dining Winners of the 17th Annual Chili Cook Off

our panel of celebrity judges – Jerry Frost, Marge Frost, Josh Gibson, John Sell and Mike Tuttle – deliberated with great care while judging which of the 25 chili cookers would be awarded the coveted “Best Tasting” prize.

This year’s award was presented to first-timer Carole Parks Catering for their delectable barbecue chili served with macaroni and cheese; City Council candidate Mike Miller placed second with a delicious hearty chili; and another popular first-timer West Georgia Technical College’s Culinary Arts Institute team led by chef Stephanie Pavich Adams took third place for its excellent bourbon cocoa flavored chili.

CAC Board members Jerry Leath, Linda Britt and Marcita Scharnhorst were assisted by The Patch’s John Barker in judging the “Best Decorated Booth” competition with top honors also going to Carole Parks Catering for their beautiful candle-lit and spider web draped haunted house booth; second place was awarded to the elegant black and silver booth, shared

by Mayor Harvey Persons and his wife Sherrie with County Chairman

The Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville/Douglas County is pleased to announce the winners of the 17th Annual Chili Cook Off on O’Neal Plaza in historic Downtown Douglasville, on Saturday, October 19th. This year the popular annual fundraiser was attended by more than 4,000 participants, slightly more than last year. The event was held in conjunction with the Douglasville Rogue Runners Moonlight Run and following a new fundraising event, “Pedal for your Palate,” a bike race supporting the Food Pantry and presented by the Douglasville Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Coordinated by former CAC Board President Allen Culpepper with assistance from CAC staffers Cristhtian Perez Molina and Whitney House,

Tom Worthan and his wife Linda; and third to City Councilman Dennis McClain’s Halloween classic booth. A frequent prize-winner Douglas County Coroner Randy Daniel won the highly competitive award of “Most Sold” again this year with Carole Parks Catering in second place and first-time competitor West Georgia Technical College’s Culinary Arts Institute taking third.

The Children’s Halloween Costume Contest, coordinated by CAC office manager Chris O’Shaunnessy, proved more popular than ever, and our panel of judges –CAC Board member and Arts Education Committee Co-Chair June Keen, Presenting Sponsor Stephanie Bleakley, and Douglasville’s first lady, Sherrie Persons – faced tough decisions in awarding prizes for most creative costuming, but every child was a winner at the 2013 Chili Cookoff! Prizes were awarded in three age groups: for the kindergarteners and younger, the prize-winner was Kaitlyn Bishop who came as “Dorothy” from the Wizard of Oz, for elementary school students, Erin Boggs appeared as a “lady police officer,” and for middle and high school students, Alex Worrell was the stand-out as Monster High’s “Skelita.”

The proceeds from this sold-out family fun event benefit the Cultural Arts Council and its educational outreach programming including arts in after school initiative, artists in our schools program, and spring and summer art camps; the monthly exhibition program at the Cultural Arts Center; and the CAC’s popular free spring and fall concerts series, also presented on O’Neal Plaza in Douglasville’s historic downtown.

Author Defines Bravery in Children’s Book In her new children’s book, “Character Cats: Tyler and the Tree of Courage,” Douglasville author Caroline Graham tells a story that hallmarks the true meaning of bravery.

The story takes place on Character Island, where young cats meet new friends and learn all about what it takes to be a Character Cat. All Tyler has ever wanted to do is visit Character Island and learn to climb the tall trees.

But when he gets to the top, Tyler realizes there is more to courage than doing brave things. Readers will join Tyler as he learns about the true meaning of courage and many other important traits in “Character Cats: Tyler and the Tree of Courage.”

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

Graham is a school counselor with experience in both elementary and middle school, and is a single parent of two wonderful boys. Graham has also written “RTI: Simplified: A School Counselor’s Guide to Response to Intervention” and “Good Character” to simplify the sometimes-difficult process of the federal mandate of response to intervention.

Annual Holiday Card Design Competition at the Cultural Arts Center The Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville/Douglas County presents more than 129 holiday card designs created by elementary, middle and high school students from 20 Douglas County Schools in its annual competition. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, December 5th, from 5 until 6:30pm for participating students, teachers and their families. Former Douglas County Schools music specialist, and music teacher at the Cultural Arts Center, Nancy Whittenburger will play Christmas carols and seasonal music on the piano during the festivities.

This event is free and open to the general public. The Annual Holiday Card Design Competition and the Festival of Trees is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Douglas County.

The designs of students from New Manchester Elementary and Winston Elementary Schools, Turner Middle School and New Manchester High School were selected to be reproduced as holiday cards in full color for the first time this year. The winners of the annual holiday card competition are: Annie Barker (2nd grade, Winston Elementary; Ms. Antonovich, art teacher); Tatiana Serrano (4th grade, New Manchester Elementary; Ms. Ernst, art teacher); Itzel Varga (8th grade, Turner Middle School; Mr. Jordan, art teacher); and Laetitia Auguste (11th grade, New Manchester High School; Ms. Houlihan). Their prize-winning printed cards will be available for sale at the Cultural Arts Center.

“We are delighted with the quality of the designs entered this year, and it was very hard to pick only four artworks to be printed as our winners,” commented Allen Culpepper, CAC Gallery Committee Chair. “In fact, we want everyone to know that every student in this show is a winner – they were selected to represent their schools, and they should be very proud of themselves. We sure are proud of them!”

CAC Board member and the Douglas County Extension Office’s 4-H coordinator Jeremy Cheney helped to organize the annual Festival of Trees this year. Douglas County Schools fine arts teachers decided that the 2013 theme would be “Famous Artists and Art Movements from History;” and trees decorated by 15 schools and youth groups will be on

arts & entertainment Video Game Review

By Chadd Franklin, visit his website: chaddstournamentfuntime.com Hello Gaming Community! This month I am reviewing Call Of Duty: Ghosts for the Playstation 3. The game has several game modes, but starts with Campaign, Multiplayer, and Squads and Extinction gets unlocked eventually. The Campaign is solid and looks phenomenal. Another mode is Squads. In this mode you play against computer AI controlled teams in order to better learn the game and get prepared for online play. Extinction is the new Zombies Mode, except you fight Aliens. It’s good, but let’s be honest - the mode most of us will be playing is Multiplayer and it has ten Modes within itself: Team Deathnatch, Cranked, Blitz, Search and Rescue, Infected,

Kill

Confirmed,

Domination,

Hunted, Free-For-All, and Team Tactical.

Players can customize their own soldiers, make a clan and have their friends join as long as they make a Call of Duty account (my tag is dbz9410 on Playstation Network and my clan is dbz39) and the game also has local play and a LAN party. The controls are decent on the PS3 and even after years of playing on the 360 were surprising with other COD games. This game is good and I think should be purchased, even though some hardcore COD players may not like some of the newer changes. It gets a 4 out of 5.

Photography Tips Capturing Christmas

By Mandie Newsom, owner of Captured, by Mandie Newsom, www.mandienewsom.com, 770.570.9247

One simple piece of advice I’d like to offer you for the month of December don’t make them pose. Photograph your loved ones enjoying the holiday and being present in the moment: opening gifts, making cookies, hanging decorations, snuggled up watching Christmas movies, etc.

Photograph the moments you want to remember and focus on capturing relationships and love. And, don’t forget the pets! In keeping with our photo challenge to close out the

year, here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing: • Lights - trying turning the flash off and cranking the ISO up to create a beautiful glowing image • Stockings - photograph the ones on the mantle and cute Christmas socks covering little (or big) feet!

• Giving - as we remember and celebrate the birth of the One who gave us the greatest gift of all, let’s think of ways we can give to others.

• Vintage - pull out those handmade ornaments and old toys from many Christmases ago, and take a picture!

• Treats - you might as well document all the yummy goodness that you and your family cook up for the holiday. Also, don’t forget your pets love their treats too!

As always, continue to email me your favorite images. I enjoy your photos so much!

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you. May God richly bless you and yours in the New Year!

Nursing Homes & the Holidays

By Melissa Murphy, Administrator at Pine Knoll Nursing & Rehab Center, Carrollton, 770.832.8243, mmurphy@cypresshealthgroup.com The holidays arrive with more haste each year it seems, and with it, the “busy” season. Many of you, especially those with families, are doing extra shopping, cooking and school activities, navigating a much more packed schedule than usual.

It has been my observation through my years working in long-term care that one important thing residents miss is being “busy”. Think about it. When you are busy, it means you have lots to do and if there is a lot to do, then you must be an important part of something. What if you had nothing to do? What if you were physically unable to do so much as sweep a floor? Would you feel needed or important?

This is what residents in a care setting go through every day. Residents look back over their lives and remember the days when they, too were

tertainment as a minor bonus. What the elderly need is to feel important, needed. Families can do this by including the elderly in plans for the future, giving them small tasks to do, such as compiling a Christmas card list or a shopping list. Ask for recipes or cooking advice. Have children and grandchildren call them on the phone or visit to ask for advice about school or friendships.

Another way to make the elderly feel important and needed is to build time into your schedule to visit. You can take the elderly person out for a meal or just a ride through the country to see the sights. Have them point out landmarks and relay how the landscape has changed through the years. Have schoolchildren interview them for a project, either for a real grade or just for fun. Also, send mail. Mail is a small, inexpensive way to brighten a day and to make someone feel remembered and important.

You can check with the Activities Department and see what projects may be coming up that you might could volunteer a little time or materials to help with. If you have any musical talent, our residents would love to hear

and ask for a room. Often, he seems curt, almost rude, implying that he has a successful business to run and, thus, resents being interrupted by people with a problem. Sometimes the innkeeper sounds almost gentle when he says, “I’m sorry. I have no more rooms.”

While we don’t know exactly what attitudes and actions characterized Mary, Joseph, the Wise Men and the shepherds, we can infer them from Scripture. However, since we know nothing about the innkeeper, his reactions are anybody’s guess. That’s one reason I wonder about his role during the birth of Christ.

community I also wish I knew the reactions of the guests in the inn. Did they know about the young couple who needed shelter? If so, why didn’t they offer to give up, or at least share, their room? Surely the female guests could identify with Mary’s obvious need for a comfortable place to rest.

My questions about the innkeeper and his guests will have to go unanswered—for now. Though I’d very much like to know about their attitudes and actions, I shouldn’t focus too much of my attention on them.

Instead, I need to ask myself, Do I have room in my life for Jesus? If not, am I willing to make room?

Those questions are of utmost importance. If I answer negatively, I will miss out on the most significant opportunity ever given me, as did the innkeeper and his guests. If I refuse to make room for the Son of God, I, too, will deprive myself of undergoing a life-changing experience.

If I answer affirmatively and kneel before Him, I will feel the wonder and the joy of being in the very presence of God, as did the Wise Men and the shepherds.

Whether or not I will make room for Him remains my decision. Just as God did not force the innkeeper and the guests to make room for His Son, neither will He force me to make a place in my life for Jesus. However, God will offer me the privilege of sharing myself and my possessions with the Christ child who is now the Savior of the world.

The club also helps support the Georgia Camp For The Blind in Waycross, that services visually impaired children and adults ages six and up, and the White Cane campaign.

Melvin Jones founded the Lions Club in 1917. The focus on work for the blind and visually impaired began when Helen Keller addressed the International Convention at Cedar Point, Ohio, on June 30, 1925 and charged Lions to be Knights of the Blind. The Lions have raised more than $415 million since 1990 to support the SightFirst program, which has saved the eyesight of millions of people worldwide.

There are now over 45,500 clubs and more than 1,368,683 members in 205 countries helping millions of people around the world through many crises, and daily needs. Their mission is to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.

For more information, you may visit a meeting at Logan’s Roadhouse on the first Wednesday of every month at noon and/or the third Thursday of every month at 6pm. You may also visit www.lionsclub.org.

The Family Connection Advent Calendars

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

Advent calendars are an important tradition in some families and for others it’s something that’s never really been tried. Growing up, my family didn’t really use one. My son has enjoyed a Lego Advent Calendar the last few years. It counts down the days to Christmas, but of course, it has no other spiritual element. My sister has four children, so the Lego Advent Calendar I bought for them to share last year was more a source of sibling squabbling, then a reminder of the impending birth of our Savior. Last week, I started thinking about what I could do to make them an advent calendar this year. I started searching the internet and found some great ideas.

Pinterest has tons of great ideas to get your creative juices flowing on how to make a beautiful advent calendar. From simple to elaborate, there’s probably an idea that will work for just about everyone. It can even be as simple as small paper bags, numbered with a marker and sealed with a Christmas sticker. These are ones you can create and re-use year after year.

Numbered little boxes, muslin bags or fabric wall hangings with pockets can be re-filled with different treats each year or you can create a set of 25 items that are re-used each year, depending on the tradition you want to create.

I decided that each day should include a scripture verse. I started searching for a collection of verses and found several websites with lists. Daily scriptures for Advent can be found at www.catholic.org or www.focusonthefamily.com, to name just two sources. If you would like a set of pre-designed scripture cards you can print, check out www.1dogwoof.com and search for “Scripture Advent Calendar”. At www.sweeteritis.blogspot.com, there is a great tutorial on creating an “Advent Calendar to Teach the True Meaning of Christmas”. It includes a scripture for each day, as well as an item that reinforces the verse and theme of the day.

As I pondered what treats I could put into each day, I thought about including a few challenges too. I’m thinking a challenge a week would work, so I’m going to include: make a Christmas ornament to give to someone you appreciate; write a thank you note and mail it to someone who has made an impact on your life; make some Christmas cookies (or other edible treat) and deliver them to someone who might be lonely this year; and take time this week to tell each person in your family why he or she is special to you. At www.espressoandcream.com, there is a list of “25 Christmas Challenges”. There are ideas on that list that you could challenge yourself with or you could adapt as challenges for your children or your whole family.

The kids I’ll be making these calendars for range from four to 14 yearsold, so I’ll be adapting these ideas to fit their ages. If a daily calendar seems like too big of a project or if your December is already flying by, try having a Scripture reading, treat or challenge once a week. You could celebrate the “12 Days of Christmas” and start out your Advent remembrance on the 14th instead.

Your Health High Heels Can Aggravate Back Pain

By Dr. Awais Butt, Planet Chiropractic, 2173 Fairburn Road, 770.783.1799, myplanetchiro.com, mychiro@myplanetchiro.com

Recent research from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) shows that more than 116 million Americans are suffering with chronic pain. That basically says that one out of three in our community are suffering and have been suffering for a while. With this sad and alarming statistic, it is a must to look for and avoid situations that will have a negative effect on your spine. A spine that is structurally within the normal limit is straight from the front and has three curves from the side. The curves are in the neck, mid back and lower back. The normal curve in the neck also causes a person’s head to be positioned over their shoulders. The head positioning can be observed from the side, as the person’s ear and top of the shoulder should be aligned.

The normal alignment of the spine develops as the baby starts to grow inside the mother. Research shows that a newborn baby should have the proper spinal positioning from birth. The proper structure of the spine is as important as the foundation under a house, the alignment of your car, etc. If these structures are not in the proper position, then those objects will start deteriorating and become permanently damaged. The same is happening with a person that has structural abnormalities in their spine. Some of the major secondary conditions caused by a spine that is not aligned

properly include degenerative arthritis, pains, pinched nerves, and muscle spasms. If a structural abnormality is already present from previous stress or traumas, then the hyperlordosis that is made worse from high-heels will have multiple effects. Some of these include: facet glide with probable facet syndrome, nerve root compression within the neuro-foramen (pinched nerves), further disc stress and degeneration, and possible increase in disc herniation or bulging. It can also contribute to or aggravate sciatica and piriformis syndrome.

It is risky to wear high-heels and even down-right destructive if you already have structural abnormalities. This is more probable if you wear high heels on a frequent basis.

If you’re not sure if high heels cause back pain in your particular case, the sound advice to follow would be to listen to your body. If pain is increased with high heel use or you feel more back pain the next day or so after use, then it would be prudent to avoid wearing high-heeled shoes. If your lower back pain seems aggravated by the use of high heels, a negative heel shoe, also known as an earth shoe, may be beneficial and should be tried as a possible remedy.

Using negative heeled shoes alone will probably not cure your lower back condition, but it could go a long way in helping you manage it. Other steps include being checked and analyzed by a chiropractor.

Whether, your high heels and lower back pain go together or not, highheels do and will put your lower back in an abnormal posture and alignment. This will aggravate an existing lower back pain problem.

Nail Care Pointers

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

Biotin Helps Brittle Nail Syndrome If you suffer from brittle nails that tend to split, peel, and crack, know that you’re not alone. According to dermatologists 20% of women suffer from brittle nail syndrome (also referred to as onychoshizia).

Brittle nails are sometimes linked to internal health conditions such as hypothyroidism and menopause. Medications used to treat high blood pressure can also cause brittle nails, as can deficiencies in iron and vitamins A, C, and B6. The condition also sometimes accompanies skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis.

Brittle nail syndrome occurs when the nail plate is unable to maintain moisture and becomes dehydrated. Brittle nails can occur at any age but is more common in older women. Both the skin and the nails become drier with age.

Polish is more likely to chip if you suffer from brittle nail syndrome. If you are on a nail recovery program you should apply a strengthener daily along with cuticle oil and lotion. Brittle nail sufferers need to keep their nails trimmed short and use a crystal (glass) file that will seal and protect the free edge of the nails.

External factors also cause brittle nails, such as excessive “wet work”.

Excess use of soap and water with strong chemicals or detergents can also cause brittleness. Wearing gloves will minimize exposure. If the fingernails split but the toenails are strong, that’s a clue that an external factor is the cause and not an internal deficiency, disease or disorder.

Unfortunately, many women develop very thin, brittle, peeling nails from long-term use of acrylic nail enhancements. Wearing acrylic artificial enhancements without allowing a “rest” or “recovery” period can often result in damage to the nail matrix (nail growth center). Artificial acrylic

CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS

enhancements should be professionally removed through a soaking method periodically in order to allow the natural nails to recover. A good rule of thumb when wearing enhancements is 2-1/2 months on and 2-1/2 months off.

Biotin is a supplement found to improve brittle nail syndrome. Biotin was first used to treat the cracked hooves of thoroughbred racehorses in the 1980s. It proved so successful that Swiss researchers tested the theory on women. Researchers found that the thickness of the nails of women who took daily Biotin supplements increased as much as 25% and that they also experienced less splitting.

Biotin is naturally found in eggs, organ meats, legumes, cauliflower, broccoli, and mushrooms. Researchers have proved that Biotin supplements are effective in repairing both women’s brittle nails and horses cracked hooves with no known side effects.

While there’s no complete cure for brittle nails, there are steps to protect them and promote healthier growth. In an otherwise healthy individual, brittle nail syndrome can be treated by applying cuticle oil, lotion, Fluoride treatments, strengthener and daily oral Biotin supplements. If you suffer from brittle nail syndrome, you should begin a recovery program under the regular care of a professional licensed nail technician.

As you read this the Christmas season is in full swing and it has been a month since I encouraged you to “put your house on a diet”, so I’m curious… how’s that going? Did you just read the article and put it aside or did you take it to heart and start implementing some kind of strategy to eliminate the excess clutter in your life?

At the end of the day, clutter is simply postponed decisions. You pick something up and don’t know what to do with it, so you ‘put it here for now’ then tomorrow you add something else and the next day something else.

Before you know it, you have a week’s worth of laundry piled on a chair or a month’s worth of mail stacked on a counter and the task becomes daunting so it’s easier to ignore than to deal with it...so you end up with clutter!

One of the ways you can keep this from happening is to spend 15 to 30 minutes at the end of the day doing a general pick up! Get the kids involved, set a timer and have everyone pick up all items that belong to them that have been misplaced over the course of the day and return them to their

The year is coming to a close, so I just wanted to take a minute and tell you how much I appreciate you taking time from your busy schedule every month to read this article. I know sometimes it seems like I keep harping on you to let go of the excess, but it’s because I see how clutter affects your lives.

And, not only do I see it in the lives of my clients, but my own life as well!

Yes, it happens to professionals too! When I over-commit and allow things in my own life to get disorganized, it affects every area of my life, from not having time to prepare healthy meals to my relationships with people. So, sometimes when it feels like I am on your case, remember, I preached to the choir first!

Winterizing Your Landscaping

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

With all the hustle and bustle that fills our days from Thanksgiving until the New Year, take a moment to evaluate your landscape to see if you have properly put it to bed for the winter. I know with all the leaves quickly falling out of the trees it may seem like a bit of a chore, but putting in the hard work now can ensure a vigorous, healthy landscape come spring. To make things a bit easier, why not enlist the entire family; some of my best memories were built around a pile of leaves. Yet another daunting part of leaf removal is what to do with all the debris. Here you have some choice into just how much or how few leaves you remove. The leaves that you remove from your lawn can be moved to a compost pile that will serve you well during the spring planting season, they can be used in your bed areas to cover bare soil or depending on your municipalities’ ordinances, bagged and left on the curb. Burning of leaf litter can be a dangerous activity and should only be done during authorized times of the year and under extremely safe circumstances, make sure you check with your local fire department to find out the proper regulations and procedures to follow*.

If you are really ambitious and like the look of clean neat shrub borders, remove all the leaves from this area as well, and replace it with a thick layer of mulch or pine straw to insulate the root systems of trees, shrubs and hardy perennials. While you are working in your shrub borders, go ahead and cut back all of those spent perennials and remove your summer annual color. Recharging flower beds with pansies and ornamental kale can really brighten an otherwise bland landscape. Why not go the extra step and nestle in a few tulip bulbs that will lay in rest until they are ready to pop out with a colorful display early next year.

A little tip that many homeowners are unaware of is that evergreen plants lose some of their leaves in the fall in much the same fashion as their deciduous counterparts. The only difference is that they will lose only some of their leaves and not all. So if you notice your arborvitae turning brown try not to panic. If the leaf loss is primarily in the interior of the plant, chances are all is good. Simply mulch the tree/shrub to protect it from the winter cold.

Properly winterizing your landscape in the fall is the best protection to ensure a healthy landscape in spring.

Decorating Tips

Area Rugs Make a Difference By

Karen

Hartley,

Karen

Hartley

Interiors,

770.459.9096, www.karenhartleyinteriors.com

Today many of our homes have hardwood or other hard surface floors in main rooms. Hard surface floors are easy to care for and add value to your home. However, in many cases, the addition of an area rug adds connectivity to the large space by defining space and unifying the furnishings. Even homes with wall to wall carpet can use area rugs for the same purpose. Area Rugs are important to the overall appearance of a room and bring color and style to your home design so long as you keep a few tips in mind.

Common rug sizes are referred to as 5’x7’, 6’x9’, 8’x10’, 9’x12’ and 12’x15’. However, the actual size of the rug may vary. Design constraints may not always allow for the rug size to be exactly a 8 x 10 because the pattern may not quite fit. In that case the area rug may end up being 8’4 x 10’2. Most of these rugs are made overseas in countries using metric measurements and so the conversion may not be exact. Know the exact size so that you do not end up with an area rug too large for the space. Even a few inches can make a difference!

Whatever the actual size is, when it comes to placing the rug, be sure that any furniture sits on the rug completely. You don’t want it partly off the area rug because this makes the furniture unbalanced and is uncomfortable

to sit on. This is especially critical in the dining room; remember to pull the chair out as if you were seated in it. If the chair sits half on/half off the rug, the size is too small.

Color will be a key in selecting the correct rug for a space. Sometimes, the rug can be selected first and become the “roadmap” for selecting the furnishings and accessories for the room. The colors don’t have to be a perfect match but should be in the same family of colors. If you are working with existing furniture patterns, then the rug should include the colors in those patterns. A rug can be only tones of one color or can include all the colors in the patterns on the furniture.

Consider how much of the rug will be visible and not under the furniture when selecting the actual pattern. If much of the rug is tucked under pieces, then a simple pattern will be best. Large patterns and detailed patterns are best for open spaces. For example, if your room has the usual sofa and two chairs with a large cocktail ottoman and they “fill” the space, then a simple pattern will be best. Without the cocktail, or with a glass cocktail, then a more detailed pattern will look interesting.

Selecting an area rug for any room in your home should be a balance of style, and functionality. They can truly make or break a room! The actual fiber content will dictate the ease of use for that rug. For example, wool will last forever, almost, but soils easier than nylon. Some fibers feel better to touch for those who spend time sitting on the floor. Consider your own needs when you begin to shop.

Septic Tank Care

Taking Care of Your Septic Tank

By Lynn McMichael, Septic Solutions, 770.489.2095 or 770.942.PUMP, septictankfixer.com

As 2013 comes to an end and you begin to plan for 2014, don’t forget to add taking care of your septic system to your New Year’s resolutions. Taking care of your system, like taking care of your body, has many

We’re going to build an addition over our septic tank, but we don’t have septic problems so it will be fine.

TRUTH: NEVER build anything over your septic tank or field lines. If the septic tank needs to be accessed, whatever is over it will have to be moved.

It’s fine if I pour grease and oil down my kitchen sink.

TRUTH: This grease and oil can clog the line to the tank. It also takes longer to decompose, if it does at all.

We hope that you and your family have a Merry Christmas as you celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!

benefits in the long run. Many people ignore their septic tank because they’ve never had a problem or they don’t know it’s there.

They also believe many of these common myths. These myths include: You don’t have to pump a septic tank until you have a problem.

TRUTH: You should pump it every two to five years to remove any solids that have not decomposed. These solids can go out into the field lines and clog them.

My tank was pumped two years ago. It shouldn’t be full now.

TRUTH: It will be full. The average family uses about 200 gallons of water a day. If you have a 1000 gallon tank, it will be full in five days. As you add waste, the waste that is already in the tank is pushed out into the field lines and absorbed by the soil.

It’s okay to flush baby wipes and feminine products down the toilet.

TRUTH: NEVER flush anything other than waste and toilet paper.

Some wipes say they are suitable for septic tanks, but they could cause a clog or stoppage in the line to the tank or clog the filter going out of the tank. Don’t flush cigarette butts, hypodermic needles or condoms.

We have a three bedroom home, but we have beds for twelve people so everything should be fine.

TRUTH: If a home was buit with three bedrooms, the septic system was designed for three bedrooms. This will probably support four to five people. The septic system will not be large enough to handle the amount of waste and water being used by this many people.

GreyStone returning margins to members GreyStone Power Corporation is a not-for-profit cooperative that is owned by its members. Its members are its owners, so margins are returned to its members.

This year’s retirement represents capital contributed in 1994, 1995 and 2012. The amount returned over the years has reached $65.5 million, including $3.5 million being returned to members this year.

The amount returned to specific customers is based on the amount the customer paid during specific years and how much GreyStone can return to members while remaining financially healthy.

GreyStone Power rates are among the lowest in the State of Georgia, as seen on the Georgia Public Service Commission’s web site, www.psc.state.ga.us.

Douglas County received its membership check of $13,667.20 personally from GreyStone’s Economic Development Director Ed Cahill. Douglas County Commission Chairman Tom Worthan accepted the check with gratitude.

past couple of years; and (b) in GDOT, project manager Peter Emmanuel

Commission) to expedite construction of this project. After years of waiting and various delays, it is exciting to know that the start of construction is only a few months away.”

State Route 92 is one of the most crucial north south transportation arteries on the west side of the metro area. Plans call for the new highway to cross beneath the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, creating the first rail grade separation crossing in Douglasville and thus eliminating a major safety hazard in our community at this grade level crossing. Also, this new crossing will make it possible for the first time for vehicular traffic to continue to flow even when trains are passing through the City, which will alleviate current significant congestion bottlenecks.

A LONG HISTORY. Looking back some 25 years ago when I was a member of the Douglasville City Council, we were trying to get GDOT to approve funds for the relocation of Georgia Highway 92. And I know that over the next 20 years the City worked with GDOT, ARC, and the City’s consulting engineering firm on this project. Needless to say, there were many disappointments and there were many complications due to changing Federal environmental laws, State requirements, funding limitations, etc.

Expectations grew in 2009 when Congressman David Scott took a deep interest in the project and held a public hearing which attracted a large crowd. That was August 1, 2009. City officials and staff rose to meet the challenge. Facing skepticism from GDOT and Federal environmental officials who doubted the City would be able to complete a number of tasks and obtain strong public support for the project, the City staff did a great job. Proving their skeptics wrong, Douglasville got the job done in excellent fashion; and, in the process, gained GDOT’s support. Congressman Scott continued his support for the project in Washington, and was successful in getting some funding from the Federal government.

deserves special commendation.

THE RELOCATION. The path of this new multi lane highway will be located east of the current roadway starting at the top of the hill where Durelee Lane crosses Fairburn Road (Highway 92) near Chick fil a. The relocated highway will be east of Mill Village, will cross beneath the railway tracks and U. S. Highway 78, and will tie into the current Highway 92 (Dallas Highway) just north of the fire station near Malone Road.

Plans call for the project to be built in three phases. Phase I will be from Cooper Street to Ellis Street, and will include the bridge underpass and railroad crossing closures. Phase II is from Cooper Street to Pine Drive. Phase III is from Ellis Street north to Malone Road.

COMMENTS BY OFFICIALS. I and City Council Transportation Committee Chair LaShun Burr Danley have praised Congressman Scott for his support and involvement in the Highway 92 project.

In turn, Congressman Scott said the success in moving the Highway 92 project to construction months in advance of the timetable established three years ago is a testimony to the great working relationship of people at the local, state, and federal levels. “This project would not have happened if we had not formed a team,” he stated. He thanked Governor Nathan Deal, Senator Johnny Isakson, Senator Saxby Chambliss, Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, and Congressman Phil Gingrey for their assistance with this project.

Dana Lemon, who represents Douglasville/Douglas County and the rest of the 13th Congressional District on the GDOT Board, said the Highway 92 realignment is an extremely important regional project that will directly benefit a large part of the metro area.

Douglas County Commission Chairman Tom Worthan said: “I am elated

Pet Set Pet Care Tip Christmas Tips

By Dixie Popham - Owner, Pet Set Grooming, 3313 Highway 5 Across from Publix, 770.949.0579 Here are some handy tips to help maintain your sanity and keep you and your dog happy and safe over the holiday season.

Your Christmas Tree & Decorations: Once a year we fill our rooms up with trees, dangling objects, lights and even hang food around in odd places. We know what is going on, but our dogs probably just think we have gone a bit nuts!

Electrics: Make sure you keep your tree lights and any other electrical decorations safely out of your dogs reach - especially if your dog is inclined to investigate or chew through exposed electrical cord.

Trees: If you have a real tree, the needles which fall daily can become stuck in your dog’s paws and are also dangerous if eaten. Vacuum daily and keep your pets away from them. Don’t let your dog drink the tree water.

Tree Decor: From a dogs point of view – the Christmas tree, with its dangling goodies, is pretty tempting and begging to be investigated. Trees can easily topple over, especially once weighed down with decorations and lights, so try to secure the tree down so it does not fall over easily if bumped into by your dog (or a wagging tail). Trees do tend to look better by the window rather than being worn around the house by your enthusiastic dog!

Dogs can easily be caught up in tinsel and find hanging decorations particularly appealing. Life will be a lot easier and safer if you limit your dog’s access to the area. Don’t leave the tree and dog unattended!

pets Plants: Many Christmas plants including mistletoe, holly, potpourri and poinsettias are toxic, so keep them out of your dogs reach and seek immediate veterinary advice if you think your pet has ingested them.

Decorations: Those which are edible to humans, e.g. hanging chocolate tree decorations, may be sniffed out by your dog with his amazing nose detection capabilities. Chocolate is just pure poison to your dog’s system.

Tinsel, tin foil, and cling film can also be dangerous if swallowed and cause serious internal problems. Fairy lights look lovely, but problems can arise when dogs get tangled up in any loose wires left lying around.

Other: Blu-tack and similar adhesives may cause drooling, vomiting and/or diarrhea if eaten by your dog. Silica gel found in packaging can have the same affect - contact your vet for advice.

From Sensei

10 Reasons Your Child Should Participate in Martial Arts

By Sensei Samantha Hostettler, Chmapion Karate & Fitness, 2145-B West County Line Road,

770.947.5212 In a culture that seems to glorify violence in everything from music to video games and television shows, the idea of enrolling your child in martial arts training classes doesn’t always seem like a good one. While martial arts-centered action films seem to be filled to the brim with violent behavior and gory injuries, you may be surprised to learn that martial arts training is actually very beneficial to kids. Like so many other things that Hollywood doesn’t always get right, martial arts isn’t quite the brutal, vicious pastime that it seems.

In fact, these are 10 of the reasons why you may want to consider martial arts training for your kids.

1. Fostering Self-Discipline. One of the central tenets of all forms of the martial arts is an absolute focus on self-discipline. Today’s kids are so accustomed to receiving instant gratification that lessons in self-restraint and discipline aren’t always easy to come by. Kids with a martial arts background, however, are continually reminded of how essential self-discipline is.

66 |

CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS

Sports & Fitness

2. Boosting Socialization Skills. Kids who don’t always thrive in highly social environments may find it easier to get to know people and make new friends when they’re in a room filled with peers who share a common interest. The kids on the playground may not always have much common ground, but devotees to the martial arts are able to get to know one another through shared pursuits. Partner-driven forms like jiu jitsu can also foster camaraderie, as they force kids to pair off and build their skills together.

3. Encouraging Physical Activity. Limiting screen time is a great idea when it comes to getting kids off the couch and encouraging them to be more active, but it only goes so far. Enrolling an inactive child in such a physically demanding pastime not only discourages the sedentary lifestyle she’s used to, but also gives her an enjoyable activity that inspires her to keep moving.

4. Learning to Set and Achieve Goals. Most forms of martial arts are based around an accomplishment system of colored belts that signify the wearer’s degree of skill. When your child strives toward each new belt, he’s learning valuable lessons about setting and reaching his goals.

5. Increased Self-Esteem. Confidence comes with achievement, so your child’s self-esteem level will get a boost with every new move he masters and every belt he earns. Kids who struggle with a low sense of self-worth usually become more confident as time progresses while they’re enrolled in a martial arts class.

6. Instilling a Sense of Respect. Learning any martial arts style will require your child to show her instructor unflinching respect. Today’s kid culture doesn’t always include respect for authority, adults or those in advanced positions. When she goes to her karate or tae kwon do class, though, your child will be learning lessons in respect along with new moves.

7. Encouraging Non-Violent Conflict Resolution. Thinking that martial arts instruction promotes violent behavior is justified if your only experience with the activity comes from television or movies. In fact, many defensive styles teach kids peaceful, non-violent conflict resolution skills and emphasize the importance of avoiding a physical altercation.

8. Improving Listening Skills. In order to master the skills she’s being taught and advance through the belt ranks, your child will have to exercise superior listening skills. Kids who aren’t always adept when it comes to paying attention to what they’re told can benefit from the verbal instruction and one-on-one work in her dojo.

9. Developing Teamwork Skills. Whether he’s breaking boards to get a new belt or sparring in a practice setting to master a new maneuver, there are few things that your child does in his martial arts classes that will be done on his own. Working together to learn new things and accomplish goals is an important life lesson for kids to learn, and instruction in the martial arts can help your child learn that lesson.

10. Improvement in Other Areas of Life. The benefits of martial arts training don’t end in the dojo. The boost in confidence, increased fitness level and new cooperation skills will also help your child navigate the academic and social aspects of school, affect his behavior at home and have an all-around good influence on him as he develops into an adult.

If you’re still concerned about encouraging violent tendencies or teaching your child to fight, it may be helpful to visit a few dojos/gyms in your area. Speak with the instructors, administrators and other parents to get an idea of how things operate.

You Can Help!

West Georgia Elves

Jimmy, Trina and Erin White, life-long residents of Douglas County, have formed the West Georgia Elves, a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation. The purpose of the corporation is to assist families of children with serious illnesses.

The White’s stated that while Christmas gifts are their focus now, the financial burden on these families is great all year and they hope to be able to provide such assistance throughout the year. A website has been established (www.WestGaElves.org) so that individuals and businesses can “elf” a child for Christmas or make a monetary donation. When someone “elfs” a child, they are agreeing to be responsible for this child’s entire Christmas. Once gifts have been purchased, they can be delivered to the celebration party on December 7th, or dropped off during business hours between now and December 6th at Stewart Parkway Medical.

Information from the CDC shows that the medical costs for a child with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability can be up to 26 times greater than that of a healthy child. Children with serious illnesses and their families face hardship every day and the West Georgia Elves want to help ease their financial burden this Christmas.

To learn more about the West Georgia Elves, get directions on how to “elf” a child, or directions on how to make a donation, please visit the website listed above or call 678.905.7045. 100% of donations goes directly to a family in need and is tax deductible.

Kid’s Christmas Special The Kiwanis Club of Douglas County will be sponsoring the 16th annual “Kid’s Christmas Special”. This Christmas holiday project enables local needy children the opportunity to go on a “shopping spree”, accompanied by an officer from the Douglasville Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Douglas County Fire Department or a local community leader. On December 19, each child will be afforded $100 to spend at the Wal-Mart off of Highway 5 in Douglasville. A Douglasville police officer, sheriff’s deputy, fire fighter, first responder or local community leader and Kiwanis volunteers will use guidance provided by the child’s family in helping the child select his/her presents. The cost for a sponsorship is only $100 per child. Anyone interested in sponsoring a child should mail your contribution to the Kiwanis Club of Douglas County Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 69, Douglasville, GA 30133 or contact Jim Wilson at 404.376.0287. The Kiwanis Club of Douglas County is a 501(c) 3 and totally tax deductible.

One-hundred percent (100%) of every contribution is used for this project.

children & education Character Word Generosity

By Judge Barbara Caldwell, Community Character Coalition

According to vocabulary.com, generosity is a quality that’s a lot like unselfishness – it is someone showing generosity that is happy to give to or share of their time, money, food, or whatever with others.

It goes on to say that generosity is a quality — like honesty and patience — of which we all probably wish we had more. When you show generosity, you might give away things or money or put others before yourself. But generosity is about more than cash and stuff.

When you’re forgiving and gentle to people, you show generosity of spirit.

If you give others help or give others the credit for doing something; that’s showing that generosity has a face.

There are many factors that deepen our personal and internal spiritual growth, but the depth that comes from being genuinely generous can be

Libraries announce five-year plan of services The Libraries of Douglas County, in conjunction with the other libraries in the West Georgia region, have developed a five-year plan of services to the Public. Mrs. Roni Tewksbury, Regional Executive Director, presented the plan to the Douglas County Board of Commissioners during its Monday, October 14th, Work Session.

surprisingly fulfilling, as well as hold a deep well of intrinsic treasures.

“Psychology Today” explains another way of being generous – it is through acting with an unselfish regard for others, which is called altruism.

It goes on to state that it doesn’t always come naturally, even though many psychologists believe we’re hard-wired for empathy. We largely copy the behaviors of our fore-parents in that we understand that cooperative behavior allowed them to survive under harsh conditions.

And, at the end of the day, we realize that when we make the effort to give without expectations of getting something in return, we feel fulfilled and worthwhile ourselves.

Examples of being generous and being altruistic include finding kindness in unexpected places – even within ourselves and at times when we didn’t realize our feelings were so open and giving.

We are all encouraged to find our level of generosity. Perhaps the greatest by-product of generosity is the joy we feel from our sacrifice. Is there anything more rewarding than heartfelt joy when we are generous? the informational, educational, and recreational needs of your community” and the five-year plan expands on the Mission Statement.

The five-year plan was jointly developed by a stakeholder committee of citizens working in conjunction with library staff, the Regional Board of Directors, and a planning consultant. The planning process was funded by a generous grant from the Community Foundation of West Georgia.

While children are probably most excited about having two weeks off over the holidays, the mid-year point provides an important reminder for parents to take a close look at how their child is doing.

It is not uncommon, particularly in the early grades, for parents to express concerns regarding their child’s academic performance at the end of a school year, only to be told by school personnel to “wait and see” how their child matures and progress over the summer months, and how they adjust to the next school year. If this was the case for your child, it is now time to consider how the “wait and see” approach has worked. If your child seems to have “caught on,” such that he/she is performing on grade level without significant struggles, then it is most likely appropriate to continue what you are doing.

However, if your child continues to struggle, now is the time to consider more direct intervention. Parents should express their concerns to school personnel to determine what services the school can offer; for some students this may mean beginning the Response to Intervention (RTI) process.

Midway through the school year is also the time to consider pursuing a comprehensive evaluation to determine what is causing your child to struggle. Comprehensive testing will allow you to understand your child’s difficulties—do they have a learning disability? Do they have attention problems?

Do they have problems processing language? By understanding your child’s difficulties, you will then be able to know what strategies are most likely to be effective, so that you can begin addressing the difficulties in a more efficient manner.

It is important to know that testing is a time-consuming process, whether done privately or through the school system. School systems often implement the RTI process (in which they provide interventions and measure how the child improves with interventions) before they agree to test a student; the RTI process can last for 16 weeks or longer. If a school determines that a child qualifies for testing, they then have up to 60 days to complete testing, and another 30 days to implement an Individual Education Program (IEP) if the child qualifies for services. Thus, beginning the evaluation process mid-way through the school year will mean that it will be near the end of the school year, and possibly into the next school year, before school personnel are able to implement intervention strategies (if a child is found to qualify for an IEP).

A private evaluation can be much more efficient, with results back within weeks of testing, though it will still take time for school personnel to review the report and move forward with their procedures before a child is granted services. Thus, if your child has continued to struggle with the “wait and see” approach, now is the time to move forward with testing so that intervention can begin before the end of the school year, and so summer months can be used to help a student ‘catch up’ with their classmates.

medical directory & guide Downtown Medical Practice Moves to New Location After 50 years in the same location, the oldest continuous medical practice in Douglas County relocated recently to a more modern office just down the street in Downtown Douglasville.

Clark Robinson, MD started his family medical practice in 1963 at 6671 Church Street in Downtown Douglasville.

His daughter Tammy J. Robinson, MD joined the practice in 1993. The office has been just around the corner from the fountain for the last 50 years.

The building was a medical and dental office even before Clark opened the practice in 1963. Dr. Hamilton, a medical doctor, and Dr. Turk, a dentist, were in practice together prior to Clark beginning his medical practice.

In August the practice moved to 6559 Church Street, into a space previously occupied by a bank. Patients are thrilled with the dedicated parking and greater handicap accessibility. The exam and waiting rooms are both larger and the new office also has a procedure room. Tammy felt it was important to carry on the tradition of offering medical care in Downtown Douglasville, and the response of the patients to the new location has been very enthusiastic.

Go Ahead, Take a Shot

Both Clark and Tammy were trained at Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. Clark completed his residency at Macon General Hospital. He started medical school after World War II because he was in the Merchant Marines and participated in the Normandy Invasion in 1944. Tammy completed her residency at Floyd Medical Center in Rome.

Even though Clark retired in 2007 after practicing for 44 years, he still comes to work every day at the age of 88. When asked what he missed most about being in retirement, he replied, “Everything, but it’s OK. If I ever came back to work, I would want it to be here.” As for Tammy, she says the thing she likes most about practicing medicine is taking care of people and families.

On the day that we took the photo for this article, she requested one of her younger patients Ryland come and also be in the picture. Ryland stopped by the office on Halloween dressed as a doctor, so Tammy wanted to give her a chance to be in the magazine as well.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, you may call the office at 770.942.5111.

conditions like asthma, alcoholism, COPD and diabetes—all of which affect the immune system; residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities; and people who smoke cigarettes.

Influenza—or the flu—is a highly contagious respiratory infection cause by a virus. Although the flu is usually mild in children and younger adults, it can cause life-threatening viral pneumonia in older adults. Influenza epidemics in the past have killed millions of people worldwide.

“Anyone age six months or older should receive an annual seasonal flu vaccine,” said Dr. Ather. “Influenza viruses are constantly changing, so it’s important to get a new flu shot each year. It’s best to get a flu shot in the fall, when the vaccine becomes available in your community.”

If you think that you have pneumonia or the flu—even if you have been vaccinated—see your family physician as soon as possible to determine if you need treatment with antibiotics or antiviral drugs.

medical directory & guide A Sweet Treatment: Can Cinnamon Control Diabetes?

By Dr. Wizner, a board-certified family medicine physician with Tanner Primary Care of West Paulding. www.PrimaryCareWestPaulding.org, 770.456.3866 A stick of cinnamon can sweeten coffee or give whole wheat toast an extra kick. But some believe this favorite spice might actually have a positive impact on managing diabetes.

There are many types of cinnamon. What we buy in the U.S. is usually Cassia cinnamon, also called Chinese cinnamon. It’s the bark and flowers of the plant that are used for medicine.

But whether or not this spice can help control diabetes is a matter of debate. Studies have yielded conflicting results. Some showed a benefit, others did not.

Because of these differences, in 2008, researchers set out to integrate the data. They looked at randomized, controlled studies—the gold standard for clinical trials—that compared cinnamon with a placebo in people with diabetes. Five studies met their criteria, with 282 people using Cassia cinnamon, although with different amounts used in each study.

Individually, some studies showed that cinnamon lowered fasting blood sugar levels. But when data from all five trials were combined, cinnamon had no effect on blood sugar. In addition, the ancient spice did not improve A1C (which measures average blood sugar for the past two to three months), cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

However, a similar analysis performed in 2011 with data from several newer studies showed that cinnamon did lower fasting blood sugar levels. In fact, blood sugar declined to the same extent as with some diabetes medicines.

Until a long-term clinical study with many patients shows cinnamon helps control diabetes, you should continue to use medicine, a healthy diet and exercise to control your blood sugar levels. And remember, however you choose to use cinnamon, that ground cinnamon and cinnamon sugar are not the same thing.

If you want to give cinnamon a try, talk with your doctor first. While some studies have shown it lowers blood sugar, you need to be careful when using it with diabetes medicine. Lowering your blood sugar too much can be risky. It also may be toxic to the liver in large amounts or when used with medicines that potentially harm the liver.

GERD: A Burning Issue

in the esophagus. Plus, it may increase a person’s risk for a type of cancer of the esophagus.

Do you have GERD? Heartburn and acid regurgitation are the classic signs of GERD. Other signs may include: cough; hoarseness; chest pai; nausea; trouble swallowing.

If you have these symptoms, there are some things you can do to bring yourself some relief. Some of the lifestyle choices that you can make to help ease the discomfort of GERD include: not smoking; limiting alcohol; staying away from foods that have caffeine, as well as onions, tomatoes, peppermint, spearmint, chocolate, citrus fruits, or foods with a lot of spices or fat; losing weight (if overweight); raising the head of the bed by six inches; not lying down within three hours after eating; not wearing tight-fitting clothes; not eating large meals.

If you have any of the symptoms listed above, talk to your doctor. He or she can recommend testing and other treatments, including medications that can help reduce the amount of acid in your stomach.

By Dr. Gill, a board-eligible gastroenterologist and liver disease specialist with Gastroenterology Associates, part of Tanner Medical Group. 770.456.3786, www.GastroenterologyAssoc.org We all face heartburn from time to time. Usually, the burning can be relieved by dropping a few antacids and swearing off Thai food (for a while, at least).

For others, however, it’s more than just an occasional annoyance. These people have a common digestive problem that called gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. With GERD, the contents of the stomach flow back up into the esophagus.

Many things can cause GERD, such as: digestive muscles that don’t work properly; obesity; pregnancy; lifestyle factors.

Although GERD is rarely life-threatening, it can lead to bleeding or ulcers

Wellstar Health System To Build Health Park WellStar Health System announced plans to move forward with the planning for a new health park on 25 acres of property bordering I-285 to the east, Atlanta Road on the south and Cumberland Parkway on the north. The WellStar Vinings Health Park, a new 162,000 square foot health park in the Smyrna/Vinings area, is scheduled to break ground in 2014 and begin seeing patients in late 2015/early 2016.

“WellStar is committed to the health of residents and is pleased to offer this convenient, comprehensive and high-quality care to our community,” said Chris Kane, WellStar senior vice president for strategic business development. “The purchase of this property ideally positions WellStar to address the needs of the residents in this rapidly growing area. We have a noteworthy history in Cobb County but our Health Park investments are evidence of our optimism about the future.”

With outpatient healthcare expected to grow 30% over the next five years, WellStar health parks have been developed to deliver outpatient

care in community-based facilities. WellStar health parks, currently open in Acworth and under construction in East Cobb, are tailored to provide innovative coordinated care to the local community.

“A health park is all about bringing outpatient and physician services directly to the communities we serve,” said Joe Brywczynski, senior vice president health parks development. “Residents will no longer have to expect to endure long drive times, frustrating traffic congestion and multiple trips to access their health services at multiple locations. By combining and coordinating services under one roof, we will greatly improve patient and family convenience and access to their outpatient care needs. The health park is truly a one-stop-shop opportunity.”

Plans for the health park in Vinings include a wide array of comprehensive medical diagnostic testing services such as medical imaging, urgent care, lab and pre-admission testing, cardiac and sleep diagnostics, physical therapy and sports medicine, and much more.

GreyStone linemen win first in division The team of GreyStone Power linemen who took home first place overall at last year’s International Lineman’s Rodeo returned to Kansas this month to compete again. The journeyman lineman team of Tony Brown of Villa Rica, Josh Jones of Dallas, and Patrick LeCroy of Dallas took home first place in the rural electric co-op division and fourth overall against 209 other teams at this year’s International Lineman’s Rodeo. Along with the co-op division, rodeo participants can include investorowned utilities, municipal electric utilities, contractors, seniors and military utility workers.

The 2013 journeyman team events in­ cluded the Hurtman Rescue, which uses a dummy to simulate an injured lineman that participants must then rescue; the Pole Climb event, which requires participants to carry an egg down a pole without breaking it; and two mystery events. GreyStone’s winning team placed second in one of the mystery events, which required the linemen to cut a jumper cable. The other mystery event involved changing an insulator bell, a piece of equipment found on overhead power lines.

Also participating in the rodeo this year was the team of Sam Albright, Marcus Aldridge and Josh Kirby with coach Steve Jenkins. Derek Carruth, Jack Rider, Tim Costner and coach Matt Orr participated as well.

law FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY: DAVID MCDADE David McDade has served in the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office since 1982. He was elected to the position of District Attorney in 1990. You can visit the District Attorney’s website at www.DouglasCountyDA.org.

Thirty years ago this month, my life changed forever. On December 13, 1982, with my right hand raised straight in the air, I took the oath of office from Superior Court Judge Dan Winn. The swearing in ceremony affirmed my position as a prosecutor in the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, which, at the time, was beginning its operations in the newly created Douglas Judicial Circuit. As a child who grew up in Lithia Springs, spending the past 30 years serving my community has been an honor.

Two prosecutors who currently work in our office share that privilege with me. David Emadi and Anna Vaughan have been hired within the last year to serve the community that raised them. I have asked both of them to share their feelings on working for their hometown and the experience they’ve gained from their first trial.

After having spent three years in law school preparing for this moment, with a large portion of that being involved in Mock Trials and Student Trial Advocacy competitions, the opportunity to conduct my first jury trial was something I had worked towards being able to do for a long time. The experience was a great one in terms of not only performing a job I genuinely believe in, but also in the sense of being a great learning experience.

Having a guilty verdict returned was, I think, an affirmation of all the things I have learned working for David McDade and the District Attorney’s

Office here over the past year and a half. Having the opportunity to come back home and give back to the community that gave me so much growing up is a special privilege, and it’s one I don’t take lightly. My first jury trial was a truly enjoyable opportunity, and I’m eagerly anticipating continuing to serve Douglas County as I move forward in my career. - David Emadi I am blessed to have the opportunity to represent Douglas County and its citizens as an advocate for justice. The best thing about working for the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office is being able to give back to the supportive community I grew up in and still call home. Protecting our community from falling prey to criminals is essential in order to preserve it for our children.

In my short time here at the office I have learned that prosecutors must work tirelessly for the victims of crime and the community as a whole. The weight of responsibility carried by those working in criminal prosecution was a humbling one. Likewise, my first trial was a powerful experience. Its resulting guilty verdict was a culmination of many mentoring efforts of those here in the courthouse. I’ll rest a little easier knowing one more thief was brought to justice in this case. Most importantly, however, I had fun doing what I love. I can’t ask for more. - Anna Vaughan We are lucky to have David and Anna as stakeholders in our future. Their investment in this community will pay dividends for years to come.

FROM MIKE MILLER, ATTORNEY AT LAW

By Mike Miller, Attorney at Law, Managing Attorney, Miller & Hightower, Attorneys at Law, 770.942.2720

As a local firm, we handle many types of legal matters for those in our community. Included in those matters are will drafting and Probate of Estates. Often times, individuals who pass without a will leave complex issues that must be sorted out among their heirs. This can be costly and cause animosity among heirs.

Every adult, regardless of wealth, marital status, or whether or not they have children, should have a properly drafted and executed will. A will is necessary for ensuring that your estate is distributed according to your wishes. A will can also save money and ease the burden of administering your estate once you are gone.

In a will, parents can name whom they want to be the guardian over their minor children. Additionally, the frequency of multiple marriages in today’s society, a will with appropriate trust provisions may be helpful in ensuring that your assets ultimately pass to your designated beneficiaries.

You, through a will, can also decide how your property will be distributed and it relieves others of that burden. It helps ensure your wishes will be honored.

Having appropriate provisions in a will may help you to lessen estate taxes imposed upon your death. Your will can direct that your assets pass to a trust for your beneficiaries instead of outright distribution to a beneficiary.

Trusts may assist in protecting assets from the claims of creditors, unwise

Law

choices made by beneficiaries, and provide for minor children. Trusts are very useful in estate tax planning.

A will lets you choose the individual or entity who will serve as executor of your estate. The executor will manage and settle your estate according to the law and your desires expressed in your will. Without a will, your beneficiaries would have to petition the court for an administrator to serve, which can be expensive and invite disagreement among heirs to whom you may not wish to inherit your property.

A will lets you grant your executor full power to sell your property and liquidate your assets without having to petition the court for permission or provide an accounting to the court.

A will enables you to eliminate unnecessary expenses and court costs involved in the administration of an estate without a will. For instance, bond premiums can be avoided by stating that you desire that the executor serve without a bond.

You can even make gifts to charity through your will.

In sum, wills are not only for the wealthy, they are important for all adults who are interested in ensuring that their wishes are respected upon death, and that their estates pass to their designated beneficiaries as quickly and efficiently as possible. Wills can be a component of successful estate planning, transferring the individual’s estate as they desire, as well as avoiding unnecessary taxes and costs.

Reason to paint before moving into your new home It can save you money – lots of it. If you’re using a professional painting contractor, he or she can complete the work far faster in rooms that are empty. That’s extremely important, since time charges for labor typically account for 80% of the cost of painting, according to Zimmer. “Bottom line: Calling in a contractor before moving into a home can drastically lower the cost of painting the space,” she says.
