Happy Valentine’s Day

Corner Nest Antique Mall Welcomes Valentine’s; Spring around the corner Elizabethton, TN. --- Love is in the air at the wildly popular Corner Nest Antique Mall, located at 100 West Elk Avenue near the heart of downtown business district, where owner Robin Blackwell has been busy decorating the store in a Valentine’s motif. The store has been restocked after the Christmas holidays with an outstanding array of unique and collectable items worthy of display in any home or business. On a recent visit, Out ‘N About Magazine ran into Cindy Buck, who along with her cousin, Sue Carden, are new vendors at Corner Nest. The cousins display a wide variety of antiques on the first floor of this massive antique mall. They join 90 other vendors whose booths present a wide variety of items and wares too numerous to mention. “We simply fell in love with this place when we first visited,” Cindy says. “Our 92 year-old great aunt recently passed away and we inherited all kinds of antiques that we didn’t have use or room for. So what do you do with it? You display it here because people are looking for quality antiques and a bargain and that is what we offer.” Cindy said business has been brisk even though they just opened their booth recently. “I gotta say people come here from everywhere looking for great stuff at a reasonable price,” she said matter-of-factly. “You know around here people buy from Corner Nest because they know they are getting quality merchandise at a reasonable price. Sue and I enjoy this business and we are not interested in making a killing. We sell our stuff and bring in more. We offer a variety and we are all on a budget so we know we need to [and want] to make things accessible and affordable.” The cousins’ great aunt was an art collector and they have great pictures for sale as well as old tea pots, dishes, brass items and other things “that are hard to
let go,” Cindy said with a smile. Two other vendors who have delightful and interesting booths featured in photos in this month’s Out ‘N About Magazine are Barbara Barnshill and Ann Hill. Their booths are just around the corner from Cindy and Sue’s booth so make sure you stop when you head down the aisle on the first floor. Both Barnshill and Hill’s booths are stocked to the hilt with interesting items and when you visit Corner Nest Antique Mall you’ll want to take your time and browse through those ladies delightful booths as well as the others. And, don’t forget to go upstairs where there is another ton of merchandise inside this 30,000 + square foot complex all under one roof. It is really quite amazing what you’ll see and find inside. Another vendor with some “neat stuff” is Mike Snapp from Johnson City. Snapp owns Old Farm Reclaimed Lumber Works and his idea of refurbishing the lumber out of old barns being torn down has resulted in putting over 100 people to work in the region. “I started looking at barns that were about to drop after my dad [P.C. Snapp] was looking for some wormy chestnut for a project. I found it in an old barn but I was also left with oak and walnut so I got the idea to preserve the wood and have it refurbished and the rest [as they say] is history. Snapp and his craftsmen make durable Lazy Susans, cake boards, rustic furniture and flooring out of old barns that here-to-fore were many time burned to the ground. You can find a variety of his items at the Corner Nest Antique Mall and he ships all across the United States.

Out ‘ N About Magazine
Veteran Johnson City police chief retiring in May Johnson City, TN. --- After 39 years of public service John Lowry, Johnson City’s popular Chief of Police, recently announced his retirement effective May 17. Lowry has been police chief since 2003 and a member of the department for 34 years. He began his career with the City of Johnson City as a member of the rescue squad. Speaking to Out ‘N About Magazine recently Lowry said, “I have had a great career and feel I have been very fortunate to be afforded the opportunity to lead an outstanding group of men and women with the Johnson City Police Department (JCPD). I believe I am leaving this organization better than it was [but] that is mainly due to the hard work and dedication of the great people who work for it.” Recognized as one of the premier law enforcement agencies in Tennessee, the JCPD has received 18 years of continuous accreditation under Lowry. He oversaw the transition back from public safety (Police/Fire) to traditional Police and implemented cutting-edge technology for more efficient operations. Lowry is quick to point out his success is linked to the members of his department. Since 1978, the police department has more than doubled in size with most of the growth being funded through grants. He is proud of leading one of the few departments in the country that offers its employees the opportunity to train at the FBI academy. “We’ve been able to send one officer to the National Academy on a regular basis,” Lowry explained. “I’m a firm believer in leadership training and also being involved in the community in an effort to make our department the best we can be for the residents of Johnson City.” Lowry added that the annual National Night Out, Say No to Drugs, the Junior Citizens Academy, the Weed & Seed and JCPD’s Ride Along programs are just a few examples of how his de-
February 2012
partment has taken law enforcement into local communities in partnerships with residents. He lauded the Fraternal Order of Police for the annual Shop with a Cop program where, “those less fortunate can enjoy a good Christmas. It shows the kids that while officers have a duty to arrest people it also demonstrates that our officers care about them regardless of what their circumstances might be with their mom or dad,” he said. Concerning the department’s continued success throughout over three decades he said, “I think the department has excelled because we have tried to hire the best people, professionally train them and provide the equipment they need to do a good job.” Lowry said his philosophy of getting the community involved also has paid off. “Years ago we had a standing order that you did not going into the Carver Community [public housing] by yourself. That has really changed and that community has grown by leaps and bounds. The success in Carver is not what the police department did but rather what the community did through their involvement with us in an effort to make the housing complex safe for all residents.” Officers within the department also have the ability to complete reports electronically from the field thus eliminating hand written reports that in the past had to be completed at the end of a shift. Safety-wise officers also enjoy the ability of knowing who is driving a vehicle once it is stopped and if there are any outstanding warrants existing again the individual. “We have the ability to crosscheck several resources in the field,” Lowry explained. “And, that not only makes us more efficient it provide an element of safety heretofore that didn’t exist.” During his tenure, Lowry was also able to convince the City Commission
JC Police Chief John Lowry.
to fund a position whereby an officer is assigned to federal court cases in Greeneville working with District Attorney General Tony Clark. “[Those] violent criminals involved in drug trafficking and repeat offenders are prosecuted in the federal system where they are facing some serious time. We don’t want them back on the streets in Johnson City.” Lowry said he was fortunate to have met and made friends with people from all over the country. He said that was one of the best parts of his job. The worst part he said was, “when you see somebody you can’t help. . .or who won’t listen and they end up in jail. They suffer the consequences and so do their family. That’s sad.” Lowry’s advice to the general public concerning vehicle safety is simple. “Everybody just needs to slow down, obey the traffic laws and wear their seat belts. I guess I’ve been preaching that for over 30 years because, believe it or not, we lose two to four people in traffic accidents for every homicide committed.”
John Lowry Factoid * Is an accomplished welder and enjoys making things in his spare time with his son. * With the help of friends, built his own wooden boat and fishes area rivers frequently. * Worked at Mor-Flo during high school to earn extra money [welder]. * Is a dog lover. * Plans to travel and fish when he retires in May.

Some tax law provisions expired in 2011 and some didn’t. How could you be affected? The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 (TRA 2010) extended many tax provisions through 2012. For example, capital gains and qualified dividends tax rates are extended through 2012 while numerous other targeted credits and incentives expired at the end of 2011. For example, a point of particular interest to restaurateurs and retail merchants is the expiration of the 15 year write off of leasehold improvements and other qualified realty assets at the end of 2011. Congress may choose to extend some tax provisions retroactively. However which tax provisions may be retroactively extended or what deficit reduction action congress may finally take may not be known until well into 2012. Taxpayers and their CPAs need to consider carefully how to take advantage of tax provisions that may expire at the end of 2012. Further, taxpayers and their CPAs need to consider how business plans going forward should be adjusted if expired tax provisions are not restored. There are several tax provisions that expired or dramatically changed with regard to depreciation at the end of 2011. For example the election to expense up to
February 2012
$500,000 of new assets under IRC sec. 179 is reduced to $139,000 in 2012 and decreases again to $25,000 in 2013. A strategy taxpayers may want to consider with their tax advisors is whether to purchase equipment during 2012 to utilize the remaining higher limit. Even if the taxpayer cannot utilize the election to the full extent of equipment purchased in 2012, it may be worth while to make the acquisition in 2012 assuming that higher limits will not be reinstated for 2012 and 2013. The elected expense can generally be used only to the extent of income in the particular year. However any unused expense is carried forward to 2013. Separately, the provision for 100% additional first year bonus depreciation for new assets (i.e. election to expense the entire cost of new assets) ceased at the end of 2011. In 2012 there will be a provision for 50% additional first year bonus depreciation. An important difference between bonus depreciation and assets expensed under IRC sec. 179 is that bonus depreciation can be used to generate a net operating loss to carry back to prior years. Deprecation under IRC sec. 179 can only be carried forward but can be applied to used equipment. Which depreciation option to use is a key planning point for taxpayers to
discuss with their tax preparer. Always remember – any investment decision should make good economic sense. Taxes should be considered only after the purchase is determined to be economically sound. It is ill advised to spend a dollar to save thirty five cents. Clearly, any small business considering asset acquisitions in 2012 or businesses that utilize targeted tax credits and incentives need to carefully consider the murky and shifting tax environment with their CPA or tax advisor before year-end. A final point, now that we are in tax filing season, please be sure that your tax information is well organized when you give it to your CPA. The only thing your CPA has to sell is his time. The more of your CPA’s time that you save; the more money you save. In the info center of our web page (www.lewiscpas.com) is a tax organizer to help you organize your tax information logically for your preparer. Again, always make sure any purchase or investment makes economic sense before considering tax consequencesWritten by Kenneth L.

Restaurant Review:
Wine tasting event big hit at Alta Cucina
Johnson City, TN. --- One of the most popular Italian restaurants in our region is Alta Cucina, located at 1200 North Roan Street. From time-to-time Chef Mo and his excellent staff puts together exquisite private wine tasting events within the restaurant’s private dining room. Last month’s event was no exception. The following wines were paired with oysters, seared tuna, lamb, and a hardy slice of lemon pie for dessert. Chateau Ste Michelle Eroica Riesling [Served with Oysters] Launched in 1999, Eroica is a labor of love for two of the world’s great Riesling producers. One from the Old World, Dr. Loosen estate of Germany, and the other from the New World, Chateau Ste. Michelle of Washington State. An intermingling of Old and New World philosophies and techniques enables the crafting an extraordinary Riesling from Washington state grapes. Named for Beethoven’s Third Symphony, Eroica reflects not only its variety and site, but also its heritage: bold and forward from its Washington roots, elegant and refined from German inspiration. The Riesling exudes mandarin orange and sweet lime aromas and flavors with subtle mineral notes. The mouth-watering acidity is beautifully balanced by flavorful Washington Riesling fruit. Colores del Sol Malbee [Served with Lamb] Colores del Sol is a new wine which delivers a higher level of Argentine Malbec. It is sourced exclusively from the Luján de Cuyo vineyard district within Mendoza, South America’s most prestigious winegrowing region. The vineyards in Luján de Cuyo are among the highest, driest, and sunniest in the world, at elevations reaching 3,500 feet. The grapes bask in bright, pure sunlight, inspiring the wine’s name: in English, ‘Colors of the Sun’. The wine has been crafted in a distinct style, combining cutting-edge winemaking skills with the authenticity and singular charm of the Malbec grape. It offers elegant aromatics, and a palate which frames
Page 14
bright, fresh fruit flavors in a medium-bodied structure. A modern wine from a traditional source of wine excellence, Colores del Sol invites you to experience a higher level of Malbec. Malbec is particularly successful in Mendoza, a region of high-elevation plains at the foot of the Andes mountains. This region is full of dense, old-vine vineyards which benefit from the region’s unique climate, and which are irrigated by pure water provided by melted snow from the Andes Mountains. In the glass, Malbecs are known for their power and intensity. They offer rich fruit similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, along with the plush character of Merlot. The classic food pairing for Argentine Malbec is grilled meat, but Colores del Sol’s bright flavors make it a highly versatile food-pairing wine. Villa Antinori Toscana Rosso [Served with seared Tuna] After a winter with a normal climate for the season, the spring was characterized by highly negative weather with lower than average temperatures and rains which continued even beyond mid-June. These conditions led to sanitary problems for the grapes, in particular to attacks of downy mildew. Flowering and bud set were delayed by the low temperatures, but at the end of June the weather changed for the better and
remained favorable for the rest of the summer. Ripening was achieved during the normal and traditional period for the different varieties: for Merlot, during the first ten days of September, immediately afterwards for Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon and, beginning on September 20th, for the Sangiovese harvest. The picking of the grapes concluded during the first half of October. Color: intense ruby red. Aroma: intense and complex with notes of spices, mint, and chocolate, which are particularly felt along with light aromas of rip cherries. On the palate the wine, savory and long, is full-bodied and round with supple and velvety tannins.
Alta Cucina is available for private wine tasting parties [and other celebrations or parties for that matter].
Cupcake Moscato [Served with Lemon Pie] Moscato is vibrant and expressive with floral notes that dominate with hints of peach and flavors of tropical fruits and lychee. It is a soft and luscious wine with just a hint of effervescence to tickle the palate and balance the sweetness. With bright fruit flavors and finesse, it’s reminiscent of a pineapple right-side up cupcake. Food Pairing Recommendations: Enjoy with mascarpone cheese or with any dessert such as fresh berries, lemon pie, and cream or vanilla bean poached pears. A fine time was had by all as the pictures indicate! Rachel Fleming, Sales Representative with B&T Distributing Company assisted with the wine tasting event.

Two UniqUe STageS . . . (Abingdon, Virginia) Two comedies are on tap to tickle the funny bone at Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia, as the 2012 season is kicked off next month. Beginning February 2, an encore production of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The 39 Steps,” one of the most popular plays in the theatre’s recent history, will get the season off to a hilarious start. Back by popular demand, the original cast will step inside this zany world filled with mystery, intrigue and insane hilarity once again: Sean Campos, Ben Mackel, Hannah Ingram and Nathan Whitmer – but, for a limited time only. Barter Theatre only has an appropriate amount of performances planned for “The 39 Steps;” yes, you guessed it – 39! “Almost all of the performances were sold out over the summer, and we expect the same to be true this time so be sure to purchase your tickets early,” said Richard Rose, artistic director of Barter Theatre. That’s what happens when you mix the talented actors at Barter Theatre with a Hitchcock masterpiece mixed with a juicy spy novel mixed with an added dash of Monty Python for some frothy goodness. You get a fastpaced whodunit for anyone who loves to laugh and enjoys the magic of great theatre! This secret agent adventure will have you on the edge of your seat agasp and giddy with the humor of four actors playing 150 characters and will keep you guessing what is going to happen next. Then, get ready to take care of business with “9 to 5: The Musical.” Dolly Parton’s Grammy-

nominated score is direct from Broadway, and Barter Theatre is one of the first regional theatre’s to acquire the rights to produce it! It’s a musical comedy full of laughter and side-splitting Southern sass as three women scheme to take control of their company and learn there’s nothing they can’t do, even in a man’s world. Hilarious and a little romantic, “9 to 5: The Musical” is about joining forces and taking care of business. Ashley Campos, Tricia Matthews and Erin Parker star in this musical based on the film starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin (who also just happens to be a Barter Theatre alum). Also coming this spring is Richard Rose’s adaptation of Charles Dicken’s “A Tale of Two Cities” and a brand new musical by Jack Eric Williams and Johnson City native Randy Buck, “Swamp Gas and Shallow Feelings.” As a non-profit arts organization, Barter Theatre is funded in part by the National Endowment of the Arts and the Virginia Commission for the Arts.

Renovations on going at local landmarks Elizabethton, TN. & Abingdon, VA. --- Three iconic landmarks have recently gotten the attention of government and civic leaders as they upgrade these famous local properties. Elizabethton’s covered bridge, one of only a handful left in the state, is undergoing $400,000 in renovations while the Barter Theatre in Abingdon is also undergoing an expansion project. And, last summer, the Carter County Veteran’s Memorial which anchors Elk Avenue in Elizabethton near the famed covered bridge received a $10,000 facelift as well as new landscaping thanks to local resident Mike Melton who donated
$1,300 to the project. The 100 year-old monument was dedicated in 1913 to all veterans of all wars and is photographed by tourists almost as much as its sister across the river is [the covered bridge]. In November, the Tennessee Department of Transportation approved a comprehensive renovation construction grant for the covered bridge that has seen similar attention throughout the years. The bridge, built in 1882, cost [at the time] $3,000 to construct. The grant from the state will enable the covered bridge to receive a new roof, siding and support to the existing structure. It will get a fresh

coat of paint, a sprinkler system and a security system will be installed. Weather permitting the bridge will reopen sometime in the spring. However, only foot and bicycle traffic will be allowed to cross the famed bridge for fear that automobile traffic would damage the landmark. At the Barter Theatre, Richard Rose, artistic director, recently announced an expansion project that will enable the theatre to better serve its patrons. While the theatre was “dark” during January the [front house] received some much needed renovations to the lobby and additional restrooms were added. And in an effort to be “more customer friendly” Rose said more attention was being placed on handicapped patrons. “The flow in and out of the theatre will be much better beginning with our 2012 season,” Rose added.

“Our numbers have grown to the point that our patrons need better accessibility and the demand for more bathrooms has been on the top of our agenda for some time.” These improvements to some of our region’s most beloved proper-
ties will enhance our visitation to them for years to come. And, for Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia they play an important part in hosting thousands of visitors throughout the year from all over the world.

People with sleep disorders now have an alternative:
REM Center for Sleep tackles sleep apnea Erwin, TN. --- Are you experiencing trouble getting a good night’s sleep? A new recently opened Tri-Cities sleep clinic may be the answer in changing that situation. While 20 million adult men and women have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a condition causing them to stop breathing repeatedly during sleep because the airway collapses, it is treatable. When healthy sleep is interrupted in this way, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and other serious health conditions may increase. Brian Glover recently opened REM Center for Sleep in Erwin, conveniently located adjacent Unicoi County Memorial Hospital, in an effort to help people treat problems associated with sleep apnea. Airway collapse may be due to such factors as a large tongue, extra tissue in the airway, or decreased muscle tone holding the airway open. These pauses in breathing can happen 30 times or more per hour. OSA can occur in anyone regardless of age, sex or size. Many people do not even realize they suffer from the condition. Often, it is someone else who witnesses the first signs of OSA.
Key signs and symptoms of OSA include:
*Excessive daytime sleepiness *Loud or disruptive snoring *Gasping or choking during sleep Other common symptoms include: *Grogginess and morning headaches *Frequent urination at night *Depression and irritability *Obesity *Large neck/crowding of the upper airway *Post-menopausal women
structive Sleep Apnea, see your doctor. Evaluation by a doctor specializing in sleep disorders is recommended. And, have a sleep study done because a sleep study can provide your physician with information concerning how you sleep and breathe. When you enter the REM Center for Sleep for a Sleep Apnea study, you will immediately get the feeling of being in a home environment. “Our mission is to provide the highest quality sleep study for our patients in a comfortable environment using the latest technology,” Glover explained. The most common treatment for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is CPAP [commonly referred to as seePap.] PAP therapy will relieve the airway obstruction that occurs while you sleep. PAP treatment can dramatically improve the life of someone diagnosed with sleep apnea. The system is designed to be worn every night during sleep to deliver optimum therapy that can result in the following benefits:
*Increased energy level and attentiveness during the day *Fewer morning headaches *Reduced irritability *Improved memory *Less nightly bathroom trips *Increased ability to exercise *Increased effectiveness at home or at work *Improved overall quality of life

Johnson City Symphony Orchestra begins 42nd season
The February concert in the Johnson City Symphony Orchestra’s 42nd season brings back Valentina Lisitsa as guest artist under the direction of Robert J. Seebacher, the symphony’s music director and conductor. Ms. Lisitsa, who wowed the symphony’s audience last season as a last-minute substitute for an ill guest artist, will perform on the piano in Franz Liszt’s Totentanz and his Piano Concerto No. 1. The February concert is sponsored by Jim and Sandy Powell. The concert features work by JeanSibelius, Franz Liszt, and NocolaiRimskyKorsakov. ValentinaLisitsa, who was born in Kiev, began to study piano at age three and performed her first solo at four. Ms. Lisitsa moved to the United States and became a U.S. citizen after studying at Lysenko School of Music and Kiev Conservatory. She has performed in the world’s most prestigious concert venues, and is at ease in a vast repertoire ranging from Bach and Mozart to Shostakovich and Bernstein. She admits to having a special affinity for the music of Rachmaninoff and Beethoven and is currently embarking on the ambitious project of recording all 32 of Beethoven’s sonatas. Ms. Lisitsa has recorded more than a dozen CDs, including her best-selling set of Chopin’s 24 Etudes. Born to poor parents on the Austro-Hungarian border in 1811, Franz Liszt became the most cosmopolitan of all 19th-century musicians. A great pianist, he also was accomplished as a conductor and a daring composer who pushed piano-playing technique and the elements of musical construction to heights not seen before. Liszt’s Totentanz (Dance of Death) is a set of variations on the Dies Irae (Day of Judgement) movement from the Requiem Mass of the Catholic Church. Full of Liszt’s dramatic de-
February 2012
Valentina Lisitsa
vices and daunting technique, Totentanz ranges from the grotesque to the contemplative to the radiant. Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in Eflat major was conceived in the 1830s while Liszt was on tour playing the piano throughout Europe. He finally finished it in 1848, after he settled down in Weimar, Germany, to devote his time to composing, conducting, and teaching. The concerto is a brilliant combination of piano virtuosity and musical quality, using thematic transformation of one or two melodic ideas to unify the entire work. Born at the time Finland was under the rule of Russia, Jean Sibelius grew up immersed Finnish folk literature. Finland had been dominated by both Sweden (most
Finns at that time grew up learning Swedish and not Finnish) and Russia, and when it finally became independent in 1917, parts of what were traditionally considered Finland, like the region of Karelia, remained under Russian rule. In 1893, during the Karelianmovement and the general trend toward nationalism in the arts, Sibelius composed incidental music to accompany a pageant made up of a series of seven historic tableaux for the Viipuristudents union. He took three of the pieces to use in his KareliaSuite, published in 1906, depicting three of the scenes from the original pageant piece—a procession paying tribute to the Duke of Lithuania; a minstrel (with music based on Finnish folk tunes)
entertaining Karl Knutsen, king of Sweden; and preparations for a siege—a dramatic call to battle. When an older brother cut off Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s piano lessons, his teacher turned young Nicolai toward composition and theory—and the rest is history. Rimsky-Korsakov became a master of orchestration. Tchaikovsky called Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol “a colossal masterpiece of instrumentation.” In this piece, the composer presents the listener with an aural landscape featuring a variety of musical scenes inspired by the warmth and sunshine of the Iberian Peninsula, creating new sounds by using different instruments for nearly identical segments of the music.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, February 25, at the Mary B. Martin Auditorium of Seeger Chapel at Milligan College. Individual concert tickets are $30, $20 for seniors (65+), and $10 for students. The symphony accepts Master Card, Visa, and Discover. Free bus service is available from Colonial Hill, leaving at 6:15 p.m.; Maplecrest and Appalachian Christian Village, at 6:30; and City Hall, at 6:45 p.m. A limited number of free student tickets are available with a student ID. Concerts are partially funded under an agreement with the Tennessee Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information, call the symphony office at 423926-8742.

Recipe For A Perfect Valentine’s Day By: Toby Laek, Producer, Daytime Tri-Cities
Valentine’s Day is upon us and love is in the air. It can be great to get dressed up and have a fun evening on the town, but sometimes it’s better to forgo all the hustle and bustle by staying in and having a nice, romantic evening at home. Here’s the recipe for a great Valentine’s Day: 1 Bottle of Wine – Go by One Stop and let Phil and his staff recommend you a good bottle 1 Romantic Meal – I prefer Italian, but this is Chef’s choice (allow time for a leisurely dessert as well) 1 Fireplace – if you don’t have a fireplace, at least get a warm and cozy blanket 1 DVD Player 1 of the Following Movies: Say Anything – It’s best known for the scene with John Cusack’s character holding up the boom box with the Peter Gabriel song playing (you know the old “this-song-sayseverything-I-wantto-say-but-better” thing), but Say Anything is essentially the quintessential 80’s romantic comedy. Quirky characters, cheesily produced tunes, and funny fashions belie a genuinely heartfelt love story between two characters on different life paths. The script is sharp and funny and Cusack is at his likeable best. BBC’s Pride & Prejudice – Jane Austen’s classic novel has been filmed numerous times, but never as skillfully as the 1995 BBC miniseries starring Jennifer Ehle and a before-he-wasfamous Colin Firth (who completely owns the role of Mr. Darcy). Lost in Translation – Sophia Coppola (yes, that’s Francis Ford’s daughter) directs this brilliant film about an aging actor (Bill Murray) who meets a newlywed (Scarlett Johansson) in the fast moving and culturally out there city of Tokyo. They find comfort and solace in each other and form a solid bond. One of the best things about this film is that, unlike most movies of its kind, you never know where it’s going to take you.
Page 24
Garden State – Scrub’s star Zach Braff writes and directs this film about a depressed actor who comes back to his New Jersey hometown for the funeral of his mother. He meets Natalie Portman’s character, who proceeds to teach him how to rise above the darkness in his life. A great soundtrack accompanies some very good performances.
Elizabethtown – This is the second Cameron Crowe film on my list (the first being Say Anything) and a film that, in my opinion at least, didn’t get a fair shake from critics. Much like Garden State, it’s about a guy (played by Orlando Bloom) who has used his job to isolated himself from his family and who is called back to his Kentucky hometown to attend the funeral of his father. While there, he meets a flight attend (played by the sometimes-good-sometimes-bad Kirsten Dunst), who helps him see through his corporate blindfold. Just looking at the synopses of Elizabethtown and Garden State, they may seem like the exact same movie, but trust me – tonally, they’re completely different and both well worth seeing.
(500) Days of Summer – Marc Webb, with his first feature length film, directs Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who knew the kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun would grow up to be one of the best actors in the business?!) in this tale of a guy who falls completely in love with a girl who doesn’t believe in love. Top notch work from all involved, especially the first time director who put together a scene for the ages with the mid-film Hall & Oates dance scene.
Valentine’s Day:
A February 14th tradition
The history of Valentine’s Day and its patron saint is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third Century in “Ancient Rome.” When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men for his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured. According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl who may have been his jailor’s daughter who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It’s no surprise that by the Middle Ages Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France. Every year on February 14 couples celebrate love and affection between intimate relationships. The day was named after “Saint Valentine” by Pope Gelasius I”in 496 AD. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, candy and sending a Valentine’s greeting card. The day first became associated with romance in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucerduring the “High Middle Ages” when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Modern Valentine’s Day symbols include the”Heart (symbol)” heartshaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged “Cupid.” Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced “Greeting cards.” Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Creating energy jobs in America My number one focus for the New Year remains on job creation. At the end of last year, I was pleased the Senate finally agreed to accept a House Republican proposal to move forward on the Keystone XL pipeline. The pipeline is an instant job generator and will create energy security in America. The pipeline, supported by both employers and unions, will create manufacturing and construction jobs, while increasing energy security across the country. TransCanada estimates that 20,000 well-paying jobs will be created in 2012 should this project move forward.

Redistricting is fair, legal and logical representation The decennial redistricting process for the state of Tennessee is finally complete. I have to admit I’m relieved. It was an arduous task that the Republican majority took very seriously. We passed a map with bipartisan support that was fair, legal and logical. It was a tremendous achievement the road to which was paved with long hours and hard choices. In September, I invited members of the public and legislators to submit their own plans for district lines. Information was posted on the General Assembly’s website detailing court, statutory and constitutional requirements. Simple, free, software necessary for citizen-drawn maps was available on the internet. We spread the word far and wide. For the first time, every Tennessean had the opportunity to be heard in redistricting. Because this was Tennessee’s firstever Republican-led redistricting effort, we knew that our every move would be scrutinized and criticized. We accepted the challenge and I’m proud of the result. We did what Democrat majorities of the past were never able to accomplish: we created a constitutional,
February 2012
logical, map. Under Democrat majorities, every redistricting plan landed in court and was thrown out as unconstitutional – in 1972, 1976, 1982 and 1992. Only in 2002 did the Democrats’ plan endure for a full decade and that was for one reason: Republicans didn’t challenge it in court despite the fact that the plan was unconstitutional on its face. How hard was it to comply with often-conflicting federal and state constitutional standards? Just look at the two alternative maps submitted by Senate Democrats in mid-January. One Democratic plan violated the federal Constitution’s proscription to uphold the principle of “one man, one vote.” In another, they completely ignored our state constitution’s dictum to hold down county splits. The Democrats’ half-hearted, lastditch attempts at map-drawing proved the difficulty of the task: balancing the sometimes contradictory federal and state constitutional requirements in a way that makes sense. The logic of our Senate map is irrefutable. The map has regional integrity as its focus. It is a principle we took seriously. Tennessee, more than most states,
Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey
has real and defined regions. We have three Grand Divisions and 95 counties - each with their own rich history and interests. Our cities, towns and communities are not just population centers to be manipulated in spreadsheets and computer mapping applications. Yes, the numbers were important. The principle of “one man, one vote” is sacrosanct in this nation. But the concept of keeping communities together is just as vital. At a macro level and a micro level our Senate plan respects the distinct regional voices of Tennessee. We kept all West Tennessee districts wholly inside the West Grand Division and only one East Tennessee district crosses the
time zone line. Within Grand Divisions, districts are grouped according to logical, local county clusters. Decade after decade, Tennessee has been carved up by Democrat majorities to serve the political interests of their party without regard to our state’s natural regional integrity. We took another path. We took this historic opportunity to produce representation in Nashville based on common sense. It is common sense to give communities of interest their proper voice but it also makes economic sense as well. Regions that share representation can better plan their future and manage their common economic interests. For example, Southeast Tennessee – a part of our state that worked closely together in recent years to win a Volkswagen factory coveted by the entire country – now has three full State Senate seats wholly within that region. The fast-growing counties around Nashville, which have become important economic drivers for the entire state, each now anchor separate Senate districts. Restoring our state’s regional integrity creates a monumental opportunity for economic development. No longer
do strained and haphazard political boundaries stand in the way of economic unity. Not every elected official in the Capitol is happy about our map – there were members of both parties disappointed in the district lines drawn. But as I pointed out to every Senator, districts don’t belong to Senators; they belong to voters. While I’m glad redistricting is finally over, I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. I have learned a tremendous amount about the specific needs of each Tennessee community – from tiny hamlet to major urban center - in this process. I have also reaffirmed my belief that it matters who governs. The current Tennessee legislative leadership, through diligent study and long hours, has moved this state out of the dark ages and into a new decade where political boundaries finally make sense. This was truly a great victory for the citizens of Tennessee and I was humbled to be a part of it. Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey 1 Legislative Plaza 301 6th Avenue N Nashville, TN 37243 615.741.4524

Winter not so bleak at ETSU Mary B. Martin School of the Arts
Month brims with visual arts, dance, film, theater In the bleak mid-winter, Mary B. Martin School of the Arts is offering some lively respite from colorless February days. “Our visual arts, music, dance, film, theater, diversity and literature should keep everyone energized this February -- no matter how cold or grim the weather,” says Mary B. Martin School of the Arts Director Anita DeAngelis. MBM SOTA began a sizzling month with Flamenco Vivo/Carlota Santana, one of the nation’s premier flamenco and Spanish dance companies on Feb. 1 and 2 and simultaeously kicked off the “Society of Illustrators Annual Exhibit: Illustrators 53,” featuring 40 works, a representative sample of the best, award-winning commercial art from the past year. The exhibit can be viewed through Feb. 17 in ETSU’s Slocumb Galleries in Ball Hall. On Thursday, Feb. 16, artist Charles Vess, whose illustrations have been exhibited at the SOI in New York, will present a lecture at 5:30 p.m. in the Ball Hall auditorium with a gallery talk and reception to follow. The exhibit, lecture, gallery talk and reception are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. with extended hours during receptions. The second week of February includes prize-winning novelist, poet and short story writer Ron Rash, who will read from his work and, afterward, answer questions and participate in discussion in ETSU’s the Ball Hall auditorium, Room 127, starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7. The event and subsequent reception with the author, sponsored by Mary B. Martin School of the Arts, is free and open to the public.

the Miami String Quartet, all music faculty at Kent State University, will perform with ETSU music faculty member Chih-Long Hu at 7:30 p.m. in Culp Auditorium. The quartet, lauded by the New York Times as “everything one wants in a quartet,” is known not only for its classical repertoire, but also its strong interest in music education and encouraging new music, which has led to many commissions, premieres, festivals and scholarships.

Martin School of the Arts will present NY Export: Opus Jazz with Executive Producer Ellen Bar as part of the South Arts Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers in Culp Auditorium.

A reception with the filmmaker will follow the Q&A. Shot on location in New York City, “NY Export: Opus Jazz” takes Jerome Robbins’ 1958 “ballet in sneakers” and re-imagines it for a new generation, starring an ensemble cast of New York City Ballet dancers, and photographed on 35mm. Southern Circuit is the nation’s only regional tour of independent filmmakers, providing communities with an interactive and communal way of experiencing independent film. To conclude its February events and in honor of Black History Month, the Mary B. Martin School of the Arts will welcome jeff obafemi carr to the V.A.

Living her dream Business owner returns to college to become a teacher
L
ucinda “Cindy” Bellamy needed a change from her work each day at the small business franchise she owned in Kingsport, Tenn.
This fall, Bellamy began her full-time teaching career as a third grade teacher at John Adams Elementary School in Kingsport.
“I didn’t have that passion for my work,” said Bellamy. “What I really wanted to do was teach.”
“I am in my dream job,” Bellamy said. “And it’s because of the support and education I received at Milligan.”
So instead of wasting time dreaming of a teaching career, Bellamy decided to make a change. She started by opening an in-home daycare to confirm that working with children was her calling. The next step was to pursue the education she needed to make her dream happen.
Like most working adult students, Bellamy had many things to consider before returning to college. When she began her studies at Milligan, she was almost 40 years old and the mother of four children, now ages 13, 10, 6 and 3. Her life was established and busy, and she also was transitioning from a familiar business background to a completely different field.
Bellamy enrolled in the child and youth development adult degree completion program at Milligan College, where she not only completed her bachelor’s degree, but also went on to earn a Master of Education degree in June 2011. She is now certified to teach Pre-K through sixth grade.
Bellamy appreciated the convenience of Milligan’s class schedule, as well as the professors who shared their passion for education with her. Since Milligan also offers a Master of Education program, Bellamy was able to seamlessly enter the graduate program.
A PREMIER CHRISTIAN LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE Milligan offers traditional undergraduate programs in over 30 majors plus graduate and professional studies. To learn more, visit www.milligan.edu.
“So many people at Milligan gave me a helping hand and encouraged me, and that has instilled in me this same spirit of encouragement and support for my students,” she said. “My job in the classroom brings everything Milligan taught me to the forefront, and I am grateful for my experience there.” Milligan’s child and youth development degree completion program allows students to complete the major in 18 to 23 months. Classes meet one night per week at Milligan and at other convenient off-site locations. The Master of Education program at Milligan offers both the initial licensure and advanced program options. The initial licensure allows students to complete their master’s degree and teaching licensure in as few as 14 months, while the advanced program is for already-licensed teachers who want to add endorsement areas or prepare for board certification. The advanced program can be completed online or in a traditional classroom setting.
To learn more about Milligan’s education programs, visit www.milligan.edu/gps or call 423.461.8796.
