The President’s Pen……………..Paul Young WALKING

We live in a time when we are bombarded with the need to exercise. TV ads usually show men and women, good looking with trim and fit bodies on some high price exercise machine.

However, it appears that walking is one of the best and healthiest activities we can do. Studies have shown that exercise may be the closest thing to a fountain of youth. Regular exercise combats the effects of aging by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, stimulating circulation and reducing the risk of heart attack, heart disease and stroke. It strengthens bones, tones muscles, fosters weight loss, relieves stress and boosts your mood, all of which helps you look and feel younger.

Lake Junaluska should be one of the healthiest places in the country because we have the most beautiful place to walk that I have experienced. Thousands must agree because people from surrounding areas flock here like bees after honey. I was in Eye Associates Clinic in Asheville and I mentioned to the young lady doing the prelim work that I lived at Lake Junaluska. She said, “I live in Canton and love to walk at Lake Junaluska,”

Laura and I have discussed that walking around the Lake is one of our most enjoyable activities. It gets you outdoors, which is so much more enjoyable than walking on a treadmill. You breathe good, fresh mountain air. You see all the natural beauty that surrounds us. You see the activity of our wildlife. If you are lucky, you will see one or two eagles. We have seen an eagle catch its prey and head to the tree; we saw a hawk catch one of the small ducks for its

breakfast. That is a part of nature.

However, what we enjoy most is meeting other walkers. It is especially gratifying to see mothers and fathers out walking with their children and pushing little ones in their strollers.

One morning, as Laura and I approached the top of the hill on Asbury Trail, a young mother was jogging with a small child in the stroller and the mother was obviously getting tired. Then the child said, “Mommy, are you all right?” No answer. Then the child said, “Mommy, are you dying?” Well, she wasn’t dying but I have noticed that some joggers appear to be in agony.

Walking lets you “snoop” on others. One morning we were walking by the Goodgames’ house and saw Gordon with a spray bottle and rag in his hands cleaning the front window. He would work and then step back to admire his work or see if he had missed a spot. We gave him a “thumbs up” but I don’t think he saw us.

Another advantage of walking around the Lake is that you meet new people. You look forward to seeing them each day and sometimes stop and visit. You learn a little about each other. When you haven’t seen someone for a while you wonder what happened to them. One person we have missed is Eugene. He lives out near Crabtree and was a faithful walker at Lake Junaluska but we have not seen him for several months.

If your health permits, get out and walk. You won’t find a better place or environment than Lake Junaluska. CAUTION: Look where you walk. You may have several choices of “poop” to avoid.

APW Jack******************************************** This n That On a recent cold winter late morning trip to Asheville, I saw a restaurant sign of a place that brought back warm memories of years of Sunday lunches in Tampa with church friends: Firehouse Subs. We stopped at the Asheville location and as I entered the door, 21 years of being part of our former faith community filled me as I ordered and devoured my Sunday favorite: The Firehouse Hook ‘n Ladder sub. Smoked turkey, Virginia honey ham, melted Monterey jack cheese with tomato, lettuce, deli mustard and mayo and a spear kosher dill pickle on the side. I recalled that recent experience as I began thinking about…

Lake Junaluska Community Fire Service At the March Community Council meeting, we had guest speakers who addressed the emerging issue of changing how our community pays for fire protection. Until last year – and for many years -- the cost of fire protection for all residential properties within LJA with a water meter was $4 per month. Owners of empty lots at LJA pay nothing. The charge for homeowners with water service this year was raised to $8 per month. It’s part of the monthly water/sewer/garbage/fire protection bill each of us receives. Proposed is the creation of five new rural fire districts served by the Town of Waynesville fire service. The Lake Junaluska Rural Fire District would be one of the five new districts. In North Carolina, the county commission is responsible for managing fire protection. Haywood County commissioners have scheduled a public hearing on April 17 at 5:30 p.m. to consider Waynesville’s proposal. Action on the proposal will come at a later date. The proposal would raise the cost of fire service for most homeowners at LJA. Also, owners of empty lots will begin paying for fire service.

Here’s how it works: The charge for fire service would be on your annual County tax bill. The amount you pay would be based on the assessed value of your property. The rate for LJA would be same as others served by Waynesville fire service – 6 cents per $100 of assessed value. So, for every $100,000 in value of your property and home, the annual charge would be $60. If your home is worth $200,000, the charge would be $120. For a $300,000 home the charge would be $180. And so on. The monthly charge on your water bill from Public Works would end.

As residents of Haywood County, we would begin paying a fire service rate comparable to others who live in the County. Some areas of the County have a higher rate. None are currently lower than the Waynesville rate. The rate of the Junaluska Fire District is 7 ½ cents. Though a rate increase of any type is never a pleasant thought, as a LJA homeowner I’ve resigned myself to accepting the idea that I should pay a rate equitable to other residents of Haywood County. It’s part of living in community in Haywood. APW Jack

Jack Ewing ……………………………………..Executive Director’s Column

Remembering Jimmy Carr What a shock it was to receive an early morning phone call from Loy Lilley informing me that Jimmy Carr had died of a heart attack! I still can’t comprehend that Jimmy, a long-time friend and colleague is no longer with us. I first met Jimmy when I was a United Methodist college president and he was with the United Methodist General Board of Higher Education and Ministry. Then after he came to Lake Junaluska as Executive Director I became the Executive Director of the Foundation for Evangelism. I was so grateful to have him to discuss important

and challenging issues with. Of course, our relationship became much deeper when I followed him in this role as Executive Director of Lake Junaluska. Even though Jimmy and Joy spent much of the year in Mississippi we would sit in “our” office often to review shared challenges and success stories. I am so grateful for his wonderful spirit of support for my leadership. His death has given me and others an opportunity to reflect on his work here at Lake Junaluska. As Executive Director, Jimmy helped transition through a number of organizational changes. When he took the position at Lake Junaluska, he was serving as the executive director of both the Southeastern Jurisdictional Administrative Council and Lake Junaluska. In 2008, the jurisdiction restructured and asked all of the entities under its umbrella to work on becoming self-sufficient by 2013, including Lake Junaluska. This was not an easy restructuring but much of the hard work had been completed by the time I begin my time of leadership in 2011. Jimmy and Joy were quite a team. They helped lead Lake Junaluska through a number of important building projects including renovations to Shackford Hall and the Wilson Children’s Building and new construction of the Golf Course Clubhouse and the Bethea Welcome Center. Most people who knew Jimmy would say, though, that his greatest legacy was his commitment to diversity; to helping the church become more reflective of the diversity that exists within it. He worked every day to make Lake Junaluska more inclusive – from the staff that was hired, the programs that were offered, and the groups that held events here. The Bethea Welcome Center was named for the first African American bishop elected in the Western North Carolina Conference and his wife, and it became an important symbol for the inclusion Jimmy sought. Jimmy and Joy together had a tremendous influence on Lake Junaluska and Haywood County. They impacted everybody at the lake – our guests who came, our residents, the leaders in Haywood County and the staff. It was an honor to be able to remember and celebrate his life and ministry among us last week. Thank you Jimmy!

New Director of Programming Lake Junaluska has announced a new hire to oversee programs, events and

ministries. Mitzi Johnson will begin as director of programming on March 1. In this

position, Johnson will oversee the Summer Worship Series, Choir Music Weekend,

youth events, and other programs and events at Lake Junaluska.

Johnson said she plans to draw ideas from the community, event attendees and her

own personal experiences to develop an inclusive new approach to programming.

"I'm really excited about being a part of taking this beautiful, holy and historic place

into the future," Johnson said. "I see openness to new types of programming and to

welcoming groups that maybe haven't been traditionally served by the Lake.

Johnson is an ordained elder in the North Carolina Conference of the United

Methodist Church. She most recently served as the pastor of spiritual formation at

University United Methodist Church in Chapel Hill. She is a graduate of Duke Divinity School and UNC-

Chapel Hill. Before attending seminary, Johnson worked as a corporate trainer, developing programming for

Fortune 500 companies. She has also worked as a school teacher with the Teach for America program.

"We are thrilled that we have found such a perfectly qualified person for this position," said Jack Ewing,

executive director of Lake Junaluska. "Mitzi brings enormous gifts and talents that will result in exciting new

changes to the programs, ministries and events at Lake Junaluska."

Johnson said in the new position she wants to plan events that make each family member feel included,

welcome and learn from other denominations, and connect with millennials. Johnson also said it is

important to listen to the community already in place in order to truly understand the vision for the future.

"I'm not coming in with a set of programs that I'm ready to implement," Johnson said. "Instead, I'm

bringing a set of questions that have proven helpful in the past as I've tried to learn about a new

community and what is of interest to them."

Johnson said she is inspired by Lake Junaluska's dedication to hospitality and transformation.

"Hospitality is not just seeking to transform others, but allowing ourselves to be transformed," said

Johnson. "So as people come to Lake Junaluska, we will allow ourselves to be transformed by what we learn

from them, and what they can teach us about the kinds of programming we could be providing."

Remembering former Executive Director Rev. Jimmy Carr Lake Junaluska held a memorial service for Rev. Dr. Jimmy Carr on Thursday, March 30 at 3 p.m. in Stuart Auditorium.

Jimmy Carr served as the execu#ve director of the Southeastern Jurisdic#on of the United

Methodist Church and Lake Junaluska for 11 years, re#ring in 2010. The memorial service was an

opportunity to remember the impact he had at Lake Junaluska and in the wider Haywood County

community, as well as a chance to celebrate the legacy of inclusion and love he le+ behind.

During his #me at Lake Junaluska, Carr dealt with a number of organiza#onal changes. When he

took the posi#on at Lake Junaluska, he was serving as the execu#ve director of both the

Southeastern Jurisdic#onal Administra#ve Council and Lake Junaluska. In 2008, the jurisdic#on

restructured and asked all of the en##es under its umbrella to work on becoming self-sufficient by

2013, including Lake Junaluska.

In addi#on to beginning this pivotal change in the structure of Lake Junaluska as an organiza#on,

Carr also raised funds and implemented a number of facility improvements during his #me as

execu#ve director. More than $11 million of improvements took place, including renova#ons to

Shackford Hall, the apartments and the golf course club house, and the

construc#on of the Bethea Welcome Center. Jack Ewing, current

execu#ve director of Lake Junaluska, worked with Jimmy as a colleague

for many years before taking over the posi#on in 2011. “I think most

people who knew Jimmy would say that his greatest legacy was his

commitment to inclusiveness; to helping the church become more

reflec#ve of the diversity that exists within,” Ewing said. This was evident

in many projects and ini#a#ves Carr began at Lake Junaluska. He made a

priority of seeking diversity in the hiring of new staff and welcomed

everyone who came to the lake.

Ken Howle, director of advancement at Lake Junaluska, worked with Carr

for seven years and said he remembers Carr’s commitment to hospitality.

“The Bethea Welcome Center is a cornerstone of Jimmy’s legacy because it

was inten#onally created to model inclusivity and to welcome all of God’s children to Lake Junaluska,” Howle said. The

Bethea Welcome Center was named for the first African American bishop elected in the Southeastern Jurisdic#on and his

wife, and it became an important symbol for the inclusion Carr worked to maintain. The building serves as a point of entry

for most lodging visitors. As they check in, they are surrounded by stunning art work commissioned by Carr. A large art

installa#on made from fabrics that represent cultures around the world hangs above the front desk. This piece, en#tled

“Song of Jus#ce” and created by Sylvia Evere?, helps realize Carr’s wish for a space where anyone from anyplace can walk

in and feel welcome. The commission for this piece was one of the most challenging and fulfilling Evere? ever received,

but she speaks highly of her experience working with Carr. “Obviously he was a good leader,” Evere? said. “But he was

also just a very congenial, approachable, and warm person to work with.”

In honoring Jimmy Carr, Ewing said Carr and his wife, Joy Carr, had a presence within the community at and around Lake

Junaluska. “Jimmy and Joy together had a tremendous influence on Lake Junaluska,” Ewing said. “They really impacted

everybody at the lake – our guests who came, our residents, the leaders in Haywood County and the staff. Having the

opportunity for us who knew and loved Jimmy to remember him in was significant.”

The mutual respect that Carr cul#vated with everyone he met was a product of his genuine nature, natural leadership and

willingness to support and be available for others. As he prepared to re#re in 2010, Carr spoke with The Mountaineer

about his #me at Lake Junaluska coming to a close. “It has been a real joy being at Lake Junaluska. I will always cherish the

support and friendship of my co-workers, the United Methodist Church, and the local community,” Carr said.

Bishop William McAlilly from the Tennessee and Memphis Conferences of the United Methodist Church was the eulogist

for the memorial service. Rev. Karen Greenwaldt, former General Secretary of the General Board of Discipleship, spoke as

well. Rev. Sandy Giles, pastor of First United Methodist Church in Waynesville, and Rev. Hardy Tippe?, a resident at Lake

Junaluska and re#red United Methodist clergy, also par#cipated in the service.

The Book Review Committee is pleased to have local resident Sara Jenkins as its presenter for its April gathering. Sara will review Small Is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered by E. F. Schumacher, a classic work that was included in the 1995 Times Literary Supplement list of the 100 most influential books published since World War II. With the multifaceted challenges of the 21st century, thought almost half a century old, this book is more relevant than ever, and Sara will focus on the moral dimension of Schumacher's work--how "people matter," how character is formed by meaningful work, and how small scale of community is most conducive to human well-being. Sara Jenkins is known by many in the area for her authorship of two books on contemporary Buddhist practice in the West. Currently she works with the Lift Every Voice project of Pigeon Center collecting the African-American history of Haywood County and is also involved with a regional program of WCU's Mountain Heritage Center. Don't miss Sara's book review on Wednesday, April 19th, at 10:00 AM in the Susan Todd Lounge. Nancy Oates

Live and Learn Thursday, April 20 2:00 PM World Methodist Museum

This month's Live and Learn program is a guided tour and talk led by Jackie Bolden, Director of the World Methodist Museum. If you have never visited the Museum, you are in for a treat, as this collection of Wesleyan and Methodist memorabilia has gained worldwide recognition for its quality and breadth. Even if you have visited before, remember that the exhibits are in rotation, and new items are being added regularly. Currently, new exhibits include a rare Eighteenth Century pulpit used by both John Wesley and Francis Asbury, from High Town Methodist Church in Luton, England, and early American oil portraits of Bishop Joshua Soule (1781-1867) and his wife, Sarah Allen. Bishop Soule was the first bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Parking: Please note that there is limited parking in the Museum lot, but bounteous parking along the beautiful Rose Walk. Let those of us with more bounce in our step leave the places near the Museum for those less able to climb the hill!

Minutes of the predecessors of the Junaluska Woman’s Club record the group’s membership and attendance at meetings in the early years of the organization’s 100-year history. These historical minutes were a gift to the future as we glean material in the Heritage Center pursuing information for this year’s theme, “Celebrating 100 Years of Memories.” At the end of the first summer after the organization of the Junaluska Woman’s Club, Mrs. Frank Siler, president, reported to the Commissioners of the Southern Assembly a membership of 50, with funds of $52.74 “secured during eight weeks” of the season. “We believe we can be the instrument of much good,” Mrs. Siler said. At the time, there were very few residences or hotels completed at the Lake. It’s astonishing to discover in minutes of some of those early meetings that attendance at club meetings often numbered more than 100! As the 2017 club’s executive committee initiates the centennial year membership campaign, we are determined to outnumber the participation rolls reported in those foundation years. So we are launching an early campaign in April distributing information and inviting women to join (dues are $10, or as the Junaluskans membership chair says, at least $10) and to be a part of the big celebration. This year’s programs and events will focus on club’s rich 100-year history.
