Valentine’s Day is coming! Don’t wait till the last minute to order your flowers, make your dinner reservations, or make your Valentine menu. Valentine’s Day is a special day to let the ones you love know how special they are to you and to let friends know how much they mean to you. Maybe do something for someone who is all alone to make them feel special.

Rick proposed to me on Valentine’s Day. I was so surprised. We have a very special relationship. It’s wonderful to be married to your best friend. We worked together for six years, and then we opened the Flower Gazebo and worked there together for years. We always enjoyed each other’s company, as well as working together. Then one day something knocked us in the head, and we realized we loved each other. We are blessed to have fallen in love with our best friend. We’ve been happily married for 21 years and still work together and are best friends. Valentine’s Day is generally one of the busiest days at the Flower Shop, so we either make reservations early or make a sweetheart meal. Try this one.

BBQ potato chips are real good instead of regular potato chips. Omit paprika if using BBQ potato chips.

You can make this casserole and the chocolate mousse the day before. While the casserole bakes, make the green salad, slice strawberries long ways so it looks like a heart, and scatter on top of salad greens with nuts and blue cheese crumbs if you like. Drizzle with homemade or bottled balsamic vinaigrette. Hope your family or your sweetheart enjoys.

Albany, GA — As part of their annual fundraising campaign, Theatre Albany will celebrate Valentine’s Day with dinner and performance of “Love Letters” by A. R. Gurney, Tuesday, February 14.

What can be more romantic than a love letter? “Love Letters” is comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. As the actors read the letters aloud, what is created is an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling pair of character studies in which what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written. Robby and Dotty Davis will perform this truly unique and special evening of theatre.

The performance and dinner will be held at Theatre Albany. The cost is $35/person and $65/couple. Reservations are required and must be received by Wednesday, February 8, 2012. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. with curtain at 8:30 p.m. Also during the event will be a drawing for a chance to win a prize of a romantic stay for two at the romantic Henderson Park Inn on the beach in Destin, Florida. Raffle chances are $5.00 and winners need not be present to win. For more information and reservations, call Theatre Albany at 439-7193.

Written by Walter L. Johnson II

You’ve heard of “dinner and a movie.”  What about “dinner and a play?”

That’s what Darton College will provide on Feb. 10 and 11, when the Darton Players present the Boardwalk Melody Hour Murders dinner theatre on the second floor of the Student Center.

Deborah Liss-Green, who serves as Darton’s theatre instructor, says a dinner theatre is meant to be interactive, as well as entertaining.

“The audience, and they become sort of, as they were the extras on a movie set, they become a part of the scene,” Liss-Green said. “The play takes place in a banquet hall that’s upstairs in the Student Center.

“The action will take place on the stage in the middle of all of the tables, as well as in and around the tables where the audience is seated,” Liss-Green added.

Attendees will not only get a good meal, but also good entertainment, explained Liss-Green.

“There will be scenes with about 15-20 minutes long that come in between the different meal breaks.  So, you get dinner, and you get a show.”

Lot a tension, and fun

     Unlike many dramatic-based murder mysteries, the Boardwalk Melody Hour Murders is a comic-based murder mystery, which is set in 1932 Atlantic City, N.J.  During the showings on both nights, there will be at least one kidnapping, as well as one murder.

Despite some tense moments, though, Liss-Green says there’s an element of fun added to the production.

“There is some tension in the play,” said Liss-Green. “Murders happen right in front of you, and kind of scary moments.

“But overall, the tone of the production is light, and it’s a lot of fun.”

More than just laughs

     Beyond just simply getting in a few laughs during the dinner theatre, the attendees who purchase tickets will be helping to fund scholarships for Darton’s humanities program, Liss-Green said.

“First, we hope they will be entertained, secondly, they know that by buying a ticket, they’re supporting the scholarship program that they have here at the humanities division for our students.

“Our dinner theatre is a fund raiser through the Darton College Foundation, and the humanities division, to raise money for scholarships in the (humanities) division, so they’ll be doing good, and having a good time.”

Broad and outrageous characters

     When trying to know the difference between a comic murder mystery, and the more dramatic murder mystery, people must go beyond the ordinary in terms of how the characters are presented, Liss-Green explained.

“The characters are kind of broad and outrageous silly, funny, as opposed to being deftly serious.”

As one of the cast members, sophomore theatre major Erin Baty sees thinks participating in the dinner theatre production will provide for a lot of intrigue, not to mention some suspense.

“The show is full of twists, turns, and surprises, and it’s action-packed,” Baty said. “If the food isn’t delightful, the acting will be.”

Portraying Trixie Callahan-Bambino in the play, Abby Evans says she fell into acting almost by accident, despite having not yet declared a major.

“Acting was just something I was interested in, so I just took a class, and really liked it,” Evans said. “So, I’m just taking more theatre classes this semester.”

The deadline to order tickets for the dinner theatre is Friday.  They cost $25 for students, $50 for adults, and $350 for a table of eight.

For more information about the dinner theatre production, or to order tickets, call (229) 317-6554.

Dr. O. Grey Rawls Jr. MD
Dr. O. Grey Rawls Jr. MD passed away Saturday, January 28, 2012 at his residence. Funeral services will be held Monday, January 30 at 11 a.m.at Covenant Presbyterian Church with interment to follow at Crown Hill Cemetery. Dr. Paul Luthman and Dr. William “Biff” Coker will officiate.

Dr. O. Grey Rawls was a prominent surgeon and practiced medicine in Albany for about forty years. He was born in Pike County Georgia to Mary Baker Rawls and Otis Grey Rawls. He graduated from Spalding High School and entered Emory University. After graduation, he attended Emory Medical School. He received his postgraduate medical training at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, New York and Emory Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. While in New York, he met his wife, Betty Wheat and they were married in 1949. They were married for fifty four years and were blessed with three lovely daughters, Debra Rawls Pricola and her husband, Mike of Port Hueneme, California, Ann Rawls Spiak and her husband, Drew of Portland, Oregon and Nancy Grey Rawls Smith and her husband, Stacy of Savannah, Georgia, four granddaughters, Holly D. Valles, of Stockton, California Christy Dalton of Lodi, California, Brandy D. Gomez of Stockton, California and Shawna Grigg of Atlanta, Georgia. Two sisters, Mrs. Betty R. Copeland of Williamson, Georgia and Mrs. Nancy T Ethridge of Griffin, Georgia. His devotion to his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren never wavered; his passion to serve his fellow man never waned, as his family, friends, co-workers and patients will attest.

A man of sterling character, Dr. Rawls was a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church, where he served as a deacon. He was a member of Phoebe Putney Hospital Board for ten years and had formerly served as president of the Dougherty County Medical Society, a member of the Georgia Medical Medicaid Surgery Review, chairman of the United Way, president of The Rotary Club and member of the Georgia Department of Human Resources Board. Dr. Rawls was a recipient of the Albany Exchange Club Golden Deed Award, a true testament of his unflinching altruism. He served for many years on the boards of First Federal Savings and Loan and Darton College Foundation.

Dr. Rawls was a World War II veteran, retiring as a captain in the medical corps in 1949. He was an accomplished horseman, winning first place in the AM division of the Georgia Cutting Horse Association. He was also an avid aviator who enjoyed the freedom of the sky; yet, he also had a deep connection with the farmland, as he considered himself a farmer and cattleman. Free of pretension and conceit, Dr. Rawls embodied all the great qualities of a family man, scholar, physician and humanitarian; but most importantly, he was a gentleman-genteel, courtly and above all else, sincerely interested in the well-being of others.

His companion, Peggy Cullars Guillebeau, expressed this sentiment about Grey: “I have been truly blessed to be a part of his life in his later years and his passing will leave a void in the lives of all of us who were fortunate enough to call Grey our friend. He never stopped loving his wife, Betty but he never let her passing deter him from sharing his love with others.” One of Grey’s favorite quotes from Winston Churchhill was, “We make a living by what we get. We make life by what we give.”

Memorials may be made to Albany Community Hospice at 320 Foundation Lane, Albany, GA 31721.

Winter is a good time for comfort foods that warm your body and soul! I think we all have memories of a home cooked meal after coming in from the cold. I love stews and soups in the winter. When you make soups and stews, make a big pot so you can eat some and freeze some for later. Chili is also great to keep in the freezer for a great supper in a hurry.  Just thaw in the microwave or heat slowly on top of the stove. Below is my recipe for an easy, good tasting vegetable soup!!

Vegetable Soup

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large package of fresh beef stew meat

Salt and pepper to taste

1 large bottle of V8 or tomato juice

1 large box of beef broth

1 10-ounce package of frozen whole kernel corn

1 10-ounce package of frozen small butter beans

1 10-ounce package of frozen carrots

1 10-ounce package of frozen peas

1 large onion, chopped

1 head of celery, sliced thin

2 large cans of diced tomatoes

In a large, heavy bottom pot, pour oil and let it get hot on high or medium heat. Salt and pepper beef (be sure beef is dry – pat dry with paper towel). Add beef to hot oil in single layer, sear and brown all over; add onions and celery; reduce heat and wilt onions and celery. Cover with water and add beef broth and tomato juice. Cook until beef is tender. Add suggested vegetables or whatever vegetables you like; cook until vegetables are tender. (I add okra. If you add potatoes or rice, that will thicken your soup so, you may need to add more liquid.) Check for salt and pepper. Make some cornbread – umm, vegetable soup and cornbread will warm you up!

Fill freezer containers or freezer bags with enough for your family. You can have soup all winter long. You can certainly use fresh vegetables – make it in the summer when vegetables are plentiful; then you are ready for that first cold snap. Soup is great to share with friends. Someone under the weather? Take them some soup! Hope you enjoy!

May God Bless You!!
