RESTAURANT REVIEW: WASABI JAPANESE RESTAURANT

By Lindsey Robbins, Chapel Hill News & Views After hearing many of our friends and family rave about Wasabi Japanese Restaurant my husband and I decided to give it a try for dinner. We have three young kids, so it’s a rare occasion and treat to get to go out to dinner together alone.

We were sat immediately at a hibachi grill. We had a full table with five others sitting with us. One nice thing I noticed about the restaurant is that there are plenty of other seating options if you’re not up to sitting with a group of people you don’t know at the grill, but still want to enjoy hibachi.

Hibachi meals always start out with soup and salad. I enjoy the soup, but I love the salad (mainly because of the dressing). I’ve been disappointed at Japanese steakhouses before - but Wasabi’s ginger dressing is out of the world. It was so good that as my husband was eating his, I kept asking, “Are you going to eat all of that?” Basically meaning, can I have yours?

After those two courses, our hibachi chef headed towards our table. You could tell he was a character right out of the gate. He had a twinkle in his eye that we knew would provide for great entertainment during our hibachi experience. And boy did he live up to our expectations. He had a subtle sense of humor, and did a great job getting everyone at the table involved, even though we were dining with ‘experienced’ hibachi diners who had seen the ‘show’ many times before. He even got me with the ketchup bottle trick. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about - go eat there they’re sure to do it to someone at the table).

As our chef was cooking our food, I was continually amazed at how he remembered exactly what each of us wanted, how we wanted it cooked, etc. I ordered the steak & chicken combination and my husband ordered calamari and shrimp.

But, if you’re anything like me, the fried rice is the most important part of a hibachi meal and Wasabi’s fried rice is excellent. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium temperature and my chicken, flavored with teriyaki sauce, tasted amazing. My husband remarked that the calamari was probably some of the best he had ever had.

I am going to preface this next bit with one piece of information about me - I don’t eat seafood; however when the waitress brought out my husband’s beautiful plate of sushi, even I wanted to try it. Jason is usually the first one to finish his meal, but I noticed he savored each bite of that sushi roll (aptly named the Victoria’s Secret roll).

Overall, we had a fantastic experience. The meal was yummy, the service was great and we had a great time laughing together as the hibachi chef prepared our meal. Wasabi is located at 9436 Highway 5. You may also call 770.577.9188 for more information.

dining French Fry Heaven to open in Arbor Place Mall French Fry Heaven is coming to Arbor Place Mall at the end of April. They will be selling fries with 50 different topping options and sauces and spices to choose from. This has been a hit concept across several states and it will be the first store to open in Georgia. The kiosk will be located in Arbor Place Mall on the lower level between Macy’s and JC Penny.

French Fry Heaven will not only be selling fries, but will also be adding value to the local economy by adding new jobs. According to the owners of French Fry Heaven, the store will be heavily involved in charitable services and community services across the County. The owner (pictured top left) previously worked as a Kumon tutor for children and also worked in Montessori School. She said she has been looking for a right business to own and when she tried these fries she fell in love with them.

Their fries are uniquely cooked in Belgian style, so they are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. They will be selling classic potato style fries, called “Angels”, and sweet potato fries called “Saints.” They have sweet and spicy seasonings and specialty sauces such as Garlic Parmesan and many others. They also have specialty salts such as aussie chicken, pink himalayan, ghost pepper (hottest salt in the world), and others. These fries contain 0% trans fat and are completely gluten free.

French Fry Heaven’s head office is located in Jacksonville, Florida. It was founded by Scott Nelowet, CEO and founder, who got this idea during his Europe vacation. For more information, visit www.frenchfryheaven. com or call 855.841.6379.

Golden City Cruisers celebrates 12 years Did you know that one of the oldest car clubs in West Georgia, The Golden City Cruisers, hails from Villa Rica? Over the course of a typical year, the “Cruisers” will hold cruise-ins on the third Saturday of each month from March to September at the Mill Amphitheater in Villa Rica.

The cruise-ins are a family fun event with cakewalks, music, 50/50 drawings, and lots and lots of beautiful classic cars, trucks, and bikes.

The grand finale of the year is the Car Show in October, that usually draws over 120 cars. It is at this show that the cruisers culminate all of their hard work, and award the charity monies they have raised over the year; $10,000 was given last year. The club has supported groups like the Villa Rica Shop with a COP program, the Tanner Foundation (to provide cancer patient’s transportation), a special initiative to provide distracted driving education classes to high school students, Toys for Tots, and many other equally important groups. Service to others, and a good time, is the glue that keeps this group alive and vibrant in the community.

Look for them at the Fourth of July parade in Fairfield, retirement home festivities, church outings, and grand openings in the area. Check them out at www.goldencitycruisers.com or look them up on Facebook.

Anyone wishing to be a sponsor or join the club may check out their website.

Rehearsals are held at Central Baptist Church, 5811 Central Church Road. The string orchestra meets at 6pm and the full orchestra meets at 7pm.

A Time to Laugh

By Gerald Cooper, circuitridercomedian@yahoo.com It is a proven fact that if people would learn to laugh or remember to laugh they would have no reasons to go to the doctor as much. With that said, it’s TIME TO LAUGH! Dear Circuit Rider Comedian, I’m sure that in your travels you hear all kind of funny things from children. Is there anything funny you could share about Easter? Sincerely, Inquiring mother.

Dear Inquiring Mother, At one of my stops, a Sunday school teacher invited me to sit in her class as a guest. The children really made me feel welcomed. The Sunday school teacher asked her students if anyone knew the story of Easter. A boy raised his hand and the teacher said, “OK Timmy, tell us the story.” Timmy began: There was this feller in heaven named God who was looking down on earth and saw how bad it was. So, God sent his son Jesus to go down to clean things up. Jesus went down as a baby, grew up as a man, and began to preach. Well, there was a whole lot of people who didn’t like what Jesus was preaching so they began to beat up on him, pull on his beard, hit him with a whip, put a crown of thrones on his head and hung him on a thing called a cross. There Jesus died. Then they took him off the cross and placed him in a tomb. On the third day all of the people in Jerusalem - the religious leaders, roman soldiers, and the town’s people gathered at the tomb. When morning came, the sun came up, the stone was rolled back, Jesus came out, looked at the ground, saw his shadow and went back in and they had six more weeks of winter!

The Mad Hatter Invites you to his Tea Party April 5 The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, an annual favorite, returns to the Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville/Douglas County on Saturday, April 5th with two sessions, from 10:30am to noon and from 1:30pm to 3pm. This spring celebration for children and families is presented in partnership with the Douglas County Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association. The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party is a fun and creative opportunity for children from three to ten years old to have an interactive activity, based on Lewis Carroll’s classic, Alice in Wonderland. Tickets are $20 for the first child and accompanying adult; $10 for each additional child or additional adult.

Families will enjoy a round of flamingo croquet, sing-a-long music and storytelling sessions, an egg hunt, games and gift bags, the focal tea party lunch and a luncheon for the children’s parents and grandparents. To encourage adult creativity as well, adults are encouraged to wear their best spring bonnets, and prizes will be awarded for the most creative and original hats worn.

Charlie

By Tim Collins

Band

On March 6th, News & Views publisher Tim Collins had the opportunity to interview Charlie Daniels. The Charlie Daniels Band will be appearing at Mill Town Music Hall in Bremen on April 12th.

You can read the entire interview online at www. newsandviewsusa.com/interviews.

I know you just launched a tour. Is there a particular theme for this tour?

Not really. Once in a while when we have an album come out, we’ll name the tour after the album, but I hadn’t really thought too much about it. I wasn’t sure if I should name it “Off the Grid Tour” or not, because the new album is called Off The Grid. We haven’t really discussed it all that much. We just started touring last weekend.

You tour a lot! I was looking at your schedule.

How many dates do you have this year?

We’ll do around 100 to 110 this year, and then we’ll do 10 Grand Ole Opry appearances, probably some recording, and I’ll do probably somewhere around 200 to 300 interviews, roughly traveling around 100,000 miles – enough to keep a 77 year-old pretty busy.

I was going to say – I am 54, but I don’t think I could keep up with that pace – that’s amazing!

Oh, I imagine you probably could. You’ve got to enjoy every facet of what you do, and I DO enjoy every facet. My favorite thing, and what keeps me going is playing live. I love to do live shows. But I love it all. I love doing interviews, and talking to people, the recording, the writing, the whole thing. I don’t think you can survive in this business or any other one that involves a lot of traveling unless you love what you do.

On April 12th, you are coming to Mill Town Music Hall in Bremen. What can fans expect?

You know there are songs that people buy tickets to hear us play, and we realize that. If I didn’t do Devil Went Down to Georgia, and Long

CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS

Haired Country Boy, and Legend of Wooley Swamp and the things that people have heard us do over the years, people would feel like they were cheated, and I would feel like I was cheating them. So we always do the songs that people have a perfect right to expect us to play. And then, I usually have about four or five places in the set that we can put some new stuff, maybe old stuff we haven’t done in a while. This year, two of the songs that we do will be off our new “Off The Grid” album – the Bob Dylan song album that we are doing. We might grab old songs - something

My favorite thing, and what keeps me going is playing live. I love to do live shows. that was not played on the radio a lot but something that people like and something that people enjoy the band playing. We always try to have a few surprises in there.

Tell me a little bit about “Off the Grid”? What inspired you to do that album, and what are some of the songs on it?

We were approached by the folks that do the Hell on Wheels cable television show. It takes place back in the 1800s, and they wanted us to do a song for it. But, since it takes place in the 1800s, we had to use instruments that were around in the 1800s. We did that, and we were so taken with the way that it sounded – it was a whole new sound for us. And we said, “We should do an album”. I guess it had always been in the back of my mind to do some Dylan music, and I thought “What a great time to do that – let’s do an album of Bob Dylan songs.” We really en-

joyed it. The band really got into it, and the guys really played well and were really creative on it, and I am very happy with the result.

What is the most unusual thing that you can remember happening at one of your concerts?

Well I remember I walked out on stage one night in Washington with my pants unzipped in front of several thousand people. (laughs) That was a little different experience.

Are you writing any new material?

I am always writing new material. Constantly, I’ve always got some songs in the works at one stage or another of being finished. I told somebody the other day I need to live to be 110 years old to get everything that I want to get done before I pass away. So, I’ve always got something to do.

I have not been bored in years. I’ve always got something interesting to do - something I enjoy.

You have played in huge arenas, and some smaller venues, like Mill Town Music Hall. What is different about playing in a smaller venue?

I don’t differentiate between venues. The people at Mill Town will get the same show that a large arena would get. Playing at a smaller venue is a little more intimate. You feel a little closer to the folks than you do in a venue where the crowd is way back, and they have a big barrier between you and the crowd. But like I say, I just go on and do the same show. When people buy tickets, they deserve a show, and when they come to see us they’re going to get the best available that night.

If you look back over the span of your career, how would you say that you have changed?

I have mellowed a lot. I am able to view things a little different than I used to. I take the long view a lot more. I attach importance to things now that I feel need to have importance attached to them, and things that do not really matter I just ignore them and move on.

How old were you when you first started playing the fiddle, and gave your first public performance?

I was about 16 when I first started playing. I’ve never been bashful about performing. Suffice it to say it was probably the first time that I could scratch out a tune. The first band that I ever played in that was making money was started back in 1956. But it was not the band I have now.

Of all of your songs, which ones are the most popular commercially? The Devil Went Down to Georgia?

Absolutely. That’s our signature. I mean that’s the tune everybody identifies us with.

You’ve another song called “Georgia”. Does the state of Georgia have any significance to you?

Oh yeah. I have a history with Georgia. Back when I was a kid I lived in Valdosta for a while and I lived in Baxley for a while. It’s a special place to me and it always has been. And I love the name Georgia. It’s kind of a poetic sort of a name.

What are your plans for the future?

Doing the same thing I have been doing. More records, more touring, more Grand Ole Opry, more creating music and recording music, and being a part of this business that I love so much. I have no plans for retirement and have made no plans for retirement. Obviously I’ll have to quit one of these days for one reason or another, I mean, if for no other reason than I die. But as long as it’s God’s will for me to do this, and as long as people want to hear me, I’ll be out here doing it.

The Charlie Daniels Band will be at Mill Town Music Hall April 12.

On March 5th, Tim Collins, publisher of News & Views, and his son Dylan interviewed country artist Deana Carter.

Deana just released a new album, and also talks about her upcoming appearance at Mill Town Music Hall as a part of The Heart Behind the Music Showcase. You can read the entire interview at www.newsandviewsusa.com/interviews.

I bet you have a pretty busy schedule right now, since you just released your new album “Southern Way of Life”.

Oh yeah, it is. It’s just that I am in between having to write for a Nashville show, and traveling, and being a mom – I’ve got football practice this afternoon. It’s like, “Who am I?,…Where am I?”

CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS

Arts & Entertainment

Were a lot of the songs on the new album autobiographical, based on personal experiences?

Oh yeah, absolutely. I’ve always done that on all of my records. It’s always been very personal, very real. It’s very cathartic to be able to sing through what you are going through. I’m so blown away and grateful that I get to do that.

I know this is the first album in six years for you.

Did you just sort of take off for a while?

Oh gosh (laughs), I wish I could have just taken off, and gone to Kenny Chesney’s island and just hung out. Basically, just, my son got into school and preschool, and I had to pull back. I’ve still been doing shows, and obviously I am doing a lot more shows this year. I’ve been writing a whole lot of songs. But everything was a lot more under the radar than in front of everybody. I had to pull back

“Getting pregnant with my son was a definite wake up call for me that I needed God – that I needed more than what I was able do myself.” from promoting me, me, me, because my focus shifted to being a mom, and focusing on my son and what’s best for him.

I love the lyrics to your new song “Do or Die”. What was the inspiration?

Well, honestly it came to a point where I was a single mom, and living in Hollywood, and life was kind of foggy for me. I’ve got this career that I had a lot of success at, but it’s kind of waning, and I’ve got this child that is looking to me to take care of him. It was just like an assessment, and really getting into my prayer time and asking God to help guide me. Like, what’s going to happen to us – are we done or are we going to keep going? The message was you just really do what you have to do, to do what you are HERE to do.

I sat, literally, on my kitchen floor with my guitar after my devotion time and I just sang out how I was feeling. And the second verse is about what Jesus went through in His life. You know, He did what He had to do, because that’s what He was HERE to do. That’s why He is in the second verse.

Has faith become a lot more important in your life through the years?

Absolutely! And you know the thing about it is when we’re running fullsteam ahead and life is going by and we think we’ve got it all covered, we don’t look to God – we don’t think we need God. It’s sad but it’s true. We all do that. And I think that he gives us enough rope – He never lets go – but He’ll give us enough rope to where we’re like “bungeeing “ almost to the quicksand, you know. And then you cry out for help and you get closer, and you start realizing how much help you need. Getting pregnant with my son was a definite wake up call for me that I needed God – that I needed more than what I was able do myself.

On July 17th, you are coming to Mill Town Music Hall to perform in The Heart Behind the Music. Have you done any shows like that before, and what will that show be like, compared to a normal concert?

Well, the fun thing is that it is in the round, and there are artists that I haven’t seen in years, so you get to check up, you get to re-saturate yourself with talented people that you miss. It’s such a great reminder of how we are all unique and all have a lot to offer. It’s just really, really fun! I am so grateful to be a part of it. And they included me in quite a few of these events that they are having because I am able to sit on a stool and play guitar and tell a story about songs I have written. It’s a fun evening to be a part of. And to do it in the South – I can’t wait.

Thanks so much we really appreciate you taking the time to talk with us!

Oh my gosh. I am so grateful. Thank you for taking the time. You know it’s interesting doing all these interviews because I’ll still sit here and go like “Who am I”? And who I am, is somebody that – I’ve been through a lot and I don’t want people to feel like they are going through it alone. If I can be encouraging in any way, that’s the point.

Do you remember where you were when you first heard Strawberry Wine on the radio?

I want to say I was in my car driving home when I heard it. I just kind of pulled over, and boo-hood, and freaked out and couldn’t believe it. I mean we did tons of radio promos so I would hear it on the radio at the station, but as far as getting caught off guard and seeing that I didn’t have to MAKE somebody play it (laughs) it was definitely in my car driving home.

Of the ten songs on your new album, is there one song that would give someone who had never heard your music the best impression of what you are about as an artist?

WOW – That’s a great question – that’s a tough question. When you’re sequencing an album, you want people to feel you. I do as an artist and a producer. Sequencing means everything. It’s like getting a massage or riding a roller coaster. You don’t just go out the gate. You kind of work your way into it, and then it’s a great experience. I mean I would probably pick the middle song. “I’ll Save My Love for You” might be a sleeper on the record.

It’s about how it’s never too late to have a white wedding – that’s one.

“Southern Way of Life” has a sense of humor, so that’s a side of me. There’s also the real rebellious “I Don’t Want To” which is like, I know I’m supposed to love you but you screwed me over, and I’m mad and I don’t want to love you, but I’m trying to walk through what I am supposed to do . There’s all kinds of me all over that record. I guess I would pick 1, 5 and 10 .

News & Views publisher Tim Collins spoke with David Ragsdale of Kansas on March 3rd, 2014, in advance of the March 8th show at Mill Town Music Hall in Bremen. David is the violinist and plays some guitar for the band, which is celebrating their 40th year. Here are some excerpts from the interview. Read the complete interview at www.newsandviewsusa.com/interviews.

Growing up, Kansas was literally my favorite band, so this is a big thrill for me.

It was one of mine too. I am not an original member. I was a big Kansas fan coming up.

How did you become a member of Kansas?

Do you remember when the album “Power” came out in 1986? Up until this time, Kansas had always had a violin. For that album, they put out an album with no violin. I could actually, in my head, HEAR the notes of the violin. At the suggestion of a friend, I sat down with my 4-track cassette and put Kansas on two of the tracks, and added the violin parts that I was hearing in my head and put it together and sent out a whole bunch of them, I mean I didn’t know exactly how to get it to them. I just started putting them in the hands of anyone I thought might have the most remote possibility of actually getting it to the band. A friend of mine was really good friends with their accountant and he got a tape to Phil Ehart (the Kansas drummer), and Phil was really impressed with it.

What was it like taking the stage with them for the first time?

It was (pause) exciting. I hate to wrap it up in a little tiny word like that. The first rehearsal was a very special moment for me.

Do you like playing in small or large venues better or is there really a difference?

I really do like the smaller venues. When you get in front of too many people it loses its impact, because you tend to try to pick out people to play to. During the course of the evening you can catch on to someone that you feel like is paying particular attention, and you feel like you can move them, and you kind of aim at them.

38 |

CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS

When the audience gets too loud it’s kind of like an overload and you just kind of play to yourself.

You’re talking pretty conservative moral values...The band is very faith driven.

Growing up, how often did you practice?

Well, I grew up hating the violin, because there was not anyone playing the violin. I was forced to play the violin, but when I got into my early teens I really started practicing guitar. Then all of a sudden Mahavishnu Orchestra with Jerry Goodman (on violin), and Jean-Luc Ponty started showing up and I was like “Woah – wait a minute”.

Then I heard Kansas for the first time. I was in high school. I’m pretty sure the first Kansas tune I heard was “Can I Tell You”. And here is this rockin’ violin and that actually had a lot to do with me making the transition back to violin.

Which Kansas song is the hardest to play?

Magnum Opus. When we play that one, you set yourself. It’s like the beginning of a football play (laughs). Then the ball is snapped, and then you execute. If you don’t, you lose the game.

Also, Journey from Mariabron is no cake-walk.

I would think that it would be really hard to synchronize all of the instruments, because everyone is playing so fast, and the music is so complex.

You have to pay very, very close attention.

It’s like playing in a symphony orchestra and Phil (the drummer) is the conductor, and you have to execute.

Arts & Entertainment

What do you think makes the band so popular?

A bunch of really great songs. What’s fun is seeing the young people whose parents brought them up on Kansas. One of the most satisfying images, that I see a LOT, is you look out at a 14 year-old that has seen a whole bunch of bands, but he’s never seen one like this, that can play.

They are standing there flap-jawed. It is one of the most satisfying visual images that I take away from Kansas shows, and it happens frequently.

Most of the songs seem to have a positive message, and I don’t know of any that have any kind of immorality associated with them. Was that an intentional decision?

Kansas is from the state of Kansas. You’re talking pretty conservative moral values. Kerry (Kerry Livgren) and Dave Hope (former bass player) are ordained ministers. The band is very faith driven.

What factors would make you feel like, “Man, that was a REALLY GOOD show”?

A really good mix on stage, where everything turns out to be just the perfect level. Combine that with audience affection inspired great performances, if that makes any sense. We come out and we do what we do. And if things are just right, we are able to inspire the audience, which in turn inspires us, which in turn more inspires the audience, which in turn more inspires us. It turns into almost like a feeding frenzy. Those are the really good ones. They happen frequently enough to where I can give a description of them.

Is Carry on Wayward Son your most popular song?

It’s kind of a toss-up between Carry On and Dust (Dust in the Wind). They’re both still high on the food chain of AOR (Album Oriented Rock).

Administrator at Pine Knoll Nursing & Rehab Center, Carrollton, 770.832.8243, mmurphy@cypresshealthgroup.com According to The Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987, “The resident has the right to be free from ... any physical or chemical restraint imposed for the purpose of discipline or convenience and not required to treat the resident’s medical symptoms.” The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) defines a physical restraint in a nursing facility as “any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident’s body that the individual cannot remove easily that restricts freedom of movement or normal access to one’s body.”

Bed rails have been included in the definition of a physical restraint. Currently, the use of proper bed systems, including bed rails is being examined by hospitals, nursing homes and home care agencies since there have been

might try a bed lower to the floor with pads around it to prevent injury if the resident does get up.

What may be a restraint for one person may not be a restraint for another. If a resident expresses a desire for side rails because they aid in bed mobility, then they may not be seen as a restraint. If a resident requests a lap belt so he can self-propel the wheelchair throughout the building and outdoors, and is able both cognitively and physically to remove it, the lap belt would not be seen as a restraint.

All residents receive individual assessments by interdisciplinary teams of qualified, professional staff. Our goal in the nursing home is to be restraint free to the greatest degree possible. Quality care approaches are those targeted to keeping residents as active and independent as possible. It may involve increased activities, a strengthening program development or a medication review. Some express concern that failure to use a restraint will result in more frequent falls and more serious injuries, studies show that nonuse of restraints does not necessarily increase the rate of falls and sometimes lessens the incidence of serious injury when falls do occur.

Local florist or online service?

By Cyndie Bozeman, Frances Florist, 7020 Broad Street, 770.949.8711 Have you ever wanted to send someone flowers to express your feelings and let them know you are thinking of them only to be disappointed in what they receive? Chances are if you ordered your flowers online from one of the national companies then you were probably thinking your arrangement would have been different or bigger.

When you choose to order from a non-local florist then you are not getting your money’s worth in flowers, even though the arrangement comes from a local florist. What most consumers don’t realize is you get more value for your dollar when you call and place your order with your local florist.

With national companies you are most likely charged a fee for the arrangement, processing and delivery. For example, if your order totals $100 with all your fees, you are assuming you are going to get $100 worth of product.

However, your local florist will receive an order showing a total of $75 of which the sending service will take approximately 29%, so they then have $53.50 to work with. The local florist will have to take their delivery fee, so you are looking at $43.50 for an arrangement that you are spending $100 on. If you call your florist directly, that same $100 will get you $90 worth of product plus a delivery fee.

It’s important to support your local businesses. It’s your local florist that will spend hours with you and help you design your wedding and it’s your local florist that will be standing there for you on weekends when a loved one passes away. You should always be welcome to drop in and look around at your local florist. Get to know them and let them get to know you and the styles you prefer and they’ll be about to better assist you with all your floral needs. Spend wisely, spend locally.

Reflections

We Will Live Again!

Even so, we dread what may be involved in the transition from this life

to the next one. We wonder, Will I have to suffer? Will I be a burden on my family and friends? Will loved ones remain near me during whatever the dying process takes me through? Will my faith remain strong, or will I react like someone who does not believe in God’s love, grace, and mercy?

Rather than berate ourselves for dreading what may be involved in the dying process, we should take comfort in knowing that even the saints have feared “getting out of this old body.” No one desires intense, unrelenting suffering. No one wants to experience declining abilities. No one wants to need constant care. No one! Not even the strongest Christians among us!

Even Jesus begged to be spared from the agony of dying on a cross.

Although He perfectly understood the necessity of His dying in order to save sinful mankind from eternal death and destruction, He still shrank back from personal suffering.

Whenever He knew His time to die was imminent, He prayed, “‘Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will, not mine’” (Luke 22:42).

He prayed so fervently and His agony of spirit was so great that His “sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood” (Luke 22:44).

Church

www.chapelh

Even though He perfectly understood the reason for His death and the suffering it would require of Him, He shrank from it. Although He knew that death was not the end of His life, He dreaded the process He would have to go through in order to return to His eternal home in Heaven.

If Jesus dreaded the dying process, then we shouldn’t berate ourselves

for doing so. But we should, like Jesus, submit ourselves to the Father’s will, to the Father’s plan and purpose for our lives—whether the dying process is an easy one or a difficult one.

Once we accept the fact that we will die—someday and in some way— we can comfort ourselves by remembering that death is not our final state!

In other words, we will not “stay dead.” The same power that raised Jesus from the dead will also raise us from the dead. We, too, will live again!

An awesome new kind of life awaits us, no matter what toll the dying process takes on these mortal bodies. One day “when our perishable earthly bodies have been transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die,” we will shout, “‘O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?’”

(See 1 Corinthians 15:54-55).

The Family Connection An Emotional Faith

By Kerry Patuka, a degreed and certified educator, licensed minister and founder of Drive 5 Ministries.kerrydrive5@yahoo.com

For Christians, Easter is a very emotional time.

Our Messiah is betrayed and arrested by one of our own – the hurt, the betrayal! We worry. Will we be arrested next? We fear. Will we be persecuted for being His followers? He is tortured and dies a cruel death – could anything be more devastating? As we begin to mourn and prepare Him for burial, it’s discovered His body is stolen. We’re angry and upset. In an instant, He is standing before us. The shock; the joy! He’s here! He’s alive! We rejoice!

Before we know it, He’s saying good-bye again. He ascends into Heaven leaving us with a mission. There’s a mixture of emotions: sadness, peace and determination. What an emotional roller coaster in such a short time.

Now compare what those Christians experienced to our Easter experience today. Will we attend church? Few churches even offer a Good Friday service. How many of us will sit through church and think about Easter dinner, the afternoon egg hunt or having to work the next day? Truthfully, is Easter Sunday much different than any other Sunday?

What does this have to do with parenting? Lately, I’ve been thinking about how we express our faith to our kids – emotionally. We’re their role models and we all know that what we do and how we act are much more powerful than what we say.

We use emoticons to help convey emotions that written words simply lack. When we speak, we can use our body language, voice inflections and facial expressions. Emotions are important to get the true intent of our message across. Without them, something is missing. Words, whether written or spoken, are flat when not imbued with emotion.

Think for a moment about how sports fans act. When their team scores, they jump, cheer, clap, throw their arms in the air and high five strangers.

When their team does poorly, they yell, pout, pound their fists and get angry. They’re emotionally impacted by how their team performs and they freely express those emotions. Imagine a team winning and the fans politely clap and say, “that was nice”. If a team loses, do the fans simply remark “oh well, we tried”? I don’t see that happening.

In 2 Samuel 6, “David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets.” When his wife was upset about his behavior, he tells her “I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this and I will be humiliated in my own eyes.”

Maybe we should ask ourselves some questions. Have we lost an emotional connection with our faith and with our Savior? Are we showing our kids an emotional faith? When we discuss our faith with our children, do we punctuate it with “emoticons” or do we simply tell them “facts”? Do we rejoice and lament with our fellow Christians as they experience successes and failures? Are we willing to become “undignified” when we worship God? Do we care too much about what others think about us? Think on these things. Look for opportunities to express our emotions with our faith.

Arbor Place Mall Announces Play Area Partnership with WellStar Health Systems Arbor Place Mall, in partnership with WellStar Douglas Hospital, is delighted to announce a partnership and official Grand Opening celebration for the children’s play area.

WellStar Douglas Hospital is sponsoring the play area and, along with Arbor Place Mall, hosted a variety of events on Saturday, March 29, 2014 to celebrate.

The play area, which is located in the Food Court on the upper level of the center, features a custom designed entrance element to showcase WellStar’s Ambassador of Well-being, Dr. Wellbee and his beehive. After entering, children are greeted with outdoor/ camping themed structures such as a centrally located play tree climber, tunnel, slide, ladybug climber, dome tent and more. The interactive play area inspires fun, exciting, educational, healthy and safe play for children.

All elements featured are sturdy and child friendly. The play area is situated on a large grass-colored floor appropriate for crawling, climbing, and playing. In addition to serving as an entertainment spot for kids, the play area provides an oasis for parents to relax and watch the action from benches around the play area.

“Connecting with the community in Douglasville is very important to us,” said Doug Meeks, General Manager of Arbor Place Mall. “We are delighted to be working with WellStar Douglas Hospital on sponsoring the play area for the community so that families can play where they shop!”

Hi!

My name is Wiltrina Jones, I am the founder and owner of “I Use To Be U” online meal planning services at www.iusetobeu.com.

A Little About Me...

I used to smoke cigarettes, black & milds, was on high blood pressure medicine, thyroid medicine, pain medicine, only had energy to work, had knee pain, acid reflux, and back pain. I could barely walk in Walmart without being exhausted and out of breath, even leaned on the basket as I pushed it. I was always looking for a close parking space and always used the handicapped stall because it was larger for my size.

I weighed 400 lbs and didn’t want full body pictures taken. I didn’t want to look past my face in the mirror. I focused on what I felt looked good to take the focus off of my body, like no body could see I was obese, and much more.

Now this is me, absolutely none of the above is no longer valid if anything is the exact opposite. It didn’t take long, it just took me surrendering myself and not fighting against what I knew I needed to do. No surgery, no fad diets, I provide online customized 12 week meal plans for only $10 a week. I help clients in New Zealand, Australia, Bahamas, Africa, Canada, The USA & more. I have clients losing as much as 26 lbs in 30 days. I can help you too! For more info and testimonies visit www.iusetobeu.com and order your plan today!

Nail Care Pointers Pedicures for Medical Needs People with unique circumstances such as diabetes, cancer, arthritis, calluses, bunions, hammertoes, fungus, corns, and ingrown toenails need special attention shown to their feet. Many people have difficulty caring for their own feet due to thin skin, poor circulation, and lack of flexibility in their bodies. Many of these people would like to receive pedicure services, but are afraid to risk getting a pedicure from a discount nail salon. With their unique needs, their pedicures MUST be safe and sanitary. Safe, sanitary nail salons always follow state guidelines using hospital grade disinfecting and sanitizing procedures between each client.

As we mature, we become especially susceptible to foot problems.

Feet tend to spread with age, losing the fatty tissue that cushions the bottoms. Once the padding has deteriorated, the feet become more tender and prone to dryness. Every step can cause a small, repetitive injury – producing calluses, dry heels and thickened cuticles.

As we age, oil-producing glands slow down production – causing skin to become thin and dry. Dry skin also has less strength than moist skin, so

dry feet run an increased risk of cracking and developing a foot infection. The older we get, the poorer our circulation becomes – particularly in our hands and feet. Thin skin is more easily injured. It must be handled with more care than usual. Foot and leg massage on the elderly should always be done with a very light touch.

Thin-skinned clients require extra-gentle treatment. A special needs pedicure protocol will include special care in several areas. The skin must not be broken with any kind of pedicure implement. Dead, dry skin should be removed with a gentle exfoliant that dissolves or softens.

Dead, dry skin must not be removed by credo cutting or scraping. The cuticles should be pushed back gently – any broken skin could invite infection. Many elderly clients have a condition called neuropathy which causes a reduced sense of feeling in the feet. The water temperature should always be tepid – not too hot or too cold. The feet should be gently blotted or patted dry. Special needs clients should apply a good moisturizing lotion to their feet daily.

While preparing for this column, I had a lot of ideas on how it should feel. Some things made me smile, some things made me sad. We’re surrounded by images of beauty. The media bombards us with “acceptable” beauty. So, let’s take a closer look at it.

We’re told constantly that we’re not pretty enough, thin enough, tall enough, that our complexion isn’t light enough, lips aren’t full enough, our rear ends aren’t plump enough, our breasts aren’t big enough. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had ENOUGH! Make no mistake, I like you, love a few creature comforts. Things that make us feel good. Things that enhance what our Creator already blessed us with. I’m also very aware, that how we present ourselves to the world, is how the world treats us. Yes, we get one shot at making a fabulous first impression. My question and concern is, what impression are we really leav-

be taken, for the desired results. In both instances, our skin will be cleansed, buffed, massaged and product applied. All of this leads to the wonderful moment when you smile at your pretty, painted toes. The wonderful moment when your beautiful face is radiant and renewed. Both of these things make us feel amazing. In His Image, we already are.

Psalm 139:14 - I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Our lives are a lot like those services where we’re groomed and pruned, but it doesn’t always feel good to us. Life happens and the tough, not so pretty lessons, are preparing us for our destiny, for something greater. So rest assured, that there’s beauty in waiting. We wait in a pedicure, we wait during a facial. Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to wait on the Lord.

He’s designed some beautiful things for you too.

Pest Control

Termites & Preventative Measures

By Richard Faulds, President, AEL Pest Solutions, 678.898.0915 (c), 678.840.4449 (o), richardf@alternativeenvironments.com, www.alternativeenvironments.com

More than 365,000 homes in the U.S. are involved in a fire each year.

More than 600,000 U.S. homes suffer termite damage totaling over 1.5 billion dollars annually. This is more than the annual damage caused by all fires, storms and earthquakes combined. More than 2 million homes need termite treatment each year. Homeowners insurance may cover losses from

fires, floods and earthquakes, but it’s almost impossible to get insurance against termites.

Finding out that your home has termites scares most homeowners. Typically you can’t see or hear them, and often only a trained inspector can detect an infestation. Treatment by a homeowner to control termites is virtually impossible. Specialized knowledge and equipment are needed for effective control.

Termites are found in almost every state as well as Mexico and Canada.

They can eat wood, paper, books, cardboard boxes or furniture. In buildings with steel framing and masonry walls, termites can destroy wooden doors, window frames, support beams, cabinets or shelving.

How Termites Live Although there are more than 2,000 species of termites, the Eastern and Western subterranean termites are by far the most common, widest distributed and most damaging in the U.S. The following description refers to these closely related species.

Termites eat cellulose, a complex chemical in plant cell walls, and they are very important in the natural decomposition of fallen trees and other plant products. Subterranean termites build their colonies in the soil or tree poles, and rely mainly on the soil for moisture.

A subterranean colony may have 60,000 to 1.5 million termites, including several “castes,” each with distinct behaviors. These include reproductives (queen, king and winged swarmers), soldiers and workers. Workers are small (0.1 – 0.25 in. long), creamy white insects. Soldiers are larger (0.20.4 in. long) with one soldier for every 20 workers, and have a large dark head, with long, strong, sharp pointed jaws that they use to attack intruders.

Property owners seldom see workers or soldiers, but in the spring they may see swarming “winged reproductives,” which can easily be confused with a winged ant unless you look closely.

Preventative Measures • Stack all firewood, lumber or other wooden items several feet away from your building.

• Keep all wood supports of porches, patios, decks or separate buildings more than one foot from contact with your home’s foundations; and use only pressure treated wood for all construction that contacts the ground.

Even treated wood has a limited protection period.

• Move all wood containing mulch (even cedar or redwood) and decorative wood chips at least one foot from your homes foundation. Sand and stones can be just as attractive an alternative and they discourage pest (including termite harborage next to your building.

• Repair leaking water lines or fixtures, especially if they wet any part(s) of your house. Repair any eaves, downspouts or roofs that allow your house to get wet even occasionally.

• Monitor moisture levels and take steps to reduce moisture build up in any crawl spaces.

• Relocate frequently watered gardens or flower beds as far away from the house as you can.

• Change your outdoor lights from “white” bulbs to “yellow” or pale “amber”, especially during the Spring, to reduce attraction of any night swarming termites or insects near your house.

that radiates from a well designed landscape. How well will your landscape read?

Don’t Forget About Your Hardscapes

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

There is a very common saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Which we all take to mean it’s what a person has on the inside that counts and not the overall outward appearance. What makes each of us unique is the combination of flesh, bones, and soul that combines to make us who we are as individuals. This same concept can be translated to your home’s landscape, as well. I know it might seem like a stretch, but hear me out on this. Of course, when we first look at a landscape, we hope to see pretty plants, clean beds, and freshly laid straw - these items are known as the “softscape”. This outward appearance can be fussy, or as low maintenance as you like. The important thing in making a good first impression is clean and neat, but all the fluff is what takes a landscape from good to great.

Think about your morning routine - does it take a little or a lot of effort to create your unique look. Do you make a good first impression? Let’s hope so.

Now let’s dig a little deeper. Below our outward appearance, humans, have a very strong skeletal system that holds everything up. Without it we would all just be a pile of skin and organs, right? In the landscape a good skeletal system is needed as well - we call it “hardscapes”. The hardscapes comprise the driveway, walkways, patios, paths, etc. that we create in our landscapes. Some of the elements are required. A garage without a driveway cannot serve its intended purpose, but a lot of hardscape elements serve a functional purpose, if the need calls for it. Take a patio for instance, it is a great addition to any back yard; it allows the homeowner to utilize their outdoor space in a clean environment throughout the year. Without the hardscape, the softscape may suffer from overuse, resulting in ruts, compaction and ultimately a big muddy mess.

Hardscapes can be made of many types of materials that range in price.

A low cost hardscape may be made of concrete. The benefit of concrete is the low installation cost per square foot; however in the long run, it is prone to cracking and costly repairs may be in the future. Loose aggregate is also another lower cost hardscape solution. With proper installation, it can stand up to years of wear and tear with regular upkeep. A hardscape solution we love is decorative concrete pavers. Pavers popularity has sky rocketed in recent years because it is both affordable and beautiful. Pavers come in a wide variety of styles and can be laid in different configurations to give them a somewhat unique semi-custom look. The last option is the most expensive, but don’t let that discourage you - natural stone. Like I said, natural stone can be expensive, but it also gives your outdoor space a very unique, individual look that is both beautiful and timeless. Stone is extremely durable and long lasting with few problems, if installed correctly.

When planning your landscape, consider the hardscape “bones” before you jump to all the other fluff and stuff. Although retrofitting a hardscape element after the fact is possible, it can be very disruptive to the landscape.

Planning ahead for any patios, pathways, fireplaces can save a lot of headache and money.

Septic Tank Care

Bacteria and Your Septic Tank By

Lynn

McMichael,

Septic

Solutions,

770.489.2095/770.942.PUMP, septictankfixer.com

Bacteria - the word makes you want to find the Lysol! It may be undesirable in most cases, but it is very important in a septic system.

The septic tank holds waste while bacteria begins to break down the solids that settle in the bottom. This bacteria is anaerobic, meaning it doesn’t need oxygen to survive. The solids that are broken down are turned to liquid called effleunt. This effluent then flows out into the drainfield or field lines.

The field lines contain anaerobic bacteria and aerobic bacteria which needs oxygen to survive. The aerobic bacteria is also in the biomat which is a tar-like substance that coats the sides and trenches of the drainfield. The effluent travels through the biomat where the aerobic bacteria continues to treat the wastewater. When the bacteria in the system has been reduced, solids are not broken down and they travel into the field lines and clog the system. The waste will rise to the top of the ground or begin to back up into

your home. A costly repair may be needed to replace the field lines.

There are two ways to keep your septic system in working order. The first is to have your septic system pumped for maintenance every two to five years. The bacteria cannot digest all of the solids so they will have to be removed by pumping the tank. The second thing you should do is not destroy the bacteria.

This bacteria, like the bacteria on your kitchen countertops, can be killed with various chemicals. Never pour paint, varnish, herbicides or pesticides down a drain or into a toilet. You may use bleach but do not use more than necessary. Never flush prescription drugs, especially antibiotics, down a toilet. Your pharmacist should be able to dispose of any unwanted medicine.

The bacteria can also be killed or reduced when an occupant in a home is on chemotherapy drugs or is suffering from bulimia.

The best way to avoid disrupting the bacteria is to allow only waste, toilet paper and water from bathing and washing clothes and dishes to enter the tank. Use bleach and bleach based cleaners sparingly. If you need to add bacteria, you can usually purchase this from the septic company that pumps your tank.

Benefits of Maintenance

right amount of electricity

By Ken Borts, KBS Heating &

Spring is here and we all know what that means - it will soon be time to turn on the air conditioner. Most of the time our air conditioner is taken for granted. We get hot, we turn it on, and that is all we think we are expected to do. The air conditioner receives little or no maintenance unless the unit breaks down. When a system is neglected, there is gradual loss of efficiency, which can add to operating cost without your knowledge. You tune up your car; why not tune up your air conditioner?

An air conditioner tune up can reduce operating costs and prolong the life of your system. Before hot weather arrives, schedule a tune up with a service professional for your air conditioning system. They will make sure it is operating as efficiently as possible; it has enough refrigerant to cool properly, clean & oil moving parts if necessary, and replace or clean your filter.

A clean filter keeps dirt out of the return air duct vent and out of your system. A dirty filter that causes a 10% reduction in airflow can increase your operating costs by 11%. When you schedule this vital service in advance, you can go into the summer season without worrying about the unexpected breakdowns.

Below is a list of some of the services that are performed on an air conditioning tune up that will benefit your system:

• Check refrigerant temperatures and pressures. Makes sure your system is operating at peak efficiency

• Lubricate indoor and outdoor motors (where applicable): Motor runs smoother, cooler, and lasts longer

Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival Set For June 6th - 8th The Douglas County Tourism and History Commission proudly announces that the 7th annual Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival will be held Friday - Sunday, June 6th - 8th, 2014, at locations throughout Douglas County. The Festival will be centered at the Douglas County Courthouse, 8700 Hospital Drive. The Festival is the largest tourism event in the County.

The Festival will feature: • Flower Market, featuring plants and flowers (Courthouse grounds, free admission) • Artists’ Market, featuring original art, pottery, sculpture, jewelry, original home décor, garden structures and antiques (Courthouse grounds, free admission) • Farmers’ Market, featuring fresh items from the garden and cupboard (Courthouse grounds, free admission) • Tours of Private Gardens, featuring Nationally recognized private gardens (ticketed feature) • Complimentary Gardens and Displays (free admission) • Summer Sampler Wine Tasting on Friday night (ticketed feature) • Standard Flower Show, featuring the “Ruby Slippers” hydrangea theme flower and 500 horticultural entries in flowers, trees, shrubs, and related categories (Courthouse Atrium, free admission) • Southern Living’s “The Grumpy Gardener, Steve Bender” presentation (ticketed feature, Citizen’s Hall, Courthouse).

Each year the Commission chooses a theme hydrangea around which the Standard Flower Show and Festival are planned. The 2014 theme hydrangea is “Ruby Slippers” (Hydrangea quercifolia). In early summer, “Ruby Slippers” is covered with clusters of flowers on stems that are held upright above the foliage. Flowers open white, but quickly turn pale pink and then deepen to rose.

“Ruby Slippers” brings to mind the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz”, and the Standard Flower Show will develop this theme throughout the exhibits. “The Wizard of Oz” will celebrate its 75th year in 2014, and the initial screening of the film was June 5th, 1939 - 75 years minus one day from the Festival. “The Wizard of Oz” will be shown in Citizen’s Hall of the Douglas County Courthouse on both days of the Festival.

The Festival is run by volunteers and the flower show by Douglas County’s four garden clubs. The whole Douglas County community gets involved in decorating for the Festival with hydrangea arrangements gracing mailboxes, front doors, homes and businesses.

The Festival is named for Atlanta native Penny McHenry, Founder of the American Hydrangea Society, who received her first hydrangea as a memorial gift at the loss of Mrs. McHenry’s daughter. Mrs. McHenry had close ties to Douglas County and her family has given permission for the use of her name for the festival. Both the “Penny Mac” and “Mini Penny” hydrangea varieties are named in her honor.

Vendor applications will be accepted for the festival markets through May 1st; vendor applications are on the event web site. Tickets to all events are now available from the event web site, www.PennyMcHenryHydrangeaFestival.com. For more Festival information, call the Douglas County Department of Communications and Community Relations at 770.920.7593.

business & technology Marketplace Ministry Tip

By Rob Streetman, inLight Consulting, www.inLightConsulting.com, rob@inlightconsulting.com Here we are, roughly three months into 2014 – time for a check-up. So, how are you doing with the goals God has established for you this year? You do have goals, right? If not, you better get some. Let me know how I can help.

For the rest of you, I hope you have not become distracted from your goals by the urgent; or discouraged by your progress. Believe it or not, there are some Marketplace Leaders that have already given up their goals entirely. If any of this describes your situation, let me encourage you: 1. It is not uncommon to become frustrated with goals that have not been established by God. After all, He is the CEO; and He will direct His resources to meet His goals. It may be necessary for you to take a mulligan on this

year’s planning, and begin again by asking your CEO what He wants you to accomplish with His enterprise.

2. If you are pursuing His goals, then you may be running into a few challenges – even chaos. This is normal (say that to yourself). God allows challenges and chaos to prepare and refine us for the ultimate challenge – letting our light shine for His glory (Matthew 5:16).

3. We also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance, character; and character, hope; the hope does not disappoint (Romans 5:2-5). But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance (Romans 8:25).

Marketplace Ministry Tip: Spend some quality time reviewing (or establishing) your goals with your CEO. His door is always open. Let Him assess the 1st Quarter, and speak into the next. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart (Galatians 6:9).

Mosquito Away was recently founded by three people who wanted to enjoy their summers. Co-founders Eli and Courtney Whitney alongside April Cleek founded Mosquito Away, a safe and natural way to rid your yard from mosquitoes for up to 30 days at a time.

The mosquito is not just a pest; it’s an intruder, capable of wreaking havoc on both your outdoors and your health. This species, feeding from any host, acts as a carrier for diseases, potentially ingesting viral strands with every bite. These strands can then be transmitted to you, placing you among those individuals who become ill each year because of contact with mosquitoes.

Computer News Cleaning Your Computer

By John Scherer, President, Computer Helper, 770.489.1790, www.computerhelper.org BEFORE YOU START: Always turn off the equipment before cleaning. During software cleaning you will have to turn it back on. Try to stay away from carpet areas to avoid static electricity. Staying away from carpets will help. Lay your hand on the outside metal of the computer making sure you and the computer are of the same charge.

THE SCREEN: To decrease screen strain you should clean the screen.

The older screens (CRT) are made of glass and can be cleaned just like you clean any glass.

The newer screens (LCD/LED) are different and need a different solution. Here are the do’s and don’t’s.

The do’s: TURN OFF THE SCREEN (Unplugging is even better); dampen a soft cloth (microfiber) with a mixture of 50/50 vinegar and water; and rub softly until the screen is clean. You may need to re-dampen the screen but don’t let it be runny. The LCD/LED’s are fragile so be gentle. Use a circular motion.

The don’t’s: Don’t use ammonia, ethyl alcohol, paper towels, tissue paper, paint remover type items. Don’t spray cleaner directly on to the screen.

Spraying could result in some liquid getting into the device and causing problems.

THE OUTSIDE: It is time for a fresh can of compressed air, NOT the air compressor from the garage unless you would like to blow parts off the boards. I can tell you a funny story about that. From the outside you can look around and when you see a fan spray it. Sometimes you may have to restrain the fan to help have the friction necessary to remove the dust and dirt. Make sure it is turned off or unplugged. You can restrain the fan from turning with a tooth pick or something similar.

While you have that can of air, work on the keyboard. If possible hold it upside down while blowing between the keys. It is amazing what comes out if you hold it upside down and lightly shake it! If you want to clean the keys any better use a swab that is moistened with the vinegar mix mentioned above. If the top of the keys are pretty dirty, (like me you eat while you work), you can lightly dampen paper towel with the mixture and lay them on the keys to soak for a while.

If you are a little bit brave you can open the desktop computer and use the can of air to blow the dust out. Give special attention to the CPU fan.

Mosquito Away’s mission is to help with the control of these mosquitoes and start protecting you and your family. Their barrier spraying solutions include Organic treatments and Advanced Yard treatments, both healthy and safe for your yard, plants and pets. This barrier spray rids yards from tics, chiggers, no-see-ums and other pests.

Mosquito Away stands by their product, offering 100% satisfaction guaranteed ensuring you and your family start living mosquito free. Mosquito Away offers free yard evaluations to discuss mosquito reduction solutions for your home. For more information, you may visit www.

MosquitoAwayToday.com or call 888.392.6777.

Some I’ve opened would require another whole can of air! At this point you would want to make sure your fans turn easily with your finger. If not they would need to be replaced.

SOFTWARE: It is time to close it up and turn it on. Now before you do anything else BACK IT UP. If you have not or don’t know how to back it up, don’t do anything else until you know how and back it up.

Once it is backed-up there are some simple things you can do. On your desktop there are files and shortcuts that were meant to be temporary or you have not used them for a while. Get rid of them. When you delete a short cut you aren’t removing the program but just the short cut.

Still, financial education is important to Georgia parents. When asked if they encourage saving or help their children save, 87.3 percent said they did, and 83.1 percent said they discuss financial topics such as saving, budgeting and responsible spending with their children.

money & finance for a fee. A barter exchange functions primarily as the organizer of a marketplace where members buy and sell products and services.

Trade Dollars

Four Things You Should Know if You Barter Courtesy of T. Dennis Connally Consultant, P.C., Certified Public Accountant, 8483 Campbellton Street, 770.920.2890, tdconnally.com

Bartering is the trading of one product or service for another. Usually there is no exchange of cash. Barter may take place on an informal one-on-one basis between individuals and businesses, or it can take place on a third party basis through a barter exchange company. A barter exchange is any person or organization with members or clients that contract with each other (or with the barter exchange) to jointly trade or barter property or services. The term does not include arrangements that provide solely for the informal exchange of similar services on a noncommercial basis.

Unlike one-on-one bartering, members of exchanges are not obligated to barter or purchase directly from a seller. Instead, when a barter exchange member sells a product or a service to another member, their barter account is credited for the fair market value of the sale. When a barter exchange member buys, the account is debited for the fair market value of the purchase.

Internet-based Barter The Internet provides a new medium for the barter exchange industry. Pure Internet-based barter companies differ from traditional, organized trade exchanges in that they do not have a physical office. In modern Internet barter exchanges, there is an agreement or process in place to value goods and services exchanged, which is facilitated by the barter exchange

Barter exchanges have their own unit of exchange, usually known as barter or trade dollars. Trade dollars or barter dollars are valued in U.S. currency for the purposes of information returns. Trade dollars allow barter to take place between parties when one party may not have a simultaneous need or desire for the goods or services of the other members. Earning trade or barter dollars through a barter exchange is considered taxable income, just as if your product or service was sold for cash.

Here are four facts about bartering: 1. Barter exchanges. A barter exchange is an organized marketplace where members barter products or services. Some exchanges operate out of an office and others over the Internet. All barter exchanges are required to issue Form 1099-B, Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions. The exchange must give a copy of the form to its members who barter and file a copy with the IRS. 2. Bartering income. Barter and trade dollars are the same as real dollars for tax purposes and must be reported on a tax return. Both parties must report as income the fair market value of the product or service they get.

3. Tax implications. Bartering is taxable in the year it occurs. The tax rules may vary based on the type of bartering that takes place. Barterers may owe income taxes, self-employment taxes, employment taxes or excise taxes on their bartering income.

4. Reporting rules. How you report bartering on a tax return varies. If you are in a trade or business, you normally report it on Form 1040,Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business.

Don’t use over-the-counter remedies unless they are approved by your veterinarian. However, if your dog doesn’t have flopped ears, there’s no need to clean it regularly, as they can do it themselves. In fact, too much cleaning could damage it. To be sure, talk to a veterinarian.

Microchipping

The Douglas County Animal Shelter, as well as any veterinarian, can implant a microchip in almost any pet. Microchips do not wear down, fall off, or scratch off, and are designed to last the life of a pet.

It is an integrated circuit and does not contain a battery. The chip is about the size of a large grain of rice and in dogs and cats is usually inserted below the skin at the back of the neck between the shoulder blades. Horses, birds, ferrets, hamsters, and other pets can be microchipped. Douglas County residents may have their pets microchipped at the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road. The cost is $10 and the pet owners will need to register their pet with a service company that may charge an annual fee for monitoring.

The Douglas County Boys & Girls Club is inviting young and old to come out to the Foxhall Resort and Sporting Club on Saturday, May 3, 2014, registration/breakfast/warm-up starting at 8:30am and the shoot at 9:30am. Foxhall Resort and Sporting Club located at 8000 Capps Ferry Road right outside Douglasville is one of the most beautiful and captivating locations available for an event of this type. Participants will be shooting clays on the 15 station course. In addition to family fun, participants will get to see some of the best marksman in the area doing what they do best and the clays don’t mind a bit.

Proceeds from this event will support Douglas County Boys & Girls Club programs that continue to make a difference in the lives of the County’s children. Those efforts create meaningful successes such as the 100% graduation rate of the 2013 senior high school members with 100% of those members going on to college! Event sponsors and participants make it all possible and this year sponsor opportunities are available at varying levels.

For the $2,500 Title Sponsorship a sponsor would receive two fourmember teams with two premium 4-person carts to maneuver the course, sponsor’s name and/or logo prominently displayed as the Title Sponsor on the event banner, event web page and all event publications, with special recognition at the event. At the $1,000 level sponsors will receive one shoot team of four and one 4-person cart, name and/or logo displayed on the event web page and publications and recognition at the event. At the $750 level two individual shooters will participate, that sponsor’s name and/or logo will be displayed at one of the course’s stations and this sponsor’s name and/or logo will be displayed on the event web page and publications. If you would simply like to come out and be a part of this great event, 4-person team prices are $500 or $125 for an individual shooter. All shooters will receive breakfast and lunch that day. Other sponsorship opportunities include Registration Sponsorship for $500 with your company’s name and logo prominently featured at the Registration Tent that morning, Breakfast or Lunch Sponsorship for $500 each with your company’s name announced and displayed prominently during those meals, and the Game Station sponsorship at $250 where your company will be prominently displayed and announced while many of the shooters enjoy skill games after lunch. In addition, for $100 your company name, campaign, or just a simple message of appreciation will be displayed on individual signage at one of the 15 shooting stations around the course.

Cart rentals are available for $75 as are gun rentals for $50. Carts are limited and reservations for their use are recommended. The tournament will provide ammunition for .12 and .20 gauge guns that day – based on advanced registration. Side games will be available for participants. No alcohol is allowed and participants and spectators will be required to wear eye and ear protection.

Please contact Mike Stephens at 770.718.8575 or Tracie Ivey at 770.920.7129 to sign up.

Photo by Lolo Jones After winning the Bronze Medal in 2010, Douglasville resident Elana Meyers upped her game and earned the Silver Medal in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. We talked with her for about 20 minutes after she got back. For the complete interview, visit our website at www.newsandviewsusa.com/interviews.

First of all, congratulations on winning the silver medal! That’s an unbelievable accomplishment.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

It sounds like you’ve been really busy since you’ve gotten back. What have you been up to?

Yeah, I’ve been super crazy busy. So, I got back and one of the first things I did was I went to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and did an event there. BMW, because they build our bobsleds, brought a bobsled down there for the kids. They brought mini-bobsleds down, it was just such a wonderful event. That’s how everything started and it has just gotten busier since then.

When you went to Sochi, did you feel you had a really good chance to win a medal?

Yeah. You know, when we were training, I was having really good training down times, and I felt confident that I could nail the track and have the kind of runs that I wanted. Unfortunately I didn’t exactly have the runs that I wanted, but they were still good enough to win the silver medal.

CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS

Going into the final heat of the Bobsled in the Olympics, you had a slight lead, but the sled from Canada had gained on you in the 3rd one. Was there more pressure to try to hang on to the lead?

I didn’t really feel that much pressure. I was just trying to go out there and execute, and do the things that I know how to do. Kaillie Humphries and I had been going back and forth all season.

I finished second to her in our overall World Cup season. I knew it was going to be a battle between the two of us, and I was prepared for it, and I really didn’t feel any pressure. Unfortunately, I just made a mistake.

Yeah, that happens. Was that your best World Cup season so far?

Yeah, so far. I was first or second in every race except one. And in the one I wasn’t in, it was literally just a bad 10 meters. It wasn’t a bad full run – it was a bad 10 meters that ended up costing a 12th place finish – for a bad 10 meters, (laughs) 10 meters in the WRONG spot.

you have a curve and then another curve back to back, you kind of know “OK that’s not that bad, I can make up this time”. But when you hit it in a straightaway, you’re just like “Oh No!”

What was it like to get on the bobsled for the first time?

I was excited. It was a great thing to be able to try, but scared wasn’t the word. I didn’t know what was going on, I was disoriented. But, I think there is a little bit of fear, any time you bobsled because you know something very bad can happen. The cool thing about bobsledding is I get to face that fear every single day.

That has to be an adrenaline rush. I bet your heart rate goes way up during a run like that too.

Oh yeah – and it’s so much fun. I can’t think of anything more fun to do than to drive a bobsled.

It is…I can’t even put into words. When you hit a good run, when you’re really firing on all cylinders it feels like you’re just flying, because you are gliding so smoothly. You feel like a superhero.

That’s got to be agonizing if you hit the wall or something, and you think, “Oh man”. That’s just got to be a bad feeling when that happens.

Was the bobsled hard to learn as a new sport, or was it pretty easy?

Yeah. And especially in that part because I hit it in a straightaway, and when you are in a straightaway, and the same thing in Sochi, but when you’re in the straightaway it’s just like “Oh my gosh!” and you know immediately. When

It’s a hard sport for everybody to learn. Even though my brakeman has only been doing it 6 months, that’s more of a testament to the crazy athlete she is than anything else. When you see that you think it’s easy, but she’s one of the fast-

Fitness & Wellness

est women ever to run in the world. That’s just how great of an athlete she is. It is extremely hard to get the technique down. And even her, who pushed crazy fast in the Olympics, she’s got so much more potential. You have to learn how to be a bobsledder. And for driving – I’ve only been driving for 4 years now, and in order to really feel like you ‘ve got a hold of your sled, it takes at least 8 years, so I am still relatively young in terms of driving a sled.

So, you’ve got a lot of competitions to go!

pics. We’re not just waiting for the Olympics to happen.

How many hours do you train in a given week?

It’s a full-time job, at least four to six hours a day. If we’re not training then we have Sports Psych, or Sports Med, or whatever meetings we have, video analysis, and all that kind of stuff.

You’ve had a ton of support from Douglas County. Was that support helpful to you during the Olympics?

I’m definitely going in 2018. I believe I still have a good bit to grow in the sport. But, you know after that, I eventually want to have children sometime, so whether it happens before or after the next Olympics is the question. I’m getting married in Douglasville in April.

Well, it’s always helpful to know that I have that many people behind me, and supporting me. It really helps me to do my very best. And, it’s been huge for me to be able to have so many people behind me.

Congratulations! Is your fiancé a bobsledder?

I know bobsledding is a very expensive sport.

How do you finance the cost of competing?

He was a bobsledder. That’s actually how we met. He bobsledded, and didn’t make the Olympic team, so now he’s back to being a track and field coach. Right now he’s a strength and conditioning coach in Chula Vista California.

Where are the Olympics going to be in 2018?

Pyeong Chang South Korea.

I know you are probably trying to take a little break right now. When are you going to start training again?

Probably at the end of April. We have our World Cup season of eight races every year, and our World Cup Championship every year. So, we’re racing every year leading up to the Olym-

It gets kind of interesting. So, I work part time jobs. I will go back to working part time jobs. Last year I didn’t because I was focused on the Olympics. I do different fundraisers. Anything I can to try to make money. I also have a couple of sponsors that I was able to pick up – BMW, Deloitte, and Devry University. I have to be creative about my resources because I can’t hold a traditional 9 to 5 with my training schedule. I have to find employers who are willing to work around my schedule. GE hired me last season to do some remote work, to write health and fitness blogs

When you are off competing in the World Cup or in the Olympics, what do you miss most about being away from Douglas County?

The food. You know I have so many great spots that I go to eat, whether it’s Fabiano’s, or Yogli Mogli, I love my hometown. I love the fact that I know where to get all the best food.

Looking ahead, does winning the silver medal make you even more determined to win the gold medal next time?

Oh definitely. I think when you come that close to winning a gold, a tenth of a second, you’re so close you can taste it, you can’t help but be fired up for that.

You are a huge inspiration to many young girls (and boys) who admire what you have accomplished. What advice would you give to a young athlete that dreams of someday achieving that level of success?

Well, I think the number one thing is you have to love whatever you want to do. Find your passion and don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do it. As long as you are passionate and have fun at whatever you are doing, you are going to be successful. The biggest thing I see also, with young people, is they don’t have the confidence to go out and try something new. You have to just put yourself out there and be willing to try new things, and believe in your abilities, believe in the hard work that you’re willing to put in, and just go for it.

for them. Now, I’m back to being unemployed.

So it’s always a creative mix to figure out how to keep funding this dream.

Psychologist Corner Memory & Learning

By Rebecca S. Blakeman, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist - Adolescent Child Specialty Services, 4935 Stewart Mill Road, 404.310.1161, rblakemanphd@yahoo.com Without memory, there is no learning. It is memory that allows us to ‘hold onto’ new information, so that that information can be incorporated with previously learned information and used to solve new problems/situations. There are many types of memory that impact academic learning, and understanding specific memory strengths and/or weaknesses can be helpful in identifying effective intervention and accommodation strategies.

In a very simplistic manner, we have two main ways that information is presented…visually and verbally. Visual information is what we see and cannot always be easily described or ‘translated’ into words. Verbal information is what we hear or read, and involves the use of language. Most individuals can learn information that is presented visually or verbally, though they may be somewhat more efficient at learning information that is presented in one manner over the other. However, there are some students who experience significant learning disabilities because they cannot encode, or ‘store’ information that is presented in one of the formats. For example, a student who has a severe impairment in learning information that is presented visually may be unable to remember states or countries on a map, and cannot benefit from ‘seeing’ flashcards of sight words or math problems. These students may also struggle significantly with learning geometric concepts. For students with this type of weakness, it can often be very helpful to turn visual tasks into verbal tasks, by giving elaborate and detailed verbal descriptions of the information (e.g., Florida is the state at the bottom right hand corner of the United States that ‘dips down’ below the others).

Some students have difficulty with learning new information that is presented verbally. Sometimes this involves a weakness in rote verbal memory, such that they have difficulty remembering which city name goes with which state as the capital. This can also impede the learning of math facts and spelling, though some students can compensate for this by relying on visual repetition/rehearsal. One of the most detrimental memory issues occurs when a student is unable to learn new meaningful verbal information, such as stories in history or science explanations; this weakness is rather rare, but can occur, even when intelligence is intact.

Working memory is another form of memory that is impaired when attention difficulties are present. Students with problems in working memory have difficulty ‘holding onto’ information long enough to use. This can interfere with ‘simple’ tasks, such as remembering teacher directions (e.g., what page did she say to do? Which part did he say we should do first?). This can be especially problematic when students have to follow multi-step directions.

Working memory also is critical for math, as poor working memory can cause students to ‘lose’ what they were doing in the middle of a problem.

Most students, even with learning disabilities, do not have severe problems with memory. However, for students with severe learning difficulties not associated with an intellectual disability (i.e., low IQ), it is important to examine underlying memory and learning skills in order to identify appropriate interventions.

children & education Annual Character Breakfast to be held April 23 Retired Colonel Danny McKnight, featured in ‘Black Hawk Down, will be the keynote speaker at the Annual Character Breakfast on Wednesday, April 23, at 7:30am at the First Presbyterian Church of Douglasville.

Black Hawk Down is a 2001 American war film directed by Ridley Scott. Actor Tom Sizemore played LTC Danny McKnight, the commander of the third Ranger Battalion.

“On October 3, 1993, Task Force Ranger was involved in America’s most savage raid since the Vietnam War. The book and the movie provide a fascinating and realistic look at what soldiers can and will do for each other and their country.”

“Colonel McKnight brings his experience to others through his presentation that provides a better understanding of the unparalleled commitment and leadership required to be successful when executing operations in the most difficult and severe situations. Many key values associated with suc-

Character Word - Appreciation The character word for April is appreciation and can be defined as the expression of admiration, gratitude, or value. The key phrase in that definition is “expression of.” Often we fail to express our appreciation to not only our God but to others who have loved us, cared for us, provided for us, protected us and sacrificed for us. How often do we say “they know how I feel; I don’t need to tell them?” Why do the simple words of “thank you” stick in our throats when they should easily and often flow from our lips with genuine appreciation? care for their safety and well being. When a child enters foster care, it is important for that child to be able to remain in their familiar surroundings.

Georgia Cancer Specialists Collects 3,600 Bags for State’s Foster Children During 12th Annual Totes 2 Tots Drive

Have you had your Yearly Skin Check?

Did you know?

• Everyone needs a yearly skin check.

• Light hair, fair skin and sunburns before the age of 18 increase risk of skin cancer.

• Rough, dry scaly patches, pearly white bumps, or irregularly shaped moles/lesions could be signs of skin cancer.

• More than 3 million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the US this year.

6043 Prestley Mill Road, Douglasville 770.739.7546, www.skinangel.com

Thanks to a strong outpouring of support from the community, the 12th annual Totes 2 Tots suitcase drive, sponsored by Georgia Cancer Specialists (GCS) and Northside Hospital, was a huge success. More than 3,600 backpacks, suitcases and other bags were donated at GCS offices across Georgia during the Jan. 17 event. GCS partners with Georgia’s Department of Human Services (DHS) Division of Family and Children’s Services, which will distribute the bags to foster children who need them.

“This was our biggest, most successful Totes 2 Tots drive, ever,” said Dr. Cheryl Jones, M.D., vice president and chief medical officer, GCS. “Year after year, Totes 2 Tots allows us to demonstrate our commitment to the foster children in our state and invest in their futures. I am grateful to the community, our volunteers and everyone who contributed to the success of this event.”

Approximately 7,500 children, from infants to teenagers, are currently in the foster care system in Georgia. Many of these children shuffle their belongings in garbage bags when they are removed from their homes. Since Totes 2 Tots was first launched in 2003, the annual volunteer event has collected approximately 37,000 bags.

“It may seem insignificant to the rest of us, but for a child whose life is upended, these generous gifts offer some sense of stability in the transition to another home,” said DHS Commissioner Keith Horton. “The Totes 2 Tots program is not just another drive for a material need; it is a program that seeks to provide our state’s foster children with a sense of dignity and respect during a difficult time in their lives.”

For the 9th year, Totes 2 Tots received media support from WSB-TV’s Family 2 Family Project, the longest-running locally produced, comprehensive, station-wide public service effort in Georgia. Cox Media Group’s Atlanta radio stations B98.5, Kiss 104.1, 97.1 The River, and News/Talk WSB on 95.5 FM and 750 AM also provided generous support.

Adult Bible Study Class

Again this year, Christians from throughout the West Georgia area will gather in solidarity with others around the Nation for the 62nd National Day of Prayer, Thursday, May 1st. As in years past, area residents can participate in one or both, of two local gatherings.

At noon, citizens will gather on the steps of the Douglas County Courthouse on Hospital Drive for a 45 minute, time of prayer lead by community leaders, pastors, ministers and government officials - with a brief introductory greeting from Ned Fowler, chairman of the Prayer Center of West Georgia. (If inclement weather, the gathering will take place in Citizen’s Hall, in the courthouse.)

At 7:30pm, in the ballroom at the New Douglasville Downtown Conference Center on Church Street, there will be an informal, intimate, evening gathering of the community for a time of worship and prayer, with inspirational music and scripture readings.

Both events are free of charge.

your car. To get where you are going, you have to: * Trust them to get you where you need to go. * Submit to their leadership; otherwise you get lost. * Keep your eyes on them; if you lose sight of them, you’ll get lost. * Go at their pace, not get ahead or fall behind.

This is what is involved in following Jesus, too.

We have to trust Him to guide us where we need to go. We have to submit to His leadership--His will before our own. We have to stay focused on Him and go at His pace. If we do this, He’ll lead us to where we need to go. And here’s even more good news - in the process He’ll lead us to our life purpose.
