Hi there.
This is my favorite time of the year. My wedding anniversary is this month. The weather is perfect and the leaves are beautiful colors. We spent a lot of time outside and had fun putting together this issue.
We enjoyed learning about a few of the many Canton mompreneurs-moms who are also wives, sisters, daughters, friends and businessowners in the local marketplace. Read the piece by Associate Editor Melissa Holder to learn about their unique talents and backgrounds starting on page 18. Halloween. Fall Festivals. Pumpkins. Ghost Tours. Haunted House. Zombiefest. So much for you and your family to experience in Canton this Fall. Be sure to shop local! An important feature by contributor Amanda Turano is, “Come on Down{town}!” Many of us are residents of unincorporated Canton, so we can’t vote in the Mayor’s or City Council races; but we can take advantage of the fabulous events and happenings right down the road. We’ve got an excellent historic town center. And, we all have access to it! Our regular columnists delight us with their intel on golf, tennis, faith, gardening and pets. High School footbal season is well underway, and rivalries are crazy---who beat who and who is next? Look for us around town. We’re sponsoring the BridgeMill Sixes Service League Golf “Fore” Charity event on October 18th. We’ll be at downtown’s First Friday event on October 4th. Or, I can usually be spotted in the middle of the road saving a turtle in danger of being run over.

BRIDGEMILL-SIXES SERVICE LEAGUE It’s All About Service.
A couple of years ago, I was
involved with a tight-knit, intense networking group in Canton called “Powercore.” There I met a lot of wonderful, committed entrepreneurs; and one of the women who impressed me most was Kathy Fulton. Shortly after joining the group, I read an article in a local magazine about Kathy being named Volunteer of the Year. I proudly thought, “Hey, I know her!” And then humbly thought, “My goodness, how does she have time to do everything, run a business and be volunteer of the year?” I began paying attention to what she does, how she presented and handled herself and her business. I came to realize it was all about service, in her work and in her personal life.
Serving others. The longer I’m in business, the 6 October • November 2013
by REGINA GULICK clearer to all of us here at Canton Magazine that serving others is what it’s all about. When we launched Canton Magazine, the only printer I considered was Kathy’s family business: McStatt’s Printing. I knew I could count on her to take care of my printing needs. I had learned over time that I could rely on Kathy. Relationships are everything when running a small business. We heard last month the BridgeMill Sixes Service League - of which Kathy was very involved and was past president- was promoting their annual fundraiser golf tournament. We immediately jumped on board as a sponsor. If Kathy was involved, we knew it would be a fantastic event to be associated with. We asked if it would be okay to write an article about the League and the tournament in our Oct/Nov issue of Canton Magazine. And she was eager to spread the word
about this terrific local charity organization. The Bridge Mill Sixes Services League (BSSL.org) is a 501c3 non-profit organization established to provide community outreach assistance by organizing various events and programs. The monies raised provide needed materials and services to those less fortunate in our local community. Their motto is “Together We Can Make a Difference.” The BSSL makes a difference for children and families in Cherokee County through raising funds for the following charities: American Cancer Society, Angel House, Bethany’s BEATS, CASA, Give a Kid a Chance, Cherokee Family Violence Center, Epilepsy Foundation, Goshen Valley Boys Ranch, The HOPE Center, Lexine Harper Memorial Book Scholarship, MUST Ministries, Papas Pantry, Reinhardt University, SCAT (Schools & Communities Acting Together), Senior Luncheon for Cherokee County, Turn Around Ministries. The main focus of the BSSL is community outreach; but they balance work and play by of-
fering participation in various social groups and day excursions for members. Their membership includes women in their twenties, moms immersed in raising children, empty nesters and seniors. They include career women, part-time workers, stay-at-home moms and retirees. In 2013, they’re giving over $25,000 to local charities. They don’t have a complicated membership application. If you’re a local woman willing to give of your time and talents, then they make room for you in their League. The 4th annual Golf FORE Charity will be held October 18th at BridgeMill Golf and Country Club. Our readers can help by participating in the event as golfers, volunteers, donors of silent auction items, or sponsors. Various levels of sponsorship make it possible for all types of local businesses, no matter how small, to participate and serve. Kathy says, “This is truly a team effort, in every sense of the word. So many individuals and individual businesses work together to make this

our largest fundraising event each year.” Current sponsors include Rainbow Asia, Atlanta Dent Company, Atlanta Auto Color, BridgeMill Dentistry, McStatts’ Printing, Subacz Media Group, Cherokee Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Canton Magazine, Patouillet Consulting LLC, Goshen Valley Boys Ranch and BridgeMill Pets. Tee Sponsors to date are Bio Tech Cleaners, Cherokee Bank, Country Financial Connie Foster and the Kurt & Sheila Johnson Team at Keller Williams Realty. Kathy says Jay and Marlyn Patouillet are the strength behind the golf tournament each year. Marlyn is the current BSSL President. Jay was one of the brains behind the event when he and Darryl Fulton decided in 2010 to see how they could help their wives by getting the men involved in the BSSL. Other events throughout the year include the Charity Tennis Event, Relay for Life Team, Spring Fling, Ghost & Goblin Run, Wine Tasting, and Thanksgiving Food Drive for MUST Ministries. The BSSL hyper-focus on local charities, needy families and children closest to home, 8

NOVEMBER 30, 2013 You Have Our Permission to Sleep in on Black Friday this Year... but be sure to set the alarm for 5am on Saturday, November 30th
4th annual Small Business Saturday When I worked for Patch (Aol’s
hyper-local news organization,) I fell in love with “Small Business Saturday.” I thought it was such a great way to celebrate shopping local, which I was and still am a fan of. I had a few cynics question how “Small Business Saturday” makes sense if it’s sponsored by American Express—one of America’s iconic corporations. To me, it made perfect sense. American Express simply wanted to help their customers – small businesses across the country prosper, which will in turn help them prosper --the American way! No small business alone could create a movement like “Small Business Saturday” without the marketing budget of a corporation like AMEX, and I get marketing. As a consumer, you are a key part in helping small businesses thrive. By shopping or dining at a small business, you’re showing your support for your neighborhood and reinvesting in your own community. This helps local entrepreneurs 10 October • November 2013
offer more jobs, which in turn invigorates the local economy.
President Obama tweeted about Small Business Saturday; and last year the Senate officially named the Saturday after Thanksgiving, “Small Business Saturday.” We give you permission – and of course you need our permission – to sleep in on Black Friday. Forgo the new outlet Mall and Walmart specials until later in December when the sales are actually better; and get up early on Saturday, November 30th to shop for Christmas and Hanukkah gifts from your local businesses and neighbors. Find specialty gifts for Mom, Grandmother, sister, daughter and niece at Three Sisters Gifts in Hickory Flat, Chamberhouse downtown, What a Girl Wants at Riverstone, The Ivy Garden Gifts in Holly Springs, Be Original off Sugar Pike and the Natural Market off of Sixes Road in the BridgeMill area. Or support Canton’s Mompre-
neurs (see page 22) and buy their unique products. Buy your jewelry at Canton Jewelry. Need your living room painted or a minor remodel before the in-laws arrive from Wisconsin? Hire a local home improvement remodeler supporting his family here in Canton. We’ve got three to suggest: Vision Remodeling, Bruno Construction or Interior Improvements. Every effort to shop local counts. What for the men? We have two great, locally owned gun shops Big Woods Goods and Hi Caliber off of Hwy 5 in Holly Springs. Our local golf and country clubs offer golf and tennis gear and apparel at better prices than the big box stores. Canton area restaurants, spas and salons – locally owned – will be pleased to provide you with gift certificates as stocking stuffers and Hanukkah gifts. La Vida Massage in Hickory Flat and Studio 5 Salon downtown offer amazing services as gift certificates. Contrary to what some consider “impersonal” gifts, we polled every woman here at Canton Magazine and 100% of us agreed she LOVES gift certificates. Especially when accompanied by a heartfelt note and an extra date night. Maybe it’s not as convenient to shop local? Maybe it takes a little more research, driving around or walking from shop to shop. But, we’ve heard statistics that 80% of the sales from shopping small goes right back into the community in the form of property taxes, sales taxes, revenue, employment and owners living in their communities. So put an extra five minutes of thought to your giftgiving this year and shop small. Shop Local. Let’s make this a banner year for local business owners. Is there any cost to my business to be a part of the Shop Small Movement and Small Business Saturday? No. As a small business owner, you are automatically part of the movement. The Shop Small Movement and Small Business Saturday help bring communities together to show support for you, the small business owner and help give you exposure throughout the year. You can explore www.smallbusinesssaturday.com site for free tools and resources you can use to help promote your business. If you also accept American Express then you have additional access to marketing materials specific for this special day.RG

RIVERSTONE CORNER BISTRO Happy 1st Year Anniversary to the RCB!
We are fans of his other restaurant, Corner Bistro in Towne Lake,
so we were excited to profile the RCB (Riverstone Corner Bistro), local chef Michael Farrar’s 2nd Cherokee County restaurant.
Celebrating their first year anniversary in Canton, this quaint, family oriented, urban farm-chic restaurant is a gem for local diners. With its terrific atmosphere, great service, cool cocktails and amazing food, our readers are sure to find something pleasing to their palettes at the RCB. Slightly off the main drag, Riverstone Parkway, the RCB is a perfect spot for dinner before movies at Carmike Cinemas or a lunch with the girlfriends. It’s not a restaurant you just “happen upon,” and 12 October • November 2013
so the tremendous growth in customers has come from word-of-mouth and happy diners. The most rewarding aspect of running the RCB, says Farrar, is “building relationships with all the regulars and staff.” He loves to see the RCB become the “go-to” spot to bring families and friends. Their specialties are steak and seafood, as well as, comfort food with that elegant Southern flare. Their one-year anniversary celebration will be on October 5th and last throughout the month of October with drink specials, numerous desserts and live music.

GARDENING COLUMN: TOM COX In this first of a two-part series, I’m going to discuss why Canton, GA is such a great place to garden. We will examine some of the key factors that contribute to our success. As mentioned in the previous issue of Canton Magazine, the Cox Arboretum was started by my wife Evelyn and I in 1990. One of the salient features of our arboretum is the wide array of plants that we are able to successfully cultivate in our Zone 7B climate. This array includes plants from every continent except Antarctica. Prominent horticulturists who visit from around the world are surprised by our success in growing many plants considered unsuitable for our growing conditions. These include a number of southern hemisphere plants from as far south as Brazil (latitude 23.5° S) to portions of Russia (latitude 51° N). As a point of reference, Canton, GA is 34.2°. I recall a visit a number of years ago from a highly regarded conifer expert who lived in 14 October • November 2013
Moline, IL. Given his stature in the realm of conifers, I was quite excited to offer a tour of many of our plantings. It soon became obvious that he was out of his element with much of what he saw. This was no reflection of his extensive knowledge but rather an artifact of him having never seen many of the plants as they would not survive in his location. As I have gardened here for more than 23 years, I have come to appreciate our growing conditions. We are able to grow many northern plants as well as plants from southern provenances. As I like to tell people, we garden in a “sweet spot” -- not too hot and dry or too cold and wet. A few years ago I visited horticultural institutions in Jacksonville and Coral Gables, FL during late January. This was after some relatively cold temperatures were experienced all the way into south Florida. I was surprised to find that a number of plants prospering here in Canton were killed much further south. How could this be? One of the factors that allow many of
our plants to live here is a process referred to as “hardening off ” -- where plants naturally acclimatize to cooler temperatures and lower humidity. As fall approaches, woody plants begin to gradually get ready for winter as opposed to perennials and annuals which undergo a different process. Unlike in Florida where temperature swings can sometimes be dramatic, this process is slow in our area with our first frost usually occurring in mid to late November. The pattern reverses as spring approaches. If temperatures fall too quickly (more than six degrees/hour) and stay too low for a prolonged period of time, the plants may not have enough time to harden and can be injured or killed. Here in Canton, I am more concerned with late spring frost following a warm spell (normally in March), where plants start to initiate new growth which is injured or killed when the temperature drops again. Early spring temperature fluctuations can also be deleterious to spring blooms, especially hydrangeas and deciduous magnolias. Compared to our northern neighbors, we also enjoy moderate temperatures with our coldest month being January which averages 28°F. This affords us the ability to successfully cultivate a diverse array of plants from more southern latitudes. When there are extremes, they tend not to be long in duration. Twice during the winter of 2013 we recorded lows of 12°F. Due in part to the short duration of the freezing temperature, no plants perished. Had we experienced four or more days in a row of temperatures this low, we most likely would have lost some plants considered tender. It is important to note that we are talking norms; temperatures as low the -10°F recorded in 1985 are game changers. The other side of the temperature spectrum is heat. Our hottest month is July with an average high of 87°F. Now, anyone who has lived in the South for any length of time knows that our summers can feel oppressive -- due in part to our high humidity. The average number of days each year above 90° in Canton is approximately 29. Compared with other Georgia cities such as Atlanta (36), Athens (51), Columbus (76) and Macon (80) we are fairly moderate. Another mitigating factor is high nighttime temperatures. In the Coastal Plain region it is not uncommon to have temperatures in the low 80s at 10:00 p.m., a situation that

influences the carbohydrate balance of a plant which can leave nothing for growth or production of defense compounds. At our arboretum at 1200 feet elevation, we experience cooler nighttime temperatures than for example, Athens (800 ft) or Columbus (300 ft). Similar to the lack of severe cold extremes discussed above, this affords us with the ability to successfully cultivate a diverse array of plants from more northern latitudes. These same plants might not be as adaptable in Athens or Columbus where they might struggle with the heat. In summary, every region of our country has “sweet spots” where certain groups of plants are better adapted, e.g., lilacs in the north and palms further south. The major take-away in this article is the realization that we are able to grow an extremely wide variety of plants. This means that if the average gardener is willing to experiment, they do not have to limit their selections to only a few well known genera. Based on recent visits to several nearby retail nurseries, I am encouraged by the wide selection of plants that I see in the market.

October • November 2013
I will conclude this segment in the next article with discussion on rainfall amounts, various soil-types and humidity, all of which are contributing factors in making Canton a great place to garden. A more in-depth look at these and other elements of successful gardening can be found in the recently published book “Landscaping with Conifers and Ginkgo for the Southeast” by Tom Cox and University of Georgia professor, Dr. John Ruter. TC
Tom, along with his wife Evelyn, owns Cox Arboretum in Canton and is a past president of the American Conifer Society “www.conifersociety.org.” He has recently co-authored a book with University of Georgia professor Dr. John Ruter -- Landscaping with Conifers and Ginkgo for the Southeast. He is a recognized expert on conifers and a popular lecturer on the subject.

OUR ART SCENE
The Cherokee Arts Center,
located at 94 North St. Canton, was born on September 25, 1998 when title from the United Methodist Church was transferred to the Arts Center for $1.00. With a very generous, yet anonymous, gift of $100,000 refurbishing began on the building to get it ready to be a hub of the community where the mission would be to enrich the quality of life by promoting, developing and coordinating excellence in the arts. Each year the Cherokee Arts Center brings Canton Festival of the Arts to downtown Canton for two days. It’s always the third weekend of May and always Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. both days. This fine arts juried festival brings 20 – 30,000 visitors to our charming town. There’s something for everyone at the festival. A children’s area, food court, Serenity Gardens, live music, and a Literary Celebration with local and nationally known authors. These are the delicious side dishes to the main course – the artists’ market. Each year we have between 60 and 80 artists come to the Canton Festival of the Arts to show and sell their beautiful, one of a kind, artwork.
Autumn is also the time of our grand gala event, this year called, Night Under the Lights. It will be a Parisian themed gala ball with the purpose of raising funds sufficient to fully replace the antiquated, decade old lighting system in the Gallery. With new state of the art lighting, that will be more energy efficient and less damaging to precious artwork, we will be able to attract even more nationally renowned artists as well as continue to show off our superb local artists. This gala is a time to celebrate the Arts Center, its supporting artists, and to raise money for the good of our artists.
Our Night Under the Lights will be October 19th, at 7pm at the Arts Center. Single tickets Senior project, “Bane,” displayed in the Cherokee Co.

KENDRA GRAHAM and BLAKE WILKIE Magnolia Interior Designs

With an all-inclusive motto, “If it can be done, we can do it,” clients trust Magnolia Interior Design to work on their projects from the beginning to the final, customized end. Both partners agree that teamwork is what makes them successful. “We work on every project from start to finish together, bouncing ideas off each other continuously.

Part of their full-service includes their own fabrication of products such as custom window treatments, draperies, bedding, pillows, cushions, and upholstery. Both do design consulting as well. They even have had some clients use them for event planning, which is something they love for the challenge and the chance to create beautiful spaces. Magnolia Interior Design can help create something spectacular that will really represent who you are
by implementing your own furnishings and accessories, plus bringing out your personality to enhance your style---always with function a top priority. While having a successful business to support a family is important, Kendra and Blake are also proud of what they are able to give back to the community. They have participated in charities such as the Sunshine Kids, American Cancer Society, Roswell Women’s Club, and SonLight Vision Ministries and they support the local community and school systems at every opportunity.

Desiree especially loves the flexibility her job allows her. Even though she may work into the wee hours of the morning, she is able to have dinner with her family or stop by her boys’ preschool to enjoy special occasions. A large part of this is due to the family atmosphere that she has built in her business. With representatives in other major cities, STRIKING can have that face to face interaction with clients when necessary and limit the amount of time that she is away from her own family. Desiree is proud to have a supportive husband and loves involving her kids in what she does – and they love the swag she has around the house! 770-674-6570 • www.striking-promos.com info@striking-promos.com
CINDI DORNELLAS MeuCow Creations
Cindi Dornellas can call her business a success, not because she has been crafting jewelry and artwork for eight years, but because her children are proud to see her creations in the community. “I think they love it when they see a mom or friend of theirs wearing a MeuCow necklace I created, or go to a friend’s house and a wall has a MeuCow art piece.

presents for their friends, I’m likely to make something personal and innovative.” MeuCow Creations specializes in ‘vintage chic’ and custom creations, priding itself in creating jewelry and art pieces that make statements and provide personalized touches. It is evident in Cindi’s creations that she takes this to heart. While she describes MeuCow as a side business, doing something she loves has made it possible to provide the little extras for her family. “I’m fortunate to have a supportive husband. He’s busy working a million hours, so I’ve worked hard to keep my business separate. None of our family funds go toward financing the business. It pays for itself.” Cindi describes MeuCow as “unique, innovative, and meaningful.” So reward yourself. Because after all, we all are special and unique. 678-577-1308 • meucow@windstream.net www.facebook.com/meucowcreations
LARA CAZENAVE
PLaY! Music and Art
Having a business where your children actually LIKE to hang out is an accomplishment. But when that business allows you to do what you love, with your loved ones, then you are very blessed indeed. Lara Cazenave with PLaY!
Music and Art agrees. “I love teaching, especially children. I love helping them bring out their creativity and express themselves. Working with so many great artists and musicians to create a place like this where creativity flows is something I don’t take for granted.” In 2010, Lara and her husband decided to start a family business. Lara is the artist and her husband oversees the musical side of the studio. While working with family can sometimes pose challenges, the Cazenave family enjoys being together and furthering each other’s creativity, as well as their customers’. While her children might sometimes feel like they are “at the office” longer than they’d like, they do enjoy the art and music, as well as the perks – like attending festivals. PLaY! offers private music lessons, group art classes, and art parties for kids…and kids at heart! 6768 Hickory Flat Hwy. 770-345-7529 info@playmusicandart.com www.playmusicandart.com

Her husband picks up the slack at home and the kids are involved in the businesses. “The ice cream store is something I’ve always wanted to do. My hopes are that the kids will all be able 22 October • November 2013

KRISTIN SNYDER Eccentric Garb
It’s a common problem for many stay-at-home Moms who are ready to get back into the work place. Some employers see a big gap in employment history and discount the many years of practical experience involved in raising children. So, this past March, Kristin Snyder decided to step back from the job search and put her sewing skills and fashion design degree to good use. Eccentric Garb takes a favorite fabric, maybe even a well-worn dress that you no longer wear, and makes a fashion statement. These standout bags are handmade and designed to showcase who you are as an individual. With five children at home, and two step children in Texas, Kristin, along with her husband, has faith that this business will be successful. “My husband is my biggest supporter. He takes care of the kids while I’m downstairs sewing. He enjoys the quiet. I’m loud,” laughs Kristin. She says her kids help keep her motivated by encouraging her to attend events like First Fridays in downtown Canton. It also helps that they like to have their own bags!

TENNIS COLUMNIST: AMY PAZAHANICK Win More Than “Best Food” at Your Next Match by Amy Pazahanick
The leaves are beginning to change color, which can only mean one thing: FALL ALTA! And, in north metro Atlanta, we live in a tennis mecca. Thousands of ladies, men, and junior players are in the midst of their seasons. As players prepare to take to the court for their next match, keep in mind some of these tips I have compiled over ten years of professional teaching.
Top Three Mental Tips
1. If you are on a losing streak in a match, slow down or even stop completely! It is crucial if you are losing or have lost several points in a row that you slow down, re-group and change the momentum. Clearly, momentum is against you. If you continue to play fast or without a pause, you are certain to continue losing points. You have time in between points and on change overs, so use this to your advantage. Think of a football kicker who has a chance to kick the winning field goal. What does the opposing team usually do? They call a time out, and so should you.
28
October • November 2013
2. If you are winning, you can play as fast as you would like. At this point in the match, you have the momentum so keep it moving. If you get on a losing streak, revert back to tip 1. 3. Make a “Mental Notebook.” I constantly encourage my players to make mental notebooks. A mental notebook is a moment-by-moment awareness check in which you are constantly evaluating what is working and what isn’t. “Did we just win the point off of a lob?” “Did I just lose the point because I hit it directly to the net lady?” “Does my opponent miss every time I hit them a short backhand?” It sounds like common sense, but surprisingly few players truly stop and think about what is working or not working for them. The problem is not a lack of common sense. The problem is a lack of awareness. Be aware of your shots and make a mental notebook.
Top Three Physical Tips
1. Hit balls in. You might be laughing out loud at the obvious; but, the quickest way to lose a match is to be inconsistent, hitting some in and some out every game. You must keep enough balls in play. Consistency is the number one
Expires 11/15/13
Expires 11/15/13
priority to compete well in ALTA. Keep hitting the ball in and eventually your opponent will hit one out. Power is no good without consistency. 2. End points at the net. It is much easier to end points from the net than from the baseline. Most of the time players do not take enough opportunities to end points at the net. Players need to take a very proactive stance at the net and actively look to go get balls to end points. It is not enough to only end points when the ball happens to come to you. You must engage. If you are not being passed down the line, you are not poaching enough. How do I know if my poaching (net ending capacities) are working or not? Revert to mental tip #3… if you are winning more points than you are losing (even by one) by your current behavior, continue on! 3. Breathe. No seriously, breathe. If your muscles are tense (a result of short breathing), your strokes will be as well. You cannot hit strokes cleanly and to your full potential with tense muscles. Breathing allows your muscles to stay loose and for you to hit the shots you are capable of hitting. Breathing can also help you stay calm and in the moment. A common
Expires 11/15/13
mistake that most players make before competition is to think they need to get “jacked” up. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Players need to get centered, focused, determined, and calm. You have to be in control of your mind and your body when you compete to be in your ideal performance state. The late Arthur Ashe used to always say that the best way to compete is to be physically loose and mentally tight. I hope that these tips will lead you to a fruitful ALTA season! Rock on, calmly.

VETERINARY COLUMNIST: JENNIFER FERRELL, DVM
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Did you know that your pets get breast cancer, too? In fact, it is
three times more common in dogs than in people. In dogs and cats, breast cancer is called “Mammary Cancer”. Mammary (Breast) Cancer in Dogs is most common in older female dogs that have not been spayed. One in four older intact dogs will get mammary cancer. It is one of the most common types of cancer in dogs. The first sign is a lump along the dog’s “mammary chain”. There are about 5 pairs of nipples in the mammary chain, which runs from near the armpits down to the groin. The tumor can be as small as a non-painful firm pea, or can involve multiple nodules or large lumps. Sometimes there are ulcerations on the mass, or even discharge from the nipple. It is most common for tumors to develop lower on the mammary chain, near the legs. Just like with people, early detection is very important. When the mass is less than 3 cm in diameter, there is a much greater chance that surgery will cure her. If it is larger than 3 cm, or has already spread to her lymph nodes or chest (seen on x-rays), then her prognosis is not as good, but surgery may still be the best option for her. Doing regular checks for any lumps on your dog will help catch problems early on. Your veterinarian should evaluate a mass on 36 October • November 2013
her mammary chain right away, before it gets a chance to grow larger. Knowing the type of tumor is also important. Before surgery to remove the tumor, your veterinarian will do a biopsy (remove a small piece of the mass) to help determine if it is benign or malignant. About 50% of the tumors are “benign”, which means it will not spread to other areas of the body, and surgery can be curative. The other 50% are “malignant”, which means they can spread to the lungs, lymph nodes, liver or elsewhere. Your veterinarian will submit another biopsy of the tumor after it is removed to make sure that all of it was taken out. Knowing what type of tumor she has will help you make the best decisions for her care. Chemotherapy or radiation treatments are sometimes used after surgery as a treatment for malignant mammary cancer, but so far studies have not shown that it will help her live longer. It may still be a good option to improve her quality of life. Your veterinarian or veterinary oncologist will be able to help you make the best choices for her. Keeping your dog lean is one way to help prevent mammary cancer. Studies showed that overweight dogs are more likely to get mammary cancer, especially if they are obese before they are one year old. For many years, veterinarians have recommended that the best protection you can give your dog against getting mammary cancer is to have
her spayed (ovariohysterectomy) before her first heat. This is still true for most dogs, but if you are planning on breeding your dog or if your dog is one of the breeds that may benefit from delayed spaying, it is important to talk it over with your veterinarian to decide what is best for your dog. Mammary (Breast) Cancer in Cats is less common than in dogs, but is still one of the most common cancers that cats get. Unfortunately, close to 90% of the mammary cancers in cats are malignant. These tumors are very aggressive and spread to the lungs or surrounding areas very quickly. Most cats are about 10-12 years old. Treatment for mammary cancer in cats involves extensive surgery. Taking a biopsy of the mass before surgery and having x-rays taken of her chest to make sure the tumor hasn’t spread will help your veterinarian decide what type of surgery she needs. Unlike in dogs, “lumpectomy” is not usually helpful because anatomy of the cat’s mammary chain is different. Usually the entire mammary chain is removed, even for small tumors. If biopsy confirms that the tumor is malignant, chemotherapy has been shown to help cats live longer.
her armpits down to her groin. Ulcerated lesions and nipple discharge are common. Your veterinarian should evaluate any lump right away. With surgery, if the tumor is less than 2 cm in diameter she may live an average of 3 years. Cats with tumors between 2-3 cm in diameter live about 2 years, but cats with tumors > 3 cm in diameter are more likely to die within the year. Prevention of mammary tumors in cats is clear: spay her before her first heat. This reduces the chance of her getting this deadly cancer. You can still protect her if you spay her before her second heat, but after that she has lost that advantage. Please remember your cats and dogs during this important Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Early detection and prevention can help protect your four-legged friends, too. JF
Like with dogs and people, early detection is very important in cats. Be sure to check your cat regularly for lumps all along her mammary chain. Cats can get mammary cancer anywhere from

millennials
NEW COLUMNIST: Kali Hawlk Those of us born between 1980
and 2000 are known as the millennial generation, and despite the fact it is impossible to accurately describe an entire generation of people with a handful of adjectives, a variety of writers and researchers have labeled today’s twenty- and thirty-somethings as entitled, spoiled, lazy, and narcissistic. As a millennial myself, I balk at these labels and I imagine my peers do the same. That is because we are also highly educated and concerned about the well-being of others. We are hardworking, innovative, and have the ability to quickly understand new technology. Millennials are smart, ambitious, and determined. We must be all these things and more if we are to overcome the challenges we are currently faced with; in order to succeed in a weak economy and begin careers in a bleak job market, we have to be resourceful, creative, and tenacious. Given these characteristics in combination with what we experienced in our formative years, it is no surprise that more and more millennials are interested in becoming fiscally responsible and financially secure. We grew up in boom times, but as adults all we have known is bust. As we transitioned from children to adults, we saw our elders swamped by consumer credit card debt and we witnessed the stock market annihilate retirement funds and nest eggs. Bad timing put us in the workforce just as the housing market collapsed, taking the economy with it. As a whole, millennials have already experienced a radical shift in thinking when it comes to careers; most of us want meaning in our work rather than money. Even so, starting salaries and wages in careers that used to provide fat paychecks are now lower and raises that keep pace with inflation are unlikely. We must 38
October • November 2013
cover expenses, pay off debt, and save for retirement with smaller and smaller incomes. Because of what we witnessed and what we have experienced ourselves, we are determined to stretch our dollars and live well on less. Millennials are uniquely equipped to handle this challenge because we have seen the consequences of amassing loads of debt, borrowing more money than can be paid back, and failing to live within one’s means. Most of us are resolutely trying to spend less and save more so we may avoid the same financial trouble encountered by older generations obsessed with consumerism. It was difficult to come of age during the Great Recession, but it was a tremendous learning opportunity. Because we fully understand the importance of guarding against the financial mistakes that were made in the past, the millennial generation will be at the front of any movement that leads society back to a common sense approach to finance our society forgot about during the last couple decades. We hope you join us as we bring back a more sensible way of thinking about money that begins with valuing experiences and relationships over acquiring more material possessions, that requires less to be happy and fulfilled, and most importantly, teaches us to live within our means.

GOLF COLUMNIST: BILL BARKLEY
MASTER PGA TEACHING PROFESSIONAL
A Technique for Meeting the Ball Squarely Golfers have little difficulty
squaring the clubface with the target at address, but have extreme difficulty squaring the clubface through impact. During the swing, if the clubface is open in relation to the path of the swing through impact, the ball spins to the right, a trajectory referred to as a fade or slice. If the clubface is closed in relation to the path of the swing through impact, the ball spins to the left, a trajectory referred to as a draw or hook. A ball that spins to the right or left of a target may end in the rough, a sand trap, or water, causing an over par score, whereas a ball with the same amount of spin that spins away from a hazard toward the target can reward a player with a par or birdie. Controlled sidespin, to the left or right, may actually improve scoring. For example, aligning the path of a tee shot down the left or right side of a fairway, while aligning the clubface square to the middle of the fairway with the intent to produce a controlled draw or fade, can result in 46 October • November 2013
by Bill Barkley
hitting more fairways than aligning the path and the clubface down the middle in an attempt to hit the ball perfectly straight. If the flight of the ball spins to the right or left when aligning the path down the middle of a fairway, there is only one-half of the width of the fairway to spin the ball into, whereas by aligning the path down the left or right side, a controlled spin to the right or left has the entire width of the fairway to spin the ball into. The result is that a player hits more fairways in regulation by aiming down the right or left side of the fairway with controlled spin. The same applies to hitting more greens or pin positions in regulation. For example, if the pin is on the left side of the green, aiming at the pin and trying to hit a straight shot leaves little room for error if the ball spins to the left. Rather, aim toward the right side of the green and close the clubface towards the pin and you will have the whole width of the green to spin the ball towards the pin and will be less likely to
spin the ball completely off the green. Increase your odds at keeping the ball on the fairway and on the green and you will improve your scores. When hitting full shots, if the clubface meets the ball square to the target through impact, the ball will go straight if the path of the club head is on the target line, or spin towards the target if the path of the club head is outside-in or inside-out. Therefore, meeting the ball square in order to move the ball towards the target, regardless of swing path, is the ultimate objective. The key to meeting the ball square more consistently is better controlled by the rotation of the body, rather than with the rotation of the hands. Control the position of the clubface by pressing the wrists forward at address, and continue pressing the wrists forward through impact. Move the club back and forth by simply rotating the hips, arms and shoulders on a constant plane and as a unit. In order to feel what is meant by that, hold the
club in front of you, and simply rotate the body back and forth so that the shaft remains perpendicular with the shoulders. Ideally the clubface remains square to the target line with the rotation of the body, rather than opening or closing the clubface with the hands. As the body swings forward with a shift of weight, the clubface should remain square beyond impact. Beyond impact, the clubface turns to the left as the turn of the body makes a complete follow-through. Press the hands forward through impact and keep the clubface square to the path of the swing with a rotation of the body, rather than with a rotation of the hands, and you will hit the ball longer and straighter!

the Scariest Haunted House On This Side of the Etowah River In the spring of 1941, Talmadge Brothers Funeral Home and Casket Company was opened by brothers Lee and Charles Talmadge. Cremation became more popular in the 1950s. So, the brothers installed two furnaces in 1958. But on a cold autumn night in 1966, Charles Talmadge was brutally murdered by his brother in one of the parlor’s offices. And shortly afterward their nephew Neville-who managed their facility 10 miles to the north in Jasper, in a fit of anger murdered his fiancé Constance (the daughter of the local fire chief). Constance slumped against the desk, her eyes slowly closing as the life ran out of her body. When Neville had realized what he had done, he screamed in horror, then turned the gun on himself. Local legend says that Constance haunts Talmadge Brothers North, lives within the mirrors of Talmadge Brothers, beckoning all who enter to join her on the other side. Strange happenings have been witnessed around the building and grounds of Talmadge Brothers North. New Additions for 2013 include a “Kids Event” on October 12th from 2-4pm with trick or treating and ‘way less scary;’ “The Desecrated Chapel,” “The Cemetery,” “The Caretaker’s Shack,” “The Horde,” and “Colossal Constance!” And, Zombie Paintball! 2013 Nights of Operation: Oct. 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31.

FAITH COLUMN: POLLY BALINT The Lord sets prisoners free. Psalm 146:7
There’s more than one kind of prison cell here on earth. Our sin can be our prison cell, especially when shame and guilt are our roomies. When we don’t know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we truly are prisoners of our own unbelief. It’s a horrible, hopeless bondage of emotional, mental, addictive, violent private prisons. Only God can change all that in an instant. It’s called repentance: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). He begins to change our desires. All of a sudden we want to love Him and follow Him and do what is right. We want to break the addictive, destructive patterns. Freedom! No more guilt and shame! But until then we are darkness dwellers shackled with tormenting fear and gripped with anxiety. We won’t call upon Him to pull us out of this swamp of sorrow and defeat. Oh, we can pretend for a while that life is good, but no one can keep that performance up too long if we have no anchor in our lives. Without Christ, as soon as a storm enters our lives, our “I’m fine” mask comes off and utter despair is what’s underneath our masks. When that’s exposed we either become extremely bitter and
angry at our condition or we cry out to Jesus and He turns our “wailing into dancing…removes our sackcloth… and clothes us with joy” (Psalm 30:11). He gives us freedom to live out our lives in fullness and joy because we know He will hold on to us. We discover for ourselves that “where the Spirit of God is there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17). A child of God is set free! No more imprisonment of a guilty conscience. The blood of Jesus on the cross pays once and for all and the recipient is free to live for God and receives all the promises written down in the Bible. Eternal damnation is replaced with eternal life. Wow! Jesus came to “proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners…” (Isaiah 61:1). No matter what our condition, Jesus Christ is the one who opens our prison doors and breaks our chains – both visible and invisible. No one else can do that. That’s when it’s time to freely praise Him with dance!
