St. Donan
Patron of Eigg
Died: 617
ST. Donan a remarkable fact about the widespread work of the Celtic missionary saints from the fifth century onwards is that scarcely any cases of violent opposition or martyrdom are recorded until the Viking and Danish raids began at the end of the ninth century. The pagan Celts accepted the missionaries even when they did not accept their religion and pagan and Christian symbols are found side by side on the great pictish stones.
Donan (or Donnan) deserves a note in these pages not only because of the extent of his journeyings but because he and his fellow monks on the island of Eigg provide the most dreadful case of martyrdom in the history of the Celtic Church. He and fifty-two of his followers were butchered within the refectory of the monastery. The only other martyrdoms recorded seem to be those of Constantine of Kintyre and of Kessog, and the latter is doubtful.
Unfortunately the mediaeval Life of Donan is lost, and what little we know of him is limited to the brief comments in such ancient martyrologies as Tallaght, Donegal and Oengus. The date of his birth is not known but he was contemporary with, or a little younger, than Columba. We presume that he was Irish and early in adult life crossed to Galloway. Thereafter we only know him through a chain of Kildonans up the west coast of Scotland, beginning with a Kildonan at Kirkmaiden and a Chapel Donan at Kirkcolm, and terminating at Kildonan on the island of Little Bernera in the Outer Hebrides.
The story of Donan's martyrdom was by no means unknown in mediaeval Scotland and some commemorations might be due to later interest and veneration. But the plotting of the place-names suggests a logical route of missionary progression northwards. The only St Don- nan's east of the Great Glen is at Auchterless in Aberdeenshire, and it has been suggested that Donan had a special connection with this parish-there are several place-names and we know his 'bachail' or staff was kept there till the Reformation. Perhaps for this very reason the saint's personal connection with Auchterless is more open to doubt, as the possession of the bachail in mediaeval days might well lead to the name instead of vice versa.
Only one incident is recorded as happening during these missionary years. He crossed to lona to meet Columba, and according to the story, asked that saint to act as his 'anamchara' or 'soul- friend', which took the place of the Roman Church's 'confessor'. Strangely enough, Columba refused to act as anamchara, saying, 'I shall not be a soul-friend to a company of red-martyrdom.' Obviously some explanation must be sought for this abrupt refusal. Dr A. B. Scott, who disliked Columba, saw in it the Goidheal's refusal to have any friendly intercourse with a Pict, but there could be quite different reasons, such as Columba's unwilling-ness to accept the additional responsibility which the duty entailed.
Donan eventually formed his community on the small island of Eigg, with the monastic buildings on the side facing Arisaig. It had become a large community by the date of the massacre-fifty-two is the number of monks given in the record, although for some unknown reason only fifty names are listed. It has been suggested that the monks are fictional but Dr Scott was sure he had traced local place-names deriving from them. Did Donan cross from lreland with the nucleus of such a group ready formed? Did he start with one or two and build to over fifty? Any answer to such questions would be as vague as the reason for the sudden unprecedented attack. On this subject scholars have made much of an obscure statement in the martyrologies that the monks' keeping sheep on the island hadangered a local woman of importance. Scott draws the unwarranted conclusion that when the local folk refused to take action she deliberately bribed a group of pirates to make the attack. It cannot, of course, be proved that she did not do so, so the reason for the brutality must remain conjectural. Pirates were by no means unknown but it is doubtful that they would take time to raid an obscure, penniless and inoffensive group of monks. It is more likely to have been a very early group of 'Black Gentiles' from Jutland or Denmark.
Details of the raid differ. Donan, it is said, was celebrating the Sacrament when the intruders broke in. When he begged for respite till mass was completed, they agreed and he led the monks across to the refectory 'that the place where God had been worshipped in spiritual joy might not be polluted with their blood'. The Martyrology of Donegal then states that 'he was beheaded and 52 of the monks with him' while that of Oengus suggests that the building was set on fire and they all perished in the flames. The traditional year of the massacre was 618.
Donan's festival is 16 or 17 April. From the book SAINTS OF SCOTLAND by Edwin Sprott Towill, publishers: St. Andrew's Press.

"Vous savez ce qu'il y a entre moi et mes Calvins ? Rien."
Impossible de ne pas adorer Brooke Shields dans cette pub des années 80!
oh, just adore those "old school" Fashion Ads!
Always loved the beautiful Brooke Shields, since 'The Blue Lagoon' of course and was so happy to see her in 'Lipstick Jungle' TV Show, so pity it got canceled! But hope to see more from her on the screen soon again!
I agree with you, It's always a pleasure to see those ads!! Post more of those if you can Alex!
I think that brand was always good and that jeans would be always in.. Fashion is always returned
Elle était magnifique à l'époque ! Elle est beaucoup moins naturelle aujourd'hui ….
OMG – I remember that! And I also remember being soooo jealous of her beauty!
Très jolie photo,je trouve qu'elle a des air a crystal renn … :-)
Les 90′s me manquent ! Les publicitaires d'aujourd'hui, et particulièrement dans la mode, sont trop abonnés à l'esprit corporate !
and then Kate Moss came along with HER Calvin Klein ads, and changed the world…
I frequently look back at old campaigns and the Calvin Klein ads are just so timeless! xx
PLEASE bring back high waisted jeans! I am so tired of seeing strangers bottoms, often not so beautiful!
how did you keep this photo? haha.. brooke shields is a perfect endorser.
That campaign could work still. She is an icon and that tagline is so memorable. To be honest no jean scampaign since then has been as good.
Great! hehe especially 'cause I can say "I wasn't even born yet"…
@ IS THIS IT? models review
The clock goes around for everyone…..since no one can control when they are born, there should be no shame or pride associated with being any age.
I remember when I was 14 and pretending to be her and posing while my cousin took pictures. LOL
I love this advert, on that time models didn't wear fake eyelashes and fake hair. Brooke was absolutely beautiful with real face and body without photoshop … Perfect!
I love the fit of those vintage high rise jeans. They are so flattering. Low rise has been the rage since I was in high school, but all I want to wear are higher rise. They make legs look so long. I hate the look of a long torso and teeny legs that a lower rise gives.

After these idiots opened their legs on the last game and last min against man city last year i do not feel sorry for them!
QPR still can't get there win! Feel bad for there fans, really wonder when it will happen. 2 nice goals they had for the away fans but wasn't enough and Wigan's McCarthy got them the tie. Must be pretty frustrating for QPR.
by far the most frustrating game of the season. how we did not win will be beyond anyone who watched the game.
rangers were very unconvincing and lucky to get something, good finish from cisse to get them ahead. but they to sort it out, fast.

Normandy Dist. to bus students to Francis Howell
Tuesday, 02 July 2013 04:07 Published in Local NewsNormandy School District officials will meet with parents Tuesday to answer their questions after announcing that the unaccredited district will pay to bus students to schools in the Francis Howell District in St. Charles beginning this fall.
The announcement comes on the heels of a Supreme Court ruling allowing students attending unaccredited districts to transfer to high performing schools.
All Normandy students in grades K-12 can participate in the transfer program at the district's expense. Parents can begin the transfer process July 9th at Normandy School District headquarters.
Tuesday's meeting with parents begins at 3 p.m. at the Normandy District offices.
19 firefighters killed in raging Arizona wildfire
Monday, 01 July 2013 00:14 Published in National NewsYARNELL, Ariz. (AP) - Gusty, hot winds blew an Arizona blaze out of control Sunday in a forest northwest of Phoenix, overtaking and killing 19 members of an elite fire crew in the deadliest wildfire involving firefighters in the U.S. for at least 30 years.
The "hotshot" firefighters were forced to deploy their fire shelters - tent-like structures meant to shield firefighters from flames and heat - when they were caught near the central Arizona town of Yarnell, state forestry spokesman Art Morrison told The Associated Press.
The flames lit up the night sky in the forest above the town, and smoke from the blaze could be smelled for miles.
The fire started Friday and spread to 2,000 acres on Sunday amid triple-digit temperatures, low humidity and windy conditions. Officials ordered the evacuations of 50 homes in several communities, and later Sunday afternoon, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office expanded the order to include more residents in Yarnell, a town of about 700 residents about 85 miles northwest of Phoenix.
Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo said that the 19 firefighters were a part of the city's fire department. The crew killed in the blaze had worked other wildfires in recent weeks in New Mexico and Arizona.
Fraijo said in a news conference that the department is grieving the loss of so many of its members.
"By the time they got there, it was moving very quickly," he said.
He added that the firefighters had to deploy the emergency shelters when "something drastic" occurred.
"One of the last fail safe methods that a firefighter can do under those conditions is literally to dig as much as they can down and cover themselves with a protective - kinda looks like a foil type- fire-resistant material - with the desire, the hope at least, is that the fire will burn over the top of them and they can survive it," Fraijo said.
"Under certain conditions there's usually only sometimes a 50 percent chance that they survive," he said. "It's an extreme measure that's taken under the absolute worst conditions."
The National Fire Protection Association had previously listed the deadliest wildland fire involving firefighters as the 1994 Storm King Fire near Glenwood Springs, Colo., which killed 14 firefighters who were overtaken by a sudden explosion of flames.
Morrison said several homes in the community of Glenisle burned on Sunday. He said no other injuries or deaths have been reported from that area.
About 200 firefighters are fighting the wildfire, which has also forced the closure of parts of state Route 89. An additional 130 firefighters and more water- and retardant-dropping helicopters and aircraft are on their way.
Federal help was also being called into to fight the fire, Arizona State Forestry Division spokesman Mike Reichling said.
Prescott, which is more than 30 miles northeast of Yarnell, is one of the only cities in the United States that has a hot shot fire crew, Fraijo said. The unit was established in 2002, and the city also has 75 suppression team members.
The Red Cross has opened a shelter at Yavapai College in Prescott, the sheriff's office said.
U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, whose district includes Yarnell, shot off a series of tweets Sunday night sending his condolences to those affected. He said his office will remain in contact with emergency responders and would offer help to those who needed it.
Other high profile Arizonans expressed their shock on Twitter, including former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords who called it "absolutely devastating news." U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., tweeted that he was "sick with the news."
Hundreds pack meeting to discuss radioactive waste at Bridgeton landfill
Wednesday, 26 June 2013 04:42 Published in Local NewsNew air and water tests showed no health risk from the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton. That was the message from the EPA to the big – and sometimes rowdy – crowd Tuesday night at Pattonville High School.
Residents say they are concerned that the underground fire burning at the nearby Bridgeton Landfill could spread to radioactive waste buried in the 1970s at the West Lake facility. About 650 came to Tuesday night's meeting, many demanding immediate action.
But EPA Region 7 Administrator Karl Brooks says preliminary studies show there is time to study the situation before making a decision. "That event over there on the Bridgeton side does not threaten the West Lake Landfill," Brooks said. "It gives us time to assess the science, take a look at the engineering and make good choices about it."
Some residents want the radioactive materials removed. Others favor a buyout.
Brooks says all options are on the table, but nothing will happen right away.

This topic can possibly be merged with the J'eon Love one.
What do you think about Mayweather Promotions after its successful night with all fighters winning and one earning a world title? I know there was a lot of suspicion surrounding MP - Its survivability, management, success. Although we can't give a definite answers after one great night for the stable, I think it shows that they are onto something to say the least. I feel like they really care about their fighters and that there is a lot of potential. Of course, all companies are like that before the money start talking, but I don't know. Just have that feeling and I am curious about the future of Mayweather Promotions. P.S. Sad to hear uncle Roger is still not doing well.

Mayweather promotions is in a good position to do a lot of good for a sport that has a lot of bad going on currently. I think Love is the best prospect he has in his stable and if they can keep doing what their doing then I see no reason why fighters wouldn't want to sign with them. Floyd seems to have his fighters' best interests at heart and that is a huge plus

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has noted a wave of community questions, concerns and confusion as electric- and gas-powered scooters have increased in popularity. Often called "go-peds" or "razor scooters," these vehicles look more like small motorcycles than simple scooters.
Curbside parking of recreational vehicles and trailers has posed a problem for some Jefferson County neighborhoods in the last several months. The Sheriff's Office is responsible for enforcing the parking ordinance. The ordinance does not prohibit the parking of recreational vehicles and trailers outright. It simply limits the amount of time such vehicles may be legally parked on the street to 28 days in a year's time.

Last week, Ted Cruz won the Republican U.S. Senate primary in Texas over a better-known, better-funded opponent. If you've followed the race, the narrative from the press has essentially been that Cruz is a Tea Party-backed firebrand whose knee-jerk ideology presages a rightward lurch for the GOP.
Obviously, words cannot heal or explain the terrible events of last week. But I think President Obama made some decent and heartfelt remarks on the matter. Here's what he said:

Georgia Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP)
(1.8 MB pdf file)
page 2
Introduction and Overview
Georgia, is a vibrant state, yet like much of our nation, it is facing unprecedented challenges due to a combination of world, national and state events. Since publication of
Georgia's 2008-2013 Strategic Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP)
, we have begun to experience the impacts of the Great Recession, continue to see declines in both adult and children's health, and are realizing shifting outdoor recreation preferences due to greater diversity of our population. These realities directly affect our ability to:
Properly maintain our inventory of outdoor
recreation assets
Address the emerging outdoor recreation
needs of our citizens.
Protect and conserve important natural spaces.
Improve the livability of our state and local communities.
In order for Georgia to continue to benefit from the myriad of positive impacts provided by outdoor recreation, we must seek ways to navigate these dynamic shifts and reposition our operations to take advantage of and highlight the immense value that parks and recreation bring to protecting important natural resources and maintaining healthy populations and local economic vitality. A collective and coordinated effort by all outdoor recreation providers and our state's leaders is the only way to confront both short-term challenges as well as the emerging "new normal" situations. Without a focused and coordinated force, with clear and measurable targets, the challenges facing the state and our outdoor recreation resources will only intensify.
SCORP 2014-2016 highlights many of the issues facing Georgia's outdoor recreation providers, identifies trends that will help to chart a positive course forward and outlines our priority focus for the investment of federal Land and Water Conservation Funds. SCORP 2014-2016 makes calls for cooperative action that are targeted to municipal and county recreation departments as well as to state and federal agencies and even quasi-public private service providers.
page 3
The Land and Water Conservation Fund
Created in 1965 by Congress, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) provides money for public outdoor recreation. States are eligible to receive funds and to pass them on to cities and counties, provided they produce an approved plan which defines how those monies will be used. This Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan is commonly referred to as "SCORP" and is typically updated every five years. The plan also satisfies requirements of state law (O.C.G.A. 12-3-1).
Since 1965, Georgia has received more than $83 million in federal funds from the LWCF program and has impacted more than 96% of all counties and a large number of communities in the state. Because LWCF demands a 50:50 match, those grant funds have leveraged an additional $83 million from local matching funds for a total impact to the state's outdoor recreation resources of $166 million. These funds have allowed for thousands of improvements to existing facilities, development of new facilities and the acquisition of properties for conservation and outdoor recreation.
This edition of SCORP deviates slightly from typical SCORPs by only covering three years, 2014 to 2016. Its findings and recommendations are based on five contributing elements:
Still relevant (evergreen) findings from SCORP 2008-2013 and the pending launch of the 2017-2022 SCORP assessment.
Recent research on usage trends in outdoor
Impacts of the Great Recession on outdoor
Perspectives from a recent forum of outdoor
recreation providers.
Commentary from the public.
The previous version of SCORP (2008-2013) was an exceptional document that remains relevant today. It was honored with an award for "excellence in planning" by the National Park Service and the Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals (formerly known as National Association of Recreation Resource Planners). The depth of research, carefully selected priorities and detailed strategic actions identified in the plan served as a strong foundation that continues to be relevant and provide powerful guidance to this day.
Georgia is committed to conducting a more in-depth assessment of outdoor recreation. Beginning in spring 2014, we will initiate a robust public engagement process, identify key trends in outdoor recreation and update our supply data based on a GIS inventory assessment tool currently being piloted in several entities including the National Association of Outdoor Recreation State Liaison Officers, National Park Service, National Recreation and Parks Association.

Georgia Trends
Forum of Outdoor Recreation Providers
In August 2013, a forum of outdoor recreation professionals from federal, state, local and quasi-public service providers was convened to assess the state of outdoor recreation across Georgia ("Forum"). Facilitated by the Carl Vinson Institute, participants were surveyed for their perspectives on a wide range of relevant topics including identifying the priority targets for SCORP 2014-2016, the supply and condition of existing facilities and how federal funds should be prioritized. Their responses were incorporated into this report, shaping its direction and content.
Georgia Outdoor Recreation
Inventory Assessment
A majority of Forum participants (61%) indicated that, since 2008, the condition of the recreation facilities has remained the same or declined. Specifically, twenty-three percent (23%) reported little change in the condition of their facilities and thirty-eight percent (38%) indicated a decline in their facilities. Only 38% of Forum participants declared notable improvement in the condition of their facilities since 2008.
Collectively, Forum participants called for the need to construct more outdoor recreation facilities throughout the state. They asserted that, in urban areas, population growth and increased diversification was out-stripping existing supply and that, in rural areas, the sparse availability of quality facilities naturally called for new construction.
A majority of Forum participants (67%) indicated that their portfolio of conservation lands had remained largely the same since 2008. A minority (25%) said they had increased their holdings of conservation lands. On average, the Department of Natural Resources (perhaps the most active purchaser) acquired about 7,000 acres a year between 2008 and 2013. One participant reported a reduction in their holdings of conservation lands. That said, all Forum participants agreed that it was more important, over the next three years, to care for existing facilities and to construct new facilities than it was to aggressively acquire additional lands.
Outdoor Recreation Usage
Research conducted for SCORP 2014-2016 revealed findings that were largely consistent with the trends and conclusions identified in
. Research was conducted by Dr. Gary T. Green from the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources of the University of Georgia. Trends in outdoor recreation were drawn from four primary tools:
An assessment of demographic changes.
Analysis of data from two iterations of the National Survey on Recreation and the Environment (NSRE).
Analysis of data from the National Kids Survey (NKS).
An assessment of market segmentation clusters.

Georgia Trends
Shifting Demographics
Georgia continues to change quite dramatically across several demographic aspects, from ethnicity to age profiles to the proportion of the population in urban centers. Because demographic features are an important part of both the NSRE and the NKS, we first present information from the U.S. Census Bureau on the status and changes taking place in Georgia.
With regard to ethnicity, Caucasians are declining as a proportion of total population, over time, whereas African Americans and Hispanics are growing (US Census, 2010). As it relates to age profiles, roughly 46% of Georgians are now over the age of 45. Historically, when generations entered their forties, their activities tended to slow, but that doesn't seem to be the case with the newest generation of adults 45 and older who are remaining more active than have previous generations. Since the publication of the last SCORP, the rural population of Georgia has declined, while the metropolitan population has increased by about 12%. In the 2000 Census, 69% of the population was in metropolitan areas whereas by the 2010 Census, 81% of the population was in metropolitan centers. This increase could result in higher demands and strain on recreation areas in and around metro areas.
Outdoor Activities - Adults
The NSRE is a survey of outdoor recreational activities of adults. This report relied on two iterations of the NSRE survey. Activities that were identified in the initial survey (conducted for
) as being the most popular remained the most popular in the latest survey conducted for SCORP 2014-2016. In fact, this survey says that participation increased in all of the most popular activities, with the exception of nature-based land activities. Notice in the table below that many of the most popular activities involve little or no specialized skills or equipment. The five most popular outdoor recreation activities for Georgia are outlined below.

Georgia Trends
Because outdoor recreation can be engaged through a wide diversity of activities, a single park's ability to provide mixed-offerings of activities and interests will likely increase attractiveness to broader audiences (e.g., age groups, ethnicities, etc.) and are likely to enjoy greater attendance and participation. By way of example, a facility like a ball field complex could attract and serve new audiences if it installed walking and biking trails around its perimeter.
Outdoor Activities – Kids
The National Kids Survey (NKS) is much like the NSRE, but focuses on how kids engage in outdoor recreation activities. The results of the survey can help shape the kinds of programming and facilities being developed by service providers. To the best of our knowledge, this document represents the first time NKS data has been incorporated into a SCORP document. Curiously, one of the primary findings from the NKS was the realization that kids actually do spend a lot of time playing outside, which may be contrary to prevailing perceptions. The NKS survey revealed that a strong majority (more than 57%) of children play outside more than two hours every day.
We previously reported the most popular outdoor activities for the general (adult) population as determined by the NSRE. The NKS study allows us to determine which outdoor activities children reported participating in most frequently (values rounded to whole numbers).
page 7
Georgia Trends
In addition to determining which activities children reported participating in most frequently, the NKS attempted to determine which activities children actually spent most of their time doing. This was referred to as their "Primary Activity," the single activity they did more than any other.
Roughly 84% of kids reported "playing or hanging outside." As expected, when we look at the table below, we see a large percentage of kids (about 24%) claim that activity as the one they spent the most time doing.
However, that trend doesn't always pan out as indicated in the previous tables. Of the kids reporting, 65% use an electronic device outside at some point, but only 3% report the use of electronic devices as their "Primary Activity."
People use their devices, but usually not for very long. Not all "screen-time" is the same. Mobile applications are being developed regularly that enhance the outdoor experience (e.g., guidebooks, bird calls, trail maps, photography, audio recording, GPS features for sports like orienteering, etc.). Some service providers may elect to encourage the use of such devices in outdoor settings, where appropriate. Moreover, we should appreciate the impact that social media, photographs, short videos and the like have toward motivating other "sedentary screentimers" to come out and play when they see all the great things to do.

Georgia Trends
It appears that older kids don't recreate outdoors as frequently or intensely as younger kids do. Green et al. (2012) found that younger children (in the '6 to 12' yearold age groups) spent more time outside on weekends than children that were older. One of the most dramatic contrasts existed between kids who were in the '6 to 9' year-old age group versus those in the older ('16 to 19' year-old) age group. More than 85% of the younger kids played two or more hours outdoors whereas only about 63% of older kids did.
There were also differences in the degree and type of participation between children of different ethnicities. Hispanic and Caucasian children participated in a wider diversity of outdoor activities than did children from other ethnic backgrounds. Hispanic children were more likely to spend two hours or more outside than all other ethnic groups. Generally, children from all minority groups were more involved in team sports (~57%) than were Caucasian children (~46%). Interestingly, the use of electronic devices was most prevalent among African American children (~77%).
* Rounded to whole numbers
Acknowledging that different demographic groups tend to use outdoor recreation resources in different ways may prompt some jurisdictions to adjust the kinds of facilities and programming offered to accommodate changing outdoor recreational preferences. As areas of the state change in demographic composition, it may be important to transition services and facilities to meet the recreational preferences of various groups.
Listening to music, doing art or reading (57%).
Playing video games and watching TV or DVDs (48%).
Using electronic media such as internet and texting (48%).
Nearly one-half of participants (~49%) cited other reasons for not going outside, including lack of time due to commitments like homework or weather-related issues.

Georgia Trends
Obesity continues to be a daunting epidemic that can be addressed, in part, through outdoor recreation. Roughly 29% of Georgia's adult population was obese in 2012 (Trust for America's Health 2013). This places Georgia as the 20th most-obese state in the nation (Trust for America's Health 2013). Georgia exceeds the national goal for childhood obesity in every category (e.g., age, sex, race and ethnicity) (Healthy People 2010). Considering that obese children are more likely to become obese adults, this is an unsettling trend. More than half (54%) of adults in Georgia fail to meet the CDC's recommendations for physical activity (Georgia Department of Public Health, 2011). The CDC's recommendations for weekly physical activity are either 75 minutes of vigorous activity (e.g., jogging) or 150 minutes of moderate (e.g., brisk walking).
Managing obesity is very expensive. For all Georgians, the annual cost of obesity is estimated at $2.4 billion, which includes direct health care costs and indirect costs like lost productivity due to disease, disability and death (Georgia Department of Public Health, 2011). The Georgia Department of Public Health specifically calls for communities to promote healthy lifestyles in children by creating safe places for physical activity – like parks and recreation areas.
All Forum participants declared that health and fitness objectives have long been a critical part of their programming and facilities development. Since 2008, a narrow majority of (55%) said that they had increased promotion of the health and fitness aspects of our outdoor recreation. A minority of Forum participants (45%) indicated that they are promoting health and fitness about as much now as they did in 2008. None suggested that they were doing less. All agreed that healthy lifestyles should remain an active strategy for SCORP 2014-2016.
Funding Challenges
Another major factor influencing SCORP 2014-2016 is the shift in service delivery approaches at all levels due to the prolonged, negative impacts of the Great Recession in Georgia and throughout the US. There are clear markers indicating that there will be direct and potentially long-term impacts resulting from cuts to budgets and personnel, reductions in service, deferred maintenance and an increased reliance on volunteerism and partnerships. Many of the strategic actions outlined in this document address issues related to funding. The economic condition of local, state and federal jurisdictions continues to be thready and sparse. Amplifying the economic contributions that outdoor recreation makes to local economies and maximizing fiscal self-sustainability of parks is a critical step to ensuring a bright future.

Economic Impact
Government Funding Support
A majority (85%) of Forum participants declared that they do not have adequate funding to guarantee sufficient outdoor recreation and conservation of natural resources. A minority of Forum participants (14%) indicated that they did have adequate funding. All participants agreed that securing adequate funding for outdoor recreation should remain an active strategy for SCORP 2014-2016. Forum participants indicated that collaborating with others was one of the only ways they were able to continue providing high-quality experiences to the public. A majority of Forum participants (83%) declared that, since 2008, they had increased their efforts to collaborate with partners to achieve common objectives. A minority (17%) indicated that their efforts to collaborate with partners had largely remained the same since 2008. No one claimed a reduction in their efforts to collaborate with partners. All participants agreed that collaboration should continue to be an active strategy for SCORP 2014-2016.
Georgia's Economic Forecast
Jeff Humphreys is Director of the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the Terry College of Business. He predicts that Georgia's gross domestic product (GDP) will out-pace the national GDP. Growth for the remainder of 2013 is expected at 2.5% and an additional growth of 2.8% for 2014 (Williams, 2013). Much of the shortterm growth is expected to be in the private sector. Local governments, in contrast, may continue to struggle due to reductions in federal and state funding and may need an additional two years before they begin to recover (William, 2013). Georgia currently has the fifth highest unemployment rate in the country at nearly 9% (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2013).
Economic Impact of Outdoor Recreation
The Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) produced a report in 2012 demonstrating that the outdoor recreation industry is an over-looked economic giant. Using data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, OIA showed that, nationally, annual consumer spending for outdoor recreation exceeds $640 billion. Of the $646 billion spent, roughly $120 billion was for the purchase of products (e.g., apparel, footwear, equipment, vehicles, accessories, services, etc.) and about $525 billion is due to trips and travel-related spending (e.g., food and drink, transportation, entertainment/activities, lodging, souvenirs/gifts/misc.). In Georgia alone, outdoor recreation accounts for $23.3 billion in consumer spending.
page 11
Economic Impact
The OIA estimates that outdoor recreation accounts for more than six million American jobs.
In Georgia alone, outdoor recreation accounts for some 231,000 in direct Georgia jobs.
Outdoor recreation represents $70 billion in Georgia wages and salaries.
According to the OIA, almost $40 billion is generated in federal tax revenue and nearly $40 billion in state and local tax revenues at the national level. In Georgia alone, $1.4 billion is generated in state and local tax revenue.
OIA points out that Americans spend more on bicycling gear and trips alone ($81 billion) than they do on airplane tickets and fees ($51 billion). The outdoor recreation economy grew approximately 5% each year between 2005 and 2011 at a time when economic recession caused many industries to contract.
These significant economic impacts are clearly recognized by outdoor recreation providers in Georgia. The vast majority (92%) of Forum participants agreed that promoting economic vitality should remain an active strategy for SCORP 2014-2016.
A narrow majority of Forum participants (54%) indicated that, since 2008, their agencies had increased their focus on the aspects of outdoor recreation that contribute to economic vitality. A minority (38%) said their efforts have largely remained the same since 2008. Interestingly, one participant declared that they had reduced their focus on economic vitality. Clearly, the outdoor recreation industry serves a powerful role in local, state and national economies. Continuing to provide quality parks and facilities will encourage increased participation and economic vitality. Efforts on behalf of land managers to engage with local business partners, concessionaires, and to consider migrating to more business-like approaches in the management of their lands will further contribute to the impact parks have on economic vitality.
page 12
Call to Action
In 2014-2016,
Georgia will continue to advance the significant positive impacts that public outdoor recreation has on our health, economic standing and protection of natural spaces. Specific action steps are outlined below for these three primary outcome goals. It is critical to bear in mind that these actions are directed to all outdoor recreation providers, from municipal and county departments to state and federal agencies and even quasipublic entities as well. Only through a collective, concerted effort will we achieve our shared objective of providing the best outdoor recreation experiences for communities to support healthy people, vigorous economies and functioning environments.
Top Three Funding Priorities
Georgia's priority focus for the expenditure of federal assistance funds will be to attend to the urgent needs of our current outdoor recreation facilities. We will give secondary preference to developing the kind of outdoor recreation facilities that are able to:
Help meet the needs of a changing demography.
Help recreation providers generate revenue and ensure financial sustainability.
Continue to refine our priorities for the acquisition of critical outdoor recreation areas in the future.
Data-driven Decision Making
To the best of our ability, we will base our priority actions and directives on the best available, corroborated data to ensure effective decision-making. This may require conducting additional surveys, mining existing data sets, executing pilot programs and even refining previous research questions to resolve conclusions that are ambiguous or confusing.
Call to Action - Health
Outdoor Recreation Directly Improves Health
Georgia recognizes that parks and outdoor recreation opportunities are a vital part of our efforts to combat our alarming problems with obesity and physical inactivity. Participation in outdoor recreation provides an accessible, affordable way for all Georgians to directly improve their health, both physically and mentally.
We will continue to seek opportunities to leverage initiatives, programs, funds, partnerships and LWCF support to advance outdoor recreation projects that directly support active, healthy lifestyles.
We will, to the best of our ability, work to improve access to high-quality outdoor recreation opportunities by providing for safe and well-maintained facilities close to where people live and work.
We will explore ways to connect existing facilities for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles (e.g., bikes, in-line skates, horses, etc.) and to attend to segments of the population, which are under-served by existing facilities (e.g., seniors, young adults and changing ethnic majorities and recreational preferences, etc.).
page 13
Call to Action
Call to Action – Economic Standing
Outdoor Recreation is Top-Tier Georgia
Economic Driver
We will emphasize the powerful impact that outdoor recreation industries have on re-establishing Georgia's economic vitality through commerce and tourism. A new emphasis will be to explore opportunities, where appropriate, for outdoor recreation providers to get a larger part of their annual income from revenue generated on-site and to rely less on public funding (taxes).
We will continue to advance the positive economic value of outdoor recreation. In order to promote tourism, event planning and revenue generation, to invigorate local economies and to ensure that recreation services are more fiscally self-sustaining, we will encourage recreation providers to adopt business-like practices by seeking partnerships with:
Local businesses (e.g., concessionaires, vendors, outfitters, service providers, etc.)
Nonprofit organizations (e.g., Chambers of Commerce, Convention and Visitors' Bureaus, advocacy organizations, etc.
Government agencies (e.g., agencies for health, tourism, recreation, etc.)
Volunteer groups (e.g., Friends groups, Scouts, retirees, etc.)
Call to Action –
Protection of Natural Spaces
Georgia's Outdoor Recreation Inventory
Needs Assessment
Conservation of outdoor recreation lands remains an important priority in Georgia and we will always seek ways to protect natural, cultural and recreational areas of critical statewide or local significance. Over the next three years, we will focus our conservation efforts on cataloging and better understanding our outdoor recreation lands and prioritizing acquisitions.
We will identify & prioritize the condition of our outdoor recreation amenities statewide and focus LWCF support on taking care of current facilities/areas.
We will support recreational amenities that advance greater self-sufficiency.
We will identify and prioritize lands for acquisition and begin exploring collaborative and multijurisdictional projects in order to:
Coordinate land protection efforts for connectivity.
Capitalize on complementary strengths.
Ensure resource conservation and outdoor recreation opportunities.
We will continue to identify protection of wetlands as a priority, consistent with Section 303 of the Federal Emergency Wetlands Resources Act. The benefits provided by wetlands are well known, and include maintaining water quality, managing flooding and erosion events, providing habitat for wildlife and providing opportunities for outdoor recreation.

Don't we all wish we could snap our fingers and look 10 pounds thinner? Well, today we got our chance! Our stylist, Darcy Camden, and nutritionist, Deborah Enos, were on the show today with some tips that make us look lean and fit!
Diet Tips:
Flat Belly Tip #1: Beware of Carbonated Drinks.
The fizz in carbonated drinks (even diet ones) can cause gas to get trapped in your belly and intestines. Drink water with some citrus added, squeeze of lemon or lime.
PROP: bottle of soda
Flat Belly Tip #2 Skip the Gum.
Often, while chewing on a stick of gum, you can swallow quite a bit of air. Extra air in your intestines can cause bloating.
PROP: packs of gum
Flat Belly Tip #3: Put Down the Salt Shaker.
Excess sodium can cause water retention. The more processed the food the bigger the chance that the food will be high in sodium. Read your labels! Most physicians recommend that you limit your daily sodium consumption to 1,500 to 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Surprise: 1 tsp of salt is 2,300 mg of sodium.
PROP: Surprisingly salt food, salsa.
Flat Belly Tip #4: Go Easy with Beans and Gassy Vegetables (but only for short periods of time, because they are so good for you!)
If you're not used to eating beans, they can cause that gassy feeling-as can cruciferous family of vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower.
But don't give up on these super-nutritious, high-fiber vegetables! If you have to fit into your skinny jeans, fine, skip them for one day. But most physicians, nutritionists and other health care professionals will want you to include at least a couple of servings of these foods, daily.
PROP: Broccoli, Brussels sprouts and Cauliflower
Flat Belly Tip #5: Include a Few Anti-Bloating Foods and Drinks.
I did find a couple of articles and studies that suggest that some of the following foods may help to reduce bloating:
· peppermint tea
· ginger
· pineapple
· parsley
· yogurts (due to their good bacteria)
Skinny Jeans Anti-bloat Drink
- Cranberry juice: 1/2 cup
- lemon juice: (about ¼ of a lemon, or about a Tbs.)
- water: 1 cup
Fill up your Blender Bottle with about ½ cup of ice. Add all the ingredients, shake and enjoy!

Style tips:
Tip #1: Wear proper foundation. First things first, you have to have proper fitting foundation wear. The correct bra will not only help your clothes fit better, it will help improve your posture (standing up straight always makes you look taller and leaner). Slips, Spanx and shape wear can shrink you a full dress size and smooth out imperfections.
Tip #2: Wear a belt. It may seem counter-intuitive to add a belt if you're feeling bloated (do you really want to draw attention to your waist? The answer is Yes!). Adding a belt at your high waist (approx three fingers under your bust) will bisect you in the most flattering way, emphasizing the smallest part of your center and making your legs appear longer.
Tip #3: Wear color strategically. Remember a golden rule of style: color and pattern draw attention, while dark neutrals do not. If you want to camouflage your thighs and backside, wear black pants or a dark jean and draw attention up to your face with a bright top or necklace (conversely, if you want to de-emphasize your chest or belly, wear a black or dark navy top, with brightly colored pants or shoes).
Tip #4: Add a heel. Adding a 2-3" heel will instantly make you appear 10-15 pounds thinner by literally elevating your stature. If the thought of wearing a stiletto makes you cringe, look for a wedge heel to offer height with maximum comfort. BONUS: standing in a wedge heel also shifts your center of gravity, making it harder for you to slouch while you are standing up
