By Libby MorganWhen is the last time you put

a bite of truly prime beef in your mouth? Maybe never, unless you’ve paid a pretty penny for it at a restaurant, or you grew your own.

Prime beef in the United States is a rare commodity, but the fi nest, most tender beef is available right here in Union County.

“Our cattle graze on rotation through our fi elds, they drink fresh spring water and they are never fed antibiotics or hor-mones,” says Rick Riddle, co-own-er with his wife, Donna, of Seven Springs Farm in Maynardville.

The Riddles are raising grass-fed Angus on some of their 370 acres, a farm that’s actively pro-ducing a wide range of vegetables, berries and tomatoes in an amaz-ingly short time frame since the family bought the land in 2005.

Right now an acre of blueber-ries is poised for picking soon, tomatoes are coming on in their protected garden, green beans are poking up out of the ground, and the fi rst crops of sweet corn are planted. Grapevines bearing mus-cadines and concords are stout and healthy.

A recent post on Facebook by Donna says, “…he (son Jim) and Rick hand-planted over a thou-sand tomato and pepper plants yesterday. Thanks for your hard work.”

So far this spring, the Riddles have been taking beef, asparagus, kale, spinach, Swiss chard, on-ions, radishes and more to farm-

Carter contract OK’dBy Sandra Clark

Dr. James E. “Jimmy” Carter will make $93,900 annually for four years as director of Union County Public Schools un-der a contract ad-opted May 23.

The vote was close. The con-tract was ap-proved by school

board members David Coppock, Gerald Smith, Brian Oaks and Brad Griffey. Bill Sexton voted no, Marty Gibbs passed and Danny Wayne Collins was absent.

Sexton said later he has no problems with Carter, but he was not willing to approve a four-year contract. Gibbs had attempted to make the contract for two years on a motion that failed.

Carter said a 2-year contract could “create dissension in the ranks” as others jostled for the top job.

Attorney Mary Ann Stackhouse said the board is protected by lan-guage that allows for termination for cause.

“(Jimmy) Carter is a well-known quantity,” said Coppock.

Negotiations were mild and Carter drew a chuckle when he suggested fewer vacation days than the sample contract allowed. “I don’t take vacations much,” he said. “And I don’t feel comfortable

WALKER’S FORD★ ★ ★

“A pretty little repulse”

K N O X V I L L E C A M P A I G N

Walker’s Ford, about three miles northeast ofhere, was of strategic importance during the CivilWar, and Union and Confederate forces clashedthere late in 1863.

As Union Gen. William T. Sherman andhis army approached Knoxville from Chat-tanooga, Gen. Orlando B. Willcox ordered his

cavalry to pressureConfederate Gen.James Longstreet’sforces from the northto support Sherman.Willcox sent a mountedbrigade under Col.Felix W. Graham southof Clinch River to

Maynardville. Long -street countered byordering Gen. WilliamT. Martin’s cavalry up from south of May-nardville to stop theFederal advance.

Realizing thathe could be surroundedin Maynardville, Graham marched northeast andcamped a few miles south of Walker’s Ford. Earlyon December 2, Martin surprised the Federalsthere and began pushing the outnumbered troop-ers back toward the Clinch River. Willcox arrivedwith two regiments of Indiana infantrymen tobeat back the Confederate attack and cover thecavalry’s retreat.

Early in the fight, Martin attempted toflank the Federals by seizing the next ford, butGraham had observed a gray-clad column ride to the east and correctly deduced its destination.He sent Col. Horace Capron and his 14th Illinois

On November 4, 1863, to divert Federal forces from Chattanooga, Confederate Gen. James Longstreet

led two reinforced divisions from the city to attack Union Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside’s garrison in Knoxville.

Burnside confronted Longstreet outside Knoxville, then withdrew to his fortifications on November 17, and Longstreet

besieged the city. In Chattanooga, after Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s army defeated Confederate Gen. Braxton

Bragg’s forces at the end of the month, Grant ordered Gen. William T. Sherman to reinforce Burnside.

As Sherman marched toward Knoxville, Longstreet withdrew on December 4. Sherman soon rejoined Grant.

“On the whole it was a pretty little repulse.”— Gen. Orlando B. Willcox

Cavalry to defend the crossing, and armed with 16-shot Henry rifles and four mountain how-itzers, the regiment held its ground. The Confed-erates returned to Knoxville the following dayand prepared to go into winter quarters at Rus-sellville when Longstreet abandoned the siege on December 4.

Walker’s Ford

Walker’s Ford saw pivotal action

By Libby MorganThe Chamber’s initiative

to remember Union Coun-ty’s involvement in the Civil War has come to be, with a project that has been in the works for a couple of years.

The historic marker has arrived, commemorating a skirmish at Walker’s Ford, the Clinch River crossing north of Maynardville, and its importance described, in the words of General Orlan-do B. Willcox, “On the whole it was a pretty little repulse.”

Chamber president Julie Graham says, “Help with re-search of the project (which began in late summer 2011) came from Steve Epperson and Ohio State University archives. Private donations (with a generous donation from an anonymous bene-factor) were raised at the 2012 Chamber banquet with assistance from Smiley Clapp. The fi nal edit for the marker was completed by Dr. Carroll Van West.”

Van West is the director of the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area and Center for Historic Preser-vation at MTSU.

The marker will be in-stalled near Walker’s Ford at Hickory Valley Baptist Church in a ceremony June 3 at 10 a.m., and reads:

“On November 4, 1863, to divert Federal forces from Chattanooga, Confederate Gen. James Longstreet led two reinforced divisions from the city to attack Union

On Monday, June 3, at 10 a.m. this historic marker will be placed near the actual site of the skir-

mish at Hickory Valley Baptist Church.

Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside’s garrison in Knoxville.

“Burnside confronted Longstreet outside Knox-ville, then withdrew to his fortifi cations on November 17, and Longstreet besieged the city. In Chattanooga, after Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s army defeated Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg’s forces at the end of the month, Grant ordered Gen. William T. Sherman to reinforce Burnside.

“As Sherman marched toward Knoxville, Long-street withdrew on De-cember 4. Sherman soon rejoined Grant.”

The story goes on in more detail:

“Walker’s Ford, about three miles northeast of here, was of strategic importance

during the Civil War, and Union and Confederate forc-es clashed there late in 1863.

“As Union Gen. William T. Sherman and his army approached Knoxville from Chattanooga, Gen. Orlando B. Willcox ordered his cav-alry to pressure Confeder-ate Gen. James Longstreet’s forces from the north to support Sherman.

“Willcox sent a mounted brigade under Col. Felix W. Graham south of Clinch River to Maynardville. Longstreet countered by ordering Gen. William T. Martin’s cavalry up from south of Maynardville to stop the Federal advance.

“Realizing that he could be surrounded in May-nardville, Graham marched northeast and camped a

few miles south of Walker’s Ford. Early on Dec. 2, Mar-tin surprised the Federals there and began pushing the outnumbered troopers back toward the Clinch Riv-er. Willcox arrived with two regiments of Indiana infan-try to beat back the Confed-erate attack and cover the cavalry’s retreat.

“Early in the fi ght, Mar-tin attempted to fl ank the Federals by seizing the next ford, but Graham had ob-served a gray-clad column ride to the east and correct-ly deduced its destination.

“He sent Col. Horace Capron and his 14th Illinois Cavalry to defend the cross-ing, and armed with 16-shot Henry rifl es and four mountain howitzers, the regiment held its ground.

The Confederates returned to Knoxville the following day and prepared to go into winter quarters at Russell-ville when Longstreet aban-doned the siege on Dec. 4.”

Installation of the monu-ment should bring visitors to Union County during the Civil War Sesquicentennial as individuals travel across the region to visit battle sites.

The Walker’s Ford monu-ment is part of the Tennes-see Civil War Trails, a his-toric marker program that identifi es and interprets both the great campaigns as well as the lesser-known Civil War places.

The Trail includes inter-pretive markers and an on-line statewide driving tour. It links Tennessee’s sites to Trails programs in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina.

Tennessee Civil War 150 app available: A proj-ect in partnership with the Tennessee Civil War Sesqui-centennial Commission, the iPhone app is now available on iTunes. The free app has received excellent reviews.

In addition to sites marked by the Civil War Trails Program, the Heri-tage Area is rich with places and landscapes that tell the story of the Civil War and its aftermath. Outstand-ing driving tours allow you to experience the Civil War story fi rst-hand.

Daily picking ensures the freshest of everything is taken to market, and the berry patch will be opened to pick-your-own.

“We’re interested in knowing whether we can make a small farm profi t-able, and make it attractive to the younger generation as a career choice,” says Rick, in earshot of their son, Jim, who’s on the farm this sum-mer on a break from college. Jim’s close to getting a de-gree in civil engineering.

“Weather can be so dif-ferent every year. We are irrigating the lower portion of the growing fi eld, and hope we can avoid some of the problems weather can bring.”

Rick, a retired Air Force colonel, and Donna Knox met as students at Central

Country music star Lois Johnson celebrated a birth-day May 15 in a big way.

Friends and family showed up at Golden Corral on Clinton Highway to treat Lois to a surprise birthday party. Her uncle Van Butch-er, her mother’s brother, helps to look after Lois who now has some health issues – especially painful arthri-tis. She lives at an assisted living residence near Nash-ville and also near where her uncle lives.

The Johnson and Butcher cousins were there en masse as well as some pretty high-ranking entertainers – Doyle Lawson of Quick-silver, Paul Williams of the Victory Trio, David West of

Lois Johnson turns ‘umm’Celebrates with big party

Ciderville and others. David brought Lois a little guitar which all the guests signed to remind her of them and the birthday celebration.

Lois’ cousin C. J. Mor-gan, who also has done lots of caregiving for Lois, coor-dinated the party. C. J. has met a new love through her work as a Dolly Parton im-personator and will soon be moving to Las Vegas where she will be appearing with

her new husband, who is a Jack Nicholson imperson-ator. C. J. will be getting married in Wisconsin in her home church so her parents can attend.

Bill Waddell, manager of station WLAF in LaFollette, brought a DVD of some Por-ter Wagoner shows on which Lois made guest appearanc-es. Lois looked to be about 40 at the time and belted out such hits as “Come on in and Let Me Love You” and “Loving You will Never Grow Old.” Van Butcher has promised to send all the attendees a CD of some of Lois’ best songs.

Happy Birthday to Lois and all good wishes to C. J. and her soon-to-be-husband.

Let’s start by agreeing that I know almost nothing about the mandatory health insurance plan commonly called Obamacare.

Call it the fallacy of “free” journalism. Readers get the research that you’ve paid for. But we compensate for our lack of knowledge with passion and strongly held convictions.

Almost 100 percent of folks around here are against Obamacare. Just ask them.

I believe: ■ The current system is

unsustainable. Hospitals and doctors can’t provide free care to people who can-not pay, yet they can’t turn them away. So their costs are passed along to those with insurance.

■ Businesses cannot af-ford ever-increasing health insurance premiums. Ask the automakers. Labor costs including benefi ts put American companies at competitive disadvantage in a global economy, pushing jobs offshore.

■ People should take re-sponsibility for their own health and healthcare.

Do these beliefs put me in the camp of Obamacare? I don’t know.

Let’s bring it home. Do you know that Union County Public Schools pays a sub-stantial “match” for health insurance for both individual and family coverage (which can reach $1,000 per month), yet does not offer a match to non-certifi ed staff such as cafeteria workers, aides, sec-retaries and custodians?

The health insurance quandry

The insurance is avail-able to all, but without a match to the lowest paid employees. This won’t be tolerated when Obamacare kicks in and could cost the school system a half million dollars a year, according to estimates of one school board member. Nobody knows for sure.

County Commissioner Joyce Meltabarger under-stands and has lobbied for more equitable treatment. She works as a para-profes-sional in special education at Maynardville Elemen-tary School where she sees co-workers who desperately need health insurance.

“I’m not talking about myself,” she says. “I’ve got health insurance. But I’m talking about those single moms with children. Be-cause health insurance is offered but they’re not tak-ing it, their kids are not eligible for TennCare. Yet the monthly premium is as much as some of them make.”

A 40-hour worker at $9 per hour grosses $360 per week. That’s before taxes, FICA, food and shelter.

It’s not enough to holler, “No, no, no!” to Obamacare.

Our community must fi nd equitable answers for tough questions. Even if it means reading up on the Afford-able Health Care for Amer-ica Act sometime before it kicks in.

Getting paidEddie Mannis, founder

and CEO of Prestige Clean-ers, says getting paid has always been a priority, but he also is all about customer service.

He learned early that some customers can’t tell the difference between dry cleaners, but everyone knows good customer service.

Mannis is leaving city government where he has served as a deputy mayor, to return to Prestige. He is best known for bringing HonorAir to Knoxville.

HMMS bidsThe school board has

decided it must take bids for work at the new me-dia center at Horace May-nard Middle School. Once Freddie Brasfi eld donated $50,000 in memory of Shir-ley Collins, the money must be treated as public money, thus requiring a bid. (See ads in this issue.)

Chip Brown, project co-ordinator, could leverage $50,000 with donations of labor and materials to get an amazing outcome. Hope-fully, the bidders will be respectful of Brasfi eld’s do-nation and the need for the expanded media center at the middle school.

Bid low, folks!

CrossCurrents

LynnHutton

Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape, neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

(Obadiah 14, King James Bible – Cambridge Edition)

Standing in the Crossway

Through the years, I have been given a lot of crosses.

I have a crocheted cross, handmade by a dear friend. Another cross, given to me by a special friend, was made in Mexico of metal. It is numbered “310,” and signed by A. LaCarte. It looks, for all the world, as if it had been retrieved from a sunken Spanish galleon.

I have crosses made from palm fronds, care-

fully saved from innu-merable Palm Sundays. I have stained-glass crosses and crystal crosses and wooden crosses. I have Celtic crosses and modern crosses and a St. Andrew’s cross. (I even have earrings shaped like crosses, but I have never been able to wear them; they just seem a little too frivolous to me!) I have a silver cross, set with garnets, given to me by my daughter Eden.

She bought it for me one Mother’s Day when she was in high school, even after the sales clerk told her she couldn’t afford it.

I have written in this space before about the very first Maundy Thursday service I had the privilege to attend, in which the in-

dividual cups used to serve the juice were plain paper nut cups. After partaking of the sacrament, we were invited to open the folds of the cup, and when we had done so, we saw the paper was stained in the shape of a Maltese cross.

One of the most haunt-ing crosses I have ever seen was just a shadow. It was a picture on a Christmas card, and the dark shape of a cross fell across the man-ger and the Babe, a fore-shadowing of his future.

I have even had the priv-ilege of walking parts of the Via Dolorosa (the Way of the Cross) and standing in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem – the church that claims to be built on the hill called Gol-gotha. Those experiences

were all but overwhelming.However, to truly walk

in the way of the Cross is to follow Jesus, day by day. It is to be obedient to His way, to be willing to give up one’s own will and way, and to become, step by step, like Him. It is to fol-low, to give, to obey, to suf-fer, and to die if need be.

One who walks with Christ is never alone. Walking with Christ, we learn about him. We also learn things about our-selves we wish we did not have to know.

The Crossway is a cross-roads. It is where we are called upon to make choic-es, to turn our faces in one direction or another, and to hold steady.

Standing in the Cross-way calls us to be true wit-

nesses to Christ. It is an opportunity for growth and for blessing. It is also a risk.

Standing in the Cross-way can be lonely, confus-ing, dangerous and sad. Standing in the Crossway may mean standing alone, being faithful even when Christ seems very far away. Standing in the Crossway means bearing the criti-cisms of those who do not understand, those who dis-agree, those who scoff.

It is the Way of the Cross. It is a path our Lord has walked. It is a place He took a stand on our behalf.

It is the very least we can do. We each have to find our own way, our own place, our own Golgotha.

Where will you stan d in the Crossway?

Among very valuable readers are those who, from time to time, offer guidance and coaching tips on how to write these tales of Tennessee. Email ad-dress at the bottom invites commentary.

I appreciate assistance. I sometimes disagree, but I try to remember to be po-lite and say thank you.

In early December, one reader in particular scoffed at Butch Jones’ “dream job” comment. He is still scoffing. He says UT may have been “a” dream job, considering where the coach had been, but not “the” dream job.

OK, I’m in

His argument has merit: If Alabama, Florida, Mich-igan and Notre Dame had extended simultaneous job offers and the pay was comparable, Tennessee would have finished fifth in Jones’ dream.

Another reader had a lot to say about Butch bringing the “best” coaching staff in America. Much of it came

down I-75 from Cincinnati.This reader had never

heard of Mike Bajakian and couldn’t pronounce his name. He had heard of Willie Martinez and John Jancek and remembered how bad was their Georgia defense and the exact date they were fired.

I acknowledged the messages and moved on. To tell you the truth, blind optimists are more fun than skeptical realists.

In winning his first six months at Tennes-see, Butch Jones has per-formed as if this really is his chance of a lifetime. I do believe he is pleased to be the coach at Tennessee. That is heartwarming.

If the man was being paid by the hour, he would

get a raise. He is excellent at sales. Fans have scram-bled onto the band wagon. Ol’ Vols have offered en-dorsements. Prospective players have demonstrated keen interest. This is very encouraging.

As good as it looks in the preceding paragraph, none of this will make much dif-ference at Oregon. Outsider enthusiasm and two more verses of Rocky Top prob-ably won’t scare the Gators or alarm the Crimson Tide.

Insider enthusiasm might affect some games. If the Volunteers really do work hard at getting bet-ter this summer and if they stay healthy and if they be-lieve miracles are possible, Tennessee might upset somebody big.

That is essentially what Dave Hart said as he pat-ted himself on the back for hiring Butch Jones. He said these Vols are now ca-pable of overachieving.

If it happens, blame it on Butch. He brought a believable plan, brick by brick he calls it, with an emphasis on accountabil-ity. He hired good help, people he knew and could count on without wasting time double-checking to determine which assign-ments were completed.

Jones’ assistants may, in fact, turn out to be among the most functional units. There are recruiting mani-acs in the group. Tireless. Relentless.

Going only on what I hear, I am impressed. Go-

ing on what he has seen and heard, so is the ath-letic director.

Hart says what Jones has done is gratifying, even exciting. His first choice of words to describe the coach is “passionate.”

That’s good enough. Passion had to be part of Jones’ previous success. He has never had over-whelming talent in great numbers. He still doesn’t.

After what we’ve been through, even guarded op-timism is refreshing in Big Orange Country. I have de-cided to join the movement. I’m in – with one out clause.

How long I stay will eventually be determined by wins and losses.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Divorce is a diffi cult and painful process for most people, even if they are able to get along. It is very hard for the children involved.

In Tennessee, the law requires divorcing parents with minor children to take at least four hours of classes about parenting through divorce. The purpose is to help parents understand that, when it is safe, both parents need to spend time with their children after divorce. Also, parents need to work together to plan for their children’s care.

UT Extension offers a class called “Parent-

ing Apart: Effec-tive Co-Parent-ing” that helps parents under-stand the im-pact of divorce

on their children. They also learn ways to help their children through the pro-cess.

People who completed the classes reported that they are less likely to put their children in the middle of their confl icts. They re-ported decreases in the fol-

lowing behaviors: ■ talking to others about

the parent when angry at the other parent,

■ sending messages through the children,

■ insulting the other parent in front of the chil-dren,

■ asking the child about the other parent,

■ asking the child to take sides,

■ arguing in front of the children,

■ complaining to the other parent in front of the children,

■ yelling in front of the children, and

■ fi ghting in front of the children.

The “Parenting Apart: Ef-fective Co-Parenting” class appears to have helped di-vorcing parents to focus on their children’s needs as they have gone through divorce.

Info: Rebecca Hughes, 992-8038. The classes are offered 9-1 the last Tuesday each month. The remaining dates for 2013 are: May 28, June 25, July 29 (Monday), Aug. 27, Sept. 24, Oct. 29, Nov. 26 and Dec. 31.

Beef and Forage Field Day

Shannon

Perrin

An update from

On Thursday, June 13, the annual UT Beef and Forage Field Day will focus on ways to help beef cattle produc-ers manage their production costs. The event is hosted by the UT East Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center and UT Extension Eastern Region. It is being held in conjunction with the East Tennessee Angus Asso-ciation Field Day.

Attendees can hear UT experts address production and management issues including surveying for-age stands and renovating pastures, the use of Eastern gamagrass, marketing live-stock as related to weather issues, fencing laws, and how supplemental feed-ing can affect bovine fetal development. Additional discussions will cover the effect of delaying castra-tion, organic burial of large animals and growing trees for biomass.

Activities will begin with registration and a trade show at 7:30 a.m. Coffee and biscuits will be available.

A youth program will be presented concurrent to the main program, and both programs will conclude with a sponsored lunch. The luncheon speaker will be Lou Nave, executive direc-

tor of the Farm Animal Care Coalition of Tennessee.

Debbie Joines, manag-er of UT Extension’s Soil, Plant and Pest Center, will provide free soil pH analy-ses. Those interested should bring a sandwich bag full of the soil to be tested.

The cost is $10 per per-son preregistered by June 7 ($15 on-site). Preregis-tration is highly encour- aged to ensure an accurate lunch count. Preregister by visiting http://east.tennes-see.edu or by contacting your Union County Exten-sion Offi ce at 992-8038. Those with limited mobility should call 974-7201.

The event will be held at the Blount Unit of the East Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center located at 4341 UT Farm Road, Louis-ville, Tenn., at the intersec-tion of Highway 129 (Alcoa Highway) and Singleton Station Road.

By Emmaline PerryThis article will leave

kids “begging” for more be-cause we are going to the dogs!

My name is Emmaline Perry. I’m in the Smoky Mountain Home-school 4-H program in Maynardville. One of my projects has been Companion animals.

I have three dogs, two cats and a hamster myself.

During this past year I have had the opportunity to volunteer and conduct an after-school Compan-ion Animal class. We have had a blast. Each week has brought us something new, educational and loads of fun.

The fi rst week I gave a speech to the class of 4th and 5th grade students ti-tled: Companion Animals/Animal Abuse and Preven-

tion. I introduced all the kids to my hamster, Timmy-Tom, for a demonstration, and we played dog games, learned about different dog breeds, we even ate like dogs.

Another meeting was a blast when the Union Coun-ty Sheriff’s Offi ce brought in three of their search and rescue bloodhounds. Differ-ent students hid in various

places inside the school and the dogs sniffed them out!!

We had an exciting time when Mary Morgan and Alison Risen brought in an Airedale Terrier and dem-onstrated various training techniques and dog train-ing tools and informed us of different working dog assis-tance programs.

One of the highlights was when the Union County

Union County Sheriff ’s Offi cers Marvin and Missy Carter with search dogs Josey, Rogue and Barnabas. Candy Stooksbury (not pictured) runs the bloodhound search team.

Carson, the white dog, poses with Humane Society offi cial Ja-net McCracken, Emmaline Perry and Ethan Ritter.

Companion animals: ‘Going to the dogs’Humane Society brought a Great Pyrenees that was available for adoption. He was the sweetest dog and very fortunate to have been rescued by the Union Coun-ty Humane Society.

We learned the impor-tance of spaying and neu-tering. Everyone decided to volunteer at the Humane Society. We participated in a dog safety training course. We all need to know how to approach a dog on or off a leash. We should know how to react when approached by a stray animal and learn different types of body lan-guage that dogs display.

This has been a wonder-ful experience for me, and I have enjoyed watching the students learn and have fun. I hope that through these kinds of educational classes students will walk away with a memorable ex-perience, essential skills, and can apply and share all they learn with their fami-lies and friends as well as other students.

Increasing our knowl-edge and improving our skills will help us make better decisions, become responsible pet owners, and practice being good citizens in our community.

When the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers squared off at Super Bowl XLVII in February, the teams brought their ‘A’ games to New Orleans. They also brought their team chiropractors. Just about all professional sports organizations and ath-letes recognize the benefi t of having their bodies in proper alignment before a competition. And profes-sionals from motocross and bull riders, to NFL play-ers and golfers get relief after the competition from chiropractors. The chiropractors aim to ensure that athletes’ joints and limbs are functioning at maxi-mum capacity, for optimal performance on game day.

Chiropractors who work with NFL teams said players will generally get adjusted the night before the game. Overall, the Professional Footbal Chiro-practic Society estimates that during the course of the 16-game regular season, NFL team chiropractors administer between 16,000 and 27,000 treatments to the members of the league’s 32 teams.

The Ravens, of course, won the big game 34-31. If elite professional athletes recognize what a chiro-practic tune-up can do for their already highly-tuned bodies, think what a chiropractic adjustment might do for your game, whatever it may be.

By Libby MorganFriday after Mother’s Day we

buried our mother.Words cannot do justice to wit-

nessing a military funeral at Ar-lington. We knew it was going to be the experience of a lifetime.

Mary Elizabeth Rivero Morgan, better known as Bebe, was ahead of her time. After growing up in Tampa and Havana, she gradu-ated from Florida State College for Women in Tallahassee (now FSU) just when World War II was get-ting serious.

Both our parents were WWII veterans, Daddy seeing action at sea as a navigator and a captain of Coast Guard ships, and Momma staying stateside as a cadet ensign lieutenant in the SPARs (based

The presentation of the fl ag to my sister, Carol Watkins.

My mother’s urn and the

fl ag were carried on a

caisson to the Columbarium. Photos by Libby Morgan

Humbled at Arlington

Lady – a contingent, al-together, of about 40 men and women in uniform, out-numbered our family group by four to one.

Our fi nal walk with Bebe was humbling. I felt I should concentrate on her memory, but the sights and sounds of our procession and the surrounding grounds of the vast cemetery pulled

my thoughts into the pres-ent. The blessing of a loving family: my sister, nephew, children, grandsons and daughter-in-law accompa-nying me in honoring my mother overwhelmed me.

After the eulogy, the fold-ing of the fl ag by six service members was executed with perfect precision and was fascinating to watch.

Momma died a little over a year ago, but it can take a while to schedule an inurn-ment at Arlington, especially when the trip included herd-ing up her busy offspring. She had waited patiently on my fi replace mantle until we took her home to join Daddy in the Columbarium niche wall, just a few miles from where she was born in 1919.

on the Coast Guard motto: “Semper Paratus – Always Ready), the Coast Guard Women’s Reserve.

She trained at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., and entered active service in December 1943. (It would be 30 more years before women were accepted at the academy as regular college-level stu-dents.)

Our father, Carey Carlisle Morgan Jr., graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 1940 as an engineer, but the two didn’t meet until they were both on the west coast celebrating the end of the war.

His ashes were placed at Arlington more than 20 years ago.

Precision is the operative word in any military cer-emony, and even the draft horses pulling the caisson matched perfectly. Mom-ma’s urn was placed inside the fl ag-draped coffi n, along with her fl ag, and we sol-emnly followed on foot.

The weather was exqui-site.
