IN THIS ISSUE: SEPTEMBER 16 - 30

Last weekend, I was shocked to see afriend of mine working at the ticketcounter of a local movie theater.

Now there’s really nothing shocking aboutworking at a movie theater, it was justshocking to see my friend working a sec-ond job. She seemed nonplussed but I wasfighting mad to think that my friend, whoworks hard as a Houston County teacher,found it necessary to supplement herincome.

A few days later, I had lunch withanother Houston County teacher. She non-chalantly explained how things were reallytight for her and her family. I listened asshe told of items she purchased for herclassroom with her own paycheck and Iwondered at the stupidity of our society.

Do we not understand the importanceof our teachers? They are our greatestnational asset and we consistently takeadvantage of them. It just makes me wantto SCREAM!

John F. Kennedy said, “Modern cynicsand skeptics … see no harm in payingthose to whom they entrust the mind oftheir children a smaller wage than is paid tothose to whom they entrust the care ofplumbing.”

Our governor rides around in chauf-feur driven chariot with every bell andwhistle. Our Mayor drives a new car cour-

tesy of the tax payers. Our elected officialshave spending allowances attached to theirpositions. Our celebrities are paid millionsof dollars to entertain us. But our teachersare paid very little to shape the leaders ofour future. WTF?

Teaching is not an easy job and it takesa special, caring person to be a teacher. I’veheard horror stories from teachers abouttheir impudent pupils full of disrespect.One new teacher was aghast to find twosixth grades having sex on her desk the firstday of school! Not only do they have thechallenges of teaching little Johnny, butthey also have to defend themselves to lit-tle Johnny’s parents. And for this, they getpaid a pittance if you compare their pay tothe actual amount of time they devote totheir job.

It’s time for us to take stock of our pri-orities. We need to value one of our mostimportant commodities before we losethem to corporate America.

I know, I know…you are but one per-son and can’t be expected to change reality.WRONG! You can make a difference. Takea minute to thank your child’s teacher forher/his dedication and hard work. Take aminute to help your teacher out in the class.Take a minute to discipline your child so hewill control himself in the classroom.

There’s a new type of ambulanceresponding to emergency calls inMiddle Georgia. With poor nutri-

tion a growing epidemic resulting in obesity,diabetes, and other health problems,Community Health Works has responded tothe call by partnering with the MercerSchool of Medicine and Mid GeorgiaAmbulance to deliver healthy foods to thecommunity.

“The concept of a Veggie Van is todeliver fresh, locally grown fruits and vegeta-bles to underserved communities and elimi-nate the transportation barriers for the con-sumer who doesn’t have access to thesehealthy foods,” said Greg Dent, presidentand CEO of Community Health Works. “Italso benefits the producers – our local farm-ers – as it increases the demand for morefresh foods.”

The Veggie Van is currently in its pilotstage as it makes initial debut at localchurches in Macon and Warner Robins. Thevan is stocked with excess local producefrom Macon’s Mulberry Street Market(every Wednesday) and Warner Robins’International City Farmers’ Market (everyThursday). It is also equipped with a cardreader to accept payment. Credit, debit andEBT cards will be accepted to purchase pro-duce from the van. EBT card users willreceive double their dollars thanks to a grant

from Wholesome Wave. If an EBT card userhas $10 to spent, they will receive $20 worthof produce.

Community Health Works introducedthe card reader at the farmers’ markets thissummer with much success and experiencedan increase in sale of fresh produce to recip-ients of the Supplemental NutritionAssistance Program, i.e. SNAP (formerlyFood Stamps), using their EBT cards.

“Eventually the Veggie Van will expandits outreach to additional food deserts in ourhousing projects of Central Georgia,” saidDent. “During the non-growing season, wewill utilize it for exercise outreach, bringingthe same concept to the areas but targetingfitness opportunities.”

The Veggie Van itself is a retired ambu-lance donated by Mid Georgia Ambulance.

“When we learned of the need for avehicle and the potential for a retired ambu-lance to fill this need, we knew we would beable to help out and were excited about theopportunity to contribute,” said Amy Abel-Kiker, Director of Public Relations, MidGeorgia Ambulance. The interior of theambulance was transformed to accommo-date the project. In addition to a new exteri-or design, the ambulance is retro-fitted tostore produce.

According to the Center for DiseaseControl and Prevention (CDC), areas that

lack easy access to affordable fruits, vegeta-bles, whole grains, low-fat milk, and otherfoods that make up the full range of a healthydiet are called food deserts. These desertsare usually located in low-income neighbor-hoods that lack grocery stores.

USDA statistics show that there is afood desert in Houston County, located eastof S. Pleasant Hill Road and spills on toRAFB; there are two food deserts in BibbCounty: Millerfield Road area and between

I-75 and I-475 surrounding the Macon Mall.“Our Paramedics and EMTs encounter

patients daily, who are suffering from condi-tions such as high blood pressure, heart dis-ease and stroke. We know that in order toreduce the number of patients in the regionsuffering from these conditions, we need topromote health and nutrition education.The Veggie Van will serve as a great resourcefor the community, not only by makinghealthy foods more accessible, but also byproviding an educational tool,” said Abel-Kiker.

The program targets diabetic patients.“The Mercer University STOP (SkillsTraining on Preventing) diabetes program isa five year translational research project fund-ed by the National Institutes of Health. Theprogram was developed in 2008 through apartnership with faith community leaders andlocal family physicians, Drs. John Boltri,Monique Davis-Smith, and Paul Seale, as aresponse to the increasing prevelance of TypeII diabetes in the African American popula-tion in Macon,” said Dr. Joy Goens Thomas,Project Director, STOP Diabetes, MercerUniversity Departement of FamilyMedicineCenter for Educational Research.

“Currently in its third of 3 programimplementation years, the team has workedwithin 32 churches and screened over 4000church members. The aim of the STOP dia-betes program is to identify those withincreased risk for diabetes and share withthem the good news that type II diabetes canbe prevented.”

International City Farmers’ MarketCoordinator Jodi Daley looks forward toworking with Community Health Works, “Ithink the Veggie Van is a great idea, especial-ly if the van goes to neighborhoods that donot have close access to fresh whole foods.”

“We are hopeful that the Veggie Vanprogram will prove successful and that it willbecome a well-known staple of the commu-nity,” said Abel-Kiker. “Hopefully, this pro-gram will be so successful that it is replicatedin other communities, making fresh fruitsand veggies more readily available to every-one and therefore reducing the frequency ofstroke and heart disease.”

Veggie Van Pilot Program Rolls Out in Central Georgia“Since the journey to health is a marathon,not a sprint, lasting partnerships are vital

to promoting health among all of the mem-bers of the community with potential risk

for chronic disease. As a board member ofDigging Roots Educational Farm and proj-

ect director for the STOP diabetes pro-gram, I believe the STOP diabetes pro-gram's partnership with the Community

Health Works' Veggie Van puts wheels onthe local food movement in a creative and

exciting way," - Dr. Joy Goens Thomas,Project Director, STOP Diabetes

In conjunction with “going green”, a newtrend has emerged around the nationand has even taken root in Warner

Robins—Buy Local, Eat Local—and theInternational City Farmers Market makingthis possible for two years. EachThursday, growers from around the areacome to sell their produce and home-made wares on the corner of WatsonBlvd. and Davis Dr. from 2 – 6 p.m.

Fresh fruits and vegetables, home-made bread, flowering plants, jams and jel-lies are just a few of the items to be foundat the market. “Know your farmer, knowyour food,” said Volunteer MarketOrganizer Jodi Daley, who encouragesconsumers to “keep the money spent onproduce in the local economy.

“The ICFM can be an outlet for thenew urban growers to sell their produce tothe community,” Daley said. And the mar-ket isn’t the only vision that Daley has forthe community. “We are supporting threenew community gardens in HoustonCounty,” she said. “NAMI InteractiveGardens is building demonstration gardensto teach folks how to grow their own veg-gies. Field of Dreams is on the way; we arejust about done building all the raisedbeds. The Warner Robins HousingAuthority is building a garden for its seniorresidents.”

ICFM is also working in conjunctionwith Community Health Works who is pro-viding the tools to accept the EBT (SNAP),credit cards and debit cards at the market.The SNAP program allows food stamp

recipients to receive double value whenshopping at the market. Shoppers can buy$20 produce for just $10.

Other initiatives in the works focus oneducating the public on growing andpreparing food, supporting businesses whosell GA Made, GA Grown products, andenhancing a community spirit.

On September 24, at 5:30 p.m.,ICFM is hosting their second “Farm 2Table” dinner party, serving locally grownfood and prepared by a local chef. Theevent takes place at the Perfect Pear inPerry. Tickets are $75 per person or $145per couple. To make reservations or getmore information about the InternationalCity Farmers Market, call Jodi Daley at478-225-7626. JENNY MURR

Jimmy Maine strode intoOcmulgee Arts, where Iwork, introduced him-

self and said,“have a seat, Iwill give you a show.” Withthat he produced these fan-tastic framed quilt pieces.

They were carefullychosen small pieces of anoverall quilt patterngleaned from severelydamaged quilts, then treat-ed so they looked like tex-tured leather, and enhancedwith paint or metallic gold.“The creativity and labor ofthe original quilter hasinspired me to preservethese pieces, but by takingthem one step further Ihave made them my own. Ihave respect for historywithout being encumberedby it.” They were unlikeanything else I have seen.

Those attending theInternational City FallFestival will have an oppor-tunity to own one of thesesvery special pieces. JimmyMaine and fellow artist Leslie Hoops-Wallace are team working. Jimmy willproduce the quilt and Leslie will paint animage on that background. In keepingwith the festival’s theme “Rememberingthe Past, Celebrating Tomorrow,” the quiltrepresents the past while Leslie’s paintingwill represent tomorrow. I see their coop-eration as representative of the teamworkseen all over the Warner RobinsCommunity, evident in the way artistssupport each others careers, businessesoffering services to accommodate cus-tomers, or citizens planning a festival.

Originally from Bonaire, JimmyMaine attended high school in WarnerRobins. He later graduated from theUniversity of Georgia with a major in ArtEducation and a minor in Textile Design.Serious about teaching, Jimmy had anopportunity to teach art in a Title ThreeEnrichment program sponsored by theFederal government.

Eventually, Jimmy found his way toNorthside High School where he taughtart for twenty years until a brain hemor-rhage caused his early retirement.” Thisformer Teacher of the Year had quicklydiscovered that he was teaching life skillsas well as art. Inspired by his first teacher,Mrs. Lewis, he taught ,“the eyes look andthe mind sees…observation must be cou-pled with insight and awareness.” Theability to analyze is valuable to all of us,not just the artist.

While Jimmy was aware he was nur-turing art talent ( David Collins, the sub-ject of this publication’s last art columnwas a former student), he also knew somestudents would never be professionalartists. His goal was to give them appreci-ation of the arts as well as some creative

skills to enrich their lives. For instance,he taught all of his students to crochet andwas tickled when one young lady returnedto class with her own crochet book, newlypurchased by her mother. She announced,“I now know what to do when I don’tknow what to do.”

Jimmy and his wife Peggy, also anartist, regularly hosted foreign exchangestudents. He said, ”I found this mostenlightening because when trying toanswer their many questions as honestlyas possible, I was forced to examine myown perceptions and opinions. So we alllearned about our culture and ourselves.”The Maines have visited those exchangestudents in their native countries andremain close friends.

So what does a dedicated teacher doafter teaching? Jimmy considered himselfvery fortunate when a colleague, ImogeneYoung introduced him to a program calledArtists With Disabilities created byMarcel Watkins. This exposed him to fineartists, many who were working againstworse handicaps than Jimmy’s. He real-ized. “It is just a little brain damage, I cando this.” So he became a producing artist.After so many years focusing on teaching,he could communicate with a differentaudience through his own art.

Want to see what this deep thinkingartist is all about? Currently, Jimmy andwife Peggy both have works on display atthe Fort Valley State University Fine ArtsGallery and Studio. These pieces are verydifferent from the textile pieces. The cou-ple entrenched themselves in newscastsand then expressed their reactions inexplosive non-objective pieces, often inbright colors and very intense.

SCENE DINING OUT | local dining spotlight

Friendship, creativity, and communi-ty drive MOPS (Mothers ofPreschoolers) and the members of

the Warner Robins MOPS offer an infor-mal way to bridge the gap between moth-ers of all walks of life.

In Houston County, the MOPS groupmeets at Southside Baptist Church.Originally sponsored by Robin Walls ofSouthside seven years ago, they now num-ber around 65 women and more than halfof the membership is military. “In spite ofthe diversity in backgrounds and experi-ences, the women in our MOPS groupcome together in a common purpose andcreate some of the most important friend-ships in their lives,” said Southside MOPScoordinator, Amanda Lovett.

The experience of MOPS offerscontinuity to women who find them-selves in the midst of new situations andenvironments. “Many different church-es are represented at our MOPS. Wehave members from Sacred Heart, andsome of the newer places represented inthe community as well.”

MOPS gives these women an oppor-tunity to come together twice monthly in asafe place where they can leave the everpressing duties of mothering aside for acouple of hours while their children arewatched over by paid employees and vol-unteers. And MOPS offers its members awide variety of resources. From itsMomSense magazine to MOPS radio, theservices are accessible in a variety of ways.It’s all about community and fellowship.

Many women in the Warner RobinsMOPS group have in-home businessesthat supplement their incomes. Some ofthe members sell Scentsy and PamperedChef products and one of the members ofthe leadership team, Natalie Herr, main-tains a blog which can be found atOvenLove.blogspot.com.

One meeting per month is dedicatedto crafts such as scrapbooking and hand-painting ceramics. These activities canhelp stimulate creativity that may feeldormant in the midst of the workaday lifeof parenting young children. “These

experiences relieve the isolation and lone-liness that can sometimes accompany thestay-at-home experience and help moth-ers realize that they are not alone in this.That other moms are dealing with thesesame issues,” said Lovett.

On top of the social benefits, theleadership roles that are available toChristian women provide much neededresume builders in the lull between givingbirth and re-entering the workplace. In adifficult economy, it is doubly difficult fora woman who has been out of the work-force caring for her children during theyears before they enter school. MOPSwas voted best Christian workplace of2011 and members who meet the missioncriteria of MOPS International can volun-teer in several capacities that keep theirresume active and growing.

MOPS volunteers are currently regis-tering consigners for their FallConsignment sale to be held at theSouthside Baptist Kathleen campusacross from the Frito Lay factory on high-way 247, Sept 23-24.This is one of onlytwo fundraisers held annually.Membership can be purchased per meet-ing, seasonally, or annually and includetwo meeting per month, in addition to aonce monthly Mom’s Night Out, operat-ing within a nine month year.

MOPS is a perfect example of how asimple idea can take on a life of its own.Originally the brainchild of eight womenwho began a women’s Christian fellow-ship in Wheat Ridge, Colorado in 1973, ithas grown into an international networkof mothers and Christian leadership min-istries. Groups range in size from 10-200and cater to women from all backgrounds;teen mothers, military, non-Englishspeaking, all over the world. It is anamazing story of the friendships and goodfortunes that seem to follow this groupwherever you happen to find it.

TECHNICAL COLLEGETRAINS STUDENTS FORJOBS IN DUBLIN AND RAFBIn a previous article, improving energy efficiency was identi-fied as a source of jobs using a “picks and shovels” approach.As a refresher, this phrase comes from Ross Harding, CEO,Energy Launch Partners, and means jobs in all the areasneeded to develop and achieve improved energy efficiency –the manufacturing, the transportation, the services, the tech-nology and engineering, etc.

Nearby examples of “picks and shovels” are inAmericus, Dublin, Brunswick and Savannah.Solar is an expanding renewable energy area in Georgia andthe Southeast. Qualified people and production of systemsand components are two “picks and shovels” in this business.In August, South Georgia Technical College in Americussigned an agreement with MAGE Solar Academy, Dublin, tostart offering training in designing, installing, and maintain-ing photovoltaic solar systems (PV) for residential, commer-cial, and agricultural applications. This training will equipgraduates with the knowledge to enter the solar energy indus-try both locally and throughout the Southeast region. In addi-tion, completion of the training will also allow students toearn credits towards certification by a national organization,the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners(NABCEP). What about Dublin? MAGE Solar has a pro-duction facility there.

A growing business for Georgia is the production andexport of wood pellets and chips to customers in Europe.Local companies, Fram Renewables and Telfair ForestProducts are but two examples, are purchasing wood fromGeorgia landowners for production of wood chips and pellet.These are then exported through the ports of Brunswick andSavannah. To handle this export business, jobs are createdthroughout the supply chain -- suppliers of equipment to theforest products industry, harvesting and transportation ofwood, processing of the wood into pellets, expansion of portfacilities.

The above are two energy related instances of the “picksand shovels” approach locally. Similar opportunities exist inother areas as well – the supply chains supporting RobinsAFB especially. This is a good news story -- opportunitiesabound. Let’s go.

ROBINS FEDERAL CREDIT UNION SWAG PATROLJimmy Hinks, Bonaire, could only affordto put a couple of gallons of gas in hisvan on Sept. 2. But the Swag Patrolsaved the day when they ponied up $65to fill his tank.

Diners at the Rookery received giftsand prizes from the Swag Patrol, but itwas student Shelby Anthony who walkedaway with $50.00 Macon when she wasthe first person to show her RobinsFederal debit or credit card.

The Museum of Aviation is slated to receivean RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aircraftthat has flown more than 7,000 combat

hours in the war on terrorism - more than anyother Global Hawk. The aircraft, #2011, recentlyretired from active Air Force operational use andis coming to the museum for preservation anddisplay. The Museum of Aviation is only the sec-ond museum in the Air Force to obtain a GlobalHawk – the first being the National Museum ofU.S. Air Force in Dayton Ohio. It will be placedin an elevated display in the Century of FlightHangar.

The Command & Control, Intelligence,Surveillance and Reconnaissance Division(C2ISR) of the Warner Robins Air LogisticsCenter's Aerospace Sustainment Directorateperforms program management for the RQ-4Global Hawk and other unmanned aircraft sys-tems. ISR functions are principal elements of the

United States' defense capabilities.The RQ-4 Global Hawk is a high-altitude,

long-endurance unmanned aircraft system withan integrated sensor suite that provides intelli-gence, surveillance and reconnaissance, or ISR,capability worldwide. Global Hawk's mission isto provide a broad spectrum of ISR collectioncapability to support joint combatant forces inworldwide peacetime, contingency and wartimeoperations. While still a developmental system,the Global Hawk deployed operationally to sup-port the global war on terrorism in November2001. The Global Hawk UAS provides near-con-tinuous all-weather, day/night, wide area surveil-lance and will eventually replace the U-2.

In the RQ-4 name, the "R" is theDepartment of Defense designation for recon-naissance and "Q" means unmanned aircraftsystem. The "4" refers to the series of purpose-built remotely piloted aircraft systems.

“It’s going to be like Masquerade’s smaller cousin,” saidBob Johnson, proprietor of Rock Bottom and founder ofInsurrection Sound. “Local musicians have been askingfor this a long time and now we are going to give it tothem.” The venue is located at 1619 Moody Rd, acrossfrom Wellston Pawn Shop, and will be open Wednesday-Saturday and one Sunday per month. “It is a new band-centric venue,” said Operations Manager LanceRodriguez (138 Records), “with Acoustic Wednesdays;Random Thursdays; LIVE! Fridays and Saturdays; andan all ages show one Sunday a month.” Co-owner BobJohnson answers a few questions about the new venue.

Besides the bands...what can people expect atyour grand opening weekend? Expect welcomingstaff, band swag and memorabilia, pool tables and bringyour suggestions. We’re counting on the local musiccommunity to tell us what they want and we will accom-modate.

Who is your target audience? Music lovers will love it because its sole purpose is forlive music. They will also really dig it because we willhave new bands every night we’re open. Bands will ben-efit from this because it's designed, owned, operated bymusicians FOR musicians period.

Why open a venue now?Middle Georgia has amazing talent. There are several real-ly great places for bands to play out, but most are sportsbars, restaurants or laid back chill spots that have beencool enough to let local bands work a little. But I haven'tbeen able to find one that's sole purpose is live music.

Will you be hosting only local bands?No, the full intent is to host regional and national acts ona regular basis. When a good headliner is booked, u cambet they will be paired with a great local.

What kind of music will you feature? Most genreswill be covered. On Wednesdays we’re acoustic based,some open mic jam sessions and such. Thursdays will bepretty eclectic but fundamentally electronic basedincluding hip hop, real dj's industrial. Friday andSaturday we will have Metal, punk, bluegrass, 80s coverbands, R&B, whatever bands people want to see, I willtry to provide.

What do you have in store for the monthlySunday performances? All ages shows. There are even fewer places for peopleunder 18 to see bands play..let alone play at. There aresome of the most incredible underage musicians aroundhere. They deserve a place to play and, hopefully, launcha career.

How can bands get booked?They can contact me or Lance Rodriguez. Hit us up online, send us a disc or a link to something we can hear,or better yet come out and support a band and dropsomething with us! Checkout insurrectionsound.com. I'llhave calendar info on there and links, contacts etc.For more information email: [email protected]
