Million $$ meds Medical care for jail inmates is increasingly costly, and the Union County Commission is seeking solutions.

Finance Director Ann Dyer said medical care for inmates costs the county about $1 million a year, or one-sixth of the general government budget.

Other counties have found outsourcing to save significant money.

State provides for computers

By Sandra Clark

Union County Public Schools ls will be getting new computers, s, computer upgrades and software ree licenses from a one-time state alllocation of $51 million.

The Budget and Finance Committee of the county commission approved a $400,000 grant Sept.

3, and the full commission is expected to OK it Monday, Sept. 9.

Dr. Jimmy Carter, director of schools, said Donald Tharpe will oversee the upgrades. “The state is requiring all (TCAP and Common Core) tests to be online by 2015, so this is Union County’s share of the funds appropriated to prepare for that.”

Director of Finance Ann Dyer said the system could spend twice this amount.

Tharpe and school administrators will develop a plan for upgrades. Carter said the work will be done this year.

In many ways, Union County is ahead of most systems. Several years ago, then-technology supervisor Wayne Goforth got broadband service via cable to each school. Just this year a $50,000 memorial donation from Freddy Brasfield launched a new media

Excitement builds for Baptist reunion

By Betsy Pickle Family reunions are a familiar concept. So are reunions marking the anniversary of an event, like a high school graduation.

Among former employees of Baptist Hospital of East Tennessee, “family” is how they see themselves. And 2013 is definitely a milestone – the fifth anniversary of the closing of the venerable hospital on Blount Avenue.

So … it’s party time!

Former Baptist employees have been meeting since June to plan a reunion, which will take place 1-5

and without grading papers.

Likewise, with the end-of-year testing on computer, the results will be available within days, rather than months. Principals and teachers can use test results in making class assignments, for instance.

p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, at Tennova South Ambulatory Care Center, 7323 Chapman Highway. The organizing meetings have been like mini-reunions for the committee, with memories and laughter flowing along with ideas.

At a recent meeting at Broadway Baptist Church, chair Patsy Boling wowed her friends with her initiative. Knocking off agenda items one by one, Boling would invite reports from those who’d been working on the assignment, then mention something she’d done to help research options.

Sometimes, her colleagues had to rein her in.

“What about two-way radios?” asked Boling. “It’s a big place.”

“We can use cell phones,” responded Lisa Stearns.

As the event grows closer – Boling along with the Thursday, Sept. 12, deadline for registration at http://bhetreunion.eventbrite.com – the group is meeting more often and

making final decisions on things like sheet cakes vs. cupcakes, cloth vs. plastic tablecloths and T-shirts vs. other types of souvenirs. It’s crunch time, and they know it, but they’re determined to put together the best reunion possible for their “family.”

The event is free for former employees, physicians and auxiliary and board members (plus a guest).

The committee held a fundraising drive to cover the costs – which didn’t include things like printed invitations.

Walk On, Union County

By Libby Morgan

Rhonda Turner has won the battle, keeping off her extra weight for over 10 years. Photo by Ruth White

Rhonda Turner received a challenge from her doctor back in 1997.

“I had health problems, my medicine was causing memory loss, and my doctor said I needed to lose at least 40 pounds,” says Turner. “And then he told me I wouldn’t do it.”

“At my top weight of 218 pounds, I could hardly walk.

I felt terrible. But I started walking, just a little at a time. I got up to 30 minutes a day, and I gained strength, was able to walk a mile in my 30-minute workout.

“Then my doctor gave me another challenge: walk a mile in 15 minutes.”

And that’s what Turner is doing consistently, every day, seven miles a day.

“My husband joined me in walking, and he has lost his extra weight, too.

I burned off 96 pounds, and have kept it off over 12

Baptist reunion

years.”

Rhonda and husband Randy Turner of the property assessor’s office can be seen “walking off their day” in the evenings near their home in Maynardville.

“It’s a good time to vent, to talk about our future goals, to have family time,” says Rhonda. “We walk four miles after work.”

She gets the other miles in on her lunch and afternoon breaks at Clinton Family Physicians, where she works in the office.

“When I walk alone, it’s my prayer time.”

Rhonda is leading a weight loss support group, “Healthy For Life,” at the office in Clinton, meeting every other Monday at 5:30.

“We talk about our challenges and issues, nutrition and portion control, cooking healthy, and the doctors come and speak about what obesity causes. Everyone

is welcome to join us,” she says.

Rhonda and Randy are Union County’s success story and cheerleaders for a group being formed by Beth Bergeron and Neva Kitts through the Chamber and the Health Council of Union County.

“We are developing a brochure to help promote a walking program in Union County,” says Kitts. “We plan to have it ready for the Sept. 21 farmers market, where we will kick off our plan.

“There are so many great places to walk around here.

We’ve got the moderate Wilson Park trail, easy walks at Plainview, Paulette and Big Ridge School, and difficult trails at Big Ridge State Park.

“We hope to get groups together to meet at the various walking places to encourage each other and

make the walks more enjoyable.”

If you would like to join in and walk, contact Kitts at the Chamber office at 865-992-2811, or Bergeron at 865-992-0685, or meet Bergeron Saturday, Sept. 9, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the farmers market at Union County High parking lot.

“I’ve had people ask me, ‘When am I going to get an inv it at ion? ’” Joyce Porritt shared.

Her reply: “It’s called Facebook.”

At press Darden time, they already had reservations for 600-plus, about two-thirds of capacity. They’ve distributed fliers. Boling and Cynthia Campbell reported a scheduled TV appearance.

Glenda Darden of Halls started nursing school at Baptist in 1958 and Rankin after graduating worked there for 40 years.

“I retired seven years before it closed,” said Darden.

“These 12 years I’ve been waiting for this reunion.”

The group credits physician David Rankin, who chaired the board when Baptist closed, for coming up with the reunion idea, but he says his contribution was encouraging the right people to lead.

“Patsy and Glenda are patients of mine,” says Rankin, who now is affiliated with the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

“Usually when people from Baptist come in to the office we talk about Baptist and how it’s family. Patsy and I were talking, and she told me it’s been five years (since the hospital closed).

“And I said, ‘Five years?

We ought to have a reunion!’

We started talking about it.

I said, ‘Patsy, you need to be head of this.’ She said, ‘Oh, head of what?’

“And then Ms. Darden came in the next week, and I said, ‘You and Patsy need to talk about this.’ So it went

from there.”

Boling graduated from nursing school at Baptist in May 1973 and immediately went to work in orthopedics.

She went on to spend 22 years in ICU, then moved to the nursing office in 1997 and stayed until it closed in 2008.

“I was one of the last people to leave, actually, in the inpatient nursing area, and then we went to St. Mary’s,” said Boling, who’s now retired. She’s serious about being part of the Baptist family.

“I felt like I grew up there,” she said. “Being in nursing school there and having all my friends and meeting head nurses and doctors at that time and then working as a nurse, it just really felt like a family. And I can say that I haven’t felt that at any other place that I worked. It’s been great.”

government Million dollar meds

Medical care for jail inmates is increasingly costly, and the Union County Commission is seeking solutions.

Finance Director Ann Dyer said medical care for inmates costs the county about $1 million a year, or one-sixth of the general government budget. Other counties have found outsourcing to save significant money, she said.

Commissioner J.M. Bailey chairs a committee which met Monday prior to the scheduled Budget and Finance Committee meeting. Owners of Quality Medical Center presented an alternative to the current system.

Nurse Practitioner Cheri Sweet and business manager Kristi Walker proposed to take over the contract.

Sheriff Earl Loy Jr. and officer Mike Butcher were present.

“We’re from Union County and we want to help out,” said Walker.

“We’re trying to save money, also,” said Bailey, “but if there’s no one there to make a decision, it’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.”

Walker said the company’s phones are answered 24/7 with Sweet or someone on call for emergencies.

A humorous moment came when Sweet quizzed Butcher on how many inmates he has with chronic conditions, such as diabetes.

“Just because they get out on Friday doesn’t mean they’re not coming back,” said Butcher, stone-faced.

Commissioner Sheila Buckner said the jail currently houses four pregnant inmates.

Sandra Clark

“I’m in family practice,” said Sweet. “I can do everything from birth to death and I have.” Sweet, who lives in Claiborne County, has been a nurse practitioner for three years and a nurse for 15, working in various areas including cardiac care and ICU. Dyer confirmed that the county often overspends its budget for prisoner medical care. “We start out hopeful,” she said. “We inherit the health of those we incarcerate. You never know what you’ll come up with.”

Currently, services are handled by the county’s coroner, Dr. Carroll Rose of Claiborne County, and his nurse, Dyer said.

Bailey wants another meeting, saying, “We need more information.”

Sunshine, please!

Union County government must step up notification of public meetings.

Committee meetings such as those on health care for inmates are of vital concern to citizens. Your window to these proceedings is coverage by reporters.

Dark Hollow: Then and now There’s one thing for sure, Union County does not have a trademark on the name “Dark Hollow.”

When I started to research the name, I found references to Dark Hollow many places and in several states. There’s a book called “Dark Hollow” and a song called “Dark Hollow,” written by Bill Browning and recorded by The Grateful Dead.

Another song that is very similar, at least in one verse, is called East Virginia Blues. I do not know the author, but it was recorded

by Jesse McReynolds of Jim and Jesse and others.

Apparently it is just too late to know who named our Union County Dark Hollow.

I’ve asked several people including Roberta Anderson Ridenour and Georgia Weaver Campbell. These folks are just too young to know!

I think the songs tell us the “why” of Dark Hollow.

Both songs have a line “...

Bonnie Peters

where the sun don’t ever shine.” I can imagine a long, narrow hollow shaded by trees that let in very little light. It’s probably like a nickname – some creative mind uttered dark hollow, and it stuck in the minds of local people.

The Dark Hollow of olden times is now under Norris Lake, but Dark Hollow Road runs north and south intersected by Highway 61 West near the Girl Scout Camp Tanasi.

To the north, Dark Hollow Road runs into the lake, and to the south into Anderson County just beyond Tudor Hollow Road.

There was an early school called Dark Hollow School

Dark Hollow I’d rather be in some dark hollow Where the sun don’t ever shine Than to be in some big city In a small room with a girl on my mind …

East Virginia Blues I’d rather be in some dark hollow Where the sun don’t ever shine Than for you to be some other man’s darling When you ain’t no longer mine.

When I’m asleep I’m dreaming about you When I wake I have no rest Every moment seems like an hour All the pain rolls through my breast.

In one picture Charles E. Claiborne and then-superintendent of schools W. H. Thomas are photographed.

Names familiar to this area are: Loy, Smith, Langley, McCoy, Hutchinson, Cooper, Beeler, Rutherford, Weaver, Troxler and others.

Hall of Fame finally admits Bernard King Eighteen old Vols are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Bernard King is the first former player in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Think about that – 18 to 1. Is Tennessee a football school or what?

Marvin West

Bernard was enshrined Sunday in Springfield, Mass. The honor was a long time coming. Ages ago the Ernie and Bernie Show packed Stokely Center.

After that, it took years and years of repeated nominations to convince

selectors that the bestever Volunteer and former NBA great deserved a place among the immortals.

There never was any question about basketball talent and accomplishments. The honors committee was undoubtedly waiting to see how King, 56, turned out as a man.

The same might be said of former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian. He, too, made a few waves.

In addition to BK and Tark, this class featured Louisville coach Rick Pitino and former Houston coach Guy Lewis.

Sorry the hall took soooo long to recognize Bernard.

Ray Mears and Stu Aberdeen would have really enjoyed the occasion.

It was Stu, a New Yorker, who persuaded King to come from Brooklyn to

join fellow New Yorker Ernie Grunfeld for the best of times at Tennessee. It was Stu who stayed and stayed with the recruiting project when others thought King would not meet NCAA academic standards. Rivals believed that coffee stain on the high school transcript ledger covered a D. Stu, tenacious researcher, argued it was a B. Bernard many times tested Mears’ patience but the coach did deep-breathing exercises and learned to tolerate this unusual superstar.

Only King would have brought a hamburger and fries to a pre-practice briefing. Such meetings were almost formal.

Nobody would have dared stop the team bus, hop off and jog into a drug store for AA batteries. What

Old friends Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.

(Hebrews 13:2 NRSV)

I first learned this verse when I was a very young child.

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans had lost Robin, a Down syndrome child, when she was only two years old.

Dale wrote a book about Robin’s short life, and titled it “Angel Unaware.” I asked my mother, who was reading the book to me and my brother, what that meant.

She told me about this verse

from Hebrews.

It was years before I learned the deeper meaning of it: that it was a reference to Abraham’s visitation from the angels (Genesis 18); and the wider meaning: that we are visited by angels in this life in the form of dear and beloved friends who bless us.

Let me tell you about two angelic visitations I had just this week.

Cross Currents

Lynn Pitts

I was shopping far from home over Labor Day weekend: in Durham, N.C., where I knew no one except the dear friends my husband and I were visiting. We were in a store that specializes in fabulous food, as well as ordinary groceries. I was walking toward the front of the store, when I realized that someone had stopped dead, right in my path. (I

was King to do? His music machine was dragging.

Bernard King, he of fierce intensity, amazing quickness on turnaround jumpers, very aggressive board play, rare ability to slither through a tiny defensive crack in transition, was three times player of the year in the Southeastern Conference (1975–1977).

He averaged 25.8 points and 13.2 rebounds and racked up a record 62 double-doubles in 76 career games. Twenty-six times he scored 30 or more. He played with pure passion and despised Kentucky twice that much.

After King’s first appearance in Lexington, a taunting UK fan dropped a lighted cigarette into his hair.

Bernard swore he would never again lose to the Wildcats. He didn’t.

The warrior had a softer side. He wrote poetry.

I know that for a fact. He wouldn’t let me see but he read to Sarah West.

King scored 19,655 points and averaged 22.5 in the NBA. He scored 60 one Christmas Day and had 50 in back-to-back games for the New York Knicks.

He played in four all-star games. His greatest accomplishment was fighting back from a horrible knee injury at the peak of his career.

There was a time when Mark Aguirre said “He was unstoppable. Also unbelievable.”

Dominique Wilkins said Bernard was the only man he ever played against who caused fear.

“He scared the hell out of me.”

Knicks fans, late at night, after hard lemonades, will

tell you that Bernard, before the knee injury, was a better small forward than Larry Bird – and a greater scorer than Michael Jordan. Even if that sounds crazy, don’t laugh. King was really good.

Bernard had a few minor problems at Tennessee and more serious ones as a pro.

Thank goodness, all have been settled, forgiven or forgotten.

For 30 years, he was estranged from UT. Bruce Pearl got him back. Bernard spoke to the team and the Tennessee Tipoff Club. He addressed a Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame dinner. He made sense and looked great in his doublebreasted suit.

He adds value to the Hall of Fame.

had been rubbernecking to that point, astonished at the vast array of specialty, wonderful, exotic, fattening foods available.)

I focused, then, on the smiling face in front of me and realized it was Linda, one of my volunteers from my days at Volunteer Ministry Center. She had been a special friend there, possessed of a good listening ear and a level head; she was someone whose advice and opinions I valued and sought. She was standing there waiting for recognition to dawn.

When it did, I fell into her arms, and we laughed a lot and cried a little. “What are you doing here?” we asked each other, pretty much at the same time. It seems we were both visiting friends,

and that neither of us had ever been to Durham before.

We were so astonished at the coincidence of our meeting that we could hardly get through introductions of her friends and my husband. Before she left the store, she came back to give me another hug, and tell me again that I had made an imprint on her heart.

I was basking in the afterglow of that encounter, when I received an e-mail from the wife of one of my former pastors. Gordon and Mary were dear friends who shaped and formed me when I was a college student trying to figure out what I believed and why I believed it.

They moved years ago to Joplin, Mo., and when the

horrible tornado hit there (was it last year or this?), almost obliterating the town, I could not locate them. Another good friend, also at the Volunteer Ministry Center, helped me search, with no luck.

When I got home from my trip to Durham, still glowing from the angelic visitation from Linda, I got an e-mail from Mary, saying that she had found me online quite by chance, because they have a friend in their church named Lynn Pitts.

“The Lord is good, all the time,” as the saying goes.

However, as Carol, yet another of my VMC volunteers reminded me occasionally, “Sometimes He excels!”

Angels unawares, indeed: one and all.

There are few things more frustrating than paying good money for grass seed, going to the trouble of planting it, and then ending up with nothing.

Unfortunately, this happens from time to time. We could fill a book with what to do and what not to do to successfully establish grass, but I want to focus on just three important topics.

These suggestions will apply whether we are seeding bare spots in a lawn or planting a hayfield.

Right seed

There is no point establishing a type of grass in a place where it will not survive. There are lots of species and varieties of grass out there, and they are not all adapted to East Tennessee weather.

There are seed premixes (prepackaged seeds containing two or more different species or varieties) that will thrive here and seed premixes that will not.

As a general rule, fescues will do well here; bluegrasses will not. Orchardgrass can do well in our climate; timothy is more fickle. Even though it has its drawbacks, for seeding a lawn, pasture, or hayfield, it is hard to beat KY31 fescue. It will take abuse, overgrazing, close mowing, drought and heat better than any cool-season grass. â&#x2013;

Right time

There are basically two times a year when cool-season grasses (like fescue and orchardgrass) can be established with a reasonable degree of success: early spring and late summer/early fall.

Cool-season grasses may be planted at other times, but suc-

Friendly Advice from the Co-op

Will Phillips cess is less certain. While spring is a fair time to plant, late summer and early fall are the best times to plant cool-season grasses like fescue and orchardgrass. Warm-season grasses, like bermudagrass, should be planted in early-mid summer. â&#x2013;

Right depth

A common cause of failure when attempting to establish grass is planting the seed too deep. If using a no-till drill to plant grass, make sure the seed depth is not deeper than 1/4 inch (and 1/8 inch is even better). If you work up the ground prior to planting, run over it with a cultipacker to firm the seed bed, then sow seed on top of the ground.

Go over it again with a cultipacker or roller to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. There is no need to cover the seed with soil.

It is much better to sow grass seed on top of the ground than to plant it too deep!

Come to the water â&#x20AC;&#x153;For you were called for freedom, brothers. But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather, serve one another through love.â&#x20AC;?

(Gal. 5:13) Fr. Steve Pawelk Freedom is one of the highest American values. Paul also writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.â&#x20AC;?

(Gal. 5:1) How, then, do we use our freedom? Does the use of our freedom give honor to the freedom from sin Christ has gained for us?

Two types of negative responses are common. First, too many people exercise their freedom for personal pleasure and gain, often in sinful activities. Even if these activities might be legal, if they do not lift the soul or correspond to the way of Christ they only enslave us to a life of darkness and doom.

A moment of pleasure could lead one to a lifetime of misery. Second, sometimes Christians and others in trying to persuade people to live right, use harsh and judgmental language. Calling anyone names or degrading someone who disagrees with

us can cause scandal to our proclamation of the love and mercy of Christ.

St. Paul expands in Gal. 5:14-15 â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You shall love your neighbor as yourself. But if you go on biting and devouring one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.â&#x20AC;? The ability to disagree without being disagreeable seems be disappearing in our public and even private discourse. Just because we have the freedom of speech does not mean we should speak in a way that belittles or defames others, even public officials we do not like or trust.

The letter of James states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, his religion is vain. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world.â&#x20AC;? (James 1:26).

Let us use our freedom to praise Christ in all we do and say.

Arts directors connect The neighboring arts centers of the Union County Arts Cooperative and the Fountain City Art Center have energetic, dedicated directors. Each is challenged to maintain and advance her center in a competitive environment.

Libby Morgan

Fountain City’s executive director Sylvia Williams, along with her board, volunteers and artists, has persevered for more than 10 years, growing the center, raising funds, promoting classes and events, and working tirelessly.

Union County Arts Coop director Susan Boone, in comparison, is just getting started. The UCAC is just over a year old.

And, until last week, the two had never met.

“I worked my first year without a paycheck, too,” said Williams, when Boone disclosed she has worked without compensation since the inception of the co-op.

Williams and Boone, with Neva Kitts stopping by, discussed common challenges and opportunities over lunch, surrounded by art created by Union Countians in the Maynardville shop.

Strategies to realize a successful center in Union County include making it more of a true cooperative, requiring artists to become more responsible for time spent clerking and maintaining the building and grounds; and the possibility

of creating a dues structure.

Boone and Williams discussed events to draw more people in, and fundraising.

FCAC holds an annual garden party, greatly enhanced by local arts supporters Ginger and Bill Baxter, on their estate in Fountain City. There is also an annual tea, a mystery dinner and a holiday party.

Art-A-Palooza is coming up Sept. 19-21, a sale of art and artwork-related items, food, activities and live music. Classes and workshops are ongoing at FCAC. The Fountain City Art Guild has been a driving force for promoting the arts in the area for many years, and was pivotal to the formation of the arts center.

Williams took her time to view the items on display at UCAC, and recognized many of the artists.

“I was very impressed by the wide variety of artwork and craftwork on display at the Union County Arts Cooperative,” she said. “The co-op is another example of all the talent and interest in the arts that we have in East Tennessee.

“We all need to keep encouraging each other; we should share ideas about what works and what doesn’t work. In my opinion, the more art-related displays, sales, events, and opportunities for artists, the better!”

UCAC has had a much shorter history, and a much shorter list of supporters than FCAC, but the shop contains hundreds of examples of beautiful art.

“We do really well on the days there’s something going on in Maynardville, like Art on Main and the Heritage Festival, but that’s very seldom. Those days

Below, musician Clay Worthley is a Thursday tradition at the UC Arts Co-op.

Neva Kitts, Union County Arts Co-op director Susan Boone, and Fountain City Art Center director Sylvia Williams meet for a strategy session at the UCAC. Photos by Libby Morgan carry us for a month or two, then we’re so broke again we can’t pay the utility bill to heat and cool this old house,” said Boone.

“Some days I’ll have only one or two customers come in.”

The arts co-op is on Main Street a few doors up from the courthouse in the historic Dr. Carr home, a frame house built around 1900, lacking insulation and weather-tight windows. But without a doubt the place has character.

The homeyness is apparent from the street, with front porch chairs and blooming plants welcoming visitors. Inside, the house retains the original rooms, albeit stuffed with attractive art of all kinds in every inch of space available.

Every Thursday morning at UCAC, Clay Worthley can dependably be found, many times with various other musicians, in a jam session.

“Clay’s support of the arts co-op is incredible. When

he’s here it really livens up the place, and visitors are pleased to see and hear him,” says Boone. “A couple came in recently and danced on the porch to his music.”

“I try to match the music I play to the people who come in,” says Worthley. “I play just about any genre.

I’m just here to help promote the arts co-op.”

Boone and Williams expressed appreciation for the other: “The most impressive part of the Union County Arts Co-op is, beyond a doubt, Susan Boone. She is there every day Tuesday through Saturday – a real

Chiropractic: the earlier the better Chiropractic Outlook

By Dr. Darrell Johnson, DC As with most forms of health care, chiropractic treatment is most effective when it’s brought to bear in the early stages of a condition. This is especially true in dealing with acute lower back pain. For a lower back problem, spinal manipulation is most helpful when it begins within the first month, according to guidelines published by the U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy Research. In fact, if you haven’t seen positive results after eight to 12 visits, chiropractic care may not be the proper course of treatment for your situation. As is customary, your chiropractor won’t hesitate to refer you to another health care provider.

The benefit of early chiropractic treatment is not restricted, of course, to the back. Your body has more than 200

bones and connective components like muscle, tendons and ligaments. Most of those bones are capable of movement and come together at joints. The bones, just like the vertebrae that make up the spine, have certain positions they’re designed by nature to occupy. They also have a specific range of motion. When any of these moving parts get out of line, whether it’s through trauma, like a fall or a car accident, or through overuse, you can experience pain, discomfort and/or loss of function. The sooner you put these problems in the hands of a chiropractor, the sooner you’re likely to get relief.

Brought to you as a community service by Union County Chiropractic; 110 Skyline Drive, Maynardville, TN; 992-7000.

Why Pre-Plan?

By planning now, you have the peace of mind that everything will be taken care of.
