SOUP, BREAD & BROWNIES More than any other time of year, I crave soup to warm my family from the inside out.

Soup is nutritious, wholesome, and even with a few convenience products, it’s still a budgetfriendly meal ideal for the after-Christmas calm of January. It can be an all-day affair, beginning with a pot of stock bubbling on the back burner, or it can come together quickly, like this bean soup with bacon, made with canned beans and chicken broth.

Bread is a natural partner of soup. A skillet sizzling with buttermilk cornbread is a Southern standard, but if you crave something different, try this buttery mini-muffin recipe that requires just three ingredients. Finish off your meal with these fudgy homemade brownies.

Bean Soup with Bacon You may substitute ½ cup diced ham or Kielbasa for the bacon. ! 1 tablespoon olive oil ! 3 slices bacon, diced into ½ inch pieces ! 1 onion, chopped into ¼ inch dice ! 2 carrots, chopped into ½ inch dice ! 2 stalks celery, chopped into ½ inch dice ! 1 garlic clove, minced ! 1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth ! 3 cans navy beans, undrained ! 1 bay leaf ! Salt and pepper to taste 1. Place a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat and pour in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Fry bacon until crisp, then drain on paper towels. You may want to pour off excess fat at this point – you need just enough to sauté the vegetables. Cook the onion, carrots and celery until softened. Stir in garlic.

2. Add chicken broth, beans and bay leaf and simmer for 15 minutes, or until ready to serve. If soup is too thick, add water. Remove bay leaf before serving.

Buttery Mini-Muffins ! 1 cup self-rising flour ! ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled ! ½ cup sour cream 1. Preheat oven to 350. In a small bowl, combine flour, butter and sour cream.

2. Coat muffin cups with cooking spray. Fill each with a spoonful of batter.

Please tell our advertisers you saw them in CHNV!

3. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and puffy. Serve warm beside a bowl of soup.

Yield: 20 mini-muffins

Homemade Brownies If you can melt butter and crack eggs, you can make brownies from scratch. These dense, fudgy delights use cocoa, something I always have in my pantry. ! 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted ! 2 cups granulated sugar ! 4 large eggs ! 1 teaspoon vanilla ! 2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour ! 3/4 cup cocoa ! 1/2 tsp. baking powder ! 1/2 teaspoon salt

with just a few moist clumps clinging to it, about 40 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a rack.

4. Cut into squares. Keep the brownies at room temperature, placed in a covered container.

Lucy Mercer writes and cooks from her Douglas County kitchen. Look for her blog, A Cook and Her Books (www.acookandherbooks.blogspot.com). Check out the fan page for A Cook and Her Books on Facebook.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch-square metal baking pan.

2. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Off the heat, stir in sugar, followed by the eggs and vanilla. Slowly stir in the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

3. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake until a toothpick or a skewer inserted into the center of the brownies comes out

By Chadd Franklin Hello Gaming Community! Welcome to my Game of the Year Review for 2010. To be a game of the year, the game has to have a score of 5 out of 5. Before I get to the games I want to mention one that deserves to be here, but I was unable to obtain a copy in time for the December publishing: Call of Duty Black Ops. It is a definite 5 out of 5 and is a game that should be in your collection. Now, onto the nominees for Chadd Franklin’s 2010 Game of the Year (in no particular order): 1. Super Street Fighter 4 (PS3, Xbox 360) 2. Modnation Racers (PS3) 3. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) 4. Transformers War for Cybertron (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii) 5. Halo Reach (Xbox 360) 6. Dragonball Raging Blast 2 (PS3, Xbox360) 7. Call of Duty Black Ops (PS, Xbox 360) The placings are: 7th place is Dragonball Raging Blast 2 because I am a fan and it’s my list 6th place is Modnation Racers. While this game is fun and offers a plethora of options of making tracks and karts, sometimes the online can be slow or there are not enough people participating.

5th place is Transformers War for Cybertron. Robots in disguise and using the unreal engine to shoot each other - enough said.

4th place is Super Mario Galaxy 2.

3rd place is Call of Duty Black Ops. While this game is awesome, I have one complaint about it: it took me a while to get in a match with a friend.

And now for the toughest call I have ever made: which game will get the 2010 Game of the Year? Halo Reach or Super Street Fighter 4. Both are excellent games and I have spent hours looking for a flaw in either of them (more on that in a minute). The winner of the 2010 GAME OF THE YEAR is Halo Reach!

Super Street Fighter 4 got 2nd only because I had more connection losses with it, though I will say that I only had two connection losses.

CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS

Arts & Entertainment

Photography has entered a whole new world, with remarkable changes in technology in just a few short years. One thing has not changed, however; the camera – not the computer – is still the most important tool of a good photographer.

With software, you can achieve amazing things. You can do everything from tweaking the contrast in an image to moving objects around and making your photo look like it was a painting. But there are also plenty of things – essential things – that you can’t do. You can’t make an out-of-focus subject in focus. You can’t un-blur a moving subject that was blurred because the photographer used the wrong shutter speed.

Technical issues aside, there is also the great sense of honest satisfaction a photographer feels when they are able to capture a perfect image ‘in camera’.

I am not suggesting software has no place in photography. In fact, even devoted digital fans recognize that most images need a little tweaking of saturation and contrast to bring them up to print quality.

The point is, software is no substitute for camera skills. It is great, perhaps even essential, to know how to work on a photo after the event.

But that cannot take the place of learning how to use a camera, how to appreciate light and how to compose a great image.

Beginners beware; there are people out there who will hold you back by telling you that notions of aperture, shutter speed and ISO are outdated relics of film photography. In fact, by learning these photography essentials, you will develop skills that will reduce your reliance on computers to fix your mistakes. Happy Clicking! Judith Ann

A.D. West Dance Company “Stands” Out

A.D. West Dance Company is going into their next dance season highly motivated from their enlightening experience at Nationals in Orlando, Florida in June. They not only received an invitation to the Grand National Finals, but they also placed third for the “Caliente Y Fresco” Production (which included all 38 Competition Team Members for 2009-2010 - Jr. Mini, Mini, Junior and Senior levels) and fourth place for “Transformer” (Hip-Hop routine with combined Junior and Senior Competition Team Members).

They competed 17 regional dance routines during the competition season in the category of Lyrical, Tap, Jazz, Character and Hip-hop, which received multiple top honors such as HiPlatinum, Platinum, Hi-Gold and Gold Awards along with Choreography Awards (“Stand” Production by Tonya McClure and “Saved” by Angie West). They even received the Studio “TAGdance” award. They took 12 routines to the national competition and 11 received Top Ten High score awards. There were 30 dance studios represented and over 1,000 entries competing. It was an uplifting way to end the year for their graduating seniors Samelia Brooks, Odesa Richards, Elisabeth Zachery and Chassidy Smith.

Pictured in their photograph is the 2010-2011 Competition Team with new and returning members: Jr. Mini Company – Ajana Davis, Kaitlyn Montgomery, Kelbi Sceau, Michaela Thomas, Payton Lucineo, Kelsea Camp, Taryn Nelson, Kionee Fuller, Kaelyn Maddox and Zoe Muhammad; Mini Company – Kyanna Fletcher, La’Keithia King, Raven Powell, Yakia Pettis, Jayla Pullen, Wisdom Henry and Shanise Ervin; Junior Company – Aja Bignon, Chandler West, Canaan Saffo, Chloe’ Jenkins, Tamiea Anderson, Jermiya Jackson, Niyah Nelson, Sakinah Bennett, Cejoi Carter, Natalie Townsend, Kyla Chang, Kelsie Owens, Jordan Brooks and Alexis Leake and Senior Company - Tyra Williams, Brianne Powell, Shanice Jackson, Lashondra Robinson-Spears, Kieana Kerns, Chandler Vass, Lexus Davis and Akiliah Richards.

“We ask the community to keep us in prayer as we continue to strive to move our program to the next level and make Douglas County proud,” says owner, Angie West.

The dance studio is located at 5939 Stewart Parkway in Douglasville in the Douglas Town Center Shopping Plaza, across the street from the Post Office. You may call 770-577WEST for more information.

THOUGHTS FROM THE MAYOR Each month Douglasville’s Mayor, Mickey Thompson writes a column about a subject which is of interest to many residents of Douglasville, and Douglas County.

The city of Douglasville’s website is: www.ci.douglasville. ga.us. Mayor’s Email: thompsonm@ci.douglasville. ga.us As Mayor, I want to invite each of you to visit the City’s new community center. I am delighted to have this addition to our City Parks and Recreation Department ready to serve our community. Members of the City Council and our parks and recreation staff join me in announcing the opening of this new building, which contains activity and meeting rooms of several sizes within this structure of some 16,000 square feet.

OPEN HOUSE IN JANUARY. An open house will be held from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 11. Also, special tours will be provided from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 16, for citizens whose schedules prevent them from visiting the new Hunter Park Community Center on the afternoon of Tuesday, January 11.

Members of the City Council, myself, Parks and Recreation Director Bennett Oliver, and others will have a ribbon cutting and grand opening program at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, January 11. Then, we will have an open house with tours throughout that afternoon and early evening.

SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES. Mr. Oliver and his staff have been working on a schedule of activities for the first quarter of 2011, and I invite you to contact the Parks and Recreation Department to obtain information. An-

nouncements will be made on the City of Douglasville’s government access channel: CITI TV, which is Comcast digital channel 22.

The City Parks and Recreation Department’s main telephone number at Hunter Park is 770-920-3007, the email address is oliverb@ci.douglasville. ga.us, and the web site is www.eteamz.com/douglasvillerec/.

RENTAL OF FACILITIES. If you are interested in reserving space in the new Hunter Park Community Center for a meeting, a party, or some other event, please contact Jennifer Bean, at 678-715-6094, or beanj@ ci.douglasville.ga.us.

HUNTER PARK RENOVATION/RECONSTRUCTION.When you visit the new community center, you can look across the lake and see that the rest of Hunter Park still is being renovated/reconstructed. While progress is being made, a lot of work remains. When that part of Hunter Park has been completed, we’ll have: a new complex of six ballfields, with one being a special needs field; a new seven-court tennis complex; new parking areas; new playgrounds; new rest room facilities; and five renovated ballfields. In addition to the improvements you see above ground, the City is installing improved drainage and irrigation facilities, new and improved Musco lighting for the ballfields, and updated scoreboards.

All of these improvements -- as well as construction of the new Hunter Park Community Center -- is being done by the City of Douglasville, primarily using the City government’s funds from the 2002 SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) program. The overall cost of improvements in Hunter Park with 2002 SPLOST funds totals some $7.4 million; and, in

government addition, the City Council has allocated $625,000 from the general fund.

One other attraction in Hunter Park needs to be mentioned, and I am pleased to let everyone know the train will become operational again sometime in 2011. The train has been rebuilt, and I believe everyone will be excited to see, hear, and enjoy the return of this historic feature to Hunter Park.

I should point out the September 2009 heavy rains and flooding damaged Hunter Park in several ways. The City continues to work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) to determine the need for and then to make repairs on the dam, as well as to repair sub-surface drainage problems beneath the “lower ballfields.” The dam must be repaired before the section of train tracks located on top of the dam can be re-installed.

COMPLETION OF BALLFIELDS. I know many people want to know when the ballfields will be ready for play. Like you, I want our children, youth, and adults to be able to start using these new ballfields as soon as possible.

However, we do not want to use them prematurely, because the grass could be damaged significantly by the ball players.

For information on when the ballfields will be ready for use, check the web site and watch CITI TV. Also, the City Parks and Recreation staff will make sure league officials, including the coaches, are kept informed.

PARKS AND RECREATION IN THE CITY. Bennett Oliver is director of the City Parks and Recreation Department. Staff members at Hunter Park include Sheila Mason, Mieko Bercich and Bobby Willingham.

The center manager at Davis Park is Charles Thomas. Staff members at Davis Park include Joe McDonald, Willie Daniels, Joe Cowins and Amy McClusky. The main telephone there is (770) 920-3009. The City of Douglasville contracts for the operation of the West Pines Golf Club. Mike Schlueter is the director of golf for West Pines. The telephone number is (678)

391-1600, email address is mike.schlueter@hmsgolf.com, and the web site is www.westpinesgc.com. Other facilities are Fowler Field Park, Mill Village Park, Keith Park, and Worthan Park.

Let me note the City of Douglasville leases several acres of Hunter Park to the Douglas County Boys and Girls Club. With the assistance of a Community Development Block Grant from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs -- which the City of Douglasville successfully applied for -- a Teen Center is being constructed as an addition to the current facility. This new Teen Center will open during 2011.

CITY COUNCIL SUPPORT. While all members of the City Council have been supportive of efforts to upgrade our parks and recreation facilities, I especially do want to thank Councilman Roy Mims. He is chairman of the City Council Parks and Recreation Committee, as well as the City Council Finance Committee.

CLOSING COMMENTS. Hunter Park has been a very popular place for many years. You could say those who have participated in the various activities in Hunter Park over the years – including those held outside and in the Ike Owings Community Center -- literally have worn out this park. And certainly we are delighted so many people have visited and have used Hunter Park so much of the time.

Certainly, I am pleased to announce the opening of this first phase of the new Hunter Park. The community center will open its doors for meetings and various activities the week before the grand opening, namely on Monday, January 3, 2011. Later in the year, the other parts of Hunter Park will reopen: ballfields, tennis courts, the train, the playgrounds, the walking track, and expanded parking areas. Thank you for the opportunity to share this information with you. I hope you have a wonderful 2011. I know 2011 will be a great year in Robert G. Hunter Memorial Park.

The Family ConneCTion A Foundation for the New Year

By Kerry Patuka. She is a degreed and certified educator, licensed minister and founder of Drive 5 Ministries, a consulting, speaking and training ministry for churches and children’s ministry. Contact her at kerrydrive5@yahoo.com Many of us start the year out with a New Year’s Resolution. Sometimes we share these with others; sometimes it’s just a quiet internal desire.

Either way, I think we have all experienced that resolution that starts out great and then flops. Of course, some of us have experienced that resolution that never really gets going in the first place. I think if we’re honest about it, many times the year ends and nothing has changed. Is it just some silly, human trait that causes us to want a fresh start, a better year ahead or a new thing in our lives?

No, it’s not. God cares about us and wants the best for us. In fact, he has quite a few things to say on this topic in the Bible. Yes, the God of the entire universe cares about us and here are a few scripture verses to encourage us as we start a new year.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT) “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Job 8:7 (CEV) Your future will be brighter by far than your past.

Deuteronomy 11:12 (NIV) It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it, from the beginning of the year to its end.

Revelation 21:4–6 (NIV) And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”

Ezekiel 36:25-27 (NLT) And I will give you a new heart, with new and right desires and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new, obedient heart.

Philippians 3:13-14 (CEV) My friends, I don’t feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead. I run toward the goal, so that I can win the prize of being called to heaven.

This is the prize that God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done.

1 Peter 1:3 (MSG) What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now!

As you begin a new year, God is there with you. No matter where you are or what you are going through, use Scripture as a foundation for your New Year’s Resolution. Select a few verses to memorize or write one or two down and display them where you will see them throughout the day. Encourage your kids to do the same thing too. As you go through the year, search the Bible and find Scripture that will encourage you and guide you to live the life that God desires for you to live.

Jamaica - Island Paradise for Adult Travelers Submitted by Tracey Snipes, owner, Travel Escapes, a full service travel agency. 4090 Bankhead Highway, Lithia Springs, 770-732-9434, www. travelescapesinc.com. Open Mon. - Fri. 10am to 5:30pm and Sat. 10am to 2pm.

Jamaica, the Caribbean’s third largest island, is famous for gorgeous white-sand beaches and stunning crystal clear water, Blue Mountain coffee, Reggae rhythms, spicy “jerk” delicacies and world-famous golf!

The island also offers some of the most impressive all-inclusive resorts in the world, many of which are designed specifically for adults only.

As one of the largest and most popular Caribbean islands, air lift is quite good from almost anywhere in the U.S. Transportation options from Donald Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay to the tourist areas are plentiful and well organized – many hotels have meet and greet desks right in the airport making arrival even easier. Everyone in the service industry speaks English and there’s no real need to exchange US dollars; credit cards are widely accepted.

Jamaica has an excellent tourism infrastructure – making it easy to get out and see the island; communication is good; internet access readily available. Guided optional tours give visitors an opportunity to get out of the resort and easily and comfortably experience the island’s diversity.

Spectacular all-inclusive adults only resorts in every price range offer unparalleled onsite amenities for couples and groups of friends looking for that perfect combination of relaxation, recreation and romance. Jamaica’s all-inclusive resorts are world-renowned and provide an easy and convenient way to budget for vacation expense – a big plus when watching your pennies in today’s challenging economic environment. Many resorts feature world-class facilities expressly for adult guests, including over-the-top accommodations, top-rated golf courses, full-service spas, fine gourmet restaurants and water sports of all kinds. Plus, Jamaica is legendary as the honeymoon capital of the world, and destination weddings at Jamaica’s romantic resorts have become extremely popular in recent years.

This idyllic island has several major tourist areas that are all beautiful and have their own unique culture and flavor. Whether it’s a romantic retreat for two in Negril or a rowdy adventure with friends in Ocho Rios or a spa getaway with the girls or golf outing with the guys in Montego Bay, figuring out the ideal atmosphere is essential to finding the perfect resort. Choose from the ever-popular couples only Sandals Resorts and Couples Resorts located in Negril, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios; Secrets has two adjacent resorts in Montego Bay catering to adult guests providing a dual, adults-only fantasy world in which to play, relax and reconnect; and the Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa is a new intimate adults only gem in Ocho Rios catering to the over 30 crowd with spacious accommodations and lush grounds.

A vacation to one of Jamaica’s many adults only resorts (many of which are perennial world travel award winners) can absolutely be the perfect getaway any time of year - to unwind and recharge the batteries. Gorgeous beaches, breathtaking mountain views, and a lively and spirited culture have made the island one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations for decades. Contact your travel agent to book your Jamaica escape to one of the island’s legendary adults only resorts.

petpages Pet Set Pet Care Tip Frostbite and Your Pet

By Dixie Popham - Owner, Pet Set Grooming, 3313 Hwy. 5 Across from Publix, 770-949-0579 Prolonged exposure to the cold can cause frostbite — the death of tissue in the extremities.

Dog toes, tails, ear tips, and scrotum are the most common frostbite areas. Frostbitten tissue appears pale and is cold to the touch. It should be rewarmed slowly and given time to heal. It may turn red and swollen and be very painful as it heals. If it does not heal in three or

four days, amputation of the dead tissue might have to be done to avoid gangrene or mummification of the area.

Obviously, prevention is worth more than a pound of cure with frostbite. So, a few simple precautions: If your dog is an outside dog with a thick double coat, is accustomed to frigid winter weather and has a sheltered place to get away from wind and rain, he can probably stay outside no matter what winter throws his way. But if he’s old, arthritic, or debilitated in some way or if his coat’s not heavy enough, let him sleep inside when the temperature dips below freezing.

If she enjoys her daily excursions, by all means continue, but watch out for chemical ice-melting compounds on driveways, sidewalks, and streets. If you can’t avoid them, wipe her feet when you get back home so she doesn’t ingest the chemical when licking her paws. If the sidewalk is slushy, put some baby oil on her feet before you go out to help prevent slushsicles from forming between the pads of her paws.

If your pet is a puppy or geriatric dog, don’t leave her outside without supervision, especially in snow. Dog feet can get very cold very quickly, especially on thin-coated dogs, and you may have to rescue a shivering pet who cannot walk across the snow.

health&beauty a more gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip the skin of its natural oils. A gentle exfoliant is another necessity to keep skin in its best condition.

Exfoliants come in many forms, and they prepare the skin to absorb moisturizing products better. Enzymes, alpha-hydroxy acids, grains, and microbeads are all types of exfoliants. Speak with a skincare therapist to find out what the best form of exfoliation is for your skin.

Next in line for silky smooth skin is a serum or hydrating fluid and a nourishing cream. A light hydrating lotion or serum replaces water loss and minimizes fine lines. Follow this with a cream that is suited for your skin. Dry skin types need an ultra-rich emollient cream that protects and repairs dry skin. If your skin still needs extra moisture, a moisturizing mask is a great tool to have in your skincare arsenal.

Use it once per week or when your skin needs extra help. This might be the night after a little too much wine, and salty foods and too little rest!

Last, but not least, see your skincare therapist for a relaxing facial.

It might be just what you and your skin needs. Best wishes for healthy, beautiful skin in the new year!

Blissful Skin Care winter skin woes

By Leanne Lee, Bliss Hair Salon and Day Spa, 4040 Chapel Hill Road, 770-942-1100 Wintry weather brings with it a host of issues for the skin. Those who have normal skin have skin that is drier, with symptoms of tightness, and flakiness. For those who have dry skin, winter is brutal. Skin becomes easily chapped, extremely dry, irritated, and rough. But with a few good products, and some prevention, your skin can be as smooth as ever this winter.

When skin is dry, it’s depleted of its natural protective lipid barrier.

This lowers skin’s defenses against environmental assaults, and skin can respond with conditions such as, itching and redness. Your first line of defense is a gentle, creamy cleanser. Many people have an inclination to cleanse less in the winter, because they feel they are stripping their skin. But, the answer is not to skip cleansing, but to use

new nails for the new year

By Jeanne Grace Curtis, Nails Your Way, 770949-3113, www.nailsyourway.com Resolve to try something new this year. One of the best new nail products now offered is the UV soak-off gel polish. This new nail polish lasts ten to fourteen days without chipping, cracking or fading. The polish is applied in a similar way to traditional polish. It is then cured under an ultraviolet light to harden it. It is easily soaked off and does not damage the natural nails. It works best on short to medium length natural nails. It can also be used with nail lengthening enhancement tips.

Resolve to quit your damaging nail biting habit this year. Nail biting can cause inflammation of the surrounding skin and chronic infections that can lead to malformation of the nail plate. A professional recovery program will help you overcome compulsive nail biting. Regularly scheduled healing manicures and the use of a good nail strengthener and an all-natural herbal bite-no-more cream will restore your nails in health and length.

picking and prying will pull off layers of the natural nail plate. To avoid rough, thin, brittle and painful nail beds, artificial nails should only be carefully soaked off in acetone and gently buffed as the acrylic begins to soften and melt. The use of a clear strengthening polish, a fluoride treatment, and weekly manicures are all important parts of the recovery process. If you need the discipline it takes to stay focused on getting your nails healthy again, go to a professional onyxologist who specializes in nail damage recovery.

Resolve to get your feet healthy this year. Regular monthly pedicures help to maintain healthy feet. A medical-style pedicure is tailored to treat dry heels, ingrown toenails, calluses, thick nails and fungus infections. A medical-style pedicure is a safe pedicure for people that suffer from diseases such as diabetes, cancer, arthritis or fibromyalgia. Gentle treatment of delicate skin also makes medicalstyle pedicures safe for the elderly.

Resolve to get rid of fingernail or toenail fungus this year. Nail fungus causes nails to become brittle, thick and yellow. Nail fungus can spread from toe to toe, finger-to-finger, or person-to-person.

Mild fungus can usually be treated with a topical liquid containing thymol applied twice daily for three, six, or twelve months depending on how long it has been there. Severe or long-term fungus infections require taking oral tablets such as Lamasil or Sporonox that are prescribed by a doctor. In either case, treatment (just like resolutions) must be frequent, long-term, and disciplined.

Personal Trainers Corner MAkE THIS YEAR...DIFFERENT!

By Leslie Austin - Leslie Austin has been in the fitness industry for 16 years as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor. She is currently employed with Gold’s Gym in Douglasville. You can reach her at LesAus10@aol.com A recent research survey found that 40 to 45% of American adults make one or more resolutions each year. Among the top New Year’s resolutions are about weight loss, exercise, and stopping to smoke. While a lot of people who make New Year’s resolutions do break them, research shows that making resolutions is useful. People who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don’t explicitly make resolutions. So here are nine tips to help you make this year different by maintaining that New Year resolution.

1. Visualize your end result. A great idea is to place pictures or other types of tangible reminders of your end goal where you can see them every day.

2. Get a fitness assessment to figure out your starting point and learn your strengths and weaknesses. If you are one of those that year after year, make the resolution to get healthy and lose weight this is a good place to start. Going forward, continue to get a fitness reassessment every eight to 12 weeks to track progress to celebrate your success along the way and to help you stay motivated.

3. A goal without a plan is only a wish. Stop wishing you were ______ and start mapping out a concrete plan to get there. Surround yourself with information and resources to help you reach your goal.

4. Set small, achievable goals that build momentum.

Aim low. It goes without saying that most New Year’s resolutions are easier announced (or written) than done-but if you set the bar too high, you’re doomed from the start. Instead of a sweeping declaration like “I will lose 30 pounds by April and finally fit into that dress,” target a goal that’s more attainable, like losing 10 or 15 pounds. Long-term goals are important, but short-term goals provide bursts of motivation with each mini success.

5. Create a schedule to keep yourself consistent. If you are like me everything is scheduled. So if you need this type of accountability than schedule it. Set deadlines for when each step should be accomplished, and put them in your planner. This way you are committed to the goals, and they are part of your everyday life, not an abstract notion.

6. Journal your exercise and dietary intake on a daily basis. You have to know what you are consuming before you can truly get a handle on your weight loss plans.

7. Change up your exercise routine every four to six weeks. Strive for consistent progression in your program so that every workout is a challenge.

8. Troubleshoot your excuses. Write them down, then ask yourself, “How would others respond to that?” You’ll be surprised at how impactful seeing them in writing can be!

9. Tell your friends about your goals. Tell everyone you know. One school of thought says that New Year’s resolutions are best kept to oneself, but look at it this way: the more people to whom you announce your resolution (say, to get out of your dead-end job by spring), the more people there will be to prod you along if you fall behind. There’s no shame in seeking help if you can’t accomplish your resolution on your own.

ORGANIZING TIPS

Organize Your Life: 1 Goal at a Time

By Joyce Maxwell, owner of ReJoyce N Order, Professional Organizer and speaker. Awarded “Business Associate of the Year for 2007” by Douglas County Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association. 770-941-0201, www.rejoycenorder.com

Here’s hoping that by the time you read this you are basking in the memories of a blessed Holiday Season, with Thanksgiving, Christmas and maybe even New Year’s behind you; you are probably breathing a sigh of relief. As much as I enjoy the season, I must confess I can’t wait to put it all away and move into the New Year - refreshed, organized and ready to face new challenges, experiences and/or whatever else God has in store for me.

I no longer make “New Year’s Resolutions” because they usually become something I think about for about one week then never remember again, until next year, when I repeat the process all over again. However, I do set goals and I encourage you to do the same.

There is an old saying that goes something like this: “If you aim at nothing you will likely hit it!”

In February 2003, USA Today ran an article discussing a study done on New Year’s resolutions and it was discovered that only 4% of the people who made resolutions but did not write them down actually made any changes; however, of those who wrote them down…46% had actually followed through on them.

binder with tabs that will only be used for the purpose of keeping up with your goals. You need to set goals in every area of your life, but I am sure you are thinking “Where do I even start?” I know that is how I felt when I made my first attempt at this.

It all starts with a dream. Ask yourself these questions: If there were no limitations (money, education, etc.) what would I be doing with my life? Where would I be living? What would my relationships with my family look like? What would I weigh? Think of every area of your life…personal, professional, spiritual, emotional and write down what that dream would look like.

Don’t even think about all the reasons these things aren’t possible for you right now. Just look at each of the areas we discussed and ask this question: What is the one thing I could do today to make this happen in my life? It may be that you need to sign up for a class, read a book or make a call to a family member. Whatever it is - write it down and give yourself a deadline for making it happen.

You have just set some goals for yourself….now you must review them, and even rewrite them, everyday and keep asking yourself that same question over and over again until you start seeing results.

I am out of space for this month so next month we will continue with the details on how to make this a way of life, because I truly believe that the first step in achieving an organized life starts with an organized mind. You can’t arrive at a destination if you don’t have a map on how to get there!

Creative Combinations = Home Blending!

By Karen Hartley, a local interior designer and decorator. As owner of Interiors by Decorating Den, she has been in business for 23 years. She can be reached at 770-459-9096.

If you’ve ever had the task of combining furnishings from two different households, you know the difficulties this dilemma can present.

Whether it’s a blended family, a new marriage, new housemates or even furnishings coming from a family member who is downsizing, mixing all these often diverse elements from different styles of decor can be challenging. So here are a few tips to help you get started!

First, take a careful inventory of all pieces. Include not only the large items, such as furniture, but also items such as area rugs, lamps, pictures and even accessories that you may want to incorporate into your new decorating plan. Be careful not to assign where the piece will go yet. Just because it has always been in the living room doesn’t mean that’s the only place it can go! For larger pieces, you may want to take measurements. It’s always easier to measure the space and see if the pieces will fit before you actually bring the furniture in.

Once your list is complete, go through it carefully and check off the items you definitely want to keep. Your final list may include antiques, high quality furnishings, and items of sentimental value. It could even include that comfortable old chair that you’ve enjoyed many hours sitting in with a good book in hand. If you have a large quantity to access, you may even want to prioritize or rank the pieces based on which are most important to you – or to the others will share this space.

It’s key in planning your new room design that you create harmony between the sizes of different pieces of furniture you select for your new room. Simply defined, harmony is the pleasing and orderly arrangement of all design parts so that they form a consistent and satisfying whole. Another key consideration in creating a harmonious eclectic style is to definitely consider mixing periods and styles in your furniture pieces because it will not only make for a more harmonious feeling in your room, but will ultimately create a more interesting decorating scheme. It’s important to remember that when you decide to mix different periods or styles of furnishings, that your pieces all be in the same or similar mood – that is, either formal or informal, gay and frivolous or serious, dignified and formal.

So, what do you do if the items you wish to keep don’t blend or match with your new homes’ existing décor? Take heart! The eclectic look has been officially “in” for years now. Gone are the days when every single piece of furniture has to match. The Dallas Ewing clan of the 70’s and 80’s may have had a perfectly matched “suite” in every

room, but not the high tech families of today’s generation. The first consideration will be scale. Large rooms with high ceilings will best take larger pieces. Mother’s small chairs will be great in a bedroom but may look tiny in the family room! Small end tables may seem really out of place next to a large chair. Place the smaller pieces in smaller rooms.

There truly is a difference between not matching and not coordinating. In fact synonyms for eclectic include: discriminating, particular and selective. If the fabric on a chair or sofa doesn’t work and the frame is still in good shape, consider having it reupholstered. A good upholsterer can restyle, add a skirt, eliminate a skirt and add new legs. Cushions can be replaced. Tables can be refinished or painted. Bed frames can be resized with new longer rails; a full size headboard can be used with a queen mattress. Two twins can be combined to make a king. Mother’s end tables from the living room could make great nightstands or side tables next to that little lounge chair in the guest bedroom.

So, if a piece does not belong anywhere, get rid of it, but always consider recycling first! The classifieds, EBay, or even a furniture consignment shop sale might even help bring you some extra cash for more decorating or donate it to a great charitable and take the tax deduction.

Ace Hardware goes extra mile in service

By Tim Collins I enjoy sharing stories of local businesses that give great customer service, so I wanted to tell the readers about my experience with the locally owned Douglasville Ace Hardware on Church Street, My son’s Playstation 3 had an error message and we had to remove the hard drive. However, one of the three screws holding it in place became stripped. I read about something called a screw extractor, so I went down to Ace Hardware to get one. However, it turned out that the screw extractor was a bit that fits on a drill and I did not have a drill to put it on. The clerk, who incidentally helped me find the screw extractor to begin with, said I could either buy a drill, or I could bring the Playstation 3 to them and they could get it off. So, after a trip back to the house, I brought the Playstation 3 into the store, and Billy got the screw out in about a minute. He did not charge me anything for doing this, though I did buy three replacement screws for less than a dollar.

I think this is a great illustration of why it is so important to support our locally owned businesses, because this definitely would not have happened in a department store. It’s so nice to go into a business that really desires to SERVE the customer, so three cheers for Douglasville Ace Hardware!

LANDSCAPING TIPS

By Kate Wright. Kate owns Bloom’n Gardens Landscape, a design/build/maintenance firm.

She is a degreed Botanist, Certified Arborist, Certified Pesticide Applicator, and carries a Level 1A certification in Erosion Control. www.bloomngardens.com • 404-314-1474 • Kate@bloomngardens.com

Why you should not skip your winter application of straw or mulch....

As we move into the colder months of the year many of you have tuned out your landscape or your pocket books have been pulled in so many different directions you may question the importance of new mulch. Well, let me be your landscape advocate. Pine straw and mulch are not simply for aesthetics. Sure they add tremendous value to your curb appeal, but they mean so much more. Many of you have invested a great deal in your landscape; consider mulch and pine straw protection for that investment.

Mulch and pine straw protect the roots of your plants from excessive heat, as well as, excessive cold. Have you ever wondered why some of your evergreen plants brown out in the winter? One reason is evergreens are actually more susceptible to winter injury than deciduous trees and shrubs as they have the ability to lose moisture through their leaves in winter as well as in summer, and unless that moisture can be replaced, browning of the leaves and drying of the branches or of the whole plant may be the result. Adding an extra blanket on their roots helps to prevent the loss of moisture that could cause browning.

Another added benefit of mulch is its ability to suppress weeds.

Weeds typically spread by way of seeds and sunlight is a much needed element is the seed germination process. By adding mulch to your planting beds you not only prevent sunlight from reaching the soil, in a lot of cases you prevent the weed seeds from coming into contact with the soil in the first place.

Lastly, another extremely important benefit of mulch and pine straw is its erosion control capabilities. During the last few months we have experienced a great deal of rain fall. You may or may not have noticed that areas not covered in mulch were much more likely to show signs of erosion than those properly mulched. How does mulch prevent erosion? The millions of shredded fibers in mulch interlock forming a blanket of mulch that holds the slope while intercepting water flow. When rain falls on the site water is spread laterally thru the mulch as a result of the surface area and airspace. The shredded material acts as millions of tiny dams forcing the water to slow down and spread out. Mulch will also absorb water, trapping it, thus allowing it to percolate into the soil underneath. Because mulch holds water effectively through adhesion and cohesion, it keeps the soil surface cool and moist longer, thus promoting favorable conditions for beneficial organisms to thrive and further develop the soil profile.

Over time, the soils will become more and more aggregated, increasing their ability to hold, percolate and exfiltrate water.

If you have not considered mulching this year, I hope that I have given you enough reason to reconsider. Your plants are counting on you.

Year-End Tax Planning Presents Unique Challenges, Part 2

By T. Dennis Connally. T. Dennis Connally is a certified public accountant with an office at 8483 Campbellton St., across from the post office. His office can be reached at 770-920-2890 or www.tdconnally.com.

IRS defers reporting of employer-provided health insurance costs on Form W-2 Employers are eligible for a one-year deferral of mandatory reporting of the costs of employer- provided health insurance on an employee’s Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement.

According to the IRS, many employers need more time to make the necessary changes to their payroll systems to ensure accurate reporting.

Reporting Employers must to provide each employee with a Form W-2 annually by January 31 of the following tax year. For example, 2010 Forms W-2 must be provided to employees by January 31, 2011. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) adds more reporting requirements. The PPACA requires that the aggregate costs of employer-provided health insurance be reported on Forms W-2. Social Security wage base remains unchanged for 2011 The maximum amount of earnings subject to Social Security will be unchanged in 2011, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced.

The wage base, above which wages are not subject to Social Security taxes, will be $106,800.

The major source of funding Social Security is payroll taxes on earnings that are paid by employees and their employers.

The self-employed are charged the equivalent of the combined employer and employee tax rates. During 2009, an estimated 156 million people had earnings covered by Social Security and paid payroll taxes. Social Security’s Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program limits the amount of earnings subject to taxation for a given year. This is known as the Social Security wage base. Wages above the wage base limit are not subject to Social Security tax withholding. For 2010, the wage base is $106,800.

TAX PLANNING TIPS! 1. Review your income, expenses and potential deductions.

(You have to know where you are before deciding where to go.)

2. Use up your Flex Spending Plan.

3. Pay your mortgage on or before December 31, 2010. This allows you the additional mortgage interest.

4. Don’t forget to make your charitable contributions.

5. Go Green. There are several tax savings for energy efficient and “Green” residential improvements.

money&finance Preparing for Your Financial Future Courtesy of Janice Thompson, State Farm Insurance, 2090 Fairburn Road, 770-489-1400, janice.thompson. cexv@statefarm.com, Member NASD When most of us think of investing, we immediately think of investing for retirement. While that is an important aspect to be considered, there are other pieces of the puzzle that are also important. Establishing a budget, investing early and regularly, and saving for post-secondary education should also be considered.

Establish a budget Establishing a budget is a great first step in planning your finances. A budget is a useful tool for recording all of your income and expenses. By writing down how much money you earn and spend each month, you can see where your money is going. This will assist you in being able to prioritize your expenses and needs. Any money left over can be used for saving and investing. Even a small amount of money invested regularly can help.

Invest early and regularly, even small amounts One reason to start a regular investment program early is to give your money as much time as possible to grow through compounding. If you haven’t started investing yet, then consider starting now and getting into the habit. Just remember that the amounts you invest do not have to be large, especially if the money is taken directly out of each paycheck. You will be surprised how little you miss

Social Security Covers Every Season of Life Each stage of life — from the spring of youth to the summer of middle age to the autumn of retirement — comes with its own set of financial concerns. And in each situation, Social Security is there to help.

While the death of a husband, wife, or parent is emotionally devastating, it often can be financially devastating as well. Social Security provides a monthly survivors benefit payment to help the qualified family members of a deceased worker. Social Security disability protection is equally valuable. Few workers have an employer-provided, long-term disability policy. With Social Security, however, the average worker has the equivalent of a disability insurance policy that pays monthly benefits to workers and their families, based on the workers’ lifetime earnings.

So you can rest a little easier knowing that Social Security provides some measure of security, if life does not turn out as planned.

On the other hand, if you do work and retire as planned, Social Security serves as the foundation for a secure retirement. Social Security is the largest source of income for most elderly Americans today, but Social Security was never intended to be your only source of income when you retire. You also will need other savings, investments, pensions or retirement accounts to make sure you have enough money to live comfortably when you retire.

The Social Security Statement that you receive in the mail each year provides an estimate of your retirement, survivors, and disability insurance benefits. If you’d like to try out some different scenarios and see how various retirement ages and future earnings may change your retirement picture, visit our online Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator.

money you don’t see. If you’re already investing every month, look for ways to contribute more through bonuses and monetary gifts.

A hypothetical example The value of starting early is illustrated by a 25-year-old investing $2,000 per year for 10 years at a hypothetical 8 percent fixed rate of return with all gains and dividends reinvested. This 25-yearold would accumulate $314,870 by age 65. A 35-year-old investing $2,000 per year for 30 years and reinvesting all gains and dividends will have $244,692 when he or she reaches 65. These hypothetical examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent or imply the actual performance of any specific investment.

It is important to note that any investment involves risks that may result in the loss of principal and there is no guarantee that the strategies illustrated will produce positive investment results.

College tuition planning Preparing for your children’s or grandchildren’s college education is important, especially when tuition costs are rising every year.

One possibility might include investing in a Coverdell Education Savings Account, which allows tax-free withdrawals for qualified education expenses. These can include room, board and tuition for elementary, secondary and higher education. You might also want to look into prepaid tuition plans. Many states offer programs that allow parents to lock in the cost of tomorrow’s college tuition and fees for about what it would cost today.

Ventilation Systems of Atlanta offers E-Z Breather

Ventilation Systems of Atlanta, LLC now offers customers all of the benefits of the innovative system: E-Z Breather which expels stale, polluted air and provides a whole-house air exchange six to ten times each day. E-Z Breather functions as a high-end dehumidifier and air purifier, while also offering maintenance-free convenience at a low operating cost.

As building and remodeling practices strive for higher and higher energy efficiency they create a very tight structure that can harbor moisture, pollutants and toxins without a way to escape. The E-Z Breather unit provides that escape by expelling the polluted air and providing a healthier indoor air quality.

EZ Breather Ventilation Systems has just completed a series of tests on the EZ Breather unit. The results from one test indicate an average mold spore decrease of 67%. More impressively, the spore count in a specific location dropped from 1240 spores per cubic meter to 267 spores per cubic meter, a 78% reduction in 45 days. The second test indicated an average 50% reduction in airborne particles throughout the entire structure and an impressive 95% reduction in mold spores in the basement level.

“The E-Z Breather system virtually sells itself because the benefits are so apparent to our customers,” said Don Stallworth, President. “The noticeably cleaner, fresher air is an immediate indicator that E-Z Breather is doing its job.” This system contributes to a healthier lifestyle reducing indoor humidity, ridding the home of damaging moisture that can encourage

The Genuine Official Red Ryder BB Gun

By Neal Beard | nealbeard@bellsouth.net

My prized childhood possession was a genuine official Red Ryder BB gun. At Monk Eye’s house I showed him my sharp shooting skill pinging a can. He was having a conniption fit to try it. I gave him all the precautions I had received. “Don’t shoot that thang at nobody, you could put their eye out.

Don’t aim it at a dog, a cat, a hog, or nobody’s mule.” In spite of his history of many monumental mishaps he was always confident that he could do anything; he was certain he would be an expert shot.

He was hitting the can about once every ten shots. He said, “look how close I’m gittin’. I could hit it ever time if I wanted to.” If he wanted to think he was a good shot, when the can and I knew better, let him go on in his delusion.

His daddy wasn’t on friendly terms with any kind of work, so it was left up to his mama to work at the cotton mill, keep house, cook, work the garden, and put up with his whining about his many ailments, all of which required 90 proof treatment. She was a tough minded, hard working, and sometimes hard cussing, woman. She came out to work in her garden while we were plunking cans with the BB gun. She wore a pair of men’s overhauls (overalls for the less cultured).

Her one joy in life was Tube Rose snuff. She would fight for it; I had seen her do it. On one occasion her husband, mad that there was no money for him to buy his medicine, (his boot legger /druggist, operated on a cash and drink basis), made a major mistake by lamenting, “we’d have

money if you didn’t spend it all on yore ole’ snuff.” She grabbed a dog wood brush broom and began whopping him and screaming expletives not intended for tender, or even not so tender, ears. It translated something like this, “you sorry low down #$%*. You wouldn’t work in a %&*# pie factory. I do all the #$!*& work around heah. You spend everthang on #$@%* likker an’ begrudge me my snuff.” Thus ended the snuff snafu.

A small can of Tube Rose in the side pocket of her overhauls, poked out on the side of her leg as she bent over picking turnip greens. Monk Eye said, “hey, watch this, I’m ‘gonna shoot mama’s snuff can and scare her.”

“Daggone it Monk Eye, I done tole you, don’t shoot at nobody, you might put their eye out, although her eye wasn’t exposed to near the hazard as other areas of her anatomy.

“Naw, I know I kin hit thet snuff can.” He cocked my genuine official Red Ryder BB gun, aimed and fired. He missed the little can – he hit the big one. She yelped, jerked up board straight, and grabbed her right hip pocket.

Ever the quick thinker, in a life or death crisis, he yelled, “look out mama, Neal’s done went an’ stirred up a yaller jacket’s nest.” But she knew the source of her painful posterior problem. Kneading her abused hip pocket with one hand, she grabbed him with the other and hauled him in the house, from whence came an abundance of whopping, and an impressive string of double jointed, hide peeling cuss words. Monk Eye was squalling, like a dying calf in a hail storm. I was horrified – he still had my genuine official Red Ryder BB gun.

Even major surgery doesn’t seem so major – not when you have world-class surgeons and the most advanced technology available.

They’ve shared their expertise on minimally invasive procedures with leading U.S. medical centers and on spinal surgery with doctors from around the world.

Put the most advanced medical technology in their hands – including the da Vinci robotic surgical system – and you have world-class surgical care.

Why would you have surgery anywhere else?

Getting Sober This New Year

By The Potter’s Wheel Rehab in Villa Rica, 770-459-8799, www. thepotterswheelrehab.org During the Christmas season people struggling with addiction tend to increase their usage of alcohol, drugs, and prescription pain pills.

Substance abuse can be a coping mechanism in response to stress of the holiday season. It need not be so. One can approach the new year with a resolution of sobriety.

Addiction is a very complicated disorder and after years of substance use, most people cannot just quit. There are many medical, psychological, and social complications that are associated with drug and alcohol use. Over the years, while under the influence, people make bad choices and develop destructive behaviors. These destructive behaviors can destroy their health, relationships, resources, responsibilities, and self image. Abstinence from a drug or detoxification does not mean recovery from all the collateral damage caused by addiction. While many addiction aides exist (Suboxone, Vivitrol, Campral, Methadone) they are like bandages on a wound. These aides don’t cure addiction.

The ultimate goal of treatment is to retrain the mind, as well as identify and treat all underlying medical and/or psychiatric problems that contribute to addiction. A vital part of rehabilitation is family reunification. Ensuring a safe and healthy detoxification and treatment environment is essential as well.

If you or someone you love is suffering from addiction, encourage them to start the new year with a resolution of sobriety.

Choosing a Retirement Community

By Gary M. Tallent, Executive Director, Ashbrook Village in Villa Rica, 770-459-8061 New Year’s Resolutions are fun to make. Our great intentions to lose weight, eat healthy, control our finances, exercise, and get organized are often just that - great intentions. According to Webster’s Dictionary, one definition of resolution is “the answer or solution to a problem”. So, what if your resolutions this year involved finding a solution for your aging parents?

You might not have thought there was a problem with your aging parent, but often times during the holidays when families are gathering, you might have noticed some changes. “After the holidays, we see an increase in families calling us for advice to learn about the benefits of respite care and assisted living,” explains Gary Tallent, Executive Director at Ashbrook Village. “Some type of situation happened during their visit that prompted a call or visit to us.”

It is very common for family members to believe that their aging relative is living independently. But is she living independently or is she living alone? There is a big difference. When someone lives independently they are able to take their medications on time, eat right, pay their bills, drive, keep an active social life and maintain a household.

Family members tend to assume their loved one is able to do all those things. But, as we age, seniors tend to become uncomfortable with familiar tasks such as bathing for they fear they may fall; or they forget parts of their daily routine such taking their medications.

In finding a resolution for your parents, a retirement community offers a variety of choices for seniors. There are numerous benefits of living in a retirement community. For family members, the primary benefit is a sense of peace knowing that their loved one is in an environment where someone is available 24 hours a day. For seniors, they are comfortable knowing they have the independence they want while having available help when needed.

medicaldirectory&guide Vein Health

Submitted by Georgia Vein Specialists, www.GAvein.com, 678626-0019 Varicose veins are abnormally dilated blood vessels that develop when the one-way valves in the veins fail to work properly and blood backs up in the vein rather than being returned to the heart.

Varicose veins affect an estimated 40 percent of women and 25 percent of men, and may be due to heredity, gender, pregnancy, and age, among other factors. Prolonged standing, obesity, hormone levels, and physical trauma may actually speed up the development of the disease and make the veins worse.

In addition to the visual appearance of varicose veins, many patients may experience one or more of the following leg symptoms: • Pain (an aching or cramping feeling) • Heaviness/Tiredness • Burning or tingling sensations • Swelling/Throbbing • Tender areas around the veins Historically, surgery has been the preferred treatment option for

varicose veins. This usually meant hospitalization, significant discomfort and a lengthy recovery time. New non-surgical options are rapidly changing the way varicose veins are treated. Consequently, patients have no hospital stay, no scarring and no recovery time. Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), uses targeted laser energy to seal the vein shut.

This in-office procedure takes less than an hour, offers immediate relief of symptoms, and patients can return to normal activities immediately. Only local anesthesia is required and patients have very minimal or no scarring.

If you experience symptoms and delay treatment, your symptoms may progress onward to more serious complications including: • Inflammation (phlebitis) • Blood clots (e.g., DVT) • Ankle sores or skin ulcers • Bleeding But according to Dr. Glenn Kerwin, board-certified in vascular and interventional radiology and co-director of Georgia Vein Specialists, the success rate for ELVT is around 98 percent and the satisfaction rate is very high. “This is a cure, not a temporary treatment for the cosmetic symptoms. ELVT closes the vein completely so that blood can no longer back up in the vein and cause problems.”

Treatment is covered by most insurance carriers and qualifies as a flexible spending account expense.

Physicians - if you have any news about your practice, you may submit it at no cost.

What Do State Rules Say About Dyslexia?

By Rebecca S. Blakeman, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist - Adolescent Child Specialty Services, 3138 Golf Ridge Blvd., Douglasville, 404-3101161, blakers1@aol.com.

Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, estimated to affect between 10 to 20% of students (depending on severity requirements for diagnosis). Yet despite the rather high frequency of this learning disability, misinformation—and myths—abound. Thankfully, it appears that the Georgia Department of Education has recognized that it is, in fact, important to recognize and acknowledge dyslexia where it exists. This month I would like to help parents know exactly where to go, on the internet, to find the documentation they need that shows that the Georgia Department of Education does expect schools to recognize dyslexia as one of the specific learning disabilities.

Begin by going to the Georgia Department of Education website at www.doe.k12.ga.us. Click on the ‘About GaDOE’ link at the top of the page. Find the ‘Standards, Instruction, and Assessment’ subheading, then click on the “Special Education Services and Supports” link subsumed under the ‘Standards’ subheading. Using the

education Search box menu, click on “specific learning disability.” You will then find a definition of specific learning disability that reads “Specific learning disability is defined as a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell or do mathematical calculations. The term includes such conditions as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia and developmental aphasia” (bolding added). There is also a ‘dyslexia’ link on that page that further documents that dyslexia is in fact supposed to be recognized by schools.

“There has been much confusion concerning the term, dyslexia. It has been brought to the Department’s attention by parents of students with disabilities that some schools do not recognize the diagnosis of dyslexia. In the guidance contained in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004, the term, dyslexia, is included in the definition of a specific learning disability. Please refer to 34 CFR §300.8(c)(10).”

Now, while I do not agree with everything stated on the ‘dyslexia’ page (e.g., indicating that students only have dyslexia when they do not respond to interventions—if the correct interventions are selected, students with dyslexia will respond and learn to read), it is clear that the Georgia Department of Education expects all schools in Georgia to recognize dyslexia as one of the specific learning dis-

abilities. While it remains true that not all students with dyslexia will necessary qualify for special education services and an Individual Education Plan (IEP), certainly a significant percentage of students with dyslexia will be expected to exhibit impairments severe enough to warrant such services.

Finally, parents should be aware that schools are required to take under consideration all information brought to them about a child’s disability, including an independent psychologist’s diagnosis of dyslexia; it is not a guarantee that your child will receive services, but it does mean that school personnel cannot simply disregard a professional evaluation or diagnosis of dyslexia (and while I have heard parents fear that this might happen, I have never known it happen).

From the Douglas County School System January is National Mentoring Month

Mentoring and the positive impact it can have on young lives is celebrated during January, National Mentoring Month. This monthlong outreach campaign emphasizes the attention needed for mentors, as well as how each of us can work together to increase the number of mentors in our community. Many young people today need a caring adult role model to provide encouragement, support, and help them have a brighter future.

“Mentors make a positive lasting impression in a child’s life that will help mold and encourage them to go after their dreams.” says Dr. Omar Wray, counselor at Yeager Middle School. “Numerous students have shown impressive improvements in the areas of academics, attendance and behavior thanks to mentors volunteering their time to assist and listen to them. There is no greater gift an adult can give a child than to share time with them.”

As part of National Mentoring Month, January 25, 2011 is Thank Your Mentor Day™.

The Douglas County School System MATCH Mentoring Program thanks our mentors, mentees, and program staff for their dedication to the students of Douglas County.

MATCH Mentoring Program participants will be honored at the Hero Awards ceremony on January 25, 2011 at the Chapel Hill High School Theater. We invite you to join us at 4:30 p.m. as we recognize these important people. Mentoring can be broadly defined as a trusting relationship that places a more experienced person alongside another to offer guidance and support. Mentors provide encouragement, advice, and help to mentees. Mentoring can take on many forms with different roles: student and teacher, athlete and coach, grandchild and grandparent, new hire and experienced colleague.

In order to give all of our students the opportunity to benefit from mentoring, we need caring, concerned and dedicated members of our community to serve as mentors.

Longtime mentor and Hero Award recipient, Jimmy Haddle, feels “Mentoring is such a blessing and could be considered the most gratifying thing I have ever done. The opportunity to build a one on one relationship is hard to measure at times. It is also difficult to put in to words what it feels like when I see a child’s eyes light up when they gain knowledge or achieve a difficult task. I have been with my student a little over four years now and it’s a rewarding feeling to see him grow socially, emotionally, academically, and physically. It feels great to know I have had a hand in some of his development.”

Would you be willing to serve as a difference maker? We all know the many challenges that our youth face and as a mentor you can take the initiative to be the change you want to see.

The MATCH Mentoring Program offers mentoring for all grade levels. For further information about the program please contact Mitzi Teal, Executive Director of Communities in Schools of Douglas County, at 770-651-2039 or email: mentor@douglas.k12.ga.us.

education Winston Academy announces Winston Christian Academy When Angie Smith opened the doors of Winston Academy seven years ago this fall, she had a dream in her heart and a vision for the future. Her husband, Glenn, and daughters, Jessica and Mandy, shared that dream. Angie believed then (and still does today) that God led her to the right property, opened doors “that no man can close” as the Scripture says, and sent families to be blessed by and to bless Winston Academy. She said back then, “I want to make a difference in the community.” Angie, Glenn, Jessica, and Mandy set out to do just that.

They still want to make a difference.

Since the fall of 2003, our community, along with the rest of our nation, has seen many ups and downs. Winston Academy has felt the pinch of the economic downturn. But Angie and her family stand firmly committed to the original vision of Winston Academy: “Quality Childcare is not Expensive. . .it’s Priceless!!” Remember, though, that anything that is alive and well is constantly changing and growing.

Winston Academy is alive and well and will go into 2011 with a new name and broader mission.

You’ll soon see the new sign (expected to be finished in early January) announcing Winston Christian Academy. Angie’s mission is to provide high quality early education for children six weeks old through the fifth grade. Winston Christian Academy is not a “daycare” or a “childcare center.” WCA is dedicated to teaching children and nurturing their growth in a positive Christian atmosphere. Your children will learn not only academic skills, but life skills that will help them develop into positive young boys and girls capable of coping with our stressful

and ever-changing world.

WCA offers GA Pre-K classes, currently hosting three classes with twenty students in each class. The private A Beka Christian classes are also available and highly recommended, starting with K-4 and going through fifth grade. The A Beka curriculum is a highly-structured program, excellent for accelerating students. Enrollment for next fall begins in mid-January, so make plans to visit WCA, meet Angie and her staff, and set your child’s future course for positive education.

Winston Christian Academy’s mascot is the eagle. Eagles don’t follow the crowd. Eagles fly alone, high above the storms in life. WCA is not part of the crowd of ordinary childcare centers. Winston Christian Academy is a school dedicated to helping children excel in every area of life.

in

Mercer University’s Tift College of Education will expand two graduate programs to new metro Atlanta locations in January. The College will offer its hybrid-format Master of Education in early childhood education in Forsyth County and the Education Specialist in teacher leadership at the University’s Douglas County Regional Academic Center.

“We are always looking for ways to help advance the education of teachers in our state and adding these degrees in Cumming and Lithia Springs will help to reach even more teachers looking for ways to help their students while advancing their careers,” said Dr. Catherine Gardner, professor of education and chair of the College’s teacher education programs in Henry, Douglas, Newnan and Forsyth. “Educators in this state are committed to their students, and we wanted to find ways that we could continue to be innovative and supportive of their needs. Offering these programs in new locations does just that.”

The Specialist in Education offers teachers who are certified at the master’s level an opportunity to develop their skills as teacher-leaders within their grade levels and schools and also upgrades a renewable teaching certificate to a T-6 level. The program is open to certified teachers with at least three years of experience and a master’s degree.

The program requires 30 hours (10 courses) and can be completed in four semesters. Embedded in the teacher leadership program is the opportunity to add endorsements in reading or English as a second language. The Douglas teacher-leader program will be offered in a hybrid format with content online or in class as needed. The hybrid program is currently offered at the Henry County Regional Academic Center.

For more information on the Specialist in Education, contact Sabrina (Breezy) Straton, admissions counselor, at 678-547-6493 or straton_st@mercer.edu.

education Favors signs with Lipscomb University The basketball court is a familiar place for Alexander High School senior Kateca Favors. It is where, for the last two years, she has been leading the Lady Cougars in rebounds. In addition to being a powerhouse on court, she dominated the track field. Last Spring, she placed first at the Douglas County Track and Field Championship, making her number one in the county in the shot put.

And while she values her participation in athletics and volunteering with Girl Scouts, she is most proud of maintaining honor student status.

During Alexander’s off-season, Kateca plays for the Douglasville Lady Tigers AAU basketball team. Keteca says basketball is where her heart is. The love of the game explains why Favors is the first student in the 25-year history of Alexander to receive a basketball scholarship to an NCAA division I school.

After carefully considering more than 15 scholarship offers, she has decided to sign with Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN. At Lipscomb, she will play for the Lady Bison under coach Frank Bennett.

Kateca says she’s excited about the future but is focused on her final season with the lady Cougars. She hopes to have many games like the one against Villa Rica last season, when she snagged 19 rebounds.

When asked how she feels about making history at Alexander High School she responds, “I’d like to thank all of my coaches and I hope this inspires all athletes playing on the high school level to never give up on yourself.”

Cub Scouts to sell City Manager Game Cub Scout Pack 950, chartered at Lithia Springs United Methodist Church will be selling the new City Manager Game as a fund raising project. The pack will earn $8 for each game they sell at the regular retail price of $19.95. Proceeds will be used to help boys who cannot afford the annual dues, and to help leaders purchase supplies for the activities of the Cub Scout Pack. If you wish to purchase one of the games from the Cub Scout Pack, you may contact the Cub Master Valerie Collins at 770-739-5471 or by email at CMPack950@yahoo.com . If you know one of the children in the pack, you may also contact their parents directly. For information on the Pack, you may visit their website at www.freewebs.com/pack950.

City Manager is a very unique board game because it features about 90 businesses from Douglas County and a number of well known citizens and local officials. Businesses include Arbor Place Mall, GreyStone Power, Borders Books, Taco Mac, Gumbeaux, Chapel Hill News & Views, the Douglas County Sentinel, John Bleakley Ford, and many more. Some of the people in the game are Mayor Mickey Thompson, Commission Chairman Tom Worthan, Sheriff Phil Miller, Police Chief Chris Womack, Captain Herb Emory of WSB, and Elana Meyers (Olympic Bronze Medalist). Douglas County Bank president Billy Mayhew will be in the game, but as the notorious Billy the Kid.

education storybook characters like Alice in Wonderland, and “Douggie” the local sea monster who lives in the fountain in downtown Douglasville are also in the game. Even the faces on the money in the game are some of the founders of Douglas County. Many of the “Event Cards” in the game will feature local interest items, for example September

Saturdays, and Taste of Douglasville Arts. The quality of the game is extremely high.

The object of City Manager, is to build a city from scratch. Your goal is to be the first city manager to reach a population of 200 residents. Cities grow in population by adding businesses, and also by adding certain people. Players bid on the businesses (money is included in the game). Businesses also generate revenue, and the amount of money they make or lose depends on the population of the city. As the population grows, that business will begin making money, which can be used to bid on more businesses to grow the city. Smaller businesses need a smaller population before they make money. People cards are attracted to the cities by what businesses and other people are already there.

City Manager will retail for $19.95. It will be available in nearly 100 stores around Douglas County, directly from us at Chapel Hill News & Views, and from local organizations, such as Cub Scout Pack 950 that want to use it at a fund raising opportunity. Only 2,500 copies of the game are available, so if you want one, it would be a good idea to get one right away, because no more copies will be made once they run out.

Planning early with skilled and reputable professionals is the key to a successful reception.

Many decisions surrounding the reception hinge on the location you choose. For instance, if you plan to serve champagne, wine or other liquors at the reception, the you probably would not be able to do this inside a church facility.

Another factor to consider in the location is whether the music you have chosen for the reception hours would be approved.

Before getting too far into planning, find out what restrictions or polices are in effect for the use of the facility. Still another factor to consider is the date you have chosen for the wedding and reception. Some reception sites are much more in demand at certain seasons of the year than others. Thus, it is not too early to book a reception site nine to twelve months ahead of the date, especially if you choose a club, hotel, catering hall or restaurant.

Locations. Among common location sites for receptions, in addition to church reception halls, are hotels, restaurants, private clubs or halls. At most of these, a complete catered food service may be available onsite. In many areas, lawns and gardens are popular choices for reception, especially during warm to moderate months of the year. Historical sites and antebellum mansions are other choices in many parts of the country. Some unusual backgrounds might be aboard a yacht, ship or boat, or even on the grounds of a winery or other meaningful spot.

Each facility has different amenities that they offer. Some facilities will offer items ranging from simply tables and chairs to all inclusive wedding options. If a particular site interests you, then ask for a tour of the facility to determine whether it will accommodate our guests and your needs. Check for electrical outlets for the servers and entertainers and also if there are restrictions on the type and ARTICLE CONTINUES ON NEXT PAGE

the Questions you will want to ask before settling on a site are:

You should also ask about fire escape facilities and if there is anything else you should be aware of before you sign a contract.

• What length of time may you use the site?

• Will your party be the only party to use the site that day? If not will there be any interference between the two events?

• Is there an extra fee if you go beyond your contract time?

• Who is the contact person and do you deal exclusively with them?

• When will you be able to get in and begin setting up?

• Will the site accommodate parking, restroom facilities and kitchen needs?

• Does the fee include their clean-up service or do you have to provide this?

• Are tables and chairs provided?

• Is there a dance floor and what is the fee?

• What is the maximum capacity of the site?

Types of Receptions. The key to the type of reception you decide on will depend largely on the time of day you hold it.

For example, an evening reception might necessitate holding a simple buffet meal or even a formal sit-down dinner. In this case, it would usually be held between 6-9pm. A dinner reception is usually the most expensive type of reception due to the cost of the meal and amount of service required.

Depending on the time of day, other choices include a brunch, a buffet luncheon, a tea or cocktail affair, or even simply light refreshments, if held in the afternoon. Morning receptions are often a much smaller affair than a dinner reception and may center on a brunch-type menu. The afternoon or early evening buffet is a popular choice among brides since it offers some of the advantages

of the formal reception but at a much lower cost because minimal table service is required. The variety of foods served and number of guests accommodated can be determined by the reception budget.

Food station buffets are growing in popularity as they offer a different serving area for each type of food provided. Each food station offers a different type of food and can provide guests with different ethnic food alternatives.

Receiving Line. A popular tradition at most weddings is the receiving line, which normally is set up near the entrance to the reception site. This provides the wedding couple an opportunity to greet each guest and for the guests to meet both sets of parents.

Formation of the receiving line traditionally goes as follows: First the bride’s mother, bride’s father, followed by the newlyweds and then the groom’s mother, and finally groom’s father. Some couples choose to have the bridal party participate in the receiving line. If the bridal party is participating in the receiving line they will line up following the groom’s father.

Beautiful Gowns you can afford.

Dances. Many wedding receptions include dancing among the guests. In these cases, an order of dances is normally observed.

This dictates that the first song should be the newlywed couple’s favorite, and they should be the only ones on the dance floor at that time. Lights may be dimmed to give a more romantic effect. The next dance should be the bride with her father, and then the groom with his mother. Some couples choose to have the groom dance along with the mother of the bride during the bride and father’s dance. This is followed by the bride dancing with the father of the groom during the groom and mother’s dance. After the parents dance, the wedding party followed by other guests joins the dancing

Toasts. Among other activities to include at the reception may be toasting the bridal couple, throwing the bouquet and garter, and if used, the order of dances. Traditionally, just before the wedding party is served, the best man may propose a toast to the bride. All present, expect the bride, should rise and drink the toast. After the toast, the groom responds with thanks. Other members of the wedding party may propose toasts. Then the best man may read any telegram or congratulation messages sent to the couple.

Bouquet and Garter. Tossing the bride’s bouquet and garter are traditions often used at the close of wedding receptions.

This could also be done earlier in the reception when more of the guests are present. If these events are to be photographed, make sure to include them in your list for the photographer. Also, if your garter is something that you would prefer to keep, consider having a “throwaway” garter especially for this purpose.

of buying the flowers, ribbon, florist wire, decorative pins and other tools. Your local florist can work within any budget to give you the colors and style you need. Tell your florist the general look and feel of what you want, what colors and what season, and the florist can provide suggestions to help you stick to your budget. Remember: Your florist is your partner!

Timing. Most wedding consultations occur about four to six

By Shala Hainer, co-owner, Frances Florist, 7020 Broad Street, 770-949-8711 Planning a wedding is full of stressful choices, from the dress to the music to the wedding cake. However, there is at least one area of wedding planning that should be joyful and uncomplicated: the wedding flowers. Wedding flowers are one of the most important elements of your big day. Not only do they provide color and scent, but they will live forever in your photographs. Here are some tips to make your meeting with your florist more productive and stress-free.

Budget. Come prepared with your budget in mind. Although some crafty brides prefer to design their own flowers, it doesn’t always save much money when you consider the cost

months prior to the wedding. However, most florists can prepare for your wedding with at least two weeks’ notice if only standard flowers, such as roses, are involved.

Be sure to make an appointment. Most wedding consultations take between one and two hours, so be sure to allow enough time in your schedule. Ask if your florist charges for wedding consultations. Also, ask when a deposit is due – most florists require a deposit to hold the date for you, but it is typically refundable within a certain timeframe.

What to bring. Some brides prefer to start their flower planning once they reach the florist by looking at photos of the florist’s work and bridal guides. Although you don’t have to bring anything with you to your wedding flower consultation, it’s helpful to bring a list of your favorite flowers as well as some you don’t like. Bring pictures of the bridal gown and the bridesmaids’ dresses, as well as a sample of the fabrics being used in those dresses. The color of the bridesmaids’ dresses typically determines the wedding bouquet color palette.

Also, it’s helpful to bring a list of everyone in the wedding party as well as other people involved in the wedding, such as the ring bearer and flower girl, singers, musicians and ushers. Make a list of family members who will need corsages or boutonnieres, such as parents and grandparents.

If you’ve toured your wedding’s location, write down information specific to the venue. Note whether the guests will be sitting on chairs or pews that might require floral decoration. For the reception, it will help your florist to know whether you will be having a buffet meal, a sit-down dinner or finger foods. Make sure to ask your location’s representative about their flower restrictions – many venues don’t allow the flower girl to throw real petals, for example.

Planning your wedding is not a simple task, but planning your flowers doesn’t have to be difficult. With a little forethought and the expertise of a professional florist, the planning process can be as smooth as a silk wedding dress.

CATERING

By Beverly Clements, The Centre @ Arbor Connection, 7475 Douglas Boulevard, 678-231-3195 www.TheArborConnection.com Depending on what type of reception you decide to have, from a cocktail gathering to a five course sit-down meal for 300, a caterer can make or break the event. Therefore, it is best to select the caterer very carefully.

The first step in booking a caterer is to ask friends and family for suggestions. A recent bride or professional consultant may be able to recommend someone. Next, ask the caterer for his or her credentials. A quality caterer should be able to produce, on demand a list of clients who have been pleased with their work. You should only hire a state-licensed caterer who has met all local health department standards and carries the necessary liability insurance. Otherwise, you could be sued if someone gets food poisoning, chips a tooth or chokes and you caterer is uninsured.

Go over menu options with your caterer. Ask about house specialties and foods for these with dietary concerns. Most caterers will

provide potential clients with samples of their work.

Get a list of everything included in the services. Does this include quantities or bar fees? Ask about a security deposit and sales tax too. As a rule, you will want to avoid a caterer who asks for more than a 50% deposit up front. Some caterers charge a flat rate per head, while others charge separately for each item including overtime. For these reasons, you will need to request everything in writing. Many caterers provide their own linens and service utensils. If they do not provide theses, they might work closely with a supplier who does. Regardless, you will want to ask before supplying them yourself. When the big day arrives, you should insist that someone of authority form the catering service be on hand to insure that things run smoothly.

Ultimately, you should let the attitude of the caterer dictate whether or not you hire his services. A caterer who appears over rushed, patronizing, or oblivious of your needs is not someone that you want involved in your event.

By Beverly Clements, The Centre @ Arbor Connection, 7475 Douglas Boulevard, 678-231-3195 www.TheArborConnection.com Many couples choose to offer an open bar at their reception, while others prefer a simple champagne toast. Your options may be limited by the policies of your select reception site, so it is advisable to ask. If you have chosen a hotel or restaurant for your reception, it is likely that they will supply the liquor. However, if you have planned to use a private home or a hall, you may want to offer an open bar where drinks are free as opposed to a cash bar where guests pay for their beverages. A local liquor dealer would be able to help you with your options. Blush or white wines, scotch, bourbons, vodka, rum, cognacs and beer are popular ideas. You may need to consider your guest’s preferences, ages and the food to be served when deciding what to serve. Equipment is another factor to consider.

Club sodas, tonic water and other mixes are needed, as well as garnishes and glassware. Your liquor dealer or beverage caterer may be able to help. For your guests who prefer non-alcoholic alternatives, be sure to have sodas, coffee and juices on supply.

Champagne. Many brides prefer to stick with the traditional champagne only. If this is your choice, be sure to provide enough for everyone. One case of champagne will serve 60 to 80 glasses, depending on the size of the glass. If you choose to provide a champagne fountain, this will require an additional case or two.

Wedding Guide

By Jessica Hocutt, LAMFT, LAPC, Connection Family Counseling, 3138 Golf Ridge Boulevard, 770-364-6561 Getting engaged and planning a wedding can be one of the most exciting times in a couple’s life. All too often though, planning for the wedding can overshadow planning for the marriage.

Prepare/Enrich is a program for pre-marital counseling that can help couples minimize or even avoid some of the common difficulties experienced in many marriages.

Most couples enter marriage with great expectations...breakfast in bed, foot massages, frequent romantic evenings, or a constantly clean home with clean and folded laundry. Unfortunately, these expectations are based on little more than wishes and false beliefs, rather than on actual discussions and agreements. Because our expectations often become assumptions, we begin to assume that our spouse will do things we have never discussed with them, and that they certainly have not agreed to do. It can be shocking to realize how different the reality of marriage is from the expectations going in. This can be a critical point of conflict as you become aware of who your spouse really is, rather than your own beliefs and ideas of who they are. Many couples begin to argue about issues like the climbing mount of dirty dishes falling out of the sink, the overflowing trash can that no one seems to want to take out, who is paying the bills and where the money is coming from. Over time, these conflicts mount and the relationship, which started out fun and easy, becomes stressful and deep wounds may begin to develop.

Prepare/Enrich helps couples minimize or even avoid these problems by guiding them through the process of jointly creating realistic expectations. By working with a Prepare/Enrich counselor, you can solve problems before they occur, such as outlining how chores will be divided, how finances will be handled, how to balance time with family versus time together, as well as expectations for future parenting. After completing the program, you should have a clear picture of how each of these things will be handled, and many more. Prepare/Enrich has been proven to effectively predict the types of couples that will be successful in their marriage and those that need assistance to prevent marital dissatisfaction and potentially divorce. Using this information, your Prepare/Enrich counselor can help you take charge of your marriage before it even begins. As a certified Prepare/Enrich therapist, I encourage all couples to do everything they can before marriage to ensure success after marriage. To learn more about Prepare/Enrich and to find a Prepare/Enrich counselor, visit www.prepareenrich.com..

HIRING A WEDDING PLANNER

By Beverly Clements, The Centre @ Arbor Connection, 7475 Douglas Boulevard, 678-231-3195 www.TheArborConnection. com.

Often the hectic planning and pressures that a wedding can bring are too much for a bride. That is why the idea of hiring a wedding consultant is so appealing. A wedding consultant not only serves as a liaison between you and wedding retailers and service providers but can also provide valuable advice and guidance. Many brides believe that a wedding consultant is just an added expense. It is true that hiring a consultant will add cost, but when you factor in the time saved, as well as the selection of vendors and service providers under their counsel, it is easy to see that a consultant can more than pay for themselves. A wed-

ding consultant knows the ropes and since she has done this hundreds of times, she knows all the right details to make your day truly special.

A good consultant should be able to guide you and make suggestions that enforce your ideas. She should also be able to help you avoid costly mistakes and suggest alternatives. The consultant should be on hand during the rehearsal and ceremony to keep peace while enforcing the bride’s wishes. The hiring of a consultant should be conducted in much the same way you would hire any other wedding service provider. Interview several before making a final selection and be sure to choose one who appears to be on your wavelength. After all, you are trusting this person with your wedding.

Reflections The Value of Time

by Johnnie Ann Gaskill

With a new year looming ahead, I, like most everyone else, am thinking about the subject of time, perhaps due to having been so recently pressed for it due to the demands of the Christmas season, along with various deadlines.

Even throughout the year, I often say, “I wish I had more time!”

Sometimes I moan, “I’ll never get this finished on time!” At such moments, I feel panic rising within, and it seems I can almost hear the ominous ticking of a clock or the turning of a calendar page.

Time is slipping away. I know it. I feel it. I want to hold on to it, but I cannot.

Thus, I need to consider the truths contained in an e-mail someone sent me several years ago. The author, whose name was not given, compared time to money deposited in a bank. He (or she!) wrote, “Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.

Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course.”

The e-mail message continued, “Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.

Every night, it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purposes. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new amount for you. Each day it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use each day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against tomorrow.”

In the concluding paragraphs of the e-mail, the writer presented what I felt were three crucial pieces of advice. (1) Treasure every moment that you have! (2) Invest each one so as to get the utmost in health, happiness, and success! (3) Remember that time waits for no one.

Those instructions go along with the words of Lord Chesterfield.

“Know the value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”

He’s right, isn’t he? Knowing the value of time prevents the wasting of it. Sadly, I must admit, I am not nearly as careful in keeping up with my time as I am with my money. I can’t stand to waste money or to be careless in the handling of it, but spending an hour or so here and there doing meaningless things doesn’t bother me too much unless I’m pressed for time. Then, every moment counts!

Obviously, I need to realize, as someone else did: “Time is more valuable than money because time is irreplaceable.”

Yet, we often fail to realize that until we face a deadline that won’t wait, or say farewell to the old year and welcome to a new one, or deal with a terminal illness with its accompanying best guess for life expectancy. During such times, we recognize that time is valuable, that it can never be reclaimed, and that our best response is to thank God for the time He gives us and to ask Him to help us use wisely the 86,400 seconds He credits to our account each day. © 2010 by Johnnie Ann Burgess Gaskill, www.jgaskill.com

Wrecker Service – See Towing

Julie Hopersberger LOST 50 POUNDS AND CHANGED HER LIFE AND HER BODY.

I was very overweight, unhealthy, and unhappy. I felt completely out of place the first time I walked through the doors. The members and staff at Gold's Gym helped me and encouraged me to keep coming back and from then on I was a group fitness fanatic! I take Group Ride at least twice a week for my cardio and Group Centergy to tone. Recently, my mom joined the gym and we do personal training together. We ran our first half marathon in November. I have more energy than ever and my self-confidence is where it should be. As of today, I have lost close to 50 pounds and could not be happier! Stay connected to us!
