The 76th anniversary of the Kiwanis Coweta County Fair hits this month. The 11-day event will take place at the Coweta County Fairgrounds, located at 275 Pine Road, from September 12 - 22.

Levi Winters, Social & Visual Media levi@wintersmedia.net Ruth Harris Doyal, Composition 770.254.1421 info@wintersmedia.net

Coweta County Fair

The PAPER office is located at 15 Perry Street, Newnan, GA 30263 Mailing address is: P. O. Box 757, Newnan, GA 30264

Some interesting and important information: Mega Passes

Get them. You will save $$$$$ with each one. More importantly, you will not be standing in line for your gate admission ticket. And you won’t have to stand in line waiting (again) to purchase ride tickets.

Save money and save time. It’s a no-brainer. You can stop by Arnall Grocery, Keith Ross Insurance, Summit Family YMCA or the Coweta County Extension Office to buy them. Or, check out the front top corner of our website: http://wintersmedia.net for a link to purchase the Mega Pass online.

AND ... the Mega Pass price has dropped to only $30 per ticket this year.

Some background

In 2022, nearly 45,000 people attended this annual entertainment get-together which set a new attendance record. The average daily attendance was just over 4,000. Last year, attendance was just shy of 40,000.

The Coweta County Fair has a long and storied history with the very first fair taking place in 1874. After various interruptions through the years, the Newnan Kiwanis Club took over the County Fair in 1947 and has been the headlining sponsor ever since.

What It’s All About

Proceeds from the Fair are distributed within the local community as grants to dozens of organizations who share Kiwanis’ dedication to serving the children of the world. Since 2000, Newnan Kiwanis has donated more than $5.1 million to the charities of Coweta County from the Fair’s proceeds.

Anything Fried

By the way, the top 10 craziest fair foods are; Funnel Cake; The Classic Corn Dog; Hot Toasted Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich; Deep Fried Cookie Dough; Beer Battered Cheese Curds; Fried Mac and Cheese; Fried Pickles; Frito Pie; Deep Fried Mashed Potatoes on a Stick; Turkey Legs.

More Info

Make sure to check out our website: http://wintersmedia.net for the “All Things Fair” section. We’ve already posted several stories about the Fair and will have daily updates during the actual event.

It is a family-fun event and raises money for several notable charities. Please make plans to attend and we’ll see you there!

Don’t Store Your Winter Clothes Until You Do This!

CROSSROADS PORTABLE BUILDINGS

Summer is all but here. If you haven’t already, it’s time to store winter items.

1616 MLK JR Parkway • Griffin GA 30224

Before storing heavy sweaters, coats, and blankets, ensure they’re thoroughly cleaned.

Making Dreams A Reality!

Winter wear accumulates dirt, oils, and sweat, which can cause odors, attract pests, and damage fabrics if stored uncleaned.

Imagine finding your favorite wool sweater musty and motheaten next winter. Properly washing and dry-cleaning items before storage preserves their quality and extends their lifespan. Be certain to store items in breathable sealed bags and acid-free tissue paper.

We have both should you need them or we can clean and store everything for you in our climate-controlled space.

Taking these steps ensures your winter essentials will be fresh, clean, and ready to keep you warm when the cold weather returns.

We sort, launder,dry, fold and deliver your laundry.

News and Musings …

Notes from here, there and the Internet …

The city of Newnan recently celebrated the completion of the new ADA playground at Sprayberry Park (60 Sprayberry Road). Discussions about a new ADA playground began in early 2023 and the design and installation process was recently completed. [ [ [ “No matter how big a number is, it is always closer to zero than infinity.” [ [ [ Some “fun facts” about the most fun states in the country from our friends at WalletHub: [ California has the most movie theaters (per square root of population), which is 7.4 times more than in Rhode Island, the state with the fewest. [ California has the most restaurants (per square root of population), which is eight times more than in Alaska, the state with the fewest. [ Texas has the most amusement parks (per square root of population), which is 18.7 times more than in Hawaii, the state with the fewest. [ Alaska has the highest personal spending on recreation services per capita, which is 2.7 times higher than in West Virginia, the state with the lowest. [ Top three fun states are Florida, California and Nevada. Georgia did not make the top 20. Bah. [ [ [ Eating Jelly Bellys in the dark is like playing candy Russian roulette. [ [ [ The Mega Pass gives Coweta County Fair attendees an Unlimited Ride Armband to be used once any day during the fair from September 12-22, 2024. Recipients who purchase a Mega Pass will receive both Gate Admission to the fair and an Unlimited Ride Armband for only $30. A savings of $15 on Fridays and Saturdays when considering Gate Admission is $10 and Ride Armbands are $35. A savings of $10 on Sundays through Thursdays when Gate Admission is $10 and Ride Armbands are $30. Mega Passes must be purchased BEFORE the fair. Online sales will end at midnight on the evening of Sept. 11. Check out our website: www.wintersmedia.net to purchase tickets [ [ [ All trophies are participation trophies. [ [ [ Piedmont Newnan Hospital would like to thank this year’s Junior Volunteers that just completed their summer program at the hospital.

This summer, Piedmont Newnan Hospital had 43 Junior Volunteer complete their summer program at the hospital. Students represented Georgia Cyber Academy, East Coweta High School, Newnan High School, Northgate High School, and Trinity Christian School. The program is not an internship, but rather a volunteer opportunity for rising 10th, 11th and 12th grade students from Coweta County, as well as the children and grandchildren of Piedmont Newnan employees and volunteers. [ [ [ As the years go by, owning a car with a manual transmission lowers the chance of it being stolen, since fewer new-generation thieves know how to drive it. [ [ [ Southern Arc Dance is featuring the works of Broderick Hauser through Oct. 12 at its studio, 40 Greenway Court in Newnan. Broderick’s art invites viewers to engage with it on a personal level, encouraging them to explore the emotions and thoughts his pieces evoke. His work can be further explored on Instagram at All_Things_Spoken. [ [ [ West Georgia Technical College announced the appointment of three new members to its board of directors. Angie Roberts (sales manager at Wayne Davis Concrete), Michael Robertson (CEO of Piedmont Newnan Hospital), and Terrence Youmans (Chief People Person at RaLin Construction) were sworn in at the August board meeting and officially begin service this month. [ [ [ Crunchy foods soften as they become stale, while soft foods become crunchy as they stale. [ [ [ Piedmont Newnan has received three achievement awards from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association for demonstrating commitment to following the latest research-based guidelines for the treatment of stroke and diabetes, ultimately leading to more lives saved, shorter recovery times and fewer hospital readmissions. Overall, Piedmont received 29 awards across its 25-hospital system. [ [ [ Time travelers would have to reevaluate what is considered “common sense” every time they travel. [ [ [

Coweta County Senior Services Scenes from ‘Swing Into The 50s’ Summer Luncheon, July 10-11 Coweta County loves their senior residents. And after 22 years of Senior Luncheons, it appears the county’s residents love Coweta right back. Since the first luncheon on December 12, 2002, Coweta County has hosted a total of 41 of these popular events and has served an estimated 20,500 residents.

In the beginning, the luncheons were one-day affairs as 450 to 500 people were served. But the popularity of the luncheons pushed the event to a two-day happening. COVID interrupted the social gatherings for three years before the events returned in May 2023. This year and in future years, Senior Services will host 3 luncheons annually.

4 the Arts Program

Keris Kares 4 the Arts donates art supplies to local elementary schools throughout Georgia during the school year. In September each elementary school in Coweta and Fayette counties gets a box. In addition, this program curates quarterly patient Art Parties at Children’s Hospital of Atlanta (CHOA). This initiative brightens the lives of patients and their families. Keris loved all things art because it allowed her to always express her creativity even while the cancer diminished her physical abilities.

AN OPEN LETTER OF HOPE

“You have cancer.”

This year, more than 2 million Americans will hear these three life-changing words. Yet, while a cancer diagnosis can change everything, so can …

Hope.

For someone with cancer, hope means getting the right diagnosis and treatment the first time. It means access to expert care and the nation’s leading specialists and researchers dedicated to finding cures. It means having compassionate teams who will hold your hand and never let go, providing assurance you have the best possible chance to survive and thrive.

City of Hope® has been a beacon of hope for cancer patients for generations. We develop new therapies that benefit millions of people each day and are home to one of the largest bone marrow transplantation and cell therapy programs in the nation. We are a National Cancer Institutedesignated comprehensive cancer center that began in Los Angeles more than 110 years ago and now have leading-edge treatment centers throughout Southern California, Arizona, Georgia and Chicago.

Here in Georgia, we’re delivering expert care at our cancer center in Newnan, one of the most advanced in the region. We also house Georgia’s only bone marrow transplantation program south of Interstate-20 — part of the one of the largest and most successful BMT programs in the nation.

We are on an extraordinary journey to make new research breakthroughs and lifesaving treatments readily accessible to every person affected by cancer.

Now, we are proud to share that City of Hope is ranked Top 5 in the nation for cancer care by U.S. News & World Report. Our expert care is available closer to home for individuals in Newnan, Coweta County and throughout the state of Georgia.

This recognition reflects our ability to deliver on our most important goal — saving lives.

It recognizes our deep commitment to our mission to make advanced cancer care available to more people. People across the country — including the 86 million living close to a City of Hope cancer center — now can have even more confidence that the very best cancer care is within their reach.

It will take all of us working together to reach our goal of eradicating cancer. At City of Hope, that includes the 200,000 donors who give generously each year to fuel our cancer research and discoveries. The 30,000 volunteers across our campuses. The 144,000 patients who walk through our doors fighting for their futures.

Above all, the more than 13,000 City of Hope employees, physicians, nurses and scientists who tirelessly drive us forward. Thank you for your hard work and excellence, and the sacrifices you all make for the patients we serve.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our communities and supporters who help make hope a reality for all touched by cancer.

With gratitude, Robert Stone Chief Executive Officer Helen and Morgan Chu Chief Executive Officer Distinguished Chair Jonathan E. Watkins, MPA, FACHE President of City of Hope Cancer Center Atlanta

hen a professional in any field finds a home at a company whose standards for high-quality work and overall values align with his or her own, it’s a perfect match.

Belize Ellison, a senior sustainability engineer at Yamaha, has found such a match.

Her role involves reducing Yamaha’s carbon footprint to enhance its business model.

“I want to help us be the best Yamaha we can today without compromising future Yamaha’s ability to continue to be the best,” she said. “That is my job.”

Ellison is thrilled to work for a company which values the same things she is personally passionate about when it comes to sustainability. As a relatively young engineer less than a decade into her career, she also appreciates being part of a brand recognized around the world for excellence – “the best of the best,” as she put it.

Real Estate Es tate

The Supply of Listings Goes Up, Way Up!

If you’ve been reading my articles recently, then you’re aware of the importance of the increasing number of homes for sale. Local Realtors have been waiting for the supply of listings to increase for years. This allows buyers more properties to choose from and should cool down prices, at least in theory.

The number of active listings in the Georgia Multiple Listing System (GAMLS) went up 25 percent between July 2023 and July 2024. In June 2024, the number of active listings was up 35 percent. The average number of days on the market for a listing in June and July 2024 increased by about 30 percent from June and July 2023.

More listings mean more choices for prospective home buyers. How did this increase in listings affect price? Well, the price didn’t change much at all. In fact, price was even year-over-year. Demand for housing in Coweta County has stayed strong despite higher interest rates, inflation, and an uncertain economy. The average sales price in Coweta County was $470,000 in July 2023 and 2024 per GAMLS.

FRANK BARRON Associate Broker 770-231-9535

There is still a need for more listings. This is a great opportunity for builders to add new construction to the market. Of the 607 single-family active listings in Coweta County at the time of this article, over 25 percent are new construction. While some builders may be cautious to overbuild in worry of another crash, Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR), doesn’t see things that way. Yun: “A crash happens with oversupply. It will not happen, because there isn’t enough inventory.”

FrankB@LindseysRealtors.com “Serving All of Newnan and Coweta County Since 1948”

Many real estate industry experts and analysts are predicting mortgage rates will decrease for the rest of year. I wrote an offer for a client with good credit putting twenty percent down who qualified for a 6.625 percent interest rate last week. Interest rates were over seven percent recently, so they have already started to trend down. With an increase in the supply of listings and an expected decrease in interest rates, we should see a strong finish in the real estate market for 2024. A decrease in interest rates should result in more buyers entering the market.

The Film Fix … Streaming Edition

with Jonathan W. Hickman

Capsule Reviews … New Rating System - A “Fix" is recommended with a rating between 6 and 10! a “No Fix” with ratings of 1 to 5 isn’t. http://dailyfilmfix.com/ Jonathan W. Hickman is an entertainment attorney, filmmaker, college professor, and novelist.

More about Jonathan can be found by visiting http://filmproductionlaw.com/

In Theaters: Alien: Romulus (now playing) – l Fix Rating 7/10 – Taking over from Ridley Scott, Fede Alvarez (see “Don’t Breathe”) makes alien xenomorphs scary again in “Alien: Romulus,” arguably the best “Alien” movie since 1986’s “Aliens.”

This entry is an interquel, a relatively new form of sequel. The story takes place between 1979’s “Alien” and its famous successor, “Aliens.” Space mining is still the universe’s most essential and most exploitative business, as we meet Rain (“Priscilla” and “Civil War” star Cailee Spainey) on what’s called a “shake and bake” mining colony known as Jackson’s Star.

Because the Weyland-Yutani corporation is evil, Rain is told she must work in the mines for another cycle of years. It’s evident that she’ll never leave the place except in a box. This crushing reality pushes Rain to reluctantly join her boyfriend and his team to rendezvous in the orbit of a decaying space station about to crash into the planet’s spinning rings.

We all know there are some creepy, crawly, crazy aliens on board with razor-sharp teeth and acid for blood. If the intrepid team of desperate youngsters can locate essential travel pods, getting off the floating death ship will be a miracle.

“Alien: Romulus” neatly keeps the survival story simple. It’s a haunted house movie in space, and the monsters are some of the most frightening ever put on film.

Streaming Selects: The Perfect Couple (September 5) – This murder mystery features a killer cast led by Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber as a fabulously wealthy couple embroiled in a criminal investigation in Nantucket Harbor. This ensemble includes Dakota Fanning, Eve Hewson, Jack Reynor, and Michael Beach. The series is directed by Susanne Bier, who struck Netflix gold with 2018’s “Bird Box” and directed episodes of the highly recommended show “The Night Manager” for AMC.

Thursday Night Football (September 12) – Watch the Buffalo Bills at the Miami Dolphins on Prime Video.

My Old Ass (September 13) – This comedic fantasy uses a mushroom trip to put young hipster Elliot (Maisy Stella) magically into contact with her 39-year-old self (played by Aubrey Plaza). Of course, it’s existential crisis time when the older Elliott starts advising her younger self. The trailers tease a funny and possibly touching romp that might approach a level of dramatic profundity.

How to Die Alone (season 1, September 13) – This series might make Saturday Night Live writer Natasha Rothwell a star. In the show, Rothwell plays Melissa, a down-on-her-luck woman who has never been in love and has few prospects. After a near-death experience, she decides to take charge of her life. Much of the action takes place at an airport where Melissa works. The trailers hint at a quirky, likable cast and a relatable light vibe.

Theaterical Teasers: Wolfs (September 20 limited theatrical release followed by streaming by September 27) – George Clooney and Brad Pitt headline this action comedy about two competing “fixers” who typically cover up high-profile crimes but become trapped in one. The trailers show Pitt and Clooney clowning around with lots of chatty, humorous banter. “Spider-Man: No Way Home” director Jon Watts helms and writes this amusing-looking nocturnal adventure.

The Penguin (September 8) — As the title criminal, an unrecognizable Colin Farrell reprises his performance from 2022’s “The Batman.” In this DC Comics adaptation, Farrell is Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin. The story picks up after the events in “The Batman,” which created a power vacuum in Gotham City’s organized crime network. Despite his disabilities, Cobblepot manages to rise.

But his ascent is threatened by other dangerous players, including insane Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti), the daughter of the former crime boss. The look and feel of this series appear to mirror the noir approach taken by the movie that inspired it.

I Saw the TV Glow (September 20) — Fix Rating 8/10 – This edgy and experimental film isn’t for everyone. However, for those viewers who may have connected with a much rougher produced movie like “The People’s Joker,” “I Saw the TV Glow” will enchant and provoke with its entertaining and thoughtful commentary on identity and finding one’s place in the world. The story concerns two young people who bond around a supernatural television series and float aimlessly following its cancellation.

Agatha All Along (September 17) – Kathryn Hahn returns to the role of the witch Agatha Harkness, who first made an appearance in the 2021 MCU series “WandaVision.” This nine-episode show follows Agatha after she’s been stripped of her powers. She recruits a coven to regain her witchy form and embarks on the Witches’ Road trials. Hahn is always worth watching, and this spooky series looks to be good fun if it is also a little wacky.

The Classic Market

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (September 6) — Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara are back in this long-gestating sequel to the 1988 hit movie. Tim Burton directs with “Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega in a critical role.

Speak No Evil (September 13) — James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, and Scoot McNairy lead this psychological horror centered on a family that discovers their hosts at a picturesque country estate hide a dark secret.

The Substance (September 20) — Audiences will finally get to see the film that had critics buzzing at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where it won Best Screenplay. This dark, satirical horror film features a fading celebrity named Elisabeth (Demi Moore), who employs the assistance of an illicit black market drug to restore her beauty temporarily. But bad things happen when the “substance” is not used as directed. Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid are also in the cast.

Transformers One (September 20) — After “Spider-Man” made the successful jump back to the animated realm with the Oscar-winning “Spider-Verse” films, it makes sense that another franchise that started animated before going for live-action would follow. “Transformers One” looks more conventional than its Marvel counterpart, with computer-animated characters matched with celebrity voice talents, including Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson. The story traces the origins of the rivalry between Optimist Prime and Megatron.

Megalopolis (September 27) — Last month, the “Megalopolis” distributor Lionsgate Films had to pull an updated trailer for the film that featured what was reported to be quotes from negative reviews of director Francis Ford Coppola’s classic films. The problem was that many of the quotes couldn’t be sourced to the critics who allegedly made them. This fiasco was part of an effort by Coppola and Lionsgate to blunt likely pans by critics of “Megalopolis.” This mistake might begin the final chapter in the iconic filmmaker’s career.

Coppola self-financed this attempted blockbuster, which he also wrote and directed. The trailers show that the science fiction epic concerns an architect (played by Adam Driver) who seeks to rebuild New York City after much of it is destroyed in a disaster. The film looks impressive, perhaps worth seeing for the visuals alone, but the massive, talented cast should also interest viewers. Coppola is going big and possibly going home on this one.

The Hunt for the Lost Treasure of Coweta County begins August 30

From Special Reports The Hunt for the Lost Treasure of Coweta County gives everyone the chance to find ‘county jewels.’

This new event, sponsored by the Moreland Cultural Arts Alliance (MCAA), invites treasure hunters of all ages to join this scavenger hunt and to discover the remnants and relics of the past hidden in ‘plain sight ’ throughout Coweta County. While hunters will find cultural riches throughout the search, one treasure hunter will win the Grand Prize at the end of the Hunt which is a $1,000 gift card. Other hunters will be awarded additional prizes as well from a treasure chest at the end of the Hunt.

The Hunt begins on Friday, August 30 – Labor Day Weekend – and it continues throughout the month of September. Treasure hunters will find new clues on the website of MCAA: morelandadventure.com and on its Facebook page: Moreland Cultural Arts Alliance. New clues will be released on Fridays – August 30, September 6, 13, and 20.

The prize winners will be announced on Saturday, September 28 at a finale event at the Hometown Heritage Museum: A Tribute to Lewis Grizzard (7 Main St. Moreland 30259) beginning at 11 a.m. Finale festivities include free admission, a chance to see new exhibits at the Moreland museums, light refreshment, and music. The names of all winners will be announced beginning at noon. Winners need not be present to win.

Treasure hunters will search throughout Coweta County for historic architecture, unique structures archeological sites, nostalgic and quirky places and items, many of which are found in plain sight everyday and we often pass by and miss. Hunters can search individually and in groups. The Hunt is open for all ages.

The Hunt for the Lost Treasure of Coweta County is inspired by the work of members of the former Moreland Community Historical Society members, Edward and Helen Wolak, who created a guide to the “Vanished Communities of Coweta County” documenting documenting places that were once active communities in Coweta

County but which now have entirely or mostly disappeared. The guide contains historic maps and loads of interesting details about lost places in Coweta. Treasure hunters may find this booklet helpful.

Beginning August 30, it is available to download on the MCAA website: morelandadventure.com.

Treasure hunters may use books and resources found online, in county libraries, historical societies and they may quiz local history buffs for help deciphering the clues.

Gear up for fun with you family and friends. Be sure to download the rules and guidelines for the Hunt for the Lost Treasures of Coweta County on the MCAA website: morelandadventure.com/events.

The Pearl of Africa … Uganda

By Kelly Preston, chairwoman of RACE For the Orphans

The sights.

The sounds.

The tastes.

The smells.

They are all different in Africa.

This past July, I had the opportunity to travel to Uganda for the fifth time. Located in eastern Africa, Uganda is known as “the Pearl of Africa” for its beauty, abundant wildlife and diversity. My first time in Uganda was for a medical mission trip while in nursing school at Samford University in 1996. To say my eyes were opened would be an understatement! The medical needs were astronomical, and my perspective on what truly matters in life was changed forever.

Fast forward 20 years and the opportunity to return to Uganda opened for me in July 2016. Friends of mine from First Baptist Church of Newnan had started a non-profit organization called Mission Mbale, and my 12-year-old son and I were part of the first group mission trip to the Namatala slum in Mbale, Uganda. We returned again the following July (2017), my husband and son went the next year (2018), and I returned again with my oldest son and daughter in 2019. As the entire world came to a halt in 2020 due to COVID, our annual trips to Uganda had to be suspended for everyone’s safety. Needless to say, we prayed for and deeply missed our Ugandan family. Finally, this summer, after five long years, we were able to return to Mbale and what a beautiful reunion it was!

Once called a “cesspool of humanity,” the Namatala slum is overflowing with people. Within a one-half mile radius of our partner church, 32,000+ people reside, half of which are children under the age of 14. This Ugandan culture is defined by children raising children. The abject poverty and diseases (malaria, typhoid, tuberculosis, and AIDS, to name a few) are big problems, and through the efforts of organizations like Mission Mbale, lives are being transformed for the good of humanity and to the glory of God. From my experiences in Uganda, my eyes and heart have been opened wider to the truth of John 3:16, “For God so loved the world…”. His love and power are living and active throughout all of His creation, and I am thankful these opportunities have enabled me to witness this firsthand.

While many short-term missions focus on building things, relationships are the heartbeat of Mission Mbale. By returning year-after-year to the same church and the same school in the same slum, deep relationships are cultivated. We worship, pray, serve and play together. We learn from each other. We shed tears saying “until I see you next time” when our departure day arrives. Although they are 8,000 miles from Newnan, the people at Ebenezer Baptist Church and the children of Ebenezer Christian School have become like family.

Speaking of family, my family has sponsored* one of the school children, Joshua, for many years. By giving a monthly donation towards Joshua’s education and physical needs, we are blessed to help change the trajectory of his life. We also exchange letters throughout the year, so each time we make the trip to Mbale, the reunion with our Ugandan son is a joyous celebration.

In the midst of all the joy, there is also deep sorrow. Each time I am in Uganda, I’m reminded of the fact that I live in a charming small town in America and my life is overflowing with blessings. I have clean drinking water, I eat three meals a day, I wear different clothes each day, and my family and I have access to quality education and health care. While I realize not everyone in our great country has all of this, the extreme poverty and physical needs that we’ve witnessed in Uganda defy description. *For more information about how you can sponsor a child in Mbale, Uganda, visit www.missionmbale.org.

NEWNAN

Why Prostate Exams What You Need to Know About Atrial Fibrillation are Critical Keeping up with the different health complications you need to monitor can be overwhelming, and when you have no external symptoms, it can be all too easy to put off even recommended testing. But, by the time you do realize something is definitely wrong, it can be too late for treatment to have an effective impact, particularly when regarding different types of cancer.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States, however, when prostate cancer is detected early, the odds of survival are high. This September, prostate cancer awareness month, Piedmont is here to help clarify who specifically needs to be tested and when, and to express the importance of receiving screening to stay ahead of prostate cancer.

As of today, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommends that men and those with a prostate between the ages of 55 and 69 receive screening annually. It’s important to have individual discussions with your doctor prior to beginning testing about the benefits and potential costs of testing, as well as risk factors that increase the likelihood of having prostate cancer—which include having a family history of prostate cancer and being African American. Those who are age 70 and above are not advised to receive annual screening.

The test itself is known as the PSA blood test, PSA being an acronym for prostate-specific antigen, a protein that physicians and urologists will measure the level of to screen for prostate cancer. While not a perfect test, as abnormal PSA levels can be indicative of a variety of health conditions in addition to prostate cancer, it has been highly effective in detecting prostate cancer.

“When diagnosed early on, prostate cancer is highly treatable,” said Patrick Railey, M.D., family medicine. “The cure rate is nearly 100% for these cases.”

Those within the affected age range, and especially those who fall within the high-risk groups, can prevent the cancer from becoming untreatable by taking action early on, but multiple options are available for those opting to be more cautious in steps taken.

In a situation where you’re diagnosed with prostate cancer, but want to be sure that you do have it before beginning treatment, you can speak with your doctor about active surveillance of the prostate, which would allow you to monitor the cancer and any changes before taking action.

It’s also never too early to start practicing good ways to stay on top of your prostate health: maintaining a healthy fluid intake, staying a healthy weight, and keeping your doctor informed when there are any changes in urination (needing to urinate more or less often than usual, the appearance of blood, or frequent urinary tract infections).

“Taking steps to manage your prostate health before you reach the age where prostate cancer becomes a possibility, keeps you in better standing to face whatever the outcome is,” adds Dr. Railey.

September marks National Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Awareness Month. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), AFib is an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), a condition where the heart beats in an irregular, often fast, way. When a heart is in AFib, it may not be pumping enough oxygen-rich blood out to the body, which can led to other heart-related complications.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) it is estimated that 12.1 million people in the U.S. will have AFib in 2030. While it is the most common type of arrhythmia, many people do not know they have AFib until they are at a routine doctor’s appointment or they are hospitalized for complications caused by AFib. Compared to people without, those with AFib, even without symptoms, have a five-timesgreater risk of stroke, three-times-greater risk of heart failure and two-times-greater risk of dementia.

Board-certified electrophysiologist and cardiologist Aaron Cole Richardson, D.O., who joined Piedmont Heart Institute last year, says it is important for local residents to increase their awareness of atrial fibrillation and other common conditions treated by electrophysiology, because without treatment, AFib can lead to blood clots, stroke, and heart failure.

Symptoms can include: • Rapid or irregular heartbeat or pulse • Skipped heartbeats • Chest palpitations (common) • Lightheadedness or fainting • Confusion • Extreme fatigue • Shortness of breath • Chest pain, or angina (seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room) Dr. Richardson cautions patients not to overlook the more subtle symptoms, such as fatigue, if they do not experience palpitations, as they may or may not be present.

“Different patients have different symptoms. Some describe AFib as feeling like skipped heartbeats; some as an erratic heartbeat, strong heart palpitations, or simply a rapid heartbeat; while for others it feels like a fluttering, butterflies or even a flopping fish in their chest; while some patients don’t have any symptoms at all,” says Dr. Richardson. “If you suspect you may have this condition or another cardiac issue, he recommends scheduling an appointment with a cardiologist as soon as possible.”

Dr. Richardson also recommends seeing your primary care physician (PCP) annually and to be aware of any factors that may increase your risk of AFib, including high blood pressure, a prior heart attack or heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, and prior heart surgery.

Controlling these risk factors may prevent AFib from developing.

In addition to regular check-ups with your PCP, Dr. Richardson recommends self-monitoring your heart at home, and checking it on a daily basis.

“If you notice your heartrate is greater than 110bpm at rest and/or irregular, it’s probably time to visit and talk with your doctor about it,” explains Dr. Richardson.

While AFib is serious, Dr. Richardson says that early detection and management are key.

“People can live long, healthy and active lives with AFib. Controlling your risk factors for heart disease, stroke and knowing what can trigger your AFib will help improve your long-term management of AFib. The most important thing you can do is work with your doctor or other health care professionals to make sure you’re doing all you can to prevent complications that could occur as a result of AFib,” says Dr. Richardson.

Dr. Richardson is board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology. He specializes in the treatment of heart rhythm disorders ranging from atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, heart block, bradycardia, atrial flutter, premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular tachycardia, with a special interest in the treatment and management of atrial fibrillation, leadless pacing, and cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Available at Piedmont Heart Institute in Newnan and Fayetteville, Dr. Richardson welcomes new patients and accepts most insurance plans. To schedule an appointment, visit piedmont.org.
