New restaurant opens in downtown Villa Rica

After working as a chef for 17 years at a luxury hotel chain, Faji Ababulgu knew he wanted to open his own restaurant. That dream became a reality on August 21 as he introduced his creation De, Castella’s to Villa Rica. The restaurant is located in the former Covalli’s location at 135 Main Street. It is open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner, and from noon to 3:00pm on Sunday. According to Chef Faji, “We do not take any shortcuts in preparing our food. We offer healthy portions of fresh food prepared from chef-created recipes. Your meal will always be cooked to perfection with warm, friendly service in clean and comfortable surroundings.” A large, mostly Italian menu is offered with most entree prices in the $10 range. Pizza and sandwiches are also available, as is a 200 West Montgomery Street Villa Rica, GA 30180 770.459.4771 770.459.2729

Life Insurance: It’s For the People Who Live

Submitted by Amy L. Brown, 228 S. Carroll Rd, Villa Rica, 678-840-5000, www.amybrown.biz The death of a family member can be devastating to survivors both emotionally and financially. Life insurance can provide cash to help with your family’s immediate and long-term needs. * Immediate needs include funeral expenses, unpaid medical bills and taxes. * Long-term needs include care for a disabled child or elderly parent expenses and, in general, the chance for members of your family to continue to live the life to which they are accustomed. Life insurance is not for the people who die, but for people who live. It’s wise to explore options while you are still healthy; health problems can make life insurance expensive or unavailable. Three forms of life insurance are most common today: Term life insurance - this is temporary life insurance for a specific time period (one, five, 10 or more years). It can provide shortterm coverage on a limited budget. Term insurance, however, costs more to buy as you get older. There are two common types of term life insurance: * Level term: the amount of protection remains the same during the coverage period. * Decreasing term: the amount of protection gradually declines during the coverage period. Whole life insurance - premiums are generally level with cash value growth throughout the life of the policy. Cash values can be borrowed (with interest charged) during the insured person’s lifetime to help meet temporary or emergency needs. Funds borrowed reduce the death benefit and cash surrender value. Universal life insurance - this offers many traditional advantages of whole life insurance (such as protection for life), but also offers flexibility. Coverage amounts and premium payments are flexible to help meet changing needs during an insured person’s lifetime (subject to certain conditions). When you buy life insurance, you buy a promise of protection against financial loss caused by death. The promise is only as good as the company that stands behind it. In today’s marketplace, life insurance buyers should be concerned about including the financial strength of the insurer and customer service.

Preparing for the Pandemic Flu

By Melissa Murphy. Administrator at Pine Knoll Nursing & Rehab Center, 770-834-8243, [email protected] Since my career is in the health care field and I am a Nursing Home Administrator, I have had the opportunity to receive some education on the H1N1 virus and the potential of pandemic flu, in order to gear up in preparation for the upcoming flu season. Based on what I have learned so far, no one knows exactly what to expect from the H1N1 virus, and same goes for the pandemic flu. What we do know is that every year, the seasonal flu kills roughly 38,000 people in the US. The symptoms of the seasonal flu are similar to the symptoms of the H1N1 virus. Seasonal flu symptoms are usually high fever, body aches, sore throat, non-productive cough (dry), runny or stuffy nose, headache, extreme fatigue, and diarrhea. Symptoms of the H1N1 flu are fever (90%), cough (84%), sore throat (61%), body aches, headache, chills, or fatigue. Some have reported diarrhea (26%) or vomiting (24%). The H1N1 virus may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions. Here are some simple things you can do to prevent the spread of influenza. • Get the flu vaccine! For most people there are few, if any, side effects. The flu vaccine is highly recommended for adults over 50, many children (ask your child’s healthcare provider), those at risk for complications, including adults and children with chronic conditions, such as heart problems, lung disease, diabetes and chronic kidney disease. It is of course recommended for caregivers, professionals and those at home. • Wash your hands often. Always wash your hands when they look or feel dirty, and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose. Also wash your hands before and after having contact with someone who is sick or injured. Wash your hands after using the bathroom and before preparing or eating food. Use these simple steps: 1. Wet your hands under warm, running water. 2. Lather your hands with soap. 3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. 4. Rinse the soap off with warm, running water. 5. Dry your hands thoroughly with a clean towel. 6. If possible, use a disposable towel to turn off the faucet. • No Soap and Water? Use an alcohol-based sanitizer if your hands are not visibly dirty. You can use a gel or wipe, but make sure it contains at least 60% alcohol. First, rub the gel or the wipe all over both hands. Then, rub your hands together until they feel dry. • Avoid sharing personal items. These can spread germs. For example, don’t share towels, washcloths, utensils, toothbrushes, cups, glasses or straws. • Cover your coughs and sneezes. If you don’t, you may be helping to spread germs. Cough or sneeze into a tissue. Don’t have a tissue? Use your upper sleeve. Don’t cough or sneeze into your hands! Throw away the used tissue. Wash your hands. Also stay at least 6 feet away from people if you are coughing or sneezing, or if they are. Best advice: Take precautions, and take care of yourself, so that you can take care of those who depend on you.

Connection

Words to Live By

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] The world today can be such a confusing place. It’s hard to know who and what to believe. Everyone is busy and life keeps moving at a faster and faster pace. It can be challenging to stand up for your beliefs. We’re influenced by family, friends, cable, internet, music, movies and more. As a parent, it sometimes seems like even the little decisions can be overwhelming. The good news is that thousands of years ago, King Solomon 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.

Making Your Home a Haven

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 Womens Association. To find out about having an organizing service come to your home, you may call 770-941-0201 or visit www.rejoycenorder.com If you find yourself lacking excitement about the upcoming holiday season this column is for you. We need to shift our focus and concentrate on the things we can do to make a difference in our lives and the lives of those we love. Our homes are a reflection of our values, and a home in disarray says that we do not respect the things we have been blessed with. In our recent past when money was sometimes in abundance we took those blessing for granted and it was easy to let things slide but now that money is tight we realize not only have we forgotten to take care of our “stuff” but we have forgotten to teach our children to do the same. So now we find ourselves challenged with changing the way we think about our “stuff.” I recently saw Peter Walsh on the Oprah show working with a client who was struggling to let go of an old mixer or something that once belonged to her grandmother yet it was piled up with other “junk” in the basement and he told her (not quoting word for word here) “If it really means that much to you, you would have been given it a place of respect instead of it being “lost” in a useless pile of junk.” I have been doing this for quite a while but that statement

made an impression on me. I’m afraid we are all guilty of this. Our “stuff” controls us rather than us controlling our “stuff.” Like I said earlier THERE IS HOPE and there are things you can do TODAY to create a sense of order and haven in your own home. • Make the bed everyday (children as young as three can be taught to make a bed—it may not be made the same way you would do it but that’s ok) • Load and unload the dishwasher everyday. • Make sure everyone gets his or her laundry to the laundry room by laundry day (and recruit help for getting laundry done) • Create a home for toys using small containers, and baskets. • Create a Launch Pad near the door where everyone exits where homework, library books, and other articles will be placed at end of evening to prevent chaos in the morning.

Fescue should be over-seeded in the fall every year. This allows the grass to develop a strong root system over the winter, thus preparing your lawn to accept spring fertilization and weed control applications. The sale of seed is predominate in the spring time however, putting off core aeration and over-seeding until spring does not allow the turf to develop a good root system. Without a deep root system in place the summer heat will cause weak seedlings to die quicker.

LANDSCAPING TIPS

By Sonny Haywood, at Alternative Environments Landscape Management, 678-840-4449, [email protected] Fall is right around the corner and now is the time to start preparing for core aeration and over-seeding of fescue lawns. Mother Nature has been hard on fescue due to the heat of the day and the high humidity at night. The heat dries out the turf and the humidity brings on fungus, both of which are detrimental to your lawn. Core Aeration is an excellent way to begin preparing your Fescue for a good growing season next spring. Core Aerating controls harmful thatch, increases root development, promotes overall plant health, reduces soil problems, and increases water retention. Core Aeration is an excellent way to prepare your lawn for overseeding.

Villa Rica High School recognizes Wildcat Way students

Congratulations to (left to right) David Patterson-Meherg, Colby Carnes, Brett Daniel, Stephanie Dietrich, and Alexis Martinez who were recognized by Dr. Evelyn Waldrep (back) for demonstrating the Wildcat Way. The Wildcat Way includes demonstrating such behaviors as being Responsible, Respectful, and Ready. When a teacher observes a student following these behaviors, the teacher will give a card to that student which states what behavior was observed. A weekly drawing is held from the cards that were given out and prizes are awarded. These prizes are compliments of Chick-fil-A.

Carroll County Schools Superintendent announces retirement

Carroll County Schools Superintendent John F. Zauner has publicly announced his retirement effective May 31, 2010. After seven years as Carroll County Schools superintendent and twenty three additional years as an education professional, the community proudly salutes him for the impact he has made on the lives of the staff, faculty, and students of Carroll County Schools. The board members, faculty, and staff of Carroll County Schools are saddened to hear of Zauner’s retirement, but are proud of his accomplishments and are grateful for the effort that he has put into making the Carroll County School System a great environment for children to grow and learn. “I would like to say thank you to Mr. Zauner for the amount of time, effort, and leadership he’s shown to us”, board member John Stephens said, “I am sorry to see him retire, but he deserves a chance to relax.”

Thoughts from the Mayor State of the City

Submitted by Mayor J Collins In 2009 has been a challenging year with the weak economy, unemployment in excess of 10% and reductions in revenues with the property tax digest dropping $10 million but I am still excited about the possibilities ahead for the City of Gold. City employees did not receive annual raises and six positions were eliminated to create a balanced budget of $9.2 million. We feel the pain along with everyone else. Construction permits are at their lowest level in over six years with only 13 permits issued between January and August of 2009 but we are busy using this time to expand our sewer treatment facilities to meet future growth. The new 2.1 million gallon capacity West Water Reclamation Plant expansion is two weeks ahead of schedule and on target to come in under the $30.8 million budget. This project will be the most expensive project that the City has ever undertaken. The added capacity will enable development for another ten to fifteen years. The project has been designed and built for a Phase II which would add another 2.1 million gallons per day capacity for many more years of growth. The new plant should be in service by spring of 2011. Carroll County Chamber of Commerce passed along good news just a week ago that the City’s North Loop road project has made it on the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) list. This is a ten year ongoing project with $1.7 million for right-of-way acquisition funding beginning in 2012. Both the South Carroll Road and Georgia Highway 61 intersection improvement project for $4.3 million and the

TE Grant or trails project for $578,813 remain on the STIP list. Downtown Villa Rica is undergoing major changes with the removal of several buildings that were structurally unsound and the creation of a “green” amphitheater that will seat 500 people. This new oasis of grass, flowers and crape myrtles in the center of Villa Rica will provide a focal point for family events and continued development downtown. The project is made possible because Carroll County Commissioners approved matching SPLOST funds of $400,000 to be used to create greenspace in conjunction with the amphitheater project. The City’s Police Department and Municipal Court continue to work diligently to reduce crime and make our city a safe place to live and work. During the past year, PD had been reorganized, removing one level of supervision or flattening the organization. Various key staff people were reassigned to make the organization more efficient and to improve communications. PD has begun the second year of clearing up outstanding warrants with a warrant amnesty program which is currently underway. PD’s strategy to “serve and protect” is illustrated by decreases in assaults, thefts and domestic crimes. The Police Academy continues to attract a lot of citizen participation and a new Explorer Post has been established. The Villa Rica Pine Mountain Gold Museum just celebrated its one year anniversary of operation and attendance continues to exceed projections as residents and visitors visit “Georgia’s forgotten gold rush of 1826”. The latest New York Times news coverage pitting Villa Rica against Dahlonega as the first US gold rush has probably helped plus the Museum has received statewide TV coverage as well as promotional time from Douglas County Chairman Tom Worthan. If you have not been over to pan for gold and gems or see the working grist mill and black smith shop, it’s a must. The VPlex athletic center and convention center has thousands of visitors every month and meets the needs of children and adults alike. What a wonderful investment for our community that the mayor and

Thoughts from the Mayor

council made four short years ago. A new stage, rest rooms, concession stands, additional parking and training facility have been added this year. The summer camp program was a huge success according to all the young participants with whom I have spoken and we have the largest ever enrollment for soccer with 518 this fall and 539 in the spring of 2009 for a grand total of 1,057. The July 3 fireworks and music at VPlex was the best ever with an estimated crowd of 15,000. The Atlanta Rhythm Section really added to the enjoyment. The second year of a new music festival became the 1st Annual West Georgia Hot Air Balloon Race which was a huge success. Other events adding to the entertainment opportunities in Villa Rica included the Bluegrass Festival, the Summer Concert Series, Thomas A. Dorsey Festival and the Gold Rush Festival which all saw increased participation. The Villa Rica Library Advisory Board is reviewing plans for expanding the library as utilization of the library continues to increase at an annual growth rate of 11%. With a patron count of 106,533 for the last twelve months, guests are often very crowded in the existing facility. An application to expand the library was made to the State of Georgia during this legislative session but we did not receive funding. An application will be submitted again next year and the Board is looking at the possibility of choosing a new site. Financially, the City is in excellent health with reserves of approximately $9 million excluding $34 million in restricted cash reserves for the construction of the West Water Reclamation Plant. The year end financial showed revenues were lower than original budget by approximately $400,000 for the General Fund (GF). GF expenditures were over budget $60,783 with net assets increasing almost $4 million. The new Public Facilities Authority issued $34.9 million in bonds to construct the West Water Reclamation Plant. Water and sewer rates were increased 5% for the new 3 tier water conservation rate structure.

A 12” water main project down Georgia Highway 61 was completed in August 2009 at a cost of just under $1 million that connects the Carroll County Water Authority’s system to the City so that we will be able to meet water needs for the City for many years. This water line gives the city capability to receive the 2.4 million gallons per day from Carroll County Water and Sewer Authority. Sewer improvements are currently underway in downtown and a new 12” water line loop will be installed to the Mirror Lake water tower. Mainstreet and Downtown Development Authority presented the Summer Concert Series culminating with an outstanding local band, “Forty Years Later” and the City’s own, Councilman Woody Holland on the keyboard. In addition many other special events such as Highway 78 Yard Sale, Thomas A Dorsey Festival, Gold Rush Festival, Trick or Treat Downtown Merchants, Downtown Merchants Holiday Open House, Lighting of the Tree and arrival of Santa draw people downtown throughout the year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many volunteers who plan, organize and make these events happen. Without you these events would not be possible. Thank you so much! In closing, the most important asset of the City is its employees and volunteers and I just want to thank them publicly for the efforts that they put forth everyday to serve the citizens of Villa Rica. These employees produce much of the water we drink, process the waste we generate, patch and beautify our streets, repair the water and sewer lines, provide us recreation and make our homes and businesses safe. Please allow me to say thank you ladies and gentlemen for your hard work and dedication to get the job done. This is an election year and three council positions are on the November 3 ballot. Good government requires involved citizens so please exercise your privilege to support the candidate of your choice and get out and vote November 3.

Short Sleeves or Long?

I am writing this article while having breakfast in Vienna—Austria not Georgia. Twice a year I have the privilege of representing our church training Christian leaders in 3 cities in Slovakia and Czech Republic. My first trip here was May and, after reading the weather predictions, I brought all long sleeve shirts. When I got here the weather had turned unseasonably warm and I stayed drenched in sweat all week. This time, again based on the weather forecast, I brought all short sleeve shirts and landed with the temperatures in the 50’s! Fortunately, I handle cool weather much better than hot. My shirt dilemma is a little like life—obviously not as serious— but a good teachable moment. Jesus taught that we are better at predicting what will happen with the weather than our future. Even with all our technology and well-educated forecasters, we consistently miss the weather. Ever since the year we had all the hurricanes, we’ve had forecasts of horrible hurricane seasons, driving up insurance costs for coastal properties and helping trigger a real estate bust in Florida. Yet, those forecasts were terribly wrong. So what makes us think we can be good at predicting what life will throw at us? How many times have we been prepared for short sleeve weather in life, only to be hit with a early winter blast? No matter how well we prepare for what we believe life will throw at us, there are times when we just don’t have the right stuff. In spite of living a healthy lifestyle we receive a bad report from our

doctor. Even though we followed all the best parenting practices, a child does something stupid or rebellious. We practice defensive driving skills and have an accident free driving record and find our car’s side smashed when we come out of the mall. The point is, no matter how well we think we have it “all together,” we cannot know and prepare for everything life will throw at us. It’s not fair, but that is the way of life in a broken world. The good news is there is One who is prepared and has what it takes to make us winners in every situation. The life of faith is one filled with the presence of a living Savior, Jesus, who has overcome this world and the things we face. He’s the only one qualified to tell us how to live life because he’s the only one who beat death. The Bible never describes the Christian life as a life where we never get knocked down. It does describe it as one where we always get back up. We are horrible at predicting the weather, but the good news is we can handle what life throws at us, even when we are blindsided, because the One who lives in us is able.

Midway Church to hold Fan Day

Midway Macedonia Baptist Church is holding Fan Day October 18. After the 10:45am service, there will be tailgaiting in the parking lot. This is a time to really get to know the members of our community. For additional information, call 770-832-9605.

Parenting

We live in house with four teenagers. Years ago we use to say, “Can you imagine when all of the children are teenagers?” Well, the time has come. No more kid’s meals, no more children’s department, no more rec. dept. teams. Our world now consists of driving lessons, Friday night football games and the mass consumption of a lot of food. As my daughter was preparing to leave for college I couldn’t help but think, “But I’m not done teaching her what she needs to know.” Our goal as parents is found in the book of Proverbs where it says, “Train up a child in the way he should go.” Clear communication, useful life-skills and unconditional love are characteristics we desire to impart to our children. Modeling these characteristics is probably one of the best ways to teach our children. However due to life circumstances it can be a difficult proposition. I believe it is only through prayer and the study of God’s Word that we are enabled as parents to succeed in the challenge of effective parenting. We have to be intentional with the time we are given with our children to make the most of it and to enjoy them while they are still under our roof. So hang in there parents, study God’s Word and pray hard. - Missy Paid article by by The Discovery Church, a new church in the South Villa Rica community.

Who’s the Biggest Loser?

Provided by Charles R. Cooley, M.D. of M.D. Minor Emergency & Family Medicine, 770-4560911, 209 Cooley Dr. Life is fast. Technology is advancing. These may not seem like harmful statements, but they are hurting our children. We all have busy lives taking care of our day to day activities such as working, running errands, and taking the kids from here to there. With our busy schedules, we tend to make bad choices. Today’s busy families have fewer free moments to prepare nutritious, home-cooked meals. We tend to opt for fast foods, baked goods, vending machine snacks, and soft drinks that are generally high on fat and low on nutritional value. If fact, one of the largest soft drink manufacturers states that consumers drink their beverages at a rate of more than 1.4 billion servings a day. With the advancement of technology, our kids are inundated with more and more video games, computer activities, and more options from the television. On the whole, kids are spending less time being active and more time in front of the TV, computer, or video-game console. From fast food to electronics, quick and easy seems to be the mindset of most people. Because of this, in the last 30 years, a growing number of kids and teenagers have developed weight problems. Today, 1 out of 3 kids between the ages of 2 and 19 are overweight. That’s over 25 million kids. It’s hard to feel good about your body when you have too much weight to carry, even for a child. Being overweight can make you feel embarrassed, sad, or even angry. Overweight children are also prone to low self-esteem that stems from being teased, bullied, or rejected by peers. Kids who are unhappy with their weight may be more likely than average weight children to develop unhealthy dieting habits and eating disorders, and may also be prone to depression, as well as substance abuse. Overweight children are at risk for developing medical problems that affect their present and future health and can have direct impact on their quality of life. Some of these problems include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. They may also experience bone and joint problems, shortness of breath, liver and gall bladder disease, and sleep disorders. Risk factors present in childhood can lead to serious adult medical conditions like heart disease, heart failure, and stroke. Preventing or treating obesity in children may reduce the risk of developing these conditions as they grow older. The best way to fight against this constant battle is to get active. This does not mean that your child must have a regimented exercise routine, just that they need to be active doing something: jumping

rope, playing of the jungle gym, playing hide and go seek, playing dodge ball, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Being active means sitting less and moving more. Eating healthy is another part of fighting against obesity. Remember, our kids don’t buy the food – we do. We can help our children by buying more fruits and vegetables and less convenience foods. We can limit sweetened beverages, even fruit juice, cook lower fat recipes, and limit the number of times we eat out. Children can’t change their exercise and eating habits by themselves. They need the support and encouragement of their family and friends. Help your child find the fun in being active and the variety of different foods. If we emphasize the benefits of exercise and foster their natural inclination to run around, explore, and eat only when hungry – not out of boredom – a healthy weight should take care of itself.

Tanner Cardiologist Named Fellow of American Society of Nuclear Cardiology

Onaje Greene, MD, FACC, FASNC, a cardiologist on the medical staff at Tanner Health System, has been recognized as a fellow of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC). Dr. Greene is board-certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease and nuclear cardiology with Tanner Heart & Vascular Specialists, part of Tanner Medical Group. He practices with Christopher Arant, MD, Shazib Khawaja, MD, FACC, FSCAI, and William Rogers, MD, FACC. Dr. Greene joined Tanner’s medical staff in 2006. The fellow designation recognizes ASNC members who have fulfilled both the training and per-

formance requirements for certification through the Certification Board of Nuclear Cardiology. “This is a wonderful honor for Dr. Greene and our entire cardiology program,” said Loy Howard, president and CEO of Tanner Health System. “Dr. Greene has long been a tremendous asset to Tanner’s cardiac services, and this designation speaks to his unyielding work to move our cardiac program to the next level.” ASNC is a professional society that provides members with a variety of continuing medical education programs related to nuclear cardiology. To become a fellow, a physician must be a member of ASNC for two consecutive years, be board-certified in nuclear cardiology and have letters of recommendation from three nuclear cardiology professionals. Nuclear cardiology has been pivotal in the noninvasive assessment of cardiovascular disease. It uses noninvasive techniques to assess blood flow, evaluate the ability of the heart to adequately pump and supply the body with blood and provide images of the size and location of heart attacks. This state-of-the-art technology allows physicians to make diagnoses and better guide treatment for patients with cardiovascular disease. Tanner Heart & Vascular Specialists have offices in Carrollton, Villa Rica and Bremen. For more information, visit www.heartandvascularspecialists.org or call 770-836-9326.

elbow brace can help to alleviate the stress on the elbow. Persisting symptoms may require a visit to the doctor for corticosteroid injections and/or a referral to a physical therapist. In rare cases, surgery may be required. Preventative measures to avoid medial or lateral epicondylitis may include avoidance of repetitive activities that overtax the elbows, wrists, and forearms or alternating the use of right and left hand for such activities. Using proper lifting techniques i.e. palm up versus palm down when carrying luggage or grocery bags. Proper work station set-up i.e. use of wrist and elbow supports when working on the computer. It is also important to maintain good strength and flexibility to the wrist, elbow, forearm, and shoulder muscles.

Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow 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 We often have new patients come into our clinic with questions about tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. They are both causes of pain to the elbow joint. The medical term for tennis elbow is lateral epicondylitis and it occurs on the outside portion of the elbow. The medical term for golfer’s elbow is medial epicondylitis and it occurs on the inside portion of the elbow. Although participation in tennis or golf may cause the onset of tennis or golfer’s elbow, these terms are actually misnomers in that in a majority of cases, people that suffer from these symptoms do not participate in either sport on a significant basis. Instead, the primary causes of these symptoms are repetitive motions involving the arms such as pushing, pulling, and twisting. Other causes may include a poor work station set up, improper lifting technique, and repeated shock and vibration to the elbows. Epicondylitis is caused from adding stress on the muscles of the forearm that pulls the muscle tendons away from their attachment at the elbow. When this excess tension occurs, small tears occur in the tendon causing bleeding and inflammation to accumulate over the tendon’s attachment at the elbow. Early signs of lateral or medial epicondylitis are tenderness to touch, pain with lifting and gripping, and tightness in the forearms. As the condition worsens, individuals will experience more pain with less stressful activities, decreased strength with gripping and lifting, and shooting pains in the elbow and forearms. Treatment for epicondylitis involves rest from the offending activity and the use of ice and anti-inflammatory medicine. The use of an
