Changing Your
Medicare Policies
Jerry Bohus
Should you Change your
Medicare health plan?
If you are enrolled in a Medicare health
plan, each year you will have a chance to
review your coverage and make changes.
Medicare Health Plans and Prescription
Drug Plans can change their costs and
coverage each year. Many insurance
carriers offer Medicare products. Their
monthly premiums, out of pocket expense,
prescription drug formularies, cost-sharing
co pays, and physician/hospital networks
can change every year.
And with these changes comes a lot of
confusion each year! That’s where I come
in. As an Independent Agent, I help guide
you through the “Medicare information
overload”!
Here is how, as an “independent
agent”, I can help you: I don’t represent
one insurance carrier. This enables me to
get to know and uncover exactly what your
personal needs are, both medically and
financially. I understand these plans. I can
then cut through the clutter and place you in
a plan that really fits your needs!
If you were to ask “What is the best
plan?” my answer would be “There is no
best plan, only the best plan for you!”
As an independent agent, I can assist you in
finding the Medicare option that is best for you.
You can reach me at 770.499.2040 or my
office at 2655 Dallas Highway, Suite 130 (next
to Target). Marietta, 30064. I look forward to
getting together with you!

The big ol’ world of the Internet can be a fabulous place to learn new stuff and answer
questions. It can also be extremely confusing and scary-- especially when you start going to
Dr. Google for health information.
Take essential oils, for example.
You’ll find an extremely WIDE range of essential oil information floating around the
web these days. It’s no wonder why people think essential oils are merely ‘snake oil’.Did
you know that the Chinese working on our railroad, brought tea tree oil and used it for snake
bites? That’s a story in itself!
Anyway, you find everything from insanely dangerous recommendations like putting
oils in your eyeballs or injecting oils to unhealthy extremes like “Never, use essential oils
unless you have a PhD in chemistry”.
I’ve learned while oils aren’t necessarily THE only answer to all of mankind’s woes,
they do have a pretty amazing story to tell. If you give them a chance to prove themselves
you’re going to walk away with some jaw-dropping stories eventually.
I’ve also learned using oils effectively and efficiently requires some common sense.
You don’t have to be afraid of them, and you certainly don’t need 10 years of formal
education to be able to open a bottle and experience their benefits.
I’ve come to greatly appreciate balanced, rational information. Simple down to earth
history, how to use, safety precautions, why they work and how to know what to buy are
things I share with people interested in traveling this path for overall health benefits. Essential oils have been used for centuries from Ancient Egypt to today’s massage
table for any number of reasons, but our society has forgotten the power of them. Effects
can be both immediate and prolonged, and there is mounting scientific evidence of their
benefits. Use them to clean homes, pamper pets, have happy children and rid your garden
of pests. Make your own body care products that actually boost your immune system and
not bust it with chemicals. You might even try getting some restful sleep naturally for about
6 cents a drop!

LOCAL CIVIC ORGANIZATION AIMS TO WIPE
OUT MATERNAL/NEONATAL TETANUS
The Kiwanis Club of Marietta raised $1,100 at their recent luncheon meeting by hosting
a Power Ball drawing. That money will go directly to The Eliminate Project – Kiwanis
International’s current global campaign for children. It only takes $1.80 to vaccinate
a woman suffering from maternal neo-natal tetanus in the poorest, most underserved
populations around the globe. The money raised will vaccinate 611 mothers and their
subsequent children against this dread disease that kills one baby every nine minutes. In
partnership with Unicef, Kiwanis Clubs across the world aims to raise enough money to
wipe out his incredibly cruel, centuries-old disease.
Kiwanis Club of Marietta has committed to raise a minimum of $100,000 over the next
5 years towards this goal. Through the generous donations and fundraising efforts of their
members, to date they have accomplished well over half of their goal. If you would like to
be a part of this organization that serves our children both locally and abroad, please contact
Executive Director Pat Huey ([email protected]).

the hearts and minds of two American
LEWIS GRIZZARD AND
MARK TWAIN LIVE
greats – Mark Twain and Lewis Grizzard.
Previously performing as Lewis Grizzard
to sold out audiences at The Strand, Oberst
brings with him this year iconic author and
humorist Mark Twain for the first time.
Lewis Grizzard: In His Own Words
(Thursday & Friday, October 13 & 14 @
8PM)
Bill Oberst Jr’s portrayal of Lewis
Grizzard is authorized by the humorist’s
widow, who says it is as close as one can
come to seeing the late great spokesman of
the South onstage again. For anyone who
grew up in (or just loves) the South, it’s a
sweet and funny evening of theatre, with
lots of laughs and a few tears, just the way
Lewis would have liked it.
Mark Twain: In His Own Words
(Saturday, October 15 @ 8PM & Sunday,
October 16 @ 3PM)
Bill Oberst Jr.’s solo show Mark Twain
In His Own Words is just as caustic, and just
as sentimental, as Sam Clemens himself.
The material is pure Americana; tall tales,
wild adventures and sharp observations on
humanity

The Georgia Ballet’s “Peter Pan” Flies
into Powder Springs
The Georgia Ballet is thrilled to bring its season opener of “Peter Pan” to the J.
Alton Keith Theater October 8-9. This will be The Georgia Ballet’s first performance of
“Peter Pan” in their 57 year history. The production is staged and choreographed by Daet
Rodriguez, Artistic Director, and Margit Peguero, Ballet Mistress. “After performing Peter
Pan with the St. Augustine Ballet last season, I knew I wanted to bring it to GAB and share
the exhilarating show with our community,” says Mr. Rodriguez.
Over the last hundred years the story has itself taken flight in many performing arts
genres. The Georgia Ballet is transporting you into the world of Neverland through a
professional ballet performance. Providing a delightful approach into the characters’ psyche,
the show is “an invitation to dream.”
In the effort to continue to give back to the community and add to the fun, The Georgia
Ballet is partnering with MUST Ministries by inviting all audience members to dress up
in their favorite costumes and bring a jar of “Peter Pan” Peanut Butter and other nonperishable goods. Donation bins will be located at the theater throughout the weekend for
the community to make donations.
Looking forward to performances in the Paulding communities, The Georgia Ballet is
reaching out to audiences of all ages and interests, from the traditional ballet enthusiasts to
the younger generations of new-comers seeking quality entertainment opportunities. This
production of “Peter Pan” promises to offer an enchanting experience for everyone.
The 2016-2017 season also includes The Georgia Ballet’s annual holiday favorite, “The
Nutcracker” that will run from Dec. 2-4, and the not to be missed performances of “The
Sleeping Beauty” March 4-5. In addition, The Georgia Ballet is introducing a new series
entitled “Dancers Up Close” which invites the community into the studios to experience a
behind the scenes look at each performance.
To purchase tickets and find more information, visit www.georgiaballet.org or call 770528-0881. The theater is located at 2400 New MacLand Road Powder Springs, GA.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP
Rev. Sam Storey, Columnist
There are three basic attitudes about life in the time-honored story of the Good
Samaritan. (Luke 10:25-37). First, we have the lawyer who asked Jesus what he must do
to inherit eternal life. His attitude was basically: “What’s in it for me?” Think about his
question to Jesus: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” He’s not
asking what he must do to build a better world. He’s not asking even
what he can do to be a better person. All he’s interested in is finding
out what he must do to get into heaven.
KENNESAW MEMORIAL PARK CEMETERY
Permanent Tributes - Cremation Options
A memorial can be as
simple or elaborate as
you like, and there are
many options available.
An urn can be placed
in a mausoleum niche
where it can be viewed
through protective glass,
or positioned behind a
memorial plaque. The
urn can be placed in a
family plot or cremation
garden, accompanied by
a personalized bronze
memorial or headstone.
Each life is marked by beautiful milestones and measured
in relationships. At the conclusion of your life, those
connections remain, and your loved ones will need and want
to reflect on their memories of you, honor your life and, in so
doing, begin to heal.
Every memorial is for the living, and every memorial is a
gift - a personal reflection of your life and your love. Let us
help you design a memorial that speaks for you and to your
friends and family. For us, there is not greater honor.

The second attitude is expressed by the religious professionals in the
story, the priest and the Levite. That attitude is: “Not my problem.” This is a
growing attitude in our society. Not my problem. Army Major Odie Butler
was on his way to work at the Pentagon one morning when he came upon a
man who had lost control of his truck and crashed. As Butler ministered to
the man, no one had stopped to help some drivers screamed at him, honked,
made obscene gestures. They were upset that the wreck was slowing down
their morning commute. Butler tried desperately to get someone to call for
an ambulance, but those drivers who weren’t hostile to him were indifferent.
Finally, an Air Force computer specialist, Larry Meade, stopped to help. Hundreds of other motorists
passed the accident that day, and no one else offered to help. It wasn’t their problem.
Finally there is the Samaritan. His attitude is: “What can I do to help?” We could spend much
time dissecting this story and expounding the fact that the person in this story who needed help was
undoubtedly a Jew and many Jews and Samaritans despised one another. And that’s significant, of
course. It may be, however, that the Samaritan never even stopped to think about that. Thank God
there are still people like that, a lot of them who live in our community! (Rev. Sam A. Storey, Sr. is
Senior Associate Minister, Emeritus, First United Methodist Church of Marietta, Georgia. Email:

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE GOD’S WORD
Dr. Bill Ross, First Baptist Church Marietta
The Ten Commandments are a countercultural way of life. They are much more than a
way to keep America running smoothly. They are God’s words to produce a people who are
a signal that God has not left the world to its own devices. We have the Ten Commandments
because we have been delivered and redeemed by God. These words show us who we are
and who God intends for us to be. (Thanks Stanley Hauerwas and
Will Willimon – “The Truth About God,” p18).
God spoke ten words to the people of Israel as they moved from
slavery into the wilderness of freedom. The Ten Commandments,
for some, are words that are to be held by a nation enabling us to be
blessed by God. For others, these words are the foundation of our
Judeo-Christian beliefs.
The words spoken by God in Exodus 20:3-17 are meant to be
more than a set of laws for a judge’s courtroom, or a way back to
a moral nation. First, the Ten Commandments give us a glimpse of
God. Secondly, each commandment expresses how we can worship
daily as a community of faith.
The Ten Commandments include belief; however, they are
honored as we follow them each day. This is the type of people that God wishes to produce.
Lying, stealing and coveting are quite natural, but we are transformed by the Spirit of God
to be the people of truth—the church. Does your life reflect these ten words which bring
about community with others, enhancing your relationship with God?
Dr. Bill Ross, Marietta First Baptist Church, 148 Church St., www.mariettafbc.org.

Financial Planning at Every Life Stage
Just like there are four seasons in a year, there are different seasons of financial planning.
In a nutshell, the stages include:
Building and protecting your assets — At the beginning of your career, your financial
focus is typically on asset accumulation. At the same time, you should be establishing an
emergency fund and purchasing insurance to protect your income and your beneficiaries,
while you’re still able to lock in your insurability and obtain lower premiums.
Investing for the future — As your income grows, you should see a corresponding
increase in your discretionary income. During this stage, you’ll start planning and
determining the best strategies to deploy your discretionary income towards saving for your
future goals, such as a child’s college education, retirement, etc. Make sure to choose wellbalanced and tax-diversified investments to maximize growth opportunities.
Planning for retirement — As retirement draws near, planning for it becomes a priority.
Think about your retirement goals and dreams. Then, create a detailed plan with strategies
designed to invest your retirement savings in ways that provide flexibility in accessing
your retirement income in a tax-efficient manner, and enable you to protect against the
unexpected and continue your lifestyle throughout your life.
Generating retirement income — Once you retire, begin implementing your retirement
plan and enjoying the assets you’ve accumulated. Continue to periodically reevaluate your
plan and make adjustments so you stay on track.
Leaving a legacy — Later in life, leaving a legacy can become important. Legacy is
about the impact you’ll make on people, charities, and causes that are important you.
Regardless of the life stage you’re in, you should ensure that your legal and financial
documents are properly structured to ensure the most efficient and effective transfer of your
assets upon your death or incapacitation. Doing so can give you the peace of mind that
comes from knowing your family will be financially stable, no matter what happens.
