Staying up to date TTU board looks ahead to growth BY LAURA MILITANA [email protected] With construction on two new buildings about to get underway and renovations in the early phases on two other buildings, Tennessee Tech board members are looking toward future university space needs. During Thursday’s meetings, the board approved sending the Ten- nessee Higher Education Commis- sion requests for funding for two new buildings — one for engineering ($54.4 million, with a $2.72 million match) and another for biology ($60 million with a $3 million match). “There have been no major renova- tions to any of the engineering build- ings since 1970,” Claire Stinson, vice president for planning and finance, said. “That department has not had a new building since 1971.” But the funding will not come Ty Kernea | Herald-Citizen quickly, as it has a lot of steps to go School buses head out from Avery Trace Middle School Thursday.

  • 2018 National Theme Announcement
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wreaths Across America Announces 2018 Theme “Be their witness.” MAINE and Washington, D.C. — Feb. 27, 2018 — Each year, millions of Americans come together to REMEMBER the fallen, HONOR those that serve and their families, and TEACH the next generation about the value of freedom. This gathering of individuals and communities takes place in local and national cemeteries in all 50 states as part of National Wreaths Across America Day. Each year, a new theme is chosen to help supporters focus their messaging and outreach in their own communities. Today, the national nonprofit announces the theme for 2018 is “Be their witness.” The inspiration for this year’s theme stems from the 2009 drama “Taking Chance,” which was based on the experiences of U.S. Marine Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl, who escorted the body of a fallen Marine, PFC Chance Phelps back to his hometown in Wyoming from the Iraq War. “I was deeply impacted by this story and found it difficult at times to fathom the burden this young man carried in his task. Lt. Col. Strobl volunteered to be a witness for PFC Phelps, and as the movie so eloquently states, he is now responsible in no small part for PFC Phelps’s legacy,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “Through the Wreaths Across America program, we are ensuring that the lives of our men and women in uniform are remembered, not their deaths. It is our responsibility as Americans, to be their witness and to share their stories of service and sacrifice with the next generation.” The millions of volunteers who devote so much of themselves to raise awareness for the mission to Remember, Honor, Teach, in their own communities utilize the annual theme when planning local events and activities in preparation for National Wreaths Across America Day, which will take place this year on Saturday, Dec.

  • Movies About Grief Rabbit Hole – Nicole Kidman
    Movies About Grief Rabbit Hole – Nicole Kidman Grief in the Family – What happens after the unthinkable happens? Rabbit Hole, based on the Tony- winning play by David Lindsay-Abaire and deftly directed by John Cameron Mitchell, slowly reveals the answer: something else unthinkable. Rabbit Hole is a moving, dark character study of what happens to a happily married couple, Becca and Howie (Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart), who suddenly lose the love of their life, their 4-year-old son. As in real life, the grief portrayed in Rabbit Hole takes peculiar twists and turns, and the deep sorrow and tragedy of the story is leavened by dark humor–much of it coming from Kidman. While Rabbit Hole is not an upbeat film, it’s emotionally resonant in the ways of some of the best films on similar subjects–like Ordinary People, Revolutionary Road, and In the Bedroom. Purchase This Movie at Amazon.com Taking Chance – Kevin Bacon Military Grief – Based on the true experiences of Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl, who wrote eloquently of them in a widely circulated 2004 article, Taking Chance is a profoundly emotional look at the military rituals taken to honor its war dead, as represented by a fallen Marine killed in Iraq, Lance Corporal Chance Phelps. Working as a strategic analyst at Marine Corps Base Quantico in VA, Lt. Col. Strobl (Kevin Bacon) learns that Phelps had once lived in his hometown, and volunteers to escort the body to its final resting place in Wyoming. As Strobl journeys across America, he discovers the great diligence and dignity in how the military, and all those involved with preparing and transporting the body, handle their duties.
