HEART

Neighbors, Heart failure is a condition that affects
millions of people around the world. Essentially, heart
failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough
blood to meet the body's needs. There are essentially
two types of heart failure. Diastolic heart failure occurs
when the heart muscle becomes thickened and stiff, often
from overwork from conditions like high blood pressure.
Systolic heart failure is when the heart muscle is weakened.
Heart damage after a heart attack is a common cause,
but also viruses or alcoholism, amongst numerous other
causes. Other risk factors include smoking, obesity, and a
family history of heart disease. As heart failure develops
symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling
in the legs and ankles.
When it comes to the heart, prevention of heart disease
is the best policy. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits,
vegetables, and whole grains, regular exercise, and avoiding
smoking can all help reduce the risk of heart failure, as well
as keeping high blood pressure and diabetes under control.
Thankfully, there is a variety of effective treatments
for heart failure, which often involve a combination of
lifestyle changes, medications, and, in some cases, surgery.
Managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, as
well as addressing obesity and tobacco is paramount for
optimal recovery.
Take heart, neighbors, that despite heart failure being
common, many of the risk factors within our control to
improve, and the medical understanding and treatment
options for heart failure today are in-depth and numerous.

-Henrilyn Cleland, Special Contributor
The Screven County Garden Club met on April 23,
2024, at Cail Community Center. The meeting was
called to order by Co-president Deanne Fitzner who
welcomed members and guests. The April hostess,
Annice Hogsette, had decorated beautifully with fresh
flowers on each table, and served a variety of delicious
cakes prior to the meeting.
The main event of the day was honoring Screven
County students who were winners in the National
Garden Club sponsored Youth Poetry and Sculpture
Contests. The Sculpture Contest is to encourage
our youth to keep the planet green and to protect the
environment. The sculpture is limited to a size that
fits onto an 8 1/2” X 11” sheet of paper.
Local 6th Grade sculpture entries won first, second
and third places in State and Deep South Region.
First Place winner was Sophie Graham, Second Place,
Jaylee Flanders; and Third Place, Keimara Wedlow.
Local 8th Grade Sculpture entries also took highest
honors. First place winner was Lilly McAfee, second
place Brianna Sweet, and third place Piper Black.
The Youth Poetry Contest required composition of
a poem titled “I Spy With My Little Eye, Something
Green Outside - Celebrating Our Green World.”
Paisley Lindsey took first place in the 3rd Grade
entries. In the 6th Grade category, Grade Johnson
won first place in the Deep South Region, and Parker
Sheppard placed second.
Joni Thompson, Oleander District Director,
presented the certificates and monetary awards. The
Deep South Region winners will automatically be
judged for National Garden Club competition this
summer. Ms. Thompson thanked the participants for
their excellent work and the teachers and parents for
their encouragement.
Following the business session, Ms. Hogsette led
the group in several games of gardening bingo, and
awarded prizes of potted calla lilies. The door prize
was won by Hilda Boykin.
The new slate of officers are enthusiastic about
projects and events being planned for the next two
years. These will be discussed at the May meeting
which will be a luncheon at noon on the regular
