Mitchell McTier, brother of Madeline McTier, has made some significant progress this week following a serious skiing accident last week in Colorado, according to his mother, Jennifer. McTier initially sustained multiple injuries following his accident, including a basilar skull fracture, a broken rib, several broken bones in his neck and a bruised lung. “We finally got him off the ventilator,” said Jennifer. “He’s moving and answering some questions. He knows his name, his date of birth and can say our names. Some of it’s a little jumbled but that kind of relates to the accident.” Mitchell has also responded to touch on the right side of his face, which is also a positive sign against paralysis. However, doctors felt it was necessary to give Mitchell a feeding tube this week because of his inability to “wake up.” “It’s difficult to explain,” said Jennifer. “He can talk to you but he keeps his eyes closed. At first they thought it was sedation but he just hasn’t opened his eyes yet. We’re kind of waiting on Mitchell McTier that.” Mitchell's progress this week appears promising. Now the McTiers are waiting to see if their insurance will pay for the required air ambulance in order to transport Mitchell from Colorado back to Georgia. Jennifer is hopeful for a decision from United Healthcare soon. “If they won’t pay for it, then I’ll just have to stay here and go to Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver,” Jennifer said. “It’s a top-notch facility but it would really be nice to be able to come home.” So far, the McTiers have seen over 20 visitors, checking in on the family and offering their support. Many of these visitors the family has never met before. “The hospital staff is laughing because they’re like, “you don’t even live here,” but it’s amazing how a friend knows a friend who lives out here and offers their help.

Coweta gears up for Relay for Life By Bradley Hartsell bradley@newnan.com
Accord i ng to Steph a n ie Martin, nearly everyone you meet has been affected by cancer in some way, either directly, through a loved one, or through a friend. Relay for Life is a fundraising event conceived and organized by the American Cancer Society to celebrate survivors of cancer and to raise funds for research. May 2 marks the annual Relay for Life of Coweta County event. Stephanie Martin, Piedmont Newnan Hospital’s nurse navigator, is the survivor coordinator at this year’s Relay. This is Martin’s first year serving on the board of Relay for Life of Coweta County, and Martin says she’s eager to tackle an event close to her heart. Matin has become active in cancer awareness in her Coweta community since the death of her husband, who succumbed to brain cancer. “As the survivor chair, I’m in charge of making sure our survivors are having fun and being celebrated,” Martin said. “Relay for Life is my whole world right now. I love it.” Since its inception in 1985, Relay for Life has expanded to include 5,200 events per year.
Coweta County boasts the largest event in the southeast, and Martin takes pride in her community and its support in the fight against cancer. “I think the community has really gotten behind Relay for Life. I have friends in other counties who report that similar events in their communities are fun, but not really a big deal,” she said. “I think it is the dynamic people of Coweta that lend to the hometown feeling. Last year, we kept running into people from our schools and our jobs and churches.” From 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., the Coweta County Fairgrounds takes on the look, as Martin describes it, of a county fair. With tents, vendors, games and family entertainment all over the grounds, Martin says Relay for Life is a time for celebrating and enjoying the community. “This is the one place where everybody can come together equally,” said Martin. “You can be going through treatment and you can be walking next to somebody who’s been there and done that and can be your support. It’s all about celebrating life.” Martin says the catchphrase for the event is, “Why do you relay?” “You don’t just relay for the

heck of it. Everybody has reason,” she said. Martin feels a great responsibility to take care of the 160 breast cancer patients she will coordinate at the event, but ultimately, the reason she is there is for her husband.
Martin especially appreciates the physical gesture of remembrance. “I love having a way of putting my husband’s name on

INTERVIEW WITH A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
Hiding in plain sight By Clay Neely clay@newnan.com
The title of “private investigator” is often synonymous with images of a fedora-wearing, cigarette-smoking gumshoe of Hollywood noir. Or maybe it’s the man with a three-day-old beard and binoculars – the floorboard of his car littered with empty boxes of takeout food and coffee cups – endlessly waiting for his subject to appear. Thanks to these preconceived notions, Coweta resident and private investigator Katherine Wainscott enjoys a higher level of anonymity than many of her male counterparts in the field. While Wainscott feels she may be working in a “boys club,” it certainly hasn’t held her back from doing what she loves. If anything, it’s given her a leg up. “As a female, we’re maybe 1 percent of the investigative force,” Wainscott said. “It’s usually ex-FBI, ex-police in the field. It is a common progression many of them take. Many retire, get tired of the monotony and eventually become private investigators. As a female, I feel I have a certain niche.” A child of the armed forces, Wainscott grew up in West Germany before moving to the United States when she was 17. Prior to her career as a private investigator, she worked as an assistant in a chiropractor’s office, and later, as an international ticketing agent at Delta. No matter what she was doing though, Wainscott was a constant student of human behavior. While employed at Delta, Wainscott attended a g un show. It was there that she approached a salesman advertising “how to be a private investigator.” “I’d been snooping my entire life,” she said. “I’m the youngest of four, and was always going through my older sisters’ stuff. It felt like a natural progression for me.” In 2003, after completing the required 400 hours needed
Local private investigator Katherine Wainscott will probably see you long before you see her.
for the class, Wainscott began working for a variety of companies, never really thinking about venturing out on her own. “The insurance, the certifications — it takes quite a leap of faith to go out on your own,” Wainscott said. But, in 2006, the detective founded and incorporated Blood hound Investigative Services. During her f irst year of working independently, Wainscott devoted nearly every waking moment to her new business. She often worked 14-hour days across the state, solely pursuing workers comp cases. “After a year, I had to reel it back it in, but it taught me a lot,” she said. “It’s the typical ‘school of hard knocks’ story. You can’t learn this in textbooks. It takes trial and error and every situation is different. You learn how to adapt because you’ll never make it if you don’t.” Inf idelity, workers comp fraud, skip tracing and background checks – Wainscott en su res t h at Blood hou nd
Investigative Services is able to handle a wide variety of work. Wainscott enjoys her work so thoroughly, she alone handles the majority of cases. However, she still employs a few investigators who are licensed under her to tackle some of the additional jobs. “I have one guy who speaks Spanish. He’s kind of my wild ca rd a nd does my bounty hunting. I also have another female investigator,” Wainscott said. “It’s always good to have people you can choose from for every situation.” Wa i n scot t h a s t raveled across the country for her business, including a memorable trip to Las Vegas, hunting a spouse that was suspected of infidelity. “The subject I was tracking was staying at one of the big hotels on the strip. As he hopped into a departing taxicab, I jumped into the next one in line and shouted, ‘Follow that cab!’ It was so cliche. I couldn’t believe that I just said that, especially in Las Vegas of all places,” she said. Her cab driver immediately
threw himself into the role, helping her get as close to the other taxicab as possible without being too obvious. Still, the majority of the time spent on a job is usually dry and boring – waiting hours for a door to open or for someone to show up. “But when the door does open and you see your subject — that’s when the adrenaline kicks in,” Wainscott said. “Even after ten years, you never lose that rush.” Wainscott has even found herself working on a case as far away as the Bahamas, on a mission to confirm a suspected tryst. Using her best acting skills, she managed to get an apartment with a perfect vantage point of her subject and was able to film what was going on from her room. “I told the hotelier that I had friends coming in and pleaded for a specific room. You know, maybe I added a few tears to my story,” she joked. “You do whatever it takes.” While at the resort, she was able to capture ample evidence of the affair. Equipped with a small video camera, Wainscott snapped a few pictures and emailed them immediately. No one suspected a thing. Often, Wainscott will go above and beyond to disguise hersel f, somet i mes a ltering hair, makeup and overall appearance. Which begs the question, if someone has never seen her, why the need for extra measures to stay incognito? “Just to be safe,” she said. “Some people are cautious and have done things like this before. Some are naturally more observant, while others are completely oblivious to everything around them.” Quite often, her most advantageous hiding place is in plain sight. “Restaurants, ballgames, grocery stores – there’s no way to sneak around places like that,” she said. “They’ll see

Effortless Easter Ham Family Features This year, make your Easter ham effortless by ditching the oven and using your slow cooker instead. While most people think about slow cooking for staples like chili and stew, it’s also perfect for center-of-the-plate feasts — like an Easter ham. Using t he slow cooker, you can minimize both prep time and cleanup time, leaving plenty of room in the day for church, hunting eggs and enjoying time with your loved ones. Ha m i s a t rad it ion for many families this time of year, and because it pairs well w it h a mu ltitude of ingredients, you can create a unique dish every time. For a fresh spin on the clas-
sic ham, try this Sweet Southern Slow-Cooker Ham recipe from the National Pork Board. Apple cider and bourbon (or vanilla extract, if you prefer) combine to create a rich flavor complemented by the sweetness of brown sugar. Round out your Easter menu by pairing your ham with classic sides such as oven-roasted carrots, asparagus wrapped in bacon and mashed sweet potatoes. You can also use leftover ham for flavor-packed recipes like Ham, Apple and Cheddar Crepes, which are ideal for a family-style brunch.
