Lazy days of summer! Recently, I was running errands and trying to do too many things at once during evening hours that were way past normal business hours, when I saw something that took me back to a simpler time. While I was stopped at a traffic light, I noticed in a nearby front yard, a family sitting around, listening to one man playing a guitar, while two other adults were stringing and breaking green beans. Oh yeah, this country gal knows about stringing and breaking green beans! As they listened to the sweet sounds of the guitar, the three adults broke into song. Underneath a shade tree, during the cool hours of evening with their children playing in the yard, this family seemed to have found a way to slow down and enjoy the simpler things in life. No deadlines, no cell phones, no TVs, no computers, no hurries, no worries, just the pleasure of the pureness of the moment which can never be duplicated. By the time I arrived home, it was dark. So I poured myself a glass of my favorite red wine and sat on my balcony, listening to the silence of the night and watching the lightning bugs . . . yeah, the fireflies . . . under a bright, full moon. Yes – I love the lazy days of summer! With the lazy days of summer being for relaxation and July a month for celebration, Jan-Carol Publishing has a special reason for celebrating! It has been a year since the merger of Mountain Girl Press and Jan-Carol Publishing. JCP has grown and continues to grow, expand and improve! Thank you goes to all of you for the support to our authors, many being local, and your endless support to the magazine. Our year anniversary in publishing books can only mean that JCP will continue to grow and support talent on so many levels. A very special ‘Thank You’ goes to Tammy Robinson Smith, previous owner of Mountain Girl Press, for remaining with JCP in this transitional year. As we start a second chapter, stay tuned, changes are in the near future. (Please see our JCP pages with our listing of our authors and their books on page 22.) One way that you can show your support to us and local authors is to visit our booth at the Virginia Highlands Festival in Abingdon, VA. (Please see their ad on page 23.) JCP will be promoting books and the authors will be available for signings and selling their books. This is an annual event that brings locals and not so locals together with crafts, antiques, special items and lots of talent. Please show your local support and to the businesses advertising in Voice Magazine. Happy July 4th! Freedom is not ‘free’ and does come with a cost. We should celebrate by the words of a song – ‘some gave all and all gave some!’ Be safe on this holiday! Please follow us on Facebook and visit our websites, www.voicemagazineforwomen.com and wwwjancarolpublishing.com. Send inquiries and suggestions to comments@voicemagazineforwomen.com.

Verse of the month: “Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.” Proverbs 12:25 (KJV) Interpretation: “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” Thought of the month: “This life is what you make it. No matter what, you are going to mess it up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up… So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” – Marilyn Monroe

Someone Who Understands By Jim Liebelt
“Therefore, it was necessary for Jesus to be in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. He then could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. Since he himself has gone through suffering and temptation, he is able to help us when we are being tempted.” Hebews 2:17-18 (NLT) The story is told of a farmer who had some puppies he needed to sell. He made a sign advertising the pups and posted it in his yard. Shortly after, a boy showed up in response to the sign. “Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.” “Well,” said the farmer, “these puppies cost a good deal of money.” The boy reached deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?” “Sure,” said the farmer. The farmer whistled and called, “Here Dolly!” From the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little pups. The little boy’s eyes danced with delight. As the dogs approached, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little pup appeared, but this one was considerably smaller. The little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up. “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, “Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.” The little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and rolled up one leg of his pants revealing a steel brace running down both sides of his leg. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "Mister, I don't run too well myself, and that puppy needs someone who understands.” Not one of us is perfect. Everyone has flaws and weaknesses. Some are more visible than others, but we all have them. Fortunately, like the boy who chooses the pup, we have a Savior who knows and understands our feelings and our weaknesses and still chooses us to be His friends and children! And, in response, he wants us to demonstrate our love to one another! If you are one who struggles with your own flaws and shortcomings, today, take comfort in the knowledge of God’s love for you and then, share that love with someone else! Remember, the world is full of hurting people that are looking to connect with others who understand.

Bold colorful beads, dazzling jewels, floral accents and roped designs inspired the new accessory looks of the season! This is the summer to make an individual jewelry fashion statement!

It can make even more impact Accepting when layered, but, be careful, too Fall Consignments much can also take away from the Casual Wear, Career Wear, Formal Wear & Plus Sizes piece you want to show off. If you have never been wild about large and bold jewelry, and you find yourself timid about large jewelry, start with one dramatic piece. Then, as you get

Summer Beauty: A GUIDE TO FUN IN THE SUN By Crystal Robertson It’s summertime, and the living is easy. Whether you are gardening, spending time at the pool, or just soaking up the warm rays, the sun has the ability to refresh and energize. It can also cause beauty disasters. In ten minutes, your whole look may melt away in the heat. Try these summer beauty tips to keep you looking gorgeous while you have fun in the sun. Prevent dry, flaky skin. Harmful UV rays are the most obvious culprit in causing wrinkles and brown spots, but they can also make Crystal Robertson your skin and hair appear dry, so you look older than your years. Look for moisturizing lotions with added sun protection of at least 15 SPF. If you are going to be exposed for long periods of time, look for at least 30 SPF from a trusted skin care brand. These tend to feel lighter, not heavy and greasy like traditional sunblock can, and they come in a range of SPFs. Don’t forget your lips—use a lip balm with sun protection to keep them safe, too. Protect your skin. Besides causing your skin to look older, sun-damaged skin can lead to skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A good way to remember this is the iconic Australian slogan ‘Slip, slop, slap.’ Slip on a shirt, slop on the 30 or
higher SPF sunscreen, and slap on a hat. Later they added ‘seek’ shade or shelter and ‘slide’ on sunglasses for a complete prescription to avoid sun damage: slip, slop, slap, seek and slide. Go for the faux. “In fair skinned people, tanning of skin is a protective response to dangerous UV radiation, and tanned skin is usually damaged skin,” said TDH Chief Medical Officer David Reagan, MD, PhD. “Using a tanning bed hurts your skin just like the sun does, and should be avoided to prevent premature aging of your skin and skin cancer, which can be deadly.” Instead, go with a sunless tanner or tanning lotion if you want to maintain a healthy glow. Pretreat hair before you swim. Simply comb regular sunscreen through your strands before swimming for added sun protection. The sunscreen forms a barrier that prevents chlorine and salt water from stripping your color and drying out hair. You can also find new hair products containing UV-blocking boosters, and can be added to any of your favorite hairstyle products you already use. Keep your hair healthy. Water can be one of the harshest aggressors on hair and hair color. Bring a bottle of regular or deep conditioner with you to the beach and apply to hair between dips in the ocean or pool. Avoid melting makeup. Liquid and cream makeup often feels or even looks too heavy for hot summers. Skip liquid foundation and wear powder makeup that blends into your skin tone. If you'd like something lighter, translucent powders work well, and if you want heavier coverage, try mineral makeup in powder form. Lip and cheek stains are great ways to add bold color without wearing cream blushes and heavy lipstick. Wear a waterproof mascara to make sure it doesn't run just in case you sweat or have an impromptu afternoon at the pool. If your skin gets oily in the summer, pack some blotting papers in your purse so that you can blot away the extra oil without disturbing your makeup. Adding more powder to cover the shine, on the other hand, might make your makeup look cake-y. Get your glow on and breeze through summer beautifully.

Front Cover Photo Contest Winner PHOTO BY MARK MARQUETTE FEATURING SUSIE WALLING Thank you to all for entering our front cover contest for our July issue! We had so many outstanding pictures, and it was a difficult task in making a selection. We do hope that you find our July front cover as beautiful as we do, and we would like to introduce to you this lovely lady! Susie Walling loves nothing better than motoring around on her snazzy Vespa motor scooter. She has logged 3,000 miles around her Bristol, Virginia home. One of her favorite destinations is South Holston Dam for a little relaxation and meditation. Susie is a pioneering woman in technology, having built a successful driver training school that is now available on the Internet, as well as founding a website for the spiritual growth and remembrance of our human legacies. A proud product of our region, Susie Walling has benefited from all the area’s higher education centers. Susie attended Virginia Intermont College and received a BA in Business Administration in 1980. She attained from East Tennessee State University a Masters of Business Administration. Most recently, in 2007, Susie completed a second major of Psychology at King University in Bristol, Tennessee. Driving Training Inc. (DTI) in Bristol, Virginia and My Lasting Legacy website are Susie’s ideas to fulfill a public need. Both have a spiritual foundation as Susie has enjoyed a close, personal relationship with her Christian God since childhood. The Driving Training center is an answer to the lack of education training for new drivers as well as those sent by the traffic courts for mandatory retraining. Now in its 4th year, DTI has expanded to 16 off-site locations anchored by its main office near Bristol, Virginia’s Exit 5 on I-81. More than 2,000 students have benefited from DTI so far. Not satisfied with just reaching the “walk-in” traffic for new drivers and court-sent traffic offenders, Susie has recently utilized her tech-savvy skills to launch a new DTI class available on the Internet, where teacher and students will have a visually remote presence.

SUMMER THEATRE CAMP MAKES SPLASH With the addition of “Kidzeye Theatre” acting workshops to its line-up this summer, the pitter patter of young performers was heard on the floor boards at Johnson City Community Theatre in June! Heading up the program are Director/Playwright Chris Bernstein and Theatre Manager Thomas Townsend. “Kidzeye Theatre” is an established and well received program. Our method of workshops and scripts was published in a self-titled book back in 1995, with at least a dozen more plays added to the collection since then. We’ve been endorsed by Denver Public Schools, Rainbow Day Camp, and an interesting tidbit: Joanne Greenberg (“I Never Promised You A Rose Garden” ) was “angel contributor” for the project! During the workshops, students learn stage presence, blocking, character development, and much more. As a culmination of all of their fun and learning, the cast will perform their production for friends and family! The next workshop will run from July 15-18 (Mon-Thurs - 9am-4pm), with a performance of “Fountain of Age” on Friday, July 19th at 7pm. (Actors call: 5pm) Tuition: $150.00 For more information, or to enroll, contact us at: 423-926-2542 or kids@jcct.info or, contact Chris Bernstein directly by calling, 720-495-3332.

tomen’s jotorcycle jonth Among all motor vehicles, motorcycles are the most vulnerable on the road. Because motorcycles do not have seat belts, you can be thrown off your seat in a crash; which can result in serious injury or even death. Imagine your chance for survival if a truck strikes you, or if you strike it. Hitting a truck is like hitting a steel wall. However, your chance for survival will be increased if you wear a helmet and follow the safety tips below when riding your motorcycle.
BE READY: MIND, BODY, BIKE
Mind/Mental readiness: Before taking your bike out, your mind should be clear and drug and alcohol free in order to focus on the ride you have ahead of you. While this sport has been Body: You must be physically prepared. Protective male-dominated in the past, gear is a must in protecting your body while riding a women are taking to the motorcycle. Protective gear includes: a good fitting open road on a motorcycle helmet, gloves, eye protection, jacket, long pants, and now more than ever. sturdy boots or shoes. Note that reflective or bright colored protective gear will help you stand out in traffic. Physical fitness will help your riding in countless ways including, comfort on longer rides and better and sharper reflexes. Also, try some stretching exercises before you ride. Bike: Check the condition of your bike. This includes fixing the parts that break, as well as regular maintenance, such as: regular oil changes, properly adjusted controls, a properly adjusted chain and suspension, good tires, working turn signals and checking of tire pressure. A quick walk around the bike before riding could point out leaks, loose bolts, tire problems, or anything else out of place.

DRIVE TO SURVIVE Motorcycles are the smallest vehicles on the road. Unfortunately they provide virtually no protection in a crash. Other drivers may not see you on your motorcycle, so you must be aware of everything on the road. Ride with caution and drive defensively. Even though your motorcycle may be small, you must adhere to the laws of the road. Never ride in between lanes in traffic or share a lane with another vehicle. Don't instigate aggressive driving with other motorists; you will only increase your chance of a crash.
WATCH YOUR SPEED Of all vehicles, motorcycles accelerate the fastest, while trucks and buses are the slowest. Please watch your speed around trucks, especially in bad weather or at night. Colliding with the back of a truck will end your riding days.
MOTORCYCLE SAFETY Taking any of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) courses is always a good idea. If you are newer to riding, the Basic Rider Course (BRC) will give you a good foundation of riding skills and help you break any bad habits. The Experienced Rider Course (ERC) is a great idea even if you've been riding a long time. Even people who think there isn't anything left to learn about motorcycling come away with new, powerful knowledge and skills from either of these classes. The cornerstones to safe motorcycling are knowledge, training, attitude, and practice. They are what make a good rider.

Never hang out in a truck's blind spot or “No-Zone.� Trucks have large No-Zones on both sides; the front and behind the truck. Truck drivers cannot see you when you ride in these blind spots which allows for a greater chance of a crash. Because of their light weight and braking system, motorcycles can stop much faster than trucks. A truck may not be able to stop as quickly as you do, so you need to take special precautions to avoid crashes before they happen.
the most important piece of equipment you can wear when riding your motorcycle. A helmet could be your only source of protection in a serious crash.

A ‘shady’ business where the light keeps burning Lampshades date back to the late 17th century in Paris when the first public lanterns were used in the center of the streets. Later lampshades for oil lamps with wicks were deemed a necessity to direct the light. Later, with the invention of light bulbs, lampshades were used to disguise the intense electric light. Usage and trial and error directed the variety of different shapes, textures and materials. Even from our grandmother’s lampshades, materials ranged from paper, to fabric, to natural materials like tree leaves, animal hide, fur, to plastic. Shady Business, owned and operated by Nancy Harte, details and creates from the yesteryear to the contemporary lampshades, capturing personality and individual taste. “Today, lampshades styles, textures and fabrics have all changed to appeal to the individual. While the furnishings set the style of the home, lovely lamps and special accessories often give a home its unique flavor. With that philosophy in mind, I search out unique items to make into lamps and special pieces of antique furniture, mid1800’s to 1900 quadruple-plated silver trays and serving pieces, etched glass vases, and signed cast bronze bookends, all one of kind pieces. All these unique items will define a home with a very individual style.” Nancy Harte has been a resident of Abingdon, Virginia since 1982. Nancy’s previous involvement in arts and crafts, theater and cabinet and furniture design lead naturally to an interest in interior lighting. “I realized that there was a need for a specialty shade shop focusing in quality lampshades and lamp repairs in the Abingdon and Tri-Cities area.” Recognizing this need, Nancy opened Shady Business inside Hidden Memories Antiques Mall in January of 2010. As her business grew, there was a demand for more space. Recently, Nancy moved her business to its

Dining Diva Dines Out… By: Jennifer Maupin
Cleanliness, Service and Freshness . . . that’s Downtown Deli’s philosophy. Owners Tim Swinehart and Krissy Knipfing opened Downtown Deli on April 9th, 2013. Tim believes that food is an art and should be enjoyed. He believes in great customer service and having personal relationships with customers. It is what you find at Downtown Deli; a family friendly environment, closing early in the evening at 9:00 p.m. Tim created his restaurant for families, businesses and young people. He didn’t want it to be just another bar scene. He supports the local arts and local produce. His kitchen is open for customers to watch their food being prepared and to have full transparency. I was thrilled to be able to see Tim in action as he prepared my food. For my choice of meal, I chose to try the Monte Cristo. This sandwich is served on Sourdough French bread with turkey and melted Swiss cheese. The Monte Cristo comes with a honey dipping sauce and is covered in powdered sugar. Very sweet and very good! It comes with a side of chips, side salad, or pasta salad. I had the pasta salad for my side, which was oh, so, appetizing! Other sandwiches include: The Bird (smoked Turkey, smoked Gouda cheese, avocado, red onions, and pesto mayo), Veggie, Reuban, BLT, Roast Beef and Cuban. If a salad is what you are craving, Downtown Deli has a Greek salad, House salad, Cajun chicken salad, and the Mona (field greens, roasted red peppers, red onions, Roma tomatoes, prosciutto ham and smoked cheese.) All dressings are made in-house and food is prepared when you order it. Lettuce and tomatoes are chopped in the restaurant and the meats are smoked or braised in-house as well. Flatbread pizza is offered at Downtown Deli with choices such as Cheezy Herb, BBQ Chicken and Grecian. Next, it was time for my favorite part of any meal . . . Dessert! The dessert menu includes ice cream cones, ice cream sandwiches and floats (which the kids love!) For a pleasant lunch outdoors, customers may sit on the patio under umbrellas and enjoy the downtown view. Tim is very passionate about food and his restaurant. He says, “It’s all about the customers.” Downtown Deli is located off Buffalo Street and is a great place to experience unique foods, a wonderful atmosphere and friendly service.

Help Fight Cancer: Register Today for Cancer Prevention Study-3 Local residents from Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia are urged to help finish the fight against cancer by enrolling in an historic research effort known as Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). YWCA Bristol, in partnership with the American Cancer Society and Wellmont Health System, will serve as a host site for CPS-3 on Tuesday, Aug. 6 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. CPS-3 will give scientists a better understanding of cancer causes and prevention. The Society is looking for men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 from various racial/ethnic backgrounds with no personal history of cancer to help reach full enrollment of at least 300,000 people. “By joining this study, people can literally help us save lives, giving future generations more time with families and friends, more memories, more celebrations and more birthdays,” said Cara Ledbetter, Executive Director of the American Cancer Society, Tri-Cities. “As the official sponsor of birthdays, celebrating our own 100th birthday in 2013, we can think of no more valuable contribution to the cancer fight.” To join the fight against cancer, please complete the following steps: 1. Register online today at cps3northeasttn.org (for Tennessee residents) or cps3swva.org (for Virginia residents) and complete a survey. Registering early
allows you to pick the enrollment location and appointment time that best suits your schedule. 2. Attend one 25-minute enrollment session. Sessions will be held at YWCA Bristol Aug. 6 from 2 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.; additional enrollment sites include Bristol Regional Medical Center, Holston Valley Medical Center, Kingsport Hematology Oncology Associates, and Southwest Virginia Cancer Center Aug. 7 - 9. At enrollment, you will sign a consent form, complete a brief survey, provide a waist circumference measurement, and give a small blood sample. 3. Complete follow-up surveys every few years. Large-scale studies like CPS-3 are scientifically valid only if the Society can successfully track and “follow” participants over time. CPS-3 is the latest addition to the Society’s groundbreaking cancer prevention studies, which have been instrumental in helping identify major factors that can affect cancer risk. Researchers say CPS-3 holds the best hope of identifying new and emerging cancer risks. But its success depends on members of the community becoming involved. Researchers will use data from CPS-3 to build on evidence from those earlier cancer prevention studies, which began in the 1950s and involved hundreds of thousands of volunteer participants. For more information or to learn how to become involved with CPS-3, visit cps3northeasttn.org (TN) or cps3swva.org (VA), email cps3@cancer.org, or call toll-free 1-888-604-5888.

The ABC’s of Herbs An herbalist is someone who specializes in handling herbs for medicinal purposes. In some cases, an herbalist focuses on growing herbs, while others may harvest or collect herbs in the wild, and some offer herbal prescriptions and advice. In many cases, an herbalist performs all three tasks, managing his or her own stock of herbs to ensure that they are of high quality. The qualifications to become an herbalist vary widely, depending on the nation, and many nations have no set regulations for the practice of herbal medicine. In some regions of the world, herbalists can attend formal training programs and receive certification through an independent organization to ensure that they are well-versed in the practice of herbal medicine. In other instances, someone may apprentice with an herbalist before setting up an independent practice. The use of herbs in medicine is ancient, and in some parts of the world it is a practice which is considered on par with more mainstream medicine. In Asia, for example, many people see a Chinese herbalist who has studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for medical treatment. In many Western nations, herbalism is considered complementary or alternative medicine, and it may be disparaged by some medical professionals. An important part of herbalism is the identification of various herbs and what they can be used for in patient care. Since herbs do not have standardized ingredients like processed pharmaceuticals, an herbalist must also be skilled in collecting and storing herbs properly to ensure that they will work as intended. A professional and ethical herbalist is aware of drug interactions between various herbs and with mainstream pharmaceuticals, and he or she will carefully discuss a patient's situation before offering a prescription. Herbal supplements can be used in someone's diet to promote general health or address system conditions. Some people also take herbal supplements to change their weight or physical appearance. This is not generally recommended, for an assortment of reasons, not least of which is that some of the herbs used in weight loss in particular may actually be
dangerous. Herbs may also be taken in the form of teas, distillations, and essences for conditions ranging from menstrual cramps to uneasy stomachs. Although herbal medicine is “natural,” it can still be harmful, as some plants do contain toxins. It can also be dangerous to mix herbs and prescription medicines, so it is important to discuss all herbs, medications, and supplements you are taking with health care providers to receive the best care. In addition, you may want to consider seeking treatment from a doctor if herbal treatment does not appear to resolve a condition. A competent herbalist will usually welcome the additional input of medical testing and other diagnostic tools to treat a patient's condition Please follow Voice Magazine for Women in the ABC’s of Herbs during the months of July, August and September. We hope that you find it to be helpful and informative!
