LOCAL DEPUTY SAVES COUPLE Kudos to Columbia County deputy Chris Adkins! Recently Chris received a dispatch that a resident called in saying, he could hear someone behind his house calling for help. Due to Chris’ ingenuity and former experience with the DNR, he realized that the home backed up to the river. Chris wondered if someone was possibly stranded on the river. Chris realized they were probably going to need a boat, so he called DNR to come out. Isaiah and Shaquinna

WATER & WOODS (CONTINUED) has completely changed our lives. It’s been an amazing place for our kids to grow up. They’ve been able to focus on a sport that they love, while being surrounded by a supportive community that extends throughout the southeast. There’s a lot of comradery on the water. They want to mentor each other and help each other – it’s not something you typically see with other youth sports.” With the desire to share the passion of sailing with the community, the Augusta Sailing Club hosts groups such as Camp Ivy and Camp Joint Venture for a day on the water. Kim says, “We teach them water safety and take them sailing.” On May 8th, the Augusta Sailing Club will host its annual Open House. The public is invited to join club members for a day of sailing, fun activities, and touring the club’s property. Although RSVP’s are not required, they are helpful for planning. For more information on the Augusta Sailing Club, or to register for their Open House or upcoming summer camps, visit augustasailingclub.com or email events@augustasailingclub.com.

All About Trucks And Autos is a locally owned vehicle accessories shop. “Whatever you need, we have it.

Benefits of a

chemical-free home

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO TURN YOUR HOUSEHOLD CHEMICAL-FREE? It's not as hard as you might think! We hear a lot about the dangers of chemical ingredients, but it's easy to ignore all of the warnings and keep using our favorite products. When you don't know of a better alternative, it's just what you do! However, all of those ingredients add up and can make a big difference in your health, as well as the health of your family and pets. The products that are most important to swap out depend on your lifestyle and what you use the most. If your little ones are eating food right off of the counter, you might consider the ingredients from the cleaner you just used to wipe it down and start by switching to a natural method.

If you have sensitive skin, you might start by taking inventory of your beauty and personal care products to see what you can replace. To get you started, here is a DIY product that you can make yourself for your chemical-free home.

DIY Laundry Scent Enhancer If you have ever added those popular scent beads to your load of laundry before, you know how lovely it is to pull your amazingly scented clothes out of the dryer. The funny thing about a product like that is it truly has no purpose other than adding a good smell, but it does add lots of chemicals to your daily life! There's a safer and more beneficial way to make your clothes smell heavenly. Try this DIY scent enhancer with your next load of laundry and put it to the test.

Ingredients 3 parts Epsom Salt + 1 part Baking Soda + Essential Oils

Directions Mix your ingredients together in a jar or canister and scoop about ¼ cup directly into the washer basin before adding the clothes—just like you would with scented beads. Continue with your laundry like normal.

If you get overwhelmed, remember that you don't have to get rid of all chemicals in one day. Every swap you make is something to celebrate!
