Mill Town Music Hall celebrates 1st year Mill Town Music Hall opened as West Georgia’s largest concert and entertainment venue a year ago on January 28. During its first year, the venue has been home to quality wholesome entertainment covering multiple music genres. Located off I-20 in Bremen (1031 Alabama Avenue), Mill Town Music Hall has most importantly helped revitalize the West Georgia area with a boost in tourism. Opening Mill Town Music Hall was the culmination of a life-long passion for music for its founder Randall Redding, as well as serve as a way for him to ‘glorify God’ and give back to the community in which he was raised. According to Bremen Mayor Sharon Sewell, Mill Town Music Hall has helped revitalize the West Georgia community by bringing people to the area for entertainment that includes dinner and a night in one of the area’s local hotels. Some milestone achievements during its first year in business include: • Hosted – 30 shows and more than 20,000 patrons • First Sold Out Show – The Oak Ridge Boys (Aug. 17, 2012) • Renowned Performers on the Mill Town Music Hall stage in 2012 – Including but not limited to Toby Keith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Alabama, Ricky Skaggs, Mel Tillis, Greater Vision, John Berry, and The Atlanta Rhythm Section • Nationally recognized musicals: “Veggie Tales Live!” and “Smoke on the Mountain” • Kicked off the plans for the Harold Shedd Music Mill Gallery – Plans are underway to open a non-profit extension of the venue to serve as a tourist attraction which celebrates music history connected to the state of Georgia. This new venue is scheduled to open Spring 2013. • Event Planning – As the largest space of its kind in the West Georgia area, the venue held a variety of events for corporations and individuals, such as parties and weddings. The venue also acts as a perfect environment for fundraising and/ or host venue for conferences. As a permanent fixture for the venue, the Purpose Center runs the concession and raises money for its ministry and The Church at Chapel Hill hosts its weekly services at the facility. Annual events have included BRIDGE Fest (the West Georgia area fight against drugs), as well as other community events such as Grow Haralson Community Planning session for Haralson County.

Photography Tips

By Mandie Newsom, owner of Captured, by Mandie

Newsom, www.mandienewsom.com, 770.570.9247 It’s just after the holiday season, and I’m sure many of you received a new DSLR camera for Christmas. You were excited to get a “good” camera and take better pictures. You may have taken it out of the box and taken a few shots. You may realize that your images look better than they did with your point and shoot, but still aren’t what you’d like for them to be. How do you get those crisp, clear, and awesome photos? I’m here to help you with

By Zach Green

that! First of all, let’s start with what a DSLR is. Digital Single Lens Reflex camera means that your camera captures light that travels through the lens and uses a mirror to reflect that light through the view finder. You can see the image that is captured on your camera’s sensor through the view finder. Your camera has a dial with various shooting modes. I’ll review some of those shooting modes with you now. My ultimate goal is to get you to try them all and eventually start shooting your camera manually. For now, let’s start with basic shooting modes: Auto - your camera sets your shutter speed, aperture, white balance, and ISO for you. It even triggers your pop-up flash if you have one.

By Regina Marrone

By Katherine Tovey

Program (P) - semi automatic setting. The camera controls most of the settings, but you control ISO, white balance, and flash. Aperture Priority (A or Av) - you have control over setting the aperture, which is the amount of light that comes through the lens and depth of field. Shutter Priority (S or TV) - you have control over shutter speed which helps to freeze subjects on the move. Manual (M) - you have complete control over all of your camera settings and can adjust your settings according to lighting factors. Send any questions you may have to mandie@mandienewsom. com and I’ll try to answer them all and may use one of them for a future article. Until next month, read your camera’s manual and go have fun taking pictures! Practice makes perfect!

Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 now law; Fiscal Cliff compromise makes significant changes Courtesy of T. Dennis Connally Consultant, P.C.,

Certified Public Accountant, 8483 Campbellton Street,

770.920.2890, tdconnally.com

In what undeniably came down to the wire in the early hours of January 1, 2013, the Senate passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, along with many other provisions, permanently extends the so-called Bush-era tax cuts for individuals making under $400,000 and families making under $450,000 (those above those thresholds now pay at a 39.6 percent rate). The House followed with passage late in the day on January 1; and President Obama signed the bill into law on January 2. Thus, the more than decade-long fight over the fate of the tax cuts, originally enacted under the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA), accel-

• Deductions for state and local sales taxes; • Research credits; • Energy-efficiency credits for homes and vehicles; and • Many more provisions. Unfortunately, the new law is also significant in what it does not do in one important respect. It does not renew the so-called payroll tax holiday that had been in effect during 2011 and 2012. As a result, employees and self-employed individuals will be paying 2 percent more employment tax on their earnings up to the Social Security wage base (which is up to $113,700 for 2013). Finally, the American Taxpayer Relief Act also includes extensions of provisions that expired at the end of 2011, but now apply to the 2012 tax year. That means it has immediate effect on the 2013 filing season. The landscape of federal tax law has changed once again, and with it the need to reassess present tax strategies.

erated under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (JGTRRA) and extended by Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (2010 Tax Relief Act) comes to an end. Prelude to the Fiscal Cliff On May 26, 2001, Congress passed the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA). The legislation was hailed as the largest tax cut in 20 years and dramatically changed the landscape of the federal tax code. Two years later, the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (JGTRRA) was signed into law and accelerated many of the tax cuts set in motion under EGTRRA. Originally scheduled to sunset, or expire, after December 31, 2010, Congress extended these popular provisions for another two years in late 2010 with the passage of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. In 2010, Congress acted before the end of the year to extend the cuts. At the end of 2012, Congress and President Obama engaged in intense negotiations over the “fiscal cliff,” a term that came to combine many federal laws that had a deadline of December 31, 2012, including the Bush-era tax cuts. Congress then passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on New Year’s Day, 2013, effectively averting the fiscal cliff. What Does This Mean for You? The new law extends a majority of the Bush-era tax cuts in the same form as they have existed since 2001 or 2003 when initially enacted. However, major exceptions include a rise in rates, including a maximum 20 percent on capital gains and dividends, on higher-income individuals, as described above, and an increase in the estate tax rate from 35 to 40 percent. In addition to a general extension of the tax rates, many other provisions, including some not affected by the sunset of the Bush-era tax cuts, are significantly or permanently extended, including: • Marriage penalty relief; • Inflation protection against the alternative minimum tax (AMT); • Deductions for student loan interest and tuition and fees; • Enhanced child tax and child and dependent care credits;

As soon as I read that, I began to think about “little practices of love,” about words and actions that seem insignificant at the time, yet can change lives. For example, here’s a very short list (and in no particular order) of the “little practices of love” that have greatly impacted my life: A friend who, after hearing me say again and again, I’d like to do

Young local resident collecting supplies for sewing ministry in Pignon, Haiti Hayden Robinson, of Douglasville, who is a junior at The Heritage School in Newnan is collecting donations of sewing supplies to include sewing notions of any sort, cotton fabric, trim, buttons, remnants, etc. to send to a sewing ministry in Pignon, Haiti. Sewing represents a skill the uneducated rural women can participate in. This helps them augment their meager incomes, as well as provide clothes for their own families. The goal is to teach a large group of women to sew, and then to establish a sewing factory where they can make clothes to be sold in local markets-something that is vital to the growth of their own economy. So far, the sewing ministry has been very effective and successful. Also, if anyone has or knows anyone that has an old treadle sewing machine (condition can be rough) that they would like to donate, those are needed as well. For these desperately poor women, the cost of a sewing machine is out of the question. And because there is no electricity in the countryside, the old treadle sewing machines are perfect. Please, no clothing as the government is particular about what is accepted into the country. You may drop off any sewing items at 6225 Hedgestone Way, Douglasville. This is the Glen Laurel subdivision off of Big A road near 166. A collection box will be on the front porch. You can also call for pickup at 770.639.7334. The trip to Haiti will be February 21, so donations are needed as soon as possible.

[this or that], but…,” loved me enough to speak the truth in love and with her characteristic gentleness: “Johnnie, get rid of the but’s.” Although she said that many years ago, her words still come to mind whenever I offer “reasons” why I can’t do a certain thing. They nudge me to do what I need to do and what, in fact, Ican do—once I get rid of the but’s. An editor who had published some photos I’d taken of local events passed along to me the invitation she’d received to take a hot air balloon ride at The Rock Ranch. Although I was (and still am) terrified of heights, I accepted the once-in-a-lifetime invitation and made a beautiful memory. That experience proved I can do things I never dreamed I could. This list could go on and on and on. But let me return to Mother Teresa’s belief that “little practices of love”…make us more like Christ. Let’s take a look at how He practiced love so often, not just when He made the supreme sacrifice by dying on the cross in the place of sinners such as you and me. He took time to talk with the children, as well as the adults, who drew near to Him. He visited in the homes of people who weren’t socially accepted. He responded to the cries of beggars and the brokenhearted. He fed the hungry and healed the sick…. Yes, His was a life of love, expressed day after day in various ways. As we follow His example, we do become more like Him, so much so that others will say, “I can truly see Jesus in you.” 2013 by Johnnie Ann Burgess Gaskill, who may be contacted via her

more important that being able to explain it.

The truth is that church or our religious beliefs don’t really matter at all

The Family Connection Show Them Your Faith By Kerry Patuka, a degreed and certified educator, licensed minister and founder of Drive 5 Ministries, a ministry for churches and children’s ministry. kerrydrive5@yahoo.com

Do you want to raise kids who have a deep,

unless parents are living out their faith on a daily basis. Our kids are postmodern thinkers, which basically means they live by the motto ‘if it works, it’s true’. They have to see that our faith is alive, real and working for us. They need to see your heart for Him. If they see our love for God, if they see our faith in action and if they see us living our life for Him everyday, they will notice.

Next month we’ll look at living at our faith in practical ways.

real faith? Do you want them to have a heart to follow and serve God? Well, then it doesn’t matter which church you attend. In fact, the quality of the children’s ministry isn’t very important and going every week doesn’t make much of an impact.

Sounds shocking, doesn’t it? Research from the Barna Group, the Search Institute and others show that parents are the number one influencers of their children’s faith. Of course, I don’t mean that church doesn’t matter, but I hope I got your attention.

The Search Institute’s internationally study With Their Own Voices found that 44% of youth indicated that their families were the one’s who helped them the most with their spiritual development, while only 14% chose their church as the biggest influencer. Sadly, 18% stated that no one helps them with their spiritual lives.

Dr. Christian Smith did in-depth research for his book Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers. He concluded that “most teenagers and their parents may not realize it, but a lot of research in the sociology of religion suggests that the most important social influence in shaping young people’s religious lives is the religious life modeled and taught to them by their parents.”

So how are we as parents doing? The Search Institute did a nationwide study, Effective Christian Education. They found that 1 out of 8

kids regularly talk to their mom about faith and only 1 out of 20 have faith conversations with their dad. Considering the fact that we are their number one faith influencers, those statistics aren’t very good and I have to admit I’m curious about the quality of those conversations. It seems that many parents fall into the default questions after church: Did you have fun? What was the lesson? What did you think of the sermon? How was kid’s church / youth group? Asking questions can be helpful, but many kids respond with default one-word answers: Fine. Jesus. OK. The usual. I’m thinking that these default conversations are not life-changing, faith-building moments for our kids.

The Australian National Church Life Survey report Social Influences Upon Faith Development also found that parents are the main faith influencers, but they also looked at how are they making this impact on their kids. 68% of youth were impacted by their parents faith in God, 53% by the way their parents lived out their faith, 30% by how they cared for people in general and 30% by how they cared for their offspring. Only 19% identified their parents’ ability to explain faith as important. In other words, how their faith is lived within the family is

Nail Care Pointers

By Jeanne Grace Curtis, Nails Your Way, 770.949.3113, nailsyourway.com

Beautiful Nails for Special Occasions Special occasions spark excitement and joy. Creative nail treatments are perfect for any occasion when romance is in the air – weddings, Valentine’s Day, graduation, birthdays, and anniversaries. Wedding preparations always include choosing a meaningful gift for those lovely bridesmaids. Creative nail services make excellent gifts that say thank you in a very caring way. Manicure and pedicure services give the hands and feet what they need to feel healthy and attractive for those important dates ahead. Lavender and grapeseed oil wax dips will help soften, smooth and hydrate dry hands and peeling cuticles. And nothing is as soothing as Lavender and grapeseed oil warm wax dips for heels that are left cracked and split from being cooped up in shoes for months. Non-damaging nail enhancements make excellent nail choices for the bride and bridesmaids. Non-damaging enhancements are soaked off safely after two weeks without any painful prying or damaging electric drilling. French is a popular choice of nail polish for weddings. French polish gives the illusion of longer nails. Brides look exceptionally pretty in French nails delicately decorated with lace nail art. Wedding-day lace nails can beautifully complement any gown style. Adding a

little sparkle to the wedding French white with nail art such as roses, butterflies, gold charms or rhinestones can make the fingers and toes say, “I’m ready for our special romantic time together”. White is a symbol of purity. White also signifies joy and celebration – especially when colorful glitter is added to create dazzling nuptial nails. Nails painted to match the color of the bridesmaid’s dresses make a beautiful fashion statement. Blue, lavender or green color polish with white French tipped toes encourages the bride to dance her way to happiness. Old-world customs called for the wedding party to bathe the bride and groom’s feet to prepare them to walk down the path of life together. Add a new tradition to your wedding that insures the groom is not left out: the groom’s pre-matrimony manicure and pedicure. With his smooth hands and gleaming clean nails, the groom will be able to say, “I do,” with pride as the bride slips the ring on his finger. Traditions are an important part of every wedding day. Traditions can be made fresh and exciting with creative nail fashion. Brides of the past have shown their love, modesty, and fidelity to their betrothed by wearing something blue. For today’s wedding ceremonies, even the most formal bride can have a little fun with shades of blue nail polish. Make an appointment today at your favorite nail salon to have your nails beautified for your wedding, anniversary, Valentine, birthday, graduation, or any other special romantic occasion.

Your Health How Long Can You Expect to Live? By Dr. Awais Butt, Planet Chiropractic, 2173 Fairburn Road, 770.783.1799, myplanetchiro.com, mychiro@myplanetchiro.com The world’s population is quickly changing and thanks to public hygiene we are living longer than ever before. It has been projected, by the US Census Bureau, that there will be a 746% increase in people that are 100 or older by the year 2040. The Lancet, a British medical journal, says more than half of all the babies born since 2000 can be expected to live over 100 years of age. How long can you expect to live? Dr. Eric Plasker, author of the best seller ‘100 year lifestyle’, has created an amazing formula to help answer this question. Dr. Plasker named this formula M-PYR™: Minimum Potential Years Remaining. It is an estimated measurement of how long a person will live. The formula is the age of your oldest grandparent ever’s age minus your current age. The number you get is your M-PYR or the Minimum Potential Years remaining. So for example for 40 year old person’s oldest grandparent lived to the age of 90 than that 40 year old has the potential of living another 50 years. The M-PYR is revolutionary for people that are not making their health a priority. In our community most peo- Continues on page 48

Personal Trainer This New Year: Resolve to Take the Time to Change Your Life By Leslie Austin. Leslie 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 There comes a time for each of us, whether it is through a sickness, a divorce, a death of someone close to us, a financial hardship,

In the New Year, we’ll make resolutions. We’ll fail at some, and we’ll succeed at some. But one thing is for sure: the ability to make a resolution to change our lives through activity is within our grasp and the many results are “ripe for the picking”. If you have never been involved in a consistent exercise program, or if it has been years since you have been active, the clock is ticking. The decision to start an exercise program will be one of the most powerful decisions that you will make.

or some other crisis, that we will each say, “It’s time. It’s time for a change. It’s time to find out who I really am, who I really can be, and it’s time to take my life to a level that I have never known before. It’s time for a new me.” As an owner in a health and fitness facility, I am privileged to get to witness these great changes in peoples’ lives on a regular basis (I have often said that aside from the ministry--and I was a young adult Sunday School teacher for twelve years--the health and fitness business makes more of a difference in peoples’ lives than any business I can think of). When people walk in the door and tell us that they are ready to see what they can do with themselves physically, they are seldom prepared for what will happen emotionally when they commit themselves to an exercise program. In fact, recent clinical research has shown that exercise is often as effective as therapy for improving the lives of patients who are suffering from depression. Additionally, exercise has been found to have dramatic effects on the lives of persons who live with illnesses from anxiety to diabetes and from high blood pressure to insomnia. It is the closest thing there is to a “magic bullet” for dealing with the physical and emotional difficulties of life. It simply “works”, but it takes you or me making a decision to make a change. It takes us saying, “I’m ready—it’s time.” But, we say, we don’t have time. Or we say that we don’t have the energy. Or we say that we have too many other pressing needs or we have too many other people counting on us and too many other commitments in our lives, and those are true. And, they always will be true. They always will be until we rise above our busy schedules and our commitments and our fears and our disbelief in ourselves and say, “It’s time.” Because time and convenience won’t come to us, we must meet them halfway. They won’t come to us when “things settle down” or “the kids get in college” or “when we get a better job with better hours” or even when “we retire”. So if we want to begin an exercise program, then we set our daring goal and we begin looking at how responsibilities and events in our lives can be positioned to allow our goals to come to fruition. We start looking at the possibilities of what could happen for ourselves and the people in our lives through the achievement of these goals--and we start looking at how we can make choices to facilitate our starting and progressing into this new, exciting, rewarding chapter of our lives. We simply begin because the momentum of our decision that “it’s time” pushes us forward in a bold, unstoppable way. It’s time.

project plan this can be kept to a minimum. Lastly, you need to recognize when you might be in over your head and call a professional.

Make Sure to Develop a Plan

By Kate Wright, who owns Bloom’n Gardens Landscape. She is a degreed Botanist, Certified Arborist, and Certified Pesticide Applicator, & Georgia Certified Landscape Professional, www.bloomngardens.com • 404.314.1474 What is it about a new year that makes us all want to change the things around us? It has been thirty days since we closed out 2012 and we are all in the swing of things for 2013. Many of our resolutions are long forgotten, but if you are like me at least one has still stuck. For me, I am in a renovation mood. I spend so much time in the outdoors, my interiors sometimes get neglected, and so I am scrubbing, painting and making some general updates all over the house. My “big” project I am working on right now is wainscoting my dining room. It took me two weeks just to decide what I wanted to do and develop my project plan. Whether your project is inside or outside, a project plan is essential in making sure things go smoothly and on budget. For me, I do project plans all the time in the form of estimates I give my customers, so this is nothing new. If you plan to do a project yourself, you may be in such a hurry to get started you eliminate this valuable step. This could be a big mistake. Without a plan, you often lose focus, spend too much money or waste too much valuable time. How do you create a project plan? Let’s take the scenario of Mrs. Smith: she plans to update her front entry to include replacing a broken up concrete walkway with new pavers and replacing the foundation plantings. Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith are pretty handy and figure that they can complete the project in two weekends (time estimate). Mrs. Smith spends some time on Houzz. com to look for examples of projects she likes while Mr. Smith gets all of his measurements and reads up on specific techniques needed. Next, they need to list out all of their materials that will be needed to complete the work and then source them out so they are aware of the costs and where to get them. It is really important to iron out all of the materials needed so that you are not surprised by any added costs. Before project day begins Mr. Smith gathers all of the tools and materials he needs to complete the project to eliminate any last minute trips to the big-box store. Mrs. Smith reserved the equipment they needed from the tool rental store and called the nursery to schedule the plant delivery. On the day the project began they were ready to go, got things completed on time and within budget, with very little frustration. More often than not things don’t always go so smoothly. You really

instead. What is the difference between a goal and a resolution? A goal is written down; measurable; and has a deadline for completion. Mistake 2: Going Shopping First Ok, we’ve made the decision to get organized…now what? Well, unfortunately for most of us it means a trip to the local big-box store. It would be interesting to know how many plastic tubs, containers and file folders stores like Wal-Mart, Target and Office Depot sell in January. I dare say it makes up a large percentage of their sales for these items for the entire year. When you do this (I call it “putting the cart before the horse”) all you end up creating is more clutter. When you start an organizing project purchasing containers, drawer dividers and file folders is way down on your list of priorities. Purging, sorting and deciding where you’re going to store) your stuff comes way ahead of the fun part – shopping. Mistake 3: Allowing Yourself to Get Overwhelmed Getting organized can be a daunting task, if you decide it has to be completed the first Saturday in January. Once the decision has been made to get organized, you need to set appointments on your calendar and treat them with the same respect you would give any other appointment. In other words, once the appointment is made – keep it! Anyone can get organized 15 minutes at a time. I know because that is how I organized my own home several years ago and it’s how I maintain order today. I have also seen this work with many of my clients. Set a timer for 15 minutes and work as fast and furious as you can. When the 15 minutes is up - stop. Later (either that same day or several days) set the timer for 15 minutes and do the same thing again. Remember, small steps! Life didn’t get disorganized overnight and it’s not going to get organized overnight. Maybe you’ve made one or all three of these mistakes, that’s ok! Thankfully, God orchestrated time so that every day is a new beginning so get up, brush yourself off and start again. You can do this!

Native Plant Society meetings The West Georgia Chapter of the Native Plant Society holds meetings six times a year with the intent of spreading knowledge about native plants and their importance in our landscape. By joining, you will have access to a wide array of information from the website, as well as from seasoned native plant enthusiasts. Programs featuring speakers, power point presentations for plant identification, and information about endangered species. The next public meeting will be in February. The group meets on the third Tuesday of each even numbered month. You can learn more by www.wgawildflowers.org.

Pet Set Pet Care Tip What Diseases Do Fleas Cause?

By Dixie Popham - Owner, Pet Set Grooming, 3313 Highway 5 Across from Publix, 770.949.0579 You may think that these tiny pests only make your pet do a little scratching and itching, but fleas actually cause a number of diseases, some of which can be fatal. By not protecting your pets from fleas, you are exposing them and yourself to severe health risks. Here are some of the diseases your pet could contract:

pet’s intestines, causing weight loss, vomiting, and irritation. Flea Allergy Dermatitis All it takes is one bite from a flea to cause Flea Allergy Dermatitis, leading to hot spots and extreme itchiness for your pet. Dog hot spots are infected patches of circular skin that could soon become a big wound if your pet continues to itch and bite at it. Even your dog’s tongue licking the wound spreads the bacteria around. If your dog has a hot spot, you should take them to see your vet as soon as possible. Haemobartonellosis While usually transmitted by ticks, haemobartonellosis can also be carried by fleas. The disease targets red blood cells and can range

Cat Scratch Disease While Cat Scratch Disease usually does not affect cats in a negative way, it puts their owners at risk. Fleas transmit CSD from one cat to another, and close to 40% of cats will carry this disease at some time in their lives. Humans get CSD when infected flea feces on a cat’s claws or fur is transmitted from the pet to their owner through a bite, lick, or scratch. CSD can cause fever, headaches, and fatigue in humans, as well as make those with a weakened immune system seriously ill. Tapeworms

from mild to very severe symptoms. If very severe, haemobartonellosis can cause cats to suffer anemia that results in weight loss and a fast heart rate. In some cases, infected cats have been observed eating dirt, and without treatment, cats can die from this disease. Haemobartonellosis is most likely to affect dogs who have had their spleens removed. It can cause loss of appetite and weight loss for our canine friends. What’s the best way to keep your pet from suffering from any of

Canongate Corner

How to Get Your Golf Game (and Body) Ready for Spring By Charlie Moller, Regional Manager with Canongate Golf Clubs. He has been in the Atlanta golf industry for 26 years. cmoller@ canongategolf.com Flexibility is very important when it comes to playing good golf, as well as protecting yourself from injury. As we get older the important moves in the golf swing become harder to make as we lose flexibility. It becomes more important to stretch and the wintertime is a great time to start or maintain a routine that will get you ready for the spring. There are a few areas of the body that must remain somewhat flexible to provide a consistent powerful swing. The back, shoulders, hip joints and wrists are particularly important. Your back muscles must remain strong as they support the core of the body. The core is one of the main power sources of the golf swing. One of the best exercises for your back is the knee-to-chest exercise. Lie on your back and slowly bring one knee up toward your chest

arm over your chest and hold your right elbow with your left hand. Pull your elbow close to your body to stretch your right shoulder. Hold for 10 seconds and then perform the exercise with your left arm. The other great thing you can do is to swing a weighted club all winter. This will keep your back, shoulders, wrists and hips loose and also keep you stronger to support your swing and increase flexibility and club head speed. It will also keep your swing in rhythm as you will have to swing slowly to keep the momentum going. Try some of these exercises or start a program with your trainer at the gym to get your game ready for spring. The warm spring weather will be here before we know it and you will want to get started on the right track. You will play better golf and keep yourself healthier as well.

Psychologist Corner

Helping Children Cope with Traumatic News Events

new foster parents meets at 6pm the third Thursday of every month at 8473 Duralee Lane in Douglasville. Interested families are invited to attend. Call 770.947.7547 for more information.

By Rebecca S. Blakeman, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist - Adolescent Child Specialty Services, 3138 Golf Ridge Blvd., Douglasville, 404.310.1161, rblakemanphd@yahoo.com Sadly, it is not uncommon for tragic and even unexplainable events to happen in our world. With today’s 24/7 news coverage both on TV and on the internet, it can be impossible to shield children from many of these events. Because of this, and because shielding children will not help prepare them to be healthy adults, it is important that parents respond to these situations with a focus on how to help their children cope with the news. When deciding how to handle tragic events with your child, first and foremost consider their age and maturity level. An immature eight year old may not be able to process and handle the same information that a six year old can, depending on their maturity level. It is best to err on the side of caution and respond as if your child can handle less than expected for their age, rather than burdening a child with information that is really more appropriate for an older individual (even if your child seems quite mature). If at all possible, try to be the one who tells your child about the tragic events. Do not try to avoid it and ‘hope’ that they will not hear about it. Tell your child in simple terms what happened, but do not feel the need to be overly detailed, as too many details can be overwhelming, and can add to fear. For most children, it will be most appropriate for them not to watch any news stories or read any news stories about the event; if they are interested in watching/ reading more news, preview it first (to ensure it is not overly detailed and traumatizing) and watch/read it with your child, so that you can discuss it with them immediately. Let your child know that they can ask as many questions as they want, and that you will do your best to answer their questions. If you do not know the answer to their questions, be honest and say, “I don’t know.” As soon as you tell your child about the event, or learn that they are aware of the event, begin helping them cope with the news. Find as many positives about the situation as you can. For example, focus on those who came to the rescue, such as police officers and firemen. Point out the smart thinking of those in the situation that helped keep others safe (e.g., teachers taking quick action to hide children). Discuss the fact that these scary events are actually quite uncommon, and the chance that something like that would happen to your child is extremely unlikely. In the case of school violence, point out the things that their school does to help ensure that they are safe. If you have religious beliefs that provide comfort in these situations, share that with your children (e.g., the belief that those who died went immediately to heaven, are no longer suffering, and will one day be reunited with their family).

The health monitor is an unlicensed employee who is trained in basic first aid and medication administration. If your child has a chronic medical illness or condition which may require treatment or monitoring at school (diabetes, seizures, severe asthma, sickle cell disease, etc.) please inform your school’s health monitor. They will arrange an appointment with one of our school RNs to assist in developing a care guide for your student. You have been asked to complete a health information form for your child. Please insure you complete this form and return it to school as soon as possible. This form provides us with valuable information should your child become ill and/or injured while at school. Please

While we like to see students healthy and attending school regularly, we recognize that at times it may be more appropriate for students to remain home when they are ill. If your student has a fever, as well as other signs of illness such as nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, coughing, aches, congestion, fatigue, unexplained rashes, etc. it may be more appropriate for them not to return to school until the signs/ symptoms of illness have resolved.

Orientation for New Foster Parents The Douglas County Family and Children Services Orientation for new foster parents meets at 6pm the third Thursday of every month

Character Word of the Month

Loyalty

at 8473 Duralee Lane in Douglasville. Interested families are invited to attend. Call 770.947.7547 for more information.

By Ann Jones Guider, Chair, Community Character Coalition of Douglas County Loyalty is the character trait to be spotlighted for February. When we say we are “loyal” to someone, we need to know for what we are committing. Synonyms for loyalty are faithfulness, devotion, allegiance, trustworthiness, dependability and reliability, just to mention a few. The first level of loyalty that pops in most of our minds is that which is extended to our family. Although not always expressed and demonstrated, most of us are loyal to our spouses and our children, our mothers and fathers, and our brothers and sisters. That is where our loyalty should start….with family. We should also be loyal to our country and the Constitution on which it is founded. We all know that our country is becoming more and more divided on many fronts…social matters, political parties, religious beliefs, etc., and we often find that we become so entrenched in “going along” with certain groups, we forget our own beliefs, faith and foundation. The great Mark Twain once wrote “My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one’s country, not to...its office holders.” Our loyalty to our country should be in accordance to the foundation laid out and established by our Founding Fathers, who struggled to arrive at the Republic they gave us. However, loyalty extends even further...what about to your employer or boss? Elbert Hubbard, philosopher, author, and publisher once wrote, “If you work for a man, in heaven’s name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him - speak well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents.” How many folks do you know who follow that advice today? Loyalty really has no limitation; it should be extended much, much further: friends, teammates, schools, teachers, service workers and community as a whole.

Valentine’s Day MORE THAN JUST ROSES

By Shala Hainer, Frances Florist, 7020 Broad Street, 770.949.8711 Ever since doomed St. Valentine sent a love note and rose to

his beloved from his jail cell in ancient Rome, roses and cards have been the traditional Valentine’s Day gifts. Although roses never go out of style, this year consider a more creative, unique and personal slant to your Valentine’s gifts.

Consider sending bouquets that showcase other romantic flowers, such as carnations, iris or tulips. Carnations often share a rich, almost spicy scent and offer a multitude of interesting color choices, such as orange, green and lavender. Iris is becoming more popular as a Valentine favorite, with its elegant long stems and blooms filled with spectacular color. Tulips, missing from the scene all winter, are finally available again by Valentine’s Day. Their graceful, cup-shaped flowers are available in many colors. These flowers are often thought to symbolize rebirth or new beginnings, so they are ideal for a blossoming relationship or one that could use a breath of fresh air. Orchids make a beautiful, showy arrangement for less money than you might think. Also think about sending a fresh-flower arrangement that incorporates some of the popular Valentine flowers mixed with others such as fragrant stargazer lilies or cheerful daisies. Mixed arrangements provide you with the most flowers for your money and will suit any room in her home. If you still decide on roses, consider sending a rose that matches her personality. Red is most recognized as being the symbol of true love, but pink symbolizes romantic love and white is innocent love. Mix the colors for a unique and personalized arrangement. Roses also come in more vibrant colors, such as orange or pink with red tip for the woman who likes to stand out. When in doubt, try matching the rose color to her purse – at least you know she’ll like the color. Let’s not forget our favorite men on Valentine’s Day! Your local florist can deliver not just flowers, but also gifts perfectly appropriate for men. Think about sending a plant or dish garden that can bring some life to his workplace.

It is very likely that the main thing that

your future husband will remember the most from his wedding day will be the sight of you, coming down the aisle in your wedding gown. It is indeed a major purchase, and one that requires a great deal of thought. Although traditionally, the white wedding gown was reserved for brides who were marrying for the first time, today white can be worn by anyone. The majority of gowns today are either white or a shade of ivory such as cream or candlelight. Several things to consider before you start to shop for your wedding gown that could affect your decision are: • Any restriction that your church may have regarding attire; for example, low-cut gowns, short skirts, etc. • Consider your figure. You want a gown that compliments you and draws attention to your best features. • Start your wedding gown search by establishing a budget. Try to be realistic and don’t forget to include any related accessories that

waist with a full skirt will show off your figure without revealing your hips. Full figured brides should avoid fabrics that stick to your body and choose a “V” or “U” shaped neckline. Brides with narrow shoulders may find an above neckline style more comfortable. Also sleeves that gather at the top will provide more coverage. Petite brides should shy away from drop-waist dresses and look for a controlled full waist instead. Seams or lace that run lengthwise will give shorter brides a taller appearance.

Veils & Headpieces

The veil stands

as a symbol of the bride’s passage from being single to being married. While some brides forgo having a headpiece at all, if you do decide to wear one, remember to coordinate it with your dress. For example, if your dress is short, you veil should be too. It should generally be the same color and style as your gown. Typically an elaborate gown would call for an elaborate headpiece. Headpiece options range from delicate flowers or a simple piece of lace, to a sheer illusion fabric or even a circlet of pearls. It is important

A recent bride or professional consultant may be able to recommend someone. Next, ask the caterer for his or her credentials.

Regardless, you will want to ask before supplying them yourself. When the big day arrives, you should insist that someone of authority from the catering service be on hand to insure that things run smoothly. You may also ask that the staff increase or decrease the services based on your guests’ needs.

THE

Baker No wedding is complete without

a wedding cake. A symbol of a couple’s fertility and abundance, the cake has played a part in weddings since ancient times. It is also perhaps the one aspect of the reception that guests look forward to the most. For this reason, it is important that you shop carefully for your baker. Begin your quest for a baker at least four months before your wedding. Flip through bridal magazines, attend different weddings and visit area bakeries to get a feel for the types of cakes available. A traditional wedding cake consists of three tiers and is made of white cake with frosted butter cream icing. However, more contemporary brides are choosing cakes made of chocolate, lemon, carrot, bananas and raspberry. You can also combine flavors such as chocolate cake with fresh raspberries, yellow cake with chocolate mousse filling or hazelnut cake with pistachio meringues. All can be frosted with the traditional white butter cream frosting.

TYPES OF

CEREMONIES

By Beverly Clements, The Centre @ Arbor Connection, 7475 Douglas Boulevard, 678.231.3195 www.TheArborConnection.com Although the type of ceremony you choose is largely up to you, couples usually try to plan around religious guidelines. Most couples seem to prefer to be married by a clergy person, but if there is no religious affiliation of the couple, then a chaplain, judge or some other qualified person may be used. The choice of most couples is somewhere between the traditional

ceremony and an ultra-contemporary ritual. Other than obtaining the marriage license and a licensed clergyman or officiant, there are probably few legal aspects to fulfill. In almost any type of ceremony, however, the site, music, lighting and decorations all play a special role in creating a romantic and memorable mood. Planning ahead, delegating responsibility to others and taking care of details in the right time frame will be most helpful in bringing about a relaxed and joyful ceremony. Several common elements go into planning a very formal wedding ceremony, including the bridal gown, several attendants, engraved invitations, a formal wedding portrait, floral displays and a large reception dinner, either seated or buffet. In this case, the wedding attire would be very formal. The bride would usually wear a formal gown with a cathedral train, and the groom’s formalwear would include either a cutaway cost for daytime or full dress tails for evening, with a white pique shirt, vest and bow tie. Included in the formal ceremony would likely be four to twelve attendants, one or two flower girls, a ring bearer, two pages and at least one usher for every 50 guests. Obviously, a very formal wedding would be the most expensive type ceremony. A formal wedding ceremony would include many of the same details as the very formal, but usually on a smaller scale. In this type ceremony, the bride and bridesmaids might be attired much as for a formal ceremony, but the groom and his attendants would usually wear less formal attire, such as peak lapel or notch lapel tuxedos. The most popular style is the formal wedding. Many brides and grooms choose a semi-formal wedding, which gives more leeway in almost every aspect of choices. Often the ceremony and reception are held at the same location for semi-formal weddings. Invitations need not be the engraved type, and response cards are not usually sent for semi-formal events. Fewer attendants are enlisted for both the bride and groom, and there is a wider range of choices in almost every aspect of the semi-formal wedding. The cost of semi-formal weddings usually is less than the very formal or formal, but it may not be much of a difference. Informal weddings, which are quite popular among many age groups today, are usually the choice for second marriages. Less formal attire is in order, and for the bride may even involve an ankle-length dress or suit in white or pastel. For the groom, a black tuxedo, a suit or even a sport coat and tie would be proper. Invitations may be engraved or as simple as a handwritten note. The site for the informal ceremony could be almost anywhere, although many couples still choose a religious location. The number of guests can range from a few close relatives and friends to a larger crowd. Informal weddings are usually the least expensive and can be planned in a much shorter time than any other type. When meeting with your clergyman of officiant, check to see if there are any restrictions against such things as secular music, throwing rice or birdseed, use of candles and any unusual decorations. Knowing ahead of time which regulations must be abided by can save a lot of stress and hassle. For instance, many churches no longer permit the throwing of rice, which was used for years and years, because it kills birds if they eat it. However the throwing of birdseed is commonly accepted. Music is an important aspect of the wedding ceremony and sets the mood for guests and relaxes the wedding party. As soon as you have chosen a wedding date and a site, begin to plan for your music. Prelude music is normally played while guests are being seated. If photographs are taken prior to the ceremony, many couples prefer to begin seating guests about a half hour prior to the beginning of the wedding. A processional march is the usual choice to introduce the wedding party, with a finale played as the bride and her father or escort make their entrance and proceed to the altar. There are many suitable types of music, ranging from piano and organ to harp, violin, or even a string quartet. Many brides like to incorporate vocal selections by one or more soloists. Some churches may require that you use hymnals that could be appropriate. In almost any location for a wedding some decorations such as candles, flowers and greenery would be in order to designate the altar. Most brides like the closeness and romanticism that candles and greenery add to a ceremony. In most areas, rental stores exist where such things as candles, candle holders and candelabrum may be chose for a reasonable fee. Most florists offer a complete wedding line of flowers and are glad to confer with you on your preferences along with seasonal and hard to find flowers. It may be wise to call ahead for a consulting appointment.

Marketplace Ministry Tip

By Rob Streetman, inLight Consulting, www.in-

LightConsulting.com In last month’s tip, I encouraged you to consider your profession/business within the bigger picture of your purpose in life. You may have discovered that this is easier said than done. I’m right there with you. Changing our mindset is a certainly a challenge. I promise you it is worth the effort. Turning inside-out the way you think about purpose and career will set you free to live a balanced life that God can honor with peace and power. This month, I want to encourage you to keep searching for the BIG

purpose of your life. Read Psalm 37:4 and consider the following. Your purpose is most readily found in the desires of your heart. God put them there before the beginning of time. He has been orchestrating events to reveal them to you. He will continue orchestrating events that you would have them. The desires of your heart may feel like a burden (e.g., for the homeless, or prayer in school). It may be something you longed to do since you were a child. It may be a business idea that seemed more like a dream than something you could accomplish. These are all clues, but I want you to know that the best way to expose the desire is to meet the condition: Delight yourself in the LORD. Now, you might think this means to enjoy God’s presence or praise Him. That is what “delight” means in all the other Psalms. Here, however, the Hebrew word means “to be soft” – like clay in the Potter’s hand. The delight that receives the desire comes from a heart that is humble and surrendered. Marketplace Ministry Tip: As you are making plans for your business, family and personal life, test God in this: Surrender it to Him and see if He will not bring you into an adventure where your desire becomes His purpose. If you do, then you can rest on the promises of Job 42:2 and Romans 8:28. He can be trusted, for He is steadfastly faithful. What do you have to lose, anyway?

Viewpoints The Ministry of the Holy Spirit

by Jeanne Grace Curtis, Co-director with her husband Harold Max Curtis of Ministries For Christ, Inc., www.MinistriesForChrist.org

The Holy Spirit ministers to us so that we in turn can minister to others – not as fallen, broken humans, but as true, holy representatives of Jesus Christ on earth. We don’t always do our duty to family members, neighbors, or others we meet each day. We don’t always obey God. There is not a single man in all the earth who is always good and never sins (Eccles. 7). But Jesus Christ did not come to lay another guilt trip on us. He came that we might live life in all of its fullness. Christ’s purposes, motivations, and responses can become ours. We can have hope because of His holiness. Mental choices to forgive and be forgiven are not enough to bring true healing and restoration of relationships. Fleshly striving to be kind and loving often fails. Holiness is not achieved by forcing ourselves to act according to the laws of God. Holiness is a matter of giving ourselves so completely to the Lordship of Jesus Christ that by the power of His Spirit living in us we are transformed into His likeness. Our behavior is just the outward demonstration of what we have allowed Him to accomplish in our innermost being. When we want more of Jesus in our lives we desire what God desires for us. When we have more of Jesus and His Holy Spirit in our lives, we become more like Him. The Holy Spirit comforter comes to us in many different ways when we seek Jesus as Lord of our lives and when we allow Him to transform us into His likeness. One of the most effective ways in which the Holy Spirit ministers to believers is through the efforts of other fellow Christians. My husband and I know first hand the blessing that comes from receiving small acts of kindness from others during deeply wounded days. We all need someone to pray for us with encouragement rather than with condemnation. Someone who has been devastated spiritually does not have the strength to interact intimately or extensively. Simple acts of kindness such as vegetable soup, a cake, a kind word, a smile, a wave, a hug, a short note, or a short phone call will bring comfort to a hurting person. “Praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the One who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials. And why does He do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort that God has given us.” (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4)
