East Cobb Teachers of the Year Honored
at Chamber’s Give our schools A Hand Ceremony
The Teacher of the Year program is designed to spotlight those dedicated to educating and changing the lives of our young peo-
ple. Each year, one talented and special person is selected to be a school’s Teacher of the Year. From that group of Cobb County
teachers, Coy Dunn, Kennesaw Mountain High School’s Teacher of the Year, was named as Cobb County’s Teacher of the Year.
Joanne Cox, Sawyer Road Elementary School, was also named as Marietta City School’s Teacher of the Year. Both Dunn and Cox are
arts educators. A pep rally honoring all Cobb and Marietta City Teachers of the Year was held at the Roswell Street Baptist Church on
Wednesday, October 5. On October 25, another pep rally kicked off the annual Give Our Schools a Hand week. This is the 23rd year
that the Cobb Chamber of Commerce has sponsored Give Our Schools a Hand (GOSH) special event. A salute to education in Cobb
County, GOSH week brought educators, students, parents, businesses and the community together to honor education. Here are the

East Cobb Girls Represent U.s.
in Malaysia for Engineering World Championship
By Molly Henson
The Hawks designed and manufactured a miniature “car”
out of balsa wood. The team presented their work to a judg-
ing panel with a verbal and written presentation supporting
their model car. The cars are timed from the moment they are
launched to when they pass the finish line by a computer. The
track is especially designed for this prestigious event. It is 20
meters (65.6 feet) in length and the average car covers this dis-
tance in just over 1 second, traveling over 60kmp (37.28 mph).
Led by Liz Fitzgerald, team advisor, and Fred Stillwell, former
ECMS STEM teacher and F1 coordinator, the team was proud to
place 18th in the World!
The girls were able to attend the competition by raising over
$18,000 through sponsorships from Porsche Cars North America,
the Women in Technology Foundation, and other private busi-
nesses and foundations.

the founder, Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi, sent him to
oversee the East Cobb location. Both children (classes
for 4-11) and adults (classes for 12 and older) can benefit
from this martial arts program that promotes physical,
mental, and spiritual well being.

breathing and stretching into traditional martial arts.
Choi Kwang Do is not intended for competition.
Master P, who holds an 8th degree Black Belt, has
been involved in martial arts since 1975 and has been an
instructor since 1982, exclusively teaching Choi Kwang
Consignment with
Do since 1988. He has trained more than 30 Choi Kwang
Do instructors who are now teaching throughout the
world. Master P cites the benefits of Choi Kwang Do as
strength, endurance, flexibility, stress relief, weight control,
self defense, improved self-esteem, improved coordina-
tion and balance, and increased energy. He goes on to
say that children with attention deficit disorders, learning
disorders, hyperactivity, and simply shy personalities have
all seen improvements in these areas in just a few lessons.
Parents of some of his students tout better behavior and
grades as a direct result of their children’s training. For
adults, Choi Kwang Do instructors teach how to maintain
flexibility, manage stress, and increase productivity.

is Your Car Road Ready
For The Trip?
Thanksgiving is the busiest travel holiday of the year. It is
the perfect time of year to make sure your car is in perfect
running condition. About a week or so prior to getting on the
road, it would be wise to bring your car in to your local auto
expert and have them thoroughly examine your car for any
problems or safety concerns.
Our ASE Certified Master Technicians will check and fill
all of your vehicle’s vital fluids including the transmission fluid,
power steering fluid, brake fluid, fuel injection, antifreeze, and
windshield washer fluid. We will also perform a battery, starter,
and alternator test, examine all of the belts and hoses, check
your brakes, completely inspect your suspension, make sure
all of your lights are working, and we will check your tire pres-
sure and evaluate your tires’ condition. We will make sure
your tires, and vehicle is road trip ready. Ensuring you have
had all these items inspected and running properly will guar-
antee peace of mind on your road trip. Another item, which
is often overlooked, is the headlight lenses. Cloudy, foggy, or
yellowed headlight lenses can cause impaired visibility mak-
ing night driving difficult. Our headlight restoration service,
value priced at $129.99, will restore beam clarity and improve
luminosity increasing night driving visibility.

for and that includes

We appreciate your

EAST COBBER
model highly popular True Religion jeans with a casual shirt
and jacket. All can be purchased at The Hub Boutique.
Following in the footsteps of her beloved grandmoth-
er’s retail store in Indiana, East Cobb resident Laura Fanoe
is opening a boutique full of upscale jeans, cute little tops,
accessories, and unique gift items. Laura gave her shop
the same name as grandma’s shop, The Hub Boutique “The
Center of Fashion”, as the ultimate nod to grandma. She
says, “My grandmother and I were best friends.” The Hub
is still a family affair, as Laura’s mother-in-law, Dorris, family
members, and her best friend are helping out.
As a Marietta native, I wanted to give local women
(and men) the accessibility to great designer clothing with-
out the hassle of time consuming commute. I want The Hub
Boutique to be your “go to” store when you are in need of
a wardrobe/attitude pick-me-up,” shares Laura.
The Hub Boutique opened for business November 3, just
in time for colder weather and the search for holiday gifts!
Men and women of all ages can find high-end jeans at The
Hub. Laura had both normal and a-bit-heavier people try
on different jeans, until she found the best brands to carry:
jeans that make everyone look great! She said, “The idea is
to have something for everybody…to [have customers] find
the perfect fit.”
At The Hub Boutique, you can shop for upscale, well-
cut jeans or lower-priced gifts. Explore not just shades of
indigo denim, but several other color options. NYDJ, the
newly re-branded Not Your Daughter Jeans, are available.
The store carries everything from the cleaner-looking Henry
& Bell to the very trendy look of True Religion.
“We are incorporating San Diego Hat Company mer-
chandise…including a really cool scarf that has a pocket,”
said Laura. Another unique item is a soy candle that makes
a warm wax you rub on your hands, as a kind of lotion. Who
knows what other cute things you might find? Check out
The Hub Boutique at Merchant’s Walk shopping center, 1311

LaVida Massage:
‘Tis the season to Treat Yourself with Affordable Luxury
The bustle of the holiday season is quickly approaching and along with all the fun
and festivities often comes an unwelcome guest – stress. East Cobbers looking to relax
and unwind have a new choice this season thanks to the recent addition of LaVida
Massage in the Parkaire Kroger shopping center.
Opened October 1 by East Cobber Terry Sharp and his business partner Duane
Goodwin, LaVida is a health and wellness center offering massage and aestheti-
cian services in an atmosphere of affordable luxury. The LaVida concept is relatively
simple – to offer clients an individually customized experience with a highly trained
professional at a reasonable price in an environment that appeals to both men and
women.
With the first step inside LaVida Massage, clients know they’re in for a unique
experience. The neutral décor calms the senses and the tranquil music and
mild aromatherapy set the stage for a relaxing visit. Every therapist is nation-
ally certified and licensed in the state of Georgia. Therapists must also com-
plete continuing education credits every two years.
LaVida’s therapists are trained in a variety of massage modalities includ-
ing Swedish, couples, deep tissue, neuromuscular, trigger point, hot stone,
prenatal, chair and corporate massage. At the initial appointment, clients
complete a health assessment to assist their therapist in determining the
appropriate combination of modalities for their particular needs including
pain management, stress relief or as a reward.
For new clients, a 60-minute massage is $39.95 and subsequent visits are $69.95.
Clients can also choose to join “The Life Benefits Program” which lowers the price
to $49.95 per month. This no-contract program entitles members to one service per
month. Additional services can be purchased at a discounted rate and unused ser-
vices are rolled over each month, ensuring a client will not lose the benefit they’ve
purchased. You can even add a family member for free, so that
they can enjoy the benefits too.
LaVida Massage is located at 4880 Lower Roswell Road, Suite
70. They are open seven days a week and appointments can be
booked by calling 770-973-6385 or book on-line at http://mari-
etta.ga.lavidamassage.com. Find them on Facebook at LaVida
Massage of Marietta (East Cobb). Gift cards are available at the
store and online and are good at any of the LaVida locations
nationwide, including five in the metro Atlanta area.
Take advantage of the LaVida Massage Holiday Specials
and give the gift of massage: purchase three $50 gift cards and
receive a certificate for a free massage. See store for additional
holiday offers.

Don’t Let Food
Spoil the Holidays
When family and friends gath-
er during the holidays, don’t
let unsafe food spoil the festiv-
ities. Bacteria is the invisible
enemy in food because you
can’t see it, taste or smell it. It
can multiply rapidly in moist,
warm conditions and cause
food-borne illness when con-
sumed. Brooke Schembri, RD,
Director of WellStar Corporate
s Brooke Shembri, RD & Community Health, recom-
mends the following tips to
ensure you have a safe holiday celebration:
• Wash hands and food contact surfaces often to
prevent the spread of bacteria from one food item
to another.
• Always keep cooked foods separate from raw items.
Store raw meat on a shelf below cooked items and
produce in the refrigerator to prevent raw juices
from contaminating other foods.
• Never thaw meats at room temperature. Thaw your
turkey in a refrigerator set below 40 degrees. Plan
ahead because a 20-pound turkey will take about
three days to completely thaw in the refrigerator.
• Make sure foods are cooked to the proper tempera-
tures (165 degrees for a whole turkey) to kill harm-
ful bacteria.
• NEVER leave perishable foods at room temperature
for more than two hours.
• Always keep hot foods hot and cold food cold. The
danger zone for bacteria growth is between 40 and
140 degrees.
• Place leftovers in small containers so they will cool
quickly and refrigerate as soon as possible. Be sure
to eat leftover turkey within 3-4 days.
• When in doubt, always throw out foods that you
suspect may have been stored unsafely.

With Peter Allen
I Never Want To Retire. . .
Yes? No? Maybe?
Some people want to work until they sail off into
the sunset. Others may continue to work because they
have to, while others can’t wait to quit and focus on
other areas of their lives. None of these choices is
wrong, but in whichever case you should plan for retire-
ment. You may love your work and what you do for-
ever, or you may realize that you have to work. Or your
finances may be adequate enough that you don’t need
to work. Regardless of your situation you should do
some degree of planning.
Planning your financial resource is a challenge, as
the process is based on many unknown variables. It
EXPO
is not the only thing you need to plan for. Transitioning
to the next stage in life doesn’t have to include a final
retirement. You should include in your planning any area
that would be pertinent to your happiness in that stage
of life. Some of the areas you would want to include in
your planning are:
• What are your Retirement Options?
• The how, what, when of the Transition Process.
• Attitude toward Retirement.
• The Reorientation Process.
• Your Mental, Physical and Spiritual Health.
• What is your leisure interest and do you need
to create more?
• How to enjoy and make this the best time
of your life.
These and many other areas can be identified and
measured. Together we discover exactly what is right for
you right now. Do you want to bypass all the costly mis-
takes you’ll make trying to figure it out alone? I’m ready
to walk you through a step by step process that can be
the beginning for you to create the Retirement Life of
Your Dreams.
The Best to You!

s Savannah Court residents enjoy a historical field trip together.
Nestled in the heart of East Cobb, Savannah Court
Senior Assisted Living Community provides assisted living
and secured memory care services to its residents. A
beautiful white-columned entrance welcomes residents
and visitors to the facility, but it’s the caring staff inside
that makes the difference.
In a home-like assisted living environment, the staff
at Savannah Court delivers personal and medical servic-
es to residents. Residents can choose from many differ-
ent living options, including studios, deluxe suites or one
bedroom apartments. Each suite offers beautiful views,
and many apartments overlook a picturesque backyard
stream and gazebo.
With a daily calendar filled with activities and
entertainment, there is too much to do at Savannah
Court for residents to be bored or inactive. Savannah
Court houses a large activity center, fireplace lounge,
library, ice cream parlor and game room. Most meals
are served restaurant style in a café atmosphere, and
there is a private dining room for special celebrations.
Women and men can get their hair done at the onsite
beauty and barber shop, and a bus transports residents
to medical appointments, shopping excursions and local
attractions.
Licensed for 89 residents, the facility also offers
respite care for those who need transitional assistance
after an illness, surgery or a hospital stay. Their Day
Service is designed for those who only want to stay dur-
ing day-time hours. The Cottage, a secured memory
care residence, is located within Savannah Court and
is a safe and caring environment for those living with
dementia, Alzheimer’s and related memory impairments.
Savannah Court is located at 866 Johnson Ferry
Road in Marietta across from Johnson Ferry Baptist
Church. For more information, contact them at

Cutting-edge
cancer treatment,
without cutting.
CyberKnife is one of the greatest advances in cancer treatment technology,
and WellStar was the first health system in Georgia to have it.
CyberKnife has revolutionized cancer care. It’s a precision radiosurgery
system that can treat tumors anywhere in the body, including those
previously considered untreatable.
It beams radiation at your tumor, expertly targeting
cancerous cells. And, CyberKnife is completely
non-invasive. There’s no surgery, so there’s no
incision or scar.
Treatment takes just one to five visits.
So you’ll be home with your family in no time at all.
To learn more, call 770-793-7550 or visit wellstar.org.
We believe
in life well-lived.
The vision of WellStar Health System is to deliver world-class healthcare. Our not-for-profit health system includes WellStar Cobb Hospital,
WellStar Douglas Hospital, WellStar Kennestone Hospital, WellStar Paulding Hospital, WellStar Windy Hill Hospital and WellStar Medical Group.
Lung Cancer Screenings are available for $199 per individual or $299 per couple.
Call 770-956-STAR (7827) for more information or to schedule your screening today.
