Notes from Jackson Street

The Weekly Staff John A. Winters, Publisher, Editor john@wintersmedia.net Corby Carlin Winters, Marketing/Public Relations corby@wintersmedia.net

“I Gotta Go” seems to be what I hear a lot of lately.

“I Gotta Go” can be painful words to hear. Sometimes they can be cute, like the time I said, “I gotta go” take a spin on a four-wheeler!

“I Gotta Go” can mean different things depending on the circumstances. And it definitely means different things at different ages of one’s life.

For Winters and me the progression of the phrase “I Gotta Go” has been a little bit like this ...

At two years of age, when the SONS would say “I gotta go,” that meant “I gotta pee and I gotta pee now.”

Needless to say, Winters and I were quick to respond to that “I gotta go..”

When they were 10, the SONS would likely roll their eyes and say with a perturbed tone, “I gotta go” as they jumped out of the car. Clearly, I was holding them up, holding them back or holding up traffic. Then they would quickly dash off and I would just shake my head in disbelief.

In their teen years, the SONS said things like “Mom, I gotta go! I gotta go because I am playing my video game and I will die because I can’t pause. I have gotta go get back to the virtual world and fast.”

Now, one has “gotta go” command his tank platoon in the U.S. Army; the middle has “gotta go” to work; the third has “gotta go” see his girlfriend.

It is painful realizing your sweet little boys are becoming men and your heart tightens when they say, “Mom, I gotta go, (fill in the blank)”

The fact is sometimes we “gotta go” because we simply have to. Sometimes we want to. Sometimes we must.

Sometimes we need to.

The reality is that daughters become women, sons turn into men, parents age and pass away. Sometimes friends are there for us and sometimes they are not. Sometimes spouses say “I am done … I gotta go.”

Sometimes we are blessed with the easy decisions of life, like I gotta go to the grocery store, I gotta go get one eye contact not two. I gotta go for a walk, I gotta clean my house, I gotta go kiss my SONS good night and Winters too.

Life is so short my dear friends, and sadly we often waste precious energy and time on insignificant and unimportant things. But as long as we have breath to breathe we have the opportunity to make sure we make the most out of the moments we have with the ones we love.

We can focus on the significant things of life, because before we know it, in the blink of an eye, those we love will say “I gotta go.”

Zucchini Pie

with Angela

On Pyrex, Pies, and Produce Can we just talk about the wonders of Pyrex for a minute? I never paid attention to my family’s cookware when I was growing up, but when I got out of school and got an apartment, my roommate was a fan of the fashionable new brown Pyrex wares.

Later, when I got a place of my own, I began to buy all the basic cookware in clear Pyrex: bowls, measuring cups, and various sizes of baking pans.

But 10 years or so ago, I was antiquing near Orange Beach one day when I saw one of the prettiest pieces of Pyrex I’d ever laid eyes on—a basket-weave-patterned bowl in a glorious teal color I’ve since learned is called “Peacock.” The color was introduced in 2002, so it’s not vintage, it’s just not readily available anymore. That $6 find quickly became a favorite, and I began stalking eBay for its mates. I found another mixing bowl and a square baking pan (the official “brownie pan” at my house), but for years, I had longed for a pie plate. Several times, I came close to buying one on eBay, but I always got outbid, as I am way too thrifty to pay “collector” prices for things I do not absolutely have to have.

A few months ago, however, I checked my email and got an eBay alert that a Peacock Pyrex pie plate had just been listed. It was in my price range, so I immediately clicked the “Buy It Now” button, but someone else was stalking it as well and beat me to it. Bummer. The dust settled on that auction, then one day, multiple Peacock pie plates appeared. The prices were right, and one was soon headed to my house.

When my sister gave me some zucchini from her garden recently, I started digging through my boxes of vintage handwritten recipes to see if anyone had perchance included a recipe for zucchini bread. While I didn’t find that recipe, I did find an intriguing handwritten recipe titled Zucchini Pie. I was eager to bake the recipe in my new(ish) pie plate, and I discovered a new way to enjoy zucchini. The texture reminds me of those Bisquick chicken pot pies I’ve had before, and it was perfect for the light summer suppers I enjoy.

Add a dollop of sour cream on top and a slice of tomato and call dinner done.n

o 3 cups zucchini, unpeeled,

diced in 1/2-inch cubes o 1 small onion, chopped o 1 cup Bisquick baking mix o 4 large eggs, lightly beaten o 1/2 cup oil (I used canola oil) o 1 teaspoon parsley o 1 teaspoon salt

o 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour all ingredients into a medium-size bowl and combine well.

Pour mixture into a 9-inch pie plate prepared with cooking spray and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to set for a few minutes before serving.

Front Porch Stories Saving Memories

Pensacola, Florida, was our favorite place when our kids were growing up. One trip in particular started out just like all the others; we arrived, unpacked our bags and put on our swimsuits. Destination: beach.

• Open year-round the complex hosts events on a daily basis, from weddings and receptions to family reunions, birthday parties & corporate events.

I commented as we drove toward the beach that we should stop for some meat tenderizer. It was a staple in my beach bag, as it would aid in removing the searing burn from a jellyfish sting, but I’d forgotten to pack it. I had a coupon and placed it on the console of the minivan. But something distracted us and we didn’t stop for the ever-necessary spice.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Sept. 15-25 – Kiwanis Coweta County Fair Dec. 3-4 – NCAA Christmas Market

We set up on a little spot of beach right near the water. It was idyllic as always, and just the thing these two working parents and two antsy kids needed.

I left the husband and kids in the water so I could dry off a bit. It was hot and I was too wet to put on my bathing suit cover. In a matter of moments, my son started screaming. That ocean is a monster soup. I had no idea what had happened, but my husband and the kids were rushing toward dry land.

For information on booking any part of the facility call 770-254-2685 or go to coweta.ga.us & click on Fairgrounds.

Coweta County Fairgrounds & Conference Center

275 Pine Road • Newnan, GA 30263 770-254-2685

The Boy had a terrible jellyfish sting. I grabbed the keys to the minivan and shouted over my shoulder that I’d be back in a few minutes with the meat tenderizer.

The only things I grabbed besides the keys were my flip flops.

Soaking wet, I raced to the van and rushed to the nearest grocery store.

As I put the vehicle in park, I glanced down and saw the coupon. I grabbed it, dug under the seat for my wallet and ran into the grocery store.

Join us

Saturday, August 13th

I wasn’t familiar with the layout, so I asked the first cashier I saw if she could tell me where the meat tenderizer was. It was then and only then that I realized, as the cashier and everyone in her line turned in my direction, that I was the only person in the store wearing a soaking wet bathing suit, flip flops, and nothing else.

She pointed in the direction of the spice aisle and I hurried to find that little bottle of miracle cure. A woman more familiar with the store rushed ahead of me and grabbed a bottle from the shelf. I thanked her and ran to the register.

By now, most heads were turned my way. It isn’t because I was so cute in that bathing suit because I was still wearing whatever I ate in the 1980s. It was the compassion of those in the long line who wanted to be sure to let me check out ahead of them, because clearly, I had a jellyfish emergency.

Everyone ushered me ahead and the cashier rang up my single item.

“Wait!” I said, opening my hand and thrusting my coupon at her. “I have a coupon!”

Remember those E.F. Hutton commercials, the ones where they say when E.F. Hutton speaks, everyone listens? Yeah. It was just like that.

You could have heard a pin drop. I looked at the cashier’s face, the line behind me, the looks of disbelief and wrath. I could just hear them wondering why would I have a coupon if it was a real emergency.

I’m sure they thought I wore that swimsuit just to hurry and get back to some barbecue nearby.

The Boy was fine and I also saved thirty-five cents. It was a memorable beach day.

Real Estate Es tate

with Jess Barron

Shift Happens

The real estate market is changing. We are seeing a significant shift in the market as the number of active listings increase and buyer demand slows down. Keep in mind, this is a gradual change and not a sudden and dramatic change. I have seen the number of active listings in Coweta County go from around 140-150 when I check every morning to around 250-300 recently. We have also noticed that the number of buyers in the marketplace has decreased. Prices are staying strong, but the showing traffic and the volume of offers are not what they once were. As recently as this year I would receive 20 + offers on a property but those days seem to be gone.

A significant reason for this sudden change is the increase in rates. In late June, mortgage rates rose above six percent. The Federal Reserve announced a large ¾ percent raise of interest rates in June. The Federal Reserve has also stated that they expect to raise the rates several times this year and next to combat rising inflation in our country. All this seems to have cooled real estate buyer activity. As mortgage rates rise, a mortgage payment becomes higher and higher. An article I read recently from Lawrence Yun, from the National Association of Realtors, stated that the payment on a $300,000 mortgage went from $1,265 in December of 2021 to over $1,800 in June of 2022 because of the mortgage rate increase. This is pricing many buyers out of the market.

Another reason buyers are leaving the market is how competitive the market is. I wrote about this in a recent article as we are seeing home buying fatigue. Some buyers are tired of losing multiple offer situations over and over. We are seeing large institutional cash investors frequently out bid occupant buyers obtaining a mortgage. Many buyers are simply waiting for the market to cool down.

In fact, this “cool down” could be a good thing for the real estate market and economy in the long run.

Jerome Powell, the chairman for the Federal Reserve, has stated that the housing market needs a “reset,” particularly for young homebuyers. Prices have kept increasing despite an increase in listings and a decrease in buyer traffic. It is still a seller’s market in Coweta County, just not as strong as it once was. While the market is shifting, I do not think prices will cool down as quickly as many buyers hope they will.

Food pantries help Coweta families with food, finances and more

The rising costs of food, gas and other household items are making it difficult for some families to put food on the table and make ends meet.

To help eliminate food insecurity and meet other basic needs, several nonprofit organizations, ministries and food pantries in Coweta County are providing free food, financial assistance, clothing, school supplies and more to local residents.

“Thirty-three percent of the people we’re seeing right now since January are new to our services,” said Kelli Yeager-Nelson, executive director of BTG Community Outreach Inc. “Most people are telling us they just don’t have enough food in the house right now. The costs are just too high. Rising food costs and rising gasoline costs are definitely impacting people who are utilizing our services.”

In one recent food distribution, BTG Community Outreach Inc., also known as Bridging the Gap, served nearly 175 families.

“We see a large number of senior citizens who are on a fixed income. During COVID, we really started to see our senior numbers escalate. We also see a lot of families. Fifty-seven percent of the people we serve are single females, head of household, who work. She’s got two or three kids, and she takes care of one of her parents. It’s typically an intergenerational family. The majority of people who come to us work. They just don’t make enough to make ends meet. It’s even more difficult right now for them.”

Learn more about available services being offered in Coweta County: Bridging the Gap Bridging the Gap, a faith-based organization also known as BTG Community Outreach Inc., offers weekly food distribution on Wednesdays at 4 p.m. and Saturdays at 8 a.m. The food boxes contain frozen meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, shelf stable items, bread, desserts and side items.

Visitors should bring photo ID to receive the food pantry box.

For those experiencing a food emergency on other days of the week, emergency bags with shelf stable foods are available. Additional services provided by Bridging the Gap include:

• Off-site food distribution is on Fridays at 4 p.m. at Kingdom Connected International Ministries, 121 Hillwood Circle in Newnan.

• Through the first week in August, local children can receive free lunches this summer from Monday through Friday, 12 to 1 p.m. at C.J. Smith Park.

Seniors have much to be concerned about in 2022 Seniors in Georgia were recently asked to state their biggest concerns.

The No. 1 concern was inflation. Which, at the time of this writing, was at 8.3 percent.

At No. 2 ... drug costs. According to the AARP Public Policy Institute, 75 of the 100 brand name drugs with the highest Medicare Part D spending in 2020 saw their list prices increase in January 2022; none experienced a decrease. The average increase was 5 percent, with some drug prices (12 of 75) growing by nearly 8 percent. I have been unable to find more current numbers, but I am sure that the increases are higher now than in January 2022.

And No. 3 was the lack of information on services available. Seniors just don’t know what is available for them and they don’t know how to go about finding out.

According to Mark Butler, Georgia’s Labor Commission, what isn’t on the senior’s or anyone’s radar of concern, but should be, is the caregiver shortage. Butler stated recently “Today it is a baby formula shortage, next year it will be a caregiver shortage.” A Labor Department report revealed only 9 percent of caregivers who left the workforce during COVID have since returned.

We do indeed have a lot to be concerned about. I wish I had an answer for inflation. I don’t. But I do have some suggestions for the other concerns.

There are a few things you can do to reduce your medication costs.

• Ask your doctor if a generic drug could replace the brand name you are presently using.

• Most health conditions can be treated by a number of different drugs. Ask your doctor or pharmacist, if there is a similar drug that costs less.

• Switch to a mail-order pharmacy. They very often will save you money. Even if it is just in the cost of gas to pick up your prescription.

• Look into a better Medicare drug plan.

• Check to see if your drug company offers help to pay for medications.

• For lower income seniors, Social Security has Check out the upcoming August edition of …

Senior Living Advice with BETH DOW, Geriatric Care Manager

a program called “Extra Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Costs” you should ask about.

And if you need help finding out about services available to you, the Three Rivers Area Agency on Aging is your one-stop shop. Three Rivers can help you with elder legal assistance, wellness and nutrition, personal care, homemaker support, grandparents raising grandchildren, long-term care and community transition options, senior employment job training, case management, assistance technology, and so much more. The number for Three Rivers is 770-854-6026.

Finally, what to do about our caregiving shortage?

Maybe you can be part of the solution. I had dinner with a friend the other night who has retired twice in the last 5 years and just went back to work again.

He just likes to work. Many people believe that our answer to the caregiver shortage can be found in the retired workforce. People who just like to work.

Caregiver skills are easily taught if someone has compassion and enjoys people. The skills part is easy to achieve. If you are a senior and interested in finding out more about being a caregiver, you can email: bdow@homehelpershomecare.com or call 678-876-5118.

We definitely have a lot to be concerned about.

We can’t fix everything, but by making a few phone calls, we might move toward reducing some of our concerns.

Join us for an evening of faith, fellowship and fun at our 9th annual Founder’s Dinner!

August 29, 6pm at The Newnan Centre

1515 Lower Fayetteville Road | Newnan 678.673.5486 | newnancentre.com The Founder’s Dinner marks the 51st birthday of CNC’s founder, the late Rob Estes of Newnan.

On August 16, 2013, Rob was diagnosed with an incurable form of brain cancer called glioblastoma.

As a result of this experience, Rob’s family realized the importance of faith, community, perseverance, and hope. They also realized the importance of helping others in their times of adversity. For this reason, they founded Can’t Never Could soon after his diagnosis. Because Rob was born on August 29, 1971— and Can’t Never Could was founded in August—CNC now honors the memory of its founder each August.

Tickets for the Founder’s Dinner $85 each or $135 per couple.

Can’t Never Could says it makes these contributions “with the desire to glorify Christ, who This year’s speaker is Steve Stirling, president and provides strength in all circumstances.”

Notes from here, there and the Internet …

From Abby’s Angels Foundation: “Newnan Crossing Elementary 4th grade teachers assist us by choosing a student who possesses qualities like Abby’s. This is the Abby Bacho Memorial Eagle Award.

We are deeply honored and grateful to share that McKenzie Holcombe was presented with a special Abby’s Angels bracelet and plaque during the 4th grade awards ceremony. Her teachers shared that McKenzie is never without a smile when she comes to class and is always helpful and caring. She is a true friend and has a way of making others feel better. “ [ [ [ Unlike popular belief, it was not Coca-Cola that turned Santa Claus red, they were just the first to create a famous commercial advert using him. It was an American cartoonist named Thomas Nast who actually turned Santa Claus red. [ [ [ “Okay” sounds happier than “ok.” [ [ [ Lauren Odom, who has spent 10 years running the Boys and Girls Clubs of Newnan/Coweta, is leaving to accept another job with the organization. “I will be stepping into a new role with BGCMA’s Resource Development Department. I have accepted the position of Director of Institutional Giving. In this role I hope to continue to financially support the day-to-day program operations of the clubs throughout Metro Atlanta,” she said. [ [ [ Ever wondered why the citrus soda 7-Up is called 7-Up? When it was created back in 1929, the “7” was selected after the original 7-ounce containers and the “Up” was selected because that was the direction of the bubbles. [ [ [ The man bun is the mullet of our generation. [ [ [ Save the date for the ever-popular Beer, Bourbon and Wine fundraiser supporting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Coweta County.

The event is Aug. 13 at the historic Train Depot in Newnan from 5 to 9:30 p.m. [ [ [ Fire stations have spiraling stairways for a very specific reason.

Back in the old days when the fire engines were pulled by horses, the horses worked out how to walk up straight staircases. So the spiraling stairways are to stop the horses from getting upstairs. [ [ [ When you are a kid playing the game Truth or Dare, Dare is the scary option. When you are an adult, it is Truth. [ [ [

The Coweta Samaritan Clinic has announced a long-term gift to expand its Patient Assist Program through the establishment of the Millie Coggin Patient Assist Trust Fund. Created in honor of Coweta County resident, Mrs. Millie Coggin, the fund will provide nonmedical financial support to Coweta Samaritan Clinic patients in times of extraordinary need. [ [ [ In one of the ultimate ironies, nobody knows who invented the first fire hydrant. The reason is that the patent was believed to be burned in a fire at the Patent Office in 1836, destroying all records of it. [ [ [ Since electronics contain silver, you could theoretically beat a werewolf to death with a Nokia. [ [ [ The local nonprofit Can’t Never Could is observing August as Founder’s Month and will hold its annual Founder’s Dinner on August 29, at the Newnan Centre. This year’s speaker is Steve Stirling, president and CEO of MAP International, a Christian organization providing medicines and health supplies to those in need around the world so they might experience life to the fullest. [ [ [ Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation (YMMC), based here in Newnan, broke ground recently on a new, advanced, and innovative “SMART” Warehouse, the first-of-its-kind for Yamaha Motor Company worldwide. Using state-of-the-art automated storage and retrieval systems, the new 200,000 square foot facility will be capable of reducing response time for fulfilling dealer orders for Yamaha WaveRunners, Golf Cars, ATVs, and Side-by-Sides by more than 50 percent. [ [ [ The more you learn, the more you realize how little you actually know. [ [ [ Last fall, the Howard Warner Boys & Girls Club was awarded a grant from the Alan Jackson “Where I Come From” Tornado Relief Concert fund. The grant was given to the organization to purchase a van to replace one that had been damaged by the tornado. Thanks to that grant, and after months of searching, the Boys & Girls Club finally has its new van. [ [ [ Greg Shinkle has been named Deputy Fire Chief of Coweta County Fire Rescue.

5 Ways to Lower Cooling Costs

www.wintersmedia.net H July 27, 2022 H The WEEKLY H Page 15

by Candace Tucker, Family and Consumer Sciennces Agent, UGA Extenision Coweta County As the summer heat rises, so will your electric bill. This comes as no surprise as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that the average household spends more than $2,200 a year on energy bills, with nearly half going towards heating and cooling costs. Luckily, there are changes you can make to lower your cooling and overall energy costs.

u Be sure to maintain your cooling equipment. Routine

maintenance is necessary to ensure your cooling system operates efficiently. Check your air filter every month and change it out if it’s dirty or at least every three months. This will prevent dust and dirt from accumulating in your system which can cause it to use more energy and possible early system failure. For all other maintenance, contact a qualified technician to check over your cooling system in the spring.

v Install a programmable thermostat that fits your

lifestyle. There are three different models of programmable thermostats to choose from — 7-day, 5+2, and 5-1-1. To determine the best one for you, think about your schedule and how often you

are away from home. 7-day models offer flexibility if your schedule changes each day. 5+2 models stay on the same schedule every weekday and have a separate schedule for the weekends. 5-1-1 models stay on the same schedule Monday through Friday and have separate schedules on Saturdays and Sundays.

product that can help save energy in hot, sunny climates. When correctly installed with air sealing, each type of insulation should lower energy bills during the hottest times of the year.

Before you install insulation, be sure to look for and seal air leaks because it performs best when air is not moving through or around it. Many air leaks and drafts are easy to find because you can feel them—like those around windows and doors. However, holes hidden in attics, basements, and crawlspaces are usually bigger problems. Sealing these leaks with caulk, spray foam, or weather stripping will have a great impact on reducing utility bills.

If you have a manual thermostat, you can adjust the temperatures daily before you leave the house and when you go to sleep at night.

Typically, adjusting temperatures 5 - 8 degrees up in summer can help save energy if you are going to be away from home for several hours. The goal is the same no matter which thermostat you use that is to keep your thermostat set at energy-saving temperatures for long periods, such as during the day when no one is home and at bedtime.

home as they are used to distribute conditioned air from your cooling system. High energy bills can result from air loss due to duct leaks, holes, or poorly connected ducts. If possible, seal any visible leaks by using a mastic sealant or metal (foil) tape and insulating ducts you have access to such as the attic, basement, or garage. Duct tape is not a sustainable sealing method and should be avoided. Also, take the time to inspect your registers and vents for any leaks and disconnected ductwork. For more extensive ductwork repair, hire a professional contractor.

x Insulate and seal the exterior of your home. This

includes your home’s outer walls, ceiling, windows, and floor.

There are several common types of insulation—fiberglass (in both batt and blown forms), cellulose, rigid foam board, and spray foam. Reflective insulation (or radiant barrier) is another insulating

If you choose to replace your unit, look for ENERGY STAR certified equipment to be properly installed by a professional. Improper installation of your cooling equipment can reduce the system’s efficiency by 30 percent.

Northgate earns GHSA Sportsmanship honor; Falcons, SEC Media Days, All-Star Braves & more

By JOEY HOWARD, The Weekly Northgate High School was awarded the GHSA Cooperative Spirit Sportsmanship award for the 2021-22 school year.

Northgate was one of 64 schools to be awarded the honor, which is sponsored by Georgia’s Electric Membership Cooperatives (EMCs). The award highlights schools that demonstrated impeccable sportsmanship during the past school year.

“Congratulations to all of the region winners of the GHSA Cooperative Spirit Sportsmanship Award for 2021-2022,” says Dr. Robin Hines, GHSA executive director.

“It is an honor for these member schools to be selected by their regions for this award.

The characteristics of good sportsmanship are critical to the development of our young people as they transition into productive adults. The GHSA applauds our schools on this accomplishment and appreciates Georgia’s EMCs for their support of this outstanding recognition program.”

Northgate was named the Region 2-5A award winner.
