Regis Philbin Will Christen Titanic Museum Attraction on Thursday, April 8th PIGEON FORGE, Tennessee – February 16, 2010 ² 7KH QHZ PLOOLRQ GROODU permanent Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. will open on Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 10 a.m. with a star-studded Grand Opening hosted by Regis Philbin. The event, which is open to the public, also will be attended by descendants and family members of those onboard the Titanic and includes a christening of the ship. Philbin, best known for his television shows including Live With Regis & Kelly (Kathie Lee) and Who Wants to be A Millionaire, will serve as master of ceremonies during the Grand Opening. Philbin’s tele-

vision career started more than \HDUV DJR ZKHQ KH ZDV D reporter in San Diego. Since that time, he has become a national fixture with a string of Emmy Award-winning shows. The christening and Grand Opening events, which take place outside of the Titanic Museum Attraction, are free and open to the public. Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge is a half-scale, permanent, three-deck reproduction of the Titanic. The museum houses 20 galleries to display hundreds of authentic, priceless Titanic artifacts that were either carried from the ship and into lifeboats by passengers and crew, or were found afloat soon after the sinking and

quickly salvaged by rescue boats. Inside the Titanic Museum, visitors find full-size reproductions (built to actual Titanic blueprints) of a First Class suite, First Class hallways, Third Class accommodations and – the museum’s centerpiece – a $1 million exact reproduction of the Titanic’s Grand Staircase. The First Class suite will be a tribute to Isidor and Ida Straus, owners of Macy’s Department Stores, which was also the cabin used in James Cameron’s blockbuster movie Titanic as Rose’s suite. “We pay respect to Titanic by telling the story of the ship and her passengers,� said John Joslyn, owner of the new Titanic

Weekend Weather

CHEROKEE, NC – Today, Principal Chief Michell Hicks and the Tribal Council of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee met with Duke Energy President Brett C. Carter regarding Duke Energy’s Hyatt Tie in Substation in Swain County. Tribal officials voiced concerns that the substation, currently under construction, presents a significant negative impact to the tribe’s Kituwah site. Kituwah (pronounced Gee-doo-wah) is known as the mother town of the Cherokee and is regarded as the most sacred site still in existence for the Cherokee people. Principal Chief Hicks said, “We wanted to open the discussion about the substation with Duke Energy so they are aware of our concerns. Our primary concern is that this discussion was not held prior to planning and execution of this project. The Tribe has always had a positive relationship with Duke however our first priority is to protect the sacred site of Kituwah for future generations.� Duke Energy President Carter met with Principal Chief Hicks and Principal Chief George Wickliffe of

the United Keetowah Band of Cherokee from Oklahoma before joining the EBCI Tribal Council. Duke Energy staff presented the plan for the project, currently being constructed on an adjacent hillside, and offered a series of mitigation plans to minimize the negative impact which has tribal leaders concerned. Possible mitigation includes the utilization of materials and wildlife plantings to minimize visual impact. Several tribal members were also in attendance as were officials from Swain County. Chief Hicks continued, “I am confident that Mr. Carter is fully aware of our concerns and that together we can work toward a resolution which protects the integrity of this site while meeting the need for energy in the region. Kituwah is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites and considerations for its protection are paramount for both Swain County and the Tribe.� EBCI leaders expect to work with Duke Energy in the coming weeks to propose solutions which are amenable to both interests.

Museum Attraction. “Visitors learn the individual stories of those onboard the ship as they are learning about the ship itself. We have spent years researching these people – and their stories are absolutely amazing. “In addition to an unparalleled collection of artifacts, we have built the Titanic Museum as a completely interactive attraction. You hear the wonderful stories as you’re going through the museum, but you are also experiencing things the way they were in 1912 when Titanic sailed. It’s one thing to hear about the men who shoveled coal into the boilers – but it comes to life for you when you pick up that shovel and feel

what it means to shovel coal into a furnace.� In addition to being a world class museum in the truest sense of the word, Titanic Pigeon Forge is also highly interactive and offers a hands-on experience for children, teenagers and adults. The ship is anchored in water to create the illusion of Titanic at sea, and a two hour self-guided tour gives guests the sensation of sailing on the original ship’s 1912 maiden voyage. Upon entry, each guest receives a boarding pass bearing the name of an actual Titanic passenger or crew member whose fate is revealed on the Memorial Wall at tour end. Along the way, powerful emotions surface as guests:

Are Doctors Missing Diabetics? MADISON, Wis. -- If you are 45 years and older, overweight and have high-risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, you should ask your doctor for a diabetes test during routine visits, says Dr. Ann Sheehy, a hospitalist at University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics. “Since Type 2 diabetes is often asymptomatic, most people are not aware they have the disease until they have a blood test showing elevated blood glucose,” she said. Doctors may also miss the diagnosis because one of the two main national screening guidelines they use doesn’t identify about one-third of those with diabetes. That’s what Sheehan and collaborators found in a study comparing the two guidelines—one from the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the other from the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). According to the study, the USPSTF guideline, which recommends diabetes screening only for people with high blood pressure, missed the mark substantially. The ADA test was much more reliable. (CONTACT: Mike Klawitter, mklawitter@uwhealth.org; 608265-8199) Better Tests for Prostate Cancer MADISON , Wis. -- A test in the pipeline could help avoid the confusion surrounding prostate screening. The standard screening test today, the PSA test, may expose too many men to needless procedures that have potential side effects. “We need better tests to allow us to predict the biology of these cancers so we can do a better job of identifying who needs treatment and who doesn’t,” says Dr. David Jarrard, a professor of urology at UW School of Medicine and Public Health. The new test measures levels of ionized calcium in the blood. Researchers at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health have

found that men who had the highest levels of ionized calcium were three times more likely to die later of prostate cancer. The test, currently in development, could give a better indication of when to treat the cancer, or when to wait and watch. Such a test could be most useful when deciding whether to do a biopsy of a suspected prostate tumor, says Jarrard. (CONTACT: Toni Morrissey, tmorrissey@uwhealth.org ; 608263-3223) Driving on Shaky Footing? MADISON , Wis. – Broken a bone due to icy sidewalks? Your next question probably is whether it’s safe to drive while wearing a cast. A University of Wisconsin foot-and-ankle specialist who recently completed a preliminary study of the question says the answer is clearly no. Dr. Kurt Rongstad, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at UW School of Medicine and Public Health, did a simulated-driving research study on driving with a cast. Rongstad now tells his patients that orthopedic boots or “cam walkers” slow braking time enough that driving while wearing them is unsafe. “Usually I like to base my opinions on evidence-based medicine, but there weren’t any studies on the topic,’’ he said. So he decided to create one. The timed-reaction study required the 42 subjects to lift their right foot off the gas pedal, move to the brake, and depress the brake pedal after a light flashed. It took about 25 percent longer for them while wearing casts than while wearing regular shoes. “Clearly and statistically, we found that braking time was inferior with the high or short-leg cam walker,’’ he said.

Shuler Praises Establishment of Bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility & Reform Washington, DC – Today, Representative Heath Shuler (D-Waynesville) expressed his support for the President’s establishment of a bipartisan commission created to evaluate federal spending and recommend measures to reduce the national debt. President Barack Obama signed an executive order yesterday to create the debt commission which has been dubbed the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. Congressman Shuler previously called upon the President to establish a bipartisan independent commission, like the one created today, to scrutinize government spending and propose cuts to reduce wasteful and unnecessary expenditures. “This Commission will put this Congress and this government back on track with regard to fiscal responsibility. Now that PAYGO rules have been signed into law and a bipartisan debt commission has been established, we are on our way to reeling in the national deficit,” said Congressman Shuler. “I am disappointed that the Senate did not pass legislation establishing this commission, but pleased that the President realizes the importance of fiscal responsibility. This commission will guarantee that the actions our government makes today will not become burdens on the backs of future generations.” As a leader in the Blue Dog Coalition, Congressman Shuler plays

a significant role in drafting, cosponsoring and enacting fiscally responsible legislation such as the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) budgetary rules and the Securing America’s Future Economy (SAFE) Commission. PAYGO rules became law on February 4, 2010. In late January, Shuler and the Blue Dog Coalition outlined a 15 point plan, the “Blue Dog Blueprint for Fiscal Reform,” aimed at cutting spending and balancing the budget. In just a few short weeks, two key elements of the Blueprint, PAYGO rules and an independent debt commission, have been put into place. The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform aims to reduce the deficit which is currently above 4 percent to 3 percent of the gross domestic product by 2015. Under the plan, an 18-member commission will seek out wasteful spending in the federal budget and suggest budget cuts to the Congress. The House and Senate will be required to agree to the cuts by a supermajority, or two-thirds. Congressional Democrats and Republicans will each appoint six members of the commission and President Obama will appoint six, with no more than four members aligned with the same political party. The recommendations proposed by the bipartisan commission require the support of 14 of the 18 members in order to be taken up by Congress.

For Immediate Release Robbinsville, NC – Prior discussion and information distributed by individuals directly or indirectly involved with the appeal of the judge’s decision involving County Commissioners and the Election Board have been in the hundred thousand dollar range. The truth of the matter is, the amounts recently reported on more than one occasion is the opinion of one individual and does not accurately reflect the actual cost estimates of our attorney or the attorney for the NCACC. This press release is to clarify the amount of attorney fees Graham County Government expects to

The Smoky Mountain Animal Care Foundation Receives $250,000 Donation from PetSafe for Phase II of Blount County Animal Shelter Onsite Press Conference at the Animal Shelter 10 a.m. - February 23 233 Currie Avenue Maryville, TN 37804 Phone (865) 980-6244 Phase II of the Blount County Animal Center reached its campaign goal of $490,000 with a landmark donation of $250,000 from PetSafe. The Phase II “ Campaign for Compassion ” officially launched September 1 with a $50,000 donation from long time Blount County residents Don and Carol Story in honor of their current and past pets. In January, The Charles and Sue Fouche Charitable Trust donated $200,000 to the campaign raising the reserve to over the halfway mark. The Phase II estimated cost of $490,000 includes the Adoption Center portion of the Blount County Animal Shelter comprised of the Public Lobby, Surgery Center, Adoption rooms, Featured Pet rooms, Educational area, Director Office, Kitchen and Bathing/Grooming room. Chris Protzman, President of Smoky Mountain Animal Care Foundation stated, “Randy Boyd and his talented staff at PetSafe have been with us from the start dating back to March of 2007. This grant has been a goal of theirs for the last several years and we are delighted to have this support at this critical time of the project. We are honored to celebrate this gift today, February 23, National Spay Day, in honor of the hard work and committed effort PetSafe has shown to pet owners over the years and to the needs of our local shelters here in East Tennessee.” Spay Day is about educational outreach on the benefits of Spay and Neutering to reduce unwanted pets and reduce shelter populations. This Adoption Center will be at the epicenter of that effort here in Blount County thanks to the Storys, Fouches and now, PetSafe. About PetSafe® Headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, PetSafe ® is the industry leader in the management of pet behavior, offering pet training,

containment, safety and lifestyle product solutions. PetSafe® introduced the first do-it-yourself electronic fence to the pet market in 1991 and the first wireless fence in 1998.

For more information about PetSafe ® , visit: www.petsafe.net . The Blount County Animal Shelter project original estimate of $1.6 million was established mid2007 when the initial Phase I was started with seed money of $350,000 from the Blount County Commission. Since that initial allocation, the Commission authorized another $197,000 to get Phase I operational in a “bare bones” state. This was so that basic County Animal Control services could begin a base in Blount County and no longer require daily trips to Loudon County, which had offered their shelter services as stop-gap for the county to use until the Center was operational. Phase I was defined as basic Animal Control services including kennels, administrative office(s), bathroom facilities and storage. Upon Phase II completion, Smoky Mountain Animal Care Foundation will have contributed over $1,080,000 to date toward the total $1.6 million construction project. The major construction donor Brunton Masonry has lead the group along contributions by Willocks Block, Harrison Concrete, Vulcan Materials, Ameristeel, Tindell’s Supply, Webb Plumbing, Garage Doors of Maryville and Anderson Truss filling out the list of significant material and gift-inkind donors.

Elizabeth Ellison Demo of Watercolor Techniques for Art League By Eugenia L. Johnson Director, Swain County Center for the Arts Artist and paper maker, Elizabeth Ellison , will demonstrate a variety of watercolor techniques used in three different flower shapes at the Art League of the Smokies meeting on Monday, March 1, at 6:15 pm at Swain County Center for the Arts in Bryson City, NC . Flowers she will demonstrate include Cosmos, Queen Annes Lace, flowers with indistinct flowering parts and possibly an iris if time permits. Sponsored by the NC Arts Council, Swain County Center for the Arts and Swain County Schools , anyone who is interested in learning more about painting in watercolor is invited to attend free of charge. This program received support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the department of Cultural Resources. Ellison had the first exhibit at Swain County Center for the Arts in September 2000 when the facility opened and exhibited there again in 2003. She donated a large watercolor painting of Bryson City called Bridge to Bridge to the permanent collection of Swain County Center for the Arts. In addition to watercolor painting, Elizabeth Ellison also does acrylic and oil paintings, pottery, and makes her own paper. She often paints directly on the paper she makes from native Appalachian plants or uses her handmade papers to create texture collages in her watercolor or acrylic paintings. Local landscapes, native flowers and wildlife are among the subjects Ellison depicts in her unique impressionistic style that uses both traditional and oriental techniques along with American Indian motifs. To view artwork by Elizabeth Ellison , go to her website at www.elizabethellisonwatercolors.com. Ellison is the owner and operator of Elizabeth Ellison Watercolors, a studio and gallery located in the Old Clampitt Hardware Building on the town square in Bryson City , NC . She has exhibited and sold widely throughout the United States for more than 30 years and was the featured artist in the Spring 2007 edition of APPALACHIAN HE RITA GE, a literary quarterly of the

Southern Appalachians published by Berea College . A native of Milton , NC , Ellison is of Occaneechi Indian descent on her mothers side of the family. She and her husband, George, have resided in the Great Smokies region of Western NC since the early 1970s. Elizabeth Ellison is an experienced instructor, as well as an accomplished artist. She has taught many workshops for various institutions, including local community colleges, the Blue Ridge Watermedia Society, John C. Campbell Folk School and the Appalachian Center for Crafts. She currently teaches workshops at the North Carolina Arboretum and will offer several three-day workshops in the Bryson City area in the summer of 2010. The History Press based in Charleston , SC , has published several books by George Ellison, including BLUE RIDG E NATURE JOURNAL, which is a collaboration between George and Elizabeth Ellison . She did the cover paintings for all his books, as well as illustrations to the texts. The two worked with The Great Smoky Mountains Association on the introduction and cover painting for SMOKY MOU NTAI N MAGI C, a previously unpublished novel by Horace Kephart. It was released in October 2009. In addition, Ellison has also had her artwork published in the Asheville Citizen-Times, Blue Ridge Outdoors, Outdoor Traveler, Friends of Wildlife: The Journal of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation, High Vistas, and Chinquapin: The Newsletter of the Southern Appalachian Botanical Society. Ellison’s watercolors were included in Fodor’s Guide to the National Parks and Seashores of the East (1994). Her artwork has for many years graced the covers of the Niche Gardens catalogue, a prize-winning native plant nursery in Chapel Hill , NC .

acrylic block casement window can meet the egress requirements with a smaller window than most other casement designs. “Our casement windows open to a greater angle, so we are able to include a wider variety of sizes in this egress line offering,� says Murphy. Selling Operable Windows At Builders Supply Co. in Omaha, Neb., window department manager Tom Hinsley believes ventilation is a key selling feature of Hy-Lite/U S Block operable windows. “This is the only brand we sell,� says Hinsley. “The master bath is a primary area of the home for operable acrylic block windows, especially in new construction applications. They add style, privacy and ventilation to an important room in the home.� Further north in Bloomington, Minn., Ryan Menard agrees. “Operable acrylic block units give homeowners and builders another option to a standard obscure window in a bathroom setting,� says Menard, the inside sales representative with Alside Supply Center. “Our area has thousands of homes with double hung windows above bathroom tubs. This is a viable option that also allows ventilation but enhances the privacy in the home.� Largest Selection of Operable Specialty Windows

In addition to egress windows, Hy-Lite/U S Block windows offer operable decorative glass windows and unique styles of acrylic block windows to meet the needs of homeowners and contractors nationwide. “We have the largest selection of operable single hung, slider, awning, hopper and casement windows available in acrylic block and decorative glass in the industry,� says Murphy. “This makes it exceptionally easy for people to add in ventilating and egress windows when either building a new home or remodeling a cherished older home. There are so many advantages to these windows over stationary, non-operable glass block windows. The energy efficiency features, styles, durability and privacy features are just a few of the aspects that builders repeatedly cite as reasons for selecting these windows.� U S Block Windows is the only source for durable, lightweight acrylic block windows in single hung or slider form. The innovative windows come in several sizes. Operable decorative radius topped windows are also available.

Short Term or Long Term

My shoulders and back were sore, partly from shoveling snow in the driveway. My wife walked by. I asked her if she could rub my shoulders. She began to rub my shoulders, slowly, and firmly. Then she started rubbing my shoulders faster and lighter. That’s when I said, “Oh no, I know what that means.� Rubbing my shoulders faster and lighter meant that she was getting ready to quit and give me what they call the “dismissal pat.� My wife gave me a short term back rub, when I was hoping for a long term back rub.

Recently I heard about the fact that a lot of the money donated to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti had not been distributed. At first that really bothered me. A newscaster explained the reason. He said that many of the organizations didn’t distribute all of the money because they needed to be prepared to help over a long period of time, not just at first. It will be way too easy for many of us to forget about those earthquake victims. It will take many years for them to rebuild. Most likely we will go back to our every day business and forget about them. Caring in the short term is easy. Caring over the long term is more difficult. When it comes to ministry, are we short term or long term?. Many of us will get involved in special events, or even go out to witness from time to time. What about caring for a person or a family, who is going through a long spell of difficult circumstances? Are we willing to stick it out and help them over a long period of time? We like the short term help bet-

ter. It is easier, and takes the edge off of our guilt without costing us too much. Many churches have a heart for outreach. We must remember that people really don’t “care� about how much we “know�, until they “know� how much we “care.� They don’t want us to care about them just long enough to get rid of our guilt feelings. They want to know if we really care over the long term. “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.� I John 3:16 - 19.

Egress Window Options Available from Hy-Lite/U.S. Block Windows PENSACOLA , FLA. – Privacy windows or opening windows to allow in ventilation and offer an emergency exit from the home? With egress window options on operable acrylic block windows from Hy-Lite/U S Block Windows, homeowners and building industry professionals no longer need to make a choice --- they can have it all! “According to The International Residential Code, egress windows need to open to at least 5.7 square feet,� says Roger Murphy, president of U S Block Windows, Inc. “Our company has a wide variety of window options that meet this requirement while also providing a decorative look to the home. In many cases, egress windows are required in areas like the bathroom, bedroom and basement. “Homeowners are eager to have both privacy and natural light in these areas of the home, so operable acrylic block windows are the perfect solution. And, in many cases where windows are in basement settings they open out into egress wells. With the privacy features of acrylic block windows you obscure the unsightly view of an egress well cylinder and help improve the overall aesthetics of the basement environment.� The patented line hinge design on the Hy-Lite/U S Block Windows
