Dear Fellow residents of Fairfield Plantation, it’s getting very close to the time for you to make your selections of candidates to vote for in the upcoming
POA Board of Directors elections.
Last month, I put out an offer to ALL CANDIDATES, to submit to this newspaper their “Positions/Platforms” for the review by our Readers/Residents of Fairfield Plantation. I unfortunately only received 3 including one for myself, which you will find on pages 10 and 11. Why did the other three candidates choose not to sub-mit? I don't have that answer for you. I guess it is possible that they just don't read this newspaper or maybe it is for
another reason, who knows.
I will tell you that even though I am disappointed that I did not get submis-sions from all candidates, I am very im-pressed with the ones that I did receive. All of the candidates that did submit sum-maries of their positions, IMHO have a true heartfelt desire to improve this com-munity. They have also demonstrated this desire with their actions and volunteerism
over the years they have lived here.
I ask YOU, the reader and Resident to please take time to review these submis-sions and include them in your decision for POA Board Candidate selections. I truly believe that this year the community has both a vast array of candidates to select from and an opportunity to get a more diverse representation of the community as a whole. There is not any reason not to
vote this year and ALL THE REASON TOO.
The decisions the POA Board makes each and every day affects the value of the LARGEST investments that most will
ever make in a LIFETIME (YOUR HOMES).
One of the main reasons for me start-ing this newspaper 2 years ago is this moment. The moment that I could help educate residents and help influence positive change within this community. I have heard too many times from my neighbors that they do not have a voice. This is YOUR moment. You do have a
voice.
This Newspaper’s policy since it’s conception was to be open to any resi-dent that cared enough to submit an arti-cle. And it remains that way till this day. The only rules were that there would be, NO PERSONAL ATTACKS and that the arti-cle could not be based solely on gossip, the article had to be as much facts as possible. Some articles were called arti-cles and some were called Commentary because they were based more on feel-ings than fact but did not include personal
attacks.
I have done the best that I could with this newspaper, with my limited time and the normal financial responsibility of oper-ating a business. Although this newspaper is not perfect, I am very proud of what I have accomplished with the help from my
many Contributors and Advertisers.
Please do not misunderstand, I did not start the newspaper so I could be elected to the POA Board. I actually never had any intention on running. I just
wanted to give the opportunity to other good quality candidates to be fairly repre-sented and for the residents to have the opportunity to be informed. I truly feel that
I have done both.
Now, Neighbors and Fellow Resi-dents. It is your turn. Will you participate,? Will you get involved, at least in a small
way? WILL YOU VOTE?
All three of the Candidates featured in this issue are on Facebook. I know a lot of people have issue with Facebook but, it is one of the most efficient and cost effec-
tive ways to get a message out.
I would encourage every reader to reach out to these 3 candidates and the others that did not submit their plat-forms/positions in this issue, so you may be better informed to make a decision
and BY ALL MEANS, please VOTE.

tance in these areas.
You may want to consider consulting a Pro-fessional Geriatric Care Manager, a profes-sional who may help arrange for home care, provide crisis intervention, and help you identify solutions to potential problems. You can learn
more at www.caremanager.org.
Managing a parent's affairs can be compli-cated, but arranging for support from qualified people may help you care for parents in a way that meets their needs and does not create too
much stress on you.

Elder Care: How to Help Your Parents Manage It's a decision most adults dread: having to take over the financial and day-to-day living decisions for parents who can no longer manage on their own. When caring for your parents, you may need to plan on three levels: managing finances, making health care decisions, and making sure their daily household needs are met. Find-ing qualified experts who can advise you in these ar-
eas may make it easier to manage the situation.
Managing Finances
If your parents currently are able to communicate, try to initiate a conversation about how they would like their money to be managed. Rather than telling them what to do, be clear that you would like to help and to make sure that their wishes are met. Access to bank and brokerage statements, insurance policies, and other financial documents may help you to safeguard
your parents' assets.
If your parents work with a financial advisor, try to arrange a joint meeting where all parties can re-view the situation. If you pay your parents' bills and manage their checkbook, arranging for direct deposit of Social Security or pension benefits, as well as elec-tronic delivery of recurring bills, could expedite the
process.
Arranging for Health Care
If your parents are mentally competent, ask them about consulting a lawyer who can draft a health care proxy, a legal document designating you (or another person) to make decisions about medical care when they are no longer able to do so. If your parents have opinions about end-of-life care, their wishes can be incorporated into a living will, another legal docu-
ment.
Even without these documents, the medical es-tablishment is likely to look to you or other siblings to make decisions about health care, which could in-clude arranging for long-term care or making end-of-life decisions. As part of this process, determine the type of medical insurance that your parents have and
what it covers.
Overseeing Daily Living Activities
If your parents are able to remain in their home, you may need to consider helping them to manage medication, to conduct daily tasks such as bathing or

Commissioner Corner
August, 2013
Three of the most dreaded words you will ever hear…you have can-cer! One in every two people will come down with cancer during their lifetime. The American Cancer Society (ACS) is conducting a Cancer Pre-venting study called CPS-
3.
CPS-3 is the first cancer study to be performed
since the 1954 study on smoking. Two fellas were out to prove that cigarettes did not cause cancer. What they got was exactly opposite…smoking does cause cancer. Data continues to be collected for
CPS-2 on the affects of smoking and cancer.
You have a real opportunity to participate in a cancer prevention study. The goal of CPS-3 is to better understand the factors (environmental, life-style, genetic) that cause or prevent cancer and, ultimately, to help eliminate cancer as a major health concern for future generations. What if you could prevent your children or grandchildren from getting cancer? This is your chance if you meet
certain criteria.
To participate you must be between 30 and 65 years of age and never have been diagnosed with cancer. There is an exception if you have had a basal skin cancer. You must register for an ap-pointment on either September 17th or September 19th, 2013, to complete your registration. You will go on line to: www.CPS3WestGa.org or if you do not have computer access, you can call 1-888-604-5888. You must make an appointment for one of the above dates. Those are the only two days the American Cancer Society will be in Carrollton/Villa
Rica area.
When you come for your appointment, you will be there for about 20 minutes. A blood sample, waist measurement, and a short survey are all that is required. This is the first time that a blood sam-ple has been taken during a study. This blood will be frozen until a later date. When you go to the above website, there is a survey you will complete before you go to your appointment. This survey will take you between 30 and 45 minutes. It is asking information about you, medications, lifestyle, etc. You will then be given a number. Bring this number
with you when you come for your appointment.
It is important for all racial/ethnic groups to enroll, men and women. Liver cancer rates are higher in Hispanics than non-Hispanic whites. Why? African American men have a higher inci-dence of prostate cancer compared to white men. Why? The incidence and death from lung cancer is higher in African American men than white men. Why? The incidence of breast cancer in young women (under the age of 40) is higher in African American women compared to white women. Why?
CPS-3 will allow us to better understand why.
Why a waist measurement? Many conditions, such as insulin resistance, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions, are highly related to waist circumference. Many of these conditions are also related to the development of cancer. Thus, getting
this simple waist measurement will provide very
important information to researchers in the future.
A blood sample can measure such things as hormones, nutrients, vitamins, chemicals, metals, and genetic factors that may be related to your risk of developing cancer. All blood samples will be frozen and stored in a secured biorepository facility.
Samples will be analyzed as cancer cases occur.
You will be followed for 20 years or more. You will be sent a questionnaire in the mail to complete about every two years. As cases of cancer or other diseases develop, they will compare those partici-pants who develop cancer with those participants who do not. By doing so, we are able to understand the differences (in lifestyle, environment, and ge-netic factors) between people who get cancer and those who do not, what the likely risk factors are for cancer, and how to best prevent disease in the fu-ture. The ACS also wants to learn if environmental, lifestyle, and genetic factors influence treatment outcomes, survival, and quality of life following a
cancer diagnosis.
Please visit the website at www.cancer.org/cps3, email at [email protected] or call 1-888-604-5888 for more information. The first step is to
make an appointment! What do you have to lose?
You will soon be receiving your proxy in the mail for POA Board. I really only know two people. Marc Latanzio is a current Board member and works for the Carroll County sheriff’s office. Marc is a nice guy. I do not know how he voted in most circum-stances. He has missed several meetings and maybe work has caused that. But, attendance is critical for being a Board meeting. The meetings are the same time each month, so you plan your schedule accordingly. The other issue is when the $80,000 came up short from the marina, why could he not bring in the sheriff’s office for an investiga-tion? Maybe that was done and we do not know about it. Those are just reasonable questions to
ask.
Billy Priest is the other. Billy is one of the nic-est people I know in the universe; nice to everyone. But, nice does not make you a good Board mem-ber. But, it sure helps if you have a reasonable, peacemaker in the crowd. Billy started this news-paper and everyone has been afraid he was going to “blast” people or make the POA look bad. I have
never seen anything but the truths come out of his mouth. He is honest and has integrity. Billy has offered all candidates free space in HIS newspaper to tell everyone about themselves. How many peo-ple would do that? If we want to be kept informed with the truth about the activities in Fairfield, Billy will let us know. Billy Priest is needed on our
Board.
You do not have to vote for three people on the proxy, you can, but you don’t have to. If you do not know the people, do not vote. Just like political races. If I do not know the judges or certain other people on the ballot, I leave that spot blank. Same
goes for this situation.
I have heard “stories” started about different candidates. Don’t listen to gossip. Go find out the correct information yourself. Ask the candidates directly. Then assign your proxy or go the meeting
and vote!
I had the assessment for our vacant lot almost saved and guess what? One of our air conditioning units went out. Now let’s see…which one should I pay first? Well, I will fill you in on a little secret. MENOPAUSE! Never been so hot in my life! Air conditioner has to win out first. When momma ain’t happy, even the dogs go and hide! I have received my collection letter from Stephen A. Winter’s group. It’s a shame we have to now give him a percentage of collections. I thought I was going to win the $450 million lottery the other night and the very first thing I was going to do was pay the vacant lot assessment! But the Ocean 16 group won up north somewhere, so I will work on the next big one. I feel good when I have cash to spend a dollar or two on the lottery. That is how we fund HOPE scholar-ships. I gave the four girls in my office a ticket and made them pledge to give me half if they won! They had no problem with that because half is bet-
ter than none!
All joking aside, we will pay that second assess-ment as soon as we can. We have not been to the club all summer, no vacation, and no extras. Gotta have my blood pressure medicine though; it’s
called Apothic Red!!!!
Be kind to one another this month! It is said you reap what you sow! So sow some happy seeds
and get happy back!

them a chance to get back on their feet. However, the needs grew exponentially as families lost their homes in foreclosure, jobs were lost, people with injuries and illness required assistance, homeless adults and children needed shelter and food and the number and variety of needs seem endless in
our supposedly wealthy society.
But the Lord has provided beyond all expecta-tions. Concerned Citizens, Local Grocery Stores, Warehouse of Hope, Atlanta Food Bank, Local Busi-ness Owners, Food Distributors and many others donate food, material and services which supple-
ment Church Member contributions,
In 2011 we outgrew the trailer and the church sponsored the rental of a 4000 sq. ft. bldg across the highway. In order to qualify for certain assis-tance programs, we became a separate legal entity called Lifeline Mission. A blessed donor gave us 10 Acres of land where we now grow vegetables, other contributors allowed us to get a walk-in freezer and a walk-in refrigerator. In 2012 we gave the needy 66 Tons of Food, 47 Thousand articles of clothing and accessories, hundreds of appliances and furni-ture and assisted many with home services, etc. to
15,000 people.
In 2013 we again outgrew our facility and moved the clothing/furniture operation back to the trailer located beside the church office building. We presently serve approximately 150 families a week. Church members continue to provide monetary and food contributions and thirty plus helpers several days a week in food service, not to mention the con-struction, delivery, material handling, computer and logistic support for the operation. We even serve
Hot Meals to over 50 needy families monthly.
As the needs arise, the Lord continues to pro-vide. Therefore, we continue “Helping our
Neighbors in their Hour of Need”

Midway Church has a “home mission” which provides assistance to the needy right here at home. This began as a vision of one member, Mr. Paul Gentry, who wanted to serve the needy at home as well our foreign missions. Our Pastor, Mr. Todd Wright agreed and the program began in a basement room of the Church Office Building in
2007.
As donations by church members grew and the needy became aware of the program, we quickly outgrew the basement room and in 2009 moved into an office trailer behind the office building. The program expanded to include clothing as awareness of the needs of our neighbors grew and as the econ-
omy declined.
Recipients have to prove their need and can only stay in the program a few weeks, but it gives

Nowadays everyone is trying to save money. With mainstream applications almost costing a kidney it is not surprising that people look to the web for cheap or free software. However cheap, or free, software brings with it little apps that are hidden away beneath
all the dialog boxes…
Depending on how you handle them, unwanted programs can be a minor annoyance - or a pain in the rear: the trick is paying atten-
tion.
Nowadays, installing a free program can certainly feel like running a gauntlet. You go to the program's website, click the big, colorful DOWNLOAD button, and end up with an entirely different program! You try again, only to discover you’re required to download some
sort of download manager to download the app you really want.
Eventually, as in two or more shots of Bailey’s later, you install the desired software, sit back, and heave a big old sigh of relief. But just as you're getting serious one or more unwanted icons mysteriously appear on your desktop, or those really annoying browser
toolbars, or an unknown icon in the system tray for example. Now you’re going to have to waste more time removing the unwanted software. I bet you’ll be won-
dering whether that free program was worth the effort…
I recommend quite a bit of free software to clients who need something for one or two uses a month. However, just lately many of those recommendations have to come with warnings. Today I'm discussing the bad that goes with the good - why it happens, what to look for, and how to keep it from becoming more than
a minor irritation.
Oh, the perils of clicking free-download buttons
Unwanted software comes in many forms, from mainstream applications such as Chrome to those annoying browser toolbars to really sketchy software that
wants to “fix” your system. Yeah, it’ll “fix” your system all right!
A lot of people are under the impression that unwanted software is actually malware, but that's a bit of an exaggeration. Yeah, it often gets onto your com-
puter in a sneaky manner, and yes some versions do invade your privacy, reporting your surfing and shopping habits for targeted advertising and popups.
But in most cases, this un-asked for software does nothing illegal, really. They do however hide your implied permission to install in microscopic text you’ll need an electron microscope to read. It's fairly easy to avoid too, and in most cases it can be easily uninstalled without resorting to an anti-malware tool. How-
ever, some unwanted software takes more work to remove than just simply running an uninstaller.
OK. Let’s take a look at the procedure. Getting unwanted software typically begins right at the download button. Consider, for example, a little utility called Eraser, an excellent program that securely and completely “shreds” or deletes files. I've recommended Eraser in the past and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it again. Take a look at Eraser on www.download.cnet.com. See all those big green Download buttons in Figure 1 that scream Download? Only one of them actually
downloads the application you want. To get Eraser, you need to click the small, green, Download Now button with CNET Installer Enabled button. (Those green buttons are
actually ads that change over time.)
Figure 1. That big green Download button can easily trick you into installing an un-
wanted app.
Sometimes you are required to download a downloader before you can download the program. Try saying that fast after those shots of Bailey’s. This is just about default on CNET's Download.com, which happens to be one of the most popular repositories of clean software on the Web: many of the programs on the site don't download directly; the big green Download Now button delivers the CNET Download utility. It, in turn,
downloads the software you want - often after pitching something else, of course.
Fortunately, the CNET Downloader doesn't stay on your system after you've downloaded the desired software. However, it most definitely does try to coax you into
downloading more programs than the one you wanted. See Figure 2.

What really makes me believe I am up to the challenge to be a Board of Director? Leadership, leadership and leadership.
Every property owner association has a board of directors, some are good and some are bad. But in almost every instance
you will find great leadership on the good boards. That is exactly what I will bring to our community if I am elected.
I am a firm believer that leadership has a positive influence and a direct connection to the success of any organization; in
our case, our community. I have learned from being in leadership rolls that people prefer 9 to 1 to be lead, not managed.
Sometimes leaders are called upon to make difficult decisions, and the greatest leaders are those who help their community make those decisions for themselves. You can never communicate to much. An informed community is a happy community, and I would strongly encourage good communication between the board of directors, contractors, employee’s, but most importantly, with you the property owners. We deserve to know exactly what our community is doing, where it is going, and a vision to guide us. Non of that has happen in the seven years my family and I have lived here. How many of you
can say the same thing?
I also know that all great leaders know how to listen. In our community there is a wealth of talent right under our nose, people that can help identify and solve our communities needs. It’s time we unleash that knowledge by bringing all parties together to help make where we live the greatest place on earth. It is high time we encourage, not discourage those who want to be involved. A diverse community like ours has different needs and different wants. That is why it is so important to talk to our neighbors, listen to what they have to say and encourage them to get involved. After all, everyone of us have a
vested interest in where we live. God forbid we find out our neighbors we have been living next door to for years have some pretty good ideas.
Another sign of a great leader; be a team player. I firmly believe there is no “I” in team. If I am elected to the Board of Directors, I will be a team player. But, let me make it crystal clear, that does not mean I will agree with every decision made. “Debate is good”; every single property owner deserves to be considered
with every decision concerning “Our” community.
Next, all good leaders do not believe there is such a thing as a stupid question. I am a very confident person with a wealth of knowledge in several areas, but I do not pretend to know everything there is about running our community. I am not afraid to ask questions and reach out to our professional neighbors for help.
After all, it is in our best interest to see our community succeed.
Last but not least, I will be reasonable and fair with people, not only am I referring to property owners, the board members, employee’s, but our contractors as well. Everyone in our community deserves to be treated with respect, that means I will rely heavily on the golden rule, “treat everyone the same way I want to be treated. Whether you live on the golf course, on the lake or in an interior home, I will not treat anyone any differently. We are all equal and important to the
success of our community.
I hope you take the time to familiarize yourself with all six candidates running for the Board of Directors. Three of us will be board members come late
September 2013. Your vote is more important than in any other year’s election.

Vote: David Hightower for POA Board member – I am a Family oriented man with 8 children and we all love Fairfield. We have lived here for the past 2 years. I manage a successful contracting business in tough times and I feel that I can share my knowledge with TIGHT budgeting and future growth, with the community. I want to help FFP grow in a Safe and
affordable manor so that all my children might choose to live in FFP one day. Cast your Vote for a Fresh set of eyes.
I want to help build a strong community centered on what we currently have to offer which is the bases of why we all chose
to live in FFP.
I want to be able to review and address concerns of the property owners and the needs of a growing yet out dated facility.
Lot organization: We need to come up with a new set of guidelines to be able to generate some form of revenue and at the same time gives an incentive to builders/lot owners. Maybe we can establish a 2 to 3 year gradual increase of dues for new lot owners and even review a similar plan for existing lot Owners to get back in good standings. They would need to sign a legal document up front which would turn the property over to FFP if they failed to meet the payments of the forgiveness
program. We need to come up with an aggressive plan to address the outstanding dues and abandon lots.
Future growth: Finances in reserve to handle unexpected Needs, For us to be able to handle Increase housing (300 to 1,000 over the next 10 years), savings/fund raising needed to renovate and or replace our outdated facilities. We need to
be planning far out ahead of our growth; last minute planning comes at a higher cost.
We may need to step back and restructure our Club house restaurant to a cold cut facility, during the week and hot foods on
the weekend, until we can establish a positive income.
Property control: We need to make sure that when lots are sold, guidelines are distributed up front with gate passes and that the current houses comply. I
feel that this is getting a little out of control.
I would like to see a bigger push toward uniting the community through volunteer participation. There is great cost savings associated with community
involvement.

Look me up on Facebook
Dear friends, neighbors and resi-dents of Fairfield
Plantation,
I have decided to run as a candidate for the POA Board. When asked re-cently if I had the time to do this, I said no, not really. The person asking the question seemed a little shocked but it was an honest reply. I followed the answer
with “does anyone really have the free time to do such a job?”. The answer to that question in most cases, is also no but, someone has to do it and I feel that it is very important that not only to do my part as a con-cerned resident of Fairfield Plantation but also to offer my Neighbors an opportunity to vote for someone who will always be totally honest and keep every resident in mind when making decisions/plans for the future of
this community.
I personally cannot and will not make any prom-ises to change anything. All I can promise each resi-dent of Fairfield Plantation that I will do my very best and always operate, communicate and work with the rest of the POA Board members and residents in a professional manner with integrity and honesty. I will also encourage the other POA Board members to do the same. I will try and encourage different ideas and the consideration of all options to be considered when making decisions that are in the best interest of the
WHOLE Community.
There is a picture on the bottom of this page that sums up entirely why I am running for the POA Board (My Family). They along with my very Dear Neighbors that I have come to love, is why I am running. I not only want to see this community to be able to continue but
to Thrive.
There are two other articles on the opposite page of this one submitted by two other candidates, stating their positions. I want to go on record and say, “My Family will be voting for both of these Gentlemen/
Candidates”. I have spoken to both of them and along with these submissions, I am confident that these gen-tlemen not only have the WHOLE COMMUNITY’S best interest at heart, they have demonstrated it with years of community service. They both have many family members living here in Fairfield Plantation and like
myself, have a vested interest in seeing this commu-nity prosper. I ask those of you that are voting for me to please consider these Gentlemen as well. It is a big Job and If elected, We all will need help from like
minded individuals.
You will find below, a brief but accurate state-ment from my campaign concerning my positions and reasons that I feel the residents should vote for me. I would also suggest that all residents seek out the same positions of the other candidates so you may make an informed decision when casting your votes
for three candidates in this next POA Board Election.
Whatever your decision and whomever you de-cide to vote for, I do STRONGLY encourage each and
every resident to PLEASE VOTE!
Understand that a vote not used, is still a vote and potentially describes to the POA Board that you are very satisfied with how things are whether that be
the case or not.
If you have any questions or misunderstandings of our voting system, you may contact Ian Stone at the POA Office or also feel free to contact myself at [email protected] or Tammy Priest
([email protected]), (Home Phone –770-809-9217).

cut in bangs. Seriously, a woman in an outdated
skirt set and I were the only ones with our fore-
heads covered by hair. Am I that out of style? How
did this happen to me.
When I arrived home I told Mister about being out of
step with fashion. He turned on the TV to check the
weather and pointed out that the meteorologist did-
n’t have bangs either. When I stuck my tongue out
at the weather girl Mister told me that this was easy
to solve, just grow my bangs out.
And that started my time in hair purgatory. I can’t
seem to get past the needing a trim stage. I am fine
with my bangs hanging in my eyes, but a little length
and this summer’s humidity cause a weird half curl
to form. It looks a lot like a cornucopia from a
Thanksgiving table. And then I trim my hair again.
It is a vicious cycle; my bangs never look properly
trimmed, and never get long enough to not be
bangs.
On the bright side; Sam McKnight, stylist for the
Chanel shows and Vogue magazine, has said that
“…a growing-out fringe (bang) is a big trend for next
season.”

other and as long as it is on green, and you haven’t exploded, they bring you all the quality meat you can eat. The offering is filet, ribeye, strip, top and bottom round, lamb chops (my favorite), chicken, sausage, sirloin, ribs, pork loin. This meat is all cooked over an open fire on a spit, which they bring right to the table and cut off of onto your plate. Oh yea, and they have a salad bar but ain’t nobody got
time for that.
If we are going to go out anywhere else for steak we tend to like the places that cook them at
super high temps, around 1500⁰, so they are a little crusty on the outside but a nice, juicy red on the inside. We haven’t figured out how to do this at home so we leave it to the professionals. Chops, Morton’s, and Rathbuns are a few of our favorites in the city. Blue Steakhouse right here in Carrollton
does a fine job curbing my steak cravings too. Their steaks are always prepared just like we order and the sides are delish. The garlic mashed potatoes and spicy green beans are especially scrumptious. Aside from the meat (hey I am a lady after all) their desserts are fantastic! They have a Southern Gen-tleman cake that I have ordered another piece of to take home after eating one there. They also have live music pretty often, which is just another bonus
aside from the tasty eats.
Well after writing this it looks like the chicken I had pulled out for dinner just isn’t going to cut it.

Every once in a while I get a hankerin’ for a big ol’ steak. I’m sure my eating partner in crime wishes it were more often but hey
that makes him appreciate it more, right? For the longest time the ultimate steak debate in our house was filet vs ribeye. I love the marbled flavor, aka fat, that the ribeye possesses and he loves the ‘cut like butter’ texture of the filet. If only food engi-neers could make a hybrid steak that has both of these characteristics; name it the fibeye or riblet. Most recently we have started eating 1 cut that has temporarily ended the debate and that is a NY strip. Good stuff! Usually if I want a steak I head to Car-rollton and pick up a couple at Farmer’s Fresh or Farmer’s Cupboard and have my eating partner grill them up. Paired with a garden fresh salad, baked potato and a sweet onion that has been grilled with butter and a beef bouillon cube is yummy in the
tummy.
If I am really in a carnivorous mood we go to Fogo de Chao. This is a Brazilian steakhouse where meat lovers go to experience heaven right here on Earth. The menu/premise is simple- you get a coaster that is green on one side and red on the

Garden Club Yard of the Month for August 2013
belongs to Larry and Sandra Nix, 3152 Sweetbriar.
Sandra and Larry bought this run down rental home 2 years ago and have been working on it ever since and say they have lots more to go yet. Neighbors
around them have stopped in to tell them how much they appreciate their hard work and how nice
they have made it look so far.
The Nix's owned another home in Fairfield for 4 years prior to downsizing to this
home. Of course, if Larry looks familiar to some of you, he is the Car-rollton Home Depot man. His yard shows he knows his
stuff.
They have 2 grown sons and 6 grand-children, ages 7 to 20 yrs. Sandra worked in accounting for 20 yrs. Larry
and Sandra invite all to
come by at Christmas time to see their Christmas outdoor display of
lights.
The Garden Club would like to thank Larry and Sandra Nix for helping make Fairfield a beautiful place to
live.

Tennis Park Walkway Project
The Tennis Club of Fairfield Plantation is plan-ning the development of a Tennis Park to enhance the environment and facilities around the existing tennis courts and swimming pool at the Golf Club and Restaurant for all residents. This development will consist of landscaping, walkways, water feature and amenities, including water fountains, picnic tables and a water mister. All funding will provided by the Tennis Club using monies raised through tournaments and other activities over the past few
years.
To ensure that the project can be fully imple-mented, there will be an opportunity for Fairfield residents to purchase two types of walkway paving stone, both of which will be inscribed with desired text before being placed in the walkway. The text to be used on the plain 16" square paving stones will be 2" high and may consist of up to 6 lines of 15 characters each at a total cost of $100. The text to be used on a brick of a 16" square paving stone divided into 8 bricks will be 1/2" high and consist of up to 3 lines of 18 characters each at a total cost of $50. The intent of the inscription is typically to remember a loved one, to cherish a family member
or friend, or to advertise an endeavor .
Example of the formats for the inscriptions,
which will be centered:
The project has space for up to 150 stones, and all proceeds from this project will be used for the Tennis Park, which it is anticipated will open at the end of the year. Sign up for the inscribed stones will be available at the tennis courts over the period of the July 4th Tennis Tour-
nament (July 4 -7).

AICR (American Institute for Cancer Research) Recommendations for
Cutting Breast Cancer Risk
Dr. Habiba N. Shaw
WASHINGTON, DC — Post-menopausal women who follow at least five Recommendations for Cancer Prevention from the American Insti-tute for Cancer Research (AICR) cut their risk of developing breast cancer by more than half, compared to those who meet none, suggests
a new study that adds to previous research showing that women’s risk decreases when they follow AICR’s Recommendations.
In the latest study, published early in the online edition of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, the three recommendations that most helped women reduce their risk of breast cancer were eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains; being a healthy
weight; and drinking no more than one alcoholic beverage a day.
According to the study’s lead author, Dr. Theresa Hastert of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, “In our study, meeting just the recommendation related to alco-hol was associated with a 37% reduction in breast cancer risk, while [some other recommendations] were not associated with reductions in risk on their own. Because [AICR’s Recommendations for Cancer Prevention] were developed to reduce incidence of all of the most common cancers worldwide, it makes sense
that not all of them directly impact each individual cancer.”
But when it comes to postmenopausal breast cancer, Hastert and her colleagues say “The most important finding is that meeting the recommendations related
to body fatness, plant foods, and alcohol was associated with a substantial reduction in risk.”
“This new study adds to the growing research showing that AICR’s Recommendations make a very real and measurable difference when it comes to reducing the
risk of breast cancer,” said AICR’s Director of Research, Susan Higginbotham, RD, PhD.
Dr. Higginbotham noted that a much larger study released last year also found that women who followed AICR’s recommendations had a reduced risk of breast cancer, along with many other cancers, though that decrease was more modest. That study, the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC), found that women who followed five or more recommendations had a 16 percent reduced risk of breast cancer compared to those who followed fewer than three. Notably, one-third of the women in that study were premenopausal. (Lifestyle plays a different role in premenopausal breast cancer than it does in postmenopausal breast
cancer.)
N E W S T U D Y D O C UM E N T S L A R G E P R O T E C T I V E E F F E C T S
In the new study, researchers used data from approximately 31,000 participants of the VITamins And Lifestyle (VITAL) study. The women were ages 50 to 76 at the start and had no history of breast cancer. When the study began, the women filled out questionnaires on their eating habits, weight, physical activity, medi-
cines they take and other factors that may play a role in breast cancer risk.
The researchers focused on six of AICR’s ten Recommendations for Cancer Prevention:
Stay as lean as possible without becoming underweight.
Be physically active. (For this study, women met this recommendation if they were active at least 30 minutes per day at least five days a week.)
Limit consumption of calorie-dense foods and avoid sugary drinks.
Eat a plant-based diet that includes a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans. (For the study, women met this recommendation if they ate at
least five servings of fruits and/or non-starchy vegetables and also at least one serving of whole grains and/or legumes per day.)
Limit intake of red meat and avoid processed meat. (For the study, women met this recommendation if they ate less than 18 ounces of red or processed
meat per week.)
If you consume alcohol, limit yourself to one drink per day.
AICR’s other four Recommendations for Cancer Prevention were not included, as data were either unavailable (in the case of the Recommendations related to limiting salt, breastfeeding, and not relying on dietary supplements for protection) or were not applicable (in the case of the AICR Recommendation geared to can-
cer survivors).
After almost seven years, 899 of the women had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Overall, following any five of the recommendations was associated with a 60 percent reduced risk of developing breast cancer, compared to women who did not adhere to any of the recommenda-
tions.
Meeting two to four of the recommendations was associated with cut-
ting risk almost in half (44 to 48 percent reduced risk).
T H E G R E A T E S T P R O T E C T I O N ?
When the researchers focused on specific recommendations, they found the ones most linked to reduced risk were those related to carrying less body fat, eating plant foods, and avoiding alcohol. In this study, women who met all three of these recommendations had a slightly more than 60 percent reduced risk compared to women who met none of these
three.
The AICR Recommendations for Cancer Prevention examined in this lat-est study came from AICR’s report and its continuous updates, which have concluded that women can reduce their risk of postmenopausal breast cancer by being physically active, staying a healthy weight, not drinking alcohol, and breastfeeding one’s child. AICR estimates that 38 percent of breast cancer cases in the US could be prevented by follow-
ing these recommendations.
The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements. Published on
June 24, 2013

Your body is

the alcohol so
it wants the
richest source

which is fat.
This is why you
crave greasy food
after a night of

WINE OR WAISTLINE???
By Wilhelmina Barry, IFTA Certified Personal
Trainer & Nutritionist
Let’s face it, sometimes there is nothing bet-
ter than a glass of wine at the end of a long day!
Especially with your friends at Fairfield cruising on
your pontoon boat or sitting at the Marina!! But,
sipping too much can wreak havoc on your waist-
line. Not only from the hundreds of extra calories, it
also temporarily keeps your body from burning far.
Dr Peeke, author of “The Hunger Fix” ex-
plains that your body can’t store calories from alco-
hol for later, the way it does with food calories.
When you drink, your metabolic system must stop
what it’s doing to get rid of the alcohol. Drinking
‘pauses’ your metabolism, shoves away the other
calories and has to break down the alcohol first.
The result is that whatever you recently ate before
or during your alcohol drink, gets stored as fat. Re-
search has uncovered that alcohol especially de-
creases fat burn in the belly. So, whats a girl to do?
Here are a few ‘Rules’ researchers have found that
can help you enjoy your sip of wine & still be able to
zip up your jeans;
RULE # 1; Always eat when you drink ; or be-
fore you go out is even better. The correct food is
the key; food high in protein, fiber & a healthy fat.
RULE # 2; Some drinks make you hungry-stay
away from those; The sweet & fancy ones have
more calories & the spike in your blood sugar can
make you hungry. Stick with beer, wine or a shot of
