Sharptop's birdhouse auction this Saturday
Submitted by Sharptop Arts Association This year Sharptop Arts Association is proud to announce our 3rd Annual Feathered Event to be held on May 19 at our own Sharptop Arts Center on D.B. Carroll Street behind the Old Jail. Come by the Center this month on Thursdays and Fridays from noon-4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. to view the 60 innovative and original creations that were donated to SAA by local artisans for this event. Many of the birdhouses are functional garden art that will serve well as a focal point in your yard and other works of art can be beautifully displayed indoors or on a covered patio. This year’s birdhouse entries include “The Old Jail Birdhouse” and “The Woodbridge Birdhouse” (functional birdhouses that duplicate those landmarks in downtown Jasper) by local artist Dee Anne Boggus. The $10 ticket cost covers entry to the event, a meal, entertainment and an art raffle, providing a fun evening for very little money spent.
The art and strategy of Magic Friedman, whose computer store is located beside Quiznos on West Church Street, hosts game nights at his shop on Friday nights for both newbies to the game of Magic and for avid, long-time players. Each game of Magic, according to Wikipedia, represents a battle between mighty wizards, known as planeswalkers, who employ the magical spells, items and fantastic creatures depicted on individual Magic cards to defeat their opponents.

Rabies clinic offered at Farmer's Market
Pictured, Dr. Chester administers a heartworm test at Saturday’s vaccination clinic. Saturday, Dr. Craig Chester and his wife/Office Manager Charmet enjoyed a successful start to the second Farmers Market Vaccination clinic as they welcomed owner after owner looking to have their pets vaccinated. As the months begin to grow warmer, it becomes even more important to vaccinate your pets, as it is more likely families and their pets will enjoy more time outdoors.
13-year-old begins battle with bone cancer“When the doctor came in and said, ‘Mrs. Anderson, Jade has got cancer and she could die,’ that was like, I mean, I just about hit the floor,” mother says.
“JMS loves Jado” — Students and staff at Jasper Middle School rally behind Jade Anderson, a student recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Mid afternoon last Monday, 13-year-old Jade Anderson, known as “Jado” by her friends and family, was tucked under the covers at her Jasper home watching television. While the rest of her friends were at school that day, she had spent the afternoon getting blood tests at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta clinic in Kennesaw. That’s because three weeks ago, the very first day of her spring break this April, Jade was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a malignant bone tumor that typically develops near the knee or shoulder during the rapid stage of growth in adolescents.

Whether just for fun or serious competition, Aury Friedman of The Fastest Dog believes the complex world of Magic can foster new levels of critical thinking and strategizing among the games’ players while they cast spells and launch attacks and counter-attacks with their creatures of fantasy.
