Copeland recalled childhoodmemories o his parents thatinspire his own service to thecommunity. He described hismothers lie as a dedicatedschool teacher, club advisorand cheer coach. She took onthings not because she had anabundance o ree time witha household o our kids, butbecause i not her, who would dothose things? he said.

As Copeland began discussinghis ather, his voice broke. My

ather - the ultimate Renaissanceman, he said. There was nothinghe wouldnt try to build, x, or insome cases disassemble beyonddisrepair. He passed away in2002. Copeland said thoughhis ather sometimes workedtwo or three jobs at a time toput his children through school,he hardly remembers a supper,ootball or tee-ball game hisather missed.

Dad would volunteer, umpire orcoach, depending upon the need.Most o those years my motherwas there too, stocking andrunning concessions. Examples o

service to others and the desireto make lie just that much betteror other olks started right thereor me watching those sacriceso their time or the benet oothers, said Copeland.

Copeland also listed severalormer Man o the Year recipientsas role models and infuences.

As I look back on signicantevents, orks in the road thatwere placed in ront o me, I canthelp but acknowledge Godsguiding hand in that...Its not loston me that some o Grins bestleaders... were also men o aith,

said Copeland.

Copeland was chosen by theGrin Exchange Club as the2010 Man o the Year becausehis "depth o involvement inbroad areas, including serviceorganizations, proessionalorganizations, education,health and wellness, businessdevelopment, with his churchand with his amily, makes a verybold statement o commitmentto the Grin community, saidBill Thielemann, who presentedCopelands achievement reviewat the ceremony.

Embarking on Buffalos OpenMic night opened my ears up tooriginal, live sounds that my lifehas been lacking (some artistsincluding Jacob Roper, GregNeel, Matt and Lea Herring,and Tyler Hill). Emily Stilwell, a19-year-old from Stockbridge,was setting up when I got there.

Wide-eyed and hopeful, herincredibly soulful voice was thelast thing I expected. Coveringsome of my personal favorites, Iwas truly intrigued by her bluesyand folksy remixes. After her set,I was determined to do whatI could to make sure everyonehad an opportunity to know thisrevelation in local music.

KB: I heard you perorm or therst time at Bualos Open MicNight, headed up by MatthewFloyd (o Sage Hill String Band).Since you are rom out o town,how did you get involved withthis weekly Grin event?

ES: I used to play weeklyat Vendettas Pizza Cae in

McDonough. A ormer managero mine hooked me up with thatgig, and thats where there I metthe lovely Christina Jones. Sheintroduced me to the also lovelyMatt Floyd when we starteddoing open mics. Matt invited me

out (to Bualos) and I just lovedthe crowd so much. I denitelyreceived good vibes romeveryone, and it was nice seeingunamiliar aces, so Ive become aregular. I play basically anywhereI can: rom Pedros Taco Shack to

Taco Mac. I did some at ArenaTavern and El Agave. Im tryingto get urther away rom thingsthat Im comortable in, though,and will probably be playing abit in Atlanta and Athens. I amdenitely looking orward to agig up at Eddies Attic.

KB: I think music is an art ormthat really translates the history,heartaches and joys, o themusician. What experiences orinfuences do you draw rom tocreate your own personal sound?

ES: As clich as it may be, I startedmusic as a teenage girl. Thatbeing said, during the bulk o mywriting years I ocused on love.Ater having been crushed atergood relationships, and beatendown a bit in one particularly badone, I developed my bluesy, soultype o sound and I denitely eel

like its my own.

KB: You cover a lot o great songsin a wondrously unique way. Doyou also write your own originaltunes?

ES: Yes. Actually, 90 percent othe time i Im playing and youdont recognize the amiliar tuneit is one o my own. When I playmy sets I try to weasel them inthere rom time to time. The setlist kind o goes cover, original,cover, original, etc. I want to keepthe amiliarity fowing while atthe same time throwing in a littlesomething theyve never heardbeore, eel me?

KB: What is your ultimate goalwhen it comes to your art?

ES: Id say my ultimate goal as aras my music goes would be to bethe best that Im capable o. Ivewritten plenty o music, but thatwhich I eel the most condentand attachment towards arethose that Ive written in myadult years. I want to have thateeling o release when youput pain on paper, but at thesame time I want my music tobe encouraging. I want to writemusic that has a very unique butear-pleasing sound, somethingo my own. It would be theabsolute best thing i I couldwrite the type o music thatpeople just cant sit still listening

to. I believe that above all else,however, I want people to hearmy soul in my music; Ive alwayselt like that was what makesmusic poetic, and altogethermakes real music real art.

Timber Hines, known in theAtlanta Roller Girls Communityas Bullie Jean King, grew up inGrin, graduating rom GrinHigh School. Hines degreesinclude a masters degree inexercise science and a bachelorsdegree in therapeutic recreationrom Georgia State University.Her sport o choice or the lastthree years has been roller derby- an intense, ull-contact rollerskating game where the girls givethemselves names such as BruzeOrman, Slamborghini, EmmaWantsome and Rebel Yellow...

Can you tell us a little bit about how youcame to participate in such a contactsport?I eel very lucky to have grownup going to school and playingin sports since I was 6 yearsold with Grin Parks andRecreation and Grin publicschools. I have always lovedrunning and remember my rstroad race when I was 6 wasthe WKEU Grin Radio RoadRace. Since then I have justalways enjoyed being active,

and so ar have ran in 15 halmarathons and tons o 5k and10k races.I started watching the AtlantaRollergirls about six years agobecause I had a riend thatstarted playing. I just loved howathletic the women were andthe strategy o the game. I reallyenjoyed skating when I wasyounger - I learned how to skateat Spencers Skating Rink and theGrin Skate Inn. You could ndme and my brothers, Kirk andGabe there a lot o Friday nights.I nally got the courage up totryout three and a hal years agoand have been playing ever since.We practice three to our times

a week or two hours so it is agreat work out regime and a bigcommitment.

What do we need to knowabout the game itsel?

The rules o roller derby and ourinormation about our league islocated at www.atlantarollergirls.com. Basic game play is that youhave a pack o blockers and one

jammer or each team. Jammersare held back as the blockersround the rst corner. Jammershave to work their way throughthe pack to become the lead

jammer and score points.

What position do you play?My position is a blocker. Therole o a blocker is to get my

jammer through the pack so she

can score points, while hittingand blocking the opposingteams jammer so she can notget through our pack and scorepoints.Whats the deal withthe roller derbyalter egos?My rollergirl nameis Bullie Jean Kingand my numberis 40# Love on theApocalypstix team.We all have rollerderby names and itis like we have alteregos! A riend omine came up withthe name and it juststuck. It is a take oo the tennis legendin womens sports andequality, Billie JeanKing.

Why play such arough sport?I play becauseit does keep meactive and I havereally enjoyed the

experience and riends that I havemade. Nothing is staged. Wereally hit and we really all hard.Our team is ull o strong,smart, athletic women. We haveall kinds o women who are in theleague, mothers, PhDs, lawyers,teachers that are just playing tohave un.

Where are the games held?Our bouts sell out quick andalways sell out! The bouts areamily riendly. The venue

holds about 1000 people at

the Shriners Auditorium onPonce de Leon in Atlanta. Youcan buy tickets online at www.atlantarollergirls.com.

Can people fnd your teamon that website as well?When you go to the website,click on Teams and then onThe Apocalypstix. On thewebsite you can nd ticket sales,inormation about the sport,team ino and even how to getinvolved!

Timber Hines currently works as theAssociate Director o the StudentActivity and Academic Center at

available, it is us to you, theconsumer, to be inormed anduse them wisely, and only whenneeded or a specic reason overa short amount o time.

Many times, people take NSAIDsor joint pain relie, particularlywith arthritis. While these drugsdo reduce pain and swelling, theydo nothing to promote tissuehealing. They may even inhibithealing, make bones more ragileand likely to break, and worsen

degenerative joint conditions.This is highly ironic, since they areused extensively in arthritisacondition NSAIDs are likely toworsen.

The risk associated with thesedrugs is signicant. One o themthat has been studied extensivelyputs about 100,000 people in thehospital and kills almost 17,000per year. One has to ask why theyare still on the market at all, giventhe injury and death rates.

Risk is worsened with these drugsi you are over 60, have a historyo alcohol use, or a history o

ulcers or gastritis. They are tobe avoided when you are takingsteroids or blood thinners.

So, what are the alternatives?First, with your headache, nda good chiropractor and seei you can get at the cause oyour headaches rather thantrying to cover the pain with adrug. Irrespective o what wecall a headache, most o themcome rom problems in theneck that can be identied andcorrected. Sometimes it is aseasy as addressing your sleepingposition, mattress, and pillow.

Arthritis, especially osteoarthritis,responds well to joint adjustmentand the sot tissue treatmentschiropractors provide.

DR. BOB HAYDENHealth

Not long ago, one o our patientscame to see me or a regular visit.She had a riend with her, Tonya,a young lady in her early twentieswith a small child. My patientasked me i I would take a look at

Tonya. She didnt look right.

I turned to help Tonya to her eet(she was sitting on the foor), andshe went unconscious, allinginto my arms. I put her on thetreatment table and raised herlegs. Her pulse was weak andthready. Her blood pressure wasabout 90/40. She was very pale,

even inside her eyelids. We called911 and stayed with her.

As she regained consciousness, Iasked her some quick questionsand ound that (1) she had severe,unrelenting headaches, or whichshe had never sought treatment,because (2) she had no insurance.So, to kill the pain, she was (3)taking up to eight BC powdersdaily.

BC powders contain aspirin,which keeps blood rom clotting.

Tonya was hemorrhaginginternally to a point near death.Additionally, she admitted loud

ringing in her ears, a sign oaspirin toxicity.

Aspirin, ibuproen, ketoproen,and naproxen are all non-steroidalanti-infammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

They are sold under a varietyo names without prescription,including Advil, Motrin, Aleve,and Orudis, and they may bemixed with anti-histamines ordecongestants, such as Advil Coldand Sinus, Dimetapp Sinus,Motrin IB Sinus and Aleve Coldand Sinus.

Because these drugs are so readily

Additionally, consideralternatives or control o yourinfammation that are sae andnatural. For example:

Studies show thatconsumption o 2 gm o Omega3 atty acids provided sucientanti-infammatory eect toreduce joint pain and the needor NSAIDs in 59% o patientswith neck and back pain.Omega-3 acids are containedin green leay vegetables,faxseed, faxseed oil, canola oil,oily sh, seaood, seaweed, andsh oils.

Boswellia aects severaldierent enzyme systems andis very eective or arthritis andmuscle pain. Look or it at yourchiropractors clinic or healthood store.

Willow bark has alsobeen shown to be eectivein reducing pain andinfammation. When you takeit, your body converts it to anaspirin-like substance that ismuch saer than aspirin itsel.

Ginger, in addition toreducing infammation, is goodor those with poor circulationor nausea.

Reduce inammatorycomponents in your diet by

increasing your intake o low-calorie, nutrient-dense oods,such as lean meat, sh, skinlesschicken, vegetables, ruit, andnuts.

If you are heavy, lose weight.Obesity is associated withchronic infammation, and italso intensies the stress onyour joints.

I hope this helps. There is muchyou can do to take control oyour situation and eel better.

DIRT MCGIRT

Television has always served asa cheap orm o entertainment;a distraction rom the worrieso real lie. In addition to theentertainment value, newsbroadcasts and channels devotedto education, science and history,have also served to provide atleast some important inormationand education to viewers. Manyo the actors and sports gureson broadcasts also provided rolemodels or people to emulate.Recently however, a new genreo television programming

has served the oppositeeect. Instead o providingentertainment and distractionsrom real lie, reality shows haveactually given people a distortedview o real lie all while makingpeople dumber and encouraginggenerally shameul behavior.

Reality shows started oinnocently enough by eitherdropping a dozen or so peopleon a tropical island to see whocould survive o dritwoodand coconut leaves the longestor by putting 10 strangers ina house lled with liquor andvideotaping their daily lives.

The next generation o realityshows upped the shock actor

by paying contestants to eatpickled raccoon placenta orlay in a pool ull o jellysh andbleach. Next came gloried talentshows with heavily medicatedpop singers and conceited British

judges critiquing singers anddancers o various talent levels.Had it stopped there, realitytelevision would have ell in linewith sitcoms, news programsand sports broadcasts as anaccepted orm o entertainment.Unortunately, that was notthe case and we now ace anepidemic o stupidity spreadingrom channel to channel.

Instead o content with showsrequiring contestants to possesssome type o skill, exhibit atleast average endurance or havethe ability to suppress their gagrefex, producers now look to thebottom rung o society to ll theircasts. These shows pit high schooldrop outs with extensive criminalrecords against each other orthe chance to date a washed upormer rock star or rapper. Thelosers are invited back to reunionshows to compete with thelosers o similar shows or prizesvalued at hundreds o dollars.

Those who exhibit the mostirrational and bipolar behavior

SATIRE: Reality TV aims highA semi-regular column devoted to addressing issues, tackling problems

and giving all-around good advice to the leaders and citizenry o thegreater Grin-Spalding County area.

THIS WEEKS COLUMN BY:

The Dinoff Schoolfor the Gifted & Talented

This past Wednesday, several of myclassmates and I volunteered toteach fourth graders about marinelife at Atkinson Elementary School.We had, previously, gone on a eldtrip to the Georgia Aquarium andwanted to share our new foundknowledge and experience withthem. By engaging them in funactivities and games, we hoped toexcite them and further encouragethem to learn. Not only did thestudents have a great time

interacting with each other, butthey learned the importance ofteamwork and patience as well.

This reminded my classmates andme of the need for a sense of pridein our community. We are allstriving individuals, but as a teamwe accomplish more. Hopefullythis will inspire the citizens who Iam surrounded by, as much as itinspires me, to want to better ourcommunity.

I you drive a car, youve beeneeling the woes at the gaspump. The price o petroleum hitover $100/barreland a gallon o gasat the pump is stillover $4. Americansare panicking andtheyre ed up withthe unpredictabilityo petrol prices.

With the 2012election campaignscoming up, politi-cians see this as theperect opportunityto start the politicalbattle o the parties.Both Republicansand Democrats have proposedmeasures that they claim willlower gas prices, but none othese proposals will work. Yet,America is still trying to controlthe price o petroleum when wesimply cannot do it.

Republicans have proposed theclassic drill, baby, drill argu-ment. They want more drilling inAmerica where there are resourc-

es. They argue this will lower gasprices, provide jobs, and allowAmerica to stop relying on im-ports rom the Middle East. TheRepublican-controlled House oRepresentatives passed a serieso bills which would acceleratenew lease sales and the processto apply or drilling permits.

While it is true that Obama puta moratorium on Gul Coastdrilling ater the BP oil spill andthat leases have been selling ata much slower pace, drilling is auseless tactic to ease the petro-leum woes. America currentlyproduces 8 million barrels o oil,but uses over 18 million. I we didstart drilling in other locations,

we would see an eect o just$0.05 less and the eect wonttake place until 2030.

Thats because the price o oil isa price in the global market. Wewould never be able to produceenough oil to even halway aectthe world market or oil. Plus,by the time we saw any eect(in 2030), we could be usingalternative orms o energy thatare sustainable and riendly toour planet. This would not onlycreate just as many jobs, but alsosave our economy money. Thataccomplishes two tasks that bothparties have been trying or 3years.

The Democrats proposal is just

as useless. They propose slash-ing the various tax breaks thatour government gives to Big Oil.Although this would save theederal government about $12billion in a decade, (anything tocut the decit, right?) it wouldntdo anything to lower the priceo oil.

The non-partisan group Congres-sional Research Service sent amemo to Senate Majority Leader

Harry Reid (D-NV). Thememo provided datashowing how eliminat-ing tax breaks would notcause the price o petro-leum to decrease.

Why? Because the priceo oil operates within theglobal market. Eliminat-ing those tax breaks isntgoing to change the priceo oil because thosesame companies exportoil worldwide. Addition-ally, oil companies havemade record-breaking

prots this year, with Exxon Mobilmaking over $50 billion. Elimi-nating the tax breaks also wontaect the global market pricebecause they can aord to paytheir share and still make tens obillions in prot.

The big issue o gas prices isntgoing away any time soon. Thepolitical rhetoric is amped toits ullest in the political arena.

The oil reality is that there isntgoing to an immediate relie. Thebest thing that politicians can do,as suggested by the think-tankBipartisan Policy Centre, is toraise the uel-eciency standardor American vehicles.

This signals to the global marketthat demand or oil is alling, thuslowering the prices. This actuallyworks better than drilling be-cause taking an initiative to drillsignals to the world market thatdemand is actually rising whichwould raise the price.

Yet, this still wont provide an im-mediate relie and Americans aregoing to have to think o other

alternative and sustainable waysto produce energy i they want tostop worrying about how muchits going to cost to ll up theirtanks. We have to understandthat we are only a ragment othe worlds population and itsconsumption o oil. Althoughwe always try, our actions cantalways change the world.
