The Coweta Shopper reserves the right to accept or reject any advertising as we feel is in the best interest of our publication.

Although the “Shopper” has been published for 24 years, I have now been the proud owner since April of 2010 – three and a half years. It’s a second career for

me and I love it! It is, however, a good bit more involved than I realized. When I was 13, I delivered 100 papers each after-noon from my Sears Allstate 125 motor scooter. I thought I was working hard but never thought about what the publisher had to go through to produce that “Afternoon Rag”. Without powerful computers, a great staff and a lot of help from the United States Postal Service, we couldn’t do it. Let’s look at the numbers.

Shopper

The Coweta Shopper has gone to press 1,248 times in as many weeks since 1989. You can wrap a whole lot of fish with that. We now direct mail every home and business in the county in a three week weekly rotation. So in that three week period, we must create, layout and organize between 75 and 80 separate pages of advertising and editorial. Over 50,000 cop-ies containing 1.2 million pages are printed, and delivered by truck to the 4 post offices in our area, and it takes 74 mail carriers in 74 vehicles to deliver the Shopper each Wednesday. Dur-ing my time at the helm, we have helped almost 600 businesses tell you about their product or service through our “direct to your mailbox” ap-

proach, with absolutely no cost to the reader. And if that’s not enough, at the end of that three week period of time you can line over a quarter million bird cages. (Assuming a double fold for longevity) That’s a lot of foul!

Anyway, it seems I’ve come a long way since my “paper boy” days. And thanks to the postal service, we don’t have to lick 50,100 stamps every three weeks or try to deliver our pa-pers on a Sears Roebuck motor scooter. But I’m most thankful for our small group of talented employees who work hard to make it happen.

You would think that, having spent all this time and money, we would just take the cheap way out and be on the internet. WE ARE. So if you’re skiing in the Alps, vacationing in the South of France, or hiking the Appalachian Trail, and are “perishing to death” to read this weeks Coweta Shopper, just enter www.thecowetashopper.com and view the entire pa-per.

JoePost Script: The above numbers seem large to me and The Coweta Shopper is just a week-ly publication. Coweta’s local newspaper, The Times-Herald, does an outstanding job of covering the news, and they do it 5 times a week. My hat is off to them. (But I still think the Shopper makes a superior bird cage liner!!!)


Popular items that can be purchased locally Many consumers prefer to buy locally when shopping. There are several advantages to choosing

local products, including the benefit of aiding your local economy by supporting a business with roots in your community. Dealing with an individual or small enterprise instead of a billion-dollar operation is another reason people are drawn to local stores and businesses.

Spring and summer are great times of year to shop locally, as the warmer weather facilitates strolling community shops and business districts. The following items are popular among consum-ers who emphasize buying local when making their purchases.

Produce

If you desire fresher fruits and vegetables, then shopping locally is the way to go. According to Local Harvest, most produce in the United States is picked four to seven days before it reaches the supermarket shelves, and it might have traveled thousands of miles before landing on those shelves. A lot of produce is grown and imported from South and Central Ameri-ca, and such produce can take even longer to arrive on supermarket shelves. As a result, the flavor and fresh-ness of fruits and vegetables shipped from afar might be compromised. The best way to get peak-season pro-duce is to buy items that come from local providers.

Home services

If you’re in the market for a new air conditioning unit or are considering a home renovation, using a local, licensed contractor is often the smart way to go. Rather than dealing with the red tape of a larger outfit that may subcontract its work, local businesses are often more customer-service driven. What’s more, if ever a problem arises, it’s much easier to go into a local business and discuss concerns face-to-face instead of dealing with an unknown person answering phones at a corporate call center.

Crafts

The home-based arts and crafts industry has undergone a rebirth thanks to sites like Pinterest, Craftsy and Etsy. Many of the items offered in local craft shops are handmade by local artisans and not mass-produced in overseas factories. Local artisans may be your best bet when shopping for unique arts and crafts full of detail and quality.

Food

Dining out is a different experience when you select independent restaurants over national chains. Chefs at independently owned restaurants have a greater say over ingredients and menu choices than those at franchise establishments, and you may be introduced to foods you had never before dreamed of trying. Restaurants that team up with local food suppliers offer a double-dose of regional commerce and fresher ingredients. If you’re new to the area, browse the Shopper to find dining establishments in your area.

There are numerous benefits to shopping locally. Stop, shop and support your neighbors.

For Michael Reams, a morning cup of cof-fee is more than just a hot drink to get the day started. It’s the Life Blood of families trying to make a living in coffee producing communities in South and Central America.

One such community, Oaxaca, is one of the most lush and fertile coffee-producing regions of Mexico, and has a special place in Michael’s heart. It’s where his wife grew up.

Years later Michael and Camila made their fi rst “family trip” back to Oax-aca where he met Camila’s mother. “She served me the best cup of coffee I had ever tasted”, say’s Mi-chael. After seeing the coffee fi elds and hearing about the diffi culties of making a living from it, they knew this land had great potential. Mike began researching coffee and busi-ness, looking for an opportunity to serve the coffee farmers there and eventually founded “Fire Mountain Coffee”, to give these people full value for their efforts by importing their product in a direct-trade rela-tionship. ‘It’s like a ministry to us, a dream come true, and we want to spend the rest of our lives invested in it and being a part of Coweta’s business community”.

Fire Mountain’s coffees are delicious hand crafted beans sourced from Central and South America, Oceana and, soon to be added, Africa. For more information, or how to obtain this delicious coffee, contact Michael and Camila Reams at fi [email protected]

THIS IS A HAMMERBy Samantha Mazzotta

Make Hay While the Sun Shines

Q: I always order a few cords of firewood in the summer, even though I will not likely need it

until late fall. That way I can stack the wood the way I like it and make sure it seasons evenly between now and winter time. And I don’t have to pay a pre-mium or compete with all the other folks trying to get their firewood in the fall. Hope your readers find this useful! -- Carl F., White River Junction, Vt.

AGood tip! June’s milder temperatures are a great time to start outdoor repair and maintenance projects. In northern states, homeowners can begin preparing the house for winter weather;

in the southeast, the lull between spring storms and fall hurricanes gives people breathing room to shore up their homes and yards, and replenish emergency supplies.

If you have a fireplace, schedule a professional inspection and cleaning this month -- again, it will help you beat the fall rush, and many chimney cleaners offer discounts during the slow season. If you have a septic tank, schedule its annual inspection for this month, too -- it may not need to be pumped out every year, but the tank and related systems, including the drain field, should be checked for small problems before they become big, expensive problems.

Outside, finish spring cleanup in the yard and garden. Grab a ladder and a helper, and climb up to the roof to see if there’s a lot of debris or damage to the shingles, eaves or soffits. Visually inspect the gutter system for damage, debris dams, rust or other problems. Again, the sooner you tackle smaller issues, the less costly the repairs will be.

Finally, get your air conditioner ready for the hotter months. Change the air filter, and purchase a few more if necessary so you can change the filter every month until October. If the A/C unit hasn’t been inspected in a few years, have a professional come and do a complete system inspection, including the unit, blower, vents and registers.

I have two alarm clocks that I contemplate selling every morning around 7:30. � e

biggest one usually goes o� � rst. I hear it pa� ering down the hall while I’m still dreaming. It climbs up the end of my bed stealthy as a cat and pretends to be my friend. It pulls the pillow out from under my head and cuddles up so close to me that I have to inch over until I am teetering on the edge of the bed, coverless and uncomfortable.

� is is a crucial moment. If I manage to convince the alarm clock that it is still early, I just might be able to hit snooze. I lay motionless, waiting, hoping. Slowly I open one eye and disappointment sets in as I stare at my wide-eyed, smiling alarm clock. “Hi Mommy,” it says. I let out a defeated moan, knowing that the jig is up, the alarm has rung. � is is when I discover that my alarm clock is not working properly. See I have waved the � ag; I’m awake so it should be over, but my alarm clock does not stop ringing. It takes my defeat as permission to jump on the bed, sing, yell, slap, kick, whatever it takes to really get in some overtime. A couple of minutes into the routine I hear my smaller alarm clock start ringing from the other room and I really have to resist pushing my jumping clock right o� the side of the bed.

I remember when I decided to order my second alarm clock. I had pre� y good luck with the � rst one up to that point, so I went ahead and ordered from the same manufacturer. I had no idea that the second one was pre-programmed to go o� every two hours for about eight months. I was really sleepy during that period. � e manufacturer must be a sound sleeper because he conveniently never heard the alarm clock in the middle of the night no ma� er how loud it blared.

Now my li� lest clock is 17 months old and still goes o� intermi� ently each night. My big clock is four years old and while it does remain silent throughout the night, it shakes the house when it rings in the morning. I think the warranty has expired on both of them. Don’t misunderstand me though; I do love my two clocks. I love the way they sing so� ly to me while I’m cleaning them. I love staring down at their glowing faces when I check in on them at night. And mostly I love how much they need me and how much I need them in return.

Alright, sorry, but the sale is o� , I’m keeping both of my alarm clocks a� er all. Check back with me tomorrow around 7:30 a.m. – that’s when I’m most susceptible to renegotiations.

Join Local Author Larissa Reinhart

Saturday for Book SigningOn Saturday, June 8 from 2 to 4 p.m., Barnes & Noble in Ashley

Park, Newnan, will host a signing for the release of the second in the Cherry Tucker Mystery series, Still Life in Brunswick Stew by local author Larissa Reinhart.

The Cherry Tucker Mystery Series published by Henery Press (http://henerypress.com/) features a down-and-out, scrappy portrait artist from small town, Halo, Georgia. Halo is located in the fictional Forks County, loosely based on the mid-western area of Georgia such as Coweta County. As Cherry Tucker scrambles to forge a art career in Halo, she also struggles to handle her local rival, quirky family, and sort-of-ex-husband. All the while, she uses her creative ingenuity and love of gossip to involve herself in local investigations, much to the annoyance of her deputy boyfriend. Betty Webb of Mystery Scene Magazine said, “The tone of this marvelously cracked book is not unlike Sophie Littlefield’s brilliant A Bad Day for Sorry, as author Reinhart dishes out shovelfuls of ribald humor and mayhem. It takes a rare talent to successfully portray a beer-and-hormone-addled artist as a sympathetic and worthy heroine, but Reinhart pulls it off with tongue-in-cheek panache.”

The first in the series, Portrait of a Dead Guy, was a finalist for the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery and Suspense. Still Life in Brunswick Stew finds Cherry Tucker trying to sell art at a Brunswick Stew Cook-Off festival, where her artist friend dies after eating Brunswick Stew. As a preorder, Still Life in Brunswick Stew trended at number three on Barnes & Nobles Hottest Movers book list and is currently on the Amazon best-selling lists for humor and women sleuths. The third book, Hijack In Abstract, is scheduled for a November release followed by a December release of a Cherry Tucker prequel novella, Quick Sketch, in the mystery anthology, The Heart Ache Hotel. The fourth mystery will launch in 2014.

Originally from the Midwest, Larissa Hoffman has lived in Georgia (Atlanta, Coweta, and Fay-ette Counties) with her husband since 1996. She writes under her maiden name, Reinhart. She now lives in Peachtree City with her husband, daughters, and Cairn Terrier, Biscuit. Before writing, she taught at Sandy Creek High School in Tyrone, Georgia.

“Listerine and Grits”

Southern Summer has swayed in — intoxicating with her sultry perfume of tea olive, iris, peonies, confederate jasmine, roses and honeysuckle. Soon magnolia and mimosa will blend with ginger lilies and banana shrub to further intoxicte and woo us into blissful sleep on hot summer nights.

Meanwhile, out in the garden, I’ve been grooming my plants and ‘gritsing’ the ants. This is where the Listerine (original type) comes in — as a disinfectant for clippers. Use this mouthwash instead of clorox (which can ruin clothes) or rubbing alcohol. It can also be

used in flower arrangements to help keep the water fresh. As for the grits, my granddaughter Anna first told me about this several years ago. When the weather is going to be dry for several days, sprinkle the ant hill liberally with dry, uncooked grits (do not wet). The idea is that the ants will eat the dry grits, drink water, and then explode — a school boy’s dream experiment! I’ve used this method a number of times on the patio where I don’t want to walk on poison. It does help; and it’s certainly less difficult and dangerous than boiling water or a blow torch. [We’re not known

as Steel Magnolias for nothing].

There are many home remedies that are non-toxic or less harmful. A good spray of water can remove aphids. Lemon-scented dish soap mixed with water makes a good bug spray. Plant garlic, marigolds and onions to repel rabbits, deer, and insects. Plant marigolds for nematodes. Spread lime around plants for slugs and cutworms. Corn borers do not like geraniums or marigolds. Repel moths with sage and santolina. The cabbage butterfly dislikes rosemary. When a stronger method is necessary use pyrethrum. Try non-toxic methods first to protect the environment.

Gary Sikes

Publisher’s note: Gary Sikes has been a leading sports authority in Coweta County for as long as I can remember. He previously published a sports magazine and has wri� en many interesting articles and hosted a sports show on TV. Gary is in the process of launching a new sports web site covering local, collage and professional sports which can be found at www.mvpsportsandmore.com. We welcome Gary as a contrib-utor to � e Coweta Shopper.

� is past weekend the Coweta coun-ty school system unleashed some 1,500 to 1,800 young men and women on the streets of the city and state. Some of them will go to college, some of them will join the Military and then some will just try to join the work force. But the life of Mike McDonald who is the head football coach of the Newnan Cougars will just be ge� ing started for the Fall campaign. He has to check to make sure that the some 100 young men who came out in the Spring are still eligible to play in the Fall. � en he will be a� ending all kinds of clinics including some hosted by the Georgia high school association for the rules which might have been implemented since last year.

McDonald will be starting his 6th year as the head man for the

Newnan Cougars. During his tenure so far, the Cougars have sent 3 players to the University of Georgia, the 2 Ogletree brothers Alex and Zander. � ey both had good to great careers while in Ath-ens. Zander will � nish his education but not on the team, he was released early because of an injury but will be allowed to complete his degree under the schol-orship he was awarded. Alex, however, came out and entered the NFL dra� and was the 31st pick by the St. Louis Rams in the � rst round of the 2013 Dra� . And if this is not enough talent from our area, Trey Ma� hews (Cougar free safety) was signed by the Dawgs and will see lots of playing time according to the UGA coaching sta� . Plus from East Coweta high school former Indian stand-out tight end Cole Trolinger will be representing our community as well so for all the Dawg fans in our community, you have lots to be proud of. Coach McDonald came to Newnan from Union Grove high school where he was the head coach but decided to come and be the understudy for then head coach Robert Herring. Upon Her-ring’s retirement McDonald was given the nod and the program has kept on win-ning. And from the looks of the returning talent, they will keep the same tradition this Fall. At mvpsportsandmore.com we are proud to be associated with the Cowe-ta Shopper and their 51,000 readers every month. We will bring updates from the Jackets on the Flats, and the Dawgs from Athens plus all major sports high-lites.. From the way things look, our Georgia fans are in for a great season of football this Fall. With what the Falcons and our 2 major universities are ge� ing during the o� season. Plus the high schools across the state pu� ing their programs in place, how can one help but be excited. Until next when we will visit the campus of Northgate and talk with coach Tommy Walburn, God Bless

N.I.T.W.I.T.S. Season FinaleBy Joan Doggrell

Newnan Theatre Company’s improv troupe, the N.I.T.W.I.T.S., will present their final show of the season at 8:00 pm on June 22. Experienced improv artist Drew Turner is putting together their favorite games from the spring season for one last romp before summer.

The night before, June 21, the newest crop of Half-W.I.T.S. will stage their very first show. This group of fifteen talented middle school youngsters has been learning the rules of improv since Feb-ruary 2. They will be practicing these rules and playing some of the games they’ve been using with their instructors Justin Jessell, Robbie Kirkland, Melanie Carrin, Drew Turner, Daniel Lees and Beth Lyons.

“We show them how we play a game, and then they try it,” said Kirkland. “They’re coming along great. I’ve heard some of them say they’ve taken classes in other places, and they’ve learned much more here because it’s hands-on – they see the rules of improv actually being practiced by the N.I.T.W.I.T.S., who perform on the same night as the Half-W.I.T.S. class.”

The ticket price is $5.00 for the Half-W.I.T.S. as well as for the N.I.T.W.I.T.S. show.

The N.I.T.W.I.T.S. are expanding their horizons beyond Newnan. On April 30 they were in-vited to perform some of their best games at Whole World Improv in Atlanta, along with Whole World’s beginner group Unusual Suspects. “It was a very fun experience to go up there in Atlanta,” said N.I.T.W.I.T.S. Director Robbie Kirkland. “We’ve been invited back for their 8:00 pm show on July 23.”

Whole World Improv Theatre is a non-profit organization founded in 1994. Located at 1216 Spring St NW in Atlanta, they have more than 40 company members that perform, crew shows, and teach classes.

To purchase tickets, and for show dates and times, visit Newnan Theatre Company’s web site at http://www.newnantheatre.org or visit the box office before or after any performance. The theater is located in historic downtown Newnan at 24 First Avenue.

Other than checking the level of acid/water inside the bat-tery, the only other part of owner maintenance is mak-ing sure that the battery is clean and fi rmly attached to the car.

The battery terminals and cable clamps must be clean and corrosion free, otherwise a good electrical connec-tion will be compromised. Every battery will have a positive and a negative post either on the top of the bat-tery or on one side. To these ½” diameter lead posts will be attached a cable clamp that leads to a heavy elec-trical cable, one black and the other red, which in turn leads to things like the fuse box, starter, and other gad-gets. If there is a white soap powder-like pile of granules around the posts, you need to clean that off. Those gran-ules are acid crystals, so use water and a disposable rag or wire brush. You might want to try to remove them with-out getting them all over the paint and engine compart-ment. You can also wash the cables and battery areas with baking soda to neutral-ize the corroding effect of the acid. This isn’t a particularly dangerous or harmful task, but may be intimidating to some, so if you see that white

CAR CARE ESSENTIALS Check Your Car’s Battery part 2 …

powder on your battery, and don’t want to take care of it yourself, take your car to your mechanic and tell him about it. But if you do decide to do this easy task yourself, the acid is not strong enough to hurt you. Just don’t get it in your eyes. Wash your hands afterwards.

Another thing that an owner needs to check regarding bat-tery condition is the method used to clamp the battery solidly to the car. This will vary greatly depending on the size and the weight of the battery, the location, and the engineers who designed the car. All you as a responsible owner should do is to place both hands on a safe and clean place on the battery

and give it a strong shake. If the car rocks, then the bat-tery is fi rmly attached to the car. If the battery rocks and the car does not, then the battery clamping system has probably rusted away or oth-erwise broken. This is usually best left to a qualifi ed me-chanic to repair. Trust me; you do not want a loose 30 pound battery sliding around in your trunk or engine com-partment for very long. Get it fi xed quickly.

Renting an automobile can be practical for a variety of rea-sons. City dwellers with easy access to public transportation might not own a vehicle and might choose instead to rent a car when the need arises. Men and women who are leasing a vehicle might rent a car for a long trip to avoid exceeding the mileage restrictions that come with their leases. Even drivers who own their vehicles might rent a car in an effort to preserve their own vehicles for resale.

Regardless of an individual’s reason for renting a car, there are certain things all renters should know before taking the keys to their next rental.

Your credit card company might be insuring you.• Drivers who

have rented a car in the past are aware that rental company employees attempt to sell renters insurance for the vehicle before handing over the keys. While it’s definitely smart to be insured, you may already be insured if you’re paying for the rental with a credit card. (Note: Many rental agencies require a major credit card for customers to book a reser-vation.) Credit card companies provide this coverage at no extra cost to you, which can save you a substantial amount of money, as many rental agencies charge by the day for insur-ance. Consult your credit card company before renting the vehicle to see what, if any, coverage they offer. Some cards may not offer complete coverage, but even partial coverage

will still save you money.Multiple drivers will cost you money.• If you’re about to em-bark on a road trip and you plan to have more than one driver, you can plan to pay more as well. Each extra driver you add to the rental agreement will cost an additional fee. If you can make the trip with just one driver, then you will save money. Do not list one driver but allow others to drive the rental, as this might negate any insurance coverage you purchased from the rental agency or any coverage provided to you by an existing auto insurance policy or credit card company.Return the car with gas in the tank.• The rental agent will tell you how much fuel needs to be in the car when it’s returned. The car might need a full tank upon being returned, but more likely that figure will be about one-quarter of a tank. Remember that figure (which should be listed on your rental agreement) and do not come in below it. You will pay a lot more per gallon if the rental agency has to put gas in the tank than if you just remember to do it yourself.Avoid renting at the airport whenever possible. • Though there might be some exceptions, renting from an agency located at the airport is almost always more expensive than renting from an off-airport location. That’s because the rental agen-cies are required to charge customers an airport fee, which can be considerable. If you’re staying at a hotel in town, con-sider renting from an agency close to your hotel as opposed to one at the airport. The savings might be considerable, and some locations might even come and pick you up at the air-port if you so desire.Don’t sleep through the vehicle inspection.• Before you take the vehicle off the lot, a customer service representative from the rental agency and you will examine the vehicle for any damage, whether that damage is significant or minor. If you don’t pay attention during this examination and the company representative misses any damage, you could very well be blamed for that damage when you return the vehicle. Company employees may be disinterested in the inspection, so it’s up to you to notice and report any damage before you take the keys.

Renting a vehicle can be a convenient solution for travelers who need a car. But drivers should exercise their due diligence to ensure they’re getting the best deal possible.

Things To Know Before Renting A Car


Alison Wallace, a fiery, God-fearing Englishwoman with a heart for the lost and hungry, founded Bridging the Gap (BTG) on September 17, 2009, and has not looked back since. On the outside, it would appear that BTG is just another food bank, one more place to get a few meals once in a while. However, unlike many other similar or-ganizations, BTG was created to “not just give people food, but find out why they needed food and give them a solution, not just a Band-Aid. We offer a hot shower and new clothing; we also give items to people for job interviews. We help fill out forms for eyeglasses and Medicaid and also help supply food to other organizations so they may better serve,” says Wallace.

BTG also holds an annual Christmas in Coweta pro-gram that supplies gifts for applicants and a summer lunch program in which volunteers prepare and hand out thou-sands of sack lunches to children across the community.

Bridging the Gap’s name comes from the ‘gap’ that must be ‘bridged’ in getting “people from point A to point B without conditions. Many people are facing struggles and should not be judged. People need a hand up, not a handout,” says Wallace. Each week, BTG serves about 400 people and gets about 15-20 volunteers. Wallace says that BTG will “be getting a lot more people because we’re donating food to Meals on Wheels and other organizations that reach the senior population.” Although the ministry has “an abun-dant supply of fresh fruits and vegetables, we’re always in need of peanut butter and jelly and spaghetti sauce, noodles, and rice,” she adds.

Bridging the Gap offers an open food distribution and soup kitchen every Saturday at 23 Andrew Street in Downtown Newnan from 10:30AM to 12:00PM. How-ever, the ministry is in the process of moving to another facility- a three-story brick building located at 19 First Avenue, Downtown Newnan. “We’ll be moving from 8000 square feet to 25000 square feet,” says Wallace, who is very excited about the change of locations. “The first two weeks of June will be a transitional period, but we’ll still be distrib-uting food on Saturdays. We will fully reopen in the first week of July.”

BTG’s office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:30AM to 2:00PM. It can also be found online at btgcommunity.org. “Financial contributions are always welcome and can be sent to P.O. Box 223; Newnan, GA 30263,” says Wallace. “We cannot continue doing what we do without the help of our community. Thank you for be-ing the hands and feet.”
