. The fol-lowing is an Evelyn John-son original:

Kraut DumplingsBake two racks of baby

back ribs. To prepare, wash, salt, pepper and sprinkle with lots of onion powder. Stand on edge and pour 2 inches of water in bottom of pan. Cover and cook un-til tender. This takes two or more hours. Pick meat off

bone and set aside. Strain and save broth.

One box lasagna. Break each lasagna noodle intothree pieces, add water andcook until tender. Don’tdrain. Set aside and the la-sagna will absorb the water.

Then add broth fromribs. Add two cans of kraut(drained), then simmer for30 to 40 minutes.

Add the pork ribs last and don’t stir after you addthe meat. You can layer themeat and noodles in a crock pot if you choose.

Serve with greens, corn-bread, onion, white beans and a smile!

Oh! Weary mothers, roll-ing dough,

Don’t you wish that food would grow?

How happy all the world would be,

With a Cookie Bush and a Donut Tree.

TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

End of an era

CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton

Have mercy on me, O God,According to your steadfast love;According to your abundant mercyBlot out my transgressions.Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,And cleanse me from my sin.

– Psalm 51: 1-2 NRSV

Loss and possession,Death and life are one.There falls no shadow whereThere shines no sun.

– Hilaire Belloc

Sunshine and shadow

As I write, days ahead of pub-lication, Ash Wednesday is

looming. It marks the beginning

of Lent, a time of self-examina-tion, repentance, reflection and fasting.

The end. Well, almost.An era of historical signifi cance

is winding down. There never has been anything like the Pat Sum-mitt story and it seems unlikely there ever will be.

She made the remarkable trip from genuine country girl on a dairy farm to the absolute top of the basketball world. Talent got her started. Work was a big factor. Fierce determination, the will to win, put her on the peak. Among the prizes were Olympic success as player and coach.

Pat is famous for intensity and The Stare. And defense. And dis-cipline. She is big on positive atti-tudes and the Golden Rule.

Been there and done all that and won almost 1,100 games. There are no mountains to climb. She is in the relevant halls of fame. The Tennessee basketball fl oor is named in her honor. She has her

own street. Some day she will get a bronze statue.

Pat has always said it was all about the players but she gets credit for doing more than any college coach and I do believe she did it the right way. She has over-seen the harvest of eight national championships.

Beyond the numbers, she has touched lives, changed lives and encouraged, even demanded, ex-cellence from her Volunteers. She has charted a clear course. She has applauded as hundreds earned de-grees and charged boldly ahead, willing and able to compete in the real world.

In her spare time, Pat has been the best ambassador ever for the University of Tennessee. Andy Holt is runner-up. Peyton Man-ning may someday move into con-sideration.

Oh, I know, I’m making a big

fuss and it is only women’s bas-ketball. Well, Pat Summitt took it above fun ’n games when she went public with her affl iction, early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type.

She would, by the grace of God, refuse to surrender. That meant she would fi ght it with both hands and all her might. She would take her medicine and work her puzzles and do all the stimulating mental gymnastics doctors recommend.

Pure Pat quote: “There’s not go-ing to be any pity party.”

Part of the war would be in-creasing awareness. When Pat speaks, people listen. Never has there been such a voice for this cause. Fans and foes joined hands. Her new foundation sprouted wings.

“We back Pat” is more than a slogan. It is a genuine inspiration. I actually bought a T-shirt.

The Patricia Sue Head story started almost 60 years ago in Clarksville. She was fourth among fi ve children in the Rich-ard and Hazel Head family. Dad-dy was tough enough. Mother was an angel.

The Head boys liked baskets and the father put down a fl oor and put up a goal and lights in the large barn. That’s where Trish learned to play, against big broth-ers, push and shove or get out of the way.

She was 5-9 in 3rd grade but

didn’t want to be so tall. Years later, Daddy appreciated

her desire and talent enough to move the family from a brick home in Montgomery County to a cold, two-story frame house in Henri-etta so she could attend Cheatham County High. It had a team.

Trish was multitalented. She was in the 4-H Club. She showed cattle at the fair. She rode horses, barrel races, in Ashland City. She was voted “Most Popular” and “Basketball Sweetheart.”

The gym where she played now bears her name.

UT-Martin wasn’t her fi rst choice for college. It was Rich-ard’s. His perspective mattered. He was going to pay. Martin didn’t give scholarships to women way back then.

She became an All-American. The Martin athletic director pushed her toward the World Uni-versity Games. Because she would play defense and rebound, coach Billie Moore took her to Moscow.

Back at Martin as a senior, Trish suffered a serious knee in-jury. The doctor said fi nished. She never believed it for a min-ute but admitted rehab was much harder than expected. She decid-ed to take her restoration project to Tennessee – as a graduate stu-dent and assistant coach, $250 per month. She moved up before she arrived. The head coach re-

quested a leave of absence. Pat Head, 22, worked on her

master’s, taught classes, coached baskets and put unbelievable ef-fort into rebuilding the bum knee.She got well in time to become co-captain of the 1976 Olympic team.We sat together in the Court of Flags in Montreal and talked forsome time. She was wise beyond her years.

Her rise to coaching immortal-ity was not instant pudding. Shefi rst cut down national nets in her13th season. In the years that fol-lowed, Pat and great players keptcutting.

She became a mother and amillionaire and a legend. She wrote books and should havebooks written about her. The Vol Network produced a magnifi cent three-disc video of her success. My cameo appearance adds little but you really should own the set.

The Pat collection? Naismithcoach of the century. Architect of a perfect season. Winner of lotsand lots of games and the samenumber of titles as Mike Krzyze-wski, Bob Knight and Dean Smith combined.

Without thinking, I assumed good times would go on forever,until she fi nally grew weary of winning. Alas and alas, it didn’thappen that way. Sad, isn’t it? Callit triumph and tragedy.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address iswestwest6@netzero.com.

There are people who dislike Lent and its disciplines, but I am not one of them. Perhaps it is some native melancholy in me that leans into the thorns. I learned pretty young that life has valleys as well as mountaintops, and one had best be prepared to experience them both. I believe that the depths of life, as well as the heights, expand our souls.

So I love the somberness of the Ash Wednesday service.

I love that the ashes used in the service are traditionally from the burning of last Palm Sunday’s palm branches, a sym-bolic linking of one Easter cycle to the next.

I love the texts that are read (especially David’s psalm of con-trition, quoted above), the peni-tential music, the silences, the acknowledgement of our human-ity and our sinfulness.

I love that we can be hon-est with God, that we can admit to God what we know to be true about ourselves. I love the idea that God hears our confession with compassion and forgiveness.

I love that God loves us enough not to say, “Oh, that’s OK.” I love that God loves us enough to say “You break my heart, but I love you anyhow.”

I love that God keeps trying. And so I keep trying too, to be-come the person that God envi-sioned when God thought me up.

All of that is tangled up in Ash Wednesday for me.

And so, by the time you read this, I will have been to church on Ash Wednesday. I will have knelt and confessed that I am a sinner, saved by grace. I will have received the mark of my sinfulness smudged onto my forehead, and I will have worn it all day as a reminder to myself, and as a confession to everyone who saw me.

And if Hilaire Belloc is right at all, that “Death and life are one,” and that sunshine and shadow are inextricably linked, then I will know that it is only because the bright light of God’s love shines on me that the shadow on my forehead – the shadow of my sinfulness – is so visible.

“There was no comparison between how the girls played the fi rst game and how they fi nished the season,” said Wil-son. “In the last seven games we never suffered a loss.”

“I was voted most ath-letic when I was in high school, and all I cared about was making a good enough grade to play ball,” said Williams. “In college I tore everything in my foot

and my sports career was over. I had to pay attention in class after that and went from a C student to hon-ors. More education equals more opportunities.”

Oaths were also adminis-tered to the vice president, secretary, Senate and House of Representatives. Presi-dent Hunter Collins takes his election very seriously.

“I’m pretty much a big history nerd, so I am very happy for the privilege toserve as president of theHistory Club, and it was anhonor to be elected by my peers,” said Collins. “My fellow officers and I planto do our best to fulfill our obligations to the membersof the club.”

“Jerry’s dad was a wrestler and talked Jerry into going out for wrestling,” said Bloss-er. “He is exactly what coach-es look for in an athlete and a student. He is very gifted and well rounded. He is success-ful in the classroom, the arts and athletics.”

Myers placed fourth in the Region 2 tournament in early February to advance to the state tournament in Nash-ville.

Although he did not win at state, being the fi rst fresh-man to make it that far is quite the honor.
