In a 2015 Gallup poll of more than 5,400 Americans, 60 percent believed chiropractic is an effective treatment for neck and back pain. It’s true that chiropractors manipulate, or adjust the spine to improve pain and mobility, but the benefits may extend beyond the back. By using varying degrees of force in an effort to adjust misaligned joints, chiropractors try to improve the relationship between the spine and nervous system, which they believe may affect the function of all the organs and systems in the body.

Who doesn't like banana pudding? It is the signature dessert of the South. Here is a variation of that yummy classic. I like strawberries almost as much as I like bananas.

I first made this variation in June of 2013 as a dessert for the Wednesday Night Bible Study Supper at Revival Vision Church of God. I delighted in introducing a dish the group wasn't familiar with. This is a tasty example.

The hill above where the barn once stood is speckled with new homes. It’s surely hard for the people who live there to imagine a time when a small lone farm house stood on the level ground below their development.

Calling students and teachers for an all-expenses-paid summer learning opportunity! Each summer, Appalachian students and teachers join award-winning scientists at Tennessee’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to conduct research projects focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). Many participants come from Appalachia’s most economically distressed counties and often gain their first major exposure to applied science and STEM education in Oak Ridge.

Bryan Wheble has been the Pastor at Revival Vision Church of God in Maynardville for five years. In his time within the community, he has been a part of many projects working toward growth in drug and alcohol education in youth and families.

Discovering the Win-Win

Sitting unassumingly on the corner of Sharps Chapel Road and Lakeview, No Wake Market and Grill doesn’t exactly scream for your attention. However, if you make the stop, you’ll find most everything you need for a day on the lake, a picnic in the park or a relaxing, delicious meal with friends and family in the large dining area or on the outdoor deck. The business reopened November 2017 with new owners.

It drives me crazy as a reader. And as an author, I have never used this scenario and I never will. Have you ever read a book or short story about two people seeing each other across a crowded room and falling madly in love with each other? I’m talking they want to get married that second and they don’t even know each other’s names.

It’s not that I don’t believe in love at first sight. I don’t believe in the over used scenario in the above paragraph. What about you? Do you believe it’s truly possible to look into somebody’s eyes for the first time and fall in love?

Compared to the other seasons, winters seem pretty colorless, with the leaves off the trees and laying brown on the ground. But through closer observation you can see plants that remain green through the winter, and seeing or perhaps even identifying them can brighten up a winter hike in the woods. What follows are some of the more common green plants you will find in our area.
