Museum hosts fundraiser for planned move

Community News Assistant Editor

Now located in a 1,000-square-foot space in Northgate Mall, the Chatta-nooga National Medal of Hon-or Museum is in the process of raising funds in order to move to a larger space downtown or on the North Shore.

Through a successful ban-quet fundraiser held in April the museum raised almost $20,000.

“It was the most success-ful event in our history,” said Executive Director Jim Wade, adding that the event drew 146 attendees.

The volunteer-run museum, which originally opened in 1987 at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, wants to move back downtown into an interim location approxi-

BenchMark offering free exercise classes for seniors

Red Bank Seniors on the Go participants exercise during the twice-weekly pro-gram.

Photo by Emily Crisman

By Emily CrismanCommunity News Assistant

Editor

BenchMark Physical Therapy is now provid-ing free exercise classes during Red Bank Seniors on the Go meetings at Red Bank Community Center Mondays and Thursdays from 10-11 a.m.

Ruth Jeno, a former Red Bank commissioner who started the Seniors on the Go program, said the city allows the pro-gram to use the center for free but no longer provides funds for the program in the city bud-get.

Marlene McRae of BenchMark in Red Bank stepped in to teach the seniors theraband ex-ercises and aerobics as

part of her volunteer work with the commu-nity.

“We’re trying to promote healthy living, prevent injuries and make sure they main-tain their strength and balance,” said Evelyne Burtis, regional direc-tor of BenchMark. “We want to make sure we maintain our strength as we get older so we can maintain what we usual-ly like doing.”

BenchMark also pro-vides free health screen-ings during Seniors on the Go meetings.

“We try to catch in-juries early to decrease the overall time they’re in pain,” Burtis said. “The quicker a person is seen after an injury, the overall health care cost is less.”

The exercise classes include seated exercises as well as standing exer-cises for balance.

“You don’t have to be an athlete [to take the class],” said Burtis.

She said BenchMark plans to continue offer-ing the classes as long as there is interest.

Seniors can stay for lunch after exercising for a $3 cost, which in-cludes an entrée, salad, dessert and drink.

mately 2,5000-3,000 square feet in size. Wade said he would eventually like for the museum to move into a more permanent 5,000- to 10,000-square-foot space.

Museum officials are currently looking at potential spaces, and Wade said he is unsure of the amount the museum still needs to raise in order to move.

“Every little bit helps,” he said. “Prop-erty downtown is quite expensive.”

The museum will hold another fundrais-er on the 70th anniver-sary of D-Day June 6. The Tennessee Aquar-ium IMAX 3D Movie Theater downtown will present two showings of “D-Day 3D: Norman-dy 1944” narrated by Tom Brokaw at noon and 2 p.m. All proceeds

will be donated to the museum.

Medal of Honor recipient Charles Coolidge will be in at-tendance at the noon showing and will be introduced by retired U.S. Army Gen. Bur-well Bell. The museum will also have several artifacts on display in the lobby.

“People should come to learn about the 70th anniversary of D-Day, one of the most

eventful happenings of World War II, and to support our museum,” said Wade.

Tickets for the event can be ordered at community.tnaqua.org/D-Day-3D-Nor-mandy-1944 or on the Aquarium’s website at naqua.org. A link is also available on the museum’s website at mohm.org.

NEW AT THE MUSEUMOver Memorial Day weekend, the Chattanooga

National Medal of Honor Museum installed two new touch-screen kiosks donated by the Medal of Honor Foundation.

One kiosk contains data on every Medal of Honor recipient, while the second features video vignettes of the action in which each Medal of Honor recipient was involved.

Jim Wade, the museum’s executive director, said the museum has been trying to acquire the kiosks for about four years. Retired Col. Leo Thorsness, the speaker at the museum’s recent banquet, made a call to the Medal of Honor Foundation and got the kiosks donated.

The data kiosk features a quiz that is popular with young museum visitors, said Wade.

“There’s no way we could purchase these kiosks,” he said. “Having them here at our museum is a great honor.”

Hixson resident’s story published in ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’

By Kelsie Bowman

Staff Writer

Hixson resident Kelle Riley was just about to enter the operating room when her mother grasped her hand and fervently said, “I love you.”

Though her mother was often lost in the haze of dementia, during mo-ments like those — like when Riley needed the comfort of a mother as she prepared to have her cancer-ridden thyroid removed — she returned to her.

“You can be in mourn-ing for decades,” Riley said, explaining that her mother began showing signs of dementia in 2005. “We had been losing our mother 10-12 years before her body left us.”

Riley’s spunky, pas-sionate mother Mabel A. Bennett died in January 2013, but Riley’s keeping her memory alive with a story she wrote that was recently published in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Living with Alzhei-mer’s & Other Demen-tias.” The book is a col-laboration between the Alzheimer’s Association and “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” said Madison Vincent, Chattanooga Alzheimer’s Association chapter communications manager.

“The whole purpose behind the ‘Chicken Soup’ book is to raise awareness of Alzhei-mer’s,” said Vincent. “Right now more than 5 million people in the U.S. are living with Alzhei-mer’s.”

And Riley, already a published author as well as a chemist and third-degree black belt,

knows firsthand what it’s like to live with the disease. She said the first time she really began to mourn her mother was when she sat down to pen the story for “Chick-en Soup.”

“It really helped me step outside of the chaos I had been living with and see how [my mom]

dealt with that disease,” she said of writing the story. “I really think there is a spirit that stays strong throughout it [the disease]. Remember that the person you love is still inside. There’s a part of them that still knows you, even if they can’t express it.”

Vincent said the Alz-heimer’s Association of-fice, located at 7625 Ham-ilton Park Drive, Suite 22, is a great resource for families with a loved one diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

“We want people to know we are here,” she said. “Our services are all free. We offer support groups, all kinds of re-sources, conferences. We want them to know they are not alone.”

ArtBites teaches kids creativity through art and foodBy Kelsie Bowman

Staff Writer

Uptown Art Studio and Sprouts Cooking are teaming up to give local kids a creative ex-perience using two sure ways to a child’s heart — vibrant paints and yummy food.

Each weekend in June, a new program called ArtBites will be held at Uptown Art, located at 2 Cherokee Blvd., Suite 100. The event allows kids ages 5-12 to learn about dif-ferent cultures through painting and cooking.

Participants will start off with an hour of painting led by Up-town Art owners Rona Hutchison and Kasie

Lindley, who will also teach about an artist or culture related to the

assigned painting. Then, the kids will move on to cooking with Sprouts,

a locally based mobile kitchen focused on working with children.

“It’s fun and it’s cre-ative,” Sprouts owner Allie Fincher said of ArtBites. “It’s so hands-on and I think it will be really exciting. They’ll leave with full tummies and a piece of art.”

Fincher and Hutchi-son originally met while working in a traditional office setting. As they both branched off to open creative business-es, the idea for ArtBites continued to develop.

“The education factor is so important to us,” said Fincher, explaining that cooking allows kids to practice math, read-ing comprehension, his-

tory, culture and more. “I want kids to under-stand the importance of healthy, nutritious eat-ing, and what better way to do that than to teach

them how to cook?”She added that she

puts an emphasis on cooking safety, and the recipes are flexible to allow for children with dietary restrictions.

Depending on how well ArtBites does in June, the program is something the duo hopes to continue, said Hutchison.

The classes are being held June 7, 14, 21 and 28 from 10 a.m. to noon. To find out more and register a child for any or all of the classes, visit sproutscooking.com or uptownart.com/Chatta-nooga.

Abba’s House offers new Musical Theatre Camp for kidsBy Kelsie Bowman

Staff Writer

Abba’s House is bringing a bit of magic to the community this summer with its new Mu-sical Theatre Camps for kids.

Though the church has brought high-quality produc-tions to its stage for years, these camps are a new ad-dition to its repertoire. Two separate camps will be offered, said camp director Gayla Aus-tin; one for elementary school students and one for middle and high school students.

After a fierce week of re-hearsals and preparation July 21-25, the elementary camp will present Disney’s “Cin-derella Kids.” The middle and high school camp will have two weeks of rehearsal July 21-Aug. 1 before its production of “Aladdin Jr.,” currently a Broadway hit.

Campers will bring the beloved characters to life as well as work with some of the technical aspects of the pro-ductions, Austin said.

“It doesn’t matter where their skill level is, we’re going

to meet them there,” said Ex-ecutive Pastor of Worship Ken Hartley.

“This gives them the oppor-tunity to actually become part of a production,” added Aus-tin. “We’ve also designed the

camp to give them options.”Campers can come for half

or whole days, depending on their and their parents’ sched-ule, she said.

Beyond his role as Abba’s House worship pastor, Hartley is a professional illusionist and experienced actor. With his help, the shows will incorpo-rate a little bit of magic, fitting with the Disney storylines, he said. Austin also has an extensive background in per-formance arts, with a master’s in music and a bachelor’s in piano.

“The production quality is going to be high,” said Hartley. “Gayla has easily directed over 20 productions and I’ve done that many or more as well.”

The auditions, which begin June 17, are open to the entire community, said Hartley. Kids don’t have to audition to par-

ticipate in the camp, added Austin. To find out more and register, visit abbashouse.com/musiccamp.
