A Word from Our Mayor

Spring has sprung and many of us are enjoying nature and the beauty of the great outdoors. Thanks to the hard work of the Montgomery Convention and Visitor Bureau, the Central Alabama Sports Commission, Montgomery's Department of Parks and Recreation and many other organizations, our city's calendar of special events stays full year-round. But in April, it seems things are being taken up a notch!

The Biscuits begin their pursuit of the team's third Southern League championship. And this year they promise to really "ham it up" as they start their second decade of baseball action. Collegiately, the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC) Baseball Championships will be contested here. SSAC student-athletes in golf and tennis will also be paying visits to the "Capital of Dreams" in search of victories. A man who knows all about college victories is making a visit at the end of the month. "An Evening with Nick Saban" is a fundraiser for the Cancer Wellness Foundation.

Youth sports will also take center stage in Montgomery in the coming weeks. High school tennis players, AAU basketball hoopsters and a huge soccer tournament will provide plenty of athletic action for us to view. For folks who enjoy individual sports the State Archery Competition and the Montgomery Black Rodeo will take place at the Multiplex and the Garrett Coliseum, respectively.

Old Alabama Town will be the setting for the annual Alabama Book Festival. Each year authors, storytellers and craftsmen team up for a day of family fun. Zoo Weekend and the Earth Day Safari are both taking place this month. Second Saturdays and cruises on the Harriott II are also excellent ways to enjoy the return of warmer weather. Fans of the dramatic arts will enjoy "Timon of Athens" at ASF, "The Importance of Being Earnest" at Faulkner and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof " at Theatre AUM.

The city is rolling out the welcome mat for many groups coming here for their conventions. AHSAA principals and athletic directors, a group from AEA, the Gerontological Society and the International Wild Pig Conference, just to name a few, will be here to enjoy Montgomery-style southern hospitality. We know they'll have a great time and be back to visit with us again soon. I hope you take every opportunity to take part in the fun too.

On The Cover

Lee & Lan Florist was founded in the early 1960’s and is in its original location. The building was originally designed for Earl James, who opened the first curbside dry cleaners in Montgomery. However, James was elected mayor in 1958 and Lee & Lan moved in soon after his election.

Lee & Lan was named for Lee and Lanier High Schools. They were the largest high schools in Montgomery at the time the business was opened. The shop has retained the original name and its ties to the community. Geoff Stough, the owner of Lee & Lan, states, “I enjoy speaking with customers who tell me when they first began using Lee & Lan and how they have continued to use the business for every important event in their lives.”

Geoff purchased the business from his cousin when she decided to retire in 2011, and is only the third owner of the shop. With the support of his wife, Toni, and a background in finance, Geoff purchased the business, with no knowledge of flowers. His very talented staff takes care of the orders and delivers incredible work.

Geoff and Toni have been married for 12 years and have four children. Not only has Toni been emotionally supportive, she has helped answer phones, arrange the shop, clean, or whatever needs doing at the time. Geoff says, “I know I would not be where I am without her love and support.”

Lee & Lan is a full service florist, specializing in weddings, parties, funerals as well as everyday flowers. Their slogan is “flowers for all occasions.” As the official florist for the Miss Alabama and Miss Alabama Teen USA pageants, they pride themselves on being able to say “yes,” regardless of how difficult or unusual the request. Lee & Lan has also carries a new line of specialty food baskets. Several are kept in stock such as the Traditional Specialty Food Basket, Baby Baskets, and a Southern Basket. Of course, customers can always customize a basket. Lee & Lan delivers to both military bases and offers a discount to all active and retired military.

Lee & Lan is proud to have placed as Best Florist in the Montgomery Advertiser Reader’s Choice Awards and are proud to be one of the top florists worldwide for TeleFlora.

The town of Montgomery was established on December 3, 1819, the same year Alabama became a state.

How was Montgomery founded? Who hasn’t driven the downtown streets and wondered why they are so oddly drawn? The best place to start is always at the beginning. Two men purchased land located in Montgomery County, which was organized out of the Mississippi Territory in 1816. The land auctions were held in Milledgeville, Georgia in 1817. One man was Andrew Dexter and the other was John Scott. Dexter founded “New Philadelphia” in the eastern section of the new county. Scott first founded “Alabama Town” on the bluff of the river in the western part of the same county, but moved the town closer to New Philadelphia, which included the river area, and renamed it “East Alabama.” There was a bitter rivalry between the two towns and the streets in each town were drawn so the towns would not touch.

Andrew Dexter believed his town would grow and profit from new settlers as they entered the area via

the Federal Road. John Scott believed his town would profit from river traffic. Unfortunately, both men were only somewhat correct and economics forced the two towns to join in 1819. The junction of Market Street (now Dexter Avenue) and Commerce Street was chosen to bring the two towns together and is known today as Court Square. It was the site of the first Court House, slave auctions, land auctions and other important events. The well at Court Square, which would later be known as “Big Basin,” was just a small spring in 1819 and not dug-out to its present size until many years later.

Once the two towns joined, the new town needed a name. A local businessman, Walter Lucas, who owned

Lucas’ Tavern on the Federal Road, offered the name of Montgomery after the Revolutionary hero, General Richard Montgomery. Montgomery County was named for Major Lemuel Purnell Montgomery who was killed at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814.

And what became of the city founders? Andrew Dexter was a prospector and always on the lookout for a new

or better business venture. He moved to Mobile, where he

died of Yellow Fever and was buried in an unmarked grave in that city. His wife and son are both buried in Oakwood Cemetery. John Scott outlived Andrew Dexter by two years and died at his plantation home outside the city of Montgomery with his grave being lost to history, although there is a head-stone with his name in the Scott burial plot in Oakwood Cemetery. It is ironic that neither of the city founders is buried in the city they helped found and lie in unmarked graves.

The city of Montgomery did benefit from the Federal Road as well as river traffic. Andrew Dexter and

John Scott both had a vision, which eventually propelled Montgomery to become one of the leading cities of the growing South as the country expanded westward.

There are two exciting new developments that have the potential to delay the onset and lessen the damage of macular degeneration.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that impairs central vision and is the leading cause of vision loss among people age 50 and older. In some people, AMD advances slowly, which is called dry AMD. Others have a faster progression known as wet AMD.

AMD is irreversible and has no cure. It does not manifest until we are older. It interferes with simple everyday activities such as the ability to see faces, drive, read, write, cook or fix things around the house. Due to the aging baby boomer population, it is estimated that the number of people with AMD will double by 2020. By age 65, as many as one in four will develop AMD. Some risk factors cannot be changed, but others can and should be modified.

Non-Modifiable Risk Factors:Age, Family History Light Skin and Eyes Female Gender

Modifiable Risk Factors:Smoking, Poor DietLow Macular Pigment Obesity

Since oxidation of the macula is the culprit for AMD, the first breakthrough in slowing this damage is through oral supplementation with three carotenoids, which are pigments that protect against oxidation.

This is found in a product called MacuHealth. The amount of macular pigment can now be measured by an instrument called a Macular Pigment Densitometer. Lower macular pigment correlates with progression of AMD.

The second breakthrough is a new spectacle lens that blocks ultraviolet and blue wavelengths. These medical glasses called BluTech are recommended for anyone wanting to increase their contrast sensitivity, and visual acuity, while decreasing their risk of developing AMD. They are available in an indoor and outdoor lens and protect the retina from damage of UV/blue light.

Both of these solutions are the sunscreen of the future. I am recommending you have annual eye health evaluations from an eye doctor that is serious about educating you on your current risk for developing AMD and providing treatment options that give you the best chance at quality vision for life. Primary Eyecare Associates is located at 8436 Vaughn Road. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 334-271-3900.

Dr. Fredrick Jackson received his undergraduate degree from Huntingdon College, and earned his Doctor of Optometry degree from the University of AL-Birmingham 1984. He has practiced in the Montgomery area for over 27 years and his areas of specialty includes treatment of dry eye syndrome and nutritional eye care, and management of refractive surgery patients.

IIt’s a good time to go to your dentist. Going to the dentist today is pretty awesome. Of course, I may be biased since I’m a dentist and I’m not in denial about how unpopular it is for people to go to their dentist appointment to get a cavity filled. We’re right there with taxes and ingrown toenails. But I’m tell-ing you that you’re the luckiest people in the history of humani-ty. When you are laid back in that dental chair with your dentist hovering way too close to your face with both hands and elbows in your mouth, you should look at him or her with heartfelt, teary eyed gratitude. You’ve got it made. I’ll tell you why.

In recorded history, people were treated for tooth pain as far back as 7000 B.C. They used a bowdrill. This was an ancient, primitive wooden tool where they used a bow and a stick with a drill bit made of green jasper. The string of the bow wrapped around the drill spindle and the operator would pump the bow back and forth so the string would spin the drill back and forth in order to make a hole. The tool was also used for woodwork-ing and starting fires. There was no anesthesia.

2000 years later, the Sumerians believed that all tooth ailments were caused by tooth worms which bored into the teeth and wiggled around inside of it causing pain. Some even believed they were demons from hell. They treated it by having people breathe in the smoke from burning beeswax and henbane seed and smoking out the little devils. Then if that didn’t work, they drilled into the tooth of the poor patient and physically pulled out the nerve of the tooth which they mistook for the worm. This theory stood for over 6000 years until the 1700s. There was no anesthesia.

In the middle ages, there was still no official dentists, but there were barbers. Barbers cut hair and extracted teeth. The used an absolutely terrifying looking tool called a dental pelican or a dental key which pulled the tooth out by forcing it sideways. Afterwards, the barbers would wash the blood stained towels and hang them outside to dry and they would spin in the breeze. This became the symbol for the barber and is still represented today by the spinning red striped cylinders outside of your local barbershop. There was no anesthesia.

It wasn’t until 1840 that the first dental college was opened in Baltimore. From there, dentistry continued to evolve and den-tal techniques and technology became what it is today. Dental anesthesia was discovered, then prevention with the advent of toothpaste in 1873 and the toothbrush in 1885. Today, the con-tinuing evolution of dentistry has us keeping our teeth longer and pain free. We can beautify, straighten, whiten, prevent and unstinkify. We can have dentistry performed comfortably and safely.

Dr. Frank K. Rho received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Loma Linda University in 1997. He has worked with numerous dentists and specialists and has lectured in communities on the subject of dental care throughout the United States. He is an active member of a number of organizations composed of dentists who keep abreast of the latest trends and techniques in dentistry. Dr. Rho practices general dentistry in Prattville, Alabama.

b y D r. F r a n k R h oDentaL appReciation 101In the last ten years, I’ve seen the technology of dentistry

make remarkable advances that will only accelerate in the years to come. A nasal spray that can replace injections for half of dental treatments is awaiting FDA approval. Dental lasers and digital dentistry is advancing by leaps and bounds. Today’s den-tistry has come a long way from wooden hand drills and evil tooth worms. So, my friends, in regards to your dental health and your beautiful smile, along with your dentist who cares for you, makes you the luckiest people in the history of humanity. You’ve got it made and it will only get better!

When you strive to commit to a healthier lifestyle, you must stay consistent with a routine. It gets tough, but the key to success is to continuously focus on your initial lifestyle goals.

We often start the journey, but then some interruption occurs. It could be as simple as having to pick the kids up from school at the time your regular workout is scheduled. And for some individuals, it only takes one day of derailment to initiate the spiral affect. You must put the last day behind you and get back on track immediately. You control the situations that come before you. So if you allow interruptions to continue to set you back from your journey, you'll forever complain about how tough it is for you to change your lifestyle.

Surround yourself with positive thinking people, even if that positivity isn't coming from inside your home. A support group is vital, but persistence is the key. Maintain focus and success will come!!! Corey & Donna Ellis

For all the perfectionists out there who suffer from “got to get it right” syndrome, listen closely. Sometimes, just enough is enough. Seriously, this is so true. You do not need to keep the cleanest home when you have two children running around. The meals you cook do not have to be gourmet all the time. Your cakes can burn a little on the edges. Your house does not have to be so tidy 24/7 that it appears as though the maids just left. Your clothes don’t have to be folded so neatly that it looks like you just bought them (especially your undies, nobody really cares about those). Your pantry does not need to stay so straightened that it looks like the aisles of a grocery store.

And in return for giving up a little order, you get a little extra time with your family to do things that really matter. Because, on your death bed, you will never look back and wish you had spent more time cleaning the bathroom. But you may wish you had spent more time in the company of family and friends. People who truly love you simply do not mind a little mess. They are missing you and your time while you are trying to be perfect. They are waiting for you to laugh a little more, smile a little more, sleep a little more. They would prefer you be a little more present and a little less perfect.

After one of the coldest and most brutal winters on record, things are thawing out in the Southeast and here in Montgomery we're getting ready for warm weather, baseball, and enjoying the beautiful downtown entertainment district!

It is simply amazing that since we arrived here in the Summer of 2006, Montgomery has gone thru such a major transformation that now includes the Alley Station Entertainment District, a world-class Renaissance convention center and hotel, The Montgomery Performing Arts Center and new developments on the horizon including luxury apartment and retail developments set to begin construction this Spring!

Besides watching Big Mo and the Biscuits in action on GameDay, one thing our family loves is BBQ! How can you be from the South and NOT love BBQ? That is the question! And when it comes to downtown, nobody does it like Dreamland BBQ! Ever since 1958 in Tuscaloosa, (coincidentally the first year Paul "Bear" Bryant starting coaching at Alabama) Dreamland has been a fan favorite for great ribs with that secret Dreamland BBQ sauce! JT loves the ribs and Brunswick Stew, not to mention the fact that they have so many great draft beers and craft brews on tap! Leanne is all about the pulled chicken sandwich and the girls of course have a special place in their heart for the banana pudding for dessert!

Bob Parker (pictured above) and the staff at Dreamland BBQ are featured regularly on our television show on WSFA12 News (River Region TV Show with JT & Leanne). We love highlighting local businesses that are doing it right with great customer service and community involvement. You won't have to travel too far to see Dreamland Catering at events all over town, they'll even come to YOUR next event as well! Stop by and see them at 101 Tallapoosa Street in downtown Montgomery across from Riverwalk Stadium, or call them at (334) 273-7427.

After teasing us with a couple of exposition games like the Capital City Classic and Rays at Riverwalk in March, the Biscuits are officially opening their regular season here in April - get a look at the schedule online at BiscuitsBaseball.com - we'll see you downtown this Spring! Come support all the great entertainment and restaurant venues and show YOUR Montgomery Pride!

The rev. dr. a.w. watkins charity golf Tournament:

providing Scolarships for Seniors in central alabama

The Rev. Dr. A.W. Watkins Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization established in December 2003. The mission of the foundation is to provide financial assistance to graduating high school seniors living in Central Alabama. The foundation also provides financial assistance to juniors and seniors enrolled in the Bible and Pastoral Ministry at Selma University in Selma, Alabama.

Since the initial awards in 2005, the Foundation has awarded 57 scholarships totaling over $57,300. The foundation relies upon fundraisers and donations throughout the year to provide the much needed financial assistance to deserving students. The biggest fundraiser is the annual golf tournament held in May of each year.

The foundation is named in honor of Rev. Dr. A. W. Watkins, Jr., who was a pastor in Montgomery, Alabama for over 45 years until his death in November 2003. He was pastor of three churches simultaneously, Mobile Heights Baptist (45 years), Daniel Baptist (26 years) and Helion Missionary Baptist (36 years). Even though he didn't graduate from college, in 1987 he was presented with an honorary degree for his faithful service as a board member by Selma University. Reverend Watkins was a strong advocate for higher education and he emphasized that throughout his ministry.

WMy excitement is hard to conceal! I can hardly contain it! Do you know why? Because I have to wait a little

longer to celebrate one of my favorite days of the year: Easter Sunday. Don’t get me wrong, now. I enjoy Christmas,

Thanksgiving, Independence Day and other holidays. But for me, Resurrection Sunday is the most special because

of what it represents.

Easter Sunday reminds me of the tremendous sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary. It reminds me that He

didn’t have to lay His life down for me, but He did it anyway. It reminds me that God didn’t have to give “His only

begotten Son” so that I could enjoy life on earth and anticipate with wonderful hope spending eternity in Heaven,

but He did it anyway. Easter reminds me that before I even knew Him, before my soul was even reconciled to this

human shell, God was thinking about me and planning a way for me to be redeemed.

Most of all, Easter Sunday makes me so happy because it’s all about RESURRECTION. It is about new life,

having another chance to get it right, to start over fresh, to begin again. The pattern God established by raising His

Son from the dead is one He intends for us to apply to every area of our lives here on earth. When life threatens to

overtake us and put us in a tomb of negativism, fear, doubt, anger and other destructive emotions, we must look

to Our Savior for an example. When the cares, worries, troubles and conflicts of everyday life try to put us in a

chokehold, Jesus’ empty tomb is all the proof we need that God has the power to break any and every hold life can

present. Are you beginning to understand why I love Easter Sunday so much?

My friends, I pray that while you are reading this article, God’s precious Holy Spirit will whisper in your ear

that He’s ready to help you find the new life, new joy, new opportunity for which you have longed. I believe that

in this Easter month, there will be an unprecedented release of fresh, fulfilling and freeing newness in your life. It

might be something as simple as a new material item - that thing you’ve denied yourself because you thought you

didn’t deserve it. It might be a more significant manifestation - perhaps it’s time to buy the new house and make it a

home.

Or perhaps you are ready to make the most important decision you could ever make - to begin a new life by

starting a NEW relationship with the one who made it all possible. Now that, brothers and sisters, is a real reason

to celebrate!

live Pain Free! Improve Strength and Balance!The Miracle Band has been proven to improve your strength and balance RIGHT when you put it on. The process begins with a base metal (gold, silver, brass, copper). The metal is first polarized and then electronically charged at the same frequency your body naturally has. When the processed metal comes into contact with your body, your atoms INSTANTLY mimic the atoms in the metal and all resonate in the same direction. This results in all your atoms rotating together instantly, and with your entire body working together you achieve a significant improvement in balance and increase in strength from head to toe! Daily functions such as getting up out of your chair, walking, lifting, ANYTHING requiring strength and balance becomes easier.

Jeff Nursey, Montgomery, ALOn October 9, 2007 I was hit by a pickup truck while riding my bicycle. My extreme injuries included a shattered left tibia, 5 broken ribs, a broken pelvis and a punctured leg. Even after a year, the pain in my leg was so severe I was barely able to walk. In October of 2009, I even consulted a doctor about amputation. That Christmas, a friend gave me the New You Miracle Band. After two days, the results were unbelievable! It has been almost a year since I have taken any pain medications and I highly recommend this product to anyone suffering from pain. To me, the Miracle Band is worth a billion dollars and is the best Christmas present I have ever received.

Glenda Deramus, Montgomery, ALEvery morning the arthritis in my hands was so bad, I had to run hot water over them just to loosen my fingers. After I saw the results that Jeff Nursey had with the Miracle Band, I tried it and the pain of my arthritis is completely gone. Now we have to go tell the world. The Miracle Band is a true miracle!

If you own a dog in the south, chances are certain that at some point you will be faced with treating otitis externa, an infection of the external ear canal. Generally speaking, ear infections are fairly common in dogs, with 15-20 percent experiencing at least one infection in their lives (although this is the national average, in the south, this percentage is higher).

Fortunately for cats, ear infections occur less frequently, only about 6-7 percent. With lucky pet owners, this ear infection will be a “one time” occurrence. However, in the south, about 60 percent of the ear infection cases end up being chronic. Often times, the chronic ear infection is due to allergies, causing repeated ear infections, and then these infections actually lead to a narrowing of the ear canal, which predisposes those pets to further infection.

Making the matter even more frustrating, is that ear infections often occur alongside, or are secondary to other, primary factors which can include: allergies, foreign bodies (excessive hair, wax buildup, water), and hypothyroidism. Otitis externa is a vicious cycle that can be frustrating, time consuming, and expensive for the pet owner, not to mention miserable for the animal.

Dr. King is a 2005 graduate of the Auburn School of Veterinary Medicine. He is a current member of the American Animal Hospital Association, Alabama Veterinary Medical Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association.

by Dr. Zeb A. King, DVM

So what’s an owner to do? First make sure you understand the signs and symptoms of an ear infection. Dogs or cats may paw or scratch constantly at the affected ear and shake their heads. Often, owners notice a foul smell or a discharge coming from the ear. When these symptoms occur, it’s time to visit your veterinarian. Self-diagnosing or using Dr. Google and Nurse Yahoo can make matters worse. Remember, the infection could be secondary to an allergic reaction, hypothyroidism, bacteria, yeast, and/or a combination of these. Each presents symptoms that are similar and a proper diagnosis is critical before a treatment option begins.

TreatmentsThe treatment for your pet’s ear infection will depend ENTIRELY on the underlying cause.

Once the diagnosis has been made, usually a topical ear drop or ointment is sent home for owners to administer. Commonly steroids are used to combat inflammation and/or antibiotics are prescribed if a severe bacterial infection is diagnosed. It is imperative that pet owners follow their veterinarian’s instructions completely when treating their pet’s infection. A poor outcome is certain if medications are not given as directed.

PrognosisThe prognosis for your pet’s ear infection varies. If caught early, and you are persistent with treatment protocols, most ear infections can be managed. Chronic cases will require more patience and diligent treatments. Fortunately, noticeable improvement has been seen with newer medications that are available especially if the underlying cause of the infection is allergy related.

The best advice I give pet owners is be proactive at the first sign your pet is having problems. Leaving an ear infection to get “better on it’s own” will most definitely mean a more expensive and prolonged treatment regiment.

7 Common Driving DistraCtionsby Henry Hernandez, State Farm™ Insurance Agent

Henry Hernandez State Farm AgencyFind us on Facebook and let us know what other topics Henry can help you with!

1. GROOMING Pressed for time, some people conduct grooming activities in the car, such as putting on makeup or using an electric shaver. Do yourself and other drivers a favor by completing your morning routine at home.

2. EATING AND DRINkING: Your steaming cup of coffee spills or ingredients slip out of your sandwich — any number of distractions can arise when you drive and dine. Stay safer by saving the refreshments until you’re parked.

3. MONITORING PASSENGERS: In a recent State Farm® Distracted Driving survey, 40 percent of drivers indicated that attending to children in the backseat was very distracting, while 53 percent of drivers said the same thing about having a pet in their lap while driving. Passenger distractions are particularly important for teen drivers to avoid: The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm teamed up to analyze a sample of 677 teen drivers involved in serious crashes. The study found that drivers who had peer passengers were more likely to be distracted before a crash as compared to teens involved in accidents while driving solo.

4. RUBBERNECkING: Slowing down to look at a traffic accident could cause an accident of your own. The same thing goes for lengthy looks at billboards, a street address or a great mountain view.

5. LISTENING TO MUSIC: Playing your radio at a high volume, wearing headphones or even catching a glimpse of your kids’ DVD take your focus away from the road. These distractions reduce the likelihood you’ll hear car horns, emergency vehicles or other key noises.

6. DAYDREAMING: If you’ve ever realized you just missed an exit because you weren’t paying attention, you’ve experienced a common distraction: daydreaming. Resist the urge to drift off while driving, and keep your attention on the road. Vary your typical driving routes. A change in scenery and traffic conditions could help you stay alert.

7. NODDING OFF: According to the National Sleep Foundation, an estimated 60 percent of Americans have admitted to driving while drowsy, and 37 percent have nodded off behind the wheel. If you feel sleepy, pull over. Walk around to rouse yourself, switch drivers or find a safe place to nap before you resume driving.

Learn more about driver distractions from State Farm®.

T he Centers for Disease Control estimates that each day in the United States more than nine people are killed in crashes involving a distracted driver. Texting while

driving is one of the most dangerous driver distractions, but it ’s not the only one. Here are seven other unsafe habits to avoid:

Bring in old family heirlooms and let Cronier’s Fine Jewelry redesign them to fit your style!

They can take diamonds or other stones out of jewelry you already own or inherited to make a new unique piece. Cronier’s will also buy any unwanted gold jewelry you have.

Cronier’s starts the design process with a sketch of your desired jewelry piece. The sketch is then is mapped as a blueprint on Cadcam (computer aided design). A woman came in with her mother’s wedding set and she wanted it remade into something new. With this technology, Cronier’s made a prototype on the computer for the client to see. Then a wax prototype that the client could actually try on was sent to Cronier’s Fine Jewelry to see if it was what she wanted!

Cronier’s Fine Jewelry offers even more unique services! They can start off the creation process with not only an heirloom or an old piece of jewelry, but by combining in house jewelry pieces or taking inspiration from a photo.

Cronier’s uses the “Ready to Wear” jewelry and creates a bridge to enable their customers to tweak and compile designs, effectively turning the buyer into the creator or artist.

Cronier’s Jewelry gives the average person, such as a college student with a budget of $1,500, access to design a unique piece without the design learning curve and without an additional hourly rate. They want to help customers make each piece of jewelry more special by providing an exceptional experience.

The custom design department even has the ability to take a $20,000 dream ring and create a $4,000 version that everybody will love!

Cronier’s Fine Jewelry is located at 2307 Eastern Boulevard and is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-6pm. You can also reach them by phone at 334-272-4995 or visit their Facebook page or website: www.croniers.com.

Spotlight On . . . The Chefs of

kit started his culinary journey at H. Councill Trenholm State Technical College. From there, he went straight to work at The Vintage Year Restaurant

became available at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in downtown Montgomery. He jumped at the challenge to learn another aspect of the culinary world. kit joined the Doubletree family 6 months before the doors opened, to gain even more knowledge in the culinary field.

When it was time to start working for Doubletree, kit used his cumulative culinary and managerial knowledge to help with everything to make One2Zero the restaurant it is today! Now that the hotel is open, the responsibilities are demanding but exciting.

What does this culinary genius enjoy doing outside of work? He loves going to concerts and discovering new music. He also likes to spend relaxing time at Lake Martin with his family, playing with his two wild and crazy dogs, and spending as much time as he can with his incredible wife and beautiful daughter who keeps him laughing all the time!

Sous Chef Bobby Harper

Executive Chef Kit D. Tatumin Old Cloverdale. His time there was just the start of a great learning process. Soon, he was promoted to manager.

He later moved to Orlando, Florida and took a kitchen position at Hue Restaurant in Downtown Orlando. There, he started off as a chef and quickly moved up to assistant manager. After several years he moved back home to help start a new restaurant, Garrett’s Restaurant as a manager.

Half a decade later, he became executive chef for Auburn University Montgomery. Feeding over 1500 patrons daily was great in itself, but on top of that, catering came into play. In this position, he was in charge of managing the staff, menu development, inventory, production counts, waste counts, product ordering and receiving, and P-n-L statements. The demand for quality and quantity were the same, as well as managing a budget. After two years, the executive chef position

Bobby, a native of New Orleans, hails from a family of chefs. He grew up working with his family, who owned Danny’s Seafood and were best-known for their 5 star comfort food! He learned many lessons from his grandparents, but it was his grandmother that taught him one of his best lessons in food. “Always make sure you put love into your food!”

Bobby brings his multicultural flair with a touch of Creole and Caribbean ingredients to many dishes. He loves cooking with a multitude of ingredients and enjoys recipes that use alcohol and liqueurs in them. He has over 182 recipes in his repertoire that include alcohol.

Bobby‘s nickname, “The Beast”, was given to him because of his wild and aggressive style in the kitchen. He is always on the search for new and exciting ways to be creative. Coming up

with off-the-wall recipes or just putting a twist on an old favorite keeps him ahead of most other chefs. One of the quotes the guests will hear him saying is “Freshest is the Bestest,” as he uses only fresh ingredients.

When he first moved to Montgomery, he was an Executive Chef of The American Pie at the Ramada Inn before he started a 10-year career as a Sous Chef and Banquet Chef at the Embassy Suites downtown. When he heard of the DoubleTree by Hilton opening, he decided to make the move to a different hotel to gain more experience.

In his spare time, Bobby likes to spend as much time as he can with his two beautiful twin daughters that are 5 years old and his 13-year-old son. He also coaches little league football and is active in the community by helping the less fortunate and volunteering with different projects.

Worth A Look

by Rebekah Edwards LUSH Makeup Art

Here are some beauty tips and advice to keep

brides looking your best. First and foremost, go

ahead and begin a proper skin routine. Monthly

facials with an Esthetician work wonders to keep

your skin healthy. (My go-to girl is kelly Hoots at

Doug's 2 Salon-Spa!)

Estheticians can also get you on the right skin

regimen. Secondly, go ahead and get on the right

track with matching your makeup look to your

style of wedding. For example, dramatic makeup

styles likes smokey eyes and deep lips may not go

well with a outdoor garden-themed wedding. You

don't want your look to be overbearing, drowning

out your other details such as your dress and hair.

This is why trial runs are a great idea.

Also, don't book your trial run on the same day

as your bridal portraits. Sometimes trial runs can

take a few hours due to trying one makeup look,

removing it and starting over with a new idea.

Last, but certainly not least, pamper yourself! It is

your big day. Enjoy it! It's all about YOU! Book a

spa day a few weeks prior to your wedding to be

relaxed and rejuvenated.

Wedding Season!

Spring is here, which means one thing...
