Terri L. Cox to be featured in the
Women of Distinction Magazine
Terri L. Cox, Licensed
Practical Nurse at Life Care of
Cleveland, has been recognized
as a distinguished professional
in her field through Women of
Distinction Magazine.
Cox will be featured in the
upcoming edition of the Women
of Distinction Magazine in
2015/2016.
Working to become a Certified
Nursing Assistant in 1991, Terri
L. Cox graduated two years later
and immediately began working
toward her Licensed Practical
Nurse designation, only to take
some time off due to health
related issues.
But by 2001, she was able to
sit for the board exam and she
passed. Working in the field
ever since, Cox credits her 24plus successful years in health
care to a strong faith in God, a
love for people, and a desire to
see them get well.
“There are days that nursing
can be one of the most frustrating careers on the planet, but on
the flip side, it can also be one of
the most rewarding,” Cox said.
“When a resident goes home
after months of therapy and
care, and they stop you in the
hall with tears in their eyes to
say thank you for all of your
help, it makes your job worthwhile.”
As a night shift nurse for Life
Care of Cleveland, a nursing
home and rehabilitation facility
in Tennessee, Cox handles basic
tasks each night, does charting
for her shift, prepares for the
morning shift that will relieve
her the next day, prepares
paperwork for lab work, and
other various tasks, as well as
caring for patients.
Looking forward to working
toward her RN at the age of 44,
Cox is ready for the next stage in
her career.
A published author, she wrote
a book titled, “The Danger of

Playing Hide and Seek.”
It’s a story about how we, as
adults, replicate the game of
Hide and Seek in our daily walk
with God, how we hide behind
things that we feel are shielding
and protecting us, but in reality
are harming and keeping us
from the destiny that God has
planned for our lives from the
time we took our very first
breath.
The book was released in
2012 through WestBow Press.
Also, very much involved with
her church, for the past three
years Cox has helped Dwelling
Place Church International
through its yearly community
outreach known as Life Clinic,
which provides free medical,
vision, chiropractic, food, and
other much needed services in
the community.
She has served at Dwelling
Place Church International/Life
Clinic as the medical team
leader for the past three years
recruiting doctors and nurses to
offer their services for the day,
acquiring other volunteers to
help, such as nursing students
from area universities, and providing much needed screenings
and services for the community.
She has also been leader of
Chain Breakers Jail Ministry
since 2011 through Dwelling
Place Church International.
This ministry reaches out to
the local jail, mainly the women,
through bible study, singing,
testimony, and prayer time.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Whatever disparaging
cliche you’ve heard about the lowly dime —
dime a dozen, nickel and dimed, dime’s worth
a difference — it’s not true of this dime.
No, this particular coin that’s about to go
to auction Thursday evening in Tampa is
worth way more than 10 cents.
More like a million dollars or two.
The 1894-S dime was struck at the San
Francisco Mint. Only 24 were made, and only
nine likely still exist.
“There’s a couple of iconic rarities in the
rare coin market,” said David Hall, cofounder of Professional Coin Grading Service
of Santa Ana, California. “A couple of coins
have been known among the rarest of the
rare for 100 years and this is one of those
numismatic icons.”
Hall said so few of those dimes were made
at the San Francisco Mint because the country was in a recession that year and more

dimes weren’t needed.
Hall has graded 30 million coins in his
career, including this dime. He said it’s in
“spectacular condition, almost perfect.”
Heritage Auctions, which is conducting the
auction, says on its website that an 1894-S

dime “routinely sells for more than $1 million
on the infrequent occasions when an example
is offered at public auction, and private sales
have been reported for more than $2 million.”
The coin belonging to a private owner who
is remaining anonymous will be auctioned
during the Florida United Numismatists
show.
There’s also a lot of interest in what happened to the other, long-missing 1894-S
dimes.
In an effort to track down some of the
coins, Heritage Auctions is offering a $10,000
reward to be the first to examine any previously unreported, genuine examples of the
coins.
“They could be in somebody’s desk drawer.
They could be sitting in somebody’s bank
box. People could look almost anywhere and
they might show up,” said Mark Borckardt,
senior numismatist at Heritage Auctions.

Poll: Most have stayed friends with an ex — is it worth it?
WASHINGTON (AP) — Most
Americans think making a clean
break with an ex helps speed the
healing process after a breakup,
according to a new Associated
Press-WE tv poll. But not all of
them are listening to their own
advice.
Six in 10 think cutting off contact with an ex is very helpful for
getting over a breakup, and about
the same percentage say it’s usually not worth it to try to stay
friends with an ex.
But their actions often tell a different story.
Just over half of those who
have ever experienced a breakup
say they’ve personally stayed
friends with an ex. Even among
those who say they don’t think it’s
usually worth it, 38 percent have
remained friends with at least one
former flame.
Over 4 in 10 have broken up
with someone only to get back
together again, and more than a
third have slept with an ex.
Thirteen percent have continued
living with someone they broke
up with for financial reasons, and
the same percentage have gone
on vacation or spent a holiday
with their ex.
Many also find themselves
doing things that remind them of
their former flame. Four in 10
have visited an ex’s profile on
Facebook or other social media. A
quarter have sneaked a peak at a
social media profile of someone
their ex was dating. Young
Americans are especially likely to
look an ex up on social media.
Two-thirds of those between age
18 and 34 have visited the social
media profile of an ex, and 4 in 10
have scoped out someone an ex
was dating.
Forty-five percent of Americans
have listened to a song that
reminds them of their ex.
Not everyone who tries to
remain friends with an ex can
make it work. A third have tried

unsuccessfully to stay friends
post-breakup. And some might be
better off cutting the cord. Thirtytwo percent say feelings for an ex
have prevented them from finding
a new relationship.
There are some circumstances
when most Americans do agree
that it’s worthwhile to stay friends
with an ex. More than half think
it’s worth it if a former couple
have mutual friends, and 9 in 10
think it’s worth it for a couple who
have children together.
Among Americans who have
been divorced, just 21 percent say
they stayed friends with their ex,
but another 44 percent say they
stayed on speaking terms.
After a breakup, Americans are
more likely to turn to family and
friends over new flings for help in
healing. Nearly two-thirds say

support from friends is extremely
or very helpful in getting over a
breakup, and two-thirds say the
same of support from family. Only
a quarter think of new relationships as that helpful, and even
fewer say casual dating is helpful.
Women are more likely than
men to think support from friends
and family is helpful, while men
are more likely than women to
think of new relationships or
casual dating helps.
Three-quarters of American
think it’s better to wait before getting into a new relationship after
a breakup, while about a quarter
think it’s not important to wait.
For anyone who does try to stay
friendly with an ex, 62 percent
say it’s better to wait before trying
that, too.

“Ex Isle.” The poll was conducted
online Nov. 20-23, 2015, using a
sample drawn from GfK’s probability-based
KnowledgePanel,
which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The
margin of sampling error for all
respondents is plus or minus 3
percentage points.
Respondents were first selected
randomly using telephone or mail
survey methods, and later interviewed online. People selected for
KnowledgePanel who didn’t otherwise have access to the Internet

Dixie stampede thunders into 2016 with ‘high-spirited adventure’
PIGEON FORGE — After a
2015 season which saw Dixie
Stampede’s show reimagined
with a $2.5 million renovation,
“The Most Fun Place to Eat in the
Smokies” returns Jan. 15 for its
29th season featuring a highspirited adventure sure to bring a
smile to every face.
Last season’s renovations saw
a state-of-the-art, LED wall backdrop added to Dixie Stampede’s
35,000-square-foot
arena.
Renovations also included new
audio and lighting technology
and several other fascinating new
show enhancements which left
guests marveling at the end
result. At the end of the season,
one thing was certain — the
changes received a resounding
positive response from visitors.
“Our team worked hard to create an entirely new atmosphere
for the show and they certainly
succeeded,” said Dixie Stampede
President Jim Rule. “Our guests
were delighted to see their
favorite Pigeon Forge show as

never before. We are
thankful for everyone
who came to experience our new
adventure in
2015.”
Shortly
after entering
the arena,
guests
understand
Dixie
Stampede’s high-spirited adventure is unlike anything they’ve
encountered before. Accentuated
by newly-added video mapping,
the floor of the arena is filled with
images of stampeding horses so
lifelike, the thundering hooves
rattle the guests’ tables. From
there, Dixie Stampede’s talented
cast of performers lead the
show’s impressive stable of 32
magnificent horses through a
spirited display of equestrian
skill.
Throughout the show, the striking LED wall, consisting of 12.5
million LED lights, creates an
experience so immersive, guests
feel as if they have been instantly

transported deep in to
the natural beauty of
the foothills surrounding the Great
S m o k y
Mountains.
Clouds roll
across the
mountains,
the sun sets over the horizon in
the distance and the night sky fills
with a brilliant patchwork of stunning stars. Dixie Stampede’s highspirited adventure provides an
experience unlike anything
offered in the region.
The show’s equine stars challenge each other in barrel races
and other thrilling competitions,
all in the name of Dixie
Stampede’s friendly rivalry
between the North and South.
Audience members even may find
themselves called in to help their
side to victory.
Dinner, the other star of the
show, includes Dixie Stampede’s
signature four-course feast consisting of Dixie Stampede’s origi-

nal creamy vegetable soup,
homemade buttery biscuit, a
whole rotisserie chicken, hickorysmoked barbequed pork loin,
corn on the cob, herb-basted
potato, Dixie Stampede’s own
specialty dessert and unlimited
beverages. Vegetarian meals are
available upon request.
Guests are invited to start their
fun-filled evening in the Dixie
Belle Saloon with the side-splitting comedy and hard-driving
bluegrass and country music of
Mountain
Ruckus,
Dixie
Stampede’s house band. The
band performs one hour prior to
show time. Show times and
reservations are available by calling 1-800-356-1676 or visiting
www.dixiestampede.com.
