Newnan to host outdoor film series BY CLAY NEELY
clay@newnan.com
Ne x t m ont h , t h e c it y of Newnan will host an outdoor film series as part of Georgia Cities Week. The annual event, sponsored by the Georgia Municipal Association and is designed to showcase and celebrate cities and the many services they provide. The theme of this year's Georgia Cities Week is "Georgia's Cities: In the Spotlight," highlighting cities’ contributions in economic development, historic preservation and in providing quality of life for residents and businesses. Since the city has served as a backdrop for many popular film and television series, two films with Newnan ties will be shown on the walls of downtown buildings. On Friday, April 27, “T he Founder” will be shown at the County Administration parking lot located at 22 East Broad Street. The second film, “The Odd Life of Timothy Greene,” will be shown in the parking lot behind Domino’s off West Broad Street. Both films were shot in Newnan. Showtime for both movies

is set for 8:30 p.m. Kettleworks and Sweet Sensations will be on hand selling concessions for the film fest. Prior to the start of the movies, a “Touch a Truck” event will be held on West Broad Street near The Carnegie Library from
6 to 8 p.m. A city-inspired art contest will be held in the local high schools. Art students were encouraged to participate by submitting their best entries of art that depict the “In the Spotlight” theme in celebration of Georgia Cities Week. The top five art pieces will be displayed at City Hall all week. The winners will be announced at a later date. "We are very proud of our city and the services we provide that make it attractive to residents and visitors," said Gina Snider, public information officer for the city of Newnan. "Too often, people are unaware of how cities enhance their quality of life, and we like them to participate in these events and learn more about the city of Newnan's story." "In the Spotlight" will be kicked off by Mayor Keith Brady, and various departments of the city, such as Public Information, Police, Fire, Planning and Zoning, Keep Newnan Beautiful, Main Street, and Newnan Center and City commissions. Youth Council and Cultural Arts will be represented as well.

In early March, Burgess was one of 24 f iref ighters from around the country to graduate from the Georgia Smoke Divers program. It was not only a personal achievement , but pl ace d B u r ge s s i n t he r e c o rd b o o k s a s b e i n g t h e f i r s t f i ref ighter from t he New na n Fi re Department to complete the course. “This program was the most challenging and rewarding experience of my life,” Burgess said. “I am thankf u l for t he suppor t a nd g u ida nce from God, my family, NFD co-workers, and friends. I one hundred percent would not have made it through the program without them.” T he Georgia Smoke Divers program is an intense course in Dalton, Ga ., for ex perienced f i ref ig hters. A person must first qualify for the program before being considered as a candidate for the class. Burgess said hundreds of people competed in the qualifying round. He wa s one of 35 chosen for t he Smoke Diver prog ra m - a nd wa s accepted on his first attempt to take the course. “Ever y day was challenging and demanding. It was the hardest thing I’ve done by far,” Burgess said. “But I wanted to better myself as a firef ighter, push my limits and better my skills in the profession I chose to do.” The Smoke Diver program pushes firefighters to their limits and furt her t ra i ns t hem i n sel f-su r v iva l, firefighter rescue, advanced search and rescue, thermal imaging, emergency procedures, teamwork, disci-

The group also learns how to function within the Incident Command System. “T he prog ra m … teaches you to keep trying even though you think you cannot,” Burgess explained. “It pushes you past the point of exhaustion, both mentally and physically, it is at this point the program puts you through a series of drills that simulate actual fire ground operations.” The Smoke Diver course includes drills to simulate cha llenges f iref ighters face in their line of work, such as battling structure fires, multiple-alarm fires and multiple fires within a single shift.

T h i r t y-f ive f i ref ig hters sta r ted the Smoke Diver program; only 24 were left standing on the last day including Burgess. “I’m bringing back things that will make me a better firefighter, a better husba nd a nd a better person,” Burgess said. “I know I can take on challenges, not be afraid to fail and push past my limits.” “I was very happy for him,” said new New n a n Fi re Ch ief Stephen Brown. “I actually called him that night to congratulate him.

several submissions could successfully be combined. The group hopes to begin work on the mural before school is out for the summer and to finish by the time it returns in August. The tunnel will be painted on both sides and lit 24-hours a day.
Christian hopes to have up to four student interns to participate in this rare opportunity. The cost of the mural is expected to run around $12,000, so the group is hoping to secure funding through grants and from community donations.
With two more tunnel mural projects on deck, Christian suggested a variety of themes could be chosen for each. Those interested in more information can visit the group’s website at LINCFriends.com .

First off, you and the others need to decide on an amount of money that you are comfortable with spending on the party. Secondly, you need to have a meeting and present this to the other two hostesses. They may agree or they may decide to have their own party. Either way, you and the others need to be comfortable with the decision.
And Another Thing... Please remember when you go to a funeral visitation that "visitation" is what you do when you are in line, NOT what you do when you finally get to the family! This is not the time to share precious stories of the dearly departed;

Luke 24:34
This same Jesus who died to redeem mankind is still today setting the captive free. He conquered death, hell, and the grave. He came to deliver us from the evil one who steals, kills, and destroys. He laid down his life so that we have the opportunity to receive salvation, the ultimate gift. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 American Must Stand With Israel!
Honey, you need to pack your bags and move out. NOW! This may seem a little drastic, but it is the only way you are going to get his attention. His response to your actions will tell you everything you need to know about your relationship AND his intentions. Five years is a long time to have invested, and if the two of you are not on the same page, it may be time for you to start a new chapter. There are lots of fish in the sea, so don't despair if he doesn't come to his senses. Either way, you will be glad you did this. What I really want to know is what your Mama thinks about all of this. I would bet you ten dollars that she and I are on the same page! Let me know how this all works out. Dear Miss Pearl, I am part of a group who is giving a high school graduation party for our kids. Two of the hostesses have unlimited funds and are wanting to spend entirely too much money on the party. What can we do?

Coweta County ranks in state’s top 10 healthiest counties BY ANDY MILLER Georgia Health News
It seems Cowetans are doi ng somet h i ng rig ht when it comes to their health. Coweta County ranked as the 10th hea lt hiest county in G eorg i a , accord i ng to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Un iversit y of Wisconsi n Popu lat ion Hea lt h Institute. There are 159 counties in the state. In compiling the list, t he orga n i zations
looked at factors such as medical care, education, transportation and poverty that inf luence how long and how well people live. Forsy t h Cou nt y wa s r a n ke d a s G e or g i a’s h e a lt h i e s t c o u n t y for the sixth straight year. Other counties on the top ten list, in order from highest to lowest, were: Oconee, Cherokee, Fayet te, Gw i n net t , Columbia, Cobb, Harris and Paulding counties. T he st ud ie s showed
“This year’s county health rankings highlight the tremendous health disparities that persist in Georgia by zip code, race and ethnicity.’’ the unhealthiest places pre dom i n a nt ly a re i n r ura l a reas, ma ny i n the southern part of the state. The f ive Georgia cou nt ie s i n t he p o orest health, starting with least healthy, are Quit-
m a n , Wa r r e n , C r i s p , Turner a nd Ea rly. “We can’t be a healthy, thrivi n g n at ion i f we cont i n u e t o l e a ve e n t i r e communities and populations behind,” said Dr. R icha rd Besser, president a nd CEO of t he
Rober t Wood Joh n son Foundation. In Georgia, 23 percent of children live in poverty, compared with 20 percent nationally. The report card noted children in poverty are less likely to have access to qua lit y schools a nd have fewer cha nces to be prepared for higherwage jobs. “ T h i s ye a r ’s cou nt y he a lt h ra n k i n g s h ig hlight t he tremendous hea lt h dispa rities t hat persist in Georgia by zip code, race a nd et h n ic-
ity,’’ said Marsha Davis, a n associate dea n at the University of Georgia’s College of P ublic Health. “One of the key drivers of health status is poverty. Unti l we i mprove the social and physical environments in which all Georgians live, their income, and their educational achievement, it is unlikely that we can improve their health.” Melanie Ruberti contributed to this article. melanie@newnan.com
