Rediscover the Great Out-of-Doors All Year-Round

WHY NOT let the professionals at Undercover Systems help you take full advantage of unlimited out-of-door events this season that your entire family can enjoy all year round? Now is the ideal time to get the totally unique and proprietary underdeck ceiling system from Undercover Systems installed under your home’s existing raised decks. This underdeck system will ensure that all your gatherings will be protected from unexpected and unwanted rain, searing summertime sun, and next winter’s snow and ice.

“Right now is the perfect time to weatherproof all of your outof-door events,” said Jim Conn, owner of Undercover Systems. “Throughout the entire process, our skilled craftsmen work with you, each step of the way, until your project is completed to your total satisfaction. And because your project will be completed this spring, you can begin enjoying your new outdoor living spaces before barbeque season heats up.”

Undercover’s patented underdecking system is designed by and manufactured exclusively by Undercover Systems, unlike other installers that use off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all underdecking products. And because Undercover’s system is supported entirely by their patented drain system - and not your deck - air is free to circulate ensuring the longevity of your deck’s wooden structural supports, preventing them from premature failure.

You’ll appreciate Undercover Systems’ attention to detail, which comes from years of experience, as they help you craft a seamless transition from your home’s interior to your new out-of-door living spaces. Underdeck ceilings come in a variety of colors and textures to perfectly complement your existing architecture and landscaping. You will also appreciate that every decking project is personally supervised by Jim and that Undercover Systems is a complaint-free member of the Better Business Bureau.

Why not delight your family this spring with a special gift that everyone can appreciate all year long? Extend the enjoyment of your out-of-door spaces, protect your family from the elements, and begin creating a lifetime of memories. Call Jim at 423-2670091 today to start celebrating your out-of-doors now and for all the seasons to come.

FLOAT • FOOD • FAMILY • FUN

JOIN US on May 14th for a fun day utilizing one of the coolest natural resources we have in Knox County, the Beaver Creek Water Trail! Paddle with the Beaver Creek Kayak Club! Bring your kayak, paddle board, or canoe to the put-in right behind Powell High School.

Don’t own a kayak but want to do the Flotilla? Our friends at RiverSports will rent one to you. They will bring it to the launch and pick it back up at the end of the day.

The Powell High Landing gates will open at 7 am, where there will be helpers to unload your vessels before you park at Powell High School. The first boat gets launched at 9 am.

This year, we connect communities by launching from The Landing in Powell and offering two take out locations. Participants can float to the new Weigel’s on Clinton Highway (roughly a 1.5 to 2 hour trip) or, for a longer journey, float all the way to Roy Arthur Stormwater Park on Harrell Road in Karns (roughy a 4 to 4.5 hour trip). Once you reach the take out, we will help you get out of the water safely and help load your boat onto our complimentary kayak shuttle trucks.

You will be taken back to Float HQ, where we will have food, live music, and fun stuff for kids. Enjoy hanging out with other paddlers, and when you are ready to head home, go get your vehicle, bring it to Float HQ, and we will help you load up your boat and send you on your way!

Make sure you document your whole day! Post your pictures to Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook using #floatthebeaver. We want to see how much fun you had!

Register online at FloatTheBeaver.com. The first 200 to register will receive a free commemorative event t-shirt!

Time to Weed & Feed?

Business Note

BY BRETT CAFFERTY

MY DAD was a yard guy, spending countless hours outside with a shovel, a rake, and a wheelbarrow. He took great pride and joy in the work as well as the outcome.

Years ago, when we bought a house with a big yard, I came to realize I did not get that “yard gene!” In contrast to my dad, I struggle with all things “yard-ish” and do not relish the time spent working on it. Being confident of how to trim trees, noticing overgrown flower beds, and having the patience to pull weeds - it just ain’t there. I find I force myself to do the bare necessities of yard upkeep.

As I was applying a springtime round of lawn Weed & Feed (I actually thought about, bought, and put it down - yay me!), thoughts came to mind of the concept of “Weed & Feed” on a larger scale. I realized that it was a term that could apply to the broader picture of our daily lives and activities.

Weed & Feed, in concept, gets rid of the weeds you don’t want and feeds the grass you do want. What if we applied that principle to the projects we pursue, our job responsibilities, and the overall “duties” that we take on? Could we pay attention to the areas where we struggle versus noticing how easy and natural it can be when we are well-tuned to the task at hand? This leads to the question of why we spend considerable time and energy fighting to do things we are not good at or made for. Is it pride, a need for control, a lack of trusting others, or thinking that we should be able to handle everything that comes across our path with some degree of competence?

Business matters, raising a family, and the general goings-on of life continue to illuminate areas where my natural abilities and aptitudes DO NOT line up with the tasks or projects I feel are my responsibility. Anyone else? Rather than continue to struggle, what if we actively worked to WEED out (recognize and accept our natural limitations, be willing to give up control by delegating or actually asking others for help) to free up time and the mental energy to FEED (invest in, practice, and develop) areas of highest and best use?

From my armchair quarterback perspective, this would result in less stress, more effective use of time, greater satisfaction in work and home lives, benefiting others, and most likely being a more pleasant person to be around. Not to mention allowing others the satisfaction of using their gifts. Seems logical, right? No time like the present to Weed & Feed!

Evoke: Customized Facial Contouring

Transform into a more youthful version of you with Evoke by Inmode. Turn back the hands of time and reveal a younger looking you without needles, invasive surgery, scars, or downtime.

What is Evoke?

Evoke is an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed specifically to target facial tissue. It is a quick and easy nonsurgical alternative to remodel your face, chin, and jawline. Treatments are customized and tailored to address your specific needs so the end result is a natural, younger looking appearance.

How Does Evoke Work?

Evoke leverages clinically proven radiofrequency technology to deliver volumetric heating to the skin’s subdermal layers. By directly addressing the jowls and chin, Evoke can help you achieve a noticeable change in fat reductions and tighter skin. Evoke is recommended for patients who are seeking non-invasive facial remodeling treatments with no surgery, pain or post-procedure recovery. Evoke improves blood circulation and will provide a natural looking younger facial appearance. It is a very safe and effective procedure that can be used on all skin types and skin tones.

What Areas Does Evoke Treat?

Evoke technology focuses on the jowls, jawline, and chin areas of the face.

Is Evoke Comfortable?

Evoke treatments are very comfortable. During your treatment, you can expect a warming of your skin similar to a warm facial. It is a quick and painless treatment that can be done during lunchtime. You will be able to sit upright and can surf the internet, read a book, or watch TV while treatments to restore youth are being performed. Evoke is designed with a patient call button so you can easily pause your treatment at any time and have clinic staff make adjustments to ensure your comfort.

Dr. Doppelt will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results. You will begin to see gradual improvements in the treatment area following your first few sessions.

There is absolutely no recovery period or downtime associated with Evoke. It is a quick and painless treatment that can be done during your lunchtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately.
