PHOTO GALLERY: Volunteer eliminates Cherokee

CHURCH HILL — A trio of Lady Falcons scored two goals apiece as Volunteer eliminated county rival Cherokee from postseason play with an 8-0 win in the District 2-AA soccer semifinals on Tuesday, Oct. 13. “We’ve been in a little bit of a slump. This was a way for us to kind of find our footing and get back to playing our brand of soccer the way we need to, especially going forward into Greeneville and then either Elizabethton or Sullivan East,” said Volunteer coach Mitchell Magill. Greeneville defeated Grainger 7-0 in the other District 2-AA semifinal on Tuesday to advance to the district title match. The Lady Greene Devils will be gunning for their 22nd straight district title when they host the Lady Falcons on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 6 p.m. at Bellamy Soccer Park’s Fox Field. “We’ve got a big task in front of us, coming up against Greeneville. I think it’s something we can achieve. But it’s not the end-all, be-all. We’ve bought ourselves a game next week in the region,” Magill said. Regardless of Thursday’s outcome (unavailable at press time for the Weekend e-edition), both Greeneville and Volunteer will move on to the Region 1-AA semifinals

Entertainers of the Year returning to Carter Fold

HILTONS, Va. — The Carter Family Fold will welcome back The Cody Norris Show to its stage on Saturday, Oct. 17, for an evening of classical country music. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. While the reigning SPBGMA Entertainers of the Year are known for the rhinestones that shine from their lapels and the fringe that hangs from their collars seem to conjure up memories of times gone by, The Kody Norris Show is very much directing their gaze forever forward. The talented group, made up of frontman Kody Norris, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris, Charlie Lowman, and newest member 14 year old, ‘Jim’ Hensley, finds themselves with a growing legion of fans craving the comfort that comes from their retro look, but equally craving dynamic instrumentation and thought-provoking lyrics — all of which can be heard throughout their latest albums Rhinestone Revival and Highfalutin Hillbilly. “There is a whole chapter of country music that’s just kind of faded away,” The Kody Norris Show’s frontman once said. “I believe The Kody Norris Show has been instrumental in bringing back some of that nostalgia and some of that classic look that country music and bluegrass music used to have all while bringing some

Over In Rogersville, Hale Springs Inn Serves Supper Where Andrew Jackson Once Slept

Some hotels hand over a key card and a map to the ice machine. Others hand over two hundred years of stories. On the main street of Rogersville, Tennessee, a redbrick building has been welcoming overnight guests since 1824, back when travelers arrived by horse and carriage instead of by car. A seventh president is said to be among its famous early guests, and today the same address serves supper in a dining room with a fireplace.

Surgoinsville Museum presenting historical drama

SURGOINSVILLE — Hawkins County did not yet exist during the Revolutionary War, but a number of people who lived in what became the county in 1787 played a role in one of the most important battles of the war that made the United States a reality. The Surgoinsville Area Archives and Museum, 120 Old Stage Rd., announced last week that it was joining up with the Town of Surgoinsville and had received a grant from the Tennessee State Museum Association as part of its America 250 initiative. With their support, the Museum announced the the upcoming production of “Voices from the Frontier,” a historical drama telling the story of the Overmountain Men of Hawkins County and their contributions to the Patriots’ victory at the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780. The battle took place on the heels of several defeats for the Patriot cause in the South. British Major Patrick Ferguson led a force of about 1,100 British Loyalists against the settlers on the other side of the mountains, hence their name “Overmountain Men.” After Ferguson threatened the settlers that he would “lay waste to their country with fire and sword” unless they stopped supporting the Patriot cause,

WSCC to host screening of “Nursing: Empathy Heals”

Walters State Community College will host two screenings of “NURSE: Empathy Heals” on Thursday, Oct. 22, giving students, faculty and community members an opportunity to see a documentary built around nurses telling their own stories. Screenings are scheduled for 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Created by filmmaker Chusy of Plan A Films, the documentary explores empathy and the emotional realities of nursing through first-person stories. Nurses reflect on experiences of grief, joy, compassion, uncertainty and resilience — offering a look at the human side of a profession centered on caring for others. The film grew from the Nurse Narratives Initiative, an East Tennessee State University-based collaboration involving StoryCollab, the College of Nursing, the Tennessee Center for Nursing Advancement and the ETSU Research Corporation, with support from Ballad Health. The initiative uses nurses’ stories to encourage reflection and conversation about empathy, resilience and patient care. The documentary also has a Walters State connection, featuring a Walters State nursing graduate and a current faculty member. Dr. Sheila Williams, dean of Health Programs at Walters State, said that connection makes bringing the film to campus especially meaningful. “Nursing requires tremendous knowledge and clinical skill, but there is also a deeply human side of
