RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL LAND
FROM THE DESK OF
MAYOR MATHEWS
The Monday Farmers Market has
been a big success,
despite encountering
some afternoon rain
showers in May.
This year’s market
features many new
vendors along with
returning vendors
from last year. The
expanded market
moved from Adams
Park to Depot Park
and is open every
week from 3-7 pm, rain or shine. Right next
to Depot Park in the bus turnaround area, the
weekly food truck rallies are scheduled from
6-9 pm, so market visitors can shop, then eat!
Be prepared to walk a bit from public parking
at City Hall or Adams Park as the parking area
at the Depot fills up very quickly. The public
lot on Moon Station Road just off Main Street
is probably the best place to park; it’s a short
walk to Depot Park from there.
In development news, the Revival on
Main project is steadily progressing and
targets its first residential units to be available
late summer/early fall with the remainder to
be completed by December. In the commercial
space, two restaurants are negotiating lease
agreements and other restaurants are in
discussions. The Dallas/Main mixed use
project is also moving forward. The renovation
of the former bank building which will house
the Whistle Stop restaurant is underway;
construction should be completed in August.
The core of the project is anticipated to start
site work in the August timeframe with vertical
construction late 2015/early 2016.

CHAIRMAN’S CORNER
By Chairman Tim Lee,
Cobb County The first half of 2015 has brought numerous
exciting announcements regarding SunTrust
Park and its mixed-use
development. Delta
Airlines announced
it will continue its
partnership with the
Atlanta Braves as the
exclusive sponsor
of Delta SKY360
Club, a new premium
hospitality area in
SunTrust Park.
In March, Comcast
shared its plans to
occupy a nine-story
office tower bringing 850 new jobs to Cobb
and creating the most technologically advanced
ballpark in the world.
Last month, Omni Hotels announced it will
build a four-star, full-service hotel as a cornerstone
of the mixed-use community.
As the Braves are working to achieve their
goal,“Team Cobb” has been diligently working
to ensure that on Opening Day 2017, residents,
commuters and visitors can safely and conveniently
access to Sun Trust Park and its amenities.
Cobb County has always been proactive with
transportation improvements and several projects
were in process before the Braves announced
their move here. More than $1 billion dollars of
transportation improvements currently underway
will positively impact game day travel.
The county is equally committed to pedestrian
safety in this major activity center. I am proud of
the County’s ongoing efforts to construct a multiuse bridge connecting the Cobb Galleria Centre
and the mixed use community.
A study is also underway exploring the best
options for implementing a Cumberland District
Circulator with the goal of providing a new
transportation option for Cumberland residents,
workers, shoppers and visitors. Other than any
minimal required local match, Cobb taxpayers will
not bear the burden of the cost of this project.
Our intention from day one has been to achieve
100% funding through multiple sources and that
remains my focus. As the studies are completed and
designs finalized, several funding sources outside
of local taxpayer dollars will be identified. As on
all transportation projects, Cobb will pursue all
funding opportunities and partnerships.
Since the Board of Commissioners voted
in November 2013 to bring the Braves to Cobb,
the county has already experienced significant
economic benefit.
•Property taxes collected for the site have
more than doubled from $250,000 in 2014 to
$512,000 in 2015.
•Ongoing construction has resulted in $200
million in contracts awarded to Cobb County
companies.

Managed Lanes access
ramps at Big Shanty
Road.
This $17.3 million
project has been highly
collaborative, with the TCACID, Cobb County DOT, Georgia DOT and KSU each making
significant investments. Once completed, the Connector will provide a 19% reduction in
daily traffic along Chastain Road at the I-75 interchange and improve access and congestion
relief from KSU to I-75. The Skip Spann Connector is multi-modal and includes a separated bike and pedestrian
path in addition to the vehicular lanes. This pedestrian and bicycle access will provide a direct
connection from Kennesaw State University to the Town Center Park (which is currently
being developed by the TCACID) as well as the Town Center Mall and economic activity
center, bringing two of the key areas of our CID together like never before.
Tracy Rathbone, Executive Director for the Town Center Area CID states, “The Skip
Spann Connector is vitally important to our district because it provides another east to west

David Grant, President of the Kennesaw Optimist Club has created a new project in
conjunction with the Optimist International Childhood Cancer Program. A committee has
been formed to work with the community to serve children cancer patients and volunteer at
Children’s Health Care of Atlanta, Scottish Rite.
Recently the committee toured the

Optimists can be of assistance. What an
incredible facility. We received the Cadillac

EYECARE
“Let food be thy medicine, and let thy
medicine be food.” Hippocrates, father of
medicine, 431 B.C.
The healing properties of food have been
reported by cultures worldwide throughout
history. However, the past decade has
presented an explosion of clinical research
to show specifically what health benefits
individual foods can offer, identifying various
nutrients and phytochemicals associated with
these benefits. The food choices we make
have powerful influences on the health of our
eyes. The eyes are the windows to the body.
Adding certain nutrients to your diet every
day - either through foods or supplements can help save your vision. Researchers have
linked eye-friendly nutrients such as lutein/
zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc
to reducing the risk of certain eye diseases,
including macular degeneration.

Essential Oils,
not just for
aromatherapy mary hahn, TRILOGY MASSAGE
The discovery of essential oils is on the
rise. More and more people are finding out
just how helpful different oils can be in their
everyday lives.
Below are a few examples of how oils
are being used in everyday life:
Bergamot - Used in Earl Gray tea, calming
effect during emotional stress, used during
women’s monthly cycles.
Golden Rod - Supports circulation, cardiac
function, and improvement of libido.
Lavender - Most versatile oil, used for
cleansing skin, sooth minor skin irritations, and
very calming.
Myrtle - Not as available as some oils,
supports a healthy respiratory system, and thyroid
function.
Peppermint - Good for digestion issues, ease
tension, used for easing migraines.
Rosemary -- Used to improve mental
concentration.
Tangerine - source of d-limonene, a powerful
antioxidant, can be uplifting to a mood.
The purer the oil, the more effective it
will be. It is important to know the source
of your oils and how they are produced. Oils
cold pressed, from fresh plants, and made from
the first pressing are the the most powerful. Often times oils that are very inexpensive are
made from materials that have fallen to the
ground, not fresh, and have additives. Our oils, sold at Trilogy Massage, are of
the highest quality available in the United States. Currently I have a list of single oils and blends
at trilogymassage.com. All the oils I offer are
ingestible and do not have any additives or water
to the base. I use only pharmaceutical almond oil
for the base of my blends.
I recommend that anyone trying essential
oils seek advise from the physician concerning
their medications or conditions. All statements
have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug
Administration and are not intended to diagnose,
treat, cure or prevent any disease.
With all that said, enjoy your oils. If you have
any questions or want more information please
contact me and have a blessed day at mary@
trilogymassage.com or call 404-273-0674..

Relax –
You Deserve It
DR CRIS EATON-WELSH
It’s important that you take time for
yourself to maintain your health!We know
how exciting, yet exhausting life can be.Jampacked with family activities, sporting and
social events, holidays and more, we often
forget to set aside time for ourselves. Some
would argue that stress is our biggest health
concern, given that it has been linked to
so many other complications, from heart
problems to dementia.
Relaxing protects your heart: Intense,
sudden periods of stress or shock, like a
breakup or even winning the lottery, can
trigger such a rush of adrenaline that the heart
can’t function properly, resulting in heart
failure or heart attack-like symptoms.
Relaxing lowers your risk of catching a
cold: Chronic stress lasting more than a month
but less than six months doubled a person’s
risk of catching a cold.
Relaxing boosts your memory: A number
of studies have found that stress increases the
amount of certain proteins in the brain that
have been linked to Alzheimer’s.
Relaxing lowers your stroke risk: A 2011
study found that among middle- and upper-class
men, psychological stress caused about 10 percent
of strokes.
Relaxing keeps you safe from depression: The
prolonged presence of stress hormone cortisol can
reduce levels of serotonin and dopamine, which
are linked to depression.
Relaxing helps you make better decisions:
A 2012 study found that stress seems to actually
change how we weigh risks and rewards, and
can cloud our judgment when we are faced with
important decisions.
Relaxing keeps you slim: Cortisol increases
appetite, and may even specifically encourage
junk food cravings.
Relaxing eases acne: A 1998 study found

CATARACTS AFFECT

DR MARK HESTER, HESTER EYE
ASSOCIATES
Cataracts are the leading cause of
blindness in people 55 and older, but did
you know they could also contribute to an
increased risk for cognitive decline and
dementia?
In a study of 625 elderly patients
conducted by the University of Michigan,
those withpoor vision who did not receive
proper eye care were 9 times more at risk of
developingAlzheimer’s disease and 5 times
more at risk for some form of cognitive
impairment. In contrast, those participants
with good vision had a 63% reduced risk of
developing dementia.Sharp vision and a sharp
mind seem to go hand-in-hand.

In addition, cataracts cause symptoms of
blurry or cloudy vision, light sensitivity, halos
around lights, and colors may appear faded or
drab. If detected early, cataracts can be more easily
managed and treated. There are many treatment
options now available including glasses, contact
lenses, and intraocular lens implants. Technology
now exists to correct vision after cataract surgery
with lens implants that can correct near and far
vision…multifocal implants and implants to correct
astigmatism.

Citizen’s Police Academy
On Tuesday, May 19th at 6:00pm, the Acworth Police Department hosted a graduation
ceremony for the Citizen’s Police Academy (CPA). Forty members of the community
have completed the 12 week program which offers an inside look at the law enforcement
profession. This program has been a huge success in building lasting relationships between
the Officers and the citizens they serve. Over the past 15 years, more than 600 citizens have
participated in the CPA. This year’s class included small business owners, local pastors, and
retirees among others.
Citizens are instructed on a variety of topics, including search and seizure, traffic law,
judgmental shooting, criminal investigations, K-9 demonstrations, domestic violence, drug
investigations, etc. The class also had the opportunity to shoot various firearms at the range
after first completing a firearms safety course. Graduates will also have an opportunity to
ride with officers during a shift.
Believe in
yourself, be
honest
and be bold!
S h a n C o o p e r, v i c e
president and general manager
of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics
Company shared this message
with teen girls during the
3rd Annual Girls to Women
Leadership Symposium. The
event hosted by Destiny’s
Daughters of Promise was
held at the Mansour Center and
attracted nearly 200 participants, to include Claire Bartlett, Field Director to Congressman
Loudermilk, Carla Jackson, Cobb County Tax Commissioner, Chief Wayne Dennard of the
Acworth Police Department and other community leaders.
The one-day event gave prominent women a platform to share the insights they have
learned along the way with girls in a small group setting. The women and teens participated
in sessions on self-defense, branding and social media, healthy relationships and more. Shan
encouraged the girls to pursue their dreams during a question and answer session.
Program organizers also recognized Karima Kallon, a student graduating from North
Cobb High School Magnet Program for her successful completion of Destiny’s Daughters
of Promise’ Leadership Program. Kallon will attend Johns Hopkins University in the fall.
Pictured is Karima Kallon being congratulated by Shan Cooper.

Elder Abuse:
The Crime of the 21st
Century
The statistics
cannot be ignored. In
the United States, the
most recent Census
shows our 65 and older
population growing
faster than the total U.S.
Population. By the year
2030, an estimated 84
million people will be
in this category and will
represent 20 percent of the total population.
Beginning in 2012, Baby Boomers began
turning 65 at a rate of 10,000 per day -- a trend
that will continue for 20 years. Concomitant
with this growth, elder abuse is spiraling.
In January 2013, just weeks after being
initially sworn in, I established an Elder Abuse
Unit in my office to handle all prosecution of such
crimes and to work with the Cobb County Sheriff’s
Office, local Police Departments, Adult Protective
Services, the YWCA of Northwest Georgia, and the
Georgia Department of Human Services.
Elder Abuse can take many forms: neglect,
sexual abuse, physical abuse, and financial
exploitation. Today, I will address one area of
Elder Abuse: Financial Exploitation.
Studies indicate seniors lose about $2.9 billion
a year to fraud and scams. On average, individual
victims of elder abuse lose $90,000. In Georgia,
it is illegal to knowingly and willfully exploit a
disabled adult, elder person, or resident of a longterm care facility. “Exploit” means to illegally
or improperly use an elder’s resources through
undue influence, coercion, harassment, duress,
deception, false representation, or false pretense.
As prosecutors, we have seen Elder Financial Abuse
take many forms, such as forging an elderly person’s
signature; gaining an elder’s trust, then exploiting
the relationship for gifts or loans; coercing someone
to change legal documents; stealing possessions;
or telemarketing scams.
Such abuse also has an emotional impact. The
victim may be ashamed, lose confidence, or become
fearful or depressed. Many times, victims are too
embarrassed to tell anyone what has happened.
If you or someone you know has been the victim
of Elder Abuse, please contact your local law
enforcement agency immediately.

activities of the Cobb District Attorney’s Office at

by Bill Westenberger
At the end of last month, Special Olympics
Georgia hosted the state-wide summer games
at Emory University.
As always, it was an
exciting weekend for
all involved.
The
2015
Summer Games was
initiated earlier in
the week with law
enforcement officers
around the state
participating in the
Law Enforcement
Torch Run (LETR).
LETR is the largest
grassroots fundraiser for Special Olympics.
The run culminated with the law enforcement
officers relaying the “Flame of Hope” finally
lighting the cauldron officially opening the
summer games.
Kennesaw Police is a proud sponsor of
the LETR for Special Olympics GA. Annually,
we participate in several fundraising events
to raise money to include the Polar Plunge
(February), the Super Hero 5k (March) and
selling donuts (this year coming up June 6-7) to
name a few. Our participation always provides
us with the most humbling experiences.
We hope that you take the opportunity to
participate or support us as we help provide
opportunities for children and adults with
mental disabilities. We can all apply the
Special Olympics Oath to ourselves and our
lives – “Let me win. If I cannot win, let me
be brave in the attempt.”

Patricia Hill Color Studio
Housed in a Victorian
House in Fuller’s Chase at 2950
Cherokee St., Kennesaw, is the
Patricia Hill Color Studio. Inside
is a gorgeous, modern hair salon
where they pride themselves on
studying and mastering all of the
newest hair coloring, cutting,
and styling techniques. They use
amazing products from Davines,
and share their sustainable beauty
vision.
Patricia Hill was inspired to
begin her journey in hairdressing
by her mother-in law, Hanh Hill.
Hanh came to the U.S. as a Viet
Nam immigrant for the love of a local soldier, Ben Hill, who she met during the war. She is
living the American dream, as the owner of Kennesaw Hair Salon. Hanh inspired Patricia
to leave her Mortuary Science background to pursue hairdressing. While working for her,
Patricia also took on a part time education position with MATRIX, traveling the southeast
teaching hair coloring, cutting and styling. This enhanced Patricia’s knowledge of the chemistry
behind haircolor, as she worked hard and earned a color master certification.
Two years ago Patricia decided to branch out and begin her own small studio with
an amazing new Artist, Sri Metaeo. Together they built a thriving following, that they are
humbled to have. On March 31st this year, Patricia opened Patrica Hill Color Studio, a full
sized salon, in historic downtown Kennesaw, with Sri as the Manager.
They are so excited to share their new environment that fuses a modernized historic space
with the art of hair. The salon is an incredibly relaxing space which heightens your salon
experience. For more information or to book an appointment visit Patriciahillcolorstudio.

Jazz in July at Marietta Square
Marietta Square Art Walk salutes the weekend of Independence Day with America’s
music. Art galleries, museums, boutiques and restaurants host jazz musicians and local artists
from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Friday, July 3. Visitors enjoy the in-town culture and small
town charm this Southern city center is known for, while strolling the brick sidewalks of
Marietta Square.
Starting Friday evening, Marietta Square comes alive with activity for the Fourth of July
holiday weekend. While Church Street closes to traffic to set up Saturday’s arts and crafts
festival, photographers aim their lenses at a unique alley photo shoot off of Church Street,
adjacent to Lenny’s Hair Salon.
On West Park Square, dk Gallery presents ‘Farm to Table,’ a landscape and still life show. On
South Park Square, Red Door Art Gallery & Studio will have their mid-year studio clearance sale, and
Marietta Square Artist’s Attic will provide entertainment with their regular jazz ensemble.
At the heart of Art Walk are the visual artists selling their artwork on the sidewalks of Marietta
Square. From April through June, these artists competed for two sought-after awards, ‘Best of Show’
and ‘People’s Choice.’ Awards resume in August and culminate in the Encore Show in November,
where ‘Best of Show’ winners from each month will be given the opportunity to display their art at
one of four local gallery sponsors: dk Gallery, Marietta Square Artist’s Attic, 2 Rules Fine Art and Red
Door Art Gallery & Studio.
Proceeds from the Art Walk’s Beer Garden support cash prizes for ‘Best of Show’ winners. Although
the Beer Garden won’t be set up for ‘Jazz in July,’ it returns in August with musical entertainment by
Jennings Music, Marietta Social Club and the Emerson Drummers.
Free parking will be plentiful in the parking deck on Cherokee Street, across from the Earl Smith
Strand Theatre, as well as the other two parking decks located off of Waddell Street and Lawrence
Street.

NCHS VOLLEYBALL
STATE CHAMPS
North Cobb accomplished what no one
thought possible and relished in the first
championship for the school since 1983. In a
five set thriller, the North Cobb Lady Warriors
volleyball team captured their first state title
after defeating the North Gwinnett Lady
Bulldogs on Saturday, November 1, 2014. The
Lady Warriors last loss came on October 11
against Harrison in the area tournament before
playoffs began. From the area championship
until the state championships was definitely a
Cinderella story. The Lady Warriors were as
low as they could be after getting dominated
by Harrison and the team had their fair share
of doubts. North Cobb’s aggressive service
game proved pivotal in knocking off the Lady
Bulldogs. The Lady Warriors tallied 14 aces
with only two serving errors in the entire
match and won by a significant margin 15-9
to capture the state title for their school. Way
to go, Warriors! Pictured

“What happened to the bang??”
You are at the range, throwing some lead and during your volley, trigger is pulled……
nothing happens or five seconds later, “BANG. What happened? You probably just experienced
a misfire, hang fire or a squib.
Misfire – Pulling the trigger, nothing happens; related to ammo or gun.
Hang Fire - Pulling the trigger, nothing happens initially, then, BANG; most likely a
delayed primer.
Squib Load or Squib Round – Pulling the trigger, which produces a less than normal
bang or slight pop; most likely related to insufficient or no powder load in the cartridge.
Projectile may be stuck in the barrel.
You may not know which of the three, so, it’s important to remember a few things:
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction down range. Wait 30-45 seconds, to rule
out a Hang Fire. Release the magazine, lock slide back and check to see what was extracted
from the chamber, a whole cartridge or a casing only?
Results: complete cartridge, inspect primer for impact dimple, which means a bad
cartridge; chamber another cartridge or try different ammunition; if no impact dimple, could
be firing pin. This would need gunsmith support.
Empty casing, inspect the barrel for blockage. I carry two very important pieces of
equipment in my range bag, a mini flash light and a bore light. The bore light has a fiber
optic end, which slides into the barrel. If the light shines through to the chamber, all be
clear, if not, you may have a projectile stuck in the barrel. If so, my recommendation is to
see on-site gunsmith to assist you, avoiding further damage to the barrel.
That’s it for now. As always, if you have questions, feedback, or interested in taking a
class, please contact me at [email protected]. The next NRA Basic Pistol
Shooting Class will be end of June time frame. Safety is your number one responsibility,
for a fun time shooting!! Remember: ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction”;
“ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot”; “ALWAYS keep
the gun unloaded until ready to use”.

Life is a non-denominational church. Their
congregation consists of people from various

seeking Biblical truth
Mission For Life Church was born
on August 8, 2009, with a mission to help
transform and renew the minds and lives
of people through a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ. The vision of leadership
was to provide a place where people of
all backgrounds, cultures and nationalities
would come together and experience spiritual
healing, and discipleship through the loving
power of Jesus Christ. This in turn would foster
fully devoted followers of our Lord.
Since starting, they have seen people
renewing their relationship with Jesus, as well
as many who had left the church altogether,
return and recommit their lives. Every week
we have the joy of seeing God move in mighty
and miraculous ways.
Mission for Life Community Church
currently meets at Pitner Elementary School
on Wade Green Rd. For more information

PERFECT HARMONY
Rev. Sam Storey, Columnist
The new geographic “center“ of Christianity has shifted slightly. Want to guess where
the global geographic center of Christianity is now located? No, it’s not Vatican City or
some football stadium sized sanctuary in Texas; it’s not in South Korea, South Africa, or
Southern Jerusalem. The new global center-point for Christianity,
the new center of gravity for the Christian religion, is . . . Timbuktu.
That’s right, Timbuktu in Mali. Can anyone locate Timbuktu on the
map? Timbuktu is the ultimate, classic definition of “the middle
of nowhere.” What better place to locate the heart of Christianity? Where
is the hope and love of Christ needed more . . . than in the midst of
all our “nowheres?” The good news is that from its central point
of Timbuktu, Christianity is the largest and fastest growing world
religion. There are now over two billion Christians scattered across
the globe. But “scattered” is the operative word to describe these
Christian communities. They are scattered geographically across
the planet. And the cultural diversity among these different populations is huge. There are about 34,000 different “denominations” recognized within twenty-first century
“Christianities.” But some other faith-counters put the number much higher, putting Jesus’
flock into as many as 122,000 different tribes. There are two dangers in this fracturing of the faith. First, if we call everything
“Christianity,” then eventually nothing is Christianity. Not every spiritual sputtering can be
declared a new incarnational expression of Christ-centered faith. The second danger is the hazard that every baby chicken faces. If one chick in a flock looks
or behaves as somehow “different” than the rest of the baby chicks, its days are numbered.
Eventually somebody will peck at it, pulling out some feathers, maybe causing a red sore
spot to emerge, making it look even more different. Now all the other flock members will
start pecking at the offending chick. Pecking, plucking, and persecution will continue until
the chick is killed. Individuality is not tolerated in a flock of chickens. When Jesus described himself as the “good shepherd,” he promised to care for his “flock”
completely, even to the point of laying down his life for the sake of his “sheep.” Being in relationship
with the good shepherd, not being some right size, shape, or color, make the good shepherd and his
flock One. As the “Good Shepherd,” Jesus cautioned those all ready gathered that there were “other sheep
that do not belong to this fold.” These “other sheep” would also be joined into the one flock of the one
shepherd (John 10:1-21). Jesus’ flock is composed of the coming together of a host of different people. Jesus’ “flock”, is
going to have members that definitely look different, act different, and are different. These particularities
are what make Jesus’ “flock” strong, adaptable, enabled to grow and flourish in all sorts of different
environments. The kind of unity that joins us into one “flock” is the “perfect harmony” of the Spirit
of Christ. In Colossians 3:14, Paul says to “Put on love which binds everything together in
perfect harmony.” I’ve often wondered if that is where the ad-writers for the 1971 Coca-cola
commercial got the inspiration for their hit song: “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect
harmony . .” It’s known as one of the best commercials in television history. True “religion” leads to “harmony,” to concord, not to combat and contention. (Rev. Sam A.
Storey, Sr. is Senior Associate Minister, Emeritus, First United Methodist Church of Marietta, Georgia.
