What Our Facebook Fans are Saying About Local Restaurants

We asked our Facebook fans (facebook.com/chnv1) what they loved about local restaurants. Here are their responses. Thumbs Up Diner on Stewart Parkway. I eat there every chance I get! I can’t make it past the French toast every time, but everything on the menu sounds delicious! - Angela Smallwood

Taste of Thai is an amazing restaurant! Great service and some of the best food I have had! - Carley Beasley

Taqueria Jalisco in the Kroger Shopping Center, Hospital Drive and Fairburn Road. Best, most authentic Mexican food in Douglasville. We’re regular customers and the food is always terrific! - Richard Argo Burke’s Grill. Best food and service in Douglas County. We are always greeted with a hug from Peggy. The fresh vegetables, catfish, meatloaf and chicken livers are favorites. Dwight is happy to customize dishes and goes the extra mile to make sure his customers are satisfied. All of the waitresses are friendly and remember names and food preferences of regular patrons. Great friendly family atmosphere with neighbors sharing great food and music. We especially love the classic rock selected by Dwight. It’s never too loud and provides an enjoyable background. - Sandra Smith

The Bagel Meister on Chapel Hill Road in Douglasville. The only place that I know of to get fresh bagels and they are so good! The salt bagels are my favorite! They have daily specials, yummy treats, and the people are super friendly. I love going there! - Liza Graham Sam & Rosco’s is the best restaurant in Douglasville. It has wonderful food and the best atmosphere for a date night or a romantic dinner. We love that it is not a chain but a hometown place that you can always count on! - Linda Hall Miller Provino’s near the Arbor Place Mall is a nice restaurant with great Italian food, pleasant atmosphere, and reasonable prices. They will even give a free meal to a patron on their birthday. Have to end this by saying they have the best garlic knots our family has ever tried. - Cynthia Pegram We go to La Salsa nearly every week! Fast service and fresh tasting food. - Mandy Palmer

Chinese Pagoda on Highway 5. They have been there for over 30 years. They owners treat you like family and the food is delicious! - Joshua Gonberg I have two. First is Daruma, formerly known as Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse. The food is great and the chefs and staff are amazing! The manager, Joseph is almost like a family member as we have been going there over 19 years. A close second is Gumbeaux’s as this was the first restaurant we ate at in Douglasville. It was highly recommended to us on the day we closed on our house. - Brian Nabors My kids and I love Red Lobster! My 10 year old son Connor has cancer and they are always super nice to us and have taken care of our bill several times! They really care and treat us like family. They always stop by our table and check on Connor abd chat a few minutes. That means a lot. - Terri Sanders I love Blue Agave. The atmosphere is awesome. I love sitting outside on the patio. The food is delicious and the staff is always accommodating. Kathy Miller

Bejin in Lithia Springs. Delicious Chinese, (the hot & sour soup is perfect) great wings and their philly cheese steak is like a warm hug of comfort. Plus, it doesn’t bust my budget! - Jamie Blankenship

dining Cabin Fever Roasters opens Downtown Cabin Fever Roasters is a full service coffee bar and more, which opened near the end of October. It is located at 6716 Broad Street in a newly remodeled 125-year-old space. Imported coffee from all over the world is fresh roasted right at the store, and served by the cup or sold by the pound. On any given day, they have coffee from 10 to 20 different regions available. In addition to hot coffee, they also serve massive handcrafted deli sandwiches, Jasmine Pearl flavored teas, bakery items of all sorts, smoothies, frappuccinos and iced coffee. For those who want to chill out for a bit, they have free wi-fi and plenty of outlets to charge your phone and/or device. Owners Rick and Gayla opened the shop because Gayla has always loved the taste and aroma of coffee, even as a child. One day, a friend talked her into roasting her own coffee and sent her some green coffee beans. She bought a hot air popcorn popper and the result was so delicious that she never bought coffee at the store again, and that was 20 years ago. About five years ago, she and her friend Rick were drinking a cup of store bought coffee Rick had made, and she told him about roasting her own coffee. When they roasted coffee together, Rick was hooked. After the economy hit hard times Rick had to take a job that kept him on the road

CAST Theater Company planning for big year

The Community Alliance for Stage and Theater (CAST), one of the oldest established theater companies in the western Atlanta area, is planning its biggest year yet. CAST was formed in 1986, when a small group of theater-lovers came together to mount outdoor productions of one-act plays at the Cultural Arts Center. The group maintains a full yearly production schedule, but has recently begun to increase the pace of its performing schedule and the variety of its offerings in an attempt to up its game after 28 years. As a result, CAST will have shows on stage and in the works through the rest of this year and throughout 2015. The group plans to perform three dinner theater shows in 2015, starting in January and February with a mystery comedy called Eclipsed, which is currently in the works. “It’s a great, funny play about murder and missing jewels at a gala masquerade ball,” explains director Alan White. “We think our audience will love the chance to help solve the mystery, and, hopefully, dress up a little and get involved.” As always, the group stresses the opportunity for those who are interested to become part of the show, taking on cameo roles and helping sort through clues. In Eclipsed, patrons are encouraged—but not required—to wear costumes for a fancy ball, complete with masks. “If they come in dress, they can join right in,” stresses White. He also plans some special fun for the show’s Valentine’s Day performance, making it ideal for a Saturday date night. The fun will continue through the year with a rollicking Southern comedy called Til Beth Do Us Part, which debuts in April and with a third dinner theater offering—a mystery comedy to be announced shortly—opening in late summer. The group is pleased to be offering a number of other items throughout the coming months, taking advantage of the gaps between dinner theater productions. This year, it revived its tradition of outdoor one-acts in Douglasville and Villa Rica after a lapse of several years, and it plans to produce short plays in outside venues again in 2015. It will also continue to mount the winning entry of the Turner Cassity literary festival verse play competition at the Cultural Arts Center in Summer, 2015. CAST is also excited about its upcoming Christmas plays, produced in partnership with local churches and performed in support of local charities for children and food banks. Two short plays will be offered and musical groups will be an integral part of the experience, adding to the fun and holiday spirit. The group loves to welcome new members, and urges everyone who has an interest in any aspect of theater to get involved. “We need everyone who is interested to be a part of all this, since we can’t do everything we’re planning without everyone in the community helping out,” Kincheloe says. “And it’s fun—we promise.” To learn more, check out CAST’s website at www.castplays.com and “like” their Facebook page at CAST Productions (Douglasville).

arts & entertainment Douglas County Chamber Singers’ auditions The Douglas County Chamber Singers is holding ongoing auditions for the 2014-2015 season. The Chamber Singers is a 30 member group that values musicianship, proficiency, community spirit, diversity, and enjoyment of music. The Chamber Singers practice every Tuesday night at the Douglasville First United Methodist Church at 7:30pm.

Ninja Escapades - Tells the backstory of three major story arcs for Naruto Shippuden. Free Battle - You can face the computer or friends in several fighting game modes, like survival or team battle. If you’re a fan of the series this game is a good extension, but if you’re a newcomer you may get confused. The controls are slightly complicated, but once you understand them they offer a good feel to the anime. Unfortunately the tutorial is placed between game modes. Still, the game is a good game and can provide some fun. It gets a 3 out of 5.

Funeral Visitation

By Ellen Wynn McBrayer, Jones-Wynn Funeral Home & Crematory, www.jones-wynn.com

Visitation is a part of the grieving process, whether

you have a service or not. In funeral service today, it is important to create a service, memorial, or time to grieve in such a way that it

Many families choose to say goodbye with a visitation and viewing time

ferent, but one thing remains true across most all families belief systems, and that is taking a moment to remember. We, as funeral directors, call these moments “having visitation”. But “having a visitation” truly only means creating a time, during an impossible moment, and allowing others close to you to help you with their love, support, and meaningful stories. Even if you choose not to have a service or funeral, it’s important to pause and have a time of remembrance (a.k.a. having a visitation). The reason for that is because your friends, family, and community will create a time to have their moment of remembrance with you. They usually will not even realize what they are doing, but the moment they see you in the store,

evening before the funeral, and lasting from two to six hours, this form of gathering provides a welcome opportunity for friends to stop by, pay their respects, and offer emotional support to you. Often, the immediate family arrives a bit early to have some private, personal time with the person who has died. Remember to talk about life with the ones you love the most. Death is so painful that it’s sometimes hard to look back and remember the importance of planning ahead. So instead, remember to just have “The Talk of a Lifetime” with anyone in your family. Challenge yourself to tell stories that are not often times remembered. I recently read a story about a lady who wrote her own obituary while she was still alive in the hospital, and it’s so

Reflections

Thankful

mention of the delicious dinner my husband and I had with our two oldest grandsons (ages 16 and 13) at The Island Cow Restaurant on Sanibel Island, Florida. At first glance, that entry seemed far less significant than #587. However, my thankfulness for #588 increased all the more as, later

that same evening, I heard about another grandmother who, along with other family members, was waiting at a hospital to find out if her twelveyear-old granddaughter would survive a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. My heart ached for them, and I did pray earnestly late into the night that God would help them and bring good out of that tragedy, which He can do, as Paul says in Romans 8:28. Although I remained so sad about whatever pain had caused the preteen to try to end her life and, thereby, bring such horrible pain to her family and friends, I also realized how truly blessed my husband and I are to have enjoyed a yummy meal with happy and healthy grandsons. The following morning, as I was reading Matthew Henry’s Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:1-51, I had an “ah-ha!” moment as I came to these words: “Remarkable preservations should be particularly mentioned in our praises…Those who receive signal mercies from God, ought to give him the glory.”

ChurchDavid, www.chapelh Matthew Henry then pointed out that the very day God delivered

David sang a song of praise to God, while God’s mercy was still fresh on his mind. Dear Reader, daily listing God’s mercies, while they’re still fresh on our minds, keeps us reminded of His great goodness to us. By listing seemingly simple things like enjoying a meal with loved ones, we’ll be reminded of the “remarkable preservations” that He has given to us. Apart from His tender mercies, all so undeserved, we would be the ones weeping in a hospital and praying for a life-saving miracle for a loved one. My precious mother knew the truth of that, for she often said, “We should thank God for what He’s given us—and thank Him for what He has spared us from.” We do both as we notice and then list seemingly ordinary ways God says, “I love you.” For example, I’ve noticed—and recorded—gifts such as these: #25—Family photos showing “the way we were.” Happy memories! #34 Overcast skies holding the promise of much-needed rain. #99 Time today to “just be.” Thanking Him for the gifts I have received prompts me to look at the flip side and to thank Him for the things He has spared me from. 2014 by Johnnie Ann Gaskill, www.jgaskill.com.

Lizzie Belle Wilson Foundation trying to find ‘Belle Babies’ The Lizzie Belle Babies are the 3000 babies midwife Lizzie Belle Wilson delivered. A group has formed and is looking for the oldest, the youngest, the first, and the last baby Lizzie Belle Wilson delivered. If you are, or if you know someone who is a Belle baby, this may be of interest. Lizzie Belle Wilson was a midwife who delivered babies from the early 1920s until 1963. She died on November 6, 1964. She was born in 1878. The Lizzie Belle Wilson Foundation will honor her on November 6, 2014, marking 50 years since she passed. In 1919, the State of Georgia began filing birth and death records. During the 1920s the mortality rate was high, especially in rural areas. The federal government passed the SheppardTowner Maternity and Infancy Protection Act that would provide matching funds to the states that opened health clinics and trained midwives, especially where hospitals were far away. In 1929 this legislation was defunded, but the southern states had seen the benefits of the midwife in the rural areas. This was the era in which Lizzie Belle Wilson became a midwife. Some of the babies she delivered have started an effort to erect a proper headstone at her gravesite. They are extending this effort to all who understand the historical significance of what she accomplished during the time she lived. If you would like to donate to the Lizzie Belle Wilson Foundation, you may go to www.gofundme.com/lizziebelle. Donations can also be sent to PO Box 939, Villa Rica, GA 30180. They also have a Facebook (“Midwife Lizzie Belle Wilson”) to upload pictures or leaves comments and remarks. They are trying to find the facts, fiction and folklore and determine which is which, so they want to hear your stories.

Adding Romance to Your Marriage By Jessica Hocutt, MAMFT, LAPC. Connection Family Counseling, 231 South Carroll Road, Villa Rica, 770.364.6561 How are you and your spouse staying connected emotionally and physically? For some couples, this is an intense conflict over what you each want and how your needs are being met that has led to one or both being defensive and/or withdrawn. For others, this is just an area that could use some improvement. No matter which category your marriage fits in, there are several things you can do to work on it. As always, the first thing to do is to talk about it. Find time to open your hearts to each other and reflect on what each of you would like more of and what you feel is missing. Don’t play the blame-game! Keep this conversation from being an argument by using “I” statements and working together as a team to pinpoint the problem areas. Next, create a list of things that are getting in the way of connection. This may be anything from work schedules, to children, to the way you approach each other for physical intimacy. Go over your list together and see where changes or adjustments

could be made. Keep in mind that it is okay to plan for intimate moments, just as it is to plan for dates. If you don’t plan, it’s less likely to happen. Another way to connect is to have fun dates. Whether you are going out or sending the kids off for a night at home, having dates gives you a chance to reignite your feelings for each other. Through these dates, you are also building positive memories and feelings for your spouse that can deter anger and help you avoid unhealthy communication when you have an argument. If you feel you are in a rut on planning different types of dates, especially low-budget ones, try looking on the internet for fun, creative couple dates. There are lists at www.intimatemarriages.org and www.theknot.com, but there are also plenty more out there. Many couples get in the routine of physical intimacy and forget about other ways of connecting physically. Give each other massages or enjoy a bubble bath together. Serving your spouse for 30 minutes or so can lead to great emotional and physical connection. Setting the atmosphere is also important. Don’t forget about those candles, massage oils/lotions, and privacy if you have children. If you still feel stuck, keep working at it and seek additional help if you need it. It is possible to be romantic and in love after even 50+ years of marriage, so don’t lose hope.

Nail Care Pointers

By Jeanne Grace Curtis, Nails Your Way Salon, 770.949.3113, 5900 Orchard Road, Douglasville, nailsyourway.com

Keeping Nails Healthy Normally, nails grow 1/8â&#x20AC;? a month, although illness, aging, menopause, and cold weather will slow their growth. Nails are made of keratin, the same protein that forms skin and hair. The nail plate sits over the tips of the fingers and toes and grows out of the lunula (the pale half-moon). The cuticle provides a protective seal between the skin and the nail. The lunula is living tissue but the rest is made up of dead cells that grow out from the base of the nail. Even though nails are mostly dead tissue, they are an important indicator of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state of health. This is why a doctor examines nails for clues to many diseases. This is also why a doctor will request that you remove nail polish or artificial enhancements before performing surgery on you. Healthy nails are strong and smooth, with a pinkish color. Like hair and skin, nails need moisture for flexibility. Brittle nails are

such as tuna or salmon. Pale, brittle nails may indicate iron deficiency. Good sources of iron include meat, dark-meat poultry, breads, cereals and green leafy vegetables. Brittle nails, infections of the surrounding skin, or white marks on the fingernails may indicate zinc deficiency. Zinc-rich foods include seafood, eggs, liver, nuts and lentils. To produce keratin and maintain healthy growth, nails require a steady supply of oxygen and other vitamins and nutrients. Foods such as whole grains, legumes, dark green leafy vegetables, and fruit juices are good sources of folate and B vitamins that can often help solve many nail problems. Biotin is a B vitamin that is needed to release energy from food. Most longitudinal nail ridges are age related, but ridges may be a sign that you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients from your food.

There are several studies that correlate correcting the structure of your spine and reduction in blood pressure. The studies have proven over and over again that your blood pressure could be caused by the abnormal structural alignment of your spine, therefore, specific structural correction can help tremendously. My favorite is the one from the Journal Of Clinical Hypertension published in May 2006. This was a landmark study, as the top facility and researchers for hypertension were involved in conducting the research and reporting the results. The basic conclusion of the study was that structural correction worked better for the reduction of blood pressure than a person taking two to three blood pressure medications at the same time for an eight month period. The newest research was published in August 2014 in the Journal of

jects at nearly the same times so as to make the collection of results consistent. The corrective adjustments given to the subjects were for correction of detected atlas (top bone in neck) structural misalignment. The results of the study showed that those who received the real structural corrective adjustment had a significant reduction in both their systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The control group, who received the simulated adjustment, did not show any statistical change in blood pressure. In the conclusion of the study, the author states, “in this investigation the structural correction in the experimental group significantly decreased systolic and diastolic values.”

God has equipped our bodies in remarkable ways to ward off bacteria and viral invasions. It is our responsibility to nurture and support our own body so it has all the right tools to protect itself. I bet most of you did not know that a strong immune system starts in the gut. Our intestinal tracts have both good and bad types of bacteria. To stay healthy during the flu season, our bodies need more good bacteria than bad bacteria. To reduce the amount of bad bacteria in your gut, eliminate processed foods, sugar, soft drinks, and fast foods from your diet. Also, do your best to avoid taking antibiotics, which disrupt the overall balance of good and bad bacteria in your gut. To improve the good bacteria, start with eating real food including green leafy vegetables, bananas, garlic, plain yogurt, asparagus, and onions. Also, a good multi-strain probiotic supplement is a necessity. A recent study suggested that in order to boost your immune system, a fully colonized gut of at least 10 different good bacteria strains is needed.

If you contract the flu this season, here are a few natural remedies to help you.

Nettle Leaf: Mountain Rose Herbs Great source of nutrients including iron, calcium, potassium, vitamins A & C, chlorophyll, and magnesium. For powerful immune support, make a tea with nettle leaf and peppermint.

Elderberry Concentrate: Natural Sources Contains high levels of vitamins A, B and C. May speed the recovery of those who have the flu.

Oscillococcinum: Boiron Homeopathic formula containing Anas barbariae 200CK HPUS. May help to reduce the duration and severity of flu-like symptoms.

On Guard: doTERRA Essential Oils Blend of Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary essential oils. You can put this protective blend on the bottom of your feet for immune support. My goal is to empower you through naturopathic coaching so you can make important decisions about your own life and healthcare.

travel Destination Weddings By Cindy Brooks, Bella Travels, 770.317.1574, cindy@bellatravels.biz, www.bellatravels.biz He proposed. You said “yes”. In between the “yes” and the “I do”, there’s a whole lot that needs to be done - date, the dress, the venue, the reception. Years ago, it would’ve been unthinkable to not marry in your hometown with a church full of loved ones, but then, weddings used to be a simpler art form. Today’s bride is a bit more savvy and sophisticated. It’s no surprise that destination weddings have grown considerably over the past ten years. There are lots of great reasons to have a destination wedding. The cost is significantly less than a larger hometown wedding. The all-inclusive market, especially in the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Jamaica is fiercely competing for wedding dollars, resulting in a great price point for every couple. For an average stay of seven nights, most resorts offer a complimentary wedding with amenities for up to eight or ten guests and different color palettes. For a budget of $5000 to $6000 (including round-trip air), you can have a five star wedding at many all-inclusive resorts. The greater the number of rooms booked, the greater the amenities. There is a greater degree of intimacy with a destination wedding. Fewer guests lead to a greater sense of fellowship. Most reputable resorts will have a wedding coordinator who works with your travel agent to shepherd you through the process from confirming a wedding date until you say “I do”. Many upmarket resorts offer free anniversary nights the first year after a minimum honeymoon stay. The setting of a tropical sunset over a luminous ocean, the blue skies, the balmy weather all make for a wonderful natural backdrop. Think of money saved on decoration! Of course, the biggest con is that folks you wished to be present may not be able to attend; however, there are suppliers who offer flexible payment plans with a small deposit down. These same folks might have almost up to a year to pay. Purchasing

Six Dreamy Ways to Experience History in New York Behind the Castle Walls. Just 25 miles north of Manhattan in the Hudson Valley, the 31-room Castle Hotel & Spa in Tarrytown stands guard over the Hudson River like a medieval castle, complete with turrets and towers, encircled by a stone wall with its 75-foot main tower, the highest point in Westchester. Inside, much of the original woodwork and furnishings, including paneling transported from France, a Neo-Classical library and an elegant ballroom and Great Hall, remain in place, while its new spa, heated pool, restaurant and indulgent guest room amenities are pure 21st century. Secret Passageways for Spying. Built as a family retreat in 1905 in the Thousand Islands region by Commodore Frederick Gilbert Bourne, president of Singer Sewing Machine Company, Singer Castle presides over its own island. Here, hidden passageways and grates allowed Bourne to spy on his guests, who included Cornelius Vanderbilt and Vincent Astor. Today, the 28-room castle and private island are open to tourists during the day, but come evening, those who reserve the two-bedroom Royal Suite have the entire castle at their disposal, complete with a catered dinner and personal tour of this eccentric hideaway and only each other to spy on. Play like a Rockefeller. While some Gilded Age magnates were building castles, William Avery Rockefeller took a more natural approach and the fancifully grand log-cabin-style mansions of his former Great Camp epitomize the romantic 19th-century ideal of roughing it in luxury. Today, his former “camp” is one of the most exclusive and luxurious retreats in the country, The Point Resort, in Saranac Lake. A Symbol of Success. In 1869, when a business tycoon built the “House of Light” with 184 windows, the high cost of coal heat meant its owner was quite wealthy. The Buffalo mansion went through its ups and downs, but its striking Second Empire architecture with a mansard roof, porticos and huge windows remained intact. In 2001, the restored home re-opened as the Mansion on Delaware Avenue with 28 stately guest rooms and butlers who will do everything from drawing your whirlpool bath with special salts to lighting the in-room fireplace and chauffeuring you around the city in one of the hotel’s Range Rovers. Reliving the Roaring 20s. Charlie Chaplin was among the famous guests who attended the posh parties thrown by financier and philanthropist Otto Hermann Kahn during the Roaring 20s at his French-style chateau in Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island. His Oheka Castle has found new life as a sumptuous 32-room boutique hotel, where guests feel at home as they admire the Chateau Fontainebleau-inspired grand staircase and Olmsteaddesigned gardens. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the chateau frequently is used in films and photo shoots. A Utopian Dream. Many have dreamed of creating a utopian society, but the people who built and lived in the Oneida Community Mansion House from 1848-1880 actually tried to live it. Here, more than 300 people once lived as a single family, challenging traditional gender roles, monogamy, child-rearing practices and property ownership. Their former home and 200-acre property is now a National Historic Landmark with a museum. Overnight bed-and-breakfast guests enjoy comfortable bedrooms with private bath, access to the residents’ library and lounge and a private tour of the museum.

Thanksgiving decor ideas By Kathleen Wilson, www.decorating.org

Thanksgiving is a special time in our homes, when we all take a little time to appreciate the gifts and blessings in our lives. My number one blessing, as yours, is my family and friends! So let’s find some great ways to make your home a warm, inviting place this Thanksgiving Day for all your loved ones, including you! This is your opportunity to show your loved ones how important it is to you that they are sharing your table this year. Here are some ideas to make your Thanksgiving table extra-special.

Holiday tablecloths If you don’t have tablecloths, pick up a couple of green or gold sheets from WalMart or a discount store for less than $3. You can even layer a couple of them if you wish. Don’t feel shy about pressing coffee tables or card tables into service if you need more room, just use those cheap sheets! If you run out of chairs, push a table up to a couch on one long side, and you will only need chairs for the other side.

low so that guests can easily converse. Many designers make beautiful tablescapes on lifts and talk about height in an arrangement, but isn’t the people what it’s all about? 1. Use your nature theme, gather up some pretty dishes and pitchers, and pick some fall flowers or grasses from the yard. Pile up gourds on platters, fill bowls with nuts and insert a pillar candle, add pretty dried grasses to a wonderful vase, use bowls of apples, lemons or limes. 2. Take small bunches of flowers, wrap a wet paper towel and some plastic wrap around the stems, and insert randomly into the bowls of produce. Float some mum flower heads in a clear bowl of water, or add some greenery between the other items on the table. 3. Experiment with what you have available, what is affordable in your area, and what creates warmth in your heart. Try things several different ways, until you find a combination you like. Above all, remember this is not about impressing others; it is about making a statement about how much you care they are in your home, and in your life.

A bounty of dishware, suitable for feasting Set your table with all your dishware...it doesn’t matter if it all doesn’t match, or you had to borrow salad plates from a neighbor! Just keep the arrangement of each place setting the same, and it will tie it all together. For instance -- dinner plate, salad plate, soup bowl, repeat with next placesetting. Distribute the different styles of dishware evenly throughout the tables, much the same as you would do with accent colors in a room!

Indulge in cloth napkins Use cloth napkins, fold them into accordion pleats and place them in the water glasses. Don’t have cloth napkins? One twin flat sheet, a pair of scissors and some iron on hem tape (you could sew hems if you prefer) and you will have elegant napkins you can use again and again.

Organizing Tips

Do’s and Don’ts for Living Life Organized By Joyce Maxwell, Speaker, Designer, Organizer and Recent Recipient of the “Woman of the Year2013” by Douglas Co. Chapter ABWA. 770.312.0100, joyce@makeyourhomeahaven.com.

Are you facing yet another holiday season with left over clutter from last year? Every year you vow this will never happen again, yet despite your best intentions it does. Maybe you’re thinking there’s no hope; however, let me reassure you - there is! It’s still possible to end the year more organized than when it began. Just remember these simple do’s and don’ts and you will be headed in the right direction in no time.

1. Don’t attempt to do everything in one day! Your clutter didn’t just appear in one day and it won’t go away in one day. Pace yourself and take one baby step every day until living without clutter becomes a habitual way of life.

2. Do take a realistic look at your schedule and commitments. Look at your calendar and set aside several 15 to 30 minute segments specifically for organizing.

3. Do whatever is necessary to keep those appointments once they are on the calendar.

4. Don’t try to organize clutter! Clutter cannot be organized! Donate, throw away or give away anything you no longer use or love. Don’t just

keep moving it to different areas of the house. 5. Do start with a plan. Make sure you have the necessary supplies before you start. Several boxes or black garbage bags (for give-away, throw a-way and put-away) markers, Ziploc bags, and a timer will be enough to get you started. 6. Don’t try to do this alone. Enlist family members to help. Assign each person a different task so things will go quicker. If you still have children living at home (yes, even adult children) have them choose things to donate in order to make room for new gifts headed their way. 7. Don’t go from room to room. Start in one corner and work your way around the room. Don’t jump from one room to another; really concentrate on completing one section before moving forward. It is better to enter the New Year with one room completely finished rather than several rooms almost finished. 8. Do organize in a style that fits your unique personality. Remember there is no right or wrong way to get or stay organized. Start by asking questions like: “Do I like things visible or hidden? “What size space do I have available for storage?” “How often will I have to access this once I put it away?” 9. Do live your life by this new rule: One Item In-One Item Out! If applied, this one tip will drastically reduce clutter in your future…guaranteed! 10. Don’t become discouraged. Remember, it gets worse before it gets better. Just stay focused! Remember the old saying, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” This is a journey, not a sprint!

Landscaping Leaves and Their Color

By Kate Wright, who owns Bloom’n Gardens Landscape. She is a degreed Botanist, Certified Arborist, and Certified Pesticide Applicator, & Georgia Certified Landscape Professional, www. bloomngardens.com • 404.314.1474

Each November, I seem to come back to the same topic. I really don’t mean to be redundant, but the fall season truly fascinates me and definitely is one of my favorites. I think that it all stems from watching the transformation from green to brilliant hues. One has to contemplate - how does autumn color happen? For years, scientists have worked to understand the changes that happen to trees and shrubs in the autumn. Every detail may not yet be revealed, but it is known that three factors influence autumn leaf color; leaf pigments, length of night, and weather. The timing of the color change and leaf fall is primarily regulated by the calendar, that is, the increasing length of night. As days grow shorter, and nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical processes in the leaf begin to paint the landscape with nature’s autumn palette. A color palette needs pigments, and there are three types that are involved in autumn color. • Chlorophyll, gives leaves their basic green color. It is necessary for photosynthesis, the chemical reaction that enables plants to use sunlight to manufacture sugars for their food. Trees in the temperate zones store these sugars for their winter dormant period. • Carotenoids, produce yellow, orange, and brown colors in such things as corn, carrots, and daffodils, as well as rutabagas, and buttercups. • Anthocyanins, give color to such familiar things as cranberries, red apples, concord grapes, blueberries, cherries, strawberries, and plums. They are water soluble and appear in the watery liquid of leaf cells. Both chlorophyll and carotenoids are present in the chloroplasts of leaf cells throughout the growing season. Most anthocyanins are produced in the autumn, in response to bright light and excess plant sugars within leaf cells. During the growing season, chlorophyll is continually being produced and broken down and leaves appear green. As night length increases in the autumn, chlorophyll production slows down and then stops and eventually all the chlorophyll is destroyed. The carotenoids that are present in the leaf are then unmasked and show their colors. As leaves begin the process leading up to their fall, the veins that carry fluids into and out of the leaf gradually close off as a layer of cells forms at the base of each leaf. These clogged veins trap sugars in the leaf and promote the production of anthocyanins. Certain colors are characteristic of particular species. Oaks turn red, brown, or russet; hickories, golden bronze; aspen and yellow-poplar, golden yellow; dogwood, purplish red; beech, light tan; and sourwood and black tupelo, crimson. Maples differ species by species-red maple turns brilliant scarlet; sugar maple, orange-red; and black maple, glowing yellow. Leaves of some species such as the elms simply shrivel up and fall, exhibiting little color other than drab brown. The timing of the color change also varies by species. These differences in timing among species seem to be genetically inherited. The amount and brilliance of the colors that develop in any particular autumn season are related to weather conditions that occur before and during the time the chlorophyll in the leaves is dwindling. Temperature and moisture are the main influences.

Choosing A Lawn Mower By Maggie Oster, www.garden.org

Whether your lawn is a lush, velvety green carpet or, shall we say, less than perfect, the odds are high that you cut it with a lawn mower. For most of us, this means the type known as “a walk-behind rotary power mower.” With prices ranging from about $150 to $700, you might wonder about the value of some mower features and whether you need them all. Do you want the mower to pull you along as it cuts, or do you want to push it forward? Most gardeners opt for the former, called “self-propelled,” but you’ll find lower prices among the latter. Self-propelled mowers have the controls on a lever or bar within a few inches of the main handle. Current safety regulations require you to grip that lever in order to operate the engine. Once the lever is released, the engine automatically shuts off. It’s an important safety feature but can be a nuisance. A new feature, called a blade-brake clutch, on some of the high-end walk-behind mowers allows you to let go of the drive lever without the engine stopping. This means you can pause to pick up a branch or a toy in the way without having to restart the machine. Another fancy new feature is hydrostatic drive. It allows for continuously variable speed control and a reverse gear. It also provides better handling on slopes and in wet conditions. Variable-speed mowers have some of the advantages of hydrostatic mowers, but at lower cost. To enjoy the conveniences of a blade-brake clutch, look for a mower with either a hydrostatic or variable-speed drive. How much do you dread trying to start the mower? If you battle with any kind of gasoline engine, consider the ease of electric ignition. A rechargeable battery starts the motor with the turn of a key rather than a yank on a starter rope. Not withstanding the ease of electric start, all the newer, gas-powered engines are much easier to start. Most have a push button priming system that squirts gasoline into the carburator, and a simplified throttle system. Many mowers also have the pull cord up on the handle so you don’t have to bend to pull it. Another option for those who don’t want to deal with gas engines at all is an electric mower. They start with a switch and run quietly. Mulching mowers are pretty much required these days, simply because it’s more sensible to leave clippings on the lawn than send them to a landfill. Mulching mowers have a doughnut-shaped deck (the piece that covers the blade and holds the engine) and a multipitch blade. The outer section of the blade pulls grass up and cuts it, then the air currents created within the deck cause the clippings to keep swirling around until they are finely chopped. Air pressure forces these tiny clippings down into the turf, where they decompose. Don’t worry about leaving clippings on the lawn; they enrich the soil, resulting in greener, more vigorous turf. Some mowers can only mulch; others -- called “3-in-1” -- can mulch, bag, or discharge clippings to the side. If you go this route, be sure that you can easily (without tools) change back and forth among these options. One advantage of the 3-in-1 type mower is that it allows you to save clippings for the compost pile. Baggers are also handy in autumn for collecting shredded leaves for mulching or composting.

Pet Set Pet Care Tip What is Hip Dysplasia?

By Dixie Popham - Owner, Pet Set Grooming, 3313 Highway 5 Across from Publix, 770.949.0579 Hip dysplasia is one of the most common skeletal diseases in dogs and affects millions of dogs worldwide. As the disease progresses, a dog’s hip joints degenerate, causing increased pain and mobility issues for the dog. If left untreated, a dog will eventually be unable to use his/her hind legs and suffer extreme pain. However, the vast majority of dogs with hip dysplasia can lead full and active lives if the disease is diagnosed early enough and proper treatment is given and maintained. The condition is caused by a looseness in a hip joint that should be tight. If the ball and socket of the hip joint do not sit properly, the friction causes degeneration of the joints, which eventually leading to loss of function in the hip joints. Hip dysplasia is caused by a number of genetic and environmental factors. Some dogs can be born with hip dysplasia (often referred to as early onset hip dysplasia). From an inheritance perspective, it is a complex dis-

order with multiple genes involved. Therefore, it is not something easily eradicated from a particular breed or lineage. Dogs can also develop the disease in later years with the onset of arthritic conditions (often referred to as later onset hip dysplasia). Environmental factors can also cause hip dysplasia. These can include: rapid weight gain and obesity, nutritional factors, poor hind limb muscle development, pelvic injuries, or repetitive strain injuries. Early onset cases of hip dysplasia usually develops after four months of age. In young dogs, there is a laxity or joint looseness that develops as the dog grows. For later onset cases, the cause is usually due to a form of arthritis called osteoarthritis, which causes the joint cartilage to deteriorate. The onset can also be due to extreme “wear and tear”, often seen in working dogs, such as K9s and Search and Rescue animals who work on hard surfaces over many years. Hip dysplasia can affect all breeds, including mixed breeds. However, it is affects large and giant breeds more commonly than small ones. Some breeds are more genetically susceptible to hip laxity have higher instances of hip dysplasia, such as German shepherds, golden retrievers, labradors, rottweilers, great danes, saint bernards, and mixed breeds. Symptoms depend on the degree of joint looseness or laxity, the degree of joint inflammation, and the degeneration present. It’s important to note that the pain levels in a dog do not always corrolate with the disease’s progress. Some dogs with mild dysplasia may experience extreme pain. Whereas dogs with severe dysplasia may appear to be coping quite well. Common signs of hip dysplasia include: • Exercise intolerance • Bunny hopping (especially up stairs) • Swaying gait (rear end moves back and forth in pronounced fashion) • Stiffness/pain • Difficulty getting up from lying or sitting positions • Sitting in “frog” position (one hip splays out) • Reluctance to run, jump, climb stairs • Evinces pain when touched • Hind-limb lameness, often worse after exercise • Back legs more close together than front legs (eg narrow stance) As hip dysplasia progresses the following symptoms may appear: • Muscle waste in the hind quarters • Arthritis (especially in later onset) • Very reluctant to be touched • Unexplained aggressive behavior The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the better the treatment options available. This is because the longer the condition continues undiagnosed, the further the degeneration of the joints will occur.

Pet Thanksgiving Safety

By Debra Y. Milton, Four Paws Pet-Sitting, fourpawspetsitting.com, info@fourpawspetsitting.com, 678.838.7297 (PAWS) Turkey and all the trimmings can be very unhealthy for your pet. Remove the temptation for your pet and discard the scraps of your holiday dinner so the pet cannot retrieve them later. Not only can eating spoiled food harm your pet’s long-term health, but eating bones can also cause many potentially life-threatening problems. Spoiling your pet with rich fatty human food can also cause your pet to not want the food you regularly feed him.

Harvester Sporting Clay Team competes in first tournament The Harvester Hawks Sporting Clay Team traveled to Fayette County to compete in their first Amateur Trap Association tournament. The Fayette County 4-H hosted the event. Trinity Christian Academy was represented as well as other ATA individual shooters, 38 in all. Not only did the day start early but it was very windy and chilly. The adverse wind conditions lasted all day and really challenged all of the athletes. The Hawks met this challenge head on and 14 of their participating athletes posted their personal best competitive trap scores. Austin Hawkinson and Matthew Cline were tied for second place in their division which resulted in Harvester’s first shoot-off. Cline shot his first 25 out of 25 for the season. Austin shot his personal best of 24 out of 25 in trap for the current school year.

In a rematch of the 2013 ICSGA State Championship Game, Holy Ground Baptist (Roopville) once again defeated the Harvester Christian Academy Hawks, 43-32, last Friday night in Winston. The #1 ranked Stallions (maxpreps.com) started quickly, and led the Hawks, 15-0 after the first quarter. Harvester would close to 15-6 after a 10 yard pass from senior quarterback Colyan Miller to junior fullback Bryce Yerkey. After Holy Ground went up 21-6, the Hawks scored with just 17 seconds left in the half on a one yard run by Miller to trail at the half, 21-12. Harvester would drive down on the first possession of the second half to close within one point, on a 29 yard touchdown pass from Miller to junior receiver Dylan Allred. The two-point conversion was successful on a pass from Miller to senior Ryan Reagan to set the score at 21-20. Miller had his most productive night passing of the season, going 16 out of 33 for 254 yards and four touchdown passes. The completion total set a school record, and the yards and TD pass total both tied school records. Allred led the receivers with 135 yards on five receptions. Register also had five receptions for 64 yards. Miller would lead the rushing attack with 84 yards on 10 carries. Defensively, Bryce Yerkey led the squad with 18 tackles, followed by senior linebacker Caleb Biddy with 12.

They don’t receive a per diem for caring for these children and are only partially reimbursed for the expenses they incur. The Fostering Faith Christmas Project began in 2011 with 300 backpacks going to foster children in Carroll and Douglas counties. These backpacks held several items such as a stuffed animal, a toy, and candy. The project grew and by 2013 they provided 1,100 backpacks. Every child in foster care in Carroll, Cobb, Douglas, Fulton, and Paulding counties received a special gift at Christmastime. As the number of packs grew, so did the contents. This year each child will receive 15 to 20 items such as toiletries, books, crayons, games, toys, and school supplies.

children & education Governor, first lady celebrate Douglas County School System REACH scholars, families

During Statewide Signing Day, Gov. Nathan Deal welcomed five Douglas County School System students to the Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen (REACH) Georgia program, a needs-based scholarship designed to promote academic success and expand access to higher education. Douglas County Awarded the 2014 REACH Scholarship to the following students at the September 24th signing ceremony: • Jayla Brown - Yeager Middle School • Clayton Tyrel - Mason Creek Middle School • Aleia Gray - Chapel Hill Middle School • Aniyah Lewis - Factory Shoals Middle School • Patricia West - Stewart Middle School More than 100 Georgia students representing 23 school systems signed contracts for the 2014-2015 school year during the statewide event. “This program is a strategic investment in our students and our state,

opening doors for youth in Georgia who may not have the opportunity to seek postsecondary education due to financial constraints,” said Deal. “The scholars who signed contracts today have demonstrated dedication to their educational achievement, and I encourage them to continue working hard so they can find success in college and become part of Georgia’s top-ranked workforce.” Mitzi Teal, Executive Director of Communities In Schools of Douglas County coordinates the REACH program for the school system. She stated, “As a part of the program, the students signed contracts to maintain a certain grade point average, remain crime, drug, and behavior issue free and meet with a volunteer mentor until they graduate from high school. Their parents or guardians also signed contracts to support their student through their education. When these scholars graduate from high school, they will receive up to a $10,000 scholarship - $2,500 each year for up to four years - to be used at a HOPE eligible Georgia two or four-year college. Many colleges are matching this scholarship and some are double matching the scholarship, providing scholars additional resources.” At the event State Representative Dusty Hightower congratulated the scholars and the school system for their efforts and explained how REACH Georgia is a key component of the governor’s Complete College Georgia initiative, which calls for and identifies strategies for the state’s public and private colleges to add an additional 250,000 college graduates by 2020.

Party Venue Review of the Month

By Monique Mills, ThePartyMatch, www.thepartymatch.com How many of you knew that Douglasville Gymnastics & Cheerleading Club hosted kid’s birthday parties? Unless your child attends classes at this facility you may not have known and that’s why they’re November’s highlight. Douglasville Gymnastics & Cheerleading Club is located at 8877 Bright Star Road in Douglasville. You can’t miss their huge facility as you approach Veterans Memorial Highway. Due to their busy regular class schedule, birthday parties are only offered on Saturdays. Therefore, it is suggested to book them at least one month in advance of your preferred party date. You have the option of having your party from 12:30pm - 2:30pm or from 3pm - 5pm on any Saturday of the month. The party packages are designed to maximize play time in their large gymnasium with options including jumping on the trampoline, jumping into the foam pit, practicing cartwheels, handsprings, and other tumbling moves on the tumbling track, or even racing through an obstacle course prepared by the staff. These activities are sure to exhaust the energetic party-goers after 1 hour and 15 minutes of fun. The final 45 minutes are spent in the private party room overlooking the gym from the top level, leaving just enough time to wind down with refreshments and gift-opening. The party room seats 20 kids at picnic style tables, however, there’s plenty more room for additional seating if necessary. Each party package includes two party hosts, both of which are trained gymnastics instructors. Your hosts can prepare an agenda of basic tumbling and gymnastics instruction or just supervise the free play of the party guests.

Although some party packages include paper products, utensils, pizza, and juice for the attendees, parents are allowed to bring in any outside food they choose to make their party complete. Douglasville Gymnastics & Cheerleading Club is a unique venue option with friendly staff readily available to help make your child’s birthday special. As a recreational facility, this location could also be considered to host end-of-the-year school parties, end-of-season sports team parties, and any type of kid-friendly social gathering you might consider planning. Douglasville Gymnastics & Cheerleading Club is certainly a versatile location so keep them in mind for your next celebration.

Blakeman, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist - Adolescent Child Specialty Services, 4935 Stewart Mill Road, 404.310.1161, rblakemanphd@yahoo.com As parents, we aim to raise our children in a manner that will allow them to be happy, successful, independent adults. We aim for them to have happy, safe childhoods with no trauma, fear or sadness. However, there are many things in life we cannot control, and traumatic, scary, sad events will happen, despite our best efforts. While some individuals who experience trauma in childhood will carry emotional problems and scars throughout their life, the good news is that not all children will experience life-long negative consequences of trauma in childhood…those are children we would consider ‘resilient’. While some aspects of resiliency appear to be related to genetics, resiliency is a combination of nature and nurture, and there are things parents can do to ensure the ‘nurture’ side is built for resiliency; here are two relatively simple steps that parents can take to help protect their children from the effects of adverse events. One relatively simple way to build resiliency in children is to eat dinner together as a family three or more times a week. While there was recently an article making the internet rounds that outlined the stress of family dinners on parents (particular moms), the article missed the point. It’s not about what is eaten or how it is prepared; it’s about who is eating the meal together. It doesn’t matter if you are having sandwiches, a frozen pizza, take out or an old-fashioned home-cooked meal; eating the meal as a family will improve social skills and emotional coping and has been shown to reduce the likelihood that children will develop problems with substance abuse when they get older. Recent research has even shown that eating dinner together as a family can reduce the negative impact of cyberbullying. By eating dinner together several times a week (the more, the better), parents are creating a time for communication that will help ensure they stay connected to their children, particularly during the teenager years. But it works best when the TV and electronic devices are turned off! New research is suggesting another relatively simple thing we can do that is likely to build resiliency in our children…exercise. We have long known that exercise can help individuals who are already suffering with depression and anxiety, and that regular exercise is associated with improved sleep (which is a critical component in both psychological and physical health). But new research is indicating that we can prevent depression even in the midst of stressful situations that are often the trigger for depressive episodes. The chemical changes we experience in our body when we exercise appear to have a direct positive impact on our emotional well-being. So in addition to protecting us from physical problems (e.g., diabetes), exercise offers us protection from depression, and possibly other psychiatric symptoms. So building resiliency can be easier than you thought…now share a meal with your family and head outdoors for some exercise!

DFCS recruiting foster parents The Douglas County Department of Family and Children Services is recruiting loving families to provide a nurturing home for children in foster care. The goal is to maintain children in their home or a relative’s home, but unfortunately there are times that children must be placed in foster care for their safety and well being. When a child enters foster care, it is important for that child to be able to remain in their familiar surroundings. For more information about the resource parent program, please attend one of their monthly orientations. Please contact Sandra Hightower for more details at 770.947.7543

Douglas County School System’s Teachers of the Year

The Douglas County School System recently announced their 2014 2015 Teachers of the Year. They are Douglas County Teacher of the Year - Sarah Leach from Chapel Hill High School; High School Teacher of the Year - Sarah Leach; Middle School Teacher of the Year - Rueben Pitts, Turner Middle School; Elementary School Teacher of the Year - Amy Dobbs, Bill Arp Elementary School. Sarah Leach grew up in Columbia Station, Ohio as the daughter of David and Caroline Lewis, two medical professionals. Her grandmother, a long-time fourth grade teacher, was a huge influence on her decision to be an educator. Her family believed she was born a teacher, with memories of her as a young girl recruiting her sister, friends, and neighborhood children to play her students. Now, finishing her third year at Chapel Hill High School as an English teacher, Sarah realizes how far she had to persevere to keep that dream. Her first year teaching she was diagnosed with stage three Melanoma, which is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. She left for eight weeks, underwent invasive surgery, and returned as a fulltime teacher while undergoing complicated yearlong treatments. “I realized if I really wanted to keep my dream of teaching, I was going to have to push through some really hard times. So I just kept pushing and never looked back.” With her husband Matt Leach, a fellow Chapel Hill High School teacher, and their eight year old son Landon by her side, they continued, as a family, to support Sarah in her dream. “I remember so many days that first year that I was not sure how I would make it through the day, but I would just look out at my students and say to myself, ‘I must show them what being a warrior looks like.’” That is the legacy that Sarah wants to carry on. No matter what her students are going through, she feels strongly about sharing her story and supporting them to persevere through their own journey. For her, it is one of the greatest gifts that a teacher can give to her students. Rueben Pitts was born and raised in Miami, Florida. After high school, he joined the United States Marine Corps where he served with honor and distinction. While stationed in Hawaii, he enrolled at Chaminade University of Honolulu where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with an emphasis on personal group and human development. After receiving orders to Okinawa, Japan, Mr. Pitts enrolled in the University of Oklahoma where he earned a Master of Arts in Human Relations. Mr. Pitts retired to Georgia with plans to pursue a career in the corporate world. However, after visiting a classroom in the Douglas County School System, he was compelled to devote his life to educating and supporting the students of Douglas County. Consequently he enrolled in Grand Canyon University and earned a Master of Education in Secondary Education. Mr. Rueben Pitts currently teaches Social Studies to sixth grade students at Turner Middle School; he is also the school’s 21st Century Community Learning Center After School Director, and he serves as a mentor to both students and new teachers.

children & education Amy Herendeen Dobbs is currently a fourth grade teacher at Bill Arp Elementary School. Amy received a wonderful education from the Douglas County School System, graduating from Alexander High School in 1999. Following graduation, Amy continued her education at Berry College. After earning her Bachelor’s degree at Berry, Amy was thrilled to have the opportunity to return to her elementary school alma mater as a teacher in 2003. She furthered her education, earning her Master’s Degree from Central Michigan University in 2008, and her Ed.S from Liberty University in 2010. Amy was married in 2004, and she and Brad have two amazing boys. Paxton is currently in kindergarten at Bill Arp, and Parker is two years old. In Amy’s 11 years of teaching, she has spent seven years teaching third grade, and four years in fourth grade. Amy is excited about the opportunity to teach Program Challenge in the 2014/2015 school year. In the classroom, Amy strives to inspire students to learn in all subject areas and encourages them to present their knowledge through different learning styles. She believes that differentiation is key in order to meet all needs of the diverse learners in her classroom. During her time as an educator, she has gained valuable leadership experience serving as a team leader, mentor, facilitator of professional development opportunities, as well as a Relay for Life team captain.

medical directory & guide Salt is Good for You, Calcium Supplements are Bad, and the Lab Test Everyone Should Get There’s a reason – well, several – why so many diseases are increasing in frequency in the United States, making some that were almost unheard of 100 years ago commonplace today, says Robert Thompson, M.D., an OB/ GYN and integrative medicine specialist deemed by his peers to be in the top five percent of U.S. physicians. “The United States is now 46th in men’s mortality and the absolute worst country in the industrialized world for first-day infant mortality,” says Thompson, author of “The Calcium Lie II: What Your Doctor Still Doesn’t Know,” (calciumliebook.com), a new book that details the roles minerals play in overall health and how to identify and correct deficiencies and imbalances. “Based on the current rate of autism diagnoses, there will be no ‘normal’ male babies born in the U.S. by 2030,” he says. “The current rate of diabetes suggests 95 percent of our adult population will be diabetic by 2030. The number of children with life-threatening allergies has increased more than 1,000 percent since 1995.”

status. This may be the most important health test that exists, Thompson says. Only when you and your doctor know for sure your mineral status and important ratios can you adapt your diet, minerals and supplements to work toward proper balance. • Do not take calcium supplements unless tests indicate a deficiency. We’ve all been told that we must ingest lots of calcium to ensure strong bones. In fact, calcium is just one of at least 12 minerals in our bones, all of which must be present in the right balance for good bone health. Calcium has been added to so much of our food, it’s unlikely most of us are deficient. And yet, people are told to take calcium supplements. Excess calcium can cause kidney and gallstones, arterial plaque, bone spurs, calcium deposits in tissues other than bone, and brain cell dysfunction, brain shrinkage and dementia. Instead of calcium, Thompson instructs all his patients and readers to take a minimum of 3 grams of trace minerals derived from sea salt every day. • Salt – sodium – is necessary for digestion, nutrient absorption, cell function and metabolism. Limiting salt intake is not only the wrong advice for 90

medical directory & guide Alternative Treatment for Uterine Fibroids

By Drs. Mark Silverstein and Sepehr Panah, Interventional Radiologists at Quantum Radiology. 770.956.7827, www.quantumradiology.com Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during the childbearing years. They are not associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer. They may grow slowly or quickly. They may even shrink on their own. However, some women may need to seek medical treatment when their symptoms become severe. It us unknown what causes uterine fibroids. However, clinical research does show that several factors may influence them. African American women are more likely to develop fibroids than women of other racial groups. Other factors that can impact uterine fibroids include heredity, diet, genetics, and hormones.

able severity. An oral pain medication is prescribed to alleviate the discomfort. Most women return to their usual routine activities within 5-7 days after the procedure. A follow-up visit is generally scheduled one week after the UFE procedure. A follow-up MRI is scheduled six months post-procedure to assess the size and shrinkage of the fibroids and uterus. Advantages of this effective alternate treatment include avoidance of surgery and its inherent risks, rapid recover and a very low complication rate. Published clinical series report a 78-94% clinical success rate with no further therapy required. Even in cases where embolization is not therapeutic, UFE is helpful in reducing tumor volume to facilitate further surgical treatment. Experience has shown that UFE is a safe and highly effective option for women with symptomatic uterine fibroids.

Uterine Fibroid Symptoms may include: • Heavy bleeding • Prolonged menstrual periods – 7 days or more • Pelvic Pain • Pressure on surround internal structures • Low back pain • Frequent urination • Constipation • Painful intercourse For more than 30 years, interventional radiologists have performed nonsurgical, minimally-invasive techniques to control traumatic and tumor-related pelvic bleeding. Today, these established techniques are being used to treat women with symptomatic uterine fibroids complicated by bleeding and pelvic pain. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe and highly effective nonsurgical treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. It is performed worldwide as an acceptable alternative to traditional surgery – such as a hysterectomy. Using image-guided technology, an interventional radiologist places a catheter in two uterine arteries and small particles are injected to block the blood supply to the fibroids. This restricts the blood supply to the fibroid causing shrinkage of the uterus and fibroids. UFE resolves the patient’s symptoms in the majority of the cases. Usually, the fibroids and uterus shrink to approximately 50% of their original pre-procedure size with maximum effect about one year after the procedure is performed. To determine if Uterine Fibroid Embolization is the right treatment, a woman should be evaluated first by her gynecologist. To prepare for the procedure, a thorough history and physical exam is performed. An MRI of the pelvis is obtained to evaluate the size and distribution of the fibroids and to ensure there are no contraindications to performing the procedure. It is important to exclude other conditions for which UFE would not be appropriate. UFE is generally performed as an outpatient procedure with conscious sedation. The patient is usually discharged later the same day. In rare cases, the patient may be hospitalized overnight for pain control as needed. After the procedure the patient will experience some crampy pelvic pain of vari-

Five Things to Know Before You Call a Web Developer By Jacques Vincilione, Lucien Consulting, 770.847.6887, lucienconsulting.com Why is this important? It’s perfectly fine to seek guidance from a deAt Lucien Consulting we have years of experience meeting with clients and potential clients. Many of our meetings are to discuss deliverables for a veloper, but they don’t know your business model, nor do they work in your website, database, or design. I’m sure any developer or designer will tell you industry. You are the expert in your industry, the developer is the expert in that most potential clients know what they want in broad terminology, i.e. his/hers. What someone may need to know to hire a plumber may be much different than what they need to know to find a caterer. a website; but they don’t know what they want when it comes to specifics. Here are a few things to know and/or have before you call or meet with 4. Content, content, content – know what content you want.

(Or anywhere that would make sense.) The inverse is also true. You don’t want to have to much information on website. Why is this important? Different audiences have different needs. If one page, unless that information is easy to navigate. Why is this important? Knowing what content you want before hand you’re a company that primarily targets young adults, and you are launching a new website for the new line of your product for elementary children, will allow the developer to help you build your website around content, which is the most important part of your site. They can also then help you you’re new website should not have the same “feel.” get started on Search Engine Optimization if they have a good idea of what 2.

I may ask, “What colors do you want?” only to be told two or three 5. Know your needs and your budget.

Why is this important? No one is happy when a project has to stop along. It will save time in the meeting, save the developer/designer time (and your money), and will give the designer/developer a better chance of getting mid-way due to budget constraints.

business & technology Douglasville CVB welcomes new tourism director The Douglasville Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) is pleased to announce and welcome its new Tourism Director, Chantel Ross Francois who entered her new position on September 16. Francois, a native of Canada, earned an associate’s degree in accounting from the State University of New York and a branding certificate from Emory University. She has over 20 years of combined experience in tourism and managing convention and visitors bureaus. In her most recent position as sales manager for the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, Francois managed sales and marketing activities for the newly-developed East Point DMO (destination marketing organization) and the reunions market for the City of Atlanta. Her experience is enhanced by her impressive international accomplishments in the travel and tourism industry. Francois was personally recruited by the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda and the Ministry of Tourism to market the twin island and to lead the marketing and promotional efforts for its inaugural and ongoing Delta nonstop service to Atlanta. In this position, Francois hosted and worked with prime ministers and heads of state from around the world. She also worked with the United States Secret Service on high-profile visits of world leaders to Atlanta. Other interna-

tional project highlights include her involvement in the Fifth Summit of the Americas attended by President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other heads of state, as well as her contribution to the Commonwealth Heads of State Conference (CHOGM), hosted by Queen Elizabeth II and attended by Heads of the Commonwealth member states. In her new role as Douglasville CVB Tourism Director, Francois will lead efforts in the development and advancement of tourism in the Douglasville community and will also be responsible for the overall leadership of the Douglasville CVB and Welcome Center staff. One of her short term objectives is “to embark on an aggressive awareness campaign utilizing my past relationships as well as nontraditional and innovative methods to get the word out about Douglasville and all of the remarkable amenities we have to offer,” said Francois. “We seem to be a well-kept secret and definitely a hidden gem in the tourism industry.” Her future goals are to “position Douglasville as a premier destination for small-market meetings and conferences as well as an attractive leisure destination located only 20 minutes from the world’s busiest airport (Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport) and the city lights and attractions of downtown Atlanta.” Francois is a member of the Atlanta Airport Rotary Club where she serves as director of public relations. “I really enjoy being a Rotarian and giving back to the community,” said Francois. Aside from being a community advocate and developing and promoting tourism, Francois enjoys shopping, traveling, and spending time with family.

The only exceptions to this rule are items that are misrepresented or defective. The laws in all states require a store to make good in such cases.

GreyStone linemen wore pink hard hats for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

GreyStone Power linemen showed their support for breast health during the month of October, which was Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Each employee who typically wears a yellow or white hard hat, including all linemen and those in the Field Services, Technical Services and Staking departments, received a pink hard hat to wear. The pink hard hat idea began to develop when GreyStone Purchasing Department Manager Danny Alsobrook was approached by a vendor, TriState Utility Products, Inc., and was told that one of Tri-State’s manufacturers, 3M™, had created the pink hard hats to promote breast cancer awareness. In addition to the promotional efforts, 3M supported the American Cancer Society® by donating $15,000 to breast cancer research. “By us purchasing the pink hard hats, it helped 3M fund their donation,” said Alsobrook. GreyStone Operations Department Manager Steve Findley and Alsobrook presented the idea of the pink hard hats to GreyStone President/ CEO Gary Miller, who quickly agreed to the promotion. “I think everybody thought it was a good cause and a good way to show support,” said Alsobrook. Findley said the pink hard hats were well received among the linemen. “We have a couple folks who’ve had breast cancer touch their families, so everybody was happy to do it,” he said. When GreyStone’s linemen are out in the community, Alsobrook hopes that people will take notice of the new hard hats. “I think it’ll make them look twice and show them that GreyStone is committed to breast cancer awareness and we’re a good corporate partner,” he said. At the end of October, employees will retire their pink hard hats to keep

CONSIDER THIS: According to the Midyear 2014 Consumer Survey conducted by the Georgia Credit Union Affiliates (GCUA), 46.6 percent of respondents indicate they will look for ways to earn extra money during the upcoming holiday season, with 23.7 percent hoping to make more than $1,000. Why so much? Gallup.com reported in 2013 the average American household would spend approximately $740 during the holiday shopping season. With the season approaching, where will consumers turn to obtain the cash they need to fund extra expenses? More than 14 percent of respondents intend to get a seasonal job to make extra money. Another 13.2 percent plan to work overtime at their current place of employment, and more than 8 percent indicate they will sell belongings online or in places such as yard sales. Finally, another 5.4 percent of respondents plan to conduct personal services like house cleaning, babysitting, pet sitting and tutoring. Vice President of Branch Strategies for
