Chattanooga Executive Center practices golden rule of service
When Jenny Kiser graduated from college “the first time,” she did so with a major in sociology and a minor in education from Middle Tennessee State University. Once she realized how few available jobs there were teaching sociology, she went back to school and completed the requirements for elementary education.
Make-A-Wish Foundation makes dreams come true for local kids
From the outside, there doesn’t appear to be anything magical about the small brick building on the corner of South Willow Street and Bailey in Chattanooga. But appearances can be deceiving, for within the walls of this unassuming structure, wishes come true.
Arkansas travelers
Last Friday evening was another drive westbound on I-40, toward Fayetteville and the Ozarks, for a chance to see my daughter and to watch a little football.
In the late-autumn sky, a flock of geese flew high overhead and a long stream of cars filled with other fans and future tailgaters stretched out miles ahead.
New Yorker promo: Part 3
It all started when Bill James, author of the widely read and enjoyed “View from the Cheap seats” column in The Daily Record (you guys in Chattanooga, who do not get Bill’s column in your paper, should log onto www.dailyrecord.us and read it there!) accused me of being intellectual in this column.
Weekly Indulgence
When I try to describe the music of The Greencards to someone, I often find myself at a loss for words.
My first instinct is to compare vocalist Carol Young, a native of Australia who also plays bass, to Allison Kraus or Emmylou Harris, although I’m not exactly sure why. Perhaps it’s her strong, emotional delivery, or the precise inflection of her voice. Maybe it’s the group’s bluegrass/Americana/folk vibe, or that each member seems to feel every song in the core of his or her being.
Fulbright recipient making the most of her time in the land of ice and fire
Many great works of art have survived for centuries to grace the walls of modern museums. “The Mona Lisa” currently hangs in the Museé du Louvre in Paris, France, while Pablo Picasso’s work can be found in the Guggenheim in New York City. Artist Elizabeth Tubergen, however, says she’s interested in things that disappear.
Bail bondsman offers a rare inside look at enigmatic profession
A Meigs County church treasurer is arrested for allegedly stealing money. Chattanooga police officers take a gang member into custody for his apparent involvement in a shootout that sends a stray bullet into the bedroom of a teenage girl. The parents of a Sequatchie County man charged with child molestation are arrested after purportedly allowing their son to live with his little sister.
Famed real estate trainer David Knox puts training materials online
Like many association libraries across the country, the Chattanooga Association of Realtors has a wide selection of instructional books, workbooks, CDs and videos available to its members. Among the many authors and instructors that have contributed to this library is David Knox, international keynote speaker and top sales trainer, whose books and instructional videos are among the most widely used and recognized in the industry.
Full Disclosure Home Inspection offers honest, objective service
“I’m a different type of woman,” says Melanie Moore, home inspector and owner of Full Disclosure Home Inspection.
Born on a job site in North Dakota, Moore says she’s kind of always known what she was supposed to do. Once her parents moved her back to their native Georgia, they raised her to become the son her father had never had. She helped him out on job sites and learned the tricks of the trade, keeping mental notes all the while, from her dad with one hand and from her mother, a real estate broker, with the other.
Kay’s Cooking Corner
The season for giving is here. As if there should be a season for that! That thought aside,
during the months of November and December when both Thanksgiving and Christmas are being celebrated, people typically share more of themselves and their money to friends, family, churches, schools or even at work.
The Critic's Corner
Sometimes, I wonder how certain movies were ever made. The week I wrote this column, that happened twice. As cost conscious as Hollywood is being during the economic downturn, I wondered who green lit the films I saw and why. Midway through one, I pictured an executive at his desk, his head in his hands, knowing there was a pink slip in his future for funding what turned out to be a multi-million dollar freak show.
