Pioneer Day returns Sept. 13

Join in the fun at the 30th annual Pioneer Day, which will be held Saturday, Sept.

13, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be lots of good food, music and fun taking place at the Cumberland County Fairgrounds. Once there, attendees can meet and spend the day with Confederate, Union and Revolutionary soldiers, ladies of the Confederate Rose, cowboys and Native Americans. The Celtic club will celebrate with a bagpipe player, Celtic singers and an Irish dancer. A German polka band will perform, followed by bluegrass singer Carrie Hassler. “Elvis” (Bob Johnson) will also shake things up. There will also be bounce houses, bungee trampolines, crafts and other activities for children. There will be something for everyone. Admission is $5 for adults and free for kids 12 and under.

Hike-a-thon planned Sept. 21 At the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation, they strive each day to protect Tennessee’s natural treasures. They enlist the help of citizens, organizations and businesses to achieve these conservation goals, and to date, they have protected over 40 natural areas including famous Tennessee landmarks such as Cummins Falls State Park, Virgin Falls State Natural Area, Black Mountain/ Cumberland Trail, Devil Step Hollow Cave, Hickman Bar, Randolph Bluff and more. In 2013 alone, more than $300,000 in grants funded more than 185 projects across Tennessee.

To help support this work, they are launching an exciting new event this year called the Tennessee Green Hike-a-thon.

They are hosting a series of guided hikes throughout the state on Sunday, Sept. 21 to raise money for their vision of a network of parks, greenways and wild-

life areas across the entire state of Tennessee. In West Tennessee, certified Tennessee naturalists will be leading hikes for supporters at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park. In East Tennessee, the hike will take place at Black Mountain, Justin P. Wilson Cumberland Trail State Park. They would love everyone’s support of the event in any way possible — financial contributions with publicity benefits, a donation of inkind goods such as water bottles and T-shirts, the sponsorship of employees or associates to participate in the hike, or sponsorship for advertising on promotional materials for the event.

Numerous studies show

the positive effects spending time among nature can have to relieve stress, and everyone knows the benefits of physical activity.

Spread these benefits to employees and associates with a sponsorship package for the Tennessee Green Hike-a-thon. See http:// www.tenngreen.org/website/2013/11/20/tenngreenhikeathon/ to become involved.

Hike-a-thon chair Bill Landry said, “Tennessee’s natural beauty, places for outdoor recreation and homes for wildlife depend upon us all. Our hike-athon footsteps lead to a good future for everyone in Tennessee’s green garden. Thank you for your support.”

Choice of three hikes and chance to support Tennessee Parks and Greenways. For more information and to register go to: www.tenngreen. org/website /2013/11/20 / tenngreenhikeathon.

At the Thursday, Sept.

4, meeting of the Friends of the Art Circle Public Library, Ann Pelikan, the Chair of the Cumberland Adult Reading Council, will give a presentation on the organization and its goals. The meeting will be held in the Cumberland Meeting Room at the Art Circle Public Library. It starts at 9:30 a.m. with refreshments, and the program will begin at 10 a.m.

Ms. Pelikan is a retired lawyer who has always been an avid reader and decided that in retirement she would like to tutor adults who needed to improve their reading and writing skills. In the fall of 2004, she and three other women from St. Raphael’s Episcopal Church began tutoring adults referred by the TN Career Center. Early in 2005, they formed a nonprofit corporation, called the Cumberland Adult Reading Council (CARC).

It may be surprising to some that a significant number of adults in Cumberland County cannot read, write or speak above a grade school level. Cumberland Adult Reading Counsel works to help such people to improve their lives or prospects for improved employment opportunities.

Adult learners meet oneon-one or in small groups with volunteer tutors, who assist them with individual goals such as preparation for GED classes, coping with the challenges

of advanced work skill in their jobs, reading essential medical instructions, improving ability to cope with financial matters, or simply ability to assist children or grandchildren with school work.

Friends of the Art Circle Public Library meet the first Thursday of most months at 9:30 a.m. They always have refreshments and an interesting program. At least one meeting features book reviews See FOL page 3B

Chronicle contributor

There were more than 80 people at the 118th reunion of the Pleasant Hill Academy and High School at the luncheon and program held in the Pleasant Hill Community House in July.

The president of the alumni association, Iris Cole Miracle, welcomed the assembly and introduced her brother, Thomas Cole, sister, Dinah Cole Goodwin, and several other members of their families. The primary reason the Cole children, grandchildren, in-laws and great-grandchildren were in attendance was to thank C.T. Mathes in person for rebuilding the Alice Adshead Arch in the Van Dyck area of Pleasant Hill in honor of Denton “Dink” and Virginia Cole.

Richard Woodard, executive director of Uplands Village, presented a photograph of Mathes at the rebuilt arch and a certificate of appreciation stating, “For outstanding craftsmanship of rebuilding ‘The Alice Adshead Arch’ and preserving a piece of history for Uplands Village.” He also displayed the plate that would be attached to the Arch, stating that Mathes rebuilt the arch in 2014 in honor and memory of Dink and Virginia Cole. Mathes shared some memories he had of neighbor and babysitter, Virginia Phipps, and his teacher Denton Cole.

Iris Cole Miracle shared photographs of Virginia and Dink on their 60th wedding anniversary in 1996 at the original arch and in front of the bench by Lake Laura, where they were married in 1936. Members of the Cole family gave Mathes touching letters of appreciation.

Grandson Jon Goodwin told of his marriage proposal to his now wife, Jennifer, on that trail. Granddaughter Jamie Goodwin Taylor reminisced about grandparents, “Papaw and Mamaw,” and their stories of early Uplands history.

She and husband, Robert, were married at the spot where her grandparents married.

President Miracle introduced others besides the alumni who were attending the event — her cousin, Doug Little, members of Pleasant Hill Historical Society, Pleasant Hill Mayor Al Dwenger, teacher and coach L.A. Fox and the new principal of Pleasant Hill Elementary School, Kari Rockwell. As she called a roll call of years, those alumnus pres-

High school students began attending Cumberland County High School in Crossville after that, and the school became Pleasant Hill Elementary with grades pre-k through 8th grade. Secretary Mary Uziel read the names of those who passed away since 2013 in a memorial moment.

New officers elected were Jim Blaylock, president; Helen Page Bohannon Lewis, vice president; Margaret Lewis Wightman, secretary; and Gretta Page Pugh, treasurer.

The program was a viewing of the DVD “Pleasant Hill Academy. What Happened to the Campus After 1947?” It is narrated by Frank and Ann Meisamer, Carlene Lewis, Harold Hughes and Bill Wightman.

UT Gardens-Crossville: Where everything old is new again Plateau Gardening

By C. R ae Hozer Chronicle contributor

Find the Home on the Plateau demonstration area at UT Gardens-Crossville by going straight back along the mulched pathway from the signpost near the entrance. Stop when you reach a mailbox on the left hand side surrounded by flowers.

This display features a house whimsically crafted by members of the Master Gardener class of 2011 surrounded by plants. Plans called for a formal look out front paired with an informal backyard arrangement.

The plantings selected for this homestead are varieties that might have been seen growing at Grandma and Grandpa’s place back when those who are grandparents today were just youngsters. Though the species used were old favorites, in most cases recently developed cultivars have been chosen to represent them giving a fresh new look.

My photographic survey of plant health in the Gardens after the harsh winter of 2013-’14, found most landscape plants in this themed area had ‘Before’ and ‘After’ pictures that looked much the same.

(The Black Lace Elderberry described below was the lone shrub I saw in that garden with cold injuries.) Walk through and jot down names of the other landscape selections there because they’ve proved they can take all Old Man Winter has to offer.

The colorful Coppertina Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Minda’ Coppertina) hedge growing along the right edge of the Home on the Plateau plot near the back gate deserves a prize for Best of Show, in my opinion. In May 2014, many woodystemmed plants in yards and gardens in the Crossville area looked pretty bad but this Coppertina which is cold hardy in zones three to seven (temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees F) was looking great.

Reddish-bronze leaves with coppery highlights provided a rich, dark background for round pinkish-white flower clusters densely covering its arching boughs. The springtime display was spectacular. Right now, dramatic red seed clusters have replaced those spring blooms as the plant’s chief attraction.

In autumn, falling leaves will reveal yet another showy feature— exfoliating bark origin of the common name Ninebark. This truly is a yearround beauty and no prima donna. The optimum site for Coppertina Ninebark would be one with full sun to part shade, welldrained, slightly acidic soil with dry to medium

Scarecrow Festival to benefit Alzheimer’s Tennessee The Crossville Scarecrow Festival, sponsored by Life Care Center of Crossville, will be held Friday, Sept. 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Everyone is invited to create a scarecrow to aid in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.

Before 11 a.m. on Sept. 5, create a scarecrow and bring it to Life Care Center of Crossville to be displayed on the lawn. Scarecrows will be available for community viewing through the weekend, and the winning scarecrow will be announced the following week. There is a $25 entry fee for scarecrows. All proceeds will be donated to Alzheimer’s Tennessee, Inc. For more information, or to sign up a scarecrow, please call Jean Bennett at 484-4782.

Join them between 11 a.m. and 3 p.n. on Sept. 5 for a cornhole competition, arts and crafts vendors, refreshments and viewing the scarecrows. There is a $25 entry fee for each cornhole team, with all proceeds going to Alzheimer’s Tennessee. To sign up a cornhole team, drop off the information (team name and team members) at the facility at 80 Justice St. or call 484-4782.

It is resistant to powdery mildew and has no serious disease or insect problems.

My first glimpse of the dwarf Joe Pye Weed (JPW) cultivar ‘Chocolate’ this spring was love at first sight. Deep purple leaves at the stem-tips of this handsome plant growing in the back section of Home on the Plateau grabbed my attention. I have not seen Chocolate covered in white blooms but a trial at the Chicago Botanic Garden found that cultivar’s flower production to be heavy and the plant’s growth habit strong and sturdy.

den. Check out the striking combination planting of dainty yellow ‘Pot of Gold’ thread-leaved coreopsis blossoms, a patch of purple cone flowers and Chocolate’s eye-catching form and foliage. Unfortunately Chocolate JPW likes full sun and sunshine is scarce at my place so it’s not right for my yard.

Drat!

Last summer when hunting shrubs with purple leaves, I discovered an elderberry with deeply lobed, dark-purple leaves named ‘Black Lace’ in the Home on the Plateau area.

Varieties of the American native elderberry, Sambucus canadensis grow wild by country roadsides.

Their plentiful purple berries are used to make jellies and wine. Black Lace is bred from a different

line — the Central European elderberry, Sambucus nigra. Though Black Lace does have pink flowers and edible fruit, it and other European varieties are primarily bred to be ornamental.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs during a certain time of year, which for most people is the fall and winter. Several factors may play a role in developing SAD, including heredity, age and body chemistry. Most experts, however, believe that the lack of sunlight is the predominate trigger. The limited amount of sunlight in the winter months disrupts the circadian rhythms that regulate the body’s internal clock, which lets us know when it’s time to sleep and time to wake up. This disruption can cause depression. The body also experiences an increased production of melatonin, a sleep-related hormone, during winter. At the same time, the levels of serotonin, a brain chemical that seems to be triggered by sunlight, decrease during this season. All of these changes can be factors that contribute to SAD, as well as the fact that the decrease in daytime hours limits us from enjoying outdoor activities that we might use to cope with stress and depression, such as walking, sports or gardening.

Symptoms of SAD include: *fatigue, lack of energy, or daytime sleepiness *difficulty sleeping or oversleeping *grouchiness or irritability *cravings for high-carbohydrate foods *lack of interest in activities you normally enjoy *social withdrawal What helps to cope with SAD? *Try to get more exposure to sunlight during the day. Go outside for a few minutes, keep your blinds or curtains open during the day, move your workspace near a window. *Replace your regular light bulbs with full-spectrum lighting and keep lights on during the evening hours. Turning off lights or dimming them signals your body that it’s time to sleep. *Have regular sleep habits and try to avoid napping in the evening. *Eat more nutritious meals and snacks-less fats, sugars, carbs. *Exercise regularly. Physical activity increases the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain killer and mood elevators. *Develop a hobby, or get back into hobbies that you have dropped.

You might surprise yourself and discover a renewed interest. *Take a trip to a warm, sunnier climate. *Spend more time with family and friends, get involved in church or community activities. *Set daily goals. Try to identify one or two tasks that you want to get done every day, as well as at least one activity that you look forward to, such as watching your favorite TV show with a bowl of ice cream (low fat, low carb and sugar-free, of course ? ).

SAD can make it difficult to make it through the winter months, but is very treatable. Try some of these options, or some of your own, to help you cope. If you do not see improvement, consider contacting your doctor to discuss medication or other treatment options.

If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, loneliness or anxiety, please give Senior Perspectives a call at 484-4055. Senior Perspectives is a service of Cumberland Medical Center.

Information Tip of the Week Sprouts are a raw, crunchy vegetable found in many Asian and health food dishes. They are also a “super” food that many overlook. Bean sprouts, for example, are remarkably easy to grow indoors and the process only takes a few days to complete.

It is an ideal endeavor for individuals interested in learning how to grow their own food and it is also a fun project for kids since they actually get to see the sprouts grow. As for their nutritional profile, sprouts can contain up to 100 times more enzymes than raw fruits and vegetables, allowing your body to extract more vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fats from the foods you eat. Also, both the quality of the protein and the fiber content of beans, nuts, seeds and grains improve when sprouted.

The content of vitamins and essential fatty acids also increase dramatically during the sprouting process. Sunflower seed and

pea sprouts tend to top the list of all the seeds that you can sprout and are typically each about 30 times more nutritious than organic vegetables you can even harvest in your backyard garden.

During sprouting, minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, bind to protein, making them more bio-available. Sprouts are the ultimate locally-grown food, and can easily be grown in your own kitchen, so you know exactly what you’re eating. And since they’re very inexpensive, cost is no excuse for avoiding them. We have books on the subject and the Internet provides lots of valuable information also to help get you started growing your own sprouts.

Quackers Joke of the Week Q. What did the girl pig say to the boy pig?

A. You’re so HAMsome!

Roundtable to discuss war in Western NC North Carolina gave the Confederate States of America at least 125,000 troops as well as Wilmington, the war’s longest-running major Confederate seaport, but the state was a study in contrasts. Unlike the vociferous other Carolina, it was the next-tolast state to secede and had the highest number of deserters. In other words, it seemed nearly as conservative as South Carolina seemed radical.

Nowhere was this more evident than in its western mountains, where there were no plantations to depend on slavery and political differences were most profound. The illfated Confederate military department there in the war’s final 18 months is the topic of discussion for the Upper Cumber-

land Civil War Roundtable meeting on Sept. 9.

The night’s speaker, Tennessee Tech history instructor Philip C. Davis Jr., wrote his master’s degree thesis at Wake Forest University on Confederate sentiment in Western North Carolina. Davis received his B.A. from the College of William & Mary and has done further graduate work under the noted Steven Ash at U-T. He has been at Tennessee Tech since 2002.

His talk will employ letters, diaries, official reports, and contemporary newspaper accounts.

The Roundtable meets on the second Tuesday of each month – except for a June-July hiatus – at the First Presbyterian Church, 20 N. Dixie Ave., in Cookeville.

Tips for parents: To post or not to post?

By Barbara Ortutay AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Privacy-wary parents are increasingly pausing before they post photos, names and other information about their wee ones on social media. Some are choosing a complete blackout, while others opt for nicknames and a few carefully selected snapshots.

Here are some social media tips for parents, relatives and friends.

— Ask First, Post Later If you don’t know how a parent feels about having photos of their kids

posted on Facebook, Instagram or elsewhere, ask before uploading a photo and before you tag the parents in a photo. This goes even for close relatives.

Actually, it’s not a bad idea to ask everyone you post a photo of if they’re cool with it, especially if the snaps were taken at a party, swimming pool or any other less buttonedup situation. It can prevent awkward conversations later.

— Limit Audiences Facebook’s privacy settings are complex, but they also offer granular settings that let you pick who can see your updates. One

way to do this: Create a “secret” group and add the members you want. The problem here is that anyone in the group can add new members to the group.

Another way to limit the audience of each post you share is to click on the right tab under your update, which may currently say “friends” or “public.” Click on “custom” and choose which of your Facebook friends you want to share with and which ones you’d like to exclude. It’s simpler on Instagram, where you can either lock your account or set it to public.

— Talk to Your Kids

Opinions on the age at which parents should start talking to their kids about Internet and social media use vary. Some parents start as soon as their child is old enough to use a smartphone, which can be as early as 2 or 3 years.

Amy Heinz, who blogs about her kids, often talks to her 8-year-old about posts she writes about him, but says her younger children, who are 5 and 3, know about the blog but “don’t have a concept” of what it means exactly. Caroline Knorr, parenting editor at the nonprofit Common Sense Media, waited until her son was 15 before

Caris HealthCare seeks volunteers Caris HealthCare relies on volunteer support to provide end-of-life care to each patient and family. Considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care for people facing a life-limiting illness or injury, hospice and palliative care involves a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient’s needs and wishes.

Support is provided to the patient’s loved ones as well.

All volunteers receive training to ensure they feel comfortable with their tasks.

Caris volunteers are given choices as to how much and what types of things they want to do. Some examples of typical volunteer duties

Them That photo of your little one with pea soup all over her face, or the one that shows her first time on the potty might be funny at the time, but think about what she may think of the photo if it’s still online when she’s a teen. Today’s generation of parents did not grow up with the reality that their private moments growing up will be documented and often posted on the Internet for all eternity. Before posting a photo or anecdote, take a moment to imagine a conversation about it with your child 10 or 15 years from now.

The Cordell Hull Festival Pageant will be Sept. 20 at the Pickett County K-8 school gym in Byrdstown. Registration will begin at 2 p.m. for the age groups of infant through eight years, with the pageant beginning at 3 p.m.

A second Leader Dog, Luna, was given to Donna in March 2014. Luna is 100% Black Lab, and has already made 11 visits since March 2014 with 10 more on the schedule.

Donna and her Leader Dogs have made a definite ™ impression on adults and children throughout East Tennessee, and for this reason, she has been honored with this award. Donna and Luna’s visitation partners are Lions Ken Steadman and Art Zimmerman.

By Ken Steadman The Melvin Jones Fellowship Award is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a Lions Club member. It is named after Melvin Jones, the founder of the Lions organization in 1917. It recognizes the total commitment made by a member toward the ideas of Lionism. In honor of her commitment toward the Lionism ideals, Donna Taylor is the recent recipient of this distinction.

Donna is totally blind. It all happened in a matter of three weeks some 13 years ago. In order to better her quality of life, she received her first Leader Dog for the Blind in 2007. He was a part-Golden Lab and partBoxer named Norman. For six years, Norman served her faithfully until his unfortunate passing due to liver cancer in April 2013. When she received Norm, Donna made a com-

— Go the Old-Fashioned Route Some parents opt for e-mailing or texting photos to one person or to a small group rather than sharing them more widely on social media. Online storage services such as Google Drive and Dropbox also let you distribute photos privately, as do photo-sharing sites such as Flickr. Of course, there’s always the old-fashioned snail mail method, if you can still find a place to print snapshots.

— Don’t Embarrass

are: • Listening to a patient’s concerns.

• Being a comforting and supportive presence.

• Engaging in the patient’s hobbies (for example, playing a board game or discussing current events).

• Sewing, making crafts for patients, baking or participating in a pen pals club or Threads of Grace.

• Running errands or doing light housekeeping for the patient and his or her family.

• Encouraging the patient to tell their life story.

• Providing time for the caregiver to take care of her or his self.

• Office/support staff work – data entry, mailings, photocopying and answer-

ing telephone calls.

State fair to showcase arts and crafts heritage

Pictured at the ACB Convention are Liz Trauernicht (MD Foundation), Dan Dillon (TCB), Linda Simmons and Margie DeMars (VIS Group).

VIS Group members attends blind convention Imagine 1400 blind and visually impaired people, mostly using white canes or guide dogs, navigating a very large casino hotel.

For those who have some vision… it’s a wild scene!

Most of the guide dogs, while guiding their hosts, were wary with their tails between their legs. The Visually Impaired Support Group of Cumberland County member, Margie DeMars recalls, “I pondered what the guide dogs must be thinking…

‘What’s with all these white sticks trying to trip me up? I’ve never seen so many working dogs in one place! No, I don’t know where Room 105 is’.

This was the sight of the 53rd American Council of the Blind Convention where Linda Simmons (VIS Group President) and Margie DeMars (VIS Grant Writer) attended a week-long program in Las Vegas filled with lengthy meetings and wonderful learning experiences.

Linda Simmons states, “The ACB had the days and evenings packed with classroom events; highlighting technical advances, the Rights of the Blind Disabled, practical helpful information, and ‘who’s who’ in the ACB Affiliates.”

On the first day of the convention, being affiliates of the TN Council of the Blind, Simmons and DeMars participated with TCB President, Dan Dillon, in the Brenda Dillon Memorial Walk. Liz Trauernicht, President of

the Macular Degeneration Foundation, a $2000 contributor, joined them. They were delighted to learn that the Tennessee Chapter of the ACB, came in first place - raising $4,000 for the Brenda Dillon Memorial Walk. Brenda Dillon was very active in the TCB and the ACB for many years demonstrating what we can accomplish through perseverance.

Brenda was an inspiration to many of the blind and visually impaired. As of this writing, the ACB has raised $37,000 from this fundraising walk.

Because of the mobility difficulties in the hotel, Liz Trauernicht and Margie DeMars discussed the question: “Why don’t we have a GPS system in the hotel? In this day and age, it should definitely be possible.” Liz ran with the ball! After talking with the Macular Degeneration Support Director, Dan Roberts, they made this offer to all future gatherings of the Blind and Visually Impaired: “We want to help by donating Indoor Navigation System technology.” The guidance system works by sending audible instructions and location descriptions to the user’s iPhone, Android or SmartPhone.

The information is electronically transmitted by beacons placed at conference rooms, exhibit booths, restrooms, elevators, etc. These organizations are willing, as part of their joint mission, to design and set up such sys-

tems for events on a free loan basis. A prototype “iBeacon” system is being tested at the San Francisco International Airport.

This is the technology that Liz Trauernicht and Dan Roberts are proposing to use at future Blind and Visually Impaired events.

The Macular Degeneration Foundation and the Macular Degeneration Support organizations are partnering in this endeavor. At this time, the ACB Board of Directors has expressed a lively interest in the project which has the good chance of being utilized in their July 2015 convention to be held in Dallas, TX. The blind, whether using a white cane or a guide dog, plus low-vision attendees, will be most thankful.

Kudos to these two wonderful organizations!

The next meeting for the VIS Group will be Thursday, Sept.11, at 9:30 a.m. at the Sonshine Soup Kitchen, 69 Neecham St., Crossville. Their speaker will be Brad Allamong, CEO of the Crossville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce. Coffee and pastry are always provided.

Anyone who is visually challenged, a caregiver, or interested in eye health is invited.

The VIS Group is holding their annual Golf Tournament on Saturday, Oct. 18, at Tansi Golf Course, with a shot-gun start at 1 p.m. For more info, contact Joyce Lignar at 788-6955.

The Tennessee State Fair will host several demonstrations and exhibits to showcase Tennessee’s rich arts and crafts heritage.

“We are thrilled to have local artists showcase their crafts at the creative arts exhibition at the fair,” said Bill Mullins, Tennessee craft artist manager for the Tennessee State Fair. “We have several opportunities for fair-goers to see local artists demonstrate their skills and it will add to a great fair experience for all ages.” “Being able to demonstrate and share these crafts helps carry on the tradition and supports the Tennessee State Fair Association (TSFA) mission of education.”

The artisans who will be demonstrating at the fair are sponsored this year by the Tennessee Arts Commission, the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, and individual board members of the TSFA. Sponsorships assist to award honorariums to help the craft artists with travel, materials and educational costs.

The craft artists demonstrations will be presented on both Saturdays and Sundays of the fair, as well as Monday and Tuesday, Sept.

8 and 9. Check the fair website at www.tnstatefair. org for times.

Some of the artists, exhibits and demonstrations will include: –Woodturning with the Tennessee Association of Woodturners who will share techniques on turning wood, finishing wood, safe woodworking practices and proper tool and equipment use.

–Artists from The Clay Lady’s Artist Co-op & Galleries who will be demonstrating their talents and skills at both the potter’s wheel and hand-building with clay. Using different techniques and decorating styles, the artists will share their process and answer

Historic Rugby welcomes Hamblen County resident Amy Greene on Saturday, Sept. 6, for readings and a book signing.

This free author event will be at 7 p.m. in the Rebecca Brown Theater in the Historic Rugby Visitor Center. Greene’s first novel, “Bloodroot,” published in 2010, was a national bestseller. Her second, “Long Man” (2014), promises to be more popular than the first.

Set in 1936, “Long Man” tells the story of Yuneeta, a river town that’s about to disappear beneath the waters as the Tennessee Valley Authority closes the gates on a newly-constructed dam. While some of the residents gladly accept the government’s buy-out, others are reluctant to leave their family homes. One resident, Annie Clyde Dodson, is adamant that her three-year-old daughter Gracie should inherit their ancestral lands, despite her husband’s eagerness to move to Michigan and a more secure future. As a violent storm rages outside, Annie discovers that Gracie is gone. Has she simply wandered out into the storm, or was she taken by Amos, a drifter who has returned to Yuneeta for one last visit. The search for the missing child becomes a race against rising waters and a reconciliation of a divided community.

Born in Morristown, Amy Greene is a life-long

Amy Greene resident of Hamblen County. She has been described as a spell-binding story teller and a dynamic speaker.

Married soon after her high school graduation, Greene was the mother of two small children when she joined the Vermont College low-residency undergraduate program, making twice-yearly trips to New England in pursuit of her degree. She began writing “Bloodroot” during that time.

Enjoy a delightful and relaxing meal at the Harrow Road Café before or after the event. Choose from traditional British dishes, Upper Cumberland favorites, or the weekly specials.

Wines and ales are also available. Historic Rugby is located on the newly-designated Rugby Parkway, just off state Scenic Highway 52, at the southern tip of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. For more information, please call (423) 6282441 or email rugbylegacy@highland.net.

Local Crossville resident Veronica Fay’s photography is increasingly noticed and appreciated both in local markets and in other states’ venues.

Fay became more serious about photography as an art form after participating in the (former) Shanks Center exhibits on Main Street in Crossville.

In the summer of 2014, Fay became a member of the C.A.T.S. Gallery cooperative located in the Crossville Mall. She won one of the top awards at the Judged-and-Juried Show at the Art Guild in Fairfield Glade. After a positive exhibit at Crossville City Hall during July, she was asked to display some of her photographs at Earth Heart, a seven-bedroom guest lodging and healthcare establishment located on Main Street in Pleasant Hill. She recently won second & third place in the Wythe County Rural Retreat Fair in Virginia.

Beginning Oct. 10 and through the first week of November, Fay’s photography exhibit will be at the Appalachian Spirit Gallery, 144 West Main St., Marion, VA. Monthly receptions will be held each second Friday evening including a live band on the front porch and opportunities to explore art at other local businesses.

To see Veronica Fay’s works in current local venues: The C.A.T.S. Gallery is located in the middle of the Crossville Mall and is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday through Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays. Additional times are possible via the adjoining business, Picture Perfect - This Old Glove. For viewing the photographs at

Nod to the past and then move on, Capricorn

By Holiday Mathis Creators Syndicate

Horoscopes

You’ll be heard shortly after someone wants to listen. The trick is in enticing that want. You can’t force it. No one can be forced to want. There’s an art to this, and Mercury gliding through Libra highlights the nuances, helping us all get a little better at noticing and inspiring the needs and wants of others.

AR IES (March 21-April 19). It will feel as though you are waiting an awfully long time for what is already supposed to be yours. The sweetest rewards are often the ones that take the longest to be delivered.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This is no time to start doing what you’re told. Consider it, yes, but don’t fol-

low the directive blindly just because it seems to be coming from the top.

GEM I N I ( May 21-June 21). You will cast your vote in some way, probably with your money.

Before you put in your figurative two cents (which actually costs thousands of cents), think of what you’re voting against, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Usually your mischief is spontaneous, but tonight it will benefit you to commit some premeditated misbehavior. In a weird way, it will show that you care.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Impossibilities, quite simply, are not so. Strike that word from your vocabulary today, and instead hold your mind open to more options than the

average logical Joe might consider.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Your environment will only feel as comfortable as the people in it.

Those shopping for a new place to live should ask about the neighbors before putting down a deposit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Doing what you like seems like a luxury now, as there is so much expected of you. Of course, maybe all this work is keeping you out of trouble and making you more useful than you intended to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will feel as though you are in a race.

Keep in mind that the one who accomplishes something first often doesn’t get it right. Take the time to be thorough and test out your theories before presenting

them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The thing (or person) you depend on may not be available, which will inspire you to find new solutions to the problem or, better yet, decide that it never was a problem to begin with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Memories will be dredged up — bad ones, good ones and those that are best left uncategorized. Nod to the past as you would a passing acquaintance — “I see you” — and then move on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The mistakes show you what you need to work on. They give you direction and purpose. So don’t be afraid to make a few today. Without them, life will feel rudderless.

PI SCE S ( Feb. 19-March 20). The prize

DAR Chapter promoting Constitution Week

By Sandra McRae Chronicle contribuor

Sept. 17 begins the celebration of commemorating America’s most important document The Constitution of the United States.

The Crab Orchard Chapter of the DAR would like for you to take some time and reflect on what this means to each of us. It should remind us of a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history. Men like Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, to name

a few, who had the foresight to write a document that covers the facets of government that makes men free and withstand the many years of growth to our nation.

The Constitution established a stable and responsible government that gives each citizen born in the country automatic citizenship. It gives all people a voice in the government through elected officials whom the people elect. One of the most important rights it guarantees each individual is

life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To many people, this document is why our ancestors came to this country, and that is for religious freedoms and liberty of conscience. These are a few of the rights the Constitution give us. Please take a look at the Constitution in the next few days and reflect on all the rights we have as citizens of this great country.

The Constitution Committee of The Crab Orchard Chapter has taken time to make posters for each of the elementary schools in

Cumberland and Bledsoe counties and has prepared displays for the window in Mitchell’s Drug Store, The Cumberland Archives, The National Bank on Peavine and Good Samaritans at Fairfield Glade. A poster has been placed in the Cumberland County Library.

The chapter also presented to the County Military Memorial Museum a framed copy of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. If you are in the area, please take time to take a look and reflect

on this country. Our city mayor, J.H. Graham III, and county mayor Kenneth Carey, Jr. feel it is important as they have proclaimed the week of Sept.

17 through 23 as Constitution Week.

As stated by one of the past National DAR president general Merry Ann Wright, the Constitution by itself cannot guarantee lib-

erty. A nation’s people can remain free only by being responsible citizens who are willing to learn about the rights of each arm of government and requires that each is accountable for its own function. Therefore, this week is a perfect opportunity to read and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties.

CMC to host Ladies’ Day Out Annual mammograms can save a woman’s life.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so there is no better time to schedule a screening mammogram. The benefit of annual screening mammography is earlier detection and lower risk that the breast cancer will have spread to other areas. Ladies’ Day Out is a free event hosted by the CMC Regional Breast Center to promote awareness and encourage ladies to get their mammograms. Two separate events are scheduled to allow ladies to bring their friends with them in a casual and fun environment to receive their screening. One event will be at the Regional Breast Center on Sept. 30

with the second event at the Fairfield Glade Medical Arts Building on Oct. 7.

Bring friends and enjoy a fun time with local musicians, samples from local businesses, and lots of chocolate and desserts. The fun will begin at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at the CMC Regional Breast Center located on Cleveland Street; then again on Tuesday, Oct. 7 beginning at 1 p.m. at the Fairfield Glade Medical Arts Build-

ing. Two opportunities, one thing in mind – saving lives, one mammogram at a time.

Call in advance and schedule a mammograms for the event, or schedule an appointment during the party. A physician referral is not needed to schedule a mammogram. So gather some friends and encourage neighbors to come have a good time, meet our new Obstetrics & Gynecologist Dr. Andrew Szaf-

larski, view new products from local merchants, get a massage, have their fingernails painted, and listen to the soothing music of Tony Zarola and members of the Children of Crossville Chamber Orchestra – did we mention that we will have lots of chocolate and desserts?

Call 459-7040 to schedule a mammogram and encourage other ladies to do the same.

Peek into brain shows how kids learn math skills

By L auren Neergaard AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sometime in elementary school, you quit counting your fingers and just know the answer. Now scientists have put youngsters into brain scanners to find out why, and watched how the brain reorganizes itself as kids learn math.

The take-home advice: drilling your kids on simple addition and multiplication may pay off.

“Experience really does matter,” said Dr. Kathy Mann Koepke of the National Institutes of Health, which funded the research.

Photo submitted Healthy children Jessica Fain emerges in the moon pool inside Jules’ Undersea Lodge, location for Classroom Under the Sea. start making that switch between counting to what’s called fact retrieval when they’re 8 years old to 9 years old, when they’re still working on fundamental addition and subtraction. How well kids make that shift to memo-

Inspiring girls to pursue science is one of Jessica Fain’s goals The National Science Board’s 2014 Science and Engineering Indicators report contains an all-toofamiliar statistic. Women account for only 28 percent of the workforce in science and engineering jobs.

Elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities around the country have designed initiatives to boost that number.

Roane State adjunct professor Jessica Fain wants to do her part, and she’s willing to live underwater for 72 days to show that science is cool, for boys and for girls.

“I definitely see those social barriers for girls interested in science,” Fain said. “They don’t want to be labeled as the nerd. We still have this stigma of wanting to be the popular girl and not wanting to be the science geek. I want them to see that it is OK to be the smart, nerdy girl.”

Fain, who has a bachelor’s degree in biology and teaches biology labs for Roane State, will participate in Classroom Under the Sea, a joint project between Roane State and the Marine Resources Development Foundation in Key Largo, Fla. Along with Roane State biology professor Bruce Cantrell, Fain will live and work in an underwater habitat for 72 days this fall (Oct. 4-Dec. 15).

The habitat, Jules’

Undersea Lodge, is located 25 feet below the sea in the lagoon at the Marine Resources Development Foundation. While they live in the habitat, Fain and Cantrell will host a weekly program titled “Classroom Under the Sea” that will cover a variety of topics in marine science.

Classroom Under the Sea is the type of hands-on science experience that fascinates students, Fain said.

Lab experiments inspired Fain to pursue science, and she hopes living underwater shows students that science is more than reading textbooks.

“Hands-on experiences are the best way to get young people interested in science,” Fain said. “Why not do the fun, exciting experiences when they are impressionable? That excitement will carry over into other, harder concepts.

“I could read about air pressure all day long, but when I am in a lab and can physically see the way air pressure affects things, I am getting the concept. I can read about the ocean ecosystems. I can read about how they use the wetlands and inland lagoon areas as nurseries, but with Classroom Under the Sea, I can actually see it and help show young people what is happening.”

Fain, of Lenoir City, graduated from East Ten-

nessee State University in 2011 and began teaching for Roane State. She is an experienced diver who has logged more than 100 hours in underwater habitats and labs. The natural world, Fain said, has fascinated her since childhood.

She said she “fell in love with marine science” the first time she went snorkeling.

“It’s amazing how many systems go into an ecosystem underwater,” she said.

“Nature has this cool way of if something happens to that balance, it can rebalance itself. I’m passionate about marine science and preserving our oceans, and I hope that people who watch us during Classroom Under the Sea will see that if you are passionate about something, and you go out and do it, most likely you are going to open doors for yourself.”

Classroom Under the Sea programs will be available for anyone to watch at roanestate.edu/classroomunderthesea and on youtube.com/classroomunderthesea. Sponsors of Classroom Under the Sea include Diversity in Aquatics and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI).

Tennessee Tech professor receives service award Tennessee Tech University associate professor LaNise Rosemond received the 2014 Distinguished Service Learning Award sponsored by Home Instead Senior Care.

The award is presented to one TTU faculty member who has demonstrated exceptional service learning and leadership through the university. The award is given every spring at TTU’s annual luncheon forum.

LaNise Rosemond, an associate professor in the

exercise science, physical education and wellness department, received the faculty award. She participates in many service projects, many of which involve her classes.

“Though not required to implement service into her courses, LaNise always does so because she believes in pedagogy of active listening,” said TTU political science professor Lori Maxwell.

Since 2009, Rosemond has required her EXPW

classes to regularly visit the Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation at Master’s Nursing Home in Algood. Students visit, make crafts, play games and talk with the residents.

Rosemond said that the goal of the project is to foster a caring attitude in the students that will be useful in their profession. Her class received the volunteer group of the year by Master’s in 2011.

ry-based problem-solving is known to predict their ultimate math achievement.

Those who fall behind “are impairing or slowing down their math learning later on,” Mann Koepke said.

But why do some kids make the transition easier than others?

To start finding out, Stanford University researchers first peeked into the brains of 28 children as they solved a series of simple addition problems inside a brain-scanning MRI machine.

No scribbling out the answer: The 7- to 9-yearolds saw a calculation — three plus four equals seven, for example — flash on a screen and pushed a button to say if the answer was right or wrong. Scientists recorded how quickly they responded and what regions of their brain See BRAIN page 3C

Selby wins BPW scholarship

Missy Wattenbarger/Chronicle

Casey Selby was the recipient of the Cumberland County Business and Professional Women’s 2014 Helen Turner Thurman $1,000 scholarship. Casey is enrolled at Roane State Community College. Vancieneta Wisdom, who serves as chairman, made the presentation. This annual award was originated in 1981 with $500, but increased to $1,000 the following year. It is funded through the sale of the book “Cumberland County’s First Hundred Years,” which is available at the Palace Theater. The total price of the book goes to the scholarship account.

BRAIN

• Continued from 2C became active as they did.

In a separate session, they also tested the kids face to face, watching if they moved their lips or counted on their fingers, for comparison with the brain data.

The children were tested twice, roughly a year apart. As the kids got older, their answers relied more on memory and became faster and more accurate, and it showed in the brain. There was less activity in the prefrontal and parietal regions associated with counting and more in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, the researchers reported Sunday in Nature Neuroscience.

The hippocampus is sort of like a relay station where new memories come in — shortterm working memory — and then can be sent elsewhere for longer-term storage and retrieval. Those hippocampal connections increased with the kids’ math performance.

“The stronger the connections, the greater each individual’s ability to retrieve facts from memory,” said Dr. Vinod

TTU’s James Lotz AWARD offers annual recital

Menon, a psychiatry professor at Stanford and the study’s senior author.

But that’s not the whole story.

Next, Menon’s team put 20 adolescents and 20 adults into the MRI machines and gave them the same simple addition problems. It turns out that adults don’t use their memory-crunching hippocampus in the same way.

Instead of using a lot of effort, retrieving six plus four equals 10 from longterm storage was almost automatic, Menon said.

In other words, over time the brain became increasingly efficient at retrieving facts. Think of it like a bumpy, grassy field, NIH’s Mann Koepke explained. Walk over the same spot enough and a smooth, grass-free path forms, making it easier to get from start to end.

If your brain doesn’t have to work as hard on simple math, it has more working memory free to process the teacher’s brand-new lesson on more complex math.

“The study provides new evidence that this experience with math actually changes the hippocampal patterns, or the connections. They become

more stable with skill development,” she said.

“So learning your addition and multiplication tables and having them in rote memory helps.”

Quiz your child in different orders, she advised — nine times three and then 10 times nine — to make sure they really remember and didn’t have to think it through.

While the study focuses on math, Mann Koepke said cognitive development in general probably works the same way.

After all, kids who match sounds to letters earlier learn to read faster.

Stanford’s Menon said the next step is to study what goes wrong with this system in children with math learning disabilities, so that scientists might try new strategies to help them learn.

Nursing students put class lessons into practice A group of senior nursing students this summer got a taste of the kind f nursing practice they would not otherwise have had until graduate school.

For one week, 11 Tennessee Tech University students performed 100 physical assessments on children of all ages and administered immunizations at an orphanage in Haiti.

“A lot of the things they were doing they would be taught as undergraduates, but are not things they would get to do a lot in undergraduate clinicals,” said Melissa Geist, dean of TTU’s College of Interdisciplinary Studies, nursing professor and one of the faculty members on the trip. “This work was more advanced. They got teach a level below to some of the others on the trip but practice at a level above their current academic status.”

Ten senior nursing students and one freshman mechanical engineering student learned firsthand how malnourished children develop as they helped to chart the children’s progress and to

TTU students measured the children’s head cir-

the buzzer rings at 8 a.m., school bus pickup times typically mean kids have to get up before dawn if they want that ride.

“The issue is really cost,” said Kristen Amundson, executive director of the National Association of State Boards of Education.

School buses often make multiple runs each morning for older and younger students. Adding bus drivers and rerouting buses is one of the biggest financial obstacles to later start times, Amundson said. The roughly 80 school districts that have adopted later times tend to be smaller, she said.

After-school sports are another often-cited obstacle because a later dismissal delays practices and games. The shift may also cut into time for homework and afterschool jobs, Amundson said.

The policy, aimed at middle schools and high schools, was published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

Evidence on potential dangers for teens who get too little sleep is “extremely compelling” and includes depression, suicidal thoughts, obesity, poor performance in school and on standardized tests and car accidents from drowsy driving, said Dr. Judith Owens, the policy’s lead author and director of sleep medicine at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The policy cites studies showing that delaying start times can lead to more nighttime sleep and improve students’ motivation in class and mood.

Whether there are broader, long-term benefits requires more research, the policy says.

Many administrators support the idea but haven’t resolved the challenges, said Amundson.

She said the pediatricians’ new policy likely will have some influence.

cumferences and weight, examined ears, eyes and throats and listened to hearts and lungs. They saw children ranging from months-old infants to 11-year-olds who were orphaned, abandoned or needed care a hospital or family couldn’t provide.

Many were malnourished, some had parasites and others had medical conditions like cleft lips and palates, club feet and hernias.

“A lot of the problems there simply stem from nutrition,” said assistant nursing professor Susan Clark, who planned the trip.

“Mommas who are not well fed can’t make babies who are in good shape, it’s just that simple. They don’t have good water.

They don’t have good food. Neonatal care does not exist.”

Clark planned the trip for six or seven nursing students after going on a mission trip to the orphanage last summer. So many students expressed an interest in going that she brought several more, and would have taken more had they not been limited

by the available lodging.

“Nursing is my passion,” said senior Katelyn Wilkinson, of Chattanooga. “All of the mission trips I’ve been on in the past have been about putting on vacation Bible schools and sports camps.

This was a combination of the people and the place and getting to do what I love.”

Though nursing students have travelled in the past to experience health care systems in other countries, including Cuba and Finland, this was the first time they got to travel and use the skills they are learning in the classroom.

About half of the group had already taken TTU’s pediatrics class and were able to put to use what they had learned, and to teach pieces of it to the others.

“It was satisfying, knowing we’d pulled that much out of the class,” said senior Brett Cagle, of Chattanooga. “Going through it together, you don’t know how much you’ve learned but when you’re talking about it with someone who hasn’t been through it, you

realize how much you learned.”

During the examinations and the time at the orphanage, the students played and bonded with the children despite the language barrier between the groups.

“There was this little girl who realized that if she went to one of the guys with beards, we’d throw the kids up in the air,” said mechanical engineering student Mark Geist, of Buffalo Valley. “She said ‘volez’ again and again and again. I eventually realized it meant, ‘fly.’

She was asking to fly.”

Pediatricians’ Rx for schools: Later start times

By Lindsey Tanner AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO (AP) — Pediatricians have a new prescription for schools: later start times for teens.

Delaying the start of the school day until at least 8:30 a.m. would help curb their lack of sleep, which has been linked with poor health, bad grades, car crashes and other problems, the American Academy of Pediatrics says in a new policy.

The influential group says teens are especially at risk; for them, “chronic sleep loss has increasingly become the norm.”

Studies have found that most U.S. students in middle school and high school don’t get the recommended amount of sleep — 8½ to 9½ hours on school nights; and that most high school seniors get an average of less than seven hours.

More than 40 percent of the nation’s public high schools start classes before 8 a.m., according to government data cited in the policy. And even when

Enis Cirak named CAC students assist with senior day innovation fellow Enis Cirak, a chemical engineering student at Tennessee Tech University, was recently trained to be a university innovation fellow for the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation program.

Cirak, a sophomore from Antioch, joins a national network of 110 fellows from nearly 80 universities across the country.

The program seeks to empower engineering student leaders to bring more entrepreneurial activity to their campuses.

Cirak will help TTU create experiences for other engineering students with regard to innovation and entrepreneurship. He said he plans to create a club or other organization for students to discuss ideas and find others who are interested in entrepreneurship.

“The most important part of advancing the campus is to uplift the students first,” he said. “By making them interested and then giving them the opportunity to act on that interest, Tech will become an amazing place for innovation.”

After starting the club at TTU, Cirak said he plans

to gather speakers and host events for students to increase involvement and creativity. He also said he hopes to create more classes focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship.

“As more classes are integrated into the curriculum, I hope to be the first student to graduate with a chemical engineering degree with a minor in innovation and entrepreneurship,” Cirak said.

The university innovation fellows program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and directed by Stanford University and the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance.

Earlier this semester, TTU was one of 12 universities selected to participate in the NSF’s Pathways to Innovation program, which will help the university design and implement ways to blend innovation and entrepreneurship with engineering education.

Other universities included in the inaugural group are Texas A&M University, Michigan Technological University, New Mexico State, University of Pittsburgh and California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo.

Student volunteerism can have positive impact ... and help pay for college (MS) — Volunteerism can help young people grow into well-rounded, responsible individuals. When volunteering, kids can learn new skills, foster new friendships and contacts, and improve both their social and interpersonal skills. In addition, a 2011 study from researchers at the Stony Brook University School of Medicine found that people are generally happier and healthier when giving back to their communities. The study even recommended that health care professionals recommend volunteering to patients 12 and older, with the belief that helping others provides significant health benefits, including allowing volunteers to escape their stress and anx-

From soup kitchens to shelters to private clothing or food collection drives, opportunities abound for kids who want to help the less fortunate. iety. And, there could even be a few added bonuses for volunteering!

Students between the ages of six and 18 who haven’t yet graduated high school have the chance to be recognized for their volunteering efforts and earn money for higher education thanks to Kohl’s Department Stores. For more than a decade, the Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program has recognized more than 19,500 students, awarding nearly $4 million in scholarships and prizes. This year the organization will award nearly $400,000 in scholarships and prizes to

more than 2,300 young volunteers who have made a positive impact in their communities.

Finding the right activity is often the most important step when fostering a love of volunteering in youngsters, and there are a number of great opportunities and causes that children can relate to.

• Embrace eco-volunteering. Today’s kids are increasingly eco-conscious, and concepts like recycling, reusing and conserving fuel and energy are second nature to many young people. That makes eco-volunteering a natu-

ral fit for today’s eco-conscious students. Children can volunteer with organizations that remove trash from beaches and parks; plant trees to establish community green spaces; work to promote wildlife conservation; or further recycling efforts in their communities.

• Help the needy. Volunteerism can open youngsters’ eyes to the plight of the less fortunate. Various organizations dedicated to helping the needy depend on volunteers of all ages to meet their missions. From soup kitchens to shelters See IMPACT page 6C

CCHS and Martin Elementary students recently traveled to the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas.

CCHS, Martin students compete at FCCLA national conference On July 6–10, Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) brought more than 7,000 of its student leaders, members and advisers to the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas to participate in the 70th annual National Leadership Conference.

National Leadership Conference provided opportunities for students and advisers to come together for fun and to listen to inspiring speakers, as well as to expand their leadership skills, sharpen their talents and explore possible career pathways.

The theme of this year’s

conference was “SOAR” and attendees were challenged to go beyond what was expected of them to make lasting, positive impressions in their families, schools and communities.

FCCLA offers over 30 Family and Consumer Sciences related events, also known as STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) events. These events include Culinary Arts, Knowledge Bowl, Career Investigation, and Fashion Construction to name a few. Members compete at the District, State and National level. This year, over 4200 STAR Event participants

competed in San Antonio.

This is the largest number of competitors at any National STAR Events competition!

Sixteen students from CCHS and Martin Elementary competed at the conference. The students, their competition category, and winning medals are as follows: Bailey GalenNutrition & Wellness-Silver, Kelby Sapp, Angel Perry, & Mariah MeekCulinary Arts-Bronze, Brianna Reid-Early Childhood Education-Bronze, KJ Smith & Josh Whittenberger-Food InnovationsGold, Britney McDanielJob Interview-Gold, Dillion Reineking-Interior

Design-Silver, Brittany Triplett-Life Event Planning-Gold, Giselle Marquez, Riddhi Upadhyay, & Contessa Wilburn-Interpersonal Communications-Silver, Erika Rodriguez, Rani Patel, & Raven Patel-EntrepreneurshipGold. Advisors, Rachel Shoemaker, Linda Kington, and Kelly Masters accompanied the students.

Thanks and recognition to the Cumberland County School Board, Eye Centers of Tennessee, Middle TN Natural Gas, Volunteer Energy Co-op, East TN Dodge, Dollar General Market, K-Mart, and the parents and volunteers for making this trip happen.

TTU hosts annual Young Artist Piano Competition Young pianists are invited to apply to compete in Tennessee Tech University’s annual performance competition. Applications for the eighth annual Young Artist Piano Competition can be downloaded at tntech.edu/ music and are due Sept. 29.

The competition will be Saturday, Oct. 18, in Wattenbarger Auditorium in TTU’s Bryan Fine Arts Building,

1150 N. Dixie Ave. Students in grades nine through 12 are invited to perform two works of contrasting style selected from the standard piano repertoire. Memorization is required. Students will be judged by TTU pianist Paul Thurmond, Carson-Newman University piano professor Ryan Fogg and Steinway artist Agnes Wan.

Four winners will each receive a cash prize. First place will receive the $600 S.K. Ballal award, second place earns the $500 Dave McCall award, third the $350 Rodney Carlson Award and fourth the $250 Hope High award.

For more information, contact Catherine Godes, competition coordinator, at cgodes@tntech.edu.

• Continued from 5C to private clothing or food collection drives, opportunities abound for kids who want to help the less fortunate.

• Help the sick. Many organizations that cater to the sick also provide volunteering opportunities to youngsters. Many kids who volunteer with such organizations are motivated to do so by a close friend or family member’s battle with a particular illness, but some kids even turn their own personal adversity into an opportunity to help the sick.

Such was the case with 18-year-old Tyler O’Briant of Tonganoxie, Mo. After spending more than three semesters of high school in and out of Children’s Mercy Hospital battling chronic bacterial and viral infections, Tyler, a 2013 Kohl’s Cares Scholarship winner, decided to host a book drive and fundraiser, which ultimately raised more than $1,150 to purchase books and e-readers for the hospital waiting rooms, where young patients now have access to hundreds of books thanks to Tyler’s efforts.

• Visit the elderly. Kids can learn a lot from their elders, and many organizations that work with the elderly offer volunteering programs for boys and girls.

Individuals in group homes

or hospitals often appreciate visits from youngsters, and kids can learn valuable life lessons in return.

• Tutor fellow students.

A child who is proficient in a given subject can lend a helping hand to fellow students who need some assistance. Working together to improve grades and school performance can improve others’ sense of self-worth and instill a greater sense of accomplishment in tutors.

Volunteering can foster a sense of social responsibility in youngsters, and may even help them finance their college educations. More information is available at www.kohlskids.com.

Supplies needed for local schools

This school year, Neighbors and Newcomers will be partnering with the First National Bank of Tennessee in Fairfield Glade to collect school supplies for Crab Orchard and Pine View schools. There will be collection bins at the First National Bank of Tennessee and the Fairfield Glade Community Center. Either drop off items at the designated places or bring them to the September meeting. They will then be distributed to the schools. Their first meeting of the year will be Sept. 25 at the Cumberland Mountain State Park recreation lodge.

Amundson is a former Virginia legislator and teacher who also served on the school board of Virginia’s Fairfax County, near Washington, D.C. Owens, the policy author,

has been working with that board on a proposal to delay start times. A vote is due in October and she’s optimistic about its chances.

The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture will host a Woods and Wildlife Field Day on Wednesday, October 15, 2014, on the grounds of the Forest Resources AgResearch and Education Center and UT Arboretum.

The Woods and Wildlife Field Day is designed to help landowners with 10 or more acres of forestland as they make forest management decisions that will balance their goals related to the fiscal management of their property as well as wildlife and forest sustainability.

The program will begin at 8 a.m. EDT and will run through lunch. An optional 7 a.m. breakfast is available for forest professionals who wish to network and share experiences. Chris Erwin, director of southern forest conservation with the American Tree Farm System will be the luncheon speaker.

The field day will feature UT experts and professionals with private organizations as well as state and federal agencies as speakers and will include tours focusing on a variety of forest management topics including wildlife management, reforestation, forest health and best management practices. Specific topics will include intercropping of oak and pine, interpreting data from a forest inventory analysis, establishing constructed wetlands on small plots, integrated pest management monitoring and white-tailed deer management.

Lisa Muller, an associate professor in the UT Depart-

October 15 event at the UT Arboretum is free and open to the public ment of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries, along with Jerry Middleton, a biologist with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, will give a special presentation on Tennessee bats and the UT Arboretum Bat Monitoring Project.

Also, Richard Evans, retired director of the UT Forest Resources AgResearch and Education Center and UT Arboretum, will help the community and the Institute of Agriculture celebrate 50 years of research and outreach at the UT Oak Ridge Forest by presenting an oral history of the facility. Evans retired in 2011 with nearly 40 years of service at the research center.

Kevin Hoyt, current director of the center and arboretum, is pleased to be hosting the field day in conjunction with the Tennessee Forestry Association’s 63rd Annual Convention being held in Oak Ridge October 15 -17. “We hope visitors to the convention and visitors just coming out for the field day enjoy their day at the Arboretum, and we hope they learn about our center and about current research of relevance to industry as well as the small woodlot or family forest landowner,” Hoyt said. “Whether a landowner is interested in timber production, forest health or wildlife management, the staff and faculty

of the center and the UT Institute of Agriculture are here to help,” he added.

Admission to the event is free and includes lunch, but advance pre-registration is encouraged for planning purposes. To pre-register call 865-483-3571, or send an email to utforest@utk.edu. To request an accommodation for accessibility, call 865-483-3571.
