Balancing the Roles of Spouse and Parent
By Jessica Hocutt, MAMFT, LAPC. Connection Family Counsel-
ing, 3138 Golf Ridge Blvd., Ste. 101, 770-364-6561
Couples face a major challenge with the birth of their first child,
adding this new role as parent to their identity. This additional
role takes time to manage and grow in, as each parent is learning
what it means to be a parent, how to take care of this new bundle
of joy, managing lack of sleep and changing schedules, and most
importantly, learning about each other as parents. Think of this
time like the first year of marriage when couples have the difficult
task of adjusting to becoming husband and wife; it’s an exciting
time, but it’s also loaded with conflicts and compromises. In the
same way, while a new baby brings joy and a sense of completion
to a family, babies also bring on a new level of conflict and stress
in a couple.
While going through this life stage, it is crucial to remember
that you now have two roles: that of a parent and a spouse. Cou-
ples who struggle through the early parenting years often have
neglected their marital relationship to focus fully on their new par-
enting roles. For every couple, achieving this balance can be
challenging and sometimes stressful.
The easier role to accomplish is often the parenting role, as
children are dependent on their parents for care. The couple role
is more often given less attention and couples can usually use as-
sistance in identifying ways to nurture this relationship. Here are
a few tips for connecting as couples throughout the child-rearing
years:
• Make time for dates. This can be when the children are asleep
or are with a relative or family friend for a couple of hours.
• Spend time reflecting on the good parts of your relationship:

what you like about each other, something funny that happened, grati-
tude to your spouse for something they did for you.
• Do something nice for your spouse. Find out what your spouse’s
love language is, then go out of your way to do something in his or
her love language.
• Have fun and laugh. Whether you are alone together or with
the kids, being playful and laughing will help keep your relationship
strong. Research has shown that if you can incorporate playfulness
and laughter into your daily communication, it is easier to bring hu-
mor into conflicts, which leads to less intense arguments and healthier
communication that helps solve problems. This ability is a hallmark of
happy, successful marriages.
Marriage
Part 3 of 3 - By Elvin Rembert
Know this; God’s time is not your time only - God knows the future.
The husband is expected by God to endure as his son did 2000 years
ago and is still doing today, after all Jesus has endured the Church for
2000 years and some change.
The scriptures tell us that the man sanctifies the wife and cleanses the
wife with the word of God. Now, if the man is not rooted and grounded
in the word of God, he can expect to receive some negative feedback
and attitude from his wife. We must understand you reap what you sow.
How can you reap something if you did not sow anything? Husbands
ask yourself these questions: Do you pray with your wife and family every
day? Do you study and meditate on God’s word daily? Or are you
caught up with the things of the world? If you can’t answer yes to both

questions you can expect some problems. Men understand, you can’t
change your wife but you can change the atmosphere in your home
because God has empowered you to do so. So if things are not going
right, check yourself and correct the problem.
The last scriptures gives a summation of both husband and wife roles
and it is very clear that there is a difference. The scripture reads as fol-
lows, “Nevertheless let every one of you particularly so love his wife even
as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband”. Again,
the husband is instructed to love and the wife to reverence. Regardless
if the husband does not love, the wife should continue to reverence, and
likewise the husband; if the wife is not reverencing the husband continues
to love.
In conclusion, we must understand that we all will be held account-
able, not based upon what someone did to us, but what we did or did
not do as it pertains to the Father.

Psychologist Corner
What to Expect from a Psychological Evalua-
tion Report
By Rebecca S. Blakeman, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
- Adolescent Child Specialty Services, 3138 Golf Ridge
Blvd., Douglasville, 404-310-1161, blakers1@aol.com.
I recently have had several friends around the country
who have had their children evaluated for conditions such as learn-
ing disabilities, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. When asked
to review the reports from their evaluations, I found several of the
same problems I often see when reviewing psychological reports,
problems which make it difficult for another professional to interpret
the results of the evaluation. This month I would like to review some
of the most common problems I see with reports, so that parents
seeking evaluations can discuss these concerns with their provider to
make sure they get the most helpful report from the evaluation; after
all, if the report is not comprehensive and clean, the evaluation has
limited value.
One frequent issue that arises is providers do not always list the
measures they use when coming to their conclusions; this is espe-
cially true if they choose to write a summary letter rather than a ‘re-
port’ of the findings. It is extremely important that all test measures,
including questionnaires, be identified in the report. Not all test
measures/questionnaires are created equally and it is essential for
other providers to know what test/questionnaire was used to reach
a specific conclusion. Likewise, it is important for the actual scores
to be included in the report. While most providers will include test
scores from intellectual and academic tests, they often omit scores
from questionnaires; again, it is not possible for other providers to
know how much confidence to put into a conclusion without those
questionnaire scores provided.
Another frequent problem I see is evaluations for learning disabili-
ties that are not comprehensive enough to identify most learning dis-
abilities. The most common tests omitted from evaluations are tests
of spelling and writing skills; however, these tests are critical, particu-
larly if a student is struggling with reading and there is a concern of
possible dyslexia. In addition, it is important that learning disability
evaluations assess real word reading, fake word reading, reading
comprehension, reading fluency, math calculations and math rea-
soning; simply testing real word reading and math calculation skills
often causes an evaluator to ‘miss’ a learning disability.
Finally, it is important that evaluation reports be comprehensive.
While working in hospital settings I often had to write very brief re-
ports, as that was all that physicians had time to read. However,
when performing evaluations in the private sector I realized that it
is critical that parents have as much information as possible in the
reports, and that the reports provide enough information for another
provider to understand how I came to my conclusions. I often read
brief reports that leave me with more questions than answers, as I
want to know why performance on a particular test was poor. For
example, was the child impulsive, did the child not understand the
directions, did the child ‘lose track’ of the directions mid-task, did the
child miss easy items but respond to correctly to more difficult items,
etc.; knowing the answers to these questions often changes the inter-
pretation of test scores, and certainly provides insight into why a child
might struggle in his/her daily activities.

From the Douglas County
School System
From Douglas County’s new Superintendent
Dr. Gordon Pritz...
It is with tremendous excitement and gratefulness that I have joined
the Douglas County School System as
its new superintendent. As I have trav-
eled the county and visited our schools
it has been thrilling to observe the ex-
cellent staff, fine students and commu-
nity support evident everywhere. This
experience has reinforced what I believe
makes a school system great.
I believe there are three critical com-
ponents that make up the necessary ele-
ments of a successful school system. The
first ingredient consists of effective and open leadership. This begins,
of course, with the School Board and the Superintendent. They must
work closely together to provide a common vision for success with
the Superintendent providing the leadership to ensure the Board’s
vision is met. A superintendent must provide the example for the rest
of the district leadership in this important element. This requires open
and effective communication, collaborative work efforts, and allowing
individuals to do the job for which they were hired. Building level lead-
ership is also part of this key ingredient. Principals must be tireless,
servant leaders willing to take risks and support the teaching staff in
their call for excellence.
The second ingredient of a successful school system is the over-
whelming presence of dedicated and high quality teachers. No great-
er factor exists in regard to high student achievement than the class-
room teacher. A school system must attract and retain the very finest
teachers through a supportive atmosphere, relevant professional de-
velopment and quality resources and benefits. These teachers must
then provide instruction in a setting that truly believes all children can,
and will, learn and be successful.
The third ingredient of a successful school system is a supportive
and involved community. This obviously includes the efforts of parents
who may be able to volunteer their time in the schools but equally
important, setting an expectation with their student toward quality
work and study. Another element of an involved community, however,
resides with the majority of the public that do not have children in
school, but expect a quality school system. These are the residents,
businesses and organizations that provide not only the monetary sup-
port, but the positive encouragement that is so essential to a quality
school system.
Finally, like any good recipe, the ingredients alone do not make for
a successful creation. The final key element that ensures these three
critical ingredients will result in a lasting, successful school district is
the existence of a culture of trust that values and pursues strong re-
lationships. This is important at all levels and with all individuals. The
challenges of the public school system today are tremendous. With
strong leadership, quality teachers and supportive community, work-
ing together in a culture of trust, success is most likely to be achieved.
It is my hope and desire to be one small part of this effort and the
ultimate continued success of our schools.
Dr. Gordon Pritz, Superintendent, Douglas County School System

Clearly Speaking
Memory Games and Strategies
By Tammy L. Velliquette, M.Ed. CCC-SLP/L,
Speech Language Pathologist and owner of Clearly
Speaking, Inc., 6472 E. Church St., www.areyou-
speakingclearly.com, 404-935-0605
Have you noticed that we have all kinds of won-
derful tools that have reduced our need to use our
memory skills? We no longer have to remember
phone numbers since they are usually stored in the cell phones most of
us now carry. We also often have a calendar on our phone that we can
use. Many people also make a list, on their phone, for their groceries.
What do we store in our brains these days? How will this affect our
brain evolution?
Most of us do store our personal information, name, date of birth,
address, passwords for accounts, etc. in our brains. Beyond that, most
people use notebooks, cell phones and other items to store this infor-
mation. In school, children are still required to remember things they
need to take to the next class, books they need to take home, etc.
Kids are required to remember class information for spelling, math,
etc. So I see the younger children being required to use their memory
skills. How do kids learn how to practice to maximize memory when
their parents are no longer a model for such skills? I remember my
mother walking around reciting phone numbers while walking to write
it down or going through the alphabet to help trigger her memory for
someone’s name. I think we could all benefit from memory games to
keep our brain active.
Some fun and easy games to play in the car, at the beach, waiting

education
for appointments, etc. are:
(1) ADD ON – This is the going to the store or going on vacation
game many of us played as children. The first person starts by saying,
“I am going to the store and am going to buy ____oranges____.” The
next person repeats what the first person and adds another item. You
continue to go around to each person until someone is unable to recall
all the items. It is ok to give clues in order to keep the game going. A
clue for grapes could be “It is a fruit.” “It is green/purple.”
(2) To work on long-term memory skills you can name three items
like a hamburger, dresser and sweater. You can tell the kids, “The ham-
burger is in the dresser on top of the sweater.” Let each person come
up with a memory cue picture or phrase. So someone else might say,
“There’s a hamburger, wearing a sweater on top of the dresser.” Write
the three items down and put them in an envelope. At the end of the
day, after a movie, swim at the pool, etc., each person has to come
up and whisper in your ear the three items in the envelope. You can
reward correct answers however you feel is appropriate.
(3) You can do immediate recall practice by practicing repeating
increasing strings. So I say 2, 6 and the listener repeats 2, 6. Then
increase to three numbers, 4, 8, 1, and so on until the person misses
3 tries at a certain level. You can practice this with numbers, letters,
categories (colors, fruits, etc.). Short-term memory tasks usually are
meant for seven to 10 items.
I am sure you can think of other fun and entertaining memory games
to play. I think with all the research showing the need to use brain cells
for brain health, it is important to incorporate some sort of memory
games into your daily living. I know there are commercial video and
computer games targeting brain health that you can also utilize. Have
a wonderful 4th of July!

DAYTRIPS ALONG THE PARKWAY: A Visit to GeorGiA smokies

By D. Jay Powell / DayTripGetAways.com
As the Smoky Mountains meander through Tennessee and the Caro-
linas, the Cohuttas continue as a part of the same range as it crosses
into north Georgia. Some may call Fannin County the “Gateway to the
Smokies”, but there is a lot to be discovered in the Appalachian Foothills.
Scenic beauty awaits the photographer of every age. Majestic overlooks
offer an invitation to take a drive along country back roads that will keep
trail seekers busy for hours. Take a trip back in time when the Native
Americans roamed these parts. The earliest settlers can be traced as far
back to the decade of the 1790’s.
Major highways would have been the water routes. From the north,
settlers would have taken the Tennessee River and made their way to the
Ocoee, that later turns into the Toccoa as it crosses into Georgia. As
farmers settled this region and towns were formed, travellers were offered
small-town America nestled in the foothills. State routes have brought
tourists through the region over the decades to discover one of Georgia’s
best kept secrets. Spend a day or take an overnight trip to enjoy sce-
nic drives, roaming down the river, horseback riding, or trout fishing.
Stroll along the quaint towns of Blue Ridge and McCaysville. There are
uniqueshops and restaurants downtown. Take a train ride on the Blue
Ridge Scenic Railway along the Toccoa River.
A visit to the Mercer Orchards is a must for taste buds of every age.
You will want to try their pies, jams, and jellies. Pick your own apples dur-
ing the season. Truly, you will learn why “Southern Living” will list them
as a favorite stop in the region.
Don’t forget to take a trip to the Ocoee Whitewater Center, home of
some of the 1996 Olympics, for some water recreation, walks, or a fam-
ily picnic. There are also restaurants and unique shops in nearby historic
towns of Dalton and Ellijay.

counts. Call 678-229-5400 or visit www.stevibs.com for more information.
The first thing I noticed was how relaxing it felt in there. There
are old school Coca-Cola signs on the walls and the booths seem
very private in spite of the fact that it’s in the middle of the mall. It’s
a nice break from the hustle and bustle. There is a jukebox at every
table as well.
Another thing I noticed was that it was extremely clean in there.
The owner, Amish Patel said that he has been around restaurants
since he was about 6 or 7 years old. Speaking with him, it became
apparent in pretty short order that he truly does want his customers
to have a good experience and it really showed in both the service
and the food quality.
Johnny Rockets’ menu is far more than just hamburgers and fries.
While eyeballing it, I noticed salads, hot dogs, and sandwiches as
well. My dad ordered an egg salad sandwich and said it was deli-
cious.
All of their shakes are made with Blue Bunny ice cream and there
are a lot of varieties including Orange Dreamsicle, Big Apple and
Chocolate-Peanut Butter. In addition, you can order hand dipped
floats and an assortment of desserts. They are REALLY good!
So if you haven’t given Johnny Rockets a chance lately, stop by
and relax after a long day of shopping.

ORGANIZING TIPS
Preparing for Summer Fun
By Joyce Maxwell, owner of ReJoyce N Order, Professional
Organizer and speaker. Awarded “Business Associate of the
Year for 2007” by Douglas County Chapter of the American
Business Women’s Association. 770-941-0201, www.rejoy-
cenorder.com
Each year when summer arrives we find ourselves dreaming of long
leisurely days in the sun, picnics and family fun, however if we are not
careful, before we know it the days have come and gone and we are left
with regrets of “what could’ a been.”
We must turn those dreams into concrete plans. Without plans things
“just happen.” As the old saying goes, “If you fail to plan you can plan to
fail”, so set aside some time as a family, discuss ideas, decide which ones
you want to accomplish and then put them on your calendar. Without this
kind of planning, one day becomes two, two days become three etc. etc.
I have a friend who works really hard all year so that when summer
comes she can “play”. Summers for her are all about making memories
with her grandkids, so each week is filled with trips to the movies or Clin-
ton farms for a picnic, going swimming and coming to her house to spend
the night. None of this would happen without careful planning, however.
Maybe your plans include entertaining. After deciding who, when and
where: keep the rest simple. Choose one or two items you cook really
well, then finish with things you can pick up at the deli. Just remember
that long after the food has been forgotten people will remember how
welcomed you made them feel.
Set aside a special place for all your entertaining pieces. If you can’t
designate a whole cabinet, just choose one or two shelves inside a cabi-
net so entertaining is an easy process.
Make a habit of creating lists. Use the computer to make lists of the
items you need for the things you do often. This dramatically reduces the
chances of you forgetting something and it makes it easier for everyone to
help in the “getting ready” process. Make one
list for items that you need to take to the pool
and put it in your pool bag, another for items
you need for a picnic to keep in the picnic
basket, or you could do what works for me
and get a notebook with dividers for all your
“master lists” and keep them together.
Memories don’t have to cost money, in fact
my daughter recently told me one of her fa-
vorite memories of summer was “tea pop-
sicles” made in the old Tupperware Pop-
sicle maker. (Some of you may still have
yours, so pull it out and use it.) The funny
thing is, I don’t even remember making
them from anything but kool-aid, but it
made a memory for her. Have a side-
walk “chalk art contest”, catch fireflies
just don’t forget to release them, wait until
dark, light candles, or better yet invest in a few
flameless candles for this purpose, and have a
picnic outdoors.
In order to live a life of “order” you must take
control of your life, if you don’t you will find your-
self constantly living in “crisis mode” and life will
control you rather than you controlling it.

Last night I spent the last few hours before sundown weeding my
vegetable garden. I am actually keeping up on the weeds pretty well
this year, even though we have been inundated with rain and they
are growing quite rapidly. Weed control, whether you are vegetable
gardening or ornamental gardening, is a huge task any year and pro-
duces an abundant amount of foliage to dispose of. Why not use it
to your advantage. To turn a negative into a positive, try composting.
You will not only reduce your refuse but you will be doing a favor to
your garden.
Utilizing compost is a great method to create a humus rich garden.
You can obtain bagged compost from a local retailer, but bags are
heavy, can get expensive and have to be transported to the garden. If
you have a pickup truck, you may be able to go to the local horse farm
and buy manure, but again it will have to be hauled to your garden
site. By making compost at home you can have an endless supply of
compost to use whenever needed.
There are many good sites on the internet that describe how to com-
post and many items you have around the house are suitable to add to
the pile or bin. Weeds that have not gone to seed are a good addition.
Kitchen scraps, including coffee grinds, are wonderful and prunings
and grass clippings work great too as composting items. In the fall,
leaves can be added, but shredding them first is recommended. Dis-
ease free garden plants can be added as well. Wood ashes from your
fireplace can be added by sprinkling them lightly over the entire area.
You can even add shredded paper and cardboard. In fact, with all
that can be added to your pile, it is possible to reduce your household
garbage by about 30% through your compost pile.
Once you have a well developed composting system, you will con-
tinuously have good humus material to add to all your plantings and
you will be doing wonders for our environment.

DECORATING TIPS
Specialty Furniture for Your Home
Karen Hartley is a local interior designer and
decorator. As owner of Interiors by Decorating Den,
she has been in business for 23 years. She can be
reached at 770-459-9096.
For some time now the furniture industry has had
“functional” on the planning board. We’ve seen multifunctional
pieces, desks with built-in power and connections, sofa tables
that also serve as laptop desks, and so much more! Today I want
to share with you two very special pieces that are new introduc-
tions from the recent International Furniture Market in High Point,
North Carolina.
The first is a large desk with a hutch cabinet above. It reminds
me of the old accountant’s desks. This one is designed spe-
cifically for the scrap booker. It has places to hold paper rolls,
drawers and cubbies for all those special pieces used only in
scrapbooking. When the unit is all closed up it looks like a hutch
you might see anywhere with simple lines and a pretty maple fin-
ish. Yet the cabinet doors swing open to display bulletin boards,
the base top surface folds out to make a desktop to work on.
There’s even space for a printer in the pull-out below! It is SO
cool! I think it would make a wonderful gift wrap center too.
The second piece is a special lady’s dressing table cabinet.
It is the size of a armoire with a beautiful decorative front and
bi-fold doors that open and fold back to reveal a dressing table,
complete with the stool, lighted mirrors, and oodles of storage
for makeup and all your jewelry! And, of course, it has an electric
outlet built in for all your plug-ins. This piece was designed by
Jessica McClintock of wedding dress fame and she has included
everything you could want to have at your finger tips when get-
ting all pretty!
Check out the photos of these pieces and think about adding
a specialty piece to your own home!

PEST CONTROL TIPS
Ants Step Up Their Attacks
Provided by Nelson Cruz – Cruz Pest Control, Inc., Georgia Pest
Control Association Member, 770-920-5549, cruzpestcontrol@
comcast.net
Ants are highly successful insects that are becoming more serious
pests every year. In fact, several years ago they overtook the cock-
roach as the most important and universal household pest.
The spread of more aggressive, usually non-native ants is the
reason ants have become the #1 pest. We simply are dealing with
many more ant species now than just a couple of decades ago, and
these newer ants are much better equipped to live in our environ-
ment. These “super pest” ants even have a name—professionals
know them as tramp ants.
Tramp ants include Argentine, Pharaoh, crazy, ghost, odorous,
little fire, and white-footed ants. These species have all become
widespread around the world, and they share common character-
istics that explain why they are so “successful.” They easily adapt to
living around us, and are spread primarily through human activity.
Unlike most native ants that have only one queen in a colony,
tramp ants may have many egg-laying queens in the same colony,
which means their colonies grow quickly and become large. Each
colony can have “satellite” colonies, and these easily break off and
become entirely new colonies. Tramp ants often won’t fight ants in
other colonies if they are of the same species. In fact, they some-
times combine forces and form huge cooperating colonies. But they
will aggressively fight other ants, including native ants.
Because of the gradual spread of super pest or tramp ants, pro-
fessional ant control has become more and more important in re-
cent years.
PEST PREVENTION TIP OF THE MONTH: When landscaping,
don’t choose plants that produce an abundance of fruits, nuts,
and seeds, unless you plan to harvest them. When these drop and
rot, they attract and provide food for a variety of rodent and insect
pests.

Local Designer receives honors at Vision10

Karen Hartley of Decorating Den Interiors was the
recipient of a Second Place Award at the prestigious
2010 Envision Design and Ingenuity Workroom Com-
petition, presented by Grace McNamara, Inc, publisher
of Windows Fashion Vision magazine. The 27th annual
“best of the best” awards ceremony was the culmination of the
central competition that recognizes the industry’s best designs and
fabrications in a variety of categories.
A panel of distinguished window covering design experts re-
viewed over 150 entries received from designers and workrooms
in Japan, Canada and throughout the United States. Winners
were announced at the U.S. window-treatment industry’s only
trade show, Vision10: International Window Coverings Expo at the
Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Ga., which took place
May 12-15, 2010.
Karen’s winning window treatment is part of a room design in a
home in Carroll County. The client wanted this guest bedroom to
be elegant but not gender specific. She wanted to use her lamb

collection of wool pillows and accessories. This very traditional
home exudes that “southern hospitality” the client wanted. This win-
dow treatment is a combination using plantation shutters for privacy
and sun control and then treated decoratively with a simple drapery
with a sewn-in valance on a decorative wood pole.
“We are very excited to again have winners in this contest,” said
Sue Pelley, Director of Corporate Communications, Decorating Den

tion features a wide range of categories including wall and ceiling
treatments and commercial design.

“Libraries are not made; they grow” (Augustine Birrell)

…and a new library is growing among the trees in Fairplay!
Douglas County has been working on a new library for the southern part of Douglas County for the
past four years, and it is finally coming to fruition! Groundbreaking for the new “library in the woods” is slated
for 6:30 p.m., Thursday, September 9th, on the library construction site on the County’s Dog River property off
Georgia Highway 5, and you are all invited.

The concept for the 15,800-square foot Fairplay Library is to nest among the trees and natural
surroundings of the 900-acre Dog River property. The property borders the Dog River Reservoir, the major
drinking water source for Douglas County, and the vast majority of the site will be kept in its pristine state to
serve as a future passive park. The new library will be on the property’s western side with direct access from
Georgia Highway 5. However, the library site will be approximately 1,200 feet into the property in a peaceful
and serene setting.

The “library in the woods” concept was proposed by the project’s architects, Ponder & Ponder,
Architects, of Norcross, so that the new building would co-exist with the natural surroundings and not interfere
with the natural protected setting. Carmen Ponder, the library’s principal architect, has designed the building
to disturb as little land as possible, and to keep as many trees as possible. The parking lot will be woven
between existing trees, and existing topography will be used as much as possible. Native plants will be used
in portions of the landscape to eliminate the need for irrigation systems, and rainwater will be captured and
used as water features around the building. The outside of the library will complement the natural setting,
using stone, wood and other natural elements for the exterior surfaces.

The inside of the library will bring the outdoors to the indoors! Interior designer Renee Severson is
using a nature scheme to the different parts of the library, including blues to represent the sky and water,
greens for grass and vegetation, and muted browns for trees and clay. The furniture will be Mission style, and
the shelving and fixtures will all represent the outdoors. With lots of windows, it will be as if you are outdoors!

The library will open with 53,420 books and 6,680 multimedia items (audiobooks, cassettes, CDs, DVDs). Special
areas will include children’s and young adult areas, a dedicated computer lab, meeting rooms, and specialty
areas such as a screen-in porch with rocking chairs where library visitors can enjoy reading a book and hearing
the sounds of nature at the same time. The children’s area will feature a “story hour” oversized hearth and
decorated with the concept of “living in nature”. A community meeting room seating 100 will be available to
the public.

The Fairplay Library is being funded by a $2 million appropriation by the Georgia General Assembly
that was matched by $2 million from the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. The State support was
spearheaded by State Representative Bill Hembree, and we appreciate his efforts.

This is the first library construction in Douglas County in 25 years, the first library located south of
Interstate 20, and is a much-needed service for the residents of southern Douglas County. With the advent of
the Internet, some people thought that libraries would become obsolete, but that is not so. Library usage is at
an all-time high. In 2009, over 700,000 items were checked out from our two existing libraries on Selman
Drive behind Douglas County High School, and on Junior High Drive in Lithia Springs. These items include
books, CDs, DVDs, audiobooks and more, and people line up daily to use the computers. There were over
900,000 computer uses in 2009. Libraries have kept up with the changes in technology, and will be relevant
for many years to come.
 The library will be paid for once constructed, but it will still have to be operated and maintained, so we
are designing it with green energy-saving principles taking priority. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
concepts for sustainable design are being followed. Green construction concepts being utilized include high-
efficiency insulated windows, engineered wood components, high-efficiency light bulbs, high-efficiency HVAC
units and low water use fixtures.

Interior lighting will use “light harvesting” where lights will turn on/off automatically as needed.
Natural light from clerestory and perimeter windows will make up a significant portion of available lighting
during daylight hours. Insulation for the building is almost double the minimum standard requirement; the
roof will be heat reflective; low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint and stain will be used; and solar shading will
be over the windows. The building is also physically oriented northwest-southeast to utilize the light, but not
receive the heat.

When we received the State funding, we surveyed residents of Fairplay, and they told us they wanted
a library that reflected its surroundings, that provided children’s programming, that contained computers, and
that had a community meeting room, as well as traditional library services. This is what we have designed,
and we are excited about it!

We need your continued participation! A new Friends of the Fairplay Library will soon be forming to
lend priceless support through volunteer hours, collecting book donations, and gathering local memorabilia for
display in the library lobby, among other activities. A Friends of the Fairplay Library organizational meeting
will be held Thursday, July 22nd, at 6:30 p.m. in the gym/activity center of New Covenant United Methodist
Church, 5960 Georgia Highway 5. We will also have display boards there to show you the interior and exterior
design of the new library. Please join us!

The seeds have been planted, and soon a “library in the woods” will grow in Fairplay!

Best wishes,

THOUGHTS FROM the pros and cons of permitting Sunday sales. Some people talked

THE MAYOR
Each month Douglasville’s Mayor, Mickey
Thompson writes a column about a subject which
is of interest to many residents of Douglasville,
and Douglas County. The city of Douglasville’s
website is: www.ci.douglasville.ga.us. Mayor’s
Email: thompsonm@ci.douglasville.ga.us
It is my pleasure each month to write a column
for readers of the Chapel Hill News and Views. As you can see, the
title of my column is “Thoughts from the Mayor.” Well, this month,
I want to share my thoughts on alcohol beverage service hours in
restaurants located within the City of Douglasville.
When I was sworn-in as a member of the Douglasville City Coun-
cil in January, 1996, there were only a few restaurants within this mu-
nicipality which could not be classified as “fast food” establishments.
And of these restaurants, only a handful had an alcohol beverage
pouring license. Sunday sales were prohibited.
At that time, the City of Douglasville strictly enforced an ordinance
that said any restaurant which sold alcoholic beverages must have
a ratio where food sales exceeded alcohol sales. The City fathers
wanted to prevent the operation of bars where the food sales were
somewhat incidental to alcohol beverage sales.
I remember the discussions we had at City Council meetings on
with the City’s elected officials from their perspective of Sunday sales
being needed to attract new restaurants and new customers, while
other people talked with us about their desires not to have alcohol
sales on Sundays for religious and other reasons. We were seeking
to find a balanced position on the issue of Sunday sales, even as we
considered the impact of restaurant alcohol sales and consumption
had on traffic safety due to drinking-and-driving.
Then, on August 18, 1997, the City Council approved a motion
to allow the Sunday sale of alcohol beverages in Douglasville restau-
rants --”conditioned upon passage of a referendum and conditioned
upon such other requirements and regulation for such sales as the
Mayor and City Council shall later enact” -- if the voters approved a
referendum on November 4, 1997.
The referendum was scheduled on the date of the general elec-
tion. I can tell you that most, perhaps all, of the elected officials had
reservations about calling for this referendum. In order to be sure
there were enough votes on the City Council even to issue the call for
a referendum, as noted in the preceding paragraph we agreed there
would some restrictions regarding Sunday sales.
On September 15, 1997, the City Council unanimously adopted
a resolution “stating the City Council’s intention, if the Sunday liquor
sales referendum passed on November 4, 1997, to restrict alcohol
sales by the drink by requiring a higher food-to-beverage ratio and
by restricting the permitted hours for sale.”
The November 4, 1997, referendum was approved by a vote of

862 to 681. Then, on January 20, 1998, the City Council voted to
amend the City of Douglasville’s Alcoholic Beverages Ordinance to
allow Sunday sales; however, that approval came with only a 4-3
vote, with three City Council members voting against any Sunday
sales.
After this vote, an attempt was made to amend. The new Alco-
holic Beverages Ordinance “to extend the hours for pouring on Sat-
urday evenings.” Actually, I was one of three City Council members
to vote to do this. The motion died for lack of a majority vote.
In the weeks that followed, I heard from many people who ex-
pressed their unhappiness with my vote to extend the serving hours.
They let me know very plainly that they expected the sales and ser-
vice restrictions to stay in place, and they felt I should have been
steadfast in doing so. And you know what? I had to agree with
them. Therefore, I made a promise to myself that I would make sure
in the future to stand firm against changing the hourly restrictions
on Sunday sales.
Frankly, I still feel that way. My thoughts on this subject in 2010
are the same as they have been since I made the promise noted in
the preceding paragraph. I see no reason in 2010 to change the
promise I made to myself and to this City’s residents some 12 years
ago.
I’m sharing these thoughts with you at this time because another
move currently is underway by several restaurants and some sup-
porters to extend the hours for Sunday sales of alcohol in Doug-
lasville eating establishments to 2:00a.m. Some petitions have
government
been signed by these individuals and presented to the City Council;
and, frankly, a lot of those signing the petitions do not live within
Douglasville.
All restaurants now in Douglasville came here knowing the serv-
ing hours, so their inability to keep selling drinks when Saturday
night turns into Sunday morning is not a surprise. It’s the way it’s
been in Douglasville for more than 12 years.
Frankly, I’m not persuaded by anyone who tells me that if the
City doesn’t yield on this point, people will drive on down to Fulton
County or somewhere else so they can drink later and drink more.
Frankly, I’m interested in keeping intoxicated drivers off the roads,
and not making it easier for more alcohol-impaired drivers to con-
sume more alcohol before they try to drive home.
Try telling a parent whose child has been killed by a drunk driver
that we need to extend the serving hours for alcohol into Sunday
mornings. We’ve had some bad accidents in our community in
recent months caused by people who had been drinking, including
accidents with several fatalities. I’d rather have less income from
alcohol sales for restaurant owners and less tax income from alcohol
sales for local governments than to have this added income accom-
panied by added loss of life and added life-changing injuries caused
by alcohol-related accidents.
Therefore, don’t expect me to be supportive of any move to add
to the time alcoholic beverages can be sold in restaurants located in
the City of Douglasville.
Those are my thoughts on this subject. I thank you for the oppor-
tunity to share my thoughts with you each month.

Douglas County Congressmen rank at opposite
ends of “Pelosi Index”
By Tim Collins, Publisher, Chapel Hill News & Views
One of the things that fascinates me about our county is how we
can have two such polar opposite members of Congress representing us
here. The eastern part of the county is in the 13th Congressional District
and is represented by David Scott. The Western part of the county is in the
3rd Congressional District, and is represented by Lynn Westmoreland.
I recently came across a website called “the Pelosi Index”, named after
the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, which vividly illustrates this point.
It covers 12 of the most important votes taken during this Congress,
which began in 2009. The Index shows how Speaker Pelosi voted, and
then how every member of Congress voted. Among the votes tracked
were the Stimulus Bill, Health Care Reform, and Cap and Trade. The
Index shows how each representative voted compared to Nancy Pelosi. A
0% score means that on every issue, that representative voted against the
way Speaker Pelosi voted, and a 100% vote meant that this representa-
tive voted in agreement with her.
So, how did our Douglas County representatives stack up on the Pe-
losi Index? Lynn Westmoreland was one of 133 members of Congress
with a score of 0% meaning that he voted against Pelosi on every one of
the 12 votes. David Scott was one of 116 members of Congress on the
opposite extreme of the index with a 100% score, meaning he voted with
Nancy Pelosi on every one of the 12 key votes.
Clerk of Superior Court alerts public of deed scam
Some Douglas County property owners may have received a let-
ter from the National Record Service, Inc.,
of Northbrook, Illinois, stating that they can
provide to the property owner an official or
certified copy of their property deed. The let-
ter continues to say that, for a fee of $59.50,
the Company will provide this to the property
owner.
Douglas County Clerk of Superior Court
Rhonda Payne wants the Public to know that
this is a scam.
If any Douglas County property owner wishes to obtain a certified
copy of their property deed, the cost from the Clerk’s office is $2.50 for
the first page and 50 cents for each additional page - a cost not even
close to $59.50.
Property deeds are recorded in the Record Room of the Clerk of Su-
perior Court’s Office, 2nd floor, Judicial, Douglas County Courthouse,
and Clerk’s Office staff is available to help property owners locate their
deeds in the files. The Douglas County Clerk of Superior Court is open
Mondays through Fridays from 8:00am to 5:00pm.
The Clerk is responsible for protecting the integrity of public records
and public funds. The Clerk receives, manages, and processes all court
documents, collects and disburses all court fees, fines, and costs, and
provides the public with access to court records. As keeper of pub-
lic records, the Clerk records deeds, mortgages, and notaries public.
Citizens’ case files, court records, property deeds, and mortgages are
handled and protected by the Clerk.
You Cut continues to give citizens opportunity to
help cut deficit
By Tim Collins, Publisher, Chapel Hill News & Views
Our nation’s debt grows by $4.9 billion every day, and many believe
that this threatens the future of our nation.
76 | CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS Government
As a citizen I have often felt powerless to do anything about these and
other problems in Washington, but lately I am feeling more encouraged
as I see the grass roots of this country rising up to take back the govern-
ment and put the brakes on excessive spending.
The Internet seems to be playing a very important role, as it is a way
that information can be made available to millions of people instantly,
and it has enabled grass roots movements to communicate and to take
action.
One website which I really like, and go to weekly is http://republican-
whip.house.gov/YouCut . Lynn Westmoreland, one of the Congressmen
representing Douglas County first made me aware of the site through a
weekly email newsletter. Basically the site proposes five different items
that could be cut, and how much money would be saved by cutting these
items from the Federal budget. Whichever item receives the most votes
by the people that go to the website is brought up for a vote in the House
of Representatives the following week. In the first three weeks, the House
voted on three different cuts that would have saved $85 billion. The site
also shows how each representative voted on the specific cut. The web-
site is generating over 700,000 hits a week, and growing.
I love the website because it makes me feel like I have a voice, and
that someone up there in Washington is actually listening to that voice.
The site also has a place where the user can enter suggestions for ways
to cut spending.
Let me also state here that this magazine is not meant to take a stand
politically, and we do not endorse candidates or political parties. There
is plenty of blame to go around among members of both parties for the
current state of affairs. My hope though, as an American that cares about
this nation, is that the people of this country have finally begun to pay
attention to what is going on in Washington, and that our elected officials
are beginning to realize that we the people are watching them and will
vote them out if they do not listen to us.
No matter whether you are Republican, Democrat or Independent,
Liberal or Conservative, it is extremely important for you to become in-
formed of the issues. I encourage all of our readers to take extra time this
year before you vote and find out how each candidate stands.
Traffic Amnesty in Douglas County through July
Douglas County Solicitor-General Brian Fortner announced that June
and July will be Amnesty Months in Douglas County for those individuals
who had payable traffic offenses but failed to appear for their sched-
uled court dates in the past. For those two months, the additional court
costs normally associated with such failure to appear (FTA) cases will be
waived and individuals will be allowed to pay their tickets as if they had
paid them on time originally. In most cases, individuals who failed to ap-
pear for their original court dates have had their licenses suspended as a
result. The amnesty period will allow those individuals to dispose of their
cases and work with the Georgia Department of Drivers Services to have
their licenses reinstated.
Individuals who wish to pay their traffic tickets can do so in person at
the Douglas County State Court Clerk’s Office on the second floor of the
Douglas County Courthouse, 8700 Hospital Drive, Douglasville, Geor-
gia 30134. Payment can be made by certified check, business check,
money order or cash. Payment can also be made online by credit card
at www.paydouglastickets.com. Any questions about payment should be
directed to the State Court Clerk’s Office at 770-489-5232.
The effort is aimed at reducing the backlog of nearly 5,000 FTA cases
currently pending. After the month of July, individuals with overdue traffic
tickets will be required to pay additional court costs and could face jail
time.

Shrek Forever After™Glassware Recall
In collaboration with the Consumer Product Safety Commission

The glassware was evaluated by an independent third-party lab-
oratory which is accredited by the CPSC, and determined to be in
compliance with all applicable federal and state requirements at
the time of manufacture and distribution. However, in light of the
CPSC’s evolving assessment of standards for cadmium in consumer
products, McDonald’s determined in an abundance of caution that
a voluntary recall of the Shrek Forever After™ glassware is appro-
priate.
Customers can return their glassware to any McDonald’s res-
taurant and receive a refund. Returns will only be accepted inside
the restaurant. Customers will be instructed by a manager to sign
a refund slip and will be refunded $3 for each glass returned. No
receipt is necessary.

Computer Tips
USB, Flash Drives, Rocket Launchers, & You
By Joe Groves, Computer Helper, 8723 Hospital
Drive, 770-489-1790, www.ComputerHelper.org
Today, we use our USB ports on our computers for
almost everything. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is living
up to its name, and is evolving into something stron-
ger and greater with each generation. Our printers, webcams,
mice, keyboards, cell phones, and even rocket launchers (really,
go Google ‘usb rocket launcher’, it exists) are powered and used
through our USB ports. With the new generation coming out and
with it so widely used, I thought some handy tips and information
about USB ports would be useful.
Hooking up devices to a computer used to be more frustrating
than today. There were multiple types of ports to plug into, some of
which were proprietary and exclusive to certain brands. You would
buy a snazzy device for your computer and the cord that it came
with did not match the ones on the back of your computer. So a
team of superheroes… or computer engineers, whatever, came up
with USB, and the world was saved.
USB ports have evolved over the years to accommodate faster
transfer speeds and more intensive devices. USB 1.0 came out
with the ability to transfer 12mb/sec; USB 3.0 is coming out and
rumored to be able to transfer four-hundred times that rate. That’s
four-zero-zero times more. At this rate you will be able to transfer a
Honda Civic/sec through USB 5.0 by 2020.
Now for some things we all know and don’t know: one of the
devices made most popular by USB is the flash drive; also known
as the ‘thumb drive’, ‘usb stick’, and ‘the vault that holds my life on
it’. Flash drives have become part of our lives as an easy way to
transfer data from one place to another, or just carry data with you.
What some people don’t know is that a flash drive has a lifespan
that is affected by its use. Each flash drive can be used a number
of times before it stops working. For most people, this limit is never
reached - the lifespan is enormous. Still, some find out the hard
way. A more common way flash drives are broken is due to them
being bent or broken while being bumped when connected to the
computer. It is especially important to be careful when using a flash
drive in a laptop while it is on your lap. Another time when flash
drives get broken is while plugging them into a port in the back of
your desktop and you can’t see or reach to plug it in straight.
Flash drives aren’t really meant to be a reliable backup solution.
In the same way you would not rely on a floppy disk to back up your
vital information, so it is with the flash drive. The moral of the story
is really just a principle of computer use… back up your data…
even when it is on your flash drive. Back at headquarters, the USB
powered refrigerator is holding up great, we hope the lifespan is
long and reliable. It’s just too cool… yes, pun intended.
