Change is Coming for Recycling Center Government looking to cut cost; Petitions seek to restore services By Daniel Bell The Newswire Editor danielbell@romenewswire.com Deborah Malone pulled into the Rome-Floyd County Recycling Center lot Wednesday morning to drop off a few bags of discarded material that will never end up in a landfill. That, she says, is why she brings her recyclables to the Watters Street location. That’s also why she signed a petition that is making the rounds in Rome and Floyd County aimed at telling members of the Solid Waste Commission that the signers would be willing to pay 50 cents extra per month on their property taxes to fund the center and its programs. The petition began with Marta Turner, the former manager of the recycling center who retired Dec. 12, 2008. She fears the members of the Rome-Floyd Solid Waste Commission might turn the center into a transfer station, thereby eliminating public drop off, commercial pickup, and other recycling programs. On average, about 100 vehicles drive through the lot to drop of recycling every day. Turner believes if people were no longer allowed to bring materials there, the six county remote sites and the city curbside pickup would not pick up the slack. Rome City Commissioner Kim Canada says the petition, which had 2,500 signatures as of Wednesday morning, is misleading and that the commission never intended to close the facility, but rather streamline the operation and its programs and make it more efficient. “I think there’s been a misconception from Day 1. We have not discussed closing the center,” said Canada, who said he thinks people are signing the petition because they are being told the recycling center is going to be closed. “That’s absolutely a non-truth.” Canada explained that the Solid Waste Commission weighed the outcome of closing the center — including an increased burden on local landfills — and quickly threw that option out the window. Turner said she feels like her ideas for preserving the center as is, and restoring some programs that were cut to save money, were never given a chance by

She said they seem eager to do something, but less eager to sit down and talk about it with concerned citizens. Canada pointed out that the Solid Waste Commission meetings are open to the public, and that the recycling center is on the agenda for the June 23 meeting. That’s when Turner plans to present her petitions. “One of the volunteers said to me, ‘It’s really easy to get people to sign. They just don’t know about the situation,’” said Turner. Some of the cost-saving measures enacted recently include a reduction in open hours at the center (it’s now closed on Wednesdays and Saturdays), a cutback in the buy-back program, and the elimination of the manager position (no one was hired to replace Turner when she retired). Canada said the cost-cutting measures are just part of the process of making the recycling center more efficient. He said the commission has invited private companies to submit proposals for operating the facility and its programs, or even just part of the overall operation.

The idea, he explained, isn’t to shutter the operation, but to make it better and less costly for taxpayers. “For me to ask taxpayers for more money to operate a center that was inefficient is ludicrous. There’s no other way to put it,” said Canada, noting that there are still companies sending in proposals and that the Solid Waste Commission intends to consider lots of ideas. Turner hopes her idea to add 50 cents per month, less that the price of a soda she says, to the property tax to fund the center is one of the ideas considered. “If we get enough signatures maybe they’ll says ‘It’s not just Martha and a bunch of tree-huggers,” said Turner. But she’s facing some stiff opposition. “I don’t care if they come with 6,000 signatures,” said Canada. “(Raising taxes) is the easy way out. It’s not good business.” County Commissioners Irwin Bagwell and Chad Whitefield, who are also on the Solid Waste Commission, agreed that while raising taxes might fix the funding issue, it would not make the recycling process more efficient. Said Whitefiled via e-mail Wednesday

evening: “The current proposal to increase property taxes by $6.00 per year solves a funding crisis, but it does not solve an efficiency issue. It also does not answer any of the questions concerning future operations, program success, innovation, or accountability. I do not believe in throwing more money at a problem without a plan to make sure the money is actually being used properly and that the end product is better.” Bagwell said he believes the center and its programs can be made more efficient and stable while also cutting costs: “The goal is to cut costs — not the program. Simply raising taxes will not solve the problem of excessive expenses now occurring. I’m sure that after all the proposals are reviewed and discussed we will have a greater recycling program that is run with less tax money.” Malone, meanwhile, says she and others she has spoken to would gladly pay an extra $6 per year if it means keeping their recyclables out of the garbage. “I am very, very concerned. That’s why I signed. I would be willing to pay more,” she said.

A tradition of caring.

New clinic offers women care, understanding By Daniel Bell The Newswire Editor danielbell@romenewswire.com Marilyn Ringstaff answered a ringing phone recently at the Women of W.O.R.T.H Inc. health care clinic to hear an uninsured 16-year-old girl on the line asking for help. The girl, a local high school student with little parental care, thought she has contracted a sexually transmitted disease, but the health department told her it would be a month before they could test her and that it would cost $150. Ringstaff told the teenage to come by later than afternoon and she could test her for $20, and explained after hanging up the phone that the state lab does not charge public health care facilities or non-profits for such tests. “That’s why we opened the clinic,” said Ringstaff. “We just want to provide good quality health care without ripping people off. We don’t have to make a profit.” Women of W.O.R.T.H. (Women’s Organization for Reproductive and Total Health Care) officially open it’s doors in February of this year, but Ringstaff, who not only runs the place but is the sole medical employee, went to work in Ghana during the month of March. She said they only started seeing patients in late March, and have provided affordable care to about 20 women so far.

Photo by Daniel Bell Marilyn Ringstaff operates the Women of W.O.R.T.H. clinic on Dean Avenue. “We’re trying to get started very slowly until we get more volunteers,” she said. Open Fridays and Saturdays at 1513 Dean Ave. (the house shares a driveway with a State Farm office), the clinic provides an array of services, including health screenings, Pap smears, birth control medications, STD testing and treatment, pregnancy testing, pre-pregnancy counseling, and medical followups for victims of sexual assualt. The service Ringstaff is particularly proud of, however, is the ability to follow up on abnormal Pap smears. Among all of the donated equipment in her office and exam rooms is the colposcope, which

allows Ringstaff to exam the cervix. This sort of follow-up exam usually costs between $600 and $800. “We can do it for less than $100,” said Ringstaff. The house on Dean Street is the home of two other non-profits as well — the Domestic Violence Task Force and the International Cervical Cancer Foundation, which provides free cancer screenings in Peru — and Ringstaff is involved in all three. The clinic is only open two days a week right now because of the small number of volunteers and because Ringstaff says she has to work to support it. She works

at Trion Medical Center two days a week, the Feminst Women’s Health Center in Atlanta one day, and the Atlanta Legal Aid Society one day before coming home to Rome and the clinic for two days. In addition to being a registered nurse and midwife Ringstaff also has a juris doctorate, meaning she only needs to take and pass the bar to become a lawyer. When asked why she felt the need to open the clinic Ringstaff pointed to the high rates of teen pregnancy, STDs and cervical cancer in Georgia and explained that preventation and care could be better in this state. “Health care for women in Georgia is abysmal,” she said. Moments later, as if to prove her point, the phone rings and a 16-year-old girl with nowhere else to go asks for help getting tested. Ringstaff says she can get the girl discounted medication if she needs it, another perk for public health and nonprofit facilities. She also notes that the clinic can process Medicaid biling and provide free birth control samples when available. Women of W.O.R.T.H is open for new patients, and volunteers who want to work there too, and can be contacted at 706-232-3408. They also have a temporary Web site online here. Said Ringstaff, “They just need to call us. I’ve been in Rome for 20 years, so I know there’s a need.”

OPINION

We tend to focus on food for all the wrong reasons. We turn to food for comfort; we turn to food out of boredom; we turn to food unconsciously, grabbing the closest, easiest, quickest thing handy to eat. And notice I said “thing” to eat, not food. What passes for food is far from what could accurately be called food. We have a love-hate relationship with food. We tend to think of food only in terms of the number of calories or fat grams it contains. Or the sugar grams, or the fiber grams, or the sodium mg, or the trans fatty acid grams if we are paying more attention to our health. But food is ever so much more. This is the season to start appreciating the bounty of beautiful foods available to us. All around are the vibrant artful colors of health. In the rich red of the tomatoes (there is a new black tomato variety available now with triple the powerful antioxidants of the red tomato), the jeweled red of watermelon flesh, the rainbow of greens and reds in baby salad greens, the delicate greens of spring peas, the yellows of corn and squash, the earthy whites of spring onions and garlic, the purples of plums and eggplants, the succulent orange of cantaloupes, the rich juicy reds of strawberries. It is no accident that foods, real foods, have been the subject of so many artists. They are simply beautiful – food for the soul as well as the body. And it is in these colors that the value of our food lies. The nutrients – vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and compounds yet to be discovered, are in the color pigments. You don't have to be a PhD to eat healthfully. You just need to follow your eyes, your visual pleasure. The more color pigment, the more nutritious and life building the food. Always go for the color.

Not only does this color bring pleasure and beauty to your plate and soul, but it also brings with it major health building and sustaining molecules. Many foods have been shown to play a major role in preventing cancer for example. We know that cancer cells exist in every one of us pretty much all the time. The difference as to whether or not our bodies are eventually overwhelmed with these cancer cells lies in our immune system and its ability to protect us. The nutrients that we provide to our bodies through the food we eat provide our immune system with what it needs to protect us. There is tons of information available about foods and cancer prevention. The truth is any food rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants will help guard us from many debilitating diseases, not just cancer. And every time we can avoid chemicals, pesticides, and additives in our foods, that is that much less our bodies have to deal with and can therefore turn its attention to building health instead of dealing with an overload of chemicals and additives. Here is an example of the superstar foods, just to get you started: Beans – dry or canned – are loaded with fiber and minerals and phytonutrients. Research has shown they may help reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence in postmenopausal women. Research has also shown they help protect against colon and stomach cancer. Broccoli is high in sulforaphane, a phytochemical which helps fight carcinogens; is rich in indole-3 -carbinol, an antioxidant which has been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Broccoli sprouts have these phytochemicals in high concentrated levels. If you are interested in sprouting your own broccoli seeds, make sure

By Janice Holley Houck you purchase seeds intended for sprouting, those sold for growing are often treated with chemicals. Carrots are high in antioxidants that have been associated with a lower risk of bladder, cervix, prostate, colon, larynx, and esophageal cancer, as well as postmenopausal breast cancer. Get those little baggies of baby carrots and keep it handy for snacking (skip the dips). Red or purple grapes are powerhouses of resveratrol, an antioxidant that has been shown to inhibit growth of cancer cells, specifically breast, stomach, colon, and leukemia; as well as powerful anti-aging benefits. Lemons contain a group of chemicals called limonoids, which have been shown to protect against breast, lung, skin, and colon cancer. Mushrooms, especially shiitake, are chock full of betaglucans, which stimulate your body's production of cancer fighting natural killer cells. Cranberries are high in an antioxidant that has been shown in studies to fight leukemia, breast, lung, and colon cancer cells. The list could go on and on. Just remember that all of these foods build immunity and health and fight disease. Don't worry about the specifics of which food fights which cancer. Studies are always ongoing and one study often contradicts another. Don't get bogged down in the details. As I said above, you do not need a college degree to be healthy or to chose heathy foods. Just remember to go for the color! Here’s to happy, healthy living!

John Moon: Ask the handyman Dear John: My refrigerator seems to run almost all the time, and doesn’t feel as cold as it used to. Can you suggest anything I could check or do before just buying a new one? D. R. Dear D. R.: A refrigerator is one of the things most of us completely take for granted, and assume it never needs any maintenance. Unfortunately, it does! Refrigerators are fantastic dust magnets because a lot of air is circulated through them.. Over a period of time, dust can build up on the condenser coil to the point that it reduces the refrigerator efficiency and results in the symptoms you describe. Sometimes a good, thorough cleaning can make them work almost like new again. Depending on the design of the refrigerator, the condenser coil can look like a black wire grate type thing and be mounted on the back of the refrigerator or underneath it. If cleaning it is something you want to

tackle, you’ll need to slide the refrigerator out so you can get to the back of it. In doing that, be careful if you have an icemaker water line connected and also don’t forget to unplug the refrigerator just for safety reasons. After doing that, remove the front and back panels that are near the bottom if it has them. Then, using a vacuum and a brush, clean all the dust you can from any parts on the bottom and the back. Sometimes after the first vacuuming, you can reverse the vacuum and blow some additional dust out. Most of the refrigerator components, including the condenser, are built fairly rugged, but use reasonable care in poking and prodding around them. After that, install the panels and slide the refrigerator back in place. Always leave a couple of inches between it and the wall so air can circulate.
