Daytime sleepiness?

Joe. Java. Your daily grind. The brew. You’re not yourself until you have it. And you have to have it, all day long. Daytime sleepiness could mean you’re not sleeping as well as you should at night—a sign of a sleep disorder like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA affects as many as 18 million Americans. Along with severe daytime sleepiness, signs of OSA include loud snoring, trouble concentrating when awake and others. Untreated, it can lead to high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. The only way to diagnose and treat it is with a sleep study. The fully accredited Tanner Center for Sleep Disorders — with locations in Carrollton and Villa Rica — can help, providing comfortable, hotel-like amenities and a certified staff of sleep technologists and medical directors who are board-certified in sleep medicine.

Get back your days by taking back your nights.

Wake Up! All you need to schedule your sleep study at Tanner is an order form from your doctor. To find a doctor on Tanner’s medical staff, call 770.214.CARE.

to present Juneteenth 2013.

BEHE’s Juneteenth Celebration will take place June 14 and 15. Juneteenth is a significant moment in African-American and American history, and gives all citizens the opportunity to come together and celebrate the freedoms that make this nation great. “Join us as we celebrate this milestone in history. The Juneteenth Celebration offers a variety of fun family activities for all cultures to enjoy, and continues to grow each year,” said Douglas County Commissioner Henry Mitchell, III, Chairman for the Juneteenth board. An exclusive thank you reception for sponsors and invited guests will be held Friday, June 14 at the Hunter Park Community Center. The Juneteenth Celebration will continue Saturday, June 15 with a free festival at O’Neal Plaza and the Old Douglas County Courthouse Museum in downtown Douglasville. The festival includes, live entertainment, vendors, arts and crafts, historical storytelling, bingo, voter registration, and games for children. BEHE is currently seeking sponsors and vendors for the event. “We invite you to become a sponsor and/or purchase a vendor booth, as you support the oldest historical event commemorating the ending of slavery in America,” said BEHE President Frankie Morris. Juneteenth is a production of the Black Education Historical Exhibit (BEHE) and is supported in part by the City of Douglasville and Douglas County Government. Douglas County Commissioner Henry Mitchell, III serves as Chairman of the Juneteenth board and is assisted by Cochairman Samuel Davis, City Councilman.

Photography Tips Understanding Shutter Speed

By Mandie Newsom, owner of Captured, by Mandie Newsom, www.mandienewsom.com, 770.570.9247 This month I’m going to explain shutter speed in two very simple terms: slow and fast. Easy enough? Let’s get started! We use a slow shutter speed for two reasons: 1. We want to capture blur and 2. the setting is very dark and we want to let more light

By Zach Green

into the camera. Remember that when you use a slow shutter speed, anything that moves in the frame will blur. Once you’ve grasped this concept, you can use a slow shutter speed creatively in your photography. A fast shutter speed freezes anything that is moving in the frame. This is ideal when photographing anything moving quickly that you don’t want to be blurry in the photo (kids, pets, action sports shots). So, in a nutshell, shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter stays open when you click the capture button. Shutter speed is set by fractions of a second:

By Kitty Shipp

By Greg Kosowski

1/1000, 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 So if you set your shutter speed at 1/1000 of a second, your shutter will be open for less time than if your shutter speed was set at 1 full second. This month, try putting your camera on shutter priority setting and take two photos of the same thing (a moving subject) using one shutter speed that is slow and one that is fast. Your goal is to capture one image showing blur and one capturing movement. Feel free to email me mandie@mandienewsom.com with any questions and submit photos to me to share how you are doing with your shutter speed practice this month!

der why I don’t have the “good life” they have. So, I ask, as the writer of Psalm 73 did, “Was it for nothing that I kept my heart pure and kept myself from doing wrong? All I get is trouble all day long…” (vv.13-14a). But, thankfully, like that psalmist, I, too, come to my senses and realize this truth: “Yet I still belong to you; you are holding my right hand. You will keep on guiding me…leading me…. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever” (Psalm 73:23-26). And whenever I think I’m a “real mess” and my life/work doesn’t seem to matter, I love to read these words of David: “You [O God] made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!

Local mural artist paints child interview room Douglas County Sheriff, Phil Miller and the Criminal Investigations Division, Child Protection Unit, are proud to show off their new child friendly interview room. Local Douglasville artist Mike Shepard, of Murals by Mike Shepard, completed four days of volunteer work painting the interview room that will be used exclusively for the interviewing of child victims and witnesses of violent crimes. The room is an effort to better facilitate the interviewing of children at the sheriff’s office. A room such as the one completed by Mr. Shepard will provide a more relaxed atmosphere to accommodate child victims or witnesses of violent crimes. The room will aid in relaxing the children, making the interviewing process less scary and friendlier. They would like to thank Mike Shepard for his time, skills and talent. Mike can be reached at 678.778.3659 or muralsby4est@yahoo. com. You can also see more of his work at www.muralsmikeshepard.com.

Thomas Coke Glover Camp to host Confederate Memorial Day Service April 20 Douglasville’s Thomas Coke Glover Camp 943, of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, will be conducting a Confederate Memorial Day ceremony on Saturday, April 20th. The public is cordially invited to attend the 10am program being held on the grounds of the Douglasville City Cemetery located at the intersection of Rose Avenue and Church Street. Sparks Ramey, Past Commander of the Georgia 11th Brigade SCV, will be the keynote speaker. Ms. Joyce Jones, President of the Douglasville UDC, will also be speaking.

ment groups, including artillery provided by Pulaski’s Battery. There will also be a rifle honor guard consisting of soldiers from surrounding camps. The rifle platoon and the artillery battery will be firing a canon and rifle salute in honor of our fallen heroes as a rose is placed on their grave. The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Confederate Ladies will be dressed in period gowns. In recognition of Confederate Memorial Day, members of the Douglasville and Villa Rica S.C.V. camps will be placing a flag on every grave of those soldiers who fought in the Civil War and who are buried in and around Douglas County. For those who fought for the south, a Confederate Battle Flag is placed on the grave.

I Am Part Of Something Bigger Than Myself By ‘Right from the Heart’, www.rfth.org “For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.” - 1 Corinthians 12:14-15 Have you ever heard anyone say, “There’s nothing special I can do; I just don’t have any purpose in life?” We live in a culture today that puts so much emphasis on the wrong thing. After all, if you’re not young or beautiful, what is there for you? I’ve noticed a very interesting thing among teenagers (this often goes for adults, too). Have you noticed, especially when talking about physical features, everyone will tell you what they think is their major physical defect? You look at this gorgeous person, and think, “Wow, what would it be like to look like that?” I promise you, that person will tell you, “I’m not gorgeous, my nose is too long, or my eyes are too small, or my teeth are crooked, or I walk funny, or I’m too short, or I’m too tall.” Our own perspective of ourselves is often very negative. Yet, all of that is totally irrelevant, even though our culture does not view it that way. What does the Bible say about our purpose in life? God has made you for a unique and special reason. Examine your own likes and dislikes: what you are really good at and what you are not good at, what is really interesting and fun to you and what is not. Do this! It’s extremely important! “Why does it matter,” you ask me? It matters because you were designed by God to be you! You have a unique place and reason for being here that no one else has. You may think, “There are a million other people who are just like me.” Not true! Many people may be similar to you, but they are never exactly like you. You are a unique part of the world God has placed you in, and you are needed. No one else is exactly like you. So, without you, something would be missing. Examine just who you are, and you will have taken one gigantic step toward finding your purpose in life.

If your spouse is not protecting you from attacks from your in-laws, address this at home or with a marriage counselor, not in front of the family. Once married, both husband and wife must learn to put their spouse first and separate from their family of origin in many ways. If your spouse is the one involved in conflict with your family, as difficult as it may be, your role is to take up for your husband or wife, not your family. It is your responsibility, not your husband or wife’s, to address conflicts with your family, although this can best be handled together as a couple, with you taking leadership. Be your spouse’s defender and set healthy boundaries with your family of origin to protect your spouse and your new family.

If your spouse is being disrespectful and causing the conflict, however; this needs to be handled within the couple relationship, away from your family of origin. Sometimes though, no matter what you do as a couple, your family may be disrespectful to your spouse. In that case, you may have to overcome these issues by making your own family traditions and limiting the amount of contact with your extended family.

concerned with our finances.

There are more than 2000 verses in the Bible that discuss money. These verses include financial topics such as greed, debt, giving, budgeting, get-rich-quick schemes, investing, taxes, tithing, co-signing, work-

Many people probably wonder why God is so concerned with money. Peter Anderson in an article on www.biblemoneymatters.com gave this great explanation: “I think in part because our financial lives can quickly consume us, our money and wealth becoming an idol that can overtake our lives. In other words, if we’re not careful about how we view money it can take God’s place in our lives and lead to ruin.” This makes sense when you think about it. Whether we are worrying about acquiring more wealth or just having enough money to pay the bills each month, finances can sneak in and become our central focus. God desires to be at the center of our lives and He doesn’t want to be replaced by anyone or anything.

Americans are not doing very well in the financial arena. Here are a few sobering statistics: • Over 40% of families spend more annually than they earn • On average, each household with a credit card has more than $15,000 in credit card debt • 25% have more credit card debt than they have in savings • 1 out of 100 households will file for bankruptcy this year

So with all of the input the Bible gives on finances, how are Christians doing? John W. Kennedy in an article on www.christianitytoday.com observed: “Remarkably, American consumers are simultaneously earning record income while accumulating record debt. And there is little difference between the amounts that Christians and non-Christians earn, spend, save, charge or donate to charities.” Our spiritual journeys take our entire lives and we should never stop growing or improving. If there is no difference between Christians and non-Christians, then there’s probably a financial area on which each one of us can improve.

Maybe you want to learn more about what God has to say about money. Two websites that offer good compilations of verses about money are www.biblemoneymatters.com and www.christianpf.com (pf stands for personal finances). Both of these sites divide verses into categories such as budgeting, debt or savings; this makes it pretty easy to see what the Bible has to say about a specific financial topic.

If you’re looking for some financial help, check out Dave Ramsey or Crown Financial Ministries. Both of these ministries have financial books, articles, audio, software, classes and more.

Increasing your giving may interest you. If so, check with your church and other local ministries. Tithing is important, but giving of your time, money, talents and possessions is important too. Find a cause you are passionate about and support it. Giving to others is one of the best ways to stop money from being the center of our focus and put God back in His rightful place in our lives.

As parents, we are always teaching our kids by our example, so we all need to strive to manage our finances in a God-honoring way. Next month, we’ll focus on teaching our kids about money.

Your Health Spinal Hygiene Shown To Improve Quality Of Life By Dr. Awais Butt, Planet Chiropractic, 2173 Fairburn Road, 770.783.1799, myplanetchiro.com, mychiro@myplanetchiro.com The Chiropractic profession has long stressed the importance of a healthy spine for overall health and wellness. Now a study published in the

August 16, 2004 issue of the scientific periodical, The Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research, (JVSR) has shown that spinal hygiene actually does improve the measurement of quality of life. According to the published study, “Spinal hygiene is defined as patientactive principles and/or practices conducive to producing a healthy spinal column and nervous system and preventing vertebral subluxations. This includes: improving posture, promoting proper exercise, making healthy nutritional choices, guidance in stress reduction, ergonomics, emphasis upon the patient’s self-responsibility and appropriate professional spinal evaluation and care.” In the study a group of volunteer chiropractic students took a spinal hygiene class. These students were then compared to a group who did not take such a class. The results were then measured using two predetermined scientific formats for measuring quality of life known as the “Rand SF-36 Health Survey and the Global Well-Being Scale”. The results showed that the students who participated in the spinal hygiene class showed significant improvement in a wide area of quality of life parameters. This was noted both in comparison against their scores before they took the spinal hygiene class as well as in comparison with the group that did not take the class. The researchers summed up their study by concluding, “The practice of spinal hygiene procedures shows great promise in the vital area of improvement of quality of life. In a society where obesity and sedentary living are pandemic and spinal health is deteriorating, it is hoped that as health care practitioners these students will share and model positive spinal and neurological health behaviors to their patients and communities.”

Are Hormones the Key to Good Health? “People accept that our hormones slowly diminish as we age, but it has taken the mainstream medical community a very long time to accept that our hormonal imbalances cause age-related health problems,” says Dr. Hotze, founder of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, (www.hotzehwc.com), and author of “Hormones, Health and Happiness.” But not all hormone replacement therapies are equal – or good for you, says Dr. Hotze. Here are his answers to some frequently asked questions. “Is hormone replacement therapy dangerous?” We hear plenty in the media about how the therapy is linked to breast and prostate cancer, but what is not mentioned is the distinction between synthetic and bioidentical hormones. The latter have the same molecular structure as the hormones that are found naturally in the body, which means bioidentical hormone treatments cannot hurt patients. Counterfeit hormones – those that do not perfectly match the molecular structure of hormones in one’s body – can be dangerous.

Personal Trainer Unhealthy Snacking By Robin Stricklin, Certified Personal Trainer, Gold’s Gym West Georgia, 770.949.1116 One of the biggest contributing factors to weight gain and obesity is frequent, unhealthy snacking. It’s easy to justify grabbing something to eat in between meals or late at night when your stomach won’t stop growling; not being hungry can result in better

Mixed Nuts: Nuts are not only an excellent source of protein, but they provide your body with the healthy fats it needs to function properly. Health benefits vary between types of nuts, but they include promoting heart health, fighting disease and reducing inflammation. Walnuts, almonds, pistachios, peanuts and pecans are all good choices when you’re picking out the healthiest snacks at the grocery store. Be sure to get the unsalted varieties to keep an eye on your sodium intake.

sleep, higher productivity and better focus. But it’s even easier to cross the line from smart, healthy snacking to overeating. Have you ever opened a chip bag in front of the TV, only to notice that it’s halfway gone twenty minutes into the show? Listed below are some healthy snacking options: Fruit and Yogurt: Nothing says “healthy” quite like a fresh piece of fruit, so reach for an apple or some grapes the next time you just can’t wait until lunchtime. Bananas, apples and oranges all have high amounts of Vitamin C that can give your energy a boost. For some extra protein and fiber, mix fruit pieces with fat-free yogurt. It’s the perfect snack to demonstrate that you can feel full for a long time even if you’re just putting healthy foods into your body. Popcorn: Popcorn has much less salt and fat than the other options, and since it’s a whole grain, it does great things for your heart, too. Look for the reduced-fat and lower salt varieties rather than the butter-soaked kinds, and you’ll have a fiber-rich, low-calorie snack that won’t make you feel guilty about eating the whole bag. Pitas and Hummus: Eating whole grain pitas and hummus will make you feel like you’re dining out on a Greek island instead of consuming a healthy snack. Whole grain pitas give you tons of nutrients and fiber, while the chickpeas in the hummus provide you with a good source of protein. This is also one of the least boring snacks you can make, since there are so many delicious hummus flavors. “I’ve had many tests and tried many treatments for my problems. If they were hormone-related, wouldn’t have that been discovered before now?” Physicians can’t and shouldn’t rely solely on lab tests for diagnoses and pharmaceutical drugs for treatment. A very thorough patient history and evaluation of symptoms, in addition to standard diagnostic tests, can reveal an underlying hormonal problem. “My blood test indicated nothing irregular, but I suffer symptoms including fatigue, anxiety and weight gain; what’s going on?” Blood tests can lie – patients do not. If you have symptoms, but your physician tells you your blood work came back “normal,” specifically regarding your thyroid, you should realize that 95 percent of people tested fall within a range considered normal. However, that doesn’t mean it is normal for you! Are women more prone to hypochondria? My physician cannot link my symptoms to a cause … No, it’s not “all in your head.” Women tend to be more attentive to their body for good reason. The dramatic physical changes can occur at multiple points.

Nail Care Pointers

Nails Do Not Have to Be Long to Be Beautiful Every woman would like her nails to be beautiful. Unfortunately, most nail salons make nails beautiful by hiding them.

Many women have noticed that their natural nails have become extremely weakened from drill damage, improper removal, and uninterrupted wear of artificial nails for

Every part of the body needs frequent maintenance. Hair gets a lot of attention because it is the most prominent feature. Teeth need brushing to stay healthy. Likewise, the hands, nails, and cuticles should receive similar attention in order to prevent future problems such as nail fungus, hangnails, dry cuticles or splitting nails. Unfortunately, the hands are used the most but cared for the least. Most people have never been properly taught how to care for their

hands and nails. Licensed Nail Techs in quality nail salons not only know how to solve nail problems; they will work with a client to create personalized maintenance routines that can prevent future nail problems. A professional licensed Nail Technician will want to help the natural nails get betterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not just cover up damage. A total hand and nail care program is geared toward solving nail problems and creating effective daily homecare maintenance routines using products specifically designed for treating damaged nails. A licensed Nail Technician that specializes in rehabilitating nails will focus primarily on the health of the natural nails. Their nail service will focus on treatment of damage caused by long-term wear of artificial nails, nail biting and nail fungus. They will also be aware of medical problems such as cancer, diabetes and fibromyalgia that can cause conditions such as chronic dry cuticles, weak or thin nails, or splitting and peeling nails. Their service will be in the best interest of each individual client. The goal is to help every client achieve 10 healthy beautiful nails the natural way. A nail recovery program consists of three very important steps hydration, maintenance, and protection. Quality herbal lotions and oils moisturize the skin and cuticles. Professional manicures provide the necessary maintenance. Nail strengtheners and other treatments provide the protection that will enable the nails to heal, strengthen, and grow. A good program introduces these products in a home care kit and teaches the client how to use them in order to maintain healthy strong nails between manicure appointments. Clients are taught how to do manicures and maintenance themselves. For many people, a manicure is a treat reserved for a special event. To others, a manicure means having a standing weekly or bi-weekly appointment. Both groups need to maintain healthy nails. Taking care of your nails and cuticles should be a daily care regimen like brushing your teeth or taking care of your hair. Healthy, well-groomed, short natural nails are often considered more beautiful than long unnatural looking plastic talons. Nails need to be healthy, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be long to be beautiful.

Wellness Tips De-stressing the Body, Mind and Spirit with Massage Therapy By Angela Sanders, The GreenTree Day Spa and Skincare Clinic 6397 Douglas Boulevard, 770.947.8733, www.thegreentree.net Do you believe that the way a person thinks can affect their physical body?

There are many types of massage therapy that you can utilize to help you relieve stress. A massage therapist will use massage techniques customized to each client’s personal needs and desired level of comfort. Let’s face it we are society of hurry up, get it done, no time to relax…so next time you are feeling stressed or worn out do yourself a favor and make time to unwind and relax with a massage……it will do your body good!

tween the two. In fact, during times of extreme or chronic mental stress is when we tend to ignore what our bodies are trying to tell us. Holistic practitioners, medical scientists, traditional physicians and mental health professionals all agree that in order to de-stress the mind we need to de-stress our body as well. What are the sources of your mental stress? We live in a time of phenomenal health and science advances with knowledge at our finger tips. We also live in a beautiful part of a free country. While these are all wonderful things, it is also a time of high stress. Our reactions to what we view as stressful can be controlled by our mind and attitude. The mind and body can control how relaxed we are. In a peaceful state of mind, emotional strains can be tolerated. One of the most effective ways to release that stress and achieve a peaceful state of mind is massage therapy. Massage therapy focuses on both your body and its muscles as well as giving you 45 minutes or more of quiet or just time to “unplug.”

Bacon – The Next Health Craze? Bacon has always been considered by many to be the ultimate food indulgence, but according to Dr. John Salerno, a protégé of “Atkins Diet” creator Dr. Robert Atkins, bacon is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. Dr. Salerno says there are other indulgent-yethealthy foods out there, including: • Butter: Butter contains the highest amount of butyric acid found in a natural food source. Butyric acid is recognized for its roles in cellular health, antioxidant protection and metabolic properties; it also increases energy and may prevent cancer. Butter derived from natural, grass-fed animals is recommended. • Barbecue: Add sauces and condiments and this American favorite will have more starch and sugar than Salerno recommends. But the main ingredient – meat – speaks to the heart of a low-carb, highprotein diet. Grass-fed hamburger meat and organic, hormone-free chicken provides the nutrients your body needs. Stay away from the buns, sugary condiments, sauces and marinades. • Omelets: Eggs contain lots of cholesterol and saturated fats, which have been demonized throughout the latter half of the 20th century. Fortunately, we know there is such a thing as good cholesterol and fat. Packed with vitamins, minerals and one of the best-absorbed proteins we can feed our body, any negatives associated with eggs are far outweighed by the benefits.

When you see the beautiful blooms and reap the reward of the berries, your cabin fever should be cured.

Finding Inspiration

By Kate Wright, who owns Bloom’n Gardens Landscape. She is a degreed Botanist, Certified Arborist, and Certified Pesticide Applicator, & Georgia Certified Landscape Professional, www.bloomngardens.com • 404.314.1474 Ever get that blah feeling in the winter when it’s too cold to go outside day in and day out? I know I do. Where I come from, it is extremely common and is known as cabin fever. No, it’s not something contagious, just a state of mind we get ourselves in. Cabin fever occurs when people accustomed to spending a lot of time outdoors are forced inside by cold weather conditions. Relief does not come until we are once again able to enjoy our time outside. I believe that we have April in order to rejuvenate the spirit as we emerge from our hibernated state and shake off our winter depression. In the South, we are lucky that our growing season begins fairly early. As our neighbors

to the north only dream of fragrant flowers and hours spent outdoors, we can actually experience it rather comfortably. Nothing gets me outside more than the site of our spring flowering trees. There are several flowering trees that signal for us that spring is just around the corner. Some emerge a little early and a quick frost will nip them back.

Deciduous

magnolias

like “Jane” and “Stella” suffer this fate year after year, but we still prize them when we first see them bloom. Another spring flowering tree that has the ability to perk us right up is the Flowering Cherry tree. There are several varieties to choose from, all with wonderful flowering displays. One of my favorite spring flowering trees is the Serviceberry (Amelanchier spp.) This not so well known tree is an American native that grows 15-25 feet in height, a perfect size for our smaller lots. It has a glorious white, billowy display of flowers in early spring, but also is quite striking in fall when its leaves turn bright red. It is always a plus when we can get more than one season of interest out of a plant, don’t you think? As a member of the Rose family, it shares quite a few attributes with other members of the family, it’s kin to wonderful fruiting trees like cherries, crab apples, plums and peaches. Namely, in late spring, you can enjoy the fruit of the tree or leave it for our feathered friends. Sounds like a perfect landscape tree to me. As an American native, serviceberry grows all over the United States from Canada to Texas, California, to right here in Georgia. It adapts well to wet sites or to light shade on the edge of a wooded

Tips for an Organized Kitchen 1. Plan for daily maintenance. We all know organization is not a “once and done” thing, it requires daily maintenance. Having a daily routine will keep your kitchen in good shape, without you having to spend hours at a time working on it. While cleaning the dinner dishes, set aside time to do one extra project. For instance, on Wednesdays you could clean the stove, and on Sundays you could check the fridge for leftovers that should be thrown out. Spend 15 minutes each night putting away everything that has been used since supper and prepare the kitchen for the next day. Get the coffee or tea pot ready and lay out any items that will be needed for breakfast. This is a must if you want your day to start smooth and stress free. 2. Maximize your dishwasher. These days almost everything is dishwasher safe, so take advantage of this to clean things that are time consuming to hand clean. Some examples of things that can be washed in the dishwasher are: the nonelectric parts of an electric can opener, drip pans, burner covers, small refrigerator shelves and plastic drawer organizers - just make sure to load plastic items onto the top rack. Some experts believe that dishwashers use less water than hand washing, so there is the potential to conserve water at the same time. Just a reminder - only run the dishwasher when fully loaded and check owners manuals if you are concerned about something being dishwasher safe. 3. Start at the top and work down. When you’re doing a deep cleaning of your kitchen, it makes sense to take it from the top. Start by dusting cabinet tops, then wash cabinet doors (wiping out cabinet in-

Decorating Tips The Art of Picture Hanging By Karen Hartley, Karen Hartley Interiors, 770.459.9096, www.karenhartleyinteriors.com The concept of hanging art in groupings and “collages” is becoming part of today’s trend. This home was full of walls of fine art! Every room had interesting artwork and much was hung in groupings. The stairwells were full of unusual displays. Rarely was one piece hanging alone! By the way, I thought this showhouse was one of the best in years! It was beautifully decorated and felt very livable. Even if your pocketbook won’t allow for fine art, you can use this technique to expand artistic interest in your own home. The type of artwork you choose will depend on your personal preferences and your budget. You could use small prints, needlework, architectural pieces, metal, and/or original artwork. Of course, the more valuable

the piece, the more important its place should be. Special pieces should be focused on in some way. The style and colors in the artwork will have the best effect if they are combined with furnishings that compliment and coordinate with the chosen pieces. Of course, that eclectic mix of styles can be interesting too but it takes a little more skill to get it right. Hanging collections can be challenging! First you need to plan it out. As with so many things, scale plays a big part. A large, dramatic picture often looks best when displayed independently. It serves as a focal point in a room because the eye is drawn directly to it. Smaller pictures become more effective when grouped together rather than being scattered around the room. Whether you are hanging a single piece or a grouping, the pieces should occupy approximately 75% of the wall space. This rule of thumb will help you judge whether a piece is the right size for a given space. If it isn’t, then consider adding something else with it. For example, add candle scones on each side or add other art pieces with it. Always remember to hang your pictures at the height they will best be viewed. Typically, we hang art so that the center of the picture is at eye level. (Ok, we are all different heights so think about putting the center of the picture 60” off the floor.) Allow 4-8”of space between a furniture piece and the bottom of the frame. If you are hanging art over a table or flat surface, you may want to consider the items or accessories on the table and hang the art above those. Also, a lamp on the table will typically sit to one side of the art and not block the picture. You may want to plan the lamp as part of the overall composition. Wall collections are not limited to artwork. You can combine florals, small shelves or brackets with something interesting to rest on it, architectural items, and more! Use your own imagination.

Spring Cleaning Guide

If you are hanging a group of pictures, the easiest way to get the placement correct (without putting extra holes in the wall) is to use a large sheet of paper to plan the layout. I like to use that brown package paper. Cut the paper the size of the space. If the space is taller than the paper is wide, tape sheets together. Lay the paper on the floor and place the pictures on the paper. Decide the best arrangement. Remember to achieve balance in the composition. Establish a line either at the top or in the center and use it as a guide on placing your pictures. Once you have an arrangement you like, trace around each frame on piece on the paper with a pencil. You can then turn the artwork over and mark where the hooks will need to go. If you have a number of pieces, you may want to number them on the back and on the paper so you will get each piece in the right place. Now, tape the paper on the wall, making sure to get it straight, and make a final evaluation of your placement. If everything looks good, then place the hooks in the wall where you marked them on the paper. Carefully remove the paper, leaving the hooks in place on the wall, and hang your pictures.

Housewares for Less! opens in Douglasville Two years ago Dewey and his wife Teresa became diehard fans of Food Network. From the show Chopped to Diners, Drive-In and Dives, they enjoyed watched the network. They even started family cooking Chopped competitions with the kids.

Pet Set Pet Care Tip What to Look for in Dry Pet Food By Dixie Popham - Owner, Pet Set Grooming, 3313 Highway 5 Across from Publix, 770.949.0579 Cats and dogs are carnivores – they thrive on a diet based on meat. They have no evolved need for

The source and quality of protein in the formula is crucially important for your pet’s health. Look for whole food sources at the very top of the ingredient list like ‘beef,’ ‘turkey,’ ‘lamb’ or ‘chicken’ -- oneword descriptions. Meat and fat ingredients should be identified by species (turkey, lamb, beef, fish, etc.). Avoid any formula that uses unidentified sources, described non-specifically as ‘meat,’ ‘animal’ or ‘poultry.’

tively high-quality protein source by processed pet food standards. Ingredients three and four should be vegetables (avoid corn, wheat or beet pulp) and unless the formula is grain-free (which I recommend), a whole grain source like brown rice. Organic grains are preferable where grains are included, but they are no substitute for meat content. Avoid formulas with ‘grain fragments’ -- these are nonnutritive fillers. Grain-free formulas will frequently use potatoes as the starch, which holds the food together during processing. Whole fruits as a portion of ingredients three and four are fine -- especially if they replace grains. Leave all pet food containing corn or soy in any form on the shelf. Corn is a cheap filler ingredient, non-nutritious for pets, and a known allergenic. Soy is estrogenic and wreaks havoc on your pet’s endocrine system.

ANY restaurant anywhere and get a healthy meal if you make good

For a lot of people, nutrition is an afterthought. It is popping a multivitamin when they remember, ordering a diet soda at the fast food restaurant and sometimes ordering a salad instead of an entrée. For the athlete, good nutrition is the difference between being a professional athlete and a wannabe athlete. It is the difference between getting injured and not. Nutrition plays a very important role for all athletes, whether you are a weekend golfer or are on the PGA tour. Just as your luxury car needs premium gas and regular maintenance, your body also needs premium energy sources. Athletes should look at diets that are rich in whole foods. It will make a dramatic difference to your game by giving your body the fuel it needs in a format that is easy for your body to digest. It will also ensure

decisions. Ideally, you would eat a variety of food made up mostly of vegetables, fruit, lean meats and whole grains. So by now you are wondering what you could have at your favorite restaurant. Is the portion huge? Most restaurants serve very large portions because they don’t want you to leave hungry. They also have doggy bags so taking at least half of it home is not an issue. Start by looking at what you normally order. Are there fries? Could you have them substitute a garden salad? Is it fried or breaded? Would you like it grilled just as much? Wouldn’t water be a better choice? For sweet tea lovers, this is a very bad habit with cups of sugar you are consuming daily – yes, CUPS of sugar.

Daniel Willis Memorial Golf Tournament to be held May 10 Married to his high school sweetheart for 12 years and father of two beautiful children, Daniel Willis was known for being a family man. He poured his time and energy into being a provider, leader, model husband, and father. On February 15, at 33 years old, Daniel unexpectedly passed away from a massive stroke while coaching his son’s baseball game. The emotional void from not having a husband or father is already unbearable for this sweet family, but filling the financial role of the provider is a heavy burden for his wife, Candice, to carry alone. 100% of the profits will go to support Daniel’s wife and their children. The event will be held Friday, May 10th at the Frog Golf Club in memory of Daniel and to help support the Willis family. The cost is $500 per team, $125 per single. Registration begins at 8:30am. You will enjoy 18 holes of golf, lunch, and an awards banquet and auction. To register, call Chad at 770.328.9589 or e-mail dwillisgolf@gmail. com. You may also visit www.dwillisgolf.com. You may also donate to the Daniel Willis Memorial Fund at Douglas County Bank.

straighter leg kick and arms pulling down to their sides bellow their pockets. There is a lot more to swimming than making it 15 feet in the water. Some concerns to be aware of are: • Do not leave anyone around water alone. • Do not leave a child under 12 in charge of another child. • Know who is watching your child if water- a pool - is present. • Make sure that the person watching your child is watching - not reading a book, sunbathing, etc. • Make sure the kids know and follow the rules: • Don’t dive in shallow water. Water should be at least two feet deeper than a person is tall to dive. • No horse play - pushing others under, jumping on top of them, pushing people in. • One at time diving • Don’t try to catch a child or swim with a young one holding on to you in deep water. It is hard - I pull out several each summer that try this. Don’t let a teen try it either. • Don’t chew gum, or eat while swimming and keep food and drinks away from the water. • Don’t drink alcohol and swim. • Do not get in the habit of holding your breath and swimming blow out slowly. • Put a toddler in rubber pants if an accident may occur. If it does happen - tell the pool person so they can clear the pool and add chemicals. • If the pool is too crowded - leave and go back later. • If your child gets tired or cannot swim or you are preoccupied put him in a life jacket. • If swimming in the lake, wear a bright color that can be seen by boaters who may not be watching. Swim lessons by a competent instructor for a child that is ready to learn is the best protection. Kids under four do not retain unless you practice every week. Any person may need a refresher course before summer starts if they do not swim during the winter.

Psychologist Corner Processing Speed Impairment

By Rebecca S. Blakeman, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist - Adolescent Child Specialty Services, 3138 Golf Ridge Blvd., Douglasville, 404.310.1161, rblakemanphd@yahoo.com I have written about learning disabilities related to specific academic skills such as reading, math and writing. This month I would like to share information about a processing impairment that often occurs in association with specific learning disabilities and ADHD, but that can also occur by itself. For our purposes, ‘processing’ refers to how an individual perceives, takes in, analyzes, uses, and expresses information. Information can be processed in numerous ways, including via visual (seeing) or auditory (hearing) means. An impairment in processing speed means exactly what it sounds like—it takes longer for that individual to perceive, analyze, or ‘take in’ information, and it takes longer for that individual to ‘use’ that information to produce an answer or output. This is noted even on tasks an individual knows how to do. Of course, processing speed impairments can affect all subjects, including arithmetic, reading, and writing. Processing speed impairments can cause significant problems in the school setting, as well as in other daily activities. One potential problem with processing speed impairments is that the student may appear ‘lazy;’ after all, he has shown that he knows how to do the work, yet he does not get his work done in class. These children often spend an excessive amount of time each day trying to complete their homework. Another potential problem with processing speed impairments is that others may view the student as not very bright; however, processing speed is separate from intelligence, and an individual can be quite smart but still be very slow at processing information. In order to determine that a student has a processing speed impairment, it is necessary to conduct tests related specifically to processing speed. There are a variety of tests for processing speed, with each requiring the individual to perform a rather simple task under time constraints. If a processing speed impairments is identified, it is important that accommodations be made so that the student is not penalized for this neurological condition that is not under their personal control (i.e., it is not a matter of effort or motivation). Under no circumstances should a student be punished for not being able to complete work in a timely manner. Additional time should be allowed on assignments and tests. “Busy work,” including copying work from the board, should be minimized or omitted completely. Assignments should be abbreviated so that they are long enough to show mastery, but short enough to not cause undue burden on the student. Teachers should set a time frame for homework, such that only work completed within that time frame contributes to the grade. Finally, it is extremely important for parents and teachers to remain patient with the student, as stress will only further impede their ability to work efficiently.

School Attendance - It is the Law

Georgia education law requires that all children, ages six through 16, attend school regularly. Making sure that students are at school each day is the parent’s responsibility. However, the importance of school attendance goes beyond meeting the letter of the law. In or-

Learning should be “job one.” There may be occasional sick days, but young, healthy children rarely need to miss more than a few days each year. 2. Help your child get organized.

Character Corner - Integrity By Stan Copeland, Community Character Coalition In an effort to promote positive character in our community, the Community Character Coalition of Douglas County suggests a word each month to help us all consider the importance of being a person of character. The word for April is “Integrity”.

WGTC Police Officers Receive Taser Certification Four West Georgia Technical College Police officers completed Taser certification. The certification will allow the West Georgia Technical College Police officers to instruct others to use and handle the X26 and X2 Taser devices.

their quality or completeness. As God’s creation, we are all quality made, but does our integrity do justice to our Creator? Integrity is the cornerstone of a person’s character and all other traits are measured against it. Fairness, honesty, trustworthiness, generosity, etc… are all based on one’s integrity. Who do you know that you would consider as having the most integrity? What sets them apart from others? When I think of people with true integrity, they are more than simply trustworthy; they are people who are incorruptible. Their values govern every aspect of their lives. I am blessed every day to associate with people

The certification was led by Taser International Master Instructor, Jessica Daley. Taser International is the leading Conducted Electrical Weapons producer in the industry. Taser Conducted Electrical Weapons have saved more than 100,000 lives from potential death or serious injury. “The purpose of this certification is to protect lives,” said Daley. “That is what our product is designed to do.” The Taser certification is just one of the many certifications held by

Check Your Eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit Courtesy of T. Dennis Connally Consultant, P.C.,

Certified Public Accountant, 8483 Campbellton Street, 770.920.2890, tdconnally.com

According to the IRS the Earned Income Tax Credit has made the lives of working people a little easier since 1975. EITC can be a boost for workers who earned $50,270 or less in 2012. Yet the IRS estimates

you qualify and to estimate the amount of your EITC. With IRS Free File, you can claim EITC by e-filing your tax return for free. It’s available exclusively at IRS.gov/freefile. Free help preparing your return to claim your EITC is also available at one of thousands of Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites around the country. To locate a VITA site go to IRS.gov. For more information about the EITC, see IRS Publication 596, Earned Income Credit.

that one out of five eligible tax-payers fails to claim their EITC each year. Here are the top five things the IRS wants you to know about this credit. EITC is valuable. The EITC not only reduces the federal tax you owe, but could result in a refund. You base the amount of EITC on your earned income and the number of qualifying children in your household. The average credit was around $2,200 last year. If you qualify, the credit could be worth up to $5,891. Review your eligibility. If your financial, marital or parental situations change from year to year, you should review the EITC eligibility rules. Just because you didn’t qualify last year doesn’t mean you won’t this year. File your return. If you are eligible for the EITC, you must file a federal income tax return to claim the credit – even if you are not otherwise required to file. Remember to include Schedule EIC, Earned Income Credit, when you file your Form 1040. If you file Form 1040A, use the EIC worksheet and keep it for your records. If you use IRS e-file to prepare and file your tax return, the software will guide you and not let you forget this important step. E-file does the work and figures your EITC for you! Know the qualifications. You should understand the qualifications for EITC before claiming it, including: • You do not qualify for EITC if your tax filing status is Married Filing Separately. • You must have a valid Social Security number for yourself, your spouse – if filing a joint tax return – and any qualifying child listed on Schedule EIC. • You must have earned income. You have earned income if you are paid wages, you are self-employed, you have income from farming or you receive disability income. • Married couples and single people without children may qualify. If you do not have qualifying children, you must also meet age and residency requirements as well as dependency rules. • Special rules apply to members of the U.S. Armed Forces in combat zones. Members of the military can elect to include their nontaxable combat pay as earned income for the purpose of computing the EITC. Even if you make this choice, your combat pay will remain nontaxable. Use the EITC Assistant. It’s easy to determine if you qualify. The EITC

Don’t Believe These Sleep Myths? By Bonnie Boles, MD, Tanner Lung and Sleep Specialists. Dr. Boles is board-certified in sleep medicine, pulmonary medicine and critical care medicine with Tanner Lung and Sleep Specialists, a part of Tanner Medical Group. A good night’s rest doesn’t just prepare you to take on a new day: it also impacts your health. Findings of a study published in the journal Sleep suggest young people with type 1 diabetes have higher blood glucose levels when they spend less time in deep slumber. Other research shows sleep affects blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes and those at risk for diabetes. Still, misconceptions abound about the link between sleep and diabetes. Let’s try to dispel some of them. Myth: I can get by just fine on five hours. Fact: Most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep per night. Brain chemicals, such as cortisol, spike when you’re low on rest. This stress hormone makes it harder for your body to use insulin to control your blood glucose. Myth: The more I sleep, the better. Fact: It’s true that too little sleep harms diabetes control, but getting more than nine hours has been shown to be hazardous to adults’ overall health. Frequent napping also may increase blood glucose levels. Myth: So what if I snore? It’s no big deal. Fact: Sleep apnea—a condition in which you stop breathing at times during the night—affects many people with diabetes, especially men. The condition puts you at risk for heart disease, heart attack and stroke. Talk with your doctor if you or a loved one snores loudly, a major warning sign. Myth: I can catch up on sleep over the weekend. Fact: You might feel more rested if you snooze till noon on Saturday, but you won’t erase the effects of poor sleep during the week. Rather, you’ll throw off your body’s clock. The best way to get enough sleep is to set a schedule that you stick to every day—including weekends.

Coping with Time-Crunched Physicians It’s not your imagination – you’re getting less time with your doctor. Primary care physicians are in short supply in the United States, which means increased pressures and heavier workloads for those in practice, says Dr. Paul Griner, (www.drpaulgriner.com), author of “The Power of Patient Stories: Learning Moments in Medicine.” “Many physicians say their favorite part of being a doctor is the relationships they form with patients, but those are harder to cultivate now because physicians are so squeezed for time,” Griner says. By preparing for your visit, you can ensure you make the best use of your time together, he says. He offers the following suggestions: • Prepare your thoughts ahead of time so that you can be as precise and accurate as possible. What are the symptoms? When did they begin? What were you doing at the time? How are the symptoms affected by activity or rest? What makes them worse? Have you been able to do anything to relieve the symptoms? How have they affect-

A New Facet in Back Pain Relief By Dr. Lin, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in outpatient, minimally-invasive spinal procedures with Carrollton Orthopaedic Clinic. 770.834.0873, www.TannerOrtho.org. Here’s a painful fact: eight out of 10 Americans eventually will suffer some type of back pain. In 15 to 40 percent of people who suffer from chronic low-back pain, that pain may radiate from the facet joints. These joints are located on the back of each back bone, or vertebra, and connect the vertebrae to each other to help keep the spine aligned. Pain in the facet joints can result from arthritis, disc problems, infections, cysts and trauma. Whiplash after a car accident also can trigger facet-joint pain in the neck. If medication and exercise don’t help your pain, other nonsurgical treatments are available. But first, a physician will try to determine the source of the pain. As part of the diagnosis, you’ll need to answer a lot of questions, including where and when it hurts, and what makes it worse or relieves it. Scans, such as a CT scan or an MRI, also may be used to look for other sources of back pain. There are two common treatments for facet pain: • Facet-joint injections. To help relieve pain and reduce inflammation, a doctor may inject a small amount of a local anesthetic or a steroid into the affected joint or joints. Facet-joint injections often are used to confirm that a facet joint is indeed causing otherwise unexplained back pain. If a facet injection relieves your symptoms, your doctor may suggest an ongoing treatment plan. • Radiofrequency ablation. Another treatment available is radiofrequency ablation. This minimally invasive procedure uses electrified needles to disable the nerves that produce facet-joint pain. Radiofrequency ablation does not affect your ability to move your back or neck. In six months to a year, the nerves may grow back and your pain may reappear. Testing is necessary to diagnose the source of back pain, which can be caused by a number of issues. It’s best to discuss pain and treatment options with a physician who specializes in neck and spine care to get the most out of treatment. ed your daily activities? Don’t withhold any information that might be relevant to your symptoms. • Be on time or early. Up to 15 percent of patients are late for their doctor’s appointment, which adds to the time crunch. Arrive early so you’re ready when the physician, or the physician’s team, is ready. While the doctor is the senior person on the team, he or she also relies on advanced practice nurses and physician’s assistants. Give them time to obtain your medical history or perform preliminary tests. • Research your health concerns ahead of time and use the information to help focus your questions. Use reliable sources for research, including www.mayoclinic.com or www.uptodate.com; information from the well-established and respected organizations such as the National Cancer Society; and written materials such as the Harvard Health Letter. • Avoid unnecessary office visits. Some things can be done by e-mail, Skype (or other video hookups), or new technology such as iPhone recording and transmission of your EKG.

Wellstar Health System Becomes a Member of the Joint Replacement Registry WellStar Health System recently became a charter member of the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), an independent, notfor-profit database designed to store comprehensive data about joint replacement procedures. Last year, orthopaedic surgeons at WellStar performed more than 2,000 joint surgeries. The AJRR monitors the performance of an artificial joint in a database containing information about the patient, the surgeon who performed the procedure and the hospital where the procedure took

place. The data collected helps doctors more quickly identify joints that are performing poorly, and helps them match patients, procedures and devices to ensure that every patient has the best possible outcome. “Joining the AJRR signals WellStar’s commitment to improving surgical outcomes for our patients who undergo joint replacement surgery, said Dr. Douglas Lundy, co-chair, WellStar Musculoskeletal Network. “Participation in AJRR will help us monitor the performance of implants, improve our techniques and reduce the number of revisions.” By offering a single source of data, surgeons who use the registry can easily access data from other AJRR members and use that information to make more informed recommendations to their patients, ultimately improving patient care. More than a million hip and knee replacements are performed each year in the U.S., a number that is expected to increase as more men and women remain active as they get older. The majority of replacement surgeries are successful, offering patients years of troublefree use and helping patients resume their regular activities of daily living; however, about 8% of patients nationally experience problems following surgery that require the artificial joint to be revised. Dr. Mark Diehl, co-chair, WellStar Musculoskeletal Network, added, “WellStar has been committed to providing joint replacement patients with a great experience, and now WellStar has taken an added step toward improving clinical outcomes by joining AJRR.

Take the time to check contractors out carefully; rushing to find a cooling contractor can burn a hole in your wallet instead of keeping you cool.

3rd Annual G.R.A.C.E. Conference

Keeping Your Vision in Sight

By Harold & Jeanne Curtis, co-directors of Ministries For Christ, Inc. www.MinistriesForChrist.org

Sometimes we let circumstances block out our view in life. You could be standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon and see none of it, if your hands are covering your eyes. A small obstruction can block out a spectacular view. Whether we are talking about a clear view of the world around us, or a vision that God has given us, immediate difficulties can obstruct our long-range vision. Good people lose sight of their vision for many reasons. Family strife, financial crisis, health problems – there is no end to the list of immediate difficulties that can obscure a long-term vision. A deep trust relationship with Jesus Christ provides tools to enable us to remove the obstructions blocking our vision. Jesus Christ is a continual source of spiritual renewal and clear vision. I saw a sign posted in a construction area where remodeling was taking place. The sign said, “Excuse us while we remove yesterday to make room for tomorrow.” People who believe in Jesus allow Him to remodel them – to transform their lives through repentance and forgiveness. Let God remodel your heart. Let God remove your yesterday in order to make room for your tomorrow. The grand view is before you, not behind you. That may seem obvious but too often we tend to focus on the past. God dealt with our past. When Jesus died on the cross, He paid the price for our sins. He not only paid for our sins, He won forgiveness for the sins of others who have hurt us. If we hold unforgiveness in our lives then God’s grace becomes less effective. If unforgiveness grows it becomes bitterness. If bitterness grows then we become ineffective, insensitive, and spiritually dead. God does not live in bitterness. He lives in grace and has provided grace for every person. Choose God’s grace today. Is there anyone you need to forgive? We can only be good Christian examples if we walk in grace The unsaved see the ugliness of unforgiveness in us and think, “Why do I need Christ? Christians are in just as bad a shape as I am.”

Real Estate How a short sale saved my life By Latroshia Bostic – Broker – Bostic & Associates Realty Group.

I hope this article will reach those homeowners who are undecided about what route to take if they find themselves facing foreclosure; DO NOT WALK AWAY. I was a first time homeowner back in 2003, going through a divorce, operating a full time day care in my basement and had just been given the news that my 16 month old son was slightly autistic; I was devastated. A friend referred a guy to me claiming he would help me save my home. He had me complete some paperwork, charged me $800 and I never heard from him again. I didn’t know who to trust or what my next move would be. I was avoiding the phone calls from the bank and doing my best to keep my sanity. One day I decided to answer the phone, it was the bank and the voice on the other end was an angel sent from above. She explained to me that the bank wanted to work with me to short sale my home. I thought, the bank wants to work with me? The bank that I owe actually wants to work a deal with me? Surprisingly, the answer was YES. The representative explained to me that I didn’t need to pay anyone to prepare the paperwork and that I should contact a Realtor once we were done. I received the papers in the mail, contacted a Realtor and began the process of short selling my home. The home was listed in the multiple listing services and in no time, we had an offer. The Realtor was very knowledgeable, she treated me with respect and the short sale was a success. I was able to relocate my family and get my finances back on track in no time. And because of what I experienced, I decided to become a Realtor, focusing primarily on short sales and educating homeowners to help them avoid foreclosure and the unknown. If you are facing a hardship and don’t know what to do, I encourage you to contact a local Realtor to determine your options. As a homeowner in default, you still have choices.
