!"#$%&#&'()*+Stonehenge Golf Course will host
the Tennessee Women’s Open for the fourth consecutive year, set to tee off with the fi rst round on Thursday, July 19th. The three-round event will be played on Friday and Saturday.
The tournament, offi cially known as The Golf Capital of Tennessee Women’s Open, was fi rst held in Cumberland County at Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain. It was played here for the fi rst time in 2004.
For the sixth straight year, The City of Crossville will serve as the sponsor of the event. “We are extremely proud to partner with Fairfi eld Glade Community Club to bring this prestigious tournament to Stonehenge Golf Course, the fl agship course in Cumberland County and
one of the primary reasons we are known as the Golf Capital of Ten-nessee,” said Crossville Mayor J.H. Graham, III. “We look forward to a
long and successful tenure here.”The fi eld size has been increased
several times over the years as the popularity of the event grows. One of the great things about this tourna-ment is Fairfi eld Glade’s community involvement. Some locals host players in their homes and many others work at the event, which needs a large contingement of volunteers.
Forty to fi fty pros will be part of the 100+ players who will ascend on Stonehenge for the Open, which is one of Tennessee’s most prestigious championships. This event has been turning out a Women’s Open Cham-pion since 1999. The tourney format is 54 holes of stroke play, with the fi eld cut to the low 60 players and ties after

2011 champion Kendall Martindale will be back to defend her title.
Everyone who is familiar with my magazine, and my stories, knows that I pen a column called, “It’s A Wonder-
ful Life.” It is here that I write about my closest friends and acquaintances, some deceased and some still with us, who have achieved some degree of fame. Over the years, I have shared my memories of
these friends with you, the reader. Sometimes, depending on the situ-ation surrounding their death, I am melancholy when writing the column. That is how I feel today as I prepare to carefully choose my words to tell you about my close friend and Christian brother, Ken Scarbrough.
There is no easy way to explain it. Ken and I shared a common bond of friendship that ran deep. Even though we only met about 24 years ago, I felt as though I had known him my entire life. We had a lot in common, but it was more than that, I loved Ken like a
father or an older brother. We had a thousand 5-min-ute conversations, always taking time after church services to chat as we made our way to the door. Often we lagged behind our wives, as we tried to cram a few extra subjects into our talks.
We visited in his home, and he in ours. He and his wife Rose Mary accompanied our family up to Dale Hollow once on a houseboat trip. Our conversations could go slow, we had no where to go. We were both avid sportsmen. He loved gardening and so did I. Of course, he was a loyal fol-lower of the “Big Orange,” and he had been a season ticket holder since 1948 and even went on the road to watch the Vols. He gave me a Commemora-tive Book once, that chronicled the 2001 National Championship Season.
You see, Ken lived a “Wonder-ful Life.” He and Rose Mary had four daughters and a son. Ken was a native of Crossville and his parents were original Homesteaders (James and Beulah Walls Scarbrough). After high school, he moved to the Chattanooga area where he had a great career with J.I. Brown Tree Experts, Inc. He worked as an Arborist and later in account-ing. He retired from that job and came back to Crossville, moving back into his childhood home, a Homestead House on Sawmill Road. He lived there until his death on April 13, 2012. He died from complications resulting from pneumonia, following surgery. I was caught off guard. I did not know he was that sick. He was a young 82.
Kenny Scarbrough met his wife-to-be, Rose Mary, at the Varsity Drive-In in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee.
They were both trying to play a song on the same small, table-side juke box. He was 20 and Rose was 18. They became the parents to son Kenny Jr., daugh-ters Becky, Lindy, Cathy, and Penny. The children grew up in both Crossville and Chattanooga. My wife, Natalie, who is a Crossvillian, knew the family as
they visited often, where they attend-ed the same church when here. Retire-ment brought them back for good in 1988. The children and grandchildren continued to visit.
Ken had a big heart. He cared about people. I want to tell you about two projects he threw himself into. In 1998, he helped to start a weekly Prayer Class, meeting at the Main Street Church of Christ building every Tuesday morning at the same time, to pray for people in need of prayer and to send out cards to the sick. I have been the recipient of some of those cards over the years, and it meant a lot to me to know that people were praying for my recovery from illness or surgery. They signed and sent out thousands of cards. This might not impress you, but it did me. Every Tues-day morning at the same time and the same place for 14 years. That is dedica-tion and putting others fi rst.
Ken also cared about the Home-steads. He spent two years on a project that resulted in identifying all the original Homesteaders and docu-menting their existence for the Home-stead Tower Association. You can go there and see the results of his work,
and read his words on a monument to those original families who established the Cumberland Homesteads.
My friend Ken was also a hobbyist photographer who eventually made his grandchildren and great-grands his primary subject matter. But he made lots of beautiful photographs of the local countryside, fl owers, sunsets, etc. Ken was not idle for long. He usually had a project which kept him busy. I miss him very much. He was my friend.

“This is a much anticipated event for our Community, and we look
forward each year to host some of the best women golfers, from not only Tennessee, but some of the best in the country. It’s just one more reason why the City of Crossville is known as The Golf Capital of Ten-nessee,” said Crossville Mayor J.H. Graham III. “We are proud to partner with the TGA, the Fairfi eld Glade golf staff, and the Glade community, all working together to make this event so special.”
This will be the fourth year for the tournament to be held at
Stonehenge Golf Course in Fairfi eld Glade. It is the ninth straight year for the City of Crossville to host to this prestigious event. Defending champ Kendall Martindale, a member of the Vanderbilt golf team, will be in the fi eld to defend her title.

36 holes.The total available purse for pro-
fessionals in the Open is $25,000, with the low pro receiving a fi rst place check for $5,000. The champion receives a crystal award and their name engraved on the Women’s Open trophy, while the low amateur receives a crystal award. The top 10 low amateurs re-ceive medals.
Stonehenge will present a solid challenge to the fi eld as the 6,549 yard, par 72 layout, has a reputation not only as one of Tennessee’s most beautiful courses, but also as one of the tough-est. Opened in 1986, Stonehenge Golf Club existed as a public golf course, located in the center of Fairfi eld Glade. Immediately after it opened, Golf Digest called it the top new resort golf course in the country, with its bent grass tees, fairways and greens mak-ing it different from any golf course in the world. Over the years, Stonehenge maintained it’s reputation, being named the state’s top public course year after year until it’s sale to Fairfi eld Glade Community Club last year.
The Tennessee Women’s Open has grown over the years to the point where it attracts players from all over the country. Past tournaments drew players from 15 states and two foreign countries.
One former champ is Marci Turner, the two-time All-SEC, All-America golfer at the University of Tennessee (2005-2007). She shot a 220 (+4) to
take home the fi rst place money last year as the low professional. Turner is now the assistant golf coach at the University of Tennessee.
Another former player, Brooke Pancake, made a four foot putt on the 18th hole last week, to secure the NCAA National Championship for the University of Alabama.
The Championship Chairman will be Jean St. Charles. Dori Webb, who served as the Director of Women’s Golf for the TGA and was very visible in this event for several years, now works for the Golf Foundation. Her replacement is Tracy Parsons. The TGA will work with FGCC Golf Director Steve Kraft and Stonehenge Head Pro Warren Huddleston on all details as they relate to the championship including: course set-up, recruitment of rules offi cials, pace of play, hole location sheet, start-ing times and groupings, results, ac-ceptance of entry applications, course marking, tents, tables, starter boxes, scoreboard posters, signage, etc.
The 2012 Tennessee Women’s Open Championship is open to Ten-nessee female amateurs, female ama-teurs from bordering states, and female professionals. The championship takes place over three rounds, 54 holes of
stroke play. The fi nal round is cut to the lowest 60 players and any ties for 60th place.

More Sad NewsTalley Ridley dies
A couple months ago I learned that Crossville Ford Sales Manager Talley Ridley was sick and would be going into the hospital for kidney surgery. I saw him several times and he talked about his impending surgery, never acting the bit least nervous. Talley had his surgery, but never recovered, being put on life support. The news of the seriousness of his condition caught me off guard. I just never thought it would come to this. Tal-ley Ridley died from complications of his surgery. He was 57.
Talley passed away on Thurs-day, April 19. He is survived by his wife Janet Ridley; one daughter, Jennifer Headrick (Daniel), brother, Gregg (Becky) and sister, Sherry, two grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Talley lived in Knoxville, but stayed in Crossville a few days of each week he worked.
I have known Talley for several years and have bought a couple vehicles from him. He was a very likeable man and I always en-joyed visiting with him, whether I was there to sell him an ad, or for him to try to sell me a car. If you spent any time around him at all, you would soon know how much family meant to him. I was there once when his daughter came in with one of his grand-daughters. I know that all grandpa’s love their
grands, but you could see a special bond there. She was only about 4 years old (a guess), and she was in his lap in nothing fl at. I knew there would be no talking to Talley that day. I know Pat Copeland and the rest of the Crossville Ford crew will miss him, as I will.
Bryan Rigney new Sales Manager at Crossville Ford

I would like to wish my father a Happy Father’s Day and to tell you a story about him.
During the 1970’s my father worked in auto manufacturing. He also grew tobacco which provided some extra money during Christmas and helped pay for the family home. During those days you really had to fi nd a way to create your income, and my father never seemed to mind the back breaking hard work of farming.
Having a fear of being laid off from his manufacturing job also gave my father an incentive to prepare for the worst, so his action plan was to be a part-time farmer. He also grew fi elds of green beans in the hopes of selling this produce at the Farmers Market in Nashville.
As kids, my brother and I enjoyed plenty of long hot trips to the Farmer’s Market. I remember we would almost sizzle in the hot sun during the days at the Market, and we really appreciated it when the cooler breezes of night showed up. That’s right. A lot of times we stayed with our truck load of green beans until the following day. In the early morning hours, restaurants and fresh market vendors would arrive to check out the produce so they could stock up for their daily business.
It was all about supply and demand. The fi rst thing our Dad would do when we arrived at the Farmer’s Market was to investigate what types of green beans were already in supply. I learned that if we were the only truck with fresh pole beans, we would get a premium price. But, if all the trucks were loaded with pole beans, then we would have to drop the price and might only make a tiny profi t for all the hard work.
Same thing with Credit UnionSpeaking of supply and demand, Upper
Cumberland Federal Credit Union has continued to grow in deposits (supply is high). Due to a high supply of deposits, the credit union needed to loan more money. Recently offered auto loan specials with rates as low as 2.75% APR. This created a
great demand in the community for auto loans, and the credit union set a record in March and April of 2012 by loaning over $4 million!
This is a great example of credit union members recycling cash among each other and fi nancially benefi ting from the credit union services.
Loan demand plays a huge role in what is paid on investments, so encour-age everyone you know to keep their loan business local so the whole community
benefi ts for potentially better dividend rates.
Valuable Lessons LearnedNow back to my Dad. I stated earlier that Dad
was never afraid of hard work. Today, he is almost 80 years old and continues to grow a garden that is over one acre in size (see picture). Our Dad never had the opportunity to attend college, but he taught us some valuable lessons concerning family, work ethics, and being self-supportive:
• Be thankful for and take care of what you have (family, job, food, shelter, savings) and plan for the unexpected because it is most likely just around the corner.
• Have an emergency fund set aside that can help with different situations such as a layoff, per-sonal disability, family illness, or other unplanned events.
• Never borrow money if you do not have an action plan of how you can make payments in case your job disappears (such as a reserve account with 6 months of money for payments).
• Learn more than one job skill so you can in-crease your chances of providing for your family.

Cumberland Federal Credit Union, whose offi ce is lo-cated at 627 Livingston Road in Crossville. For more information about Credit Unions, you can contact her at 484-9433. Denise’s column appears in each edition of Crossville Life.

If your family enjoys the outdoors and being on and around the water, you are going to love this new event sponsored by Obed Watershed Community Association and hosted by Meadow Park Lake.
The fi rst annual Meadow Park Lake Waterfest & Family Fun Day will be held on Saturday, July 7th, from noon until 4 p.m. “There will be activities for every age,” Marlene Potter, Meadlow Park Man-ager said. “We are planning several differ-ent kinds of boat races utilizing canoes, small boats and kayaks. The boat races will be team events, and we are hoping to pair up fathers and mothers with sons or daughters.”
Obed Watershed (OWCA) is on the forefront of this event. “Promoting watersports is a way to get people to ap-preciate and commit to water quality in our streams and rivers,” said Dennis Gregg of OWCA. “That is the core of OWCA’s mission.”
There will be numerous booths and educational nature exhibits. Plans are un-derway for “water wars” for the kids who don’t mind getting wet. Merrimack Canoe of Crossville will be on hand with some of their locally-made canoes for people to try out. There is no usage fee for the day and there will be prizes in the canoe races. “It’s all about fun on this day,” Potter added.
“We want people to come out and enjoy our beautiful city lake.”
In addition to canoes and kayaks, there will be group nature tours of the lake on pontoon boats with narrators. Meadow Park Lake is home to Bald Eagles which are seen on a regular basis. If you take this tour, perhaps you will see this great bird.
If you or your children would like to experience the joy of “getting on the water,” there will be ample ways to ac-complish this. Canoes and Kayaks with instructors will be present. This event is to help the novice become more comfort-able on the water. In addition to “how to,” boaters will get instruction in safety. All boaters will wear life jackets.
The City Fire Department will be on site talking about fi re education. The Cumberland County Rescue Squad will be present to monitor the day’s activities, and
the State Park’s traveling nature display and fi sh exhibit will be there. Smith’s Wild Animal Control will be there with their mascot, “Toby the Turtle.”
There will be ample food and soft drinks available as Clark Annis will pro-vide the pulled pork and hot dogs for sale, plus Mayfi eld will be giving away mini ice cream sandwiches. There will be displays and booths for native species and animals found in this region of lakes and creeks.
The City-owned Meadow Park Lake covers about 300 acres, and will become larger as work now under way will make the dam taller, causing the lake to expand. There is an abundance of wildlife living in and around the lake. “We have Beavers, Water Otters and even a Bald Eagle living around Meadow Park,” Mrs. Potter added. “The beavers can be quite destructive on our trees, but we feel like they are under control. We also have a big population of water otters,” she said. “They make a mess around the shore and eat a lot of our fi sh, but people like to watch them.”
So make plans today to bring your whole family out to the Waterfest and Family Fun Day at Meadow Park Lake (City Lake) just off south Lantana Road. That date is Sat. July 7th beginning at 12 noon. For more information, call volunteer June Zettelmeyer at 788-5022.

Deep within dark caves in Middle Tennessee, archaeologists have discov-ered an elaborate series of drawings made by Native American people. Some of the drawings are in soft mud, a thin layer of clay sediment left there dur-ing long ago fl oods and maintained by the cave’s unchanging temperature and humidity. Some of the caves contain white lines etched into limestone. After being studied with carbon-dating charcoal from halfburned slivers of cane, the dates vary from eight hundred years old (belonging to the Mississippian people) to
older, around 4000 B.C. (6,000 years ago!) Today there are more than seventy known
darkzone cave sites east of the Mississippi, but the bulk lie in Middle Tennessee. Of those, the greater number are on the Cumberland Plateau, which is full of vari-ous sized caves. Most of the caves are Un-named (as in Twelfth Unnamed) to protect their locations.
The pictographs often contain wood-peckers at the beginning and end of a se-quence, other box-bodied birds, human-like fi gures, paddle-handed creatures with long wavy arms. Interestingly in some caves there are no images of weapons or violence.
At The Palace TheatreWe are fortunate to have several events
happening in Cumberland County that involve information about the caves. At the Palace Theatre,
Tuesday June 26, 5:00 pm reception, 6:00 pm presen-tation by Jan F. Simek, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Although this presentation is sponsored by the City of Crossville, Crossville Chronicle, and Peg Broadcast-ing, available at no cost to the audience, tickets may be obtained in advance at the Palace Theatre, the Shanks Center for the Arts, Cumberland Eye Centers (Galloway) FFG, and First National Bank FFG.
An extensive, premier exhibit of enlarged pho-tographs is scheduled Thursday July 5 through Friday August 31 at the Shanks Center for the Arts, Crossville. The photographs are by Alan Cressler and demonstrates the skills necessary to take photo-graphs inside a totally dark cave.
Watch for more information about the June 26 presentation at the Palace and the two-month exhibit of photographs at the Shanks Center. Perhaps there will be other events surrounding this unusual history so near to our feet.

The City of Crossville, Obed Wild and Scenic River , Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and OWCA and their partners recently hosted a “Rib-bon Cutting” in celebration of the suc-cessful improvements to the water quality of the Obed watershed. The celebration
started with a ribbon cutting ceremony. At-tendees enjoyed a guided tour of the site.
For more than a year many dedicated volunteers with the Obed Watershed Com-munity Association (OWCA) have worked fervently at Centennial Park making remarkable improvements to three storm water drainage areas that fl ow into a creek
that is tributary to the Obed River. These measures will help slow the runoff from the roads, parking lots, and commercial areas surrounding Centennial Park and signifi -cantly improve the biological integrity of the streams.
“Great partnerships make great things happen”, said Crossville Mayor J.
H. Graham, III. “I’m very proud of these organizations and their willingness to provide Crossville with their expertise and advice”. Mayor Graham was awarded the 2011 Water Conservationist of the Year by the Tennessee Wildlife Federation and mentioned the work by these partners on the Centennial Park project.

As a profession, social work is dedicated to the empowerment, self-determinations, and advocacy of individuals and families in all walks of life. Hospice social workers are an important part of hospice services available to you and work as part of the hospice team. In the medical world, social workers play a vital role on an interdisciplin-ary team to help insure that the needs and wishes of the patient and family members involved are being considered and respected as various treatments and options are evaluated. Hospice is a service that focuses on the ‘quality’ of life, and comfort of the individual who is in the situation that life expect-ance may be six months or so. The service embraces the needs and grief of the entire family. As a result of the ‘whole person’ approach, social work-ers are a natural fi t within the hos-pice service team. Social workers are trained professionals who specialize in helping patients and families work through the many changes that occur as our loved one’s health declines.
End of life issues are, to be sure, both complex and emotionally intense at times. Social workers are experts in helping individuals and families steer through the challenges that come at the end of life, and to help those indi-viduals recognize within themselves
the strengths and coping skills needed to adjust to the changes that death and dying bring.
Quality of life in times of crisis and adversity is maxi-mized when people are able to fi nd strength within them to endure and few events in life require more strength and endurance than losing a loved one or facing our own death. Remember, the hospice plan of care includes the family unit as well as the patient – psychological, emotional
and spiritual needs are often impor-tant parts of the plan of care. The so-cial worker can assist the patient and family make the decision about where they wish to spend the last days, whether at home or in a facility, or make other decisions about care and services. Each patient’s circumstances vary from another’s, but everyone will have some major decisions to make. The social worker’s role is to not impose any particular agenda, but to support your wishes and facilitate the process. The goal is to make the most of the time left together and to build a strong foundation for the future and with all the changes to come. Feel-ings of loneliness, anxiety, helpless-ness, or fear may be common, and the social worker is experienced in helping you recognize your feelings, express them and deal with them
constructively.Hospice of Cumberland County,
CMC hospital, all nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Cumberland County, have qualifi ed social service personnel to assist you and your en-tire family. Welcome the conversation of these social workers when ap-proached; they are here for you to the degree you want and need.

The Cumberland County Play-house continues its 2012 Adventure Theater season with Arlene Hutton’s See Rock City. Set in rural Kentucky in the 1940s, this tender, moving play follows married couple May and Ra-leigh during the fi nal months of World War II. When victory overseas brings unexpected consequences at home, the young couple is forced to fi nd common solutions to the challenges of a new post-war America. May, more interested in a career than in housework, became a school principal during the war but has to return to the classroom when the men who’d been fi ghting overseas return and resume the jobs they left behind. And Raleigh, discharged from the service early and denied a chance at combat because of his medical history, discovers that missing this defi ning event of his time is the greatest hindrance to his evolv-ing career as a writer. At its heart, See Rock City is a funny, touching and universal portrayal of a young couple very much in love.
The New York Times praised play-wright Arlene Hutton’s work, calling it “a portrait of a marriage...a look at the mid-20th century’s shifting cultural landscape. But Ms. Hutton never mis-takes theater for social studies, and we are all the better for it.”
Playhouse alumnus Tom Anglund (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Smoke on the Mountain, The Foreigner) directs, and Greg and Lindy Pendzick (Little Shop Of Horrors, Tinyard Hill) star as Raleigh and May. Rounding out the
cast are Playhouse luminaries Carol Irvin (Driving Miss Daisy) and Patty Payne (The Moving of Lilla Barton) as the mothers of the couple.
See Rock City opens in the Ad-venture Theater on May 31 and runs in repertory with Smoke on the Moun-tain (rated G, sponsored by Cracker Barrel Old country Store) through August 17. On the Mainstage, Broad-way and Hollywood star Bob Gun-ton appears in the autobiographical musical Walking on Water (rated PG, sponsored by Dirk C. Davidson MD, Tennessee Plateau Oncology) through June 16.
Tickets and information are also available for selected concerts at Crossville’s Palace Theater and other events at www.ccplayhouse.com or by calling 931.484.5000.

Last issue we took a look at what Long-Term Care insurance was, who paid the cost and whether or not it
was for you. This issues, let’s look at some key defi ni-tions about the amount of benefi ts and the benefi t period.
To begin with, we will say, “You should consider buying long term care insurance if: You have signifi cant
assets and income: You want to pro-tect some of your assets and income:: You can pay premiums, including possible premium increases, without fi nancial diffi culty.”
You want to maintain your inde-pendance and control your situation so as to lessen any fi nancial or emo-tional burden on your family. You want the fl exibility to choose where you will receive care.
Key defi nitions:Daily or monthly benefi t amount
- The amount of daily or monthly coverage in dollars you choose, which becomes payable once you have satis-fi ed your “elimination” or “waiting” period (referenced below). Insurance companies typically offer daily benefi t
amounts that range from $50 to $450, with amounts of between $100 and $200, being most commonly selected.
Benefi t period - The number of years your policy will pay benefi ts for covered long term care services. Ac-cording to the 2009 LTCI sourcebook, the following benefi t periods were se-lected for policies purchased in 2008:
7% chose two years: 30% chose three years: 15% chose four years: 24% chose fi ve years: 11% chose six to ten years: 13% chose lifetime
The daily benefi t amount multi-plied by the benefi t period will give you the total pool of money avail-able to pay for covered expenses. For example, a policy with a $150 daily benefi t and a fi ve year benefi t (1825 days) period gives you a total ben-efi t of $273,750. Any unused portion of your daily or montly benefi ts are retained in the total benefi t pool and may be used for future expenses, thus extending the life of the policy beyond the original benefi t period.
Elimination Period - The length of time you must pay for covered ser-vices while chronically ill or disabled before the insurance company will begin to pay benefi ts. It is similiar to a deductible in your health insurance policy. For example, if you select a

Express Employment Profession-als, a leading staffi ng company in the U.S., Canada and South Africa,
has compiled data identifying top threats that en-danger businesses profi tability and productivity.
“We are ex-cited about sharing this information and helping busi-nesses prepare
for how these threats can affect them,” said James Perry, Manager of Crossville Express Employment Professionals.
According to Express, the most immediate threats are the inability to innovate, losing a competitive advantage, the high cost of reckless hiring, poor leadership and commu-nication, and regulatory nightmares.
“The shift in employment caused by the Great Recession has led to a shortage of talented employees,” Perry said. “Since the economy has started to improve, workers have been looking for better opportuni-ties.”
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 54 percent of com-panies have reported losing talent
during the fi rst half of 2010. The data compiled also suggests
companies are starting to feel the pressure of the inability to innovate without high quality workers. Ac-cording to a study by the Aberdeen Group, 83 percent of companies surveyed claimed “shortage of talent” as the No. 1 issue their company faced in 2011.
A company’s talent shortage has also been associated with disen-gagement among employees. Of the more than 13 million employees surveyed by Gallup, 71 percent of employees in most companies are not engaged at work, costing busi-nesses $328 billion every year.
“To maintain a competitive ad-vantage, companies need to focus on retention, engagement and leader-ship,” Perry said.
Among the other threats, chang-ing laws and regulations in employ-ment has slowed companies’ produc-tivity as well. According to the Small Business Administration, regulatory agencies enact more than 3,500 new regulations in an average year, and in 2010, 224 major rules were added.

You take care of business.
90-day elimination period (the most commonly purchased), you will pay the total cost of the fi rst ninety days of covered care before benefi ts are paid. Typical elimination periods run 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, or 365 days. The longer the elimination perioed, the cheaper the premium, although your out of
pocket costs will be greater.Elimination periods may be de-
fi ned as either calendar day or service day elimination periods. Another elimination perioed called a zero-day elimination period, waives the elimination period for home health and community care, allowing you to receive immediate benefi t payments for these covered services.
Infl ation Protection - Insurers offer several options that increase
your daily or monthly benefi t to keep up with rising long term care costs (i.e. nursing home, home health care services, etc.) The most important are compound and simple infl ation protection. The compound infl ation option typically adds from 3% to 5% to the daily benefi t, compounded annually, while the simple infl ation option raises the daily benefi t usually by 5% automatically each year.
So, if the increase is compounded (5%), the annual increase will be higher each year and a $100 daily benefi t will be $265 a day in 20 years. If the simple infl ation option is cho-sen, a $100 daily benefi t that increases by a simple 5% a year will go up $5 a year and will be $200 a day in 20 years.

The $20 million construction project to expand the Surgery Depart-ment at Cookeville Regional Medi-cal Center is almost complete with six new operating suites now open, and phase two of construction now underway to update and modernize the other areas.
The project began construction last year, adding more surgical suites to help with the increasing surgical volume at the medical center. Phase two of construction has begun to re-model the surgical holding areas and PACU, post anesthesia care unit. Once construction is fi nished there will be a total of 16 new operating room suites.
Though the medical center has ten operating rooms that were built in the 1980s, nearly half of those rooms are 400 square feet, which is smaller than today’s standard operating room size of 600 square feet. The expansion includes the addition of six new 650 square foot rooms in a shelled area of the North Patient Tower. These new rooms will better accommodate surgi-cal cases that require more equipment.
Cookeville Regional now has 16 fully equipped operating rooms, performing procedures from each of these services Monday through Friday. In addition, a qualifi ed team of nurses and technicians are on call for emer-gencies seven days a week. Over 7,000 surgeries are performed at Cookeville Regional each year.

!"#$%&#&'()*+My family will tell you. I am crazy
about any kind of seafood! I can say that I have arranged vacations to Flor-ida for the family and ended up going one place or the other, not because of the amenities, but for the availability of seafood. Most of my great food memo-ries revolve around seafood.
I love crab legs of any kind (but King Crab holds a special place in my heart). I ate my fi rst King Crab at the Peabody Hotel about 35 years ago at a reception for the Tennessee Press As-sociation. Big chunks of crab was laying on a buffet table, arranged around an ice carving. I put a serious dent into that buffet table!
Once when I was at the National AAU Championships in Jacksonville, Florida, (1982) a group of coaches took us to a seafood restaurant on the St. John’s River called, “Crustateons.” Each circular table had a big hole in the center where we were told to throw our shells. They specialized in everything that came in a shell. Scallops still rank high on my list.
Oysters and a R.C.A couple years ago I was on vaca-
tion in Florida and stumbled across a little country store (complete with
creaky, wooden fl oors), that sold oysters on the half shell. It was one of these places like you see in the movies -- like time had stood still for 75 years. A guy stood at the end of a counter, shucking oysters. They served them on a lunch-room tray. That was all they sold. No menu, no tickets. You just checked out and told them how many dozen.
Seafood BuffetsWhen Legends Restaurant at
Fairfi eld Glade has a Seafood special, I usually try it out and compare it to the great seafood “all you can eat” experi-ences. Right now, you can make a res-ervation at Legends on a Friday nights and expect to enjoy a variety of seafood. What you get exactly, changes from event to event, but you can bet there will be fi sh, shrimp, crab and scallops. I do like their Asian, Alfredo or Scampi stir-fry stations.
New Orleans Manor HouseIf we are going to speak of “all-you-
can-eat” seafood, we must pause for a moment of silence for the infamous New Orleans Manor at 1400 Mur-freesboro Road in Nashville. Opened in 1977, the Manor House operated as a buffet-style seafood restaurant until it closed to undergo renovation. It
reopened in August of 2008, and is now an ala carte restaurant.
In their heyday, when I was a regu-lar on business trips to Nashville, they served soups and salds, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, Escargot, Oysters Rockefell-er, Jumbo Shrimp cooked six ways, Sea Scallops, Prime Rib, Atlanta Salmon, Grouper, Red Snapper, King Crab and, if your stomach would allow it, a Live Main Lobster, delivered to your table by waiters.
All this came for $24.95 plus bever-age and tip. This was a fortune in 1977.
Chinese oystersWhen things get really bad and
I have to have a “seafood fi x,” I head down to Cookeville to go to Mandarin Palace, a Chinese Restaurant with a Hibachi Grille in the back offering dif-ferent seafood options. They also have sushi (not really seafood), Snow crab legs and different kinds of fi sh, shrimp, frog legs, clams, mussels, etc. But it is their oysters on the half shell that gets my attention. They are the only restau-
rant I know of, anywhere around here, who serve Oysters.
Dylans is goodI have been pleasantly surprised
with the seafood choices at Dylans in Crossville. They are former Florida restaurant owners who moved to Crossville. Their grouper, scallops and shrimp are all fl own in fresh and are cooked to order. They also have a fresh crab cake, full of lump crab and I have had and enjoyed their fried oysters and whole belly clams.
Good way to spend $65Who wants to buy crab legs in a
restaurant and get just enjoy to really make you want some? I watch the gro-cery ads and when the per-pound price on Snow crab drop down around $4.95 to $5.95 (and it does occasionally), I go and buy about $60 - $70 worth and take them home.
We steam them and make our own drawn butter.
Lobsters OnlineThe best lobsters are supposed to
come from Maine. But, you can get live Maine lobsters delivered to your door (for a price). If you order three, you get the fourth one free and the cost is just $74.97.
There is always Red Lobster I love Red Lobster. There are those
people who lived on the north east coast before moving here. They grew up with the real thing. Some of these people will make fun of Red Lobster, but I am not one of them. I used to treat

myself to a special meal there every year on my birthday. My entire fam-ily enjoy going to Red Lobster and we have had very few bad meals there.
Pier crabbing in PatchogueMy friend Tony Palma and his
dad lived in Long Island, NY before moving to Crossville. Tony said they netted crabs, a soft shell variety using a fl ashlight. Seems the craps would follow the light to the shore, where they would catch them in a net. “We fi shed under a pier in Patchogue, Long Island,” Tony said. “Dad would steam them,. We got them by the bucketfuls. “ You could also catch them with a cage, using a blue fi sh or an eel for bait. You threw
the cage in and when it hit bottom, it sprang open. When the crab crawled in, you would jerk the rope and it would close, and you would haul it in.”
Digging for Cocina ClamsBack in the 1950’s and early 1960’s
my dad took the whole family on a vacation to St. Petersburg, FL every year. My uncle lived there, Hall Napier. Uncle Hall was a commercial fi sher-man. He had lemon and orange trees in his yard (that always impressed me).
He would come over to Wiggins’ Cottages, where we stayed every year, and visit. I remember him digging “cocina clams” out of the sand when the waves came in. Seems like he made some kind of soup with them, but I cannot imagine that you could eat them. They are too tiny. Can’t imagine what the little meat would look like.
Guess that would be my fi rst exposure to fresh seafood.
Oyster richOnce, back when I fi rst moved
to Crossville, I overheard a guy at the golf course at Lake Tansi talking about “making a oyster and shrimp” run. I decided to get in and gave him an order for some of both. He told us when he would return and to have our ice and coolers ready for the transfer.
He was there, right on time, and I got a grass sack full of oysters and a bunch of shrimp - whole, head and all.
I have always been a good cook,but I knew nothing about cooking fresh seafood. Just getting into the oysters became a challenge, and this was before the internet. No research to be had. It took a while, but I fi nally found the right tool, and I was “oyster rich.” A dull
knife and a pair of work gloves eventu-ally paid off. Once I got the feel, it was all downhill.
I guess I was lucky that they were fresh and made the trip on crushed ice. The shrimp were easier, I had fi shed with live shrimp before, so knew what I was getting. Some Seafood boil, a hot pot and some experimenting yielded a good meal and lots of samples for neighbors. I was not afraid to eat the head, but some others were a bit squea-mish.
•I would like to hear from you, if you
know of a great seafood restaurant that you think I would enjoy or a seafood memory of your own you’d like to share. Email me at [email protected] or send your comments about this article. I always enjoy hearing from Crossville Life readers. - Don

Take a few minutes to look around the 5th Street Marketplace
collection of specialty shops, Home Decor and gifts before
or after dining in the Cafe.
!"#$%&#&'()*+As many of you know, there has been
quite an effort over the past 10 years or so, to return the area known as downtown Crossville to her previous glory. One of the goals of the organization, Downtown Crossville, Inc., was to fi nd offi ce space for those wanting to move downtown and to encourage restaurants and other businesses to relocate downtown. That exact scenario resulted in Napier Media and
Crossville Life being located downtown. I am celebrating one year in my new offi ces at 28 & 34 Fourth Street, and it has been a very pleas-ant year.
One of the pleasures of being downtown is the ability to walk more and drive less. We have all become so addicted to driving that we forget sometimes that walking is qucker and easier, and more pleasant. I know that many of our readers live in communities located several
miles from the downtown area and walking is out of the question, but for those of us lucky enough to be housed downtown, walking to our appointments is not only fun but good for us.
Once I make up my mind to walk to lunch, I have several choices.
To my right and across West Avenue is one of my favorite lunch spots, The Market-place Cafe, located downstairs in the 5th Street
Marketplace building. I ate there on the day I wrote this story. By the way, the Marketplace Cafe’s menu is perfect for people on a low-carb diet.
My favorite lunch there is tuna or chicken salad on lettuce, with a cup of fresh fruit (pine-apple, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon and grapes). On this day, I had their clam chowder. I truly love their sweet tea, but held off today because of my eating plan, and it took a lot of will power, because they have the best tea in town that you sweeten yourself at the table.
The food is clean, fresh and served in nice dishes, including some antique china. I refuse to eat out of styrofoam with plasticware. I like tablecloths, nice cutlery, polite waitresses and a comfortable environment, all of which you get

at Marketplace Cafe. Their menu is not huge, their cooking is not elaborate, and their prices are certainly not high -- but I fi nd it to my lik-ing and am becoming a regular.
One of my favoritiesTo my left, up 4th Street and across Main
is Forte’s, a destination of some acclaim. They are in the process of having the bricks on the old building sandblasted and the result is awesome. Forte’s is open daily for lunch and on Friday and Saturdays for dinner. I don’t have a bit of hesitation in saying that they have the best steaks in Crossville. They also have seafood and Italian dishes. As a matter of fact,
I would say their food is good enough that I would rank it as a special occasion restaurant, fancy enough for anniversaries, birthdays, promotions, etc. Crossville is lucky to have a restaurant like Forte’s. I know a lot of towns that would be excited to have a family-owned and operated restaurant this good.
In behind my building is 5th Street Diner. A meat & three would be how some would describe them. They are open for breakfast and lunch Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. They are closed on Wednesdays and Saturdays. This is a meatloaf and mashed potato destination, and their homemade pies and cakes are among the best in town. Their claim to fame is their skillet-fried chicken, usually on the menu twice a week, but always on Sundays. The patrons know it too, as the after-church crowd keeps them hopping every
Sunday.A couple of blocks away is Bostons,
owned and operated by the Jay family. They of-fer combos of salad, sandwiches, and soup plus a lot of other entree’s.
Mitchell’s Drug Store is also in the im-mediate neighborhood. While they are not a restaurant, they are certainly one of my daily destinations, as I join with about a dozen of my cronies for coffee and deliberation as we discuss everything thats fi t to be called “news.” Head cook and bottle washer at Mitchells is the supreme commander, Bob Mitchell, who holds court most days. We often celebrate special occasions with pinto beans, cornbread, turnip greens, and dessert.
Coffee is free on Saturday mornings as long as you wait on yourself. Dick Gould has been bringing in a dozen donuts every Satur-day morning for as long as I have been going there. My wife Natalie has been known to send some of her Oatmeal Toffee Bit cookies for the daily drinkers and like all donations, they are greatly appreciated.
Coming soonRuthie Kerley, owner of Marketplace Cafe,
is in the process of opening a bake shop next door to her cafe in the Marketplace building on 5th Street. She plans to feature speciality pies, cakes and other sweet treats by the piece or whole. Long term plans include a coffee and dessert lounge serving several kinds of coffees.
Failed businessesWe have had a bagel shop and a Java
(coffee) shop on Main Street that did not make it --both were in the same location. Rumor is that another shop is looking to go into that spot, which is devoid of parking space (located across the street from The Palace Theatre).
Addicted to baconI am addicted to good, thick bacon.
About a year ago, after seeing it on The Food Network, I ordered some extra-thick bacon that truly put store-bought to shame. It was a full 1/4” thick and hickory smoked. In fact, it was thick enough to cook on the grill. Now, as you might guess, they did not give this bacon away. As a matter of fact it costs $44.95 for two 2-lb. packs. The same cost for their extra thick peppered bacon (also mightly good). Once you’ve had this, it is terribly diffi cult to go back to bacon so thin “you can read the paper through it.” I tried it several ways, but the best was a recipe where I sprinkled some slices with brown sugar and baked it in the oven.
This same company, Edwards of Surry, Vir-ginia, sells Virginia hams, link sausage, smoked sausage and sausage in patties. If you have enough money, they will even sell you a coun-try ham or bacon by the 5-pound slab. Ever since I ordered that fi rst bacon, I have been getting their magazine which is so appetizing, I think I can smell the products by just reading the magazine.They also ship Chesapeak Bay Oysters, soft shell crab and crab cakes, You can go on line and sign up for their product catalog or write them at: Edwards Virginia Traditions, P.O.

Only Mexican Buffet in townWe discovered it quite by accident, but
it might be the discovery of the year.The new Mexican Restaurant in the Dollar General Store complex on Miller Avenue, across from Cumberland County High School, has an exclusive. Mexico Lindo has a Mexican buffet. The food is fresh and tasty and the price is right. I have never been very good at ordering from the Mexican menu -- I just don’t know a lot of dishes.

!"#$%&#&'()*+Recently, while my family and I
were attending the Southern Stars Concert at Stone Memorial High School auditorium, we participated in a survey handed out to all people present. The results from that survey have been tabulated and some are presented here.
There were 316 surveys returned from the April 21st concert. Some of the most interesting results are as follows:
• 39% of those who returned the survey said they were fi rst time at-tendees.
• 73% of those who returned a survey were from Fairfi eld Glade, 14% from Crossville, 4.5% from Tansi. From those who identifi ed themselves as “fi rst time attendees,” 61% were from Fairfi eld Glade to 17% from Crossville and 9% from Tansi.
• The average rating for “Quality and Value of Performance,” was 9.8 on a 10.0 point scale.
• Of those returning surveys, 57%
said they prefer Saturday evening concerts; 29% prefer Sunday after-noon. (Conclusion: Saturday evenings preferred 2-1 over Sunday afternoons, however this slanted by fi rst time attendees who preferred Sunday afternoons.)
“The good news from the survey,” SSSB founder Dwight Wages said, “was the large number of new at-tendees and the great ratings from
everyone. Every single survey said they would be coming back to our concerts.”
Coming upOrganizers of the Southern Stars
Brass Band say they are planning a Fall concert on Sept. 8, and a Spring concert TBA. Both will be held on a Saturday evening. The Winter concert will be Feb. 17 on a Sunday afternoon.

sample a little of this and that and learn as you go, deciding what you like and what you don’t. The dining room is huge and from what I can tell, it is a good thing, because they have had
big crowds on the days we have been there. Give this place a try and tell them you read about them in Crossville Life.
If you want the bestYou might fi nd this hard to believe, but
if you want the best Quesadillas in town, go to the bowling alley. The snack bar at Plateau
Lanes is actually a pretty good grille. I bowl in a league and eat supper there on league night, not having time to go home before we bowl. They have several good items on the menu, but their Quesadilla’s, are awesome with a big “Awe.” Go light on the Jalapenos unless you like heat, but this is really good. Its worth a trip to the alley, bowling or not.

!"#5)H#)&,+'HThe Feed Store on highway 70 is just
opening its doors for business as we pre-pare to pull out of their parking lot on our Yamaha Venture Royale. Today we are go-ing to take the back roads to Burgess Falls near Cookeville. It’s a perfect morning for a ride with the bright sun and clear sky. We need light jackets to start, but the day promises to be mostly sunny and warm. My wife, Julie, is riding with me on this adventure. We have an intercom system in our helmets so we could chat along the way. The 1300 cc engine roars to life and I kick it in fi rst gear. We’re on the way.
We stay on highway 70N riding past the fair grounds and the fl ea market. Across from the fl ea market is the cattle auction barn. I remember when I was little I would go there with dad when he had cows to sell. The old dirt track on the right brings back memories of Saturday nights with the smell of engine oil min-gling with that of popcorn, and the roar of the engines as they competed for the checkered fl ag. We relax and enjoy the cool wind on our faces, listen to the purr of the engine and watch the scenery slip quickly past. The aroma of freshly mowed lawns intertwines with the sweet scent of the privet and honeysuckle blooming along the side of the road.
We turn left at the traffi c light in Monterey, and before long the road starts to snake its way down the mountainside toward Cookeville. This is the kind of riding I enjoy most. I intently concentrate on the road, swinging the bike to one side then the other, constantly on the lookout for hazards that could send us off the edge of the narrow road. We lean hard with the bike around the curves and feel its power as I twist the throttle coming out. It wouldn’t take much to drag a peg on the turns. But, before long the road levels out again and we fi nd ourselves gliding through a picturesque valley with farms on either side of the road. There is a herd of black cows grazing in a fi eld of bright yellow fl owers. A forlorn look-ing horse is hanging his head sadly over a gate, wanting some attention from anyone willing to pause long enough to give it to him. Some of the fi elds have been recently plowed in preparation for the spring planting, and we smell the pungent odor of the freshly turned soil.
When we reach the interstate, we jump on headed west in order to avoid the traffi c in downtown Cookeville. We don’t stay on long, however, as we get off at the Burgess Falls exit and follow the signs toward our destination.
It’s nice to be back on the winding country roads. The aroma of new mown hay is heavy in the air. There are a lot of other motorcycle riders out today. Our camaraderie is expressed with a wave to each one.
We arrive at Burgess Falls and prepare to take the three-quarter mile hike to the Big Falls. We fi rst come to the Cascades and then to Middle Falls. These are smaller falls, but still beautiful in their own right. A little further along the trail and we are at the Big Falls overlook. Spectacular! We are looking down on the falls from high above it. The falls itself is a sheer drop of 136 feet from its top to bot-tom. We want to get a closer view, so we take the steep path leading down to the base of the falls. About half way down the switchback trail we get to the top of
the falls. I cautiously walk to the edge and look over. It’s a long way straight down to the churning water below.
I slip on the slick rocks at the base of the falls due to the mist billowing from the thundering torrent. The roar is deaf-ening. It is an awesome sight standing at the foot of the falls looking up to the heavens. The mist sparkles like diamonds against the blue sky and fl uffy white clouds. As I drink in this magnifi cence, a hawk soars silently over the falls riding the thermals, reveling in its freedom.
We are huffi ng and puffi ng by the time we climb our way back up the steep trail to the overlook. The hike was tiring, but well worth it. By comparison, the rest of the walk to the motorcycle is easy. The picnic table under the shade of the trees is inviting so we sit a few minutes to
rest, drinking our water and watching the multi colored butterfl ies fl it about. After our rest we climb aboard the bike, bring it to life and head it toward I-40 for the trip back to Crossville. Burgess Falls is defi nitely a place I would recommend for a motorcycle day trip.

!"#$%&#&'()*+The Nashville Tennessean, the
newspaper that I have held in the highest regard for 50+ years, has hired a new Sports Editor. I guess things like this have to happen. The editors of the past cannot last forever. Sooner or later it had to happen, but I never expected them to bring in a complete “foreigner.” It was announced in mid May that Dave Ammenheuser would be the new Sports Editor at the Ten-nessean.
Ammenheuser is from California. I have read the Tennessean daily since the 1950’s except for a few years when I lived so far away from Nashville that I could not fi nd one, except in the college library. I feel a bit betrayed. About the only thing Tennessee has in common with California is Lane Kiffi n, and you know what kind of reputation he left here.
How will this guy ever under-stand about the Tennessee-Vandy rivalry or the Belmont-Lipscomb battles, or of Tennessee State’s color-ful past, the Nashville Vols, not to mention Pat Summitt, Johnny Majors, Wilma Rudolph, Ralph Boston, The Tigerbelles, Richard Dent, Hacksaw Reynolds, a guy named Peyton, Earnie and Bernie, General Neyland, Phil Fulmer, Tee Martin, Mack Brown, Steve Spurrier, Bill Battle, Joe Gilliam, Larry Schmittou, Dick Barnett, Reggie White, Perry Wallace, Stanley Morgan, Ron Widby, Roy Skinner, Lou Gra-ham, Curt Watson, George Cafego, Beattie Feathers -- and these are just the ones I can remember right now.
By the time this new editor has learned enough about Tennessee’s sports past, he will be out in the pas-ture with all the other has beens. I just don’t think he has the pedigree to be “my” sports editor.
Father-Son Tournament hereThe 33rd Annual TPGA Father-
Son golf tournament will be played at Stonehenge on Saturday and Sunday, June 16-17. This is a prestigious tour-nament that Crossville has landed. No other community in the state plays host to four state championship tournaments.
City City of Crossville is the host and primary sponsor of four:
1) Tennessee Women’s Open2) Tennessee Senior Men’s Open3) Team Championship4) Father-Son Championship
Cream rises to the topYou have to be a golfer -- not nec-
essarily a great golfer, but you’ve got to be a pretty good golfer to under-stand just how tough Stonehenge is from the tips, on a sloppy course. On the fi rst day of the Tennessee Senior Open, after it had already rained a couple inches, the top 20 players in that prestigious tournament, went out and tamed the “old girl” with some very impressive scores.
We play that course from the white tees and it eats our lunch. I can’t imagine how tough it is from the tips with wet fairways. That would make it nearly, “unfair.” Yet, two in the fi eld, pro Harry Taylor and amateur Danny
Green, turned in identical 68’s. After the second round was rained out, the tourney was called and winners were determined by the one day scores. Taylor got the $5,000 check. Taylor had six birdies and a double bogey for his 68. Congratulations to a couple of local players in the fi eld. Eddie Wyatt of Crossville shot an even par 72 and fi nished seventh. Tony Cox carded a 75, which gave him a top 20 fi nish.
Ping’s real gift to golfI found about this story from a
friend who had played golf at the Dis-ney course in Florida and actually met
a veteran who had been the recipient of a set of new clubs from Ping.
The story goes that a disabled Army vet was playing golf at Disney and my friend noticed his bag with his name on it, and in a normal conver-sation, asked him who he was. He was told that as part of the discharge process from the rehabilitation hospi-tal, Ping came in and provided three days of golf instruction for him, fol-lowed by club fi tting . Upon discharge from the hospital, Ping gave him and all other discharged veterans a brand new set of custom fi tted clubs along with the impressive golf bags.
The fellow in this story was Ben Woods and he said that being fi tted for those clubs was one of the best things that ever happened to him and he was determined to learn to play golf well enough to deserve the gift Ping had given him. Ben is now out of the service, medically discharged.
Thank you Ping! Ping, whose products are made
with pride here in America (Arizona), has the good judgment not to adver-tise this program. I checked this out on Snopes.com, and found the story to be very accurate. I just wanted to share it with golfers here in Crossville (and anywhere else my circulation extends to.)

What Customers SayAbout Tubular Skylights
CALL CONRAD MILLER (931) 277-3707 OR (931) 335-3707
CONRAD MILLER ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS
HELEN HILL, FAIRFIELD GLADE“My house was built back when they were putting fewer windows in for energy-saving reasons, and my house was very dark. I first had Conrad install tubular skylights in my living room. I liked them so well, I had him come back and put one in my kitchen. The natural light that comes in though these skylights make me feel better and I can see better with them than I can with lights. I would recommend him to everyone. He was courteous, his work was efficient and the price fair.”
DAVE DEVOS, FAIRFIELDGLADE“Tubular Skylights really perk up homes, regardless of when they were built, and in my opinion as a Real Estate agent, makes them much easier to sell. Whenever I show a home that has a tubular skylight, say in a bathroom or dark kitchen. I always ask the people looking the house to “turn off that light please,” as we leave the room. It’s funny when they hit the switch and see that it is not a light. They do look like lights.”
DONNA BJERK, TELLICO VILLAGE“Conrad installed his Tublular Skylights in my home and I feel l’ve got a new house. It’s wonderful, not like a dark cave anymore. It’s like a miracle . . .”
BOB JACKSON, FAIRFIELD GLADE“I am really enjoying the Tubular Skylight. It is amazing how much light comes in through it. It is
much brighter than I ever imagined it would be. It really brightens up the kitchen where we had it installed, and we could not be happier with it. We highly recommend Conrad. He did a very nice job and there was absolutely no mess associated with
the installation.
DON AND NATALIE NAPIER, HOMESTEADS“We had Conrad put one of his skylights in our kitchen, which had always been a bit dark in one area. We have been very pleased and like everyone else, it took us a while to quit trying to turn it off. Recently, when we were remodeling our home, a new wall went in exactly where the skylight was. Conrad was able
to use elbow tubes to angle to the new location, which kept him from moving the external flashing on the roof. “
BOB AND DONNA BONCHER, FAIRFIELD GLADE“In 1997, when we moved to our new home, we had Conrad come out an install two, one in the kitchen and one in our laundry room, which was very dark at the time. They really make a huge difference and it made working there so much more enjoyable. Donna calls her skylights, which require no electricity or wiring, her “moons” because they put out so much light, even at night. They have made quite a difference. They actually help me feel better in the Winter. Natural Light helps!”
MR. AND MRS. STANLEY URBANIKFAIRFIELD GLADE, TN
"Conrad Miller installed a 14 " Sun Tunnel in our kitchen area, we were extremely happy with it, and also Conrad's work. We sold our house and
the brightness of the solar tube no doubt helped with this process."
“I first had Conrad install tubular
skylights in my living room. I liked them so well, I had him come back and put one in my kitchen.”

"No other company in Crossville can offer
these services"
Ford engineers spent signifi cant time integrating MyFord Touch, the company’s latest electronic driver interface, into the Edge’s center stack and instrument panel. The result is a huge improvement in both look and function over the aging green-lit displays that previously dominated Ford’s control interface and instru-ments.
The most prominent change is the addition of an 8-inch LCD screen with color-coded sections. Punch a corner of the screen to choose which system you want to control — entertainment, phone, Sync services or HVAC.
The logic here is familiar (Audi MMI, anyone?) and while it still requires some sorting to fi gure out exactly how to achieve your goal, it’s far easier than many systems which offer similar features. Ultimately, we were able to successfully activate every function we needed without much hassle, which can’t always be said for, well, Audi’s MMI system.
Phone pairing was easy, and the iPod interface is as intuitive as any we’ve used. The Sony-designed center
stack (standard on the Edge Sport and Edge Limited) which houses the most essen-tial HVAC controls is gorgeous, but its touch-sensitive buttons aren’t as practical as they are pretty.
Sure, run your fi nger over them and they generally do what you want. But because they aren’t real buttons, it’s im-possible to locate them by feel
or precisely control how many times you’ve pushed them without looking at the display. It made us realize that these adjustments are something we often
perform while look-ing at the road, not at the dashboard. And we doubt Ford wants to take your attention from the road.
The other big addition is that of the two confi gu-rable LCD displays on either side of the
centrally mounted speedometer. These are genuinely useful and are controlled by simple fi ve-way buttons on either side of the steering wheel.

!"#$%&#&'()*+The stage was set for an-
other great Tennessee Senior State Open but no one told the weath-erman. The annual tournament, with this year’s event attracting a fi eld of 101, teed off on Monday, May 21 and the entire fi elf fi nished their fi rst round. However, heavy rains turned the pristine course into a quagmire and the second round was canceled.
The tournament’s winners were deter-mined by the fi rst round scores. Harry Taylor, a profes-sional from Old Hickory, who
won this event in 2010, tied, Jackson amateur Danny Green for fi rst place
honors. Each player shot a 68 (-4 under). The were crowned
co-champions of the 2012 Tennessee Senior Men’s Open with Taylor taking
home the $5,000 fi rst place check.
One of this year’s highlights was a hole in one by this year’s
eventual co-champion Danny Green at hole # 11.
Crossville’s two entries in the fi eld, both made good showings. Eddie Wyatt shot a very respectable 72 (par) to fi nish in a tie for 9th. Tony Cox shot a 75 for a top 20 fi nish.
The City of Crossville would like to thank the many volunteers, the Fairfi eld Glade Com-
munity, and Cumberland Medical Center for all their help in making this a fi rst class event for our community to enjoy.
