BANK AHEAD

A lot of history has happened since Queensborough was founded in 1902 as First National Bank and Trust in Louisville, Georgia. The 19th century had just ended. It was a bold move to start an independent bank to serve a small farming community. Our promise was “great service and uncomplicated banking.” Over a century later those values still hold. We’ve changed our name but never our promise.

OF OUR TIME

We were ahead of our time then and we are still ahead of our time today. Now you can bank with us from anywhere. As a forward thinking bank, we embrace the technology that allows banking without borders and deposits without driving. It works for our customers and we work for them. But if you want to stop by, we have 24 branches in 15 cities across Georgia.

A few weeks ago, an evil, invisible demon doctors call streptococcal bacteria, aka strep throat, began waging a nasty, unprovoked battle against my immune system. My body's little antibiotic-resistant guest long overstayed its welcome and kept me in bed for days, too weak and miserable to put my feet on the floor. It was one of those days, a little after noon, that my dad called. I answered the phone, still in my nightshirt and barely conscious, and tried to process the words coming from the other end. "Hey baby girl," he said. "Do you feel like eating something? I brought you some soup." I stumbled out of bed and put on my glasses and some shorts, opened my front door and wobbled barefoot onto the porch. There was my daddy on the steps, a bag of soup in one hand and a sweet tea in the other. Standing there with my runny nose and messy hair, I took in the moment, a tangible reminder of how much my dad loves me. How much I appreciate it when he takes care of me. How much I'll always need him.

My heart could have exploded. While one day in June is set aside to celebrate our daddies, I hope mine knows how much I love and appreciate him every day of the year. This month also brings with it the first official day of summer, a season our cover mom, Jenna Lawson, enjoys spending with her husband, Jimbo, and their sons, 2-year-old Wilder and 10-month-old Wyatt. But rather than exotic vacations or extravagant events, Jenna says it's the afternoons at home and laid-back evenings together that she treasures most. To read more about her sweet family and how they make the most of the summer months, turn to page 14. Our Go Girl this month is Karen Morris, a woman who not only has been a wife to her husband for 33 years but also his co-worker. The couple owns Morris Fence Co. in Statesboro, and although she says the overlap of their home and work lives has not always been easy, their faith in God and persistence through the difficult times have seen them through. Read more about Karen and her family on page 5. Here's to fathers, fresh new seasons and plenty of fun in the sun! advertising Director

and raised here in Statesboro, as was Johnny, 72. Karen is the oldest of three girls. Her middle sister, Deborah Deal, and her baby sister, Beth Tarpley, also live in Statesboro. Both sisters moved away for a brief time before coming back to settle — but Karen never left. "I stayed here, and honestly, (I) just couldn't think of any place I would rather be than in Bulloch County," she said. Johnny began the fence business about 1973. He'd previously worked at Rockwell Manufacturing and ITT Grinnell Foundry before deciding that self-employment was the route he wanted to take. Now, 43 years later, he'll tell you that he feels God has allowed him to build a successful business in the fence industry—but it hasn't always been easy. "Johnny and I worked together each day. Sometimes this is not always easy or pleasant, but we have struggled through it ... only by the grace of God," Karen said. "Johnny bids the jobs ... gets men set up on jobs and collects payment for jobs with hopes of keeping the customer happy. I do not like to collect money; my job in the business is paying the bills! I must say that Johnny is Morris Fence Co." Karen says Johnny is a very talented and smart businessman and that he works very hard to provide for them. The business is operated out of their home, making it even more

difficult for them to separate their lives as co-workers and husband and wife. "I don't know that we do very well in keeping the two separate in our daily lives," she said. "After 33 years, it just seems one flows into the other each day." Karen realizes her life is blessed, and she says she owes it all to Jesus Christ. "There have been dark and hard times in my life through poor choices and judgement of my own, and things just happen in life as we live it. But Jesus was always there, willing and able to deliver me from mistakes I have made," she said. "Jesus brought me from darkness to light. I have joy

because of him." When she has time, Karen enjoys reading, going to the movies and visiting residents in nursing homes and assisted living and hospice care facilities. She attends First Baptist Church Statesboro, where she has been a member for most of her life. There, she's part of the Sunday School class The Encouragers and looks forward to worship services and Bible study with very special, strong Christian ladies each Sunday. "I know that to whom much is given, much is expected," she said. "I have been given so much, and I should be giving back as Jesus would have me to do."

ll wives love their husbands and enjoy spending time with them — it's a requirement of the job — but not all women can work and live with their spouses and manage to keep their sanity! Karen Morris is the exception. She and her husband, Johnny, have been working together for 33 years. It hasn't always been easy, she says, but it works. The couple owns Morris Fence Co. in Statesboro. Karen and Johnny met in 1977 in the local Sears store. Five years later, on Dec. 31, 1982, they were married at the Bulloch County Courthouse. Johnny's young sons, John and Clay, served as witnesses. John, now 52, is married to Sandy Berkeley, and they have three children: Mitchell, Whitney and Lydia. Mitchell and his wife, Mallorie, have a 2-year-old daughter, Berkeley Jo. Clay, 44, has twin daughters, Ansley and Cayla, who are students at Portal High School. Karen says she and Johnny are so proud to be greatgrandparents to Berkeley Jo. "We just have a great family," she said. "I have been greatly blessed and have more than I deserve. " Karen's parents were originally from Treutlen County, Georgia, but while visiting his best friend at the Nic Nac Grille in Statesboro one weekend, her father decided to make the city his family's home. Karen, 65, was born

Using a slotted spoon, place slaw into a serving dish and discard the extra liquid left behind in the mixing bowl. Serve alongside cooked meat, or use as a topping on burgers.

Preparing for Life's Storms, One Brick at a Time

Ty Johnson Ty's Counselor Corner

doesn't last long. Taking time to prepare and study what works best is a key component of standing the test of time. As I was reading, I began to think about life and how we should prepare for the "huffs and puffs," which can be

interpreted as life storms. They can come in many forms; nevertheless, they are usually unpredictable, frustrating and oftentimes scary. In preparing for the storms of life, we must mentally, emotionally and physically feed ourselves things that will build us. How often do you work on your house? Spend time doing inspirational activities such as reading motivational passages, talking with positive people, listening to empowering music/shows, saving money for a rainy day, eating healthy foods and so forth. When we do these things, we are building ourselves with the bricks that will help sustain us during the storms. You must pour good things into yourself so that when the rainy days of life arise,

the good seeds planted are what will sprout. It took the last pig a little longer to build his home, but what he was building was something that would last. Building yourself, your relationships, your businesses, your family will take time and effort, but when the storm hits, you will find that your efforts have paid off. One brick at a time is all it takes. Have a great day, and build on!

oing through some old books, I came across an old favorite, "The Three Little Pigs." Flipping through the book, it jogged my memory of the story and its powerful and meaningful plot. The first little pig builds his home of straw, the second pig builds his home of sticks, and the last pig builds his home of bricks. In an attempt to try to harm the pigs, the big bad wolf huffs and puffs and tries to blow down their homes — and the only house able to withstand the blows is the house built of bricks. The difference between the three pigs is preparation. Sometimes, you can do something really fast, but it

Beat the Heat with These Sun Lovers

his summer, be among the first to try out these brand new varieties of some of our most beloved classics. Not only will these newcomers add extra pizzazz to your gardens and containers, but they are also heat tolerant and love sun — perfect for those sunny places around your property! Flowering hibiscus has a tendency to transport us to a tropical paradise with its signature look and fragrance, and that's never been more true than with its newest "Hollywood" series. Not just one but nine new cultivars are available on the market this spring, bringing with them stunning shades of pink, orange, yellow and red. Plant in full sun like other hibiscus varieties, and watch your outdoor spaces light up with these heat-resistant lovelies! I personally am so excited to try this next exciting twist on one of my favorite summer treats. "Luscious Pinkberry Blend" lantana is one tough cookie, able to grow, even thrive during those long, hot summer spells. "Pinkberry" offers all the best qualities of traditional lantana but with new color combinations of pink, cream and yellow. Like strawberry lemonade on a dry summer day, "Pinkberry" will beat the heat and lend amazing new color to your container gardens and landscaping. You may think you've seen it all when it comes to begonias, but think again! Begonia "Little Lava" is making a huge splash on the market this season with robust orange blooms that are anything but commonplace. While other begonias wither and fade in the summer sun, "Lava" will keep the color coming even when the heat is on. Its beautiful cascading habit makes it ideal for containers and walkways, adding just the the right note to compliment other plants, or

if you'd rather, it can definitely stand on it's own. Plant in full sun to part shade. Petunia "Easy Wave Yellow" is the perfect touch of sunshine to compliment any home exterior or outdoor space. Like its brothers and sisters in the "Wave" series, "Easy Yellow" is characterized by its low-growing, mounding habit, which is awesome for containers and cascading areas such as retaining walls. If you're tired of the same color palate year after year, go ahead and give these lemony sun lovers a try! If you are looking for a flowering annual with a great deal of versatility, then pericallis "Senetti Sparkle Lavender" might be the right choice for you. Able to be grown both as an indoor sunroom plant or an outdoor accent piece, "Lavender" is true to its moniker and will produce delicate, full-purple blooms that are reminiscent of the daisy family. Although this sweet annual is heat tolerant, unlike its older varieties, it's best planted in a shady area where it does not receive direct sunlight. Look out for these stunning new annuals around your neck of the woods, and get ready to add some summer glam to your home!

Ashley Whittemore and miraculous breakthrough of the life of Helen Keller since 1959. Showtimes are June 3–4 at 7:30 p.m. and June 5 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $13 for adults ($15 for nonmembers) and $10 for youth. The show will conclude as the Averitt Center prepares for an evening of celebration at the Fifth Annual Emma Awards ceremony on Saturday, June 11, at 6 p.m. in the Emma Kelly Theater, where community actors, musicians, designers and directors will reunite to perform some of this year's favorite musical numbers, requested by you! Averitt Center STARs President John Parcels says that this year, the ceremony will be different than in years past. "We really want to encourage the community to come and support the performers, and I think that by making it a performance rather than an awards ceremony, we will really engage the audience," he said.

The past season was filled with memorable shows with some very talented actors. The awards show will include performances by crowd favorites such as professional actress Bethany DeZelle, who recently finished filming "Barber Shop 3." DeZelle will reprise her role as Nellie Forbush from "South Pacific," along with J.J. Crawford as Emile de Becque. Other performances include "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," "DreamGirls" and "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." The event also will feature a preview of "Forever Patsy Cline," with Brandi Harvey singing "Crazy." Brooks Adams, Averitt Center business development director, says this event allows the community to relive some of their favorite moments from the shows of this past year. "In theater, the performers work really hard to put a show together that is only performed a few times before it's over," he said. "Although there is

something kind of beautiful about that, you only have a small opportunity to touch the audience, and the Emma Awards gives artists the chance to go back in time for a brief moment and recreate those experiences." Online voting is open now for supporters to cast their votes for their favorite individual or show in each category (www.averittcenterforthearts. org). Each vote costs $1, and funds raised will support programs and amenities at the Averitt Center. Voting is unlimited, so vote for your choice as many times as you like before voting ends at 9 p.m. on June 10. Tickets to the event are $25 per person or $40 per couple, and all ticketholders are invited to a reception to follow the performance. To reserve your tickets, call the Averitt Center for the Arts at (912) 212-2787, visit the box office or purchase them online at www.averittcenterforthearts.org.

The Difference a Mother's Voice Makes

moments | June 2016 | www.statesboromoments.com

our mom's voice can make a huge difference in your life. A new study from researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine found that a child's brain lights up in certain areas when they hear their mom speak, improving their ability to process rewards, feel emotions, recognize faces and understand what is going on around them, according to Tech Times. This only happens with a mother's voice. Other women have little to no effect on the brain. "Many of our social, language and emotional processes are learned by listening to our mom's voice," said the study's lead author Dr. Daniel Abrams, in a press release. "But surprisingly little is known about how the brain organizes itself around this very important sound source. We didn't realize that a mother's voice would have such quick access to so many

different brain systems." To find this, researchers examined 24 children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who were 7 to 12 years old and had IQs of at least 80 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and their biological mothers, who had to answer questionnaires about their

baby's ability to interact. Each child then underwent a brain scan, during which their mother uttered "three nonsense words" to them. The researchers found that the auditory regions of the brain, which

handle emotions, and areas that detect and assign rewards lit up when they heard their mother's words. They also noticed that parts of the brain that process information and recognize faces glowed as well. "We know that hearing mother's voice can be an important source of emotional comfort to children," Abrams added. "Here, we're showing the biological circuitry underlying that." Previous research has lined up with this new finding. A 2015 study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that babies who hear their mother's heartbeat and voice tend to have stronger development of their auditory cortex â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the part of the brain that helps people hear. Similarly, a 2010 study from the University of Montreal and the SainteJustine University Hospital Research Centre found that a mother's voice can activate a baby's brain, specifically the areas where they learn language.

'Quality Time Is Just Time Spent Together' For Jenna Lawson, Summers Are for Family Julie Lavender

ust about everyone looks forward to the adventures summertime brings, but for this month's cover mom, the season is especially exciting, as Jenna Lawson managed to deliver both of her precious boys in the month of July. She even turned the birth of her second son into a national holiday. Well, technically, July 4 was already established as Independence Day, but for their family, it's indeed a cause for fireworks and celebration. Jenna shares her summers with husband Jimbo and their two sons, 2-year-old Wilder and 10-month-old

Wyatt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both summer babies. "Two of the last three summers have been unique for Jimbo and me, as I've been pregnant and on maternity leave," she said. Because her boys haven't yet reached school age, she says their summers thus far have begun seamlessly following each school year. "We're fortunate to have a day care facility that is year-round and that we completely love," she said. But she also knows future years may require some strategic planning. "Our Fourth of July holiday will always be a challenge from here on out, between trying to juggle cele-

brating the special holiday, family and friends traveling for the Fourth, and having Wyatt's birthday," she said. Jenna says she values any time spent with her family, but the summer months stand out as prime time for spending time together. "Since my husband and I both work full time and the closest family member is two hours away, 'quality' time for us can be difficult to come by," she said. "We do our best to appreciate the afternoons and evenings after work, as well as weekends, when the four of us can be together. Oftentimes you can find us taking advantage of later sunsets by cruising the neigh-

borhood in the golf cart. We spend a ton of time right here at home with our friends in our neighborhood. "I think it is important to remember that quality time doesn't have to be spent in the form of a vacation, at a destination or doing a unique activity," she added. "Quality time is just time spent together." Though she doesn't want time to speed by in any fashion, Jenna says she looks forward to when her boys are old enough to take part in opportunities like sports at the StatesboroBulloch County Parks and Recreation Department, trips to Georgia Southern University's Center for Wildlife

Education and camps at the Averitt Center for the Arts. "I do think the summer should be a fun break, but I also think it's important to keep the kids stimulated and motivated," she said. The thing she says she's noticed most about her summers as a mom compared to her pre-kid summers is that spur-of-the-moment trips are not nearly as feasible. However, adding her boys to summer events changed her perspective in other ways, too. "All trips and vacations seem so much more memorable now," she said. "Traveling is a definite challenge these days, but it always shows what you're capable of â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially when traveling with two young boys!" When Jenna and Jimbo are not creating special memories with their sweet boys, they work full time, she at Georgia Southern as the director of marketing for auxiliary services and he in real estate at Berkshire Hathaway Kennedy Realty. Jenna, originally from Augusta, moved to Statesboro in 2002 to attend Georgia Southern. It was as a student that she met Jimbo at Dingus Magee's. "Who says you can't meet your husband in a bar?" she said with a chuckle. Both are proud Georgia Southern graduates and even prouder to call Statesboro home, though that may not initially have been the case. "I always had aspirations of moving the 'big city' upon graduation, specifically Charleston, South Carolina, since I had family there," Jenna said. "However, as fate would have it and completely against my desires at the time, I decided to stay with Jimbo in Statesboro. He would tell me, 'Give it two years, then we'll reevaluate our living situation.' So, I gave him two years, which has thankfully turned into more than 10 years post-graduation. "I am grateful for many, many things that my husband has done for me and our family, but encouraging me to make Statesboro our home is one of the top," she said. "Statesboro has been a blessing to us, and I couldn't imagine us anywhere else." With residents like the Lawson family, it's no wonder Statesboro is a great place to call home, during the summer months and all year round.

Are B12 Supplements Right for You?

moments | June 2016 | www.statesboromoments.com

o B12 or not to B12, that is the question for people seeking to lose weight and restore flagging energy. A quick-release shot of the vitamin has become a popular offering at weight-loss clinics and on Groupon, where people can snap up six B12 injections for about $35. But will it do anything special for you or just fill your toilet with vitamin water? And could high levels of the vitamin be dangerous? Time magazine answered these questions with the help of Dr. Roxanne Sukol, medical director of the Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Enterprise. She said the B vitamins — there are eight — are essential for cell respiration, meaning they enable the body to take in oxygen. When our cells don't get enough, our energy dips, our mood darkens and our laser-focus dims. Inadequate amounts of B12 —

Deseret News and B6 — also can cause anemia, a chronic shortage of the red blood cells that shuttle oxygen to body tissue. We obtain B12 when we eat meat, poultry, shellfish, eggs and dairy products. And unlike vitamin C, our bodies can store it. But if we're not consuming enough animal protein, or if we're deficient in a protein that helps us absorb B12, we may need an extra source. Vegans are at particular risk of being deficient, according to Time. In addition, people who regularly take drugs for heartburn, acid reflux or ulcers such as Prilosec or Tagamet may be lacking the vitamin, The New York Times has said. But other people might want to give supplementation a try if they're frequently fatigued or

have trouble focusing. One study has suggested up to 40 percent of Americans, particularly the elderly, may be deficient in B12; another gives a range of 1.5 to 15 percent. Injections of B12 have been shown to be beneficial for people who have fibromyalgia and myalgia encephalomyelitis. But otherwise, if you're going to try a supplement, a pill is just as good as a shot, Time said, noting that because it's water soluble, the vitamin is safe, even in high doses, for the general population. Pregnant women, however, should pay close attention to their intake. One explosive new study has sug-

gested a link between high levels of folate and B12 to autism, although one doctor writing in The Atlantic cautions that the claim is "extremely premature" and should not discourage women from taking prenatal vitamins. How much do we need? The National Institutes of Health advise 2.6 mcg daily for pregnant women and 2.8 mcg for breastfeeding moms. For adults and teens, the requirement drops to 2.4 mcg; for children ages 9–13, 1.8 mcg; and children ages 4–8, 1.2 mcg. Children 3 and younger need less than 1 mcg. Despite the claims of some weightloss clinics, don't expect to drop pounds just by taking a supplement. "Everybody's looking for a shortcut," Dr. Brent Bauer, director of the complementary and integrative medicine program at Mayo Clinic, told Markham Heid of Time. "B12 supplementation has its benefits, but it's not a solution for weight loss." Richard James, MD Mary Alice Allcott,NP Toni Lynn Herring, PA-C Brandon Rowland, PA-C

The Troubling Reason Many Girls Stop Playing Sports

irls' participation in sports declines sharply after puberty, and a new study from the United Kingdom suggests it's because they're uncomfortable with their developing bodies. Researchers interviewed more than 2,000 British girls, and threequarters expressed concerns about their breasts, according to The New York Times. Their worries ranged from unease about being seen by other girls in locker rooms to physical discomfort from breast movement. Dr. Sharonda Alston Taylor, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, told New York Times health writer Jan Hoffman that "as cup size increases, physical activity decreases for a lot of girls." For women, too. Up to 72 percent of women who exercise have pain or discomfort from their breasts, lead author Joanna Scurr, a biomechanics professor at the University of Portsmouth in England, told. That's because breasts move independently of a woman's body and have "little internal support," Hoffman wrote. A well-fitting sports bra is one solution, but the British researchers found that only 10 percent of girls in the

Where Patients Are Family

Deseret News study regularly wore one, and more than half said they had never worn a sports bra. Girls were more likely to refrain from sports because of their breasts at ages 13 and 14, and at all ages if they had larger breasts. The researchers suggested that they might be helped by education about breast support and bra selection and fit as early as age 11. An emphasis on breast and bra education also might help the girls later in life, as exercising without support can cause lasting damage, Scurr told Fitness magazine. "Because breasts are made of soft tissue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; alas, not muscle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what holds them up is the surrounding skin and the internal Cooper's ligaments, a web of springy coils that are built to rebound until jumping, genetics and gravity catch up with them," the magazine reported. Exercising without support can ultimately cause breasts to droop, Scurr said. But a well-fitting sports bra can cut their movement in half. Some fitness companies have made an effort to help provide sports bras for girls. For example, as David Quick reported in The Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C., Moving Comfort/Brooks has partnered with Fleet Feet Sports to provide sports bras through a program called "Support the Girls."

SAFEGUARD YOURSELF FROM SUMMERTIME AILMENTS AND ACCIDENTS Summer is often marked by vacations, recreational events and relaxing moments spent by the pool or on the beach. But when the weather heats up, so can potential health hazards that can ruin all of the fun. The following are some of the more common summertime ailments and how to avoid them.

moments | June 2016 | www.statesboromoments.com

Lawn and garden injuries: Lawn and garden injuries may not be common, but men, women and children should exercise caution when using lawn and garden equipment. Wear protective shoes and gloves and safety goggles. Remember to turn off any motorized tools before attempting to repair or unclog the blades. Swimmer’s ear: Water that remains in the ear canal after swimming can make the ear a breeding ground for swimmer’s ear, which is a bacterial infection. If water remains in your ear for more than one night, visit an ear, nose and throat specialist. Insect bites and stings: Insects return when temperatures rise. Mosquitoes may be the biggest nuisance, but biting flies and wasps also make formidable foes. Use insect repellent to keep the bugs away. Wear long pants and check for ticks after hiking. Boating accidents: Many boating accidents can be attributed to inexperience with the vessel and failure to take proper safety precautions on the water. Make sure everyone on the boat wears a life jacket, and follow proper boating protocol throughout your trip Dehydration: The body needs extra water on hot days, especially when spending ample time outdoors. Dehydration can cause dizziness and dry mouth and may make you feel faint. Always drink plenty of water and avoid alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, which can contribute to dehydration when consumed in excess.

CouponTips Dear Jill, How do you keep up with what others are doing for their kids? My son plays baseball. He's very good and isn't content to play for our park's team anymore, as many of his friends are moving up to the travel team. The travel team costs almost $1,000 to play for the season. The other parents are pressuring us to sign him up. My daughter's friends go to a yoga class on Saturdays, and she wants to attend. The class is $20 each week. These kids are 9; I didn't think it would be so expensive. I don't think we can afford to commit to spending that every week. How do you juggle what your kids are allowed to do and what you will pay for? —Flora P. As a mother of three, I'm often faced with situations like these; the costs of children's activities can add up very quickly. I'm very open with my children about the costs of the things they're involved in — everything from Scouts to sports to school field trips. We allow each of our children to play one sport per calendar year through our park district. We dealt with the pricey travel team issue just as Flora writes about. After years of my daughter and her friends playing soccer for our park district league,

many of the other girls moved up to the travel team. We explained to our daughter that the travel team just wasn't in our budget, but she was welcome to play at the park league for as many years as she'd like. One of my sons wants to attend summer camp for a week this year, and we looked at several camps through Scouts and our church. I have fond memories of attending camp as a child and want him to have the same opportunity. Ultimately, we chose a camp affiliated with our church because our family knows many of the teens who volunteer there as counselors, and the costs of attending are partially offset by our church. I realize that it can be tough to counter the "but Josh's parents are letting him do it" defense from your kids. We don't hear that too often around our home, though, and I believe it's because we've always been very open with our children about what things cost and why or why not we're deciding to spend. My children also could tell you roughly how much we spend on groceries each week, what our home's average utility bills are and what it costs to live each month; We're very open about our family's finances with them. When the kids ask if we can go out to dinner instead of eating at home, I'll tell them what we've spent on entertainment this month and let them help be a part of the decision process: "Would you rather go out to dinner tonight or go to the drive-in movie we were planning to see next week?" This openness has made them much more money-savvy than one might expect of elementary school children!

s a parent, I'm quite familiar with the costs associated with raising children. The U.S. Department of Agriculture currently estimates the cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 is $245,340!
