Locals Paulo Manso de Sousa, Artistic Director and Will Slay, General Manager of Southern Arc Dance in Newnan, will enter items such as antique dance theatre costumes in the upcoming “Trash or Treasure” event to find out the worth of the items.

USMC/BRYAN PETERSON

Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, here with U.S. Marines in Italy in 2015, said visiting with troops overseas was one of the highlights of his career.

Westmoreland reflects on 24 years in politics Legislative career began with homework help “One person can make a difference if they are willing to say something. So I started taking the opportunity to be that person.”

tics has got to have some type of ego,” he said. “I thought, maybe this is your ego wanting you to do it rather than you really wanting to do it.”

When Westmoreland was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives back in 1992, he never could have imagined how long he would be in politics, and that it would take him to D.C. for 12 years.

“Politics just wasn’t something I ever dreamed myself doing. I love building. I love carpentry and that’s what I wanted to do. The next thing I knew, I was in politics.”

“I would never take anything for the great peo-

In the five months since he retired from his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, Cowetan Lynn Westmoreland has been spending time with his children and grandchildren and his wife Joan, playing some golf and working as a political consultant.

After 24 years in politics, retirement has been very pleasant indeed.

“Why would I want to run for governor other than some type of ego trip?” Westmoreland said recenty, as he and his wife enjoyed an impromptu vacation.

“I’ve never really considered myself to have a big ego, though I think everybody that is in poli-

Senoia man leads group to run 8 half-marathons

formed the lives of 300 veterans and their families at no charge. This 12-week, comprehensive rehabilitation program provides treatment for post-9/11 veterans who have sustained mild to moderate TBI and PTSD. Over the course of eight consecutive days, the men ran eight half-marathons, a distance of approximately 22 kilometers each day, or 13.5 miles.

The men ran while wearing 22-pound flak jackets, symbolizing the number of deaths by suicide of U.S. veterans every day. Additionally, for two days, the men carried 93 pounds in honor of the civilians of Flight 93 who gave their lives on 9/11.

“We run to share the burden our veterans carry every day as a result of their time in

Running long distances for days in a row, sometimes with heavy weights, is not a duty most people would volunteer for, but Senoia resident Travis Ellis found 16 friends to join him in it as a way to honor military veterans.

“For me, seeing guys go through the run was the highlight,” said Ellis, a 2017 Citizen Heroes Award recipient.

This Memorial Day, Shepherd’s Men, a 17-member team of active and former servicemen and civilians, completed a 108-mile journey in eight cities over eight days to raise funds and awareness for veterans suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Proceeds from the run went to support the Shepherd Center’s SHARE Military Initiative, a nationally acclaimed program that has trans-

WHAT’S IN

DAD’S

GARAGE?

NCHS, Newnan, Ga. The Newnan-Coweta Historical Society (NCHS) serves all of Coweta and beyond, and offers a number of community programs that are both entertaining and rich with history. Next month the society will offer an antiques appraisal event, the first of its kind in Newnan.

The special event, inspired by the popular PBS program, “Antiques Roadshow,” will be held July 15 at the Historic Train Depot on East Broad Street in downtown Newnan.

The event, “Trash or Treasure — What’s in your Attic” will will begin at 10 a.m. and will continue until 5 p.m. featuring appraisers and brief lectures on popular collection items.

Appraisers and specialists will deliver the talks and offer background information while revealing the worth of entries submitted.

Local author and historical society Executive Director Jeff Bishop noted that the event will be an opportunity to learn about many items with ties to local history.

“Coweta County has a rich and multi-layered background with folks from all walks of life, many who come from families that have been in the area for multiple generations,” Bishop said. “Inevitably there are items that have been passed down among the family lines to those who may not know the history or value of the items they now own.”

The idea for the event originated with NCHS board member Ginny Lyles who became enthralled with the history of several items she recently discovered while sorting through boxes from her own childhood home. Lyles shared her findings with NCHS President Lisa Harwell and the idea to introduce the antiques event in Newnan was born.

According to Lyles, no item is too big or small to be entered for appraisal during the event.

“As long as it can be brought to the Depot,” Lyles explained.

“No item is too expensive or too inconsequential.”

Items can include collectibles such as art, dolls, jewelry, furniture, books, textiles, comics and toys; family heirlooms; or eccentric pieces that are interesting and with no known family ties. Event coordinators are currently accepting items for review and appraisal. The deadline for submitting an entry is July 1.

Color me… what?

By ALEX MCRAE I was early for a doctor’s appointment and had to kill some time. I opened my iPhone and looked at Facebook. The first thing I saw was a “test.”

Facebook is fond of tests. They come in every size, shape, color and description.

One might say, “How smart are you? Nine out of 10 people can’t pass this (art, geography, grammar) test.” Another test claims it can tell where you were born or raised based on answers to questions like, “Do you think grits are good?”

The Facebook test I saw at the doctor’s office asked, “What color is your aura?”

I’ll admit it was something I’d never wondered about. I couldn’t wait to learn the answer. First, I had to learn what an aura was.

An online dictionary advised me that an aura was “a colored emanation said to enclose a human body or any animal or object.”

Since I’d never seen my colored emanations in person or in a mirror, I didn’t even know I had one. I couldn’t wait to see what color vibes I was putting out.

I would have been happy with green, yellow or plaid. According to Facebook, my aura is hibiscus, described by the test this way: “A creature of comfort, you love to be surrounded by luxury. Whether it’s the finest art, tastiest food, or oldest wine, you settle for nothing but the best. Despite your affection for the material world, you also have great compassion. You accept people for who they are.”

I agree that I accept people for who they are, especially if they’re losers and lowlifes.

But as for “finest art” and tastiest food,” I like cheeseburgers and velvet Elvises. My idea of luxury is a toilet that always flushes.

Besides, hibiscus isn’t a color—it’s a flower.

I wondered how Facebook could have screwed this up. I did some research and

GROUP Continued from page 1 combat,” said Ellis, co-founder of Shepherd’s Men and a member of the Shepherd Center’s board of trustees. “It is our duty and privilege as Americans to fight for our heroes and their service to our country.”

This year, the run began at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pa. After arriving in Washington D.C., the men had the opportunity to meet with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis. During the meeting, Ellis presented him with the Shepherd’s Men coin.

On Memorial Day, the men arrived back

decided the test wasn’t created by a human, but a robot.

W hen Sher win-Williams company recently decided to create some new paint colors, it didn’t hire Picasso’s brother, Bubba. It hired a computer expert who gathered technical information on existing Sherwin-Williams paint colors, fed the data into a computer and told the machine to formulate new colors.

The result was about what you’d expect if IBM had been hired to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel instead of Michelangelo.

Before it could crank out new colors, the computer had to “learn” some basic color theory, like the difference between red and green. Computer experts wrote a program to do the teaching.

The longer the computer worked, the more it learned. Soon, it could not just tell the difference between white, gray and red, it could produce formulas for mixing new shades of each color.

Creating new colors turned out to be the easy part. When it came to naming the colors, the computer was clueless. Maybe because it didn't have a soul. Or eyeballs.

New paint color names generated by the computer included Ghasty (not ghastly) Pink, Golder Craam and Corcaunitiol Orange. Really.

Once the computer was “fully trained” the results weren’t much better. New shades of gray, white and blue included Laty Pante, Droffol, and my favorite, Heemaghable Beige.

A computer expert said she wasn’t surprised at some of the names, since a computer algorithm has no concept of what a word is, much less a color.

She added that, "Human designers have an edge over the neural network in that they can recognize bad ideas when they see it."

Bad ideas like Heemaghable Beige.

And hibiscus auras.

Sometimes, Facebook is fun. Sometimes, it’s enough to make you see red.

Send your email comments to: alexmmcrae@gmail.com in Atlanta and ran to the Shepherd Center, located in downtown Atlanta. Ellis said they will continue to make the run each year in honor of veterans and to raise funds for SHARE. “This is our fourth year, and we see no reason to stop,” he said. “The program at Shepherd Center is saving lives.”

The SHARE program does not receive any funding from the U.S. Veterans Administration or state government.

Instead, the program depends on donor funding. While Shepherd’s Men raised money from the run, they will continue fundraising campaigns until December.

What to Look for in an Assisted Living Center Assisted living centers help patients continue to live an active lifestyle in comfortable, costeffective settings that offer many conveniences and amenities. People often need extra care as they age.

Some, particularly those confronting severe health challenges, need regular care that is significantly beyond the scope of what family members or close friends are able to provide. Some just need to be in an environment where someone is on hand to check on them throughout the day. Bottom line: all assisted care centers are not the same.

S

ome assisted care centers double as full-time medical facilities and assisted living centers are popular options for people who need medical attention.

In the past, longterm care could only be handled by a nursing home. Living in a hospital setting for an extended time was not a pleasant environment.

When looking for an assisted care center, consider some of these factors.

spending time in nature, look for a facility that has park-like areas.

Some centers have communitystyle gardens and walkways for residents.

Just being able to see nature as it grows and changes with the seasons can be uplifting and soothing. An assisted living center with a manicured lawn and garden can make a huge difference in the quality of life for a loved one.

GARDEN AND LANDSCAPING It’s a little known fact that the landscaping of an assisted living center will give you a good indication about the quality of the facility. Proper maintenance of the lawn and gardens is a good sign.

If the prospective resident enjoys

HOME AMENITIES Accommodations at these centers can range from luxurious, detached cottages to cozy condominiums.

It all depends on what you are looking for, what you can afford, and what is available.

As you visit the facilities, try to personalize each space. Imagine how

An assisted living center with a manicured lawn and garden can make a huge difference in the quality of life for a loved one. your loved one’s belongings might fit into the area and where decorations will be placed. Does the atmosphere bring about a feeling of peace and tranquility?

How are the rooms decorated? Are they tasteful and soothing, or do they remind you of a hospital setting?

Look at the home amenities and consider how you would feel about living there. Would you want your loved one living there? Is

the facility within your budget?

RECREATION FACILITIES Game and meeting areas can help the resident make new friends and keep them from feeling alone and lonely. Leaving the confines of their units is an important part of recovery.

Make sure the center offers activities and space to occupy your loved one’s time.

Quality facilities will have activities that match his or

her hobbies. If your family member enjoys crafts, then look for a center with a designated craft area or classes for your loved one to enjoy.

PERSONAL CARE Ask your loved one’s personal physician how much care is required to function safely. The doctor may even be able to guide you toward an appropriate facility.

Be sure to seek advice on what qualifications and certifications you need to look for in the center’s staff. The center’s employees should be well-

qualified to handle medical needs.

If you monitor the medical care, you can avoid paying for extensive services that your loved one may not need.

Understanding the care the person requires will help you find a center that is a good fit.

Choosing an assisted living facility is about finding the right combination of medical services and amenities. With research and thought, you will find the perfect place to bring comfort and care to your loved one.

Where gracious hospitality is a way of life.

WESTMORELAND Continued from page 1

people I got to work with and the awesome things that I got to do both in Georgia and around the world,” he said.

“Getting to spend times with our troops was awesome. It was the opportunity of a lifetime.”

An unexpected trajectory It started one night when Westmoreland was helping his son Trae, who was in middle school, with some social studies homework. Westmoreland was reading the textbook and was struck by how different the characterization of the United States was in his son’s book than it had been in his school books.

So he went to a Fayette County Board of Education meeting and expressed his concerns. Before too long, Mrs. Westmoreland was named to the book selection committee.

After that, whenever an issue came up, “I was like: well, one person can make a difference if they are willing to say something. So I started taking the opportunity to be that person at different meetings, for different things,” Westmoreland said.

He was surprised at school boa rd meet i ng s . “ Nobody would be there. Here is a board that looks after your kids and your money. And they’re not very well-attended.” Seeing the low level of public participation was an eye-opener.

As he beca me more a nd more involved, “I had people come up to me and say ‘Hey, you need to run for off ice, you’re not afraid to stand up and say something even if it is against the crowd.’

“I was very reluctant. But eventually, I guess I had a weak moment and said yes. And it went from there.”

He ra n for st ate sen ate against incumbent Democrat Bev Ingram, and lost. “She was a really, really nice lady. I didn’t know anything about politics.

I didn’t have a chance in the world of winning because of the makeup in the district.”

Two years later, he ran again,

and lost by a slim margin.

After redistricting following the 1990 Census, Fayette County, where Westmoreland lived at the time, was divided into two districts. Westmoreland ran for the northern seat and won.

In the House, he eventually rose to minority leader. In 2001, he filed suit over the district maps Democrats had drawn, and won.

“If you’re new to politics, you may not necessarily know Lynn’s legacy,” said State Sen. Matt Brass, R-Newnan, who previously served as Westmoreland’s chief of staff.

“He is one of the reasons that Republicans have control of both the House and the Senate, and have the governor’s office,” Brass said. “All that work he did as minority leader shouldn’t be forgotten, because the state has come a long way.”

Westmoreland stepped back from that leadership position as he geared up to run for Congress following the retirement of Congressman Mac Collins.

The 2002 race went into a runoff, and Westmoreland beat Dylan Glenn to win the Republican nomination and then the congressional seat, which he held onto easily despite frequent challengers.

West morela nd cer ta i n ly didn’t expect a concern over the tone of his son’s textbook to lead to a career in politics.

“Too ma ny ti mes, we’ve been told, ‘Well, your vote doesn’t matter.’ Or, ‘Can one person really make a difference?’” Westmoreland said.

“And then all of a sudden you go to a meeting and you’re sitting there thinking: this is nuts!

Why doesn’t anybody say anything? And you stand up and finally say something and then everybody in the room is like, ‘Yeah!’

“That encourages you,” he said. “I’ve also stood up and said something and everybody says ‘Sit down, you dumbass,’” he said with a laugh. “So it can work either way.”

PHOTO BY MELANIE BOYD/TIMES-GEORGIAN

Cowetan and former Congressman Lynn Westmoreland speaks at an event in Carroll County. He has confirmed he won’t be running for governor in 2018.

Much prayer and consideration On May 24, Westmoreland put to rest nearly 18 months of speculation on whether he would run for governor in 2018.

He issued a statement saying, in part, “After much prayer and consideration, Joan and I have decided that I will not be a candidate for governor in 2018.

While I am humbled by the kind words and encouragement that we have received from so many over the last few months, I think the best contribution that I can make to our state is outside of elected office.”

Westmoreland had seriously considered running for governor back in 2010, to replace Sonny Perdue.

“I really had the desire to do it then,” he said. But at the time he was busy working on redistricting for the National Republ ica n Cong ressiona l Committee. “I had taken that on and I felt like I needed to complete it. And I’m glad I did, because I feel like, in some ways, that’s the reason we’ve kept the majority for the last 10

years in Congress and will be able to continue it.”

Westmoreland loves Georgia. He’s not particularly fond of Washington, D.C. So the idea of getting to come home and be governor was appealing. “That would be appealing to anybody,” he said.

But he wasn’t sure he had another run for office in him.

“If you don’t have that fire in the belly, that’s not good. And I didn’t really have that,” he said.

Over Mother’s Day, the whole family sat down and talked about the future.

The kids said they would support him, and Joan was f inally on board. Westmoreland had a talk with an old friend and talked with his wife some more.

“I just realized that it was not a good choice for me and the family,” Westmoreland said.

The day before his announcement, an email blast was sent out from a “Draft Westmoreland” website.

“I know people don't believe this, but I have no earthly idea who did it,” Westmoreland said. “If I did, I would call them

and tell them to take it down.”

He said he became aware of the Draft Westmoreland website and Facebook page in early May. The website is professionally done, and Westmoreland said he called everybody he could think of to see if they knew who it was, with no luck.

Westmoreland said he didn't know about the email blast until he was told about it a few days later. The timing was just a coincidence.

West morela nd h a s been “a conservative voice for the state for a long, long time,” said Brass. “I hate to see it end.

“But he’s paid his dues. He’s earned the right to kick back and relax and enjoy his family.”

Brass, however, said he’s certain Westmoreland won’t be able to “sit at home and do nothing.”

“He’s going to be involved in something,” Brass said. “He believes in doing what is right, for the greater good, and he’s always done that. I think he always will do that. Even if it is not in politics, he will do it in some other venture.”
