Letter from the CEO
I
n the three decades I have been a part of the Cumberland Heights family, some things have stayed the same: The 12 Steps are the basis of all we do, the staff delivers loving care and the food is always great. However, as we evolve and grow, I have noticed a significant change in patients regarding their physical fitness. Exercise has become a key component of their overall healing. Both males and females are heading to the weight room and gym. So much so that we added an enormous curtain to the gym last summer, subdividing it into two so different groups can use it simultaneously. Patients and staff are also enjoying the new softball field constructed in 2012. It appears to be our own “field of dreams” nestled behind the tree line to the west of the campus. Hopefully we will soon see patient, staff and alumni games underway. One of the most recent additions to our sports landscape is a disc golf course. Said to be one of the best in the area, the course has been broken in by
groups of patients playing across the fields and woods during afternoons and weekends. Finally, our historic walking trail has been completely redeveloped thanks to our friends at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, whose engineers constructed the new layout, and Frank Chalfont and Color Burst Landscaping, who laid the new pathway while RCC Concrete is working on the bridges. When complete, there will be a onemile crushed stone trail surrounding the campus. We are truly blessed to be located on such a beautiful site, and it is heartwarming to see patients take advantage of it while on their road to recovery. If you haven’t been for a visit in a while, you may want to drop by and see all that’s happening.

Chapel Renovation Complete
T
he Paschall Davis Chapel has served as the cornerstone of the River Road campus for three decades. It’s been a place of worship for the recovery community, a place of solace for patients and the heartbeat of the campus. The chapel became so recognizable to patients, families and visitors that its bell has been used as a part of the Cumberland Heights logo since 1991.
In 2010, the Chapel Restoration Project was launched to raise funds to restore the aging chapel. Alumni, supporters and staff generously donated to renovate this popular campus attraction. “Every time I visit the campus chapel, I feel like I’ve come home,” says Cumberland Heights’ alumnus Laura F. The restoration project was completed in March 2013.
Help us cultivate a meditation garden outside the newly restored Paschall Davis Chapel Built in 1985, the chapel has been cherished by patients and visitors for years. Join our efforts to enhance the chapel grounds.

Archives Keep History Alive

Pontes’ House Re-dedicated
O
n a snowy Saturday in March, Cumberland Heights’ newly refurbished Pontes’ House was re-dedicated. Named in honor of Michael Pontes, the house was one of the first two buildings constructed after the original land and farmhouse were purchased in 1966. The houses have been home to thousands of men seeking recovery from addiction over the past 47 years. The Cal Turner Family Foundation funded the upgrades.

Virtuoso multi-instrumentalist Ricky Skaggs and celebrated musical clan The Whites and their families performed Christmas classics and holiday gems. Guests Emmylou Harris and Steven Curtis Chapman treated concert attendees to an early Christmas gift with their performances. “I did not know what to expect with a bluegrass Christmas,” says Robin L. “But I was blown away with the upbeat atmosphere. I couldn’t help but sing along.” The annual concert raises funds for the John Hiatt Fund for Adolescent Treatment at Cumberland Heights. The fund has helped provide facilities, programs and treatment for teens ages 14 to 18 who otherwise would not have the opportunity for recovery. Our thanks go to event chairs Parkes Owen and Austin Madison, who led a hard-working committee and produced the successful event.

In addition to a long list of sponsors, Cumberland Heights’ Fans of the Concert enjoyed a pre-concert party at the Downtown Hilton. The party, coordinated by Lauren Ross, featured a strolling dinner and live music. We are indebted to everyone who supported this event and made a difference in the lives of adolescents at Cumberland Heights.

Annual Women’s Luncheon Features News Anchor
T
his year’s women’s luncheon featured speaker and broadcast news journalist Laurie Dhue, the only television news anchor to host programs on all three major cable networks: CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. Proceeds from the luncheon benefit Cumberland Heights’ women’s programs. “Everyone has been affected by [the disease of addiction] in one way or another,” says event co-chair Jamie Granbery. “The women we are helping are mothers and daughters, sisters and aunts. They are someone’s family. Chairing this luncheon has made it possible to positively impact those families.”
“Laurie was inspirational,” says co-chair Jennie Garth Lovvorn Lowe. “Hearing about her journey reiterated for me the reasons I support Cumberland Heights.” Elizabeth Fox was recognized during the luncheon as the recipient of the Sheila Keeble Award, which honors a woman who has made a difference in the recovery community. Cumberland Heights CEO Jim Moore made the award presentation on behalf of the Keeble family.
Dhue spent eight years at Fox News, where she hosted her own weekend show and was a weekly contributor to “The O’Reilly Factor.” During her tenure at Fox, she reported extensively from the Middle East and served as the voice of the official launch of Fox News Radio, where she anchored evening news updates. She is now an online contributor to Glenn Beck’s new network, “The Blaze.”

Recreational facilities include a gymnasium with a fullsize basketball court, climbing wall, high and low ropes course, 12-hole disc golf course, a one-mile walking trail, a baseball diamond, and a workout room.
Research supports the concept that people with active, satisfying lifestyles will be happier and healthier. “Working out with Graham has been absolutely essential in helping me improve my physical condition,” says therapy participant Sarah E. “Climbing the pole or rock wall gave me a tangible challenge and allowed me to visualize where I was getting stuck. It motivated me more than anything to get up there and try again.”

The Labyrinth at Cumberland Heights he labyrinth at Cumberland Heights was created in 2005 to assist in meditation and contemplation. Walking the labyrinth slows the pace of mind and body.
T
In a labyrinth, there are no wrong turns. These symbolic paths invite us on a journey of presence and meditation and help us discover something about the spirit and the self.
The first labyrinths were found in Greek, Mayan, Celtic and American-Indian cultures. Later versions were found in gothic cathedrals. Unlike a maze, which contains many paths designed to confuse, labyrinths consist of a single path that winds into and out of the center.
There are many different labyrinth designs in varying cultures and in religious traditions. The labyrinth at Cumberland Heights is a replica of one at the Chartres Cathedral in France, where the year 1201 is inlaid in the stone floor.

The Game of Life By Reverend Carrie Fraser, Director of Pastoral Care Services
Life is not a spectator sport.
Carrie Fraser
This saying originally came from baseball legend Jackie Robinson. In 1948, Robinson had a strong season but continued to work on his batting skills. He spent hours at the batting tee, learning to hit the ball to the right field and to check his swing until the last fraction of a second. His hard work paid off, and he earned the National League’s Most Valuable Player award in 1949. The saying can also reflect where recovery can lead people. Active addiction creates a life of isolation, worlds become smaller and life becomes empty. When recovery is embraced, life is full of new discoveries and experiences. We can discover the gifts in recovery when we are willing to become active and engaged in life. Life has so much to teach us when we are bold enough to venture into unchartered territory and willing to feel the excitement of trying something new. When we take positive actions in our lives, The more times you go up to we experience growth. We’re often creatures of habit and bat, the easier it becomes. when we get comfortable doing something, we tend to stay put. Many of us have times in our lives when we fall into the spectator role unintentionally, but one of the consequences of remaining there is that it becomes a habit, a way of life. Recovery allows us to grab some real life and enjoy it.
[
]
We need to continue to actively participate in the game of life. The more we engage in life and the promises of recovery, the more opportunities we have to experience greater joy and happiness. The more times you go up to bat, the easier it becomes, and your chances for rich experiences and happiness improve. A swing and a miss is better than no swing at all, because at least you are in the game of life.

It Pays To Discover By Cayce Leon, Cumberland Heights Alumni Association President
G
ather around the table with family at Thanksgiving. Comfort and joy at Christmas. Auld Lang Syne for New Year’s. For many of us, the holidays were more like hol-i-daze with Wild Turkey at Thanksgiving, Southern Comfort at Christmas and trying not to black out before the ball dropped on New Year’s Eve. Our addictions fueled family arguments and we resolved to clean up our act, for somewhere deep down inside, we yearned for the ideal of the holidays. Whatever our idea of the perfect holiday might be, we all just want to be loved. We need to know that we have made an impact on someone’s life and that we’re fundamentally okay. Back in October, Alumni Association board members brainstormed ideas for Christmas presents for patients. What would a patient in a treatment center want for Christmas? Some presents would indeed be nice, but being around family would be ideal. In the treatment rooms we constantly hear “let us love you until you can love yourself.” So we planned the Christmas party around family traditions of decorating and lighting the tree together and singing favorite carols. “Let us be your family” became our theme. No matter what time of year it is, an alumnus’s best gift to a patient is love and understanding. We give of our hearts, for after all, we must first give to receive.
Here are a few ways you can be of service: Friday Night Crossover Crossover meets every Friday night at Cayce Leon 7:45 p.m. in the main dining hall. Share your experience, strength and hope with current patients as they learn to transition into real world sobriety. We offer FREE childcare and a family meeting. The family meeting is open to anyone in the recovery community who is working on their own recovery and not just for families of current patients. Similar to what you might find in an outside Al-Anon meeting, the place to begin recovery from addiction in the family is with yourself. Saturday Night Transitions Transitions meets every Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. in the main dining hall. This is an intimate sharing of how we live our lives through spiritual principles. We all know what gratitude, honesty, integrity, willingness and other principles mean, but how do we live them? It starts with openness. If you’re interested in other service opportunities, contact me at
[email protected] or visit our website for upcoming events at www.alumnich.org. Reach out and uncover the possibilities. It pays to discover.

Jeff’s Story
M
y name is Jeff, and I am an addict. Today the difference is that I am no longer using. I took my first drug at the age of 11 or 12. I started using because all my friends were and at the time I didn’t understand what would happen if I became a drug addict. By the time I was 16 I had alcohol poisoning twice, my family was falling apart and my grades were very poor. Shortly after I turned 18, I came to the Cumberland Heights Youth Program. When I arrived, I was a scared boy who knew nothing about life, relationships, responsibility or how to be happy. During my stay, I found a path that led me to these things. They were very patient with me. During family week, my family and I got the opportunity to work through all the chaos I caused in my addiction and got to have a blank slate for us to start on in my recovery. At Cumberland Heights, I learned about meetings and the 12 Steps. When I left Cumberland Heights, I did the things they taught me to do: 12-Step meetings, get a sponsor, work my steps with that sponsor and do service work. Since that time, many amazing things have happened in my life. I have been clean for 6½ years, finished college with honors, got to build an amazing relationship with my mother before she passed away and currently have a beautiful relationship with the rest of my family. Cumberland Heights is responsible for getting me on the path that made all these things possible in my life. Without Cumberland Heights, I would not be where I am today: happy and enjoying life.

What the 2012 Taxpayer Relief Act Means for You By Edwin S. Pyle, Attorney, Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs LLP
I
n a reprise of last-minute tax fixes at the end of 2010, Congress has again addressed many important income, estate and gift tax provisions of federal law that many had feared would expire with 2012. While there are many important pieces of that very recent legislation, this article focuses on the continuation and restoration of rules governing the use of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) in charitable giving. For several years, federal tax rules allowed individuals age 70½ and older to transfer up to $100,000 from an IRA directly to a qualified public charity. The transfer did not have to be treated first as a distribution and then as a charitable contribution, and was subject to a labyrinth of limitations and provisions governing charitable contributions. Those rules also allowed the IRA account owner to count such a direct transfer to charity against his or her required minimum distribution from the IRA for the year. However, those IRA provisions expired at the end of 2011 and, with the status of the tax laws and so many other fiscal cliff issues up in the air in 2012, it was not at all certain that any relief would become available. While still not a permanent part of federal tax rules, the new American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which became law when it was signed in 2013, has for the moment resurrected favorable treatment of direct charitable transfers. This means that transfers to qualified public charities, such as Cumberland Heights, can again be made directly from IRAs with the same favorable
federal income tax treatment that was available previously. Moreover, the Act also permits certain distributions that were made in December 2012, as well as direct transfers from an IRA to charity made in January 2013, to be treated as if they had been made in 2012 at the taxpayer’s election. Consult your tax advisor if this is of interest. If you transferred from an IRA to a charity in January 2013, it’s treated as
endowment society of
having been made in 2012, and is so treated for all purposes. Accordingly, that distribution will not be counted toward any required minimum distribution obligation for 2013. If you’re interested in making a transfer directly to Cumberland Heights from your IRA, contact Martha Farabee at Cumberland Heights at 615.432.3226 for assistance.

Those words have been the driving force behind Kennedy’s almost full-time dedication to the Patient Assistance Fund at Cumberland Heights. “If a deserving patient who wants to get into recovery and stay in recovery is out of insurance and any other funding, I want to make sure the fund is there to help,” says Kennedy.
