The Union County Chamber of Commerce is taking the next step on an exciting new plan to help visitors to Big Ridge State Park gain a greater appre-ciation of their surround-ings.

Chamber board member Shannon Perrin and her team of 4-H high school-ers have won a grant to use GPS-based software and equipment to create an electronic map of the trails in Big Ridge, and O’Neill Bergeron, a student of ecology at Princeton, is home for the summer to help with the project.

“This project will cre-ate a visitor experience unknown elsewhere. The park, all about the trails, its history, biology, geol-ogy, and even a blueway around the shore of the park will be mapped and described in a printed piece, on a website, and with a mobile app,” says Chamber president Julie Graham.

Discovering Big Ridge Mapping the diversity of our state park

New chair for Chamber boardDebbie Perry, human resource generalist for

Carmeuse Lime & Stone of Luttrell, has been elected to chair the Cham-ber board, replacing Rebecca Mills who is taking maternity leave. Mills will remain on the board.

Perry also owns First Team Re-alty with her husband, Eddie Perry.

Jamie Branton, coordinator of the Union County Public Schools’ GEAR UP program, was elected to serve on the board.

Chumley touts Jobs4TNAdina Chumley, business

services specialist for the state Department of Labor and Workforce Develop-ment, met with the Chamber board in May, outlining the benefi ts of the state’s website www.jobs4TN.gov/.

“The website acts as a vir-tual recruiter,” she said. “It’s a resource for both employers

and those seeking jobs. Best of all, it’s free. This is your tax dollars at work.

“Jobs4TN is real and it works.”

Chumley is charged with marketing the program for 14 counties including Union.

She announced a work-shop on Drug Free Workforce to start at 8:30 a.m. Wednes-

and avid history buff, will be working with Bergeron and the 4-H group to cre-ate the park guide.

“We have a rich history of people who have lived here – the Native Ameri-cans, the settlers and the farmers who were here when the lake was filled. We were able to preserve

an image of a map that was made by surveyors prior to the dam construction. It shows every landowner in about 1930, and is hanging in our visitor center,” says Nicley.

“The building of the park by the Civilian Con-servation Corps is a fasci-nating story in itself. Then

there’s the story of Sharps Station, a fort built around 1791 where settlers would gather when the Indians were a threat.

“The park guide will contribute to the safety and enjoyment of our trails, and enable our visi-tors to fully discover the diversity of the park.”

According to Graham, the state park people in Nashville are enthusiastic about creating the “tour-ism experience” by adding content including pictures that define each park. Parks will be searchable by interests of potential visitors. Smartphone app developers are involved at the state level, and have offered support to the Big Ridge project.

Bergeron, ever enthusi-astic about the outdoors, is looking forward to explor-ing the park to find adven-ture opportunities such as, possibly, “bouldering,” which is rock climbing at low heights, a popular sport requiring very little equipment.

With his interest and

study in ecology and evolu-tionary biology, Bergeron will be noting the plants and animals of the area, rating the trails for dif-ficulty and distance, and even pointing out the sights from vistas on the high points of the park.

It’s an exciting new concept at the forefront of tourism development in Tennessee.

Upcoming:A follow-up of the pub-

lic input meeting on the future of downtown May-nardville is scheduled for Tuesday, June 11, at 5:30 p.m. at the city hall. The Community Design Center will present the plans and ideas developed from the public brainstorming ses-sion in April.

On June 13 at 8:30 a.m., Tennessee Workforce Em-ployer Outreach Commit-tee will meet at First Cen-tury Bank in Tazewell. The subject is “Drug Free Work Place” and how participat-ing businesses can save money on workers comp premiums.

“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of

mine, you did for me.” (Mt 25:40)

Where on earth can we meet Christ? There are many answers

to this question, but one of the Biblical answers is often overlooked. We can meet Christ in the poor, the hungry, the naked, the prisoner and the stranger. In Matthew 25: 31-46, Jesus tells us whenever we do a kind deed to any of the above we are doing a kind deed to Him. In other words, in these people we may meet Christ.

Seeing Christ in the prisoner, the person on welfare, the undocumented immigrant and the addicted takes an act of faith. To treat these neighbors as I would treat Jesus is a real challenge.Therefore, If I wish to meet Jesus on earth, every time I meet a stranger, see someone suffering from addiction, or visit a criminal – regardless of the crime – I must speak to and treat them as I would our Savior Jesus Christ.

Come to the waterThis does not mean I ignore bad or sinful behavior. Jesus calls everyone to repentance and to believe in the gospel. (See Mark 1:15). Yet in inviting others to fi nd Jesus, who is already searching for them, we must approach them with love, mercy and compassion in our heart.

As we discover in 1 John, “If someone who has worldly means sees a brother in need and refuses him compassion, how can the love of God remain in him? Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” (1 John 3:17 - 18) And in the same letter, “If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. Whoever loves God must love his brother.” (1 John 4:20-21).

Therefore, the concern for the person is primary. Maybe if we offer love and mercy more than vengeance and condemnation, a kinder and more gentle nation under Christ will emerge.

enjoyed circling the block on Lil’ Thunder Railroad. When folks were tired from strolling they found food and snacks galore, then made their way over to the grounds of the Arts Center for a picnic and all-day entertainment.

Renowned entertainer Phil Campbell presented Archie Campbell’s original painting “Just up the Road Apiece” to UC Arts Cen-ter director Susan Boone. Campbell read a note his father had written about the painting.

“I was driving through Union County looking for one of those old-style barns,” wrote Archie. “I saw a fellow walking and stopped to ask if he knew where I could find one. He said he had a neighbor with a barn just like what I was looking for and it was ‘Just up the road apiece.’ As I was painting this pic-ture that phrase kept going through my mind. When days are long and life is busy it’s good to know that the tranquility of coun-try life is ‘Just up the road apiece.’”

The painting will claim a permanent home at the art center.

Campbell entertained with comedy, music and storytelling. Also on stage were Clay Bones, Ralph

Music resounded from the front porch and the street. All entertainers do-nated their time and talent to the event.

Student art was on dis-play in the historic Dr. Carr Medical Office. Tayte Kitts won Best of Show for his graphite work titled “Vietnam Wall.”

First-place ribbon win-ners were Chase Rhodes, Tanner Moyers, Callie Brown and Sydney My-ers. Joshua Lemons, Cal-lie Brown, Robin Johnson, Caleb Key and Eben Han-sen each took home a 2nd-place ribbon and Justin Smith, Chase Rhodes and Meredith Key each won a 3rd-place ribbon.

Sharen Smith won Best Demo for her loom-

weaving demonstration. Blessed Teresa Mission won the People’s Choice for Best booth for the 2nd year. Arlene Sprague won Best of Show for her Intar-sia pieces, and Josh Jones won Item of Distinction for his predator calls.

The Union County Farm-ers Market brought fresh produce and crafts onto Main Street. It will be back at Union County High School for future Saturdays.

The Arts Center celebrat-ed its fi rst anniversary as the hub of the festival. Looks like Art on Main has found a new home on the streets of downtown Maynardville.

Art on Main committee members send out a huge thanks to sponsors with-out whom this event would not have been possible:

Cities of Plainview and Maynardville; Union Coun-

ty government; Hallsdale Powell Utility District; Clay Bones; Norris Shores and Sunset Bay HOAs;

Devoy Brunson, Nancy Staar, Ace Hardware-Maynardville, UC EMS, UC Chamber of Com-merce, McDonald’s, Steve Barnard, Phil Campbell, UC Sheriff’s Office, and Property Assessor Donna Jones.

The committee asks for understanding if a name was left off the list. They also thank homeowners and businesses for putting up with the inconvenience of blocked streets during the festival.

Epperson researched the details of the skirmish to get the project rolling, and an expert historian vetted the information and fi ne-tuned the text.

Jacob Haynes brought a cannonball found in the neighborhood by his cousin back in the late ’40s.

The group watched as Ja-son Shaffer of the Civil War Trails and his boss, Mitch Bowman, expertly installed the marker next to the church pavilion and a small sign next to the road to lead travelers to the marker.

“We’ve installed 2,000 markers to commemorate Civil War points of interest. Tennessee is second only to Virginia in battle sites,” said

Bowman. “Civil War buffs search out these markers and follow our trails all over the

southeast. Our new brochure and map will contain the Walker’s Ford marker site.”

Criminal Court Judge E. Shayne Sexton administers the oath of

offi ce to Mark E. Blakley, district public defender for the Eighth

Judicial District. Photo submitted

Mark E. Blakley has been appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam as district pub-lic defender for the Eighth Judicial District, which serves Campbell, Claiborne, Fentress, Scott and Union counties.

Eighth Judicial District Criminal Court Judge E. Shayne Sexton adminis-tered the oath of offi ce. Blakley was appointed to fi ll the vacancy created by the retirement of Martha Yoa-kum and will seek election in his own right in 2014.

Blakley had been a part-time assistant in the public defender’s offi ce for three years. He handled cases in

Campbell, Claiborne, Fen-tress and Union counties. Pri-or to his appointment, Blakley was a partner in the law fi rm of Stansberry, Petroff, Mar-cum & Blakley P.C.

He attended Carson-Newman College on a foot-ball scholarship and gradu-ated in 1983. He went on to earn his law degree from the University of Memphis.

Blakley and his wife, Paula, have been married for 23 years and are the par-ents of fi ve sons: Arvis, Eric, Isaac, Ben and Will. Paula has been a public school teacher for 20 years, pres-ently teaching English at Scott High School.

Blakley is new public defender

“It has been my great-est honor to be appointed by the governor to serve the people of the Eighth Judi-cial District as their public

defender. I am working hard to provide the services that the people of our district expect and deserve,” said Blakley.

After the story about the Bull Run community and in talking with Bull Run resi-dents and former residents, I realized there is lots more to say about the community.

Back to Bull Run

First, it was one of the earliest settlements in what became Union County. The second thing to remember is that this community encom-passes much more than Bull Run Road. It extends into Ar-cher Road, Damewood Hol-low Road and other offshoots of Bull Run Road.

Around 1990, I was given a copy of a picture of the mill

pond, and the mill was iden-tifi ed as being run by Gillis Kitts, son of Sterling and El-zira Carter Kitts.

However, a member of the Wallace family recalled the mill when it was run by her father-in-law, John R. Wal-lace, and later operated by her husband, Bruce Wallace. Originally, Sam and Martha Chesney Wallace owned the mill. It was passed down to their son John R. Wallace and his wife, Lura Keck Wal-lace, then to their son Bruce Wallace and his wife, Imo-gene, who still lives in the Bull Run community. The mill closed in the early 1940s.

John R. Wallace served in World War I, where he trained to be an electrician. When the war was over and he came back to Bull Run, he ordered a dynamo and wired the Kitts and Wallace

John Wallace also had a casket shop and chair factory that produced furniture such as chairs, tables and chests.

Gillis Kitts and his wife, Maude Wallace Winegar Kitts, operated a cannery which employed a number of people. The Bull Run Can-nery was located in a shed on Archer Road.

Mr. Kitts and his employ-ees raised acres of tomatoes and maintained a peach orchard. The tomatoes and peaches were canned at the cannery. The tomato and peach fi elds were located on a ridge, and the containers of fruit were pulled down the ridge by a pulley system. As it brought the fruit down, the pulley also carried the empty containers back up to be re-fi lled. The cannery closed about 1938.

Mr. Kitts also operated a

general merchandise store known as Kitts and Wallace General Mdse.

In addition to Gillis Kitts, Sterling and Elzira Carter Kitts had two daughters: Joanie Kitts Petree and Manona, called Nona, who married Sam Archer. Nona and Sam’s daughter was Ella, who married Arlie Atkins. Ella and Arlie’s son is Jimmy Atkins, who became the gui-tarist for Les Paul and Mary Ford as well as the Fred War-ing Orchestra.

After her marriage to Mr.

Archer, Manona married Linville Kitts. Ella died when Jimmy was very young and is buried in the J. W. T. Wallace Cemetery on Bower Hollow Road. At the time Linville and Nona lived in the house at the front of the Wallace Cemetery. It is my under-standing that Linville and Nona raised Jimmy Atkins.

After Sterling Kitts’ mar-riage to Elzira Carter, he married Mary Grass, who is reputed to have Indian an-cestry. They had three sons: Arlie, Clive and Charles,

whom we know as the be-loved Union County Judge Charles Kitts. Judge Kitts is the father of Swan Kitts, for-mer Union County sheriff. Both Judge Kitts and Sheriff Swan Kitts were dedicated public servants.

A very early school called Glendale was near the inter-section of Archer Road and Bower Hollow Road (near what we know as Fallen Wa-ter Farm) in the Bull Run community. This school was replaced in the 1930s by a Rosenwald design weath-erboard school built by the WPA and called Bull Run Elementary School. It was lo-cated near the intersection of Damewood Hollow and Bull Run roads.

Esco Winegar: We cannot forget that Bull Run gave us a college president. Mr. Esco Winegar served many years as president of National Busi-ness College at Knoxville. He also taught penmanship and was a Bible scholar extraor-dinare.

To explain Mr. Winegar’s connection to Bull Run, Maude Wallace married a Winegar and had two sons, Esco and Sam Winegar.

After Mr. Winegar’s death, Maude married Gillis Kitts. Their daughter is Iva Kitts Wilmouth, and her grand-parents are Sam and Mar-tha Wallace. After Maude’s death, Gillis Kitts married Lillie Shelton Dockery, who had a son, Kyle Dockery.

Many thanks to Imogene Wallace, Wanda Waring and Shelba Parker for providing me with much of this infor-mation.

Funny thing. Had the is-sue of school nurses been on the school board agenda in Knox County, I’d have had 10 leaks and a full-blown story in advance about the debate. In Union County, politicians operate on a need-to-know. We’ll all fi nd out together at the upcom-ing workshop and meeting.

We do know that health services coordinator Eddie Graham has been negotiat-ing with Lincoln Memorial University to collaborate on school nurses. We also know that three school nurses were terminated the day before the last day of school. Just don’t come on Saturday, they were told.

The school board has the topic on its agenda for a workshop that starts at 6

School nurses on agenda

p.m. Thursday, June 13, in the auditorium at the high school. Other issues include numerous changes to school board policy. Most, maybe all, were recommended by the Tennessee School Board Association.

Also on the agenda is a discussion of the Virtual Academy by director Dr. Jimmy Carter and principal Josh Williams.

The voting meeting will follow the workshop.

…then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.

(Genesis 2: 7 NRSV)

Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.(Rumi, 13th century Persian poet, jurist,

theologian and mystic)

Do you recognize souls when you meet them?

Are there persons you instinctively feel drawn to, want to be around? Do you look forward to exploring their minds?

I have known such people. They are wondrous: unpre-

dictable, challenging, sturdy and yet gentle, deep and yet completely open. They seem to live on a different plane (or planet) than the rest of us mortals.

They are Souls. Not just any soul; every

human has a soul. The people

I think of as Souls have a ra-diance about them, a quiet depth of spirit that sets them apart, an inner shining that elicits (in fact, requires) some response.

Once I learned how to read the Bible, I was intrigued by the order of things in Eden.

On becoming a Soul In the fi rst chapter of Gen-esis, there is the account of the creation of the universe: light, then the heavens and the earth. In the second chapter of Genesis, we have the account of how God cre-ated Adam, forming him out of the dust of the ground, and then Eve.

And it is in that second chapter that we fi nd a pro-cess. God did not wave a magic wand and create a puppet. It was a three-step process: God formed Adam, breathed the breath of life into him and Adam became a living soul.

That, my friends, is how I understand the theory of evo-lution. All of God’s creation was a process, in stages, over

time, in large chunks of time – eons and eons of time. (As one pastor explained it to me, “’In the beginning, God….’ Everything else is methodol-ogy!”)

My point is this, however: Adam was created a man; he became a soul through the blessing of God’s own breath.

I sometimes think of this in terms of childbirth. A baby is born from a water environment, and has to have his mouth suctioned out by the doctor to clear the airways. It is at that mo-ment that the baby is able to scream his indignation at being pushed from his dark, warm, cozy, fl oating envi-ronment into a world where gravity makes him feel that

he is falling. As an additional insult, his body is cold for the very fi rst time. He fi nds that crying feels pretty good, and he keeps at it until he is bun-dled in warm blankets and handed back to his mom, and his rosebud mouth fi nds its fi rst meal.

Almost none of his poten-tial abilities work yet. He has to learn to suckle and sleep and grow. He has to learn to walk and talk. He has to learn to love and forgive. He has a lot of learning to do. He has to become a soul.

It won’t always be easy. He will mess up. He will for-get. He will get hurt. He will grow. He will become.

Just like Adam. Just like all of us.

Considering that they don’t play until late October, there sure is a lot of chatter about Tennessee-Alabama football.

Can you believe there are people running loose in the neighborhood who want to end this relationship af-ter just 112 years? And they claim to be fans. I say they need professional help and maybe guide dogs.

College football is or was based on rivalries. Geograph-ic proximity was the origi-nal concept of conferences. It was backyard brawls, us against them, Hatfi elds ver-sus the McCoys, Yale against Harvard, Auburn against Georgia. That is why stadi-ums are large.

I understand LSU coach Les Miles wanting to stop permanent cross-division

Too much Alabama talk

matchups in the Southeast-ern Conference, especially Tennessee-Alabama. Miles has an agenda. The Tide has been using the game as a free pass toward the national championship.

Les does not like his as-signed East division rival. Florida is a threat. Given a choice, the Gators might like an easier foe, too.

People without souls chirped up in support of Miles. They said the league schedule should be fair and

balanced – as if that is pos-sible. Others simply admit-ted Alabama is too tough. Some have spoken on behalf of more variety in schedul-ing. They say diversity is so exciting.

Beware of false prophets. They also want to change school colors to Nike camou-fl age.

Permanent cross-division competition doesn’t matter to me either way. But tradi-tion does. Tennessee and Alabama really should play on the third Saturday of ev-ery October. Write that one in ink. Complete the schedule in pencil.

Yes, there are times when sustaining tradition is more important than immediate loot.

Alabama was better than Tennessee in the beginning.

It won eight of the fi rst 10. Gene McEver returned the 1928 opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. Ten-nessee never trailed. Tennes-see won, 15-13. That was the beginning of change.

There were 40 punts in 1932. Defenses were that good on wet ground. Ala-bama punted poorly in the fourth quarter. Tennessee won, 7-3.

Johnny Butler twice re-versed his fi eld on a serpen-tine 56-yard run, highlight of the 1939 victory. Inciden-tally, Tennessee opponents failed to score that season.

All-American Dick Huff-man beat up All-American Harry Gilmer in 1946. Huff-man wore orange. Andy Ko-zar scored the deciding TD in the fi nal minute of 1950. Tide quarterback Snake Stabler threw away the football to stop the clock in 1965 – on fourth down.

Bubba Wyche led a sig-

nifi cant upset of Alabama in 1967. Albert Dorsey in-tercepted enough passes to become an All-American.

In his fi fth game as Ten-nessee coach, Bill Battle, 29, produced a 1970 vic-tory over his mentor, the legendary Paul Bryant. Two years later, Alabama scored two touchdowns in the fi nal 36 seconds and infl icted a crushing defeat.

After 11 consecutive losses to Alabama, Mike Terry intercepted a pass in the end zone with 17 seconds left to seal Ten-nessee’s stunning 35-28 upset. That was 1982. The next year, Johnnie Jones raced 66 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown to again stun the Tide.

Blitzing linebacker Dale Jones made one of the great plays in Tennessee history to save the 1985 triumph. In 1990, in a sudden re-versal, Alabama blocked

a winning fi eld goal at one end and kicked a winning fi eld goal at the other.

The Tide went 8-0-1 between 1986 and 1994. Tennessee won nine of 10 between 1995 and 2004. Peyton Manning and Joey Kent started that streak with an 80-yard touch-down pass on the fi rst play. Jay Graham made the big play the next season. Peer-less Price returned a kick-off 100 yards in ’98. That was a good year.

It took five overtimes but Casey Clausen led the Vols to victory in 2003. With 13 seconds remain-ing, Alabama won with a field goal in 2005. This stuff is tradition. Memo-ries are priceless.

Not much has hap-pened lately but things will change. Nick Saban said Tennessee now has a coach.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Some folks have the time, energy, desire and funds to keep an immaculate lawn. I don’t. These dedicated homeowners do an excel-lent job, and their yards are truly showcases. I don’t have their dedication, but still want my yard to look as good as it can. If you’re like me, here are some tips to improve your yard without breaking the bank or adding extra work for you.

Mow at the proper heightMost of our lawns in

Tennessee are fescue, ber-mudagrass, weeds or some combination of the three, with fescue and weeds by far the most common.

Grass we want; weeds we don’t. The problem is, fescue thrives at a height of three inches or higher. If we keep the fescue cut to half an inch, we are keeping that plant stressed. How-ever, there are lots of weeds that prosper at half an inch. Once you get the mower deck off the ground, your grass can compete more successfully with the weeds. Don’t believe the rumor that it will cause you to mow more frequently. I mow once a week, with the deck on my ol’ Snapper set at 4 inches.

Just a little off the top …Also with the goal of

Cheap tips for a

better-looking lawn

By Libby MorganBrian White has created

a niche business in his fasci-nation with odd and unusual plants.

White has built a fol-lowing for his wide choice of varieties of hostas over the years, and now he’s ex-panding his plant business on Raccoon Valley Road by adding plants of an odd and unusual bent.

His passion is obvious as he describes the additions to his stock: “I’ve been grow-ing some beautiful Japa-nese maples, true cedars, all kinds of shady border plants. I’m getting into bonsai stock. Bonsai growers are really picky, so I’ve learned a lot about what kinds of plants they want.

“I have a hardy orange that will grow around here called a Flying Dragon. It’s real strange looking, with long spikes, and it bears lit-tle oranges. Dwarf gingko is another favorite of mine.

“I’m propagating a new evergreen dogwood from Japan. It’s very rare. I found out about it when it was fi rst introduced to the U.S., but couldn’t afford it then. I was able to get some starts and it will be a while before they’re

keeping the grass at its healthiest, try not to remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade at a time. Grass with a 4-inch leaf that is suddenly cut to 1 inch is much more stressed than if it were cut to 2 or 3 inches. Remember, plants need plenty of leaf surface area to catch sun-light and make food.

Mow like George Jones on his

way to the package storeNo, I don’t mean under

the infl uence! I mean mow erratically, driving in different patterns each time you mow. If we always mow exactly the same way, it tends to create wear pat-terns, especially where we make sharp turns. The grass in these areas tends to become thin, especially during drought.

Hope these tips help you make the most of your lawn this summer. See, I didn’t even ask you to spend a ny money!

The weather is warming up and so is the soil. Many of you are ready to shake off the winter blahs and get that garden going. It’s perfectly understandable. But before you start cleaning up and digging in, keep a few precautions in mind. If your winter has been quiet and exercise free, be careful before doing anything strenu-ous. Gardening can be a great physical workout, as well as an aesthetically pleasing project, but it also requires bending, twisting, pulling, lifting and plenty of other movements.

Limber up a little with some light exercises before starting your garden work in earnest. Don’t stay in a bent-over position for long periods. Stand up regularly, stretch and move around. Kneeling is always better than bending. And if you do have to lift bags of soil or fertilizer, bend at the knees–not the waist–when lifting them. Let your legs do the real work and hold the bag close to you.

Make sure you have the right tools for whatever work you’re doing. For instance, a lightweight, long-handled shovel or spade will save you needing to bend to get close to the soil. And whatever activity you may be pur-suing in the sunshine, whether it’s gardening or golfi ng, wear a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen to protect yourself from the rays of the sun. Enjoy the season, but talk with your chiropractor about how you should prepare for the early rounds of gardening.

Jim McManus brought his

“Cowboy Cadillac” to the

Christ United Methodist

Church Youth Group

Car Show. From 1969-

71, the Coupe DeVille

was converted into a

“pickup truck” similar to

an El Camino and called a

“fl ower car,” intended for

funeral processions. When

the dealerships wanted

to sell the cars in Texas,

they called it a Cowboy

Cadillac. McManus

acquired the Cadillac after

surviving cancer a few

years ago. He is cancer-

free today … and riding in

style. Photo by Libby Morgan

After a 5- or 6-year break, coach Gary D. Chandler decided to revive his All-Star Basketball Camp for players ages 6-13 at Horace Maynard Middle School.

This year’s camp had 50 players who participated in a camp of fundamentals on May 28-31.

Coaches included John Edds, Leah Lewis, Josh Orrick, Chelsea Chandler, Christian Chandler and head coach Gary Chandler.

Coach Chandler stated, “The kids had a good time and worked hard to im-prove their skills. I believe the future of girls and boys basketball in Union Coun-ty is bright.”

Barron Nease and Mal-lory Carter were named MVPs of the 2013 All-Star Basketball Camp.
