have built at least one prop each year, and plan to have a scale model of Stonehenge make its de-but during The Field of Screams 5th

year anniversary.

The Witches Cauldron or Skull Fountain is probably the one prop that Phil is most proud of. He and Ken built it about 5 years ago and it took a lot of trial and error to get it to where it is now. Finding the right skull, that was large enough to both accommodate a good visual aes-thetic and sturdy enough to with-stand the elements, all while being pliable enough to hollow out for the pump tubing was a real challenge. They also wanted to have it spew blood originally, but quickly discov-ered that it would be too difficult to eerily light while being able to see the blood at night. So they bought a shop light, added black light bulbs, and added some highlighter ink to the water to give it that awesome

green ooze glow.

Compiled from info from Billy

Priest and Phil O’Brien.

Halloween photos continued on

page 6 and 7.

You don’t get in the way of Fairfield during its Halloween festivities. That’s one thing that’s taken seriously around here. And, there is a long history of Hal-loween celebrations in Fairfield Planta-

tion.

The Halloween season gets started with the Halloween Carnival, the Chili Cookoff and the Pie Baking contest. And, this year, was the “Non-Halloween Party.” The Women’s Club has sponsored the Halloween Carnival for about the last 20 or so years. When Tammy Priest started organizing it around 18 years ago, the event would draw about 25 to 50 chil-dren. It has since grown to well over 200

children attending each year.

The organizers of this event have tried to add games each year for the chil-dren and also to make sure that there was plenty of candy and toys for everyone attending each year with and expected increase of attendees. It has gotten bet-ter over the last few years getting volun-teers to help. In the early years, getting enough volunteers was the biggest strug-gle. There were times that there were not enough volunteers to help with each game and setup and takedown was a nightmare.

Getting volunteers has dramatically

improved over the last few years. What is very nice to see is that some of the chil-

dren that originally came 18 years ago, now pitch in to help with the Halloween Carnival now. This has been a tremen-dous help and very rewarding for the organizers to see.

The Fire Department has played a

significant role for many years in setup and help during the carnival but recently started doing a Chili Cookoff and Pie Bake contest/event. This help is very much appreciated and needed since the event has grown to be so large.

Phil O’Brien organized, setup the

field, and painted the majority of the zombies that you might have seen if you went through The Field of Screams. He has been leading this frightening produc-tion since 2010. Phil states that he has always loved everything Halloween and had a large display in his yard the first year that he moved to Fairfield Planta-tion. That year, he had one trick-or-treater. Disheartened, but still firmly be-lieving in the holiday, Phil became in-volved with the Recreation Committee and the Field of Screams in 2010, when it was held by the beach. That was the second year of the Field of Screams. When he started, maintenance built the cemetery gate, the jack-in-the-box, and one of the coffins.

and hopefully improve upon what he started. So, no, I am not going to even attempt to fill his shoes. I will acknowledge his accomplishment

and do my best to continue to improve his legacy.

I was lucky that I was taking over in a very fun part of the year, and I wanted to emphasize that fun in this issue. No one does Halloween better than Fairfield and this past month was a blast. I hope that you enjoy remembering the

time that you had through this issue.

In future issues, I will tell the good of this community because there is so much good here. But, I will also address what is bad, or what needs improving. The goal is not to tear down, but to build this community. If I explore an issue, I will give both sides and let you decide which is the right way. You are smart people; all you need

are the facts and not unnecessary emotions.

Let me know what you want to see in this paper and how I can improve it. I really want to know how to make this instrument serve you, the

community.

The title says it all. There is no way that I can fill the shoes of Billy Priest. When I started think-ing about all the obstacles that Billy had to go through just getting this paper started, from the logistics of who and how the printing would be handled, the startup costs, finding those all im-portant advertisers, and just overcoming all those people who either said he couldn’t do it or just didn’t want him to do it. Billy did overcome all of those impediments and has been running strong

for two years.

I’ve been working multiple days putting this issue together, and just that in itself is a major undertaking. How he was able to start this paper and, virtually single-handedly, keep it going is beyond me. Yes, there is no way I can fill those shoes. I couldn’t have started this paper. That takes a real visionary and pioneer, whose not

afraid to blaze the trail.

As I was thinking about taking over this pa-per, I looked hard at my strengths. Although I couldn’t have started it, I am good at building upon established foundations. Billy has blazed the trail, and now I can come behind and widen,

At the end of each month, see how your ac-

tual spending stacks up against your budget

and how much income is left over. When

looking for places to cut additional costs,

start with luxury expenses, followed by other

committed expenses.

Budgeting will initially require some extra

work and organization. But a little extra effort

now can go a long way toward helping you

pursue your financial goals.

Budget Your Way to Extra Sav-

ings

Investing a few hours to create and maintain a

household budget may be the key to identifying

opportunities to save more for the future, including

for long-term goals such as retirement. Yet it's sur-

prising how few households take the time to com-

mit to a budget. Many financial experts recommend

making time for this task, which could pay divi-

dends down the road.

Get a Grip on Your Money

Finding the extra money to save is not always easy.

The good news is that many families realize they

spend money on nonessentials -- such as eating

out and specialty coffees. These are expenses that

can often be reduced with the aid of a budget. A

budget may also help you reduce large expenses to

make room for savings. For example, if your trans-

portation costs are considerable because of a long

commute to work, look into carpooling with a col-

league or working at home periodically.

Budget Basics

The first step is to understand and summarize

your various sources of income, which may include

earnings from a job, alimony, real estate income,

and income or dividends from investments. Next,

determine how you spend your money. Start by

tracking your spending for a month. Gather bills

and receipts and don't forget things like an occa-

sional splurge on new shoes or a cup of coffee.

You may want to group expenses into the following

categories:

• Fixed committed expenses, such as mortgage,

loan, and insurance payments that are the same

from month to month.

• Other committed expenses, which are things

you can't live without, such as food and clothing.

• Luxury expenses, which are things you like but

don't necessarily need.

You can tally your income and expenses in writing

if you prefer. Or consider trying one of the many

online budgeting programs to help get you started.

November, 2013

Election Day was yes-terday in Carroll County with a whop-ping 10% turnout. SPLOST passed and there was a fruit bas-ket turnover in some of the municipal elec-

tions.

Villa Rica has three new city council peo-

ple. Leslie McPherson defeated incumbent Rusty Dean, Mike Williamson won the seat va-cated by Patrick Henrickson, and Danny Carter defeated incumbent Woody Holland. Business will not be “as usual” at the council meetings.

Look out Mayor! The times they are a changing!

The commissioner’s are having a retreat next weekend. Items to be discussed include SPLOST, the judicial system, and many other items. The previous chairman spent all the SPLOST dollars himself. The new SPLOST does not start until 2015. I feel we should not spend any of the money until 2015, when we earn it. I heard from many citizens they would like to be

more involved in what SPLOST is spent on. I think that is a very good idea. The way the laws are written, you have to leave the categories broad or you can get stuck being unable to use the money. We ALL need to plan how that

money can be utilized to better Carroll County.

Carroll County is welcoming new businesses to Villa Rica and Carrollton, It will take a while for the jobs to become available, but within the next three years, the job market in our area will in-crease dramatically. There are a couple of other business possibilities for our area. The commis-sioner’s have been involved because the compa-nies have asked for tax abatement; just one of the perks new companies asks for. There is stiff competition amongst states to attract compa-nies to their area. I am told there are some states we cannot compete with. They offer such good incentives; we would have to pay the com-panies to come to our area. The requirement with tax abatement is that the company must meet their anticipated number of jobs and pro-jected revenue. If they fail to meet these expec-

tations, then they must repay the tax.

One of the items listed on the SPLOST request was a new Administrative Building for the County. The Board of Commissioners, Chairman and Clerk, have moved to the old historic court

house. It is beautiful and frees up space at the building on College Street for the tag office and tax assessors. The College Street building is an old school. Finance and Human Resources have also moved to the old courthouse. Our meetings are now held in the beautiful courtroom. But, it

is not practical for long term operation.

There is no easy way to get into the building. The parking deck is across the street. There are steps and elevators that make it difficult to ac-cess. It is difficult to hear in the huge court-room. The acoustics are terrible. The staff con-tinues to work on the situation to make the sound the best it can be. Using the old court-house has proven that it should not be the home

of the commission long term.

I will keep you informed as we learn more about the needs of Carroll County and how SPLOST

can help with them.

The Certificate of Recognition, United States Congress, Congressional Gold Medal awarded to Angus H. Jamerson, reads as… “In recognition of service during the period of 1942-1949, in promoting peace and stability for the United States of America during World War ll, the people of this nation are forever grateful. In an unanimous and bipartisan vote by the members of the One Hundred and Twelfth Congress of the United States, the Congressional Gold Medal has been awarded for his pioneering spirit as one of the very first African-American marine recruits to enlist and attend boot camp training at Camp Montford Point, North Carolina during World War II. His dedicated contribution has paved the way for outstanding perseverance and courage on and off the battlefield that in-spired social change in the United States Ma-rine Corps. Therefore, be it resolved that this

certificate identifies the recipient as having earned the title from this day forth as an Original Montford Point Marine. His devotion to duty re-flected great credit upon himself and was in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service. Con-firmed this Twenty-seventh day of June, Two

Thousand and Twelve.”

A letter from Marc Lattanzio to Fairfield Residents

To my friends and neighbors,

I would like to take this time to express my deepest appreciation to those

who stood behind me and supported me during the recent BOD election.

My tenure on the Board is one filled with many memories, a lot of learning

combined with many long and exhaustive days and nights. While my vision

did not fully come to fruition, I can say several mile stones were indeed

accomplished. Assessments actually went down in 2011. We began the

process of improving our aging infrastructure and negotiated several con-

tracts resulting in significant savings just to name a few.

I would also like to congratulate the newest members of the board. I wish

them well as they embark on a new journey, may wisdom be with them as

they make tough decisions regarding our community we all call home.

I am humbled knowing that so many of you believed in me and without

hesitation would do it again wherever my future endeavors take me.

Sincerely,

Marc Lattanzio

It took 8 people from the Fairfield

Fire Department 16 hours to paint

140 fire hydrants. These volunteers

do this necessary maintenance in

addition to their training and re-

sponse to Fairfield emergencies.

thinking.

The second time dressing I put on jeans, boots, and one of those new zip-back sweaters. I felt much more like myself and was definitely more comfortable. When I looked it the mirror I really liked the new sweater. I wore that outfit to fix my hair and let the dogs out, but decided it was too comfortable and casual for the visit. While great for trivia night or dinner with friends, I felt the outfit didn’t portray the proper amount of care for my Mister. I left that outfit on the

bathroom floor.

The third time dressing I went with a denim pencil skirt, silk blouse and ballet flats. At this point Mister said he would wait for me in the car so I knew I better hustle before he honked the horn. As long as I make it to the car before he honks the horn he isn’t upset with my daw-

dling.

When we arrived at the doctor’s office I chose a center seat so I could indulge in a little

people watching. It didn’t take me long to decide that I had over-thought my outfit. There was a man to my left who looked as if he came from a camping trip. As I was checking him out on the sly Mister bumped my elbow for attention and gave me a grin. I looked about to see what he had noticed when I saw a grown woman in what looked like pajamas. It wasn’t that she was too ill to attend to her appearance because she had on

her full face makeup.

There were lots of people in the waiting room dressed as Mister and I were, but there were also lots of people dressed in their house clothes…and maybe not even their best house clothes. Either the first group was over dressed or the second group was underdressed, and that got me to thinking. Maybe there should be guide-

lines on proper attire for the doctor’s office.

After all, I hate to not be properly attired.

Christina Henggeler

I know I may be a little more concerned with my wardrobe than some, and from the looks of some peo-ple they should give a bit more attention to their at-tire when leaving the

house.

We had a health scare at our house over the last few weeks, so I was going to the doctor’s office with Mister. I had never done so before; we have always taken our appointments as our own responsibility and simply reported the results to one another over the evening cocktail. The result of having never gone with him was that I wasn’t sure what one normally wore as a concerned spouse. I first put on business clothes, but looking in the mirror I felt I looked more like a bossy social worker and less like a loving wife – I threw that outfit on the bathroom chair and returned to the closet to continue

take the family out and let someone else cook

for us. We enjoy all of the local breakfast eater-

ies- Trading Post, Chat & Choo, Goldtown Diner,

and Jerry’s- who has the best biscuits around.

While all of those places are really good

Baxter’s, newer place in Carrollton where Sunny-

side Café used to be, reigns supreme when it

comes to a breakfast plate. It is called Tarred

and Feathered and it is one of the most glutton-

tastic dishes ever. It is fluffy biscuits topped with

fried chicken and cheese eggs and smothered in

white gravy. It is so ridiculous I’ve dreamed

about.

While breakfast is good brunch is the next

level of awesomeness. Plates on the Carrollton

square puts on a great brunch with dishes like

eggs benedict, Denver omelet, and pulled pork

but the magic happens in their sides. The sweet

potato casserole is to die for and the Charleston

grits are out of this world.

The other great brunch place is The South-

ern Table in Villa Rica. They pride themselves on

local, seasonal ingredients so the sausage is

made in house to go along with your waffles.

The pimento cheeseburger is definitely a dish

that is worth having, more than once. Until next

time, I hope you get a chance to eat lots of good

breakfast whether it be savory or sweet just take

the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the eats

and the company.

Dining out, cooking in,

and everything delish in

between

In our house a hot, big

breakfast is a meal that

is greatly appreciated.

So frequently we are in

a rush in the mornings so we grab something

quick or we skip right through it and go right to

lunch.

My youngest eating machine told me once

that it was mandatory that I make big breakfast

at least once a week or things would get ugly. I

make a variety of things like biscuits and gravy,

eggs benedict, French toast, quiche, or tradi-

tional eggs and bacon. Sometimes I get lazy and

Walls - they hold up ceilings, they keep us from the elements and give us a place to use as a blank canvas. How often do you look at your walls and wonder what to do with them? Are they the color you like, or just a color you live with? It’s your

home…you have the choice to make it a thing of

beauty.

I come from a very creative family. My par-ents had a comfortable home and made the walls a place of wonder with things that had meaning to them. I learned a long time ago to

decorate with things that have meaning to me.

As an artist I believe a home should be a reflection of the occupant. Not everyone who enters will love the contents of the space. Our homes should be bits and pieces of whatever makes us happy. I may not want an ornate statue greeting my guests at the front door, but the carved cigar store Indian I have standing there sure makes me feel welcome and has a great

story attached.

Our treasures – whether paintings, tapes-tries or any collection are what should adorns our walls. Why travel halfway around the world and buy a beautiful carving and put it in a closet to be forgotten? Live with what makes you happy. You don’t need to follow trends, you don’t even need to match everything. It’s your place – love it with your things. What do your walls say about

you?

Right or wrong, the state of Georgia has de-clared the coyote a nuisance, and that label along brings serious consequences for the ani-mal. Coyote sightings within the neighborhood prompted concerns about pets and even chil-dren, so Fairfield Plantation hired Chip Elliott of Atlanta Wildlife Re-locators to trap and remove as many coyotes as possible. As of this writing, he has captured four and usually captures around eight within Fairfield. Elliott began a two week period of trapping that be-

gan on October 22, 2013.

Elliott spent a couple of days discovering the coyote’s travel corridor by looking for tracks and feces. Then he put out his traps and visited each of them daily as required by Georgia law. Coyotes range roughly 6 miles per evening and they were found in the traps in cycles of every three to four

days.

Coyotes are cunning, cautious animals that quickly learn and adapt. They are difficult to trap which is one reason why the coy-ote has flourished throughout the United States. According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, “With the extirpation of the red wolf in the last century across Georgia, the coyote (Canis latrans) has been able to fill a once occupied void and now can be found state-

wide.” [georgiawildlife.com/node/1391]

One myth about coyotes is that they hunt in packs like wolves. They do live in packs, but pre-fer to hunt along or in pairs. Coyotes can hunt in larger groups, but that is not the norm; nor do they hunt in the coordinated attacks of wolves to

kill much larger prey.

The eastern variety of coyote is slightly larger than its western relative, with males weighing approximately 45 pounds and females weighing an average of 30 pounds. They are opportunistic hunters, but mainly feed on rabbits, rodents, ungulates (usually fawns) carrion (aka road-kill), birds, amphibians, and insects such as grass-hoppers. They also have a vegetative taste, of-ten eating watermelons and berries and they are fond of human garbage. But their taste for cats and small dogs is what makes them a problem

for Fairfield.

The fear of coyotes attacking children is there as well, but this is less likely as long as that child is being watched by an adult. The Hu-mane Society states that there have only been two recorded incidences of humans being killed

by coyotes. One was a child in Southern California in 1980 and the other was a young woman in Nova Scotia in 2009. As far as attacks on humans, one study found a total of 159 human attacks between 1985 and 2006 throughout the United States and Canada. So, attacks are rare, but as society encroaches into the wooded areas where the coyote lives, the attacks have increased. [http://www.urbancoyoteresearch.com/

Coyote_Attacks.htm]

Although the likelihood of coyote attack is small, it will increase sim-ply because of the suburban pres-sure of humans pushing into wooded lands where wild animals live. And because of multiple coyote sightings within Fairfield Plantation, it is prudent to take away the food lures that lead the coyote to Fair-field and to quickly re-instill the fear of humans. For removing the food attraction, the Humane Society, as well as multiple other sources, rec-

ommends the following:

•Avoid feeding pets outside. If you must, feed them only for a set time

during the day (for no more than one hour) and remove the food bowl as soon as your pet has

finished her meal.

•In dry conditions, water can be as alluring as food, so remove water bowls set outside for

pets and make watering cans unavailable.

•If you compost, use enclosed bins and never compost meat or fish scraps.

•Good housekeeping, such as regularly rak-ing areas around bird feeders, can also help dis-

courage coyote activity near residences.

•Remove fallen fruit from the ground. •Keep trash in high-quality containers with

tight-fitting lids. Only place the cans curbside the morning of collection. If you leave them out over-night, they are more likely to be tipped and bro-ken into. [http://www.humanesociety.org/assets/

pdfs/wild_neighbors/preventing_coyote_conflicts.pdf ]

They, and the other sources, also recom-

mend not allowing cats and small dogs to roam free. To the coyote, our pets are just mobile munchies. This last part is almost too elementary to mention, but deliberately feeding coyotes is

wrong.

Maintaining fear of humans is where we start seeing differences of opinion in the litera-ture. Some state that to maintain the ultimate fear of humans is through trapping and hunting. Others, primarily the Humane Society, state that the best way is by eliminating the source of food and by a process called hazing. Interestingly, the trapping/hunting side of this argument also agrees with the hazing concept. Simply put, when one encounters a coyote, be “mean” with it. Make yourself larger by raising your arms and yelling at it. Make all kinds of noise, but above all do not run from it. Running means prey, and that

could possibly cause the coyote to chase you.

But what puts the most fear of humans in coyotes is trapping and hunting. Since we cannot hunt within Fairfield Plantation, trapping is the only means to obtain this. And that brings us back to Mr. Elliott’s efforts as well as the state of Georgia’s labeling of the coyote as a nuisance. That label means that there are no season limits to hunting or trapping coyotes. And, it also means that any trapped coyotes cannot be relo-cated or released in another area. Although the foot traps are “humane” in that they do not cause lethal harm to the coyote or other animal caught in the trap, the coyote’s life is ended as surely as it is caught within the trap. [http://www.georgiawildlife.com/print/130 ]; [http://

georgiawildlife.com/print/1698 ]

Coyotes caught by Mr. Elliott, by Georgia law, cannot be relocated into the wild. There are only two options for the coyote at this point; to be euthanized or to be sold to fox pens to be used as a replacement fox in fox hunting. This is a sad ending for the individual coyote, but it will ultimately save countless other coyotes and, because of the fear instilled, may eliminate a possible human or pet attack in the future.

By

Dr. Habiba N. Shaw

For years, scientists have observed that an apple-shaped figure or a big beer belly is a health risk. But now they have gained more insight into why this is so. They have discovered that people with wide girths are more likely to have large amounts of deep-hidden belly fat around their organs. It might be the most dangerous kind of fat and could increase a person's risk of developing high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, demen-tia, breast cancer and colon cancer. This fat, which is called visceral or intra-abdominal fat, is linked to high cholesterol, high insulin, high triglycerides, high blood pressure and other problems. Researchers are investigating whether visceral fat secretes more inflammatory molecules that are linked to diseases than other types of fat.

Measuring Up:

The simplest way to check for abdominal fat is to measure your waist. Run a tape measure around your torso at about the level of your navel. At greatest risk of developing health problems from too much hidden belly fat are men

whose waists are greater than 40 inches and women whose waists are greater than 35 inches. If your waist meas-urement is that high, "you've fallen off the edge of the cliff," says George Blackburn, associate director of the divi-

sion of nutrition at Harvard Medical School.

Although people who are overweight or obese are more likely to have large amounts of visceral fat, normal-weight people also can have too much. This kind of fat usually develops in between organs and causes the formation of

what we call: the belly fat. Considering the risk that visceral fat poses to ones body, it is considered far more dan-gerous than the subcutaneous fat type, which merely causes the inflation of the body without really causing internal

problems.

Older people need to be particularly vigilant about their waist measurement. A recent study found that some men and women 70 to 80 years old with normal body weight still had an increased risk of type 2 diabetes if they had large amounts of visceral fat. Scientists also don't know exactly why the visceral fat seems to take such a toll on health, and they are investigating it vigorously. One explanation called the portal theory suggests that this fat secretes fatty acids near the liver, possibly causing some of the health problems that lead to diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. This theory is being questioned now, scientists say, and "there are far more new and exciting hypotheses currently being investi-gated." However, what is absolutely clear is that this is a relatively little depot of fat that conveys a very big health risk. Overall, visceral fat is a small amount of the total body fat. In a slightly overweight middle-aged man, about 15% to 20% of his fat is visceral fat, and about 10% to 15% of a pre-menopausal woman's body fat may be the intra-abdominal kind. The two fats (subcutaneous and visceral) act differently in the body, experts say. "If you put visceral fat in a petri dish and you put subcutaneous fat in a petri dish and stimulate them, the visceral fat will produce a lot more inflammatory molecules that can raise a person's risk of heart disease and diabetes," says Tim Church, medical director of the Cooper Institute in Dallas, Texas. People with Large Waists need to Reduce them Immediately: So what can we do about tubby tummies? A lot, it turns out. Losing weight and increasing exercise appear to be keys to decreasing this fat. The starting point for bringing weight under control, in general, and combating abdomi-nal fat, in particular, is regular moderate-intensity physical activity — at least 30 minutes per day (and perhaps up to 60 minutes per day) to control weight. A study at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle found that overweight postmenopausal women who exer-cised regularly for a year lost 3.4% to 6.9% of their intra-abdominal fat, depending on how active they were. They were told not to change their diet. Exercisers lost about 3 pounds. In a study comparing sedentary adults with those exercising at different intensities, researchers at Duke University Medical Center found that the non-exercisers experienced a nearly 9% gain in visceral fat after six months. Sub-jects who exercised the equivalent of walking or jogging 12 miles per week put on no visceral fat, and those who exercised the equivalent of jogging 20 miles per week lost both visceral and subcutaneous fat. Strength training (exercising with weights) may also help fight abdominal fat. A University of Pennsylvania study followed overweight or obese women, ages 24–44, for two years. Compared to participants who received only advice about exercise, those given an hour of weight training twice a week reduced their proportion of body fat by nearly 4% — and were more successful in keeping off visceral fat. Spot exercising, such as doing sit-ups, can tighten abdominal muscles, but it won’t get at visceral fat.

Diet is also important. Pay attention to portion size, and emphasize complex carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) and lean protein over simple carbohydrates such as white bread, refined-grain pasta, and sugary drinks. Replacing saturated fats and trans fats with polyunsaturated fats can also help. But drastically cutting calo-ries is not a good diet strategy, because it can force the body into starvation mode, slowing metabolism and paradoxically causing it to store fat more efficiently later on. For now, experts stress that lifestyle, especially exercise, is the very best way to fight visceral fat. Sources: SPECIAL HEALTH REPORTS FROM HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL AND WEB MD.

eat all day. A balanced eating regimen thru out

the holidays looks like this; You had a high fat

meal last night, so follow it with low-fat meal the

next day. Or high fat week, follow it with a low-fat

week. And, when you work hard all year at

healthy eating, it is ok to enjoy the occasional

treats. Just don’t let it turn into a month of pig-

ging out & telling yourself; ‘I will go on a diet in

Jan.” You all ready know that formula does not

work!

EXERCISE; Stop

the guilt by ac-

knowledging that

you cannot do

everything! If you

cannot fit in that

structured exer-

cise program, replace it with more playful activi-

ties; a family football game; family walk after

Thanksgiving with the dog; brisk walk around the

Mall, etc. A little activity is better than none!

STRESS; What stressors keep coming up every

year? Set your priorities with whom you really

want to spend time with during the holidays.

Maybe order gifts online instead of spending

hours at the mall. Do you really need to bake for

everyone at the office or would they enjoy a fruit

basket just as much?

I hope this helps you handle life’s little interrup-

tions!

And a great way to work out your stress is to join

our Fairfield Exercise Class;

Class days are; Tuesday, 10:30am Low Impact

Cardio-Sculpt , Thursday, 9:00am Low Impact-

Cardio-Core & Friday, 9:00am Body Sculpt. All

classes are held at the Rec Center. For more

SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS !!

You are not alone. Most peo-

ple find themselves facing more

food choices, stress & demands

on their time in the months of

Nov. & Dec. By maintaining a

flexible attitude, you can breeze

through these 2 months with

your health & sanity intact.

First, take some time to re-

flect on what the Holidays mean

to you before you get swept up in

the activities. Once you deter-

mine what you truly need and

want from the Holidays, it is

much easier to let go of the need to recreate the

perfect, unattainable ‘Norman Rockwell’ holiday.

Then you are freed up to focus on activities that

exemplify the true meaning of the holidays.

That being said, here are some suggestions to

avoid the average 7 lb weight gain from Hallow-

een to New Year’s;

FOOD; Strive for balance! Continue with your

normal, healthy eating plan. Don’t starve your-

self all day because you have a party at night &

you are trying to ‘save’ your calories. That is set-

ting yourself up for failure because you will justify

eating whatever you want because you did not

Girl Scouts

The local Fairfield Girl Scout troop has officially survived our first

overnight camping trip. The girls enjoyed time by the lake, a pump-

kin patch, s’mores and stories by the fire and priceless bonding

time with one another and nature. I am so proud to say that the

girls were extremely well behaved and took the fun and responsi-

bilities of camping seriously. Over the weekend it was easy to see

that the girls enjoyed themselves but on closer reflection it makes

me smile to know that trips like these create lifelong memories. If

you are interested in joining us- Our troop ranges from 2nd to 8th

grade and we meet at the Rec Center from 5pm-6:30pm, every 2nd

and 4th Tuesday. If you have
