The cool nights and the crisp clear days along with the delicious aroma of pumpkin pies are good indications that the holiday season is approaching quickly. With so many changes in our economy, and many people in the coal fields losing their jobs, and cut backs in all professions, it is the perfect time to start thinking about giving. This season is the perfect time to make a your holiday ‘an attitude of gratitude with giving.’ Show your gratitude for what you have by giving and sharing with others. Voice Magazine for Women would like to give a big thank you to all those who attended the Women In Business Conference in Abingdon, VA and shared ideas, tips and their businesses. It was a fun event and the support was outstanding! A great success! We hope to see you there next year. Our next event we hope to see you attending, is the Mistletoe Market in Abingdon, VA. There are added twists this year with seminars, demonstrations and activities, so you will want to be there. Please see their ad on page 12. Also, please visit the booth of the Appalachian Writers Guild and Jan-Carol Publishing. Show your support to our local talented authors, and books do make wonderful holiday gifts! (If you wish to order any books listed in Voice Magazine, please call us at 423-926-9983.) As we move into the holiday season, it is important to support local businesses. The money spent here stays here and it helps us all. We ask that you show your continued support to the businesses advertising in Voice Magazine and support us as a small business. We hope that you enjoy this month’s health issue focusing on Breast Cancer Awareness. Breast cancer is a disease that is a concern for all of us. Most women will face this monster on some pathway in their lives. A special thank you to Justice Elizabeth McClanahan for her willingness and her time to share her story. Thank you to all of you! We could not be here with you! Please “like” Voice Magazine and Jan-Carol Publishing on Facebook!

Looking Toward the Son By Kelly McFadden
Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 KJV Isn’t it amazing how sunflowers follow the sun? This phenomenon is a result of the sunflower being a phototropic plant. Meaning the sunflower follows the movement of the sun from east in the morning to west in the afternoon. The flower constantly looks towards and depends on the bright, radiant sun for life. The Christian life should be like the sunflower. We should have our eyes focused on Jesus. It is when we aren’t dependent on our maker or when we get caught in the shadows of sin that we, like the sunflower, fade. The sun does not move in the sky. It is the world that rotates and moves. In your life, no matter how the world changes keep your eyes focused on what is constant—Christ. We must always keep our eyes on the Son, our source of life.

Slits in Skirts Skirt lengths are long and short but the biggest difference is the added slit running up the side of the skirt. A great ensemble would to be to pair a skirt with a slit with black tights and a cozy sweater.
Leather Leggings Leather, always a fall staple, has been seen on the runaways this season but with a different twist; leggings! A pair of leather or leather like leggings is perfect for layering with boxy button-downs and boyfriend sweaters.

Decorate your front door for the new season that is on the threshold. Warmly invite your guests in from the brisk air using wreaths, twigs, berries, vegetables and fruits you love! Add a little color and texture with browns of burlap, green moss, Crystal Robertson or red leaves. Remember it is the first thing they encounter when they come to your home. Shouldn’t it be a reflection of what’s waiting inside? Here are a few ideas to beautifully decorate your door on a budget and have a great time doing it.
Rake Wreath This is a great way to re-purpose an item that is no longer in use, or you can purchase a new one for about $10. After you remove the handle, you can paint it or leave it as is. Add a few flowers in
pretty fall colors, berries, or sprays using floral wire to hold it in place. Top it off with a ribbon or burlap bow or you may also want to wrap the bottom where the handle was. Use the floral wire to create a loop from which to hang.
Yarn Wreath Create a yarn wreath with an argyle pattern. This is a simple wreath that makes a big impact. Start with a Styrofoam or floral foam ring and choose two skeins of yarn in contrasting colors for wrapping. You will also need felt for your argyle pattern, flowers, animals, or whatever you wish to decorate your yarn wreath. Start by wrapping the ring with the yarn, making sure you wrap the ring with even tension and the whole thing is evenly covered. Next, cut each color of felt for your argyle diamonds. The number will depend on your size preference. Place the squares on the ring so that you know they will fit. Make sure the corners are touching, then glue them

down. After all squares are glued, wrap the ring with the contrasting yarn at an angle. After you go around one time, switch and go the other way around, crossing the squares from the other way, and making an X across the squares. Once you have crossed all the squares, carefully turn over the wreath and tie the end to the beginning of the yarn. Leave it as is, or keep embellishing.

Indian Corn Wreath The Indian Corn Wreath gives off a radiant look and the corn husks are what gives it flair. Don’t overlook the vital importance of the husks — be sure to open them up and spread them out. The only materials you will need are a straw wreath, Indian Corn, and hot glue. If you find the corn is too heavy, you may want to use miniature Indian Corn. Next you will want to treat your corn cobs with a dusting of Diatomaceous Earth to keep from attracting bugs to your wreath or into your home. Diatomaceous Earth is sold at hardware stores as a powdery insecticide that is safe for humans.

We Are Not Survivors, We Are Warriors By Sarah Hutchinson
Justice Elizabeth McClanahan
E
lizabeth McClanahan was born and raised in Buchanan County, VA. She was a member of the 4-H Club as a child and holds the organization close to her heart because of the many opportunities it provides for young people. Elizabeth graduated from William and Mary in 1980 and the University of Dayton School of Law in 1984. She was an oil and gas lawyer as well as general counsel for local companies such as Burwil Construction, Inc. and Strongwell. In April 2003, she became a Judge in the Virginia Court of Appeals. It was just after beginning her second term in the Court of Appeals, when she was elected as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia in August 2011. Being a Virginia Supreme Court Justice has not been her toughest encounter in her life.
The C-Word It was Christmas Day of 2006 and Elizabeth McClanahan’s house was filled with happiness and children’s laughter. Little did she know the next day a call would come from the doctor, “You need another mammogram.” That can be the beginning of the toughest part—the unknowing. What stage? Is it in your lymph nodes? Will you need radiation? You just don’t know. On December 26, 2006, Elizabeth had a spot compression and needle biopsy. D-Day or Diagnosis Day came on January 3, 2007 when she received a fax to her office with the results. “I couldn’t believe my name and ‘carcinoma’ were on the same page. I was choking.” She worked out, ate right, and did everything a healthy person should do. How could this be happening? Her best friend in law school, Mitzi, passed away of sarcoma, so Elizabeth was able to work through her “why” issues during that time. Now she was just able to focus on getting better. The next step was to make a plan for treatment: surgery (bi-lateral mastectomy), reconstruction and chemotherapy. “I wanted to live to be a mother to my children,” she passionately revealed. Her children
8
were so young, Lanz was 6 years old and Kate was only 4 years old. When she lost her hair while undergoing chemotherapy, she began to look for wigs. Children, being blunt as they are, will tell you exactly what they are thinking. Lanz and Kate did not want their mom to wear a wig because it just was not her. It did not look like the mom they knew, so she wore hats instead. “I don’t think I touched my head at all the whole time I was bald,” she remembered. Lanz would rub her head and say, “Mom, it looks like an oreo sundae.” It’s the lighthearted comments of children that can raise your spirits in times like these. In the years since her diagnosis, when she or her kids get frustrated, their new motto is, “Well, it’s not chemo.” That is their lighthearted way of saying that what is going on is nothing like where they have been. “During my friend Laura’s 9-year battle against metastatic breast cancer, she coined the phrase ‘We are not survivors, we are warriors!’” recalls Elizabeth. The hospital staff even made her a mold of a warrior mask for her radiation treatments. Laura's mask was what all radiation patients have made if receiving radiation on a head tumor. Her friend Sarah decorated the mask to be a beautiful warrior mask of sequins and feathers. “As a result of Laura’s sheer guts and determination, we were blessed with 9 more years with her than we thought we would have,” she remembers.
During all of this time of the diagnosis and treatments and even after, Elizabeth has looked to her friends, family and most of all her faith. “I feel strongly about my faith being a part of my healing and cure,” she explained.
she was going through. You never know why somebody goes through this, but now I know so many women that Elizabeth has counseled to endure breast cancer. That must be the reason. She’s a survivor.” Recently after her birthday, her son asked, “So Mom, how does it feel to be old?” And her response was, “It feels great!” She just had her seventh birthday since her diagnosis. “I am just happy to have a birthday!” she explained.
A New Love for Running After the cancer diagnosis and treatments, Elizabeth’s childhood best friend, Teresa’s daughter, Allison, was going to run a 10miler in Lynchburg, VA. She suggested that Elizabeth join her as a new way to celebrate her survival. Prior to that race, she had only used the elliptical, bike and stair master in the gym. “I wanted to do anything I could to prove I wasn’t sick,” explained Elizabeth. Her sister, Becky, in Colorado suggested she do a triathlon at the age of 50. The only thing was, she really was not the best swimmer. “All I can say is, I finished it!” she laughed. She was occasional runner spending most of her workout time on stationary gym equipment until the diagnosis, now she tries to fit in a jog every day.
An Inspiration Battling cancer is difficult, but being the mother of young children while battling cancer can add a whole new set of worries. One thing she noticed while reading literature on battling cancer and about other survivors, was that she could find little information on mothers with young children. Elizabeth is now working on a book of her own about her experience to help mothers with cancer that have young children. She would love to be a full-time Breast Cancer Coach someday to share her story and help encourage and inspire more survivors. Becky McClanahan kindly speaks about her sister, “She is the strongest, most compassionate, and most hilarious person I know. Her journey through cancer has been and continues to be a huge inspiration to me.” During her investiture to the Supreme Court of Virginia, close friend and colleague, former Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore said, “We already know she’s a survivor. Cancer wasn’t supposed to strike someone like Elizabeth McClanahan – she runs 15 miles a day. She is always energetic and always working. She’s the epitome, if you look at her, of health. But it did strike Elizabeth. We saw an even more determined Elizabeth McClanahan during that time period. For many of us, we would have been held up in our rooms and just praying that it would go away. Elizabeth continued to work, she continued to help her kids, she continued to care about others in spite of what

Make sure you can see. A winter storm is the worst possible time to run out of windshield washer fluid or to discover your blades aren’t clearing the windshield properly. Wiper blades usually last for about six months. Since visibility is a key ingredient to safety, be sure to invest in some new ones, if needed. Make sure the washer fluid is good to -20 F. Never use plain water. It will freeze all over your windshield.

Get the antifreeze mixture just right. The ideal mixture of antifreeze (coolant) and water inside your vehicle’s radiator is 50/50. Antifreeze is very important to your engine. It cools the car’s engine, protects it from freezing in the cold weather and is the key agent in providing heat inside the car that keeps your toes warm. ALSO: Have the PH of the coolant tested after three years. The coolant starts out as alkaline ph and, over time, turns acidic which can damage the system.

October is the ideal month to prepare your car for winter, following several months of hot conditions and in advance of the colder temperatures that will soon take hold. Your car needs to be prepared now to avoid winter breakdowns, with you and/or your mechanic handling several important tasks during October Car Care Month. 1. Change your oil and oil filter. Few car owners need to have their oil changed every 3,000 miles or 3-months. Instead, follow your owner's manual to determine when the next oil change is due. Change your oil filter too and use this time to top off your fluids, including your windshield washer reservoir. 2. Inspect your battery. Check the connections to your batteries and remove debris build up. If your battery is nearing the end of its useful life, replace it before cold weather sets in. Extreme temperatures can test your battery, leaving you stranded at the worst possible time. 3. Examine hoses and belts. A sure recipe for a breakdown are hoses and belts that are fraying,
splitting, worn or loose. Signs of wear mean signs of pending trouble. Replace as needed. Check your heating system too -- if the output of heat isn't strong, there could be a loose hose or belt. 4. Flush or top off your radiator. Follow your owner's manual to determine when your radiator should be flushed. Check for leaks and resolve problems before cold weather settles in. 5. Rotate or replace your tires. Tires should be rotated every 6,000 miles. Inspect your tires for signs of wear and replace them if they are worn. Items to keep in the car: • Flashlight with fresh batteries. • Emergency kit. In the winter, a bag of cat litter can serve two purposes: extra weight for snowy roads or to be used on the ice and snow roads for additional traction. However, it must be clay litter and not the clumping type. • Never leave home without a fully charged cell phone and bring a charger to keep your phone fully charged while you're on the road.

Dining Diva Dines Out… By: Jennifer Maupin
Krazy Krepes keeps you coming back for more! Been driving around and around for hours searching for a large variety of crepes to satisfy your taste buds? Just drive downtown Johnson City, TN! Located downtown on E. Main St., inside the Nelson’s Fine Art Gallery is the best place in the Tri-Cities area to satisfy your appetite for a crepe. Krazy Krepes opened in August, 2013. Angi and Karina, both from Germany, moved to the US several years ago. As moms, they wanted to start a business that would be small, but continuous. For the past six years, Nelson’s Fine Art has had the Brew Plum Coffee Bar, offering lattes, smoothies, cappuccinos and coffees. The owner of the gallery, Dick Nelson, loved the idea of adding something different to complement the menu, coffees and the art atmosphere. Voila! Krazy Krepes evolved . I must admit, this is my first time ever trying a crepe and I absolutely loved
it! I had so many delicious choices in the offered varieties of savory crepes and sweet crepes. The savory crepes include the Hillbilly, which is egg, cheese and sausage; the Skinny Italian, with fresh basil, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese; and the American, with bacon, avocado, tomatoes, hot sauce and sour cream. For the sweeter choices, customers can choose the Plain Jane with cinnamon and sugar, the Greek with Greek yogurt, mango (or other seasonal fruit) and brown sugar, or the Bananarama with bananas and nutella. For my first crepe, I chose the French Kiss with strawberry filling, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. As soon as the crepe was brought to my table, I could smell the sweet chocolate and strawberry aroma. The crepe was warm and soft served with whipped cream that was light and fluffy and tasted as if it had been whipped from scratch. Krazy Krepes uses fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, the pesto and artesian breads are prepared in house. German cheesecake is also made in house which uses sour cream instead of cream cheese. You can watch and drool since all the crepes are prepared in front of you and customers can mix the crepes to satisfy their taste buds. Gluten-free crepes are also available. Not only are the crepes heavenly, so is the atmosphere! Free Wi-Fi is offered in this very relaxing and quiet atmosphere with displays of local art surrounding you. Krazy Krepes is open Monday through Friday 8:30 to 3:00 and starting in October, they will open on Sunday. Starting in October, Krazy Krepes and Nelson Fine Arts will be offering movie nights every Friday for those who would like to catch a good movie and enjoy some good food and coffee. For the wine lovers, Nelson’s Fine Art periodically offers wine tastings for those who would like to bring a bottle of wine, share and sample the different wines others bring. If you would like a little taste of some European treats, stop by the Krazy Krepes. Support your local arts, two working moms, and the one and only crepe place in Johnson City! And don’t forget to tell them, Voice Magazine for Women sent you!

National
Chiropractic Health Month During National Chiropractic Health Month this fall, doctors of chiropractic (DCs) across the country will promote the importance of joint health and the vital role physical activity plays in keeping joints healthy and pain free. This year’s theme—“Get Vertical”—focuses on getting off the couch or out of the office chair, and standing or moving more each day. Most people nowadays know someone with joint pain, and joint replacement surgery—particularly involving hips and knees—is commonplace. What many do not know, is that simple lifestyle changes can help prevent the needing for this type of surgery and keep joints healthier longer. No one is doomed to invasive joint replacement surgery in order to remain active and pain-free well into one’s golden years. A doctor of chiropractic can help by providing exercise and lifestyle recommendations, nutritional advice, and natural approaches to managing aches and pains. Just a few healthy lifestyle changes, over time, can make a real difference. In honor of National Chiropractic Health Month, the Chiropractors advertising this month in Voice Magazine for Women offer these tips to help you get vertical and stay pain-free:
• Stand up: Office dwellers can look into using standing desks or treadmill desks; but if you’re stuck sitting all day, you can still stretch your legs with a short walk about every 20 to 30 minutes. • Take micro-breaks: Frequently stretch your neck, arms and wrists, back, and legs. Simple stretches include neck rotations, fist clenches, arm dangles, and shoulder shrugs. • Get moving: You don’t have to work out like a pro-athlete, just aim for a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes of exercise three to five days a week. • Eat right: A healthy diet—rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats—can help reduce inflammation and joint pain. Also limit red meat, refined sugar and white flour. Just a few simple changes can have a positive impact on your health.

Cooper, D.C., Bristol, TN (see their ad) Sponsored by the American Chiropractic Association, National Chiropractic Health Month is a nationwide observance held each October.

World Blindness Awareness Month and Home Eye Safety Month Your eyes are an important part of your health. There are many things you can do to keep them healthy and make sure you are seeing your best. Follow these simple steps for maintaining healthy eyes. • Know your family’s eye health history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history. • Eat right to protect your sight. You’ve heard carrots are good for your eyes. But eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or collard greens is important for keeping your eyes healthy, too. • Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing diabetes and other systemic conditions, which can lead to vision loss, such as diabetic eye disease or glaucoma.

• Wear protective eyewear. Wear protective eyewear when playing sports or doing activities around the home.

• Quit smoking or never start. Smoking is as bad for your eyes as it is for the rest of your body.

• Be cool and wear your shades. When purchasing sunglasses, look for ones that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation. • Give your eyes a rest. If you spend a lot of time at the computer or focusing on any one thing, you sometimes forget to blink and your eyes can get fatigued. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds. This can help reduce eyestrain.

October—National Audiology Awareness Month and Protect Your Hearing Month Hearing loss is an increasing health concern in this nation that is often preventable. While it is a common expectation that as people age they may lose some hearing, few realize that hearing loss is prevalent among adults of all ages with half of the 36 million people in the United States with hearing loss under the age of 65. When hearing loss occurs during the adult years, but long before old age, many tend to ignore it and not enlist the assistance of a specialist. The sad thing is, when you avoid determining if there is a problem, you also avoid seeking beneficial treatment. Because of this, October has been identified as National Audiology Awareness Month and Protect Your Hearing Month. On average, most Americans don’t often recognize the first signs of hearing loss which include: trouble hearing conversation in a noisy environment such as restaurants, difficulty or inability to hear people talking to you without looking at them, and/or a constant pain or ringing in your ears. Hearing loss can be caused by a variety of things including: exposure to loud noises, ear infections, trauma, or ear disease, harm to the inner ear and ear drum, illness or certain medications, and deterioration due to the normal aging process. The first step in treatment of a hearing problem is to get your hearing evaluated by an audiologist. An audiologist is a licensed and clinically experienced health-care professional who specializes in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating people with hearing loss and balance disorders. Now is the time to have a hearing evaluation!

Breast Cancer
RISK FACTORS • Age. The strongest risk factor is age. Risk goes up as a woman gets older. Most women who get breast cancer are older than 50. • Personal history of breast cancer. Women who have had breast cancer in one breast are more likely to get it in the other breast. • Family history. Having a mother, sister, or daughter who has had breast cancer increases a woman's risk. The risk is higher if her family member got breast cancer before age 40. • Inheriting certain harmful gene mutations. Inherited genetic changes account for about 10 percent of all breast cancers. If you have a relative who has a harmful gene mutation, you may want to talk to a genetic counselor to learn more about your personal risk. • Certain breast changes that are not cancer. Women who have certain types of abnormal breast changes, such as atypical hyperplasia, ductal carcinoma in situ, and lobular carcinoma in situ, are at a higher risk. • Race. In the United States, white women have the highest breast cancer rates.
• Breast tissue that is dense on mammogram. Women whose breasts have more dense tissue relative to fatty tissue are at a higher risk than women of about the same age who have little or no dense breast tissue. • Menstrual and reproductive history. Getting your first menstrual period before age 12 increases the risk of breast cancer. Reaching menopause after age 55 increases a woman’s breast cancer risk. • Taking the hormones estrogen and progestin. Using menopausal hormone therapy containing both estrogen and progestin for more than five years increases the risk of breast cancer. • Radiation therapy to the chest. Radiation therapy to the chest for the treatment of cancer increases breast cancer risk. Risk depends on the dose of radiation and age of treatment. • Body weight. The chance of getting breast cancer after menopause is higher in women who are overweight or obese. • Drinking alcohol. The more alcohol a woman drinks, the greater her risk of breast cancer. • Physical activity. Women who are not physically active throughout life may have an increased risk of breast cancer. Strenuous exercise for more than four hours per week may decrease risk. • Breastfeeding. Women who have breastfed have a lower risk of breast cancer. • Pregnancy and Breast Cancer Risk - Hormone changes during pregnancy may influence a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer later in life.

Dr. Erika Grigg, MD
Dr. Garieann Fish, DO
WE ASKED OUR FACEBOOK FANS: If you are battling cancer or are a cancer survivor, what are some words of wisdom?
“As a four-year survivor, I'd say: my experience with breast cancer was a four-alarm wake up call. I'm grateful for the surgery and chemotherapy which saved me to live the second half of my life. But, I truly believe the only cancer cure is prevention. There are far too many toxins in this world. I'm giving my body a fighting chance by filtering my water, consuming organic foods, and thinking positive thoughts. God created a healthy natural supply for us. Clean air, clear water, and chemical free food are my basic prescriptions for a long and healthy future.” —Rose Klix “I find that I like myself much better ‘healed’ than I did ‘well.’” —Robin McReynolds Bernard
Dr. Rathi Narayan, MD
Dr. Garieann Fish, Dr. Erika Grigg and Dr. Rathi Narayan, the only three board certified female gastroenterologists caring for adults in the Tri-Cities area, urge all women to talk with their doctor about when to start and how often to have a mammogram. They also want to encourage all women age 50 and older to fight colon cancer by scheduling a screening colonoscopy. A colonoscopy is the first line of defense against colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States.

The Night of Halloween Jessica Beaver The Night of Halloween was written and illustrated by Jonesborough, TN native Jessica Beaver when she was only 10 years old. Now at age 14, she took a leap of faith and published this as her first book. A twelve-year-old boy named Luis is probably the only kid who doesn’t look forward to Halloween. The only thing he dislikes more than the holiday is his little sister’s pranks. To get even with her, he buys something that he hopes will scare her out of her skin – two jack-o-lanterns and a couple of strange candles. But little did Luis know that his actions would jeopardize all of Halloween!
Grandma, Tell Me About When You Were a Little Girl Kristin Hale “Grandma, tell me,” is the refrain that becomes a learning tool for a young girl who longs to know what life was like for her grandmother when she was a child.

Carrie Ranes had those dreams, and they included the handsome Tom Swank. When he asked her to be his bride, it seemed her dreams had come true, until she learned that Tom had a restlessness in him...and a roving eye.
