CRUISES O
A History of Innovation Since the line’s beginnings, Princess has frequently paved the way in the cruise industry, evolving to meet the needs of the today’s vacationer. In fact, a number of Princess concepts have since been adopted by the entire cruise industry. The company has long been the leader
service levels for more than a decade, making it the longest running such program in the industry. This guiding philosophy defines the Princess onboard experience and includes a variety of programs to make sure that onboard staff members work in unison to serve passengers and provide a remarkable cruise experience.
Worldwide Destinations
in building ships specifically designed to accommodate an extensive number of the most sought-after shipboard luxury – the private balcony. In the 1980s, Princess pioneered the concept of the affordable veranda, once an exclusive feature incorporated in only the most expensive suites. Today Princess’ fleet offers one of the highest percentages of balcony cabins in the industry across all cabin categories. In the mid-1990s, the company pioneered the concept of putting passengers in control of their own cruise experience with the introduction of a wide range of flexible onboard facilities, amenities, and services in order to create a personal vacation experience. The company also pioneered 24-hour dining with the first ‘round-the-clock restaurant. Dining options were further revolutionized in 2001 as Princess became the first cruise line to offer passengers a choice in their main dining room experience – either the traditional seating or a restaurant-style Anytime Dining, in which diners could eat when and with whom they chose.
Some other Princess innovations throughout the years include the first wedding chapel hosting modern-day weddings at sea, the unique Times Square-style Movies Under the Stars poolside movie screen, and The Sanctuary, an adults-only oasis that has become exceedingly popular with passengers looking to relax.
A Consummate Host No matter where Princess ships sail, passengers enjoy warm and gracious service in an atmosphere of comfortable elegance. Princess crew members are dedicated to providing exceptional service to ensure guests can escape the everyday with an unforgettable vacation. Public spaces on Princess ships are designed to feel intimate, even on the largest vessels, and feature contemporary décor, allowing passengers to enjoy themselves in an informal, relaxed onboard atmosphere that mirrors today’s lifestyles. Princess Cruises customer service training program has worked to ensure superior
More than 150 different itineraries offer travelers the opportunity to literally cover the globe, with sailings to six continents that call at more than 300 ports and destinations around the world. Destinations include the Caribbean, Alaska, Panama Canal, Europe, Mexico, South America, Australia/New Zealand, South Pacific, Hawaii, Tahiti/French Polynesia, Asia, India, Africa, Canada/New England, and world cruises. Princess passengers can enhance their cruise experience with a wide array of in-port excursions worldwide, and the company’s cruisetour offerings enable passengers to combine their cruise with a full land tour. In particular, having led the way in Gulf of Alaska cruising, Princess maintains a strong presence in the 49th state. Through its Seattle-based Princess Tours division, the company operates a wide variety of spectacular land and sea experiences in the majestic “Land of the Midnight Sun.” The largest cruise and tour operator in the state, Princess operates as many as eight cruise ships, five riverside wilderness lodges, a fleet of deluxe motor coaches, (continued on page 2A)

ne of the best-known names in cruising, Princess Cruises, first set sail in 1965 with a single ship cruising to Mexico. Today the line has grown to become the third largest cruise line in the world, renowned for innovative ships, an array of onboard options, and an environment of exceptional customer service. A recognized leader in worldwide cruising, Princess offers approximately 1.7 million passengers each year the opportunity to escape to the top destinations around the globe aboard a fleet of 18 modern vessels. Princess Cruises was catapulted to stardom in 1977 when one of its ships, Pacific Princess, was cast in a starring role on a new television show called “The Love Boat.” The weekly series, which introduced millions of viewers to the concept of a sea-going vacation, was an instant hit, and both the company name and its “seawitch” logo have remained synonymous with cruising ever since. The show, which can still be seen around the world, has been widely credited with fueling the dramatic expansion of the industry.

and luxury domed rail cars, which provide easy access to Alaska’s interior with the line’s unique “Direct to the Wilderness” service. As a result, Princess passengers can connect seamlessly between cruise ship and a land tour, giving them the opportunity to experience Alaska’s most popular attractions in a single vacation.

The most recent additions to the fleet, Regal Princess and Royal Princess, introduced a new generation of ships to the fleet in 2013 and 2014. The ships feature a 50% larger atrium, which is the social hub of the ship;
a dramatic over-water SeaWalk, a top-deck glass-bottomed walkway extending more than 28 feet beyond the edge of the vessel; plush private poolside cabanas that appear to be floating on the water; a dazzling water and light show; the new Princess Live! television studio; a dedicated pastry shop; more dining options including a special Chef’s Table Lumiere, a private space that surrounds diners in a curtain of light; and balconies on all outside staterooms.

mericans have discovered a variety of innovative ways to update their homes without the added cost, inconvenience, or mess of a major renovation. By updating lighting, cabinet drawer pulls and door handles, new window treatments, and a thorough cleaning and painting, you can create that showcase look you’ve been dreaming of – without the cost. Another way to achieve that updated look is to add a new accent chair, sofa or loveseat, dining table, art, décor, or perhaps an Oriental rug. Thanks to Premiere Consignment in nearby and convenient Tellico Village, you’ll discover many of the items you’re looking for at incredible savings. One of the most important features of being located within the heart of the Tellico Lake area is the opportunity to secure furniture, art, home décor items, and Oriental rugs from many of the area’s most luxurious homes. Also, because most of our consignors have relocated to communities such as Tellico Village and Rarity Bay from all across the country, we are able to offer you a large selection of items purchased by these same homeowners from all across the nation. Perhaps that’s
why we are frequented by many of the area’s interior designers and decorators. Currently we have an excellent collection of dining room furniture, sofas, loveseats, and recliners. You will also discover Oriental rugs, lighting, home décor, art items, and florals from our resident floral designer. Another feature that’s popular with both our consignors and retail customers is how quickly we’re able to turn our inventory. Customers appreciate it because the selection is greater, and consignors appreciate it because we don’t accept items for resale that are placed in storage indefinitely, awaiting placement in our retail showroom. Whether you’re contemplating a home update or if you have some gently used furniture, art, décor, or Oriental rugs you no longer use, you’ll find Premiere Consignment the perfect solution. Also, don’t forget our online store powered by eBay, where we have successfully sold many thousands of items for our customers.

I
From the Publisher
just love the fall season and especially welcome autumn this year after all the very hot weather we had this summer. Autumn temperatures are cooler, which makes for pleasant days outdoors. As we enter the start of autumn, I look at my list of things I want to accomplish both indoors and outdoors before the holidays set in. Tom and I are DIYers and have worked on a lot of renovation projects for both our own home and for our rental homes. This year we had no shortage of projects to tackle. And in tackling a project, I am reminded of when I was growing up and my parents built their first (and only) home. It was an exciting time for the whole family. We each had a job to do, and we worked hard at that job. Those work habits served me well in tackling our own projects now. If you are looking to do some renovation or updating of your home before the holidays, you need to check out all the great advertisers we highlight each month. All these advertisers have been inspiration for me with ideas to make a home holiday ready. And we have advertisers that can help make yourself holiday ready with personal care treatments, clothing, shoes, accessories, and more, which will make you the center of attention at your next event. Autumn is a beautiful season in East Tennessee with the changing colors of the foliage, especially in the Smoky Mountains. And the temperatures are just right for tackling projects or, better yet, to enjoy a festival or a UT football game! Go Vols and happy autumn!

Amish Excellence: The Best Decision A ngie Carroll is a business management career professional and comes from a corporate background in healthcare human resources administration. However, her true passion for creativity, beauty, design, and helping others led her to open Amish Excellence in April 2016. “The opportunity to blend a business background and love for making homes more beautiful was the best career decision I ever made,” said Angie. “I believe beautiful surroundings and inspiring relationships lift the spirit and punctuate true happiness within.” Listening to the customer and learning about their needs and preferences is the key to guiding their design options and selections. Providing information and education about the furniture, wood selections, fabrics, and finishes helps the customers make the best decisions about their investments. It isn’t just about selling furniture. Amish
Excellence provides the absolute best value in custom, hand-crafted, all American furniture made by highly skilled craftsmen. Why is choosing Amish made furniture the best decision? The Amish begin learning their craft at a very early age with operations ranging in size from a single individual to a father and his sons, to a number of men and
women from the local community. Each family tends to specialize in a particular kind of furniture, perhaps dining tables, living room chairs, office furniture, or beds. This specialization allows them to master their techniques, as well as keep costs down. The Amish do not normally engage in retail trade due to their religious and community convictions; therefore, they depend on retailers such as Amish Excellence to bring their products to the public. Amish Excellence has developed relationships and works directly with about 50 different Amish families who build their furniture. When you compare the quality and price of the furniture they offer with what is available at other furniture retailers, they’re confident you’ll discover the exceptional value of their Amish made furniture. The Amish build furniture that will last multiple lifetimes. Top quality solid hardwoods like oak, maple, and cherry are used for every part of every piece. Time-tested joinery techniques like mortise and tenon and dovetailing, along with high-tech glues and screws, lead to the most solid, wear-resistant furniture available. Wood surfaces are sealed and protected with high-quality catalytic varnish that dries to form a hard, heat-resistant barrier against scratches, liquids, and other day-to-day hazards. When you buy furniture made by Amish builders, you not only receive beautiful heirloom quality pieces for your home, but you also support real families and contribute to a wholesome way of life. The Amish structure their lives around a set of core values: Faith, family, community, hard work, peace, simplicity, and stewardship of the land. Amish Excellence is proud to support these faithful people and invites you to join them in that support. Visit their showroom at 613 N. Campbell Station Road (behind Walgreens) or view their sampler catalog at www. amishexcellence.com. Hours are Monday through Friday 10-6 and Saturday 10-4. Extended hours and in-home consultations are available by appointment. Amish Excellence 613 N. Campbell Station Road Knoxville, TN 37934 865-392-6000 www.amishexcellence.com Mon-Fri 10-6, Sat 10-4

Tom Kelly Briefs American Legion Post 256 on the History of the “Dragon Lady,” Lockheed U-2 Spy Plane
F
By James Patterson
ellow American Legionnaire, Tom “TK” Kelly, has had an extensive military and defense related background in positions like Chief of Engineering and later the Director of the U-2 Program at Warner Robins ALC. He had more than 10 years of assignments in the Pentagon, completing his career as one of the Air Force Chief of Staff’s (CSAF)
four joint planners. TK was a Joint Specialty Officer with staff tours in NATO and JCS. As director of the legendary surveillance plane nicknamed “Dragon Lady,” TK explained, “It is an aircraft that has served the United States Air Force for more than 50 years and is one of the few planes to operate during the Cold War. Photo by James Patterson It’s still remaining in operation today thanks to a completely new and redesigned airframe built in
the 1980s.” The manned aircraft can fly for 12 hours at 70,000 feet – twice the altitude of a commercial plane – reaching speeds of more than 475 mph. “It’s a fragile, hard-to-maneuver beast, but it still flies plenty of missions because of its incredible technological and operational capabilities,” said TK, having piloted the U-2 himself. “The U-2’s abilities today are enabling missions from natural disaster support to intelligence gathering.” For more information about the American Legion, visit the Post 256 website at www.tellicolakepost256.org.

ummertime often presents a number of challenges when it comes to the maintenance of your hair. These challenges can be exacerbated by the lifestyles of people who live in lake and golf communities. If you happen to find yourself in any of the following categories, maybe some of these hints will help. Few things are as enjoyable as a nice day on the lake, either on a boat or a personal watercraft. These activities do, however, come with some dangers to your hair. If
you happen to use hair color or hi-lites, exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun can quickly compromise your color service. Not only does exposure to the sun fade hair color and hi-lites, but it most often changes the total value to a more “brassy,” red-orange tone. Golfers also deal with sun exposure to their hair, as the favorite headwear of most women is a visor, which offers little or no protection from the sun for your hair. Simple solutions are to choose headwear that offers

Art Market Gallery’s September Featured Artist Exhibit and Reception
R
ecent works by painter George Rothery and woodturner Gordon Fowler will be featured throughout September at the Art Market Gallery. An opening reception for the artists, including complimentary refreshments and live music by The Accidentals, will begin at 5:30 pm on September 7th during downtown Knoxville’s monthly First Friday Art Walk. The show will feature George’s marine-themed acrylic paintings and Gordon’s wooden bowls, platters, and hollow forms.
George Rothery George is a graduate of the University of Tennessee with a major in marketing. After serving in the U.S. Air Force, discharged with the rank of Captain, George
became professionally involved with art when he opened galleries in Knoxville that became art exhibition centers for the surrounding area for the next 22 years. After another career in manufacturer representation, George became a professional maritime artist. He picked up a brush and canvas to create oils and acrylics reminiscent of the sailing and boating he loved growing up on the New Jersey shore and later on the South Carolina coast. His paintings are in private and corporate collections from Massachusetts to Florida and from the Carolinas to Texas. He has been in many national juried shows, and his work has appeared in American Artist, The Complete Painters Handbook, Workshop, Life on the Water, Homes and Living, and a number of newspaper articles. George had the idea for the first Mr. Halston thriller, A Summer Again (of a planned series of three Mr. Halston books), in the back of his mind for years. From time to time, he played with the idea of getting serious about it and really working on the old manuscript he had toyed with along the way. One day he actually decided to get serious and see what would happen. What happened is that he really fell in love with writing. Now he is consumed with writing and the reviews he has received on this book from Kirkus Reviews, Midwest Book Reviews, and others. The number two of the series is already underway. So what happens now is all up to the readers.
Gordon Fowler “I make bowls, platters, and hollow forms from wood using a woodturning lathe. I find the wood on roadsides or friends tell me about a tree they cut down. I get a kick out of ‘recycling’ these logs that would otherwise go to a landfill or a fireplace. Most of my work is twice-turned. That means I cut the logs with a chainsaw, rough turn it, let it dry for at least six months, then turn it again to its final thickness. Making round things is inherent to the lathe, and I’m inspired by the symbolism and symmetry of circles. I’m influenced by texture, patterns, and contrasts found in nature. I strive to create pleasing forms combined with exquisite grain patterns.” Owned and operated by more than 60 professional regional artists, the Art Market Gallery, located at 422 South Gay Street, is a few doors away from Mast General Store and next to Downtown Grill & Brewery. Hours are 11 am to 6 pm Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday, 11 am to 9 pm Friday, and 1 to 5 pm Sunday. The gallery is wheelchair accessible; parking in the abutting garage and on the street is free on weekends and after 6 pm weekdays.

TV Lions Notch Another Successful Year
N
ineteen years old and counting, and the TV Lions continue their success as a premier service organization in Tellico Village, as well as Loudon County. Success is measured in two ways – fundraising and support of various activities and organizations that serve the greater community. “Fundraising is where it all starts and makes everything else possible,” said Ed Roeber, club President. The club has five major fundraising activities, all of which are only successful because of the support of TV residents and local businesses. Those most familiar to residents are the two food/social events: Oktoberfest (next month in October) and the Chili/Soup Dinner in the winter. Two of the others involve not only residents, but local businesses as well. They are the Golffor-Sight outing in May and the monthly delivery of flyers to all of the residences in the village. The final one, not involving a lot of village residents, is the support the Lions give to the Lenoir City Women’s Club during their annual Arts and Crafts Fair in June. Collectively these five events enabled the Lions to raise more than $35,000, all of which was spent in furtherance of the club’s motto of “We Serve.” Where do the dollars get spent? A portion is spent directly by the club in their vision and health related programs conducted in the county. Using a newly purchased camera at a cost of almost $8,000, Lions provide vision testing to school children at all levels, K through 12, in both county school systems. In addition, the camera is used to test the vision of children enrolled in preschool programs throughout the county. This includes children from the age of toddler up to six years of age. The other aspect of its healthcare programs are monthly health fairs held at the Good Samaritan Center in Lenoir City and the Good Shepherd Center in Madisonville. At both locations, blood pressure and glucose levels are tested. In addition, vision is also screened at the Good Sam Center. The Good Sam vision program also provides free glasses to those who need them and qualify as being poor under USG poverty guidelines. These programs consume about one-third, or about $10,000 of the funds raised, as indicated above.
schools and daycare centers, working at IVA’s Place or the Good Samaritan Center. The list is almost endless but involved individual Lions donating slightly more than 10,000 hours of service to our community. All of these projects would not achieve the success they do without two critical ingredients: Village residents and a lot of hard work by members of the Lions Club. While all members contribute, there are typically a few whose contributions go far beyond normal and call for special recognition by the club. This year awardees in this latter category included:
One additional expenditure of funds and a project that provided direct benefit to villagers was the Lions distribution of safety glasses for watching the total eclipse of the moon last summer. Thanks to the Lions, 3,000 village residents received these glasses, which helped them observe this fantastic phenomenon safely. “This was a great project that really reached a large portion of the village population,” said Lion Larry Elder. The balance of the funds are given as direct donations to a number of service and charitable organizations in four Lions mission area as defined by Lions Clubs International, the parent organization of all Lions clubs. These areas include the Lions Mission, which is all direct vision related programs; Mission Related, which includes organizations working to prevent blindness and vision problems; local charities; and community service. The second area Mission related has recently been expanded to include support of child-related oncology programs and programs directed at preserving or improving the environment. This last mission area was initiated with a $2,500 donation made to WATeR to support ongoing environmental project in the TV area. Major recipients of donations in the Lions Mission area include the Tennessee School for the Blind, East Tennessee Lions Eye Bank, Lions Eye Center at Vanderbilt University, and Lions Volunteer Blind Industries. In the second area, recipients include national diabetes research and
treatment organizations and, in support of children oncology treatment, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and, as mentioned above, WATeR. The third area support includes Good Sam, Second Harvest, Children’s Food Packs at the TV First Baptist Church, and Iva’s Place. The final area includes funds spent for activities in the community such as donations to the TVVFD, the TV Library, Smoky Mountain Service Dogs, the Yellow Ribbon Fund and Fisher House Foundation, and refurbishing the Tellico Village entrance signs. There is one other area of service that the TV Lions provide, and it is the collection of used eyeglasses and pill containers. Last year 1,598 pairs of used glasses were sent to the Roanoke Recycling Center, where they are refurbished and sent overseas for distribution. Also, 5,640 used pill containers were collected and donated to an organization in Ohio that sends them to Africa for use by indigent people in a number of countries. There is one other area of community service that is not included above but has a huge impact on the community. This is volunteer effort by individual Lions to the Tellico Village Community, as well as Loudon County. This includes being members of the TVVFD as either firefighters or first responders, service on various BODs such as POA, HOA, United Way, or individual housing areas in TV, reading at local

You may also join them for one of their meetings. They meet twice each month at the TV First Baptist Church; the first meeting is on the first Tuesday of the month at 9:15 am and the second, a dinner meeting, on the third Tuesday commencing at 6 pm.

Mary Poppins at The Arts Center
A
thens Community Theatre is pleased to present a children’s theatre production of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins, a musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney Film, on September 21, 22, 28, and 29 at 7 pm and September 23 and 30 at 2 pm at The Arts Center. ACT’s production of Mary Poppins is directed by ACT veteran, Tyler Peaden, who last directed ACT’s 2017 fall musical production of Shrek, The Musical, Jr. He is joined by ACT veteran, Jennifer Nunley, as music director. The cast stars Emma Brannen in the title role and Baruch Gabel as Bert, with Lauren Luallen as Jane, Walker Combs as Michael, Judah Renshaw as George, and Emerson McKenzie as Winifred. The cast also includes returning ACT actors Landrie Beach, Sophie Carroll, John Gabel, Nicodemus Gabel, Nikita Gabel, Wesley Graybeal, Emma Hester, Caroline Ingram, Natalie Leonesio, Ella Locke, Hannah McCall, Ruby Morgan, Emily Offutt, Ashleigh Turner, Loren Whidby, and Maddie Yates as well as newcomers Titus Blake, Tallulah Borwick, Lucy Coe, Lauren Duggan, Macy Knox, Sophia Lauterbach, Alec Morrison, Maggie Peterson, and Danika Woods. The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she teaches the family to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on magical and memorable adventures, but even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “anything can happen if you let it.” Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students, and advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended. The Arts Center is located at 320 North White Street in downtown Athens. For more information, call The Arts Center at 423-745-8781 or visit www. athensartscouncil.org.

ummer is now over, the kids are back in school, family vacations are distant memories, and fun time family activities are now squeezed into our weekends. As cooler autumn temperatures approach, our thoughts now turn to the big three holidays – Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s – and to holiday shopping and gift giving, particularly Christmas gifts. Remember last year when we promised ourselves that we were going to avoid next year’s holiday shopping rush? Well, here’s a great suggestion. Why not visit historic downtown Sweetwater for lunch and a little holiday shopping? It’s also a great time to enjoy a lovely autumn day outing with your mom or grandmother. Sweetwater has variety of lovely boutiques to browse and pick up something for yourself, your home, or a Christmas gift that you’re likely not going to find in the big box stores. Sweetwater’s Gallery on Main has some lovely gift ideas for any occasion, especially Christmas. Whether a new home décor item or a birthday, wedding, or anniversary gift, Gallery on Main has a large selection of gift items that will be cherished by the gift’s recipient for many years to come. I would like to personally invite you to visit us at the Gallery in historic downtown Sweetwater to browse through our collection of gifts, including one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, pottery, fabric art, paintings photography, carvings, and so much more – all the creations of our featured local and regional artists. I also want to take this opportunity to remind our loyal customers that we are looking for new owners for Gallery on Main, as my husband and I pursue our retirement dreams. If you know of someone who shares our passion for our art consignment business and its incredible artist community, please call me at the Gallery at 423-3377400 Tuesday through Saturday between the hours of 11 am and 4 pm.

Fashion Sense

The richness of fall colors!
he richness expected from fall fashions will definitely not disappoint you this season; however, there may be some unexpected shades that might change how you consider spicing up your seasonal wardrobe! Pops of metallic and blaring neon will add a blast of color as you transition into the most glorious of all seasons… autumn! Selected as color of the year by Pantone, ultra violet is one of the most feminine and will take you beautifully from summer into early fall. Winter blues are welcomed, especially the richer, darker versions of royal… always a perfect shade for every skin tone and a preference of many women. One color that stands out as a favorite in every designer’s collection… dark, rich, earthy, olive green. When worn alone, it is striking, or when combined with other colors, it’s gorgeous! Consider it your new khaki, it’s so versatile! These three colors are worn throughout every season and can easily be paired with all of the outstanding neutrals for fall. Black, charcoal, and shimmery grey will be your key basics when building your wardrobe this season at The Lily Pad, where selections are always plentiful. Whether you are a size XS or XXL, we’ve got you covered! Follow us on Facebook at The Lily Pad Boutique and Instagram at @shopthelilypad for daily fashion updates!

A
thens Area Council for the Arts (AACA) is proud to open the 39th annual performance season with Jonathan Byrd and The Pickup Cowboys featuring Kyshona Armstrong on September 7 at 7:30 pm. Dubbed “a folk singer with the heart of a rock ‘n’ roll band” by the Free Times, Byrd is a preacher’s son, a Gulf War veteran, and an award-winning songwriter from Chapel Hill, NC, known for literary, outsider songs that have become campfire favorites. The Chicago Tribune called Byrd “one of the top 50 songwriters of the past 50 years.” Joined by vocal powerhouse Kyshona Armstrong on bass and musical renaissance man Johnny Waken on guitar, saw, and mandolin, Byrd shares the often-missed, always poignant tales of the small people that make the world such a big place.
A cash bar will be available at 7 pm, and light hors d’oeuvres are included in admission. Tickets are on sale now. Adult tickets purchased in advance are $15, whereas tickets purchased at the door are $20, subject to availability. Student tickets are $10 in advance or at the door. Concertgoers planning to attend two or more events can purchase a ticket package and save an additional 10%. AACA encourages patrons to purchase tickets early, as seating is limited to 200 in the intimate Black Box Theater. Tickets and more information about this and other programs of Athens Area Council for the Arts are available online at www.athensartscouncil.org, by phone at 423-745-8781, or in person at 320 North White Street in Athens. The Arts Center is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm.
AACA Announces Black Box Concert Series
A
thens Area Council for the Arts (AACA) introduces a diverse lineup of performers, offering something for everyone in its 39th performance season. AACA presents four concerts by professional touring artists with the Black Box Concert Series in the Sue E. Trotter Black Box Theater at The Arts Center in Athens. Jonathan Byrd and The Pick Up Cowboys with Kyshona Armstrong open the series on September 7 at 7:30 pm. Dubbed “a folk singer with the heart of a rock ‘n’ roll band” by the Free Times, Byrd is a preacher’s son, a Gulf War veteran, and an award-winning songwriter from Chapel Hill, NC, known for literary, outsider songs that have become campfire favorites. The Chicago Tribune called Byrd “one of the top 50 songwriters of the past 50 years.” Joined by vocal powerhouse Kyshona Armstrong on bass and musical renaissance man Johnny Waken on guitar, saw, and mandolin, Byrd shares the often-missed, always poignant tales of the small people that make the world such a big place. On October 12, Derik Nelson and Family bring to the Black Box their signature sound featuring velvety threepart harmonies only a family can deliver. Siblings Derik, Riana, and Dalten have been performing together since
childhood. Derik appeared regularly as the lead guitarist on television’s Glee, among other shows, and his siblings have a number of television and music theatre credits. This unique show will transform the theatre, using the latest in audio/video technology to take the audience on an aural and visual journey through time and space. AACA is proud to announce the return of the Knoxville Symphony Chamber Orchestra, which sends a Chamber Ensemble to perform for the first time in the Black Box. On November 9, the KSO Merchant & Gould Concertmaster Series presents William Shaub & Friends: Devilish Vivaldi. Violinist William Shaub was appointed Concertmaster of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra in May 2017. Since his concerto debut with the Canton Symphony Orchestra at age 12, he has captivated audiences as a soloist, in recitals, and from the concertmaster chair and has been described in the press as “a wonderful ambassador for music.” The program includes selections from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. The Revelers, founding members of the Red Stick Ramblers and The Pine Leaf Boys – “unquestionably the two groups at the vanguard of the Louisiana cultural renaissance” – have joined together to form a Louisiana supergroup that closes the series on January 25, 2019.
Equally at home on a festival main stage, a late night dance party, or a performing arts hall, the Revelers have taken their mission coast to coast in the U.S. and around the world, combining swamp-sop, Cajun, country, blues, and zydeco into a powerful tonic of roots music that could only come from southwest Louisiana. Tickets are on sale now for all events in the Black Box Concert Series, and there are two ways to save on the already low ticket price. Adult tickets purchased in advance are $15, whereas tickets purchased at the door are $20, subject to availability. Student tickets are $10 in advance or at the door. Concert-goers planning to attend two or more events can purchase a ticket package and save an additional 10%. AACA encourages patrons to purchase tickets early, as seating is limited to 200 in the intimate Black Box Theater. All Black Box Concert Series shows are in the Sue E. Trotter Theater at The Arts Center in downtown Athens. Tickets and more information about this and other programs of Athens Area Council for the Arts are available online at www.athensartscouncil.org, by phone at 423745-8781, or in person at 320 North White Street in Athens. The Arts Center is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm.
Irlene Mandrell
September, 2018, East Tennessee’s Mountain Views • 17A
I
by
f you’re a baby boomer, there’s no doubt you remember the hit TV show Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters. There’s also no doubt that you remember the syndicated hit show Hee Haw. The common thread between those two iconic shows is none other than the lovely and talented Irlene Mandrell, the youngest of the three famous sisters. Irlene has remained quite active since those days on hit TV shows. Not only does she still perform, but she also still records (with help by her producer-husband, Pat Holt) and is also a writer – not of songs but, as of recently, books. I recently spoke with Irlene by phone about her latest CD, Thanks To You, and her new book, God Rains Miracles. Irlene shared what the theme is of Thanks To You. “You can download the songs,” she said. “They mean a lot to me. We’ve spent some time listening to words and putting together the songs that touched our hearts. When I say ‘our,’ it’s Pat and I with Pat producing it. “Of course at our age, most of our dads were in World War II. That was the time everybody fought and joined together. Our dads were both World War II veterans, and Pat is a Vietnam era veteran. It meant a lot to us to put this CD together and to listen to the words. “We decided that the title of the album should be what we wanted to say to our heroes, which was, ‘Thanks to you!’ Thanks to you for different things, but basically, when people say, ‘Thanks to you for our freedom,’ I say that we wouldn’t even be here to have our freedom if it
Randy Patterson, Boomerocity.com
wasn’t for everybody fighting for us to keep them off of our land. That’s what my daddy always said.” Irlene then segued into how her book came about. “It was a great project and, at about the same time this year, something else I’ve been working on for quite a few years – just writing some things now and then, trying to remember miracles that have happened in my family that I’d heard about before I was born that I share with my kids those that have happened since I’ve been here. “As you start talking to your friends about miracles and I started thinking about putting this into a book, then a couple of friends say, ‘Well, let me tell you...’ Even before I even mention the book and share a miracle, I always get one back, and I would remember it. I called a lot of people when it got time to do the book and asked them if I could share their miracle.
“I put them down on tape, so I got to hear it again. That was such a blessing as with the CD. Everything is about God, country, and family. So getting to do the CD for our country, the people who are heroes, the reason we have our country, doing a book about miracles – some people can read the book if they want and just say, ‘Well, these are great stories and great things that happened to people.’ To me, they’re beyond coincidence – almost all of them. Some of them are stronger than others that you just go, ‘Wow!’ That was such a blessing, putting that together. “I had people coming to me who didn’t know I was writing the book. Before I could finish that one, I was thinking, ‘I need to finish this up,’ and someone would be talking and all of a sudden, there would be this miracle and I wouldn’t even mention one to them! “The one thing I asked everybody, ‘Were there any prayers?’ They say things like, ‘Oh my gosh, you gotta call my dad, because he organized prayers with the church, where he worked, and this and that.’ That was all
the stories. When I would find out, there would be these prayer groups. That was such a blessing for me. This year has been so inspirational for me and such a blessing that I’ve been floating on the clouds. “While we know that God can still perform miracles, we may catch ourselves saying, ‘I know He can, but does He still?’ This book answers that question. It’s encouraging, inspiring, and uplifting. It gives hope and, if you’ll let it, you just might feel a nudge from our Maker as you read it and let yourself be open to it." You can order the book and CD in plenty of time for Christmas by visiting www.IrleneMandrell.com. There is much more to this interview that can be read in its entirety at www.boomerocity.com. Randy’s first interview was at the tender age of 13 with none other than Col. Tom Parker. Thirtysix years later he founded the webzine, Boomerocity.com, and has conducted close to 200 interviews with some of the most interesting people in music.

Tired of Wire?
18A • East Tennessee’s Mountain Views, September, 2018
H
as this ever happened to you? You are getting something out of your wire system closet and suddenly your clothes collapse on the ground in a tangled heap. Or all the items in your old wire pantry crash to the floor in the middle of the night. A new house or an old one, many homeowners face a common problem: A pre-made wire closet system. Wire is inexpensive, but in the end, is cheaper always better? While wire is certainly adequate and easy to install yourself, the non-adjustable hanging and shelving doesn’t utilize all the storage space available. Additionally, there’s a probability of an untimely failure. “We often receive calls from homeowners asking for a custom design after their wire pantry collapses or they come home to find all their clothes dumped on the floor,” said Kathryn Norton, designer and co-owner of Tailored Living of Knoxville. “There can be inherent structure problems with wiring since the anchoring system is not sufficient to support hundreds of pounds of clothes or pantry items.” A custom closet is not only more durable, it also: »» Maximizes storage – A custom closet design adds
Custom Storage Spaces Replace Inefficient Wire Shelving
A custom closet can include popular accessories like this slide-out belt rack. Convenient accessories help maximize space and make everyday items easy to find.
30-40% more storage space than wire or do-it-yourself kits. »» Fits any budget – A custom closet by Tailored Living doesn’t have to mean expensive. An experienced designer can help meet almost any budget. A simple
design will still maximize the available storage space. »» Offers adjustability – As your needs change, shelves and rods can be adjusted, converting shelves to hanging and vice versa, with no damage to the system or sheetrock. For kids’ closets and pantries, adjustability is a must. »» Provides better organization – There’s a place for everything, and everything has a place. No more emotional stress over feeling disorganized. »» Increases home value – Whether moving in a few years or not, professionally designed closets are high on the list of features homebuyers want. The amount of square footage a home has doesn’t matter as much as how well the space inside is used. Whether classic white or a wood-grain finish, the difference is dramatic both in appearance and usability. Once you have a custom closet, pantry, or laundry room, you will never want wire again!

All Annuities Are Not the Same
R
ecently I read an article written by an investment advisor who disparaged annuities as complex, full of hidden fees, and subject to a higher tax burden when compared to stock investments. He started out referencing annuities in general and quickly devolved into bashing one subset of annuities – a non-IRA variable annuity. I’m not a huge fan of non-IRA variable annuities either, but he did the readers a disservice in not recognizing that there are other types of annuities that can fit a retiree’s lifestyle quite nicely. I’ll provide a little counter balance and discuss two other types of annuities for the more conservative investor. Fixed annuities are much like a bank CD, where your principal is not subject to market loss, and they pay a guaranteed rate of interest for a guaranteed period of time. They are different than a bank CD in that they are tax-deferred, and they are not FDIC insured. Instead you rely on the strength of the insurance company and the Tennessee State Guaranty Fund. Typical terms range from three to five years, and you can generally withdraw interest with-
Many retirees don’t have pensions anymore, and their biggest concern is outliving their money. out penalty. Plan to leave your principal alone, though, or you can incur declining surrender charges. Fixed index annuities are also not subject to market loss. They calculate interest by using indexes tied to the markets – the S&P, Nasdaq, etc. Interest credits annually depending on how those indexes perform. If the markets are negative in a given year, you won’t earn any interest – but your principal won’t go backward either. Be aware that they are considered longer term investments, generally 10 years, where you can withdraw 10% of your account without penalty, but excess withdrawals incur declining surrender charges. Many retirees don’t have pensions anymore, and their biggest concern is outliving their money. So they opt to add a lifetime income withdrawal feature to their fixed
index annuity. The insurance company is contractually required to pay lifetime income, even if the retiree outlives his annuity balance. (And for the spouse’s life, too, if they choose a joint-life option.) If he passes away early, the remaining annuity balance goes to his heirs. Fees for the income rider range from 0% to 1.5%. Remember all guarantees are dependent on the strength and claims-paying ability of the insurance company. Pick a highly rated one. Lastly, no matter what IRA’s are invested in – mutual funds, bank CDs, or lifetime income annuities – they are taxed as ordinary income and heirs receive no “stepup” in basis. So choose the investment that gives you the greatest peace of mind. That’s what matters in the end.

Renovating a Garage to Accommodate Your Life
A
garage is more than a place to park your car. It is an extension of your house and sometimes the largest room in your home. Garage remodeling is currently one of the fastest-growing segments of the homeimprovement industry. It’s a separate room that can be used for various purposes: A workshop, warehouse, kids’ toy storage, or simply a place to hangout. Whether your garage is large or small, these renovation tips will help you be more organized and enjoy a less-stressful life. » Keep it clutter free – No matter the size, using a garage as storage for tools, toys, and infrequently or unused items is normal. However, keep it organized. Donate or toss unused items. Pack the rest in boxes or plastic bins. When you need to locate items later, they will be much easier to find. » Install built-in cabinets – Quality garage cabinets are designed for the temperature extremes of a garage and the heavier-thannormal items we put there. This gives you storage that is designed for your specific needs and space. PremierGarage, the nation’s leader in garage enhancements and remodeling, designs suspended cabinets that make it easy to clean underneath while protecting the cabinets
and its contents from water. Cabinets leave you with more space to use as you need. » Use wall organizers – Slatwall, which attaches to your garage wall, is one of the most versatile systems for organizing and displaying items. With a system of hooks and other accessories, get larger items, such as bikes and wheelbarrows, off the floor. Work or garden tools are easily seen and within arm’s reach. » Invest in a floor coating system – If you’re willing to take several days, you can put down a do-it-yourself epoxy coating, but epoxy quickly shows tire marks, dirt, and peels up from the floor. By hiring flooring specialists like PremierGarage of Knoxville with their commercial-grade hybrid polymer system, you’ll have a durable, easy-to-clean floor that stands up to hot tires, abrasions, and spills. Most importantly, it will last for many years. Following these tips will help your garage work smarter so you can do everything you want – including parking a car!

A local Tennessee fan turned her garage into a Big Orange party room. When not cheering on the Volunteers, she can still park her car in the renovated garage.

ast Tennessee PBS and the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra are teaming up to create a new televised concert series called “Live at Lucille’s.” The shows will be taped in front of a live audience at East Tennessee PBS’ studios near downtown Knoxville between September and April 2019 and will feature local, regional, and national jazz artists. The broadcasts will occur on ETPBS later in 2019. WUOT will broadcast audio from the segments. The series will be sold as a six concert package for $180; tickets to single events may be made available depending on availability. Tickets are available at www.knoxjazz.org. Long-time Knoxville residents may remember Lucille’s Jazz Club in the Old City. The club was in operation throughout the 1990s and played host to local, regional, and national talent. When the club closed in 2001, East Tennessee PBS production manager, Chris Smith, bought the neon sign that hung in the window at the business’ estate sale. He also secured the rights to the name Live at Lucille’s in hopes of one day being able to create something that built on that legacy. Series Schedule: »»

Create a Lifetime of Memories in Your Home’s Kitchen By Patti Baker, Co-Owner of Granite Transformations
A
s a young girl growing up in Pennsylvania, my mother’s kitchen became a very special place to me. It was the family gathering place when aunts, uncles, and cousins came to visit. I have fond memories of newborn infants and fiancés being introduced to family members for the first time, fresh baked cookies, and roasted Thanksgiving Day turkey. My own kitchen has similar memories that I hope my children and grandchildren will cherish as well. America’s kitchens remain our home’s source for a lifetime of memories. Unlike any other room in our home, our kitchen exudes a sense of warmth and comfort that welcomes guests. I’ve especially enjoyed the last 13 years of my life as my husband, Buddy, and I have helped thousands of area families create their own special gathering place in their home’s kitchen. As owners of Granite Transformations, we have helped countless homeowners transform their kitchens into that unique place we remember as children – a room where they can create all-new memories of their own that will last a lifetime. The centerpiece of the Granite Transformations’ story is their patented premium engineered granite countertops. They are made from the finest granite, quartz, and post-consumer recycled glass – the highest quality materials combined with state-of-the-art technology –

October 5 • 8 PM Bijou Theatre
rtists don’t really make albums like Lee Ann Womack’s THE LONELY, THE LONESOME & THE GONE anymore. Albums that seem to exist separate and apart from any external pressures. Albums that possess both a profound sense of history and a clear-eyed vision for the future. Albums that transcend genres while embracing their roots. Albums that evoke a sense of place and of personality so vivid they make listeners feel more like participants in the songs than simply admirers of them. Anybody who has paid attention to Womack for the past decade or so could see she was headed in this direction. The album is a breathtaking hybrid of country, soul, gospel, and blues, coming from Womack’s core. Capturing the reality of East Texas music isn’t always easy, but being in Houston helped make that happen, inspiring an approach to the recording process that everyone embraced from the first note played. Womack wanted to make sure the album had a lot of soul in it, because real country music has soul, and she wanted to remind people of that. When you make albums, and aren’t just going for singles – you really have to treat them with respect. In Houston, with all its history, eccentricity, diversity, and its lack of pretense, she found a place where she could flourish. Listen, and when Womack and the music take you there, you’ll find you want to stay. For more information, visit www.knoxbijou.org.

September in the Garden
F
BY LISA GRUGIN
all is in the air, and that makes me happy. I have always worked outside and usually don’t mind the heat, but I feel like this year has been harder than normal. The thermometer says it hasn’t been hotter, so maybe it is just that I am getting older! In any case, we will soon be to the time of year when working in your yard isn’t miserable, so let’s talk a little bit about fall gardening. First of all, fall is a good time to evaluate or re-evaluate your yard. Is it serving the purpose that you need it to? Is it an area that you use and enjoy or just something that you have to mow every few days? I encourage you to create at least one area in your yard where you can sit and eat, entertain, or relax. The pterodactyl sized mosquitoes may make that hard, but there are ways of encouraging them to go elsewhere. If you don’t have an area like that, come in and let’s talk about it! Secondly, I ask that you go outside and do your monthly walk in your yard. Check on all your plants, not just the ones beside your door! Have weeds taken over? Do you have insects and diseases? Have things died, or have some things been so happy with all this rain that they are taking over your yard? Are there plants that need deadheading or pruning? Make a list of all the chores that need to be done. Now let’s talk about that list. If you only do one garden task this fall, make it a good clean-up. There has been an abundance of insects and diseases this year, and leaving the fallen leaves on the ground just makes a nice winter home for them. Pull up spent annuals and vegetables, cut back perennials, and clean up leaf debris that has insect or disease damage. Other leaves can be chopped with your
lawn mower and used as mulch or put into your compost bin. Are you planning to plant trees and shrubs this fall? While fall is a great time to plant larger trees and evergreens, please keep in mind that October is our driest month. It may be appropriate to wait until later in October to plant those so the rains of November will water them. It is also a good idea to keep at least one garden hose operational. I get frustrated at people who come in and tell me that they are having their irrigation systems turned off late in September or early October, because this is when your plants will need the most help! Yes, your irrigation company wants you to go ahead because they get booked up, but your thirsty plants will appreciate it if you wait. There are some plants that need to go in a bit earlier in the fall so they can get roots down before we have a frost. Most perennials fall into this category, as do heat lovers like Crape Myrtles and grasses. I usually suggest you have them in by mid-September, since our average first frost is mid-October. Mums also should be planted by mid-September if you want them to come back, but let me spend a few sentences on this ubiquitous plant. The colorful balls that you see everywhere in the fall are a hybrid of the perennials mums and may or may not come back the following year. If they do come back, they may be in the form of several small mums instead of one big one. They may even come back a different color! It is also impossible to have a mum that lasts the entire fall. No, your neighbor does not have one that blooms from Labor Day until Thanksgiving! Mums have a four to six week bloom time that is shortened by heat and elongated by cool tempera-
tures. There are early, mid, and late season bloomers, so my suggestion is to buy one that you can replace when it finishes. You do not need to fertilize them, but they will need daily watering. They compost well. Pansies are another plant that needs a little explanation. If you have moved here from the north, please drop the term “winter pansies” from your vocabulary. There is no such thing. A pansy is a pansy, and they will happily last all winter and put on a show next spring. Plant them by the end of September (mid-October if it stays hot) with an extended release fertilizer such as Osmocote. Don’t plant them too early or they will stretch and get ugly.
I will finish up with a plea for the birds. Fall migration is in process, so please keep those feeders clean and full. A birdbath is also a welcome sight for a tired and thirsty bird. Keep those cleaned and filled as well. I hope you come in and check out all the fall plants and decorations we are getting in. You should also stop in and talk to us if you are planning to make some changes in your yard. We can help you make good decisions!
hours. Keep them on grassy areas if possible, as hot surfaces can harm their paw pads, as well as increase their body temperatures. Find a shady area and be sure to have cool, clean water available. Help keep water cool by using ice cubes or adding a container of frozen chicken or beef stock. Never use a muzzle for your dog in hot weather as it restricts their ability to pant, which is how they cool themselves off to maintain their body temperature. Remove shedding fur or trimming long hair to keep your pet cooler, but don’t shave too close (leave at least an inch in length), as the fur protects your pet from sunburn. Finally, never leave your pet in a parked car, as temperatures will rise very quickly – even if the windows are open. The other Pets of the Week are three warm and fuzzy cats looking for new homes: Blaze, Cosmo, and Georgie. Blaze is a very affectionate 2-year-old male, medium-hair Marmalade cat with striking orange eyes. He would do best in a home without dogs, cats, or young children. Daily brushing will maintain his beautiful fur and prevent painful matting. Cosmo is a sweet and cuddly lap kitty. He’s a black male 1-year-old domestic shorthair mix with golden eyes. He has quite the personality and loves to interact with humans and dogs, maybe even with other cats – with proper introduction. His owner had to move to a no-pets apartment. Georgie is a big talkative 3-year-old male medium-hair brown tabby with golden eyes. He likes to be petted and rubbed. He can be a bit grumpy with younger visitors and would do best as an only cat, but he’s a real sweetheart with adults and older children that show him proper respect! Please remember their true purrsonality may not show in the shelter environment. Take time to pet them while they are still
in their condo and let them get used to you before you pick him/her up. Please come visit all of our cats and kittens. All animals at the shelter are spayed or neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations and testing, and are microchipped with registration. Cats are litter box trained. $40 adoption fee if over 2 years old, $50 under 2. We are looking for foster homes to help kittens that need to be bottle fed, older weaned kittens that need to grow up and gain weight so they can be spayed/neutered and adopted, or un-socialized kittens that have had minimal human contact and need some TLC so they can be adopted. Please call the shelter for additional information. We also need dog and puppy fosters all year long! IMPORTANT NOTE: Animal Control is administered through the Sheriff’s office. Call them at 423-442- 3911 to report cases of stray animals, animal endangerment, abuse, or neglect. Please do not call the shelter. The Monroe County Animal Shelter Thrift Store has opened at its new location at 3949 Highway 411 in Madisonville. The store is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. There are tremendous bargains, and new merchandise arrives daily. The thrift store is an important revenue generator that helps the organization care for the homeless and abandoned cats and dogs of Monroe County. Along with our new location, check out our new Facebook page at Thrift Store of MCFA. The Monroe County Animal Shelter is located at 170 Kefauver Lane in Madisonville (behind Walmart) and is open Tuesday through Friday 11-4:30 and Saturday 11-2. The shelter is closed Sunday and Monday. For more information, call 423442-1015 or check out all available pets on our website at www.monroecountyfriendsofanimals.org.

Monroe County Friends of Animals’ Pets of the Week!
T
his week’s Pet of the Week is Bruno. Bruno is a 14-month-old red pit bull mix. He has a non-aggressive personality and gets along with other dogs. He has the best leash-walking manners of any dog in the shelter and appears to be at least partially trained. He is a quick learner who loves attention and will smile for the camera. As with any large dog, he is probably better suited to a family with children that are past the toddler age, but this guy is a real charmer. Summer is a time when the extreme
heat of the season can be dangerous for pets. The most serious concern is heat stroke. Symptoms can include excessive panting, lethargy, drooling, fever, and vomiting. You can help your pet lower their body temperature. Move them to a cooler location (somewhere indoors with a fan or air conditioner) and provide cool, fresh water. Use room temperature water (either by hand or in a misting spray bottle) to help cool their skin via evaporation. Limit exercise periods during hot days. Take walks in the morning and evening

ost people know us for our exceptional tile and grout services, as well as all other hard surfaces inside the home. A lesser known fact is that we also specialize in most outdoor surfaces that also need attention. New in 2018, we now offer professional SOFT washing for your home’s exterior: Brick, vinyl siding, and stucco. Soft wash is the only way to safely clean your
home’s exterior face using a perfectly formulated cleaning solution, safe heat, and pressure. Washing a home’s exterior is not a “one-size-fits-all.” Each home presents its own distinctive challenges and requires professional knowledge and service so damage can be prevented. Many of us have dealt with algae, mildew, or mold streaking the outside of our homes. Even gutters can
become dull and stained throughout the years and need refreshment. Black streaks on the roof are unsightly and must be dealt with before permanent damage occurs. It is impossible for the homeowner to simply rinse off algae and mold, and scrubbing many areas of your home’s exterior can be dangerous and futile. Traditional pressure washing can actually cause harm, and a proper mixture of the correct cleaning chemicals, appropriate heat, and adequate pressure are a must to get real results. Sidewalks, driveways, and decking each have a unique set of challenges: » Sidewalks damaged by algae or topical debris inevitably become slick and must be dealt with before accidents happen. Even if your sidewalk does not get slick with moisture, you may be dealing with stains from foot traffic or vegetation. » Driveways, on the other hand, can lose their luster over time or accumulate ugly oil stains. Traditional pressure washing can pock-mark your entire surface and cause expensive repairs. I can’t tell you how many well-meaning homeowners inadvertently destroy their own sidewalk while trying to pressure wash them. Concrete driveways that are white pose even more challenges and can be stained from deeply embedded grime from vehicles’ hot tires. » Wood and composite decking can become dangerous as algae embeds deep within the pores of the wood, inviting a slip accident! Alternatively, it can become dry, brittle, and faded if it has not been properly cleaned and sealed. Each problem requires a unique solution, and Surface Doc is specifically qualified to tackle each element and the challenges they present. Please give John and his team a call today, and see the difference they will make for your home tomorrow. Surface Doc

ou’re watching what you eat, you’re staying active, but you’re still unhappy with your body shape. Sound familiar? That stubborn problem area on your waistline can be annoyingly resistant to diet and exercise. That’s where the truSculpt® 3D procedure can help. Developed by Cutera, the global pioneer in performance and innovation within the cosmetic and aesthetic laser device field, the non-invasive, truSculpt® 3D procedure can help you sculpt your body by quickly and easily targeting both large and small problem areas. We recently interviewed J. Kevin Buchanan, MD, Knoxville area’s family practice physician and truSculpt® 3D practitioner, to discover just how this revolutionary, new, state-of-the-art medical breakthrough can help patients treat those problem areas around their midsections. MV: Dr. Buchanan, truSculpt® 3D uses radio frequency technology to help decrease circumference and diminish fat in patients. Tell our readers just how this technology works. Dr. Buchanan: truSculpt® 3D uses conductive radio frequency to achieve selective and effective disruption of the subcutaneous fat tissue, the fat that lies directly beneath the skin, while maintaining comfortable surface temperatures. MV: Just how safe is truSculpt® 3D? Dr. Buchanan: truSculpt® 3D, which is FDA cleared, is a safe, non-invasive body sculpting technology, where the temperature of the skin and subcutaneous tissue are maintained at comfortable levels while consistently achieving the best results. MV: How quickly will clients see visible results? Dr. Buchanan: Visible results can usually be seen as soon 6 to 12 weeks, with maximum benefits at 12 weeks. Some clients report seeing results in as little as 4 to 6 weeks. MV: How much fat thickness reduction will patients experience? Dr. Buchanan: Clients can expect fat reduction of targeted areas of up to 24%. MV: Is it possible to treat more than one problem area per session? Dr. Buchanan: Yes, it is possible to treat multiple areas in a single session, including the neck, upper arms, abdomen and flanks, back, and thighs. MV: Should clients experience any discomfort or downtime after the procedure? Dr. Buchanan: Some clients may experience some redness of the skin that typically resolves itself in 8 to 12 hours. Others report soreness of the treatment area that may last for a few days. There is no restriction on activity following the procedure. MV: Treatments are administered by an NP or medical assistant under your personal supervision, correct? Dr. Buchanan: We have a nurse practitioner, two medical assistants, and myself who are all trained and certified to perform the truSculpt® 3D procedure. MV: How can our readers who are interested learn more about the truSculpt® 3D? What is the best way to reach you? Dr. Buchanan: Call Ashley Burchfield at 865-675-1953 ext. 224 for more information or to schedule a free consultation or visit www.tru3dbody.com.

t might be difficult to think about winter when daytime highs are still hovering around the high 80s, but winter is only a few short months away.

Or how about the two-and-a-half hours you had to wait for
AAA to show up to jumpstart your car? If your garage is like a lot of other garages, it’s probably filled floor to ceiling and wall to wall with stuff. Well, the solution is easier than you might have imagined. Just give the professionals at Bakers Creek Storage a call today at 865-973-4367.
