Irish Bred Pub to add wraparound balcony Irish Bred Pub will be adding a wraparound balcony to its second floor. Construction began late September and the new facility, which seats 50 guests, should be open around mid-late October. They were originally hoping to build this extension in time to celebrate their fifth anniversary back in April; however, these things always take a little longer than intended so the completion of the balcony will be their way of celebrating their anniversary, albeit belatedly. Check back next month for information. Irish Bred Pub is located at 6682 Broad Street in Downtown Douglasville.

dining Jerry’s Gourmet Burgers in Villa Rica lives up to burger aficionado’s expectations By Lindsey Robbins, Editor, Chapel Hill News & Views My husband loves burgers, so much in fact, that I sometimes I wonder if he loves them more than me. Okay, so not really; however he is always on the search for a great burger. So, as soon as I found out about Jerry’s Gourment Burgers, I knew it had to be at the top of our list of restaurants to try. As we drove down Dallas Highway, we found it immediately. The exterior is bright yellow with red trim. It’s located right next to the Texaco at 820 Dallas Highway. It does sit back from the road just a little. We walked up and were immediately greeted by Jerry at the ordering window. We took a look at the menu and Jason ordered the burger (duh!) and I ordered a Philly cheesesteak. I spent a summer in Philadelphia in college as a missionary and have a deep love for them. Jerry asked me what I would like on it and I said he could just make it however he likes to prepare it. He then THANKED, yes thanked me for ‘letting him make it that way’. You know someone is a great chef and has a love for food when they are so passionate about the toppings on a Philly cheesesteak. Jerry left to prepare our food and we sat in one of the booths (there is only outside seating). We then hear, “Okay kiddos, here you go!” (Well played, Jerry. It’s always good to make 30-year-olds feel young again!) Jason went to pay and Jerry said, “No! Enjoy the food now, while it’s hot. We’ll take care of it when you’re done.” Jason brought the food over and I immediately gawked at the size of his hamburger. It was huge and filled to the brim with the perfect burger toppings. It was super juicy and the cheese was melted perfectly. Jason took one bite and I knew he was in love. My Philly was amazing as well. The best

part was how cheesy it was. A lot of places seem to miss the ‘cheese’ mark on the Philly CHEEESEsteak, but not Jerry. Both meals were served with fries, which were delicious. They have other menu items as well. I have to say - I always love seeing people who are following their passions in life and Jerry is passionate about food.

Monterrey on Highway 5 updates menu Monterrey Mexican Restaurant on Highway 5 has a new menu. All of your old favorites like freshly made guacamole, fajitas, and chicken wings are still there along with some soon to be new favorites. Some of the new menu items are: Sonora chicken pasta penne, which is pasta tossed with sautéed onions, mushrooms and tomatoes in a creamy cheese sauce topped with charbroiled blackened chicken breast; authentic Mexican ‘Torta’ sandwiches (your choice of meat (chicken, steak, chorizo, carnitas, milaneza), lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, jalapeños, and cheese with a side of fries); and Texas nachos, which include a mix of fajita steak, grilled chicken, and shrimp, cooked with onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers, covered in nacho cheese. New taco options include chorizo and al pastor tacos The lunch menu has also been updated and lunch specials are served Monday through Saturday between 11am and 3pm. Monterrey on Highway 5 is one of only a few restaurants in the state to have certified master Mezqualiers and certified master Taquiliers. They also have the largest selection of Mezqual and Tequila around, with over 20 varieties of Mezqual and over 150 varieties of Tequila in house. Monterrey also has a new infused margarita. This margarita is made freshly on the spot and natural fruits replace the mix which also results in lower calories. Keep your eye out for Monterrey’s upcoming Burrito Challenge.

Lieberman Retires After a Decade of Arts Leadership in Douglas County The Board of Directors of the Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville/ Douglas County regretfully announces that it has accepted the retirement notice of Laura Lieberman who has served its Executive Director since January 2003. She will continue through December when her current contract ends. A search committee, chaired by Marcita Scharnhorst who recently retired as GreyStone Power Corporation’s Vice President of Human Resources, is being formed of local human resources experts and community art leaders in order to seek her successor. Before coming to Douglas County, Laura Lieberman had served as the development director of the American Museum of Papermaking, managing director of Young Audiences of Atlanta, director of the City of Atlanta’s Bureau of Cultural Affairs’ Arts Clearinghouse, visual arts editor of Southern Accents magazine, and a founder and editor-in-chief of Art Papers. During her tenure in Douglas County, the Cultural Arts Council initiated and developed many new events and projects including the Spring Break Arts Camp offered in partnership with Douglas County’s Department of Parks and Recreation, the Dia de los Reyes Family Fiesta which was presented as one of seven outstanding international community cultural projects by Americans for the Arts, the Kinna Chamber Concert series offering the historic Roberts-Mozley home as an intimate setting for classical music, the Butterfly Garden managed in partnership with the Douglas County Master Gardeners and featured annually during the Hydrangea Festival, the Arts in After School program which has just received National Endowment for the Arts funding to expand its partnership with the Douglas County Schools’ Community in the Schools program and to establish a new partnership with the University of West Georgia’s School of the Arts and its theater department, the 157-foot-long community-based ceramic tile mosaic mural created by Helen Helwig and 160 county residents and permanently installed in Douglas County’s Boundary Waters Aquatic Center and the twelve “Banners of History” created by Pam Beagle-Daresta and Douglas County High School students and permanently installed in Douglasville’s Hunter Park recreation center, the Empty Bowls luncheons and its “create and donate” workshops raising funds for local food distribution programs including the Food Pantry and A Gift of Love, the annual gala (scheduled for November 23rd this year), the Arts Giving Circle encouraging individual patrons, and the Turner Cassity Literary Festival, now in its third year of encouraging excellence in writing, which is earning a national and international reputation for its intimate quality and educational value.

arts & entertainment Video Game Review By Chadd Franklin, visit his website: chaddstournamentfuntime.com Hello Gaming Community! This month I am reviewing Chaos Code, a downloadable PlayStation Network fighting game. The game has the basic modes of play, Story Mode, Versus Mode, Survival Mode, and a Practice Mode. The one mode that the game is lacking is an Online Mode, but that can be overlooked because it’s an average fighting game that doesn’t feel overpowered and anybody can pick up and play. The game uses a standard eight-way lever and four button (weak punch, weak kick, strong punch, strong kick) system. Characters can be customized prior to the fight, such as selecting two “edit special moves” from four possibilities to go along with the character’s built-in attacks. Players can also select between “run” and “step” modes, placing the focus respectively on speed and technical play. The game makes use of a couple of systems that can quickly change the flow of battle: Destruction Chaos: A high level super move that, if successfully connects, can eliminate half of the opponent’s life gauge; Exceed Chaos: Place the character into a special status which removes limitations on combos. The game costs $12 and the only drawback is that the characters are unknown. All in all, it is an ok game. If you love fighting games, it is a worth a purchase, but if you don’t, you may want to pass this one up. This game gets a 3 out of 5 stars.

situation, and I heard different callers say different things about dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, including some that were clearly not correct in my experience. I thought about how often in our nursing home, family members do not have a good understanding of what dementia is, so I decided to write a little about this it month. Please keep in mind that as I write this I am not claiming to be an expert, nor am I a medical person. This column is written strictly from my own research and experience. The medical definition of dementia is “a loss of mental ability severe enough to interfere with normal activities of daily living, lasting more than six months, not present since birth, and not associated with a loss or alteration of consciousness”. In other words, it wasn’t there when you were born and it didn’t happen last week but is gone this week. Dementia can be the result of strokes, of alcoholism, of repeated blows to the head or of diseases such as Alzheimer’s. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common from of dementia, and accounts for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease, which means the symptoms get worse over time. While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, there are treatments that can improve the symptoms for a time. Persons with Alzheimer’s disease live on average for eight years after their symptoms become noticeable to others but can live as long as 20 years depending on other health conditions. Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death in the US. Some early signs of Alzheimer’s disease include: 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life; 2. Challenges in planning and solving problems; 3. Difficulty in completing familiar tasks at home, work or at leisure; 4. Confusion with time or place; 5. Trouble understanding visual images or spatial relationships; 6. New problems with words in speaking or writing; 7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps; 8. Decreased or poor judgment; 9. Withdrawal from work or social activities; 10. Changes in mood or personality. If you notice any of these changes in yourself or someone close to you, make an appointment with your doctor. With early detection, you will receive the maximum benefit from treatments, as well as more time to plan for the future. For more information, visit www.alz.org.

community every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little” (Philippians 4:11-12). Paul was not speaking piously. He did indeed know how to “take it as it comes.” In 1 Corinthians 4:11-13, he wrote, “To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, without enough clothes to keep us warm. We have endured many beatings, and we have no homes of our own. We have worked wearily with our own hands to earn our living. We bless those who curse us. We are patient with those who abuse us. We respond gently when evil things are said about us. Yet we are treated like the world’s garbage, like everybody’s trash—right up to the present moment.” Paul’s response, like that of others, is explained by the words in the refrain of “Trusting Jesus,” a hymn written by Edgar P. Stites in 1876. “Trusting as the moments fly, / Trusting as the days go by; / Trusting Him what-e’er befall, / Trusting Jesus, that is all.” The verses in that song reveal that Mr. Stites, like the apostle Paul, was familiar with the ups and downs of life. For example, the words he used in verse three describe how he dealt with whatever came his way: “Singing if my way is clear, / Praying if the path be drear; / If in danger, for Him call; / Trusting Jesus that is all.” Dear Reader, if you and I learn to trust Jesus no matter what, we will be able to bear whatever hardships life gives us.

marriage & family The Family Connection Halloween: Fun, Fear, Festival or Forego? By Kerry Patuka, a degreed and certified educator, licensed minister and founder of Drive 5 Ministries, a ministry for churches and children’s ministry. kerrydrive5@ yahoo.com

Halloween memories from my childhood range from fun to fear. I grew up in a city and everyone walked to school. Halloween was always celebrated on the Friday before Halloween, so on that Friday, we went to school for a half of a day, then we went home for lunch. We would head home, eat, change into our costumes and hurry back to school for the parade, costume contest and class parties. I enjoyed making my own costume, treats to share with friends at the party and decorations. That night was Trick-or-Treat in the neighborhood. But there was this one house at the end of our block. They would spend more than a week prepping the house for that one night. A spider would drop on your head from the upstairs window when you rang the doorbell. There were caskets, cauldrons and dry ice covering the front lawn. Black lights and posters filled the other windows and a whole cast of costumed adults were roaming here and there. Don’t forget the creepy cackles that were emanating from the house. This part was fear. I would insist on crossing the street and walking on the other sidewalk. Our neighbor was actually

a really nice man and he invited my parents to bring me down during the day as he was setting up. He showed me how everything worked and explained that it wasn’t real. I even managed to actually ring the doorbell one year...but it was still scary. The world has changed in many ways since I was a child. Christian parents today may find that deciding what to do with their kids and Halloween is a difficult decision. My husband and I have chosen to focus on the fun and the festival aspects. We decorate the house for fall and focus on the change of the season. Most years, we have participated in a church-hosted fall festival on Halloween night. My sister’s family has chosen to simply forego participating in any Halloween-timed festival or activities. Whatever your family decides to do, there’s one thing we can probably agree upon. We can respect other families who have made a different choice than ours did in regards to this holiday and time of year. We each should be able to explain to our kids why we made our choice, but we can also demonstrate that God may have different plans for different families. Some families use Halloween as an opportunity to shine for Jesus and that may be exactly what God has planned for them. I’ve been surprised over the years at some of the behavior I’ve seen from Christian kids at fall festivals, activities or Trick-or-Treating. If you have older children and your family chooses to participate in Halloween activities, consider setting some expectations with them. If wearing a scary costume, be kind and considerate to younger children. Don’t scare people who don’t want to be scared. Please don’t push others, grab candy greedily, steal someone else’s treats or make fun of someone else’s costume. We can use this holiday to teach (or remind) our kids to not let the fun, fear or festivities of the season negatively impact their attitudes, actions or faith.

Everyone is doing it. Look at a crowd and you can easily see several people looking down at their phones and rapidly moving their thumbs. The newest research is indicating that people are texting more than calling each other. The habit of texting is much higher amongst the newer generations, but everyone is texting more and more. A person texting is usually sitting with their phone in their lap. The head is bent forward and down while the eyes focus on the phone. The average person will also roll in their hips and sit in a slouched position. The recent research by Business News Daily reports that Americans are spending more than 12 hours a week texting on average. The position of the body and the time spent in that position is creating an epidemic in our society. The epidemic is anterior head syndrome (AHS). Structural chiropractors, concerned with the human spine being in a normal range of alignment, are having to correct AHS more than ever before. As science and technology are advancing, we are able to determine normal ranges of many things in the body. There is a normal range for blood pressure, heart rate, liver and kidney function, etc. The research and years of clinical data has also determined the ideal norm for the spin and a range within which the human body functions at an optimal level.

facing over time. One secondary condition is bad posture with the head moving forward, causing a hump to develop in the upper back region. Other secondary conditions include pain, numbness, tingling in the neck and going down the arm and the hand. Long periods of looking down and texting causes a rapid degeneration and arthritis. Imagine a bowling ball weighing about the average weight of the human head, about 15 pounds; if you were holding the ball on top of your shoulders, you could balance it easily. Now, extend your arms out while holding this ball. What happens within seconds is you feel the pressure from the ball in your entire spine. You would start to feel that way just by holding the bowling ball for few seconds, but with texting you would be doing it for much longer periods of time. The body would start to misalign itself into an abnormal range. It is obvious why there is huge concern about the time spent texting, the spine and the health of the person who has developed anterior head syndrome.

Personal Trainer Benefits of Exercise By Robin Stricklin, Certified Personal Training, Gold’s Gym Personal Training, 770.949.1116

Exercise has many benefits. With just 30 to 45 minutes of activity three to five times a week, you will begin to realize improvements both physically and mentally. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of exercise: It helps reduce stress, depression and anxiety. Ninety percent of the benefits of exercise are above the shoulders. Get moving and you will feel energized, less stressed and you will improve your sleep. So get moving! It strengthens your bones. We lose bone as we age and we lose the strength in the remaining bone. The more weight and stress you put on the bones the more they grow. Physical activity is a tremendous way to maintain bone strength; especially in women. The best way to avoid osteoporosis is to strength train! It keeps you young. The two most critical elements of aging are the ability to think and move as you want to. As we age, starting at about 40 years old, we lose 1 to 2% of our muscle every year. That translates to lost strength. Think about how strength is to healthy aging; carrying your groceries, luggage, playing with grandkids, getting out of bed in the morning. So strength and function are critical for healthy aging and avoiding disability. Physical activity helps maintain physical function. If you don’t use it, you will lose it. It can lower blood pressure, but not in everyone. There are genetic components in blood pressure which are sometimes hard to override. But, exercise definitely contributes to your overall health, and can help in so many different ways. It helps your heart rate! We all know physical activity benefits car-

dio vascular health/disease. How? It lowers your heart rate because your nervous system shifts from a stressed pace (sympathetic) to a relaxed pace (unsympathetic), which is the rest tone. So people who are physically active have lower heart rates. It protects against Alzheimer’s and Vascular Dementia. Exercise is important because vascular dementia (caused by clogged blood vessels in the brain) is another form of cardiovascular disease. Exercise lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease. It also lowers blood sugar which decreases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. Early detection is vital and the American Cancer Society recommends: • Women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year and should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health. Current evidence supporting mammograms is even stronger than in the past. In particular, recent evidence has confirmed that mammograms offer substantial benefit for women in their 40s. Women can feel confident about the benefits associated with regular mammograms for finding cancer early. However, mammograms also have limitations. A mammogram can miss some cancers, and it may lead to follow up of findings that are not cancer. • Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam (CBE) as part of a periodic (regular) health exam by a health professional preferably every three years. Starting at age 40, women should have a CBE by a health professional every year.

Going to college can be a stressful time for students and parents. The IRS offers these tips about education tax benefits that can help offset some college costs and maybe relieve some of that stress. American Opportunity Tax Credit. This credit can be up to $2,500 per eligible student. The AOTC is available for the first four years of post secondary education. Forty percent of the credit is refundable. That means that you may be able to receive up to $1,000 of the credit as a refund, even if you don’t owe any taxes. Qualified expenses include tuition and fees, course related books, supplies and equipment. A recent law extended the AOTC through the end of Dec. 2017. Lifetime Learning Credit. With the LLC, you may be able to claim up to $2,000 for qualified education expenses on your federal tax return. There is no limit on the number of years you can claim this credit for an eligible student. You can claim only one type of education credit per student on your federal tax return each year. If you pay college expenses for more than one student in the same year, you can claim credits on a per-student, peryear basis. For example, you can claim the AOTC for one student and the LLC for the other student. You can use the IRS’s Interactive Tax Assistant tool to help determine if you’re eligible for these credits. The tool is available at IRS.gov. Student loan interest deduction. Other than home mortgage interest, you generally can’t deduct the interest you pay. However, you may be able to deduct interest you pay on a qualified student loan. The deduction can reduce your taxable income by up to $2,500. You don’t need to itemize deductions to claim it. These education benefits are subject to income limitations and may be reduced or eliminated depending on your income. If you itemize deductions on your tax return, you may be able to deduct certain miscellaneous expenses. You may benefit from this because a tax deduction normally reduces your federal income tax. Deductions subject to the two percent limit. You can deduct most miscellaneous expenses only if they exceed two percent of your adjusted gross income. These include expenses such as: • Unreimbursed employee expenses. • Expenses related to searching for a new job in the same profession. • Certain work clothes and uniforms. • Tools needed for your job. • Union dues. • Work-related travel and transportation. Deductions not subject to the two percent limit. Some deductions are not subject to the two percent of AGI limit. Some expenses on this list include: • Certain casualty and theft losses. This deduction applies if you held the damaged or stolen property for investment. Property that you hold for investment may include assets such as stocks, bonds and works of art. • Gambling losses up to the amount of gambling winnings. • Losses from Ponzi-type investment schemes.

Tax Bill Payments: If you get a bill from the IRS, you should pay it as soon as possible to save money. You can pay by check, money order, cashier’s check or cash. If you cannot pay it all, consider getting a loan to pay the bill in full. The interest rate for a loan may be less than the interest.

Using Recycled Concrete 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

On a recent trip to visit my daughter at college, we took in a concert at the outdoor amphitheater. The band was not that good, but I was very intrigued by the stonework that comprised the main stage and aprons. From a distance, it appeared to be constructed of natural fieldstone as the colors varied throughout the facing; however, upon closer inspection, I found it to be recycled concrete. Now I have seen concrete repurposed before, in fact a classic example lies at Callaway Gardens in the Sibley Horticultural Center. But the difference there is that the concrete is mixed with real stone to give a much more natural look. In the amphitheater example, pictured, the walls are completely comprised of broken pieces of concrete. The look comes off as a cross between natural stone and manufactured segmental wall blocks. The ecological benefits of using recycled concrete are huge. Since concrete is one of the world’s most popular building materials having a lifespan of 50-75 years before needing to be replaced, the importance of keeping old concrete out of our landfills is paramount. Additionally, by recycling an existing concrete surface, you eliminate the need to manufacture new concrete material for your wall project, thus eliminating transportation/fuel costs, gravel mining, and water usage. Recycled concrete walls are constructed by using broken up pieces of concrete mortared together to create a wall that uses its own weight for stability. When constructed, the base will be wider than the top and the wall should angle back into the slope slightly. This type of wall is considered a mass gravity wall and is one of the earliest types of wall construction. Have you ever seen pictures or visited a site that had old walls outlining the fields? These are typically mass gravity walls. The character and charm they create is wonderful and can be imitated quite cost effectively using recycled concrete. Constructing recycled concrete walls makes the most sense when you have a source for the concrete readily available. Keep your eyes out for neighbors replacing driveways or contact contractors who may relish the idea of offloading their debris with you. Better yet, if you can recycle the concrete you already have on site, its carbon footprint is drastically reduced.

Interiors,

770.459.9096, www.karenhartleyinteriors.com

Today’s homes have wonderful windows designed to bring the outdoors in, along with the light. Window treatments are an important element in your room decorating. You need to consider the sun control, privacy, and the overall room decoration. Most people take care of the privacy using the most common of products but ignore, or forget, the importance of the other issues. Yes, they can be expensive and probably aren’t an early priority, but planning will help you get it right when you do get ready to invest in your windows. If those windows are on the north side of your home, you don’t need sun control; however, if your windows get sun, you probably also get heat, glare, and even some UV into your room, along with that wonderful light. There are many solutions for all of these issues. Some will block the sun,

some will block the light, and some will help control the heat and UV coming in - blinds, shades, shutters, even solar film. Do your research or ask a professional and get the right product to serve all your needs! Of course, these products can also provide privacy. In my experience, some people want around the clock privacy, some only care about it at night, and some people don’t care at all! Your own personal preferences will help narrow down the type of blind or shades you may need in your home. If you want to open up during the day, be sure you select a product that opens easily and off the window as much as possible. Once you have solved the privacy and sun control issues, you still need to consider the decorative window treatments to enhance the other aspects in the room. Draperies are very stylish today. That can mean simple side panels that hang on the sides of the window or it can mean something more decorative and more detailed. Draperies can have trim, sewn-in valances, tassels, and beautiful rods. Valances and cornices are also stylish and can be combined with the drapery panels for a combined treatment. The window treatment should always compliment the window and the other furniture and accessories in the room. Colors and styles should work together for the maximum impact. If you are fortunate to have an interestingly shaped window, then your window treatments will need to follow the lines of that shape to capture the best interest of the window. Tall and two-story windows are a major focal point in a room and the window treatments will add to that focal point by drawing attention to the window. The fabrics selected, the pattern and texture, the embellishments on the window treatments, and even the rods and hardware all play a part in setting the stage for the feeling whether it is very casual or very elegant. The options today are almost endless! Remember, no matter what you spend, if you really love the results you will live with them a long time! Have fun with the process, seek help when you need it, and then enjoy!

Pest Control Spider Management

By Richard Faulds, AEL Pest Solutions, 678.840.4449

Successful spider management requires pest management professionals (PMPs) to practice exclusion and deliver targeted treatment solutions Spiders are eight-legged arthropods that can become nuisance pests when they are found around residences and businesses. There are an estimated 35,000 species of spiders worldwide, with about 2,500 species found in North America. Though most spiders are harmless, a few species, such as the brown recluse, black widow, brown widow, hobo and yellow sac spiders, can inflict dangerous bites. A complete understanding of pests’ biology, lifestyle and predatory habits will assist in the most effective control. Like insects, spiders are arthropods — they have jointed appendages and exoskeletons. Spiders differ from insects in several important ways: • Spiders have only two body segments, the cephalothorax and the abdomen, while insects have three distinct body segments. • Spiders have eight legs, instead of insects’ six legs. • Spiders do not have wings. In addition to these differences, spiders also produce silk, which they use for a variety of purposes — including capturing prey, constructing harborages, making egg sacs and locomotion (both as drags and as parachutes). The average spider lives about two years, although some are known to live up to ten years. In reproduction, female spiders lay clusters of eggs, which they wrap in silk sacs. The spiderlings hatch inside the sacs, and remain clustered in the sacs for the first few molts. Spiders will molt four to 12 times depending on the species. Once ready to leave the sacs, the emerging spiders disperse and seek suitable habitats. Spiders are predators, making them beneficial to humans because they feed on other nuisance pests. Spiders do not have chewing mouth parts.

Rather, they have fangs, which are used to inject venom into and immobilize their prey. While fascinating in their diversity of design and beauty of construction, the presence of spider webs around residences and businesses is one of the main customer complaints arising from spider problems. Also, although most spiders present no danger to people and are usually beneficial in terms of insect management, consumers and business owners do not want to see spiders in or around their dwellings. Effective spider management requires an integrated approach and the cooperation of property owners. As with any integrated pest management (IPM) program, spider management begins with thorough inspections to identify conducive conditions and the location of spiders and their prey. Inspect indoors for webs in corners near ceilings, around windows and doors, and behind furniture and other furnishings adjacent to walls. The following steps can help reduce the number of spiders in and around structures: • Seal cracks and openings around the structures. • Repair screens on doors and windows. • Install weather stripping on doors. • Ensure proper ventilation in crawlspaces and attics to reduce excess moisture. • Use sticky traps to monitor spider activity and trap them indoors. • Vacuum webs and spiders from harborages. Be sure to seal and dispose of vacuum bags immediately. • Thorough and regular house and office cleaning will help discourage spider activity indoors. • Redirect or change outside lighting to draw insects away from the building. The use of sodium vapor lights or yellow lights will reduce the number of insects attracted to the lights and discourage spider activity. • Modify environments by pruning and cleaning the landscape to reduce harborages for spiders and insect prey.

With the success of that location, they continued to grow with two more locations in the West Georgia area, one at 175 Villa Rosa Road in Temple and 840 South Carroll Road in Villa Rica. Their latest addition to the area was their new construction project on South Carroll Road, which was a major improvement to the community, from the old facility being an old dirt road and portable office to a modern office and a sea of concrete. They also added to the communities largest RV covered parking, with 50 foot deep bins.

with the Georgia Arson Control to remind citizens about Fire Prevention Week. This is an important week to remember the preventative steps that community members can take. By reporting potential arson, you can help stop fires before they start. If you have information leading to the arrest and conviction of an arsonist, a reward is offered. The Georgia Arson Control Program, Inc. (GAC) was formed in January of 1979 by property and casualty insurers writing business in Georgia. GAC, with the cooperation of the Commissioner, Georgia Department of Insurance and Safety Fire, and state/local law enforcement agencies, established an Arson Hotline (1.800.282.5804). A reward fund was initiated from which monetary rewards are given to individuals who come forward with information that results in the arrest and conviction of arsonists.

Earlier this year, Douglas County was hit with hail that caused damage to numerous homes. Unfortunately, the storm attracted quite a few “storm chasers” to the area. A storm chaser is a term referring to roofing companies that literally “chase storms”, by temporarily setting up shop in an area, performing repairs and re-roofs, and then moving on to the next area that was hit. Sometimes, a roof is never repaired or replaced once the company collects a deposit – they just disappear. The problem facing many local homeowners now is trying to get some of these companies to come back and perform warranty work on roofs that were not properly installed or repaired. The owners of Assured Roofing and Construction and the Smyrna branch of ABC Supply Co., Inc. have decided to help one local homeowner by giving them a brand new free roof. To qualify, the homeowner must have been taken advantage of by one of these fraudulent companies. Assured

government NEWS & VIEWS FROM THE MAYOR Each month Douglasville’s Mayor, Harvey Persons writes a column about a subject which is of interest to many residents of Douglasville, and Douglas County. The city of Douglasville’s website is: www.ci.douglasville.ga.us.

A few months ago in this column, I reported to you on the start of work by City of Douglasville officials and a special group of citizens to undertake the first update of Douglasville’s Comprehensive Plan in ten years. In this column, I want to provide information concerning completion of the draft document of this community’s new 20 year Comprehensive Plan. DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. Currently, Douglasville’s draft Comprehensive Plan is being reviewed by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). If any revisions need to be made, this will occur during October so the actual plan can be filed with DCA before the October 31 deadline. (The Douglas County government is adhering to the same schedule, and there has been coordination between these two local governments over the past several months.) Douglasville and Douglas County have been assisted in their respective “plan preparation process” by staff members from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). ARC’s involvement certainly has facilitated the planning process’ coordination efforts, and ARC provided excellent staffing resources for research, writing, and organization of the Comprehensive Plan document. An update every ten years of a Georgia local government’s 20 year Comprehensive Plan is State required, and the 2013 update marks the third decade in which Douglasville has done this. And while some communities may not use their respective Comprehensive Plans once they have been

completed, we pay paid continuous attention to this document. It has been a valuable guide for Douglasville, in my opinion. STAKEHOLDERS GROUP. Before I talk about some specifics of the new plan, let me identify and thank those citizens who have contributed to development of the 2013 Comprehensive Plan as members of the Stakeholders Group. In alphabetical order, they are: Ken Barber, Barbara Caldwell, Rob Coats, Rick Denson, Karan Dones, Pete Frost, Tony Gonzalez, Rev. Keenan D. Hale, Susanne Hudson, Gordon Johnson, Charles Jones, Gary Miller, Mike Miller, Vicki Mitchell, Barry Oliver, Dot Padgett, Lula Parker, Elaine Pendley Sears, Richard Segal, John Sell, Nick Smith, Will Smith, John Stewart, Larry Toney, Jack Tysor, Greg Ursery, John Van Camp, and Gary Warner. Let me also thank the members of the City Council who have met over the past eight months with me, the members of the Stakeholders Group, the ARC staff representatives, and several City staff members to develop this draft plan. Finally, let me thank those citizens who provided input during the Comprehensive Plan’s August 14 Open House. KEY PARTS OF PLAN. Douglasville’s 2013 Comprehensive Plan contains three components which are required by the State of Georgia: a Community Vision, Community Issues and Opportunities, and a Community Work Program. In addition, the 2013 draft document includes the required Future Land Use Plan and a continuation of a Transportation Plan. The Stakeholders Group and those participating in the Open House focused on key assets of the City of Douglasville upon which the future can be built, as well key challenges expected to be faced by the City in the future. Identified as key assets were Downtown Douglasville, Arbor Place Mall, economic amenities and infrastructure, natural resources, location, medical services, higher education, senior services, the people, historic preservation, and technical education. Challenges included workforce development, an aging population, balanced growth and redevelopment, transportation, government coordination, and business development. VISION STATEMENT AND GOALS. Because the City of Douglasville adopted a Vision Statement some months ago, there was no reason to create a new statement. But just as the ARC writers thought it good to include the existing Vision Statement in the draft document, I think it should be included here. Here is our vision statement; and I have divided it into four parts, because the City’s goals are based on these four parts of this statement, as you can see below. “Douglasville is a unique blend of small town charm coupled with metropolitan amenities.” • Make downtown a central example of Douglasville’s small town and metropolitan fusion. • Build mixed use and infill developments that encourage walkability and a more urban, human scale environment. • Enhance our environment for business to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport area. • Continue to support a thriving regional shopping destination at Arbor Place Mall. • Redevelop key properties into sites offering metropolitan amenities. “We offer the ideal environment for startups and small businesses, providing high tech centers and Fortune 500 companies with the infrastructure for growth.”

government • Provide the physical infrastructure necessary for high tech and Fortune 500 companies to do business. • Ensure that high tech centers, startups, and small businesses can recruit from a local, highly skilled workforce. • Offer a variety of incentives to small businesses and startup companies to provide a stimulating environment for their growth and development. • Expand recruitment of companies with a regional or national influence. • Recruit tenants to fill existing vacancies in industrial parks, e.g., on Riverside Parkway. “The standard for southern living, Douglasville is the place where innovation meets opportunity.” • Promote historic resources, nature preserves, greenspace, and arts and culture. • Conserve elements of the environment that contribute to Douglasville’s southern small town atmosphere. • Promote a welcoming culture. “Dedicated to employees, pleasant and responsive to the community and committed to enhancing the quality of life for both visitors and residents alike, Douglasville is the premier city in the nation to live, work, play, and raise a family.” • Provide housing choices. • Maintain Douglasville’s reputation as a safe place to live and raise a family. • Increase mobility and transportation options. • Promote development that increases quality of life for all citizens. • Provide a nurturing environment that fosters youth achievement. • Provide high quality spaces for residents to play.

• Provide quality services for senior citizens. A FEW STATISTICS. As prepared by the ARC staff, the City’s Comprehensive Plan does not throw a lot of statistics at you. But let me point out: The largest segment of the City’s population is the 10 29 age group. In a diverse community, African Americans form the largest group of residents. The number of housing units in the City increased by 66.6 percent from 2000 2010. Some may be surprised to know that 16,568 people commute into Douglasville each day to work while only 9,561 people commute out of the City each day to work and the small number of 1,041 people actually live and work in Douglasville. Arbor Place Mall was 99.85 percent leased when this Comp Plan draft recently was prepared. ARC noted this is a higher lease rate than similar regional malls, identified as Town Center at Cobb, The Mall at Stonecrest, and Perimeter Mall. When the Tributary/New Manchester development located within the City of Douglasville adjacent to Sweetwater Creek State Park is completed, it will contain some 4,300 residential units. SHORT TERM WORK PROGRAM (STWP). As required by the State of Georgia, a local government’s Comprehensive Plan must include a five year update of its Short Term Work Program. Part of the STWP section presents a “list of accomplishments” for the period of 2009 2013. These are in the areas of: housing, natural resources, land use, economic development, transportation, recreation and open space, public utilities, and public facilities. TO SEE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. If you would like to look at the draft Comprehensive Plan (including the Short Term Work Program section) to review it, or to read it in detail you can do so by going to www. douglasvillega.gov.

In each classroom we visited, students were volunteering to dress up as members of our staff.

and given Rilee more chances to bring me birds if I would have a little help from some of these weapons. Although I write jokingly, to be in possession of such weapons generally one must hold a federal license. For definitions of these type weapons see O.C.G.A. Â§ 16-11-121. Even if you are licensed to possess such weapons identified above, you are still prohibited from using these weapons in the pursuit of wild game. In fact, O.C.G.A. Â§ 27-3-4, sets forth what weapons, which are permitted for hunting wildlife in Georgia. During primitive weapons season, Muzzleloading firearms of .44 caliber or larger and muzzleloading shotguns of 20 gauge or larger loaded with single shot may be used. Also during primitive weapons season, youth under the age of 16 may hunt deer with any firearm legal for hunting deer. During firearms season, firearms for hunting deer, bear, and feral hogs are limited to 20 gauge shotguns or larger shotguns with slugs or buckshot, Muzzleloading firearms of .44 caliber or larger, and center-fire firearms .22 caliber or larger. Additionally, bullets used in all center-fire rifles and handguns must be of the expanding type. So hunters cannot use full metal jacket bullets to hunt in Georgia. When hunting small game, weapons shall be limited to shotguns with shot shell size of no greater than 3 1/2 inches in length with No. 2 lead shot or smaller or federally approved nontoxic shot size of F or smaller shot, .22 caliber or smaller rim-fire firearms, air rifles, muzzleloading firearms, however, in addition to these weapons, any center-fire firearm of .17 caliber or larger may be used for hunting fox and bobcat. I have hunted in Georgia for many years and I have never been completely clear on the number of ammunition rounds a hunter may have when hunting game. When hunting with my automatic rifle (AR-15 or AR-10), I have always been cautious to use a five round magazine in an abundance of caution to comply with the law. However, I have learned that there is no Georgia law limiting the amount of ammunition a hunter may have in a rifle while hunting. A shot gun is a different story however. While hunting deer, bear or feral hogs with a shot gun a hunter may have five rounds in the magazine and chamber combined. For hunting all other game animals, shotguns shall be limited to a capacity to no more than three shells in the magazine and

Pet Set Pet Care Tip

Taking Care of a Dog with an Undercoat By Dixie Popham - Owner, Pet Set Grooming, 3313 Highway 5 Across from Publix, 770.949.0579 Dogs shed from their outer coats a bit year round, but those with an undercoat have the added bonus of also going through a full-blown shedding season in spring and fall. For most dogs, shedding season only comes twice a year, but some females who haven’t been fixed get to shed extra. If your female dog is one of the elite few, at around three or four years of age she’ll “blow her coat” each time she finishes a heat cycle. If your dog has an undercoat, you can do your part to ease the shedding problem. Brush him at least once a week, but as much as daily during shedding season. The line brushing method is useful for dogs with undercoats. It removes loose hairs and mats from the undercoat without pulling or tugging on your dog and is done by brushing your dog’s hair in a line down his entire body, a section at a time. More frequent bathing during shedding season helps too. One bath a week while your dog is in the process of losing his undercoat washes away loose hairs. For a dog without an undercoat, any old brush might work just fine for a grooming session. But if your dog has an undercoat, arm yourself with the right tools to keep undercoat shedding under control. Slicker brushes are useful for dense and longer hair because they brush the outer coat while still getting down to the undercoat. If your dog has short hair, a rubber brush with soft, tapered cone-shaped teeth should work well to keep him groomed while removing loose undercoat hairs.

Halloween Safety Tips By Debra Y. Milton, Four Paws Pet-Sitting Service, 678.838.PAWS (7297) Keep pets inside away from all Halloween activities. In particular, keep black cats indoors as they may be the target of pranksters. Make sure that all pets are wearing collars with current ID in case one should escape while you are handing out candy. Remember, candy can be highly toxic to your pets so keep it away from them. Sit down and discuss this with your children so they will know not to “share” their goodies with the family pets. Refrain from taking the family pets along with the kids as they treat or treat. Loud noises or costumes may frighten the pets and they may become lost or the pet may be injured or possibly bite someone out of fear.

sports & fitness Lex Luger’s Story of Redemption Book review by Dylan Collins Let me preface this review by saying that I was slightly dreading reading the recently released, Wrestling With the Devil, by Lex Luger. I thought it was going to be one of those autobiographies that doesn’t really talk about sports, makes the author out to be a superhero and sounds ‘preachy’. So when I sat down to read it, I was sure it was going to be a chore. It wasn’t. Lex Luger talked about his life without pulling any punches. I never got the sense that he was trying to puff out his chest and it was so brutally honest, I really started to root for the guy to win. It took me back to when I was a teenager and was rooting for him in the ring. For a long-time wrestling fan, he supplied exactly what I came to see. The majority of this book is about his trials and tribulations in the professional wrestling industry and I was fascinated by his insight into what goes on behind the scenes, and what makes it tick. I’ve read a fair amount of wrestling biographies, and this book, the one that I assumed was going to be really preachy, was one of the top two that I have ever read about the sport itself. From his account of the time he was supposed to body slam Yokozuna,

GOLF IS JUST BETTER HERE

a 589 pound sumo wrestler, while wearing cowboy boots and not being able to get his footing, to the time Vince McMahon made him tuna fish sandwiches, his stories of the NWO glory days, riding with the legendary Four Horsemen, and the tragic death of one of wrestling’s first ladies, Miss Elizabeth, I was genuinely riveted. I found this book to be a page-turner. Each night as I would sit down, I would say to myself that I was only going to read 20 pages, and it almost never failed that I would lose track of time, because I was so invested in the book. When the subject did turn to his faith, it was also not what I expected. It was an honest account of him almost dying several times, being thrown in jail, and having one horrible thing after another happen to him. He never plays the victim and he never looks for sympathy. He acknowledges that most of the things that happened to him were his own fault, but man, this guy had a rough life. He writes about his struggle to come to God and his reluctance to believe. Lex Luger talks about his shortcomings as an athlete, as a husband, and as a human being. He talks about his past failures without flinching. His story of being pulled out of all of the messes he made of his life is truly inspiring, and I honestly got a little teary-eyed when he wrote about giving his first testimony. This is one of the best biographies I have ever read and it is one of the most inspiring stories that I have ever come across. If you’re not a very religious person, but are fans of the 80’s and 90’s era of professional wrestling, do not let the title of the book put you off. It’s well worth a read. If you are a Christian, I think you will also get something out of this inspiring story of a man at his absolute lowest point, struggling to find a meaning in life, and his eventual redemption. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Wrestling with the Devil is published by Tyndale Momentum, ISBN-10: 1414378726, ISBN-13: 978-1414378725. It can be found online through Amazon and other booksellers. You can also pick up a copy from Douglasville Books, located at 7191 Douglas Boulevard.

Douglas County Boys & Girls Club 2nd Annual Clay Shoot The Douglas County Boys & Girls Club is inviting young and old to come out to the Foxhall Resort and Sporting Club on November 9, starting at 9am. 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 this year’s senior 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. Many sponsorships are available. If you would simply like to come out and be a part of this great event, four-person team prices are $500 or $125 for an individual shooter. All shooters will receive breakfast and lunch that day. 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. Whether a seasoned, expert marksman or a novice who doesn’t know one end of a shotgun from the other, this clay shoot is an exciting way to spend a Saturday out in the crisp fall fresh air. Please contact Mike Stephens at 770.308.1269 or Tracie Ivey at 770.920.7129 to sign up.

Importance of Sleep and How to Get It By Rebecca S. Blakeman, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist - Adolescent Child Specialty Services, 4935 Stewart Mill Road, Douglasville, 404.310.1161, rblakemanphd@yahoo.com

Sleep deprivation is something most people have experienced at one time or another in their life, sometimes by choice (e.g., staying up all night to study for an exam, staying up all night to ‘hit the town’ with friends), but often times when we are desperate for sleep. The importance of getting restorative sleep cannot be underestimated. When we do not get proper sleep, we experience changes in our mood, mental alertness, problem solving, memory and ability to learn new information. While it is common for individuals to seek medication for resolving sleep difficulties, research has shown that non-medication strategies are often superior to medication, with little or no negative side effects. If you or your child are having sleep difficulties, it is important to practice good sleep hygiene, or good sleep habits. First and foremost, remove all TVs, phones, computers and video games from the bedroom; use the bed for sleep only, and do not engage in mentally stimulating activities at or near bedtime. Next, it is important to set a schedule for when to be in bed. Go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time each day; it may take 45 to 90 days to reset the body’s clock, and it is important to be consistent with this schedule. Because our brain uses light to regulate sleep and wake cycles, be sure to turn on lights in the morning, open blinds to let sun in, etc. Likewise, be sure to dim lights as it is approaching bedtime, and as much as possible block light from entering the bedroom when it is time for sleep. For many individuals, it is difficult to go to sleep because they cannot ‘turn off’ their thoughts. While it sounds nice to simply say, “Don’t think about things when you go to bed,” the truth is that our mind will wander to what stresses, or even excites, us if we do not give it something else to do. There are a variety of strategies for avoiding stimulating thoughts. For some individuals, singing a slow, repetitive song or chorus in their mind can soothe them to sleep. While ‘counting sheep’ has long been advised as a method for getting to sleep, in reality it is too simple of a task for the brain. Instead, perform a more challenging, yet mundane, mental task, such as counting backward from 300 by 3s, reciting the alphabet backward, or reciting the alphabet by naming the first letterlast letter-second letter-next to last letter, etc. If you find your thoughts wandering to your anxiety thoughts, simply start over. It is also important to not become upset or stressed by having a poor night of sleep. Remember that it is normal to wake up during the night, and even if you do not go back to sleep, it does not mean that your next day will be ruined. Do not focus on how many more hours of sleep are available…keep your mind focused on those mundane, repetitive mental exercises to lull yourself back to sleep. Finally, it is important to make sure that there are not medical causes for your sleep difficulties, such as sleep apnea or medication side effects. If you are struggling with sleep, talk to your doctor and be sure to emphasize good sleep hygiene.

Orientation for New Foster Parents The Douglas County Family and Children Services Orientation for new foster parents meets at 6pm the third Thursday of every month at 8473 Duralee Lane in Douglasville. Interested families are invited to attend. Foster care is intended to be a temporary home away from home while the agency works with the child’s family to eliminate or minimize the safety issues that caused agency involvement.

children & education Event promotes benefits of mentoring For those wondering what it takes to be a mentor in Douglas County, the MATCH mentor kickoff breakfast held August 29 helped fill them in. Douglas County School System employees and school board members, along with seasoned and potential mentors, gathered at the GreyStone Power auditorium for the event. “Our theme this year is ‘mentoring works.’ This kickoff gives us the opportunity to bring returning mentors back and allow potential mentors to learn more about the program,” said Mitzi Teal, Executive Director of Communities In Schools of Douglas County, Inc. Teal introduced the event’s keynote speaker, Dr. Susan G. Weinberger, and praised her for supporting Douglas County’s mentoring program. “Our mentoring program has very solid best practices and training materials thanks to Dr. Weinberger,” Teal said. Dr. Weinberger encouraged mentors to advocate for their mentees, and she challenged mentoring programs to provide opportunities for youth in poverty to receive all the resources they need to “break the cycle of poverty.” She also stressed the correlation between mentoring programs and increased high school graduation rates. “Keeping youth in school through high school graduation should be the number one goal of mentoring programs,” Dr. Weinberger remarked. She cited research that identifies attendance as one of the three primary predictors of whether a student will drop out of school. “Evidence suggests that developing a close relationship with a mentor leads to better academic outcomes for students,” she added.

children & education Three Generations Receive GED from WGTC There is a special bond among a grandmother, mother and daughter, but for Jerrie Shackelford, Melanie Hamrick and Shannon Noles their bond is bit more unique. These three generations of women began and completed the GED program at the Carroll Campus of West Georgia Technical College together. “Adult education can help change the lives of families and their futures,” said West Georgia Technical College President Dr. Skip Sullivan. “We congratulate Jerrie, Melanie and Shannon on their accomplishments.” When Shackelford was laid off from her contract position, she thought it was the perfect opportunity to go back to school. Hamrick was also contemplating another try at getting her GED. “I didn’t feel like I could do it so I ended up quitting school,” said Hamrick of her previous GED attempt. While her grandmother and mother had made the decision to get their

I got that, I knew I could do this.” In just nine short weeks, all three women received their GEDs and new goals for their future. They are each looking forward to pursuing the next step of their education at West Georgia Technical College Shackelford plans to pursue a Radiologic Technology degree, Hamrick is deciding between the Clinical Laboratory Technology or Dental Assisting programs and Noles looks forward to pursuing an Associate Degree in Nursing. Despite their personal hardships, all three women agreed that the pursuit of higher education was worth it and credited their instructor, Andrea Swann, for their success. “I really enjoyed West Georgia Technical College. It was an enjoyable experience,” said Shackelford. “I had a wonderful teacher. If it wasn’t for Andrea, I probably wouldn’t have finished.” “I hope that this will show others that age is not a barrier. They supported each other, leaned on each other and encouraged one another,” said Adult Education instructor Andrea Swann. “They completed the program in such a short amount of time. I hope people will realize that college is an attainable goal that can happen sooner than they realize.” West Georgia Technical College, with campuses in Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Haralson and Troup counties and additional class sites in Heard and Meriwether counties, offers over 115 associate degree, diploma and technical certificate programs of study. A unit of the Technical College System of Georgia, West Georgia Tech is the third largest of the state’s 25 technical colleges and one of the fastest-growing two-year colleges in the nation.

children & education Character Word

Respect for Authority By Ann Jones Guider, Community Character Coalition of Douglas County If you ask a group of people if they like having someone tell them what they can and cannot do, I would venture to say that all would answer “no”. The fact is, in our culture today, you rarely find anyone who likes to be subjected to someone else with the exception of those in the military service, where soldiers are taught to obey those over them. Whether it is your parents, your teachers, your boss, your elders, or your government, most people resent authority over them and often turn to complaining, back-biting, gossiping,

authority.” “Do what I say, not what I do” is something we have all heard at some point in our life and have even stated to others at another point in our life. The Bible says in Romans 13:1, “Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.” Have you ever stopped to realize authority was God’s idea in the first place? If our Creator believes people should answer to some authority, we too should realize it’s important and accept it as a good thing. Of course, the best place to learn respect for authority is within the family. Children need to be taught to respect and obey their parents, so when they grow up and leave home, they will carry that character trait throughout their lives. Too often we want to be our child’s friend instead of their parent, but a child needs guidance, loving discipline,

medical directory & guide WellStar Named One Of America’s Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces WellStar Health System ranked number one in the healthcare industry and in the top 100 of all companies on the 2013 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces List, released by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. This is the third time WellStar has been named to the Foundation’s prestigious list. WellStar offers its full-time employees 120 hours and eligible part-time employees 60 hours of paid maternity/paternity leave, per adoption. WellStar also offers employees $20,000 of adoption assistance (lifetime maximum). Additionally, WellStar offers job-protected time off for 36 weeks, which is 24 weeks beyond Family Medical Leave Act requirements. “Recruiting and retaining our exceptional team members are vital to WellStar’s vision of providing world-class healthcare, as is our commitment to making WellStar a great place to work,” said David Anderson, WellStar’s executive vice president, human resources, organizational learning and chief compliance officer. “Offering our team members exceptional benefits like these allows them to have a fulfilling personal and professional life.” Every year the Foundation announces America’s top 100 adoptionfriendly employers, the top 10 by size, and the leaders in each industry from its annual survey of U.S. employers. Rankings are determined by an analysis of a company’s adoption benefits, including the maximum amount of financial reimbursement and paid leave for families who adopt.

And family-friendly work environments create strong and loyal workforces.” The list recognizes organizations of every size and industry that offer adoption benefits. Employers who applied for the list offer an average of $7,000 and four weeks of paid leave. Financial reimbursement varies from $500 to $25,300, and one to 18 weeks of paid leave. Unpaid leave for adoption, beyond what is required by the Family and Medical Leave Act, ranges from one week to three years. There are more than 100,000 children in the U.S. foster care system waiting to be adopted. Every year, more than 26,000 children in foster care turn 18 and age out of the system without families. The seventh annual Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces list helps increase foster care adoption awareness while celebrating businesses that support adoptive families. If your organization does not offer adoption benefits, order the Foundation’s free kit that makes it easy to propose and establish a policy in your workplace.

business Marketplace Ministry Tip By Rob Streetman, inLight Consulting, www.inLightConsulting.com, rob@inlightconsulting.com Fear is something we do not like to talk, or even think, about – particularly in business. Why? Because we have been taught that to do so is a sign of weakness. This is a narrow and deceptive perspective. Why? Because hiding fear does not make it go away; it only drives it into our subconscious mind where we are even less likely to deal with it properly. Refusing to consider the fear in our lives has another, perhaps more profound, impact on our success in life and business. In our attempts to suppress the fear that cripples us, we inevitably suppress the fear that promises to empower us for success. That’s right: There is a fear that is good for us.

professional and personal lives. There is a good and a bad fear. Jesus put it this way: 4 “And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him! - Luke 12:4-5 There are things and beings we should fear, and those that we should not. Fear can empower us and fear can paralyze us. In either case, fear must be considered if we are to benefit from it (the right fear), or deal with it appropriately (the wrong fear). So, how should you deal with the fears that don’t belong? For the Christian, it is really quite simple. Fears are like little dogs with big barks. Behind every fear there is a lie. Deal with the lie, and the fear will fly. Marketplace Ministry Tip: Ungodly fear can be a great tutor in the

Community Programs The Door and The Men’s Assessment Center This outreach program is a part of Crossroads for Life Ministries. These programs focus on helping homeless men put their lives back on track and take their rightful place in society. The Door is a 24-month transitional housing program which provides housing, case management, assistance with personal needs, life skills classes, financial management, and employability skills. The Men’s Assessment Center has a triage approach in assessing the immediate needs of homeless men who require temporary shelter. Donations are always accepted. • 678.324.7950

“Neighbors Helping Neighbors” Once completed this chain will have 20,000 links, one for each of the 20,000 children who die every day from hunger and preventable diseases. Why so many? For some families, the only food they have is whatever they can grow themselves. One drought can wipe out a year’s harvest. When it does, there’s no supermarket or food bank they can turn to. Others can barely afford food despite their best efforts. But world hunger is 100% preventable, and teens from First Presbyterian Church of Douglasville are ready to help. In October, they will set aside the usual “stuff” that fills their daily lives. Instead, they will do World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine by going without food, and getting a taste of what the world’s poorest children and families face every day. Prior to the event weekend, the teens are raising funds with a goal of $10,000. Funds raised by 30 Hour Famine participants will be used to provide food and run malnutrition-recovery centers. It will also be used to teach improved farming techniques, improve access to clean water, and help children get critical medical care. A portion of funds raised assist families in need in the United States. FPC youth are asking for you to join them by offering your prayers and donations.
