By: Kathy Manney / Around Our World In Sedona’s azure sky brightness sits the chapel Arizonans. It was voted one of the state’s Seven Man-Made Wonders. The Chapel of the Holy Cross is built against a backdrop of red rocks and is Sedona’s most recognized and beloved attraction. To reach the chapel, we traveled around a series of wide, swooping turns that followed a sculpted cliff line overlooking Sedona. The beautifully designed Chapel of the Holy Cross is distinctively built high into Sedona’s rocky cliffs and seen for miles. It was contracted by local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, who in 1932 was inspired to build the church after seeing the construction of the Empire State Building. Before World War 38 <strong>March</strong> <strong>2024</strong> Sedona’s Most Beloved Attraction II interrupted the plan, her proposal was to build a church in Budapest, Hungary. The changed proposal was to then build the church in her native Arizona. It took the assistance of the late Senator Barry Goldwater to obtain a specialuse permit to build the chapel on Coconino National Forest land - a location chosen for its beauty and picturesque view where the grandeur of immense space lifts spirits. Without the use of dynamite, twenty-five tons of rock was relocated. It took 18-months to complete the chapel in 1956, at a cost of $300,000.00. The following year, the American Institute of Architects gave the chapel its Award of Honor. As the sculptor said, “Though Catholic in faith, as a work of art, the Chapel has a universal appeal. Its doors will ever be open to one and all, regardless of creed, that God may come to life in the souls of all men and be a living reality.” The artsy tourist town of Sedona is clean and well-kept with plenty of overhead sky with an attractive main drag lined with storefronts housing interesting boutiques and gifts shops. Around Easter, tourists the world-over flock to the American Southwest, not only for its rare beauty, its vastness and year round sunshine, but to visit Sedona and the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Kathy draws her articles from a diverse personal background. She hopes readers enjoy her column as much as she enjoys the writing and sharing. When Your Knees Hurt By: Kyo Mitchell / A Healthier You As many individuals get older, their knees begin to hurt. While there are many causes for knee pain, one of the most common is a problem with the meniscus. Situated between the femur (thigh bone) and the tibial (leg bone) is a tough cartilaginous piece of tissue known as a meniscus. The meniscus is seen and having two parts - a lateral or outside portion and a medial or inside portion. The purpose of the meniscus is to serve as a shock absorber between the femur and tibia. For example, if you were to jump up and down and you did not have a meniscus, the femur and tibia would slam into one another causing damage to one or both. The meniscus, like many parts of the body, undergoes a lot of wear and tear through the continual use of the knees and legs. The wear and tear on the meniscus can be further exacerbated by injury. The most common injury is a shearing effect on the meniscus. This happens when a person turns their body while keeping their foot planted. During this process, the femur rotates while the tibia stays stationary - compressing and shearing the meniscus. Can the meniscus repair itself? The answer is it depends on where the injury occurred and how extensive it is. Approximately one third of the tissue that makes up the meniscus has a direct blood supply. The other two thirds does not have a direct blood supply. This is important because tissue which is avascular (without a direct blood supply) takes much longer to heal or may not heal at all. If the injury is in the vascular area and it is not too extensive, there is a possibility it will heal on its own. If it is in the avascular or it is too extensive, surgery it usually required. This surgery may be simpler where the surgeon shaves down the damaged part of the meniscus or more extensive which many people call “bone on bone” where the knee needs to be replaced.
