My experience, as a Cobb County prosecutor with the District Attorney’s and
Solicitor General’s Offices has provided me with the...
EXPERIENCE, UNDERSTANDING and COMPASSION
to bring to the bench in the State Court.
It also showed me the need to address the
“AT RISK” kids in Cobb County by founding an
organization (S.M.A.R.T. Counseling, L.L.C -
Substance Misuse and Responsiblity Training)
to address the issues of ALCOHOL and
DRUG ABUSE in young people ages 17 to 21.
I have been very fortunate in my law career and
have been sworn in to practice law in courts, at
many levels, including the STATE OF GEORGIA
SUPREME COURT and the SUPREME COURT
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

PuBLiSHER’S NOTE
Fifteen years ago, on Saturday,
November 18, 1995, East Cobb
residents celebrated the first annual
EAST COBBER Parade & Festival. This
was an historic event for East Cobb
residents: a community-wide parade that
shut down Johnson Ferry Road on both
sides! That first parade had 52 groups
and 1,000 people marching from Johnson
Ferry Baptist church northward along
Johnson Ferry to Merchants Walk shopping
center. This year’s EAST COBBER Parade
will showcase 110 groups (and counting,
still!) and 2,000 participants. The first annual EAST COBBER Festival
featured 40 vendors. Compare that number to the 80+ vendors that will be

attacks, President Bush encouraged us to “not to permit the aggressors the

Americans of all persuasions, all religious beliefs and ethnic backgrounds can
come together in peace and harmony, showing the best this community and
this country has to offer. This hometown tradition has been, for the past 15
years, a great opportunity for East Cobb residents to come together and share

East Cobb Family Brings Faith and Healing to Africa
By Sarah Hocut
The family’s first trip together placed them at Tenwek
Hospital in Bomet, Kenya. Dr. Oswald performs not only
orthopaedic services like treating clubfoot, scoliosis and other
deformation corrections but whatever other medical treat-
ment the people of Bomet may need as well. “Some more
interesting – and tragic – things I have seen include Masai
sword injuries, hippo attack victims, and horrific motorcycle
injuries,” he explains.
The family
returned to Tenwek
Hospital this year.
Besides providing
moral support, his

team in fundraising for the Atlanta area.” Since May, the
Boobulah’s have raised over 27,000 dollars… but they’re
not stopping there. To participate in both days of the walk,
each individual member has to raise $1,000, which means
that the Boobulahs are expected to raise approximately
$36,000 total! To accomplish this goal, the team has hosted
a number of fundraisers at their synagogue. From a concert
featuring Jewish musician Beth Schafer to hosting a book
sale called “Books for Boobs,” the Boobulahs have proven
dedicated to their cause.
The walk itself consists of a 10- to 30-mile route through
the streets of Atlanta, and members of the Boobulah team
rely on loved ones and personal experience for the motiva-
tion they will need to complete this strenuous course. “Most
of the members on our team have been directly affected
by this disease,” says Schepps. “Either they are survivors

Official Flagship Georgia State FOCuS Offers Swim Club for
Radio Station Football Special Needs Kids
Tune In This Fall To 1160 AM By Rachel Childs
To Catch All the Action
s FOCuS swimmer Katie Norris
Co-founded by Jennifer Henry of Woodstock, a physical
therapist, The Adaptive Swim Club is only one of the many
programs offered by the non-profit organization, Families of
Children Under Stress (FOCUS). Established in 1983, FOCUS
now serves over 2,500 families in the metro Atlanta area with
a mission to offer “emotional, informational, and physical sup-
port to families with children with disabilities or ongoing medi-
cal needs.”
Serving children affected by everything from spina bifida
and cerebral palsy to autism, The Adaptive Swim Club offers
a chance for these kids to achieve something for themselves,
make friends, and be part of a team. “It gives children with
special needs an opportunity to feel like a typical child,” says
East Cobb resident Angie Weiland, Parent Support Coordinator.
With a 1 to 4 coach/athlete ratio, Jennifer says the big-
gest difference between The FOCUS Adaptive Swim Club and a
non-adaptive swim team is the individual attention each child
receives. Participants range from age 5 to 18, and are broken
up according to age and ability level. Each practice begins

East Cobb Kids Raise Money For Heifer international
in Honor of Grandma
By Kirstin Baillie
Claire (age 7), along with her brother Colin (age 10),
decided that they would still hold a fundraiser, but now
donate the money to their grandma’s favorite charity, Heifer
International. Thus the “Grandma’s Charity Sale” was born.
With the help of their East Cobb cousins, Joshua (age 6)
and Kara (age 4) MacKay, the kids made signs, collected gently
used items from home, gathered items from neighbors, handed
out flyers, sent emails, and then set up and managed a garage
sale and lemonade stand on July 30, 2010.
Through the generosity of friends, neighbors and garage
sale shoppers, Claire, Colin, Joshua, and Kara collected $975
in total! By surveying those who attended the sale to tally the
most popular Heifer gift animals, the grandchildren donated the
money to Heifer International, giving the gift of one cow, one

course and field of runners are looking great,” said Travis
Gower, Race Course Director. “We’re looking forward to see-
ing the greater East Cobb community come out to kickoff
East Cobb Day with our 5K race and then participate in the
East Cobber Parade and Festival.” “We’ve changed the race
this year to include the entire East Cobb community to really
build a day-long event - the new East Cobb Day,” said Tom
Boyle, Race Director, East Cobb 5K Road Race. “We are
building on one of Cobb County’s longest running community
traditions – the Walton Raider Chase - to create an even bet-
ter community-wide event.”
The race is the principal fundraiser for the Walton High
School cross country and track & field programs. Awards
will be presented to the top male and female runners over-
all, as well as the top three male and female runners in age
groups from 14 and under to 70 and older.
The race kicks off at Walton High School at 1590 Bill
