HAWAII IS LIKE NO OTHER PLACE ON EARTH.
Home to one of the world’s most active volcanoes and the world’s tallest sea mountain. Birthplace of surfing and the hula. Former seat of a royal kingdom. Hawaii is one of the youngest geological formations in the world and the youngest state of the union. But perhaps Hawaii’s most unique feature is its Aloha Spirit: the warmth of the people of Hawaii that wonderfully complements the Islands’ perfect temperatures.
Travel Escapes, Inc.
There are primarily six major islands to visit in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii’s Big island. You’ll find each island has its own distinct personality and offers its own adventures, activities, and sightseeing opportunities. We invite you to explore all of Hawaii to find the unique island experience for you. Call Travel Escapes and book your Hawaii air/land package or Hawaiian Cruise today!!

Hawaii - Like No Other Place on Earth Submitted by Tracey Snipes - Owner – Travel Escapes, a full service travel agency located at 4090 Bankhead Hwy. in Lithia Springs. 770-732-9434 - www.travelescapesinc.com - Hours: Mon. - Fri., 8:30am to 5:30pm and Sat. 10:00am to 2:00pm Hawaii is home to one of the world’s most active volcanoes and the world’s tallest sea mountain. It is birthplace of surfing and the hula and the former seat of a royal kingdom. Hawaii is one of the youngest geological formations in the world and the youngest state of the union. But perhaps Hawaii’s most unique feature is its Aloha Spirit: the warmth of the people of Hawaii that wonderfully complements the Islands’ perfect temperatures. There are primarily six major islands to visit in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii’s Big island. You’ll find each island has its own distinct personality and offers its own adventures, activities, and sightseeing opportunities. KAUAI -- The Garden Isle The oldest and northernmost island in the Island chain is graced with dramatic, natural beauty. Outdoor adventures and romantic escapades flourish on Kauai. You can explore the golden sandbeaches of the Coconut Coast as well as see the massive Waimea Canyon, “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” You can also take a boat ride to marvel at the towering cliffs of the Napali Coast. OAHU - The Gathering Place Home to the state capitol and the majority of Hawaii’s population, Oahu is a vibrant mix of natural and cultural wonders with the modern arts, entertainment, and amenities of the 21st century.In Oahu you can see pro surfers charge the big winter waves of the famous North Shore. Learn about American history at the memorials and museums in Pearl Harbor. You can also soak up the sun and learn to surf yourself on legendary Waikiki Beach. MOLOKAI - The Friendly Island With almost half of its population being of native Hawaiian ancestry, Molokai is an island that has preserved its connection to the past and its love for the outdoors. Step back to a simpler time in the sleepy town of Kaunakakaki or view the verdant flora in Halawa Valley. You can also learn about the works of Father Damien at Kalaupapa Settlement. LANAI - The Secluded Island Without a single traffic light, Lanai is a true island getaway for luxury, romance, and privacy away from crowds. Play golf at Lanai’s two prestigious courses or see the rock formations at Keahiakawelo, “The Garden of the Gods.” MAUI - the Valley Isle The second largest island is home to what some believe are the best beaches in the world, as well as Humpback whales who migrate off Maui’s shores every winter. In Maui you can wake up early to catch the sunrise atop Haleakala Crater and stroll through historic Lahaina, and learn about Maui’s whaling past. Or you can drive the long and winding road to Hana for spectacular scenery. HAWAII - The Big Island Bigger than all of the other islands combined, the island of Hawaii, or Hawaii’s Big Island, is vast enough to hold 11 of the world’s 13 climactic zones—from sandy beaches to snowcapped mountains. You can also see waterfalls, rainforests, and botanical gardens in Hilo or snorkel, scuba, or fish off the Kona Coast.

The walls have been painted, the furniture is in its place, and portraits are hung on the walls. Langford Photography opened its doors on July 11, 2009. Langford Photography’s journey towards a studio space began in late November 2008 when owners, Joe and Kim Langford, began looking around at available spaces throughout West Atlanta. What an amazing experience it has been, complete with its heartaches, lessons in patience, and finally…the right space. Nestled in historic downtown Villa Rica, Joe and Kim can now sit down with clients in a private, relaxing environment. They enjoy getting to know their clients and coming up with ways to capture who they are. Their clients will end up with portraits that are great for sharing with family and friends, but that also have a fine art quality, something your family will want to frame and cherish as heirlooms. Langford Photography photographs children, families, maternity and weddings. Stop by and see Joe and Kim daily from 10:00am to 7:00pm. The studio is located at 224 West Montgomery Street in Villa Rica. You may visit their website at www.langfordphoto.com. Appointments are never necessary but feel free to call them at 678840-4504.

Prevention is the Best Medicine
By Melissa Murphy. Administrator at Pine Knoll Nursing & Rehab Center, 770-834-8243,
[email protected] Lately there has been much discussion as to the best route for the US Government to take regarding health insurance. In my business, I have noted that many of the conditions we treat residents for are preventable. Politics aside, this knowledge leads me to agree with the President that there must be some vehicle in place to educate the public as to the prevention component of health care. The following excerpt is taken from an article online found at http://www.aarp.org/issues/dividedwefail/about_issues/divided_ we_fail_platform_wellness_and_prevention.html Lack of exercise and overeating, smoking and drinking too much, pose a growing threat to our nation’s health. Americans of every age do not get enough exercise, and unhealthy eating habits increase the risks. • More than half of all people 50 plus have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or some other chronic condition. • 66 percent of Americans were overweight or obese in 2004. Obesity is associated with significantly increased risk of adult-onset diabetes, hypertension, certain forms of cancer and osteoarthritis. • Diabetes is on the rise, with an estimated 14.6 million Americans already diagnosed and another 6.2 million unaware they have the disease. • The American Diabetes Association puts the financial toll of diabetes at $132 billion annually, a cost that is sure to soar if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are correct: The CDC expects one in three five year olds in this country to become diabetic because they are overweight or obese. • In New York City, the disease has already reached epidemic proportions and affects more than one in eight adults. Too often people with persistent diseases get little or no care until a crisis lands them in costly emergency-room settings, hospitals, or nursing homes. In fact, these chronic patients, sometimes known in hospitals as “frequent flyers” - soak up a huge share of the nation’s medical spending. Chronic patients make up only 5 percent of Medicare’s beneficiaries, but they account for 43 percent of the program’s cost. Staying healthy and independent is a lifelong job. With more of us living longer, life itself has definitely become a marathon. If we want our lives to be not only longer but better, we have to keep to a steady, endurance-building jog for most of the race, with the ability to sprint when circumstances demand. The reason is simple: what we do in the short term can have a tremendous effect on the quality of our lives in the long run. Despite new medical discoveries and technological breakthroughs, health problems cloud the future for many Americans. Our health and independence are precious commodities. Let’s ensure they’re protected through an emphasis on prevention and wellness. In closing, it is never too late to start. Exercise your brain, avoid sugar and eat your fruits and vegetables. I love my residents but would much rather everyone remain healthy and independent at home for as long as possible.

Writers Group meets twice monthly
The Paulding County Writers’ Group meets twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesday at 6:00pm at the Starbucks inside of Target in Hiram. They welcome anyone interested in writing. This meeting is almost pure discussion: great things members have read or written, how a particular idea evolves, editing for the faint of heart, etc. Dana Freeman orchestrates. The group also produces a quarterly publication called The North Georgia Writer. For more information, you may contact
[email protected]. It is best to contact them before attending to ensure that no meeting changes have taken place.
U-Can Dance! Club meets Tuesdays U-CAN Dance! Club meets at 7:00pm (beginner program) and 8:00pm (intermediate program) at the Villa Rica Civic Center and Sports Complex every Tuesday.

Creation Ministries International to show ‘The Voyage that Shook the World’ Creation Ministries International will be showing a documentary called The Voyage that Shook the World at the Dallas Theater August 27. A Creation Scientist will be at the event to answer questions. Tickets are $7.50 per person and can be purchased early by going to www.dallastheater-civiccenter.com. Group tickets are also available at a discount when purchased early. Call 770-445-5180 for more information. This high-budget ($1 million to produce), high-definition film revisits some of the incredible locations Darwin visited during his historic 1830s voyage on HMS Beagle and examines the ideas he formulated over the following years. It includes stunning wildlife footage and period drama reenactments, as well as interviews with leading authorities from around the world. It weighs Darwin’s claims with what modern science tells us today and asks the question, “If Darwin knew what we know today, would he have developed his evolutionary theory?” Watch the trailer at Creation.com.

Don-Rich Ford’s Professional Rodeo Is Back Clint Chance and Don-Rich Ford are teaming up again for the much anticipated event of the year. August the 21st and 22nd be ready to have a good time with your family, friends and neighbors at Don-Rich Ford’s Villa Rica Frontiers’ Rodeo. This will be the fourth year Villa Rica has had the pleasure of hosting the pro-rodeo and every year thousands of fans have lined up at the gates. At 6:00pm each night the activities start with mechanical bull riding, pony rides, bungee jumping, dunking booths, and souvenir shops. Also an array of food can be feasted on from barbecue to cotton candy. Once you and your family are fed and ready for some good ole’ country fun you can sit back and watch one of the best shows in the south! Some of the rodeo events include bareback and saddle-bronc riding, calf roping, team roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, ladies break-away roping and of course everyone’s favorite...bull riding. Fans will a have chance to get involved and win some money this year with the $10,000 Football Kick. A selected finalist will attempt to kick a football into the back of a brand new Ford F-250. If they succeed the lucky kicker will walk away with $10k. Also for the adventure lovers they will have an ATV Four-Wheeler Race where two local dealerships will battle out their latest models in the arena. You might be wondering how such action-packed nights have found their way to Villa Rica. Clint Chance, the heart and soul of this rodeo, has always been inspired by his father Donald Chance. Donald was a professional bull-rider for 15 years until his retirement in the late eighties. “My father’s love of the sport and his commitment to his family has pushed me to continue promoting quality rodeo entertainment.” Bart Smith, general manager of Don-Rich-Ford, plays a key role in the Frontiers’ Rodeo. This is the fourth year Don-Rich has been the main sponsor and fans always have a good time checking out the latest car and truck models that are available at their lot located in downtown Villa Rica. Mr. Smith encourages everyone to participate. “I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming turn out the past three years and invite you to the fourth annual DonRich Ford Frontiers Rodeo and see the 2010 Ford Vehicle Line-Up while having a great family night of fun!” Many aspects of revenue generated from this event will benefit local school clubs and the city’s park and recreation. Buy your advanced tickets for $12 for adults and $6 for children (ages six to 12). For children five and under admission is free. Advance tickets are on sale at Don-Rich-Ford, ET Doyal & Sons, and Wallace Farm Supply starting August 10th. Tickets at the gate are $2 more a piece. The Rodeo is held at the V-Plex located on Highway 61 across from Bay Springs Middle School. Photo: Maggie Sue enjoying the Pony Rides

Connection
The Good and Bad of Facebook for Adults
By Kerry Patuka. A Villa Rica resident who is a degreed and certified educator, licensed minister and founder of Drive 5 Ministries, a consulting, speaking and training ministry for churches and children’s ministry. Contact her at
[email protected] Now that the kids will be heading back to school, some parents will find a few more free minutes for themselves and maybe that time will be spent on Facebook. If you didn’t read my column last month, let me tell you how much I love Facebook. I can reconnect with friends from high school, catch up with friends from former jobs, churches or activities that I don’t see much anymore and I can keep current with friends here, as well as those in other states and countries. There are a lot of fun games and quizzes on Facebook. There are surveys to take, flair to send, private messaging, chatting and more. The truth is it’s a lot of fun and can be pretty meaningful, but we have to be careful not to waste too much time. Even though we’re adults, we too have to be careful of the choices we make on Facebook. Just because all things are accessible to us, does not mean that they are wise choices. We need to apply the same common sense we want our youth to use to our own Facebook profiles. We must watch where we go, who we friend and what we do on Facebook. Remember if it’s posted on your wall, it’s out there for everyone to see. I once was shocked to see on my home page that a male relative took a test – “which sex position are you?” - and the answer with an inappropriate picture (not of him) demonstrating the results of the quiz. A few hours later, he removed it, but I wondered how many of his friends, co-workers or relatives saw it before he did. I read somewhere that “Facebook is all about connecting and re-connecting”. This can be great! Recently, I posted on my status that I was looking for a pediatric occupational therapist for my son. Not only did I get a great recommendation, I had 2 friends from a church we were at over 7 years ago send me private messages. They shared their personal experiences with a son and a grandson with similar special needs. We made a connection – a connection we did not know existed, since these kids were not even born back when we went to church together. Facebook is a great tool for reconnecting with old friends, but that also presents another danger. It’s up to us to make sure that all of this connecting is good and healthy. I have talked to several people about their frustrations with their spouses and Facebook. First of all, just because we friend someone doesn’t mean that the content that they post will be appropriate. Curse words, bikini pictures and alcohol related applications may be offensive to or unappreciated by you, your spouse or others viewing your profile. Facebook gives you the option to block certain applications or comments by certain people. One of my friends said she blocks posts from a particular friend from high school because he often posts inappropriate words or thoughts. We have to remember that everything on our wall is visible to others, so we too have to choose to post God-honoring information, pictures and attitudes. Reconnecting with old friends can cause a problem if we’re not careful. If we have chosen to change our lives since our high school, college or our young adult days and others have not, this can be a problem. It can be easy to be sucked back into old ways of thinking, former practices or past ways of relating.
Those of us who are married need to be mindful of the choices we make. When we’re frustrated with our mate, we can’t take that stress out on our Facebook page. When we share online, we shouldn’t reveal private info or info that would embarrass our mate. We all also need to guard our hearts as we reconnect online. Don’t open up and talk to an old friend more than you would your spouse. Remember that reminiscing is done with rose-colored glasses. That other person may seem understanding, but they have not journeyed with you through the difficulties of life. It’s also easy to make comments to an old friend, such as “I always loved your laugh” or “you look great” or “I’ve missed talking with you”, but your mate might not like it. Plus, a comment innocently made, may be perceived as more by the receiver, especially if he or she is having a difficult time in his or her marriage or are divorced. Couples need to be respectful of each other’s sensitivities. So sit down with your mate and discuss some Facebook boundaries or guidelines. I have heard of couples who will only friend members of the opposite sex if their mate is also a friend with them. Another woman whose husband does not have Facebook profile has chosen to only friend females. Share your password with your mate. It’s not about checking up on your spouse, it’s about building fences to protect your marriage.

The Role of Spouses in Making Decisions
By Os Hillman, TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2. Printed with permission. “The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice” (Proverbs 12:15). “It’s amazing how similar at times the voice of my wife is to the voice of the Holy Spirit,” I said to the Christian audience. When John Benson decided to make some financial investments in a new business venture, he was very excited about the possibilities for a handsome financial return. His business and financial background had served him well. John felt strongly that his wife Jenny would not understand the complexity of his investment, so he casually mentioned it to her. When she asked a few simple questions, John became defensive and justified his
plans for investing in the venture. A year later, after investing a large sum of money, John received a phone call from the investment company. All the investors who had put money in the company were going to lose their investment with no ability to recoup it. This story could be retold repeatedly across the world. God’s principles for making decisions require input from both spouses, regardless of their level of expertise. I learned this lesson the hard way after making many independent decisions outside the counsel of my wife. Today, whenever I am faced with a major decision, I first consult the Lord, and then I consult my wife. She may disagree totally with something that seems very straightforward to me, but I have learned not to move forward if we are not in agreement. She does not need to know all the details, nor does she have to have expertise. God has placed in her a “chip” called “intuition.” That intuition cannot explain why she feels the way she does, she just knows when something is not right. Conversely, husbands bring a totally different perspective that may give an alternative side to a situation that the wife has never considered. God has called married couples to be one. If we seek to make decisions independently, then we benefit from only 50% of the intended resource God has placed within our grasp. In marriage, this stewardship of decisions requires two people. God blesses this union by honoring the decisions made with the motive of glorifying God and relying on His Spirit to lead in our decision-making process. Before you make a major decision, get confirmation for your decision from your spouse.

Embrace Life, No Matter What
Submitted by Amy L. Brown, 228 S. Carroll Rd, Villa Rica, 678-840-5000, www.amybrown.biz Have you ever heard, “If I had only had more time.” As people grow older, some may have regrets about all the things they did not do. Not taking an exotic trip or missing visits to family members might top the list. Your list might even include “not running a marathon.” One of the biggest regrets may be not telling a loved one how much you care. One thing is for sure: The more you enjoy life and prepare for the unexpected, the fewer regrets you may have. While no one can possibly do everything on a lifetime to-do list, there are plenty of ways to show people you care. One way is to make sure your family has the financial means to continue living their current lifestyle if you are no longer around. Life insurance is one way to do just that. A strong economic foundation includes adequate life insurance coverage; enough to cover a mortgage, college tuition or outstanding debts. There are many online sites that provide calculators to determine your life insurance needs. A qualified insurance professional can help you choose a policy to meet your needs and fit in your budget. Once a policy is in place, you can revisit it, especially during different life events, to make certain the coverage is still appropriate. Knowing you have provided for your loved ones will give you peace of mind so you can enjoy doing the things you’ve always wanted to do.
Dave Ramsey Teaching Series At Discovery Church The Discovery Church will be hosting a three week teaching series by Dave Ramsey called “Life. Money. Hope.” beginning August 16th at 10:00am. This is a special teaching series that Dave Ramsey recorded via video to address the current financial concerns of our time. The topics that Dave will address include: God’s way to handle money; The five things that the Bible says you must do in order to win; The five steps to get out of debt, and more. Alan Trippe, the Lead Pastor of Discovery discusses the need for this three week series, “It’s good to see that some things are beginning to turn around in our economy, but we still have a long way to go, and the need for sound financial advice is critical. There are still many families facing difficult times financially, and uncertainty regarding their jobs, debt, homes and more. I believe this three week series could change the lives of many individuals and families in our community.” For additional details including directions, visit their website at www.thediscoverychurch.org or call Alan directly at 404583-6337.

REMODELING TIPS
A Great Time for a New Kitchen
By Joyce McArthur, West Georgia Kitchen & Bath, Inc., 490-B Bankhead Hwy., Carrollton, 770-830-0511, www.westgeorgiakitchens.com You see a fashionable, clean and organized kitchen in your mind, with fabulous countertops and beautiful cabinet doors that look like furniture. That old 1970’s kitchen just isn’t doing it for you. Or perhaps you’ve purchased a foreclosure that needs some serious TLC. A kitchen looks good for ten to 15 years, and yours has probably outlived its attractiveness and function. Why is this a great time to dig into that kitchen remodel, when money’s tight for everyone? Here are a few good reasons: 1) Discounts – Cabinet manufacturers all over the country are running free cabinet promotions or percent off sales to keep their factories open. Look for brand name cabinets at your local kitchen and bath designer showroom and ask if there are any freebies with a minimum order. These promotions can save you $500 to $1000 right off the top. 2) Scheduling – Remodeling contractors and cabinet installers had been so busy that getting your project into their schedule was difficult and frustrating. Local builders and renovators are happy to have work these days, and are glad to return your calls, and to move your kitchen remodel right along. 3) Craftsmanship – You’ve got the pick of the litter now. Historically the best contractors are the guys who are the busiest, thus the most difficult to hire. Cabinet installers who are experts at fitting beautiful crown molding and decorative trim on the cabinets will make you proud to show off your beautiful new kitchen. 4) American made products – Most kitchen cabinets available in the USA are actually American made. Here in the Southeast, we have cabinets made in Texas, Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina, among others. That’s important to many of us these days, who don’t want to see any more jobs go overseas. Just as important, the quality is far superior and the finishes more beautiful and durable than the cheap boxes from overseas. It’s time to take the ‘before’ pictures and invest in creating the ‘after’ views.

Finding Where I Belong
On our recent vacation to the Abacos Islands, Sheryll woke me one night at about 2:00AM to come outside and look at the sky. Because of the remote location and lack of artificial lighting we were under a canopy of stars that seemed to never end. You could see the milky grouping of stars that make up the Milky Way and remember, “That’s our galaxy.” It was almost as if you had forgotten it and seeing it so clearly reminded you of something you knew but had allowed to be pushed to the back of your mind. Sometimes our lives become like the Milky Way that cannot be seen because of the over wash of other lights. We forget where we belong and just accept what surrounds us as the norm. Sheryll and I have learned since coming to Villa Rica what Jesus taught his disciples—find a place where you are celebrated not tolerated. That’s where you belong. Jesus told them if they were not being received, wipe the dust of that place from their feet and find a place that will. (Mark 6:11) Remember the old show Cheers? The theme song had these lines in it: “Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came.” All of us need a place where
The Harvest
My wife is gifted in more ways than I can express in such a short article. She is an incredible mother and wife. She is an amazing cook. She does all kinds of crafts with her hands, and the list goes on. The one area that she would admit that she struggles with involves the area of gardening. She doesn’t think she has a “green thumb”, so the few gardens we have attempted through the years have usually been quite small. In fact, we’ve been talking recently about the possibility of really stretching ourselves in the near future. We are actually considering planting a garden with rows, and not just using pots! It’s true! Our bountiful harvest this year has consisted primarily of cherry tomatoes planted in a pot! And I must admit, she’s done a great job with them. As we ponder the possibility of branching out into a “real” garden, I am well aware of the fact that it will require greater effort. We will need to fertilize, weed, water, etc. But we also expect that the greater the investment, then the greater the harvest will be. Greater investment equals greater harvest. Have you ever spent time thinking about what you are investing your life in? The Bible tells us that Jesus spoke often about harvesting, but it was of a different kind. Jesus spoke about the harvest of people, not plants. In Matthew 9:37 it tells us that one day when Jesus was talking with his friends he told them “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few”. God is seeking individuals that will be workers for his kingdom. People need God, and God uses people like you and me to reach other people. I encourage you to seek new and creative ways to be a worker for God’s kingdom, investing your life into the lives of others, and you will experience a harvest like you could never imagine. - Alan
we are celebrated. Too often we go through life being tolerated, maybe even accepted, but not celebrated. I believe the rich and satisfying life Jesus promised us in John 10:10 requires us to find that place where we are celebrated. Sheryll calls it her happy place and we set boundaries around it to protect it and keep it a happy place. We don’t let negative attitudes or destructive criticism enter that place. We protect it by celebrating others. It’s amazing what will happen when you start looking for things to celebrate in other people. All of a sudden, the differences become part of what makes each person so unique and amazing. Jesus celebrates people. He celebrates me and on my worst day he still loves me with that amazing love. He knows me better than anyone else and still celebrates me. I am his favorite! And the good news is—so are you! Finding where we belong, that place where they’re always glad you came, starts with finding our place in him. Make it a priority to develop that relationship. Learn to revel in his love. Then find that place where you are celebrated by creating an environment where you celebrate others. I don’t know where your Milky Way is, and I don’t necessarily think you must leave where you are to find it. But I know it starts with remembering it exists and then deciding to make it a standard in your life to celebrate others and to be celebrated. Make a decision today to find your Milky Way instead of letting all the competing lights keep it hidden. You’ll be glad you did.

Proper Backpack Fitting
By Justin B. Rich, MPT, CSCS and Eric Morante, PT, MBA, CSCS of Accel Physical Therapy. Accel has 2 convenient locations in Villa Rica at Mirror Lake Boulevard and in Douglasville Would you ask your child to carry a load of bricks on their back? Sadly, this happens quite often when we ask our children to carry a heavy backpack filled with textbooks, binders, laptops, and gym clothes. In a study conducted by Spine Magazine, 80% of the children surveyed said that their backpacks were heavy. Furthermore, 65% felt that their backpacks caused them fatigue and 46% reported back pain due to the heavy load. Here are some tips on how to properly fit, select, and use your child’s backpack: 1) Pick a backpack that is appropriate for the child’s size and age. The pack should fit comfortably between the top of the shoulder and the bottom of the low back. 2) The shoulder pads should be well padded, wide over the shoulder and narrower as they pass under the arms. 3) Always wear both straps to distribute weight evenly and adjust the straps so that the pack fits snug to the child’s back. The back pack should not hang below the child’s waistline. 4) A pack with wide hip belt will help to distribute the weight and steady the load. 5) A rolling pack, if allowed, can help to relieve stress from the neck and back. 6) The loaded backpack should be no more than 10% (elementary school) to 15% (junior high to high school) of the child’s body weight. 7) When loading the backpack, always load the heaviest items closest to the child’s back.
