by JENNY MURR

ast weekend, I was shocked to see a friend of mine working at the ticket counter of a local movie theater. Now there’s really nothing shocking about working at a movie theater, it was just shocking to see my friend working a second job. She seemed nonplussed but I was fighting mad to think that my friend, who works hard as a Houston County teacher, found it necessary to supplement her income. A few days later, I had lunch with another Houston County teacher. She nonchalantly explained how things were really tight for her and her family. I listened as she told of items she purchased for her classroom with her own paycheck and I wondered at the stupidity of our society. Do we not understand the importance of our teachers? They are our greatest national asset and we consistently take advantage of them. It just makes me want to SCREAM! John F. Kennedy said, “Modern cynics and skeptics … see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the mind of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of plumbing.” Our governor rides around in chauffeur driven chariot with every bell and whistle. Our Mayor drives a new car cour-

15 days

tesy of the tax payers. Our elected officials have spending allowances attached to their positions. Our celebrities are paid millions of dollars to entertain us. But our teachers are paid very little to shape the leaders of our future. WTF? Teaching is not an easy job and it takes a special, caring person to be a teacher. I’ve heard horror stories from teachers about their impudent pupils full of disrespect. One new teacher was aghast to find two sixth grades having sex on her desk the first day of school! Not only do they have the challenges of teaching little Johnny, but they also have to defend themselves to little Johnny’s parents. And for this, they get paid a pittance if you compare their pay to the actual amount of time they devote to their job. It’s time for us to take stock of our priorities. We need to value one of our most important commodities before we lose them to corporate America. I know, I know…you are but one person and can’t be expected to change reality. WRONG! You can make a difference. Take a minute to thank your child’s teacher for her/his dedication and hard work. Take a minute to help your teacher out in the class. Take a minute to discipline your child so he will control himself in the classroom.

Veggie Van Pilot Program Rolls Out in Central Georgia here’s a new type of ambulance responding to emergency calls in Middle Georgia. With poor nutrition a growing epidemic resulting in obesity, diabetes, and other health problems, Community Health Works has responded to the call by partnering with the Mercer School of Medicine and Mid Georgia Ambulance to deliver healthy foods to the community. “The concept of a Veggie Van is to deliver fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables to underserved communities and eliminate the transportation barriers for the consumer who doesn’t have access to these healthy foods,” said Greg Dent, president and CEO of Community Health Works. “It also benefits the producers – our local farmers – as it increases the demand for more fresh foods.” The Veggie Van is currently in its pilot stage as it makes initial debut at local churches in Macon and Warner Robins. The van is stocked with excess local produce from Macon’s Mulberry Street Market (every Wednesday) and Warner Robins’ International City Farmers’ Market (every Thursday). It is also equipped with a card reader to accept payment. Credit, debit and EBT cards will be accepted to purchase produce from the van. EBT card users will receive double their dollars thanks to a grant

from Wholesome Wave. If an EBT card user has $10 to spent, they will receive $20 worth of produce. Community Health Works introduced the card reader at the farmers’ markets this summer with much success and experienced an increase in sale of fresh produce to recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, i.e. SNAP (formerly Food Stamps), using their EBT cards. “Eventually the Veggie Van will expand its outreach to additional food deserts in our housing projects of Central Georgia,” said Dent. “During the non-growing season, we will utilize it for exercise outreach, bringing the same concept to the areas but targeting fitness opportunities.” The Veggie Van itself is a retired ambulance donated by Mid Georgia Ambulance. “When we learned of the need for a vehicle and the potential for a retired ambulance to fill this need, we knew we would be able to help out and were excited about the opportunity to contribute,” said Amy AbelKiker, Director of Public Relations, Mid Georgia Ambulance. The interior of the ambulance was transformed to accommodate the project. In addition to a new exterior design, the ambulance is retro-fitted to store produce. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), areas that

“Since the journey to health is a marathon, not a sprint, lasting partnerships are vital to promoting health among all of the members of the community with potential risk for chronic disease. As a board member of Digging Roots Educational Farm and project director for the STOP diabetes program, I believe the STOP diabetes program's partnership with the Community Health Works' Veggie Van puts wheels on the local food movement in a creative and exciting way," - Dr. Joy Goens Thomas, Project Director, STOP Diabetes

lack easy access to affordable fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk, and other foods that make up the full range of a healthy diet are called food deserts. These deserts are usually located in low-income neighborhoods that lack grocery stores. USDA statistics show that there is a food desert in Houston County, located east of S. Pleasant Hill Road and spills on to RAFB; there are two food deserts in Bibb County: Millerfield Road area and between

INTERNATIONAL CITY FARMERS MARKET PROMOTES ‘BUY LOCAL, EAT LOCAL’ n conjunction with “going green”, a new trend has emerged around the nation and has even taken root in Warner Robins—Buy Local, Eat Local—and the International City Farmers Market making this possible for two years. Each Thursday, growers from around the area come to sell their produce and homemade wares on the corner of Watson Blvd. and Davis Dr. from 2 – 6 p.m. Fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade bread, flowering plants, jams and jellies are just a few of the items to be found at the market. “Know your farmer, know your food,” said Volunteer Market Organizer Jodi Daley, who encourages consumers to “keep the money spent on produce in the local economy. “The ICFM can be an outlet for the new urban growers to sell their produce to the community,” Daley said. And the market isn’t the only vision that Daley has for the community. “We are supporting three new community gardens in Houston County,” she said. “NAMI Interactive Gardens is building demonstration gardens to teach folks how to grow their own veggies. Field of Dreams is on the way; we are just about done building all the raised beds. The Warner Robins Housing Authority is building a garden for its senior residents.” ICFM is also working in conjunction with Community Health Works who is providing the tools to accept the EBT (SNAP), credit cards and debit cards at the market. The SNAP program allows food stamp

recipients to receive double value when shopping at the market. Shoppers can buy $20 produce for just $10. Other initiatives in the works focus on educating the public on growing and preparing food, supporting businesses who sell GA Made, GA Grown products, and enhancing a community spirit. On September 24, at 5:30 p.m., ICFM is hosting their second “Farm 2 Table” dinner party, serving locally grown food and prepared by a local chef. The event takes place at the Perfect Pear in Perry. Tickets are $75 per person or $145 per couple. To make reservations or get more information about the International City Farmers Market, call Jodi Daley at 478-225-7626. JENNY MURR

I-75 and I-475 surrounding the Macon Mall. “Our Paramedics and EMTs encounter patients daily, who are suffering from conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. We know that in order to reduce the number of patients in the region suffering from these conditions, we need to promote health and nutrition education. The Veggie Van will serve as a great resource for the community, not only by making healthy foods more accessible, but also by providing an educational tool,” said AbelKiker. The program targets diabetic patients. “The Mercer University STOP (Skills Training on Preventing) diabetes program is a five year translational research project funded by the National Institutes of Health. The program was developed in 2008 through a partnership with faith community leaders and local family physicians, Drs. John Boltri, Monique Davis-Smith, and Paul Seale, as a response to the increasing prevelance of Type II diabetes in the African American population in Macon,” said Dr. Joy Goens Thomas, Project Director, STOP Diabetes, Mercer University Departement of Family MedicineCenter for Educational Research. “Currently in its third of 3 program implementation years, the team has worked within 32 churches and screened over 4000 church members. The aim of the STOP diabetes program is to identify those with increased risk for diabetes and share with them the good news that type II diabetes can be prevented.” International City Farmers’ Market Coordinator Jodi Daley looks forward to working with Community Health Works, “I think the Veggie Van is a great idea, especially if the van goes to neighborhoods that do not have close access to fresh whole foods.” “We are hopeful that the Veggie Van program will prove successful and that it will become a well-known staple of the community,” said Abel-Kiker. “Hopefully, this program will be so successful that it is replicated in other communities, making fresh fruits and veggies more readily available to everyone and therefore reducing the frequency of stroke and heart disease.” For more information about Community Health Works, visit their website at www.chwg.org JENNY MURR 11thHourOnline.com 5

LOCAL ARTISTS COLLABORATE ON PIECE FOR CITY FEST

immy Maine strode into Ocmulgee Arts, where I work, introduced himself and said,“have a seat, I will give you a show.” With that he produced these fantastic framed quilt pieces. They were carefully chosen small pieces of an overall quilt pattern gleaned from severely damaged quilts, then treated so they looked like textured leather, and enhanced with paint or metallic gold. “The creativity and labor of the original quilter has inspired me to preserve these pieces, but by taking them one step further I have made them my own. I have respect for history without being encumbered by it.” They were unlike anything else I have seen. Those attending the International City Fall Festival will have an opportunity to own one of theses very special pieces. Jimmy Maine and fellow artist Leslie HoopsWallace are team working. Jimmy will produce the quilt and Leslie will paint an image on that background. In keeping with the festival’s theme “Remembering the Past, Celebrating Tomorrow,” the quilt represents the past while Leslie’s painting will represent tomorrow. I see their cooperation as representative of the teamwork seen all over the Warner Robins Community, evident in the way artists support each others careers, businesses offering services to accommodate customers, or citizens planning a festival. Originally from Bonaire, Jimmy Maine attended high school in Warner Robins. He later graduated from the University of Georgia with a major in Art Education and a minor in Textile Design. Serious about teaching, Jimmy had an opportunity to teach art in a Title Three Enrichment program sponsored by the Federal government. Eventually, Jimmy found his way to Northside High School where he taught art for twenty years until a brain hemorrhage caused his early retirement.” This former Teacher of the Year had quickly discovered that he was teaching life skills as well as art. Inspired by his first teacher, Mrs. Lewis, he taught ,“the eyes look and the mind sees…observation must be coupled with insight and awareness.” The ability to analyze is valuable to all of us, not just the artist. While Jimmy was aware he was nurturing art talent ( David Collins, the subject of this publication’s last art column was a former student), he also knew some students would never be professional artists. His goal was to give them appreciation of the arts as well as some creative

skills to enrich their lives. For instance, he taught all of his students to crochet and was tickled when one young lady returned to class with her own crochet book, newly purchased by her mother. She announced, “I now know what to do when I don’t know what to do.” Jimmy and his wife Peggy, also an artist, regularly hosted foreign exchange students. He said, ”I found this most enlightening because when trying to answer their many questions as honestly as possible, I was forced to examine my own perceptions and opinions. So we all learned about our culture and ourselves.” The Maines have visited those exchange students in their native countries and remain close friends. So what does a dedicated teacher do after teaching? Jimmy considered himself very fortunate when a colleague, Imogene Young introduced him to a program called Artists With Disabilities created by Marcel Watkins. This exposed him to fine artists, many who were working against worse handicaps than Jimmy’s. He realized. “It is just a little brain damage, I can do this.” So he became a producing artist. After so many years focusing on teaching, he could communicate with a different audience through his own art. Want to see what this deep thinking artist is all about? Currently, Jimmy and wife Peggy both have works on display at the Fort Valley State University Fine Arts Gallery and Studio. These pieces are very different from the textile pieces. The couple entrenched themselves in newscasts and then expressed their reactions in explosive non-objective pieces, often in bright colors and very intense. LOU WARREN

MOPS - A HOUSEHOLD STAPLE FOR MIDDLE GEORGIA MOMS

riendship, creativity, and community drive MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) and the members of the Warner Robins MOPS offer an informal way to bridge the gap between mothers of all walks of life. In Houston County, the MOPS group meets at Southside Baptist Church. Originally sponsored by Robin Walls of Southside seven years ago, they now number around 65 women and more than half of the membership is military. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In spite of the diversity in backgrounds and experiences, the women in our MOPS group come together in a common purpose and create some of the most important friendships in their lives,â&#x20AC;? said Southside MOPS coordinator, Amanda Lovett. The experience of MOPS offers continuity to women who find themselves in the midst of new situations and environments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many different churches are represented at our MOPS. We have members from Sacred Heart, and some of the newer places represented in the community as well.â&#x20AC;? MOPS gives these women an opportunity to come together twice monthly in a safe place where they can leave the ever pressing duties of mothering aside for a couple of hours while their children are watched over by paid employees and volunteers. And MOPS offers its members a wide variety of resources. From its MomSense magazine to MOPS radio, the services are accessible in a variety of ways. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about community and fellowship. Many women in the Warner Robins MOPS group have in-home businesses that supplement their incomes. Some of the members sell Scentsy and Pampered Chef products and one of the members of the leadership team, Natalie Herr, maintains a blog which can be found at OvenLove.blogspot.com. One meeting per month is dedicated to crafts such as scrapbooking and handpainting ceramics. These activities can help stimulate creativity that may feel dormant in the midst of the workaday life of parenting young children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These

experiences relieve the isolation and loneliness that can sometimes accompany the stay-at-home experience and help mothers realize that they are not alone in this. That other moms are dealing with these same issues,â&#x20AC;? said Lovett. On top of the social benefits, the leadership roles that are available to Christian women provide much needed resume builders in the lull between giving birth and re-entering the workplace. In a difficult economy, it is doubly difficult for a woman who has been out of the workforce caring for her children during the years before they enter school. MOPS was voted best Christian workplace of 2011 and members who meet the mission criteria of MOPS International can volunteer in several capacities that keep their resume active and growing. MOPS volunteers are currently registering consigners for their Fall Consignment sale to be held at the Southside Baptist Kathleen campus across from the Frito Lay factory on highway 247, Sept 23-24.This is one of only two fundraisers held annually. Membership can be purchased per meeting, seasonally, or annually and include two meeting per month, in addition to a once monthly Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Night Out, operating within a nine month year. MOPS is a perfect example of how a simple idea can take on a life of its own. Originally the brainchild of eight women who began a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christian fellowship in Wheat Ridge, Colorado in 1973, it has grown into an international network of mothers and Christian leadership ministries. Groups range in size from 10-200 and cater to women from all backgrounds; teen mothers, military, non-English speaking, all over the world. It is an amazing story of the friendships and good fortunes that seem to follow this group wherever you happen to find it.

TECHNICAL COLLEGE TRAINS STUDENTS FOR JOBS IN DUBLIN AND RAFB

ROBINS FEDERAL CREDIT UNION SWAG PATROL Jimmy Hinks, Bonaire, could only afford to put a couple of gallons of gas in his van on Sept. 2. But the Swag Patrol saved the day when they ponied up $65 to fill his tank. Diners at the Rookery received gifts and prizes from the Swag Patrol, but it was student Shelby Anthony who walked away with $50.00 Macon when she was the first person to show her Robins Federal debit or credit card.

In a previous article, improving energy efficiency was identified as a source of jobs using a “picks and shovels” approach. As a refresher, this phrase comes from Ross Harding, CEO, Energy Launch Partners, and means jobs in all the areas needed to develop and achieve improved energy efficiency – the manufacturing, the transportation, the services, the technology and engineering, etc. Nearby examples of “picks and shovels” are in Americus, Dublin, Brunswick and Savannah. Solar is an expanding renewable energy area in Georgia and the Southeast. Qualified people and production of systems and components are two “picks and shovels” in this business. In August, South Georgia Technical College in Americus signed an agreement with MAGE Solar Academy, Dublin, to start offering training in designing, installing, and maintaining photovoltaic solar systems (PV) for residential, commercial, and agricultural applications. This training will equip graduates with the knowledge to enter the solar energy industry both locally and throughout the Southeast region. In addition, completion of the training will also allow students to earn credits towards certification by a national organization, the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). What about Dublin? MAGE Solar has a production facility there. A growing business for Georgia is the production and export of wood pellets and chips to customers in Europe. Local companies, Fram Renewables and Telfair Forest Products are but two examples, are purchasing wood from Georgia landowners for production of wood chips and pellet. These are then exported through the ports of Brunswick and Savannah. To handle this export business, jobs are created throughout the supply chain -- suppliers of equipment to the forest products industry, harvesting and transportation of wood, processing of the wood into pellets, expansion of port facilities. The above are two energy related instances of the “picks and shovels” approach locally. Similar opportunities exist in other areas as well – the supply chains supporting Robins AFB especially. This is a good news story -- opportunities abound. Let’s go. We want to hear what your questions, concerns, and ideas are that impact Houston County.

he Museum of Aviation is slated to receive an RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aircraft that has flown more than 7,000 combat hours in the war on terrorism - more than any other Global Hawk. The aircraft, #2011, recently retired from active Air Force operational use and is coming to the museum for preservation and display. The Museum of Aviation is only the second museum in the Air Force to obtain a Global Hawk – the first being the National Museum of U.S. Air Force in Dayton Ohio. It will be placed in an elevated display in the Century of Flight Hangar. The Command & Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Division (C2ISR) of the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center's Aerospace Sustainment Directorate performs program management for the RQ-4 Global Hawk and other unmanned aircraft systems. ISR functions are principal elements of the

United States' defense capabilities. The RQ-4 Global Hawk is a high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft system with an integrated sensor suite that provides intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, or ISR, capability worldwide. Global Hawk's mission is to provide a broad spectrum of ISR collection capability to support joint combatant forces in worldwide peacetime, contingency and wartime operations. While still a developmental system, the Global Hawk deployed operationally to support the global war on terrorism in November 2001. The Global Hawk UAS provides near-continuous all-weather, day/night, wide area surveillance and will eventually replace the U-2. In the RQ-4 name, the "R" is the Department of Defense designation for reconnaissance and "Q" means unmanned aircraft system. The "4" refers to the series of purposebuilt remotely piloted aircraft systems. 11thHourOnline.com 13

New Music Venue to Open in Warner Robins What kind of music will you feature? Most genres

“It’s going to be like Masquerade’s smaller cousin,” said Bob Johnson, proprietor of Rock Bottom and founder of Insurrection Sound. “Local musicians have been asking for this a long time and now we are going to give it to them.” The venue is located at 1619 Moody Rd, across from Wellston Pawn Shop, and will be open WednesdaySaturday and one Sunday per month. “It is a new bandcentric venue,” said Operations Manager Lance Rodriguez (138 Records), “with Acoustic Wednesdays; Random Thursdays; LIVE! Fridays and Saturdays; and an all ages show one Sunday a month.” Co-owner Bob Johnson answers a few questions about the new venue.

Besides the bands...what can people expect at your grand opening weekend? Expect welcoming staff, band swag and memorabilia, pool tables and bring your suggestions. We’re counting on the local music community to tell us what they want and we will accommodate.

Who is your target audience? Music lovers will love it because its sole purpose is for live music. They will also really dig it because we will have new bands every night we’re open. Bands will benefit from this because it's designed, owned, operated by musicians FOR musicians period.

will be covered. On Wednesdays we’re acoustic based, some open mic jam sessions and such. Thursdays will be pretty eclectic but fundamentally electronic based including hip hop, real dj's industrial. Friday and Saturday we will have Metal, punk, bluegrass, 80s cover bands, R&B, whatever bands people want to see, I will try to provide.

What do you have in store for the monthly Sunday performances? Bob Johnson & Lance Rodriguez get the venue ready for their grand opening.

Why open a venue now? Middle Georgia has amazing talent. There are several really great places for bands to play out, but most are sports bars, restaurants or laid back chill spots that have been cool enough to let local bands work a little. But I haven't been able to find one that's sole purpose is live music.

Will you be hosting only local bands? No, the full intent is to host regional and national acts on a regular basis. When a good headliner is booked, u cam bet they will be paired with a great local.

All ages shows. There are even fewer places for people under 18 to see bands play..let alone play at. There are some of the most incredible underage musicians around here. They deserve a place to play and, hopefully, launch a career.

How can bands get booked? They can contact me or Lance Rodriguez. Hit us up on line, send us a disc or a link to something we can hear, or better yet come out and support a band and drop something with us! Checkout insurrectionsound.com. I'll have calendar info on there and links, contacts etc. For more information email: Rockbottom@insurrectionsound.com
