THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW!!
Highway 78 Body Shop of Lithia Springs
would like to make you aware of some of
the laws and your rights as a vehicle owner
and a customer. You have the right
to choose the body shop of your
choice. It is not the insurance company’s
choice. Many insurance companies try to
force you to go to their network shops.
Network shops are shops that have made
deals with the insurance companies to
lower their prices. One of the tactics that
the insurance companies use to steer their
customers to these network shops is to
tell you that if you use a shop out of their
network that they will not guarantee the

repairs made. This is very misleading.
Here at Highway 78 Body Shop,
we guarantee all repairs as long
as you own the vehicle. We also
have been in business since 1962 under
the same owner and at the same location.
Remember, a guarantee is only as good as
the shop’s reputation and stability.
Thank you for considering our shop as
your choice for your repair facility. If you
have any questions, please feel free to
ask. We are here to help you!! We also
offer window tinting and headlight
restoration to help you see better

Practical Reminders
By Judith Ann. Judith Ann is a professional photogra-
pher located in a 100 year old Victorian home turned stu-
dio. www.JudithAnnPhotography.com • 770-222-1577
Hello everyone! Spring is hopefully beginning to spring out of
the ground as you read this March article. I wanted to encourage
you to not go crazy buying the most expensive equipment right
away. It is very possible to get very nice photos with an inexpen-
sive point and shoot. The more photos you take, the more you’ll
know about what kind of camera to get when it’s time to upgrade.
The one piece of equipment outside of your camera that I think
is very important is a tripod. If you have shaky hands (and trust
me, you do) even an inexpensive tripod is worth its weight in gold.
When I got my first tripod, my satisfaction with my shots skyrock-
eted. As a reminder, keep your camera with you all the time.
Photo-ops often come when you least expect it. If you can keep
your equipment relatively simple - just a small camera bag and
a tripod - you might be able to take advantage of some of those
unexpected opportunities. Or, if your phone has a camera, use it
to take “notes” on scenes you’d like to return to with your regular
camera. Another fun tip is to make a list of shots you’d like to
get. For those times you can’t carry your camera around, keep
a small notebook to jot down places you’d like to come back to
photograph. Make sure to note any important details, like the
lighting, so you can come back at the same time of day or when
the weather’s right. Hope these little pointers help you along the
way as you become better at your photography. As a final note,
don’t overlook the mundane subjects for photography. Often the
simple subject makes the best shot! Happy Clicking, Judith Ann

Monk Eye, Mumblety Peg, and Mud
By Neal Beard. Neal Beard is a long time Douglas
County resident who writes about days gone by in this
area. Email nealbeard@bellsouth.net.
The government has decreed that a boy who brings a
pocketknife to school is a wanted, wild west desperado,
a bank robber, a serial killer, a terrorist, a putrid influence on society,
and a danger to old ladies, all rolled into one malcontented, mania-
cal, mischief maker. The guilty are expelled from school and exiled to
outer Slobovia until the next 500 year flood.
Before “big brother” most boys carried a pocketknife. At Bill Arp
school we swapped knives, threw knives, and played mumblety peg.
This is a game where the player flips the knife from a number of pre-
scribed positions, the object being to stick the blade in the ground. If
the player fails on any move, he loses his turn and the other boy plays.
The winner is the first to make it through every position.
The victor hits a wooden peg three times with the back of his knife,
driving it as deeply into the ground as possible. The loser has to dig it
out with his teeth. Gritty, red dirt smiles identify losers.
Monk Eye bragged that he was the best mumblety peg player in all
of Bill Arp; and he was good. With his long thin bladed knife he had
never lost.
A wiry, red headed, pug nosed, strip of a boy, named Donny,
enrolled at Bill Arp in 1950; he was tough as a pine knot. A bully
threatened him on his first day and got a bloody nose and a fat lip as
souvenirs.
No one, except Monk Eye, ever confronted the boy again; he dared
him to play mumblety peg. The red headed boy had a pitiful looking
30 | CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS Local Perspectives
old Barlow knife. The blade was wobbly, and
brass brads stubbed up where fake pearl han-
dles had once resided.
It was a rainy day and the schoolyard was a
loblolly of red mud. Monk Eye grinned and said
to me, “Did you see that ole knife Red’s got? I hope he likes eatin’
mud.”
Monk Eye played first. With a bold smirk he said, “I’m a’goin’ all
the way Red.” He held the knife in the palm of his up turned hand; with
a skillful flip it stuck in the ground. He expertly executed one position
after another until he got to his chin. In this position he held his thumb
against his chin, placed the knifepoint on the ball of his thumb and
flipped the knife. It stuck in the mud at an angle, slowly tilted and fell.
Red started through the moves, and it was evident why his old Bar-
low was worn out. This wasn’t his first time to play mumblety peg. The
last play was to drop the knife over the shoulder. Like a guided missile,
with a red mud fetish, the Barlow found its mark. Monk Eye looked
queasy.
The rickety knife drove the peg out of sight. Mumbling and mutter-
ing Monk Eye began biting and spitting red mud until he pulled the
peg out. His face was awash with mud. It was in his eyebrows, up his
nose, and in his teeth. Any sow would have been proud to claim him.
Monk Eye wasn’t prone to admit defeat. As he passed through the
crowd of snickering boys he said, “he wouldn’t of won if he didn’t have
that big ‘ole heavy knife.”
The Bible says, “Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit
before a fall”. The contemporary interpretation is, “don’t defy a fellow
with a worn out knife – unless you have a taste for red mud.

learn even the tiniest historical importance, such as communing at the

Junior League in midst of annual ‘Book Brigade’
The Junior League of Douglas County is currently in the midst of
their annual “Book Brigade”, a community placement which supplies
books to third grade students who attend ten selected elementary
schools in the county. The program reaches nearly 1,000 students.
Each third grade child is able to select one book from a large selec-
tion of varying levels. This program has been one of many contribu-
tions to Douglas County by the Junior League for several years.
Additionally, Junior League of Douglas County, in a joint effort
with 11 other Georgia Junior League groups, is promoting literacy
through an initiative called “The Million Minute Read”. Each class
during the “Book Brigade” is read a story, prior to making their book
selections. Reading aloud to children is one of the best ways to facili-
tate their oral language and vocabulary development. Studies have
proven that children who are exposed to a rich vocabulary have a
greater chance of success in school. By third grade, children must
be reading to learn, not learning to read. It’s a critical component of
early childhood education, and a great opportunity for Junior League
volunteers to make a lasting impact in the lives of children.
Any questions regarding Junior League of Douglas County can be
directed to their website at www.jldouglascounty.org.

Stay-at-Home Parents: Thinking of Returning to Work?
Submitted by Patti H. Puckett, Financial Advisor, Ameriprise
Financial, 8687 Hospital Drive, 678-391-0324
Assess industry opportunities. The job market is
undergoing a major overhaul. Failures in the banking,
housing and automobile industries have pummeled en-
tire employment sectors and job categories. You’ll need to do your
homework to determine whether your industry is still viable and
what job opportunities are available. You may need to broaden
your thinking about where your skills fit in the marketplace.
Estimate a realistic income. According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, average weekly wages for private-sector workers have
taken a dip and may not rise for some time. Prospective employers
expect applicants to be flexible and understand that hard times
have hit the corporate coffers as well, affecting everyone’s pay rate.
Unless you’re in a growing field with a shortage of qualified ap-
plicants, be prepared to adjust your salary expectations before you
hit the pavement.
Factor in childcare costs. If you opted out of the workforce
to care for your children, childcare will be a cost consideration
when you resume employment. Explore your options for safe and
affordable childcare in your community. Your school-age children
may be eligible for structured before- and after-school childcare
programs at more affordable rates than private arrangements. De-
pending on your earning potential, the cost of caring for several
small children during the workday may delay your decision to go
back to work.
Weigh other costs of being a working adult. Don’t over-
look other costs associated with employment that will affect your
monthly budget. Estimate your expenses for an updated wardrobe,
more frequent visits to the beauty parlor, extra wear and tear on
the family car, more frequent trips to the gas station, dining out and
other expenditures that may diminish your net income.
Weigh the value of retraining. If the recession has affect-
ed demand for your skill set, you may need additional training
36 | CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS Money & Finance
or education to make yourself more attractive to employers. Use
the Internet or talk to individuals employed in your desired field to
determine the classes or training you need to increase your market-
ability. The cost of retraining may slow your reentry to the working
world or might mean you need to take a lower-paying job in the
short term until you can bring your skills up to par.
Consult a financial advisor. A financial advisor can help you
review your financial circumstances and identify next steps that will
help you meet your financial goals and objectives. An honest ap-
praisal of your situation, your skills and current job prospects will
help you assess the risks and rewards of staying at home versus
returning to the workforce and arrive at a decision that’s right for
your family.

Traditional IRAs: Savings Vehicles with Tax Advantages
Courtesy of Janice Thompson - Agent, ®Registered Rep-
resentative, State Farm Insurance - 2090 Fairburn Rd. - 770-
489-1400, Member NASD. Email: janice.thompson.cexv@

There are many ways for you to build a retirement
nest egg. One of the more popular is the traditional Individual
Retirement Account, or IRA. Tax deferral is one of the reasons for
its popularity.
Contributions to a traditional IRA may be deductible from your
income, lowering the federal income tax for which you are re-
sponsible. Federal income tax on your IRA will be deferred until
you begin taking withdrawals, usually when you have retired and
may be in a lower tax bracket. Generally, you can qualify for a
tax deduction if you are not an active participant in an employer-
sponsored retirement plan.
For 2010, if you are an active participant in a retirement plan,
your deduction for contributions to a traditional IRA will be re-
duced (and then phased out) if your modified adjusted gross in-
come (MAGI) is:
* Up to $89,000 for a full deduction; $89,000 - $109,000
for a partial deduction for a married couple filing a joint return or
a qualifying widow(er).
* Up to $56,000 for a full deduction; partial deduction
$56,000 - $66,000 for a single individual or head of household,
or
* Less than $10,000 for a married individual filing a separate
return
You must begin taking minimum annual withdrawals from your
traditional IRA by April 1 of the year after the year you reach age
70 ½. Taxable withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax
rates.
There are a number of options available to you when you
opening an IRA. Various investments may be used depending on
factors such as your time horizon, risk tolerance, and other finan-
cial goals. Talk to a qualified financial professional to find out
how you can take advantage of the tax benefits of a traditional
IRA.

fallen below your purchase price. Other investments – for example,
certificates of deposit – offer inflation risk, meaning the fixed return
they provide may not keep pace with inflation.
In addition to learning about the risks associated with various
investments, it’s also important to understand the following three
concepts: risk tolerance, risk capacity and required risk. Let’s con-
sider each of them:
Risk tolerance — It’s useful to know your own risk tolerance.
If you are an aggressive investor by nature, you may be willing to
take on a higher degree of risk in exchange for potentially higher
returns. If you’re a conservative investor, you might lean toward
sacrificing higher returns for greater stability of principal. By under-
standing what level of risk you can comfortably tolerate, you’ll be
in a better position to stick with your investment strategy through up
and down markets.
Risk capacity — While your risk tolerance defines how comfort-
able you are with risk, your risk capacity refers to how much risk you
can handle based on your financial situation, goals and timeline.
When you are young and have many years to invest, you have
more time to overcome losses, and so you have a greater ability to
handle volatility — a greater risk capacity — than someone who
is retired. Also, the more discretionary income you have, the larger
your risk capacity, because you won’t be as dependent on your in-
vestment portfolio to help provide the income you’ll eventually need
for your long-term goals, such as retirement.
Required risk — The higher the return necessary to reach your
goals, the more potential risk you’ll need to take on — in other
words, the greater your “required risk.” For example, when it comes
to retirement, the return you’ll need from your investments depends
on several factors: your age, your retirement lifestyle, your avail-
able sources of income, your desired legacy and so on. To achieve
your goals, you’ll need to find the right balance between the returns
you need or anticipate and the amount of risk you are comfortable
with.
Ultimately, your challenge will be to balance your risk tolerance,
risk capacity and required risk as factors in a comprehensive invest- SPRING SPECIAL!
ment strategy. By creating this strategy and sticking with it over time,
you’ll be able to make investment decisions based on your needs
and goals rather than emotionally reacting to the constant changes
in market conditions.
Over time, of course, your thoughts about risk may evolve to
reflect changes in your life and objectives. As this happens, you
will want to review your investment mix with your financial advisor,
and make whatever changes are required to help you stay on track
toward your long-term goals.

Getting Ready for Tax Time in 2010
By T. Dennis Connally. T. Dennis Connally is a certified pub-
lic accountant with an office at 8483 Campbellton St., across
from the post office. His office can be reached at 770-920-
2890 or www.tdconnally.com.
With April 15 approaching, you may find it helpful to
take one last look at important tax developments that oc-
curred during 2009 to see what impact they may have on next year’s
tax strategies. To help, we have prepared a list of 2009 tax develop-
ments, selected from the perspective of their importance to you in
2010.
Net operating losses. Net operating losses took center stage in
2009 as the economic downturn continued to generate NOLs that
were useless to many businesses as immediate cash generators under
the regular two year carryback provisions. The five-year 2008 NOL
carryback for small businesses of the American Recovery and Rein-
vestment Act of 2009 and the modified five-year 2008 or 2009 NOL
carryback option under the Worker, Homeownership, and Business
Assistance Act of 2009 created much IRS guidance on elections and
refund claims. Since the modified five-year election between 2008
and 2009 need not be made until the extended due dates for 2009
tax returns (although the business pressure to claim cash refunds im-
mediately remains intense), NOLs - how to compute them, how to
generate them and how to claim them --are guaranteed to continue
to be a hot focal point in 2010, as will the intense business pressure
to claim cash refunds on the election as soon as possible.
Tax gap. As part of its effort to close the “tax gap” - the difference
between what taxpayers owe and what is collected - the IRS (with
encouragement from Capitol Hill) set into motion in 2009 an array
38 | CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS Money & Finance
of programs and initiatives that will expand in 2010. In addition to
the offshore compliance initiative, IRS efforts will include a new em-
ployment tax audit program, plans to more tightly regulate tax return
preparers, development of rules for credit card reporting on mer-
chants, and laying the groundwork for implementing basis reporting
by stockbrokers, as well as continuing the use of penalty provisions to
create a virtual second tier of tax liability for missteps in determining
when a tax strategy “crosses the line.”
Homebuyer tax credit. The first-time homebuyer tax credit’s
latest iteration extends through April 30, 2010 (or closings before
July 1 on contracts executed before May 1). The credit has certainly
been one of the most publicized tax breaks in recent years. As a re-
sult, many homeowners and real estate agents have acted first and
then called on their tax professional to “confirm and collect” on the
credit. Nevertheless, after-the-fact strategies are available for both
2009 and 2010 purchases. This is especially true in connection with
the long-time homebuyer portion of the credit under which income,
residency, and the election to claim on the prior year’s return offer
some flexibility.
Change of accounting. In 2009, the IRS made significant revi-
sions to its required procedures for taxpayers to obtain automatic IRS
consent to a change in accounting method. A new revenue proce-
dure added a number of methods for which taxpayers may obtain
automatic consent and modified the rules that must be followed for
obtaining automatic consent to an accounting method change. More
companies are looking at accounting methods as part of their tax
planning to enhance cash flow. Based on that evidence, filings of
accounting method changes should continue into 2010 at a record
pace.

Blissful Skin Care

Exfoliation is your Friend
GriefShare meets at Central Baptist Church
GriefShare, a 13-week support and grief recovery group, meets
at Central Baptist Church (5811 Central Church Road) on Wednes-

in Douglasville, 770-942-1100
People often ask me what they can do to make their
skin look better. My recommendation to them usually
involves some sort of exfoliation process. Many people cleanse and
moisturize, but adding regular exfoliation to your skincare regimen
will improve your skin in many ways. When we exfoliate, our skin
becomes healthier looking, less congested, and more radiant.
As we age, our cell renewal process slows down. In your 20’s,
your skin sheds and renews every 12 to 19 days. In mid-life this
changes to every 28 to 35 days, and up to 90 days in maturity.
No wonder many people often complain of dull, dry skin! Exfo-
liation stimulates cell renewal, and causes the skin to shed and
renew faster than the body can on its own. Newly exfoliated skin
is smoother, retains moisture better, and makes the application of
makeup easier.
There are two main types of exfoliation; chemical and physical.
Most people are familiar with physical exfoliation. This includes
products that have grains, seeds, or granules in them that are used
to physically scrub off dead skin cells. Microdermabrasion is also
a form of physical exfoliation. Chemical exfoliants are products
that contain salicylic acid, lactic acid, kojic acid, glycolic acid, and
enzymes. These type of exfoliants break down dead skin cells and
dissolve the intercellular glue that binds the skin cells together.
There are no hard and fast rules about which exfoliation type
is best. In most cases, I prefer physical exfoliants on normal to
oily skin types and chemical exfoliants on dry, mature skin. Prod-
ucts with salicylic acid in them are also very helpful for those who
have acneic skin. One of my favorite exfoliants is Daily Microfoliant
by Dermalogica, because it is a chemical and physical exfoliant,
and is gentle enough to be used daily. There are many other good
exfoliation products available. Most cosmetic representatives and
skincare therapists will be able to help you select the right one for
your skin. Be sure to use the product as directed, because over-
exfoliation is not your friend and can irritate the skin.

10 Surprising Foods for Weight Loss
By Leslie Austin - Leslie Austin has been in the fitness
industry for 16 years as a Personal Trainer and Fitness
Instructor. She is currently employed with Gold’s Gym in
Douglasville. You can reach her at LesAus10@aol.com
Eggs: Overweight adults who ate two eggs for breakfast lost 65
percent more weight (and felt more energetic) than those who started
the morning with an equally caloric bagel, recent studies show. Other
findings reveal that egg-eaters consume 300 fewer calories per day,
adding up to a loss of three pounds per month. Eggs help level out
blood sugar, provide energy-boosting protein and are full of nutri-
ents.
Sauer Power: The fermented cabbage called sauerkraut contains
a “friendly” bacteria proven to enhance digestion, speed up weight
loss and boost immunity. Rich in vitamins and potassium, sauerkraut
has only 27 calories per serving. Stuff it in your sandwich, heat it as a
side dish or load it onto a baked potato.
Spuds: “Potatoes got a bad rap during the low-carb craze, but
they are a perfect weight loss food – a blend of nutrients, fiber and
protein with a low-calorie price tag,” says Jessica Smith, Wellness
and Nutrition coach. One baked white potato (with skin) offers six
grams of protein, and over 1,500 mg of potassium, for under 300
calories. Top it with salsa or veggies and low-fat cheese for a starchy
side dish or snack.
Go Greek: Rich, creamy, filling…and healthy? Talk to anyone
who has discovered Greek plain yogurt for breakfast or dessert and
they will tell you it’s easy to forego those midnight fridge raids (not to
mention the midmorning snack attack).
Quinoa: Deemed “the supergrain of the future” by Deborah
Klein, author of 200 Superfoods That Will Save Your Life (McGraw
Hill), quinoa is a high-fiber and high-protein replacement for rice
that’s packed with nutrients (and gluten-free, to boot). “Since this
grain is so high in fiber, giving you more satiety per chew, quinoa can
help prevent overeating and thus help with weight loss,” says Klein.
Artichoke: Artichokes are the perfect weight loss food, an amaz-
ing source of fiber. One boiled artichoke has 150 calories, with over
10 grams of protein and plenty of calcium and folic acid.
Barley: As you’ve probably concluded, fiber is your friend when
it comes to weight loss. Barley’s packed with the stuff, helping food
digest smoothly as it curbs hunger for hours. The whole grain has
promoted weight loss for 2,500 years, even impressing ancient phy-
sicians who endorsed it for shedding pounds way back in the day.
Black Beans: Above and beyond their antioxidants, they regulate
blood sugar to stave off cravings and bouts of overeating.
Paste: Canned tomato paste is a great weight-loss food, provid-
ing five grams of dietary fiber per half-cup. Nutritionists recommend
using a can to thicken spaghetti sauce and tortillas.
Flax: Here’s where a little addition to your food results in subtrac-
tion…on the scale. “Ground flaxseed is the number-one key food for
weight loss,” says Klein, pointing to its high amount of fiber.

Nail Care Pointers - Continued
A maintenance recovery program helps women to start over after
damaging, long-term artificial nail use. A recovery program and a
series of professional waterless manicures is the key to a successful
healing and recovery process. Starting over and making the transi-
tion from artificial nails back to healthy natural nails can be a long
process, but with patience and commitment, the change can be
made. A formal recovery program provides the discipline, commit-
ment, and accountability required to effectively heal the nail dam-
age. The encouragement and support that you receive will help you
to overcome the temptation to give up and go get more artificial
nails put back on. If you can overcome that temptation then a big
part of the battle will be won.
The first step is to have the artificial acrylic nails soaked off gently
in a warm acetone solution. If artificial nails are pried off rather
than gently soaked off, the prying takes part of the natural nail with
it, causing injury to the nail bed and creating a breeding ground
for infection.
The next step is to regularly get professional waterless manicures,
warm wax hand dips, and fluoride nail hardening treatments. Regu-
lar professional manicures are a vital part of the successful recovery
process. An effective recovery program will also provide additional
homecare products to apply in between appointments.
An adequate and effective recovery requires following a specifi-
cally designed daily homecare maintenance plan using products
made for treating damaged nails. A good recovery program will in-
clude complete instructions designed by a licensed Manicurist and
Onyxologist and all of the recovery products needed.
If you have decided to start over after artificial nails, sign up for
a professional maintenance recovery program.

What Are the Nutritional Needs of Young Athletes?
By Samantha Hostettler, owner of Champion Karate
and Fitness. 2145 W. County Line Road, 770-947-5212,
www.ChampionKarateandFitness.com
If your child is eating healthy, well-balanced meals and
snacks, your child is probably getting the nutrients that he or she needs to
perform well in sports. But kids who are involved in strenuous endurance
sports like cross-country running or competitive swimming, which involve
1 1/2 to 2 hours of activity at a time, may need to consume more food
to keep up with their increased energy demands. Most athletic young
people will naturally crave the amount of food their bodies need, but if
you are concerned that your child is getting too much or too little food,
you may want to check in with your child’s doctor. It’s a good idea to
make sure that your child is getting the following nutrients:
Vitamins and minerals: Your child needs a variety of vitamins and
minerals. Brightly colored foods such as spinach, carrots, squash, and
peppers tend to be packed with them. It’s especially important your child
get plenty of calcium and iron. Calcium helps your child build healthy
bones, which are important especially if your child breaks a bone or gets
a stress fracture.
Protein: Protein can help build your child’s muscles, along with regu-
lar training and exercise. But there’s no need to overload on protein
because too much of it can lead to dehydration and calcium loss. Pro-
tein-rich foods include fish, lean red meat and poultry, dairy products,
nuts, soy products, and peanut butter.
Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates provide energy for the body. Some
diet plans have urged weight-conscious adults to steer clear of carbohy-
drates or “carbs” as they’re often called. But for a young athlete, carbo-
hydrates are an important source of fuel. There’s not any need for your
child to do any “carb loading” or eat a lot of carbs in advance of a big
game.

Nothing But the Truth
By Kerry Patuka. She is a degreed and certified educa-
tor, licensed minister and founder of Drive 5 Ministries,
a consulting, speaking and training ministry for churches
and children’s ministry. Contact her at kerrydrive5@ya-
hoo.com
“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to
deceive!” - Sir Walter Scott
I love that quote and it often flits through my mind when I either
overhear an untruth or I am being presented one right to my face.
Unfortunately, it seems that we have a problem with the truth here in
America. How many of America’s political and community leaders
have been caught lying? Just look at the headlines for that answer.
Even sadder are the number of spiritual leaders who have also been
less than truthful. When so many of our leaders – leaders who are
supposed to have good moral and ethical character - have difficul-
ties in this area, how are we supposed to be able to teach our kids
to be truthful?
The good and the bad news is that it all comes back to us. We
are their number one influencers, so start out by looking at how
truthful you are in your daily life. Explaining to the police officer
that you weren’t really going that fast; adjusting your weight on your
driver’s license; or telling someone you “forgot” something when
you really just didn’t want to do it, aren’t exactly great examples.
Yep, we all have done these things or things similar to them. The
question is, do you use these sort of half-truths to make your life
easier or better? When it comes to our children, we expect honesty.
But if our kids see that we use some untruths to make our lives
easier, why wouldn’t they do the same thing?
I like Sir Walter Scott’s quote because the old English way of
speaking gives us the phrase “first we practice to deceive”. That’s
hard hitting because as parents we often give our kids their first
practice in deceiving. Sometimes it’s innocent: “Grandma saw the
book we bought for her birthday, we’ll tell her it’s for your teacher.”
Sometimes, it’s not so innocent, “Tell them your still seven so we can
save money on your ticket.”
By about age six, children understand the difference between a
truth and a lie. From approximately the ages of seven to 12, our
kids are concrete thinkers, which means they are very literal. So
they know that when you’re asking them to lie that it is not the truth
44 | CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS Marriage & Family
and they learn that lying is okay when mom or dad tells you to lie.
As they get older and learn to generalize, they see that lying often
benefits mom or dad, so it’s a natural progression for them to use
lies to benefit themselves.
We need to live our lives as truthfully as possible at all times.
Our kids are always watching and learning from us. So we need to
also take the time to explain why we might not be truthful at times,
such as for an upcoming surprise party for a friend. They need to
see truth from us and they need to understand how lies can hurt us
and others. Instead of just being angry when they lie, we also need
to understand why our older children lie. This will help us correct,
teach and guide them.
We want to connect the ideas of truth and trustworthiness in our
children’s heads and hearts. Trustworthiness is being honest, telling
the truth, keeping promises, and being loyal so people can trust
you. Trustworthy people don’t lie, cheat or steal. They have integrity
and the moral courage to do the right thing and to stand up for their
beliefs even when it is difficult to do so.
As they get older, they will want to do more things with friends
and away from us. We can help set them us for success, by first
making wise decisions on what they are allowed to do, who they are
allowed to do it with and when and where they are allowed to go,
etc. We also need to trust them, trust their decision-making process
and trust that they are being truthful. Our kids need to understand
that when trust is lost, then so are their privileges.
A great passage of Scripture to use for ourselves and for them is
Proverbs 23:13-19: Don’t fail to correct your children. You won’t kill
them by being firm and it may even save their lives. My children, if
you show good sense, I will be happy and if you are truthful, I will
really be glad. Don’t be jealous of sinners, but always honor the
LORD. Then you will truly have hope for the future. Listen to me, my
children! Be wise and have enough sense to follow the right path.
Use real-life examples to talk with your kids about truth and trust-
worthiness. Use those headlines from our leaders who lie as dis-
cussion starters. Talk about why they lied and what happened. Ask
questions such as: did they think it would benefit them; who did they
hurt with their untruths; are they still trustworthy; how did it impact
their lives?
Remember that developing truth and trustworthiness is not an
overnight process but a life-long one. Take every opportunity to live
it, model it, discuss it and teach it.

succeeding as a single parent
Lucky or Blessed: Is There a Pot of Gold at the End of the Single-Parenting Rainbow?
By Melinda G. Perkins - Founder of Naomi’s Vine-
yard, Inc • www.naomisvineyard.cjb.net • naomisvine-
yard@yahoo.com
The first thing you need to ask yourself is, “Is there really
such a thing called “luck” or are we “blessed”? Well, I’m
a firm believer that before you take a stance, you should always make
sure you’ve got your facts straight. It’s always best to start at the begin-
ning, which for us will be to look at the definitions. Luck (n): the force that
seems to operate for good or ill in a person’s life, as in shaping circum-
stances, events, or opportunities. Blessed: divinely or supremely favored;
bringing happiness and thankfulness; to protect or guard from evil.
What does “the force that seems to operate…as in shaping” mean?
When you are shaping something or someone to behave or go in a cer-
tain direction, then you are “training” them. What does “train” mean?
The dictionary says “to develop or form the habits, thoughts, or behavior
of (a child or other person) by discipline and instruction”. Is this not what
we do with our children? Of course it is! So, I guess the question here
is - when it comes to single-parenting, are we “lucky” or “blessed when
it comes to raising our children without that second person? It’s not a
question that is answered easily or in 700 words or less.
There will always be a great debate as to who has the best ideas
and claims when it come to child rearing; however, and I say this with a
humble heart and many battle scars, for all of us it truly is the toughest
job that you will ever have and love all at the same time.
I have two children, a son in high school and a daughter, who gradu-
ated year before last. And, as I’m sure many of you do, I’m constantly

re-evaluating my role as a single-parent. I think about the poor choices
I made in my younger years that, had I listened to my mother, I would
not be going to college at age 40, to get a degree in psychology, of all
things.
Now, please understand, I am in no way saying that because of this
I am or you are a bad parent because you’ve made some bad parent-
ing choices while on this journey. We all have! What we have to do is
remind ourselves that we are doing what God intended for two people to
do. It has always been God’s plan since the creation of Adam and Eve.
My next few columns will be dedicated to parenting issues with chil-
dren of all ages, especially teenage and beyond. God has seen me
through some really interesting moments these last ten years and I am
always amazed at how many of us are going through the same thing. My
goal is and will be to give encouragement and hopefully wisdom as we
journey on this path together. Remind yourself daily that “parenting does
NOT equal perfection”.
Lesson 1: I am and commit to doing the best I can with the knowledge
I have at the time. Activity: To gain new knowledge daily and apply it.
Application: At the end of each day take a moment to reflect on your
choices and how they affected you as a person and a single-parent.
Without guilt or beating yourself up, is there anything you could do differ-
ently to make an outcome better? This is also something great to do with
your kids because it teaches them a social and life skill. In addition, it
allows for family time and best of all…IT’S FREE! I recently read a quote
by Zebco, a company who makes fishing equipment. It simply states,
“Don’t let your kids be the ones who got away”.

Pet Set Pet Care Tip
Spay or Neuter Equals Protection
By Dixie Popham - Owner, Pet Set Grooming • 3313
Hwy. 5 Across from Publix • 770-949-0579
Spaying a female dog by removing her ovaries and
uterus eliminates her chance of developing ovarian and
uterus cancer or developing pyometra, a life threatening uterine
infection.
If spayed before her first heat, typically at about six months of
age, she has a nearly zero percent chance of developing mammary
cancer. Although her risk of mammary cancer increases with each
heat cycle she experiences, a later spay still gives some protection.

Additionally, a spayed female is more pleasant to live with. Intact
female dogs, especially when in heat, have an increased incidence
of aggression, can exhibit erratic behaviors, and have an increased
propensity to roam. During heat, she will have vaginal discharge
and attract neighborhood dogs.
Neutering a male dog by removing his testicles prevents testicular
diseases, including cancer, and reduces or eliminates the odds of
developing prostate diseases. If neutered before entering puberty at
about six months of age, a male dog is usually less aggressive and
territorial and tends to do less roaming, marking, and self-stimulation.
Neutering after puberty (and the onset of unpleasant male behaviors)
can still reduce, but may not completely eliminate, these behaviors.
After surgery, dogs go home either the same day or the next. For
the next seven to 10 days, you must keep your dog dry, no bathing
or swimming, and your female dog quiet, no running, jumping, or
strenuous activity. Prevent your dog from licking the stitches after
surgery, and check them for swelling or discharge.

Thanks for helping local animals!
By Debra Y. Milton, Owner, Four Paws Pet-Sitting Service
On behalf of the Hungry Bowl pet food drive, I would like to this
opportunity to thank members of our local community for donating to
this year’s drive. I also want to thank the local businesses that served
as drop off sites for donations.
With your donations, we were able to donate over 750 pounds
of pet food to the
Douglas County
Animal Shelter, to
the Douglas County
Humane Society’s
pet pantry and to
Toni Mitchell, the
coordinator with a
feline rescue group in Douglas County.
Due to the economy, donations to pet-related charities have
decreased. Budget cuts are being made to local agencies, there
has been an increase in the number of animals being surrendered
or abandoned due to home foreclosures and job losses and many
local pet pantry shelves are bare. Your donations were very much
appreciated.

Psychologist Corner
Dyslexia: Why it Matters
By Rebecca S. Blakeman, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist - Adolescent
Child Specialty Services, 3138 Golf Ridge Blvd., Doug-
lasville, 404-310-1161, blakers1@aol.com.
I often hear from parents that they have been told that it
is not important to identify a reading disability specifically
as ‘dyslexia,’ as the label ‘Reading Disorder’ is sufficient.
As a professional specializing in learning disabilities, I strongly disagree
with this notion.
Not all reading disorders are the same, and not all reading disorders
will respond to the same intervention strategies. Aspects of reading that
can be impacted by a reading disorder include word recognition, de-
coding (sounding out), comprehension and fluency. The area of reading
impact determines what strategies are needed for effective intervention.
Some individuals have no difficulty reading words, but they cannot
understand what they read. This type of reading impairment can be
caused by several factors. Sometimes this problem occurs secondary
to untreated ADHD, as individuals have difficulty keeping their mind
focused on what they area reading (this is not a classic learning disability
per se, but would ‘look’ like a comprehension problem upon testing).
In addition, individuals with receptive language disorders (i.e., difficulty
understanding language), often have a comprehension reading disabil-
ity, as reading involves processing/understanding language. Interven-
tion should be chosen based on the root cause of the comprehension
difficulties.
Another type of reading disorder occurs when individuals can read
words accurately, but read very slowly; sometimes comprehension is im-
pacted secondary to slow reading, but not always. This can be due to
several factors, including language disorders, processing speed impair-
ments, or visual processing weaknesses. Again, intervention should be
chosen based on the root cause of the fluency difficulties.
Finally, dyslexia is a reading disorder that involves impairments in
matching sounds to letters, so that individuals cannot read unfamiliar
words, have significant spelling impairments, and may have difficulty
‘memorizing’ common sight words. Because individuals with dyslexia
cannot accurately read the words on the page, their fluency (speed) is
often extremely impaired, and they are often unable to understand what
they have read (due to having read it inaccurately). Individuals with
dyslexia need a very specific type of reading intervention…they must be
taught every spelling and reading rule of our language (rules that typical
readers ‘follow’ without ever actually being aware that the ‘rules’ exist).
These rules include learning syllable types (as the type of syllable deter-
mines the sound that letters will make within that syllable), learning all
the various sounds made by a given letter/grouping of letters, learning
the rules for choosing which letters to use to make a particular sound
(based on the number of syllables in a word/previous vowel sound in the
word), etc. By becoming ‘experts’ in the rules of our language, individu-
als with dyslexia can become proficient readers.
Thus, relying on a vague label such as ‘reading disorder’ does not
identify anything specific about the reading impairment—it could be a
comprehension problem, a fluency problem, or dyslexia—and does not
communicate the type of reading intervention that is needed to correct
the problem. If your child has been diagnosed with a ‘reading disorder,’
please discuss with the evaluator what specific reading impairments are
present, so that you can ensure the interventions chosen match the spe-
cific areas of need for your child.

Character Corner
Honesty
By Stan Copeland, Chief Deputy Sheriff and Board Member Community
Character Coalition of Douglas County, www.douglascountycharacter.org
I was asked to write an article on the character trait for the month of
February by the Community Character Coalition of Douglas County, of
which I am a proud member. In an ironic twist, the character trait turned
out to be honesty. As a law enforcement officer of more than 32 years, I
have dealt with the issue of honesty on thousands of occasions. Honesty
can have varied definitions but I see it as simply being truthful and fair.
Wow, what a concept; tell the truth and treat people fairly. America’s
founding fathers felt it was so crucial that our entire Criminal Justice
System derives its roots from the concept of honesty. Some people will
focus on the issue of honesty only as it relates to an accused, but what
about the need for honesty in the law enforcement officer making the
case; the prosecutor who is deciding how to proceed; the jury and court
officials in hearing a case; and even the corrections staff that may be re-
quired to supervise them. Other synonyms for honesty would be integrity
or trustworthiness.
I recently saw a local billboard that read “a good example has more
impact than good advice.” If there was ever a word that impacts a per-
son’s character, it would be honesty. Your level of honesty is a direct
reflection on your character and can be one of the pivotal issues on how
others see you. Look at any application for employment or education
and there will be questions directly related to honesty. Slogans such as
“honesty is the best policy,” “honest and hard working,” and “let’s be
honest” clearly demonstrate the importance that our society places on
this valued character trait. Honesty and trustworthiness can be found in
the teachings of all major faiths around the world including biblical refer-
ences such as Luke 16:10 (NIV) which states, “Whoever can be trusted
with very little can be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with
very little will also be dishonest with much.”
The choices we all make early in life can truly make a difference in how
we are perceived by others, particularly in the area of honesty. Teaching
our children that no matter how much education they receive, how many
skills they have, or what their status in society is, they will ultimately be
judged on the basis of their character. Remember that a half truth is most
often seen as a whole lie.
Community Character Coalition to award scholarships
The Community Character Coalition of Douglas County will award
three scholarships, a Gold Scholarship in the amount of $2,000.00, a

Clearly Speaking
Speech Therapy for Adults
By Tammy L. Velliquette, M.Ed., CCC-SLP/L, owner of
Clearly Speaking, Inc., 404-934-0605. areyouclearly-
speaking.com
Many people know that children are seen for speech
therapy but they forget or don’t realize that adults often
can and do benefit from it as well. This month I will cover some
reasons why an adult might be seen for speech therapy.
Adults may need speech therapy after or because of a traumatic
brain injury, stroke, voice problem, stuttering, swallowing disorder
(dysphagia) and other illnesses, accidents or injuries that affect their
reasoning, cognitive, language, organizational, articulation, voice,
fluency, and other related skills. Adults seen for reasons that were
caused by accident, illness or injury may be able to have such ser-
vices covered by insurance.
Speakers of English as a second language, often utilize speech
therapy services to reduce their accent, increase their clarity, and
improve their presentation, communication skills. These services are
not covered by insurance since they are not medical in nature.
Any adult, who is having difficulty communicating effectively in
their natural environments, could benefit from speech therapy ser-
vices to help them improve these skills. Communicating clearly and
effectively is important for many jobs but it is critical for phone sales,
fast food service when taking orders, secretarial, and other jobs
where you spend a large amount of time speaking with the public.
