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

Greeneville-Greene County Humane Society Dog of the Week: Wilfred
Wilfred was born in a land far away, in a dragon’s lair. The dragon tried to teach Wilfred all sorts of dragon things, like breathing fire. “Okay, Wilfred. Take a big breath and blow,” the dragon instructed. But the only breath Wilfred could produce was hot, puppy breath. Flying didn’t go very well either. The dragon would sail off into the sky, but no matter how much little Wilfred flapped his Frito toes, he couldn’t even get five inches off the ground. “Must have been all those treats I ate,” he said to himself. Since Wilfred wasn’t really getting the fire or the flying, the dragon decided to teach him a more practical skill: hoarding gold. “Okay, Wilfred. Go find me a piece of gold jewelry and bring it back so I can conceal it in the lair,” the dragon said. Wilfred left the lair in search of the gold, but while he was walking through the woods, something caught his eye. “Oooh squirrel!!” he called as he took off. The squirrel out-scampered little Wilfred, and while he took a break, he got to thinking. “I don’t care about gold and jewels. I just want someone to love.” So, Wilfred
