In fact, we recommend taking field trips for many school subjects. The Field Trip Guide is an extensive listing of places to go and things to do in all of Tennessee’s 95 counties. You can use it while you study Exploring Tennessee and every year you homeschool. It includes five sections: 1. The County Field Trip Guide. This first section includes information about field trips in each of Tennessee’s 95 counties. It provides descriptions, addresses, and phone numbers for sites in each county. Each county listing has a state map with that county filled in to help you orient yourself. 2. Suggested Field Trips for Each Unit of Exploring Tennessee. Suggested field trips are listed for each of the thirty units of Exploring Tennessee. You will find the names of field trip sites and the counties in which they are located. Go back to the County Field Trip Guide to find descriptions, addresses, and phone numbers for the sites you would like to visit. 3. The Subject Guide. Look in this section for a list of field trips in various subject areas, such as the arts, science and technology, sports, music, etc. This guide can be used every year you home school, because field trips are listed in many subject areas. This section includes a list of places and the counties in which they are located. Go back to the County Field Trip Guide to find descriptions, addresses, and phone numbers for the sites you would like to visit. 4. Annual Events Guide. Find living history demonstrations, music festivals, and other educational events held annually across the state. These are listed by month or by season. At the beginning of each season or each month look in the guide to see what events your family would like to attend. This section includes a list of places and the counties in which they are located. Go back to the County Field Trip Guide to find descriptions, addresses, and phone numbers for the sites you would like to visit. 5. Tennessee Information Sources. Websites and offices with Tennessee information. v Start Locally Perhaps you would like to begin by visiting the sites in your own county and then visiting sites in the counties near you. When you are visiting another part of the state, obtain a Tennessee road map that includes counties. Look at your route. See what counties touch or are near your route. Check the County Field Trip Guide section to see what sites are in the area. Check the Annual Events Guide to see if any special events are taking place there. Call Ahead We have tried to make the guide user-friendly and accurate. However, schedules and phone numbers do change. We suggest that you always call before you go. We also recommend that when you call, you ask workers at the site to tell you about what is available there so that you can be sure it is the kind of field trip you have in mind. We have provided web links for many of the listings. Please use discretion as you surf the web. We are not responsible for the content of these sites or of sites to which they link. Keep your anti-virus software up-to-date! Our Sources The Field Trip Guide was developed primarily from information furnished by County Chambers of Commerce and Departments of Tourism and Economic Development. These organizations were kind and generous in providing information and encouragement for this project. We encourage you to visit or call the local Chamber of Commerce or government agency that provides county information. They can provide updated information to help you make the most of your visit to a different part of the state. vi Tennessee Cities and Towns Use this chart to determine the county in which a certain city or town is located.

Traveler Series libraries focus on delivering a genuine purity that can only be captured where the instrument and musical style originated, preserving its true character and history. We seek out a region’s most skilled and renowned performers; amazing folks with stories and bloodlines who live and breathe traditional provincial music. We leave with an education and appreciation for their culture and the role these beautiful instruments serve (as well as a tale or two of our own). We hope our Traveler Series adds an authentic native spirit to your music. Bluegrass fiddling is a distinctive American style characterized by bold, bluesy improvisation, off-beat "chopping", and sophisticated use of double stops and old-time bowing patterns. Notes are often slid into, a technique seldom used in Celtic styles. Bluegrass fiddlers tend to ignore the rules that violinists follow: they hold the fiddle the “wrong” way and often don't use the chin & shoulder rests. We journeyed right to the heart of the Bluegrass State for our Bluegrass Fiddle – Clay City, Kentucky – to the private studio of one of the most renowned names in Bluegrass music, Rickey Wasson. Rickey hooked us up with a true Bluegrass fiddle legend, multi-instrumentalist Ronnie Stewart.

    NORRIS FREEWAY CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN Prepared by the City of Norris, Tennessee June 2020 SECTION 1: ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

    NORRIS FREEWAY CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN Prepared by the City of Norris, Tennessee June 2020 SECTION 1: ESSENTIAL INFORMATION Location. Norris Freeway is located in the heart of the eastern portion of the Tennessee Valley. The Freeway passes over Norris Dam, whose location was selected to control the flooding caused by heavy rains in the Clinch and Powell River watershed. Beside flood control, there were a range of conditions that were to be addressed: the near absence of electrical service in rural areas, erosion and 1 landscape restoration, and a new modern road leading to Knoxville (as opposed to the dusty dirt and gravel roads that characterized this part of East Tennessee). The Freeway starts at US 25W in Rocky Top (once known as Coal Creek) and heads southeast to the unincorporated community of Halls. Along the way, it crosses Norris Dam, runs by several miles of Norris Dam State Park, skirts the City of Norris and that town’s watershed and greenbelt. Parts of Anderson County, Campbell County and Knox County are traversed along the route. Date of Local Designation In 1984, Norris Freeway was designated as a Tennessee Scenic Highway by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Some folks just call such routes “Mockingbird Highways,” as the Tennessee State Bird is the image on the signs designating these Scenic Byways. Intrinsic Qualities Virtually all the intrinsic qualities come into play along Norris Freeway, particularly Historic and Recreational. In fact, those two characteristics are intertwined in this case. For instance, Norris Dam and the east side of Norris Dam State Park are on the National Register of Historic Places.

    Central IBMA Member Vol. 36 No. 12 Texas Bluegrass December 1, 2014 CTBA Year-end Wrap-up by Stacy Holt, President Now that 2014 is winding down, I thought I would take this time to look back at our CTBA year in review. I am proud of our accomplishments and what our CTBA board and members did this year. First, we found a new home for the CTBA Sunday jam at Hill’s Cafe. What I hear from most folks is that it has been a great success. Lots of jamming space available and great drinks and food available have made for a good time. Hill’s has definitely made us feel at home and has done an excellent job with the two other events we held there this year. Our Willa Beach-Porter Scholarships were given to three very deserving kids. Brothers Ethan and John-Samuel May attended Camp Bluegrass as a part of their scholarships. Ryan Chatterjee was our other recipient. He attended Gerald Jones’ Acoustic Music Camp in Arlington. I have met these young men and their families and can safely say, this is by far the best way our membership dol- lars are spent. To see fine young people continue the love and spreading of bluegrass music brings a great joy. CTBA was at the forefront of the Llano Blue Bell Bluegrass Festival with great thanks to our own webmaster, Jeff White. Jeff was once again in charge of booking acts for the festival and chose a fantastic line-up from CTBA bands. I strongly encourage you to attend next year’s event.

  • Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment

    Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment

    Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment Report and Guidebook Prepared for: Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Prepared by: Jennings Environmental, LLC December 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report includes reference stream morphology and large woody debris data collected throughout Tennessee in 2015-2017. Hydraulic geometry data are presented as regional curves for Ecoregions 66, 67, 68/69, 71, and 65/74 to support stream assessment and restoration planning. Morphology relationships describe bankfull channel dimensions, pattern, and profile measurements in relation to channel-forming discharge and watershed drainage area. Large woody debris (LWD) data collected at reference streams serve as an indicator of natural stream conditions in forested floodplains. These databases and relationships are valuable for assessing disturbed streams to evaluate degree of departure from equilibrium, selecting and planning restoration projects to improve natural stream functions, and monitoring changes in stream conditions in undisturbed and restored stream systems. These databases should be supplemented with additional information collected during site assessment and restoration planning to improve understanding of local stream conditions throughout Tennessee. The morphology data collection included 114 undisturbed streams ranging in width from 3 to 132 feet with watershed drainage areas ranging from 0.02 to 117 square miles. Wherever available, United States Geological Survey (USGS) gage station sites were surveyed to provide long-term hydrologic information close to the reference stream. Bankfull stage indicators at a USGS gage provided the opportunity to quantify the channel-forming discharge and exceedance probability of this flow event. For reference streams with no gages, natural equilibrium stream segments with clearly identifiable incipient-floodplain bankfull stage indicators were surveyed to determine morphology parameters.
  • The History and Evolution of Clogging

    The History and Evolution of Clogging

    The History and Evolution of Clogging An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Lindsay Schultz Thesis Advisor Ball State University Muncie, Indiana Presented: December 2009 Graduation: May 2010 · .::: 'I Abstract Dancing is a wonderful way for people to express themselves. There are so many styles of dance in our world today, and each ofthese dance styles had to evolve from something before it. That is how a new dance is born. Old styles of dance are changed or combined to form something new and different. In order for everyone to appreciate dance, it is important for them to be exposed to many styles of dance and learn how it evolved. This helps people understand why each dance style is special and unique. Clogging is one style of dance that is not as well known in the United States by most people in the general public. This thesis project is made to showcase this wonderful style of dance as well as educate the public about what clogging is and where it came from. I will present the findings from my research about the evolution of clogging, show a video of traditional Irish dancing (which greatly influenced clogging), as well as perform a modem clogging routine I choreographed myself. I want everyone to hear about the history as well as see what clogging looks like today in order to gain a greater appreciation for this special dance style. 2 Acknowledgments -I would like to thank Mr. Greg Lund for working with me as my advisor on this project. He was helpful in providing ideas, research materials, and a place for me to showcase my thesis project.
