If pink is not your favorite

color, why in the world

would you ever want to

wear it? What does all the

pink mean this time of

year?

Most associate the color

pink with girls, women, the

female gender. When it is

used as the color of a rib-

bon, it stands for breast can-

cer awareness. The ribbon

symbolizes awareness of a

disease that one in eight

women in our country will

face. And if you are not one

of those women, chances

are you know one. It may

be a friend, family member,

or an associate.

October is Breast Cancer

awareness month. Here in

Troup County, we kick off

the month with a celebra-

tion on the last Saturday in

September in downtown

LaGrange. We celebrate

those who have survived

this disease and HOPE for a

day without breast cancer!

We also honor the memory

of those we’ve lost.

This is the 8th year of the

“Paint The Town Pink/Hope

For A Day” celebration on

Lafayette Square in down-

town LaGrange. The event

brings awareness of breast

cancer to the community;

plus, a host of other health

and wellness information

will be available. Free clini-

cal breast exams will be

provided as will vouchers

for mammograms to women

who qualify. “Paint The

Town Pink/Hope For A

Day” events will be on the

square from 9:30 a.m. until

1:00 p.m. There will be

speakers, entertainment and

lots of raffle prizes.

How can you show support?

Join the walk or come to the

square on Saturday,

September 28th wearing

your pinkest outfit! This

year, there is a Western

theme to the event. You can

also decorate your yard,

business or school and send

a picture to our website,

bffl/hopeforaday.com. Or,

buy a sign in memory or in

honor of a survivor that will

be placed on the walk route

to remind the walkers why

they are doing what they are

doing. Or, you can donate

to a walking team. And you

can buy a pink ribbon ad

from The Troup County

Banner for a special pink

edition of the paper that will

go out September 26! Direct

donations will be greatly

appreciated; all proceeds go

toward fighting breast can-

cer and providing support in

Troup County and the sur-

rounding area.

Your action will show sup-

port for a worthy, local

cause. For more information

call Wanda Lowe @ 706-

845-3866.

Wear Pink To Fight Breast Cancer In Troup County!

Page 4: Troup County Banner September Issue

One of my chores in

the summertime was

cutting the grass. The

one place I liked to cut

was the apple orchard.

It was big and clear

except for the apple

and peach trees. I

could get on that

mower and almost cut

it without thinking

about it. On a beauti-

ful day with the breeze

blowing as long as it

wasn’t too hot. I could

dream about all the

places and the things I

would do later in life.

My dad had just

bought a new Gravely

Tractor. I was enjoying

that tractor. This one

day I had almost fin-

ished cutting the grass.

I saw a movement near

my foot on the deck of

the mower. I thought it

was a blade of grass so

I kept on cutting. I

looked again more

closely and realized it

was a green snake. I

am deathly afraid of

snakes. Well, I don’t

have a greedy bone in

my body. If that snake

wanted to ride on the

mower he could. I did-

n’t care.

I was up and off

that tractor before I

knew what I was

doing. You have seen

cowboys that jump on

their horses from the

back? That’s what I

did except I backed

off. I took off for the

house running and

screaming snake. My

dad saw me though the

window and thought I

had been bitten by the

snake.

After my dad

checked me out told

me I had not been bit-

ten, he went to check

on his new tractor that

he had just bought a

few weeks earlier. He

never found the snake

but he did find his

tractor climbing his

prize apple tree. He

finally got it cut off

where I had left it

running when I

backed off it. Both

front tires were flat

and the axle was

broken.

Needless to say

he was a mad man.

This was a new

Gravely tractor I had

broken. Dad decided

he should cut the

grass the rest of the

summer. I personally

think he should have

blamed the snake not

me. His only com-

ment was “ Ain’t no

snake worth all

that”. Obviously he

didn’t like snakes

either.

Calvin, of the "Calvin

and Hobbes" comic strip

fame, once imparted

some timeless wisdom:

"If people sat outside and

looked at the stars each

night," he observed, "I'll

bet they'd live a lot dif-

ferently."

I believe he's right. I try

to sit outside every night

before bedtime to

breathe the night air and

look at the sky. It's a

simple practice. For me,

a time of deep relaxation

and spiritual cleansing.

Year by bewildering year

our world grows more

complex. We crave peace

in our souls. We long for

simplicity in lives that

too easily become relent-

lessly tangled in compli-

cated webs.

One man, David,

enjoyed the simple

things of life. He some-

times took jobs in the

American west at dude

ranches, national parks

and seasonal resorts.

His brother, however,

wanted to entice him to

get a "real" job and live

in a world surrounded by

things that only money

can buy. So David's

brother often sent him

photos of himself enjoy-

ing the so-called "good

life." He labeled his

snapshots "My new

sound system" or "My

new car."

But the photographs

stopped arriving after

David responded with a

picture of his own. He

sent his brother a large

poster with a breathtak-

ing view of Wyoming's

cab for a living. It was a

cowboy's life, a life for

someone who wanted no

boss. What I didn't realize

was that it was also a min-

istry. Because I drove the

night shift, my cab became

a moving confessional.

Passengers climbed in, sat

behind me in total anonymi-

ty, and told me about their

lives. I encountered people

whose lives amazed me,

ennobled me, made me

laugh and weep. But none

touched me more than a

woman I picked up late one

August night. I was

responding to a call from a

small brick fourplex in a

quiet part of town.

I assumed I was being sent

to pick up some partyers, or

someone who had just had a

fight with a lover, or a

worker heading to an early

shift at some factory for the

industrial part of town.

When I arrived at 2:30 a.m.,

the building was dark

except for a single light in a

ground floor window. Under

such circumstances, many

drivers just honk once or

twice, wait a minute, then

drive away. But I had seen

too many impoverished

people who depended on

taxis as their only means of

transportation. Unless a sit-

uation smelled of danger, I

always went to the door.

This passenger might be

someone who needs my

assistance, I reasoned to

myself. So I walked to the

door and knocked.

"Just a minute," answered a

frail, elderly voice. I could

hear something being

dragged across the floor.

After a long pause, the door

opened. A small woman in

her 80s stood before me.

She was wearing a print

dress and a pillbox hat with

a veil pinned on it, like

somebody out of a 1940s

movie. By her side was a

small nylon suitcase. The

apartment looked as if no

one had lived in it for years.

All the furniture was cov-

ered with sheets. There

were no clocks on the walls,

no knickknacks or utensils

on the counters. In the cor-

ner was a cardboard box

filled with photos and glass-

ware. "Would you carry my

bag out to the car?" she

said. I took the suitcase to

the cab, then returned to

assist the woman. She took

my arm and we walked

slowly toward the curb. She

kept thanking me for my

kindness. "It's nothing," I

told her. "I just try to treat

my passengers the way I

would want my mother

treated."

"Oh, you're such a good

boy," she said. When we got

in the cab, she gave me an

address, then asked, "Can

you drive through down-

town?" "It's not the shortest

way," I answered quickly.

"Oh, I don't mind," she said.

"I'm in no hurry. I'm on my

Park. On the back was

David's message: "My

back yard."

I believe I understand

how David feels. While

his brother was striving

for THE Good Life,

David aimed for A

Good Life. There's a

difference.

THE good life requires

that we take pleasure in

new things; A good life

requires that we take

pleasure in moments.

To enjoy THE good life

we have to get ahead;

to enjoy A good life we

have to make the trip

worthwhile.

THE good life is sup-

ported by feeding our

pocketbooks; A good

life is supported by

feeding our souls.

Over a century ago,

John Burroughs put it

like this: "To find the

universal elements

enough; to find the air

and the water exhilarat-

ing; to be refreshed by

a morning walk or an

evening saunter...to be

thrilled by the stars at

night; to be elated over

a bird's nest or a wild-

flower in spring -- these

are some of the rewards

of the simple life." I

call it a good life.

I don't want to collect

more stuff at the

expense of collecting

memories. And I don't

want to let making a

buck interfere with my

making a difference.

I'm already looking for-

ward to tonight when

I'll sit outside and look

up at the stars.

way to a hospice." I

looked in the rearview

mirror. Her eyes were

glistening. "I don't have

any family left," she con-

tinued. "The doctor says

I don't have very long."

I quietly reached over

and shut off the meter.

"What route would you

like me to take?" I asked.

For the next two hours,

we drove through the

city. She showed me the

building where she had

once worked as an eleva-

tor operator. We drove

through the neighbor-

hood where she and her

husband had lived when

they were newlyweds.

She had me pull up in

front of a furniture ware-

house that had once been

a ballroom where she

had gone dancing as a

girl. Sometimes she'd ask

me to slow in front of a

particular building or

corner and would sit star-

ing into the darkness,say-

ing nothing.

As the first hint of sun

was creasing the horizon,

she suddenly said, "I'm

tired. Let's go now." We

drove in silence to the

address she had given

me. It was a low build-

ing, like a small conva-

lescent home, with a

driveway that passed

under a portico. Two

orderlies came out to the

cab as soon as we pulled

up. They were solicitous

and intent, watching her

every move. They must

have been expecting her.

I opened the trunk and

took the small suitcase to

the door. The woman

was already seated in a

wheelchair. "How much

do I owe you?" she

asked, reaching into her

purse.

"Nothing," I said. "You

have to make a living,"

she answered. "There are

other passengers," I

responded.

Almost without thinking,

I bent and gave her a

hug. She held onto me

tightly. "You gave an old

woman a little moment

of joy," she said. "Thank

you." I squeezed her

hand, then walked into

the dim morning light.

Behind me, a door shut.

It was the sound of the

closing of a life. I didn't

pick up any more passen-

gers that shift. I drove

aimlessly, lost in thought.

For the rest of that day, I

could hardly talk. What

if that woman had gotten

an angry driver, or one

who was impatient to

end his shift? What if I

had refused to take the

run, or had honked once,

then driven away? On a

quick review, I don't

think that I have done

anything more important

in my life.

We're conditioned to

think that our lives

revolve around great

moments. But great

moments often catch us

unaware beautifully

wrapped in what others

may consider a small

one.

BRAINJOGGING: OUR MOST POWERFUL TOOL AGAINST

AUTISM, ADHD, ALZHEIMER’S AND MUCH MORE!Brainjogging is a software program that enhances the powers of the brain, devel-

oped by Shirley Pennebaker, M. Ed. of Lagrange’s Camp Academia, Inc. Parents may

actually control the education achievement of their children! Camp Academia staff empha-

sizes daily use of the computer program for five to seven minutes before school and right

after getting home from school, before homework. If they can fit in an extra period in

between, that’s fine too. The idea is to give the “weak” areas of the brain additional calis-

thenics or “jogging.” Ages three to 80 enjoy the enhanced learning and memory benefits

of the workouts.

Brainjogging is totally holistic in nature. There is absolutely no use of medi-

cines in this approach to increasing attention levels, focus, and brain processing. Actually,

many of her students who initially came on medication were later taken off meds as the

effect of Brainjogging took root.

Consequently, Ms. Pennebaker has also seen that the incorporation of the

Brainjogging stimuli with autistic children has had miraculous results. As such, the U.S.

Patent Office issued an additional patent allowance titled: Method of Treating Autism

Using Brainjogging System!

Now Ms. Pennebaker and Camp Academia, Inc.- from right here in our own

backyard, can say that they are the FIRST to have received U.S. Patent Approval for

autism treatment! Recent studies have found that 1 in 57 boys have been diagnosed with

Autism in recent years. There are a wide range of symptoms, and each child is affected

differently. There is no known cure. However, Brainjogging has demonstrated tremendous

improvement in the symptoms in a short period of time. Ms. Pennebaker’s patent is not a

cure, but it does represent a great breakthrough which is medical news!

And what does this approval mean? Parents now have a reason for hope!

And the rest?

Physicians may consider an alternative to medication! Brainjogging is a viable

option to medication for treating children with attention, anxiety, focusing, language, pro-

cessing, memory and learning problems.

The factor that tipped Ms. Pennebaker off to thinking Brainjogging might work

with these children was her normal, everyday work with dyslexic children. “I noticed that

just like with the dyslexic kids, children with autism had difficulty with processing speed

and eye movements. We had great success using Brainjogging with the dyslexic ones, so it

stood to reason this might work with the autistic cases. Everything that I am reading now

is verifying our findings. Brainjogging is working more effectively, efficiently, and rapidly

for diminishing the symptoms of autism.”

Ms. Pennebaker’s work and effort in this field has the potential to become

known to doctors all over the nation. According to Ms. Pennebaker, “This was a very

arduous process to obtain these patents. A lot of time and money went into it, but we hope

that many, many people across the nation will benefit from this, especially if we are able to

acquire FDA approval.”

Camp Academia and Ms. Pennebaker have recently ventured into projects that

will broaden the scope of Brainjogging and its benefits. Camp Academia has seen a dra-

matic increase in referrals by neurologists for individuals suffering from the onset of

dementia as well as Alzheimer’s. Seniors affected by these diseases are already seeing

remarkable results.

Additionally, an internationally recognized Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Center has asked to have their speech therapists trained to be able to administer

Brainjogging to their patients, thus expanding the amazing benefits of Brainjogging to new

populations. Patients and their loved ones will be able to experience recovery at a much

quicker pace than ever before.

Good bye drugs! Ms. Pennebaker works in a pediatrician’s office in Florida for

one or two weeks monthly. Rather than prescribing stimulant and anxiety medications for

patients, this physician prescribes Brainjogging and cognitive control exercises like those

taught in the home office (LaGrange, GA)! Neurologists and speech therapists are now

referring their patients to Camp Academia for the onset of dementia, stroke, Alzheimers

and other disorders.

The reach of Brainjogging may be spreading as far as Cambodia! A school for

underprivileged children has received a donation of computers, which will soon be

equipped with the Brainjogging Program!

KEEP THIS ARTICLE! The vast scope of Brainjogging and its extraordinary

outcomes are broadening every day! In fact, Camp Academia, Inc. is offering a free con-

sultation for services through October 31st when individuals bring this article.

Camp Academia is located at 1507 Vernon Rd., 706-884-4492.
