‘Born to Blog’

An Interview with Social Media Guru and Author Mark Schaefer Editor’s Note: Mark Schaefer is the author of three books on Social Media including his latest, “Born to Blog.” Mary Ellen Miller of MarketingMel had the opportunity to interview Mark when they were both speakers at the recent SoloPR Summit in Atlanta. Mark is also the creator of SocialSlam, a popular Social Media Summit that takes place April 5 in Knoxville. Look for the MarketingMel team there!

MarketingMel: Mark, tell us about your new book, “Born to Blog.”

Mark: I’m really excited. I wrote it with my good friend Stanford Smith, he’s @PushingSocial. I’ve been asked for a long time to write a book that’s similar to the Tao of Twitter that’s about blogging. You can read it

March 2013

in 90 minutes, it has an impact, and there’s a human aspect to the book. It’s not just about mentions and re-tweets and tweets.

Stanford and I began talking about this and we both have a passion bordering on obsession with helping people with their blogs, and it became an idea for a book. If you look at obstacles that people have to blogging, it’s not necessarily ideas; it’s not necessarily a desire to do it. They’re all human factors like: how do I have the courage to do it? How do I have the time to do it? What if someone disagrees with me?

What do I do? These are all human characteristics and so we wrote a very human book. Now there are tips and tricks in there for anybody…but I really think that blogging is a very human endeavor and so we wrote a very

human book.

MarketingMel: Mark you mentioned that some people are “selling out” their blogs in your presentation. Can you elaborate on that?

Mark: In many cases people have so much other potential and once you cross that line and you become an ad instead of a person, the trust goes down.

When I see a blog post about a paper shredder it stops me in my tracks. I’m not going to read that blog. I’m not going to tweet that

blog. And I frankly think less about the blogger because you’re making a couple hundred bucks for a sponsored post. Is it really worth it? You’ve offended me as your reader. People have to make their own decisions, but I think in the long run business relationships are built on trust. People are tired of being advertised to, they are sick of being marketed to. They want to hear your story, they want to hear what you had to say today but when you turn it into an ad it makes it something different.

Spring’s finally here March 20th!

Time for a trip to Corner Nest Antique Mall Elizabethton, TN. — There was a lot of activity among the vendors at Corner Nest Antique Mall during our recent monthly visit as new items are being stocked for the upcoming days of spring.

Especially busy was “Shelia” who told us how her floppy-eared bunnies ended up being a highly sought after item in her booth on the first floor.

“I started sewing with my mother when I was [just] a little girl. . . making clothes for myself,” she said with a smile. “I continued to be involved in sewing all my life and I’ve also been collecting antiques over the years. But, mostly my concentration is on sewing. I especially love making primitive rabbits and people really enjoy them. I guess they might remind them of their younger days when we played with stuffed animals and dolls and such.”

The Carter County native said she, like the other vendors, “will be bringing in new and different items including more handmade rabbits just in time for Easter.”

“People seem to enjoy visiting my booth and finding something unique and different at a reasonable price,” she added. “I keep my prices low because I’m just interested in recouping a little money for my time. It’s an enjoyable hobby and I’ve been a vendor at Corner Nest for a long time. Even as a vendor, I find myself enjoying visiting other booths here. It’s just a great store and one-of-a-kind.”

At Shelia’s booth you will also find Needsuls, Uncle Sams and other primitive items. And, she always on the lookout for interesting items to be included in her booth.

Thomas Cellars and Billy Crawford, who live in the Hampton community, are new vendors to the Corner Nest Antique Mall but they are already getting noticed by savvy shoppers looking for quality items reasonably priced. “We offer Shabby Chic fur-

nishings and accessories, primitive items and beautiful wall paper and potpourri,” says Thomas. “We also help other vendors at Corner Nest with painting and interior design of their booths. Billy and I enjoy refurbish-

ing and re-upholstering antique and slightly used furniture.”

Cellars and Crawford say they are delighted with the reaction from the public to the items in their booth.

“We may have only been here a few

March to a Different Drum March has approached fast and if the weather holds up in March like it has all winter, runners should be in store for a real treat as far as outdoor running conditions go. But let’s face it, running conditions aren’t all it takes to be a runner and exactly Suzy Cloyd what does a runner really look like?

Most of us think of slender bodies, long legs, zero fat, with lean, well-cut torsos or better yet, we envision the Olympic athlete.

Well I am hear to tell you that while the Olympic athlete has all of these features along with skill, determination and know-how, runners come in all shapes and sizes.

More often than not, when I am standing in the starting line of a road race, I look around to see who my competition is, and who I am running with on any given day.

And I love what I see! I see people (including myself) who break the stereotype of what runners look like.

Bodies in every shape, form, and fashion.

Clothing, running gear, and hydration systems that truly amaze me and finally I see a group of people who have one thing in common — all of them are marching to the beat of a different drum.

What running means to the person in front of me, means something completely different to the person behind.

What running means to me, may not mean the same to the person who crosses the finish line 1st , 50th , or even last. I am convinced there is a place for everyone in the race.

Spring is coming and I cannot encourage you enough to find your passion, find your interest, find your reason, and run. Shake off old man winter, come out from under the frost, and begin your March to the beat of a different drum, called exercise.

Latest session of paper windows photography project announced Bristol, TN. --- The final session of the Paper Windows Photography project is now open to the public.

At the end of this session the project will see its conclusion. “This has been a great project. We have had so many people who wanted to participate, I think we will most likely have close to 300 pictures when the project is completed,” said Lisa Beckner, project coordinator. “We have so many talented photographers in our area.”

The 11th session titled “Seeing Red” was just completed and the winners for the project are 1st place, “Happy Train” shot by Marlisa Osborne Moura. The picture was of the Steele Creek Park train winding its way through the park. “This picture reflected the descriptive titled, it was just happy, it made you smile when you looked at it,” reported a judge who serves on the three judge panel that chooses the winners each session. “You could just hear the laughter of the children and feel the warm sun while looking at this picture, it was great!”

The 2nd place photo was photographed by local photographer Matthew Mills and titled “Integrity and Pride.” The photo involved a red city fire truck with the emblem on the door. Another judge commented, “This shot was so cool, it had the reflection of the American Flag and a local fire station in the door of the fire truck where the Fire Department emblem is posted denoting the department’s motto of integrity and pride.” Mr. Mills is also a previous winner.

“Autumn’s Last Blaze of Glory” was shot by Jeff Levine. His photo was one of what appeared to be a maple tree along a body of water. The brilliant red leaves of the tree were reflected in the pool of water. One of the judges on the panel commented, “You could see the peacefulness in this picture, you could just get lost it in, it was a great shot.”

The last session is “Bristol in Blue” and has a deadline of March 21, 2013.

Secret Phantom Diner: [Editor’s Note: Each month Out ‘N About Magazine’s “Phantom Diner” will present a column identifying the best restaurants and eateries to try in the Tri-Cities and beyond].

Johnson City, TN. --- [Boone Creek Exit]. Even though it has only been open for barely a year, Poblanos Mexican Grill & Bar has established itself as one of the best eateries in the Tri-Cities.

Their monocle is: “Always the Freshest Ingredients” and our recent stop there for dinner proved that to be the case. If you like Mexican food [and a wide variety of it] this is the place to be.

Their menu is filled with extensive offerings beginning with appetizers, soups and salads, wings, dips, Tostada Bites, Taquitos, ribs, and a [combination sampler platter consisting of: Taquitos, wings, ribs and queso dip made to share] dozens of dinner offerings take up four pages in the menu, they have a full bar and their desserts are to die for [I’ll tell you about the Banana Burrito in a minute].

For starters, the Phantom and my guests chose the sampler platter which was a bargain at only $12.99. The food was hot and fresh and plenty of it for an appetizer. I washed down the wings and ribs with a hardy and very tasty “award-winning” Margarita.

We also shared the Table Side Guacamole: Guac This Way with chips: It is prepared table side to your specifications, served with red onions, lime, cilantro, garlic, fresh jalapenos, and two avocados, topped with queso fresco. It was now time for the main course and looking at the menu the selection was a hard decision since Poblanos offers every Mexican dish imaginable: Burritos, Quesadillas, Enchiladas, Tacos, Fajitas, combination dinners, and on-and-on.

I settled on shredded Chicken Chimichangas. The two, large Chimichangas arrived shortly and had been deep fried to a slight crisp, topped with queso dip, alongside a piping hot big portion of refried beans, complimented with a guacamole salad and sour cream.

At only $8.99, the dinner portion of this trip was not only a delight to the pallet, it was twice as large as I expected and I wondered how they made any money off the plate that would have easily fed two adults. True to their word, the food was fresh, hot and tasty. The waiter was there when we needed him to refill drinks and mix a pitcher of Sangria [which included an entire bottle of wine in the process] but he did not make a nuisance of himself as I have noticed at some restaurants.

For dessert, I unloosened my belt and ordered the Banana Burrito. Oh my! Was my reaction when it came to the table. An entire banana was trapped and wrapped by a flour tortilla, deep fried, topped with honey, butter, cinnamon, and light chocolate syrup, served with a scoop of fresh vanilla ice cream. At only $3.99 I’d paid ten bucks for this baby!

The Phantom will defiantly be back with his friends to Poblanos Mexican Grill & Bar: Great food, great drinks, and friendly service and easy on the wallet. No wonder their parking lot stays full no matter the time of day.

Ramey Ford: #1 in Sales; #1 in Customer Satisfaction

Johnson City, TN — For General Manager Ed Johnson, the recipe for success at Ramey Ford can be summed up in just two words: customer satisfaction.

“You can buy a vehicle anywhere, so I think our success centers around our knowledgeable and friendly staff that stands behind you,” he says. “Our number one goal is not for you to just be satisfied, but to be completely satisfied. When At a Glance: you come here, Ramey Ford Lincoln you are greeted Mercury with smiles and 207 Princeton Road Johnson City, TN 37601 a family atmoMain Line: sphere.

When it comes to customer service, we go above and beyond. We treat our customers the way I would want to be treated. After all, buying a vehicle is one of most significant investments you’ll ever make besides purchasing a home.”

Johnson began at Ramey Ford four years ago, having been a staple of the local automotive industry for several years prior. His focus on quality staff and satisfied customers has been a perfect fit for the Ramey organization, propelling them to the top spot for new Ford sales in the Tri-Cities area since he has been at the helm. When asked how he has continued to set a record pace each year despite the current economic situation, Ed replied, “In a buyer’s market, the buyers go where they get treated like someone special, instead of being just another number. You cannot succeed in this economy without going way above and beyond people’s expectations.”

“You could spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on advertising,” he told me, “but nothing is more effective than wordof-mouth. If you treat people fairly, then the word gets out. At Ramey Ford, I think we have found the right formula. From the first greeting with a smile you’ll receive at the front door

General Manager Ed Johnson with Service Manager Carl Hamonds.

Darrell Mullins, Jeff Green, Brian Ratliff, Jeff Troxwell and Ed Johnson outside the dealership.

General Manager Ed Johnson speaks on the telephone with a customer. or in our service department, every one of our employees have been trained to recognize that we exist and have been successful because of all of our customers who come back and who send their friends and family over here because they have had an enjoyable experience in purchasing or servicing a car or truck.”

Johnson said his customers aren’t forgotten after they drive a car off the lot. “Service after the sale is the cornerstone of our business,” he says with a smile. Our sales staff works to establish long-term relationships with their client base. Our customers like knowing that they can call back years after the sale to talk to someone they know if they need anything. We also give a lot of latitude to our service writers to correct problems that may come up after the sale. Sometimes my staff questions my sanity, but I do whatever it takes to treat people the way I would want to be treated. One example of this is that if we are working on your vehicle and you need a loaner you get one. I believe if we are working on your car it’s an inconvenience. You have to have transportation to get back and forth to school or work so I think that is an obligation that we need to take care of. Not all dealers do that and absorb the expense. But, it just goes back to our philosophy

of treating people the way in which you would like to be treated.”

Johnson is somewhat coy when it comes to discussing his commitment to “put back into the community,” not wanting to appear boastful about Ramey’s donations to local schools and organizations, but he stresses that “We recognize that we are a part of this community too, and we try to do our part to make a difference because we have been so blessed. We do a lot of outreach programs with local schools, and also work with community organizations to pay forward the blessings we have received.

When asked about his family, Johnson says, “My wife says her greatest treasures in life are our daughters Lillian and Katelyn.

Spending time with the Lillian and Katelyn is very important to us. We enjoy the outdoors, boating on the lakes, and hunting and fishing.

My girls love 4-wheeling. It’s very important to me that all of my employees get opportunities to spend time with their families as well, because happy employees treat customers better. The people who work here know that they can take off when they have an event or something special going on with their family.

We may have a long work week, but family comes first.”

The Johnson girls enjoy a fishing trip with their Dad.

Ed, Lillian and Katelyn enjoy a summer day together.

Barter at Its Best (Abingdon, Va.) “Every now and then a show comes along and really, and truly, restores our faith in mankind,” said Richard Rose, Barter’s producing artistic director. “Catherine Bush’s adaptation of the Clyde Edgerton’s novel ‘Walking Across Egypt’ does this with humor and characters so relatable, you’ll think you’ve met them before.”

Company and some are from area churches. “Music is so important in Appalachian culture, we knew songs like ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘This Little Light of Mine’ would be a perfect fit. Also, Edgerton wrote the song ‘Walking Across Egypt,’ for the book as it happens to be the title of the lead character’s favorite hymn in the story,” said Rose.

Whether it is in the lobby after a performance, professional reviews or folks on Facebook, everyone who has seen “Walking Across Egypt” is talking about what a wonderfully entertaining show it is.

The story follows Mattie Rigsbee (Mary Lucy Bivins), an older Southern woman with a deeply held faith and a love of taking care of others. Lately, she feels like no one needs her and that she might be slowing down. Her world is turned upside down when she harbors a sullen and rebellious juvenile delinquent, and then, of all things, brings him to church with her!

“It’s the best I’ve seen in years and it’s very funny,” writes Robert McKinney (reviewer for the Bristol Herald Courier). “With Mary Lucy Bivins starring and Eugene Wolf direction, how could it be otherwise?”

Her family, her pastor and her neighbors all think she’s lost her mind. Mattie knows that the right thing to do isn’t necessarily the easiest, or the most popular. She knows she must listen to her heart and do the right thing.

The show was first produced last year as a miniproduction at Stage II during Barter’s Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights. It was met with such tremendous excitement, Richard Rose brought the production to Main Stage to open Barter’s 80th season.

“It really asks you, ‘What would you do in this situation?” says Rose. “I don’t want to give it away, but there’s a moment at the end when audiences literally cheer. It’s a real ‘amen’ moment.”

A full choir was added for scene transitions; some choir members are part of Barter’s Resident Acting

Politics per usual in President Obama’s State of the Union Address

In his fifth State of the Union address, President Obama underscored the importance of creating jobs and promoting economic growth, addressing the upcoming sequester, making investments in education and infrastructure, and passing comprehensive immigration reform. While most can agree these things are important, unfortunately, the president’s speech focused on what divides us as a nation, not what brings us together.

For example, the president blames House Republicans for sequestration, when all along, it was his idea to add these arbitrary cuts as a way of bypassing a debt limit increase until after his reelection. I would still prefer spending cuts that more carefully target wasteful government spending, but we

can’t afford more tax increases. The president talks about balance, but raised taxes during fiscal cliff negotiations without addressing spending. If the president won’t roll up his sleeves, sit down with Congressional leaders and work together on a solution that gets our spending addiction under control, then sequestration will go into effect.

Just last week, the Congressional Budget Office released its budget and economic outlook report for the next decade that predicts that economic growth will stay slow this year. Worse, they predict that unemployment will remain above 7.5 percent. If this comes to pass, 2014 will mark the sixth consecutive year that unemployment has exceeded 7.5 percent—the longest period of high unemployment in the last 70 years. We can’t afford

another year of record high unemployment.

Simply put, America deserves better.

America is, and will always be, the land of opportunity. We’re fortunate to live in a place where our children and grandchildren have the opportunity to attend the best schools in the world, and from there, to go on to college if they so choose.

We’re fortunate to Congressman have safe roads and Phil Roe bridges throughout our country, and we’re fortunate to live in

a country so free and prosperous that people around the world want to try their hand at the American dream.

Investing in the education of our children and grandchildren is important to the future of this great country, but I believe we can do so by placing resources and decisionmaking power in the hands of those who know the education system best: teachers and school administrators. I believe we should invest in roads, bridges and jobcreating infrastructure projects. But first, we need to clear the mountain of regulations standing in the way of their construction.

Regarding the president’s immigration comments, America is a country of immigrants, but also a nation of laws. I look forward to a respectful debate about how

An open invitation to new businesses: Come to Tennessee!

It is hard to run a business. I know. I’ve owned and operated my own business for over 30 years. It takes hard work, organization and just a little bit of luck. And even if you have all the ingredients for success — a solid plan, sufficient capital and talented employees — just one act of the state can torpedo any plans you had for making profit.

Because I understand how difficult it is to own and operate a business, I sympathize with those who find themselves prevented from creating jobs by the very government which is supposed to serve them and their potential employees.

Both Colorado and Maryland are presently considering legislation which would make it very difficult for major employers to continue operations in their state. In Tennessee, of course, we don’t operate that way. In Tennessee, we search for ways to cut red tape for business and seek to create an environment that encourages entrepreneurs to put their capital at risk to create jobs.

For that reason I have sent letters to Magpul, Inc. and Beretta USA inviting them to come to Tennessee. Both companies are considering leaving their states because of the anti-gun, antibusiness posture of their legislatures. As Obamafueled anti-gun hysteria sweeps the nation, too many state governments are capitulating to “skyis-falling” gun control activists motivated by fear rather than knowledge. For too many people, guns are an emotional issue. Reason and reality simply don’t come into play.

Legislation backed by Maryland’s Democratic governor banning assault rifles and high capacity magazines is presently making its way through the legislature. If the Maryland legisla-

Page 12

ture has their way, Beretta USA, a company headquartered in Maryland since 1997, would not be able to sell their own products to any of their 400 employees in the state.

The argument against “assault weapons” of course is a superficial one. What appears to be an assault weapon to one person could be a very critical tool for self defense to another. Most of all, banning assault weapons doesn’t solve any problems.

Guns are rendered useless without someone there to pull the trigger.

It is on that end of the equation where Lt. Gov. we should focus. Passing laws banning guns Ron Ramsey will not stop thugs from breaking yet another law to commit their criminal acts nor will it stop the mentally deranged from acting out against the innocent.

The emotional animosity towards guns is often so strong it causes people to act against their own self-interest. Such is the case in Colorado where legislators are currently considering a bill outlawing high capacity magazines. Colorado gun accessory manufacturer Magpul has responded predictably: they have threatened to pick up stakes and move elsewhere.

And why not? Why stay in a state that does not appreciate the jobs you provide and the economic growth you create. In cooperation with the Department of Economic and Community Development, I have personally contacted

both of these companies and am extending an open call to all firearms companies whose are seen by their state government as an adversary rather than a partner. Tennesseans understand and are overwhelming comfortable with firearms.

I personally carried the bill in 1997 that created the gun permit system we currently have in Tennessee. This session we have passed a law protecting the rights of gun permit holders as they commute to and from work. Put simply, the second Amendment is sacrosanct in Tennessee. With a Governor and legislature that are both pro-Second Amendment and pro-business, Tennessee is simply perfect for a companies like Magpul and Beretta who wish only to manufacture and sell a legal product unmolested by grandstanding gun-control activists.

Tennessee is consistently ranked among the best states in the nation for business. We have no state income tax. We consistently balance our budget funding our basic obligations while keeping taxes and debt low.

We have cut red tape and created a regulatory environment in Tennessee that allows entrepreneurs to create the businesses that grow our economy.

This state sells itself. If other states like Maryland and Colorado do not value companies like Beretta and Magpul, I can think of no better place for them to thrive and survive than Tennessee.

I look forward to continuing to make Tennessee a magnet not only for gun manufacturers but for all companies looking for a place that understands how to treat job creators.

we can continue to nurture our immigrant spirit without encouraging our laws to be broken.

We have a great set of challenges ahead, but I believe the heart of America is strong.

I believe our best days are ahead of us. The president’s speech tonight should have encouraged Americans to come together, but instead, he used his podium to push an ideological agenda. I am still hopeful President Obama will negotiate in good faith to put America back on the path to prosperity. Our future depends on it.

Among the “grown-ups,” we teenagers are commonly known for our inability to drive at reasonable speeds. Granted, we are less experienced than some of our seniors, but not everyone under the age of 20 drives like a competitor in Grand Torino. There are those of us who are often made fun of for driving 35 pretty much everywhere we go. But there’s nothing wrong with being cautious right? Well some teenagers do have a need for speed, even at a young age, which is where racing becomes a potential outlet. Hayden Woods, a Piney Flats resident, began racing ATV 4-wheelers when he was only 6 years old, motocross at the age of 7, and progressed to legend cars and late models at 15. Woods, now 17, races a full-bodied Late Model Stock Ford Fusion sporting a No. 87 in short Carrie track races at the Kingsport Speedway, and led NASCAR Whelen All-American Series National Williams Rookie Points in May of 2012. “Racing isn’t just about flooring gas pedals and turning left. The hardest part of racing is the preparation. There’s the pre-race auto prep, which takes about a week in the shop, but there’s also the getting there. You don’t just wake up a racer, you become one through hard work and drive.”

Woods aspires to become a full-time NASCAR driver, and if he keeps up the good work, he will be well on his way. The racing industry itself thrives on its fans, and NASCAR is no exception. While the Roman Colosseum was designed to hold 50,000 spectators, the Bristol Motor Speedway is able to hold 165,000, making it the largest ampitheatre in the world.

That’s quite a few more fans than a high school football game! This year, as part of the Sprint Cup Series, thousands of race enthusiasts will be coming to watch the Food City 500 at BMS Sunday, March 17th. Since 1961, NASCAR competitors and fans alike have gathered in Bristol to enjoy this 266.5 mile race, sponsored by Food City. We remember famous racers like Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, but we often forget how they started out in the racing world, much like Hayden Woods and many others. Racing might seem like it’s all about driving fast and turning left 500 times, but let’s be real. If that were true, your grandmother could be a NASCAR driver. Racing, like many other competitive sports, is about hard work, experience, and determination, which is part of the reason that so many people are moved by the sport.

Can Brad Keselowski grab third Bristol Cup win on March race weekend?

Food City 500 kicks off another big year at BMS Bristol, TN — Defending Sprint Cup champ Brad Keselowski has always had a special affinity for Bristol Motor Speedway — even before he conquered the World’s Fastest Half-Mile.

That tends to happen to NASCAR drivers who grow up visualizing themselves taming what is one of the most physically and mentally demanding tracks on the circuit with the end result a trip to the BMS victory lane.

They view the half-mile concrete monster as a Bucket List type of track. If they can win at Bristol, they know they’ve really done something special.

They know they didn’t luck into the victory, and they know success only comes at Bristol by using their heads, being tough and by being able to withstand the mental challenges of such close quarters racing with 42 other drivers on such a small piece of real estate.

“When I won my first race here (Nationwide Series) in 2008, I felt like I had really done something,” said Keselowski. “Winning at Bristol puts you in a special place. It’s not an easy place to race so when you do win here you know you’ve really done something.”

After that August event, Keselowski was so in awe of the moment that he refused to let his winner’s trophy out of his sight, carrying it with him from victory lane to his post-race press conference.

Fast-forward several years and Keselowski had one-upped himself at BMS, capturing the 2011 IRWIN Tools Night Race. Afterward, he was overjoyed.

“Wow — the night race at Bristol!” he said. “I used to watch Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt win this race. This is a race of champions.

I can’t believe it. There’s races that pay more, but this is the coolest one of them all.”

And then he returned last March to find himself sitting in the exact same spot — in victory lane — after the Food City 500.

“What can I say? I love Bristol and Bristol loves me,” said Keselowski. “The goal at Penske Racing is to win a Sprint Cup championship, and one win certainly doesn’t achieve that, but it’s a great step.”

And then he went right out and won the 2012 Sprint Cup championship.

Keselowski will have his chance to get off to the same kind of championship start on March 17 as he goes for back-to-back wins in the Food City 500.

As usual, the first short track race of the season will be long on fun and entertainment and with St.

Patrick’s Day falling on Cup race day, there’s even more to be excited about.

The weekend kicks off March 15 with Sharpie qualifying and then heats up Saturday, March 16 with a doubleheader that features Jeff Foxworthy’s Grit Chips 300-lap Nationwide Series race and the K&N Pro Series 125. As part of the St. Patrick’s Day celebration, a post-race party, with live music and plenty of other activities, will take place in the hospitality area.

The K&N Series has developed a number of Sprint Cup drivers and crew chiefs, including Joey Logano, Ricky Craven, Steve Park, Greg Zipadelli, Richard “Slugger” Labbe and Frankie

Stoddard.

And the great news about Saturday’s races is fans get twice the action for the price of one ticket. Starting at just $45, fans can take in both the Nationwide Series event and the K&N race.

Practice and qualifying highlight a jampacked Ford Fan Friday on March 15. Qualifying for the Food City 500 takes place, along with practice for both the Nationwide and K&N races.

Also on tap Friday evening is one of the largest fan events in the sport, Food City Race Night, which takes place in the hospitality area at BMS. The Charlie Daniels Band highlights Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day party with a pre-race concert taking place on-track in the BMS infield.

NASCAR’s second visit to BMS is highlighted by the IRWIN Tools Night Race Aug. 24, which caps a big week of night racing that begins on Wednesday with a doubleheader.

The UNOH 200 Camping World Truck Series, which has always offered up some of the biggest thrills of the weekend, takes place Wednesday, Aug. 21, along with the Whelen Modified race.

Thursday night all is quiet on the track but there’s plenty going on outside the track, including the Ford/BMS Transporter Parade and Food City Race Night in downtown Bristol.

Friday night the Nationwide Series’ brightest stars will do battle in the Food City 250, followed

by NASCAR’s most popular race on Saturday night, the IRWIN Tools Night Race.

Tickets are available to all events and may be purchased by calling 1-866-415-4158 toll free or by visiting www.bristoltix.com.

New car to make short track debut at Food City 500 Bristol, TN. — When the Sprint Cup Series competitors take to the track for the March 17 Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, their chariots will boast a whole new look. A look that fans, drivers, teams and NASCAR have eagerly awaited.

Greater manufacturer identification, new unique styling cues and a return to more aggressive racing are what NASCAR hints as the end result for what they are calling the “Generation 6” stock car.

Obviously, the number one goal in motorsports is to constantly find a way to go faster. Through this progression, cars have evolved from the everyday grocery getter to specially engineered and meticulously designed speed machines.

In the early days of NASCAR, cars like the Ford Galaxie, the “Fabulous” Hudson Hornet, and even convertibles, were driven to the track, entered in the event, and driven home…if the owner was lucky.

From there, the focus on safety, and one-upmanship, saw the NASCAR stock car transform into a purpose-built machine with roll cages and chassis built by greats like Holman-Moody, Banjo Matthews and Hutcheson-Pagan. Ford Torinos, Dodge Daytonas and Dodge Chargers ruled in this time of aerodynamics and sheer muscle. NASCAR stock cars downsized in 1981, going to a 110” wheelbase, to more closely resemble what was happening in dealership showrooms. The cars continuously morphed until 2007, when NASCAR introduced the Car of Tomorrow here at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 25.

Opinions varied on the CoT, and

NASCAR officials began looking for ways to change the car. For 2013, NASCAR and the manufacturers have worked together to create the new Sprint Cup Series stock car, a car that everyone agrees should enhance competition and add excitement to the season. The new car, after extensive testing, makes its muchanticipated debut at Bristol during the Food City 500.

To separate the new car from its predecessor, fans will not have to look

hard. While the previous generation cars featured similar bodywork, with only decals to distinguish the different makes, the new cars have manufacturer-unique body panels to make the cars look more like their street-going counterparts.

In addition to the new sheet metal, several design characteristics have made it in to the cars’ unique paint schemes.

First, fans can easily identify drivers thanks to each competitor’s name written across the top of the windshield. Additionally, sponsor decals are no longer permitted on the headlights and taillights, two areas manufacturers asked to keep free of decal clutter because these spots set each marque apart from its rivals.

Car numbers, which historically have been on the headlights and taillights, will be moved lower to the front and rear bumpers. A single sponsor logo will be permitted on the roof, running along the top edge of the rear window.

Sponsor decals located on the rear quarter-panels will now extend past the front edge of the b-post, the middle section of sheet metal which runs from the car’s side to its roof.

Due to the more aggressive and contoured nature of the new car, less room is available on the body for artwork. For this reason, the car number size is reduced by 10%, while the area for contingency decals is reduced to 26 square inches.

NASCAR’s next generation begins now. Fans should visit BMS March 15-17 to see the newly-redesigned cars when they hit the high banks of the “World’s Fastest Half-Mile.”

SATURDAY, MARCH 23RD AT 7:00PM MANDY BARNETT Do you remember those soft sounds of country music back in the days of Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves, when artists sung their songs their way? No managers, no labels, no PR companies were involved with the way a song was performed, it was just an extension of the emotions found in the artist’s life and it showed. In those times, one could feel the music, the passion, the song just sounded like life. The Paramount Center will feature such an artist performing the songs from that area in a rare one night engagement. Worldclass vocalist Mandy Barnett’s style is rooted in the classic country of Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Tammy Wynette, and Brenda Lee and the crooning of Ella Fitzgerald, Connie Francis, and Dinah Washington.

Tickets: $22.00

Forgotten civil rights activist focus of film

Daisy Bates

In 1957, Daisy Bates became a household name when she fought for the right of nine black students to attend the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., but her fame would prove fleeting. Mary B. Martin School of the Arts presents Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock with Director and Producer, Sharon La Cruise as part of the South Arts Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers at ETSU’s Martha Street Culp Auditorium Monday, March 18 at 7 p.m.

After the free screening, La Cruise and the audience will engage in a discussion about the film and her work as a filmmaker.

A reception will follow.

Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock tells the story of a seven-year journey by La Cruise, to unravel the life of the forgotten civil rights activist. As head of the Arkansas NAACP and protector of the students known as the Little Rock Nine, Daisy Bates would achieve instant fame as the drama played out on national television and in newspapers around the world. This documentary travels with Bates on her long and lonely walk from orphaned child to newspaperwoman to national figure to her last days in Little Rock.

O’Callahan to take audience on voyage To conclude its three-part “When World Collide” storytelling series, Mary B. Martin School of the Arts presents author and storyteller Jay O’Callahan, with his tale “The Spirit of the Great Auk” Thursday, March 28, at 7:30 p.m. in ETSU’s Culp Auditorium.

The tale recreates Dick Wheeler’s 1,500-mile kayak voyage from Newfoundland to Buzzards Bay, following the path of the now-extinct Great Auk bird. “Along his journey, Wheeler learned about concerns of fishermen for the pollution in the sea and potential extinction of many other sea species because of over-harvesting,” MBM SOTA Director Anita DeAngelis says. “As it turns out, we didn’t learn many lessons from the extinction of the Great Auk. This is going to be a story that is very insightful, and I expect it to be a wonderful experience.”

Following the performance, O’Callahan and special guest DickWheeler will hold a question-andanswer session. For more, go to www. etsu.edu/cas/arts or www.ocallahan. com or call General $15 Tickets 423-439for ‘The Senior $10 Spirit of the All Students 8587.

HealthPLUS & Pharmacy Committed to its customers and patients

Johnson City, TN. --- Trish Tanner, Corporate Director, Consumer Health Services, talked recently about Mountain States Health Alliance Health Plus & Pharmacy commitment to its patients. “We play a critical role to the patient when offering pharmacy services,” she said. “Our goal for the patient when he or she leaves the hospital for home is that they don’t have to search all over town for a specialty item or a hard-to-find prescription.

With seven locations in the region, we represent a one stop shop. And, communication is key when it comes time for the patient to make the transition from the hospital to home. We want them to know we are here for them and we are committed to following up

with them in an effort to make sure their needs are met.”

“That’s why we specialize in helping you maintain your overall wellness and offer personalized service to keep you healthy,” added Anthony Hammonds, MSHA Retail Operations Director.

“We also work with the drug companies on a variety of programs designed to assist those [especially the elderly and people on fixed incomes] who made need financial assistance in paying for their medicines. We pride ourselves in building relationships with our patients to meet their needs and achieve their goals.”

Tanner emphasized the pharmacists and support team members who work within the Mountain States Health Alliance Health

Plus& Pharmacy system are very approachable.

“Health Plus is in essence a retail pharmacy and service concept that improves the MSHA model of care ensuring patients have the tools and support needed to successfully attain healthy outcomes,” she said matter-of-factly.

“We are interested in personalized care one-on-one with our patients.”

Tanner added that the goals of Health Plus included: improving the transitions of care process for patients, ensure that patients and their families have the tools and support needed leading to a healthy recovery.

“Health Plus provides patients coordinated transition experience by ensuring they have first dose

of medications, medical products and supply upon discharge from our acute facilities,” she says.

Those comprehensive offerings include: Outpatient pharmacy (discharge meds, OTCs, nutrition, home medical equipment and supplies); Free Standing HealthPlus & Pharmacy Locations throughout the region (medication therapy management, free medication delivery, home infusion services and collaboration with DME for delivery); Cancer Clinic (delivery of discharge medications, breast prosthesis and bras, collaboration with DME for delivery, items for oncology support and gifts, oncology supplies); and MSHA team members assisting with (employee prescription benefit

optimization, medication delivery program, wellness and health management).

“So you can see our approach is well rounded and systematic in that we enhance the transition from hospital to clinic or home,” Tanner added. “We have expanded the continuum of care offered and allowed for the exposure to all our services in an effort to improve efficiencies and increase opportunities to serve and support our patients. Another goal is to decrease readmissions for vulnerable patients by improving the discharge/transition processes, including reconciliation and provide a vehicle for addressing additional resources that are available for patients needing payment assistance.”

MSHA moves forward on Unicoi County Hospital plans Erwin, TN. — It seems it’s only a matter of paper work and a required legal timetable before the reality of a new hospital in Unicoi County comes to fruition.

At last month’s quarterly Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Mountain States Health Alliance President/CEO Dennis Vonderfecht provided insight into the process of making the new hospital a reality, after the Unicoi County Memorial Hospital Board of Control recently picked the organization over Wellmont Health System to take over management of the local hospital.

When built, Unicoi County Memorial Hospital with become the 14th hospital in the MSHA system pending, what appears to be, routine approval from the Tennessee Attorney General’s office by spring.

MSHA is in negotiations to purchase 45 acres of land off I26 near the Holiday Inn Express in the South end of the county and expects to be open for business in about four years. Meanwhile, MSHA will invest about $4 million in the old hospital in an effort to have it run efficiently until the new facility

Above: Members of the Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce gather for their quarterly meeting. Right: MSHA President/CEO Dennis Vonderfecht makes a point. is built.

Vonderfecht said the location of the new Unicoi County Memorial Hospital will not only be very convenient to the residents of Erwin and Unicoi County but attractive to people living just a short distance across the line in North Carolina.

Over the past month, MSHA hosted bus tours to several of its regional hospitals including Smyth County Community Hospital near Abingdon, VA which [size wise] seems to fit what Unicoi’s new hospital might look like. However, Vonderfecht emphasized each MSHA facility is unique in its own way.

“We do not put a cookie-cutter approach to a hospital,” he said. “We could build one really quickly but we don’t think that’s what our communities want. We involve community leaders in helping us identify what services are needed, then [we] design the facility around those services.”

The Era of the ‘Studio Indie’ By: Toby Laek, Producer, Daytime Tri-Cities

I

n the past decade or so a new genre of film has come to prominence. It’s a genre I refer to as Studio Indie. Studio Indies are movies that have the quirky sensibilities of independent films, but have the polished production value and star power of big budget studio films. They’re usually “smaller,” human-driven films (in other words the plots don’t rely on special effects or action to attract audiences) that have a healthy dose of humor, emotional-but-subtle acting, and oftentimes a memorable soundtrack. Sometimes these turn out great like year’s Oscar darling, “Silver Linings Playbook.” Sometimes they turn out less-than-great like Juno (which I liked upon initial viewing, but since found gratingly irritating with its over-the-top and unnatural attempt at clever dialog).

Here’s a few of my favorite “Studio Indies.”

Garden State Garden State — Scrubs star Zach Braff’s directorial debut was probably the world’s big introduction to this type of film and set the initial standard for the Studio Indie genre. Braff and co-star Natalie Portman were extremely endearing as the film’s central couple and the soundtrack let the world in on one of the independent music scene’s

Little Miss Sunshine Safety Not Guaranteed best kept secrets, The Shins.

Safety Not Guaranteed — This film, with three leads best known for their roles in sitcoms (Aubrey Plaza from “Parks & Rec”, Mark Duplass from “The League,” and Jake Johnson from “The New Girl”), came out of nowhere to be one of my favorites of 2012. The plot revolves around Duplass’ character Kenneth, who places a ‘want ad’ in the magazine that Plaza’s and Johnson’s characters work for.

He’s looking for someone to join him in time travel.

Plaza and Johnson go undercover to find out if Kenneth is of sound mind. The film is funny, sad, and triumphant in all the right parts. Definitely an underthe-radar gem worth watching.

Little Miss Sunshine — This is the film that proved that Steve Carell could effectively play something other than a loveable, but awkwardly-out-of-touch-with-reality type of character (as he did so well in “The Office” and “40 Year Old Virgin”).

Carell plays a severely depressed man who moved in with his sister’s dysfunctional family. They decide to make a road trip to the ‘Little Miss Sunshine Pageant,’ where the family’s youngest child (played by remarkable child-actress Abigail Breslin) will compete. Along the way, each character is given a great moment of epiphany or self-discovery. At times uncomfortable, it ends up very satisfying.

Ghost World

Ghost World — Thora Birch (who later starred in American Beauty) and Scarlett Johansson (who later went on to star in basically everything else) made their first Hollywood waves in this off beat film based on a graphic novel. They star as a pair of ‘unpopular-but-don’t-care’ high school graduates, who were inseparable though school, but are faced with growing apart as they grow up and have to enter adulthood. Steve Buscemi is great as the kind-of sad/kind-of creepy middle-aged guy who becomes friends with Birch’s character.

While it’s not always satisfying and cheerful, it’s always funny and poignant and does very well portraying the insecurity of growing up without the safety net of the people on whom you’ve always relied.
