TIFTON —
Participants in the “Bottles and Brushes” session on Feb. 21 will paint “Tobacco Barn”, created by local artist and class instructor Brenda Rose. The class will take place from 6-8 p.m. at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
“Bottles and Brushes is a unique experience,” said Polly Huff, GMA Gallery Coordinator. “Participants get to create one-of-a-kind art in a relaxed setting while getting pointers from an expert.”
Rose will guide participants through the process of recreating her original work, while students create their own interpretation before their eyes. Participants can bring their favorite beverage while enjoying an evening of creativity and fun. The Gallery at the Museum will provide the paint, canvas and brushes.
There is a fee of $25 per person for the class or $40 for a couple. Participants must register ahead of time by contacting Huff at (229) 391-5222 or by emailing her at phuff@abac.edu. Space is limited so early registration is important.
Companies who are looking for a unique team-building experience or a way to reward exceptional employees can participate in the corporate edition of “Bottles and Brushes”. The corporate painting will be custom-tailored to fit each company’s mascot, theme, or idea.
Gift certificates are available for future classes.

Identity Theft: Do all you can to protect your credit, debit cards
It's summertime and there may be only two words on your mind – road trip. As we hit the roads this summer for vacations we all make stops at the gas station and the ATM.
Unfortunately, so do identity thieves. They set up machines called skimmers on gas pumps and ATMs that are designed to fool you and benefit them. The devices read your debit or credit card and record the number, which the thief can collect by retrieving the skimmer or even remotely using a smartphone and a wireless Internet connection. The information will then be used to create a duplicate card bearing the number, but a different name. - Tift Sheriff’s Office investigating scam

GEMA study reveals increased emergency preparedness across state
The next time a tornado touches down in Georgia, potentially flattening homes and downing trees and power lines, would you know where to take shelter? If a hurricane made landfall near the coastline, causing inland flooding and treacherous road conditions, will emergency supplies and a family communications plan already be in hand? According to a new statewide survey by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency/Homeland Security’s (GEMA) Ready Georgia campaign, the answer is likely yes.
