Rhythm on the river
Maybe you folks in Brunswick have
lots of stuff to do on a Saturday night.
Or maybe you just don't know what
you're missing.
But, I was surprised Saturday night
when only 125 to 150 people showed
up for the Downtown Development
Authority's 'Rhythm on the River' in
Mary Ross Park.
It was my first time attending and
rest assured I'll be back.
Driving over, we were thinking, "It's
going to be hot." "And the sun is going
to be in our eyes." "Maybe we'll leave
early."
Not so.
There was a nice late afternoon
cloud cover and a breeze off the river
that kept the temperature cool and the
sand gnats away making for a very
enjoyable evening.
Although I thought the crowd was
small, I had expected at least twice the
people that were there, I saw a lot of
people I know. And I'm an island guy!
The band was a local bluegrass out
fit called The O'Reallys. I don't know
much about them other than the band
was formed by singer Sarah Holloway
and guitarist Paul Mozo.
Saturday night they were joined by
an acoustic bass player and a mandolin
player, whose names I unfortunately
did not get.
According to their myspace page,
their influences include Bill Monroe,
Tony Rice, Tim O'Brien, Larry Keel,
Doc Watson, Django, the Dillards,
Peter Rowan, Bob Dylan, Mother May-
belle Carter, Keith McCullough, bass
players and Billie Holliday.
I admit I was surprised to find a
local bluegrass band as talented as
The O'Reallys, particularly on man
dolin and upright bass - two difficult
instruments to master - but they were
excellent.
Folks brought their lawn chairs,
picnic baskets, ice chests, set up little
tables and spread out their food and
offered it to the people sitting next
to them. (I had some painfully fresh,
boiled wild Georgia shrimp that was
finger lickin' good.)
All in all it made for a wonderful,
relaxing evening - at an event to which
I could wear shorts - of music, friends,
food and, well, a cold beer or two.
A word of thanks and an Attaboy!
to Mathew Hill, Emmit Nolan, James
Vivenzio and Peggy Parrish of the
Downtown Development Authority for
their hard work putting on a great
event.
I think what it is is that you folks
in Brunswick don't know what you're
missing.
You really need to come out to these
events - there's two left this year, Sep
tember 18 and October 16 - or else they
will go away.
People complain about not having
anything to do, well here you go, but
you have go to get out and support
these things. □

City spending
Continued from Page 6
Dean and Slade were also concerned
about the city spending $10,000 on
Fourth of July fireworks in the current
economy when revenue is down.
Slade said they could still have a
July Fourth celebration and do other
things without fireworks.
Dean said, "You're spending the
money on fireworks because it's a tra
dition. Well how about the fact that
you're furloughing your employees two
days a month? Don't they traditionally
work five days a week?"
Later, during the regular meet
ing, the commission voted to approve
spending $10,600 on fireworks for the
city's 4th of July celebration. “I
CVIG study approved
Continued from Page 5
Thompson said that, according to
conversations he had with CVIG offi
cials, the cost of Phase 2 would be
about $20,000 based on communities
of a similar size as Brunswick.
This could bring the total spent to
between $30,000 and $35,000.
Commissioners Cornell Harvey
and Jonathan Williams both agreed
that the city needed the study.
Harvey said, “We need some help
to get this city running efficiently.”
Williams said, “When the recom
mendations come in, we need to look
at them very closely and implement
them.” □

"Since I
Dr. Carlyle,
have been seeing
I enjoy much more
flexibility and my
quality of life has
improved."
"I walk five
miles a day, six
days a week.
When my hip
gets sore from the
walking, I go see
Dr. Carlyle."
"I have had two
surgeries on my left knee so I
am off balance somewhat when
I walk."
"Dr. Carlyle's adjustments
to my back and hip and the
orthotics he has provided allow
me to walk pain
free."
"The orthotics,
which I have
been wearing for
almost two years,
help with my
balance and the
adjustments help
with any pain
and flexibility."
"I had by pass
surgery in 2008
and was placed on
the statin drugs.
I had a reaction
to the drugs and
Dr. Carlyle recommended
Innate Choice omega 3."
"I have been off the
statin drugs since and
my cholesterol is near
normal."
"I am so happy that
there is something other
than drugs to keep my
heart healthy."
"I highly recommend a
visit to Dr. Carlyle for a
free consultation to see if
he can help with health
problems."
