March to help veterans SPECIAL TO THE COURIER editor@coastalcourier.com 912-876-0156, ext. 1023 Team Savannah for Vet erans had a fundraising ruck march in Hinesville Saturday. Leaving Bryant Commons about 10 a.m. members walked approximately seven miles, to near Fort Stewart’s Gate 1 and then back to the park. “We aim to improve the overall wellness of local veterans through actively helping veterans obtain re sources for any stressful life event they may encounter,” a statement from the group said. “We mainly focus on building relationships with veterans, reducing the stigma of mental health issues (spe cifically PTSD), and increas ing community awareness of suicide within military pop ulations.” The group is planning three more marches this year. They call them rucks for the basic training exercise that has recruits carry their gear. Marchers are not required to carry packs, but anyone is welcome to do so and walk ers are asked to carry what they’ll want along the way. The group is also recruit ing more volunteers and do nations.

Shots will be given to people 3 and older on a first come ba sis while supplies last. Flu is widespread through out Georgia and more than 300 people have been hospitalized with flu-related illness across the state. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven tion, flu season peaks Decem ber-February, but can last into spring. “This has been an extremely rough flu season and the en tire country has been hit hard,” Coastal Health District Health Director Lawton Davis, MD, said. “It’s not too late to get vaccinated against the flu and we want to encourage those who have not been vaccinated to take advantage of this op portunity.” Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, head ache, chills, fatigue, and some time diarrhea or vomiting. There are other things we can all do to prevent getting or spreading the flu: • Avoid close contact with sick people. • If you get sick with flu-like illness, stay home for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. The fever should be gone without the use of fever-reduc ing medications. • While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them. • Try to cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow and not your hand, or cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash. • Wash your hands with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way. • Clean and disinfect sur faces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu. For more information on the flu and vaccine, go to cdc. gov/flu. Engagement changes everything AspenDental / simply easier POET from 7 but overhear your discussion. You know that I’m his nephew, right?” Cool as cucumber, Poet drawled beauti fully, “Yes, indeed, I am well aware of that. And a fine man he is. We’re all the better for him having served so honorably. Please, relay my kindest regards to him. And tell him my contribution is in the mail.” As he walked away, Poet’s eyes wid ened. “Did I say anything that would have sounded disparaging to such a fine man and humble civil servant?” I nearly went under the table, laughing. Another time, he showed up at a confer ence I was attending that was being held in a hotel/casino. He wanted to play blackjack so I followed him to the table and watched in admiration as he coolly, assuredly played the game. I have no card sense. I don’t un derstand cards so I can’t play them though he tried to explain. After a while, he laid his hand on the table and, with nonchalant panache, instructed the dealer, “Color me out.” “Color me out? What does that mean?” I asked as we left the casino. “Just another way of saying ‘deal me out.’” See, Poet has a way with words that makes him memorable. Because of his answer-to-no-one style and penchant for living life on his own terms, I have considered him to be one of the South’s greatest characters in modern times and he has given me lots of material. And then, without a word to anyone, he up and married. Tink laughed as he watched the conversation between Poet and me for I was taken aback. It felt like my favorite character in my favorite book had been killed off. He’d never have that same devil-may-care attitude again. “Be happy for him,” Tink said. “The Tarleton twins have died,” I re sponded glumly. “Who?” “Gone With The Wind. Killed in battle. Characters I loved.” Tink rolled his eyes and Poet laughed. I slumped lower in my chair. “Now, he’s just like the rest of us. He’s ordinary. He used to be exciting.” So, I’m in mourning.
