ometime mid-March a page turned, and our city ended up inside a lingering global story. Earlier that month, I joined Mary Hunt Murray at Forest Hills Golf Club for the magazine shoot. It seems now like a memory from a distant land. Lots of things have changed. We have spent the last 10 weeks settling into makeshift indoor cubicles, homespun masks and comfort snacking. The celebration of spring has never felt so forlorn. Augusta could not have predicted the current circumstances. In times like these, we understand how we are truly afforded only the present moment. It is with this idea in mind, that Augusta Family magazine broke with tradition to support our community in a special way. In this issue, we are publishing for the first time a commemorative graduation section representing more than 30 local public and private high schools with graduate listings and personalized ads. It is our way of walking with families across the finish line of this uniquely different academic season. You will still see familiar writers like Paige Tucker, whose daughter’s teeth are unaware of any virus and continue to fall out as intended. Cammie Jones’ Smart Mom’s Guide celebrates summer with fun ideas on camping for social distance vacationing. Fifth-grade student Lauren Moskal, from Evans Elementary, shares her poetic thoughts in Growing Up. A fortunate coincidence in early March has allowed us to showcase two local seniors in this special edition: Mary Hunt Murray who accepted a full scholarship in golf to Augusta University

and Tyson Riley II, a phenomenal runner headed for a bright future from Lakeside High School. Nobody can say for certain what tomorrow holds, but we can choose to grab hold of today. We can take inventory of many new moments— then decide to live fully in them, albeit inside tight quarters, as we wait to be together again. Carpe Diem!

After twelve years in local news, most recently as evening anchor of NBC 26, Paige Tucker is now a work-at-home mom and freelance journalist. She produces two series for NBC 26 TV, First Responders and 26 Women Today, and you can see those stories on Tuesday nights. Paige and her husband have one daughter, Julia Reynolds, who is five years old.

hree cheers from Julia Reynolds, three tears from Mommy! My 5-year-old hit another milestone, and I’ll admit this one stung a little. Turns out I’m not alone. My mom and several sympathetic friends validated my heartbreak. Julia Reynolds joined the Snaggle Tooth Club! I went to have lunch with her at school on a day I’d packed an apple in her lunchbox. She loves apples, but it slipped my mind she hadn’t been able to eat them in recent weeks because of a loose tooth. Or loose teeth, depending on the day! She was desperate to lose a tooth like many of her friends. I guess it’s a kindergarten rite of passage. She bit into the apple that day and OW! She proceeded to experience all the emotions (read: drama) that a supremely loose tooth apparently conjures up: elation, fear, joy and more fear. Then, for the next TEN days, we were on tooth watch!! I did not envy her poor teacher! As most of you know, when children get something on their mind, it is often the only thing on their mind. This loose tooth was truly all Julia Reynolds could think about. I watched her at a tennis lesson and there was no chance to hit a ball because she never stopped wiggling her tooth. Several classmates took a turn trying to pull the tooth (ouch!!) and a few grown-ups offered their services. But Julia Reynolds finally decided to listen to the school nurse who, when comforting her, told her if she waited patiently, the tooth would just fall out when it was ready. No “pulling” needed! That’s exactly what happened. We were packing up to leave for a trip and I said, “Let me see your tooth one more time...” Just hanging by a thread at that point, I’m surprised she hadn’t swallow it. With nary a wiggle, the tooth landed in my hand. Julia Reynolds began jumping for joy, running around screaming and celebrating! We stowed the tooth all the way to Colorado to place it under her pillow that night. Traveling with the tooth made the anticipation of the Tooth Fairy’s visit even more exciting and, yes, dramatic! I only cried a couple of times and told her under no circumstances was she allowed to lose any more teeth. We worked so hard for those teeth!!! I vividly remember the time she was 14-months-old and cut FIVE teeth in one week— whew, that was a doozy!! Alas, she already has another loose tooth! As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever... not even my sweet girl’s baby smile.

Local Eats
THE PIZZA JOINT, EVANS I imagine Augusta’s roads buzzing with cars throughout the summer months and inside those whirring vehicles are, most likely, hungry kids. The Pizza Joint in Evans is conveniently located on Washington Road so drivers can fill empty stomachs with a variety of pizzas in a family-friendly spot. Since 1996, the restaurant boasts fresh ingredients and dough made from scratch daily. They also mix their marinara and pizza sauce on site. They make their food fresh to order— a motto the company built their business on— and their pizzas are cooked on a traditional brick oven. Customers can build individual pies from the base up, including toppings from three different categories: cheeses, vegetables and proteins. Specialty pies have a wide range of postmodern pizza ingredients like pineapple, jerk chicken, blue cheese, pesto, roasted red potatoes, tomatoes and pickles. The pie names (Tree Hugger, Mediterranean, Jimmy Pesto, Baked Potato Pie, Hippie Heaven, etc.) lend to the fun, eclectic and relaxed atmosphere found inside the restaurant. As crusts have become a certain paradigm of American pizza regions, the Pizza Joint works hard to make sure customers from around the States feel welcome with offerings like Sicilian, Grandma, Detroit and New York pizza crust bases.
Check the website for times, menus, locations and prices, www.thepizzajoint. net/. Or call for more info: 706-447-4992.
“If you can’t make everyone happy… go get pizza!”

GROWING GIRLS in
GOLF BY DUSTIN TURNE R PHOTOS BY CHRIS THE LE N

rowing up, Mary Hunt Murray was pressed to find girls who played golf, a factor that motivated her to succeed in the sport she now loves, including playing college golf
and hopefully going pro. “There weren’t many girl golfers growing up, and I’m still the only girl at my club,” Murray said. “I was shy and just didn’t want to talk to the guys. I would have gotten into golf earlier if there had been other girls who played.”
16 � AUGUSTA FAMILY | MAY/JUNE 2020
AUGUSTA FAMILY | MAY/JUNE 2020 � 17
Now a senior at Augusta Prep, Murray started playing golf in middle school, but didn’t really enjoy it and push herself to succeed until high school. “In high school, I realized I wanted to play in college. Deciding in high school is pretty late because a lot of people would get early signed even in eighth grade. I started playing well in the past year, and that’s when AU reached out to me,” said Murray, who recently signed to play golf for Augusta University starting as a freshman next fall at the university. Murray has always been an athlete, playing everything from tennis and track to powderpuff football. The main reason she started playing golf, though, was because her father paid her to take some lessons. “My dad’s a big golfer. When I was in fifth grade, he paid for me to take lessons with my best friend. I hated it so much at the time because I was really into a lot of other sports and I just didn’t have the patience for it,” Murray said, laughing. Traveling to tournaments, meeting people and seeing her game improve made golf more fun and turned the sport into a major life passion and goal. Currently, she plays for the Augusta Prep golf team and works with West Lake’s golf clinic to help teach girls once a month. “It’s important to me that more girls play golf, and I hope to help these girls make the kinds of friends I have in the sport,” Murray said. “I’ve made great, lifelong friends through golfing.” In addition to making friends and enjoying travel, the game has taught Murray some valuable life lessons. “If you travel a lot like I do, you learn to be independent. I schedule a lot of my own tournaments as well as the details involving the tournaments,” she said. “You learn such good manners. Golf is a game of etiquette and patience.” Murray was already enjoying the game when she started playing in high school, even though it was a bumpy start. “During my freshman year, the team was almost all seniors and some of them already had colleges commitments. I was not good. I hardly ever played in tournaments,” said Murray. A bus crash during her sophomore year, however, really solidified her decision to commit to the sport. The crash near Macon, Ga., ended the season and critically injured her then coach, Chuck Mason. “I had a lot of soft tissue damage in my hips and back, and it was a challenge to get back all the mobility I needed to return to the game,” Murray said. “Our golf coach wasn’t OK, though, and that made me want to fight to play even more. I’ve never seen a coach love golf so much.
18 � AUGUSTA FAMILY | MAY/JUNE 2020
That’s what got me really committed. Being in a wreck where we could have lost our lives made me appreciate everything and realize what’s important.” Murray is on track to finish her high school academic career as class valedictorian. Keeping up with grades and golf requires a lot of practice. It’s a good thing Murray has always been hard-working and driven. “I wake up at 4:30 or 5 am each morning, do schoolwork, go to school, then golf until dark,” Murray said. “I try to take one day off each week. I’m out there on the course at least an hour a day and eight to nine hours per day on weekends.” With college right around the corner, Murray thinks she has a good plan in place. She is considering a major in molecular biology with an eye toward going to medical school— if she doesn’t go pro, that is. She says her long game is at a professional level, but she still needs to improve. “If I get to the professional level, I’d love to take that opportunity. I’m hoping AU can mold me toward that goal since they have been able to produce a lot of pros. And there just aren’t that many American women in the LPGA. I’d love to show that it can be done,” Murray said. Being an avid golfer in Augusta is very special to Murray, and Masters Week is her favorite time of the year. She worked at the tournament last year and met many of her favorite golfers. Yet, Murray understands the recent decision to postpone the tournament and thinks it was a responsible choice. “People from all over the world come here, and someone is bound to have Coronavirus, so it could be a problem for the golfers, fans and residents of Augusta,” she said. “Everybody wants to go to the Masters, and it just wouldn’t be fun to do it with limited patrons, like they originally said. I’m glad they are postponing it.” The obvious question for an avid golfer: Who is your favorite golfer? Murray hesitates. “Well, I just want to be like different parts of a lot of different players. I want to win and for people to know my name. I hope that will help more young girls go into golf.” Dustin Turner is the Communications and Content Manager for Alison South Marketing Group. He lives in Aiken with his amazing, beautiful and very patient wife of 22 years, Jamie, and their artistic, sassy and fierce daughter, Abigail, 12. Dustin enjoys writing, shooting and editing video and acting and directing in community theatre.

Hi ki ng t He C lo s ed Can yon on our Big Ben d road t rip
Well, it IS the Great Outdoors!
M
y family just returned from a road trip where we visited our eighth National Park. As I survey the pictures and think about the joy that these three days brought us, I recognize that the ability to travel and explore different regions in the United States is an opportunity not everyone has. Over the past year I’ve thought a lot about how any parent can create experiences to help develop a love of the outdoors in their child. My reading list and books for our family in this past year focus on getting the most of time spent outdoors— whether it’s jumping through backyard puddles or hiking at a park. So, as we move into spring, I want to share what I’ve learned from those resources and encourage you and your family to get outside.
54 • AugustA FAmily | mAy/JuNE 2020
Acknowledge your feArs Do you have personal outdoor hang-ups? Maybe you encourage your children to go outside and play, but for some reason, you are unable to set an example. Personal insecurities can discourage our children. Our family went tent camping for the first time this summer. I grew up in a family that camped, but my husband grew up going on RV road trips. He complained about every little rock in his back so much that we called him Princess and the Pea! It was not for him. But, we both understand that camping is a wonderful way for children to develop skill sets. We created a plan. I chaperoned for deep nature trips like the Girl Scouts with our daughter. But, the next time we went as a family we found a “glamping site” where our tent structure
had beds. We still enjoyed the night sky and used a lot of camping skills. Although I am terrified of snakes, I was blessed with a child that is fascinated by them. I don’t want to keep him from exploring his interests because of my fear. So, we read snake books together and talk about snake safety in the outdoors. When hiking with grandparents in the Gila National Forest, he asked Mimi for a snake guide from the visitor’s center. We saw a snake, and he talked to the Park Ranger about what it was, assuring me— who was very far away— that it was not venomous. As adults, it’s not too late to learn a new skill or develop an interest. Maybe you never learned to swim and your children are begging you to get in the water with them. Consider lessons! Maybe you never tried camping or hiking, but your child wants to explore the woods. Find ways to explore together— there are many trails for beginners at state and national parks, including some ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible routes. Allow UnstrUctUred PlAy oUtdoors Many children experience the outdoors through sports or family vacations, but they may not have time to sit in nature to create, explore or even be bored on their own. Structuring too much of children’s play is a well-documented problem. This year I read There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom’s Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids (from Friluftsliv to Hygge) by Linda Åkeson McGurk, which is full of information on the benefits of getting your family outdoors. We give our children firm boundaries for safety, but within those boundaries we have worked on being more patient with messes, risk-taking and silliness. I moved an old play kitchen to our backyard with simple toy dishes bought at Ikea and now my kids bake mud pies and conduct science experiments in the yard. We allow them to take part in deciding which trails to do at parks, and on our most recent trip, my husband and I had to remind each other that it was easy to let them take off their shoes and socks in the car, or even change clothes, when they found a very muddy spot to play along the river. Add nAtUre GUides to yoUr Home librAry Recently, I started purchasing junior flora and fauna guides to have more awareness of the natural elements in the wild. Looking at different plants and animals and recording what we see at parks, backyards or zoos has become a great family
connection. I have younger children who are not writing yet, so we found a Beginning Birdwatcher’s Book that has 48 common birds that children get to place a sticker on when they find it. For plants, we purchased the Arbor Day Foundation’s What Tree is That? National Geographic has an excellent line of books with “Ultimate” in each title that focuses on a type of animal. If you plan a trip to National Parks, consider purchasing a passport book that allows you to stamp each park you visit. Children are learning not only about nature, but how to use reference books to develop their observational skills. wAtcH A docUmentAry on FAmily movie niGHt Okay, here’s where you get to enjoy nature from the comfort of your couch with a bowl of popcorn. A while back while researching an article, I read about the “David Attenborough Affect” which recognizes that millennials who grew up watching his nature documentaries in school or at home are now more environmentally conscious. If you enjoy a good family movie on the weekend, look for one of the many great ones available on Netflix, Disney+ or at your local library. Let different family members chose documentaries about their favorite animal or travel destination. While my son always picks reptile or ocean documentaries, my daughter loves Bear Gryll’s show on Netflix, You vs. Wild which is a “choose your adventure” interactive show about survival skills. tAke AdvAntAGe oF locAl resoUrces Georgia offers excellent opportunities to explore its greenspaces and hiking trails. We love Reed Creek Nature Park and Interpretive Center in Martinez which has a walking path, but also offers classes and events. Savannah Rapids has easy hiking paths and opportunities for biking or kayaking for the more adventurous. North Augusta Greeneway Park and the Augusta River Walk provide walking trails perfect for a spring Sunday afternoon. Play Pokemon Go, print out a nature scavenger hunt, or take selfies by the river— whatever makes the walk appealing to your family. It is the great outdoors!

Here Comes Summer!
S
ummer is almost here along with plans to help fill up those lazy, summer months. Looking for something to do while still managing the effects of COVID-19? Why not try camping? Since I have never been a camper myself, I would not know where to begin in planning something like this, but when I delved into the wonderful Internet and asked some camper friends, I found a plethora of information which got me to thinking— why not plan a little something different this summer? Rough it (but not too much) There is no need to be Davy Crockett on a first-time camping experience. Choose a site that is easily accessible to your camping space. Hiking in and out may sound like an authentic plan at the time, but save that energy to set up the tent, start the campfire or gather supplies. Although mighty active when you don’t want them to be, making your kids “hike” to the campsite could throw the vacation into a negative spin. Keeping things simple and easy is the way to go for the first-timers! Another good tip is to practice camping at home. Set up a tent in your backyard for the night and see how the kids do. Or, test out a local campground for the day to get familiar with the idea. This may give you a small glimpse of what to expect on your first overnight camping experience. Plan ahead Many campsites book quickly. In the Augusta area, several sites near Lake Thurmond, Mistletoe State Park, Diamond Lakes Park offer reservations online. Choose a few dates that work and check availability. Know what you want ahead of time in terms of location and amenities. Many of our local campsites are open March to October, but it is always best to refer to the site for details. The cost of renting a campsite starts around $20 and goes up from there depending on the season and length of stay. Study the site map for the best camping locations near water and next to bathrooms and showers. equiPment First-time campers don’t need the latest tent, sleeping bags and other expensive camping equipment. Try to borrow bigger items from friends or family. You can also rent camping equipment from online rental companies. I found outdoorgeek.com is a good place to start. They ship anywhere in the U.S. and there is the option to purchase the equipment after using it. Katie Blackstone, mom of Bridger, 10, and Bowie, 8, says her boys enjoy each having a flashlight when they go camping. Both useful and fun, a flashlight would be an easy purchase and incite a little excitement in the kids.
Pack SmaRt Overpacking is not recommended. But, make sure you have clothing for all types of weather. Check the local forecast or follow a weather app. Don’t hesitate to throw in an extra rain jacket or poncho, more towels and a blanket based on the radar’s view of upcoming weather. Having a chair for each family member is also important, and don’t forget the bug spray and sunscreen! deviceS Going old school is a great way to ditch those electronics. You may not want to leave them at home, but why not keep them locked in the car for most of your vacation? Hopefully, service will not be topnotch where you are so there will be less arguing. Take this time to talk, relax and hang out together as a family without the everyday distractions of the television, computer or phone. Listen to music, tell stories around the campfire, swim, explore, read a book, play cards and enjoy the natural surroundings. An Augusta mom said her daughter and son loved to camp because they knew that their parents were giving them 100 percent of their attention since the normal distractions of home were not competing. mealS Stick to easy meals— hamburgers and hotdogs, cold cut sandwiches or meals prepared ahead of time are a great way for stress-free camp cooking. Have healthy options such as fruit and cheese for a quick snack or as a side to any meal. A cooler for anything that needs to stay cold is a must. Bring plenty of water and beverages. Routine If your kids are young, try to stick to similar routines of nap time, bedtimes and, hopefully, wake up times that will ensure a good night’s sleep for all. Keep in mind, though, to be flexible. A new environment is always a little disruptive so allow your kids time to adapt. From all the running around the campsite and physical activity they will be enjoying, a good nap and night of sleep may be welcomed. activitieS Competitions between family members for the duration of your stay is always fun. Mom won Go Fish = one point. Junior completed the nature treasure hunt = one point. Have a prize at the end of your trip for the winner or let them rest during clean-up duty. If you are going with another family, divide into teams and compete. Fishing, swimming, hiking, kicking the soccer ball, kickball, playing catch, etc., are all great ways to spend your time. But allow for plenty of downtime, too. I don’t think we do enough of that on those lazy summer days! Cammie Jones is an Augusta freelance writer and mother of three.

andy Helling has worked part-time for the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia for almost two years, but her involvement with the nonprofit organization goes back much farther than that. In fact, Helling, Fund Development Specialist for the Augusta area, served in various capacities, including volunteer and troop leader for 15 years before accepting her current job. Her husband’s Army career moved the family around a few times, with stops in Texas and Hawaii. For Helling, Girl Scouts is a family tradition. “Wherever the military sent us, we could find Girl Scouts,” Helling said. Her two daughters grew up participating in Girl Scouts and both earned the Gold Award, the highest achievement in the organization. To earn this award, girls are required to complete a community service project. Helling’s younger daughter, Rebecca, earned the award by planning a prom for special needs students in Columbia County, which the staff at Grovetown High School has continued. Rebecca is now a junior at Cornell University. Helling’s older daughter, Rachel, earned her Gold Award by “creating a love of literacy program at Jenkins-White Elementary School in Richmond County.” To get students excited about reading, Rachel invited soldiers from Fort Gordon to read to students. Rachel is currently a teacher and troop leader in Tennessee. As Fund Development Specialist, Helling is primarily responsible for media relations, public relations and alumni relations. She strives to promote the organization’s mission, which is, “Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.” Helling helps to advance this mission by planning events that showcase what Girl Scouts can do, such as the S’morevivor 5K
Trail Run and Team Challenge. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, August 22, at Camp Tanglewood off Columbia Road in Martinez. The event is open to the public and will feature a 3.1mile run and a four-person team challenge in a series of activities, including canoeing, archery and an obstacle course. There will also be food trucks and a silent auction. The 5K will begin at 7:30am. Helling is proud to be part of a group that exists just for girls and promotes leadership, responsibility and exercise. Hellings earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware and a master’s degree from American University, both in Communications. What she enjoys most about living in Augusta is “the weather and the wide variety of things to do.” She actively participates in community organizations, including being part of the Leadership Augusta Class of 2020 and serving on the Events Advisory Board for the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce. When she is not working or volunteering, Helling enjoys traveling with her husband, Dr. Eric Helling, a plastic surgeon at the VA. They have traveled to many foreign countries, including Germany, England, Wales, and Japan, on space-available military flights.

When did your interest in running track and field start? I was in the 3rd grade when I first started running and I haven’t look back.
Who has been your greatest mentor in the sport of track and field? My mother, Andrea Riley. My mother pushed and guided me in the sport I love. She also picked up several Track & Field certifications along the way. She is the assistant Track & Field coach at Evans High School and has obtained a Level 3 in USATF and Level 5 in IAAF.
What has been your biggest track and field accomplishment to date, and what is your dream race or goal? My biggest accomplishment in Track & Field is running my personal best in the 100M (@ 10.86) and in the 200M (@ 21.99). By running these times, I’ve been able to speak with several colleges and universities during the recruiting period. My dream race was to run in the AAU/USATF Junior Olympics. As credited to my hard work, I have run in the AAU Junior Olympics 4 consecutive years and in the USATF Junior Olympics once. My long-term goal is to run professionally as a sprinter.

Riley has three siblings: Geneva Carolyn (15), Olivia Gabrielle (13) and Noah Lambert (11).

help them? Any advice you might share? Self-confidence is an important value that I have learned through my involvement in high school sports. For example, being relaxed just before a meet is key to a great race. When I am relaxed, I am confident that my performance will be successful.
Do you have any pre-meet rituals or foods you like to eat? My pre-meet rituals are listening to music, eating goldfish, baked barbeque chips and pineapples.
