Its summer in NorthwestGeorgia, and with thatcomes so much morethan the humidity weSoutherners are conditionedto endure. Dreams o a well-deserved vacation drawthe actual event closer eachday. Weekends at the lake,kids of to camp, steaks onthe grilljust a ew o thesimple pleasures that comewith this otherwise grueling,sweat-soaked season.
Tis months edition oV3 Magazinemarks our our-year anniversary as
Northwest Georgias Premier Feature Reader, and over these past 48 months(this issue being our 49th) we have had the opportunity to cover so manymeaningul stories and meet so many wonderul people. Tis June is nodierent. In act, this edition oV3 oers a nely, evenly distributed example o
just the kind o high-caliber Georgians we aim to highlight; not to mention therange o organizational and community-based programs that make our regionsuch a spectacular place to call home.
Granted, its a smaller issueas oten tends to be the case in summerbutwhat it lacks in girth, it no doubt makes up or in punch. For example, be sure
to check out the eature on Georgia Northwestern echnical Colleges resh-rom-the-oven Culinary Arts program, which seems to have geared itsel towardproviding our ood and beverage industry with wave upon wave o bright newcooking bus. Neal Howards in-depth interview with author/V producerextraordinaire, Eric Haney, who grew up in Lindale as a matter o act, is one othe best Q&As weve ever run, and contains a wealth o insider ino about showbusiness that you may never have known otherwise. Ten, o course, there is thecover story, seen through the lens o Lookout Mountain Boys Camp in MentoneAla.
Also included in our June mag: J. Bryant Steeles outstanding new businesscolumn, Cents & Sensibility, Harbin Clinics monthly ake on Health, and aquick look back to Mays Roman Roast on the River, via our resuscitated andrevitalized While You Were Sleeping department.
Te time has come to crank up the AC units, stock up on bug repellent and
break out your swimsuits, olks. And I can assure you, we here at V3 lookorward to sweating it out with you beneath that angry old Georgia sun. (Wellbring the reading material.)
Tanks again or our antastic years. See you all next month with our specialedition 50th issue.

potential career out o catering, cooking orbaking dont have to venture too ar romhome to get their culinary lives o to asizzling start.

But GNC Culinarysexecutive che and program director, GregPaulson, a top-honors graduate rom theCulinary Institute o America in HydePark, New York, was aorded the luxuryo staying in each or longer than a ew
nights. Paulsons serious skills scored himenviable, resum-riendly jobs in all o theaorementioned cities, and or the nine yearsprior to taking on his most recent challenge,he lled the same role or Romes CoosaCountry Club. Swanky hotels, our-starrestaurants, private clubs, ritzy resorts, youname it: Paulson has been there, diced that.
Tese days, however, he has made it hismission to ensure that the next generationo young ches learn the culinary arts world

made fresh daily.Your food was
down to the last morsel, including not justhow to wield a steady knie, but also howto detly execute business-related taskssuch as ood purchasing, proper sanitation,remaining mindul o diner nutrition, and
the best way to develop a palatable menu.Students wont be learning their crat in adrab classroom, either. Instead, theyll behoning their chops inside the charming andhistoric Woodlee House, which, thoughoriginally constructed in 1903, has nowbeen completely renovatedbetter yet,reimaginedby GNC and its veteranche. Paulson hand-picked every detail othis so-called classroom, rom the plates tothe paint colors and upholstery abrics, tocreate precisely the cutting-edge learninglaboratory he had envisioned. He recallsthat ater being given the green light todesign the labs at GNC, he took his
time compiling the necessary research,scrutinizing labs at other schools andspeaking with their culinary directors inorder to devise the best possible space orhis uture pupils.
I wanted to determine what [thoseschools would do dierently i given theopportunity to build rom the ground up],says Paulson. Te result: We have a state-o-the-art acility and all-new equipment,rom small wares such as pots and pans tomajor appliances. Everything is 100 percentbrand new.
Another actor making this culinaryprogram unique to competing institutes isthat we are located next to the horticulture
department, and they will be [growing] reshherbs and produce or us, which will bebenecial to their students, as well as ours.
Budding ches will receive the latestinstruction in undamentals, techniquesand theoretical approaches to cooking
through a combination ohands-on class trainingand traditional classroomlearning. Te currentcurriculum includes ahelping o both regionaland international cuisinesas well, so that studentswill be duly equipped ora variety o positions inthe culinary job market.And with so much mediaemphasis nowadays
being placed on bettering the nutrition andoverall health o Americans, culinary jobopportunities can be expected to increaseas school lunchrooms, nursing homes andhospital caeterias look or new ways to
meet these elevated standards. o boot,under the auspices o the American CulinaryFederation Educational Institute, programgraduates are eligible to become certiedater one year o approved work experience.
GNC Culinary oers degree anddiploma course paths, and anyone rombeginner to expert is encouraged to signon. Che Paulson says, depending on thestrengths and talent o given student, thosewho enter the program as beginners canexpect to pin down work as line or pastrycooks ollowing graduation, while moreadvanced students who also excel in theclassroom will likely nd employment as
head or sous ches.For those looking to simply sharpen theirskills a bit, as opposed to making a careero it, continuing education classes hosted atthe Woodlee House may be just the ticket.Choose rom an assortment o coursesincluding Flavors o Italy, ScrumptiousBrunches, Grilling, Broiling and Smoking,Knie Skills Workshop and/or BasicCooking or Busy People. Girls Night Outclasses are also available, primarily designedor smaller groups o riends looking to puta new spin on an age-old concept. Costs orthese supplemental courses range rom $45to $295, and vary in the time required tocomplete them. VVV

the ironishot
As a young boy, you lionize the exploits oa veteran soldier on the feld o battle. Asa young man, you envy the work ethic.
Fresh rom completing the second novel in his Kennesawanner series, Lowcountry, Command Sergeant Major
Eric Haney (Ret.) isnt suering the sort ocreative hangover one might expect rom a soter, less vettedartist. In act, when I catch up with him in the second-foorwriting quarters o his Cave Spring home, Haney is clearly onthe grind, haggling with some bigwig or another by phone.
No, thatll be ne, he tells the mystery player, beckoning meinside with an open palm and a muted,Hi, be right with ya.
Reusing to make the same mistake so many jihadists andguerillas surely have, I oblige, sweetening my contrition with asmile.
Most olks across Northwest Georgia are no doubt amiliarwith Haneys achievements by now, namely his breakout NewYork imes Bestseller,Inside Delta Force: Te Story o Americas

[V3:]Whichwould you say ismore difcult,commandingreal-lie soldiersin combat orconvincingDon Cheadle to
weaponize hisVariable TreatResponse BattleSuit?
[EH:](Laughs)Tats a pretty easyone, because hehad to do it in themovie. [Cheadle]had to ollow thescript.
Well, that certainly helps. What can youtell us about Major General Meade, the
character you play inIron Man 2
?Don Cheadle plays the number two leadin the movie, Lt. Col. Rhodes, an Air Forceocer, and in the scene that I have, I am hiscommander. Basically, [Meade] comes inand coerces Rhodes into doing somethingthat he doesnt really want to do.
Meades motivation being?As he says, Itll get the Senate o my a.
As a writer who dabbles in acting, letsmove away rom the character yourecently played onscreen to the one
you recently brought to bookshelvesnationwide: Kennesaw anner. Fill our
readers in on the lead protagonist romNo Mans Land, the rst installment romyour new ction series.Kennesaw anner has a background inBlack Operations with the military and thegovernment, and he has parted companywith the government rom what appears
to be a mutual satisaction [or each to seethe other] go away. So he has a real disdainor authority, given that, in his experience,power always corrupts, and that those in
positions o power so oten act or their ownvenal means rather than or the good othose they should be [acting on behal o].So, he has a visceral, knee-jerk reaction toanybody in a position o power or authority.
Tats not to say hes a rebel. Hescertainly a thinking man. But hes on theside o the powerless, and he uses his ability,skill and knowledge to help aid and supportthe powerless.
Situationally speaking, given yourown history with U.S. Special Ops, howmuch o your experience is channeled viaanner?
Well, or [someone with my career history],to write action is like alling o a log. Its avery, very easy thing to do. And inNo MansLandthere is a good deal o action or allmy action junkies, but its not mindlessaction. He uses violence reluctantly andwith regret. In act, something he is alwaysworking out with himsel as a human is,Why does it always seem that I wind up inthese positions?
He has a spiritual guide that we nd inbook number two (Lowcountry, scheduledor release Dec. 7, 2010), and shes aGeechee woman, an aged woman wholives on Dauuskie Island. Shes one o the
characters I use as a mirror into who thisman is.
Is she a sort o moral [anchor] or anner?Yes, as one thats helping validatecalibratehis moral compass.
I was just reading through it againyesterdayand I read that passage whereanner is with her, and I just marveled at it.At rst when I was writing it , I didnt eel Iwas getting across to the reader what I wastrying to conveyI oten eel that wayandas a writer youre just saying,I I could justget 75 percent across o what I eel inside andwhat Im trying to express on the page, Imdoing good.
Ten there are those times when yourereally up there, almost at a 100 percent,and its almost like the gods o writing arecoming through you. Ill go back and readthose [passages] and say,My God, who wrotethis? Where did that come rom?Because Igot it across
As a child growing up in working-classLindale, who would you say was your ownmoral anchor?Family, community, church, all o that;
though still I foundered. I didnt have anyreal, strong exemplar to look to, but Iveoten thought that was good because Iwasnt overwhelmed by [anyone]. I didnttake on anyone elses persona and replicateit.
Ten I went into the Army when Iwas 17, so there were other examples: mysergeants, my platoon sergeants, et al.
Did your parents happen to work at theold cotton mill?My mother worked atthe mill as a weaver or anumbers o years. In act,I
worked at the mill in highschool. Went to school,worked second shit at themill my junior year intomy senior year. And mydaddy had worked therebeore the war, just beorehe was drated in 1943.
Te cotton mill wasvery important to thatcommunity, as you know. Imean, it was the economiccenter. And my people,the Haneysand evenmy mothers side o the
amilyhad all gravitatedtowards Rome in the timeo the First World War towork in the cotton mills....My grandparents onboth sides met workingin those mills. And thearmers in this regionin that periodsmallarmers, sharecroppersthey would arm thesummer and raise cottonin the all. Once the cottonwas picked, theyd go oto work in the mill or thewinter.
You mentioned yourather beore the war.So you werent a rst-generation soldier, then?No, no, no. Folks aroundhere, this is always the rst

drat. My ather was in the Second WorldWar in New Guinea, his brothers were allinthe Second World War, the closingdays o the war. His youngest brother was
in Korea, both o my grandathers were inthe First World War. Its the thing aroundhere.
Memories rom your service with [DeltaForce] ultimately became the springboardor your writing career. Did that urgebegin to bubble up while you were servingor ater the act?I dont know i Ive ever had the urge tobe a writer. Ive always been a storyteller,
but again thats something cultural romthe years o the oral tale, something thatsalways been a big part o our heritage. Youknow, the Scots-Irish, and coming rom
a long line o illiterate people. And it wasentertainment as a boy growing up. Sitaround with the old olks around the re,even the older neighborswould sit aroundand just tell stories So, I have a naturalability rom that.
Te Army taught me so much interms o travel and languages... In SpecialOperations I went to the greatest languageschool in the world, the Deense LanguageInstitute, and I read, write and speak
Spanish fuently at a native universitygraduate level. Some o my avorite authorsare Isabel Allende and Mario Vargas Llosa,whos a Nobel laureate. And when you speak
and read another language, it opens anotherworld to you, and other cultures, otherpeople.
Te big thing is: I you are a careersoldier, i you will show that you want it andcan take it, the Army will continually giveyou opportunities and responsibilities. Oneo those is ormal military schooling, andit teaches you how to be a good studentwhich I wasnt. I was a piss-poor student.My parents only went through elementary

school, so they didnt knowhow to [help] you orm studyhabits But the Army said,By God, up here were goingto teach you how to become astudent. And part o that toois, as you become sergeant, thesergeants are the trainers andthe teachers, so you go throughyears o courses and cumulativeyears o study on how to be atrainer, how to be a teacher
Ater you [retire rom] themilitary, what prompts youto writeInside Delta Force,
your rst New York imesBestseller?
I retired in 1990 right aterour little war in Panama, andI stayed in Panama or almosta year, hung up my shingle asa Delta Force or hire. Tis islong beore Blackwater and theBeltway Bandits. And I had noteven retired, I was on terminalleave, and I had a contractto Colombia to negotiate theransom and exchange o an oilcompany executive who hadbeen kidnapped. He had beenheld or about a year, and thecompany was nally ready to
negotiate to recover him.I did that in Colombia,and or the next six or sevenyears there was bodyguardwork, training or oreigngovernments, government-sponsored contracts. Somewere in Latin America. I hadthe president o elmex (Mexicos leadingtelephone company) as a client and I builta bodyguard sta or him. He had risen tothe top o a kidnap list, and his insurancecarrier said that i elmex didnt put credibleprotection on him, they wouldnt pay the
ransom i he was kidnappedTen I did a long contract overseas in
Algeria, and when I came back rom that[my wie] Dianna and I were together andwe married.
Its peculiar how the universe willshove you ina direction, Ithink. I wasvery successulat what I wasdoing; I wasone o six oreight men in
the world who did that, and a lot o mywork came rom insurance companies. AIGhad the kidnapping policy on this [elmex]executive. Same thing in Algeria: I woundup working or a protection program ora pipeline construction project that wentacross [the country], and when they rststarted work they had their main campusattacked by Algerian guerillas. Te Algerianpolice guard was slaughtered, then theguerillas came in and hunted down theWesterners in the camp and executed them.Te insurance carrier on that one said to putcredible protection on it or were yanking

Its unny, each year I was still in highdemand, but each yearI was earningexactly hal o what I had the previous year,and it was approaching zero. I had threeyears in a row where it was just boom-boom-boom, then I [began losing] contractsto charlatansknown charlatans
o pass the time, I wrote a story on ourraid into Iran, the hostage rescue attemptback in 1980. Several people had asked meabout it, so I wrote the story o it. It wasabout 40 pages, and any time someonewould ask about what had happened there,Id just hand them a copy Ten I startedhaving queries, you know,Hey, could yousend me a copy o that?
It was coming up on the 20 th anniversaryo the [Iran hostage crisis] and I thought,Im gonna nd a way to publish this. Ididnt know howmaybe a magazine orsomethingso I started sending it out. Ialways got rejections, so I just kept sendingit out. We were living in Atlanta and I sentit in a proposal letter to urner Networksthinking, Ol ed urner likes this kindastuf. Maybe, at that point, it couldve been aeature documentary or something like that.And I got a rejection letter rom them, likeall the rest o them, but in this one it saidand this is almost exactly rom the nalparagraphOh, by the way, i you see that
we produce this, we didnt steal it rom you.I said, Sons-a-bs are gonna steal it!
Now, what am I missing?, and I kept seeingsomething about agents, how they onlyaccept submissions rom registered agents.Ok, thats it: I need to nd an agent.
So, I set out on my track to do that. Iwont go into my screwy criteria I use, butpart o it had to do withgood addresses inNew York and L.A. I always sent things outin packets o our, so I sent to two to L.A.,two to New York, and wound up with mycurrent literary agent, Frank Wyman, whodhad more bestsellers in the last 10 years thananyone.
I had, without knowing exactly whatI was doing, written what was called aquery letter. I had also met the criteriaor proposals, which is the submission oat least one sample chapter, et cetera. So,we wound up with [Inside Delta Force] atRandom House, it became a bestseller in 14
or so dierent languages, and I was able toturn that into the television showTe Unit.
Did urner ever produce the rip-of theyalluded to in their rejection letter?Nah, they didnt do anything.
How did the idea or producingTe Unitcome together, exactly?I was ending o movie oers because Iwanted to do a television series, but I hadno idea how to go about it, so I was just kindo slow walking on movie oers. But I wasstill talking to some production companies.Ten, David Mamet called. He was workingon the movie Spartan with Val Kilmer andhe had just read my book. He called me andsaid,Hey, rom one writer to another: Love
your book. Its great stuf. Were doing thismovie, so would you come work on the moviewith me?
I said,As a what?He said,Anything you want to.So he overnighted me the script, I read
it and said, Wow, how is he getting this?How does he comprehend this world?I thinkDavid thought it better just to hire me thanto plagiarize straight out o my book.
Anyway, I had worked with [Mamet]on script revisions; I worked as a technicalconsultant on the lm; worked with ValKilmer as a trainer and general technical/military advisor on mannerisms, et cetera.
David is a big one or writing a scene rightas theyre shooting , so hed stop and say, Ok,Eric, what are we gonna say? What are wegonna do? Whats the dialogue?And hed sitthere with his little electric typewriter on anupturned barrel and Id dictate somethingor the scene.
As we were nishing the lm, I washaving meetings in Hollywood. Id go tothese companies and theyd say, Yeah, wellwhat would you do on a movie?
And Id say,I dont want to do a movie, Iwant to do a television series.
Teyd say, We dont do television, werethe eature lm department.
Ten, when we were on our last day ortwo oSpartan, Dave and I were going to theset one morning and he said, What are yougonna do with your book?
I said,Dave, I wanna do a televisionseries but I dont know how to go about it,how to grab this thing.(continued on pg. 32)

He called his agent and said,Hey, this ismy riend Eric. He wants to do a television
series. Ive told you about him.Tat was the rst step. Ten I had atutorial rom this agent on how you get into[the television] business, and the rst lessonwas you cant get into television unlessyoure already into television, which is prettytrue. Ten he said, You need a showrunner.
I said, Great!Whats a showrunner?So he told me, and I said, Great! Where
do you nd em?He said,I have a guy in mind.
So what is a showrunner?Te showrunner runs the show. Hes thecommander o the operation. Hes always awriter; hes the senior writer. Anything I doin my uture, I will be my showrunner, Ill bethe creator.
Tis is one. (Points to a large, white dry-erase board on the ar wall. Outlined arethe characters, working character names,and basic descriptions o each or a new
television series involvingthe C.I.A.) Im doing thiswith ribeca, RobertDeNiros company. Teycame to me with a concept,so I have created the story,the characters and the ideaor the pilot. (Stands up,
walks over to the board.)So these are my characters,the principal characters,and well be pitching thisin probably two to threeweeks
So this project is still in its inant stages?
Oh gosh, yeah. ribeca has a relationshipwith one o the major networks, so wellpitch it to that one rst
Which network is that?CBS. Tey have the rst look at anythingrom ribeca.
Obviously I dont know what this seriesis about, but I have always wondered:As a writer/creator, do you think thatcrating a show or network V hampers[the shows range] at all, given the stricterFCC standards placed on networks? TeUnit, or example, was a show involving aline o work thats graphically violent by
nature, but there is only so much you canshow on VWell, what is it that you want to [accomplishwith a show]?
I dont have a show, so you tell me. What
is your goal?My goal is to make a living. I would say iyou want to make art, make art on your owntime; dont expect somebody else to pay orit. I want to make a living, and you have toknow your audience. I do it with my novels;I have an audience in mind.
On this [new] television series, i we can
get it on broadcast, you make three timesthe money you make on cable. Saying and s and showing somebodys a isntthat important to me. And Ill tell you, asa writer, thats lazy writing. Youre usingtitillation in place o action and story.
Sometimes theres a place or it. I haveanother series that Ive created that has
to be on cable because its very darkandI could never do it on network televisionand do what I want to do with it. Tere is abit o proanity, slight nuditybut not orthe nuditys sake, its necessary or that onescene. And I can tell that story on cable, butI could never tell it on broadcast network.
I can tell this story, though. (Points backto the dry-erase board.) Its drama. Terellbe lighthearted portions o it. Because youhave to keep in mind who your audience isthat watches broadcast televisionand youprovide a product or that audience.
Somebody that says, Oh, Im limited!well, youre limited in some ashion oranother by the ormat that youre using, nomatter what.
I orced to pigeonhole them, howwould you describe the typical audiencemember/reader whos readNo Mans
Land, the rst Kennesaw anner book?
...If you want to makeart, make art on yourown time; dont expectsomeone else to pay
for it. I want to make aliving, and you have toknow your audience.

Te one whos going to stay with this series...is not going to be a non-thinker. Teyre notjust reading or comic book [entertainment].
Reading a novel is an investment in itsel.Reading is that; readers are that. Teyinvest themselves in it. Teyre a little morespiritualnot religious spiritualaboutthings: the human spirit, how we viewourselves, dierent layers o society and howwe act in society, how we treat one anotherand also the rest o the world.
In my rst [anner] book, I take him tosome very oreign characters and peoples,and he lives with them and hes verycomortable with them. Part o the purposeis to show my readers, the average Americanreader, that these people are like you. You
cant say that they are dierent, hence, nothuman, and were seeing more and moreo that [mindset] in our country. Regardlesso language and religion, basically were allabout the same; we want the same things.So, anner moves through those dierentlevels o society, cultures, races.
In act, one o the things Ive never doneis describe what anner looks likeandpurposeully. Te closest I have come wasin book oneand this is purposeulwhenhes having an interaction with a policedetective, a woman, and he turns aroundand says,Im amazed at how tall she is. Shelooks about 61, 62, and she just about looks
me straight in the eye. So, the only thingyoull ever know about anner is that he isaround six eet tall.
Tats somewhat o a throwback to mid20th-century ction, wouldnt you say?Not a whole lot o word count wastedon the physical description o theprotagonist. Instead, the authors justkind o let you, the reader, orm your ownimage o him or her.Yes, and so I dont concentrate on [detailso anners appearance]. My other ones, Illgive you just enough o what they look likewhere I think its important, with very littlewardrobe. Some writers I admire greatly
will go on and on and on about what theyrewearing.
With some writers, thats a skill in itsel:burning words and pages.
But I accomplished what I wanted, Ithink, because I did an interview with the
Savannah Morning Newsanner is basedin Savannahand the young lady, when Itold her that, rattled o the description she
had ormed in her own mind.
Did it mirror your own at all , or do youeven have one?I sort o do, but she rattled it o like da-da-da-da And thats what I want, or theaudience to orm their own opinions.
Its sort o like, (Laughs) i youre black,what color is Jesus? Ten you go to a whiteBaptist church and he looks like a whiteguy rom around here, just with longer hair.Whoever that reader is, I want them to ndthat exemplar o this good man, this heroictype, with whatever foats in their minds.
Its like when Im in Latin America and
I set up a meeting with someone Ive nevermet beore, and theyll say, What do youlook like?Ill say, You know that picture oa gringo that you have in your mind? Tatsme.
You have to know your audience, andthen you hopeyou hopethey like it...
Is there something else out there youhavent achieved thus ar, career-wise,that youd like to beore you cash in your
chips?Tis is the business that I want to be in. Ilove this business. I love the creative aspectas a writer, I love the production side oit, the television work, the physical side oit, working with the various departments,set design/construction, stunts and specialeects coordination.
I really enjoythe business side o it also,and thats where the real challenges are.Dealing with the networks, the studios andthose places, even the non-creative peoplewho are the gatekeepers in those places.Writers in the business always complainabout them and, or some, their complaints
are valid. For others, their complaints arenot valid, and you have to remember whosputting up the money to make this happen.
My objective: I want to have anotherhit television show. I want to do another hittelevision series and keep it out there or aew good years. VVV

Spreading his ashes was the request oJerry Montgomery o Greenwood, Miss.,a camper and later a counselor in the1960s and 1970s at Lookout MountainCamp or Boys. I cant place a value onmy experiences spending my summersat Lookout ... they are invaluable,Montgomery wrote to the camp, whichdraws boys rom all over the Southeast.
Jerry passed away in March 2008. Its nothard to imagine that, perhaps, he heard thecamp bell toll 19 times at Vespers in hismemory, because he had heard the bell sooten in his youthul summers there. Tebell helps campers ollow a schedule, teachesyoung boys to inject order into their lives,and peals itsel into so many memories.Monday through Saturday, the bell startsor wakeup at 7:15; it rings a second time 30minutes later or everyone to gather at the

In 1928, a man had a vision, and heacted upon it. Te result o that vision hasimpacted boys all the way into the nextcentury, says Millard B. Morrison, Sr.,owner and director o the camp. Tat manwas my great-grandather, and his visionwas Lookout Mountain Camp or Boys. Hesaid he wanted to help provide the youth o
America with a oundation upon which togrow.
My grandather stated over 50 years agothat i youre looking or a place to parkyour boy or the summer with no concernor his well-being, youve come to the wrongplace. My ather has said all his lie that theone thing Lookout Mountain Camp doesntdo is operate like a machine. All three othese men were and are right, and they areall saying the same thing. Lookout MountainCamp provides a clean, healthy environmentupon which a boy can grow his condence,wisdom, maturity and a strong belie inhimsel and his abilities, Morrison says.
A boya young manmight start tond a career calling in several o LMCsnumerous activities, as well as the skillsand associated lessons they bring: archeryand skeet shooting, hand-eye coordination.Basketball, tennis, battle ball, sotball,volleyball: when to swat, when to swingand when to pass to a teammate.

on horseback a tract on the east orko Little River, just east o Mentone,Ala. He had a dream to build a summercamp or boys. He soon purchased thesite he desired on Lookout Mountain.
A lodge was built on the blus aboveLittle River, and the camp was born.Following were 24 log cabins, a dininghall, gym, rife range, archery range,barn and utility buildings most owhich are still in use today.
Te camp is or any boy aged 7 to15. Each camp session oers optional,age-appropriate day trips and shortexcursions around the Southeast.
Its not a privileged camp, but itsa privilege to go to our camp, Maplessays. You build relationships that willlast a lietime.
Morrison adds, We do it in aconscientious, nurturing environmentthat has been time-tested. Our stais hand-picked with care, and we
provide a physical environment unmatchedanywhere else. Our camp program is
designed with the campers benet in mind.We do not just play games and go home. AtLMC, campers thrive. We have operated thecamp or more than 80 years and the resultsare still the same. A boys time spent atLookout Mountain Camp will stay with himor the rest o his lie.
Jerry Montgomerys son, Will, asked i hecould have a private ceremony at LMC tospread his athers ashes. Te camp said itwould be honored to do so, and at the nextVespers, the bell rang in Jerry Montgomerysmemory.
But why 19 times? Add up the numeralsin 1972, the year Jerry Montgomery won
the camps Uncle Charlie award or bestcounselor. Tat sort o tribute comes roma place that holds its memories dear to theheart. VVV

CENTS&SENSIBILITY
re we, as a result o this recession,going to evolve into another way
o thinking in terms o using our money?Te current way is relatively new, courtesyo post-World War II prosperity. Savingmoney was still a good idea, but borrowingmoney to buy stu, like cars and appliances,became sexier.
Housing? Brand-new cookie-cuttersubdivisions, and the banks will give you amortgage.
echnological innovations? Just as everyteenager today has to have a cell phone, thepost-war teens hadto have record playersand transistor radios. (For younger readers,the transistor radio was like an iPod, exceptthat it was somewhat bigger and you had to
listen to whatever was on the radio ratherthan downloading your avorite tunes. Buti you were really good at manipulating thatnow-primitive device, you could keep upwith the World Series during social studiesclass.)
Western Europe and developing nationsacross the planet, to varying degrees andtimelines, began to ollow this model oborrowing and spending. Debt, which oncecould easily get you sent to prison, becameacceptable. Savings accounts: You had one,but hot damn i you wouldnt like to takethat cheerleader to the prom in a MustangiDad would just co-sign on the loan?
Te attitude
shit wasunderpinnedby a growingsaety net: jobswith benets,not only or yourhealth, but oryour retirement.
And it was enabled by the sleekest oenablers: advertising.
Te model is not going away, but youhave to wonder whats going to evolve. Itwont start with small businesses (which,with a good plan, are nimble), and it wontstart here in America. But the EuropeanUnion has suggestedguess what?thatconsumers spend less. Tat means less
exporting or American businesses. Greece,in its economic mire, has had riots over theelimination o citizen benets. Italy is notar behind (without the riots, hopeully).
Te phrase global economy has, inthe last several years, been used so otenthat it numbs the mind. But consider this:When sales o AVs declined in America,the Suzuki manuacturing plant in FloydCounty got by, or a couple o years, withsales overseas. But the company also had toendure warehousing costs near Savannah,because outgoing ships, at that moment inthe global economy, couldnt bear all thatthe Suzuki plant and other manuacturerswere producing. Te plant eventually had to
lay o some workers, but Suzuki will nd away. AVs arent going anywhere.
Te global economy is not new. Youcould ask Marco Polo or Genghis Khan, orany Roman emperor. Its just that the globekeeps expanding while also getting smaller.It spins aster. But new markets will nevercease.

BISOFBIZA ew evenings ago, Inally got around toeating at Johnnys New York Style Pizza,
still a relative newcomer at 233 BroadStreet in Rome, and the only reason thatis news is because there was a Johnnys inmy ormer neighborhood in Atlanta that Ionce requented. Still,I didnt rush right overwhen Johnnys openeddowntown. But atthe initiation o otherdowntown riends, wegathered there.
Te joke about me atthe Johnnys in Atlantais that I would look overthe menu and then order
the same thing everytimetwo slices o tomato/artichoke pizza.You can interpret my consistent choice twoways: Unimaginative, or, Ive tasted mannaand I want it again.
But I didnt see tomato/artichoke on thedowntown menu here. I told the waiterabout the particular pizza that I loved inAtlanta. Te waiter said the kitchen couldput that together, no problem. Ten theour o us at the table started discussingwhether we wanted salads rst. Yes, no, andnally yes or some o us and no or someo us. Ten, we decided instead wed sharea veggie pizza rather than order individual
slices, but wed add a topping o artichokesto accommodate me.Te waiter tore o his order stub,
crumpled it up with a laugh and startedover. He never lost his patience or hispleasant attention to our decision switching,and he eciently gave us a little time so hecould go wait on other tables. Johnnys Pizzahad me in Atlanta, long beore they openedon Broad Street. But the reunion was sweet.
Its another downtown draw and atleast a ew jobs or olks in this economy,but joblessness is still an issue, one that isbecoming less comprehensible. Regional,state and national data on unemploymentinsurance claims versus job creation
fuctuate weekly, yet, overall, cannot bedescribed as encouraging. Despite job airspopulated by numerous employers, mosto the opportunities there are low-wage orsolely based on commission, with little orno benets. And whats not gured intoall the government data is the number opeople who were once breadwinners now
supplanting minimum wage as the brassring.
Tat gets back to consumer spendingand what it means to the economicmodel were under, which also leads to aconundrum. Northwest Georgia counties
are becoming certied as Work Ready bythe state, a stamp thats intended to attractlarge employers. College enrollment isup, especially in technical colleges. But atthe basic level, counties are acing budgetcuts, and no matter how you parse it orexplain it, its a contradiction. Te currentstate leadership seems to think a trained,educated workorce will attract employers,but tax increases wont attract employers.You cant have it both ways. You cant cuteducation unding and impress potentialemployers.
On the other hand, local governmentsand the statecan nd ways to attractemployers regardless o taxes. Ater all,every state taxes businesses, but theyinclude built-in opt-outs. Seems like a bigduh, but thats not what politicians run on.
Lawmakers also did not pass bondunding or the proposed ennis Center oGeorgia in the past session, but the support,especially with the backing o Berry Collegeand the U.S. ennis Association, makes thecomplex seem at least likelyeventually.Ten, perhaps, Rome and Athens, the latteralready a collegiate tennis center, could nda way to mutually benet.
Oh, wait. Tat would require anunclogged east-west transportation route.
Northern Arc, anyone? VVV

Vascular disease is amongthe leading causes o deathin the United States. Tereare generally no symptoms until a strokeor aneurysm rupture occurs. Vascularscreenings are available to detect problems,
but millions o Americansat risk or stroke or deathrom vascular disordersremain unaware o the
danger. In an eort to helpencourage the diagnosis othis potential problem beoreit occurs,John Kirkland,
M.D., Medical Director o the Harbin ClinicVascular Laboratory, elds your questions.
Why should I have a vascular screening?Around 795,000 Americans will havea stroke this year, and 135,000 will notsurvive. One in 20 Americans over theage o 50 has peripheral arterial disease(PAD). PAD impairs circulation, leading toa reduced ability to walk and, in some cases,leg amputation.
What does a vascular screening include?An ultrasound scan o the aorta is used toidentiy aortic aneurysms. An ultrasoundscan o the carotid arteries is perormed toassess the risk or stroke. Blood pressuremeasurements in the legs are perormed toidentiy PAD and the risk o heart disease.
I eel ne, so why should I be concernedabout these conditions?All three conditions can remain symptom-ree or years. Over time, plaque builds andthe aortic wall continues to weaken. Yourrisk o stroke or complications due to PADincrease as the amount o plaque increases.
I we identiy this early, we can modiyrisk actors such as controlling cholesteroland blood pressure. It is important toidentiy an aortic aneurysm early. Aruptured aneurysm is a lie-threateningevent and, otentimes, its the rst momentpeople learn they have a condition.
What happens i my screening comesback with one o these conditions havingbeen identied?Te earlier your doctor knows about thepresences o atherosclerotic disease or anaortic aneurysm, the better. In the absenceo symptoms, PAD and carotid arterydisease can be managed medically. Tatmeans modiying risk actors and repeatingultrasounds to make sure the progress o theplaque slows or stops.
A small aortic aneurysm may requirelittle more than simple monitoring. Yourdoctor may repeat ultrasounds every 6 to 12months, watching or changes in aneurysm
size. As long as it remains small and stable,monitoring may be all thats needed.
Will the vascular screening hurt or beuncomortable?All three exams perormed are non-invasive,using only an ultrasound and blood pressurecus. Tat means there are no needles, dyesor any harmul radiation exposurei.e., theexams are not painul or dangerous.
How long does it take, and how will Ireceive the results?All three exams will take a total o about 15to 20 minutes. Te exam will be reviewedby a Harbin Clinic board-certied vascularsurgeon. Te report will be mailed to youwithin two business days.
Why choose the Harbin Clinic VascularLaboratory to complete my screening?Te Harbin Clinic Vascular Laboratoryemploys only registered vascular
technologists (RV) to perorm yourscreening. Te lab is also accredited bythe Intersocietal Commission or theAccreditation o Vascular Laboratories(ICAVL).
In addition, your screening will be read byone o Harbin Clinics ve board-certiedvascular surgeons, who have a combined 75years o vascular interpretation experience.All o these designations speak to HarbinClinics commitment to quality patient care.We are a part o the community and shouldyou ever need us, we will be there to takecare o you in the uture.
Is this covered by my insurance?Otentimes it is not, and thats why Harbinoers special pricing or this screen.Insurance carriers are beginning to see thevalue in vascular screening, but most haveyet to act upon the mounting scienticevidence that supports the need or earlydetection.
Medicare does have an abdominalaneurysm screening available to newMedicare recipients. Unortunately, it isonly or a limited timerame ater becomingMedicare eligible. Tis means mostinsurance carriers do not cover vascularscreenings or many at-risk people 50 orolder. People with a amily history o heartdisease or PAD are especially at risk, andthose with risk actors even more so. VVV
