review

By Chadd Franklin Hello gaming Community! Chadd Franklin here again and today I will review NCAA Football 10 for the Xbox 360 and Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Nintendo Wii. Let’s start with NCAA Football 10. This game is awesome! The graphics are amazing, the controls are impressive, the level of difficulty is mind blowing and the modes of play are numerous. All that said, what could possibly be wrong with the game? Saving in the game is still a chore but with the amount of options in the game I can overlook that and that is why I give the game a 5 out of 5. Metroid Prime Trilogy is a compilation of all three Metroid Prime games. The first two were made for the Gamecube and each one received high scores, usually a 9 or 10 on most places. I would have given them both a 5 out of 5 if I had been reviewing back then. This game was done so the first two could be played with the Wii remote and be polished up to look even better, but the game hasn’t changed too much from the previous Gamecube versions and yet this is a must have game! If I could, I would given a higher score but I can’t, so it gets a 5 out of 5.

old & new SUBMISSION

By Judith Ann. Judith Ann is a professional photographer located in a 100 year old Victorian home turned studio. www.JudithAnnPhotography.com • 770-222-1577 Tip #1 is for the careless (or those with butter fingers!). Have you ever dropped your digital camera in water? Don’t panic! Quickly get the camera out. Whip out the batteries first, then remove the memory card. Do this quickly! Then dry your camera, battery and memory card out thoroughly. Dry with a towel first, then leave somewhere warm for at least a week (the airing cupboard, if you have one). When it’s all dry, pop the batteries back in. More often than not, it will work just fine. The memory card should be okay too, but download the images to your computer first, then try it back in the camera. The best tip, of course, is to avoid dropping it in water in the first place! Here’s tip #2 - Take it steady! This digital photography tip is one that anyone can, and should, do - holding your camera correctly. Don’t hold it at arms length. Instead, hold the camera close to your body, with the screen about eight inches from your eyes. Keep your elbows tucked into your sides. Breathe out, and then firmly press, don’t stab, the shutter button. If you have a digital SLR, then this digital photography tip varies just a little. You’ll be looking through the viewfinder, not looking at the screen. You should stand the same way, but use your left hand to support the lens, not the camera. Happy Clicking!

Performance

By Perry James - Perry James is the owner and director of the Georgia School of Performing Arts. 678-571-5483, www.georgiaschoolofperformingarts.com I was privileged this Summer to be accepted onto the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) Teacher Training Program, and spent time in New York at the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School on Broadway studying, discussing and immersing myself in Ballet pedagogy. The opportunity for me to study under such luminaries as Raymond Lukens, Franco da Vita, Harriet Clark and Kate Lydon was truly inspiring. The technique of dance is something we as dance teachers need to continually both review and renew our expertise, as the understanding of teaching dance is a continuously evolving skill. The technical ability of the top professional dancers today is outstanding and a testament to the visionary teachers who have been willing to move with that evolution. Technique however is just part of the puzzle that differentiates an average dancer from a truly outstanding one. Another part of that jigsaw is the ability of the dancer to truly ‘perform’; to interpret the music so that the audience is taken on the journey with them. At the JKO School we were allowed to sit in on a number of student classes and view this ability at first hand, even during the seemingly standard execution of exercises. Every student who is enrolled in their pre-pro-

fessional program can perform barre and centre exercises with impressive strength, precision and dedication, but most are also able to make you want to watch them doing just that. The lift of the head, the use of the arms, and the hold of the torso draws the viewer into their world, and makes it seem effortless. One Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) teacher I was studying with in England used to say “I know, and you know that what you are doing is probably the hardest thing you will ever have to achieve both mentally and physically BUT your audience does not want to see that! They want to be enchanted.” The ability to ‘enchant’ an audience with your performance stems initially from good technique. As Raymond Lukens puts it “good dance technique allows the maximum output with the minimum effort”. The continued application of that technique allows the dancer not to concentrate on where everything is placed, held, pulled-up or aligned as that becomes a muscle memory, but rather enables the dancer to move within the music, interpreting the rise and fall, the subtleties, the nuances of each phrase and sometimes of an individual note to provide an experience for the audience. For a rare one or two this ability is innate, for most it comes as a result of releasing ourselves to listen through the music not just with it. What does the music make you feel? What are images that come to mind when you hear that piece, and these may be either realistic such as raindrops, leaves being scattered or a thunderstorm, or may be abstract such as a feeling of circles, lifting on gossamer, being blown by angry clouds. Once a dancer gives himself or herself the license to feel the music they can then use it move the body to interpret that feeling and gather the audience into their interpretation. As you can see performance is not just about a glittering smile, it is a skill that has to be practiced and honed, and is one more facet of the dancer’s jewel.

arts&entertainment Lightning Strikes Twice at A.D. West Dance Company

A.D. West Dance Company from Douglasville won the National Shoot-Out Round Champion Title at the Stage One Dance Competition held in Gatlinburg. Competitive dance has changed so much in recent years.

localperspectives Family Funeral Feuding

By Neal Beard. Neal Beard is a long time Douglas County resident who writes about days gone by in this area. Email [email protected]. The summer I was twelve, my brother and I stayed with preacher Carl and Mrs. Ludie Buice on weekdays while mama worked. I helped the preacher in his chicken house; he taught me to drive his 40 Ford pick up truck. One day he got a call that there had been a death in Bill Arp. The family didn’t have a preacher and Mr. J. Cowan Whitley, the undertaker, recommended preacher Buice. He invited me to go with him to the home of the deceased and he let me drive. Mr. Whitley had brought the body back home and placed the casket on a gurney in the living room. Preacher Buice went in a back room with the family to discuss funeral plans. He left me in the living room with the dead woman and an elderly, near deaf, neighbor man. One of the sons had been drowning his grief in white lightning. He had a history of grieving; he grieved over ground hog day, weather changes, bad colds, and paved roads. In the living room I was getting hoarse shouting at the neighbor in answer to his inquiry as to whose boy I was. Just before my voice rasped to a whisper, the back room door slammed open, and the drunken son staggered to the casket, squalling like a dying calf in a hailstorm. “Mama they ain’t a’gonna let me sang at yore funeral, an’ I’d done went an’ picked out a real purty song fer ya. I’m sorry mama but I can’t go to yore funeral with them hipercrit brothers and sisters o’ mine.” He leaned on the casket talking to his mama and reached to hug her. The gurney tilted and I visualized mama sprawled on the floor. I grabbed

the handle and was supporting the casket, the gurney, the dead woman, and the drunk man. The feeble old neighbor hobbled to the scene of action, latched on to the casket handle and said, “Ya dang fool, you’re gonna spill yore mama in the floor if ya don’t quit this carryin’ on an’ let go of her.” My skinny arms were shaking like a persimmon tree full of ‘possums; the old man wasn’t any stronger than I. We were losing mama when the preacher, hearing the ruckus, rushed to rescue us. I attended the graveside funeral the next day with preacher Buice. He read Scripture, and spoke words of comfort to the family. The black sheep arrived late and stood in back of the small crowd. He had had a steadfast struggle striving to swill away his sorrow. The preacher asked if any one had anything they would like to say before the closing prayer. The tipsy tippler sloshed to the edge of the grave and slurred, “Mama, I’m a’gonna sang ya’ a song.” He started bellowing a Tennessee Ernie Ford song, called “Shotgun Boogie”. He sang, “There it stands in the corner with the barrel so straight, I looked out the window and over the gate, the big, fat rabbits are ajumpin’ in the grass. Wait’ll they hear my old shotgun blast….then the edge of the grave crumbled and dumped the soused songster under the casket into the grave. He wailed, “mama they done shoved me in heah an’ they’re a’gonna bary me too.” The red faced preacher would have thrown the first shovel of dirt. Precious Memories is more appropriate for ‘funeralizing’ than Shotgun Boogie. I’m unaware of anyone ever falling into a grave singing it. However, Shotgun Boogie is a memory maker; I’ve never forgotten it.

I learned a long time ago that the only thing more involved than a NASA shuttle launch, was sending a box to a loved one serving overseas. Between the customs forms, the boxes and the postal restrictions, it’s a mind-boggling process. Here are a few tips to make the process, hopefully, a little easier. Instead of a large box, use a smaller, more manageable one. A 12 X 12 works far better than a larger size due to the handling the box will go through. These can be found at most stores as well as the Post Office. If you wish to send many items at once, use several smaller boxes. Your loved one will appreciate a more manageable size as well. I also learned that Oreos can melt! Especially when doused in my husband’s favorite BBQ sauce. So only send non-perishable items in plastic containers. These boxes may be handled roughly so glass items may not fare well. If you must send glass, wrap it in bubble wrap to protect it during travel time. Remember to fill out the customs forms before standing in line at the Post Office. Customs forms as well as any postal questions not addressed here can be found at your local post office, online at www.usps.com/supportingourtroops/welcome.htm, or by calling the Military Postal Service Agency toll free at 1-800810-6098. Thank your service members and their families every day.

money&finance Second Quarter 2009 Brings Many Tax Developments

By T. Dennis Connally. T. Dennis Connally is a certified public accountant with an office at 8483 Campbellton St., across from the post office. His office can be reached at 770920-2890 or www.tdconnally.com.

The second quarter of 2009 saw significant federal tax developments from the White House, Congress and the IRS. Many of the developments relate to temporary tax breaks in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (2009 Recovery Act), which Congress passed in February to help stimulate the U.S. economy. Additionally, important guidance for individuals, businesses and pension plans also came from the IRS. This article describes some of federal tax developments that occurred during the second quarter of 2009. Making Work Pay credit. Many wage earners are seeing an increase in their take-home pay because of the Making Work Pay credit. Employers started using new withholding tables reflecting the credit in April. However, individuals with multiple jobs and some pension recipients may discover they had too little tax withheld when they file their 2009 returns in 2010. In May, the IRS issued a withholding option for pension plans to offset the Making Work Pay credit. The IRS also reminded individuals with more than one job to adjust their withholding. First-time homebuyer credit. In April, the IRS reminded taxpayers that they cannot claim the first-time homebuyer tax credit in anticipation of a future purchase. Taxpayers qualify for the credit when they finalize the purchase of their home, which for most purchasers occurs at the time of the closing, the IRS explained. The first-time homebuyer credit reaches $8,000 for purchases between January 1, 2009 and November 30, 2009. Taxpayers must be qualified buyers and satisfy income requirements. In good news for home buyers, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will allow taxpayers to monetize the first-time homebuyer credit. Taxpayers financing through a state housing agency and other HUD-approved tax credit advance programs can monetize 100 percent of the down payment. Taxpayers using Federal Housing Administration (FHA) lenders can apply the credit to closing costs or make a larger down payment above the FHA-required 3.5 percent minimum.

Are You Going Broke Paying for Your Kids’ Sports?

Submitted by Patti H. Puckett, Financial Advisor, Ameriprise Financial, 8687 Hospital Drive, 678-391-0324

Like many consumer products, the price of youth athletics has increased dramatically. Back in the day, kids honed their athletic skills at the neighborhood park. In today’s hyper-competitive culture, parks and pick-up games have been abandoned in favor of organized sports teams, camps and clinics. When your child first swings a bat or kicks a soccer ball, it’s easy to get carried away by dreams of future glory at the high school level and beyond — and sucked into a vortex of increasingly expensive sports obligations. On top of team fees, there’s often pressure to buy expensive equipment, pay for private lessons and attend pricey camps. Teams that travel will incur costs for chartered buses or plane tickets, hotel rooms and meals on the road. And don’t forget the extras that creep in … the embroidered sweatshirts, team photos, post-game celebrations and more. It all adds up. As a parent and keeper of the checkbook, you have the right and the obligation to say no if the cost of athletic participation is too expensive. Here are some things to consider before you sink all of your disposable income into sports: • Intramural teams that compete within the community can be a more affordable alternative to traveling teams. An intramural team will have fewer practices and games and rely on volunteer coaches in exchange for a lower price tag. • As a parent, you can advocate for less rather than more. Do the kids really need new warm-ups every year? Can out-of-town travel be limited to one trip (or none) per season? • Instead of just writing a check to cover the entire cost of participation, get your child’s team involved in fundraising activities. Many teams hold car washes and pancake breakfasts to reduce team members’ costs. • For every dollar you spend on sports today, invest the same dollar amount in a college savings plan for your son or daughter. • The opportunity to play on varsity teams is reserved for the very best athletes, so discuss with your child the possibility of earning a varsity spot or an athletic scholarship to attend college. • Costs aside, there are benefits of athletic participation that you can’t put a price tag on. Sports teach kids important lessons, such as teamwork, discipline and learning to win and lose with grace. Physical fitness is another important benefit. Particularly for girls, participation in sports is linked to lower levels of drug/alcohol use and promiscuity. Make an offensive play for your finances and talk to a financial advisor about what you can afford to put toward athletic participation. A knowledgeable professional can help you establish a budget for your children’s extracurricular activities based on your current income and savings goals.

money&finance Plan for Retirement – This Week and Every Week

Submitted by Jeremiah J. Hensley, Financial Advisor, Edward Jones Investments, 3144 Golf Ridge Blvd. Ste. 102, 770-942-8496, [email protected]

You might not see it on your calendar, but Oct. 18 – 24 is National Save for Retirement Week. This event, endorsed by Congress, is designed to promote the benefits of saving for retirement and to encourage workers to take full advantage of their employer-sponsored retirement plans — so you may want to use this week as a starting point to do just that. For many of us, the need to boost our retirement savings is critical. In fact, some 53 percent of Americans report that the total value of their household’s savings and investments, excluding the value of their primary home and any defined benefit plans, is less than $25,000, according to the 2009 Retirement Confidence Survey, sponsored by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Also, the decline in popularity of these defined benefit plans — the traditional pension plans that make payments based primarily on years of service — is one reason that saving for retirement has become such a major issue. From 1986 to 2008, participation in defined benefit plans among full-time workers in private industry declined from 76 percent to 24 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In many cases, these defined benefit plans have been replaced by defined contribution plans, such as 401(k) plans — which means that much of the responsibility of adequately funding retirement has shifted from the employer to the individual. Given these factors, it’s clear that you must be proactive in building resources to achieve the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. So, consider taking the following steps: • Contribute to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan. If possible, try to put in as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or other tax-advantaged, employer-sponsored plan, such as a 403(b) or 457(b). It’s a good idea to spread your 401(k) dollars among the available investments in a way that reflects your risk tolerance and time horizon. And as your income increases, try to increase your 401(k) contributions. At a minimum, put in enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered. Due to the prolonged economic slump, some employers have cut back or eliminated their 401(k) matching contributions, but if one is offered, take advantage of it. • Open an IRA. Even if you contribute to a 401(k), you are probably still eligible to open an IRA. . A traditional IRA can grow on a tax-deferred basis, and a Roth IRA grows tax-free, provided you’ve had your account for at least five years and don’t begin taking withdrawals until you’re 59-1/2. Plus, you can usually find that an IRA provides more investment options that a 401(k) plan. • Rebalance your investment portfolio regularly. During the long bear market, many new retirees faced difficulties when they were forced to tap into investment portfolios whose value had dropped significantly. You can help avoid this problem by periodically reviewing and rebalancing your investments. So for example, if you know you’re going to retire within the next five years, you may want to consider shifting some of your assets into shorter-term investments that may not be as susceptible to market volatility. You can speak with a financial advisor, who can help you review your specific situation. By making the right moves, you can turn every week into a “Save for Retirement” week. And you’ll probably be glad you did, once your actual retirement week arrives.

Mike Thompson died in a car accident leaving behind his wife, Amanda, their two boys, and stiff financial challenges. “After that,” Amanda recalls, “I put the house up for sale and we moved in with my mother.” About six months later, she purchased life insurance on herself telling her agent, “I don’t want this to happen to my children.” Amanda’s story illustrates how being without life insurance can leave families vulnerable to financial hardship. However, the need for life insurance is not limited to families. When you’re single with no dependents, you may not need much life insurance. But you should at least have enough to cover final expenses, so your parents or siblings aren’t burdened with these costs. Once you’re married, you share a life and a home with someone else. Now if the worst happens, your spouse may be left with a rent or mortgage payment they can’t afford. At this point, it’s time for both spouses to get individual life policies. When you have children, you have their future to think about. Life insurance can help your spouse keep up with child care and other expenses, as well as save for education and retirement. In retirement, life insurance becomes an important part of your estate plan allowing you to pass wealth to future generations or a charity. There are two basic categories of life insurance - term and permanent. Term insurance can be purchased in large amounts for a small initial premium. It is well suited for short-term goals. Coverage lasts for a specified term. After this term has ended, it expires unless renewed by paying higher premiums. Permanent life insurance provides a death benefit while the policy is in force. The premiums are initially higher than those of term insurance, but in many cases they can be cheaper over the life of the insured. Permanent life insurance usually builds up a tax deferred cash value and is well suited for long-term goals.

You can reach her at [email protected] Sodium occurs naturally in foods and is essential for health. It helps maintain fluid balance, transmits nerve impulses, regulates blood pressure and maintains muscle activity. But most of the sodium in our diet comes from salt, or sodium chloride, that is added to the foods we eat. And for this reason, most people ingest too much of it. A high-sodium diet can contribute to high blood pressure, a risk factor for heart disease. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends consuming less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day (approximately one teaspoon of salt) and recommends 1,500 mg or less per day for certain high-risk groups. Despite this, most Americans consume more than 4,000 mg per day. That could be because of the way we eat: Most of the sodium we consume comes from processed foods. Tips to Kick the Salt Habit Read food labels and shop smarter. These words signal high salt counts: sodium, salt, pickled, smoked, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, cured, corned, brine, broth and marinated. You should also choose products with less sodium than calories per serving. And avoid the 10 foods in our list below! Fresh is best. Whenever possible, opt for fresh fruits, vegetable, meats, poultry and fish instead of canned varieties, which tend to have high amounts of sodium. The next best thing is frozen veggies and meats that aren’t covered in butter or salty sauces. The best ones contain less than 600 mg of sodium per serving. When you can’t go fresh or frozen, look for no-salt-added, nosodium or low-sodium canned vegetables, beans, broth, soups, tuna, crackers and tomato sauce. Don’t add salt to your home-cooked recipes, and remove table salt from, well, the table. Add flavor with herbs and spices instead. (A common misconception is that certain gourmet salts, such as sea salt, are healthier than table salt. This is simply untrue. Sea salt packs a comparable amount of sodium per teaspoon.) Use half or less of the seasoning packet provided with packaged rice and pasta dishes. Make your own soup using low-sodium broth and tons of fresh or dried herbs, garlic and onion. Dining out? Go online ahead of time to check the menu’s nutrition facts. You may find that some dishes contain more than your recommended daily allowance of sodium in just one plate! And for that reason... Buy a heart-healthy cookbook, and limit eating out to once or twice a week. 10 Sneaky High-Sodium Foods 1. Condiments; 2. Salad Dressing; 3. Nuts; 4. Cereals; 5. Deli Meats; 6. Microwave Popcorn.; 7.

Nail Care Pointers Growing Healthy Nails

By Jeanne Grace Curtis, CMT, State Licensed Nail Tech & Onyxologist, owner of Nails Your Way, Private Nail & Skin Care Salon. 5900 Orchard Road Douglasville (By Appointment Only) 770-949-3113 Website: www.NailsYourWay.com Your nails reflect your individuality. Your choices of fingernail and toenail polish, nail art, and trendy nail jewelry are all part of your style and appearance. The healthy structure of your nails is more like your character – it may not be visible, but it is more important than outward appearance. A good home nail care regimen, one part of an overall healthy lifestyle, can help to grow and maintain healthy natural nails. The nail structure is a complex combination of interactive parts. Matrix: Nourished by the bloodstream, the matrix is where nail growth begins. The matrix is the only living part of your nail. Lunula: The half moon found at the base of the nail and is the only visible part of the nail matrix. Cuticle: The fine thin skin surrounding the base of the nail. The cuticle acts as a protective seal against infection. Cuticles should be kept soft and pliable and pushed away from the nail to prevent hangnails. Nail plate: This see-through shield is commonly thought of as the nail itself. It is made up of hardened, dead cells. Nail fold: This layer of skin covers the edges of the nail plate on all sides except the tip. It holds the nail in place. Free edge: The outer tip of the nail plate that extends past

the finger. Artificial nails are a frequent cause of fungal infections. Moisture accumulates under lifting nails. Artificial nails should never be worn continuously. Artificial nails should be soaked off gently in order to prevent further damage to the natural nails. After removal, the natural nails are often thinner and more brittle. If separation of the nail plate, fungus, or scarring from drill damage has occurred, complete recovery can take as long as eight, ten or twelve months. The transition back from artificial nails to healthy natural nails requires patience and commitment. Rippling ridges are a common nail problem. Buffing with a soft block buffer will help smooth ridges. A base coat ridge filler and French manicure will help camouflage ridges. The horizontal French stripe makes the vertical lines much less noticeable. Nails tend to grow slower as you age. They also grow slower in the winter than in the summer. Massaging the cuticles with oil stimulates the nail matrix, generates new cell growth, stimulates blood flow and decreases dryness.

wrote hundreds of ideas about the right way to live and these were collected and placed into the Proverbs – a book in the Old Testament of the Bible. Every time I read through a section of Proverbs, I am amazed at the simplicity and profound truth found in these wise words. The first 7 verses of Proverbs in the Message Bible sets the tone: These are the wise sayings of Solomon, David’s son, King of Israel – written down so we’ll know how to live well and right, to understand what life means and where it’s going. A manual for living, for learning what’s right and just and fair; to teach the inexperienced the ropes and give our young people a grasp on reality. There’s something here also for seasoned men and women, still a thing or two for the experienced to learn - fresh wisdom to probe and penetrate; the rhymes and reasons of wise men and women. Start with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning. Wow - sounds like the kind of advice we can all use – right? But the first thing many people say when it’s suggested that they look for help in the Bible is that it’s too hard to understand. There are so many translations of the Bible available today. I even have access to 16 different English versions of the Bible on my iPhone for free. These versions of the Bible don’t change the meaning of the text; they just use the words and phrases that make sense to us today. Take some time to read the Bible in a modern version, such as the Message Bible, the Contemporary English Version (CEV) or the New Century Version (NCV) and you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to understand. The next thing people wonder about is the application of the Bible to contemporary life. If you take the time to read the Bible in a version that you understand, you’ll be astounded at it’s relevance to your life and to the world around you. As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun. The things that are going on in our homes, communities, country and world today are similar to, if not the same as, many of the things happened during Bible times. Here’s an example. You don’t have to search hard to find a news story related to a robbery, a gang or a violent attack on someone. This is the sad state about life today in America, but read what is described in the first chapter of Proverbs: Don’t be tempted by sinners or listen when they say, “Come on! Let’s gang up and kill somebody, just for the fun of it! They’re well and healthy now, but we’ll finish them off once and for all. We’ll take their valuables and fill our homes with stolen goods. If you join in our gang, you’ll get your share.” Don’t follow anyone like that or do what they do. Proverbs 1:10–15 (CEV) Throughout Proverbs, you’ll find advice related to many aspects of your life. You’ll find wisdom pertaining to your marriage, parenting, business, friendships and many other life choices. Chapters 23, 24 and 25 of Proverbs offer 30 wise sayings for life. Here are just a few: Don’t fail to correct your children. You won’t kill them by being firm and it may even save their lives. Be wise and follow the right path. Don’t be a heavy drinker or stuff yourself with food. Use wisdom and understanding to establish your home; let good sense fill the rooms with priceless treasures. There are 31 chapters in Proverbs; you can read a chapter a day for a month or you can read a few verses a day and spread it out. Either way, time spent with these words is never wasted. Use the wisdom found in this book of the Bible to find clarity and guidance for your life, your family and your home. Ad rates start at $39 per month – 38,000 copies distributed

Moving Children Out of the Bedroom, Part I

By Jessica Hocutt, MAMFT, LAPC. Connection Family Counseling, 8455 Adair Street, Douglasville, GA 30134, 770-364-6561 I often have parents asking the question of how to get their child to sleep in their own bed. Some families have the child sleeping in the parent’s bed, while others have one parent sleeping in the child’s bedroom. It is different for every family and every family has a different belief about whether their child should sleep with the parents and to which age it is appropriate. Each family should make this decision based on their personal beliefs. This article is for those who are considering moving their child out of the bedroom, or moving themselves back into their own bed, but are still feeling unsure about it. For those weighing the benefits and disadvantages, the disadvantages will not be addressed here, because they are wide-ranging; every mother and/or father has their reasons for dreading the big move. I will let you know some of the benefits to your marriage and your child, however. First, your marriage can suffer major consequences if your sex life is cut off because your child is in the bed with you, or even worse, if your spouse has had to leave the bedroom to make room for the child. Once a child is in their own bedroom, it frees Mom and Dad to have intimacy and build up their own couple relationship. Imagine the time the two of you will have together if the child is in their own bed, at their appropriate bed time, and the two of you are able to spend that hour or two together. What would you do with that extra time? Hopefully, you would use it to do some things for yourself, and your marriage. Another benefit is that your child learns healthy independence from his/her parents, as well as appropriate boundaries and his/her place in the family. This means that children learn their appropriate place is not in-between Mom and Dad (literally and figuratively), but along-side them. One more, and probably the most important benefit to your child, is that they learn by example what a healthy marriage looks like. By putting your child in their own bedroom, freeing up your “couple space,” and building intimacy in your marriage, you are strengthening your relationship and demonstrating this to your Ad rates start at $39 per month – 38,000 copies distributed

marriage&family child, so they can make healthy relationship choices as teenagers and adults. This decision can be a cause of stress in your marriage if one of you is ready for the move and the other is not. This is especially true if the un-ready spouse is afraid to face the marriage and is using the child as a means to keep space in the relationship and avoid conflict. These issues may need to be addressed with a marriage counselor, as they go much deeper than the sadness over your child getting older. If you are ready to make the move, but are unsure how to do it, next month’s article will address the different ways to actually accomplish getting a child in his/her own bed.

Douglasville CVB hosts Bridal Boot Camp

If you missed Bridal Boot Camp II at the Centre at Arbor Connection recently, then you missed a lot! The Douglasville Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) held the workshop to educate brides on the basic fundamentals of wedding planning and the resources Douglasville can provide. The Centre at Arbor Connection was the host location and surprised many attendees and exceeded the expectations of most. One attendee stated, “I never knew such a large and beautiful facility existed in Douglasville.” Thanks to our host facility Brides enjoyed a sampling of food from Sam & Rosco’s. The CVB’s goal was to allow brides the opportunity to take away

basic knowledge on planning weddings locally using local vendors and their services and make it easy for brides to plan their entire wedding. After an informative presentation by Leslie Karrer from The Knot guests were treated to a fashion show by Brides Atlanta, which included 2010 fashions not yet in stores, making those in attendance the first to view the new line in bridal dresses and formal attire! Brides also won many prizes including catering services, facility rental discounts, DJ services, spa packages, videography, photography, floral services, make-up baskets, wedding accessories, and even a free cruise! Plus, one bride won a $500 VISA gift card from the Douglasville CVB; courtesy of vendor registration fees. If you missed the Bridal Boot Camp series in 2009, don’t worry. The Douglasville CVB hosts the Bridal workshop twice a year in order to show even more locations and to help those brides that are newly engaged. The 2010 series will focus on outdoor venues. The Cultural Arts Center will be the host location for the next workshop scheduled for Spring 2010. Please visit the CVB’s website for dates, times and registration information.

petpages Pet Set Pet Care Tip Crate Training Your Puppy

By Dixie Popham - Owner, Pet Set Grooming • 3313 Hwy. 5 Across from Publix • 770-949-0579 Training your pet to stay in a crate takes a little effort. The key is to make the crate as attractive as possible. The main things you can do to make it a welcoming den for your dog: Use small but yummy treats or, better yet, his favorite toy; put the crate in a place in the house where your dog won’t feel isolated; and ensure the crate fits him just right. And, most important, don’t use it as punishment. If your dog associates the crate with the consequences of doing something wrong, he will learn to hate the crate A crate is a management tool, It can be used properly or used improperly. If you use a crate properly, you can easily and painlessly establish limits for your dog, particularly if you‘re away from home for long hours and can‘t monitor your dog‘s behavior. A crate can also be a safe haven for your dog when you have a houseful of people, and he doesn‘t feel like coming to the party. Similarly, crates can provide a refuge for dogs that get spooked by thunderstorms, fireworks, or other unfamiliar noises. Ideally, you should introduce your dog to a crate when he‘s a puppy, the best time to establish household rules. Instead of yelling at your pup hours after he has chewed up a favorite pair of shoes or gnawed through the cushions of the couch, you can put him in his crate so he doesn’t get into trouble in the first place. Trainers agree that scolding your dog hours after he has done something wrong accomplishes nothing. Your dog can’t equate your hysterical rant with something he did hours, or even minutes before. A crate can also help housetrain your puppy. It doesn’t necessarily take the work out of housetraining. It just makes it easier to monitor when he has to go outside, and easier to clean up if you don’t get to him quickly enough. Put your puppy in the crate, then take him outside after meals and naps, and perhaps when he whimpers, scratches, or paces. Praise him mightily when he goes outside. Soon, he’ll catch on. But buy a crate that fits your puppy. If it’s too big, he might use part of it as a bathroom. You may have more difficulty luring your older dog, unaccustomed to confinement, into a crate. Nonetheless, the same rules for acclimating your dog apply

This Pet Needs a Home Murphy

Young Murphy wants to be close, inside with humans and other animals. He likes both cats and dogs. He was abandoned in Douglas County. Murphy is very clean, likes his tennis balls and loves to rub his back on your legs, or just lay in your lap. Murphy has been neutered, chipped for ID, and current on all vetting. He is under a year old. If you know of a warm loving home for Murphy, please call 770-489-7164 or e-mail [email protected] or call the Douglas County Humane Society at 678-838-9123.

Pet Safety Tips for Halloween

By Debra Y. Milton, Four Paws Pet-Sitting Service, www.fourpawspetsitting.com, 678-838-7297 Keep pets inside away from all Halloween activities. In particular, keep black cats indoors as they may be the target of pranksters. Make sure that all pets are wearing collars with current ID in case one should escape while you are handing out candy. Remember, candy can be highly toxic to your pets so keep it away from them. Sit down and discuss this with your children so they will know not to “share” their goodies with the family pets. Refrain from taking the family pets along with the kids as they treat or treat. Loud noises or costumes may frighten the pets and they may become lost or the pet may be injured or possibly bite someone out of fear.
