(336) 625-1950 Protective pads can also cushion painful areas. 7 Because the changing weather brings more bunion patients into the office, some women inquire about surgery in the fall because they're less busy than in summer months and can be back on their feet before the hectic holiday season is in full swing. While we emphasize that surgery is a last-resort treatment for women with painful bunions, in some cases it is the best route for a more permanent solution to pain. For many women, simple changes like wearing shoes with wider toe boxes can significantly reduce bunion pain. Custom shoe inserts, gel- or foam-filled padding and anti-inflammatory medications may also provide pain relief as a way to prevent surgery. Periodic office evaluations and x-ray exams can determine whether or not your bunion deformity is advancing. If a bunion continues to get worse, especially if it is accom- panied by worsening pain and interference with daily activities, it’s time to talk about surgery. For more information about bunion surgery or to request an appointment with one of our specialists, visit www.triadfoot.com OR call (336) 625-1950 RandolphLiving.com

Improving your mood Tried &•True Stress Release B R E AT H E... yTop Qualit You've heard this one time and time again -just DO IT and reap the rewards. \"Belly breathing\" (rather than chest breathing). This activates the \"Vagus nerve\" and nat- urally serves to relax you. Even as few as 4 breaths \"in\" (counting slowing to 4) and holding the air in for 4 counts then exhaling for a count of 8 each time can calm you on the spot. Concentrating on your breath even for those few minutes will distract your mind from the source of your stress.

It is said that Allred’s 17-year-old wife mysterious and even disturbing categories. arrived after the execution, and members of the local Bray family who witnessed it could not forget her “hollering and As for the truth of it all ... that's half the fun, right? Getting screaming.” Allred’s crime was said to be that “…he laid out, caught up in the lurid details is a riveting distraction. they caught him and killed him,” and so it was justified. (... and it's none of our concern if you want to GOSSIP about it!) The basic facts of the story can be confirmed. Alson G. Allred’s grave can be found in the Gardner-Moffitt Graveyard, Brower Township, on the East side of Riverside Road, just past 5151 Riverside Rd., about 0.3 mile south of the bridge over Richland Creek. The location is about a mile and 3/4 east of Moffitt’s Mill, where the local post office was located (where SR 1004 crosses Richland Creek). His tombstone says he died January 5, 1863, and was 20 years old (born August 18, 1842). The graveyard is apparently in the close proximity to what was the Elisha Allred homeplace (Alson Allred’s father). Allred’s parents and close family members are buried there. In an 1860 census, the Elisha Allred family were neighbors of James and Louisa Gardner, who are also buried there. The story goes that Alson Allred was married and yet there is no record of Alson Allred’s wife’s name and no record of their marriage. Interestingly, there is no record of his service in the Confederate military, nor any record of his desertion. Ralph Bulla’s record of the local oral history is the only known record of Allred’s life and death. Since no official record of his execution has been found either, fundamental questions arise: Was Allred’s death a legal execution, or an extrajudicial lynching? Was he a civilian casualty of war, or a harsh example of military discipline? 2200 Randolph Living | FALL 202 1

Was James also caught and executed? that relates to the possible capture, court martial trial and/or execution of Alson Allred — let alone a record of his marriage.
