Whether you just welcomed a new furry friend into your home or you're teaching an old dog new tricks, you and your pet are sure to have a fun time! Spending time playing and training your pet makes for a great bonding experience! Don’t forget to reward them with some delicious dog treats when they successfully do a trick. My pups personal favorite treats are chicken, peanut butter, and carrots. We hope you and your pup have a great time learning the tricks on this list!

1. Speak Get your dog to bark naturally (try ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door). Once they bark, say ‘speak’ and reward them.

2. Shake Hold your hand out in front of your dog. Your dog may do some experimenting trying to figure out what you want. Once they put their paw in your hand, immediately praise and reward them.

3. Stay Have your dog sit and then tell them to stay. Hold your hand out with your palm toward their nose in the stop position. If they hold the position for a second or two, praise them and reward them with a treat. Keep repeating this and gradually have them stay longer.

Mason Short Offensive Tackle, Evans High School Football Team When Andrea Short held her son, Mason, for the first time, she had no idea that her 5-pound preemie son would one day be highly recruited by college football coaches for his skills as offensive tackle. Mason, now 280 pounds and 6 feet 6 inches tall, finds himself with three years left of high school and his choice of colleges. “I feel very lucky, and I’m humbled by all this,” says Mason. He attributes his success to many people in his life, including Evans Head Coach Barrett Davis, who brought over forty colleges to watch his players practice, and Ryan Bowers, who helps Mason with his training as well as serving as a life mentor.

When Help Can’t Wait Augusta, Georgia “We are the only organization in the area that I know of that provides help to nursing homes and residents of nursing homes,” says Abbie Baumann, When Help Can’t Wait board member. “We collect funds to supply nursing home residents with necessary items that most nursing homes don’t provide such as clothing, adult diapers, and toiletries.” As a non-profit organization, most of the funding comes through grants, fundraisers, and donations. When Help Can’t Wait also operates a Thrift Store located at 122 Old Evans Road – Suite B and proceeds from sales benefit the elderly.

Prepare for Babies The Metzler’s Rushton and Mandy Metzler, founders of Prepare For Babies, live in Evans with their two boys, Knox and Luke. “Prepare For Babies is a resource to help moms who are in a crisis pregnancy situation. Normally moms are given three choices; have an abortion, give their baby up for adoption, or they can have the baby and risk the baby being taken by the state. The Lord showed us the fourth option - that we could help these moms by providing care and housing for them and their newborn while they do what they need to do to get back on their feet,” says Mandy.

For more information about Prepare For Babies or to see how you can help, visit prepareforbabies.org.

Jason Stallings Trauma Nurse Lead, Doctors Hospital of Augusta Jason Stallings, Trauma Nurse Lead at Doctors Hospital of Augusta, has a joyful personality that can make a patient’s worst day a little brighter. “I try to treat everybody how I would want my family to be treated. In the first 10 minutes of their arrival to the hospital, we have to do so many things in such a short amount of time. We follow a certain set of guidelines, identify what’s wrong, figure out how to reverse it, treat it, and make it better as quickly as humanly possible,” says Jason.

DR. GEORGE W. WILLIAMS, JR., M.D. Mothers from all over the CSRA have trusted Dr. George W. Williams, Jr., M.D. to safely deliver their babies for years. He has worked at OBGYN Partners of Augusta since 1980 and over the course of his career, Dr. Williams delivered around 15,000 newborns. “I remember the first time I saw a delivery… I was just thrilled to be there,” he remembers. Dr. Williams grew up in Douglas, Georgia. “My father was a dentist for many years and I actually got accepted to Dental School,” shares Dr. Williams. After considering his options, he decided to become an OBGYN. “I thought a lot about it, it wasn’t a spontaneous decision. I liked surgery and I liked PEDs, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do that. Obstetrics initially was my big goal, bringing a new life in the world and being a part of that family, it’s exciting,” says Dr. Williams. Helping those in need is also important to Dr. Williams. He has taken multiple medical mission trips to different parts of the world including West Africa, Venezuela, Brazil, South America, Hungary, and Chili. Dr. Williams continues to serve and love his patients at OBGYN Partners of Augusta. The office is located at 1348 Walton Way. You can call OBGYN Partners of Augusta at 706-722-1381.
