The importance of cardiac surgery in Kingsport to the local economy

Click here. Each year, Kingsport loses $23.5 million from open heart surgeries that leave the community. For cardiac stent procedures, the lost revenue is $53.2 million. These numbers don't account for the follow-up visits and unnecessary expenses of driving to another city. Before you are referred to a hospital outside Kingsport, ask your cardiologist specifically "why?". Is the same procedure available in Kingsport? Is there a compelling reason to go elsewhere? Exercise your right to make informed choices and choose Kingsport! There is rarely a clinical reason to go elsewhere.

First and foremost, our hearts and prayers remain with the Logue family and Sullivan South as they face Greeneville this Friday night. Jake's testimony and the coaches' witness have been extraordinary. As Coach Hunter Jordan said, "Last Friday, Jake got to meet his hero. I know Him, I know Jesus Christ and I hope you do. Jake got to go meet him face to face. You take comfort in that. He got to meet his hero face to face." D-B quarterback David Roop said it well on his facebook page, "It goes further than a rivalry. It's a brotherhood, and we're a band of brothers." From the Sullivan South Pigskin Parents website: MANY THANKS to the Dobyns-Bennett football team for bringing dinner on Monday for the Rebels. Coach Clark and some of the D-B players brought the food. Their condolences and kind gesture of friendship is appreciated.

Netherland Inn Flatboat ribbon cutting ceremony

Netherland Inn Flatboat Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to be held Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Kingsport, TN- The Netherland Inn/Exchange Place Foundation is proud to celebrate the completion of the historic flatboat replica with a ribbon cutting ceremony to be held Wednesday, August 26th at 11:00am.

Bill Taff, a local businessman graciously provided the funding for the building of the flatboat replica. Taff is well known in the community as a successful developer whose works include Willowbrook, Stonegate Shopping Center, and the Tanglewood Subdivision. His generous funding allowed Kingsport to create a valuable educational landmark in teaching Kingsport’s history.

The 14 foot by 53 foot replica historic flat boat is mounted on a concrete slab located in front of Netherland Inn. The flatboat project is the second of four projects identified as essential to the long-term growth of the Netherland Inn complex. The other projects are the rebuilding of the bank barn and the building of a wharf and warehouse.

Netherland Inn officials say the replica flatboat illustrates the historical significance flatboats had with Kingsport and the city’s founding. Kingsport essentially started on the banks of the Holston River, and from the 1760s travelers came by wagon down the Island Road to the riverbank, where they built boats and migrated west.

Listed on the National Register of Historical Sites, Netherland Inn is the nation’s only registered historical site that was both a stage stop and boatyard.

Dobyns-Bennett 2009 Graduates Earn Record-Number of College Credits

KINGSPORT – Dobyns-Bennett High School students posted a record-number of college credits in 2009, saving parents at least $300,000 to $700,000 in college-tuition costs at in-state schools.

2009 Dobyns-Bennett graduates left high school last spring with an average of seven college credits earned per student. Forty-one students from the class of 2009 earned 20 or more college credits and nine earned 50 or more college credits during high school. One 2009 D-B graduate earned more than 70 college credits while in high school.

Approximately 242 students out of 402 seniors earned 2,799 college credit hours during the 2008-09 school year, an increase from 2,301 credits earned in 2008. Of those students who earned credit, each earned an average of 11.6 college credit hours. Credits can be earned in Advanced Placement classes, JumpStart Dual Enrollment classes with Northeast State Technical Community College, Career/Technical Articulation credits and Fast Track/Dual Credit offerings with Northeast State.

Of those students who earned college credit, 61% of credits were earned through the Advanced Placement program. The remaining credits were earned through dual enrollment and career tech/articulation agreements. At $107 per credit hour and additional enrollment fees, students attending Northeast State can save at least $400 per course by earning credits while in high school. Those cost savings are much larger for students attending a state college, private higher education institutions, or out-of-state schools.

“We believe that AP courses and dual-enrollment opportunities are critical to the success of students as they prepare for college,” said Superintendent Richard Kitzmiller. “While these courses are not required by the state, our high school has made a commitment to increasing the rigor for all students and to offer opportunities for students at all levels to earn college credit. These courses often cost extra to operate, but they result in substantial savings to parents and a better prepared workforce and a college-ready student population for our community.”

To earn college credits in Advanced Placement courses, students must score at least a 3 or above on the AP test in the subject area. Credits are earned based on varying college entrance requirements. Dobyns-Bennett offers 20 Advanced Placement courses, including Biology, Physics, Calculus, Statistics, Chemistry, Computer Science, English Literature and English Language, U.S. History, European History, French, German, Spanish, Latin, Government, Music Theory and Psychology.

JumpStart dual enrollment classes are taught by Northeast State instructors, but are offered on the Dobyns-Bennett High School campus. Those classes include six credit hours of college English, three credit hours of art history and a three-credit-hour philosophy class.

Articulation classes are offered on the campus of Dobyns-Bennett High School and are taught by D-B teachers. Students can receive credit for those classes at Northeast State. Those classes include Cisco Networking Fundamentals, Cisco Routing Fundamentals,
Information Technology, Principles of Business, Concepts of Computers & Applications and Introduction to Criminal Justice.

Fast Track courses are offered on campus at Northeast State and are available to high school students during the regular school day. Those courses include College Success, Introduction to Electricity, Mechanical Transmissions, General Psychology and Speech Communication.

For more information about college credit data, contact Dory Creech, KCS Director of Accountability at (423) 378-2125. To learn more about college credit courses or to enroll a student, contact the Dobyns-Bennett counseling office at (423) 378-8409.

Aug 13 - A Blizzard of Miracles for Children

DAIRY QUEENS THROUGHOUT NORTHEAST TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA ARE PARTICIPATING

The 13th day of August will be a day for digging into, not out of, Blizzards – with the celebration of Dairy Queen’s Miracle Treat Day.

And it will be a day for someone to win Bristol Motor Speedway race tickets, courtesy of Wellmont Health System’s Share Your Blizzard contest. And don’t worry: You won’t have to actually share your Blizzard treat – just capture it by photo or video and share it virtually on Wellmont’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/wellmont.

Dairy Queen will celebrate Miracle Treat Day Aug. 13, reprising a celebration that raised $4.5 million nationwide for Children’s Miracle Network last year. Wellmont Health System, the regional Children’s Miracle Network affiliate, is adding an extra ingredient to this region’s Blizzard celebration by capturing some of those Blizzard moments for posterity.

Miracle Treat Day is straightforward: If you buy a Blizzard treat on Aug. 13, Dairy Queen will contribute $1 or more to Children’s Miracle Network. Donations to Children’s Miracle Network help provide medical equipment, services and treatment for children’s care at 170 hospitals nationwide, including the hospitals of Wellmont, the regional Children’s Miracle Network affiliate.

The Wellmont Share Your Blizzard contest is simple, too. Entrants merely need to capture their Blizzard experience Aug. 13 by still camera or video camera and visit Wellmont’s Facebook page to upload an entry. Visitors to the Wellmont Facebook page must click the “Become a Fan” button prior to submitting an entry.

All Blizzard photos and videos uploaded on Aug. 13 will be featured at www.facebook.com/wellmont, and all entries will be entered into a drawing for free race tickets. Creativity – including friends, family members or props in your entry – is encouraged.

The winning entrant will receive tickets for four to the Food City 250 Aug. 21 – and four tickets will be given in the winner’s honor to a family that has benefited from Children’s Miracle Network.

Visitors to www.miracletreatday.com can read more about the event and even pledge in advance to buy a friend a Blizzard on Aug. 13

Kingsport girl needs a hand

Hi Jeff....wondering if you might be willing to help a Kingsport gal with a project? I was born and bred in Kingsport and am now living in Pennsylvania. I need a ton of support from my hometown to make a dream come true... I have been selected as 1 of only 10 worldwide Designer finalists for Kirkland's (home decor stores).

Here's where I need some help! The ten Designer finalists are in a heated voting competition to become one of the final five Designers for the http://www.mykirklands.com/ website. I need Kingsport's votes too! I'm hoping that you might be willing to post some info on this Kirkland's competition and help me win! Anything that you could do to help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Ask people to make sure and check their email in-box after they vote. They will need to open the Kirkland's email to validate their vote. Otherwise the vote will not count! Some of these Kirklands emails are getting caught in spam folders....people will need to check spam too!

Many thanks!

Kingsport sets third lowest tax rate in city history

KINGSPORT – Taxpayers in Kingsport are reaping the benefits of recent growth in the community, enabling the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to set the third lowest tax rate in city history.

With reappraisals recently completed in Sullivan County, the tax rate in Kingsport will be $1.94 per $100 of assessed value, with tax assessments only applied to 25 percent of the market rate for residential and 40 percent for commercial property.

In many states, it is not uncommon to see property taxes applied to 100 percent of assessed value.

“There are a couple of things in state law that continue to make Tennessee and our region an attractive place to invest and grow a business or buy a new home,” City Manager John Campbell said Wednesday. “First, under state law, in a reappraisal year by the county assessor, tax rates are equalized to limit revenues to approximately the same as in the previous year.”

“To change this rate requires a clear vote of the local governing body. It is also very important that a property is not taxed on its full value. Instead, it’s limited to the 25/40 ratio for residential and commercial properties.”

In cities that are located in two or more counties, the tax rate is also equalized between counties, accounting for different reappraisal cycles in different counties. As a result, Kingsport residents living in the Hawkins County portion of the city will see their 2010 property tax rate set at $2.24.

“We let the state handle those equalization calculations,” Campbell said. “But it is a very fair process that ensures each area is paying the equivalent, given differing property values and differing appraisal cycles that may see one portion of the city assessed at only 75 percent of current market value because that portion is in a different county.”

Overall, Mayor Dennis Phillips said he is pleased with the progress of the city on many fronts, noting key investments in residential and commercial construction, as well as higher education, which should help the community to grow over the long term.

“We looked this up and it is clear that the tax rate is the third lowest rate ever in the city, and that’s dating back to 1917,” Phillips said. “There are always naysayers out there, but we knew if we could get Kingsport moving on the residential and commercial fronts, and continue to develop a better educated workforce, we were going to see the kind of growth that keeps tax rates low for everyone.”

Under the new tax rate, a $175,000 home in the Sullivan County portion of Kingsport would be assessed $848.75 in annual city property taxes.

Your list of Kingsport favorites

Recently, I asked the question "What 3 independently-owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared?"

In no time, nearly 200 replies suggested almost 90 local businesses of all sorts and sizes. (The results are at the bottom of this email - sadly, some are already closed).

WJHL even did a story last week! (click below for video)

Learn more about this national movement:
www.the350project.net

For every $100 spent at locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community in taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that at a national chain, only $43 stays here.

Here are your local favorites. Now, let's all spend $50 (or more) each month locally and see what a difference we can make!
