Agreement Offers Culinary Students Real World FineDining Experience Through Skoby’s RestaurantPhoto Courtesy of The Kingsport Times NewsA unique philanthropic gesture by restaurant owner Pal Barger (pictured center above) will assurea new generation of culinary experts. On August 10, <strong>2004</strong> Barger announced that his legendarySkoby’s Restaurant in Kingsport would be donated to <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s successfulCulinary Arts Program.“Skoby’s has been a shining star of fine dining in our region for generations,” explained Barger.“It is only fitting that this legendary establishment of fine dining now be dedicated to the next generationof great chefs and restaurateurs.” The culinary arts program at <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong> isone of the fastest growing in the country. The school initially offered an Associate of Science Degree.Now students can also obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree and can choose from concentrations inCulinary Arts, Pastry Arts or Restaurant Management. Students gain hands-on experience from theexpertise and training of esteemed chefs and educators.“When we first started the program two years ago we anticipated drawing 15 students,” saidDr. Michael Puglisi, Provost at <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong>. “Upon the inception of the program we had 50students registered. This past year we graduated our first group of students with Associate of Sciencedegrees, and anticipate 70 - 75 students to be enrolled in the culinary program this fall. Skoby’s providesus with another opportunity for our students to gain experience and grow within the industry.”“<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong> is dedicated to creating futures for tomorrow’s leaders by providingstrong career preparation in a very personal, supportive learning environment,” added President of<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong> Dr. Stephen Greiner. “By offering our students real world experience ina commercial fine dining environment there is tremendous value. They will be ready to apply whatthey’ve learned as restaurant veterans. The community and corporate citizens have played an integralpart in the success of our culinary program. This is a wonderful example of corporate citizensinvesting in the future of our community and the future success of its students.”Skoby’s long list of accolades was recently capped by Southern Living magazine’s designation asone of its editorial staff’s favorite finds in the South. The restaurant has become a landmark withinthe region and was the genesis for the nation’s only food service company to earn the U.S. CommerceDepartment’s Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award.“Many of the ideas on customer service and food quality born at Skoby’s grew at my Pal’s SuddenService restaurants,” said Barger. “I’m proud of the success of our Pal’s restaurants and equallyproud of the heritage of quality we are handing to the culinary students of <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong>.”<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong>’s culinary program already successfully operates the Red Blanket Bakery andCafé, and manages the food services and special events at Glenrochie Country Club in Abingdon,Va., among others. (Catering services will initially be offered from the culinary program to the publicfrom the Skoby’s location.) Future plans may include a return of Skoby’s as a fine dining destinationfor the region. Classes will begin there in January 2005.Skoby’s began on Fort Henry Drive in Kingsport, Tenn. in 1946 as a curbside service restaurant andremained there until 1948. Owned and operated by Fred and Helen Barger, Pal’s parents, the restaurantderived its name from their nickname for one another.The restaurant moved to its location on Konnarock Road and in 1950, the curbside service conceptevolved into a small seating restaurant. The limited menu changed to include steak dinners andother award-winning delicacies that gained notoriety throughout the South. The New Orleans façadeexterior and unique décor inside the restaurant added to its legacy and allure.“My parents loved each other greatly from childhood and called one another Skoby. This greatrestaurant was built upon their love and passion for people,” recalled Pal Barger. “Our organizationis proud to present <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> with the keys to this great legacy and give back to the community,”concluded Barger.

Equestrian Excellence: Bringing HomeNational ChampionshipsIt all began in the 1970s—a decade for change. Equipped with only a barn and a vision,<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong> unveiled an unusual new program for its academic and athletic ventures.Equine Studies was introduced at <strong>Intermont</strong> in 1972, and it has been running strong ever since. Whoever heard of studying horses? Ask that question to the more than 160 students who travel acrossthe country (and even the world) every year just for the chance to be a part of VIC’s nationallyacclaimed equestrian program. They have helped make the equine experience more than just a meremajor or sport at VIC, but a way of life. And they have taken that way of life and made it a regionaland national phenomenon in the collegiate equestrian world. Every year, VIC assembles four topequine teams (IHSA, ANRC, IDA, and ISRA). And each year over the past three decades, theseteams have delivered. With more than 12 national individual champions and a score of regionalchampionships between them, the assorted teams have stamped VIC’s name with a vengeance onthe national circuit. However, despite their successes, the big prize (a national team championship)has remained elusive. “Maybe next year,” they would say with a smile. Well, “next year” is now….On April 9, the <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> ANRC (Affiliated National Riding Commission) teamkicked off what was to be a memorable postseason run for the equine program. For the ANRCNational Championships,each participating school sentfour top riders to competeas a team in Sweet Briar,<strong>Virginia</strong>. During the first day,competitors memorized andcompleted a dressage sportiff.Then, on the second day ofcompetitions, each rider had toconquer both an outdoor courseand a challenging hunter seatequitation course. The ANRC’ssystematic and contemporaryPhoto used with permission of www.acphotovideo.com© <strong>2004</strong>approach to riding pushed every competitor to perform at top level, including VIC team membersErika Jewell, Morgan Graber, Siobhan Fitzgerald, and senior Angee Quattro. After all was said anddone, the VIC program stocked its trophy case with a first-ever National title. But the mantle wasn’tquite filled yet.The following week, the Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA) Nationals kicked offat Cazenovia <strong>College</strong> in Syracuse, N.Y. TheIDA team came into the competition fresh offa highly successful 7-win season in regionalshows. Their skills had also propelled themto a regional championship. At Nationals,the Cobra riders put forth a strong showing,finishing in a solid third place. But the truestar of the competition was <strong>Intermont</strong>’sown high score rider Becky Ratte, who wascrowned Individual Upper Training NationalChampion.Would the <strong>Intermont</strong> IntercollegiateHorse Show Association (ISHA) squad beable to cap off the equestrian program’s mostPhoto courtesy of www.ragsdigital.com© <strong>2004</strong>


successful season in grand fashion? With a 5 th Region 3 Zone 4 Regional Team Championship, arecord six individual regional crowns, and a Tournament of Champions Series victory under their belt,the forecast looked promising. (The individual champions included Taylor Barlass, Kim Butterbaugh,Sonnie Ingalls, Erika Jewell, Jen Parshall, and Jen Tabisz). “I have been coaching the <strong>Virginia</strong><strong>Intermont</strong> IHSA team for almost ten years, and have never experienced a day like this,” said IHSAcoach and Equine Studies Director Eddie Federwisch of his team’s impressive regional showingson April 2. For the first time ever, VIC captured the Zone 4 Championship ensuring a sixth trip toNationals. Let the numbers speak for themselves:Walk-Trot-Canter Equitation1 st – Rachel Ellis – <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong>Intermediate Equitation on the Flat1 st – Jennifer Tabisz – <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong>Intermediate Equitation over Fences1 st – Kimberly Hezzlewood – <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong>Open Equitation over Fences3rd - Erika Jewell - <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong>Novice Equitation on the Flat5th - Nora Harris - <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong>And, last but not least….<strong>2004</strong> IHSA Collegiate Cup National Champions<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong>On their path to the championship, the Cobras defeated top riding schools in the country,including University of Findlay-Ohio, Texas A&M University and Penn State University. In addition,Erika Jewell placed eighth in Cacchione Cup, an award given to the top rider at nationals. Overall,the team—consisting of Jewell,Hezzlwood, Tabisz, Ellis, Brad Allan,Nora Harris, and Christine Shank—put adefinitive exclamation point on thepostseason.Perhaps Coach Federwischsummed up this most memorableseason best: “These wins truly secure<strong>Intermont</strong>’s spot as one of the topEquine schools in the country. Very fewschools have ever won the ANRC andIHSA titles in the same year. We setPhoto used with permission of www.acphotovideo.com© <strong>2004</strong>goals as a team, but this is greater thanour wildest dreams!”These accomplishments were made through the efforts of all members of the <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong>Equestrian Teams: Audra Adams, Brad Allen, Lauren Anderson, Keith Andrews, Johnna Applegate, JenniferArcher, Jessica Artrip, Taylor Barlass, Ashley Baur, Jennifer Benoit, Kaylin Besmer, Emily Billey, EmilyBlodgett, Crystal Bohnen, Jamie Brabon, Robin Brooks, Tracy Brownell, Lindsay Buck, Kimberly Butterbaugh,Elizabeth Call, Breann Cecil, Kimbrough Charbonneau, R.

Athletic NewsNew Beginnings, New Faces for <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> AthleticsAscencioDickensJoslinConnairSimmons<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> athletics will be undergoing a “facelift” this fall. When the schoolopened its doors this fall to new students, it also welcomed fresh faces to the Cobra coaching staff.After the successful launch of five new sports teams last year, the athletic department will continuethe air of positive change revitalizing the campus.VIC’s championship tennis teams will display the most change, as Jacklyn Dickens andJorge Ascencio assume head coaching responsibilities for the women’s and men’s teams. Dickens,a 1999 graduate of Emory & Henry <strong>College</strong>, arrives at VIC after a successful stint as Head TennisCoach at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va. The former tennis and basketball star willpull double duty as Head Women’s Tennis Coach and Assistant Women’s Basketball Coach for theCobras. As for the men’s team, they will be guided by a familiar face when Jorge Ascencio takesover the team reigns. Opponents will likely remember Ascencio’s own prowess with the tennisracket. The former team captain captured AAC Player of the Year, NAIA Region XII Player of theYear, and NAIA First-Team All-American honors during his storied career at VIC, powering theteam to an AAC championship and a #7 national ranking last year. Ascencio is no stranger to thenational scene as he was also ranked first in singles and second in doubles during his college tenure.Now, Ascencio will channel that talent into coaching skill. Another familiar face for VIC tennis,former AAC Coach of the Year and Women’s Head Coach Mary Lou Smith, will now serve asTennis Coordinator. Smith brings more than 47 years of experience to the program.VIC soccer will also undergo some changes. The Women’s soccer team will gain anAssistant Coach in the form of Allister Joslin. Joslin’s credits include coaching experience atThomas University in Georgia and a one-year excursion in the UK as team member for StevenageBorough. Joslin will accompany Head Coach Michael Swan in leading the 2003 AAC runners-up intheir quest for the championship.Every team will benefit from the addition of new Strength & Conditioning coach RoxanneConnair, who will also serve as the Assistant Volleyball Coach. <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> is excited tooffer this newest advantage to its athletes. Connair recently graduated from ETSU with a Master’sdegree in Physical Education. She offers a wealth of experience, including her own successfulvolleyball career, coaching duties for various youth organizations, and an internship with the UnitedStates Olympic Committee. Connair will join <strong>Intermont</strong> Head Volleyball Coach Dale Martin in theprogram’s sophomore season.Also in their sophomore season, the VIC cross-country and track & field programs willdebut a new leader in Scott Simmons. After an impressive first season, which gained nationalattention with freshman Junie Oscar’s fifth place finish in the 400m, Simmons is equipped to leadthe program to new heights. Simmons brings a wealth of experience and credentials to the position:2002 and 2003 NAIA National Cross-Country Coach of the Year as coach of national championsMinot State University, two-time USA national team coach (training Olympians such as DaveDavis, Tony Cosey, and Ray Hughes), technical specialist for 1996 summer Olympic games, andmuch more. Simmons has paved a path of success for the past 14 years, coaching 12 Conferencechampionship teams and more than 70 All-Americans.


Alumni HighlightHave you ever wondered if your dream job could truly makeyou happy? Have you ever wondered what it would be like totravel the world, doing what you love to do? Have you everwondered how it would feel if all those people who taught you asa young adult sought out your opinions and your talent?...Just ask<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong> alumna Mary Jane Miller, ‘70.Mary Jane is one of the region’s premier interior designers.The successful New York native opened her own business in1981, shortly after serving as <strong>Intermont</strong>’s Director of Internships.She has been involved in diverse projects across the countryincluding banks, law offices, residences, and Abingdon’s BarterTheatre. The artistic alumna has also used her many talents toenhance projects for her alma mater. The thousands who haveenjoyed an event in Harrison Jones Memorial Hall, gathered inthe Mary Davis Room, or enjoyed a leisurely conversation in the ornate reds, whites, and blues ofthe Admissions Parlors can thank Mary Jane for her creative and elegant contributions.Mary Jane’s trek to the region (andto her eventual career) reads like destiny. Asa young girl, Mary Jane assisted with thecare of her mother. “We moved many times,and the houses needed special attention,” thedesigner remembers. The family would hirean interior designer, and the work alwaysfascinated her. “I found myself helping outmore and more,” she says. Eventually, MaryJane would collaborate on four differentprojects with her family’s designer, and thespark was born.“I really enjoyed my time at <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong>,” she recalls, with a hint of nostalgiatinting her voice. “We had a wonderful staff, and I absolutely loved the Humanities Series with allof the cultural events and big-name speakers.” She graduated in 1970 with a specialty in Retailingand Merchandising. Following her graduation from VIC in 1970, Mary Jane pursued hernewfound passion at the New York School of Interior Design. She returned to VIC a decade laterto continue her studies. Mary Jane credits VIC with helping her open a new business in grandfashion. She used a school project (a business plan detailing the opening of a new store) from herretailing class as a blueprint for her own business, “Along Came Mary.”The successful and thriving design business is a full-service Mecca for the design enthusiast,offering everything from fabric to furniture to carpets. Mary Jane began her business with asimple motto that she lives by: “Celebrating the Individual.” She names personal residences as herfavorite design projects because they allow her an opportunity to capture an individual’s essencein concrete form. “I firmly believe that a person’s home should reflect and celebrate their personality,”she affirms. “The most rewarding part of my job is working with so many people with differentpersonalities. When you work with someone’s personal possessions, it gives you such insightinto that person.”The melting pot of personalities and preferences Mary Jane has encountered keepsher creative juices flowing. But despite the energetic and diverse pace of life her chosen careerrequires, the enterprising entrepreneur keeps herself grounded with two simple factors in mind:quality and detail. If she can reflect a client’s personal style, she considers it a job well done.“Even if they like browns and greens,” she cringes with a smile.As for what this alumna enjoys doing in her spare time: “What spare time?” she asks jokingly.When she does find a spare moment, MaryJane loves attending antique auctions, tending toher Oriental garden, and - inevitable for such arestless spirit...traveling the world. She countsItaly and Beijing among her favorite destinations.“It’s like stepping back in time.”Mary Jane’s experiences at <strong>Virginia</strong><strong>Intermont</strong> have certainly helped shape her career.She has truly enjoyed being able to be a part ofthe many renovation projects at VIC. In fact, sheis always thinking of new ways to enhance the<strong>College</strong>. Through Mary Jane’s work her spiritbrightens the Virgina <strong>Intermont</strong> campus.

<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong><strong>College</strong>List of Donors(2003-04)A History LessonWhile it is common knowledge to VIC alumni and students that the name <strong>Intermont</strong>means “among the mountains,” few people know how this word came to be the name of ourbeloved school. For this name, the school owes Samuel W. Edmondson, a former faculty member.But long before Edmondson proposed the name “<strong>Intermont</strong>,” the name went through an evolutionof sorts.Founded in 1884, by Reverend J.R. Harrison, the original name of <strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong><strong>College</strong> was “The Southwest <strong>Virginia</strong> Female Institute.” The original location of the college wasin Glade Spring, Va., and its first president was Allison Hutton. Under his leadership in 1886, acharter was granted to the college and the name was shortened to “Southwest <strong>Virginia</strong> Institute.”A few years and presidents later, the school began to outgrow its facilities and moved to its presentlocation on Moore Street in Bristol, Va. in 1891.Shortly after moving to Bristol, a committee of Bristol Baptists formed a corporation withthe official purpose of purchasing the college. Under the leadership of this corporation, the name ofthe college endured another shortening to “<strong>Virginia</strong> Institute.” During this time, the college becamewell known throughout the region by the initials “V.I.”The corporation was also responsible for choosing a new president for the school andoffered the position to Dr. John T. Henderson of Jefferson City, Tenn. Dr. Henderson was theoriginator of the plan to change the school from an institute to a college. In 1910, he employed hisfaculty, including Edmondson, to suggest new names for the school.At this time, Edmondson was traveling throughout Southwest <strong>Virginia</strong> recruiting studentsfor the college. He happened upon a road-sign reading “<strong>Intermont</strong>,” which he immediatelythought would make a nice name for the new college. After pondering the best use of the word,Edmondson settled upon “<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong>,” as it perfectly described the location of the collegeand it preserved the use of the initials “V.I.” Edmondson suggested this new name, “<strong>Virginia</strong><strong>Intermont</strong> <strong>College</strong>” at the next faculty meeting and it was unanimously adopted.Edmondson was a faculty member at <strong>Intermont</strong> until his death in 1953. He taught Latinand Chemistry. His daughter, Helen Edmondson Harris, who graduated in1951, currently livesin Glade Spring, Va. Much thanks to her for providing these interesting historical facts about thecollege.

She enteredthe male-dominated insurance business as one of the first women in Bristol to work as a licensedagent. She served clients well for more than half a century.She also has given exemplary service to<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong>. After graduation, she becamea member of the Alumni Board, a Class Agent,a leader of generous giving and a member ofthe Board of Trustees. She remains very activein those endeavors and also serves First BaptistChurch and many other community organizations.Thankfully, retirement from the insurancebusiness means Mary has more time to spend onher good works, including campus beautification at<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Intermont</strong>. She and fellow trustee, SusanLapis (pictured here) have spent considerable timethis summer staining woodwork in Main Hall. Theresults are beautiful and the work was inspiring toeveryone on campus.Mary has established a new office for hercharitable work and can be reached at P.O.
