The Old Guard 2 (July 2) – In 2020, Netflix scored a hit with this adaptation of the Greg Rucka graphic novel series. It helped that this over-the-top action movie starred Charlize Theron, having cemented her action chops in the wildly successful “Mad Max: Fury Road.” In “The Old Guard” and this new sequel, Theron plays Andy, a nearly indestructible warrior who has rooted out injustice over the centuries. After defeating a maniacal pharmaceutical head who attempted to exploit Andy and her team’s powers in the first film, Andy, now mortal, must confront the evil Discord (Uma Thurman), the first of their kind.

Sinners (July 4) – l Fix Rating 8/10 – Soulful Delta blues music leads Ryan Coogler’s beautiful and ambitious “Sinners.” By blending historical realism with supernatural elements, Coogler’s wholly original project is a remarkable success featuring themes that resonated earlier this year with a powerful theatrical run. The hit film is set in 1930s Mississippi. In an impressive dual role, Michael B. Jordan plays enterprising twin brothers Smoke and Stack, whose aim to run a nightclub is disrupted by an Irish vampire (Jack O’Connell) looking to expand his bloodthirsty clan.

Happy Gilmore 2 (July 25) – Adam Sandler’s 1996 “Happy Gilmore” came after the comedic actor’s successful “Billy Madison.” While it was a modest theatrical success, “Gilmore” became a cult classic, with cultural influence on the sport of golf. Who could forget Gilmore’s on-course tirades and his epic fistfight with none other than Bob Barker (“the price is wrong, b—-h!”). As part of Sandler’s ongoing mega-deal with the streamer, it was inevitable that a Gilmore sequel would be mounted. This time, Gilmore resumes golfing to raise money for his daughter’s ballet school. Christopher McDonald is confirmed to return to the role of pro-golfer Scooter McGavin.

Twisted Metal (season 2 premieres on July 31) – The second season of the post-apocalyptic video game-inspired series gets 12 episodes (two more than season one). Anthony Mackie (MCU’s new Captain America) returns to play driver John Doe, along with expert car thief Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz), to enter the dangerous Twisted Metal demolition derby tournament. “Barry” star Anthony Carrigan joins the cast as the competition host Calypso.

Foundation (season 3 premieres July 11) – Despite appealing to a niche science fiction audience, Apple continues to pour money into this multi-season adaptation of the best-selling Isaac Asimov novels. In this installment, “Game of Thrones” star Pilou Asbæk takes over the iconic role of the Mule, the season’s chief adversary, whose telepathic abilities can affect the balance of power. Like many handsomely produced Apple series, “Foundation” is one of the best shows that no one is watching.

Suspicious Minds (series premiere July 10) – Set on the fictional Pacific tropical island of Isla Esperanza, this heist romantic thriller stars Silvia Alonso as a master thief named Amber. Her latest job has evolved over several years, during which she embedded herself as the governess for a wealthy Mexican Oil tycoon’s children. But Amber’s best-laid plans are upset when her former lover and partner, Rui (Álex González), shows up looking to poach her score. The trailers pitch this playful series in Spanish as a sexy and fun summer escape.

“Never mind, Jim and I figured it out,” “That’s great hon,” I replied. “Wait, what?”

Levi Winters, Social & Visual Media levi@wintersmedia.net

“‘Jim and I figured it out.”

Okay, so at this point, I got out of my chair to see who Jim was and why he was in my house. Oh, and also what in the heck he was helping Corby with.

“So where is this Jim?” I ask.

And the Little Black Dress looks at me like I am some kind of crackpot who needs to be in one of those homes for, well, crackpots.

“Gemini!!’” she says, pointing at her phone.

Oh yeah, Gemini, the guest who just installed itself on my phone and won’t go away. For you precious snowflakes who believe Apple is all that and a bag of chips, Gemini is the new and very NOT improved Android version of Siri.

I was very happy with my “Hey Google” voice before - a sexy Australian female.Called her Danielle, and I would press a button and she’d tell me good morning in her little Australian accent and then tell me what all I had going on that day.

Now we have Hal 2000 from the Space Odyssey. Can we change the voice? No. In fact, Jim or Gemini or whoever made it very clear … that would be a NO! And Jim is sort of an idiot at times, such as: “Hey Google, call Corby.” Lots of twirling going on inside my phone and then I get the Data voice saying, “Do you want me to call Corby?” So I have to say “yes,” or it won’t call Corby. And then it (Jim/Gemini) proudly says, “Calling Corby.”

Corby Carlin Winters, Vice President

Another major headache - in the past, I would ask Danielle a question and she would find whatever I needed and say, again in that cool Australian accent, “here’s what I found.” And then I would see various options and choose one and read it.

The PAPER is distributed throughout Coweta County and surrounding areas. You can find it at restaurants, banks, tourist locations, hotels, convenience stores, libraries and other high visi-

But not Gemini. No, Gemini will go find the answer to my question and then read it to me in the horrible Hal 2000 computer voice.

For example, I wanted to know if penguins have knees. They do, which you probably didn’t know, but let’s see what The Dork says.

“Yes, penguins have knees, but they are hidden inside their bodies by feathers, giving them a short-legged appearance.”

Which is kind of like asking if humans have knees because they are hidden by long pants. “Yes, humans have knees,” according to Jim/ Gemini/Hal, who does not elaborate.

Apparently, there might be a way to change the voice. Working on that. Stay tuned.

Until next time.

Coach Corby’s unconventional approach to life

Just Flip the Dog came about one day while Winters was publisher of the Juneau Empire in Alaska more than 26 years ago. His graphics team came up against an issue they just could not solve.

It was coming up on deadline to print the newspaper and they still couldn’t fix the problem, which involved printing out all the ads. The issue was that every time they hit ‘print,’ the ads would come out backwards.

So Winters came down and everyone explained how you are supposed to do “X” with the computer. And Winters said, well, why don’t you try doing “Y? And everyone freaked out because you are supposed to do “X” with the computer (literally hitting a specific button).

“Is doing X working” he asked.

“No,” everyone said.

“Then do Y (Y being the exact opposite of X in this case). Total silence because no one was going to go “but X makes it …”

So they did Y, which was literally flipping an icon of a dog upside down on the computer … and the ads came out the way they should have. (Check out justflipthedog.com for the full story).

In one of his first posts on justflipthedog.com, Winters explained the concept: “sometimes what is supposed to work doesn’t, for whatever reason. Instead of beating your head against a wall, try attacking the problem in a completely different way.”

I loved this concept and wanted Winters to write a book about this philosophy.

Unfortunately, Winters was, as he put it, “writing a book every day putting out a newspaper” So, being the wonderful wife that I am, I started writing chapters myself. All these years later I still believe Just Flip the Dog is far bigger than just a motto or a catch phrase. Just Flip The Dog is a personal and professional mindset.

It is a transformative and unconventional approach to work, marriage, family and the meaning of Life; I began incorporating what I wrote in my professional counseling, coaching and speaking. In what Winters calls, my jump starter book, I wrote about all kinds of ways we can improve our professional and personal life.

From my perspective, regardless of what you come up against, I want you to have the tools you need to be successful and perform at your best as well as in your passion and purpose.

And one of my favorite chapters is: Anticipating Trains.

None of us wake up in the morning thinking we need to worry about trains. But the reality is trains can make us stop or change direction.

When we moved to Grand Island, Neb., I had never seen so many trains - trains that went right through the middle of town at all hours. Trains make you late for work, an important meeting or a special family event.

Real trains or metaphorical trains, can have a long-term impact on the direction of your life. There is a reason those red lights are flashing and sometimes we are so busy we overlook them.

Trains or problems can pop up out of nowhere. Sometimes we totally miss the warning signs in our workplace or marriage. Some people panic, some seek help, some put their head in the sand and some rally in the midst of a crisis.

My hope is you will dig into your tool box of life skills and pull out whatever tools you need to face those life issues. I hope the tools I share will help you be the kind of person that can face problems or set backs head-on with a successful outcome.

Learning to be intuitive, discerning, and sensitive to the world around us are critical skills. Being willing to do something that looks totally incongruent and wrong to others and being willing to do a complete 180 just may be the best thing you ever do.

Some business trends are timeless and others just need to be tossed out. You are never too old to learn new skills, to change and learn to do life differently and better. Learning to implement new ways to do life will keep you from being left behind in this fast paced ever changing world.

It often takes courage. Doing it differently than everyone expects isn’t always the easy road. Anticipating trains I believe is a great place to start.

I hope you will join the journey of Just Flip The Dog.

Real Estate …

How to Beat the Real Estate Market Dip If you have not noticed lately, the local real estate market is changing quickly. The number of listings is up, and buyer demand is down. Even prices are starting to come down. If you are a homeowner and need to sell or are thinking about selling, you may think now is not the time. But homes are still selling; the difficulty in doing so has just increased.

We’ve Got You Covered!

Insurance for

Home • Auto Renters Business We do Title Bonds!

Jess Barron The biggest challenge that I see for sellers right now is realizing how much the market is changing. The market is cooling, and prices are decreasing. Many people do not realize that right now. A home that was worth $750,000 three years ago, may only be worth $690,000 now. Many homeowners are still listing at these higher values despite recent adjustments in the local market. A knowledgeable and active real estate agent can advise you of local market conditions and values. Another option is to hire a local appraiser to appraise your house if you and the agent are having trouble doing so. This is the most important step in selling your home: pricing.

You only get one chance to make a first impression. This is an old tried and true phrase, but it is very true in real estate. This goes for both online and in-person nowadays. Having your home in top-notch condition and ready to show is a must as the market shifts.

From the driveway and the landscaping to the kitchen and bathrooms, make sure that the house is clean and decluttered with no outstanding repairs. Professional photos, videos and editing is very important in today’s world when most buyers are finding your home online. You or your agent should not have any reservation spending some time and money on presenting your property in the best light possible. After all, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

If you are a seller, patience and creativity in a market shifting to favoring the buyer is key. You may need to get more creative and think about where your home is being viewed. Maybe you have an equestrian property, and you need to advertise in appropriate groups on Facebook or equine publications. Or perhaps, you have an historic home.

You need to be looking for outlets that have old house lovers and enthusiasts as their mailing base.

Buyers are going to try and negotiate more in these buyer markets as well. You may need to give.

To borrow another old phrase, you may need to lose a battle (concede on something like closing costs) to win the war (sell the house).

Fireworks Over Newnan Lights Up the Sky with Community Spirit

Photos, Story by Ashley Collins Thousands gathered under clear Georgia skies on July 4th for the beloved Fireworks Over Newnan, a 39-year tradition celebrating community, patriotism, and the spirit of service. The event was presented by the Rotary Club of Newnan in partnership with the City of Newnan and Coweta County.

Ashley Collins, President & CEO of NewnanCoweta Habitat for Humanity, served as the Master of Ceremonies, welcoming families to the Newnan High School lower field for an evening of live music, local food trucks, and the annual “Most Patriotic Kid Contest.” The event culminated in a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the skyline as attendees cheered and reflected on the freedoms they cherish.

“It was an honor to help lead a tradition that brings our community together to celebrate what makes Newnan and America special: neighbors supporting neighbors,” said Collins. “This event is a reminder of the power of community, especially as we work to ensure everyone has a safe, decent place to call home.”

This year’s Most Patriotic Kid Contest gave children the unique honor of leading the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance before the fireworks began, highlighting the next generation’s role in preserving freedom and community pride.

Fireworks Over Newnan would not be possible without the dedicated volunteers, sponsors, and first responders who ensure the event remains a safe, welcoming tradition for all.

A Guide to Veterans Benefits for Home Care

As the population of aging veterans continues to grow across the nation, many families face challenges in finding personalized care solutions. Financial considerations can often be a significant hurdle in securing the support their loved ones need.

Many veterans of the U.S. military—including those who served in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, or Coast Guard— may not realize they could qualify for in-home care benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Who is Eligible for VA Home Care Benefits?

Your loved one may qualify for financial assistance to cover in-home personal care if they meet certain requirements: • They served in active duty in the military, naval, or air service and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.

• Members of the Reserves or National Guard may also qualify if they were called to active duty by a federal order (not for training purposes) and completed the full term of their service.

Understanding VA / Home Care Benefits Veterans may be eligible for benefits under the VA’s Community Care Network (CCN) program or the Aid and Attendance program.

Community Care Network (CCN) Benefits Through the CCN program, veterans may receive coverage for home-health care services.

This service can provide a variety of personal care needs, such as bathing and dressing, in

worker.

• Gathering documentation, including proof of military service, identification, financial records, and medical information, as required.

A VA service representative can guide you through the process and provide details on the documents needed.

Introducing: Jojo Johnson

Home Helpers is proud to welcome Jojo Johnson as our Veteran’s Advocate.

Jojo will help veterans navigate and access support through the VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Program. A Minnesota native, she began her service to others at age 18 when she joined the U.S. Navy. She spent eight years as a Navy corpsman and went on to become a Registered Nurse. With a deep passion for patient advocacy— especially for her fellow veterans—Jojo brings both personal experience and professional expertise to her role. addition to home maker needs, like cooking and housekeeping. A service care coordinator is assigned to assess the veteran’s care needs and determine the number of hours of care required each week. They will then contact a VA authorized agency, like Home Helpers, who will provide you with qualified caregivers. Payments for CCN services are made directly from the VA to the authorized care provider.

Aid and Attendance Benefits This program is available to veterans receiving a VA pension who require assistance with daily living activities. Eligibility criteria include: • Needing help with tasks like dressing, bathing, or eating.

• Being confined to bed due to illness or injury.

• Residing in a nursing home.

• Having limited vision.

• Requiring supervision due to dementia or other cognitive diseases.

For veterans unable to leave their homes because of a permanent disability, the VA may provide additional “Housebound” benefits.

These funds are typically added to the veteran’s monthly pension.

Steps to Apply for VA Home Care Benefits Families can apply for these benefits by completing VA Form 10-10EZ and submitting it to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Additional steps include: • Visiting a local VA center to speak with a service coordinator, case manager, or social

When to Apply It’s advisable to begin the application process as soon as possible—even before in-home care is required. Processing times can be lengthy, and early application can help avoid out-of-pocket expenses while waiting for approval.

Notes from here, there and the Internet …

Congratulations to John Abbey, 77, who recently shot his age at the Newnan Country Club. For those wondering, he shot a 77, only five shots over par. That is a feat any golfer would love to achieve.

[ [ [ One of the most important lessons you can learn early is that just because someone does something for a living doesn’t mean they are good at it.

[ [ [ Piedmont Oncology recently recognized its oncologists and local cancer program team members for their efforts to grow Piedmont’s oncology program and provide exceptional cancer care across the state. The inaugural Piedmont Oncology Physician and Staff Recognition Awards recognized 30 recipients in eight award categories.

[ [ [ During your life you will walk by, drive by, sit near and occupy the same rooms with hundreds of thousands of people that you will never meet.

[ [ [ Young people from more than 40 elementary and middle schools in Coweta, Fayette and Pike counties were recognized this spring for some important non-academic achievements. The Mahaffey Linkous All Smiles Awards, presented by Dr. Mike Mahaffey and Dr. Eric Linkous of Mahaffey Linkous Orthodontics, recognize students in grades 4-8 who consistently uplift their peers and embody a generous spirit.

[ [ [ How do we know Aristotle wasn’t pronounced like Chipotle?

[ [ [ The Coweta County Master Gardener Extension Volunteer (MGEV) program proudly awarded five scholarships this year to exceptional students pursuing careers in agriculture, horticulture, environmental sciences, and related fields.

[ [ [ There are a lot more cats named Tom than mice named Jerry.

[ [ [ When you wake up to roll over in bed, it’s like changing the channels on the dreams you’re having.

[ [ [ Piedmont Oncology welcomed innovative head and neck surgeon and surgical oncologist, Mark W. El-Deiry, M.D, to its team of cancer specialists. Dr. El-Deiry will be based out of Piedmont Newnan Hospital. He will also serve as the founding medical director for Piedmont Oncology’s Head and Neck Cancer Program.

[ [ [ The City of Newnan recently held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the official start of construction for a significant expansion of the pickleball courts at the popular House of Pickleball (The Hop). The expansion will include six new pickleball courts.

[ [ [ West Georgia Technical College (WGTC) has announced that its Adult Education program has received a $10,000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation (DGLF). The funds are a part of a record-setting, one-day donation in the Foundation’s history of more than $13.2 million to support adult, family, and summer literacy across the country.

[ [ [ People are often hesitant to spend more money than necessary, but won’t think twice about procrastinating their time away.

[ [ [ The Board of Clothes Less Traveled has announced the promotion of Hope Brown to Executive Director.

Hope has been an essential member of their Leadership Team since joining the organization in 2021. This promotion is a testament to her exceptional management, people skills and strong values. Hope emulates our values of community, leadership and teamwork, the board said in a statement.

NEWNAN

Save the Date: Autumn Chase Returns October 25

Race Benefitting Piedmont Newnan Fitness Center

Piedmont Oncology welcomes innovative head and neck surgeon and surgical oncologist, Mark W. El-Deiry, M.D, to its team of cancer specialists. Dr. El-Deiry will be based out of Piedmont Newnan Hospital. He will also serve as the founding medical director for Piedmont Oncology’s Head and Neck Cancer Program.

“Dr. El-Deiry is an exceptional surgeon, physician, and leader, and we are thrilled that he has joined the Piedmont Oncology physician leadership team,” said Walter J. (Wally) Curran Jr., M.D., Whitaker Endowed Chief, Piedmont Oncology. “His surgical and leadership skills will augment the services we can offer our patients.

He will lead a multi-disciplinary program to serve Piedmont patients with tumors of the mouth, throat, sinuses, neck, or facial regions.”

Piedmont Oncology is a premier community-based cancer care program—providing compassionate, quality care that is fully aligned with research and innovation, to patients across Georgia.

“Being able to offer high-quality, specialized patient-centered care to men and women in this community, where they have their support system, is such a positive to their recovery,” said Dr. El-Deiry.

Dr. El-Deiry has been practicing medicine for over 20 years and is one of the most experienced head and neck cancer surgeons in the country. Prior to joining Piedmont, he was the Program Lead for the Head and Neck Tumor Program at Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University where he developed a unique multidisciplinary model of care for head and neck cancer, including the design of the new cancer tower in Midtown Atlanta, as well as helping that program achieve national prominence. Dr. El-Deiry is board certified in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. He specializes in treating both benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck. His special interests include microvascular reconstruction of complex head and neck defects, post radiation complications in the head and neck, as well as treating rare tumors of the head and neck including salivary tumors and vascular tumors.

Dr. El-Deiry earned his medical degree from Rush University Medical College in Chicago and completed his Otolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery residency at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. He then went on to complete a fellowship in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology and Microvascular Reconstruction surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle.

“We are so excited to have Dr. El-Deiry join our team of dedicated cancer specialists,” said Mike Robertson, CEO of Piedmont Newnan. “He will be a wonderful addition and will help us continue to expand our service offerings here in our local community.”

JOINTS

Everyone has their “go-to” place to eat.

It might be with linen tablecloths and waiters in ties, or where you throw peanuts on the floor and carve your initials in the wooden tables.

Whatever and wherever, it’s your “joint.” There are lots of these places around here, and we’re out to find them all in The Joints column and on website wintersmedia.net.

El Taquito … 1389 Highway 29 South, Newnan 770.252.2777 It’s located inside a gas station. Their Coke is from Mexico and has sugar. This is the real deal.

But you’d be missing out if you didn’t try their breakfast and lunch “sandwich crépes.” Let’s just say their simple ham and cheese creépe would put your mama’s to shame and make her cry. And the “Lisa’s Crépe,” which is basically a ham crépe on steroids, is awesome. Heck, everything is.

Come support this veteran-owned joint right in the middle of downtown Senoia.

Locos Tacos 226 Greenville St. S, Suite G, Newnan • 678-552-949 locostacosnewnan.com You know it’s authentic when they offer Mexican Coke and Mexican Fanta. And the food … burrito Locos, fajita bowls, birria tacos, delicious dips, desserts and more.

The Redneck Gourmet … 11 N. Court Square, Newnan • 770.251.0092 Where you go to see a lot of people you know.

RPM Full Service … 15 Jackson Street, Newnan • 770.683.1414 • Great pub food.

Those into Reubens give it high marks.

Señor Taco … 75 Main St., Senoia 678.723.7255 • senortaco.com If you happen to be out and about in Senoia, you have to try out Senor Taco. It is so good they’ve had to move across the street to a bigger place. Any place that serves you two different salsas with chips.
