COOL FOR THE SUMMER WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM THE GREAT ESCAPE

Lifestyle Letter

Explore. Dream. Discover.

ive into the pages of any good adventure book—or into the screen of a movie at the local theater—and you’ll quickly be immersed in captivating stories. You’ll be pulled into worlds of wizards fighting dark magic, pirates trying to seize control of ghost ships, a quest for revenge on a whale, a 1,100-mile hike for self-discovery and healing, the visit to a theme park populated by dinosaurs … the list goes on and on, but, unfortunately, we’re limited here. The point being: adventure exists all around us if you know where to find it—and with this month’s issue of Hendersonville Lifestyle, you won’t have to go far.

What better time to have an adventure than summer? The weather is warm, the kids are out of school and there are endless possibilities for experiences that create memories that can last a lifetime. We hope these pages will inspire you to do explore, to do things you’ve always wanted to do but never did and to—most importantly—have a little fun. There’s a Pinterest-worthy quote often credited to Mark Twain that we feel sums it up best:

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Have some great adventures, Hendersonville.

VOL STATE GROWING RESEARCH WITH A STUDENT PIPELINE The numbers are stunning. There will be a need for 1 million more science, technology, engineering and math professionals than the United States will produce in the next few years. There has been a 17 percent increase in job growth for STEM fields, according to a report by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. The question is: how do we produce more science professionals? Volunteer State Community College is teaming up with area high schools to grow a science research pipeline for students. Lebanon High School students gathered recently at Vol State to show off their laboratory skills. The partnership between the college and high school has big goals. “The idea is to give students the ability to walk into a laboratory and know what they are doing,” Phil Clifford, dean of the Mathematics and Science Division, says. “That’s going to put them head and shoulders above other students in school.” “These students will start their college career with a huge leg up,” Lebanon High School teacher Melissa Bunch says. “They’re doing molecular biology in my lab right now.” Lebanon High School is now offering dual credit courses in key research areas. The classes are taught at the college level and provide both high school and college credit. Lebanon is also leading the way as the first high school in the state to have biotechnology program. “The pathway from high school to community college to university is a big selling point,” Bunch says. That pipeline starts with science research and lab work in high school and continues with undergraduate research at Vol State. “We’re trying to grow our undergraduate research program by finding the right students,” Joe Dolan, assistant professor of biology, says. “If we can reach into the high schools and find students, it will help us identify them for our undergraduate research at Vol State.”

Hendersonville: City with a View by the Lake ARTICLE PAIGE SWOPE | PHOTOGRAPHY RICK MURRAY AND LYNN BOWLES

iddle Tennessee is known for its beautiful countryside with rolling hills and abundant lakes and rivers. A less obvious

feature of the Tennessee aesthetic is the bright night sky. The Nashville skyline is a popular feature of the city and can be seen from Nashville’s several rooftop bars, apartments, hotels and bridges. The view from the Cumberland Bridge looking towards downtown Nashville is unlike any other. The lights of the AT&T Building—locally known as the “Batman Building”—bounce off of the stars and illuminate the whole city. The industrial lights mixing with the night sky is a pleasant sight to see when driving into the city. The Cumberland River Pedestrian Bridge is a perfect spot to explore the summer sky against the backdrop of the skyline.
