Page 4 Around Town By A. Jann Peitso “Once Upon a time in a cornfield there lived a scarecrow and his scarecrow wife and their little scarecrow boy” so begins a treasure of a tale by Margaret Wise Brown. The little scarecrow boy learns lessons from his father and he begins testing that knowledge as well as proving his own potential. In the Arts & Crafts Community, Sept 5 – Nov 25, scarecrows abound along the 8 mile loop and its environs. They are further proving the creative skills and potential of the artisans who live and work there. Plan to Do The Loop, drive around, visit the businesses and take photos of these creative Gatlinburg artisans' scarecrows. Like the 1940's The Little Scarecrow Boy, many of the craftspeople In The Loop learned the skills that they possess from their fathers, mothers, grandparents or a caring neighbor who noticed the shine in a child's eyes as he or she intently watched the whirring of some tool or the quickly moving hands as “something was created from almost nothing”. These craftspeople learned to take those passed-down lessons from another generation to hone, test and prove their own worthiness as a Noted Artisan in their field of expertise. Many of these artisans now offer instruction time for those who wish to receive “passed on” techniques that have “withstood the test of time”. We specialize in handmade soy candles, soaps, and fragrant air fresheners (865) 325-8142 Crafts & Gifts Hand-Crafted in the Smoky Mountains Located at the Covered Bridge in the Glades Gatlinburg's Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community You as a visitor will notice “Create Your Own” banners in shops or you may ask your craftsperson as you are engaged in conversation if they offer such instruction or “Hands On” experiences. Not everyone visiting the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community will have the desire to actually “make something” and take an original piece of handwork home, but for those who do, it will be a celebration of spirit. And for those who cherish the work of a handcrafted piece, created by the person that you call “my friend”, visiting In The Loop is your opportunity to purchase a true collectible. There are over 100 working craftspeople ready to talk with you and to explain how they do what they do. Like The little Scarecrow Boy, the arts & crafts community is an enduring portrait of family relationships and values, an eight mile loop of passing knowledge from one generation to the next and the pure joy that comes with reaching one's creative potential.

Since 2002, Abbey Road LIVE! has been rocking the music of the Beatles at clubs, theatres, festivals and private events. Initially, a tribute to the monumental “Abbey Road” album, the band has expanded its scope to include more than 100 Beatles tunes, from all eras of the Fab Four’s career. The band specializes in complete, start-to-finish album performances of masterpieces such as “Abbey Road”, “Magical Mystery Tour”, “Rubber Soul”, “Revolver” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Live Music & Tasty Food Make a Great Combination Five Star Rated Hot Dogs, Chili & BBQ! 865-325-1004 Join us for snacks, songs & shade! 968 Parkway, Downtown Gatlinburg (In the Elks Plaza) Gatlinburg’s Taste of Autumn featuring Abbey Road Live Club Band”. Abbey Road LIVE! is not your typical Beatle look-alike tribute act; don’t expect mop-top haircuts and vintage Rickenbacker guitars. Rather, this show is about bringing to life some of the more mature and complex Beatles material in a raw & spirited fashion, while remaining true to the original recordings. Combining attention to detail with a creative exuberance, the band always delights its audiences with its diverse repertoire of hits and more obscure favorites. Abbey Road LIVE! is made up of four all-star musicians from the infamous Athens GA music scene that gave the world R.E.M., Widespread Panic, and B-52s. Collectively the band members have recorded and toured regularly with Cosmic Charlie, Charlie Mars, and Fuzzy Sprouts. Individual band members have also collaborated with acts such as Indigo Girls, Juliana Hatfield, Mike Houser (Widespread Panic), Danielle Howle and Lemonheads. While the four lads from Athens GA generally perform as a quartet, they have also been known to recruit the “Magical Mystery Horns” and the “Lonely Hearts Strings”, lending authentic accompaniment to the more elaborately orchestrated tunes. The latest addition to the Abbey Road LIVE! musical arsenal is a real Indian sitar and tables. At a typical Abbey Road LIVE! the show, audiences young and old can be found gleefully singing along with every word, many in utter disbelief at getting to hear this monumental music performed live; something that even the Beatles themselves never did, since they stopped touring in 1966.
Around Town Page 5 Gatlinburg Pickers By Danny Lewis As I was doing my morning devotion, I was interrupted by this strong impulse from above to do something I've never done before. So I called the Gatlinburg Fire inspector and shared with him what had happened and asked what area or place or people had needs and that I wanted to help. Anyway, I soon learned that one of the schools here, Jones Cove Elementary had many needs. I drove out to meet some of the staff and the very nice principal Rodney Helton. So I told him that Jesus had put this in my heart to help do something to raise money for whatever they may need...bare in mind I have never done anything like this before. I first thought of Dolly and all the wonderful things she's done for so many here that I wanted to do something in her name to honor her...so.. I came up with this idea..to have a Coat of Many Colors hand made and shadow boxes and being an auctioneer I will auction it off to the highest bidder along with as many applicable items as we can get ..and or check..cash..etc..and 100% will go to install a security camera system as they have no way of knowing who's coming or going in and around the school. And as you know in this world today there can't be enough protection. S o l e t ' s g e t t o g e t h e r a n d h e l p protect...OUR CHILDREN. Drop off center is to be at one location which is across the street from Hillbilly Golf. Checks are made out to Jones Cove Elementary. They can be mailed or dropped off at American Sideshow, 373 Parkway Gatlinburg, TN 37738. And you can call me Danny at 423-432-9476. Again, every single dime given will go totally to Jones Cove Elementary. This should be fun...oh needing that special person to make the coat of many colors...size about like a second grader..then I'll shadow box it and have your name done in a bronze style plaque in your honor...so thanks all...

Parkway, #10, Gatlinburg Critical Health News Cold Here By Pharmacist Ben Fuchs cryticalhealthnews.com You don’t hear a lot about it, but it’s one of the most ubiquitous of the all the vitamins. It’s called pantothenic acid, a named derived from the Greek word “pantheon”, meaning “found in all quarters”. Indeed, the nutrient, also known as Vitamin B5, is an essential constituent of every one of the 100 trillion cells in the body. B5’s main role is to help the body process and utilize lipids; it facilitates fat burning inside cells. It’ can be a helpful supplement to speed healing, especially of the skin and the digestive tract. Its also a player in the production of anti-aging steroid hormones associated with growth, repair and fertility But, pantothenic acid is not only valuable as an internal nutrient. When it’s topically applied it can have some interesting and helpful cosmetic effects too. One of the most important benefits of pantothenic acid, in its topical form, is its effect on acne. Its fat processing properties help the skin slow down excessive secretion of oils, reducing shine and helping eliminate facial and back acne. Pantothenic acid used directly on the skin has anti-inflammatory and antiirritant properties too. It can prevent he formation of scars and speed the healing of broken and wounded skin. It has also been effectively used to treat burns and surgical wounds. The first beneficiaries of the power of panthenol were soldiers. In the 1940's Swiss Medical researchers seeking new treatments for burn victims during World War Two, came up with the idea of We are moving to - 1349 East Pkwy in Gatlinburg Proudly the largest liquor store and selection in Sevier County since 1983.

Parkway, Gatlinburg • 865-436-5287 PLEASE Around Town Don’t Feed The Bears A Fed Bear is a Dead Bear using the vitamin topically. In short order, the drug company Hoffman Laroche, best known for their invention of Valium, came up with the idea of using it to beautify the hair. In 1947 they started to manufacture a shampoo featuring the vitamin. They called it “Pantene”. It became one of the most successful and iconic hair care brands ever and is still one of the bestselling shampoos in the world. If you want to take advantage of the power of panthenol for preventing hair breakage, improving shine and radiance or if you want to use the vitamin to improve skin health, you don’t need to spend money on fancy products. It’s easy to go the “doit-yourself” route as pure panthenol, the cosmetic form of Vitamin B5, is inexpensive and readily available on the internet. It comes as a viscous liquid that can be directly added to shampoos or skin creams and lotions. But you are going to have to make sure you use a healthy dose. According to information published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science, it takes 1.0% panthenol to have an effect on skin integrity. In my experience I’ve had to use even more. If you find the liquid form too difficult to work with (and it is quite sticky), powdered panthenol is also available. You can dissolve two teaspoonfuls to a cup of water to make a 4.0% solution. Store it in the fridge and add as desired to your favorite hair and skin care products making your own homemade panthenol rich beauty products. by Dr. Mercola Magnesium is vitally important for biological function and optimal health. It’s the fourth most abundant mineral in your body, and researchers have detected more than 3,750 magnesiumbinding sites on human proteins. More than 300 different enzymes also rely on magnesium for proper function. This reflects the impact magnesium has on your biochemical processes, many of which are crucial for proper metabolic function. This includes not limited to: •Creation of ATP (adenosine triphospate), the energy currency of your body •Relaxation of blood vessels •Muscle and nerve function, including the action of your heart muscle •Proper formation of bones and teeth •Regulation of blood sugar and insulin sensitivity, which is important for the prevention of type 2 diabetes (In one study, prediabetics with the highest magnesium intake reduced their risk for blood sugar and metabolic problems by 71 percent) Lack of Magnesium Can Trigger Serious Health Problems - If you’re lacking in cellular magnesium, it can lead to the deterioration of your cellular metabolic function, which in turn can snowball into more serious health problems. This includes migraine headaches, anxiety and depression (magnesium acts as a catalyst for mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin), fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disease, sudden cardiac death and even death from all causes. Magnesium also plays a role in your body’s detoxification processes (including the synthesis of glutathione) and is therefore important for minimizing damage from toxic exposures. Perhaps most importantly, magnesium is vital for the optimization of your mitochondria, and this has enormous potential to influence your health, especially the prevention of cancer, but also for general energy and athletic performance. T h e I m p o r t a n c e o f M a g n e s i u m f o r Mitochondrial Health - Mitochondria are tiny bacteria-derived organelles residing inside your cells. Your organs need energy to function properly, and that energy, known as adenosine triphospate or ATP, is largely produced in the mitochondria. Mounting evidence suggests that most health problems can be traced back to mitochondrial dysfunction, so making sure you get the right nutrients and precursors your mitochondria need for optimal performance is extremely important for health, disease prevention, and exercise performance. Magnesium plays an important role, without it, 600 Glades Rd #10 Gatlinburg The importance of consuming foods high in Magnesium other strategies aimed at improving mitochondrial health simply may not work. Take athletic performance for example. It is in part dependent on your oxidative capacity, meaning the ability of your muscle cells to consume oxygen, and your oxidative capacity relies on your mitochondria’s ability to produce ATP by consuming oxygen inside the cell. You can increase your oxidative capacity in two ways, and both require magnesium: •Increasing the total number of mitochondria in your cells by engaging in exercise. However, in order for new mitochondria to be created, you must have sufficient amounts of magnesium. •Increasing the efficiency of your mitochondria to repair damage and produce ATP. This process also requires magnesium as a co-factor. How Much Magnesium Do You Need? A century ago, people got an estimated 500 milligrams (mg) of magnesium from their diet, courtesy of the nutrient-rich soil in which the food was grown. Today, estimates suggest we’re only getting 150 to 300 mg a day from our food. Organic unprocessed foods tend to be your best bet, but since the magnesium content of your food depends on the richness of magnesium in the soil in which the plant was grown, even organics are no guarantee you’re getting high magnesium content. Most soils have become severely depleted of nutrients, and for this reason, some magnesium experts believe virtually everyone needs to take supplemental magnesium. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) is around 310 to 420 mg per day depending on your age and sex, although some researchers believe we may need as much as 600 to 900 mg/day for optimal health. Dr. Carolyn Dean, author of “The Magnesium Miracle,” suggests using your intestinal reaction as a marker for your ideal dose. Start out by taking 200 mg of oral magnesium citrate per day, and gradually increase your dose until you develop slightly loose stools. When your body has too much magnesium it flushes it out the other end, so in this way you can determine your own individual cutoff point. (Be sure to use magnesium citrate, as it’s known for having a laxative effect. It’s also better to divide your dose and take it two or three times a day instead of one large dose.) When it comes to magnesium supplements, my personal preference is magnesium threonate. It seems to be most efficient at penetrating cell membranes, including your mitochondria, which can help boost your energy level. It also penetrates your blood-brain barrier and may help improve memory. Continued to Page 6
