The Parade just gets bigger every year and is a lot of fun for the partici-pants as well as the spectators. There will be events at the Country Club, just following the Parade and other events all weekend long throughout Fairfield

Plantation.

Complete Calendar of events on

This community’s next BIG event is the 4th of July Celebration and it is definitely one of the area’s very best. The majority of the activities are scheduled for Saturday the 6th due to an effort not to conflict with other

local celebrations.

that is the best in the area, and much, much more. Check out the flyer on Page 6 within this issue, email blast from

Fairfield played host to its second Red Cross blood drive on Saturday, June 1st and it dripped with success! Over 65 eager residents showed up to donate their life saving fluids and have a little bit

of fun.

The wait was a little long for those folks that did not make appointments but everyone was very patient and the overall

mood was one of charitable joy. A few people were disqualified from donating due to travel and other various reasons but their efforts were appreciated and we hope to see them back again. A few do-nors were also tuned away at the end of the day because Fairfield residents giving nature exceeded the Red Cross's expecta-tions and they ran out of supplies. A good problem to have and one that I am as-

sured won’t happen again.

Every donor walked away with a goody bag chock full of fun promotional items provided by local businesses and money saving coupons. A few lucky do-nors won the fabulous door prizes do-

nated by our wonderful sponsors from the club, the golf course and Papa Johns, all of whom, we at the Recreation Committee would like to give a big thanks to. Many thanks also goes out to the Red Cross staff, who despite staying so busy the entire time were gentle with the needles and quick with a smile for everyone. But most of all, than you to our residents that gave a donation! We hope to see you all back in September. Watch your email for

the date TBA!

Four Steps to a Simpler Financial Life

For many Americans, financial life seems to be getting more and more complicated. Perhaps that's because more workers bear responsibility for their own retire-ment savings thanks to the proliferation of 401(k) and other plans. Or maybe it's because there's so much information and so many investment choices to sort through. Whatever the case, here are some sugges-

tions that may help to simplify your financial life.

1. Start with a Plan

A little time spent planning now can benefit you later. First, determine short-term financial goals. Do you want to purchase a home in five years? Are your kids heading off to college soon? Is buying a car a top prior-ity next year? Next, think about long-term goals, such as saving for retirement and, if your children are

young, college expenses. Estimate how much money

you'll need to meet each of these goals.

2. Build a Better Budget

Next, look at your current monthly net income and then set up a budget. Creating a budget allows you to see exactly where all your money goes and to deter-mine where you can scale back. After making cuts,

invest that money to help pursue your financial goals.

3. Invest Systematically

You can take time and guesswork out of investing with a systematic investing program. With mutual funds, for example, you can make arrangements to automatically invest a specific amount of money on a regular (e.g., monthly) basis, a strategy also known as dollar cost averaging.* In addition to making investing easier, dollar cost averaging could potentially save you money. You'll buy more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when they're high. Over time, the average cost you pay for the shares may be less

than the average price.

4. Rely on an Investment Professional

While the financial world is far more complex than it was just a few years ago, you don't have to go it alone. Think about tapping into your investment pro-fessional's expertise before making any major change in your investments. He or she can help you to evalu-ate how new tax rules and changing market condi-tions may affect your portfolio and, in turn, your finan-

Commissioner Corner

June, 2013

What do your tax dollars really pay for? Many peo-ple in Fairfield complain that they get very few services for the taxes they pay. If you look at your tax bill, the vast ma-jority of it goes to support the county schools. I want to explain the por-tion of the tax bill that is actually paid to the

county.

Fairfield is a unique property in the county be-cause it is gated and private. The access, use, and management of the property are controlled by the private owner or a group of legal owners, i.e. the Property Owners Association. Public property means anyone can have access to the property 24 hours a day. If Fairfield was public, the lakes and roads would be available to anyone at anytime. When you prevent access, you relinquish some of

your tax dollar benefits.

County taxes may be levied and collected for the following public purposes: 1) to pay the ex-penses of administration of county government; 2) to pay the principal and interest of any debt of the county; 3) for educational purposes upon property located outside of independent school systems; 4) to build and repair public buildings and bridges; 5) to pay the expenses of courts and the maintenance and support of inmates, to pay sheriffs and coro-ners, and to pay for litigation; 6) to build and main-tain a system of county roads; 7) for public health purposes in the county and for the collection and preservation of records of vital statistics; 8) to pay county police; 9) to support indigent individuals; 10) to pay county agricultural and home demonstration agents; 11) to provide for payment of old age assistance to aged individuals in need and for the payment of assis-tance to needy blind, assistance to dependent children, and other wel-fare benefits; 12) to provide for fire protection of forest lands and for the conservation of natural re-sources; 13) to provide hospitaliza-tion and medical or other care for the indigent sick people of the county; 14) to acquire, improve, and maintain airports, public parks, and public libraries; 15) to provide for workers compensation and retirement or pension funds for officers and employees; 16) to provide reasonable reserves for public improvements as may be fixed by law; 17) to pay pensions and other benefits and costs under a teacher retirement system or systems; 18) for school lunch pur-poses; 19) to provide for ambu-lance services within the county; 20) to provide for financial assis-tance to county or joint county and municipal development authorities for the purpose of developing

trade, commerce, industry, and employment oppor-tunities; 21) to provide for public health and sanita-tion including, but not limited to, water pollution control projects, sewage treatment facilities, storm and sanitary sewer facilities, and water supply fa-cilities; 22) to provide for financial assistance to county children and youth commissions providing children and youth services, including but not lim-ited to, the study of the needs, issues, and prob-lems relating to children and youth. (O.C.G.A. 48-5-

220)

The law clearly expects your tax dollars to pay for many things. You also pay for unfunded man-dates sent down by the legislature. The new taxing process with vehicles is the latest. The County has no idea what the financial impact of this legislation will be on the bottom line. When the University of Georgia decides to no longer fund the county exten-sion agent, then the county must pick that expense up. When there is a pauper’s funeral, the County pays $500 to bury them. If you are a victim of a crime, you pay for the arresting officer, the judge, the district attorney and court appointed attorney, the jail, the food and healthcare of the inmate…

need I say more!

Carroll County has been extremely fortunate because it has had in place a 1 cent sales tax, SPLOST, which is distributed to the county and sur-rounding municipalities to pay for capital projects, roads, etc. SPLOST funds pave the roads of Carroll County. They rebuilt the roads and bridges follow-ing the 2009 flood. SPLOST dollars built the judicial center, the animal shelter, the technical park, the land for all the parks and green space in Carroll County. Many counties in Georgia have no vacant land; they have developed something on every yard of grass they have. Mark Twain said, “Buy land,

they are not making it anymore.”

O.C.G.A. 32-1-8 says it is unlawful to authorize the construction or maintenance of any private road. That is why the county cannot provide road-work inside Fairfield. The County does have an agreement in place with Fairfield, allowing Fairfield to purchase all supplies needed for paving, cul-verts, etc., at County prices. The County can pur-chase these materials at a lower cost than anyone else. According to the law, the County cannot pro-vide the labor associated with repairs or paving of

the roads and bridges inside Fairfield.

You as a taxpayer may not need many of the services your tax dollar is used for. You may not use the convenience centers, but you pay for them. Hopefully, you will not need the use of the District Attorney or the court system, but you pay for them. Everyone pays tax based on the property you own. There may be some of you not paying tax on your boats. Boats are taxable property but do not re-quire licensure when on private ponds or lakes. Therefore, the tax commissioner may not know about your unlicensed boat in Fairfield. Just say-

ing….

I would bet that most of you like having the lakes, beach, and pools to yourselves. The only sharing you have to do is when you invite others in. Everyone dies and everyone pays taxes. You know as well as I do not everyone pays the same amount of taxes. Just like the recent news report about how everyone on the same plane paid a different

price for their seat. Life is just not fair!

See you in July!

working that long. It has gone a little wonky, but nothing you can’t work around if you are used to the car. As my brother said, the car is personalized be-cause at this point I am the only one who knows all of its funny little ways. The clock doesn’t keep good time, but then neither do I. Sometimes the power locks won’t unlock to release you from the car- just check your texts, touch up you lip gloss and try the door again. Sometimes the radio goes off on mid song – enjoy a moment of silence and ponder life. Sometimes, okay most of the time, the blinkers don’t work – I seldom leave the compound and there is lax enforcement on driving regulations in

the ‘hood.

On a recent trip into the city I was pulled over by Atlanta PD for failure to use blinker. I explained to the officer that my blinkers no longer work and prayed that the car would co-operate. (The thing about wonky blinkers is that occasionally they DO work). The officer let me go with a verbal warning

and instructions to use hand signals.

When I left the Fish Market on Pharr Road and headed to Brookhaven I either missed a turn, or took a wrong turn because before I knew it I was

lost. Lost in Atlanta, in mid-day traffic.

Common sense tells you to plug in the GPS, but again the wonky electrical system. My GPS was dead and needed the power from the lighter plug to operate, and that plug wasn’t in service at the time. Of course we all have smart phones, but I had put mine in the trunk with my bag in an effort to restrain myself from answering emails while on the road. Besides- I thought I could get back on track on my

own.

Mode of Trans-

portation

A car is simply transportation to me. I know there are people who love to drive the latest model, or the fastest sports car, or the trendy convertible – but I have never been bitten by

that bug. A good thing really, considering our

budget.

I have been driving my particular mode of trans-portation for over a decade now. Unfortunately, Oldsmobile didn’t plan on the electrical system

not for everyone but there are a lot of substitutions I use that can help anyone feel better and maintain a healthy

weight.

Cauliflower in place of potatoes or flour:

Steamed cauliflower mashes up easily to transform

into a tasty bowl of low carb mashed ‘potatoes’.

Roasted cauliflower ground to a fine consistency can

be turned it into a flourless pizza crust.

Avocado instead of mayo:

These delicious, green treats give you richness on a sandwich but replace the bad fat with good and add

healthy antioxidants.

Spaghetti squash replaces pasta:

Roasted spaghetti squash, scraped out with a fork, looks and eats like your average spaghetti noodle. Top it with tomato sauce and ground turkey to make spaghetti , a cheese sauce to make faux mac and cheese, or add to

a homemade chicken noodle soup.

Almond or Coconut flour/mill:

Anytime I’m wanting a sweet treat I replace standard

flour with almond or coconut flour.

Sugar:

I get sweetness from a lot of sources- fruit, raw

honey, maple syrup, agave nectar and stevia.

These are just a few easily substituted ingredients that make for a healthier diet and save lots of calories while still enjoying some familiar foods. Just remember making small changes can make big differences in your waistline and overall health. All that being said, there are many times when I am out of my cozy cooking nook that I cannot live by these eating methods. You just have to go with the flow, one meal isn’t going to make or break any-thing. Life is way too short to stress about food and I

love it way too much to ever add any guilt to enjoying it.

A Girl Has to Eat Dining out, cooking

in, and everything

delish in between

Being in the midst of summer (aka- dreaded swimsuit season) so many of us are trying to eat healthier and make smart food choices. I write a lot about in-dulgent meals and recipes but I don’t eat like that every meal,

day or week even. Those are meals that only come around occasionally and most likely why I enjoy them that

much more.

On a day to day basis I adhere to the Paleo eating philosophy which basically means I eat like a cavewoman. Meals consist of meat, fruit, veggies, and nuts- no wheat,

no dairy, no sugar, no legumes, and above all no proc-essed anything. I’m sure many of you aren’t surprised I love the type of diet that allows for ba-con. I fully realize this eating style is

Anyone can see that 500 Gigabytes is more than 100 Gigabytes. We also know that 1 Terabyte is larger

than 1 Gigabyte and that is larger than 1 megabyte, right? Nah. Most of us have no earthly idea what any of this means. These are all abstract and absurd terms and names to be sure. We can easily visualize an inch, or a

yard, or even a mile, but how do we visualize 1 Gigabyte?

1 Terabyte? Or even 1 Petabyte?

Our technology has progressed at a fair rate in the last decade or so, and with so much memory space avail-able, it’s hard to really appreciate how much data capac-ity we have. Keep reading to find out just how big a Giga-

byte, a Terabyte, and a Petabyte are.

Byte-sized chunks

To understand what these numbers mean we should start small, well, relatively small that is… In this case we’ll start with the lowly old “byte”. In simplest terms, 1 byte is the amount of data needed to store 1 character, (letter/number). The average word is 6 characters long, so the average word would equal 6 bytes. So, for a 500-word

essay, you would have around 3,000 bytes of data.

1 kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes. You may recognize the “kilo” prefix from similar terms like “kilometer” and “kilogram” or “killerwatts – a famous boxer, who has nothing to do with this, which mean “a thousand” of this or “a thousand” of that. However, and you knew this was coming. Because of the way computers are designed, the number 1,024 is the new 1,000. This is a subject for

another sleepless, rainy, night…

Let’s see. A 500-word essay is 3,000 bytes or, in computerworld, 2.92 KB. A 200,000 word novel would require 1,172 KB, or 1.14 megabytes (MB). The complete works of Shakespeare takes up approximately 5MB of space in plain text format. Oh, and by the way, 5 MB is also the average amount of space required for a 5-

minute MP3 file.

A Gigabyte (GB), then, is 1,024 MB: equivalent to 10 yards of books standing side by side, 200 MP3 songs running at 5 around minutes each, and a mere seven minutes of streaming HD TV. By now most of us are famil-

iar with the term Gigabyte. So what comes next?

The Terabyte

Terabytes: who ever thought anyone outside the military or scientific community would ever use this term in relationship to personal data storage? For a long, long time, hard drives were measured in Megabytes, (MB), 20, 40, 80, and 120 MB were the norm. In 1980, for exam-ple, a 5MB drive cost $1500. It was only in 2004 that we saw a 2Gb Hard Drive hit the market, and in 2007 the first 1 Terabyte Seagate drives: these drives, of course,

fill up just as easily…

It’s amazing that until around six years ago most laptops came with an 80GB hard drive installed as stan-dard. My current desktop computer, by no means mod-ern, and the one I am typing this on, has two 500GB hard drives installed and was considered by Dell to be a “Gaming” computer. In the past few years, hardware development has progressed in leaps and bounds and we now have hard drives of 1- and 2-Terabytes (TB), and

more. So just how big an improvement is this?

Well, 1 TB = 1,024 GB = 1,048,576 MB = 1,073,741,824 KB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. In other words, a 1TB hard drive has the capacity to hold a trillion bytes. That’s a far step up from floppy disks that only held thousands of bytes, and far beyond the understand-ing of any normal human being, even me, and it’ll make

your head explode.

All who remember CD-ROMs put your hands up! Waaay, waaaay, back before mp3 players, iPods and “smart” phones, and music was actually sold and pur-chased on plastic laser-etched circles that would spin J No kidding! I know this was not that long ago really. These discs were large enough to hold 700 MB. How

does that compare to the 1TB hard drives of today?

A 1 TB hard drive will gobble up approximately 1,500 of these shiny little CD-ROMs. Let’s put this into some kind of perspective let’s say the dimensions of a CD case are 142 mm x 125 mm x 8 mm, that’s 5.59” x 4.92” x .31”, (yep, I measured). If you were so inclined to stack 1,500 CD cases on top of one another – and keep it from toppling over – it would reach a height of 13.12 yards, or around 39 feet. It’s easy to see why people switched to saving data on hard drives. You can enjoy all of that memory space within a little shiny whirring box. Pretty impressive I

reckon.

The

Petabyte

Next one up the data food chain is the Petabyte. A Petabyte is really only 1024 Tera-bytes, or 1 million Gigabytes. Not a lot if you say it quickly… A Petabyte is actually a lot of data. No matter how it is described it is huge. There’s not even a good way to visualize just how much storage this is. But here goes anyway: Imagine you’re a civil servant, and visualize 20 million four drawer filing cabinets full of text. Yeah, that’s a lot of stuff. A 1 Petabyte hard drive could hold around 500 million pages of standard printed text, or one

Microsoft user agreement…

The Petabyte (PB) is slowly but surely becoming a norm in regular conversation. The human brain, but not mine, supposedly has the ability to store around 2.5 PB of memories. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), for exam-ple, generates a whopping 15 Petabytes of data every year. AT&T somehow manages to transfer approximately 20 Petabytes of data through its network each and every

day.

Talking about data capacities in this range is like talking to a non-astrophysicist about stars. Our eyes glaze over and we struggle to visualize just how grand of a scale we’re talking about. If 1TB is a trillion bytes, then 1PB is a quadrillion bytes; there’s a nice round number if ever I saw one. In scientific notation, that’s 1015! As I write this, I’m struggling to remember where I left my

potato chips.

The Galaxy we live in, our Milky Way, is home to ap-proximately 2 hundred billion stars. If we consider each individual star to be a single byte, then we would

need 5,000 Milky Way Galaxies to reach 1PB of data.

We have a never ending desire for more data stor-age capacity. Quadrillions of bytes are passing through our network cables right under our noses every second of every day. This is only going to grow. Why, only 10 years ago, a single CD would hold maybe 20 MP3 songs; today,

we can load up our HDDs with thousands upon thousands

of songs easily.

It actually goes on, and on. The next step is the Ex-abyte, or 1000 Petabytes. There is not much to compare an Exabyte to: it has been said that 5 Exabytes would be equal to all of the words ever spoken by mankind, or two

politicians.

After that the Zettabyte which is approximately 1000

Exabytes is all that and more, much, much more.

Yottabyte: It would take approximately 11 trillion years to download a Yottabyte file from the Internet using high-power broadband. You can compare it to the World Wide Web, as the entire Internet almost takes up about a

Yottabyte.

Brontobyte: The only thing there is to say about a

Brontobyte is that it is a 1 followed by 27 zeroes!

Geopbyte is about 1000 Brontobytes. You knew that, right? I’m not sure why this term was even created. I doubt that anyone alive today will ever see a Geopbyte hard drive. One way of looking at a Geopbyte is 15267 6504600 2283229 4012496 7031205 376 bytes.

Whoa!

Technology has advanced in great ways and data

storage is, of course, no exception.

I bet you’re thinking, “What do I need to know all this for?” That’s a fair question. Storage space really depends on what you do with your computer. If you use it primarily for internet searches/browsing, and email, you will be able to make do with the drive that came in your system: usu-

ally a 320GB, a 500GB or a 1TB drive.

If you’re into photography, music, and movies, well,

the sky’s the limit. 2TB drives are the norm nowadays.

External drives are great for backup. But that’s a

whole other problem to be discussed at another time…

Our Yard of the Moth Selection this month had to go to the Recreation Committee and all of the volunteers for their efforts in renovating the play-

ground area.

Recreation Clean Up Day was held on May 20th – We are happy to report we finally had our clean up day prior to opening day despite Mother Nature and

all the rain! The day started with fog however that didn’t stop over 25 resi-dents from coming out to help. Commu-nity vol-unteers included but were not lim-ited to members from Kiwanis Club, Plantation Women’s Club, Tennis, Greens, Beautification and Recreation committees plus past and present board

members. With the effort of these volunteers and the staff of maintenance and greens crews we were able to clean up in and around the play-ground and miniature golf course as well as install mulch and sod at the Recreation Center. Thanks to Bill Bozeman and the maintenance

crew who made repairs to the miniature golf course and assisted with hauling 90 cubic yards of mulch in and around the playground equipment while vol-unteers raked the mulch into designated areas. Thanks to Kiwanis member, Chuck Detscher, Land Management of Carrollton who donated his time and bobcat to grade for our new green space.

Thanks to Jay Walton and the greens crew who assisted with the installation of the sod along with the volunteers in the new green space area. We now have four new picnic tables thanks to the mainte-nance crew and the Plantation Women’s Club. The committee would like to thank our resident volunteers and staff for such a successful event. All your hard work and effort prior to and during our annual clean up day is greatly appreciated. We could not have done it without the sup-port and generosity of our community and staff! We invite you to come enjoy a

day at the park!

The Plantation Women’s Club

The Plantation Women’s Club met on June

1st and would like to thank Bunnie Cook and Easter

Rookard with Inside Ministries, Inc. for sharing with

us about how they have been serving female in-

mates and their families. They have one of the ar-

eas only transitional houses called Clemmie’s

House that serve up to six ladies at a time. Inside

Ministries offer a wide range of programs designed

to coordinate outreach to current and former fe-

male inmates, encouraging them to restore their

lives and reunite families. They are dedicated to

helping women achieve emotional healing and

growth, physical health, basic education, restorative

independent living skills, social and vocational pur-

suit. Their vision: We are committed to improving

the quality of life for female inmates through our

faith-based programs, regardless of race or creed.

Our currently active programs provide women with

the structure and leadership needed to reduce jail

recidivism and improve public safety through ad-

dressing the educational, employment, healthcare,

housing, and family relationship needs of females

re-entering society by providing support and connec-

tion to needed services in the community after they

have been released. They have partnered with Mid-

way’s Lifeline Mission and are proud to report that

they have a full house at Clemmie’s with one client

residing in her own apartment as she works in their

after-care program. With their operating expenses

on the rise they are in great need of donations to

help support their ministry. Anyone willing to help

out can get more information at

www.insideministriesga.org or you can mail your

support to P.O. Box 2191 Carrollton, GA 30112.

We are proud to announce that our 5K Run

was a huge success with around 150 participants,

many of which asking when is the next one. We

were thankful for the Marina opening to welcome

runners as they finished and are excited to say that

this was a great money making fund raiser. As with

many new things we had a few kinks that we are

prepared to fix before the next run and greatly ap-

preciate all who came out to support and run this

great 5K.

Date to remember:

August 17th- Casino Night at the Club 7-10pm with

dinner @ 6pm

There will be

NO meeting in July!

The next Plantation

Women’s Club meet-

ing will be held on

August 3rd, at

11:00am at the Coun-

try Club. The service

for the month will be

school supplies for

Sand Hill Elementary

and/or items for our

raffle baskets. This

month we will have

resident and fellow

Plantation Women’s

Club member Habiba

Shaw speak to us on

nutrition.

We are proud to announce that we have reached our membership goal of 100 members. Ladies are encouraged to bring a friend and to all new residents this is a great group for meeting your new neighbors. New mem-bers are always wel-come and the fee is only $15 for the year. The Plantation Women’s Club meet-

ings are held the first Saturday of the month at the Fairfield Plantation Country Club. Social time is from 11:00-11:30am, with lunch and a business meeting following. For more information call Pat Johnson, President (770- 363-7654) or contact her via e-mail. We ask that you reserve your lunch for the meeting by e-mailing Pat Johnson at [email protected] or giving her a call. Hope to see you

there!

The Eliminate Project

As many of you are

aware, Kiwanis Interna-

tional (KI) and UNICEF have joined forces to elimi-

nate the deadly disease Maternal/Neonatal Teta-

nus (MNT) from 40 undeveloped countries in the

world. Sixty thousand babies and mothers die each

year from this curable malady. The infants who con-

tract this disease experience unbelievable convul-

sions which cause their bones to break. In addition,

they develop a hypersensitivity to light and sound

and can not withstand the human touch. If there is

any saving grace in this tragedy, it is that the babies

usually succumb within seven days.

During the General Assembly at our fall train-

ing a video was played that showed the pain these

infants suffer. Observing this made me think about

my own children and their healthy start in life. Need-

less to say, it was emotionally draining.

We can make a contribution to this project by

setting up our own fund raising campaign. Who will

step up and assume the lead for our club? KI has

vowed to remove this disease from the face of the

earth and prevent 129,000,000 future mothers and

babies from being affected by MNT.

Recently I heard an Irish proverb, “Nodding

your head does not row the boat.” Let’s not just nod

our heads. Let’s really get involved in this very wor-

thy cause.

“If you won’t be better tomorrow than you are

today, than what do you need tomorrow for?”

Overcoming adversity with the Garden Club...a won-

derful time was had by all!

Our long awaited trip to Madison got off to a rocky start when the club officers arrived to find the bus was a little warm. Actually it got a LOT warmer quickly when it was discovered the air conditioning didn't work! Nevertheless 50 eager travelers boarded the bus and we set off. Ice cold mimosas helped a little. Then it began to sprinkle, which did-n't help those sitting under the two open overhead

vents. Soon the word spread that we would stop and change to another bus. Everyone cheered. So after getting lost and turning around a few times, the driver pulled into the designated meeting park-ing lot- and there was no bus waiting! By now the sun was out again. Everyone disembarked and some held up umbrellas against the sun. A few min-utes later the new bus pulled up, and it was nice

and cool inside.

We set out again and soon arrived at the Holy Spirit Monastery in Conyers, GA. They are famous

for their bonsai trees and well tended gar-dens. We got to see a fascinating visual tour of the history of the monastery. It was built by hand in the early 1900s by a group of monks who had a vow of silence. They slept in a barn and made all of their own clothes. This history was wonderfully preserved as a walk

through museum. The stained glass everywhere was just beautiful. They also had a great gift shop

which was well utilized by our group

It was just a short hop to the Southern Cross Dude ranch in Madison. After an amazing display of driving through a long winding entrance we ar-rived at the restaurant in the heart of the ranch. The view of rolling meadows and fat, shining horses strolling by was amazing. So was the buffet. Broiled brussel sprouts, baked chicken, delicious roast beef, candied sweet potatoes and more more more! The desserts were passed around til no one could take any more. We rolled (literally) back onto the bus and left for Madison. There, we had an hour and a half to explore the town and frequent the charming shops. A few people set off to see the

antebellum homes as well.

In deference to the Fabulous Fairfield Fourth the club traditionally doesn't plan any activities for July. We'll be back in August with a slate of new officers and a new fun filled calendar. More details to fol-

low.

weeks & the researchers measured; self-feeling

fatigue, depression & vigor; maximal oxygen uptake;

and body composition.

By study end ALL the women had increased

their fat-free mass(built muscle), strength, and car-

diovascular fitness. ALL had reduced their fat mass

(lost fat!) However, re-

searchers found Group 2

(2+2 group) were a little

less fatigued than group

3 in the area of how

much time was spent

exercising.

BOTTOM LINE; the

most successful group in

over all fitness weight

trained 2 days per week

& did 40 minutes of car-

OPTIMAL EXERCISE PLAN FOR MATURE WOMEN

BY Wilhelmina Barry, IFTA certified Personal trainer

& Nutritionist

There are many different exercise protocols out

there for various groups of people, so when it

comes to ‘mature women’, is there a best plan?

New research from the University of Alabama at

Birmingham suggests there is.

Researchers wanted to understand & compare

the impact of three different training frequencies on

mature women. So, they recruited women aged 60-

74, and organized them into three different groups;

GROUP 1; did 1 day per week of cardio training and

1 day per week of strength training.

GROUP 2; 2 days of each.

GROUP 3; 3 days of each.

The cardio training consisted of 40 minutes of

exercise at 80% maximum heart rate. The strength

training was made up of 2 sets of 10 reps for 10

exercises at 80% maximum output (that means they

LOOKING FOR BICYCLE BUDDIES I’m a senior but serious road bicyclist

looking for other roadies who are ready to join me on some longer

rides.. I have lived in Fairfield Planta-tion for less than a year so I’m eager

to find new back roads and paved trails to ride.

Last year I completed 4 Centuries so I’m looking forward to getting back

into century shape. I understand that the Silver Comet

Trail is an outstanding bike trail so if you’re also motivated to do some

longer rides (50-75miles) join me as I explore Carroll Counties best bike

rides and from what I hear the Silver Comet Trail is a good place to start. Best number to reach me is my cell (530) 318-4861 Or email me, Harry

Gordon at [email protected] hope to hear from some motivated

roadies…..
