Spring is Here GRASSHOPPER PIE The freshness inherent in mint makes it a cool choice for a Spring dessert. Enter the Grasshopper pie - a dessert based on a cocktail consisting of crème de cacao and crème de menthe. In church cookbooks, you’ll find recipes created without alcohol with the qualifier “Baptist.“ As in “Baptist Harvey Wallbanger Cake” and “Baptist Grasshopper Pie.“ Well, this is a Baptist Grasshopper Cake. Dark chocolate layers, a fluffy minty filling, covered with a glossy chocolate ganache glaze. It’s like an Andes Candies cake, cool and refreshing, with a vibrant green ribbon through the middle.

Chocolate Mint Cake ! 1 ¾ cups sugar ! 2 ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour ! 2 tablespoons cornstarch ! ¾ cup Dutch-process cocoa ! ¾ cup buttermilk (preferably whole-fat ) ! 1 teaspoon baking powder ! 1 teaspoon baking soda ! 1 teaspoon salt ! 2 large eggs ! ½ cup canola oil ! 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ! 1 cup hot water 1. Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cornstarch, cocoa, buttermilk, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium

speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the hot water (the batter will be thin) and pour batter into pans.

3. Bake the cakes for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then turn them out to cool on a wire rack.

Grasshopper Mint Filling ! ¼ cup vegetable shortening ! ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter ! Pinch of salt ! 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ! 1 tablespoon peppermint extract ! 1 cup powdered sugar ! ¼ cup corn syrup ! 1 cup marshmallow creme ! Green food paste 1. Beat together the shortening, butter, salt, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and powdered sugar, until fluffy.

2. Gradually beat in the corn syrup, until well blended. Add the marshmallow creme and beat until fluffy. Add the green food paste a dab at a time until the frosting reaches desired color.

Dark Chocolate Glaze ! 1 cup heavy cream ! 4 tablespoons light corn syrup ! Pinch of salt ! 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped 1. Place the cream, corn syrup and salt in a small saucepan and warm over low heat. Add chocolate and stir. Continue heating until the chocolate has melted is smooth.

2. Cool, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, so that the glaze thickens slightly, but is still pourable.

To assemble cake: spread mint filling between layers and cover cake with chocolate glaze.

Tea Room offers nearby escape My wife and I were in Powder Springs the other day and stopped in a unique and quaint business named Tea at Seven Springs. After hearing endless comments from her like “This is really cool”, “Thanks for bringing me here”, “I really like this”, and “I don’t want to leave”, I thought it might be worth telling the readers of Chapel Hill News & Views about it.

The business is in downtown Powder Springs. There is a municipal parking lot in back of the building, which makes it easy to get in and out of.

Right off the bat, let me tell you that it is only open from 11:00am to 3:00pm Tuesday through Saturday for lunch. But it is also open for special events by reservation during other hours.

I’m a big fan of historic buildings, and you can tell that this one is in that category, with brick walls and wooden floors. It is a really neat atmosphere to begin with, but the way that it is decorated enhances the experience. The tables all have linen tablecloths, the tea cups and plates are antiques, and made of fine china. There is also a small gift shop with teas and candles and other gifts. The window looks out on the main street in downtown Powder Springs, a historic area.

The food was very good, and unique. I had a tomato basil soup, pasta salad, frozen fruit fluff, scones, and a chicken salad sandwich with grapes on a croissant. My wife had the potato soup, pasta salad, pineapple ham

New Menu Items

In addition to our current menu, which will stay the same, Sam & Rosco's has added these exciting new dishes:

sandwich on croissant, scones, and she had a pot of their vanilla tea.

Everything was tasty and fresh. They have a ton of tea choices and my wife chose one that had a hint of vanilla in it. The presentation of the food added to the ambiance, as our waitress carried the order on a two-tiered tray with a handle and bow.

The tea room also has a “Ladies Night Out” on the third Thursday of every month, which sounded like a lot of fun to my wife, and they have a Bible study every Monday morning. The facility is also available for rental for all types of functions including parties and showers, and they offer children’s dress-up tea parties.

All in all it was a relaxing experience, and my wife is already planning on going back. It was the most enthusiastic I have seen her about a restaurant in quite some time. This makes me believe that many who read the magazine would be interested in stopping by to check it out. I was actually the only man in the building, but I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and watching my wife and the other ladies there have a good time.

Tea at Seven Springs is located at 4456 Marietta Street in Powder Springs. For information you may call them at 770-439-9074 or you may visit their website at www.teaatsevensprings.com.

Landmark Cafeteria brings Choo Choo BBQ to the menu Those who lived in Douglasville from 2000 to 2004 probably remember Choo Choo BBQ, which was located on Fairburn Road at Hospital Drive, where CVS Pharmacy now sits. Those with fond memories of the barbecue and other food will be pleased to know that Landmark Cafeteria

has hired the previous owners of Choo Choo BBQ to bring their barbecue back to Douglasville, and to make it a part of their restaurant.

The new restaurant, Landmark Cafeteria Choo Choo BBQ, offers a daily buffet from 11:00am to 2:00pm with home cooked vegetables, fried chicken and Choo Choo Barbecue. Their family recipe of Brunswick stew, voted #1 in the Anniston Star newspaper while they traveled throughout Alabama, is served daily. The buffet is always fresh, with over ten home cooked vegetables and homemade cobbler of the day. The buffet is $7.59 and includes one meat and two vegetables with bread and drink.

The evening menu offers true southern fried catfish and ‘Granny’s Ole Fashion’ hushpuppies, and a wide variety of other foods from the menu. Sunday dinners are truly like eating at “Mamma’s table”, and include fried chicken, homemade mashed potatoes, fried okra, dressing and fresh cut collard greens.

One thing that makes Landmark Cafeteria Choo Choo BBQ different is its location. Landmark Cafeteria Choo Choo BBQ is located at 5009 Highway 5 near Pray’s Mill Baptist Church. Bill Arp now has a family restaurant where people still know you by name and greet you with true southern hospitality. It is convenient to residents who wish to avoid the congestion of the rest of Highway 5 and dine in a more relaxed atmosphere.

They are open Monday through Saturday from 11:00am to 8:00pm, and Sunday from 11:00am to 2:00pm. For information you may call them at 770-489-9977

By Chadd Franklin Hello Gaming Community! This month I will be reviewing You Don’t Know Jack for the Playstation 3. It is a trivia game that is fun to play with friends and family. The trivia is based on pop culture and the questions and mood of the game will have you laughing the entire time. Not only is fun to play at home with family and friends, it also has a neat online mode. There are 73 games right now, but I believe the amount of games will increase when more content is released on Xbox Live and the Playstation Network. If you are fan of trivia, then this game is for you. I give it a score of 3 out of 5.

Visit the Douglas County Museum of History and Art located in the Old Courthouse, in historic downtown Douglasville. The Museum is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. Special tours can be arranged at other times by calling 770-949-4090. Admission is free.

CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS

When you have decided to take your camera up to another level of understanding, it might begin by taking your settings off auto and moving more into the manual mode. By doing this, there are a few practical helps to get you started. First, understanding ISO and aperature, how these aspects relate to light and how it interacts with your camera, can broaden your horizons and make you a better photographer.

ISO is the measure of a digital camera sensor’s sensitivity to light - the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. Higher ISO settings are generally used in darker situations to get faster shutter speeds. For example, an indoor sports event when you want to freeze the action.

Aperture is ‘the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken.’ When

Arts & Entertainment

you hit the shutter release button on your camera a hole opens up that allows your camera’s image sensor to catch a glimpse of the scene you’re wanting to capture.

The aperture that you set impacts the size of that hole. The larger the hole, the more light that gets in; the smaller the hole the less light.

Aperture is measured in ‘f-stops’. You’ll often see them referred to here as f/number – for example f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/22, etc. Moving from one f-stop to the next doubles or halves the size of the amount of opening in your lens (and the amount of light getting through). Keep in mind that a change in shutter speed from one stop to the next doubles or halves the amount of light that gets in also – this means if you increase one and decrease the other, you let the same amount of light in.

Happy Clicking!

community Arbor Place to Help Raise Awareness and Funding for Gabe’s Chemo Duck Program Arbor Place is pleased to announce their partnership with non-profit organization Gabe’s Chemo Duck Program. The mall is teaming up with Gabe’s Chemo Duck to raise awareness of the organization in the Atlanta area, raise funds for this worthwhile organization, and host a fun, family oriented event allowing the community to join in their efforts.

In December 2002, Lu Sipos and her husband Rob discovered their one year old child, Gabe, had cancer. As the entire family struggled to adapt to the unthinkable, Gabe struggled to understand what was happening to him, as life quickly became a neverending round of doctor and hospital visits. In an effort to help her child through this horrific and difficult time, Lu took a present given by a friend – a stuffed yellow duck, fairly generic, except for his oversized yellow beak – and gave it an extreme makeover. She dressed it in blue hospital pajamas and tied a bandana around its head. She added a chemotherapy port on its chest, a blood pressure cuff to his arm and borrowed empty syringes from her sons nurses. Gabe quickly took to the duck, began playing “doctor” and Chemo Duck was formed.

As “Dr. Gabe,” Lu realized her son was able to administer treatment and role-play his way through new, frightening experiences, allowing Gabe to overcome his fears. Chemo Duck became an integral part of Gabe’s medical team during cancer treatment.

The Chemo Duck organization was formed shortly after, focusing on bringing the Gabe’s Chemo Duck program to as many children living with cancer as possible. To date, over 5,000 children with cancer have been provided a source of comfort through Chemo Duck.

However, there are currently over 1,000 children on the waiting list to receive a Chemo Duck to help them through their difficult journey.

In order to increase both awareness and funding for the Chemo Duck organization, Arbor Place will be offering Dollar Ducks to customers interested in making donations. Dollar Ducks are paper ducks customers may purchase for $1 or more. Dollar Ducks will be available for purchase through Saturday, March 5. The mall will also have Adopt-a-Duck sponsorship information available, allowing customers the option of providing a Chemo Duck to a child in need for $25.

On Saturday, March 5, 2011, Arbor Place will host a Mall Walk/ Waddle for the community. This walk or “waddle” around the interior of the mall will raise both awareness and funds for Gabe’s Chemo Duck organization. Persons of all ages are encouraged to participate in this non-timed event. Strollers are welcome. The general entry fee is $30, children under the age of 10 may register for a reduced fee of $15, and children under the age of 2 are FREE. T-shirts are available with a $30 registration while supplies last. To pre-register, please visit www.ArborPlace.com or visit the Mall Management Office. On-site registration will begin at 8:00am in the Food Court. Mall Waddle for all ages will begin at 9:00am.

National Doctors’ Day is March 30th

By Gary M.

Douglas County Republican Women’s Club meets The Douglas County Republican Women’s Club meets the fourth

According to The Barrow County News, in an article written by Pamela Settle Miles, MD, the holiday was conceived by Eudora Brown Almond, a physician’s wife in Georgia. The date of March 30th was chosen to celebrate Doctors’ Day because it is the anniversary of the day that anesthesia was first administered to a patient, also in Georgia, by Dr. Crawford W. Long in 1842. And, the first Doctors Day celebration was held in Winder, Georgia in 1933.

Recognizing the importance of physicians in residents’ lives is important. Be sure your care facility strives hard to provide ongoing communication with residents’ physicians and their family members.

Another thing to look for in a care facility is being sure they honor the health of residents by providing transportation to their doctors’ appointments. A lot of family members work and it is difficult to take time out of their work schedule to coordinate doctor appointments.

Also be sure your care facility understands the residents’ health care needs, and that their nurse can provide appropriate follow-up and care.

Freestyle Cruising is exactly what it sounds like you have the freedom of choice to cruise your way.

It’s a different kind of cruise for a different kind of cruiser. In 2000, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) pioneered the alternative dining concept and in the process, revolutionized the dining experience for the cruise industry. In the decade since, they’ve expanded their restaurant choices on all ships to include everything from tapas to teppanyaki. The selection ranges from as many as nine fantastic dining options included in your cruise fare to a savory array of specialty restaurants created for those extra-special nights out.

More choices are “on the house”. Morning, noon and night you’ll find tempting restaurants, grills, buffets and cafés to satisfy any craving - and they are all included in your cruise fare. If it’s a three-course feast you’re in the mood for, welcome to the beautiful dining rooms that serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maybe dining al fresco with ocean views is in order. You got it - the “endless” buffets offer indoor and outdoor seating with made-to-order omelets and pasta dishes, fresh salads and much, much more. Plus, there are casual grills by the pool, 24-hour eateries with your favorite comfort foods, lively sports bars, kid’s cafés and of course dining à la pajamas with room service.

How about a night “on the town”? Every ship in the NCL fleet also offers true Texas-style steakhouses, gourmet French bistros, Italian trattorias and that’s just the beginning. Try the exotic Asian Fusion restaurants or be entertained by the master chefs as they grill up steak, seafood or chicken and veggies at their authentic teppanyaki grills. Some ships offer sophisticated supper clubs with dinner and dancing, Cirque Dreams and Dinner shows with world-class acrobats and more. These specialty restaurants are optional and have a cover charge that ranges from $10 to $30 per guest.

How do you have a good time on board? Pools with slides, Wii on two-story screens, modern fitness centers, expansive spas, fun kids

travel

and teens programs, wine tastings and more are all waiting for you on board.

From the largest suites at sea to a room with a view with the Balcony Staterooms, Norwegian Cruise Line has the widest selection of accommodations at sea, including more family-friendly interconnecting staterooms and suites than anyone else.

Freestyle Cruising is all about giving you the freedom of choice to have your style of vacation. Relax or be adventurous. Eat a burger or filet. Dress up or go casual. And never have a fixed schedule or restriction to slow you down. It’s your vacation, so make sure it’s exactly what you’ve been daydreaming about. You’ll find NCL’s fleet of new ships have everything you need to have your perfect cruise vacation.

The Family ConneCTion Serving the Kids at Church

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 When recruiting volunteers to serve in the children’s ministry at a church there are a few common thoughts you’ll hear from members.

Younger adults, whether single or young-marrieds have a tendency to think “some day when I have kids, I’ll help out in there.” For parents of preschoolers, they’re often thinking “I am with him all day long, on Sunday morning, I finally get a few hours to myself.” Parents of elementary kids may decide that “I’m already coaching his baseball team, fighting with him over homework every night and helping with the school fundraiser this year, there are a lot of other people at the church that can help with the kids.” Many parents of teenagers are just overwhelmed and they’re thinking “someday when my kids make it to college, I’ll be able to go back and have fun with the children.” And those who have survived all of the trials and turmoil of parenting and have successfully launched their children into the world are probably thinking “I raised my kids, now it’s someone else’s job to work in the children’s ministry.”

Are the above statements representative of everyone in each of those stages? Of course not, but they probably make us smile when we read them because we may see our own thoughts or the thoughts of others we know reflected within them. Are the above statements valid?

Absolutely! Each statement on its own is completely understandable.

But do we see the problem? When we combine them all into the context of a single church, who is left to serve the kids?

Every parent wants a quality Children’s Ministry at their church so that their children can learn about God, worship Him, fellowship with other kids and also have some fun. Most members of a church desire a

Please tell our advertisers you saw them in CHNV!

great Children’s Ministry too, so that they can confidently invite friends, family and acquaintances with children to their church.

Unfortunately, there can be other underlying reasons why a church wants a program for the kids. It may be because they don’t want the kids in church to ‘bother’ the adults who are trying to worship and learn about God. If a church focuses too heavily on keeping the adults happy, kid’s church can become basically a babysitter with a Bible story.

The games, songs, crafts, stories and activities we use in children’s ministry are the tools we use to capture their attention, to teach and to make it fun. True ministry to children goes beyond these activities we offer an hour or so a week, instead it strives to be: Relational: knowing the kids and their families Educational: teaching them about God, the Bible, and our faith Applicable: showing them how everything we are teaching matters Social: having fun and treating others as we ought Supportive: meeting the kids and families at their points of need Eternally-minded: keeping the importance of what we’re doing at the forefront So how do we put all of the above thoughts together? As a church, all members need to see the value of the Children’s Ministry. That means we need to understand that a real, quality ministry to children takes money, time, staff, space and more. If we can begin moving our church in that direction, recruiting people to serve the kids will become much easier. Why? Because everyone is busy and everyone has a good reason not to work in the child care at church. But people are willing to find time to change young lives for eternity, to impact families, and to serve the youngest members of their church.

Pet Set Pet Care Tip Flea Season is Here

By Dixie Popham - Owner, Pet Set Grooming, 3313 Hwy. 5 Across from Publix, 770-949-0579 Fleas are persistent, nasty and tough to kill. Flea infestations can make people and pets miserable.

Like most insect control, successful flea control must include a flea treatment that will stop the flea “cycle”. This cycle I am referring to includes the eggs, larva, pupa and adult stage. Here is a brief description of the cycle from start to finish.

1) Once fed, the flea will look to mate and immediately lay eggs.

This can occur in the yard, the house, and on the pet.

2) In the next two to three weeks, hundreds and hundreds of eggs will be laid by this one flea.

3) When the eggs hatch, a small caterpillar like creature comes out to feed on anything organic. This includes dried blood, flea feces, animal hair and a variety of otherwise disgusting organic matter in the yard, in your carpet, on furniture, on your pet and basically anywhere in or outside the home.

4) These flea larva will then feed for days after which they’ll spin a cocoon and undergo metamorphosis in this stage. And it’s this third stage, the one called the flea pupa, which is the toughest thing about flea infestations.

Now that you know where the flea cycle can occur, it will be easier to understand what must be done to treat the problem. Remember, it is important to understand that fleas will persist if you only address one or two locations where they are breeding. A good idea is to follow this general rule: if the pet is an inside animal, you must treat the home and the pet to insure no fleas. If the pet is an outside animal, you will need to treat the pet as well as the yard area the pet has access to. If the pet spends a lot of time both inside and out, then you will need to treat the pet, yard and the home.

Six ‘Simple’ Commands

By Dee Proeller. Dee is the owner of Dee’s Dogwalking and Petsitting, www.deesdogwalking.com, 770-906-5432 There’s a border collie who has recently gotten an amount of press coverage because she is rumored to have the largest vocabulary of any known dog – the working knowledge of over ONE THOUSAND nouns! Wow. To put that in perspective, the average dog knows maybe a tenth of that, give or take a few dozen words depending on the breed and training. Very impressive, indeed.

Her handler says any pup could learn to do this, as long as you’re willing to put in four to five hours a day of training over the span of three years.

Quite an investment, but I think I would give it a try if I had a “different” payoff. For safety reasons, of course I would drill down the requisite stop, sit, come, and the ever important “drop it” (don’t pups LOVE to put toxic and/or smelly things, as well as any kind of choking hazard, in their mouth!). Then there are the “other” essentials fetch wine glass, fetch cork screw, fetch Chardonnay! Fetch Ben & Jerry’s, fetch spoon, fetch remote!

Those six commands alone would make the training well worth the time and effort.

health&beauty Strengthening natural nailS

By Jeanne Grace Curtis, Nails Your Way, 770949-3113, www.nailsyourway.com Nobody wants flimsy or flaky nails, but some people are born with thin nails. Nail plate thickness is predetermined at birth, so it is impossible to change the chemical makeup of nail plate thickness. However, you can increase the natural nail’s toughness. Nail toughness is a combination of strength and flexibility.

Without the flexibility, strong nails can turn to brittle nails very quickly.

An important defense against weak, unhealthy nails is a restorative strengthener that helps provide flexibility as well as protection.

Natural nail strengtheners encourage nail growth and development. Skin and nail type is a determining factor when deciding which type of strengthener should be used. All strengtheners do not perform the same and do not treat all nail problems. For example, extremely

oily or dramatically dry skin is an indication that the condition of the nails will also be oily or dry. The directions for the nail strengthener will usually indicate any special benefits that it provides. If you’re not sure which nail strengthener is right for your needs then visit a licensed professional Manicurist and Onyxologist for an evaluation and consultation.

Ninety-percent of all nail growth occurs in the lunula, the white half moon at the base of the nail. Nail strengtheners must be applied directly to the lunula. A conditioning oil should always be used along with any nail strengthener. The strengthener should be kept off the skin around the nails and cuticle in order to prevent drying them out. Some strengtheners must be applied daily; others are used a few times a week. Each week, remove the strengthener with non-acetone polish remover, and then start the process again.

Be sure to apply strengtheners in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions. Be sure to note any precautions. Some manufacturers recommend a progressive procedure that uses multiple formulas.

For best results, after six or eight weeks, switch to a different type of strengthener formula.

Personal Trainers Corner KEEP YOUR HEART HEALTHY

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 Cardiovascular diseases claim nearly 700,000 lives in the U.S. each year, making them the nation’s leading killer.

Check out these six simple healthy-heart tips that will help lower your risk for heart disease 1. Hit the gym. The cornerstone to having a healthy heart is maintaining a healthy weight, according to the Food and Drug Administration, and exercise is an integral part of keeping your heart healthy. Not only does regular physical activity keep you fit, it improves heart function, lowers blood pressure and blood cholesterol, and boosts energy. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week, and the more vigorous the activity, such as aerobics or running on a treadmill, the better.

2. Eat your greens (and browns). A low-fat, low-cholesterol diet rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains and fiber is ideal for a healthy heart. Researchers in Connecticut have reported that broccoli improves heart function and protects against heart disease and damage in lab rats. Substitute baked, steamed, boiled or broiled foods for fried ones, and try to avoid things coated in cream, butter or mayonnaise. While you’re at it, skip the salt; it has been shown to cause blood pressure to spike.

3. Kick the smoking habit. If you needed any more reasons to stick to your New Year’s resolution to put down the pack, puff on this: Cigarette smokers are two to four times as likely to develop coronary heart disease and 10 times as likely to develop peripheral vascular disease as nonsmokers, according to the CDC. What’s more, cigarettes compromise a healthy heart by approximately doubling a person’s risk for stroke.

4. Brush and floss. A study conducted by scientists at Howard University found that people suffering from chronic periodontitis, a disease marked by inflamed gums and deep pockets between the gums and teeth, were more likely to develop coronary heart disease, perhaps due to bacteria associated with gum disease entering the bloodstream.

5. Soak up the sun — safely. A recent article in Circulation, a medical journal published by the American Heart Association, linked vitamin D deficiency to heart disease. As scientists already know, too little time spent in the sun (along with a diet lacking in the nutrient) contributes to low vitamin D levels. The study found that sun-

deprived patients with heart disease were 30% to 50% more likely to suffer severe disease or die. Some amount of sun is healthy for your heart, but before you hit the beach, always make sure to apply sunscreen with a high SPF, as sunbathing carries the risk of skin cancer.

6. Keep your cool. Like smoking, stress can increase your risk for high blood pressure and heart disease. Though more research is needed to pinpoint the ways in which stress affects cardiovascular health, it is known that stress hormones increase the level of cortisol, a “feel good” chemical that repairs inflammation but has been linked to higher blood pressure. Working out is a great way to blow off steam, keep your cortisol count in check and your heart healthy.

Something old, Something new…

By Natt Taylor, Creative Director/Fashion Designer of The DESTINI Collection, www. shopdestini.com The weather is warming up…Spring is in the air! It’s time to start packing away those harsh winter wools and replacing them with airy, spring fabrics. A new season doesn’t have to lead you on a shopping spree. Edit between seasons and you’ll find that you have great transitional pieces that will carry you through the year. Here are three easy steps sure to get you fashion-ready for Spring 2011!

Remove. Start by going through your closet and removing items that are not within one size, up or down, of your current size. For example, if you are currently a size eight, garments that are smaller than a size six or larger than a size 10, should be removed. Having a small range of size options gives you a little flexibility throughout the season without cluttering your space with illfitting garments. To maximize your spring styling options, be sure to hold on to cross-season items like light knit sweaters. They’ll be

selections before including them in your Spring 2011 wardrobe.

Of course, there’s no need to hang items that are going to remain dormant for another season, but this is a new year and a new you!

Consider having a styling session with a few friends. Try on different options, mixing and matching to discover new looks. Swap parties are always great! Garments that didn’t make your cut may be a blessing to someone else.

Revive. Here’s the fun part! Take inventory and do some light shopping to add a few key items necessary to completing your day to day look. Remember that style is less about trends and more about options.

For instance, if you find that you have a large selection of denim, make a plan to buy more lightweight skirts and vice versa.

Adding accessories can brighten up an old garment, so be creative and embrace your personal style.

After such a harsh, cold winter, we should welcome Spring with open arms! Experiment with exciting prints and always remember that whether maxi or mini, a woman can never have too many dresses!

home&garden DECORATING TIPS

Light Up Your Life with the Right Lighting!

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.

Often times, a beautifully designed room, can easily miss the mark without a well planned and executed lighting plan. Have you ever walked into a fabulous room that just seemed to miss the mark?

Perhaps the ambience of the room seemed off kilter. Or, maybe the room’s lighting gave it a harsh cold feel. Here are some specific tips you should consider when working up your own personal lighting plan. And, here’s a word to the wise. The single best tip to insure a successful lighting plan is to work with a professional interior decorator. That way all the decisions you make the first time will be the right decisions for your home and your room.

FREQUENTLY ASKED LIGHTING QUESTIONS: 1. How much light does my room actually need? As an interior decorator, I typically calculate the amount of light needed in a room by multiplying the room’s length by the room’s width – in feet.

Then that number is again multiplied by 1.5. I have found that this gives me the number of watts required to provide adequate ambient lighting for my client’s room. Of course, this is just a beginning number.

2. How much specific task lighting to I need? Typically, I find that a good rule of thumb for task lighting is to multiply the room’s square footage by 2.5 instead of 1.5 to find the proper wattage. This will give the brighter light needed in workspaces.

3. My hallway is dull and dreary. How much lighting do I need to brighten it up? I recommend that a lighting fixture be placed every 8 to 10 feet. This can be down cans, decorative fixtures, or small LED’s. If my clients prefer using wall sconces, I suggest they be placed 6 to 8 feet apart; wall sconces should always be hung 60 inches above the finished floor.

4. Should I consider lighting when I select my colors?

In addition to knowing which colors are the most flattering to you, it’s also important to take into consideration how natural and artificial light will affect your desired color scheme. First consider how much natural light enters the room, and for how long a period during the day. In sunny rooms with a southern exposure, cool colors will be more pleasing than warm ones; hot yellows and reds will produce an unpleasant glare during a large part of the day. Then you need to consider the time you spend in the room without daylight. the Artificial light can affect colors even more dramatically. Generally, standard incandescent bulbs give off a yellowish light. Standard fluorescents create a cold and harsher light, a typically slightly green cast.

However, many different tints of bulbs are available in both types of lights. Using the right tint in the bulbs you select will definitely help you control the way your colors look in artificial light.

ORGANIZING TIPS

Organizing Your Garage

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

March is one of my favorite months of the year; it is filled with promise and hope of longer, warmer days ahead.

Days filled with the kind of weather that always inspires me to tackle jobs I have been putting off all winter due to the cold, places like the basement and garage. The last couple months I have been encouraging you to set goals for yourself and your family and with Spring on the horizon maybe you would like to join me in making one of those goals an organized garage.

Why is the garage such a challenge to get organized and keep organized? While there are several reasons for this, including the need for extra storage, and the lack of proper storage systems, I have found that the main reason is our tendency to “just put it here for now,” but before long “for now, becomes forever”. Whatever your reason is, hopefully you will find the tips below helpful in getting your garage in good working order.

• Start by setting aside a day (or days) on your calendar; Saturdays are a great place to start because you will need a few extra hours in the beginning. Check-in with the family to make sure everyone is available to help. Keep in mind, this may not get finished in one day, so it is a good idea to schedule a few evenings in the upcoming week to complete the project.

• Next, take everything out, sweep down the cobwebs, sweep out the garage, and if the budget allows - paint! Yes, you read that correctly, I said paint. Think color. There is no reason our garages have to be boring white. It is very refreshing to pull into a “welcoming garage” after a long day at work.

• Now that the garage is clean (and pretty) it is time to sort the ‘stuff’. Start by removing items you no longer use or love as well as items that are broken beyond repair. Immediately throw away the broken items, then decide to either give away or donate the rest, making room for what’s left. (Hint: Allow all family members, especially kids, to be involved in this decision making process so they can learn the joy that comes with sharing and letting go.)

• Now comes the fun part - you get to go shopping! I highly recommend waiting until this point in the process before purchasing any storage products in order to avoid buying the wrong things and ending up with more clutter. Today the options are limitless both in product and budget range, so be careful that you don’t get too carried away. Shelving is a great way to take advantage of the vertical spaces and is available in both open and closed options.

• Remember, there is no right or wrong here, you decide what works best for your situation. If you like everything behind closed doors you may want to use storage cabinets. If you need to be able to see everything, then you can use open shelving. Put like items together. You can use plastic storage containers for this, however; large cardboard boxes work just as well. Label everything, including shelving and boxes, making it easier for everyone to return items to their “home” after use.

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 As I drove into the office this morning, the news clip on the local talk radio station referred to President Obama’s desire to connect people with high speed rail, similar to how they move people in Japan. Well I am not sure of the validity of this idea in a country as big as the United States, but I do know that transportation and roads play a key part in our every day lives. Even in our gardens we must determine how to get from one area to the next. Many times, it is not only people we need to move but wheelbarrows, new plants, pruning clippings, etc that need to be moved from one place to the other. What good is a garden if you cannot move through it easily and safely? Many of you may think that your overall space is too small to think about creating garden paths, but the majority of you already have at least one. Your walkway to the front door is as much a garden path as any, and all of the tips and techniques I will be suggesting can be applied to this all important path.

Garden paths can be made of many different types of materials. A low cost, but high maintenance solution would be to use an organic material such as pine bark mulch, pine straw, or gravel.

These types of paths need to be replenished often as they degrade fairly readily. Another low cost solution would be to use mowed strips of grass. The draw back on this solution is that grass, realistically, needs sufficient light to stay vibrant and healthy.

Other more expensive, but lower maintenance paths, include stepping stones, brick or concrete pavers, poured concrete, flag stone (dry laid or set in mortar), etc. As you can see almost anything can be used to create paths.

Building garden paths is not as complicated as you may think.

It just involves laying out the design, digging it down to accommodate your path material, putting in the “walls” (edging to hold your path material in place), placing a layer of garden fabric to keep the weeds out, filling it half full with paver run (sort of like sand or very finely crushed brick) and then setting in the path material. Yes, it’s a lot of work. Yes, it takes a while. But it’s not complicated. There are many good resources that will walk you through the process step by step. One of my favorites is Taunton Press’ Build Like a Pro: Patios and Walkways.

By formally connecting your garden spaces together, you take your garden to a new level and you won’t even have to spend $53 billion dollars to do it.

Have you just recently opened a new business?

You can send in a press release! E-mail submissions@chapelhillnews.net for the guidelines.

Getting all Employees Involved is a Matter of Survival

Auto Emissions Center of Douglasville recently opened. They are certified by the Georgia Clean Air Force (GCAF) to perform emissions inspection tests on vehicles that are model year 1996 and newer. It is located at the I-20 Exit 34, Douglasville Highway 5 at the Shell station. It is owned and operated by Charles “Chuck” Rozell.

Increased awareness of air quality deterioration led to the creation of the U.S. EPA and the enactment of the 1970 Clean Air Act Amendments. The amendments required many states to implement programs to lower air pollution levels. Since motor vehicles were identified as one of the major sources of air pollution, the state of Georgia responded by implementing a vehicle emissions testing program in the mid-80’s.

In 1990, the Clean Air Act was amended, resulting in Georgia being required to implement an Enhanced Vehicle Emissions Inspection & Maintenance (I/M) program reaching into nine additional counties including Douglas and Paulding Counties.

The Center can be reached by calling 678-324-7984. Business hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:30pm and Saturday from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

By Josh Leibner and Gershon Mader, authors of The Power of Strategic Commitment, www.strategiccommitment.com How do you survive and even thrive given the challenges posed by today’s harsh economic climate? Two strategic planning experts believe they have an answer: ask your employees.

“There must be alignment at the top levels, all middle managers need to be on board and you’ve got to reach out and touch every employee, ask them what they think, and then listen to what they say.”

Josh Leibner and Gershon Mader, co-authors of the book The Power of Strategic Commitment: Achieving Extraordinary Results Through TOTAL Alignment and Engagement, say “Very little good can happen when strategic development is only done by the top management of a company or an organization,” says Leibner.

“It’s crucial to ask employees for their feedback on more than just the short term tactical problems. The biggest breakthroughs to total commitment and complete alignment always come when the employees have deep conversations with top management on the bigger picture and longer-term issues.”

“You’ve got to get past the myth of consensus. Consensus is not commitment. People agree to “live with” something, but that doesn’t mean they would die for it. Often, they simply want to get the meeting over with and return to work or go home. Instead ask your staff what they would start, stop or continue,” says Leibner. “Then discuss the responses and the consequences as a group so people can realize the implications of a decision, and learn to think strategically at a level or two above their current job. Let them take a few steps in your shoes.

money&finance Don’t Let April 15 Pass You By

A Few 2011 Tax Law Changes

Courtesy of Janice Thompson, State Farm Insurance, 2090 Fairburn Road, 770-489-1400, janice.thompson. cexv@statefarm.com, Member NASD April 15 has long been considered a date to avoid. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could do something to lower your federal income tax burden instead of mailing a big check on April 15? With a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you may be able to do just that.

A contribution of the 2010 maximum of $5,000 by April 18, 2011 could reduce your taxable income, making your federal tax burden less for the year. If you were 50 or older by the end of 2010, you can add a $1,000 catch-up contribution to potentially reduce the tax burden even more. If you already have a traditional IRA, plan to make a contribution by the April 15 deadline.

If not, talk to a financial professional as soon as possible to start one.

There are restrictions governing who may deduct contributions to a traditional IRA. If you don’t qualify for a traditional IRA deduction, consider a Roth IRA. You won’t get the federal tax deduction now, but qualified withdrawals can be made free of federal income tax during your retirement years.

Either way, having a plan for retirement is important. You owe it to yourself to make the best plan as soon as possible.

Legislation enacted during the past few years, including the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 and the more recently enacted Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (2010 Tax Relief Act), contains a number of important tax law changes that affect 2011. Key changes for 2011 affect both individuals and businesses. Certain tax breaks you benefited from in 2010, or before, may have changed in amount, timing, or may no longer be available in 2011. However, new tax incentives may be valuable. This article highlights some of the significant tax changes for 2011.

New payroll tax cut for wage earners. New for calendar 2011 is a payroll tax cut for wage earners and self-employed individuals. The payroll tax cut, as provided by the 2010 Tax Relief Act, reduces the employee’s share of Social Security taxes by two percent, from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent, for all wages earned during the 2011 calendar year, up to the taxable wage base of $106,800. Future Social Security is not affected by the payroll tax cut.

Many workers can expect to see an average tax savings of more than $1,000 as a result of the new payroll tax cut. For example, a single individual who earns $40,000 annually and is paid weekly will see an extra $15 in her paycheck every week.

A single individual who earns $60,000 annually and is paid biweekly will see an extra $46 in her paycheck.

Self-employed individuals also benefit from the payroll tax cut.

Self-employed individuals will pay 10.4 percent on self-employment income up to the threshold.

No more Making Work Pay Credit. The payroll tax cut replaces the Making Work Pay Credit (MWPC), which expired at the end of 2010 and was not renewed for 2011. The MWPC provided a refundable tax credit of up to $400 for qualified single individuals and up to $800 for married taxpayers filing joint returns for 2009 and 2010.

Residential energy improvement credits. For individuals who may be making energy-efficient improvements to their homes in 2011, important changes have taken place for a popular tax credit. The 2010 Tax Relief Act extended the Code Sec. 25C nonbusiness energy efficient property credit for homeowners for one year, through December 31, 2011. However, more restrictive rules apply for 2011 than applied in 2010. The amount of residential energy property expenditures paid or incurred during the tax year. The maximum credit allowable is $500 over the lifetime of the taxpayer. The $500 amount must be reduced by the aggregate amount of previously allowed credits the taxpayer received in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010. There are certain restrictions on the amounts claimed for certain items as well.

SPORTS FITNESS FLEXIBILITY TRAINING

By David Hansey. 404-514-1896, NASM Certified Performance Enhancement Specialist, NASM Certified Sports Fitness Specialist, NASM Certified Personal Trainer. www.4fitbodies.com.

Flexibility Training is one of the most overlooked parts of fitness.

When people do perform stretching exercises, they often do so incorrectly or inconsistently. Flexibility is a form of training that is poorly taught and even more poorly executed. Ask anyone from coaches to athletes on how to perform flexibility training and you will see faces filled with doubt.

Flexibility is defined as the normal extension of all soft tissues that allow full range of motion of a joint. Everyone knows that. What is usually missing is the “why” you need to stretch and even more importantly the “how” to stretch.

There are several main reasons to perform flexibility training as part of your routine. The main benefits are defined by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) as: 1. Decreased chance of injury 2. Prevent the development of muscle imbalances 3. Correct existing muscle imbalances and joint dysfunction 4. Improve posture and correct postural distortion 5. Enhance strength and power.

For injury prevention, it is very important to focus on prevention of muscle imbalances as well as correct any imbalances you currently have. A corrective training program can be designed from a postural

and movement assessment as muscle imbalances are obvious to the trained eye. Postural distortion is a fancy term for dysfunctions in your body that affect the completion of the kinetic chain. What this means is that your body is a complex instrument where different things work together to perform movement. Having a dysfunction means that you are not allowing your body to have the most efficient source of energy from all of its working parts. It is like a speed bump for your body; you slow down your movement or are forced to perform the movement in an incorrect way.

There are four main types of stretching. These are static, corrective, dynamic and active. Everyone needs to have active stretching as part of their routine. This is your warm-up plan in layman’s terms.

You perform sports specific movements to warm up muscles that are pertinent to your sport. An example of this is when a golfer is seen doing test swings before a game. Static is the other form of stretching that everyone needs. This is where you perform longer (usually 30 seconds each) held stretches after you are finished with your game/ workout. This is the type of stretching that makes you less sore the next day and more flexible over time.

Corrective and dynamic stretches are important for certain members of the population and most athletes. These are not your everyday stretches that you learned in high school. They are specific to a sport and unique for each individual. These need to be performed prior to a workout and need to be personalized for you.

Unfortunately, many Americans who suffer from a chronic condition sadly fall through the cracks, they are not acutely ill, but they are not well enough to function normally/optimal. This large and important segment of the population can greatly benefit from Allternative Gym. With the new paradigm of managed health care, it is now much more difficult for a patient to receive unlimited physical therapy treatments. In most cases a patient’s condition has a “cap” on the number of treatments they may receive. In many cases this number is less than optimum. The focus at Allternative Gym is to increase the psychomotor skills of an individual with a disability and allow them the opportunity to achieve their greatest overall potential.

Fitness Therapy is designed to bridge the gap from Physical Therapy to a Therapeutic Fitness Program that will help continue to increase strength and mobility. Fitness Therapy differs from typical physical fitness in that it features individualized program instruction, and ranges from clinical programs to post-rehabilitation. The programs at Allternative Gym focus on developing and maintaining muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, range of motion, posture, balance, perceptual motor skills, gross and fine motor skills and mobility. Clients involved in their program at the post-rehab level have acquired disabilities such as post-stroke, spinal cord injuries, and neuromuscular diseases.

The question of how exercise is beneficial to a person with a disability can best be explained by considering the deleterious effects of disuse syndrome. Disuse syndrome results from disruption of the normal balance between rest and physical activity, thereby decreasing the optimal functional capacity of an individual. When disuse syndrome is coupled with a disability the result is more functional loss than would be predicted by the disability alone. The greater the loss in functional capacity the greater the loss of independence in activities of daily living. Thus the more negative impact the condition will have on the lifestyle. Exercise can prevent, minimize, or reverse the effects of disuse syndrome even if those disabilities are severe.

LocaL LoRE Monk Eye’s Giant Rabbit Box

By Neal Beard | nealbeard@bellsouth.net We used to catch rabbits in homemade traps we simply called rabbit boxes. one blustery day, probably about 1951, I was building a rabbit box. Monk Eye rattled up on his junky old bicycle and said, “What’cha doin’?”

“I’m buildin’ me a new rabbit box cause an ole possum rurnt mine. I ain’t usin’ nothin’ but hard corn for bait from now on cause them ole possums will eat cabbage, lettuce and apple cores, but they won’t eat hard corn, ‘an I don’t wanna catch no more possums.”

In typical Monk eye fashion, he got excessively exuberant about building himself a rabbit box.

I checked on his progress the next day. He was building it out of twelve inch wide boards. I said, “Monk Eye them boards is too wide. You tryin’ to ketch a hog?”

He said, “If you wanna catch a big rabbit you gotta have room for him to git in the box.”

“Monk Eye, that jist ain’t no way to build a rabbit box.”

“You ever caught a giant rabbit?”

“Naw, cause they ain’t no sich thang as a giant rabbit.”

“I’ll show you when I ketch me one.”

He baited his box with hard corn, cabbage, lettuce, and an apple core. one day I went with him to check his rabbit box. The trigger had been thrown; the door had slammed shut; Monk Eye was ecstatic.

I said, “You probly’ caught ya’self a possum in thet thang.”

“I ain’t caught no possum. I caught me a big ole’ fat rabbit.”

CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS

He whizzed to the box, tilted it back, yanked up the door and peered in at his prize. It wasn’t a rabbit; it wasn’t a possum; it was an outraged skunk.

Insulted by the disrespect shown him he greeted Monk Eye with an odoriferous spray. My scrappy little dog Jip got one whiff, yelped and headed for home like his tail was afire. I hadn’t been close enough to get sprayed but I was close enough to know that I didn’t want to get close enough.

Monk Eye rolled on the ground hollering, “hep me.”

“I can’t hep you.”

He heaved; he groaned; he whimpered; he stank. The offended little animal marched out of the box and with head held high, trotted off, stopping to look back and sneer at Monk Eye. Those deluded by evolution say the skunk developed over 40 or 50 million years. These expert skunkologists say that before a skunk sprays it will go through a series of threat maneuvers including stamping their front feet.

This particular skunk hadn’t evolved to the point of a foot stamping warning; it had built up 50 million years worth of concentrated stink, which he freely shared with Monk Eye He heaved and gagged all the way home. I followed at a safe upwind distance. His mama made him go to the woods and strip off naked. She filled a wash tub in the yard, and threw him a wash cloth and a bar of lye soap; and kept a safe distance from her aromatic son, while he scrubbed and squalled.

She doused him in tomato juice to unstink him; it didn’t. Time finally proved effective in fumigating the odorous boy.

Several aroma free days later I asked, “Monk Eye, what’cha gonna do with that big ole rabbit box?”

He said, “Mama said I can’t ketch nothing else. You ken have it.”

Somewhere in a honeysuckle patch off Big a road I own a gigantic rabbit box, that’s had limited use.

Hello, gorgeous.

Where did you get that healthy glow?

We hear you believe in taking care of yourself inside and out. That you get heart and lung cancer screenings. And that you take advantage of the latest technology, like digital mammography.

During your pregnancy, you took childbirth and early parenting classes.

And when your baby was born, you had your very own team of nurses.

You even got rid of fibroid pain (with just the tiniest of scars) through uterine fibroid embolization (UFE).

We know your secret. And we’re sharing it so everyone can now say, “Hello, WellStar.”

We believe in life well-lived.

A Triple-A Screening

Could Save Your life

Submitted by Tanner Vascular Surgery, www.tannervascularsurgery. org, 770-214-CARE. An abdominal aortic aneurysm, also called AAA or “triple-A,” is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of the aorta—the largest artery in the body—which results in an abnormal widening or ballooning of the aorta.

The aorta delivers oxygenated blood pumped from your heart to the rest of the body. The aorta runs from your heart to your abdomen, where it branches off to your legs as femoral arteries. It is under constant pressure as blood is ejected from the heart, so there is a great potential for a rupture, causing a life-threatening hemorrhage that can result in death.

According to Dr. Whitney, about 15,000 people die of a ruptured aneurysm each year, which makes it as deadly as AIDS in the United States. This is because less than 50 percent of the emergency AAA cases arrive at the hospital still alive, and of those, only around 50 percent survive conventional surgical AAA repair.

Who is at risk for AAA? If you have several of the following risk factors, you may be at risk for AAA: • Over age 60 • History of smoking • History of high blood pressure • History of heart disease • Family history of AAA “If you’re at risk for AAA, the first thing you need to do is schedule a screening with a vascular specialist. Early detection is the best way to prevent the most serious risks of AAA,” said Dr. Whitney. “To determine if you have AAA, your doctor will send you for an ultrasound—either right in the doctor’s office like we do at Tanner Vascular Surgery or at a nearby diagnostic imaging center.”

What if you have AAA? Depending on the size of the aneurysm, a vascular surgeon may monitor it for further progression rather than do surgery right away.

However, if you have an AAA that continues to increase in size or is already serious, surgical intervention is required.

There are two approaches to abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

The standard surgical repair for AAA is called open repair. The newer, less invasive procedure is called endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Open surgical repair Open repair involves a large incision of the abdomen and the procedure is performed in an operating room under general anesthesia.

The aorta is clamped off above and below the aneurism, allowing the surgeon to cut open the aneurysm. A long, cylinder-like tube called a graft is sutured into the aorta, replacing the weakened section.

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) EVAR is a minimally-invasive procedure—often performed in a catheterization laboratory with localized anesthesia (epidural or spinal). The surgeon makes a small incision in each groin to access the femoral arteries in each leg. Using X-ray images for guidance, a stentgraft is inserted through the femoral artery and advanced to the site of the aneurysm. A stent-graft is a long cylinder-like tube made of a thin metal framework covered by a graft material. Once in place, the stentgraft is expanded, supporting the wall of the weakened aorta.

Character Corner LOYALTY

By Bob Harshbarger, Board Member of the Community Character Coalition of Douglas County As a member of the Community Character Coalition of Douglas County I would like to expound on the character word for the month of February 2011, which is Loyalty. Loyalty is defined by the dictionary as 1. Faithfulness to commitments or obligations; 2. Faithful adherence to a person, government, cause, duty, etc.

An example is the loyalty of a team’s fans toward their favorite football team. However this can sometimes be misconstrued. Loyalty is showing support and fondness no matter what the success level of the team might be. It is not “jumping on the band wagon” when everything is going well.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. Ever since I came to the Atlanta area in the early seventies, I have been a fan of the Atlanta Falcons. As anyone knows, who follows the National Football League, the Falcons have not had a great deal of success over the years until recently. However, several years ago, my wife gave me an Atlanta Falcons jacket, which I wore proudly even though the Falcons had very little success on the playing field at that time. For many years I received little or no comment on my jacket. However, this year when the Falcons had an exceptional year and were 13-4 in the league, everywhere I wore that jacket in the Atlanta area, people would say, “Oh, I like your jacket”. Now I am not saying that everyone who commented on my jacket this year is not a loyal fan. I’m just saying that loyalty does

education not depend on your team always winning, or someone always being right, or your organization always being in favor. The true test of loyalty is when things aren’t always going your way.

Another example of loyalty is my dog, Rascal. Whenever I would come home no matter what time of day or night, he was always there to greet me with a friendly wag of the tail. It didn’t matter to him if I was in a good mood or a bad mood, he was there and happy to see me. It didn’t matter if the weather was good or bad he was there for me. That is loyalty. Unfortunately, Rascal underwent an operation at the end of the year and he died. I miss him.

The Community Character Coalition of Douglas County publishes a Calendar of Character each year with the character words of each month. February’s word is loyalty and it is defined as true and faithful

to love, promise, duty, or other obligations. As you can see in both the dictionary definition and the calendar definition an important word is faithful. Faithful is defined as adhering firmly and devotedly as to a person, cause, or idea. Loyalty is believing in what you love and loving what you believe in.

Psychologist Corner WHAT’S IN A NAME? Understanding Professional Titles

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

It is not uncommon for there to be confusion about what type of professional to call when you need help…especially when names can be so similar (i.e., psychiatrist vs. psychologist). This month I will describe some key differences between various professionals and what type of service each professional is likely to provide.

Psychologist: A psychologist has a doctoral degree in psychology. A psychologist with a “PhD” after their name has completed a doctoral program that included both clinical and research requirements, consistent with preparation for clinical practice or an academic career. A psychologist with a “PsyD” after their name has completed a doctoral program that is includes the clinical training of a PhD program, but is less focused on conducting research.

Psychologists can diagnose disorders including ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, etc. Most psychologists devote most of their professional time to providing counseling/treatment services.

Some psychologists provide testing services that include measuring IQ, academic skills, memory abilities, and other neuropsychological factors; psychologists are the only professionals who can conduct this type of testing.

Psychiatrist: A psychiatrist has completed a medical degree, just as pediatricians, surgeons, and other physicians have. Psychiatrists can diagnose the same disorders as psychologists, with the exception of learning disabilities (as psychiatrists do not conduct testing); it is also doubtful that a psychiatrist would be the first to make a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. Historically, psychiatrists use to provide therapy services, though the vast majority of psychiatrists today limit their practice to providing medical treat-

education ment (i.e., medication) for disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc.

Master’s Level Counselors: The vast majority of professionals providing mental health treatment services are counselors who hold a master’s degree in a field such as counseling, social work, marriage and family therapy, etc. Similar to psychologists, counselors provide therapy services in relation to conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc.

In qualified individuals, there is likely no difference between the therapy services provided by a psychologist or counselor. If medication is needed, a psychiatrist would be the professional of choice. Likewise, if testing for learning disabilities, ADHD, memory, etc. is needed, then a psychologist would be the necessary provider. Parents are encouraged to talk with potential providers to make sure that they are working with a highly qualified professional, and that it is a good match for their child’s/family’s needs.

From the Douglas County School System Attendence Policy

Increased educational accountability and changes in Georgia Law have led to a greater emphasis on school attendance. Outlined below is a summary of the attendance policy for the Douglas County School System for all students in grades K-12. Please read carefully and if you have questions, contact the principal of your child’s school.

Any time your child is absent or tardy to school, you must provide within three days a written excuse stating the reason for the student’s absence. After the 10th day of absence due to illness, the excuse must come from a medical doctor. Students will be excused only for the following reasons: 1. Personal illness or attendance in school endangers the health of the student or others or conditions rendering attendance impossible or hazardous to student health or safety.

2. A serious illness or death in a student’s immediate family necessitating absence from school.

3. A court order or an order by a governmental agency, including a pre-induction physical examination for service in the armed forces, mandating absence from school.

4. Religious holidays, necessitating absence from school.

5. Suspension from school or other actions by the school system that prohibits a child from attending school for a period of time.

6. One day for voter registration.

7. Students sent home from school with head lice will be excused for the day sent home and one more day per occurrence. Any additional absences will be unexcused.

8. Students will be counted present when they are serving as pages of the Georgia General Assembly.

Students shall be in attendance for a minimum of one-half of the required instructional time to be counted as present for the entire day.

Every parent, guardian or other person residing in Georgia is required either to enroll and send children in their care and charge, between the ages of six and 16 to a public or private school or provide a home study program for these children which meets the requirements as set forth in law. Any student who is subject to compulsory education requirements and is deemed to be truant is subject to progressive disciplinary consequences. Students who accumulate more than 10 school days of unexcused absences in any semester may be ineligible for an instructional permit or driver’s license. Students who already possess an instructional permit or driver’s license may have such suspended (O.C.G.A. 40-4-22).

Any parent, guardian, or other person residing in this state who has control or charge of a child or children enrolled in the Douglas County School System who accumulates more than five (5) unexcused absences in violation of the Compulsory Education Law, (O.C.G.A. 20-2-690.1) shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to a fine not less than $25.00 and not greater than $100.00, imprisonment not to exceed 30 days, community service or any combination of such penalties, at the discretion of the court having jurisdiction.

Piranhas qualify for State Meet The West Georgia Swim Club has set out with big goals for the 2010-11 season. Along with big goals comes a lot of blood, sweat and tears and much effort and hardwork. The Piranhas have had an incredibly successful season so far and are coached by Alisha Jordan, Laurie MacDonald, Ashley Fundora and Kim Fundora.

The Piranhas have a lot to show for their season including those 10-under who have qualified for the state meet. Vanessa Battle has just started her second season with the Piranhas and has qualified to compete in the 50 yard breaststroke. Chelsie Denton, another second season swimmer, has qualified in the 200im,100im, 200 free, 100 free, 50 free, 100 fly, 50 fly and 100 breaststroke. Madison Fundora has already qualified for the 200im, 200 free, 100 backstroke and 50 fly. She is hundreths of seconds away in many other events and has two remaining meets to qualify. Maycee Fundora is the youngest to represent the Piranhas and will be swimming the backstroke leg in the 200yd medley relay and will also swim in the free relay. Maycee is also hundreths of a second away from qualifying in the 10-under 50 backstroke and 100 backstroke.

The Piranhas are excited and are really turning up the heat at practices.

Chairman’s Corner

Tom Worthan, Chairman Douglas County Board of Commissioners

Adult Detention and Law Enforcement Center Progress Report On February 1st, Douglas County officials signed the documents to sell $106 million of bonds to finance the new jail and law enforcement center being built near the Courthouse. Douglas County received an AA2 rating from Moody’s and an AA-minus rating from Standard and Poor’s, both of which are very high for a government. The higher the rating, the lower the interest rate. The high rating was granted the County due to its low tax rate, its low debt, and history of responsible budgets.

The 1,500-bed adult detention and law enforcement center is being built on a 40-acre site off Fairburn Road at Interstate 20.

The bonds are secured by a one-cent special local option sales tax approved by the voters in November 2009 with collections starting last April. The total estimated project costs are $115,763,213, of which almost $9 million will be paid from pay-as-you-go SPLOST collections. Approximately $106 million of the project costs will be paid for by the bonds.

The cost of the project was originally estimated to be $120 million, but the project architects, engineers, and designers have been able to bring down the cost to the $115 million, a savings of $5 million. The first coupon on the bonds will be dated August 2011, and the last one will be August 2016. The Special Local Option Sales Tax will expire in 2016.

The estimates for the bonds recognize the current state of the economy, and sales tax revenues are projected to have zero percent growth for 2011 and 2012; one percent for 2013 and 2014; one-half percent for 2015; and zero percent growth for 2016. The economy is predicted to grow in excess of these estimates.

Construction on the new facility began in November of last year, and will be completed in late 2012. The project will use 28 percent local workers in the first phase of work. The first phase includes the major construction of the steel cells along with electrical and plumbing work. 28 percent local participation is a good achievement since this type work is done by only a few National companies that specialize in jail construction. Additional phases of construction will allow greater local participation since they will be smaller in scope and able to be handled and bonded by smaller companies. The future phases will also include specialty contracts, such as windows, glazing, flooring and other areas that local firms should be able to submit competitive bids on.

Development Authority of Douglas County Executive Director The Development Authority of Douglas County has announced that Christopher Pumphrey, formerly with the Georgia Department of Economic Development, has accepted the position as Executive Director of the Authority. He has begun work in the Authority’s offices on Bowden Street in downtown Douglasville.

Mr. Pumphrey’s responsibilities with the Department of Economic Development included recruiting companies to locate their businesses to the State of Georgia. During his tenure with the State, he successfully recruited over 20 companies to Georgia, resulting in 3,770 new jobs and investments totaling more than $836 million. He served as lead State representative on two projects recognized by Trade and Industry Development Magazine as Community Impact Projects of the Year.

As Executive Director, Mr. Pumphrey will serve as the Authority’s liaison to all agencies in the State of Georgia that promote and encourage economic development, including the Department of Economic Development, the Department of Community Affairs, the Department of Labor, and the Technical College System of Georgia. Mr. Pumphrey will likewise engage with private concerns that participate in economic development, including GreyStone Power, Georgia Power, and Atlanta Gas Light.

The purpose of the Development Authority is the promotion of industry, commerce, trade, and job opportunities, and Mr. Pumphrey will lead the Authority’s efforts to continue the extraordinary record of success it has achieved over the last several years.

In the past 13 years, the Development Authority of Douglas County has attracted over $2.5 billion in investment in the County, resulting in more than 8,000 new jobs, including Maytag, Staples, Google, the American Red Cross, J W Pepper, Price-Waterhouse-Cooper, and more.

Mr. Pumphrey is a 2004 graduate of Morehouse College, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. Following graduation, Mr. Pumphrey participated in real estate development and land use training provided by the International Economic Development Council, and he is currently pursuing a certificate in land development from Southern Tech. He and his wife Rosalind are residents of Lithia Springs.

Douglas County will continue to be aggressive in our recruitment of new industry and new jobs to Douglas County!

Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival moves to the New Courthouse The Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival will continue this year, but at a new location.

This year, the annual festival will be held at the Douglas County Courthouse on Hospital Drive. The Standard Flower Show will be held in the Courthouse Atrium; the table competition will held in the Courthouse Gallery; classes and seminars will be held in Citizen’s Hall; and the Artist’s Marketplace will be held in the Courthouse parking lots.

Garden tours will occur throughout the County, and the popular Moonlight and Magnolias progressive dinner garden party will be in private gardens away from the Courthouse.

The festival is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, June 4th and 5th, with the theme of “Abracadabra”, which is the name of a variety of hydrangea that will be featured during this year’s festival.

The festival will celebrate its fourth anniversary in 2011. Last year’s festival drew visitors from 55 Georgia cities, 10 states and 2 foreign countries.

The festival is named in memory of the late Penny McHenry, an Atlanta resident and founder of the American Hydrangea Society. McHenry became interested in the flower after someone gave her a hydrangea following the death of her daughter.

For more information on the festival, please visit www.PennyMcHenryHydrangeaFestival.com, and mark your calendars for the biggest and best Hydrangea Festival yet!

Mason Creek Road Bridge Update Construction on the Mason Creek Road bridge replacement has begun.

Over the past few weeks, Douglas County Department of Transportation crews were given permission to remove the remaining part of the bridge that was damaged during the September 2009 floods. The remaining structure was needed to be torn down before Spring due to environmental concerns - bridge structures along Mason Creek are used for wildlife spawning, and construction could not occur during the spawning season.

The Georgia Department of Transportation will bid out the new bridge with construction anticipated to begin in late Spring. The construction time is estimated at one year, and will include a new bridge that will be approximately 6 feet higher than the old one, and a new realignment of the adjacent intersection of Mason Creek Road and Cowan Mill Road that will lower its elevation, and include the installation of turn lanes.

The estimated cost is $1.8 million and the project is being funded by the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Keeping you informed!

Best wishes,

THOUGHTS FROM THE MAYOR

AnnuAl StAte of the City AddreSS 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

To the members of the Douglasville City Council, to those attending this meeting of the City Council, and to those who are viewing this presentation on CITI TV or the City’s web site: I want to welcome you to this 2011 State of the City address.

I have a very positive annual report to make to you, including reports on the strong financial position of the City, reports on recent or upcoming completion of several long-term projects, including the recently opened new Hunter Park Community Center, and the exceptional new Public Safety and Municipal Court facilities that is scheduled on open in a few days.

Also, this will be a positive annual report in spite of the challenges faced in calendar 2010 due to continuing problems with the economy and the resulting decline in revenues. Our fiscally conservative approach of the past has enabled the City of Douglasville to maintain quality services while reducing the City budget.

I am proud the City of Douglasville did not raise property taxes during 2010, even while the Douglas County Board of Commissioners and the Douglas County Board of Education were raising their respective property tax millage rate.

This is the 15th consecutive year where the City of Douglasville property tax rate was either reduced or left unchanged.

I’ll talk in more detail about these accomplishments, and others, during this address.

Certainly, I will focus this report on events during the past 12 months; however, I plan to deliver this annual report with a broader perspective. I have started my 16th year of public service to the citizens of Douglasville: four years as a member of the City Council, and now moving into my 12th year as Mayor of this great City.

For some of my previous annual reports, I have chosen a theme to address past events in our City. Occasionally, I have focused on our “needs” or on our “opportunities” and “challenges.” Other years, I have focused on our “goals” or on our “successes”.

As I look back over the past 15-years and as I focus particular attention on calendar 2010, I believe it is appropriate for this year’s State of the City address theme to be “accomplishments and achievements”.

PUBLIC SAFETY I want to open this 2011 State of the City address by talking about our accomplishments in the area of Public Safety.

The most visible sign of our achievements in the area of Public Safety is the new home for the City Police Department and Munici-

pal Court and a new and improved focus on management of the Department. Moral is at an all time high and public participation by the Public Safety management team has produced positive results.

The men and women who constitute our City Police Department and Municipal Court worked for many years in very inadequate facilities. During my early years in City government, the growth option chosen was - to buy and move into another downtown building.

Over a period of several years we looked at a couple of existing structures where everything could be consolidated under one roof, and we tried to secure SPLOST funds for this purpose. Frankly, nothing worked. But I was determined to find a way to provide adequate facilities for our public safety department.

Following discussions early in 2008, I decided to take a bold step and ask the voters of Douglasville to consider imposing a special property tax on themselves to pay for new facilities.

You know the rest of the story. On September 16, 2008, voters approved issuance of these G. O. bonds. A 20-acre site was purchased on the west side of Fairburn Road south of Interstate 20.

The City Council awarded the design/build contract to New South Construction Company. A majestic building of 70,000 square feet now has been constructed, which should provide sufficient space for the Police Department and for the Municipal Court for the next 25 years. The complex includes several smaller buildings, one of which has training and meeting space on the first floor and a modern firing range in the basement.

The building has been completed, and the Police Department and Municipal Court currently are moving into it. An open house for the public was held on February 26-27, 2011. Frankly, this is a dream-come-true for many people, and I am delighted for Police Chief Chris Womack and Judge Rollins and all of our excellent police officers and court employees because they now have a wellequipped, functional facility to better serve the public.

By the way, as I promised the voters, a downtown precinct will be maintained in the old Police Station.

When you compare the Police Department management style and the facilities we now have -- as compared with what this department had when I joined the City Council in 1996 -- there absolutely is no comparison.

I do want to take time, though, to mention three other topics concerning public safety: First, I want to point to the widely acclaimed Youth Against Violence program, which has been spearheaded by Deputy Chief Gary Sparks. This program was spotlighted during a workshop held during the 2010 winter meeting of the Georgia Municipal Association.

Douglasville’s Youth Against Violence program has influenced many young people in a very positive way; and with all of the negative pressures that confront young people today; I believe it is imporAd rates start at $39 a month - 38,000 copies distributed.

government tant for law enforcement to be pro-active. I am pleased with what our Police Department has accomplished.

Second, I want to call attention to the recent improvements to the City of Douglasville’s radio communications system, which basically serves a public safety function. The 800 MHz radio systems, which was paid for and installed by this City government more than a decade ago, had been a state-of-the-art analog system; however, new digital technology had lessened its performance and value. And with the upgrade price tag of $2.5 million, the City of Douglasville faced a gigantic hurdle.

But the needed bridge was built and crossed through a cooperative agreement between my office and Cobb County Commission Chairman, Sam Olens’ office. Chairman Olens assigned the Director of Cobb County’s Radio Communications Office, Tracy Roberts, to write and submit a Georgia Emergency Management Agency application for a $2.5 million grant to upgrade Douglasville’s system and to connect it to Cobb’s system. We received the grant and the upgrades are complete.

Finally, as I conclude the Public Safety portion of this annual report, I want to reflect back several years. For more than a decade, the governments of Douglasville and Douglas County had been trying to agree on an implementation plan to build a new Douglas County Fire Station No. 10. I and some of my City Council colleagues wanted to be sure the station stayed in the downtown area.

The Board of Commissioners eventually agreed, but finding an appropriate site seemed almost impossible.

The answer, as many of you know, was to close Pray Street that had been located between the National Guard Armory and the former First Baptist Church. The new fire station was built on this old street right of way and on an adjacent section of land which been part of the church parking lot. The result was a perfect fit for the new fire station; and, in fact, this project received an award from the Georgia Downtown Association for the best in-fill development in a downtown area in 2006. Also, if you take a ride to Carrollton, you will see this same station built on the east side of town.

PARKS AND RECREATION Less than a week ago, we had the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the City of Douglasville’s new Hunter Park Community Center. This beautiful structure located between Gurley Road and the lake provides Douglasville citizens with a much-needed and long-awaited facility where various kinds of meetings, functions, events, and activities can be held. Containing some 16,000 square feet, the Hunter Park Community Center includes activity and meeting rooms of several sizes, as well as the City Parks and Recreation Department’s administrative offices.

Meanwhile, the reconstruction of the rest of Hunter Park continues. When completed this spring, we’ll have new tennis courts, several renovated ball fields as well as a new ball field complex, new playgrounds, improved drainage facilities, and sufficient parking for major activities. However, let me point out that use of the ball fields will not occur until this fall, because we need a full growing season for the grass.

The heavy rains and flooding of September 2009 compromised Please tell our advertisers you saw them in CHNV!

the integrity of the Hunter Park dam, and the City continues to work with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regarding major repairs to the dam. Once repairs have been completed, the train tracks on top of this dam can be re-installed; and at long last the train can be retuned to service. I often remind my City Council colleagues that we need to get the train up and running because my three grandsons (Brent, Mitchell, and Parker) will be out of college before they are able to ride the train.

Most of the improvements being made in Hunter Park are being paid from the City’s 2002 SPLOST program, with some additional money from the City’s general fund as well as the previously mentioned flood-damage repair funds from FEMA. The City’s new Parks and Recreation Director Bennett Oliver -who was recommended by me to the department’s top position in June 2010 -- has been very involved in this work in Hunter Park. I am confident Bennett and his staff will do an outstanding job in initiating and operating programs in the new Hunter Park, as well as in the other parks operated by the City of Douglasville.

In the interest of time, I’ll abbreviate my additional comments concerning the City’s Parks and Recreation Department.

Fowler Field Park is back in normal operations following extensive repairs after the devastating September 2009 flood. Jessie Davis Park is returning to its regular schedule, after disruptions in 2010 when the department’s administrative offices moved into a section of the Alice J. Minor Hawthorne Community Center due to the Hunter Park reconstruction.

Personally, I am pleased the City of Douglasville was able to keep the West Pines Golf Club open in 2010 when many public and private golf courses were shutting down as the result of the poor economy and as a result of the bad weather. It was necessary to restructure the arrangements the City has had with HMS Golf since the West Pines course was rebuilt, but all of this has been done with minimum cost to the City government while maintaining this open space near the heart of Douglasville and while providing an affordable public golf course for our community. We will continue to monitor West Pines’ operations during 2011, and will make additional changes if needed.I am proud that during the time I have been Mayor of the City of Douglasville, we have successfully expanded and improved parks and recreation facilities and opportunities for citizens, young and old, in all geographic sections of this community. I am very pleased with the City of Douglasville’s accomplishments in the area of parks and recreation.

TRANSPORTATION When I became a member of the City Council back in 1996, the City of Douglasville was working with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) on a project to relocate Georgia Highway 92, including construction of the first grade separation crossing of this highway at the Norfolk Southern Railroad. After many years of experiencing delays, disappointments, and disruptions – but also after many years refusing to “toss in the towel” on this project -the Highway 92 Relocation Project is moving into the right of way acquisition stage. Basically, the City has achieved its goals with

government this major project, and now the responsibility shifts from the City of Douglasville to the Georgia Department of Transportation. Over the next few months property purchases of the required right-of-way will take place.

I am delighted we have reached this point in a long, often frustrating process. I want to thank GDOT and the City Council for continuing to work with me and our staff and this community to make this project a reality. And especially I want to thank Congressman David Scott for his strong, unyielding support of this project and its funding...working on this project in Washington and here in Georgia. Without Congressman Scott’s interest and hard work, this project would be dead.

Improving Georgia 92 -- including the new Highway 92 Bridge over I-20 -- has been a priority for many years. I am proud to have been the Mayor of Douglasville during this journey. We never gave up on the goal to improve the roadways and byways of this City.

Also, there are several other transportation projects I want to identify in this report. Let me start by pointing to projects that basically were completed in 2010: First, the Bright Star Road Connector between Georgia Highway 5 and Bright Star Road. Construction of this connector was identified as a City goal more than 10 years ago. Although we were not able to pay for the Bright Star Road Connector with SPLOST funds because of increased construction costs on other projects, I and members of the City Council were so committed to seeing this needed road built that we appropriated the required money from the City’s general fund reserves.

I think the public is seeing the value of this new connector, and I look forward in 2011 to completion of modifications to the new connector’s intersection with Bright Star Road.

Second, the Georgia Highway 5 improvements between Rose Avenue and I-20, including the Rose Avenue intersection. The City acquired the necessary right of way. Then, when it appeared GDOT was not going to be able to move forward with this project due to lack of available State funding, the City of Douglasville pushed for the use of Federal economic stimulus funds; and the result was that this project became the first new road construction project in Georgia to receive this particular Federal government fiscal support. The value of this project can be seen on a daily basis, and certainly it was evident during the recent holiday season.

Third, the completion of improvements on Chapel Hill Road from I-20 to south of Stewart Mill Road. Much of this work was at the intersection of Chapel Hill Road with Douglas Boulevard and Timber Ridge Drive. Primary funding was with City SPLOST dollars, supplemented by GDOT funds.

I believe the value of these improvements in the Chapel Hill Road - Douglas Boulevard area -- as well as the special traffic signal control project we implement for the holiday season – were seen in the generally smooth flow of shoppers’ vehicles. And when you think about the gridlock situation we encountered about four years ago shortly before Christmas, I think we all can agree the City now has accomplished its goal of improving the flow of holiday traffic in the vicinity of Arbor Place Mall.

Now, looking back in time let me remind you the first major project to be completed under the 2002 SPLOST program was the widening of Hospital Drive. Another significant SPLOST project completed a couple of years ago consisted of several intersection improvements on Chapel Hill Road, as well as one on Stewart Mill Road near Chapel Hill Road.

Reflecting over events of the past few years, I am proud that I have been Mayor at the time the City did the largest amount of street resurfacing and new road construction in the City’s history.

Likewise, I am pround of the sidewalks that have been built, so a network of sidewalks can be found from the Arbor Place Mall area over to Georgia Highway 92 and to downtown and then northward to Jessie Davis Park.

In concluding this part of my State of the City address, I want to commend the City Maintenance Department and its director Greg Roberts for their work throughout the year in the routine maintenance of City streets. While we realize the importance of their work -- and their commitment to that work -- when we have icy road conditions such as we did last month, we better can appreciate what this department does on a continuing basis. A significant amount of their work is often completed under very hostile environmental conditions.

The City’s Maintenance Department and Sanitation Department strive to keep our City streets clean, and I am proud that the City now has extended these efforts to that section of Interstate 20 within the corporate limits of Douglasville.

Keeping the grass mowed and the trash picked up in our City is important to me; and our City employees strive to do a good job with this task, both along our local streets and adjacent to I-20. I am delighted to see this long-time priority of mine paying dividends.

Let me note that recent agreements between the City government and the Georgia Department of Transportation enable us to mow the grass, pick up the trash, and initiate the first beautification project along I-20.

To the City’s Maintenance Department and Sanitation Department, to Keep Douglasville Beautiful, to Sheriff Miller and to the inmate and community service crews involved in this overall effort, I say: Keep up the good work!

SANITATION Let me move to another area of City government, which also involves the City Sanitation Department and Keep Douglasville Beautiful.

Too often we take for granted the work of the Sanitation Department. But if that rare occasion occurs when someone’s house is missed when the garbage truck goes down the street, you can be sure the skipped individual does not regard it as a trivial thing.

Fortunately for me and for each of the City’s other elected officials, we almost never receive a complaint about the City’s trash and garbage collection services. And that’s great!

For years I have said that our sanitation workers are the only City government employees who make contact with every family in Douglasville on a weekly basis. And whether it’s handling a resident’s, or a business’, recycling or trash or garbage – and usually Ad rates start at $39 a month - 38,000 copies distributed.

government it’s a combination of all three -- I think this local government has a solid track record.

Our Sanitation Department crews have handled residential trash and garbage collection and disposal for years. And several years ago in order to improve customer service, the City stopped using a private company for recycling services and started doing it ourselves. The pile of complaints dried up quickly, and the City’s residential recycling operation works smoothly. And that’s another accomplishment of which I’m very proud.

Late in 2010, the City Council decided to move forward and implement a plan agreed to some months earlier; namely, when the existing contracts with two private companies expire on June 30, 2011, the City Sanitation Department will assume responsibility for the collection and disposal of commercial trash and garbage.

Preparations are underway for this changeover.

There will be no change in the rates paid by the commercial customers, but this new arrangement will ensure the City is able to maintain excellent customer services.

Thus far, I have reported to you on Public Safety, Parks and Recreation, Transportation, and Sanitation.

Now, I want to report on the subject of Economic Development, and I want to divide this subject into four parts.

THE CITY’S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY During my four years as a member of the City Council and then during my first several years as Mayor, I became more and more concerned over the City’s government role -- more specifically, I became more and more concerned over what I perceived to be the lack of a City government role -- in the important area of Economic Development. The Development Authority of Douglas County was identified as being countywide in scope, with its scope including the geographic area of the City of Douglasville. But most of the time, I did not feel the geographic area of the City of Douglasville was viewed by the County Development Authority in the same way that the unincorporated part of Douglas County was being viewed. And I did not see that the City’s elected officials -- who have economic development among their responsibilities on behalf of the City government -- being involved in economic development locally.

By mid-spring of 2008, I was convinced that the City of Douglasville needed to establish its own Economic Development Authority. A majority of the City Council members in office in the summer of 2008 agreed, and the Development Authority of the City of Douglasville -- also known as the CDDA -- was established. The City Council appointed a seven-member Board of Directors, with the Mayor being one of these members.

The CDDA now has been operational for almost 2-1/2 years.

With Cindy Pocali as the Authority Chairman and with Jamie Gilbert now having been on board for more than 1-1/2 years as Executive Director, I believe the CDDA is doing a very good job for the City of Douglasville. Having an active CDDA is a major achievement.

Despite a continuation of this very tough economy, the City’s Development Authority has been successful while working in three key areas: targeted industries, adaptive reuse of existing buildings, and the use of business incentives to generate more jobs in Douglasville.

Please tell our advertisers you saw them in CHNV!

Let me comment briefly on each area during 2010.

First, targeted industries such as advanced manufacturing, health care, and information technology. In 2010, these included Medline and Mitchell’s Specialized Fabrication in the advanced manufacturing area, Kaiser Permanente in the health care area, and the Ross Group in the IT area. The result was 187 new or retained jobs, all of which have salaries that well exceed the average salary for Douglasville - Douglas County.

Second, adaptive reuse of vacant industrial and retail properties in the City. In addition to the four companies I’ve just mentioned, this list includes Georgia Highlands College in the Douglasville Town Center and Garden Ridge in the former Old Time Pottery building. Combined, these projects represent the reuse of more than 750,000 square feet of vacant property.

Third, business incentives. The CDDA was aggressive in its business development efforts and established new incentives to support its economic development activities. In June 2010 the City Council unanimously approved a City Tax Abatement Policy that allows new and expanding businesses to accelerate their tax savings; and, of course, this has a tremendous impact on a company’s operating expenditures during its first few years of operations. This new policy was crucial for securing Medline.

URBAN REDEVELOPMENT The City of Douglasville has had a Downtown Development Authority -- a DDA -- and a Main Street Program for a number of years, with staffing provided by the City Community and Downtown Services Department. There have been many improvements made in the downtown area in recent years, and the cumulative impact has sustained our central business district even during the current economic slump. Our building occupancy rate has remained high.

Not being willing to rest on past performances, the City government has continued to look for ways to work with the private sector in the downtown area. The newest initiative involves the groups I’ve just mentioned, along with the Development Authority of the City of Douglasville; and this is the establishment of an Urban Redevelopment Agency. In fact, I and members of the City Council created the Agency’s board only two weeks ago. We expect 2011 to be another important year in the continuing redevelopment of and improvements to the downtown area and the nearby residential areas...both on the Northside and to the south.

DOWNTOWN CONFERENCE CENTER One of the projects completed during my service, as Mayor of which I am the most proud is the Downtown Conference Center. It has been a major force in the revitalization of the downtown area, and it continues to be a valuable asset to this entire community.

When the Master Plan for the future development of downtown Douglasville was prepared a couple of years ago, an integral part of this plan was the construction of a larger conference center across Church Street from City Hall and the current Downtown Conference Center. A parking garage to serve this new facility and the downtown business community is to be part of this overall project.

This project remains very viable, and I believe 2011 is the time for its implementation.

government Members of Douglas County’s State legislative delegation told the City in January 2010 that they wanted to wait until the 2011 legislative session to handle local legislative to increase the hotel-motel tax by one-cent to provide an essential part of the funding package for this project. (The General Assembly already has enacted the law to enable local governments to enact this one-cent hotel-motel tax for purposes of economic development in downtown areas, and we want to use these funds to help pay for the parking garage to be adjacent to the new conference center.)

A meeting was held this week with our State Representatives and State Senators to discuss the Conference Center. They agreed to move the Local Legislation forward to fund construction of the first ever downtown parking garage adjacent to the new Conference Center.

I firmly believe the future of downtown Douglasville is tightly linked with the presence of a vibrant conference center operation. I look forward to seeing the completion of this new conference center and parking garage in the middle of our central business district.

TOURISM The City’s Community and Downtown Services Department not only is responsible for the downtown services about which I have been speaking during the past few minutes but the department also operates the City’s Convention and Visitors Bureau (the CVB). This is our primary tool for promoting tourism and for helping to generate events which bring people to Douglasville.

Time will not permit me to talk in detail about the various activities of the CVB. But I would like to point out that our staff continuously works with the local lodging establishments, restaurants, Arbor Place Mall, and other businesses in encouraging people to visit Douglasville...to stay here while attending events in Atlanta, to shop, etc. While we are not usually a destination point in itself, Douglasville’s proximity to various attractions found in Atlanta make us a market for tour groups, family reunions, and day-travelers to Atlanta.

Speaking of Arbor Place Mall, I want to go back to my final days as a member of the City Council and the start of my tenure as Mayor: At the time of the groundbreaking ceremonies for Arbor Place Mall on October 21, 1998, and at the time of its opening on October 13, 1999 -- only 51 weeks later -- Douglasville was not considered a regional retail destination. But that changed overnight, and Douglasville has never been the same.

Certainly, Arbor Place Mall and the various “big boxes” which opened at approximately the same time -- Sam’s Club, Target, a number of restaurants, etc. -- brought a lot more traffic and new law enforcement challenges. But it also put Douglasville on the map as the retail center of the west metro area, with this influence extending into east Alabama. I am pleased to have been Mayor of Douglasville at the time of this transition.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Although the City of Douglasville has reduced the size of its Development Services Department as a direct result of the dramatic slowdown in new construction in this community and throughout the metro area, I believe we have continued to provide high quality

services in the areas of inspections, plan reviews, engineering, and zoning administration. Likewise, we have maintained a very good quality of service with our code enforcement, planning, and GIS functions.

Jeff Noles is responsible for this department, as well as Information Technology and CITI TV. We appreciate the work he and his staff have done during the time of curtailment, just as we appreciated the work they did several years ago when the City of Douglasville was the fastest growing municipality in Georgia.

CITI TV Speaking of CITI TV, let me say emphatically that the City’s government access channel -- CITI TV -- continues to do a terrific job.

On Comcast, it is digital channel 22. In the Tributary community, generally it is viewed on channel 98. Many people catch the programming on the internet on mycititv.com But by whatever means, people watching CITI TV are receiving a lot of good information concerning this community and the activities of this local government. Kellie Hunter and her team deliver a high quality product day-in and day-out.

CITI TV’s lineup continues to include City Council meetings; monthly programs featuring various City officials; special events; and community activities.

FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION I devoted a lot of time in my State of the City address last January to the economy and the City’s fiscal condition. Because of strong, decisive actions taken by the City Council, our staff, and me in 2009 to cut City budgets and to reduce the size of the City’s work force, we did not have to take the drastic steps in 2010 that were forced upon many local governments and state governments.

First, I want to address the City’s budget situation. The overall budget for the City of Douglasville government for fiscal year 2010 - 2011 was cut by 7 percent from the adjusted overall budget for the previous fiscal year. The reason for this overall budget cutback was declining revenues.

In calendar 2010, each City government department was told to reduce by 4 percent its spending plans for the upcoming 2010 - 2011 fiscal year. Also, salaries were frozen for the second year in a row. The only exception to the mandate for a 4 percent budget reduction pertained to two new buildings set to open early in calendar 2011. Certainly, there would be higher utility costs for the Public Safety and Municipal Court Building, as well as some additional expenses for cleaning services for the building and the grounds. And we planned for higher costs at the new Hunter Park Community Center.

Revenue reductions were felt in many areas: property taxes, sales taxes, occupational licenses, hotel-motel occupancy taxes, building permits, and even sanitation service fees. All of this reflected a continuing weakness in the local economy, which was consistent with statewide and national trends.

But in the face of these revenue declines, I am very proud of how the City of Douglasville responded. Unlike many governmental bodies, we did not place a heavier load on already overburdened taxpayers to make up the slack in our revenues. Just as families and Ad rates start at $39 a month - 38,000 copies distributed.

government private businesses have had to cut back, we felt the City government should do the same.

Because of decreasing property values and the corresponding decline in the tax digest, property tax revenues received by the City of Douglasville dropped in 2010 by $832,683...approximately 12 percent.

Despite this drop in the digest, I am very pleased this City government rejected the approach of raising the tax millage rate. Thus, while the Douglas County Board of Commissioners raised the tax rate from 2009 to 2010 by 1.968 mills and while the Douglas County Board of Education raised the tax rate from 2009 to 2010 by 2.75 mills, the City of Douglasville basically held the line on the property tax millage rate.

For the 15th consecutive year this City either reduced the property tax rate or held it the same.

I would like to take this opportunity to review with you how your City has changed financially and in other ways since you elected me in 2000. Over this 11-year period the population of our City has increased by 66%. From 18,700 to 31,004. Your General Fund Operating Budget has only increased by only 56%. The total number of City Employees during this time period has been reduced.

We have a smaller staff today than when I took office in 2000. Your Government owned Capital Assets have increased from 103 million to over 198 million dollars. Your General Fund property tax rate has been reduced by 16%. And the amount of money spent on Public Safety has increased from 33% to 49% of the total budget.

Early in this State of the City presentation, I talked about the new Public Safety and Municipal Court Building being built with General Obligation bond funds and about the new Hunter Park Community Center being built primarily with SPLOST funds. I want to look back a few years to another major building construction project by the City of Douglasville, and this was a unique project that enabled a significant immediate need in the community to be met while providing a long-term asset for our City government.

Several State agencies located in our community – including the Department of Family and Children Services -- were housed in crowded, inadequate facilities. The City worked with the State of Georgia, with the result being construction by the City government of a building of some 43,000 square feet to house these agencies and with the State Properties Commission paying annual lease payments and maintenance fees equal to the yearly debt retirement costs. After 20 years, the building will be paid for and the City can continue to lease that space or use it to meet local government office needs starting in the year 2026.

When the facility was dedicated on July 28, 2006, Governor Sonny Perdue commended the initiative of the City of Douglasville and the involved State agencies for creating a Human Services Center to provide a “one-stop shop” for several State agencies.

To conclude my report on Finance and Administration, let me simply call attention to three components of City government with which I work closely. These are: the City Clerk’s Office, with Joyce Stone having been the City Clerk since 2002; the City Attorney’s Office, with Joel Dodson having been the City Attorney for 30 years Please tell our advertisers you saw them in CHNV!

and with Suzan Littlefield having been the on-staff Chief Assistant City Attorney for 16 years; and the City Manager’s office, with Bill Osborne having been City Manager for 20 years.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION During 2010 the governments of Douglas County and the City of Douglasville had a couple of well-publicized disagreements: the design of the intersection of the City’s new Bright Star Road Connector with Bright Star Road, as well as how design and implementation costs would be prorated; also, responsibility for handling plan reviews and inspections for the new Douglas County Adult Detention and Law Enforcement Center.

However, before the end of the year the two governments had reached agreements on both matters, and I think the results will be beneficial to citizens throughout this community. As in the past when there have been disagreements, the elected officials eventually have found common ground.

During this same time period, Douglasville and Douglas County were working cooperatively on various other projects. Our two governments have a long record of positive intergovernmental cooperation in many areas. The Douglasville Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office jointly operate a F.I.N.D. Unit on Interstate 20 and have a combined Major Crimes Squad.

Commission Chairman Tom Worthan and I are members of the Regional Roundtable, a 21-member body of elected officials created by the 2010 Georgia General Assembly to develop a comprehensive transportation improvement program for the metro region that would be financed through a one-cent sales tax if approved by voters of this 10-county area in 2012. The Regional Roundtable’s membership consists of the 10 County Commission Chairs, the Mayor of Atlanta, and 10 other Mayors (one from each County).

Many of the key decisions and recommendations will be made by a five-member Executive Committee, which was elected on December 17 by the Roundtable’s membership.

I am pleased to report that I was successful in convincing my fellow Mayors to support Chairman Worthan for one of these five seats. He was elected to serve on the Executive Committee along with a mayor from Cobb County, a mayor from DeKalb County, a mayor from Gwinnett County, and the commission chairman from Henry County.

While I’m talking about intergovernmental cooperation, I want to point to the continuing excellent working relationship that exists between the City of Douglasville and the Douglasville - Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (WSA). I have served on the WSA Board during my tenure as Mayor, and always have been impressed with how the City and WSA have worked together for the benefit of this community.

On a statewide level, I must mention the importance of the relationships the City of Douglasville has with other cities through the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA). I currently serve on the GMA Board of Directors, the Executive Board, Legislative Policy Council, and currently serve as the Chairman of the Boards of Trustees for the Georgia Municipal Employees Benefit System (GMEBS), the Georgia Municipal Association Worker’s Compensation Self-Insurance

government Fund, and the Georgia Interlocal Risk Management Agency. The Retirement Fund Net Assets alone exceed $965 million. The number of participants has increased 27% over the last 5-years with a total number of participants totaling 36,144.

I can tell you the City of Douglasville -- and the same can be said of the other participating cities in the State – benefits greatly from its joint activities under the GMA umbrella, whether on programs such as those I mentioned above or whether in working with the Georgia General Assembly and the executive branch of State government.

It’s a clear example of how working together reaps far more benefits than going it alone and trying always to re-invent the wheel. I believe my investment of time serving on these various organizations brings a great deal of creditability and recognition to our city.

CUSTOMER SERVICE During my years of service as an elected official in the City of Douglasville, one of my goals has been to have this City government provide quality public service. As I frequently have commented, government does not manufacture goods. Basically, its mission should be to deliver good customer service, and I have stressed this to our staff members for many years.

Our citizens’ perspective on this City government’s approach to good customer service is not limited to what our police officers do and what our top appointed staff members do, though certainly these are important to achieving and maintaining a good customer service record. Very important also are how services are delivered by our receptionists and our sanitation workers...in short, everyone who has direct contact with the public.

Overall, I think our City employees do a good job in delivering good customer service. We have worked at making this happen, and I trust good customer service will be a point of emphasis for us in 2011.

SPECIAL THANKS I want to say a word of special thanks to some people. As Mayor, I want each person who serves on a City board, committee, commission, or authority to know how much I personally appreciate the dedication of his or her time, energy, and talent.

We all owe a debt of thanks to those of you who have volunteered to serve in this way. The City of Douglasville is a better place to live, work, and play because of the commitment of these individuals.

While I appreciate the commitment and the work of each City employee, I especially want to thank the senior appointed staff for their service over the years. For most of these people, during my term as Mayor, I recommended your first appointment to the City Council and that service has been exceptional.

-Municipal Court Judge Keith Rollins -City Clerk Joyce Stone.

-Community and Downtown Services Director Marcia Hampton.

-City Manager Bill Osborne.

Last, but certainly not least, among those to whom I want to say a special thanks to, are the members of the Douglasville City Council.

I think we had a productive 2010. There were times in which there was strong agreement; and there were times when we were not in agreement, because it is rare for eight elected officials to always have unanimous agreement. But our intentions were to do what we felt was best for this community and those that we represent.

To Councilman John Schildroth, thank you for serving as the Mayor Pro Tem in 2010. To you and your six colleagues on the City Council, thank you for working with me and with your City staff to make Douglasville a better place in which to live.

CLOSING REMARKS It always is hard to decide how to conclude an annual State of the City address. And this year is a little more difficult than years past. There is always more to report than time permits. And that has been particularly true this year because 2010 certainly was a year of achievement, a year of accomplishment. My comments also were longer because I wanted to include some perspective from my previous years of public service...my four years as a member of the City Council and my 11-plus years as Mayor.

I am entering my 12th year as the Chief Executive of the City of Douglasville. At the end of calendar 2011, I will have completed my third four-year term as Mayor.

These years have been very good years. I have enjoyed them, and I have enjoyed serving the public. I have accomplished much more than I had anticipated when I first took office in January 2000.

I am very proud of the record we have achieved during the past 11 years, and I look forward to 2011 being another successful year.

My wife Janice and my entire family have been very patient with me over these past 15 years in public service, with all the political campaigns, with all of the night meetings, and commitments day in and day out. I appreciate their patience and their understanding.

After a significant amount of thought over a rather long period of time, considering some of my personal future goals and ambitions, and after careful deliberation, I have decided I will not be a candidate for Mayor in November 2011.

I believe I have successfully completed virtually all of the goals and promises I made to the public when I first became Mayor.

The wheels of government always turn slower than you anticipate but in review over the last 11 years we have built more road and bridges, parks and recreation facilities, buildings and infrastructure than anytime in our city’s history. We did this without raising taxes, and with fewer government employees than when I took office. And we are leaving the largest cash reserve in Douglasville’s history ($9.5 million).

Thanks to all of you and for your support over these past 15 years.

Douglasville has had a wonderful past, and I believe our community will have a great future. I enjoyed building on that past, and I believe the achievements and accomplishments during my tenure as Mayor of Douglasville have provided a sound foundation for future generations to build upon.

Good night, and may God bless you.

Reflections Springtime Is Coming

by Johnnie Ann Gaskill

I love being outside in spring-like weather, don’t you? The sun is warm; the wind is gentle. The daffodils sway gracefully, their movements choreographed by invisible currents. The crabapple tree is in full bloom, looking (from a distance) like it’s adorned with cotton balls. The skinny branches on the almond tree, which just a few weeks ago looked like match sticks, are hardly visible since their buds have opened, revealing a profusion of beautiful blooms.

As I stroll along, the sight of freshly-cut grass makes me smile.

Even the dog trots happily alongside me, looking as if she’s smiling, too. We stop frequently so that I can photograph the surprises I’m finding everywhere—for example, the thrift’s lovely lavender blooms.

As I walk along enjoying the warmth, I think about the bitter cold we experienced the past winter. Some days were just “too raw” to venture out at all. Freezing temperatures. Bone-chilling, wet winds. Clouds so dark and heavy that mid-day seemed like late afternoon.

As winter transitions to early spring, I look longingly out the windows, waiting eagerly for my time outside. A writer friend adds to that longing by saying, “Go outside to write! Don’t you dare stay inside on a day like today.”

Perhaps my delight in this beautiful season helps me recognize the truth in these words of David L. Weatherford. “We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sorrow.”

Thankfully, there is a cycle to ALL of life, not just in the weather.

When we’re experiencing a “long, dark night of the soul,” we know that light will come into our lives again. And when it does, oh, how we welcome it. When we’re feeling fearful, we know that calm will come—one day. And when it does, oh, how we embrace it.

While thinking about such cycles, I reflect on these words of Abraham Lincoln. “In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all, and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again. Knowing this, truly believing it, will make you less miserable now. I have had enough experience to make this statement.”

It comforts me to know that great persons, even Biblical writers, experienced cycles in their faith, just as you and I do. For example, one of the psalmists wrote about a time when he had become bitter because of all the painful things he had seen. Recognizing his error, he said to God, “I was so foolish and ignorant—I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. Yet I still belong to you; you are holding my right hand. You will keep on guiding me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny” (Psalm 73:21-24, New Living Translation).

Bottom line: No matter what cycle we’re in, God loves us and is with us! And even though we may have been in winter’s chilly grasp for a long time, it won’t last forever. Springtime will come— in fact, it is coming! © 2011 by Johnnie Ann Burgess Gaskill. www.jgaskill.com.

DC Chamber Announces Top Ten Young Professionals of 2010

Leadership Douglas Class of 2011 has teamed up with The Hope Project to take an active role in the community through the greenhouse project. The leadership class chose the greenhouse project as their way to give back, and on April 9 will come together as “bridge builders” to connect the community to a valuable service developed to feed thousands.

“Building bridges is our class theme and it fits perfectly with the greenhouse project goals,” says Leadership Douglas class member Heather Nutter, co-chair of the class service project. The greenhouse project will revitalize Douglas County High School’s vacant greenhouse to grow and donate fresh fruits and vegetables to needy families in the community. Produce will also be sold to the public to help fund the project.

“We’re pleased to put the greenhouse back to use—this time to feed the hungry with organic foods and to use as an educational tool,” says The Hope Project executive director and Leadership Douglas class member Frank Smith.

The Douglas County Master Gardeners will maintain the facility and will partner with local schools to teach students about horticulture through hands-on learning. “We are extremely excited about the greenhouse project and the positive impact it will have on our community. Through Leadership Douglas, we’ve had the opportunity to develop as leaders, and we are proud to use our acquired skills to get involved and give back to our community,” says Nutter.

On April 9 the class will work to clean the greenhouse—removing unnecessary items, cleaning windows and painting the interior of the building. The class will also soil, seed and fertilize planting beds.

The class is raising funds and materials to complete the project. To contribute, visit www.newhopeproject.com, or contact Frank Smith at franksmith843@gmail.com or 770-489-5990. All donations are welcome and are tax-deductible. The greenhouse project partners include the Douglas County Master Gardeners, The Pantry, Leadership Douglas Class of 2011, Project One, local churches, International Baccalaureate students and BETA Club members.
