You are Significant During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: 'What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?'

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if that last question would count toward our quiz grade. “Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello.” I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” (Prov 18:24 New King James Version) “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (NIV, John 13:34-35) Author: unknown www.Spiritual-Short-Stories.com

Dressing for the office during the summer months can put a chill in the air if your clothes show too much skin or scream “I’d rather be clubbing!” And following some yesterday handbooks, defining ‘professionalism’ with jackets, pantyhose, and no sandals – and in 100 degree weather no less – can cause you to break out in a sweat just thinking about it!

Hot Summer... Cool Fashion
Today, the violators in the office are more likely to be women wearing clothes that show too much skin or leave too little to the imagination. Wearing the wrong thing hurts your image and casts doubt on your sense of judgment. When in doubt, ask your employer. And since you don't want to look like a beach bum or floozy, or the uptight gal in the office, here are some general rules:

The best guides for what to wear are the executives, middle-managers and authority figures where you work. For example: While not wearing pantyhose would be a major faux pas at many companies, wearing pantyhose in the summer months in outside sales or other positions seem decidedly unnecessary in the overall professional appearance.
Be Polished A relaxed dress code doesn't mean you can be a slob. But even with a less formal dress code, you still want to look fresh. Make sure your clothes are clean and pressed. Since lightweight fabrics tend to be sheer, check your reflection under bright lighting to make sure your undergarments don't show through. If your company allows open-toe or backless shoes, make sure your feet and toenails are clean and cared for.
Don't Flash the Flesh Women in all professions should know they're not advancing their careers when they wear revealing clothing. Short shorts, mini-skirts, tank tops and low-cut or sheer blouses may get you attention, but not necessarily the raise or promotion you want. When choosing what to wear, think of the TV hosts such as Ann Curry of the Today Show instead of Britney Spears.
Layer Light Fabrics Stay cool in lightweight materials such as silk, cotton, linen, or summer-weight wool and cotton blends. Remember to dress in layers. The difference in temperature between the outdoors and your air-conditioned office can be 30 degrees or more. This season, the sleeveless dresses are perfect for indoors with a lightweight sweater or jacket, and accommodate the hot outside temperatures.

Know your clients or customers. Dressing to what they expect to see can guide you. And remember - use wise judgment, but if you think a piece of clothing could be inappropriate for the office, it probably is.

Summer Decorating Ideas By Viola Voice Summer is the perfect time of year to wear your true patriotic colors. It also is the time of year to enjoy watermelon, fried chicken, corn on the cob, and apple pie, and the time you want to bring bright colors indoors. Here are a few tips for summer decorating: Sunflowers always represent freshness. Place some of the sunflowers in baskets throughout the house for added effect. Baskets can also be used in almost every room in the house. Baskets in the bathroom may be used to hold hand towels and/or wash clothes. Baskets also transition well into other seasons if you elect to change the liners or add seasonally appropriate ribbons to the exterior of the baskets. Add a fruit to a basket for the kitchen table or set a basket of apples in the living room.

Pour water into a simple clear bowl and place decorative stones in the water. Adding plastic water lilies to the top of the water can appear to be the real thing. If you are handy with the paint brush some excellent summer decorating ideas include painting old wooden tables and chairs white and sponging on either apples or watermelons according to your fancy. Great for a sunroom or breakfast nook. Add mosaic candle holders and wall sconces coupled with a few large pillows in bright color fabrics to enhance the atmosphere. Place a colorful bouquet of flowers in the front of the unused fireplace with river rock as a base. Rocks can add character and charm. You can add more color by painting the rocks. Change the decorative paintings on the wall with paintings with lots of bright colors and designs.

The Crumley House to host beach-themed fundraiser
Introducing Ryu at Kaley’s Upsatirs Sale Room 50% OFF!
300 Urbana Road, Limestone, TN, 423.257.3644 www.crumleyhouse.com
You can make a difference by being involved with their annual fundraiser on Saturday, August 7. Get involved - be a sponsor, purchase a ticket(s) to attend the event, or donate an item suitable for their live auction. All proceeds go to the CHRC. For more information, call 423-257-8963. Get involved – make a kind difference in someone’s life! Please see their ad on this page! The Crumley House opened its doors in the summer of 1992. Although from afar this may have looked like the beginning, the dream that became a reality was born in 1981. On a September afternoon the lives of then 14-year-old Lori Beth Ford and her family were dramatically and forever changed. Following a tragic automobile accident, this beautiful and vibrant teenager became a brain injury survivor. After several weeks in a coma, Lori Beth awakened with a frontal lobe injury to her brain. She was unable to speak, walk, or eat. The accident ended years of ballet, horseback riding, cheerleading, and many other outstanding endeavors. However, it did not end her life. The goals changed but the drive and support of her family did not. Lori's mother, Ms. June Barrett, who knew very little on the subject of Traumatic Brain Injury, did not hesitate. She immersed herself, hands-on, in Lori's rehabilitation and recovery. She discovered throughout the process that there was a crucial missing link in the rehabilitation cycle. There was no place to support the transition between acute rehabilitation, community reentry, and independent living skills. From this idea grew what is now The Crumley House. Through grant money and private fund raising, Ms. Barrett turned her own families' pain into a resource for the entire region. The Crumley House began as an act of love and continues to be for its members and their families. The Crumley House serves the survivors of our region and beyond. It is the only one of it's kind in the southeastern region of the US. The Crumley House has worked with survivors of local communities, survivors who have traveled from other states to participate in their program, and an international client. Please show your support! Your donations are greatly appreciated! Editor’s note: If you are not familiar with this facility, please call and take a tour. You will be impressed with the staff and their dedication to a vision for rehabilitation. This facility grew from a need and continues to grow by filling a very special need. Your donations keep doors open for others that otherwise would be closed.

“The Trail of the Lonesome Pine” The longest running outdoor drama in Virginia! 2010 Season – June 25 – August 28 This is a fascinating, exciting, and tender love story of a beautiful Virginia mountain girl and a handsome young mining engineer from the East. The drama depicts the story of the great boom in Southwest Virginia when the discovery of coal and iron ore forced the lusty, proud mountain people into making many drastic changes in their way of life. The homespun wit and humor of these mountain folk is intermingled with stark tragedy and suspense and their final acceptance of their inevitable destiny– bringing it to a happy ending.

Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Virginia Highlands Festival’s Celtic Weekend
The Virginia Highlands Festival in Abingdon, Virginia has a rich history. Founded by Robert Porterfield – the founder of Virginia’s State Theatre, the Barter Theatre– the festival will celebrate its 62nd year this year. The festival has always brought a variety of events to the area – arts and crafts, an antique market, art and photography shows, events and programs that explore the area’s natural beauty and resources, events for children, programs revolving around home and garden, and music representing all music genres. While the festival as a whole celebrates its 62nd anniversary, the annual Celtic Music Weekend will be celebrating its 10th anniversary. The Celtic Music Weekend has become extremely popular and draws folks from the region as well as folks from outside the state. In the middle of what some folks refer to as “the bluegrass belt”, how did this weekend of all Celtic music come about? While planning the 2001 festival, Sandra Parker - Bristol, Virginia resident and chairman of the festival’s music committee, decided that a weekend of all Celtic music would be a very popular addition to an already outstanding music lineup. Historic Abingdon is surrounded by gentle sloping hills and the Appalachian Mountains. The beautiful mountains, valleys and lakes of this region felt like home to many people of Celtic descent who decided to settle here. Many of the area’s residents can trace their heritage back to Ireland and Scotland or Wales, and what is commonly known as “Appalachian Music” has its roots in the music that was brought to America by these immigrants who came here from these Celtic lands across the sea. Sandra was born in a small town not far from Abingdon, and developed a love of traditional Celtic music as a young girl. Her love of Celtic music continued into her adult life and led to her becoming an entertainer – singing Celtic and Appalachian ballads and accompanying herself on guitar and later, on the Celtic Harp. Annual trips to the Grandfather Mountain Highlands Games in Linville, North Carolina, gave

Sandra opportunities to see Celtic music played live and to experience the excitement that the crowds at the Grandfather Mountain Games had for these live concerts. She decided in the fall of 2000 that she would put together an entire weekend of Celtic music for the folks that would be attending the 2001 Virginia Highlands Festival. There were some who questioned whether or not this type of music would be that well received as part of the Abingdon based festival, but on that very first weekend in 2001, attendance surpassed all expectations, and the Virginia Highlands Festival Celtic Weekend became a yearly event that had both audiences and vendors at the adjacent craft show talking about how much they loved the Celtic Weekend. During the years 2001 through 2009, the Virginia Highlands Festival’s Celtic Weekend has presented some of the most outstanding Celtic bands on the Celtic Music scene. Abingdon has played host to bands from Florida, Northern Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, and Tennessee. Several internationally based bands have visited Abingdon as well, including Hunting McLeod from Canada, Boys of the Lough and the David Munnelly Band with members from Ireland and Scotland. In 2002, the critically acclaimed all female Celtic group Cherish the Ladies, thrilled festival goers in a concert at the Barter Theatre. This year, as the Virginia Highlands Festival prepares to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this very popular weekend, Sandra promises even more excitement and incredible music. The festival has moved to a new location after many years on the Barter Green. The new location is on Remsburg Drive which runs by the Abingdon Farmer’s Market Pavilion. This new location will bring the festival closer to the downtown area – only a block over – and will allow performances during the Celtic Weekend to take place at two venues. The main stage will be located at the Farmer’s Market Pavilion. On the Main Street side, performances will also take place at the Kiwanis Park. This is the first year that two venues have been available for concerts. Also, new this year will be a Friday evening concert at the Farmer’s Market Pavilion. The Friday night concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. when Uncle Hamish and the Hooligans will open for Enter the Haggis. Enter the Haggis is from Canada and has been featured on the Live with Regis and Kelly television show. Enter the Haggis can only be seen on Friday night. Saturday and Sunday will be filled with music by such crowd favorites as Coyote Run, The Appalachian Highlanders Pipe & Drum, Rathkeltair, Drums and Drones, and newcomers Tinsmith and the enchanting sounds of Cast In Bronze, an experience not to be missed! The dates for this three-day 10th anniversary celebration are: July 30th, 31st and August 1st. Admission is $5.00 per day, or $10.00 for a pass that includes three days of events. Children under 12 get in free. Passes can be purchased at the festival office or at the Farmer’s Market Pavilion prior to the shows. Patrons with passes will be provided with a wrist band that will allow them to come and go during that day’s performances.

Choosing a DJ/Entertainer for your Wedding or Event By Alan Dodson • www.thoseweddingpeople.com So many times the phone rings and I hear, "I need a DJ, how much does it cost?" I'm certain that all DJ companies in America have experienced a tenacious caller who plans to contact every DJ in their local yellow pages (or likewise online) asking that same question with only one goal in mind: finding the DJ with the lowest price.
A wedding is one of the most important and expensive days of your life. Ask yourself: Are you willing to bet your wedding an inexperienced, uninsured DJ who may use sub- standard equipment, have a poor music collection and little skill on the microphone? Like most things in life, you get what you pay for. Great entertainment is not cheap and cheap entertainment is seldom great! Your DJ, if you have chosen a really good one, will contribute greatly to your guest's enjoyment, which encourages them to stay longer.
I wonder if their experience in life thus far has taught them that the cheapest is usually the best? (Did they call McDonald's to cater their function?)
When was the last time you heard someone say, "Boy, the chicken at that wedding was phenomenal. I can't wait to attend another wedding for some more chicken!" Seriously, people don't say those types of things. What they do talk about is the entertainment and whether or not they had fun at the event.
While the total budget for your event must be a factor of consideration, when booking a DJ/Entertainer and Master of Ceremonies, there are certain details that must be known by both parties before considering the quoted price. Such as:
Alan Dodson, DJ/MC/Game Master Director of Wedding Entertainment www.ThoseWeddingPeople.com Martha Stewart Five Star Rated Entertainer Member of the American Disc Jockey Association Voice: 888.330.1945, Fax: 423.573.4218
1. What type of event, where, how long, and number of attendees. 2. What are the clients expectations of the DJ/Entertainer at the event? 3. The talent, experience and skill of the DJ/Entertainer. (professional or hobbyist) 4. Is the DJ Licensed and have Liability Insurance and Professional Memberships? 5. Do they own a legal music library and is it of the genres of music you desire? 6. How much time will they spend with you on planning in advance, and when?
“Your Body at its Best!”
Many times the DJ is one of the last vendors chosen or budget allocated for, which later usually proves to be a tragic mistake. It's the DJ/Entertainer who will have the single greatest effect on the overall success of your party. Those who set out to find the cheapest rate possible are setting themselves up for disappointment.

See Dr. Tom Rogers for: Weight Loss Programs: Nutritional Lifestyle Program Learn how to safely lose up to 1 to 2 pounds per day with HCG Diet
An argument could be made that everyone planning a function has a budget, and not everyone can afford the best, so an amateur/cheap DJ is a valid option. I would like to offer a valid reason why "bargain shopping" isn't even necessary when searching for quality DJ entertainment. All functions have some idea of a total budget: a limit of funds which must include all expenses (the hall, the food, the decorations, centerpieces, limo, photographer, video, florist, etc., and of course, the entertainment).
Natural Hormone Replacement: Men and Women Personalized treatments based on your body’s hormone levels
A percentage of the total budget goes toward each expense, so it is entirely possible to keep within a pre-set total budget limit and still have great entertainment if you prioritize the budget right. It is easy to justify allotting a higher percentage of that total budget to great entertainment once you prioritize which component/expense is most important to the overall success of the function. Leading wedding publications surveys have shown that the DJ/Entertainment is responsible for over 80% of the success of a reception party. Does it not make sense to allocate a larger percentage of your budget to that single item that is the most important?
Aesthetic Procedures Including: Sclerotherapy vein treatment Botox and Dysport Juvederm, Radiesse, Restaline, Perlane Laser Hair Removal Microdermabrasions and Facials Jessner and Glycolic Peels Body Waxing Quick Care Procedures
No matter how much is spent on anything else, the entire function will bomb if the DJ entertainment is severely inadequate and the guests leave early. At some point, while a amateur DJ is packing up to leave early with your payment already tucked away in his pocket, glance over at that melting ice sculpture, the uneaten goodies on the sweet table and the extravagant floral centerpieces and guest favors left behind. I wonder what the results would have been (without ever increasing the pre-set budget limit) if a portion of the money used on less-vital expenditures had been used toward better entertainment for that once-in-a-lifetime event?

Fight for your Freedom of Movement
Blueberries are not only a low calorie snack; they are also a great source of nutrients. New research suggests blueberries are a great way to naturally lower risk factors for cancers, enhance your memory, and achieve the optimal health we should all be striving for.
As we celebrate our nation’s independence this month, we should also recognize a freedom so often taken for granted---our freedom of movement. This is a freedom we must fight to preserve! Aging gradually decreases our flexibility, strength, stamina, and balance, but it’s possible to preserve our youthful abilities much longer with exercise—and it doesn’t take long to get results! Exercise physiologist, Joe Cannon states,
“In one study, older adults, averaging 92 years of age increased their strength by about 175% after only one month of strength training a few minutes a day, three times a week. These individuals also doubled their walking speed and improved their balance so much that they didn't need their walkers or canes any longer!" [www.thirdage.com] Local fitness enthusiast, Marsha McGovern attests gaining freedom through exercise. At age 67, she joined the YW Women’s Fitness Spa to train for her first multi-day bike tour. She shares, “On my first bike ride, I did 16 miles! But the real benefits I’ve noticed have been in the changes I see in doing everyday things. After two months of exercising, I could actually climb the stairs in my three-story condo without getting winded. And I used to have such bad pain in my neck and shoulders that I’d have to take Tylenol almost every day to keep going. Now, even when I open jars or plant flowers, my pain is gone!� The old adage, “USE IT OR LOSE IT� is true.

Grilling the Right Way By Crystal Robertson, UT Extension Agent Outdoor grilling is one of the best parts of summer, along with pool parties and vacation. In fact, half of Americans are now grilling year round. Whether you’re cooking tender steaks or roasting vegetables, grilling makes the ordinary extraordinary. Next time you pull out Crystal Robertson the grill, make sure you practice a little extra care to prevent food-borne illness and charring that can be unhealthful, with these helpful tips. Thaw safely Completely thaw meat and poultry before grilling so it cooks more evenly. Use the refrigerator for slow, safe thawing or thaw sealed packages in cold water. You can use a microwave to defrost if the food will be placed immediately on the grill. You may also precook food partially to reduce cooking time on the grill. Just make sure to transfer the food immediately to a preheated grill. Marinate Marinate raw meats, fish or poultry in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Set aside a portion of the marinade before adding raw meat or poultry to use later as a sauce. If you reuse the marinade from the raw meat, bring it to a rolling boil to kill any bacteria. Cook thoroughly When using a charcoal grill, remember that it takes 30 minutes or longer for the coals to get thoroughly heated. On a warm grill, cook meat thoroughly until it is done, but make sure not to char it. Because meat and poultry cooked on a grill often brown very fast on the outside, using a meat thermometer will ensure meat is cooked thoroughly. To use a meat thermometer properly, insert it into the thickest part of the meat, being sure the end of the thermometer doesn’t rest on the cooking surface. Beef, veal and lamb can be cooked to 145 degrees, and ground beef should reach 160 degrees. Other minimum temperatures should be 160 degrees for pork and 165 degrees for poultry. Grill fully cooked meats - like hot dogs - by heating them to 165 degrees or until they’re steaming hot. Never partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking it later. Serve safely When taking food off the grill, use a clean platter. Don't put cooked food on the same platter that held raw meat or poultry. Any harmful bacteria present in the raw meat juices could contaminate safely cooked food. Remove any charred or burned material from the food's surface before serving. Keep cooked meats hot (around 140˚), by setting them to the side of the grill rack but not directly over the coals where they could overcook. Cooked meat also can be kept hot in an oven set at approximately 200˚, in a chafing dish or slow cooker, or on a warming tray. Refrigerate any leftovers promptly in shallow containers. Discard any food left out more than two hours – or one hour if temperatures are above 90˚. For additional information about keeping food safe to eat, contact your local UT Extension office, or go to www.fightbac.org.

Local artist making a difference with ‘HOPE’ Tony Henson www.tonyhensonart.com Tony Henson created the painting titled “HOPE” for his mother who had breast cancer last year but overcame it. “She had most of her right breast removed and did very well afterwards. I drove to Nashville to be with her during this time. I wanted to create an abstract piece that shows my love for paint and expresses my emotions about this triumph,” explained Tony. “I've always drawn and painted since I can remember. I have never thought about being anything else but an artist growing up. My mom encouraged me at an early age by not punishing me after I drew all over my walls. She didn't even paint over the artwork. I believe that I was 3 years old.” Thank you goes to the artist, Tony Henson, for sharing his story and the importance of this special painting – “HOPE.” The painting is a great gift and carries a special aura for all – “HOPE.” Voice Magazine for Women celebrates this opportunity to assist in raising money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure by auctioning the painting as a silent auction item. Each month the “HOPE” painting will be on display in a different local business for viewing and bidding.

Positive Planning
“Details of History” by Brandi Woodall, Positive Approach Events & Consulting Summertime ushers in many outdoor activities including for some, the annual family reunion. Relatives both near and far make the trek back to where they all began; coming together to enjoy the members of their family, both past and present. Are you considering planning a reunion? Here are some tips to get you started: • Select the length of your family reunion. If everyone lives within a short drive, you might see most of him or her on a regular basis. So having a one-day event would be acceptable. However, if most Brandi Woodall of your relatives are at the four corners of the earth, consider having them come in for an extended stay to ensure they won’t be rushed and will be able to relax and enjoy themselves. • As with any event, pick a theme! I don’t mean picking balloons and a cake. But how about an action, “Learn one thing from a family member that you didn’t know about them.” • Ask relatives to bring photo albums and set them out on a couple of tables with plenty of seating around. This will encourage those who are more knowledgeable about the family to share the family history. • Play a matching game like “Guess Who?” with baby pictures. • Celebrate both young and old. We all know that ages vary widely at a family reunion, so keep that in mind when planning activities. Kids get fussy, and heat isn’t fun for anyone. So make sure you have shaded areas and plenty of cold liquids. • Give plenty of notice. Don’t expect someone to come from Alaska if you are giving him or her a 15-day notice about a family reunion. Be realistic for both those traveling in, and the ones planning the reunion. • Start the process at least six months out; especially if there are family members that you might have a hard time tracking down.
