Around Town Page 8 KEN WAYNE Photography / Gallery & Studio / Workshop By Jim Yonan PER I hope y'all had as much fun in the RIVER, lake and pools as I did this summer. I hate to see it going away. We had a luau party at the Elks Lodge. It was big fun I heard, but I was in Nashville for Elks meeting. Ask me about joining the Elks! I helped out at the Gatlinburg Chamber Golf Outing. It was big fun. This picture to the left is Richard and Victoria McCaa with their new soft serve ice cream machine at Hot Diggity Dawg located in the Elks Plaza downtown Gatlinburg. Stop in and get you a cone or a dog or something. They have great desserts too. Please tell them Jimbo sent you. Hope y'all have a great month. See you at the RIVER! Jimbo Soft serve ice cream now at Hot Diggity Dawg in Gatlinburg Science at Sugarlands Oct 19th - 1:00 - 3:00pm at Sugarlands Visitor Center Come out to Sugarlands Visitor Center to learn more about Beetles of the Smokies with Claire Winfrey from The University of Tennessee. Science at Sugarlands is a reoccurring event that falls on the third Friday of each month starting in May and going through October, from 1-3 PM. Each month DLIA brings a regional scientist or researcher in to give a talk about their research and increase awareness of the biodiversity around us. This event is free to the public and family friendly. Please come out and join us to learn more about life that surrounds us all! www.DLIA.org Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival To fully embrace the fall season, the City of Gatlinburg is expanding Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival to 12 weeks beginning Friday, September 7 through Sunday, November 25. The extension of Harvest Festival offers visitors more time to plan a trip to the Smokies during the peak of the fall season. “We could not live in a more picturesque area for viewing Fall color,” says Mark Adams, Gatlinburg CVB CEO/President. “We want to capitalize on the seasonal beauty by extending our Harvest Festival to the end of November thus giving visitors more opportunities to experience Autumn in the Smokies.” Fall events will continue as in year’s past including the traditional Chili Cookoff on Wednesday, November 7. The Winter Fest lights will be turned on that night, but there will not be an “official” kickoff ceremony. The popular Trolley Ride of Lights will begin as scheduled on November 8 and run nightly through December 31, then continue only on weekends through the end of January. As the temperatures drop, the festivities continue during Gatlinburg Winter Magic beginning November 30 running through the end of February. Traditional holiday events will run as scheduled including Festival of Trees on Thanksgiving weekend, Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Holiday Craft Shows, Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade, Winter Magic Tunes and Tales, Trolley Ride of Lights and New Year’s Eve Celebration. Gatlinburg is rolling out all the stops with NEW seasonal decorations. Gatlinburg Harvest Festival will feature over the top fall decorations including new life-size, 3-dimensional Scarecrow people. Likewise, Gatlinburg Winter Magic will feature new decorations including very merry, life-sized Snow people that capture the magic of the season.

Come join us for exciting celebrations throughout the year! Giant Deep Sea Coral Reef Discovered off South Carolina Coast by Bryan Nelson Photo: Nick Hobgood/Wiki Commons The importance of consuming foods high in Magnesium Continued from Page 6 by Dr. Mercola For example, it’s important to maintain the proper balance between magnesium, calcium, vitamin K2, and vitamin D. These four nutrients work together synergistically, and lack of balance between them is why calcium supplements have become associated with increased risk of heart attacks and stroke, and why some people experience vitamin D toxicity. Unfortunately, we don’t yet know the precise ideal ratios between all of these nutrients, but some general guidelines and considerations include the following: The ideal ratio between magnesium and calcium is currently thought to be 1:1. Keep in mind that since you’re likely getting far more calcium from your diet than you are magnesium, your need for supplemental magnesium may be 2 to 3 times greater than calcium. While the ideal or optimal ratios between vitamin D and vitamin K2 have yet to be determined, Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue (whom I’ve interviewed on this topic) suggests that for every 1,000 IU’s of vitamin D you take, you may benefit from about 100 micrograms (mcg) of K2, and perhaps as much as 150-200 mcg. As for how much vitamin D you need, I strongly recommend getting your vitamin D level tested twice a year (summer and winter) to help Continued from Page 7 The vitamins in cashews have a very important function of the body as antioxidants. Antioxidants help get rid of free radicals and improve the immune system. This means lower chances of getting sick with common and degenerative diseases and even cancer. These antioxidants are also It's not every day that you find a huge, previously undiscovered biological feature sitting right off a major U.S. coastline, but that's exactly what scientists manning the research vessel Atlantis stumbled upon while exploring some 160 miles off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. There, about a half mile below the ocean's surface, lies a dense forest of deep sea coral that stretches for at least 85 miles. It's a humongous ecosystem that has probably been developing for at least a few hundred thousand years. “This is a huge feature,” said Erik Cordes, the expedition's chief scientist, to the Huffington Post. “It’s incredible that it stayed hidden off the U.S. East Coast for so long.” “Just mountains of it,” he added. “We couldn’t find a place that didn’t have corals.” The existence of the reef, which was initially flagged from sonar mapping, was officially confirmed using a pair of submersible dives. The expedition's original mission was to explore uncharted canyons, gas seeps and coral ecosystems off the Atlantic coast. No one thought that they'd find something like this, though. determine your personal dosage. Sun exposure is the ideal way to optimize your levels, but if you opt for a supplement, your “ideal dosage” is one that will put you into the therapeutic range of 40 to 60 ng/ml. If Your Health and Energy Levels are Flagging, You May Need More Magnesium - Remember, your need for magnesium can be magnified by factors such as advancing age, stress, lack of sleep, alcohol consumption, insulin resistance and diabetes, prescription drug use, an unbalanced gut microbiome, poor kidney function, and more. If you have any of these risk factors, or if you eat a lot of processed foods, you may want to a) reconsider your diet and b) consider taking a magnesium supplement. Also remember that while it’s best to get your magnesium from your diet, many foods are likely to be deficient in magnesium and other minerals due to being grown in mineraldepleted soils. Fertilizers like glyphosate actually act as chelators, effectively blocking the uptake and utilization of minerals. As a result, I believe it would be prudent for most people to consider a magnesium supplement. Alternatively, juice your vegetables, which will allow you to consume FAR more of them than you ever could if you ate them whole. reliable in weight control by boosting the metabolism of the body. Healthier Stronger Teeth, Gums and Bones The magnesium in cashews allows the body to absorb calcium effectively. And when calcium is absorbed properly by the body, you are assured of healthier and stronger bones and teeth. As we grow old, the bones and teeth Ripley’s Haunted Adventure will hold its 20th Annual Fright Nights show. Stay tuned for the upcoming theme for the shows. Visitors can enjoy a screaming good time at become more brittle. But with enough calcium, the health of the bones and teeth are maintained. Magnesium also helps keep the gums strong in order to hold the teeth better. Reduces the Chance of Having Gallstones Gallstones are deposits formed into “stones” and are usually made with accumulated cholesterol. Having gallstones can greatly The live corals are living upon giant mounds of rubble that were constructed by the corals that came before them. It's a massive piece of scaffolding that accumulates as corals die and leave their skeletal remains behind. Cordes estimates that coral has likely been growing here for millennia. He also predicts that the reef probably plays a keystone role in the region's fisheries. The team witnessed at least one giant swordfish cruising over the corals during their time in the submersible. The find comes as the Trump administration is proposing an expansive offshore drilling plan that could stretch up and down the Atlantic coast. Researchers hope that their findings will stall those plans, or at least strengthen efforts to designate protected zones. Given that these coral reefs are a new, previously unstudied ecosystem, it's unclear just how sensitive the region's ecology might be to oil and gas exploration. It's a remarkable discovery, and proof of just how little we know about the ocean's ecosystems. Hopefully it won't disappear before we get a chance to truly explore and understand this natural wonder. Ripley’s Fright Nights these shows on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights in October as well as October 1-31. For the regular cost of admission, visitors can experience this multi-million dollar, yearround haunted house with a new theme and new ghouls stalking its dark corridors.

Although some develop gallstones because of genetics, others develop it when overweight, have an unhealthy diet or taking medications. Having cashew in the diet help prevent these deposits from forming in the gallstone. The antioxidant properties of cashew can be thanked for this benefit.
