Hello everyone, I’m Hunter! I’m the assistant editor and graphic designer for MOMents Magazine. You may have read a little DIY column called “Hunter’s How-To” — YEAH, THAT’S ME!

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this issue hits close to home. My fearless mother, a breast cancer survivor herself, showed me what true grace and composure is like when under pressure — and putting together a 32-page spread in less than a week’s time IS PRESSURE! Since our fabulous editor Linsay is out of the office at the moment, I was presented with the task of writing the “In this Issue.” So let us get started, shall we? The Cover Mom this month is Alma Giddens Freeman, a loving wife, devoted mother, former hair-stylist and cancer survivor. Her Hunter McCumber and his story is beautiful and empowering. mother Donna Williams Our GoGirl Susan Jackson shares with us her story of battling breast cancer and finding new paths to explore within the community.

Healthy Habits to Lower your Cancer Risk

emphysema and stroke. But smoking can even harm nonsmokers unfortunate enough to spend time in the vicinity of smokers. Such nonsmokers take in nicotine and thousands of additional chemicals, including carbon monoxide and cadmium, a chemical element used in batteries, when people smoke near them. In addition, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke were 25 percent more likely to have coronary heart disease compared to nonsmokers not exposed to smoke. Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to children, as kids whose parents smoke around them get bronchitis and pneumonia more often than kids whose parents abstain from smoking in their presence. Exercise regularly. The NCI notes that there is strong evidence that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the breast and colon. More than 60 studies published in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia have indicated that physically active women have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than inactive women, with some active women reducing their risk by as much as 80 percent. Studies conducted around the world have produced similar findings with regard to colon cancer. Research has consistently indicated that adults who increase their physical activity, be it in intensity, duration or frequency, can reduce their risk of developing colon cancer by 30 to 40 percent relative to adults who are sedentary. The ACS suggests adults include at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous activity in their weekly routines, though many studies have found that 30 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day is the most effective way to reduce cancer risk significantly.

ertain types of cancer are more likely to strike certain types of people than others. For example, while men can be diagnosed with breast cancer, women are far more likely to develop the disease. But just because a person's risk of developing cancer is low, that does not make that person immune to the disease. As a result, it's important that men and women take steps to lower their cancer risk. One of the more effective ways to lower your risk for cancer is to ensure your lifestyle choices are as healthy as possible. Choosing habits that benefit your shortand long-term health can reduce your risk for cancer and a host of additional ailments. Maintain a healthy weight. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), men and women who are overweight or obese are at a greater risk of several types of cancer, including cancer of the esophagus, pancreas, colon and rectum, breast, kidney and thyroid. The National Cancer Institute defines obesity as someone with a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or above, while someone with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight. Maintaining a healthy weight or shedding excess weight if you are already at an elevated risk for cancer can lower your risk for cancer and other potentially debilitating diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke. Quit smoking. Smokers might be surprised to learn that tobacco use, according to the ACS, is responsible for nearly 20 percent of all deaths in the United States. That might have something to do with tobacco's role in causing more than a dozen types of cancer and its link to heart disease,

Put Pumpkins to Use in Many Different Ways
A
utumn is the season when pumpkins are ripe for the picking, and thousands of people flock to local farms and roadside vendors to select perfect pumpkins. Many pumpkins are turned into decorative jacko'-lanterns for Halloween, only to be tossed in the trash come Nov. 1. That could be because many people are unaware of the various ways they can put pumpkins to good use. Pumpkins are gourds and members of the squash family and have been grown and used for thousands of years. Evidence suggests that pumpkins date back to 7000 B.C., possibly originating in Mexico. Today they are widely used for decorating around Halloween, but there are many other things that can be done with pumpkins. Turn the pumpkin into a flower pot. Fill a hollow pumpkin with soil. You may not have to worry about scraping the pumpkin completely clean because the pulp can be used to help fertilize the potting soil. Plant your
Metro Creative Connection
favorite fall flowers into the festive and earth-friendly flower pot. When the pumpkin shows signs of rotting, simply put the whole thing into a traditional flower pot or bury it directly in the ground. Make pumpkin stock. While vegetable or meat-based stocks may be the standards, pumpkin can be used to make stock as well. Clean out the seeds from the stringy guts of the pumpkin and put the guts into a pot filled with water. Add celery, carrots or any other aromatic vegetables for extra flavor. Allow to boil for at least 30 minutes. The stock is ready when it begins to change color. Strain and reserve the stock for use in a variety of recipes. Add to compost bins. Pumpkins are rich in zinc, vitamin A and vitamin C, among other nutrients. You can add the discarded pumpkins to your backyard compost bins to further replenish the soil. Turn into a billowing cauldron. Instead of a standard jack-o'-lantern, put a glass jar into the carved pumpkin, add dish soap and hot water to the jar and then put in a piece of dry ice. Bubbles and smoke will pour out of the pumpkin to create a spooktacular effect.

Fall Fashion Trends and materials but not terry cloth. Save that for the spa Animal magnetism Animal prints are a perennial favorite, and it's no different this fall. Leopard print can be seen on everything from coats to skirts. If all-over leopard is too bold for you, look to accessories to add that spot of pattern. A bold leopard print scarf or funky leopard print boots can add a hint of whimsy to a relatively conservative ensemble. In addition to animal prints, some designers are now incorporating animal motifs into their collections. Birds are a common element, so consider an owl-printed sweater to add flair to your look. Orange you glad Orange is not just for jack-olanterns come the fall. Orange also is a hot color for the season's fashions. Although a bold choice, orange comes in different variations that work for just about every skin tone. Experiment with pumpkin to peachy to find the right shade for
you. And like animal prints, a little may go a long way to making your outfit pop. Make a Statement You no longer have to rely on bumper stickers or quirky T-shirts to give others a clue into your personality. Many designers are offering handbags with printed sentiments that make it easy for anyone to make a statement.

Fall Into Autumn Color
A
utumn is that magical time of year in which color abounds! It’s my favorite season! Very soon, trees will shift from green to yellows, oranges, and reds, and the outside world will take on a new cloak. My husband will attest that family outings are a never-ending barage of questions (from me) like,”Oooh, honey, what is that red bush in that person’s front yard?” or “I want one of those trees! What is it called?” Basically, I landscape stalk. Pathetic, right? So, to save y'all the trouble, I’d like to highlight a few of the best plants that will give you the rich colors of fall, both this year and for many more years to come. Japanese maples are among the brightest trees that you can depend

on for stunning vibrant hues. We actually have a baby maple in our backyard this year, and I’m so excited to see what happens when the weather gets colder! You can find lots of varieties of maple trees at your local nursery, and they will be able to help you pick just the right one for your space, light and water requirements. Burning bushes definitely live up to their name, with flaming red and or-
ange leaves that just take your breath away. They are very hardy plants in the spring and summer, too, so you can enjoy their pretty green leaves all through the year, until they fire up in the fall. They also are very nice for hedges and privacy screens when planted close to each other. Although not as common in the South as they are farther north, you can definitely find burning bushes locally in the Statesboro area. When it comes to cool-season annuals, pansies will give you great color for your dollar, being both cost-friendly and lovely at the same time. You’ll love how they brighten up a cloudy day with their cheerful little painted faces. Plant them in containers or in landscape beds, and choose from combinations of red, yellow, purple, white and orange. And pansies are pretty tough plants so you can count on them blooming
long into the cold months, continually reblooming as long as the old flowers are pinched off. So if you’re at a loss when it comes to adding color to your fall landscaping, look no further, my friend. These cool-season beauties will ignite your outdoor spaces all season long!

alloween and the arts are a perfect fit. Costumes, face paint, pretending to be who you aren’t, yet all in good fun—it’s like a big theatrical production that everyone can be a part of. Add to that a downtown full of haunted buildings, and you have a perfect Halloween! Alright, technically they are beautifully restored historic buildings, not haunted, but in October perhaps we can pretend they are just a tiny bit haunted? The Averitt Center for the Arts has an October packed with Halloweenthemed events. Executive Director Tim Chapman says: “Halloween is always a great holiday for us at the Averitt; it allows us to be even more creative in our already very creative jobs. We encourage the public to come out and enjoy all we have to offer.” This year’s lineup is bigger than ever. Start the celebration early with free zombie dance rehearsals for

the Thriller Dance down Main Street that closes out each year’s Scare on the Square. You don’t have to be a dancer to participate, just ready to have fun; after all how well can a zombie really dance? All ages are welcome: kids, college students, parents and grandparents. Rehearsals are at the Averitt Center’s dance studio on East Vine Street, and began on Tuesday, Sept. 23, from 6–7 p.m. Rehearsals will continue every Tuesday leading up to Scare on the Square, Oct. 25 starting at 4:30 p.m. and ending with the Thriller Dance at 8:30 p.m. Are you ready for ballet with a bite? For a rock, pop and industrial soundtrack that will change your perceptions of ballet? Get ready for "Count… The Legend of Dracula,"
Oct. 17 and 18. After rave reviews last year, Neos Dance Theater, a professional ballet company out of Ohio, will be back in the Boro. They will be performing their stunningly original, multi-media ballet of the gothic horror masterpiece "Dracula." Statesboro will also be premiering new scenes featuring local dancers. Spooky woods, hobgoblins and a hilariously nasty witch are just a few of the elements of the classic story, Hansel & Gretel. Performed by the Statesboro Youth Theater under the direction of Mical Whitaker, this will be a great family show. October 24 & 25 at 7:00 p.m. Halloween is the right time for a time warp. The Averitt Center is ready for the 7th annual Rocky Horror Picture Show LIVE! This wild evening has become a highlight of
the Halloween season. First timers are more than welcome, and everyone is invited to come in your favorite costume and join in the fun. However, this show is for mature audiences only and no one under 18 is permitted unless accompanied by an adult—the content is mature and we really recommend leaving the kids at home for this one. On Oct. 29, the doors will open at 7:30 p.m., preshow starts at 8 p.m. and the show is at 8:30 p.m. Finally, the most “Halloweeny” event of all is Ghost Tours by Lantern Light. This year come hear more historical and crazy stories of unusual happenings in downtown Statesboro. Get your group together and don’t be frightened if some ghosts try to reconnect with the living during this fun-filled walking tour. This tour sells out every year so get your tickets early.

Many Uses for leftover Halloween Candy
H
Special to Moments
alloween is certainly known for the spooky decorations that adorn homes and for the creative costumes children put on to canvas the neighborhood. But for many youngsters, Halloween is all about the candy. In just a few hours, trick-or-treaters can accumulate a substantial amount of assorted chocolates, confections and other sweet treats. Once everyone has had their fill of their favorite items, candy often gets relegated to a giant bowl on the kitchen table, where it beckons each resident who passes by. Rather than submitting to the call of the candy and sacrificing your dental health as a result, enterprising individuals can repurpose that leftover Halloween candy. Incentives Parents can store extra candy to use as rewards for good behavior.
Many parents use sweet treats as rewards for children learning to potty train. Rewarding older children for a job well done cleaning up their rooms or as a special treat for scoring a good grade on a test also can be a way to put the candy to good use. Gingerbread houses Christmas is just two months after Halloween. Put candy into sealable baggies and use it come the holiday season when building gingerbread houses. You will have a variety of different candies from which to choose and won't have to purchase anything new in order to decorate your creations. Advent calendars Halloween candy can be saved to make an Advent calendar. This calendar traditionally counts down to Christmas, revealing a date and a sweet treat behind each door. Instead of purchasing a ready-made Advent calendar, families can get together and make one for a family craft as a

way to recycle Halloween candy. Goody bags Candy is a crowd-pleaser, and leftover candy can be used in goody bags doled out at birthday parties. Keep the candy well sealed to store away until it is needed to fill goody bags. Add a few trinkets that tie in with the theme of your party, and you're all set. On a similar note, leftover candy can be used to stuff a pinata for a party. Pinatas are available in many different themes and styles, making any occasion ripe for a pinata. Baking Cookies, brownies and cake bars taste even better with peanut butter cups, chips and chocolate candies baked inside. Some candy can be frozen for later use in baked goods. Baked goods can be enjoyed by the family or used for bake sales for schools and other organizations. Donations Hospitals, doctors' offices and
nursing homes may appreciate donations of candy for staff and visitors. You can visit different places to see if they would appreciate a candy donation. Adult beverages Hard candies can be used to add some flavor to adult beverages. Let the candy sit in the alcohol for a few hours and the candy will dissolve. Use a coffee filter to strain out any candy remnants. There are many different ways to put Halloween candy to use so it doesn't go to waste or end up ruining teeth and waistlines.

Eat the Cake A mom shares her journey with breast cancer
Julie Lavender
A
lma Giddens Freeman received the diagnosis no one wants to hear, and she was dealt the dreaded diagnosis twice. Loving wife, devoted mother and former hair-stylist, Alma found out she had breast cancer the first time at the age of 32. Then, almost 10 years later, after being cancer-free for eight years, Alma was told the cancer was back and had metastasized. When Alma’s girls, Mary Peyton and Emma, were just 7 and 4, Alma noticed a tender spot and lump in her breast when Emma would rest her head on Alma’s chest at bedtime. At first, Alma brushed off the symptom, partly because she had no family history of breast cancer. Additionally, Alma had just had a mammogram the previous year that came back clear. When Alma discussed with a doctor the fact that she’d only been able to nurse both girls on one breast, he suggested the procedure. Alma’s mother-in-law, however, as an 18-year breast cancer survivor, implored her daughter-inlaw to see a doctor. Not so ironically, that suggestion was made when Alma and her husband, David, were attending David’s father’s funeral when he passed away from prostate cancer. After a biopsy, Alma received the news: Stage 2 breast cancer. “I couldn’t have been more shocked,” said Alma. “I truly believed they had my diagnosis mixed up with someone else. It was so hard to believe.” Once the initial shock wore off, Alma got on the phone and reached out to those she knew who had dealt with cancer. Getting much support from family and friends and researching extensively, Alma marched forward. “I tried to live my life as normally as possible. We tried not to
use the ‘c’ word a lot in front of the girls, but they did pick up on it.” The Freemans explained as much as they thought necessary to the girls. At one point, Alma told Mary Peyton that she was taking medicine that her doctor prescribed, and she would begin to lose her hair. As only a child could do, Mary Peyton responded “Mommy, if I were you, I wouldn’t go back to that doctor.” But go back she did, facing six months of chemotherapy, a lumpectomy and five weeks of daily radiation. Shortly after that time, Alma was again shocked when test results to determine a propensity for future cancers showed she had an 85-percent chance of the cancer returning. Alma followed the suggestion of her doctor and had a bilateral mastectomy and a hysterectomy, and hoped that was the end of her relationship with cancer. “I felt fine,” said Alma of her post-cancer days. “I felt like I had a new lease on life.” Fast forward several years and Alma began to notice she didn’t feel well. But a variety of doctors’ visits and tests showed nothing conclusive. “I was anxious,” said Alma of that time. “I had a constant anxiety because I just knew something was wrong. I was doing everything I could to find out why I was anxious. But the Lord sounded the alarm. He said, ‘Something’s wrong with my child.’” After some problems with a medication, bruising on her lower back and then, eventually, excruciating pain on her lower left side, Alma was admitted to the hospital for kidney failure. Puzzled, doctors couldn’t attribute the kidney failure to anything definitive, but Alma
mires the fighting spirit he sees in his wife daily. He is also very appreciative of the love and support of their community. “The amount of people that showed up after she received her diagnosis was amazing,” David commented. “The people of this community were a godsend. The whole community came to our aid. “This whole experience has been very humbling. Alma and I are not ones to ask for help. It’s pretty remarkable what everybody did for us.” Alma knows there’s more to her journey that involves a great deal of faith and fight. “I’ve never taken life that seriously, but a ‘breast cancer’ diagnosis is about as serious as it gets,” Alma said. “I try to be as normal as I can be. Live for today. Be in the present. Enjoy the little things as well as the big things. I know those are clichés, but it’s
true. “God is always in control. Your life’s not over when you have a diagnosis like that.” Pointedly, Alma recalls watching her daughter, Emma, now 13, cheer at a William James Middle School football game. “Our team was losing. A child near me commented, ‘Mom, they might as well give up.’ “Such a teachable moment. We only lost by four points. They didn’t give up.” And it’s that spirit that Alma exudes to all who know her. Eighth-grade Emma shared, “I love how strong she is in all that she does and that she just doesn’t give up. She has faith in God that He’s going to take care of her. “She’s affected my life a lot. She supports me with everything I do. She’s the most amazing person I know.”
Daughter Mary Peyton shared, 13 “I truly admire her for being strong. It’s one thing for someone to go through it once, but she has had to go through it twice. It’s made me a better person to look up to someone so brave.” Alma doesn’t understand all the ‘whys’ and ‘what ifs’ of her disease, but she said, “I’ve tried not to define myself by the breast cancer,” and she marches along on her journey, making the most of every moment. With a chuckle, Alma told of a recent lunch with a couple of friends. “When the waitress asked if we wanted dessert, my friends turned her down. I raised my hand and said, ‘I will have the cake! My friends eyed my coconut cake longingly, and I told them, ‘Eat the cake!’ “Soon, all three of us were eating dessert. Life’s too short — eat the cake!” moments | October 2014 | www.statesboromoments.com
required immediate surgery and a week-long hospital stay. During that time, Alma noticed her vision was slightly off, but thought it was related to the kidney issues. When her vision clarity didn’t return after leaving the hospital, Alma saw yet another doctor who saw lesions behind her eye and sent her to a retina specialist. Taking a careful look at her eyes, the doctor said, “You need to call your oncologist.” Alma’s breast cancer had metastasized. Thus began three grueling weeks of radiation to her head and much time in the hospital. “It’s a miracle that I came out of that hospital,” Alma said of the ordeal. That was a little over a year ago. Alma currently receives chemotherapy and continues to fight her disease. Alma’s husband, David, ad-

Enjoy Halloween Fun at Any Age
H
alloween hijinks include dressing up and scouring the neighborhood for free candy. Halloween is the typically the best day of autumn for children who have eagerly been awaiting the sweets freefor-all since the start of the school year. But Halloween is not just for youngsters. Many adults are equally enamored with Halloween, the one day of the year when men and women can don a costume, act silly and let loose for an evening. Some adults may wrestle with the decision to get dressed up for Halloween. But one trip to the costume store can shed light on just how popular Halloween is among adults. Costumes devoted to older Halloween revelers often exceed those set aside for kids. The choice in adult costumes is vast. Dressing up is not right for every occasion, but when done correctly it can enhance the fun of Halloween. Costumes at the workplace may not always be acceptable. It is wise to check with human resources personnel to learn the company policies on costumes. If management announces an in-office costume contest or something similar, then this is an indication that costumes are acceptable. Make sure you understand the parameters of getting dressed up and play by the rules,
Metro Creative Connection
or you could ruin the fun for employees in subsequent years. Steer clear of any costumes that may send inappropriate messages or use off-color language. You never know who might be in attendance at a Halloween party, and certain costumes may be offensive. Choose a costume that fits your personality or one that's the complete opposite of what others would expect you to wear. A Halloween costume allows you to try on a completely different persona for a night. Recognize there are particular costumes for all sorts of popular characters and figures. Then there are the same costumes in risqué versions. Use discretion with regard to how much skin you want to show. Let the type of event (i.e., office Halloween party or gathering with friends) you are attending help determine which costume you wear. Select a comfortable costume. You want to be able to mingle at a Halloween party. Having a costume that constricts movement can impede your ability to have fun. A large, cumbersome costume also might take up too much room in a party space, and you may end up bumping into other guests. Remember to have fun. Embrace looking foolish for one night and wear your costume with pride. If you are confident in the costume you choose, you can pull off just about any outfit and still have a good time.

pounds. The thought alone of playing football gave me concussion symptoms. My wife is lovely but about as coordinated as an electrocution victim on ice skates. Nature may have a great hand in deciding whether Atticus plays football. I digress.) The way I see it, the two sides of the football coin are summed up by one name: Adrian Peterson. I like to finish on a positive note, so why not begin with the Minnesota Vikings’ running back. Peterson was recently charged with child abuse and neglect. Accounts and photos surfaced of the results of Peterson whipping his 4-year-old son with a switch. The “discipline” in question left the child—not much more than a toddler—with welts and open wounds. Parents and adults can have a conversation about the value or lack thereof in using corporal punishment, but anyone who thinks the best way to teach a 4-yearold to behave is by flaying them has clearly departed the reservation. In case you missed the story, Peterson was suspended by his team, reinstated one game later and then, after much public outcry, again suspended. With pay. You know, because lawyers might get involved. And then there is Georgia Southern’s Adrian Peterson. We’ll refer to him as “The Real AP” from this point forward. The Real AP has a son with
a debilitating brain condition. He has been a loving, motivated father leading a stubbornly positive campaign to beat the grave diagnosis. The Real AP has been as much a role model for what fatherhood should be as his far more famous namesake has been a role model for how not to raise a child. And to those of us who know the Real AP, this comes as no surprise. Our Adrian was a leader at Georgia Southern and a respected voice in the Chicago Bears’ locker room for eight years, even when he was relegated to the status as a backup and special teams standout. He was never on the cover of Madden, but he should be on the cover of every parenting magazine in America. So when I step back and think about football, I think of the two

Adrian Petersons. Surely, the whole NFL can’t be as bad as the one in Minnesota. And the league isn’t filled with guys like Georgia Southern’s favorite son, either. In the end, there are too many guys like the former, not enough of the latter (but other good guys, to be sure) and almost everyone else falls somewhere in between. I’m still taking a long look at football. I love the game, warts and all. How it factors into my son’s life is anyone’s guess right now. But as long as people like the Real AP remain associated with the game, I’ll probably be inclined to give it a chance. Scott Garner lives in Statesboro with his wife, son and an assortment of domesticated mammals. Most of the football he played in his life involved flags.

efore I was a dad or a husband, I was a sports writer. Before that, I was sports fan. Before that, I was a kid who just wanted to understand why his father screamed at the television on Sundays and looked depressed on Mondays (Dad was a Falcons fan). Now I’m in my 40's with a kid of my own. Atticus was born on a Friday night and released from the hospital on a Sunday. We left the hospital, took the short drive home and placed our newest family member, still in his special carseat/handbag, on the coffee table in front of the television as the Falcons were kicking off. It’s the circle of life. But something funny is happening to football. Between concussions, money grabs and headline-grabbing stories of misbehavior among players at every level of the game, the sport that captivates so much of the nation has started to pick up a bit of tarnish. Some pundits have begun to wonder aloud if football isn’t going the way of boxing, a formerly ubiquitous sport of glamor and fame that, although it still exists, captures a tiny fraction of the attention it did at the height of popularity. Those pundits are not being laughed out of the room as they might have been even as recently as my own sports writing days, which are not even a decade gone. Yet Atticus loves his oversized Georgia Southern football jersey. He doesn’t complain when Thomas and Friends is preempted by an SEC game. He likes to throw and catch a foam football. But when the time comes, will his mother and I actually allow Atticus to play football? (It is worth noting the role genetics may play in this decision—I graduated high school at 115

A Monthly News Feature From Bulloch Academy
Homecoming, Field Trips and Fall Festival
S
tudents in grades PreKindergarten through 12 start off the month of October by getting the opportunity to show off their school spirit during the annual Homecoming Week activities. While Homecoming at most schools is just for the high-school students, the all-inclusive nature of Bulloch Academy lets middle and elementary-school students join in on the fun. Dressup days, class competitions, cheek cheers and everything Green and Gold will highlight the week. BA alums are invited to spend time at the school to see how it has changed and evolved in its 43 years. The fun week culminates Oct. 3 with the homecoming football game against the Brentwood School from Sandersville and the crowning of the 2014 Homecoming Queen. Bulloch Academy fifth-grade students will take their annual with a three-day, two-night, field trip to the Burton 4-H Center on Tybee Island on October 20-22. This exceptional, hands-on learning adventure combines the barrier-island location with the Georgia Performance Standards to provide an exciting and enriching field study. Classes such as Marsh Ecology, Maritime Forest Ecology, Invertebrate Studies, Squid Dissection, Crabs and Critters, Surf Sleuth, Night Walk equipped students with the perfect opportunities to learn
and apply critical thinking skills as they analyzed and evaluated life on the island eco-system. Class trips are just one of the many reasons why Bulloch Academy is a special educational setting for children from prekindergarten to 12th grade. On the 15th through the 17th, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade will visit local farms to learn about agriculture. Another October opportunity is the Fall Festival. From 4-7 p.m on October 17, the event will be held in and around the school’s circle. This Parent-Teacher Association fundraiser is fun for all ages with games for the children and events like Inflatable Bounce Houses, a Cake Walk, a Duck Pond and other games. There will be snow cones available as well as a Country Store selling homemade baked goods and other items. The Robotics Team will be serving Hot Dog and Hamburger Meals from 5:30-7 p.m. in the cafeteria. Other happenings during the month include: Middle and High School CLP, Oct. 8; Delivery of Coca-Cola Truckload Sales, Oct. 8; Early Release (Noon), Oct. 10; End of First Nine Weeks Grading Period, Oct. 10; Fall Holidays, Oct. 13-14; PSAT for Freshman, Juniors, Oct. 15; Report Cards Issued, Oct. 17; Senior Breakfast at the Copes, Oct. 23; One-Act Play Region Performance, Oct. 30

Benefits of Breast-Feeding health issue. One in 10 women specifically develop depression, the study found, but that number dropped if a woman was able to breast-feed. It betters your baby’s immune system. Worried that your baby might be sick all the time? Breast-feeding has been linked to improving a baby’s immune system, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Mothers pass their antibodies through milk to the children, allowing the baby to build a strong defense system against colds and infections, the APP reported. It builds a relationship between mother and child. The AAP also found that breastfeeding can help strengthen the bond between a child and his or her mother. Closeness is the catalyst in building a strong relationship between parent and child, since the child will feel more protected and adapted to the new world around him or her. It can make your kid smarter. BabyCenter.com, a website run by parenting and baby health experts, found that breast-feeding can boost your child’s intelligence later on down the road. It’s been debated by Baby Center's experts whether it’s the fatty acids that cause this (Reuters says no), or the emotional bond formed between parent and child during the process. It eliminates obesity risks … sort of. In 2013, Time magazine reported
that studies have linked breastfeeding to a decline in obesity risks for children. But this isn’t true in all areas, since a study also found that some born in Belarus did not show significant weight differences to those who drank formula, Time reported. Experts told Time, though, that breast milk allows babies to make better decisions about food in the future, which can help with obesity risks. “Breast milk provides your baby with food that is easy to digest and very nutritious, and your child helps decide how much to eat and when to eat it,” researchers told Time. “Both the breast milk itself and the way your baby feeds help him or her to develop healthy eating patterns. Breast-fed babies seem to be better able to regulate their food intake and thus are at lower risk for obesity.” Kids behave better. A study from the department of sociology at Ohio State University found that kids who are breast-fed are more well-behaved than those who drink formula. The study said this has to do with the kids establishing an emotional bond with both parents. Without that bond, the results would be reversed, the study said. It improves brain development for babies. Getting those nutrients from the mother through breast-feeding helps a baby’s brain develop, according to a study from Brown University. In fact, even when babies are fed both for-
Deseret News mula and breast milk, the results are still better than just formula, the study found. The research for this study was primarily done by looking at MRI scans of the kids’ brains to see how different they were. “MRI images, taken while children were asleep, showed that infants who were exclusively breast-fed for at least three months had enhanced development in key parts of the brain compared to children who were fed formula or a combination of formula and breast milk,” the study said. It can help mothers lose weight. Putting on pounds during pregnancy is no surprise for mothers. But breast-feeding is one way mothers have been trying to tip the scales back in their favor. “Breast-feeding burns extra calories, so it can help you lose pregnancy weight faster,” according to WebMD. It cuts cancer risks for mothers. Babies aren’t the only ones benefiting from the act of breast-feeding. The National Resources Defense Council and the American Cancer Society both said that breast-feeding has the potential to cut back on cancer risks — mostly breast cancer, but also ovarian cancer — for mothers. Mothers can save money. The AAP noted something about breast-feeding that might not be obvious — it’s a cheaper option. Formula can cost between $4 and $10, the AAP noted, which is not as financially appealing as the free cost of milk directly from breast-feeding.
No Link Between Wearing Bras and Breast Cancer
A
lthough past studies and literature have suggested otherwise, researchers are now saying there is not a link between bra wearing and breast cancer. Over the past 20 years, many myths have surfaced that support the idea that wearing bras can lead to breast cancer. In 1991, a case control study found that premenopausal women who didn’t wear bras had a lower risk of breast cancer than women who did wear bras. However, the authors of the study
Deseret News
later said the link was likely caused from factors related to wearing a bra rather than caused by the bra itself, according to a release from the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The women who didn’t wear a bra were often more likely to be lean, which the authors said could have accounted for the lower risk of breast cancer. The book “Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras” was published in 1995 and suggested that bras increase a woman’s risk of cancer because “they hamper the drainage of toxins through the lymph nodes near
the breast,” according to ctvnews.com. Researchers from the Seattle-based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center released a study recently that dispelled past myths. The researchers studied 1,044 postmenopausal women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer between 2000 and 2004. These women were compared with other women without breast cancer and the researchers gathered information on their bra-wearing habits. Researchers said they used postmenopausal subjects for the study
because those women have worn bras the longest and most breast cancers are diagnosed in older women, according to ctvnews.com. “No aspect of bra wearing, including bra cup size, recency, average number of hours/day worn, wearing a bra with an underwire, or age first began regularly wearing a bra, was associated with risks of either invasive ductal carcinoma or invasive lobular carcinoma,” the study says. “Our results did not support an association between bra wearing and increased breast cancer risk among postmenopausal women.”

bout three quarters of American mothers breast-feed. However, the practice is widely debated. Some studies have said the benefits of breast-feeding are “overstated,” especially because some kids don't ever see any of the long-term benefits. Critics have noted that breast-feeding is not necessarily as good as some may think. Others have knocked breast-feeding for its public ties. Deseret News National wrote about one woman who was asked to leave a store in New York for breast-feeding in public, and actress Olivia Wilde’s recent Glamour cover photo of her breast-feeding a child is another example, according to The Los Angeles Times. But, despite these debates and concerns expressed by the media, breast-feeding has been linked to benefits, too. NPR reported a year ago that women are breast-feeding, but there are still plenty of children who are missing out on the benefits despite experts saying it can be helpful for young ones. Here are 10 of those benefits: It cuts depression risk for moms. Breast-feeding was linked to cutting the risk of depression for mothers by a study published in the journal Maternal and Child Health. The study, which looked at 14,000 new mothers, found that women who breast-feed are less likely to develop the mental-

How-to pack a car safely

This is the prime season for road trips, which many people feel are the most affordable vacation option available. They also provide unsurpassed views of the countryside and the ability to slow down and customize the trip as desired. Packing the car for a road trip can be complicated. Although the goal may be to cram as much as possible into the car and get on the road quickly, part of the safety plan for this year’s adventure should include packing properly to avoid injury. Americans drive trillions of miles in any given year. Although it is difficult to make a direct comparison between how many people choose driving as opposed to flying, when comparing data from the Federal Highway Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, for every mile Americans flew they drove about six more in 2011. With so many miles clocked on the road, it is essential to make the experience as safe as possible — and that means properly securing belongings in a vehicle before getting on the road. Unsecured or improperly packed items in a car or truck have the potential to cause serious injury when on the road or, at the very least, may obscure visibility when driving, says Consumer Reports. The organization and others offer drivers a series of tips that can help make travel safer. Adjust tire pressure prior to travel. Consult the owners manual to determine the proper tire pressure when the vehicle is carrying a full load. This will not only help alleviate unnecessary wear and tear on the tires, but also can help to prevent a tire blow-out. Know the car’s limits. It also is important to stay below the maximum permitted weight or maximum load capacity for the car or truck. Consumer Reports says that the capacity for small SUVs can span from 825 pounds to 1,155 pounds. Midsize SUVs may carry anywhere from 900 pounds to 1,405 pounds. Minivan capacities can vary significantly as well. The load capacity is specified in the owner’s manual. Store the heaviest items at the lowest, most central part of the vehicle. This helps reduce effects on handling that can lead to problems with steering or braking. Drivers should keep the overall center of gravity lower to help reduce the risk of rollover. Make sure everything is secured in the car or truck. Use crates or boxes to house smaller items. Use straps or rope to tie down anything loaded in the back of a truck or SUV to the vehicle’s cargo anchors. Load as much as you can into a car’s trunk to avoid having loose items rolling around inside the passenger area. Keep a clear view of mirrors and the rear of the vehicle. Do not pack any items higher than the level of the rear seats. Not only can these items fly forward Come in today for great tire selection and expert service. in the event of sharp braking or a crash, but they also may obscure the driver’s view of the road. Invest in a roof rack or cargo box. Only place light items on the roof of the car so you can free up interior space. Secure roof items tightly, as they will be caught by the updraft while driving and you do not want to send them airborne and onto the roadway. Also, if you do use the roof for storage, be aware of how much Nevil Tire Service taller the items will make 600 Northside Dr W.

ctober brings pumpkins, characters and parades in several of Bulloch County’s elementary schools as a unique way to promote reading and literacy. Parents are invited to be involved with these fun-filled events. In Brooklet the community will pack the streets of downtown to support the 19th Annual Brooklet Elementary School Pumpkin Parade Friday, Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. Smiling faces from each of the school’s kindergarten through fifth grade classes will proudly pull their pumpkin characters in little wagons. And these aren’t just any pumpkins, but ones elaborately decorated to resemble characters from books the children have read in school. Set to music and narrated by BES Media Specialist Belinda Davis, the parade gives students a chance to show their book-themed costumes while escorting their pumpkins on foot. BES Principal Marlin Baker, who joins his office staff in dressing as famous literary characters, said, “The parade is a tradition and it serves as one of the school’s largest community outreaches, with parents and grandparents always providing wonderful support, and a creative way we encourage reading.” The school is near the heart of downtown Brooklet, a location that local citizens helped ensure when the school’s new building was built in 1999 so the parade tradition could be kept alive. The flurry of fall activity will also be found at Portal, Stilson and Langston Chapel Elementary Schools as they host book character parades, read-a-thons and pumpkin character carving contests. Each school’s media center is a hub of activity throughout the year with programs like Accelerated Reader and Reading is Fundamental. Fall, however, proves a great time of year to give special visual emphasis to reading by bringing books to life with dress-up and decorating opportunities.

My mother-in-law, Paulette Neal, was affectionately known as “Paul”. She taught us to give without hesitation, celebrate everything and love without condition. I created Paul’s Angel in February 2005 in support of her fight against stage four lung cancer. My idea was simple: design an angel, have the kids decorate it and sell each one with all of the proceeds going to help fight cancer. This was our way of “helping Paul”. Today our small family project has grown into an annual fund raising effort. Each angel is laser cut from metal. All of the materials, labor and shipping cost are donated by Southern Metalcraft Inc. out of Lithonia, Georgia. This is my brother, Greg Williams, business. Angels are decorated by hundreds of people in and around Statesboro. Angels have been shipped across the United States and overseas. 100% of the purchase price supports the Statesboro Bulloch County Breast Cancer Foundation. Paul passed away in September 2005.

F
or retired school teacher Susan Jackson, life these days is filled with acting, working backstage and choosing costumes and props for community theatre productions at the Averitt Center for the Arts. She also plays hand bells at her church and takes acting, tap dancing and ceramics classes—but a close call with breast cancer in 2010 could have changed all that. The Tifton native is a breast cancer survivor who has been in remission for four years. Here, she tells the story of how she learned she had breast cancer, her reaction and how she’s overcoming the disease. I always avoided getting a mammogram each year, or when the doctor prescribed it. I never took the time to bother with it. One day my left breast became very sore and I was in constant pain. I had always heard that breast cancer isn’t painful. The lumps that don’t hurt are the ones that are cancerous. So, I ignored the lump and the soreness. To me, it was just something I was going to have to learn to live with. After about six months I decided to see my doctor, and she sent me to the imaging center that day. The following week a biopsy was done and a week later, I had a bi-lateral mastectomy. I was diagnosed with triple negative invasive ductal breast cancer. When I received the news I immediately began to make arrangements for surgery and taking care of business at work. I come from a very strong family and we just always do what we have to do to survive. The one thing I did not do was fret and feel sorry for myself. The only thing I could think about was getting well. I did everything my oncologist told me to do and I maintained a positive

attitude, even when the chemo made me so very sick. I didn’t fight it. I just went with the flow and slept and ate when I needed to. I tried to go back to work two weeks after my surgery, but I developed a pulmonary embolism which was much more painful than the surgery. My daughter took me to the emergency room and I was in the Intensive Care Unit for several days. The doctor told her she might want to call my family. I almost died from that, and all my family and friends came to see me in the hospital. Little did I know they were there to say their goodbyes. It was not my time. In any case, since I had 37 years of work in the Teacher Retirement System of Georgia, I decided to retire and focus on being well. That was in 2010 and I have been in remission for four years. Dr. Haberman, my oncologist, said he will dismiss me when I am 70, provided it does not re-occur. I am not anticipating that at all." Throughout her diagnosis, Jackson says she never felt like she was fighting the battle alone. She credits her two sisters, her brother, her daughter and all her family and friends with giving her the strength and support she needed to make it through the challenging time. Her sisters and her daughter took turns going to the doctor with her for treatment, and friends stayed overnight in the hospital. “The one thing that was so touching was my dear friends came over from Savannah and stayed with my daughter and sister during the long surgery,” she said. “I remember my dear friend, Alysa, staying with me in the hospital so my daughter Jennifer, could go back to work.” Aside from putting her family first – she has
two children, Jennifer, 37; Jeremy, 36 and one 13-year-old grandson, Joshua – today, she says she’s most passionate about improving her acting skills and promoting the arts in the Statesboro community. “There are not many communities the size of Statesboro that have the quality and the amount of opportunities offered to their citizens, particularly the youth," she said. "It’s very impressive.” This past spring, Jackson directed The Velveteen Rabbit with the Statesboro Youth Theater. She also works part-time at the Averitt Center for the Arts where she serves as administrative assistant to the executive director, and is involved with the center’s fundraising capital campaign. Jackson’s appreciation for life shows in the way she lives it. She says material things are no longer important to her now and that, ultimately, the love of friends and family is all there is and all she’ll ever need. “When you are faced with your own mortality, your priorities change significantly,” she said. “I treasure the little things in life and I take nothing for granted.” You go, girl!

What are the horrors of Halloween? Many might say encountering a gruesome ghoul or a blood-sucking vampire is the most horrific part of Halloween. However, an allergic reaction can be just as scary as ghosts and goblins come Halloween. The candy a child eats, the makeup kids use as part of their costumes or even the costume itself can cause an allergic reaction. Parents and kids need to be careful and exercise their due diligence to avoid possible allergens. Makeup According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Halloween makeup can trigger an allergic reaction or symptoms of asthma. Inexpensive makeup may contain preservatives that can cause a rash and swelling of the skin. Formaldehyde is a very common preservative used in many of these products, but some products labeled “formaldehyde-free” can still cause allergic reactions. Certain makeup is not advisable to use around the mouth or eyes, so be certain to check all packaging for any warnings. High-quality theater makeup may be a better option than the cheap crayon sticks sold at costume stores. In any event, always test makeup on a small area of the skin well in advance of Halloween. If a rash or any abnormality occurs, do not use the makeup. Costumes Costumes can induce an allergic reaction as well. If costumes are older and packed away in a basement or attic, trapped dust and dust mites can make it difficult for those with allergies or asthma to breathe. Accessories used for many common Halloween costumes also may cause reactions. Crowns, magic wands and faux jewelry that uses metals like nickel may cause rashes and irritation. Beware of nickel and cobalt, which can trigger allergic reactions. Decorations Those who want to create a spooky environment at their Halloween parties should be advised that fog machines can trigger asthma attacks in some people. It’s best to check with party attendants before firing up the fog machine. Edible treats Food allergies abound in children and adults. Many commercially produced candy and chocolate bars are manufactured in factories that also process peanuts and other tree nuts, so exercise caution with treats. Baked goods may contain wheat, gluten, eggs, soy, and any number of other food allergens. It’s wise to have a variety of inedible treats available for trick-or-treaters or partygoers, including stickers, pencils and small toys. Halloween should be an enjoyable day for the young and the young at heart. This beloved holiday can be made safer by avoiding common allergy triggers.

Did you know that all recipes that call for canned pumpkin can be made even more tasty by using roasted pureed fresh pumpkin? Though it require some pre-planning, the process is quite easy. Just cut a small pie pumpkin (or any winter squash you may find a the Market) in half or fourths, remove the seeds, place flesh-side down in a baking pan with a little water in the bottom, and roast at 350 for 45-60 minutes until it is quite mushy. Then, scoop out the flesh and mash with a potato masher or put in food processor with additional water if needed. A can of pumpkin is usually 1-3/4 cup of roasted pumpkin. You can freeze the remainder in this increment to use in the future.
Pumpkin Waffles 1-1/2 cups flour 1 tbsp. baking powder ½ tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. Verdant Kitchen ground ginger ¼ tsp. salt
2 eggs from Market, separated ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 cup pureed pumpkin 1-2/3 cup Swiss Dairy milk 4 tbsp. Swiss Dairy butter, melted
1. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. 2. n a second bowl, beat egg yolks, sugar, pumpkin, milk and butter. 3. Mix into flour mixture. 4. Beat egg whites until frothy and soft peaks form. 5. Fold into mixture. Cook according to waffle iron directions. 6. Serve with additional butter and cane syrup.

Know how much you use! Start paying attention to how many bottles of shampoo, packs of diapers, boxes of cereal, etc., you use. This will help you have a better idea of how much you should buy and not go overboard. If you only eat one box of cereal a month, there really is no need to buy more than a few boxes at a time; any more than that will just go to waste.
