Open letter to our valued customers,

My dad opened John Bleakley Ford back in 1968, when I was only 4 years old. He started with a
small group of hard working men and women who had a sincere desire to take care of his
customers like they were part of his family.
I am proud to say that, 42 years later, we strive every day to continue that tradition of making
every customer a part of the John Bleakley Ford family. We still have a hard working group of
people who welcome our customers every day with an enthusiastic smile and deep commitment
to make them feel at home here.
Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't stop me and share a story about what a pleasure it
was to do business here and how well they were treated. So many people who were first
customers of John Bleakley Ford are now personal friends, but to me, that's what it's all about.
That's what we are all about.
Of course we have the low prices, large rebates and large selection, but can't you get that most
anywhere? At John Bleakley Ford, it's really pretty simple. We just want to be your car dealer. A
place where you can do business, have someone look you in the eye, shake your hand, say thank
you and mean it.
If you have done business here before, a
heartfelt Thank You. If you haven't, give us
a try, you'll be glad you did.
Sincerely,
 WEEKLY EvEnts

review
Hello Gam-
ing Communi-
ty! This month I
will review Katamari Forever for the Playstation 3.
Katamari Forever is a game that has you rolling up objects in order to make
planets and stars because all of the stars were destroyed. The game looks incred-
ible and plays the same as previous versions but a lack of an Online Mode is a
definite downer. At this point you are probably saying, “Chadd! Why should I buy
this game?” My answer to you is this: it is still an awesome game that is fun for
the whole family. The game does have a Two-Player Versus Mode and for fans of
the previous games in the series you can play past levels but the lack of an Online
Mode makes me give this game a 3 out of 5.

Practical Tips That Make All the Difference
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
Here are some practical tips when working with your subject.
Remember that although a person’s eyes can be the most expres-
sive part of a face, don’t neglect a person’s hands. While people
speak, their hands may be constantly moving, showing a vast ar-
ray of expressions that may make incredible portraits. Even at rest,
the positions of one’s hands, whether or not they are clasped, in
a fist, relaxed to one’s side, etc. can add greatly to the expression
captured in a digital portrait. Here is another great reminder: if
you must use flash to take digital portrait photos, instead of plac-
ing your subject directly in front of a blank surface such as a wall,
have them step a few inches away from the wall. Unless you have
reflectors and external flash units to completely control the light-
ing, the flash may cause a shadow of the subject to form on the
wall. This is especially true with white or light-painted walls. Also,
it never hurts to bring along a small mirror with you if you plan
on taking digital photos of your friends, coworkers, relatives, or
new acquaintances. People like to look their best, and a mirror
provides them with a quick way to do touch-ups before you press
down the shutter. A thought to always keep in the forefront of your
mind is the way you portray yourself can make all the difference
in the world to your subject so be awake, alert and smile! When
taking formal digital portraits, note that your attitude may affect
your subject. If you show fatigue, your subject may think you are
bored or just not happy with your work.
Happy Clicking, Judith Ann

First Grade at Bill Arp School
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.
I survived the bloodiest and best seven years of my life
at the Bill Arp grammar school. My exposure to the rigor
and vigor of education began there in 1946.
The old brick building had three classrooms, an auditorium, kitchen,
lunchroom, and porch. Toilet facilities were out back - a multi-hole out-
house for boys and one for girls. Playground equipment was the coal pile,
a bent over flagpole and two basketball backboards with no hoops.
Miss Floy Stovall taught first and second grades in room one. Another
teacher taught third, fourth and fifth grades in room two. The principal
taught sixth and seventh grades in room three.
When weather prevented outside recess we played non-musical
chairs. The teacher signaled start and stop. The winner was always given
a small bar of Life Buoy soap. I was grown before I realized the same
kids – the dirty ones - always got the soap. I never won.
Serious disciplinary problems were handled in a wide skinny room
in the back called the cloakroom. A summons to meet Miss Floy in this
chamber of doom sent lightning bolts of horror zig zagging up and down
every jangling nerve.
In this wretched retreat she lectured longer than it took the Titanic to
sink – with no hope of a lifeboat. She then applied the board of educa-
tion to the seat of learning. Her instrument of correction was a ruler. I
later discovered a typical ruler is twelve inches long. The one she used
was six feet and fashioned from an oak two by four…..with nails in it.
Few problems warranted the cloakroom. Most were dispatched with
a well aimed scowl that put one’s heart in manic overdrive. A volume
32 | CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS Local Perspectives
was written in that fiery glare. It echoed with hid-
eous threats that wrought paralysis in little boys.
It said, “you’ll have to stay in every recess till you
start drawing your old age pension. One more
peep out of you young man and we’ll visit the cloak
room.”
Worse than “the eye” were her finger snaps. They could wreck a
decibel meter. When her middle finger crashed into the base of her
thumb a tsunami of sound engulfed the room. It flogged one’s ear-
drums. It shook the floor. The lights reeled like the community drunk.
Plaster flaked off the walls. The sonic boom knocked birds from the sky.
Scruffy barefoot boys in bib overalls whimpered.
On the terror scale – the cloakroom being a ten – her finger snap was
a seven. We were taught reading from little ragged, dog eared books
about Dick and Jane, and a dog named Jip. After we learned to read
Miss Floy often gave us an assignment to read to ourselves while she
taught the uppity second graders. One of the better readers would be
given the task of “telling words”. If you had a word you couldn’t read
you raised your hand and that person would come and whisper it to you.
I’m amazed at how many words I didn’t know when a pretty little girl was
“telling words” and how little help I needed when some jug eared boy
was doing it.
Miss Floy, if you’re privy to this from heaven, thank you for the monu-
mental job you did, with meager teaching resources, bending country
kids in the direction of learning and decency. I’ll never forget you and
your impact on my life.
Conscience compels me to come clean. I did win the non- musical
chairs game once……well, okay more than once. I still have a supply
of Life Buoy.

Congress’ New Year Resolution: Finish Work on Tax Bills
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.
Although the Senate approved its massive health care
reform bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Con-
gress begins 2010 with a mountain of unfinished tax legislation
from 2009. The unfinished tax bills mean practitioners and taxpay-
ers face uncertainty, at least for the immediate future, over important
issues such as estate tax, the alternative minimum tax (AMT), health
care reform, and more. Some of these bills are on the fast-track for
approval in early 2010; others will wait for Congress to finish work
on higher priority items.
Estate tax. Effective for decedents dying on or after January 1,
2009, the traditional federal estate tax with its stepped-up basis at
death rules no longer apply. New carryover basis at death rules ap-
ply. In addition, the generation skipping transfer (GST) tax does not
apply to generation skipping transfers made after December 31,
2009. The federal give tax, however, does continue, albeit in modi-
fied form from 2009.
All of these changes were set in motion by the Economic Growth
and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA), which abol-
ished the federal estate tax for 2010 but only for 2010. At that time,
supporters expected the temporary elimination of the federal estate
tax to be made permanent before 2010. They lacked sufficient sup-
port in Congress to make that happen. During 2009, many law-
makers in Congress proposed an extension of the 2009 estate tax

rules with a $3.5 million exclusion ($7 million for married couples)
and a top tax rate of 35 percent. In fact, the House passed such a
bill. The Senate, however, did not approve the House bill before the
end of 2009. Consequently, the rules put in place in 2001 have
come into effect in 2010.
What does this mean? The flux in the estate tax adds to uncer-
tainty in estate planning. However, Congress is expected remedy
the situation shortly. Congress will enact retroactive legislation in
January or early in 2010 to extend the 2009 estate tax regime with
its $3.5 million exclusion and 35 percent top tax rate for 2010. Car-
ryover basis at death is expected to be short-lived.
AMT. Another area of uncertainty is the AMT. The AMT was de-
signed to ensure that very wealthy individuals did not evade federal
taxes. However, Congress did not index the AMT for inflation. Con-
sequently, the AMT has encroached on more middle income taxpay-
ers, especially two income couples in high tax states.
In recent years, Congress has passed an AMT “patch” to help
middle income taxpayers avoid the AMT. The patch provides higher
exemption amounts and other relief. Congress enacted a patch
for 2009 but recessed for the December holidays before passing
a patch for 2010. One stumbling block is the cost of a patch and
disagreements in the House and Senate whether the cost should be
offset by revenue raisers.
Health care. House and Senate Democrats are drafting a final
health care reform bill for passage by both chambers, possibly in
January. In December, the House and Senate passed similar health
care reform bills but with important differences in revenue raisers.
The Senate passed, by a vote of 60-39, the Patient Protection and

Affordable Care Act late on Christmas Eve. The chief revenue
raiser in the House bill is a proposed surtax on higher income
individuals (individuals with incomes over $200,000 and families
with incomes over $250,000). The Senate rejected the House sur-
tax and instead approved a new excise tax on high-dollar insur-
ance plans. Other revenue raisers under negotiation include new
limits on health flexible spending arrangements and health sav-
ings accounts, a new excise tax on indoor tanning, an additional
Medicare tax for higher-income individuals, and more.
The final conference bill is expected to require employers to
provide health insurance to their employees. Employers that do
not will be subject to an additional tax with an exception for small
employers. The final bill could classify a small employer as one
with 50 or fewer full time employees or use a lower threshold;
for example, 25 full-time employees. The conference bill is also
expected to provide tax credits to help small businesses purchase
health insurance for their employees. Individuals without coverage
generally would be liable for an additional tax unless covered by
Medicare or other qualified coverage.
The conference bill will change the fundamental landscape of
health care in the U.S. The tax-related provisions in themselves
are monumental. To complicate matters, some provisions go into
force immediately and some are delayed for up to three years.
COBRA. COBRA continuation coverage provides eligible
individuals the opportunity to continue their employer-provided
health insurance coverage after a layoff or other qualified event.
However, COBRA requires individuals to 100 percent self-pay
their premiums. The cost makes COBRA out of reach for many
individuals.
In the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Con-
gress created a temporary subsidy to help eligible individuals pay
for COBRA coverage. Eligible individuals pay 35 percent of the
premium cost and the former employer pays 65 percent, which it
recovers through a payroll tax credit. Under the 2009 Recovery
Act, eligibility for COBRA premium assistance expired after De-
cember 31, 2009.

Can You Rely on Your Home as Your Retirement Nest Egg?
Submitted by Patti H. Puckett, Financial Advisor, Ameriprise
Financial, 8687 Hospital Drive, 678-391-0324
Like many homeowners, your house is probably the
biggest investment on your personal balance sheet. So
you might wonder, with all that’s changed in the eco-
nomic turmoil of the last few years—the Wall Street collapse, the
housing boom and bust, cuts to employee pensions and 401(k) ac-
counts—what your house is worth now and if you can rely on it as
a retirement nest egg in the future. Here are a few things to keep
in mind. Counting on your home to provide a source of income in
retirement is not without risk. Though home values historically have
risen over time, they sometimes fall unexpectedly, leaving you at the
mercy of the marketplace. The recent real estate crash is evidence
enough that home values are subject to fluctuation.
In general, however, once you pay off your mortgage, and assum-
ing your property is well-maintained, your home will be a valuable
asset. To get a feel for its current worth, do an honest assessment of
it relative to houses that are for-sale in the neighborhood. Take note
of resale rates and other neighborhood trends that could affect home
values. If you’re looking for a more precise figure, consider hiring a
professional to assess your home’s value.
If you do decide to use your house as a source of income when
you retire, then you have two basic choices:
You can sell your home at the current market value. With the
proceeds, you can invest and draw a monthly salary. This is probably
only a good option if you are looking to downsize from a large or
expensive home into something more modest. Even in that scenario,
however, you should keep in mind that expenses related to renting or
buying a new place to live could take a heavy bite out of the sale.
You can consider taking out a reverse mortgage (if you
qualify). A reverse mortgage is a government-run program that al-
lows homeowners to stay in their homes while accessing a portion
of the value of their property. You can choose to receive a lump
sum, monthly payments or open a line of credit based on available
equity. The cash you receive can be used as you wish (whether to pay
for daily expenses, make home improvements or whatever else). As
long as you and your spouse are living and remain in the home, the
reverse mortgage does not have to be repaid, so you are not at risk
of losing your property. There are several downsides however. First,
reverse mortgage loans are expensive, with relatively high closing
costs and interest rates. Second, your heirs will not receive the full
value of your home when you leave the property or die and they may
be required to sell the home to repay the mortgage. While you are
not required to make payments on a reverse mortgage during your
lifetime, you are still responsible for homeowner’s insurance and
property taxes. Generally speaking, if you plan to stay in your home
less than three years, the cost of a reverse mortgage may outweigh
other more affordable options, including a home equity loan.
Using your home as a source of retirement income is a last-resort
option and shouldn’t be the cornerstone of your retirement plan if you
still have time to change course and actively save for your retirement.
Enlist the help of a financial advisor to assess your personal financial
situation and take steps to aggressively save for the future. With regu-
lar contributions to a tax-advantaged retirement account, you can
make steady progress toward your financial goals, especially when
you have time on your side and can reap the benefits of compound-
ing. Whether or not you eventually need to tap your home’s value
to make ends meet, your efforts to plan and manage your finances
today will be a reward in itself and equip you with the information you
need to take control of your financial future.

somewhat dependent on tax laws, because these laws are al-
ways changing. In 2009, your estate could have passed up to
$3.5 million to your heirs before incurring federal estate taxes
at a maximum rate of 45 percent. In 2010, the estate tax was
scheduled to be repealed, but in 2011, it was supposed to re-
turn, with a maximum exemption of $1 million and a top rate
of 55 percent. But this may change, as Congress is considering
extending the 2009 exemption and tax rate figures into 2010,
2011 and possibly even further.
You might think you’ll never have enough wealth to incur
these taxes, but virtually every asset — your home, cars, life
insurance policy, IRA and 401(k) — may be included in your
taxable estate. These assets could push your estate over the
exemption amount, costing your heirs a substantial amount in
estate taxes.
To help address this potential problem, you might want to
think about some of the following estate considerations. For ex-
ample, if you owned a $1 million dollar life insurance policy,
and it was subject to an estate tax rate of 45 percent, your ben-
eficiaries would receive a death benefit of just $550,000. But
if you established an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) with a
new insurance policy, the trust would own the policy and distrib-

Reasonable Resolutions
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
The New Year is a time for making resolutions and
starting over. It’s a chance to become that healthy, happy person
you dreamed of being. Resolutions can be very hard to stick with,
that is why it is important to make reasonable goals to reach. Here
are a few tips for making reasonable resolutions:
1. Be Specific - Find a goal that you can measure your progress.
Seeing visual progress will give you the motivation to keep going.
2. Be Realistic - Find a goal that will fit into your schedule. If
you feel pressured to complete your resolution, you may end up
quitting early.
3. Be Positive - Use the term, “I will” instead of “I can’t”. Being
positive can make achieving your goal much more fun and easier
to accomplish.
4. Be Courageous - Take risks and learn from your mistakes.
5. Be Passionate - Find something that makes you stronger
which can help you achieve your resolution.
6. Be Patient and Persistent -Give yourself the time to reach
your goals. Losing 80 pounds does not happen overnight.
Getting started with your resolutions is half the battle. Accom-
plishing them is the other half. Good luck with your endeavors.

Staying Motivated through your Resolutions
By Samantha Hostettler, owner of Champion Karate
and Fitness. 2145 W. County Line Road, 770-947-5212,
www.ChampionKarateandFitness.com
Have you ever started a fitness program and then
quit? If you answer yes, you’re not alone. Many people start programs
but stop when they get bored or results come too slowly. Here’s help
staying motivated.
Set goals. Start with simple goals and then progress to longer
range goals. Remember to make your goals realistic and achievable.
It’s easy to get frustrated and give up if your goals are too ambi-
tious.
If you haven’t exercised in a while, a short-term goal might be to
walk five minutes once or twice a day. An intermediate goal might
be to work up to 20 minutes of walking three or four times a week. A
long-term goal might be to complete a 10K race.
Consider your personality. If you prefer solitude, walking, biking
or in-line skating may be good choices. If group activities are more
to your liking, try a class at a local fitness or martial arts center or join
a volleyball or softball league. Involve your kids. Walk or bike with a
group of friends.
Start slowly. If you push yourself too hard at first, you may be
forced to abandon your program because of pain or injury. It’s better
to start slowly and progress gradually.
Think variety. Vary your activities to keep boredom at bay. Al-
ternate walking or biking with swimming or a low-impact aerobics
class. When the weather cooperates, do your flexibility or stretching
exercises outside. Play soccer with your kids. Join a health club to
broaden your access to different forms of exercise.
Have fun. You’re more likely to stick with an exercise program if
you’re having fun. If you’re not enjoying your workouts, try something
different. Exercise doesn’t have to be drudgery.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. If it’s hard to find
time for exercise, schedule workouts as you would any other impor-
tant activity. You can also slip in physical activity throughout the day.
Be creative! Take a walk during your child’s music lesson. Take the
stairs instead of the elevator at work. Pedal a stationary bike while
you watch TV at night.
Put it on paper. Are you hoping to lose weight? Boost your en-
ergy? Sleep better? Manage a chronic condition? Write it down!
Seeing the benefits of regular exercise on paper may help you stay
motivated.
Seek support. You’re not in this alone. Invite a friend or co-work-
er to join you when you exercise. Work out with your spouse or your
kids. Take a class at a local fitness center.
Track your progress. It may help to keep an exercise diary. Re-
cord what you did during each exercise session, how long you ex-
ercised and how you felt afterward. Recording your efforts can help
you work toward your goals — and remind you that you’re making
progress.
Reward yourself. After each exercise session, take a few minutes
to sit down and relax. Reflect on what you’ve just accomplished. Savor
the good feelings that exercise gives you. This type of internal reward
can help you make a long-term commitment to regular exercise.

My husband hates Valentine’s Day. In fact, I have met quite a
few men who share his feelings towards a holiday they see as mar-
keted by companies to guilt men into spending money on things such
as cards, flowers, balloons, jewelry, perfume and stuffed animals.
Whether you’re male or female, married or single, this holiday can
either be one of joy, stress or disappointment, so let’s focus instead
on loving others God’s way.
The famous love chapter of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13, tells us: If
I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am
only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal… if I have a faith that
can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I
possess to the poor… but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is
not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered;
it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices
with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes and
always perseveres. Love never fails....And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
A good way to refocus your attention is to listen to a book on CD
or to read a new book. You can also sign up for a podcast or an
online devotional. There are lots of great relationship books, but

here are just a few of my favorites.
I am especially fond of John and Stasi Eldredge, so when I heard
they had a new book out “Love and War”, I rushed out and got a
copy. I have skimmed the whole book and have read the first few
chapters and will definitely keep going. The premise of this book
is great – marriage is fabulously hard! They believe that if couples
can accept this and get over any shame of their marriages being dif-
ficult, they can then go forward and learn how to fight for their love
and happiness together. Go to www.ransomedheart.com for more
information.
Gary Chapman’s “The Five Love Languages” series is great and
so is Stormie Omartian’s series “The Power of a Praying…” Both of
these authors have books and resources to help you relate to and
pray for you kids, teens, adult children, spouse, marriage and God.
You can check them out at their websites: www.garychapman.org
and www.stormieomartian.com.
So what about loving those outside our families, friends and
church? As the saying goes, it’s pretty easy to love those who are
lovely. Matthew 22:37 – 39 states: Jesus replied, “‘Love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second
is like it, Love your neighbor as yourself.”
We still have most of the year ahead of us. What are we going
to do to love those around us? Jesus came to Earth because he
loves us. He died for us and came back to life because He loves us.
Christianity is the gospel of love...or it should be. Sadly, too often,
it is not. We can all do something. We can help that neighbor who
is in need. We can mentor a child or youth who needs somebody to
care about them. We can volunteer our time. We can donate money
or resources. We can pray. Most importantly, we can love because
Christ first loved us.
1 John 3:18 states: Dear children, let us not love with words or
tongue but with actions and in truth. So maybe begin with doing a
little something for yourself this month that will benefit others. What
have you been meaning to or needing to do to impact the lives of
those closest to you. Do you need to get organized? Do you want
to spend more time with your family? Are your priorities correct? Is
your relationship with God going strong? Do something to work
on and improve these areas for yourself and for your loved ones.
That’s one way to put love into action. Then love your families well
and pray for them. Then go out and make a difference in the world
around you or maybe in the world far away.

In-Law Challenges
By Jessica Hocutt, MAMFT, LAPC. Connection Family Counseling,
3138 Golf Ridge Blvd., Ste. 101, Douglasville, GA 30135, 770-364-
6561
If you are lucky, you have great in-laws that you get along with and
love, and they love you as well. While you may have your occasional
46 | CHAPEL HILL NEWS & VIEWS Marriage & Family
differences, you are able to blend in nicely with your spouse’s family. For
many others, however; the in-laws are a challenge.
In-law disputes are a common source of marital conflict and often
lead to spouses taking sides, which produces feelings of resentment
among all involved.
So, how do you handle these conflicts appropriately? If it is your
spouse’s family, first, understand your husband or wife’s perspective on
the issue. You are talking about his or her family, which is a highly emo-
tional subject. Then, approach your spouse and ask for help in creating
ways to better handle the situation. Be respectful of your spouse’s feel-
ings towards his/her family, even if you disagree. You are not trying to
get your spouse to take your side, you are trying to find ways to resolve
or manage the conflict.
Create a game-plan with your spouse for family gatherings. For ex-
ample, if a husband’s mother often makes negative remarks about the
way the couple raises their children, the couple can devise a secret signal
that lets the husband know to either change the subject or give the wife
an excuse to leave the room. This helps the couple avoid an unnecessary
confrontation with the mother-in-law. Also, remember to avoid getting
into arguments or making negative remarks yourself towards your in-
laws. This only serves to further distance you from your spouse and their
family. Learn when to hold your tongue; ignore attempts by your in-laws
to draw you into conflict and let your spouse handle them. If your spouse
is not protecting you from attacks from your in-laws, address this at home
or with a marriage counselor, not in front of the family.
Once married, both husband and wife must learn to put their spouse
first and separate from their family of origin in many ways. If your spouse
is the one involved in conflict with your family, as difficult as it may be,
your role is to take up for your husband or wife, not your family. It is your
responsibility, not your husband or wife’s, to address conflicts with your
family, although this can best be handled together as a couple, with you
taking leadership. Be your spouse’s defender and set healthy boundar-
ies with your family of origin to protect your spouse and your new family.
If your spouse is being disrespectful and causing the conflict, however;
this needs to be handled within the couple relationship, away from your
family of origin. Sometimes though, no matter what you do as a couple,
your family may be disrespectful to your spouse. In that case, you may
have to overcome these issues by making your own family traditions and
limiting the amount of contact with your extended family.

succeeding as a single parent
“I Love Me, I Love Me Not”
By Melinda G. Perkins - Founder of Naomi’s Vine-
yard, Inc • www.naomisvineyard.cjb.net • naomisvine-
yard@yahoo.com
Whenever possible I look for common threads that
a particular month has that in some way may have a
significance or direct affect on a single parent. February opens the
door because so much emphasis is placed on being a couple and
showering each other with gifts as a token of affection and love.
However, when you are a single-parent, there’s a strong possibility
that there may not be that significant other in your life. This could
cause the feelings of loneliness to show itself and make you question
if there’s something wrong with you. In essence, you begin to focus
on the negative rather than the positive of who you are. This is why I
named the column “I love me, I love me not”.
Now, from time to time, we should all do an inventory of ourselves
to see what our strengths are versus our weaknesses. It doesn’t hurt
to even ask someone close to you for an objective point of view. But,
when you do this to the point that the negative outweighs the positive,
then there may be a deeper issue going on.
First of all, it is important to recognize that we all have value and
purpose in this world, but as scripture says in Romans 3:10, “...for
there is none righteous, no not one” (KJV). This means that no mat-
ter how hard you try, you will never be perfect enough to meet the
standards of this world; however, in God’s eyes you are wonderfully
made (Psalm 139:14, KJV). And, the sooner you realize this and love
Please tell the advertisers you saw them in CHNV - they make this magazine possible.
marriage&family
yourself for who you are as an individual, the sooner you will accept
that you have value and self-worth. This will allow God to open the
door to bring that special someone into your life and the lives of your
children.
God recognized the importance of relationships right after He cre-
ated Adam. In Genesis 2:18 God stated that it was not good for
man to be alone, so He created Eve. If God was aware 2000+
years ago, He certainly is aware of it now in 2010. Adam was enjoy-
ing life in his surroundings in the Garden of Eden, but God loved him
enough to bring into his life a help-mate. He will do the same for
you. You are no less valuable or worthy than Adam. I love the lyrics in
Stephen Curtis Chapman’s song “Fingerprints of God” because the
song reminds us that we are all covered with the fingerprints of God.
If you haven’t heard of the song, look it up.
The bottom line here is that you should never question whether
or not you will ever find that person who will love you. Yes you will
- in God’s timing. As I suggested earlier, do a brief self-assessment
of your strengths and weaknesses. If there is an area you feel may
need to be worked on, talk to someone who knows you and can be
objective to see if they agree. If so, lift it up in prayer, begin working
on that area and be committed to seeing it through. REMEMBER: we
are all a work in progress and while we are waiting, God is usually
tweaking.
Make it a great day!

Behavior Management Reminders From Har-

Just before the new year we welcomed a furry little
bundle of joy into
our home—a 7 week old Shih
Tzu we have come to know as
“Harley.” Harley has done a
great job providing remind-
ers of some key concepts in
behavior management. There
are many commonalities be-

and children come into the world with no real understanding of what
behavior is expected or what behaviors will help them meet their needs
(other than a baby’s instinctual cry). In addition, both puppies and
children (adults, too) develop behaviors based on the same learning
principles. In order to be successful in raising a well behaved puppy or
child, good behavior management strategies are need.

Now Introducing Kids Single Spa ($25 per person) portunities to reward good behavior (e.g., walking to the door to be let
out), cannot intervene to stop inappropriate behaviors, and fail to build
success by preventing unwanted behaviors (e.g., reading his signals
and taking him outside before he has an ‘accident’). In addition, it is
critical to set appropriate boundaries with a puppy, as giving them full
run of the house is likely to lead to problems, as they are not ready for
that much freedom, until they have exhibited responsibility in a smaller
setting. Just as with puppies, many children (and adolescents) develop
and maintain behavior problems due to a lack of supervision and lim-
ited boundaries.
Harley has also made clear the importance of consistency. I cannot
reason with him—he does not understand my words. He learns only
by what he experiences. So if I ‘give in’ to his whining, I cannot explain
that this is a “one time exception” and then give him the “reason” for
the inconsistency. If I sometimes give into the whining, he will learn to
whine louder and longer. However, if I am consistent in my response (in
this case ignoring the whining), he will quickly learn that whining does
not result in anything positive.
And the most important thing Harley has reminded me of is the im-
portance of positive behavior management strategies. By simply giving
him my attention, a quick rub on the head, and a “good boy” when
he exhibits the behavior I want, he quickly begins to exhibit more and
more of that behavior. If a puppy responds so well to positive interac-
tion from us, how much more so will a young child! Children want and
need lots of positive attention and encouragement…and this attention
and encouragement helps them to learn what behaviors adults want
and expect from them. By providing appropriate supervision, setting
appropriate boundaries, being consistent, and providing lots of positive
attention, parents of children and “fur babies” can help them grow to
be secure, well mannered, successful and loving family members.

The number of students tested on the ACT were: Douglas County
Schools = 515, Carroll County Schools = 202, and Paulding Coun-

What are our schools doing to impact this data and improve
student achievement on the SAT and ACT?
In November, the Douglas County School System (DCSS) began a
partnership with the Georgia State Department of Education to close
the achievement gap for our students. This project includes training
our teachers on the most effective ways to use student PSAT data. It
also includes training our teachers to use writing strategies during
their lessons and using internet test preparation during the school
day.
The Bridges grant has enabled our schools to create SAT prepara-
tion sessions on weekends at no cost to the student. These sessions
run on 4 consecutive Saturdays with each session lasting 3 hours.
During these sessions, students are prepared by SAT specialists that
focus on the content and test taking strategies. Two of the sessions
are taught by a math specialist and two are taught by a verbal and
writing specialist.
Although full semester SAT preparation courses are difficult to in-
clude during the school day, schools utilize USA Test Prep during

Clearly Speaking
Vocal Hygiene During Cold and Flu Season
By Tammy L. Velliquette, M.Ed., CCC-SLP/L, owner of
Clearly Speaking, Inc., 404-934-0605. areyouclearly-
speaking.com
During cold and flu season, you are also prone to
voice problems. Your vocal cords are like a rubber-
band, they are smooth and vibrate as air passes by them. When you
have a cold or congestion, you are prone to coughing. When you
cough you bang your vocal cords together. This chronic abuse can
cause nodules (little blisters) to form on your vocal cords. So once
your cold clears you still feel like there is something in your throat
that needs to be cleared. This feeling then causes you to cough and
clear your throat which keeps the blisters there. In order to stop the
cycle and help your vocal cords heal there are some things you can
do.
1. Hydrate-keep your vocal cords wet and moist. This can be
done by sipping water or other liquids. You can also suck on a piece
of hard candy or chew gum.
2. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoky environments all which
can be drying. You should note that decongestants are also drying
and can add to the problem.
3. If you continue to have a tickle in your throat that makes you
want to cough/clear your throat, swallow hard or take a sip of a
liquid. Only cough or clear your throat when there is phlegm or
something else that needs to be cleared.
4. Don’t strain your voice. This means, no yelling, talking in loud
environments, singing with the radio, talking while exercising and
other activities that cause you to strain your voice.
If the symptoms continue you may need to be seen by an ENT so
he/she can view your vocal cords and determine if you have nod-
ules. If you have developed vocal nodules he/she can advise you
regarding the appropriate treatment.
Treatment can include resting your voice, speech therapy to learn
better vocal habits, and surgery to remove the nodules if they have
become hardened.

Wayne saw the importance of the individual points and lived by
them to the best of his ability. As he worked with young children
he was a shining example of great character who showed courtesy
to others. “Allow each person his human dignity which means a lot
more than saying, “yes ma’am” and “thank you sir,” Wayne stated.” It
reflects an attitude that later in life you wish you had honored more...
earlier in life,” Wayne said at a dinner gathering for the John Wayne
Outpost Camp. Parents, educators, volunteers and coaches should
be following John Wayne’s example by teaching courtesy in class-
rooms, meetings and ball fields. Francis Bacon, Sr. once stated, “If a
man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen
of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands,
but a continent that joins to them.” In today’s society it is hard to find
courtesy but should be strived for.

Character Corner
Courtesy to Others
By Ann Jones Guider, Douglas County Character Coalition
For years Boy Scouts all across the world have vowed to follow
the Scout Law, “A Scout is Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, COURTEOUS,
kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.” Great
American, John Wayne once said “the twelve points of the Scout Law
are “nice words. Trouble is we learn them so young we sometimes
don’t get all the understanding that goes with them. As each boy
reaches Scout age, I make sure he learns the Scout Law. Then I break
it down for him, with a few things I have picked up in more than half
a century since I learned it.” Courtesy is the fourth point in the Scout
Law which means showing good manners while being polite. It’s not
only important to Scouts but it’s important to be apply each and every
day by society.
