Fall Is In The Air At Corner Nest Antique Mall

Elizabethton, TN. --- As another summer sets in the sunset a bevy of activity has begun at the Corner Nest Antique Mall as store owner Robin Blackwell and over ninety vendors kick off the fall season.

Truck loads carrying tons of seasonal mer-chandise has replaced spring and summer items as we enter the fall holiday season with Hallow-een, Thanksgiving and Christmas [not that we are in a rush] right around the corner. There is a feeling of expectation and excitement in the air at The Corner Nest Antique Mall.

Our monthly trip to one of our favorite stores had us talking to several of Robin’s dealers in an effort to learn more concerning what they have to offer:

Gail SchmidtGail Schmidt is a mixed media artist which ba-

sically means she is not tied to just one medium. “With my art, I can use anything,” she revealed. “I work with a lot of paper, ink, paint and digital ap-

plications. I have a love of old things and seek out items at flea markets, estate sales and thrift stores that may need a little love. I especially have a love for old furniture that I paint and refurbish. I [pre-viously] had a store in Florida and my husband Leon had a workshop. We had a great time mix-ing new with old and I enjoy taking something in bad shape that some people would generally pass by and make it meaningful again.”

Gail says she love to “treasure hunt.” And ad-mits, “Hey, I’m a woman so I love to shop,” she laughs. “I create things in my studio from the things I find in antique stores, flea markets, etc. then I bring them to The Corner Nest and offer my new creations to customers who really seem to enjoy what I do.”

Gail is the owner of Shabby Cottage Studio and she offers online art classes and vintage inspired art. Her work can be found on the second floor at The Corner Nest Antique Mall.

Jody Fields Around the corner from Gail Schmidt’s booth

we also discovered 52 year-old Joy Fields who recently got interested in crafts especially in the art of painting and refinishing furniture. The Roan Mountain resident said, “I always drew and painted. I guess you call what I do now as ‘recycling’ or ‘re-purposing.’ I find my items at yard sales and thrift stores and turn them back into useful items. I have a snowman that I made out of old bed sheets and I take old wood and

after painting it turn it into nice wall hangings. Jody has a beau-tiful painting on an old window that depicts a “Happy Harvest.” There is also a delightful-looking witch’s stocking also make out of an old bed sheet and then brightly decorated. “I don’t expect your stuff to last too long for sale,” I remarked. “Well, I do put a lot of

time into my work and I try present things that I think people would enjoy in their homes. I love turning old previously unusable items and bring them back to life so-to-speak. I invite everyone to come down to The Corner Nest Antique Mall and visit my booth upstairs.”

Jill LaneAs we continued to remain

upstairs looking around [with 30,000 square feet on two floors please give your-self plenty of time to browse] we discovered “Jilly Bugs,” owned by decorator Jill Lane. With over 20 years of experience, Jill offers, “unique decorating for your home, office or cabin.” She offers furni-ture and complete condo and cabin packages. If you need some professional help decorating your home, Jill’s your gal!

Donna GarlandOur Sunday afternoon trip wouldn’t be com-

plete without a stop at Donna Garland’s Butter Cup Café located on the ground floor as you enter The Corner Nest Antique Mall. Only on Sunday can you enjoy Donna’s down-home country cook-ing fit for a King. . . .or Queen for that matter! Delicious and hardy portions of food items such as steak and gravy with mashed potatoes and cold slaw or baked chicken with a variety of vegetables and deserts was on the menu during our visit. She has too many items to mention but we guarantee you won’t leave hungry. Her meals are outstand-ing!

So, if you’re looking for a bargain [or a good meal] take the time to get Out ‘N About at The Corner Nest Antique Mall located a short distance from downtown Elizabethton. It’s well worth the trip!

What do you mean Tennessee has an income tax? Yes, Tennessee has an income tax. The tax is com-monly called the Hall income tax. The tax is not on wages or any form of “earned income”. The tax is 6% of the taxable income over $1250 for a single individual and $2500 for mar-ried filing jointly. The tax does not apply to earnings inside of an IRA or other type of pension plan. There are certain exemptions for age and lower income individuals that apply. Be sure and check on the applicability to your individual situation.

The tax is imposed upon certain interest and dividends. The list of what is taxable and what is not taxable is lengthy. The basic break down of types of taxable and non taxable in-come is outlined in the instructions for the state income tax return.

Generally dividends are taxable. The most notable exception is divi-dends paid on bank stock which are not taxable. The catch here is that div-idends from bank holding companies are taxable. Most bank dividends now are from holding companies. For state tax purposes most cash distributions

are considered dividends. Taxable distributions include capital gains distributions from mutual funds and cash distributions to S corporation shareholders.

Interest is generally taxable other than interest from your bank, the U.S. Treasury or the state of Tennes-see and it’s municipalities.. The most common type of interest income that is overlooked is interest from install-ment sales and financing arrange-ments between individuals. Interest on bonds from other states and their municipalities are generally taxable in Tennessee. I have often heard bonds advertised as being double tax exempt. I once was in Hawaii listen-ing to an advertisement. The spokes-man said the bonds were double tax exempt in every state but Tennessee.

The IRS shares information from your form 1040 with the state. The state is behind in matching that in-formation. The Statute of limitations which is three years does not start to run until you file your return. If you don’t file, the statute never starts to run. The state is usually years behind in sending you a letter to demand

their tax. By the time you get your notice you may have substantial pen-alties and interest to pay. Sometimes the penalty and interest on prior years is almost as much as the tax. If you have a good reason for failure to file, the Tennessee Department of Revenue will consider a request for a Waiver of penalty. Good luck!

If you think you may owe the tax and have not filed, I recommend you contact your personal tax advisor and file at once. If you do not the Tennes-see Department of Revenue will dis-cover the omission and assess the tax. They may be slow but they are thor-ough. It appears to be easier to get the penalty abated if you have filed before they contact you.

If you receive a letter and you think it may be incorrect, do not pay the tax until you have contacted the Tennessee Department of Revenue or your personal tax adviser to be sure. Many times the letters are incorrect. Often times you just need to clarify that nature of the interest or dividend income.

Homecoming 2011(Saturday, Oct. 29)

Men’s Soccer vs.USC Upstate, 1p

Men’s Basketball vs. Tusculum, 4p

While I’ve been interacting with constituents and preparing for the upcoming legislative session, I have been appalled at the recent news reports out of Nashville and Memphis.

Gibson Guitars, the iconic manufacturer of the axes wielded by a wide variety of artists from Chet Atkins to B.B. King to Angus Young, has been raided for the second time in the past few years by armed agents of the federal government. Gibson’s crime? Importing a certain type of wood for use in their guitars that may be illegal in a foreign country.

That’s right. Our government executed criminal warrants based on one interpretation of another country’s laws. This would be funny if it wasn’t so downright scary.

A federal raid is a not a small thing. It is a serious undertaking that has consequences for the business against whom it is conducted. Computers get forensically imaged, boxes of files are carted out. Employees are detained and questioned. Business can not be effec-tively conducted for days if not weeks afterward.

This kind of action can result in lost profits, lost jobs and the bankruptcy of a com-pany. The economic consequences can be dire. Raids such as these should not be taken lightly.

Yet what was the stated need for overwhelming force in this case?Basically, the federal government is suggesting that Gibson Guitar has violated the

Lacey Act. It charges that Gibson imported wood from India that was illegal because it was “unfinished.” The wood is allegedly illegal not because of any law passed by Congress or any state legislature but because of an interpretation of Indian law.

Is this reason enough to hold hostage an employer of over 1200 people?Even if one concedes the questionable merit of the Lacey Act, which requires American companies be bound by

the law of foreign nations, the repeated targeting of one company in this fashion is abhorrent.Our Constitution was written to ensure that the federal government’s power was not only limited but decen-

tralized. The Founding Fathers wanted a government where no branch or agency of government could have too much power.

Looking at the Gibson case, the US Department of Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service has surely violated that

founding tenet. As I mentioned, this is the second time the company has been raided by armed agents of Fish and Wildlife. No charges were ever filed in connection with the first raid in 2009 but the companies property has still not been returned.

Gibson, it should be noted, has provided evidence that the wood imported in both cases was completely authorized as legal by the countries exporting the wood.

What has been most concerning to me is the implicit assertion by the government that if this “unfinished” wood had been finished in India by Indian workers instead of at Gibson by American workers the company would have no legal problem.

It is almost as if the federal government is encouraging Gibson to do what many other companies have done for various reasons: Ship American jobs overseas. Gibson is one of the few major US companies that still produces a tangible product within America’s borders and the federal government targets them because they MAY have run afoul of a foreign law.

I fail to see the need for armed federal agents in a place of business like Gibson. This is not a criminal cartel, it a musical instrument manufacturer. The company does not thumb its nose at the law, in fact, the company and it’s CEO have clearly made their best efforts to stay within the law.

In fact, the only beef the Obama administration could really have with Gibson Guitars is the political habits of its CEO. Apparently, the head of Gibson has been very generous in his donations to Re-publican candidates and causes such as Congressman Marsha Blackburn and Sen. Lamar Alexander. One of Gibson’s chief competitors on the other hand prefers Democrat candidates. I hope this is simple coincidence and not something more sinister.

If Gibson Guitars has broken the law, they must pay required penalties. But the resources which have been brought to bear and the manner in which this company has been targeted amounts to a classic case of overreach and overkill.

In an ever increasing competitive global economy, the federal government should be looking for ways to assist and nurture American businesses - not seek to criminalize companies who provide high-paying jobs to American workers.


Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey

Federal Raid at Gibson Guitar Plant Downright Scary

Last month’s job report showed no new jobs were created, underscoring the reality that businesses are hesitant to hire. This gloomy economic outlook is even worse for the veterans. To date, there are nearly 1 million unemployed veterans in the United States.

According to a recent National Federation of Independent Business survey, only seven percent of small business owners expect economic conditions to be better six months from now. Forty-one percent expect them to be worse, and fifty-two percent expect them to be unchanged. Congress must pass legisla-tion that creates a better environment for job creation, especially among our veterans.

The men and women who choose to defend this country through military service are making a tre-mendous sacrifice. In return, we must protect and care for our veterans when they come home.

As a veteran and a member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I feel a solemn responsibility to serve those who have served this country in uniform. Along with my colleagues on the committee, I have a goal of reducing veteran unemployment to less than five percent over the next two years. On September 13, the committee hosted a Veterans Job Summit, which brought together dozens of companies and organiza-tions who shared with us best practices of hiring a veteran in the private sector.

The insights shared at this summit helped the committee craft a series of bills known as the Veterans

Opportunity to Work (VOW) Act. This bipar-tisan legislation provides tax incentives to businesses that hire veterans. It also creates training and transi-tion programs for soldiers once they return home, all without increasing spending or add-ing to the deficit. The VOW Act consists of seven simple bills, and it is the most comprehen-sive piece of legislation that addresses veteran unemploy-ment.

The VOW Act has four main focuses: improving the Transition Assistance Program (TAP); expand-ing education and training; simplify-ing licensing and certification; and protecting our National Guard and Reserve. If it is mandatory for service members transitioning into civilian status to participate in TAP programs, we can ensure they have the tools they need to make a successful transition into the workforce. VOW will break down the barriers that prevent transitioning service members from finding work, and will improve the quality of life for those who so selflessly serve our country.

The VOW Act not only paves the way for new veter-

ans, but it also accommodates the retrain-ing of 100,000 veterans of past conflicts

for careers in high-demand fields. The legislation sets performance

metrics for federally-funded state employees whose job is to find employment for vet-erans. Additionally, VOW requires these employees be tested prior to beginning their jobs of veteran place-ment. It requires reporting of outcomes for students us-

ing the Post-9/11 GI bill so the Department of Veterans’ Affairs

can ensure the oversight and suc-cess of the programs implemented

through this plan. The bill also reauthorizes several important grants that provide job training for homeless veterans within the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegra-

tion Program (HVRP). Another important piece of legislation includ-

ed in the VOW Act is H.R. 2433, the Tax Credit to Hire Veterans Act of 2011. This bill would provide a $25,000 tax incentive to any small business that hires an unemployed veteran. The Tax Credit to Hire Veterans Act also includes provisions that pro-

tect veterans from employers that may be manipu-lating the system to receive these tax breaks.

Last Monday, I was extremely disappointed to see the president suggest cutbacks in some veterans’ health benefits as one way to tackle our deficit. The president’s deficit reduction plan would increase pharmacy co-payments for military beneficiaries and establish a $200 annual fee in the military’s Tricare for Life health benefits for Medicare-eligible retirees. This would mark the first time in history that an annual fee would be charged to Tricare for Life recipients. While we can all agree that it is time to make difficult budget decisions, it would be a disgrace to make those decisions on the backs of those that devoted and risked their lives in service to our country.

Rest assured, I will continue to fight for legislation to improve the way we care for our veterans. I will stand firm against increasing health care costs and cutting benefits. I will remember the vow I took to care for our veterans and remember the sacrifice they made for all of us.

Caught“Out ‘N About”


Josh Smith is a happy, and humble man.

Long a familiar and popular face to Tri-Cities television viewers, he is now the evening news anchor for 11 Con-nects WJHL-TV in Johnson City and “loving every minute of it.”

The Bristol native said it has been a considerable transition for him to fill the chair where his old broadcast heroes once sat, and that he watched with awe from afar, as a child, first in Mountain City and then growing up in Elizabeth-ton, the town he still calls home.

The son of Sue and Richard Smith would never suggest it, but the journey of his life and career is a quintessential American success story, bringing him to a pinnacle he could have scarcely imagined nearly 20 years ago when he first walked into a studio to run a tele-prompter part-time.

“I think I know who I am, and I think I am finally at peace with that. I think we all have an idea of that, in the begin-ning, and then we go to war with the idea. And, later, we come back around to accepting it,” Smith said.

“I sure am proud of where I’m from and the life I’ve been given. Some-times younger people tell me, ‘Aw, it’s a shame you didn’t get the chance to move away and experience stuff.’ I wish they could know how wonderful it is to be from here, and still be here, with my family, and to not have to have left the mountains to make a living.”

The newsman shares a strong bond with his twin brother Joe, now the direc-tor of media relations for their alma mater, East Tennessee State University.

“I don’t think we realized we were twins in the earliest years of our lives. We look so different, and we acted dif-ferently. But we have always been very close.

“We were in the first grade at Laurel Bloomery School in Johnson County. They decided they were going to split us up – you know, there were a lot of ideas about children and development.

“Well, that created some significant anxiety for us both. I remember they would let us walk down the hall a

couple of times a day to go to the other classroom, and see the other one was still there.”

“Joe was always the one that was re-ally smart. He learned and remembered things. I made good grades, but forgot everything immediately thereafter. Our parents always encouraged us to be whoever we were, what we were sup-posed to be.”

“I’m not a planner now. I used to have big long-range plans,” Smith said, acknowledging that the happy arrival of children – 7-year-old Elijah and 4-year-old Hudson – changed that reality for him and his wife, Kristen.

“I’m really satisfied to think no fur-ther than the end of day and be happy with it.”

On the job, Smith says he’s “learning something new every day, and that’s the way it’s supposed to be.” One of the first lessons was that things don’t neces-sarily go as planned: the first night of his new gig, Smith got bumped.

“We were sitting there, waiting for

the tennis tournament to conclude, and I was watching stories die as our time kept getting cut. It went on and on, and it became funny to us. Actually, it was also a very good lesson in perspective.”

The second night was a bit different.“Just before we went on the air, I

remember thinking how we used to visit my grandparents in Mountain City. They planned their day around the livestock that needed to be fed. There was always lunch on the table for the workers.

“And then, in the evening, at five minutes before six o’clock, they would gather to eat their dinner and to watch the evening news. It was very important to my family.

“Out of the dark recesses of my mem-ory sprang forward the realization that here was something we as a family used to be consumers of and now I’m help-ing to provide. Actually being in it, and helping to deliver it. It was a strange feeling at first. I was truly humbled and a bit emotional.”

And then came the unforgettable sound that went with magic moment: “Standby...”

“I never expected to get this chance,” Smith said. “Times have changed. I re-member there were only two stations for local news, and only two people deliver-ing it. Now look at how many sources of information there are for people dur-ing their day.

“People are overwhelmed with sourc-es for information, an fewer people to go to the ‘big tank’ – now there are a thousand tiny puddles. I’m aware that I’m one of the puddles

“We have a big challenge, to be relevant, to be meaningful. I think that’s really what’s going to distinguish us

Smith says he is proud of the good instruction and inspiration he has drawn from others sharing in his craft – a great part of his drive for excellence.

“I’m sure I’m driving some of my co-workers crazy, but I am determined that we be careful, be very respectful with what is almost a sacred trust. To think that people would gather around in their own homes, and listen to someone talk.

But it’s more than that.“It is a tremendous responsibility. I

used to be afraid of messing up. Now I’m afraid of misleading, that we might damage the trust that people give us. That we might make an error for which we cannot be forgiven.”

Smith says he has been the recipient of a lot of good instruction, and some great inspiration from the people he has worked with down through the years, which has helped him see the big pic-ture more clearly.

“There is a lot of good that’s going on that we need to tell each other about. We should celebrate it, and I’m glad to be a part of helping make that happen.

“It used to be that the local news spoke and people listened. We are no longer the oracle of the community. This is a generation that can be their own broadcaster, blog writer, or com-mentator.

“Power has been dispersed where once it was highly centralized. That is good in a lot of ways, but it can also lead to serious problems, including the obvious lack of accuracy and account-ability.”

Smith says his job is made easier by the resurgence of CBS News, once an undisputed industry powerhouse.

“I’m thrilled about the choice of Scott Pelley as national anchor. He really is just the best at CBS. I’ve always had the impession that he was more interested in doing excellent journalism than being a star.

“At first, probably because he had not been someone searching for the lime-light, people were uncertain about him. But watching him, I quickly came to re-alize that is excellent news work. They have not hired someone as just another news reader, or for star quality. This is someone who can get the job done.”

“People are talking about the qual-ity of the broadcast, and they are really impressed with him. I think he’s going to be really successful, and that this is a new day for CBS News.”

You save or I pay. No kidding.You know what they say, “There’s

no business like slow business.” Well, maybe that’s not what they say, but they would if they were in the heating and cooling business!

During this mild fall, we’ve done too much sitting! So has your FURNACE or heat pump… since last Summer Even though we’ll both be in “high gear” soon, we can turn this down time into good fortune for both of us. Am I clear as mud so far? Well, let me ex-plain…

You probably already know the importance of keeping your heating and cooling system tuned. Just like on your car, it saves you energy dollars and keeps things run-ning smoothly. It can also help you avoid big repair bills. It’s just smart.

Unfortunately, many people go season after season, thinking, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” This can be costing you a small fortune. And not just in energy and repairs…

A system failure may be headed your way! Research shows that lack of maintenance is the #1 cause of a system failure. Have you budgeted the $3,000-$7,000 for a new system? I promise, “saving money” by not getting a tune-up can be very costly!

Save your system, your money and repair hassles with a Comfort Club Membership. Our Comfort Club Mem-bership gives you two 21-point seasonal tune-ups for smooth, efficient run-ning, plus a full system safety check to keep you healthy and safe. All for just $199.00. Lots of Tri-Cities area home-owners are already on this smart plan.

But don’t write that check yet! Dur-

ing this mild weather, you can get an even better value: The full Comfort Club Membership and all its money-saving benefits can be yours for just $149.00! That’s nearly 25% off the regular price. And it’s not just a good “tune-up deal” either…

You get the two tune-ups, plus Priority Service, 10% parts and labor discounts, free service reminders, and peace-of-mind just to start. All just

$149. Plus one more thing…Your Bottom-Line

Guarantee: If you don’t save enough energy to cover the entire cost of a year’s comfort Club

Membership in the first 120 days, I’ll refund

you the differ-ence! It’s like getting your Comfort Club M e m b e r s h i p free. Is there a

catch? Yes.You must act

soon. I figure we can serve another 100 Comfort Club Members by October 20th (when we get real busy). Schedule yours soon and you’ll get everything I’ve offered in this letter. After that, this offer ends.

Call today at 239-3147, 282-4983, 764-0126 so you can start saving money with a Leinbach Services Inc Comfort Club Membership. I told you it was easy. And it’s basically free. But it’ll soon be over. Call now.

The Easiest Way To Save Money I’ve Ever Seen…

Is About To EndBy Doug Thompson “How would you like to go to Kentucky?” Phil spoke

these innocent sounding words and then said, “We’ll get you a passport.”

Now, I was thinking I must have missed a major event overnight but then he cleared it up, the passport was for the Bourbon Trail, not entry to the state of Ken-tucky. Phil had learned about the trail when the One Stop staff went to buy a couple of barrels of bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery last year. Knowing that I’m a history buff, [could photograph places like these for hours at a time and love the scientific aspect of distil-lation] he thought I would enjoy meeting some of the people at places that make some of the wonderful bour-bons we offer at One Stop. I asked my father if he would like to ride along on the trip, he said he’d check his schedule. I told him they give samples, he said he’d love to go. The basic layout of the trail is that you travel to the six participating distilleries between Lexington and Louisville and get your passport stamped at each. Okay, there are a couple of things to remember when you are on the Bourbon Trail. First, do not trust a GPS unit to guide you to the distilleries, they lie! Second, if someone at a distillery offers you a sample, try it.

Before starting the trail I wanted to revisit Buffalo Trace and see what their normal tours offer. Freddy, a third generation employee, was guiding the hardhat tour. While we were in the fermentation area, every-one tried fresh mash as it poured into a 93,000 gallon fermentation tank. It looks sort of like watery cornmeal and has a sweet corn taste. Now, this is where those two things I told you to remember started to stick in my head, there is just enough time, guided by that wonderful GPS unit, to get to Woodford Reserve, so we turn down the samples offered and leave Buffalo Trace.

The folks at Woodford Reserve, accustomed to people arriving behind schedule thanks to navigational errors, offer advice about turning off the GPS and then provided a map to Four Roses as they stamped our passports. As we walked through the misty rain toward the distillery door our guide Nancy explained that they only make one thing here, Woodford Reserve bourbon, and they do it well, proven out by a sample at the end of the tour. They have three great copper stills that are a sight to behold. With its well kept grounds and stone buildings this is the oldest distillery property visited. They told us to follow the directions and we wouldn’t have any trouble getting to Four Roses. They were correct.

Four Roses is a Spanish Mission style set of buildings built around 1910. Many people are not familiar with the brand, because for many years of the bourbon pro-duced here was sold in the United States. These are in-credible bourbons with taste profiles specifically tweaked by the use of different strains of yeast. Dan provided the map to Wild Turkey.

Having arrived early at Wild Turkey, I had the chance to talk with Master Distiller Jimmy Russell about the incredible sense of family that runs through the bourbon industry. Wild Turkey has moved into a new distillery building and it’s more industrial and computerized than before, but to be honest, when you are standing in a fermenting room at any of these distilleries, if you close your eyes and inhale that unique fermenting mash aroma, you would never know whether it was churning in a stainless steel or ancient cypress tank. Since I had been speaking with the man himself, I chose to sample Russell’s Reserve and Russell’s Reserve Rye. Jimmy offered shortcut di-rections to Jim Beam, I explained that following the shortest route had recently caused issues and ask the young lady stamping the passports for a map, they laughed.

Entering the Jim Beam facility we drove past the distillery and huge warehouses to the visitors cen-ter. There we saw a statue of former master distiller, Booker Noe, with his dog Dot. The statue sits in front of the old T. Jeremiah Beam home and overlooks the distillery. They offered samples of two products, Knob Creek and Basil Hayden. Stamped passports in hand we left for Makers Mark.

We were right on time for the Makers Mark Tour. This was a great place for photographs. It was also a fantastic place to sample Makers Mark Bourbon and Makers Mark 46. We didn’t need a map for the last stop, we had passed it on the way.

Heaven Hill has an amazing bourbon heritage center complete with a barrel shaped tasting room. We visited a rickhouse with about 20,000 barrels but they now distill at their facility in Louisville. Elijah Craig 18 year old single barrel was the final sample of the trail. I thought it to be the perfect choice, you see, Elijah Craig is widely credited with inventing bourbon in the late 1700’s……and his namesake bourbon ended my trip on the Bour-bon Trail.

Phil, I understand they make a fine spirit in Scot-land. . . my passport’s ready any time!

Johnson City, Tn. — At Dock 1 Mattress Gallery, business owners Matt and Brad Smith not only think you’ll love their mattresses they guarantee it!

“Our mattresses are manufactured right here in Johnson City,” Matt explained. “We completely customize our mat-tresses to the satisfaction of each individual customer using a simple “swap-top” component design. So, for example, a wife may want to have her memory form mattress softer on her side of the bed than her husband’s. And, if they get home and sleep on it and discover the mattress is [maybe a bit] too soft or too firm they can simply swap the memory foam top-per within 90 days and we’ll change it to your liking. Nobody else has the capability of doing that. You’re not stuck with what you buy because we offer everyone who purchases a Coverest mattress a Comfort Guarantee.”

The brothers developed and own the Coverest brand of mattresses featured not only in their Johnson City store but on their web site overnightmatress.com. “It’s one of the top memory foam websites on the internet,” Matt said. “And, since our customers are buying their mattresses straight from the manufacturer we are able to offer affordable prices and steep discounts. We also offer 12 month financing on all models.”

Coverest is an award winning innovative and environmentally-correct memory foam mattress and Matt added, “We are very pleased to be featured alongside other products that demonstrate such high standards of environmentally con-scious design, quality and innovation.”

Matt stressed Coverest represents luxury specialty bedding focused on improving customer’s health and quality of life through customizable, functional, component mattress designs.

“Coverest mattresses are unique in the industry, with their com-bined use of removable, washable covers, high-performance foams, smart fabrics and proprietary packaging technology,” He said. “In addition, all Coverest mattresses include a comfort layer built from TruCell, a high performance memory foam which is engineered to withstand body impressions and the long-term effects of heat and moisture. Coverest mattresses are also fire retardant and come standard with Kevlar thread for added safety and durability.”

These advances provide customers with personalized comfort, a cleaner sleep environment and a more durable product that can be quickly, safely and reliably delivered on a global scale.

Bristol, TN. --- Take four very talented musicians and singers then mix in classic rock, country and a variety of Top 40 familiar hits and you’d be listening to Sundance. The band, based in Meadowview and Glade Springs, Virginia was rocking the Country Club Bar & Grill last month and when they left patrons were asking for more.

“They really rocked tonight,” Gloria Stevens from Kingsport said. “The Country Club always brings in fine entertainment. It’s the place I like to come to weekend after week-end.”

Don Phillips, lead singer and harmonica player said the popular band had been together for about 10 years. “We’ve been fortunate to open up for The Kentucky Headhunt-ers, Earl Thomas Conley, Artimus Pyle [former drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd], Bucky Covington, Eric Church, Marty Stewart and the late great Mel McDaniel just to name a few,” he said. “We do about 60-70 dates a year and in the past have done over 120.”

“We think 60-70 is enough,” band mate Bobby Sailor who plays drums added. “We love to perform but with families and other obli-gations even with that schedule it doesn’t leave us with a tremendous amount of free time. But, I can tell you one thing the Country Club is at the top of our list to come back to. We played here in the past when it was the Rocking Horse before Michelle [Smith Gibson] and Andy [Bland] took it over. It is simply a lot better, the atmosphere is great and they have worked hard to bring the club back up to par. . .it’s first class and we look forward to return-ing. There are very few venues like Country Club Bar & Grill. We ap-preciate the opportunity and it is a delight to see many of our friends and fans here tonight.”

Along with Don and Bobby, rounding out the members of the band are Mike Allison guitar and

vocals and Phil Thackeray, bass and vocals.

“We like what we do and I’d say we cover over 150 songs,” Phil said mat-ter-of-factly. “By knowing so many tunes we know we’ll play a variety that everyone enjoys hearing. We get together a couple of time a week. It’s not practice; playing is practicing,” he said with a chuckle.

Historically, Don knew a lot about the Country Club Bar & Grill. “Hey this place is legendary and historic. Bet you didn’t know that George Jones, Travis Tritt, Alabama, Mel Tillis and Garth Brooks played on the same

stage as we will tonight. We glad we get the chance to play here because there aren’t many places booking lo-cal bands anymore. Not many place left. It’s nice to be just down the road and get this opportunity.”

Sundance’s performance was a magical blend of everything they promised: County, Classic Rock and Top 40 tunes we all knew. The dance floor stayed packed and the person-able band member spent their break time talking to the crowd that came out to see them.

“For only a $5 cover charge you couldn’t hear a band like this any-

where else in the country for $50,” Robert Wilson from Elizabethton said. “I had heard they were good and this is my first time seeing them so I hope they come back. It’s a

great place to come with friends and enjoy some great music like Sun-dance brought us tonight.”

BARTER THEATRE®

(Abingdon, Va.) It may be getting cooler outside, but this fall, things are heating up at Barter Theatre with “Cabaret,” you know, the Broadway musical made famous by Liza Minnelli, and a brand new and bloody good comedy, “Dracula Bites.” “Steamy, sexy and powerful do not even begin to describe Kander and Ebb’s iconic musical, ‘Cabaret,’” said Richard Rose, producing artistic director and director of the show. “‘Cabaret’ is not only one of the most entertaining musicals, but it also has some of the best music ever written for musical theatre,” said Rose. “Barter’s approach to songs like “Willkommen,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” “Mein Herr” and, of course, “Cabaret” is not just a presentation. They bring the audience into the song and dance.” Rose promises, “If you’ve seen the movie or other productions of ‘Cabaret,’ you still haven’t seen it like this. Barter Theatre always does it differently, and the audience reaction to the show confirms that.” The story focuses on the nightlife at The Kit Kat Klub and revolves around the English cabaret performer, Sally Bowles (Hannah Ingram, “The 39 Steps”/”Evita”) and her relationships with a young American author, Cliff (Nathan Whitmer, Gaston in “Beauty and the Beast). Sally loves working at the Cabaret and Cliff has just arrived in Germany to write a book. Rose sums it up with, “‘Cabaret’ cuts to the heart of relationships. The relationship between Cliff and Sally as they are searching…searching for themselves, for each other, and, as Sally puts it, searching for “life as a Cabaret.” Life can’t be only work, there must be some enjoyment, fulfillment – whatever that might be. Very different from “Cabaret” is the world-premiere, “Dracula Bites.” Penned by the comedic writing duo, Duke Ernsberger and V. Cate, this is not your typical Dracula, it’s a kooky spin on the bloodsucking count. “’Dracula Bites’ is both a trick and a treat for audiences,” said Rose. “With outrageously witty dialogue – notorious in Ernsberger and Cate’s work – and extreme situational comedy, I dare anyone to watch it without laughing.” Bram Stoker will be rolling in his grave when he finds

out what the kooky New York playwright, Gregory Pastel, has done to his classic work, and audiences will be rolling in the aisles. When the struggling Valley Dale Playhouse is in need of a miracle, they turn to actor turned director turned playwright, the flamboyant Pastel, to save the day. “’Dracula Bites,” or should we say “’Dra-koola’ Bites” is Pastel’s “serious” (well, seriously funny) adaptation of Stoker’s book and no detail is overlooked. Pastel’s list of demands are getting bigger and crazier and the artistic director of the Valleydale Playhouse, Nattie Sills (Mary Lucy Bivins – Molly in “The Full Monty” and Margo in “Lying in State”) is beginning to have second thoughts about her decision when things like three naked brides, a real horse drawn carriage, a live cat that Renfield eats onstage and many other crazy things show up on the list. “The comic genius of ‘Dracula Bites’ is the passion of the pursuit of the characters of this play as they all pursue the dream to create the perfect production of Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula.’ Why wouldn’t this play work out? But it is the very drive of their passions and the desperate attempts to fulfill their own needs and dreams that prevent then from succeeding, at least not succeeding in the way they had in mind. Now that makes for a really great comedy!” said director Rose. Enter for a chance to win two free tickets for “Dracula Bites” when you donate blood at Barter Stage II on October 19 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The blood drive is in partnership with Johnston Memorial Hospital. Discount tickets are available with the purchase of a “Cabaret Cabernet” package – in partnership with Heartwood – for groups of six or more. Get a sneak peak of “Dracula Bites” and other Barter Theatre fall repertory productions by visiting Youtube.com/BarterTheatre. “Cabaret” is playing through November 10 at Barter Theatre and will perform two shows at the Toy F. Reid Center in Kingsport with the Symphony of the Mountains on November 11 and 12. “Dracula Bites” is now playing at Barter Theatre through November 12.

A Fabulous Toy Store For All AgesUnder The Apple Tree:

Erwin, TN. --- Under the Apple Tree is a toy store where you can get lost in time. Not matter your age, this family friendly Mecca of fun and games is located at the end of Main Avenue in downtown Erwin.

Shop owners Angie and Jody Moore, a pharmacist by trade, opened the store two years ago and kicked off their grand open-ing at the annual October Apple Festival.

Once inside, visitors are wowed with the wide selection of toys and games of-fered from toddlers to college aged kids. Under the Apple Tree also stocks the highly popular “Hello Kitty” line of purses and accessories that are popular with college girls as well as women of all ages. You can’t find the “Hello Kitty” line within 75 miles of Erwin so Angie said “Hello Kitty seekers” come from far and wide.

This incredible store also boosts a wide variety of other unique toys and board games. The popular “Find It” games are here as well as the Opoly series including Volopoly and Mayberry Opoly and many others.

“We also stock made in the USA wooden toys,” Angie said. “They are very popular and made in Vermont. We support Made in USA brands whenever we can.”

Price-wise, Under the Apple Tree offers toys and games for any budget. “We have affordable items that are only $2-$3 each,” Angie added. “Our novelty items are very popular with middle school kids. But, on the other hand, we are not Wal-Mart and don’t try to be. But we do offer a wide vari-ety of quality games and toys at affordable

prices.”And, about a month ago, the Moore’s

added the Blue Bunny brand of ice cream after researching several companies and brands. They offer 10 flavors and plan to added six more and a milk shake machine in the spring. Every afternoon a bevy of kids come to their store after school for a cone or sundae. “We are now a destination every afternoon after school,” Angie said. “Kids come in with their parents and look

around while their cones or sundaes are made. It’s a lot of fun.”

The Moore’s got the idea for a toy store when they became frustrated attempting to find edu-cational toys for their daughter and they were difficult to find. Initially opened as an educational toy store, they expanded the business to include all variety of toys due to the

demand.The Hello Kitty line became even more

popular when a store in the Johnson City Mall that carried the popular line went out of business. “It’s huge,” Angie said with a smile. “Hello Kitty is so popular that I have to order months in advance. And, each item is unique and they make just so many of something and when they are gone they’re gone. That certainly creates a lot of demand for Hello Kitty collectors.”

The Moore’s are excited as the holiday season is right around the corner. “There are so many gift opportunities we offer through a well stocked store,” Jody said matter-of-factly. “We will be adding the Penny Farthing Bike line better known as a mini-HI-Wheel bikes that are fully functional. It has a big wheel in front and small wheel in the back like the ones of old. A lot of kids love those and I think they will be highly popular especially as Christmas gifts.”

Speaking of Christ-mas, Under the Apple Tree provides gift wrapping and gift bags. Layaways are also welcomed.

Erwin, TN. --- It’s been over ten years since Amanda Delp darkened the door at the headquarters of the Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce. Since then she has seen and been involved in many positive changes in her community and admittedly says, “I absolutely love my job and can’t imagine doing anything else.”

When people throughout the Tri-Cities region think about Erwin, inevitably the annual October Apple Festival always surfaces to the forefront of the conversation. “But the Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce is much more than that,” Delp says with her signature smile. “It is however, simply amazing how much it has grown since I first started here. To think over 100,000 people would converge on Erwin every fall for the two-day event is just incredible.”

A trained accountant with a Bachelor and Masters De-grees from ETSU, Delp said she was having second-thoughts about being an accountant. “I told my parents that [fact] right before I was about to walk across the stage and get my Masters degree in Accounting. I was almost in tears. They told me, ‘Think it’s a little late for that.’ I can laugh about it now because I began working here two weeks after gradua-tion and this job is where I want to be. I can’t imagine doing anything else.”

Before completing her education, Delp gained accounting experience as a clerk at the University of Tennessee Agricul-ture Extension office at the Unicoi County Courthouse along with three other years experience at local CPA firms.

“I discovered through those experiences that I wanted to be more involved in my community and the people around me. My personality was not one to be stuck in an office where I couldn’t build relationships with clients and fellow co-workers. As an auditor, I moved from one clients office to another and was not able to form those lasting friendships that I’m able to form here at the Chamber.”

While Delp is proud of the success she has garnered dur-ing her time at the helm of guiding the Apple Festival ship [so-to-speak], she is just as proud of her involvement in serv-ing on former Gov. Phil Bredesen’s ad hock committee in the revamping of Tennessee’s Three-Star Program.

“It was an honor for Unicoi County to be selected as one of the eight counties to be a part of the pilot program,” she says. “It is a tremendous program that affects everyone in our county, by impacting the grant funds we receive. With the state and federal monies we receive as a result of the Three-Star Program, it ultimately helps keep everyone’s property taxes lower.”

Other programs spearheaded by the Unicoi County Cham-ber of Commerce include: Citizens Leadership Program, a 10 month intensive learning opportunity for business and civic leaders, the co-ordination of the annual Christmas Parade, the sponsorship of the Legislative breakfast, the ‘Keep Uni-coi County Beautiful’ program, and quarterly informative luncheons for its members, not to mention the hundreds of packets sent out to people all over the country and the con-

stant telephone, internet and foot traffic.

“We are a very busy chamber [of commerce] and while some folks don’t know all we do they would surely miss us if we were not here,” she emphasized.

Speaking of m e m b e r s h i p , when Delp took over as executive director, the cham-ber’s membership was under 100. “In my first two years we doubled our membership numbers and took a pro-active ap-proach concerning the promotion of Unicoi County,” Delp points out but not in a bragging way. “And, even in these tough economic times we, as a small chamber, are holding our own with the retention of about 180 members today.”

When her day is done, Delp is busy with her family, having recently married a couple of years ago, Brian Delp, a veteran teacher at Happy Valley Middle School. Her eight-year-old daughter, Leah, keeps her on the road to dance and gymnas-tics classes and frequent trips to the golf course. She also has two step daughters, Heather, 26 and Whitney, 21 both of whom live in Georgia.

The only child of R.L. and Angelia Bennett, Delp cherishes her life with her family away from the rigors of the chamber. “I don’t know which job I’m busier at!” she said with a laugh.

The Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce will hold its 34th annual Unicoi County Apple Festival on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 7th and 8th, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.

The festival, drawing more than 110,000 annual attendees, has been consistently named one of the Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 events in the southeast and is a three-year winner of the Northeast Tennessee Tourism Association’s Pinnacle Award. The premier two-day event offers something for everyone -- handmade crafts, antiques, entertainment, a large children’s area, a Blue Ridge Pottery show and sale, contests and a smorgasbord of food!

The craft festival, featuring nearly 350 vendors from around the country, will be lined along the downtown streets of Erwin showcasing their unique arts, crafts and foods.

Two stages will be included in this year’s festival line-up. The Phil Bachman Toyota Gospel Stage and the Gathering Place Stage will both consist of continuous entertainment on Friday and Sat-urday. Top gospel groups from around the nation will praise the Lord in song on the Phil Bachman Toyota Gospel Stage located on the corner of Main Avenue and Love Street. The Gathering Place Park will feature bluegrass, country, individual performers, danc-ing and much more.

The children’s area, sponsored by the Unicoi County Family YMCA, will also feature games and rides for the young and young at heart.

Bring your appetite and let it have a festival. You can enjoy everything from Chinese to Greek foods, traditional foods such as barbecue and homemade hamburgers to apple pies and apple frit-ters. For your convenience, two food courts, including tables and chairs, have been established.

To enliven one’s competitive spirit, the Unicoi County Apple Festival includes many activities and contests. For those with an appetite to cook, the University of Tennessee Agricultural Exten-sion Service offers a cooking contest for both adults and youth. The seventh annual Miss Unicoi County Apple Festival Pageant, taking place the weekend prior to the festival, will crown “Pageant Queens” in eight age divisions. The Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the Apple Dumpling contest, a fundraising contest in which children may vie for the title of Apple Dumpling of the Year.

For the athletic competitors, a weeklong tennis tournament, sponsored by Farm Bureau Insurance will be held at Fishery Park. On October 8, runners from across a five-state region will converge on the streets of Erwin for the running of the Nuclear Fuel Services Apple Festival 4-mile footrace and 2-mile race walk.

The 32nd annual Blue Ridge Pottery show and sale, held at the Unicoi County Intermediate School, is a must-see for Blue Ridge pottery collectors and admirers. Rare pieces can often be found during the show. Blue Ridge Pottery, now sought after by collec-

tors worldwide, originated in Unicoi County. The festival spans across a 5 block section of downtown Erwin

and includes adjoining side streets. From Interstate 26, take Exit 37 into downtown Erwin. Several parking areas around Exit 37 have been secured for festival attendees.

To ensure the safety of the large number of attendees, festival organizers ask that you please do not bring pets onto the festival grounds. Bicycles and skateboards are also not permitted on fes-tival grounds.

JOHNSON CITY, TN. – Mary B. Mar-tin School of the Arts at ETSU will present “MARS” with Director, Producer and Writer Geoff Marslett as part of the South Arts South-ern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmak-ers at 7 p.m. in ETSU’s Ball Hall Auditorium, Room 127, on Monday, Oct. 10. Following a screening of his feature film, “MARS,” Marslett and the audience will engage in a discussion of the animated romantic com-edy and his work as a filmmaker.

A reception with Marslett will follow the

screening and discussion time. Both film and reception are free and open to the pub-lic.

In the film, a new space race is born between NASA and the ESA when Charlie Brownsville, Hank Morrison and Dr. Casey Cook compete against an artificially intel-ligent robot to find out what’s up there on the red planet. “MARS” follows these three astronauts on the first manned mission to Earth’s galactic neighbor. On the way they experience life-threatening accidents, self doubts, obnoxious reporters and the bore-

dom of extended space travel.This film is told in the playful style of

a graphic novel, using a unique anima-tion process that Marslett developed specifi-cally for the film. Underneath the silliness, “MARS” is also an exploration of explora-tion. Why do we want to know what is out there? How do we react to what we find? Is it really that important? And where does love fit into the whole thing?

“Geoff Marslett’s romantic comedy, MARS, is a whimsical journey of space ex-ploration and of a search for love,” says Anita DeAngelis, director of Mary B. Martin School of the Arts, which again in 2011-2012 is sponsoring an annual series of six independent films. “The story is told in the style of a graphic novel, and Marslett de-veloped a hybrid animation technique that preserves the expressions and emotions of the actors. Having Marslett visit campus and talk with students will be a bonus, especially for students who study animation in our Digital Media program.”

The Southern Circuit Tour of Indepen-

dent Filmmakers is a program of South Arts. Southern Circuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partner-ship with the National Endowment for the Arts. Special support for Southern Circuit was provided by the Academy of Motion Pic-ture Arts & Sciences.

South Arts, a nonprofit regional arts or-ganization, was founded in 1975 to build on the South’s unique heritage and enhance the public value of the arts. South Arts’ work responds to the arts environment and cultural trends with a regional perspective. South Arts offers an annual portfolio of ac-tivities designed to address the role of the arts in impacting the issues important to our re-gion, and to link the South with the nation and the world through the arts.

October 2011

JOHNSON CITY, TN. – Known for her Surrealist and fantastical conceptions, painter Julie Heffernan will bring her per-spectives on visual art and her work to ETSU Oct. 11 for a 7 p.m. lecture at Ball Hall Auditorium, Room 127. The lecture is free and open to the public and a light reception will follow in Slocumb Galleries in Ball Hall.

“Alluring and timeless, Julie Hef-fernan’s paintings are self-portraits that place her in an enchanting world of make-believe,” says Paul Laster in a re-view featured on Flavorwire website.

Heffernan is an associate professor of fine arts at Montclair State University in Upper Montclair, N.J., and holds an MFA in painting and printmaking from Yale School of Art and Architecture. She has been actively exhibiting her oil paintings around the world since 1988. Her work has been displayed in London, Zurich and throughout the U.S. and published in The New York Times, Harper’s and The New Yorker, as well as numerous art forums.

To create her lavish, fantasy-filled paintings, Heffernan uses traditional materials of oil and canvas and less-traditional influences such as pre-sleep daydreaming – something she calls “image streaming” -- to create complex, multi-layered compositions, often featur-ing a central figure, such as the artist or a young man who resembles her.

Yet her works, which are lush with color, wildlife, flora, fauna and fruit, are not as far from reality as they seem. Her elaborate tableaus frequently include social and political themes. “Heffernan is able to unfold layer upon layer of meaning in her sensual, psychological dramas,” writes Rachel S. Rosen in San Francisco Art Magazine. “As prolific as she is profound, Heffernan is able to draw in the viewer and keep her engaged in the search for meaning long after the viewing experience has ended.”

Lecture-goers and art enthusiasts will appreciate the complexity of Heffernan’s process and results, says Anita DeAngelis, ETSU art professor and director of Mary B. Martin School of the Arts, which is co-sponsoring the lecture with the Depart-ment of Art and Design.

“Julie Heffernan’s work moves well beyond what we normally consider as self-portraits. Her work borrows from historical styles in portraiture, still life, and landscape,” DeAngelis says. “The complex paintings are covered with images of animals, foliage and fairies, and the surfaces are meticulously crafted. Heffernan’s work symbolically refer-ences issues of gender, feminism, mother-hood, and class structure.”

KINGSPORT, TN. – The Kingsport Public Library & Archives and ETSU’s Mary B. Mar-tin School of the Arts and the Department of Art and Design will present “Kingsport Revis-ited,” a collection of recent black-and-white photographs made by students from East Tennessee State University. This monthlong exhibit, which runs Oct. 1 to Nov. 10 in the Kingsport Renaissance Center Second Floor Atrium Gallery, is the culmination of a sum-mer course taught by ETSU’s Visiting Assis-tant Professor of Photography Joshua Dudley Greer.

For the class, students researched the substantial photography collection of the Kingsport Public Library & Archives and meticulously re-photographed dozens of

locations around Kingsport, just as they ap-peared in the original images. The resulting exhibition illustrates the significant changes in landscape, architecture and culture in Northeast Tennessee by pairing the new pho-tographs with their original counterparts.

An opening reception will be held Thurs-day, Oct. 6, from 5-8 p.m. in conjunction with the Friends of the Archives annual meeting. The exhibit will be open to the pub-

October 2011

Greeneville, TN. --- They call her the Thrillbilly Gourmet Chef. And it’s no wonder. When you have seven mouths to feed, every meal turns out to be a “thrill” to plan, prepare and complete.

These days Jan Charles [a.k.a. Thrill-billy Gourmet Chef] faces a daily chal-lenge of “maximizing dollars in prepar-ing nutritious great food on a budget that my kids enjoy,” she said in an interview recently after being the featured chef on the Daytime Tri-Cities morning television show.

Jan is teaching her children the value of knowing what is nutritious and what is not all the while letting them participate in the preparation and cooking of the family’s meals.

“People don’t cook anymore,” she says matter-of-factly. “In the 1950s our mothers were handed convenience food and it about killed us. We need to know about food and there are plenty of ways to utilize what’s available throughout the year so that we can maximize taste and at the same time eat healthy.”

Growing up Jan’s favorite dish was her grandmother’s chicken and dump-lings explaining that growing up in the South presents plenty of traditional op-portunities to go around especially when it comes to preparing food for a large family.

Her full-time job these days center around the caring for her houseful of children. “Yes, it is rare these days to have a big family. But, I always wanted to be with the kids. It can be insane sometimes and developing order can be a chal-lenge,” she added with a laugh. “But, I’ve always cooked all my life and remember

early on as a kid that I was curious as to what was in something. I guess I’m food obsessed when you get down to it.”

Jan is not only a master chef she enjoys taking on difficult dishes from France to Asia and many other countries in-between. “You have to learn the tech-nique concerning how things are cooked and seasoned. People all over the world cook this way and that way for a reason. Generally, in most countries people tend to cook what is available during a par-ticular time of year,” she said.

Taking a page from that concept and because of budget restraints, Jan searches the stores for good, wholesome foods that are available and reasonably priced dur-ing certain times of the year. She also makes it a habit of not wasting anything that is left over from her cooking. For example, she renders her own lards from leftover meat fats and buys pork butt and beef in bulk. And, after separating the stock, she generally shreds the meat into 15 [or so] meals. Her pork ends up in ta-cos, soups and wraps. “I am into practi-cal cooking linked to what is available a certain time of year. Food is good already, all you have to do is not screw it up,” she smiles. “You don’t have to be a slave in the kitchen just resourceful.”

Jan also bakes fresh breads and pas-tries and next year is planning on plant-ing a vegetable garden to compliment her fresh food kitchen concept. “Nothing like going out the back door and plucking a fresh tomato off the vine,” she notes.

The owner of Julia Child’s first cook book and a half dozen French cookbooks, Jan explains that if something goes wrong in the kitchen with a dish it’s not the recipe’s fault. “You have to plan and taste, taste, taste. I don’t necessary think the food has to be pretty but I want my family to taste it and be unable to speak [because it tastes so fabulous].”

Jan returned to Greeneville two years ago after living for some time on the west coast. Her Southern upbringing saw her learn simple-styled cooking from her mother such as fried chicken and mashed potatoes to unusual dishes from her father who, like her, was a gourmet food addict. “My Dad’s attitude was one in which there was nothing her wouldn’t try. He traveled extensively and taught me that food was something to be enjoyed, experience and to be excited about,” she offered.

One thing is for sure: Jan believes the family should be together for meals and missing those times means missing out on important family interaction. “We sit down together and enjoy one another’s company and the older children actually help me prepare the meals. I think it’s important to bring our children up with the importance of family. And, many times that begins and ends at the dinner table,” she said.

Two of Jan’s Favorite DishesMushroom Stuffed Pork Loin Chops

This is officially a recipe I suppose, but

it’s also a technique that can translate to all kinds of meats and middles. Use your imagination! Stuff chicken with dried apricots or confettied vegetables, or beef with bleu cheese. Pork chops can handle both sweet fruits - like apples - and savory elements - like rosemary and red wine vinegar. Bread or don’t bread - as you like. Making a little pocket in a piece of protein and stuffing it with goodies will turn into one of your favorite tricks!

Pork loin is a favorite of mine – watch for specials, and you often get better pric-ing buying the whole loin and cutting the chops yourself. It is often on sale in the fall. The nice part of that is you can con-trol portioning and how thick the chops are.

4 very thick cut pork loin chops1 cup sauteed mushrooms 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated very

finely1 cup flour2 eggs, lightly beaten2 cups fresh bread crumbs1 Tbl fresh parsley, finely chopped1 tsp onion powder1 tsp garlic powder1 tsp salt1 tsp pepper2 Tbl butteradditional salt and pepper to taste,

freshly cracked pepper is far betterCut a pocket into each pork chop.

Season the interior of the pocket of each chop. Divide the Parmesan cheese into 4 equal portions, and put one portion into the pocket of each chop. Repeat with the HYPERLINK “http://dixiemockingbird.hubpages.com/hub/Toasted-Mush-rooms” Toasted Mushrooms.

Using a couple of toothpicks for each chop, seal the open edge of each pork chop. This works best with a little zig zag motion.

Make a breading station - this just means lay out the elements of the bread-ing so it’s easy to use. In one bowl place the flour, and season heavily with salt and pepper. In the second bowl place the two lightly beaten eggs and again, season heavily with salt and pepper. In the third bowl mix together the bread crumbs, fresh parsley, onion powder, garlic pow-der and salt and pepper.

Bread the pork chops by dipping first into the flour and shaking off the excess. Then dip the floured chop into the egg and allow the extra to dip off. Finally dip each chop into the bread crumb mixture, patting each chop well to adhere as much breading as possible.

Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large skillet with an ovenproof

handle, melt the butter over medium heat. Just as the butter melts and turns foamy, add the pork chops. Be patient at this stage. You want each side to turn golden brown, and you may need to turn the chops on their ends or edges to brown them off as well, if the chops are thick enough.

Once the second side has brown, and the pork chops are golden brown and beautiful all over, slide the pan into the oven to finish cooking. They should need only about 15-20 minutes.

Pull the pan from the oven and set the chops on a platter. Tent with foil to allow them to rest. It is really important that you give your chops ten minutes un-der the foil to rest. This redistributes the juices throughout the meat, and allows the carryover cooking to finish.

That’s it - that’s all there is to it. Serve it with just about anything. Think about the flavors that you are using in the meat - be it pork loins like this example, or chicken or beef or even whole fish - and what would be nice with that flavor pro-file. This particular recipe is really lus-cious - and you’ll adore it if you try it. But the method is what is important here. It works with so much! Try it...right now. Go. Cook.

Sweet Potato PieI have to admit this is NOT the very

best sweet potato pie I’ve ever made. I can’t find the recipe for best one. It was published by The Smithsonian in the 90’s, as part of a project collecting re-gional recipes, and had been gathered from a woman down in Mississippi. I made that one for years, and for once

today named Dave Hart as the school’s vice chan-cellor and director of athletics. Hart, who was the director of athletics at Florida State University for 12 years (1995-2007), currently serves as the Ex-ecutive Director of Athletics at the University of Alabama, where he leads the day-to-day operations of the department.

“I am very pleased to have Dave as our new vice chancellor and director of athletics,” University of Tennessee Chancellor Jimmy Cheek said. “He has extensive experience as an athletics director, and he has the passion and drive to lead our great ath-letics program.”

Comprehensive athletic success exemplified Hart’s tenure as the Florida State athletic director, as a combined 35 ACC Championships were won by 10 different Seminole athletic programs during his tenure. Additionally, the Seminole football team won nine ACC titles and appeared in four national championship games, winning the 1999 BCS Na-tional Championship with a Sugar Bowl victory over Virginia Tech.

The men’s outdoor track and field also claimed two national championships during that time, while the baseball program appeared in the Col-lege World Series five times and the softball pro-gram won nine ACC titles while playing the 2002 Women’s College World Series. During Hart’s last full year at Florida State, the Seminoles finished 15th in the Directors’ Cup, an all-time high for the institution.

Additionally, during Hart’s three years at Ala-bama, the Crimson Tide claimed the 2009 BCS Na-tional Championship and the individual athletic teams posted a combined eight top three finishes nationally over the last three years. He has 20 years of service as a director of athletics, including eight at East Carolina (1987-95), an athletic program he joined in 1983 after coaching and teaching at the high school following his graduation from Ala-bama.

“It is a privilege to be named Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics at the University of Ten-nessee,” Hart said. “To be entrusted to lead one of the nation’s elite athletic programs is an exciting opportunity.

“I want to thank Chancellor Cheek, and all of those involved in this process for their confidence and commitment. I am anxious to demonstrate my passion for Tennessee and the Volunteer Nation.”

Highly respected as a visionary and industry leader, Hart’s career has featured service as the president of both the National Association of Col-legiate Directors of Athletics and the Division 1A Athletics Directors’ Association. A former recipient of the Robert R. Neyland Award honoring lifetime achievement, Hart has also been named by his col-leagues as the Athletic Director of the Year for the Southeast Region in both 2000 and 2005, one of a few select individual to receive the honor multiple times.

During his 13 years at Florida State, Hart ne-

gotiated unprecedented, multi-million dollar con-tracts for the department totaling in excess of $175 million. He also devised and executed an extensive and comprehensive facilities master plan for ath-letics that eclipsed the $150 million mark. Hart initiated a multi-faceted Student Development/Life Skills program for all student-athletes at FSU, an endeavor recognized nationally as a “Program of Excellence” by the Division I-A Athletics Directors’ Association. He spearheaded the rewriting of the department’s mission statement to put the student-athlete at the core of athletic department priori-ties in its goal to build comprehensive excellence throughout all components of the department.

“Dave is as good an athletic director as there is in the country,” legendary Florida State Head Football Coach Bobby Bowden said. “He’s as sharp of an AD as I’ve been around in 57 years. He knows what’s important, and he’s a builder.”

Hart took a leadership role in FSU athletics department’s first major Capital Campaign, in concert with Seminole Boosters, which raised more than $75 million for athletics facilities and served as the catalyst for a subsequent effort. Within the Facilities Master Plan, there were several state-of-the-art facilities constructed, including a soccer/softball facility, a state-of-the-art Golf Facility and Teaching Center, a Basketball Training Center, and major renovations to the tennis and volleyball facilities.

Additionally, the Moore Athletics Center and Dick Howser Baseball Stadium are among the nation’s best, while a new aquatics facility and a renovation to the track building were finalized in 2008.

In recognizing Hart’s position within intercol-legiate athletics, ACC Commissioner John Swofford said, “ HYPERLINK “http://www.utsports.com/gen-rel/hart_dave00.html” Dave Hart is one of the best and most respected athletics administrators in the business. He thoroughly understands the nuances

of major college athletics, and he has superb val-ues to go along with his vast experience in the field. He is a proven leader at the conference and national levels.”

While at FSU, Hart made many key head coach-ing hires, including the hiring of FSU’s first African-American basketball coach in Leonard Hamilton. Under Hart’s direction, FSU formalized a varsity club to encourage the participation of former stu-dent-athletes in athletic department activities. He also placed a significant focus on the growth of women’s athletics at FSU, a commitment reflected in increased funding, competitive success and facil-ity upgrades.

Academic success also accompanied Hart’s time at FSU, as the school became home to the inaugu-ral National Student-Athlete of the Year, a State of Florida Woman of the Year recipient and a Rhodes Scholar. A record number of FSU student-athletes made the ACC Academic Honor Roll, were recipients of NCAA post-graduate scholarship awards and ob-tained degrees. Student-athlete community service involvement became a priority under Hart with stu-dent-athletes contributing more than 5,000 hours in community outreach projects.

Hart has also earned the Athletics Directors’ Award for advancing the quality and progress of student-athletes and the athletics program while at Florida State, and in 2008, he received the James J. Corbett Award, the highest honor bestowed by NAC-DA.

Hart’s commitment to service includes consid-erable time on numerous national and conference committees, including the NCAA Council, the NCAA Honors and Awards Committee and the NCAA Spe-cial Events and Postseason Bowls Committee, and he has consulted to the NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Council.

“Highly respected by his peers, HYPERLINK “http://www.utsports.com/genrel/hart_dave00.html” Dave Hart brings a wealth of experience and

knowledge gained from his journey as a student-athlete, coach, administrator, and leader,” said Joe Castiglione, Director of Athletics at the University of Oklahoma. “Dave and his wife, Pam, truly val-ue people and the positive impact each person can make toward the success of a program.

“The wonderful fans of Tennessee will enjoy building these new relationships together as all work to enhance the future of Volunteer athletics.”

Hart was one of 11 athletic directors nationally who worked as an advisory group to presidents and conference commissioners in ongoing meetings and discussions regarding Bowl Championship Series (BCS) format options and similar issues related to the football postseason. In addition to his prominent leadership roles nationally, Hart had direct involve-ment with the renegotiations of both of the ACC’s football and basketball television contracts and chaired the ACC Television Committee as well as the ACC Men’s Basketball and Football committees.

Hart also played an integral role in the ACC ex-pansion process that resulted in the addition of three new members in Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College. He also served as Vice Chairman of the NCAA Football Board of Directors where he represented NACDA and served with commissioners of Division I-A conferences as well as past NCAA President Myles Brand.

Hart has served as Executive Director of Athlet-ics at Alabama since August of 2008. Hart joined the UA Athletic Department after serving as an advisor to the Atlantic Coast Conference and ACC Commis-sioner John Swofford. A 1971 Alabama graduate, Hart played basketball for the Crimson Tide under legendary head coach C.M. Newton and earned a master’s degree from UA in 1972 while working as a graduate assistant basketball coach.

“Ballet with a Bite” Set for Paramount Center

for the ArtsThe City Youth Ballet brings “ballet

with a bite” to the Halloween season with its staging of Dracula set for 7:30 p.m. on October 14 & 15 as well as a matinee performance set for 2:30 p.m. on October 15 at The Paramount Center for the Arts located in downtown Bristol.

This rendition of Bram Stoker’s classic

story of horror and passion features im-peccable pas de deux, along with haunt-ing sets and costumes, and even humor set among the menacing vampires and

gypsies who grace the 19th-century stage. “This is an action-packed ballet that has challenged our dancers to bring to life the conflict, romance, and suspense of this story,” said Pace-White.

The cast is comprised all of local performers including senior and junior dancers of the CYB. Choreography has been led by Susan Pace-White, CYB’s ar-tistic director, and Sarah Sims, associate director along with choreography set by guest instructor, Thom Blessing.

Dracula is the story of repressed Count Dracula who seeks to avenge his wife’s death by tormenting an Eastern Euro-pean town, especially its local real estate broker, Jonathon Harker, his fiancé, Mina, and her friend, Lucy. As Dracula stalks the townspeople, they turn on him in a riveting climax.

The Official Blues Brothers Revue, March 10th, 2012

It seems like yesterday that brothers, Jake and Elwood Blues, played by John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd, invited the world to join them on a ‘mission from God.’

The hit movie The Blues Brothers was a loveable tale of redemption about the pair of paroled convicts, who set out to save the Catholic orphanage in which they grew up, from the taxation depart-ment. As the story goes, they re-formed their rhythm and blues band, The Blues Brothers, and organized a concert to raise $5,000 to pay off the debt and save the day. This Blues Brothers Revue is the only Blues Brothers show to be officially sanc-tioned by Dan Ackroyd and wife of the late John Belushi, Judith Belushi Pisano.

Tickets may also be purchased indi-vidually to each show, prices are as fol-lows:

Jeanne Robertson: $34 Adult, $30 Se-niors, $24 for Groups of 8 or more

Ronnie Milsap: $48 Adult, $44 Se-niors, $38 for Groups of 8 or more

Ain’t Misbehavin’: $30 Adult, $26 Se-niors, $22 for Groups of 8 or more

The Official Blues Brothers Revue: $36 Adult, $32 Seniors, $28 for Groups of 8 or more.

Summer has given way to Autumn, baseball has given way to football, and summer blockbusters have given way to scary movies. Yes, October is here and with the cool air comes Halloween and horror movie season. So what movies go perfectly with candy corn and hot apple cider? Here’s my list of Top 5 Most Frightening Films to start you off right…

1. Halloween (1978) – John Carpenter’s classic man-in-a-mask-stalking-babysitters flick is the one that wrote all the rules that today’s dime-a-dozen slasher movies live by. I first saw this one on tv when I was about 7 or 8 years old (I was pretending to be asleep so my parents wouldn’t make me go to bed) and it scared the bejeezus out of me. It’s stood the test of time and still holds up as a classic. Tip – avoid the over-the-top and completely unnecessary Rob Zombie remake.

2. Alien (1979) – With a very ambiguous trailer and the fitting tagline, “In Space No One Can Hear You Scream”, movie audiences at the time weren’t sure what to expect. What they got was an extremely scary film by a young filmmaker with an unprecedented eye toward production design. It is the classic haunted house film, but instead of some gothic mansion the setting is space – what can be more isolated than that? It’s followed by James Cameron’s fantastic “Aliens” and a couple more forgettable sequels.

3. Psycho (1960) – Alfred Hitchcock’s original motivation in making Psycho was that wanted to see if he could make a scary film for under $1 Million dollars. He succeeded to the fullest. Pitch perfect acting (Anthony Perkins’ just-beneath-the-surface aura of malice is more frightening than the film’s big twist), music (Bernard Herrmann’s nerve-twitching score doesn’t allow the viewer a moment of comfort), and direction (Hitchcock’s use of shadow within the black & white photogra-phy is amazing) are impeccable.

4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) – The plot is one that’s now been done to death – city folks (usually teenagers) make a couple of wrong turns in the country and end up in the backwoods of nowhere fighting for their lives. That familiar story has never been done quite as well as it was back in 1974 in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The acting and filmmaking are very rough-around-the-edges, but that just adds to the film’s look and feel. By the way, it’s not nearly as gory as the title implies.

5. Zodiac (2007) – Most people think that David Fincher’s crowning achievement as a director is Se7en, but for my money it’s Zodiac. The film is based on the real life serial killer that terrorized California’s Bay Area in the 60’s and the San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist (yes, you read that right) that became obsessed with the case. It features a career-elevating performance from Robert Downey Jr. and some unbearably tense scenes. Find the extended director’s cut, if possible.

Five Favorite Fright FilmsBy: Toby Laek, Producer, Daytime Tri-Cities

October 2011

The first concert in the Johnson City Sym-phony Orchestra’s 42nd season brings French horn virtuoso Elizabeth Freimuth to Johnson City. Ms. Freimuth, principal horn for the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestras, will join Music Director and Conductor Robert J. Seebacher and the JCSO in performing the Horn Concerto No. 1 by Rich-ard Strauss. The pro-gram also features two works by Antonin Dvor-ak, the Carnival Over-ture and Symphony No. 9 in E minor, known as the “New World Sym-phony.” The theme of this year’s concert series is By Request: The Best of the Johnson City Symphony, combining musical favorites and favorite solo artists who are returning to share the stage with the orchestra.

Known for compositions that reflected his Czech background, Dvorak worked in Prague, then part of Bohemia, and in England, where he a was able to reach a degree of financial stability through his composing. Opportunity took him to the United States in 1892, shortly after composing the trilogy that included the Carnival Overture. He took a position at the National Conserva-tory of Music in New York, and while there studied indigenous American mu-sic—spirituals, plantation songs, and Native American music—working the elements he discovered into his own compositions, including his Symphony No. 9, “From the New World.”

Elizabeth Freimuth joins the symphony to perform one of the landmark works for French horn, Strauss’s Horn Concerto No.1. Composed early in Strauss’s career, the concerto was written for his father, principal horn player for the Munich court orchestra in the 1880s. Freimuth is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music and Rice University Shepherd School of Music and has been a featured soloist with orchestras throughout the United States. She has taught horn classes at several universities, music schools, and institutes.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. 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. Season tickets are still available online at www.jcsymphony.com or by calling the symphony office at 423-926-8742. Tickets for the entire season range from $70 to $120. The symphony accepts Master Card, Visa, and Discover. Free bus service is available from Colonial Hill, leav-ing at 6:15 p.m.; Maplecrest and Appalachian Christian Village, at 6:30; and City Hall, at 6:45 p.m. Concerts are partially funded under an agreement with the Tennessee Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Johnson City Symphony Announces Concert October 8

lic Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The concept of Greer’s class was influ-

enced by the work of photographer Mark Klett’s Rephotographic Survey project of the 1970s. Klett, a former photographer for the U.S. Geological Survey, revisited the sites of government survey photographs of the American West first taken in the 1870s, says Anita DeAngelis, ETSU art professor and di-rector of co-sponsor Mary B. Martin School of the Arts. One hundred years later, he re-turned to record new images from the same

vantage point as the original photograph. “The choice of the original photo and

the use of modern equipment influence the results of the new image,” DeAngelis says. “Rephotography projects, by providing op-portunities to compare images side by side, are often used by historians, by individuals who study the phenomena of slow change over a period of time, and by researchers who study social changes, among others. We are excited to see and help support Mr. Greer’s local historical photography project.”

The following artists’ work will be in-cluded in the exhibition: Veronica Adding-ton, Samantha Adkins, Alan Beuris, Angela Freese, Trish Gibson, Hannah Hamilton, John Hathaway, Megan King, Amanda Mil-stead, Ashley Nease, Joshua Powers, Wrightly Reed, Lauren Roberts, Andrew Scott and Cassie Williams.

Chef

I followed the original recipe exactly (which I rarely do!). It was silky, rich, de-licious - redolent of HYPERLINK “http://hubpages.com/topics/food-and-cooking/main-dish-and-side-dish-recipes/potato-main-and-side-dish-recipes/1632” sweet potato, cinnamon and cream. Then I lost the newspaper clipping.

I’ve searched for several years - even contacting the HYPERLINK “http://pe-temaida.hubpages.com/hub/The-Smith-sonian” Smithsonian in an attempt to get it back. No success. Over the years, I’ve worked on several recipes in an attempt to duplicate it. I haven’t gotten quite there - although I will say, this one is pretty dag-gone good. Matter of fact, if I had never known about the one from Mississippi, I’d say with all confidence that this one was the best ever, especially bathed with a touch of sweetened whipped cream. This pie is a terrific alternative to pumpkin, or a great way to add sweet potatoes to your diet. Matter of fact I used this to get sweet potatoes into my children. If I said ‘sweet

potatoes’, the Precious Darlings would turn up their adorable little noses. But if I said ‘pumpkin pie’ (I lied), they’d say ‘yay!’.

You can certainly add this to your Thanksgiving or Christmas menu, but don’t save it just for a holiday. It tastes too daggone good.

The recipe!You’ll need:1 lb sweet potatoes1 stick butter, room temperature1 cup sugar1/2 cup cream3 eggs1/8 teaspoon freshly ground cinna-

mon1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon2 teaspoons vanilla extract1 bananapinch of kosher salt1 recipe HYPERLINK “http://dixi-

emockingbird.hubpages.com/hub/Pie-Crust-All-Butter” All Butter Pie Crust, prepared in a 9 inch pie plate

Preheat oven to 350F. Wrap sweet po-tatoes in foil, and bake for an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. They should be very soft when pierced with a fork.

Simultaneously, roast unpeeled ba-nana on a baking sheet for 30 minutes in the same oven. Remove and set aside. Banana will be extremely soft.

Remove sweet potatoes from oven, unwrap them and allow them to cool until comfortable to handle. Remove the skins, and place the flesh in a mixing bowl. Mash potaotes with a fork. Pull the peel off the banana and add it to the bowl. Mix with sweet potato.

With a mixer, beat butter into sweet potato and banana. Add sugar, cream, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and salt, and mix unti well incorporated. Mixture should be very smooth.

Pour filling into the unbaked pie crust.

Bake at 350F for just at an hour, un-til a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Elizabethton, TN. --- Brenda Vanhuss, owner and designer of Lovely Creations, wants to cheer you up with her unique candy baskets and beau-tiful wreaths. The Siam resident enjoys making unique candy bouquets and arrangements for holi-days, weddings, birthdays and special occasions.

About six years ago while working at a local flo-rist Brenda said the idea of making her own signa-ture wreaths and candy bouquets was born. “I was just learning but I thought, ‘If they can do it I can too!’” The rest, as they say, is history.

For several years she displayed her work at the annual Christmas show at Sycamore Sholes State Park. “I don’t participate in the Christmas show anymore because I spend what time I can here at Three Ladies Gift Shop.”

Brenda and her husband, Max, attend Siam Bap-tist Church she is also involved with the annual Red Cross Blood Drive and is a member of the Women of the Moose.

“My crafts and baskets are affordable and dif-ferent,” she said matter-of-factly. “I can make them as elaborate as anyone would want or, on the other hand, simple. Along with the candy bouquets some of the other themes I’ve used include baskets for golfers, fishermen, truckers, football fans as well as tea and soup arrangements. I just enjoy making something that always cheers someone up!”

Elizabethton, TN. --- Art was a way of life at an early age for David Kramer, from drawing on the bedroom walls at age six to sketching the wonders of Europe while in the U.S. Navy. This continued through college and into a full-time job in the Commercial Art field working on art for vari-ous toy companies, IBM, Honeywell, Dairy Queen, Happy Chef and various industrial manufactures. Most of his career has been spent doing pre-paid art for corporation, bring to life their message through a good design and color scheme. The retired graphics designer looks at his craft as the wonder-ful years evolving now into a self expressive stage at personal art.

Kramer’s experiences have inspired him to make his art playful, edito-rial and realistic. Even though his gallery is the table tent cards at your local Dairy Queen announcing the latest stuffed animal, or the pages of product catalogs, and the ads in your favorite trade magazine. He is also the guy that drew the instruction manual for that toy you had to put together at Christmas.

Kramer uses his life and learning experiences to bring his fine art to a level you can enjoy, explore and ponder, all the while knowing that he has touched a part of your kindred spirit.
