The Rev. Joseph Conyers, pastor emeritus of Austell Presbyterian Church, was presented the M.L. Lamar Award in April for a lifetime of service by the Aus-tell Business Association.

The Austell Business Association presents the M.L. Lamar Award annually in honor of the late businessman and com-munity leader.

“He was there at every point in our lives at the church,” said Kemie Brown Vansant. She noted that his wife, Jane, has ministered at his side. “You are loved and we are thankful that you were there,” she said.

“He is a man of the highest integrity,” said John Collar, a former award recipient.

Calling him “a quiet leader,” Collar noted that the retired pastor has been active in the South Cobb Rotary, C.A.M.P., and helped begin the citywide Good Friday Service.

Rev. Conyers led a group of volunteers to pick up free government surplus food in Marietta and deliver it back to his church for a monthly distribution. It was from this early project that the CAMP Food Pantry was established.

“The hand of Joe Conyers has been seen in every cause that is important to this community for the past 40 years,” Collar said. Rev. Conyers was honored as South

Cobb Citizen of the Year in 1996.The Rev. Bert Carmichael, former

chaplain at Cobb Hospital, said that Cony-ers “is a very loving and caring person who lives what he preaches.”

More than 50 people packed the Collar

Center in downtown Austell as Keith Queen, president of the Austell Business Association, presented the award April 19.

Responding to the award Rev. Cony-ers said, “This is a touching honor. I have been greatly blessed. Thanks a million.”

Cobb County has approved the rezoning of an 81-acre, mixed-use proj-ect along Riverview Road

The development site is located at 6271 Riverview Road, Mableton, is the largest rezoning project in Cobb County in the last two years, transitioning the site’s zoning designation from Heavy Industrial to Planned Village Commu-nity. The decision follows approvals from the Atlanta Regional Commission and Georgia Regional Transportation Authority.

The new mixed-use development will be built by Green Street Proper-ties, the green consulting and develop-ment division of the national real estate investment and management firm James-town Properties.

Cobb Commissioner Woody Thomp-son praised the Green Street project, call-ing it “one of the most exciting projects to

come along recently.” Based on new urbanist and green

building principles, the $300 million development plan features 2.3 million square feet of construction, encompassing single-family homes, townhouses, condo-

miniums, apartments, senior residences, retail shops and restaurants.

The project also will highlight the natural setting of the Chattahoochee River, restoring nearly half a mile of river frontage and creating a network of recreational trails for a pedestrian- and bike-friendly community. The build-out is projected to take seven to 10 years.

Green Street will lead the develop-ment along with partners Jamestown and Marthasville Development, establishing an Atlanta-based team uniquely experi-enced in sustainability and community placemaking through projects such as Glenwood Park, White Provision, City Hall East and City Side at Town Center.

Green Street aims to establish the project as an anchor for a mixed-use and recreational redevelopment program as recommended and adopted in Cobb Coun-ty’s River Line Master Plan.

The City of Smyrna will observe Memorial Day with traditional ceremonies on Monday, May 30. The Memorial Service will be held at Smyrna’s Veterans Memorial Park next to Smyrna City Hall. Public seat-ing will begin at 9 a.m. assisted by ROTC cadets from Campbell High School, and the formal ceremony will begin at 10 a.m.

The hour-long Memorial Ceremony will include the presentation of the colors by the honor guard of the 94th Airlift Wing, USAF Reserve Command, laying of the Memorial Wreaths, and distinguished guest speakers. Music for the ceremony will be provided by the 116th Army Band, Georgia Army National Guard.

The ceremony is sponsored and coordi-nated by the Smyrna Veterans Committee, an organization composed of the City of Smyrna, The Veterans Memorial Associa-tion of Smyrna, and American Legion Post 160. The ceremony is a public event and all are cordially invited to attend and par-ticipate in this Memorial Service to honor those who have sacrificed in defense of our nation. In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved indoors to the Smyrna Community Center.

, May 2011 South Cobb The Bright Side

By Cathy Shattles LipsettEditor/Publisher

There are several posts making the rounds on FaceBook and through emails about the good old days. They are reminder for those of us who are Baby Boomers of what our childhood was like.

Being of a certain age, I can relate to much of what is written. Today’s children have so many restrictions even beyond those imposed upon my own grown chil-dren. There are rules to make children safer, there are technology advances to make things easier, and there are electron-ics to make games more fun.

Perhaps children are safer in booster seats until they reach puberty, but is it really necessary? I’m all for seat belts even though I survived childhood without them. Don’t misunderstand. I like the safety fea-tures of cars today, and always fasten up before starting the car. But are we taking things too far? If it saves a life, I guess not.

I also don’t want to give up my com-puter and big television. But growing up we didn’t have computers; we had a small black and white television; and we thought we were very special when my sister and I received our own television for the room we shared. It was, of course, in black and white. There was no cable or satellite dish and the programming went off about midnight.

We played outside, making up imagi-nary games; playing baseball in the park (and I was always the last one picked for a team). We read books made of paper rather than received electronically, which is still my preferred way to read.

Our children had their own computer, Nintendo and television in their own study from a fairly early age. But they also played outside and had imaginary games and board games and read real books.

Now some of the things listed in the” remember when” postings were a problem for me even as a child. I was very germ conscious then as now – I got that honestly from my mother. So the part about drink-ing directly from the water hose was not so much a part of my youth. But then I was the oldest child of an older mother who was also big on cleanliness and germ fighting. Now, however, our children are born with a bottle of hand sanitizer in their hands and a sterile sippy cup.

Comments By CathyREMEMBER WHEN CHILDHOOD

WAS A TIME FOR FUN?The challenge for young parents today

is how, in a world of extreme government regulation, to keep their children safe yet give them the opportunities to run and play and have fun. Parents have to teach their children to use technology wisely yet keep their imaginations to create their own fun away from the computer. They have to keep them safe from predators that prey on children through their phones and emails, yet allow them the ability to trust and make new friends. Parents today have to be able to give their children a childhood with free-dom to run and play and imagine and, yes, even coming in contact with germs.

Time for studying is very important; computer time can be important; but I hope parents also will give their children time to absorb sunshine and kick a ball and enjoy nature. Children today, as in the youth of us Baby Boomers, need time to discover real books and face-to-face conversation and unscheduled time to think and dream and play.

HISTORIC MABLETON COMMUNITY GARDEN

Some 50 people came to enjoy a day of gardening fun as the Mableton Improve-ment Coalition and its partners present-ed its newest community garden, Sun-day, April 17. Above, Gov. Roy Barnes and Fannie Haughton, President of the Historic Mableton Community Garden, cut the ribbon. At right, Stephanie Mc-Iver works in her plot. The community garden on Floyd Road in the heart of Mableton features several raised beds of varying sizes (many 4’x16) available for Mableton and surrounding area resi-dents. Plot rental dues range from $20 - $45 (with special price for participants age 60+). Email [email protected] to confirm your interest or ask any question.

The Mableton Farmers Market re-opens Thursday, May 26, and will run every Thursday through Sept. 29. The market hours will be 8:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m. The location will be the Mable House complex parking lot between the Historic home and the Arts Center, located on Floyd Road.

The Mableton Farmers Market is a partnership of the Cobb County Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, Cobb Public Health, Lifelong Mableton Initiative and Mableton Improvement Coalition.

A health component will be added to the Market where guest speakers will talk about health and nutrition, dieticians will do food preparation demonstrations.

Where did you get that healthy glow?

We hear you believe in taking care of yourself inside and out. That you get heart and lung cancer screenings. And that you take advantage of the latest technology, like digital mammography.

During your pregnancy, you took childbirth and early parenting classes. And when your baby was born, you had your very own team of nurses.

You even got rid of fibroid pain through the expertise of the Fibroid Care Program.

We know your secret. And we’re sharing it so everyone can now say, “Hello, WellStar.”

We believe in life well-lived.
