he changing of the colors from vibrant, summery greens to autumnal yellows, rusty oranges and dark reds. The smell and crunch of freshly fallen leaves, the taste of warm apple cider and perfect pumpkin pastries—so much pumpkin. The windows-open Saturday football days and the chili-in-the-Crock-Pot Sunday football afternoons.

The shorter days spent at school and outside and the cooledoff weather after those dreaded dog days of summer. The commencement of all of these wonderful things can only mean one thing: fall is in the air.

And here at Hendersonville Lifestyle, we’re ready for some of the best things this season has to offer, starting with our area's higher educations institutions—Union University, Welch College and Volunteer State Community College—in this issue. You can truly get a great education at one of these fine schools without leaving Sumner County. That has only been the case for us here for a very short time, and I feel a lot of people here will take advantage of it.

You will also find in this issue coffee, beer and comfort food. Whether you’re enjoying nachos at a game, coffee from your cafe of choice or beer from your go-to sports bar, we hope you feel festive this fall with all of the great food, sports and drinks to be found.

Here’s to hoping October’s issue of Hendersonville Lifestyle gets you in the autumnal spirit and continues to inspire you with our great, local articles connecting you with the Hendersonville community.

The SRES Council, founded in 2007, is the world’s largest association of real estate professionals focusing specifically on representing senior clients in real estate transactions.

Dee Ann joins more than 15,000 real estate professionals

in

North

America who have earned the

SRES

designation.

She completed a comprehensive

course

in

understanding the needs, considerations and goals of real estate buyers and sellers ages 55 and older.

“With the baby boomer generation coming of age, there are more seniors than ever who are relocating

or

downsizing,”

she says. “This can mean they are both selling and buying at the same time.

When a senior works with a Realtor with the SRES designation, they can be confident the agent has an expert understanding of their lifestyle and financial needs. Seniors can be confident that a Realtor designated SRES will be able to help them every step of the way.”

Dee Ann has been in real estate for more than 14 years, having earned her license in North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee then joining Coldwell Banker Lakeside Realtors when she relocated to Hendersonville in 2013.

O

ver the past 10 years, there has been

a quiet revolution in higher education

in Sumner County. Before this period, residents seeking post-high school educational opportunities beyond the community college level had to attend institutions located outside of the county. These options typically resulted in significantly higher educational costs due to campus room and board or commuting expenses.

However, local students in 2017 are facing a dramatically different educational landscape than their predecessors did just a few short years ago. The addition of Union University in 2008, coupled with the establishment of Welch College in 2016 and the continued growth of Volunteer

Community College is the oldest institution of higher education located within the county. Located just minutes from Hendersonville in Gallatin, Vol State has served tens of thousands of area students since the early 1970s.

Currently, Vol State offers more than 90 academic programs to its more than 8,100 students.

"The most popular field of study is the University Parallel program, which permits students to earn associate’s degrees before transferring to four-year institutions to complete bachelor’s degrees," Vol State President Jerry Faulkner says.

Recently, Vol State announced the creation of the associate’s of applied science in mechatronics degree program.

FOR ICING

1 cup butter

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup white sugar

1 pound confectioners’ sugar

2 eggs

5 tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon butter-flavored extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Food coloring (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt When buying a new TV to handle all your sports-watching needs, consider these five things to choose the best fit for you: 1. THE BIGGER, THE BETTER—Keep in mind the size of the room

and how far away you will be sitting, though.

2. OPT FOR 4K ULTRA HD—4K Ultra HD TVs have more than 8 million

pixels while regular HD TVs have a little more than 2 million pixels.

3. CONSIDER REFRESH RATES—The higher the processing rate,

the more times per second the TV can refresh the images on the screen, increasing blur-free motion in fast-moving games. Look for a TV with at least a 120 hertz refresh rate.

4. IGNORE MANUFACTURER CONTRAST RATIOS—It’s easiest to

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl, mix together butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended using a sturdy spoon. Chill dough for 2 hours.

3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

4. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cookies from pan and cool on wire racks.

5. Using an electric mixer, beat shortening, confectioners’ sugar, water, salt, vanilla extract, butter flavoring and food coloring until fluffy. Frost cookies after they have cooled completely.

Finding Your Perfect Coffee Roast at Portside Java ARTICLE EMILY VANBROCKLIN Coffee. It's the liquid that fuels America. According to a recent statistic, more than 50 percent of Americans—that's more than 150 million people—drink at least one gourmet coffee each day with the average coffee consumer downing 3.1 cups per day.

It comes as no surprise that many coffee connoisseurs prefer one coffee roast over another. Roasting determines the flavor of coffee by causing the green coffee beans to change in taste. At lighter roasts, the coffee will maintain the flavors of the bean itself which are created by its variety, processing, altitude, soil content and weather conditions in the location where it was grown. As the beans darken to a deep brown, the flavors created by the roasting process begin to overpower the origin flavors of the bean. At darker roasts, the roast flavor becomes the prominent flavor, often making the origin flavor of the beans quite difficult to detect.

With so many different roasts available, how do you go about choosing the perfect one for you? Several key factors to consider when making your selection include the coffee's origin, variety, processing method, moisture content, bean density and desired flavor characteristics.

Or, you could head over to Portside Java on Walton Ferry Road!

Portside Java offers several different single origin roasts—the bean comes from one specific place —as well as three house blends.

The key to making the perfect blended coffee, according to owner Scott Howard, is to "get the coffee as dark as possible without losing the individual flavors of the individual origins of the beans in it."

2. Separate dough into 16 rolls and unroll. Brush each piece of dough with melted butter.

3. In a small bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.

4. Carefully roll up each dough, lightly pinching seams together.

5. Arrange the rolls 1 inch apart in the prepared cake pan and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
