    Tough the economics are changing and the technology andpharmacology continue to evolve, caring or patients is still much thesame as it has been or decades. A patient comes in with a problemthat needs to be solved, and my job is to listen to my patient and nda solution to their problem, says Dr. William Porter, a physician at

    WellStar Family Medicine in Bridgemill. Porter was a systems analysthe received his bachelors degree in mathematics and computer sciencerom Oglethorpe University in Atlantawhen he realized that hepreerred and needed contact with people instead o machines. Sohe decided to apply his problem-solving skills to medicine, went tomedical school and became adoctor.

    Practicing Medicine...One Patient at a Time

    Dont ignore symptomsand dont put o seeinga doctor. No problem is

    too small or too big.Dr. William Porter

    Dr. William Porter

    And he is glad he did. Easing patients ears and helpingthem get well is so rewarding, he afrms. You can see it intheir eyes when they know that you have helped them andthat you really care. Tats my reward. At his Bridgemillpractice, Porter, who is board certied in amily medicine,treats preteens, senior citizens and all ages in between. Oneo the aspects o amily practice that he enjoys is the varietyo conditions anddiseases he gets to treat. No two days arethe same. I never know what the day will bring. I see 25 to 32

    patients most days, anddo everything rom routine physicalsand chronic disease management to gynecology exams andminor skin surgeries. Porter says he has the best o both

    worldsa chance to diagnose and treat a variety o conditionsand a chance to build relationships with amilies he has treatedor years and with patients who have chronic illnesses thathe regularly helps them manage. Unlike surgeons or otherspecialties, in amily medicine our relationships are ongoingand can last along time.

    Although treating patients who have a variety o conditionsis interesting, it is also challenging. Staying current on newinnovations in medicine is alie-long eort. I routinely have a

    stack o medical journals and articles that I read every monthto stay on top o what is new, Porter says. Newer treatmentsinclude a range o minimally invasive surgical procedures oreverything rom heart to abdominal procedures. Te recoverytime is oten insignicant. I marvel at that, he notes. Andimproveddrugs or prevention and treating chronic conditionsthat can lead to serious illness such as diabetes or high bloodpressure are increasinglie spans.

    Unortunately, Porter notes, he is not seeing innovationswhen it comes to treating persistent inections. Te overuseo antibiotics has led to resistant strains o bacteria. Its scary.Tere doesnt seem to be many new eective antibiotics beingdeveloped. I wouldlove to see more innovations comingdownthe pipe in this eld.

    What health tips does he oer? Good nutrition, he afrms,is the key to wellness. I people dont eat a good balanceddiet rich in resh vegetables and ruits, there is no amount omedicine or surgery, or other treatment that I can render that

    will make up or that. Very oten when I see someone that isrequently sick, I nd out that they are not eating anythingclose to a healthy balanced diet. It doesnt take a degree innutrition. I you can lookdown at your plate and see ourcolors, then you have a pretty balanced meal.

    Porter notes that it is also important or patients to see adoctor when they think something is wrong. Dont ignoresymptoms anddont put o seeing a doctor. No problem istoo small or too big. And you need to nd adoctor that youtrust and can be completely honest with. Its essential that youare comortable telling your primary care physician everything.I you dont trust your doctor, you should probably nd adierent doctor.

    Dont Follow the Herd

    Teres a theory on Wall Street that goes somethinglikethis: I you ollow the crowd and buy the hot investment

    o the day, chances are youll be scooping up shares whenmost others are about to sell. Tis natural herd instincto buying when everyone is euphoric may mean youveentered the game too late and are buying at the wrong time.

    Investors oten jump in at the wrong time becausetheyre worried about what others are doing instead oocusing on good old-ashioned undamentals such as acompanys earning potential and its management.

    History continually shows us that when individualschoose investments without a prudent basis or doing so,they oten wind up losing money that can take many yearsto recover. We saw this rom 1998-2000, when investors

    drove the NASDAQ composite over 5,000 -- only to seeit all to less than 2,000 over the ollowing year.

    Generally when individuals avoid investments becausethe popular thinking is to steer clear o them, opportunitiesare oten overlooked. We saw this in early 1982, wheninterest rates were high and companies had a difculttime impressing analysts with their earning potential. Tatperiod proved to be the beginning o a bull market thatlasted more than teen years.

    GOOD ADVICEIn response to market downturns, some investors shit a

    greater percentage o their assets toliqui

    dinvestments. imeand again, this strategy has also proven to be a mistake.

    Keep in mind that, over its history, the stock market hasexperienced nearly twice as many bullish periods as bearishperiods. And while past perormance is no guarantee outure investment results, the stock market has bouncedback rom every major market downturn to date.

    When times get tough or stocks, we generally recommendthat you maintain your condence in their long-termgrowth potential and use these simple strategies:

    stocks declines in value, but the underlying business stillappears sound, consider buying more shares. You willreduce your overall cost basis; you do, o course, increaseyour losses should the stock value continue to all.

    27/52

    It was my privilege and honor to be a part o naming the JusticeCenter or Frank. No one could be more deserving. Hes beenthe heart and soul o the court system in Cherokee County ora generation, says Johnston. Frank is a tremendous role model.

    What I admire most about him is that in almost 40 years as oneo the most important and powerul people in Cherokee County,hes lived modestly and ocused his abilities and energy on helpingothers. Hes never sought anything or himsel, including any

    recognition or his accomplishments and service. Hes actuallyembarrassed by the accolades hes receiving now. Tats just thekind o true servant he is.

    In act, Mills acknowledges the honor modestly. I am notsure I deserve it, but I am incredibly humbled and honored bythat, he afrms.

    Te Cherokee County Chamber o Commerce recently honoredMills as well. What an honor to bestow the title o First Citizeno Cherokee County on Judge Frank C. Mills III. Te mostprestigious award presented by the Cherokee County Chamber,

    this accol

    ad

    e isd

    esigned

    to recognize a Cherokee County resid

    entor their signicant meritorious service to the community, saysPam Carnes, Chamber president and CEO.He is deserving o this recognition, not only or his service to thecommunity through elected ofce, but also or his service to theBoy Scouts o America, Leadership Cherokee and the communityas a whole.

    Mills says he never planned on spending three decades in publicservice. I started as adistrict attorney, and when District AttorneyButch Holcomb died, I was appointed to replace him. Not longater that, Judge Marion Pope was appointed to the Court o

    Appeals, and I was appointed to ll his position as a judge. Aterthat, one thing kind oled to another.

    During his many years o public service, Mills has received manysuch notable honors including: Distinguished District Attorney

    Award rom the Prosecuting Attorneys Council in 1979, JusticeRobert Benham Public Service Award in 1999 and was the statesnominee or the American Bar Associations Judicial Excellence

    Award in 2003, Outstanding Young Man o America or CherokeeCounty in 1982 by the Jaycees; Volunteer o the Year in 2004 byCherokee FOCUS; Light o Hope Award in 2011 rom CASACherokee, and the Jean Harris Volunteer o the Year Award by theRotary Club o Canton in 2012.

    He is quick to share the honors with peop le who have workedalong with him. I have been very ortunate to have always

    worked with excellent, devoted co-workers. I am not just sayingthat, he says. Cherokee County has been very ortunate to havehaddedicated sheris, clerks, district attorneys and many otheragencies I do not want to leave outall competent and helpul.People like to joke about lawyers, and so do Iand in act, so domost lawyers. But the Bar in Cherokee County is also excellent,and no-nonsense. Tey work hard, le appropriate motions anddo not waste time with some o the rivo lous stu you oten readabout in other places. People should read the newspapers everydayand see what is going on in other communities, and thank theirlucky stars or the court, law enorcement personnel and even thelawyers who are currently serving them, he afrms.

    Also, I have oten said that by working in an old crampedcourthouse or so many years, it gave all o us a lieboat

    Ten I was voted into the American Society oPerumers.

    oday Ray is one o about 200 elite ull perumersin the United States and can recognize thousandso varying scents. She combined her ragranceexpertise with her husbands manuacturing

    and production experience to create RayvenCompany Candles, a local company that cratsanddistributes distinct candles and soaps. Eachcandle is hand-crated using the highest qualityingredientssoy-based wax, clean-burning, allnatural cotton wicks, essential oilsand blendedto oer superior ragrance throw. We take greatpride in crating the nest candles available. Notonlydo they smell good when you pick them upin the store, when you take them home you willhave that beautiul aroma or the entire lie othe candle. Teir Primitive candles are cratedto oer 80 hours o ragrant burn.

    In addition to the aromatic candles, Ray hascreated distinct natural, moisture-rich, ragrantsoaps. My daughter had extremely painuleczema, so rather than use the steroids the doctors

    were recommending, I started researching anatural way to help her skin and we developedthese soaps, Ray explains. We make our soapsusing the traditional cold process method and useolive, coconut, palm and shea butter as the baseo all our soaps. We use only essential oils along

    with natural pigments and vegetable or plant

    powders in our soap bars. A lot o people havetold me that they no longer need to moisturizeonce they start using our soap. We oten cantkeep it in stock.

    Ray says that her intense training has changedhow she perceives the world. It opened myeyes to a whole new world I had no idea existeduntil I was breaking each o the natural scentsdown and learning that most naturals containvery similar ingredients, just at dierent ratios.So when I look at a lea on a tree, I dont justsee aleaI think o the natural ingredients that

    make up its unique odor. She has a passion ornding inspiration rom nature, and uses herimagination to ormulate ragrances. A simplestroll down a woodsy path, nding a mosscovered rock or the smell o rain can becomethe basis or a ormulation, she notes. We loveCherokee County and we are committed to ourcommunity and to the planet with best practicesin all phases o candle production.

    When I asked Annie to be editor or the second bookabook on amily she looked over my stories and said it seemeda litt le lopsided with only a mans perspective. So we decidedto collaborate. For all the readers who have asked, What didyour wie say about HA article?...now they will know. Headds that the humorous pen and ink illustrations by his wieadd an extradimension to the stories. I just wish shed givenme more hair.

    Michael and I have been working on the book project sincelast June. It started with me in the editor role only, as I wasor his irst book he Eyes Dont See. We already knew thesubject o the second book would be amily and marriage.But ater looking over Michaels stories, I began to think thebook would be more enlightening i it included the womansperspective, too, Ann explains.

    Michael and I settled on a hesaid/she said ormat...or every

    story Michael tells about us or thekids, theres a story rom me aboutthe same subject, and sometimes Ishare an opposite point o view!

    Ann says that having Michael edit her stories was occasionallya painul process or both o them. I ound out that shapinga story rom scratch is a lot dierent rom just shaping itup. In this case, there was the added element o me puttinginto words or the irst time my take on ami ly events asrelated by Michael. Mostly the dierences were just unny,but occasionally they were annoying to Michael or even alittlepainul. Writing things down is enlightening! Ann notes.

    Editing the book truly became a amily project with parents,siblings and even their sons weighing in. My mother and oneo my sisters especially oered many editorial suggestions. Oursons, yler and Joseph, have both read the book, reluctantly.

    Actually, they both surprised us with some pretty good judgmentcalls and suggestions or a ew changesmostly along the lineso how to make something unnier, Ann explains.

    he book begins with stories showing the culture clashbetween Michaels and Anns very dierent amilies. hereader is invited to see how the relationship works out incommunicating, raising the kids, and in shaping the childrens

    values and religious belies. I wasnt sure about how much toinc lude o our ups anddowns through the years. Michael hasalways related our amily struggles in his stories. As adoctor,hes listened to thousands o patients over the years. In his

    been given a large utility pole to use as the main beam for a

    footbridge over a large creek on the trail network they built and

    maintain along the river just west of Canton. The pole had been

    delivered to the site, but the Scouts had no way to get it into

    position across the creek. Frank lived nearby, and when heavy

    rains and possible flooding were predicted, he tied one end

    of the pole to a tree by the creek. When the area flooded, he

    paddled his canoe to the site, pulled the other end of the now-

    floating pole across the creek, and tied it to a tree on the other

    side. When the waters receded, the pole was left straddling the

    creek, ready to be jacked into its exact position.

    mentality. By that I mean in a lieboat, i one person moves ordoes something, it aects everyone else in the boat. In CherokeeCounty, we are still mindul o that and try to check with eachother beore we try something new. It makes or better workingrelationships and morale among everyone, Mills adds.

    Mills says that one o the lessons he learnedduring his long

    tenure as judge an

    dwants to pass on to his successors is mun

    dane,but important. I hope my successors pay heed. I used to be

    known or holding court at all hours. I have truly run in anothercounty until 4 a.m. In Cherokee and other counties, it was notunusual to go until midnight. Tat was or a reason. I started in amulti-county circuit. We did not have the luxury o coming backto the same county the next day, or even the next week because

    we would have court scheduled in another county. Witnesses andparties also may have own in rom another state, he explains.Tere is great pressure to nish and not have to come back. Ido not like to make parties who have waited allday come back.But there is a physical toll or that on everyone, even me. A ewyears back I had a blood clot in myleg. Te doctor told me that

    condition is common or airline pilots, judges, and anyone whosits or long hours. I hope my successors willlook ater themselvesbetter, he urges.

    As Mills transitions to the next phase o his lie, he says thathe is looking orward to less administrative duties and moreScouting adventures and time with amily. Ater logging 30 yearson the bench, rendering countless legaldecisions, and garneringhighest honors rom his colleagues and community, Mills seemsmodestly content.

    My late sister-in-law used to say, Working together or thegood o all. I hope people will remember me or that, he adds.

    And on most Sunday aternoons rom May throughOctober, there is a polo match to be played. One o therst things Cashin did when he moved to the arm wasto lay out a polo eld in one o the pastures. Since then,hes taught hundreds o horse enthusiasts to play polo,hosted hundreds o matches, raised millions odollarsor charities and played more chukkers (periods o playin polo) then he can count. Oten called the sport okings, polo is played while riding a pony, although theterm pony is purely traditional and the mount is actuallya ull-sized horse. Cashin looks orward to the weeklymatches where he gets to team up with his riends andamilygrandchildren included nowand play thisancient game. According to the U.S. Polo Association,Cashin has the distinction o being the oldest activeplayer in the country.

    Te Sunday polo matches are generally open to thepublicthere is a $20 ee or parking. Guests are invitedto bring a blanket and their ood and beverage o choiceand experience an aternoon o polo. Sometimes the polomatches are sponsored by national and regional charities
