Publisher’sPerspective

A LETTER FROM

My Father

PUBLISHER/SALES Jack Tuszynski Jack@FamilyLifePublications.com EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Julie Senger Julie@FamilyLifePublications.com ASSOCIATE EDITOR Cyndi Braun

In April 2021, Dad moved back to Hickory Flat where he and Mother had raised me and my brother, Victor, until our teen years. After settling into his new home, he started reading the local magazine that appeared each month in the mail. Imagine his surprise when he read this column and saw a somewhat familiar face in the signature below! The scattered pieces of the past began to come together again, as only our Father in Heaven could align. The fact is, I had already forgiven Dad for his decisions and had no burden upon me to that regard, but to receive letters from him and actually be able to enjoy my father as my dad again was truly uplifting. The slate had been cleaned. Two years ago this month, I married my wife, Vicky. I am proud and blessed to be a co-father to a pair of really great teenagers, Molly and James. It is refreshing to have another grand-gentleman to share these times with, too. Life is particularly interesting when one realizes that it’s best we have no control over the circumstances of God’s plans ( Jeremiah 29:11). Let it be. That’s the kind of stuff that keeps me smiling. It is now my time to enjoy with our kids baseball games and horse shows, camping and hiking, and homework struggles and school achievements. Having spent my years building my career, I’ve come to realize that having kids is the ultimate job in life. I want to be most successful at being a good father – just like my dad.

Among rumors of his declining health, I had decided to simply “let him be,” discontinue my vain attempts to contact him and, out of respect, let him enjoy his final years as he wished. So, receiving a well written, succinct, and heartfelt letter in the mail just a week after Father’s Day was quite a surprise. My dad was alive and well.

ast June, I received a most memorable letter in the office mail — a letter from my father who was reaching out after many years of absence from my life. See, my father had felt it best to part ways with me and my brother many years ago in the confusion of the times.

Mayor’s Message

BECAUSE

It’s June

By Mayor Bill Grant

merican sportscaster and writer Al Bernstein said, “Spring being a hard act to follow, God created June.” This month follows the spring storms as the gateway to summer, and June also heralds another great season of community events and exciting developments in the “Coolest Small Town in America.” To be honest, it is difficult to know where to start, so let’s begin with the Canton Farmers Market (CFM) that celebrates its opening day on June 4 in Brown Park and runs every Saturday from 9:00am-12:30pm through October 15. In a recent article and guide to 2022 metro farmers markets by the AJC, Canton’s market was the opening feature story. The CFM grows (pun intended) bigger and better every year, and 2022 promises to be the best season yet. The most popular event in the area, Downtown Canton’s First Friday series, began last month and will continue through October with an amazing lineup of bands, food and beverage vendors, children’s activities, and of course — Canton’s ever-growing list of celebrated restaurants and shops. From Mama O’s to the Mill and everywhere in between, downtown, like June, will be busting out all over with residents of all ages rocking, rolling, and strolling from one exciting merchant to another. And speaking of rocking, Canton’s River Rock Summer Concert Series at Etowah River Park kicked off on May 21, and the Celebrity All-star Band will perform at the second concert on June 18. Two other concerts will feature Smokey Jones and the 3 Dollar Pistols (July 16) and Electric Avenue (August 27). As always, the concerts are FREE and family friendly, so bring your lawn chairs, coolers (no glass), and friends to rock by the river.

Of course, these are just a few of the many events coming to our great city this summer. In addition, we have so many more exciting developments to anticipate. Construction of the new Cherokee History Center is nearing completion, and final touches are being made to exhibits and programming elements. This state-of-the-art museum will open soon, bringing even more attention to Canton and the rich history of Cherokee County. By August, weather permitting, visitors to downtown will have new and expanded parking options in the City’s Archer Street deck. Parking will be FREE, and the deck will initially include 10 solar-powered electric vehicle-charging stations. The solar canopy will also provide energy to power City Hall and reduce utility costs. I’m sure everyone has noticed the construction across the river from The Mill on Etowah. This is for a sewer line replacement with a trail on top that will connect Heritage to Boling Park. When completed, Canton residents and visitors can walk along the river on one trail that connects our three largest parks — from city limit to city limit. Trust me, I could keep going, but my word count is limited! Visit City of Canton GA on social media to sign up for our e-news updates because, like spring, Canton is a hard act to follow!

Need Vehicle Air Conditioning Service? By Tony Craft

[HomeLife] If you’ve ever experienced air conditioning (AC) issues in your car or truck, you know how uncomfortable driving can be during summers in Georgia. If you turn your AC all the way up and it still isn’t offering relief from the heat, don’t settle for driving with the windows down, sweating from the humidity and sun. Schedule an appointment with an experienced and certified technician to have the problem repaired. AC service and diagnostics require special equipment and expertise. A low refrigerant level is the reason for many AC problems. Proper diagnosis of the cause of refrigerant loss is important to ensure a lasting repair. If the refrigerant levels are within specification from the manufacturer, then continued diagnosis will determine which of the many other reasons your AC system is experiencing issues. Once diagnosed, an experienced technician will offer a cost-effective solution to make the necessary repair(s). Attempting to “recharge” your AC yourself with a can of refrigerant from the store is not recommended. Adding refrigerant unnecessarily or incorrectly can cause damage to your system. It can also add contaminants, which may cause long lasting issues. Occasionally, your AC system will warn you when it’s struggling or about to fail. Unusual sounds in the interior or under the hood may alert you to a potential problem. Unusual vent temperature variation or odors may also be warning signs. If these symptoms occur, you should have your AC system inspected by a certified technician. Whatever you are experiencing with your AC system, be sure to hire a technician who utilizes modern diagnostic technologies and techniques to get to the root of your problem. A qualified technician should offer honest and transparent solutions to any issues.

Community Cherokee Parks Design Contract and Master Plans Approved

Local Businesses Join Forces With American Legion To Give Back to Homeless Veterans American Legion Thomas M. Brady Post 45, parent company of Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program (CCHVP), will partner with Christian Brothers Automotive and Patriot Towing to expand the veteran vehicle donation program and provide further offerings to local veterans. The CCHVP works to provide donated vehicles to disabled veterans at the 70% VA service-connected disability rating. Since the start of the program in 2018, the CCHVP has donated 33 vehicles to veterans in need.

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved an agreement for the design of the future park on Highway 92 at Hunt Road. The 52-acre parcel, which was part of the Southwest Cherokee Parks and Trails Plan, is a combination of what was known as Parcels 1 and 2 in the master planning process. Plans include a recreation/community center fronting Highway 92, sports fields, hiking trails, a playground, and open lawn.

Corey Ragsdale Steve West Cherokee County Commissioners

The $175,000 cost for designing and constructing Phase 1 is fully funded, through $2 million in Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). Phase 1 includes the initial design and construction of parking, restrooms, playground, trails, and the open lawn area. Phase 2 of the project is expected to focus on the recreation/community center, tree canopy walk, and sports fields. The $27 million needed for the complete development of Phase 2 will include funding from recreation and parks impact fees. A portion of the funding required is included in the proposed project list for SPLOST 2024.

Through these partnerships, CCHVP will expand its ability to acquire and repair nonoperational donated vehicles, since Patriot Towing will tow the vehicles as well as offer tax-deducted services on all vehicle pickups through the CCHVP program.

Commissioners also recently got their first look at the full Northeast Cherokee Parks Master Plans. The County engaged TSW last year to create master plans for three parcels including the 102-acre E.W. and Edith Cochran Park, the 24-acre Long Swamp Creek Recreation Area, and the 538-acre Yellow Creek Road Conservation Area. The Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to adopt the three parks master plans as part of the Cherokee Recreation, Parks Green Space & Trails Master Plan.

Christian Brothers Automotive, which currently donates roughly 1,000 vehicles a year to those in need, will provide preinspections of all the donated vehicles and will work closely with CCHVP to assist in locating vehicles to donate. In addition, Christian Brothers Automotive will also provide free services and repairs to veterans in need.

The proposals for Long Swamp Creek include an open lawn, walking trails, a wildflower meadow, and a feature to highlight the Native American settlement. The plan also shows a picnic area, orchard and pollinator garden, archery range, and a visitor’s center and restrooms.

For more information about the vehicle donation program, visit CherokeeHomelessVeterans.com. To donate your vehicle, please contact Jim Lindenmayer, director of CCHVP, at JLindenmayer80@gmail.com. 12

The Yellow Creek Road Conservation Area will feature separate equestrian/hiking trails and mountain biking trails. The drastic topography changes on the property make it ideal for trails. The concept plan also calls for primitive campsites. E.W. and Edith Cochran Park concept designs include two open green space areas, including one with a loop trail and fitness stations, a playground, two dog parks, and an 18-hole disc golf course. Due to its proximity to Free Home ES, the park offers a partnership opportunity with the school district to utilize an outdoor classroom for educational purposes. The parcel also features Buzzard Flapper Pond, providing the opportunity for a fishing pier. Rough cost estimates for the design and construction of the three parks is $24.8 million. Completion time is dependent on funding source identification and allocation. Add

Adventure Convertible

My With a By Orlando Llerandi

After reading in a book entitled 100 Things You Must Do Before Dying that one most own a convertible car, at least once in one’s lifetime, I told my wife that considering that we were in our late 70s, we should fulfill this “must do” requirement as soon as possible.

Finally, a fake, thin, straight black mustache. Back at home, after dressing up with all these new items, I looked in the mirror and saw the person I wanted to see driving my convertible: a Mediterranean sexy looking and mysterious individual, dressed casually but in good taste, projecting an image of wealth and power. A man that would be the envy of all men and the desire of every woman.

She agreed. I also told her that, being a brunette, she wouldn’t be allowed to drive it since only blonde females are permitted to drive convertible cars. She disagreed. A week later, we bought a new Sebring convertible that looked like a shark, black on top with a slender silvery flashing body.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SHARED SHORT STORIES WITH US! We received an entertaining assortment of thoughtful, well written submissions that covered a variety of topics, and we appreciated reading each one. We truly enjoyed “visiting” the succinct worlds you created, which inspired us to feel a wide array of emotions.

Afterward, I realized that I had some shopping to do in order to blend the fantasy of a sexy automobile with the image of the driver. So, off shopping I went the following day. First, I bought a creamy-colored, supple and smooth Panama hat with a wide brim and a black band around it. Then, a straight L-shaped pipe along with a pouch of chocolate flavored tobacco. I had never smoked a pipe in my life, but this was an accessory that had to be had. Sunglasses next: Ray-Ban aviator style, dark and impenetrable with a golden frame. Then, some appropriate clothing: beige Chino pants; very light fabric, long-sleeved, white Greek shirt with no collar; and a pair of white loafers to be wore with no socks.

The following day, a cool early autumn Sunday morning, I drove my convertible out of the garage and was just finishing retracting the top when my wife joined me dressed for the occasion, also: dark sunglasses with wide tortoise frame, black pants, light silky longsleeved red blouse, and a large straw Pamela red hat. Before driving off, I ran a mental checklist to make sure that everything was in order. Sunglasses clean, hat positioned in the correct angle, shirt with the top two buttons undone, mustache in place, and top and windows down. Then, I lighted my pipe. After merging onto Highway 92, I accelerated until the car reached the legal cruising speed of 45 mph. The wind felt cold and blew hard against our faces. I looked at my wife with a satisfying smile on my face, which soon changed into a smirk when I saw that her lips were turning blue, and her cheeks were the color of raw meat. “What’s happening to you? Your face is changing color.” “I think it’s too cold to be driving with the top down. I’m freezing. At least pull up the windows,” she requested, trembling.

Congratulations to Our Winner, Orlando Llerandi Following her request, but not being familiar with the locations of the different command switches in the new car, I took my eyes off the road and started to look around for the switch that operates the windows. Then, I looked back to the road and back again to the control panel.

The only thing I achieved was to knock the pipe out of my mouth, making it land on the back seat of the car.

As I was moving my eyes up and down, a rush of wind took possession of my Panama hat, which flew up and away like a kite. In the split second when I noticed that the hat was about to separate from my head, I made a sudden movement with my left hand trying to hold it in place, but it was too late.

I drove off the road immediately and stopped the car.

I ripped the false accessory off my face and threw it away also. “Let’s go home,” I said.

“Oh my God,” yelled my wife in panic. “The burning ashes came out of the pipe and are all over the seat.”

After getting out of the car, I went to the back seat, took the burning ashes with my handkerchief, and threw them away along with the hanky. Still infuriated by the stupid accident, I also threw away the pipe followed by the pouch of tobacco. I looked back, trying to spot my hat, but all I could see was a white object jumping from side to side off the road, over which cars and trucks were rolling at top speed. Re-entering the car, I felt exhausted and frustrated. At that point, my wife made the final humiliating comment: “Your mustache is hanging from just one end.”

“That’s fine with me, but before you start driving, please — put the top back up.” I did. “Listen,” I said. “I’m nervous and irritated, so I think it would be best if you drove the car back home.” “Excuse me, but not being a blonde woman, I’m not allowed to drive this car,” she responded with a sweet voice and making a face I knew so well: eyes looking way up, eyelids opening and closing in quick succession, lips showing a subtle smile, and head tilted to the side. “Well, never mind about what I said before, you can drive the car now.” “Do you mean now as in now only, or now as in every time I need the car?” Take no prisoners, I thought. “Okay, you could use the car at any time,” I conceded. Going back home, I kept very quiet while my wife was humming a song, playing drums with her fingers on the steering wheel, and a Mona Lisa smile on her face.

Protecting Our Elders from Scams, Abuse, and Neglect By District Attorney Shannon Wallace

magine receiving an unexpected phone call telling you that your child or grandchild was in a terrible accident and needed assistance right away. Most of us would drop everything to help, no questions asked. This is exactly why scammers continue to use ploys like this with susceptible, older adults who stand to lose all their retirement savings. These criminals are savvy and use technology to scam even the wisest of victims. Since June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, it’s a good time to review common scams and abuse that especially affect our elderly.

Common Scams • Imposter scams — Imposter scams occur when criminals pose as family members, law enforcement officers, bank officials, or others in an attempt to trick people into giving them money or personal data. Recently, a defendant mimicked the voice of an individual’s grandchild, which we believe she found on social media, to deceive and scam the victim out of money. • Romance scams — Online dating provides scammers with the opportunity to pose as a love interest and then convince the unwary to send money, usually in the form of gift cards. • Sweepstakes or inheritance scams — Victims are told they will receive a large sum of money, but first they must pay a processing fee to claim it. Of course, no winnings follow.

Elder Abuse Apart from scams by strangers, elder abuse can also occur with trusted family, friends, or caregivers. Typically, elder abuse is one (or all) of the following: • Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse; • Failure to provide essential medical care, adequate nutrition, hygiene, or a safe living environment; • Financial exploitation by using force, threats, or deceit to deprive access to financial resources.

How We Help The District Attorney’s Office has a specialized unit to handle the prosecution of these crimes. In 2017, our office founded, and now leads, a multidisciplinary team that meets monthly and brings together organizations committed to protecting vulnerable adults from situations of abuse or exploitation. Members discuss reports of abuse and collaborate to ensure victims of abuse, neglect, and exploitation are better served. In 2021, the group reviewed 371 cases of suspected abuse or neglect of elders or vulnerable adults in Cherokee, up from 235 cases in 2020. We also partner with Cherokee Triad S.A.L.T., an organization that works to reduce victimization of senior citizens by offering programs for seniors and caregivers. More information on these programs can be found here: SALTCherokee.com.

How You Can Help We all can play a role in reducing victimization of our vulnerable population. Visit older adults in your life and make sure they are healthy and safe. Talk to them about common scams and ensure they are making sound decisions. Report elder abuse through the Georgia Division of Aging Services at 866-55AGING (866-552-4464) or Aging.Georgia.gov/ report-elder-abuse. Call 911 if someone is in immediate danger. Remember, scammers often pose as someone you might normally trust. While scammers may specifically target senior citizens, even the savviest among us can be tricked.

Japanese Beetle Invasion By Joshua Fuder

[HomeLife] There are few things as predictable as frustrated gardeners complaining about Japanese beetles in June. These pests are especially destructive because both the adults and larvae injure plants. Adult beetles will periodically leave the plants on which they are feeding to lay eggs. They burrow about three inches into the soil to do this. In four to six weeks, the adults begin to die. By late summer, larvae begin to hatch from the eggs and start feeding on the roots of lawn grass. Crows, starlings, and many other birds eat the larvae. Moles and skunks are also fond of Japanese beetle grubs. Homeowners can apply insecticide treatments to control grubs. Treatments include imidacloprid (Bayer Advanced), carbaryl (Sevin SL), and others. Of course, always follow all label directions when using pesticides.

Organic gardeners may use milky spore disease to control grubs. This material is sold under the brand names Doom, Japidemic and Milky Spore. Over time, this biological material will help control grubs in the areas you treat, but adults may still fly in from untreated areas. You can spray adult Japanese beetles on ornamentals with dinotefuran. Special precautions should be taken if plants are in bloom, as pollinators may be harmed. Organic gardeners may choose to shake or hand pick the critters into a container of

Serving Canton, Sixes/BridgeMill, Holly Springs, and Hickory Flat

soapy water. This is most effective in early morning while the beetles are sluggish. Early control and prevention of large congregations can go a long way, as damaged plants will emit an odor that combines with a pheromone released by female beetles to attract even more beetles to an area. Whatever you do, do not use beetle traps, as they attract beetles with a pheromone and will attract far more of them than they are able to catch. Traps should only be used as a monitoring tool, far away from desirable plants, to help determine when control measures will be warranted.

COVER STORY By Patti Richter

CHILD

Imagine African elephants — 57,000 of them — landed at HartsfieldJackson International Airport. Then they headed north on I-85 toward their destination in the North Druid Hills area of Brookhaven. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) says the elephants’ combined weight represents its newest hospital once it is completed and filled. The 1.5-million-square-foot Arthur M. Blank Hospital, a 19-story tower with two wings, should weigh approximately 570 million pounds. Janet Read is Children’s community development officer in Canton, serving both Cherokee and Pickens counties. She says CHOA’s new 70-plus-acre campus outside of Atlanta’s perimeter will help provide Cherokee County residents access to the very best in pediatric care. “At Children’s, we’re excited about the new hospital,” Read says. “And the elephants are just a part of our ‘Never Settle’ campaign to spread the news about this largest healthcare project in Georgia’s history.” For the Sake of Georgia Kids The Never Settle campaign means CHOA is dreaming bigger — not stopping at good enough. The healthcare system seeks to include Atlanta communities in bringing this project to completion. “We cannot do what we do without the help of generous donations from foundations, corporations, and individuals,” says Children’s. The construction project that began in late 2020 is CHOA’s most transformative

investment since its beginning in 1915 as the Scottish Rite Convalescent Home for Crippled Children. After 107 years, Children’s is now represented by a vast number of people who work together to deliver exceptional pediatric care: 11,000 employees and more than 10,000 volunteers. After its expected completion in 2025, the Arthur M. Blank Hospital will become CHOA’s third hospital, replacing the current Egleston campus. Children’s two other hospitals include Scottish Rite and Hughes Spalding. CHOA’s healthcare system also contains more than 25 neighborhood facilities throughout metro Atlanta including many Pediatric Urgent Care locations. In Canton, Children’s Physician Group on Riverstone Parkway offers both orthopedic and sports medicine. The rising $1.5-billion hospital (located near Emory University) was named in honor of Arthur M. Blank, whose foundation made the largest donation CHOA has ever received: $200 million. Plans for its completion are dream-worthy indeed — inside and out. The hospital will be nearly the size of Mercedes-Benz Stadium (another facility connected to Arthur M. Blank, who owns the Atlanta Falcons). Some of its more notable specifications include: • Larger single-patient rooms to facilitate family members overnight • Kitchens, shower facilities, laundry rooms, and business centers for families • 75% of patient rooms will have garden views • 20 acres of greenspace with a football-field-sized “Great Lawn” for children and families to enjoy and to serve as a special events venue • Three miles of walking trails and 1,200 trees for the benefit of children, their families, and CHOA employees Already in place on the North Druid Hills campus is the Children’s Center for Advanced Pediatrics, which opened in 2018. Still to come is an 11-story medical office building that will be attached to the hospital. This 325,000-square-foot structure will house outpatient clinics, a high-tech simulation center, and a state-of-the-art conference center.

“ It is comforting to know the team at CHOA stands ready to help support families like mine in times of illness or injury. They share my mission as a parent to help keep children healthy and safe. We are blessed to have them be part The Path Forward of our community! Children’s at Scottish Rite will remain a Level 2 — Jodi, mother pediatric trauma center and grow its neuroscience and orthopedic programs, and the Hughes Spalding Hospital will continue to focus on primary care and treatment of asthma and sickle cell disease. The Arthur M. Blank Hospital will be designated a Level 1 pediatric trauma center, the only one in Georgia.

”

The new hospital will focus on cardiac, hematology/oncology, and transplant services. This cutting-edge facility will include robocarts and pneumatic conveyors to move materials, cell therapy labs, a 3D printing lab that will help create lifesaving options, and a six-bed Special Care Unit for treatment of infectious diseases. “We are also committed to addressing the growing crisis of behavioral and mental health issues among children including depression, anxiety, autism, and attention deficit disorder. We will partner with our community to build a pediatric ecosystem of care that improves outcomes, reduces stigma, and enhances access, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment,” says Children’s.

HollySpringsNotes

BEHIND THE DESIGN:

Holly Springs Town Center Project By Erin Honea

he construction of the Holly Springs Town Center is the culmination of years of work and thoughtful planning. One of the most critical elements of that process was the project’s design. The City had a strong vision for a Town Center that would not only become an exciting new destination for residents and visitors, but would also remain true to the character of Holly Springs. The following is an interview with Roger Caldwell, principal of Caldwell-Cline Architects and Designers, who was tapped as the lead architect for the project.

Q: From an architectural perspective, what was the inspiration behind this project? A: The biggest thing that I wanted to do was create a place that is classic in a historically accurate sense, not just trendy but timeless. Many town centers and mixed-use settings have gone up over the years. The design may be what’s on-trend at that moment in time, but what will it feel like in 50 years? I wanted the Holly Springs Town Center to feel like these buildings have been here forever. And in 50 years, they’ll still feel that way. The real intent of the design is to be timeless. Q: How did that come to life in the design? A: It’s classically good design that’s not watered down in terms of the styling,

Canton Family Life

| June 2022

proportions, and details that stands the test of time. You will see a lot of those design principles at work in the structures across the site. In the layout of the site itself, there’s symmetry and balance. The sight lines are important and well thought out. For example, the amphitheater is on axis with City Hall. You have this long, central park space that is symmetrically flanked by the buildings on either side. People may not specifically notice those things when they are there, but it makes the place feel good, and that’s what people will notice. Q: What about the buildings themselves? A: You have City Hall as this central icon to the site with everything built around it. It should feel as though it has been there for a long time and has grown and evolved. The buildings around City Hall should appear as if they were added on naturally over the years. We’ve chosen traditional materials and color palettes, with variation throughout the different structures on the site, to create that sense of a place that has grown over time. Q: To work for the way we live now, how do you make classic design modern? A: We are creating a classic feel with modern function. So, there are a lot of

details that help to make the site work well for today while still maintaining that feel. That can be something small such as how we’ve incorporated areas for rideshare drop-offs. It also impacts some of the major elements of the site. For example, the parking deck will serve the site and is designed to expand over time if needed. It’s convenient from an access standpoint but aesthetically hidden away. The land plan is pedestrian friendly in that it de-emphasizes the vehicle by taking it out of the experience. You can park then spend the day out of your car. Q: What experience do you hope visitors will have? A: I hope it’s a place that feels like it’s always been here and where you can spend a whole day. Start with breakfast, hang out on the green, catch a show at the amphitheater, and have dinner. It’s a whole destination unto itself, and one where you can feel at home.

Book Review BY JESSICA ORAVEC

The Lost Summers of Newport

you could go anywhere for the summer, where would you go? Italy? Martha’s Vineyard? In The Lost Summers of Newport, by Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White, Newport, Rhode Island, is the hot summer vacation spot for the wealthy in the late 1800s. Everyone is there: the Vanderbilts, the Schuylers, and even the Spragues, a family with newly acquired wealth eager to prove themselves. In 1899, Ellen Daniels comes to Newport to be the music teacher of Maybelle Sprague. Alone and desperate, Ellen sees her time with the Spragues as a chance for a new life. But all is not as it seems in the family’s Newport mansion. When a prince comes to court Maybelle, everyone’s lives change. At nine years old, Lucia (Lucky) comes to America with her Nonna, the Princess di Conti. She always knew that the Sprague mansion was her inheritance, and she married Stuy Sprague after discovering she was pregnant. In 1957, Lucky is living in the Sprague mansion, unhappily married to Stuy (he cheats), and spending her nights chasing her Nonna (who sleepwalks) and her days mothering Joanie and planning the Tiffany Ball. Things happen that upend all their lives, leading Stuy to disappear and Lucky to live out her days in a mansion that begins to crumble around her. In 2019, Andrea Figuero (Andie) is the show host for Makeover Mansions. She travels to Newport to fix the Sprague mansion and uncover some of the family’s history. Lucky is a recluse, living on the third floor of the house. Her two grandchildren are not very welcoming, and the network sponsors want more flash and scandal and less history. While uncovering items at Sprague Hall, Andie ends up unearthing a scandal that changes everyone’s lives. It’s always a gamble reading a book written by multiple authors, but this book is well written and well researched. The storylines are well developed and cohesive.

Senator Speaks

Be Alert By State Senator Bruce Thompson

live on Highway 20 between Canton and Cartersville. Occasionally, a stray dog may wander into a lane hoping to find its way back home, or a deer may dash across the road. Although the Georgia deer are much smaller than where I grew up, they can still cause significant damage if you hit one. When you are raised in mountain country, as I was, it was not uncommon to travel miles without seeing another soul, but the wildlife were abundant, and you had to be vigilant about the herds of antelope that ignored traffic etiquette or laws. In north central Montana, everyone had a grill guard on their truck, and some had one on their car to minimize the damage of hitting a crossing

deer or antelope, but it did little to protect the windshield from a leaping goat! Over the past 11 months, I’ve traveled more than 61,000 miles on the campaign trail. Many of those miles were on two-lane roads where I had to dodge tire remnants, bumpers, and even downed trees lying in the roadway. A few weeks ago, I was traveling south of Columbus at about 3:00am, and five deer appeared in the road as if posing as target practice. With little time to spare, I had to choose between the deer and the ditch. Fearing the impact of hitting the ditch, I chose the deer. I knew upon impact that the damage was severe and soon realized my truck would be in the body shop for months. Although frustrated that my truck was destroyed, I realized just how blessed I was that I was fully alert when the mishap occurred. If I had been drowsy or distracted, the outcome could have been much worse.

Mark 13:33-37 refers to the Lord returning and the importance of being on guard and fully alert. “Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. Therefore, stay awake — for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning — lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.”

everything I did for them. I still talk about Mattie, Bill, BJ, Irene, and the list goes on. There are so many amazing seniors in our centers in Cherokee County that I can’t mention them all, but one who really stands out as a good person in my mind is Jimmy. He is so kind, polite, never has a bad thing to say, and would give the shirt off his back to help someone. I strive to be more like Jimmy, and if I can be half as good as he is, I will be just fine.

Good Person By Tim Morris

[Lifestyle] Throughout my life, I have known some really good people. What makes up a good person? I believe they are sincere, patient, and kind with a willingness to help others. These are the character traits I look for in the people I hire to work with the elderly at the Senior Center. Recently, I walked into a gas station, following another man. Even though he knew

I was behind him, he opened the door and let it close on me without even attempting to hold it open. I was always taught to hold the door for someone, even if they were several feet away. Does that make me a good person? I try to be, but I didn’t feel like a good person when I let that man’s actions bother me at the gas station. A good person would not have dwelled on it. Working in aging for more than 30 years, I have met some truly incredible seniors who will forever be a fond memory for me because they were so kind and grateful for

Being a good person can be helpful in any job, but especially in the Senior Center because our staff needs to go the extra mile to do what they can for our seniors, and Senior Center employees will have the blessing of remembering those they’ve helped for years to come. L

BridgeMill Dentistry

ridgeMill Dentistry is a comprehensive dental practice with a 20-year history of serving the Canton community. The practice provides patients of all ages with a wide range of important services including preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental care. While the overall commitment to providing the very best dental treatment has remained constant since Dr. Scott Merritt first started treating patients in Canton in 2002, there have been significant changes since that time. In 2012, the current office was built across the street from the original location. The new facility was specially designed to comfortably accommodate new and long-time patients as well as the growing staff and continued addition of state-of-the-art equipment. It also made it possible for Dr. Michael Cox, who trained at the Medical College of Georgia, to join the practice. BridgeMill Dentistry welcomed Dr. Matthew Dimassi to the team in 2017. Dr. Dimassi

attended Georgia State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology, and went on to the University of Alabama to earn his DMD degree in 2011. He completed his residency at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2012. “We’ve built a trust with our patients over many years, and I attribute that to our team’s commitment to putting patient comfort and treatment first,” said Dr. Merritt. In addition to three dentists, the team consists of seven hygienists, six dental assistants, and five office support staff members. The entire team works hard to provide whatever services patients need including cleanings, digital X-rays, fillings, crowns, root canals, and bonding. Each dentist also routinely performs cosmetic procedures including porcelain veneers and teeth whitening. BridgeMill Dentistry has earned a reputation for providing excellent dental care while maintaining a strong commitment to the community. Each year, the practice supports

H 2022 &W Jyl Craven Hair Design

yl Craven Hair Design serves guests of all ages. Designing hairstyles that accentuate your personality, benefit your lifestyle, and complement your natural features is something the professionals at the salon do every day. Over the years, the salon has been caring for a growing number of women challenged with hair loss. By artfully crafting haircuts, the stylists can give guests added body, density, and strength. Dimensional color can also be used to give the illusion of thicker hair, and the salon carries an exclusive line of professional products that specifically target thinning hair.

Challenged with FINE or THINNING Hair? Nearly 30 million women in the U.S. experience hair loss, and 50% of women experience female pattern baldness by age 50. The reasons for hair loss may include an imbalance of hormones, medications, thyroid problems, menopause, stress, or genetic conditions. But regardless of the reason, the emotional struggle is the same. Evolve Volumizer Before & After

“While hair loss is rough for men, it can be even more devastating for women. Men enjoy a certain level of societal acceptance when going bald. But women with thinning hair are subjected to more emotional distress. Many women take pride in their hair, and it can be a strong source of self confidence for them. As strands fall out, so does their sense of security about themselves,” says Jyl Craven. A lady’s hair plays a huge role in her self-esteem and self-image. Imagine the emotional anguish experienced by women with fine, thin hair — hair that is insufficient to cover the top and crown of the head, the areas that everyone sees, but no one talks about.

Jyl Craven Hair Design Has the Solution The Evolve Volumizer is a nonsurgical, integrated hair replacement system for women experiencing up to 50% hair loss on the crown or top of their head. It consists of 100% human hair, which is lightweight and conforms to the shape of the top and crown of the client’s head. It can be worn for up to five weeks before being uninstalled and reinstalled. Each hair on the system is hand-tied to create volume on the top, causing it to lay flat and blend in with the sides of a client’s head shape.

The system can be cut to your individual style and blow-dried, ironed (curl and flat), dried naturally, braided, tucked behind your ear, or put up into a pony or chignon for evening wear. The Evolve Volumizer addresses all the needs and desires that a woman has for fuller, thicker, denser hair. It produces immediate results and requires no glue, no adhesives, and no chemicals. Since 2012, Jyl Craven Hair Design has been helping women both emotionally and physically with the Evolve Volumizer. The salon has multiple Evolve Certified stylists who provide guests with ease of scheduling and the added assurance that there will always be someone available to assist them. The Evolve Volumizer doesn’t change who you are; it changes how you feel about yourself.

as enjoyable and comfortable as possible, utilizing technology from digital low-dose X-rays, digital patient charts, and digital impressions (mouth scans instead of messy molds).

Harmony Orthodontics is dedicated to providing high quality orthodontic care to patients of all ages. Dr. Mathieson recommends that kids be seen by age seven for their first exam. Treatment may not be recommended this young, but having an orthodontist monitor jaw growth and permanent teeth coming in helps prevent more complicated procedures in the future. Treatment is customized for each patient, using techniques ranging from traditional braces to clear aligners to braces behind the teeth or a combination of these options.

New patient exams can be scheduled and new patient documents can be completed on the company’s website. Harmony Orthodontics offers no-interest financing and is in-network with many PPO insurance plans.

2021, Butterfly Whisper, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, served 152 homeless, transient, and at-risk families, one urgent need at a time. This year is already showing the needs will be even larger than last year, and the organization’s clients are ready to bounce back with the generous support of their Whispers. At this nonprofit, donors are called “Whispers” because of the quiet strength, experience, and hope they provide to Cherokee’s “Butterflies” (their clients) to help them soar using their own “wings.” Butterflies are the forgotten members of our community, the ones among us who need the most support. Urgent needs are ever-changing, and Butterfly Whisper rises to meet needs such as coordinating the delivery of 60,000 pounds of food to 11 mobile home communities in Cherokee, the placement and replenishment of two small food pantries in our community, care bags for our homeless community members, and one-time emergency rental assistance to vetted individuals to prevent homelessness. Butterfly Whisper fills existing gaps in other nonprofit services. Nights and weekends are their strongest support hours, as staff members meet needs that cannot wait until Monday or tomorrow.

In 2021, Butterfly Whisper coordinated the disbursement of $40,000 in donations raised exclusively within our community, all of which was distributed solely in Cherokee County. This is no small feat for a 100% volunteer-based organization, helmed by Tonya Reynolds, a decade-long Cherokee resident, who established Butterfly Whisper after her own experience with homelessness. Permanently laid off from her job in 2010, Reynolds lived in a motel for more than a year. She knew that if she ever made it out of homelessness, she was going to do everything she could to prevent others from going through what she went through. Reynolds is a success story, and she works tirelessly to create success stories for others. Last year’s Christmas program was an enormous success with 50 families being provided Christmas wishes including items like AirPods and hoverboards, which are not normally fulfilled by nonprofits. The organization stands behind the belief that all children deserve the same magical Christmas, regardless of economic status. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter meal boxes were provided thanks to the generous support of Publix. With growing corporate sponsorships, Butterfly Whisper has received donations from retailers such as Apple, Amazon, and Walmart, and they are strongly supported by local small businesses such as Atlanta Bread Company (Woodstock), Scrappy’s Junk Removal, Longview Lighting, McDonald’s (Hickory Flat), and Align (Woodstock). This support has given the organization the ability to take on special interest projects such as a recent clean out of a hoarding situation. Butterfly Whisper also offers GED scholarships, and computers with internet access are available in their office to apply for jobs and create resumes. For more information and to learn how you can help, please follow Butterfly Whisper on Facebook and/or visit their website. The organization currently has 2,700 Facebook followers, which is where interested parties can see upcoming events, current projects, fundraisers, and updates about members of our community who are doing the right thing.

Artist Profile BY ELLEN SAMSELL SALAS

Photographer

Erik Scherb

Explores Diverse Avenues As an undergraduate, Erik Scherb trained to be a commercial photographer. Now, his photography and videography span commercial as well as artistic realms, combining technical know-how with aesthetic sensibilities. Scherb’s goal — whether he is photographing an actor, author, or family or creating a company video or an abstract piece — is to engage viewers. In portraits, he must gain a sense of his subjects’ essential qualities, what makes them interesting, and then figure out how to “visually tell the story they want to convey.” In shooting product stills, Scherb aims to showcase what makes the product special. “Products need to look authentic and real, but you also want them to be almost super real and perfect,” he said. “You want them to look amazing. You have to have the lighting, the color temperature right.”

Enhancing Scherb’s understanding of color, light, value, and composition is the aesthetic element of his work. Two tours in Afghanistan impressed upon him that life is fleeting and caused him to expect more than technical precision in his photography. Later, his master’s program at Savannah College of Art and Design spurred him “to think as an artist, not a craftsperson.” His recent work in abstraction freed him to work as an artist. Scherb’s urban landscapes evolved, as he walked through empty streets at the onset of the pandemic, asking how could he present the everyday world in unique ways. “I experimented with movement. Movement of the camera,” he said. “So, it became expressionist versus only being an observer. I was able to put myself into the image by movement then to send it out into the world, and let viewers react. I really enjoy that the

artist puts so much into the work then is forgotten, and the viewer does the work of interpreting, seeing what they want to see.” Skilled in Photoshop, Scherb combines multiple images, creating a finished work where light, color, and shapes interplay and invite viewers to respond to the piece through their own discernment. While definitely a photographic jackof-all-trades, “explorer” more aptly describes Scherb. “Portrait, product, or fine art, I want people to be completely in love with my photographs. My joy is getting people to love themselves in the image I create. In my abstract work, my joy is when someone is engaged and impacted by the same thing I was impacted by. I hope that I’m building a connection, a bridge through my art.”

FIVE WAYS To Raise a Reader [AcademicLife] It’s been said that reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. Reading strengthens children’s analytical thinking skills, improves their memories, and expands their vocabulary. Reading is also an excellent way to reduce stress. But, how do you raise a reader? Check out the following tips.







Establish a story time. Ask your child to pick out a book and read it to him while he snuggles with you on the couch. Make time every day to read an age-appropriate book to him. He will remember the time you spent together, even if he forgets the stories. Share your favorites. Have favorite books from your childhood? Pick out a few, read them to your child, and see if any of them click. She might not love all of them, but chances are that she will probably go wild for some of them. After all, books like Green Eggs and Ham and Curious George are classics for a reason. Explore an author’s works. Did your child love Where the Wild Things Are and Chicken Soup with Rice?

Find Maurice Sendak’s other books and read them to him. If you aren’t familiar with the author’s other works, you can ask your local librarian or do some research on the internet to find additional titles. You may also consider asking the librarian to recommend other popular children’s authors. Let one passion inspire another. Find books that speak to your child’s interests. Does she like animals? Check out a Berenstain Bears book from the local library. Is your little one into trucks? Get some books about construction. Got a baseball fan? Well, you get the idea.



Lead by example. Encourage your child to be a voracious reader by showing him that you are a voracious reader. Planning weekly trips to the library with him, taking him to your local bookstore on a regular basis, and designating a special story time will show him that you make reading a priority.

Godly Instruction By Rev. Kevin Huff

[InGoodFaith] As we approach Father’s Day, I think that one of the most important things that a godly father can do is to give godly instruction to his children. In 1 Chronicles 28:9 there’s an example of this when David says, “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your fathers and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind…” Now, to all the fathers who are reading this, I want to pose this question: Are you, just like King David, instructing your children concerning the things of God? It may be that you are not because you do not know Jesus yourself. In my 28 years as a pastor, I have seen where many fathers have shipwrecked their families because they refuse to follow God’s word. The Bible says, “Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it….” (Psalm 127:1). Fathers, if there is one thing that I want to encourage you with, it is this:

Let the word of God be your compass in life. When you let his word guide you, then you will be better equipped to give godly instruction to your children, which they greatly need because there are forces in this world that want to ruin their lives. My prayer for all fathers is that the Lord would bless you and your loved ones and provide wisdom to lead your family in this unsettling world. Happy Father’s Day! L
