31st Annual Georgia Marble Festival

September 28, 2011 by Beth Leave a Comment


The 31st annual Georgia Marble Festival is coming up this Saturday and Sunday, October 1 and 2, 2011 at Lee Newton Park in Jasper, Georgia. This exciting weekend will be jam packed with plenty of things to do. To get things started, a parade will go through downtown Jasper starting at 10 AM on Saturday, October 1. Many local artisans set up booths to sell their homemade arts and crafts and tasty treats. There will be a kid’s area for the younger folks to be entertained. You can pick from 3 different marble quarry tour options. It is fascinating to see where the Georgia marble comes from and how the industry works. Various live bands will be performing for your entertainment throughout the weekend in the pavilion in the park starting after the parade.

The festival is open from 10:30 AM to 6 PM on Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM on Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students 6 and up, free for children 5 and under. For more information on the festival, call the Pickens County Chamber of Commerce at 706-692-5600.

Also part of the celebration is the 31th annual Georgia Marble Festival Fine Arts Competition taking place in the Pickens County Chamber of Commerce Community Room across from Lee Newton Park. This is a juried competition bringing artists from all around the region. Stop by to see some of the wonderful works of art being showcased.

For those who are more active, there is a 5K Run Road Race and 1 mile Fun Run happening early Saturday morning. This is sponsored by Jasper United Methodist Women. Proceeds will go to help fund the ministries of the Dorcas Circle. For more information on the race and to sign up, call 706-253-2100.

Lee Newton Park is located on Stegall Street in Jasper, GA.

What’s The Best Way To Lower Triglycerides?

September 26, 2011 by Beth Leave a Comment

Healthy lifestyle choices are key.


Lose weight. If you’re overweight, losing 5 to 10 pounds can help lower your triglycerides. Motivate yourself by focusing on the benefits of losing weight, such as more energy and improved health.

Cut back on calories. Remember that extra calories are converted to triglycerides and stored as fat. Reducing your calories will reduce triglycerides. Avoid sugary and refined foods. Simple carbohydrates, such as sugar and foods made with white flour, can increase triglycerides.

Limit the cholesterol in your diet. Aim for no more than 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol a day — or less than 200 mg if you have heart disease. Avoid the most concentrated sources of cholesterol, including meats high in saturated fat, egg yolks and whole milk products.

Choose healthier fats. Trade saturated fat found in meats for healthier monounsaturated fat found in plants, such as olive, peanut and canola oils. Substitute fish high in omega-3 fatty acids — such as mackerel and salmon — for red meat.

Eliminate trans fat. Trans fat can be found in fried foods and commercial baked products, such as cookies, crackers and snack cakes. But don’t rely on packages that label their foods as free of trans fat. In the United States, if a food contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, it can be labeled trans fat-free. Even though those amounts seem small, they can add up quickly if you eat a lot of foods containing small amounts of trans fat. Instead, read the ingredients list. You can tell that a food has trans fat in it if it contains partially hydrogenated oil.

Limit how much alcohol you drink. Alcohol is high in calories and sugar and has a particularly potent effect on triglycerides. Even small amounts of alcohol can raise triglyceride levels.

Exercise regularly. Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most or all days of the week. Regular exercise can boost “good” cholesterol while lowering “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides. Take a brisk daily walk, swim laps or join an exercise group. If you don’t have time to exercise for 30 minutes, try squeezing it in 10 minutes at a time. Take a short walk, climb the stairs at work, or try some sit-ups or push-ups as you watch television.

What’s considered normal?

A simple blood test can reveal whether your triglycerides fall into a healthy range.

  • Normal — Less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or less than 1.7 millimoles per L (mmol/L)
  • Borderline high — 150 to 199 mg/dL (1.8 to 2.2 mmol/L)
  • High — 200 to 499 mg/dL (2.3 to 5.6 mmol/L)
  • Very high — 500 mg/dL or above (5.7 mmol/L or above)
