EDITOR’S NOTES — TENTH ANNIVERSARY
Henry County and the Lake Area
PARIS!
Editor and Publisher
Smantha Parker
Contributing Editors
Holly Barker, Mary Lodge,
Megan Montgomery, Larry Ray,
Cindy Snyder, John Watkins,
Jennifer Wheatley
Since the early days of PARIS!, staff
and readers alike have thought of it as
a showcase for the best of what Paris,
Henry County and the Lake Area have
to offer. And over the years it’s done
just that. Our readers have learned
a great deal of area history, enjoyed
hundreds of local recipes, become
acquainted with Henry Countians
who have lead amazing lives and been
exposed to local businesses that are
second to none. They’ve picked up a
number of car care tips, become more
in tune with their gardens, gotten
in touch with their artistic side, and
found new ways to spend leisurely
weekends.
Of course PARIS! has had it’s blue
notes, as well. In one short decade
we bid farewell to wonderful Art Nellen, one of the magazine’s founding
partners. We also said goodbye to Gary
Powley, who left this world much too
soon. He worked along with Gaines
Hedges, as the magazine’s first advertising staff.
Staff meetings and writing were all
done in an office that Gaines affectionately dubbed “The Fish Camp.” Susan
remembered Art telling a friend, “It’s
hard to think of this magazine as work.
After all, we’re writing about a place
we love, and our office is called The
Fish Camp!” It was a great moniker
for a place that produced its share of
articles about the home of the World’s
Biggest Fish Fry. But more than that,
it reflected the laid back atmosphere
that somehow came through in the
pages of PARIS!
Eventually, when Susan was ready
to move on to other endeavors, I became the keeper of PARIS! With our
roots proudly planted in Henry County
soil, my husband, Kyle and our daughters, Savannah and Addy Kate, invite
you to enjoy the tenth anniversary of
PARIS!

AROUND OUR TOWN
Be
LOCAL
By Jennifer Wheatley
C
arlton Gerrell spends his days supporting our community,
through his job as executive pastor of Tennessee Valley
Community Church, his work as a Paris City Commissioner, his commitment to the Paris-Henry County
Chamber of Commerce and any board lucky enough to get him.
But he had been keeping one project in the back of his mind for
several years, and it was finally revealed last fall at the Chamber’s
Small Business Expo.
Gerrell is the chairman of Paris-Henry County’s “Be Local” campaign and it is a project straight from the heart. “Eat Local. Shop
Local. Live Local. Be Local.” is about encouraging all of us
to keep our money at home because that keeps our
tax revenues at home – obviously important to a
City Commissioner – but it is about more than
money to the former food executive turned
pastor. Gerrell believes it is really about
“public awareness and creating community
pride, encouraging everyone to make an
effort to shop here when we can.”
He also sees it as more than consumer driven and believes that local
businesses “have to take
responsibility to provide
excellent customer service
to encourage everyone to
shop at home.” Gerrell focused on the relevance of the
Chamber during his term as
president and ongoing training
for business owners.
The “Be Local” campaign,
modeled after one suggested
by David Hamilton, CEO of the
Henry County Alliance, began with
a booth at the Chamber’s Expo and
a t-shirt blitz. Several local banks
and other offices wear the red t-shirts
on Fridays. (Shirts are available at
the Chamber office, 2508 East Wood
Street, and in downtown Paris at My
Favorite Things.)
Signage went up after the Expo at
local intersections as people began their

holiday shopping. A new push will be
introduced during the Easter season.
Gerrell describes the long-term
strategy of the campaign as being
targeted “to specific buying times to
create awareness of the impact of
local dollars.” He is quick to point out
that “Be Local” is not negative, but “a
positive thing to make our community better.”
He was “surprised by the buzz”
created after launching the campaign
but knew it was doing what it was designed to do – get people talking about
how their spending choices impact the
services they receive from their local
governments and how our schools,
police and fire protection, as well as
jobs created by local retailers are all
impacted by local revenues.
Gerrell was not surprised by the endorsement of both the city and county
governments. “It is a major part of
revenue for the City of Paris,” he said.
“But the city and county were already
talking about it.”
He praised County Commissioner
Marty Visser for his work with the endeavor. Visser helped spread the word
about the campaign, worked the Expo
booth and arranged a photo shoot of
all the Henry County commissioners
wearing their “Be Local” shirts.
While enjoying the success of the
campaign, Gerrell is quick to point out
that the committee works hard. He
serves with Laura Dougherty, PMB;
Tory Daughrity, Henry County Medical
Center; Henry County Commissioner
Marty Visser; My Favorite Things owner Mary Beth Puckett; Chamber President Andrea Lamb, Commercial Bank;
Henry County Alliance CEO David
Hamilton; Gary Benton, WMUF/
WLZK and Peddler Advantage; Danny
Peppers, The Paris Post-Intelligencer;
and Jennifer Wheatley, Paris-Henry
County Chamber of Commerce.
Gerrell discusses “Be Local” as an
effort that can last for several years and
sees supporting our local merchants
as everyone’s investment in Paris and
Henry County.

“Showcasing the best

SPOTLIGHT
One story leads to another
By Jennifer Wheatley
B
ecause love conquers all.”
That was the answer Susan
Jones gave when asked why
she and now deceased business partner Art Nellen decided to
start publishing PARIS! magazine ten
years ago.
Despite dire predictions that print
was an outdated method of communication and that the two were already
busy working for the Car Care Council,
travelling extensively and handling
other people’s advertising needs
through their agency, Nellen/Jones,
they decided to go for it.
Jones believed then, as she does
now, that PARIS! is the perfect conduit
to spread the word that our community is a great place to live and do business. She wanted to create a way to
use their talents for the promotion of a
place they both loved.
She and Nellen met with Bob Valentine, publisher of Murray Life, and
then began the nuts and bolts of determining how much advertising would
be necessary to support the editorial
content. They lined up writers and
design artists and made their dream a
reality.
Jones said they discovered that “advertisers were hungry for something
that touted this town” and the mission
of the magazine from the beginning
was to “showcase the best” of our
community. Their method of showing
off the diversity of Henry County and
the lake was to arrange the magazine
into recurring departments and features. The framework made sure that
every issue provided something for
everyone to love. They focused on the
familiar, introduced us to newcomers and made us appreciate where we
already live.
Creating the magazine was the
favorite project either of them ever
attempted. One of the most challenging aspects was simply choosing the
name. Seventy-five monikers were
considered during the early stages,
many contributed from friends. Jones
remembered “Chock Full of Paris” as
an early entry to the rejection pile.
Nellen/Jones had been working
together for several years, despite a
forty plus year age difference, and had
been pleasantly surprised at the community pride that had developed from
the Paris USA efforts (representatives
from all the cities named Paris gathered here) and the arrival of the Eiffel
Tower replica from Christian Brothers
University.
Along with satisfying the needs of
advertisers, PARIS! magazine immediately connected with readers, who
made special trips to pick it up where
it was available and awaited its arrival
in the mail. It became part of the fabric
of our community.
Jones recalled the immediate response “overwhelming” and said the
most frequent comment they received
was a reference to “the quality of the
publication for the size of our town.”
She sees the magazine as particularly useful to newcomers and “a great
primer to get to know the community.”
Recognized for strong writing, a diversity of topics and exceptional cover
photography, Jones said she regrets
“that we couldn’t do eighty pages or
come out every month.”
Each cover had a distinct artistic voice, but her favorite was “Lisa
Green’s mule in the snow” which captured Green’s strong talent for outdoor
photography.
The magazine is both a source of
satisfaction and pride, but the death
of Art Nellen, followed by the deaths of
her parents, long-time teacher Joanie
and florist Jack Jones, put her in a
frame of mind to pursue new projects.
Her parents were the magazine’s first
delivery staff and she recalls that they
“took great joy” in the magazine.
Despite having turned editorial control over to Smantha Parker
at Parker Publishing, Jones remains
PARIS! magazine’s biggest fan and still
writes and contributes to every issue.
“One story leads to another, but that’s
this town,” reflected Jones.
Founder, freelance writer and driving creative force behind what has
become a treasured way of sharing
how much we all love our community,
Jones is uniquely qualified to answer
the most pressing question about
PARIS!: Why the exclamation point?
“Paris deserves an exclamation
point, and then some!”

REMINISCENCE
World’s Biggest Fish Fry Parade
for the
1939 program
lee
Nancy Hall Jubi
D
owntown Paris has been the
backdrop for many celebrations. Back in the thirties,
farmers would come to
town the first Monday of the month to
swap everything from knives to mules.
The folks at the newspaper, The
Post-Intelligencer, decided that since
so many people were in town that
day anyway, they’d sponsor a little
festival with some mule contests and
a parade.
mules
sweet
potatoes
catfish
&
The idea caught on, and by the next
year everyone was looking forward to
the second annual Mule Day. While
the festivities took place, the people at
the theatre took moving pictures, and
everyone went to the Capitol Theatre
later that day and watched the events
of Mule Day all over again.
Another festival enjoyed by Parisians during the late thirties and early
forties was the Nancy Hall Jubilee.
This was typically a three-day event
in late September with a Coronation
Ball, grand march, and beauty review
to select the Queen. When the bottom
fell out of the sweet potato market the
jubilee came to a halt. You see, Nancy
Hall wasn’t a person the town was
honoring. It was the main variety of
sweet potato grown around here!
These days we celebrate neither
mules nor sweet potatoes, but fish,
during the World’s Biggest Fish Fry
which is held the last full week in April.
2014

Back in the early ‘50s, the parade,
the fish tent and the carnival were all
downtown.
While many events are now at the
fairgrounds, downtown Paris still hosts
the street dance, Small Fry Parade, and
the all intense catfish races. If you’re
hungry, head to the famous fish “tent.”
Serving over 12,500 pounds of catfish
sounds like a lot, but hungry folks
come from miles around and make
it disappear in no time at all. With so
many things to do, including the IPRA
rodeo, a demolition derby,
arts and crafts show, Christian concert,
parade, country dance, Fish Tales storytelling and so much more, it makes
for a wild week in Paris!

THE CLUBHOUSE
PARIS PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB: Casual, Yet Sophisticated
By Susan Jones
I
magine a school where college
grads and first graders fill a single
classroom and everyone manages
to learn. This is the environment
of the Paris Photography Club, where
amateurs rub elbows with seasoned
professionals and members with $50
pocket cameras are as welcome as
those with enough equipment for a
National Geographic expedition.
“Casual yet sophisticated” are the
adjectives that club president Jeff
Roush uses to describe “the venue for
this educational process.” Turns out,
he’s exactly right.
Members help other members with
their questions. Photographers can
show their images anonymously in a
relaxed atmosphere and have them
critiqued. Finally, each meeting fea-

tures an educational program that is
of interest to pros and newbies alike. A
recent evening featured a discussion
of tablets as photography tools. Led
by Jennifer Barrett, the presentation
appealed to every photographer in the
room on a variety of levels.
So what’s the common thread?
“Everyone in the room wants to learn
more about photography and wants
to be exposed to better photographs,”
said Roush, a professional photographer and educator from Dyersburg.
His love of the craft has led him to help
start several photography clubs; the
Paris club is his sixth.
Digital revolution
As important as Roush has been
to the process, however, this club and

others like it exist courtesy of the digital revolution. “Today’s digital cameras offer many different operational
modes, allowing anyone to produce
decent images,” he explained. “Because this hobby no longer requires
technical camera knowledge to get
started, new photographers can begin their photographic journey and
education on auto mode and enjoy
that simple operation as they become
more advanced.”
The greater good

iPads, cameras and web cams are saturating our communication channels,”
said Roush. “It’s important that we, as
photographers, know good from bad,
excellent from poor and art from nonsense.” He expects this club to set a
standard of comparison and raise the
bar on what’s accepted. “The better we
become, the better our peers become.
Over a few years, everyone is better,
and the quality of art and photography
in the area is high.”
Aiming high
The group does a good job of pushing one another to greater heights.
Each month members choose a favorite subject. “Scenery, animals, Halloween, and laughter have been popular
topics. Once the “challenge” is drawn,
participating members submit two
photos by email, and the membership
votes electronically. While bragging
rights are the only prize, the friendly
competition opens the door for more
dialogue among members.
Roush tipped his hat to local physician Danny Kimberlin who, along with
his wife, Martha Jo, has sponsored the
Arts Council’s Annual Photo Showcase
for a number of years.
“Danny’s photography motivations
are where they are supposed to be.
He’s a strong conservationist and uses
his photographs to tell stories about
this world,” said Roush. “His contributions with the photo showcase have
fostered a strong photographic community in Paris. He is also willing to get
involved in projects like this photography club. He’s truly one of a kind, and
we are blessed to have him as part of
our group.”

Goal oriented
Roush, who will pass the president’s
torch soon, would like to see the membership embrace projects that help the
community at large, including hosting
a fall photography show, assisting in
expanded photography classes and
funding an art scholarship to a Tennessee state school.
At a recent meeting, he described
an interesting community project that
basically involved archiving one’s town
via an annual photo contest. Along
with a CD full of photos that are made
available to government entities, the
group presents the chamber and all
the sponsors with a hardcover book
from that year’s work.
Whatever endeavors the Paris club
members choose in the future, they
probably will take the advice of their
first president:
“As photographers we are never going to be rich. We probably can’t leave
anyone a million dollars when we are
gone, but we can leave enduring educational & captivating images...and
that’s really cool. ” – Jeff Roush

WISH YOU WERE HERE
Cultural Delights of
By Mary Lodge
A
Chinese proverb states,
“do not be afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of
standing still.”
This needs to be etched on our
tombstones someday, as my husband
and I seem to be in perpetual motion.
Always checking off our bucket list of
things to do and see – a 2012 trip to
China was one we accomplished.
The journey begins
We traveled 6,570 miles to a world
that would be unlike our own. Our
17-day odyssey began with a 13 hour
flight with some friends from Tennessee to a land that was very foreign and
whose culture was unfamiliar.
We booked our trip through Viking
River Cruises which explored China
with an epic 11-day Yangtze River
cruise named China’s Cultural Delights. The cruise would take us a thousand miles down the Yangtze River.
We also experienced the wonders of
Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. We explored the Great Wall, Forbidden City,
Terra Cotta Army and Shanghai, whose
population exceeds 23,710,000.
We uncovered the roots of Chinese
civilization from Jingdezhen, birthplace of porcelain; to Mt. Hua’s remote
Buddhist Temple complex; to Suzhou
with its elegant classical gardens. We
sailed through the locks of the Three
Gorges Dam. At 1.3 miles wide and 610
foot tall, it is China’s largest construction project since the Great Wall.
China - The World's Giant
On the other side of the world
lies a land that boasts spectacular
landscapes, historical sites, and
ancient cities. China, officially the
People’s Republic of China, is a
sovereign state located in East Asia. It
is the world’s most populous country
with a population of over 1.35 billion.
China is the world’s second largest
country by land area spreading across
a land mass of 3,705,407 square miles.
In the past half century China has
grown to be a giant in world industry
and technology, politics and influence. It has become one of the world’s
fastest growing major economies. The
government remains authoritarian
over the people of China. There is still
a high incidence of poverty, and primitive labor conditions exist in large
areas of the country. Many advances
in industry have come at the expense
of the environment with the example
of air pollution rampant in major cities
and well as the small towns along the
rivers. Though the country has managed to protect its incredible antiquities and beautiful landscapes, there is
still more work to be done to preserve
the country for future generations.
Warm welcome
The people were very warm and
friendly to outsiders. Though there
was a language barrier, the Chinese
people welcomed us and were eager to
have us photographed with them, as
we experienced at the Great Wall. We
quickly became aware of two things
the Chinese have a love for. The first
being the use of color no matter the
time of day. Perhaps this is due to
all the air pollution which leaves the
scenery in a constant state of what
seems to be fog. The second is the
perpetual use of steps everywhere a
person goes. This explains why we
never gained weight the entire time
we were on the cruise.
Throughout our trip we were primarily with the same interpreter in
a group of about twenty-five people.
This person commandeered the arrangements for hotels and restaurants
when needed, as well as guides at each
city and tourist destination. The interpreter was helpful with any questions
though we were aware they worked
for the government and much of what
they shared was scripted.
Great Wall of China
The highlight for my husband
Arthur was climbing the Great Wall of
China which was no meager feat for
a heart transplant patient. The one
thing that surprised us was the steps
that made up the path within the wall.
These are short wide steps that visitors have to use to ascend to the great
stone towers that dot the 3,750 miles
of rugged terrain. The Great Wall of
China maybe one of the world’s greatest engineering achievements, but it is
a torturous workout for the thighs.

Terracotta Army
Perhaps the most spectacular site
was the Terracotta Army or the “Terra
Cotta Warriors and Horses”, a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting
the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first
Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in
210-209 BC and whose purpose was to
protect the emperor in his afterlife. No
two faces are the same.
The life-size pottery was discovered
on March 1974 to the east of Xi’an by
a group of farmers who were drilling
a well in search of water The figures
include warriors, chariots and horses
from 2,200 years ago. The Museum
covers a total area of about 50 acres.
The sheer scale of the construction
was overwhelming.

rather stark while desks are filled with
books teaching children English. We
were amazed by the way the fourth
grade children were well behaved,
quiet and very respectful. Education
for them is primary.
The mystical beauty of the magnificent cliffs found along the Three Gorges, as well as the sub terrain splendor
inside the Snow Jade Cave, are a few of
the hidden treasures of China.
A country so vast in land mass and
culture, steeped in ancient history, is
one to truly put on a list of must seeand-experience. Just remember to

LOS ANGELES - JAN 19: DOLLY PARTON arriving to "Joyful Noise" Los Angeles Premeire on January 19, 2012 in Hollywood, CA
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Holly
met Dolly
When
By Holly Barker
When I think back on the summer
of 2011, I think about being on stage,
singing, dancing and riding roller
coasters. I spent my whole summer
in Dollywood working as a performer
in Dolly’s Imagination Playhouse in
conjunction with Dolly’s Imagination
Library. It has been three years since
I stood on a Dollywood stage, but the
memories remain strong in my mind
and heart.
Auditioning for Dollywood
I made the spontaneous decision
to audition for Dollywood when I saw
a poster hanging up in the commons
area of the University Theatre at Lipscomb University. I was in full swing
of growing as an actress at Lipscomb
hoping to graduate with a BFA in Acting and I saw Dollywood as an opportunity to audition outside of the Nashville area and grow roots elsewhere.
Not to mention, I am a huge fan of
Dolly Parton and I thought that spending the summer there might just be the
ticket to meeting her.
I drove up to Knoxville the night before to stay with a friend who attends
UTK. That next morning, I got dressed
and ready for another hour drive to
Pigeon Forge, TN for my audition.
Once I arrived at the theme park, it all
became very surreal for me. I was just
about to call my parents and tell them
22
2014
about my excitement when I quickly
remembered that I had only told them
I was going to Knoxville to visit my
friend. I decided not to tell them about
my audition because I wanted to take
a chance at doing something on my
own for the first time.
After a long day of auditions at Dollywood, I walked to my car and pulled
out my phone to call my parents. I
couldn’t hold it in any longer and I told
them about my day of auditions. I had
three during the day and after my last
one they told me I would hear from
them within the next month.
I drove back to Nashville and anxiously waited for the next month until
I received a call a few days before my
birthday. They offered me a position to
perform as a Penguin Player in Dolly’s
Imagination Playhouse. I eagerly said
yes and months later I was on my way
back to Pigeon Forge to settle in my
apartment for the next few months. I
said my goodbyes to my parents and
started rehearsing immediately for our
showcase.
Rehearsals and surprise guest
We had a two-week span of rehearsals and at the close of our rehearsal period the director mentioned
that we would be having a surprise
guest join us in the premiere of our
showcase. It wasn’t until the day before
our premiere that the word got out
that Dolly was our surprise guest. I was
ecstatic beyond belief over the news
that I would soon get to meet Dolly
Parton and share the stage with her on
our premiere.
We were all set backstage and ready
to put this show up for the first time. I
can remember standing in the wings
and hearing whispers, “She’s here, she’s
here” and the quiet sound of heels
clicking on the cement backstage floor.
My heart began racing and my mind
kept thinking this is a dream and at
some point I am going to wake up.
It was not a dream and I stepped
on that stage and performed. Dolly
stepped on stage and walked to the
front singing the last number in the
show with us. Once it came time for
us to bow, I did what I had to do – to
make my way right beside Dolly Parton to take my bows.
That was one of the happiest moments in my life. I felt like I was living
the dream and I truly was. It was a
golden moment that I will cherish and
have everlasting memories about.
The story continues
God has placed me exactly where
I needed to be all my life. He placed
me in Nashville, Dollywood, Texas and
back to Paris, TN. I have experienced
so much joy in my life so far, and I
know that God has more in store for
me in my future.
What I did not tell in my story
about my experience at Dollywood
was that I fell in love with my best
friend that summer, Damon Todd. We
have dated ever since and are now getting married in May. As happy as I was
in that golden moment on that Dollywood stage, nothing will compare to
the day I marry him.
I graduated from Lipscomb and
moved back home to Paris where I
currently reside and work at the ParisHenry County Chamber of Commerce.
I am very blessed to be a part of the
team here and happy to have this
opportunity to be a part of the community in a big way. If you haven’t
stopped by the Chamber in a while,
come in, have a seat and I might even
sing for ya!

Henry County Sheriff’s Office
Animal Shelter
Dog’s
Best
Friend
By Shannon McFarlin
C
anine-loving Henry Countians
– and the stray or abandoned
dogs living here – can thank
their lucky stars that due to
a commitment by the Henry County
Sheriff’s Office, there is a no-kill shelter
here and that their future includes good
forever homes.
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office
Animal Shelter is located in the former
home of Rolling Hills Animal Sanctuary at 622 Jones Bend Road, which
built the large facility with volunteer
labor several years ago.
Sheriff Monte Belew explained
that the operators of Rolling Hills
had asked the sheriff’s office if they
could help staff and clean the facility
years ago “and we said, sure, we’d be
more than happy to and we continued manning it with inmate labor for
about a year.”
24
2014
After that, the Rolling Hills personnel came to Belew with another
request. “They told me they were
going to be dissolving because their
volunteer list had dwindled to next
to nothing and asked if we would be
interested in running it.” Again, Belew
agreed and the shelter has been thriving under the auspices of the sheriff’s
office ever since.
“We run a no-kill shelter,” Belew
said. “That’s very important to us.
That’s the way Rolling Hills operated
and that’s the way we operate. We’re
pretty much 100 percent canine, although we are attempting to clear off
some land so that we can have a place
for horses, too.”
The only reason a dog would be
euthanized is if it was deemed vicious
or if its medical needs surpassed what
a veterinarian recommend.
The shelter originally was intended
as an adjunct for the sheriff’s office but
it has become much more. “We really
intended it as a place for us so that
when we go on calls and find abused
and neglected animals, we would have
a place to bring them, nurse them
back to health and adopt them out,”
Belew explained. “And typically, it is
used for sheriff’s office cases.”
But the shelter has become a
place for abused strays to be brought
as well as a location for dogs whose
owners have passed away or abandoned them.
Thanks to the work of Melissa
Bomar, who volunteers at the center
and has been named a reserve deputy,
the shelter has become something of a
public clearinghouse for drawing attention to abuse cases and reuniting
lost animals with their owners.
Bomar operates the shelter’s very
active Facebook page and keeps the
public informed on a daily basis of the
dogs that are being cared for at the
shelter. On numerous instances, she
has posted photos of lost dogs that
have been brought to the shelter and
has been able to happily reunited pet
with its owners.
“Melissa Bomar has been a wonderful asset to us – the hours she puts
in and helping with the adoption process,” Belew said.
The shelter is s overseen by Deputy
Ricky Ford and is fully staffed 12 hours
a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. “Inmates staff it, clean it, and
walk the dogs daily,” Belew continues.
The inmates that work at the shelter
are hand-picked for those positions.
“We want inmates who have a true
love of dogs and will nurture and care
for them like they are their own,” said
Belew. “Without the inmate labor, it
would be impossible for us to do this.
Another bonus to the shelter operation
is the positive effect it has had on the
inmates themselves. We have noticed
we have a lower recidivism rate among
those inmates who work at the shelter.”
Persons interested in adopting a
pet from the shelter or donating items
such as blankets, puppy training pads,
and other items, can call 641-8090.

and author of upcoming history book
about the former Camp Tyson.

HEALTHY IDEAS
By Smantha Parker
S
pring is finally here! That’s
good news for both cabinfevered parents and children,
as warmer temperatures mean
more opportunities for family-friendly
outdoor play.
With no shortage of recreational
hot spots to visit in Henry County,
you’re sure to find an activity that
fits your family’s style. Here are a few
outdoor activities to enjoy that are as
healthy as they are fun.
Stand-Up Paddle Boarding
The newest trend in lakes around
the country, stand-up paddle boarding
is a great way to develop balance and
core strength in a beautiful outdoor
setting such as Kentucky Lake. It takes
patience and practice to stay upright,
but can be very relaxing and therapeutic once you get the hang of it.
Nature Walks and Hikes
Whether you’ve got a sleepy
newborn or a rambunctious middlevisit www.MyParisMagazine.com
schooler (or maybe even one of each),
chances are there is a path or trail
nearby that the whole family can tackle together.
If you don’t have time to head for
the hills for an all day trek, just head
over to the Eiffel Tower Park and
hit the trails there. They for paved
through the beautiful wooded area
and have workout stations periodically along the route as well as a few
benches if you find yourself in need of
a little rest.
Pack you and your family some
healthy snacks and plenty of water to
fuel you along the way, and ask a fellow hiker to snap a keepsake photo of
your group.
Kayaking
Kayaks are more tip-resistant than
canoes, and even the smallest family
members can ride along with properly sized life jackets. Bigger kids can
double up with a parent in a kayak
built for two.
Kayaking can also provide a close
up look at marine plants and animals
that normally go by in a blur when
you speed by on a powerboat. While
getting everyone up and going for
sunrise might not be feasible, think
about how relaxing it would be to
have a picnic lunch at Paris Landing
and then kayak across Kentucky Lake
as the sun goes down.
Gardening
It’s fun for the whole family to tend
a garden, water the plants, and see
their progress as spring moves into
summer. Your kids will learn more
about where their food comes from,
and what they’re putting into their
bodies. Best of all, everyone might
even enjoy eating vegetables when
they’ve raised and picked them themselves.
If your garden is big enough to
share, consider setting up at the local
farmer’s market at the Henry County
Fairgrounds. Others can reap the re-
2014
29
wards of your fresh homegrown vegetables and the kids can learn a little
bit about earning a buck or two.
A rousing game of hopscotch provides
great exercise, improves agility and
produces lots of giggles.
Old School Outdoor Fun
Think back to your pre-internet
childhood. What did we do before the
video games, computers, and iPods?
Remember how much you used to
love to play outside?
Introduce your kids to the classics;
things like hopscotch, hula hoops,
jumping rope, four square, flashlight
tag, and Red Rover. Your little ones can
even enjoy a spirited round of Duck
Duck Goose. Don’t be surprised if you
work up a bit of a healthy sweat with
all the running around you’re doing!
Most of all just get outside while
you can and have fun. Have a plan, but
if you find yourself off the beaten path,
well, you know what they say about
the road less travelled.
Don’t let a sports injury

ORANGES
A Taste of Sunshine
By Cindy Snyder
ORANGE FRUIT CUP
2 c. vanilla yogurt
2 Tbsp. honey
2 oranges, rinsed
½ c. blueberries, rinsed
1 cup strawberries, rinsed, capped
and cut in quarters
One small bunch of grapes
Cut oranges in half. Scoop out pulp and
chop. Mix fruit together and let drain.
Combine yogurt and honey. Gently
fold into fruit and divide between the 4
oranges cups.
If you slice a small piece from the
bottom on the orange, it will sit flat.
Do not slice through the peel.
I read a long time ago, that if you
could only eat one thing a day, it
should be an orange. It’s packed with
more of what your body needs than
anything else. And after researching it,
I believe it is true.
I also know that when you peel
and eat your first Florida honeybell or
navel orange of the season, you find a
little slice of heaven. With flavor bursting in your mouth and juice running
down your chin and your arms, you
have found something truly delicious.
Oranges are one of my favorite
foods and flavoring. The Navel orange,
available from November to May,
is easy to peel and chop. It makes a
great orange bowl, too. We sliced it in
two pieces, scooped out the pulp and

made a fruit salad in its own shell.
The Valencia is at its best in the
summer months, but it is available
from February through October. The
Valencia is the juiciest. We used those
to make the fruit smoothies.
And the Honeybells. They are actually a cross between tangerines and
some exotic kind of grapefruit. Their
peak season is short, with January being their best month.
From Pico de Gallo to side dishes
to entrees, oranges give a delicious
and healthy boost to many dishes. Oh
yes, and the martini. We use a slice of
orange peel and jalapeño. It gives it a
nice kick.
Enjoy these and I hope to hear from
you in 2014. — Cindy
PICO DE GALLO
2 containers of grape tomatoes or 4
fresh tomatoes, rinsed and chopped
1 bunch cilantro, washed and chopped
½ sweet onion, diced fine
½ red or green pepper, diced fine
½ jalapeño, rinsed, seeded and
chopped
Juice from one orange or more
Juice from one lime
Mix together. Great for chip dipping or
as a side dish.
BBQ ORANGE BAKED BEANS

IN THE GARDEN
By John Watkins
“My hound dog dug up my rose
bush, the moles done tore up my yard,
I’d never have taken up gardenin’, if
I’d known it’d be this hard.
The deer keep eatin’ my hostas, no
matter what fence I install,
And if it weren’t for crabgrass, I’d
have no grass at all!
Yeah, I got the gardening blues, the
gardening blues”
plant sight unseen. Also keep in mind
that blue plants will respond differently due to environmental conditions.
Full sun may bring deeper blues in
some plants while even partial shade
may make the others appear washed
out. This also applies to soil fertility,
heat, and drought. So always be sure to
look at the cultural requirements before placing plants in your garden.
O
Bedding Plants
Bedding plants with blue flowers
are great for creating a cooling effect in an otherwise hot and sunny
bed and there are a great number to
choose from. Blue Salvias are a favorite heat and drought tolerant plant
with many varieties that are perennial
in our area.
Ageratum, bellflower, iris, and
lobelia come in many shades of blue
and are easy to grow. If you need a
blue flowering replacement for the
fall mum, try an aster like ‘Sky Blue’ or
‘Blue Autumn’. Need a vine to cover an
arbor or trellis? I’ve got you covered
there too. How about clematis ‘Blue
Angel’ or an easy to grow morning
glory like ‘Heavenly Blue’?
k, so I won’t quit my day job
just yet. Having the gardening blues doesn’t have to be
a bad thing though, especially with so many wonderful bluehued plants available. From small
flowers to large evergreen trees, there’s
bound to be at least one blue plant
that will fit in your garden.
Let me start off by saying that
“blue” in the gardening world can
be interpreted a number of different
ways. What one person calls blue may
be seen as grey or lavender or even
violet by someone else. Also, it seems
that plant breeders tend to get a little
excited when they market blue plants
(I blame it on lack of human contact),
so keep that in mind before ordering a
If blue flowers aren’t your thing,
how about plants with blue foliage?
There are seemingly hundreds of
hostas out there with varying shades
of blue to blue-green foliage. Their
developers seem to have a pretty good
sense of humor too, with some really
great variety names to choose from
like ‘Halcyon’, ‘Blue Hawaii’, and ‘BlueHaired Lady’.
Dianthus could be another choice
for a low growing creeper with the
added bonus of bright flowers above
its grey-blue foliage.
Need a small clump forming, fine
textured perennial? ‘Elijah Blue’ dwarf
blue fescue is a great drought tolerant
ornamental grass that is carefree and
adds great texture to your garden.
Junipers like ‘Blue Pacific’ or
‘Blue Rug’ are excellent low-growing
groundcovers that are very heat and
drought tolerant for those really
tough areas.
Shrubs
If you need something a little larger,
you could try one of these blue flowering shrubs. Hydrangeas are one of
the most loved plants in the southern

garden. While some are dependent on
soil acidity for their blue color, a variety like ‘Nikko Blue’ will give you more
consistently blue flowers.
Butterfly bush, lilac, Russian sage,
and a variety of Rose of Sharon called
‘Blue Chiffon’ are all easy to grow and
will definitely draw some attention.
Recently released, there is the longawaited blue rose named ‘Applause’.
(Calling this rose “blue” is like calling
Miley Cyrus shy and withdrawn, it
takes a bit of imagination.)
Trees
I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
but trying to find a deciduous shade
tree with blue leaves is a lost cause
(unless you happen to be thumbing
through a classic by Dr. Seuss.) The
closest you could probably come is
the eucalyptus tree which, unfortunately doesn’t perform well in this
area and is a bit more “shrubby” than
tree-like.
There are, however, some large evergreens which fit the “blue” category
quite nicely (and that I will henceforth
call “everblues”). I will caution you that

some of these can be a bit temperamental in our area and require a little
extra care.
When most people think of blue
conifers, the Colorado blue spruce is
the first thing that comes to mind. This
“Christmas tree” does have beautiful
grey-blue foliage but is much better
suited to zones farther to our north. So
if you are going to try it, be prepared to
spend some time and effort in keeping
it healthy. ‘Blue Ice’ deodar cedar may
be a better choice and can reach 40-50
feet with bluish-green to grey needles.
There is also an Arizona cypress called
‘Blue Ice’ that grows much more upright than wide, just in case you are
dealing with a tight space.
So there you have it, a whole years
worth of blues in one article and I
didn’t even have to go and get my Prozac prescription refilled! Now, where
was I on those song lyrics…

WHEN BULLETS FLEW
By Larry Ray
In celebration of the Civil War’s Sesquicentennial, Larry Ray is compiling a number of articles detailing the
history of his own backyard along the Tennessee River. This is the eleventh in the series.
Previous articles can be read online in the archives of MyParisMagazine.com.
This is part of a continuing series
about our local Civil War History. The
two stories in this article are based on
information in “Jack Hinson’s OneMan War” by Tom C. McKenney.
Special thanks to Colonel McKenney
for giving me permission to use some of
the events from his book.
M
any gunboats and
transports passed by
Jack’s rifle sights on the
Tennessee River in the
summer of 1864, but one stands out
unique in the history of naval warfare.
Nothing like it had happened before
or since.
A heavily loaded armed transport,
carrying a capacity load of soldiers,
came into view of Jack’s ledge on the
bluff. When it entered the “Towhead
Chute,” some of the soldiers and many
of the officers were filling every available space on the topside.
The boat was barely moving
against the swift current of the chute
for at least 45 minutes. Jack’s targets
of choice were officers because he
blamed them for the deaths of his
sons. Several navy and army officers
fell on the deck that day.
(Note: Towhead Island and Towhead Chute which are now submerged
under Kentucky Lake can be seen on
TVA navigation charts directly in front
of Jack’s cave on the bluff next to Hurricane Creek.)
The captain of the transport pan-
icked feeling that he was under attack
by a large Confederate force and ordered the bow anchors dropped and
a white flag raised. All the officers and
soldiers on the transport also thought
they were the victims of a superior
force and put down their guns and
swords in surrender.
It would have been easy for Jack to
continue to kill many more, but he felt
he could not do that after they surrendered. Jack could not go down there
alone, so he just waited and eventually the confused captain of the vessel
pulled up his anchors and proceeded
on his mission. Jack allowed them to
pass without more bloodshed.
It was the only time in recorded history that a fully-armed naval vessel with

a full compliment of combat troops
ever surrendered to just one man.
On another occasion, Jack Hinson
was riding through a part of his property called the “100 acre field” which
still exists today. It is close to where
his home Bubbling Springs had been
before being burned to the ground by
Union soldiers. The 100 acre field was
the largest cleared field in the area and
was covered in tall grass.
As Jack was riding through the field,
he noticed two Union soldiers riding
into it from the woods on the far side.
It was unusual and dangerous for only
two soldiers to be on patrol. He saw
them first, and unknown to them, Jack
lowered his rifle into the tall grass and
headed toward the soldiers. His unusual rifle would create suspicion, so
he wanted to meet them as far away
from the rifle as possible.
They asked Jack if he knew of a
man named Jack Hinson. They told
him that they were bounty hunting
and hoping to collect the handsome
reward on Jack Hinson’s head. Jack
quickly told them that he had seen
Hinson over by Standing Rock Creek
earlier that morning. When they asked
for directions, Jack told them the long
way to a special spot he knew well.
The hunters would become the
prey that day. When the soldiers left,
Jack quickly recovered his rifle, took
the shorter route and reached the designated spot ahead of them. Jack and
his rifle were waiting for them at a distance and the soldiers never returned
to the fort.
(Note: There was a bounty on Jack
Hinson until the day he died.)
The next article of this series will
detail the historic Confederate return to Fort Heiman and how Hinson
helped General Nathan Bedford Forrest to become one of the most effective commanders in the Civil War.

Henry County Fair Association and past
Executive Director of the Paris-Henry
County Chamber of Commerce and

long interest in the Civil War.

A Henry County
Marine returns from
overseas deployment
By Megan Montgomery
Chris Sykes reunites with his wife Megan after a ninemonth Marine deployment.
L
ance Corporal Chris Sykes,
a 2006 Henry County High
School graduate, made his
family and friends’ holiday
brighter when he returned home a few
days before Christmas after serving a
nine-month deployment with the 26th
Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU).
The Marine was welcomed home
with a large gathering of family and
friends in Paris thrown at his father
Michael’s house to celebrate Chris’
safe return home after many months
away from his loved ones.
Chris' grandparents, Terry and Geraldine Sykes, and many friends and
family were in attendance including
Michael Trollinger, Marcie Hutchison,
Angie Caldwell, Megan Gotshall, Hunter Ollman, Jason Stegal, and Bryan
Caldwell. A few of Chris' friends from
Murfreesboro, where he attended Middle Tennessee State University, drove
to Paris to welcome him home.
“Having my friends and family in
one place was really special because
it was pretty hard being away from
everyone you love for nine months
straight,” Chris said.
The first Marine in his family, Chris
is currently serving in the military
occupational specialty 6316, Aircraft
Communications/Navigation Systems
Technician on KC-130 Hercules transport aircraft that are used for aerial
refueling. His squadron, VMGR 252, is
the oldest continually active squadron
in the Marine Corps and is part of Marine Aircraft Group 14, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing based out of Cherry Point,
North Carolina. Chris and his wife Megan currently live off base in the town
of New Bern, North Carolina about 10
minutes from Cherry Point.
When asked why he chose the Marine Corps, Chris says “I wanted to be
part of something bigger than myself
and serve my country and the Marine
Corps is known as the best of the best.”
This was Chris' first deployment
since joining the Marine Corps and
graduating from Marine Corps Recruit
Training in Parris Island, South Carolina on April 23, 2010. He was excited to
be deployed with the 26th MEU, which
is made up of ground, aviation, and logistics combat elements, all operating
under a unifying command element.
Chris had the opportunity to see
the world while deployed overseas.
In nine months, he traveled to many
locations, including Spain, Italy, Por-
tugal, Canada, Jordan, and Djibouti,
but his favorite destination of all was
Chania, Greece. Chris stated, “When
we were in Greece, we stayed at a local
hotel in town that was so beautiful and
right on the ocean. The local food was
amazing and I ate gyros everyday.”
But this deployment wasn’t all food
and fun for the young Marine. “Djibouti, Africa and Jordan were pretty
rough because we stayed in tents and
the water wasn’t potable. We lived off
MRE’s and bottled water and there
were literally millions of flies in the 105
degree heat,” Chris said.
Despite the hardships, Chris experienced many adventures during his
free time abroad including climbing
Mt. Etna, an active volcano in Italy,
and participating in the infamous
event of running of the bulls in Spain
on Easter.
Chris elaborated on his travels by
saying, “I grew up in Paris, Tennessee
my entire life and being in the Marine
Corps has given me the opportunity to
see the world and defend my country
at the same time.”
Upon his return to Cherry Point,
Chris will be transferring to a new
squadron, VMR 1. He will have the

opportunity to work on a few new

the CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter used
for search and rescue operations. “The
Marine Corps has really given me so
many opportunities, experiences, and
skills that will stay with me for the rest
of my life,” Chris said.
After the homecoming party in Paris, Chris’ grandmother Geraldine Sykes
said, “We are so proud of Chris and all
of his accomplishments. He has given
us so much to be thankful for.”
His father, Michael Sykes echoed
the sentiment, “We are so thrilled to
have Chris home safe and sound.”
Chris returned back to Cherry
Point, North Carolina, in January
where he will continue to serve our
country proudly.

TEACHABLE MOMENTS
during National Car Care Month
By Susan Jones
I
n addition to being the official
month of the World’s Biggest Fish
Fry, April is National Car Care
Month.
This designation is meant to encourage motorists to have their vehicles checked before vacations begin,
but that’s not the only message.
April is traditionally the month before our teens will hit the road in large
numbers for work, camp or grand
adventures. But even if your teen is
only traveling to Paris Landing, he or
she needs to know a few things about
preventive maintenance and repair.
National Car Care Month is the perfect
time to start.
Teachable moments
Teachable car care moments were
on the mind of Don Davenport recently. As the manager of the Henry County
Airport, Davenport understands the
need for preventive maintenance and
repair more than most folks. His wife,
Becky, who is now retired, traveled
constantly in her job with the state and
shares her husband’s appreciation for
car care.
“Becky and I are great about maintenance; that’s why our cars last so
long,” said Davenport. When it comes
to Sarah Katherine, the couple’s teenage daughter, they want to pass on
their knowledge about cars.
She’s learning
“She’s only been driving about six
months, but she’s really learning about
what it takes to keep a car up,” he said.
“We’ve shown her what to watch out
for, like low tires, or burned out lights,
low fluids and dirty filters, that type
of thing.” Davenport said he saw a
TV commercial recently that featured
a man teaching his daughter how to
change a tire. “It reminded me that I
need to teach Sarah Katherine how to
do that this spring.”
Davenport has the right idea. Automotive preventive maintenance
and repair knowledge is like algebra;
we’re not born knowing it, it has to be

learned. Teaching young drivers the
basics about their cars is a must. And,
parents who don’t know much about
their car care can learn along with
their teens. Here are a few tips:
Explain that all cars, new and old,
need regular attention. Make sure
your teenager knows and follows the
maintenance schedule for his/her car.
(No maintenance schedule? Download
one at www.carcare.org.) In addition to
making a car safe to drive, preventive
maintenance can save thousands of
dollars during a lifetime of driving.
Don’t overlook the owner’s manual.
It’s full of information about the car
that young drivers may never know
unless they become familiar with this
automotive bible.
Make it fun. There are many sites
online that are fascinating for young
and old drivers, alike. Some have Q &
A sections. Let your teens send their
tough questions to the professionals,
or better yet, drop in on your local
automotive repair technician and ask
him or her.
Speaking of repair technicians, take
your teen with you to the repair facility, the tire store, the body shop and
wherever you have automotive work
performed. Get them accustomed
to the automotive world-its people,
places, jargon and prices.
There are hundreds of books available on this subject. Many are written
specifically for non-technical audiences; some are even humorous.
Make a plan. What happens if
the car breaks down, your teen has a
wreck or the car gets stolen? What if no
adults are home to receive the panic
call? Whether you want your teenager
to call your family repair facility or
Aunt Sadie, give them instructions and
put important phone numbers in the
glove compartment.
For many parents, driving age is
the final frontier. Certainly it is an important rite of passage for teenagers.
Don’t let your child drive unprepared.
Take the time and the necessary materials to make your young driver feel
competent and secure. And do it this
April; why not, it’s National Car Care
Month!
