Childress credits her faith with Luken Holdings, EWI success
What does it take to become president and CEO of a company? Some would say hard work and determination. Others would say countless hours in the office for years on end. Still others would say the right amount of luck mixed with opportunity.
But Lynda Childress, president and CEO of Luken Holdings, has a different answer – faith. One of six children born to a minister and his wife, Childress’s religious convictions run deep.

Sign twirling even in the rain
One rainy Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting in traffic that was going nowhere due to an intersection designed by an engineer with a real sense of humor and given a project that never should have been placed where it was built. Cars were backed up to the next town and with the added dimension of the thunderstorm we were in, there was no way anyone would make their appointments on this day. Trying to see through the rapid passing of the windshield wipers unable to keep up with the deluge of monsoon rainfall, I saw an interesting site that made the traffic delay almost worthwhile if not even a reason to have been at the intersection in the first place.

Are We There Yet?
Destin through Dallas
So our annual trek to the Gulf Coast took a 600-mile detour as we headed to Dallas to watch the first of 10 Southwest Classic games between the Hogs and Aggies of Texas A&M.
After leaving our house at 11:33 a.m., we arrived around six at our Irving motel, having loudly karaoked our way through the last 100 miles or so, with songs like “Born to Run” and “America Pie,” the latter of which we discovered we still remembered every word. Lisa Althoff drove the last few hours with Kathy as her co-pilot, while Bob Althoff and I guarded the ice chest in the back seat.
I Swear...
The four seasons—revisited
A couple weeks ago I got a call from my good friend John Youngblood of Little Rock, retired businessman and fellow churchgoer.
John allowed as how he and retired Second Presbyterian Church pastor Jim Miller had been on a fishing trip recently.
Weekly Indulgence
I got to A Better You Salon and Day Spa around 3 p.m. last Thursday. I was greeted at the door by smiling faces and once I checked in, I was led through the salon to the massage areas. There, I met Kita, my massage therapist, who directed me to the bathroom. There, I changed into a white terrycloth robe, then I went into the massage room, where I slid under a sheet on the massage table.

Signal Mountain Realtor opens tasty new business downtown
When Cheryl Sims decides she wants to do something, she does it. In her 20 years as a banker, she heard several times that her positive attitude and exceptional people skills would make her a great real estate agent. So, after giving it some thought and discussing it with her husband, Jeff, she decided to give it a whirl.
Local home builder lays foundation for success moving forward
One might call James Pratt, president of Pratt Associates, a hard working man.
As evidence, one could point to the more than a dozen residential developments in and around Chattanooga in which Pratt’s company is involved. In some developments, Pratt purchased the land, put in the infrastructure and built, or is building, the homes. In others, someone else owns the land and he built, or is building, the homes. Then there are the developments in which Pratt is just one of many builders helping to create a neighborhood. In each case, it’s easy to spot the old-fashioned charm and trademark quality for which Pratt’s homes have come to be regarded.
Real Estate Facts
For any number of reasons, more people than ever are downsizing these days. Whether it’s reduction in income, reduction in family size or just a desire for easier living, smaller homes are becoming more attractive.
There are challenges associated with downsizing, but experience has taught some valuable lessons that you may find useful. Once you’ve decided to sell, start the moving process immediately. Your home will even show better once you’ve begun packing things away. As you decide what to keep, consider donating unwanted items or holding a yard sale.
Kay’s Cooking Corner
It is yet another damp, rainy day in Little Rock and it has me thinking of warm comfort foods. Like soups and stews. My mom made some vegetable beef soup one day last week, and it made me want to make some. But in trying to stay heart-healthy for Don, I made it with a roasted turkey breast instead of beef.
The Critic's Corner
“Zombieland” is one of those movies you can imagine being conceived in about five minutes as two slightly inebriated filmmakers bounce ideas back and forth:
Guy 1: “I love those old George Romero zombie movies. They rocked!”
Guy 2 (in a haunting voice): “They’re coming to get you, Barbara...”
