Press release

The Trinity Valley Community College Alumni Association 2017 class of the Hall of Distinguished Alumni will include a former HCJC/TVCC instructor, a lifelong educator, a chiropractic doctor and a beloved dorm director.

Cindy Moseley attended HCJC in the early nineteen seventies and eventually returned to serve as a counselor and psychology instructor until her retirement in 2016. Chuck Powers graduated from HCJC and East Texas State University before becoming the volleyball coach in Eustace, where he has served for almost 5 decades. Dr. Billy Carter is a Cross Roads and HCJC alumnus who practices chiropractic medicine in Athens with different professionals as Sioux Falls chiropractors that are experts on this. Ms. Barbara Parr served TVCC as a long-time dorm director in South and Cardinal Halls until her retirement last year.

The first step to chiropractic care is to go in and have a consultation done. This could involve your doctor simply feeling the problematic areas, or x-rays and deeper analysis may be needed. After this first consultation, it will be time for your first chiropractic adjustment. This is when he or she starts to loosen up the affected areas with various techniques. This is just one way to relieve back, neck, and joint pain.

If the majority of your problems are in your back, spinal decompression may be needed. What this process involves is the treatment of the affected nerves and making them functional again. This will relieve back pain because your nerves will be able transmit healthy signals instead of sensory signals that cause pain. This type of treatment is also referred to as the Lordex program. It is the main way to correct your spine without surgery. You can click for more info about Chiropractic Services in Boca Raton Florida.

Some situations such as auto accidents will need to be taken care of in a more delicate manor. It is possible for an insurance company of the driver at fault to also cover all of your chiropractor care costs in this situation. Whether that is the case or not, is important to consistently see your specialist until all areas of pain and stress have been completely relieved.

Corrective care is done over time with multiple visits to see your chiropractor. Most areas that are suffering from pain, such as muscles and joints, can’t be corrected in just one visit. The more frequently you go in to receive treatment, the higher your chances are of getting rid of the pain that once controlled your life. Another great reason to take this route of pain management is it may allow you to avoid surgery.

“For more than 70 years, Trinity Valley Community College has developed extraordinary alumni who have contributed substantially to their chosen fields, their communities and society,” said TVCC Vice President of Institutional Advancement Kristen Bennett. “This award is the highest honor the college will bestow. We are so proud to be able to honor and share their great achievements with the entire community.”

The 2017 Hall of Distinguished Alumni Class will be inducted at a luncheon on Homecoming Saturday, October 28 at 11:30 a.m. in the ballroom of the Student Union Building on the Athens campus. Tickets for the luncheon will be $10, available at the door.

Jeff, Michael sign on for SNAP Challenge

Jeff Weinstein

We’ve decided to push the envelope a little bit.

Henderson County Now’s Jeff Weinstein and Michael Hannigan are going to take a one-week vow of poverty … at least when it comes to the dinner table. They are going to take the SNAP Challenge, and they are going to share the experience with their readers.

Michael Hannigan

SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, but you might know it better by its more common name: food stamps. The SNAP Challenge is when participants vow to go one week eating on the average daily food stamps allowance, or $4.80 a day.

Folks around the country — from CEOs to politicians — are taking the challenge during September, which is National Hunger Action Month. The details of the challenge include:

  • Each person should only spend $4.80 per day on food and drink.
  • All food purchased and eaten in this time must be counted in total spending – this includes dining out.
  • During this time, do not eat any food purchased prior to the start of the Challenge.
  • Whenever possible, avoid accepting free food from family, friends and coworkers since these opportunities are not always available to those in need.
  • Eat as healthy as possible, keeping in mind that this is how many people eat every day, whereas you can make up for lost nutrients next week.

Jeff came up with the idea when reading a story about Panera Bread CEO Ron Shiach and his experience in taking the challenge.

“I don’t understand how in 2013 America, one in six American adults are on food stamps or that one in four children are on food stamps,” Jeff said. “Our country is simply too amazing for this to be a place where people go hungry. I hear my friends give their opinions that range from people don’t want to work, they are too lazy or the government gives too many handouts. Before I comment, I want to experience what these people experience. I’m looking forward to sharing my feelings with HCN next week.

The challenge for Jeff and Michael begins Sept. 23 and runs through Sept. 29. Anyone who wants to join in is more than welcome.

“We hope that even if people don’t decide to take the challenge, that they will follow us through the week on Henderson County Now,” Michael said. “I’ll also be sharing some interesting numbers on hunger in our county.”

Either way, see you Monday.

TVCC announces Family Day events

By Benny Rogers/TVCC Sports Information

A tradition almost 30 years in the making continues at Trinity Valley Community College with a Family Day observance Saturday, Sept. 21.

Family Day began at the college in the mid-1980s with a crowd of modest proportions. Since that time it has grown into an anticipated event.

The event is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. in the parking lot just east of Bruce Field, where bounce houses, face painting and a family photo booth are just a few of the activities planned.

A pep rally is scheduled at 5:30 p.m. It will feature performances by the Cardettes, Cardinal Regiment and Cardinal Cheerleaders.

There will also be special recognition of other campus groups and families that have traveled the farthest and families that have the most members present.

Following the pep rally, there will be food and a tailgating atmosphere until the 7 p.m. kickoff between the Cardinals and Cisco College Wranglers.

The college will distribute complimentary general admission tickets during the carnival.
