SOUTHERN CONSERVATION TRUST

Ribbon Cutting ceremony at the Ridge. Photos by Marlene J. Koslowsky

ince it was founded in 1993, the Southern Conservation Trust has played an important role in protecting the area’s green space. The Trust works with local governments and volunteers to manage its public nature areas in Fayette County. Every year, about 30,000 people use SCT nature areas. Flat Creek Nature Area in Peachtree City is a 513-acre wetland that extends 3.5 miles along Flat Creek, from the Lake Peachtree spillway downstream to Highway 74. There is a mulch trail as well as a 1,200-foot boardwalk with two viewing platforms and benches. The boardwalk is surrounded by trees Continued on page 10 G G“Like us” on the Guide and the Peachtree City App facebook pages

and plants typical of a Piedmont forested wetlandâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;red maples, chestnut oak, American hornbeam, Black Tupelo, turtlehead ferns and cardinal flowers. Line Creek Nature Area, a 70-acre preserve along Line Creek on the Fayette/Coweta county line, features an upland hardwood forest, granite outcroppings, and a rushing stream bordered by native azaleas. There is a fishing dock on a small pond, a gazebo, and several miles of nature trails. Local Boy Scouts and members of the Peachtree City Rotary Club helped furnish the park with picnic tables, small bridges, a rock amphitheater, and a kiosk. Morgan Grove Nature Area, a serene 60-acre logged hardwood forest and wetland habitat, is near the Flint River in east Fayette County. Donated to SCT by Brent Scarborough and Buford Chandler, the preserve is undergoing both natural forest regeneration and active management. Visitors can experience its lush beauty through a network of nature trails and an observation deck over the wetlands. A meadow of tall grasses and wildflowers is the ideal habitat for birds and other native wildlife. Sams Lake Bird Sanctuary was donated to SCT by the Ferrol and Helen Sams family. The 56-acre site south of Fayetteville is a drained lakebed in the process of reverting to a natural meadow.

Sams Lake attracts many visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;human and wild. Beavers have constructed dams there, and a large flock of wild turkeys have taken up residence. Visitors also have seen egrets, herons, hawks, deer, muskrats and armadillos. SCT needs volunteers at the nature centers with clerical work and at educational and fundraising events. Leave a message at 770486-7774 or go to sctlandtrust.org to find out more.

MULTI-USE PATH SYSTEM IS SOMEWHAT FAMOUS

erhaps more than anything, Peachtree City is known for its network of paved multi-use paths that crisscross the city from one end to another. What started out as a way for residents to drive their golf carts to the newly built Flat Creek Golf Course back in the late 1960s has become a way of life. With more than 100 miles of multi-use path winding its way through more than 4,131 acres of dedicated green space, you can get nearly anywhere you want to go via the paths.

Recreation & Nature

Photo by Dan Nelson

People walk, run, bike, skate, and of course, drive golf carts on the paths. You will find golf carts parked at pools, parks, the library, banks, restaurants and shopping areas. In fact, many shopping areas even have designated golf cart parking places. Besides being a means to reach a destination, the paths are also the focal point, or even the reason, for many events and celebrations. Flags, banners, and streamers wave from carts as residents

travel the paths to 4th of July parades, festivities, and the best fireworks in the area. At December’s Hometown Holiday, a parade of golf carts follows Santa on the Trail of Lights from The Fred to Drake Field. Even Halloween takes on a new twist with streets jammed with golf carts, decorated with spider webs and string lights, taking kids Trick or Treating. The expansive network of paths also provides a means for a number of big

sporting events in town as thousands run in the DIVA Half Marathon and 5K, the Annual Peachtree City Classic, and more. The Grand Prix race series, which benefits local schools, supports several hundred runners on Saturday mornings scattered throughout the school year. The path system in Peachtree City is somewhat famous—it is also an integral part of a Peachtree City citizen’s daily life. Gg

Cheap Trick, The B52s, Blake Shelton, Gladys Knight, the Beach Boys, and the Steve Miller Band as well as respected tribute bands like Departure, a Journey Tribute Band and The Purple Experience, a Tribute to Prince. The 2,500-seat amphitheater includes lawn seating, a picnic table area, and a Gold Section of tables at the foot of the stage that are decorated with tablecloths, candles, and flowers by happy season ticket holders. Bring your own picnic basket and cooler or purchase food and drink from The Fred’s restaurant vendor. Whether you dance in the aisles or on the dance floor stage right, The Fred is a fun, live entertainment venue. Southern Ground Amphitheater Grand Funk Railroad, Little River Band, Charlie Daniels Band, Wynonna, Blood Sweat and Tears, the Four Tops, Clint Black, The Temptations, and the Atlanta Rhythm Section are just a few of the national acts that have rocked the stage at Southern Ground Amphitheater in Fayetteville. Named Southern Ground through a partnership with Fayette County resident and Grammy-winning musician Zac Brown, the amphitheater is the stage for the Zac Brown Band’s annual concert to benefit Brown’s Fayette County based Camp Southern Ground for kids. The entertainment venue also offers free local concerts and free family film nights, all under the stars. Situated in a corner of a Fayetteville neighborhood in the heart of the historic Main Street District, the 1,500-seat amphitheater with its 50-foot stage and natural-grass, tiered seating is owned by the Fayetteville Downtown Development Authority and managed by the Main Street Tourism Association. All in all, Southern Ground Amphitheater is a great place to spend a warm Georgia evening under the stars.

Fayette and Coweta are the scene of two of the highest profile entities in the business. “The Walking Dead,” one of the most watched shows on cable television, has been based in Senoia for seven seasons. In its three-year existence, Pinewood Atlanta Studios has put movie production in Fayette on the map with a Disney/Marvel output that includes “Ant Man,” “Captain America: Civil War,” “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2,” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Pinewood also was the home studio of the $120 million, 2016 Sony Pictures romantic, science fiction thriller “Passengers” with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Local entrepreneurs have recognized that film location tourism is a good business. The Southern Hollywood Film Tour van travels the backroads to see filming locations in Peachtree City, Senoia and Haralson for “Fried Green Tomatoes,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” “The Walking Dead,” and numerous other productions.

WE HAVE IT ALL! Thirty years ago there were limited shopping opportunities in Coweta and Fayette counties. In fact, for any major shopping most of us drove to Atlanta or outside this two-county area. Today, there is a wealth of shopping—high-end shopping malls, quaint main street and downtown shopping, and specialty markets—everything from the most popular national chains to locally owned boutiques. The Avenue and Ashley Park National chains have come to Coweta and Fayette counties offering a diverse selection of high end goods and name brands. Particularly notable are two outdoor shopping malls, The Avenue in Peachtree City and Ashley Park in Newnan. Built in phases from 2001 to 2004, The Avenue is a destination

WORLD CLASS JAZZ

IN PEACHTREE CITY AND NEWNAN

f you love Jazz, you don’t have to go any farther than Fayette or Coweta counties. In fact, two of our top local performers, Toni Byrd, jazz vocalist, and Neal Wauchope, jazz pianist, were asked to perform at the White House this past Christmas season. It is said that it is a lot about who you know and who knows you. But that also implies that your body of work must be recognized by your peers. So, it was in this case when James Andrews a noted gospel pianist who lives in Atlanta was asked to invite a vocalist, and a pianist to perform at the White House in December. Toni and Neal performed in the main entrance hall for the public who were taking the White House Tour. Neal played the Steinway piano, positioned under a painting of George Bush, that had been donated to the White House in 1932. The old piano showed a little wear and tear as Neal found a broken “hi C” on the keyboard. In a humorous manner, he left a note on the piano for the incoming President Trump which said, “Welcome to the White House President Trump! Please make this piano great again!”

Local musicians, Vocalist Toni Byrd with Neal Wauchope on piano, perform at White House

REAL ESTATE ON THE MOVE By Jeff Warlick

he past year has been an interesting one for real estate in this area. Both Fayette and Coweta counties have favored well as property values continue to increase and buyers are finding this area to be attractive. The active market for homes remains very healthy. As of January 18th, 2017 there are 351 homes for sale in Fayette County of which 82 are in Peachtree City. This is down somewhat from the highs seen in the late spring but the number is expected to rise as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sellingâ&#x20AC;? season begins in March. In Coweta County there are 654 homes for sale. Since Coweta County is more than twice as large as Fayette it will usually have more real estate activity. In terms of pricing, the mean listing price in Fayette County is $380,000 compared to Coweta County with a mean listing price of $281,000, a significant 35% difference in listing prices. In Peachtree City the mean listing price is $497,000. Sales in the past year have been strong for both counties. There were 1,628 sales in Fayette County at a mean selling price of $280,000 and 2,317 homes sold in Coweta County at a mean sales price of $207,000. In Peachtree City there were 608 sales at a mean sales price of $326,000. Put in a historical context the year-over-year price change in Fayette County was a 4% increase compared to a significant 9% increase from 2015 prices in Coweta County. CE A

Real estate prices in this area are close to being at the level before the market collapsed. As measured by the Case-Shiller home price index, the high mark was hit in September 2007 when the index was 135.5 for the Atlanta area. The low was experienced in March 2012 when the index fell to 82.5, a whopping 40% decline that many in this area remember all too well. The latest index was reported to be 133.5 for October 2016, only 1.5% below the high as recorded in the Case-Shiller index. On a more local note, home prices in the two county area have risen by 43% over the past 5 years. New home sales are having an impact in both counties. In Fayette County 10% of sales were attributed to new homes. In sharp contrast the number of new home sales in Coweta County was 20% of the total sales. Coweta County is experiencing more than twice the number of new homes being constructed. This may change somewhat in 2017 with the new developments being constructed in Fayetteville and Peachtree City. What can we expect for 2017? Change in many ways seems to be in the financial and real estate environment. At this point, it appears that the Federal Reserve will continue with its plans to raise short-term rates two or three times over the next year. Long-term rates have already been impacted by economic expectations and the result has been an increase in mortgage interest rates. As of

January 2017, mortgage interest rates were in the low 4% range. If rates go up by 50 basis points (one-half percent) it will have an impact on borrower’s ability to purchase a home by approximately 5%. This will likely have an impact on value appreciation. Home prices are expected to be more stable and increase 3.2% in this area according to Zillow. Although interest rates may rise, the

availability of credit is likely to improve. Regulations affecting the banking industry impacted loan funds available for many credit worthy potential buyers. This unintended consequence has been assimilated by the banking system over the past few years. New lending approaches have been created and credit to responsible borrowers is more available.

new homes being constructed to increase. Many buyers, particularly younger ones, tend to prefer new homes. In a new home they can have all the features they prefer without having to do any renovations or improvements (perhaps we should call that the HGTV effect). As a result, sellers of existing homes can expect strong competition from new homes. Millennials are expected to become a larger part of the buyer market. Many of those born between the early 1980s and late 1990s are expected to buy a first home in 2017 according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The NAR projects that a significant number of millennials have saved the down payment and are now ready to settle into a home of their own. Advice to those entering the real estate market in the coming year includes diligence, discipline, and determination. Buyers will be doing substantial research before buying. The days of the card files and agent-only databases have given way to transparency in the real estate market. Most buyers will become quickly informed concerning the local market with a few clicks of the computer. Sellers need to understand that buyers often have insights into the market they may not necessarily have. Although few sellers are willing to preview their competition, in the search process buyers will often visit 10 or more homes and preview dozens more on the Internet. As a result buyers will have first hand knowledge of relative value and features. It will be more important than ever that buyers and sellers consider using professionals to assist them in their real estate transaction. More than one buyer or seller have found that what they didn’t know can hurt them. Contact a REALTOR and discuss with them your goals. They will provide you advice and assistance to enjoy a successful home buying or selling experience. • Jeff Warlick is a Past President of the Fayette County Board of Realtors, a real estate broker and real estate company owner.

Real Estate & Home Top 5 Reasons You Need a Real Estate Agent

or most people, the purchase of a house is the single largest business transaction that they will make in their lives. Their house will become the single largest asset that they will own. It stands to reason that buyers need to be as informed as possible before purchasing a new home. With today’s tech-savvy, internet users living in a “do-it-yourself” world, it looks like buying a house should be simple. No doubt that some of this “For Sale By Owner” group will save a few dollars on buying a house. However, the purchase of a house does not always go smoothly. EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE – To get the privilege of representing a major real estate organization, your realtor must study and pass multiple tests, including those required by the state and by the company itself. Clients benefit from this wealth of knowledge. LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWLEDGE – Unless you already live in the area where you intend to buy a house, there are probably a lot of unknowns concerning the area. You are sure to find many photos online of the house, but what about the neighborhood and subdivisions surrounding the house? What about the quality of schools in the area and the availability of churches and social organizations? A real estate agent can help you obtain all of this information. LEGAL AND FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE – Seldom does a buyer purchase a house with a check for the full amount. Generally, the realtor can be helpful in locating attorneys that specialize in real estate and mortgage lenders that play an important part in the buying equation. Realtors also can advise on special language in a contract that needs to be addressed or avoided. PRICE & MARKET GUIDANCE – Prices for houses are always moving up or down. Real estate agents are in the local market all year long and have the experience to give a buyer or seller valuable advice on what price will be able to “move” a sale, or “close” a deal. Either way they can help both the seller and the buyer. NEGOTIATION ABILITY – Most people G are not experienced in negotiating the sale

Real Estate & Home Staging Your Home: Is It Necessary? Tamara Bourne Team’s Role in Staging Tamara Bourne has been staging professionally for over 25 years. With tons of experience under the team’s belt, they have implemented some great results in home sales. The team will not only create a new landscape but connect you with local vendors that will help make the process that much smoother. If the home is vacant they will bring in staging ideas to freshen up the look and make it appear more welcoming to the buyers. If the home is occupied, they will help guide you on ways to declutter and arrange your furniture to help the flow of the room.

Why the Tamara Bourne Team is committed to staging.

urb appeal now starts on the internet. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) estimates that more than 90% of people shop on the internet for their next home. This is where first impressions are made and you only have one chance for your first impression to be memorable. If your home is not staged and viewed with professional pictures taken, your home will be passed over with a click of a mouse. Staging Staging your home is preparing your home so the buyer can mentally move in. By staging your home we are engaging the buyer emotionally to feel “this is it”! As a complimentary service to our clients, our team will guide you every step of the way with our expertise to help take out the stress of preparing and selling your home. We will walk you through the process. This is our daily full time career and we stage over one hundred homes annually. We call preparing your home the 3 D’s - Declutter, Depersonalize and Detach. We create desirability! Three Main Reasons to Stage 1) You will make more money 2) Your home will sell faster 3) Your online photos will stand out. Nine out of ten view online photos first before personally viewing a home. The old logic of Location, Location, Location has now become Price, Condition and Location. Homes staged before listing sell 90% faster! (2016 RESA Final Home Staging Statistics Report.)

Our Mission: The Tamara Bourne Team’s objective is to get your home from “For Sale” to “Sold” for the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time, making the seller and buyer extremely happy with the end results. We proudly provide staging as a “must” part of our listing services included in the selling of your home. We work in concert as a team to achieve the best possible outcome in preparing your home for sale. Staging Tips 1) Create curb appeal- We readily have our vendors available for powerwashing, yard grooming, deck staining and shutter painting. 2) Clean the kitchen and bath until they sparkle. Declutter so we can stage. Paint outdated cabinets or change out knobs. 3) Professionally clean or replace carpet. Shine floors. May require rebuffing hardwoods. 4) Clean walls or paint an updated neutral color. Take down curtains. 5) Clean air ducts/return vents by vacuuming or painting with white metal paint. 6) Clean and dust ceiling fans, cobwebs (inside and out) wipe down all light switches and cover plates with soap and water, windex and clorox wipes are also good. 7) Organize closets to make sure floor is clear. Fold towels and clothes neatly. 8) Disinfect wash machines. Fresh plug-ins throughout home. 9) Rearrange furniture away from walls so that airflow is completely around. Give rooms a purposeful space, no random furniture storage. Blinds should be open. 10) White or light bedding. Good time to pack extra toys, knick knacks, personal pictures and keepsakes. 11) Important! No pet odors or evidence of pets. Use plug ins and discreetly hide pet dishes, as well as litter boxes.

DRONES HELP REAL ESTATE

SALES SOAR!

ales of homes are soaring with the use of professionally produced aerial videos. In fact, homes marketed with aerial photography and video sell 68% faster, as reported by Multiple Listing Service, and the National Association of Realtors report that 73% of homeowners prefer to list with an agent who uses videos. Initially, drone aerial photography was only considered as an option for multimillion dollar listings, but real estate agents are discovering that the benefits reach beyond luxury listings. Today, aerial photography offers affordable aerial perspectives of homes and neighborhoods to enhance the indoor tour experience. Tom Black, owner of Overview 3sixty Aerials, said, “over the past 2 years, approximately 20% of the listings that were filmed have been million dollar listings, 50% have been between $500,000 to $900,00 and 30% have been under $500,000. The sky is the limit with aerial photography.” Drone photography fills a void between traditional ground photography and aerial photographs taken from a plane or other aircraft.

“I want to read!” These diversity and 100% college acceptance to date are familiar words to hear from little people, and Rotarians are at work to ensure that children can read. Three years ago the Rotary Club of Peachtree City initiated a grant providing SOUNS materials to 103 Head Start classrooms in the South West Georgia Community Action Council (SWGACAC) program. While each year of the project has celebrated good results, this year’s results for letter-sound knowledge - the focus of this hands-on early literacy program - confirm the project is making a lasting difference.

Education

Higher Education

ayette and Coweta counties have many educational options for everyone with institutions of higher learning located throughout the area. Clayton State University, a public university and part of the University System of Georgia, has a campus in Peachtree City which offers 5 degree programs: the B.S. in Psychology and Human Services, B.S. in Integrative Studies, the B.A.S. in Administrative Management, the R.N. to B.S.N. online program, and the M.B.A. degree program. Students not enrolled in these majors may still complete their general education core curriculum in Fayette or take upper division courses that fit with their chosen major. With the opening of its second campus in the area, Georgia Military College makes it easier than ever for Fayette and Coweta county residents to earn an associates degree in its two-year liberal arts program. GMC’s 25,000-square foot campus, located adjacent to Pinewood Atlanta Studios, is GMC’s newest and the only postsecondary educational facility in

Fayetteville. In addition to the coursework available at the other GMC campuses, Fayetteville’s campus will develop courses to educate the area workforce for the many positions available in Georgia’s film industry. A second GMC campus is located in historic Fairburn, just 20 minutes from Newnan and Peachtree City. Students can complete courses towards their associate’s degree at GMC as well as use many of those credits to transfer to a four-year university. High school juniors and seniors, who are on track for graduation and meet the requirements, can take college courses at GMC while continuing their high school studies. Founded in 1937, Point University is a private, Christian, four-year liberal arts institution. The University’s curriculum currently offers majors in areas of study, ranging from biblical studies to biology. Its 13,000-square-foot satellite facility in Peachtree City opened in 2009 and offers degrees through its Access program for adult learners, core curriculum for traditional students, and dual credit enrollment courses for high school students.

Located in the old historic Newnan Hospital, The University of West Georgia Newnan has been in operation in Coweta County since 1988, and undergraduate enrollment has more than quadrupled over the past ten years. Coweta County students account for 40% of UWG Newnan’s enrollment. UWG Newnan offers day and evening core curriculum classes, face-toface (and online through USG eCore). UWG Newnan also offers two full undergraduate degree programs—Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education and Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The undergraduate nursing program has grown so rapidly that expansion of both facilities and faculty has become necessary. The Master of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Education in Nursing are offered 95% online. Graduate degree programs offered at UWG Newnan include M.Ed. and Ed.S. in Early Childhood Education and Master’s in Business Administration. For a complete listing of higher education opportunities in Coweta and Fayette counties, see page 56.

Working with Business B

oth Coweta and Fayette school systems have established programs that partner local business, industry and technical schools with the school system to provide high school students with high quality, stateof-the art career and technical training as well as a ready work force for the business community. Coweta’s Central Education Center (CEC) is a joint venture between business and industry, the Coweta County School System, and West Georgia Technical College. At CEC, curriculum is designed around the needs and expectations of business. Students at CEC voluntarily enroll from all the county’s high schools. Students can enroll in dual credit courses, known as Move On When Ready (MOWR), as early as age 16, simultaneously earning credit toward a high school diploma and a West Georgia Technical College associate degree.

courses provide opportunities for high school students to take college-level courses and earn credits toward a high school diploma and a college degree during the school day. Included in the list of available courses are accounting, cosmetology, culinary arts and game development. Work-Based Learning (WBL) is an opportunity for students to link their classwork and career interests with their job. They leave school during their assigned WBL block/s and receive class credit for their work and WBL assignments. It is available for one or two blocks per semester. Focused Areas of WBL include job/internship/ apprenticeship opportunities in all career areas. The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department of Fayette County Schools has a clear goal—to prepare students in high school for college and careers. Continued G Gtop next page Gfacebook G apps

Education Fayette’s MOWR program allows students to pursue post secondary study at approved public and private colleges and technical colleges while receiving dual high school and college credit for courses successfully completed. Fayette County’s work-based learning and apprenticeship programs offer students an opportunity to gain skills in a workplace setting to enhance the student’s academic and future career goals. At CTE’s Center of Innovation (COI) in Fayetteville, students can participate in various programs developed through CTE’s educational and business partnerships. COI partners include Southern Crescent Technical College, which offers dual enrolled courses to Fayette County students at the COI in Patient Care Essentials and Emergency Medical Responder and at Sandy Creek High School in Culinary Arts. Another partner, Piedmont Fayette Hospital, has donated hospital beds and supplies to county high schools and the COI to be used by high school students in Fayette County who are interested in health care careers. CEC and CTE’s mission of providing students with career development opportunities and preparing a workforce for the business community is a win-win for all involved.

Preparing for a Career in Film

ith Georgia ranked third in film production in the United States and Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County recognized as the largest film studio in the nation outside of Los Angeles, it is only logical that more and more opportunities for careers in the film industry would become available to Fayette and Coweta county residents. Started in January 2016, the Georgia Film Academy (GFA) offers an 18-credit hour certification program specifically designed to provide students with a basic level of on-set film production skills, knowledge and experience with film-industry standard organizational structure, professional equipment, and on-set procedures. GFA courses are being taught at Clayton State University and at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayetteville as well as a number of universities and technical colleges around the state. GFA, which trained more than 800 students in its first year of operation, prepares students for jobs in art (set dressers and props); hair, makeup, and wardrobe; sound (mixer, boom operator, utility); camera (operator, camera assistants); electric (on-set lamp operators); grip (on-set, dolly grip); locations; craft services; script supervision; video assist; and set and office production assistance. GFA students have interned on numerous film and television productions in the state, including G “The Walking Dead,” “Spiderman,” “MacGuyyer”

and “Life of the Party” with Melissa McCarthy. In partnership with GFA, Clayton State University also offers a 2-year, 60-credit Associate of Arts in Film Production program that includes the 18-credit GFA Certification. Clayton State University’s Department of Visual and Performing Arts recently instituted a new Bachelor of Arts program in Film Production on the school’s main campus 45 minutes from Fayette and Coweta in Morrow. The Bachelor of Arts degree in Film Production emphasizes post-production to prepare students for careers in the professional film industry. In this program, students attain skills in areas, such as storytelling, compositing, editing, special effects, motion graphics, and sound effects. Students are also introduced to the pre-production and production facets of film production so that they understand the entire filmmaking process. Georgia-lensed feature film and television productions generated an economic impact of more than $7 billion during fiscal year 2016. The 245 feature film and television productions shot in Georgia represent $2.02 billion in direct spending in the state. Industry growth over the next few years is projected to generate 3,000 - 5,000 new jobs in Georgia, most of which are on the set. The average earnings in these jobs are $84,000 a year.

TWO ACTIVE CHAMBERS Coweta and Fayette Coweta and Fayette counties are fortunate to have very active chambers of commerce. Besides traditional ribbon cuttings for new businesses and annual dinners to celebrate successes and award deserving members, each chamber holds numerous events and educational programs throughout the year that benefit member businesses and advance their working relationship with government officials and members of the community.

Candace Boothby, Newnan–Coweta Chamber President and CEO

Newnan-Coweta Chamber At 68 years old, the Newnan-Coweta Chamber is comprised of more than 1,000 member companies. Boasting a record of strong results over the years, it ranks in the TOP 1% of chambers nationally and is a 5-Star Accredited Chamber. To put that into perspective, there are more than 7,000 chambers in the United States with only 207 of these chambers accredited and only 95 recognized as 5-Star. It is also the only chamber in Georgia to be named a National Chamber of the Year (2015). NewnanCoweta Chamber programs and activities are known for the highest level of excellence and for proactively meeting the needs of its members and the community. Newnan-Coweta has been hosting the Small Business Awards and Celebration since 2012 with networking, a panel discussion, yearly award winner and party.

Peachtree City Convention & Visitors Bureau Moves to The Avenue!

ooking to raise its visibility, the Peachtree City Convention and Visitors Bureau has relocated its Visitors Center to the The Avenue where it will be much more accessible to residents and visitors. Located right above Thai Spice in The Avenue’s office area, the space has been designed specifically for displays that tell the story of what to do, where to dine, and where to stay in Peachtree City. “We loved our beautiful building in the McIntosh Trail Recreation Complex,” says Jennifer Johnson, Executive Director of the CVB, “but we felt like it was very hard for customers to find. It made sense for us to relocate to a place more suited for visitation.

PIEDMONT FAYETTE MAKES A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE

wenty years ago, construction for Fayette County’s first hospital was underway and headed towards an opening date in September. There were some in the area who argued that there would not be enough need for a hospital and that it would never be busy enough to justify its existence. This spring, Piedmont Fayette Hospital will complete its third major expansion. The hospital is now licensed for 221 beds, all of the patient rooms will be private rooms, and the emergency department, one of the busiest in the Piedmont system, will have doubled in size. “Back in 2002, we were doing some strategic planning for the hospital,” said Piedmont Fayette CEO Michael Burnett.

“We knew we wanted to be able to deliver babies here, we wanted to provide oncology services, have a cath lab for heart patients, expand our intensive care unit and offer ambulatory surgery. We’ve done all of those things in the last 15 years. We had 5,000 admissions a year back then and now we have over 16,000 admissions a year. We’ve had growth, year over year.” One of the reasons for the growth is because Piedmont Fayette has become more of a regional medical center than a community hospital. The majority of the patients that come to Piedmont Fayette are coming from outside of Fayette County. Many come from neighboring counties like Coweta and Clayton, but the hospital also

sees patients from Fulton, Spalding and Upson counties and sometimes even as far as Macon. The wide variety of programs that Piedmont Fayette offers and the award-winning, high quality service that the hospital provides are a major draw for citizens from all over the south metro area. In recent years, Piedmont Fayette has strengthened many of its programs. One of the biggest additions was a partnership with M.D. Anderson, a leader in cancer care. Patients can get the exact same clinical care at Piedmont Fayette that they would get at M.D. Anderson in Houston, while also benefitting from the expertise of those doctors. Piedmont Fayette has also strengthened its cardiovascular program. A

third cath lab will open this spring and the hospital is launching an electrophysiology department so that area residents who need pacemakers or other ICDs (implantable cardioverter-defibrillators) can have those procedures performed here. Last September, the Women’s Services department marked its 10th anniversary at the hospital. They have delivered over 20,000 babies since its inception and now regularly deliver over 2,500 babies each year. Piedmont Fayette also offers a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which means that it can care for babies born at less than 32 weeks gestation, as well as babies born with critical illness. “At one point, several years ago, we had eight, one-pound babies in the NICU at one time and within three months they were all healthy enough to go home,” Burnett said. Last year, the Women’s Services CE A

department also added a second breast surgeon and the southside’s only gynecological oncologist. Piedmont Fayette sees more stroke patients than any other hospital in the Piedmont system. The hospital has been a Primary Stroke Center for the past five years and now has two neurohospitalists on staff. Thanks to the work of the stroke team and emergency services, Piedmont Fayette delivers quick responses to stroke and this often leads to better outcomes. The use of emergency services is where a lot of the hospital’s growth can be seen. Two years ago, Piedmont Fayette had 61,000 visits to the emergency department. That number is expected to pass 75,000 this year. That kind of rapid growth made the 130,000 square foot expansion at the hospital necessary, but it is because of the tremendous care that Piedmont Fayette offers that the expansion was possible.

Piedmont Fayette has been named one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades for a third straight year. Late in 2016, the hospital was also named the Large Hospital of the Year by the Georgia Alliance for Community Hospitals. Those distinctions are just a few that the hospital has earned since its inception and they are based on excellent clinical outcomes and a proven dedication to the community and its health and well-being. “Piedmont Fayette strives to make a positive difference in every life we touch,” said Burnett. “That means every patient, visitor and guest of the hospital, but it also includes every staff member and volunteer. I think a major reason for our success and growth is because we take that mission very seriously. I’m eager to see what we will accomplish over the next 20 years as we continue with that goal in mind.”

Helping a camper on the zip line at Camp Southern Ground

Volunteers in Action

A Passion Project for Award-Winning Musician, Zac Brown: creating unforgetable outdoor experiences for children of all abilities

urrently in development, Camp Southern Ground is the passion project of GRAMMY-award winning musician Zac Brown. The inspiration for his vision is his own experience as a camper, counselor and staff member at camps in North Georgia as teenager. More than the typical camp experience, at Camp Southern Ground children and families will Live and Love What They Learn. The state-of-the-art campus will have activities to challenge, educate, and inspire our campers, with a special emphasis on children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), learning and attention issues, social or emotional challenges, and those with family members serving in the military.

2016 was a year of great progress.

Two major buildings have been added to the 400-plus acre campus in Fayetteville. Peterson Dining Hall, the centerpiece of Camp Southern Ground, and the reveal of the “Space Crab” treehouse on Animal Planet’s Treehouse Masters were completed and used for a fundraiser and a corporate retreat. The camp leases its facilities to corporations and organizations to help offset operational costs of the camp. The 2016 Fall Weekend Adventure Camps celebrated their second year. 280 campers attended the camp over five weekends. Their time was filled with music, mining, archery, baking, drum rhythms, high ropes and zip lines. Check the website for the opening of registration of the Fall camps beginning in May.

he mission of the Midwest Food Bank is to gather food in large quantities and to distribute the food to nonprofit organizations and to provide disaster relief freeof-charge to all recipients. The Georgia Division opened in Peachtree City just 5 years ago and they served 9 local food pantries by giving them 545 cases of food that first year. In 2016 the Georgia Division gave away a record breaking $12 million dollars’ worth of food, and they served 288 non-profits organizations from 44 different countries in 5 states! Over 36,000 cases of food were given away. Distribution of this much food requires large numbers of volunteers. These volunteers come from churches, service organizations, youth groups and individuals. In 2016, over 3,800 different people volunteered over 32,000 hours. Volunteers do most of the work and receive the blessing of knowing that they are helping to feed hungry people.

Volunteers in Action CHAIR-ITY EVENT CELEBRATES 10 YEARS!

Left: Each year, artist, Vicki Turner contributes her time and painting skills for the Chair-ity Event! Below: Ed Richardson makes a bid at the Chair-ity Event auction.

elebrating its 10th year anniversary, the Annual Chair-ity Event, benefitting The Children’s Village at Christian City, brought in a record-setting total of $200,000. The event, which features dozens of unique chairs decorated and donated by local artists for its silent auction, supports the ongoing needs of the abandoned, abused, and neglected children who now live safely at The Children’s Village. The event’s huge silent auction featured the uniquely crafted and painted chairs as well as gifts, such as getaway trips and themed baskets, donated by local businesses. For the first time this year, a live auction was added to the event. Packages ranged from a Big Green Egg and Beretta shotgun to a weekend stay at a north Georgia cabin, a seven-night resort vacation, and an acoustic guitar signed by Zac Brown. The Chair-ity Event, which took place December 1, 2016, was held at the Crowne Plaza in Peachtree City. At the conclusion of the event, there was raffle drawing for a new Q50 car provided by Infiniti of South Atlanta. The raffle was hosted by south side Rotary Clubs. George Franco, Fox 5 Atlanta news reporter, served as emcee and auctioneer at the event. Jazz vocalist Toni Byrd and the

Rick Massengale Jazz Trio provided musical entertainment as guests shopped the silent auction. The history of the Chair-ity Event began in 2007 when Belinda and Craig Fitch, who had just purchased the Hollingsworth House in downtown Fayetteville, were looking for a way to jumpstart their special events business. The Fitches wanted to find a way to help Christian City and suggested to the organization that they host an open house. The first event become known as The Hollingsworth House Event. Guests enjoyed food and music by the Southern Nights Chorale. Volunteers from the Dickens Village at Heritage Christian Church dressed in period costumes. Admission was free, but a big oversized stocking was hung and guests were invited to put a donation in the stocking. The event raised $2,500 raised. The next year financial sponsors were added; and in 2010, the idea of the painted chairs was suggested. Janet Dunn, who is well known in the art community for her pottery, organized the artists.

Volunteers in Action Popular local artists Vicki Turner and Patsy Gullet gave their time and skills to the project as well as 25 others. The Children’s Village at Christian City offers life services and a safe haven for children in crisis, ages 5-17. Often, these children are victims of abuse, neglect and/or abandonment. Christian City’s commitment is to minister to the needs of the children and their families by bringing about a healthy reunification. In circumstances where reunification is not possible, its goal is to provide a safe and loving home environment where they can feel nurtured.

GIVING CHILDREN HOPE IS IMPORTANT TO JANET McGREGOR DUNN

ven before she became a volunteer for the first annual Chairity fundraising event in 2007, local artist Janet McGregor Dunn had a heart for the ministries of Christian City. She first saw the campus as a child when her family drove by Christian City on the way to her grandmother’s home. Later, she connected with Christian City through the former CEO, Bob Crutchfield. “Bob impressed me with his compassion, his concern for those who live at Christian City, and his strength of character,” Janet says. Now, she loves the mission of Christian City Children’s Village – giving children hope. “I know how much good Christian City does for so many, and I love seeing the results,” Janet says. She has met some of the children who have spent their entire childhoods at The Children’s Village, and talked with numerous house parents over the years and seen their commitment. “I have gotten to know the staff and seen their dedication, how hard they work, and how much they give,” says Janet. “I support Christian City because of all those reasons and more!” In fact, Janet’s volunteer work on the event committee and coordination of the artists who donate to the auction has been central to the success of Chair-ity over the past ten years. Len Romano, President and CEO of Christian City, expressed his gratitude saying, “We could not accomplish fundraising events like Chair-ity without the leadership of volunteers like Janet McGregor Dunn,” Romano says. “Christian City is richly blessed with caring people who have a heart for helping children through our ministries,” he says. Janet’s love for Christian City has now spilled over to her family as well. “A number of years ago, when we were trying to figure out what to get my parents for Christmas, I suggested that we make a donation to the Children’s Village in their honor. It turned out to be a great idea that was meaningful to the whole family. Now, my two brothers, two sisters, and my son all chip in for an annual donation in my parents’ honor,” says Janet. Her sister now makes a separate donation on her own as well.

About Christian City Christian City’s first cottage for abused and abandoned children opened on Valentine’s Day in 1965. Today, there are almost 1,000 residents living on the Christian City campus in south metro Atlanta, which has grown to more than 500 acres and now includes a full continuum of care for senior adults. In addition to the Christian City Children’s Village, the campus includes affordable retirement homes for seniors, subsidized apartments for seniors on limited incomes, a thrift store, an assisted living center, skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, and an Alzheimer’s and dementia specialty unit. Pharmacy services, home health, and hospice care are also available. Christian City is located on the southwest side of Atlanta G between Fairburn and Fayetteville.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY building houses for people in need

abitat for Humanity’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat works toward this vision by building strength, stability and self-reliance in partnership with people and families in need of a decent and affordable home. This global, nonprofit housing organization works in nearly 1,400 communities across the United States—including Coweta County—and in approximately 70 countries around the world. Newnan-Coweta Habitat for Humanity, Inc. offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups in the area. People can volunteer locally or travel and build. You can volunteer long-term, as part of a special event, or as part of a group or organization. By taking part in a Adopt-A-Home project, an organization raises money to finance a Habitat home and builds that home in partnership with the family who will purchase it. All participation in Habitat is challenging, rewarding and makes a real and lasting positive impact on the community. People who are on the receiving end of a home build, known as family partners, work diligently to build their own homes, with over 300 hours of “Sweat Equity” invested in construction and working in the ReStore—a Habitat for Humanity nonprofit home improvement store and donation center that sells new and gently used furniture, home accessories, building materials and appliances to the public at a fraction of the retail price. The Coweta-Newnan ReStore also has plenty of volunteer opportunities. Helping hands are always needed in customer service, donation processing, furniture and appliance repairs, electrical testing, stocking shelves, and donation pickup and delivery. Volunteers are needed at the ReStore Wednesday through Saturday, 9am to 1pm and 1pm to 5pm. Volunteer orientations are the best way to get started volunteering with Habitat. Volunteers must be 16 years or older. Registration is encouraged. Newnan-Coweta Habitat for Humanity, 150 Pine Rd.; Newnan 770-252-9049 • nchfh.org
