The Southwest Virginia Museum Historical State Park is pleased to present their second annual Teacher Workshop on Wednesday and Thursday, July 18 and 19, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day. The workshop will cover material that aligns directly with the Virginia Social Studies Curriculum Framework. Using place-based education, teachers will learn different ways to use children’s literature and have their students analyze historical sources (images and artifacts). Museum staff will lead a tour of the museum, demonstrate how to use the collections to aid in teaching, and introduce their new “Museum in a Minute” kits that can be used by teachers in the classroom. K-8 teachers who teach social studies will earn 12 recertification credits. Handouts and sample lesson plans will be provided. Lunch will not be provided, but teachers will have an hour each day for a lunch break.

This event is free; the deadline to sign up is July 12. Limit of 15 people; reserve a place by calling the park at 276-523-1322. The award-winning Virginia State Parks are managed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.

& Décor

I wondered why the proprietor, Anne Middleton-Estep, decided to call her store Fringe. Turns out that this is the perfect place to find those items you need – with a little something extra, something special, not something ordinary. They are first and foremost a design store whether you need a house, a room or a piece of furniture or maybe even that can’t miss acces-

sory. Anne, Christy, & Brittany are the right people to talk to about any or all your wants and needs. Anne is well educated and well versed in the designer trade; she opened her first business in Knoxville in 1990. Becoming an Elizabethton native at the age of 8, she grew up knowing our area (plus a stint at ETSU), and it shows in her really cool items, some from the Norwalk Custom Furniture people. Stop by and say hello – and be prepared to be wowed! Fringe is located at 155 E Mountcastle Dr. in Johnson City. By: Paul Kavanaugh

Most women over fifty would be happy to have thicker hair, smoother skin and/or stronger nails. Production of “collagen”, a structural protein that is integral in the formation of a matrix of cells in these tissues, begins to wane with age. A decline in hair volume, skin elasticity and nail strength will then become apparent. For years, scientists have been searching for a method to help spark the regeneration of collagen production. Their research led to the discovery of “ch-OSA”, a naturally-occurring compound found in BioSil, which activates the body’s actual collagen-generating cells known as fibroblasts. In clinical trials, BioSil was found to increase both hair thickness and strength by 13%, reduce fine lines and wrinkles in the skin by 30% and improve elasticity of the skin by 89%. Integrity of the nails was also noticeably improved. BioSil has made many women we know happy with their results. As always, we guarantee your satisfaction.

Most people think living an “outdoor lifestyle” is mainly for fun and following a pursuit of passion. Or perhaps people are lazy and just an “outdoor bum.” While both of these can be true, whether you’re following your love of the outdoors or living the life of a ski bum, you can actually live longer by living your authentic outdoor lifestyle. Pretty cool, huh? An outdoor lifestyle can be interpreted in many different ways. It could be someone who just loves the outdoors and spends as much time as possible in the moguntains and nature. It could be someone who lives as natural a lifestyle possible that is friendly for our ecosystem. It could be the extreme adventurer that is traveling to the ends of the Earth for climbing and mountain pursuits. It could be the average ski bum who is a powder seeker, chasing freshies all winter long. Either way, what these people have in common is that because of their passion for the outdoors, they all experience increased happiness, less stress, better diets and more exercise than the average American – all factors that contribute to a longer life span. Below, we’ll break each of these down and the positive impacts of your outdoor lifestyle can have on your actual years living on this Earth.

Exercise

A key part of outdoor recreation is exercise, whether it by hiking, trail running, climbing, kayaking or skiing. Exercise has been proven over time to greatly improve your chances of living longer. The health benefits of exercise are endless, including reduced risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels and smaller waistlines.

Less Stress

One of the main reasons why people spend time outdoors is that it’s peaceful and an escape from the typical day-to-day. This helps us let go of the daily stress our lives have, including hectic work schedules, home responsibilities and interpersonal tensions. Besides heart disease, too much stress can have all sorts of negative impacts on your wellbeing. This includes, anxiety, depression, headaches and gastrointestinal problems.

Especially with the children, rain or heat can really put a damper on outdoor activities. Never fear, there is plenty to do inside that will still get them out of the house and engaged in an activity. Movies are obvious, and there are some summer blockbusters out there that most kids will want to see. But there is other stuff – jump places, When you’re stressed, your body billiard halls, museums like Hands produces hormones adrenaline On! Or maybe the planetarium. and cortisol, which increase blood One cool idea is to do something pressure as well as alter your creative. For example, Kiln Time in digestive and immune systems. downtown Bristol offers one and These hormones can also cause you three-day kids camps that get them to gain weight. involved in painting, ornament making, ceramic creations, etc. It’s fun – just ask my wife!

Well, happiness has often been a link Skillville in Johnson City. Give one of these fine establishments a try – to increased longevity, so you’re on the kids will love it. the right track to living longer! CNN discusses a five-year study that shows older people are 35% less likely to die if they report feeling happy. Who wouldn’t want a 35% leg up on life?

Better Diet

What we put into our bodies is essentially fuel. Don’t you want to put in the best fuel possible? Studies have shown that typically more active individuals have better diets and smaller waistlines. Therefore, healthier and better functioning bodies all around. Studies have shown that certain diets can increase your chances for longevity. This includes many of the same foods that are helpful for sustained activity, including whole grains, fresh fruits, coffee and healthy proteins, such as fish and nuts. These are all heart healthy foods that can help your endurance in outdoor sports, but also live longer. So, go outside. Look up. Enjoy the outdoors. You’ll live longer! Keep reading throughout this week’s issue. We’re gunna give you some ideas on what to do.

What if it’s Raining – or Just Too Hot Outside?

JURASSIC PARK

theloaferonline.com | July 3, 2018

Pop Life

By Ken Silvers ksilvers@ theloaferonline.com

I will never forget the first time I saw the film “Jurassic Park” in 1993 at a theater in Asheville, NC. I had read the novel the movie was based on, so I was excited to see how filmmakers would translate the thrilling novel to the big screen. Even though many parts of the book were omitted from the movie, I was thrilled with the results I witnessed. The dinosaurs were amazing, and the film was filled with excitement and awe. I certainly hope you have been able to see the original film on the big screen, if not you have the opportunity to see the latest dinosaur adventure in the new film “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”, a direct sequel to the 2015 release “Jurassic World.” The new film is the second in a planned trilogy of “Jurassic World” stories, and this film takes us back to the fictional island of Isla Nublar, which was abandoned at the end of “JW”. The character of Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) has created a Dinosaur Protection Group to save the animals from the impending volcanic eruption on Isla Nublar. When the U.S. Senate rules against their rescue, Claire is contacted by John Hammonds’s (one of the founders of the original park) former partner Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell) who has a plan to rescue the dinosaurs. Lockwood and his aide Eli Mills (Rafe Spall) have a plan to relocate the dinosaurs to a new island sanctuary. Mills is concerned about catching Blue, the last living Velociraptor, and convinces Claire she must get help from Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), the guy who trained and raised Blue and her fellow Velocirpators, to help catch her. Claire and Owen head to the island with the rescue group, only to find a very angry volcano that appears only minutes from exploding and destroying the island and the dinosaur population unless they work fast. Once the mercenaries begin capturing the dinosaurs, and eventually Blue, Owen and Claire, along with their helper IT tech Justice Smith (Franklin Webb), discover all is not going as they planned. Eventually, the group, along with the dinosaurs make it to the Lockwood estate where they are caged. I will not spoil why they are caged, but at this point the film basically changes into a horror film. The film also cranks up the intensity once the dinosaurs are at their new home, and the dinosaurs, as usual with these films, are wreaking havoc and using the nearest human for a quick lunch. The story also features a kid, Masie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon), the granddaughter of Benjamin, so Claire and Owen will have a child to protect from the dinosaurs. After all, these films always need a screaming juvenile for good measure. The film

also features a brand new “created” dinosaur, that is certainly the most fierce and smart of the dinosaurs featured in these films. Dr. Henry Wu (B.D. Wong), as seen in “JW” and “JP” is responsible for the new creature, and is his usual villainous self. Director J.A. Bayona (“The Orphanage”) keeps the thrills and chills coming, and even though the film runs 129 minutes, the fast pace of the story kept me enthralled. The actors are all wonderful, with Pratt leading with his expected witty dialogue, and at times it feels like his character of Star-Lord from “Guardians of the Galaxy” is carried over to this film. Thankfully, Howard does not have to run in heels in this film as she did in the first “JW” effort, and has sensible shoes for running. Despite all the strong actors in this film, we all know the real stars are the dinosaurs, and they deliver on all levels. The CGI dinosaurs, some created via animatronics, improve with each film, and let’s confess we go to these movies to see humans run from dinosaurs. “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” features all of the aforementioned running, along with screaming and dinosaur fights. Be sure to stay until the very end of the credits for a brief bonus scene. Dinosaurs still rule the Earth in the world of cinema. (Rated PG-13) Not recommended for small children ****(out of 4)

Join us at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum for an evening of old-fashioned square dancing and fun on Saturday, July 7 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.! There will be lively, toe-tapping music to get your feet moving and caller Tyler Hughes will lead the evening’s festivities. No partner or previous square dancing experience is necessary, just the desire to have a great night out! “We’ve been talking about doing a square dance here at the museum for a while and finally had a free space in our schedule for the Special Exhibits Gallery this summer,” says Head Curator Rene Rodgers. “This will be our first event of this kind, and we are excited to partner with Tyler and to welcome dancers of all ages and experience to the museum for a wonderfully fun night out. I’ve got my dancing shoes ready!” Tyler Hughes hails from Big Stone Gap, Virginia where he began learning the traditions of mountain music and dance at age 12. He performs regularly, but also dedicates time to teaching through private lessons, camps (he is an instructor at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum’s Pick Along Summer Camp), and a variety of music classes as an adjunct professor at Mountain Empire Community College. Tyler is an accomplished square dance caller and also took the third-place ribbon in clogging/flatfooting at the Morehead Old-Time Festival in 2015. As a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Hughes has performed across the Southeast as a soloist and with several

bands including the East Tennessee State University Old Time Pride Band, Fifthstring, and the Empty Bottle String Band. Tyler holds a Bachelor of Arts in Bluegrass, Old Time, and Country Music Studies from East Tennessee State University and has studied traditional music here in Appalachias and overseas in Ireland and Scotland. He is an instructor at the Mountain Music School in Big Stone Gap and has worked with the Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM) program to incorporate the teaching of traditional music and dance to youth in the public school system. The square dance is free and open to the public, though guests are asked to register their interest in the event so staff will know how many to expect on the night. Donations are greatly appreciated! The square dance will be held in the museum’s Special Exhibits Gallery, and therefore participants are asked to wear sturdy, comfortable, no-scuff shoes (no heels, please!) to protect the wooden floor. For more information or to register for the Square Dance, visit the events page at BirthplaceOfCountryMusic.org.

Stargazers of all kinds enjoy following sky phenomenon on the Internet, and it is on the websites that news spreads quickly as posts of what’s happening overhead can rival the political and pop culture trends that dominate Facebook, Twitter, etc. A rare photo of a “Steve” trail of eerie light or a fence row of “Red Sprites” erupting from a thunderstorm like Roman candles can go viral among the astro-nerd community. What’s a “Steve” and “Red Sprites” you say? Steve is a relative new phenomenon that is a stream of plasma light spanning the sky like a river. It was thought to a form of aurora different because they are spread around in the shape of curtains, rays or arcs, where Steve is linear and not as vibrant. Steve appears as a very narrow arc extending for hundreds or thousands of miles, aligned east-west across more than one-third of the sky. Steve generally lasts for 20 minutes to an hour. As of March 2018, Steve has only been spotted in the presence of an aurora.

There’s more fireworks than meets the eye if one looks beyond the Roman candles and sparklers of Independence Day and into some dazzling, mysterious lights of the night sky.

Sprites may have been seen for centuries but left unrecorded until the recent digital camera boom. They are usually red and are come kind of eruption above thunderclouds, captured in rows of red sprays reaching far into space. Their cause is a mystery as a huge electrical discharge shoots a plasma spaceward, similar to a florescent tube.

You might have to make a special trip to the arctic to see a couple stellar fireworks, and another can be dangerous to view, but you’ll be rewarded with amazing views of sky phenomenon called “Steve,” “Noctilucent Clouds” and “Sprites.”

Stargazer

By Mark Marquette since 1996 stargazermarq@ gmail.com

Our celestial fireworks can’t leave out the auroras at the North and South Poles, a regular, dazzling sight to those in the Arctic regions. Actual particles of the Sun that interact with our magnetic field, aurora is sometimes seen in the mid-latitudes of America, but a familiar sky show for our Canadian neighbors. In today’s cell-photo society, I’ve often remarked that where are all the UFO photos? Now that everyone has a camera within arm’s length on our phones we should be seeing UFOs all over the place. There doesn’t seem to be a big proliferation of photos of Flying Saucers or Little Green Men. I share that observation because today’s easy-to-use, supersensitive digital cameras, several interesting night sky phenomena you’re not familiar with are being “discovered” and documented frequently. I’m talking about the night lights similar to aurora called “Steve” and Noctilucent Clouds (NLCs). And there is a thunderstorm phenomenon called “Sprites” that people are documenting shooting up to the sky out of the top of storm clouds. Meteors, the polar auroras and occasional comets are the most common objects seen in the nighttime since the dawn of man. Of course, meteors are tiny fragments of cosmic debris slamming into the Earth’s atmosphere and burning up. Comets are icy interlopers millions of miles away whipping around the Sun to return to edge of the Solar System 10 billion miles away. Auroras are the rarified reaction of our Sun’s stellar winds that intermingle at the north and south poles with Earth’s magnetic field. There is also the various arc, tangents and circles we see around the Sun and Moon from time to time, all created by super-cold crystals in Earth’s atmosphere. And there can be some unusual cloud formations occasionally seen in all kinds of weather—there are always surprises to those diligent about looking up. A great website to keep up with what’s up—and give you a daily glimpse at our Sun’s surface and solar storms—is www.spaceweather.com. It is an invaluable resource to current aurora storms, sunspots and meteor showers—and keeps tabs on cosmic radiation, Near-Earth asteroids and lots more “space weather” affecting our human abode. Everyday there are dozens of new photos of the Sun, Moon and planets posted from amateur astronomers and sky watchers all around the world. And there are special galleries of aurora photos, not only beautiful but educational as to photo composition and technique as most images have exposure data. If you make it to the website (and why wouldn’t you?), SpaceWeather.com has several links to serious tutorials about sky phenomenon, including a great section on daytime “sun pillars,” “sun dogs” and night time “lunar halos.”

Today’s digital cameras are a big factor in capturing sky phenomenon like never before. The fast speeds of camera sensitivity, called ISO, in the ranges of 2,000-10,000-plus were unheard of just 20 years ago when 400 ISO film was the norm and only 800, 1000, 1600 and 3200 ISO were the only “fast” film available. Today’s quick camera speed allows exposure of night scenes without blurring, and better control of telescope images of the Moon and planets. So, photographing “Sprites” has become a sort of amateur photographer’s “Bucket List” of illusive images. The technique is to look high above thunderstorms for the red flashes upward like fireworks. Behind high in a mountain looking down on a storm, or in flat terrain like America’s Great Plains are ideal situations to watch the action of a thunderstorm and wait— safely and with regard to your photo equipment’s weather worthiness. Another rare sky sight that has become popular to look for are the NLCs, a night cloud that are truly a puzzling phenomenon and confined to the arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Described as “blue, electric tendrils slithering across the night,” these noctilucent clouds might be dust of burned meteorites, or maybe some kind of cosmic dust that permeates the Solar System. NLCs are thought to be seasonal in the Summer when they are reflected 70-100 miles high over the North Pole. There are several atmospheric NASA satellites that monitoring NLCs, aurora and more. Noctilucent Clouds, Steve, Red Sprites—all illusive sights, and true celestial fireworks. Heck, I’ve never seen any of the three, but I’ll keep looking up!

SATURDAY AT

This isn’t your typical fundraiser. First of all, it is kid-centric, featuring face painting, kids wading pools, water balloon fights, a DJ (Adam Capps of Elite Entertainment) playing music the kids want to hear and, of course, the ubiquitous cornhole games. As a special treat, there is a dunk tank with several interesting folks taking part. Even Paul Kavanaugh from The Loafer will be there after 3:00. Come take your best shot! It’s all for a good cause. His name in Kingston Baker, and he is at St. Jude battling leukemia. There have been a number of events around town to help raise money for the family in their time of need. Quaker Steak is donating 20% of all food purchases on the patio to the cause as well as providing the venue at no cost. Many other volunteers are pitching in to do what they can to make this a great day for the kiddies. They are setting up a table where kids can create their own card to send to Kingston. It will be a fun day, rain or shine. Come on out with the family and take part; you’ll be glad you did!

Country Music Meets Opera AT BARTER THEATRE STAGE II

ABINGDON, Va.— Barter Theatre presents “Madame Buttermilk” beginning June 7 running through August 11. With the original playwright out of Lexington, Kentucky, this thrilling mix of country music and opera graces the stage for the first time ever at Barter Theatre Stage II. See agents clash, people panic, and singers erupt at the worst possible moments in one of the funniest musicals you will ever experience. “Madame Buttermilk” comes to life through Barter’s Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights and follows a struggling opera singer who’s dream is misinterpreted by her manager, and finds herself singing in a country band at a state fair. “There a lot of love about this world premier musical comedy” said Nicholas Piper, director of “Madame Buttermilk”. “From the clever songs and writing, to the hilarious and brilliant conceit bringing together the two seemingly separate worlds of opera and country music. But my favorite thing about `Madame Buttermilk’ is that, although set in the present day, it feels like it comes from another time. Ross Carter created the play, while Mark Hayes created orchestra and vocal arrangements. “Madame Buttermilk” is made possible by sponsors Joe and Donna LeVine and the National Endowment for the Arts. To purchase tickets, please visit bartertheatre.com or call 276-628-3991. Tickets for all performances of “Madame Buttermilk” begin at just $20.

Criterion follows up that release this month with Water’s 1974 film “Female Trouble,” his follow up to the notorious “Pink Flamingos.” “Female Trouble” stars his muse Divine and other regulars from the Waters repertory including Mink Stole, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Edith Massey, and Cookie Muller. “Female Trouble” is Waters’ VERY warped take on both melodrama and the 1950s juvenile delinquent film. In many ways, it’s everything the “ABC After-school Special” wishes it could have been.

ters is talking about his own work or someone else’s, it’s a delight to listen to the man talk movies. A reel of alternate takes and deleted scenes are included, plus excerpts from the film “I Am Divine” that discuss the making of “Female Trouble.” Rare behind the scenes footage of the film being made is included as well. For fans of the film and Waters’ catalog, this is an essential release for your collection. Criterion always does the best job with their titles, be it a John Waters film made for $25,000 or a major motion picture by Alfred Hitchcock. The Criterion Collection’s new blu-ray of “Female Trouble” is a fantastic release from top to bottom. Recommended for fans of Waters’ work. The film is currently streaming on FilmStruck too if you want to wade into the Waters of, um, John Waters, before diving head first into the pool. I hope Criterion will continue to do more films from his catalog, as I’d like to see a blu-ray of “Polyester”—complete with the scratch and sniff scent cards for the full experience. See you next week.

Divine plays Dawn Davenport, a teenager who only wants a pair of “cha-cha heels” for Christmas. When Dawn’s festive dreams are crushed, she runs away from home and starts down a path of crime that leads her right to the big house. Along the way, Dawn has a baby, marries a hairdresser, performs a nightclub act, and decapitates her mother-in-law—as you do. Shot in and around Baltimore, “Female Trouble” is a wild ride, plastered with garish glam on every frame of the film. Unlike most of John Waters’ early works, which he kept in his attic, the original elements for “Female Trouble”—shot on 16mm—were kept in a vault at Warner Brothers. The original A/B reversal rolls for the film were used in creating a new 4K restoration of the film that makes its debut on Criterion’s blu-ray. The film looks quite good but also is—appropriately—heavy on the grain side, common with 16mm and frankly the look fits the film better. The uncompressed mono soundtrack is clear and sounds as good as you can get out of a low budget film. The bonus material Criterion has put together for this release is absolutely delightful. There’s a commentary track by Waters from the 2004 DVD release. It’s a fantastic! Waters is chatty and informative all throughout, both offering his comments on the production and how he sees the film today. New and Archival interviews with cast and crew are included. One of my favorites is a conversation between Waters and critic Dennis Lim, the two just casually chat about “Female Trouble” for about half an hour. Regardless if Wa-

What would the world of cinema be without the works of Baltimore’s favorite son, John Waters? From his early works like “Pink Flamingos” to his more popular and mainstream titles “Cry Baby” and “Hairspray”—the latter of which spawned a popular Broadway musical that just had a production done by Johnson City Community Theater—movies have been more colorful—to say the least—thanks to Waters’ unique take on movies. The Criterion Collection has recently been dipping into the early days of Waters’ catalog, releasing “Multiple Maniacs” on blu-ray last year.

An Interview with Ross Marquand The Nerd's Corner

By Jason & Daniel Worley jdworley@ theloaferonline.com

Most of you know him as the shy and lovable guy who we first met in seven episodes of season 5 to the tough and fearless leader we now know as Aaron in The Walking Dead. Others may know him from Marvel’s new movie.... WAIT! Can we talk about this yet? Luci, do we have a green light? Yes? Ok, good. As we were saying, some of you Marvel fans may have recently seen him in Marvel’s biggest movie to date, Infinity War, and didn’t even know who he was. (SPOILERS AHEAD) He played the Stonekeeper, also known as Red Skull, guardian of the Soul Stone. This AMAZINGLY talented guy that we were able to meet and spend some time with a couple weeks back at Days of the Dead, is none other than Ross Marquand. While we were geeking out talking to him and getting POP! figures signed, he was nice enough to answer a few questions for everyone here at The Loafer! Jason/Daniel: Tell us about your start with the walking dead. How did it feel to join one of the most popular TV shows of all time? Ross: It was absolutely amazing, as I was a huge fan of the show before I got on it and that very first Halloween episode in 2010 blew me away; so to go from being a fan to auditioning for the show, three times I auditioned for the show before I got on it. It was just a massive honor and also just very, very exciting. Jason/Daniel: Is there one scene or episode on The Walking Dead that you enjoyed doing more than any? Ross: I think episode 709 was probably my favorite because that’s when I really got a chance to work with Andy (Andrew Lincoln) one on one. Andy brings this super intense enthusiasm and read on the character. I believe that on some days Andy fully believes that he is Rick Grimes and it’s so wonderful to act across from him because he makes your job so much easier. He’s so believable in that role and he doesn’t drop character all day, so I think that one was by far my favorite episode so far. Jason/Daniel: How do you as a person relate to your character Aaron on the show? Ross: I think we have a lot in common. He is a guy who you know, strives his best to be good, to be pragmatic, and to be diplomatic, but sometimes of course his good nature gets in the way of things he needs to accomplish. He makes mistakes here and there, but I think at the end of the day he’s s good guy and I’m glad that fans have finally embraced him in these last few seasons, At first I think they were really weren’t sure about who he really was and what his intentions were. Jason/Daniel: Well we love Aaron and hope he stays on the show for a long time to come! And now Ross, you recently surprised us all with your Marvel debut. If given the opportunity, how would you feel about returning to the Marvel Universe in future films?

Ross: I would JUMP at the opportunity so fast, it would make your head spin! … That was such a huge joy because I grew up with the Marvel Universe and as a child, I used to draw all of these characters and collect the comic books and comic cards so to play this part was just absolutely incredible! Jason/Daniel: Thank you Ross and we think you playing the part in the MCU was absolutely incredible too and look forward to seeing you in more Marvel films! When he’s not filming scenes for The Walking Dead five days a week or being whisked away by Marvel for top-secret cameos, fans can find Ross at many comic cons and other events. Days of the Dead, Walker Stalker, and Heros & Villains are just a few of the local cons in the local area where you might catch him. If this was the first time you’ve heard of this talented actor, what are you waiting for? You’ve got eight seasons of The Walking Dead to catch up on, and season 9 premieres in just a few short months. Grab your katana (or popcorn if that’s what you prefer) and get ready for the walkers!

You blamed Enid for Natania’s death, but it’s really the Saviors! What they did to you... What they turned you into... It’s their fault! You hide! You don’t trust! You don’t live the life the way you want to because of them! And they’re going to keep on hurting you unless you do one thing: FIGHT!!! — Aaron to the Oceanside community, regarding the war with the Saviors.

Storyteller Tim Lowry

to Celebrate Fourth of July with Concert Series in Jonesborough Acclaimed performer Tim Lowry, whose storytelling roots are deep in his home state of Kentucky and his adopted home of South Carolina, will soon perform as part of the International Storytelling Center’s Teller-in-Residence series. Part of Storytelling Live!, the series invites a new resident to Jonesborough each week through the end of October for daily concerts and local storytelling activities. To help celebrate July 4, Lowry, long a true connoisseur of Americana—his website says he’s “telling stories of the people, by the people and for the people”—will include a selection of his most popular frontier stories and historical pieces throughout the week. “I always loved the performing arts, and storytelling was something that was indigenous to the area,” he says. “Storytelling was a part of everyday life, a readily accessible form of entertainment.” Lowry’s inventive stories come from a long tradition of small-town folks who made their own fun. “When I was a teenager, my town finally got a bowling alley,” he says. “Before that it was a two-and-a-half hour drive to bowl. It was a two-hour drive to go to McDonald’s. There was one movie theater, where (to quote my mother) the movies weren’t dirty, but the floors sure were. People made their own entertainment.” During Lowry’s weeklong residency, Tuesday through Saturday, July 3 - 7, his daily concerts will begin at 2 p.m. in the Mary B. Martin Storytelling Hall. He will also host a special morning concert aimed at children ages six through ten on Saturday, July 7,

at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are just $5 for all ages. All ticket holders will receive coupons for 15 percent off at The Lollipop Shop, a popular Main Street store that sells old-fashioned sweets and toys. Tickets for Lowry’s matinees are just $12 for adults, and $11 for seniors, students, and anyone under 18. Advance purchase is recommended for all performances. All ticketholders can present their ticket stubs for a 10 percent discount on same-day dining at JJ’s Eatery and Ice Cream; Main Street Café (lunch only); Medley Vegan Vegetarian; Olde Towne Pancake House; and The Corner Cup. Boone Street Market is offering 10 percent off prepared meals and 5 percent off any other purchase. Storytelling Live! runs from May through the end of October, with daily matinees Tuesday through Saturday and special programming like evening concerts and workshops scheduled throughout the season.

100 Years of Street Dances To Be Celebrated Event Expected to Draw Thousands to Historic Downtown Hendersonville

The rich traditional music and dance heritage of the Appalachian Mountains will be on full display in July when the 100th anniversary of Street Dances is held in the historic and picturesque mountain town of Hendersonville. The Hendersonville Tourism Development Authority (HCTDA) is hosting a special anniversary celebration Monday, July 9, from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. at the Visitor Center at 201 South Main Street. Admission is free. These mountain street dances started in 1918 to welcome soldiers home from World War I. Local history buffs claim the Hendersonville Street Dances are the oldest street dances in America, but they own up to the fact that while some communities may have started dances earlier, Hendersonville has the longest continuously running street dances. Originally started by the local Chamber of Commerce, the event moved under the auspices of the HCTDA over a decade

ago. Beth Carden, executive director of the HCTDA, says, “We really wanted to support the preservation of traditional music and dance. It’s such an important and vibrant part of our heritage, and the street dances are multigenerational. We have old-timers who grew up playing in bluegrass and mountain string bands who sing along and clap their hands. There are middle-aged folks who learned to clog as children who get up and dance right along with the featured clogging group. And we have children who come early for the 6:30 lesson in basic square dancing. It’s amazing to see locals and tourists alike enjoying mountain dance and music.”

Appalachian Fire is a four-piece Hendersonville based band that has been performing since 2005. Their song selections range from contemporary and classic bluegrass songs and gospel standards. They play such favorites as: “Foggy Mountain Breakdown”, “Salt Creek”. “I’ll Fly Away”, and “Will the Circle Be Unbroken”.

Clogging, the state dance of North Carolina, was the social dance in the Appalachian Mountains as early as the 18th century. It developed when Irish, Scottish, English and Dutch settlers moved into the mountains and brought their folk dances with them. Over the years those cultural influences mingled with Native American and African American traditions, and a truly American form of the dance took root. Locals usually referred to it as mountain dancing until 1939 when Queen Elizabeth saw a group called the Soco Gap Cloggers perform at the White House and remarked that it reminded her of clogging, a dance style common in England. The media picked up the term and it stuck.

Street Dances will continue every Monday evening from the July 9 celebration of the 100th anniversary through August 13. For more information or a complete schedule of all the Street Dances and performers, go to www.visithendersonvillenc.org/street-dances. Or call the Henderson County Tourism Development Authority at 828-693-9708 or 800-828-4244.

The July 9 event will open with brief remarks from city and county dignitaries, then move straight on to bluegrass music from Appalachian Fire, clogging demonstrations by Bailey Mountain Cloggers and square dancing called by Walt Puckett, who has been calling dances in Hendersonville for 50 years.

featuring visiting Plein Air Artist - Dawn Whitelaw

Plein Air or landscape painting is a red hot trend in the United States. The term “plein air” is a french word which means “in the open air.” Artists all over the country are taking their easels outdoors to capture the light and the environment around them. There are magazines and websites dedicated to the popular painters who regularly paint outdoors and show their work to galleries and collectors. Plein air events, large and small, are popping up in cities and towns both regionally and as far away as Hawaii. They are particularly popular in the mild weather months. Locally, the Northeast Tennessee Plein Air Painters can be seen painting on location in various parks and places throughout the tri-cities. These painters are also active members of the Kingsport Art Guild. The Kingsport Art Guild will hold it’s own Plein Air Event Saturday, July 7 on the grounds of the Kingsport Farmers Market. This event is co-sponsored by the Kingsport Office of Cultural Arts and will be part of the annual Kingsport Carousel Birthday Block Party. This event will feature visiting artist Dawn Whitelaw. Dawn Whitelaw is a nationally recognized Plein Air (Landscape) Painter from Nashville, TN. She

is has won numerous awards and has appeared in many artists’ magazines including Outdoor Painter, Plein Air Magazine and Nashville Arts magazine. She will be presenting a live painting demonstration on the grounds of the Kingsport Carousel and Farmers Market on July 7 beginning at 9 a.m. Painting alongside her will be 11 plein air artists from the Kingsport Art Guild. Each participating artist will be painting on location and will have their own work available for sale. Participating artists include: Carol Dixon, Renee Pitts, Donna Bird, Janet Hartmann, Joanne McDonough, Don Gotterbarn, John Youssi, Steven Reeves, Allison Parker, Judy Fitzgerald, Linda Loffmin and Kathy Hawk.

A few weeks ago I devoted this column to the increasingly-popular fascination with taking selfies in front of famous artworks or architecture. It probably comes as no surprise that the most prized selfie is one taken with the actual Mona Lisa in the background. So I guess we can now designate selfies as works of art (a designation that probably originated with Kim Kardashian’s big and expensive book of selfie indulgence, SELFIE). Of course, it shouldn’t be very difficult to Photoshop this kind of thing without the expense of flying to Paris. After all I have a very convincing copy of the da Vinci masterpiece in my office in Blountville.

theloaferonline.com | July 3, 2018

Although I have never been to Paris like my daughter, who took a picture of the “real” Mona Lisa with her disposable camera back in the pre-selfie year of 2005, I have become fascinated with a feature of Google Arts and Culture called “Search With Your Selfie.” This neat little feature matches your selfie portrait with artworks from several centuries and continents. After the selfie is taken, your facial features are matched with at least five portraits that often bear an uncanny resemblance to your mug. Of course, we are often told that our double exists somewhere out there. Actually, you can be creative and take a selfie of any picture you wish and find a match for it. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? It’s also a good way to embark on a art history tour because your selfie match is fully referenced. As you can see, one of my selfie mates is an obscure 19th century Dutch landscape painter named Marinus Adrianus Koekkoek (1807-1868). Since submitting my selfie, I have learned quite a bit about Koekkoek, and probably will want to replace the ball cap I am wearing with Koekkoek’s outlandish headwear. And I have also learned about the other artists that share some of my facial features, although none of them wear glasses. Try this for yourself. It gives you some surprising results when you make funny faces. But don’t try this with your pets. Nothing was matched when I took selfies of my dog and two cats. I hope this deficiency will correct itself in future updates.

SELFIE PORTRAIT

By Jim Kelly since 1989 jkelly@theloaferonline.com

While you’re at it, take some time to explore other features of Google Arts and Culture if you haven’t already done so. Here you will find not only loads of information about art, but also fascinating essays and photo galleries about all aspects of cultural history, including Vintage Wedding Portraits, American Bison, Virginia Woolf’s London, the Woodstock music festival, tours of famous art museums and galleries, acontinuously-updated featured theme gallery (including such topics as “Harry Potter: A History of Magic”, ”The Hidden Worlds Of The National Parks”, “The Road To Equality,” and “Black History And Culture”) and an up-close-and-personal feature called “Zoom In” that lets you examine an artwork in the kind of detail you could never experience from a personal visit to the museum. I must confess I have become an avid supporter of the Google universe. For example, I write my columns each week using Google Docs on my Chromebook, create all my presentations using Google Slides, use Google Keep to store my notes and documents, enjoy the flexibility of using Chromecast for my classroom presentations and student sharing, consult Google Maps when I get lost (if only someone would create a mapping service for my brain during those many times I get befuddled and confused), listen to Google Music (in conjunction with my other music services) and read Google News every morning while eating breakfast. About the only Google suite tool I don’t use is Google Sheets, because I have never understood spreadsheets or ever had a deep inclination to do so, although I do have to fill out their spaces on forms and read them for reports and other unavoidable tasks. Guess it’s about time I learned how to do this for myself, but I am in no hurry. Of course, being a very curious person, I also use a wide variety of other news and culturally-related sources, except anything associated with Microsoft (unless I can help it, that is). It’s been well over a year since I composed anything using Word or created a presentation using PowerPoint. I like the totally web-based environment of Google, its utter simplicity, and the fact that is free. A disclaimer: I own no stock in Google and generally distrust any company that claims to be the “next big thing” or the answer to all our problems. Although I like to follow Groucho Marx’s advice about never trusting any organization that will accept me as a member, I will have to defer to Bob Dylan’s observation that we gotta serve somebody when it

comes to making Google my go-to resource. I encourage you to explore Google Arts and Culture this week and find your selfie mate. Post your results on social media and stir up interests in art history. A much better pursuit than examining conspiracy theories or staring at yet another meme. See you next week in a non-selfie mode.

PETS

OF THE WEEK

THIS WEEK

SKIES theloaferonline.com | July 3, 2018

Celestial events in the skies for the week of July 3 - July 9, as compiled for The Loafer by Mark D. Marquette. Tuesday, July 3 Happy 83rd birthday to Apollo 17 moonwalker Harrison “Jack” Schmitt. The 12th and last man on the Moon in December 1972 with the late Gene Cernan, Schmitt parlayed the fame to a stint as US Senator from his home state of New Mexico. Today, he promotes space exploration and enjoys life—after all, there are only four moonwalkers out of the 12 still alive: Schmitt (Apollo 17), Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), David Scott (Apollo 15) and Charlie Duke (Apollo 16). Wednesday, July 4 Lots of fireworks in the skies on this date in history, including: 1054 AD an exploded star is seen in the daytime as a supernova in Taurus the Bull, and we see it today as the Crab Nebula; 1997 NASA’s Pathfinder spacecraft lands on Mars with the mini-rover Sojourner; 2005 a ballistic probe released by spacecraft Deep Impact slams into comet Temple 1, and the impact is recorded from the NASA craft as well as telescope on and orbiting the Earth; 2006 Space Shuttle Discovery STS-121 was launched on a construction mission to the International Space Station. Thursday, July 5 Summer evening twilight dazzles with brilliant Venus in the western sky and golden Jupiter in the south. Rising at sunset is Saturn, soon to be the main attraction in August with the Milky Way. The Moon moves away from the Milky Way, and it’ll be in its glory after midnight next week. Friday, July 6 Last Quarter Moon is today, rising after 1 am and plainly visible mid-morning directly south. On this 1687 date in astronomy history, the great Isaac Newton published his breakthrough book of physic, “Principia.” The basic laws of nature—from the level of atoms to clusters of galaxies—were revealed and supported by the mathematics calculus Newton also invented. Most of us know an easy Newton Law: every action has an opposite and equal reaction.

Saturday, July 7 On this 1998 date in space history, the first satellite was successfully launched from a submerged American submarine—a capability not often thought about in the advances of the space age. Russia also can launch a small satellite from its submarines patrolling the oceans of the world. Sunday, July 8 On this 2011 date in space history, the last Space Shuttle was launched on a supply mission to the International Space Station. Orbiter Atlantis was the 135th flight of the program begun in 1981 with Columbia. Columbia was destroyed upon reentry in 2001 and Challenger blew up during launch in 1986. Orbiters Atlantis, Endeavour and Discovery have been mothballed to museums. Monday, July 9 On this 1979 date in space history, Voyager 2 flew by the largest planet Jupiter, on its way years later to Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Still alive and sending data, Voyager 2 is in interstellar space, 12 billion miles from the Sun.
