Hafley Honored By Local DAR By PAULINE LEWIS Staff Writer Bill Hafley, in charge of recycling for the City of Perry, was honored by the General Daniel Stewart Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. Hafley was presented the American Good Citizen Award at the chapter’s annual American History Month luncheon meeting at The New Perry Hotel, to which his wife, the neighboring chapters and individual guests were invited. Hafley, in thanking the chapter for this honor, said, “I am blessed to live in Perry. I’m from Chicago; my wife, Betty and I came to Perry, then lived in Virginia for 15 years and came back to Perry in 1977.” The Hafleys have three children. He refers to Betty as his “helper”.

Senate Bill 674 provides for a mandatory, on-the-spot, six month driver's license suspension for a motorist under the age of 21 who registers a blood alcohol level of .02. Sponsors say the bill is critical to reducing DUI-related deaths and injuries among teenagers. The legislation would not affect the .08 blood alcohol level required to file charges against an adult, but would allow authorities to seize the license of a driver under 21 regardless of how much he or she had to drink. "A six-month driver's license suspension for someone who is under 21 sends a pretty good message," said Senator Sonny Perdue of Bonaire, the bill’s chief Agricenter schedule Feb. 23-March 5: Georgia National Stock Show: Daily 8 a.m. Free admission to the general public.

Reactions to adjustments can differ How should I feel after an adjustment? That's a question first-time patients often ask me. My answer is, "that depends." First I explain that a chiropractic spinal adjustment is a powerful procedure: literally hundreds of bodily functions and activities are affected. So different people feel differently. Here are a few common reactions: •Peace and relaxation. This feeling may last for the rest of the day or the week. It may lead to a deep and refreshing sleep. •Warmth. Other people may feel a warm, soothing sensation flowing to various parts of their body. •Energy. Some of my patients have felt very energetic and go through the day's activities with a light, happy feeling. Nerves sending impulses or life energy through the body may give you this euphoric feeling. It may also occur as you experience a sudden release from long-standing stress fixations in your body. •Feel better. Others find that their symptoms begin to lessen after the first visit. Children usually have particularly fast responses to chiropractic adjustments. •No change. But some people feel no different after their adjustment than before. That doesn't mean they aren't receiving any benefits, however. They’re just not feeling any external reaction. Local PD To Host Cookout On Saturday, March 12, beginning at 12 noon, Perry D.A.R.E.

Prolonged bad health will take longer to normalize. •Slight discomfort. Headaches, sniffles, slight fever or drowsiness may be due to detoxification after an adjustment Be sure to drink plenty of water during this time to help your body rid itself of these toxins. And rest if you need to. Sometimes pain is caused by nerves that were impinged for years are coming back to life. As the flow of nerve impulses over the spinal cord and nerves is normalized, the body begins to renew and rebuild itself.
